If I exchange my phone do they wipe it while you are in the store?
Are you plugging/unplugging the cables/phones while music is playing? There is some kind of quirky circuit in WP that will pause/mute sound when you plug something in while playing. Have seen this happen on both my Surround and L900. Try plugging/unplugging when music is paused and see what happens. Also, if you are using any kind of case, make sure the audio jack is fully seated.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
My Lumia 900 was working fine then all of a sudden it didn't make any sound even with volume 30/30. Looking back I believe it started after I disconnected a car audio cable. I eventually tried some headphones. I removed the headphones and again nothing. I also used an audio cable for my car. After removing it the built in speaker sound was back. I thought the phone was fine but a few days later the same thing happened again. I tried the car audio cable and the sound did not come back. I tried some headphones and the sound came back. Totally random and very annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this? I really don't want to exchange my phone.
If I exchange my phone do they wipe it while you are in the store?
Just wanted to know whether you managed to sort your problem out ?
Having the same problem on one day old lumia, but found that I press the edge of the glass between the windows logo and search button the sound returns.
I believe there is a loose connection at the bottom of the screen with regards to the sound speaker

|Aged Care: Meet the family!
|Wednesday, 10 November 2010 |
Update: 23 - 25 Aug 2013:
Lawyers believe families might be able to sue the Commonwealth for not safeguarding adequate standards of care in nursing homes, with some families pushing for a class action. Please contact us to register your interest.
Meet the Minister, DOHA and their offspring…keeping it all in the family!
Aged Care Crisis (ACC) wonders if many people realise the interconnections between the various policy, educative and regulatory arms of aged care and the full implications of such cosy relationships.
While it is beneficial to have a co-operative body assisting aged-care homes improve the quality of care provided, it is problematic when that body also performs a monitoring and assessing role and publishes the results of those assessments within the aged-care market place. Such a conflict of interest cannot be sustained and acts against the well-being of frail people in residential care.
ACC recommends the following:
Conflicts R Us?
The conflict of interest endemic in the DOHA has been noted by Professor Merrilyn Walton who chaired last year's Review of the Aged Care Complaints Investigation Scheme.
"... it's very difficult for the Department because it has so many conflicting interests ..."
Similar concerns were also made last year on ABC Four Corners' program:
"... the independent Aged Care Commissioner, Rhonda Parker, found that half of the CIS decisions that came to her for review were flawed. She told (ABC) Four Corners the CIS often failed to give reasons for rejecting complaints, that investigative processes were often poor and complainants were denied natural justice.
But the department is not obliged to accept the commissioner's recommendations and frequently does not.
Professor Alan Pearson, a former panel chair in the old Complaints Resolution Scheme, told Four Corners the CIS was operating to protect the minister. "It's a deeply flawed system" ..."
The Commonwealth Ombudsman's submission to the CIS review stated:
"... If the Aged Care Commission is to be both truly independent and perceived as such emphasis must be given to those things that impact on independence.

Hello there!
The MoCCA Fest was awesome. Best MoCCA I've been to yet. I had a blast talking to everyone. I got to spend some time with some of my good pals. It was a great weekend in every way.
I'm really excited right now though because I just found out that I've been added as an exhibitor at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival next month! I love Toronto and I love a ton of the people that are going to be there. In all my excitement I decided to try to get a new mini comic done for the show, which is just a short three weeks away (sneeky peek up above).

Alfred was the first of several musical success stories within the Newman family. His brother, Lionel, got his start in music on the vaudeville circuit, most notably accompanying Mae West in the 1930s.
Following in Alfred's footsteps, Lionel found success in film as a composer and conductor. One of his biggest fans was actress Marilyn Monroe. He became the actress' favorite conductor and collaborated with Monroe on many of her films, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Let's Make Love.
In the late 1950s, Lionel Newman was named director of television music at Fox. During this period, Newman hired John Williams to write the theme music to the 1960s science fiction TV series "Lost in Space." Williams would later go on to score music for some of the biggest blockbusters of all time, including Jaws and the Star Wars films.
Appropriately, the newly remodeled facility was renamed the Newman Scoring Stage as a tribute to the Newman musical legacy.
That legacy began with the influential work of the late Alfred Newman. A prolific composer with over 250 film credits to his name and an astounding 45 Academy Award® nominations – nine of which he won – Newman pioneered the art of film scoring in the 1930s.
Answering a request from Irving Berlin to be musical director for the United Artists film Reaching for the Moon, Newman left his home in New Haven, Connecticut, and arrived in Hollywood in 1930. More work followed, and in 1935 Newman created the memorable 20th Century Fox fanfare music that is still used today.
While older brother Alfred worked at Fox for 20 years, Lionel Newman's tenure at Fox spanned a remarkable 46-year period, during which time he received eleven Oscar® nominations – winning the Academy Award® in 1969 for his work on the musical Hello, Dolly!
Alfred's younger brother, Emil Newman, was also an accomplished conductor and composer in film who contributed to nephew Randy Newman's early pop records.
Today a younger generation of the Newman family continues to contribute to the musical heritage established seventy years ago. Maria Newman has found success as a studio violinist in the film industry, as a classical violinist and an accomplished classical composer of concert works and children's musical tales.
The continued success of Randy Newman (Toy Story), Thomas Newman (The Shawshank Redemption) and David Newman (The Nutty Professor) in the world of film scoring – not to mention the enduring legacy of the Newman Scoring Stage – ensures that the Newman name will continue to represent a musical tradition of excellence in film.
Academy Award® and Oscar® are the registered trademarks and service marks of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. All rights reserved.
The scoring stage has gone through two major renovations since its inception: the first in the mid-1970s and the second in the early 1990s.
At a cost of $4 million, the stage reopened after its second renovation in 1997 with an enlarged control room and state-of-the-art recording equipment to meet current technology standards. The main floor where the orchestra plays was restored to its original size of 7,500 square feet. The structure of the room, which included the hardwood floors and even the interior walls put up by Alfred himself, was left mostly untouched so as to retain the unique acoustic qualities that have made the room special to so many composers.
By John Burke
Widely acknowledged as one of the most important historical landmarks of the Hollywood motion picture industry, the Newman Scoring Stage has a long and distinguished history that spans the course of several decades. Originally used as a shooting stage for Fox Movietone Pictures in the 1920s, the facility became a scoring stage for film music in 1936. Since then, the venue has been associated with some of the most memorable film music ever recorded.
From the landmark sessions with Julie Andrews recording the classic songs from The Sound of Music and Marilyn Monroe's performance of "Heat Wave," to recent sessions for such films as The Matrix; Austin Powers:The Spy Who Shagged Me and Planet of the Apes, the Newman Scoring Stage has maintained a tradition and standard in the world of Hollywood film scoring that has had a lasting influence on the art of the motion picture.

MSU pitcher Jason Hoppe's brilliant performance against Augustana in the NSIC tournament put him on the map
By Reece Hemmesch
Midway through last season, MSU hurler Jason Hoppe saw his lifelong dreams slowly fading away from him. The then-sophomore was barely getting time out of the bullpen and coming off one his worst outings, a relief effort facing conference-foe Augustana in the sixth inning of a 0-all tie. There were no outs with clear bases when Hoppe took the mound. Three batters later, Augustana was up a run and Hoppe was out of the game. Suddenly he could feel his visions of the future dying. Professional baseball then seemed more like a childhood fantasy than a possible reality.
A couple successful starts came his way towards the end of the season before the Mavericks headed to the NSIC tournament as the no. 1 seed. Two decisive victories came their way early, followed by a heart-breaking loss to rivals St. Cloud State that put SCSU in the driver's seat to take the tourney. MSU then faced an elimination game in five hours with their top three pitchers already used up. The Mavericks knew it was a lose-go-home situation, but were still quite confident in receiving a bid for regions, so head coach Matt Magers made the determination to give the ball to Hoppe, who saw his chance to prove himself flashing right before his eyes.
Every athlete needs one of these occasions. That recognizable moment, that cliff note in their career where they went from just an average player to one of the elite, an instant where people look back and know: that is where it all began.
He was a little tense but the pre-game jitters faded away as soon as he stepped into the ballpark. From there, Hoppe could only describe his presence as being "locked in" for the rest of the evening.
"I knew right when I arrived that night that it was go-time. I had to throw the team on my back and prove myself on the mound because I only had a few starts at that time," Hoppe said. "I walked on the field and from there I knew I had to get myself going mentally. I don't even remember much of the game; I was just so locked in."
The game would be a beat down, as MSU jumped to a quick 4-1 lead early and rounded out the late innings with six more in the seventh; but just like any other mind-blowing individual feat in the world of sports, the score is not the number that is remembered from this one. For the fans in the stands and the two teams on the field, just one number comes to mind: 17, Hoppe's strikeout count when the final out was recorded.
Even though he doesn't remember, Hoppe was on fire. The 6'1'', 165-pound sophomore was dazzling with exploding fastballs that were put just about anywhere he wanted them to go that night, off speeds that left Vikings hitters baffled in the box, and his go-to pitch, the change-up, which Augie can agree was his finest pitch of the night.
The game didn't start out like most fairy tale performances begin. Hoppe found himself in trouble early with back-to-back doubles in the first inning and a run already across the plate for Augustana. For Hoppe, nightmares of games past were beginning to flood back.
"I told myself, let's just try to get on cruise control and get some quick innings," Hoppe said, whose mental preparations seemed to have worked out, because that is exactly how the rest of the game went.
The first inning brought in Augustana's lone run of the game and two strikeouts for Hoppe, followed by two more in the second, one-apiece in the third and fourth, and two more in the fifth. Suddenly, six innings had gone by and Hoppe's K-count sat at 10, great numbers for anyone in the starting role.
With the Mavericks piling on six more in the top of the seventh, Magers decided to stick with Hoppe to not exhaust any more of the bullpen for a possible two-game set the following day.
From there, the hitting for Augie was brought to a close and the strikeouts for Hoppe became a ritual.
He would not allow a base runner in the final three innings, getting two strikeouts and a fly out in the seventh, followed by a foul out and two more to end the inning in the eighth.
"My two previous starts I could not get through the seventh and onto the eighth. Once I got there vs. Augustana, I knew I had to do it," Hoppe said. "Our pitching was low and I was throwing well. I knew I had to go out there and finish the job."
"The game was mine."
Everyone knew Hoppe was ready and able to finish what was left of the game in the ninth, but no one could have expected the wild ending that was about to surface.
His arm was tired to say the least, as his pitch counted peaked over 100, but he knew he couldn't just stop there, it was time to close; his two off speeds would have to hit the showers early, the ninth would basically be nothing but him and the old no. 1.
"I think I only threw two off speeds in the ninth, it was nothing but fastballs. I was just trying to hit the spots and gas up as hard I could."
The leadoff batter would go down swinging for the first out and 15th K, the second would follow, no. 16 on the night.
With one batter remaining, Hoppe took everything he had towards pinch hitter Trevor Sandgren. The count sat at 2-2 when he fired his last pitch of the evening, which landed right over the plate with Sandgren's bat still sitting on his shoulders, a strikeout to end the game with Hoppe putting down the last five batters on strikes and ending with 17 K's, a historic feat in the young pitcher's career.
MSU catcher Nolan Johnson could see the zone Hoppe was in early in the game and knew something big would happen with it.
"He was just very focused. He was in control the whole time and he had all three of his pitches working for strikes," Johnson explained. "I just knew whatever I put down he was going to throw it just like how I asked for it. They didn't have a chance to hit it and had no idea it was coming."
Magers knew it too, as he recognized early that Hoppe was hitting his spots with all three of his pitches, a big factor in what Magers called one of the greatest pitching performances he's ever seen.
"To be able to locate all of your pitches in a hitting count, that was the key," Magers said. "Some people get that early in their careers, some don't get it for a while, but that is really what separates the good ones from the great ones."
For Hoppe, it was cloud nine following the dominating performance, until it was time to do it all again eight days later with MSU fighting in the Central Region tournament. Their was no chance of elimination in this one, but a loss to New Mexico Highlands would have pinned the Mavericks in the exact same position they faced in the conference tournament. Two more wins and a berth to the College World Series was theirs.
"At that point it was like no team could hit me," Hoppe said. "I felt unstoppable."
A pretty good evaluation of himself, considering he would go the distance once again in the regional tournament, scattering seven hits and two earned runs while fanning nine as MSU moved on once again with a 6-2 victory.
Hoppe's number would not get called until 11 days later when the Mavericks faced elimination in their third game of the Division II College World Series. They would need four more victories in their next four games to call themselves national champions and a single loss would have sent them back home to Mankato, meaning no baseball for another seven months. This time, Hoppe could feel the pressure as he began his warm up.
It was there that Maverick graduate assistant Dave Williams helped Hoppe out with a pep talk before the game. Williams was a sports psychology grad student at MSU and was good with helping the players in their mental preparations.
"He told me you can see nervousness in two ways," Hoppe explained. "You can think you're scared to go out there, or you can just go out and shove against these guys. That really helped me put things into perspective."
Whatever he felt in his pregame warm ups slowly melted away, as Hoppe fired another complete-game shut out, with six hits rendered and 10 strikeouts, as MSU moved on to the next step in the CWS.
Hoppe would see no more action in the tournament, as MSU was eliminated two days later at the hands of Delta State, but he ended the season with three complete-game victories in which he only gave up three runs and 36 strikeouts, something that will be always be remembered with MSU's magical run to the World Series in 2012.
His freshman season, he threw just 10 innings. As a sophomore, he struggled out of the bullpen until his heroics in the conference tournament. Now he's a junior at MSU and knows he is one of the top guys on one of the best rotations in the NSIC.
If there was any speculation that Hoppe's three-game, post-season performance was just a fluke, the start of this season has quickly quieted the idea. He currently sits at a 4-1 mark in '13, firing 41 innings and boasting a 2.20 ERA with 48 strikeouts. His most recent outing took place last weekend with Hoppe's seventh start of the season against a familiar opponent, Augustana, where his six-inning one-run presentation silenced the Augie hitters once again.
The MSU squad currently sits at a 22-7 record in 2013, mainly due to the dynamic 1-2 punch that Hoppe and senior Harvey Martin have created on the hill. Although Hoppe's stats lay somewhere in the solid category, Martin sits in the amazing class and is flirting with deadly, giving up just four earned runs in 40 innings pitched, while striking out 58 batters. Considering the bulk of MSU's season is played in four-game sets with conference opponents, knowing Hoppe and Martin will be out there for two of them is something Magers believes is huge in the success of this team.
"Our goal is to win three out of four in every series we play in.," Magers said. "Having those guys at the top of the rotation puts you in a pretty good position to get two games every weekend."
With MSU's other starter Tyler Ockuly sidelined for the remainder of the season with an arm injury, Hoppe knows that he and Martin will have to pull even more of their own weight if the Mavericks plan on making a return run to Cary, N.C. for the College World Series.
"We talked about it and we know that we have to step it up now. We have high expectations for this season and to finish strong like last year. We all will need to get to the next level to keep the rotation moving."
With multiple teams making a bid for an NSIC championship and the Mavericks moving onto a tougher region in 2013, the thought of spending a week in Cary at the end of the season must stay exactly that, a thought.
But one thing is for certain, if Hoppe keeps performing better and better with every outing just like last season, those dreams and goals of professional baseball won't feel too much like a distant imagination anymore.
They will be, in his eyes, an actuality.

Mobile Shopping Trends Signal Lack of Information for Consumers
In an article written for Mashable, Jinal Shah, digital strategist at JWT in New York, has outlined seven facts about mobile shopping that might surprise you.
A study was conducted, focusing on adults who used a smartphone or tablet to shop over the last holiday season. The results show that consumers are constantly using their smartphones whilst shopping, not just over Christmas, but all year round.
Some of the main findings from the study include:
Mobile Shopping Doesn't Equal Mobile Purchasing
Whilst many people are using their phone whilst shopping, not many are actually purchasing via their mobile device. Price comparison actually ranks the highest amongst activities conducted by mobile shoppers. Maybe this shows the opportunity for retailers to focus their mobile sites and apps on price and product comparison, rather than trying to drive purchases.
Mobile Phones Hardly Impact Shopping Habits
Most users say that shopping on their mobile has no effect on their decisions to purchase more or different items. Again, retailers who try to up-sell and push purchases via their mobile site or app may not have the right idea. Giving shoppers useful information and making their purchase quicker and easier is a much better strategy.
The Mobile Experience is Good, But Still Needs Work
Most mobile users were dissatisfied with the navigation of many mobile sites. They also mentioned the lack of product information and the need for better mobile shopping apps. Mobile web security is also a major road block to conversion, with many consumers worried about entering credit card details into their phones.
All in all, it is clear that mobiles and shopping are becoming ever more synonymous, but are brands giving consumers what they want from mobile sites and apps? If consumers are not influenced to purchase by what they see when they browse online, then the focus should be on giving them more information, as well as helping them through their purchasing cycle. This could involve simply having more detailed product descriptions, comparisons and reviews available, or the introduction of apps which make in-store purchasing easier, by enabling customers to reserve items for pick-up at a later time, for example.

COVINGTON -- City utility customers now have the option of paying their bills online.
Covington launched a new Web site with an online payment feature last week at https://ecareweb.cityofcovington.org. A link is also available at the city's home page at www.cityofcovington.org.
Once customers register to use the site, they have access to their billing, meter reading, usage and transaction histories, along with service information dating back to 2000.
They will also be able to make payments online. Previously, customers had to either pay in person at City Hall, over the phone or by mail.
"It has been Mayor Kim Carter's and the City Council's intent for some time now to make doing business with the city of Covington as convenient as possible. The best way to do that is to offer online options to our citizens," said Bobby Johnson, information system manager for the city. "The Infinity Link bill pay Web site is another step in that direction. The city of Covington intends on offering as many online options as possible to our citizens and customers in the future."
The Web site has been available for city employees for about two months, and their feedback has been positive, he said.
Now, the city's approximately 15,000 utility customers have the opportunity to test it for themselves. The only utility that cannot be paid online is the stormwater fee, Johnson said. In the future, the city may add a feature allowing payment of permits and other fees from the Planning and Zoning Department, he said.
Customers can also choose whether to continue to receive an online bill or electronic bill in the future.

Whenever the NFL lockout ends, expect the Seahawks to make a run for Oakland Raiders guard Robert Gallery (above) in free agency, according to ESPN NFL analyst John Clayton.
"The big name is still going to be Robert Gallery at guard," Clayton said of potential free agent options for the Seahawks on Thursday's Kevin Calabro show. "If they have a chance to get him and complete the offensive line, you can see that's the big thing that they want to try to get done this offseason."
The Seahawks have put a major emphasis on rebuilding their offensive line since the end of the 2010 season.
Head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider spent their top two selections in the draft on OT James Carpenter and OG John Moffitt to help reinvigorate a once-prominent run game. Since leading the league in rushing in 2005 – RB Shaun Alexander's MVP/Super Bowl season – the Seahawks have failed to have a running back rush for over 1,000 yards in a season.
While free agent's such as Philadelphia QB Kevin Kolb and Minnesota DE Ray Edwards may also be on the Seahawks radar, Clayton believes the previous working relationship between Gallery and new OL coach Tom Cable – Gallery's former coach with the Raiders – will be more than enough for the former first round pick to choose Seattle.
"You know he's got a great relationship with Tom Cable (and) I think he'd like to stay on the west coast," said Clayton.
"I think there's a fondness for coming up with Tom Cable in Seattle."

Vibrators.com loves the Boudoir Vibrator because it is unrelentingly strong, and perfectly pretty to boot. This traditional hard-shelled vibrator can be used for clitoral or g-spot stimulation.
About the Boudoir Vibrator
The Boudoir Vibrator is a soft lilac color, with black detail that looks like lace. This velvet-touch vibrator is incredibly smooth to the touch.
Just like most vibrators that take C batteries, the Boudoir Vibrator is really strong. It scored as Unrelenting in our vibration tests, which is the highest power ranking. The Boudoir features multiple speeds, controlled by a knob on the bottom of the vibrator.
The Boudoir Vibrator measures in at 8.25 inches long, with 6.5 inches of insertable length. It has a diameter of 1.3 inches.
How does the Boudoir Vibrator Feel?
The Boudoir Vibrator feels luxurious, with a silky exterior and rigid length. This traditional vibrator is fairly large, and feels just as wonderful for clitoral stimulation as it does for internal stimulation.
Use and Special Instructions
Use the Boudoir Vibrator with any type of personal lubricant and clean it with an antibacterial sex toy cleaner or soap. Takes 2 C Batteries.
Boudoir Vibrator Facts
Understanding Sound and Vibration
Here at Vibrators.com, we test each and every vibrator for vibration and sound levels. Our Vibrator Institute doesn't test vibrators the way you might think; instead, we use scientific equipment that reads vibration and decibel levels. Based on these levels, each vibrator we sell gets a rating. The Power Level ratings are Gentle, Pleasurable, Intense and Unrelenting. The Sound Level ratings are Whisper, Purr, Hum, Buzz and Thundering. The Boudoir Vibrator has a rating of Unrelenting Hum. This means it vibrates at the strongest levels possible, and has an average noise level.
If the experts at Vibrators.com don't like the look, feel, sound or vibration level of a vibrator, we don't sell it. That's why Vibrators.com only sells about 300 vibrators. There are more than 20,000 vibrators on the market, and it's hard for customers to tell the difference between them. We narrow our vibrator selection down considerably to make shopping easy for you.

I had a great new years party thrown by acid-rain-cloud, girl knows how to party!
Started a new job, though it might be temp, we'll see but I like it thus far.
Also due to the job I might be a bit slower on commissions but I'll do my best to complete them in a timely manner.
Got a new camera for Christmas so you might be seeing more photos in the future, I'm really loving it. As mentioned at the new years party I'm a Photigrefur now.
Spent last night at hookah, joined by drinnock, luossuomynona and darkshadowwolf1979 and a few others. I snuck in a couple of bottles of wine cause hell yeah this tiger's gonna party it up on his birthday.
Today I got a gorgeous custom tiger stripe engraved sterling silver ring with a light aquamarine stone in it and A zelda themed massive cookie in the shape of the Master Sword, and a nice lunch of king crab. I don't think I could as for better company and gifts!

While the monkey who shot a selfie that created an interesting copyright question can't sell her image, the photographer whose camera was used is giving away an 8 x 12 canvas of the image to each person who requests one and donating £1 per canvas to the Sulawesi crested black macaques Conservation Programme in Indonesia.
The monkey's image has drawn a lot of attention since Wikipedia refused to take down a copy of the selfie after British photographer David J. Slater sent a takedown notice. Wikipedia denied the request stating that the image was not copyrightable under the United States Copyright Act.
According to a press release posted on Slater's website, the photograph was taken in 2011 when he was on a photography tour of the tropical forest north of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Slater said he initially set up a camera with a self-timer, but a monkey ran off with the camera.
"So I put my camera on a tripod with a very wide angle lens, settings configured such as a predictive autofocus, motorwind, even a flashgun, to give me a chance of a facial close up if they were to approach again for a play," Slater says in his release. "I duly moved away and bingo, they moved in, fingering the toy, pressing the buttons and fingering the lens. I was then to witness one of the funniest things ever as they grinned, grimaced and bared teeth at themselves in the reflection of the large glassy lens."
In an attempt to combat Wikipedia's ruling, Slater wants people to get from his newly formed company a free 8 x 12 canvas print of the selfie (shipping is extra, as are larger sizes). He indicates he may seek legal action against Wikipedia.
The legal question is whether the image can be copyrighted. Wikipedia has taken the position that under the U.S. Copyright Act animals cannot own copyrights.
Slater argues that, while the monkey pressed the button, he set up the camera and should be the author for copyright purposes.
"Because our common law does not grant nonhumans legal rights, the only possible author – if there is one – seems to be Slater," states Cheryl Dancey Balough, adjunct faculty of Copyright Law at Chicago-Kent College of Law and member of Balough Law Offices, LLC. "While the Copyright Act does not define the term 'author,' the U.S. Supreme Court has defined an author for copyright purposes as 'one to whom anything owes its origin.' Case law also indicates, however, that authorship requires more than simply making a valuable contribution to a work and more than 'mere direction or ideas.'" Whether Slater's contributions to creation of the selfie are sufficient to make him an author is the question a court would need to answer should Slater file a lawsuit.

YP Spotlight: Sara Kurovski, Pleasant Hill's youngest ever and first female mayor, wants to lead city to new development
Sometimes the excitement of victory can get squashed by a stuffed toy fish.
On Nov. 5, Sara Kurovski was elected as not only the first female mayor of Pleasant Hill, but also its youngest ever. The morning afterward, she woke up and got her two-year-old son ready for the day.
Kurovski said: "Mommy won the election last night. I'm now the mayor."
The boy looked back, unamused: "Where's my Nemo?"
Perspective is important for Kurovski, 29, but she doesn't shy away from her accomplishments, either. She sees her landslide victory last month as a small piece of female history-making, one that gained national attention after being featured on the website for Sheryl Sandberg's best-selling "Lean In" book.
She's preparing to lead Pleasant Hill toward a new era of economic development, and she's got a lot of learning to do.
Kurovski, an operations program manager at Metro Waste Authority, wasn't the only Des Moines-area millennial to seek public office last month. Kyle Mertz, 31, won re-election to Altoona's city council. Chris Diebel, 32, lost an at-large bid in Des Moines. Getting young people to even get off their duffs to vote for a president is tough enough. Any Obama or Romney staffer will tell you that. Getting them to show up for local races is even tougher.
Kurovski knows this. She looked across the room at a candidate forum this fall. Everyone looked older than 40. "It was like, come on!" she said.
She's always known she'd do something like this, something like public service. Her husband, Todd, knew it when he married her. Her mother had to have known, too. Kurovski — then Sara James — always wanted to be the boss, the teacher at playtime, the one in charge. "Did you do your homework?" she'd ask her sister growing up in south Des Moines. "You need to turn off the TV."
"My mom would always tell me to stop being mom," Kurovski said. "I just played that role."
Some things you can't shake. Kurovski calls the desire for public service a bone within her body. It's not that she wants to be a politician (she doesn't) or that she's good at lying (she's refreshingly blunt).
It's just that she gets government.
Heck, she got a masters in public administration from Drake. She served as secretary to the student senate during undergrad study at Missouri's Truman State University under Sean Bagniewski, she said. He lost a runoff election last month to be councilman of Des Moines' northwestern ward.
Kurovski can't build houses, she said — leave her out of your next Habitat for Humanity project. What she can build, though, are budgets, plans, the stuff of economic development. "I do my volunteering with our city," she said. "That's why I decided to run."
The Kurovskis knew they were meant for Pleasant Hill the first time they laid eyes on their future home there. It's a modest split-level home with steel siding near the Hy-Vee, around the corner from city hall. But it had nice sidewalks and connecting trails. She could walk to get her groceries.
The Kurovskis also knew that Pleasant Hill was a city they could grow into, residentially and governmentally. She knew growing up in Des Moines that it would be years before she could get really involved with city government. There's just too many people, she said, so where would she contribute? "I knew, logically, a small community, a suburb of Des Moines, would be a better place for me to start."
She started out as a resident representative for the facility planning of fire, police and library departments. Then she went on to the board of adjustments. Then plan and zoning, and the Polk County Conservation Board.
She set her sights on city council, until she heard then-Mayor Mike Richardson wouldn't be running for re-election.
"Pleasant Hill is a fairly young city," she said, "and I feel like the city is going through puberty, so to say. We're right on the cusp of determining who we will be for the rest of our existence."
This was the right time, she thought, for her and Pleasant Hill. Others thought otherwise. Sure, she had supporters in the race — a political action committee, even — but others questioned whether a woman with two young kids ought to be away from home, at city hall meetings in the evenings.
As she made rounds during the race at forums and meet and greets, she said, woman after woman gave her disapproving looks. One particular glance, she said, at a meet-and-greet at Mayor Richardson's house, proved too much. "Two seconds ago you just said you were so supportive of a female mayor in our city," she said she told one woman. "And what you're really telling me is that you're not."
After that, she started talking about her kids. She posted a blog on LeanIn.org, (the site for the Sheryl Sandberg book) about how she wasn't afraid to be a young mother running for office.
The site contacted her and asked to promote her story.
A few days after she won the election, Sheryl Sandberg herself — the COO of Facebook — sent a congratulatory email.
Aside from the historic election and the big-name praise, Kurovski says she has a lot to learn about being mayor. Her main goal: attract first-class commercial development for Pleasant Hill, the kind of shopping centers that will spare her east-side suburbanites the trip to Jordan Creek.
"If the residents want me around, I can stick around and keep helping," she said. "Or maybe I'll rise to a higher capacity. Who knows? Who knows."
Pleasant Hill Mayor Sara Kurovski's advice for those considering civic service:
"Hands down, more than anything, find the best person you can relate to and have a relationship with who's involved with the city or council or a board. They will guide you and help you find where your talents and role can be," Kurovski said. For her that meant meeting Benjamin Champ, Pleasant Hill's community development director. He helped Kurovski evaluate her talents and find the right city openings, she said.
And be bold with your involvement, Kurovski said. Don't worry if you've never seen city involvement before: "It was kind of me showing up, saying, 'Hey, I want to come to the party.' And they're going, 'Who is she?' But that's just my approach to life."

It was clean and the bed was comfortable It could have been a little bit better cared for the price you charge.

I've Just Been Told I Have Ewing Sarcoma
Ewing sarcoma is a type of cancer. It is very scary to be told that you have cancer. You may feel like you're in shock. You may not even want to believe what the doctor has told you. There are probably many questions you want to ask but you don't know where to start.
First of all, it's okay to be overwhelmed. And it's okay to feel afraid. But you shouldn't let those feelings stop you from finding out as much as you can about Ewing sarcoma and about the options you have. Because the more you know, the less helpless and afraid you will feel. And the more you know, the better you will be able to work with your health care team to make the best choices for your treatment.
To decide the best course of treatment, your doctor needs to know as much as possible about the cancer. This will involve getting a variety of tests and working with more than one health care professional.
For example, your health care team will include a doctor who specializes in cancer, called an oncologist, and an oncology nurse. You may also see other specialists, such as a surgeon or a radiation oncologist (a doctor who uses radiation to treat cancer). The team will answer all your questions and guide you through each of the steps that you'll take before, during, and after treatment. Your team will let you know what tests are being done and what the results mean. They'll help you make treatment decisions. Remember, you can always ask for a second opinion to ensure that you feel comfortable with your plan.
People diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma now have more treatment choices and more hope for survival than ever before. Doctors keep finding new treatments for Ewing sarcoma and new ways to help people diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma have better lives. They are continually learning more about Ewing sarcoma, its prevention, detection, and treatment.

I know I've mentioned this before, but it is worth bringing up again. Wired Magazine published an article in 2004 about Dutch traffic engineer Hans Monderman, and a trend he started to improve roadway safety by making things appear more dangerous.
The theory goes like this. Putting up signs and designing to remove all possible things that interfere with traffic makes roads appear safer than they really are. Drivers react by becoming more relaxed and less vigilant, resulting in accidents. But if you make roads appear dangerous, for example, by removing signs, people pay more attention and there are less accidents.
Monderman has several real life examples.
Riding in his green Saab, we glide into Drachten, a 17th-century village that has grown into a bustling town of more than 40,000. We pass by the performing arts center, and suddenly, there it is: the Intersection. It's the confluence of two busy two-lane roads that handle 20,000 cars a day, plus thousands of bicyclists and pedestrians. Several years ago, Monderman ripped out all the traditional instruments used by traffic engineers to influence driver behavior – traffic lights, road markings, and some pedestrian crossings – and in their place created a roundabout, or traffic circle. The circle is remarkable for what it doesn't contain: signs or signals telling drivers how fast to go, who has the right-of-way, or how to behave. There are no lane markers or curbs separating street and sidewalk, so it's unclear exactly where the car zone ends and the pedestrian zone begins. To an approaching driver, the intersection is utterly ambiguous – and that's the point.
Monderman and I stand in silence by the side of the road a few minutes, watching the stream of motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians make their way through the circle, a giant concrete mixing bowl of transport. Somehow it all works. The drivers slow to gauge the intentions of crossing bicyclists and walkers. Negotiations over right-of-way are made through fleeting eye contact. Remarkably, traffic moves smoothly around the circle with hardly a brake screeching, horn honking, or obscene gesture. 'I love it!' Monderman says at last. 'Pedestrians and cyclists used to avoid this place, but now, as you see, the cars look out for the cyclists, the cyclists look out for the pedestrians, and everyone looks out for each other. You can't expect traffic signs and street markings to encourage that sort of behavior. You have to build it into the design of the road.'
This theory is being applied in many places across Europe and the US. I think it is in intriguing because it is based on modern knowledge of human psychology, not traditional fluid dynamics based engineering, where everything is about vehicle flow.
It applies to things other than roads as well. Any system with extensive safety measures and procedures becomes at some point prone to catastrophic failure. We've seen this in situations as diverse as the recent subprime crisis (where instruments designed to spread and thus mitigate against default risk actually destabilized the financial system), nuclear power accidents and of course 9/11, where security and hijack procedures led to routinized behavior that was exploited to horrific effect.
That's not to say that we should remove all safety measures and devices. But the instinctive reaction to a problem is always to add more layers of protection, and at some point, this takes us backwards. I think this type of understanding of human behavior is something we should definitely take account in the design of roads and other systems.

|Cooperative Programs Make the Library Rock
by Carole B. Shutzer
Cooperative programs make the library rock at the E.J. Harrington Elementary School in Lynn, Massachusetts. Believing that supplemental programs bring a library to life, I have attempted to partner with various organizations and schools to bring additional programs to an inner city student population who would not ordinarily have the opportunity to develop this background knowledge to increase learning and comprehension.
In one such program this past fall, the library partnered with the Tower School, an independent school in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Tower has been a supporter over the years to the Harrington School, partnering with us on a reading program for our first graders on a weekly basis as well as sharing other cultural programs. This year Tower hosted an exhibition of quilts by the Gee's Bend quilters from Alabama. These quilts have been displayed at many museums all over the United States including the Whitney Museum in NY and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. These quilts tell the history of a small rural town in Alabama founded before the Civil War. After the war, the all black community continued to survive in almost isolation, each generation of women producing distinctive quilts that tell their story. Quilts continue to be made today.
Tower School invited our entire 4th grade to their school to view the quilt exhibition. There are many books available with a quilting theme and to build background knowledge, all the 4th grade students were read stories about quilts, including The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco, The Josefina Story Quilt by Eleanor Coerr and SamJohnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt by Lisa Campbell Ernst. The 4th grade social studies curriculum includes regions of the United States. We tied this program into the study of the southeast region as well. The computer technology teacher developed a lesson for the 4th graders in the computer lab as well, researching the history of Gee's Bend. Traveling 5 miles by bus to the Tower School, we were treated to a special program and a viewing of the Gee's Bend Quilts. The students were divided up into groups, some going to a music program to learn hymns that the Gee's Bend women sang while quilting, some participating in a cooperative physical education program with Tower 4th graders, each group touring the quilts exhibition with a lesson planned and presented by the Tower School community relations director. What a day it was! The Harrington students learned US history, viewed museum quality modern American art and interacted with students from another school.
The Harrington School Library was a critical part of the program, developing the special day with Tower, providing the books on quilts to the classrooms and working to instill in the students a life long love of reading as a way to develop background knowledge to increase learning.

Alianza in partnership with the National Compadres Network, just wrapped up a series of trainings entitled: Working with Men and Boys to Eradicate Domestic Violence. The trainings were offered in October and November in Fairfax, VA; Los Angeles, California; and San Antonio, Texas. Co-hosting agencies included: Fairfax County Government, East Los Angeles Women's Center, P.E.A.C.E Initiative and the American Indians in Texas.
Approximately 150 participants (women and men) from throughout the country took part in the trainings.
Participants in this workshop:
Were able to reflect on the characteristics of men and boys that they grew up with
Gained an increased understanding of how boys are raised and the effects on their relationship development skills, the way society sees Latino men and boys, and how internalized oppression relates to their behaviors
Explored aspects of cultural roots and teachings that have been passed on through generations.
Gained an understanding of issues that Latino men and boys face, the baggage they carry, the gifts they offer
Gained an appreciation for the diversity of men they will encounter within the Latino population, based on country of origin, language, generation in U.S., citizenship & time in the country as it relates to inclusion of men and boys, in dealing with the issues of domestic violence.
Gained a grounded basis for the inclusion of men and boys in dealing with issues of domestic violence and learn how to reach out and engage them as advocates
Gained a greater awareness of practical strategies and practices to engage Latino males and about what tools, interventions, materials and other resources are available.
Learned about the work of the National Compadres Network and about the importance of living the principles of "El Hombre Noble," modelling desired behaviors and having a place where men can ground themselves—"circulo."
The trainings were funded by Grant Number 2011-TA-AX-K091 from the Department of Justice/Office on Violence Against Women and conducted by Maestro Jerry Tello and Dr. Ricardo Carrillo. See what people are saying about our trainings.

This lecture series, established in 1973, honours Donald Gow, the first director of the School of Public Administration. The Donald Gow Memorial Lecture brings a prominent figure in public affairs to Queen's University each year to speak on a topic in Canadian public policy. It is intended to complement the basic direction of the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, which encourages interdisciplinary analysis of public policy issues. The Gow Lecture is an integral part of the School's annual Policy Forum, held each spring.
Born in Calgary, Donald Gow received his BA (Political Science) at the University of Manitoba in 1940. He served with the Royal Canadian Signal Corps in Europe during the Second World War and was discharged with the rank of captain. Both before and after his war service overseas, Gow worked with the Civil Service Commission of Canada.
From 1953 to 1956, Gow was assistant chief of the Defence and Works Section of the Treasury Board in Ottawa. In 1957, he attended the Imperial Defence College in London and then went to the NATO offices in Paris. In 1960, he returned to the Treasury Board to become involved in the early stages of pay research and labour policy.
In 1965, he enrolled as a doctoral student in Political Studies at Queen's University. Following his graduation in 1967, Dr. Gow became executive assistant to the principal at Queen's University, and in 1970, the first director of what was then the School of Public Administration. Motivated by his public service and academic experience, he worked vigorously for the establishment and continual improvement of the Master of Public Administration program at Queen's until his sudden death in 1973.
Past Gow lecturers:
Hon. Roy Romanow, former Premier of Saskatchewan,
Phil Fontaine, former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations
Gordon Giffin, United States ambassador to Canada
Hon. Gary Doer, Premier of Manitoba,
Hon. Nellie Cournoyea, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation

I don't know what year this is from, but it's a video of Terrance Parker playing. It's a fascinating watch. I love his playing style. He's one of the few house jocks I've traveled for in the past. Aside from a few Toronto shows I was lucky enough to head down to upstate New York one year (Buffalo or Rochester...I can't remember now). "Galactic Peace Alliance" party with Terrence Parker, Robert Hood and Dj Hyperactive. I was going nuts that night. None of which is relevant to the video really. Sorry you had to sit through a rehash ;)

Going Home: Middle-aged girl finds a home fit for a princess
VERO BEACH - For each of the last five years, Dogs & Cats Forever has found homes for more than 500 animals, which, in turn, means that for each of those years, the no-kill shelter has been able to accept 500 new animals in need of care.
Some are young house pets. They generally arrive with favorite foods, treats, toys, and medical records, and they are the ones which have little trouble finding new families. Others, however, arrive as lost or abandoned strays, with no history, no paperwork and no names. For them, the wait for a new home could be months or even years.
In February of 2013, a tortoiseshell calico was brought to Dogs & Cats as a stray. She was middle-aged, and frontal declawed -- a bad combination for a cat living outside on her own. Not knowing her real name, and having exhausted all the obvious calico names years ago (Callie, Cali, Kallie, Kali, etc.) a volunteer named her Merida, after a Disney princess.
Merida disliked shelter life. She was advertised as TC Palm's "Pet of the Week," in the hope of finding her a home quickly. Happily, Lisa Ioppolo of Vero Beach saw the ad, and called the shelter. Ioppolo was looking for an older, "huggable" cat, and Merida complied. "She jumped in my lap and put her head on my neck and shoulder," said Ioppolo. "I was in love."
Ioppolo said that she and Merida became "instant roommates," adding that Merida loves "hide and seek" -- running upstairs and hiding under the bed, and then running downstairs again when Ioppolo "finds" her.
Ioppolo said that Merida is talkative, adding, "She answers when I talk to her, and there are times I know she gives me the answers I want to hear." One answer Merida gave Ioppolo recently was regarding her name. Ioppolo said that she tried several names, but the only one Merida responded to was "Calley" (of course).
Ioppolo said that Calley is probably glad no other cats have witnessed all the daily hugs and kisses she gets. "I would not hesitate to again adopt a middle aged cat," said Ioppolo. "They are a bit wiser, and for me Calley has worked our perfectly."

How to Move on in Life
Too many people today are stuck in the past, or dwell on the future. Both of these just waste your time, not letting you live in the moment. Whether you've been through a difficult time or see the past as "the good ol' days", this article shows you how to just move on in general.
Method 1 of 3: Past
1Motivate yourself to quit looking back. The only way to move forward is to face forward.Ad
2Think about your road of life. If you're always looking in the rear-view mirror, do you know where you're going on a curvy road?
3Know that 'better things' are ahead, even if the precise nature of these things is hard to predict.
4Don't be discouraged. Sometimes, people will shove you out, or you will somehow be forced out of that past. That's the door of the past slamming in your face telling you desperately to move on.Ad
Method 2 of 3: Future
1Stop and think. Can you really control the future?
2Nothing happens by accident. Also worded as "everything happens for a reason." So why should you doubt? What happens, happens.
3That bigger and better door isn't ready for you to burst through just yet. Don't be the child taking on the adult. You haven't grown in the present all the way.Ad
Method 3 of 3: Now
1Enjoy it! There's only going to be one day like the one you are living today. Each day is precious, and as you grow, time just goes faster. You never know when you will pass away, so live each day to the fullest.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- There are seasons for everything. What is happening to you now doesn't last forever.
- The reason why this is happening to you is because you don't want to change. Do we still go out and hunt for food, or have to make our own homes like the Colonists did? Do girls today still have to wear a skirt or dress? See how much change has done good?
- Being stuck in the past, or too stuck to the future can cause depression.
Things You'll Need
- Motivation
- A positive attitude
- Be open to new things in life
- Self Respect
