EPA's Region 6 Office
Serving: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and 66 Tribal Nations
Agriculture Street Landfill Project
The Agriculture Street Landfill Superfund Site is located in eastern New Orleans, Louisiana. The Agriculture Street Landfill was a municipal landfill, owned and operated by the City of New Orleans from 1909 until the late 1950s. The landfill was reopened in 1965 to burn debris and waste resulting from cleanup efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Betsy. During operation, the landfill received ash from municipal incinerators and municipal wastes. Starting in the 1970s and continuing into the late 1980s, the northeastern half of the site was developed for residential purposes. This development involved about 47 acres of the former landfill site and included private, single-family dwellings; private, multi-family dwellings; public housing units; the Press Park Community Center; and the Moton School/Mugrauer playground complex. EPA investigations at the site showed elevated levels of lead, arsenic and carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs). Analyses of the health effects of these contaminants led the EPA to place the site on the National Priority List (NPL) in 1994. The site was divided into five operable units as follows:
OU 2 Residential Area
This OU consists of approximately 42 acres of residential property. These areas will be excavated to a depth of two feet. A permeable geotextile fabric will be placed over the exposed soils, followed by clean fill and topsoil. Properties will then be re-sodded and landscaped.
OU 3 Community Center
The Community Center property consists of approximately 2 acres of land which will be excavated to a depth of two feet. A permeable geotextile fabric will be placed over the exposed soils, followed by clean fill and topsoil. The property will then be re-sodded and landscaped.
OU 4 Moton Elementary School
This OU also includes the Mugrauer Playground and recreation center, all of which are closed. However, because the soils in these areas have been determined by the EPA to be clean to a depth of 4.5 feet, the EPA has determined that no further action will be required for this area.
OU 5 Groundwater
The groundwater has been determined to have been affected by the contaminants from the landfill. However, the groundwater in this area is not and will not be a drinking water source in the future due to saltwater intrusion. Accordingly, the EPA has determined that no further action will be required for this OU.

Once your online adjunct application has been submitted, please print a copy for your records and save all supplemental materials.
Do not mail application or supplemental materials to LU. Viable candidates will be contacted personally with additional instructions if warranted.
Due to the high volume of applicants, please only apply for ONE adjunct posting. Liberty University will contact you if your credentials qualify for another area.
Liberty University draws upon a rich tradition, institutional culture and core documents to distill doctrinal principles set forth below that all adjunct faculty members must affirm as a condition of employment. While all University employees are expected to respect the institutional character reflected in all foundational documents and recognize the duty to refrain from conduct and activities detrimental to the mission of the University, in recognition of the breadth of the historic Christian faith, the University holds inviolable for adjunct professors only those principles considered vital to the faithful pursuit of its distinctive mission, which are set forth below.
1. The Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the written Word of God and is therefore inerrant in the originals.
2. God is a Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory. The world was created by God as expressed in the Genesis account of creation.
3. Jesus Christ is the only son of God, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin, suffered for the sins of the whole world, was crucified, died, and was buried; on the third day he rose again bodily; he ascended into heaven; he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again for all His church, and to judge the living and the dead.
4. All people are sinners in need of redemption by grace through faith in Christ alone. The Redeemed will enjoy everlasting life in the presence of God and unbelievers will suffer everlasting judgment in separation from God.

Let me clear the air first – you don't have to be an early-morning runner to benefit from my coaching. My passion is helping you maximize your performance within the real-life constraints you face, whatever they may be.
Stock training plans don't take into account your preferences or challenges, and can be difficult to modify because, frankly, it may be tough to understand the structure of the program and the purpose of individual workouts when all you have is a bunch of numbers.
Among other benefits from having an online running coach, my experience in fitting competitive running into a busy schedule positions me to help you reach your dreams, while still meeting your other commitments, per the Predawn Runner Code. I will work with your schedule to come up with a plan that fits your needs yet helps you reach for your running goals.
Your training plan comes with:
- A training schedule, customized to your goals and history
- Details on the benefits to be gained from each type of workout
- Injury-prevention and strengthening recommendations customized to your needs, designed to keep you on the road while enhancing your performance
- Ongoing support to help you adjust to the situations that inevitably arise, like illness or a missed workout
- Insights as to race strategy for your big event – pacing, fueling, and setting your final goal based on your training
I'd be thrilled to be a key part of your board of directors, and to bring my experience and passion to help you get greater satisfaction out of your training and racing. With a proven history of delivering ever-improving results in my own training, I'm confident in having the tools that will help you make similar gains.
Please take the time to explore the options available and don't hesitate to contact me to start learning how you can be the best runner possible.

Technology has changed the way we live and many things that were once a hassle are now so simple that 7 year olds with iPhones can do it. While technology costs money, it has also lowered other costs in your life. In this article, I will talk about a few things that you shouldn't buy or do anymore to save some extra money!
Online Billing
Growing up, I remember seeing stacks of mail with little corporate logos in the corner and asking my parents, "Why do you get so much mail?" They told me that I didn't want this mail because they were bills and I had to pay the companies sending them money. Well, now you don't need to receive tons of mail or buy postage for those companies that were mean enough to not give you an envelope that was already paid for because of online billing.
Not only is online billing usually free, but it also keeps you very organized. It stores all of your account information and you don't have to keep papers upon papers of information. Switching to online billing is a must if you want to save money and stay organized!
Print is so 2004. I'm a 90s kid and I can almost guarantee that most of my kind have not touched a newspaper since they were younger. Of course I have heard adults say, "Oh, but I like feeling the newspaper in my hands and reading it with my morning coffee," but the truth is that they can multitask, hold their coffee and hit the down button at the same time, a lot more easily than holding the paper and then putting it down to drink coffee.
Not only will it allow you to get more done in the morning, but you'll also be avoiding having to subscribe to the newspaper. I'm sure the delivery boy will be upset, but you will be a lot happier when you have some more money in your wallet.
Home Phones
What is the point of having a home phone anymore? If the wrong person answers it, then it has to be handed to another person in the household and the person who answered it already knows who they are talking to, which somewhat invades privacy. We live in a directly connected world where people are trying to reach a certain person at a certain moment and cell phones allow that to happen. Why pay an extra bill for something that most households are ditching?
Cellphone plans come at all rates and you can choose which one is best for you. When you give people that number, they are getting direct access to you, no one else. There's no point in having a home phone anymore and it could actually save you a lot of money for months.
Clocks and Alarm Clocks
Now I'm not saying get rid of the old grandfather clock that has been in your home for 20 years, but instead that you shouldn't buy a clock to hang on your wall, unless you are a school with kids who need to see the time left in class. You can just look at your cellphone, which you probably already do anyway, and know the time.
As for the alarm clock, every cell phone is equipped with one of them. The best thing about the time on a cell phone is that the time is nearly perfect because it adjusts to the signals that the providers send their waves through.
Buying an alarm clock or clock is pretty dumb because you usually have one in your pocket. Save yourself some money by just looking at your phone every time like you already do!
Technology has improved a lot of things and has saved you a lot of money, whether you know it or not. Follow these tips if you haven't already and I guarantee there will be more money in your pocket at the end of the month!

Unity of the Church
"He [Peter] said to them: 'You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean" (v. 28).- Acts 10:9–11:18
The story in Acts 10 and 11 of the conversion of Cornelius involves some telling features and some interesting subtleties. First of all we should bear in mind that Cornelius was already a heaven-bound believer. He was an old covenant, God-fearing Gentile believer. In the old covenant, circumcision into the priestly nation of Israel was not necessary for salvation, and there were many Gentile "God-fearers." In a sense, there were two churches in the old covenant: an inner core church of circumcised priestly people, and an outer circle of God-fearers.
Second, when Peter says in Acts 10:29 that it is "against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him," he was not referring to God's law but to the corruptions of the Jewish oral law traditions. God never put any roadblocks in the way of Gentile conversion in the old covenant. God welcomed Gentiles at His tabernacle (Numbers 15:14–16; contrast circumcision and Passover, which were only for Israel, Exodus 12:43–49).
Third, though Peter and the Jews regarded the Gentiles as unclean, the Bible never calls any human being unclean. Under the Levitical law you did not contract ceremonial defilement from touching or even marrying a Gentile. The idea that Gentiles were unclean was a sad perversion of God's law by Jewish tradition.
Thus, if Peter had been faithful to the Old Testament law, he would have had no reservations about going to Cornelius's house. God's acts recorded in Acts 10 and 11 reinforced something Jesus said over and over again: The Jewish oral law tradition was an evil perversion, and was to be rejected completely.
Since Cornelius was already a believer, Peter needed to accept him and proclaim to him the Good News of the new covenant. But there was a change in the new covenant. Under the old covenant there was a "wall of partition" between the inner circle of the Jews and the outer circle of the Gentile God-fearers. Now, however, all believers are in the innermost circle, a point made clear to Peter when the Holy Spirit baptized Cornelius, a point affirmed by Peter when he baptized Cornelius with water.
Coram Deo
Jesus assailed the notion that there is an oral tradition next to the written Bible, having equal authority. The Reformers took up the same fight against the oral tradition espoused by Roman Catholicism. Consider whether you or your church have constructed any such "oral traditions" which may not be supported by Scripture.

Substance SalonRead MoreThere's no fire beneath the bright white mantelpiece at Substance Salon—its ornate carvings and noble busts simply cement a chic ambiance.

The salon staff carries the sophistications of the reception area to each of their stations, where they handcraft 'dos based on the tastes of clients. Pureology products help them wash and blow-dry strands into eye-catching arrays, such as the voluminous Bombshell or the Bohemian—breezy waves that wrap around a full-size acoustic guitar. Master barber Manny oversees the hot-towel shaves and soothing scalp massages on the gentlemen's menu. The salon also has an entire department devoted to brides-to-be—Styling the Bride—whose members travel to clients throughout New York and New Jersey.

Suissa SalonRead MoreCurrent owner Flora Suissa and the founders of Suissa Salon trained in Paris and Montreal before opening their first salon in 1970 in the US.

Today, Suissa features a roster of talented stylists, aestheticians, and nail artists. They've also got an ace up their sleeve: Eve Diaz, who developed her own line of beauty products—LaPenotiere—which is the primary product line featured here. Armed with talent and products, stylists deliver haircuts, coloring, and keratin treatments that discipline frizzy and static-addicted hair. They also offer weft tape extensions and hijab services, offered in private suites. Suissa's stylists pride themselves on their versatility, which means they're familiar with a large and diverse client base and are adept at working with clients of all ethnicities and a wide range of hair types.308 Boston TurnpikeShrewsbury, Massachusetts US

That's why, in her role at Vitalize MD, she oversees services designed to offset the effects of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Her methods are decidedly high-tech: when she's not tightening the skin with 3DEEP radio-frequency treatments, she's erasing fine lines with the Fraxel system's microscopic lasers and injectables such as Botox and Dysport. Even the products the center uses during its five facials—and sells to clients—have a medical bent, from the clinically tested SkinMedica line of cleansers to Jane Iredale's dermatologist-endorsed mineral makeup.57 E Main StWestborough, MA US

Thursday, June 28, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
WASHINGTON -- The political impact of Thursday's stunning Supreme Court decision on health care reform is clear -- good for President Obama and the Democrats, bad for Mitt Romney and the Republicans -- but fleeting, and thus secondary. Much more important is what the ruling means in the long term for the physical and moral health of the nation.
All but lost in the commentary about the court's 5-4 ruling, with Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. unexpectedly joining the majority, is that the Affordable Care Act was intended as just a beginning. We have far to go, but at least we're on our way.
Obama's great achievement is not any one element of the health care reform law -- not even the now-upheld individual mandate compelling individuals to have health insurance or pay a fine. The important thing is the law's underlying assumption that every American, rich or poor, should have access to adequate health care.
In the rest of the industrialized world, this simple idea is taken for granted. When Obama took office, however, about 50 million Americans lacked health insurance. Many low-income families, especially the "working poor" who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid, were faced with impossible decisions: Take a sick child to the doctor or pay the rent? Buy medicine or buy groceries?
Those who cannot afford health insurance do ultimately receive care, of course -- but often in hospital emergency rooms, where treatment is much more expensive than in a doctor's office. Our system is thus both callous and extravagant, costing much more than it should while delivering substandard results.
The World Health Organization gives the U.S. health system an overall ranking of 37th in the world, far below other Western democracies. The CIA World Factbook -- hardly the work of a bunch of left-leaning one-worlders -- reports that life expectancy in the United States is not just lower than in other industrialized countries but also lower than in Jordan and Bosnia. Infant mortality in this country, according to the CIA, exceeds that of Slovenia and Cuba. It is possible to quibble with these figures but not to ignore them. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
Most working-age Americans who have health insurance obtained it through their employers. But this is a haphazard and inefficient delivery route that puts U.S. businesses at a disadvantage against foreign competitors, most of which shoulder no such burden. Tying health insurance to the workplace also distorts the labor market and discourages entrepreneurship by forcing some employees to stay where they are -- even in dead-end jobs -- rather than give up health insurance.
For healthy individuals, it is crushingly expensive to buy insurance on the free market. For those with pre-existing medical conditions, it is essentially impossible -- but not for long, thanks to the Supreme Court's landmark ruling.
Rather than seek a radical reshaping of the health care system, Obama pushed through a set of relatively modest reforms that will expand insurance coverage to a large number of the uninsured -- about 30 million -- but still not all. He also tried to use free-market forces to "bend the curve" of rising costs, slowing but not halting their rise.
The result -- the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- is a huge, complicated, unwieldy piece of legislation. I would have loved to see the president try for something simpler and more elegant, perhaps a "Medicare for everyone" single-payer system. Maybe that's where we'll end up someday.
But despite all the rhetoric we'll hear from Romney and the GOP until Election Day, health care reform is here to stay. Provisions such as guaranteeing insurance coverage to those with pre-existing conditions are too consumer-friendly to be taken away; and once these new measures take effect, which happens in 2014, insurance rates would rise sharply -- and unacceptably -- without the individual mandate.
And medical costs will continue to soar, despite the law's efforts to contain them. Inevitably, if only because of deficits and the national debt, Congress will have to revisit the health care issue with an eye toward more radical changes.
When that next big push takes place, it will be with the underlying assumption that health care should be available to all who need it regardless of their ability to pay -- that it is not a privilege but a right. Progressive presidents since Theodore Roosevelt have tried to enshrine this principle. Barack Obama did it.

Two key things to take with you from Robinson's opinion. You can see where we are going in the future.
"I would have loved to see the president try for something simpler and more elegant, perhaps a "Medicare for everyone" single-payer system. Maybe that's where we'll end up someday."
"And medical costs will continue to soar, despite the law's efforts to contain them. Inevitably, if only because of deficits and the national debt, Congress will have to revisit the health care issue with an eye toward more radical changes."

Roberts has handed the election to Romney if he and his staff are smart enough to exploit it. He has categorized the penalty for not having healthcare as a "tax". The GOP needs to push hard the fact that the Obama administration has now placed the largest tax increase in the history of humanity on the middle class of America! We only need to look at the hideously incompetent healthcare systems in Europe and Canada to see where we are headed. It's time to wake up America! Socialism or Free-Market?
kevin 3 years, 3 months ago
Well, here we are, back on the cartoon section again! 1) Robinson is lost for words in describing Robert's decision. He wants to make sure he doesn't bode him well since he still is "conservative." 2)"not even the now-upheld individual mandate compelling individuals to have health insurance or pay a fine" Call a spade a spade. This is a TAX idiot 3)"health care reform is here to stay." Until Jan 2013 4)"it will be with the underlying assumption that health care should be available to all who need it regardless of their ability to pay -- that it is not a privilege but a right." This is simply your humbly opinion. The rest of the nation says medical insurance is NOT a RIGHT. That is NOT in the Constitution that you and Obama swore to live by. You Liberals are nothing but hypocrits. 5)"Congress will have to revisit the health care issue with an eye toward more radical changes." I guess Obama care is NOT here to stay. Make up your mind what you want to say. It will be repealed and made completely over, not a 2,500 pg fiasco of a bill with Czars. 6)."Those who cannot afford health insurance do ultimately receive care, of course -- but often in hospital emergency rooms, where treatment is much more expensive than in a doctor's office. Our system is thus both callous and extravagant, costing much more than it should while delivering substandard results." Yes, this new law will be more expensive than no insurance. For those that can't buy insurance, or who can sidestep the"tax," the taxpayers will be paying for their free health care insurance, along with welfare, food stamps, flat screen TV's, cell phones, and soon retirement funds! This also includes paying the benefits for illegals also.
There is NO incentive to ever work again folks. We should all get with the programs. Then the President, Congress, and all the rest of the ones that decide to work, will be paying everything for us that don't want to work. And there you have "socialism" in its purest form. See what happens to a country when 50% or less of the population has to support the other 50%+ folks. Is that really what you all think when you vote for Obama and any Democrat?

dmore & kevin: You should really examine facts and not allow the republican rhetoric to instill unwarranted emotions. Fact: The health care bill is not socialist. Insurance is still through private companies. We did not even get a public option to improve competition. Medicare, including the costly drug plan of the Bush administration are socialist - didn't hear the yells of "SOCIALISM" when his plan was written to the advantage of drug companies at tax payer expense. We have socialism with the insurance that firemen will be available should our houses catch fire. Before the health care plan was passed, we did not have much choice in insurance since it is usually a perk from our employer, who chooses the plan. While Medicare remains, it is the most efficient and least restrictive when compared to any private insurance policy. Why is it so wrong to allow others the same health care benefits that I get on Medicare? A single payer system would greatly reduce overhead costs for health care providers and help control the expanding health care costs. What is your argument against single payer other than "Socialized medicine scares me, I don't want others to get proper medical attention so I can get more attention". Greed and fear so often interferes with logical thinking.

the definition of socialist is when a government FORCES you to do something. My how Liberals have been brain-washed by their own kind. It also would NOT be socialism if Obama allowed health insurance between state lines, like home owners policies are written. That is why we have more choices to save money. I can see who you voted for and I hope you are unemployed for it. as for your choice, you did have a choice. Take the "private" company policy or not or resign and look elsewhere. You are so narrow-minded.

What a stretch! So, in your opinion, our government is socialist because it forces us to drive on the right side of the road? And I am brainwashed? Let me be clear. I am retired, on medicare but your "choice" to resign gainful employment in the hopes of finding an equally good job with a policy that you like better you think is a viable option for those that need their pay check to buy food. Certainly glad that you are not my representative. I do not believe that even Representative Woodall and his illogical way of thinking would support such an idea.

And how about another one of our great socialist.
"I know we're slow learners sometimes. But geez, come on now, we've got this piece of it. Now let's move forward and get the next piece and the next piece. There's no going back, though. We're on the path leading toward this universal health care. We're not on the path back on the past to Oliver Twist. Those days are gone," Michael Moore said on Thursday's broadcast MSNBC's "Last Word."
"And Republicans and conservatives who are sitting around thinking tonight, 'Year, we're going to turn this thing around.' I'm telling you friends, this is a huge locomotive. And as the American public experiences the parts of the bill that are really great, they're not going to want to turn that train around. You better get on the train or watch your party implode. That's my words of advice to the Republican party," Moore added.

Did Moore mention anything about printing lots more money ? That must be the liberals' and progressives' solution to the mountain of money this boondoggle is going to cost.

CARTHAGE To beat cabin fever during mid-winter vacation, Carthage Free Library will offer a host of family programs.
With the annual Iditarod coming up in March, the library located at 412 Budd St. will provide an opportunity to learn more about the Alaskan dog sled race and about the sport, from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday.
Racer Nancy Stark and her six-dog sled team will be on hand to give an up-close look at the dogs and the sled used for racing.
Mrs. Stark, owner of Cupcake Mushing in Lacona, moved there from Alaska three years ago with her husband, Raymond, and their dogs.
I fell in love with dog sledding the first time I went for a sled ride, said Mrs. Stark, who was introduced to the sport while living in Alaska.
The Starks relocated to Lacona because of its proximity to the Winona State Forest, which has trails for dog sledding. They offer dogsled rides and kennel tours at their business.
This past weekend, she and her team competed in the Tug Hill Challenge, placing fourth of 24 teams in the six-dog open class.
I am very proud of the team, the musher said. What is most important to me is that we all did our best and performed well. And that happened this weekend. It was a sprint race. My teams are long distance runners. We train to go the long miles and pace our runs. So, our win against the short, fast guys is especially gratifying.
During the program at the library, participants will meet Mrs. Starks dog team, learn how to harness dogs to the sled, see and learn about sledding equipment, find out how the dogs are trained and cared for and view the gear used on the trail.
Mostly, its about meeting the dogs, Mrs. Stark said. They are excited about the event.
While the dog sled event is going on outside, inside participants can talk with local author Hope I. Marston about her book, Eye on the Iditarod Aislings Quest. The story, written with 11-year-old Aisling Shepherd, tells of the young girls adventures in dog sledding and her dream to one day compete in the Iditarod.
The book is illustrated by local artist and Carthage Central High School art instructor Robert Renaud. Mrs. Marston will have photos on display of Aisling and talk about the girls real life story of her beginning to race at age 5.
Author Marcus Mastin and illustrator Jamie Peck will also be on hand with their latest childrens book, A Mouse Named Newton, the prequel to Oscar Potter and his Late Night Visitor. Co-authored by Mr. Mastins young daughter, Alana Mastin, the prequel tells about Newtons home and friends, the Potter family.
The author will have books available for sale and signing.
The librarys Lego Building Challenge returns from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. Participants are encouraged to bring their own Legos as the library only has a limited supply.
Last year, the event attracted about a dozen builders who constructed a variety of creations based around themes of movies, animals or transportation. Construction ideas will be available or builders can create whatever they can imagine. Builders and their creations will be photographed for the library Facebook page.
There will be a craft day from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday. Participants can make toad houses, grapevine wreaths, duct tape art or straw paintings with glitter.
For more information about the vacation programs, call the library at 493-2620.

How to Get Full Eyebrows
5 Tips For Getting the Bold Brow Trend
1. Grow them thick: To get the full look, first you need to grow out overwaxed or overtweezed brows. Malynda Vigliotti of the Boom Boom Brow Bar in New York City recommends applying castor oil every night to help hair growth.
2. Shape them up: To groom, choose tweezing or threading over wax so that you can remove one strand at a time as opposed to several. First, fill in brows into the shape that you like. Then tweeze any hairs outside your outline. Tip: The best place to do your grooming is outside in natural sunlight so that even the tiniest hairs are easier to see.
3. Pencil me in: Pencil and powder are two options for adding thickness to sparse brows. Pencil allows you to draw in individual hairs for a more natural look. If you can't find a pencil that matches your hair color, visit your local art supply store to look into a drawing pencil that coordinates.
4. Matching set: You want to make sure that your brows are a matching set. Not sure? Use Anastasia Soare's trick and put on a pair of sunglasses. If only one of your arches is peeking out, you have a bit more grooming to do.
5. Spotlight on you: Finish off your strong brow look by adding illuminator, bronzer, or highlighter underneath your arch and on the highest part of your browbone. This technique brings brightness to the eyes and sets off your newly full brows beautifully.

Ashier: Automating Terminal Interactions with Templates
Sunday, October 21, 2012
We are pleased to announce the open source release of Ashier, a utility that allows users to automate terminal interactions with templates.
Have you ever returned from lunch, only to find that the program you started an hour ago had made no progress because it was waiting for you to answer a trivial question? Terminal interaction automation is a technique that automatically enters commands and answers program prompts in a terminal even when you are away from the keyboard.
Ashier offers several advantages over traditional tools (such as expect): a template language that replaces regular expressions in many situations, support for nested multiline textual data parsing, and the ability to integrate with response logic implemented in any language.
Ashier aims to make terminal interaction automation simpler and more accessible to users — so you can spend less time at your computer and still get more work done.
By Chuan-kai Lin, Site Reliability Engineering Team
2 comments:
You really need a better example, or at least explain why I shouldn't just type
$ ping -c10 slashdot.org > output.txt
(or, alternatively, provide some good arguments why I shouldn't just patch/ditch the program in question if it's so badly made it requires interactive input).
Terminal interaction is sometimes unavoidable (for example, when working through a serial connection).
Incidentally, "ping -c 10" sends 10 requests, whereas the ping-react example keeps sending requests until ping receives 10 responses, so they are not equivalent.

I don't know what happened but I am willing to respond. You should choose what makes you happy (similar interests, ability to be honest, similar physical and emotional needs, expectations for your future). Because something is young , new and exciting doesn't make it better. You have to think about a relationship that is going to fulfill your qualities. If you have to get paper and pencil than so be it. Ultimately someone is going to get hurt so you evaluate your options and only you can do that. Search for where your heart is. Think back on your time together with both. If you can't decide you can't decide either to wait or let you date both of them.
Isolate qualities that are important to you and evaluate them on that scale. Also try to figure own who you are excited to see but don't base this on sexual chemistry alone. That wears off. If truly in your heart the new girl will still be exciting in 10 years than that's great. If it's 10 month that is not your choice. If the girlfriend offers , love, companionship and a healthy long term relationship than that is promising. You probably have an instinct but scared someone will get hurt or you will make the wrong choice

July 25 - National Hot Fudge Sundae Day
Today is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day! A sundae is the perfect treat to enjoy on a summer night. The cold ice cream paired with a warm, chocolate topping is one of the most delicious combinations known to man. Add some nuts, whipped cream, and cherries on top and you've got yourself a world-famous dessert!
The Guinness Book of World Records has documented several record-setting sundaes. For example, the most expensive sundae can be ordered at Serendipity 3 in New York City for the hefty sum of $1000. In 2009, the Kids Club in Brunswick, Georgia created the world's longest sundae. It measured over 130 feet long!
To celebrate National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, you don't have to go to such great lengths. Just treat yourself to a scrumptious hot fudge sundae with all of your favorite toppings!

MAC Cult of Cherry Review
I'm really behind on my MAC posts lately aren't I? I'm sorry about that guys! Forgive me? I still have to blog Cool Heat which was an absolute favorite! And of course Starflash!
But today….today is reserved for something extra special.
MAC Cult of Cherry!
I've had a few items from Cult of Cherry for a little over two weeks now but I've just been to busy to blog 'em however now was a good time to tug them out of my "to be reviewed" pile and post considering that Cult of the Cherry is live and kicking on the MAC website and should be at your counter already or coming to it shortly!
Leave it to MAC to take on the latest trend of rich, bold reds, purples, and black and add a tiny bit of unique flavoring to it to create a truly interesting collection that's both bold and mysterious. The collection's theme is the forbidden fruit of cherries and the decadence of chocolate to combine a cocktail of bold reds, rich browns, and plenty of kick!
Although some of the colors in the collection are definately difficult to work with it's fun trying. One such item for me was MAC Matte Lipstick in Bing. I've been trying to use this in a look for over a week and still haven't successfully completed a look where I didn't look like a corpse! But I vow I will get this down! It's my aim to look super glam sporting this lippie!
I created my look below using the MAC Tempting Eye Quad, Jam Packed Lipglass, and So Scarlett Lipstick.
The MAC Tempting Quad is a bit intimidating at first especially considering that the green is such a neon shade. But turns out it all rather works fantastically well together to create a rather wonderful Fall look!
The colors in the quad are Sharp which is a neon green, Next to Nothing a soft cream, Dark Edge a matte deep chocolate, and Temping a shimmering off brown.
Although I was a bit worried about mixing green up with brown after working with the palette I was impressed with how well the colors just melded together. The palette is really simplicity at it's best and it's truly easy to create elegance from four simple shades of shadow.
To begin my look I prepped my entire eye with the color Nothing, concentrating on my highbrow area. I proceeded to use Sharp on my entire lid and slowly blended it into part of my crease. After this I blended Tempting into my crease and topped it with Dark Edge. After blending upwards I added more Tempting for that added bit of shimmer and lined my lower lash line with it. I finished my look by using Dark Edge as a liner shade for my upper lash line.
It was really a simple few steps and I liked what came out of it. I'm wanting to purchase the other two quads from Cult of the Cherry so I'm heading over to my counter soonish to see what else catches my fancy as I didn't attend the pre-launch party for the collection.
As mentioned I used MAC Lipstick in So Scarlett on my lips which is a wonderful burgundy shade with tiny touches of purple. MAC Lipglass in Jampacked completed my lips. Since Jampacked also contains both touches of burgundy and grape it combines wonderfully well with So Scarlett to create a popping lip look. I was slightly disappointed that you couldn't see more of the grape in my completed look. It looks like I'm wearing more of a red lippie but still I think it's rather a beautiful combination.
I have my eye on Cult of Cherry and of course Russian Red. I'm sure tons of people are excited about Russian Red making a reappearance!
One other color I got to test out was Creme Cerise this is a taupe which has that off beat creamy brown look to it. I haven't yet used this but I think it'll look smashing with any of the quads released!
And finally, my favorite, Illegal Purple Nail Varnish! So goth! Totally appeals to my inner goth in a big way! It's the deepest purple I've come across in a nail color and simply stunning.
All in all I think MAC Cult of Cherry definately has a little something for everyone as most MAC Collections do. I'm really enjoying the boldness of these colors. MAC does bold brilliantly well but this is possibly the darkest collection I've seen pop up since I began collecting. It's definately extra special and trendy for the upcoming Fall Season! Look out for some of these looks on the runway during Fashion Week! I'm sure you'll see some of these trendy looks pop up!
Have you seen the rather funky, cool video on the MAC website? Check it out!
Love MAC Cult of Cherry?
What are you hauling?

8/20/08 13:12 Decorative Diva:
I have the Russian Red lipglass and prefer that to the lipstick form.
Here's now what I'm thinking of grabbing:
Lip Pencil – Currant – intense reddish purple
Mattene – Bing – blackened eggplant
Liptstick So Scarlet – Clean grape burgundy
Tinted Lipglass Jampacked – sheer grape with multi-dimensional pearl
Tinted Lipglass Cult of Cherry – clean red with red pearl
I'll mostly be using Currant to line my looks, though I do have Cherry liner too.
I think using either So Scarlet or Bing as a base and layering Jampacked or Cult of Cherry over it will create a few pretty looks.
Here are the lip looks I'm thinking of:
currant – bing – jampacked
currant – bing – cult of cherry
currant – so scarlet – jampacked
cherry – so scarlet – cult of cherry
cherry – urgent! – cult of cherry
This is the MAC release that I've been most excited about this year!
8/20/08 13:26 the Muse:
hey dd!
Oh I don't! Want! What collection was that released with!?
Freaking awesome haul list!
You're a bit of a goth so I can totally understand how much you are digging this. This appeals to my inner goth but many of the looks I can't pull off. You're lucky to have such creamy skin, you can so work it all!
Happy Hauling!
8/20/08 13:37 Decorative Diva:
It's in their Tinted Lipglass Line normally, if you mean Russian Red lipglass.
I'm just so excited about this collection. I just called the Nordstrom's that I'm going to (instead of the actual MAC store), and reserved what I wanted so I can just swoop in and buy it tomorrow. I've put a lot of thought into the sort of lips I want to do with this line!
I'm just trying to figure out what sort of eyes I'll pair with the lips, because I'll mostly want the focus on my lips. Though I was thinking of pairing a pale-ish smoky eye, using a light eye color like MAC Vapour or Aromaleigh Brocade or Fume paired up with a black.
What do you think? Would that look good? Or would you go with more of a neutral/naked sort of eye with just dark liner?
And yes, I'm a little bit of a goth/techno/anime girl
Thanks for the compliments on my skin! I really try, especially considering how finicky it is.
I'll be sure to let you know what I think and post about it.
8/20/08 13:48 the Muse:
I'm a total mac whore and never know russian red was in a lg lol!
I heart having it all ready to go. It makes life easier 😉
Sounds like you are hauling strong on this one!
I'm always for loud colors as you might have noticed but I love your idea of using fume and a smoked out look with the lippies. Browns and naturals will definately work with any of these as well. But simplicity rules. A bit of heavy black liner with some killer bold lips totally rocks imo!
Inner goth here and always up for good techno, acid or trance
and anime..I'm ALL over
You're most welcome. I'm envious of it! You're lucky. Even if it is sensitive it's still beautifully milky!
My skin doesn't know if it wants to be fair or medium
Can't wait to hear!
8/20/08 14:00 Phyrra:
Yeah, I was thinking a pale lid color like fume (which is a silver) or vapour (soft pale peachy-pink duochrome flecked with violet shimmer) would compliment the lips without taking too much attention from them. But, I'm also all for dark eyeliner and just something like Bare Study on the eye area. You know I'll be doing FOTDs!
Yay! Trance and acid and vocal here!
If your skin can't make up its mind, that leaves you open to more options, doesn't it?
8/20/08 15:05 oldergirlbeauty:
Oh dearest Muse, this line is so freakin' gorgeous! And I am so pale and ungoth that I cannot pull off most of this. But that does not stop me from just drooling in lust. It's like the bad boy at school, he is sooo wrong for you but you can't help lusting after him. LOL.
But, I do think I am going to cave on one of the quads – Shadowy Lady. I love the mauvey colors with the pop of blue. I think it will make my blue eyes just glow.
8/20/08 17:05 Dancingal:
Those colours look great on you! I'm not sure I could get away with that striking make up like you always seem to be able to, but I do wish we could get some of those collections out here to Oz more quickly!
8/20/08 21:36 Ann*:
wow! love your lips. can't wait for this to be out!
8/20/08 22:35 Asta:
I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve! I have an appt at my local MAC store tomorrow at 1 and I plan to get all of the quads, jampacked and cult of cherry l/g, and some as yet undetermined lipstick. I may get one or two of the long wearing duos that came out not too long ago instead of CoC l/s. But that's why I have the appointment! I can try a bunch of lip stuff and finally choose some that look great. Eeeeeee!
My normal looks are very classy/neutral for days, and smoky or bold colors at night, so I'm super excited about all the eye colors. This will be my first MAC purchase ever! *insert bad popping cherry pun here*
8/20/08 23:59 Nell:
Hi Muse,
thanks for that review! I�m all over Cult of Cherry and went a little crazy and hauling majorly! (all three quads, So Scarlet, Lightly Ripe and Creme Cerise lipsticks, Bing, Choc-ful and Kirsch Mattenes, Jampacked and Liqueur lipglasses, aaarhg)
A great collection, the colors are too sumptous to pass up.
MAC will surely be my downfall!
What else will you be getting?
8/21/08 0:44 nilla cookie:
I love the lip combo!
My fave right now is Jampacked until I see the rest of the collection in person. I was hoping that you'd wear Bing. It's so dark that I'm really intrigued!
8/21/08 3:53 Helena:
rawr musey you made me lemm for the lipsticks! when i saw the ad for the collection months back, i knew that i wanted all the lipglosses, and now you make me start wanting lipsticks too. Are these cherry scented?! *grips edge of chair* –> is in love with anything cherry* your lips are so rockin' btw. (woo is an inner goth chick too, and i love anime so much i refuse to watch tv, i actually burn and collect my titles)
Mac should seriously send you sample pieces (of the whole collection ya?) , they'd serve an even better advertisement than their own =D
8/21/08 4:35 Ann*:
sobx.. i'm so tempted to get them all!
8/21/08 6:21 Nic Nic:
you look great in that lipstick!
8/21/08 7:10 the Muse:
hey dd
I love fume. It's comparable to UD uzi Very silvery and shimmery!
Sounds like a fab combo!
Can't wait to see what you create
I'm a total geek for dutch trance/acid.
Absolutely true! I can't even begin to understand your dilemma with sensitive skin
8/21/08 7:11 the Muse:
hi there oldergirlbeauty Missed you around here!
Agreed!!!!!!! HEY no don't say that Pale is GOOD!!!!!!!
LOL! You're too cute
Shadowy lady I'm leaning towards myself I bet you'll look gorgeous in it!
8/21/08 7:12 the Muse:
hello dancinggal!
Thanks honey! Don't say that I think everyone can get away with bold shades just about finding the right ones!
Aw poo I understand It's always so crummy when collections are released later! If you need anything email me I'd happily send it over. Plus cheaper by leaps and bounds here!
8/21/08 7:13 the Muse:

8/21/08 7:17 the Muse:

Lord knows I make my month donations to mac lol!
I'm leaning towards all the piggies, the other two quads and some lippie stuff but first have to see colors in person before dishing. I'm curious about the matte lippies but I can't pull them off so well!
We shall see
Enjoy your awesome haul!
Maybe you'll do an FOTD for us!
8/21/08 7:20 the Muse:

Oh lord anime is a really serious addiction for me. I collect as well but it's a pricey hobby! At the moment I'm kinda smitten with Emma. Have you seen it?! oldie but goodie.
LORD lol! I'll appeal to mac for the entire collection! Please mac can it be whole collection time now lol!
8/21/08 8:28 Asta:
We should have a crazy off topic Muse forum for anime and musaks! I'm currently watching Soul Eater because my friends are huge fanboys and girls. They draw all the time and have made up their own characters for this show. I wish I could draw. =(
My most recent fave is Lovely Complex though. I'm rewatching it now. Does anyone like J dramas?
8/21/08 9:11 snb-the glamourista:
this collection looks great on you! i don't know if i'm ready to pull off the green shadow but the lips intrigue me for sure. thanks for reviewing this!
I've already sent my man out with an order to get me the two lip colors since I am going out of town this weekend and have no chance to stop at the MAC Counter:
– Cult of Cherry Lipglass (can not resist that gorgeous red)
– Bing Mattene lipstick (I so love a dark dramatic lip and so glad they are back for fall this year)
LoL..and as soon as I get back into town Sunday before he and I head to to the beach for an overnight getaway, I will be picking up:
– Spiced Chocolate eye Quad (OMG I am DROOLING over the colors every time I look at the Cult of Cherry page)
– Jampacked Lipglass
I already own Russian Red,so that makes one less thing to buy lol. The blush shades scare me a bit and as far as the nail shades go…OPI has their fall line coming up with almost identical shades, so I will be nabbing from there.
I LOVE your eye with the Tempeting quad. It looks AWESOME. <3
8/21/08 10:12 the Muse:
hey asta!
We'd totally rock the off topic forum 😉 hehe!
I have to admit I'm a bit of a fangirl when it comes to Soul Eater. Good stuff.
Oh my cutes. I can't draw so well either. I actually grew up believing I'd be an artist 😉 My career path turned quite differently lol!
omg Lovely Complex is so freaking cute. Love it.
I'm more of a Kdrama girl but I def like jdrama but I'm particular to Japanese Horror flick and I'll occasionally indulge in ridiculous hentai like La Blue Girl. Prevy but too funny not to watch!
8/21/08 10:13 the Muse:
hey there snb-the glamourista!
oh my gosh thanks *blush*
I gotta say the green and brown I thought was weird but it works.
The lips are definately a highlight of this collection!
you're most welcome, it's my pleasure, thanks for the comment/compliment!
8/21/08 10:15 the Muse:
hey mc!
I think this one is gonna go fast so good you got your guy on the case
I want CoC lipglass too! must HAVE!
I'm trying hard to make bing work but damn girl it's hard!
I need both of the other quads too hehe!
The blush scares me too so I think it's safe to skip!
Thank you mc I'm glad you dug the FOTD! Appreciate the compliment!
Cheers mate.
Happy Weekend whatever you do!
8/21/08 12:52 Paopao:
Hi Muse!
I NEED the nail lacquer! Love it love it love it!!!!
8/21/08 13:11 Asta:
Here's a link to my post with what I bought.
I ended up grabbing Lightly Ripe lipstick, and lipglasses in Jampacked and Rich & Ripe. I wanna go back for Creme Cerise!
8/21/08 13:57 the Muse:
pao pao,
It was my fav of the lot =-)
good stuff!
8/21/08 13:59 the Muse:
oh asta beautiful haul of goodies!
Light and Ripe looks amazing!!!!!
Cream Ceris isn't turning out well for me but I'm definately trying
8/21/08 15:26 Dao:
Hi Muse,
Ooh, you got Cult of Cherry ahead of time? Tell me where you got the hook up, I want some
Anyways, my experience with dark lips took me to this conclusion: if you want to look less ghastly, make sure you apply some bronzer on your face. Do you have those Cargo cheek palettes? Well, break it open and apply to your cheeks girl!
Do you have Kirsch lipstick? I think I like that one.
8/21/08 20:41 Decorative Diva:
Here's my MAC Cult of Cherry Blog entry:
I am just SO in love with these colors!
Lip Love!
8/21/08 19:22 Decorative Diva:
So, I didn't like Jampacked!
I was shocked!
I swatched all the colors I was looking at on my arm, and just didn't like it. It's too much like another color I have, Oversexed, in my eyes.
I LOVED Cult of Cherry. It's OMFG perfect bright red to me. I almost wanted to buy a 2nd one.
I hauled:
Currant Lipliner
Bing Mattene
So Scarlet Lipstick
Cult of Cherry
Pink Poodle.
I didn't have any really good pinks, and since I didn't like Jampacked, so I checked out a few pinks and liked this one. It's described as a bright pink fuchsia with pinky-gold shimmer.
I'll be posting about my haul soon, and doing lip looks
8/21/08 22:46 Asta:
My secret plan is to bring my mom to MAC this weekend. She told me she wanted my help looking for a new lipstick that wouldn't dry her lips out. *GRIN* I'm dragging her to the mall!
Then, in a shower of thanks she'll buy me a lipstick, too. Haha!
8/22/08 10:13 the Muse:
morning dao!
I did indeed hehe!!!! It was a PR kit that was sent with the last two collections
Oh no sniff no cargo cheek palettes but bronzer..good idea..hmm..I'm always for white, white, white face Obsessed with being pale but a bit of healthy color would look great for a loud lippie!
8/22/08 10:15 the Muse:
hey dd!
No kid!? It's my fav so far
Looking at your fotd now! Gorgeous!

Great blog entry 😉 Commenting over yonder in a sec 😉

8/22/08 10:18 Phyrra:
I'm just completely in love with Cult of Cherry. It's gotta be my favorite release that MAC's ever done.
And yes, I wish with some of the previous releases that I'd bought 2 of things. I love my Glitz Gloss and they're about half gone! I don't know that MAC will ever release them again.
I did a FOTD with Bing today, let me know if you likey
8/22/08 11:53 the Muse:

9/8/08 19:59 ???:
Jampacked lipglass look lovely! And want to ask, how does the blush, i think it's called "Plum de Pois"? fares? Have you seen it or swatch it? Thought of getting it, i think I miss the Grapefruit lipglass already~ you think it's still in stores?
9/9/08 11:47 the Muse:
hey plue!
isn't it!? It's not so good. I swatched it and it's really a dirty muddy shade. No likey 😛
LOL I love your new profile pic! Sheesh you like 12 in it! hehe lucky you!
someone mentioned that pink grapefruit is actually regular catalog I think!? Or maybe a repromote. Sadly it's gone here but ask and see if it's available in the normal black packaging
Love ya!
9/9/08 19:06 ???:
Ooh~ Tat's bad, I thought it would be a nice plummy red shade… >_<
I think I will go try find Pink Grapfruit, I don't mind the normal packaging though, cuz I think orange is so not me! 😛
And thanks for the compliment! 😀 It's all cuz of the haircut!
9/10/08 14:19 the Muse:
mmm naaa not to me 😛
I didn't like it.
It's gorg! I hope you find it!!!
You're most welcome You're lookin' cute as always!
9/15/08 2:11 Helena:
Argh musey. Don't freak out, but i have to tell you that i.didn't.purchase.anything.from.this collection.
I am serious, i started out wanting like all the lip glosses, blooming blush and mattenes but hey, mattenes are not sold in my country?! byebye Bing.
Blooming was this sweet frosty pink in the pan which looked plum on my cheeks- a tad too dark for my nc20 skintone, sigh another miss.
Then ok, the lippies- i very much wanted cherry blossom, rich and ripe and jam packed, but i found that these were really duapable.
Cherry Blossom is almost an exact replica of Fafi's Sugar Trance which i already have, then i'd MAYBE get jampacked because i like the finish, but it's not all that a unique colour.
Considering that mac glosses have this sticky slightly tacky texture, there are many other glosses that are a better investment; and in my country they marked up the prices to almost $20 usd per gloss and $18 for an eyeshadow single, when you grab a handful of items the cost really starts adding up. =[ If the cost was the same i wouldn't mind buying more stuff.
9/30/08 13:57 the Muse:
you have to forgive me, I've been terribly swamped and I owe you this comment reply plus email etc..I apologize!
Don' hate me too much!
Awww shucks you really hated it didn't you? I'm so sorry you weren't loving this…it's understandable as some items were awesome while others were just meh! I did find some gems in the selections but others to me, were blah as well!
Just chalk it up as a good way to save money for the next collection hehe!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Collection
Kate Moss has released her first ever lipstick collection for Rimmel London. Honestly, if they said they had created a Zooey Deschanel Collection I'd likely run to the drugstore, she is just as cute as a little button.
This never gets old…
But hey, I won't run but I will skip to the drugstore to check out what Kate has created with Rimmel!
This collection features seven of Kate's favorite lipsticks with a black diamond pigment complex and special edition packaging featuring a signature.
Colors Include:
- 01 (deep brick red)
- 04 (royal purple)
- 08 (dusty rose)
- 12 (candy coral)
- 14 (blushed nude)
Learn more at www.rimmellondon.com
What do you think?
Any of these for you?
Rimmel Lipsticks and I haven't really gotten along in the past but I'm eager to give these and whirl and every so happy they are popping up on our side of the pond finally.
1/4/12 13:17 Jessica:
Bummer, They're not releasing the rest of the colors in the US? I was intrigued by 03, this nude shade I saw swatches of.
1/4/12 13:20 breyerchic04:
Ooh pretty, may want.
1/4/12 13:21 Nana:
I stopped liking Zooey after some obnoxious tweets she made a few months ago -.-……..
1/4/12 13:28 Stephanie C.:
Might be interested in the Candy Coral or Blushed Nude Curious to see what they're like
1/4/12 13:43 Sarah S.:
They didn't release 03 or 05 here? Glad those are the ones I bought off asos.com! They are quite nice <3
1/4/12 15:08 Shauna:
They've been out here in Ireland for quite a while. 08 is THE perfect everyday shade for me, love it <3
1/4/12 15:17 Amy:
I saw them yesterday at the drugstores! I wasn't sure whether I should buy them or not though since I've been buying so many lipsticks lately XD
1/4/12 16:17 Beaubits:
I am in love with 14! It is the perfect nude for my skin tone, and it is very moisturizing! It reminds me a lot of my Revlon lip butter in creme brulee. I would like to try 03 though…maybe I can find it on ebay since I can not find it anywhere.
1/4/12 16:48 Bonnie:
Love Kate M so may have to check these out!
1/5/12 0:17 Shana:
These are awesome!!!!!!!! Beautiful colors, they wear very well, even through lunch! Bought them all
1/7/12 19:41 Siobhan:
Can anyone tell me how 03 and 14 are different? I looove the Rimmel lipsticks and might have to order 05 and 03 (I bought 08 and 14 today).

Mike Ciampo reviews several hazards that may present themselves at summer calls.
Receiving an alarm ticket for a child caught in a fence, be prepared, you'll never know what type of fence. It could be a wrought iron fence or a chain link fence. If you'll notice this fence. It's chain link and it's tied into the post with little wire ties. It's very simple to remove. Start the hag in point, put pressure on the fork and lift upward and you'll snap the link. That's it. Keeping the revenue stored inside the rubber gloves. This way we can dime and lash a patient to a backboard or the stokes. Always keep a backboard in the stokes basket so you're prepared to remove a victim or for a firefighter removal. Approaching a fence, always size up each side. Look at the hinges, the lock assembly, and what it's made of. Decide where you're gonna attack it. Many times, attacking the hinges instead of the lock will be easier. If you notice on this. Fence. The pin is very easy to knock out of the hinge. And it will go quicker than cutting the lock assembly or the fence. In this close up of the hinge you can notice the pin. Many times they might have a cheap cotter pin in the hole, which can easily be broken out. Simply knock up the pin and you'll release the hinge, opening the gate from that side. When you encounter a chain and a padlock, either attack the chain or the padlock. Make your decision. Remember, a bow cutter or an iron saw or the Halligan will always work. On the top of this fence, you'll notice that it is braided or twists. Many times children climbing over will get their pants caught in there or there may be impaled on these top parts.

Plain Dealer: Specific plan, timeline and structure for Cleveland newspaper will be known soon
CLEVELAND - In a letter to readers Sunday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer editor says the "specific plan, timeline or structure" of the newspaper will be known "very soon."
The talk in recent weeks has been what will happen to the Plain Dealer? Will there be deep cuts or publication changes from 7 days a week to 3?
While the answers to those questions still remain uncertain, readers of Sunday's newspaper were told that "very soon" answers will be known.
Sunday's letter from publisher Terry Egger and editor Debra Adams Simmons begins with "Dear Readers," telling them "we do not have a specific plan, timeline or structure for Cleveland. But we will - very soon."
It goes on to say, "whatever our final decision, this is not about cost cutting. It is about making a bold move to sustain our mission and viability in the future. Our real value to the community, indeed our core competency, is the information we gather and provide for and about Northeast Ohio. We will continue in that role and we will continue to do it better than anyone else, while at the same time recognizing consumers' demand for information when and where they want to receive it."
But it's not how reporters there feel. John Mangels, chairman of the Save The Plain Dealer steering committee, wrote a response, saying "journalists who are conducting the Save The Plain Dealer campaign share Mr. Egger's and Ms. Adams Simmons' commitment to preserve quality journalism in Cleveland. But the actions of the paper's out-of-town owners undermine that commitment."
Mangels fear is that Advance Publications, which owns the Plain Dealer, will reduce the daily newspaper to three days a week and fire half or more of the experienced journalists who produce them. He said that's what's the publisher has done in other cities.
"It's basic math. Fewer journalists equal fewer questions, less scrutiny and shrinking coverage. It's all about cost-cutting. And that's unfortunate, because there are other alternatives available to Advance besides dismantling The Plain Dealer."
An exact date isn't known for the next direction of the Plain Dealer.
Save The Plain Dealer posted a letter on their Facebook page that you can read by clicking here: http://5.wews.com/fo319.
Below is the complete letter found in Sunday's newspaper:
Dear Readers:
Many of you have written both of us in recent weeks as word has spread about the critical work we are doing here at The Plain Dealer to better position our news organization for the future.
We want to thank you for the outpouring of support but also to reassure you that our single most important goal remains to serve Greater Cleveland with the best in breaking news, business, sports, arts and other local coverage, in-depth investigations and news you can trust as well as advertising solutions that help businesses grow. As we embrace dynamic shifts in the way information is consumed, our planning aims at ensuring our leadership in the market, upholding our journalistic standards and continuing our mission to serve the region for years to come.
As many readers know, we are part of Advance Publications. Several other Advance Publications newspapers, including in markets in Michigan, Alabama, New Orleans and, most recently, in Harrisburg, Pa., and Syracuse, N.Y., have launched - or are getting ready to launch - new, digitally focused companies.
While Advance has been developing and refining this effort for several years, it is the role of our leadership team in Cleveland to design the best model to safeguard the future of our enterprise and to preserve the quality of our journalism at The Plain Dealer.
Ours is not an "either/or" decision between print and digital. We must do both.
We do not have a specific plan, timeline or structure for Cleveland. But we will - very soon. We have opportunities to capitalize on the tremendous strengths of The Plain Dealer, Sun News and cleveland.com, which are all under the Advance umbrella.
We also have a chance to be even more useful and responsive to an audience that in recent years has migrated to digital platforms - looking online, on mobile devices and tablets for news and information we previously provided only in print.
Whatever our final decision, this is not about cost cutting. It is about making a bold move to sustain our mission and viability in the future. Our real value to the community, indeed our core competency, is the information we gather and provide for and about Northeast Ohio. We will continue in that role and we will continue to do it better than anyone else, while at the same time recognizing consumers' demand for information when and where they want to receive it.
The Plain Dealer has to respond to the sweeping changes
we see every day in how consumers are getting their news and information - and how advertisers are marketing themselves in this increasingly digital age. We must build a sustainable growth company, ensuring we have the stability and resources to increase our news coverage in the communities we serve - in print and online.
To do so requires a significant reset of our business. If we maintain the status quo, we risk doing what everyone - our employees, advertisers, and the community - wants to avoid: disappearing.
The Plain Dealer has evolved before in response to changing conditions and as part of our striving to best serve the needs of our readers, advertisers and the overall community. While rapid changes are occurring in the way news and information are distributed, one thing has not changed and will not change - our deep commitment to Northeast Ohio to deliver the highest-quality journalism and marketing solutions, on all platforms. We welcome your feedback.
The Plain Dealer can be reached at: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Early Office 2011 for Mac images emerge
updated 04:05 pm EDT, Mon March 29, 2010
Outlook shows streamlined interface
Some early screenshots of Microsoft's Office 2011 for Mac have been leaked, a report claims. Not the least because the updated software is only due late this year, the shots are said to represent early code, still in transition to a final Cocoa-based form. Of special note may be Outlook, which is replacing Entourage and employs a streamlined design paired with the ribbon interface first introduced for Office on Windows. Several of the screenshots can be seen below.

Williamston council tables money transfer
WILLIAMSTON - Members of the Williamston Town Council spent about 25 minutes Monday discussing whether to transfer $150,000 from the capital improvement fund to purchase property at the Milliken plant. They voted to table the matter until their May meeting.
The purchase of the property was approved at the February meeting but the money had to be transferred for the purchase.
Council member Mack Durham peppered attorney Richard Thompson with questions about the town's liability if the property had any environmental issues or contained contaminants.
"We're not wanting to buy a liability," said Durham.
Durham and council member Michael Looper requested that something be in writing from the property owners saying they have no knowledge of any environmental problems, contaminants or landfills on the property.
"I don't think it would be wise of us to purchase property that we're not aware of what's on it," said Looper.
"I thank it's a reasonable request to ask if they're aware of any problems with the property," said Durham.
In other business, the council approved transferring $44,800 for restrooms at Brookdale Park and $52,389 for the town's portion of a community block grant from capital improvement funds to pay for the projects. All the projects had already been approved by the council at prior meetings.
The council approved the second reading of changes in the employee handbook to say the town would not pay for retired employees' insurance but the retirees had the option to purchase insurance through the town if they wished.
The council also approved the first reading to raise the rates a wrecker service can charge to tow a vehicle to match the rates South Carolina Highway Patrol uses.
Mayor Carthel Crout said the current rate was $125 and would increase to $130 for a stranded motorist and $175 for a vehicle towed for a violation.
The council will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. April 5 at Town Hall to discuss the sewer line on Church Street and problems in the surrounding area. The council will hold a budget meeting at 8 a.m. on April 7.
