A Santa Rosa family was left shattered Sunday by a car crash in northeast Mexico that killed a 46-year-old woman and left her daughter and niece in critical condition.
As word of the accident filtered back to Sonoma County, grief spread fast.
"It feels like the neighborhood is empty without her," said Alma Chavez, a neighbor who described a trail of visitors coming to pay respects at the family's home, where Rosa Mar? Torres Garcia ran a popular day care called Happy Faces.
A Mexican online newspaper, La Polic?ca, reported the family was traveling in Coahuila state when Torres Garcia's husband, Francisco Garcia, fell asleep at the wheel of their 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe.
The SUV, carrying seven people, rolled over on a highway, killing Torres Garcia instantly and leaving the couple's daughter, Cristina Garcia Torres, 16, and a niece, Alexis Vargas, 17, critically injured.
"Students are getting organized to help support them, and we're talking about how we can help the families," said Brien Farrell, a government and economics teacher at Elsie Allen High School, where both girls are students.
La Polic?ca said Garcia, 46, had been driving for about 18 hours without rest as the family headed south to his native state of Guanajuato, as they do every year, to spend the holidays with his and his wife's families.
Garcia, a construction worker, and his daughter's 7-month-old daughter, Maya, were less seriouly injured and have been discharged from hospital. Vargas's brother, Steven, was unhurt.
Marky Phanchanh, who has been close to the family since he was in kindergarten at Bellevue Elementary School, learned what happened from friends.
"I thought they were lying when they called me, then I just started crying," said Phanchanh, a junior at Elsie Allen High.

Seattle and the U.S. Owe Carbon Reductions to Natural Gas
When Greg Nickels was mayor of Seattle, he released a study of Seattle's carbon emissions, claiming the city would meet the emissions reduction targets in the Kyoto Protocol. When the report was released in 2007, Nickels announced "A new inventory of Seattle's greenhouse-gas emissions shows we are meeting our Kyoto Treaty targets — reducing climate pollution to 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012." The goal of the report was to highlight his leadership on reducing carbon emissions.
The report, however, contained a secret: Greg Nickels' policies didn't reduce carbon emissions. In fact, most of the carbon emissions occurred during the 1990s. As we noted when the report was released, it revealed that scores of Seattle homeowners switched from oil heat to natural gas because gas was cheaper. The report admits, "For economic reasons, natural gas has gained favor over oil for space heating since 1990." This reduced the city's emissions because natural gas emits less carbon per unit of energy than oil.
Now, the U.S. as a whole is experiencing the same effect.
The Associated Press announced last week that "the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal."
The irony is that while Greg Nickels and other environmental activists have lamented the country's inability to pass costly and restrictive carbon regulations (something the EPA is now attempting to undertake), the switch to natural gas put the U.S. and Seattle within reach of the Kyoto targets. Despite that success, those same environmental activists oppose increasing the supply of natural gas, further lowering the price and continuing the trend toward replacing coal.
So, will environmentalists celebrate these reductions or will they quibble, arguing they weren't achieved in the way they intended. How they respond will say a great deal about whether they actually care about reducing carbon emissions or whether carbon emissions are simply an excuse to adopt other policies they support.

|Basic Study of a Mixture of N-butyl Cyanoacrylate, Ethanol, and Lipiodol as a New Embolic Material.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23101924 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|PURPOSE: To clarify the configuration change of N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) polymerization with increasing proportion of ethanol, the properties of a mixture of NBCA with lipiodol plus ethanol (NLE), and the feasibility of use of NLE for aneurysm packing in a swine model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The polymerization configuration of NLE was explored using ratios of 1-4 parts NBCA and 1-3 parts ethanol per 1 part of lipiodol; a 1:1 ratio of NBCA to lipiodol (NLE110) was used as a control. The distance that NLE migrated into saline flowing in a tube was measured. A carotid artery aneurysm was created in each of 18 swine. Aneurysmal packing with three configurations-NLE110, NLE at a ratio of 1:1:2 (NLE112), and NLE at a ratio of 1:1:3 (NLE113)-was attempted in six swine for each configuration.
RESULTS: Regardless of NBCA composition, medium-sized droplets, a single large droplet, and a noodle-shaped extrusion were observed in NLE with lipiodol versus ethanol ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3. NLE110 migrated as viscous fluid to 190cm from the injection site, whereas NLE112 migrated for 81cm±11 and NLE113 migrated for 74cm±9. Instant outflow of NLE110 from the six aneurysms caused occlusion of the parent artery, with adhesion to the microcatheter. Packing was achieved with minimal adhesion for all six of the aneurysms packed with NLE112 or with NLE113.
CONCLUSIONS: With high ratios of ethanol, the NLE polymerization configuration acquired solid-like properties with potent occlusive ability and negligible adhesion to the microcatheter, suggesting its feasibility for packing of aneurysms.

US Manufacturing data; Treading water US still lead manufacturer.
- 0 Comments
US Manufacturing has remained rather resilient in the last few years and has recovered nicely from the depths of the recession. Some tend to think that manufacturing in the US is somehow gone but the US is still the leading manufacturing country in the world. A good portion of manufacturing requiring large labor forces has been outsourced yet many of the higher end manufacturing functions are still within this country. High level technology, engineering, medical devices, and other such industries are still doing very well in this country. This kind of manufacturing data although positive for overall growth trends does not do much for those out of work. If we look at actual manufacturing data we are very close to contracting. Clearly this has been a very slow recovery. The chart below highlights this and any figure below 50 signifies a contraction:
The above is showing slow growth in US manufacturing.

Two York-area senators are part of a new commission to determine how state money is distributed to the 500 public school districts in Pennsylvania.
Sen. Mike Folmer, R-Lebanon/York, and Sen. Rob Teplitz, D-Dauphin/York, are part of the new 15-member Basic Education Funding Commission, which has one year to develop and recommend a new formula for distributing the $5.5 billion in public education.
The commission comes after the passage of House Bill 1738 in June, which set up the parameters for the commission.
Teplitz said he has been a vocal supporter of public education and has been a part of the Senate Education Committee since he was elected in 2012.
"What we need to do is make sure that the state is investing appropriately in the school districts that need the most help," he said. "I'm not sure that's happening right now."
Funding formula: For years, York lawmakers and school officials have called for another look at the formula that distributes basic state funding, saying the formula doesn't account for growing school districts in areas like York County, while continuing to give more money to shrinking districts in other parts of the state.
An analysis by The York Dispatch in April showed Pennsylvania's 10 top school districts in terms of per pupil funding decreased in enrollment but continued to receive increases in state funding.
Meanwhile, a majority of York County school districts grew in number, but were ranked at the bottom of the list in terms of increased funding.
In one example from 1996 until 2012, the Cameron County School District in northcentral Pennsylvania saw its number of students drop from 1,169 to fewer than 700.
Still, the district continued to receive more funding from the state for its students to the point where its per pupil funding increased 204 percent even as it lost 40 percent of its student body.
Over the same 17-year period, Central York's enrollment jumped 57 percent to 5,900 students. And while funding has gone up, it amounts to a 38 percent increase on a per pupil basis.
Commission meetings: Teplitz said the commission met for an organizational meeting last week and has another meeting Aug. 20. Several meetings will include hearings about the funding formula; then the commission will work to establish a new formula, he said.
Some of that discussion will include data such as poverty levels, enrollment and other factors, Teplitz added.
"We have to get to a point where we're investing more resources where they're most needed, not based on other political factors," he said.
Folmer, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, is also on the committee, his office confirmed.
Timetable: The committee has a goal of finalizing a report by January, so it could be used for the 2015-16 school budget process, according to Folmer's office.
But by law, the commission has up to a year to complete the report, which makes the deadline June 10, 2015, said Tim Eller, spokesman for the state Department of Education.
The commission is made up of six senators, six House representatives, and three state administrators.
The three state administrators are acting secretary of education Carolyn Dumaresq, budget secretary Charles Zogby and deputy secretary of administration in the Department of Education Nichole Duffy, Eller confirmed.

One of the things I love about the SOFREP community is that we get to archive historical content. There's so much in the way of rich history that doesn't get captured in the few (relatively speaking) books that do get written. This is especially true when it comes to wars like WWI, WWII, and Korea. Enjoy this interview I dug up and thanks for all your support.

@Recon6 6, Roger that on the old suck meter being pegged at times. From what I hear there's only one alternative to getting older...and neither of us are ready for that option just yet. I've become a big Apple fan. User friendly and a pleasure to use. I've got a 21 inch iMac desktop now and looking at a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display for travel. More expensive than the PC Windows operating systems but definitely worth it in my opinion.

After months of reading and researching I bought a Huskylock S-25 today and got it at a great price!!!
I debated between the Husky and Babylock and just could not justify the extra cost for the Babylock.
It's not that hard to change to the coverstitch, you don't have to change plates!
I would still like to get a seperate coverstitch, but this will allow me to have both untill I can rebuild the sewing funds a little.
I am so excited, I can hardly wait!!
And it only cost $950!!
Brand new in box with acessories and extention plate for
Was going to post where I bought it, but am not sure thats allowed. But will be happy to share info as they have great prices on all Husky's right now.
Thanks for all the advise and info I have gained from this site!!
Congratulations!!! That IS a great price. I saw one yesterday for 1899. They were even asking more than 950 for the s21.
I hope you enjoy your new machine just a little bit more because of the great deal you got! I always do ; )
You definitely got one heck of a deal there! Congratulations on your new purchase and be sure to post a review once you have had chance to play with it. Reviews on this model are in very short supply right now for some reason.
Aloha Sue & BIG CONGRATULATIONS!
I am so excited for you and to think that for living in the middle of no where you got a great price.Does the dealer still offer free lessons etc? Well it can't be all that bad considering I just bought one from EBAY for $1040 & it still has not arrived, not even counting any free lessons unless I want to fly them out here in exchange. Right--I'd just as soon fly another PR member out here if I was that hard up! LOL
I just hope that you didn't make your choice based on my 2 months of extensive research. I'd really feel bad if I got my S 25 & you got yours, & neither one of us could figure out how to operate them.Wouldn't that be something to chat about? Please keep me posted and I will you. They said 5 to 9 business days, and he waited 13 days before shipping mine. He better be on the up and up, but I'm still going to let Ebay know that he delayed shipping 13 days later. I first want to receive my machine & make sure it works first. Now come to think of it I should report to EBay his delay. It sounds like he is trying to hide something.
Thanks for the tip fot Atlantic Thread Supply! In fact they are having a sale on Maxilock Thread for $1.73. Not sure on S & H. You guys n gals are the best!

I'm only going to blame you if I can't sew anything on it!!
No, just kidding, My best friend attended a quilting show in KY this week and I had her on the search. We sew together alot, so I was going to trust her judgement if she found a good deal on one.
She actually sewed on 8 thread Babylock, 5 thread Janome, Plaff, an Elna 736 and the Husky S21.
The lady at the Husky booth could not get the serger to sew right.
She liked the Elna the best the first day, and it was the cheapest at $850. I then did a quick internet search of the Elna, but still liked the S25. It offered more stitches, and had more harp room.
The next day she found out about a company in Portland OR. who had all their Husky sewing machines on sell.
They were able to teach her to thread it, change over to cover stitch, and how to use it.
She was sold, so I had her order me one.
I don't get any lessons, except what my friend will teach me, but they offer free phone support and free shipping back to them if needed.
They shipped mine out Friday, so I should get it Tuesday or Wed.
Hi you sergers; What is your take on the Singer Serger on sale at Viking Dealer? Our Dealership carries higher end Singer sm. What I know about sergers would fit in a small thimble. ....They scare me....but I know they can add alot to edging techniques.
Thanks for the input.
------The Girls... Baby & Mittee girl >^,,^<
Here comes the big 60! OH MY!
The sewing workers are:
Hello Kitty Kate (green), Hello Kitty Valerie (computerized), Dottie Kenmore, Bubba Kenmore the traveler,has case does travel.
Be still and Know that I AM God +
Hi TGMwith thekittys,
I just bought my first serger, the Viking S25 after doing alot of reserch, so I am no expert by any means!
I do know that I did not see any good reviews on any of the Singers Sergers. The Brothers had better reviews than the Singers.
You may want to "Start a new Topic" and ask for advice on Singer Sergers.
Most are going to say the Babylocks are the best, and they may be, but they cost a small pot of gold!
Good Luck!
HI TGM! What is it with this dealers, in small towns only offer the top of the line models? And what might carry the Babylock, has rights to carry the Viking line, but according to them they have nothing but problems!So they offer 1 model(Yet they are the dealer) and after trying the Babylock everything else seems like a joke. Reminds me of car dealerships, how in some towns Ford and Chevy are sold under the same dealer yet God Forbid--not in Detroit! Did you know that there is an actual Blue Book for Sewing and Serger Machines?That blew me away .Yes miles are a big factor on their net worth-- or Blue Book Value.
Sue did you get your Viking yet?? I'm still waiting " The Aboxlover" ! Claims his son got strep throat and was in the hospital for a whole week. If it doesn't arrive by this weekend EBAY is definitely going to hear about it. I just bought a bunch of thread from Atlanta Thread & Supply Co. on sale for $1.73. I stuck with neutrals and a couple of colors that I normally use. I guess it's better to buy bobbins and use them in the needle position because they use the least amount of thread. Better than buying 4 or 5 cones of every color! I wish I knew if it took normal needles or what, but no one seems to know. Though I've read some place Viking takes different Did you get yours yet?? Too bad about the lessons, but at least you got a friend which IMOP is mo bettah!I found someone here on this site who lives about as mile away from me. I can't wait to meet her. Happy sewing!
Hi Skooze!
My serger came last week, but have not had time to get it out yet.
If yours does not come this week, I would cancel the order, the place I got mine still has some for sale and you can give them credit card info over the phone and they also have listed a couple on ebay, they had one with $899 starting bid, and no one bid on it!!
I actually broke real "BAD" last week and bought me a new Bernina 730 sewing and embroidery machine!!!!
I am blaming it on this web site because I had never heard of a Bernina until I started reading on this site!!!
I picked it up today, but I haven't got my "new sewing" room cleaned up -and -out with the junk I've been stashing in there for years!
I hope to get everything set up this weekend and start sewing!!
I will let you know how it goes!
Let me know if you want the number from the place I bought mine.
PS: I just opened the small box that came with my serger. It had 4 rolls of thread and 10 packs of needles in it! She had told me she would send me a extra pack!
The ones she sent are Schmetz Universal #100/16.
Hope that helps! -- Edited on 5/4/10 0:30 AM --
Are you bad or what?Why the sewing itch now? What's your partner think about this other extra purchase? Mine would'va flipped, but hey I paid all the bills back then and do so now. Do you really need an embroidery machine? Can you learn both machines at the same time? Is this you living your 2nd childhood? You go girl!!
My machine still has not arrived. The guy on EBAY sold 2 more after mine, and they received theirs, but not me
I wish I could cancel, but I'm not allowed. I got a hold of his son today--who gave me his cell #, and he sounds sincere. BUT--first he needed more $$ to ship it, then he waited a week to ship it, then he didn't return my emails or calls, and when I got a hold of him tonight, he was going to send me a picture email of the delivery confirm # and the tracking # & didn't & was going on vacation for a week--UUrgggghhh. Sounds fishy to me. So I had to protect myself and put a case out on him with EBAY. It sounds like it's the PO problem but he just doesn't add up. I've used my month up with the library books, my serger thread etc, delivered.
Anyhow, if I ever get my money back I definitely will look you up to where you bought your S 25! How is the new gem doing by the way? Have you had any problems? What feet did it come with? I bet you're busy as a bee sewing on either machine. Can't blame you though. Have fun and I may just PM you in a couple of weeks. Aloha Skooze

Gov. Chris Christie has asked the Department of Commerce to declare a fishery resource disaster for the states fishing industry after superstorm Sandy slammed the coast.
Christie called the fishing industry a defining element of the Jersey Shore and an essential component of the states coastal economy and recreational activity. The commercial industry, the governor said, generated $1.3 billion in revenue in 2011, and the recreational sector generated 8,500 jobs and $1.4 billion in overall economic activity.
I have personally seen significant damage and destruction suffered by the industry, including losses to offices, warehouses, vessels, shellfish, aquaculture facilities and equipment, Christie said Tuesday. He said the declaration will help the industry obtain immediate disaster assistance.
Were very appreciative of what Christie is doing and what the New Jersey delegation has done for the industry, said Greg DiDomenico, executive director of the Garden State Seafood Association.
DiDomenico said the commercial fishing industry has taken some significant short-term hits such as the loss of dockside revenue due to boats being tied at the dock and they are trying to minimize the long-term economic effects.
DiDomenico said Belford was hit the worst and suffered the most structural damage.
We need help in the form of financial assistance to rebuild, DiDomenico said.
Chris Zeman, the New Jersey representative to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, said there was also widespread destruction to the fundamental shore-side infrastructure upon which recreational fishermen rely.
Its a huge industry, Zeman said. Piers, marinas, beach access trails, boat ramps, boats, tackle shops, and docks are seriously damaged or just completely gone. Rather than fishing, fishermen are removing debris from bays and hauling boats from far inland.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg and Rep. Frank Pallone also sought Department of Commerce assistance for the New Jersey fishing industry.
Declaring a federal fishery resources disaster for the state is a critical step to the economic redevelopment that will be necessary in the coming months to re-establish this significant part of the states economy and culture, Lautenberg said.

WASHINGTON (May 1, 2013)--Scientists say they have found the first solid archaeological evidence that some of the earliest American colonists survived when conditions were harsh and food was scarce by resorting to cannibalism.
On Wednesday, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and archaeologists from Jamestown announced the discovery of the bones of a 14-year-old girl with clear signs that she was cannibalized.
The human remains date back to the deadly winter of 1609-1610, which was known as the "starving time" in Jamestown, when hundreds of colonists died.
Scientists say said the settlers arrived from England during the worst drought in 800 years.
For years, there were been unconfirmed tales of starving early colonists resorting to eating dogs, mice, snakes, shoe leather and even their own dead.

The Environmental Industry Associations (EIA) has honoured Advanced Disposal of Decatur, Illinois with its Community Changemakers distinction for helping the city clear an illegal dump site at no charge.
The Environmental Industry Associations (EIA) has honoured Advanced Disposal of Decatur, Illinois with its Community Changemakers distinction for helping the city clear an illegal dump site at no charge.
"The selflessness and community solidarity displayed by Advanced Disposal are the type of traits we seek to honor with our Community Changemakers program," said EIA president and CEO Sharon Kneiss in a July 11, 2013 statement to media.
Decatur approached Advanced Disposal Area Manager Christopher Rooney in early 2013 after it discovered an alleyway near Oakland Avenue where residents had illegally dumped more than 250 tonnes of garbage. Clearing the site would have cost the city more than $15,000 it had not budgeted for waste removal.
"Advanced Disposal has a strong commitment to the communities we serve and in helping to keep them clean and green. This project fits very nicely into that objective," said Rooney. "The managers took some time out of their day to go help and operate the equipment and make it happen."
Advanced Disposal worked with heavy equipment loaned by Altorfer Inc. in nearby Springfield, Ill., to haul and dispose of the garbage. The Norfolk Southern railroad also provided support. Rooney said managers rotated through the project, with one manager, Ken Wuehler, taking the lead. It took about four days for workers to clear the illegal dumpsite.
"Those of us in the solid waste industry work very hard to do our job in a safe and environmentally friendly manner," Rooney said. "We live in the communities where we work and take a great deal of personal pride in what we do. We work hard every day to make a difference, and to be recognized by our national association is very special."
Through its Community Changemakers program, EIA recognizes companies and individuals in America's waste and recycling industry who are making notable impacts through new innovations and advancements in waste management, recycling, environmental protection and other related activities—achievements that go above and beyond the call of duty. EIA Community Changemakers are leaders and role models in their communities. For more information about the program, please click here.

Apple rejects Internet radio recording app for iPhone
updated 10:40 pm EDT, Thu March 25, 2010
Three similar titles still available on App Store
The German developer Vemedio has voiced frustration with Apple, following the rejection of a radio recording app submitted to the App Store. The software, an iPhone version of the desktop title Snowtape, allows users to record and share audio streams from Internet radio sources.
While it is not surprising that Apple would reject an app that essentially allows users to violate copyrights by sharing MP3 tracks gleaned from Internet radio feeds, the developer has criticized the company for failing to cite specific terms in the iPhone SDK which prohibit such functionality.
Vemedio was allegedly contacted by Steve Rea of iPhone Developer Relations to provide reasons for the rejection. Rea reportedly said Snowtape could not be approved because it permanently stores Internet radio content locally on an iPhone or iPod touch, while the integrated sharing feature is also prohibited.
"Of course I tried to asked him about the paragraph in the iPhone Developer SDK agreement we are violating," said Vemedio developer Martin Hering. "His sole words were, that there are lots of things missing in the SDK agreement and that they can not foresee [every] circumstance that leads to a denial of an app."
Although Hering compares his company's app to several other App Store titles, such as FStream and TuneIn Radio, that allow users to record Internet radio for later playback, Snowtape clearly provides a different level of recording ability. While the approved apps simply record the entire stream, including commercials, Vemedio automatically separates each track, adds ID3v2 tags, and even finds album art.
Vemedio also goes one step further with its sharing functionality, automatically uploading each MP3 to a server and pairing it with a unique URL. Although Vemedio presents this as a way for users to listen to their own recordings on a Mac or PC, the function could presumably allow others to follow the link and download tracks instead of purchasing the content.
"So, is this another sad story about a great app that suffers from an unfair and arbitrary approval process," Hering asks. "I still hope that Apple will come around and really starts a discussion with us about what we can do to get Snowtape approved for sale."

Release Date: 2006 |
Album Rating: 4.5The review was alright, you kidn of went on for a while without talking about the music much at all really.
The lyrics are dumb but everything else kind of makes up for it in droves imo.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffThat's what I do. Did you even read the whole review?
Good review, but I definitley have to second what Iluvatar is saying, though. You kind of went on off-topic rants, sometimes.
Album Rating: 4.5Yes. I'm not saying you didn't talk about the music. You just took longer to do so than usual, even for you. The last half-two thirds was very good. But it took way too long to get into that part.
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffAye, fair enough. It probably does go on too long but I was trying to get a point across about the cyclical nature of pop music and how quickly things change, and what artists have to do to keep up with it. This Message Edited On 09.17.06
I like this review, Mozzy. I think you hit the mark with it. Nipples ftw lol....
I agree with your view of pop music and pop culture, and without pulling the race card because after all music is and should be multicultural, in this instance I simply hear a white boy playing black music and calling it "pop". Timberlake doesn't pay homage to or even imitate well the hip-hop and R&B artist he loves so much, he simply mimics them. And in embarrassingly poor fashion at that. Why anyone would want to listen to this suburban prat do black music so poorly is beyond me. And even when he does well its not on account of him. Its his producers, writers, collaborators like you said. Nothing new in music, but at least the person out front selling it can be real and authentic and not some wanna be riding on the work of others with a pretty face and a few slick dance moves. Timberlake = todays Vanilla Ice. Nothing more. Its nearly comical. And in a music world where you can throw on the latest Prince album or the new OutKast record why anyone would go for this piece of boring white bread is beyond me. This is not even "pop". It pure product. And I ain't buying.
Album Rating: 4.5You take this way too seriously.
nah. i don't. its actually fairly obvious and really simple. This Message Edited On 09.17.06
Album Rating: 4.5No, it's really digging way too deep into a style of music that is really just supposed to be an enjoyable ride. Obviously you'd like there to be innavation, but if its going to be nothing particularly new, this is certainly what you'd want it to be/sound like.
yeah you're right I take this stuff too seriously sometimes :p.
But I have been listening to what is considered "pop" these days. Or perhaps more accurately "ethnic pop". OutKast do a great job. Prince always has. Mariah and Christina, ditto. Even J-Lo. But this guy misses the groove to my ears. I saw him perform some of this live and its just kind of embarassing. Its like American Idol on steroids. I just can't stomach it
/tries to loosen up
Album Rating: 2.5JXD is the coolest person ever.
It's bad enough that his songs are just cheap imitations to me, but the whole image revamping is pathetic, now hes talking smack on Kanye West, and cussing, and saying he "Does Drugs" that just screams poser to me and I flat out dont like people who try to hard without accomplishing much.
From what I've heard of this album (about half of it in my sister's car, which Is way more than i'd like) was about a 2 to me, but I would rate an album I havent fully listened to. I almost want to listen to the whole thing a few times so I can rate it what I knew it would be.
And as for the review: Best review of the album yet.
Your opening paragraph was really neat, I pretty much agreed with everything that you said.
[quote=review]I have to admit, the first time I heard FutureSex/LoveSounds's lead single "SexyBack", I thought it sucked. No, beyond that. I knew. It sucked like [Lance Bass joke].[/quote] Killer review.
I thought this review was spectacular. I enjoyed the first paragraphs as much as the rest, if not more. You have the unique ability to rant about biographical stuff for much longer than anyone else without it becoming dull.
Album Rating: 3.5Brilliant, just brilliant.
This album is cool, I pretty much agree with you on all of it. I don't think I've ever seen a new release with 3 of 3 great reviews. Nice work everyone.
Album Rating: 4.0[quote=review]I have to admit, the first time I heard FutureSex/LoveSounds's lead single "SexyBack", I thought it sucked. No, beyond that. I knew. It sucked like [Lance Bass joke]. Knowing my first impression of that was frighteningly accurate, I feared for the state of the rest of the album. Upon first listen, it was more than disappointing. Fortunately, it does grow, unlike the detestable single. [/quote]Morrissey for de-mod '06. :angry:
p.s. good job as usual, you rock
I just heard My Love. Its surpringly good.
Album Rating: 4.0I don't think the truly horrible lyrics drag the album down as much as you do. And they are horrible in most cases. Maybe I just subconciously ignore them when I have to.
I give the album a 4 out of 5 and your review a B+ out of 7.
:lol: I love morrissey's reviews! I really do think that even good music (and it isn't THAT good here) can be really undermined by cheesy lyrics. The music on 'Justified' was better, IMO
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffAbsolutely fucking GREAT!
One of the most hilarious and clever reviews I've ever read.
Top marks!
Album Rating: 5.0this is the most absurd review ive seen, the song is excellent!! MY FAV OF THE ALBUM there is a reason why this song is named after the album, plus its TONE not TONGUE.. -______-

Call routing
Unlike routing in the fixed network, where a terminal is semi-permanently wired to a central office, a GSM user can roam nationally and even internationally. (With, if needed, a properly enabled handset.) The directory number dialed to reach a mobile subscriber is called the Mobile Subscriber ISDN (MSISDN), which is defined by the E.164 numbering plan. This number includes a country code and a National Destination Code which identifies the subscriber's operator. The first few digits of the remaining subscriber number may identify the subscriber's HLR within the home PLMN.
These abbreviations don't seem uniform with all GSM writers. But all words and phrases point to a Mobile Subscriber ISDN or International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Number. Whatever you call it, the number is made up of three parts:
a.) An International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Number, say, 44510000
b.) The mobile country or network code, MCC, consisting of three digits, say, 310
c.) The national destination code or the mobile network code, MNC. This is a two digit number, say, 68.
I find this subject confusing. Check out this page to see if you understand what is going on:
An incoming mobile terminating call is directed to the Gateway MSC (GMSC) function. The GMSC is basically a switch which is able to interrogate the subscriber's HLR to obtain routing information, and thus contains a table linking MSISDNs to their corresponding HLR. A simplification is to have a GSMC handle one specific PLMN. It should be noted that the GMSC function is distinct from the MSC function, but is usually implemented in an MSC.
PLMN: Public land mobile network. In this context a cellular telephone network. PLMN is chiefly a European useage.
The routing information that is returned to the GMSC is the Mobile Station Roaming Number (MSRN), which is also defined by the E.164 numbering plan. MSRNs are related to the geographical numbering plan, and not assigned to subscribers, nor are they visible to subscribers.
The most general routing procedure begins with the GMSC querying the called subscriber's HLR for an MSRN. The HLR typically stores only the SS7 address of the subscriber's current VLR, and does not have the MSRN (see the location updating section). The HLR must therefore query the subscriber's current VLR, which will temporarily allocate an MSRN from its pool for the call. This MSRN is returned to the HLR and back to the GMSC, which can then route the call to the new MSC. At the new MSC, the IMSI corresponding to the MSRN is looked up, and the mobile is paged in its current location area (see Figure 4).

Pressing Pleasures: Recent Prints by Matt Phillips
September 18 – December 3, 2004
The de Saisset is pleased to present a 15-year survey of prints by Emeryville-based painter and printmaker Matt Phillips. Featuring monoprints, monotypes, linocuts, drypoints, and artist sketchbooks, this exhibition showcases Matt Phillips' ongoing interest in celebrating the pleasures of life (literature, love, food, and travel) in his art. Pressing Pleasures will focus on several of the subjects that have preoccupied Phillips throughout his career: travel scenes, landscapes, still lifes, figure studies. The exhibition will trace how these subjects have developed in his work over the past 15 years.
In an increasingly chaotic world, Matt Phillips' work allows us a moment of peaceful pause—a chance to delight in the simple pleasures of a masterfully placed line and a skillful touch of color. These works encourage us to slow down, savor the pleasures of life, and ultimately indulge in their beauty.
This exhibition is presented in conjunction with two other exhibitions of Matt Phillips' work, The Magician, the Chorus Girl, and Las Vegas at Smith Andersen Editions in Palo Alto (September 8 – October 6, 2004) and Imaginary Gardens at Meyerovich Gallery in San Francisco (September 23 – November 4, 2004). Pressing Pleasures is part of a special program, A Season of Printmaking at the de Saisset, that will feature exhibitions, public programs, and events that highlight the art of printmaking. A Season of Printmaking at the de Saisset will accentuate the de Saisset Museum's collection strength in this area and will provide a showcase for the vitality, importance, and educational potential of the printmaking medium.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Nov 19, 2011
LAST UPDATED: 2:05 a.m. HST, Nov 21, 2011
In the pursuit of bringing rail to our landscape, the state Legislature and city officials have failed to advance the most effective means of traffic relief. This has spawned a lawsuit that stands to derail the current rail project.
How did our government dupe the public into thinking we were to get the best traffic solution available?
It did so via Act 247, Hawaii Session Laws 2005, which included language that any general excise tax increase on Oahu cannot be used for highway technology such as managed lanes, reversible expressways or what we refer to as bus rapid transit.
The state worried that if all forms of transportation technologies were examined, the conclusion would yield the same results as studied by former Mayor Jeremy Harris earlier: that the bus beats rail on all fronts.
That is why our state government acted in bad faith, pretending the tax increase would be about traffic relief when it clearly was not; taxpayers then were forced to pick steel-wheel rail or get nothing at all.
More disturbing is that the federal government subsidizes highway technology by 80 percent, while rail gets, at most, 20 percent. In our economic climate, going with the smaller subsidy and taxing our residents more for a system that moves no goods, services or freight, and is worthless in times of emergency evacuations, makes little sense.
But there is hope. There are other forms of rail transit technologies available to us that can be built without the huge amounts of public subsidies dumped into them, and with the ability to sustain themselves with private investments.
Unfortunately, as things stand now, this means that over the 30 years the GET rail surcharge is levied to build the 34-mile segment, an Oahu family of four will pay almost $27,000 in additional taxes to construct this particular rail system.
In contrast, the monorail and magnetic levitation rail systems could be public-private-partnerships lessening the tax burden significantly.
Since the city cannot put any type of highway solution on the ballot using the GE tax surcharge as a funding mechanism, let's do rail right and get the best system for our island.
If the ballot question were done over and the choices permitted were to include rail systems like the monorail and magnetic levitation, I believe the voter would reject the steel-wheel-on-steel-rail scenario and rather, want a quieter, less-expensive, easier-to-maintain rail system that is more in tune with 21st-century technology.
I authored Resolution 11-328 in an attempt to put on the 2012 ballot a choice for voters to go with superior rail technology and stop this steel-rail plan before it's too late.
However, the resolution was rejected Nov. 2 at the full Council meeting by a 7-2 vote.
There is something inherently wrong with this rail project when the folks who are pitching it do not want the public to weigh in on it any more and do not want to offer the opportunity for voters who are paying for it to change their mind.
I believe we have time to stop this steel-rail ordeal and get a better transit system.
A last-ditch effort to hear everyone out before we make that final plunge will be offered and take place at the Mission Memorial Auditorium on Dec. 6, starting at 6 p.m.
Honolulu deserves to have the opportunity to get a quieter, less-expensive rail system that future generations would be proud of and that our construction unions would be honored to bring to our landscape.
City Councilman Tom Berg represents Oahu's District 1 (Ewa, Kapolei, Waianae).

A New Year's Eve fire destroyed a garage and damaged a South Lebanon Township home, displacing a family of four.
The home owners' son smelled smoke, heard smoke detectors and dialed 911, Avon Citizens Fire Co. Chief Brian Wallace said.
Firefighters were dispatched at 8:49 p.m. and a second alarm was called six minutes later when initial responders found heavy fire coming from the attached garage at 1303 Jill Ann Drive, Wallace said.
"Crews did an aggressive knockdown," Wallace said. "The fire extended into the attic. It got into the crawlspace. The home needs new roof trusses and the garage needs to be rebuilt."
No injuries were reported.
Owners Gary and Judy Troxell and their two children were assisted by the American Red Cross and are staying at an area hotel.
Wallace said the fire started in the garage. A fire marshal determined that the fire was accidental.
Crews were on the scene four and a half hours, Wallace said.
A damage estimate was not available.

After watching this video I found a shortcut
How Much Does it ACTUALLY Cost to Build a House?
Living the American dream is what we are all shooting for. A big house, fancy car and a loving family. But, if you've looked at homes in your neighborhood for sale you've probably noticed that none of them are your dream home. And if one happens to be just as you imagined, it's probably way out of your price range.
What's a guy to do in this situation? I say build your dream home. So, how much does it cost to build a house? Well, that depends. There are many factors that will determine the final cost of your home.
How big will your dream home be? Many online home design calculators use a cost per square foot to determine your building costs. While this may give you a good ballpark figure to start with, there are many other aspects to consider. For example, will you be using high-end materials like marble or wood flooring? Do you want radiant heating, instant hot water or a master suite? All of these features will add to your final price tag.
After you buy plans but before start building, you will need to get permits from your local building department. The building department will look over your dream home plans to verify that the building meets all local codes such as property setbacks, emergency egress, structural requirements, etc. Even though in most states, homes do not need to be designed by a licensed architect, the house plans must meet certain requirements. While you can learn how to draw basic plans online, it would be helpful to hire a professional to guide you through the process.
One of the most popular ways to get a high-quality set of house plans is from online stores that sell already complete plans and specifications. Although you won't be designing a house from scratch, you can look through thousands of plans to find the one that you love. In fact, choosing a set of plans online instead of having new ones design could save you some serious cash.
Next, you'll need to enlist the help of a highly qualified contractor to build your dream home. They will give you a bid to build your home based on the plans and specifications. Unfortunately, the price they quote you won't be the actual cost to build your home. Once they start construction they will likely run into problems or obstacles that they didn't anticipate. When this happens they will send you a bill to fix the problem or purchase additional materials.
Before you start spending money to design and build your own house, remember to set aside money in a contingency fund for any unexpected changes. Even though I would love to tell you that everything will go as you planned, more than likely expensive mistakes will pop up that you will not be prepared for. The best way to get your dream home is to plan for the worst and expect the best.

RelayRides blogger and financial expert, Amanda L. Grossman, shares six resources that will help your small business save money.
It's been said that small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Small businesses account for a decent portion of job growth each year, offer opportunities to keep money within one's own community, and allow people an alternative to the nine to five job.
Yet running a small business is not all about flexible work schedules and skirting the cubicle. I own a small business, and know all too well the constraints involved. Often times you work longer hours than you would when working for someone else, and have fewer resources to reinvest into the business.
Because of this, I am always on the lookout for ways to build and sustain my company for much less than the types of services and products I need typically cost. Let me share five of my money-saving tips to help you save money as well:
Check out the Small Business Administration (SBA)
The SBA is an agency created by the federal government in order to facilitate small businesses. Among other services, the SBA offers free online courses, loans, and other vital information. One thing I have found particularly useful is the free information and template available for writing a business plan.
Get Free Assistance through SCORE
Recently I had a wonderfully helpful experience through SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives). After signing up for a free mentor, I was sent to a legal counselor who was able to talk me through the steps to incorporate within the state of Texas. She also answered my tax questions surrounding changing from a sole proprietorship to a Limited Liability Company (LLC). What a tremendous help and cost savings!
Use a Barter Exchange Service
Typically for an annual fee and a percentage of the value of bartered goods, you can sign your small business up for a barter exchange service. This means that instead of paying for something that you need, you can use your barter currency to get it (gained by bartering you have completed in the past). Sites include NuBarter.com, BarterCard and CommunityConnect Trade. Also, note that you will need to pay taxes on the value of bartered goods. A 1099-B form (Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions form) will be issued to you from these exchanges for the value of your transactions for the year.
Cut Car Rental Costs with P2P Rentals
If you need to travel for your business, you can automatically cut the costs of car rental by using RelayRides.com. This is a Person-to-Person (P2P) rental agency with locations at over 265 airports nationwide. Rental costs are typically 20-40% lower than what you will find from a traditional car rental facility, and there is a lot less hassle.
Get a Free Credit Card Reader for Your Smartphone
Accepting credit cards for purchases of your product has never been easier or cheaper through Square Reader. They will provide you a credit card reader to attach to your smartphone free of charge. Transactions cost 2.75%, and deposits are available the next day.
Make Cash from Your Idle Business Car
Do you have a business car? A great way to bring in some extra cash and offset some of your vehicle ownership costs is to rent your idle vehicle(s) out to local people through RelayRides.com.
I am a firm believer that you can still get the work done and the help that you need no matter what amount of money your business brings in thanks to some of the services discussed above.

Standards-based grading with voice: Listening for students' understanding Documents

Standards-based grading with voice: Listening for students' understanding
written by
Andy Rundquist
Standards-based grading is gaining popularity at the high school level, including physics courses. The basic notion is to give your students a list of objectives upfront that they need to master. Students can reassess often and their final grade is determined solely by their last reassessment on each standard. It is the instructor's job to help students find ways of showing their mastery to you. I implemented this in a junior-level mechanics course where the small numbers allowed me to introduce a novel twist: all assessments had to include the student's voice. This meant that students turned in pencasts, screencasts, and in-person assessments. Several days were also set aside for collaborative oral assessments, where students offered up honest advice and scores were mutually determined. In this paper, I'll share my experience trying out this pedagogical experiment and try to convey how it has improved my own understanding of my students' understanding.

KINGSTON ŌĆö The University of Rhode Island football team isnŌĆÖt making any excuses for what happened during a disastrous 2012 season.
The Rams went winless in 2012 and aside from a 10-point loss in the GovernorŌĆÖs Cup game against Brown, URI wasnŌĆÖt competitive. The Rams allowed at least 30 points in nine of 11 games and only crossed the 20-point mark twice as URI went winless for the first time since Harry Truman was president.
ŌĆ£It was such a crazy year because it wasnŌĆÖt like the kids were underperforming, we just werenŌĆÖt very good and there were a lot of reasons for it,ŌĆØ URI coach Joe Trainer said. ŌĆ£We had 45 and a half scholarships in a conference where everyone was playing with 63. ThereŌĆÖs no excuses for poor performance, but I couldnŌĆÖt get despondent.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I think we had talented guys last year, but when one went down we didnŌĆÖt have much depth behind them,ŌĆØ senior quarterback Bob Bentsen said. ŌĆ£I feel like thatŌĆÖs changed this year.ŌĆØ
And the Rams arenŌĆÖt going to make excuses this year. Trainer said the team, which was working its way down to 30 scholarships because of a planned move to the Northeast Conference, is now back up to 60 after athletic director Thorr Bjorn decided the team was staying put in the ultra-competitive Colonial Athletic Association.
The extra scholarships, along with the return of defensive standouts Doug Johnson and Dave Zocco have the Rams believing wins wonŌĆÖt be an endangered species in Kingston this fall.
ŌĆ£I feel like weŌĆÖre a different group than last year,ŌĆØ senior offensive lineman Andrew Belizaire said. ŌĆ£Last year we were inexperienced and we had a bunch of young guys playing. The good thing about last year was a lot of young guys played. Across the board we have a lot more depth. As long as everyone stays healthy we should be good.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Honestly, weŌĆÖve been working since January for this year,ŌĆØ Johnson said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre more of a team. You donŌĆÖt see kids walking into practice one by one, you see groups coming in together. You canŌĆÖt just win with one person, you have to win with the 22 people that are playing. You have to play as a team and everyone has to do their responsibility.ŌĆØ
Trainer believes the 2013 team can be like the one he coached during his second year in Kingston, the 2010 team which was coming off a season in 2009 when it won the first game of the season against Fordham and proceeded to lose the final 10 games.
In 2010, a team led by linebacker Matt Hansen, defensive end Victor Adesanya and Jarrod Williams won five games and finished an impressive 4-4 in the Colonial.
With seniors like Bentsen, James Timmins, Johnson, Belizaire, Zocco, Justin Favreau and Josh Moody leading the way, Trainer believes the team has the talent and leadership to be competitive.
ŌĆ£That was my first year here and we had some great leadership here,ŌĆØ Timmins said of 2010. ŌĆ£I feel like the seniors we have now are ready to go and provide leadership. I donŌĆÖt see why we canŌĆÖt do what they did.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I think they can do that,ŌĆØ Trainer said. ŌĆ£There are some guys here who have strong personalities, which is always a positive in football. I think guys like Moody, Timmins and Zocco and a lot of these guys ŌĆō I know it seems like a long time agoŌĆō played on a 4-4 team in the CAA. ThereŌĆÖs a ton of pride in this group.ŌĆØ
Pride and leadership are great buzzwords for the Rams to use this season, but if the squad is going to pick up its first win since 2010, the offense and defense are clearly going to have to improve on last season.
WarwickŌĆÖs Bentsen is back under center for the third season and heŌĆÖs looking to improve on a 2012 where he dropped back nearly every snap knowing the defense was coming for him. Because the Rams didnŌĆÖt have a running game and because URI was often behind by multiple touchdowns, defenses played URI to pass.
Bentsen threw for 1,553 yards to go along with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also finished second on the team in rushing with 226 yards. Only Jordan Sebastian, who had paltry 291 yards in 11 games, rushed for more yards than Bentsen out of URIŌĆÖs zone-read attack. URI only ran for five touchdowns.
ŌĆ£We want to go fast,ŌĆØ Bentsen said. ŌĆ£Once we start going thatŌĆÖs when we are at our best. We talk about it all the time, but our motto is P-and-10. On the first play of the possession you have to move the ball and get four yards. We have to move and get the tempo up a little bit.ŌĆØ
URI should have an easier time moving the ball early in drives thanks to three solid running backs. Sebastian and East ProvidenceŌĆÖs Rob Delgado are both back to go along with Miami of Ohio transfer Justin Semmes, who is trying to work through a hamstring injury.
Semmes, who is a graduate student, carried the ball for 228 yards during his three seasons in the FBS. Semmes hopes to help URI earn more than the 48 first downs it earned on the ground last year.
ŌĆ£I think the running backs have done a great job,ŌĆØ Bentsen said. ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre really impressing me. TheyŌĆÖve gotten bigger and stronger and older with the addition of Semmes. IŌĆÖm excited to see what they can do with the ball.ŌĆØ
BentsenŌĆÖs three favorite targets from last season have all graduated, but Robbie Jackson (18 catches for 145 yards) will be joined by Jawaun Wynn, Wayne Seaton and Ross Kim to form a solid receiving corps. West WarwickŌĆÖs Elijah Saintfleur and Andrew Siden will see plenty of time at tight end.
Belizaire, who is one of two URI offensive linemen to play in all 11 games last year, will anchor the line along with Andrew Kestenbaum. Kevin Muster, Tyler Catalina and Jeff Kennedy will also be key contributors to the line.
ŌĆ£Our offense is only disruptive when the chains are moving,ŌĆØ Trainer said. ŌĆ£HereŌĆÖs the thing, none of us did well last year and Bob would be the first to admit it. Bob didnŌĆÖt have a great supporting cast around him, but I think everyone has gotten better.ŌĆØ
While the offense was short on talent last year, the defense ended up being short on bodies after two of the most influential players couldnŌĆÖt play a meaningful part in the season. Zocco, an all-conference linebacker in 2011, didnŌĆÖt play a single down last year, while Johnson only played three games.
Without Johnson and Zocco the defense put up ugly numbers. URI allowed teams to average 233.5 yards per a game on the ground and teams scored 31 rushing touchdowns. Through the air URI only picked off two of 332 pass attempts. Teams averaged 6.9 yards per play against the Rams.
ŌĆ£Two years ago Zocco and Doug Johnson were on preseason All-American lists,ŌĆØ Trainer said. ŌĆ£The other thing thatŌĆÖs nice is I think we are seven or eight deep on the defensive line, so we can start to rotate guys, which we couldnŌĆÖt do last year.ŌĆØ
Both players are back healthy this year and both expect to have big years. Johnson came to URI as a linebacker and was an all-conference pick in 2011, but he is moving to safety for his senior year to take advantage of his size and athleticism.
ŌĆ£Obviously I canŌĆÖt be as aggressive on running plays because I have some pass responsibilities,ŌĆØ Johnson said. ŌĆ£I like the role, it should be fun. I think I will have a better vision of plays and I can make better decisions.ŌĆØ
Trainer believes with Zocco and all-CAA selection Andrew Bose on the field, URI has the best starting linebackers in the conference. Johnson will join Jamaal Bess, Mackenzie Elliott, Donovan Walker, Tyrone Jenkins and Tarik Pusey in a revamped defensive backfield.
The defensive line should be littered with battle-tested veterans. Timmins, who led the team with three sacks in 2012, will be joined in the starting lineup by Shomari Watts and Josh Moody. Trainer said he will also rotate JohnstonŌĆÖs Greg Doutre, Mike Ezirike, NarragansettŌĆÖs Mark Murphy and Mike Rinaldi into the defense.
ŌĆ£We have speed everywhere you look,ŌĆØ Timmins said. ŌĆ£We have Doug, Zocco and Bose back and those three guys can basically cover the whole field. WeŌĆÖre going to be fast on the defensive line, so this defense is going to be about speed.ŌĆØ
Trainer said kicker Dylan Smith was one of the teamŌĆÖs most valuable players last year after the junior from New Jersey made five of seven field goals and 10 of 11 extra points. Smith started training camp slow, missing his first extra point in the opening scrimmage, but Trainer believes he will be one of the teamŌĆÖs key performers.
ŌĆ£Over the last seven or eight days I think heŌĆÖs done a pretty good job,ŌĆØ Trainer said.
The other key players on special teams will be new as Rutgers transfer Anthony DiPaula will take over for defensive back Tim Wienclaw at punter. Wienclaw averaged 37.7 yards on 66 punts last year.
The Rams will also be starting a new kick returner and punt returner after the graduation of all-purpose threats Brandon Johnson-Farrell and Billy Morgan.
ŌĆ£Nobody spends more time on special teams than us,ŌĆØ Trainer said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre going to be aggressive. To me, special teams took the biggest drop because guys who shouldŌĆÖve been on those teams were playing more than they shouldŌĆÖve been because of injuries.ŌĆØ
For the first time since Darren RizziŌĆÖs lone year in charge in 2008, the Rams will play 12 games. The campaign starts Thursday at Fordham before the Rams return home to face Stony Brook on Saturday, Sept. 7
The CAA season starts a week later against conference neophyte Albany, which will be christening its new stadium when the Rams visit for a 7:00 p.m. start on Sept. 14. The annual GovernorŌĆÖs Cup game with Brown will take place on Oct. 5 at 6:00 p.m. at Brown Stadium.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre hungry,ŌĆØ Trainer said. ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt quantify it, but weŌĆÖve done everything we can to give ourselves a chance to be successful; this season.ŌĆØ

Represents an approval request for a Contract.
describeSObjects(), query(), retrieve()
This object allows client applications to programmatically handle approval requests for a Contract. Initially, to request a Contract approval, a client application might create a new Approval request record, specifying the ParentId, OwnerId (user approving or rejecting the request), Status (Pending), and (optionally) RequestComment fields. Note that when a client application creates the first approval request, if the value of the Contract Status field is Draft, then the Approval Status for this record is automatically changed to In Approval Process (see ContractStatus for more information).
A client application might subsequently update an existing Approval request, specifying the Status (Approved or Rejected) and an ApproveComment (required); the RequestComment field can't be updated. Updating an Approval record (either to approve or reject) requires the client application to be logged in with "Approve Contract" permission. To update an Approval request, its Status must be Pending—a client application can't update an Approval that has already been Approved or Rejected. To re-submit an approval request for a given Contract, a client application must create a new, separate Approval record and repeat the approval process.
Once a Contract has been approved (not rejected), the Contract LastApprovedDate field is automatically updated, however the Contract Status field isn't updated, it keeps the value InApproval.
An approved Contract must be activated explicitly. Client applications can activate a Contract by setting the value in its Status field to Activated, or a User can activate a Contract via the Salesforce user interface.
A Contract can have multiple approval requests in various states (Pending, Approved, and Rejected). In addition, one User can have multiple approval requests associated with the same Contract.
Client applications can't explicitly deleteApproval records. Approval records are deleted automatically if the parent Contract is deleted.
