Lawmakers Ponder New Redistricting MethodsAfter a second consecutive redistricting session fell apart Thursday and the Legislature went home yet again without passing a map, lawmakers' message was more or less: We told you so.
Senate Defeats Redistricting Map; Session CrashesA last-ditch effort to keep the courts from drawing state Senate districts collapsed Thursday, as senators voted down a plan proposed by the House and a special session called to draw the lines crashed to an end.
House Tosses Revamped Redistricting Plan Back To SenateHouse lawmakers voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to approve a redistricting plan for the state Senate, setting up the delicate endgame for a three-week special session called to finally bring Florida's political boundaries into line with a voter-approved ban on gerrymandering.
House Redistricting Lines Veer Away From Senate PlanThe House redistricting committee voted along party lines Monday to approve its version of new districts for the state Senate, potentially setting up a battle with the upper chamber as a special session on the map entered its final week.
Senate Changes Map Amid Miami-Dade QuestionsThe political realities of redistricting burst into the open Tuesday, as the Senate approved a proposal increasing the Hispanic share of three of the chamber's South Florida seats over objections from Democrats who argued the move was an attempt to prevent incumbents from running against each other.
Senators Joust Over Maps Ahead Of Key VoteOne day before a high-stakes committee meeting, there were few signs Thursday that state senators were any closer to agreement on how the chamber's 40 districts should be drawn or numbered to comply with a voter-approved constitutional amendment banning political gerrymandering.
Chairman Releases Redistricting Plan Amid Numbers ControversyThe chairman of the state Senate committee charged with redrawing districts for the 40-member chamber released his proposed draft of the map late Wednesday, as Republican discontent with a plan for whether and when members would have to run for re-election continued to brew.
It's Map-Drawing Time Again For Florida LegislatorsIf only it was as simple as "X" marks the spot. Because if it was, the Florida Legislature wouldn't have to meet for the third special session of the year to draw up new maps for 40 state Senate districts.
Legislative Lawyers Blast Map Recommended By JudgeHouse and Senate lawyers tore into the map a Leon County judge recommended the state use in the 2016 congressional elections, arguing that the Florida Supreme Court should instead go with one of three plans submitted by lawmakers.
Draft Senate Maps Released As Special Session LoomsThe Legislature on Wednesday released six draft maps of Senate districts for a special session that begins next week, opening up the next phase of a long-running battle over Florida's congressional and legislative lines.
House Map-Drawers Defend Congressional DistrictsLegislative aides who drew a map of congressional districts backed by the state House defended the plan in court Thursday, even as they conceded that other alternatives might also be good maps or have positive qualities.
'Fair Districts' Supporters Consulted Democrats On MapsAfter successfully arguing that a congressional map drawn by the Legislature impermissibly favored Republicans, voting-rights groups and voters have offered four sets of proposed districts that were discussed with Democratic-leaning consultants, according to court papers filed Tuesday.

Patience at the Plate Is a Virtue for the Mets
Daniel Murphy admits that he gave away too many at-bats last season. He flailed at too many balls just off the corner instead of letting them pass by. He punched too many weak grounders on tough pitches instead of battling to slap them foul.
On the surface, it doesn't seem like Murphy's exuberance at the plate hurt him much. He hit .320 and reached base more than 36% of the time. Among National League players with at least 400 plate appearances, only three finished with a better batting average.
But instead of resting on Murphy's success, the Mets focused on different statistics: his 24 measly walks, his 51 one-pitch at-bats. If he could improve his selectiveness, his numbers would only get better. And this philosophy didn't just apply to Murphy—but to the entire team.
Under the tutelage of second-year hitting coach Dave Hudgens, the Mets spent the spring preaching patience to its young—and aggressive—lineup. So far, the message stuck. In their first three games of the season, the Mets saw 4.02 pitches per plate appearance, good enough for third in all of baseball. Last year, they ranked 20th in this category at 3.79.
Perhaps not coincidentally, the Mets won all three games.
"It's a team-wide philosophy," Murphy said. "Get something you can handle, get something you can split a gap with."
Murphy appeared to embrace the strategy. He saw 4.57 pitches per plate appearance during the Mets' sweep of Atlanta, after averaging 3.73 pitches per plate appearances a year ago. Murphy began the year 5 for 13 with three doubles.
First baseman Ike Davis, despite not recording a hit in the series, entered Monday second in the NL with 4.92 pitches per plate appearances.
"Hit early in the count only to your strengths," outfielder Scott Hairston said, when asked to describe Hudgens's teachings. "If the first pitch you see is on the outside corner, and your strength is inside, you don't want to go after that pitch."
This approach helps the lineup in a variety of ways. Taking more balls generates more walks, which in turn leads to base runners and, ultimately, runs. Fouling off difficult pitches makes it more likely that a pitcher will make a mistake and leave one in a place the hitter can drive.
Case in point: All five of Murphy's hits this season came on the fourth pitch of the at-bat or later. His crucial two-run double in the fifth inning Sunday came on the sixth pitch after he worked the count full.
"Eventually, the more pitches you see, you'll do a better job of picking up rotation and picking up pitch selection," Mets manager Terry Collins said.
Perhaps equally important, selectiveness at the plate drives up the starter's pitch count, forcing opposing teams to turn to their often lackluster bullpens in the middle innings.
Pitcher Dillon Gee said the Mets instruct their starters to strive to retire batters on three pitches or fewer. The three Braves starters—Tommy Hanson, Jair Jurrjens and Mike Minor—averaged 4.25 pitches per hitter. None of the three managed to record an out in the sixth inning, all exiting early because of a high pitch count.
Watching his teammates hit over the past few days reminded Gee of a game he pitched in last May against the Nationals, the Mets' opponent this week. On that day, Roger Bernadina led off with a 13-pitch at-bat, which took an early toll on Gee's energy.
"It's frustrating when they're not chasing the balls you want them to chase," Gee said. "It wears you down."
Playing in the same division as guys like Philadelphia's Roy Halladay and Miami's Josh Johnson means the Mets will inevitably face plenty of elite starting pitchers this year. On Wednesday, Washington plans to send phenom Stephen Strasburg to the Citi Field mound.
If the Mets can continue to pester pitchers, they will see less of the aces and more of the pitchers they want to attack—a wave of marginal middle relievers.
"It's always nice to get into a team's bullpen," Murphy said.

The Turkish Aegean Coast region
This area is better know as The Turquoise Coast used to talk about the area of southwest Turkey encompassing Antalya, Mugla and Aydin, southern Izmir and western Mersin.
The combination of a beautiful climate, warm sea, more than a thousand kilometres of shoreline along the Aegean and Mediterranean waters, and abundant natural and archaeological points of interest makes this stretch of Turkey's coastline a popular national and international tourist destination.
Ovacik located on the road from Fethiye to Oludeniz is a great holiday base which gives easy access to the attractions of this area of Turkey. A quiet location set at the foot of the surrounding mountains and pine forests.
There are a few small quality restaurants and bars which are ideal for a relaxing night out. If you want a quiet holiday where you can totally unwind then Ovacik is the ideal place.
For a more lively night out the adjoining resort of Hisaronu is only ten minutes walk away. Hisaronu has a totally different character with its lively bars and nightclubs also live music along with Turkish Bars and Restaurants.
Ovacik is altogether quieter and more rural with splendid views of the surrounding pine clad mountains. The air here is usually cooler and fresher than at sea level, which can be very welcome at the height of the summer.
Olu Deniz is a small resort in Turkey that lies on the South West coast on the Aegean Sea. Surrounding Olu Deniz is the Babadag Mountain and this town is well known for being a beach resort.
When visiting the Olu Deniz resort, you will be welcomed by the blue lagoon which is famous for being one of the most photographed beaches in the Mediterranean. The secluded sandy beaches are perfect for planning a resort getaway. The gorgeous blue lagoon is a nature reserve and there is absolutely no building allowed.
You will be in awe at the beautiful colours of turquoise and aquamarine that this resort is known for. The resort itself is rated among the top 5 beaches and resorts by travellers who have travelled to the resort and by journalists who have attended this resort previously.

Alternate title: Deadly Film, Lethal Film
This horror feature send-up concerns an actor/director (Etienne Glaser) trying to talk his two female employers into letting his crew shoot a film about real people. The crew plays practical jokes that involve severed limbs and lots of blood in this tongue-in-cheek look at the horror film-factory that exposes the colorful carnage. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

The Boston Globe has a tiresome article about how drug dealers (generally of heroin) travel to Vermont and trade drugs for guns. Naturally, the problem must be the cheap supply of heroin in Massachusetts. Oh, sorry, I mean the cheap and easy supply of guns in Vermont. From the Boston Globe:
The intersection of guns and drugs is spawning a wide range of related crimes, Mostyn said. Firearms are being stolen in Vermont and then exchanged for some of the more than $2 million in heroin and other opiates that flood Vermont every week, officials said. And addicts desperate for a daily fix are stealing from their families and strangers to pay for it.
[ . . . ]
A task force of local police, ATF agents, and State Police has been assembled in Western Massachusetts to combat problems posed by guns and drugs. John Rosenthal, cofounder of the Newton-based Stop Handgun Violence, said the task force's work would be helped by national, mandatory background checks on all gun sales.
That's right, John, those drug addicts will steal a gun and then waltz over to the nearest police station for a background check.

I agree that this is sub-optimal in principle. When I fixed some of close :abort t behaviour I looked at dealing with this too, but it turns out to be (a) painfull (b) bad if your files are BIG, as the space used up by the old file cannot be reclaimed before writing the new one is finished. Luckily, there is a solution that suits your needs: :if-exists :rename-and-delete With that SBCL (and other conformant lisps, IMO) should restore the original in case of an abnormal exist, and delete it otherwise. The way I see it, there is a usefull distinction between the two: supeseding will allow the old space to be reclaimed before writing the new file is finished.

Originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s, the Stanford marshmallow test has become a touchstone of developmental psychology. Children at Stanford's Bing Nursery School, aged four to six, were placed in a room furnished only with a table and chair. A single treat, selected by the child, was placed on the table. (In addition to marshmallows, the researchers also offered Oreo cookies and pretzel sticks.) Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room.
Follow-up studies with the children later in adolescence showed a correlation between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of life success, such as higher SAT scores. And a 2011 fMRI study conducted on 59 original participants—now in their 40s—by Cornell's B.J. Casey showed higher levels…

I've never been short-listed for anything before, so getting short-listed for the Purita Kalaw-Ledesma prize was an honor. After not making it, I felt that it was enough just getting to that point, but I also suspected that I was using those same time-honored defense mechanisms that often come with admitted loss.

I incline to agree with her. But there was exactly one thing that was different about this.
I am not going to tell the full story, yet, but one of Purita Kalaw-Ledesma's daughters helped me and my mom a long time ago, when I was much younger. I was a patient. All I can say is, what she did halted what could have been a derailment of sorts.
My mom introduced me to her after nearly 30 years tonight.
That was reward enough: to see that a former patient made good long after the story ended.
I'll worry about the rest of my life after this weekend.
I have not been posting here for some time, again. Here's what happened after the last post.
1. I was invited to attend the launch of a new coffee table book looking back at the life and work of Romulo Olazo at the Ayala Museum. The book includes some of his most famous pieces, including the series of Diaphanous and Permutation abstract paintings, and was launched at a PHP 700 price. This volume was launched on the occasion of Olazo's 80th birthday, so it was definitely a party through and through, complete with the family song number. As with many of these evenings, it was a chance to meet some people I rarely get to see, and I was happy for it.
2. On a brief music note, I spent the second-to-the last Saturday of July at the Ayala Museum to catch not only the museum's biggest "open day" ever, but also to see some acts I rarely get to see–the ones from Terno–due to increasingly busy schedules. The last weekend of July also featured lots of music and things besides. I got to hear Ryan Cayabyab's score for La Revolucion Filipina, which led to a brief discussion on Mabini and the reliability of autobiographies as sources over drinks. Then I caught two dance performances at the PETA Theater Center which were quite interesting (though the Japanese one bears some reflection for another time). Finally I paid a visit to UP Town Center for UP Underground's Tula, Kanta, Kape. I managed to catch someone whose track ended up on the Vandals Top 25 Tracks (So Far) list. (Look for #19.) I also caught a band who played a song which just turned 30 this year, making it much older than many of those who were watching that early evening.
Honestly, I haven't been going out that much. Which is good.
3. The biggest highlight of these last few weeks was my first film project pitch at the Manila Film Financing Forum. I am not going to announce exactly what this film is, yet, because it will take me a while to assume it's time to do that. For now, I can say that it is a documentary, and there will be lots of music involved. However, I enjoyed meeting with fellow filmmakers and people who are interested in backing a great project (or two). I am hoping to see some of these films get made, mine included, because I will be happy to say that I was there when these were just great ideas about to take off.
Here's our batch photo (courtesy of Melai Entuna, who was Shift's associate producer).
Well, have a great week ahead!
My track of the week is basically in honor of some news I got concerning this singer. This is the carrier single from Vienna Teng's 2013 record Aims, and it's called "Level Up."
The news? Well, she's coming to Manila on August 18. I will leave it to you, dear reader, to find out from her official site where it is.
There are some things I am prepared to share here that are too personal. The original version named her, and probably three other people I know. This version has been redacted. The essay is in honor of the team behind Scout Magazine whose launch event yesterday provoked these reflections.
Some of the paths on which I walk all lead back to a summer class 20 years ago.
When I was in high school (and I understand it is still around), Ateneo's high school had what is called the Summer Enrichment Program. It often gained the nickname of "Soiree Everyday Program" in honor of the fact that most students came from private single-sex schools and hence it was a chance for them to interact outside those organized parties of that name. And most of the classes were, in many ways, academic. These helped kids gain a leg-up in high school subjects, all in an environment that was, in many ways, fun.
There were a few non-academic classes, though. After barely surviving my first year in high school, I persuaded my folks to sign me up for a class called "Leadership Training." I no longer remember exactly why I chose to sign up for this class, but I do recall a few things. First, it turned out to anticipate my later years as a psychology student. Second, it was the first and only time I ever treated my classmates to a birthday party. Third, it was one of the smallest classes I ever had in school up to that point. And fourth, there was a person who turned out to be one of my first female friends since grade school.
She was the younger sister of someone I already knew from my first year class. She was just about to enter high school at Philippine Science High School's main campus. I still have a faint memory of her face from back then, and probably a few other memories. We were both very articulate people and I recall feeling comfortable around her. I recall that we had four other people, three of whom I have met over the last few months. One of them became one of my most loyal friends in college (and up to now). Two of them were cousins and were connected to someone famous (or infamous, depending on one's views). We had another young woman in class, whose name I forgot.
When I mentioned that this class anticipated my time as a psychology major, it was because a lot of it drew from the kind of methods I learned in a class on group processes and the inductive method. I can still vaguely remember that most of what we did were the sort of thing my friend from college and I would later do as psychology majors in that class. What I also vaguely remembered was that when the girl and I were pretty much on the same wavelength, it led to quite a bit of ribbing from my classmates.
We didn't particularly take kindly to the ribbing, mainly because both of us saw each other as friends. But it was hard to ignore the feeling that she made my heart skip a beat, for a while. Those were the hormones speaking. Otherwise, if one pressed me further at that time, my crush that summer was one of my neighbors, who was then an incoming sophomore at PSHS herself. Back then, the whole idea that those sorts of things could easily occupy discrete slots was kind of impossible.
However, long after the six of us parted ways, I wondered about her. In a way, she was as mysterious to me when I first met her and then became, for a time, good friends. I asked her sister about her, and I probably spoke with her once on the phone after she entered high school. And then, probably not long after that, I forgot about her.
Almost. In some way, my time with that young woman left an impression on me I could not shake. It convinced me, and still does, that it is possible to find someone with whom we could have nice conversations and be fine about it. And probably, if we were together long enough, go through rough patches and learn from it. Since then, I have had glimpses of that possibility coming to life, little ones. Nothing like that summer. But it does not really matter. I somehow let go of it.
The last time I met her was in late 2006. I was working for a start-up and it was challenging. I do not recall exactly how she got in touch with me again, but she did. We ended up having dinner together. It turned out that, apart from catching up, she wanted to sell me something. I was not really willing to buy. But I did learn one thing: she liked the Goo Goo Dolls. And I did feel my heart skip a beat, for once. Since then, I have not heard a word from her.
So how did this brief encounter lead to where I am now?
A. came to mind this morning after I was at the Scout Magazine launch at SM Aura's Samsung Hall last night. She was connected with two musicians I knew. One of them played in a band that night. The band has a lovely song about a mysterious woman who impacted one's life in a good way. On reflection, the song reminded me a bit of her.
The other connection? Well, she may have been in the same high school class as one of the lead singers of another band that played that evening. It all seemed to fit. After all, one last thing we both had in common? We lived through the Nineties.
A final word: here is the song I connect the most with that summer of 1994. I remember this because the culminating activity was that we had to organize a closing program and those two cousins got the bands. One of bands covered this tune.
In keeping with my thrust to build a community of people who will go to art events because it's a fun thing to do (not because of sundry lofty ideals, which is a sure-fire formula to get cynicism going), I have some things to note for this weekend and beyond.
1. Dani Girl is now being staged at the RCBC Plaza's Carlos P. Romulo theater from now until the end of July. Today's matinee for students features 50% off on tickets and a talk-back session with the show's dramaturg. (Yes, we do have a couple of dramaturgy practitioners, but only one's a LMDA member. Haha) For more information, please visit the Sandbox Collective website.
My short review: this is a play that explores the kinds of questions most people are confronted with when coming to terms with a critical life event. It does so in an entertaining way that does not, in most cases, talk down to the audience. The acting by the cast I saw in preview was pretty good, but I hope they fixed most of the technical issues that I noticed (especially, and unsurprisingly, with the sound system). And yes, I will recommend it if you're looking for something different to see.
2. Join us later at the Cultural Center of the Philippines when we continue with the Gerardo de Leon Centennial film screening series. Noted archivist Teddy Co (who went stage-hopping at the last Fete de la Musique) will be introducing a series of clips from those works of Gerry de Leon that have mostly been lost to time. The event, like all other events backed by the Society of Filipino Film Archivists, aims to promote the importance of archiving film as a way to bring people in touch with our history of Philippine cinema. And yes, I think some of the older stuff are quite interesting in their own right.
The screening will start at 4 PM today at the CCP's Dream Theater.
3. Our friends at Scout Magazine are marking the launch of their publication with a special event at the Samsung Hall, SM Aura Taguig. The event starts at 5 PM and features a good number of my favorite musical acts. I understand that the first performer will be this person I wrote about last April. [UPDATED: And I also hear that this band is playing. Naks] I also understand that the event and the attire is supposed to be Nineties-themed, so I will be in a variation on the old Ateneo High School dress code, which we had until uniforms were adopted in the late 1990s. (For those of you old enough to remember, you know.)
4. Finally, I would like to put in a small word (for now) for Ballet Philippines' next production La Revolucion Filipina. The modern ballet by Agnes Locsin, former artistic director of the company and one of our country's best choreographers, will be staged the last full weekend of July (26 and 27) at the CCP's Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo. For more details, please visit the Ballet Philippines website.
Oh, and why should one go to all these things? Well, they're interesting. And fun. I hope you'll have a good weekend, whatever it is you're doing.

NLC Policy Unit Struggles with Social Security and Deficit Issues
Peterson, Doug, Nation's Cities Weekly
Social Security and taxation of goods and services sold over the internet dominated the issues of discussion as the NLC's Finance, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations Steering Committee met in Yuma, Ariz. Yuma Mayor Marilyn Young hosted the meeting. NLC President Brian O'Neill was a special guest at the meeting and provided the committee a briefing on current NLC activities.
Big Questions
On Social Security the committee struggled with the question, "How do we control the Cost of Social Security to ensure its solvency for future generations and prevent it from taking the federal deficit and national debt off the deep end?"
On Internet taxation the committee wrested with, "What do we say to the President, Congress, and the electronic commerce industry about the vast changes and threats to municipal revenue systems created by the internet and the unprecedented changes which are being wrought by online commerce?"
Policy Cycle Begins
Led by Chair Maxine Childress Brown and Vice Chairs Councilmember Joe Brooks, Richmond, Va. and Mayor Irene French of Merriam, Kan., the committee began the work assigned it by the FAIR Policy Committee at the Congressional City Conference. The three priority issues for the committee this year are: Social Security reform, tax base erosion, and federal preemption of local authority. The committee will be considering policy amendments and resolutions growing out of the Yuma discussions when it next meets in the fall in Rochester, Minnesota. Recommendations from the fall meeting will be presented for decision to the FAIR Policy Committee at the year-end Congress of Cities in Kansas City, Mo., thus completing the committee's annual policy development cycle.
Internet Put on the Fast Track
Rather than waiting for the Congress of Cities, the committee voted to forward policy modifications on the internet issue for action to the summer meeting of the NLC Board of Directors. The modifications indicate an interest in a comprehensive settlement that would lead to federal legislation imposing tax-collection duties on out-of-state vendors, whether they are selling by phone, mail-order, or internet.
While the recommended policy modifications do not commit NLC to any detailed negotiating stance, they do clearly acknowledge the need for federal legislation to require this tax collection of sales (use) taxes already owed by consumers under existing law, but impractical to collect directly Congressional action is needed to compel this collection under the Constitution's Interstate Commerce clause.
The committee, in its discussion, provided further informal guidance to staff and to FAIR Committee Vice-Chair Joe Brooks of Richmond, Virginia, who represents NLC on the Electronic Commerce Project of the National Tax Association along with NLC Transportation and Communication Committee member Joseph Hilson of Hayward, Calif.
The committee will revisit the internet issue at its fall meeting following Board action. By then Congress and the Electronic Commerce Project are likely to have developed the issues involved. Then, the FAIR Committee will likely vote on additional policy language or a resolution on this subject.
President O'Neil Adresses Group
NLC President Brian 0' Neill addressed the committee on the subject of the recently adopted NLC strategic plan and special committee that is being established to track the progress of implementation as this plan moves forward. …

Series: On The Buses
"No wonder you want me to take sleeping tablets, you're a sex maniac!"Seventies Britcom centred on workers of the Luxton & District Traction Company. The main characters are Stan Butler, a bus driver, and his best mate and conductor, Jack Harper. Their arch-nemesis is pen-pushing bureaucrat bus inspector Cyril "Blakey" Blake. Recurring characters include Stan's mum, sister Olive and brother-in-law Arthur. Olive and Arthur are unhappily married, which is often joked about. Seventy-four episodes were made from 1969 to 1973. Three spinoff films were also made.On the Buses was one of the earliest British sitcoms to centre on working-class people's lives. Much of the humour comes from Stan and Jack's attempts at chatting up women, while trying to get out of doing any work. Critics derided the show as being vulgar, but it was hugely popular with audiences. Some episodes were watched by 16 million viewers, a figure unknown today, due to the splintering of the British televsion market.Came fifty-third in Britain's Best Sitcom.
This show provides examples of:
- All Men Are Perverts - Jack and Stan are forever skirt-chasing, much to Blakey's disgust.
- Blind Without 'Em - Olive loses her glasses on a regular basis, and of course can see nothing without them.
- Catch Phrase: Blakey's "I 'ate you, Butler!"
- The Chew Toy - Poor Olive, destined to be dumped on and have fat jokes told about her, despite being played by an ex-model, who also appeared in a nudie cutie and several Carry On films. (One fan site uses the phrase "the delectable Olive" to describe her.)
- Double Entendre - A mainstay of the humour.
- Everybody Smokes - Including on buses, and at the dinner table.
- Foreign People Are Sexy - The infamous episode where the boys pull a couple of Swedish birds.
- Godwin's Law - Jack and Stan regularly cracking gags comparing Blakey to Hitler is a big case of Values Dissonance for modern viewers, particularly since all he wants them to do is be on time and do some work.
- Have a Gay Old Time - "There's always gay life on the buses/make sure you leave your bird at home".
- Housewife - Stan's mum, a totally archetypal British 1950s housewife with a scarf perpetually over her hair
- Loveable Rogue - Jack and Stan
- The Movie - Actually three - On the Buses (1971), Mutiny on the Buses (1972), and Holiday on the Buses (1973). The first movie is notable for being the most successful film that Hammer Film Productions ever made. Yes, that Hammer.
- Naughty by Night - Well, Olive would like to be, but Arthur has other ideas...
- No Accounting for Taste - Olive and Arthur are a brilliantly ghastly combination.
- Popcultural Osmosis - "Blakey from On The Buses" is sometimes referred to in conversation (as a comparison to people) by other people who've never seen the series.
- Put on a Bus - Rather amusingly for Tropers, Stan leaves the series for Oop North, on the grounds that bus drivers make more money there, thus he literally was put on a bus.
- Sitcom Character Archetypes - Jack and Stan are Wisecrackers, Blakey is The Bully, Arthur is The Stick, and Olive is The Dork.
- Spin-Off - Don't Drink the Water ran for thirteen episodes across two series in 1974 and 1975 and saw Blakey retire to Spain with his sister only to find himself beset by just as many problems as he was in Britain.
- Wardrobe Malfunction - Leading to Disaster Dominoes at the beginning of the third movie.

I just pulled the trigger on this...
I am going to be out of town with a limited amount of tools and I want to anticipate any assembly issues that may arise.
I am curious about the headset installation process; mainly the absence of a star nut or it being replaced by something else?
And lastly, will I need to "press" any parts from the zero stack headset in like a normal headset, or will it sit in place without any force needed?

How did all of you teach your child to swallow pills? Logan is 4 1/2 and I would like to teach him. I have never tried so I don't even know if he could. I know if he can't were limited to what they can give him for his Adhd. I looked his med up which is methylin 5mg. And it only goes up to 10mg in liquid. If we need higher than that we'll be screwed.
Teach to swallow pills
Logan 8/27/05
Tyler 11/25/09
Alot of medicine say they are supose to be swallowed but noah is only 4 yr old and cant swallow a pill either. All 3 medicine he has taken tenex and now risperidone he has chewed doctor says its ok. Focalin we opened and sprinkled on applesauce. Alot of adhd u can open and sprinkle with applesauce. We were told to try a straw in a cup and practice with tic tacs or something small like that. When they suck on straw they will have tendency to swallow. The nurse told me some kids dont learn how to swallow until 10-12 yr even not to worry about it.
Mommy to Noah special needs child with Autism(PPD) and severe ADHD
I guess next time I'll have him give pills and see what happens. I think it'll be easier. He like to fight over the iquid if he doesn't like the taste
Logan 8/27/05

My son was taking risperidone at that age and swallowing it. It's around the same size as the methylin only the methylin sticks to the tongue more cause it's not coated.
Here's what I did... I started by crushing it and putting it in gerber fruit babyfood (just a spoon full). That was a pain so I decided to just try putting the pill in the baby food since it was so small. I didn't tell him and he didn't notice. No problem. Then he saw that he was taking the pill in the food. One day I just handed him the pill and a drink and he took it. Never had an issue. his risperidone was so tiny and easy to swallow, I don't think it would have worked with something bigger... But methylin is small too at that dose. I think it is doable.... And he may not need to go above 10 mg. That is my dose for the short acting and it's perfect. I'm almost 30!
Jennifer, DD10, DS8
This sounds awful and it is awful but this is how it had to happen here:
Tried tic tacs, tried putting the pill in a bite of applesauce, tried it all. What works for us is he takes a sip of something and then he opens wide, I place the pill on the back of his tongue and kinda shove it in, he swallows and drinks some more. It BREAKS my heart to do this to him every day but he now can push it to the back of his tongue himself most days and get it down. The trick for us was to make sure he drank enough before he tried to do that because if the tongue is the least bit dry the pill sticks. Then he gags. Ugh. The things we have to do.
Good Luck!!!
Celebrate we will;� for life is short but sweet for certain....
The applesauce trick worked for us. Just started meds last week. Put the pill in a small spoonful of applesauce and DS swallows it whole. He is almost 7 though, so that may account for the difference. He knows it is in there and gives us no argument about it--probably the only thing we get no argument about!
The dr also told us about special cups you can get that have a ledge for the pill near the top so that when the child takes a big sip it just slips out and down the throat. Maybe worth a try.
Good luck.
He can take the pills with no problem if he doesn't know its in there. If he knows it is he won't take it. Its always been a fight. Where can I find these cups your talking about? I have never heard of them before.
Logan 8/27/05
Tyler 11/25/09
we used a sip-up fruit drink like in the cartons when she started at 5. It worked without a problem the first time. This was a blessing since dd at that time was very stubbon. She can now swallow two capsules with just a regular cup now at 7.
He was switched to pills today since no pharmacy around had the amout of liquid Ritalin he was prescribed. He asked me if he could take at that time I didn't have to tell him to. I told him to take a sip of water then put it on his tongue and drink some water and swallow. He did very well for the first time doing this. It took him 3 sips of water for this but thats not bad. He swallowed half and the other half kind of dissolved. He loved that it had no taste like the liquid did.

You might also want to try having him use a straw -- I did that when ds was first learning to swallow pills and it worked really well. Just have him place the pill in the middle to back part of his tongue first then suck through the straw. The liquid seems to move much quickly and directly that way and just washes the pill down before they even realize it.

Twi-hard Mid-East potentate drops major coin for a 15 minute session with moody K-STEW.
Reportedly, an unidentified Prince paid more than $33,333 a minute to mingle with the leggy thesp, 23, last December last year.
Our ENQUIRER online staff math-letes figured that's approximately $555 a second.
At the Toronto International Film Festival Miramax founder Harvey Weinstein revealed that he negotiated the deal personally which raised funds for the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
When the movie exec brought the prince's offer to Stewart, she reputedly asked, "How much?"
Stewart then met the prince accompanied by his phalanx of bodyguards at Madison Square Garden.
The prince paid in cash, Weinstein confirmed.

Perhaps unaware of technological advancements, many managers automatically choose to continue purchasing stationary heavy metal fixed-length conveyors, a choice that may lead to added costs, process interruptions and, ultimately, to the equipment boneyard. Modular conveyor systems are perfect for many light- and medium-duty applications, offering manufacturers the advantages of quick and easy reconfiguration and, thereby, a high ROI as well as the ability to make smooth changeover transitions.
To help you determine whether the conventional fixed-length metal conveyor or the new modular conveyor is right for your application, here are 10 questions to ask before deciding on your next purchase:
1. Can I use one conveyor to handle materials at two or more locations? Portability and even the ability to easily move a conveyor out of the way may be highly desirable attributes that add to productivity while lowering long-term investment and maintenance costs.
"We have customers who get multiple uses from their modular conveyors by simply rolling them from one plant location to another," says Dynamic Conveyor''s Paul Kuharevicz. "In one case, a manufacturer of plastic products uses the modular conveyor to offload and cool (via water bath) molded products, and then uses the same conveyor in its packaging operation."
Mobility is also important to Gulf Coast Wire Products, a manufacturer of crawfish traps in Kaplan, LA, which uses a modular conveyor system to accommodate production changeovers in its injection molding operation more efficiently.
"One of the reasons we bought the modular conveyor system is that it is easily moved," says president Dan Duchamp. "Whether we need to change setups or service the injection molding machine, there''s no interference from the conveyor because you can simply slide it out of the way.The conveyor is lightweight enough for one person to move or even lift without a strain."
2. How easy is conveyor repair or belt replacement? Jammed drives and damaged belts and accessories can be time-consuming to replace. If a forklift whacks a metal conveyor, days or even weeks may be lost while the unit is welded or replaced.
Look for systems that can be repaired quickly and easily, without specialized labor. Modular conveyor sides, belts, flights, drives, and accessories are all separate units. If there is damage, replacing a section is as easy as snapping it into place. Also, consider the design of the conveyor belt. When belts constructed of interlocking links are damaged, you only need to replace the damaged section of the belt, making repair both easier and relatively inexpensive.
3. How quickly can I get replacement parts? With modular systems you can stock a few replacement modules or accessories according to your usage, as does Duchamp. Otherwise, you will want a conveyor system supplier who has replacement units and components on hand, and who provides you the assurance that these can be supplied within a few days or even overnight if required.
"Because the modules are standardized, it is easy for the manufacturer to inventory spares, so you know they''re going to be available," says Duchamp. "Another advantage of modular parts is that it''s quite practical for us to store some spare parts."
4. How easy is it to change the configuration if my needs change? With standardized modules available in a range of sizes and shapes, a modular system can provide manufacturers with important agility benefits. This is especially true for job shops and manufacturers who need to be able to retool a production line quickly to meet deadlines.
Truly modular conveyor systems can be reconfigured quickly and easily, thereby promising virtually unlimited reuse and efficiency. It is a simple matter to change belting, add flights, radius turns, and control accessories such as sensors, and shape these systems to optimize material handling operations.
Duchamp, whose operation integrates two DynaCon conveyors, says that when he had to extend the belting on one conveyor last year, the operation was simple and inexpensive.
5. What are standard maintenance requirements for my conveyor? Ease of maintenance and uptime are hand in glove. Both affect productivity and profits.
"One of the main reasons we bought a DynaCon conveyor system was because it is durable plastic [polypropylene and polycarbonate] and non-corrosive," says Duchamp. Conveyor systems of plastic construction are much easier to keep clean than metal ones. Plastic can be cleaned with water or detergents without risking rust, which may be very important to applications such as food handling.
Also, most conventional conveyors require regular lubrication in addition to continuous belt tensioning, whereas some modular conveyor systems are maintenance free. Belting on traditional conveyors is also more difficult and time-consuming to install and service, requires frequent realignment, and is more difficult to clean than plastic link-style belting.
6. Can I use the conveyor in my clean room? The requirement to meet clean room standards has become increasingly important for manufacturers in medical equipment, pharmaceutical, microelectronics, aerospace, and other industries. Nearly all standard conveyor systems have problems meeting this standard due to the lubricants used on their rollers or dust emitted from variable-speed motors using brushes.
"The primary need is to use brushless variable-speed motors," explains Kuharevicz. "The other basic need is to use self-lubricating moving conveyor parts." With brushless motors, DynaCon systems meet ISO Class-3 standards. "This type of system not only enables these manufacturers to handle Class-3 work, but can also step up production throughput," says Kuharevicz.
7. What belting options are available? Choose a vendor that offers belts in a wide range of styles and widths. DynaCon uses a self-tracking belt provided by Intralox, the largest manufacturer of modular plastic conveyor belts. Most styles are available in acetyl, polyethylene, and nylon, which provide excellent traction and wear characteristics and excellent performance and service life in food processing applications subject to USDA requirements, as well as many other applications.
Designs are available from 4-60 in. and for special configurations such as radius turns, as well as those especially suited to water bath, washdown, and impact applications. Styles include standard flat top, perforated, flush grid, raised rib, open grid, flat friction top, and diamond friction rubber.
It is also important to employ a system using a self-tracking drive system where many belts can run in the same drive path off the same drive, enabling users to change belts as needed or add or subtract belt drive flights at any time.
8. Can my system include configuration options like turns and inclines? A conveyor system should go wherever you need it to go, and by the most efficient pathway, even if it involves special turns, inclines/declines, and corresponding flights or lifts. Modular systems should offer a wide array of accessories and specialized-application modules that completely integrate with other modules, thereby providing users with added configuration latitude, dependable performance, and cost savings.
DynaCon systems offer an exclusive radius turn conveyor that flows flat or on an incline or decline. The system also provides for ascending and descending angles with bowl feeding and walk-under applications. Available electrical accessories include box filling via counting machine cycles, electronic eye for parts counting and placement, as well as electrical controls for indexing, reversing, and cutting conveyor power.
9. How comprehensive is warranty coverage? Purchase a conveyor system that carries a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship as well as a warranty on the motor and other electric components. Also consider the warranty on belts. PVC belts, such as those used on many standard fixed conveyors, need to be replaced every 18 months. DynaCon provides a 5-year warranty on all belting.
10. What is the cost and method of installing the conveyor and related items? The answer will vary according to system, accessories, and integration requirements. Many fixed metal conveyors involve expensive, specialized engineering and possibly costly and time-consuming installation techniques such as welding.
Conversely, modular conveyor systems can offer robust features while eliminating special engineering and installation requirements. "Our DynaCon system was easy to install, easy to reconfigure, easy to move, and easy to maintain," says Duchamp. "An individual can reconfigure the full unit or just pick it up and move it out."
Kuharevicz says it can be very helpful to consult a modular conveyor system specialist before deciding on a new system. "I realize that some users, especially smaller ones, will think that consulting a specialist may be somewhat extravagant. But it will most likely pay off in ways that can affect a company''s profitability, agility, and future," he explains.

2007 Mercedes Benz C230 • 60,000 miles
I bought my car 1 1/2 years ago at the largest Mercedes dealership in the world. I only had a one year warranty and didn't renew it (my bad). The car started hopping and lunging when it reached about 25 MPH and wouldn't shift up after that. The car was Platinum Certified, which means it was supposed to be up to factory standards when I bought it. I've only put about 1,100 miles on it and have had it serviced at Mercedes regularly. Do I have a lemon?
April 17, 2012.
April 17, 2012.
It could be the person bfore you either drove it hard, or easnt to good with a stick shift.
Thanks for your reply. But, it doesn't have a stick shift. It's an automatic.
I dont know why I thought that, yes 60,000 is unusual to lose an automatic, even if it wasnt serviced on schedule. I would talk to the owner of the dealership.
Just to add to the good advice that Merlin has offered. Do you know if this car was flood affected at all in its life, these transmissions are really very strong, about the only thing that kills them prematurely is abuse, water in oil and wrong oil used.
Apr 21, 2012.
Apr 21, 2012.
If it was in a flood, there's no record of it. I'm trading it in for a newer model tomorrow with the same payment and no money down, so the dealership is honoring their word and giving me a good deal. They are in agreement that it shouldn't have happened. Thanks for everyone's support. Being a single woman is a disadvantage when dealing with cars sometimes. It took two weeks to get this resolved!

Glad it worked out for the best

Organic Gardening
Learn about some of the unusual but effective practices of organic gardening.
Related To:
Gardening is about experimentation. Many of the best gardening tips and tricks come about through trial and error, word of mouth or even pure accident. Some of today's garden secrets may become tomorrow's standard practices. Try these out in your own garden and see what happens.
One of the golden rules of organic gardening is soil preparation. Good soil will help take care of itself, so building up good-quality soil will help you avoid extra additives and chemicals and save time later on.
Dry molasses, or even table sugar, tilled into garden beds at the rate of 10 pounds per 500 square feet will feed beneficial microbes in the soil. The microbes break down the soil and eat harmful pests that would otherwise have to be sprayed with pesticides.
Planting cover crops underneath or between some vegetable crops can reduce the amount of time you spend tilling garden beds. Tilling introduces oxygen, which burns up nutrients within the soil. The root system of a cover crop such as vetch improves the soil's nitrogen content and creates soil structure without adding oxygen. A cover crop keeps other weeds down and encourages earthworms to work the soil underground. Then it gets mowed off and tilled in once, adding nutrients to the soil.
Some cover crops such as buckwheat attract honeybees, which in turn do a thorough job of pollinating the vegetables in the garden. You an even keep the bees in a nearby hive to harvest the honey they produce.

How to Install Copper Wainscoting
Install copper wainscoting on a kitchen bar for an eye-pleasing look.
Measure the length and width of the island base with a tape measure and add an extra 1-1/2-inch overhang around the entire perimeter. Have the countertop built to those measurements.
Place the custom countertop on top of the island base (Image 1), and center it using a tape measure or stick ruler (Image 2).
Stabilize the countertop by applying pressure on the top to prevent it from moving. If working with a partner, have him or her sit on the table.
Using 1-1/4-inch wood screws and a cordless screw gun, attach the table to the island using the cabinet braces in the island. The screw size may vary based on the depth of the countertop. Make sure the screw is no longer than the depth of the table so the screws don't pop through the top of the countertop. Repeat for all the braces in the cabinet.
