Are you nuts? Before guns, there were no wars! Everybody was living in harmony until 1911 when, all of a sudden, everybody started killing a murdering and raping because they had the gun! There is a great movie about this, Zardoz, or something like that.
Look, people are stupid, and when critical mass is reached most of them will die, as nature intended. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go sharpen my hammer.

Not to be a jerk, but they would be correct. He was crossing in an area he should not have been. While the care shouldn't have taken the chance of making that turn, you can see him correct course when he realizes the pedestrian is standing there, putting him in the path of the truck longer than originally calculated.

Don't forget about non-Christian teachers! They should all be fired also! And teachers that don't agree with Gay marriage…fire them too! And heaven forbid there be a teacher that isn't an open feminist! I say we start cleaning house! Get rid of all those coloreds and Jews too…YEEHAW!
But seriously, as a fellow Texan, I say this from the bottom of my heart: take your thought police mentality and please, move out of my state ASAP.
[2] November 10, 2014 at 11:27pm
I think the girl should have been arrested for making an illegal recording. Once it was out, I don't think the league should have had the authority to force the sale of his team, especially when it was co-owned with his estranged wife. That whole situation was fubar.
I'm' sorry to see you side with liberals who think free speech should only be allowed when it doesn't offend. No, I wouldn't want my kids in this classroom, and so I would make a call to the school and change that. But you are talking about the government controlling someone's speech, outside of work. You are actually calling for government to control speech. In case you miss my point, YOU ARE CALLING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL A CITIZEN'S SPEECH!
The Constitution allows people to do and say things you don't agree with. This is the problem with a 2 party system; both camps want a government that can control what you do and say and think, just so long as what they allow aligns with what you want to do and say and think.
Seriously, man, rethink your stance on freedom; right now, you're on the wrong side of the law, of liberty, of the Constitution.
[30] November 10, 2014 at 5:39pm
You make a great point that school teachers should not be government employees. Schools should be privately run and if taxes for their existence must be levied, then a voucher program is certainly called for.
Secondly, as a government employee (local/state government, that is), her employer is the government itself. If we allow government employees to have their social lives monitored/controlled by their employer, then we are allowing the government to control their actions, speech, thoughts, etc.
This seems like a very dangerous shift toward an Orwellian future. Don't fall for it. Let the parents work this out with the school itself.
[8] November 10, 2014 at 5:31pm
Yes, she is an employee of the school district, and if this was done while at work or from a school computer, yes, fire her. If, however, this was done from home or on her phone while off the clock, then again, we must be very careful when coming to a determination regarding her termination.
If we allow employers to fire people for what they do when not at work, we are effectively giving employers the ability to control all aspects of our lives. If she is a government worker, then we are giving the government the power to control all aspects of our lives!
No, I would not want my child in her class. And a single phone call to the school will fix that problem. And when every parent has called and expressed the same opinion, then she can be fired for the inability to perform her job. But I don't have a child in her class, nor do you, so we are not the ones to make this call.
I am simply warning everyone that this is EXACTLY the type of speech protected by our founders, as unpopular and disgusting as we all know it to be. Condemn her if you want, I certainly have, but do not allow this government to claim itself as a righteous warden of everyone's social life. Surely you can see the line that would cross.
[9] November 10, 2014 at 5:16pm
@ Chuck
I was agreeing with an assessment as to the reasons for the outrage, not with the validity of the threatened actions against this woman.
We have freedom of speech. Only recently has "speech" come to mean seemingly everything but speech itself. This woman made a statement that was available to the public. She also works in a right-to-work state, so she can honestly be fired for any/no reason. But to fire someone for expressing their opinion, while breaking no laws, is wrong.
She said something stupid and racist, and her quality of work should be questioned and reviewed, but to fire someone because their ideology is different than that of an employer is a very dangerous bridge to cross.
What if your employer decided that you voted the wrong way, so fired you? Or if you were overheard in a restaurant talking about religion and it was a different viewpoint than your employer? Should you be fired then?
What I am saying is that freedom of speech specifically protects unpopular opinions. If it only protected popular opinions, the expressed right of free speech would be entirely unnecessary.
[16] November 10, 2014 at 4:50pm
I agree completely. Especially since she is Black, which gives her an upper hand when criticizing what has become a racial debate rather than one of police tactics. Even still, racist or not, she is entitled to her opinion.
Being racist isn't a crime, and we should be careful when supporting those with the opinion that it is. Racism is natural and should be tolerated, just as we tolerate homosexuality, feminism, voting rights for the uneducated, etc.
If we allow racism to become a criminal taboo, then we have effectively offered our tongues as sacrifice on the alter of political correctness.
[25] November 10, 2014 at 4:47pm
Agreed. It is time we take a serious look at why we continue to give tax dollars to the government when it supports the indoctrination of our children by racists, Marxists, federalists, etc.
While this woman is entitled to her (wrong) opinions, schools should be careful when hiring people like this. I hope her attitude doesn't come through in the classroom, but something tells me it does.

As much as I hate to say this, and I honestly do HATE saying it, I don't think she should be fired or even suspended.
While her statement is disgusting, racist, and entirely wrong (as is her way of thinking), what the hell are we condoning if we support the firing of someone for having an opinion different than our own.
When the riots/race war begins, she'll just be another target. Until then, she's just a dumb b*tch with an opinion we can all agree is reprehensible.

While I agree that there is a systemic war on Christianity in the U.S., I also don't believe that college campuses are where anybody would expect to find a sympathetic ear toward any religion. I don't understand the love of Islam to be sure, but colleges teach higher education, critical thinking, math and science and factual information.
Religion has always been a way to control the less educated masses; from before the time of Moses, religion expressed laws that promoted procreation and reduced violence against those of the same belief. Religion is not taken seriously on college campuses for the same reason Cinderella isn't taken seriously.

Star Citizen: What Happened To The RSI Artemis Ark ?
The fate of the RSI Artemis is perhaps the biggest mystery since the ancient Earth-ship the Marie Celeste. For those fortune-seekers who want to pursue this Holy Grail of space artifacts we set out the known facts below.
The Mission
The Artemis was a cryogenic Ark launched in 2232 aimed at the Gliese system where it was thought it would find an earth-like planet for its 5,000 colonists, the best and brightest of Earth chosen from over one million applicants.
The journey was due to take 200 years (even today it would take around 20 years without using jump points, which at the time had not yet been discovered).
The Artemis was an RSI Chariot-class equipped with the brand new RSI propulsion drive, at the time the technology was only twenty years old and operated only at c/100.
The ship was equipped with a unique intelligent AI core, called Janus, and the crew were put into cryogenic sleep for the journey.
The Facts
We know the ship stopped for repairs at the Stanton system, where a 2m x 4m hull section was cut out by a crew member. The hull section is now on display in The Hartley Museum, London, Earth and is estimated to have been buried 500 years ago. Chronologically this means that the Artemis would have arrived at the Stanton system shortly after it was due to arrive in Gliese. The hull section contains the name of the ship, making it highly likely that the crew left the object hoping it would one day be found and identified.
Next we pick up the Artemis's scent in the Oso system where infrared communications from the computer core were discovered preserved in cryogenic gases. The Oso system is about the same distance and in the same general direction as Gliese but indicates that the Artemis was, by now, not following her original flight plan.
The contents of the messages recovered from the gases indicate that Artemis was again stopping for repairs.
The most tangible lead after this comes from rumors which suggest that a thruster and an environmental suit from the Artemis were found on Oso II (a pre-flight civilization) where they were allegedly being worshiped as religious fetishes. Advocacy records are sealed under the Fair Chance Act, and that planet is Protected, leaving us at a dead end.
Finally, Tonya Oriel, the renowned tomb-raider and historian, claims to have found the body of Kenlo, the Artemis's chief engineer, frozen in ice in the Kallis system.

Simulations on a copy of the machine core AI show that Janus would be capable of sophisticated decision-making and path-finding.
The Speculation
It seems clear that the Artemis changed its flight schedule. We do now know whether this decision was taken by the AI or the crew. We do know that the AI was capable of taking executive action including taking direct control of the ship.
So what happened?
It seems that there are five possible scenarios:
1) The Artemis may have been destroyed. If not then surely in all this time the colonists and their descendants would have found a way to contact home?
2) Assuming that the AI would have attempted to return home, if to do so would be a shorter distance than the nearest habitable planet, we can assume she may have made her way to anywhere within a two light-year radius of the Kallis system and established a colony. What became of the colony, if it ever existed, is a mystery.
3) If the AI failed or deliberately was made inoperable maybe the ship remains, adrift in space. Do her crew slumber, or are they dead? If by some miracle she continues adrift she must now be somewhere within a five light-year radius of the Kallis system.
4) Could the Artemis have found the first jump point fifty years before Nick Croshaw made his pioneering first jump? Could the crew, or the AI core have figured out how to use it? If so the Artemis could be conceivably anywhere.
5) Finally, and the most sinister of all options: much has been made of the fact that the name 'Janus' refers to a two-faced God from ancient Earth mythology, could the AI core have betrayed its frail human cargo and continued alone into the distant stars?
The Moral
The Artemis had a drive capable of only c/100 and no knowledge of jump points and yet she made it to at least three neighboring jump point locations.
This raises the question: what would have happened in UEE history if we had continued to explore traditional propulsion technology rather than relying on jump points? Nowadays FTL drives are the hobby-horses of cranks and fringe scientists like Russell Valem but we must admit that our over-reliance on jump-points leaves us blind to traditional exploring and makes distant stars more familiar than the vast recesses of space which directly surround us.

for these guidelines:
Write a loop that reads positive integers from standard input and that terminates when it reads an integer that is not positive. After the loop terminates, it prints out, separated by a space and on a single line, the sum of all the even integers read and the sum of all the odd integers read. Declare any variables that are needed.
ASSUME the availability of a variable, stdin , that references a Scanner object associated with standard input.
I wrote this code, but it the HW software will not except it due to a logical error. I cant seem to find the logical error here. can someone point out what is wrong with it?
int sumP=0;
int sumO=0;
Scanner stdin = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("enter an odd or even number");
while (stdin.nextInt() >= 0){
if(stdin.nextInt()%2 == 0)

sumO += stdin.nextInt();
System.out.println(sumP + " " + sumO);

continued … I believe fiction has a role to play in this education. It brings humanity to those people who are dealing with these conditions. It deemphasizes the labels, humanizes, and puts a face on recovery. It's also a tool to give to those people who just don't get what it's like to live through the far-reaching effects of these illnesses."
You've been busy since the release of your first published novel, advocating for mental illness education and writing a second book. Where do you find time to sleep?
"And don't forget that I own and run my own private optometry practice, and that I am a current board member of NAMI Syracuse, that I am currently at the tail end of writing my fifth novel, that I have traveled all over the country since 'Where Are the Cocoa Puffs?' was released in September of 2010 presenting at various NAMI conventions, dinners, college classes, bookstores and libraries. Not to mention my two dogs, three cats, one horse, numerous poison dart frogs, two big goldfish, and two tortoises that I must take care of! So the answer to your question is that I don't sleep! No, seriously, I love what I'm doing. At times it's a little overwhelming, but the rewards I receive — when I have people come up to me or write to me and tell me that my words or my books have made their life a little easier — well… it makes it all worthwhile and helps me sleep like a baby!"
Winters Schwartz will be a guest speaker for NAMI Madison County at 6 p.m. June 19 at the Oneida Public Library. Then she'll travel to Seattle for a book signing at the NAMI National conference on June 28.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Isaiah Alonso Foundation, Elizabethtown, KY, USA
As a volunteer and board member, I see the difference we make for families fighting childhood cancer daily. We provide financial support to families and it makes a huge impact on those families struggling to pay their bills while doing all they can to help their sick children. In addition, the family gift bag program is wonderful and a big help to especially those who are in the hospital and weren't expecting to be inpatient. I also love the fact that it is an all volunteer charity and no one involved takes any salary.
More Feedback
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
A lot
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Review for Jeffrey's Voice, Inc., Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, USA
I am a proud supporter of Jeffrey's Voice and their mission to find a cure for leukemia and blood cancers. I am so inspired by not only the story of brothers Jeffrey and Brian, but the heartfelt caring that goes into everything they do. They are simply amazing!
Review for Isaiah Alonso Foundation, Elizabethtown, KY, USA
I volunteered for the ARMHC gift bag drive in Georgia. Those bags were amazing and included gift cards, snacks, toiletries, toys, books, games, blankets, etc. We ended up with enough bags so each family staying at both houses got a nice gift bag. I was so happy to play a small part in making a difference for those dealing with serious childhood illnesses. I hope they do it again next year because I will be first in line to sign up and volunteer! Keep up the great work, IAF!
More Feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
What one change could this group make that would improve your volunteer experience?
I understand they are new, but getting more people involved will help them help others.

This tulip and it's sisters Hocus Pocus, Temple's Favorite and Perestroika are some of my favorites. We plant thousands of bulbs in our gardens every year and these late May bloomers never fail to perform. Their 28" height makes them wonderful to combine with lower growing late bloomers or just as a group by themselves. Truly wonderful additions to the spring garden!

I have seen it flowering in Keukenhof this year (2008)...oooh it was really huge..I had problems to take nice photos of it..it simply did not fit in my lens. Very impressive!

�Temple of Beauty� tulip was introduced in 1959 by Dirk W. Lefeber, a world leading and renowned tulip hybridizer and the introducer of Darwin Hybrids. He created a higher level of excellence in tulip size, color combinations, and garden performance.

I cut this from a double layer 9 x 13, all buttercream. I drove this cake to Kansas City from Chicago.....I ended up having to redo the whole top in the hotel room because the box top stuck to the top of the cake. I learned my lesson in traveling with cakes.

That stinks you had to redo the top but your cake is great! or should I say super!

Implementing Obamacare
Obamacare, the biggest change in the nation's health-care system in decades, is upon us.
With the health-insurance marketplaces scheduled to open for enrollment Oct. 1, millions of Americans, and officials at all levels of government, are trying to figure out what the sweeping Affordable Care Act means for them. On Jan. 1, the law goes into full effect.
Over the coming months and years, The Washington Post will follow the administration's efforts to promote the legislation and examine the implementation of the law at the federal and state levels, as well as the continued political fight in Congress.
Check back regularly for the latest news on the health-care overhaul.

I believe you're using Wordpress.
Here's the easiest way:

Change the permalinks structure on wordpress and save it

Should work this way, there's no need for you to hand update it.
how dyou update your .htaccess for the permalink?
it saysbut after copying theseodes and paste it in the .htaccess, it dont work.Code:yoy hould update your .htaccess now.
i sthere anything else i should do?<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

funny since i don't remember i've encounter this error to my first blog.
somebodt tell me please.
I believe you're using Wordpress.
Here's the easiest way:
Chmod .htaccess to 777
Change the permalinks structure on wordpress and save it
Chmod back to 644
Should work this way, there's no need for you to hand update it.
The .htaccess file only works on a Unix or Linux server running Apache. It will not work on a Microsoft server or if your hosting company does not allow server overrides.

thanks you guys. however, chmod don't change back the permission to 644 or its just that i'm not sure about the commands
i log in to the cpanel and right click to it, but still permission didn't change back.
I never use cpanel. Did you try it from a ftp.

CHMOD can change the permissions back. I believe that you are not using it properly. You can take the help of your host provider like I do
If you have knowledge of control panel then you can change it easily. But do this task carefully & save previous file in your computer to avoid wrong entry.
I logged into my cPanel and clicked on the File Manager icon.
Then I clicked on the folder icon for the public_html folder.
Then I get a listing of all the files and directories which includes .htaccess
This had file permissions set to 644
Then I click on the file icon and get a list of things that I can do in the right side of the page.
One of these is "Change Permissions" so I click on the link for this and can change the permissions OK back and forth.

Wei, JL and Geng, L and Cunningham, DG and Penty, RV and White, IH (2012) Comparisons between gigabit NRZ, CAP and optical OFDM systems over FEC enhanced POF links using LEDs. International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks.Full text not available from this repository.
Simulations have been performed to compare the link power budget and power dissipation of carrierless amplitude and phase modulation-64 (CAP-64) and 64-quadrature amplitude modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (64-QAM-OFDM) systems over feedforward error correction (FEC) enhanced plastic optical fibre (POF) links using light emitting diodes (LEDs). It is shown that CAP-64 outperforms 64-QAM-OFDM and supports record high 2.1Gb/s over 50m POF transmission. The CAP-64 and 64-QAM-OFDM links consume similar powers which are 2 (2.5) times of that of NRZ for the single POF link (twin POF links) case. © 2012 IEEE.

The inclusion of DTS makes SQL Server a more powerful platform for data warehousing and other uses as an enterprise database. DTS in SQL Server 2000 provides much more functionality and convenience than DTS in SQL Server 7.0.
The Transform Data task gives you a convenient, flexible, and fast method to move data. This task gives you control of each row of data. At the same time, the Transform Data task can use an extremely fast bulk insert to load batches of records at a time into SQL Server.
What do you have to know in order to begin using DTS?
Not much. You can use the DTS Import/Export Wizard and easily create a DTS package.
But to really be effective with DTS, you need to learn about DTS packages, connections, tasks, and steps. You need to be able to combine the set-oriented logic of SQL with the programmatic logic of a scripting language. You need to learn the wealth of possibilities provided by the 21 different built-in tasks.
My book tells you the purpose for each of the tasks and its properties. I have also provided numerous code samples to help you get started with your scripts and programming. You can do a lot with DTS without buying a book about it. But I hope my book can help you learn how to use this great tool more quickly and more effectively.
One note - the text of the book refers repeatedly to a CD, which was not included with the book. All the source code is available on the publisher's web site. The source code includes a version of the Local Cube Task, a custom DTS task that can be used to automate the creation of local cube files from an Analysis Services cube. You can find a current version of the task on the localcubetask web site. You can also sign up on the web site to receive code updates and new insights into using DTS.
Use Data Transformation Services (DTS) with a variety of data sources.
Write scripts to customize data transformations
Integrate DTS with XML.
Design data marts and load them with DTS.
Integrate DTS with VB applications.
Use the DTS wizards for rapid development of DTS packages.
Integrate DTS with the OLAP and data mining capabilities of Analysis Services.
Use the transformation tasks, data movement tasks, and control tasks.
Control the flow of events and set up looping in your DTS packages.
Use the multiple phases of the transformation tasks.
Manipulate hierarchical rowsets with the Parallel Data Pump task.
Manage packages with Visual Basic and Transact-SQL stored procedures.
Handle package and transformation errors.
Develop high-performance DTS packages.
Integrate DTS with Meta Data Services.

Thanks for the heads up on Sacre Cour, nice business model, but I hate the name, I'm buying some, sounds like they are doing it different from all the other juniores which is do financings with slimeball bankers that drive the price down prior and then get all those free shares and warrants to cover their short position, dilute dilute dilute, I like their plans to actually produce gold and use the $$$ to do additional exploration I think we might have a winner here in this wasteland of Juniors run by IDIOTS !!! BRAVO Sacre Coeur !!! I do like SAC here, trades well below cash value.

The Senate voted Monday evening against the Paying a Fair Share Act of 2012, also known as the Buffett Rule, which would set a minimum 30% tax on millionaires and billionaires.
While the 51-45 vote fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the measure, Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, and Charles Schumer, D-NY, told reporters on a conference call early Monday afternoon that even if Senate democrats failed to get enough Senate republicans to vote in favor of the Buffett Rule proposal, they'd continue to fight to see it passed. "Even if we come up short of the 60 votes needed today, we'll keep pushing this issue in the months ahead," Schumer said on the call. Whitehouse agreed, stating: "We're going to come back to this issue repeatedly."
In his weekly address on Saturday, President Obama urged members of Congress to pass the Buffett Rule, stating that it's a "principle of fairness that says if you make more than $1 million a year, you should pay at least the same percentage of your income in taxes as middle-class families. Meanwhile, if you make under $250,000 a year—like 98% of American families do—your taxes shouldn't go up."
Obama went on to say that "most Americans and nearly half of Republicans support" the Buffett rule, with one survey finding that "two-thirds of millionaires do, too." Said Obama: "We just need some Republican politicians to get on board with where the country is."
The Joint Committee on Taxation reported that the Buffett Rule would raise $47 billion over the next 10 years, a figure Republicans argue would put only a small dent in the federal deficit. But Martin Sullivan, chief economists at Tax Analysts, notes that "in the world we are likely to be facing for many years to come—where Republicans have veto power over any tax increases—a Buffett rule would likely raise much more than the oft-quoted $47 billion figure." If the Bush tax cuts are extended, he says, "application of the Buffett rule would raise $162 billion over 10 years."

John Boudreaux, left, and John Utesch, both parishioners of St. Matthew Catholic Church, work on the floor after installing the new front doors at the church. Utesch designed and built the doors, which are each made of 134 pieces of wood. Boudreaux is chairman of the church grounds and building committee.

Gracing the front of St. Matthew Catholic Church in Monroe is a new set of handmade wooden doors, made possible thanks to the generosity of members of the congregation and the skills of talented craftsmen.
The new doors are made of wood from the sepela tree, which grows in Africa and is in the mahogany family.
"It's the same wood used in Martin and Gibson guitars," said John Utesch, a master woodworker of Calhoun, who designed and built the doors. ...

Ed Jew and the FBI
By Tim Redmond
I'm not going to jump to any conclusions here; I'm an innocent-until-proven-guilty kind of guy. But I will say that there's some very funky looking stuff in the daily papers right now about Sup. Jew. The Chron had the basics in its first-day story, but raised more questions than it answered, especially around the fact that Jew doesn't seem to be living in the house that he owns in the Sunset. The Sunday Chron story follows that up a bit, exploring the fact that Jew's wife and daughter apparently live in Burlingame.
But the Examiner had the most juicy bit of the scoop, something that somehow got left out the the Chron story (and now is not, apparently, on the Ex website, or at least I couldn't find it.)
Here's the Ex:
"Jew said the storeowners [who needed help with permits] paid $40,000 for [consulting] services, half of which ended up in his safe and which, he said, he planned to spend on community needs in his district, including playgrounds. Jew said FBI agents Friday confiscated the $20,000. He did not elaborate on how the money came to be in his safe."
Whoa. $20,000 in cash in his safe, and he "did not elaborate" on it. That's a question I would have pushed a bit more if I were the Ex reporter on that story, but it's too late now: Jew has a lawyer, and won't be making any more comments.
But we do know the FBI search warrent mentioned that the agents were looking for cash, and had a long list of currency serial numbers.
So let's see if I've got this right: Jew sends some constituents to a consultant, the constitutents pay him -- not the consultant -- $40,000 cash, and $20,000 ends up in his safe. If that's true -- and again, I'm basing this on one Examiner story that seems to have vanished from the web (the paper is now using a brief AP report on its site) -- it sure looks bad.
And to answer the question Brian poses at Calitics -- if Jew was forced to resign over this, who would replace him? -- that's easy. The mayor gets the appointment, and it will be Newsom's buddy, Doug Chan.

KUSA - A wide, low bowl is the ideal container to plant with flowering annuals and foliage plants. It allows for more creativity than a pot with a smaller opening.
As you shop for plants--and many of you will--look for three types of plants to make a memorable container. Just remember "thrillers," "fillers" and "spillers."
Start with the thrillers. These are the splashy, colorful flowers that grab your attention. I gravitate towards dahlias, cannas and geraniums.
Add the fillers next. These are often plants with great leaves or with fountain shapes, such as coleus, spike dracaenas, agastache, gaura, salvias and impatiens.
The spillers trail from the pot and finish it off. These might include petunias, verbena, sweet potato vine, vinca, mandevilla and golden lysimachia.
By using plants from each group, you'll be nearly assured of success. Select plants that enjoy the same light and moisture requirements. Plant them closely together to achieve that billowing, abundant look. With even moisture and regular feeding, they will weave together to create a marvelous statement all summer.
Plants are courtesy of Tagawa Gardens.

Frankenstein Sundae, 179
14 hours ago
Within a family composed entirely of anomalous animals (an animaly let us call it), would the assorted anomalies be able to tell one another apart?
Maybe they'd "all get together and love one another right now"(?).
But that would be another case of wonders never ceasing, as all poets are reckoned to be to be unique as snowflakes. (Perhaps "aberrational" would be another way of saying this.)
I can't imagine snowflakes as going in much for mutual compatibility.
The small frisky snowflakes, the helpful herding snowflakes, the great baying snowflake hounds...
I agree about those tests as creative thinkers could always see how each item belonged.
I've always felt like the butter on a table of spices.

So Friday night was my daughter's spring fair at her school
We both had lots of fun! They had a BBQ and hot dogs and stuff. I had one hot dog and a side chickpea salad instead of the chips! YAY! There was lots of activities, my daughter had the nerve to put her principal in the "mock jail!" haha and the principal put her in it in return! It was pretty funny! They had bouncy castle, sucker pull, fish game, used book sale, the mock jail, lots of fun! We got home and both went to bed!
Saturday morning me and my daughter took Buster to the park. Look at those cuties!
We walked around, let him play with some dogs and went home. Took her to dance, hung out for the afternoon. She went to her dads saturday night and me and my boyfriend made yummy haddock and rice and veggies for supper. We had a beer and watched skyfall :) It was a great night!
Sunday he made me breakfast for mother's day, then I had my mother over and made her shrimp pasta dish and got her flowers :) My daughter made me a nice card too :) Such a sweetie!
Sunday evening we had obedience class for Buster. It was his last one and he passed!!
Monday morning I slept in :( I honestly shouldn't have. I'm starting to learn the difference between sleeping in because I need the sleep or sleeping in because I'm being lazy. Yesterday I was being lazy! I should have gotten up for our first day of pooch to 5K! Anyways there isn't anything I can do about yesterady today. So we started today instead!
The first day is walk 4 minutes, jog 1 minute, repeat 4 times. It was really great. Nice and easy to start out, ease both of us into it! He did great, I need to work on his leash manners a bit more but overall he did really well :)
We did 3.29KM in only 45 minutes!! I had more time to get ready since we did some jogging which was great! I kept Buster leashed while we were running and let him have some off leash time when we were done :) Just in case I ever want to take him on the road he'll be trained to run on leash
I had quinoa and peanut butter and banana for breakfast this morning! YUM!!
I packed some pineapple and strawberries for snack
and this wonderful quinoa, salmon and veggies for lunch
Feeling great today!! So happy to be back at a jogging program and in no time we will be jogging 5K!! Can't wait!
For pure entertainment purposes here is Brittany and Buster saying good bye this morning, haha

This hearing will focus on the economic benefits onshore oil and gas development can bring to communities and how it can contribute to energy security. It will focus on the economic growth and expansion that has been made possible through onshore oil and gas development by highlighting individual stories of business owners who have benefitted from energy development by increasing profits, creating new jobs, and expanding their businesses in areas previously seeing little economic growth prior to energy development in the area. Additionally, this hearing will focus on roadblocks and rules coming from the Obama Administration aimed at preventing energy development and job creation on federal lands and the impact these hurdles will have on economic development.

When you feel depressed, when you feel bad, it is sometimes for no reason at all. You wake up in the morning and feel hopeless, terrible. We may use our experiences to justify that feeling. I feel bad. . . because I don't have any money. I feel bad. . . because something has gone wrong in my life. In fact, our early morning depression is not all that logical. Out of nowhere, you just don't feel so good. Then you come up with all kinds of logical explanations for why you are depressed. In the Shambhala tradition, we talk about how fearlessness comes out of the realization of fear. Similarly, when you experience morning depression, it is possible to cheer up. That situation is genuine and quite workable. From morning depression and its terror, we can step right into basic goodness. We can appreciate depression as being like a wobbly staircase. When you put your foot on the first step, you wonder whether it's going to hold you. You might fall. But as you take further steps, you realize that it's going to carry you upstairs. We learn to reject the terror of morning depression and to step into morning basic goodness, right on the spot.

This company takes pride in their products with the highest professional and technical standards in production.
This along with the cup dispenser are a great addition to the restaurant
I bought 8 of these for 12oz paper coffee cups up to 44oz plastic Pepsi cups, and it works perfectly for all of them.
I like the dispenser however the cups fall out of it because there is not a bracket in front or back to keep the cups in place so they fall out the front and back. This is a frustrating problem and keeps me from ordering more because it wastess cups as we must throw them away when they fall on the floor. I'm disappointed.
The stand has worked great and allowed us to have multiple souffle cup and lid sizes available in one area so our employees don't have to run up and down the line. Also saves counter space!
We bought these trash chutes for a retail store that we did the fixtures for. They were perfect. The price was good and the shipping was fast!
Dispense-Rite understands that every business has to balance quality and budget. Focusing on the technical specifications of excellent dispensers is a core value of this company and because of this, Dispense-Rite can offer an array of dispensers, organizers and racks to fit every budget.

Parity and generalized multiplicity
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Assuming that and are Banach spaces and is a path of linear Fredholm operators with invertible endpoints, in we defined a homotopy invariant of , the parity of on . The parity plays a fundamental role in bifurcation problems, and in degree theory for nonlinear Fredholm-type mappings. Here we prove (a) that, generically, the parity is a count of the number of transversal intersections of with the set of singular operators, (b) that if is an isolated singular point of , then the local parity

Hi guys I have a Dell laptop and have had te idea to install in my car for years. Now financially it's in reach. I need some advice about how i will power the laptop. Don't want anything permanent because I use the laptop in my house. Also on cattft.com they have a lliput screen an a screen that resembles the xenarc screen. Is the one which looks like xenarc actually the same as a xenarc. :confused:
I have purchased Infomap Navigator with a Haicom GPS mouse. Now all I need is an inverter (don't know which one) and a screen.
Any suggestions/tips on what to use, problems I may come across, or compnents which i have missed or some general advice would be much appreciated.

For the second year in a row, testing irregularities at El Molino High School have wiped crucial scores from the school's books.
As a result, the incident this year has placed the campus in federal sanctions.
When the state released its annual state Academic Performance Index and federal Adequate Yearly Progress results Wednesday, neither score could be calculated for El Molino because a teacher had committed an error that affected at least five percent of pupils tested.
Without the performance index, federal benchmarks cannot be calculated, so El Molino will be classified as not having met No Child Left Behind standards two years running, putting them into Program Improvement sanctions.
"It's sad because it's a good school," said Steve Herrington, superintendent of the Sonoma County Office of Education.
It's the first time a Sonoma County school has come under sanctions for such infractions in recent memory, according to Herrington.
"It's an anomaly," he said.
Officials from the West Sonoma County district alerted the state to potential problems in the administration of the Standardized Testing and Reporting program last spring. The district conducted its own investigation and submitted it to the California Department of Education.
District Superintendent Keller McDonald did not name the teacher involved or reveal what happened during the test, calling it a personnel matter. He said "appropriate consequences" have been meted out. The teacher remains an employee of the district but is not currently working in the classroom.
In July, a representative from the California Teachers Association acknowledged that union officials had met with an El Molino teacher about the allegations and referred her to an attorney.

Community lenders edge closer to end of TARP tunnel
When banking regulators rolled out the Troubled Assets Relief Plan in late 2008, the idea was relatively simple: The government would dip into its massive coffers to boost lenders' capital, help them absorb losses and get through the recession. When things got better again, the banks would soon grow healthy enough to cut a check and get back to a more normal state of business.
Middle Tennessee's community banking scene shows that carrying out that plan hasn't always been so straightforward. And adding a sense of urgency for most of the institutions still in TARP is that the dividends they must pay will jump to 9 percent at the end 2013, up from 5 percent now.
Already out of the Capital Purchase Program — the program under the TARP umbrella that actually invested in the nation's banking sector — are the parent companies of Pinnacle Bank and Avenue Bank in Nashville, as well as F&M Bank out of Clarksville.
Pinnacle took the most straightforward route out, repaying its $95 million from its retained earnings. The more than $16 million in dividends it paid over almost four years gave the Treasury Department a return on its Pinnacle investment of almost 18 percent.
Avenue, in September 2011, stepped into another government-backed program, the Small Business Lending Fund, which ties the dividends it will pay on its preferred stock to loan growth. The Treasury, i.e. we taxpayers, booked a profit of $1.4 million on the CPP investment in Avenue.
F&M took another path — and one not entirely of its own choosing. After it paid more than $3.3 million in dividends to the government, its preferred stock was sold via auction to private investors last month. The $18.1 million of debt sold at a 20 percent discount.
"It's just like having regular preferred stock out there," said Sammy Stuard, F&M president, who declined to disclose the identity of his new shareholders. "The payback terms are substantially the same."
Other area lenders are seeing the end of the TARP tunnel. Chris Holmes, president of FirstBank, said his team has been talking to regulators about doing the same thing as Pinnacle before the end of this year. First South Bancorp, the parent of FirstBank, still owes about $37 million of the $50 million the Treasury invested. It has paid about $12 million in dividends and last year redeemed about a quarter of the government's investment.
As soon as the appropriate permissions come in to pay back the remainder, Holmes said, a big check will go out the door.
"If we wanted to hang on to it longer, we could," Holmes said. "But we'd rather get out of the program, and I think Treasury would rather wrap up the program, too."
Here's where things stand with the other local community banks in which the Treasury still has a stake:
• CedarStone Bank, based in Lebanon, has been faithfully paying its dividends but still owes the Treasury all of its $3.6 million if it wants to leave TARP. CedarStone's profits have been small but climbing steadily, and its capital ratios are comfortably above regulatory requirements. The bank's president, Bob McDonald, could not be reached last week for comment about his TARP payback plans.
• Community First Inc., the Columbia-based parent of Community First Bank & Trust, received $17.8 million from the Treasury in early 2009 and dutifully paid its dividends for two years. But when the Federal Reserve clamped down on the money-losing bank — total losses topped $10 million in 2009 and 2010 — it said CEO Louis Holloway and his team needed to halt those payments so that Community First could build up its capital cushion. (The dividend payments are still recorded on the bank's books, but the cash has stayed at home.) At this point, preserving the bank's future is more important than paying back the Treasury. Holloway, who did return a request for comment, has been shrinking his bank and dumping bad loans. Community First booked a first-half profit of $2.7 million.
• The parent of First Freedom Bank in Wilson County is headed for the exit and, like F&M, getting a new set of preferred stockholders. Treasury officials, who have invested $8.7 million in six-year-old First Freedom, on Halloween launched an auction for their stake. As of press time, the results of the auction were not yet available. President John Lancaster was traveling last week and unavailable for comment.
The Treasury has been taking some heat from Christy Romero, the special inspector general charged with watching the operations of TARP, over its increasing use of these auctions. Treasury officials have said they are at this point acting like private investors, but Romero sees risks in quickly shuffling community banks out of the program.
"Without analysis or consultation with banking regulators, it is unclear how Treasury can be assured that this exit strategy promotes financial stability or preserves the strength of community banks," Romero wrote in a recent report to Congress. "Community banks are still feeling the effects of the crisis and have only just begun their recovery. Any TARP exit plan should ensure that the industry does not lose ground on that recovery."
The looming jump in the dividend rate to 9 percent won't make things any easier for small banks, which are finding it very difficult to raise new capital by themselves these days. One of their best hopes, said Bass Berry & Sims banking attorney Bob Thompson, may be to hope that Treasury officials agree to modify those terms somewhat — the nation's community banks can be a powerful lobbying force in D.C. — or that private investors brought in through auctions will be more flexible. Either way, the journey back to true financial health for these institutions looks to be a long one.
"By and large, it'll be a lot of having to figure it out by yourself," Thompson said. "It will be a long-term workout, but not an impossible workout."
