Professional athletes aren't required to use their fame and recognition to help the disadvantage, but if they do, they then have a responsiblity to do what is necessary to make sure that everything and everyone remains accountable. Case in point, Lamar Odom. The Los Angeles Clippers forward started a foundation back in 2004 called Cathy's Kids. He named it after his mother. She died after a battle with stomach cancer. Odom's foundation is now being accused of not giving a single cent to cancer research. That stands in stark contrast to what the mission statement says for Cathy's Kids: "Lamar lost his mother to stomach cancer and subsequently is committed to help causes that are focused on finding a cure and helping people who suffer from the disease. Lamar is focused on ensuring that funds are available for under-privileged youth that live in the inner cities of New York and Los Angeles." According to an ESPN investigation, the funds of Cathy's kids have yet to be used towards cancer research, but have financed two highly successful AAU basketball teams. In 2004, Odom founded Cathy's Kids, named after his mother who the NBA forward says died from cancer. But eight years [...]

China-Japan: Update. China broadcast that three of its coast guard ships patrolled in its territorial waters of the Diaoyu Islands (aka, Senkaku Islands). No Japanese response has been reported in English language media.
Comment: The Chinese coast guard is patrolling daily in the Senkakus.
North Korea: South Korean press reported that during his visit to Beijing in May North Korean Vice Marshal Choe Ryong-hae, a favorite of Kim Jong Un proposed "four-party talks" to China. The report contained no mention of the Chinese response to the proposal, but apparently China rejected it because Chinese officials called for the early resumption of Six Party Talks.
Comment: The four party proposal explains how North Korea could announce its willingness to talk about its nuclear program and try to reassure the Chinese of its good intentions, while publicly and explicitly rejecting the Six Party Talks. North Korean leaders attempted a subterfuge with the Chinese, which backfired.
North Korean media reported that on Tuesday, North Korea's first vice foreign minister Kim Kye-gwan "had a friendly talk" with China's chief nuclear negotiator Wu Dawei in Pyongyang.
Comment: Chinese President Xi Jinping has stated publicly his support for the resumption of Six Party Talks. Readers may be confident that Wu Dawei conveyed Chinese expectations that the North will comply.
Pakistan-Afghanistan: The Chinese news serviceXinhuapublished a report on the outcome of talks between Afghan President Karzai and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Excerpts follow.
"Pakistan said Tuesday that Afghan Taliban insurgents are unwilling to talk to Karzai government and its peace negotiators at least for now."
"The statement came hours after Afghan President Hamid Karzai concluded a two-day visit to Pakistan that was focused on efforts to encourage Taliban to come to the negotiating table."
"Karzai's spokesman, Aimal Faizi, said in Islamabad that Karzai had pressed for Islamabad's help to bring Taliban leaders to the negotiating table."
"Afghan government claims that leaders of Taliban are living in Pakistan and that Islamabad should use influence on them and facilitate direct talks between Taliban and Afghan High Peace Council."

Today the Bush Administration, together with the Sharon-Peres government, is pushing the view that Sharon's withdrawal and expulsion plan for Gaza and northern Samaria is aligned with the Bush Doctrine. Among the Palestinians and the Israelis, however, it is becoming increasingly clear with each passing day that not only is there no connection between the two, but that there is a glaring contradiction.
This week, Israeli Arab parliamentarian Azmi Bishara's Web site, www.Arabs1948.com, published an interview with Hamas spokesman Ahmed al-Bahar in which he discussed the significance of Sharon's plan. Bahar claimed, "The painful and qualitative blows which the Palestinian resistance dealt to the Jews and their soldiers over the past four and a half years led to the decision to withdraw from the Gaza Strip."
"All indications show that since its establishment, Israel has never been in such a state of retreat and weakness as it is today, following more than four years of the intifada," he continued. "Hamas's heroic attacks exposed the weakness and volatility of the impotent Zionist security establishment. The withdrawal marks the end of the Zionist dream and is a sign of the moral and psychological decline of the Jewish state. We believe that the resistance is the only way to pressure the Jews."
There can be no clearer exposition than Bahar's statement of the Palestinian view that Israel's plan to hand over strategic assets to its enemy in the midst of war and receive nothing in return is a victory for terror.
From the political developments of the past couple of weeks inside of Israel it is clear that the overwhelming majority of Israelis also view Sharon's plan as a victory for terrorism. So it is that without exception, the entire left wing of the political spectrum, with the support of the anti-Zionist Arab MKs and the post-Zionist Yahad faction, supports Sharon's plan.
And almost without exception, every member of the right wing of the Israeli political spectrum either opposes Sharon's plan or demands that a national referendum on the plan be held before any withdrawal of forces or expulsion of Israeli citizens is carried out in Gaza and northern Samaria.
It took a while for the significance of Sharon's plan to become clarified for Israelis. As recently as last month, voices on the Left were still questioning whether Sharon had something up his sleeve that they didn't know about. Yet as time passed, and Sharon became increasingly shrill in his defense of his policies ? while demonizing and firing anyone who voiced opposition to or doubt about the wisdom of his plans ? its significance sunk in for everyone. As a result, today it is well nigh impossible to find an Israeli or a Palestinian who will argue that Sharon's withdrawal plan can in any way be linked to, or made to agree with, the Bush Doctrine.
Given the total disconnect between the Bush Doctrine, which places the onus for change on the Arabs by calling for their democratization and eschewal of terrorism, and the Sharon plan, which makes no demands whatsoever on the Palestinians, it was interesting to see an attempt to conflate the two undertaken by as remarkable an intellectual and as heroic a figure as Norman Podhoretz.
In the April issue of Commentary magazine, Podhoretz, who has been a towering intellectual model for me throughout my career, argues that there is a way to view the Sharon plan as part of the Bush Doctrine. He claims that after Israel removes the Jewish communities from Gaza and northern Samaria, the Palestinians will be held to the Bush Doctrine's policy of democratization ? and that Israel won't be forced to make any additional concessions until the Palestinians reform. He argues that if the Palestinians continue to attack Israel after the IDF evacuates the Jewish communities and withdraws from the areas, Israel will be free to take any action it deems necessary to secure itself. He claims that because of Bush's commitment to the Bush Doctrine, the Arab world will now be forced to enact reforms that will transform the Palestinians' operating environment in a manner that will force them to give up terror.
While it is possible to debate the merits of each of the points he makes in favor of the plan, what is most interesting about Podhoretz's analysis of Sharon's plan is the point he does not address. Podhoretz never discusses what Israel is actually accomplishing ? for itself ? by going forward with Sharon's withdrawal and expulsion plan. Again, as is now clear to all Israelis and Palestinians, the reason it is impossible to discuss what Israel is actually gaining from Sharon's plan is because Israel is gaining nothing from it.
Knesset Member Uzi Landau, who leads Sharon's opposition in Likud, flew to the US last week to speak to American Jewish audiences. He spoke mainly to local groups, as he explains that the main Jewish organizations ? the United Jewish Communities and AIPAC ? have refused to allow any opponents of Sharon's plan to address their audiences. This, he says, is the result of pressure on the groups by Sharon's office.
"What I found every time that I spoke," Landau relates, "is that the American Jews had absolutely no knowledge of the problems with Sharon's plan. No one has ever discussed them. No one has ever been afforded the opportunity to discuss what will happen the day after Israeli forces pull out of Gaza. No one has ever been able to talk to them about the financial and security and political costs of the plan. No one has ever been allowed to discuss with them the ecological consequences of the plan."
Given the fact that in Israel it took time before the significance of Sharon's plan was fully understood, it makes sense that in the US it could take a bit longer for the strategic logic ? or irrationality ? of Sharon's plan to become clear.
When the Rabin-Peres government announced the Oslo process 12 years ago -- a plan which involved giving the PLO land, legitimacy and arms in exchange for intangible promises of peace -- American supporters of Israel ? both Jewish and non-Jewish ? were quick to declare either their support for or opposition to Oslo. The vast majority supported it. Once they had publicly declared their support for the policy, even when it literally began blowing up in Israel's face, they refused to countenance that they were wrong to have done so.
The fact that the current policy of expulsion and retreat is being enacted by Sharon ? the great general and right-wing tactician ? is a source of confusion for many who are looking for a catch that will explain and justify his adoption of a radical, left-wing plan. Hopefully, once the supporters of Israel like Podhoretz, who were brave enough to ignore the conformist pressures and oppose Oslo come to accept the fact that Sharon's policy involves many risks but provides no opportunities, they will not hesitate to disavow it. And again, hopefully, at that point they will demand that the US policy toward the Palestinians be brought into line with the Bush Doctrine.

Absolutely outstanding! How long was the shutter open for?
Thank you so much, Alan. It was the best of a series of pictures I took of this motif. I put the camera on a rounded hand rail, started the self timer and waited while holding the cam. The shutter speed was 1/8 seconds but I also increased the saturation and the contrast. Fortunately, the sky was also red coloured. The EXIF data is included in the image. Do not wonder at the time stamp, I forgot to change the clock when I travelled to NYC. So it was after midnight in Germany when I released the shutter :-)
Wow! Fantastic picture! This has to be a really great moment!
Thank you, Kojak! Yes, it was an incredible moment and I am lucky to been there right in time. I am happy that I did not edit anything but some settings in my non-dslr camera.
Nominated for the Panoramio Elections,
Good luck! Alan
Great colors in this photo! This photo must be taken in the springtime, as that's usually when you get such vivid colors in New York at sunset. Greetings from Rome, Luka

Appetite Moon
This Taurus moon of appetites may overstimulate a few who let their greed get the best of them. Most people are good and are doing their best to improve. Don't let a couple of shady characters shake your belief in humanity. "Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." — Mahatma Gandhi
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have the power to shape the way people work together. Your own success will depend on your ability to get others to commit to and deliver on a common goal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be drawn to the things that deepen and widen your sense of self. Loving, exploring, reading and writing are some of the endeavors that help you expand the depths of your soul.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The decent thing to do is to show up and try to do the right thing. Sometimes this seems like the bare minimum requirement for being a good person, although right now it's more like a herculean effort.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone around you will feel the direction your energy leans in, though it may be difficult for you to objectively see it. That's why any feedback you get from them is valuable and actionable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you're with that special someone who delights you, your senses come alive. Your mind becomes at once active, open and intentional. Your energy becomes playful. Maybe you're in love!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're too vigilant of a person to accept that life is about sheer enjoyment. However, the small things you do to make your experience just a little bit nicer will increase the pleasure level for you and those around you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The deadline just ahead doesn't scare you in the least; in fact, it has a way of pulling you forward. You'll work faster than ever and with great clarity of thought.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life experience makes you a better worker, artist and person. Also, there's no substitute — you can't get life experience in a book. Strive to pick up firsthand knowledge wherever you can get it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don't let your options intimidate you. These are not irreversible choices. Whichever way you go, you can always decide differently tomorrow or next week.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ancient history and people you used to know will influence your current experience. Remember the past, and then release it so it doesn't keep you stuck. Onward to new adventures!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you bouncing from project to project, not seeing anything through to its conclusion? Not everything should be pursued to its conclusion. Today it's more important to explore.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Avoid thinking in absolutes. There is more than one way to create the life you want. Your next breakthrough is born out of a willingness to try different methods and walk new paths.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 22). You'll be inspired to change your style and upgrade your level of organization next month. There's a breakthrough in your professional life in August, and you'll spend most of September adjusting to your good luck. October features fun relationships and new respect from your family and friends. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 21, 24, 5 and 14.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: It is the first full week of the Cancer solar journey for 2014, and the main theme is home, sweet home — specifically, how to make it better. There's a compassionate and maternal energy in the heavens to support our sense of belonging. This motherly vibe is also like the voice of conscience that suggests we clean up, get along and do the basic maintenance to achieve a pleasant domestic existence.
Mercury is still retrograde, and yet with the new moon in Cancer on June 27, it doesn't feel right to forestall the projects that will make our lives more beautiful, comfortable and smooth. Whatever stands between you and domestic bliss, this is the time to clear it up. For some, relationships need to be healed, and this is the perfect time to forgive and forget. This is a process, so don't expect that one grand gesture or decision will make everything better. Instead, think of the long term. With small and constant improvements, we eventually will get to a harmonious and lovely place.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: She is widely considered to be the world's greatest living actress, but moonchild Meryl Streep is too modest to let such praise keep her from exploring new artistic territory. This year she'll return to musical roots as the witch in the Christmas release of the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods." Streep was born when the sun, Venus and Uranus were all in soulful, maternal Cancer.

While attempting to write a simple bash script to help with my deployment process, I ran in to a confusing error:
WEEKDAY=$(date +'%u')
echo $WEEKDAY
echo $DAYS_TO_WEDNESDAY
Results in:
")syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "
The strangest part of it is that I could swear that this very script ran perfectly well some days ago.
The issue was not with the bash script, but with using SVN through TortoiseSVN. The detour through Windows changed EOL markers to "CR LF", which result in syntax errors in bash. Setting svn:eol-style -property helps avoid further similar issues.

text: I would like to reply to Robert Wahl (Reader Input, Jan. 2) who apparently feels that global warming is a conspiratorial myth perpetuated by the government, liberals, Democrats, the mass media and various assorted anti-growth fanatics. He points to local temperatures during the last few years being cooler than normal as being proof that global warming is just a bunch of hooey. Robert needs to review the mean temperature values for the entire world and not just Auburn. He would find that global temperatures from January through November 2010 were the warmest in history since record-keeping began in 1880. Higher temperatures in the high latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Canada, Alaska, the tropical Atlantic Ocean, the Middle East, eastern Europe and northern Africa, make up for any El Niño-affected cooling regionally. Lastly, Robert mentions that the sun is going into a "deep freeze" that will overcome any man-made global warming effect. He is talking about the 11-year solar cycle, in which the minimum sunspot activity was lower than expected during the current cycle. A few solar researchers believe a period of lower solar activity is possible. Others believe it is just conjecture. It is just as possible that a deep minimum will set off high activity for the next cycle. Even if lower activity occurred, there is debate whether it will even affect earth's climate to any extent.

It had a little of everything--drama, romance, poignant emotion, and a good overall message to never give up on any good thing in life. Also, it had a happy ending that left me feeling satisfied, but there's still room for a season 2 in my opinion--lots of facets to the relationships in this anime that can still be explored.Read more

The romance in this anime is not directly one man and one woman, the idea and logic behind the romance that is played in this anime is a key letting the audience know ...
From an avid anime/manga fan: I loved it.Sakurasou had almost everything that I looked for in a romance/adolescent/slice of life anime. A main character with 2 or more girls all over him, romance at every corner, troubled background stories for all of the main characters, tear jerkers, comedy, and everything. I've been watching multiple anime of the same genre, but i'd have to say that this one definitely ranks at the top.

I just finished watching this, and I gotta say, it's probably going to be one of my favorite anime. I'm really glad I decided to start watching this again from the beginning. (I was watching it before, but I forgot to go back to it and didn't end up finishing the whole series.)

Woah! Was not expecting such a great show! I'll definitely be watching this again someday!I came in expecting something silly, but wow! The characters in this show are some of the most likeable that I have seen in anime of this genre so far (yes, I'm looking at you, ToraDora).

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
Following a federal court of appeals decision, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) today issued a final rule removing regulation of asbestos-containing roofing cements, mastics and coatings from the OSHA standards for occupational exposure to asbestos in construction and shipyard work.
The Asbestos Information Association/ North America petitioned for court review of the requirements in the construction and maritime standards for work practices, training and hazard communication for asphalt roof coatings and sealants which contain asbestos. In a decision on July 24, 1997, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the standards' regulation of those materials. The court held that there was a lack of substantial evidence that asphalt roof coatings and sealants containing asbestos posed a risk of asbestos exposure.
OSHA is amending the standards to conform the regulations to the court's decision. A statement is added to both standards that they do not apply to those materials and in sections of the standards covering alternative work practices, OSHA is deleting references to those materials. Because OSHA has no discretion in the matter, notice and opportunity for public comment are not necessary, the agency said.
The action is published in the Monday, June 29, 1998, Federal Register.

Specific to your 'refresh' question:Time outs and page refreshes - Web Access Centre [rnib.org.uk]:
People who use screen readers or refreshable braille displays may find page refreshes or time-outs confusing or disorientating as it is not always clear what is happening. Part of this confusion is due to the fact that changes are occurring with the page without the user having interacted with the page or triggered and change themselves.
* Warn users that a page will refresh or time-out.
* Provide an on / off switch on pages that automatically refresh for those users that do not want it to refresh.
* Combo-boxes that trigger page refreshes should not be used. For menus that use drop-down combo-boxes, provide a 'Go' button.
* Server-side page refreshes should always be used rather than client-side page refreshes.
Much more helpful detail on that page.

Metadata - Web Access Centre [rnib.org.uk]
...metadata provides important contextual information for people navigating your site, especially those with screen readers who rely on things such as page titles, structured page headings, and lists.
Note: this is why 'keywords' especially should be few and explicit to the page. No general re-iteration of the dictionary or generic 'all my sites keywords on every page'. And why a good 'description' is valuable beyond directory or SE snippets.
Metadata (tags) have not lost relevance simply because one or more SEs discounts/ignores one or another.
If you're talking about redirecting to another page, it can be confusing as well unless you leave a long enough gap so that the user can hear that he's being redirected. The screen reader will start by reading the title bar. Depending on how the user prefers to navigate he can jump paragraph by paragraph or heading by heading or just have the page read in full. In any case, unless he has time to get to the point where he's told that he's about to be redirected he may get confused as he'll hear a title read, start to navigate and then hear another title read and won't know what's happened or how he got to the page he's on or what happened to the page he thought he was on.
Have you ever been on dialup? Try downloading something while on an auto-refreshing site and see if you don't agree. Especially when it causes you're 40MB download to be lost.

i am trying to validate a field depending on attributes from the associated model. looking at the code will make more sense (i hope)
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :user_groups
has_one :profile, :dependent => :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :profile
validates_associated \
:allow_destroy => true
class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
validates_presence_of \
:if => self.user.user_groups.first.name == 'Client'
when i submit the form to create a new user, i get
undefined method `user_groups' for nil:NilClass
basically i only want to validate the presence of the field business_name if i am creating a new client.
i have also tried using
:if => Proc.new { |p| p.user.user_groups.first.name == 'Clients' }
with the same results.
maybe i am barking up entirely the wrong tree, but any suggestions on accomplishing this?

Kathleen Eileen Moray Gray (9 August 1878 – 31 October 1976) was an Irish furniture designer and architect and a pioneer of the Modern Movement in architecture.
Gray was born as Katherine Eileen Moray Smith on 9 August 1878, near Enniscorthy, a market town in south-eastern Ireland. Her father, James McLaren Smith, was a painter[1] who encouraged his daughter's artistic interests. Her mother was Eveleen Pounden, a granddaughter of Francis Stuart, 10th Earl of Moray; she became the 19th Baroness Gray in 1895, upon the death of her own mother, née Lady Jane Stuart. After that, Lady Gray, who had separated from her husband in 1888, changed her children's surname to Gray.[2][3]
Gray had four siblings:
- James McLaren Stuart Gray, 20th Baron Gray (1864–1919)
- Ethel Eveleen Gray, 21st Baroness Gray (1866–1946), married Henry Tufnell Campbell
- Captain Lonsdale Richard Douglas Gray (1870–1900)
- Thora Zelma Grace Gray (1875–1966), married Edward Lorne Frederick Clough-Taylor[4]
Gray spent most of her childhood living in the family's homes in Ireland or South Kensington in London.
In 1898, Gray attended classes at the Slade School of Fine Art, where she studied painting. While there, she met Jessie Gavin and Kathleen Bruce. In 1900 her father died and she went on her first visit to Paris with her mother, where she saw the Exposition Universelle, a World's fair that celebrated the achievements of the past century. The main style at the fair was Art Nouveau and Gray was a fan of the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh which was on exhibit. Soon after, Gray moved to Paris along with her friends Gavin and Bruce from the Slade School. She continued her studies in Paris at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi. For four or five years after the move, Gray travelled back and forth from Paris to Ireland to London, but in 1905, due to her mother's illness, she settled back in London. She rejoined the Slade but found her drawing and painting courses were becoming less satisfying.
Working with lacquer[edit]
Gray came across a lacquer repair shop in Soho, in London, where she asked the shop owner, D. Charles, whether he could show her the fundamentals of lacquer work, as it had taken her fancy. The owner had many contacts from the lacquer industry and when Gray moved back to Paris in 1906 to an apartment where she remained for much of her working life, she met one of them, Seizo Sugawara. He came from an area of Japan known for its decorative lacquer work and had emigrated to Paris to repair the lacquer work exhibited in the Exposition Universelle. She found after working with Sugawara for four years that she had developed lacquer disease on her hands, but she persisted in her work and it was not until 1913, when she was thirty-five, that she exhibited any of her lacquer work. When she did, however, it was a success.
In 1914, when World War I broke out, Gray moved back to London, taking Sugawara with her.
Apartment in the Rue de Lota and the Bibendum Chair[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (February 2010)
After the war Gray and Sugawara returned to Paris. There Gray was given the job of decorating an apartment in the rue de Lota for a milliner, Madame Mathieu Lévy, who was a successful boutique owner. The re-design was hoped to be new and original, with innovative designs. The process took four years from 1917 to 1921. Gray designed most of its furniture (including her famous Bibendum chair), carpets and lamps, and installed lacquered panels on the walls. Gray made a point of using plain coverings for the furniture she designed which included, along with the Bibendum Chair, the Serpent Chair and the Pirogue Boat Bed. Her intent was that the apartment would not look too cluttered or messy and that the eye would be drawn, first of all, to the tribal art on display. The result was favourably reviewed by several art critics who saw it as innovative. Given a boost from the success of the apartment, Gray opened up a small shop in Paris, Jean Desert, to exhibit and sell her work and that of her artist friends.
Gray's innovative Bibendum Chair was one of the 20th century's most recognisable furniture designs. Its back/arm rest consists of two semi-circular, padded tubes encased in soft leather. The name that Gray chose for the chair, originates from the Bibendum character created by Michelin to advertise tyres. The Bibendum Chair was relatively large; its depth approximately 840mm and its height 740 mm tall. The visible part of the frame of the Bibendum was made of a polished, chromium plated, stainless steel tube. The framing of the actual seat was made of beechwood and there was rubber webbing that was inter-woven across the base of the seat to provide added comfort. The seat, back and arm rests encased in soft, pale leather.
The Bibendum Chair was designed as part of the modernist movement which was completely different from Gray's earlier, more traditional work. She decided to make the change in style to simply make "progress". The art critics loved the chair and reviews in papers and magazines exclaimed that it was a "triumph of modern living". Madame Lévy's commission provided a great financial success for Gray, and thanks to this, she no longer needed to rely on her family's financial support.
Houses in the south of France[edit]
Shortly thereafter, persuaded by Jean Badovici, she turned her interests to architecture. In 1924 Gray and Badovici began work on the house E-1027 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in southern France (near Monaco). The name E-1027 stands for the names of the couple: E for Eileen, 10 for Jean (J is the tenth letter of the alphabet), 2 for Badovici and 7 for Gray.[5] Rectilinear and flat-roofed with floor-to-ceiling and ribbon windows and a spiral stairway descending to a guest room, E-1027 was both compact and open.
Gray designed the furniture as well as collaborating with Badovici on its structure. Her circular glass E-1027 table was inspired by the recent tubular steel experiments of Marcel Breuer at the Bauhaus (who had been inspired, in turn, by Mart Stam).
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Gray was involved with the Union des Artistes Modernes which had well-known members. She designed and furnished herself a new home, Tempe à Pailla, outside Menton. This is another icon of Modernist architecture, a space designed for her to dwell and work, a living/working machine as she wanted it, a space which could be constantly changed with multi-purpose furniture.
In 1937, she agreed to exhibit her design for a holiday centre in Le Corbusier's Esprit Nouveau pavilion at the Paris Exposition.
During World War II Gray, along with other foreigners, was forced to evacuate from the coast of France and move inland. After the war she discovered that her flat in Saint-Tropez had been blown up and that E1027 had been looted.
Le Corbusier was impressed by the house and built a summer house nearby. At Badovici's behest, Le Corbusier painted several colourful murals on the wall of the building. Gray vehemently disapproved of the murals as they destroyed the integrity of the wall planes.[5]
The house has been in poor repair for years, but plans for its renovation are being prepared by the French government who have designated it a French National Cultural Monument. As a result, the state of France and the city of Roquebrune Cap Martin – through the national agency "Conservatoire du Littoral"[6] – bought the villa in 1999 and made it secure provisionally. The building is being restored through an initiative of the state of France, the department Alpes Maritimes, and the city of Roquebrune (bearing 50% / 10% / 40% of the expenses).
The 'Tempe à Pailla' House[edit]
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Gray designed and furnished herself a new home, 'Tempe à Pailla' (43°48′08″N 7°29′05″E / 43.8022883°N 7.4848115°E), outside Menton. This is another icon of Modernist architecture, a space designed for her to dwell and work in, a living/working machine as she wanted it, a space which could be constantly changed with multi-purpose furniture.
Gray loved a challenge; it is believed that was why she chose such a difficult site. She built on existing structures which anchored the house, based her house on ship structures, using forms that were long and narrow, many decks for views and levels for storage. Gray was sociable, she took advantage of the entertaining space for her guests and incorporated views of the city and the sea with balconies and large windows. However, she also enjoyed her privacy and this can be seen in the plans of 'Tempe à Pailla' by looking at where she chose to position her rooms. The bedrooms, service rooms and courtyard were tucked away at the back, revealing a tranquil view of the distant mountains. It was almost as if the house could be split in half, one side public and the other private. She treated the outside space the same way she treated the inside space, using the same tiles and the same material inside and out. She designed each room with regard to where she would receive the most sunlight or the least, and incorporated a way in which she could control the light in certain rooms: in the bedroom a circle could be moved according to the amount of light she wanted to enter the room, almost like an eclipse, as if she had her own sun to play with.
Post World War II[edit]
Gray returned to Paris and led a reclusive life. She continued to work on new projects, but was almost forgotten by the design industry. In 1968, a complimentary magazine article drew attention to her accomplishments, and Gray agreed to production of her Bibendum chair and E-1027 table as well as numerous other pieces with Zeev Aram. They were soon to become modern furniture classics.
When she was around seventy Gray started to lose her sight and hearing, yet, when she was eighty she transformed a dilapidated agricultural shed outside Saint-Tropez into a summer home; she soon moved there and continued to work. Shortly before her death, Gray's work was shown in an exhibition in London. At the age of ninety-eight, Gray died in her apartment on rue Bonaparte in Paris.
Following the purchase of her archive in 2002, the National Museum of Ireland[7] at Collins Barracks, Dublin opened a permanent exhibition of her work. On 8 November 1972, the Doucet sale added to the interest which continues to this day in the 'antiques' of the twentieth century. Gray's 'Le Destin' screen was featured in the sale and went for $36,000. Collectors entered the chase, and Yves Saint Laurent's interest completed the mythification of her image.
In February 2009, a "Dragons" armchair made by Gray between 1917 and 1919 (acquired by her early patron Suzanne Talbot and later part of the Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé collection) was sold at auction in Paris for 21.9 million euros (US$28.3 million), setting an auction record for 20th century decorative art.[8][9][10]
Personal life[edit]
Gray was bisexual. She mixed in the lesbian circles of the time, being associated with Romaine Brooks, Gabrielle Bloch, Loie Fuller, the singer Damia and Natalie Barney.[11] Gray's intermittent relationship with Damia (or Marie-Louise Damien) ended in 1938, after which they never saw each other again, although both lived into their nineties in the same city. Gray also had for some time an intermittent relationship with Jean Badovici, the Romanian architect and writer.[12] He had written about her design work in 1924 and encouraged her interest in architecture. Their romantic involvement ended in 1932.[13] Gray remained active into her 90s, working up to fourteen hours a day refining her portfolio and organizing her various furniture designs and projects.[14] Gray died in 1976, at the age of 98, in Paris. Her ashes were interred at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in eastern Paris.[14]

Editor's Review
Castor & Pollux Organix Organic Cat Treats combine an appealing flavor with a top-quality ingredient list.
February 22, 2011 5:12 pm | By Zootoo Editor CynthiaLo
As you can probably tell from its name, Castor & Pollux Organix Organic Cat Treats are, above all else, organic. Almost every ingredient, from the chicken to the flaxseed, has the word "organic" in front of it… and if that isn't enough to reassure you, the proud stamp of "USDA Organic" should convince you that these are top-quality treats.
So how do Organix Cat Treats taste? If your cat is anything like our tester cat, he will flip for the real meaty taste and hard, chewy texture of Organix Cat Treats. Watching our tester cat devour the drumstick-shaped bite and beg for more reminded me of myself getting a taste of beef jerky when I was a kid… although these cat treats are far healthier than what I was eating!
The A-list ingredient list of Castor & Pollux's Organix Cat Treats includes brown rice, flaxseed and oats — all great sources of fiber — as well as such savory extras as peas and rosemary extract. Even better is what's *not* on the ingredient list: artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.
Simply put, the folks at Castor & Pollux have done a fantastic job crafting a delicious treat out of 100% natural ingredients, and I give them a high-paw-five for "going organic" — better for the planet, and better for your cat.
Pros: All-natural ingredients; 95% organic; cats love the taste.
Cons: None.

Treats filled with happiness
posted 7 years ago
My kitten LOVES these treats; he comes running from two rooms away if he hears the bag. I've triple-bagged it, hid it in my purse and somehow he always manages to find it. He loves the chicken flavor. My boyfriend says they must have somehow figured out how to put happiness into the treats because he starts purring the second he eats it (and won't stop until he realizes he's not getting anymore).
I love these treats because he loves eating them and I don't feel guilty about giving the treats to him (because it's healthy). The ingredients are natural and organic; it's safe to feed him this without having to worry about health consequences.
Pros: it's healthy, my kitten LOVES it,
Cons: None

Event PR has many definitions. Some define it as event management; others consider it to be nothing more than a journalist party tacked onto an industry conference or forum. When a trusted partnership exists between the event organiser and their agency, a solid PR approach can help turn an event into the "story of the week."
When we were hired a few months ago to support communications for the XV International Aids Conference in Bangkok, we knew this was not going to be just another event. With speakers and delegates ranging from Aids activists, pharmaceutical company CEOs, HIV-positive teenagers, politicians, Hollywood actors, prominent scientists and world leaders, the challenge was to deliver sustainable messages that always led back to the conference.
Our client, the International Aids Society, needed to anticipate and deal with politically and emotionally-charged issues, prepare key spokespeople for controversial questions, break the media registration and delegate attendance record and put Aids back on the world agenda. Essentially, this amounted to more than event management - but a requirement for every PR tool and strategy at our disposal to help them make world headlines.
To bring the issues of an event to the surface in the news media requires an intensive fight for share of voice among your target journalists. They need to feel compelled to put your event on their calendar so they don't miss the chance to cover the angles coming out of it. Putting things into perspective and context also helps shape the agenda for media coverage.
If the event organiser is your client, you also need to find the tricky balance of emphasising the most interesting angles while staying as neutral as possible to avoid appearing on the side of a particular sponsor or constituency.
Continuing to monitor ongoing media coverage leading up to the event will also help you shape the type of angles you want to focus on with your client during the actual event. Knowing what is hitting the buttons can help you position emerging news in a more targeted way so that information naturally folds into the ongoing coverage.
A few other traditional tactics must be included in your approach. For regional or global media outreach, consider how to tailor your messages and key angles to those audiences, with relevant facts, trends and spokespeople.
Let photojournalists and camera crews know when and where the best photo opportunities will happen during the event. No matter what the subject of your event, always prepare statements in advance to respond to negative developments or media coverage - and for as many as you can anticipate.
Most importantly, don't think of the assignment as an event. Think about how you're going to get under the skin of the most compelling, news-making issues and raise those to the surface. Don't let go until you're the talk of the town.

In 2008, more than 17,000 trees were collected nationwide and donated to Trees for Troops, a component of Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, which is a nonprofit branch of the National Christmas Tree Association. The trees were mailed to 53 bases; two overseas. This year, Julie Liebmann, owner of Rockinghorse Farm in Jamesville, took part in the 5-year-old program.
"I donated three trees from here," she said. "There are many, many growers who just donate a few because we're not huge growers, but we want to do something to give back."
Local Girl Scout troops from across Central New York also joined in giving. The girls gathered at the Jamesville Fire Station on Veterans Day to make the troops ultimately more than 300 ornaments. The trimmings were shipped along with the trees via Fed Ex, which donated delivery trucks.
"If people want to donate trees, they can always put money down for next year's collection," Liebmann said. Prices range from about $37 to $45 per tree.
A Cazenovia native, who's been a Jamesville resident for 21 years, Liebmann opened Mrs. Green Jean's Landscaping Company on Apulia Road almost 30 years ago. The nursery shortly followed.
Rockinghorse Farm offers homeowners a variety of spruce, firs and pine trees from which to choose. Customers have the option of cutting down their own tree or selecting one of many pre-cut trees on hand. Each year, the farm opens for business the four weekends leading up to Christmas. Hours run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays or by appointment. Call 492-1100.

SummaryA valiant effort, doesn't quite cut it
The GoodThis is about as good as graphics get on Super Nintendo. Also, it's Doom. There's nothing I can tell you about this game that hasn't already been said. It's arguably the greatest PC game ever made ported onto your SNES, and there's nothing wrong with that in theory.
The BadThe execution is a different story. Doom, as it is, surpasses the Super Nintendo's capabilities, which means sacrifices were made in porting to a 16-bit system. Textural detail is lackluster, and a lot of lighting effects were nixed in an effort to smooth out the gameplay.
Unfortunately, it didn't really work. Playing the SNES port is like dragging your feet through the mud. When onscreen combat gets a little hectic, the frame rate drops and controller response becomes alarmingly slow. To top it off, only 2/3rds of the screen is used, framed in a black box that is quite noticeable.
Because of limited sound functionality, ambiance and sound effects overlap and cut each other off. The simplified MIDI soundtrack stutters and somehow sounds offbeat the entire time.

Any "study help" on IL pesticide test appreiacted
I'm going to be taking the "General Standards " & "right-of-way" in Jan 08. Anyone have any helpful tips, study suggestions that might help? The math formulas are giving me fits..... Is there a "practice test" on-line somewhere that i could use to help me?
Not sure about your state- In KY, if you have worked around spraying or have any real hands-on experience at all PRIOR to the exam you can pass blindfolded.
We have to know weed IDs, sq footage calcs, different types of pesticides (WP, etc), SPILL RULES!!! Um..... protective clothing, bla bla bla. It is pretty common sense stuff.
Thanks PerfectEarth. I grew up farming at home and for neighbors, but that was 30 yrs ago. I have been studing the study books, but trying to remember the calc formulas are just killing me.
Go to one of the day courses provided by the state. You should then be able to easily pass them on the first try.
read the gen. stds. book 4 times a day, for the 4 days prior to the test. take the rights of way another day but study the same way. I passed first time w/ a 91/100 now I have r.o.w. (90) turf (90) ornamentals (88) mosquito (88) studied the same way for all of them. Get the study work book too for all the tests you take, use it the same way. Don't take the classes. I've known more guys who thought all they needed was the class, they still do aerations and mow.... only. work at it and learn as much as you possibly can, you can really screw up alot of stuff applicating. contact me if you have any specific questions... firstname.lastname@example.com Nate
Thanks for the replys guys. I have the general standards on the 7th and the r.o.w on the 8th of January. Those 2 days are the only dates that they are offering the testing and class in our area, so i guess i will be doing ALOT of reading from now until the 7th.
is there a pretest that you can take
Holy thread revival!
No there is not official pretest. Just study study study, take the class then take the test. I didnt study study before the class and I passed but sweated through it.
My off site picture album HERE
Test preparation
This works for me. 1) As you study, write your own test questions. Put one question on each 3x5 inch index card. Write the answer on the back. I have more than a hundred such cards and update them each time the study manual changes. That is here in Oregon, which sells a study manual. 2) Make a glossary that contains technical terms that you are not familiar with. Put on index cards just as with the homemade test questions. 3) On math questions, do any sample calculations over and over until the calculations become second nature. It takes me a lot of time to do well on math, but I do well on the tests mostly by lots of prep time. 4) Have your significant other person ask you questions. My wife does it for me, using my homemade test questions. 5) Underline pertinent parts of any study materials you have. I don't know why that helps, but it seems to help me. 6) Overlearn. The Air Force Personnel Research Center found that overlearning aids long term knowledge retention under stress. What is a test, if not stressful? 7) Put the same question in different forms. If, for example, a question is on calculating areas, work out answers for L shaped land, circular, or square. 8) Focus on your weakest areas. Take the hardest thing you have to learn, and read the material word, by word, by word, until the meaning comes clear. Rewriting the material in your own words sometimes helps. Then study some more until the hard becomes less hard. 9) If you have taken the test before, see if Illinois breaks down your previous test score by broad test topics. If so, you may be able to narrow down what you need to study most for. 10. If you find your test area to be slightly dim, you can get additional light by asking in advance. I do this, and find it helps to have plenty of light. 11. Take a larger than normal size calculator, with big bright numbers to help make calculations easier. 12. Use every minute of allowable test time. Especially, recalculate your numerical answers. 13. Use multiple information sources if your state provides them. I use the test study manual, review the state statutes, and any free handout literature. 14. Try to find out what weights various test topics have in the total grade. You may want to put more study emphasis on the topics that count most in your final grade. I hope one or more of these ideas helps. Best wishes for a successful test outcome.

Bring your car to a dealer immediately. Recalls are issued because the defect might make the car unsafe in some way. Your nearby service center can help verify if the repairs can be performed free of charge.Contact a Service Center
Component: STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
Problem Summary: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (Mitsubishi) is recalling certain model year 2013 Outlander vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, Mitusbishi is recalling certain 2007-2012 Outlander vehicles that received replacement 6-speed automatic transmissions during servicing. The transmissions in these vehicles have insufficient clearance between the power steering pressure tube and the converter housing of the automatic transmission. As a result of the contact, the power steering pressure tube may develop a hole and leak power steering fluid.
Consequence: A power steering fluid leak could result in a loss of steering assistance, increasing the risk of a crash.
What Owners Should Do: Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering pressure tube and return tube, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact Mitsubishi customer service at 1-888-648-7820. Mitsubishi's number for this recall is SR-14-006.
Next Steps: Contact a Service Center Near You
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
Problem Summary: MITSUBISHI IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 OUTLANDER SPORT VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 9, 2011, THROUGH DECEMBER 16, 2011. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE TURN SIGNAL LEVERS IN THE VEHICLE WERE NOT MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE AUTO-CANCEL FUNCTION OF THE TURN SIGNAL BECOMING INOPERATIVE.
Consequence: THE TURN SIGNAL MAY CONTINUE TO SIGNAL AN INTENDED DIRECTIONAL CHANGE AFTER A POINT WHEN THE AUTO-CANCEL FUNCTION, IF OPERATING PROPERLY, WOULD HAVE TERMINATED THE SIGNAL. A FOLLOWING OR ONCOMING DRIVER MAY RECEIVE INACCURATE INDICATIONS OF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR'S INTENDED MANEUVERS, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH BETWEEN VEHICLES DUE TO IMPROPER VEHICLE SIGNALING.
What Owners Should Do: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. NO VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RETAILED TO CUSTOMERS WITH THIS POTENTIAL CONDITION, NO RECALL BULLETIN OR OWNER LETTERS WILL BE PREPARED. YOU MAY CONTACT MITSUBISHI AT 1-800-222-0037.
Next Steps: Contact a Service Center Near You
