Jason Sebion brings a new perspective from a younger generation, along with local knowledge. After graduating from Red Wing High School, Jason attended Minnesota State College Southeast Technical. He graduated from the Heating and Air Conditioning program and then attended Dunwoody Institute, where he completed the Minneapolis Pipefitters Apprenticeship Program. Jason is employed by Division 23 Mechanical Services.
Jason still lives in the neighborhood where he grew up. He represents lifelong neighbors and friends. "I know the people. We all want to maintain our small town atmosphere and keep Red Wing a great place for families."
Jason is focused on strong public safety, as well as the need to boost our tax base by making Red Wing a more attractive place to do business. "New investment means new jobs and new tax revenues, which keeps the lid on property taxes for homeowners."
Jason Sebion wants ongoing input from residents. "I am hoping to maintain a dialogue with citizens that keeps their ideas coming my way. I want to be the council member that everyone feels comfortable calling with any concerns."
Jason and his wife Ramona have two elementary school age children.

I want to be an active advocate for citizen involvement, strengthening Red Wing's economic base, and building on the traditions of our community. I ran on a platform of open government and common sense decision making. Working together, we can make Red Wing stronger now and for our children."

Dean Hove has lived his entire life in Red Wing. He and his wife, Teresa, were longtime owners of the Pantry Restaurant. Having served in the Minnesota National Guard for 10 years, Hove is an active member of the American Legion.
According to Hove, "Everyone in Red Wing has a stake in our city's future. As a lifelong resident, I understand the hard choices facing City Council Members. I believe we can find solutions to our city's financial issues that will still allow us to provide the high level of services we currently enjoy. People expect a good value for their tax dollar. Reasonable taxation is no accident. It takes discipline."
Hove continued, "For several years, friends and neighbors encouraged me to run for City Council. When my wife and I sold our business, I decided I would have the time to give something back to my hometown. Public service has been a very challenging and rewarding opportunity. I am proud to serve."

As one of the fifth generation of Rehders here in Red Wing, I ran to help invigorate our downtown, preserve our historic neighborhoods, and encourage responsible growth and economic development.
Community service is a Rehder family tradition. My grandfather John was instrumental in the building of the original Colvill Swimming Pool. He also served on the St Johns's Hospital Board for many years, as did my father Bob Sr. My mother Loraine volunteered throughout the city, and was a Juvenile Probation Officer for 20 years.
My background includes service on the staff of a U.S. Congressman, Director of Congressional Affairs for the United States Patent and Trademark Office, lobbyist for Minnesota local government entities at both the State and Federal level, Chair of the Goodhue County Solid Waste Advisory Committee, and member of the Board of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. I enjoy volunteer activities in church and throughout our community.

Council Member Ralph Rauterkus and his wife, Mary, chose to move to Mary's hometown 26 years ago. He said, "With its excellent schools, diverse culture and caring citizens it's the ideal community to raise our family and as I travel throughout the region I 'm proud to represent our great city".
Ralph has a wealth of experience in the civic arena and in the private sector. He has served four years on the City Council, two years on the Port Authority, and five years on the Planning Commission. He has 32 years of technical and management experience working in high-tech manufacturing and is the Director of Information Systems at Polar Semiconductor, based in Bloomington. He said, "I have and will continue to put that knowledge and my management experience to work for the citizens of Red Wing".
When asked what his focus will be for his second term, Ralph responded, "During my first term I worked hard to serve our community - with integrity, passion and compassion. My focus is always on setting a solid foundation to position our City for a better tomorrow. I will continue to support healthy growth for our city while still preserving our community character and our natural environment. It will take patience and hard work to lead Red Wing into the future. While there are many challenges ahead, like strengthening the Downtown, expanding our tax base, managing Solid and Nuclear Waste and many more, I'm committed to making decisions based on what is best for the future of our community. Working together we can keep Red Wing strong and vibrant".

Please wait, we are wringing out your results.
You can conserve water indoors by repairing leaks, limiting shower times, running dishwashers only when full, and cleaning laundry only when the washing machine is full.
The greatest opportunities for water conservation can actually be found in your lawn watering schedule. In the summer months lawn watering can account for as much as 65% of total use. Too often, we overwater our lawns. The problem is, most people either water at a schedule that's convenient for them, regardless of their lawn's need for water, or they just don't know how much water a lawn needs and how to deliver it most efficiently. For that reason, we offer the following tips and tools. Most importantly, we request that our residential customers follow a two-day per week watering schedule:
Odd Addresses: Wednesday and SaturdayEven Addresses: Thursday and Sunday
This schedule has a number of benefits: It evenly distributes water use over a weeks time, which helps extend the life of our assets, and it leaves Monday alone - a chance for storage tanks to refill after a weekend of heavy water use.
If you would prefer to install an irrigation system, use our guidelines to help make your decision.

Media Fatigue...
fieryprophet replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersThe biggest mistake I made was looking forward to the Panthers finally hogging all the sports coverage reserved for teams like the Seahawks and Patriots. NOPE. There's been tons of coverage, and the vast majority of it has been utterly retarded garbage.
As a sidenote, this is why, despite having an absurd amount of Panthers memorabilia, and having met a number of Panthers players in various settings, I don't have a single autographed item. I have had far more meaningful moments where instead of being a "fan" I just treated them like regular human beings, didn't ask for anything whatsoever, and got an actual conversation and a genuine smile rather than a hurried scribble on a piece of paper.
They understand he's kinda preoccupied this week, right? I once did a long speaking tour and had to handle about 30 to 40 different random conversations a night where people asked me the same set of questions as if I had never heard them before. . .by the end of the week I was ready to swear off human contact forever. I can't imagine being an actual celebrity.
He's under no obligation to do anything for anyone. Sucks when you're among the ones he says "no" to when you see so many others he has said "yes" to, but that's the reality of being a superstar whose constantly hounded for attention even in times when you just want some time to yourself. Protip: if you want to get on a celebrity's good side, treat them like you would anyone else. If they're in private moment, leave them be. If they reach out to you, cool; if not, live your own life.

Is a supplement in glycinate form the same as an "amino acid chelate"?
Commented on July 04, 2014
Created July 04, 2014 at 2:36 AM
Was comparing these 2 boron supplements and was wondering if they both contain the same active ingredient?
Natures way: Boron (as Boron amino acid chelate)
Pure encapsulations: Boron (as boron glycinate)
I would assume so based on this:
Chelation, in relation to this subject, is the pharmaceutical process of bonding a mineral to an amino acid. When this is done, the absorption and "bioavailability" of the mineral may be increased, meaning that the delivery of the mineral and its usability by the body can be enhanced:
For all the concern over excitotoxins, you'd think there'd be scientific support for their effect from diet.

yep, they are both boron.
i would go with the pure encapsulations brand. glycinate is one of the better chelates (from what i have read).
with the nature's way supp, you do not know what the chelate is, they probably go with the cheapest product they can get (which could vary between batches).
i prefer to know what has been used as the chelate, going with glycinate if i have the chioce (& avoiding excitotoxin chelates like aspartate, glutamate & cysteine (tho i've never seen cysteine used as a chelate in a supp), just a personal (paranoid perhaps) thing).
the cheaper supp brands tend not to list the chelate info. & when you email them, probably tell you its propriety info.
For all the concern over excitotoxins, you'd think there'd be scientific support for their effect from diet.
Glycine is an amino acid, glycinate means it's a salt of glycine. You can form a chelate with any amino acid.
If it doesn't say "glycinate" on the bottle, I wouldn't assume that it's just a glycinate chelate. Boron in aspartate form could be described as an "amino acid chelate", which is probably a bioavailable / useful form, though I think glycine is a friendlier amino acid.

Locking Bauble clip
by johnnyfp, published
0 ShareDownload This Thing!
Thing Info
In anticipation of the festive season, and the fact that we have a pounce on anything that remotely looks pouncable, cat, I needed to make some lockable bauble clips.
So here is a design for one. These can be made out of PLA if you want and thus when the tree gets thrown out you can throw the clips out as well. But they are also reuseable if you plan on making them out of ABS
Print raftless. As it doesn't really matter that they warp or are not level and will save you hours separating the clip from the raft.
Also only do the lower branches that are in a cats reach.

Our annual expeditions run for five months, between January and July. During this time we visit nine African countries, travelling by road, and we work with thousands of children and hundreds of local staff.
You can apply to be part of our international team of volunteers for anything from 3 weeks to the full five month project, joining us at any stage of our journey.
We look for volunteers who are:
- Passionate about the difference rugby can make in communities and the lives of others, especially children
- Excited about the challenge of working and living in different countries, each with its own distinct culture
- Independent thinkers and who are also strong team players, able to work together with others to achieve common goals
- Over the age of 18 when joining the team in Africa
While volunteering with us, you will have the opportunity to take part in the following activities:
- Prepare and deliver rugby sessions, from grassroots to national level, developing your coaching and leadership skills
- Empower local teaching staff and run coach education seminars
- Work together with our extensive network of stakeholders to prepare and manage rugby festivals and tournament days
- Experience Africa first-hand as we travel from country to country; its people, landscapes, culture and history
We charge a volunteer fee based on the length of time you plan to spend with us. Bhubesi Pride Foundation – thanks to strong relationships with corporate partners and grant donors – is able to heavily subsidise these fees, making the opportunity more affordable for people who really want to contribute to the charity's goals.
Details of what's included and excluded are outlined below.
Your volunteer fee includes:
- Accommodation
- Food and water
- Initial training
- Programme management and logistics
- Coaching kit and teamwear
- Project related travel within Africa
The fee excludes flights, travel insurance, visas and travel medication.
Volunteer fees are as follows:
1 month (4 weeks): GBP £1,350
2 months: GBP £2,500
3 months: GBP £3,550
Full 5 month expedition: GBP £4,995
We encourage all volunteers to engage in fundraising activities and to seek out sponsorship to cover part, or all, of this fee. This reduces the financial cost to you (the volunteer) and also raises great awareness for the charity and the work we do.
The first step in the application process is to complete our online application form. This should take you no longer than 30 minutes to complete. We operate a rolling application and selection process. You'll know within one week if your application will progress to the next stage, and in less than one month if you're offered an expedition place with Bhubesi Pride Foundation.

Malaysian scratch doubles pair of Goh V Shem (left)-Tan Wee Kiong celebrate after beating their Danish opponents Carsten Mogensen-Joachim Fischer Nielsen in the Thomas Cup quarter-finals in New Delhi last week.
PETALING JAYA: The strong performances of Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong at the Thomas Cup Finals last week is giving national doubles coach Pang Cheh Chang a pleasant selection headache.
V Shem and Wee Kiong were paired up for the first time during the Thomas Cup Finals in New Delhi and they delivered key performances despite Malaysia eventually losing 3-2 to Japan in the final.
V Shem-Wee Kiong played four matches - against India's Akshay Dewalkar-Pranaav Jerry Chopra, world No. 4 Kim Ki-jung-Kim Sa-rang of South Korea, Denmark's Carsten Mogensen-Joachim Fischer Nielsen and Japan's Keigo Sonoda-Takeshi Kamura.
Even though they were shaky initially, V Shem-Wee Kiong emerged as standout performers in the team as they won all their matches, including the gritty fightback against the Japanese pair which briefly gave the team some hope.
Although Cheh Chang is proud of his charges and their good showing, he has no immediate plans to split the existing partnerships of Hoon Thien How-Wee Kiong, who are No. 7 in the world, and V Shem-Lim Khim Wah who are No. 20 in the world. Both pairs have qualified for the World Championships in Copenhagen from Aug 25-31.
"To be honest, I have been preparing the doubles players to play with anyone in the team since February," said Cheh Chang.
"I want them to learn different things, adapt to the various situations and be ready to step in to pair up with anyone if needed.
"The splitting of partnerships has been done with a lot of consideration ... it was not a rash decision. The main reason is because our players have become too conservative in their own comfort zones. I want them to come out from it.
"The Thomas Cup was the perfect stage to put that to the test and I have to say the players came through with flying colours. I'm very pleased with them.
"But, I will not be making any of these pairs permanent, at least not until after the World Championships.
"We want to send the two pairs who qualified for the world meet, or else all the work that went into qualifying will have been in vain," added Cheh Chang.
Nevertheless, Cheh Chang is set to tweak the pairings for the three Superseries events next month - the Japan Open (June 10-15), Indonesia Open (June 17-22), and Australian Open (June 24-29).
For the Japan meet, Wee Kiong will resume his partnership with Thien How, but V Shem will pair up with Tan Boon Heong and Khim Wah with youngster Ow Yao Han.

Mar 28 2014, 2:17am CDT | by PR.com
South Miami, FL, March 28, 2014 --(PR.com)-- An innovative new product designed to serve as an effective training aid for strength trainers, the Bully Strap, has been developed by John Murphy of Clinton Corners, New York. The invention's unique design enables its users to enjoy an optimal grip when hoisting heavy weights.
One of the principal driving forces behind the building and sustaining of larger and stronger muscles is the use of progressively heavier weights over time. Naturally, as an individual's strength and subsequent ability to handle more substantial poundage increases, the physical demand and challenge becomes greater as well. Therefore, any product that holds the potential to provide a person training with weights a more comfortable grip and handle on dumbbells and barbells will likely be viewed with great interest.
With this in mind, the Bully Strap has been developed. The Bully Strap provides an important element of safety when weight training by fortifying the user's grip. The product will help prevent the forming of callouses and welts on the hands stemming from lifting heavy weight. Additionally, through its proprietary features, the Bully Strap will promote greater strength gains in the gym by enabling its users to handle progressively heavier weights without discomfort. It will also be competitively priced, adding to its appeal.
The Bully Strap is currently in Patent Pending status within the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The inventor of the Bully Strap now seeks a third party licensee to manufacture, market, and distribute the product for him under a royalty agreement. Potential licensees in the fitness accessories industry are currently being targeted as candidates to eventually commercialize the Bully Strap on a worldwide basis.
In July 2013, Mr. Murphy contracted Miami, Florida-based product management services leader Innovation Direct™ to represent the Bully Strap to potential licensees for a 2 year period. Innovation Direct™ obtains the maximum amount of exposure for the products that it represents through its unique and patented licensing methodology and its participation in multiple and diverse industry-leading trade shows each year. Exhibits that Innovation Direct™ has attended in recent years include the SHOT Show, the International Home and Housewares Show, the World of Concrete Show, the National Hardware Show, Licensing International, the SEMA and AAPEX Shows and the ERA D2C Convention.
Potential licensees interested in obtaining more information about the Bully Strap and discussing licensing opportunities with respect to the product can contact the Manufacturer Response Department of Innovation Direct™ at (877) 991-0909 ext. 4285 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Angel Wings Recipe
3.5 11
I knew I'd hit a winner with these crisp roll-ups when my sister first sampled them. After one taste, she was so impressed she asked me to bake her wedding cake!
- 1 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 10 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- Colored sugar, optional
- In a large bowl, cut butter into flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sour cream. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 6-8 times or until mixture holds together. Shape into four balls; flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Unwrap one ball. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar on waxed paper; coat all sides of ball with sugar. Roll into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle between two sheets of waxed paper. Remove top sheet of waxed paper. Sprinkle dough with 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Lightly mark a line down the center of the dough, making two 6-in. x 5-in. rectangles.
- Starting with a short side, roll up jelly-roll style to the center mark; peel waxed paper away while rolling. Repeat with other short side. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze for 30 minutes. Repeat three times.
- Place remaining sugar or place colored sugar if desired on waxed paper. Unwrap one roll. Cut into 1/2-in. slices; dip each side into sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Turn cookies; bake 5-8 minutes longer. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 3 dozen.

Peanut's story: Peanut was hit by a car and wound up in a shelter, where efforts to find him a home were to no avail; no one, it seemed, was interested in a less-than-perfect dog with broken bones. But Ken-Mar Rescue stepped in, the bones healed, and Peanut is now a happy boy who loves to give kisses, lie in the sun and go for walks.
Adoption fee: $350, includes microchip, vaccinations, free bag of food and more.
Adoption procedure: Ken-Mar Rescue requires an adoption application before prospective adopters can meet Peanut. Go online to www.kenmarrescue.org to fill out the application. If you are approved, a meeting with Peanut in your home will be scheduled.

ABSTRACT: Right-handedness and left-sided language lateralization is an unresolved mystery with unknown cause/effect relations. Most studies suggest that the language lateralization is related to a fundamental brain asymmetry: right-handedness may be secondary. We analyzed the possibility of an opposite cause/effect relation: whether asymmetric hand usage (as a cause) can influence language lateralization (as a consequence). We determined language lateralization by functional magnetic resonance imaging in 15 subjects whose upper limb (UL) had been injured at birth because of unilateral damage of the brachial plexus. These subjects were able to use only one (the noninjured) UL perfectly. We found correlation between the severity of right-sided UL injuries and hand usage dysfunction and the degree of left-to-right shift of language lateralization. There was, however, not a complete switch of language lateralization. Right-sided UL injury can induce a left-to-right shift in language lateralization, suggesting that hand usage can influence language lateralization. These findings may contradict the broadly accepted theory that right-handedness is a secondary phenomenon caused by left-sided hemispheric language lateralization. However, the cause/effect problem between asymmetric hand usage and language lateralization is not resolved in this study. Our findings may support the theory that gestures had a crucial role in human language evolution and is a part of the language system even today.

Article: Synthesis of 9,9-Dialkyl-4,5-diazafluorene Derivatives and Their Structure-Activity Relationships Toward Human Carcinoma Cell Lines[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A homologous set of 9,9-dialkyl-4,5-diazafluorene compounds were prepared by alkylation of 4,5-diazafluorene with the appropriate alkyl bromide and under basic conditions. The structures of these simple organic compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, NMR, and FABMS). Their biological effects toward a panel of human carcinoma cells, including Hep3B hepatocellular carcinoma, MDAMB-231 breast carcinoma, and SKHep-1 hepatoma cells, were investigated; a structure-activity correlation was established with respect to the length of the alkyl chain and the fluorene ring structure. The relationship between the mean potency [log(1/IC(50))] and alkyl chain length was systematically studied. The results show that compounds with butyl, hexyl, and octyl chains exhibit good growth inhibitory effects toward these three human carcinoma cell lines, and the 9,9-dihexyl-4,5-diazafluorene further exhibits antitumor activity in athymic nude mice Hep3B xenograft models. For the structurally related dialkylfluorenes that lack the diaza functionality, in vitro cytotoxicity was not observed at clinically relevant concentrations.

Throughout All-Star weekend I monitored various Twitter and Instagram feeds for any interesting pics or comments or whatnot involving John Wall, Bradley Beal or the Washington Wizards in general. Fine, I also kept tabs on J. Michael and Chris Miller especially when there were hopes they would eat this or wear that.
At one point I posted something on Wall doing 360's and various things, but our on-site crew clearly had the scene covered for the final three days. So several links were headed to my computer's trash bin, including this pic Wall tweeted out on Friday of him with NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The next day the Wizards point guard would win the Slam Dunk contest. The following day Wall would play in the actual All-Star game.
Anyway, on Monday Abdul-Jabbar posted a picture on Instagram of his meet up with Wall, which led to this nonsensical post from yours truly.
Clearly the master of the Sky Hook's heart is in the right place even if his facts are not. Slam Dunk champion, yes. All-Star MVP, no, not in 2014 anyway.
Anyway, Abdul-Jabbar gets a pass for this turnover. He was in "Airplane" after all.

Sebastian Kneipp
In the 19th century, Sebastian Kneipp revolutionized natural medicine. After he cured himself of his severe tuberculosis - which was considered at that time to still be incurable - through brief baths in the cold Danube, he began to occupy himself intensively with the health-promoting power of water and the healing effects of selected plants.
The result of his many years of study and successful practical applications is a visionary concept of life which is timeless and current. In view of increasing environmental burdens and stress-related diseases of civilization, people nowadays have a more intensive need for effective therapeutic methods and active preventive health measures. For Sebastian Kneipp, this also included regular exercise, a healthy diet and mental-emotional balance. He was thus a pioneer of holistic thought. His name is associated with the expertise of naturopathic and pharmaceutical practical knowledge proven for many generations.
The following pages provide details on the most important stations and events in the life of Sebastian Kneipp:
Childhood and adolescence
Tuberculosis illness
The key moment: Discovery of a water cure
Completion of studies and ordination to the priesthood
Life as the "water doctor" and "cholera chaplain"
Move to Bad Wörishofen
Water applications become a therapeutic concept
Successful book author

A new $50,000 sterile processing system just installed at Community Regional Medical Center will save and estimated 85,000 gallons a year in water. It's one of several water-saving measures Community's hospitals have adopted during California's historic drought.
Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital was once again awarded a 3-star rating for open heart surgery from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS).
As part of the national Healthier Hospitals Initiative, Community Medical Centers' leaders have committed to raising awareness of the connections between negative impacts on environment and public health. The national collaborative of hospitals shares best practices on sustainability, energy-savings, safer chemicals, smarter purchasing and healthier food options.
Local interior design company owner Kay Garabedian got lucky the evening a large clot lodged in her brain. Lucky her good friend and business partner was there and knew the signs of a stroke. Lucky she got to a hospital right away. And lucky that first hospital sent her to Community Regional Medical Center, which had the expertise and technology to remove the clot from her brain.
Today Community Medical Centers' CEO Tim Joslin testified at the House Ways and Means Committee's rural healthcare hearing in Washington, D.C., where he urged Congress to revise its process for funding graduate medical education.

Beautiful photo of a creepy dream!

Oh wow, thanks for checking it out I appreciate it ^_^ Yeah it's funny, you've pointed out something I hadn't realized in connection between the two pieces. I suppose as a person, I have become more confident not only in painting the piece but in life as well. Thank you for that
this is wonderful!
You perv! But I see what you mean, this photo can be easily associated with a sexual attack. We like to keep that option open, so that people can have their own interpretation
i get that alot lately hahahahahahaha
buy i see what you mean too and i think that is the magic in that photo.....!!!!
buy i see what you mean too and i think that is the magic in that photo.....!!!!
It reminds me of someone being sexual taken advantage of. Don't get me wrong it's great, I suppose it's the essense of morbidness that I admire the most.
Ah, yes, I see how you get that association. I think the text we based this on is about violation. And our model's body looks really fragile here, so those hands can be easily interpreted as violating her body.
Awesome shot!

I love you hun, you mean the world to me.
Hug me gently with your words of silk,
Can't get enough of your whispers that you sing.
Scream my name and tear this silence so thin,
I love you hun, you're a dream came true to me.
I have no choice but to get lost in your golden eyes,
Shout your moans when I push my lips against your thighs.
Write your pleasure on my pale, soft skin,
I love you hun, please don't let go off me.
Bind our act in your skinny arms,
Trust me love, I won't break you, or our hearts.
Lips to lips, heart to heart, skin to skin,
I love you hun, you belong with me.
Persuasive DesireMy lips melting on your chestPersuasive Desire by PouringSorrow
Your heart is racing,calm dow is just sex
Our bodies burning with this curious desire
My tongue moving down into your pants like fire
Our bodies on top of each other
My body so wet...just got out from the shower
Teasing you with my wet lips on your ear
Your shyness I will destroy it with my spear
You want to stop...thinking this is wrong
Your body failed you...with me you belong
Never felt so right...you're my fantasy
You're turning me on with one word...can't you see?
We are one now,the world is spinning
Don't hold your need,you can start screaming
Our moment will come to an end
But not now...we're still on the same bed
Guilt...Just a WordOpen the wounds to make us wholeGuilt...Just a Word by PouringSorrow
To dig our way out from this hole
Nice try...now turn back again
You are nothing,your body's in pain
Words like spears pushed beneath my skin,
Are you enjoying this moment that's your sin?
Go ahead and dig me a grave
In the end I'll cut you open with my glaive.
You managed to tear up my whole world once again
I freed myself from a life under ball and chain
So much blood pouring from your chest
It's warm...that I never would've guessed
Chocking yourself with blooded words of despair
Don't get me that look...I did what was fair
Closure is what you wanted...to put an end to this
Death followed you and gave you the deadliest kiss
Fading out...Fading out...Fading out... by PouringSorrow
Surounded by a puddle of blood
What could make my thoughts go numb?
Just a knife and a body laid in front of me
Did I take your life so carelessly?
The sound of the rain I recognise
I can't tell what has been disguised
No way you could run away from my hands
It's too late for calling now your friends
They've already been took far from here
Your breathing it's far gone...I can't hear
I felt your pulse ticking away
No need to panic my love,you're ok
It's the blood poured from your vein
Now it's wasting on the floor in vain
Regrets all over your face I can see
Before you stabbed my chest painfully
Stop wondering if it's about life or death
You decided that's no use to go on one last path
No need to clean after your mistakes
Just lay back and watch my eyes erase
Well...I use lots of dots like "..."
I write poetry...not everybody likes it because it's...well you'll see ^^.
I like rock music and horror movies.
Oh and btw...I'm not the character in my poems...it's a random guy/girl who has been through a lot and got tired of fighting.

Make Way For People! Chicago Opens First "People Plaza" on State Street
Monday, June 10, 2013
Chris Bentley.
The median of a downtown stretch of State Street is now home to the latest of Chicago's People Spots, a series of parklets sprinkled throughout the city as part of its "Make Way for People" program.
Dubbed "The Gateway," the portion of State Street between Lake Street and Wacker Drive features shaded tables and chairs in what the city is calling its first "People Plaza." Flowerboxes, banners, and bright red and blue colors lighten up the otherwise utilitarian median. While the spot's central location is probably its greatest asset in attracting visitors, satisfying views of downtown's architectural gems impart some elegance to the straightforward design.
Kimmelman: Have your Prentice and Build It, Too
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Chris Bentley.
New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman waded into the controversy embroiling Chicago's old Prentice Women's Hospital Wednesday and wound up soliciting a unique solution from Jeanne Gang that has already garnered praise from the coalition of preservationists fighting to save the building from demolition.
Noting the "familiar" tone of the dispute between landowner Northwestern University, who wants to demolish Prentice to make way for up to 500,000 square feet of medical research facilities, and preservationists seeking landmark status for the distinctive 1970s Bertrand Goldberg structure, Kimmelman called for a third approach: incorporate old Prentice into a new design on the site. As the pendulum begins to lean towards demolition, with 42nd ward Alderman Brendan Reilly saying he supports Northwestern's decision, the critic asked Gang what she thought.

There are two different steps to deleting a user profile in Windows 7, first the users' files & second their profile registry key.
Start Menu> Run> Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Example binary key: S-1-5-21-3656904587-1668747452-4095529-500
This can be your desktop or even to a flash drive for safekeeping
if you need to login as the user whose profile has just been deleted, the computer will think this is the first time they've logged onto the PC.
This seems like a very involved method to remove a user profile. How do the results compare with what happens if you go through the GUI to remove a profile?
I used to do it this way, however I found it was much easier to right-click on My Computer and choose Properties, click the advanced tab, click user profiles, choose the account from the list and then select delete. Much easier I find!
This is a very useful method if you want to rebuild a profile, Eg rename the directory and then delete the reg key. You can then easily cut/paste desktop/my docs bookmarks etc
Good instructions for thorough removal of profiles. Clears out Temp profiles also which cluttered on of our PC to no end.
Cheers John Ferry, it's funny to see the amount of profiles that haven't been used for 1 year plus when PC's are in for a rebuild. This method meant there was effectively no trace of that profile after deleting the key.
P.S. I no longer have access to the profile i created this article with (AJF42) as it was through a company helpdesk account.
Is there a way to automate (script) the process so, for example, all profiles that haven't been accessed in four weeks is removed from both c:\users and in the Registry? except for a short-list of local admins?
David: use this: http://helgeklein.com/free-tools/delprof2-user-profile-deletion-tool . I use it and it helps me
@ErikN - sometimes in a domained environment, the profile won't show in user accounts> manage users and this, coupled with rebooting the PC and deleting their c:\user\, is the only way to get local profile cleared.

Ted Simons: Good evening, and welcome to "Arizona Horizon," I'm Ted Simons. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency yesterday issued new rules to reduce emissions from the Navajo Generating Station. The new rules incorporate recommendations from a technical working group made up of stakeholders and the power plant's owner-operators. Sandy Bahr is the director of the Grand Canyon chapter of the Sierra Club, which is not on board with the new rules. Thank you for joining us. Before we get to your concerns, what exactly did the EPA decide yesterday?
Sandy Bahr: Basically what the EPA did is, instead of going with the proposal that it came out with, which is the proposal that met the Clean Air Act requirements, the EPA has chosen to go with a proposal submitted by this technical working group, which includes Salt River Project. And they basically have said they are going with a proposal that allows significant delay in cleaning up Navajo Generating Station.
Ted Simons: Did they explain why the delay was a better option?
Sandy Bahr: Well, there is -- it's a long decision, and they -- they explained A little bit. But in some areas they didn't give much explanation at all, which is unfortunate. But overall they are saying because the plant is on tribal land, they can give it a special exception as one of the reasons that they gave. They argue that it -- that it is better than what they proposed. But that's a pretty convoluted argument. Especially if you look at the technical work group proposal. There's really no certainty with it. There's not a clear path to compliance, which is one of the things that we've raised repeatedly. Basically under the proposal that EPA came out with originally, within five years they would have to clean up the plant. Under this, they can just keep running the way they are, and push it out until, you know, 2029. And then if they are at their limit or over, they would have an interim shutdown. Then it could potentially start operating again provided they actually did shut down. So the only thing in it that -- there are these caps on the pollution that kick in, in 2029. And then in 2024 the plant would close, provided the Navajo Nation didn't acquire it. I thought the plan calls for closing up one of those three generating stations by 2020, or at least reducing the equivalent amount of power that would equate to closing one of those plants. Is that not in the plan? It's one of the alternatives, one of the scenarios included. But again, there's no enforceability of emissions reduction on a year-to-year basis. The only thing that is enforceable are the reports, they have to report on emissions. They have to provide the information. And then when they get out to the 2029, if they have exceeded this interim cap, then potentially EPA could say, well, you have to shut down.
Ted Simons: Again, 2029, the idea is that nitrous oxide emissions will be cut by 80%, by 2030. So the story is if they don't hit that 80%, you're concerned that the enforcement measures that have been talked about, aren't strong enough to keep some sort of interim plan, or we can't make this, we've got to figure out plan B, plan C, these sorts of things?
Sandy Bahr: First of all, we don't know what this proposal will do. It's intended to protect the air around Grand Canyon and 10 other national Parks and monuments. Obviously in reducing nitrogen oxide emissions it also helps to protect public health. By allowing them to pollute for a couple more decades potentially, they are continuing to affect these national treasures, as well as affecting public health. Again, they could exceed it and just keep running it, and then do a shutdown. It's going to be bad for everyone, bad for the tribes, bad for -- you know, public health and certainly harmful to Grand Canyon and other places. It sound like -- again, this is the result of five years of talks with environmental groups, tribes, the stakeholders as we mentioned. It sound like the goal was to cut pollution, and also kind of take your time doing it, so that you don't lose too many jobs up there in Northern Arizona. It's a compromise and it sounds like the Sierra Club is not happy with the compromise. But if all these people are at the table talking about this for five years, is it as good as you could have hoped for?
Ted Simons: No, not at all. They could have done much better. A compromise means you still get to comply with the Clean Air Act. It would mean people who are breathing the pollution from this plant are not continuing to breathe the large harmful amounts coming out of it. We're talking about one of the top polluters in the country, certainly the biggest polluter in the region. You know, this is a big deal. They ought to be complying with the Clean Air Act. This has been around for a long time. This is not a new provision in the Clean Air Act. It's not like Congress just passed this a couple years ago, and we're saying, oh, you have to do this right away. You know, they had 20 years to reduce emissions to comply with this. Now they want to stretch it out a couple more decades. That's just unacceptable, that's not a good compromise. As far as the retrofitting, the Clean Air Act and getting that in line the EPA even recognized that the threat of the plant closing down and the effect it would have on CAP, jobs in Northern Arizona, the whole nine yard, was enough for them to consider this particular compromise. Again, can you at least see where they are coming from on that?
Sandy Bahr: Well, I can understand that they want to look at all of the issues and should. And so did we. But this proposal allows the plant to continue to pollute for a much longer period of time. And it does, it harms people in the region. Starting now to look at a transition plan would be appropriate. How is this going to be helpful to people who work there if they run this dirty plant up until 2029, and say, okay, we're shutting it down. That doesn't help anyone. We really think that they need to implement the Clean Air Act, clean it up, work for promoting clean energy throughout Arizona. I mean, that's something that we have been working on for decades. We're big supporters of renewable energy, energy efficiency programs and those are programs that can provide good jobs that are more sustainable, and that don't create the same kind of health problems we see from this coal plant. EPA said that over time there would be a 72% improvement of haze at the Grand Canyon. This is over time, it's only 72%. I know it's not 80% or 90%, but is it good enough at least for a plan, at least to get started? We could be talking about developments here in the next decade or so that could make this whole thing obsolete, couldn't we?
Sandy Bahr: Well, you could argue that the coal plant is obsolete. That's why Nevada Energy and L.A., they are getting out of the plant they are not investing in coal. Coal is a high risk. So you're seeing states and individual companies get out of coal generation. It really is an old technology that -- that plant is one of the biggest polluters. Really, delaying the action on it and allowing it to continue to pollute, that just means that, you know, we're subsidizing water with more pollution. And we shouldn't be subsidizing Central Arizona Projects with dirty air. That's just wrong.
Ted Simons: Last question is a lawsuit likely, do you believe, to block implementation of this?
Sandy Bahr: We don't know, we're looking at it right now. We believe strongly that the Environmental Protection Agency has a responsibility to uphold the Clean Air Act, a responsibility to all Americans to protect Grand Canyon and these 10 other Parks and wilderness areas.
Ted Simons: It's good to see you again. Thanks for joining us.
Sandy Bahr: Thank you.
Ted Simons: We should mention tomorrow we will hear from members of the technical working group that successfully put together this plan to reduce emissions at the Navajo Generating Station.

Has anyone else's LO had their teeth come in in a really weird order?
My LO got his top side incisors before the middle ones- I think that's pretty common, even though it's usual to get the middle ones first. He looked like a little vampire for a while with just the side ones and no middle teeth!
I've been waiting for his top molars to come through since they're supposed to be next, but I noticed yesterday that a top canine is coming through, and that he already has the point of one of his bottom molars through, both on the left side!
I've heard that it doesn't affect the development of either their baby or adult teeth, so I'm not worried at all, I just think it's interesting that his teeth are coming through so differently to the standard order and wonder how common it is. Anyone else?

Article Summary
There are airplanes and swimming pools that give prospective astronauts a taste of what a zero-gravity environment will feel like, but the sensations that they will feel upon returning from such an environment are also important to simulate. Astronauts coming back to Earth's gravity often experience disturbances in their vision and neurological function, to the point that they can have trouble walking, keeping their balance, or even safely landing their spacecraft. By utilizing a Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) system, however, scientists can give them a sneak peek of what to expect, so they can better compensate for it when it happens in the field.

SESTRIERE, Italy -- I'm reclining on a restaurant sundeck that overlooks the Italian Alps, a fur blanket protecting me from the late afternoon chill. The sun is sinking to my right, on its way to a sunset as spectacularly colored as a vintage Houston Astros jersey. I raise my glass of beer, take another sip and glance down to the slalom course below where Bode Miller is about to begin a run.
This is sooooo much better than the Shea Stadium press box.
I'm in the mountain resort village of Sestriere for the spectacular day/night doubleheader that is the men's combined. The downhill portion is raced in the brilliant sunshine of a crisp Alpine afternoon at Sestriere Borgata, while the slalom runs are held a couple miles away under the lights and a full moon at Sestriere Colle.
Unless, of course, they crash.
While there is a noticeable lack of Olympic energy in Torino -- unless you're at an event, you would be hard-pressed to know the Olympics are going on -- this is not an issue here. Tucked into the Alps about two hours by bus from Torino, Sestriere offers the ultimate Olympic experience. Flags hang from the buildings and Olympic banners decorate the streets. Small shops sell chocolate and fashionable ski sweaters. Wood huts line the central square, offering mulled wine, freshly melted cheese, buttery croissants and hot chocolate so rich and delicious you gain three pounds just ordering a cup. Fans from all over the world pack the streets, proudly wearing emblems from dozens of countries. There's a group from America. And one from Canada. Switzerland. Italy. Croatia. Argentina. Nepal.
And look -- there are four gorgeous models strutting around to promote a new TV series called "Aspen."
This is sooooo much better than curling.
Gauging the downhill course from TV is like looking at Angelina Jolie's driver's license photo. It doesn't begin to do it justice.
You can't appreciate the downhill while standing at the bottom of the course, either, because all you can see are the final couple hundred meters. To get a better perspective, I watch the first few runs from the ledge of the narrow roadway winding high above the finish line. I can see the entire downhill course from here, and this is where you really get a feel for how insane this event is. Television cameras offer some pretty spectacular angles, but to gain a real appreciation for the course, you should pick up the chair you're sitting in, carry it to the top of the nearest staircase, pour olive oil on the stairs and spread banana peels down their length, sit back down in the chair and have someone give you a push.
But that's only the beginning. The downhill has a vertical drop of 2,998 feet, which is roughly the equivalent of Seattle's Space Needle balanced on top of the Chrysler Building stacked on top of the Empire State Building. It would be one thing if this drop were spread out over a reasonable distance of, say, 10 miles. But it's not. It drops that distance in just two miles. For every yard in distance, you drop almost a foot in height.
• Caple: The biggest luger
• Full coverage: Olympics index
It's a long ways down.
No one should ski down such a slope unless Blofeld's SPECTRE agents are chasing you with submachine guns. There shouldn't be a gold medal for the winner; there should be a leggy Bond girl in stiletto heels waiting in a hotel room with a martini.
If anyone needed a reminder of how dangerous the downhill is, Lindsey Kildow provided it Monday when she crashed horribly on a training run. They airlifted her to a Torino hospital, but incredibly she skied the downhill Wednesday (and finished eighth). Then again, that's what you have to do in this sport. The longer you wait to get back on the skis, the harder it becomes.
"It's really tough. It depends on what your injury was, but a knee injury can be really tough to get over physically and mentally to get yourself back in the game," American skier Scott Macartney says after his downhill run. "It takes quite a while to get your confidence back and throw yourself down the mountain the way you need to."
"You never really get it completely taken care of," says USOC sports psychologist Jim Bauman. "But it's like anything else, the more you deal it with it the better. If you hold it back and not talk about it and not work with it, the higher the potential that it's going to come back up again. You need to get it out."
Bauman says he stresses probability over possibility to skiers after a crash. Yes, it's possible they will crash, but it's much more probable they won't. Of course, that's easy to say, not so easy to accept when you have nightmares about crashing and fresh reminders every race. Indeed, two runs into the combined, Filip Trejbal of the Czech Republic crashes in spectacular fashion, pinwheeling down the course before coming to rest against the fence line. Minutes later, Australia's Jono Brauer crashes as well, prompting this comment from the course announcer: "Unfortunately, he ends his race against the fence."
Which is a polite, understated way of describing it. Kind of like saying Evel Knievel's jump to clear the fountains at Caesar's Palace didn't make it.
Watching all this, I don't know understand why people give Bode Miller such grief for suggesting he has skied while wasted. Frankly, you would have to be drunk to try such a thing.
For athletes, the Olympics might be two weeks of stomach-churning anxiety while worrying that a lifetime of training will come down to less than a second. For spectators, however, the Olympics are like the biggest college party you ever attended, only with much better beer and plenty of attractive exchange students with alluring accents. I run into a group of Americans from New Hampshire who are staying in a rented camper for five dollars a night. At that price, the heating system can't be too good, but given their current blood-alcohol content, I'm sure they won't notice.
Many of the bigger countries set up hospitality houses in Torino or the mountain venues for their citizens. Most require a passport documenting you're a citizen, but an athletic or press credential often suffices. I met an Argentine luger at the 2002 Olympics shortly after his country's currency lost its value. He lived several weeks on the meals he received at hospitality houses.
There are two such houses in Sestriere: Swiss House and Deutsche Haus. The folks at the Swiss House welcome me (and everyone else), selling delicious raclette cheese and drinks, handing me an array of travel brochures and telling me where to go after the Olympics (Zermatt and the Matterhorn). If I lingered a little longer, I have no doubt they would give me my own secret Swiss bank account.
Deutsche Haus is a little more problematic -- in typical German passion for record-keeping, they want me to register and they electronically scan my fingerprint. Now, I don't feel comfortable giving the local grocery store my club-card number, so there's no way in hell I'm giving the Germans my fingerprints. I'm American and I believe in civil liberties, and I will not submit to this invasion of my privacy.
Especially since I notice a sign saying the Germans stopped serving the free buffet five minutes ago.
However, I do have a nice white wine and a bowl of penne at the press dining room overlooking the mountains, followed by my beer at the restaurant overlooking the slalom course.
This is sooooo much better than watching the Seahawks practice in the middle of August.
Night skiing might be common on recreational slopes, but it is highly unusual at the Olympics. And very welcome. By the second slalom run, the course will be glistening under the lights, as pure as the white on a Dodgers Opening Day uniform. Attendance is disappointing -- the grandstand is barely half-filled, but those who came are waving flags and clanging cowbells and blowing horns and dancing to bad '70s music. It's not a wild atmosphere but it is a very pleasant one.
Bode's time of 1:38.36 on the downhill run left him in first place heading into the evening slalom runs, and he increases that lead with his first of two runs. As skier after skier fails to beat his time, he appears to be in excellent shape for the gold medal. Long after that first run, however, Bode's name suddenly disappears from atop the leader board and reappears at the bottom with the letters DSQ alongside it. He is disqualified for straddling a gate, a mistake the judges caught on the replays. He seems less concerned with losing the gold than with skiing what he considered a bad run. "At least I don't have to go to Torino [for the medal ceremony]," he says with a shrug before walking off the course.
Miller might be out, but teammate Ted Ligety is in third place and in good position for a medal. He moves into even better position when he turns in the best run of the day to edge into the lead with only two skiers left who can catch him. The worst he can do is bronze.
Croatia's Ivica Kostelic sweeps down the course and finishes with a combined time of 3:09.88, a half-second behind Ligety. Only one skier can beat him, Austria's Benjamin Raich. He held a .86-second lead over Ligety heading into the second run. But Raich misses a gate near the top of the course. He's out. At age 21, Ligety is an Olympic champion.
The American fans erupt with applause. Teammates Macartney and Steve Nyman tackle Ligety and the three roll in the snow in joy. Then Macartney and Nyman raise their teammate on their shoulders in triumph
"I put down two really solid runs, but I can't believe I'm an Olympic champion. I don't understand it," Ligety says. "I don't even know what's happening right now, for sure."
After a day of drinking, some spectators on the course no doubt share that confusion. The day is drawing to end, and it's time to catch the bus back to Torino. There is no leggy Bond girl waiting anywhere, but Ligety is rolling in the snow with his teammates, the beer is flowing at Swiss House and the mountain slopes are glowing under the light of a full moon.
And there go the Aspen girls again. This is sooooo much better than working for a living.
