Bed Shopping
I've been wondering lately if we should save up to get a new bed. I mean we've had our for years! Chris had it before we got together so that right there is at least five years. Yea, now that I think about it, if I'm wondering then it's probably time. I mean I know that our mattress sometimes kills my back when I wake up. We really need a bed set, mattress and box spring if we decide not to go with a platform bed!
It can be hard to get out and go shopping. Especially when I have very young kids and no car whenever my husband is at work. So once I started thinking about it, I started looking around online. That way I could get price ideas, reviews and things like that. I mean of course I would want to try a bed out in a store first but in my experience, I can usually buy online for cheaper.
I found a UK based site called Bedstar. Even though I'm not in the country, I was curious about prices comparably. I like to see how much stuff can be different places. I found a bed that would called a super king which is in between a queen and a king in America for $350! That is a pretty great price compared to some places near myself!. And of course if you're in the UK then buying online with BedStar Shop may just be for you! I know if I lived there I would love to buy one of those, if it fit our comfort needs of course.
This post was sponsored and is written in association with Bedstar. However all opinions are true and my own!


text: For the true connoisseur of the low-budget 1930's film, this book is a must. Of course some items are left out, and the book mentions it deliberately excluded a couple of major Poverty Row studios - Mascot, Majestic - which were "covered in another book" (which other book, I beg to inquire?) but it's surprising just how much is included, and there are quite thorough analysis and plot summaries, especially of the exploitation flicks and horror films. Also, lots of Westerns are covered which other readers might have interest in, and the book discusses quite a few of the mystery thrillers available on Alpha through Oldies. It's very enjoyable to read about the "other" movie world, not mainstream, Post-Production Code Hollywood. Somehow these cheap little movies often more accurately represented the tone of real life 70 years ago than the big, lavish studio productions did. This book is highly recommended.

What do Tarot numbers mean? How Numerology Applies to Tarot Readings
Have you ever pulled cards and noticed an abundance of the same number showing up? If so, it means that this particular number is also reflecting meaning within the reading. One thing I tend to see on a somewhat frequent basis are 2 two's in a row.
Two's in tarot tend to represent balance and decisions. In numerology 2 tends to speak of being at a crossroads or needing to "pick a path" as it were. The 2 cards, in 2 consecutive positions therefore might tell me that this particular choice would be one of great importance leading me to focus more on that aspect of the spread than others.
All Tarot cards are numbered. The Major Arcana all have Roman Numerals. The double digits can be reduced down to their single digits by adding the two digits together until you can form a single digit.
For example the Death card being the number 13 would reduce as 1 + 3 = 4 and 4 would be it's number within a spread.
Every number in Tarot has a meaning and to be honest, I don't really apply numerology a whole lot to Tarot because I feel as a general rule, the card messages and the intuitive guidance I am receiving far outweigh any Numerology definitions. However, when you see a lot of a number – just like when you see a lot of reversals or a lot of the same suit etc. It means that it does have more of an influence on the overall spread.
Numerology is often great at pointing out how a querrent is approaching a situation or how they view themselves within that environment.
So, when reading Tarot if there is an uncanny amount of the same number within the same spread, I do pay close attention to how that number ties into the "whole" of the reading, and not merely the positions it is drawn in.
It is nice to know the numbers and their meanings however and I have posted them on my Hub at hubpages in full detail. Tarot Numerology Hub Enjoy!

Online accounting review: FreeAgent/IRIS OpenBooks
Nigel Harris presents an update on FreeAgent Central, one of the pioneers of online accounting in the UK with an application tailored for freelances.
FreeAgent Central was one of the pioneers of online accounting in the UK and has successfully carved out a niche with IT contractors and one-man companies. More recently it was adopted by IRIS as its online solution for its accountant clients and co-branded IRIS OpenBooks 'powered by FreeAgent'.
The two services are virtually identical, the main difference being that FreeAgent can be used directly from the company's website (£15 + VAT pm sole trader/£20 pm partnership or LLP/£25pm limited company), while IRIS OpenBooks is resold by accountants who can buy subscriptions for their clients at a sliding price starting at £15 per month (down to £6 pm for firms with more than 200 OpenBooks clients). Accountants can either resell the application to clients at a price of their own choosing, or bundle it with bookkeeping or other services. The flat monthly fee includes unlimited users.
Final thoughts
FreeAgent and IRIS OpenBooks represents the ideal solution for one-man IT contractors and freelancers. The service has been fine tuned to meet the needs of that sector, but more recently features such as user access controls and stock management have been added to cater for 1-10 person microbusinesses and product-based businesses.
For a business with employees the built-in payroll function makes this an extremely cost-effective package. As an accountant I was disappointed at the lack of export or print options in the reporting section; surely not that difficult to add, but apparently something for which there is no demand at the moment. If the majority of users are in fact one-man businesses perhaps on-screen reporting is adequate in most cases.
This is obviously not an issue for accountants using IRIS Accounts Production either. Accountants looking to manage clients using online accounts will find that IRIS OpenBooks provides a dashboard overview of all the firm's OpenBooks users, with the last login details and latest bank balance shown against each client. Unlike services such as KashFlow, IRIS makes no charge to firms for this dashboard facility.
The full article is available to registered AccountingWEB members only. To read the rest of this article you'll need to login or register.

I am surprised at the comments on printing - whilst there is no obvious print option, I have found that every report I have tried (including the equivilent of nominal activity(all transactions) and aged creditors) has automatically reverted to a sensible 'printable' version if you just hit print in internet explorer - excluding images and formatting them properly over the page.
Invoices without projects
I was wondering if there is a way to create invoices in FA without first having to declare a project? I couldn't find an obvious way to do this last time I used the service.
Recently I stumbled upon Quick File which seems like a very well put together system, best of all it's free! I'm just a bit apprehensive committing at this stage as they appear to be more orientated towards the business user. Does anybody know if there is a way to export the TB on Quick File?
Projects are completely
Projects are completely optional. Estimates can be created attached or not to a project, and invoices can be created likewise; either from an estimate, linked to a project or simply as a stand alone invoice.
Printing and reports
Printing from the pages in my browser has worked fine, and I have also been able to copy and paste what I see on the screen into excel, which I found useful in some cases.
I think you will find that all transactions can be exported as a CSV too.
We compared over 150 accounting apps
There are a few great invoicing tools available on the cloud. The trick is using ones which will integrate nicely with your your entire ecosystem of cloud-based solutions. Some we have identified for our clients include Harvest, FreeAgent, Bizmo for iOS, Anybill, inniAccounts, Outright, and Kashoo.

And doing what karatekid is out of my originality....
Plus he already finished doing it... :3
It can't be a ten minute script karatekid just have mad copy/pasting skills haha... xD
Too many strike through tags.
I know it's not easy to write longs scripts the first time, but I'm saying that length =/= quality i.e:
Move player
move some dude
move camera
move player again
open a door
move more people
move again
move more
Shows the same as
move x
battlee goes through a door
You see what I mean?
Since this involves me, I guess I can comment. We both know that tajaros knows how to script, and a 600 line script, even if it is the same thing over and over, does show skill, because how you organize it is key also. You need to be able to manage long scripts, or else you are screwed if you need to do something big.
While versatility with commands is good, new commands are fairly easy to learn. It's being given a task and finding a way to do it that actually shows the skill of a scripter. Not how many commands he/she knows how to use.
And yes, I do have mad copy and paste skills to make that 2311 line script to set 2000+ flags in under 10 min, haha!
Edit: I also can't wait for this project to get off the ground. I will definitely be a scripter, but I don't have enough time for being a head scripter, which is mostly why I didn't apply.

Pleats Please Issey Miyake celebrates its 20th anniversary
14 Jun. 2013
Pleats Please Issey Miyake Celebrates 20th AnniversaryPleats Please Issey Miyake, the Japanese designer's own collection based exclusively upon plissé materials, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
In celebration of this innovative fashion concept, which is based on colourfulness, easy-care and easy-to-pack fashion, the Japanese fashion house has launched its first fragrance Pleats Please Issey Miyake, produced by Beauté Prestige International, a new watch for the collection Issey Miyake Watch, designed by the British designer Jasper Morrison and its first book Pleats Please Issey Miyake (see http://www.sportswearnet.com/businessnews/pages/protected/Issey-Miyake-Presents-Pleats-Please-_5930.html).
In addition to this, a new series of visuals, created according to the visual concept 'delicious things' have been created by graphic designer Taku Satoh, for the occasion. "The term 'delicious' evokes many different ides," comments Satoh. "It is an onomatopoeic word - whatever we imagine as delicious looks tempting and emotive. For this we imagined different 'delicious' visuals in order to tempt everyone!"
A new series of photos by Francis Giacobetti portraying dancers also accompanies the new collection.

Great Ideas thank you so much. You have truley helped :)posted 02/14/2011 by pinkcoconut2207
At my friend's baby shower we all wrote on these scrolls for the baby to read one day when shes older and all guessed the birthday and weight of the baby. As far as games, we had a big baby bottle filled with diaper pins and everyone had to guess how many was in there and whoever won, got a little gift bag (just little stuff like lip gloss and cheap things) and then another game was where we all passed around a roll of ribbon and cut off the amount that we thought would wrap around her belly and the ends had to touch or come close. Whoever got the closest won a prize as well. I hope this helps and good luck, hope your shower turns out wonderful :)posted 02/11/2011 by tlbcookie1980

The world changed after Columbus found the new world in 1492. 1920 is when Columbus Day was first celebrated. It is on the second Monday on October. People are now starting to question if we should still celebrate Columbus Day. People are wondering if we are celebrating the right thing. In my opinion I don't think that we should celebrate Columbus Day and for several reasons.
When Columbus landed in the new world he didn't respect the natives. The natives gave him gifts and welcomed him to the New World but Columbus didn't show any affection to the natives. When he first saw the natives he thought that they would make good servants. He took some natives as slaves. He made them tell him what they new. He thought that he could take them as slaves and make them do whatever he wanted because he thought he was the first to find the New World. He wasn't even the first to find the New World. The vikings visited the New world and also the natives lived there so they knew about it. Columbus wasn't even the first European to find the new world. He says that if he didn't show them the technology then they would be dead but they have been alive for a long time. They were just fine before he came along. They weren't getting sick before he came along. He bought a disease down there and almost killed all of the natives. He didn't help them he only killed them.
Columbus thinks he helped the natives but he only killed them. He killed more than half the natives. They did not need him to survive because they were alive before he came and now they are dead. In my opinion I think we should not celebrate Columbus Day. He is not worthy a day in my opinion.

I could not find the manual on the HP site, do you have one?
So I've added my question from the HP forum to this one to see if I might luck out.
G4 iMac OSX 10.5.8 & All in one printer. I cannot seem to get a multiple page scan to produce one pdf...instead of separate ones. I have done this before on the same printer/scanner but for whatever reason it will no longer scan multiples to one. The only thing that's changed is I have a new Comcast modem instead of the old ActionTec. There's no place to set a scanner preference for multiples that I can find...in case it's a setting causing the issue. Thanks and I appreciate any help on this.

So I was back in the land of my fathers at the weekend for the rugby international at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
I haven't actually watched a Welsh win yet but there is always hope and the sense of expectation when you round the corner shortly after the railway bridge and get that first glimpse of the massive Stadium; with scores of red-clad people surging towards the entrances past stalls selling souvenirs and ref radios.
Merthyr Girl and I got to Gate 6, entry door A3 and waited for the blokes to catch up, chiefly because they had the tickets. That first sight of vivid green through the entrance is as thrilling as a glimpse through the keyhole into a secret garden. Rows of red seats, many of them occupied already, the scarlet and gold of the band of the Royal Welsh Guards and smart dark suits of the male voice choir singing Calon Lan. Feeling that shiver of pride and anticipation.
My seat was number 9 in row 9 – just nine rows back from the front with the posts just to my left. The best seats we'd ever had. Tidy.
I had a flag and a blow-up daffodil – ultra-conservative accessories compared to the big yellow daffodil head-dresses which some people wore with their faces the centre of the flowers. Others wore mad sticky-out red and green wigs which reminded me of Ken Dodd two years overdue for a hair-cut. Some wore jesters hats with prongs and bells on – others had their faces painted with Welsh dragons.
The choir sung Men of Harlech and ended on Waltzing Matilda for the visitors. Naturally, the highlight was the Welsh national anthem. Worth the ticket money for that alone. With the vast stadium roof closed, the sound of 75,000 voices rising to a heartfelt crescendo was stirring indeed. On the strength of that alone, how could our boys do anything but win?
It turned out that we were sitting in exactly the right place. There was a lot of possession and several tries scored right in front of us. The players just happened to be wearing the wrong colour shirts.
"Ok we're have had enough now lads. Take it down the other end for a bit."
The chap sitting behind me was good at helpful encouragement, most of which I can't repeat here.
They obliged briefly with a couple of penalties but somehow they couldn't penetrate the Ozzie defence to get close to going over. Compared to the Welshmen there definitely seemed to be more Australians on the pitch. No question.
"Have you counted them lately?" I quizzed DT man.
"You sure they haven't snuck on a couple of extras? The Australians seem to be all over the place."
"That's because the Welsh aren't coping with them," he said. Typical bloody Englishman.
They Australians went in fast and hard. They never seemed to slow down. And they seemed to be everywhere. Try followed try. I was pretty sure that Wales always play better in the second half. Warren Gatland would have a word in the changing rooms and they would come out and scorch the opposition into submission right in front of us.
Course, it would have been a different story with grease-lightning Shane Williams but he'd gone off injured in the first five minutes. Nevertheless in the second half the Welsh boys got tantalisingly close to the line in front of us on several occasions and whenever that happened, naturally the crowd roared and leapt to its collective feet so as not to miss an instant of the action – which was a problem revealed itself.
While the tall paunchy guy in front of us definitely supported Wales, his jeans were more in sympathy with the Australians.
As he leapt to his feet, punching the air to urge on the boyos, the trousers sagged alarmingly, revealing two flabby southern hemispheres of podgy dimpled blue/grey flesh. The vision was framed by a belt, studded like a bulldog's collar, which was not performing any kind of useful function.
As builders' bums go, it was a whopper. The deep and significant divide might have been a convenient storage solution for my blow-up daffodil if it hadn't been starting to go a bit soft in the stem.
"Oh my god" gasped Merthyr Girl.
I nudged DT man. The size and colour of the ass reminded me of The Benefits Supervisor, a painting we'd seen at an exhibition once.
He had a faraway look in his eyes and Ref Radio in one ear.
"Look. Lucian Freud would kill for that bottom."
He took no notice. There was a stoppage for injury.
"Sorry to interrupt you Stephen – stretcher coming on."
DT man has a habit of reciting the ref radio aloud, which can be interesting but is mostly incomprehensible.
"He's a barrister, this ref, you know. Very polite. Calls all the players 'gents'" murmured DT man.
"Yes but that guy's bottom is exactly like the colours Freud used in that big nude, the Benefits Supervisor. He painted her all greens and blues and purples and this guy is the same!"
DT was still firmly held in Ref Radio World.
"Gold. Extended holding. You know what I'm talking about."
The ref was talking to a player.
"Penalty then?" I was just checking, I knew that really.
I turned to Merthyr Girl. Uh-oh.
As the penalty went over, everyone rose to their feet and we got another generous view of the Freud-worthy posterior – with even more blue-purple blotches this time. The draught from the exit behind us was definitely getting colder.
And so it was every time Wales had a real chance of scoring – so the southern exposure continued. But they didn't score. We were losing quite heavily and to make matters worse, I was convinced my daffodil was punctured. The stem was all squashy and the petals were dented. Must have been that nuisance Australian who had squeezed past twice carrying two multipacks of Brains bitter. There had been a minor struggle while I got my daffodil under control but I reckoned he had spiked my daff with his sharp cardboard carrier.
"Actually," I whispered to Merthyr Girl. "I hope they don't score now. It's too late, being 33- 12 down and if they do get a try, we'll be in for a full moon, no question."
"Yeah," she said.
"I think it's deliberate. Maybe he fancies you. It's a classic baboon mating display. If he offers you a banana just say 'No.'"
Thankfully the whistle put an end to the agony, Freud Man hitched up his jeans, put his coat on and left.
My daffodil hung limply over my arm reflecting the mood of the Welsh supporters. Then I noticed something – the stopper was open. Hoorah! It wasn't punctured at all!
The daff was a kind of allegory for the spirit of the Welsh supporters. We were all merely temporarily deflated.
Like the Welsh team, we'll all be back another day, re-invigorated and pumped up to win another top-class battle. Shane Williams and Mike Phillips had better be fit by then. They just might make the difference.

This item from Oh. is now in the Shop Backroom
More from Oh.
Antique Teddy Doll - Looking for a Good Home
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a doll expert. I bought this little gal because she was just so darn cute I couldn't resist. I have spoken to two friends who are both collectors and professional doll dealers, and the jury is split. One, a general doll and toy dealer says these teddy dolls were sometimes made with porcelain doll heads like this and the head may very well be original, while the other, whose specialty is Madame Alexander dolls, says the head is not original, I leave it to you to decide for yourself. I think the hat is definitely original, it is made of the same mohair as the body, and it also fits the head well.
CONDITION is good. The body and head appear to be in good shape. However, there is some glue at the back of the neck that has hardened a portion of the fur, you can see it in the pictures. This prevents me from looking at the neck and shoulder area. I'm not sure why it was applied, perhaps the seam had opened, the shoulders underneath feel solid, I just don't know. Measures approximately 11 1/2" head to toe.
This little teddy girl just oozes charm, displays beautifully, and is looking for a loving home that does not demand perfection. She'll bring you many smiles and promises to be a good companion. Enjoy!

« Barbara Fischkin "First Autism Conversation with the New President | Main | Autism Speaks Sends A Message to Community? »
Managing Editor's Note: That's Robert Kennedy Jr. at the Green our Vaccines rally last June where he summarized the autism/vaccine debate better than anyone I'd ever heard. Click HERE to watch his speech at the Jenny McCarthy Green Our Vaccines rally. From your mouth to God's ears, J.B..
By J.B. Handley
I didn't weep last night when Barack Obama was elected President, although I voted for him and was certainly thrilled to see him elected for so many reasons.
Truth be told, I was very frustrated by Obama's positions on autism relative to John McCain, and I simply heard many more things and saw a lot more action out of McCain when it came to our kids.
But, I was struck by the decency, intelligence, and compassion of Obama, and I believe he already knows or will soon understand the breadth of what is going on with our kids.
Like I said, I didn't weep when Obama won last night, but I just wept for a rumor now floating around in the blogosphere: Obama is considering RFK Jr. to run the Environmental Protection Agency.
God Bless America. And, let's pray it's true.
J.B. Handley is co-founder of Generation Rescue and contributor to Age of Autism.
TrackBack URL for this entry:
Listed below are links to weblogs that reference RFK Jr. to Head EPA?:
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
RFKjr has dropped out of the running:(
Any more news on this??
Response 1) Oh, thanks. I guess we can shut this web site down now. If only you had told us a year ago.
Response 2) To paraphrase from RFK Jr. (since we're talking about him): If you actually read the studies and don't just read the CDC summary of them you can see that not only are they fraud, they aren't even high quality fraud.
Study after study has shown that the autism/vaccine debate is not needed. Vaccine does not cause autism, this is a bogus claim that continues to be made.
This was a hard election to vote in, for parents with special needs children...
Palin with a special needs child, Her special needs speech, brought tears to my eyes...Cindy McCain's experience working with severely disabled children. It was like a dream ticket for parents with special needs children! But my heart and common sense mixed with facts told me to vote for Obama.
I don't care about the education for special needs children as much as I care about a CURE and PREVENTION for special needs children. And this is why I voted for Obama. I had tears in my eyes as well, when I heard Kennedy could possibly be the next head of the EPA. Is there any greater person to have over the EPA(Environmental PROTECTION Agency) Than one of our countries biggest supporters for the envirnoment!
Hijinks Mar Ohio Vote
by Deroy Murdock
If this happens in Ohio then this can happen in any state including New Jersey where I live. I'm not naive to think it doesn't happen in NJ.
So henceforth I will no longer vote nor give political views since I will be a non-voter.
I belong to the Know-Nothing, Hear Nothing and Care Nothing Party of one non-voter.
Sorry to hear that Congressman Weldon retired....that just leaves Dan Burton who will either retire or may eventually be removed by a Democrat in his district.
Ray Gallup
For Teresa.
You asked for more about Rahm Emanuel.
There is a link to the UK Telegraph article included.
Thanks for all the information on Age of Autism. I look here often for news and opinions I'm never going going to find anywhere else. RFK Jr. heading the EPA? That would be a dream come true. His article "Deadly Immunity" was one of the first things I read on my path to the truth and the recovery of my son with autism. There are many local and national elections that have not gone as I had hoped and prayed, but I have always believed the truth will eventually prevail.
For Ray,
Dave Weldon retired from Congress. He was one that came in to Washington during the first Republican revolution in 1994.
Last New England Republican in US House loses
Just as well he was defeated. Shays supported military vets against the anthrax vaccine. Better that the pharmaceutical companies win out. Maybe Dave Weldon (R-FL) and Dan Burton (R-IN) can be defeated by some pro-pharmaceutical company Democrats in 2010. We can always hope.
Also, I will work on getting a Democrat Congressman elected in 2010 over my Congressman in NJ who is Republican. I just won't vote and will encourage other people not to vote Republican hereafter (or be non voters like myself if they vote Republican). If we can work for all 100 Senators and 435 Congresspeople to be Democratic it would be beneficial for the country in order to help Barack Obama. Also we should make sure that they are all pro-vaccine like President Obama. We should back the new President 100% including on the pro-vaccine issue.

Bamalot: Obama Drafts Star-Studded Short List for Cabinet
Kennedy, Powell, Kerry considered for top jobs
By Xana O'Neill
Updated 10:07 AM EST, Thu, Nov 6, 2008
President-elect Barack Obama has drafted a star-studded short list of cabinet candidates, with political heavyweights Caroline Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Colin Powell and John Kerry among the most notable names being eyed by his transition team.
Obama already has offered Illinois Democrat Rahm Emanuel the position of chief of staff. It is likely that Emanuel will accept -- and now Obama is focusing on filling out the rest of his team.
The President-elect is strongly considering Robert F. Kennedy to be the head of the Environmental Protection Agency and is weighing Kennedy's cousin, Caroline, for the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations -- a move that would please Sens. Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy, Politico reported.
If Obama chooses to oust Robert Gates as Defense Secretary, Gen. Colin Powell has been short-listed as a candidate. Powell's endorsement of Obama fueled speculation that the former Secretary of State would be considered for a Cabinet position. But the New York Daily News and New York Post report that Obama could ask Gates to stay in the job.
Sen. John Kerry is considered the front-runner for the nation's top diplomat. The senator from Massachusetts selected Obama to be the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, where Obama delivered the critically acclaimed speech that put him on the map.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was named as a potential candidate for Secretary of Energy in late October. Others considered for top jobs are Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell for Secretary of Energy and Chancellor of New York City's Department of Education Joel Klein.
Obama also is considering tapping high-level Clinton administration officials. His transition team consists of former one-time Clinton chief of staff John Podesta and Obama has staffed an advisory board overseeing the transition with former Clinton administration officials Carol Browner, William Daley and Federico Pena.

Hey Media Scholar,
Thanks for the information. It is one thing to up vaccines as one thinks (or thought) to help children to live healthy and longer lives vs to up vaccines knowing there is a neurotoxin included to cause lifelong immune and neurological problems.
This insinuates a dark plot vs ignorance of thimerosal in 1993...is this answered in the pdf?
Here is a link to the daily schedule of former first lady Hillary Clinton. 1993 is a huge-size pdf.
As the NBC TODAY SHOW pointed out most everything concerning Hillarycare is heavily redacted.
Rahm Emanuel was the lead architect of Hillarycare. It wasn't a total flop. Hillarycare convinced enough people in Congress to fund a huge increase in childhood vaccinations.
The proliferation of Thimerosal-containing vaccines began as Hillary Clinton nationalized her Arkansas vaccine program. The large additional doses of vaccines, many of which have Thimerosal in them, has led to the 6000% increase in Autism.
With Rahm Emanuel in the White House...
Hey Teresa
I'm not sure what the Rahm Emanuel involvement is with thimerosal. I would like to know my self.
I was just commenting on the post by Media Scholar were Media Scholar said:
"I think Bobby would be better suited at Attorney General. We need to drill some people really bad.
And we need to get all the Thimerosal obfuscation co-conspirators including Hillary Clinton, Henry Waxman, Rahm Emanuel, Orac, IOM, CDC, AAP, etc.
Let's all chant! Drill Bobby Drill!"

Maybe Media Scholar can tell us what Rahm Emanuel involvement is with thimerosal.
When I read this I immediately thought of Andrew Card (Eli Lilly friend) Bush's White House Chief of Staff.
Rachel Maddow at MSNBC is putting together "A to-do list for the Obama administration" at http://rachelmaddow.newsvine.com/_news/2008/11/05/2077659-a-to-do-list-for-the-obama-administration
It might be worth leaving some comments on the vaccine issue...
Sign Lady:
I pray that something good will come of this election, I would love that this is true. He is absolutely amazing and would be so good for the Autism community. I pray that Obama does something for our kid's....but I won't hold my breathe..It's amazing how this man who came out of nowhere moved the massive amounts of people to vote for him...He definately has that presidential look, and is cool, calm and collective...it's hard not to like him, but I was a bit disappointed he didn't speak much about autism and any vaccine reforms of any sort...
If this rumor proves to be true, then our next rally may look something like this...
(If only...oh happy day!)
I'm ROLLING. Nowwww you tell me!
Why the he** did it take this long for someone to correct my spelling on this???
Oh, wait. Strike that. Actually, I *decided* to do it [Think: Kub. Target'] except in my case, I was going for the whole Irish thingy instead.
PS....Anne Dachel...where are you when I need you?
BTW: I think getting rid of mercury in any form is a good idea. I just think there probably would have been a better chance including it in this bill since it was already focused on mercury.
But, as they say, time will tell.
Hey Jeff R-
Can you clarify your comment re Rahm Emanuel? He is my rep currently here in Il--what the heck is his involvement in thimerosal--??
Kelli Ann-- I didn't realize that Obama was an Irishman (O'Bama?), lol.
Ted Kennedy's staff told a Mass coalition of autism parents that there was no way that legislation banning thimerosal was ever going to pass under Bush but that it would be done under Obama. In other words, had Obama put the wording in to ban thimerosal, Bush would not have signed.
Controlling atmospheric mercury is a good first step for one really good reason: read Jane Hightower's "Diagnosis Mercury" to get an idea of how deep the scientific apologias go defending even methylmercury's safety to get an idea of how big a coup Obama and the rest managed to pulled off. Getting the government to concede that mercury emissions are dangerous was a tough task, but it could be a camel's nose if Obama's so prone to shove the rest of the camel through the tent flap once in office. That's the critical thing to watch for but I like what's happening so far.

And we need to get all the Thimerosal obfuscation co-conspirators including Hillary Clinton, Henry Waxman, Rahm Emanuel, Orac, IOM, CDC, AAP, etc.
If Rahm Emanuel is one of the Thimerosal co-conspirators, this is bad news, because he is going to be White House Chief of Staff.
Also Robert Kenny endorsed Hillary Clinton, so this may be a long shot, but it would be GREAT.
Let's not open the champagne corks yet.
O'Bama's "Ban on Mercury Exports Bill" was just signed into law by President Bush on Oct 15(http://obama.senate.gov/press/081015-bush_signs_into/) and there is absolutely no mention of eliminating thimerosal exports even though he stated to A-Champ his intent to remove thimerosal from vaccines: "I support the removal of thimerosal from all vaccines and work to ensure that Americans have access to vaccines that are mercury free."
My question is this: If O'Bama thought this was important, why didn't he include thimerosal in this bill??? Seems he could have *killed two birds with one stone* by doing so, no?
Granted, Kennedy would definitely have O'Bama's ear, but my guess is O'Bama would be choosing him for *other* environmental issues.
Bottom Line: We better pray that O'Bama plans on helping our children because the fact that he just won by 7 Million votes pretty much renders our *voice* ineffective in terms of a future "voting block" that carries any significant weight.
I'll believe it when I see it-- but God knows I'm hoping with all my heart that this rumor is true.
I confess that I've been being kind of a fantasist about my hopes for the Obama's policy development towards environmental autism. My fantasy was that he was being a bit mum about vaccine causation during the campaign because he didn't need another well-funded industry/press gun to be pointed at his head, but that once he was in office, he would lower boom after boom and let his true, stealthy-all-along beliefs be known. I imagined that, once in office, he would:
--push for legislation to force pharma to give a year's notice to take any approved product off the market in order to remove vaccine manufacturers' potent (not to us but to most people) threat that they'd pack up their toys and go home if forced to change formulas or if the "midnight rider" legal immunity was removed.
- go through every regulatory agency and clean house: the FDA, NIH, NIMH, FCC, CDC, Dept. of Education, HHS, etc., replacing the old guard with progressive individuals with rock-solid integrity (like RFK Jr.). Of course, in my fantasy, the Geiers, RFK Jr. and many more-- including my favorite psychiatric reformers (to clean up the overdrugging of kids)-- would find themselves offered pivotal positions.
- clean out the justice department top to bottom, de-funk the "whistle blower" office and have a few heads roll.
--And finally, that he'd just "let it all be done" when legal obstacles were removed and families could finally litigate.
It's a tall order but hope springs eternal and I think we should set our sights and the bar very high. And I think a DC rally should be planned once he's in office. A friendly, cheerful, hopeful, loud one.
Saw a report that Waxman is trying to take over Dingell's chair of Commerce committee: http://www.rollcall.com/news/29885-1.html
Hoping he fails because that's a sweet spot for someone trying to pass legislation aimed at Pharma (or in Waxman's case, for someone trying to AVOID passing legislation aimed at Pharma).
J.B., I agree... This chokes me up.
I think Bobby would be better suited at Attorney General. We need to drill some people really bad.
And we need to get all the Thimerosal obfuscation co-conspirators including Hillary Clinton, Henry Waxman, Rahm Emanuel, Orac, IOM, CDC, AAP, etc.
Let's all chant! Drill Bobby Drill!
In response to the A-Champ questionaire, Obama said:
- "I support the removal of thimerosal from all vaccines and work to ensure that Americans have access to vaccines that are mercury free"
- "I believe Americans must know the health effects that caused by the presence of mercury in vaccines. I will also support an examination of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program, a program designed to compensate those injured by vaccinations."
- "Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest growing developmental disorder in the United Sates and, perhaps the world. One in 150 children is diagnosed with ASD. These numbers cannot be explained solely by increased awareness or changes to the diagnostic criteria. It is a health crisis and I will act accordingly."
- "There is much evidence to suggest that ASD is a genetically-based neurological condition with environmental triggers. As president, I will lead an effort to conduct research to confirm these findings and study the potential triggers. We must find out why many Americans have ASD and other special needs, the causes, and best treatments and intervention."
- "ASD affects behavior, communication and socialization and means that Americans with ASD will have a lifetime struggle to fully integrate within the community."
- "I will fully fund IDEA so that we provide children with the support they need to receive a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment"
- "I will go beyond the Combating Autism Act to develop a comprehensive autism policy that invests $1 billion annually by the end of my first term in office to address ASD on all fronts."
Did President-Elect Obama retract these statments, or something?
Great news re: RFK, Jr. GREAT news!
This would be great news, but I'm waiting for a few cabinet appointments. Especially the person who will replace the nimrod who appointed Julie Gerberding. This guy...
One thing President Elect Obama has shown us is that he knows how to build great teams. That's how he got elected. I hope that is reflected in all of his cabinet choices.
Fingers crossed.
Weep, I'll sob like a little baby if this is true.
Say it's so, Say it's so.
Could we fire Julie Gerberding while we are at it!
Ooooh I wept last night. I wept myself to sleep, for America and mostly for our kids. I was so disheartened that Obama never took the time to sit down with anyone from community, especially in comparison to the fact that McCain put the issue of autism front and center and stated his support for parental choice in vaccination.
However, if Obama picks RFK Jr. for the EPA post I will at least have some hope for our kids.
Holy moly --- that would be AMAZING!
This is just great news! You also summed up my thoughts and feelings about Obama for president vs Obama for autism. My gut feeling is the two can become one.
I'm praying, too!
OMGoodness...this is already a dream, PLEASE add RFK jr to that dream! He's a natual consideration for the position, and would certainly explain our position. But, I canl imagine that other's are at work to stop this.
I'm not a church goer by nature, but if anything can get me to get on my knees, do a rosary and light a few candles, this is it.

Here is a link to my Friday column about Game 6 between the Warriors and Clippers, and Stephen Curry. The full text runs below. I'm flying back down to LA on Friday. It feels like I live in LA.
OAKLAND — The Warriors won because of Stephen Curry. He wasn't the only reason. But he was the big reason.
What they won with their 100-99 victory over the Clippers was a seventh game, a do-or-die, loser-goes-home game in L.A. Saturday to end one of the strangest playoff series in the history of the NBA.
In the entire history of sports, for that matter.
The series has involved secret tapes showing Clippers' owner Donald Sterling is a racist, his girlfriend coyly apologizing for her dark skin color.Sterling putting down African-Americans. Sterling a bigot and an old fool.
The series has involved teams almost not playing in protest and teams wearing black socks in protest, and it involved the commissioner banning Sterling for life in three days.
The series also has involved basketball. To an extent. The basketball came and went and sometimes was the secondary storyline.
But on Thursday night at Oracle Arena, the sold-out arena the Warriors want to dump, Curry played like a star. He had not always done that.
He also had come and gone in this series, dominating some games, being passive and small in others. What would he do in Game 6, a game the Warriors had to win to save their season?
He scored 14 points in the first quarter, 18 in the first half, getting off that lightning-release jumper, and you realized he was the best player on the floor. He can be the best when things go right for him.
He needs things to go right, the floor spacing perfect, his teammates making screens for him, breaking him free.
If he had failed, the Warriors would have failed. He ended up with 24 points.
Before the game, Clippers' coach Doc Rivers, so honest, explained what makes Curry almost impossible to guard:
Q: "Why can you slow down Stephen Curry some nights and not others?"
Rivers: "Because he's Stephen Curry. He's really good. Sometimes, I think we slow him down. Sometimes, I think he becomes human and he misses shots. He's one of the greatest shooters I've ever seen. We're trying to just keep a big body in his face every time, but when he gets loose, especially in transition, he's deadly. We've limited our turnovers for the most part, and it seems like we've done them in bunches in this series, and that's when they make runs.
"But he's just a very difficult guy to guard. It would be easier if he couldn't dribble, but the guy can shoot and dribble, and that's what makes him so good. And he can come off picks without the ball, so he's just a very difficult guy to game plan for."
Rivers was more complimentary of Curry than Mark Jackson was. Strange.
Before the game, I asked Jackson why Curry doesn't take over all the games, why he passes and sometimes acts, well, passive as he did in Game 5 which the Warriors lost.
I said superstars take over in big games. I said Michael Jordan wouldn't keep passing the ball to teammates in a playoff series.
At a certain point he'd say, "Give me the damn ball." I didn't use the word "damn" with Jackson.
"I appreciate that question," Jackson said, "but this just in. Steph Curry is not Michael Jordan."
"He's your Michael Jordan," I said.
"He's not my Michael Jordan. He's not anybody's Michael Jordan. I love him to death and he's a heck of a basketball player. At the end of the day, Michael Jordan is 6-foot-7, freak athlete, tremendous strength, cat like quickness, the ability to maneuver, get to his spots and, in spite of great defense, shoot over them.
"Steph Curry is being trapped by a 7-foot freak athlete in (DeAndre) Jordan or a 6-foot-10 freak athlete in Blake (Griffin) along with a big time defender at the point guard position, (Chris) Paul and whoever. There are times he's going to be aggressive. Then there are times he's going to look to make plays. I would argue the case that being too aggressive can force turnovers also. So he's got to use wisdom, and I have confidence that he'll do just that."
On Thursday, Curry used wisdom. He got his points and he got his assists — nine — and controlled the rhythm of the game.
There was the time in the third quarter he drove to the hoop, spotted Draymond Green on the side, beyond the 3-point line, lined him a pass and Green, as alone as an island, measured the shot for about a century and hit nothing but net.
There was the time in the fourth quarter when Curry drove the lane, through every Clippers player, and flipped ball in hoop as smooth as you please. The Warriors went up by six.
Compare Curry to Blake Griffin who labored for his shots, fought against double and triple teams, sometimes lost the ball, tried to bank the ball off the glass and mostly hit iron and saw the ball roll into free air.
Finally, frustrated, he fouled out. It was a case of one superstar — Griffin — flaming out, and the other — Curry — setting the world on fire.
There are games when Curry is the best. There are games — and there will be games — when he vanishes. It's who he is, what he does. On Thursday, he wasn't Michael Jordan. Being Stephen Curry was enough.

Does this mean we have to continue to wait until Lowell-san writes about real sports? Rats…
Love, love, love Curry. But If you ask me, Draymond Green won this one. Not that either of us is really right… it takes a village and all… but DG rendered Blake Griffin mostly ineffective all game. With a typical scoring night from him, the Clippers win that game easily.
Gritty, tough and not a very pretty game to watch at times, but the Warriors found a way to make just enough plays to get it done. Looking forward to more of the same in game 7.
Lowell, any change the Association takes a look at the Glen Davis play and takes action? Curious on your take on that play.
Lowell, after Jackson said his team should take what the defense gives them rather than impose their will on the Clippers I was thinking…….wrong answer. And then when you called Jackson out by saying that the great teams with great players like Michael Jordan take over games and that the Warriors should do that I thought brilliant question. But Jackson avoided answering it by hiding behind Michael Jordan……..if you had left out Michael Jordan's name in the question it woulduv been a much tougher answer for Jackson……it did seem the Warriors won game 6 by taking over the game with Curry's 14 points in the first quarter and Draymond Greens rebounding…….put those two players together and the Warriors got a Michael Jordan like performance for the win.
Dave T, the play happened at the other end of the court from where I sit, plus we don't get replay.
I'm on a record as calling game a six win. Game 7? If the Warriors play a bad first quarter? Its a sure loss. They might be only down a handful of points,but if they go there playing badly?..it's a loss.
This team all year has rollercoasted. A bad start on the road is sure death. The Warriors OWN the Clippers and Blake if they run.run.run..and double cover. Look at that big loss to Miami this year at home,Jackson refused to doublecover James. Has Jackson learned? I think he has. I give him that.
And lastly Griffin is no Karl Malone. He cant jump shoot,and he can really cough that ball up. He fouls out more then any other star NBA player I know of. Jackson knows what to call for.
I agree with Ben's comment about Draymond Green. I see the team taking on his battling, hustling, tough attitude. I think he has had a bigger impact on the identity of this team than any other player.
I also agree with Jackson; it is not fair to compare any player in the league today to Michael Jordan. No one, not even LaBron, can take over a game, at will, like Jordan could.
Could you find out what in the hell happened to Festus Ezeli? I'm amazed that his disappearing act isn't getting more press. Ezeli was a strong bench player as a rookie, in many ways the equal to Draymond Green, and it's been almost a year since he had surgery to "strengthen" two knee ligaments, yet he is sitting out this series in a nice range of suits.
No ligaments were torn from what I understand, so it is bizarre that eleven months later he still cannot play.
Either he did not take the rehab seriously for these last eleven months that he's been cashing checks, or the Warriors need to find new surgeon and perhaps a new trainer. Now if they had Ezeli, the player who gave Denver fits at times last year in the playoffs, the odds of extending this season would be much better tonight. Without him, Jackson has Mo Speights and two stiffs more prepared for Santa Cruz than the Staples Center.
Pathetic. Please ask Joe Lacob, who seems to believe the team Bob Myers "built" is ready to challenge for a title, why in god's name a "strengthening" surgery required a 12 month (& counting) rehab period.
Then perhaps you can ask him how Jackson was supposed to win with Mo Speights, Jordan Crawford, the European Derrick Rose, or some 7′ white ghost who never seems to leave the bench.
Bob Myers needs to go back to his law practice and negotiate contracts. Just give the keys to Jerry West and get out of his way, Joe….
Back to the Jackson question- Yes or No for 2015?
10 days ago I believed if W's took the Clippers to seven games, he would be back.
Today, I think he HAS to win.
Totally OT and if it doesn't show up I'm okay with that but thank you Jim Brown:
Jackson sidestepped your question. You should have said,"Back to my point- why can't he stop being passive?" That's what happens. He starts shaking his head,dropping his head..and what I can't stand,bad basketball fundamentals..choreographed passes ( I get tired of writing the usual terms) that also seem to badly timed this series. Curry,was the sole cause of Clipper comebacks just as it seemed the Warriors were pulling away. He's been picked from behind ONE ON ONE..wasn't even a double team. How could he not be aware so late in a game?
I notice today's Merc/BANG compared Curry to Paul by stat. Scoring,assists. They didn't use turnovers…c'mon,that's homer-ism sports at its worst.

Jake and I have already decided that eventually we will move away from LA. We had extremely similar childhoods filled with big backyards, puppy dogs, and all the wonderful things that come with the changing of seasons (particularly snow). We are sentimental about those things and we want our children to be able to enjoy and experience the same things we did. We don't know when or even where we will move, but I can tell you that when the time comes for us to buy our very own house there will be a lot of DIYing for the first few years.
I keep coming across amazing projects people have done in their homes. There is only so much you can do in an apartment and still expect to get your deposit back. We are already pushing that envelope. Every time I see something particualy awesome, I save it for when we have our own home where we can do what ever we like.
Here are some of my favorite projects. These ones lean on the more major construction side. If you happen to do any of them or have done anything similar, I would love to see it.

I don't know about you, but we're pretty big J.J. Abrams fans around here. We were loyal Lost fans even until the end (but we won't get into that discussion). When Fringe first came out, we started watching it solely based on the fact that is was created by J.J. Abrams. From the first episode we were hooked. It basically started out as a now-a-days version of The X-Files, which Jake and I are also huge fans of (we even dressed up as Scully and Mulder for Halloween last year). In the most recent season it has started to move away from the X-files-esque structure, but it's still pretty interesting. Season 4 premieres tonight, so I thought it only appropriate to post accordingly.

It's been forever since we've posted a photo of the week, sorry! I noticed some new graffiti over by Target the other day so I snapped this one of The Beatles. I'm always amazed by how people can get these up without getting caught. Hopefully we can get back into the hang of posting our photo of the week more consistently again.

As you may already know, a video competition has been going on at my office all year. Any employee can make any type of video and upload it to youtube. The video with the most views by the end of the year wins an all expenses paid trip to New York City for two. I've already made an animation that is currently less than 250 views behind first place. You can watch that here.
Yesterday morning everyone with a subscription to Netflix received an email from the CEO. He explained that the company would be splitting into two separate companies. The online streaming content would remain under the name Netflix, and the mailed DVDs would now be called Qwikster. They will exist as two separate websites operating independently. This split isn't getting a lot of positive renforcement. About 45 minutes after reading through that email, I was struck with an idea for a new video to make for my work's competition.
I can't take credit for the original concept of my video. Hundreds of other versions of this clip exist on youtube already. But with the help of my friends and family, I was able to write a unique and funny set of subtitles for this clip. I hope you enjoy it.

This past weekend our good friends Jonny and Emily invited us to go up to wine country for a relaxing day of picnicking and wine tasting. If you know anything about Jake and I, we are far from being any kind of wine connoisseurs. In fact Jake doesn't even really like alcohol, but we were more than happy to come along and enjoy the day trip with friends. We've never been to wine country, and what better way to spend a beautiful Sunday then to relax in the beautiful outdoors with friends?

The Forum is held under the slogan "It's time for solutions and commitments". Yet the current draft Ministerial Declaration falls short of commitments on the right to safe drinking water and sanitation that virtually all United Nations Member States have already made. This is unacceptable. Join this Call to Action asking Ministers attending the Forum to change the language of the draft Ministerial Declaration to reflect human rights language that has been agreed by the United Nations. The Call to Action (below) will be circulated to Ministers at the Forum on 11 and 12 March, which is when the Ministerial Conference will be taking place. It´s time to fully commit states to realising the rights to water and sanitation for all!

This chapter explains how to use the jetty-runner to run your webapps without needing an installation of jetty.
The idea of the jetty-runner is extremely simple – run a webapp directly from the command line using a single jar and as much default configuration as possible. Of course, if your webapp is not so straightforward, the jetty-runner has command line options which allow you to customize the execution environment.
You will need the jetty-runner jar:
Get the jetty-runner jar, from maven central
Let's assume we have a very simple webapp, that does not need any resources from its environment, nor any configuration apart from the defaults. Starting it is as simple as doing the following:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar simple.war
This will start jetty on port 8080, and deploy the webapp to "/".
Your webapp does not have to be packed into a war, you can deploy a webapp that is a directory instead in the same way:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar simple
In fact, the webapp does not have to be a war or even a directory, it can simply be a jetty context xml file that describes your webapp:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar simple-context.xml
When using a context xml file, the application being deployed is not even required to be a fully-fledged webapp. It can simply be a Jetty context.
If you have more than one webapp that must be deployed, simply provide them all on the command line. You can control the context paths for them using the "--path" parameter. Here's an example of deploying 2 wars (although either or both of them could be unpacked directories instead):
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --path /one my1.war --path /two my2.war
If you have context xml files that describe your webapps, you can fully configure your webapps in them, and hence you don't need to use the command line switches. Just provide the list of context files like so:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar my-first-context.xml my-second-context.xml my-third-context.xml
The command line switches override configuration file settings. So, for example, you could set the context path for the webapp inside the context xml file, and use the --path switch to override it on the command line.
By default the jetty-runner will listen on port 8080. You can easily change this on the command line using the "--port" command. Here's an example that runs our simple.war on port 9090:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --port 9090 simple.war
Instead of, or in addition to using command line switches, you can use one or more jetty.xml files to configure the environment for your webapps. Here's an example where we apply two different jetty.xml files:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --config jetty.xml --config jetty-https.xml simple.war
Switches on the command line take precendence over those defined in configuration files, so you can use the command line as overrides.
You can see the fill set of configuration options using the --help switch:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --help
Here's what the output will look like:
Print out the version of jetty and then exit immediately.
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --version
Cause jetty to write a request log with the given name. If the file is prefixed with yyyy_mm_dd then the file will be automatically rolled over. Note that for finer grained configuration of the request log, you will need to use a jetty xml file instead.
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --log yyyy_mm_dd-requests.log my.war
Redirect the output of jetty logging to the named file. If the file is prefixed with yyyy_mm_dd then the file will be automatically rolled over.
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --out yyyy_mm_dd-output.log my.war
Like jetty standalone, the default is for the connectors to listen on all interfaces on a machine. You can control that by specifying the name or ip address of the particular interface you wish to use with the --host argument:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --host 192.168.22.19 my.war
The default port number is 8080. To configure a https connector, use a jetty xml config file instead.
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --port 9090 my.war
You can configure a port number for jetty to listen on for a stop command, so you are able to stop it from a different terminal. This requires the use of a "secret" key, to prevent malicious or accidental termination. Use the --stop-port and --stop-key parameters as arguments to the jetty-runner:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --stop-port 8181 --stop-key abc123
Then, to stop jetty from a different terminal, you need to supply the same port and key information. For this you'll either need a local installation of jetty, the jetty-maven-plugin, the jetty-ant plugin, or write a custom class. Here's how to use a jetty installation to perform a stop:
> java -jar start.jar --stop-port 8181 --stop-key abc123 --stop
With a local installation of jetty, you add jars and classes to the container's classpath by putting them in the $JETTY_HOME/lib directory. With the jetty-runner, you can use the --lib, --jar and --classes arguments instead to achieve the same thing.
--lib adds the location of a directory which contains jars to add to the container classpath. You can add 1 or more. Here's an example of configuring 2 directories:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --lib /usr/local/external/lib --lib $HOME/external-other/lib my.war
--jar adds a single jar file to the container classpath. You can add 1 or more. Here's an example of configuring 3 extra jars:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --jar /opt/stuff/jars/jar1.jar --jar $HOME/jars/jar2.jar --jar /usr/local/proj/jars/jar3.jar my.war
--classes add the location of a directory containing classes to add to the container classpath. You can add 1 or more. Here's an example of configuring a single extra classes dir:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --classes /opt/stuff/classes my.war
If statistics gathering is enabled, then they are viewable by surfing to the context /stats. You may optionally protect acess to that context with a password. Here's an example of enabling statistics, with no password protection:
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --stats unsecure my.war
If we wished to protect acess to the /stats context, we would provide the location of a jetty realm configuration file containing authentication and authorization information. For example, we could use the following example realm file from the jetty distribution:
Assuming we've copied it into the local directory, we would apply it like so
> java -jar jetty-runner.jar --stats realm.properties my.war
After surfing to http://localhost:8080/ a few times, we can surf to the stats servlet on http://localhost:8080/stats to see the output:

Aaron Rodgers Has a New Contract
The Green Bay Packers have completed the long-awaited Aaron Rodgers' contract extension.
The deal makes Rodgers the highest-paid player in the NFL. It's for five years and worth $110 million, with $40 million guaranteed. He'll get $62.5 million over the first three years of the deal.
Since Rodgers is already under contract for two more seasons, the extension will keep him with the Packers until 2019. The new money averages out to a nice, round $22 million per season, not the rumored $25 million the Packers were supposed to be giving up.
As such, when you throw that in with the nearly $20 million Rodgers was already due in 2013 and 2014, he averages a much more manageable $18.5 million per season.
That's good for the Packers salary cap and their ability to pay someone other than their franchise quarterback and linebacker.
Here's the brass handing out their sound bites.
"Aaron is a true professional and a special player," general manager Ted Thompson said. "He works hard, is humble, and is focused on his actions, on and off the field. He is an excellent teammate and pushes himself and others to be the very best. We are happy to reach an agreement to extend his career with the Packers."
"An exciting day for our football program," coach Mike McCarthy said. "Aaron is an excellent illustration of a Green Bay Packer. It is truly a blessing to witness his continued accomplishments, both on and off the field."
Finally, here's what the man of the hour had to say.
Big thanks to the Organization, our coaching staff, my teammates, and packer nation for the last 8 years!Excited about 7 more!#extension
— Aaron Rodgers (@AaronRodgers12) April 26, 2013
You're welcome.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
WOOHOO!!!! Great news to start the weekend. I think I too just went from 6 to 12. Wait…yup, definitely did.
Now, we just need to realize the opportunity we have on our hands and get goddamn serious about putting together the defense that will allow us to take full advantage of these prime AARod years, and put some more hardware in the case.
What? Left out the tweet from Finley?
Rodgers will now be getting $62.5 million in the next 3 years. That is almost exactly the same as Flacco's $63 million in the first 3 years of his new contract.
Like Matthews' contract, this is a very generous contract for the Packers.
Amazingly, the contract appears to actually lower Rodgers' cap hit for 2013. That means the Packers STILL have $15 million in cap space to use. Looks like signing Raji and Shields should be no problem at all.
I really like, Ted is telling the NFL that if you play well in Greenbay we will return the favor and make your wallet fat. I think that is will interest some free agents to take that low end offer and fill them with promise that they can make some money in little Greenbay as long as they are a team player.

I'm delighted to be allowed the honor of serving as Northshield's Youth Officer.
I would like to encourage the parents and children to work together to develop an active youth community. I do not think that only parents should be involved with youth activities, but these are our children and we should lead the way. Please offer to assist with activities at events you are attending, offer to teach a class or plan an activity. Both children and adults can do these things. I believe that the best way for our children to enjoy participation in the SCA is by - well - participating.
I would really like it if children would contact me and tell me about great children's activities they have enjoyed in the past. This will allow me to build a database of activities to share with other Ministers of Youth. If your child is too young to contact me feel free to help them share their experience. It would also be useful to have information on ideas that didn't work, please tell me why you think the activity didn't work.
I would like everyone who plans a youth activity at an event to send me a short report about how things went and what was done. I would prefer this in lieu of quarterly reports. This is the information which will make our community better and will allow me to receive and share it in a more timely fashion. These reports do not have to come from the groups official Youth Officer. They can come from the teacher of a class, activity supervisors or planners or the person who organized the activities, even all of the above.
I welcome all suggestions on how we can make the SCA a better place for our children. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

ITS would like to remind faculty and staff to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Office (version 2010 for Windows and version 2011 for Mac) at their earliest convenience. Older versions of Office will no longer be supported by Information Technology Services as of the end of 2012.
In addition, Microsoft Outlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, and ITS will begin supporting Outlook in the near future. Outlook will provide an integrated email and calendaring system to the campus community so ITS will be shifting primary support from Thunderbird to Microsoft Outlook over the next year.
The new versions of Office have been available as a free upgrade on college-owned computers since April. New technology renewal computers delivered this fall should already have the latest version of Office installed.
Visit these links for more information, and look for the installation guides on the right side of the page.
Office 2010 for Windows
Office 2011 for Mac
More information about the transition to Microsoft Outlook for email and calendar will be announced in the coming weeks.

"This was a modern/contemporary shower design that appealed to my daughter and her age appropriate group. She felt it was tastefully designed and celebrated motherhood. The paper quality was excellent and the choice of printing styles made the card individualized for her taste. She chose the black/grey motif with white lettering for most of the card and black lettering for her name. We loved the black and white polka-dots for the back of the card. It was spectacular and the guests raved about the unique shower invite that they received."
"Perfect in every detail. Color, and print well coordinated. Love them. Will definitely order again and recommend ! Great variety to pick from also. These baby girl invites were just how I wanted them! Thank you!"
"This was perfect for my daughter's baby shower. It was classy and a little girly just like we wanted. We are very happy with the results."
"Tiny prints, thanks! The service that way provided to be able to give me options to personalize the invitations was more than I expected and also to have your team to proof read is more than awesome :) Though I ended up going with the stock colors and layouts, it was nice to see that when I reached out to your design team, they gave me some alternative options, very quickly!! Thanks for making this a great experience and I look forward to my next order! Best, JT"
"I was very pleased with the quality of the card stock, the printing and the on time delivery of my invitations . I also found the website easy to use . This card is perfect for a baby shower that will be given in Dana Point , California ( the Whale sighting capital of the West )"

Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, where Gaudi's colorful architecture draws millions of visitors every year. I have recently had the opportunity to exhibit at the new Disseny Hub Barcelona / A-FAD, that opened in February 2014 with wonderful design collections on display.
The exhibition was called "El Japó, País de Contrastos" (Japan, Country of Contrast), and my contribution was a large digital design that combines traditional Japanese and Nordic imagery, highlighted with gold hand painting. I wanted to bring a playful spirit to this work, symbolic of my life in Japan.
Along with Genrroku folding screen designs by Sadato Kurotake, a modern weaving scupture by Megumi Koyama and music by Shusaku Akita, the exhibition attracted many visitors. The exhibition was curated by Jacqueline Teissier Okuma (Jackie & Partners) and Magda Polo Pujadas (A-FAD).
The exhibition was also part of the official program that commemorates 400 years of relations between Spain and Japan.

Can't wait for tonight's ride! First good snow of the year here in KS and I can almost guarentee that I'll be the only one on the trail. (Kansans are sissy-ghey-wads when it comes to winter)
Fresh powder is the best b/c there are no frozen ruts from the day before for my bike to follow. No squirrelly surprises. Just the quiet "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" noises from my home-spiked Bontrager Jones ACX's gliding across the padded singletrack.
A beautiful 45mph paved road descent was jammed right in the middle of my local trails to access a boat ramp to the river. I used to hate it, but I can't wait to smoke that one in "the white"!! Even if I do bite it on the curve...falling won't hurt b/c I'll just slide a couple-hundred feet
C'mon 4:30!

28 year old man | San Diego, CA, United States | Seeking women 22-26 within 100 miles of Sinclairville, NY
take the time and don't undervalue the best things in life..
I'm a very genuine, easy going kind of guy. A sense of humor is important. I'm always open to trying new things, and i love traveling (I have lived in NY, FL, TX and now CA). I'm very athletic and I do pretty much anything outdoors. Family is extremely important to me and I would do anything for them. I am a very forward and open person. I served in the military for 4 yrs in the air force, which involved an intense job and one tour to Afghanistan. While in the military I continued my education and still do while working in law enforcement. I'm a very driven and goal oriented person, and I don't believe in meeting someone in a bar so here I am trying this online deal. I like to think i am very mature for my age (mostly due to life experiences). ... There's so much more than I can say in a paragraph so just message me if you're interested. To start I am very particular and do not lower my standards for anyone... Faithfulness, loyalty, affectionate, funny, smart, easy going, athletic, family oriented and open to trying new things are some of the things I look for. There's nothing better then meeting someone who always puts a smile on your face and makes you want to be a better person. I'm very easy to talk to and I'm open to meeting new people. "Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes." "If you limit your choice only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

In this Jan. 28 file photo, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon shakes hands with lawmakers before delivering the annual State of the State address in Jefferson City. When it comes to money in politics, the sky is the limit in Missouri where ethics laws are the weakest in the nation, according to Nixon. Nixon vowed during his address to push a ballot initiative to reinstate campaign contribution limits if lawmakers won't do it themselves this year.
