5 nights switzerland
hi we have 5 nights to spend in Switzerland (we will be driving in from Colmar and heading back out towards Lyon) and we would like to spend maybe 2 nights in one spot and three nights in another. Can anyone suggest where would be best? We are travelling with an infant and a 5 yr old and thought we could include a scenic train ride somewhere. I have read that some of the most beautiful areas are not accessible by car - but can we leave our car nearby and then catch bus into town to stay? i know 5 nights is very short but that is all we have so looking for suggestions in order to make the most of our available time.

So we haven't told anyone we are pregnant yetĀbut when the time comes we are going to tell close friends and family.Ā However,Āwe are not planning on announcing it on Facebook.Ā I'm sure everyone will find out through the grapevine but we both have several friends that are TTC and don't want to rub anything in their face.Ā Is anyone else planning on not announcing or are we weird? Lol
Anyone NOT announcing on Facebook?
Proud Mommy to M (1/10) and A (2/12)
You're not alone, I really don't want to either.┬Ā
Nicci, Sailor & First-Time-Mama
I understand what you are saying. We will announce on Facebook though because its so easy. We never had any TTC problems but I have issues staying pregnant. Lots of friends know about my miscarriages but still announce pregnancies, genders, births...its just so easy for people to spread their joy and stay connected. Even when I've just hit a miscarriage or rough patch dealing with them I just don't get on FB so I won't get down on myself. But I would never expect someone to not share their news because they are tiptoeing around me. The thought of that makes me feel horrible.
Mommy to...
{Lucy 9/08} {and 3 sweet angels in heaven}
Nope.┬Ā┬Ā I have a friend who just had her 4th miscarriage and she woulkd have been due shortly before I am.┬Ā I don't want to be insensitive.
Proud Mommy to N ~ 7/22/09 and R ~ 1/25/12
The people we are close with we will end up telling either in person or in our normal conversations with them.┬Ā My husband is in the Navy though so I have a few friends that I know but aren't close with.┬Ā I'm sure when the time comes to announce the gender I will post something like "It's a ____!" and then everyone with obviously know lol
Proud Mommy to M (1/10) and A (2/12)
With ds it was done for us by a family member.
I probably won't announce on Facebook either.┬Ā The people close to me will know, everyone else can find out if/when they see me.┬Ā I did send a private message to a close friend who lives in another state though...
Wifey since '03
Mommy to:
S (4/06) 7.7 lbs 20" at 40.0, A (10/07) 6.15 lbs 19.5" at 39.2, N (2/12) 8.11 lbs 21" at 39.5 and G (9/13) 6.7 lbs 19" at 36.4
I would totally anounce on FB (after our family and close friends know) but my husband is very private and does not like to use FB (even though he has an account).┬Ā If it were up to just me I would do it - but I since it affects both us we probably will not announce on FB.┬Ā It will be nore funa nd preson telling people anyway - or just letting them figuring it out! :)
Life is Good.
I trust my family and close friends to not announce it if we ask them not to... I know several women on my friend's list who have been trying for over a year.┬Ā My husband's Ombudsman also told me just last month that they have been trying for almost a year and she's getting disappointed.┬Ā
Proud Mommy to M (1/10) and A (2/12)
tglee- if your worried about hurting feelings, send those ppl a msg or call them ect. and let them know.
if they are just trying naturaly right now it probably wont be a big deal, but if they are going IVF or something invasive it will hurt thier feelings no matter what you do. id tell them and be honest and warn them your putting it on FB on such and such day. if your really tight with even one of these ladies you mentioned (or have been in the past) they then can stay away form FB for a few days if they want to.
we will be announcing on FB on monday when we have a dr appt. under our belts. mostly b/c we have so much fam out of the area, and im thrilled!

The folk involved with the Tony Award-winning musical "Jersey Boys" — about the coming together and unraveling of the rock 'n' roll super act the Four Seasons — call it "Frankie Camp." And what a nice, bucolic ring that has, this recess where Frankie Valli hopefuls go to strut their falsetto.
"People think when they hear Frankie Camp — my mom certainly did — that I was going to go to upstate New York, water ski with a bunch of Frankies and make lanyards," actor Brad Weinstock joked on the phone from Dallas, where the national tour of the show stopped before coming to Denver. " Jersey Boys" opens Tuesday at the Buell Theatre and runs through Aug. 11.
The gathering, which can last as long as a week, turns out to be more boot camp than summer idle. Which doesn't make it any less fascinating and perhaps makes it even more rewarding for the actors who win the opportunity to portray Valli.
"It's kind of like being in a bizarre 'Twilight Zone,' " says Weinstock, one of two Frankies for the Denver shows. "You're with 10 guys all 5 foot 8 or under, vaguely Italian or Greek, Jewish — you know. All singing really high. It definitely makes you feel not as unique as you hoped you were."
In 1960, Jersey fellas Valli and Bob Gaudio, along with Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, formed the Four Seasons. The Marshall Brickman/Rick Elice musical recounts the group's story in four seasons from the perspective of each bandmate. With a slew of hits — among them chart toppers "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man" — the fantastic foursome competed for a time in the 1960s with the Fab Four in terms of record sales.
At the heart of the quartet's popularity was Valli's impressive vocal range and preternatural falsetto. The role is uniquely demanding, says production manager Richard Hester.
"We have a show that requires us to find somebody who's 5 foot 9 or shorter. Who looks Italian or at least passes as Mediterranean. They have to be able to sing 20 songs in falsetto. They have to be able to dance. They have to act well enough to age," Hester says. "Jersey Boys" covers a period from the guys' teens into their AARP years.
"What we're asking these guys to do is ridiculous," Hester says. Camp is really a rigorous audition process that tries to find and hone those triple threats: acting, dancing, singing. "We came up with this idea of Frankie Camp as a way for us to take more time to really investigate these guys."
The Frankie wannabes and gonnabes come to New York City (or if they happen to be trying out for the upcoming Asian tour, they Skype) and work with well-known vocal coach Katie Agresta. Visit her site and the first testimonial you'll see comes from another Jersey boy, Jon Bon Jovi.
"I call her the Frankie Whisperer because she works with every Frankie, around the world," Weinstock says.
The rigors of hitting and maintaining Valli's notes can be thrilling but also exhausting. "I liken it to training for a marathon," says Weinstock, who continues to study with Agresta.
"It took me a little time to do it well and have the stamina to do it every single week with one day off for, ideally, 52 weeks or however long your contract is for," Weinstock adds. "Frankie is the most rewarding job theatrically I've ever had, but it's also absolutely the most challenging. I sleep probably 10 hours a night... I sleep with a humidifier."
He pauses, then laughs. "Guys playing Frankie start to sound like crazy old hypochondriacs."

Yes, changing the depth of the Pokemon is definitely a feature I'll keep in mind.
I'm not sure what I'll do about the antenna though. I personally think it looks better behind the head. As for it not making sense when paired with a hat, I /could/ try to code it so that the antenna disappears when the hat is visible, but it would just be easier for the user to decide whether or not he wants the antenna there. The X option is always available. I'll also keep the position of the X box in mind. At first I did have it as a box in the first page but decided to change it to keep it visible throughout all pages of a feature.
Also, Maruno is right about the sprites. It's meant to be a paper doll dressup game, and I don't think I will create a sprite feature.
; I might consider it for a future game idea though.
This is my game!

Bullish option trading in General Electric (GE)
General Electric (NYSE: GE ) shares popped nearly 1% higher in Tuesday's trading as the broader market welcomed some attention from buyers. GE has been slowly recovering from its early-July low and yesterday a trader opted for a bullish strategy. What's more, he or she financed a long call purchase with the sale of a short put.
Typically, the combination of a short put and long call is known as a synthetic long stock or sometimes a risk reversal. It's a way options traders can use calls and puts to simulate the price action of the underlying stock itself. (The profit/loss chart below, as of today, demonstrates how the spread rises along with the stock). One drawback to this strategy is that option investors do not collect dividends, and GE's dividend yield is currently more than 3%.
In this situation, the trader added an element of time. A block of 10,000 January 15 puts were sold for $1.13 (a penny below the bid at the time) and a same-sized block of the March 19 calls were purchased for 38 cents (the ask price). The investor collected a net credit of 75 cents for the spread.
Through January expiration, it behaves like a synthetic long stock. After the puts expire, the investor is left holding a long call. This call has unlimited potential gains above $19.38 and a maximum loss of just 38 cents (the premium paid). Remember that this net debit was offset, however, by the credit collected for selling the near-the-money, shorter-term put.

The sixth annual NYC Resistor Interactive Show is coming up this Caturday at 8pm. We have an overly generous baker's dozen artists building a show fit for both organic and robotic party goers. We mentioned a few in our previous post, and here are a few more…
INTERACTIVE SHOW: May 30th 8PM, be there!
Mark your calendars! Our annual interactive art show fundraiser is coming up on May 30th and it's going to be totally ~cyberbananas~. New York's partiest interactive artists will be showing off their latest explorations into the future, sometimes with robots! Tickets sell out fast, so bump it up to 88 miles per hours and reserve yours today.
Tickets available online or at the door: $15
The Interactive Show is coming up faster than Big Dog on a graphene high! This year we've been musing over the future and our relationship between us our robot friends. So much of our imaginations have been shoehorned into narratives of subservience (Jetsons, the Matrix) or all-out war (Terminator, the Butlerian Jihad). Why not envision a future where we party hard with our robotic friends instead? This year, we're calling all of Brooklyn's finest interaction artists to portray the future, preferably with robots in it, through interactive art. Here's some footage from last year's show to give you an idea of what you'd be in for:
This year's show will be May 30th. If you're interested in being part of a show, drop us a line at email@example.com! Try to get in touch by April 26th so we can make sure there's space for your project. Hope to hear from you soon!
Megascroller Mario at the Interactive Show
Megascroller is the 512×64, 32-sided upgrade to Octoscroller, which was the eight sided RGB update to the venerable six-sided red LED Hexascroller. Megascroller is featured as one of the art pieces at the upcoming Interactive Show — on the giant cylinder you can play different video games in the round. Unlike normal side-scrollers, you have to move sideways to keep up with the onscreen characters. Here's a video as we play-test Mario (source code) and discuss some tweaks to the game to enhance the fun (there is some interaction with the camera shutter that makes artifacts in the movie).
Buy your tickets now! and come see Megascroller plus lots of other fun interactive art at the 2014 Interactive Show. The doors open this Saturday at 8pm! The show is over and was great fun! Here's a video of Mario being played in the round sometime late last night:

I am currently using Git on the command line to help me incrementally add features without breaking existing code. The part that worries me is this line of output from Git after committing:
[optimized_managed_event 6c9a98c] Added managed event insert into my ContentProvider
12 files changed, 202 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)
rewrite bin/classes.dex (87%)
rewrite bin/classes/com/zeroe/SmartCalProvider.class (85%)
Should I worry about the rewrites if they are .class files and other types that aren't text? I am fairly new to Git, but am pretty comfortable with the command line and I understand the basic workflow for most Git projects:
> git add .
> git commit -m 'comment on commit'
> git checkout [master]
> git merge [branch]
What I am slightly worried about is issues that can occur when committing, then merging since Android projects have a lot of files that it creates itself in different formats.
My question is essentially in anything I need to worry about when doing this in Android development?

Hey, everyone!
So I 'm not sure if this is the right place to put this request, but I've been looking for a new lens to go with my 20D. I only have a budget of about $150, and will plan to sell the EF-S stock lens that I "sort-of" got with my camera.
Does anyone have any glass that they can retire? It has to have an EF mount.

Try carrot puree in this Asian-inspired dish. Jessica says, "[It's] sweet and spicy; just like you!"

"Buttered" Noodles
Butternut squash puree give this traditionally unhealthy dish nutrients. "This for those who rank high on the picky scale," says Jessica.

Teriyaki Chicken
"Just say 'teriyaki' and the room lights up," offers Jessica. Still, this isn't just any teriyaki chicken; carrot puree is hidden within.

Spaghetti and Meatballs
Jessica calls this dish "a classic with a nice boost." The boost? Both butternut squash and carrot puree.

Sloppy Joes
Jessica adds sweet potato and butternut squash or red pepper puree to her Sloppy Joes. "I serve this in hotdog buns," she shares. "A hotdog bun filled with something that's not a hotdog is very funny to some kids. Or my kids, I guess."

Sesame Beef with Broccoli
"This is an old standby at the Seinfelds," says Jessica of her sesame beef with broccoli. "It's also the only way I can get a certain child in my house to eat broccoli."

Chicken Nuggets
"Probably the most coveted kids meal in the U.S.A.," jokes Jessica. "So, I had to make them a little better for us to feel good about making them. Constantly." To do so, Jessica adds broccoli, spinach, sweet potato or beet puree.

"Another weekly standard at our house," shares Jessica. "It's so easy to pump up the nutrients in this one," which she does with sweet potato, carrot or butternut squash puree.

Apricot Chicken
"I came up with this chicken dish on the fly," she says of her apricot chicken with carrot puree. "Pun intended. So few ingredients and almost no dirty dishes. I can't do better than this."

Hello OGMontana,
The following article may be helpful in getting Home Sharing back on track with its setup.
You might try skipping to step 6, as it may be the most relevant step for your particular situation.
6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
If connectivity issues persist, quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, quit and reopen the apps on your iOS device. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211)
If this does not get things up and running, I'd recommend following all steps outlined in the article.
All the best,

Arena Media has picked up the media business for beauty and skin graft specialists Nanoblur.
The Canadian company claims to transform skin and minimise the signs of ageing, as well as smooth the look of lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and uneven texture.
Arena Media will handle the media for Nanoblur's first foray into UK TV, for ads created in-house. They will be accompanied by press and outdoor activity targeting ABC women aged 35 and over.
The new campaign will launch on 23 March 2013 and Arena Media suggest spend will be in the region of £2m over the next year.
Developed by Indeed Laboratories, Nanoblur was originally created so that on-camera talent could smooth out HD visible imperfections that were previously not detectable with traditional cameras.
The cosmetic product retails for £19 exclusively in Boots and launched in the UK at the end of 2011.
Dia Foley, vice-president of sales and marketing at Indeed Laboratories, said: "We all just want to look like the best version of ourselves. To this end, we look forward to working with Arena to spread the Nanoblur message."

Your Opinion: Right to Farm opposed
Sunday, July 27, 2014
Dear Editor:
Are the people's rights, whether they be farmers or not, important to our political leaders? Are politicians promoting the Right to Farm (RTF) constitutional amendment protecting corporations who can contribute heavily to their campaigns and give them lobbyists jobs after their political careers or are they looking out for the general public?
The main argument for RTF is that Missouri's farmers are under attack from frivolous lawsuits. But wait, agricultural producers already benefit from special right-to-farm legislation in all major agricultural states. In Missouri, statute 537.295 is one law that already gives this protection. See it under statutes at www.moga.mo.gov. So why push so hard for a constitutional change and mislead the public about farmer's protections?
Quoted sections below are from an op-ed in the Columbia Tribune by John Ikerd, professor emeritus in agriculture and economics from MU. Making RTF a special constitutional right would give "Foreign corporations — including the largest pork, beef and poultry processors in the U.S. — rights that ordinary American citizens do not have, including special exemptions from Occupational Health and Safety Administration, Clean Water and Clean Air Acts and legitimate nuisance lawsuits. These corporations will benefit from increased consumption of animal products among affluent consumers in developing countries, such as China and Korea. They get the benefits; we keep the chemical and biological wastes."
RTF amendments are yet another example of corporate agriculture trying to protect itself from a public increasingly aware of significant issues with the safety of the U.S. food system. If put into the constitution, RTF would also make impossible any future regulation deemed necessary for public health related to, for example, genetically modified organisms and concentrated animal feeding operations.
Again John Ikerd ,"There are better alternatives for the future than industrial agriculture. An emerging sustainable agriculture, including organically grown crops and humanely raised livestock and poultry, will be capable of providing enough healthful food at affordable costs meeting the food needs of Americans and of feeding the world without industrial technologies that pollute the environment and degrade society."
"People have an inherent right to defend themselves whenever they have legitimate reason to believe their safety, health or essential well-being is threatened. Constitutions were never intended to give special rights to any particular group of people, but instead to ensure that no particular people, including farmers, are able to deny the inherent rights of others."
Vote no on 1.

Chevrolet has revamped their mid-sized Malibu sedan while keeping handling, comfort and fuel economy in mind. Taking exterior design cues from the Camaro and efficient aerodynamics from the Volt, the 2.5L four-cylinder engine six-speed automatic powers it along for a quieter, smoother ride. Beefier than previous versions, this Malibu sports a tightly designed exterior that competes with the sharpness of the Hyundai Sonata. The most impressive aspect of the Malibu, especially in light of current escalating gas prices, is the fuel efficiency; the design is not just about aesthetics as it significantly reduces wind drag – nearly 60 points – compared to the previous model.

|2011 Chevrolet Volt
By Dan Tsuchiya
- Great Design and better looking than any Prius made to date
- Electricity first; leading to 250-500 mpg if you have access an outlet
- Feels safer and more substantial than it's competitors
- 0-60 acceleration faster than a Honda Civic
- Electric Vehicle (EV) range limited to 35 miles before gas motor has to recharge batteries
- Interior has too many hard plastic surfaces
- Soft-touch buttons are too sensitive
- Navigation and radio are integrated such that you can't have one on without the other
Living with the Chevrolet Volt is about making a green statement, but without the usual green sacrifices. It's not a hybrid as defined by the Toyota and Honda camp, it's an extended range electric vehicle (EV) that combines the gas saving benefits of pure electric cars with the range and convenience of conventional gas powered cars. While the Toyota and Honda camps utilize gas and electricity in parallel, the Volt takes a series approach, EV first then gas. The EV range fully charged is about 35 miles and once that power depletes, the Volt fires up its 1.4L engine to charge the batteries and provide juice to the electric motor, allowing for another 250-300 miles of driving under normal conditions.

40 MPG Cars – Affordable and Fuel Efficient
With fuel prices continually rising, 40+ mpg cars are looking like a great option for consumers who can't afford or don't want hybrid technology. Without breaking the bank, these affordable fuel efficient cars range from $15,000 to about $20,000 and all provide 40 mpg or more highway mpg driving. Companies that have joined the 40-mpg club are Ford, Honda, Kia, Mazda, Hyundai, Chevrolet, and Smart.
Automakers are achieving the 40 mpg mark by using lighter-weight materials, modern gasoline powered engines with direct injection and six-speed automatic transmissions along with additional fuel-saving technologies such as low-rolling-resistance tires.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Goes Diesel for North America
News has emerged that the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze will be available as a diesel engine option for the North American market, with sales expected to begin sometime in 2012. GM Inside News sources at the Lordstown, Ohio assembly, where the Chevy Cruze is produced, are said to have confirmed they will start building a diesel model for the 2013 model year. The Chevrolet Cruze is a popular car that is sold in over 60 countries worldwide in gasoline and diesel engine models and was just recently launched in the North America market. With Americans becoming more interested in fuel efficiency and smaller sized cars, the diesel powered Cruze could be a step in the right direction.

ZL1 Camaro, Redesigned 2012 Acura TL, Audi TT RS – 2011 Chicago Auto Show
Article and photos by Megan Green
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Minutes before the much anticipated debut of the Chevy Camaro Z28, it was all over Twitter that the car revealed would actually be a ZL1. A high performance Camaro, the aluminum hood is raised with a vented insert, rear diffusers and spoiler, and 20 inch forged aluminum wheels. Under the hood is the LSA 6.2L V8 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. The ZL1′s power comes from a supercharged aluminum-block 6.2-liter V8 producing an estimated 550 hp.
The interior is given as much attention as the exterior design with microfiber suede inserts on heated leather seats. Unique to the ZL1 is a leather wrapped shifter and steering wheel, redesigned with the bottom of the wheel squared off and ZL1 badges. The ZL1 is still in development, though, and is projected to be available in early 2012. The ZL1 name is taken from the 1969 Camaro ZL1, which had an aluminum block 440-hp 427-cubic inch V8.

By contributing editor David Colman
- Breakthrough engineering tour de force
- No driving sacrifice needed to validate green passport
- Interior design top notch
- Even with tax rebate, pricey
- Not the package for the driving enthusiast
- 35 mile battery radius seems hardly worth the extra cost and weight
You'll be reading reams of technical information about this car in the months to come, but what's it really like to drive? Based on a 100 mile round trip between Sausalito and Marshall, the Volt offers a workable solution to everyday transportation for 4 with the added bonus of 25-50 miles of gas-free operation daily. Volt operates in 2 different modes. There's battery power, which is good for that gas-free 25-50 mile romp, plus gasoline power for an added range of about 350 miles. If you drive short trips every day, it could be months before you need to refill the Volt's 9.2 gallon gas tank.

Car Companies are Spending Big Bucks on Super Bowl Ads
2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) , the biggest television event of the year is coming up this Sunday, February 6, and the auto companies are spending big bucks ($3 million for 30 seconds) on advertising that will rival beer companies' air time. Car makers such as Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Suzuki, Volkswagen, and Bridgestone are all going to be making TV appearances from pre-game through post-game shows. Some companies have already started to build their campaigns before Super Bowl Sunday through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Audi is stirring up interest for their A8 Super Bowl commercials by posting the "Audi Estate Sale" on Facebook and messages on Twitter. Audi will also takeover YouTube's homepage on Super Bowl Sunday.

Porsche, Buick, Modern Muscle Cars at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit
Article and photos by Megan Green
Porsche 918 RSR
At a 6:30 a.m. press conference in snowy Detroit, the press gathered around in anticipation of the first reveal of the day. With smoky fanfare, Porsche rolled out their 918 RSR , a high-end hybrid sports car. The best of the 2010 Spyder concept and 911 GT3 R hybrid were combined to create the fluid yet powerful two-seat coupe powered by a V8 mid-engine. Two electric motors on the front axle contribute as well as store power while braking, utilizing its flywheel accumulator – taking the place of a second seat to the right of the driver. On the console, modern touch technology is eschewed in favor of rocker switches. Finishing aesthetic touches include brown leather bucket seats and steering wheel, wing doors, with the body painted a cool blue accented with bright orange racing stripes and brake calipers. It's just a shame that the 918 RSR didn't stick around for more admiration during the public show days.

|2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Specs
By Alex Kramer
- If 505 hp isn't enough for you, seek help
- With tires as wide as oil drums, lateral grip is abundant
- Hit them hard and the carbon-ceramic brakes will stand the car on its nose
- Surprisingly decent fuel efficiency for such a big engine
- Iconic exterior design definitely looks the part of an all-out sports car
- Suspension gets unsettled over rough pavement
- Embarrassing interior for a $100k car
- Requires a racetrack to fully explore the performance potential
Sometimes the weather can be cruel. Very cruel. Especially when you are scheduled to test one of the fastest production cars available for under $100k and the forecast calls for lots of rain and cold temperatures. Sure, rolling up to the multiplex in a car that can run with Ferraris and Lamborghinis is kinda cool, but oh what would we have given for some nicer testing conditions.
The car in question is the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6. With a 505 hp 7.0 L V8 engine, a sub 4 second 0-60 time, and a sticker price starting around $70k, the ZO6 has offered supercar levels of performance at a budget price since 2006. Although now eclipsed by the Corvette ZR1, which was reborn in 2009 with a supercharged engine making an astounding 638 hp, the ZO6 is still one of the fastest machines on the road today, especially for the money.

Someone give this man a prize, eh? Reverb's own John Roderick and Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards (aka Justin Vernon's girlfriend ) co-wrote "A Soft Place
Someone give this man a prize, eh?Reverb's own John Roderick and Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards (aka Justin Vernon's girlfriend) co-wrote "A Soft Place To Land" on the singer's 2012 release Voyageur, and the song has been nominated for an Echo, a Canadian songwriting prize. The award aims to: "Recognize the best in new Canadian independent music by letting you - independent music fans - vote for the winners."
With past nominees like Arcade Fire, Caribou, Chad VanGaalen, and Wolf Parade in the fold, Reverb's snarkiest columnist (and ubiquitous local collaborator: Shelby Earl, Visqueen, Ken Stringfellow, etc.) stands in distinguished company--and a strong winning chance.
Any member of the public can vote once a day until October 10th; hear the nominated tune after the jump.

It used to be that facts were the one thing you couldn't spin. Hence them being facts. Nowadays, however, even facts are subject to political bullshitification. Case in point: the full page ad in Thursday's Seattle Times taken out by the King County Police Officers Guild.
"That leaves 98.65 percent for them to spend on everything else," states the ad before noting some of those other things as: "foot ferries and gravel pits."
Only 1.35 percent? Boy, at that rate we should have two sheriff's offices.
The problem is: the guild isn't basing its math on the county's general fund budget--you know, the one that is actually used to pay for running the city. It's basing it on the overall $5.1 billion budget that factors in all kinds of capital expenses and transportation funds that pack two years worth of projections in, while the other budgets only pack one.
In other words, it's a completely different thing.
The amount of the general fund that the county spends on its sheriff's office is actually about 22 percent.
The Daily Weekly put a call in to KCPOG President Steve Eggert--a man whose reputation for avoiding the press is positively mythic. Thus, we're not holding our breath for a call back.

Political Views in the Preaching of Giovanni Dominici in Renaissance Florence, 1400-1406. (*)
Ben, Nirit, Debby, Aryeh, Renaissance Quarterly
In a letter to the well-known merchant, Francesco Datini, Chiara Gambacorta, a nun from an aristocratic Pisan family, wrote:
I know that the venerable preacher, our father, the Friar Giovanni Dominici, will preach in our central church this Lent. So I beg you, for your love of Christ, that you hear his sermons . . . heal in your soul and in your body. Such perfect food are his sacred sermons!
I believe that he has already begun to preach feast days. Now you have the means to turn entirely good; I have never heard any one instruct so perfectly all kinds of people. (1)
Such a testimony shows the favorable impression and strong impact the Dominican preacher made on his listeners. (2)
The role of religion in Florentine history has attracted much attention in the past few decades. (3) Most scholars when discussing preaching in Renaissance Florence have focused on Savonarola (1452-1498). Two historians, Marvin Becker and Daniel Lesnick, have discussed the political role of preachers, but mostly in relation to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. David Peterson has written on Archbishop Antoninus (1389-1459) and his contribution to the institutional history of the Church, while more recently Peter Howard has discussed the public theology of the archbishop and the spiritual guidance he offered. (4)
Little attention has been paid to the important Dominican preacher Giovanni Dominici (1356-1419), who was active in Florence in the first decade of the fifteenth century. (5) In his book on apocalyptic expectations Roberto Rusconi (1979) has included Dominici, and Peter Denley (1982) has written on his opposition to the studia humanitatis. More recently, such historians as Giorgio Cracco (1990) and Daniel Bornstein (1993) have examined Dominici's place in the religious life of his times, especially during his Venetian sojourn. For all that, Dominici's main activity, his career as a preacher, has been overlooked, and almost the entire corpus of his sermons remains unpublished. Only Daniel Lesnick, in a pioneering article on civic preaching (1990), dealt briefly with the political aspect of Dominici's sermons, placing him within a tradition of Dominican civic preaching that began with Remigio de' Girolami and Giordano da Pisa and climaxed with Savonarola.
This study documents the charismatic preacher as a leading actor on the stage of Renaissance Florence, preaching as a powerful mode of political propaganda. It places Dominici's preaching and his political message within the Florentine context of his time, while acknowledging his place within the overall tradition of Dominican civic preaching. The political thought of Giovanni Dominici was influenced by traditional Dominican, Aristotelian thinking about the bene comune, and by the "civic humanist" thought of Coluccio Salutati and Leonardo Bruni. Dominici has often been presented as an adversary of the humanists, and as a traditionalist in his thought; yet he seems to have paid considerable attention to what the humanists had to say about government. He presented an ambivalent attitude toward Florentine civic ideals. On the one hand, he supported such ideals as the active life and Florence's descent from the Roman republic. On the other hand, he criticized humanist rhetoric and the rise of the professional po litician, central values in the civic world of Florence in the opening years of the fifteenth century.
Giovanni Dominici was born in Florence in 1356, son of the silk merchant Domenico di Banchino and his wife, Paola Zorzi, a Venetian noblewoman. (6) His father died before Dominici's birth, and he was educated by his mother. Wanting him to be a merchant, she sent him to Venice for two years (1371-1372). Yet upon his return, when only seventeen, Dominici decided to join the Dominican order at Santa Maria Novella. He became a follower of the mystic and church reformer Catherine of Siena, whom he met in Pisa in 1376-1377. …

It is one of the most important and valuable benefits available to teachers.
The NITPS is contracted-out of the State Second Pension (S2P) and guarantees to pay benefits which are at least as high as those the state would pay. Although you will be contracted out of S2P you will receive a Basic State Pension in addition to your teacher's pension.
If you need general information about the Northern Ireland Teachers' Pension Scheme (new window), there is a Members' Guide (new window) available.
You can get detailed information on all aspects of the NITPS from their leaflets and fact sheets (new window).
Local Government Pension Scheme
If you are a member of the Local Government Pension Scheme for Northern Ireland the Northern Ireland Local Government Officers' Superannuation Committee (new window) provides details of pension provisions and benefits available.
State Pension Benefits
If you need information about your State Pension Benefits (new window), including an On-line Pensions Forecast (new window) of your State Pension, the most reliable source is the Pensions Service (new window) website.
There is a whole range of help and advice on state pensions and other state benefits available in the UK on the Department for Work and Pensions (new window) website.
Pension Consultation Responses
As and when necessary the Union responds to Government and other consultation exercises of particular relevance to the NASUWT and its members. There is a page containing copies of recent NASUWT Consultation Responses in the area of Pensions.
Members needing further information or assistance should contact their Regional Centre.

Flurbiprofen is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Flurbiprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Flurbiprofen is used to treat pain or inflammation caused by arthritis.
Flurbiprofen may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
This medicine may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke. Do not use flurbiprofen just before or after having heart bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are taking flurbiprofen, especially in older adults.
Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of stomach bleeding such as black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
This medicine may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term. Do not use flurbiprofen just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are taking flurbiprofen, especially in older adults.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to flurbiprofen, or if you have:
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a flurbiprofen dose adjustment or special tests:
FDA pregnancy category C. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Taking flurbiprofen during the last 3 months of pregnancy may harm the unborn baby. Do not take flurbiprofen during pregnancy unless your doctor has told you to.
Flurbiprofen can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give this medicine to a child without the advice of a doctor.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking flurbiprofen and seek medical attention or call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
Less serious side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, or pain medicine. Many medicines available over the counter contain medicines similar to flurbiprofen (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen). Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this type of medication. Check the label to see if a medicine contains aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Tell your doctor if you are taking an antidepressant such as citalopram (Celexa), duloxetine (Cymbalta), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, Symbyax), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), or venlafaxine (Effexor). Taking any of these drugs with flurbiprofen may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with flurbiprofen. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
The maximum amount of flurbiprofen for adults is 400 milligrams (mg) per day. Know the amount of flurbiprofen in the specific product you are taking.
If you take flurbiprofen for a long period of time, your doctor may want to check you on a regular basis to make sure this medication is not causing harmful effects. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.
Store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood, urinating less than usual or not at all, shallow breathing, and fainting.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
