Testimony :: Hon. Christopher H. Smith
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
In 1989, the world watched in horror as images emerged from Romania of more than 100,000 underfed, neglected children living in hundreds of squalid and inhumane institutions throughout that country. Six weeks after the end of the dictatorial regime of Nicolae Ceausescu, I and members of my staff visited Romania where we witnessed first hand the misery and suffering of children. They were the littlest victims of Ceausescu's policies which undermined the family and fostered the belief that children were often better cared for in an institution than by their families.
American citizens responded to this humanitarian crisis with an outpouring of compassion. For years now, Americans have opened their hearts, their checkbooks and have committed their vacation days offering their own labor to help Romania improve conditions in these institutions. Many families also opened their hearts to one or more of these children through adoption. Between 1990 and 2004, 8,213 Romanian children found permanent families in the United States; thousands of others joined families in Western Europe.
The legacies of Ceausescu's rule continue to haunt Romania and, when coupled with widespread poverty, have led to the continued abandonment of Romania children. According to a March 2005 report by UNICEF, "child abandonment in 2003 and 2004 [in Romania] was no different from that occurring 10, 20, or 30 years ago." UNICEF reports that more than 9,000 children a year are abandoned in Romania's maternity wards or pediatric hospitals. According to the European Union, 37,000 children remain in institutions. Nearly 49,000 more live in non-permanent settings in "foster care" or with extended families. An unknown number of children live on the streets.
As a participating State of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Romanian Government agreed in the 1990 Copenhagen Document that it would "accord particular attention to the recognition of the rights of the child, his civil rights and his individual freedoms, his economic, social and cultural rights, and his right to special protection against all forms of violence and exploitation." Romania agreed further to "recognize in their domestic legislation the rights of the child as affirmed in the international agreements to which they are Parties." Romania is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption. Our distinguished witnesses will provide their analyses of whether Romania is fulfilling its commitments under these conventions.
Sadly, the corruption which has plagued Romania's economy and governance also seeped into the adoption system. The corruption needed to be rooted out, but using corruption as the hook, the question of Romania's institutionalized children came under the scrutiny of an avowed foe of intercountry adoption—Baroness Emma Nicholson. As a Member of the European Parliament, who until recently served as rapporteur for Romania's accession to the European Union, Lady Nicholson proudly asserts that she has "led the fight against the trade in children, known as Inter-Country Adoption." Lady Nicholson has stated, "it was a mistake from the beginning to assume that for a child, a foreign adoptive family is better than the family which can not care for him. This is totally false." Lady Nicholson has no facts to support her allegations as to the dire fate of children adopted internationally and, indeed, her allegations have been refuted by UNICEF.
Lady Nicholson's position as rapporteur allowed her to pressure the Romanian Government into declaring a moratorium on international adoptions in 2001 and, in June 2004, to enact a law banning inter-country adoption except in the case of biological grandparents living outside the country. Romania's new law on adoptions, and another addressing child protection, create a hierarchy of placement for abandoned children including domestic adoption, foster care and institutionalization. This law is based upon the misguided proposition that a foster family, or even an institution, is preferable to an adoptive family outside the child's country of birth. Sadly, since few more than 1,000 Romanian children are domestically adopted each year, the remaining 8,000 abandoned yearly have been sentenced to a life in foster care, usually in large group homes, or in institutions. Denial of a permanent family will fall hardest on the Roma children who are least likely to be adopted in-country due to pervasive societal prejudice against the Roma minority.
Prior to enactment of the anti-adoption law, approximately 1700 adoption cases were registered with the Romanian Government; of these, 200 children had been matched with adoptive parents in the United States and the remainder with parents in Western Europe. Dozens of these waiting parents are in this hearing room today. They have come from across the United States to let President Basescu know that they are still waiting to adopt their children.
Many other prospective adoptive parents have contacted the Helsinki Commission. One couple, Peter and Julia Heisey, are Americans who live in Timisoara, Romania. They have cared for a little girl in their home since 2001—when she was 10 days old. The baby's biological mother was not able to keep her and the biological mother's stepfather threatened to throw the baby out into the street. The Heiseys began the process of adopting this child years ago, they have jumped through every bureaucratic hoop, including several months of officials from the Child Protection Service trying to get the birth-mother to visit the child in their home, only to finally acknowledge that she had no interest in caring for the child. This child has been in the Heisey's home for virtually all of the first four years of her life and knows no other parents. The Heiseys are devoted to her, want her to be their daughter forever, and are now told that because of the new law on adoption, this will never be.
The Tolleson family from Arkansas also wrote to us about an 11-year-old girl named Andrea that they have been trying to adopt for five years. They talk to Andrea every Saturday. As any loving parent would do, they send letters and packages to her, and she sends them drawings that they display in their home. They have traveled to Romania twice to be with her. Andrea spent the first four years of her life in the "maternal hospital" where she was abandoned at birth. When she was four, the government sent her back to her biological family who for a month left her alone in the dark in their shanty house, without adequate food and attention,. Eventually, near death, Andrea was then taken back to the hospital. At age 5, she was moved into her current orphanage.
This hearing asks the question: how can it possibly be in the best interest of these children to deny them the chance to grow up in families who love them so much? Within the next week I will introduce a resolution in Congress calling on Romania to process these pipeline cases and reverse its anti-adoption law. Who in the European Union will stand with Members of Congress to protect these defenseless children? All children deserve better than to spend their lives in group homes or warehoused in institutions where their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual well-being is critically endangered. It is indeed tragic if the price of admission to the European Union is the sacrifice of thousands of Romania's children.

Harbor Freight Tools - Classic LifeWritten by on September 1, 2009 Harbor Freight Since 1968
As far back as I can remember I've always loved working on mechanical things and having the right tools to do it with. At a little over 4 years old, one of the presents I really wanted for Christmas in 1956 was a Handy Andy toolset. The toy toolset soon gave way to owning the real thing as soon I got my first bicycle, a 24-inch Rollfast that was made in England. The first thing I did to the Rollfast was to pull the fenders off, and throw on a set of ape-hangers with a stretched gooseneck that put the handgrips way above my head. My dad told me at the time it probably was a mistake, but he didn't stop me, he always seemed to let me find things out for myself. When it came to tools the old man was real picky to the point we always washed everything in mineral spirits (paint thinner) before we could put them back in the toolbox. He taught me to buy the best tools I could afford, and to always take care of them. In 1969 when I decided to pull my '47 Chevy panel down to the bare frame there were a lot of new tools that I needed to go out and buy. With my budget the Snap-on name wasn't even in the hat, I took a trip to Sears in El Monte, California, and bought as many Craftsman handtools as I could afford. To my disappointment I discovered to be able to purchase a new Craftsman bench grinder or drill press even Sears' prices were out of my league. Shortly afterwards I spotted an advertisement for a new Harbor Freight store that had just opened in my neighborhood with ridiculously low prices offered for some of the equipment I needed. Some of the Harbor Freight tools I bought in '69 never lived to see 1970, and then some I still have today. At the time I bought Harbor Freight tools my hopes were they would last long enough to earn enough money to save up and buy a better known brand. In my wildest dreams I never thought I would still be using some of them in the 21st century.

I bought Harbor Freight's 110-lb anvil because I like things that are made in Russia. When it went on sale I couldn't resist the fact it is made of cast steel and not crummy cast-iron like the inferior made Chinese anvils. If I ever get serious about using it, I'll dress the horn (beak) off with a body grinder, until it has a nice shape like an anvil costing a whole lot more money.Another product from the former Soviet Union, I had to have Harbor Freight's item number 40089 buffer stand made in the Ukraine......This thing has three times the wall thickness of anything else made out of steel on the market today. The green paint had runs in it, and the holes didn't quite line up, and man, is it ever heavy!Always look on Harbor Freight's website for sales. This 36127 grinder buffer mounted on the Ukrainian stand has been superseded since I bought it for around half price, but it still works like a champ.I bought this drill press vice from Harbor Freight in 1983 for around $15. In 2009 one can still buy one from Harbor Freight for around $15. Try buying a new Buick at a 1983 price.
This type of pneumatic body saw first appeared on the market in the early '90s for around $60. I bought this one in 2006 on sale from Harbor Freight for $15. At those kind of prices you only need to use the thing once and it's paid for itself.I bought this drill press in 1982. The chuck had to be changed in '83, and a collar broke, so I had to make another one, but it still bores holes like crazy, and I've never changed the V-belts.My larger die-grinder (above) was purchased at Harbor Freight in 1977 for $15 and thanks to religious application of premium lubricating oils still works like a champ. Notice its smaller exact duplicate is a Harbor Freight model I bought in 2008 on sale for $15, and I'll bet the little bugger outlives me.Harbor Freight is a great place to find handy goodies most other stores do not stock. For less than $50 Harbor Freight item 39152 converts a garden variety 2 1/4 -ton floor jack into a fully-functioning automatic transmission jack.
This photo was taken at the Orange, CA, Harbor Freight store. I've been dreaming of getting an aluminum floor jack ever since the little "red guy" died. Notice there's a little red trolley jack on the extreme right.As I remember, the "trolley jack" was originally an English design and started appearing in Harbor Freight stores as a Taiwanese copy in the mid '70s. I bought this one in '75 for $35 and it lasted until June 24, 2008. Through the years I've seen them on sale at Harbor Freight for as low as $15.Under the Hydraulics banner is where you can find the real specialized equipment at Harbor Freight. Check out the 1-ton telescoping Gantry crane or the cherry pickers and you'll see what I mean.

Kim Kardashian Going On Tour?
by Daily Dish
posted Sep 19 2013 4:02AM
Time to pack up the bags! Kim Kardashian is planning on taking her infant daughter North on tour when her baby daddy Kanye West goes on his Yeezus Tour. BUT a family insider is saying that Kim Kardashian will get tired of being relegated as a groupie backstage and will only travel to certain cities. When Kanye West kicks off the first leg of the tour in Seattle on October 19, Kim Kardashian will be waiting in his dressing room once the concert finishes. North West will be back at the hotel. The new parents don't want her to be exposed to a lot of people and random strangers. Kanye West doesn't want to be away from the baby for more than three days. Clearly, Kim Kardashian has her own life, so it will be very interesting to see how they deal with this next phase of their relationship.
That didn't take long! After barely a day that it was confirmed that he officially broke it off with Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth has already been spotted kissing singer-actress Eiza Gonzalez at her apartment complex in Beverly Hills. This comes just a few days after going clubbing with her in Vegas. The two must have really hit it off! Liam Hemsworth was only there for about five minutes but they both looked very happy together. Yesterday I reported that Liam Hemsworth is even letting MIley Cyrus keep the engagement ring he bought her. On top of that, the latest report is that Liam Hemsworth apparently wanted out of the relationship MONTHS ago. Ouch! He's making Miley Cyrus look pretty bad!
Gwyneth Paltrow is a gym rat, and not in a good way! Apparently she has a huge list of demands at the gym that top most Hollywood divas. Gwyneth Paltrow sweats it out at her high end gyms for two hours a day but listen to what her requests are during those two hours. Before she showers, Gwyneth Paltrow makes someone go into the stall and wipe the entire shower dry. She refuses to touch what she calls "somebody else's shower water.'" Then, Gwyneth Paltrow loves SmartWater, but the gym doesn't normally have the bottles. So when she's there, they have to send someone to the gas station to buy a couple of bottles. She also refuses to use toilet paper that anyone has touched and demands an unopened package. HER BUTT IS BETTER THAN OURS!
Let the denials begin! Us Magazine reported that Jennifer Aniston was pregnant and everyone was excited! Why wouldn't we be? I think we all want to see Jennifer Aniston have a baby. Well guess what? Jennifer Aniston's people are getting right on top of that report IMMEDIATELY. Her people are saying it isn't true. Jennifer Aniston's rep said: "US Magazine is wrong once again! She is NOT pregnant." Hmm. What do you think? Clearly, Jennifer Aniston's rep could be lying. She does work for her afterall, and if Jennifer Aniston wants to keep things quiet until her pregnancy reaches a certain period, her rep has to go along with that. I hope the rep is lying and Jennifer Aniston can finally have the baby that she's always wanted to have!
Normally if you wake up and find that someone has invaded your home, you would freak out right? Well, what if that person was Alicia Keys? That's exactly what happened to one woman when Alicia Keys and her husband rented a house in the Hamptons at the end of the summer when they mixed up addresses and wound up bringing their whole entourage to party in a total stranger's house while she was home! The woman was upstairs in the bedroom at the house and she heard noises downstairs. The woman's daughter and her friends were partying earlier in the night before going out, so she thought that the noise was that they all came home. When the woman went down to check, bam! There was Alicia Keys taking over her house! They all got a good laugh out of it. Maybe Alicia got in with her Keys… Get it?
Bring the drama! Let's hope the cast members of The Big Bang Theory get what they want, otherwise we may just see our favorite television show disappear. It was reported that Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki all were asking for a pay raise when it came to each episode for season 8. Now, we're finding out just how much they want. Currently, the actors each earn about $350,000 per episode PLUS a percentage of profits from the syndication of the number one CBS show. Now, they're going to ask for half a million PER EPISODE.
This isn't the first time stars have banded together for a pay-raise. Remember when the cast of Friends did it to get a salary for their last season? And guess what, they did it, securing a one million dollar per episode salary! With
Big Bang Theory
being nominated for eight Emmys and having 18.6 million viewers, I think they'll work something out!
Good news, Beatles fans! Carrie Underwood plans to take the stage this at this Sunday's Emmys to perform a tribute to The Beatles!! It will be the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' famous appearance on
The Ed Sullivan Show
! Emmy producers are keeping quiet on the possibility of any special guests that will potentially take the stage with her!!! Maybe Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will make an appearance, we can only hope!
Is Kelly Osbourne a filthy slob? Well, she's suing her former landlord for a lot of money and to prove that she isn't gross! That's right, Kelly Osbourne is in a middle of a lawsuit where she is claiming to have rented a fancy apartment in West Hollywood. Kelly Osbourne put down a $18,700 security deposit before moving in and when she moved out, she claims the landlord never bothered to stop by to check out the unit, but shortly after she moved out he sent her an email notifying her of an estimate of damages. According to the landlord, the damage and cleaning expenses ate up her entire deposit, meaning she will get ZERO DOLLARS BACK! Kelly Osbourne is so furious that she's suing for her deposit back, and under California law if the landlord wrongly retained the deposit she gets up to twice the amount. Fishy landlord!

Here we have 2 of the hottest players on the ATP tour, and we're not talking about their games. Spain's Rafael Nadal has an incredible body - those arms are sick. Plus, the Spaniard has some serious "junk in the trunk." We think he looks good best when he's giving it his all on the tennis court - and not bad off it either.
Serb Novak Djokovic has powered his way to No. 3 in the world and is pushing for the top. We know he packs some serious heat in his game and otherwise. But the best part: the Djoker has this tendency to always want to take his clothes off - something Down the Line! and some others can truly appreciate!
HOT or NOT: Rafa vs. the Djoker. Tell us!

Outdoors at the LA County Fairplex - 2011 Grand National Roadster ShowWritten by on June 1, 2011 The show outside the show
The Grand National Roadster show is unique in a variety of ways; take its name for instance. It started off in 1950 as the National Roadster Show but by 1963 the event program proclaimed it to be the Grand National Roadster Show, yet it may have been best known by a name it was never officially given: the Oakland Roadster Show.
Then there are the venues. The show opened in the Oakland Exhibition Hall, complete with pigeons in the rafters, then moved to the more modern Oakland Coliseum. From there it went across the bay to San Francisco first to the Concourse with its leaky roof then the Cow Palace and next it was down the road to the San Mateo Fairgrounds. It was getting so that where the big trophy was going to be awarded was as big a surprise as who would win it. But there was one more surprise coming; the next move was out of Northern California to a more southerly setting; under the leadership of the show's current producer, John Buck, the show came to the Fairplex in Pomona, California.
While Buck has a great deal of respect for the rich history of the show's America's Most Beautiful Roadster award he has also been clever enough to add some interesting new elements to broaden the show's appeal. There are a variety of special displays incorporated inside the various buildings, but our favorite addition is something no other show offers called the Grand Daddy Drive-In.
L.A. County's Fairplex is a spacious facility and the show is held in multiple buildings on the grounds. Thanks to the show's SoCal location, the weather is normally pleasant. So, taking the space available and the usual cooperation from Mother Nature into account, several years ago it was suggested by the SRM staff that the space between the buildings be used for specialty car parking--a rod run on the grounds, so to speak. Buck agreed and the show outside the show became a reality. This year close to 900 cars showed up over the weekend to pack the grounds and give show-goers even more to look at. Here's a look at some of the cars in the show outside the show.

What's not to love about a straight-axle '55, especially when you grew up with it? After a 30-year search Kevin Wallauer found his father's old gasser.

I'm trying to localize the date/number formats, but keep the interface language original english/US. I find keeping the original interface helps a lot when searching/asking for help.
I modified the date formats in jetty-6.1.5/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/messages/I18nMsg.properties as per posts here on the forum
This only shows the correct formats in appointment creation, but not in the rest of the interface:Code:
firstDayOfWeek = 2
formatDateFull = EEEE d MMMM yyyy
formatDateLong = dd MMMM yyyy
formatDateMedium = dd MMM yyyy
formatDateShort = dd/MM/yy
formatDateTime = {0} {1}
formatNumber = #,##0.###
formatNumberCurrency = \u00a4#,##0.00;(\u00a4#,##0.00)
formatNumberInteger = #,##0
formatNumberPercent = #,##0%
formatTimeFull = HH:mm:ss
formatTimeLong = HH:mm:ss
formatTimeMedium = HH:mm:ss
formatTimeShort = HH:mm
fe. in calendar the day header stills show "Sun, Jul 27". the received mail time stamps are still the original format.
Which other files do I have to modify?
best regards

These aren't Grammy's owl-frame glasses, nor are they gaudy hater-blockers worn by celebrities. No, the Kaenon Polarized Madison Sunglasses are a delightful piece of eyewear that are feminine and fashionable for the lady who likes a fully-wrapped frame. The front is accented by lightweight, thin temples that taper as they reach back. But it's not all about good looks. The polarized SR-91 lenses provide broad spectrum UV protection, impact-protection and unmatched clarity, and the strong, lightweight, and flexible TR-90 Grilamid frame retains shape memory for durable comfort. If you work up a sweat or get splashed by water, these sunglasses won't slip, because the Variflex imbedded rubber nosepads are non-slip. the Madison is where uptown fashion meets mountain chic.

There isn't a lot of activity since it's a test box, but one account has about 5k messages in it, and another probably has about 1k.

WINTERSVILLE - Indian Creek wasn't caught looking ahead to next week's playoff game, scoring 34 second-quarter points en route to a victory against the Wildcats.
Holding the 7-0 lead thanks to a 7-yard scoring pass from Alex Young to Alex LaRue, the Redskins put the game to rest in the game's second quarter.
After Monty Young hit Chris Graziani for a loss of 7 on an Edison fake punt attempt, Indian Creek found itself set up at the Wildcats' 35. Seven plays later, on second-and-18, Young hit Frankie Kamarec for a 19-yard touchdown strike. Young, who wore No. 12 in honor of teammate Justin Cummings, put home the extra point for the 14-0 lead.
After an Edison three-and-out, the Redskins pushed the lead to 21-0 on the strength of a Logan Woods 7-yard run and Young kick. On the drive Young broke free for 22 yards and hit Woods for a 16-yard completion.
Edison made it 21-6 with a Trevor Murray 2-yard scoring grab from Nolan Marcus, but the Wildcats cheers were short-lived.
On the first play of the ensuing drive Blake Roar went up the middle for a 64-yard touchdown and Young's fourth PAT made the score 28-6 Redskins.
With 1:38 left in the first half Kamarec and Young connected for a second score, this one from 20 yards out to make the score 34-6.
McClelland stripped an Edison receiver on the first play of the ensuing possession to set up a Young to Drew Sullivan 12-yard scoring toss. Fernando Prestes' point after closed the half's scoring at 41-6 in favor of the Redskins.
McClelland picked off a screen pass earlier in the half adding to his outstanding performance, and the Redskins defense held Edison to just 78 yards offense in the first half.

NEW YORK (AP) — An American foxhound and an affenpinscher are among the favorites to become America's top dog.
The Westminster Kennel Club will pick its best in show Tuesday night. An old English sheepdog and a bichon frise also won their groups Monday.
A Doberman called Fifi that made the best-of-seven final ring last year won best of its breed on Tuesday.
A Labrador retriever co-owned by New York Yankees President Randy Levine showed well, but didn't bring home a ribbon.

Hi to all.
First of all let me apologize for the dual posting here and in administrators forum, but I don't know which is the right place to post this.
I want to know if is possible to share briefcases in a hierarchy with different permissions, I have tried from the webclient with a mix of successful and failure. But want to know if there is any option to make this work including if this setup can only be done from cli as administrator.
here is my requirement:
I have several users lets call them:
GM => General Manager
PD => Production
AD => Administration
SL => Sales
IT => System Administrator
I want to login as IT and create a shared Briefcase hierarchy like this (permissions in brackets)
Documents (ALL Read)
- Production (GM Read, PD Full control)
- Technical Information (All Read, PD full control)
- Financial (GM Read, AD Full control)
- Sales (AD and GM Read, SL Full control)
I have tried this
Test 1:
Created the Documents Briefcase with all read and sent the message
then created all the sub briefcases and specify permissions without sending the message
then the users will see the proper folders and documents, also can create documents but no upload new ones (it says no permissions)
Test 2:
Created the Documents Briefcase with all read and sent the message
then created all the sub briefcases and specify permissions sending the message
then the users have the desired functionality but as all messages for all subfolders where sent, they also have a separate link for each subfolder which confuses the user.
Is there any way to don't send the messages for the subfolders and make zimbra to know the proper permissions?

The Texas-based Legacy Fighting Championships is wrapping up some of its own talent.
Legacy promoter Mick Maynard today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) he's signed featherweight and lightweight champion Daniel Pineda (14-7) and 145-pound newcomer Freddy Assuncao (5-1) to multi-fight deals.
Terms of the deals were not disclosed, but both are scheduled to compete on upcoming HDNet-televised events.
"We started signing multi-fight deals last year for a few people, but now that we are being broadcast on HDNet, it has driven us to move even further into that direction," Maynard said. "We want to establish our own stable of exciting fighters that fans can get to know and look forward to watching on a regular basis.
"Outside of the UFC, we feel that we can provide an opportunity for the fighters that compare with any of the top organizations in the country. Daniel Pineda is now one of the top-ranked featherweights in the world, and Freddy Assuncao is a rising prospect with a strong pedigree and an exciting style."
Pineda fights fellow Texan Gilbert Jimenez (5-3-1) on Dec. 16 at the HDNet-televised Legacy Fighting 9. The Houston-based fighter, who's previously fought for Bellator and EliteXC, has been a fixture with Legacy. He currently owns a four-fight win streak with four stoppage victories.
All of the wins came came under the Legacy banner, and his first three victories came over champions. He won the featherweight title from Rey Trujillo in his debut, he then submitted welterweight champ Levi Forrest in a non-title lightweight bout, and then he knocked out Ray Blodgett to add the lightweight belt to his collection. Most recently, he defended his featherweight belt with a submission win over Frank Gomez.
Assuncao, the brother of UFC vets Raphael and Junior, recently picked up his fourth straight victory with a first-round TKO of Baz Cunningham at Aggression MMA 8. Prior to that, he submitted UFC and WEC vet Kit Cope at a regional show in Washington.
Maynard said Assuncao will make his promotional debut in early 2012.

In response to Fierce34's comment:
The next step, if KG gets traded, is to trade Pierce for Kevin Martin and OKC's lottery pick they got from Toronto in the Harden deal.
I remember when you floated this idea a few weeks ago! These two trades would shave years off of the rebuilding process!

Hi Guys
I am sorry if this sounds stupid, but my users are total novices and I am trying to get them to share MAILBOXES and CALENDERS with one-another.
The problem is:
I can not find the ACCEPT/DECLINE button on the mail. When testing this function prior to rollout (2010), I did see the invitational messages with ACCEPT/DECLINE button. Where do I find it/put the function ON in Outlook 2007?
Kind regards

Born: 10/23/1976
Birth Place: Vancouver, British Columbia, CA
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Oct. 23, 1976, Ryan Rodney Reynolds was the youngest of four brothers to his father, James, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted policeman who later became a food wholesaler , and mother, Tammy, a retail store saleswoman. After working a string of odd jobs in Vancouver as a busboy/waiter at a yacht club serving rich kids, and later, doing stints at a nightclub and grocery store, Reynolds thought he would try his hand at acting - ironic, since he ended up failing drama class at the age of 12. Creative ambition had set in at a young age when, as a kid, Reynolds had formed an improv comedy group in Vancouver called Yellow Snow. At age 15, between 1991-... Continue Bio >>

Actor Neil Patrick Harris donned a woman's wig, a glittery bra and high-heeled shoes to accept his 2014 Man of the Year award from Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals drama club.
The "How I Met Your Mother" star embraced the spirit of the event when he took to the stage wearing a dark hairpiece, a silver bra over his tuxedo and a pair of red heels to accept the honor.
He was accompanied to the platform by two men, and the gay actor delighted the audience by giving both his companions a smooch on the lips.
After the ceremony, Harris insisted he thoroughly enjoyed the event: "It's an honor to be chosen as Hasty Pudding's Man of the Year. I am sort of shocked by all of this. And have a lot to live up to… The year that I was born, Jack Lemmon won it and he's like one of my heroes. So this has just been a super fun day. I didn't know what to expect, everyone has been super saucy and super lovely and it's a day I'll remember forever."
Harris' honor comes after British actress Dame Helen Mirren accepted the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year trophy last month and delighted the crowd by performing a twerking dance routine.

ATLANTA -- Five years ago today a tornado ripped through downtown damaging buildings.
The EF-2 tornado caused millions of dollars of damage to buildings.
The tornado touched down just west of the downtown Atlanta and moved eastward toward the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome with the SEC basketball conference taking place.
The tornado then traveled across the CNN Omni Hotel and Phillips Arena where the Hawks were playing the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Tornado finally lifted as it moved into extreme western Dekalb County and resulted in one death and about 30 injuries.
Above are some pictures from that day.
Here are some stories from that day:

Curiosity 1
The three-metre, 890kg 1 rover is powered by a radioisotope generator.
The decay of 4.8kg of plutonium dioxide will provide a steady source of heat, used to produce onboard electricity. This means the rover can continue its mission at night, unlike earlier solar-powered craft, whose panels could be obscured by Martian dust.

Woooo. I've seen both of those before and they are great. The last one (along with another site that I think I posted a link to in another thread) led me to write up a little javascript to calculate stellar positions based on either RA, DEC and Paralax or Cartesian Co-ordinates. There's still a couple of bugs in it that I haven't quite worked out yet, but eventually it will even go so far as to plot those positions on a polar graph or a equirectangular graph (the concept here being what would be seen from a particular perspective) and create data tables for those positions. It's crazy math intensive, but has been a great help in some of the sci-fi projects I've been working on.
Thumbs up for the links!

Reactions to Bay Area administrator's pay
Outrageous, but not typical
- In response to: Bureaucrat's pay rekindles pension debate
The Retired Public Employees Association of California, which represents state, local and contract agencies, and school classified employees covered by CalPERS, realizes the need for all of us to come together to find a solid solution to the budget issues facing our state.
In a recent article, the U-T identified a compensation and pension package of more than $413,000 for one person in Northern California and pointed the finger for the state's budget problems at all public employees. As public retirees trying to live on modest incomes that are anything but lavish, we agree that this is an outrageous number and find it unacceptable.
Only two percent of CalPERS retirees receive pensions of more than $100,000. Seventy-four percent of CalPERS retirees receive less than $36,000 per year. The average monthly retirement allowance for all CalPERS retirees is $2,000, and many receive much less. Many public retirees do not receive Social Security benefits because their public employers do not participate in the program. Most public employee retirees do not receive employer-paid health care, and many do not receive Medicare benefits.
A majority of retirees under CalPERS paid a percentage of their pay, matched by their employers, into the system and calculated retirement carefully based upon their base salaries and years of service, expecting to receive this deferred income when they retired. The money received from this deferred income goes back into our communities and state in the form of taxes and the purchase of homes, automobiles, and other commodities.
Public employees are not the cause of the problems in California or in the U.S. itself. Wall Street and poor planning on the part of our legislators and some cities has caused the majority of this problem. We are as concerned as everyone else about the state of our economy and doing our part to help.

Anti-government bias
- In response to: County pay drubs households
I will sleep so much better tonight knowing that, on average, county administrators up and down our fair state are getting just over three times the median income of our citizens. Frankly, it is an incredible bargain that dedicated public servants administer complex systems, with large groups of employees, to maintain roads, public safety, health care, water and sewage treatment, and so many other basic services, for such small compensation.
However, judging from the general tenor of the article on the Notebook page of Sunday's U-T (purported to be from "the U-T San Diego reporting staff," as opposed to the editorial staff) author Lee Ann O'Neal, would not want that to be the "take away" message.
With a bold print byline header of "Watchdog," we are immediately on notice that something alarming is about to be revealed. After one opening strictly factual sentence, Ms O'Neal uses the term "disparity" (defined as a "great difference") twice in a two sentence paragraph, instead of a more neutral reporting term like "ratio," to describe pay comparisons. In the seven bulleted paragraphs that complete the article she "cherry picks" higher than average, and increasingly larger pay differentials, all the way up to the Los Angeles County CEO at "7.3 times the median household income." Using statistical sleight of hand in her cherry picked examples, she abandons the "state's median household income" as a comparison, thus making county CEO pay appear to have even higher differentials.
Just seven inches of so called "reporting" column space reveals the all-too-typical U-T anti-government bias. Editorial bias, subtle and not so subtle, pops up in supposedly innocuous news reporting far too often. Please spare us the disingenuous "Watchdog" reports.

Hayden Panettiere From 'Nashville' – Then and Now
This week, fans met Juliette Barnes, the young, sexy-and-she-knows-it country prodigy played by Hayden Panettiere on the ABC show 'Nashville.'
Of course, Panettiere is best know for her role on 'Heroes,' but as she continues to stir up trouble on the Music City drama, that character will likely become her second-most famous. As you can see from in this 'Then' photo, Barnes/Panettiere wasn't always the little hotshot introduced in the 'Nashville' premiere, but she did learn sassy at a young age.
The 2001 picture is from the premiere of the "N Sync: Bigger Than Live' movie (we can only guess she was a huge fan). Panettiere is all of 12 years old in the left picture, but she'd already learned how to pose for the paparazzi on the red carpet after appearing in a couple of movies and soap operas. It's generally not cool to diss a pre-teen's wardrobe, but those pants are louder than the trouble she's starting on 'Nashville' in 2012. She sings her own songs, however, and should be fun to watch this television season.

Part of my job is booking dinners for VF executives and clients, so I know my NYC venues. When you have a crew that wants to let their hair down (read: booze) enter the private dining room. Some call it retro; I call it necessary. Below is a list of my favorite places to dine in private in NYC:
The Gattinara at Del Posto: It really doesn't get chicer than surrounding your guests with wine valued at more than they make in a year. Combined. Service and food are incomparable.
Wine Cellar in the 21 Club: Once ransacked by federal agents during Prohibition, the Wine Cellar at 21 proved to be a safe house for booze. The elaborately disguised vault was built to be invisible, and only opened only by inserting a slender 18″ meat skewer through one of many cracks, where 21 famously housed two thousand cases of wine.
Hudson Clearwater: Excellent service and a classic rustic American menu. Hudson Clearwater is truly a west village gem, with an unassuming private room directly below the main dining.
The Library at Crown: Upper East Side, yes, but I assure you it's worth the trek. The downstairs private dining room is equal parts snobbery and secrecy. Go for the Tequila Old Fashioned (under the "strong & boozy" section of the cocktail menu) and you won't be disappointed.
3rd floor at the Spotted Pig: My personal favorite. There is nothing better than hunkering down on the 3rd floor with 10 of your best friends drinking the best martini in Manhattan.

Yeah... well, saying "cancel" at the prompt is bluffing... regardless of whether or not you talk to a person or the computer, IMO.
Yeah you could look at it that way I suppose. But in reality, they set up their phone system and used 'cancel' as a synonym for 'retention'!
I've not used it that way, when I want to cancel I'm not ever bluffing. I'm calling to cancel.
But the reality of it is that you shouldn't even have to do that. The CSR's should be able to more than they can now. But that is D*'s decision to do it the way they do. I sure didn't have any input into how they want to handle things when the customer is irritated. Did you?

Weekly donation is $5 per person. ALL PROCEEDS NOT SPENT ON PRIZES WILL BE DONATED TO THE FOOD BANK OF THE ROCKIES!!!
Here is a link to the MHDGC event page with ONLINE REGISTRATION and more info.
In the past 8 years, this event has raised almost $39,000! Let's keep it going strong!
Format will be random draw doubles, best shot with a small twist... double birdies!
Double birdies - Both players drive and select the best shot. If both players make birdie from that spot they score a -2 for that hole. If one player hits an ace their partner can still get a birdie to go -3 on the hole. Two aces count as -4. Get some!!
Just to keep everyone guessing, the tournament hosts will modify several holes prior to start time! Watch out for alternate shot, worst shot, putter only holes, disc swaps and more! This is going to be fun!!!
Weekly winners will each receive a Winter Warrior bag tag with the series logo, date and location. Series winners (top 10 men and top 5 women) will receive additional prizes.
Series winners will be determined by totaling the players' top 6 weekly scores.
We will be offering both a Men's and a Women's division with prizes for the top group in each and maybe a prize for the #1 finisher in each division if we can swing it.
Weekly participation is not required.
There will be a weekly ace pool. Ace pool winners will receive 50% of the pool. The remaining 50% will be donated to the Food Bank of the Rockies fund. Dollars will carry over from week to week. CTP throws for donated prizes are $1 per throw immediately following each round.
Please let us know if you have something to donate... discs, game tickets, ski passes, etc. It is for a great cause!
We're again excited to offer a WW Season Pass! The Season Pass costs $50 and will gain you entry into each week of Winter Warriors, a CTP throw each week, and a Winter Warriors long sleeve shirt! If you purchase a WW9 Season Pass, you do not have to participate in each week, but should you choose to participate in any week, you're all paid up!

v 5.0.2533
Using hosted mail at 01.com.
This was working fine and then just noticed last week that it was no longer auto synching (had out of date contacts in zimbra, up to date contacts in my local address book)
Tried manual sync repeatedly. Many duplicate contacts created. Tried manually deleting every contact in zimbra (why is there no "select all button in the GUI!!!!) which takes about half an hour to do. Re-sync does same thing every time. Blows up right when it hits #64. No error message. Just quits synching.


text: Home Culture Alfre Woodard on Activism and Actors Gearing up to host a leadership summit this fall, she talks about Hollywood's passion for politics. By: Mary C. Curtis Posted: June 4 2012 12:14 AM 0 Steve Mack/FilmMagic/Getty Images (The Root) -- When actress Alfre Woodard recently traveled to Charlotte, N.C., to announce a cybersummit at Johnson C. Smith University that will coincide with the Democratic National Convention in September, it was just another step in a lifetime of political activism. "I started walking the precincts with my parents when I was 10 years old," she said. Woodard is a native of Tulsa, Okla., a city rich in its history of African-American achievement and infamous for a 1921 racially motivated riot when whites burned the city's wealthy "Negro Wall Street" to the ground. Woodard chose acting as a lifetime passion and profession when she was 16 years old. But her "real job, the reason we're here together," she said, is "to learn how to love each other -- in our households, in our communities" and to make sure all of the Earth's resources stay in balance to benefit all of us. "We do that by working for justice." As a female of color, coming of age in Tulsa, Woodard, now 59, said, "It was impossible not to be involved in politics." Actor Hill Harper will join the Emmy winner and Academy Award nominee to lead "UFuture: A Summit for Innovative Thinkers" on Sept. 4, the first official day of the convention in Charlotte, with White House officials, educators, business leaders and representatives from more than 20 regional colleges and universities taking part. The nonprofit, nonpartisan Congressional Black Caucus Institute and Johnson C. Smith, an HBCU, are sponsoring the interactive event. "Our audience will be texting, tweeting and live-streaming in a dialogue about the 21st-century challenges facing them, individually and collectively," she said. In a conversation at the Johnson C. Smith student union, Woodard told The Root what her parents taught her about being an engaged citizen. She also countered criticism of President Obama and the politically active performers who often support him. The Root: Do you think continuing involvement in the political process is a lesson that young people -- all voters -- can learn? Alfre Woodard: Being an engaged citizen isn't like choosing a team for the Super Bowl. It's ongoing ... Freedom ain't free. It has to be fought for and protected every day. TR: Actors who voice political views and opinions are often criticized for speaking out. What do you think of comments that actors should stick to acting? AW: Would they say that welders should not be involved, that teachers should not be involved, that mechanics should not be involved? That's absurd. Acting is a job. We have an entire industry; we have a city like Detroit that suffered when the car industry left to go overseas. The industry in California, believe it or not, has suffered; a lot of that filming has gone out. People in these unions, they have families, they lose their houses. So we have everything at stake that every other American has at stake ... TR: Do actors experience the world and its problems differently? AW: The one thing I will say about actors who are informed: It is impossible for them not to work for social justice. It is impossible for them because our job is people. We study people; we study cultures. We bring those people to life when we're telling stories. And we live around the world ... so we are actually in the trenches with people in a way that most Americans never have the opportunity, to see how people live and the problems that they are struggling under. So we can't keep our mouths closed about the plight of infant mortality in the Delta, our mouths closed about environmental racism and economic disparity ... We would have to be mindless and callous not to be involved. TR: How have your parents influenced you? AW: My mama and daddy did not nurture and raise an artiste, a person who sits by a swimming pool. My parents raised a participating citizen, a citizen who feels responsible not only for [her] own family but all the families around [her]. TR: This summit is a nonpartisan event, but you're a strong supporter of President Obama. AW: Those same two people said if somebody's telling the truth, never let them stand alone. I am standing with the president. I am still fired up about moving forward because this president has made more progress in such a short time than any president in our history, and he's done it with one hand tied behind his back, an openly disloyal opposition and starting out with unprecedented lows in the economy, in education, in manufacturing. You name it and he's done it. He has steadily brought us up step-by-step out of that desperate situation ... Every election, we say this is the most important election of our time, but it is a pivotal moment in the history of the world if America doesn't stay on that climbing course that President Obama has us on, because when we falter, everything around us falters as well. That's what's at stake. Mary C.

Bride Wars (2009)
Bride Wars Synopsis
Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel.
Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after.
Or maybe not...
When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates - they're now to be married on the same date! - Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled.
Now, the two best friends who'd do anything for each other, find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war.

Is that really a stapelia?
I had one when I lived in AZ and the flower did resemble a starfish. This looks like some sort of arisaema.

Carrion flower
Thanks to Plantidote pal insanely sane, today we have something you won't see every day -- if you're lucky ;-) -- a carrion flower. Not only is the carrion flower strange looking, but it also smells. Bad. Let's not mince words, it smells disgusting. I saw one once in a botanical garden, and my first thought was "Where's the rotten meat?"
But there's a reason carrion flower is so foul smelling. That's how it attracts flies for pollination purposes. Smart! What better way to draw flies than with the smell of putrid meat.
If you are interested in growing a carrion flower, they aren't very demanding, requiring some sun and moderate water during summer. In winter, these plants need some time off, according to my sources, with less water and cooler temperatures. Insanely probably knows more about this part, so there may be more growing tips in the comments.
Thanks, insanely!! It's fun to make silly jokes about stinky flowers, but that is one heckuva remarkable plant!!
I had one when I lived in AZ and the flower did resemble a starfish. This looks like some sort of arisaema.
Putrid meat? Probably no point in asking how it does indoors.
This stinky flower is probably in the family Amorphophallus, of which there are hundreds of species. Just the name alone spells weird! I was given a small rooted plant 15 years ago. It didn't bloom for about 4 or 5 years. Then it bloomed and soon after began to spread by underground stems ( stolon) so now I have about a dozen of these horrid stinky plants in one corner of the garden. Some of these Carrion flowers can reach 8 feet tall. Thank the heavens mine is not one that does. Mine grows to about 18 inches tall. Flowers last about a week and smell worse by the day.
Even the dog avoids that part of the yard when in bloom!!
This plant would not be a good choice for indoors! The odor is really awful and persistent.
You would have to move out when it came into bloom.
My plant grows in full sun with regular weekly water. Here in N Calif. the winters are cold and wet and the Carrion flower is dormant then. It will emerge from the ground in late spring and bloom in summer. Then it goes dormant, but I suspect it is spreading underground while it is out of sight.
That's a good strategy, since if I could tell where it was spreading to, I would dig it up or rip it out! Very crafty plant!
That takes me back. A friend of mine in Hawaii was growing one of these things on his deck until his landlady asked what died. (Yeah, We botanists are weird.) So then he sort-of-hid it down by the garbage cans until he felt bad when he saw her scrubbing out all the cans. (Then he took it in to the greenhouses at school.)
That's an Amorphophallus or possibly a related genus in the Araceae. (Possibly Arisaema, although it doesn't look right to me for that.) Stapelia is also stinky and fly-pollinated, but it's in the milkweed family and looks different.
I didn't realize they were related. I had an arisaema by my front door, but it died, I'm assuming the bulb (corm?) rotted because this flowerbed gets waterlogged in the winter. That doesn't seem to bother the other plants there (arum italicum, aspidistra,mondo grass and asst. ferns)
high heaven." :-)
It is a beautiful plant/flower!
Don't give up on that Arisaema root/bulb. I have had same plant disappear for a couple years and then turn up fat and happy one spring. I think they can hover below ground gaining steam before they shoot up. My Carrion flower did that. I forgot I had planted it cause it disappeared for over a year.
I did not realize there were different kinds of smelly flowers and went with the first genus that popped up. Sorry about that, but you're probably used to it by now.
To make up for it, here's a link to the Cal State University at Fullerton Arboretum, where a related plant ("Tiffany, the Titan Arum") was on display. Scroll down to the photos from 2000 -- spectacular!!

Asphalt Ego-Rama 2003 FinalistsWritten by on October 20, 2003 Reader's Rods Smack It Out in R&C's Six-Way Performance Face-Off
In case you're new to the whole Asphalt Ego-Rama thing, here's what's been happening. R&C readers chose these six cars from twenty semi-finalists presented in the October '03 issue. These lucky six will met in L.A. in November for five days of competition, cruising, and camaraderie. The R&C staff will ride along to judge each car in nine categories: Acceleration, Braking, Cornering, Driveability, Engineering, People's Choice, Budget, Mileage, and Participant Attitude. At the end, we will pick one--and only one--as the '03 champion. Which car will it be? The A coupe? The wagon? The big Olds? We can't tell you. At press time, our "duke-out in the desert" is still several weeks away. You'll have to wait 'til the April issue for our mile-by-mile play-by-play. Which one do you think will win?
Norm Cowdrey's '56 Chevy Nomad
Camarillo, CA
Don't let the family funster facade fool you. Norm says the wagon--which he built up from a heap--is "basically a '96 Corvette with a Nomad body on it." The Nomad rides on a Paul Newman frame with C5 aluminum and carbon-fiber suspension stuff. The engine is a rare fuel-injected Scoggin-Dickey ZZ430 tied to a six-speed ZF transmission.
Norm has been racing since the '60s, when he competed a blown Chevy-powered Austin Healey, which he claims was the world's fastest sports car. The Nomad, he says, "...is not going to be a strong quarter-mile car, but it will be respectable. It's a real cruiser and can run 70 mph at 2,000 rpm on the freeway. It corners like a BMW, and it stops really well."
Don Dillard's '30 Ford Five-Window Coupe
Irwindale, CA
Dillard's A was basically a pile of parts when he bought it in 1997 but has been on the road ever since. Don's been into rods since his teenage years and used to bracket race musclecar-era Mopars. Lately, he's been thrashing on the coupe, testing it at nearby Irwindale Dragstrip. "The first time I took it out I had traction problems, so I swapped in a Posi third member and got some stickier tires. Now I'm going to tune the engine, carb, and ignition and swap the heads.
"All in all, I've got a good balance in enough categories that it'll make a good showing. It's a beater hot rod. It's not a polished, plated, painted show car, but it goes down the road as well as any car out there. It's a little noisy, but it's a hot rod."
Fred Douglas' '48 Oldsmobile 98 Convertible
Shawnee, KS
Fred has owned the Olds since 1994 but says it was the introduction of the Chevy 502 Ram Jet engine that inspired him to get serious building it. Since it was finished in February, it has covered several thousand miles, been entered in the World of Wheels, and won Pro's Pick at the NSRA Nats. Fred has been hot rodding for 45 years, including experience running a flathead Ford roadster in a D-Altered class in the late '50s and early '60s. The Olds has never been on the dragstrip, "but will be before the competition.
"It handles as good as it looks and runs with the best of them. It ought to be interesting to put the car through it at this event, just to see what it will do. "
Larry Metz' '32 Ford Cabriolet
Arcadia, CA
Larry's spent his whole life making flatheads go fast. His first hot rod was a flathead-powered '53 Willys Gasser that went all the way to the final round of the '63 Winternats. "I built cars like a typical kid back in those days--never quite right. I didn't have the money and the knowledge to know what I needed to do right." Things are different now, as we'll see when the Deuce--homebuilt and running a blown flattie--shows up for the Ego-Rama.
"It runs mid-14s in the quarter-mile," Larry claims. "I've had it at California Speedway up to about 120 mph with no problems. It'll drive and go at any speed you want to drive it. It's a cool-running flathead that goes anywhere."
Tim Nesmith's '41 Chevy Coupe
Hartselle, AL
Tim grew up in a family of gearheads with a driveway full of musclecars and hot rods. His coupe was a rust bucket when he started building it 10 years ago. "It was built to be a street/strip type of rod," he told us. "I built everything for street, but if I wanted to put a pair of small slicks on the back, I could." The '41 Chevy rides on a 2x3-inch frame, a Mustang II frontend, ladder bars, coilovers, and a 9-inch rearend with Moser axles and an Auburn differential. It's got a NASCAR front swaybar and rear swaybar with Panhard bar. "I built it to be something I could do anything with. You can really sling the car into corners. It top-ends pretty good, handles good, and accelerates really well. Plus it's got all the creature comforts."
Rex Marshall's '55 Chevy 210
West Bountiful, UT
Rex has been building cars since he was a kid. "I got my first car done before I got my driver's license," he says. "My brother had to drive me around in it." His cool old '55 has a lengthy resume. It was first built in '60s as a street freak, followed by a stint as a drag racer. The following owner intended to turn it into a street machine but ended up putting the Chevy in storage in 1980. It didn't come out until Rex heard about it and persuaded the owner to sell it. Now it's primarily a street car but does see a little quarter-mile action from time to time. "The car drives good and it has a lot of crowd appeal. Anybody with any time under his belt can really relate to it. Everybody with no hair and gray hair loves it! It'll be a lot of fun to participate."
