I really needed this today! I'm determined, April will be amazing!ReplyDelete
I feel the same way. Thanks for posting this :)ReplyDelete
alright, that picture is gorgeous, first. second, what i have noticed is that even the darkest of periods are temporary. it certainly doesn't help when you're IN them though, does it? but, blah blah blah, this too shall pass, blah blah blah.ReplyDelete
what i should say is this: you're a beautiful person. and you deserve every blessing in the world. so, whatever it is that's sucking, i hope it gets better real fast.
i needed this. march was hard for me too...sometimes life just happens.ReplyDelete
here's to looking fear in the face and laughing, because there are much better things ahead for both of us :)
love you pretty lady
Love it! I felt like you were typing as me last October. It was the worst month of my life, by far! But it is a distant memory now and the good things have continued to grow and multiply and I know they will for you too.ReplyDelete
Chin up, Charlie... April is the turnaround!
sorry to here about your crappy march..but, as you say, SEE YA LATER and GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE bad monthReplyDelete
dang girl, my april is filled with wedding planning stuff too- flower mart in LA to help my friend arrange/do her flowers, a bridal shower, a baby shower, AND a bachelorette!
oh April, i'm so excited to see you! we will be swooning and in love all month, i can just feel it
(or we will hate life all together.. but i highly doubt that will happen... because that's what march was for..stupid march..)
LOVE those banyans, fyi.. wish we had those trees out on our coast...
Lovely Lady - April is going to rock for you - I just know it. You have so much generosity, kindness, love and spirit you will ALWAYS come out top - never fear. Until then know that we're all rooting for you. xxReplyDelete
p.s. I resigned from my job on Wednesday after putting up with mediocrity and allowing myself to be less than my best for too long. Will be very happy to put that memory behind me and fingers crossed move on to something new!

Just what I neede a bit of a pep talk--come on april you are going to be great.ReplyDelete

seems like there's a lot behind this post- just said a little prayer for you, sista-frand.ReplyDelete
and yes, here's to april!
Get out of here, that picture is amazing! Love.ReplyDelete
My mom used to always tell me "If you think negatively... you will receive negativity - but if you stay positive & think this way, it will only benefit you" -- looks like you're on the right path. Cheers to April!ReplyDelete

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - I understand the rancor of the fans, but
if you stop to think about it, doing nothing at the moment makes the most
We refer today to the situation the Philadelphia Eagles and head coach Andy
Reid are going through as the team continues to struggle.
This same scenario has played out, or will be playing out soon, across the NFL
landscape in a town near you. Firing talk and late November go hand in hand in
the NFL.
The Eagles are getting most attention now because plenty was thought of them,
and their chances, in August.
Unfortunately for the Birds, it's no longer August.
The team many thought, including the wise guys in Las Vegas, would win double-
digit games has just three victories, and they all came in September.
And with only six games left to play, getting to 10 wins obviously won't
Mired in a six-game losing streak and beset by injuries (usually the lament in
these cases), the Philly faithful are calling for the head of Reid and want to
see the hangman's shadow following him around tighten up (the fact that the
team has quit on the season and their coaches truly doesn't help, either. Of
course, the players will deny this and, as the old saying goes, "You can't fire
the players" anyway).
The anger also is now being directed at the team's owner, Jeff Lurie, who is
being ridiculed for not doing anything.
But, what exactly should Lurie do?
It says here doing nothing for now is the right call.
Of course, the folks who buy the tickets and pay to park and get soaked by the
price of a bottle of suds at the stadium don't want that and you can understand
their anger.
They want a body.
But is there a better alternative?
Before we explore that, for argument's sake, let's look at a couple of options.
Let's say Lurie decides to fire Reid today.
Out he'd go along with his entire coaching staff, leaving the team rudderless
and with a built-in excuse to pack it in the rest of the way.
Or, somebody from Reid's staff could be retained to take over the team for the
final half-dozen games to try to retain some semblance of order.
Good luck with that.
What assistant coach in his right mind would want that mess, plus an 0-6 mark
on his coaching ledger?
And even if one of Reid's boys took over and went 6-0, the chances are good
he'd still be gone the day after the regular season ends.
Maybe bring in an interim coach from the outside, you say?
Again, that's a bad idea because any outside coach worth a darn is going to
think the same thing: this is not my mess and giving me six weeks to turn it
into something half decent is impossible.
If I'm the interim guy, I want two things.
The first would be no interim tag. Either I'm the head coach or I'm looking
somewhere else, thank you.
The second would be a long, guaranteed contract.
Neither of those things would happen because Lurie, or any other owner,
wouldn't make a move that quickly. They would need time and need to do a
thorough search to try and find the right guy.
It all brings us back to the original point, there's really nothing that could
be done today to solve the problems. It's why the day after the regular season
is pink slip Monday for so many NFL coaches.
Vince Lombardi or George Halas couldn't help the Eagles right now nor would
they want to try.
So the fans can whine, and the media can speculate, but leaving Reid where he
is is the only recourse.
Let the stench of this season cling to him and then move on come the New Year.

area newspapers for over 25 years.

Allen, TX (Sports Network) - Tulane's Ryan Griffin tossed two touchdown passes
and the Nation All-Stars tallied a 24-13 win over the Texas All-Stars in the
Texas vs. the Nation Game.
Griffin threw for 210 yards on 14-of-18 efficiency, while Bemidji State wide
receiver Brian Leonhardt registered 64 yards receiving and a score on four
catches for the Nation.
Texas Tech's Seth Doege was 9-of-18 for 87 yards and an interception for
The Nation jumped out to a 17-0 lead as Leonhardt hauled in a 15-yard score
from Griffin, Idaho's Trey Farquhar nailed a 31-yard field goal and Florida's
Earl Okine returned a fumble two yards for a touchdown with 10:22 left in the
Texas put the next 13 points on the board to pull within four with 5:13 to go
in the third. Abilene Christian's Morgan Lineberry hit a pair of field goals,
35 and 20 yards, respectively, to pull Texas within 17-6 heading into the
break. TCU's Matthew Tucker plunged in for a 1-yard score to make it 17-13.
Griffin found Syracuse's Marcus Sales for a 20-yard touchdown with 9:54
remaining to conclude the scoring.
The Texas vs. the Nation Game, which began in 2006, was re-branded as the
NFLPA Collegiate Bowl last year, but the contest moved back to its original
format this season.
Over the first four years, the game was played at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso,
Texas before shifting to San Antonio a year ago. The 2013 game moved to Allen,
Texas, a suburb of Dallas.

"Coco, take one" – A look inside CrownVision features
We've had the following experience, and we're guessing you have, too. You're watching a game at the K, and the third out is made. Maybe you need to leave your seat for the concession stand, or you plan to make a phone call…but you put it on hold because you know that something cool is going to be on the video board between innings.
The Royals event presentation team has produced awesome video features for years. Now, with the high-definition CrownVision, they have taken the in-game experience to a new level! The features take countless hours to produce and edit. Today we're going to take a behind-the-scenes look at some of this work. The event presentation team, together with staff from DXD, a Kansas City-based animation and motion graphic company, visited Spring Training last week. They were in Surprise, Ariz., to gather video footage for the 2009 features. They do this during the early days of Spring Training, before the games start, so as to maximize the time they have. We thank all of the players and staff who went beyond (and sometimes way beyond) their busy baseball schedule to help make features for the upcoming season that you, the fan, will enjoy all season long. Let's take a look:
We start in the manager's office, where in-game host Tim Scott is interviewing Trey Hillman. Tim and Trey are all laughs while being filmed by Ben Mertens, Manager of Event Presentation & Production.
Mertens, and Chris DeRuyscher, Director of Event Presentation and Production, review the footage of Trey before moving on to their next stop.
Communication is key in this business! Senior Director of Event Presentation & Production Don Costante reviews scripts with in-game host Tim Scott. Meanwhile, Chris works closely with the DXD staff members to ensure that both groups are on the same page (literally).
At left, we see Ben helping Coco Crisp with his props for one of the features. Notice the background — our production team uses a green screen backdrop, much like your favorite weather forecaster. They can then color key or mix a second image in the background to create a cool multi-dimensional look.
Coco is ready to go…here he talks with Costante about the upcoming scene.
Each time a Royals player comes up to bat, they have a short video introduction on CrownVision. Here's Coco with a bat, working on his new intro.
What's this? Santa Crisp? Our team has outfitted Coco with a Royals Santa hat, which was given out last July on a memorable night that included Mark Grudzielanek's 2,000th hit and a walk-off home run by David DeJesus. We're very curious to see how this Santa scene fits into the 2009 event presentation lineup! You can find out, too…check out our 2009 ticketing options today!

DXD does some great stuff, especially last year. Can't wait to see what they come up with this year.

Dear Muzz,
You + me? We're good again. No, really. It's what I imagine the future Will & Grace reunion will feel like with you as the ginger-haired, flighty straight-as-an-arrow bestie to my neurotic, hard-ass-on-the-outside-with-mushy-insides raven-haired gaybie (though delete white boy and insert brown. That's just a fact. Deal.)
You know I always thought you had the goods to be the best yet somehow it just never came together. Maybe it was mental or maybe those others were finally onto you. But I was so thoroughly impressed and excited by the game you flaunted in Toronto which seems to have been given a shot of aggression and belief at the most opportune time.
I also wondered how you would deal without having a coach and all the talk and media attention surrounding your recent divorce from Coach Miles Maclagan (may his hawtness always be wet) and Alex Corretja (Spaniards are forever sexy - but how?) Then I saw Momma Judy a.k.a Coach for Now in your baller box being her usual stoic, tough-as-nails self, pumping you up and urging you on to one victory after another. She's the one constant in all of this change who probably knows your game better than anyone. I felt relieved.
And what about those victories over the likes of a resurgent David Nalbandian, whose 11-match winning streak you snapped by the way, top seed and the world's top baller Rafael Nadal and, in the final, Roger Federer, who won your last three battles? Fucking brilliant! Oh, and you didn't even drop a set. Crazy! It's like I don't even know you anymore, at least the Muzz of late who hadn't played any real tennis to speak of since the Australian Open in January when he got steamrolled by Fed in the final.
You seemed free this week. Free to play the game you kinda knew you could play but never believed in when it mattered. Free from too many coach's voices telling you this thing and that. Free to fail. That's right. You played like you weren't afraid to lose yet you showed such determination to win. And look - you even smiled that snaggle-toothed smile during the trophy ceremony (FYI - I hear Juan Martin del Potro has an awesome dentist.)
I'm glad we've come back together. It's giving me goose bumps just thinking about the great times ahead. Oh, and good luck on the rest of the U.S. Open Series and at Flushing Meadows, though by the looks of it you may not need luck. But it never hurts!
P.S. Ever think about giving your Coach for Now a raise? I think she may have earned at least a bonus for Toronto. And, she knows where you live. Just a thought.

Notre Dame's Rees charged with four misdemeanors, felony count reduced
NOTRE DAME — 5:20 p.m. update: Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees is facing four misdemeanor charges after his arrest early Thursday morning.
According to a release from the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's Office, Rees has been charged with minor consumption (Class C), two counts of resisting law enforcement (Class A) and battery (Class A).
Rees was initially facing a felony count of battery to law enforcement, but the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor.
The prosecutor's office said a cash bond of $250 was set for Rees. of $250. He is expected to be released sometime Thursday.
According to police accounts, Rees' attempt to flee the scene was cut off by a taxi cab that blocked his path on Notre Dame Avenue.
As police approached Rees, the quarterback "used his right knee to hit (South Bend police) Officer (Brandon) Stec in the lower chest area, knocking the wind out of him," the report stated.
The cab driver then grabbed Rees in order to keep him from running away.
Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees remains in custody after an altercation with police early Thursday morning.
According to Capt. Phil Trent of the South Bend Police Department, Rees, 19, and Notre Dame linebacker Carlo Calabrese, 21, were arrested and booked in the St. Joseph County jail just after 1 a.m. after police broke up the party they were attending.
Trent said police were dispatched at 12:30 a.m. to 716 N. Notre Dame Ave., where they observed a large group of people with open containers of alcohol.
As police approached the residence, Trent said they heard the sound of a wood fence breaking, "like someone was trying to flee."
Police went around to the back and saw five males jump the fence in attempt to run from the scene. Police ordered them to stop, but one kept running. Officers chased the man around a few houses and onto Notre Dame Avenue.
Police stopped the man and identified him as Tommy Rees. Trent said Rees "turned on the officer" and kneed him in the midsection, knocking the wind out of him. Both men fell to the ground, causing the officer to bloody his right arm, but he maintained his hold on Rees. Rees continued to resist, and Trent said officers used "a short burst of pepper spray" on Rees, which stunned the quarterback enough to subdue him.
It was then, Trent said, that Calabrese stepped out of the crowd that had gathered around the scene, walked into the street and approached one of the sergeants in attempt to intervene on behalf of Rees. "(Calabrese) said that he's a Notre Dame football player, a fellow member of the team, and that he doesn't understand why (Rees) has to go to jail," Trent said.
Calabrese then reportedly told the sergeant: "My people are going to get you."
Members of the crowd grabbed Calabrese in an attempt to keep him out of trouble, but Trent said Calabrese pushed away repeated: "My people are going to get you."
It was then Calabrese was also arrested and taken into jail with a preliminary misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
Rees was arrested on preliminary charges of resisting law enforcement, felony battery to law enforcement, minor consumption and public intoxication, according to the police.
Police said Rees had a blood-alcohol content of 0.11, and Calabrese had a 0.12.
Calabrese was released a few hours after the arrest after posting a $150 bond. Rees was held without bond and did not appear in front of a judge this afternoon. Prosecutors have 48 hours to charge someone in custody.
Rees started 12 games in the 2011 season and is the incumbent starter in this season's four-man quarterback race. Calabrese played in all 13 games last season at linebacker.
Notre Dame released a statement from head coach Brian Kelly Thursday afternoon.
"I am aware of last night's incident involving two of our football players," Kelly said in the statement. "I am of course very concerned given the nature of the allegations, but I am still gathering information. I'll withhold judgment until I can collect all the facts and speak with both Carlo and Tommy."
Kelly was a key figure in the disciplinary actions after former receiver Michael Floyd was arrested for DUI last March. Kelly slapped Floyd with an indefinite suspension but reinstated the receiver in August.
The university might not grant Kelly much freedom with Rees. After all, Floyd's arrest was a misdemeanor. Rees, if charged, could face a felony charge.
According to the Notre Dame student handbook: "If a student is charged with a felony, the University, through the Office of Student Affairs or the Office of Residence Life, reserves the right to take summary action and temporarily dismiss the student. Similarly, the University may take summary action to temporarily or permanently dismiss any student convicted of a felony."

MARIETTA, Ga. -- There are signs all around a Marietta house warning burglars to beware. But police say that didn't stop them Monday, when they busted through the door to steal electronics, jewelry, and even some of their kids' Christmas presents.
But it's what happened to their dog that has the family so upset.
Richard, their Jack Russell terrier has hardly moved in two days. He's awake and aware, but he can't stand up or walk.
"Jack Russells are a pretty hearty breed so I would suspect it was pretty excessive," said Dr. Melynda Stephenson.
Stephenson has been treating Richard at Terrell Mill Animal hospital. She believes he has a spinal injury, which keeps him from moving the right side of his body. His owner thinks the burglars stomped on his body to make him stop barking.
"He looks at me basically saying 'why'? He was doing what he was trained to do, [which] was protect the house," said his owner Angela Brown.
Richard is a rescue dog, taken from an abusive home more than five years ago. It took plenty of patience to win his trust, but he has become their seven year old son's best friend.
On Tuesday, Dorian visited Richard at the veterinarian's office and had plenty of questions on the way home.
"He said, I now understand what the President means when he said there are bad people in this world," said Brown.
The burglars got away with more than $5,000 worth of electronics. When they took the laptop and camera, they also took 11 years of memories.
"We were in the process of making a digital photo album so we had the laptop and the camera just transferring everything," said Brown.
That means the pictures of Brown's seven year old son holding his brand new baby brother are gone. Birthdays, Christmases, all gone.
Brown hopes one of the thieves will realize what they've done and at least return the memory card with their pictures.
"They know where we live. If you want, drop it in our mailbox. Keep the rings, keep everything else, we can replace that, it's just memories. You can't replace memories," said Brown.
The animal hospital is collecting money to replace the family's Christmas presents and help pay Richard's medical bills. Contact 770-952-9300 if you want to help.
"With a new baby and to have a pet, a little boys best friend hurt in this way it really touched all of our hearts," said Stephenson.

New arrivals from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Flores
New arrivals today include Costa Rica La Candelilla Tarrazu "Miel", a really sweet and chocolatey high grown micro lot from a great farm. We have a crazy, non-traditional flavor profile in the Nicaragua Limoncillo Pacamara Dry-Process, over-the-top fruited flavors, and great body with moderate acidity. It's my choice for darker roast levels. And in a different vein of fruity coffee, Indonesia Flores Organic Manggarai ... this lot is by far the best I have ever cupped from this origin!

Anyone can get it done, and it's changing the appearance of man and woman kind! It's becoming more and more popular as we try to assert our individuality from one another! BODY MODIFICATION IMPLANTS ( In body modification, an implant is a device placed under the human skin for decorative purposes. Such implants may be subdermal or transdermal. In the context of body modification, some may consider injections of silicone and other substances a type of implant as well) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There are several types of implants the ones we are talking about today are SUB-DERMAL. Sub-Dermal Implants are objects placed in a pocket completely under the skin as a form of Body Art.
The implant is a foreign object usually made from Teflon or Silicone. However in theory any biocompatible material can be used, such as steel, titanium, and alloys of the two. You could also use synthetic material such as teflon, silicone, and nylon. In some cases even coral has been used, although organic materials that can break down in the body are generally avoided.
As with the "horned" man pictured above these implants can be stretched slowly and over time. To do so you start with a normal implant and after it has healed you repeatedly reimplant slightly larger objects until desired size is reached. This can take time and must be done gradually to prevent severe scarring both internally and externally if the implant rips through the skin.
Subdermal implants are usually implanted using a pseudo-surgical technique, which basically consist of using a scalpel to make a single incision and then a dermal separator that slides under the skin like a small spatula to create a pocket for insertion of the implant. Once the object is implanted it only takes a few sutures to close it, or suture tape even. This procedure can be done by either a Body Modification Specialist or a Medical Professional, just make sure you only let someone work on you who has experience and is a professional!
While Subdermal Implants is a basic procedure there are always risk associated in these situations!
Some risk of dermal implants include:
* Infection
* Tissue Resorption
* Implant Surface Contamination
* Implant Biocompatibility
* Nerve and Muscle Pressure
* Allergies
* Migration
* Implant Rejection
* Implant Subdermal Shifting
While most of these risk are unusual and rarely happen, a few are common. Migration for instance is to be expected, however it can be minimized with proper care. By using a pressure bandage for a few days and not sleeping om the implant you can greatly reduce the risk of suffering major migration, but may still experience a slight migration. As far as healing goes it's generally worry free, as long as you take care and maintain a healthy immune system you just need to eat healthy and rest.
Personally this type of Body Modification has a very appealing side, it gives you the opportunity to change your appearance or accentuate certain parts of your body! While maybe not for everyone it is definitely becoming more mainstream!

Ok so this is basically a re-release of information we already knew about. That's fine and dandy, I guess. But it's a week away from the presale on March 4 and still no promotions schedule? I know I am not the only one wondering about this.
Please, ATH, help! When will the promotions schedule finally be released?
My apologies ATH, as I insert foot in mouth. RIght after I posted about the promotions schedule, I went to the Royals web-site, and there it was. Very good to see!

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; firstname.lastname@example.com
Federal Funding for Mental Illness Research
NAMI's Advocacy Goals and Strategies
NAMI Supports Increases for National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Research Funding for FY 2004
NIMH is the only federal agency whose main objective is to fund biomedical research into serious mental illnesses. NIMH supports and conducts an integrated program of basic and clinical research and research training in biology, neuroscience, and epidemiology. Research initiatives include programs into the major brain disorders such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For FY 2004, the President is proposing $1.382 billion for scientific and clinical research at NIMH. This is a $33 million increase over the agency's FY 2003 appropriation of $1.349 billion. The President is proposing an overall 2% increase for the entire $27 billion budget of the NIH. FY 2003 marked the end of the 5-year bipartisan effort in Congress to double the overall NIH budget (up from $13.5 billion in FY 1998, to $27 billion in FY 2003).
NAMI is very concerned that increases for medical research at NIH in 2004 and 2005 will be held far below the increases Congress enacted from 1998 to 2002 – perhaps as low as 2% (barely enough to cover inflation and below expected increases in the cost of conducting clinical research). This decline in budget increases could have a devastating impact on the ability of NIMH (and NIH as a whole) to sustain the ongoing multi-year research grants that have been initiated over the past 2-3 years. This is especially the case with new research grants that have been initiated in conjunction with NIMH's new research plan on mood disorders (including new research underway on bipolar disorder). NAMI therefore supports the efforts of Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA) to push for an 8.5% increase for NIH in FY 2004 and move toward an overall tripling of medical research by FY 2008.
NAMI's Advocacy Goals and Strategies
NAMI strongly supports the federal investment in biomedical research into brain disorders and genetics and support for initiatives focused on neural receptors, receptor subtypes, and modulators. NAMI congratulates Congress and President Bush for completing the doubling of NIH in FY 2003 and urges that this commitment to research be sustained in FY2004 and beyond. NAMI also supports greater attention at NIMH on the most serious brain disorders—including schizophrenia, major depression and bipolar disorder—in its research portfolio.

Where Should Funding at NIMH Be Directed

Video: Navy Yard open except for building 197
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Since Monday's shooting, the Navy Yard has been shut down to everyone except essential personnel. Thursday, life on the base will begin to return to normal. The Navy Yard will reopen except for building 197 where the shootings happened.
The main gate at the Navy Yard will be closed. Employees are urged to head a couple of blocks down to the entrance at 9th and 0.
Early Thursday morning, a tractor trailer driver failed to make a U-turn and created a roadblock for traffic at the 6th Street entrance to the Navy Yard. M Street was closed between 4th and 7th Street SE. See video here: http://on.wusa9.com/15F1e7X The road has reopened.
The FBI investigation into the Navy Yard shootings is still focused on the motive of shooter Aaron Alexis. Officials are beginning to piece together Alexis' mental state leading up to the shooting.
Attention is also being paid to the actions of the first responders. Wednesday, we learned that a Capitol Police tactical team was prepared to enter the Navy Yard to stop Aaron Alexis -- and was ordered back to the Capitol by a watch commander.
The team was in contact with Metropolitan Police, who were pleading for help, but was turned around by a Capitol Police inspector. Two MPD officers went in without the team, and one of the officers was shot.
The Capitol Police Board has now launched an independent investigation.
Members of the team are furious. They are convinced they could have saved lives.

I have one Zimbra ZCS installed on ESX server. I'd like to increase disk space commited to it, but since it is in production, I would not like to break anything in the process.
So, how do I do it?
Should I simply shut down Zimbra VM, increase disk size in ESX from 400 GB to 600 GB and start up Zimbra? Will it handle new size?

Tampa, Florida (WTSP) --
Update: Deputies say Bueller the French Bulldog has been found safe and returned to his owner.
A citizen found Bueller Saturday morning at about 9:30 a.m. in his front yard. He was in the process of making flyers when he heard news reports about the dog's alleged abduction.
Police say a man taking his dog for a walk was held up by two men at gunpoint. The robbers' only target: Bueller the bulldog.
Shortly after midnight on Saturday, 27-year-old Derek McComber was walking Bueller toward Pinehurst Drive when a gray 90's model Honda Civic up on the side of the road.
Hillsborough deputies say a man got out of the car and asked McComber what kind of dog Bueller was. After McComber told him Bueller was a French bulldog, the man pulled out a gun and replied, "Well, I'm taking it."
The suspect scooped up Bueller and then backed away, returning to the Civic. The car then fled from the scene at a high rate of speed.
Investigators did not release a good description of the suspects, only that there were two white males in the Civic, both wearing a black hoodie and dark pants. Only one was seen with a handgun.
Bueller is 25 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black and green collar with no tags. The dog is mostly black, with a white belly and white paws.

I'm writing a zimlet and according to the docs, doDrag takes a canvas parameter....
The problem is, if you don't specify an <actionUrl> then the canvas (dialog in my instance) never gets created. If you do specify the actionUrl and pass it an empty url, the dialog is created but the doDrag function is never triggered.
Is there something obvious I'm missing here?
Otherwise, is there a good way to create a new dialog box?
Last question is, I can't seem to see where in the docs (if it does) it talks about how to capture the "ok" and "cancel" buttons on the canvas..... anyone able to give me a pointer in the right direction?

BAYBORO � The Pamlico County Sheriff�s Department is expected to release details Monday about a Saturday incident in which a bail bondsman was allegedly attacked by a client with a machete.
Capt. James Mitchell said Sheriff Bill Sawyer planned to release details into the investigation surrounding an attack that left Reggie Beasley with head and hand wounds.
The incident happened around midnight Saturday.
The alleged attacker, 23-year-old Samuel Tyler Potter, was also hospitalized, with what deputies believe were self-inflicted wounds with a knife. Those came after the altercation with Beasley. Beasley�s father, Reginald, is also a bail bondsman.
According to the sheriff�s department, Potter had a Friday court appearance in Bayboro, although they did not release the charges.
The department said Beasley posted Potter�s bond, with a promise for payment when the two went to the home of Potter�s relatives.
There, the alleged attack and subsequent injuries to Potter occurred.

Thanks Mark!
With the 76th Map of the Week we continue in the borderlands town of Óðinn's House in the Kingdom of Slovania. This week we take a look at the Outer Town south of the main settlement, also known as Æsir Valley.
Key to the Map of the Outer Town, also known as the Æsir Valley
The Outer Town is a haven for refugees from the fallen Æsir Empire that is under the protection of the Northern Circle, but that also is feared and to a great extent shunned by the Slovanians of Óðinn's House. Only the Outer Town Mill and the Hexwood Sawmill in the southern part of the Outer Town (beyond the map) are frequented by the Slovanians. They have little choice in the matter. The Æsir refugees acquired the two mills quietly and to the surprise of the Slovánski many years ago. They are on the only local stretch of the HexwoodRiver that are suitable for waterwheels. The only other landmark is the Æsir Trail Tavern, a public house that the Slovanians never enter. The greatest landmark of all is the Slovanian seat of the Northern Circle, Óðinn's Fortress, which is above the Hexwood Valley and outside of it. Five houses and cottages make up the rest of the valley. Æsir refugees who work in the tavern and the two mills live in them. Like the tavern complex, all five are wooden structures with wood shingle roofs. No one except Steingrímur, the tavernkeep, and his wife, Ásta, do any farming. The two do crop farming, but only at a modest level. They grow and breed what they need to feed themselves, and they also grow their own barley and hops for brewing.
1. Æsir Trail Brewhouse. Ásta, the wife of the tavernkeeper, brews her bock beer here.
2. Æsir Trail Tavern. Outsiders aren't welcome here. This is the tavern of the Æsir refugees and the Northern Circle, who come down from the fortress to drink the bock beer. If outsiders do enter the tavern, they will not be thrown out immediately. They will be served, just like locals, but without any signs that they are welcome or that their presence is desired. If they become unruly or start pestering guests, they will be thrown out quickly, physically if necessary. Steingrímur and Ásta live on the upper story.
3. Woodshed. Firewood is needed for cooking and brewing.
4. Farm shed.
5. Barn. Steingrímur and Ásta have two cows, between 10 and 20 wool pigs (varying) and a dozen chickens.
6. Millpond.
You can get the map in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 map in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (30 MB).
2. A JPG flat map of 3000 Pixels x 2380 Pixels (3 MB), available above.
Both versions are released for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License Version 1.0a, which you can read on the Jörðgarð web site.

In this application, we propose to identify small molecule compounds that can stimulate human embryonic stem cells to become dopamine-producing neurons. These neurons degenerate in Parkinson's disease, and currently have very limited availability, thus hindering the cell replacement therapy for treating Parkinson's disease.
Our proposed research, if successful, will lead to the identification of small molecule compounds that can not only stimulate cultured human embryonic stem cells to become DA neurons, but may also stimulate endogenous brain stem cells to regenerate, since the small molecule compounds can be made readily available to the brain due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. In addition, these small molecule compounds may serve as important research tools, which can tell us the fundamental biology of the human embryonic stem cells.
The proposed research will potentially lead to a cure for the devastating neurodegenerative, movement disorder, Parkinson's disease. The proposed research will potentially provide important research tools to better understand hESCs. Such improved understanding of hESCs may lead to better treatments for a variety of diseases, in which a stem-cell based therapy could make a difference.
Parkinson's disease is the most common movement disorder due to the degeneration of brain dopaminergic neurons. One strategy to combat the disease is to replenish these neurons in the patients, either through transplantation of stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons, or through promoting endogenous dopaminergic neuronal production or survival. We have carried out a small molecule based screen to identify compounds that can affect the development and survival of dopaminergic neurons from pluripotent stem cells. The small molecules that we have identified will not only serve as important research tools for understanding dopaminergic neuron development and survival, but potentially could also lead to therapeutics in the induction of dopaminergic neurons for treating Parkinson's disease.

Pregunta textual
How long does it take to go there, get water, and come back?
Manual del encuestador
This question is used to find out how convenient the source of water is to the dwelling. Note that the question is asked for water sources coded as '13-81' and '96' in WS1, or water sources coded as '13-96' in WS2. Fill in the estimated time (in minutes, converting from hours, if necessary) it takes by the usual mode of transport to get to the water source, wait to get water, and get back to the dwelling. Use zero(s) preceding the number if less than 100 minutes (for example, '060' or '005'). Then continue to the next question. If the water source is on the dwelling premises or if water is delivered to the dwelling by a vendor, circle '995' for 'Water on premises' and skip to WS5. If the respondent does not know how long it takes, circle '998' and continue on to the next question.

2001 Hot Rod Virtual Power Tour--Day One, May 3Written by on May 1, 2001 The Kick-Off Party Pours Into Pontiac and Overflows the Streets!
We knew it would be big this year, but nobody expected this many rods. Least of all the city fathers in Pontiac, Michigan, who had blocked off almost the entire downtown area for the kick-off of the 7th Annual Hot Rod Power Tour. Despite their best-laid plans, we still had to beg them to cordon off even more streets to make room. The cars just kept a comin', a river of rods all flowing unstoppably into an awesome sea of big engines, fat meats, and loud pipes. Maybe it was all just too much hot iron for one little town to handle, and too much fun as well, but hey--too much is just about right when it comes to hot rodding, right?And we're just getting started, man.
Who would have thought seven years ago that the Power Tour would grow from a few dozen cars roaring down the turnpike into a massive flood of street machines? Like the Mississippi overflowing its banks, theres no way for us to funnel all these roiling rods into one upload. So bookmark these web pages as we keep pumping out as many photos and videos as possible over the next 10 days on our cross-country convoy to San Bernadino, California.
And what would a Power Tour be without some sponsors and all the cool stuff they show? Chevrolet has been our biggest supporter right from the start, and no wonder, considering how many hot rodders use Bow Tie blocks and other speed equipment. As the event has grown tremendously in size, so has the number of sponsors. One of the highlights of the Midway, though, had nothing to do with hot rod products. Taking center stage before the driver's meeting was long-time Power Tour long-hauler Cliff Greenough of Anaheim, California, who proposed to his girlfriend Bonnie Bertram in front of the entire assemblage of hot rodders (she accepted, by the way).
Dont forget to click on the filmstrip icon under the lead photo to see a video download. And check back for the following days updates.

Downtown Pontiac, Michigan had more Hot Rod Power Tour hot rods on hand than it knew what to do with, lined up for as far as the eye could see...The grand prize of the event, to be awarded in San Bernadino, is this 1966 Chevy Nova II, built by expert wrenches at GM Performance and breathed on even more by California Street Rods.Hot rods and Power Tour participants gathered under this wall relief representing Pontiac's namesake Indian tribe.
Wanna drop a Hemi in your PT Cruiser? Check out the web address on the windshield. We'll keep you posted on this and other PT mods on Hotrod.com. Also, a whole passel of PTs will be joining us on the Tour--stay tuned for more photos and video.Look for more on Ford's Forty Nine, a hyper-smooth concept inspired by an earlier era of cars, on Hotrod.com, and in Hot Rod magazine and TV.The only running version of the Ford Forty Nine in existence is powered by a polished Thunderbird engine.What would a Power Tour party be without a rumble? The ever-popular portable chassis dyno stayed busy--and loud--all day long.
