Calvin LaSalle "Ted" Frady, 76, of Penrose died peacefully Saturday, Jan. 3, 2004, at Ivy Hill Health and Retirement Center.
He was a lifelong resident of Transylvania County, son of the late William LaSalle and Anna Hollingsworth Frady. He served with the Navy in World War II, retired from Olin Corporation/Ecusta after 34 years and served as a reserve police officer with the Brevard Police Department for a number of years. He was known in his community for his willingness to help others and was a member of Aden Missionary Baptist in Fletcher.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Alma Kilpatrick Frady; a son, Calvin and his wife, Eunice, of Penrose; a son, Glenn of the home; a daughter, Linda McCall and husband, Mike, of Penrose; his brothers, Merrimon, Wayne and Paul Frady; seven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank the doctors and staff of Black Mountain Center Alzheimers G3 unit and Ivy Hill Alzheimers unit for their loving care and support during his lengthy illness and all of those who were there for us during this time.
Services will be at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Holly Springs Baptist Church, 7265 Crab Creek Road, Penrose. The family will receive friends and family from 1 to 3 p.m. at the church. Services will be conducted by the Rev. Jimmy Taylor and the Rev. Stephen Newman.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Black Mountain Center Alzheimers Unit 1280, Old U.S. Highway 70, Black Mountain N.C. 28711 to honor Ted's wishes.
Moody-Connolly Funeral Home, Brevard, is in charge of the arrangements.

Published on: Jun 5, 2012 - 8:45am
The Philippine Daily Inquirer's Jocelyn R. Uy reports that in his speech during the 6th National Charismatic Congress held in Pasay City last Thursday (May 31), Novaliches Bishop Emeritus Teodoro Bacani said that "instead of going to gatherings by the Church, more people now prefer to attend events organized by charismatic groups mainly because of the 'livelier' and more intense speeches delivered by their preachers." The report quoted Bacani, who observed, "You'll notice that even if the speeches of these preachers are long, the people are awake. But when we (priests) are giving long homilies, the people are asleep."
Bacani went on to commend the preachers of religious groups: "You'll see that (wakefulness) in the people attending El Shaddai, Soldiers of Christ and the gatherings of Bro. Bo Sanchez." The bishop hoped that the priests with "ho-hum" homilies would consider his observations as a "wake-up call."

what's the difference in using tag builder and string builder to create a table in a htmlhelper class, or using the HtmlTable?

what's the difference in using tag builder and string builder to create a table in a htmlhelper class, or using the HtmlTable?
aren't they generating the same thing??
It is not very cool, isn't it?
And compare how you can build it using
Isn't that better?
It's just convenience. From this tutorial:
Look at the methods on TagBuilder, and think about whether they give you value. would you want to do the same thing yourself manually in
There's a point that the other answers have missed so far. If you return
But adding a class attribute to an HTML tag is not the concern of an extension method that creates a table! If we switch to a semantic model (TagBuilder) for generating the HTML, we can add the class attribute outside of the table method.
In addition to TagBuilder, you might want to check out FubuMVC's HtmlTags library. It's a much better model for generating HTML. I have some more details on blog.
Well, sure, but that shouldn't be a deterrent, should it? One class is designed for something more specific than the other, so it offers a greater level of convenience.
I could ask: why use a
Going one step further: why even a
In fact, all I really need is a
My point is just that if a class is available for specialized functionality that you can use, it makes sense to use it if you ask me.
As it is mentioned in the other posts, TagBuilder brings some convenience. But you should consider that TagBuilder and StringBuilder may does not produce the same result. TagBuilder applies html encoding, but StringBuilder doesn't. So it is safer to use TagBuilder to overcome vulnerabilies that may be exploited via XSS attack.
Don't forget to do HTML encoding of values if you are using StringBuilder. I hope TagBuilder do this automatically.

Seeing progress!
February 03, 2016
Published on Walmart.com
I tried another brand … but I have been using this item for a month and have started notable changes. This is in regard to lifted toenail areas … and reattaching to the nail. I haven't had enough use to note thickness changes yet. Also, this bottle was more expensive by a couple of dollars but I have used less than a quarter of a bottle in a month and I apply it liberally twice a day.. The label states it can last 6 months. So it is a great savings considering most other treatments are a month's use per bottle.
Seeing sign of new clear nail growth
January 31, 2016
Cindy, by email
I have been using Nonyx for about six weeks now faithfully twice a day, I'm excited that I am finally noticing some new clear nail growth, I have tried so many other products …., I am feeling hopeful that this is the solution to clearer nails, time will tell, but so far I am happy to see a small sign of new clear nail growth.
Amazing results
November 01, 2015
A. B., by email
After using your product for a relatively short period of time, I could gradually see a major change and now have a toe with no semblance of the horrible look it once had. Thank you!
Happy Nonyx Custoner
October 03, 2015
I'm from Florida and haven't been able to wear sandals or flip flops for years. Within 3 months of using Nonyx, my nail is clear and no longer malformed - and I couldn't be happier! Nonyx ROCKS!!
Discolored Toenails?
If your toenails or fingernails look dark or yellow they may need NonyX Nail Gel. NonyX Gel contains ethanoic acid to remove keratin debris build-up from under the nail. With regular use, your nails are clear and healthy-looking – or your money back. Safe, even for diabetics. The 4oz. bottle is a 6 month supply.
Detailed Description:
Directions for Use:
Deionized Water, Ethanoic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Fragrance
What is keratin debris?
Keratin debris is the white, yellow or brown hard, granular build-up that you see on or under your toenail or fingernail. Keratin debris build-up can cause your nail to separate from the nail bed.
How long will it take to get out the keratin debris?
About 3 to 12 months depending on how fast your nail grows. You'll start to see improvement in about 4 to 5 weeks. Try to use NonyX twice a day, especially after bathing.
What if my nails look no different after a month of using NonyX Nail Gel?
Be patient and be sure you are applying the drop of gel to the surface and underneath the tips of discolored nails. Remember to make the HABIT of using NonyX DAILY.
You can also use the Band-Aid® method to speed things up -
Band-Aid® Method
Where can I buy NonyX?
Click here.
Can I use NonyX on my child's nails?
You can use NonyX on your child if they are old enough (5 or older) to understand not to put their toenails or fingernails near their eyes or get the gel in their eyes, as NonyX is an eye irritant. You should apply the gel yourself and keep it out of reach of your child when not in use. NonyX is non-toxic.
What is ethanoic acid?
The ethanoic acid in NonyX is the exfoliant of keratin debris. Ehtanoic acid used in NonyX breaks down only the keratin debris. It has no effect on your normal nail plate. The ethanoic acid in NonyX Nail Gel is made from fermented corn and wheat with water added.
Can nail color be used while using NonyX?
Nonyx Nail Gel will not penetrate nail polish. However, you can apply Nonyx as follows under nail polish: Apply a smooth coat of gel to bare nails, let dry then polish. Apply gel under nail tips daily, if possible. Repeat with every change of polish, change polish more frequently than usual and scrape out softened keratin debris weekly once it is softened.
Instrucciones para el uso:
Aplique una o dos gotas de NonyX nail gel, dos veces al dia sobre la uña o donde tenga descoloramiento. Esparza la gelatina sobre la uña con un aplicador. Incerte la gelatina debajo de la uña y en las areas afectadas (si nota irritacion en la piel o por las uñas, deje de usar el producto hasta que la irritacion desparezca.) Espere un par de minutos antes de cubrirse los pies con medias o zapatos. Para mejores resultados, appliqué la gelatina despues de la ducha o despues de haberse lavado y secado los pies. Trate de limarse las uñas una vez por semana para rejuveneser la capa. Despues de 3 o 4 semanas empieze a quitar los reciduos de piel y uñas con una pinsa o corta uñas. Repita esto cada semana despues y limpie su pinsa o corta uñas con NonyX Gel. Empieze aver resultados en el color de las uñas en 3 a 4 semanas. Los resultados seguiran mejorando con el uso intensive de NonyX Gel por las proximas semanas y meses.

About Me
I am one of the many women working in the development sector trying to help out as much as I could, in any way I could.
As a disability generalist, I encountered first hand issues that affect people with disabilities, hear a lot of stories on how life can be challenging as woman or girl with disability, and when I can I try to help by sharing my knowledge and skills ensuring that when I leave I leave behind something of me that they can go on, or inspired them to be somebody. Not only people with disabilities, I encountered women in general – professionals, relatives, neighbors etc. that one way or the other affect change to the community where they live.
I always go home to my country feeling happy at the same time frustrated that I am mere human, that I am limited but at the same time, in touch with reality that God gave me this opportunity that I may be able to touch others and share with them His graces and love.
Time has changed, globalization made the world smaller and through this, people I met years ago, I meet again online and I am happy to see what had become of them. This inspired me to start something at home, realizing that I can continue to travel the world and be in touch with the group of young people with disabilities in my village. This young group has a lot of dreams – the same dream I had when I was just starting but because of disability, achieving them may take more time, effort and money. My participation is simple, I help them tell their story, that's one reason I write blogs and link them to other organizations that otherwise would not know them.
The future is now open, ready for grabbing and I like to see that all women, girls with disabilities, the young, old have opportunity to get in it and take what they can – too take back and make something of what the world has to offer.
All I can do is provide what I can and the rest is up to them … to open some doors and let them through … and in the end we all are owner of our future.
The last phrase in the peom of my favorite poem "Invictus" resonates so much of what I dream for all … that we all be saying "I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE AND CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL"
My Vision for the Future
To live in a world where everybody is free. No more wars. No more fighting.
To live in a world where we, WOMEN are free to express ourselves, leading the world, building a happy family, raising good children and belonging in a community where the value of humanity is uphold to the highest esteem.
To be who we are and want to be!

FONTANA: Wind-whipped recycling center fire destroys buildings, vehicles
1 of 3More Galleries
A firefighter battles a blaze at a Fontana recycling plant on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014. (SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT/CONTRIBUTED IMAGE)
Burning cardboard at a recycling center ignited a wind-whipped, three-alarm blaze that destroyed two buildings, heavily damaged several others and burned vehicles that included a big rig, fire officials say.
The fire began at 9:39 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, at Fontana Recycling Center in the 14900 block of Slover Avenue, southeast of Interstate 10 and Cherry Avenue.
"Employees tried to put out the (cardboard) fire using fire extinguishers, however strong winds quickly spread the fire, and employees were forced to evacuate," San Bernardino County Fire Department spokeswoman Tracey Martinez said in a written statement.
Sustained 25 mph winds — gusting to 50 mph — spread the flames to another building and other bundles of cardboard before fire crews arrived. Burning embers rode the wind for up to a quarter-mile, igniting additional fires.
Explosions were heard in a diesel storage container, according to the statement. Power lines fell. And one person suffered smoke inhalation.
The two-hour battle involved crews from the county fire department and the cities of Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Colton, Rialto, and Loma Linda.
There was no immediate estimate of the damage costs or the fire's cause.

The people who run and support the health care system who don't want the government takeover just have to refuse to cooperate with the people calling themselves "government". That'll send Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid a short, but effective message:
Pass whatever "law" you want – we won't comply. Impose your fines – we won't pay.
If you're uncomfortable with not complying with the "law", then consider all the other thousands of "laws" people disobey everyday, such as couples living together, the so-called "unlawful cohabitation laws" and more here.
Non-violent, non-cooperation is the only method politicians have no weapon to oppose. They ignore the tea parties and venting on radio shows: they coudn't care less if you don't like their so-called "laws". However, there's nothing they can do when people non-violently refuse to cooperate.

Here are some pics of my latest project. I did a 6 mile test ride yesterday and I consider it a success. It started as a couple of bikes literally abandoned in my front yard a few years ago. Both had been ridden to destruction and abused to the point that about the only thing left was the frame. The front one is a Huffy and the rear (the only one I had to cut) is a Murray. Both American made. I believe it is going to become my regular ride.
Putting them together like this gave me a 51 inch wheelbase and a 28 inch seat height. I can sit on the seat with my feet flat on the ground and with the crank forward I still get the correct leg extension when pedaling. The glitch in my right thigh and knee that I get when riding my 1976 Schwinn shopper (picture enclosed) seems to be gone as is the hip glitch I get on the recumbent. The handle bars position my hands below my shoulders and in more or less a natural position so no trouble with my hands going to sleep so far at least. I sit pretty much upright so I can enjoy the scenery and also see the driver in the SUV that is on the phone and is about to turn me into another bothersome smudge on the bumper. The pedal position also seats me firmly on my big butt which has relieved the wreckage to my crotch that I get on a normal upright. The rack is a '60's vintage child's seat folded. It is set up with a 5 speed freewheel and a 36 tooth chainring which gives me pretty low gearing that I can live with but I would like it to be higher. Low is too low to be useful. It weighs 35lbs.
This was an original idea for me but since starting it I have come to find that many before me have done the same thing. I have seen pictures of at least two others. I got the idea from the new crank forward bikes that you can pick up for a mere 500 bucks. Total cash outlay for this one is $24.00 for high rise handle bars and and a new tire.

Harvesting fruit in July
July is normally the start of the fruit harvesting season for several varieties of fruit. Picking fruit is a fun and healthy pastime – what can be better than fresh handpicked fruit?
The first blackberries can be picked in July, and with a bit of luck the harvest period will continue until September. Do not fill your bucket with too many berries, as the berries at the bottom will get crushed giving you instant blackberry juice! Blackberries can be eaten straight away, but they can also be frozen, and they are excellent for making jam and juice.
Summer raspberries ripen from July to August, depending on the temperatures in spring. The fruits can be picked as soon as they turn a nice pink colour. If you leave a short length of stem on the fruits as you pick them, this will prevent the juice from running out of the fruits at the bottom of the basket.
The fruiting branches die down after the harvest and should preferably be removed immediately.
Tip: If your raspberry bush produces a monster harvest, you could store the surplus fruits in the deep-freeze or use them to make jam. This will allow you to experience the fabulous taste of summer a second time! When freezing the fruits, lay them separately on a tray until they are frozen, after which they can be stored in bags.
Peaches and apricots
You can expect the fruits to ripen from the end of July. They can be picked as soon as they begin to soften (do not pinch them too often!). Pick them in time so that the mature fruits do not fall on the ground and get damaged. The harvested fruits will continue to ripen in a sunny position. However, you should keep a close eye on them as they can ripen and go mouldy very quickly. These fruits are at their best when eaten at exactly the right time!
Check strawberries regularly for weeds, and give them a weekly dose of potassium-rich fertilizer, added to the water.
This is a good time to harvest delicious strawberries. Leave the crown on the fruit when you pick them. Not only will they last for longer, but this also prevents mould formation on the plants!
Blackcurrants can also be picked now. The bush can be partially pruned during harvesting.
Tip: Cut off the branches before harvesting and take them indoors. This makes it easier to pick the fruit.
Redcurrants and white currants
These currants can be harvested by cutting off or pulling off the long bunches of fruits. The currants can then be pulled from the stems. If the bush is given a summer pruning at the end of July, this will encourage the remaining fruits to ripen.

Hi There,
Someone mentioned this question would be best posted in this forum. I have not owned a bike in ages. My primary reason is for excercise. I'm a fairly heavy guy. (About 270 lbs at most) I am getting ready to puchase a bike, but my money is extremely limited. I'd probably have to cap myself at $400 CDN, but might possibly be able to stretch it to $500 if needed. I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck, but have no idea what brands/models are good. Once I get used to biking again, and have built up a little endurance, I plan to start riding to work on it. Can anyone suggest any particular bike models that would suit me? I realize that if down the road if I really get in to biking, I may need to upgrade it, but I'll cross that bridge if/when I come to it.

Lake Champlain bike ferry running in Vt. town
COLCHESTER — A ferry service for cyclists on the Colchester Causeway in Lake Champlain is back in business after a two-year absence caused by flood damage.
The Colchester Causeway Bike Ferry resumed service along the Island Line Trail on June 14, said Chapin Spencer, the executive director of Local Motion, the group that runs the ferry.
"We had a good first weekend," Spencer told the Burlington Free Press. "The weather was great Friday and Saturday and we had hundreds of boardings each day."
It took to 545 donations and countless hours of work to restore the ferry service.
The bike ferry connects a 200-foot water gap in the historic three-mile marble railroad causeway that crosses Lake Champlain between Colchester and South Hero.
The 14-mile Island Line Trail unites the Burlington Bike Path, the Colchester Causeway and the Allen Point Fish and Wildlife Access Area in South Hero.
Local Motion is a member-supported nonprofit promoting people-powered transportation and recreation.
During the summer, the ferry runs on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. In the fall it runs Saturday, Sunday and holidays with the same hours. Spencer said the service will have to be suspended in certain high wind conditions.

AZ Secretary of State Satisfied That President Obama is a US Citizen By Howard Fischer • May 23, 2012 Gage Skidmore One hurdle to Barack Obama being on the November ballot has been removed. That came late Tuesday when Secretary of State Ken Bennett got an e-mail from Hawaii officials confirming for him that they do, in fact, have an original birth certificate for the president on file. "There's 12 points," he noted. "The first one says a birth certificate is on file with the department of health indicating that Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. And then the second through 12th points each deal with a different point that we asked in the request."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The surname Sparling is a ancient Anglo-Saxon name that is derived from the baptismal name for the son of Spirling, which was an ancient Old English personal name. After the Norman Conquest, the Old English naming system gradually dissolved. Old English names became less common and were replaced by popular continental European names. The earliest surnames in England were found shortly after the Norman Conquest and are of Norman French rather than native English origins.
The surname Sparling was first found in Hertfordshire where they held a family seat from ancient times, some say long before the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Sparling, Sparlin, Sperling, Spurling and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Sparling research. Another 269 words (19 lines of text) covering the years 1809 and 1834 are included under the topic Early Sparling History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Sparling Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Sparling family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 119 words (8 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Sparling Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Sparling Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Sparling Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtutis honor praemium
Motto Translation: Honor is the prize of valor.
The Sparling Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Sparling Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

The 'Sexist' Tales of Peter Rabbit and Fantastic Mr Fox
Byline: Kate Loveys
CHILDREN'S literature is inherently sexist because the majority of heroes are male, a study claims.
An analysis of 6,000 best-selling children's books published during the past century concludes that male lead characters vastly outnumber female ones.
And in a conclusion that will baffle fans of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Anne of Green Gables and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, researchers said their findings indicated a 'symbolic annihilation of women'.
Overall, 31 per cent of the best-sellers featured a female lead character, compared to 57 per cent featuring a male.
The remainder gave equal weight to a male and female protagonist, or had a gender-neutral character.
And in books where the characters are animals - such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Fantastic Mr Fox and Winnie-the-Pooh - leading and positive female roles are scarcer.
The likes of Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle had key roles in just 7.5 per cent of children's books. Male rabbits, bears, owls, dogs, foxes and toads were more prevalent - they were the lead char-acters in 23 per cent of books.
The study found that the imbalance has worsened since the turn of the 20th century, when the split was even. …

Why do drivers feel the need to honk, shout, and cuss at bike riders? On almost every single ride I get some driver honking or shouting at me. It is so discouraging.
Yesterday I was happily riding along on a wide street with low traffic and plenty of room for me and cars, yet this driver pulls up next to me, rolls down his passenger window and shouts out for me to ride on the sidewalk. I get that shouted at me all the time, but never had someone make a point of pulling up next to me to look at me and shout it.
Then tonight as I'm riding home about to make a right into my driveway, (I did use my hand signal in advance to indicate my turn), when I slowed down a little and began to turn this idiot behind me lays on his horn and starts cussing me out, calling me awful names. It doesn't make any sense--there was plenty of room for him to continue on in his lane and I only slowed a little bit. I was faster turning in than a car would have been!
I know many of you will say to just ignore them, which is what I've been doing, but it is getting to where I'm getting tense because I never know when someone's going to suddenly start honking and shouting at me when I'm not doing a damn thing wrong .
The bad thing is I'm also starting to get angry about it and just want to flip those SOB's off!

Little said that's when the officers opened fire, striking the man.

Taking Aim at William Tell: Referendum Could Change Swiss Gun Culture
The Swiss vote in a referendum this Sunday on a measure to collect military-issue weapons. The aim is to store guns in public arsenals, rather than at home -- and cut down on domestic violence. But it could end a tradition of gun ownership associated with Swiss independence and the legend of William Tell.
This poster against an initiative to round up military-issue guns in Switzerland reads: "A weapons monopoly for criminals? No." But increased gun control is favored by a slight majority of the Swiss.
Switzerland is an exception to many clichés about Europe, but gun control is one of the most unexpected. In stark contrast to the neighboring European Union, and in spite of the country's placid image of cow pastures, Alpine landscapes and official neutrality in war, every third Swiss household owns a gun.
The measure, surprisingly, may pass. The country's stout tradition of gun ownership has been rattled by a persistently high suicide rate and a number of mass murders, including a 2001 incident involving a commercial version of the Swiss army's SG 550 assault rifle. Doctors and women's groups have also argued that guns in the closet lead to more bloody accidents and lethal disputes at home.
"If you make firearms less accessible, there will be fewer suicides. It's that simple," Elsa Kurz, from the Geneva-based group Stop Suicide, told the Associated Press. Switzerland has the highest rate of suicide by firearm of any European nation -- about 26 percent, compared to 2.8 percent in the UK and about 1 percent in Germany.
'Pro Tell'
Switzerland's rate of gun murder is still relatively low, about 0.3 homicides by firearm per 100,000 people (compared to 4.2 per 100,000 in the United States). And gun-rights advocates argue that restricting firearms won't bring down the suicide rate overall. "Anyone who wants to commit suicide will find a way," said Willy Pfund, president of the gun-rights group Pro Tell, according to the Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger.
The name "Pro Tell" suggests how deep private-firearm traditions run in Switzerland. William Tell, the semi-legendary folk hero, was an ordinary farmer who brought his hunting crossbow to one of the first Swiss wars of independence. As the legend has it, he not only shot an apple off his son's head; he also killed Albrecht Gessler, an unloved local deputy of the Habsburg empire.
Guns in Switzerland, like guns in America, are associated with liberty, and local gun clubs as well as Swiss military groups have opposed the arsenal law with rhetoric about freedom. "The real purpose of this initiative is to weaken the militia army and withdraw the state's confidence in its citizens," said Markus Müller, spokesman for a group of Swiss military officers called ASMZ, according to AP. "Only a disarmed people can be oppressed."
A Conservative Black Sheep
Popular attitudes, though, are changing. "As a child, I experienced the threat of gun violence," a conservative parliamentarian named This Jenny told the Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger last month. He saw it happen in a friend's house as a boy, he said. "When children have to stare down a gun barrel, and feel fear," he said, "they will be traumatized."
Jenny, 59, belongs to the controversial Swiss People's Party (SVP), an anti-immigrant party that won national seats in 2007 and that -- as a bloc -- strongly opposes the arsenal law. As a party renegade on this issue, Jenny has agreed not to cross his colleagues by campaigning in favor of it. "I could make three campaign appearances a week, but I don't," he told the Tagesanzeiger. But he says he's received hundreds of emails from people who feel threatened and frustrated by the presence of a gun at home.
"A gun is a different dimension," he told the newspaper. "It's final. It can curdle a woman's blood."
According to Claude Longchamp, who heads gfs.bern, there's a 24 percentage point difference between male and female voters, which represents the widest gender-based difference his institute has seen in 10 years of research.
"Many women believe that it is unnecessary to keep a firearm at home nowadays," he told the website swissinfo.ch, "whereas men typically fear for cherished Swiss traditions, and therefore tend to oppose the initiative."

 I have talked to Apple Support and to Corel Support ... neither of whom can help.

Mmmm… It's been a pretty mixed bag, really. I've managed to fry a fair few of my chillies under the new lights, and seriously under-water those remaining (the 4:1 mix is obviously more freely draining than anticipated)! As a result, I have, as of today's potting on session only 1 or 2 of everything, which doesn't really leave much room for "attrition" later on!
Couple this with a serious aphid infestation which appeared overnight while I was away recently, and which I'm struggling to get on top of, the early start seems to have been rather more trouble than it's worth. I've been squishing, washing, and dunking in garlic and chilli solution, and the little s***s seem to be completely unphased by it all. Don't want to resort to poison, but if it comes to a choice between that and no Chillies, I'm afraid my lofty organic principles are flying straight out of the window!
To top it all off, there's been a complete and utter rota failure at work (not my fault), and it turns out that I'm on Nights this weekend (and should have been there yesterday evening, rather than drinking wine and watching "The Killing"!)
But to end on a positve note: The geraniums are budding, the Camellia is about to burst into bloom, the Blueberry is also budding, I've harvested more salad than 2 people can reasonably eat (it seems it was just pretending to be dead, and the recent sunny/warm weather has induced a Lazarus-style resurrection), and the Hellebore that was the subject of the "Nephew + Weedkiller Attack Incident" is now blooming merrily! The Mini Iris continue to look beautiful, and I've spent much of the morning watching 3 squrrels play/squabble/procreate. Although I've lost a Sorrel, and several of the Oregano, there's hope in the herb-garden in the form of some gorgeous fresh shoots of Tarragon and the Mint and Lemon Balm have also decided to put in an appearance
Another upside: The unexpected Night shifts mean that I get most of next week off to spend as I will: let's just hope that the predicted freeze doesn't arrive

|Can Conservatives Show That "We Care?"
|S-CHIP and Sacrifice
by Christopher Chantrill
October 30, 2007 at 4:48 am
MICHAEL Moores SiCKO is opening in Britain this week, but the British are not amused. Anyone can extol the virtues of universal government-furnished health care, they say, when they have never had to use it. Writes Minette Marrin in the London Times:
You would never guess from Sicko that the NHS [National Health Service] is in deep trouble, mired in scandal and incompetence, despite the injection of billions of pounds of taxpayers money.
Not to worry, writes Peter Huber in Cherry Garcia and the End of Socialized Medicine in City Journal. The new age of molecular medicine, of designer drugs for specific genetic defects, is going to break up the current system of government universal health care that Michael Moore so loves.
It all goes back to 1987 when Ben and Jerrys introduced the Cherry Garcia, a monument to unhealthy eating habits. But, writes Huber,
The Food and Drug Administration struck back three months later when it approved the first of a new family of statin drugs that curb cholesterol production in the human liver.
The new molecular medicine will not just curb nasty things in the human body, he asserts. It will destroy the political consensus for universal health care.
Our current health care system is built upon the extraordinary success of the war against germ-carried disease. Water-borne diseases like cholera and airborne diseases like tuberculosis lend themselves to sweeping governmental action and one-size-fits-all programs. After all, Cholera killed a duchess as easily as a flower girl. Sweeping programs of sanitation and vaccination became the stock-in-trade of every politician and bureaucrat.
But in the new health order of drugs and gene warfare things are not so simple.
The designer drugs of molecular medicine are specific and individual. They aim to correct specific genetic deficiencies and compensate for unhealthy life habits. Thus, says Huber:
Disease and its cures now depend on factors too fragmented for conventional insurance pools to contain, too costly for public treasuries to underwrite, and too divisive for public authorities even to discuss, much less manage.
Pretty soon a president will come along and promise to end government health care as we know it.
Maybe she will. But it is likely that first we will test the universal health care system paradigm to destruction.
When things go wrong, political leaders and their leading experts is to resort first of all to compulsion and prohibition rather than letting markets and the consumer decide. Right now they have fatties in their sights.
Morbidly obese people in their fifties are costing the government a ton of money by coming into government hospitals to get bariatric surgery and hip and knee transplants. The obvious thing to do is to stop restaurants and food stores from selling them the evil fatty foods that have fueled their enormity.
Thats why nanny Mayor Bloomberg has forced restaurants to remove trans-fat from their menus in New York City. Reports Tom Elliott:
Bloomberg believes "Public-information campaigns are insufficient. In the realm of public health, law really does the work."
He means that the government wants to force you to be healthy.
No doubt the only sensible course is to privatize health care and allow the market to perform its miracles, as Peter Huber suggests.
But Michael Moore and his slacker-liberal army would fight to the last mockumentary to stop that. They have a right to free and unlimited health care and they know it.
You might wonder why they make such a fuss. After all, Huber writes,
Three-dollar statins in New York in 1996 get 30-cent statins to London in 2006 and three-cent statins to Kuala Lumpur a few years later.
But thats not good enough for our progressive friends. They want three-cent statins now. Anything less is a triumph of greed over human need.
Most Americans are not slacker liberals. But they dont see why they should pay as much in monthly payments for drugs as they do for the family SUV.
They are moderates. That means that they will vote for a moderate amount of compulsion and expropriation to solve the next crisis in health care. Its a practical thing. When they or their loved ones need an expensive procedure or designer drug, they know that cost should be not be a factor, at least not for them.
Thats why it would be prudent not to place any bets on the end of socialized medicine any time soon.
Instead, we should expect it to lurch from one disaster to the next.
Its encouraging to think that Hillary Clinton is uniquely qualified, by education, temperament, experience, and plain dumb luck to be the US leader fated to test universal health insurance to destruction.
After she and her wrecking crew have finished then we can start to build a health care system that really works.
Meanwhile there is always medical tourism.

Civil Societya complex welter of intermediate institutions, including businesses, voluntary associations, educational institutions, clubs, unions, media, charities, and churchesbuilds, in turn, on the family, the primary instrument by which people are socialized into their culture and given the skills that allow them to live in broader society and through which the values and knowledge of that society are transmitted across the generations.
Francis Fukuyama, Trust
[W]hen I asked a liberal longtime editor I know with a mainstream [publishing] house for a candid, shorthand version of the assumptions she and her colleagues make about conservatives, she didn't hesitate. Racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-choice fascists, she offered, smiling but meaning it.

Herbert Spencer, The Man Versus the State
These emerge out of long-standing moral notions of freedom, benevolence, and the affirmation of ordinary life... I have been sketching a schematic map... [of] the moral sources [of these notions]... the original theistic grounding for these standards... a naturalism of disengaged reason, which in our day takes scientistic forms, and a third family of views which finds its sources in Romantic expressivism, or in one of the modernist successor visions.
Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self
Families helped each other putting up homes and barns. Together, they built churches, schools, and common civic buildings. They collaborated to build roads and bridges. They took pride in being free persons, independent, and self-reliant; but the texture of their lives was cooperative and fraternal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
For [the left] there is only the state and the individual, nothing in between. No family to rely on, no friend to depend on, no community to call on. No neighbourhood to grow in, no faith to share in, no charities to work in. No-one but the Minister, nowhere but Whitehall, no such thing as society - just them, and their laws, and their rules, and their arrogance.
David Cameron, Conference Speech 2008
As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable...
[1.] protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; [2.] recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family... [3.] the protection of the right of parents to educate their children.
Pope Benedict XVI, Speech to European Peoples Party, 2006
No lesson seems to be so deeply inculcated by the experience of life as that you should never trust experts. If you believe doctors, nothing is wholesome: if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent: if you believe the soldiers, nothing is safe. They all require their strong wine diluted by a very large admixture of insipid common sense.
Lord Salisbury, Letter to Lord Lytton
What distinguishes true Conservatism from the rest, and from the Blair project, is the belief in more personal freedom and more market freedom, along with less state intervention... The true Third Way is the Holy Grail of Tory politics today - compassion and community without compulsion.
Minette Marrin, The Daily Telegraph
In England there were always two sharply opposed middle classes, the academic middle class and the commercial middle class. In the nineteenth century, the academic middle class won the battle for power and status... Then came the triumph of Margaret Thatcher... The academics lost their power and prestige and... have been gloomy ever since.

Ishmael Reed is an internationally renowned, award-winning novelist, poet, playwright, and essayist with more than 25 published books and six plays to his credit.
He's also a visiting scholar in the MFA Program in Writing at California College of the Arts.
Recently, his article "Neo-Classical Republicanism" was published in the New York Times in the Opinion Pages section:
"During Tuesday's State of the Union address, President Obama declared that 'Our housing market is healing, our stock market is rebounding and consumers, patients and homeowners enjoy stronger protections than ever before.'
Tell that to black Americans, who were hit harder than the rest of the country by the recession and are having a harder time recovering. That struggle is not a coincidence, or merely a result of past inequality. During the housing bubble, blacks were deliberately targeted for subprime loans: as Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said, the big banks committed 'systematic discrimination against blacks and Hispanics.'"
About Ishmael Reed
Reed also is a publisher, editor of numerous anthologies and magazines, television producer, radio and television commentator, teacher, and lecturer. In addition to his 26 years spent as a lecturer at UC Berkeley, Reed also taught at Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale.
New and Collected Poems, 1964–2006 (Carroll & Graf, 2006) was recently released in paperback and New and Collected Poems, 1964–2007 (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2007) was listed by The New York Times Book Review as one of the four best books of poetry published in 2006. The latter title also received the California Gold Medal in Poetry by the Commonwealth Club in June 2007.
In 1998 he became the 23rd UC Berkeley faculty member to be awarded with the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship award.

Hello. I'm having a few problems with installing new updates on what i believe is a Window Vista Laptop.
I had a look at the other threads but none of them resolved my problem.. It seems something is different. Because at one stage, all i was getting was an Error message saying Dependency Service or group failed to start. After i resolved it. I then tried to install the latest Windows Update. That's when i got the Error Code 80073712.
I followed the other threads to try reslove the issue.. But when i opened CMD and typed in:
takeown /f C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
To delete it and rename it..
It came up saying ERROR The system cannot find the file specified.
It has confused me and I cannot find an solutions online at all.
I hope that anyone could help me with this issue.
Thank-you for giving the time to read this.
