A sure sign markets are bullish is when optimism about large-scale floats resurfaces and banks start sounding out buyers for assets they have not been mandated to sell.
One corner of the sharemarket that investors cannot get enough of is telecommunications. Appetite for reliable, defensive earnings and high dividends has sent stocks such as iiNet and TPG Telecom to their highest levels on record.
Meanwhile, telco heavyweight Telstra is at its highest level in 4 ½ years
So for the owner of any telecoms asset now would presumably be a good time to sell. Leighton Holdings agrees with this theory, putting telco assets on the block. It is believed they could fetch as much as $750 million.
But the sector gorilla is Optus. It is understood a few fund managers and at least one trade buyer have been approached about a potential buy-in to the SingTel Australian consumer business.
The timing is interesting because Optus could have billions of dollars in capital expenditure ahead of it – on spectrum licences and a major expansion of its 4G network. The business is certainly not being managed for a sale, with new boss Kevin Russell downbeat on shrinking industry revenues with growth to return in coming years.
Optus delivered a 2.6 per cent rise in quarterly earnings last week, driven largely by Russell shedding almost 1000 jobs and scaling back subsidies and commissions.
It means Optus is on track to deliver full-year EBITDA in line with last year's $2.4 billion. Optus's bitter rival Telstra is trading at about 6.5 times forecast 2013 EBITDA, which suggests Optus could be worth a staggering $16 billion.
A transaction of this size would be the biggest consumer deal since Wesfarmers bought Coles in 2007, and it seems highly unlikely the equity market could support such a big listing.
But perhaps a deal could see a strategic investor – or public equities investors – take a minority stake.
Whether that would fit with SingTel's hands-on culture is another matter, but it could pave the way for a larger sell-down in the future. Optus's steady and reliable cash flows have proved useful in funding its bets in high-growth emerging markets in Asia and Africa.
Presumably they will also be useful in its latest push into digital content.

If you could choose just the one, would you prefer to vist Winter Garden Village or The Loop?
We've been to The Loop a few times but never Winter Garden Village.
Never been to The Loop but really enjoyed Winter Garden Village last time and will be visiting there again in August.
There - that's was no help at all was it. :lol:
likewise! WGV is always nice but never been to the loop so comparison hard :/
I don`t think there is really a lot to choose between the two of them.
We did enjoy having dinner at WGV a while back [at Bonefish I think :unsure:] with our property managers, but we tend to go to the Loop more often as it is closer to where our villa is located.
OK I 'fess, never heard of The Loop. What am I missing? :unsure:
Not much :lol: the layout is very strange, the car parks are in the middle with all the shops around the outside. We didn't like it, here is a layout so you can see how spread out it is.Quote:

I like The Loop because it is quiet and we don't shop a lot so I like that you can pretty much park outside the shop you want. Not sure I would like it much for an extensive shopping trip though :unsure:
We went to the loop for the first time yesterday and it's pretty similar IMHO to WGV. It doesn't feel as "nice" perhaps but it's not scummy either.
One thing I find weird with most of these places is the distance between shops! We really had to drive to the shops we wanted and park outside, walking would've taken ages :lol: but then I think that's similar for WGV
I would add that for those around the Davenport area, posner park is much closer than both loop/wgv, just one junction down the I4 and has a lot of the same shops. A super target, books a million, bestbuy etc. It's not yet as developed perhaps but the major stuff is there. No good for restaurants at the moment though
Get you Keith. :lol:Quote:

One of the challenges smokers face is keeping the smell of cigarette smoke out of everything that they come in contact with from their clothing to their vehicle. Since cigarette smoke is easily absorbed into everything it comes into contact with, it is difficult to remove it from everything from clothing, to houses and vehicles. Since their vehicles are one of the places that people who smoke share with their children, co workers, family, and friends, often times on a daily basis and some or all of them that do not smoke. Cigarette smoke can also damage the color of the interior of a vehicle, can burn the inside of a car, and can lower the value of a car. Car dealers reduce the value of a car when it comes to trade in or resale of the car.Therefore, it is a good idea to never smoke in a car to begin with or if smoking does take place in a car, it is important to keep the smell of cigarette smoke out of vehicles. Some may think that this is an impossible task, but it can be done. Car windshields are one part of the vehicle where cigarette smoke is absorbed and it can be hard to get out of the windows.
When smoking takes place in a vehicle, a hazy film regularly develops on the inside of the windows. Not only does it make the windows look bad, it can impair the view from the windows and make driving hazardous. Thankfully, it is easy to make a cleaner that will remove this film from the windows. All that is needed is a clean spray bottle, white vinegar, water, a squeegee, and soft towels. The first step is to fill a clean spray bottle halfway full of water. Then, fill the bottle the rest of the way with vinegar, gently shake the bottle to mix the vinegar and water, and spray the windows on the inside of the car with the mixture. After that scrape and wipe the windshields with a clean squeegee, and clean the windows with soft towels. Baking soda can help a lot with cleaning the smell of cigarettes out of a vehicle as well.
When using baking soda to remove cigarette smoke from a vehicle, the first step is to sprinkle baking soda wherever there is carpet and upholstery in the car. Then put some on the dashboard and headliner. Let it sit on the surfaces that it is put on so it can be absorbed into them. The next important step is to vacuum the inside of the vehicle.
Vacuuming the car is the next step and it is very important. Be sure to vacuum every surface of the car to make sure that all the baking soda has been removed. Take the floor mats out, vacuum where they were. Also, do not forgot to vacuum the rear windshield and the roof. If this step is not done thoroughly, then baking soda will not just stay in the place where it was not vacuumed up from, it will move all over the car. That is why it is important to vacuum the whole vehicle. Using a cleaner spray that neutralizes odors is the next crucial step.
A spray that neutralizes odors is very important to getting cigarette smell odors out of a vehicle. Depending on how bad the cigarette smell is, this step may need to be more than once or the surfaces may need to be sprayed a lot. An odor-absorbing cleaner can also be used as long as it is one that is made for a car. Put the cleaner on the vehicle's dashboard and trim panels and then use soft towels to rub the cleanser on the surfaces. Then, use a clean towel to remove any extra cleaner. If the cigarette smell and the harm it has caused to a vehicle is extremely bad, there is a solution for that as well.
Another way to not have your car smell like an ash tray, but still give you the ability to smoke is switching from an analog cigarette to an e-cig or better known as electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette uses an atomizer that burns a substance called an e juice or vape juice that contains flavored nicotine, simulating the feelings of real analog cigarettes, but without the bad smell and the carcinogens. There are many companies that can offer the best premium e liquid brands on the market like Cuttwood, vape addict suicide bunny.
If the smell of cigarette smoke is so strong that it has not been removed from the vehicle yet and/or it has caused damage to the car, using commercial bombs or foggers are designed for very heavy or persistent damage. A lot of them are made for homes and rooms. If the damage to a vehicle is extremely serious, then these bombs or foggers can make all the difference in the world. If these steps are followed, then a damaged, dirty, foul-smelling, and/or sour smelling vehicle, can turn into sweet smelling vehicles.

The Mefo change is one 1934 financing instrument sketched by Hjalmar pit for the Vorfinanzierung of expenditures for realm (defence expenditure). For secrecy reasons the Mefo changes were called special changes. Only for a long time after the expenditure stop they became known as Mefo changes.
Of Mefo changes the metallurgical research association Ltd. was more referred, for whose debts the realm took over the directly liable endorsement. Drew the capital stock for the metallurgical research association in May 1933 four large considerable German enterprises, i.e. Siemens, Krupp and Rheinmetall at a value of a million realm Mark. The Mefo GmbH had been conceived from the outset as dummy firm; it did not have further function and/or business purpose.
All enterprises, which implemented tasks on behalf of the state, issued now the Mefo changes. The realm bank explained itself ready to receive and exchange in cash these changes at any time. The running time of the changes amounted to at the beginning of six months and was again and again extended, so that the changes were finally five years in the circulation. The problem was however that with the expenditure of the Mefo changes a galloping cash bargeldvermehrung had to begin, if all suppliers would redeem the changes with the realm bank. Pit however built before and equipped the changes with an annual interest of 4%. It happened, what it intended. The changes became related among the suppliers as popular currency, whatever brought in addition still another interest yield.
The Mefo changes were nothing else as a loan of the realm bank to the realm. This path of the financing was taken in such a way, since the realm banking law did not permit larger loan amounts, which went beyond 400 million RM.
Altogether 31 became from 1934 to. March of 1938 Mefo changes at a value of twelve billion realm Mark spent. They financed approx. 45% of the defence expenditure accumulated up to then (to end of 1939 were approx. 20%). However eight billion of the market were taken up by these twelve billion RM. They were thus not redeemed with the realm bank. Pit intention of preventing a noticeable inflation came up thus.
Starting from April 1938 the Mefo changes were replaced by short term realm treasury bonds. The Mefo changes coming to the redemption could be exchanged again into other short term changes. In the time of 31. March 1938 to 31. March 1939 exploded the expenditure of these short term treasury bonds. Thus in only one year 4.2 billion RM were spent of it.
Pit was it, which forbade the expenditure of new Mefo changes and thus and was set off short time made itself unpopular with Hitler later than realm bank president.
Spent Mefo changes since 1934 (after pit):
90% the Mefo change were in the possession of the business banks. Only 10% still were in the commercial economy. In detail still were in the circulation:
The principal reason, why the banks were interested much in the possession of the Mefo changes, is because of the legal regulations of the document of identification relating to the balance of the special changes. They could be booked under the balance post "commercial bill". Thus the Mefo changes could become "hidden" also before foreign shareholders. The secrecy remained thus protected.
With the expenditure stop for Mefo changes the expenditure of the single bills of exchange in such a way specified of the gold discount bank began at 1937 to 1945. They had practically the same function and equipment as the Mefo changes.

Israel Can't Count on Europe - Yet
The Europeans are willing to recognize Israel's right to exist, but generally do not take the trouble to learn the details and intricacies of the conflict in the Middle East. They prefer not to dirty their hands in this quagmire - unlike the Americans.
In his article "A German National Interest" (Haaretz, December 5, 2004), the German ambassador to Israel, Rudolf Dressler, couples the complexity of Israeli-German relations - against the background of history and the two countries' diplomatic relations over 40 years - with Israel's apparent need to strengthen its ties with Europe at the expense of its special relationship with the United States.
Germany is a friend of Israel and this can be seen in many areas. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that those who are leading the pro-Israel policy in Germany are the majority of its elected officials along with members of academy. That, however, is not necessarily a reflection of the situation at all levels of society, perhaps because the German media has not been very fair to Israel in recent years.
In meetings with German ministers and members of parliament, we hear the concern for continuity and their doubts, as reflected in the question: To what extent will the Germans succeed in preserving their special attitude toward Israel when the generation of those who were teenagers during the Nazi regime and grew up during the rule of Chancellor Adenauer and others has passed on?
The German ambassador is aware of the unique position in which Israelis find themselves, in having to deal with a threat to their very existence. Germany and Dressler himself are allies of Israel. Consequently, his declaration that the international community must safeguard security for Israel is more than mere words in the case of Germany - but not in the case of Europe in general.
The Europeans are willing to recognize Israel's right to exist, but generally do not take the trouble to learn the details and intricacies of the conflict in the Middle East. They prefer not to dirty their hands in this quagmire - unlike the Americans. All they desire is peace and quiet in their own backyard. They make no demands of those who are responsible for the murderous terror; instead they expect Israel to show greater flexibility, and in doing so weaken their commitment to our right to a secure existence. Even if we take at face value Ambassador Dressler's declaration that the guarantee of Israel's existence is a German national interest, we cannot view this declaration as coming on behalf of all the members of the EU, whose positions in the international arena (including the International Court of Justice in The Hague) are quite different from those of Israel and the United States.
The United States' friendship with Israel is courageous and founded on shared interests, even in the post-Cold War era, and has proven itself countless times. Israel does not expect American soldiers to fight for it, as they did for Europe twice in the 20th century (in this context, it is difficult to ignore the ingratitude of most of Europe toward the Americans during the Gulf War). The ambassador calls upon Israel to "free itself from the United States," as if the Americans automatically agree with all of Israel's positions. Sadly, we must contend and compromise with the Americans too. Further flexibility on the part of Israel regarding European positions could lead to a dangerous erosion in its security.
There is no contradiction between continuing Israel's special relationship with the United States and bolstering its ties with the EU. On the contrary, this is a proper and desirable process. Israel has natural ties with Europe due to its geographical proximity and the fact that so many Israelis are of European extraction. Many Israelis speak European languages and closely follow political and social developments in Europe. Israel's commercial and economic ties with Europe are continually growing stronger; Israel has widespread scientific connections with European countries and it participates successfully in EU research programs. Tourist, cultural and sports relations have also become stronger in recent years.
Despite all this, it should come as no surprise to the Europeans if at this stage we prefer to rely mainly on our friendship with our greatest ally. When the change in their positions comes, our partnership with Europe will become stronger on its own.

"Matlock Bath ~ Pride & Prejudice country!" Top 5 Page for this destination Matlock by Jenniflower
Matlock Travel Guide: 48 reviews and 313 photos
Well, what can I say about this breath of fresh air? Derbyshire has to be the prettiest English county we have seen thus far... we have seen quite a few, and have many more to go, and this claims top spot!
Matlock Bath is quaint and picturesque. It lies in a gorge, running alongside the river. There are all kinds of shops and tea rooms and pubs... some are a tad commercialised (but in a small way), and others are old fashioned. All in all, we had a variety of things to do here, like going up Abraham Heights (cable car), going down a lead mine (with EIGHTY TWO bally steps to get out! *huff and a puff*), going for lovely walks, taking plenty of pics. Seeing grand homes like Chatsworth House and once-grand Haddon Hall.
An ideal getaway.
Chatsworth House is where the Matthew MacFadden and Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice was filmed. It was Darcy's 'Pemberly'. it stands on huge grounds (over 35,000 acres of it.. which encompasses a few villages!) and is itself very grand, yet homely and warm inside. We have seen many castles, 'houses', mansions and palaces since we have lived in the UK, and this is for us, the best.
This photo is of the Painted Hall, rather grand is it not? Feels even better when you are standing their yourself ;)
Here you are in the country, with village charm. On the Chatsworth Estate there is a lovely Farmyard where they have a variety of farm animals for the kids (and us!). We were there in lambing season, and it was such a joy watching these gorgeous little balls of fluff dancing over the shire.
- Pros:Character, history, grandeur and humility...
- Cons:A little far for London for a weekend away
- In a nutshell:More than I had anticipated. I want to go back!!!

Great page. Had a lovely day out here last weekend - managing to avoid getting wet in Matlock! Sounds like you had a good visit. Gillybob greetings
What a lovely page. So much to see and do, and nice to be able to take photo's inside a historic house. No wonder Chatsworth is your favorite!
This really is a lovely setting alongside the water edge, and so much culture. Great presentation
This is a great page, I remember walking on the high street and it reminded me of seaside prom with the arcades and chippys, don't remember that in Jane Austen. Hope you had a good BDay, David
Lovely place! Nice pics!
I can't believe this is the first time I'm visiting this page what a stunner - well done!
That sculpture is just fantastic. Waiting for info ;-)
Wonderful photographs and tips. Sorry, my internet died, so I tried to come back to your lovely page!
Very interesting tourist destination for nature lovers! The Countryside Center, the Cavern, Jubilee Bridge and Height of Abraham certainly look amazing! ~ho & pang
Yikes, the lead mine is not for claustrophobics --- but I would enjoy that cable car ride! I'd love to see Chatsworth where Pride and Prejudice was set...Norman :)

activity. The second is to model and influence the creation of professional character so that the exercise of discretion and judgment will be done in ways that are decent and responsible. This latter belongs clearly to the field of ethics. These two objectives or projects are not necessarily incompatible, but require such different attitudes that they cannot be effectively taught together in a single course.
[in considering] our apparent policy regarding mutual aid. If, as seems to be the case, we are prepared to allow a person to fail to save another when doing so would involve a moderately heavy sacrifice, why not allow him to do the same for the sake of a much greater benefit, to be gained from that person's death? The answer seems to be that, while a principle of mutual aid giving less consideration to the donor's sacrifice strikes us as too demanding, it is not nearly as threatening as a policy allowing one to consider the benefits to be gained from a person's death.

HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania State Police revamped its drug law enforcement operations to tackle multifaceted problems involving a heroin epidemic, illegal use of prescription drugs and proliferation of meth labs, Commissioner Frank Noonan told lawmakers Tuesday.
State police are focused on dismantling large drug trafficking organizations and obstructing drug transport routes in Northeast Pennsylvania and across the state.
Recent drug seizures in Northeast Pennsylvania include six kilograms of heroin seized during a Dec. 19 traffic stop in Tobyhanna; 1,343 packets of heroin seized during an Oct. 24 traffic stop in Hazle Twp.; 206 packets of heroin seized during a Dec. 8 traffic stop in Hazleton; and 2,102 packets of heroin seized Oct. 18 with use of a search warrant in Wilkes-Barre, state police reported.
Drug Strike Force units have been established in six regions to nab traffickers using electronic interceptions. Specially trained troopers are being deployed at strategic locations, including interstates, to seize drugs in transport.
Undercover units have intercepted drugs being shipped through commercial rail, buses and airports. These units seized two privately owned airplanes delivering hundreds of pounds of marijuana.
A Clandestine Lab Response Team handles cleanup operations involving illegal drug labs.
Heroin trafficking has increased to meet greater consumer demand as prices dropped during the past half-dozen years, said Mr. Noonan. Prescription drug use is a gateway to heroin.
"It (heroin trafficking) continues to be a real plague for this state and the country," he said.
Rep. Karen Boback, R-117, Harveys Lake, asked about the increasing reports of meth labs in rural parts of Luzerne County.
State police have seen a spike in meth labs in Luzerne, Monroe and Pike counties, said Mr. Noonan.
State police have also responded to requests for help from police officials in Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton, he said.

Hi, I have a Windows XP desktop. Am using this since past 1 year and never had any problem. But since 10 days suddenly my boot time increased, desktop started freezing, applications respond very slow, even task manager freezes while launching. Thats not all. When I try to print anything from this system, the print job freezes for about 2 minutes and then suddenly I see a message saying deleting instead of Spooling. I dont know what happened to it.
First I thought it could be due to virus hence I ran deep scan with Norton antivirus installed on my system. I also tried scanning with few online scanners but none of them found anything suspicious. I also tried updating entire system drivers but the same result yet.
While troubleshooting today morning I reached to Event Viewer and found the following error message listed: "The device harddisk has a bad block". I have no idea what does it means? Can anyone of you please provide some help? Many Thanks.

Food and Dining Briefs for Sept. 30
Luxury nightclub now open in Carmel Valley: The Grand Del Mar Resort has transformed its Clubhouse Grill restaurant into Club M, an upscale locale that's restaurant by day and sports lounge/nightclub with live entertainment by night. The grill's front dining room is still serving breakfast and lunch daily, but its bar and back patio area have been transformed into a nightspot managed by James Cassady. The new 2,180-square-foot space, which opened last week, has been redesigned by architect Graham Downes and includes a 110-seat lounge with four 85-inch flat-screen TVs, a stage with live entertainment Thursdays-Saturday nights and an outdoor patio that overlooks the golf course. Thomas J. Voss, the resort's president, said the resort needed a new meeting space with indoor and outdoor seating, and the space has already been booked for birthdays and corporate parties through the end of the year. Chef Ernie Lopez has created a Club M tapas menu (two for $16, three for $23 or four for $29) with dishes like Bacon Fries, Duck Confit Flatbread, Wild Mushroom Ravioli and Beef Slider Trio, and there's a menu of 25 signature hand-mixed cocktails. Club hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Sundays-Wednesdays and 4 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Thursdays-Saturdays at 5200 Grand Del Mar Way. Club M has no cover charge except when special concert acts are booked (Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Steve Tyrell will perform Thursday through Saturday and Oct. 21-23; tickets are $75). Valet parking is $5. Call 858-314-2700.
Brandt Beef at James Beard House: Brandt Beef (managing partner Eric Brandt lives in North County) will be the featured item at the prestigious James Beard House in New York on Thursday for a nose-to-tail dinner with the chef of Boston's Grill 23 & Bar. The menu includes smoked tongue, torched short rib, grilled cube steak, beef heart rillettes and more (much more, as those make up the appetizers). Go to www.brandtbeef.com.
La Focaccia opens: La Focaccia Gourmet Pizzeria has opened on University Avenue in Hillcrest, serving brick-oven pizzas, garden-fresh salads, gourmet sandwiches, paninis and pastas. Items from executive chef Alberto Morreale include baked ziti, roasted free-range chicken cannelloni, prosciutto pizza with pomodoro (tomato) sauce, Italian fennel sausage panini and more. Go to www.lafocacciasd.com or call 619-298-2010.
Chefs help one of their own: Solana Beach's Pamplemousse Grille and seven local chefs will host a five-course dinner at 6:15 p.m. Nov. 8 to raise money for the medical treatment of Timothy Gutmann, executive chef of Poseidon Restaurant in Del Mar. Gutmann is battling T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma and has Crohn's disease, and an upcoming stem cell transplant will sideline him for 3 to 4 months. Pamplemousse owner/chef Jeffrey Strauss will join chefs Jim Phillips (The Chef Celebration Foundation), Tommy DiMella (Del Mar Country Club), Alex Carballo (Stone Brewing Co.), Matt Moyer (La Jolla Country Club), Mourad Jamal (Poseidon) and pastry chef Stefan Vukotich (Chef Celebration Foundation) in the all-inclusive, $150 dinner (with accompanying wines and beer). The event begins with a one-hour reception and silent auction with dinner at 7:15 p.m. To register or donate to the cause, e-mail email@example.com.
Flippin' Pizza raises money for skate park: During October, Flippin' Pizza outlets will raise money for the Tony Hawk Foundation's efforts to build a skate park in Carlsbad. A percentage of sales at stores in Encinitas, La Costa, Vista and Carlsbad will go toward the program, and diners can enter drawings for free prizes. Visit flippinpizza.com.
Hacienda de Vega upgrades website: The Escondido restaurant at 2608 S. Escondido Blvd. has redesigned its website (haciendadevega.com) so diners can now make online reservations, read the chef's blog, peruse a gallery of food and restaurant images and videos, learn about special events, and sign up for social media connections.

text: Both of these amazing cats were fosters originally. Paulina entered the shelter at 5 weeks old. She was underweight and needed some good loving care. She is now 7 months and I completely fell in love with her. Paulina, also nicknamed Leena, is an absolute lap cat and loves to cuddle and give kisses. She is the sweetest little thing! Anaranjado, which is just "orange" in spanish and a very fun word to say, is a crazy cat. She came into the shelter as a stray. I took her home to foster because she was very skinny. Now she is 1 year and has a VERY hardy appetite. Anaran has 10 additional toes, three extra on each front paw and two extra on each back. Paulina is the Calico on the left and Anaranjado is the red tabby on the right.

Wow. bet that put her in the spotlight at the office. All eyes on her to see any bulges...:scruntiny:
I expected that.
Well, I hope that lady's lawyer has the gumption to take this into Federal court; this could be a decision that has the potential of a SCOTUS case. I just hope her Husband doesn't decide to show up at school one day now that he knows she is disarmed.....
At the local level (Jackson County, where Medford is located), I did as well. But that just means local fears have yielded to stupidity for the time being, via the judge's chair.
As if the plaintiff's personal security is an irrelevancy. Simply, she (Katz) is seeking to carry on campus not for anyone's safety but her own. Her personal safety most definitely would be enhanced.Quote:
"Allowing staff to carry weapons into school buildings wouldn't enhance safety, it would only make it worse," Gerking said. "We'd have a completely new risk of accidental injuries as a result of these weapons."
Oregon state law specifically disallows any public entity except the state legislature from denying its citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Law, ordinance, edict, policy, writ, posted sign, disapproval, retaliatory action because of one's refusal to be indimidated ... doesn't matter. The school district is a publicly funded state entity, not a private business. It may not legally disallow the carry of firearms by upstanding adults licensed to carry. The law is clear, and it is that simple. This judge was in the bag, sadly.
This is just the first volley, at the county circuit court level. Can't imagine Katz stopping until this mess is judged by the Oregon Supreme Court. Ditto on the suggestion that it's sufficient material for a federal lawsuit, to attack the unjust nature of such restrictions at the national level. Wouldn't it be nice, if this could be one of the cards that toppled the whole house of horse manure that's piled on the 2A? Yup.
She should persue a teaching position in Utah, she would be 'good to go'...
On that issue...the smartest state in the union.:yup:
At the risk of looking like an ass (probably not the first time), Fox has no right to that article...it's an AP article that they chose to reprint.
I always love it when news articles/story's like this point out the fact that the ex/accused has denied the allegations.........like anyone expects otherwise.
Tells the "X" that the school is a gun free victim rich zone & that she is a "easy victim" at school.
Even so I am not surprised she lost.:hand1:
Well I saw this coming, just another judge that found a way to not make a real decision, pass it off to the next one.:buttkick:
While I'm not surprised and this changes the subject a little. She's a brave woman to come forward and tag herself as someone that carries. This does make her less secure now her ex knows she's unarmed at school. Not to mention the scorn she's probably gotten from parents and other teachers.
She's definately someone to respect.
Might consider hiring an off duty police officer to stand guard. Probably would not take long for the school district to change their minds with a uniformed armed officer standing with arms folded in the class room.
Second, it always concerns me when we go to the courts. Chances of loosing ground are at best even in that arena. Id rather go with the vote and public pressure for change.

No hookups, so dry camped with RV. Some of the premium sites aren't as good as the regular sites. I would recommend driving around if they have open availability. Was given site #1 as a premium site, ended up moving to site #18 as a regular site which was much bigger and more private than #1. Park staff are very friendly and helpful. Bathhouse was clean. Very hilly terrain for hiking trails. I'll be back. It's a well maintained state park. - A Chevalier

With the return of three prominent players from last year's 21-5 squad, experience is a strength for the Franklin College women's basketball team.
But so is youth.
Six of the Grizzlies' 12 players are freshmen, and two will start in tonight's season-opener against visiting Denison.
Second-year coach Jennifer Temple can't wait to see what they can do.
"They don't play like freshmen, so that's kind of a strength for us, because no one knows really anything about them right now, which is exciting for us going into a game," Temple said. "I know how the upperclassmen will react in a first-game scenario, but you want to see how your freshmen will do and how they're going to react to the game."
Projected to finish second in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference in a preseason vote of league coaches, the Grizzlies — who were runners-up last season — will lean on veteran players in their bid for the HCAC title.
Leading the way are junior center Lindsay Dall, senior guard Krista Schott and junior forward Nichole Thompson. Dall averaged 9.5 points per game last season, and Schott averaged 8.6 points and dished out a team-high 89 assists.
Thompson, a Greenwood graduate, averaged 8.1 points last season in a reserve role.
But she will be in the starting lineup tonight, along with Dall and Schott, and freshman guards Mandy Fisher (Mooresville) and Lauren DeSutter (Tri-West).
Fisher was an honorable mention All-State selection last year and was part of four sectional championship teams at Mooresville. DeSutter broke nine school records at Tri-West and averaged 22.3 points per game her senior year.
Besides those players, the Grizzlies expect major contributions from sophomore forward Katie Brewer, a Butler transfer who is nursing an injury. When healthy, she is expected to start in certain match-up situations.
"Our strengths will be a combination of things," Temple said. "I think our defense is very good. I think we can be really big and tall if I want to put a big lineup out there. So I think we're going to be a tough match-up.
"A lot of teams tried to take away our inside game last year, which is just as strong this year, but now we have outside shooters, so they're going go have to guard us outside, as well.
"So I think we have more strengths."
As a result, Temple is confident the Grizzlies — who were 15-3 in league play last year — have everything they need to challenge for the HCAC Tournament title and automatic NCAA Division III Tournament bid that comes with it.
"We are definitely a contender for conference champs," Temple said. "We want to host the tournament. That's one of our big goals this year, so hopefully we'll be able to achieve that."

Cheese, Bacon, and Rice are all things that my husband loves. However, putting them all together in this recipe is gross. Maybe if you add some type of cream soup to it it would be better. I love most of the recipes on this site, but this was the only one that we literally threw in the garbage.
This dish was very tasty! I cooked it for my family yet they where not too enthused. I really liked it and would most likely make a small side dish for myself.
I took this recipe to a cookout. I made the rice ahead and had my husband add the remaining ingredients (since I was at work), then heated it up. It was a definite hit. Next time I think I will use velveta cheese since the regular shredded cheese seemed like it made it a little dry.

First Round: Justin Pugh, G/T, Syracuse
Second Round: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
The Giants already did some work to the interior of their line this offseason, but they just couldn't pass up on Hankins. Hankins was considered a top 10 prospect at one point, but saw his stock steadily decline throughout the pre-draft process. I think Hankins has become very underrated and has the ability to be a star in the NFL. Great pick.
Third Round: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
New York wisely adds another falling prospect. Like Hankins, Moore was once considered a top 10 prospect. Moore's stock fell dramatically after a poor combine and some character concerns. However, Moore produced as good as anyone in college football and also has the ability to be a star in the NFL if he can get his priorities straightened out. Another great pick.
Fourth Round: Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse
The Giants are on a roll. Everyone thought Nassib would go in the first or early second round, but fell all the way to day three. New York had to move up a bit to get him, but I still like the move. The Giants finally have a legitimate backup Quarterback now. Eli Manning can't maintain perfect health forever. The only reason this isn't getting an A or A+ is because they had bigger needs to address.
Fifth Round: Cooper Taylor, S, Richmond
With Phillips gone, some safety depth had to be added, though cornerback is a much more pressing need in the secondary. This is about where Taylor should go though.
Seventh Round: Eric Herman, G, Ohio / Michael Cox, UMASS Amherst
Good guard depth in Herman and, as a UMASS student, I'm obligated to love the Cox selection
Aside from the first round selection which I still hate, you can't argue much with any of Reese's picks for the Giants this year. They had one of the best second days out of any team, and continued to find decent value in day three. My only problem is that they didn't take I single linebacker. I honestly have no idea what they are planning to do at that position. It is going to be a huge need in next years' draft. Had they taken a guy like Ogletree in round one, this draft would have deserved an A.

When someone tries to interview you, you try to interview them right back
– With apologies to Malcolm Reynolds
A question came up on the SysAdmin subreddit asking how someone could be sure that the company was actually presenting itself accurately.
I think that needs to be a concern for anyone interviewing for a new job. How do you know the company isn't lying to make itself look better?
Turn the question around, and it becomes clearer. How does the company know that you are as good as you say? It's hard to tell, so you have to investigate, examine the evidence, and make a decision. That's why good interviews aren't half hour affairs.
So if you want to find out more, you need to interview them right back.
Tom Limoncelli wrote the great Limoncelli Test as a list of things that you, the interviewed, need to know about how your potential new company treats IT.
What it's important to really grasp is that you aren't a passive part of the interview process. You don't exist to sit there and give satisfactory answers. You need to be vetting them, too. Don't just ask them if they use configuration management…ask to talk to a person who uses it every day. Ask what's wrong with their infrastructure – ask what they're unhappy about.
Everyone has skeletons in their server closet. The difference is that a good company wants to get rid of them, and a bad company wants to pretend they don't exist.
Don't convince yourself that you don't have a choice. Don't think, "because this economy sucks, I have to take table scraps and work for an awful company", because you don't. If you are a professional (and you should be, or at least should want to be), then don't take unprofessional jobs. This is about sticking up for yourself and making sure that you work in the type of environment that's important to you.
Vetting your potential employers is important for your career and for your own mental health. Don't shrug it off and go with the first company that offers you a job. You're worth more than throwing away your future.
edit: I've been asked three times now if this was in response to my current job. Most certainly not. My job rocks. Not to say that there isn't a TON of things I want to fix, but because they explained what was broken during the interview, and asked me how I'd fix it

Project Status Report Template is needed by anyone. A project status report is used to capture the progress of an ongoing project. It reveals the portion of work that is completed of the total project and aids in billing the customer. Companies which handle multiple projects simultaneously prepare project status reports for each individual project separately. Project status reports will disclose the leadership team of the project, its estimated duration, its budgeted expenses, and milestones achieved etc. Project status reports enable a company to forecast its immediate cash outlay requirements to achieve the next level of project completion. It also helps in monitoring what work has been completed since the previous project status report until the preparation of the current status report. Project Status Report Template will be useful for you.
Project status report is an integral project management tool generally used to demonstrate progress of an ongoing project and current status as well. Project status report is a professional way to let higher authorities and clients know about necessary details of a project like work accomplished till now, materials and labor used during the period, problems encountered while working, estimated duration to complete pending work and other details. Writing a project status report for first time can be challenging but you can minimize the amount of efforts and time it takes to write an effective project status report just by using a well made project status report. Internet is a well known platform where you can easily find and download suitable project status report template. After that you will be able to modify project status report as per requirements to make it perfect for later use. Remember to use free project status report template instead of paid. We do hope that you will like this Project Status Report Template.
A comparison of successive project status reports will enable a project manager to find lags in project development and to take suitable actions to bring the project to an active stage. A project status report shall also contain the issues and other hindrances faced by a project manager during the course of the project development. Matters which require the immediate attention of the management should be reported separately so as to ensure that both the reports get their deserved attention and that the project status report remains uncluttered and easy comprehendible to the readers. You can download this Project Status Report Template.

I just received this ring and it truly is gorgeous! The color and clarity of the diamonds is as stated, if not better; they are incredibly brilliant and look amazing with my engagement ring, as well as on it's own! The appraisal on the ring came in well in excess of double what I paid for it here on O. I love that the diamonds don't go all the way round because the ring will stand the test of time so much better than an eternity band. I know that eternity bands are all the rage, but having had other wedding bands that were eternity bands I have found they are just not practical for everyday life. They take a beating on the palm side of your finger and stones fall out and then you just end up needing to replace them. With this ring the diamonds go just far enough to cover the front of the finger without going in between, which is great too because with diamonds this size it would be bulky and uncomfortable in between the fingers. Also, another benefit of not being an eternity band is that this ring can be sized later one (down or up) if necessary which is IMPOSSIBLE with an eternity band. My other eternity bands are sitting in the jewelry box unworn for some time now because of these issues. This gorgeous new ring is my new everyday wedding band.
Bought this as a wedding band to match ash engagement ring. The brilliance is exceptional.

First for manga?
Well, nothing much happened... It seems the vizards are still in the human world and doing well. Some of them at least.
Ichigo's group is back together and killing hollow's and stuff like its everyday work. This I like.
It seems once more Ichigo has a passed out shinigami in his room. He seems a bit skittish. I sense a predictable character development coming up... Those two do not seem all that strong. :/
An arrancar? Named Ivan? lol. No comment. xD
Not sure were this is going, but I predict a proposition and a plot involving the missing people. Of course such would not be complete without the eventual betrayal.
Btw, did you guys hear about Mangastream? They were forced to give up Naruto/Bleach/KHR/etc.

What should I be doing instead of this?

Sens. Paul and Boxer Team Up on Transportation
Bipartisan proposal would use tax cut to lure corporate bucks back home for highway fund
It sounds a little like an episode of a zany sitcom: a tea partying conservative from Kentucky and a classic California liberal team up to clean up some roads. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced Jan. 29 that he and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., would introduce a bill seeking to shore up the nation's federal Highway Trust Fund. The announcement comes as fights over what to do about the nation's looming infrastructure needs hit close to home. The federal fund that helps pay for highway, bridge and transit projects could face insolvency this year if Congress doesn't find new sources of money for infrastructure. In Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, local and state officials are currently wrangling over the $2.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge replacement project. The bridge is more than 50 years old and carries 160,000 cars a day — four times more than it was designed to hold. Cincinnati's 83-year-old Western Hills Viaduct will also need to be replaced in the next decade at a cost of $240 million. Studies by engineers have found that both bridges are structurally obsolete, though not immediately unsafe. Federal funds could go a long way toward making those projects reality. "I am pleased to be working with Senator Boxer on a bipartisan solution to a tax and highway spending problem," Paul said in a statement. "The interstate highway system is of vital importance to our economy. All across the country, bridges and roads are deficient and in need of replacement."Paul and Boxer's bill proposes what is, in effect, a corporate tax cut: lowering the U.S. repatriation rate, or tax rate for foreign earnings, in order to incentivize U.S. companies to bring money back into the U.S. economy from foreign tax shelters. The proposed law would allow companies to voluntarily repatriate some of the estimated $2 trillion in off-shore corporate profits at a discounted tax rate of 6.5 percent. The program would require companies use that repatriated money to help build the economy. The money must be used for hiring or research and development, for instance, instead of executive raises. Taxes from the repatriated funds would go into the federal Highway Trust Fund for roads, bridges and other transit projects.Paul did not mention regional projects like the Brent Spence Bridge specifically in statements about the proposal, though he has been active in the past in working to secure funding for replacing the bridge. It's unclear if and when such projects would see a benefit from the bill, or exactly how much money it would raise should it pass into law.A U.S. Chamber of Commerce study conducted on a similar proposal in 2013 found that the move could boost America's economy by more than $400 billion, according to a white paper released by the senators. President Barack Obama put a similar plan in his budget proposal, which he unveiled Feb. 2. There are other proposals for shoring up infrastructure funds, both on the national level and here in the Tristate. Some in Congress have called for raising the gas tax, which currently helps pay for federal road and bridge maintenance. The rate hasn't been raised since the early 1990s. But congressional Republicans, led by House Speaker John Boehner, have signaled they won't support an increase.On the state level, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear have drafted their own plans for replacing the Brent Spence Bridge here. The two say the project can't wait much longer — they cite an estimate by engineers saying that the project gets $7 million more expensive every month — and that the federal government won't come to the rescue any time soon. Their proposal involves a public-private partnership that would necessitate tolls, however, something that has caused bipartisan consternation in Northern Kentucky. Many officials there are dead set against tolls, which they say will hurt workers and businesses. That's tipped Northern Kentucky United, an anti-toll group, toward Paul's idea."There are details yet to be worked out, but the similarities between what the President has suggested and the bipartisan proposal out of the Senate gives us good reason to be optimistic," said Marisa McNee of Northern Kentucky United. "There is simply no reason to continue a rush to toll the Brent Spence Bridge when the White House and Congress appear to be moving towards an agreement on the Highway Trust Fund."Kasich, on the other hand, likened counting on funds from the federal government to waiting on the tooth fairy in a news conference last week on his proposal. Paul and Boxer are a surprising team. Paul, a tea party favorite and potential candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, usually takes highly conservative, libertarian stances on policy and spending matters. Boxer, on the other hand, is one of the chamber's most liberal members. In her 32-year career in Congress, first as a representative and then as a senator, she fought for tighter gun control, more environmental protection measures and pro-choice causes. Boxer, who is 74, announced last month that she will not seek re-election. "I hope this proposal will jumpstart negotiations on addressing the shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund, which is already creating uncertainty that is bad for businesses, bad for workers and bad for the economy," Boxer said in a statement about the bill. "I will also be working … on other proposals to pay for rebuilding our nation's aging transportation infrastructure."

For many Cincinnatians, the scariest part of going across the Western Hills Viaduct is not knowing which lane you should be in as you wrap around that McDonald's that greets you on the West Side — one wrong turn and you could be headed down State Street and wondering both what year it is and if parts of Gummo were filmed there.

Advocates: Include Rail Options in Next Western Hills Viaduct

Advocates in the West Side are calling for consideration of future transit options including possible light rail or street car routes as planning for the aging Western Hills Viaduct moves forward.

Will the Streetcar Go West Someday?
Advocates push for expanded transit options in Western Hills Viaduct replacement plan
Picture yourself hopping on a streetcar in Price Hill or Westwood and cruising downtown for lunch. It probably won't happen anytime soon. But a group of West Side residents was determined to put just that image in the heads of city council's transportation committee as it met yesterday to consider what will be done with the city's aging Western Hills Viaduct. About 25 people showed up to the meeting to advocate for expanded transit options as planning for the bridge goes forward."It's about the future of our city and connecting one another," said John Eby, a resident of Westwood, during Wednesday's meeting. "Think of this as the economic development tool that will help connect Price Hill and Westwood to downtown."Even without the added transit considerations, the project is daunting. The half-mile long bridge is 82 years old and was last rehabbed in 1977. So it's getting a little crumbly. Though it's structurally sound for now, engineers say it will need to be completely rehabbed or replaced in the next 10 years. A study released last week found the bridge's condition to be among of the worst in the state. The viaduct is owned by Hamilton County, which pays Cincinnati to do upkeep.City engineers are leaning toward replacement, though that's going to be expensive. Estimated costs come in around $240 million for a new bridge, which would have two decks and be placed just south of the current one. So far, the city's dedicated less than $6 million for the project. But this moment, as the city mulls what to do about the bridge, is the perfect time to look at new transit options, advocates say.Adding dedicated lanes for light rail would cost $24 million a lane, engineers estimate. But designing the bridge with extra structural integrity for streetcar rails, which don't require extra lanes, could be a cheaper option, said city engineer Richard Szekeresh.It wouldn't be the first time a streetcar has made the trip over the Mill Creek and train yards spanned by the viaduct. In the 1950s, streetcars ran along the bridge's lower deck.But don't start making plans to get out of downtown and hit up your favorite Westside chili parlor for lunch just yet. City officials say they're in the opening stages of the project. Engineers hope to have designs drawn up by the end of the year, but it will be six to eight years before construction starts, according to city transportation manager Michael Moore. Before that is the long road to secure state funding and make sure the necessary local funds are in place. Advocates say the project may be the last chance to leave the door open for future transit options like light rail or the streetcar. A new Eighth Street viaduct was just completed, and crews are wrapping up work on the Sixth Street bridge as well. Neither will carry rail into the West Side, which is home to about 20 percent of the city.

NEW YORK (AP) — Katy Now led all the way Wednesday, beating Ask the Moon by a half length in the $55,860 feature for fillies and mares at Belmont Park.
A 4-year-old trained by Todd Pletcher, Katy Now improved to 4 for 10. John Velazquez was aboard as the winner ran the one mile in 1:34.85 on the fast track.
Katy Now paid $8.20, $4.10 and $2.40. Ask the Moon returned $5.70 and $2.60 while Arena Elvira, $2.10, got third as the 1-2 favorite.
