I want to save a set of key, value pairs (string, int) between runs of a Python program, reload them on subsequent runs and write the changes to be available on the next run.
I don't think of this data as a configuration file, but it would fit the ConfigParser capabilities quite well. I would only need two [sections]. It's only a few hundred pairs and very simple so I don't think it's necessary to do an actual database.
Is it appropriate to use ConfigParser in this way? I've also considered using Perl and XML::Simple. What about that? Is there a way to do this in bash without Python or Perl?

This year's 2011 Gold Britannia coin features a new reverse design depicting a seated version of Britannia with a billowing Union Jack cleverly superimposed in front of her. At the heart of the billowing Union Flag, Britannia appears seated with a trident and shield, in the style of the classic image on pre-decimal pennies since Charles II. The design is the work of David Mach and represents a very patriotic approach to the bullion coin's reflection of British culture.

OSU notebook: Mike Yurcich welcomes input from Mike Gundy
Following Oklahoma State's narrow win over Kansas State, where the Cowboy offense did not pick up a first down in the second half before rallying late with a game-winning touchdown drive, coach Mike Gundy said this:
"All five or six of us that are in communication came up with some plays, and the choice was poor. We have to keep the football, and we'll get that cleaned up as an offensive staff — that's me included."
Read into that what you wish. One of the things Gundy prides himself on as a head coach — and something his assistants say they like about their boss — is that he doesn't hover or micromanage.
But as a former offensive coordinator, Gundy is obviously a valuable resource for new OC Mike Yurcich.
And Yurcich welcomes the input.
"It's very helpful," Yurcich said. "We communicate real well. There's clear communication in our room and (Gundy) has things that he wants in (the game plan) and those sorts of things. As the new guy coming in, it's been a great experience. All the guys give input. We're all in this together."
Yurcich classifies the recent offensive staff meetings as "productive," as the Cowboys attempt to make corrections and prepare for a vaunted TCU defense.
"We strip it down and Sunday becomes 'OK, let's start over again,'" Yurcich said " … You talk about the certain situations throughout the week that you're gonna face, whether it's score zone, red zone, coming out of your end zone, what's your four-minute plan, what's your two-minute plan, all those sorts of things.
"We know who we are. We know this offense very well."
A mobile quarterback like TCU's Trevone Boykin means members of the OSU front seven — a defensive end or linebacker, usually — will be responsible to "contain" Boykin, or keep him from breaking a big run to the outside.
What about the defensive backs? Their job, especially when playing man coverage, doesn't change: Stay with the receiver.
"When I see a defensive back break out of coverage to tackle the quarterback, I always wonder how he was able to see the quarterback break contain while paying attention to his man," cornerbacks coach Van Malone said. "We always have someone responsible for the quarterback.
"When the defensive back is sure the quarterback is crossing the line of scrimmage, then go get him."
When an offense struggles like TCU's has, outsiders often clamor for a change at quarterback.
But Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson is not about to pull the plug on Boykin and switch to redshirt freshman Tyler Matthews.
"You don't put people in situations they're not ready for," Patterson said. "Everybody has answers. The key is when he goes in he needs to play well because if not, you can break a kid's confidence when they're a freshman and you never get it back.
"You've got to understand there's a maturity factor, and there's a lot more at risk any time you put a freshman or redshirt freshman in a ballgame. If bad things happen to him you can ruin them for four years."
TCU's starter, Casey Pachall, is still nursing a broken arm.

I'm always nervous about over tightening my cranks, but I think I under-did it instead. yesterday my left crank arm started making a slight creak, and when i rode slowly, and applied pressure in both directions I coulf feel it move slightly. When I got home I tightened it up. It was way loose.
I rode it to work this morning, only a couple of blocks, and it was still creaking, so I walked home, got my allen wrench to tighten it down more.
Hopefully it's not wrecked, but I realize it probably is. the only thing I can think to do now is tighten the hell out of it, and hope it holds. My 8mm allen wrench is only 4" long, but when I put my weight to it (200lbs) I feel like I could push it too far, so the question is how far is too far, and how can I tell without a torque wrench?

HuskyLEADWhat is HuskyLEAD?
HuskyLEAD, a leadership development series for all Michigan Tech students, stands for Leadership Education Accelerating Development. At Michigan Tech, we believe that leadership development is extremely important and essential for all of our students to truly make an impact on campus and society. This program encourages everyone from campus leaders and student organization officers, either aspiring and experienced, to elevate their leadership skills by learning the best techniques, tips, and tricks for not only the success of their organization but also for the real world.What skills are built through participation in the HuskyLEAD Program?
Five different leadership competencies are stressed throughout the HuskyLEAD series. These competencies are:
- Self-Awareness: Part of strong leadership is learning about yourself – strengths, weaknesses, and personal values – and how to advance organizations and individuals using that self-knowledge.
- Teamwork: Cooperation and collaboration are important skills to learn as a leader. You will learn about how to use and navigate groups and teams to promote strong leadership.
- Communication: Leaders must understand the "how" and "why" behind communication in order to understand how others can best contribute, how to share information effectively with others, and how to send the desired message.
- Ethical Practices: The ethical practices of leaders are constantly challenged. Leaders must stay congruent with ethical principles and practices and the value of affecting others lives positively.
- Social Responsibility: As leaders, one of our goals is to understand our roles as members of multiple communities and how we can better the lives of those in those communities through direct and/or indirect involvement.

Espicom View : This is another step to expand market presence in China, one of the fastest growing in vitro diagnostic markets. In addition to partnerships entered into over the past year and the establishment of a subsidiary in China, the move should ensure the company a strong foothold to promote its product in the region. To focus the company's efforts in Asia is a shrewd move, as the diagnostic it is selling has bigger potential here than in developed countries.
Biohit has agreed to set up a joint venture company in China with Anhui Wisdom-Win Investment. The official name of the joint venture is Biohit Biotech (Hefei) Co, located in the city of Hefei in Anhui province, China. The objective of the partners in forming Biohit Biotech (Hefei) is to manufacture and sell GastroPanel kits to the Chinese market area. GastroPanel is a non-invasive blood test that reliably identifies both healthy and unhealthy stomachs, as well as helps to prioritise patients for further examinations.
Mr Liu Feng, the owner of Anhui Wisdom-Win Investment, who is also General Manager of Hefei Medicine, has invested ¥20 million (EUR 2.5 million) in Biohit Biotech (Hefei). Immaterial investments made by Biohit are worth approximately ¥13 million and include know-how expertise, as well as production technologies and related patents to the joint venture.
Anhui Wisdom-Win Investment will own 60 per cent of Biohit Biotech (Hefei) and Biohit will own 40 per cent of the joint venture. Mr Liu Zhen has been appointed CEO of Biohit Biotech (Hefei). The regulatory approvals are pending and are expected to be finalised during 2014. Biohit Biotech (Hefei) shall aspire to meet recognised international quality standards by the end of 2014. Foundation of the joint venture will create a deferred income worth around EUR 1 million, thus the recognition of revenue is postponed until the new company has been authorised to start operations in the Chinese market. The deferred income is recognised to cover the licence application process and the start-up phase.
Recently, Biohit has been focusing its resources on expansion in China. In May 2013, Biohit entered a distribution agreement with Hefei Medicine for GastroPanel. It also made an agreement with the Chinese subsidiary CanAg diagnostics of the Japanese company, fujirebio, to launch the sales and marketing of GastroPanel in China in 2012. During 2012, Biohit established a subsidiary in China in order to support efforts to build a local distribution channel. In September 2012, Biohit gained a methods patent related to GastroPanel in China. These moves will secure growth for the company's GastroPanel by establishing a foothold in the country and creating partnerships with companies that already have a strong presence in China.
China has a rapidly growing in vitro diagnostics market, as the country is spending on improving healthcare. The in vitro diagnostic market in China is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21 per cent in the period between 2010 and 2015, to around US$5 billion. Business Monitor International's Burden of Disease Database estimates that the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost to gastric cancer totalled 4,929,414 in 2012, this is expected to rise to 5,219,753 by 2017, a CAGR of 1.2 per cent over the five year period. Due to the increased incidence of H. pylori in developing countries compared with developed countries and its connection with gastric cancer, in addition to the market potential of China, Biohit is wise to concentrate on this region. With the company's increased presence in the country, Biohit should be able to increase its revenues for GastroPanel in the near-term.
GastroPanel, developed by Biohit, is a blood test for the diagnosis and screening of gastric disorders. GastroPanel test reliably detects H. pylori infection and damage or dysfunction of the stomach mucosa (atrophic gastritis), leading to an acid-free stomach, which is a risk factor for gastric cancer. Recent studies suggest that an acid-free stomach is also a risk factor for oesophageal cancer.

Cleanliness Rules Germaphobes' Lives (cont.)
What Causes the Compulsion to Wash?
OCD is believed to be caused by an abnormality in the brain's circuitry. Brain scans show brain activity is different in people with OCD. There's probably a genetic component as well, especially when OCD begins in childhood. One-third to one-half of adults with OCD say their illness started in childhood or adolescence.
Why someone with the disease is compelled to wash, as opposed to check or count or hoard, isn't known. What's true with all types of OCD is that a compulsion is acted out to relieve anxiety produced by an obsessive, intrusive thought. For example, a woman accidentally cuts herself, washes the wound, puts antibacterial ointment on it, and bandages it. That should be that, but an anxious feeling and thought intrude: what if microscopic germs remain? She knows it's irrational, but she's compelled to wash the cut again in order to relieve the anxiety. She may have to repeat the act over and over.
When Is Cleanliness a Problem?
Every office has its neat freak. Maybe it's the woman who cleans her cubicle every morning and keeps everything arranged just so. Is she just a perfectionist or is she driven by OCD? It can be hard to tell at first because OCD is a secretive illness, says Mary Guardino. She is the executive director of Freedom From Fear, the national mental illness advocacy organization she founded in Staten Island, N.Y., in 1984. "When you first meet her, you notice how nice and organized and clean everything is. But she may be hiding her rituals. If she heard a co-worker got the flu, she'd fear she might have touched something that person handled, so she'll sneak into the bathroom to wash."
Guardino says a clinician looks for these signs of OCD:
"People who have OCD really don't want to be that way," Guardino tells WebMD. On the other hand, people who have obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), which is less serious than OCD, pride themselves on being neat freaks. Felix Unger, of The Odd Couple, for example. "It didn't bother Felix that he ran around with a paper towel and Windex. It bothered Oscar. Also Felix probably didn't clean a surface over and over. He thought his behavior was appropriate because he needed to have things perfect. He didn't want to change."
Treatment With Medication and Therapy
The most effective treatment combines medication, usually one of several antidepressants, and a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called "response prevention" or "exposure and response therapy."

Over this past weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend TEDxBloomington, Bloomington's local chapter of TED Talks. If you've never heard of TED, or never been able to attend a talk in person – I most certainly HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of the opportunity if you can. They have thousands of videos available online for you to browse by topic, as well as their rating of funny, inspiring, beautiful and more.
For those of you unfamiliar with TED Talks, TED is an organization "devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks." TED, standing for Technology, Entertainment and Design, hosted its first conference in 1984 and has since evolved to include topics ranging from science, to sustainability, to global issues.
Fresh off a weekend of inspiration, I wanted to share five of my most favorite talks for marketers, listed in no particular order.
1. Renny Gleeson – 404, The story of a page not found
Nobody wants to see a 404 page staring back at them when trying to access something on the internet, but if the 404 page is designed just right, every error is just another chance to build a better relationship with your audience.
2. Amy Cuddy – Your body language shapes who you are
I am sure we're all aware of how our body language can make others perceive something about us, but what about ourselves? Does changing the way we sit or stand impact the way we view ourselves? Amy Cuddy walks through how standing in a "power pose" of confidence can affect our testosterone and cortisol levels in our brain.
3. Simon Sinek – How great leaders inspire action
Okay, I know this one is on almost every TED Talks list out there, but I thoroughly enjoy Simon's simple but powerful presentation. It's not about what you have to sell, it's all about why you sell it.
4. Elizabeth Gilbert – Your elusive creative genius
Author of Eat, Pray, Love took the stage to talk about learning the difference between being a genius and having a genius. Creativity can be accessible to all if we simply shift our perspective of genius. Do not concern yourself with the approval of others, but fearlessly pursue your authentic expression.
5. Dan Cobley – What physics taught me about marketing
With a passion for both physics and marketing, Cobley shows how the laws of physics resemble basic marketing concepts. Using the pragmatic application of scientific concepts in physics to developing a brand or business shows how marketing can be related to your fields of interest, allowing you to have a much more profound and personal connection with marketing.
Do you have any favorite marketing related TED Talks? Please share them in the comments below – it's always inspiring to spread those ideas!

Deservedly escaping the trip-hop kiss of death, London duo The Herbaliser churns out another impressive self produced album from the always eclectic Ninja Tune label (Coldcut, Kid Koala). Made up of DJ/producer Ollie Teeba and bassist/producer Jake Wherry, they represent hip-hop from a mix of soul, jazz and electronica.
Leading off the cuts featuring guest rhymers, What What of Natural Resource delivers two sure shot joints. "Mission Improbable" is a smooth tale of espionage told over a slow bassline and sharp, but gentle guitar strums. Equally laid back is "Let It Go", where piano drops help describe what this female MC does when a situation gets out of control. Speaking of dope female MCs, Illadelphian Bahamadia holds court on "When I Shine". And just when it seems these laid back joints are all that represent The Herbaliser, check for "Who's The Realest". This thumping cut is what a DJ track should be: head-nodding beats with precise and impressive scratching. The cuts are supplied by DJ Ollie Teeba, who flexes mightily on the wheels by asking "Who's The Realest" via Fat Joe's intimidating vocal samples.
Equally tight is "Road Of Many Signs" featuring the severely under-appreciated Dream Warriors, who get open over a lush vibe accented track with yet another slow, but funky Jake Wherry bassline. "Wall Crawling Giant Insect Breaks" is another standout jam giving sonic thanks to turntable pioneers and former pause tape masters everywhere. Coming to the record's close, "The Missing Suitcase" is an instrumental cut that could easily find its way into a Hollywood flick during moments of heated action. The tune suggests that a film score should be next on The Herbaliser's "to do" list.
Very Mercenary avoids trip-hop pitfalls by keeping it hype with a healthy helping of fat beats to go along with varied production styles. Dope MCs added to the mix result in these Londoners keeping it real–and realer than many

(noun) Rudeness or aggressive behavior derived from an obese person's assumption that their girth provides them with free license to get in your way, force you out of their way, or otherwise take advantage of your desire not to press up against their lard. Just because you take up more space does not entitle you to other people's space.

Time Warner 4Q earnings up, raises dividend 11 pct
NEW YORK Time Warner Inc. said Wednesday that net income grew 51 percent in the last three months of 2012 even as revenue was largely unchanged. Rising fees from cable and satellite companies and higher ad revenue at the TV networks offset revenue declines at the movie studio and magazine businesses.
The company also announced a dividend increase and a new plan to buy back shares. Its stock jumped to its highest level in more than a decade.
The television networks business drove the quarter's performance as revenue there grew 5 percent, offsetting declines elsewhere. The Warner Bros. studio business had a weaker release lineup in the most recent quarter, though it managed to report an operating profit with an emphasis on higher-profit TV production. The Time Inc. magazine business, the smallest of the three, has announced layoffs to reflect reduced demand for print editions.
During a call with analysts, Time Warner executives credited original programs for much of its successes. First-run shows such as a revamped "Dallas" contributed to ratings improvements at Turner cable channels, while series such as "Girls" and "Game of Thrones" helped HBO sign up more subscribers. TV shows produced by the Warner Bros. studio also are finding renewed life on Netflix and other Internet video services.
The TV shows also helped the Warner Bros. business generate its second-highest annual profit ever even without new Harry Potter movies. The final one came out in the summer of 2011.
Time Warner said net income was $1.17 billion, or $1.21 a share, for the fourth quarter of 2012, up from $773 million, or 76 cents a share, a year earlier.
Adjusted for one-time items, earnings came to $1.17 per share. That beat the $1.10 per share that analysts surveyed by FactSet expected.
Revenue edged down to $8.16 billion from $8.19 billion a year ago. Analysts expected revenue of $8.22 billion.
Time Warner also said Wednesday that it is raising its quarterly dividend by 11 percent to 28.75 cents per share. It's payable March 15 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 28. Time Warner said it marks the fourth consecutive year of dividend increases in the double-digit percentage.
The company also said its board has authorized $4 billion in stock buybacks, which tend to increase the stock price for remaining shareholders. The new authorization replaces prior buyback plans, which resulted in $3.5 billion in buybacks from Jan. 1, 2012, to Feb. 1, 2013.
Time Warner's stock increased $2.05, or 4 percent, to close at $52.01 Wednesday after rising as high as $52.72 earlier, its highest level since 2002.
Time Warner is estimating $60 million in charges this year related to an announced layoff of about 500 employees at the magazine business, or about 6 percent of the division's global staff of 8,000. The company has been trying to cut costs to reflect decreases in revenue and the need to invest in more ways to deliver content on multiple platforms and devices.
In the fourth quarter, revenue at Time Warner's TV business grew 5 percent to $3.7 billion.
That business has gotten stronger in recent years as U.S. cable and satellite operators have been paying more to carry channels such as TNT, TBS and CNN on their lineups. The company also had more U.S. subscribers for the HBO premium channels and saw growth internationally across the TV business, despite unfavorable currency-exchange rates. Revenue from those distributor and subscription fees rose 7 percent.
Ad revenue at the networks increased 3 percent because of better rates, more NBA games shown on Time Warner channels and increased viewership at CNN during the presidential election season. Licensing and other content revenue fell 9 percent mostly because of a shutdown of TNT operations in Turkey.


text: Christopher Harris Beason Murder Site Burned Down By Associated Press • Jul 4, 2014 Firefighters have burned down the home where five members of a central Illinois family were beaten to death in 2009. Ten members of the Beason Fire Department on Thursday set the small, white, one-story house where Rick and Ruth Gee and three of their children were killed ablaze. Beason is about 30 miles south of Bloomington. Beason fire Chief Jim Hubrich told The Pantagraph in Bloomington that the Gee family asked him for help demolishing the house. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency signed off on the plan. Christopher Harris Wants New Trial By Sean Crawford • Jul 8, 2013 Logan County A central Illinois man convicted in May of beating to death five members of his ex-wife's family in their home wants a new trial. Attorneys Daniel Fultz and Peter Naylor mailed a motion asking for a new trial for Christopher Harris last Friday. A spokeswoman for the Logan County Circuit Clerk's Office said Monday that it hasn't yet arrived. The attorneys argue Judge Scott Drazewski denied 34-year-old Harris a fair trial by refusing to let jurors visit the home in Beason where Rick and Ruth Gee and their children died in 2009.

Too much of a good thing can exist, such as when classes at schools are overfilled with students which can impact the academic environment and the quality of learning. Fortunately, the Turlock Unified School District keeps track of trends and is planning for an increase in student enrollment in upcoming years.
Gov. Jerry Brown took a more literal approach to his latest state funding initiative, the Local Control Funding Formula which places more spending authority in the hands of local districts, by paying local public education officials a visit last week.
As Turlock Unified School District prepares for its first year under the new Local Control Funding Formula, 17 temporarily contracted teachers will be released from their positions at schools across the District.
The central quad of Turlock Junior High School was crowded with the school's student body of over 1,300 on Monday, who were joined by local and state dignitaries during a morning ceremony celebrating the selection of the local junior high school as a California 2014 School to Watch.
The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So they sat in the classroom all that cold, cold, wet day.
The past year has been a tumultuous one for the Denair Unified School District, and although it has narrowly avoided a state takeover, the difficult decisions are not over as the District has officially voted to cut several positions.
It's time to "go green" but not because Saint Patrick's Day is fast approaching. Rather, it is the City of Turlock's annual Go Green Week, the City's primary environmental educational campaign.
Qualified locals looking to make an impression on college students through instruction may have the opportunity to do so at Modesto Junior College, which is hiring full time faculty to accommodate the additions of hundreds of new courses.
Thirty children will have the opportunity to attend a summer session of Camp Taylor, a camp for children with heart disease, thanks to the efforts of the Turlock Unified School District students who raised $27,400 through a coin drive.
Denair Academic Avenues charter school students were treated to an inspirational morning assembly on Friday as local Olympian Ali Cox spoke about her experience rowing in the 2004 Summer Olympics. A silver medalist in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, and a gold medal world champion among other accomplishments, Cox stressed the four key elements to her success to the students: setting goals, working hard, being a good teammate, as well as being focused and prepared. Cox chose four excited students to wear her memorabilia from the significant rowing years of her career, from her time at the University of San ...
First it was chalkboards, then it was white boards and now it is online message boards. The face of education is changing.
Money doesn't grow on trees, but it can be won with them.
High school students of the local chapters of the Future Farmers of America contribute year round to the agriculture industry in their community, but once a year there is a special time to highlight these students' efforts: National FFA week.
It all started with the flute for Martín Acosta and Rachel Hawkes, standout members of the Turlock High School Band.

Fraud at a Customer's Business Could Mean Litigation for the Bank. (Finding Fraud)
Butler, Steven I., The RMA Journal
Trust no one. Had the lender to a small printing company shared this "X-Files" advice, the bank would not have found itself accused of "oversight failure." Although the bank finally beat the rap, it was not without considerable time and expense as well as the loss of a good customer. With their higher level of experience, banks can and should help customers thwart fraud.
When a trusted employee at a bank's business customer goes bad," the consequences can be devastating not just for the employer but all too often for the bank as well. Because the employee has been so trusted, the fraud can go on for many years before detection, and the resulting losses can be huge. In addition, the employer may look upon the bank as partly responsible for the losses and allege a lack of internal audit controls and general vigilance. When this point has been reached, the customer may decide to seek compensation from the bank through litigation. A longstanding relationship between customer and bank has now collapsed, the bank's energies are redirected to defending itself, and a source of future business has been lost.
Not all fraud can be prevented but there are many ways the bank can help its customers reduce the risks. Bankers are often unaware how much customers look to them for assistance with their business beyond the merely financial relationship but are either too shy or too overconfident to ask. Unfortunately, bankers may not realize that customers really want them to understand their business. By failing to pick up on this often poorly expressed desire, bankers miss an opportunity to prevent fraud before it strikes. Bankers should take the time to visit their customers' places of business more often, ask questions, look for vulnerabiliries, and, most important of all, get to know the employees handling matters that affect the bank.
One of the most important things banks can do for their business customers is to urge them to check the backgrounds of all short-listed job applicants as well as those of people scheduled for internal promotion to positions of authority. This is particularly important when those positions involve responsibility for relations with the bank. Unfortunately, there is no profile of the potential employee-fraudster since so many frauds are crimes of opportunity perpetrated by people who appeared to be trustworthy up to the moment they committed the crime. Nevertheless, a check of credit records and educational documentation and a call to former employers are always worthwhile. It is not unknown for periods of "self-employment" to turn out to be periods in state prison!
There is always the risk that a trusted long-term employee may be having financial or other difficulties that could be driving him or her to consider fraud as a solution. Many people also have a dark side that can be aroused by greed and by envy of the lifestyles of the wealthy. They convince themselves their position of trust is a safeguard against any suspicion of dishonesty and therefore a cover for their thefts.
The trusted employee turned fraudster is a particularly difficult problem and, at the personal level, a heart-rending tragedy. People who are trusted by their employers are probably people also respected by their families and communities. A fall from this height caused by the discovery of a fraud will destroy a lifetime's reputation that can never be recovered.
How the Worm Got into the Apple
The following cautionary tale shows how a bank became entangled in litigation from a fraud committed by a customers trusted employee who had conflicting responsibilities, too little supervision, and a taste for luxury.
A husband and wife started a small printing business in the suburb of a large eastern city. The couple was very experienced in the printing business, understood the market, grew the business cautiously, and had an excellent relationship with their local bank. …

You guys may want to check your wish lists. I think B&N has started updating the pricing on the wishlists now. I was browsing thought for birthday gifts and came across this...it was marked free. Had it been free when I put it there...well, it wouldn't have gone in the wish list, now would it?! I also saw a few of the other books that I had put in there marked at 7.99 were now listed at 1.99 and I am certain that they weren't that low because again, they wouldn't have been put on the wish list otherwise.

Death Tidies Up (Charlotte LaRue Mysteries #2) [Kensington]
Between running her maid service (the successful Maid-for-a-Day) and fretting about her upcoming birthday (the dreaded 6-0), Charlotte LaRue doesn't have much time for gossip. But New Orleans's latest dust-up is hard to ignore--especially since it involves Marian Hebert, one of Charlotte's new clients. Turns out Marian's now-deceased husband once worked for his best friend Drew Bergeron's real-estate agency--and when the business deal soured, so did the friendship. The whole sordid affair came to an unfortunate end when Drew died in a plane crash--and Bill Hebert was killed in what some people insist on calling an accident. Others are convinced it was murder.
Pretty juicy stuff, right? Charlotte doesn't think so. She's trying her best to forget all the rumors--she has more important things to worry about these days. Like vacuuming, window-washing. . .and her new job at the old Devilier house. The gorgeous historic home is being transformed into luxury apartments, and Maid-for-a-Day is in charge of the cleanup. Should be easy enough, Charlotte thinks--until she finds a barely-cold corpse in one of the closets.
The police are sure the dead man is Drew Bergeron. Funny, considering Drew supposedly died years ago--and Charlotte distinctly remembers attending his funeral. Talk about messy. Suddenly all that gossip about the Heberts and Bergerons seems incredibly timely--and Charlotte wishes she'd listened just a little bit closer. . .
With old rivalries flaring--and past secrets suddenly back in the present--Charlotte has a feeling this job will involve some real dirty work. Good thing she has a knack for cleaning up crimes. . .

Unto These Hills by Emily Sue Harvey (2011, The Story Plant)
"A subtle tale deep with character and southern atmosphere to die for. Emily Sue Harvey has a sure touch and strong voice. She's a talent to watch."
-- Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author
"Unto These Hills is strong in its characterization and Emily Sue Harvey captures the humor and heartbreak of Southern Culture. The scenes are real and the emotions deep. A wonderfully readable novel."
-- Kay Allenbaugh, bestselling author of Chocolate for a Woman's Soul
"Emily Sue Harvey creates a strong Southern voice, vibrant characters, and a story that moves us from commonplace life to the brink of emotional destruction and back to salvation."
-- Gwen Hunter, author of Ashes to Ashes
Unto These Hills is an unforgettable novel of love, scandal, family, and roots by one of the most emotionally authentic authors of our time. Taking us into the deep South's Tucapau Mill Hill, it introduces us to the unforgettable Sunny Acklin. Betrayed, abandoned, and violated, Sunny faces one seemingly insurmountable challenge after another. But she never loses her spirit or the memory of the love that once so richly illuminated her world. As years go by, Sunny does everything she can to make something of her life until at last an opportunity arises, one charged with promise...and undeniable risk.
From its vivid evocation of mill hill life to its pitch perfect rendering of the complexities of family and relationships, Unto These Hills is at once epic and intensely intimate. It is the richest novel yet from a writer who fluently speaks the language of our deepest feelings.

Stuck in the Middle (Sister-to-Sister #1)
by Virginia Smith
Joan Sanderson's life is stuck.
Her older sister, Allie, is starting a family, and her younger sister, Tori, has a budding career. Meanwhile, Joan is stuck at home with Mom and her aging grandmother. Not exactly a recipe for excitement--or romance.
When a hunky young doctor moves in next door, Joan sets out to catch his eye. But it won't be easy. Pretty Tori flirts relentlessly, and Joan is sure that she can't compete. But with a little help from God, Allie, and an enormous mutt with bad manners, Joan begins to find her way out of this rut and into the life she's been hiding from.
Book 1 of the Sister-to-Sister series, Stuck in the Middle combines budding romance, soul searching, and a healthy dose of sibling rivalry that is sure to make you smile.

Science Fiction & Fantasy
Grant Borrows' life has just taken a drastic left turn. There's another man in the world wearing his face and living his life. What's more, the man he sees in the mirror is a stranger.
Somehow, he's been Shifted -- his whole life fundamentally altered, in the space of a single breath. But the changes don't stop at skin-level. Inexplicably, he's able to affect objects around him by simply thinking about them. And as he soon learns, he's become the central figure in a vast web of intrigue that stretches from an underground global conspiracy to a prophecy dating back over seven thousand years, that tells of his coming. Enemies and allies find him at every turn, but one thing they all learn very quickly is that you don't want to push Grant Borrows too far...
Can destiny be undone?
The players are ready. The game is in motion. And the pace is Relentless.
In the allegorical tradition of Tolkien and Lewis comes a powerful new myth for a new generation.

Set in a world of swords and cloaks, of glittering palaces and mystical temples, of galley ships and ancient, mist-bound cities, his journey illustrates how God pursues and how He uses suffering to mold His children into something greater than was ever thought possible.

Ever wonder how Italian sounds with a Southern drawl?
Bella Rossi's life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding-planning business, Bella quickly books a Boot-Scootin' wedding that would make any Texan proud. There's only one catch--she doesn't know a thing about country music. Where will she find a deejay on such short notice who knows his Alan Jackson from his George Strait? And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding?
Fun, fresh, and full of surprises, this flavorful combination of Italian and Tex-Mex highlights the hilarity that ensues when cultures clash.
"I fell in love with the Rossi clan, who feel as passionately about their pizza as Texans do about chili. Add a hunky cowboy with a slow Southern drawl, and you've got a recipe for one terrific story."--Virginia Smith, author, Stuck in the Middle
"A charming tale about stumbling upon love and finding a bit of your true self along life's journey. This fun read makes you grateful for the truly important things in life."--Megan DiMaria, author, Searching for Spice and Out of Her Hands
Janice Thompson is a seasoned romance author and native Texan. An experienced wedding coordinator herself, Thompson brings alive in her books the everyday drama and humor of getting married. She lives in Texas.
Daughter of Joy (Brides of Culdee Creek Series #1)
by Kathleen Morgan
Historical Romance
Love, heartbreak, and triumph lie deep within the wilds of the Colorado highlands.
Abigail Stanton's whole life was rooted in her faith, a faith she now clings to for survival. After losing her husband and young son, Abby sets out alone, bereft, and heartsick. And when she is led to Conor MacKay's doorstep, the very foundation of her belief starts to shift.
As the volatile rancher's new housekeeper, Abby is supposed to keep his affairs--and his capricious little girl--in order. Abby feels anything but order, though, when she and Conor are together. Can love heal the wounds of the past? Or will Abby and Conor risk even greater losses than they have already suffered?
The first in the Brides of Culdee Creek series, Daughter of Joy takes you on a journey of grief, intrigue, and redeeming love in the nineteenth-century Colorado highlands.
"A beautiful story of redemptive love."--Robin Lee Hatcher, author of Catching Katie
"A beautifully written, poignant love story that will remain with the reader long after the book is closed."--Lori Copeland, author of the Brides of the West series
"A spectacular . . . series."--Library Journal

Nonna Bannister carried a secret almost to her Tennessee grave: the diaries she kept as a young girl experiencing the horrors of the Holocaust while learning compassion and love for her fellow human beings. Nonna's writings tell the remarkable tale of how a Russian girl, born into a family that had known wealth and privileges, was exposed to the concentration camps and learned the value of human life and the importance of forgiveness.

Obama Applauds Illinois Legislature
President Barack Obama is praising the passage of same-sex marriage legislation in his home state of Illinois. Obama, who served in the Illinois state Senate, released a statement saying he
was ``overjoyed for all the committed couples in Illinois.''
The president is commending members of the Legislature for approaching the
issue in an ``open and fair way.'' He says the nation's journey is not complete
until gay men and women are treated equally under the law.
Same-sex marriage legislation passed the state House on Tuesday, nearly nine
months the Senate approved it. The vote comes on the heels of the U.S. Senate's
advancement of a workplace anti-discrimination bill for gay, lesbian and
transgender workers.
Illinois will be the 15th state to allow gay marriage.

Khloe Kardashian in FRAME Le Skinny de Jeanne in Echo Park
Khloe Kardashian was snapped while making her way through LAX airport. Her sister Kourtney and her family were also seen catching a flight. I wonder if the family is headed to Europe for Kim and Kanye's wedding?
Khloe wore a pair of FRAME Le Skinny de Jeanne skinny jeans in Echo Park with a long sweater and Jordans. I love seeing celebrities' airport style and Khloe's definitely seems geared toward comfort, especially for a long, international flight! You can buy FRAME online from Shopbop.com.
Khloe Kardashian in JET Patch Jeans
Khloe Kardashian was photographed while out with her family at Costco. The family looked to be filming scenes for their reality show since they were followed by cameras.
Khloe wore her JET Patch skinny jeans with a black tank and plaid shirt. Kylie wore an almost identical outfit to Khloe, only she chose a pair of shredded jeans. I think Khloe is one celebrity that we see frequently re-wearing her different pairs of jeans, even if they're a few years old. Buy JET online at Singer22.com.
Images from INFdaily.com
Khloe Kardashian in JET Skinny Jeans in Scratch Fade
Khloe Kardashian and her sister Kourtney, were photographed while doing some shopping at a rug store. The two were busy filming scenes for their reality show.
Khloe wore a pair of JET skinny jeans in Scratch Fade with a cropped bomber jacket and heels. Khloe seems to be pretty brand loyal, since we see her in three main brands, JET, Current/Elliott, and Rag & Bone pretty much exclusively, although she does mix in some new styles and brands on occasion. You can buy JET jeans online from Blacklabelboutique.com.
Khloe Kardashian in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans
Khloe Kardashian was snapped by the paparazzi as she and her family made their way through LAX. The family were enjoying a tropical vacation together in Thailand.
Khloe wore a pair of Rag & Bone skinny jeans with a long gray shirt and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti embellished heels. I think Khloe looks great here, she toned everything down a bit and wore a lot of great, neutral basics but added a bit of personality with the embellished shoes. Buy Rag & Bone online at Shopbop.com.

Oh my god(lulz) everyone is this thread types so much. I feel lazy here XD. I think Wicca is kinda awesome. I want to buy the book Isis Unveiled Volume two: Theology. It is by this crazy smart Russian lady from 1877. Her name is H.P. Blavatsky. I also want to read the first volume.
Abortion: This to me is Woman's right. I think it is that simple. It think that the situation with the 5 year old daughter is insane, If the mother had the child, given she loves her, She would donate her organ. At that point the girl has not been handed ove to a foster home.
Death penalty: I am still a bit indecisive on this...I mean....I don't know yet.
One thing I really hate is when a ignorant adult assumes that they are better than me based on age. I slap them with my knowledge. One fun little tale: My "Dad", younger brother, and I were going to get Ice cream. My little brother eats wheat free, and my "Dad" is like "What here do you have that is wheat free?", then Ice creamitory man is all like "Oh, well almost all of our stuff has whey or wheat in it so you can only order off the dairy free menu.", So I said "No. We can have whey." (/troll face), And he was like "Well the thing you have to understand is whey and wheat are almost the same thing. I am alot older so do not talk back!", And then I was like "Excuse me!? Whey is milk! I have been on and off on this diet too, I know." He blushed and gave us our damn ice cream. We went about our day.

Life in Color: National Geographic Photographs
by Susan Hitchcock
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A grab bag, if that's not too flippant a term, of some knockout photos, arranged by color: with some 70 pages each for Blue, Orange, Green, Yellow, Purple and Red, with briefer sections on Silver, Brown, Black, Gold, White and "Unseen". The photographs are from National Geographic's mammoth archive of over a million images. and it must have been one terrific assignment for Annie Griffiths to curate this collection. The text, what little there is, only goes to bear out the old adage.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
Devotes each chapter to a color while providing essays that explore each color's qualities, meaning, and symbolism, in a photographic tribute that includes coverage of "unseen color" as revealed by new technologies.

With the birth of film came the birth of a revolutionary visual language. This new, unique vocabulary-the cut, the fade, the dissolve, the pan, and a new idea of movement gave not only artists but also architects a completely new way to think about and describe the visual. The Architecture of the Screenexamines the interrelations between the visual language of film and the onscreen perception of space and architectural design, revealing how film's visual vocabulary influenced architecture in the twentieth century and continues to influence it today. Graham Cairns draws on film reviews, architectural plans, and theoretical texts to illustrate the unusual and fascinating relationship between the worlds of filmmaking and architecture.

What Mystique1223 said. I watched the show and thought to myself, none, not one have any depth to them, integrity, and only shadows of intellegence, a sad thing since all are so very beautiful. I mean, they know they're going to be tossed aside for next season's group of girls, so what's the point in competing for someone who's going to eventually treat them like a busted pair of flip flops? I think I'm getting old.

Web-based Resource Brings You Global Learning
Web-based learning just became more fascinating thanks to Google Cultural Institute! Providing an in-depth look at art, culture, architecture, history, etc. from all over the world, Google Cultural Institute provides endless educational opportunities and extensive information on each topic it covers. Explore the institute to see what fascinating cultural gems you can find!
In our parents' childhoods, international travel would've been a requirement for learning about some of the world's most beautiful and interesting cultural treasures. In order to tour a European art museum or an Asian architectural wonder, we would've needed to physically visit the actual location– meaning a strong commitment to learning about the particular place, as a visit would require hours of expensive travel before and afterwards.
Nowadays, however, the wonders of the world are easily accessible – thanks to Google Cultural Institute! A web-based resource providing in-depth, up-close-and-personal looks at the contents of museums and archives from all over the planet, Google Cultural Institute provides the richness of cultural treasures without the extensive travel. Offering opportunities to learn about everything from the collections of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant to wartime memorials in Ireland, Google Cultural Institute provides incredibly extensive information, diagrams, and photographs about each subject, location, or artwork included in the institute.

The last several days have been very busy as you might expect with a 12 and 9 year old in the house. However I did get out on Christmas eve morning and took a good final year ride on the P8. With this ride I passed 1,500 miles for the year.
When I first began cycling for exercise last March I assumed it would be great to ride 3 times a week, maybe 20 miles. Then in June I set a goal of 1,000 for the year. I passed that in Sept. and thought 1,500 would be nice. To me it was fitting that I rode it on the P8 even though a brand new Trek 5200 is in my bike room. It was a pretty day temp went from 30 to 40F during the ride and I wound up with 1,505 total on the P8 for the year.
Today, the day after Christmas I rode the 5200 for the first time as my bike, rather than the 7 mile test ride I took a couple of weeks ago when it was the LBS's bike. Took a nice 20 mile ride on a very blustery morning with wild wind gusts out of the northwest. At one point I was pedalling to keep any kind of speed while riding DOWN a hill. The ride itself was great. Coming from a steel bike known for it's smooth ride I was really impressed that the 5200 was smoother. Gear selection was fun with so many more ratio's to choose since the 5200 has a 10 gear cassette. The brakes are unbelievable in comparison to the P8. On this average ride, I had no discomfort or feeling of bad fit in either seat height to pedals as well as from seat to the bars. With the wind conditions, I didn't set any speed records as the bike was being pushed all over the place. I did have one short stint with a tailwind on a nice flat section travelling along at a little over 24mph. The clipless pedals kept me worried any time I came to a stop, but (knock on wood) I did not fall, (today).
Attached are a couple of pics showing the 5200. Next year 2,500 miles. I don't know how many I will ride this week, perhaps I can hit 1,600 for an '05 total.

sidebarTabs is broken with v3.0.2 of wordpress w/Wassup 1.8. Specifically the sbTabs or Tabs function is NOT defined as the sidebarTabs jQuery is not included as the latest version of jQuery is part of WordPress 3.0.2 or Wassup 1.8 so the later version wins.
Can the 'sbTabs' components of jQuery used by sidebarTabs be made its own file so that you can use any version of jQuery?
Thank you.
