In a nationally televised address Friday night, Carter said no nation "can continue to do business as usual with the Soviet in ordering the most stringent reprisals since the end of the Cold War. He warned that a Soviet-occupied Afghan- istan threatens both Iran and Pakistan and "is a stepping stone to possible control over much of the world's oil supplies." Carter said the Soviet Union will receive only 8 million tons of grain this year instead of 25 million tons the United states had agreed to sell them. It was the first time the United States has U.N. Council To Debate Afghan Crisis UNITED NATIONS (UPI) The Se- curity Council has brushed aside objec- tions from the Soviet-backed government of Afghanistan and pushed ahead with a debate on Russia's military push into the strategic central Asian Moslem nation. But any stern action by the CsBHeWf such as a resolution censuring Moscow for sending troops into the Moslem nation, faces a certain veto by the Soviet Union. Pakistan, the country that feels most threatened by Moscow's push into Moslem Afghanistan, asked to be the first speaker in today's full debate that was requested by some 50 nations, including the United Stales. Before the debate ends, a cross-section of the world community could raise a collective voice against Ihe biggest Soviet foreign intervention since the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. But laced with a Soviet veto, there is little the Council can do except hear complaints about the presence of Russian troops in the central Asian nation. Friday, the second highest ranking diplomat in Afghanistan's U.N. delega- tion, Abdul Hakim Tabibi, called a news conference and announced his resignation lo protest the Soviet invasion. "The whole world should raise its voice in our said Abdu Hakim Tabibi, Tabibi said, "f am leaving my post be- cause of of the sovereignty and independence of my country by our close neighbor, the Soviet union, who until now was regarded as a respected friend of Ihe people of Afghanistan." used agriculture as a foreign policy weapon "for overriding national security a White House officiaf said. To soften the blow to farmers, officials said Ihe administration will spend between billion and billion over the next two years to protect prices and markets. Carter also warned that if Russia continues its aggression in Afghanistan where it now has troops, Ihe United States may withdraw Irom the Olympics in Moscow next summer. (See Page Other retaliatory measures he announced included a severe reduction of fishing rights for Soviet trawlers in U.S. waters, a ban on exports of high technology, particularly oil drilling equipment, and a freeze on Soviet consular, cultural and economic exchanges. In addition, Carter offered to provide mili- tary equipment, food and other assistance to help Pakistan "defend its independence" against the Soviet threat. He said the United States also stands ready to help other nations in (he region lo forestall aggression. A White House oflicial said if Iran releases the 50 American hostages and comes to realize the threat to its own security, U.S. aid would be forthcoming, Carter made it clear that he fears the Kremlin intends to alter the world balance of power and may be benl on further expansion. "If Soviets are encouraged in this invasion by eventual success, and if they maintain their dominance over Afghanistan and extend their control to adjacent countries, the stable, strategic and peaceful balance of the world will be he said. "This would threat- en the security of alt nations, including of course, (he United States, our allies and friends." Carter also delayed the opening of the new American and Soviet consular facilities. Aero- flot flights between America and Russia, which were to be increased, will continue on a twice weekly basis. Carter noted he already had sought and won postponement of Senate debate over the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty with Russia. But he said he is not rejecting the pact for Ihe long run because "the entire world will benefit from the successful control of strategic nuclear weapons through the implementation of this carefully negotiated treaty." Carter also noted that 50 nations have petitioned the United Nations Security Council to condemn the Soviet Union and lo demand immediate withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan. If the Soviet Union exerts its veto, he said, immediate action "would be appropriate" in the U.N. Genera] Assembly where it does not have a veto.

In a letter addressed to AyatolTah RuhoLlah Khomeini, Ghotbazdeh said La- ingen and two other American diplomats had been placed under the Foreign Min- istry's protection with the knowledge of Khomeini and the ruling Revolutionary Council. "I folEow orders only of the leader (Khomeini) and carry out decisions taken by the Islamic Revolutionary Council and request that necessary orders be issued in this Ghotbazdeh said. There was no immediate response to Gholbzadeh's letter from either Khomeini or the Revolutionary Council. The militants have also threatened to try one of the 50 American hostages for Vietnam war crimes, but the foreign minister made no comment on that mat- ter. In another development, dissident Ayatollah Kazem Shariat-Madari today ordered the dissolution of his political party and told followers he'could no longer support their opposition of the Islamic regime.

Blair County? Nursing home administrators, cler- gymen and physicians attest lo long wait- ing fists at most nursing homes, and tell stories about families desperately searching for a place for an elderly relative. The Keystone Health Systems Agency on the other hand, says Ihe county has enough nursing home beds, and recently discouraged two nursing home expansion proposals. A state nursing home inspector based in Aitoona, while taking neither side, says loo many people are put Into nursing homes long before they need to be. Examining the availability of nursing home beds also raises larger questions of our attitudes toward the elderly and whether institutions are an acceptable way of caring for them. The KHSA has adopted and is enforcing a criterion of 42 nursing home beds per thousand elderly (85 or While conceding that the criterion Is "con- the agency points out that it to encourage the development of alternatives to nursing home care. The KHSA says that with the develop- ment of such alternalives as adult day care, and improved coordination of com- munity-based services for (he elderly, there will be a need for only 115additional nursing home beds in the area by 1985. Nursing home administrators and oth- ers take issue with that. The Rev. Russell Wise, administrator of Epworth Manor in Tyrone, said the agency's projection of need doesn't square with his home's waiting list of 250 people. "We have people coming in two or three times a week begging (or a he said. He criticized the agency as being "loo far removed from Ihe front lines." Lois Gutshall, administrator of Al- legheny Lutheran Home in Hollidaysburg, agrees with Rev. Wise. "There appears lo be a she said, "when we look at the number of beds we have and the number who have applied for beds." Both Epworth and Allegheny Lutheran recently approached the KHSA about expanding their facilities and were told that if they submitted applications, the agency probably wouldn't approve them. Donald Trotter, administrator of Val- ley View Home, said Ihe county facility has a "lengthy" waiting list of more than 100 people. "We deal with the medically he said. "The need for this type of bed is going to continue and continue to grow." Ralph Delk, administrator of the Mor- risons Cove Home at Martinsburg, noted: "We've got a few openings now, but enough applicants to fill Diem. We've been turning away people one after another, telling them there's not enough beds. All of the homes in the area are full or will be in a short time." The controversy cropped up at the November KHSA meeting at which the agency ruled on four applications for construction of new nursing homes in Ihe Cambria-Somerset area. The agency staff and the Program and Facilities Committee, applying the 42- beds-per-thousand criterion, recrecom- mended that two applications be approved and two be rejected. The agency approved two applications for Hastings and Myersdale Community Hospital without much discussion. Then alter hearing testimony criticizing its 42- beds-per-thousand level, the agency ap- proved the construction of a third new facility at Johnstown.

Common Systems Review Group
The UW System's Common Systems Review Group (CSRG) was created in 1998 to provide oversight and leadership for large information technology systems used by all or most of the fifteen institutions in the University of Wisconsin System. Each UW institution has a representative on CSRG, either a Chief Academic Officer, a Chief Business Officer or a Chief Information Officer. By 2007 the CSRG has a portfolio of seven major common systems. CSRG hired Strategic Initiatives, Inc. in 2007 to help it develop a long range plan, or information technology roadmap, to enable better decisions about adopting or rejecting new applications, to understand how ongoing applications might fit together to offer the best value for the investment, and to demonstrate how large cross-institutional IT projects might enable the UW System to better achieve its long-term business goals.

It has been gorgeous Friday here in sunny Austin, Texas at a nice 65-70 degrees. It's only fair to give props when props are due, especially since I have used this blog to gritch about the oppressive heat last summer, which ended yesterday I think.
So! Onto the real reason I brought you here:
Did you know that you peeps only have like two weeks left to get your proposals in to present at Pulse? I know you all have an IBM story to tell. Maybe you don't think anyone would want to hear it or maybe you are concerned that you don't have time to prepare. Or maybe you just don't think that there is good reason to bother.
Nonsense, I say to thee!
First of all, this offer isn't just for high-ranking executives or big business partners. We also need the folks who actually hands-on run the stuff we sell your company. Does it work? Did it get you out of a fix? Did it prevent you from being in a fix? Did it save more money than it cost? That sort of thing.
Secondly, you don't have to worry about this taking a bunch of your time. We'll make it easy for you. This is not a test that you are going to be graded on. This is your story and it's one you know so well, you've probably even told it at a cocktail party. And all you need to do right now is pick a category and draft a 150-word description of what you will talk about. Oh, and submit it at the Pulse website by November 2. That's nothing! This blog is already 280 words. Here is an article that can help you get your proposal accepted.
And thirdly, do you realize what an opportunity this is? You will be immortalized!
Seriously, we promote the heck out of the good stuff people say at Pulse. Why on earth wouldn't we? We might even interview you on camera (if you let us) and put you on our YouTube channel and Tweet, Facebook, and of course blog about you. Client presentations from Pulse are wildly popular. My colleagues ping me weekly with, "I need So-and-So's presentation from Pulse 2009 for a meeting with [client, executive, press, you fill in the blank]!" We'll make you famous (sort of).
Here are some more goodies for our speakies:
What are you waiting for? The deadline is November 2 and the clock is ticking!

SALT LAKE CITY — Lawyers for same-sex couples in Utah filed court papers Friday with the U.S. Supreme Court explaining why gay marriage should be allowed to continue in the state.
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah took its fight against gay marriage to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, asking the high court to suspend same-sex unions that became legal when a judge struck down the state's voter-approved ban.
SALT LAKE CITY — The last of the Utah counties that were holding out on issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples have reversed course and decided to hand out licenses to all eligible applicants.
SALT LAKE CITY - With his penchant for poetry, Todd Christensen never fit the Raiders' renegade mold. But that didn't keep him from becoming one of the team's best all-time tight ends.
PROVO, Utah - The conviction of a Utah doctor in the murder of his wife was the culmination of a yearslong pursuit of justice by the family of the victim.
MANTI, Utah — Authorities captured an elusive survivalist on Tuesday who is suspected of burglarizing Utah cabins and leaving some covered with threats and bullet holes — ending a saga that began six years ago and grabbed the attention of police and residents around the state.
SALT LAKE CITY — A juice bar that charges liberals $1 more than conservatives says those on the political left are happy to oblige in the Utah oil town of Vernal - "all three of them," the owner jokes.
But wait. Do conservatives favor almond milk with blended avocado?
SALT LAKE CITY — License plate scanners in widespread use by law enforcement agencies hold the potential for misuse by divorce lawyers or police who use information on a motorist's whereabouts as fodder for an "interrogation game," a legislator said Friday.
Utah has no law governing the use, collection or lifespan of tracking data on law-abiding motorists, said Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross. He plans to introduce legislation in January to make clear the information cannot be kept in a databank longer than six months, or subpoenaed in divorce or other civil litigation.
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah - Jessica Fiveash sees nothing wrong with arming teachers. She's one herself, and learned Thursday how to safely use her 9 mm Ruger with a laser sight.
SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court ruled Monday that a polygamist sect on the Utah-Arizona border waited too long to challenge a court-ordered takeover, clearing the way for state authorities to break up a church trust and sell assets including homes, businesses and farms in two small towns.

I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Pers-Lotion -Your order number 14884550 from fragranceX.com
Gentlemen: I have received the above order. There is nothing wrong with the fragrance but the viscosity of the product makes me question if it all(3 boxes) is as it should be.. Please advise if the product in the normal state is very runny, like oily water and if perhaps it was frozen en route during transit and if this or some other untoward happening could have in some way caused the product to be other than as intended in manufacturing.
It works as a fragrance but is awfully hard to control. I had to transfer it to a pump bottle as it is so difficult to use from the squeeze container. I bought it to layer the scent.

Learn more about him at the link below. Karl Hejlik | May 22, 2013 "This is a population that has gone without for far too long," Her Excellency Joyce Banda, president of the African nation of Malawi, said in a recent address. "It is our obligation to expose injustice and right what is wrong. An inclusionary approach is essential to sustainable development, which must be development for all." In Malawi, words like these are more than just window dressing; they're policy. In her first 100 days in office, Banda passed the Malawi Disability Act, and the country has created a ministry dedicated to people with disabilities and aligned itself to comply with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Banda also committed to forming a national partnership with Special Olympics Malawi. The country has one of the most innovative national Programs in the Special Olympics movement, supporting more than 5000 active athletes, despite being relatively small and rural.

Tom Brady helped christen the first Ugg for Men store on Tuesday in New York, jetting down from Boston earlier in the day for the event. "Everything that you put on feels great, there is so much consistency. Every shoe and every slipper you put on, they all feel great," said Brady of the shoes, gamely tackling his role as footwear pitchman.
This story first appeared in the June 7, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The New England Patriots quarterback has been featured in the Ugg men's campaign since the fall, helping drive a 30 percent increase in men's sales in 2011, said Connie Rishwain, president of Ugg Australia, a $1.2 billion division of Deckers Outdoor Corp. Brady said he wore Ugg slippers as far back as college and even gave some as Christmas presents over the years.
"To see what they are rolling out now, with the winter boots and the rocker boots, it's pretty amazing," he said, wearing his own pair of Ugg boots with his jeans-and-cardigan — looking at home in the Madison Avenue shop, which is connected to a women's Ugg store.
RELATED STORY: Ugg's Retail Expansion Plans >>
Apart from Ugg shoes, Brady said he liked shopping on Amazon.com and Zappos.com. Contrary to what some might suppose, Brady's wife, Gisele Bündchen, doesn't interfere too much with his fashion choices.
"You would think she does but she doesn't," he said. "She doesn't go overboard with it. If there's something that she just hates, she'll tell me. She'll just say, 'Oh I like you better like this.'"
As for those tabloid reports that Bündchen is pregnant with their second child, Brady said he's looking forward to expanding the brood. "I look forward to it very much," he said. "My family has been the greatest thing about my life. It's nice that as I've gotten older, it's really become about my family and my career — and it's kind of how I like it."
Brady shot the new fall Ugg campaign on a Universal Studios lot in Los Angeles meant to evoke the cobblestone streets of downtown New York. "It's probably not something I'm entirely comfortable with, because I don't get a chance to do it very often," he said of his modeling gigs. "I'm much more comfortable on a field with 70,000 people watching than in front of a camera."

Skip to comments.Palin Flashback: Michelle Obama Says She's From 'Real' Chicago
Posted on 04/03/2009 12:04:42 PM PDT by lewisglad
click here to read article
Ever since they razed Cabrini Greens, the Northside is considered posh.
What was THAT remark all about.. it was true....Palin did not get any affirmative action, and my guess is that BOTH Obamas did.
Cabrini Green. Singular.
That was an excellent episode!
Doc (from Sagamore Hills)
"There is a fake Chicago?"
That would be Cleveland!
Doesn't count... Emanuel's a North Sider!
Oh oh... got the grammar fuzz on my tail...
No, just somebody from Chicago.
Uh, I think Sally Hemings may have beat you to that.
"I was raised on the South Side of Chicago thats the real part of Chicago."
I was raised on the North Side of Chicago, Michelle. As I recall, it was real.
Your hubby was raised on Far East Side of Chicago Indonesia that's the real Muslim part of Chicago.
He would feel right at home doing "community organizing"
in Kenya!
Point taken—JFK was bad enough, but his death put LBJ in-and that was the beginning of the end.
Yeah, that was a great series.
My dad wasn't Italian, and was 50 lbs lighter than Tony, (and wasn't in the mob)but otherwise, apperance and in some ways personality-wise, he was a dead ringer for Tony.
BTW—it goes without saying to others who didn't see the episode-the neighborhood in Newark was no longer Italian—it had become "vibrant" with "urban flava"
PS to Doc—Is Little Italy in Cleveland still good? I bet it's still in decent shape-sure hope so. I hung out there a bit 9-10 years ago—Mama Santa's Pizza—that's living....
One more thing—I know the place is a sewer of political sleaze—and they have what seems to be 100 square miles of some of the worst ghetto I ever hauled a$$ through with my gun on the front seat next to me, ready to go.—But Chicago is in many ways one of my favorite cities—I've met many great people there-the food-the bars, the cultural amenities etc. and so much more. I love NYC— and there's no place like it-but Chicago is pretty damn close.

The phone rings. A reporter wants to talk to you. Good news or bad?
Strategic planning can turn your 15 minutes into a golden opportunity to boost that career, reputation or brand.
Plus, preparation is crisis control. In the midst of a scandal or snafu, you're likelier to win with press savvy.
"Talking to the media is so different from any other form of communication," Brad Phillips, president of his namesake media relations training firm, told IBD. "Even if a manager or executive is brilliant at speaking with staff or customers, it doesn't always translate."
The basics:
• Go bold. You should know what you want to say when the cameras turn on.
"Develop a set of stories and statistics and sound bites that reinforce that main point," Phillips said.
• Keep it real. Cut the canned bit. Being authentic is a big plus, even if you stumble once in awhile.
"I never want a spokesperson to sound like a politician that's spinning on the Sunday morning talk shows," said Phillips.
• Show your amazing side. "I counsel my clients that while they always have to tell the truth, a media interview is a bit like a job interview," said media relations consultant Anne Isenhower. "There's nothing wrong with presenting themselves and their company in the best light."
• Focus on your audience. The best spokespeople "know that their primary function during an interview isn't to impress their bosses or peers, but to forge a direct connection with each person reading or hearing their words," Phillips wrote in his new book, "The Media Training Bible."
• Flow. Star communicators have good reflexes when reporters shift gears.
"They know that rolling with the changes, maintaining their composure and displaying a touch of humor — where appropriate — will enhance the audience's impression of them," Phillips said.
• Distill. Top executives often struggle with explaining their ideas in a way that will appeal to the general public.
"They live in the gray area and nuance, so it's very hard for them to go from that to the 35,000-foot level," Phillips said. "In media interviewing, what you are trying to do is go to the broader level."
The fix? Practice. Learn to simplify. Self-edit to suit your grandmother. That's how you win in front of a news crew.
• Count to three. Pausing before you start talking adds IQ points to your message, Phillips said: "Two or three seconds often allows you to deliver a better answer. Before you say it, take a beat."
• Care. "Bring every bit of passion that you feel for the topic to the interview," Phillips said. "People tend to believe the manner in which you are saying it rather than the words themselves."
• Find the jazz. For his IBD interview, Phillips noted, he turned his computer screen away so he wouldn't get distracted.
He was standing up and wearing a headset to add a little extra oomph to his delivery.
That's how you bring zing to a phone chat.
• Get past wham-bam. Before your interview, research the reporter you'll be talking to. Read or watch his work. Learn about the publication.
At the end of your chat, offer to help with future assignments.
"I work hard to teach my clients about the importance of building lasting relationships with reporters," Isenhower said. "It's not just about getting one story. It's about being a resource for a reporter for years."

Great breakfast. clean room
They allowed motorcycles to park at entrance
We were attending a wedding and the hotel was convenient for this purpose.
Fantastic people ~ really friendly, felt like family
The gentleman that owns the Inn was so witty - great sense of humor and made us feel very welcome!
Nothing - the property was beautiful, the service was exceptional and the price was right!
Clean confortable room, bed, and bathroom. Good breakfast. Plentiful parking. Fast internet.
Location did not match expectations from promotional picture; not on water; in front of noisy, busy street. 1990's TV, no room phone, no room alarm clock. No comfortable seating in room, only a couple of straight back chairs.
Huge bathroom in the 'Blue Penthouse'. on the 3rd floor.
Had a terrible moldy smell and also, in the bathroom there's a shelf over the sink which made it difficult to wash.
Such a plesant stay. we loved the enviorment of the Cheney House. we Will most certainly be returning.
there was nothing about it that I didnt like.
The owners were friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast was not good- store bought bakery items and fake maple syrup! Yikes!
Dirty, dated, not a good value for the price.

I often wonder what would have happened to my brother if he'd have had different parents. I doubt he would be anywhere near as able as he is nowadays.
Many parents would have listened to the doctors who were describing him as a lost cause, and treated him accordingly. Thankfully mine were determined that, even if the best of his ability was minimal, he would attain it. And in the end Nick did more than this - he excelled.
Case in point; when we were trying to place him in his current living arrangement, he was considered at first glance to be too able to qualify. It was only when he was fully assessed that it became clear that he was in fact profoundly disabled.
The reason for this confusion was down to Nick's demeanour. He had been brought up in a household where he was encouraged to behave appropriately, to speak properly, and to use a full vocabulary. All of which served to conceal many of his limitations.
It took many years to get him to this point though.
When we were told he wouldn't walk my mum started working his limbs and tapping his reflexes until he slowly began to crawl.
When we were told he wouldn't talk, my mum used a method found in speech therapy where something sweet like yoghurt or sugar is placed around the mouth to get the person to exercise their tongue. This worked tremendously well, and Nick's tongue went from lolling about at the side of his mouth to being much more controlled. Then by constantly speaking to him, reading to him, and playing with him, we got him to talk.
Eventually he could walk, run, play sports and chatter endlessly - something that my family are collectively very proud of.
It was around this point in his development that my jealousy of Nick dissipated somewhat. I think this was because my parents cleverly turned a situation where I could have felt left out, into a situation where I was fully involved as they enlisted me to help them look after and develop him.
I remember fetching nappies and baby wipes for Nick, and being given the unusual job of throwing soft toys at him to get him to blink and react. It sounds bad when you say it, but it really helped to make him more aware of his surroundings and fine tune his reactions.
All of this caused me to feel very responsible for Nick, and I have remained fiercely protective of him to this day.

"Dougga, another World Heritage location" Dougga by JLBG
Dougga Travel Guide: 62 reviews and 209 photos
Dougga is situated on the hills that face the rich Medjerda valley, one of the main wheat purveyors of Rome. It is about 550 meters above the sea level, 100 km away from Tunis and as the road is very good, it can be easily visited as a day trip. The site of Dougga offers now some nice ruins. Some have been restored. But as it is the case for many archaeological grounds in Tunisia, the best items have been transferred to the Bardo museum in Tunis. The whole area is about spreads over 65 hectares. Its position on the slopes forced Roman builders to renounce their standard city plan and adapt their monuments to the terrain.
Dougga is a very old city and was first a Numidian city. It was mentioned in the 4th century BC by Diodorus the Sicilian under the names of Tocai or Tukka. It was from the 2nd to the 1st century BC one of the residences of the Massyle Kings (Massinissa, Micipsa, Jugurtha), allied to the Romans. In the Roman times the municipal land was split into two parts; the Numidian city, and a pagus (rural area) under the authority of Carthage. Whole again, Thugga became a municipium in 205 under Septime Sévère and an honorary colonia in 261. With some 10.000 residents, Thugga had a municipal bourgeoisie that endowed her with a number of rich monuments. After its 2nd century prosperity, Thugga slowly lost its glory, though it still enjoyed brief periods of revival in the 3rd, the 4th and 6th centuries when it was fortified by the Byzantine as a fortress. Though it was never deserted, archaeological research required the removal of its residents to a new Dougga lying below classical Thugga.
The monuments are incredibly well preserved and include 12 Punic or Roman temples, 3 transformed into churches in the 4th century, 3 baths, numerous tanks and fountains, 1 nymphaeum, 1 aqueduct, 1 market, 2 theaters, 1 circus, several necropolises and mausoleums.
The last picture shows the view towards the west, down one of the main streets from the centre of Dougga with the Capitol in the background and one of the unexcavated areas on the left-hand side of the picture.
The site of Dugga has been inscribed in 1977 on the World heritage list.
The photos on this page were taken on several occasions, some in Spring, others in Summer, some at early morning, others later. This is why the stone will have very different looks.
For more on Dougga, you can visit this site that will give you a map of the city and another one with many pictures.

i love archaeology! some great photos and info from ancient monuments !
I am believing you should be a professional picture taker-or area you? These are great and the commentary enhance the adventure of reading
What evocative photos and tips on this well-preserved Roman town. The theatre looks stunning and, well, I guess the toilets took "togetherness" to a new level! :)
A fascinating presentation of Dougga. It reminds me a little of the ruins in Sicily. Love the info about the latrines and the culture of the times. I always enjoy anything to do with the Greek/Roman Gods/Goddesses!
What the Romans got up to is realy fascinating = good history woven through your pages = enjoyed my virtual tour!!
An excellent page! I am impressed with the well preserved ruins and your knowledge about them. It is amazing that you once were allowed to camp among the ruins. It must have been a wonderful trip then!
The forum is impressive. Your tip about the Latrines & how citizens came there to gossip, remind me of the time I was in a public washroom & the lady next to me was talking on her cell phone while sitting on the "throne". Some things never change. hehe
Reminds me at Ephesus, Roman technology, latrines, theathers;nice report JL
Excellent page. I created a small one too, in the hopes that others will follow and you can be number 1.
Quel superbe site! Merci pour la visite virtuelle, tres bien fait! La revue Geo recemment avait son article principal sur les romains en Afrique du Nord, j'espere que tu l'as vu!

text: I have formatted my computer, earlier I was having the leopard and now I am thinking to install Lion and therefore, I purchased the OS X lion memory stick. When I tried to install that then that runs well for some time and then it shows me the message as problem under installing, please try again. It was not mentioned anything that can specify the problem. I tried to install that many of the times but that does not solved my problem. Can you tell me that what should I do to troubleshoot this issue or what is the reason for this problem.

c. Tweet something:INSERT INTO twitter.status (status, oauth_consumer_key, oauth_consumer_secret, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret) VALUES ('tweeting from yql!', '@your_consumer_key', '@your_consumer_secret', '@your_access_token', '@your_access_secret');When I look at the provided keys for my application, i see a consumer key and a consumer secret, but I dont see an oauth token or oauth token secret
OAuth access is a 3 step dance. The link below talks about the flow.http://developer.yahoo.com/oauth/guide/oauth-auth-flow.htmlWhat you need to do is use consumer key and consumer secret and authorize yourself and trade it for an access token and an access token secret. Once you have this, you will be able to use the twitter table. For the oauth twitter access, there are two tables called twitter.oauth.requesttoken and twitter.oauth.accesstoken. With this you will be able to get the access token / secret. These tables should be self explanatory but if you need any additional help post back.HTH-balaji
The Oauth Verifier for the twitter.oauth,accesstoken table, I recognize that a user must enter it in the process. But, I wanted to just test out the tables in the yql console.Is it possible to get the oauth verifier from the yql console or are the twitter tables designed not to work in the console.
Using request token I receive the token and token secret with my consumer key and consumer secret, but for the accesstoken table, I was unable to figure out what the oauth verifier is.At a point I thought it would be oob , but that didn't work.Is it possible to use the requesttoken, accestoken, twitterstatus tables in that sequence, while in the yql console?
also twitter asks, does the application run in a web browser or desktop client? tell me, for working in the yql console which is the correct one if it matters, and why?I recognize browser would be best for my app in the future as it will be accessible through browsers.
Yes it is possible. See belowYes. That is exactly the process that needs to follows. If you use the request token table, you would get a request token and request secret. Once you have this, visit https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize? along with the response you received from the YQL request.Twitter will ask you for the authorization and will return you a verfier. Call the twitter.oauth.accesstoken with your keys along with the verfier that you recieved from twitter. You will receive an access token and an access token secret in response. Voila, you can make any oauth calls after this.You can use the browser but for testing with yql, when yql calls the request token, it will set callback to oob (out of bounds) for this specific case.HTH-balaji
First, let me say, thank you for all the help.I have the process up to a point. using insert for the twitter.status table, I receive response<url execution-time="182" http-status-code="401" http-status-message="Unauthorized" proxy="DEFAULT"><![CDATA[http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.xml]]></url> <javascript execution-time="606" instructions-used="1131137" table-name="twitter.status"/> I usedINSERT INTO twitter.status (status, oauth_consumer_key, oauth_consumer_secret, oauth_token, oauth_token_secret) VALUES ('tweeting from yql!', 'MY APP CONSUMER KEY', 'MY APP CONSUMER SECRET', 'THE OAUTH TOKEN RETURNED FROM THE TWITTER.OAUTH.ACCESSTOKEN TABLE', 'THE OAUTH TOKEN SECRET RETURNED FROM THE TWITTER.OAUTH.ACCESSTOKEN TABLE')I used the oauth token and oauth token secret from the request token table in the accesstoken and used the oauth token and oauth token secret from the access token table to get a new oauth token and oauth token secret, but using the insert, with these relevant values, I get the 401 status code response.I went over the steps again and tried it with different accounts to make sure. What could be the problem?
I also tested the same and this is giving a signature invalid message. I will ask around to see if anyone knows this issue.
oh and please , if you find anything or get any report, to add the knowledge to this streamthank you again
use 'http://balajin.net/hacks/yql/twitter.status.xml' as twitter.status; insert nto twitter.status ....
Here is a work around that I have got working. Test it out. I will ask the original author to see if this is okay to get it pushed to github.CODEuse 'http://balajin.net/hacks/yql/twitter.status.xml' as twitter.status; insert nto twitter.status ....
It sent me back this, hope this helps in the fixing<javascript execution-time="648" instructions-used="1134108" table-name="twitter.status"/> <javascript name="twitter.status" verb="insert"><![CDATA[No Context associated with current Thread]]></javascript> <user-time>1098</user-time>I simply appended your use in front of my insert instruction. Is their more specifics that I need. I tried it to make sure it is syntactically correct, it seems so.
FYI, The tables on datatables.org, and the twitter insert should function without any additional changes. So go ahead and test it out. Cheers-balaji
Hi,I've tried using those queries above.. which consumer key and secret should i use? from yahoo api or twitter api? i've tried using both, but no success top insert value. Please guide.. thanks

I'm doing a total strip down, cleaning and service on my ten year old Raleigh mountain bike, for education and maintenance. I've got another bike, so I can afford to take my time, and even screw it up. I am finding crank and bottom bracket terminology confusing. Would some one please tell me the exact tool I need to remove these cranks? As the title says, it's a Shimano STX RC crankset.
Google is not being friendly, nor is the forum search. LBS is not L, so I will be buying online. I don't want to buy the wrong tool.
Once again, thanks to the Bike Forum community for all the help.

Dogs dressed as frontiersmen, crustaceans and various food items raced, rolled and sang their way across the Ross Off-Leash Dog Recreation Area during DOGPAW's annual Dogtoberfest event Saturday in Vancouver.
Dogtoberfest included a costume contest, along with various doggie Olympics events such as best tail-wag, best kisser, best singer and best tricks. Besides providing dogs and their owners a play date, the event served as a valuable tool in recruiting new members for DOGPAW, chairwoman Kathleen Hansen said.

The Dog Owners Group for Park Access in Washington, an all-volunteer nonprofit based out of Vancouver, runs five parks in Clark County, each of which is between six and eight acres in size. The Hazel Dell location where Dogtoberfest occurred Saturday is at Northeast Ross Street and 15th Avenue.
The organization needs $5,000 in annual donations per park to pay for maintenance and upkeep, Hansen said. Memberships are $15 for singles and $25 for families. The organization has around 700 members, she added.
Organizers cancelled one of Dogtoberfest's biggest moneymakers — the lure course for sight dogs such as greyhounds — when the motor that propels mechanized rabbits and squirrels failed, Hansen said.
While Dogtoberfest did not offer a lure competition, it offered plenty of other opportunities for dogs to showcase their talents or to prance around without a care in the world.
"When their dog is so happy, like that one running around with a smile on its face," Hansen said pointing out a nearby pooch, "it just kind of makes you happy."
Among the happy pet owners in attendance were Washougal residents Kat and Chris Barnes.
"It's nice to have the environment where we can play with our dogs," Kat Barnes said. "We're always looking for things to do with our pets."
Melody, their 2-year-old treeing Walker coonhound, won Dogtoberfest's best costume ribbon for her coonskin hat that recalled a canine Davy Crockett. She also finished second in the best singer competition.
"She's a princess and she knows it," Kat Barnes said of Melody. The couple got Melody from a breeder in Longview when she was nine months old. Since then, she has emerged as a vital part of their family, Kat Barnes said.
Fern, the Barnes' 3-year-old yellow Labrador, won best kisser for a big, wet one it planted on Chris Barnes' face.
Rod Chambers' 9-year-old mini-Doberman, Rylee, did not win best costume, but it probably would have won for most mistaken costume had such a category existed.
"That's a little bug," said a woman who stopped and stared at Rylee.
"A crawfish," Chambers corrected her gently.
Other passersby remarked about having seen a dog dressed as a lobster.
Rylee did not seem to mind.
"The dogs are enjoying it as much as we do," Chambers said. "They need their outings."
Even attendees who did not have dogs at the event enjoyed watching the chipper mood of others' pets.
Darleen Chester, of Salinas, Calif., helped officiate the contests, as a favor to her sister, Arleen Chester, a DOGPAW member. Darleen Chester, a dog owner herself, could not hide her excitement as she watched the tail-wagging contest.
"Look at that tail go," she said into the microphone. "You can't even see it, it's going so fast."
During a pause in the action, Darleen Chester praised Vancouver for its dog parks.
"These are the best dog parks I have seen," she said.
