 I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, because I'm not sure.
 But I looks like you finally killed the randomly reorganizing sort bug ?
 In silence  or did I miss a posting ?

 Anyway great job ! Many thanks !

 You are right, the fix was resolved. Sorry we did not explicitly inform you we did release the fix.

 On Jan 25th Pete reported:

 "Guys,

 we have a fix for this problem, which will be released later this week.

 Pete"

 which we released on Jan 28th.

 Kind regards, Arno

 Changes I'd like:

 1. Remove items that are not for sale from the ordering list (i.e. items which are not 'available to all')

 2. Change the interface to just allow a text entry for the order, rather than having to use multiple mouse clicks to reposition something. The graphical interface currently in use is slow and sometimes a bit buggy (e.g. if a model's picture is small, sometimes you can't get to the repositioning buttons)

 3. At least allow more than 8 items to be displayed in the graphical orderer. I have over 50 items for sale, and over 170 items in total, so they get split over 22 different screens. ]]> afrodri 2010-02-12T19:45:53-00:00 Re: Shop sorting : it works !

You're in for a blessed evening when you wear the Women's Deluxe Mother Superior Nun Costume. This costume includes a long black gown with bell sleeves, an overlay, a black mantle, a white sock hood, and a white bib. Nuns are Catholic women who have taken vows to commit their lives to religion. They often live in convents or monasteries, and spend most of their time in prayer and serving the less fortunate. You can complete the look with items like rosary beads, cross necklaces and black heels, sold separately. This costume would be a great joke costume for any birthday costume party, and you can go along with friends dressed in any of our other religious costumes, easily found elsewhere on our website. Whether you went to Catholic school or just want a funny ironic outfit, you'll enjoy the Women's Deluxe Mother Superior Nun Costume.

That was for a decade of disaster when every farmer and most buuinnss men found themdolvea growing poorer and poorer every year. It was then more than now that "Greenbackera proclaimed against their extortionate profits. Though ih-if still lot I ail b;ui'HH in, profits, and always will so long as Ihey are continued, the difference is not now so striking. The most noticeable avils now appayout in the national banking system are the incompetency of the system to furnish currency adequate to the growing wants and business of the country consequent up-ou the opening up of new territory and tho growing wealth of the settled portions, and tho advantage thus given to a class, a ring, a combiua-* tion to control the entire business of the nation for speculative purposes. The national banking system makes it possible for capitalists ami heavy dealers to conjoint) to boar the price -of any or all kinds of produce and then to oorner the same. Without the aid of the national banks such operations would be greatly crippled in their powers for evil and the tap root of all monopolies cut off. It is stated that Snm. Randall took onr own "Calamity" Waller np between his fingers, figuratively Rpenking, a few days ayo, Jo'in-j the dlsou'eion of a question, and squeezed him so hard that it made Weller tho toughing Btook of the whole house. "Calamity," however, settled down behind his uhoek and didn't appear to mind the matter muoli. Perhaps Mr. Weller did not know that Snm. Randall was loaded when hs began fooling around him. "Calamity" should try to be too familiar with weapons of Sammy's oalibro.-Waukon Dotnoorat. Congressman Weller arose but once sinoe hia assault on Randal; and consequent ool-lapse. "I want to introduoe a bill," but wsb ilanoad with ones of "regular order." The Fourth Distriot is now without a member in congress.-McGregor News.. Paragraphs like the above pre found in abundanee in the sore-eyed poodle press of the Fourth District, but we have observed with satisfaction that the respeotable portion of the Republican, presa have got through harping on Mr. Wallers incapacity, and wo have also observed that the better clasB of Democratic papers are very commendatory of Mr. Weiler regarding his tilt with Randall. The fact is, none but big-1 ted idiots would put such stuff in print as the clippings with whioh we introduce this paragraph. Mr. Weller has acquitted himself honorably. The amendment to' the rules which he proposed was just tho thing needed to head off and shut out corrupt legislation. Like an honest clear headed and courageous farmer he unearthed the mischievous thing which Randall and his tricky pals had so nicely seorated to gull grangers with. Of course Randall was as mad as any mountebank to have his boBS trick publioly exposed; of course with the brazen assurance of his class he oould simulate contempt and soorn, but withstanding, We! lot stripped him of his garments of of pretended superiority and stood him up before tho people a disrobed miscreant. All honor we say to Mr. Weller. If the majority of the members of oon - greas were as honest, ne clear-headed as fearless and as watchful of the in torest of their constituents as Mr Weller the "people of the United States would soon enter upon an era of prosperity and happiness superior to any they have yet experienced r.ud sailors of the Uuile.l States, and other persons, aro in immiu-sut peril; and Whereas the United States govern ment has at various times attempted, at. the expense of several millions of dollars, to rescue persons similarly imperiled, and sufh attempts have resulted in thosaerilice of a great number of lives, and imperiling a greater unmoor uf person th in were design ed to rescue; and Whebkas persons engaged in certain private pursuits are bettor fitted by training and habit to undertake such ^enterprises of rescuo than the soldiers and sailors of the United States army and navy may be: the-o fore.

We had been on the go for seven days and in that lime only saw tho sun for a part of one day. When wo left homo it was snowing and so continued until we reached central Illinois, then it was mist and sleet. Soon after crossing the Ohio river it b.igan to rain in earnest, and how it poured soon af'er our arrival at Jackson. The people told us that it nud rained everyday but one for eleven days, so you can judge of tho condition i he roads were in.

Wo have been received every where with cordial hospitality and have mixed freely with all classes getting passable information as (o lands, crops, church aud school privi legos, taxation, &c, all of which aro cheerfully furnished. At Nashville we saw much to interest and instruct us. From tho top of the state house the view is very fine, taking in a largo extent of country. The Columbia river, like all the southern rivers was out of its banltB, and it was said that about 300. buildings wero surrounded by water. Returning from Middle Tonnesee, when bn the platteau between the Cunber-land aud Tennossow rivers, a furious rain set in and continued until we reached MoKenzie. We then turned south west to Milan. For awhile the sun shone out bright and oloar. About 3 o'clock p. m. on tho 20th the wind began to blow from the Northwest and after a heavy shower of rain, it suddenly turned quite cold and we had quite a snow storm. From Milan we stinted south. Our first atop was at Holly Springs where we arrivod about four hours late; it is a nice town locatod, we are told, on tho highest land iu the state, between Cairo and New Orleans.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of the innovative "Poverty Stoplight" program developed by Fundación Paraguaya for women living in poverty. A "stoplight" measurement tool is used to help borrowers self-identify the type of poverty that affects them most (lack of income, dearth of financial opportunities, poor living conditions etc.). Borrowers rate 50 areas of their life as green (not poor), yellow (poor) or red (extremely poor). Together with their loan officer, they come up with a plan to resolve yellow and red indicators. Through this program, Fundación Paraguaya hopes to lift 9,000 women and their families out of poverty by 2017.
To learn more about this unique approach to eliminating poverty, you can read this article on Fundación Paraguaya's website.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Is there a way to force files that are created through a network share, or in a given folder, to be owned by a specific user (i.e., is there a native Windows equivalent of Samba's
force user).
Rationale: I have a server that runs a number of SQL Server 2008 instances for our internal development environments. Each instance runs as it's own service user, and each service user has a fixed quota - thus ensuring that if one SQL Server runs away with disk (for whatever reason), it won't keelhaul the server.
However some users need to be able to get backups on and off the server, so I have a number of file shares - one per instance - that point to the appropriate directory. As a result, files get created as the user copying the backup onto the disk, circumventing that instance's disk quota.
At the moment I'm working around it by forcing users to authenticate as the SQL Server service account. This isn't really ideal, but it's the best option I can find at the moment.
So ... is there a way to do this, or can anyone see any other solution that would achieve a similar effect?

Two icons, with the same name, "desktop.ini" have appeared on my desktop and
when I open it, this is what the larger one shows. The smaller one has only
one entry. I assume they are shortcuts although there is no indication that
they are.
Spider Solitaire.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\gameux.dll,-10061
Windows Explorer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22067
Windows Mail.lnk=@%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe,-225
What I think happened is that I put a number of programmes on the task bar,
immediately to the right of the Windows logo, and perhaps this is the
information as to the location of these programmes. Are these shortcuts and,
if so, can I delete them?
As I went back to check on the items, I also found another "desktop.ini"
file in my Documents Folder - it is different from the above two. What is
the proper location of these files?

Hugo Armando
With the aim of improving the family's living conditions he is seeking this loan from FUSAI, to invest in fixing up the floor of their living area, which needs to be filled in so that water does not seep in when it rains. He will use the loan to buy stone, cement, sand and gravel, in order to build a wall and then fill in and compact the ground area so that it will no longer flood.
Hugo de 52 años de edad vive en casa propia junto a su compañera de vida desde hace mucho tiempo. Hugo es un hombre muy trabajador quien con mucho esfuerzo ha logrado sacar adelante a su familia. Desde hace 7 años trabaja como jardinero en una empresa cercana a su localidad y de esa forma lleva el sustento a su hogar. Con el fin de mejorar sus condiciones habitacionales solicita este crédito a FUSAI para invertir en la reparación del piso ya que necesita un relleno para evitar que el agua se filtre cuando llueve. Con el crédito comprará piedra, cemento, arena y grava para levantar un muro y después rellenará el terreno compactando el piso así evitar que se siga inundando cuando llueve.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will be administered by FUSAI (Salvadoran Foundation for Comprehensive Development), a Salvadoran NGO that owns Kiva partner Apoyo Integral. FUSAI will disburse this loan in order to reach a population that doesn't currently work with Apoyo Integral. This type of loan covers basic services (like housing and water), and supports small business and agricultural activities. Borrowers come from low-income families in rural and peri-urban communities, and are considered to be too poor or lack the proper guarantees to get credit through traditional banks or microfinance institutions. Before receiving their loans, they are vetted by local community organizations and enrolled in classes in financial literacy, and the importance of sanitation, potable water and clean energy. Additionally, FUSAI enables borrowers to guarantee one another and take out loans smaller than El Salvador's average. Important to note is El Salvador is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world, holding the 2nd place in the ranking of murders per capita. All these FUSAI borrowers live in areas considered by the police as highly violent and dangerous, mainly because of gangs influence. Main risks they face in these areas are thefts, extortions, kidnappings and murders.
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Cisco, Security Researcher Settle Dispute
(AP) Cisco, Security Researcher Settle Dispute
By MATTHEW FORDAHL
AP Technology Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif.
Cisco Systems Inc. and a network security firm reached a settlement Thursday with a researcher who quit his job so he could deliver a speech on a serious flaw in Cisco software that routes data over the Internet.
Michael Lynn, who left his job at Internet Security Systems Inc. hours before his speech, agreed never to repeat the information he gave at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
He also must return any proprietary Cisco source code in his possession.
Cisco, the leading maker of Internet equipment, was supposed to join Lynn on stage. But the company and ISS changed course late last week and tried to cancel the session, going so far as to hire workers this week to yank pages from conference handouts and seek a court order.
The companies claimed the research was "premature" and would be presented at a later security conference. Lynn, however, said he felt obliged to report the problem before it was exploited in attacks that could endanger the Internet.
"Not to sensationalize, but it would be the digital Pearl Harbor we've heard about," Lynn said in an interview Thursday. "I felt it was the right thing to do for the country and for the national critical infrastructure."
The incident highlights the thorny issue of when to go public with a security problem. Security firms and computer vendors generally agree to do so when there's a patch -- or fix -- available.
But it's not always so simple. In the latest case, Lynn and other researchers at Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems discovered a technique that could allow someone to seize control of a Cisco router by exploiting a vulnerability in its operating system.
That flaw was patched in April, but it's possible that the same technique could be used to exploit other vulnerabilities in Cisco routers. Lynn said the technique also could lead to the creation of a worm that targets routers, particularly when coupled with an upcoming version of Cisco's operating system.
Cisco said it encourages independent security research but said in a statement that it felt Lynn's presentation "was presented prematurely and did not follow proper industry disclosure rules."
Chris Rouland, chief technology officer at ISS, said his company and Cisco agreed the research was premature. Rouland said Cisco did not pressure ISS.
But Lynn, who said it was never clear to him who was pressuring ISS, said it was important to get word out now.
Worms -- malicious programs that spread automatically -- are less likely in today's version of Cisco's operating system because the underlying software is different enough for each device. That will change in the next release, making it possible to attack a wide swath of routers without adjusting the malware for each unique configuration.
Such attacks, Lynn said, could modify routers en masse so that they cannot receive updates so they are always infected. Worse, attackers could erase instructions that tell the machine how to turn on.
"The purpose of doing this presentation was to prevent a worm from being made," he said.
His Las Vegas demonstration was stripped of any information that would lead anyone to figure out how the technique works, Lynn said.
He also said he decided to defy his employer because Cisco's operating system source code had been stolen and posted on a hacker Web site. Additionally, Lynn said, he has seen discussions of Cisco vulnerabilities posted on Web sites for Chinese hackers.
"Cisco has never told anybody that it was possible to take over one of their routers," Lynn said. "They fought that argument for a long time. You can see how far they're willing to go. I demonstrated it live on stage. That debate is over now."
Such information is one of the key points of the Black Hat conference, said organizer Jeff Moss. The event attracts thousands of computer security experts from business, academia and government.
"The point of the talk was to demonstrate there's a problem -- that you need to update all your software as soon as you can because of these types of problems," said Moss. "It wasn't a roadmap to world destruction."
As part of the settlement reached Thursday in San Francisco federal court, Black Hat also agreed to return any video of Lynn's presentation.
It's not clear why the decision to cancel the presentation was made only a few days before the conference was to begin. Moss said ISS first contacted Black Hat several weeks ago about the possibility of pulling presentation material from the handouts given to every attendee.
Until last week, ISS never followed through with a request to actually remove the material.
That changed when Cisco and ISS hired a team of temporary workers to yank about 20 pages from thousands of conference binders and replace compact discs with presentation materials.
"The speech had been vetted like two or three times through ISS's PR department. Everything was great, and ISS was contacting the media telling them to come see this talk," Moss said. "Then last Thursday or last Friday there was a total about-face on ISS's part."

The more than 700 CEOs that responded to the survey clearly showed they are concerned with human capital, innovation, and internal processes and policies to position them to get ahead in a slow economy, as opposed to dealing with external factors such as global political or economic risk. This webcast, which investigates how companies are seeking to meet the top human capital challenge, finds that the differences in the ways CEOs approach these challenges are sometimes surprising.

And I am Hers
We could hear her screaming from the other end of the hall on the maternity ward at the Saint Vincent's Hospital in Billings, Montana. "Help me! I'm not kidding! Help me!" she was yelling. She had been on the unit for five whole minutes, her husband had not even finished checking her in, and she was already giving birth. My wife and I had been there for eleven long coffee-drinking contraction-counting hours and still, it was all happening too fast for me.
Now, my wife will tell you, as many women will at times like this, she was the one needing the break. While I'm hardly one who would want to take anything away from the birthing experience, a person can only drink so much coffee before they have to go. And, I had to go.
"Hurry," was all Sarah, my wife, said.
I couldn't help but wonder as I left the room, looking at Sarah as she stroked her stomach with her hands, her head back, her eyes closed, as she breathed with those slow, sturdy, measured breaths, had my father gone through any of this? Was he there when I was born?
My father certainly wasn't there, as either a guiding force or an active participant, as I grew from boy to man. He decided early, I guess, that fatherhood was not the job for him. He drove a semi-truck and considered himself a sort of land sailor.
To hear him tell it, he had a girl in every city and town. He was a real man, making babies across the country and then moving on. He'd never be trapped in the rut of accountability.
I, however, was going to be a father. A father who would have had no model for the job if it hadn't been for Mr. Baker. He was my best friend Tommy's dad. He worked five days a week, sometimes six, loading crates for L and M Transfer company in Atlanta, Georgia. After his eight- to ten-hour day, he'd coach little league football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the summer. His teams seldom won, but every kid played. I suppose that was why so many nonathletic children like myself enjoyed playing for him.
"Did the contraction just start?" I asked as I returned to the room where my wife labored.
"Of course it's a contraction, asshole!" Sarah informed me. She didn't get the question right, but it didn't seem like the time to point this fact out to her.
"These contractions are hurting like hell. Do you think you can get someone in here?" she asked.
Sarah was contorting all over the bed, and my attempts at back rubs, breathing techniques, and humor were not helping. So, at her insistence, and with the total lack of nursing personnel in the room, I agreed to check on the baby's progress--my being an Emergency Medical Technician and all. She was crowning--our baby's head was visible and trying to push its way into the world--and Sarah was right, it was time to get a doctor in there.
"Doctor J says how's it coming?" our physician asked as he entered the room. He spoke the way he dressed: bright yellow shirts, orange pants, and blue ties with green dots. Between the third-person speech and the clown outfits, I never felt quite comfortable with him. Sarah, however, loved him.
"She's crowned, Doc," I said.
"How do you know?" he asked.
"I peeked," I said. I figured he had a right to know.
He peeked, too, and with a pat on Sarah's knee and a wink, he said, "It won't be long now."
"It won't be long now," I repeated without the slightest trace of a smile. We were going to have a child whether I was ready or not. Was I capable of being responsible for a life other than my own? God, what if my child was like me? My mother would think that was sweet justice.
When I was sixteen and only in the tenth grade, because of many violations of family rules and acts of violent disrespect, my mother evicted me from her house. She'd been raising four children on her own since I was five years old. Being the oldest, and perhaps the toughest child she had to deal with, I had pushed her too far in my disrespect and after a really long night, she had shown me the door. I was homeless, and found myself sleeping in laundromats, cars, or not at all. It was having an effect on me. I don't know what I would have done if it hadn't been for Mr. Baker.
He came out on his porch one evening while I was visiting Tommy. He walked over to the steps where I stood next to his son, lit his pipe with slow deliberate puffs, shook the match out, and leaned against the post. After a long pause, he said, "I've been talking to your mom."
"Yeah," I said.
"Seems you've been having trouble at home."
I didn't say anything. I just stood there staring at him. I could feel my teeth pressing against each other and my neck muscles tightening. He and my mother had been talking about me. That wasn't right. At least that's how I saw it back then.
He took another deep puff from his pipe and looked down at the steps. "How would you feel about living here?" he asked. "Now, before you answer you should understand a few things." He sat down on the steps and looked up at me; I avoided looking into his eyes. "You will have to pay me $25 a month rent, and you'll have to cut your job at McDonalds to half-time. You'll have to keep your room clean, do the chores I deem just and proper for you to do, keep your grades up at school, and in general behave the way I expect everyone in this family to behave."
I had only eaten what food I could steal from work that week, bathing was becoming a problem, and I liked this guy. "Fifteen a month," I said.
"Twenty-five," he said with just the slightest raise of the corners of his mouth.
Things went well for a week or two. I was keeping my end of the bargain and he was keeping his. It wasn't long, however, before I began to test my limits. I let the cleanliness of my room slip just a bit. I pushed curfew, and I missed school more often than not. I knew he wasn't stupid and that we would have to address this situation. "That room needs a little more work, Bud," or "I said ten o'clock, not ten-thirty," were not the kinds of things I was accustomed to responding to. He understood that.
One Friday evening after the football game with our cross-town rivals, I was sitting in the parking lot drinking beer with the bad boys when Mr. Baker drove up. He stopped his Ford Fairline on the other side of the parking lot, got out, and walked over to where we were leaning too cool against Bobby's Camaro and Mark's Mustang. He grabbed a beer out of the front seat of Bobby's car, then walked over and rested his rear on the hood of Mark's car, next to me, and opened up his twist-top.
"So, where are you going to sleep tonight?" he asked.
"I've been kicked out before."
"I suppose you have," he said as he took a drink from his bottle. He wiped his mouth on his shirt sleeve and continued, "But son, it doesn't have to be this way."
"I'm not your son," I said.
"No, you're not," he said. "But I am your friend."
We sat there for a long time drinking beer and not breaking the silence. The bad boys had moved over to Bobby's car and were now watching us. I kept waiting for him to say something. I don't really know what, but whatever it was, it was going to have to come from him.
"Well," he finally said. "If you find this isn't the life for you and you want to keep our agreement, stop on by."
"Stop on by? Is that it?" I wondered.
"Sure. We had an agreement."
"What about my being a minor? Aren't you going to make me do what's right?"
"No," he said, and he turned toward his car.
I stood and threw my bottle to the ground. Glass and beer exploded everywhre.
"What do you mean, 'No?'"
He stopped at his car door, turned, and said, "I mean that you're big enough to make your own decisions. If this is better than staying at my house, obeying my rules, then have at it." He took a deep breath and looked straight at me. "But, if you want more, or hope for more, or you just don't want to be cold tonight, and you can live with my restrictions, then come on home. It's completely up to you."
I never really understood what was going on inside me back then, that night or any other. I still don't. Nevertheless, I walked around to the other side of the car and got in the passenger seat without saying a word all the way home. I lived in his house, obeying his rules, until I graduated and joined the army. We had our problems during those two and a half years, but he and I always worked it out. Upon my graduation, he gave me back every penny I had paid in rent and five hundred more. "No one should leave home broke," he said.
"Well, how's Mrs. Parker doing?" an older nurse asked as she walked into our room.
"She's crowned," the junior nurse said.
"No, she's not," the senior nurse said without the benefit of checking, something Sarah picked up on right off.
"But the doctor said . . ." the junior nurse began.
"She is not crowned!" insisted the senior nurse with the nametag that read Nurse Conrad, Supervisor.
"I most certainly am crowned, and I hurt like hell! Get me that birthing chair, now!"
"Come on sweetie, it can't be that bad," Nurse Conrad said.
Now this response was a bad idea. If Sarah could have moved better and with less pain or restriction, I fear Nurse Conrad would have understood this more clearly. With a jerk of my sleeve, pulling me toward her, Sarah said, with gritted teeth, "John, get that nurse out of my room right now!"
I wasn't sure how to handle this. Sarah was wanting to push and this woman was insiting she wasn't ready to. We were at an impasse. Until a cart showed up, that is. Then it was just a matter of a grunt here and a curse word there, and Sarah was off the bed and onto the cart. Out one door, in through another, a couple more groans, and a few more words of expression, and she was in a chair designed for a woman in just such circumstances.
It looked like a space-aged pilot seat to me, complete with hand grips from which the weaponry might be fired. But suddenly, Sarah looked like she was in just the right position.
Before we could say pant, our child's head was out to the eyebrows and our nurse was out the door. I felt a little lonely there, and Sarah was in no mood to stop and debate the situation. As I decided to glove up with a pair of gloves I pulled from a box sitting on a table by the chair, I just couldn't help but wish Mr. Baker was there to give me some advice. But he was no longer living and I could not ask for his wisdom now.
Charles Mayhew Baker died on a Friday morning in October of 1979. According to his wife, Mary, he had eaten his breakfast--two eggs over easy and three strips of bacon--and laughed about a weekend trip the two of them were going to take with their best friends. He had told Mary how those dear friends would probably forget "their heads if they weren't attached to their shoulders," and then left for work at six-thirty that morning, just as he had on every work day of their married life. Mary washed the breakfast dishes, picked up around the house, and was getting ready to go to her job at the First State Bank when the phone rang. It was her husband's boss calling to tell her that her husband had not made it to work yet. She told him he had left already, that something must be wrong, and she would find him. It was eight-fifteen in the morning when Mary jumped into her car, pulled out of the driveway, took the first left, and saw his car idling at the stop sign. He was sitting at the wheel, his head leaning forward as if he was looking at something in his lap, his forehead was almost resting on the steering wheel, and his hands lay limp at his side. He fathered five children, worked the same job for seventeen years, and loved the same woman for far longer, and now he was gone.
When they buried him I watched his family grieve, and I understood how special it was to be loved so much by so many. More than 300 people attended his funeral. I stood with Tom and the two of us mourned our loss as brothers, and I knew that the man who created me would never know this from his children. I had just lost the only man in my life deserving of the title Father.
So, I was remembering Mr. Baker and praying Dr. J would get his third-person rear in there, when the good doctor did just that. As Sarah let out a loud scream, he yelled, "Doctor J says you better not push!" He said this as he ran through the door, around the chair, grabbed the tray with the equipment on it, made a quick clip, and said, "Now push." And with one loud grunt, we were declared parents.
My child was announced a girl, whisked off to the nursery--something about her color we were told--and Sarah took a deep breath. She was feeling fine now, her great pressure relieved. It was then agreed that I go to the nursery and attend to our child.
There she is, our first born. Her skin is so pale and wrinkled. Her hair is wispy and blonde. Her eyes are deep blue, her hands are too small, and she seems annoyed by the nurses' attention. She seems too small and fragile to be a living thing. The nurse wraps her in a blanket and tries to hand her to me. I am too terrified to hold her. I don't know what I would do if I harmed her or something. But I do hold her, and I am hers.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina archeologists are racing to uncover the remnants of a Civil War-era prisoner-of-war camp in Columbia before the site is cleared for commercial development.
The researchers have four months to excavate what was once known as "Camp Asylum." The Confederate camp held 1,500 Union officers during the winter of 1864-65 and was located on the grounds of a mental hospital.
Archaeologist Chester DePratter says the soldiers had little in the way of food or cover, so they dug holes in the ground to shelter themselves against the harsh weather.
Tours are being conducted to help bring attention and raise money for the archaeology project before a developer breaks ground on a mixed-use development.

Canadiens slip past Senators 5-4 in OT
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Carey Price made 40 saves and P.K. Subban scored the overtime winner and the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-4 Thursday night.
Subban scored 23 seconds into the extra period as his shot trickled through Craig Anderson's legs.
Tomas Plekanec scored twice and Max Pacioretty and David Desharnais also scored for the Canadiens, who defeated the Senators for the first time this season.
Clarke MacArthur, Erik Karlsson, Bobby Ryan and Kyle Turris scored for Ottawa. Anderson stopped 18 shots.
Trailing 4-3, the Canadiens caught a break on the tying goal midway through the third. Plekanec broke in alone and while Anderson made the initial save, defenseman Jared Cowen watched as the puck went in off his skate.

Our Great Inferiority Complex
This is an addendum of sorts to last week's column about New York City.
As I walked the crowded garbage-strewn streets of Manhattan and rode the hot-stink-steam-bath subways, it was easy to tell the tourists from the New Yorkers.
The tourists were the ones with eyes wide open, excited, a little bit afraid, rarely alone, always looking-looking-looking, either at something or away from...
Hot Times in a Dirty Old Town
Every year, Teresa and I spend a long weekend in Manhattan. We got married in New York four years ago right around Labor Day and always fly back for our anniversary.
New York is easy. Booking a flight is simple. The hardest (and most expensive) part is booking the hotel. With literally hundreds of options, it's a crap shoot. If you go cheap, you could end up in a bed-bug ridden shit hole...
What Price the Free Market?
"Would those 45 companies have been here in Nebraska without the investment credits?" asked Kearney Senator Galen Hadley, Chair of the Revenue Committee. "When you cut through everything, this is what you get to."
The Legislature's Revenue and Appropriations Committees met August 30 looking for the answer to a persistent question: Do Nebraska's business incentive programs work? If so, how...
Terry's Movement on Immigration
"Let me start with blending what I think will happen with where I am, personally."
As comprehensive immigration reform remains stalled by House Republicans after bipartisan passage in the Senate, Representative Lee Terry, Omaha's 8-term Republican congressman is back in Omaha on "break," with a jammed schedule of community events.
That includes a townhall meeting at Omaha South High School...
Lots of Action and a Little Talk
Even though it has been more than 30 years, Mark Hasebroock still remembers being told "no" as he entered First National Bank looking for employment in 1982. The unemployed Hasebroock, fresh out of college, plopped down in a chair at the bank and refused to leave until he was hired.
The business administration graduate from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln left with a job in commercial...

The Omaha World-Herald's Back (But only on Sundays)
Before I tell you why we began getting the Sunday Omaha World-Herald delivered to our door again, I first have to tell you why we stopped in the first place.
It was during the fall about four or five years ago. A long-time subscriber to the weekend OWH, one golden Sunday morning I walked to the end of my driveway and looked for the familiar orange delivery bag -- (a.k.a. "the poop bag") --...

Over the last few months, I've lost my passion for journaling. Things in my life have been sorta dramatic, and I just don't want to post all those icky details. I know I don't have to tell everything about myself, but those personal problems have just got me to feeling rather unmotivated to write anything at all. I am hanging with my best bud Anastasia, and she helps me get through the garbage and keep my spirits up. Not to mention I love my kids with every fiber of my being, and they always make me happy.
I mentioned before that I needed to get a job to solve one of my problems. Well, I got one. I got a job at our local middle school as the Registrar. I worked at a high school for 3 years, and I find the work enjoyable for the most part. I'm sure it will be a fun job and the pay is really, really good for this area. Not to mention the benefits and summers off. I will also get home at a decent time to still have late afternoons and evenings home with the boys.
Needless to say, I'm going through a major adjustment from being home full-time to working full-time. I think that I may take this opportunity to sign off from LiveJournal and focus on getting my life corrected. Not that I've been online much lately anyway, but it will be even more infrequent now that I'm working and then trying to have "quality" time with the boys when I get home.
I appreciate all the people here that I've met and will still peek in from time to time to read what you are all up to. Thank you all so much for your comments when things were good and unconditional support when I was feeling down. :)

Juvenile cancer patient receives new playset
Citizen Staff Reports 09/20/12
Play It Forward, the flagship program of Hampton Roads' Roc Solid Foundation, joined with Lowe's Home Improvement earlier this month to construct and present a playset to four-year-old acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient Eleanor Brooks of Henrico County.
The Play It Forward program has built 38 similar playsets for children with pediatric cancer throughout Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Tennessee. The two-day event for Brooks included a pre-build of the playset Sept. 7 in the parking lot of the Short Pump Lowe's, followed the next day by the completion of the project at Brooks home in western Henrico. She returned home with her family to find the surprise in their backyard.
Eric Newman, a pediatric cancer survivor himself (pictured at right with Brooks), founded the Roc Solid Foundation in 2008. Since that time, the organization has constructed 38 playgrounds, through funding generated by personal contributions, sponsorships and annual fundraising events.
"We try to provide hope through the chaos of going through the treatments, for both the families and the child," Newman said. "The one thing a child doesn't have to be taught is how to play, and it's an important part of their childhood we don't want them to miss."

Let me start by saying with what time I've had with it, Tearaway is an infectiously charming little Vita game that seems perfect for pocket play.
More than just a LittleBigPlanet spiritual spin-off, Tearaway harkens back to platformers of yore and restores the nostalgic magic of such classic gameplay designs while bringing them into the modern day with an endearing papercraft theme centered on creation and sharing, unique humour and pure unadulterated fun that only Media Molecule could ever pull off.
But how does it differ from its yesteryear inspirations? Well, by literally tearing down the fourth wall.
In Tearaway, you have a direct connection to the real world. As a "You", your giant face looks down from the sun (through the PS Vita's front camera) into the world of Tearaway as an acknowledged, omniscient being. Even the two witty narrators who describe the story cheekily reference what's been done before and their desires for something new – and "You" is the ingredient needed to change up the formula.
For some reason or another, you share a special connection with a messenger of Tearway's colourful, creative papercraft world. The messenger – referred to as either an Iota or Atoi depending on your gender – is fully customisable, but the poor guy can't even jump on his own in the begnning!
He or she ultimately needs your help, and you offer your outer-worldly services by crossing over in a limited capacity. In this instance, Media Molecule makes full use of the Vita's unique features – the touchscreen, rear touchpad and camera – in ways that feel creative and natural and which offer genuine, unique interactivity as opposed to incorporating them just because.
For instance, my cute little Iota was ambushed by a wave of aggressive 'scraps' – nasty little enemies that resemble origami gone wrong – and he couldn't fight them off on his own. By using the Vita's rear touch-pad, I was able to smack the baddies away and witness my fingers pierce the paper floor beneath them, sending the scraps soaring into the skies. A few persistent buggers found themselves stuck on the Vita's front screen, and I almost felt bad for swatting them off with a touch of the front-screen.
You tell me you wouldn't want to help such a cute little (papery) guy.
Seeing my grateful little buddy safe and needing help to traverse over a ravine prompted me to push a few bridges his way with another touch of the rear touch-pad. This led to a colourful papery present at the end of the path, which also required a few light touch on the Vita's touchscreen to open.
Exploring the papery world of Tearway is an absolute joy and is probably an origami-lover's dream. The environments are colourful, its inhabitants are quirky and the music is infectiously upbeat. The first level also had many colourless objects that when captured with the in-game camera, can be used as a real downloadable papercraft print from the official Tearaway website, which is an awesome extra touch to the experience.
The two levels I got to play have a ton of standard collectibles in the form of confetti to collect – these are used to purchase papery accessories and features to customise your messenger – as well as secret gifts, optional quests, and more. I've said it before, but it's quite refreshing to have fun creating and jumping around a colourful world rather than another game centered on conflict, and in this aspect Tearaway is a welcome respite from the domination of GTA V and Killzone: Mercenary in the last few weeks.
Tearaway's papercraft customisation is just as in-depth as LittleBigPlanet's sticker systems.
Perhaps the coolest bit of the preview was a quirky little beaver who needed my help in crafting him a crown. Many characters apparently require your assistance to craft some new papery creations, and the game shifts to a virtual cutting board with a variety of options to cut and create various shapes and objects, detail them with layers and decorate them with all manner of things.
The Vita's touch system works well here – Media Molecule and Sony's first party studios always know how to integrate it best – and while I'm not the most creative gamer in the world, cutting out a crown and pasting it on top of the beaver's head and watching him wear my creation proudly was just plain awesome.
Just like with LittleBigPlanet, Media Molecule have got a real treat for gamers who want a fun platformer with extensive customisation and an emphasis on creation and sharing. While the PS4 is on its way and may take up the spotlight this month, remember to check out Tearaway and find out why it's a must-buy Vita exclusive.
