St. John's Lutheran Church and School's Live Nativity will include a canned food drive, according to Mary Johnson, chairperson of the event. "Our community has the opportunity to share the blessings we have with others who are in need," Johnson said. "I hope there will be a generous outpouring of donations of canned goods to stock the shelves during the Christmas season." The canned foods collected will benefit the ICCM Food Bank of Stuttgart. The Live Nativity is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, and 6-8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, at St. John's Lutheran School, 2019 S. Buerkle St. in Stuttgart.

The entrance to the Live Nativity will be at the north entrance of the school. Cars will exit at the south driveway. The collection box for canned goods will be located near the exit of the Live Nativity. The Live Nativity is open to the public and admission is free. "The Live Nativity is St. John's gift to the community. We hope everyone will come and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with us," Johnson said.

I'm trying to get Confluence wiki running on my Debian box inside Tomcat. Now, I've never used Tomcat before so I really don't understand a lot of it. Here's my setup:
Debian Lenny 5.0
Tomcat 5.5.26-5
Open jdk openjdk-6-jre
all installed with apt
Tomcat itself works and I can view the admin and manager screens, but when I try to start the confluence app, the logs say:
Oct 6, 2009 1:00:00 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Oct 6, 2009 1:00:00 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/confluence] startup failed due to previous errors
Great help :(
I have in my /var/lib/tomcat5.5/conf/Catalina/localhost directory a file named confluence.xml with the following
<Context path="/confluence" docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5.5/atlassian/confluence-3.0.1/confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true">
and the confluence dir as specified in that context. Tomcat sees it in the manager, but can't start it.
My server.xml contains the following connector:
<Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
Which I think is pretty standard. My question is, why can't I see any more info in the logs? How can I get a more specific logging for this app. The Tomcat docs say that a Logger directive inside this context is no longer valid. but telling me "because of previous errors" doesn't really help. Also, if anyone has any tips on setting up Confluence, I'm all ears

Operation Elveden: Serving police officer arrested
09:24 01 February 2013
A serving police officer has been arrested as part of an investigation into allegations of inappropriate payments to police and public officials.
The 33-year-old was arrested at around 5.45am today at his house in Barnet on suspicion of misconduct in a public office, contrary to Common Law.
He is being interviewed at a north London police station and a search of his property is being conducted.
Scotland Yard said today's arrest is the result of information provided to police by News Corporation's Management and Standards Committee. It relates to suspected payments to a police officer and is not about seeking journalists to reveal confidential sources in relation to information that has been obtained legitimately.
The arrest is the 59th in Operation Elveden, the Met Police's inquiry into allegations of inappropriate payments to police and public officials. It is being supervised by the Independent Police Complaints Commission and is running in conjunction with Operation Weeting, the Metropolitan Police Service's phone-hacking inquiry.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – The Lil Wayne, Young Money lawsuit over the hit "BedRock" became rocky last week when a new man came forward seeking to join the suit, only to step away hours later. Lil Wayne, Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal are being sued by Done Deal Enterprises in the US District Court, Southern District of New York. As detailed extensively on LALATE since last year, the case has proceeded without any major twists. But that changed days ago when a new man came forward seeking to join the alleged copyright infringement lawsuit against Lil Wayne. Then, hours later, he backed out.
In a letter obtained by LALATE, Gerald Tanksley on August 10 asked Lil Wayne's trial judge if he could intervene (join) the lawsuit against the Lil Wayne defendants as a new plaintiff. Tanksley's Park Avenue attorney wrote Judge John F. Keenan on August 10 asking permission to join the case (of Done Deal Enterprises, LLC v. Carter et al) as a new plaintiff.
"Your Honor – I represent Gerald Tanksley, a non-party who seeks leave to intervene as a Plaintiff-Intervenor in the above-referenced matter… We respectfully request You Honor order the Clerk to permit Mr. Tanksley to file the Motion to Intervene by endorsing this letter as indicated below."
On page two of the letter obtained by LALATE, Judge Keenan endorsed the document, permitting Gerald Tanksley to join, as of August 13, 2012.
Suddenly, twenty-four hours later, Tanksley withdrew his request. "On August 14, 2012, the court received a letter from … counsel to non-party Gerald Tanksley indicating that Mr. Tanksley has withdraw his proposed motion to intervene", Judge Keenan noted.
No further detail was offered by Tanksley why he intended to sue the defendants over BedRock, sought permission from the Court, got it, and then withdrew his request before joining the case. Done Deal and the defendants head to settlement discussions this October 1, 2012.

I'm trying to backup a MSSQL server from linux. I'm able to connect to the server using tsql (from the freetds project), and I'm even able to backup the database on the server using the backup database command, but I haven't been able to download this backup onto the machine I'm using to connect to the MSSQL server. If this was a mySQL server, I could download a backup of the database using mysqldump. Is there something similar I can do for an MSSQL server in linux?
This question on SO suggests a possible approach: Dump your data from MSSQL into MySQL. Then you can use the MySQL tools you're familiar with.
There are several suggested methods for the MSSQL -> MySQL dump, so get to take your pick.
You cannot use mysql client to connect to mssql server. MSSQL is a Windows based SQL database service while MySQL is a different protocol altogether and MSSQL is a different protocol altogether. It is the TDS protocol that seperates the both of them. If you want to connect to MSSQL service from a tool on Unix, then there are bunch of them. You can use FreeTDS, PyMSSQL, ODBC/JDBC approach.
If you are looking for some ready made approach tools then there are few I know:
Take a look at them.
mysqldump utility supports database backup files to the local disk location, but mssql or sybase do not seem to offer this flexibility directly. In MSSQL, however one can write the database backup files to UNC paths like network shares, which are otherwise can be called as remote filesystem path mounted locally on the mssql database server. There is a support ftp as well directly from the
If it is ftp, it would be simple, since ftp administration is completely local and you can restrict the upload path in the ftp filesystem area. You need not worry of samba joining/AD user requirements and all. Just ftp service as pure network location with perhaps, security permissions enforced. BTW, make sure your dumps are secured, if it is production, I would be doubly sure to make them secure :-)

Wednesday Press Conference Quotes
Opening Statement:
"It's exciting to be one of the 12 teams here competing for the championship. I can't think of a better place to compete; we're looking forward to this fantastic atmosphere that Athens has to offer. We've had a great postseason and competing here gives us the opportunity to get better and better. Our goal is to enjoy every minute left with this incredible group of girls."
On having the 2007 NCAA Nationals experience:
"Having basically the same group competing here as last year really helps give the team confidence because we know exactly what to expect. We have a great chance to challenge for the title. We're just really excited to be here."
"We are very excited to be here for the 26th consecutive time. I feel that qualifying for nationals this year is just as exciting as qualifying 26 years ago. We have a wonderful team this year, who have all been through a lot of trials and tribulations, but they stuck together and shown how talented they are to be here"
"We started pretty consistent, but once we headed out to California we struggled. We had to sit down and talk about a lot of things, change our goals, and write new ones down. I love the team that we have. We get along inside the gym and out of it, and I am excited"
"This is our second time being here and we are excited with the opportunity. This entire season we have been on a mission. They are an exciting group of ladies who are very driven and have given 100% this entire season. I am proud to be back this year with this group"
"The last time we were here we were underdogs and not expected to make it through our regional and into nationals. This year is a different team with different expectations and we have shown everyone that we deserve to make it"
"We're just excited to be here at the championship and especially thrilled to be here at UGA where there is an excellent tradition. This is our second year qualifying for the national championship. This year we've trained better and we're stronger and more focused. We're looking forward to going out there and doing what we know we can."
"It's pretty much the same pressure here with your team as it is competing individually. We have the same support of the team and the coaches. I'm doing the sport that I love so there's no pressure. I'm just ready to go out there and do the best I can."
"First I would like to comment on the beautiful facility. We are thrilled to be here and we want to thank UGA. It is wonderful to be up on this podium in this championship atmosphere. We have been training very well since our regional meet. Physically and menatally we are as fresh as we have been all year, which is a change from years past, and we feel ready."
"After a meet I just try to get back to the gym and work on the small details and try to pick up 10ths here and there. We did a lot of pressure sets this year in the middle of practice to try to create a competitive atmosphere to get ready and focused."
"This is the 4th championship we've hosted here and it feels great. I'm a big perfectionist but our staff is amazing and it's been great to get a chance to relax. It's given us a chance to focus on our academics and resolve any distractions that might arise, because that can happen hosting here at home. We're ready, we're peaking now, and this is the time that every coach likes to peak. Our conference and individual goals were reached, and our goals are going to culminate here in Athens.
"Us seniors couldnt ask for more. When we won our first national title in 2005, I couldn't imagine looking back at winning three. We're going for four and it's so special here at home. It's very exciting here, we have our home crowd, and I just could not ask for anything more."
"We are very excited to be back here an an SEC school for the championships. We are glad to be able to come back and compete. We have had a methodical season. We are a young team but we have progressed, improved and gotten stronger each week. We are more consistent in our preparation and in competition and we are coming off of an exciting experience at regionals."
"After each meet I try to focus on the little things I did wrong, I am by no means perfect. I just try to focus on consistency and improving on the little things each week."
"I would first like to thank UGA for hosting this championship. It has moved to a lot of different places but the hospitality here has been amazing. We are thrilled to be here and feel that we have a chance to do something. We have had a great year this year following last season's injuries. We have had great depth and consistency, and we are confident in what we are capable of doing."
"This team has been amazing. Our chemistry is incredible. Everyone is committed 100% to what we are doing in and out of the gym. I think that has helped everyone with their progress and allowed us to have a great year."
"We feel very fortunate to be here. We are healthy, and we have been for the past two years, which has been a big part of our success. The team has come together in terms of chemistry, and things seem to be falling into place. Our Big 12 experience was exciting and we had a great time. We have been working hard to get where we need to be. We hope to be able to put it together we and have a great meet."
"Going to the World Championships was a great experience. I am now having a lot of fun with collegiate gymnastics. It is a lot different, it's so much more team oriented. I am glad to be able to bring my experience to the table and I hope to contribute and make my scores count."
"Our team has worked tremendously hard and have tried to build on last season's success. We were the runner-up in the Pac 10 this year and we had a great West region meet. It has been an honor to work with these young women. They are driven and enthusiastic. We hope to come in this weekend and continue to build on the exciting things we were able to do last weekend."
"This is a team that has built on our success each year. We have a great opportunity now and we are ready to take the next step and make the Super Six. I can't wait until tomorrow night's competition."
"It's great to be back in Athens. We had a fun time when we were here just a few weeks ago, and we're glad to be back and compete against the best teams in the country. There have been many bumps in the road for us this year, but the trials and tribulations are what makes this so fun. It shows the character of your team, and I'm thrilled for the championship and to turn over a new leaf. We're working out the small details, but we plan on still competing Friday night."
"I'm very excited to be here at the NCAA's. I've been dreaming of this my entire career, and when I entered college, I couldn't imagine having just three days left. We've had a lot of injuries, but also some great moments and great rotations and when you put it all together we can change the game."
"We are very happy to be here, and we had a very good season. Our team is determined and they are a close group. We did not choose a captain this y ear because we wanted everyone to take part in becoming leaders. They have done a great job of doing that and the result has been a very consitent year. We feel that we are in a good place and we hope to have a great weekend."
"I think my decision to go to Utah was a really good one. I don't think I could be any happier anywhere else. I am very thankful for Greg and for my teammates. They have allowed me to grow as a person and an athlete. Whether we win the championship or not, it was a great decision to come to Utah."

He holed a bunker shot on No. 9, his last hole, to get back even this afternoon."Bauman led NIU in both rounds on Friday, firing an opening 77 before recording an even-par 72 in his second round of the day. Bauman had a very steady second 18 holes has he recorded 10 pars and third birdies, including red figures on each of his final two holes of the day.

BYU football: No longer a football novice, Ziggy Ansah has NFL potential
Ansah started out on special teams, and then learned how to play with the defense.
"I thought he could become something special," said Tidwell. "There were times when you'd see bits and pieces and say, 'Wow.' On kickoff cover, for example, he could not be blocked. He's run over two or three people getting down field. He didn't always make the play, but he was fast and physical and tough and nobody could block him. Then you put him in the game and he'd make a mistake. Then other times you'd think, 'This kid is going to be special.' It was a growing period."
Last spring, Mendenhall mentioned "NFL" and "Ansah" in the same sentence, prompting skeptical reactions from some reporters and fans. Ansah was expected to be a backup outside linebacker when the season started, but due to some injuries on the defensive line, he has found a home there. Through six games, Ansah has 27 tackles, including 8.5-for-loss, three sacks and three pass breakups.
So far this fall, Ansah seems to be proving he has the ability to play after college.
Invariably, people compare Ansah's story to the movie "The Blind Side," which chronicles the improbable rise of Michael Oher from homeless kid that didn't know much about football to first-round NFL draft pick.
Among the obvious differences, of course, is that Oher protects quarterbacks. Ansah devours them.
Ezekiel Ansah's football journey began when he joined the LDS Church at age 19.
An LDS family that he knew in Ghana encouraged him to listen to the missionaries and he did. Ansah was impressed with the family, their good moral values and their unity.
After three or four months, Ansah chose to be baptized, though some in his family opposed that decision.
"It wasn't easy joining the Church," he said. "My siblings weren't too happy with me. My parents just told me if I thought it was right for me, I should do it."
Ansah wanted to come to the United States and go to college. The missionaries who taught him asked what his career plans were. He told them he wanted to play in the NBA, like his favorite player, LeBron James.
In Ghana, Ansah loved basketball and played for Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School.
"You want to play in the NBA?" the missionaries asked. "You're in the wrong place. You need to go to BYU."
The missionaries helped Ansah submit his application papers to BYU, and he was accepted.
Even before he tried out for the track and football teams, Ansah tried out for the BYU basketball team twice. He was cut twice, but he made an impression, recording a vertical leap of 39 inches. Ansah reportedly can touch the rim with his elbow.
"Obviously, that didn't work out too good for me," Ansah said of his hoops tryout. "I love the sport, but it didn't work out. There's a good reason why they didn't choose me."
Apparently, he was destined to play football instead.
Yet Ansah is not just your average jock. He is majoring in actuarial science with a minor in math.
"He's a very brilliant student, a really smart kid," said Myles-Mills. "I asked him how he did in school one semester and he said he had a 3.3 or 3.4 GPA and he said he didn't do very well. He's very ambitious. He wants to do well in school. That is No. 1 for him."
Ansah learned to speak English in Ghana, and he also speaks Twi and Fante, two local Ghanaian dialects. His favorite food is fufu and peanut butter soup, a Ghanaian delicacy.
Those who know him describe him as quiet and fun-loving.
"He's a very funny kid," said Myles-Mills. "He looks very serious when he's coming at you. He's like a big teddy bear — really tough on the outside, soft on the inside. That's the humility that comes with his attitude."

Junior David Sender (Arlington Heights, IL/Buffalo Grove) of the Stanford men's gymnastics team was selected as the MPSF and NCAA Gymnast of the Week for the week of Mar. 5- Mar. 11.
Sender helped the team to a victory over No. 2 Penn State and No. 9 Iowa on his way to capturing the All-Around title. The junior co-captain claimed victories on the floor exercise (9.60) and the vault (9.20), while also taking second on the still rings (9.60). Sender recorded a season high score of 55.55 on the six events to claim the All-Around title. Sender is now the national leader on vault and is second in the All-Around.
Sender and the rest of the Stanford men's gymnastics team return to action on Saturday, Mar. 31 for the MPSF Championships in Berkeley, CA.

ZF2-409: After upgrading from beta4 to beta5 the S3 service stopped working
After upgrading from beta4 to beta5 the S3 service stopped working: all the operations (for example, getBuckets) leads to an error in the response of the service: 'The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.'
In beta4 it works.
I've checked the difference between beta4 and beta5 and found the calculating of signature was changed in addSignature method of S3 class.
In beta4 it was:
$signature = base64_encode(Hmac::compute($this->_getSecretKey(), 'sha1', utf8_encode($sig_str), Hmac::OUTPUT_BINARY));
In beta5 it is:
$signature = base64_encode(Hmac::compute($this->_getSecretKey(), 'sha1', utf8_encode($sig_str), true));
Could you please explain why the last argument of Hmac::compute was changed in this way? Or if it was made by mistake could you roll back this?

|The nefarious role of NO in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease stems from the excessive production and labile nature of NO. The mechanisms of NO redox signaling through protein post translational modification is ill-defined in the neurodegenerative model. S-nitrosylation, which can be an intermediary step leading S-glutathionylation of proteins has emerged as a well characterized mechanism through which NO reversibly regulates cell function. However, there is little evidence concerning the regulation of S-glutathionylation of proteins by NO, which proteins are glutathionylated in neurons during nitrosative stress, and the consequence of glutathionylation of proteins on overall cellular and mitochondrial function. Therefore, the hypothesis to be tested is that nitric oxide generated during neuroinflammation leads to changes in cellular redox status and protein post translational modification which play a role in energy impairment leading to neuronal injury.; Our results indicate that acute exposure of neurons to NO, mirroring neuroinflammation, led to increase formation of ONOO-, oxidation of the cellular redox environment and the formation of S-glutathionylated proteins. Exposure to exogenous NO also resulted in an alteration of cellular redox status through the formation of intracellular GSNO and GSSG. Autoxidation of mitochondrial electron chain components elicited by NO resulted in the formation of a substantial portion of ONOO- in the inter membrane space and outside of mitochondria due to the release of O2.- from mitochondria even in the presence of NO. Hence, this increase in ROS and RNS formation by mitochondrial could modulate mitochondrial redox status by oxidizing GSH. Increasing concentrations of GSNO and GSSG formation as a consequence of NO exposure correlated with S-glutathionylation of proteins. Glutathonylation of GAPDH, a key glycolytic enzyme, led to significant inhibition of its activity. Mitochondrial energy substrate appear important for maintaining mitochondrial GSH and cellular viability as .NO mediated neurotoxicity was attenuated by the addition of a variety of mitochondrial energy substrates such as pyruvate, malate and beta-hydroxybutyrate. These observations delineate a potential mechanism through which increase .NO production, a key event in neurodegeneration, could potentially lead to protein S-glutathionylation and neuronal dysfunction seen inneurodegenerative diseases such as Friedreich's ataxia and Alzheimer's disease.

Modern paddle holster will all be equally comfortable; though I'd question any benefit of "padding the paddle". The original benefit of moving from these old-fashioned original paddles:

to the modern ones, such as the one used by Aker and Elite Systems (authorised) and even Brigade (not):
Nichols ConTour paddle (6).jpgbrigade_by_nichols_copy (2).jpg
was RETENTION inside your waistband; note the original required a strap around the belt to stay in place, whereas contemporary ones use barbs moulded into the paddle. Most, including the Fusion version, are knockoffs of my original design (configuration trademark) (shown in the pic above) or another version I invented (patented) for DeSantis:

In summary, go with the contoured, injection moulded paddles with at least two barbs on the outer edges.

Watermelon and Feta Salad with Chopped Vegetables
Adapted from Bon Appetit
I'm so in love with the new Bon Appetit, I am forgiving the fact that they used the cringe-worthy word "veggies" in their initial title.
Serves at least four
1 pound Campari or plum tomatoes, diced, drained
1 1/2 cups diced seeded watermelon
1 large green bell pepper, seeded, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1/2 large English hothouse cucumber, seeded, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
1/2 cup very thinly sliced radishes
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
10 ounces feta cheese, cut into small cubes (about 2 1/2 cups),
2 divided green onions, chopped, divided
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh mint leaves, divided
1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Toss first five ingredients and two tablespoons oil in large bowl. Add half each of cheese, green onions, and mint. Mix remaining cheese, green onions, mint, and oil in processor; add yogurt and oregano. Process just to blend (do not over-mix or dressing will get thin). Season dressing with salt and pepper; mix into salad.

It would seem that the folks in Florida either have an incredibly forgiving mindset or a ridiculously short memory. On Tuesday, a local Florida station, WFTV Channel 9, reported that George Zimmerman has been hired as a security guard in a central Florida store.
The store, Pompano Pat's in DeLand, Florida, is a gun and motorcycle emporium (so you know it's high class) that caters to the Orlando area. The store's owner, Pat Johnson, is best known for getting robbed while he was running for mayor on a pledge to lower crime. In other words, Johnson has clearly demonstrated that his ability to understand irony is virtually nil. At least, that's the only way to explain why he'd hire George Zimmerman as a freaking security guard.
For those of you who don't exist in this world, George Zimmerman's super power is unquenchable rage and a misplaced sense of justice. In 2012, he rose to notoriety after shooting and killing an unarmed teenager. Zimmerman still claims the tragedy was self-defense and that he was simply doing his civic duty. On this point, Zimmerman was totally correct, assuming that shadowing and assaulting a black kid who's just trying to get home is in the purview of the Neighborhood Watch … wait, you mean it's not?
Okay, okay, that's a hotly debated case, and there are several people (idiots) who buy Zimmerman's story about a scary urban youth. Need more proof that the guy shouldn't be trusted with either a) security or b) firearms of any kind? How about the five (count 'em, five) times last year he had run-ins with the law. In two of those instances police were called to Zimmerman's girlfriend's home because he was waving a gun around and threatening to shoot people. It was probably all just a misunderstanding, though, Zimmerman was probably trying to give a lesson in gun safety. I'm told lessons in gun safety often involve punching elderly men in the face.
Zimmerman is currently working at Pompano Pat's as a security guard, and this reporter has just set up a Google News Alert for "gun violence, DeLand, Florida". Just wait.

Oct. 7, 2010
The Stanford women's cross-country team won four NCAA titles in five year from 2003-07. The following season, the Cardinal began to lose most of the team to graduation and have had to rebuild around a new crop of talent. The young team appears ready to take the next step this season around athletes like Stephanie Marcy, who is in her fourth season on The Farm as a redshirt junior.
Marcy was Stanford's top runner at last year's NCAA Cross Country Championships and followed that up with an outstanding track season where she earned All-America honors in the 10,000 meters.
The native of Sequim, Washington, took a few moments to answer some questions from gostanford.com. Her answers include her unique summer training in Europe and her favorite trails back home.
GoStanford.com: Why do you love to run?
Marcy: It makes me happy! And it's the only sport I'm coordinated enough to do.
GoStanford.com: What is your favorite place to run?
Marcy: Robin Hill Park in Sequim, Washington.
GoStanford.com: Talk a little bit about your summer training. Where were you for most of your training? What types of runs did you do? What are your main goals with summer training?
Marcy: My summer training was a bit spotty due to an injury left over from the outdoor track season. My main goals were just to get healthy and build a strong base. After NCAAs I took a few weeks completely off and then during the month of July tried to start running a couple times but ended up needing more recovery until I was completely healthy in the beginning of August. By the time I was running consistently I was traveling through the Alps with a Stanford Archaeology team. The altitude hit me hard but the breathtaking views of the mountains made it worth the struggle. Most of my runs during those two weeks in the Alps were obviously hill runs. Any running I did in July was mostly in Rome along the Tiber River while trying to avoid eye contact with sketchy Italian men. Besides fighting the heat in Italy, I ran into other obstacles such as getting extremely lost on ancient twisting streets, trying not to trip on dislodged cobblestones and ignoring the disapproving glares of nuns at my running shorts.
GoStanford.com: You had a great track season, how does that increase your confidence for cross country this year?
Marcy: Knowing that I can handle that level of competition and do well at it definitely gives me the confidence to shoot for high goals this season. Being All-American in cross country now seems possible.
GoStanford.com: What are your team and individual goals for this cross-country season?
Marcy: We want to be a podium team at NCAAs and win Pac-10s. As for me, I want to be All-American and top-10 at Pac-10s and Regionals.
GoStanford.com Why did you choose Stanford?
Marcy:It is the best of both worlds with its athletics and academics. It was dream to come here when I first saw it when I was 11 years old.
GoStanford.com: What is your major and what are your plans after school?
Marcy: I am a Classics Major and am planning on attending law school.

Chiang Kai Shek College is now one of the country's top flight high school teams.
After several missed chances, the Blue Dragons finally claimed the championship that mattered most to them by winning the Passerelle division of the recent BEST Center-organized, Milo-sponsored
National Twin Tournaments at the University of the Assumption gym in San Fernando, Pampanga.
With John Vincent Gallego at the helm and the alumni, led by former coach Sunny Co, cheering them on all the way, the Blue Dragons came through with a decisive second quarter run to score a resounding 79-50 win over University of San Carlos of Cebu City.
The title win not only underscored Chiang Kai Shek College's dominance in the tournament but it also proved that the Blue Dragons are now one of the "Big Boys" in the country.
Coach Goldwyn Monteverde attributed their success to their new-found confidence which they gained by seeing action in the Philippine Secondary School Basketball Championship (PSSBC) , a tournament dubbed as "Battle of Champions".
It was a fitting follow-up to their title conquest in the Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball League – the foremost Fil-Chinese basketball tournament in the country.
Monteverde was also grateful to the all-out support of the alumni, saying: "Without them, we can't put up a solid program. They have been with us through the years, providing us morale and financial support."
Gallego led the Blue Dragons with 22 points, including back-to-back triples that sparked a vicious 12-2 run for a 27-17 advantage, a lead they wisely and valiantly protected.
They opened their campaign in devastating style by hacking out a 90-75 win over Luzon champion Angeles University Foundation then crushed Mindanao titlist Ateneo de Davao, 81-55, to forge a title showdown with the Visayas champions.

I am very thankful that since Standard 2, Alycia has been assigned very dedicated class teachers. Ms L was Alycia's class teacher from Standard 2 through Standard 4. She was one of the best teachers in the school. Towards the end of last year, Alycia was telling me that she really hoped that Ms L would continue to be her class teacher. Though Ms L is a very firm and strict teacher, she is nonetheless very caring and has all the qualities of a 5-star teacher.
I was really disappointed when Alycia told me at the start of the school term this year that Ms L is now teaching another elite class. Her new class teacher is Ms Y, who was the class teacher of the first elite class in Standard 6 last year. There are 2 elite classes for each standard in the school and if Ms Y was the teacher for the first elite class in Standard 6, she must really be the cream of the crop in that school. On hearing that, my hope was raised and boy was I happy to know that Alycia has another 5-star class teacher, woohoo!
A few weeks ago, when I was at the night market with Alycia, we bumped into Ms Y, Alycia's class teacher. We chatted a bit and I could gauge that she is another very dedicated and caring teacher. And I was right! Alycia can now do revisions on her own without my constant nagging and reminders! There is a 'watchdog' helping me to monitor her all the time and she can't escape from her grips muahaha!
Ms Y would use her own money to buy 'expensive cakes' (that's what Alycia said LOL!) to treat her students in her class for celebrations. She would also use her own money to buy gifts for her students as incentives.
Throughout Alycia's four years of primary schooling in this school, I have never seen how hardworking like she is now. In the past, revisions done were a result of me nagging her to no end. Now, revision is a daily routine for her, done without me telling her. Before Alycia hits the sack, she will go through her books every night. I know that all these are fueled by Ms Y, through lots of pep talks, motivation as well as 'threats'.
Ms Y would throw surprise mini tests to her class several times in a week. In Alycia's note pad last night, I saw a handwritten note on some marks -- 80% - 85% along with some Chinese words. I asked her what it was and she told me that this is just one of Ms Y's goals for her class. Should anyone in the class get below 80% - 85% in any of the subjects that Ms Y teaches, which includes Math and Science in Chinese, the unlucky one would get 2 'gifts' from Ms Y, which is 2 work books on that said subject. The student would have to complete the 2 workbooks before the next quarterly exam!
I know that some of you may think that this 'Tiger Teacher' method of instilling fear in kids is not appropriate but I am ALL for it, 100% for it. This teacher has been producing straight As students and ASEAN scholarship recipients too. I am not placing hope that Alycia would get an ASEAN scholarship for I know her limits. All I am hoping is for Alycia to get a dedicated, responsible and caring teacher to nurture my child and to propel her to achieve good results. Don't get me wrong. Alycia is not terrified of her teacher. She loves this teacher and Ms L, her previous class teacher. She loves to attend school. I think she has been blessed with the right teachers :)

The lure of the open road gets stronger when the kids get out of school. Having just celebrated the 4th of July and with warm weather and time off from work here for the next two months, it's time to pack up the family car and head out for parts unknown. Here are some simple and inexpensive things you can do to help make the miles filled with smiles.
Examine Your Tires: Even though many cars these days have tire pressure monitors and all new BMWs have run-flat tires, your tires can suffer road hazards and leave you stranded on the side of the road. Nails, screws, staples, even stray pieces of scrap metal can puncture today's steel belted radials. If the nail in your tire is small enough, the loss of pressure will be slow - maybe not detectable until you are miles from home and your local tire expert. The easiest thing to do is get down on all fours and look at your tires. I like to run my hand around the surface of my tires, feeling for anything stuck in the tread. If you can get help from a friend or family, have your assistant SLOWLY roll the car forward or backward while you look CAREFULLY at the tread for nails or other bad things. If you see something, don't pull it out because the tire could go flat immediately. Best to drive to a good tire store and have the tech pull the thing out and repair the leak.
If you don't see any potential problems, check your pressures with a good tire gauge (best to do in the morning before driving so the tires are cold). Inside the driver side door you'll find a sticker that gives the manufacturer's recommended tire pressures. Don't go too much over those numbers but if you have to err, being a few pounds higher won't hurt.
If your tires are a few years old, look for sidewall damage and cracks in the rubber - this manifests itself as bulges or even worse - a bubble. Sidewall damage is unrepairable - PERIOD. Replace the tire because if a sidewall bubble bursts, you will experience a sudden and catastrophic loss of air pressure. At highway speeds, that could result in a serious accident. No kidding - this is a serious issue and needs to be taken care of by replacing the tire.
If it's been a while since you had your tires rotated, chances are that the front tires will be more worn than the rears since that's where the weight of the engine lives. Throw in that the front tires do all of the steering and most of the braking and you can see why the front tires need special attention. If there is sufficient tread depth (usually 4/32nd of an inch is the minimum for NJ motor vehicle inspection) consider having the tires rotated. Once again, your owner's manual will show you the best rotation pattern for the type of tires on your vehicle. If the tire's tread is below that 4/32nd of an inch limit, see a tire dealer for the best replacement options before heading out for a long summer trip.
Oil and Water: Your engine lives on clean, fresh oil and keeps cool with fresh, uncontaminated anti-freeze. While most of us know that oil is our engine's life blood, just having enough isn't enough. New motor oil lubes best so if your car's engine is within a few hundred miles of needing an oil change, why not avoid potential wear problems by having it changed with the proper viscosity as recommended by your car's manufacturer. I prefer synthetic oils because of their greater level of protection and resistant to breakdown at summer's higher temperatures. Your owner's manual will tell you the right viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 0W-40) and what the oil change intervals are. Be aware, the manufacturer's recommended oil is what you should consider "gospel" but the recommended change intervals can vary depending on how you drive your car. Something called "severe" driving isn't flying around the track like a NASCAR racer. Daily stop and go commuting, lots of idling in traffic, hours of miles with the air-conditioning on and towing a camper or boat all stress your motor oil. An oil change is cheap insurance and I always do one just before going out on a long vacation drive. ALWAYS...
Another place you have oil is in your transmission. Although, in an automatic transmission it's called ATF - automatic transmission fluid - it's still a petroleum product and needs regular maintenance. Pull the transmission dip stick and look at your car's ATF fluid - check the level and color (usually this is done with the engine running). It should be cherry red in color. Brown fluid means it bad and needs replacing. There is a transmission filter in there too and it should be changed as well when the fluid is changed. NOTE: If the level is high enough, you can do one more simple test to double check it - you can sniff the dip stick. (Not a typo.) If it smells burned, it's bad. Get it changed ASAP since transmissions can fail from lack of maintenance. That's an expensive fix.
Also, when you are under the hood you should check your radiator fluid level. Note I didn't say water level. You never want to put pure water in a modern radiator unless it's to deal with a roadside emergency. The metals in a radiator and engine block are alloys of aluminum and magnesium. These are highly reactive elements and suffer corrosion when they come in contact with pure water. To prevent that corrosion, manufacturers require that the cooling system be kept filled with a 50/50 mix of anti-freeze that contains anti-corrosion chemicals. This mixture of anti-freeze protects against freezing, internal corrosion and boil over. If you recall basic chemistry, adding an impurity to a pure liquid depresses the freezing point (anti-freeze) and, at the same time, raises the boiling point. IMPORTANT: Be sure to check the fluid level when the engine is over-night cold! Another way manufacturers prevent boil over is to keep the cooling system under pressure (also basic chemistry - boiling is when vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure). If you open the radiator cap when the system is hot, you could be scalded by expanding, VERY hot liquid. That's a serious concern and should be heeded by all car owners.
Keeping Cool: The air conditioning system in your car runs on a chemical called Freon. This chemical is circulated under pressure by an air-conditioner pump and flows through a condenser and various other components and hoses. These components can, over time, leak leaving the system low on Freon and you stuck in a hot car. Before heading out on a long trip, I recommend having your car's system checked by an automotive air conditioning expert. There is a maintenance service these techs can do that checks for sufficient Freon and looks for potential problems by checking for leaks. Also, fresh Freon usually contains a chemical that helps treat the system's seals thereby preventing leaks and also, new Freon doesn't have any trapped water that can corrode vital components.
Filters: We all know that changing the oil filter is a normal part of an oil change. I doubt that anyone does an oil change these days without replacing the filter but there are two other filters - air and fuel - that should get routine attention. An air filter is an owner-servicaable component and it's cheap insurance to go to a local auto parts store, buy and install one before your summer vacation. Fuel filters require less frequent changing but it's worth looking into your owner's manual to see when this needs doing and I recommend asking your dealer or local mechanic to make the swap if it's due. Note to diesel engine owners - many diesel fuel filters require more frequent changing than gasoline filters. Read your manual to be sure.
Belts, Blades and Hoses: Finally, most of the under-hood engine systems run on belts. Your alternator, power steering pump, water pump and air conditioning compressor are run off the power of the engine, This power is transmitted to these components by pulleys and one big belt or, in some cases, by several smaller belts. If a belt fails, your car could overheat, you could lose all electrical energy and, of course, your power steering could fail, making your vehicle hard to steer. Have a good mechanic look over your car's belts and replace any that are cracked, glazed or are squealing (a squealing belt can get glazed if there is a problem with the component or the tension is incorrect). Remember, a squealing under hood belt needs to be attended to before taking a long trip!
A quick look at the radiator's connections by a qualified mechanic will usually be enough to ensure that you won't suffer a burst hose when your'e on the road. If yours are over 5 years old, getting them inspected is cheap insurance.
To ensure that you can see in rain, I recommend changing your wiper blades with new, fresh blades before setting off and I also recommend you fill your washer reservoir with a fluid designed to wash off splattered bugs. One caveat - don't leave this "bug wash" fluid in there when the weather gets cold. These fluids freeze in winter weather - that would be bad.
That's my simple checklist for trouble-free summer vacation driving.
Happy motoring!

The Hottest Teachers Caught Sleeping With Students
List Criteria: Vote up the hottest teachers who were caught banging their students.
These sexy teachers caught sleeping with students are all beautiful, young women who could easily attract any man they desire but instead had sexual relationships with their students and got busted for it. These hot teachers caught having sex with students all are unmistakably gorgeous, but took their dedication to their students too far. These women might not be the most famous teachers who've been caught or arrested for having sexual relations/sex with students, but they definitely are the sexiest teachers out there (Ranked by hotness, of course).
Almost everyone can remember the high profile case of Mary Kay Letourneau, the Washington state teacher who had a relationship with her then-12-year-old student Vili Fualaau. Child rape charges, prison sentences, and no-contact orders could not keep these two apart, and more than a decade later, the couple were still together with two children. Of course, not all stories of improper student-teacher relationships end that happily, but in all of these stories, the teacher in question was sexy enough to be the dream woman of nearly any man.
Say what you want about the poor choices of the teachers, but these women are smoking hot, and some of the naughty teachers even have dirty names to go along with their behavior. While some are brunettes, like Lisa Gilde, Amy Northcutt, Nicole Long, and Staphanie Ragusa, the majority of these naughty schoolteachers are young and blonde. Amy McElhenney, Christine McCallum, Carrie McCandless, Lindsay Massaro, Teresa Engelbach, and dozens more all share their light hair color and their love for their much younger students.
For their actions, many of these dirty sexy teachers are now in prison for their crimes, a place where their good looks and teaching degree will mean very little. At least some of them have left us sexy photos to keep us entertained while they serve their time.
Check out these sexy teacher pics! Teachers that have affairs with students

In a recent Israeli television interview, Gal Gadot spoke to interviewers about her contract and salary, a rarity in the secrecy that usually centers itself around actors actually talking about money. But, the real news for fans was the news that she has signed a contract for not one but three Wonder Woman appearances.
We know that she is set to start filming in May in the "Batman vs. Superman" movie that was set to premiere in July 2015 but has now been moved up to May 2016. She stated that this would be a small role and that she will be recieving $300,000 for that appearance.
Gadot also mentioned that the other two appearances were not confirmed but most assume the second would be the "Justice League" movie set to premiere in 2017. But, many fans are hoping that the third movie would be a solo "Wonder Woman" movie but it could simply be a "Justice League" sequel movie.
Nothing has been confirmed as of now but it is good news that we will finally see Wonder Woman on the big screen. It has been a long time coming.
Please see the video at the top of this article for the interview.
If you would like more information on me or my writings please visit me at Midnight Musings with Bertena.

A seat is a seat until it comes loose in a crash. Even with all the belts securely latched, the driver is almost free to move about the cockpit when a seat mounting comes loose. Often he is bounced around like a pinball.
Worse yet is a case in which the seat is mounted to the floor but the belts are mounted to the cage. In a hard side impact, the cage can be shoved over toward the right side of the car. The seat is then, no pun intended, a sitting duck while the cage moves toward it and the driver. All this time, the driver is being yanked by the belts, and his ribs are doing their best to deform the seat.
At no time is a poorly designed seat mount a healthy situation. I'm sure there are some racers who can tell a tale about mounting seats to the floor and having survived tremendous impacts. These stories are analogous to those stories of drivers with no seatbelts being thrown clear of an accident.
I have seen a variety of seat mountings over the years, even in professionally built cars in which the seat mounting looked trick and saved a pound or two of left weight. Some use one mount at the top of the seat and another near the junction of the seatback to the seat bottom. This cantilevers the front part of the seat out into space. Looking trick and saving a little left weight can be a foolish way to build a car. I think builders wanting to save a little time do this sometimes.
The method we will describe here for mounting a seat is not the only way it can be done. However, this way is tried, true, and strong.
Rollcage Dummy
For this project, we again used Stock Car Racing's rollcage dummy. This is a generic cage built of lightweight exhaust pipe material to make it easy to move about the shop. Much of it is tack welded together to facilitate taking parts off and on as well as changing its configuration. With this dummy, only components necessary for the project are in place. There are no extraneous pieces to distract the eye in a photo. The dummy can be tipped to any angle necessary for a photo that is intended to demonstrate a point.
The dummy was previously used in "What Is Your Net Worth," SCR Feb '04, and I'm sure it will be used again for other projects.
Mount Up
Having used a variety of seat mountings over the years, I like a mount that attaches only to the rollcage. The mount should cradle the seat and be strong enough to carry seatbelt mountings. Seatbelts should be attached directly to the seat mount so that if the mount/cage moves in a crash, you won't be strangled by belts attached somewhere else.
We used a CSC Racing seat mount kit for this project. This kit embodies all the features I like in seat mountings. The parts are made of 11/2x0.095-inch wall tubing and are pre-bent. Most of the tubing is also notched. The exceptions are the parts that must be cut to length to fit your particular installation.
The instruction sheet is clear about which steps to take and in which order. The notched side frames are welded to the short slider tubes. Then the upper and lower crossbars are inserted, making assembly not unlike an erector set. It makes for an easier installation if only the lower cage door bar is in place at this time.
The seat side frames should be wide enough apart for the seat to cradle down between them. The front edge of the seat should rest on the front crossbar.
Ergonomics is a big word for making sure the driver is comfortable and well-fitted to his surroundings in the cockpit. An ill-fitting cockpit will be distracting to a driver. This can lead to driver stress and fatigue near the end of a race when he or she really needs to be alert. Take the time to fit the driver to the car. This begins with seat type and location. The steering wheel as well as other controls can then be positioned.
We decided to use an Oval Craft seat obtained from our local supplier, Racecar Engineering. This is a nicely formed, well-crafted aluminum seat. I particularly like the transition angle of the seat bottom to the seatback. In addition, the cover has tabs to tug on while snapping it down.
Most stock car seats have a 20 degree angle between the back and bottom with the headrest at a lesser angle. Normal mounting will have the headrest in the vertical position. This will set the angle to mount the seat. Block the seat up with whatever is handy to get it in the position you want it. This may take some time, but it is well worth the trouble. Get the seat angle, height, and fore-and-aft location correct. You also need to consider the clearance between the driver's helmet and the top of the cage.
With the seat blocked up in the desired position, the side frames and upper and lower crossbars can be assembled around the seat. There should be a minimum of 1/8 inch per side clearance between the seat and the side frames. The front of the seat should rest on the front crossbar. Now the front crossbar's bent end can be located to the bottom door bar. Twist it as necessary to get the right position. Vise Grips are a good way to hold everything in place temporarily. The notch is easiest cut with a tube notcher, but it can be done on a chop saw or even with a hand grinder. Once this has been done, the lower crossbar can be tack welded to the side frames.
The upper door bar can be tacked in place so that the upper crossbar can be located. When this is done, the upper crossbar can also be tacked in place. There is one more mounting bar, which should be located to the right side of the upper bar and then to the rollcage crossbar. With this tacked into place, the seat frame can be gently removed from the chassis.
Out on the bench, weld all joints. Weld part of a joint, and then go to the next joint and weld part of it. Repeat this process of moving around, partly welding joints until all is complete. This will minimize warpage of the unit and help to maintain its fit in the chassis.
Still on the bench, we fitted the Oval Craft seatback into the frame. All the mounting holes were drilled, and the seat was secured with 7/16-inch Grade 8 bolts. The bolt size may seem like overkill, but using a bolt this size allows the load to be spread over a larger area.
Now is the time to locate the attachment points for the belts. CSC supplies tabs for mounting all of these. We used some of theirs and some parts from A&A Manufacturing. From CSC we used two tabs on the front crossbar to bolt to the seat. Additionally, CSC's tabs were used for side seat mounting bolts, and one tab is used for a five-point harness on the front crossbar.
Belt Attachment
A&A has a new part, a "U" shaped piece used for belt attachments. You should always mount belts between two tabs, putting the belt attachment bolt in double shear. The A&A bracket lets us weld one tab in place and still have the attachment bolt in double shear. We used these for the lap belt holders.
For the shoulder belts, we did it two ways. If you have room, use the double shear bracket. If the seat is too close to the cage bar to allow the adjuster or mounting hardware to clear the seat, then use a single tab pointing down as shown in the photos. Be careful to mount all the belt hardware in the correct location.
We selected a six-point harness from Leaf Racewear. The lap belts should angle up at about a 45 degree angle from their attachment point. They should follow a path across the pelvic area of the driver. The mount should be located so that the belt does not pull against the edge of the hole where it goes through the seat. The double shear bracket here is nice to have because the belt hardware can freely pivot.
At no time should the belt adjusting hardware contact the metal seat. It must be on either inside, or preferably outside, the seat. Such contact can cause improper adjustments as well as the infamous "dumping" where a belt is stacked against one side of the hardware. Dumping could cause shearing against a hardware edge.
The shoulder belts must not depend on the seat hole for their vertical location. There should be a seat mount bar or chassis bar behind the seat that locates the height of the belts coming off the driver's shoulders. The bar should allow belt angles of about 10 degrees down behind the seat.
Most of us are familiar with the five-point harness; it has a single, front anti-submarine strap attaching below the seat. This isn't bad. I've used one for years, and my voice is still in the same range it has been in since I survived puberty. The purpose of the strap is not to keep you from sliding forward, but to keep the lap belt from riding up and then letting you slide forward.
The six-point harness has a double strap, if this makes you feel better. The best part--it's easier to mount than a five-point setup. The double straps attach to the lap belt mounts. Then they wrap under the seat and go up through the front hole in the seat.
Take time to properly position a seat; use a mounting that attaches in three places to the rollcage; pick a seat that fits properly; use the correct brackets; and finally, use care in selecting belt mounting points.

Replies to Wedding Invitations
Formal Wedding Invitation Replies
Traditional, formal replies should be handwritten, in the third person, on headed paper. The date is written at the bottom of the page. The envelope is addressed to the host/hostess whose name is on the invitation.
There is a standard etiquette for the wording of a handwritten formal reply to a traditional wedding invitation; note that the ending expresses whether the guest(s) can attend.
For example:
Mr and Mrs David Clegg thank Mr and Mrs John Debrett for the kind invitation to the marriage of their daughter, Caroline Jane, to Mr Richard Manners at St Paul's, Knightsbridge, on Saturday 17th July at 3 o'clock and afterwards at The Hyde Park Hotel, and are delighted to accept/regret that they are unable to accept.
Reply Cards
Sometimes a special reply card is enclosed with the wedding invite. Guests should fill this in and post it back in good time.
Other Wedding replies
Nowadays, many couples include an email address on the invitation. Traditionally, formal replies to wedding invitations are always handwritten. Replies should never be given by telephone.
Extra Wedding Guests
If the invitation has arrived and it does not specify 'and guest', it is the height of rudeness to ask to bring one or assume that a partner is invited.

Will baking soda help you pass you a drug test for meth?
This is the best way to pass a drug test:
3 & 1/2 tablespoons
I don't know if you can PASS a drug test by drinking sodium bicarbonate in water, but I do know that it does keep your body from metabolizing methamphetamines. It impedes the RAPID elimination of amphetamines through the urine, not stops it completely. Sorry pal, you're busted.
take 2 tablespoons two hours after your last use and then drink at least a liter of water pee once and your second pee willbe clean works for up to 5 hours after ingestion
I weigh 200 lbs and i use a tablespoon and a half 1 hr before UA, with no more than 12 ounces of water. Dont drink more... You can drink some juice or pop after, i drink orange juice. You need to pee 2 times b4 UA and it is only good for 2 hrs
