Cougars hold off field
Asheville puts up 85 points, West second with 70
Published: Saturday, April 16, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 16, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Like many of the other coaches milling around Hendersonville's track with shiny metal relay batons tucked in their back pockets, West Henderson's David Pierce was rather thankful for Friday's good weather.
"The weather, just having a nice day to run really made a difference," Pierce said. "It's different than the snow and the rain and everything else this year."
It has been a mucky track season with teams competing in every assortment of precipitation the clouds could spit out this spring. But for Pierce -- who's been pocketing relay batons longer than most of the coaches at Friday's WHKP Relays -- the results were as promising as the sunshine.
His Falcons scored 70 points to finish second behind powerful Asheville, which won the boys meet with 85.
A.C. Reynolds came in third with 65 points, T.C. Roberson was seventh with 35, Hendersonville was eighth with 26, East Henderson was ninth with 16 and Polk County tied North Henderson for 11th with 12 points.
The day also saw Roberson break a 20-year-old meet record in the distance medley, Hendersonville set a new mark in the shuttle hurdles and Asheville's Elijah Harrison break an individual record in the high jump.
Like he did with the boys at Hendersonville and the girls at North, Pierce is in the process of building a strong program at West.
The Falcons finished sixth in the Western Highlands Conference in 2003, Pierce's first season at West, but won the league and the 2-A Western Regional title last year.
On Friday the Falcons showed some versatility in taking runner-up finishes in the shot put, discus, 1,600-meter team race, 400-meter relay and triple jump as well as third in the long jump and high jump.
"My throwers did really well and then the jumpers, I thought the jumpers would do well," Pierce said.
The good news for Pierce is that it's still an up-and-coming squad. Of the 43 boys on his team, 32 are freshmen and sophomores.
Although Roberson kept a good portion of its team at home, planning to send them to today's Queen City Relays in Charlotte, the Rams' distance medley team made its presence known.
Paced by Jason Morgan's 800-meter split of 1:59 and Josh Morgan's anchor leg of 4:45 in the 1,600, Roberson finished in 10:40.07. That eclipsed the mark of 10:43.67 set by Spartanburg (S.C.) High in 1985.
"I told the guys I thought we could break that," Rams coach Steve Carpenter said. "It's probably the fastest we've ever run it at Roberson, but we don't actually keep (the distance medley) record."
A psyched-up Carpenter pointed out that the team is comprised of underclassmen and could chase even better times next year.
"I think about 10:20 leads the country, which I don't know, it's something next year we could be close to," Carpenter said.
Hendersonville's shuttle hurdle relay team of Caleb Benton, Jake Walgenbach, Devon Westin and Cameron Coleman set a record of 1:06.12 seconds.
"I'm impressed with them," Hendersonville coach Shawn Smith said. "I've surprisingly got a lot of hurdlers this year and that's helping out quite a bit."
Asheville prominent leaper, Harrison, put a 10-year-old high jump mark of 6-7 to rest with his jump of 6-8.

I have created a C Command Line app in Xcode 3.2.3. I have compiled SpiderMonkey from the command line, and have it working, this was for CouchDB 0.11. The js interpreter works, as well as all the files being in

Today I would like to share with you another video, that showcase a possible use of a Silverlight for Mobile application inside the TodayScreen of a PocketPc. For this demo I combined together the power or the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional Emulator, SLM, C++ and .NET. 🙂
So anyway Giorgio….can you give us a hint – are we weeks or is it still months away from having something to play with?
And will you be posting the source code for the demos you did at MIX08? (I'm particularly keen on seeing the technique for gesure recognition, but the nifty UI bits you demonstrated would be a very close second)
Hi Kevin,
please refer to http://www.silverlight.net/learn/mobile.aspx for the latest news on release of the Silverlight for Mobile CTP.
I will share sourcode of my demos as soon as a CTP will go online 🙂
More info about gesture coming soon instead!
Hi Georgio,
I consider to develop a warehouse mobile application that runs on top of Silverlight for mobile. This application should run on devices such as Motorola MC70, Intermec CN3 or Psion Teklogix devices. Since it is a warehouse application, main requirements are to support triggering actions via key keyboard function keys and handle barcode reading.Will it be possible to support such functionality with Silverlight for mobile?. Is there any demo
Hi Sergio,
please refer to the previous announcement from PDC or MIX, or to this page http://www.silverlight.net/learn/mobile.aspx for communications about SLM.
, too bad I'm not invited.. ;-And will you be posting the source code for the demos you did at MIX08?

Today, Intel is launching its long-awaited update and refresh of its top-end enthusiast platform: Haswell-E. It's a refresh that's been a long time coming — the old X79 chipset was long in the tooth 12 months ago, while the top-end six-core Ivy Bridge didn't overclock well and wasn't a huge improvement over the six-core Sandy Bridge. Will the new hardware put a fresh coat of paint on a lackluster lineup? Let's take a look.

What users say about Extreme Thumbnail Generator
I'm a part time photographer (full time Network Engineer). I'm using your software to generate HTML pages for my website so that I may sell event photos. Currently, I'm shooting youth golf tournaments. The process of taking 1700 images at one time, and getting them put into a neat gallery for prospective customers to purchase was daunting and time consuming, at best. Your program has made my job of getting images formatted and put into a web gallery a breeze. I wish I had found it a couple of weeks ago. It would have saved me a LOT of time. As it stands, I will put your program to extensive use on a regular basis (as long as event photography is profitable for me).

I use try catch statements in almost every one of my insert or update statements on a site built with PHP and MySQL. In the event of something like:
try {
//do insert or update
catch (PDOException $e) {
//do something with error $e
in this example, if an error occurs, anything that was done to the DB will be rolled back (changes reversed) and all is "well". I am not certain however how to handle situations in which multiple insert or update statements exist in one try/catch - how even multiple try/catches on one page.
Ultimately I am trying to solve: if an error is found in a script which does not allow a single insert/update (try/catch) statement to complete, to rollback the changes made to ALL tables within that particular script.
Is there a reliable way to do this?

Quinoa, a quick-cooking grain, makes for a hearty, complete meal. Many vegetarians and vegans love quinoa because not only is it a whole grain, it is also higher than many other whole grains in protein. For Passover, I decided to use quinoa because it is a quick-cooking grain (in 18 minutes) that adheres to strict kosher guidelines. Mixed with hearty kale and fresh herbs, this quinoa salad is a great addition to the Seder table, or indeed any healthy dinner menu.

I try to implement a restful webservice in Java together with Jersey. To communicate between the client- and server-side i´m watching out for XML. I already tried JSON.
When using JSON, the encapsulation is in the POJO-Object like:
public class MyPojo {
public int a;
public int[] b;
Then I just got a header in the Rest-Class like
public String classname(MyPojo p)
But I need a header like
public String classname(int a, int [] b)
to create Form-Elements automatically by reading the Rest-Headers. An example showed me that:
public classname methodname(@QueryParam("a") Integer a, @QueryParam("b") IntArray b)
should work. Question: How can I create a XML-Request (like JSON.stringify() in XML) for this method? Is there maybe a better way doing this?

John Foxx + The Maths to release debut single 'Destination' on 24th May 2010
Pioneering UK synth rock legend John Foxx (ex-frontman of Ultravox) teams up with respected electronic producer Benge to release their 1st single 'Destination' in May & perform a special one off 100% analogue show at The Roundhouse in London in June
Benge's London studio houses one of the biggest collections of analogue synthesizers in the UK and was heavily featured in last autumn's BBC documentary, Synth Britannia. Gary Numan was also recently filmed at the studio for an interview where he discusses the impact that John Foxx had on his own music www.youtube.com/
Meanwhile, last year the Roundhouse launched its festival of electronica, Short Circuit, with a line-up including Jeff Mills, Erol Alkan, Holger Czukay (Can), Gavin Bryars and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
The first acts of Short Circuit 2010 are now announced: an evening celebrating the best of electronic music, headlined and curated by John Foxx.
Following DJ sets by Jori Hulkkonen (best known for his 'Sunglasses At Night' hit with Tiga) and Gary Numan with co-producer Ade Fenton, John Foxx will perform a unique analogue synthesizer show to mark his 30th anniversary as a solo artist. The founder of Britain's first synthesizer rock band Ultravox, released his debut solo album Metamatic in early 1980. This dark electro classic is one of the few albums to be acknowleged by Aphex Twin as an inspiration and is described by the Klaxons as a 'visionary' record.
Foxx and a one-off group of special guests will assemble on stage for the first time with the machines he used on that album - the Moogs, ARPs and drum machines that created the sound of the future - to perform material from the forthcoming John Foxx & The Maths album (due out in the autumn), at least one new collaboration with Paul Daley from Leftfield and a selection of songs from Metamatic and early Ultravox.
Earlier in the day there will be a series of events programmed by Foxx. These will include movies, DJs, VJs, audio-visual work by Ghostbox and his own new collaborations with various film-makers, including a Super 8 project he's currently working on with London Orbital author, Iain Sinclair.

Personal stuff: my old page with New York photos (including the Brooklyn rainy wedding) can be found here.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, and for astronomers at a relatively nearby distance of 170 000 light years.
The H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array looked at the the brightest starforming region in this galaxy for 260 hours and detected a trio of very powerful gamma-ray sources: the super bubble 30 Dor C, the pulsar wind nebula N 157B and the 3000 yr old supernova remnant N132D (see the photo-montage).
Of these three source 30 Dor C is in particular very interesting as this for the first time that gamma-ray radiation from a superbubble is detected. Superbubbles are evacuated regions in the interstellar medium created by prodigious star formation, which leads to powerful stellar winds and a rapid succession of supernova explosions.
It has been hypothesized in the past that superbubble could accelerate particles (protons, electrons and other charged particles) to very high energies. These energetic particles should emit gamma-rays. This has been measured now for the first time. It could well be that the conditions for acceleration to high energies is caused by a very large rapidly (2000 km/s) expanding shell with a radius of more than 150 light year. It was probably created by the last supernova that went of in very tenuous medium created by previous supernovae and stellar winds.
N132D is of interest as with 3000 yr it is one of the oldest supernova remnants still emitting very high energy gamma-rays. This means N132D is a transition object, and therefore of great interest to study why and when supernova remnants seize to be very high energy gamma-ray emitters.
N157B is pulsar wind nebula powered by a pulsar as energetic as the Crab pulsar in the Milky Way. Nevertheless N157B appears a more powerful gamma-ray emitter than the Crab nebula. The probable reason is that there is much more light penetrating N157B. The energetic electrons scatter this light to very high energies, resulting in gamma-ray emission.
The study has appeard in Science Magazine: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/347/6220/406

There's a map for: Spokane city turnout
Turnout in the city of Spokane for the Nov. 3 election averages just under 50 percent with just a few ballots yet to count.
But it varied significantly around the city, as is typical for most elections. This map divides the city's precincts into four equal segments based on turnout and shows heavier turnout in the south and northwest, and light voting in the north central and northeast.

A number of rabbis here have been talking about an article in the latest edition of Tradition, the American journal of Orthodox thought published by the mainstream Rabbinical Council of America.
It is written by Alan Jotkowitz, who is director of the Jakobovits Centre for Medical Ethics at Ben Gurion University, and is a critique of the interfaith views of Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks.
A very powerful statement on the recent religious clashes in Israel from Rabbi Shaul Robinson of Lincoln Square Synagogue, New York (considered one of the favourites for UK Chief Rabbi, should, of course, he be interested in the job).
Rabbi Herzl Hefter, head of Harel Yeshiva in Israel reflects on his recent appearance at Limmud in his weekly email letter:
A very disturbing post on the latest religious unrest in Israel on the website Failed Messiah.
For as long as I can recall, intermarriage rates have been assumed to be rising in the West.
But an American demographer, recrunching the data, suggests they could have dropped in recent years. You can read more here.
The United Synagogue has, predictably, decided not to take the radical step of holding a ballot to elect its next Chief Rabbi after Lord Sacks retires in September 2013.
But it has set up an tripartite structure to make the selection process more representative of the Chief Rabbinate's constituents and, notably, women will play a greater role than they did in previous years.
In the past couple of weeks, we have read about the Creation and the Flood in the Torah portions of the week. But for all the drama of the stories, both sedarot end on a seemingly anti-climactic note with a list of names detailing the generations from Adam to Noah in the first sidrah, and then from Shem to Abram (he does not become Abraham until this week) in the second.
I have a seasonal confession to make: I don't like honey.
From early years, I have avoided spreading it on my challah or dipping my apple in it.
As a child, I used to sprinkle sugar on them instead.
Earlier this year I ran an article about an enigmatic collection of lead books which, it was being argued, were ancient Jewish mystical texts.
Immediately, rival theories began to appear all over the media here and abroad that these were early Christian codices.
A poignant letter in this week's Jewish Tribune reveals one family's battle to keep their head above water in these hard economic times.
The anonymous writer used to raise money for Jewish schools, then he lost his job, home and became bankrupt. Life is now a constant struggle.
It's anyone's guess who will be the next Chief Rabbi after Lord Sacks retires in two years.
But two rabbis from abroad tipped as possible successors will be visiting next month and teaching on the London School of Jewish Studies High Holy Days programme.
The Chief Rabbi's eagerly-awaited new Rosh Hashanah machzor should be reaching the shops within a week or two.
It is published by Koren, who have already produced a version of his (green) Singer's siddur for the international market.
It should be followed by a new Yom Kippur machzor next year and the complete festival set by the time he leaves office in 2013.
A typically forthright contribution to the debate about the next Chief Rabbi from Rabbi Jeremy Rosen on his blog, who writes: "Not one Chief Rabbi since Hertz has stood up to the Beth Din. No new one will be any more likely to than his predecessors. The hounds of the religious right are already baying.
All too often elections to Anglo-Jewish organisations are a formality, with one group of leaders slipping unopposed into the seats vacated by their predecessors.
So it's worth applauding the fact that there will be a contest to lead the community's largest organisation, the United Synagogue, for its next triennial.
Last year's survey on the attitudes of British Jews towards Israel pose interesting questions for Jewish education, according to Jon Boyd, director of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, which ran the survey.
Let me quote from part of the synopsis of his presentation at last week's UJIA education conference:
On the way to shul last Shabbat, I mused upon a mystery: how is it that some synagogues come familiarly to be known by the roads in which they are located, while others do not.
Sunday's "We Believe in Israel" conference has been billed as the largest advocacy of its kind in this country. But if you go to the conference home page, you'll notice that the word "advocacy" does not appear.
A few weeks I wrote about a cache of lead books from the Middle East that has been claimed as a significant archaeologist discovery.
The seemingly unstoppable rise in the number of Jewish schools is widely regarded as one of the most positive features of British Jewry.
But not everyone agrees. Here is a dissenting opinion from an unusual source – the United Synagogue.
There is a memorial concert on Saturday night (March 26) for Debbie Friedman, the influential American Jewish singer who sadly died in January aged 59, shortly after her last appearance at the Limmud UK conference.

Founded in 1986 in Mexico City, Enrique Norten's practice TEN Arquitectos is not known for a signature style, preferring to make each project a modernist-infused response to its own specific conditions. Nonetheless, they have become one of the most widely-recognized architectural practices emerging from Mexico, with projects throughout North America. In the latest interview in his "City of Ideas" column, Vladimir Belogolovsky speaks with Norten in New York to find out how the architect's past has influenced his current design work, and to discuss the future trajectory of architecture.
Vladimir Belogolovsky: How busy are you now, what kind of projects are you working on?
Enrique Norten: Fortunately, we are very busy. Half of our work is for such clients as cultural institutions, education, and government. The other half is for private clients – developers and homeowners. TEN Arquitectos maintains around 75 to 85 architects between our two offices in Mexico City and here in New York, from where we are working on projects in many major cities in the US and now in Toronto, and in the Caribbean. Two thirds of the work is handled by our Mexico City office, from which we work on projects all over Mexico and in Central America.

Bowlers must keep it tight - Small
Former England seamer Gladstone Small has pinpointed the discipline of the tourists' bowling attack as a crucial factor as they look to retain the Ashes.
Small, who starred in the last England team to claim victory Down Under in 1986-87, expects this winter's series to be closely contested, but feels it is imperative that Australia's batsmen are not allowed to settle.
England's bowlers have been put under heavy pressure in the early stages of previous trips to the Antipodes and Small is wary of a similar scenario this time around.
However, he also believes the tourists' battery of tall seamers - James Anderson is comfortably the shortest of England's frontline pacemen at six-foot two - could find conditions to their liking.
"It's a skilful bowling outfit, but they will have tough sessions and when it does get tough they need to have a plan and make sure when they are not taking wickets they are not going for big runs," Small told ecb.co.uk.
"They are going to have to work as a unit and make sure they don't let Australia get off to a flier.
"Obviously, (Graeme) Swann is the key. He's been a superstar in the England team for the last 18 months, two years.
"But the Kookaburra ball could be a factor. It doesn't drift as much for the off-spinner, so it could come down to the taller guys, the likes of Stuart Broad, Steven Finn and Chris Tremlett.
"The selectors have obviously picked bowlers who will be able to hit the splice of the bat and if you stop them from scoring quickly then you can get them on the back foot.
"They will get some assistance out there. The hardness of the wickets, the bounce of the ball - you can make that work in your favour."
Australia's form has come under the microscope in recent months and their recent 2-0 series defeat in India saw them slip to fifth in the ICC Test rankings.
Yet Small insists Ricky Ponting's side remain a formidable force, particularly at home, and has warned England they must play with controlled aggression if they are to triumph.
"I think it's going to be a tremendously exciting series and I'm really looking forward to it," he added.
"Obviously Australia have lost their big guns but they are still a very good team and on home soil they are a different outfit to the one that was recently beaten in India.
"Their bowlers are much more effective and their stroke-playing batters like the good Australian wickets.
"I expect them to play aggressively and be as competitive as always and we have to match that.
"Hopefully they (England) get the balance right, they don't get too carried away with being aggressive and trying to score runs too quickly or trying to get wickets with every ball.
"There are going to be times in the game when they have to sit in and dig deep, bat long for not many runs or bowl a lot of maiden overs.
"It's going to come down to little passages in play - half an hour in a session where you can't lose wickets when you are batting or you need to pick up a few wickets when you are bowling.
"It will be the team that wins the most of those small passages of play who will come out on top."
Small is also eager to see how England's players react to the inevitable criticism that will come their way from the Australian supporters and media.
The victorious 1986-87 side were famously written off ahead of the first Test in Brisbane, but responded in stirring fashion with a host of impressive performances.
"The Pommie-bashing was very much in vogue back then and that's something that this team is going to have to be tough and wise about," said Small.
"It's a tough place to play, not just on the field but off the field as well, you're copping an earful from the supporters and the only way to stop it is to perform in the middle.
"If you do that, they actually respect you because they are sports-loving people, they just love to beat the Pommies.
"That's how they play their sport, there's no such thing in Australia as a social game to be honest - it's a very competitive environment and if you can front up to them and show them that you're not going to back down then you will get respect from them."

You might wonder why i have given this Hotel a "very good" rating after you read my story. We chose this spot because it had been built in 2011 and the alternative properties looked tired. It was very nice: tile, granite, tasteful decorations, flat screen T.V. The top level with a fresh water pool, bar and nice lounge chairs is a favourite gathering spot to view the sunset.
When we arrived there were no hangers, soap dish, drinking glasses, blow dryer or iron in the room. They were quickly provided. We were experiencing difficulty with the hot water (it was luke warm or cold). At first we thought it was just a matter of extreme use at peak times, but then called in the maintenance crew. They came twice and claimed that they had fixed it. On the third visit, we found out what was wrong. There is a thermostat under the bathroom sink. When the thermostat was set properly for hot water, the circuit breaker would flip and cut off the heat. The maintenance man merely turned the thermostat down to prevent it from flipping the breaker. This resulted in luke warm then cold water. Thanks buddy. He eventually admitted that the whole unit had to be replaced but could not be done before we were to leave. We had 4 days of nothing but cold water.
This hotel is an add-on to the Paradise Resort and Hotel. Essentially, you utilize all the restaurants and facilities of the lesser property. The food was, at times inedible.

There are many scenes in the movie when the hat disappears at moments of clarity and magically reappears on the stairs, exactly at the birth of some new confusion. Choosing a hat was also a very ...
A scene in the movie provides a lovely explanation of the hat: Verna: What're you chewin' over? Tom Reagan: Dream I had once. I was walkin' in the woods, I don't know why. Wind came up and blew me hat off. Verna: And you chased it, right? You ran and ran, finally caught up to it and you picked it up. But it wasn't a hat anymore and it changed into ...
After much conversation with my husband about this symbol, I feel that the hat symbolizes home for Tom. "Home is where you hang your hat". Tom spends the entire film wandering between different "families" in search of a place to belong. Hence the dream of his hat blowing away from him. His hat is the only home he's got.
I've only seen the movie twice, but this is the impression I got from the hat. It represents composure and control. While Tom would never chase his hat through the woods, he does express a want for his hat every time he loses it. And he seems to lose it every time he loses control of a situation: someone ambushes him, he gets drunk and gambles it away, or he ...

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The Muppets may have taken Manhattan, but they're getting a fancy new home in Queens.
Muppet creator Jim Henson's family is donating about 400 puppets, costumes, props and other items to the Museum of the Moving Image.
The museum plans to build a new gallery to house the new contributions. The city is chipping in $2.75 million toward the $5 million project.
As WCBS 880's Rich Lamb reported, Mayor Michael Bloomberg shared the stage with Miss Piggy for the announcement Tuesday.
MISS PIGGY: "Oh yes, the moment you've been waiting for: His Honor meets Her Highness!"
MAYOR BLOOMBERG: "Yes, you should know that Ms. Piggy and I go back a long way. We even acted together in 'The Muppets Letters To Santa.'"
MISS PIGGY: "Yes you were wonderful, almost life-like."
BLOOMBERG: "It's kind of you, actually, to say so."
The donation also includes objects from other shows and films on which Henson worked, including "Fraggle Rock" and "The Dark Crystal."
The Henson gallery is slated to open next year.
The 1984 film "The Muppets Take Manhattan" depicted the fuzzy crew striving to stage a Broadway musical. Bloomberg noted that film was shot in Queens.
"And of course, right around the corner at Kaufman Astoria Studios even as we speak, Sesame Street is in production on its 44th season," Bloomberg said.
The museum is marking its 25th year.

For most the past six decades, Virginia has been a reliably-red state when it came to casting its electoral votes for president of the United States. While it had a history of electing Democrats to many state and local offices, including the election of Doug Wilder as the first black governor in the nation, when it came to choosing a President, Virginians voted bright red.
But all that changed in 2008 when President Obama carried the state by more than six points and most of that victory margin of 234,527 votes came from the CDs of Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.
I was first elected to Congress that same year after spending 14 years as a Fairfax County supervisor, the last five as chairman of the most populous jurisdiction in the Commonwealth. Although the 11th Congressional District was classified as a swing district and had been represented by a Republican for the previous 14 years, Barack ObamaBarack ObamaWashington Post: Trump is a 'unique and present danger' Obama reaffirms support for Germany in wake of shooting GOP Sen. Flake offers Trump rare praise MORE carried it in 2008 with 57 percent of the vote and the second-highest turnout in the state. Only the 8th Congressional District in Northern Virginia, represented by Jim MoranJim MoranHouse Dem: Congress needs 'courage' to call for its own pay raise House may resume work on spending bills next week Bottom Line MORE, and the 3rd Congressional District in Hampton Roads, represented by Bobby ScottBobby ScottChanging the game in American education Less paperwork, more college Lawmakers fighting for stronger protections for older workers MORE, turned out larger margins for the Obama-Biden ticket that year.
One of the reasons why Virginia has evolved into a battleground state is its changing demographics, especially pronounced in Northern Virginia, which now provides one-third of the state's total vote.
We've seen a rapid increase in population and job growth over the last two decades, fueled by our proximity to the federal government, an expansion of the high-tech and defense contracting industry, a highly-educated workforce, good schools, and a great quality of life. In fact, the census just noted that the top most affluent counties in the U.S. are all in Northern Virginia. With growth has come an influx of a diverse population from across the nation and the world who don't necessarily subscribe to the narrow-messages and far-right tilt of today's Republican Party. These new Virginians, many armed with the high-tech skills needed by regional employers, joined federal employees, military personnel, contracting employees, legal and medical professionals, high-tech entrepreneurs, and small business owners to help expand our strong economy.
Today, the 11th Congressional District is rated as the wealthiest district in the nation, as measured by median household income, primarily because we have built an economy that marries the needs of federal government with the technical prowess of the private sector. We now have a high-tech sector that rivals Silicon Valley, provides important services to the federal government, and meets the critical needs of the military and our national security interests.
In recent elections, Democrats like former Governor and Senator Mark WarnerMark WarnerLiberal group: Kaine could be 'disastrous' VP pick Buzz grows that Tim Kaine will be Clinton's VP pick GOP platform attempts middle ground on encryption debate MORE, former Governor and Senate candidate Tim KaineTim KaineVulnerable GOP senators praise Kaine Pro-abortion rights groups give Kaine nod of approval RNC slams Clinton-Kaine ticket as 'failed Democrat status quo' MORE, and President Barack Obama have followed campaign models that capitalized on the changing demographics of the state's suburbs and exurbs, particularly Northern Virginia, in addition to the traditionally-Democratic cities, to garner support and boost voter turnout.
Another important factor is that President Obama's policies have worked in our state. Every economic indicator demonstrates that Virginia has weathered the worst recession in 80 years better than most other states. We have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, our schools are some of the best in the nation, and we continue to attract Fortune 500 companies and other high-quality employers to our area.
The residents of my district and the region understand that the Commonwealth was only able to close its budget shortfall because Obama's policies pumped funding into the economy when it was most needed, even though Romney ally and Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell is loathe to admit it.
These voters want their elected officials to get the job done, support pragmatic government and the services it provides, and are not interested in empty rhetoric or the simplistic rants of the now-fading tea party movement. They don't subscribe to the Republican assaults on federal employees and women and they understand the value of service to their nation. They are also highly educated, as is required for a knowledge-based economy, and are repelled by the GOP's sad lurch to anti-empiricism on issue such as creationism, anti-stem cell research, and global warming skepticism.
Their work puts them on the front lines, whether it is at the CIA, the Pentagon, the State Department, or Homeland Security, working in the private sector to strengthen cyber-security and enhance cloud computing, or developing new drone technology, body armor, and other deterrents to help our military men and women survive and win.
The voters of the 11th Congressional District and across Northern Virginia understand firsthand how President Obama's policies pulled us back from the brink of financial calamity and continue to have a positive and direct impact on their lives and the lives of all Americans.
That is why this November, once again, Virginia voters will be casting their votes to reelect President Obama and elect Tim Kaine as our next Senator.
Connolly is a Democrat from Northern Virginia.

Go to the labour board and make them prove it.
After 7 years they can't just boot you.
You don't want attitude hung around your neck.
Just like hydro.
I would just ignor them and if they pissed me off again go find a better place to work.
LOL 34 years ago I started work with a maufacture in Sept by Nov I was on my own by spring I was the top tech.
I spent the next 10 years returning to some of those customers with cronic problems...
Here's to Old Dogs with lots of life left and smart to.
And over price.
Yes and at 57 you should have learned by now that you don't need them, you will eat tommorow maybe even better that today.Leave the worrying for the young ones.
As stated earlier, the petroleum based economys of the world would falter, and someone would have to figure out how to seize the worlds water supply in order to charge for a hydrogen based power...
Sounds about right and was what I was trying to say.
Hope you get 4 for 4 this time but they won't stay long good tenants seldom do.
[Edited by JohnB on 08-03-2004 at 12:14 AM]
Maybe yes maybe no, politicans are prity quick on their feet if you're after their meal ticket
[Edited by JohnB on 08-03-2004 at 12:07 AM]
Well I think you need a little more experience.
You read my post wrong so let me return the favour.
Three years same tenants right?
Lucky right?
Wait till you get the tenant from hell.
I have a...
PS I forgot to answer your question, you want a source to free information, it's right here just point and click.
One step at a time.
First tech school should be 6 months.
Safty courses.

Equipment cleaning and identifation.
Employment maners.
Now you are prepared to...
And they wonder why we charge so much.
You do charge enough don't you?
If the answer is yes call a painter.
If the answer is no, why not?
If the answer is still no call the painter anyway,at 70...
Realize good tenants buy houses and don't stay long.
Poor tenants don't pay the rent and stay to long.
I have one commercial building with 3 units,if two are rented it pays for it's self.I can kick...
Wind power has been around as was said for 30 years or whatever if it was going anywhere it would have been there by now.
I was driving my truck the other day the tach said 1500 RPM at 50 mph...
The windmills are only there to pacify people until the real deal comes along, as of yet we don't know what it's going to be so we give the tree huggers money for junk to keep them happy.
Ok Canada next.
I got 8 but I'm a Canadian.
Good one.
2. Immediately after doing item #1 three time. Put ice on the shaft of the motor.
No way am I wasting good ice on that. Put the ice in a drink relax and give the oil time to work.
The biggest trick is to make sure you can reuse the fan before you drive two hours or wait a week to get a new motor.
You look dumb standing there with a new motor and no fan.
And unplug it before you touch the caseing just in case.
If your story is true and I don't doubt it is what a shame.
If you were close it would be free, the men there should be bending over backwards to help you out.
There's only one way you can beat them, lots and lots of insurance, to get even with the insurance when your done with the trailer have one of your buddys steal it then he can insure it until he's...
Part of this business will exclude steady part time work,I think the people who need steady part time would be better off in a 9 to 5 job.
HVACR isn't a 9 to 5 thing.
I always remember the drop of the hat part at raise time.
Family first, full time job second, part time job third, unless you don't want a raise or steady work.
You don't know how tough it is being the owner until you have been there.
The guy's who start their own business gain a whole new respect for their past employers.
I was a poor employee and I had...
Your making it to hard.
It's easy, get ten prices and take the lowest one.
It has to be fair for all party's involved. And that includes the customer.
No: It's my company, if I hire you and don't like you your gone.
I don't care how good an earner you are.
I don't care...
But I do resent your insinuations and attitude, you are no longer welcome here.
You should rethink this statment.
I'm always looking for something different.
34 years in this business 15 on my own does that to you.
I have 3 businesses now all small because I live in a small town.
If you want to share my email...
Did I miss something or are you going to tell us what the home business is?
This will only take you 1/2 an hour, it would be nice to see the numbers before you change the coil.
Tech thanks for the reply.
We can't buy low fat Chocolate in Ontario it's only produced for a few big boys who make cakes out of it, they don't serve chocolate cones.
If I was setting this...
I need some advice on this machine.
If not from Stoelting maybe from talortech.
Here's the story.
I have been in the HVACR business since 1970 and have done many things so I'm not dumb.
Now that brought a tear to my eye, in joy for you.
We play the cards we are delt, you just won.
The old fight between the office and the field, does your owner show you the pictures of his new boat,house,car,wife,ect to show you how he's spending your hard earned money.
If your boss want's you...
You made one of my points.
Money isn't everything, you are the highest paid in the area and your guys are still looking for more.
Find out what more is, you'll be surprised when you find out it...
Here's a program I am fond of.
A boss that knows where he is going and how to get there.
A boss that leads by example.
A boss that shares the wealth created by the company.
A boss that knows...
With a duct stat.
Move the coils or if the moneys not there install a fosil fuel kit to protect what's there and put it in a letter to the owners.
It's there problem and decision not yours.
