And, while your world is seeming to spin on a different axis, everyone else's world goes on. How do you reinvent yourself after a loss?
Join us for this two-part workshop on how to find your way back to thriving when you have experienced loss. In a comfortable, serene setting, you will learn the skills and resources for reinvention, and then, a few weeks later when you have had a chance to put what you have learned into action, come back for a "tune-up" with encouraging friends and coaches.

I apologise if this gets very long but I need some advice on what to do. I'm trying to keep things as short as possible.
Am a single mum of 2 children & 10 weeks pregnant. I had a long on-again-off-again relationship with my children's father as he struggled with drugs and general irresponsibility. Were young when our first were born but not THAT young (23 & 19). He is 26 now and just not ready for adulthood. We split up for the last time end of October, there were a long history of him either being in trouble or tashing on with other girls or what have you and finally I got sick of it and stopped trying to make it work "for the kids".
Now I have this friend whom I met even prior to to having kids or meeting my ex but he were married at the time and honestly I were best friends with his wife and that's how I met him. He and his wife divorced a little under a year ago. And since it were going to be both of our first Christmases alone as single parents we opted to spend it together so as not to spend it alone with the wee ones.
I've always really liked him as a person and after some fairly intense discussions tonight after kids were put to bed I realised that I could see myself falling in love with him and he admitted the same and asked if I were interested in giving it a try.
I told him I have to think it over and I do have to think it over but am asking for advice as am new to this whole thing having not been with anyone in over 4 years. We live 3k miles apart most of the year. We're both coming in with children (and yes he's aware of my pregnancy) after somewhat hostile divorces. And maybe all this means that we'll understand each other better than anyone else but it still scares me as these seems like odds stacked against us. I don't feel like I need more time to mourn my first relationship as I honestly feel empowered having gotten out of a relationship with him before it turned abusive instead of garden-variety toxic.
He's very clean cut & gentlemanly and kind, patient, good with my children and his own, patient, funny, charming. He works very hard and is the opposite of the man I dated before but in all the best ways and I could see myself with him for a long time but am fearful about the fact that the odds are stacked against us in so many ways.
What are your thoughts? Is it setting ourselves up to fail to try and make it work despite the fact that so many things are working against us or is it better to try than to live your life asking questions?

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Meningitis: Long-Term Problems - Topic Overview
People who have bacterial meningitis may have long-term complications, including:
- Permanent brain damage. Meningitis can cause long-term problems such as hearing loss (ranging from slight to total), learning problems (including intellectual disabilities), seizures, vision problems (including blindness), paralysis of one or more parts of the body, behavior problems, or personality changes.
- Long-term physical problems. Heart, liver, or intestinal problems or deformities of the arms and legs can develop. These usually occur in newborns and young children.
- Vulnerable child syndrome. This condition can occur after a child recovers from any serious illness. Parents worry that their child will become sick again and try to protect the child from all illness. If the child notices the parents' worry, he or she may develop behavioral problems.

Spring Cleanse Vegetable Juice - Juicer
Total Time
Prep 3 mins
Cook 0 mins
A simple spring cleansing juice for those who like to juice. I use my LaLane juicer, so there is no chopping required.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 carrots, greens discarded
- 1⁄2 cucumber
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 garlic clove
- 1⁄2 cup fresh parsley
- Wash all the ingredients and put in a juicer or food processor.
Most Helpful
The carrots and the celery have a nice sort of combination going on in this juice. I tried it and loved it. Thanks!
Thank you for posting a new juicer recipe to try. Unfortunately the taste was really not appealing to me. The parsley and the garlic tastes were too strong.
This was pretty good ... a bit strong for a morning drink but tasty. I did peel the cucumber as the skin is a bit bitter.

On morality, traffic and voting
Published: Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 31, 2008 at 7:46 p.m.
To The Editor: I hear a lot of comments about what has changed since the late 1940s and 50s, that our country has gone downhill morally. The thing that has changed and lost us so much problems is parenting.
Children are not raised to respect other people and their property and lack discipline. Teachers are not supposed to teach these things. Parents are supposed to back up the teacher. But what can you expect when that is the way they were raised.
Now as to the problem of three lanes on Sixth Avenue. Go to Druid Hills and get two of the do not enter barricades and take them to the intersection of Prince and Sixth Avenue. Start your three lane at the intersection, not disturbing the cemetery, saving $20 million We really only need turn lane at Justice and Fleming.
One more traffic problem: Locust Street had a double yellow line the full length. Now we have two blocks with no white or yellow lines so all traffic can use the whole street. If accident occurs, no one at fault. A lot of lawyers have fun.
When you are in that voting booth, be careful. Remember you reap what you sow!

The Hiders: Music, Americana Style
Song List
- "Everything I Wanted"
- "Bury Me"
The here's a good reason why The Hiders list Neil Young on their MySpace page as the first of many influences on their new album, Valentine.
Young's spirit permeates throughout their songs, but there's also a musically robust Americana style that recalls such genre classics as Uncle Tupelo, Sparklehorse, Emmylou Harris and The Band. The Hiders also make a strong companion to current rustic rock artists such as Band of Horses and My Morning Jacket.
The band is fronted by a Cincinnati music veteran. Singer-songwriter-guitarist Bill Alletzhauser is a former member of Ohio alt-country group The Ass Ponys. Anchored by Beth Harris's sweet yet aching harmonies, The Hider's debut balances slow-burning love songs and full-on rockers with mesmerizing results.

Honda Recalls Fit Model
Honda Motor Co. announced that it would recall 1,355,217 Fit subcompact cars because of a flaw that could lead to the failure of the low-beam headlights.
The flaw results from the routing of the wiring for the headlight control switch, which can allow rubbing that could cause the wiring connectors to become worn and fail.
The recall includes 143,083 Fit vehicles in the U.S. from model years 2007 and 2008, 734,392 Fits in Japan and about 380,000 similar Honda Jazz models in Europe, said spokeswoman Christina Ra.

If I browse to an image, I would like my web browser to display it on black (not white). How can I do that?
You didn't say you use Chrome exclusively, so for Firefox, you can use the Old Default Image Style add-on. It allows you to specify a custom colour for images, as well as to choose whether to show them in the centre or top-left corner.
There is a chrome extension which allow you to change the behavior of chrome when you open an image: Image to center.
In addition to center the image in the browser instead of having it in the top-left corner, you will be able to select a solid background color of your choice or a checkerboard one like on Photoshop.
It's very useful when you are looking for a well aliased picture as there is a lot of png file with some transparency but which render well only on a white background. So you just lose the interest of having transparency and that kind of pictures are still displayed in the google result with alpha filter.

We would like to use woocommerce for customer sandwich orders.
The idea is we will have two products - large/small sandwiches and in each you will have the option to choose:
-Type of bread
-Meat (multiple choices)
-Cheese (multiple choices)
-Condiment (multiple choices)
Ideally you could add two or more sandwiches, each with different options in the shopping cart.
At checkout we would want them to just place the order without paying and when they come to the store they pick up and pay at the POS.
Is this a something that woocommerce can handle?

Alabama had a rough finish to the 2013 season. The Crimson Tide lost to Auburn in the Iron Bowl and Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl to end the year on a two game losing streak. Alabama is looking to get back on top of the college football world. Head coach Nick Saban says his team is definitely in a different situation than they have been the last couple of years coming off successful seasons winning a championship. "The emphasis for us is for our players to reestablish their identity. For us to reestablish our identity as a team. I think to do that everybody has to buy in, 100 percent buy in to the principles and values that helped us be successful before."
Alabama has seven starters back on offense but will have to replace quarterback A.J. McCarron. The Crimson Tide offense will look a little different this year with Lane Kiffin taking over as the offensive coordinator.
Defensively Alabama has five starters back from last season. In 2013 the Crimson Tide led the SEC in total defense giving up 286 yards per game and scoring defense allowing just under 14 points per game.
Alabama will open the 2014 season August 30 against West Virginia in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

World Cup 2010
Seeing Red: Don't Show Me Your Card!
One of the reasons it's called 'The Beautiful Game' is its stripped down accessibility. Eleven players to a side, a big patch of green and one very obvious objective: put the ball in the goal. The rules are easily digestible for a casual fan like me.
Just when I think there's something uniquely pure and primal about this game, there's an infraction on the field. There's a lot of arm waving and gesticulating by the players. What does the referee do? Does he get right back into the player's grill? Or toss the offender with a dramatic flourish like he might in baseball?
The official takes out a wallet. And from that wallet he brandishes a card, red or yellow.
At a moment of truth, a card comes out of a referee's wallet, like a salesman making a final pitch to a new client. Talk about draining the buzz out of the game. Let's stipulate this here: Wallets and cards don't belong on the field of play. They're just too incongruous and nerdy. At least that's my perspective. Wallets and cards bring to mind the workaday world during our moment of escape.
That's a violation in itself.
And one other thing. I don't know about soccer refs, but I carry around a bunch of cards in my wallet. What if there's a foul, and instead of pulling out yellow or red, the ref mistakenly takes out a Safeway Club card or a Borders gift card. Talk about losing your standing in an instant.
Okay, I've made my stand. It's a game, not a meeting. No more cards. No more wallets. Let's think of an infraction signal for those referees that's more sporting and less corporate.
If you're on board, write in suggestions by commenting below.
Or maybe you're a wallet-and-card kind of soccer fan in which case you're probably seeing red and thinking I should be banished from the blog –- until the knockout round at least

|HTC One Max
|Price in India
|HTC One Max Price at Flipkart
|Rs. 32,000
|HTC One Max Price at Shopclues
|Rs. 49,500
The HTC One Max is the first phablet device from the Taiwanese manufacturer. The device is going to be one of the most powerful smartphones announced in 2013. The phone will resemble to the HTC One but with a removable battery and a lot more power under the hood. The phone features a 5.9-inch Full HD touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The device should come with Android v4.3 (Jelly Bean). The device will be powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 processor, which is surprisingly a bit slower than the processor used in the HTC One. The device has 2 GB of RAM that makes it very fast for multi-tasking operations.
Camera and Multimedia
The HTC One Max comes with a 4 MP Ultrapixel camera and is one of the best camera phones in the world, thanks to amazing low-light images that can be captured with its 2.0 Micro Meter pixels and F/2.0 Aperture value. The phone will have features like Zoe mode, face detection, simultaneous image and video recording and many more. The device also has a front facing shooter that is of 2.1 MP, which can also record HD videos and is ideal for video calling. HTC's BoomSound technology powered by Beats Audio is a great addition. The device supports video and audio formats like DivX, XviD, MP4, H.263, H.264, WMV, MP3, eAAC+, WMA, WAV, and FLAC.
Connectivity and Features
The connectivity features of HTC One Max are similar to those of the HTC One. The phone has 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n, NFC and 4G LTE in markets where such networks exist. Apart from all the sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, ambient light sensor and magnetometer, it also features a finger-print sensor at the back of the device. HTC's Sense v5.5 User Interface has a lot of new features that are aimed at making it easier for users to connect and share using their social networks. This is done through BlinkFeed, a utility that acts as a social news aggregator in which a user's social networking information is shown along with news content from over 1200 sources in a single central location.
Battery and Storage
Unlike HTC One, The HTC One Max will have a removable 3300 mAh Li-Ion battery under the hood. The device will come with 16GB or 32 GB of internal storage and it would also sport a microSD card slot for storage expansion.

Starting Cap Room at $7.4M
Resign ($-12M): Boldin, Brown, Wright, Wilhoite, Dawson
Cut ($+10M): Rogers (June 1st cut), Dahl, Baldwin, Snyder
Extend/Restructure ($+10M): Gore, Davis, Willis
Free Agency ($-7M):
Louis Delmas - S - Lions (Cut)
*Cheaper and younger safety that fits our scheme. Similar to Eric Wright, we've expressed interest in recent years.
Jonathan Martin - OT/OG - Dolphins (Cut)
*Signs a 2 year prove it deal to restart his NFL career. Potential replacement for Iupati at LG. Very cheap depth player on our roster, and younger than Snyder.
Lemuel Jeanpierre - OG/C - Seahawks (RFA - no forfeited picks)
*Pinch hit for Unger and played surprisingly well. We lost out on a great center prospect in Brian de la Puente that ended up as a very good starter for the Saints. It's time for us to poach.
Darrius Heyward-Bey - WR - Colts
*Vertical threat on our offense and plays special teams (not a returner). Replacement for Osgood. Cheap 2 year deal.
NFL Draft:
49ers trade 1st, 3rd, and LaMichael James for Jets 1st round pick
R1: Ra'Shede Hageman - DT/DE - Minnesota (via Jets)
*Explosive playmaker that has the perfect blend of size, speed, and strength to become a pro bowl player in the league. With a heavier rotation in our D-line, he will see action immediately.
49ers trade 2nd (via Chiefs), 4th, and 7th round picks for Titans 2nd round pick
R2: Jordan Matthews - WR - Vanderbilt (via Titans)
*A nice combination of skills that fits our offensive philosophy. Potential replacement for Crabtree.
R2: Ahmad Dixon - S - Baylor
*Competes with Delmas for the starting strong safety position. Projects to be a solid safety in the NFL.
R3: Michael Sam - DE/LB - Missouri (via Titans)
*Skuta shifts back to ILB, and we have two backup bookends to supplement our pass rush.
R4: Antone Exum - CB - Virginia (comp)
*Big, physical cornerback coming off an ACL injury. The injury, plus questions around his projected position in the NFL, will make him fall here. Much needed size in our secondary.
R5: David Fales - QB - San Jose State
*Competes for the backup gig to Kap.
R6: Rajion Neal - RB - Tennessee
*Similar playing style to Gore, Neal will provide depth to the position.
R7: Corry "Pitt" Brown - WR/PR - Ohio State (via Saints)
*Solid receiver with punt return skills from a good program. Good value pick here.
R7: Trey Millard - RB/FB/TE - Oklahoma (via Panthers)
*FB + Torn ACL = dropping in the draft. Lattimore and Millard is the future offense for the 49ers.

South Korea on Thursday offered North Korea formal talks to resolve the suspended operations at their joint Kaesong industrial zone, and warned of "grave action" if Pyongyang declines.
"We officially propose talks between government authorities," Unification Ministry Spokesman Kim Hyung-Seok, adding that Pyongyang should reply to the offer by Friday.
"If North Korea rejects these proposed official talks, we would have to take grave action," Kim said, without elaborating.

Do not even think about trying to stop a property crime in Wisconsin, Felony or not dose not madder. You can only act if your life is in danger or in your home and you better have proof.
Legal or not, property is recoverable / replaceable. A life is not. Unless my life or anothers was in immediate danger, I would probably let it go and call LEO's.
I Shoot Birds With A Canon.
Even if I can legally shoot to protect property I wont be shooting to protect property unless it's a family heirloom or something like that. (My castle being an exception of course).

"Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God." - Benjamin Franklin
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." - C.S. Lewis
If this happens enough, people who prey upon others will find other means of amusement. Hooray for Tennessee. I don't think I would shoot someone stealing my TV or my lawnmower,my truck-now that is something else. Don't mess with my truck or my dogs
I've read and understand what people mean about not wanting to take a life. Its something most people would rather not do.
But I also understand that there would be a lot less lawlessness if criminals were actually treated as criminals, not as a victimized person. They were doing the victimizing...
Its a sad state of affairs when a criminal can hide behind the law when a person was merely trying to protect something of theirs.
I suppose there's always that part of every scenario where you say... oh yeah? What if it was_____ . We can what if each other to death... but situations like this will always come down to luck for the persons involved.
Luck that their lawyer can get the jury to see thing his way, luck that the perps didn't get shot and killed, or shoot and kill the owner of the truck.
Luck that the perps didn't panic after being shot at and then crash into a car with a persons wife and newborn twins in it...
My point is that there's always the "what if" side of things. And there's going to be as many different views on the "what if" as there are people talking about it.
I'm glad the owner was cleared, I think the perps are lucky they weren't killed, and I'm glad a bullet didn't stray. If I were in the same situation, I'm glad I live in the lone star state... but i'd definitely want to be using my head and aiming true... :)
Not legal in Tn,we are not leo,not empowered to use a firearm except in self defense,fortunately our peers sometimes see it differently.
Drawback is guy couldnt hit a truck,had he shot someone or something in the background those same people would bury him as well as any who emulate,works both ways.
Personally 100 hrs community service and 100 hrs on a range with a qualifier thereafter seems fit.If you cant hit a truck pretty bad off.And should know better to do so.
What if this joker cuts loose inside a crowded store?
If I'm following the law and protecting my property, who are you to cast judgement? (Answer: No one) If what I'm doing is legal, I can live with it.
A requirement for crime is mens rea, or "criminal mind". If there is no intent, there is no crime. Recklessly: the actor is aware that the attendant circumstances exist, but nevertheless engages in the conduct that a "law-abiding person" would have refrained from. Therefor if it's legal, it's not reckless, therefor there is no crime. Seems like the grand jury did a good job at following the letter of the law.
A grand jury, after hearing all the facts, declared him not guilty. Maybe we should give a little credit to the decision of the jury and the shooter. I see no indication that this is a man that would cut loose inside a crowded store.
I'm too young to be this old!
Getting old isn't good for you!
I certainly wouldn't count on the next grand jury members voting a "No True Bill" on any similar cases.
And I certainly would not want to be one of the test cases.

Does illegality breed violence? Drug trafficking and state-sponsored protection rackets

Illegality does not necessarily breed violence. The relationship between illicit markets and violence depends on institutions of protection. When state-sponsored protection rackets form, illicit markets can be peaceful. Conversely, the breakdown of state-sponsored protection rackets, which may result from well-meaning policy reforms intended to improve law enforcement, can lead to violence. The cases of drug trafficking in contemporary Mexico and Burma show how a focus on the emergence and breakdown of state-sponsored protection rackets helps explain variation in levels of violence both within and across illicit markets.

Minesweeper pendant by ALINAFMdotROWatch
©2013-2016 ALINAFMdotRO
Hahaha that is just so epic. : D
That's awesome! I used to *try* to play it but could never really figure it out... as mentioned by someone else below, it was a really cool idea to make the pendant 3D
Thank you! It's a pretty logical game. There is one rule... a number has around it as many bombs as the number itself says. 1 only has one bomb around it, 2 only 2 bombs and so on.
OOOH haha that makes sense. I was always covering my eyes and randomly stabbing at numbers with my fingers crossed. Fail!
Brilliant - I love the 3D effect of the raised ones and not raised ones. And very consistent with the game. Awesome
wow! This is awesome!
As always (:
As always (:
That's a lovely one
I used to love that game
I still do, just don't play it much nowadays.
This is so awesome! I love Minesweeper.
Love this game!!
This would have been so cool if it was playable aha!
Also it would have been a lot bigger.
Daw! This is precious
This is the best idea. I've never seen minesweeper crafts
That's an amazing idea and its realization!

Losses by Top 10 teams Florida State, Georgia, LSU, and Texas resulted in big changes in both the AP and USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll this week.
Florida State lost 17-16 at unranked NC State to fall from 3rd to 12th in the AP Poll and 4th to 11th in the Coaches Poll. LSU, which was 4th in the AP and 3rd in the Coaches, lost at Florida 14-6 and dropped to 9th and 8th, respectively.
Georgia, previously ranked 5th in both polls, fell even further after getting demolished 35-7 at no. 6 South Carolina. The Bulldogs are now ranked 14th in the AP Poll and 12th in the Coaches Poll.
The Texas Longhorns also dropped out of the Top 10 after suffering a 48-45 defeat at the hands of new Big 12 member West Virginia. UT is now 15th in both polls.
The new AP Top 5 is now Alabama, Oregon, South Carolina, Florida, and West Virginia. The Coaches Top 5 is Alabama, Oregon, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Kansas State. The full polls are listed below.

Re: Rate these fighters: Tszyu, Arbachakov, Nazarov
Punching power - I like Tszyu here, almost has more KO's than the other guys have total fights
Speed - no contest, Arbachakov
Footwork - none of them are great - Arbachakov seemed most "effective" doing what he wanted to do (cut off the ring) but I have only seen a couple of his fights
Defense - none stands out, all would get hit to give hits - maybe Arbachakov shades this, he also seems to me - the 'cleanest' fighter of the group in terms of both technique and fouls, but I haven't seen a lot of him.
Chin - Tszyu is good, Arbachakov is very good, Nazarov was Iron
Heart - Nazarov shades this IMO - the title fight he lost by decision he lost an eye in the THIRD round and didn't quit
Resume -Arbachkov for me, heck, 1/2 his total fights are title fights! Tszyu has good scalps though...
Overall P4P - Arbachkov, Tszyu then Nazarov but they are all very close for me. I like Nazarov's heart, Tszyu's power and Arbachkov's speed and skills!

Breakfast the next morning after our run
This day we decide to do a canyon hike.
To get to Behunin Canyon, we followed the same route that we ran the previous day.
On the way up towards Angels Landing.
The trail was carved out of the side of the sandstone rock face.
Lots of switchbacks
Looking down Zion Canyon.
Jason really wanted to get to the top fast.
We took a side detour to the top of Angels Landing.
The park service put up chains
some sections had some scrambling
The top of Angels Landing had great views in all directions.
On the highest point.
More views
Looking back to the saddle where we came from.
Shadow on red sandstone
We took the West Rim Trail to the head of Behunin Canyon. From there we followed the fainter trail down into the canyon.
dropping into the canyon
looking down canyon.
looking back up canyon
lots of colorful leaves.
Andy avoiding the water.
There was much more water than I was expected, but no manditory getting wet.
Approaching the first rappel along an icy stream
Jason at the bottom of the first rappel
Coming down the second rappel
Looking down at the bottom of the 3rd rappel
Andy was happy to do his first technical canyon.

Calita on the second to last rappel. The rope got stuck in this rappel and turned into an adventure to get it down.
The canyon ends here, just above the Emerald Pools.
Sunset and we still have a stuck rope. It was totally dark by the time I got off the last rappel. Good Times!!

"Yambio, South Sudan" Yambio by Avenge
Yambio Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 1 photos
WARNING: In no way am I encouraging you to travel to South Sudan. At the time I traveled fighting was still ongoing, but recent peace talks have calmed that down a bit. However, it is still a dangerous place to visit.
I visited south Sudan with an aid organization. We flew in on a UN Grand Caravan from their base in Lokicoggio, northern Kenya. The UN demanded that I carry a "quick run" kit so at any time if we came under attack I would have 4 days supply of food and water and be able to trek about 100km to a landing field where they could pick us up.
Landing in Maridi, the pilots buzz the airstrips to ensure no goats or other animals are on the runway and also check for any dropped ordnance.
There's not much to see in southern Sudan. It's quite different from the north, more like Uganda. There is nothing, absolutely nothing when you leave the village of Maridi. The "towns" you see on maps, may not be more than a few tukuls clumped together.
Transportation is limited. Driving from Maridi toYambio to Tore, I only saw two other trucks during 12 hours of driving. Roads are horrendous and there is no help if something happens. Only the radio that you hope remains working. For us, we had to do hourly checks with the UN base, so I felt ok.
IF you go to southern Sudan, you must register with one of the rebel organizations that is in control (SPLA or SPLM I think). If you get a stamp from northern Sudan in your passport and then go to southern Sudan, you may be in trouble...big trouble.
Would not recommend traveling here. Undetonated ordnance is a problem. There is no infrastructure. Even if people wanted to help you, they may not be able to.
- Pros:Beautiful, untouched landscape.
- Cons:war, no infrastructure, no backup, no help. lots of guns,
- In a nutshell:Glad I made it out...
Reviews (2)
Be aware that unexploded ordnance does exist. Keep on well marked trails. DO NOT touch anything that appears to be... more travel advice
Very few restaurants exist in this region. I found one between Yambio and Maridi, but besides that did not see any... more travel advice

DFL Minority Leader Paul Thissen calls for embattled Rep. Kerry Gauthier to step down
Thissen (right) is the first DFL leader to call for Gauthier to step down.
-- Kerry Gauthier sex scandal: Are these his oral sex-seeking Craigslist posts?
-- Rep. Gauthier, 56, claims rest-stop oral sex with Craigslist boy, 17, was consensual
Republicans have already called for Duluth DFL Rep. Kerry Gauthier to step down. It took Minnesota Democrats a few days longer, but now they've also arrived at the conclusion that Gauthier must go.
Today, Minority Leader Paul Thissen, D-Minneapolis, issued a statement calling for Gauthier to "withdraw from the race for reelection."
Here's Thissen's statement:
I am deeply disappointed with Rep. Kerry Gauthier's conduct that has been reported over the last several days. The conduct was wrong and no one in the DFL House Caucus condones the behavior.
After being admitted for a serious health condition last Wednesday morning Rep. Gauthier was released from the hospital over the weekend and I was able to visit with him. It was the first time he and I had spoken since we all learned of the events of last month. I shared with him that his friends and colleagues are concerned for him and his health, but also that we were all very disappointed in his behavior. I expect he will address these issues publicly and soon.
As I shared with Rep. Gauthier, I believe he should withdraw from the race for reelection. In the meantime, we will keep Rep. Gauthier in our thoughts as he continues to recover, and look forward to hearing more from him - and the people of his district - in the coming days.
Minutes after Thissen released his statement, the Star Tribune published an editorial that arrives as the same conclusion.
From the Strib:
Duluth DFL state Rep. Kerry Gauthier may not have broken any law on July 22 when police interrupted his sex act with a 17-year-old behind a highway rest stop. But Gauthier's violation of the standard of conduct Minnesotans expect of their elected officials is clear. He should resign.
... Solicitation for sex in a public place with a stranger, male or female, nearly 40 years one's junior is conduct unbecoming an elected official. That's why House leaders of both parties, GOP Speaker Kurt Zellers and DFL Minority Leader Paul Thissen, have called on Gauthier to step down.
A resignation now would come too late to remove Gauthier's name from the ballot. That situation points to a defect in the state's election law. But it ought not delay his resignation, nor impede DFL Party efforts to unite behind another candidate. The time remaining until Nov. 6 is sufficient for a well-orchestrated write-in campaign in District 7B.
Historically, District 7B (and, more broadly, Duluth) is a Democratic stronghold. But the DFL's chances of holding on to the House seat will be complicated by the difficulties involved in organizing a last-minute write-in campaign.
Gonna call it now: GOP wins Gauthier's seat, even though DFL candidates (inc. write-ins) will have more overall votes.
-- Patrick (@panndder) August 20, 2012
Gauthier is out of the hospital but still hasn't publicly commented on the firestorm his Craigslist-facilitated oral-sex rendezvous with a 17-year-old boy has created. We'll keep you posted.

Hello all, it's time for a new vid! Back in 1665 an enormous warship, named The London, exploded in the Thames Estuary. The crew had been preparing a seventeen gun salute before the vessel was due to set sail for the Second Anglo-Dutch War when a stray flame ignited 300 barrels of gunpowder. A team

Workshop: To Repot or Not?
Location: Greenhouse & Meet in Visitor Center
Part of: Garden Events
Have you kept your orchid alive for a full year? Congratulations! Even with a successful monthly orchid care routine, your plant will benefit from some extra love and attention.
Please bring up to two orchids from home (along with two plastic pots with drain holes) to this hands-on workshop and learn how to keep your plants happy and healthy.
Orchids need to be repotted every 1-2 years. Each type of plant requires a different potting material and technique. Your plants will leave this workshop with a "good home" and reward you with years of gorgeous flowers. It's not as hard as you think!
Led by Jason Gedeik, head of design operations. Payment is required in advance due to materials fees, and is non-refundable. This program is limited to 10 people, and must have a minimum of 5 participants to take place. In the unlikely event that workshop is cancelled, participants may choose to participate in another session.

Not impressed at all
I use to play this game on the computer and I loved it. But the app is awful and a waste of time and money which I didn't know until after I bought it 😡. The fish die way to fast it is completely not realistic and they get sick way to fast. I care for my fish all the time but it really doesn't seem to mater. And I hate the fact that you can't set your own price for the fish if it is even 10 dollars over the fair price people in the fish shop will not buy them, that's so stupid, it is my shop and I should be able to sell the fish at any price. So until you all fix this game I will not give it a better rating and I will tell everyone I know not to buy it. And trust me I know a lot of people.
I have this on the computer too but I beat that version. I would say that the wait is too long, I know the time travel glitch though so it's not a problem. This game is a great time killer. And for all of those amateurs who say their fish die too fast, you are probably breeding really unstable hybrids in low level Enviroment. As for the blurry graphics, I think this is one of those games more meant for an iPad, but I like it on my regular iPhone anyway.
Great app
I purchased everything you need in the game and breed rare fish I sell from $55-$88. I thought that the game was short but I 'm still selling fish making money I can't spend on anything. One of the best apps to buy but I would like a bigger and better version made with more tanks, a way to upgrade your store or even open other stores in other locations where you can exchange inventory, hire staff etc.

The Economic Case for Fiscal Federalism in Scotland
In this paper we consider the case for assigning tax revenues to Scotland, by which we mean that taxes levied on Scottish tax bases should be returned to the Scottish budget. The budget, however, would continue to be supplemented by transfers from the Westminster budget. This arrangement differs from the current situation whereby public spending is largely financed by a bloc grant from Westminster. Our suggestion falls short of full fiscal federalism for Scotland . meaning that Scotland had control over choice of tax base and of tax rates, and fiscal transfers from Westminster would be minimal. We use propositions drawn from the theory of fiscal federalism to argue for a smaller vertical imbalance between taxes retained in Scotland and public spending in Scotland. A closer matching of spending with taxes would better signal to beneficiaries the true costs of public spending in terms of taxes raised. It would also create more complete incentives for politicians to provide public goods and services in quantities and at qualities that voters are actually willing to pay for. Under the current bloc grant system, the marginal tax cost of spending does not enter into political agents. calculations as spending is out of a fixed total budget. Moreover, the Scottish electorate is hindered in signaling its desire for local public goods and services since the size of the total budget is determined by a rigid formula set by Westminster. At the present time we reject proposals for full fiscal federalism because in sharply reducing vertical imbalance in the Scottish budget, it is likely to worsen horizontal balance between Scotland and the other UK regions. Horizontal balance occurs where similarly situated regions enjoy the same per capita level of public goods and services at the same per capita tax cost. The complete removal of the bloc grant under full fiscal federalism would remove the mechanism that currently promotes horizontal equity in the UK. Variability in own-source tax revenues creates other problems with full fiscal federalism. Taxes derived from North Sea oil would constitute a large proportion of Scottish taxes, but these are known to be volatile in the face of variable oil prices and the pound-dollar exchange rate. At the present time variability in oil tax revenue is absorbed by Westminster. Scotland is insulated through the bloc grant. This risk sharing mechanism would be lost with full fiscal federalism. It is true that Scotland could turn to financial markets to tide itself over oil tax revenue downturns, but as a much smaller and less diversified financial entity than the UK as a whole it would probably have to borrow on less favorable terms than can Westminster. Scotland would have to bear this extra cost itself. Also, with full fiscal federalism it is difficult to see how the Scottish budget could be used as a macroeconomic stabilizer. At present, tax revenue downturns in Scotland - together with the steady bloc grant - are absorbed through an increase in vertical imbalance. This acts as an automatic stabilizer for the Scottish economy. No such mechanism would exist under full fiscal federalism. The borrowing alternative would still exist but on the less favorable terms - as with borrowing to finance oil tax shortfalls

Officially accepted an offer of admission to Brown University. Still not sure that this wasn't some kind of mistake by them. #tooexcited
Last night at a party, I actually made a group of at least ten people listen to me read what I have identified as my best tweets.
I just messed up a pre-packaged noodle meal in case any of you single fellas are looking for a domestic goddess.
I just put on running shoes and a sports bra to go buy a milkshake. #fitness #fitgirl #lovemybody
"Your password must contain a letter, a number, a non-alphanumerical symbol and the blood of a virgin."
Welcome to Brown University, where there is a line of people outside the library, waiting for it to open in fifteen minutes.
8th grader: "Miss, my life IS hard. Sometimes when I eat potato chips, I can't hear the tv."
At that age where I do a wedding ring check on the men I find attractive. Sigh.
One day I'll tell my dad that I have his email address saved and he doesn't need to make "from dad" the subject line of every email.
Dear Future Boyfriend:
I promise never to drag you to one of those places where you drink wine and paint some tacky landscape.
Love, Molly
Not having a car makes me feel like a trendy, environmentally-friendly hipster and then it rains and I remember that I'm just poor.
I just lost ten minutes of my life looking at a 52-picture slideshow of celebrity baby bumps.
Do they even let you do crossfit if you're not going to brag about it to everyone you meet?
I'm ready for the next chapter of my life. No more kissing guys who have their ears pierced. #bigchanges
Stay tuned for more vaguely inspirational relationship garbage brought to you by me being 22, single and lonely.
I'll sing "Wicked" alone in my apartment on a Friday night and love every minute of it. Haters to the left.
what if I get drunk and talk about Darfur too much? or worse: not enough?!?

ISI Group Reiterates Hold Rating, $37 PT on Lowe's Companies
In a report published Friday, ISI Group reiterated its Hold rating and $37.00 price target on Lowe's Companies (NYSE: LOW).
ISI Group noted, "LOW outlined a similar, yet refined path to the 2015 target highlighted last year - while much work remains to be done, the plan seems achievable if the macro is accommodative. The focus remains on improving asset productivity (both stores and inventory), while making the shopping experience simpler. LOW played down assumptions on macro traffic and ticket, and focused on how the new customer development model and assortment should improve close rates. While LOW is a year further into the process, early success may not be indicative of where LOW could be in 2015 - with a target on $8B in revenue growth or 4.9% avg topline through 2015, LOW has much ground to cover."
Lowe's Companies closed on Thursday at $35.20.

Comment Re:Does it now support HDDs larger than 2 GB? (Score 1) 229
Yes, it does support hard drives bigger than 2 GB. _Long_ time ago the ext2 file system implementation could not handle _partitions_ larger than circa 2 GB because the file system was implemented using mmap (cool is it not?). That restriction would not have been a problem if the operating system had been ported to 64-bit architectures.
Hurd is working --- its biggest problems are stability and driver support. It is a beautiful system that has little value for normal users as Linux is more stable and has better drivers. The beauty of writing file systems, network stacks etc in user space is amazing. So is the possibility for the _normal_ user to create their own file systems, in any language, using any libraries and mount them without root access.
