MMP, I am talking Domestos although a sudden thought, i wonder if a quick squirt with the Bathroom Spray would see them off.Sharp sand or gravel do not keep them off I have tried it and know they will cross yards of it and egg shell to get to a tasty plant.Hens and Ducks will clear them for you, they did the job in my Fathers garden, he always let the hens have free run of the gardenIt was a large one and his motto was one row for the beasties, two rows for us so he did allow for them.
Pentillie, gave up on that kind of thing years ago, even the old fashioned one lick and you are dead preventatives did not help.I found the best way is to clear the garden of anything they can hide behind, bits of wood plant pots, under the bushes in the border, pick them up drop them in a bucket with water and acid (any washing agent) and down the drain or into a hole in the ground.A couple of nights a week with torch and bucket reduces the numbers I did put some sticks in the ground with a fine loose mesh around some plants it worked.No point in being squeamish and taking them down the fields, they are homers and will be back in a week.
Outside Tomato's go out late May early June depending on whether you live North or South of Watford Gap.I live on the North East Coast so never bother to put them out until late June that is if we get any summer.We have had some cold wet nights all over the British Isles and it will cause problems if you put things out too early.You could put some fleece over them late evening and probably some thing to shelter them from cold winds, a shrub in a pot will do nicely, leave them now though and they will recover if we have some good weather.Bit late to sow more seed although some of the garden Centres may have a few left on the bargain shelves.
As an avid compost maker taught by my Father many eons ago I have never used the stuff and in fact had never heard of it so looked it up.Sounds like another sales ploy to me at £29 a tub.I use my own starter by collecting my own waste water (recycled beer) in an old plastic milk bottle I keep in the garage. "Err" shut the door and keep away from the window whilst producing said waste water, we do not want to frighten the neighbours.Apparantly Ladies recycled water does not work, I have never gone into that so cannot give advice on it.Compost needs "Air" "Heat" and "Damp" not soaking. I toss it out into my barrow give it a stir and toss it back, this gets the air in, as I toss it back and spread it with my fork I sprinkle with the watering can complete with Rose, a mix of one cup of magic milk bottle to a can of water with a very thin sprinkle of granular fertiliser, it works for me. Six weeks or so in hot weather and six months from Autumn to Spring and even Monty will not do better than that.I believe that as my Father and other old time brilliant gardeners did not need it then neither do I.
Gilly, seeds will germinate in wet sand and all take a different time to germinate and differing heat. A green house or windowsill in full sun can be too much for some that need it cooler and some shade. The main need is good light and moist not wet compost, some will need cover and others not.Good seed packets will give directions and if not a good book, scour the charity shops you will find masses of them a lot never used, the Royal Horticultural Encyclopedea's being ideal.I never give up as you can put a pot aside thinking they have failed only to find them pushing up shoots six months later. That is gardening for you, nothing guaranteed and full of surprises, probably why we do it.
Yesterday was a bit of everything,we left Stockton bathed in sunshine and went off to Helmsley, Pickering Whitby seeing rain, sun, dull, bright and back to Stockton sunshine.
Stockton today bright and sunny, lawns done and dusted, shopping finished and sonny the dog enjoyning the garden in the sun.Toms are flying up, beans and peas have had more support the Pieris Forest Flame is in full colour with the Tulips as the Daf's and Primroses as last fade away, we seem to be catching up on the lost month.

Sue, I would say the other way around, the older you get the less materialistic, the less selfish, but probably more outspoken.I probably say that from a comfortable standing although having money is not the answer to everything.Young people setting up and hitting money problems must think the world is ending, there seems no way out of the spiral and if they do not have the bank of mum and dad to fall back on as many have these days then what do they do?Mine have all borrowed one time or another and paid it back when things look up, daughter and Granddaughter came from California for Sundays Wedding helped by dad, happy to do so as it means I see them sooner than usual. Like us they are having to tighten belts, it is Global.A change of life style may look very attractive until you do it, then reality strikes home, it can cause anger, break up, the destruction of all your hopes. Never happened to me but did to people I know and not nice to watch.I have at times brought my lot back to ground level clipped their wings and ears when needed but they could have my last half penny if in trouble, that is family, one for all all for one.

Stockton dull start now lovely sunshine and warm, double figures in the greenhouse which is full to bursting, we can still have frosts in this neck of the woods so some comes out and back in at night.
I need new stakes for the Tomato's and today, they are flying up having side shooted them twice already, Ailsa Craig this year the tomato I grew up with and still think the best tasting one, a few Shirley and tumblers as well of course.
Stockton started dull now the sun is shining doors and windows open and greenhouse very warm.You would think the plants in there had never had any set back and the tomato's need stakes already.Nature heals herself.
Italophile, I did wonder but if people ask advice I give it free, maybe we should start charging if we think it a spoof.

Cures for That Post-Super Bowl Hangover
It's a rough Monday for American businesses. If you're among the legions of working professionals reeling from the aftershock of last night's beer-and-Buffalo-wing-fueled festivities—according to AOL Jobs, some 1.5 million workers call in "sick" on the day after the Super Bowl—here are some trusty hangover-fighting tactics, arranged in descending order of danger.
Bury Oneself Alive
Historically, Irish clans fought alcohol's aftereffects by burying themselves to their necks in wet river sand. "While cheeky and hilarious, the lab results were wildly inconclusive," wrote one blogger at the travel site Lot 18. "Verdict: Keep in mind for St. Paddy's Day, but have a backup plan."
Medicate Into a Coma
In a note written on Beverly Hills Hotel stationery in 1967, Hunter S. Thompson, the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, revealed his trusty cure: "12 amyl nitrites (one box), in conjunction with as many beers as necessary."
Charcoal Milkshake
According to The Hangover Handbook, 19th century English chimney sweeps drank a "warm cup of milk" mixed with a "level teaspoon of fine soot. Soot created by burning hardwood is the best. Drink slowly. Repeat after 30 minutes if you are still feeling a bit off."
Visit Xanadu
According to renowned writer and drinker Kingsley Amis, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the British Romantic poet, would self-medicate by eating six fried eggs with a glass of laudanum—an alcoholic opium drink—and seltzer.
When in Rome
Pliny the Elder, the ancient Roman philosopher, suggested eating deep-fried canary along with owl eggs. In 2002, Forbes produced a recipe based on this cure: "Some people recommend flambéing the canary with cognac immediately upon removing from the pan. This step is optional."
A Caffeinated Enema
NaturalNews.com, a site focusing on organic and herbal remedies, provides a step-by-step guide to the supposedly salvific coffee enema. "If one has a sensitive colon due to chronic illness," advises the site, "herbal teas such as chamomile or Essiac may be used instead of, or in conjunction with, the coffee enema."
Sweat It Out
According to legend, Native Americans would treat their hangovers by running until they began to sweat profusely. Then they would lick their own sweat and spit it out, believing it to be poisonous.
Just Keep Rocking
Punk rock frontman Andrew W.K. revealed his cure in a tweet: "The best cure for a hangover is more partying. Actually, the best cure for anything is more partying."
Vitamin-Packed Cocktails
Gwyneth Paltrow wrote on her self-help blog Goop: "Mercy is a drink that is almost like a health elixir, packed with amino acids, vitamins, minerals and herbs that protect your system against the inevitable hangover."
Alka-Seltzer and Its Imitators
BroBible.com, a repository for all sorts of frat-themed advice, suggests taking NUUN, "Alkaseltzer-like tablets actually invented by a Dartmouth Bro as his senior project."
Cup of Joe
According to Dr. Oz, Oprah's favorite medical authority: "Coffee's pretty effective, because alcohol is a depressant. Alcohol takes you down. … Coffee's a stimulant, so it gets you going again in the morning."
Spicy Foods
English cook and food writer Nigella Lawson told the U.K.'s Daily Mail. "Try my Eggs in Purgatory recipe. … This dish of eggs cooked in a fiery tomato sauce can feel like heaven."
Voodoo Revenge
Haitian voodoo practitioners fought their hangovers spiritually and physically—by sticking 13 black-headed pins into the cork of the offending bottle.

PARKERSBURG - Mayor Bob Newell has asked the Parkersburg Utility Board to allow local high school crew teams the use of a Staunton Avenue facility.
Newell, who acts as chairman of the utility board, on Wednesday asked that the Parkersburg High and Parkersburg South High school crew teams be allowed to store equipment at the utility's Staunton Avenue meter shop, which is in the process of being vacated.
The teams "have been wanting a place of their own for a while now," Newell said. "We've been working with them for about a year to help them find a place. This could be a help to them until they find a better facility."

The Parkersburg Utility Board and meter shop on Staunton Avenue will house the crew teams of Parkersburg South and Parkersburg high schools.
Though the building is owned by the city, its use falls under the utility board. Newell said he would have a contract drawn up by the city attorney and brought to the board for a vote at its Jan. 16 meeting.
Utility Board Manager Eric Bennett said he saw no issue with the deal.
"At this point I don't see a problem with that," he said.
The utility board purchased a facility on 19th Street about three years ago and has been in the process of moving its water distribution maintenance and meter shop to consolidate services.
The two teams are moving from their shared facility along the Ohio River in Vienna, where they had housed equipment for nearly five years, after the owner decided to lease the property to a business. The teams had looked at relocating to the Adventure Pursuit property along the Little Kanawha River near Parkersburg.
Newell said a deal with the city and the utility board would allow the vacant building to see use and still give the teams access to the Little Kanawha for practices.

harmony and timbre
Wikipedia defines harmony as:
"Harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords… Harmony is often said to refer to the 'vertical' aspect of music…"
Timbre then, is the harmony of a tone within itself. If harmony is the "vertical" aspect of music, then timbre is the inner aspect of sound. An instrument's overtone resonance is the timbre. Timbre is what defines the sonic characteristics of an instrument.
Timbre is the envelope that contains the fundamental tone.
Each instrument can manipulate timbre. Articulation, attack, decay, 'brightness,' 'darkness,' are all timbrel aspects of sound. It takes a deep listening practice to cultivate a personal timbre on an instrument, it's like a fingerprint. If you've ever instantly recognized a musician's sound from only hearing a single note, it's the timbre that you're recognizing. Seems simple enough, but the practice of timbre is far more all-encompassing than just producing an exact pitch. After all, sound is one part pitch and one part timbre.
Don Robertson also provides a very good definition of Timbre:
"It is the amplitude (loudness) and placement of the overtones that determines what the timbre, or sound quality will be. For example, clarinets sound only the odd numbered overtones, creating notes that have a purer timbre than those produced by a stringed or brass instrument. The strength the brass instrument's higher overtones makes the sound "brassy": a sound that is rich, but slightly dissonant. Additionally, not all musical instruments have overtones that exactly match the pure harmonic partials. The piano's overtones, for example are increasingly sharper than perfect harmonics because stiffness of the metal strings."

According to reports from DPS, a Sikeston drug detective and patrol officers went to 723 Matthews St. Wednesday to check on information received that an individual was selling marijuana from the home, which is situated within 2,000 feet of Sikeston Senior High School.
When the officers asked for Eric Farrell, 31, the suspect left through the rear entrance of the home, at which time he was taken into custody and arrested for two sales of marijuana.
Permission was given to DPS to search the house. Seized were several bags filled with marijuana, a marijuana growing operation and numerous pipes, bongs and other paraphernalia. The packaged marijuana weighed 4 ounces and the grow operation had one 5-foot marijuana plant, several grow lights and planting/gardening materials associated with cultivating marijuana.
Farrell has been charged by Scott County Prosecutor Paul Boyd with two counts of distribution of a controlled substance within 2,000 feet of a school, one count of intent to distribute a controlled substance and one count of attempt to manufacture a controlled substance. He was transported to Scott County Jail with bond set at $200,000.
A man and woman were arrested Thursday by DPS after a search warrant was executed at Apartment 4, 535 N. Ranney St. DPS received a tip from a concerned citizen that marijuana was being used and sold from that residence.
After several weeks of investigation, DPS narcotics officers had obtained probable cause for a search warrant. Stephanie Miles, 30, and Cletus Rhoden, 41, were at home when the search warrant was served. Narcotics officers found approximately 3 ounces of packaged marijuana and about $1,000 cash during the search. They were arrested and are being held on Scott County warrants for possession with intent to distribute. Bond for each is set at $100,000.
Anyone with information about these incidents or any criminal activity is asked to call DPS at 471-6200 or 471-1500. All communications are confidential.

Exciting and immediate, the rough edges and risks of live broadcasting have long been key to the medium's appeal. Who can forget 80s Saturdaymorning TV show Going Live, and the phone-in during which a cheeky viewer asked pop band Five Star: "Why are you so f*** ing crap?"
The clip, which is now a YouTube classic, also illustrates the risks brands face when diving into the live arena. While lower costs of production and technological advances have put the creation of live online video within the reach of many brands, the medium is not without its hazards.

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the New York Islanders on Saturday night at Mellon Arena by a score of 4-2 after giving up 2-goals midway through the 3rd period in a sloppy game. In a bit of irony, the tie-breaking goal was scored by rookie Blake Comeau who was called up when Islanders' forward Chris Simon was suspended 30-games for stomping on the leg of Penguins' forward Jarrko Ruutu with his skate blade last Saturday. Comeau, playing in just his 2nd game this season and the 5th of his career, beat Dany Sabourin inside the far post to give the Islanders the lead at 3-2.
For the Penguins, the schedule may have played a factor with the game coming on the heels of Thursday night's win in Boston. The team traveled back to Pittsburgh overnight and played their second game in as many nights, and 3rd game in just 4-nights. When the Islanders scored the tie-breaking goal midway through the 3rd, the Penguins just didn't have enough gas left in the tank to mount a viable comeback. The Penguins were sloppy in their own end, had difficulty dealing with the bad ice surface and didn't capitalize on their chances.
In the 1st period, the Islanders scored quickly off from a goal by Miroslav Satan at 0:44, with assists by Josef Vasicek and Brendan Witt. The Penguins bounced back late in the first when Erik Christensen found the back of the net at 18:50 to tie it 1-1. Working the boards behind the Islanders' net, Georges Laraque backhanded the puck along the boards to Gary Roberts who attempted a quick wraparound on goaltender Rick DiPietro. Roberts' attempt was stopped, but the rebound popped out to Christensen who drove it into the empty side of the net to beat DiPietro. With the assist, Gary Roberts was credited with his 900th career point.
In the 2nd period, the Penguins scored first at 4:20 on the power play as the Islanders netminder mishandled the play, leaving the net wide open for Jordan Staal who scored just his 3rd goal of the season. Sidney Crosby and Sergei Gonchar were credited with the assists. It was Pittsburgh's only goal in 6-power play chances, including a four-minute power play in the second. They are just 2-for-25 with the man advantage in the last 5-games. The Islanders managed to tie the game at 8:42 from Andy Hilbert. Tim Jackman and rookie Blake Comeau were credited with the assists.
In the 3rd, the Islanders scored twice to beat the Penguins 4-2. The tie-breaker came from the stick of Blake Comeau at 10:28 with an assist by Andy Hilbert. The insurance goal came less than a minute later at 11:05 from Trent Hunter with assists by Mike Sillinger and Ruslan Fedetenko.
Dany Sabourin stopped 20 of 24 shots and lost his 4th game in 5-starts. "We expect him to be better," said coach Michel Therrien, who may opt to use Ty Conklin against Boston again on Sunday.

US Chamber of Commerce Jobs Plan Rehashes Old, Debunked Talking Points
Farron Cousins | January 13, 2012
By Farron Cousins • Friday, January 13, 2012 - 12:53
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce released its "The State of American Business 2012" plan this week, outlining their own vision of how to create jobs in America. There were no surprises in Chamber President Tom Donohue's address to business leaders. He simply rehashed the same tired talking points that we've seen from them for years.
In addition to enacting what they call a "globally competitive tax code" and "fixing our broken immigration system," the Chamber threw out some classic gems that persist despite being able to withstand the truth test. From their newly launched FreeEnterprise.com website:
Produce American Energy and Rebuild Infrastructure. Approve the Keystone XL pipeline to put up to 250,000 Americans to work over the life of the project while preventing the EPA from enacting new regulations on fracking that sabotage a natural gas revolution. Complete Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization, which is more than four years delayed, to strengthen our aviation system and deploy the NextGen air traffic control system. Renew surface transportation funding legislation before it expires in March and invest in water infrastructure.
Advance Regulatory and Legal Reform. Pass the Administrative Procedure Act to restore sound science, quality data, and common sense to the regulatory system while curbing regulatory overreach by EPA and the National Labor Relations Board. Stop the expansion of liability at home and abroad that is sucking the vitality out of our nation's job creators.
Put more bluntly, this is the Chamber's message: Do away with environmental and health protections and let the same companies that brought us the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and countless other "accidents" expand oil drilling, fracking, and other dirty energy extraction methods in every possible place. "Trust us, we're experts," they say.

The screams were inevitable. I came ready with earplugs. But before I even thought to pop them in my ears, I spied -- or heard, rather -- a section of teenagers at the One Direction concert at AT&T Stadium who simply couldn't keep their excitement in. The shrieking began before opener Jamie Scott took the stage.
Read my review here. Meantime, below is a 19-second video summary of the concert Sunday night.
(If read the review, titled "Crying One Direction fan promises she's happy, not sad," the crying mega fan is in the video above. Fifteen-year-old Song Hoff is in the last frame, far right.)

***edited to respond to all the posts
Yeah, I just finished a stats class and learned that, too. I think these studies show a positive correlation between tv and negative outcomes for babies.
I actually live with my ILs! So I think the separate play area might work and might draw people away from the tv like pp said. I only really have to deal with it on the weekends when everyone is home at the same time. Luckily, DH started turning it off when baby seems interested in watching.
Funny- this is the second time this happened to me: on a plane with DD and the person next to me busts out an iPad and starts showing my baby a kid's show-so annoying!! I have an iPad too but there's a reason we are playing with toys instead. I know they are just trying to be nice...if they only knew all I do to avoid screen time!!

IKEA would like you to know that it's your last chance to save on the HEJ tealight holder.

IKEA would like you to know that it's your last chance to save on the HEJ tealight holder.
(Photo:Thanks, Matt!)
Oh no, not Ikea!
what the flarke?
Could be worse…
…could be like Walmart where they jack up the price and call it "savings".
Captain Obvious here, but hats a rather elaborate large sign to be made for something so pointless. After paying someone to design it (or enter it into a template), get it printed, mounted and displayed, they probably blew all the income they would have got from selling a hundred-thousand 29¢ tealight holders.
Every IKEA has an in-house design team and their own printing machines. Banners like that can be made in the morning before the store opens and printed out rather quickly.
I hope there are some left over after work! I only buy tealight holders during these special sales.
Vi avfärdar ingenting!
This happens more than you think. It's only sometimes that they screw up and you can see it plainly.
The grocery store near me has, several times, marked something up one day, and then the next day reduced the price back to where it was and called it a huge SALE!
Unless you know your prices, you get screwed a lot of the time.
I only shop where I'm TOLD I'm going to save~ even if I really don't. 29 cents for a tealight holder.. hmmmm… :P
My girlfriend and I, as we were moving in together, basically furnished our small apartment in Flarke. We once contemplated getting IKEA blue and yellow shirts with "Flarke is Love" written on the back.
"wow! it was TWENTY nine cents, but now it's twenty NINE cents? i must have it!"
i guess that's what they wanted to happen xD
eating post.
maybe they were referring to 29 Canadian cents in the beginning..
I love the new Ikea – "would you like a bag with this?"
.05 later you get to carry your Swedish crap home in a bag.
At least it's cheap…..29 cents isn't that bad.
This is a riot. I hate IKEA anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. I don't follow printed instruactions from China very well anyway.
If anyone is interested, HEJ means Hi in Swedish
If that's the luminary I think it is, it used to run about $7-$10. I used to share a 700-foot driveway with three other houses, and I'd have big parties, so I bought about 20 of those luminaries to line the driveway so people could find my house.
29 cents is a bargain – and at the sale price of 29 cents, doubly so.
I think everyone is missing the point here.
You see, it used to be 29 cents in small, black font, but now it's 29 cents in LARGE, RED FONT. Huge difference.
Absurdity of the sign aside, you have to wonder about the person(s) who actually designed, printed, proofread, and/or approved it. Through the whole process of design to hanging, how many "Yeah, looks good!" remarks did it receive?

Few bands in the Mid-Ohio Valley have been around as long as Liecus, but don't let their longstanding status fool you into thinking the heavy rock band has grown stale.
Quite the contrary. Despite a shake-up in their line-up over the past few years, with only guitarist Eric Seevers remaining from the original group founded in 1998, newness abounds.
The aggressive, hard rock, heavy metal sound filled with frenzied drums, screaming vocals and intricately dynamic guitar riffs is mostly gone.

And while the passion and aggression is still there, Liecus has evolved into something much more nuanced and melodic, and that change has definitely been for the band's betterment, Seevers said.
"We've kept the music very heavy and sonic, but we have melodic vocals now that can connect to a lot more people," he said. "Our audience has tripled since we've made these changes to the sound."
The transformation, Seevers said, came about mostly through the addition of Rob Yost as the band's lyricist and vocalist.

"We don't do the screaming anymore," Seevers said. "It's a lot of singing and we've found that people can definitely understand what we're doing now."
Another principle change came through the way Seevers was writing the group's music. Prior to the line-up changes, Seevers would often spend a month on a single song, cramming as many riffs into it as he could.
"I'd try to make it this big epic thing with intricate parts," he said. "Now I take songwriting so differently. I use the KISS method: Keep it simple, stupid."
Article Links
Seevers said the result is a songwriting process that takes a fraction of the time and sounds cleaner, with less of a muddled mess confusing the listener.
The band's various pieces are talented enough to let the song speak for itself. The result is definitely a less is more approach, but it's also akin to the sum being greater than the parts, to use a few hackneyed cliches.
At the beginning of the month, the band saw all these changes culminate in a battle of the bands win put on by C.A. House Music in Parkersburg. That led to some free recording time at Sweet Song Studio in Parkersburg and later in the year the band plans to head to Nashville for some more recording time.
While many bands and musicians opt for the DIY approach in recording material now that it's relatively easy and affordable to record music in a basement somewhere, Liecus prefers the traditional approach.
"If we were doing acoustic songs or playing folk music, I probably would prefer to do it the DIY way to get that rootsy, raw sound," Seevers said. "Doing rock music, and having so many parts, I just think it's a better choice to have more of a polished sound."
In the meantime, Liecus continues to play local venues, with shows in the next few weeks planned for Aug. 28 at the Bearfest Resurrection at the Eagles Club in Parkersburg, and at the Sinners and Saints bike rally in McConnelsville later that day. The group is also slated to headline the upcoming Marietta Brewing Company's music fest.
It's events like the Bearfest, though, that has Seevers most excited about the local music scene.
"The Bear's bringin in some national acts over to the Eagles Club and that's lifting up the scene a little bit," he said. "The talent has always been here, but we just need a little help from the radio stations, from the clubs and from (other media outlets), just to keep this thing rolling and keep people informed."

Greg Bonaccorsi says he values his seat on the Ohlone College board of trustees so highly that he's been willing to spend most nights away from his wife and young daughter to keep it.
Bonaccorsi represents Fremont on the community college board, but two months ago, he and his wife, who are still happily married, sold their Fremont home. She rented a house in Newark, and Bonaccorsi, to keep his seat, which includes free health insurance, rented a room 10 miles away in Fremont.
The arrangement has raised eyebrows at the college, where just last month another trustee, Nick Nardolillo, resigned after a Bay Area News Group investigation revealed that he had lived outside the district for more than a decade at his Livermore winery.
Bonaccorsi put an end to speculation that he might run for re-election next year as a Newark resident or seek an appointment to one of the district's two Newark seats if Ohlone Board President Rich Watters gets appointed to a vacant seat on the Newark City Council.
"I won't run as a Newark trustee," said Bonaccorsi, sitting in the kitchen of his Fremont rental. "I can't imagine how that would be acceptable to the Newark community."
Bonaccorsi, who grew up in Fremont and teaches science at a Fremont middle school, says he spends five nights a week to maintain legal residency at the south Fremont home on Klamath Place, where he is renting a room from a colleague for $400 a month.
His wife, Diane, signed a separate lease with her brother to rent a co-worker's three-bedroom home on Tourraine Drive in Newark for $1,500 a month -- lower rent than every three-bedroom Newark home listed over the past week on Craigslist.
Asked why they didn't rent a single home together in Fremont, Bonaccorsi said the Newark home presented an economic opportunity and that they might be able to buy it.
"It was a difficult thing to do," he said. "But I really believe I should complete my term as a Fremont resident."
Bonaccorsi receives $3,500 a year as an Ohlone trustee. Ohlone also provides the family's health insurance, which this year will amount to more than $19,000, according to the school. Getting his insurance through Ohlone also allows Bonaccorsi to keep the $5,109 a year Fremont teachers get toward their insurance coverage.
Unlike Nardolillo, there are no legal documents pointing to Bonaccorsi living anywhere other than Fremont.
Bonaccorsi said he and his wife haven't figured out their future living arrangement. The family could rent a home together in Fremont, but Bonaccorsi also left open the possibility that he would run for a second term with them continuing to live apart. "The only certainty is that I'm here now," he said.

I'm not sure if this is possible with the plugin. But on the mediaelemenjs.com website I saw this page: http://mediaelementjs.com/examples/?name=youtube which looks like it would allow you to embed youtube videos using type="video/youtube" ...is this possible yet with the wordpress plugin?
I tried using this shortcode in my post:
[video src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOEw9iiopwI" type="video/youtube"]
But it just showed me a black box with a "download file" link in it, so no go. I also tried this: (which seems to be the type YouTube uses in their embed codes)
[video src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOEw9iiopwI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"]
But that didn't work either. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible yet with the plugin?
Thanks for any help!! :)

Black Onyx scratched from Ky. Derby
LOUISVILLE Black Onyx, a 50-1 shot to win the 139th Kentucky Derby, has been scratched from the race due a "displaced chip in his left ankle," according to trainer Kelly Breen.
The horse was scratced after the deadline for another horse to enter. That prevented trainer Mike Maker from entering Fear The Kitten off the also-eligible list. Black Onyx is owned by Sterling Racing and was going to be ridden by jockey Joe Bravo.
"We noticed a swelling in his ankle previous to trained and he came back with one out of five lameness.
Breen said the colt will have surgery as soon as possible.
Black Onyx, by Rock Hard Ten, had three wins and a second from five lifetime starts. But he won two of his last races, including the Grade III Spiral Stakes.
Black Onyx was in the No. 1 post. Stewards announced that the No.1 spot would be left open. Oxbow, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, will stay in the No. 2 spot. Thus the Derby field was reduced to 19 horses.

Special Report
Risk Profiling - July 2012
Risk profiling has moved up the agenda for many financial advisers as they try to find ways of improving their client offerings.
Many tools have come onto the market to help financial advisers conduct their risk profiling of clients, helping them establish the right kind of investments to proceed with.
Risk profiling has become important not just because of the RDR, however. Many clients are anxious about the markets, after seeing a huge amount of volatility in the past three years, and some have come to realise that they were not as risk averse as they once thought. So advisers are finding that going through their risk profile, and determining which products are suitable has become a useful exercise.
But there are different factors involved in assessing risk. It is not just a case of how much risk they are able to take. It is also a question of whether there are any special circumstances, if there is employment risk, whether there is any legislative risk. And once it has been established how much risk people are able to take, then the client has to be satisfied with the risk profile they are being given. How well the investments are aligned with the correct risk profile is also important.
In recent months, the FSA has taken a close look at risk profiling practices, with concerns about whether the resulting advice is suitable to clients. Regardless, risk profiling is set to become a regular feature in many advisers' practice.

Norwegian black metallers SATYRICON have posted the following message on their official web site:"The booking of the Scandinavian tour in November is coming to an end and will be announced shortly. For now there are three shows already on sale: Oslo, Trondheim and Bergen, Norway. We are looking at approximately 10 shows in Norway, 6 in Sweden and 2 in Denmark. "As a part of this tour we will realise our ambition to make the appearance of the brass section on the 'Now, Diabolical' album become reality, live in concert. We have already done this in a scaled down version as a part of the P3 sessions show that was a concert broadcast on radio shortly before the release of the album. "This time around we have been lucky enough to join forces with the whole cavalry and we have some of the best men from The Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra and Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra joining us on stage at Sentrum Scene in Oslo, November 4th. Please note that we are talking about big-ass horns in various shapes and forms. There will be no harps, or violins for that matter! "Together with Øivind Westby that helped arrange brass for three of the songs on 'Now, Diabolical', we are arranging brass for old and new SATYRICON songs trying to give the songs a dimension and feel they normally don't have. We have moved the show to Sentrum Scene to ensure it is an all-ages show. We hope this will be a spectacular night for us the performing musicians, and the fans. The show will also be recorded and filmed." SATYRICON's latest album, "Now, Diabolical", debuted at No. 2 on the national Norwegian chart and also charted in Sweden and Finland.

Questions of Travel
by Elizabeth Bishop
Analysis: Sound Check
We love us some Liz Bish, but her poems aren't exactly known for their crazy sound qualities. "Questions of Travel" doesn't have a regular rhythm or a regular rhyme scheme. It's certainly not sing-songy. Bishop's writing is actually pretty conversational. When we read her poems, it's like we're listening in on someone's deep philosophical discussions. Bishop is subdued, careful and slow. She's like your super smart study buddy who you talk to in the wee hours of the morning.
So when suddenly a Bishop poem is all about sound, our ears definitely perk up. There are two really sound-y moments in "Questions of Travel." First, there are the poem's opening lines, which repeat the S sound over again in words like "streams," "sea," "spill," "sides," "soft," "slow." Hello, letter S!
These lines are all about flowing water—and they sound like they're about flowing water, because of all of the repeated S sounds. That's a little device we like to call sibilance. In this opening moment, we feel a little unstable. The sibilance make us feel as if we're traveling along these "crowded streams" ourselves. In other words, watch out for the waterfall ahead.
The very end of the poem is also very sound-y. The rhymes so far have been few and far between, but suddenly, everything seems to rhyme in the final stanza. There's "city," "country," "society," "free," and "be." In this moment, the traveler is thinking about the reasons we travel to faraway lands, but the actual language—all of the rhymes—make everything seem compact and close together. The repeated rhymes seem to suggest that new cities and countries are not as far apart as we might think.
The sound-y moments of the poem really stick out and hammer their points home because they contrast with the rest of the poem's conversational tone. If you really want your reader's attention, Bishop knows, just start up some strategic alliterations and rhymes. That'll get them listening.

Javier Hernandez, a Chaffey College student who attended Wednesday's rally, said more funding for community colleges is vital.
"We don't have as many classes as we used to," he said. "We find ourselves in a campus with more students but not enough funding to accommodate all these students."
Brown's budget proposal calls for deep cuts to the University of California, California State University and California Community College systems. It also calls for a special June election in which voters would be asked to extend a set of tax increases approved in 2009.
If the tax extensions aren't approved, Brown has said there will be deep cuts in K-12 education and other programs.
"Multiple generations are going to be affected by this," said Hector Guzman, a student at San Bernardino Valley College who spoke at the rally. "It's either we fight now and stop this while we can or it's just going to continue and go into the next generation.
"They (state leaders) have already screwed up so much of the K-12 system, and now the kids are dealing with that. Now they're going to have to deal with the issues of the college system."
Jesus Barrios, a Cal State San Bernardino student and part of the group Students for Equal Access to Education, said students want lower fees and more classes.
"We have a list of demands - an end to higher fees, and end to cutting classes," Barrios said. "Also, for California to get it together as far as where they're putting in money. We need to be putting money into effective programs, not corrupt police departments, corrupt corporations and corrupt prisons."

Anoshka reveals all important details about her new song
Egyptian actress Anoshka has announced that her new song is nearing completion, to the delight of her legion of fans.
The star said that she is hoping to release the record soon.
The single will mark the return to the entertainment industry of the actress who has dabbled in the film industry and was once a star on the Francophone music scene.
Anoshka's new song is for all the Romeo and Juliet's across the world, as she explained it is of a romantic nature.
The song, written by Khaled Munir and Ahman Al Naser, doesn't have a release date yet, leaving fans chomping at the bit for the single.
The Egyptian star was once rumored to be romantically involved with a former interior minister in her native homeland, but denied all the allegations and sued a newspaper over the accusations.

Eye Health Center
Retinal Imaging
How It Feels
The tests themselves don't cause pain or discomfort. For some tests, very bright light may shine in your eye.
If your eyes have been dilated, they will be very sensitive to light for several hours. Your vision may be a little blurry.
The dye used in an angiogram may cause a metallic taste in your mouth. You may also have mild nausea and a brief feeling of warmth. Your urine may be orange for a day or two.
In some people, the dilating eyedrops can cause an allergic reaction.
The dye used in an angiogram may upset your stomach. You may feel flushed. These symptoms pass quickly. If you're pregnant, talk to your doctor about possible risks to your baby.
Some people are allergic to the dye. Tell your doctor if you feel lightheaded, need to vomit, or feel itchy after the dye is injected. Very rarely, a person may have a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) and need emergency care.
The pictures from retinal imaging tests help your doctor look for problems and decide on treatment.
The retina looks healthy.
What Affects the Test
You may not be able to have the test, or the results may not be helpful, if:
- You have cataracts.
- The dilating drops don't widen your pupils enough.
- You aren't able to keep your eyes wide open and to stare straight ahead during the test.
- You aren't able to hold still during the test.
What To Think About
The dyes used in angiograms can be passed on through breast milk. This means that moms will need to stop breast-feeding for a day or two after the test. Use a breast pump to empty your breasts and get rid of the milk until it's safe to start breast-feeding again.

Durex is launching a social media campaign to promote its 'Ultra Thin Feel' condoms as part of the brand's 'Intensely close' campaign. The work includes two YouTube films and goes live on the brand's Facebook page today (Valentine's Day). It will also be supported by blogger outreach. The short films, created by TMW, aim to demonstrate the heightened pleasure of getting closer.
The first film, called Parking, features a young couple getting it on with the aid of a stick shift (would it work with automatic?) as they reverse their car into an incredibly tight parking space.
As they get closer and closer to the other parked cars, the young lady's pleasure increases, reaching a climax when the car is parked snugly in the space. The film ends with the strapline 'The closer we get, the more intense it feels'.
The second film, ECG (electrocardiogram), is an acrobatic animated spot that brings two hearts together. In it heart rate monitor morphs into the silhouette of a couple in varying sexual positions. The characters' heart rate increases as the passion intensifies. The film ends with the line 'The closer we get the more our hearts race.'

Such a short trip can take you so far
Cross the river and take a tour through the history of the real West.
Just above the site where thousands of wagon trains forded the Humboldt River on the long trek to California, sits the Humboldt Museum. The modern brick building mirrors its historic predecessor, a church turned museum. Together, the buildings house the story of the community.

Andrea Blum has spent much of her life following others. She once followed a cheesemaker back to his village in Italy to learn about where the milk came from. That's also how she ended up in a butcher shop in Switzerland watching the curing of meats, or in a basement in Austria sampling homemade schnapps.
"It's a passion of mine to go beyond what I'm eating and find the story behind it," Blum says.
That curiosity about the people behind our food led her to create My American Pantry (MAP), a start-up company that promotes regional food and drink producers across the country. Blum is laying the groundwork for an online marketplace with a series of aerial photos of food artisans with their goods.
"I think of it as a Kickstarter for food artisans, where people can launch their businesses but in a very curated, beautiful and artistic way with recipes, videos, multimedia," says Blum, who is a culinary artist in residence at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga.

RadioShack has filled two top positions with executives from Target and Wal-Mart
Fort Worth-based RadioShack Corp. hired two executive vice presidents from Wal-Mart and Target.
Troy Risch, a 19-year veteran of Target Corp., has been named executive vice president of operations and he will also be responsible for real estate. Risch's last job at Target was executive vice president of stores.
Huey Long has worked in retail for 22 years, most recently at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. where he was general merchandise manager at Sam's Club. He has been named RadioShack's executive vice president of strategy and consumer insights. He will also oversee marketing, business development and omnichannel efforts. Long's resume includes stints at Circuit City and Amazon.com.
Both will report to RadioShack interim CEO Dorvin Lively starting Jan. 2.
Here's what Lively said in a press release: "I'm excited to announce the addition of this best-in-class talent to the RadioShack team. Troy brings a depth of retail experience and success from the breadth of his previous operations roles, and Huey brings his vast expertise and knowledge in retail. These are two key roles that will influence the company's strategy, execution and future success. I look forward to working together to drive our business forward."

How to Set Up Your Kindle Fire
When you turn Kindle Fire on for the first time, you see a series of screens that help you set up and register the device. The first screen is titled Welcome to Kindle Fire. This is the point in the setup process at which you connect to a Wi-Fi network. You need this connection to register your device.
Follow these steps to register and set up your Kindle Fire:
In the Connect to a Network list, tap an available network.
Kindle Fire connects to the network (you may need to enter a password and then tap Connect to access an available network) and then displays the Time Zone screen.
Tap to select a time zone from the list provided and tap Continue.
For countries other than the United States, tap More and choose from the provided list. After you select from the list, tap the Back button in the bottom-left corner to return to the Time Zone screen.
On the Register Your Kindle screen that appears, enter your Amazon account information, e-mail address, and a password in the appropriate fields.
See the next step if you don't have an Amazon account.
You can choose to deselect the Show Password checkbox so that your password doesn't appear on your screen as you type it. This protects your password from prying eyes.
If you don't have an Amazon account, click the New to Amazon? Create an Account link.
This link takes you to the Create an Amazon Account screen, with fields for entering your name, e-mail address, and password (which you have to retype to confirm).
Enter this information, and then tap Continue.
Complete the registration.
If you want to read the terms of registration, tap the By Registering, You Agree to All of the Terms Found Here link. When you finish reading the terms, tap the Close button to return to the registration screen.
To complete the registration, tap the Register button.
A final screen appears saying Welcome to Kindle Fire: Hello <Your Name>. There's also a link labeled Not <Your Name>? If, for some reason, you aren't you (for example, you may have entered your account information incorrectly), tap the Not <Your Name> link to change your account information.
This is probably the point at which the Kindle Fire may download the latest Kindle software. If so, sit back, relax, and anticipate using your new toy. When the download finishes, tap the Get Started Now button, and you can view a series of quick tips to get you started with Kindle Fire.
(If you need more help at any time, you can refer to the User's Guide in the Kindle Fire Docs library.) Tap Next to move through this tour; on the last of the three screens, tap Close to get going with Kindle Fire.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. � Two cases of chikungunya virus infection have been confirmed in travelers who returned from the Dominican Republic on May 17 and May 29, the Rhode Island Department of Health announced Friday.
The patients came to local physicians with fever, muscle aches and pains and joint pain. The virus does not often cause death, but the symptoms can be severe, most commonly high fever and severe joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling or rash, the health department said.
Most patients feel better within a week, the health department said, but the joint pain can persist for months in some cases.
The virus, found in Caribbean countries, Africa, Asia, and islands in the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific, is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
The Centers for Disease Control has issued travel advisories for chikungunya virus to the Caribbean islands.
People who get sick after traveling from the Caribbean or being bitten by a mosquito are urged to see a physician and to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

Party Fail: When Your Favors Backfire
I just sent an embarrassing email to all the mothers of my daughter's classmates, letting them know that the electric toothbrush I gave out as a party favor at her birthday last fall is now the subject of a Food and Drug Administration safety alert.
As one of the party activities, we gave each six-year-old a Spinbrush, which comes with stickers for decorating. The girls sat on the floor in their party dresses and painstakingly applied tiny pink-and-purple girly-themed stickers. At the end of the party, the kids took their personalized toothbrushes home.
A vigilant friend whose daughter was at the party emailed me a link to the alert this morning. Apparently the FDA now is warning that the brush head can come off while in use, causing "serious injuries and potential hazards."
Although it's not my fault — I don't manufacture toothbrushes, and the warning came out some four months after the party — I still feel responsible for having put all these children at risk. My own kids have been using the toothbrushes as well. Luckily, we haven't had any problems, but they're headed for the trash just as soon as I get home. Back to old-fashioned, child-powered toothbrushes, for them.
This is the first time I've had to warn gift recipients to stop using something I've given them. Unsure of the etiquette, but worried about the children's safety, I went with an immediate email. Perhaps that's not Emily-Post-proper, but it was the best I could do.
Readers, have you ever unwittingly given someone an unsafe gift? What did you do about it? Do you agree with how I handled the situation?

Dell's Special Committee: 'Icahn's Concept Is Not…a Transaction'
Dell special committee responded this afternoon to Carl Icahn's call for Dell to launch a $14-a-share tender offer for 1.1 billion shares.
Here's the letter from Dell:
The Special Committee of the Board of Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) issued the following statement in response to a letter to shareholders released today by Carl Icahn:
"The Special Committee and its advisors are reviewing the latest concept put forth by Carl Icahn, which is that Dell pursue a self-tender for its shares of approximately $16 billion. This is a further deviation from Mr. Icahn's original proposal of a buyout at $15.00 per share and, assuming all shareholders other than Mr. Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management tender, appears to equate to a dividend of approximately $10.00 per share rather than the $12.00 per share promised by Mr. Icahn in his letter of May 9. Furthermore, as in the May 9 letter, Mr. Icahn's current concept would likely force shareholders to continue to own shares in the highly leveraged company that would result.
Mr. Icahn's concept is not, in its present state, a transaction that the Special Committee could endorse and execute – there is neither financing, nor any commitment from any party to participate, nor any remedy for the company and its shareholders if the transaction is not consummated. In addition, the concept does not adequately address the liquidity issues and other risks the Committee previously highlighted.
More than a month ago, the Committee requested financial and other information from Mr. Icahn and Southeastern in connection with their previous recapitalization idea. Those requests remain outstanding and are equally relevant to this latest concept. The Committee will consider any and all such information provided by Mr. Icahn. However, in the absence of an actionable proposal that would create more value for shareholders, the Special Committee continues to recommend the pending, fully financed $13.65 per share cash sale transaction."

I'm sure you've heard of the Raspberry Pi by now. If not, you're in for a treat. It's a tiny little computer that's dirt cheap and incredibly customisable. Here at MakeUseOf, along with most geeky places online, we've fallen in love with the Raspberry Pi. Many of us have one or more and have come up with some fantastic ways to use them for play or for work.
If you're thinking of getting a Raspberry Pi yourself, we're obviously going to help convince you to go ahead with it. Maybe there's a few things you didn't realize it could do – or maybe you don't yet realize how easy they are to work with. Either way, here's a list of reasons that should help you part with that minuscule sum of money and get one of the best gadgets developed in recent history.
1. It's Cheap!
Yes, I said it was a miniscule amount of money. You're looking at a maximum of US$35 (and postage/taxes) for what is essentially a tiny computer without a case. When it comes to bang-for-buck, you'd be hard pressed to do better. Model A has 256Mb RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet. Model B has 512Mb RAM, 2 USB ports and an Ethernet port. Check out the FAQ for more specs.
2. It's Tiny
The Raspberry Pi is just over credit card sized at 85.60mm x 56mm x 21mm, plus a little overhang for the SD card and connectors which stick out over the edge. It weighs only 45g.
3. The Pi Can Run A Variety Of Operating Systems
Seriously, you can install Linux on this little computer and use it for whatever you like. Android is now officially supported too, plus there are also rumours you can run Windows 8 on it, but apparently it's too slow to be worth trying.
4. The Raspberry Pi Is Really Versatile
The following items are two of the most popular uses for the Raspberry Pi: the media centre and a gaming machine. However, it was actually built with education in mind, to teach students how to program. Lots of people use Python to code for the Pi, but there are plenty more languages you can use.
For more uses still, this article shows how you can use a Raspberry Pi to be an arcade machine, a carputer, internet radio system, security system or a media centre:
5. Play Video And View Photos With The Pi
It can support 1080p video, which is pretty decent when you're watching mpg movie files or viewing photos. It's nearly as simple as plugging in a USB stick of your favourite media and watching. RaspBMC is the recommended software, which even supports Airplay. If you want more information on setting it up, check out these articles:
- How To Make Your Raspberry Pi Into a Home Theater System
- Entertainment On The Cheap: The Most Affordable Ways To Set Up A Home Theater
6. You Can Overclock It
It's really easy to overclock a Raspberry Pi, so check out the guide we've written and get started:
7. You Can Play Games
There's a growing community of gamers looking to play MAME and SCUMMVM games on the Raspberry Pi, but there are just as many using educational games for kids from software suites such as GCompris.
Get Your Raspberry Pi
Willing to break into the bank account now? Thought so. Go get your Raspberry Pi and peripherals at either of these stores:
Also, you might want to know how to get started, join the community and how to make yourself a cool case for your new Pi:

Hidden Valley was still looking for that first win of the season, trying to find it tonight in Henry County at Ed Bassett Stadium against Jay Gilbert and the Bassett Bengals.
These Bassett fans cheering on the team like it's 1973. Tonight they celebrated their 40th class reunion by coming back to Ed Bassett Stadium.
Hidden Valley was out to spoil the festivities. Quarterback Jake Smiley hands off to Walker Brand who runs straight ahead for 55 yards. The Bengals finally caught up and dragged him down at the five yard line. That was a big hustle play by the defense because the Titans didn't score.
Later in the first quarter, the Bengals driving near midfield when Devontae Jordan throws it up for Trevon Simon but it's intercepted by Hidden Valley's Billy Howe. And Howe is taking it the other way. It's gonna go for a 75 yard interception return. Hidden Valley was on the board thanks to the pick 6.
It was that kind of night for the Bengals offense. Jordan gets snowed under by the Titans pass rush, going down on the sack.
Smiley then hooked up with Andrew Farmer standing in the endzone.
It was 20-0 at the half. Hidden Valley cracked the win column with the 34 to 13 win.

At the administrative Board meeting on Wednesday, May 25, 2011, the Board of Education of Carroll County approved revisions to the 2011-2012 school calendar.

Tuesday, February 14, will be a regular school day.
The Spring Holiday will be adjusted to April 2-9, 2012.
