Longtime MAD editor Feldstein said that his writers were "all Jewish boys from urban centres" (Photo: AP)
Al Feldstein, who died on April 29, took over MAD Magazine and transformed it into the secular Talmud that many Jewish teens pored over while eating their cornflakes.
MAD first appeared in October 1952 under the editorial direction of Harvey Kurtzman, but it was really Feldstein, as Kurtzman's successor, who turned it into such a biting satirical force.
Feldstein, born in Brooklyn in 1925, lived through the Depression and witnessed his parents losing their home. His resulting social conscience was injected into MAD as he hired like-minded Jewish writers and artists. "My writers," Feldstein recalled, "were all Jewish boys from Jewish families in urban centres."
This "usual gang of idiots", as the magazine referred to them, included Mort Drucker, Al Jaffee, Will Elder, Dave Berg, Larry Siegel, Stan Hart, Arnie Kogen, Frank Jacobs, and Lou Silverstone. Added to this were such Jewish guest contributors as Sid Caesar, Danny Kaye, Paul Krassner, and Jules Feiffer. No one was safe from their satire. They parodied a predominantly Protestant culture from the perspective of the Jewish outsider while also poking fun at fellow Jews.

The Wakefield Women's Club was founded in 2001 as a social organization for women in Wakefield. Interest in our organization was high and eventually membership was opened to women in North Raleigh, Wake Forest, and surrounding areas. We meet every month, September through May, at TPC at Wakefield Plantation, for lunch with a program featuring local speakers on a variety of topics. Our members participate in a number of activities, special events, and groups. Some of our activities are Bunco, Bridge, Canasta, Hand & Foot, Couples dinner group, Sip and Share (a wine group) and Mah Jongg to name just a few. Please explore our current complete listing of activities under the Activities section. Highlights of the year also include a Fall Fashion Show, Holiday Gala, and Spring Fling.
While the WWC is not a service club, we have been pleased to support a number of community organizations such as Interact Women's Shelter of Raleigh. The shelter serves as a haven for women of domestic abuse. We also support the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry in Wake Forest and the Triangle affiliate of Dress for Success. The goal of Dress for Success is to promote economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire.
Please explore our website and feel free to call or email with questions. Make a reservation and join us at a luncheon. We would be delighted to meet you! Many friendships have been made through the Wakefield Women's Club. We are a diverse group with women of all ages and a wide variety of interests.

We had an amazing experience in Prague. Wonderful welcome with advices of what to visit in the city, the apartment is really like it appears on pictures, spacious, clean, with a perfect location just at 5min by foot from the famous place. We could recommend it to friends !
have not booked the apartment bekommen.wahr probably twice vergeben.hatten get a spare apartment to be repaired unfortunately etvrdgeschoss war.tv went dark and somehow nicht.sollte, but came niemand.sonst all was well.
haben nicht die gebuchte wohnung bekommen.wahr wohl doppelt vergeben.hatten eine ersatzwohnung bekommen,die leider im etvrdgeschoss und dunkel war.tv ging irgendwie nicht.sollte repariert werden,kam aber niemand.sonst war alles gut.
We would certainly have appreciated more if the apartment was better equipped, it lacked a lot of things, pans, dish towels, corkscrew and wine glasses and so on. In addition, the cleanliness was poor. We booked two other apartments of the same owner at the same time and they had to be canceled because he had not made his update on Windu, a small organization and improvement is needed!
Nous aurions certainement plus apprécié cet appartement s'il avait été mieux équipé, il y manquait énormément de choses, casseroles, linge à vaisselle, tire-bouchon et verres à vin et j'en passe. De plus, la propreté laissait à désirer. Nous avions réservé 2 autres appartements du meme propriétaire au meme moment et ils ont dû être annulés du fait qu'il n'avait pas fait sa mise à jour sur Windu, Une petite organisation et de l'amélioration s'imposent!
The apartment is brilliantly located in a very nice area to go out with very good facilities. With many green oases in the vicinity. Unfortunately, it was not very clean. (Dirty dishes and thick clouds of dust). But this set up quite nicely
Das Apartment ist super gelegen in einem sehr schönen Stadtteil mit sehr guten Gelegenheiten auszugehen. Mit vielen grünen Oasen in der Nähe.
Leider war es nicht gerade sehr sauber. (Geschirr schmutzig und dicke Staubwolken). Dafür aber recht hübsch eingerichtet
Very good location for sightseeing. Apartment. Too bad there is no coffee or tea, and other utensils for a rental basis. A small problem with the relationship with the agency. We chose the transfer proposed by the agency, the person was very late and the start we had to take a taxi because it did not come on time (not serious), especially that the agency had our mobile number because we had called 2 times. At the 3rd recovery agency was closed. If I'm booking again I would be more vigilant.
Très bon emplacement pour les visites. Bel appartement. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de cafetière, ni théière, et autres ustensiles de bases pour une location. Un petit bémol avec la relation avec l'agence. Nous avions choisi le transfert proposé par l'agence, la personne était très en retard et pour le départ nous avons été obligé de prendre un taxi car il n'est pas venu à l'heure dite (ce n'est pas sérieux) surtout que l'agence avait notre n° de portable car nous les avions appelé à 2 reprises. A la 3 ème reprise l'agence était fermée. Si je dois réserver à nouveau je serais plus vigilante.
Wonderful house, ten minutes walk from the city center by metro less than two minutes, excellent quiet for girls, I always recommend a taxi at night!! Thank you so much for everything!! Hi anna!!
Splendida casa, a dieci minuti dal centro a piedi con la metro nemmeno due minuti , ottima zona tranquilla per ragazze, consiglio sempre il taxi di notte!!!! Grazie mille per tutto !!!!! Hi anna!!!!!
Everything worked out well with organisation. Flat is located quite central in Zizkov (Supermarket is also next door) and you can even walk into the city center. Flat is nice and equipped with everything you need. The only drawback is the bed which is just not very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay in the house. It was definitely worth the price. It's a little far from the city, but the metro can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes, and it's about a 15-minute ride into the city.
What we were particularly happy about: The young man in the agency was very friendly and helpful and provided us with maps and all the information we needed; the beds are comfortable; one of the bedrooms has a large en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, there is another bathroom with a shower, and a toilet on the ground floor. The house was generally very clean, the rooms were sparsely furnished but pleasant, and the location was very nice and quiet. The free wi-fi worked without any problems and was a big plus, as was the separate garage.
There were a few things we weren't quite as satisfied with, though: There is no coffee maker, which a fully equipped vacation rental should definitely have, and no dishwasher (which is less of a necessity); there is no living room; we mostly hung out at the dining room table, but a living room with a sofa would have been nicer; it would also have been nice to have nightstands and lamps by the beds so you don't have to get up to turn off the light. The supermarket is near the metro, so also about a 15- to 20-minute walk from the house. We had a problem with the heating on the first day and no hot water on the third, but both of these issues were taken care of promptly once we reported them. Also, be sure to bring your own dish towels.
Overall, we were satisfied with the house and would consider staying there again if we should visit the city in the future.
Very nice hosts! Unproblematic keys, hosts were ready to answer all of our questions and give good insider tips. Most attractions are within walking distance from the apartment, and there are just outside the door tram stop. Have very much enjoyed our stay and will recommend the apartment to fall further!
Sehr nette Gastgeber! Unproblematisches Schlüsselübergabe, Gastgeber waren bereit auch alle unsere Fragen zu beantworten und gute InsiderTipps zu geben. Meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß von der Wohnung erreichbar, außerdem gibt es direkt vor der Tür Tramhaltestelle. Haben unseres Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden die Wohnung auf jeden fall weiter empfehlen!
Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Four instead of five stars because we did not get the booked apartment because according to statements of the Office of the boiler had been canceled at short notice. Alternative apartment was comparable. Office is to recommend! Thank you very much
Unkompliziert, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vier statt fünf Sterne, da wir nicht das gebuchte Apartement bekommen haben weil laut Aussage des Office der Boiler kurzfristig ausgefallen war. Ausweichapartement war vergleichbar. Office ist weiter zu empfehlen!!! Vielen Dank

Prof. Mary Fuller
Fall 2003
Sometime after 1492, the concept of the New World or America came into being, and this concept appeared differently - as an experience or an idea - for different people and in different places. This semester, we will read three groups of texts: first, participant accounts of contact between native Americans and French or English speaking Europeans, both in North America and in the Caribbean and Brazil; second, transformations of these documents into literary works by contemporaries; third, modern texts which take these earlier materials as a point of departure for rethinking the experience and aftermath of contact. The reading will allow us to compare perspectives across time and space, across the cultural geographies of religion, nation and ethnicity, and finally across a range of genres - reports, captivity narratives, essays, novels, poetry, drama, and film. Some of the earlier authors we will read are Michel Montaigne, William Shakespeare, Jean de Léry, Daniel Defoe and Mary Rowlandson; more recent authors include Derek Walcott, and J. M. Coetzee.

About the Book
"A must-read for anyone on their spiritual path."
—James Van Praagh, author of Talking to Heaven<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In Secrets of the Light, Dannion Brinkley, author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Saved by the Light, offers an accessible spiritual guide for empowering your life based on his own experiences in the afterlife. A survivor of three near-death experiences, Brinkley presents us with profound "Lessons from Heaven"—the Seven Truths revealed to him in the afterlife—to help readers find their personal paths to happiness, enlightenment, health, and prosperity. Secrets of the Light belongs in every personal library beside Betty J. Eadie's Embraced by the Light and Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven.
Sacred Lessons from Heaven to Help Us Fulfill Our True Purpose, from the Bestselling Author of Saved by the Light
In 1975, Dannion Brinkley was struck and killed by lightning. When he awoke in a morgue twenty-eight minutes later, everything was forever changed. Over the next twenty years, Brinkley had not one, but two more near-death experiences. Now, in Secrets from the Light, he shares the lessons he learned in the afterlife so we, too, can fulfill our true purpose in life. With wit, humor, and compassion, Brinkley shows that by living the way Heaven intends, you will find happiness in this life and beyond.

Pony uses age as the cut off, moving up in field size every 2 years. In the 15 years I've been involved in Pony Baseball never had a problem with kid size in the 12U Bronco division which uses 48-70.
It did bother me in LL when I saw total disregard for 7.13....Why bother with the rule if it's not enforced?
No teeth?
It can have devestating effects.
So basically "they" can post an opinion but I can't?
Michael S. Taylor
If you can't see (and enforce) 7.13 as is how will you see and enforce 7.13 if the penalty is changed to an out? What changes that magically suddenly lets the umpire see the violation?
Of course not!!! I would love to hear your thoughts, but I want others to have their shot, and not have their wishes knocked around.
You are free to ignore me at any time!!
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!
The umpire doesn't belong on the infield grass in LL 60'.
In 90' ball the umpire should only be inside if there's runners.
They hardly ever get hit anyhow.
I like the way Pony does the move every two years but have no problem with LL's 60ft closed bases. I don't carry a flag during LL games but I cetasinly enforce 7.13. Bad umpires are not just in LL. I got a call the other night from Pony and they totally smoked a situation. Does that mean I will never go there again, not likely.
Michael S. Taylor
The out is a more serious penalty...Think coaches are going to risk a lead off runner out vs a don't do that or go back to the unoccupied base you came from?
An out is one penalty but taking runs off the board is worse if that's what happens. You have to remember that one runner affects all runners. Bases loaded, batter hits a double that he is trying to stretch to a triple and gets thrown out. If either of the three runners left early then all three go back. That is way worse than an out.
Michael S. Taylor
Really? Then why are there LL teams from Califonia, Montana, Mexico and Japan in Williamsport?
Both Mexico and Japan have their own births into Williamsport, so they will have teams every year
Montana's first year to ever have a team at Williamsport
California (which is 2 of the 6 states in the West Region) has more Little League being played than nearly anywhere else and just the math dictates they will have a team on a regular basis. With that said, Hawaii has been a couple of times recently from the West.
Rule 3.03, # 5---regular seaon play.
Change the requirement for a starter to re-enter the game for another starter---viz: currently, starter re-entering must play 6 & 1 before starter he replaced can re-enter. .
So often confused with Reg. IV(l)----6 & 1----mandatory play.
How many time have I heard..... "My starter re-entering has allready played his/her 6 &1."
I have encountered the best of local LL minds, umpires, coaches, officials.....not "getting" the difference between the two right!
Any change would suffice. Ex: delete the at-bat; add an at-bat; change the 6 & 1 to 3 &1---whatever!
[Any change at all that would end the "confusion" between the two requirements---currently, co-incidental!]
BearBlue and My 2:
I think the rulebook states that a team that deliberately violates 7.13 with the expressed intent to prevent a double play can be sanctioned pretty badly. A team that uses this as a strategy will be going beak to beak with me in a hurry.
Even if I am doing the game by myself, pretty egregious violations of 7.13 are easily seen. And I do enforce them.
Starts with training: They myth is that "the ball crosses the plate" where it's really "reaches the batter". Might be the same in some cases. But the coaches need a clue.
Mike CVUA
I think the rulebook states that a team that deliberately violates 7.13 with the expressed intent to prevent a double play can be sanctioned pretty badly.
Sort of.
You can eject the player and/or coach for UC for deliberately breaking a rule but you'd better be really really really sure it was deliberate.
If you're really really really sure it was deliberate then, after a warning, they do it again you can forfeit for deliberate breaking of a rule.
But you cannot award a DP.
Did I mention that you'd better be really really really sure it was deliberate?
"If umpire is struck by a batted ball while on the infield grass...He is part of the field and ball is live unless the ball gets stuck in his uniform."
That's the way the rule is now, sort of.
DO NOT mess with 7.13. It is, by far, the most fun rule to enforce. I've hade two poof plays, but the bases loaded triple, where the BR gets thrown out at the plate is the best. Don't take the possibility of calling that again away from me. Just calling an out is boring. Pulling runners out of the dugout, putting them back on the bases, and having the parents go "what, what, WHAT!?" is awsome.
Yeah, the AR is needed. Tossing kids for silly stuff, like accidental bat tossing, is stupid. There are a lot of instances where banning a kid from the next played game is too harsh. Ditto on the MC rule. We need an out here. Steamrolling a catcher needs to have a BIG penalty

During the aftermath of the financial crisis, certain paradoxical trends have emerged in Europe. Firstly, despite the context of economic adjustment and restructuring, the employment rate of older workers has increased in most countries, and secondly, saving rates have remained remarkably resilient to the interest rate squeeze pursued by central banks as an economic stimulus. The question arises, whether lower interest rates effectively discourage or rather encourage saving among older workers, or even constitute an incentive to work longer, in case their saving strategy aims at maintaining a standard of living after retirement. The working paper adresses this issue through a model based approach.

The paper provides a comparative analysis on human resources trends and their implications for employment and economic growth at global scale. Taking stock of specific population characteristics, it focuses on the inescapable challenge of workforce shrinking and its policy implications. The analysis concludes that productivity growth will progressively become the only way to sustain economic growth not only in the EU and several other industrialised regions but also in some of the emerging economies. It also reveals a growing north-south imbalance in terms of labour reserves. While the 2013 publication looked at human resources constrains within the EU, this paper extends to the global context, comparing the EU to other global players.

This working paper analyses the impact of demographic ageing on future employment growth. The analysis shows that some of the economically strongest EU Member States will find themselves confronted with serious employment growth constraints due to labour supply bottlenecks already within the next 5 years, even under extremely optimistic activity assumptions.

This paper reviews the current problems in obtaining timely information on social developments within EU Member States, and reports on a stocktaking exercise of existing national approaches to providing timely social data, as well as the possibilities that are being explored within the framework of the European Statistical System (ESS) to improve the situation.

The first working paper in the 2013 series reviews social protection expenditure developments in the crisis, focusing on expenditure trends in volumes following the peak of the crisis (2009), on changes in the distribution of incomes and, notably, on the distributional impact of austerity packages. The topics discussed relate to the March 2013 edition of the EU Employment and Social Situation Quarterly Review. This Working paper is available in electronic format in English.

|Diffusion Barrier Cladding in Si/SiGe Resonant Interband Tunneling Diodes and Their Patterned Growth on PMOS Source/Drain Regions
|January 01, 2003
|Si/SiGe resonant interband tunnel diodes (RITD) employing delta-doping spikes that demonstrate negative differential resistance (NDR) at room temperature are presented. Efforts have focused on improving the tunnel diode peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) figure-of-merit, as well as address issues of manufacturability and CMOS integration. Thin SiGe layers sandwiching the B d-doping spike used to suppress B out-diffusion are discussed. A room temperature PVCR of 3.6 was measured with a peak current density of 0.3 kA/cm2. Results clearly show that, by introducing SiGe layers to clad the B delta-doping layer, the B diffusion is suppressed during the post-growth annealing, which raises the thermal budget. A higher RTA temperature appears to be more effective in eliminating defects and results in a lower valley current and higher PVCR. RITDs grown by selective area molecular beam epitaxy have been realized inside of low temperature oxide openings, with performance comparable to RITDs grown on bulk substrates.

Singapore Presses U.S. Family in Death Probe
SINGAPORE—Singapore police urged an American couple to cooperate with the investigation into the death of their son, but didn't accede to their request to put the probe under the oversight of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Police officials had asked the FBI to help review evidence held by the family of Shane Todd, a research engineer who worked at Singapore's state-run Institute of Microelectronics before he was found dead in June. The FBI agreed to help, but the Todd family has refused to cooperate unless the FBI gets oversight of the investigation. Police said in a statement Tuesday that they would "continue to work with the FBI to engage the Todd family."
Rick Todd, father of Shane, said Wednesday in a telephone interview that the family would take a "wait-and-see approach" to gauge whether the Singapore police would allow greater cooperation with the FBI. The family still wants to see the FBI given "full oversight" over the probe before providing any evidence, he said.

Dear Experts,
Business is using MD07 for collective Stock Requirment List
They will enter MRP controller and Plant then get into the final screen
Now they are getting the Materials related to MRP controller and Plant combination and its MRP elements
For example let us take one material "ROH1" this is procured from five vendors and this is having five purchase orders from five vendors
ROH1 - PO1 (vendor1)
- PO2 (vendor2)
- PO3 (vendor3)
-PO4 (vendor4)
- PO5(vendor5)
Now the Business requirement is :
They will not review Vendor 1, Vendor 2 most of the times
So the MRP controller want to exclude those PO1, PO2 from the stock requirement list and display only PO3,PO4 and PO5
Any solution is available
Kindly inform
Prabakaran K
If you want to exclude one specific PO from the stock requirements list you should create an implementation of BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA.
If you need a more flexible entry of parameters to call MD07, you can check report RMMD07NEW. This report can be used as a template for you to create your own screen to call MD07.
Hi Caetano,
Thanks for your solution . It is working and available in ECC6.0
I am facing two issues. Apart from that this is good solution.
1) If one material have single vendor the filtering is working fine.if one material having multiple vendor then in stock Requirment List I am getting both purchase requests even though I have filtered with one vendor. I already expected this.
Performace side it is taking some long time if we filter with Vendor
Is any transaction available for this Program . I couldnot find through whereused list .
Prabakaran K
You can remove a purchase order from the results using the already suggested BAdI MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA.
Please also take a look on the following comment from program RMMD07NEW source code:
* The report RMMD07NEW provides an EXAMPLE for a user-specific
* entrance to the collective display MD07/MS07 of stock requirements
* lists for one or more plants.
* The new report includes a new selection function module with
* ranges.
* REMARK: The ranges should be set in a suitable way to avoid
* performance problems because of a selection range, that
* is too large !!!
It means that the performance is a price to pay for a more flexible selection screen. Nevertheless, this program is only an example. You can copy it and optimize it for better performance. Since it is only an example, there is no transaction for the program, but you can create one at SE93.
check the filter options provided in MD04/MD07 and also you can define your filter in customizing.

Hi Anupam Sharm
Thanks for the solution
I can use this for different scenario

The gay marriage opponent seen in a viral video accidentally setting a fire outside the General Mills headquarters is a Minnesota real estate broker who has previously recorded a series of anti-gay YouTube clips.
In the above video, Michael Leisner, 65, can be seen outside the General Mills corporate campus in Golden Valley. He is carrying a box of "bust-A-Honey Nut Cheerios" in one hand and a blowtorch in the other.
Leisner announces that he is there to protest the company's advocacy of gay marriage, a reference to the food conglomerate's June announcement that it opposes a November ballot initiative banning such nuptials. "So we are going to torch some cereal," Leisner says, as cars can be heard zooming past on nearby Interstate 394.
[The location of Leisner's Cheerios protest can be seen in this Bing aerial photo, to which we've added a red arrow.]
But after Leisner torches the Cheerios box, he somehow allows flames to spread to the lawn in front of a giant General Mills sign. After trying--and failing--to stamp out the flames with his feet, Leisner tells two young companions, "Okay, get out of here guys."
Leisner's inability to extinguish the fire drew giggles from a girl off camera, who advised the male cameraman, "Keep it running, keep it running." As Leisner gathered up a wood stool and a cereal bowl, he said, "Quick get in the car." At that point, the trio apparently made their getaway in a silver coupe.
The video was posted yesterday to a YouTube account with the name "LeisnerProds." That page contains several videos of two brothers (both with the Leisner surname) boxing and wrestling. On Michael Leisner's YouTube page (Live4Chr1st)
he can be seen attacking Representative Barney Frank and Bill Maher, while noting that President Barack Obama has "bent forward to accommodate the sodomites of New York." He also makes reference to "gay perverts," "fierce faggots," and the "depraved, debasing debauchery of gay activists."
In an interview this afternoon, Leisner said that his son posted the video to YouTube and that he did not check to determine the legality of his blowtorch protest before arriving at General Mills a few days ago. He said that he believed the company's lawn was "saturated" and that there was little chance of the fire spreading.
Leisner told TSG that he has previously taught the Bible on radio shows and has done "campus preaching with some notorious right wing Holy Ghost preacher types." Asked if he thought law enforcement officials might want to speak with him about the General Mills protest, he replied, "I suppose it's possible."

For the past 32 years, Piedmont's parcel tax -- for essential city services such as police, fire, paramedics as well as for parks and maintenance -- has merited little controversy. Residents have routinely approved the parcel tax with more than the needed two-thirds majority when it would come up for renewal every four years.
How times have changed in these past four years. The economic downturn has taken its toll on the city's finances and led to shrinking revenues. Piedmont lacks a sizable commercial and industrial base and relies primarily on property-based taxes: real property taxes, property transfer taxes and the parcel tax. Because of the decline in the real estate market, property transfer tax revenue fell by 50 percent from fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2009.
Thrown into the Measure Y parcel tax controversy are the city's handling -- or mishandling -- of the Piedmont Hills undergrounding project two years ago, which led to a $2 million cost overrun that was paid from the city's reserve fund, and the Blair Park financial matters. Earlier this year, the city rescinded approval of the Blair Park project but still ended up spending a few hundred thousand dollars for EIR studies and fighting the lawsuit from Friends of Moraga Canyon.
The city's Municipal Tax Review Committee itself is a source of some local controversy. The opponents of the parcel tax, the "No on Measure Y" forces, have pointed out that the committee majority opposes the parcel tax. Opponents consider Measure Y a referendum on the City Council's fiscal policies and actions and recommends rejecting it to help spur further belt-tightening and an end to what they consider wasteful spending. But we think that rejecting the parcel tax would be a big mistake, and we're not confident it would send any message to the council -- other than what leads to a reduction in essential services.
Opponents contend the city has done little in the way of controlling spending. We disagree.
The City Council has agreed to establish a five-year fiscal plan to look at long-term trends and impacts. It has hammered out concessions from police and fire employees and nonpublic safety workers within the past three months including: freezing salaries for the fourth consecutive year; requiring city employees to pay pension cost increases into CalPERS; and beginning a two-tier pension system that applies lesser CalPERS pension options to new employees.
We find it difficult to see how denying $1.6 million -- the amount the parcel tax would raise -- would not be felt by residents in the form of essential services. And talk of reducing or eliminating the city's contract for library services with Oakland -- an estimated $350,000-a-year contract -- is foolish and unwise for a community that prides itself on education.
The parcel tax would cost about $400 a year per Piedmont household, a reasonable sum considering that the median Piedmont house averages far more than $1 million.
The city of Piedmont averages just about a fire per year. The overwhelming majority of calls to the fire department are 911 or medical emergencies calls -- just look at the weekly Piedmont police blotter -- and considering the city's sizable segment of seniors, this is hardly an area to cut, even temporarily.
So, while we agree with many of the parcel tax opponents' arguments about soaring employee benefits and the city's fiscal blunders with Blair Park and the Piedmont Hills undergrounding district, we do not consider a vote on Measure Y a referendum on the Piedmont City Council.
We urge a "yes" vote on Measure Y to continue the excellent level of city services that Piedmonters enjoy.

Paris Jackson Goes Goth!!!
Recently, Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson, cut her hair, dyed it black, and is more in to black clothing. What happened to the cute, pretty, Paris? This looks like a child who had been caged for years and is trying to get out there and find her true self. As a kid she never got a chance to be who she wanted to be. She did not get a chance to just go crazy as a child is supposed to. All she needs is a normal teenage life and experimenting with new things in life. I am not feeling this whole Goth look. I miss the old Paris.

The adorable folks over at Cricut had this brilliant idea to send bloggers a bunch of plain white t-shirts and some iron on materials, and basically said, "Make something awesome."
Um, yeah. I want in on that.
So I asked for ten t-shirts (the max I was allowed to use) without any idea of what I was going to make.
The shirts stared at me for three weeks until one day Lily asked me to make her a tepee and costume.
Now, I know how to turn on a sewing machine, but sewing clothing is waaay out of my league. So if you want to make this costume yourself, be excited becuase there is actually very little sewing. I will try my best below to show how I made it, and be sure to keep scrolling down to the bottom to see what I made with the other NINE t-shirts.
Lily is 4 1/2, and the t-shirt size is a mens medium.
First, I cut four inch tall strips at the bottom of the t-shirt. I cut a strip about every 1/3 inch.
After cutting the entire width of the shirt, I knotted each strip.
I did not measure precisely, and I was not concerned that the knots should all match up perfectly either. Remember, I had a four year old sitting by my side eagerly waiting for this to be made.
Next, I cut the sleeves at an angle so they would also have about four inches of length to them.
Then, I cut strips and knotted them just like the bottom of the shirt.
Next, I cut both rectangles and triangles out with my Cricut and their new iron-on material. With the rectangles I created a chevron pattern at the bottom of the shirt.
With the triangles I created a pattern at the top. (The material is really easy to iron-on. I have washed this several times since making it, and it stays beautiful.)
The only actual sewing I did was adding two strips of fabric to the sides so that the shirt could be tied in the back. A mens t-shirt is very wide, so this allowed for the dress to have a more fitted look.
When I was done making the dress, Lily and I went hunting at a local park for lots of stick to make a bow and several arrows.
I know, I am seriously going for mother of the year with this one.
With the remaining nine shirts, I cut them all up and made a matching tepee. Yes, I made a t-shirt tepee.
I am not including instructions for the tepee, because chances are you are not going to make a tepee out of t-shirts, but I will post a few of the steps tomorrow along with some extra photos that are freaking adorable.
And here is miss Lily trying it out:
As for being a cool mom, I am pretty sure I will never top this.
(See PART 2 with more photos HERE.)
Thanks Cricut for allowing me to participate and sending me the materials to make this project! If you want to learn more about Cricut's new iron-on vinyl you can view the vinyl HERE, or purchase it in a Cricut machine and toolkit bundle HERE.
Wow! This is so creative and perfect! I'm in love with your style!!!!!
Wow, that was amazing! I think you are the mom of the year. Your creativity kills me…
I want to be loved forever…therefore I will pin. P.S. It's also quite worth pinning.
This is the best, and totally something I can do! I have to know how you made that teepee though! I am sharing on my FB!
[…] thank you for sharing and commenting on my t-shirt dress and tepee project from yesterday! It means the world to me that you liked […]
Seriously amazing and adorable! Good job!
This DIY post is extremely offensive to me. I am Native American and I am a real human being not some costume. We are all people and you making these things for your child and teaching her that we are savages that never leave our tipi without our bow and arrow is wrong. Instead learn about how now terrible conditions are on our reservations, how little food our children have, how we have poor health and substance abuse, violence, and poverty issues. How most of us live in third world conditions with no hope. Showing this stereotypical racist image of us that was never true in the first place is offensive to us and is setting your child up to continue on this racist path.
Check out http://mycultureisnotatrend.tumblr.com/ for more information about cultural appropriation.
Hi Chloe,
Thank you so much for your comment. I actually really appreciate you bringing up this issue, and want to reassure you that in our home we do not view Native Americans in that sense. I do not teach my daughter that Native Americans are savages and I've never thought of a bow and arrow as an icon of evil, but instead have always thought of how it was used as a tool for hunting and feeding a family.
My youngest daughter (pictured above) has an increased fascination with Native Americans, hence the reason I made her the outfit above. The reason for this fascination is due to the fact that we are heavily associated with the Circle of Love foundation based out of Utah. Every year the organization travels to the Havasupai tribe in Arizona in November to bring the children living in school dorms Christmas much needed blankets and hygiene necessities. Our involvement means that we very often talk with our kids about the Native American culture, and how we can strive for equality among all people and races. By making this outfit I felt I was encouraging her awareness and curiosity to learn about others.
According to this post on Wikipedia many would not consider the content of this post racist, while admittedly others would. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism. I tend to be on the side of thinking racism is an intent to discriminate against a group of people, of which it was never my intent. My project was created to make a little girl happy, not to teach her to feel ill toward the Native American culture.
We are a very liberal family, and I offer my sincerest apologies again if I have offended you. If you wan to learn more about the Circle of Love organization I would love to email you. Perhaps you could even offer advice to the founders, who are always looking for more ways to improve and serve! Thanks again for your comment Chloe, it is important to stand up for your heritage and beliefs and I admire your courage to do so.
I read your comment about the child's Indian COSTUME. I, too, have Indian blood in me. But I am Honored that a child loves my heritage and wants to be an Indian! Every race has poverty, drug and alcohol abuse and other problems in our society. It's when you blame others for your obstacles, that's the real issue. You have to be a Real Warrior and rise above your circumstances. When children pretend to be Drug dealers, Pimps, drug addicts, etc. when you Should be upset!!
Also racism isn't only discrimination.
Prejudice is an irrational feeling of dislike for a person or group of persons, usually based on stereotype. Virtually everyone feels some sort of prejudice, whether it's for an ethnic group, or for a religious group, or for a type of person like blondes or fat people or tall people. The important thing is they just don't like them — in short, prejudice is a feeling, a belief. You can be prejudiced, but still be a fair person if you're careful not to act on your irrational dislike.
Discrimination takes place the moment a person acts on prejudice. This describes those moments when one individual decides not to give another individual a job because of, say, their race or their religious orientation. Or even because of their looks (there's a lot of hiring discrimination against "unattractive" women, for example). You can discriminate, individually, against any person or group, if you're in a position of power over the person you want to discriminate against. White people can discriminate against black people, and black people can discriminate against white people if, for example, one is the interviewer and the other is the person being interviewed.
Racism, however, describes patterns of discrimination that are institutionalized as "normal" throughout an entire culture. It's based on an ideological belief that one "race" is somehow better than another "race". It's not one person discriminating at this point, but a whole population operating in a social structure that actually makes it difficult for a person not to discriminate.
um I think a Native American person does not need to look at Wikipedia to know what Racism means- they've been dealing with it all their lives. But if you're so intent on research, look up Cultural Appropriation. Look up cultural imperialism.
The thing is, you've taken some glitter and some fabric and have fashioned an imaginary idea of "Native American." None of it is real. The fact that you feel this culture is available for such corruption and projection is racist. It is no different from the "Aztec" and "Navajo" prints that have become so popular. May I remind you that the Navajo people have taken this issue to court because they didn't want their name on an object for white people to consume? Why do you think they would do that? Because it is wrong.
Being a liberal does not exempt you from racism. If you were truly respectful, and truly appreciative, teach your children about what really happens. How and why dreamcatchers and "teepees" have turned into cultural knickknacks for white people like you to consume and parade around as if you're so enlightened. Teach your children about real Native people, who still exist. Teach them that Pocahontas was 9 years old, and that John Smith made up everything. Teach them the truth. Teach them to respect voice of Native people. Because if you do ignore them, quote limited dictionary definitions of racism at them, parade them around in bastardized, fictional representations of Native culture, than congratulations. You've made racist children.
If a child playing with a teepee is considered racist, what else is racist and needs to be removed from children's playrooms? Mario bros games? They could be seen as an Italian stereotype. Sumo wrestling dolls? Could be a Japanese stereotype. China dolls? Not all Chinese women are beautiful and wear traditional clothing. Stereotype.
Why stop there. Maybe a ban needs to be enforced on anyone wanting to build a rammed earth adobe on their property. That could be seen as a nasty stereotype of the people indigenous to Spain, Africa, central south and North America.
The wearing of flip flops will also have to be banned as not all descendants of ancient Egyptians wear them or Japanese so that's a stereotype we don't want to enforce.
Kimonos worn as dressing gowns? Forget it!
You want to eat a pretzel and a bagel. What are you saying? That Jews only eat traditional baked goods.
You want to throw a boomerang at a park? No way! You know that Australian Aboriginals don't just throw boomerangs for hunting, right? They have jobs and but food at a supermarket too.
You want to get a tattoo? Well I'm sorry but that is highly offensive to the people of Polynesia whose descendants invented tattooing, so back off.
Anne: you went off on a rant because someone told you something someone (maybe you, at some point) is doing is offensive and hurtful and ran with it to the classic internet argument of, "BUT WHERE DOES IT END?!!1″ as though that is a somehow valid fear to possess. To clarify the situation for you, the point here is that a group of marginalized people have specifically requested that false and hurtful images of their race stop being used as playthings and imaginary games because it damages the real-life lives they lead. This kind of costume is something called redface – you can read about it here http://this-is-not-native.tumblr.com/resources // It's a great page with lots of links as to how and why this kind of "play" is hurtful and harmful.
Hope it helps you to understand.
Jessica: I think you mistook my reply as sarcasm when in fact I am 100% converted to the cause.
I've started identifying potentially racist material with random searches for words like teepee and moccasin and then just started trolling them! Who knew a witch hunt could be so much fun! Unfortunately we aren't armed with actual weapons, just our smug intellectual superiority. But hopefully once we've pointed out enough unintended racism like 4 year olds playing in teepees we can really take on the world. I'm thinking a Find Kony style campaign to bring down tattoo parlours for being racist against the Polynesians (who invented tattoos). I've started by spray painting the words racist across the front of two local shop windows. Next up is my local karaoke bar. Those racist pigs!

Why not create your own website and learn how to market it successfully on-line, instead of posting a couple of
adverts to Craigslist. The market giants can afford to mass market their messages,
while new methods of providing the audience participates ads for jobs, along with ads for Lebanon Real Estates.
If you do end up meeting with a potential buyer or speak to
them on the phone it is important to be extremely
friendly and cordial, but at the same time decide ahead of time on a set price for your item and refuse to go below it.
If the little girl wants to be a native American . Then praise God.she obviously thinks highly of them.

REGION: Riverside soldier killed in Afghanistan
An Army Special Forces soldier from Riverside has been killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, the Defense Department announced Wednesday.
Sgt. Aaron J. Blasjo, 25, died along with two other troops when the vehicle they were in was torn apart by a roadside bomb in the Wardak province.
Also killed Capt. Joseph W. Schultz, 36, of Port Angeles, Wash., and Staff Sgt. Martin R. Apolinar, 28, of Glendale, Ariz.
Blasjo was born March 19, 1986, in Riverside. He volunteered for the Army in July 2004.
After completing basic training and Airborne School at Fort Benning, Ga., he was assigned to 1st Special Warfare Training Group where he completed the Special Forces course in December 2006.

Do you like your kids' friends?
The other night Mason and I saw The Kids are All Right, a really wonderful movie about families, and one of the many observations made was that sometimes really good kids pick really bad friends.
That "bad" category includes kids who are more annoying and thoughtless than bad, bad — and those who are actually sadistic and mean.
Have you ever had to talk to your kids about "friends" like that? And how did you, or your kids, rather, get rid of them?
Once my dad gave me some simple advice that fits the bad friend situation:
"The little girl (or boy) who can't say no gets in trouble…"
Anyhoo, anything you'd like to say about good friends, bad friends or the movie, I'd love to hear.

Definition of antecedent in English:
- It traces the historical antecedents to freed people's intense desire to become literate and demonstrates how the visions of enslaved African Americans emerged into plans and action once slavery ended.
- There are literary and historical antecedents to this book, too.
- Pundits have searched for literary antecedents to this creature.
- The powerful Colonna family, whose antecedents included Pope Martin V, had become titular rulers of Caravaggio's native Duchy of Milan, and showed a solicitous concern for his welfare on several occasions.
- Way back when old India included Pakistan there was a family called Ramsinghani with antecedents in Lahore and Karachi and since the British could not pronounce their name properly the alternative Ramsay was adopted.
- And there are several new independents whose backgrounds and antecedents will surely make them amenable to a little persuasion.
- Plural pronouns with nominally singular antecedents like 'everyone' have been a major battlefield in the grammar wars.
- Because they are free of antecedents, such clauses are sometimes called independent or free relative clauses.
- He thinks the word 'everyone' is singular, so it can't be the antecedent of a third person plural pronoun like 'they' or 'their'.
- Obedience to a hypothetical imperative is always obedience to the condition expressed in its antecedent.
- If the antecedent of a conditional is false, the statement is always true!
- 'If lying is wrong, then he will lie,' has an antecedent whose embedded content is the same as a statement predicating the property on which the speakers moral disapproval supervenes.
- Hawthorne's text is studiously inscrutable about events antecedent to Hester's being branded adulteress.
- Behaviors are directed by the antecedent stimuli that preceded them and announce the availability of a positive or negative consequence.
- And much will depend, in this case, on all of the conditions antecedent to the initiation of combat.
- There seem to be two changes: a loosening of the link backward to an antecedent noun phrase, and a loosening of the link forward to a modified noun phrase.
- The phenomenon is particularly interesting because the conditions under which complement anaphora (as this case of anaphora is called) is acceptable depend on formal properties of the antecedent determiner.
- What I mean is that if we look at the antecedent clause of the conditional, then it is empty - there is nothing that it corresponds to!
- Example sentences
- Now Afro-Americans, frustrated in their search for antecedence in their African line, might turn to their Scottish roots.
- Unlike surrounding leaves, these pages - heavily edited, faded, some with frayed edges - were typed with a black ribbon, a telltale sign of antecedence.
- This has a long antecedence, and the book reviews some of the historical and theoretical literature on the nature of law, including some Marxist sources.
antecedently adverb
- Example sentences
- For present purposes, the most important point is that group polarization will significantly increase if people think of themselves, antecedently or otherwise, as part of a group having a shared identity and a degree of solidarity.
- It is easy to see how this might happen with discussion groups on the Internet, and indeed with individuals not engaged in discussion but consulting only ideas to which they are antecedently inclined.
- However, the pattern he observed was 'detachable' as it matched an image he had, antecedently and independently from this particular heap of stones, stored in his mind.
Late Middle English: from Old French or from Latin antecedent- 'going before', from antecedere, from ante 'before' + cedere 'go'.
cede from early 16th century:
Cede is from French céder or Latin cedere 'to yield, give way, go'. Cedere is a rich source of English words including abscess (mid 16th century) 'going away' (of the infection when it bursts); access [Middle English] 'go to'; ancestor (Middle English) someone who went ante 'before'; antecedent (Late Middle English) from the same base as ancestor; cease (Middle English); concede (Late Middle English) to give way completely; decease (Middle English) 'go away'; exceed (Late Middle English) to go beyond a boundary; intercede (late 16th century) go between; predecessor (Late Middle English) one who went away before; proceed (Late Middle English) to go forward; recede (Late Middle English) 'go back'; and succeed (Late Middle English) 'come close after'.

Try "set flow none" or "set flow xon/xoff". And since there is no Carrier

But maybe the real problem is that you need to use the TAPI device instead
of the "DOS" device. See the Kermit 95 FAQ:

Never miss another 'Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan' show
Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Having sold out Manchester and Wembley Arenas in April by collectively showcasing to just over 20,000 people, Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, nephew to the late and great Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, returns to the UK aiming to recreate the energy he and his Qawwali band generate within our shores in Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena Sunday, 4th November 2012.
To cater for his legion of fans across Wales, Rahat has devised a novel show for Cardiff. His aim is twofold. To create beautiful music and also give every spectator a spiritual experience which can only be described as one which will leave every spectator revitalized in their heart and mind.
Rahat will be performing all of his famous Qawwali hits including those so entrenched in Qawwali history by his late Uncle and of course his award winning Bollywood tracks Tere Mast Mast Do Nain and Teri Meri and recent hits.

Michael S. Seabolt of the Marietta post of the Ohio Highway Patrol was recently promoted to the rank of sergeant after spending 13 years of his life devoted to the patrol.
Seabolt's duties still include that of a normal trooper, on top of having all of the administrative responsibilities of being the assistant post commander at the Marietta post off Ohio 7.
"I've been doing the job of a trooper for 13 years and I was just ready to try to make a bigger impact on the Highway Patrol and take on some new challenges," said Seabolt, 36.
Article Photos
The recently-christened sergeant is no stranger to hard work. He's been working since he was 13 in his hometown of Fenwick, W.Va., at a wide variety of jobs. When he graduated from high school, however, he already knew he wanted to be a state trooper.
"It was the one of the only things, coming out of high school, that really interested me," he said.
Between then and now, Seabolt hasn't slowed down. He got married, had four children, graduated from the Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy, joined the Marietta post of the Highway Patrol and attained the aforementioned rank of sergeant.
Fact Box
Sgt. Michael S. Seabolt
Occupation: Sergeant with the Marietta post of the Ohio Highway Patrol.
Age: 36.
Residence: Whipple.
Birthplace: Fenwick, W.Va.
Family: Wife, four children.
Through it all, Seabolt's family has been one of the most important things to him, he said.
"Can you say that I, personally, have a personal, vested interest in my job? Absolutely. Every law officer does," he said. "Our families use the same roads, live in the same community and walk the same streets. Our families do the exact same things at the exact same places. Our job not only affects your family, it affects our family."
Commander of the Marietta Highway Patrol post Lieutenant Mary Pfeifer has known Seabolt for around 15 years. In all of the time she's known him, she said she's seen him fully and personally investing himself in his job, plus dedicating himself to taking on more responsibility-including teaching other, less-experienced troopers.
"Mike is very professional. He genuinely and truly wants to provide a service to the community, and he takes ownership in his community. His family lives here, after all..." Lieutenant Pfeifer said. "This is our home too, you know."
As such, Seabolt and the rest of the troopers at the Marietta post are heavily involved in the community through myriad programs-including Safety Town, Car Teens and OVI interventions-designed to instill a safer environment for drivers and non-drivers alike.
"It's very high on our priorities," he said. "The more that we can educate people and the more opportunities we get...that obviously helps us in our job."
Seabolt said his work within the OVI intervention programs that the Highway Patrol offers is some of the most important work he does.
"The OVI intervention is a special interest of mine... just because I've seen so many families' lives affected by that," he said.
The inherent danger of his job is sometimes a concern, Seabolt said, as he suspects it is for most law enforcement officers.
"We do our best... to ensure we go home at the end of the day, but it's a reality and a possibility that I won't," he said. "I have a very understanding and supporting family and they really appreciate the sacrifices and responsibilities that come with this job."
With the storm and subsequent power outages last month, Seabolt said that his job, which included clearing state routes blocked by downed trees and aiding traffic problems,was taxing, especially when his family's own home was without power for seven days.
"We're affected by these kinds of things just as any other family is. However, since we're one of the first lines of response in that situation, we've got to stay out there. We don't have the ability to go home to our families," he said.
Seabolt said the storm was one of the worst natural disasters he had seen in his 13 years of work as a member of the Highway Patrol.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods are commonly used for the analysis of caffeine in beverages (1–3). Many popular soft drinks have a high percentage of caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) as an additive, an alkaloid that occurs naturally in the leaves, seeds, and fruit of tea, coffee, cacao, kola tree, and more than 60 other plants. Because caffeine is a CNS stimulant and can pose health risks for people with certain medical conditions, beverages containing the additive should clearly list the amount they contain.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends a maximum caffeine concentration of 65 milligrams per 12-ounce serving of cola beverages, although it does not regulate the caffeine content of these drinks. In 2004, all 25 countries in the European Union (EU) began requiring that packaged drinks with more than 150 mg/L of caffeine be labeled "high caffeine content," followed by the caffeine content expressed in mg/100mL (4). Considering the popularity of soft drinks and the recommendation from the FDA and EU regulatory agencies, an easy and rapid method for the quality control analysis of caffeine in beverages is important.
It is clearly demonstrated that a TSKgel ODS-140HTP reversed phase column can successfully be used with a conventional HPLC system to analyze caffeine with shorter run times and high efficiency. The long-term stability of this column is evident from this study.
A TSKgel ODS-100V column can also be used for the separation of caffeine, offering sharp peaks and high resolution.
