Rodgers is useless isn't he?
1) will he get credit for today's team selection and tactics?
2) Will you give him credit for bringing in Sturridge and linking him with Luis?
3) Will you acknowledge that overall, we are doing well?

Colin, seriously I don't know whether to shout at you or give up with you. It's how quite a few people have felt about Armchair at times.
Let me try shouting a bit: YOU'RE NOT FUCKING LISTENING!
I've told you several times that if you read the report you would discover that the case does not depend on the meaning of the word "Negrito". It could mean "cocoa cola" or "tampon" or "space alien" and it would make fuck all difference to whether Suarez was guilty or innocent. Nobody is arguing with you about what you claim "Negrito" means, so keeping trotting that out makes no difference.
I'm not going to go on with this much more as it *is* a waste of my time and energy to keep banging my head against your brick wall. But I have two questions for you:
1. If a black person asked John Terry why he kicked them and JT replied "because you are black?" would you say that John Terry had racially abused the other person?
2. You tell me you have an English degree. When you sat your exams, had you read any of the books or did you just turn up and expect to bluff your way through?
robert m...ok here we go...in a number of Latin American countries I have travelled and lived in "Negrito" as a form of greeting or used ina lighthearted way in banter type conversation is not considered "abusive"..so...the term in question was ?...NEGRITO...right ? The charge brought against Louis Suarez was " racial-abuse" issued multiple times v UniTURD..right ? IF Negrito isnt commonly used here ..I never heard the term used in UK before...then it is solely the members of the FA BOARD who decided that inthe context it was issued it constituted "racial-abuse"...also I ask u is Louis Suarez "white" or Caucasian whichever u prefer ?....ok John Terry directed the comment ..."You f****** Black C*** !" at Anton Ferdinand ...I dont think we can nit pick about this being by anyones standards inUK a "racist comment ? Therefore if it is agreed by the vast majority of people in this country that this statement by JT was racist then he "racially abused" Anton Ferdinand...right ?
The point Im making about the language used by Louis Suarez is that it wasnt by anyones standards in this country "racist" other than the FA BOARD members...therefore where most neutrals or lets say non football fans are concerned he couldnt have "racially" abused Evra ...right ? If all u want me to do s admit the members of the FA BOARD are entirely correct in their assumptions of the meaning and cultural context that this word Negrito was used in then sorry but Im unable to dothat.Reading the report made out by these people isnt going to enable me to either. I will always maintain that Louis Suarez was and is innocent of that which The FA charged him with.
What does 100% racist mean?
Your argument appears to be that because you heard Suarez say some stuff that wasn't racist, that means to you he isn't a racist and therefore he must be innocent in the Evra case.
It's not the strongest argument I've ever heard.
robert m..btw people who "racially abuse" others tend usually to be 100% racist..or isnt that the case where u come from? What does JT say " Some of my best friends are "coloured"." ?
robert m...I dont know why u bother either...couldit be because so many on the Chelski board have become so bored with u nagging them they have all pressed the "ignore" button on you so in turn u come and bore the the livin shyte out of us on our board ?
You don't even know what the question was! The question wasn't whether he is a racist. The question is whether he racially abused Evra. The report has a great deal of evidence that he did. Evidence you are unaware of and refuse to read so you continue with your straw man arguments. He wasn't convicted on the precise meaning of one word as you continue to claim, he was convicted on a bunch of other stuff.
And you plainly do have time to read it because you have spent a great deal more time than it would take to read arguing about it and getting it wrong. You just choose not to read it and prefer to argue from a position of ignorance and prejudice.
I've said this to you so many times. I don't know why I bother.
robert m..."education" in many countries in the world isnt simply denominated in academic laurels. Where I live everyone considers that instruction u get from a young age in the home from family equally if not more important to that which one receives in school.
I should defer to u because u read the FA Suarez report and I didnt ? What I KNOW is that those gents on the FA Board who conducted the investigation of the Suarez Incident havent travelled as extensively as I have in Latin America or worked with people in such countries . Louis Suarez I KNEW was no racist simply from what he said in public which corresponded with what I knew first hand from my experience in Latin America. So why do I want to waste my time reading all the bumf from these wanna be beaurocrats ? I dont have anything better to do with my time ? The rules of the game are what they are and if they intheir "wisdom" at the FA came to the conclusion that Louise Suarez WAS A RACIST and therefore merited lengthy suspension ok .However I still say this man is not a racist and whether or not I read this report isnt going to change that FACT.
Bobby, don't worry, I got this ..

The Gaylord, Mich., DU committee hosted a Sportsman's Night Out (SNO) on Sept. 23 in the hopes of rebuilding a chapter that has lost most of its members in the past few years. Area Chairman Rick Nash and Co-chairman Scott Johnston took charge of this event during the early planning stages and recruited younger volunteers from the area to assist.
"We decided to go with a SNO format to create some interest and excitement of holding a different kind of event," said Nash.
That is exactly what a SNO party is intended to do. The idea of hosting a SNO-style party is to act as a recruitment event for start-up chapters, as well as chapters rebuilding from scratch.
Nash mentioned that it was easier to sell tickets and promote the event since it was not your average DU banquet. The SNO party is a non-banquet-style event intended for all outdoorsmen. An event of this caliber will have fishing packages, big-game accessories, duck-hunting gear and turkey-hunting gear.
"The event was a huge success," said Lloyd Wilson, regional director for Michigan. "They had around 90 attendees and several commented on the excitement and fun of the event, and that they would certainly be back next year."
The committee's intentions were to bring the old committee back with the new committee to rebuild the Gaylord group back to its days of strong events. Nash said the committee accomplished its goals and are anticipating next year's event.
"The committee worked very hard and was able to recruit five new volunteers to assist in the rebuilding," Wilson said. "I feel like the we have a great start and hope to grow from here."

First some questions:
What are you using to do the backups? A 3rd-party backup tool or
ufsdump or something else? I'm not sure that ufsdump can do
multi-volume backups from a crontab. You may have to run multi-volume
backups manually or use a 3rd-party tool that can do this.
When are the backups performed and by whom? Unless you buy some sort of
tape library, you'll have to use someone to change tapes, regardless of
the software you use. It's your call on if it's cost effective to buy a
tape library or hire a college student weekends or have you come in on
weekends to change tapes (lucky you).
How many tapes does a full backup use? How long does it take to do a
full backup? Assume all data is going on tape in non-compressed format
as a worst-case senario.
Does anything need to be shutdown prior to running backups, e.g. a DBMS?
This might affect the "backup window" around which backups need to get
How often is a full backup done? How long do you need to keep this
data? Suppose the accounting department needs data restored from last
month's files? last year's files? 3 years ago for an audit?
How much data changes between incremental backups?
What's the maximum exposure you're willing to take on lost data? 1 day?
1 week? Anything less than 1 day really needs something else to do the
backups, like a Network Appliances Filer that can take "snapshots" of
changed files periodically.
What happens if you need to restore a file from backups? How would you
do that? How about restoring the entire system? What would you need to
do that? This is the part that 3rd-party tools, which keep a catalog of
the files on each backup, can help a lot. But saving the index for each
backup takes up disk space. The longer you keep tapes, the more space
you'll need to store the index.
What happens if the tape drive breaks or eats a tape? Is it on service
contract or how would you fix it?
To come up with an effective backup scheme, you really need to know the
how much data you're backing up, how often, exposure, and with what.
You haven't even begun to answer those questions, so you get the default
That depends.

Re: Kiduology:Homosexuality is not a crime
August 7 2012 at 1:36 AM
Why Belden Namah has become focal point
Response to
Kiduology:Homosexuality is not a crime
I think the reason why so much controversy about Belden Namah's homosexuality is that:
1-He aggressively imposed his sexual desires and preference against a probable heterosexual male in the Star Casino (Sydney).
2-He tries to keep his homosexuality secret which goes totally against the so called openness he promotes in public.
however, as noted in another thread, there are other known homosexuals in parliament right now, and prominent past MPs have been homosexual. PNG has yet to face this reality and deal with it.

How Will Microsoft's Shake-Up Change Financial Reporting?
By Steven D. Jones
The reorganization at Microsoft will lead to changes in financial reporting, the company said Thursday, and the question for investors is whether it will make it easier or harder to understand performance.
The organizational changes announced by Chief Executive Steve Ballmer strip away a structure based around divisions overseeing particular products, such as Microsoft Windows, the Xbox videogame console or the Office bundle of workplace software. In its place, Microsoft is imposing a horizontal scheme with managers that oversee different kinds of functions–like engineering, marketing and finance–that would be applied to multiple product lines.
Accounting rules require companies to disclose revenue and earnings that illustrate how executives manage the business, said Amy Hood, chief financial officer. "As we go through this reorganization and realignment, we will investigate changes over time to reporting structures as well," she said.
The reorganization is guided by Mr. Ballmer's "One Microsoft" vision. Key businesses, including its Xbox gaming system and Office productivity software, will be combined into new engineering teams under the revamp announced Thursday. Huge revenue sources such as its Windows operating software will be managed alongside struggling initiatives, such as its Windows Phone software. Currently revenue for those efforts is reported in separate business divisions, and separate managers are accountable for profit and loss in those divisions.
"I wouldn't translate this reorganization to a reduction in accountability in any form," said Ms. Hood.
"The level of accountability we all feel rises as we all have to look at the integrated profitability of the company," Mr. Ballmer told analysts on a conference call. "Getting to a 'One Microsoft' strategy is very important, and we need to have strong financial accountability."
Many analysts expect Microsoft to disclose more financial details of the overhaul on its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call next week. The changes consolidate the company into product-focused units that may streamline profit and loss statements at the expense of details.
"Our base expectation is that the company simplifies its P&L and rolls revenue potentially into one or two line items, reducing transparency," Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow said in a note to clients.
Analyst Colin Gillis of BGC Financial expects the company to report revenue by engineering teams that may disguise performance of some businesses, such as its struggling Bing search engine. Bing has been reported as part of the online services division but will now be part of its operating systems group.
"When the money-losing Bing is blended into the same unit as Office, we'll never know how much Bing is losing again," Mr. Gillis said.
The online services division anchored by the Bing search engine saw losses narrow to $262 million in the company's third fiscal quarter on revenue that grew nearly 18% to $851 million, according to its quarterly securities filing. In comparison, the business division that houses Office was Microsoft's most profitable, with $3.9 billion in operating earnings on $6.1 billion in revenue.
Analyst Rick Sherlund of Nomura Securities said he expects the company to begin reporting performance under broad devices and services categories "and not the granularity we get today."
For investors betting that Microsoft would streamline by selling off gaming and search businesses, "this reorganization makes it harder to accomplish that goal," Mr. Gillis said.
The reorganization will spilt engineering into groups, including one combining Windows for computers and smartphones, which had been in separate product divisions. A device group will consolidate engineering for hardware, computers and the Xbox. An applications and services group will combine engineering for Microsoft's back-end technologies for corporations and software developers. A cloud group will focus on datacenter and database technology and moving those tools online.
The cloud group will be very similar to the current server and tools division that generated $14.8 billion in revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. Gone however are the giant business division that generated $18.3 billion in revenue in the first nine months of the year and the Windows division that had $14.3 billion in sales.
Online services, meanwhile, took in $2.5 billion in revenue, and entertainment and devices–which includes Xbox–produced $8.2 billion.
Overall, the company received $57.9 billion in revenue through three quarters. It will report its fourth quarter and total fiscal 2013 performance on July 18.

DCCC Head Urges Superdelegates to Decide by July 1
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.
The head of House Democrats' campaign operation told reporters Monday that he wants undecided superdelegates to get off the fence by July 1 to decide the party's nominee.
"I do support [Democratic National Committee Chairman] Howard Dean's position to make a decision no later than July 1," Rep. Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
Van Hollen said he feels particularly bullish about Democrats' chances of bucking historical trends and gaining seats this November, but acknowledged that the presidential race is "the biggest variable" in their ability to achieve that goal. He repeatedly expressed concerns about the increasingly negative tone of the nomination fight between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
"To the extent it continues to take on a negative tone" it will make it more difficult for Democrats to translate the enthusiasm of the primary into the general election against Sen. John McCain, Van Hollen said. "In my view, it's the tone, not the time that's important here," he said, "I do think the earlier it's resolved the better off we'll be."
The Maryland lawmaker is not alone. As The Wall Street Journal reported this morning, a number of party leaders including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are maneuvering to ensure the nomination is decided shortly after the primary season ends in early June.
Van Hollen was more cautious than many of his party colleagues about the national political scene, where many Democrats believe the record-breaking voter turnout and money advantages—among other reasons—give Democrats the odds-on favorite heading in to November. Van Hollen said he expected a "very tight" presidential race. "There is some irrational exhuberance on the Democratic side," he cautioned. Van Hollen said a key factor for Democrats is whether the loser in the Democratic presidential fight will "put their troops" behind the winner to "heal the wounds" of the primary fight.
He also said he did not believe that either Clinton or Obama would take the other as a running mate. "Number One, I don't think that's going to occur," he said. "I don't think that's going to be necessary to bring the party together."
For his part, Van Hollen has stayed neutral in the race although his counterpart at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Sen. Chuck Schumer, is backing fellow New Yorker Clinton.
He acknowledged that many of the House's most vulnerable Democrats have shied away from endorsing. "We haven't been pressing them to endorse unless we think it's clearly to their advantage," he said, adding: "We haven't been holding them back either." Van Hollen cited Pennsylvania as a good example of the diversity among Democrats where Rep. Joe Sestak has endorsed Clinton, Rep. Patrick Murphy endorsed Obama, and Rep. Jason Altmire announced he is going to stay neutral. The Pennsylvania primary is Tuesday.
While Van Hollen acknowledged that the eventual nominee will have an effect on the House Democrats' campaign strategy, he was optimistic that with either candidate House Democrats could buck historical trends that indicate that after a "wave" election year like 2006 the following election year usually results in a loss of seats for the majority party.
Democrats are hoping to put as many as 70-75 seats in play—an ambitious goal by any measure—but Van Hollen said Democrats have had recruiting successes in 40-50 districts so far and that Democrats have a 7-1 cash advantage over Republicans. "I think we are poised to beat history," he said.

Dec. 5— To the Editor:
This week, Jeff Keefe, volunteer chairman of the Puddle Dock Pond Planning Committee, and I hosted a meeting with the neighbors who have filed suit objecting to the Board of Adjustment decision that allowed the Puddle Dock Pond ice rink project to proceed. The purpose of the meeting was to preview the specific details that will be presented to the city's Technical Advisory Committee and the Planning Board during the city's site review process. These details include parking, lighting and sound that will be employed during the three months of ice rink operation.
I want to publicly thank those who attended this informational session. They asked good questions and we tried to clarify any misconceptions about the project. This was the fourth discussion Strawbery Banke has participated in with this group. Strawbery Banke Museum remains committed to honoring our promise to keep the neighbors informed and to make this project work for the both the South End neighborhood and the greater community.
We look forward to sharing the finished plan with the community very soon.

NEW BEDFORD — A series of hearings will be held next week, including one in New Bedford, regarding proposals for the use of $8.2 million in fisheries disaster relief from the federal government, Gov. Deval Patrick announced Thursday.
The local hearing will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Waypoint Event Center at the Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites. The Department of Fish and Game's Division of Marine Fisheries is holding the hearings as part of the process of sending a proposal to NOAA fisheries.
Overall, Massachusetts is getting $14.5 million in disaster relief. About a third of that will go to permit holders hit hard by sharply reduced quotas, and another third will go toward a boat buyback program, the details of which are not complete.
That will leave $8.2 million in discretionary spending. Some of that money could go to crew members who will not benefit from the payments to permit holders.
Other hearings scheduled are scheduled in Gloucester, Plymouth and Chatham.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret
by Brian Selznick
The Invention of Hugo Cabret Part 1, Chapter 5 Summary
Hugo's Father
- Text
- This little piggy went to market. This little piggy went to town. And this little piggy (Hugo) runs all the way home back to his secret apartment in the train station.
- He goes to a secret hiding place in the wall and pulls something out. Guess what it is?
- Illustration
- Hugo's uncovering a little man sitting at a desk poised as though he's about to write something… wait, this looks a little familiar. Talk about déjà vu.
- In the next image, we get a close-up of the little man's face, which looks just like the drawings from Hugo's notebook—masklike.
- Text
- The little man, whatever he is, is made completely out of clockwork and other machinery.
- How did all this come about? Well, we're about to embark on a rather sad back-story.
- You see, Hugo's father used to own a clock shop and also took care of the train station clocks.
- One day, he came home with an automaton that he found in the attic at the museum where he worked.
- What is an automaton, you ask? Well it's a wind-up figure that does something when it's working—and this one writes. It was broken though, so Hugo wanted his father to fix it.
- Illustration
- We see Hugo's father sitting at his workshop, wearing glasses and poring over some sort of thingamabob. He was absolutely surrounded by all sorts of machinery and clocks—kind of like a crazy scientist.
- Text
- Hugo's father filled up notebooks with drawings of the automaton, as he opened and closed the automaton to look at all its parts.
- He tries to work on it and bring it back to life.
- But then one night, something very bad happened—the guard at the museum didn't realize that Hugo's father was working in the attic and he locked the door.
- Illustration
- Uh oh. Flames were coming from inside a cracked window.
- Text
- The next thing Hugo knew, his Uncle Claude arrived to tell him that there had been a fire at the museum and that Hugo's father was dead. Bring out the tissues.
- Hugo was obviously kind of shell-shocked at this news, but Uncle Claude, who smelled like alcohol, sure didn't sugarcoat things to make them any easier.
- He told Hugo that he was going to live with him at the station and be his apprentice. Hugo was not even going to go to school anymore.
- So Uncle Claude taught the kiddo all the tricks of the clock-tending trade. Oh, and because he was such an outstanding role model, he also taught Hugo to steal.
- As time passed, Uncle Claude started to disappear for hours at a time. And then one day he disappeared altogether.
- So what did Hugo do? He left the station to go for a walk. As he walked, he passed the ruins of the museum where his father died, and he saw something in the rubble.
- Illustration
- It was the automaton, lying on its back (and looking kind of torn up, naturally) in a pile of junk.
- Text
- Hugo sat down and took a gander at the little thing. Eventually, he picked it up and brought it back to the train station, where it now resides.
- The automaton seemed to want him to fix it (creepy or hallucinatory?), and Hugo decided to try.
- He stayed at the train station, keeping the clocks running and hiding from the Station Inspector because if he knew Hugo was there alone, he'd surely send him to an orphanage.
- Hugo has managed to stay invisible in the train station for three months. And now he has to get that notebook back so he can keep working on the automaton.

DOE Funds Superconductor Transmission Cable Project on Long Island
DOE recently selected American Superconductor Corporation to install a half-mile of high temperature superconductor (HTS) cable in the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) power grid. Expected to be operating by the end of 2005, the cable will be the first installation of superconductor cable in an actual power grid at transmission voltages. The 2,000-foot cable will be installed underground in East Garden City and will carry 600 megawatts of power at 138,000 volts. Nexans will manufacture the cable from HTS wire supplied by American Superconductor, and Air Liquide will provide refrigeration equipment and oversee operation of the cryogenic cooling system for the cable. DOE will cover roughly half the cost of the $30 million project.
HTS cables can carry three to five times the power that conventional cables of the same size can carry, so they hold the potential to increase the capacity of our nation's electrical transmission system. See the American Superconductor press release.

Disk Defragmenter is an application in the MS windows which increases the speed of the system by rearranging the flies stored on a disk. Its purpose is to optimize the time in the storing of files and speed up the processing of the computer. In this article we will show you how to add the disk defragmenter to the right click menu for a drive. It is a very easy technique and can be done with a simple registry hack.
When you would apply the hack manually or by downloading it, after that you will see a new item on the right-click menu for your drives. This hack will start up the command line interface version of the Disk Defragmenter (after accepting the User Account Control prompt)
Manual Registry Hack
Firstly open up the regedit.exe from your start menu search or run box, and then browse down to the following key:
Make a new key under the shell called 'runas', and after that set the (Default) value to 'Defragment'. If you want this menu item to be hidden behind the Shift key right-click menu, then you will have to add a new string known as Extended with no value.
Next, you will have to create a key called 'command' and set the default value to the following, which is the command to run the defragmenter with the default options but show effusive output.
defrag %1 -v
You can also alternately choose from one of the other defrag switches of your own choice.
Downloadable Registry Hack
For the hack you simply have to download, extract it, and then double-click on either AddDefragToDriveMenu.reg (if you want regular menu) or AddDefragToExtendedDriveMenu.reg (to be hidden behind the Shift key). You can even remove it with the removal script.

Deciding which New Orleans eatery to try next can be seriously mind-boggling when faced with a choice of 1,311 restaurants. Luckily, The New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau has organized the eighth annual COOLinary dining extravaganza during the month of August to help with the selection process. It's reminiscent of the citywide, annual holiday Reveillon dinners, but with an even friendlier price tag. COOLinary includes more than 50 of the finest local establishments, which are offering special two and three-course lunch menus for $20 or less, and three-course dinner menus for $35 or less.
I know you'll have the utmost sympathy for me when I tell you I had the grueling task of sampling some of these menus. Ste. Marie, a modern French restaurant on Poydras in the CBD, was kind enough to host my husband and I for a preview of their lunch menu. The space is inspired by the Champagne houses of France, so I highly recommend starting off with a lovely glass of bubbly!
Ste. Marie's lunch menu features your choice of a sweet and subtle Onion Soup Gratinee, with French bread points and a very generous helping of gruyere cheese; or a dark, earthy Alligator Soup with Hard-Boiled Egg, reminiscent of turtle soup, but with more bite (no, really). For the main course, you can choose a fresh, lemony Tuna Melt topped with fontina cheese, tomato and arugula, and a huge mound of crispy pomme frites; or their savory, robust Shrimp & Grits dish with tasso, onions, and bell peppers. Generous portions and gracious hosts, indeed.
Our trip to The Pelican Club, a mix of traditional and contemporary New Orleans dishes and décor tucked away in Exchange Alley in the French Quarter, proved to be much more of a challenge. Holy smokes, if you're a terrible decision maker like me, hopefully you'll get a helpful server, like Stefan, to make recommendations on this large dinner menu, which includes dishes from their regular menu as well as dishes created just for COOLinary. It also offers wine pairings (three glasses) for an additional $20. Serious bargain.
We started off sharing two appetizers, which gave us great insight into the chef's signature technique that carried throughout the entire meal: generous portions, each with a light, balanced touch. I now much prefer the Pelican Club Baked Oysters to the blackened variety, as the applewood smoked bacon, roasted red peppers, parmesan and garlic herb butter complement the oysters, instead of competing with them. Similarly, the fresh, delicately fried Jumbo Lump Crabmeat and Shrimp Cakes are the stars of their dish, with a harmonious accompaniment from a subtle pineapple-jalapeno chutney, bright remoulade sauce, and tart fried green tomato.
For the entrée, my husband beat me to the punch and ordered the Petite Filet Mignon with Crab and Shrimp Cake. The not-so-petite filet arrived cooked to a perfect medium rare, and was accompanied by truffle mashed potatoes, tender maque choux, asparagus, and a light, slightly acidic béarnaise sauce. Not one to be a copycat, and in an effort to sample multiple dishes, I went with Stefan's suggestion: the Thai Curry Gulf Shrimp, specially created for this menu. Served in its own pot, it marries the classic combo of chiles, lime, onion, coconut milk, lemon grass, and jasmine rice with lightly fried, tender shrimp. Plus, there's a trio of Thai sauces on the side. It could stand up to pretty much any fine Thai restaurant in the city.
Finally, for dessert. We didn't have to agonize over this one. White Chocolate Bread Pudding and Vanilla Bean and Brandy Crème Brulee, please! The flavors were delightful, but with some surprising elements. The bread in the bread pudding was actually light and pillowy, while the brandy in the crème brulee was distinctive, yet not overpowering. Impressive.
Seriously, this is the way to wade through the quagmire of New Orleans restaurants! To see the growing list of participating restaurants and their special menus, visit the official COOLinary website. With events like this, it's no wonder TripAdvisor ranked New Orleans among its 2012 "Top 25 Travelers' Choice World Destinations," "Top 25 Travelers' Choice U.S. Destinations," and has acknowledged New Orleans among the most affordable cities in the U.S. for domestic travelers.
And we locals get to experience it every day! Lucky, lucky, lucky us!

For many years, Greyston has been there for me…not only providing me with employment first at Greyston Bakery and now at Greyston Child Care, but also providing my family with quality affordable housing. Because of that, I was able to move my children out of the homeless shelter and rear them off to college.Yvette Cousins Tenant and Staff Member, Greyston Child Care
All my teen years and 20s, I was doing wrong….but once I joined Greyston Bakery as an apprentice, all the good stuff happened! At Greyston, I have learned patience, self-discipline and a new attitude.Dion Drew Lead Operator, Greyston Bakery
I came to Greyston Bakery because I needed a steady income so that I could pay my bills. After joining Greyston as an apprentice, I was provided ongoing opportunities to develop my leadership skills, working my way up the ladder.Fulicia Jones Production Supervisor, Greyston Bakery
Working and living at Greyston has been a wonderful experience for me. Not only have I enrolled in college to complete a degree in education, but I am also thankful for the quality housing Greyston has provided.Julia Owns Tenant and Staff Member, Greyston Child Care

big bang with a low budget

very impressed with this headlamp really bright and cost effective
Great Headlamp/ really good value
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
This headlamp has several different modes, including one for emergencies, and it is durable enough for pretty much any activity (feels very firm and not flimsy at all when wearing). The quality it great, too. It is clear that they will last us through years of use.

Juicy and supple, the 2004 Tenuta Le Calcinaie Colli Senesi Chianti ranks as one of the most forward and disarming of all Chiantis, a novelty for a wine known more for its elegance and style than its warmth and charm. Le Calcinaie's 2004 Colli Senesi is already quite forward and aromatic; its ripe friendly scents recall a visit to the strawberry patch or a walk through northern woodlands. Pure and very easy to drink, Simone's Chianti possesses a light dollop of fruit, just a hint of spice, and a friendly finish. This is the kind of Chianti one always hopes to encounter in a good Tuscan trattoria. Unquestionably, Tenuta Le Calcinaie's Colli Senesi brings out the most amicable and engaging side of Sangiovese, Chianti's primary grape variety. We highly recommend consuming this wine at cool room temperature (about 65º F) in order to capture all of its charm.
The Tuscan table contains many culinary delights – simple flavorful dishes that beg for a wine like Tenuta Le Calcinaie's 2004 Colli Senesi Chianti. Sienese crepes, filled with smoked Tuscan meats and pecorino cheese; fennel pie with melted cheese and vegetables; or homemade semolina pasta with a mushroom or truffle sauce are just a few such Tuscan treats that provide first rate accompaniments to Simone Santini's Chianti. Ribollita, Tuscany's quintessential country cooking, which consists mainly of bread and vegetables, and what ever else is left in the kitchen from the night before, is another excellent choice with Le Calcinaie. In fact, almost any fresh pasta, light meat, or intriguing bean dish will prove a successful partner to the Great Santini's best kept secret – at least until now. Enjoy!
The tiny Tenuta Le Calcinaie estate is situated within the confines of San Gimignano, the medieval Tuscan hill town, made famous by its many towers. Considering the location and attention to quality at Le Calcinaie, this little jewel of a property has become quite renowned for its rare and exceptional Vernaccia di San Gimignano for which the town is justly famous. Considering the dearth of fine Tuscan whites, it should come then as no surprise that Tenuta Le Calcinaie has been so keenly identified with Tuscany's finest white wine. However, what the world has not yet discovered is just how wonderful this brilliant estate's red wines are, most notably Le Calcinaie's Colli Senesi Chianti and its proprietary Super Tuscan red Teodoro.
Behind the success of Tenuta Le Calcinaie is the affable and witty Simone Santini, known near and far as the Great Santini! Simone is gifted with an archetypal Tuscan sense of humor; he possesses a vibrant wit and an acute sense of irony. He is also a very fine winemaker. His Vernaccia di San Gimignano is classically wrought, exceptionally focused, and bursting with flavor. Meanwhile, the true irony lies in Simone's reds; they are as magnificent as his whites and, perhaps, even better. Yet, few people outside of San Gimignano have ever tasted one of his delicious red wines. Come to think of it, how many people outside of Tuscany have ever tasted Colli Senesi Chianti, the friendliest of all Tuscan reds in the hands of a fine craftsman the likes of the Great Santini?

Bill Miller | February 29, 2008
By Bill Miller • Friday, February 29, 2008 - 11:05
Two bills expected to clear the state legislature this session would give the green light to tolls on major highways around Puget Sound as a way to reduce traffic and greenhouse-gas emissions. A recent study says Washington State could raise $36 billion over 20 years through variable tolls.
Transportation is the single largest producer of carbon dioxide in Washington, so environmentalists say it makes sense to move toward tolls that take cars off the road.
So far so good.
Buried in the Seattle Times story about the road-toll initiative, however, is the most-likely explanation as to why legislators are backing it: The Washington State government needs a new source of money to compensate for falling revenues due to more fuel-efficient cars.
Apparently the growth of state gas-tax revenue is slowing and, as vehicles become more fuel-efficient, officials are afraid tax collections won't keep up with their spending projections.
So instead of allowing people to reap the benefits of acting responsibly by driving more fuel-efficient cars, the government is going to punish them instead by finding a new way to tax them.
Supporters argue that much of the money from tolling should be used to dramatically improve public transportation. Buses could be brought online quickly, they contend, followed by high-capacity transit systems such as light rail.
Others insist more money will be required just to maintain and expand the existing highway system.
"My perspective is that you're going to have to do these tolls because it's the only way you're going to generate [the money] to do the transportation-system improvements you need," said Mark Hallenbeck, director of the Washington State Transportation Center at University of Washington.
Besides the highway lobby, is there really a winner here?

CRANSTON, R.I. � A New Jersey man hit a lucky streak on Block Island when he bought a $20 scratch ticket and won $20, then used his winnings to buy another ticket, which won $1 million.
Thomas Mistele bought the �$1,000,000 Scratch� Instant Tickets at the Block Island Pharmacy on High Street.
He told Lottery officials that he went numb and started shaking with disbelief. He told the friend with whom he was staying on the island, then called his mother and brother.
He said he would like to have some fun and maybe buy a car but also save for retirement.

Royal wedding in Luxembourg
Jay: Honestly trying to speak as someone who's neither white nor black I don't think anything about race relations movements today is very beneficial. There's hate on both sides and it seems to be reaching a boiling point. If anyone on either race speaks in defense of the others views they are torn down by their own race. Terms like "privilege" are thrown around. I try to not define myself by my race while not forgetting my heritage. Very few people seem capable of doing that today.

Kim K is getting serious competition for her sex tape. After Montana Fishburne and Farrah Abraham now Myla Sinanaj released their own tape. They all have the same goal, to get famous and make money with their tape like Kim Kardashian did. But this time it seams things are more serious. Myla is even watching Kim's tape when she is filming her own, she is Kris Humphries' ex and many say she looks like Kim Kardashian.
Myla clearly told TMZ she made the sex tape because she wants to became famous and make money: "I may not like Kim, but she was smart and she's sexy and I look a lot like her so why not make a tape and make millions and get a reality show?"
Myla Sinanaj is also takling to Radar Online about Farrah Abraham's recently released sex tape: "Farrah totally freaked out when she found out I was doing a sex tape too," she said. "She was really scared that I was going to outsell her because she makes money based on her sales. [She] also makes a lot of money for her appearances and she didn't want the competition."
It's all about money and getting famous but the tape is not bad at all. It's even better than Kim's tape (and Myla is very hot too), so it's worth the $4.95 that Vivid is asking for the it. You can get access to the full tape here.

Post subject: just would like to say
hi everyone just wanted to say that what a life changing experiance pregnancy can be!.
i used to be a very stupid person and realised that a while before i met the woman (who i've fallen head over heels in love with and so glad and happy that she is the woman i wish to spend the rest of my life with and settle down with and have a family with.) that i used to do some very stupid things and realised that i needed to change and be a better person if im to meet a decent woman and settle down. I stoped being this stupid person and became a little bit better and since i've met the lady i'm with now she has helped me realise a number of things about my self and the friends i kept, i have now shed these so called friends from my life due to there attitudes and behavior to my other half and a little towards me 2 but mainly to towards the woman i love very deeply!. we have also realised we need to communicate a little better. but i just wanted to say to other dads who may read this its sometimes never to late to change your ways if you really value the partner you are with and love her as much as u think or say you do then change now before its to late as i guarentee you will lose out on some thing amazing what better than creating life and creating something through your love for each other, sorry if im ranting or being obvious or pathetic just thought id share my thoughts. steve

hi there i would just like to say how good at sweet talking and trying to get out of akward situations ie reedem himself,steve is.i been the woman he is going on about knows this to well,and have had enough of him and the relationship.the change around of his life he is going on about means that he no longer goes on swinger sites and sex contact sites on the internet,but yet he compares me to other women,doesn"t give a dam about the baby,example yesterday i fell in the snow i was sooooo worried about the baby(iam 18.weeks.4days pregnant)my stomach was crampy and he just turned round to me and said you must have pulled a muscle.i eventually went to the hospital after contacting my mum and nhs direct and luckily the baby is fine.he has"nt bought a single thing for the baby,i myself have saved money for a deposit on a pram and my family are gonna help me out,he will not buy a thing.his so called friends that have been harrasing me(both friends are female)he sat there and listened to one do so and never blinked an eyelid,it is only now he is bothered about it cos both women have been slagging him off.i have a very lonely life here(i moved 120miles to live with him)and have no friends and family here.he takes atvantage of this and manipulates me(as you know from post he is gr8 with words)as he knows i cannot just get up and go.i just want people to know what he is really like.erika.

Tough luck, Justin Timberlake. Christina Aguilera on Thursday shot down rumors that she has dated Britney 's old flame, while telling reporters in London that she is officially on the hunt for a boyfriend.
"I just want a sweet boy," said the star, 21, in the midst of promoting her new album "Stripped," according to Reuters.
But what about her supposed fling with the 'N Sync-heartthrob-turned-solo artist?
"Justin and I are just friends," she insisted, adding that she does nevertheless expect to see him at some point during her stay in the British capital.
On the subject of "Stripped," Aguilera says the album shows that she has grown as an artist since the day -- just three years ago -- when she exploded as a teen on the scene with "Genie in a Bottle."
"You learn a lot in this business and you learn quickly," said Aguilera, who also stated that she tries not be hurt by press criticism of her skimpy clothes and overstated makeup.
As she told reporters, "I like to be edgy, I like to be different. I'm a little bit of rebel."
And if there were any question, viewers can get a glimpse of her newfound "edgy" image -- not to mention plenty of flesh and plenty more gyrating -- in the video for her first single, appropriately titled "Dirty."

The State of Diversity and Trends in the Technology Industry
By user12609677 on Jun 11, 2007
On May 31st the Sun NJ/NY Black Employee Network hosted one of my mentors Alfred Edmond to speak about the state of diversity and trends in the technology industry. Alfred currently serves as the editor-in-chief of BLACK ENTERPRISE Magazine and is a senior vice president of Earl G. Graves Publishing Company Inc. Of course if you know Alfred he can speak to a wide range of topics and has an opinion on almost everything - the conversation branched off into a number of issues and lasted nearly 4 hours.
He spoke at length using no presentation or notes which allowed us to solely focus on the conversation which was a great change of pace. Once again of course I'd expect nothing less from a fellow Rutgers grad I've made the audio of the session available as part of our standard practice to share the experience.

Another Monday has past and another session of physical therapy has gone by. But...this time is was different. I was allowed to run! I was able to run 1 mile without any pain!! Whoo Hoo!
So I get to try again tomorrow night slowly building back up to 5k. I'm still waiting for the OK to get back into the pool.
Eventhough I haven't been cleared to start back full training yet, I can ride just about as much as I want. Sunday was a good training ride with a fellow Central PA Tri club member. We did a 38 mile course with some good rollers and a decent climb. It started out as a pretty cool morning but warmed up nicely by the time we got back.
I'm hoping for clearance today to get back into the pool so I can resume technique training since this is my weakest event.
Until next time, don't bonk!
Well, my therapist let me go for a ride Sunday! It was great to be able to get back on the bike. A group of us rode from Mechanicsburg high school out through Boiling Springs and did a flat 40 miles at a moderate pace (17-19mph). I only had an issue with my back the last 6-7 miles starting to get tight.
I still haven't been allowed to run or swim yet so hopefully I will be able to at least ride on a regular basis...
This is really putting a cramp on my training...
The past few days my back has been a little sore. I decided that it would be best to stop by the doctor's office for a look-see.
Well, it turns out that I have a herniated disk between my 3rd and 4th vertibrae which is putting pressure on my femeral nerve. The doctor doesn't think it came from my training but from something years ago and is now catching up with me.
So now I am on Naproxin (anti-inflamitory) and Physical Therapy.
Needless to say, training is on hold for now... Hopefully tonight my therapist will clear me for riding...
This is the first time I have 'blogged' about anything and the first attempt at a triathlon.
As of today, I have been training for a few weeks and successfully losing weight. Here are my stats
Starting Weight: 247lbs Today's Weight: 231.7lbs Height: 6'-2" Age: 32
I am planning to enter my first sprint Triathlon in 2009 at the Mt. Grenta Got Nerve event:
Got Nerve Triathlon

This is a discussion on [Samba] BSOD when writing from W2003 clients after SP2 has been - Samba ; Hi, We are running a RHEL4 x86_64 server, samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4.

We are running a RHEL4 x86_64 server, samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4. The server is
running with essentially the same configuration since a year without
problems. Due to a hardware failure on the back-end SAN the samba-server was
moved to a different machine (same OS, same samba version, same config). At
about the same time we deployed SP2 on various W2300 machines (there are in
total about 50 W2003 clients and about 20 WXP). Since then we observe the
following reproducible phenomenon:
Copying a file from the W2003 client to a samba share will cause the Windows
machine to crash, when the following conditions are met
1) SP2 is installed (this is the onlly necessary condition)
2) The file is sufficiently large (> 50 MB) (the larger file the more likely
the crash)
3) During or shortly after the copy, file properties are accessed (e.g. from
the Windows explorer)
4) Sometimes the file copy / property access has to be retried a few times
The Windows crash-dumps hint to a corruption in netbd, but the crashes are
not uniform, sometimes there is no BSOD but the machine is frozen.
Removing SP2 solves the problem.
More observations:
* With loglevel 3 we observe nothing (to us) obviously problematic in the
samba logs (I can provide traces if this help)
* Spying on the traffic with wireshark on the server and the client did also
not reveal anything particularly unusual (but I freely admint that I have
very little knowlege about SMB!)
* It seems that the problem is timing related: forcing the interface in 10
Mbit/s (we run Gigabit everywhere) reduces the frequency of the crashes. It
is also less frequent on W2003 clients which are separated by more hops from
the server (you have to try 10 or 20 times on a server which has an average
latency (ping) of 0.5 ms while on a server with 0.1 ms it usually happens
after at most 3 trials).
* XP machines see no problem at all.
* I found only one vaguely related post on a German mailing-list, but maybe
I didn't google for the right key-words.
I did not (yet) try to upgrade to a later samba version, because I ran into
problems when compiling it (some conflict with some XFS headers) but I did
not spend much time on this yet. Would this be worth a try?
Any hint is very much appreciated.

You obviously both make a good point. You don't want to get flooded
by messages saying that everything is all right, but you do want to
know when not every machine is able to send such a message.
Would it help if "everything is all right"-mails would be easily
discerned from messages saying "there is a problem"?
IMHO that way you could move the "everything is all right" messages
into a separate mailbox which would serve as a coarse check (there'd
be about the same amount of new messages in it every day), while the
"there's a problem" mails would still stick out like a soar thumb.
I don't know how hard this would be, it'd probably be more work than
the suggested patch.
My 2 cents.
