Dear public servant: your boss invites you to a pro-Labor rally
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, November, 13, 2012, (10:44am)
Many in the Left seem to feel entitled to the organs of the state - and to using them to promote their politics. I mentioned the Left's takeover of journalism courses yesterday. Today's example comes from South Australia, where public servants were yesterday emailed this message, inviting them to a lecture to take up the themes of an Abbott-smearing speech by Julia Gillard and rally to her side:

A Switch in Time: restoring respect to Australian politics
Presented by Mary Crooks AO for the Don Dunstan Foundation
Did the Prime Minister's recent speech in Parliament (that went international) strike a chord with you?
If so, come to Elder Hall on Monday 19 November and join in the conversation…
DATE: Monday 19 November, 2012
TIME: 5.45pm for a 6.00pm start

Mary Crooks argues that sexism, inflammatory journalism and political inaccuracies are taking their toll on 'having a fair go'. The time has come to take a stand and to restore respect for democratic principles and work for the common good.
"In a frighteningly short space of time, a series of interrelated, negative forces have come into play (in Australian politics) and are taking their toll…" The Sydney Morning Herald
Launched in September 2012 and published by the Victorian Women's Trust, A Switch in Time, is a call to action in the Trust's long standing quest for gender equality, interest in strengthening our democracy and commitment to care for the Earth. Mary Crooks AO is the Executive Director of the Victorian Women's Trust.
Join the Don Dunstan Foundation to be inspired and to gain ideas on how to play a constructive part in redirecting the negative, destructive undercurrents of the current political landscape towards a more productive and civil discourse.
"This message has been authorised by Dr Tahnya Donaghy, Deputy Chief Executive on behalf of Jim Hallion, Chief Executive, Department of the Premier and Cabinet"
Does the director of the Department of Premier and Cabinet also circulate messages of support for Liberals? Invitations to group-love sessions for Tony Abbott?
Are Liberals actually welcome in the South Australian public service?
(Thanks to reader R.)
Here's the theme of Crooks' message - that criticism of this Prime Minister's record of deceit is sexist, criticism of her carbon tax is driven only be the corrupt or the partisan, and claims (by Gillard, among others) of dangerous man-made global warming shouldn't be questioned:
The gendered attacks directed towards the Prime Minister are disrespectful - to her and women and girls generally. Levelling constructive criticism of government policies and decisions is one thing; relentless, gendered attack as has dogged the Prime Minister since her election is another. Different standards are applied to her. We are told that she lacks ''authority'', that her leadership is ''tainted'' and that she has ''breached the faith of the public'' even though this is not the first occasion that a leader's undertaking has altered....
A great weight of scientific evidence warns that our planet is in peril. Yet sectional business interests, parts of the media and a politically expedient campaign against carbon pricing have sought to discredit this evidence. Even scientists and other professionals who spend their lives in the service of the community have become targets of violent abuse and threats. In eroding public confidence in climate science, these negative elements elevate self-interest at the expense of the common good - creating confusion, mistrust and a diminishing of the reservoir of community goodwill that previously existed regarding action on climate change.
The combined weight of these developments poses an immediate and real threat to our democratic culture.
Really? What's truly dangerous to our democratic culture is to use government resources to ram this illiberal demand for the stifling of criticism of the government down the throats of people who depend on government for their salary.
Have Your Say
Are Liberals actually welcome in the South Australian public service?
Probably not. They weren't welcome at the Federal level of Public Service (Qld) where I worked until 2005.
After the Howard win of 2004 I walked into work on the Monday, with thumbs up, to a barrage of boos and hisses.

I agree with every word of this, because of the available facts. Yet, Ms Crooks seems to actually be supporting the exact opposite, using the same facts. Bizarre.

From Mary Crooks AO - A Switch in Time
as written by her in the SMH
Discord contributes nothing positive to democratic culture. A healthy democracy is founded on respect – respect for democratic principles, democratic institutions and political office; respect for the ethos of a fair go; respect for gender equality; respect for the next person; robust and respectful debate; respect for truth in reporting; respect for sound policy and legislation and, above all, respect for the common good.
To put it mildly - shut up and do and beleive everything the government tells you to do and beleive. That was democracy is! be sheep be lemmings but most of all agree without question.

Ever notice sometimes when you are reading stuff and your mind just assumes information without you actually reading it, like when a word is repeated at the end of one line and the beginning of the next, the mind generally will ignore it.
So I had to go back and double check when my mind did an auto text on this item being presented by MANY Crooks as I couldn't believe they were being so honest for once.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (11:19am)
This sort of stuff makes me sick. The SA Public Service still has a hatred of the Liberals for cutting PS numbers back in the 1990s. They weren't savage cuts, just trimming to make the state live within its means.
Likewise they're in love with the ALP because Mike Rann has swelled the public service by 20% since 2002 (yet we still have 25 year backlog of roadworks, 2nd-longest hospital waiting lists, worst education standards).
I just wish we had an ICAC here already because this is the sort of stuff it should be looking at.
The SA Public Service is so stupid that it backed Labor at the 2010 election only to find that Mike Rann reneged on his promise not to cut numbers, then announced straight after the election he was going to sack 1500+ public servants.

Australia would be better place if women reverted to a Stitch in Time.
And if you elect not to go what repercussions will there be for the public servants that actually want to do their job without interference?

Mary Crooks argues that sexism, inflammatory journalism and political inaccuracies are taking their toll on 'having a fair go'." aww fair go, Mary.
I fear Mary misses a fundamental of what it is to be Australian. To speak up without fear.. This is a free country. Australians will not be dictated to especially by jumped up intellectuals and academics..
As Thomas Sowell rightly put it.. "Of all ignorance, the ignorance of the educated is the most dangerous. Not only are educated people likely to have more influence, they are the last people to suspect that they don't know what they are talking about when they go outside their narrow fields."
Tue 13 Nov 12 (11:30am)
After Labor desperately hired the imported muck slinger McTernan this low personal slaging commenced shortly after.
If that's the best and most intelligent thing the muck slinger can do for labor, to encourage them to get down to the equivalent of school yard taunting and tounge poking, then I hope for it's sake Labor is keeping receipts for the handsome payments to him.

Many crooks argue that sexism, inflammatory journalism and political inaccuracies are taking their toll on 'having a fair go'.
There, fixed it for you…

If Julia was a male, she would have been knifed by now. Sexism is working pretty well for Julia.
Also: If "misogyny" is being dumbed down by the Macquarie Dictionary to fit in with a new definition, will they be inventing a new word for "woman hater"?
Tue 13 Nov 12 (11:43am)
It never ceases to amaze me how philanthropic and benevolent and smug are public servants. None of them having experienced the insecurities and obstacles faced by trying to create wealth in the global economy. This frantic struggle to add value in an ever more competitive world would be a good lesson for those that live their lives fully funded.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (11:44am)
This is nuts.
It appears that it is not possible to criticise PM Gillard at all.
Because she is female.
Now that's rampant sexism.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (11:45am)
I had a dream that these people actually used the same yardsticks that are the tools of their "trade " to assess their own actions ...
Tue 13 Nov 12 (11:52am)
"Man" made global warming I do not see any charges of sexism being made here!

Moyes wants Ronaldo back at United: The Sun's back page informs us that David Moyes thinks Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Manchester United. The Old Trafford boss watched the Real Madrid star during the World Cup play-off for Portugal against Sweden and has not given up entirely on bringing the player back to Manchester for a second spell at the club.
Paper Round's view: Moyes may well want Ronaldo - like every other manager in the world - but United have lost their main attraction in Sir Alex Ferguson - at least for the Portuguese, who looked on the former United boss as something of a father figure. And considering he has just signed a new five-year deal, Moyes appears to be in fantasy land.

Martinez glad he didn't take Liverpool job: Everton manager Roberto Martinez has said he could never have taken the manager's job at Liverpool, reports the Daily Star. His reasons? He would not have been able to call the shots as Liverpool boss, whereas at Everton he has freedom to work his own way.
Paper Round's view: Nothing like a bit of neighbour-baiting ahead of the first Merseyside derby of the season, is there?
- - -
Mourinho at war with Clarke: The Daily Star's back page screams out the news that Jose Mourinho is officially at war with Steve Clarke after accusing the West Brom manager of leaking details of a tunnel bust-up following their controversial match with Chelsea two weeks ago. The pair used their Friday press conferences to take digs at each other, centring on the size of their clubs ("giant" versus "small") and a phone call referee Mike Riley made to Clarke to apologise for his penalty decision.
Paper Round's view: Grown men delivering barely-concealed insults via journalists acting as willing messengers? Time for them both to leave the incident in the past and move on.

Wenger doesn't need a striker: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he is reluctant to buy a new striker in January with Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski in his squad. The Daily Mirror reports that the Gunners boss knows the winter transfer market is littered with expensive mistakes and believes that Walcott and Podolski can provide adequate back-up for Olivier Giroud.
Paper Round's view: Wenger may have a point - but only if his other two options stay fit, which is far from guaranteed. Arsenal would be better off dipping into the market to get a player on loan until the end of the season and then bring in a big name in the summer.
- - -
City target defenders: Vincent Kompany's injury means Manchester City are primed to buy a central defender, reports the Daily Mirror. Kompany will not resume training until next week at the earliest and coach Manuel Pellegrini is poised to enter the market in January. Porto's Eliaquim Mangala and Benfica's Ezequiel Garay are two names on City's radar, claims the paper.
Paper Round's view: It does seem that City need to dip into the market, with Joleon Lescott and Martin Demichelis the options to partner Matija Nastasic while Kompany is out. And considering City are so filthy rich, it's certainly a move they can afford to make. The question is though, what happens to their signing once Kompany returns? That's something that will surely be on the minds of Mangala and Garay.

So for example if I had website.com/genres/rock I'd want to show the description for the Rock tag in the Genres custom taxonomy.
After a bit of searching around i added this into my taxonomy.php:

$termDiscription = term_description( '', get_query_var( 'genre' ) );
if($termDiscription != '') : ?>

<?php echo $termDiscription; ?>

<?php endif; ?>
However it doens't seem to work, does anyone have any ideas?
Also i have multiple custom taxonomies, so is there a variable that has info of the taxonomy you are viewing? so i could replace get_query_var('genre') to get_query_var($taxonomy), otherwise i'll have to have taxonomy-genre.php, taxonomy-bob.php etc!

The number of people to pull papers for city council increased to six people, according to the city clerk's office.
William Howard pulled nomination papers on Thursday, joining a pool of other potential candidates.
Only three city council candidates have been verified by the county clerk's office. Jim Sanders, Tom Wiknich and Henry Wilson were all verified in July. Mayor Ron Carter filed his nomination paperwork for city council on Aug. 2 and waits verification by the county.
Only Lori Acton, field representative to Kern County Supervisor Jon McQuiston, has yet to file her nomination paperwork for council.
Vice Mayor Jerry Taylor has announced his intention to file for mayor, as has former council member Dan Clark. Taylor has yet to file as of Monday.
Clark's paperwork was verified by the county.
Ridgecrest resident Randy Jenkins filed and awaits confirmation, but is also running for a seat on the Sierra Sands Unified District and for the Indian Wells Valley Water District.
Both Mayor Pro Tem Chip Holloway and council member Jason Patin pulled election nomination papers as well. Both have two years left on the council and will retain their seats if they choose to run and are not elected mayor.
All potential candidates must file their election papers for city council by 5 p.m. on Aug. 10 at city hall if no incumbent files. An five-day extension is granted if incumbents file. Twenty signatures and a $25 filing fee are required.
There is no incumbent for the mayoral seat, so all election materials must be filed by Aug. 10.
William Howard said now would be as good time as any to run for city council.
"Honestly, I think it's about someone with a little common sense decided to run," Howard said during a phone interview Monday afternoon.
Howard, 76, said he has lived in Ridgecrest since he was a kid in 1945.
"The city of Ridgecrest for the longest time has just run right over its citizens without due process," Howard said. "I think someone should be in there that will at least inform for the people of what's going on."
He said he has felt at least a few of those experiences during his time in Ridgecrest.
"I moved 118 duplexes off base and the city fought that for 19 years," he said of one incident. "The city sent planning commissioners to Bakersfield to bear false witness against those duplexes many times. Finally the project died."
Howard said he felt it was time that someone should be on council that recognized the U.S. Constitution recognized individual rights as well as government rights.
Page 2 of 2 - "We don't need to be protected against each other near as much as we do against the government," Howard said.
Howard acknowledged that he currently has 37 misdemeanors against him in the last year-and-a-half regarding how he used property belonging to him.
Ridgecrest Police department verified that according to the Kern County Court, Howard does have 37 standing accounts against his name.
"There are several properties out in Ridgecrest Heights that are owned or under the control of Mr. Howard," said Ridgecrest police Capt. Paul Wheeler.
Wheeler said that those properties violate city and state municipal codes.
"He's taken some of these lots — some of them owned by him and some not owned by him — and he's surrounded them with approximate 10-foot cargo containers," Wheeler said. "He has put vehicles in various states of disrepair and scrap metal and items that would fall under the definition of a junkyard in the Ridgecrest municipal code."
However, Howard said that it wasn't an issue for his reason to run.
"I don't think that has a damned thing to do with (why I'm running)," Howard said. "I think it will all be resolved amicably soon."
"I think it's the opportune time to bring reasonableness into the game," he said.

They sell anything to anyone for the right commission. Abedin is just a loyal employee.

text: A new paint job can bring an entirely new, fresh look to a room, but think twice before deciding to do it yourself. If you choose carefully, bringing in a professional painter will ensure a quality job that will enhance the beauty of your home for years to come. Turning the project over to a pro can save you headaches, literally and figuratively. A professional painter understands the need for proper ventilation when using various kinds of paints and solvents, and when generating dust from sanding and other processes. He knows how to keep your family and pets safe from dangers an amateur might not consider. In all probability, a pro also has a steadier hand than the average homeowner. It doesn't take a great deal of skill to run a roller over a wall, but painting more delicate trim is a different matter. Most do-it-yourselfers know the frustration of painting a white baseboard or windowsill that's adjacent to a dark-colored wall. Navigating the corner between a wall of one color and an accent wall of another shade is even trickier and best left to someone with the tools and expertise to avoid a messy, uneven job.

A workplace is defined as much by social interactions as by the work that gets done. Now, not all of those interactions are pleasant (We've all endured that grumbling client or that tattletale coworker.), but some can be immensely satisfying. Praise and compliments make us feel good, and they're actually good for us. A study […] read more »
Never trade boring for discomfort. It's such an easy trap, a mistake so often made with the best of intentions. Business writing can be so very dull, so routine.

I've heard people say: "I've got to clean the house today; the maid is coming tomorrow," and I've wondered: Clean before the maid comes? Why? Thinking it through, though, it makes sense.

In the spirit of the holidays, I thought I'd have a Yuletide-themed article this month. One of Santa's eight tiny reindeers is, of course, Dasher. So let's talk a little about dashes. (Okay, that's the lamest Christmas connection ever. Well, that's all I've got. Apologies to all of you, whether you celebrate Christmas or not.) Having a client who is adept at em and en dashes is indeed rare. Usually we see the plain ol' regular hyphen being used where an em or en dash would be more appropriate. Or we often see random hyphens in varying multiples scattered throughout a paper like sprinkles on a Christmas cookie (okay, I'm still trying, but I'll quit). read more »
Let's face the facts: People judge you based on your appearance. When you need to impress a client, colleague, or boss, you don't want to leave anything to chance. You want to communicate clearly, succinctly, and flawlessly. You want to demonstrate that you're a credible source and a professional. What you don't want to do is ruin a great business idea or lose an important client just because you failed to pay attention to the details. read more »

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears
|If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears
|Studio album by The Mamas & the Papas
|March 1966
|1965 – 1966
|Pop rock, folk rock, psychedelic pop, sunshine pop
|Lou Adler
|The Mamas & the Papas chronology
|Singles from If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears
If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is the 1966 debut album by The Mamas & the Papas (spelled "The Mama's and the Papa's" on the cover). In 2003, it was ranked #127[1] on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
This album is included in its entirety on All the Leaves are Brown, a retrospective compilation of the band's first four albums and various singles, The Mamas and the Papas Complete Anthology (4CD Box).
A remastered mono CD and vinyl release was released on Sundazed Records.
Cover art[edit]
If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears is one of the first albums to have several different covers.[citation needed] The first cover features the group in a bathroom sitting in a bathtub with a toilet in the corner. Copies with this cover were pulled from stores after the toilet was declared indecent.[citation needed] The remaining covers featuring the toilet have since become collector's items.[citation needed] with one copy selling at auction for $300 [1]. A second album cover was released with a scroll over the toilet listing the presence of "California Dreamin'" on the album. Two more songs were later added to the scroll/box over the toilet. Still later, a Gold Record Award blurb was added (in black) to the left of the group. Finally, a later album cover was released with a closely cropped shot of the band surrounded by a black border that removed any hint that the picture was taken in a bathroom. Cover art produced and shot by legendary photographer Guy Webster.
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
|Rolling Stone
The album received a positive retrospective review in Rolling Stone, where critic Rob Sheffield remarked "The Mamas and the Papas celebrated all the sin and sleaze of Sixties L.A. with folksy harmonies, acoustic guitars and songs that told inquiring minds way more than they wanted to know. And on their January 1966 debut, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, they somehow made it all sound groovy." He described the album as a dark look at L.A. culture which sounds accessible and optimistic thanks in large part to Lou Adler's production.[3] Bruce Eder wrote in Allmusic that the album "embraced folk-rock, pop/rock, pop, and soul, and also reflected the kind of care that acts like the Beatles were putting into their records at the time." He added that it had a stronger polish than The Mamas and the Papas' other albums, in part because it predated the personal conflicts which tainted their later works.[2]The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[4]

Alitair Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a revenue-stage pharmaceutical company
with multiple respiratory product candidates in development, today
announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 8,617,602 from the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its ion exchange resin
drug delivery technology, REA™.
"Our proprietary ion exchange resin drug delivery platform can be
utilized across a range of therapeutic classes and with many different
molecules," stated Alitair President and CEO, William W. Howard, Ph.D.
"The REA™ platform technology allows us to improve upon currently
available therapies and create new solid-oral formulations with less
frequent dosing schedules, boh of which have been shown to improve
patient adherence."
"Being awarded this third patent is an important milestone in our
product development strategy and the growth of Alitair," continued
Howard. "We will likely use this technology to provide protection for
our orphan drug candidates, both of which can be formulated with our
REA™ technology. This would extend the life span of our orphan
candidates from 7 years to 20, further enhancing their value. We are
also actively seeking funding and development partners to build on the
momentum we've created and advance our product development programs."
About Alitair Pharmaceuticals:
Alitair Pharmaceuticals, Inc. develops medicines for the treatment of
respiratory illnesses. Alitair has out-licensed two prescription cough
candidates that use its proprietary ion-exchange resin technology
(REA™). The company has two orphan drug candidates under development.
Additional information about Alitair is available on the Alitair website

I paid these thieves for a personalize visa guide and an expert who would help me with my visa. This guide was not personalized and contained incorrect advice. The expert was a complete idiot, who barely made sense. When I asked about what sort of police check I needed for my visa I was told I needed a 'rubust' one. That was the standard of 'expert' advice. I had to research my visa requirements myself, every bit of advice i was given by this imbecile wasmin correct. I filled out complaint/ request for refund form and I was told to the nth melbourne office, it is unmanned, I continually asked them if my mail would be attended there, I was told by the idiots it would. But it never did, eventually after a hell of a lot of yelling on my behalf they admitted the mailbox was unattended. this is show they deal with complaints, your told to mail to a dead mail address. SCAM. I have logged a complaint with govt consumer dept and I'm just about to lodge a complaint with migration registration services. I after a lot more yelling i have finally got these idiots to accept my refund request form. I will get a refund if I have to drag it out them. I cannot fathom how they have stayed in business.
please never give them money and warn anyone you know not to go near them.

Looking to cut down the nets after a league championship on their home court – as their boys squad had done two days earlier – the Bellarmine Prep Lady Lions fell victim to cold shooting and the red-hot performance of Yelm's McKaiela Tyler. The Tornadoes' junior wing came off the bench to score a game-high 26 points, including four three-pointers in the first half, to lead Yelm to a 54-45 win tonight to claim the Narrows 4A title.
"That's not usual," said Lions head coach Kevin Meines of Tyler's performance off the bench. "But you've got to respect everybody, too. We can't relax on certain players and play hard on other players. It's a learning experience for our girls."
The Lions shot out to a 9-2 lead on Ionna Price's three-pointer with two minutes left in the first quarter, but Tyler answered with two treys of her own to cut it to 10-8. She added another three early in the second to give the Tornadoes an 11-10 lead. Price regained an 18-14 lead with another three and a tough turnaround jumper, but Tyler later hit her fourth three, and gave Yelm a 24-22 at the half with a layup with 17 seconds remaining.
The Tornadoes took control early in the second half with a 14-0 run to make it 38-24, as Anushka Maldonado scored seven points during the stretch. The Lions' offense, meanwhile, looked flustered as they rushed shots on offense and succumbed to the Tornadoes pressure defense.
"We missed a lot of shots we normally hit," said Meines. "They played good defense. They're fundamentally sound. They're always there. We had to fight for everything we got."
But the Lions immediately responded with a 10-0 run of their own, as Claire Martin hit two early shots in the fourth quarter and Jayana Ervin – who led the Lions with 10 points and eight rebounds off the bench – hit a layup to cut it to 38-36 with five minutes left.
But that's as close as the Lions would get, as Yelm hit a couple of key layups and was able to salt away the game at the free-throw line.
"I was proud of our kids," said Meines of the comeback effort. "They fought. We've been preaching that all year. When they compete, and when they fight they're a tough team to beat. It's when we relax and go through those two or three-minute stretches where we let them gain momentum that we don't have anything to answer that."
Price and Jasmyne Holmes finished with eight points for the Lions, while Maldonado had 11 points for the Tornadoes. Bellarmine claimed the second seed to the district tournament, getting a home game next Tuesday night at 7 p.m. against the winner of Saturday's game between Kentridge and Rogers.

Grades 11-12
Speaking and Listening SL.11-12.4
Presentation of knowledge and Ideas
SL.11-12.4. Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, conveying a clear and distinct perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are addressed, and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of formal and informal tasks.
In the previous standard, students were asked to consider audience and purpose as they presented information in a clear, organized fashion, while offering key summary points and important evidence in an authoritative style. In this standard, we'll build on this further. The listeners in the audience will hear detailed information about key concepts, differing views, and relevant applications. With practice and confidence, you'll find your students rising to the challenge.
In the assignment that follows, your students will research an idea, collect and summarize information, shape their oral presentation in an organized manner, and apply the concept to real life. When properly done, their audience will walk away better informed.

Sample Assignment:
Not to be confused with the word illusion, your teacher has asked you to present information about the term allusion, which is an indirect reference to a person, place, event, book, or character. You've noticed that they're everywhere, and you don't always understand them. Your teacher explained that it is important to know many of them so that you look smart as you head off to college or go out into the work world. He noted, too, that they appear in movies and social conversations. You know you're going to need all the help you can get out in that brave new world!
Each student in your class has been assigned a different allusion. Lucky you! You've drawn the phoenix.
There are several parts to this formal task. First, research must be done to discover the original source, or use, of the allusion. Then, a brief summary needs to be written about the story. The broad concept must be explained. Next, any alternative perspectives should be presented. How does the allusion play out from one culture to another? Are there differences and alternate viewpoints? Finally, modern examples must be given that relate to the symbol of the allusion. You will write this in a speech format. You will use just one note page on the LCD projector, and provide links to that note as you present your work to your classmates. With your classmates, about 30 different allusions will be studied. You'll be creating a sort of an Allusion for Dummies collection.
After researching the phoenix, you learn that many cultures, including Arabian, Persian, Greek, Roman, and Chinese, mention the bird. But most recognize the legendary fowl as part of Egyptian mythology. The bird, that is said to have been able to live for hundreds of years, produces a new feathered friend when it dies. Many say the phoenix represents immortality or life after death. A phoenix literally "rises from its own ashes" to be reborn. On a broader scale, the phoenix can represent any person that shows strength and resiliency in the face of fire and danger. Think Harry Potter.
You also find many modern day connections. For example, you read the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The author writes about a phoenix, alluding to the ways in which man can repeat what he does over and over again the same way the phoenix recycles itself. The bird is a character in at least two video games: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Phoenix Arcade Game." There are many other uses: University of Phoenix, an online school; NASA's Phoenix Land Mars Lander; a Grammy Award winning band from Versailles; the Boston Phoenix, a newspaper; and, Phoenix, Arizona.
As each student presents, listeners will fill out a four-column cheat sheet: Allusion, Original Source/Summary, Broad Concept, and Current Examples. This will help organize the large body of information about to be delivered.
(Hint: Don't take the chart with you on your next date, just to look smart. Memorize a few. We're just sayin'.)
Drill 1
Short Answer:
1. Which three parts of this standard would be considered first in the process?
2. What are the keys to answering questions in a report, presentation, or discussion?
3. Describe the meaning of multiple perspectives.
1. Consideration of purpose, audience, and genre of the task would first be considered.
2. Keys in answering any question is providing information in the form of a claim, which must then be supported by details and analysis, and drawing conclusions.
3. Perspective refers to the viewpoint from which something is seen. Because people are different, individuals may have different perspectives on issues and subjects. Thus, alternate viewpoints, as well as opposing viewpoints, must be considered.

Spica Cast Without a Bar
A spica cast is used as treatment to stabilize the hips, legs, or pelvis. It may be needed as treatment for abnormal bone or joint development (such as developmental dysplasia of the hips, or DDH) or for problems resulting from an accident or injury. The cast is made from plaster or fiberglass. It is worn continuously, usually for 2 to 3 months.
Soft padding, such as moleskin, is placed around the edges of the cast in the diaper area. For babies and young children who are not toilet trained, a small diaper is tucked beneath the cast.

Turner was pleased with the display of his side, once again packed with young players to provide energy, as they climbed above the Latics in the lower reaches of the npower League One table.
He said: "I think he's risen to his role as captain. He's put in two tremendous performances and that might have just given him that little bit of responsibility.
"We showed a lot of energy for this stage of the season, a lot of brightness in our play.
"We played some good stuff, some real pacy football and I was pleased with the manner we performed."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This is the 4th website I am having this issue with.
All sites are hosted on HostGator, all email is being run through Google Apps (for domains), including the alternate/test email addresses from a different domain. We have logged in via a browser and checked the spam folder for the emails.
The site is hosted on the same domain as the email the form is to go to (TheirWebSite.com for example). If I use email@example.com the form works on the front end but we never receive the email. They are not ending up in spam folders. We have put TheirWebSite.com on the safe / please give me these emails list.
If I change the email address to firstname.lastname@example.com we get the form's email.
If I use the 'Send A Test Email' button on the form admin page, I do not get any errors, but the results are the same as above.
I can use the email@example.com email address on SomeOtherDomain.com's wordpress FSC-form and it receives the form. But neither domain can receive email from their own email accounts.
This is the 4th website where we are having this issue, and a co-worker of mine has posted about this 2 weeks ago.
We have followed the instructions on this page http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/email-does-not-send
I even upgraded the plugin to 18.104.22.168 and it still doesn't work. All the wordpress sites in question are 3.4.X versions. All of these sites are built on child 2010 or 2011 themes.

2014 Triathlete Buyer's Guide: Wheels
- by Ian Buchanan and Aaron Hersh
- Published Apr 16, 2014
- Updated Apr 12, 2016 at 12:39 PM UTC
The 2014 Triathlete Buyer's Guide magazine is out on newsstands now (and check out the digital version), and we're giving you a sneak peek right here. Check out the wheels from the guide here and check back to Triathlete.com for more Buyer's Guide content.
Campagnolo Bullet 80
$2,400, Campagnolo.com
The draw: Iconic brand association
Choosing Campagnolo parts for your bike is more than an equipment decision—it serves as a membership card into a club of cycling devotees. The traditional Italian company hasn't caught up with the technological advances in wheel design made by some brands, and ride feel is decidedly rough on straight roads and in corners. Riding these wheels is a loud statement of devotion to decades of cycling history.

Guest Star
Bennett: (to John during the goodbyes, making a pun on "lover boy," following the fuss over the classification of worms) Good night, larva boy.
Dorothy: Have you ever appeared on radio?
Dennis Day Radio? What's that?
Dorothy: I'm not going to cooperate with you, John! I'll get my "no" on my own.
John: Do you want it now or later?
(1) "WML?" SPONSOR AND ANNOUNCER INTRO WATCH: Tonight's main sponsor was Remington electric shavers. During the opening, the announcer tried out another alternative, albeit short and sweet, introduction for Dorothy: "The popular Broadway columnist."
(2) FRED ALLEN QUIP WATCH: Ever the man with the dry wit, Fred introduced Arlene as "the oldest living president of a Jessica Dragonette fan club." Miss Dragonette (1900-1980) -- who supplied the singing voice of "Princess Glory" in Max Fleischer's 1939 animated feature "Gulliver's Travels" -- never made any appearances on "WML?," either as a guest panelist or mystery guest.
(3) "WML?" OVERLAY SCREEN WATCH: The overlay for the first contestant, Nicole Germain, is set in all capital letters, with the exception of the word "on," which is set in lower case, thus producing this effect: "WHAT'S MY LINE PANELIST on CANADIAN TV" -- note that the overlay did not contain the usual question mark after the show title.
(4) MYSTERY GUEST DENNIS DAY: The popular "Irish tenor" and longtime regular of "The Jack Benny Program" made his only appearance on "WML?" this evening; Mr. Day's nameplate, as with most mystery guests, was set in Title Gothic Condensed No. 11. Dennis is the third regular performer from the long-running series -- after Eddie "Rochester" Anderson and Mr. Benny himself -- to appear on "WML?" Alas, three other major cast members never made any kind of appearances on this soon-to-be Sunday night institution: Jack's wife Mary Livingstone; longtime announcer Don Wilson; and "The Man of a Thousand Voices," Mel Blanc. More than a month prior to tonight's show, on December 18, 1954, Mr. Day appeared as "Tommy Tucker" in a TV production of "Babes in Toyland" on NBC, directed and produced by the legendary Max Liebman of "Your Show of Shows" fame.
(5) "WML?" CREDITS CRUNCH WATCH: Once again, it was "crunch" time for GSN on its July 9, 2008 airing of this episode, carrying on its usual with its disdainful, disrespectful and disgusting shrinkage of the screen during the end credits sequence.
(6) COUNTDOWN TO THE END OF "IGAS" - FOUR MORE EXTANT SHOWS TO GO: Following GSN's July 9, 2008 airing of tonight's show, the cable and satellite channel reran the February 13, 1967 edition of "I've Got a Secret." Host Steve Allen started out at the opening by jumping up and down on a trampoline, before introducing the panel of Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, Bess Myerson and Henry Morgan. The celebrity guest was Cliff Robertson, then a few months away from appearing in the film "The Honey Pot"; on this "IGAS" episode, he drove around the stage in a vehicle called a "Jigger." - W-B (2008)
REVIEW: The panel had a pretty decent night tonight. Arlene correctly guessed that the first contestant was a member of the Canadian WML panel. After the game, Nicole was invited to sit down with the panel and play the game. So - for the second time in WML history - a game was played with five people on the panel. Unfortunately, they were totally stumped by the second contestant who raised worms. The panel, particularly Dorothy, was more successful in the mystery guest round. Dolly Mae pretty much had it nailed down and correctly guessed that it was Dennis Day, who tried to use a wide variety of dialects to fool the panel. He might have fooled Bennett, but he ran into a buzzsaw with Dorothy Mae Kilgallen. After the game, John mentioned Dennis' old boss, Jack Benny. This gave Fred the perfect opportunity to get a good dig into his friend/sparring partner. All in all, it was a good evening. - Sargebri (2005)
Tidbits: In addition to telling the panel that a worm is a "domesticated" animal, John incorrectly speculates that a worm is a member of the "larvae family." This prompts the public to send him letters, and he refers to three of them next week. Between now and the end of WML's run, this is only one of many times that John or a panel member is confused over "what animal" belongs to "what group." - Suzanne (2005)
Panel: Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf. Nicole Germain was a partial guest panelist, playing Game two only. She is a regular panelist of the French-Canadian version of What's My Line?

Archive for the 'Meeting Street' tag
Columbia School of Karatedoo, 604 Meeting Street: 2013 2 comments
I noticed this little dojo on Meeting Street back in October when I was checkout out Conumdrum. It looks like maybe the name changed to simply Columbia School of Karate for a while, but the last phonebook listing is in the 2013 book.
Conumdrum Music Hall, 626 Meeting Street: 31 October 2015 4 comments
Conumdrum opened in the space formerly occupied by Bloomin' Idiots garden center, and based on the name, I reported it as a drumming studio when I did the closing for that business.
In reality, though I never got to check it out personally, it seems to have been a nice little eclectic music venue, and a five year run is not bad for a site neither in The Vista nor Five Points.
Technesis, 536 Meeting Street: November 2014 2 comments
I was unaware of Technesis on Meeting Street, but commenter Frank notes:
Technesis at 536 Meeting St in West Columbia has closed.
This was the followup operation to Microprice around 2010.
The owner sold the customers to another IT company out of Charlotte and closed the doors.
It is nice that the customers were taken care of in the closing.
(Hat tip to commenter Frank)
Marpie's Antiques & Collectibles, 910 Meeting Street / 2040 Augusta Road: May 2014 3 comments
Commenter James reports the closing of Marpie's Antiques & Collectibles on Augusta Road.
This is an interesting location in a building which is shared with Avon and has nice little family plot outside. The peeling marquee sign reveals part of the name of a previous business underneath, but I am unable to make it out. It appears to be
EDSUPDATE 24 June 2014 -- Here's some pictures of the previous location at 910 Meeting Street:
Summit Cycles, 716 Meeting Street: November 2013 no comments
Bicycle shop Summit Cycles was in this nice old house near the top of the hill on Meeting Street, just down from WECO. There's not much more I can say about it, other than if you got your bike there, I'll bet you could coast all the way to the State Museum, lights permitting..
(Hat tip to commenter jonathan)
Modern Lighting Center, 633 Meeting Street: 30 November 2012 6 comments
It was pouring down rain today when I noticed that Modern Lighting Center on Meeting Street was closed. I have always liked the big carraige light they had by the street (the link shows a nice picture of it). According to their sign, lights out was on 30 November of 2012.
UPDATE 3 December 2014 -- This place is now Columbia Flag & Sign Company, though vestiges of Modern Lighting remain:
Chiva Auto Sales, 1040 Meeting Street: 2012 no comments
I already did a closing on this building on Meeting Street in West Columbia near Triangle City for when it was Bell's Hamburger Drive-In, but I noticed a while ago that the follow on operation (which was not the immediate follow-on!) Chiva Auto Sales is now gone as well.
That gave me a chance to get some more shots of this place, without all the cars parked outside, and the guy wondering what the heck I was doing sitting inside. However, the place is tightly fenced off now, so I still can't get any close shots through the building windows. It will be a shame if the next owners tear down the building and marquee which absolutely scream of a certain era, but I can't imagine it being suited to much other than used-car office these days..
UPDATE 3 December 2014 -- This building has now been razed. See the pictures at the Bell's Hamburger Drive-In closing.
WECO Billiards, 750 Meeting Street: 2000s 4 comments
I really like the sign here at the former WECO Billiards. It has a similar aesthetic to Varsity Billiards and Red Wing Rollerway.
This site for the current owners of the building (note the clever URL) says it was built originally as a grocery. It was still operating as a billiard hall in the February 1997 phonebook, but by the time of the next one I have here at home (February 2007), the listing was gone. Since then it appears to have been a thrift store, and now houses a number of operations as detailed at the previous link.
Subway, 509 Meeting Street: Late October 2011 (Open again) 4 comments
When I did the closing for Rudy's Upper Deck, commenter Bobby P. wondered how much longer the adjacent Subway would be able to make it. Unfortunately, the answer turns out to be "not long". I don't go to Subway too often as the booths and atmosphere don't really suit me, but they do make a decent sandwich.
This makes it three vacant storefronts in a row (Subway, Rudy's and Fast Cash Advance) at The Shoppes At Meeting Place, and at least one more non-contiguous one.
(Hat tip to commenter Peter)
UPDATE 18 January 2012 -- Some sort of work is going on here:
UPDATE 5 April 2012 -- Open again, yet still closed the day I drove by:
AAA Personal Check Advance (aka Fast Cash Advance), 513 Meeting Street: 2010 no comments
Here, next to Rudy's Upper Deck in The Shoppes At Meeting Place is another of Columbia's many defunct personal finance storefronts. Of course, in these times, it helps to be too big to fail..

ATHENS-----Georgia is ranked No. 14 in the Baseball America Preseason
Top 25 released Tuesday. Texas A&M holds the top spot in the poll
followed by LSU, North Carolina, Texas and Cal State Fullerton to
round out the top five.
The Bulldogs are among five Southeastern Conference schools ranked in
the top 25. LSU is second, Ole Miss sixth, Alabama No. 21, and
Arkansas is ranked 22nd.
The staff of Baseball America determines the Top 25 rankings.
Georgia returns six starting position players in 2009 including Bryce
Massanari (.325, 11 HR, 65 RBI), Matt Cerione (.303, 7 HR, 33 RBI),
Michael Demperio (.238, 2 HR, 16 RBI), Joey Lewis (.264, 6 HR, 38
RBI), Rich Poythress (.374, 15 HR, 75 RBI) and Lyle Allen (.274, 2
HR, 30 RBI). Pitchers Trevor Holder (8-4, 4.41 ERA), Alex McRee
(7-1, 3.98 ERA), Will Harvil (2-1, 4.88 ERA) and Dean Weaver (6-1,
4.24 ERA) also return.
Overall, the Bulldogs return 18 lettermen off the 2008 SEC
Championship squad that posted a 45-25-1 record and a consensus
number two final ranking in the national polls. Georgia has advanced
to the College World series three times in the past five years.
