A man who authorities say was in the country illegally appears to have violated a primary rule of being an illegal immigrant: Keep a low profile.
Armando Portillo-Munoz was seen by witnesses driving an all-terrain vehicle and doing doughnuts in a rodeo arena in July in Dimmitt, according to a federal court filing in Amarillo.
According to the filing, Portillo-Munoz had a handgun tucked in his waistband during the episode.
He recently pleaded guilty to being an illegal immigrant in possession of a firearm. The incident in Dimmitt occurred July 10.
Witnesses told police that a man was seen driving in the arena, in the 1400 block of Castro County Road 514. Dimmitt police located Portillo-Munoz, whose age was not available, and found a .22-caliber revolver in his possession, according to the court filing.
He told police the handgun was for shooting coyotes. Authorities determined the firearm had been registered in another state.
The investigation led authorities to discover that Portillo-Munoz had entered the U.S. illegally a year earlier, court records show.
He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

OSHA News Release – Region 4
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 4 News Release: USDOL: 00-229
Fri., Dec. 29, 2000
Contact: John Burroughs
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration today cited Construction Labor Services, Inc., and proposed penalties totaling $45,750 for safety violations found at an excavation site in mid-town Mobile.
According to Lana Graves, OSHA's Mobile area director, company employees were working in an excavation over ten feet deep without proper protection while sections of the wall fell into the trench and raw sewage seeped from a broken sewer line they were repairing.
"OSHA inspected this company three times before this August inspection," Graves said. "Company officials recognized the hazards and knew the trenching standards, but did nothing to protect the workers."
Following the inspection, the employer was cited for one willful violation of the trenching standards with a proposed penalty of $35,000 for failing to provide a protective system such as sloping, shoring or a trench box to protect employees from a potential cave-in.
The remaining $10,750 penalty was proposed for five serious violations. These included failure of the designated competent person to stop work and correct hazards when they were observed; allowing a track hoe bucket loaded with soil to swing over the heads of employees working in the trench; allowing employees to work without hard hats; not properly supporting underground utilities, sidewalks, pavement and structures while trenching operations were in progress; and not providing ladders for workers to enter and leave the trench.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the OSH Act and regulations.
A serious violation is one in which there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result and the employer knew, or should have known, of the hazard.
Mobile-based Construction Labor Services, Inc., has 15 working days to contest OSHA's citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Inspection of the Beltline Road job site was conducted by OSHA's area office located at 3737 Government Blvd., Building 1, Suite 100, Mobile, Ala., 36693; telephone: (334) 441-6131.
OSHA urges employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards to contact the Mobile area office. OSHA's toll-free nationwide hotline, 1-800-321-6742, (1-800-321-OSHA) may be used to report workplace accidents, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, especially if they occur outside normal business hours.

Where an employee who was awarded closed periods of weekly incapacity benefits argues for an increase in his average weekly wage reflecting "time and a half" payments for hours worked in excess of 40 per week, while the insurer argues that the employee's average weekly wages should be decreased by subtracting "under the table" payments made by the employer, neither claim holds merit and thus the award is affirmed.

Where an insurer has been held liable for an injury to the employee's left shoulder and ordered to pay a closed period of total incapacity benefits, ongoing partial incapacity benefits and medical benefits, the judge did not clearly adopt an expert medical opinion supporting his findings or perform an adequate §1(7A) analysis, and consequently the decision must be vacated and the case recommitted for further findings of fact.Read More »

Where, in denying a self-insurer's complaint to discontinue or modify an employee's weekly compensation benefits, a judge consulted and relied, in part, on a learned treatise to determine whether a material component of the employee's testimony was credible, the judge's reliance upon the medical publication was contrary to law, and thus the decision must be vacated and the case recommitted for a hearing de novo before a different administrative judge.Read More »

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Beer Talk' started by thecheapies, Jan 21, 2013.
Here's a bad one:
It not outdated per say but Town Hall's website is an absolute nightmare.
Magic Hat only because it's still hard to navigate.
Diamond bear
Full pint
Three Floyd's
New Hollands web site needs work
That website is horrible. You always know what's on the food menu but never what's on tap. Their Facebook page is even worse because they only mention their Indy tap room.
Lawson's is bad. Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery's is good.
Darn tootin' kids and there internet websites with their flashin' lights......
Sure, the beer is the most important thing but websites are about everything else and a reflection on the business as a whole. I go to Brewery websites to find out about new releases, shop for brewery merchandise, get tour info, as well as many other things. And funny you mention research, as I think so many of the threads created here on BA asking questions, could have been answered by just going to the brewery website for the info. Now that I have spoken my mind, does anyone know when DFH Aprihop is released?
Came in to say the same. I have a little bit of sitebuilding experience and have been tempted to put together a simple site for them. All I ask is that I'm paid with a year's supply of Baltic Porter.
The Ska Brewing site is pretty horrid http://skabrewing.com/main.html. Decent music but the navigation and I just find the whole thing clunky and not user friendly.
The Foothills brewing site is just plain bad, The calendar hasnt been updated since October. When I was at Foothills for the SC release, I me the new marketing guy Andy, After I said hello the first words out of my mouth were "your website sucks" he agreed and said to give him about 4 months and it would be totally redone. Lets hope so.
My response was an attempt at humor. Nothing more nothing less.
FYI - according to a beer release calendar I downloaded from somwhere - Aprihop is released in March.
I do the same thing. I don't even have pics of myself on my page.
Foothills has done a great job lately with social media on both Facebook and Twitter, where before they had very little presence. I've spoken with one of their new marketing guys and think they'll take care of the site soon.
I do understand that and maybe shouldn't have replyed to your specific post but just wanted to make the point that in this day and age, there is no excuse for not having a decent and informative website.
Maybe it's just me, but I care more that brewers are putting out a solid beer than a really nice web site.
When I crack open a cold one, I don't sit there and stare at their site.
I care more about:
Tasty Beer
Good Price
Alcohol Content
Easily findable/Readily accessible
How it's packaged
Catchy Label Art
Their Web site.
Why are so many acting like this is an "either or" sort of thing? How much time, energy, and money REALLY goes into designing a decent website?
Yeah, you're right - with age, I've lost the need for someone to have to shake their keys at me to get my attention.
A brewery getting better each year but really needs help with their site.....O'so Brewing in Wisconsin. Small brewery but hopefully they are able to make a big update to their site. However, as long as they keep expanding with bigger and better beer I am not going to worry about their site too much!
Beat me to it. My bf and I went recently and looked up the site to see what was on tap beforehand, and wow... in his words, "1995 called, they want their web design back."
We plan on going to Kuhnhenn soon so we've also seen that gem. Ouch.
As far reaching customers about promotions and marketing I completely agree. There's little benefit for brewers to maintain a calendar of events or a blog on a website when Facebook and Twitter are so much more effective. However, I do like to check out brewers' websites from time to time for reference materials, which Facebook and Twitter are horrible at. For example, occassionally I like review basic info on a brewer's beers, their beer release schedule, brewery hours and tour info [if applicable], and distribution information/contacts. These which don't require a fancy expensive website or significant maintenance/updating through the year and are very difficult to provide through social media.
Before Trav beats me to it: http://www.valkyriebrewery.com/
This all begs the question - what breweries have *good* web sites?
Yeah, but can any of the brewery webpages beat THIS webpage, for best result if you say you are not 21?? I think not...
Any website that you can't remember being horrible, IMO.
A brewery website is never going to be a "destination" on the web for most people (outside of hardcore fans, maybe). Its purpose is to provide easy access to information. Most people won't remember the time they needed to look up the release date of a beer on your site, the information was easily accessible, and then they moved on about their day. They WILL remember the time they needed that information and the process was annoying or the design was outdated/ugly/etc.
It's more important to be "not bad" than it is to be "good" on this issue. Websites like Revolution's or Goose Island's probably aren't winning any web design awards, but I've never gone to either site and had trouble getting exactly what I wanted.
And on topic, Ska's website is a chore to navigate for me.
For having the #1 beer here, alchemist's site is like the first week of html class.

I absolutely love this sugar body scrub !! I have tried so many others in the past I can't count . This is the BEST ! This is not greasy or oily and does not leave your shower slippery or dangerous . You don't need to scrub your shower out every time you use it . It is a very rough exfoliater that doesn't crumble off the body ... It stays put till you rinse off . No stinging skin from the sugar ! I really love the Chocolate smell !!! I wish they made more products with chocolate scent !!

This is the most intense chocolate experience you can imagine. I will have to buy 100 of these if they're ever discontinued (please don't!). Not only does this leave your skin baby soft after a scrub, it fills your shower with the aroma of brownie batter. The chocolate smell is so heavenly it can literally cure a craving to eat chocolate. I also felt as if I've indulged in a high calorie treat every time i use this in the shower!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Shea Terra's sugar body scrubs! I have a bumpy skin condition (keratosis pilaris) and after 40 years finally found this product to really exfoliate my skin to a buttery softness. I've used salt scrubs in the past, but ultimately found them too drying. I love the dark chocolate, marula, and pineapple scents especially. They all work great, the chocolate is a little stiffer to work with but good.Hoping maybe they will make it a bit creamier perhaps.

Sweet Stuff
This Shea Butter & Malawi Sugar 2 n 1 body scrub smells, straight out the jar, like divine dark chocolate mousse. Scooping it out, the sugar grains are a great size (not too big and sharp) and the volcanic rocks add a nice constant grit that keep working to buff your skin after the sugar has melted. This stuff is amazing. My skin has never been so soft and smooth for so long after washing off the scrub (which leaves a brown puddle below your feet which is a little weird at first if you aren't used to darker pigmented scrubs). I give it five stars for how amazingly nourished it leaves my skin; and the smell is great. I really can't smell it after I've washed it off but it's noticeable to others. No one has complained yet, so if you do like a sweeter aroma to your scrubs, it's a good buy. All in all I do enjoy it. I would say, even though it's 8 oz, it mightn't last too long if you use it every day. Regardless, worth it. I'm a happy costumer.

Movie loving Brit living Down Under. Anything 'end of the world' themed usually gets my attention, but The Stand has yet to be beat.
"Half Decent"
This is really a book of two halves. The first half, in which our rogue asteroid is treated as a character, given a backstory and such, details the oh-so-slow-and-boring approach of armageddon. It's not tense, it's not sweaty-palm inducing, it's just dull. Mostly uninteresting characters do mostly uninteresting things as scientist endlessly debate how close this big chunk of doom will miss earth by. Now, forgive me for nit-picking, but I really don't see the point of devoting endless pages to characters repeatedly insisting the event the book is written around isn't going to happen. I know it's going to hit; that's why I bought the story. By all means, spend a little time on such things but anything more is flogging a dead horse.
And when the comet does, finally, touch down, the book improves. The mechanics of destruction, the effect of Lucifers Hammer on the Earth are particularly well done and suitably 'wow' in their description, as are the cascade of events that follow such a massive event.
But then the book just becomes a fairly generic post-apocalyptic tale. Looting, pillaging, rape, murder, gangs, some trying to get the world back up and running and some trying to burn the last few bits of civilisation left standing. It all feels very familiar and contains, with few exceptions, very little that strays off the well worn path of post apocalyptic fiction.
The benchmarks in this genre for me are The Stand, Alas Babylon and Swan Song, two of which thread the generic end of the world story with the supernatural and are much better for it and the other, Alas Babylon, is just a better written, more interesting and more immersive tale. Lucifer's Hammer is just a bit too 'The A to Z of The Apocalypse' to warrant much of a recommendation.
The narration is good, though sometimes the narrator lacks the ability to make voices easily distinguishable, but that's a minor gripe. It's just a ho-hum story.
"Good Book"
I never lost interest in the book. Some thought that the book started slow but I didn't. It kept me interested from start to finish. The start of the book was informative and set the stage for a very exiting finish.
"Timeless writing"
This audiobook, written in 1977, is timeless. The characters and events which take place, could easily take place today. Well worth the listen.
"Good Old Fashioned Armageddon"
You've seen it before -- except this was where you saw it 'before.' An old-fashioned meteor-strikes-Earth novel that I had somehow missed but that is somehow not "dated," although it is decades old (Yes, it is "dated" in terms of the technology, of course...but that would make any novel not set in the present time "dated."). The characters' reactions to total disaster are spot on and timeless. The writing is well done...I was engrossed. Could absolutely not stop listening.
"well worth it"
I was intrigued by the title and found out that it was a clever play on a central character's name. I really enjoyed this audiobook and would highly recommend it. Check it out and you will see!!!!!
"A Good Listen"
Niven and Pournelle combine to make a well developed, plausible outcome to a devastating direct strike by a comet. The character development is not overly drawn out and the story moves along well.
"The Comet takes too long to hit"
The beginning was very boring to me. I kept at it knowing that it had to get better after the comet hit. It did, but then, it ended way too quickly and some of the events were glossed over. Still, not a bad listen, could have been better...
"Period piece, what if a comet hit in '79"
Good read, dated material, but still a great story. There's plenty of character development and the story moves nicely. A cannibal army always makes for some fun times!
"Decent book but VERY dated"
I don't think I could do this book more than once. It's just too dated, and felt long and drawn out at times. In spite of it being a decent book.
Easily Harry the mail man. He provided some much needed humor and is a breath of fresh air in contrast to the dreary ambiance of the book.
Probably the best part of this audio book was the reader.
The book is very dreary and mellencholy once you get past the first 4 hrs prior to the Comet striking. You are pretty much looking at a post apocolyptic landscape filled with murder and cannibalism with the stark reality of even good people doing what they must to survive not just on a personal level but as a species. Having to turn away whole families at the front gate of a stronghold just because they know they don;t have enough resources to support them is pretty much condemning the family to die. But some great points are raised about the neccessity of certain occupations and skills sets and how valueable they become to the greater good and the commune itself.
Again, Solid book, the only issue i take with it is it really dated itself by incorporating the cold war mentality of anti-communism sentiment. They also had a bunch of hippies in their own commune, and made several refrences to the vietnam war and what amounts to the Black Panther movement of the sixties. Who were also conveniently the "Bad Guys". All that just made this feel very dated and it was hard to get past that for me.
Indiscriminate Reader
"Well, it's better than "Armageddon""
There was a time when Larry Niven was one of my favorite authors. Of course, that time was when I was an immature SF geek who didn't read much else. Okay, I still think "Ringworld" was kind of awesome. And I have fond memories of some of his other collaborations with Jerry Pournelle, e.g. "Footfall" and "Oath of Fealty." But the last few I have read really unearthed things I didn't notice when I was younger, and this one, which was one of their early collaboration, really shows its age.
"Lucifer's Hammer" is fine plot-wise. In fact, I'd say Niven and Pournelle always do very well with the plots and the hard SF. This is an end-of-the-world post-apocalypse adventure, and I love those like candy. So I enjoyed it despite groaning every now and then at the authors', ah... issues.
Written in 1977, "Lucifer's Hammer" is your basic "comet strike devastates Planet Earth" scenario. The Hamner-Brown comet is spotted months away by a wealthy amateur astronomer, and as it approaches, excitement turns to apprehension as scientists keep revising the estimate of the odds of the comet striking Earth from "billions to one" to "millions to one" to "thousands to one," and... you get the idea. It is not exactly a spoiler to say that the comet does, in fact, strike the Earth — in fact, it fragments into pieces which land in massive strikes all over the globe. Pretty much every coastal area is wiped out, there are massive weather changes, tectonic shifts bring volcanoes to life, so yeah, pretty much the end of global civilization, as least for a few generations. It doesn't help that as soon as the strikes begin, the USSR and China launch nukes at each other. Thanks in large part to a joint US-Soviet space mission, with astronauts and cosmonauts watching the entire Armageddon playing out from orbit, they are able to prevent the US from launching and being targeted in return.
The remainder of the story takes place in California, where survivors in the San Joaquin valley go about preparing for the coming ice age and trying to rebuild what little civilization they can. Needless to say, this is complicated by both internal tensions and external threats from an army of anti-technology fanatics who practice ritual cannibalism, led by a mad doomsday preacher.
It's very exciting stuff, and also fairly realistic in how it approaches both the social and technological challenges of survival in a post-armageddon scenario.
So why only three stars? Well, for starters, there is Niven and Pournelle's usual problem with women. It was even worse in "The Mote in God's Eye," and I was (pleasantly) surprised that there was not a lot of gratuitous rape to spice up the fall of civilization, but the female characters all pretty much go into instant "Attach myself to the nearest alpha-male" mode, and one of the characters is even referred to (ironically, and with awareness of her role, which she does not particularly like) as the "Princess" because her Senator father is the current leader of the survivors, and whoever marries her will ensure the stability and succession of the dynasty. So there was a little bit of awareness there, and yeah, it was written in 1977, but still, one gets the distinct impression that when the Senator's aide reflects smugly to himself that one of the few good things about Hammerfall was that it put an end to "Women's lib," he's kind of speaking for the authors.
Oh, then there's the part about that cannibal army forming around a group of Black Nationalists who were going on a crime spree when the Hammer fell. The New Brotherhood Army eventually becomes a multi-racial, ostensibly egalitarian organization ("egalitarian" in the sense that anyone regardless of race who steps out of line gets killed and eaten), but the leaders are the Black Nationalists and a black former Army sergeant. Until a white preacher comes and gives them a cause - namely, fighting technology. So, let's recap: when the Hammer falls and ends civilization, white farmers, politicians, and engineers start rebuilding a stable community, while black people turn into rampaging cannibals taking orders from a white guy. Umm, did nobody see any Unfortunate Implications in this even in 1977? I suppose Niven and Pournelle's defense would be that not all of the New Brotherhood Army is black, and there is a black astronaut who's one of the good guys, and a few black farmers in the Stronghold are mentioned. Well, okay then.
There's also an awful lot of "neener-neener, how do you granola-crunching hippies like your 'natural living' now?" as the survivors of a former commune realize that gosh, they really did like having electricity and plumbing. Niven and Pournelle do this a lot, as in "Fallen Angels," where they spend the entire book poking at environmentalists and anti-space and anti-nuclear activists. In "Lucifer's Hammer," the only surviving nuclear power plant becomes potentially the salvation of civilization.
So, basically:
White people, nuclear power, and the space program = good.
Black people, religion, and women's lib: Bad.
I am being a little snarky here. The authors weren't quite as horribly axe-grinding as, say, certain authors of political thrillers or grimdark fantasy. But still, this is a book that you will enjoy if you like the premise and don't pay much attention to subtext, but will probably annoy you if you do notice things like ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE BECOME CANNIBALS!
Entertaining, suspenseful, a very good post-apocalyptic thriller for hard SF fans, and also slightly sexist and really (if unintentionally) racist.

Gun used to shoot officer was purchased in parking lot, complaint says
The handgun used to shoot a Milwaukee police officer was purchased in a gas station parking lot by the suspect's live-in girlfriend, according to a criminal complaint.
Madeline Crespo-Marchena, 26, is charged with keeping a drug house and being a party to the possession of a gun by a felon, according to the complaint issued late Friday.
Crespo-Marchena is the girlfriend of Louis M. Domenech, 45, a nine-time felon on federal probation. He is charged with trying to kill Officer Vidal Colón in a close-range shootout April 11.
Crespo-Marchena told detectives she bought the Hi-Point 9mm handgun out of a man's trunk a month ago and she let Domenech take it, even though she knew he is a felon, according to the complaint.
It was not the first gun-related incident involving the couple, who began living together in February.
According to a police report, Crespo-Marchena was arrested Feb. 17 after a shotgun was fired from inside the apartment the couple shared in the 2400 block of N. Buffum St.
The blast blew out two windows of a school bus with a driver but no students on board. No one was injured.
Crespo-Marchena told officers she found the shotgun wrapped in a cloth on a trash can about 9 a.m., the report says.
The mother of three young children said she brought the shotgun into the house because it was cold outside and unwrapped it, and the gun fired by accident, it says. Her children were in class at Oliver Wendell Holmes Elementary School across the street.
Crespo-Marchena told officers she had never owned or handled a gun before, the report says.
Domenech said he was in the basement when the shotgun was fired and knew nothing about the gun, according to the report. He was not arrested.
Crespo-Marchena was arrested on suspicion of reckless use of a gun. Assistant District Attorney David Stegall declined to prosecute, saying there was no witness to say it wasn't an accident. But that case is again under review, Assistant District Attorney Step Nolten said.
Crespo-Marchena was arrested on the drug house and gun charges April 12 - a day after Domenech allegedly opened fire on Colón from 7 feet away.
Colón, 30, suffered three gunshot wounds but is recovering at home. Domenech also was shot and remains hospitalized. He is expected to survive.
Detectives showed Crespo-Marchena a picture of the gun found at the scene where Colón was shot and she said it was hers, the complaint says.
Crespo-Marchena said she bought the handgun in a parking lot at N. 4th St. and W. North Ave. and kept it in a safe in the apartment, the complaint says.
Crespo-Marchena said she knew Domenech was a felon who could not have a gun, yet she let him take it to work on weekends, it says.
Detectives found about 6 ounces of marijuana in the apartment the couple shared, it says. Crespo-Marchena said it belonged to Domenech and she knew for three weeks that he was dealing, it says.
Domenech is charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, possession of a gun by a felon and two drug counts. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Crespo-Marchena, who has no criminal convictions, faces up to 13 1/2 years in prison if convicted. She made her first court appearance Saturday. Her preliminary hearing is Friday.

A low brass instrument also referred to as a baritone. Comes from the word euphonic, meaning good sound. The single most awesome instrument in the world, if not simply for the name. Most people don't know what it is and ask in their peasantish ignorance. These people should be smacked.

n. a large 3- or 4-valved brass instrument resembling a small tuba; it is similar to the baritone horn but, while the baritone has a cylindrical (straight) bore, the euphonium has a conical (grows larger as it progresses towards the bell) bore, warming up the sound
The euphonium has a dark, rich sound--except when too much garbage has been dropped down the bell.
додав Civil Twilight 646 21 Липня 2003
Mosty definitely the most admired instrument in the band. The euphonium is a precious part of the symphonic band, as is the baritone to the marching band, because it provides a rich, dark sound to sustain the bottom of the band. This is the sounds that all other band members envy. These instruments, with the assistance of the rest of the low brass, give the band the edge needed to win superiors. Plain and simple, euphoniums rule!
"Wow! Did you hear that Euphonium solo? It was spectacular!"

Austrian firms Vela Laboratories and Anagnostics Bioanalysis are teaming up to offer Anagnostics' hybcell DNA and protein microarray technology to the pharma and biotech industries for applications in clinical diagnostics and drug development.
Anagnostics claims the hybcell platform is the world's first microarray technology based on the use of cylinders rather than slides. The platform combines DNA- or protein-based hybcell tests for drug development and clinical diagnostic applications with the fully automated, hyborg instrument that carries out all hybcell test processing, from hybridization to liquid exchange, cycling, and scanning.
The partnership between Vela and Anagnostics will initially offer the hybcell technology for use in companion diagnostics in clinical studies, and also position the technology as an alternative to surface plasmon resonance methods used in affinity and immunogenicity drug testing applications.
The firms' deal follows on from yesterday's announcement by Anagnostics that it had signed up Danish firm Ramcon as distributor for its hybcell tests in the Nordic countries. Ramcon will market and distribute Anagnostics' existing hybcell DoA urine and hybcell DoA saliva drug screening tests, and its hybcell Oncogenesis Tissues pharmacogenomic tests.
Vela is GMP-certified contract laboratory specialized in offering analytical protein characterization services for protein-based biopharmaceuticals and biosimilars. The firm's expertise spans a full range of bioanalytics services for drug development and preclinical/clinical trials.

President Obama's election and inauguration, and their phenomenal public celebration, allowed us to experience ourselves in a healthy, public, live community of strangers. It also demonstrated the fusion of the personal and the political, in public. Amidst prominent businesses disappearing from the city landscape (no more Circuit City, no more Virgin Megastore); new residential buildings holding "Open Houses" indefinitely; U-Haul trucks diligently lining up our city blocks like delivery trucks; and pseudo-public communities, as on Facebook, substituting face-to-face encounters; such live, electrified, and electrifying gatherings prove that we are indeed hungry for public life; that we indeed thrive in crowds. Can such public celebratory events and the crowds that they draw help reinvent the city dweller, public life, public space, private space, and the city itself? Are public spaces having a revival right now because they are free? And if so, to what end? As in previous years, please send your proposals about these and related issues to the Urban Culture Area. Historical or ethnographic studies of public sites and events, poetic accounts of personal geographies through cities, and explorations of highly orchestrated or surprisingly improvised events in designated areas in the city are welcome, as are studies of crowds and public celebrations. If interested in participating in a workshop on "writing the urban," in addition to presenting a paper, please, indicate so.
Please, send your 1-page paper abstracts and 1-paragraph recent bios as virus-free, Word attachments to Blagovesta Momchedjikova, firstname.lastname@example.com, by June 30th, 2009. Check: http://www.mapaca.net/confer/conferHome.html

A few days ago the providers also said something similar. That she was very upset and couldn't settle down after the milk was gone. But other days she is content with the one in the morning and one in the afternoon with me nursing halfway through the day.
Should I be sending more milk? She currently has two bottles from frozen stuff back in June that I prep for them to use. 1 in the AM and 1 in the PM. Then a bag of fresh pumped just in case. They haven't had to use it yet so it hasn't been an issue. (each bottle is 4 ounces)
Do you think LO is growing again? They try all kinds of stuff to settle her down before giving her the bottle. They even go walk around outside and wear her in a bjorn. Should I be sending two fresh bottles and only have frozen as backup instead? Thanks for your help!

Skip to comments.Israel to Give Obama 12 Hours Notice on Attacking Iran
Posted on 01/22/2012 4:43:53 AM PST by Bobalu
Israeli officials told visiting USS Chief Joint of Staffs Martin Dempsey that it would give President Barack Obama no more than 12 hours notice if and when it attacks Iran, The London Times reported Sunday.
The Netanyahu government also will not coordinate with the United States an attack on the Islamic Republic, according to the report, the latest in a number of suposed scenarios concerning cooperation or lack of it between Jerusalem and Washington.
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
I hope they mean 12 hours after the attack, not before.
Actually, the Israelis will do whatever is in their interests...but, ha ha ..this statement puts Obammy as "cooperating " with Israell..hee hee.
that might be a little difficult since all our troops have been pulled out, right?
Just so he can warn the Iranians?!?!? Nutz...
I don't believe a word in the article. Bibi isn't stupid enough to say this aloud, nor is his government. If Israel attacks Iran, there will be no more than a wink wink. Washington will respond with a nod nod. No more.
Iran Will know about it 11 hours and 59 minutes before hand. I honestly believe that. I am not kidding.
America can't trust the Traitor In Chief, how could anyone expect Israel to trust him?
This is not Gog and Magog. This is the Psalms 83 war. Check that out. It comes before Gog and Magog. How much no one knows, but Psalms 83 is believed to be the prelude to Gog.
If an Israeli attack is launched, it is possible it will not originate in Israel. Time between launch and impact could be way less than what is expected.
That is 18 hours too much warning. Tell him long after it is finished. It takes no time to pass the info on to the rest of his muslim brethren.
Strap Michael Moore to the first ground penetrator they drop. His high pitched screeching as the weapon descends is all the warning they need.
Inept? You think BHO is INEPT??? Better take a look at the pics in post 47.
I agree with you about our military deserving to know, but just because BHO knows doesn't mean he'd share that knowledge with the military (which he so obviously disdains) in a timely fashion.
Sounds like a plan.
Obama to give Iran eleven hours and fifty-two minutes notice before Israel attacks.
I have and the ones that preceeded this one. Yes, today's headlines. Enjoy his work.
Will the Jews ever learn not to trust any antisemite?
It does say, "No More", not No Less.
With billions in aide, equipment, joint exercises, and joint testing that has occurred over many decades...regardless of how inept the president is...
I think our military has the right to know about potential WWIII earlier than 12 hours.
I agree ... but I think the MILITARY will be given a wink and a nod a little earlier. Enough to let them know what's up, but not enough to make it so plain that the US military could be held responsible for telling the White House. Israel knows who it's friends are. And none of them are sitting in the White House. But the military is probably a different matter.
Tell him after the fact. He'd be on the horn with his muslim brothers 5 seconds after he hangs up with Bibi
> If such a warning is given to Obama it will be on the
> front page New York Times and announced on MSNBC
> almost immediately.
So the secret would remain pretty safe. :D
The sh*tite mullahs and that little lemur, INHO, have had their last warning. 0bammy can read it in the newspapers..
If there is anybody that hasn't figured that out by now, they must be brain dead. By that measure, most Americans are beyond brain dead.

We reported that Roy Frumkes (Document of the Dead, Street Trash) owned the rights to Arthur Crabtree's 1958 creature feature Fiend Without a Face way back in 2010. Finally an update on it and more has come.
"I've wanted to do this film for 40 years, so I already had it all in my head, and it wasn't hard to write. What I didn't have was the technical information; I'm no science buff. Now I'm interviewing scientists, getting the technology straight," Frumkes tells Fango. "It's set in a think tank in the Berkshires, and it's not about young people. It's a mature film, but it has a Street Trash sensibility, so the people who like my work will not be disappointed."
The site also scored a still from a fund-raising trailer Frumkes shot for his Fiend flick with director Franco Frassetti, which features Ursula Anderman tussling with the still invisible Fiend.
Original Film Synopsis
A scientist's thoughts materialize as an army of invisible brain-shaped monsters (complete with spinal-cord tails!) who terrorize an American military base in this nightmarish chiller, directed by Arthur Crabtree (Horrors of the Black Museum). This outstanding sci-fi/horror hybrid is a special effects bonanza and a high-water mark in British genre filmmaking.

Let us help you figure out the details with the assistance of our moving pros! If you're looking for a change in scenery, North American will be glad to help you arrive in the locale that is unmatched in many more ways than one. The South Atlantic state of Virginia is comprised of a number of historical and modern features that make it one of the more interesting states of the eastern coast of the United States. Virginia features a larger then usual population, with well over eight million residents calling the "Mother of States" their home. While the capital city of Virginia is that of Richmond, the majority of Virginia's residents reside in Virginia Beach-- this and the Washington metropolitan area combine to account for the majority of the state's population. Virginia is renowned for the state's long standing inclusion of the Virginia General Assembly as its internal law making body. A historical law making coalition that continues in the modern day to abide by a number of uniquely formulated and enacted protocols in dealing with laws among its cities, counties, and term limits for state officials that generally do not exist anywhere else in the United States. Does your career need a boost? As far as Virginia's economy goes, the modern climate tends to be one that largely revolves around computer technology and similar exports—interesting to note due in part to the fact that Virginia effectively remained a primarily agricultural economy up until the 1970s –generally not an easy economic transition to make in such a short period of time. While Virginia Beach accounts for a great deal of economic contributions and population count, the cities of Arlington, Norfolk, and Chesapeake also maintain comparable populations and their own significant contributions to the nation's gross domestic product as a whole.

Residential basement insulation levels should be selected in accordance with the International Energy Conservation Code, or the local energy code. Be sure to insulate both the masonry and stud walls of daylight basements.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory analyzed the relationship between the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index and the traditional simulation-based Performance Path used in the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The analysis evaluates, for a single-family residence with various characteristics, the ranges of HERS Index values that would imply compliance with the 2012 IECC Performance Path. Several building characteristics considered likely to result in quantifiable differences in the outcomes of the two approaches, or otherwise believed to be of interest to code developers and policy makers, are considered in the analysis.
This document lays out the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) methodology for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of energy code and standard proposals and editions. The evaluation is applied to new provisions or editions of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 and the International Energy Conservation Code. The methodology follows standard life-cycle cost (LCC) economic analysis procedures. Cost-effectiveness evaluation requires three steps: 1) evaluating the energy and energy cost savings of code changes, 2) evaluating the incremental and replacement costs related to the changes, and 3) determining the cost-effectiveness of energy code changes based on those costs and savings over time.
This document was originally published in January, 2015. Revision 1 was published in August, 2015, and is available at: commercial_methodology.pdf.
The Building Codes Division, part of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, enforces the building code to protect the public and prevent unsafe construction work. Oregon has one statewide building code providing a uniform, consistent and predictable process for Oregon's construction industry, the public, and state and local government.
Oregon's building code is applicable in all cities and counties and is enforced locally across the state. The Division provides code enforcement in areas of the state where the local jurisdiction does not.
This document contains sample survey questions designed for use by states wishing to conduct a survey of their building jurisdictions as one method of better understanding energy code compliance rates in their state.

This study, sponsored by Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was designed to answer a very important question in myeloma: In the era of novel drugs, is high-dose therapy (HDT) still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients? In this study, the addition of HDT to conventional dose treatment (RVD) as compared to conventional-dose treatment (RVD) alone would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs progression-free survival by at least 9 months.
Dr. Brian Durie discussed the randomized phase 3 SWOGG S0777 trial that investigated the addition of bortezomib to lenalidomide and dexamethasone for previously untreated multiple myeloma patients without an intend for immediate autologous stem cell transplant.

Hi, my name is Mary Gildersleeve. I began designing shortly after teaching myself to knit at the age of 8, primarily because I do not take commands very well and I also could not afford the fancy yarns back then. Knitting and designing were my constant activities throughout undergrad, grad school and family life until, in 1997, I finally went professional and established By Hand, With Heart ... traditional hand-knit designs with a modern twist. I now create designs for various knitwear outlets (including published designs in Knitters, INKnitters, Cast On), custom knit original designs, and self-publish my own patterns . I maintain a website (www.marygildersleeve.com) where I discuss my work, my findsÃâà(reviewing books and supplies) and suggestions for teaching everyone this age-old art. I particularly love teaching all aspects of knitting ... from beginner to expert, from learning to read charts to designing your own. On most Saturdays, you can find me working at my LYS, Dog House Yarns in Culpeper. I am the exclusive designer for the cashmere-farm, Spring Gate Farm, located in Barboursville, VA.
I earned an MBA from the College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, VA) in 1988 and a BA in Print Journalism from Gonzaga University (Spokane, Washington) in 1983. I continue with my knitting education by attending seminars, voraciously reading all knitting books, magazines, and websites, and constantly honing my practical knitting skills. I was an active member of the Association of Knitwear Designers (which shut down, unfortunately).
I am married, have 5 children (10 to 23 yrs) and keep busy homeschooling, working on the computer, writing articles, and knitting, knitting, knitting in rural Virginia. In 2008, a book I wrote was published "Great Yarns for the Close-Knit Family: over two dozen hand-knit designs inspired by a dozen fantastic family read-alouds"; a year later, another book I wrote hit the bookstores, "In His Image: Nurturing Creativity in the Heart of Your Home" (both are available on Amazon and other book outlets)..
Knit side to side and then picked-up stitches to work the simple diamond lace pattern, this asymmetrical shawlette is a fun knit and VERY doable by any knitter (with a bit of experience).
The body of the shawl alternates garter-stitch stripes while increasing on the bottom edge and then decreasing for the opposite end. This creates an asymmetrical triangle with a long, slender end and a wider oppposite.
The lace edge is an easy garter-stitch based motif with yo's and ssk/k2tog to create a sweet diamond edge. The Diamond Edging is charted and written out line by line.
The shawlette can be worn multiple ways ... adding to the overall fun of the design.
The design needs approx 250 yards MC; 150 yards CC (I used just shy of a full skein of Spring Gate's Cashmere/Bamboo blend for the CC).
16sts x 32 rows = 4" in garter-stitch, worked flat and blocked

CNN is reporting that an attorney for the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office says that an anonymous e-mail claiming someone confessed to killing Kendrick Johnson is not credible according to Sheriff's officials.
In the January 2014 email, the sender claims a former schoolmate confessed to killing Johnson, but the sender doesn't say that he or she witnessed the confession.
The attorney didn't say why or how investigators determined the tip wasn't credible.
Johnson's body was found in a rolled-up mat in the Lowndes high school gymnasium last year.
Investigators ruled his death accidental, but an independent pathologist called it a homicide.

CHICAGO -- You can't compare the injuries, and you shouldn't compare the men. But Derrick Rose has a drive to compete and a passion for basketball that even Michael Jordan admits is not unlike his own.
When Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said he plans to be conservative with Rose in his return to the court after rehab from his torn ACL, as he did this weekend in an interview with ESPN 1000, you can imagine Rose enduring some of the same frustrations that Jordan once experienced.
"I was a player," Jordan said Monday. "I wanted to play."
Those are telling words, spoken with a still-detectable trace of frustration some 27 years after a broken foot kept Jordan out of the Bulls' lineup for 64 games of the 1985-86 season.
Jordan was a player, and he wanted to play. Reinsdorf was and still is the boss and had the bigger picture in mind.
The frustration was understandable given that Jordan was a 23-year-old kid in his second year in the league, that his broken foot had been rested sufficiently enough that then-team doctor James Hefferon told him he could play and that he already had begun practicing two hours a day.
Jordan was convinced, and still is, that the decision to hold him out and then limit his minutes was based more on the Bulls trying to improve their position in the draft than not wanting to take any chances with their franchise player.
"I didn't feel good being part of that," Jordan said. "I felt I was an all-out player who didn't half-ass anything, and they wanted to move up [in the draft]."
Rose's situation is different. The torn ACL in his left knee required surgery and was considerably more serious than Jordan's injury. But how much input should a franchise player be given in the decision to return to the court? That issue is very much the same in both cases, and Reinsdorf said he has learned his lesson.
Reinsdorf told ESPN 1000 and has repeated on many occasions that he made a mistake with Jordan. Even though Hefferon initially said Jordan was OK, two other doctors advised him to be conservative. Reinsdorf instinctively wanted to sit Jordan and could barely watch as he scored a record 63 points in a losing playoff effort to Boston that season.
The conversation he had with Jordan at the time has been recalled humorously by both Reinsdorf and Jordan over the years and was repeated again by Jordan on Monday.
"I sat down with Jerry, and he told me what his thoughts were, and I told him what I was thinking," Jordan said. "We got into a little debate about me getting hurt, and he said doctors told him there was a 10 percent chance I could get hurt again, and I said there was a 90 percent chance I wouldn't.
"So then he used the scenario, 'OK, what if you had 10 -- he said Tylenol -- pills in front of you and I coated one with cyanide. Would you take the chance of taking two?' And I answered, 'It depends how big my headache is.'"
Reinsdorf still laughs at the story; it is just one reason he always got along well with Jordan. But the Bulls chairman has second-guessed himself ever since for giving in. Two weeks later, when Jordan dropped a still-standing playoff record 63 against the Larry Bird-led Celtics in a 19-point Game 1 playoff loss, Reinsdorf would not discount the theory that part of the feat could have been a result of Jordan trying to get in the last word.
"The biggest part of Michael's greatness was his will to win and to prove himself, and I'm sure that was part of it. ... We got lucky that everything worked out, but the risk was crazy," Reinsdorf said in 2011. "He shouldn't have played at all the rest of that season."
Should Rose play at all next season? His doctors said there is some usefulness in allowing him to test the knee at some point, in small doses. Rose will no doubt be a star student in his rehab and will be itching to get back. Depending on the Bulls' playoff outlook, maybe he tries to talk Bulls management into letting him play reasonably normal minutes.
They've been through this before. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was criticized for playing Rose in the late stages of one-sided games and for giving him too many minutes while he was recovering from various injuries. Rose, like Jordan in his prime, always wants to play.
None of those cases involved a potential career-ending situation. Theoretically, this is. Regardless of what Rose and Thibodeau tell him, Reinsdorf would be well-advised to be conservative.
In Jordan's case, then-Bulls coach Stan Albeck was ordered to keep Jordan's playing time to no more than seven minutes per half when the second-year player returned with eight games remaining in the season.
"Stan played me over 14 minutes when we were going for a playoff berth, and he was threatened after the game not to do it again," Jordan said. "Then we played Indiana, and he sat me down for the last 50 seconds because of what happened the game before, and John Paxson hit the game-winner."
Jordan, who had the option of getting a bone graft -- but never needed to -- was persuasive in his argument to come back when he did.
"I could have gone the whole summer without testing it and then break it again and miss the whole next season," Jordan said. "I thought, if I [injure] it now, at least I have the summer to be able to rehab and do what I need to do and be ready for next season. That was my thought process."
Persuasive, yes. Completely logical? Probably not.
The Bulls were swept in the playoffs, and Jordan was fine. He still contends that only a player knows his body and that if Rose were his player, he would listen a little more intently.
"Granted, I know the business now [as majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats], and you have to be somewhat conservative for the long-term, but you still have to take into consideration the player, how he responds to pain, what kind of guy he is," Jordan said. "That's the difference between Jerry and myself. I've been there, done that, experienced that. And if I know a player well enough, I'm going to understand where he's coming from."
It's a perspective any player would love -- unless it ends up backfiring.
