Win 7 64 bit.
Been using Iron Version 22.0.1250.0 (160000) for some time and decided to 'upgrade' to latest stable version. Did so and many bugs appeared. Thumbnail views on YouTube not visible, avatars not visible and when clicking the 'show more' comments it is unresponsive. Also, Favicons on the bookmark toolbar are gone and only the default icon will appear (even after clicking on it). Did a SysRestore back to Version 22.0.1250.0 and get the message "Your profile cannot be used because it is from a newer version of Iron.........." Because of this I still have the same bugs as with the latest version. Ideas?

- An amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on immobilization of horseradish peroxidase on an electrode modified with magnetic dextran microspheres
- Author(s)
- Zhang, Hai-Li; Lai, Guo-Song; Han, De-Yan; Yu, Ai-Min
- Abstract
- A new kind of magnetic dextran microsphere (MDMS) with uniform shape and narrow diameter distribution has been prepared from magnetic iron nanoparticles and dextran. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was successfully immobilized on the surface of an MDMS-modified glassy-carbon electrode (GCE), and the immobilized HRP displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity in the reduction of H2O2 in the presence of the mediator hydroquinone (HQ). The effects of experimental variables such as the concentration of HQ, solution pH, and the working potential were investigated for optimum analytical performance. This biosensor had a fast response to H2O2 of less than 10 s and an excellent linear relationship was obtained in the concentration range 0.20 mu mol L-1 -0.68 mmol L-1, with a detection limit of 0.078 mu mol L-1 (S/N = 3) under the optimum conditions. The response showed Michaelis-Menten behavior at larger H2O2 concentrations, and the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant K-M(app) was estimated to be 1.38 mmol L-1. Moreover, the selectivity, stability, and reproducibility of the biosensor were evaluated, with satisfactory results.

The head of the University of Wisconsin System said the governor's proposed budget could help lead to the lowest tuition increases in a decade.
Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget calls for more than $181 million in new funding. Speaking to the Legislature's budget committee Thursday, UW System President Kevin Reilly said the proposed level of funding would help keep education affordable and prepare more students for high-skill jobs.
Reilly said $153 million of the total is already committed to expenses such as leases, utilities and costs associated with previously approved construction and renovation projects.
A handful of people attended the budget committee's meeting wearing red T-shirts that read, "Cap Tuition at UW." Walker's budget would lift a tuition cap that currently limits tuition hikes to 5.5 percent, and students have called on legislators to renew the cap.

|Title: Cattle From Australia; Exempt From Tuberculosis Testing Requirement
|Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the regulations regarding the importation of cattle to exempt cattle imported from Australia from testing for bovine tuberculosis prior to their export to the United States. We have determined that cattle imported from Australia present a negligible risk of introducing bovine tuberculosis into the United States. This action would relieve certain testing requirements for cattle imported from Australia while continuing to protect against the introduction of communicable diseases of cattle into the United States.

I just got the utility bill for this month and guess what? My water bill increased by $4.50 from last month. Now we are on the cuff for an extra fee for park, fire and waste administration. The only problem is that all these additional fees are already covered by our city taxes.
On Oct. 17, 2012, in the Bee Picayune, the City of Beeville advertised a City Meeting for Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. at the council chambers to consider rate and fee increases. During the meeting, the council went into executive session to discuss the rate and fee increases. So how can this be okay if the public was not involved? Where is the transparency of our local government?
The City Council and administration ends up costing the residents and taxpayers of the county more money every time they go into executive session without an explanation of the cost of the items discussed behind close doors.
So, I am assuming that all these increases on rates and fees are due to the fact that City Hall has more employees to help the current employees already working there. Example: the city manager has an assistant and a consultant that has no interest in Beeville to consult the city manager. A deputy city secretary for the city secretary and a secretary for both the city secretary and city deputy secretary, plus the retired city secretary as a consultant for civil services and to advise the city secretary on the back log that was left behind. Now, City Hall needs two city inspectors to inspect all construction projects.
I do not have all the solutions, but I believe we need to eliminate or restructure the City Hall staffing.

Utu announces his run for governor's post in 2012
Utu Abe Malae officially announced via teleconference to a group of his supporters on Monday night Aug. 15, 2011 that he will run for Governor in the 2012 gubernatorial election.
The long-awaited announcement was welcomed by the group of 30 past and new supporters that have long awaited his decision.
Teleconferencing from the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands where he currently serves as the Executive Director of the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC), Utu told his supporters that after consultation with the Governor of CNMI, Governor Benigno Fitial gave his full support for Utu to run for Governor of American Samoa in 2012.
Utu is expected to officially leave his CEO position in early 2012, to return home to American Samoa to concentrate on his gubernatorial campaign.
In a recent interview with Utu, after his announcement, Utu stated: "I want to thank all my family, friends, our traditional leaders, church leaders and our people near and far who have encouraged me and asked me to run for Governor. I am inspired to run for Governor because of your support and faith in me, but also I am inspired to run because I want to be your Governor to help our people. I want to make a difference to ensure that the security of our children and our families' future is not compromised anymore. I will do the right thing and serve in the best interest of all our people and not just a select few."
(Samoa News understands Utu is not ready to announce who his lieutenant governor will be on the gubernatorial ticket.)
Reflecting on his previous run for governor in 2008, he said, "In 2008, I ran because I felt a strong duty to help our people. Since then, I have come to realize and appreciate more than ever the need for honest and effective leadership for our government."
Utu commented on the current economic climate in the territory saying, "the federal government is making significant cuts on future spending, we remain a high-risk territory, the average family is finding it very difficult to keep up with the rising costs of living, businesses are hurting and many people are looking for jobs."
He said, "I will work to provide excellent government services for all our people, to provide leadership that our people and the federal government will trust, to provide fair compensation and benefits for all our government employees and to create a supportive environment for new and continuing businesses to grow and create more jobs. Our territory needs a proven and effective manager as Governor to fix the various problems in our government."
Utu continued, "Our government needs to be a responsible, transparent and accountable steward of the resources of our territory. We are at a critical point in our relationship with the federal government as they have been scrutinizing our territory's failure to effectively manage federal funding opportunities. We need to put a leadership team in ASG that can win back the confidence of the federal government in our ability to properly use federal funds."
Samoa News asked about Utu's work in CMNI and why he took the position, leaving his senate seat for Sa'ole county in the Fono. Many residents have noted Utu's leaving and not staying to help the territory, especially in these trying times.
Utu explained that in 2009, while he was Senator for Sa'ole county in the Fono, the government of CNMI asked him to come to the CNMI to help turn around its failing utilities corporation (CUC) that had been placed under a consent decree by the federal court and government. Knowing that he could help and feeling great compassion for the people of the CNMI who were suffering from irregular utility services and environmental damage, he made the difficult decision to accept the calling from the CNMI government to help the recovery and rebuilding of the CUC utility.
(Utu's 2012 Election Committee told Samoa News that their candidate's 'well-known' reputation as a manager is based on his previous experience in successfully turning ASPA around from chronic power outages and insolvency in 1986 where he managed ASPA for 18 years even while seconded to other organizations.)
Before making the final decision to work in CNMI, Utu said that in late 2009 he met with his village of Amouli and Sa'ole county to ask for their blessing to make his formal withdrawal as the Sa'ole county's Senator in order to help the people of the CNMI.
Because it was still Amouli's term to hold the Senate seat, HTC of Amouli Fuata Dr. I'atala was chosen to be the next Senator from Sa'ole. Utu then formally gave his farewell to the Sa'ole county and Senate as well and received the village and county chiefs' blessings on his move to help the people of the CNMI.
Utu started as the Assistant Executive Director of Operations for the CUC (in charge of all the technical side of the utility). After the then Executive Director's retirement, the job of Executive Director was prescribed by the USEPA and was advertised nationally; a final three were selected, which included Utu, and they were vetted by EPA and CUC for the position. Governor Fitial selected Utu in November 2010 as the new utilities CEO.
Prior to serving as the Senator from Sa'ole in the Fono, the team of Utu and former House Speaker Nua Saoluaga ran and came in second in the gubernatorial run-off election in 2008.
Utu Abe Malae has served in the cabinet of every elected Governor of American Samoa: Gov. Uifaatali Coleman, Gov. A.P. Lutali, Gov. Tauese Sunia and Gov. Togiola Tulafono.
While CEO of the American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) Utu was seconded to also serve as Department of Public Works Director, 1986, 1995; LBJ Hospital CEO in 1995 - 1997; Department of Port Administration Director in 1999 - 2002, and spent 18 years as ASPA's chief executive from 1986 to 2004.
In 2004 – 2008 he was appointed by Togiola to be the President of the Development Bank of American Samoa (DBAS).
Utu is the High Chief of Amouli village and keeps his official residence in Petesa, Tafuna.
He is the son of the late Reverend Toea'ina Pita Malae (from Ofu and Manua) and Tina Fiapa'ipa'i Utu Malae (from Amouli, Asili and Moataa). Utu has 11 siblings. His mother Tina Fesilafa'i Lutu Malae resides at the family home in Honolulu.
Utu holds three Masters degrees and is a former teacher at the local DOE.
He has committed his life and professional career to serving the people and Government of American Samoa and to serving his community in various capacities.
Utu is a deacon of the Amouli EFKAS, a Rotarian and served on the ASCC Board of Higher Education, PiCED and the Malaeimi Manumalo Baptist School Board. He plays the flute and is an avid reader.

Wallabies five-eighth Kurtley Beale says a stint in rugby league might be in his future following a cross-code training session with NRL premiers Melbourne.
The Rebels Super Rugby star hit the training paddock for the first time since Australia's tour of the UK and Europe late last year and he sweated it out in a two-hour session with the Storm.
The Storm are renowned for their tortuous pre-season campaigns but the Rebels were able to keep the pace.

Rebels and Wallaby halfback Nick Phipps was one who never let his Storm opposite Cooper Cronk get the better of him.
Admitting he was a huge league fan, Beale said he wanted to try his hand in the 13-man game.
"It's always lingering in the back of my mind," the 24-year-old said.
"I'm a massive fan of rugby league and I played it all my junior career and I'm always switching channels to watch it on the weekend.
"Hopefully later on, in the years to come, I will be able to put my hand up and have a crack at it."

Designing for DIY Moms - Paintings for Home Decoration
Story Updated: Jan 23, 2013
Home decoration is a pretty important aspect when it comes to designing homes. Usually we see that women of the household are the ones who are making great efforts to decorate their homes in the best of ways. If you seek it or leave there is a huge difference between the homes that have had women in them and homes that were run by bachelors. This difference can be encountered due to the lack of decorations and beautiful decals. If you are a woman and are buying a new home then you surely need some designing ideas for your home decorations. There is no other best way to know of different ideas than designing for DIY Moms. Here are some of the following great home decoration ideas that you can easily follow without incurring too much cost.
The first idea is to fill up your empty walls with beautiful paintings. That trend nowadays is to have colorful walls in the shades of pink, blue, red, orange etc. If you decorate these beautiful walls with amazing paintings that you can create are at home then your house would look extremely lively. This idea for designing for DIY moms is very popular. We received so many reviews which were very positive from many women all around the world who have employed this decoration idea and were able to inspire their living. The idea is to decorate your walls with contrasting colorful paintings. For example if you have a red wall in your lounge area then you can go for a painting that has colors such as Blue, white and yellow. The contrast of these colors will look amazing and will give you a satisfied feeling whenever you will have a look at your wall. Try this idea and we are sure that you will be very happy with it.
The second idea is to decorate your home with beautiful pottery that is actually hand painted and then has a setting off glass on top. These amazing pieces may sound difficult to make but actually they are very easy to do so. All you have to do is buy three different sizes of decorative pots from a shop along with several paints and brushes for this particular designing for DIY Moms. You can paint the pots according to the color scheme that you like. When these pots are drying you can sprinkle some of the salt or beads which come in different colors, to add in more effect. These colorful beaded pots will then from the base of your table. Then all you have to do is select out a round size of glass and set it on top of the pot. This will become a whole new table for you, which is actually hand-made and very cost effective. You can use these tables as coffee tables or telephone tables. These tables can also be set in the corner of your lounge and have further decorations set on top.

I obviously want a healthy choice, are there certain ingredients besides nuts that I should avoid until he is older. Also what about flax, when can I introduce it?

Kiya's not gonna like this.
Do This
Then That
It's time folks, as much as I don't want to think about it...this is our last hope at anything. He's the only coach to get him to a Conference Finals. The only coach to get him to play any real resemblance of TEAM basketball. He's available and I also think he can maximize this roster to whatever potential it has. Melo needs to be mitigated and this is the only thing I can think of. I think he can handle the bench in New York for a few yrs.
Kiya's not gonna like this.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Karl dropped in 1st round 8 of 9 times in last 10 years.
Philly made a good hire with Brett Brown, I like Karl but what an abysmal playoff record. That new GM Hinkie took his time with the hire, so much time he was criticized for it but it seems to be a good hire. Knicks need to do the same and not hire based on who you know like it always seems they do.
Brett Brown while I do think he a fresh new hire.....he hasn't been tested nor proven in any measure. This has more to do with getting the most out of Melo... which no new up start coach will be capable of doing.
If Karl's playoff resume is so abysmal(which I do beg to differ to an extent...he's taken a team to the Finals and has appeared in 3 different Conference Finals or is he being handicapped to the Melo post Melo era?) why did we take on a player such as Melo in the first place. At least Karl is proven with or without Melo.
Bottomline if we aren't getting rid of Melo, then we need to bring in a coach who can break down some of Melo's walls. Karl has at least proven this more than anyone else.
Most overrated coach of all time. We'd win 60 regular season games and lose to a team much worse than us in the first round. I'd rather have either of the Van Gundy's
Couldn't agree more Rob......JVG/SVG or Phil......
JVG only how many ppl will trade MELO 4 Sprewell and H20
Coach Karl is a regular season HC, who have no creative-coaching skills in a postseason series ..
having Gary Payton & Kemp, or Cassel & Ray Allen, or Iverson/Melo/K-Mart/and Camby.
Its hard to vision a NBA HC able to take ISO-Melo antics to the FINALS.
Look at all the back-door plays we have when Melo is holding the ball .. Karl & Woodson never scream at Melo about that.
Trading Melo/Amare/and Woodson on the February trading deadline is our best option to visit the FINALS in 2014-15.
Can't wait to read comments praising Woody and putting him in the CoY race the moment the Knicks start winning. Woodson's RS record with the Knicks is .667. Why should we fire him? Because we failed in the playoffs? We are not a championship caliber team, our playoff disgrace is as much on Woodson as on every single player on that team. Or should we get rid of Woody because we lost 2 of our 3 first games of the season? Chicago and Brooklyn did too, are they going to fire Thibs and Kidd respectively? Jesus folks, have some trust in this coach and this team. Last year I expected that team to make it to the 2nd round. And they did. In my opinion: achievement unlocked. Now it's time to make a step further, I expect this crew to make it to the ECF or at least G7 of the 2nd round. We gotta improve every year, but championship is beyond our reach.
Phil said we're clumsy doesn't like the roster
SVG is the master of panic and a constant screamer
JVG is all about defense but someone who Dolan hates
Now ask yourself which one of those coaches would mesh with Melo? I don't want Karl based on his coaching abilities per say, although he's no worse than whose available outside of Phil, it was qualified based on the Melo factor.

Jax had Jordan and Bryant so i can tell him stop telling crap what he could win without both of them
thats why i love POP even when he was 1-4 vs Jax he got 4 title and just once unlucky lost finals
I like JVG and he criticisim about refs during games but anyway he was few times fined bout this which describes what NBA
really is all bout .
@3g4g MELO need 2nd regular scorer .
When u are watching Knicks Heat u can look @ MELO who he always talkin with
its Dwane both of them respect each other they r close friends not with James but with Dwayne
MELO need player like Dwayne with D and with passing.
The problem is not the coach. It's the players. One guy taking all of the shots and doesn't make anyone else better is not a recipe for a playoff run let alone a championship. 2nd best player is your point guard. That's a problem unless your Magic, Isiah or Chris Paul.
The play making pass first PG is all but dead. Felton would be great off of the bench if we had a more efficient PG. We need a guy that can put up 14 points and 9 or 10 assists.
Need a younger more athletic front court. Up and down the roster, Knicks need just about everything to improve. No one player will change things. We tried that with Melo and basically mortgaged our entire roster for a star and a dream. Look how that's working out for us.

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Thursday, April 2, 2009
A couple nights ago I was watching a very interesting documentary about the first plague that hit in the 14th or 15th Century wiping out close to half the population in the world. As I watched I tried to put myself in their place wondering what it must have been like. It sounds horrific. I was struck by this fact: new life came out of that period of time. The Renaissance Period followed this period of darkness and death. It was a good reminder that rebirth follows death. The word Renaissance comes from a french word meaning rebirth. I believe that psychological rebirth follows the psychological death experience. I just have to get there.
How do I do that? I think it means bearing the unbearable until something new arises whether that new thing is a new attitude, a new relationship with myself, acceptance, a sense of peace, who knows.
I don't know what's next. I do know that this is a very difficult reality to get used to but I'm convinced it's possible because others who have commented on my blog have said so. Right now I'm taking it on faith.
Treatment Updates:
I've been taking Amantadine since Saturday. This time my doctor prescribed liquid Amantadine because I can't swallow pills. He says Amantadine is not only an antiviral but also helps the brain produce dopamine and norepinephrine-both of which can become depleted in the brains of people with CFIDS. It's too soon to tell if it's helping.
I started back on D-ribose three times a day. I'm glad to report that I'm not feeling as much cramping in my muscles (especially the calves) and not as much muscle pain.
I've increased my potassium intake because my doctor thinks my potassium levels might be too low (causing muscle cramps). He wanted me to take prescription potassium. I picked it up at the pharmacy but the pharmacist didn't do a consult with me. I always crush my pills and my doctor knows this. For some reason I decided to look up the prescription on the Internet. I'm glad I did because the prescription was for extended release potassium. Had I crushed it and then swallowed the crushed powder I could easily have had a heart attack because it would have been too much potassium in the bloodstream. This is a good reminder for me to always look things up. I just can't count on doctors and pharmacists to provide the information.
I've been on the methylation protocol (simplified) for maybe eight months? I think it is helping a little. This is a very slow treatment to restore the methylation cycle. It can take a year or two for improvement though some people have had dramatic improvement in less than that time.
It's been two months, one week and three days on Valcyte. I think it might be helping a little but I won't know for sure until six months but in four might have an idea of how much it will help.
Sleep is challenging but I find that if I take 1mg of sublingual Melatonin, 300mg Gabapentin, 1mg Klonopin, and 20 drops of liquid doxepin that I can get at least 8 hours sleep but it's still a fitful sleep.
I have to figure out a way to deal with the isolation and loneliness of this. I woke up today feeling it acutely. I actually went out to get my blood draw a week early just to be around people. Then I went and picked up a prescription and sat in the parking lot and simply watched people.
There's just a lot to get used to.

I SO wish I didn't have this dang cold so that I could have come to have lunch with you today!! It hit full force last night - I am now at that hacking, sniffling stage, so it definitely would not have been good to expose you. But, it still sucks - I was really looking forward to seeing you today. I am SO glad you looked up the potassium medication before crushing it and taking it! I think, in addition to PhD, you have earned your MD and PharmD with all of this research you have done. Big hugs to you - I'll let you know when I get rid of this cold so we can reschedule our lunch, o.k.? Love you!!

Yes, I think you are right about acceptance. It's not linear. I'm not sure it's even circular. Try a spiral. That way, each time you go around you deepen your understanding.
Hang in there, it does get better.

I really like what you have said about the Renaissance Period that followed darkness and death.. I needed to hear this myself today with new medical condtions coming in to play for me, and a challenging and "dark" time for my husband and his ministry. Rebirth...renew.....born again...it is the definition of my name, and your thoughts expressed about and what you are learning on your own journey with CFIDS have wrapped around me today as a reminder of all things becoming new again.
Glad that things are working for you and you are seeing some daylight with the V. and other meds/supplements. I do like what Bruce Campbell says about needing to have acceptance with a fighting spirit. And I believe that like Jozephine said...it happens over and over again giving us a deeper understanding with each cycle.

What's it take to
a trendsetter?
Marcelo Burlon – the mind behind the internationally cool fashion line County of Milan – doesn't label himself by any of his interests. Since starting working in trendy clubs at the age of only 16, he's been the gate keeper to Milan's nightlife, a fashion designer, a DJ, a photographer, a blogger, among other things.
Each of these interests have allowed Burlon to keep an eye on trendy people in his city, where he can see inspiration for his next idea. As he watches the world around him, he is not studying what the trends are, but instead, he's watching the influences that people put into art, music and fashion. He then uses these elements to create something completely different - shaping a world of influences into the newest cool.

New Kind of Computer "Never Crashes"
Jason Mick
February 15, 2013 2:26 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
System could be useful for mission critical applications, such as combat robotics
Professor Peter Bentley
of the
University College of London
and his colleague
Christos Sakellariou
aren't impressed with most everyday computers, which aren't very fault tolerant and can only multitask by flipping their cores between various sequential instruction streams in a program.
He describes in
an interview
, "Even when it feels like your computer is running all your software at the same time, it is just pretending to do that, flicking its attention very quickly between each program. Nature isn't like that. Its processes are distributed, decentralised and probabilistic. And they are fault tolerant, able to heal themselves. A computer should be able to do that."
So the pair set out to make a new hardware and a new operating system, capable of handling tasks differently from most current machines, which even if "parallel" deal with instructions sequentially.
The new machine has instruction set pairs that tell what to do when a certain set of data is encountered. The instructions-data pairs are then sent to multiple "systems", which are chosen at random to produce results. Each system has its own redundant stack of instructions, so if one gets corrupted, others can finish up the work. And each system has its own memory and storage; so "crashes" due to memory/storage errors are eliminated.
Comments Prof. Bentley, "The pool of systems interact in parallel, and randomly, and the result of a computation simply emerges from those interactions."
The results will be presented at an April conference in Singapore.
The team is currently working on coding the machine so that it can reprogram its own instructions to respond to changes in the environment. That self-learning, combined with the redundant, pseudorandom nature of the system would make it quite a bit more
similar to a human brain
than a traditional computer.
Potential applications for such a system include military robotics, swarm robotics, and mission critical servers. For example, if an unmanned aerial vehicle sustained damage or was hacked, it might be able to reprogram itself and escape errors thanks to the redundancy, allowing it to fly home.
The computer is somewhat similar to
so-called "probabilistic" chip designs
, which are being researched at other universities.

Second ITD (InsidetheDodgers) Tour
Last year I included the story about Joe Pierre that Rhett Bollinger of MLB wrote in this post the Power of a Blog Joe was invited by the Dodgers to join the first ITD tour.
To the right is the cage where Kirk Gibson hit the most dramatic homerun in Dodger history. This image of Kirk Gibson pumping his fist along with Mel Didie's quote was added afterwards. Kirk Gibson was pleased when he saw it.
I am glad we ran into Manny Mota so that I could tell him what a wonderful job he and Pepe Yniguez are doing on the Spanish TV station. Thank you so much Manny for spending time with us. Muchisimas gracias Manny!
I am taking a picture of the mirror image. Look at the guy with Kershaw's number 22! I like how that came out. Number 22 by the way is the number I came in at in the latest MLB fan blog ranking! Thank you all that visit my humble blog!
Kuo going by as we were in the batting cage by the Dodger Bullpen

Well congrats on number 22 Emma, looks like you had fun again, thats what I like about you no matter you always seem to have fun…. I think the candid pic of Kuo going by is awesome, someone made him smile.. good luck against the Padres
Cool! Thanks for the virtual tour. You never fail in educating us on life inside the Dodgers. Well done! (And what a poor looking restroom… you would think with all that money involved…)
Happy belated Labor Day Jane.
I like that picture of Kuo. He sure is a hard worker. He goes thru so much to get his arm ready.
What money!!? Haven't you heard the latest in the Dodger divorce?
I have been trying to getthe Rays to let me be a Tour Guide since I know a few facts that the current Tuor Guides don't know about the history of the stadium site, plus the secret rooms that only a handful have ever ventured in around the stadium.
But having someone like that do a tour is special.
But it also shows he respects and admire that building by wanting other to see it through his own eyes.
Glad you got to take that special tour.
Rays Renegade
That must have been a blast! And actually, that bathroom is not half as bad as the bullpen bathroom at Citizens Bank Park. The one in Philly, you'd have to pay me to even walk into :O( Gross!
Congrats on you #22 Emma, great post and wonderful pictures.
Emma: Greast pics, Em! Lol love the one of Billingsley running…he's got some strong lookin' legs…
I know you would do a great job if you were to lead that tour. I still got to post the pictures from upstairs! It will come in the next post.
I was thinking afterwards that the Sue, the therapist that is in the dugout has to go somewhere else. I would not use that anyway. Like you, they would have to pay me to use it.
Thanks Bluedog! I should post some pics of Kershaw!
He sure got strong legs. That was the day after he pitched. In another Dodger forum I visit, they have nicknamed Billingsley "Thunder Thighs."

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
The way I see it, all of them failed. At least one of their members became bad guy. To me, Asuma was greatest sensei ever.

Even on the good guy level...Asuma prodigees (Shikamaru, Chouji and Ino: all chunins) can't come close to Gai's (a jounin level Neji, Lee and Ten Ten).
You fools are sleepin' on Tobirama. His subordinates have been running the show since his passing. His pupils have really been the backbone of the Leaf for a few generations. We just dont know as much about their stories.

Hiruzen Sarutobi:
Trained Jiraiya (who went on to become one of the most famous kage-level shinobis in the history of the Leaf), Orochimaru (another Kage level shinobi who had a massive negative influence throughout the series) and Tsunade (Godaime Hokage and founder of the standard medic-corps)
Minato (Yondaime Hokage and one of the most powerful shinobi to ever live), Naruto (The ever improving kage level-genin and one of the few shinobis to ever control tailed beast(s)), Nagato (Epic boss.

Namikaze Minato:
Kakashi (Konoha's finest and most intelligent jounin, a Commander of the Allied Shinobi force), Obito (arguably the single most powerful antagonist since Madara, pure boss and secret leader of Akatsuki) and Rin (well...she completed the team)
Hatake Kakashi:
Naruto (Konoha hero, one of the reasons why the shinobis declared the Fourth World War), Sasuke (One of the most formidable shinobis to ever come out from the Uchiha clan and the only Uchiha apart from Madara to activate Eternal Mangekyou), Sakura (Powerful shinobi)

Will the Beatles' Sons Really Form Their Own Band? [Videos of each]
This is a bad idea. What would they do? If they do original music, Sean Lennon bombed with his music, Dhani Harrison has only worked on his father's music, James McCartney has no track record with music, and Jason Starkey only played in Ringo's band maybe a couple of times and hasn't even made a name for himself, let alone public pictures.

I hope Eli does not feel too creepy crawly while he is sleeping under that quilt! The big bugs are a perfect frame for his ant farm. This is a very fun quilt! By the way, I read your book while I was on vacation recently. It was hard to put it down! The story was engaging and I loved the quilty references!

It's gorgeous!
I was thinking the other day that my first quilt, which is used and washed a lot, needs more quilting because the quilting is minimal and the whole thing looks a bit saggy!

I love this one, Riel, I love to mix black and white with bright colours! I actually have the ant fabric and the bug fabric, I collect black and whites. I am thinking of making my son a quilt using the bug fabric, he thought he had bedbugs this summer and freaked out! Luckily, it was some kind of flying beetle that came in through the window!

Video: New Zealand Black Sox Perform Maori Haka Before ISF World Softball Championships Game
ICTMN Staff
The recently concluded ISF World Softball Championships finished familiarly: The New Zealand Black Sox, the country's national men's softball squad, took the title, their sixth overall. As is tradition with New Zealand's national teams, the softball team performed a haka before their games to honor the Indigenous Maori people. The haka is a traditional Maori war dance. Three members of the Black Sox are Maori: center fielder Ben Enoka; shortstop Tyson Burne; and infielder Brad Rona.
Here are two videos of separate hakas performed by the Black Sox before games at this year's world softball championships.

Very Educational, & in today's world, an Education is very Valuable. Also very sad but true., A time will come in almost all of our lives when we will need to make a decision that relies on what we know about Drugs/Toxins/Chemicals, for Ourselves or Family/Friends. When that time comes I know that I am well informed and ready to make an informed Educated Decision. This Topic is also something I love to learn more about. We can never know everything!...
very good dvd helpful and very true to the drug most other dvd do not give much information on how meth destroys more than the addict lives but the family members and community.

Farmers' Market Open
The changes this year in the annual farmers market represent an important step forward for our community.
Saturday, has been renamed the Biscuits and Jam Farmers' Market and moved to a more prominent downtown spot on the vacant property between Fred's and the Tallahatchie River Bridge.
In the past, the farmers' market has been held on Wednesdays at the Union County Fairgrounds and on Saturdays on Court Street near the Union County Courthouse downtown.
It is on property owned by Mary Jennifer Russell, owner of Sugaree's Bakery, who agreed to lease it to the city for a token amount.
This year's market, which will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. each Saturday until sometime in August, will feature an expanded selection of products and seasonally grown food. It will sell locally grown product, processed farm goods, canned fruit and vegetables, home baked goods and local hand-made craft items.
Management of the market, including the handling of the fees and taxes, will be handled by Pat and Lisa James, both master gardeners with the Union County Master Gardeners.
Consolidating and expanding the market into one spot downtown is a good idea.
Stanley Wise, Mississippi State University extension agent, said that while the fairgrounds has served well in the past, "most successful farmers' markets are located near downtowns.
The new location will be beneficial to the growers and to the city as well because it will bring more people downtown every Saturday. See you at the market.

With market highs followed by pullbacks Sir John Templeton's Rules reign

Okay. So the DJIA returned to a high not seen in five years–the S&P 500 did the same a few days ago—and today stocks are retreating. No big deal for any investor with experience. But if you've become nervous and jerky about the moves, now is exactly the time to review Sir John Templeton's 16 Rules for Investment Success.
In case you may have forgotten, John Templeton, before he was a Sir, introduced the world to his own brand of investing whether buying stocks located in the U.S. or those in foreign markets. This gentleman was both a pioneer and investor [More]

Skip to comments.Why donate to Free Republic? How does Free Republic advance conservatism?
Posted on 04/21/2012 12:02:36 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
Maybe others can answer more concisely, but I believe we need a place where like-minded traditional conservatives can meet to discuss and advocate for our pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, pro-traditional American conservative values, principles and causes--without being hounded and attacked by leftists, "moderates" and other naysayers, doubters, doom & gloomers, malcontents or trolls who would either outright destroy our liberty and our way of life, surrender it, or otherwise nibble away at it in bits and bites.
Free Republic has been just that for fifteen years!!
We wholeheartedly and steadfastly believe in and defend our founding principles and our traditional American conservative way of life.
Our nation was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and endowed by GOD with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
And that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. And that our constitution was established to severely restrict and limit the government to ONLY those powers actually enumerated and delegated to it by the constitution and that all others are reserved to the states and the people.
The rights and powers of government are few and defined while the rights and powers of the people are many and granted by God. Government does not grant us our rights and cannot take them away.
We the people are the sovereigns and final arbiters.
When any government becomes destructive to the causes of liberty then it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
Our government without a doubt has overstepped its constitutional bounds and is becoming outright hostile to our liberty. This is tyranny.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!
We must alter it by taming those who would be our masters. We must reestablish our constitutional limits on government and fully restore our god-given liberty.
This has been the mission of Free Republic since inception. We deliver tens of millions of pages of discussions by conservatives in support of our conservative values to millions of readers every month. We are a conduit of conservative thought from the people to the media, to the talkers, to the kingmakers, to the movers and shakers and to our government representatives. And to each other and to the other side. Free Republic is well read! According to Alexa and other rating organizations we're nearly in the top 1000 or so sites in America (1102 today). We are consistently in the top ten among conservative sites.
People read us. Our thoughts and discussions are often linked, quoted, referenced, mentioned or talked about in the media, blogs or talkshows. People come here for news, information and conservative perspective as posted by liberty-loving individuals like YOU and me.
Where else can you post your great freedom inspiring thoughts and see them reflected almost immediately on google and possibly talked about by Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin or written about by any number of news outlets or blogs?
You are a newsmaker and activist for your conservative causes. Your opinion counts and is noticed and is acted upon. Don't believe me? Ask the unimpeachable president Clinton. Ask Presidents Gore or Kerry. Ask top news anchor, Dan Rather!!
Click the link. The Republic you save may be your own.
I absolutely love Free Republic, for it is an invaluable resource for conservatives. However, and no disrepsect intended, why does it require the hundreds of thousands of dollars that are donated every year? I've helped run websites and I'm curious to what this money goes to.
I pass it to Boortz, Limbaugh and Hannity, and maybe it's coincidence but every so often something I've shared will almost immediately pop on on one of their programs. At least none of them have told me to stop sending stuff.
The liberals know we are here, and they hate us. To me that shows just how effective we are.
I don't want to be popular, I just want my grandson to live free. He is in the Florida Guard and deserves a much better Commander in Chief.
Click the donation link, then click on "Budget."
"People read us. Our thoughts and discussions are often linked, quoted, referenced, mentioned or talked about in the media, blogs or talkshows. People come here for news, information and conservative perspective as posted by liberty-loving individuals like YOU and me."
So very true. I've noticed, and I'm certain others have noticed as well.
A lot of it goes to buying beer and pizza for ME.
And cigarettes. There's an allotment for ammunition used
at the range and an occasional trip to the Cafe East buffet.
Why do you ask?
Whether assisting in the impeachment of a U.S. president, or preventing the theft of a presidential election, this site has made history.
Not many (if any) web sites can say that.
Limited means these days Jim. But I'll donate as much and as often as I can. Thanks for FR and for everything you do.
My tagline ( the same one I've had for years ) says why I come here, and the reason why I donate.
No other news forum could ever replace Free Republic!
I donate to FR because I believe in paying my own way. For the most part, I like it here and have for almost 8 years. I don't care what you do with the money. Unlike the government, you don't make me give.
It also makes me smile that it gets certain anti-freepers panties in a bunch. They are such children, almost liberal like.
Step up, Freepers! I gave twice this quarter to make up for all the comotion of our current circumstances as conservatives.
Thanks for the service you provide to the conservative movement.
Incredible that I have been a FReeper for 14 years and 18 days. Amazing how fast that went by. Great friends, great adventures.
I'm with you. Let me note that being 100% donation oriented takes the sponsor induced format out of the equation. This is Free Speech 101.
I just made my donation. Thanks for the reminder.
I'll make more for beautiful ZOT's or if the kitties can play with a Troll and have a good time for a while.
I'm not voting for the lesser of two evils - that only begets even more evil.
Salary to live on.
Software upgrades.
Hardware replacement and upgrades.
Disaster contingencies.
Backup services and hardware.
Trips on behalf of Conservatives to major candidates or leaders of causes we care about.
ETc, etc, etc....
OH, and I almost forgot:
Maybe a radius server
And a fresh supply of 503's and 504's. Use em or lose em.
Just a cultural joke JR. Don't let that lightning near me.
I never noticed that.
I found the link with the monthly expenses broken down. Was just curious. Thanks!
Dearest Jim,
In addition to everything you wrote, I want to add that life long FRiends are made and treasured here every day.
We laugh together, pray together, fight for likeminded causes so we are happy to support Free Republic: America's Exclusive Site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty Conservatives!
Free Republic is our home on the Internet. I don't want to sound mushy here, but we're more like family, than anything else and families all have in-laws, crazy aunts and uncles and spats are more normal than not. We can't choose our family members, but as a whole, Free Republic attracts the best and smartest of folks, and you have dedicated moderators and yourself to deal with the unruly factions that ultimately must be sent packing.
I treasure the FRiendships I have made and always look forward to making more.
God bless and Keep you all.
I urge everyone to donate, and to donate Monthly, if you possibly can.
Please know that every donation, no matter the amount, is truly and greatly appreciated. Were every regular user, reader and member to donate, our FReepathons would be over in a flash.
Thanks very much everyone!!!
FReep on!!!
Money ain't cheap and bandwidth cost money!
Thanks. Very true. I was just curious how it all broke down. I have no doubt FR requires a lot of bandwidth. Definitely puts a dent on the wallet.
Absolutely....Better than family.
Thanks, Jim.
Just added some bucks in addition to my monthly. Thanks for all you and your staff do in herding us critters!
I donated last night ($25.00 from Michigan). I've read the thread on alternatives.
There is already a system in place for those that don't have the funds to give to have someone sponsor them.
How about keeping that same system and implementing it in a pay to post.
If the minimum monthly donation is $3, $3 x 3months is $9 per quarter. I understand, money is tight. People can find $3 a month in pop cans for crying out loud.
There are some that already sponsor people at $10. Have a list of those that need 'assistance'. They get sponsored for a quarter. Just as people shouldn't use welfare as a career, not donating shouldn't be a consistent habit either. There is helping and then there is mooching.
Those willing to sponsor can cycle through the list of those needing assistance. You could set it up as a monthly or quarterly or semi annual or even yearly sponsorship. $20 can sponsor someone for 6 months. $10 for 3 months/quarterly, there are sponsors that already help others that way.
When your sponsorship runs out, you can't post unless you donate or get sponsored again.
The site needs donations to be able to continue. Its time for some to put their money where their posts are.
People could lurk for free and still be able to read the articles and learn.
Even $20 a year from posters would help immensely. Where else can you get entertainment and learn something for $20 a year? I would think that $20 a year from all posters would go a long way to keeping the lights on and those that wanted to donate more could.
I know some don't like the idea of paying to post, but I suspect those that whine the loudest aren't donating.
I would avoid ads, too many block them anyway an the same moochers would use blockers. If you aren't part of the solution then you are part of the problem. jmo

Most recently I've donated extra in memory....In memory of Bah Bah this time. She was a good friend and like Onyx said many of us feel a kinship with our FrFamily, particularly those we are privileged enough to actual enjoy their company in person. Met Bah Bah on a Fr Cruise. Great time! Great memories!
As you can see from my post, I have no problem with sponsorship. In fact there could be more sponsorship. I just hate to see the site dragged down by so many that will not donate.
If the site disappears, those that could have, but didn't, can look in the mirror, knowing that they didn't help to save the site that they liked expressing themselves at.
I lurked here for years..joined up, despite my poor typing skills, to support our troops..
I get my news here..I had FR as my homepage before I signed up.
I read a lot! We , like family, have our disagreements..sometimes fierce disagreements... over how to beat advance the conservative cause...but we all agree that we need to fight for this cause.
As onyx says..we have FRiends we have never met that we love and pray for and with. We support one another in these trying times for our Nation.
I have learned so much from FReepers and appreciate so many of them.
Free Republic has given me more than I could repay with my monthly donations.
Long live Free Republic! Thank you, Jim Robinson.
I come here to sharpen my grammar.
I'm just curious, are the websites you help run among the top 1000 most-trafficked websites in the nation?
I work for a company that has a website that isn't even close to the top 1000 and yet the costs are very substantial. Thousands of dollars a month just for the bandwidth. That does not include the hardware, the labor required to run it and renting the space required for the data center.
I assume that John Robinson still runs this website - he'd command a six-figure salary to do this in the private sector and he'd probably have a staff under him to boot.
Anytime Boss.
hope you are doing well.

These covers fit well, and are very comfortable. Warm in the winter.

I have had other seat covers on this car, and they never stayed on. These Wet Okole fit great, and stay on the seats. they match the interior pretty well, and add some comfort. Installation is a little tough becuase of the tight space under a Corvette's seats, but it is worth it.
