It's time for Fire Prevention Week from October 6-12, Mill Valley Firefighters will be visiting several elementary schools throughout Mill Valley and spreading the word about the dangers of kitchen fires--most of which result from unattended cooking—and teaching local residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place.History on Fire Prevention WeekFire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on October 9, 1871. According to popular legend, the fire broke out after a cow, belonging to Mrs. Catherine O'Leary, kicked over a lamp, setting first the barn, then the whole city on fire. Chances are you've heard some version of this story yourself; people have been blaming the Great Chicago Fire on the cow and Mrs. O'Leary, for more than 130 years.
Remember in the event of a fire, every second counts, you and your family must always be prepared. Escape plans help you get out of your home quickly. In less than 30 seconds, a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for a house to fill with thick black smoke and become engulfed in flames.
Among the safety tips that Mill Valley Fire Department will be emphasizing:

For Immediate Release
November 17, 2009
Statement from Jesse H. Ruiz
I speak for all the members of the Illinois State Board of Education and agency staff as I extend my deepest sympathy to Michael Scott's family, friends and the entire Chicago Public Schools community. I was fortunate enough to travel with Michael and his wife, Diana, several years ago. Like many, I came to hold Michael in highest regard and I had looked forward to continued work between the state and Chicago schools under Michael's leadership.
Michael's commitment to education, his passion, and communication skills helped make a large urban district feel just a bit smaller. His dedication and skills improved the educational experience for children across Chicago. It is with the saddest of hearts that I say he will be sorely missed but I believe the legacy of his good work will live on.

Biography of President Thomas L. Purce
Dr. Thomas L. (Les) Purce has served as president of The Evergreen State College, a nationally recognized, public liberal arts college, since July 1, 2000. Prior to that, he served as Vice President of Extended University Affairs and Dean of Extended Academic Programs at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. He had been with WSU since 1995.
Accepting the Evergreen appointment was something of a homecoming for Dr. Purce. He was Executive Vice President at the college from 1992 to 1995. He also served as Interim President of Evergreen for two years before that. He came to Evergreen in 1989 as Vice President for College Advancement.
Before coming to Evergreen, Dr. Purce was at Idaho State University as Special Assistant to the President and Director of the Research Park and Economic Development. Dr. Purce's career in the state of Idaho spanned 15 years in both the public and private sectors. He was the first black elected official in the state, serving as city councilman and then mayor of Pocatello. He later served as Director of Idaho's departments of Administration and Health and Welfare under Governor John Evans.
In the private sector, he served as partner and chief operating officer of Power Engineering Inc., one of the fastest growing electrical engineering firms in the Northwest.
Dr. Purce holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, a Master of Arts degree in Education, and a Doctor of Counselor Education from Idaho State University. He also attended Harvard University's Institute for Educational Management. President Purce has also received two honorary degrees. In May of 2009, he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the University of North Carolina, Asheville and in May of 2014, he received an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from SUNY Geneseo, NY
Dr. Purce serves as a board member for the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound, the Northwest African American Museum, and Washington Campus Compact. In addition, he is Chair for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Council of Presidents.
At Evergreen, Dr. Purce oversees a $158 million biennial operating budget, a $30 million biennial capital budget, approximately 230 full- and part-time faculty and more than 500 staff.
Evergreen serves more than 4300 students from its main campus in Olympia, at a satellite site in Tacoma, and through a unique reservation-based program for Native American students at six locations around the Puget Sound.
Since opening its doors in 1971, the college has become a national leader in the development of interdisciplinary learning communities that combine and coordinate several academic subjects that are traditionally taught separately. Students at Evergreen report higher than average engagement on many benchmark measures of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), including level of academic challenge, active and collaborative learning, student-faculty interaction, enriching educational experiences, and supportive campus environment. Many colleges and universities across the country now model parts of their curricula on Evergreen's innovative approach to interdisciplinary study in the arts and sciences.
In 2007, Dr. Purce joined 250 other college and university presidents in making the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment and formally committing to the pursuit of campus carbon neutrality. Evergreen also received the Governor's Award for Pollution Prevention and Sustainable Practices, the state's top environmental honor. The award highlighted Evergreen's Seminar II building, Washington's first publicly funded education facility certified Gold by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). The conceptual design for the building was developed through an academic program and makes use of natural ventilation, recycled and sustainable materials, and green roofs. Since that award, the college has also earned LEED Silver certification for a remodel of its Laboratory II building and LEED Gold certification for the College Activities Building (CAB). Evergreen has also received national recognition from the Princeton Review and Sierra magazine for its commitments to sustainability in operations, academics and quality of life.
As part of Evergreen's broad liberal arts education mission, Dr. Purce encourages community engagement, curricular innovations and academic programs that educate about social justice issues through the liberal arts and sciences. With Dr. Purce's support, The Evergreen State College vigorously promotes and pursues the values of diversity and equity. The college sponsors an annual Diversity Series, a college-wide educational forum that examines issues of diversity, social justice and equity through the lenses of the arts, sciences and the humanities; Day of Absence/Day of Presence events to promote learning across ethnic, cultural and social differences; and other events and activities each year.

ŌĆ£We have spent a lot of time trying to reach out to people back home,ŌĆØ Meadows said.
Meadows has 18 offices setup around Western North Carolina ŌĆö one in every county he represents. It is an impressive testament to the constituent service he hangs his hat on and a record number of offices for a WNC Congressman. Still, finding time to return to the district and keep on top of constituent concerns and opinions is difficult.
ŌĆ£That has been the toughest thing trying to make sure you stay connected,ŌĆØ he said.
Unsurprisingly during his time in office, Meadows has strongly aligned himself with his party, voting nearly 97 percent of the time with fellow Republicans since taking office in January, according to OpenCongress.org, a nonprofit, non-partisan website that tracks members of Congress.
Based on his current voting record, Meadows has been labeled a moderate or centrist Republican. But it all depends on oneŌĆÖs point of view.
ŌĆ£Some would call me further right,ŌĆØ Meadows said. ŌĆ£What I hope that I am labeled is a member of Congress who doesnŌĆÖt change his convictions but votes the will of the people.ŌĆØ
During and after his election, Meadows has repeatedly stated that he will vote with the people of Western North Carolina ŌĆö unless it conflicts with his moral beliefs. Back in April, the U.S. House of Representatives was considering the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a measure that some said would have further opened the door for the U.S. government to gather personal information on its own citizens.
Twenty minutes before the vote, Meadows said he didnŌĆÖt know whether he would vote yay or nay.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt really know. We are still trying to figure out what people back home want and what is in the longer term best interest of our national security,ŌĆØ Meadows said at the time. ŌĆ£I am getting pressure from both sides.ŌĆØ
Before he headed out the door to vote on the matter, MeadowsŌĆÖ assistants handed him a paper detailing constituent thoughts. Whenever a vote is imminent, workers read emails, answer phone calls and distill what voters in the WNCŌĆÖs 11th Congressional District think about a particular bill.
ŌĆ£If votes are coming up, the phones will ring off the hook,ŌĆØ Meadows said, estimating that in his first 100 days he received more than 10,000 communications, be it calls, letters or emails.
In the end, Meadows voted against CISPA ŌĆö one of only five times that he has not voted with the Republican Party. The other times were votes on amendments to bills, not passage votes.
Other key votes thus far:
ŌĆóŌĆéLeaders with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians fought to get a new amendment added to the Violence Against Women Act. The amendment allows tribal courts to prosecute non-tribal members in cases of domestic violence. Despite this direct tie to his constituency, Meadows voted against reauthorizing the act.
He said it came down to the human trafficking portion of the bill. Some Republicans claimed that the bill eliminates protections for victims of human trafficking, while others said the reauthorized act actually expands aid to those victims.
ŌĆ£We gutted human trafficking,ŌĆØ Meadows said. ŌĆ£We put little girls at risk because of some language. I could not stand for that.ŌĆØ
ŌĆóŌĆéMeadows recently voted in favor of constructing of the Keystone XL pipeline, an estimated $7 billion private infrastructure project in Alaska.
ŌĆ£At a time when our economy is suffering and jobs are short supply, the Keystone XL pipeline will create thousands of American jobs and strengthen our energy security without requiring any federal dollars to build,ŌĆØ Meadows said in a release. ŌĆ£With families continuing to bear the financial strain of rising gas prices, it is time for our nation to take this overdue step toward energy independence.ŌĆØ
The U.S. State Department estimated that the project will create 42,100 jobs and generate 830,000 barrels of oil per day.
ŌĆóŌĆéAlthough attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act have failed 36 times before, members of the U.S. House voted on the matter again in May. It passed the House 229-to-195, with Meadows voting in favor of the repeal.
Meadows has introduced three bills since taking office, but none have gone to a vote. As a first-time Congressman, it is anything if not impossible, to move one of your own bills to the U.S. House floor.
ŌĆ£Bills by freshman are very difficult. That is a valid point,ŌĆØ Meadows said. But ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt want to make any excuses for not getting it done because I am a freshman.ŌĆØ
Like all politicians currently holding office, Meadows is receiving contributions from various interest groups and PACs that he can set aside for his re-election campaign in 2015. The congressman has $65,850 in his war chest, according to his most recent campaign finance report.
ŌĆ£As long as we are making a difference, I will continue to run,ŌĆØ he said.

Sound is fifty percent of the entertainment experience. Great sound can really bring out the power of high definition video. And speaker placement is essential to experiencing the true impact of movies, music and games. THX offers speaker set up and positioning tips for 7.1, 5.1 and desktop speaker systems.
A 7.1 surround system has seven discrete audio channels, Left, Right, Center, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left and Right Back, and of course, the Subwoofer.
A 5.1 surround system has five discrete audio channels: Left, Right, Center, Left Surround, Right Surround and the Subwoofer.
If you use Dolby® TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™, your back surround speakers should be separated to produce a 60° angle from the main listening position. In addition, you should go to the "THX Set Up" Menu in your THX Certified AV Receiver/Pre-amp and set the ASA Surround Back Speaker setting to "Apart (greater than 48)."

Investigators from the Honolulu Fire Department completed its probe of a fire at a home on Apowale Street in Waipahu on Tuesday that left two people dead.
Investigators say the fire accidentally began in the kitchen and was caused by an electrical malfunction in a wall outlet behind the refrigerator.
The fire occurred at around 12:45 a.m. Crews found the home engulfed in flames when they arrived. They were also told there might still be people inside the house.
Firefighters entered the home and found two bodies on the home's first floor -- a man in the living room at the front of the house and a woman in a bedroom in the rear of the house. They were identified as 84-year-old Haruki Tokita and his daughter, 55-year-old Karen Tokita.
A third person, 51-year-old Randy Tokita, son of the elder Tokita, escaped without injury and was outside of the home when fire crews arrived.
Damage is estimated at $450,000.
Investigators say there were no smoke alarms in the house, which delayed notification to the occupants in the home.
Fire officials also say there were books and furniture blocking the front door that made it difficult to quickly open the door and exit the house.
The Honolulu Fire Department urges the public to make a fire escape plan that can be executed by those who live in your home.

Once there, it may be voted on by other members. If it receives at least 1 more "yes" vote, it'll be moved to the "Low Priority" category. If it receives 3 more "yes" votes, it'll move to the "High Priority" category. If a feature receives 5 "no" votes, it may be placed in the "Recycle Bin", but only if the "no" votes outnumber the "yes" votes.
You may also submit bug reports. If a bug receives 2 "yes" votes, it'll be moved to high priority. Please be sure to include the version of firmware you are presently running when submitting a bug.

** Remember playlist after sync/charge **
It would be great if the Pilot could remember the dynamic playlist and currently playing song after USB sync. I understand the files could change, but it relentlessly profiles the media any time something halfway major happens (including sync) and should be able to tell if nothing changed.
BUG: Locks up on some images
Haven't established a pattern, but while in MSC mode I uploaded folders with cover.jpg album art. These may have unexpected DPI or very large sizes, but the Pilot should not lock up. I have to hold the power switch over for 10 or 15 seconds so the player shuts off.
Edit: Should have noted this before... NS-4V24, firmware v1.006
** Album art with MSC **
Only way I've found to include album art is via MTP. It would be great if cover.jpg or folder.jpg or [album name].jpg could be used as cover art. Added bonus would be if these were ignored in the Pictures list, but if not, that's fine too.
BUG: Back goes forward
I consider this a bug.
CB: When you are in random mode on the now playing screen playing a song, pressing left or back will go the beginning of the song (this is correct). Press it again and you move FORWARD in the playlist.
PB: Retain going to beginning of current song, but subsequent press should play previous song.
Especially since the random playlist appears to be pre-built rather than dynamically choosing the next random song, this seems like a no brainer.
Edit: Should have noted this before... NS-4V24, firmware v1.006
** Play/Add context menu in Folder Browser **
When using the media library, pressing the play button on an Artist, Album, Genre, etc., you get a context menu to Play, Add to playlist, Play All, etc. When you are in the Folder Browser, play simply expands the folder (which can also, more intuitively, be done using right/next). This makes it only possible to play/add one file, or all files in the immediate folder.
Pressing play on a folder should bring up a context menu like in media library. This would make it possible to organize your music in a deeply nested folder structure and play/add more than just one folder at a time. For instance, if you have "artist/album/nn - song.mp3", it is not currently possible to add all albums from one artist at once using folder browser.
I agree with these 3 things. I absolutely hate that you cannot go back in random mode
My only problem with the player is how it implements bookmarks & folder browsing. I listen to audio books which are often broken up into multiple files in a folder (similar to how music albums are stored). If you bookmark a file while listening to it and then reload it the player will only play the single file bookmarked and when it finish it will not go to the next file. The same is true if you navigate to a file with the file browser. It only plays the single file selected. Bookmarking as it is currently implemented, is not useful unless your audio books consist of a single file. The file browser is not useful unless you only want to play a single file. All the players needs to do is if it gets to the end of the file and it is not in shuffle/repeat mode then play the next file in the folder. Either that or the bookmarking needs to remember not just the file but also the playlist.
I also second the suggestion that the player remembers the currently playing file and playlist when doing USB Syncing.
** Better Unicode support via MSC **
I have several albums from German, Swedish, Norwegian, Estonian, etc. artists and when I tried to copy these over via MSC, the tag information didn't display correctly. I use Windows XP and Foobar2000 0.9.4.4 (or whatever 0.9.x is the latest at any given time) for all of my music. Typically, I enter the tags in fb2k using the Alt+0xxx key combos for special characters (ä being Alt-0228, for example). Foobar2000 is set to use id3v1 and id3v2.4 for tags. After the tags are correct, I use fb2k's file renaming function to name the files as they are tagged, so the file names also contain special characters.
When copied to the Pilot, most of the special chars were replaced with a space and some other character while browsing the library. While in Folder Browser, though, the file names appeared correct. There is a little more about what I tried on this thread.
As near as I can tell, WinXP uses UTF-16 for Unicode filenames. ID3v2.4 specifies UTF-8 as the standard encoding for tags, though ID3v1, I believe, uses locale-specific encoding (so probably ASCII or ISO-8859-1... standard US English WinXP). Also, it would seem that ASCII, ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 all share the same encoding for the basic accented characters.
I have a reasonable understanding with regards to text encoding, but am by no means an expert. I'd be happy to send sample files, try various suggestions or otherwise work with the developers to isolate the problem or what I am doing wrong. Basically, I'd like accented Latin characters, Cyrillic characters, or anything else in Unicode to work for files transfered via MSC.
FWIW, my wife's Cowon iAudio G3 does seem to understand the encoding of my tags as is.
Yesterday a person asked me about Unicode support, etc. So I tried it out.
I took two mp3 songs. Named on in Russian and updated the tags, ID3V2, to have Russian. Then I took the second song, and found some Chinese on Wikipedia, and inputted the Chinese text into the filename and into the ID3V2 tags.
In folder browsing the text was displayed properly for both songs, when playing the song the text was displayed properly for both songs. When browsing the music by ID3 tags, the text was displayed fine in all of the categories (artist, title, genre, etc.)
So I'm not sure why you are having that issue :confused:
1 Attachment(s)
should be
Artist: Otyg
Album: Galdersång Till Bergfadern
Title: Blåkullafärden
shows as (the Ặ is mostly a guess, but the other two unintended characters are exactly as shown - CJK ideogram and pound sign)
Artist: Otyg
Album: GaldersẶng Till Bergfadern肠
Title: BlẶkullaf£rden
Folder Browser on the Pilot gets it right.
Update: If I use Mp3tag to write ONLY id3v2.3 with UTF-16, it does work via MSC. So, I guess I want UTF-8 and id3v2.4 support.
** Album art with MSC ** BIG YES VOTE
Album art MUST be recognized. I use ogg, and my software is unable to embed the covers in that format. Synching with ogg is difficult at best. I prefer simply copying my albu folders over, and those ALWAYS include a folder.jpg, or cover.jpg.
Simple album cover detection of common cover titles is a must, espescially for files where covers are not embedded or cannot be embedded.
Not to mention us who would prefer 1 simple image per folder insteaad of embedding the same image over and over.
It would be GREAT for that image to not be restricted to a exact size and dimensions, but rather loose, for example up to 800x800 and up to 100kb.
Another option if there is no embedded or specifically recognized cover name, to use any image in the folder if there is one.
Cover recognition priority.
1. Embedded
2. Recognized Cover Name.jpg
3. Last resort, any image that happens to be in the folder
I agree with bookmarks remembering the playlist and the current track position. This is especially important for multi-track audiobooks and live albums. Both Cowon and Rio implemented bookmarks in this way. This type of bookmark lets the listener switch back and forth easily between different audiobooks.
It could be implemented as a user option: one track or whole playlist.
Voting Yes to the Features Below
Features that I would Like - Combined otherwise I would have 2000 posts
SD Card
Context Menus
Firmware version: shipping firmware when Pilot first launched (I'm not sure of the number, sorry)
BUG: With audio bookmarks on SD-card-based tracks of any type, the wrong song title -- one from main memory -- is shown in the Load Bookmarks list. Thankfully, if you play the bookmark, it goes straight to the right point in the right SD-card-based track.
**Playlist editing**:
PB: Playlist editing, particularly for "Now Playing" (have one of the buttons, preferably menu, bring up a pop-up menu with track delete and move commands)
**Default Music Library category setting**:
CB: Music Library always starts at Play All.
PB: Have a setting to customize which category occurs first when you go to Music Library from the main menu the first time; subsequently, have player remember where you were in Music Library after a selection is made, then return you to that same place.
My votes for features upthread:
Remember playlist after sync/charge - YES
Play/Add context menu in Folder Browser - YES
Bookmarks that remember a point in a playlist - YES
Back goes forward (in Random mode) - YES
** Album art with MSC ** BIG YES VOTE ; Double BIG YES VOTE!
** Bookmarking with RETENTION of the WHOLE PLAYLIST** would GREATLY enhance the practicle useability of this feature. Having the bookmark restore playback qued to the proper position WITHIN the associated ALBUM or AUDIO BOOK seems only natural and intuitive to me.

Indoor Plumbing
indoor plumbing and central heating, rooms were heated by fireplaces and coal
or wood-burning stoves.
Bathing was done by bringing water in from an outside well or pump, heating it on the stove, and then pouring it into a large tub. Because this was a lengthy process, people bathed once a week or less.
Changes Come
By the turn of the century, indoor
plumbing brought water into buildings through pipes. With indoor plumbing came new ways for heating the water. Houses installed gas or electric water heaters and no longer had to use the stove. Indoor plumbing and water heaters made hot water spill from the faucets for bathing and washing, and warmed homes through radiators. The hot water for radiators was heated by the furnace in the basement. Flushing toilets meant Iowans no longer had to face cold weather and dark
nights when they needed to visit the outhouse.
Indoor plumbing was first installed in town and city houses. Throughout the early 1900s, farm magazines published articles urging farm families to modernize their houses. But even in 1940, most Iowa farms did not have indoor toilets, showers and bathtubs.

The Trill (or Trills) is the name of a humanoid species native to the planet Trill. A small percentage of the Trill population co-exists with a sentient symbiotic organism known as a symbiont inside their bodies. The resulting joined Trills have personalities which are a synthesis of the two beings including the memories, and to some extent the personalities, of the previous hosts of the symbiont. This way, the joined being gains all the skills and occupations of the previous hosts. As late as 2367, the fact that some Trills exist as a joined symbiotic species was widely unknown, even to Federation scientists. (TNG: "The Host")
Physiology Edit
Most Trills are distinguished by two rows of spots going down each side of their bodies, from forehead to toe. Their skin color could vary. One of the main neurotransmitters in the Trill brain is isoboramine. (DS9: "Equilibrium") Joined Trills are also extremely allergic to insect bites; the biochemical connections between the host and symbiont cannot tolerate the reaction caused by the insect's venom. (DS9: "The Siege") One Trill peculiarity is that they are known for having cold hands. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
The few Trills that are given a symbiont are typically joined in their early to mid-twenties. The physical process of being joined is irreversible. Once joined, the host and symbiont are dependent on each other after 93 hours. If the symbiont is removed from the host, symbiont and host will die within hours, even if they are otherwise healthy, unless they are reimplanted with another host or symbiont. (DS9: "Dax", "Invasive Procedures")
The brain of a joined Trill has two cerebral nuclei and two different brain wave patterns. Julian Bashir compared them with two linked computers, which both work for the same task, in 2369. (DS9: "Dax")
Society Edit
Despite the relatively unusual nature of being a joined species, that aspect of their culture was not widely known until 2367, when the Odan symbiont had to be given a new host during the middle of tense negotiations on Peliar Zel. Such a public example of the dual nature of the Trill brought to the forefront what had previously been a very private matter to Trill for several millennia. (TNG: "The Host")
In contrast to the greater revelation of their nature, the Trill are not a secretive species. To them, the joined nature of their culture is normal and not something they would think to comment on without prompting. Indeed, joined Trills can be seen as particularly genial and many have served the Federation as distinguished ambassadors, including Odan and Dax.
Jadzia Dax joked that Trills don't look for romance the way Humans do. They consider it quite a nuisance and view it as a weakness of the young. Although a Trill host may have romantic feelings on occasion, it is the symbiont's wish to live on a higher plane and to try to rise above those sorts of temptations. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
Trill law forbids reassociation between subsequent hosts of joined persons, whose symbionts were romantically involved in their previous hosts, as the main purpose of the transfer of symbionts is to experience new things in life. Trills who are found guilty of reassociation are expelled from Trill society, meaning that their symbionts die with their current host. (DS9: "Rejoined")
The Trill are a technologically advanced species and the Trill Science Ministry is a leading center of learning and experimentation. (DS9: "Rejoined", "In Purgatory's Shadow")
On average, only three hundred symbionts are available for hosting each year and about a thousand Trills apply for joining. Because there are many more humanoid Trills than symbionts, prospective hosts are weeded out by a demanding selection procedure, overseen by the Symbiosis Commission. (DS9: "Equilibrium") The competition for the few symbionts is fierce and attracts the brightest and most highly motivated of Trill society. Often the would-be hosts excel in their chosen fields and it is not uncommon for them to hold several degrees or distinctions prior to their joining. Prospective hosts may eventually become initiates under the supervision of a field docent, a joined Trill who evaluates the prospective host's suitability for joining and makes a recommendation to the Commission. A negative recommendation usually means the initiate is cut from the joining program. (DS9: "Playing God")
Common belief in Trill society holds that only one in a thousand Trills make acceptable hosts. In fact, this figure is vastly understated, and nearly half of the Trill population is capable of being joined. The myth is perpetuated very carefully, though, in order to avoid the widespread chaos which would arise if the information were made public, since the symbionts would become, essentially, objects to be fought over, as people fought to gain the few prized symbionts. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
Unless the joined Trill objects, a prospective host may request a specific symbiont. If a host is weak, the personality of the symbiont will overwhelm it. Joined Trills have several tools at their disposal for dealing with various aspects of their previous hosts. The telepathic ceremony of zhian'tara allows a current host to divest the symbiont of the personality and all the memories of a previous host, which are temporarily hosted in volunteers. The transferring process is performed and supervised by a symbiont Guardian, an unjoined Trill telepath. The ceremony creates a chance for closure by having the new host address the previous hosts directly as a means of distinguishing their voices and cementing the sense of finality of its latest transition. Similarly, the Rite of Emergence can focus the voice of a single previous host among the memories of the other, allowing for a more direct conversation in times of need for the current host.
The zhian'tara ritual is roughly similar to the Vulcan fal-tor-pan ritual, since both enable the respective species to perform a synaptic pattern displacement, the transfer of what could be considered as a soul (katra, pagh, etc.). (DS9: "Invasive Procedures", "Facets", "Field of Fire")
Mirror universeEdit
In the mirror universe, it was unclear which side (if any) the Trill government took in the conflict between the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance and the Terran Rebellion. A number of individual Trills were part of the Rebellion, while others would attempt to remain non-aligned. (DS9: "Through the Looking Glass")

Background Edit
It is not known when Trills and Humans First made Contact, but Tobin Dax once met the famous Cardassian poet Iloja of Prim while the latter was exiled on Vulcan, indicating Trill and Vulcan contact prior to 2245. (DS9: "Destiny") Emony Dax is known to have visited Earth in the mid 23rd century, where she was apparently close to Leonard McCoy. Travis Mayweather mentions having visited Trillius Prime, but it is not made explicitly clear if this is the same planet as the Trill homeworld.
The Trill hosts seen in "The Host" featured a different make-up style than the more common spots seen on Deep Space Nine. The reasons were purely cosmetic and the writers of DS9 were aware of the contradiction, but no canon explanation has ever been offered. After she had put on the Odan forehead appliance, someone looked at Terry Farrell and said to Michael Westmore, "What did you do to her head, she used to be beautiful?" Westmore then suggested to "just give her spots like we gave Famke," who played a Kriosian. This makeup was used on all Trills afterwards. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
However, the disparity between Trills seen on TNG and the later Trills goes beyond makeup. "The Host" seemed to make it clear that the symbiont was dominant (in fact, the symbiont is referred to as a parasite on more than one occasion), and that the host was merely a body with no influence over the joined entity. Odan was apparently unable to safely use the transporter while Dax used it often with no trouble at all. Odan was ready to pick up where he/she and Crusher had left off despite the Trill taboo against reassociation.
Apocrypha Edit
A link between the Trill symbionts and the alien parasites seen in TNG: "Conspiracy" is suggested in the non-canon DS9 short story "Sins of the Mother" (in the anthology The Lives of Dax) and the novel Unity. This was expanded upon in Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume 2. The neural parasite was first seen as it traveled in a comet passing close to the Trill homeworld. Audrid Dax and her husband, Jayvin Vod, went to the comet with a Federation team to examine it when Trill scanners showed a being similar to a symbiont in the comet. However, as the Federation was not yet aware of the Trill's symbiotic relationships, it was kept in secrecy. Upon coming into contact with the chamber of the parasite, it bonded with Jayvin, as well as the Vod symbiont, ultimately causing both of their deaths.
The inconsistencies between TNG and DS9 Trill were dealt with in the novels by suggesting that ridged Trills and Trills who could not be transported were subgroups of Trill society; both were mentioned or shown during the scenes on Trills, and the inability of some Trills to be transported was a plot point. In the DS9 Relaunch novels dealing with Trill, the ability or inability to be transported is shown as simply a difference between various Trill ethnicities.
The comics took a far different course, such as the Star Trek: Divided We Fall mini-series, where the fact is completely ignored. In fact, both Odan hosts are shown, without facial ridges but with spots. All Trills in the series are shown with the spots instead, no reasoning given.
In another novel, Forged in Fire, the ridged Trills are said to result from a strain of the Augment virus that managed to infect a Trill colony through visiting Klingon traders. However, those Trills did not seem to be interested in working on methods of restoring the original Trill look, with this "sub-group" having recently (at the time the novel was set) being re-accepted back into Trill society. This division among the groups possibly explains why Odan was so different from other Trills encountered in the series.

Glam Up Your Lips With The Yves Saint Laurent Touche Brilliance Sparkling Touch For Lips Glamorous Red #11
Do you ever keep something away, not because you dislike it, nor are you in love with it, but because you can't decide what is it that you feel, that you don't want to finish it up too soon? Lol.
The YSL Touche Brilliance in Glamorous Red has been lying in my makeup cabinet for far too long and I decided to do a review on it. Maybe I will find out how I feel after this post is complete. Maybe you can help me decide too.
Everyone knows about the legendary YSL Touche Éclat, the complexion highlighter that is said to be able to conceal dark eye circles, fine lines and brighten up the skin. I don't own it by the way, but I've swatched it and……… maybe I will be more objective in a review when I do own it some day.
The Touche Brilliance was inspired by the Touch Eclat, the look and mechanism at least.
Gorgeous Lip Shade
Glamourous Red is a gorgeous cherry red with sparkling gold shimmer that looks sophisticated and atas (local slang for prestigious. haha!). I feel like a rich tai-tai when I put this on. Or maybe it's because I know I'm putting some YSL baby on my lips.
The shimmer is aplenty, but does not rob the base color of its shine; it co-exists with the red very well.
Sometimes I apply Glamorous Red on top of a lipstick, but most of the time, I think it looks smashingly good on its own. In the above picture, YSL Touche Brilliance Glamorous Red was used on its own.

Headlight Assemblies are used to provide maximum illumination at night so you can see where you are driving and other motorists can see you. It is important that your vehicles headlight assembly is always in top condition. Over time, the plastic lenses of most headlights become discolored or "milky." This decreases the lens' permeability and the lights ability to shine through effectively.
Vehicle lighting components that are in poor condition should never be ignored. Doing so puts you and your passengers at risk at night and in low visibility driving conditions. If your headlights are worn or damaged, it is important to replace them as soon as possible.

text: We all know how hard it is breastfeeding in this #@$*ed up, stuck up, formula frenzied society but...let alone breastpumping??? I had a rough start in the hospital, some various troubles left me having to relactate form scratch and so I am now (thank heavens I made it) 100% EBM feeding my 5 month old son, but I feel like I am tied to the home. It takes me about 30 or 40 minutes to pump and I do it about every 2 hours, so how do you manage to go anywhere? It's not like you can just sneak off to a toilet for THAT long, can you? I mean...and what about when you're visiting people? How do you explain something like that? I know it sounds stupid but I feel embarrassed about sneaking away to do it and even more so with the thought of whipping my boobs out in front of people. What do you gals do? How do you get out and about and manage to live your lives? How do you explain it to people? Any help appreciated. I'm not ashamed of feeding my son breastmilk in any means by the way, I'm PROUD of it, it's just that I guess I feel embarrassed that I never was able to get him to the breast properly and embarrassed about having a machine to my breast in front of other people. Seems odd I guess. ? x

Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Jamaica
|Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in [[{{#explode:Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Jamaica| |6}} {{#explode:Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Jamaica| |7}} {{#explode:Living conditions and volunteer lifestyles in Jamaica| |8}}]]
|As a Peace Corps Volunteers, you will have to adapt to conditions that may be dramatically different than you have ever experienced and modify lifestyle practices that you now take for granted. Even the most basic practices— talking, eating, using the bathroom, and sleeping — may take significantly different forms in the context of the host country. If you successfully adapt and integrate, you will in return be rewarded with a deep understanding of a new culture, the establishment of new and potentially lifelong relationships, and a profound sense of humanity.

Mail from the United States usually takes one to three weeks to arrive, but it has been known to take several months or not arrive at all. Despite the delays, we encourage you to write to your family regularly. Family members often become worried when they do not hear from you, so it is a good idea to advise them that mail service is sporadic and that they should not worry if they do not receive your letters regularly. If a serious problem were to occur, Peace Corps/Jamaica would notify the Office of Special Services at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C., which would then contact your family. Also advise your family that in the case of an emergency, they can contact the Office of Special Services in Washington at 800.424.8580, extension 1470.
During pre-service training, your mail should be sent to the following address:
"Your Name," PCT
c/o Country Director
Peace Corps
8 Worthington Avenue
Kingston, 5, Jamaica, West Indies
Once you become a Volunteer and are at your site, you may choose to have your letters sent directly to your new address, but packages should always be sent by the U.S. Postal Service to the Peace Corps office at the above address. Packages sent to any other address, or sent through services like UPS, DHL, and Federal Express, will be held at the airport until you make the trip to claim them and pay duty.
Packages can take from two weeks to four months to arrive. They must be lighter than 22 pounds and are cheaper to mail if they are less than 11 pounds. Note that books and documents that weigh a minimum of 11 pounds can be sent to you in an "M-Bag" through the U.S. Postal Service at a relatively economical rate. Further information is available at U.S. post offices and at www.usps.com.
Land-line telephones are available throughout the island except in very remote areas, and international phone service to and from Jamaica is fairly reliable. AT&T, Sprint, and MCI offer toll-free numbers that directly connect you with an operator to place a collect call. Prepaid calling cards called "World Talk" are available island-wide for local and overseas calls on public and private phones, but they can be expensive for long-distance calls. U.S. calling cards are not accepted. If calling home collect is not an option, the most economical option is for your loved ones to call you directly. Many cellphones from the United States do not function in Jamaica, but there are four major cellphone companies providing reliable island-wide coverage. You are strongly encouraged to purchase a cellphone in-country rather than bringing one from home.
Computer, Internet, and E-mail Access
If you bring a laptop, make certain it is insured and bring a power surge protector. (You might also consider bringing a portable printer.) E-mail access is becoming more available and is an economical way to communicate. Peace Corps/ Jamaica's resource center is equipped with four computers with Internet access for use by Volunteers. There are also Internet cafes in the larger cities.
Housing and Site Location
Your living conditions in Jamaica may not be as rugged as those in many Peace Corps posts. Most Volunteers have indoor plumbing and running water. The water usually is not heated, however, so be prepared for cold showers. Laundry, while usually washed by hand, is usually done in a sink or a washtub. Electricity exists island-wide, except in very remote areas. Very few Volunteers go without a refrigerator and other electrical appliances, and many Volunteers have amenities such as cable television.
Living conditions will vary depending upon whether your site is rural, peri-urban, or urban. Areas with mining, manufacturing, and tourism will have a higher standard of living. The agency to which you are assigned will assist you in identifying suitable housing. All Volunteers must live in the initial housing identified by their agency for at least the first four months of service after which Volunteers may move to different housing if they so desire (with the approval of Peace Corps staff). If accommodations do not meet your needs, it will be your responsibility to locate housing that meets specified budgetary, health, and safety criteria and is approved by Peace Corps staff. The most common living situations are a room with its own entrance, attached to a bathroom and kitchen that you share with a family; an apartment you share with another Volunteer; or your own place. Generally, Volunteers remain in the housing initially identified by their agency.
During pre-service training, you will be placed with a host family for the community-based portion of training. Here you will receive a firsthand orientation to Jamaican culture and community life.
Living Allowance and Money Management
The local currency is the Jamaican dollar, and the exchange rate changes constantly. The Peace Corps will open checking accounts for you in local and U.S. currency at a branch of the National Commercial Bank, which will issue you an ATM card. Your living allowance and leave allowances will be deposited monthly into these accounts. To help facilitate this process, please send a scanned photo ID to firstname.lastname@example.com once you accept your invitation.
Food and Diet
Your diet may not need to change drastically while you are in Jamaica. The main source of meat is chicken, and you are likely to become a culinary expert in its preparation.. Beef, goat, and fish are also readily available.
Vegetarians need not be concerned. Although there may be a smaller variety of foods than you are used to, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as dried beans and rice, are plentiful. Many rastafarians follow an "ital" diet which is vegetarian and often vegan, and TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) is widely available as a vegetarian protein source.. Note that Jamaicans love hot and spicy foods. For those who crave a taste of home, Burger King, KFC, Subway, Wendy's, T.G.I.Friday's, Domino's, and Pizza Hut can be found in many urban areas. Also available in urban areas are imported food items. Once you move to your site, you will learn to make do with what is available locally—a little creativity does go a long way.
Within the Kingston Metropolitan Area (Kingston, Portmore, Saint Andrew and Spanish Town), the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) runs a modern and efficient transportation system with hubs similar to those in America. Taxis and Hackney Carriages that operate rural routes are crowded and often do not operate on regular schedules. The JUTC operates three hubs within the Kingston Metropolitan Area; the very modern Half-Way Tree Transport Center, Parade, and The new Downtown Transport Center. Rural travel options range from large buses, minibuses and route taxis to pickup trucks, bicycles, and lots of walking. It may be necessary for you to walk or bike long distances in hot, humid, or rainy weather. The Peace Corps issues bicycles and helmets to those who need them to get to work (supplies permitting). Volunteers are required to wear a helmet while riding bicycles.
Geography and Climate
Jamaica has a tropical climate. Temperatures vary between 80 degrees and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and are about 10 degrees lower at higher elevations. Both days and nights generally are hot and humid in the summer months, while evenings are noticeably cooler during the winter. At higher elevations, especially between November and March, evenings can be quite chilly, and a light wrap, long-sleeved shirt, or sweatshirt may be necessary. Rain can occur any time throughout the year, though most likely from May through June and from September through October.
Social Activities
Activities available for entertainment will depend on where you are assigned and how creative you are. Among the possibilities are reading, walking, writing letters, riding a bicycle, swimming, socializing with friends, taking classes, doing arts and crafts, going to the movies or plays, watching videos or television, listening to music or a shortwave radio, dancing at clubs or DJ parties, snorkeling, scuba diving, playing games (e.g., cards or dominoes, the national pastime), and playing musical instruments.
Professionalism, Dress, and Behavior
You will be working as a Peace Corps Volunteer in cooperation with a government ministry or Jamaican organization and will be expected to dress and behave as a professional. Most professional Jamaicans dress well and follow a conservative dress code. If this dress code is not maintained, it is seen as disrespectful. While tourists may wear short shorts and transparent clothing, such attire is not appropriate for Volunteers.
Peace Corps/Jamaica has guidelines for appropriate professional dress, which you are expected to adhere to when visiting business establishments or the Peace Corps office, especially during working hours. Men should wear long trousers (not jeans), a short- or long-sleeved shirt with a collar, and leather shoes with socks. Women should wear a skirt and blouse, a nice pantsuit, or a dress, with nice closed-toe dress shoes or flats. Jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, casual sandals (e.g., Tevas or Birkenstocks), and other casual wear are inappropriate except during some field-oriented activities.
Flip-flops should not be worn during pre-service training or during work hours. Any body piercings besides in the ear are inappropriate; please remove these piercings before you have sex. Visible tattoos are also inappropriate and should be kept covered to the extent possible.
Personal Safety
More information about the Peace Corps' approach to safety is contained in the Health Care and Safety chapter, but it is an important issue and cannot be overemphasized. As stated in the Volunteer Handbook, becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer entails certain safety risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment, oftentimes alone, having a limited understanding of local language and culture, and being perceived as well-off are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk. Many Volunteers experience varying degrees of unwanted attention and harassment. Petty thefts and burglaries are not uncommon, and incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although most Volunteers complete their two years of service without personal security incidents. The Peace Corps has established procedures and policies designed to help you reduce your risks and enhance your safety and security. These procedures and policies, in addition to safety training, will be provided once you arrive in Jamaica. At the same time, you are expected to take responsibility for your own safety and well-being.
Rewards and Frustrations
The real sacrifices you will make in the Peace Corps are in the form of the tremendous daily, even hourly, efforts you will make to operate and be effective in another culture and the constant struggle to be self-aware and sensitive. A former Volunteer explains:
"Most of us agree that although we knew the Peace Corps was going to be hard, it is often hard in a different way than we expected. We all worried about adjusting to the bugs and the heat, but that's the easy part. It's more of a challenge to get used to dealing with perplexing bureaucracy, the lack of motivation in some host country counterparts, the lack of technology and education, and cultural barriers." As with most developing countries, there will be challenges such as irregular transportation, disruptions in electrical and water supplies, and inordinate delays in getting things done.
Your maturity, openness to change, and commitment to the Peace Corps will greatly enhance your ability to adapt to living and working in Jamaica. Judging by the experience of former Volunteers, the rewards are well worth the difficulties, and most Volunteers leave Jamaica feeling that they have gained much more than they gave during their service.

About the Museum » Museum Architecture
Museum Architecture
The Norton Simon Museum is an unconventional building that manages to inspire while melding with its environment. It is a beautiful work of architecture that blends structural passion with the tranquility of its surroundings.
"The Pasadena Art Museum embodies our belief that the space itself, if properly conceived and executed, can be part of the event and experience."
- Statement of Purpose by Ladd & Kelsey
In 1964, the Pasadena Art Museum's Trustees hired architects Thornton Ladd and John Kelsey to design the building that now houses the Norton Simon collections. The Museum, built on Carmelita Park property, opened to the public on November 24, 1969.
Mindful that the Museum was located near a residential area, the architects created a building that was "residential in atmosphere" but not in scale. They chose to line its curved exterior walls with 115,000 handmade deep umber tiles, designed by artist Edith Heath. As the sun rises and sets, these tiles reveal their delicate tones and highlights. They serve as a reminder of Pasadena's many Craftsman-style homes as well as the San Gabriel Mountains that tower over the city to the north.
The Museum's original interior featured spacious curving galleries that facilitated the exhibition of large modern art pieces, which was the original focus of the institution. In 1977, Craig Ellwood and Associates transformed office space into additional exhibition galleries in the lower level.
From 1996 to 1999, the Museum underwent a major interior renovation by Frank Gehry working with executive architect Greg Walsh. The interior walls were reconfigured to better display the varied masterpieces of the Norton Simon collections. The ceilings were raised and the skylights opened, allowing filtered natural light into the galleries. The original dark parquet floors were replaced with French limestone. Two dramatic components were also added: the updated spiral staircase and the stunning Asian galleries lined in red Indian sandstone.
Transforming a simple auditorium into a 290-seat screening venue, Arthur Gensler, Jr. & Associates created a multimedia center, adaptable for musical performances, lectures, seminars and other art-related events. Gensler utilized a warm and inviting palette, along with a poplar acoustical wall treatment and dramatic lighting to create an intimate, yet elegant atmosphere. The new Norton Simon Museum Theater opened in 2000.

Karnes City High School Athletic Director Jim Wood presented to the board concerns regarding the current worn condition of the track and the need for a new track surface in order to maintain safety standards, as well as for the track to stay in quality athletic and recreational use.
Wood explained to the board that the current track surface is seven years old and that life expectancy for track surfaces is six to eight years. Wood stated how factors such as weather, notably the Texas heat and recent years of drought, can compound the wearing out of the track surface.
"The last three to four months we've really known that it's starting to wear and tear more noticeably," said Wood. "One of the main things is that there is uneven running surface around the lines and numbers on the track. It's not dangerous right now but it is very noticeable. When you walk around the starting lines to where there's the big numbers in each lane, you can tell a difference; there's a difference from where it is painted on and where it is not."
According to district officials, the painted lanes and numbers on the track has actually acted as a sealant and has protected that part of the track so that it is raised, whereas the other unpainted areas of the track have become depressed due to various weather conditions over time.
Aside from the concerns of uneven surface, there is also a concern that the track is becoming more slick and losing its proper traction as well.
"If we can do it this summer, we need to do it, because if not, by next year it's going to be really bad," said Wood of the track replacement.
With the approval by the board to move forward with the track surface replacement, the district is considering bids by Hellas Sports Construction and also Beynon Sports Surfaces. The district will consult experts choosing the right company and process, and hopes to begin the project this summer.
"Our track is not just only used by the school," declared Wood. "There are a lot of community members that use it as well."
