Welcome to the inaugural post for the series I've been meaning to introduce for quite some time! Beautiful Bee-ing Me in the reader/fellow blogger photo showcase! It is in this series that you can show off your hair, fab new outfit or make-up look. Wanna show off your new hair cut? That lipstick you've been rocking for a month? Show off on Clumps!
Okay, who cares? Have yall seen MY looks….or mistakes? Don't be shy. This series is about being able to connect with the Clumps of Mascara community and display your new findings in the beauty/fashion world. I welcome all submissions from all ladies (and you too fellas) of all backgrounds and ages! Shoot me an email at email@example.com.
I feel honored to even display Shavonda, a 26 year-old from Sacramento. She has recently BCed (big chopped–this means cutting off relaxed hair) and wanted to show her new look with the Clumps of Mascara family.
After seeing her beautiful hair, I just had to ask her a few questions.
1. When did you BC?
—> November 20, 2008.
2. What do you love most about being natural?
–> I love EVERYTHING about being natural. I love that I can wash my hair everyday. I love that I don't have to run from the sheer thought of water anymore. I love that it takes me 5 mins to do my hair in the morning. I think the best thing about being natural is that everyday I fall in love with my hair over again. I love that my curls are uniquely mine. No one else has the same curls as me.
3. What are some of the challenges?
–> I don't think that I have encountered any hair challenges yet only because I've recently BC'd. Right now I'm rockin the TWA and even when I think I may be having a bad hair day, you can't tell because it come across as intentional. Although I will say that I am having kind of a hard time with the whole head scarf, wrap thing, I had never worn wraps or scarfs before I chopped so I have NO IDEA what I'm doing. Plus I have a little head so I don't really know that they look right on me!
4. What are your favorite products?
I'm really into all natural products so there are the ones that I have discovered and are lovin right now. I co wash pretty much everyday with either Burts Bees More Moisture Raspberry and Brazil Nut Conditioner or Giovanni Deeper Moisture Conditioner. I tend grab the Giovanni more though. It's amazing because it's natural and organic which I love and it makes my hair feel so soft and nourished. I have been following a few blogs (including Clumps of Mascara) which have raved of Trader Joe's conditioner so I actually went out and bought it last night!! I plan on testing it out today. After I wash it I pat dry and spritz with some homemade vegetable glycerin and water spritz. While my hair still damp I apply some of my homemade hair crack (as I call it) which consists of Pure Unrefined Shea Butter, Unrefined Coconut Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, and Jojoba Oil. My hair loves this stuff and it is the most amazing moiturizer ever.. I don't comb or brush my hair so I finger style and Im out the door. **I usually dont shampoo at all but if I notice buildup I only use one of things. I'll use either castille soap or I use Giovanni Deeper Moisture Shampoo. Both are Laurel Sulfate free. Ill be trying Trader Joes brand shampoo that goes along with their conditioner since its also Laurel Sulfate free.
5. What do you plan on doing next with the hair?
At this point I have no idea what I plan to do with my hair next!! I know I don't plan to loc it, though. I love the look of natural hair wild and free so I do plan on doing alot of braid and twist outs. I'm just looking forward to getting to know my hair and its characteristics.
How beautiful is she?! She reminds me so much of myself when I did my first BC back in April of 2005. You can find more pictures of Shavonda at her Fotki album.
Okay, so who is going to be the next feature? Don't make me call you out. 🙂 Beautiful in your own skin and don't mind letting the world know? Shoot me your shots at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Until next time….
Rock on with you bad self,

Sweepin' Away the Sox
Yanks Complete Sweep of BoSox, and are Pulling Away in the AL East
Yesterday I wondered what kind of exhilerating experience game 4 would be. It sure was amazing. The Yankees won by the score of 5-2.
Pitching Analysis: Andy Pettitte was great last night. He went 7 innings of 5 hit, shutout baseball and struck out 4 along the way. He did not get a win, but I'm sure he is happy with his performance. It was a dandy from Andy.
Andy did get into some trouble in the 4th. With 2 out, Bay and Drew singled. Then Lowell walked to load the bases. Varitek then hit a line drive shot into left, but right at Johnny Damon, who put it away for the final out, and the end of the Red Sox threat. Andy really did a nice job last night. Two thumbs up for Andy!
What a game from Andy. He's like having a 3rd ace!
Coke came in to pitch the 8th, since Hughes was not available. Pedroia got a 1 out single, and Victor Martinez followed with a 2 run homer, the first Red Sox run in a LONG time. But more importantly, the Red Sox had a lead! Uh-oh….
It all worked out, though. Mo picked up his 32nd save of the year, completing the sweep.
Defensive Analysis: Once again, the defense was very solid, since the pitching was good. Swisher made a nice play on a liner by Lowell, catching the ball in front of him and then rolling forwards. I don't know if that was necessary, but hey, it's Swisher.
Offensive Analysis: It took the Yanks awhile to get on the board, and I was starting to think it would be game 2 all over again! Both Lester and Pettitte were very sharp. But lucky for us, Arod hit a solo bomb to left-center off Lester in the 7th, giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
That run was erased after Martinez hit his 2-run homer, but the Yankees did not give up then. In the 8th, all with 2 outs, magical things happened. Johnny Damon hit a home run to tie the game at 2, and then the "Texicutioner" went back-to-back with him, giving the Yankees a 3-2 lead! Tex got himself a curtain call from the best fans. Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira now have the franchise record for Yankee teammates going back-to-back in a season; they have done it 6 times this year! Good for them.
Nothin' like a little Yankee magic.
The Yankees weren't done yet. Still with 2 out, Arod walked, Posada doubled, and Swisher singled, scoring them both and giving the Yankees a 5-2 lead!
The sweep is complete, and the Yankees are pulling away in the AL East. They now have a 6.5 game lead! And the Red Sox are now TIED for first in the wild card with the Rangers! TIED! The heroes for last night are Andy Pettitte, for an amazing performance, and for Johnny and Tex for making Yankee history, and for giving us the lead. What a great series. It was Girardi's Boston Massacre! Haha! I really like the way this team looks. Hopefully, they can remain strong, and bring #27 to the Bronx.
I love it!

Very very very well done indeed. Now can you stop winning for a very games so we can catch up?🙂 We're a game and a half off the Wildcard leaders…Tell ya what you guys can keep the division, if you'll let us get to second place and win the wildcard….would that work? Now we just have figure out how to beat the Angels and hope Detroit can help us out a bit too. The Jays are awaiting the Yanks…enjoy the games!
Ginny, keeping the division sounds good to me! I hope you guys win the wild card. The Rays are a great club, and they never give up. I admire them for that. -Virginia
I love it too, Virginia! So excited about how the weekend went. And I really believe this team can go all the way to #27. It's been a while since we had a championship trophy and I'm ready. But first things first. We have to keep winning!
Hi, Virginia. I just updated my blog. I wasn't sure about Andy last night. It looked to me like he was having a few control issues at one point. Doesn't matter though when you have big bats like A-Rod, Damon and Tex. Those guys are tough!
I would love to see Mark win the MVP, but it's Joe Mauer's to lose at this point. He's having an incredible year. Although no Yankee fan will ever discount the effect he's had on this team – there's no way in hell we are where we are right now if Cash doesn't make that deal.
This was one of the best series of baseball I've seen the Yankees play in a few years. We got GREAT pitching out of everyone when we needed it, and while our offense after the 1st game was pretty dead, we were able to capitalize on the fact Boston's was deader and that's what superior teams do – they take advantage.
We have a tough series coming up with Toronto and we miss Halladay, so that should make it that much easier on us. We need to keep going and not look back.
Virginia, your Yankees arre unbeatable. So awesome that they pulled a sweep. I always have said, BELIEVE.
Nothing was able to stop us this series, and we were facing the almighty Boston Red Sox. Imagine what we do to lesser teams: the Royals, the Orioles. oh boy, this is gonna be a fun August/September.
-EJ, duh.
Never doubt the Red Sox. If anyone thinks that they will play like this for any longer, you are wrong. Keep it up Yanks.
– NYColeman
Sweet sweep. Stinky game tonight though. =l We'll get 'em tomorrow! =D

Event offers flavors of the Panhandle
MARTINSBURG – Dangling snowflakes led guests into an evening of dining, entertainment and philanthropy at the 2013 Kelley Kisner Taste of the Panhandle event.
Hosted at the Holiday Inn in Martinsburg Saturday evening, the conference room was transformed into a silver-dipped paradise as part of the event's Winter Wonderland theme.
Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Martinsburg, guests sampled signature cuisine from more than 14 restaurants and caterers from the Eastern Panhandle while participating in a fundraiser for local organizations.
"Kelley Kisner was really the driving force behind this. She really had the grand vision of this being the premiere event for all of the Eastern Panhandle," said Herman Dixon, co-chair of the event.
The event was named in Kisner's honor after she died in 2010. Kisner, a Martinsburg Rotary Club member, developed the idea for the fundraiser and organized the first Taste of the Panhandle event in 2010.
Donations, ticket sales and winning auction bids generated by the event will be donated to five organizations: CASA of the Eastern Panhandle, Berkeley Senior Services, Panhandle March of Dimes, Martinsburg Rescue Mission and Community Networks, Inc.
While each organization will receive a donation from the event, CASA is the primary beneficiary of the Kelly Kisner Taste of the Panhandle event.
"What we're trying to do is look within the community at needs, and CASA needed some assistance because they get no monies from the United Way or anyone. They have to raise all of their money. With the job that they do really helping the kids and families, we felt like they were the one," Dixon said.
Dixon and Co-Chair Jodi Frankenberry hoped to raise at least $30,000 by the end of the event.
In addition to sampling varied cuisine, guests could embrace their competitive spirit by participating in a silent auction and a live auction – led by Jack Frost.
The silent auction included small ticket items such as gift baskets, jewelry, a Dooney and Bourke bag, an iPad mini and a one-year membership to Peacemaker National Training Center.
The live auction featured more extravagant items, including a VIP family package to see the Thunderbirds, a three-night vacation package at any Wyndham vacation resort and two courtside tickets to see the WVU – Oklahoma State basketball game.
Bidding on a necklace set at the silent auction, guest Becky Jenkins said she attended Taste of the Panhandle in support of the fundraising effort for the event's charities.
"My friend is the executive director of CASA (Vicki Barnard), so I'm here to support her. I'm very impressed with the event. I'm having a great time," Jenkins said.
Whether guests, sponsors or vendors, Dixon and Frankenberry were thankful for the overwhelming support from the community that helps make the event and philanthropy effort possible each year.

Um um um; First of all thread starter do a little proof reading: threw???? The diction error alone casts a shadow on the thread Secondly so are you guys gonna blame the harsh Winter on Melo too??? I mean every game we won is inspite of Melo but every game we lose is Melo's fault??? C'mon man...all this nonsense is why old school posters like Donchris don't even bother anymore....the low hoops IQ stuff posted around here is a shame. At this point I feel bad for Melo stuck with this team and sorry fanbase
Last edited by WVKnickfan; Jan 24, 2014 at 23:09.
How can we realistically win if Melo is averaging 16 points a game?
We give up 99 points a game.
That means we need to score 100 points a game to be a winning team.
Melo scores 16 points a game in 30 minutes(which isn't realistic since he averages over 20 ppg per 30 minutes)
Who else picks up the scoring load?
What does Smith average?
What does Felton average?
What does Bargnani average?
What Chandler average?
What does Shumpert average?
If you can't answer these questions and then give a solid reason why this team would win with those guys scoring points they never scored before in their career then it's best to say you have no point there.
Consider the fact most of those guys are terrible whether they take a lot of shots or take very little shots. They're not good. Stop thinking they can help this team. They can't.
Melo is a star player, he doesn't choose to be. Melo has been a star in high school, college and the NBA. He'll retire and end his career with that status and get a free walk into the hall of fame. You're covering your eyes and pretending Melo is inflating his stats for star recognition. I invite you to watch a Knicks game with me and I'll clearly show you the things Melo do on the court that separate him from other players.
This is your problem.
You want to create a world that isn't real.
You want to create a world where Melo isn't a superstar.
You want to create a world where Melo isn't the best player on the Knicks.
You want to create a whore where Knicks are better without Melo on the court.
The problem is reality.
Reality doesn't allow this for you.
Your protest to research will be your enemy.
Throughout research look at what we find:
Knicks play their best basketball when Carmelo is on the court.
If you look at the most productive units, Carmelo is in all of them.
The worst units tend to be the Chandler/Bargnani front court.
What does this tell you?
Melo is by far the best thing we have obviously, but it doesn't mean he's a bad team player; it is just an issue of us having a really bad team. When you realize that, things will make more sense for you.
If you're a Knick fan you will remember the days when Kurt Thomas was our go to option on the floor.
If you're a Knick fan you will remember the days Howard Eisley was our floor general.
If you're a Knick fan you will remember how we never had any All Star representation in the league until Melo.
I want this team to win as much as anyone here, but when you're blaming the luxury of having one of the best in the league on the team, you look like a straight up fool.
I wouldn't be mad if Melo leaves NY, he's going to embarrass a lot of haters.
Terrible playoff performance.
Was average last season.
Has been terrible this year.
Injury prone.
One of the most overpaid players in the NBA.
Almost at the end of his career.
If Tyson had something to give to the Knicks, his word would be valuable. He's as much of the Knicks problem along with Bargnani, Smith, Stoudemire and Felton.
He delivered the first shot...
"I want to be a free agent," Anthony tells me, as our cigars burn close to the nub. "I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free agent at least one time in their career.
It's like you have an evaluation period, you know. It's like if I'm in the gym and I have all the coaches, all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I do. So yes, I want that experience." Take a breath, Knicks fans. That doesn't mean he's leaving.
"I came to New York for a reason," Anthony adds. "I've been with you all my life, almost to a fault. I wanted to come here and take on the pressures of playing in New York. So one thing I would tell my fans: If you haven't heard it from me, then it ain't true."
Melo nor his malitia want retaliation....sorry he's eating these bullets.
Like Jadakiss said....
"As soon as you come out your crib I'm gonna be....BY YOUR SIDE....where I'm supposed to be, close to you, with the toast close me"
Felton wasn't even the best player on his team when he a won a NCAA Championship.
You care about everything Melo does, you direct 100% blame towards Melo. Take responsibility for your foolishness.
Who the F is Evelyn Lozado? Sounds like one of my distant cousins.
The rest of this post is just a mindless ramble.
i don't know if its been said but the title is wrong. It should be "I am so through with Melo". Threw is the past tense of the word throw. I'm not normally a Word Nazi but this one is actually annoying me.
told ya'll Melo aint the problem man, anybody that scores 37 points in the half can't be the problem
Great time to make this thread.
3G4G, Kiyaman and friends are probably scared to look at the first post in this thread. They'll probably vomit in site after Melo's 62 point 13 rebound performance.
I'm through with You!!! - Carmelo Anthony
Last edited by LeFlume; Jan 25, 2014 at 00:49.
This is the 4th time in NBA HISTORY someone scores more than 60 points under 40 minutes played. Kobe did it 2 times and Karl Malone one time. Melo has probably the most amazing one, because Malone and Kobe attempted around 20 FT.

Five years ago (gee, has it really been that long?), I wrote a series of articles on understanding Unix permissions. Since then, FreeBSD has implemented something known as ACLs (Access Control Lists).
ACLs came to BSD as part of the TrustedBSD project. As the name suggests, they give a user finer access control over permissions.
While ACLs don't change the standard Unix permissions of (r)ead, (w)rite, and e(x)ecute, they do give you better control over whom those permissions affect. Here's a simple example--as a regular user, create a test file in the system's temporary directory:
% touch /tmp/test
% ls -l /tmp/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 dru dru 0 Jul 26 15:43 /tmp/test
I've chosen this directory as all users have write access here and it is a good place to test out permissions. However, don't keep important files here, because they are likely to disappear, depending on how the system administrator has configured the cleaning of this directory!
Related Reading
Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security
In this example, the creator of the file,
dru, has
rw access; anyone in the group
dru has
access; and everyone else has
r access. Note that when you create
a user in FreeBSD, you also get a group of the same name with that user as the
only member.
Now suppose that I need to give the users
rob and
toby write access to this file. As the permissions stand now, they
might be able to open the file in an editor, but they won't be able to save any
changes, as they are neither the user
dru nor a member of the
dru group. They fall into
other, which has read permission only.
Before ACLs, the typical solution to this dilemma was to modify group
memberships. I could, for example, ask the system administrator to add
rob and
toby to the
dru group. I could
then use
chmod to add write permission to the
group for this file. This is slightly better than giving write permission to
other, as that would allow anyone on the system to write to that file.
Alternatively, the system administrator could carefully plan out which users
need access to which files and then create groups and assign users to those
groups. Then, assuming a user belonged to the required group, she could use the
chgrp command on the files she created in order to change group
Neither system is perfect, however. For one, it requires bugging the system
administrator, which is inconvenient when all you want to do is share your own
files. Further, consider another scenario. Suppose that
rob, and
toby have all been made members of the newly
workgroup group. All three group members can write to any
files with write permission for
workgroup, regardless of which one originally
created the file. But what if
dru wants
rob to write
to one of these files but not
This is starting to sound pretty complicated, isn't it? Fortunately, this is
the reason behind ACLs. Without having to ask the administrator to make a bunch
of groups or having to use
dru can easily pick
and choose through her files and decide which files
rob gets write
access to; she can also give
toby write access to a different set
of files.
This article shows how you, as the system administrator, can prepare a FreeBSD system for ACLs. I'll then demonstrate a GUI utility, which will allow your users to easily control the ACLs on their own files. Finally, I'll show you how to back up files containing ACLs.
If you're using FreeBSD 5.1 or later, ACL support is already built into your kernel and UFS2 filesystem.
(With earlier versions of FreeBSD, see Daniel Harris's article on ACLs for instructions for compiling ACL support into FreeBSD.)
You simply need to decide on which filesystem(s) you wish to use ACLs:
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 253678 35764 197620 15% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 253678 22 233362 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 8077406 3045460 4385754 41% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 253678 21048 212336 9% /var
On my system, I wanted to enable ACLs only for users, so I configured only the /usr filesystem.
The FreeBSD handbook explains the advantages of using
tunefs command to enable ACLs. The disadvantage is
that it requires bringing the system down to single-user mode and unmounting
the filesystem. Choose a time that will least impact users; once you're sure
no one is connected to the system, use the following:
# shutdown now
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# /sbin/umount /usr
# /sbin/tunefs -a enable /dev/ad0s1f
tunefs: ACLs set
# /sbin/mount /usr
Use your output from
df to know the name of the device on which
you wish to enable ACLs (
Then, to see if it worked:
# /sbin/mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates, acls)
/dev/ad0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
And to bring the system back to multiuser mode:
# exit
That's it. ACLs are now enabled on /usr.
If you do a Google search for "FreeBSD acl," you'll find several articles
and how-tos. Each of these gives examples on using the main ACL command line
getfacl and
setfacl, such as Greg
Czaplinski's excellent Working with ACLs in FreeBSD
getfacl is straightforward, the syntax for
setfacl can get a bit hairy--more than enough to scare off most of
your users. Here, a GUI is beneficial, as it allows users to easily determine and
control who has what permissions.
eiciel provides an intuitive GUI and is available as a FreeBSD package or port. It also works on Linux systems and is a part of the Nautilus file manager, which among other things adds a properties sheet to files, allowing a user to easily view and manage file permissions, icons, and the Open With utility.
You can quickly add the binary package using:
# pkg_add -r eiciel
Once you have installed the package, leave the superuser account and enter an X session as a regular user.
There are two ways to access the newly installed ACL GUI. One is to start
nautilus; see Figure 1. The user
dru has three files in
her home directory called test, file1, and myfile.
Figure 2 shows what happens when the user right-clicks on test and
selects Properties from the menu.
Figure 1. Viewing files in Nautilus
Figure 2. Viewing file properties in Nautilus
eiciel installation has added an Access Control List tab
to Nautilus. You can see from the figure that this tab provides a GUI
representation of the following permission set:
% ls -l test
-rw-r--r-- 1 dru dru 0 Jul 27 09:09 test
The other method is to start
eiciel directly (Figure 3).
Click on the Open button to select the test file (Figure 4), which will
show the ACLs window (Figure 5).
Figure 3. Starting eiciel directly
Figure 4. Opening a file in eiciel
Figure 5. Editing ACLs in eiciel
I prefer to use the
nautilus method, as it also includes the
Permissions tab, which allows me to view and change:
dru is a member of; similar to
ls -l
Look again at the bottom portion of Figure 2. Here, you can view the users
and groups on the system. Double-clicking on the user
rob will
add two items to the top portion, or Access Control List, of the screen as
shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Adding to a user's ACL
Note: Future versions of
eiciel will include a check box to
exclude system accounts.
Notice that the entries for
rob and
mask have full
rwx permissions, which is more than
dru has as the
owner of the file. What is happening here? By double-clicking on
rob, I added an ACL, which I can verify with a long listing on my
home directory:
% ls -l
drwx------ 2 dru dru 512 Jul 26 10:35 Desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 dru dru 0 Jul 27 9:22 file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 dru dru 0 Jul 27 9:22 myfile
-rw-r--r--+ 1 dru dru 0 Jul 27 10:03 test
See that
+ at the end of the permission set for
test? That indicates
that an ACL has been set on that file. I can view it with
% getfacl test
That output is basically the text representation of Figure 6.
Why did
rob get
rwx, and what is this
mask entry? By
definition, an ACL mask determines the maximum allowable permissions. It's
worth doing two things to make sure you understand that fully.
First, uncheck the execute permission from the
rob entry. Note
that I can give
rob any combination of read, write, or execute
that I desire. From the perspective of the person using this GUI, she can simply
double-click on the user to add them, and uncheck the permissions she doesn't want
the user to have.
What happens if you change that
mask entry? Put
rob back as
rwx, but remove execute from
mask. As soon as you do that, the execute permission next to
rob, or any other user with execute, will display a red
exclamation mark. The GUI also displays a message that a red exclamation mark means "an ineffective permission."
This makes sense if you go back to the definition of an ACL mask. Now the
maximum allowable permission set is
rw, meaning that anyone who
appears to have execute really doesn't. While the GUI gives a nice visual,
getfacl will also indicate the effective permissions:
% getfacl test
user:rob:rwx # effective: rw-
A file can have only one ACL, its "access ACL." Most users will be happy with the ability to fine-tune the permissions on the files they create, as demonstrated in the previous section.
Directories are more complex, as they can have up to three types of ACLs:
The current FreeBSD implementation supports only the first two types of directory ACLs, so double-check the effective permissions on any files you create in directories containing ACLs.
To see how this works, create a directory called folder.
Note: If you're planning on setting an ACL on a directory, do so before you add any files or subdirectories to that directory. This is because only objects created after the ACL can inherit the ACL. If you add an ACL to a directory that already contains files or subdirectories, always double-check that they contain the desired ACLs.
Look at the ACL properties for folder (Figure 7). It looks similar to a file, except the Default ACL button is no longer grayed out and there is a new Default check box under the Participants list.
Figure 7. ACL properties for the new directory
The User, Group, and Other permissions affect access to the directory itself and therefore represent the first type of ACL or the access ACL.
Figure 8. Adding default ACL properties
Click on that Default ACL button. As Figure 8 shows, there are now four additional entries. These represent the second type of ACL, or the default directory ACL, and affect only subdirectories. Verify this by creating a subfolder and file:
% getfacl folder
% mkdir folder/subfolder
% touch folder/testfile
% ls -l folder
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 dru dru 512 Jul 27 12:23 subfolder
-rw-r--r--+ 1 dru dru 0 Jul 27 12:23 testfile
Notice that subfolder inherited the directory permissions but testfile did not.
If I go back to folder properties and add
rob, will he
have write access to folder/subfolder/ and folder/testfile?
Good for you if you answered no. This change to the directory ACL will affect only subdirectories or files created after the change.
I also have a choice when I add
rob. If I just double-click on
rob, I give only
rob access to the directory. In
other words, I change the first type of ACL. However, if I first check the
Default box and then double-click on
rob, I change the second
type of access, or affect
rob's permissions on the subdirectories
I create. I can actually add
rob both ways. If the icon has a D
over it, it affects subdirectories; if it doesn't, it affects access only to
this directory.
For demonstration purposes, add both versions of
rob and leave
them with the default
rwx permissions. To see the effect, create
another test subdirectory and file:
% mkdir folder/subfolder2
% touch folder/testfile2
Figure 9 shows the effective ACLs. As expected, the default directory ACL,
represented by the
rob icon with a D, inherited
from the parent directory. Note that the access ACL, represented by the
rob icon without a
D, shows that
w is an
ineffective permission. In other words, because it represented access only to
the parent directory, it doesn't give
rob any inherited
permissions on this subdirectory; therefore,
rob is subject to the
permissions any other user would be on this subdirectory. However, you can
override this by checking the write box in the mask. If you do change the mask,
double-check the other users on your screen to make sure you don't
inadvertently give write access to a user who shouldn't have it.
Figure 9. Effective ACLs
Once the explanation of the permissions in folder/subfolder2 makes
sense to you, take a look at testfile2 as seen in Figure 10. Note that
there isn't any
rob icon with a D. This is because files don't
inherit the default directory ACL. Because there isn't any current support for
a default access ACL,
rob doesn't inherit any permissions at all
from either the directory or subdirectory and is subject to the same
permissions as any other user. Again, the way to modify this is to modify the
mask (remember, it represents the maximum possible permissions) and
double-check that the new mask value doesn't give other users more permissions
than you intend.
Figure 10. Files and the default directory ACL
One of the things you need to be aware of if you plan to use ACLs is that
most backup utilities will correctly backup files containing ACLs, and even
restore those files, but not their ACLs. A good solution to this is to install
/usr/ports/archivers/star from the ports collection. If you've ever
tar, it won't take long to train yourself to add a few extra
switches to catch all of those ACLs.
In this example, the superuser has made a backup directory for
dru outside of her home directory so she can store backups of her
home directory.
# mkdir -p /usr/backups/dru
# chmod dru:dru /usr/backups/dru
# exit
dru backs up her home directory, which contains files with
% whoami
% cd
% star -cv -Hexustar -acl -f /usr/backups/dru/home.tgz .
dru will try a test restore in a temporary directory in
her home directory:
% mkdir ~/tmp
% cd ~/tmp
% star -xv -Hexustar -acl -f home.tgz
Note: If you try to restore to a filesystem that doesn't have ACLs enabled,
star will complain but will still restore the files minus the
Many users either haven't yet heard of the benefits of ACLs or believe them
to be difficult to use. Spend a half an hour showing your users how to use
eiciel and
star, and they'll wonder how they ever
lived without ACLs.

Swine Flu Vaccine Fearmongering
Fear is a curious thing. It often bears no relation to the actual risk of what we fear. When swine flu first broke out in Mexico, people were understandably afraid. Travel was restricted, schools were closed, and so many people stayed home that the streets of Mexico City were empty. As the disease spread around the world, Egypt developed a paranoid fear of pigs and committed national pigicide. They ordered the slaughter of all 300,000 of their country's innocent little porkers, ignoring the fact that the flu is spread person-to-person, not pig-to-person. Now that the disease has officially been labeled a pandemic, fears have switched from the real threat of the disease to an imagined danger from the vaccine.
Some people just plain hate the idea of vaccines – to the point that they are willing to spread old falsehoods, make up new lies, distort the results of studies, misrepresent statistics, and endanger our public health. There are websites like "Operation Fax to Stop the Vax" and even anti-swine-flu-vaccine rap videos. Press releases, e-mail campaigns, talk shows, and blogs are being used to stir up irrational fears. These people are irresponsible fearmongers. They are wrong, and they are dangerous.

Great player gives 110% and can play 8,9,10, or 13. Or even in the second row. id be more than happy to see PJ back with us.

Thought it was a story about Philh deciding to watch Leigh instead
Aside from that disappointment I'd love Phil Joseph back.
Flawed logic again Mark, as no "move" is necessary to watch Leigh, just go to the same ground at a different time (_;o).
Back on topic, if I may. Loss of Phil Joseph was a big blow last season not just in terms of his direct impact but also the overall balance of the side, as he brought a combination of things to 13 that proved hard to replace. I'Anson did a sterling job, but is better at halfback.
After a very promising start he struggled with injury at the Bulls, so state of fitness might be an issue.
If he gets the chance, you have to assume first choice would be to stay full time elsewhere. He's friends with several Huddersfield players and spent a lot of time training with them last pre-season, so the Giants will likely be his first point of call. Although they passed over the chance to sign him for 2012, Nathan Brown has since exited stage left and its Paul Anderson's view that counts now - might mean a different outcome for 2013.
But, if available and affordable, Phil Joseph is undoubtedly a player that would considerably strengthen the Lions squad.
Rugby League - great game, shame about the administration.

Highway 61 Roadhouse and Kitchen was conceived during a trip on Highway 61 in between St. Louis and New Orleans. This stretch is called "The Blues Highway". It comes from the agriculturally and culturally fertile land of the Mississippi Delta; it is stated that American music, as we understand it, traveled and established up the river. From the Zydeco and Jazz of New Orleans to the Urban Blues of Memphis' Beale Street to the piano based St. Louis Blues, fantastic music has covered this route. The mix of the balanced noises of slaves and their instruments of the brand-new world gave America its roots of unique musical styles that have topped the charts and soothed souls for centuries. Find out more at restaurants near webster groves
The various cultures that developed such unique and world-renowned music had other influences as well. The food of this area of Highway 61 brings us the savory tastes and intricate flavors that American's hearts and tastes buds have actually fallen for. No one can resist the spicy étouffée or jambalaya from the Cajun and Creole kings of New Orleans. The Delta brings us items like cornmeal breaded catfish, hot tamales and sweet potatoes. As this culinary trip remains to Memphis, you will find mounds of sluggish smoked pulled pork and racks of seasoned dry rubbed ribs. St. Louis, whose contributions consist of pork steaks, toasted ravioli and exactly what was at first an error that has become among the area's most enjoyed desserts, gooey butter cake. These are just a few examples of the great foods this rich region has contributed to America's gastronomic lore. We hope we have actually consisted of some of your favorites on our menu and if you have an idea please let us know. Click on this link – st louis barbeque restaurant

View Full Screen [opens new window]
A native of Racine, Theodore Czebotar traveled to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State from the 1940s through the 60s. During these annual trips with his artist-wife Els, Czebotar painted and filled sketchbooks of the largely unexplored area. These studies and smaller works later inspired larger paintings of the coastline, temperate rain forests and drier climates found in the region. The artist often concentrated on fallen trees and the weathered remains of root clusters littering the beaches along the west coast. Though he never fully embraced abstraction, Czebotar's work became increasingly reductive and stylized over the years. What the artist actually saw can be seen in the now historic photographs of the Pacific coast included in the exhibition. These were used for reference by the artist when he returned to his studio after each visit to the northwest coast.
The paintings shown in this exhibition are from the estate of Theodore Czebotar and presented courtesy of the Emile Mathis Gallery, Racine, WI. This exhibition is sponsored in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

It's easy to referee a game where the result isn't really in doubt.
just a word about the officiating at the game - well done Mr Thaler, Ian Smith & the linos for an excellent display - one day maybe all games will be officiated this way (go on Salford fans, shoot me down...)
The referee at Cas showed no bottle (same old Rangi) and James Child is still the same old moron when making decisions (Cross red correct, but in binning Clarke, who did nothing wrong, ruined the game; yet Wilkin can come in and throw windmills?).

Layoffs at a Madison renewable energy construction firm will leave 30 area employees without jobs.
Alliant Energy Corp.-owned RMT Inc. filed a layoff notice Tuesday with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. The layoffs will start Friday and continue through April 30.
The company is also letting go of 36 out-of-state workers, allowing 85 employees to remain.
In its notice to the department, RMT President David Kutcher said the terminations are the result of selling the company.
Alliant is about to finalize the sale to Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives of Chicago, said Scott Reigstad, a spokesman for Alliant.
"The wind business isn't doing very well," he said. "And we're looking to get back to our core business of gas and electric utilities."
The layoffs were part of a sales agreement that became public in December, Reigstad said.
The notice said RMT would let 66 employees go after Friday; 30 of the company's employees are from the company's Madison facility on Heartland Trail.
The Department of Workforce Development and the Southeastern Wisconsin Workforce Development Board said they will provide job placement services to the affected workers.
It was not known if the buyer would retain any employees.

What a weekend—freezing, windy and raining. Try having a yard sale for four days. We sold some of my mother's stuff but not much. It is very sad and hard to clean out her house. Speaking of my mom's house, it is a four-bedroom in the business district of Narrowsburg and it's for sale. If you're interested, email me.
On Sunday I needed a break, so I went to the St. Francis Xavier pancake breakfast and sold 50/50 tickets for three hours. I got $500—not bad for the winner, who got $250. Fr. Bill would like to thank all who worked the breakfast and all who came out to enjoy the yummy pancakes.
On Monday I wanted to get away, so my husband and I went to the Chinese restaurant in Peck's Plaza and we were joined by Ed Jackson. We all had a nice conversation and lunch, and when I came back to Mom's house, my brother and sister were all done cleaning—that's great timing.
Save the date on Saturday, July 13, which will be the fifth annual Cochecton Day on the Lake along with the Lake Huntington Fire Department Family Fun day; more information to follow.
Dottie Schlegel and the Catskill Regional Medical Center, Grover Hermann division's Mary Cadet Memorial Health and Craft Fair was held on Saturday, May 18 and was a great success thanks to everyone who came out and supported it. Your support goes a long way toward helping the hospital, and when you help the hospital that makes Dottie happy and when Dottie is happy, all is right with the world.
The rumors that the Narrowsburg United Methodist Church is closed have been greatly exaggerated. They are alive and well, and they extend a heartfelt invitation to all to attend on Sunday mornings. Their relatively new pastor is Rev. Linda Bohs, who studied at Drew University, NJ, and is currently at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. during the summer months. Services are at 8:30 a.m. They are looking to begin a Bible study group, Sunday school and choir. All are most cordially welcome to come and honor the Sabbath Day at the Narrowsburg United Methodist Church and to join their close-knit Family in Christ.
Have a great week, and email me at email@example.com, or call 845/252-3568 if you have any news.

- Abstract
- We present dynamical scaling relations for a homogeneous and representative sample of ~500 massive galaxies, selected only by stellar mass (>10^10 Msun) and redshift (0.025<z<0.05) as part of the ongoing GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey. We compare baryonic Tully-Fisher (BTF) and Faber-Jackson (BFJ) relations for this sample, and investigate how galaxies scatter around the best fits obtained for pruned subsets of disk-dominated and bulge-dominated systems. The BFJ relation is significantly less scattered than the BTF when the relations are applied to their maximum samples, and is not affected by the inclination problems that plague the BTF. Disk-dominated, gas-rich galaxies systematically deviate from the BFJ relation defined by the spheroids. We demonstrate that by applying a simple correction to the stellar velocity dispersions that depends only on the concentration index of the galaxy, we are able to bring disks and spheroids onto the same dynamical relation -- in other words, we obtain a generalized BFJ relation that holds for all the galaxies in our sample, regardless of morphology, inclination or gas content, and has a scatter smaller than 0.1 dex. We find that disks and spheroids are offset in the stellar dispersion-size relation, and that the offset is removed when corrected dispersions are used instead. The generalized BFJ relation represents a fundamental correlation between the global dark matter and baryonic content of galaxies, which is obeyed by all (massive) systems regardless of morphology.

Only for two weeks. Damn
Marbury is a changed person? I'm not even touching that one.
For 2 Weeks
I will be disgusted with the management during that time. Im sick of hearing this bull**** about people not wanting him to be around the rest of the team. Hes no longer a bad teammate..hes a different person fully dedicated to winning in new york. If Donnie and Mike D dont see this ill be dissapointed. You can tell by watchin marbury in his interviews hes a changed person. Chris Duhon is a solid point guard but Marburys still better and thats not close. Cutting marbury would be a good way to guarentee another lottery pick...with him we can be a playoff team next year.
I'll leave for 2 months.
Jeremon Linbury
ABCD your a clown to the utmost. If you want to go support Brooklyn be my guest, your not needed.
We are the joke of the NBA now, **** we are probaby the biggest joke in professional sports. It don't matter if Marbury is on the team or not. If you have been paying attention for the last 5 years you would know we are a joke and who has been the punchline of many of those jokes? Marbury.
ABCD you are in the minority of sports fans. Most fans don't want Marbury around. I'm tired of you guys blaming the media, because media has nothing to do with it.
Who cares if we win 23 or 30 games? Neither is going to get us into the playoffs, so we might as well get the higher draft pick and let Nate, Collins, and Duhon play more minutes.
Also if your over the age of 10 dont use a smile face in your post to express emotion. Thats rediculously gay.
As for Metro and MSG. Enjoy your two week vacation, and don't worry about missing summer league play. Because Kiya will have every single game chronicled so that he can talk about it for the next three years. And point out examples of what "Real Knick Fans Know"
I see a little hate from Notrealistic. It's nothing new. I knew you was a hater from the day I saw your ignorant posts. I don't value what you have to say, because you'e one of the top 5 worst posters on this site.
Jeremon Linbury
ABCD, should i call you Metro Light or Diet MSG? Cause you spew out everything they say just without any of the information or knowledge to back it up. Your a tool don't speak to me again.
Top 5 worst posters on the site? Dont you mean: One of the 5 worst posters on the site.
Its not the end of the world. If he gets bought out he gets bought out. Its not like we will win a championship with our current team plus Marbury. And it isn't like we can get some blockbuster deal with Marbury.
It probably isn't the smartess move from our stand point, but if Marbury truly is a distruption to this team then he should be gone. Who knows, we aren't there.
I've heard you say that Curry has athleticism, that Zach Randolph is at fault for Curry's decline in his game, and that big men that score down low don't grow on trees. All of your statements where you defend Eddy Curry are BS, and I crown you the Currysexual of 2008.

January 22, 2014 —
[Editor's note: After the week's issue of the newspaper went to press, Penny Carman Blume passed away on Tuesday afternoon, January 21, 2014.]
It's not uncommon for me to wax rhapsodic about life in the Upper Delaware River Valley. Having lived in major cities and then making the choice to relocate to the Catskills changed my life in so many ways that I've lost count. One constant is that I had a pretty active social life back in the day and still do. If there is a difference between the two, it would be that small town life connects us in ways that (IMHO) simply do not occur in a larger area. I discovered this quickly the very first time I crossed the threshold of (what was then) Blanche's Diner on Route 17B in the Mangaup Valley. I spied neighbors and friends, who were reading The River Reporter, as Blanche herself held court, while Bud cranked out Blanche's famous flapjacks, calling out "order up!" to the ladies who worked the tables, smiling, laughing and catching up with the regulars.
An attractive blonde approached my table and shook my hand. "Hi, I'm Penny," she said. "You're new around here, right?" I nodded my head, introducing myself and asking for a recommendation. "It's all great," Penny replied. "You're at Blanche's Diner!" She was right, of course. I quickly learned that the place was legendary, and in an instant, the place, the staff and Penny became a big part of my life. I learned that we had many friends in common and that Penny was a "local" born and bred. A graduate of Liberty High School, she had so many pals that her name popped up wherever I went and over time, I realized that our lives were intertwined. While the pancakes were great, it was the camaraderie and conversation that drew me to the diner daily, and I dished with Penny, Bud and the crew, keeping them up on the news, while they sat at my table, schmoozing and smiling, working hard. Hundreds of breakfasts later, I strolled into the place, but Penny was nowhere to be seen. "Out sick today," Blanche barked. "Don't worry, she'll be back." As it turned out, Penny was pretty ill. It was 2011 and that week, the news wasn't so good. Penny had been diagnosed with lung cancer and her prognosis, I learned, wasn't great. While I was morose, Penny was surprisingly upbeat. "Watch and see," she said, "I'm going to be the one who beats this." The mother of two insisted that she had "a lot of livin' to do," and had "no intention of giving up," proceeding to prove her point by learning everything she could and exploring every aspect of treatment available, all the while smiling through the occasional tears, losing her hair, and her boyfriend, but never giving in.
Once again, small town life showed me the way. Penny's friends rallied 'round, and her upbeat attitude was infectious. "Don't feel sorry for me," Penny admonished. "What do you think of my new wig?" It's been said that "when one door closes…" and the point was driven home, when I learned that Penny had met a "very special man" named Don. The two found each other online, through a lung cancer survivors group, and what began as a friendship, quickly blossomed into romance. Their inspirational story became national news (abcnews.go.com/Health/couple-share-lung-cancer-undying-love/story?id=17231220) and has been covered extensively in stories across the globe and here at home, including a report on ABC's Good Morning America.
Penny and Don's romance was, according to her, "just what the doctor ordered," and as they spent more and more time together, I found the best way to keep up with them both, was via Facebook. It was through social media that I recently learned that Penny was entering the final stage of her years-long struggle. A woman I didn't know had written, "Asking my friends to please send prayers for my friend Penny, who is nearing the end of her battle with lung cancer." Scrolling down the page, I was overwhelmed with the response. With more than 50 friends in common, I recognized many names sending prayers to Penny, Don and to her family, but it was the incredible outpouring of emotion from those I didn't know that affected me more. "You are a beautiful person," one wrote, "I'm so happy you got your wish to celebrate your 50th birthday." Hundreds of messages have appeared on Penny's page and Don keeps us updated hourly on her journey, which is drawing to a close. Words like "admiration, strength, courage, inspiration and love" play across the screen as so many share their thoughts during this difficult time. Sitting at my desk, I scroll through the years. "I have the most amazing friends!" Penny wrote in March of 2012 and then in September shared this: "I would like to thank all of the people who have made the telling of [our] story possible." Don posted a few hours ago with these words: "The family wants to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support you are showing Penny. I know she can feel it… and just to be sure, I am whispering it all in her ear as they come in." Turns out that "A Penny for your thoughts" is priceless.

John McCracken espoused many of the formal characteristics advocated by his fellow Minimalists, and he incorporated industrial materials, reductive forms and negative space into his sculptures. However, McCracken also felt that his works conveyed an otherworldliness, drawn largely from the idea of the monolith. This suggestion of a spiritual world beyond the sculpture was not uncommon among modern sculptors. Stonehenge, in particular, was fundamentally important to the work of Hepworth and Moore, and its shape can be recognized in Blue Post and Lintel I. And when in 1968 Stanley Kubrick made his futuristic epic 2001, the director chose a plank as his monument, a pure geometric shape representative of hope, and a form for which McCracken was already well known. The present work, notably named after principal architectural elements, was one of McCracken's first single-color works. Its purity of hue, polished finish and simultaneous reference to architecture and the monolith show how flexibly these sculptures—often placed into one simplistic category—express a variety of sensibilities, depending upon the interests of the artist.

Complete change in life
Once the baby arrives, your life will change completely. Leaving the house is not as easy as it once was, and you must constantly be on the lookout for your baby's safety.
"Driving can be made easier by keeping a well-stocked 'to-go' bag in the car at all times," said Jones.
You could alleviate the stress of transferring the car seat by having one available in both mom's and dad's vehicles. Another option, when the baby is small, is to have a child carrier that works as a car seat when it is locked onto a base. Place a base in each vehicle for ease in travel.
Make sure to have soft music available to calm baby and help keep your nerves from fraying. If you're a rock fan but don't want to expose your baby to your music, check out Baby Rock Records for lullaby renditions of your favorite music.
Finally, remember to relax. As you get used to your new routine, everything will begin to feel like second nature.

Wright's pink shirt. Gomez's pop and lock.
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know I keep my eyes peeled for the funniest moments in SNY's Mets coverage. I like to recreate those moments here, purely for your amusement. Last night, I caught this gem of what must be some clubhouse ribbing at the expense of our Pretty Boy, David Wright.
What, you don't see it? Let me telestrate for you:
I would bet money that the culprit is Paul Lo Duca. Looks like he's written "I AM ***" on David Wright's pink Nike shirt. Sophomoric? Of course. But I do like that D-Wright's left it up as a badge of honor.
If you saw last night's rain-delayed and rain-shortened game, then you know one highlight was a stellar run-and-leap catch by left fielder Carlos Gomez to rob Juan Encarnacion of an extra-base hit. But perhaps you missed Gomez's earlier feat–a dugout cha cha and pop-and-lock routine. The kid's challenging Jose Reyes for the title of Dugout Dance King. Better step it up, Jose. (As a bonus, watch again and focus on Shawn Green's version of the white-man's shuffle. Love him.)
1 Comment
The infamous shirt… I'm glad you saw it as well and pointed it cuz I got some emails regarding the issue and dear ol me doesnt have SNY LOL
I love the video… of course it wouldn't be a Mets game without a little Dugout Dance Time!

"They're still trying to come up with a design that meets everybody's needs and meets the future needs of the district," said Superintendent Tylor Chaplin. "Right now, we're just talking about the conceptual ideas. We're not down to the final blueprint just yet; it's just conceptual ideas."
Conceptual ideas include aspects of possible location and designs for the new gyms, band hall, fine arts department, agriculture department, etc., along with what the exterior of the campus would look like.
Committee members have been in close consultation with Fort Worth-based architecture firm Huckabee and Associates, regarding issues of building design and construction.
Chaplin said no plans have been finalized and that the committee has been holding community meetings in recent weeks to educate the community on various aspects of the plans and the tax impact and costs.
The next public community meeting of the design committee is set for April 23 at 6 p.m. at the diner of Falls City Catholic Church.

5 New Year's resolutions you will break
Some pledges harder to keep than others
Over the next few days, millions of Americans will make resolutions to better themselves in the new year.
They will then promptly begin breaking those same New Year's resolutions -- some before the sun rises on the first day of 2015.
Depending on which survey you believe, somewhere around three-quarters of us won't even make it three months. Another survey -- apparently there are no shortage of them when it comes to resolutions -- by the University of Washington suggests that less than half of that successful quarter of resolution-makers succeed on the first try.
If you're anything like us, that math has your head spinning and considering another New Year's resolution.
Of course, some resolutions are harder to keep than others, and which ones you choose will make all the difference in your chances of having to make the same promise to yourself next year ...
No. 5: This year I'm going to do more ...
One of the biggest mistakes people make with their New Year's resolutions is biting off more than they can chew.
Many people vow to do more in the new year. More traveling, more reading, more anything. And while these are great goals if you spend a lot of time doing nothing, for most people that's not the case.
We are already overcommitted. How much free time would you say you have right now? Now factor in some time-consuming resolution into your plans? Do you really think you're going to be able to stick with that resolution now?
Rather than committing to doing more, why not commit to actually doing less in 2015? Drop a commitment or two, spend more time with your family -- or just with yourself -- and watch the stress melt way in the new year.
No. 4: Get organized
For whatever reason -- the struggling economy just might have something to do with it -- resolutions to get organized have fallen off in recent years in favor of financial goals.
That's according to an annual survey conducted by FranklinCovey Products, maker of planners and other organizational tools. "Get organized" dropped from No. 4 to No. 9 in the survey's top 10 New Year's resolutions from 2010 to 2011 before dropping off all together for 2012.
Those pressing money issues are likely why organizational goals fall off so quickly in the new year. But it's important to remember that getting organized can make everything else better -- and make it easier to meet other resolutions.
If you really want to buck the trend and get organized in 2015, set specific goals, develop a time frame and break it down into smaller steps. Simply saying you want to "get organized" is too vague and will only set you up for failure.
No. 3: Money, money, money
If you doubt how much impact money has on New Year's resolutions, take one look at FranklinCovey's resolutions survey.
For 2011, financial goals made up three of the top five spots, including "improve financial situation" at No. 1. In 2012 it fell one spot to No. 2, behind only "become more physically fit."
But, as with "getting organized," most money resolutions fail because they are so vague. While it's easy to vow to "save more" or "spend less" on New Year's Eve, such a fuzzy goal is hard to measure by the end of the January -- let alone the end of the year.
Start with baby steps like setting up an automatic savings plan, even for as little as $5 a week. Or decide to cut out a specific luxury, such as that daily Starbucks run.
Small, easily attainable goals will make bigger changes more likely. Plus, don't be afraid to reward yourself -- within reason, of course -- for each small victory. You've earned it.
No. 2: Weight loss/exercise
If you've struggled with health-related resolutions in the past, you're not alone -- not by a long shot.
According to an American Psychological Association poll conducted in March 2010, fewer than one in five adults reported being very successful with health-related resolutions such as losing weight, exercising regularly or eating a healthier diet.
One of the reasons so many fail is because of the all-or-none approach we all tend to take with resolutions. We feel great when we stick to a diet or exercising daily, but one slip has us considering our resolution "broken."
However, there's no reason a minor lapse should turn into a full-blown collapse. Instead, get right back on track. If you slip up, don't wait until next Jan. 1 to start again, but start right back up again the next day.
That same line of thinking is valuable in breaking any habit, but especially applies to our last broken resolution …
No. 1: Stop smoking
If you're a smoker looking to kick the habit in the new year, the numbers can be daunting.
It's said that the average smoker quits eight to 10 times before succeeding and -- as if that's not enough -- the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the majority of quitters relapse within the first three months of quitting.
So, yeah, the deck is stacked, but don't light up just yet.
You're likely to fall off the wagon a few times along the way, so if you sneak a smoke after two weeks of abstaining, don't beat yourself up for your failure. Instead, celebrate those two weeks of progress and see if you can beat your new record.
As with any resolution you may make this year, just remember that if you fail, you're in good company as you get back on track.

Inspection Competition: Townships Find They Have Options
School Privatization Survey Shows Gains in Support Service Contracting
Change Coming to Michigan Highways: Public-Private Partnerships
Splitting the Health Insurance Bill
A Perfect Storm: Batten Down the Hatches or Drown
Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative
The Mackinac Center's Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative works to limit taxation, champion private-sector economic development and reduce government outlays through state spending cuts and privatization.
With Michigan's public school districts facing a decline in per-pupil funding, more districts are contracting out for at least one of the three major school support services — food, custodial and transportation — than ever before. The 2009 survey of school districts found that 44.6 percent of all Michigan school districts contract out for at least one of these services, a 5.6 percent increase over 2008. This year, new contracts alone are expected to save $6.9 million.
There are varying degrees and types of privatization. In its most general sense, privatization involves an increased private-sector role in the management of government assets or the provision of government services. Examples include the sale of government assets to private owners; private management of government assets under a contract with a private asset manager; private management of government services and service employees; and private production of government-mandated services through contracts with private vendors.

She is only allowed to have her dummy in her crib and in her carseat. She is 10 months know she isn't allowed to have it anyother place and will hand it to me. If I were you I would avoid the paci if you can. It is one less thing to wean from later and the comfort from nursing will be a greater benefit to your LO. Good luck

I use Avent and MAM. I had noticed an increase in fussiness and coming on/off breast once I introduced it though and was concerned about nipple confusion so be warned it's a possibility. My main issue I think was I couldn't tell so easily when she was hungry with teh pacifier and tried to feed her at the wrong times making her cross and me anxious. That said, she still is now more reluctant to feed when v overtired I think she won't make the effort so much since taking the pacifier and I've had to give the odd bottle. Due to my little one's terrible colick and screaming all waking hours I've had to go for the pacifier as it is the only thing that made her happy (even more effective than my constant nursing). For me her happiness was paramount.
