In this tutorial I will show how to create an Ubuntu/CentOS VirtualBox image with CUBRID Database under 5 minutes. In fact, you can use this solution to create multiple development environments (multiple VMs) with different versions of CUBRID installed on each of them, and all these under 5 minutes. It is as easy as:
$ vagrant up
Also I will show how to install PHP/PDO, Perl and Python drivers along the way. You will also see how to get CUBRID Web Manager working. Remember that all these is completed automatically without your intervention. If you want to see how to do the same and get CUBRID HA and SHARD configured, refer to:
Before I explain how and why the above works, I would like to first introduce the tools that you will need for this tutorial:
Install both of these tools in your OS (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X). This is all you will need to get started.
Vagrantfile is a configuration file used by Vagrant. It includes the instructions for Chef Solo (an open source systems integration framework) to install the necessary software on top of a base Vagrant box.
I have created this file as well as the whole directory structure for you. You can download cubrid-vagrant-1.8.0.tar.gz (234K) archive to have it (or check the latest version from Sf.net repo). It will provide you with a project directory structure to get started. When you extract it, you will see the following directory structure.
$ tar -zxf cubrid-vagrant.tar.gz $ ls cubrid-vagrant cookbooks/ apache2/ apt/ build-essential/ cubrid perl php python Vagrantfile
This project already includes seven cookbooks including the one for CUBRID (Github repo). You do not have to know how cookbooks work. They are for Chef Solo to know how to install CUBRID and other related software.
If you look into Vagrantfile, you will see the following configurations.
# -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : Vagrant::Config.run do |config| # All Vagrant configuration is done here. The most common configuration # options are documented and commented below. For a complete reference, # please see the online documentation at vagrantup.com. # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of. config.vm.box = "precise64" # Ubuntu 12.04 x64 #config.vm.box = "centos63" # CentOS 6.3 x64 # Assign this VM to a host-only network IP, allowing you to access it # via the IP.

All lines which precede with a hash (
#) symbol are comments.
Our Vagrantfile says to Chef Solo to:
If you do not want to install a particular package, simply comment it out.
If necessary, you can extend the above Vagrantfile by adding other cookbooks and their recipes. You can find cookbooks for most software at https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks. Simply download the necessary cookbook, and place it under cookbooks/ directory. Then refer to it by adding one of its recipes to a Vagrantfile. You can also search for cookbooks at the official community site at http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks.
Since we are ready to launch our VM and have Vagrant provision it, let's make our last stroke - indicate which OS to use. Vagrant community provides several base boxes:
There are dozens more community-made boxes at http://www.vagrantbox.es/. You can download other Linux distributions from there. For example, here is a CentOS box from the community.
In order to indicate which box to use, you need to run the following command specifying the URL where to download the box. In this tutorial we will use Ubuntu Server 12.04 x64 and name it precise64. This is an arbitrary name that we chose to distinguish this box from other boxes which we may potentially install later. This name is used in our Vagrantfile as a value for
config.vm.box configuration parameter.
vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box
You can add multiple boxes. They will be stored by Vagrant at ~/.vagrant/boxes directory for your later use.
Now, let's start Vagrant:
$ cd cubrid-vagrant $ vagrant up default VM already created. Booting if it's not already running... default Clearing any previously set forwarded ports... default Forwarding ports... default -- 22 => 2222 (adapter 1) default Creating shared folders metadata... default Clearing any previously set network interfaces... default Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... default Booting VM... default Waiting for VM to boot. This can take a few minutes. default VM booted and ready for use! default Configuring and enabling network interfaces... default Mounting shared folders... default -- v-root: /vagrant default -- v-csc-1: /tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-1/cookbooks default Running provisioner: Vagrant::Provisioners::ChefSolo... default Generating chef JSON and uploading... default Running chef-solo... ....
This will continue for a while. On my computer it takes less than five minutes to provision everything from the ground up.
As you can notice from Vagrantfile, we have set 10.11.12.13 as the IP address of our VM. You can use this IP to connect to CUBRID from CUBRID Query Browser or CUBRID Manager administration tools.
To test if Apache was successfully installed, navigate to http://10.11.12.13 in your browser. You should see Apache's default "It works!" message.
Recipe: demodb
Since, in Vagrantfile we have asked Chef Solo to install the demodb database, you may want to test your first database connection with it. The default database username is dba with an empty (
'') password.
Recipe: pdo_cubrid
Recipe: php_driver
Run the following command to see if CUBRID PHP and PDO driver have been successfully installed.
$ pecl list Installed packages, channel pecl.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State CUBRID 9.0.0.0001 stable PDO_CUBRID 9.0.0.0001 stable
Recipe: python_driver
Run the following command inside your VM to see if CUBRID Python driver has been successfully installed.
$ pip freeze CUBRID-Python==9.0.0.0001
Recipe: perl_driver
Run the following command inside your VM to see if CUBRID Perl driver has been successfully installed.
$ cpan -l DBD::cubrid 9.0.0.0001 9.000000001 CUBRID/DBD-cubrid-9.0.0.0001.tar.gz
Recipe: web_manager
If you added web_manager recipe, you can access CUBRID Web Manager at https://10.11.12.13:8282. Notice HTTPS and 8282 port. The default username and password to connect to CUBRID Manager Server are admin/admin. Once you login for the first time, CWM will prompt you to change the password. Visit CWM Wiki for more information and tutorials.
You can connect to this VirtualBox VM using a shortcut command like:
$ vagrant ssh
That's all! It will login under vagrant user automatically. You will have full access to the underlying OS, and can perform sudo operations with no password.
To gracefully power off the VM, run the following command:
$ vagrant halt
To start the VM, run the same command we ran to bring up this VM.
$ vagrant up
When you had enough time to play with this VM, you may now want to extend it by installing additional software, or changing the host IP, forwarding host ports to guest ports, or doing lots of other things. Once you have made changes, you need to reload your VM.
$ vagrant reload
This will simply reload your VM with the new configurations, new software, etc. If some of the software is already installed during the previous boot, Vagrant will not skip them. So, this process is relatively quick than building VM from scratch.
When you are done playing with this VM, you may finally decide to delete it. You can do this by running the following command:
$ vagrant destroy
Next time you hit
vagrant up command, it will rebuild the VM from ground up.
Now you're ready to develop your applications based on CUBRID Database. At any time, you can clone this project, including the Vagrantfile and cookbooks directory, and start up a fresh VM with different versions of CUBRID.
We have create two more related tutorials where you can learn how to create multiple VMs automatically with CUBRID installed on each of them and configure CUBRID HA and CUBRID SHARD. Refer to these tutorials.
If you have questions, feel free to ask at CUBRID Q&A site, forum, our Facebook page, or Twitter.
If you have issues or feature requests to cubrid-cookbook, create a new issue at its Github repo.

Another thing... look at the rear wing end plates, they look like they go along way down at the bottom, like they almost touch the ground!
Look at the new RB5 the exhaust cannot be seen coming out of the top of the rear end , where are the exhaust?? it looks different to the other cars so far released have Red Bull put the exhaust under the car or something??
I notice that the trailing edges flair out slightly creating another diffuser like effect! Very Nice!

Schwarzenegger vs. Shriver | Grounding the Governator
Contributing Monkie Sarah Backhouse
Topics of Interest private jet, Schwarzenegger
Published on June 10, 2008
Section G Living, Green Report / Media, Pop Culture / Celebrities
We Californians have had five years to come to grips with the fact that we have a triple threat (body builder/actor/businessman) as our head of state. His unique background has made for some colorful and contradictory behaviors. For example: he donates his $175,000 salary to charity but spends $38 million of his own money on a GulfStream IV jet; he wins a European Voice award for his Californian Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, yet he flies his private jet back and forth between Los Angeles and Sacramento every day; he's a Republican and yet his preferred method of transportation is private jet.
Hang on, that last one isn't a contradiction. Anyhoo, you get the point. Continue Reading / See Additional Photos

OK in a Pinch for Regular Beans
Posted by Reviewer1795485 on Aug 22, 2011
I was hoping this would be an ingredient in a homemade falafel mix - does not work for me, came out way too dense. Makes an ok hummus dip in a pinch if you have other fresh ingredients to make it tasty. My best falafel comes from using whole cooked beans that are then home-mashed.

Overcoming cancer on faith
His oncologist says being cancer-free after Stage 4 cancer is remarkable and rare.
By TERRI BRYCE REEVES
Published July 14, 2007
DUNEDIN - The doctor looked up from the test results and told Roy Livingstone he had cancer in both lungs and two lymph nodes.
It was Stage 4.
"What happens when you get to stage 5?" Livingstone asked.
The doctor pointed upward.
- - -
It was October 2004 when Livingstone heard the news.
He prepared to die.
He got his affairs in order, knowing each birthday, every holiday would likely be his last.
He willingly underwent radiation and chemotherapy treatments just to buy a bit more time and comfort.
His wife, Dorris, apparently had other plans.
"We're going to beat this," she said.
Apparently, she was right.
Nearly three years after receiving the grim news, Livingstone is cancer-free.
Dr. Hitesh Patel, his Clearwater oncologist, said such an outcome is "very rare" for stage 4 lung cancer, the last stage where the disease has spread to the second lobe or other parts of the body. It's especially remarkable considering Livingstone's age - 84.
"It's amazing," Patel said. "Generally, the two-year survival rate is about 20 percent and he's approaching three years, where it's about 5 percent."
Livingstone is not only surviving, but Patel confirmed, his recent CAT scan did not detect any active cancer in his body. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths for men and women in the United States.
Patel thinks it was Livingstone's fighting spirit and advancements in cancer treatment that led to his success.
"We have newer chemotherapies which are very effective and have almost no incidence of nausea," he said. "It can make a big difference in the quality of life for the elderly."
"Naturally, I was quite surprised," Livingstone said about the good news. "And thankful."
Still, he said he wonders about all the younger people who deserve a second lease on life and don't get it.
"Why me?" he asks.
- - -
On December 7, 2005, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the St. Petersburg Times profiled Livingstone, a World War II POW.
Even with death looming, his eyes sparkled as he recalled how he parachuted out of a spinning, burning plane, escaped from a German prison train, ran through cold forests half naked, and even posed as a girl in a romantic interlude to prevent detection.
The former staff sergeant with the Army Air Forces recalled facing starvation, beatings, interrogations, the flu and dysentery.
It was as a POW that he became a smoker -- cigarettes were about the only luxury they had. Soon, the habit became a heavy one -- he was smoking up to three packs of Lucky Strikes a day and continued the habit for 30 years.
Livingstone ran an ad agency, became publisher of several sports magazines and currently serves on the board of directors for a POW foundation. He met Dorris at a POW convention in 1999.
He has faced other life-threatening experiences: a serious car wreck; a hurricane when he was on a 90-foot schooner; triple bypass surgery 14 years ago.
Through it all, Livingstone said he never feared death.
"It's like a calm that comes over you."
Today, his lungs remain scarred and his immune system is compromised. But he walks, plays golf, and is working to gain back the 37 pounds he lost from three bouts of pneumonia.
Dorris, 75, said she knew all along her husband would beat the cancer.
"We've only had seven years of marriage. I have enough faith in God to know He wouldn't do this to us, not at this time."
Livingstone attributes his recovery to faith -- faith in his doctors, their treatments, family and friends, the power of prayer, and mostly, faith in the human spirit.
"There is something very special about the human spirit," he said. "It keeps you going, keeps you trying harder, keeps you alive. I feel it has just as much to say about what happens to us as any deity."

On February 19, the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs along with the Office of Global Food Security and the Foreign Service Institute will host the conference "Food Security and Minimizing Postharvest Loss." Government officials, representatives from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and foreign diplomatic corps will discuss the issue of postharvest loss, focusing on Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
Postharvest loss is collective food loss along the production chain, from harvest and handling to storage and processing to packing and transportation. Each year, roughly one-third of the food produced in the world is lost or wasted -- equal to around 1.3 billion tons. In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, $4 billion worth of grain is lost annually. Given that global food demand is expected to increase by 60 percent by 2050, the problem of postharvest loss must be addressed. The U.S. government has served as a global leader in this area, particularly through Feed the Future, President Obama's global hunger and food security initiative.
The causes of postharvest loss are complex and will vary depending on the weather, region, and crop. This conference will focus on postharvest loss in low-income countries and aim to identify promising research innovations and business practices that help reduce postharvest loss and facilitate collaboration across for-profit, government, and non-profit spheres.
You can join and follow the conversation on Twitter by using the hashtag #KeepWhatUReap.

The band is currently based out of the Hudson River Valley of New York State. —from SoundUnwound.
Nina De Fuego, by Buika. Compact Disk / Jazz. Listen to a Sample
Buika was born in Palma de Mallorca in 1972 where her family, originally from Guinea Ecuatorial, live. She learnt from her mother to listen to the great voices of jazz, and from the Spanish radio, the copla that rushed into her life.
She started singing at bars & pubs in Mallorca, recording several songs (house style) and collaborated with La Fura del Baus in "Ombra". In 2000, she dosen't remember exactly how or why, she arrived to Las Vegas where she worked in Casinos as the double of Tina Turner and The Supremes where she got an invitation from Rachelle Ferrell, (a jazz mademoiselle) to act at Club Blue Note.
When she moved to Madrid and recorded her first album, in it, she showed the never-ending possibility of her skills as a singer. We can't resume her career in a sentence but when she opens her mouth you realise there is no singer like her. --This biography was provided by the artist or their representative.
The Secret Sisters, by Secret Sisters. Compact Disk / Country Music. Listen to Sample
The Alabama-reared siblings, Laura and Lydia Rogers, whose new album is steeped in the familial camaraderie and mesmerizing harmonies braced by their Mussel Shoals roots, recorded their inaugural musical effort at Nashville's renowned Blackbird Studio. Produced by revered country knob-turner Dave Cobb (Waylon Jennings and Jamey Johnson), and executive-produced by T Bone Burnett, The Secret Sisters' sound captured on their debut has been described by Burnett as "as close to 'pure' as it gets, and I've been doing this for forty years."
The multiple-Grammy winner's enthusiasm for The Secret Sisters attests to their burgeoning stature as one of the year's rare musical finds: "In The Secret Sisters, you can hear the history of rural American music from the 1920s and a reverence for every musical genre since," stated T Bone Burnett. "Popular music requires the absolute honesty of The Secret Sisters, and I'm thrilled to be involved in presenting them to the world."
The Secret Sisters was recorded in a marathon two-week recording time frame. The producers also brought in vintage analogue recording equipment and vintage microphones, determined to properly capture The Secret Sisters' magical harmonizing and stunning vocal power. The duo's signature sound is evident on songs such as "Why Don't Ya Love Me," Why Baby Why," and the lilting anthem "Tennessee Me," among others.
Hailing direct from the fertile musical territory of Mussel Shoals, AL, The Secret Sisters co-wrote several of the songs on the new album. The girls' also re-worked found treasures, including the Frank Sinatra classic "Something Stupid," as well as enlisting the support of legendary country musicians such as pedal steel great Robbie Turner and piano legend Pig Robbins, among others.--This biography was provided by the artist or their representative.
Subiza, by Delorean. Compact Disk/ Popular Music. Listen to Sample
Along the white sands of Barcelona, a community of music makers have been combining the delirious house sounds of the sundazed club scene with the irresistible melodies of contemporary pop. At the forefront of this scene is Delorean, a Barcelona-via-Zarautz quartet whose uniquely Mediterranean sound has made them one of Spain's most popular independent bands. Taking cues from Spain's native Balearic beat, Madchester house, techno, R&B and indie rock, Delorean carves out a sunny sweet spot between the stage and the dance floor.
Their new album, Subiza - named after the bucolic Basque town in which it was recorded - is Delorean's defining work to date. Fusing relentless hands-in-the-air club rhythms with the shimmering melodies they've long toyed with, it drips with decades of dancefloor history while retaining Delorean's own adventurous voice. Densely layered digital production is sent back through analog tape to conjure a warm, whirling aesthetic that feels organic and fresh. Singer Ekhi Lopetegi colors the music with reflections on love, distance and longing.
With Subiza, Delorean have found the emotional core of the club music that has long consumed them, and made it something less rigid and very personal. A first listen is exhilarating, each subsequent listen a revelation. Without trafficking in false Utopias, Subiza is a soulful suite of blissed-out music that heralds the latent promise of a perfect summer. -- This biography was provided by the artist or their representative.

Dan Spiegle has had a long career in drawing comics based on movie and television characters, and has worked for companies like Dell, DC and Marvel. In his second year of high school, Spiegle sent a sample comic strip to King Features. It was politely turned down, but Spiegle vowed to become a cartoonist. Discharged from the navy in 1946, Spiegle enrolled at the Chouinard Art Institute of Los Angeles.
Hoppalong Cassidy
In 1949, he was introduced to movie actor Bill Boyd, who was looking for an artist to draw a strip based on his Hopalong Cassidy interpretation. Spiegle got the job and 'Hopalong Cassidy' started appearing the same year. Spiegle continued drawing the strip until its demise in 1955.
Penn and Chris
He then tried his hand at a pirate strip, 'Penn and Chris', but without success. In 1956, Spiegle started a long collaboration with Dell Publications, working on many of the company's realistic movie and television tie-in titles until the late 1970s.
Soul On Fire (The Saga of the Swamp Thing #2, 1982)
He illustrated many westerns, such as 'Little Beaver', 'Dale Evans', 'Spin and Marty', 'Buffalo Bill Jr', 'Tombstone Territory', and 'Lawman', as well as adaptation of live-action Disney films, such as 'Old Yeller', 'The Parent Trap' and 'Mary Poppins'. He also did fillers and issues of 'Space Family Robinson', 'Magnus Robot Fighter', 'Maverick', 'Tarzan', 'Brothers of the Spear', 'Flipper' and 'Lassie'. When Russ Manning left Dell in 1967, Spiegle took over the 'Korak' title.
The Black Hole (1980)
Spiegle began additional collaborations with DC and Marvel in the 1970s. He worked with many of the famous DC characters, like 'Batman', 'Unknown Soldier', 'Blackhawk', 'Tomahawk', Jonah Hex' and 'Teen Titans' until the early 1990s. For Marvel, he did a lot of work for Hanna-Barbera features ('Scooby Doo', 'Captain Caveman'), as well as titles like 'Spider-Man' and 'Hollywood Superstars'. He did a number of film adaptations for the company, including 'Lord of the Apes', 'Greystroke' and several Disney stories like 'Pocahontas' and 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'.
Brothers of the Spear
In the 1980s, Spiegle worked on a number of Eclipse titles, such as 'Crossfire', 'Destroyer Duc', and 'Whodunnit?'. Besides comic books, Spiegle has illustrated books with 'Masters of the Universe' and 'Gobots', and worked on the 'Star Trek' (1980) and 'Terry and the Pirates' (1996) newspaper strips for King Features and Tribune Media Services.
Scooby Doo
Spiegle has been active throughout the 1990s, when he did 'Elvira' for Claypool Comics, back covers for Dark Horse and 'Legends of Nascar' for the Canadian Vortex Comics, besides his continuing contributions to Marvel and DC. Spiegle's daughter, Carrie Spiegle, is a letterer for several comics companies since 1977.

Having recently come into a small pile of 2012 8582 202, I am going to try and do a storage experiment. Two cakes are going to get dried the heck out (put outside in the extreme low humidity), and then stored in a sealed plastic bag; one marked to open in 2017 one in 2022. Two will be sealed in normal humidity (as it exists in my tearoom), again in plastic bags, again same aging. A final two will be sealed in with very high humidity before sealing, again, same aging. The rest will just go on the shelf/box with everything else.
We'll see how things go in a few years. Any thoughts?

Staff Pick from THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER
Jason Simos, Director of Publicity and Media Relations for Focus Features, picks our "Clip of the Week":
In Blake Edwards' classic 1975 comedy THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER – which was long out of print before being reissued for the Focus Features Spotlight Series on DVD – it's hard to pick a favorite scene. The one in the Clip of the Week is the first one in the movie that brings two of the movie's stars together; since the movie was reuniting Team Panther for the first time in over a decade, screenwriter/director Edwards and co-screenwriter Frank Waldman smartly layered in a dialogue-driven scene early in the picture that would reintroduce returning audiences – and also introduce new audiences – to the hysterical disconnect between Sûreté colleagues Charles Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) and Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers). The give/take gets going immediately after Edwards smash-cuts from a sequence wherein Clouseau – temporarily demoted from Inspector – was oblivious to a bank being robbed; Chief Inspector Dreyfus calls him out on the gaffe – or tries to. Who among us hasn't had a workplace conversation like this one?

January 17 - 20, 2006 WIC Update
SUBJECT: Farmers' Market Nutrition Program and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program Update
SUBJECT: WIC Office to get Automated Phone System
SUBJECT: Upcoming HANDS System Change for "Unknown" Race and/or Ethnicity
SUBJECT: Upcoming HANDS System Change "Number of Days WIC Food Instrument is Valid to be Redeemed"
SUBJECT: Corrections to WIC Coordinator's Listing
SUBJECT: Change in HANDS Trainings
SUBJECT: WIC Forms and Brochures on the DHSS Website
SUBJECT: Birth Defects Prevention Brochures
- Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) Update: As many of you know, Missouri will not have the FMNP and SFMNP this year. USDA requires that states provide match in order to receive funding for the farmers' market nutrition programs. The state funds for the FMNP match and SFMNP administration were not included in the signed State Fiscal Year 2006 budget for the Department. This left Missouri with no funding to match the federal grant dollars; this meant we would be out of compliance with the USDA grant requirements. Without funds coming from another source, e.g., locally provided funds or other non-federal grants, the state would have to discontinue the program. Several efforts were made to obtain funding from other sources. While some funding was available, it was not adequate in amount to cover the match requirement. We did not apply for federal funding for FMNP and SFMNP for fiscal year 2006 as match funds were not available. If you have any questions, please contact Lyn Konstant email@example.com.
- WIC Office to get Automated Phone System: The State WIC office in Jefferson City will be implementing a new automated phone system in the near future. Callers will hear a short menu and select an appropriate option. The purpose of the system is to get the caller routed quickly to the appropriate staff person who can answer their question. As part of the new system, staff will have voice mail so the caller can leave a detailed message if they desire. Attached is the menu for the phone system. As soon as the exact implementation date is known, we will notify local WIC providers. If you have any questions, please contact Vicki Franklin email@example.com.
- A change will be made in HANDS so that when an agency is attempting to print food instruments for a participant who has an "unknown" race and/or ethnicity in the common area, the agency will be able to correct the unknown on the screen and print food instruments immediately. This change will be made to the H651/H652/H653/H654 food instrument print screens. Currently, the agency must call the WIC HANDS Help Desk to have this change made.
The projected date for this change in HANDS is February 2006. Instructions and the actual implementation date will be sent in a Monday e-mail one week before the change is put into HANDS.
If you have any questions about this upcoming change, please e-mail Melissa Seaver at email@example.com
- In order to comply with USDA requirements for all State WIC Programs, the number of days a WIC food instrument is valid to be redeemed will be changed from the current 36 days to a total of 30 days.
Effective April 1, 2006, all food instruments (checks) printed through HANDS will reflect this change.
All bi-monthly food instruments printed in March 2006 for April 2006 will show the current period of 36 days from first date to use (FDTU) through last date to use (LDTU). All food instruments printed on or after April 1, 2006 will have a total valid period of 30 days FDTU through LDTU.
Please assure all WIC staff are aware of this upcoming change so your WIC participants can be educated accordingly. Additional reminders and important information concerning this change will follow in upcoming Monday morning e-mails.
If you have questions, please contact Melissa Seaver at email@example.com or 1-800-392-8209.
- There are two corrections to the WIC Coordinator Listing sent in the Monday e-mail on Jan. 3, 2006. Nancy Treu, not Elizabeth Moss, should have been listed as the WIC Coordinator for Livingston County and the e-mail address of Amy Callico, Family Care Health Centers, was not included in the listing. Her e-mail address is email@example.com. If you have other corrections or have questions, please contact Mark Davis at 1-800-392-8209 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Due to an increase in the number of local WIC providers who are implementing direct entry, a change will be made to the required HANDS training. This is not a new or additional training. It will be integrated into the current three-day HANDS training.
HANDS training is required for anyone who keys data and/or prints food instruments (refer to ER# 3.01500). HANDS training will still be required, however, the time spent in HANDS may be shortened depending upon the job duties. Mainframe access given to a WIC employee will also be dependant upon job duties.
Following is how it will be determined:
If an employee's duties will be to only key data, then WIC Mainframe Access will be granted to key only data and attendance at the first full day of a HANDS training will be required.
If an employee's duties will be to key data and print food instruments, then WIC Mainframe Access will be granted to key data and print food instruments and attendance at the full 3-day HANDS training will be required.
If an employee attends the keying only portion of HANDS training and later needs access to print food instruments, they will be required to attend the printing portion of a HANDS training, which will be 2 days.
There are 10 spaces (total) available for each HANDS training. Registration for HANDS training is first come, first serve.
This change will take effect with the April 12-14, 2006 HANDS class.
The pre-keying packets implemented with the January 2006 training will remain as a part of the HANDS training for everyone attending.
If there are any questions about HANDS trainings, please contact Melissa Seaver at 800-392-8209 or e-mail at email@example.com.
- Forms and resource materials are posted on the DHSS websites.
Items currently available on the web or will soon be available are:

If you have any questions, please contact Takako Tagami at 1-800-392-8209 or e-mail email@example.com.
- The LWPs will be sent a packet containing Birth Defects Prevention brochures during the week of January 17, 2006. As you know through the Friday Facts (December 30, 2005), January is Missouri Birth Defects Prevention Month. The purpose is to increase awareness about birth defects, the nation's leading cause of infant death and childhood disability. According to the Missouri Birth Defects Registry, about 5.9 percent of all babies born in Missouri have one or more birth defects. While many birth defects cannot be predicted or prevented, neural tube defects, which affect the brain and spinal cord, often can be prevented with folic acid, a B Vitamin. When taken before pregnancy and in the early weeks of pregnancy, folic acid can prevent 50 to 70 percent of neural tube defects, the most common being spina bifida. Additional information about birth defects awareness and folic acid education can be found on the DHSS web site. For additional information, please contact Leslie Seifert in the Section of Healthy Families and Youth, Division of Community and Public Health at 751-6266 or email@example.com.

Coughlin, Foley Have Heated Talks Over Wanted Cuts
MAYVILLE – The Public Safety Committee would like to see a 10 percent budget reduction from the sheriff, district attorney, public defender and emergency services.
However, those entities say no way.
Sheriff Joe Gerace, District Attorney David Foley and Public Defender Nathaniel Barone met with the committee Wednesday to get a jump start on the budget. In May, the Public Safety Committee sent a letter to the three, as well as Julius Leone, county fire coordinator and director of EMS, who was unable to attend Wednesday's meeting. The letter requested the four present a proposed budget for 2014 for each department, with a target of a 10 percent reduction from their 2013 adopted budget.
The letter also said if the men were unable to present a 10 percent reduction, the committee would expect a detailed explanation and then enter into a discussion of recommended cost-saving measures.
Foley presented first to the committee, offering a PowerPoint presentation of why his office would be unable to take a 10 percent reduction to its budget.
"I have been the district attorney since 2005," Foley said. "In that time, we have attempted to make whatever cuts possible."
According to Foley, the number of crimes his office has prosecuted is up 15 percent from 2005, while he has 22 percent fewer staff members than in 2008. Additionally, he said homicides his office has prosecuted have tripled since 2006.
Foley also made comparisons between Chautauqua County and other similarly-sized counties in New York, regarding the number of assistant district attorneys and cases.
Following his presentation, Bill Coughlin, D-Fredonia, began grilling Foley about the salaries of his assistant district attorneys, as well as whether an investigator could be shared with New York State Police or the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office. The grilling resulted in a slight altercation between the men, and Foley refused to answer Coughlin's questions. Paul Wendel, R-Lakewood, called for the discussion to end, at which point Foley left the room.
Barone moved to present to the committee next, and was stopped by committee Chairman Bob Duff, R-Sheridan, who had apparently forgotten the men had been required to attend the meeting.
"You have no business whatsoever, as far as I'm concerned, to say that a 10 percent cut is something we need," Duff said. "We in Chautauqua County need these people."
Duff was reminded that the committee had invited Foley, Barone and Gerace, and Barone was allowed to continue. Barone echoed Foley, stating that his office could not afford a 10 percent cut.
"If you're in the public defender's office, you're not there, generally speaking, for the money," Barone said. "You're there because you enjoy the work, and that's what it's all about. I'm not complaining about that. What I am complaining about is asking to try to reduce costs even more than where we are."
Coughlin again began the discussion he started with Foley, regarding the investigator. He also questioned Barone about preliminary hearings and suggested ways to cut costs.
Gerace spoke next to the committee, also stating that the sheriff's office would not be able to afford a 10 percent cut.
"A 10 percent cut would be about $2.1 million," Gerace said. "To say the least, that would be devastating to the safety in Chautauqua County."
Gerace recommended going over each line of his budget with legislators, so they would see where money is being spent and be able to make recommendations on where money could be cut.
Following the meeting, John Hemmer, R-Westfield, told The Post-Journal he would be willing to go over budgets line-by-line to truly learn how money is being spent and gain a better understanding of how departments spend.

Sony Computer Entertainment on Tuesday at Gamescom trade-show in Cologne, Germany, unveiled the new PlayStation 3 slim version that will eventually succeed the current flavour of the console and will also be sold at lower price-points: $299, €299 or ¥29 999 all around the world. The move will allow Sony to sell more game consoles.
Sony PlayStation 3 Slim will feature 120GB hard disk drive as well as will utilize 34% less power compared to the currently available. It is unclear whether the reduction of power consumption is a result of different components inside the PS3 slim or optimization of the current technology. The device retains slot-loading Blu-ray disc optical drive, wireless networking, Bluetooth and other key-technologies found in the original console.
According to claims of Sony Computer Entertainment, the slimmer version of the PlayStation 3 is 32% smaller compared to the original PS3, therefore, it may be more suitable for those, who did not like the relatively large size of the first-generation PlayStation 3.
Sony PlayStation 3 Slim will be available in September. In the meantime, Sony will continue to sell its PS3 80GB at discounted price-points of $299, €299 or ¥29 999.
At press time almost no exact details were available concerning the PlayStation 3 Slim. In particular, it is not certain whether the device features different chips inside and whether any capabilities have been sacrificed to make the video game system smaller.

Secretary Clinton and Georgian Prime Minister Nikoloz Gilauri delivered remarks today at the U.S.-Georgia Charter on Strategic Partnership omnibus meeting. Secretary Clinton said, "The relationship between Georgia and the United States stands on a foundation of shared values and common interests. The Charter that our countries signed in January 2009 has given us a framework for further developing our cooperation. And today, I want to reiterate our commitment to working together to advance Georgia's security and democracy.
"The United States will not waver in its support for Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity. That support is a core principle of our Charter on Strategic Partnership, and it is fundamental to our bilateral relationship.
"The United States remains committed to Georgia's aspirations for membership in NATO, as reflected in the Alliance's decisions in Bucharest and Strasbourg-Kehl. We strongly support Georgia's efforts related to its Annual National Program, which promotes defense reform and guides cooperation with NATO. And we continue to support Georgia's efforts on defense reform and improving defense capabilities, including NATO interoperability and Georgia's contributions to ISAF operations in Afghanistan.
"We are extremely grateful for Georgia's contributions to NATO's efforts in Afghanistan. Seven hundred and fifty Georgian soldiers in ISAF are serving shoulder-to-shoulder with U.S. Marines in Helmand Province, with another 200 serving with French troops. They are helping Afghans build a more secure, stable, and prosperous future, and working to safeguard our common security against the threat of terrorism. And we were deeply saddened by your loss last week of the four Georgian soldiers and by the casualties that you endured earlier. I want to express our condolences and solidarity with the Georgian people in the face of our shared sacrifice and loss.
"...We care about Georgia's security and Georgia's democracy. We support the Georgian people in your aspirations to build a better future. And we appreciate this opportunity to strengthen that close relationship at many levels in both of our governments to build relationships among people, not just between governments, and to support the kind of changes that are occurring in Georgia that we, in turn, can then trumpet to our own people here, including investors who we would urge to take a close look at Georgia and others in our country who are standing by and urging on and cheering for the changes that Georgia is making and the role model that you are becoming."
You can read the full transcript here.
Alexey in Russia writes:
"We continue to call on Russia to end its occupation of Georgian territory, withdraw its forces, and abide by its other commitments under the 2008 ceasefire agreements."
God! Where has this lady seen our troops in Georgia?! You, guys, keep stating this again and again. Aren't you tired of it?
Patrick in Maryland writes:
Okay,let me see,this was more of a share support talk . I really don't think they were saying anything bad about Russia.
My thought's are: Russia has been trying to be a good partner with the US. and many other countries. We are working with Russia on many new businesses, like air travel and both Russia and the United States are working on a new (Start togethere.:)
This discussion was more about showing support for Georgia and caring about the citizen they lost in Afghanistan.
Anyway , thats what i think.:)

LOVE LOVE this product, tastes like caramell, dark raw cane sugar or light muscuvado sugar. It' sooo freaking good. It has really low GI index so it doesn't affect your blood sugar which is nice. Plus almost no calories and it's loaded with tons of minerals and vitamines. BUY it and sprinkle over yoghurt, buckwheat or oatmeal porridge. Use it in cookies, desserts and anywhere else you normally would like to use white sugar.
We eat a gluten free diet and I bake often. We all love this sugar. I am usually very affected by sugar and can only use those with a low glycemic index, so palm sugar is perfect for me. I use it to replace both brown and white sugar. I've even made confectionery sugar by taking one cup of palm sugar and 1 TBS of sweet rice flour and putting it in the blender for 20 seconds. Thanks for carrying this iherb and at a great price.
Awesome stuff
Posted by 5356557783217774522 on Jan 09, 2017
This one is less strong than Wholesome Sweeteners' CS. Very light flavor and be warned, it's not really 1:1 replacement for cane sugar. You need about half a tbsp extra. But I'm hooked! Great stuff.
taste good

Great replacement for brown sugar
Posted by 5553114601763168646 on Jan 03, 2017
I use this coconut sugar in baked goods all the time. I find it a little dark and heavy to use as a white sugar replacement, but it seems fine if I replace half the white sugar with it or replace brown sugar with it.
Great sugar for kids!
Posted by Reviewer2630844 on Jan 01, 2017
Very nutritious and yummy!
Coconut Sugar YUMMY!
Posted by 4631999479000737461 on Dec 29, 2016
An excellent sugar to use for all your baking needs. It also has a low glycemic index. There is no sugar crash. Excellent product

Suarez committed to Liverpool
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez insists he is committed to staying at Anfield for years to come.
- Related Content
Speculation has circulated linking the Uruguayan with a big-money move to Manchester City, who have distanced themselves from the rumours, while Reds manager Brendan Rodgers dismissed the prospect.
And Suarez, 25, backed up that position by underlining his commitment, claiming he had already realised his ambitions by joining a club of Liverpool's stature.
Suarez, who had four years remaining on his contract when he signed up to improved terms in the summer, told Liverpoolfc.com: "I have a very long contract here and it's a dream come true to be playing at a club like Liverpool because, as I've said, as a boy I dreamt of playing for a team like this.
"Now I'm here it's all about enjoying myself and trying to be here for as many years as I can, because I'm at a club where I'm very happy, my family is happy, I've got fantastic team-mates and a manager from whom I'm learning so much.
"As a player, it's vital to have the backing of your manager and so I think that the confidence Brendan is showing in myself and the team as a whole is very important and it's down to us to repay that trust out there on the pitch.
"Let's hope we can keep improving. I'm working well and I'm very happy at a club where I've always wanted to be. At a club to whom I'm very grateful for the trust everyone is showing in me, a club with amazing supporters and team-mates who are all great people.
"The other important thing is that the squad is very united. In spite of not getting the results we would have liked, we have a great spirit of togetherness and let's hope we can continue to pick up points."
Rodgers said at his press conference today that Suarez's best form is still to come and the manager is confident it will be witnessed with Liverpool as he seeks to build his team around the striker.
"He is not for sale. There will be no bidding war. He's staying here," Rodgers said.
"I don't have that fear (his head will be turned) with Luis. He has already shown in the summer his commitment to the club, he's signed a new deal.
"I think you've seen up until this point he's in a great moment in his footballing life here at Liverpool; he is scoring goals and working well and he's very happy here.
"He's certainly not someone we want to sell or move on. If we lost Luis then we've got no strikers.
"He is a very important member of our team and I think you see he is really enjoying playing in this way of working and obviously his goals count for that.
"We want to continue to build the group around him. We are in the very early stages of trying to form something at the club and Luis is an integral part of that."
Of Suarez's 11 goals this season, eight have come in 11 Barclays Premier League matches, making him joint top scorer with Manchester United's Robin van Persie.
Suarez's league tally since joining Liverpool from Ajax for £22.75million in January 2011 is impressive with 24 goals in 55 matches.
Rodgers also expressed confidence that contract discussions with 17-year-old Raheem Sterling, who made his England debut in the friendly against Sweden on Wednesday, would be resolved "without issue".
"I think Raheem himself, his representatives and his family know he is at the best club he could ever be at in terms of his development, short and long-term," Rodgers said.
With Suarez seemingly settled, the South American is urging supporters of rival clubs to treat him fairly.
He has frequently been accused of diving and last season was found guilty by the Football Association of racially abusing Patrice Evra during a game against Manchester United, bringing about an eight-match ban.
Suarez said: "I think you need to really know a person before you criticise them or speak out about them.
"I think sometimes the opposition fans are more interested in booing Luis Suarez for the problems he had or because he's gone down for something than they are in their own team.
"I think that each set of supporters should just worry about their own team and leave their opponents well alone, just like the Liverpool fans do.
"I think our fans are the perfect example and always show how to help the team by wanting to get behind the side. It doesn't matter who the opposition are, the only thing they want is for their team to win by giving a lift to the players with their support.
"That's what the other clubs' fans need to do, get behind their own side and not just think about Suarez, because all that does is motivate me even more to do well."

Stockton Police Dept. adds two officers
- June 20, 2013
STOCKTON - Officers Anthony Castro and Diljeet Sekhon were sworn in Monday as the newest members of the Stockton Police Department, bringing the number of sworn officers to 331.
That's the same number the department had in October when it swore in nine officers, kicking off a spate of new hires. Rather than seeing the numbers go up, the agency has been grappling with a revolving door as more senior officers retire, join other agencies or leave for undisclosed reasons.
On their first day on the job, Castro and Sekhon reported to Capt. Scott Meadors in the Field Operations Division.
Castro graduated in November 2011 from American River College Police Academy in Sacramento. He attended Sierra College, earning an associate of arts degree in administration of justice. Prior to joining the department, he worked as a chef at La Provence in Roseville.
Sekhon graduated Dec. 14 from the South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium. He earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from California State University, East Bay, and previously worked at Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland.

- Most importantly, you need cold ingredients. This is where most bars fail. Store your vodka and gin in the freezer. Store your vermouth in the refrigerator (it's a wine, so it will freeze up solid if you put it in the freezer). You don't necessarily need to store your cocktail glasses in the freezer, although I do. If you put them in the ice tray about a half hour before you need them, you'll have nicely frosted glasses.
- Fresh, perfectly cracked, ice. Not ice that's been sitting in your freezer for months, slowly desiccating away, absorbing strange odors. And you need it cracked just the right size. Too big, and it won't chill things nicely. Too small, and it will water down your drink. Up until recently, I found the best tool for doing this was the Lewis Ice Bag. You put ice cubes in the heavy canvas bag, give it a few whacks with the wooden club, and you have correctly sized ice pieces. You can easily control how big or small the pieces are, just by how many times you whack it. It comes in a nice container, with some classic cocktail recipes, including the martini one I now use. Electric ice crushers don't work very well, as they tend to make the ice chips too small - more like slush than ice cubes, which means they melt too rapidly. But now I use the ice machine in our new refrigerator, which makes some pretty good crushed ice. Maybe a tad too small, but servicable nonetheless for making the perfect martini.
- Top shelf ingredients. Because there is nothing masking the taste of the liquor in a martini, you have to use great booze. We're a Bombay Sapphire family here. There just isn't enough taste to regular vodka to make it all that interesting as a martini. Tanqueray is a solid gin, especially the No. Ten label. However, gin seems to be affecting us a little more and for a little longer, as we get older, so moderation is the key here. Vodka doesn't seem to have this effect on us, so it has become a preferred mixer. I'm not nearly as wedded to a premium vodka brand as I am to Sapphire as a gin. We've done some taste testings in the past, and while you could taste some differences, it was more that - a difference - and not something that would create a preference either way. I've enjoyed all the big names in premium vodkas, like Belevedre, Grey Goose (what is it with these liquor web sites? Addicted to Flash and asking a stupid question about how old you are, like they are pron peddlers or something), and the like. I also like Three Olives Vodka, for something that tastes great and is a good price.
- The vermouth you use is amazingly important, despite the fact the the modern martini uses very very little (the Winston Churchill martini recipe calls for gin in a cocktail glass, and then look at a bottle of vermouth:-). This is especially true for a vodka martini, with the (dry!) vermouth adding most if not all of the flavor. I'm a Noilly Prat man myself. Remember, vermouth is a wine, so you need to keep it cold but it can also get old. Don't let it sit around in your refrigerator!
- Okay, now that you have your ingredients, it is time to make the drink. Put the perfectly cracked ice pieces into your cocktail shaker. I love to collect cocktail shakers, but I really only use the standard stainless steel tall cup, topped with a glass mug. Like James Bond, I like my martinis shaken not stirred. I used to stir it, but then I tried this recipe from the Lewis Ice Bag and have been shaking it ever since. Pour your cold vermouth into the shaker, give it a couple of vigorous shakes and then strain out all the vermouth you can get out, leaving just coated ice in there. That'll be plenty of vermouth.
- Now add your vodka or gin that you've pulled from the freezer. Don't be stingy, add plenty, because you have nice big cocktail glasses, chilling in the freezer right? Now shake it again, until your hand gets too cold to hold the steel cup. Set it aside to let it rest.
- While the martini is resting in the cocktail shaker, get out your olives. I don't like fancy olives. Give me a nice giant, pimento-stuffed green olive any day. All the other kinds add more flavors I don't want in my martini - anchovy, pepperoncini, etc. I have to admit, we did try almond-stuff olives last night. I figured the almonds wouldn't add flavor to the drink anyway. I still prefer standard ones. Put the olives (don't be stingy here either!) on a paper towel and squeeze. Try to dry them off. Again, you don't want olive brine to ruin your perfect martini, do you? While some like a "dirty" martini, where you actually add extra brine on purpose, the very idea of mangling a perfect cocktail like this makes my skin crawl. Stick the olives on a colorful toothpick and set them aside.
- Take your chilled cocktail glasses out of the freezer. You want a clear glass, so you can enjoy the transparent perfection of your creation. Don't hide it behind a colored cocktail glass please! Now strain your martini into the cocktail glasses. Don't worry about a few ice chips getting in there; that just adds to the beauty of the whole thing.
- Gently place your toothpick of olives into your cocktail glass and bask in the perfection that is a martini. Take a sip. It should almost take your breath away, even a vodka one. Freezing cold on the tongue, yet burning down the throat. Ahhhh, I can taste it now!
The Rain vodka martini was amazingly smooth. Too smooth perhaps, going so far as to have almost no character at all, even for a vodka martini. The drinking was good, though. The almonds in the olives were pretty bitter, but thankfully didn't add any taste to the martini.
The martinis made from Tito's Handmade Vodka had all the character you could possibly hope for from a vodka martini. There was a fullness on the palate that I don't remember from other vodkas. I'm looking forward to trying another martini from Texas again real soon.

Q & A: The Sandak (Part VIII)
Latest update: January 15th, 2015
Question: I was at a brit where the father and grandfather of the boy argued over who should be sandak. The grandfather had served as sandak once before, but he persisted and, as they say, "might makes right." I am curious as to your view on this matter.
M. Renkin
(Via E-Mail)
Answer: The Midrash (Tehillim pg. 723) contains the term "sandikus," a Greek word meaning "companion of child" or "advocate." Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Spira of Dinov explains that sandak is an acronym of "sanegor na'aseh din kategor – the defense emerges victorious vis-à-vis the prosecutor," referring to the brit's function as a protection from Satan.
The Rema (Yoreh De'ah 265:11) writes that the sandak is given the first honor of being called up to the Torah, even before the mohel. The Rema explains that the sandak is compared to a kohen who offers incense in the Beit Hamikdash. All kohanim wished to benefit from the blessing of the incense, which enriched the one who offered it. Therefore, a lottery was established to assure that all had an equal opportunity to perform it. Similarly, it is customary not to give the role of sandak to someone more than once – at least not for two members of the same family.
In his new sefer, Shu't HaShulchani, Rabbi Enkin cites several authorities who argue that a person may serve as sandak twice; he states that the custom not to do so certainly does not apply to relatives. In fact, a father shouldn't hesitate to serve as sandak for all of his children should he so desire. Moreover, the practice not to serve as sandak more than once is not found in the Talmud and therefore is not truly binding.
Returning to the original question about the dispute over who would serve as sandak, we quoted. Proverbs 3:17: "Deracheha darkei noam vechol netivoteha shalom." A mitzvah should bring about pleasantness and peace; if it doesn't, it has not been fulfilled properly. Therefore, strife over the sandika'ot detracts from the full fulfillment of that mitzvah.
The Mechaber (supra, Yoreh De'ah 260:1) states that the right to bestow any honor or segment of the mitzvah of brit belongs to the father alone. Thus, a grandfather may not "grab" this honor for himself if it goes against the father's wishes. Even the mitzvah of kibud av has limits, and a parent is prohibited from insisting on specific honors from his child.
Rabbi Moshe Stern, the Debreciner Rav, zt"l (Responsa Ba'er Moshe vol. 1, 60:9), discusses a case in which an individual accepted sandika'ot, only to be faced with his father's strong opposition. A son is not duty-bound to accede to his father's demands in such a case. The Knesset Hagedolah writes that if a father tells his son to disregard a mitzvah without offering an
We examined the Shulchan Aruch's description of the brit milah ceremony, including the blessings recited by the mohel and father. The Rema adds that if the father is not present at the brit, the sandak recites his blessing instead of him.
The Mechaber and the Rema assume that a father does not perform the milah himself, but rather appoints another (the mohel) to do the mitzvah on his behalf. Yet a mishnah (Kiddushin 29a) lists circumcision among the mitzvot that are incumbent upon a father to do for his son. Clearly it is preferable that a father circumcise his child himself; if so, why shouldn't he serve as sandak as well?
The Divrei Malkiel (Responsa Vol. 4:86) describes the role of the sandak as assisting the mohel by securing the feet of the infant, thus sharing in the mitzvah of the brit. This collaboration assures that a milah performed on Shabbat is not in violation of it. As a mishnah (Shabbos 92b) explains, an act normally done by a single person – or able to be done by a single person – but is in fact done by two people together renders neither one liable for that act.
Since the mohel needs the sandak, though, the Mechaber (Y.D. 266:14) wonders why a brit is allowed to be done on Shabbat. It is an act that requires two people. The Divrei Malkiel offers two solutions: first, the wound inflicted by the mohel in the act of the milah would automatically override the violation of Shabbat; and second, since the sandak's role is ancillary, a brit is not considered an act that requires two people. The mohel and sandak share in the mitzvah but it is not really a "two man job" and thus a brit may be performed on Shabbat.Rabbi Yaakov Klass
