Founded in 1997, this innovative London puppet theatre company is known for its contemporary reworking of the traditional Japanese art of Bunraku, a complex, dramatic form of puppetry in puppeteers perform in full view of the audience. Tonight's critically acclaimed program, The Table, is a triptych of humorously absurd, technically accomplished pieces inspired by Beckett, the Bible, and Ikea. The first takes place on a simple table and features a cantankerous 2-foot-tall puppet experiencing an existential crisis. The second piece is a short interlude of striking visual illusions, followed by a delirious crime thriller told entirely through pieces of A4 paper covered in text and images. Reviewers have praised The Table for combining a strikingly minimal aesthetic with deadpan humor and warmth. Ages 14+.

Ugly Diamonds
My husband bought this for me to replace my wedding band for our anniversary to compliment my three-stone diamond engagement ring. The band on this ring is very nice, but the diamonds are very, very dull and yellow. Next to my engagement ring they look even worse. In the sunlight it is especially bad. I suppose if you were to wear this ring alone it would be acceptable, but when compared to a higher quality diamond these really look sub-par.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The picture makes the diamonds look much clearer than they actually are. The diamonds are actually very dingy and yellow.
- How accurate was the sizing? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The band itself is very nice but the diamonds are not nice.

South Sudanese Independence Day
Today we enter our 5th year since our beloved country first celebrated Independence Day, yet in many ways we are still striving for a better tomorrow.
We are still battling and fighting for what should be our basic human right – to live in peace and harmony. We are still struggling to move forward and too many of us feel displaced in our own home, and land.
Still, I believe we must cling on to hope and that is something no one can take away from us. We must hold on to our faith and to each other. Now, more than ever, we need to stay strong and united because it is only through unity that we can become the peace we are longing for in our country.
If we must strive, then I encourage you to strive for knowledge so that we can find ways to improve each other and ourselves. We must become the helping hand that we need and despite whatever pressure that life brings us, we must learn to triumph over our trials. We must not allow our circumstance and the battles that ravage us daily to define us as a nation.
Today, I pray and urge all my South Sudanese brothers and sisters to never lose hope or sight that our beloved country can be restored. I pray for God to breathe His peace over us and to lift us up in strength so we can stand in one accord towards a better future.
Welcome to my new blog!
Firstly, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! I'm so glad you've stopped by. I recently felt a need to create a focused space to post my art and design – which, as my friends and family are well aware of, I am most passionate about.
In my everyday journey as a Courier driver, I stumble upon the most unique and captivating sights, and the artist in me cannot help but stop to marvel and capture what I see. Over time, I have taken many photos of various scenes and everyday life all around Melbourne, as well as shots of businesses and developments that I came across.
This is what you will find in this blog - art, design, photographs & other works.. I plan to use this blog to share a small part of who I am and what I have gone through in my life. I would also be more than happy to answer any questions you may have - that I feel would also benefit others.
Thanks for visiting and have a nice day!

This post originally appeared on the Huffington Post.
The Supreme Court announced today that it will decide on the constitutionality ofsevere restrictions adopted in Texas that threaten to make it virtually impossible for many women there to obtain safe and legal abortions.
Coupled with the Court's recent decision to hear cases on whether certain employers can effectively deny their female employees the contraceptive coverage they are entitled to receive under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the 2015-16 Supreme Court term could well become the most significant for women's reproductive rights since the Court upheld the right to choose in Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992 -- and almost as significant as when the Court overturned a law banning contraception 50 years ago in Griswold v. Connecticut.
The Texas case, Whole Woman's Health v. Cole, concerns a law imposing restrictions on clinics so severe that they would reduce the number of clinics that perform abortions in the state from more than 40 a few years ago to just 10, including none at all in the 500 miles between San Antonio and the New Mexico border. The state has claimed that the limits, requiring extensive hospital-like equipment and doctors with hospital admitting privileges even for clinics that offer abortions only through oral medication, are important to protect women's health.
These claims are belied not only by the medical evidence, but also by Texas politicians'; statements, such as Governor Rick Perry's vow to "pass laws to ensure" that abortions are "as rare as possible."
That law clearly violates the 5-4 ruling of the Court in Casey, which upheld the basic right to choose of Roe v. Wade, and held that such laws must truly be important to protect women's health and not impose an "undue burden" on that right. Will the Court uphold and correctly apply Casey and continue to protect reproductive rights? Given the stark divisions on the Court, the answer may well come down to the vote of Justice Anthony Kennedy, the last member of the five-person Casey majority who is still on the Court today.
The Court has also agreed to hear what many are already calling "Hobby Lobby II." Last year, the Court ruled 5-4 that owners of for-profit companies like Hobby Lobby could use the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) to raise religious objections and exempt themselves from providing contraceptive coverage to female employees as required by the ACA. To do so, the Court suggested that the companies could use the opt-out mechanism available to religiously-affiliated colleges and other nonprofits and inform the government of their religious objections, so the government could arrange for insurers to provide the coverage without cost to the employer.
Now, however, many of these nonprofits are claiming that the opt-out mechanism itself violates RFRA. In other words, they want to not just refuse to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, they also want to make sure the government cannot make other arrangements, so that the women will be deprived of contraceptive coverage guaranteed by the ACA.
Seven out of eight lower federal appeals courts have rejected these claims, ruling that simply telling the government of their objections and the identity of their insurer is not a "substantial burden" on nonprofits' religious free exercise under RFRA and that the government has a compelling interest in providing contraceptive coverage.
Justice Kennedy, who provided the fifth vote in Hobby Lobby, suggested in a concurring opinion that the opt-out was an appropriate accommodation. But if the Court upholds the nonprofits' objections in Zubik v. Burwell, the result will be devastating to the ability of women to get contraceptive coverage, especially since for-profit companies like Hobby Lobby will likely make the same claim that religion allows them also to completely deprive their female employees of contraceptive coverage. Although not as coercive as the Connecticut ban on contraceptives overruled in Griswold, the result could well be even more devastating to reproductive freedom across the country, allowing employers to transform RFRA from a shield to protect religion into a sword to harm reproductive rights.
Both the clinic and the contraceptive cases are highly likely to produce divided 5-4 decisions that will be enormously important to women' reproductive rights. With four of the justices in their 80s during the term of the president elected next year, these cases once again demonstrate the crucial stakes in the 2016 election for reproductive rights, as well as for so many other rights central to our liberty and freedom.
The Supreme Court today announced that it will hear several cases involving the accommodation for religious nonprofits seeking to opt out of the Affordable Care Act's contraception coverage requirement. This is not a surprise; as People For the American Way Foundation wrote in its Supreme Court 2015-2016 Term Preview:
Under the accommodation, the employers simply tell the insurer or the federal government of their objection, at which point the insurer must offer the coverage separately to employees who want it. This way, the employees can get the coverage without their employers having to contract, arrange, or pay for it. But some religious nonprofits assert that even the accommodation violates their religious liberty under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Under RFRA, no federal law imposing a substantial burden on religious exercise can be sustained unless it is the least restrictive means of achieving a compelling government purpose.
The list of circuit courts that have roundly rejected this argument is long: The DC Circuit, the Second Circuit, Third Circuit, the Fifth Circuit, the Sixth Circuit, the Seventh Circuit, and the Tenth Circuit. But in September 2015, the Eighth Circuit ruled in favor of the nonprofits and found the accommodation violated RFRA. Now that there is a circuit split, it seems likely that the Supreme Court will take up the issue via the appeals from one or more of these circuit decisions.
The premise of those challenging the accommodation is a severe distortion of RFRA and of the very concept of religious liberty set forth by the Court's hard-right conservatives in the 5-4 ruling in Hobby Lobby. That law was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in 1993 as a means to protect the free exercise of religion. But conservative ideologues have sought to transform RFRA from a shield into a sword, one that they can use to violate the rights of third parties. The right wing's enthusiastic embrace of Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis shows just how far they want to extend the reasoning of Hobby Lobby.
Here, the conservatives argue that filling out a form so that insurance companies can know about their legal obligations to provide certain coverage is a substantial burden on the exercise of their religion. That strained reasoning is a cynical use of religion to deprive women of needed healthcare, an effort to force women employees to live by their employers' religious strictures rather than their own. But what the Supreme Court said about the First Amendment in a 1985 case called Estate of Thornton v. Caldor is equally true of RFRA:
The First Amendment . . . gives no one the right to insist that in pursuit of their own interests others must conform their conduct to his own religious necessities. [quoting from a lower court opinion by Judge Learned Hand]
Justice Kennedy, who voted with the Hobby Lobby majority, is likely to be the deciding vote in this case. His concurrence in Hobby Lobby hinted that he might not go as far as his fellow conservatives in granting people the latitude to use RFRA to deprive others of their rights:
Among the reasons the United States is so open, so tolerant, and so free is that no person may be restricted or demeaned by government in exercising his or her religion. Yet neither may that same exercise unduly restrict other persons, such as employees, in protecting their own interests, interests the law deems compelling. In these cases [involving for-profit employers] the means to reconcile those two priorities are at hand in the existing accommodation the Government has designed, identified, and used for circumstances closely parallel to those presented here [the accommodation for religious non-profits].
Given the circuit split on the accommodation for religious nonprofits, the Supreme Court had little choice but to take this issue on. They do have a choice, however, in how they rule. Hopefully, a majority of justices will take the first step in restoring RFRA to the law it was intended to be.
This morning, Republican presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal joined radical right-wing pastor Kevin Swanson on the stage of Swanson's "National Religious Liberties Conference" in Iowa to hawk their candidacies to a crowd that includes several Christian Reconstructionists.
Huckabee knew just how to appeal to this group, using his short time on stage to repeat his promises to simply ignore the Supreme Court's rulings on abortion rights and marriage equality if he were to become president.
"Here's what the president should do, and if I were president this is what I would do," he said. "On the same-sex marriage decision, I would simply say, 'It is not law.' It is not law because the people's elected representatives have not made it law and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Supreme Court power to make a law. They are the Supreme Court, they are not the supreme branch or the Supreme Being."
"And so," he added, "when people say, 'What can we do? Let's introduce a constitutional amendment, let's propose a — .' No. Let's just exhibit and exercise the power that is already within the constitutional authority and structure and the president simply say, 'Thank you for your opinion, but we shall ignore it because there's nothing in the Constitution that affirms that and we are not going to impose upon all 50 states something that the federal government has no control over, which is the definition of marriage.'"
On the topic of abortion rights, Huckabee repeated his support for radical "personhood" proposals that seek to bypass a constitutional amendment overturning Roe by simply granting full constitutional rights to zygotes.
"I don't know how we honestly can pray 'God bless America' when we have acted like a savage, uncivilized country in relationship to unborn children," Huckabee said.
"But once again," he said, "instead of us wringing our hands and maybe pretending that we're going to change the Constitution or overturn Roe v. Wade — which, by the way, overturning Roe v. Wade does absolutely nothing to stop abortion, it simply turns it back to the states, they can have all the abortions they want. But what we have not done is what we should be doing and what I would do, which is to say we would invoke the Fifth and 14th Amendment as it relates to this issue. Because here's the fact: We don't have to pass a constitutional amendment. We already have two of them."
If you ever think that courts don't matter, ask yourself this: Why are major corporations and arch-conservative judges going to such lengths to prevent you from having your day in court when someone has violated your legal rights?
The New York Times has an in-depth three-part series of reports on arbitration, the system by which ordinary people are increasingly being coerced into surrendering their right to the protections provided by the American judicial system.
Agreements to resolve disputes by arbitration are increasingly becoming a standard part of the all-or-nothing contracts that enormous corporations force individuals to sign as a condition of doing business with them. With private arbitration, you surrender your right to a courtroom with a neutral judge and a wide variety of substantive and procedural protections for all parties.
Instead, the company picks a private arbitrator whose living depends on getting cases from corporate interests. The protections of the court system are cast aside. And you can't have class action lawsuits, which are often the only way to hold wrongdoers accountable when they harm large numbers of individuals relatively small amounts, so it is often not worthwhile for a wronged party to pursue arbitration.
Contracts have existed for centuries. In theory, they are negotiated by two people or businesses in a process of give-and-take, where both parties fully understand what they are agreeing to. But as anyone who has cable TV or a cell phone can tell you, most contracts we sign are handed to us "as is," take it or leave it.
If you don't agree to the terms imposed by some enormous corporation with millions of customers, the cost to you (life without a phone) is a lot more than the cost to the company (the loss of one of millions of customers). With vastly unequal bargaining power, the consumer has little choice but to agree. And, in fact, most people sign consumer contracts or click the "I agree" box online with little to no knowledge or understanding of the agreement.
As the Times reports:
By inserting individual arbitration clauses into a soaring number of consumer and employment contracts, companies like American Express devised a way to circumvent the courts and bar people from joining together in class-action lawsuits, realistically the only tool citizens have to fight illegal or deceitful business practices.
Over the last few years, it has become increasingly difficult to apply for a credit card, use a cellphone, get cable or Internet service, or shop online without agreeing to private arbitration. The same applies to getting a job, renting a car or placing a relative in a nursing home.
By banning class actions, companies have essentially disabled consumer challenges to practices like predatory lending, wage theft and discrimination, court records show.
"This is among the most profound shifts in our legal history," William G. Young, a federal judge in Boston who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, said in an interview. "Ominously, business has a good chance of opting out of the legal system altogether and misbehaving without reproach."
How did we reach a point where individuals can be routinely victimized by large corporations and denied access to the courts to vindicate their legal rights?
To a great extent, the blame can be laid at the feet of five people: The conservative majority of the Supreme Court. Their devastating 5-4 rulings like those eviscerating the Voting Rights Act or allowing billionaires and special interests to spend unlimited money in politics are well known. Less well known are 5-4 decisions in arbitration cases. Particularly notorious are AT&T v. Concepcion, where the conservatives ruled that giant corporations can use arbitration agreements to undermine state consumer protection laws across the country, and American Express v. Italian Colors Restaurant, where the conservatives empowered monopolists to use arbitration agreements to bypass federal antitrust laws.
As if this weren't bad enough, arbitration is hardly the only weapon corporate interests are using to block their victims from vindicating their rights in court.
In fact, just today, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Spokeo v. Robins, where corporate interests claim that their victims can't sue in federal court if their "only" injury is that a right created by Congress was violated.
Last month, the Court heard oral arguments in Campbell-Ewald Company v. Gomez, where a large company argued for the power to terminate a class action suit against it early on by quickly offering a settlement to the lead plaintiff representing the class.
Fair and just courts are vitally important in providing equal justice under the law to those who would otherwise be powerless against the enormous entities who have so much more power and resources. So it is no surprise that those powerful interests are so dedicated to blocking ordinary people from having their day in court.
This piece originally appeared in The Huffington Post.
The Supreme Court began its 2015-6 Term earlier in October. Even though it issued no decisions, the critical issues it considered and the stark divisions on the Court illustrate why Election Day 2016 will be Judgment Day for the Supreme Court and our rights and liberties, when America determines the president who will select Supreme Court nominees beginning in 2017.
Three cases in which the Court heard oral argument in October are good examples. As Supreme Court analyst Tony Mauro put it, the importance of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission v. Electric Power Supply Association is "hard to overestimate," since it could involve literally billions of dollars in electricity costs and determine whether the nation's power grid collapses in the case of a future blackout.
The question before the Court is the validity of a FERC rule that would have the economic effect of persuading large electricity users to cut back their demands at peak power usage times. Not surprisingly, conservative justices like Scalia and Roberts seemed to be clearly siding with big power companies, based on a narrow view of federal government authority, while moderates like Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor appeared to agree with the case for federal authority and the FERC rule.
With Justice Alito recusing himself from the case, the question is whether Justice Kennedy will side with the moderates and uphold the rule or vote with extreme conservatives and vote to affirm a lower court decision striking down the rule. A 4-4 tie would result in the lower court ruling being upheld without a controlling opinion. But if a similar issue arises in a year or so, and if Kennedy, Scalia, or Ginsburg have retired from the Court and are replaced by a nominee selected by the next president, the answer will likely depend on who nominates the new justice.
The Court was similarly divided during oral arguments in October in Montgomery v. Louisiana. That case concerns whether the Court's ruling in 2012, that it is unconstitutional to impose life sentences without possibility of parole on people convicted of murder when they were juveniles, applies to people like 70-year old Henry Montgomery, who was convicted for such a crime long before the Court's ruling and has already spent more than 50 years in prison.
Far right justices Scalia and Alito sounded clearly negative on Montgomery's claim, suggesting that the Court did not even have jurisdiction to hear it, while justices like Kagan and Breyer were far more receptive. As occurred in the 2012 ruling, this case is likely to produce a 5-4 decision with the outcome depending on Justice Kennedy. The fate of a thousand or more people convicted for life while juveniles like Henry Montgomery will hang in the balance.
On its last day of oral arguments in October, the Court heard Campbell-Ewald v. Gomez, one of several cases this Term that concern efforts by business to prevent consumers and others from using class actions to redress corporate wrongdoing. Conservatives on the Court have generally sided with business in such cases and have already severely limited the use of class actions, and Gomez may well be another example.
The issue in the case is whether a business can prevent a consumer like Jose Gomez from bringing a class action to get large amounts of damages and other relief for many injured consumers by offering to give him personally all the damages he can recover as an individual -- in this case, around $1,500 for violating a federal law on unsolicited telemarketing. This would be a good deal for the company, since as many as 100,000 consumers could be included in a class action because of similar violations.
As in previous class action cases, questions from moderates like Justices Kagan and Ginsburg suggested they are likely to agree with the consumer, while those from conservatives like Scalia and Roberts were in the corporation's favor, and Justice Kennedy is likely to be the deciding vote. Regardless of how this case is decided, other cases to be considered by the Court this Term -- as well as in future years -- are likely to have a significant impact on the ability of consumers and others to band together via class actions to obtain meaningful relief for wrongs committed by corporations.
It is always difficult to predict Court decisions and votes based on comments and questions at oral argument, and the Court may not even reach the merits of all the issues presented in these cases. But the importance of the issues at stake -- billions of dollars in electricity costs, the stability of the nation's power grid, the fate of more than a thousand people sentenced to life in prison for crimes committed as juveniles, and the ability of consumers to effectively seek justice for corporate wrongdoing -- demonstrates the importance of the Supreme Court to the rights and interests of all of us. And the close divisions on the Court on these and other issues, coupled with the fact that four will be over 80 in the next president's first term, show the importance of the 2016 election on the future of the Court -- and why November 8, 2016 truly will be Judgment Day.
If you need more convincing, stay tuned as the Court continues its 2015-16 Term -- the last term before the 2016 election.

New laptop setup, SSD questions

I wonder if the 32gb SSD isn't intended for a cache file to speed up HD. Those we've seen have all been 32 gb.
We have helped users install Win7 to them, though, so after checking if Win7 is already installed on it, if you want to do so you may need to delete and format it first with our help which is how this has worked before. This causes the booted installer to see the SSD so you can install there.
You may also need to turn off a RAID setting in BIOS (most often by changing SATA controller to AHCI before reinstall) and onboard Intel Rapid Storage technology in some cases. We can get into this more if these come into play.
So it's a challenge to install the OS to the small SSD intended for use as a cache drive but we can help you as we have with about a dozen of these already.

Media release.
Published: 14-Jun-2016 10:00 am
Publisher: EMMA - Espoon modernin taiteen museo
TURPPI GROUP / TURPPI GAMES 82-83 / 15th June-4th September 2016
EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art is to highlight the first ever piece of Finnish performance art video as part of the Turppi Group exhibition, which opens this Wednesday the 15th of June. Known as pioneers of video and performance art, the Turppi Group has received a solo exhibition entitled Turppi Games 82-83, presenting videos, documentary photographs, land art pieces and written documentation on the influential group of artists that was active during 1982 and 1983. The exhibition will run in EMMA's Areena space until 4th September 2016.
Turppi Games 82-83 is part of EMMA's exhibition programme focusing on the early phenomena of contemporary art history. Stemming from an intrigue in rituals and ritualistic spaces, the activities of the Turppi Group in their own right paved the way for Finnish contemporary art. As is distinctive of contemporary art, the group combined various art forms to create environmental artworks, land art, installations, performance pieces and video artworks.
The Turppi Group was founded in 1982 at the Experimental Environment III Symposium in Lehtimäki, where a group of Nordic artists gathered together to realise environmental and land art pieces. The symposium was the first of its kind arranged in Finland, an environmental art event in an experimental environment itself. The Turppi Group was founded by Finnish Academy of Fine Arts students Marikki Hakola (b. 1960), Lea Kantonen (b. 1956), Jarmo Vellonen (b. 1958) and theatre critic Pekka Kantonen (b. 1955).
The group's interests were in the natural environment, in our relationship to the materiality of nature and a person's sensory world of experience. The Turppi Group realised several land artworks during the Lehtimäki symposioum, of which the environmental performance art video Earth Contacts (1982, 30 min) shot in the Lehtimäki sandpit, as well as the documentary photography series behind environmental artworks Resting Place and Ant Queen will all be seen at EMMA. Lehtimäki also marked the first time the Turppi Group used a video camera to record their work. This resulted in Earth Contacts, the first piece of Finnish performance art video. EMMA has been involved in the digitising and restoration of the works seen in the exhibition.
Prior to founding the Turppi Group, its members Lea Kantonen and Marikki Hakola were both interested in dance, corporeal movement and contact improvisation. In 1982 they had created the installation and performance Intermediate Space in the Ateneum Art Museum, as part of the spring exhibition for the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts. A documentary photography series on Intermediate Space is part of the exhibition at EMMA. The installation consisted of a dark space lit only by a UV light, which the performers painted with black and white stripes using their hands and bodies. At the same time, a work by Jarmo Vellonen was also being exhibited in the cellar of the Ateneum Art Museum. Vellonen's installation was comprised of sand, water and stone, and it acted as the precursor to the land artwork Resting Place, which the Turppi Group created at Lehtimäki. The exhibition at EMMA includes a replica entitled Resting Place II.
Another video seen at EMMA, Deadline (1983, 17 min), was recorded at the dilapidated Sea Barracks building in Helsinki's Katajanokka neighbourhood, which had served as workrooms for painting students at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts. Deadline contemplates two opposing world views – nature's constant renewal and the ideology of urban growth. It was recorded in the old execution yard of the Marine Barracks as well as in the Greenhouse installation which had been constructed inside the building. Around this time Martti Kukkonen (b. 1958) joined the Turppi Group and he can be seen in the video's execution yard scene.
A deeper exploration of the human self, ethics, social responsibility and physicality are evocative of the brief yet productive activity of the Turppi Group. They disbanded when the interests of its members shifted in different directions after finishing their studies. However, the artistic work of each of its former members is still indicative of the "conceptual, philosophical and aesthetic influences" developed during the Turppi Group era (Pekka Kantonen and Marikki Hakola, Turppi Games 82-83, exhibition pamphlet, EMMA, 2016). Photo prints in the exhibition are by Sakari Viika.

Nonprofit seeks lease for Latino festival
By Jason Song and Jason Song,SUN STAFF
April 6, 2004
Organizers of a Latino-themed festival are appealing to the Annapolis city council to help them obtain a lease for their September event. The nonprofit Association of Latin Marylanders in Anne Arundel County hopes to hold the inaugural Annapolis Latin Festival from Sept. 24 to 26 at City Dock, the city's major tourist attraction at the foot of Main Street. But festival organizers did not obtain a lease from the city and were worried they would have to reschedule or cancel the event. All events held at the City Dock must have council-approved leases.
Council OKs $95.6 million Annapolis budget
By Pamela Wood, The Baltimore Sun
June 13, 2013
The Annapolis city council passed Monday a $95.6 million operating budget and $10 million capital budget for next year, with a slight increase in the property tax rate and funding for projects that include a bulkhead replacement at City Dock. Mayor Josh Cohen, a Democrat, said the budget will improve government services while limiting the impact on taxpayers. "I think it's a good budget. I think it's a responsible budget," he said. Alderman Fred Paone, a Republican who voted against the measure, criticized the budget as unfixable.
Parking garage proposal for park sparks Annapolis fight
By Arthur Hirsch, The Baltimore Sun
April 29, 2012
On a sunny spring afternoon, children continue a tradition in the downtown playground next to Annapolis Elementary School: shooting hoops, kicking a ball around, riding the swings. Adults, meanwhile, pursue another generations-old practice: arguing the future of the little park, long considered the keystone to waterfront revitalization. "This is as big for Annapolis as Harborplace was for Baltimore," said Alderman Ross H. Arnett III, who days ago joined a 6-3 majority voting to let the city pursue plans to wipe most parking spaces off City Dock and move them to the playground site, enabling the city to make better use of what some say is the most valuable piece of real estate in town, if not in Maryland.
Changing times scuttling last waterman at City Dock
By Amanda J. Crawford and Amanda J. Crawford,SUN STAFF
April 11, 2002
To some it is "Ego Alley," where sleek sailboats and pricey yachts are on display as they tie down in historic Annapolis. But as Alexander "Skip" Parkinson loaded rusty crab pots onto his workboat there yesterday, he insisted it is still City Dock - just City Dock - to him. Parkinson remembers when the dock was full of watermen, but now he is the only one. And as Annapolis prepares to welcome the world with an international sailboat race, the city has...
Cold heroism
January 18, 1999
COMMENDATIONS are due two Annapolis-area men who rescued a 3-year-old whose stroller rolled off the dock in Annapolis last week. Mark Britton, who had just locked himself out of his car and was awaiting a family member's arrival with a second set of keys, heard the splash and jumped in. Thomas Brew, a waiter at a downtown eatery who was outside on his break, rushed over to help rescue the girl, who was cold and wet, but uninjured. These men deserve a proclamation -- and a night on the town -- for their bravery.
Charter vessel issue with City Dock space arises on new front
By Matthew Mosk and Matthew Mosk,SUN STAFF
July 8, 1999
Just when Annapolis officials thought they had quelled the storm over a charter vessel that sought a long-term slip at the City Dock, new clouds are looming.This time, the tempest is not over longtime watermen losing their moorings. It's over the notion that an upstart charter company will get prime-time harbor placement that might have been denied to others."We have for years had people with charter vessels asking to rent slips from the city, and for years they've been turned down," said Alderman Louise Hammond.
Charting a landmark's future
By Amanda J. Crawford and Amanda J. Crawford,SUN STAFF
December 8, 2002
Surrounded by the pricey restaurants and bars of the state capital, Annapolis' historic Market House has found a modern niche among downtown workers and tourists by serving fried chicken, crab cakes, pizza and deli sandwiches. "We've become a working man's lunch place," said Joseph Martin, 61, whose family has run Mann's Sandwiches in the nearly 150-year-old building on City Dock for 30 years. "It's a place where a guy can come eat for $3 or $4 at lunch time." But as Annapolis gears up for a major renovation of the city-owned Market House after three decades of poor maintenance, it is re-evaluating how the market works and what it sells.
Amid protests, symbolic move could convince Md. to lease space at City Dock
By Nicole Fuller and Nicole Fuller,Sun Reporter
April 16, 2008
The Annapolis City Council has formally expressed support for building a National Sailing Hall of Fame on City Dock, giving momentum to the project even as preservationists have decried any plan to raze, move or alter a historic waterfront home on the site. The resolution sponsored by Mayor Ellen O. Moyer, a strong proponent of the estimated $20 million museum, passed 6-3 Monday night in a symbolic gesture that could convince the state, which owns the property, to offer a long-term lease.
City skirts Market House petition
By Tyeesha Dixon and Tyeesha Dixon,firstname.lastname@example.com
February 22, 2009
The City of Annapolis cannot pass legislation to immediately occupy the Market House at City Dock, city officials said in response to a petition being circulated by the Annapolis Business Association requesting that the city allow tenants to move into the waterfront property by the start of spring. In its statement, the city outlines why it's not legally up to city officials to allow tenants to move in. "The city would love to resolve this matter and return the Market House to its rightful position as a jewel of our downtown and harbor area," the statement reads.
Cost doubles for City Dock fix
By Joe Palazzolo and Joe Palazzolo,Special to The Sun
January 7, 2007
While the cost of improving City Dock has soared to nearly $9 million, the brunt of the project is expected to be completed in half as much time as originally planned to accommodate Annapolis' tourism calendar, according to city officials. In the lull between the powerboat show in October and the Maritime Heritage Festival in May 2008 - two of the city's largest tourist draws - two barge crews will work simultaneously, spearing new bulkheads and sheet pilings through the soupy soil on the bay floor in the project's main phase.

Voice actor Diedre Rubenstein performs Joy Dettman's intense One Sunday, a chilling story about the lingering aftereffects of war and the passions and prejudices that can lurk beneath any apparently sedate small town.
Rubenstein's rich performance emphasizes the intricate construction of this complex novel, which tracks the aftermath of a shocking death which townspeople, still grieving for sons and fathers lost at the Battle of Gallipoli, are primed to blame on a lonely German man whose property the body was discovered near. Rubenstein has a stern but compelling voice perfectly suited to Dettman's complicated subject matter, and the existential questions dredged up in this gripping audiobook.
Early one Sunday, the town of Molliston wakes to the news that a young bride is dead. The year is 1929. The Great War with Germany has been fought and won, but at an immense cost to the small community. Death is too familiar here. So many sons were lost. So many daughters would never be wives; so many grandchildren would never be born. Racial hatred is like a bushfire in the belly of some. And the dead girl is found only yards from the property of old Joe Reichenberg, a German.
Tom Thompson, the local cop, lost his two sons in Gallipoli. He believes he has come to terms with his bereavement - until that Sunday. Slowly, the true face of Molliston is exposed. By midnight, a full moon is offering its light - and a glimmer of hope.
©2009 Joy Dettman; (P)2009 Bolinda
"One Sunday, 5 star book!"
An incredible story. Well written, and well performed. This is one of my all time favorites.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
The most popular Blackberry models, namely the Bold series and the Curve series do not support SQLite database creation on the device memory. If the memory card is present, you're lucky. But if its not, how can one store a huge database of 2000 records which need to be searched and updated from time to time.
Querying the persistent storage is a cumbersome process. One that would make the phone hang time and again.
Is there a way to store data in XML perhaps and also be able to query it?
Some way around with SQLite? Maybe one could make a virtual memory card in the application memory and be able to query the database from within.
Help needed!

I was able to re-apply and rush things through and get on the plane. If I hadn't, it would have cost $1,000-$3,000 in change and cancellation fees for flights. My boss said that, 'most places would make the employee pay that.' Is that true? [more inside]

Letting Go & Getting Over It
Has anyone ever made a mistake that they just can't stop replaying over and over in their head? I think that I accept the mistakes that I made and the decisions that led up to it, but I keep thinking why in the world did I have to do what I did. Every day I get up and I am thinking about the past. I made a mistake that was so big that it has permanently jeopardized my future. It's been almost two years since this problem first appeared. Some things have improved since that time but other things have gotten much worse. On a scale of 1 - 10 as far as big fuck ups go, this one would be about an 11. How do you process something like this and live with it so that you're not constantly thinking about it?

Or do I not draw anymore attention to it and just hope beyond hope?
What have you been wrong about, realized it, and it changed your life?
What have you been wrong about, realized it, and it changed your life? I remember reading Albert Ellis' wonderful self-help book A Guide to Rational Living where he gives a great list of irrational and self-defeating beliefs that people have. Among these beliefs was the importance people placed on other's opinion of them as well the emphasis people placed on being perfectionistic in their own lives. Much of this underlies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but the effect is even more prevalent than that. We all have had beliefs that have held us back, and I'm curious as to what things you once believed that were holding you back in your personal or professional life. Anything will do. It can be anything from knowing the importance of making good first impressions to the need for keeping oneself physically fit even when one doesn't want to. I'm looking to see whether I share of any of these traits or not. So what are the beliefs that have held you back or others that you know?
Canonical mistakes for people whose first relationship is in their 20s?
