Brotherly love
Are you interested in history? If you are, is your focus on your family's past or do you have a broader scope? Since we just celebrated Labor Day, have you considered why it was established?
If you're curious, the Pullman Strike of 1894 is its source. At that time our country was in a depression similar to the 1929 crash. It was a trying time where labor unions arose as men clamored for higher wages and improved working conditions. So when wages plummeted and conditions didn't improve, a strike arose between the railroad workers and the Pullman Company who built railroad cars.
This brought shipping to a halt, paralyzing the country and sending shock waves to our nation's capital. President Grover Cleveland, attempting to deal with the strike, sent military personnel along with marshals to quell it. When they met, violence broke out. causing many rail workers to be killed. It was once again a time in our history where blood was shed.
So, six days later, Congress asked President Cleveland to designate Labor Day as a national holiday in an effort to make peace. The festivities planned for the holiday were parades and relaxing events for the workers, just as we celebrate today.
So there it is, why we celebrate Labor Day, even though who among us remembers the blood that was shed? And yet, we still celebrate, looking forward to this weekend first created to bring peace and brotherly love to our nation. So looking to history, sadly we learn this: Blood is often shed before we come to peace.
Thus, Labor Day was first established to heal the brokenness of a nation after blood was shed. It remains as an example of our human efforts to make peace, but also that our efforts never last. Nonetheless, this event is recorded in history so we can go back and touch base with its purpose in our lives. This is vital, for history teaches us humility in our thinking as the past has much to contribute to our future.
It's not surprising then that St. Paul writes to Christians saying, "Let brotherly love continue" (Heb 13:1). The question is why live out "brotherly love," and the answer is because in another time someone shed their blood. Not rail workers in this case, but Jesus who died in perfect humility, shedding His blood on the Cross to offer all men forgiveness and make permanent peace with our heavenly Father above.
This is significant beyond all other events in history, for Jesus' life and death teach us how to live out "brotherly love" as He did. So how did Jesus live it? And the answer: He obediently kept our Father's will. This means that to show "brotherly love" we must first responsibly uphold God's Word by keeping it intact and not changing it.
For this reason, St. Paul instructs Christians to live by God's righteousness, showing hospitality and care for one another as well as keeping the institution of marriage undefiled. Free, as he says, from every form of sexual immorality since marriage is an example of our lives before Christ's church. This means true "brotherly love" results from not coveting the things of our sinful flesh, but lives contented with what God has created for our good.
As Christians we can see these as solid foundations for our "brotherly love." They are examples that teach us that God's righteous ways are to be the basis upon which we love one another. So be hospitable and caring, but also uphold God's plan for marriage by rejecting the sexual immorality that is so wantonly supported today. Look, therefore, to God's ways to find contentment in your life.
For, as history so wisely teaches, when we deny God's righteousness and covet the things of this world, or create our own concepts of what "brotherly love" is, this becomes the reason why blood is shed, which brings "brotherly love" to an end. God's blessings.

Fixture News | 12th August 2005
Seconds reach Trophy final
Yorkshire 255-9 (Shreck 4-36)
Notts 256-7 (Bicknell 59, Mierkalns 50)
Notts won by three wickets
Bowling close to full pace, Shreck?s four wickets held Yorkshire to 255 off 50 overs at Headingley before our top order squeezed home in a thrilling run-chase with a ball to spare.
Paul McMahon hit the winning runs with a towering six over midwicket off former Notts left-armer David Lucas, leaving coach Wayne Noon a happy man.
Noon said: ?It?s been great to see the entire squad get into the winning habit and I was very pleased at the way the senior players gelled with the youngsters.
?ECB regulations limited us to four capped or over-25 players and all four did their part. Charlie is getting better with every match, while Darren Bicknell, Russell Warren and Paul Franks all made contributions with the bat.
?But I was especially pleased for Josh Mierkalns, who took on the bowling once Franks was out and showed real maturity in his batting.
?There?s been some good cricket played by the boys all through the competition. Now we?re all looking to finish the job in style.?
Notts have won the Second XI Trophy only once, in 1991, and Noon will lead the side to Horsham to take on Sussex in the final on Monday September 5.

North Fork trail bridge work may affect recreation
Though the trail will not be closed, the lack of a handrail and intermittent delays on the very popular and heavily used North Fork trail may impact recreationists for approximately a week.
Beginning this next Monday, Forest Service crews will be doing maintenance on a bridge on the North Fork Trail (#24.2), which goes from Tumalo Falls to the Swampy Lakes trail (#23) near Happy Valley.
Crews will remove the handrail on the bridge and some people may be uncomfortable crossing the bridge without the handrail. In addition, intermittent 20 to 30 minute delays during critical construction times also may impact recreationists.
The work is being done to prevent future damage to the bridge and to maintain the bridge for public safety.
Crews will be working until approximately Sept. 15, when it should be completed.
For more information, please contact Marv Lang, Deschutes National Forest Wilderness and Trails Lead, at 541-383-4793.

Vogt's Notes: 10 good reasons to check out a Toastmasters open house
I'm pretty comfortable talking to people I don't know. I have to be, considering a reporter's job is to talk to people — sometimes strangers — to get their story, or to ask people of all walks of life all sorts of questions.
As anyone who may have received a voicemail from me knows, however, I certainly can ramble and take too long to get to the point.
And, like many of you, get me in front of a group of people and not only do I ramble and forget half of what I planned to say, I feel my face heat up as it turns beat red and my voice starts to quiver.
When I heard about a Toastmasters club forming in the Pequot Lakes-Breezy Point area, I was immediately interested. Other service clubs in the area have piqued my interest, but just didn't seem to work for me for some reason or another.
I'm not exactly sure why I felt such a strong tug to Toastmasters, but I decided to check it out. And I liked what I found.
The Out of Towners Toastmasters Club formed last April with veterans Cindy Hidde and Marjorie Harris of the Paul Bunyan Toastmasters Club as our leaders. The club meets from 8:15-9:30 a.m. the second and fourth Mondays of the month at the Pelican Lakes Conservation Club in Breezy Point.
We named ourselves the Out of Towners because none of the dozen or so of us is originally from the Brainerd lakes area. We're all transplants.
Don't worry, that doesn't mean a Brainerd lakes native can't join us. We welcome anyone with open arms.
That's part of what I enjoy most about this group — the people I've met or gotten to know better. We're all pretty apprehensive when it's our turn to give a speech, but at the same time very comfortable with each other.
Even though the format of our meetings and the roles we undertake have become more familiar as our one-year anniversary approaches, we newbies still have a lot of questions. Anyone new who may join us has no need to feel behind. You'll find a comforting group with us.
We all have our reasons for joining the club and goals we hope to reach. I don't have a problem writing a speech; I can whip one up on notecards in no time. But when it comes to getting up in front of people and reciting my speech, that's another story.
My goals are to become a more succinct and better public speaker, as well as to learn leadership skills.
Conversely, a fellow club member is already an excellent public speaker who speaks well off the top of her head. Her goal is to learn how to write a speech and then share it out loud.
No matter what your goals are, you'll fit in with us.
So here are 10 reasons you should join the Out of Towners Toastmasters Club at an open house Monday, Jan. 14. Come join us from 8:15-9:30 a.m. at the Pelican Lakes Conservation Club in Breezy Point.
1. Meet a great group of welcoming people.
2. Try something new; go out of your box.
3. Find out how you can learn lifelong leadership skills.
4. Learn how you can become a more confident public speaker.
5. Discover how you can set ongoing goals to better yourself.
6. Find out various ways you can satisfy a competitive drive within yourself.
7. Learn how to gain overall confidence in yourself.
8. Learn how to find your voice.
9. Learn how to become a better communicator.
10. Start a winter week in a different way by getting out, meeting new people and challenging yourself.
I can't wait to see you Monday at the Pelican Lakes Conservation Club.

Expected to go on sale in the fall of 2012 as a 2013 model, the new Range Rover is expected to feature a lightweight rivet-bonded aluminum chassis based on the same platform underpinning the Jaguar XJ. By using the lightweight material, engineers could shed up to 40 percent off the current SUV's unpainted body shell, equating to a saving of roughly 660 to 880 pounds. Advanced composites are also expected to be used for certain elements, such as the body panels and rear tailgate.LinkIt needs to lose weight, that thing is a heifer in its own respect, and I think it has about a half-ton on the Cayenne and X5.

Reagan Logan:I like Land Rover, Love their seats, but reliability issues are still there...But for some reason people still gobble them up, I'm curious to see how the 2010 MY Land Rovers fare, supposedly they fixed many glitches.
That's great news. I've driven a RR sport just like the one in the article and it was an amazing vehicle. It was big and heavy but that thing could scoot, faster than the Mustang GT I raced infact. I've always been a big fan of Land Rovers, I hope this next gen is as good as the current one.
GM to the end.
I have always thought they looked great but never really paid any attention to them.

What are the 20 greatest games in the history of Oriole Park at Camden Yards? Beginning Feb. 12, highlights will be available here on OriolePark.com. Check back here to see the countdown unfold, and be sure to catch full games on MASN.
Game 20: April 1, 2002
The Orioles spoil Roger Clemens' Yankees debut on Opening Day. Tony Batista hits a grand slam, and the Orioles score eight runs off Clemens en route to a 10-3 win. Later that evening, the University of Maryland Terrapins win the NCAA men's basketball tournament, topping off a memorable day in Charm City.
Game 19: June 14, 2000
Brady Anderson, pinch-running for Cal Ripken, scores from second on Delino DeShields' single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Orioles an 11-10 comeback win over the Rangers. The Orioles had scored four runs in the eighth inning to tie the game.
Game 18: June 3, 1997
Rafael Palmeiro hits a two-run homer in the 10th inning to give the Orioles a come-from-behind, walk-off win against the Yankees, 7-5. Mike Bordick's two-run, two-out single in the seventh had tied the game.
Game 17: May 14, 2006
Trailing the Royals by three runs in the ninth, the Orioles score four times - three with two outs - on three walks and three singles for an 8-7 win. Kevin Millar's pinch-hit single drives in the game-winner.
Game 16: May 27, 2009
The Orioles come back twice to beat Toronto, 12-10, in 11 innings. The O's score five runs in the eighth to tie the game, 8-8, and after the Blue Jays take a 10-8 lead in the 11th, Luke Scott knocks an RBI single before Nolan Reimold hits a three-run walk-off homer.
Game 15: Aug. 26, 1996
The Orioles blow an 8-3 lead but still come back to beat Oakland, 12-11, in 10 innings. Brady Anderson triples in a two-run ninth inning that ties the score at 10 and triples again to tie the game in the 11th before scoring the winning run on a walk to Cal Ripken.
Game 14: July 15, 1996
With the Orioles trailing Toronto by three in the ninth, Bobby Bonilla hits a game-tying three-run homer and Chris Hoiles follows three batters later with a two-run blast to win the game.
Game 13: June 22, 1996
In a nationally televised game on FOX, the Orioles score all five of their runs in the ninth on three homers to beat the Royals, 5-3. After Rafael Palmeiro and Bobby Bonilla go back-to-back to tie the game, Mark Smith wins it with a two-run shot.
Game 12: May 30, 1997
Mike Mussina comes within two outs of perfection before settling for a one-hit shutout in beating Cleveland, 3-0. Sandy Alomar's single to left with one out in the ninth gives the Indians their only baserunner.
Game 11: Sept. 6, 1996
Eddie Murray hits his 500th career home run, becoming only the third player in history (along with Hank Aaron and Willie Mays) with 3,000 hits and 500 homers. Murray's homer comes in the seventh inning of a game the Orioles would go on to lose, 5-4 to Detroit in 12 innings.
Game 10: Sept. 5, 1995
Cal Ripken ties the immortal Lou Gehrig with his 2,130th consecutive game played. The Orioles hit six home runs -- including one by Ripken himself -- and beat the Angels, 8-0.
Game 9: July 25, 1999
On MLB's "Turn Ahead the Clock Day," Albert Belle -- donning a "futuristic" Orioles uniform -- hits his third home run of the afternoon, tying the game in the ninth after the Orioles had trailed, 7-3, in the seventh inning. Cal Ripken's 11th-inning single gives the Orioles an 8-7 win.
Game 8: Sept. 28, 2007
With the Orioles tied with New York in the 10th inning, Melvin Mora surprises the Yankees with a two-out, bases-loaded bunt single to score Tike Redman with the game-winning run. Jay Payton had tied the game at 9 in the ninth with a two-out, bases-loaded triple.
Game 7: March 31, 2003
On an Opening Day featuring sun, rain and snow, the Orioles outlast the Indians, 6-5, in 13 innings. The Indians score twice on a ball lost amid the snowflakes, but the Orioles -- who tied the game for a second time in the 12th on a two-out passed ball -- finally win on Gary Matthews's single in the 13th.
Game 6: Oct. 5, 1997
With his team leading Seattle two games to one in the ALDS, Orioles manager Davey Johnson starts Jerome Walton and Jeff Reboulet instead of Rafael Palmeiro and Roberto Alomar vs. Randy Johnson. The tactic works, as Reboulet homers in the first inning and the Orioles go on to win, 3-1, to clinch the series and advance to the ALCS.
Game 5: June 30, 2009
The Orioles stage the biggest comeback in club history to beat the Red Sox, 11-10. Trailing Boston, 10-1, in the seventh, the Orioles score five runs in that inning and five more in the eighth to win.
Game 4: April 6, 1992
The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball is christened. Rick Sutcliffe throws a nifty five-hit shutout as the Orioles beat the Indians, 2-0, on Opening Day in the first game ever at Camden Yards.
Game 3: Sept. 28, 2011
Down to their final strike of the season, the Orioles score twice with two outs in the ninth to beat the Red Sox and dash Boston's postseason hopes. Nolan Reimold doubles in the tying run, and Robert Andino singles in the game-winner.
Game 2: May 17, 1996
With the Orioles trailing Seattle by three runs with two outs, Chris Hoiles hits a two-strike grand slam to beat the Mariners, 14-13. It is only the 12th sudden-death grand slam with two outs in Major League history.
Game 1: Sept. 6, 1995
Cal Ripken Jr. breaks Lou Gehrig's record by playing in his 2,131st straight game.

For the past eight months, I've been working hard on a project that's a little out of the ordinary, for me. It's the reason there's been such a drastic reduction in number of blog posts here. It's the reason I haven't been earning enough money to cover my expenses each month. It's my biggest accomplishment to date.
I've written a book (an entire book!) on object oriented programming, with a focus on syntax and libraries supported in the exciting new Python version 3. It's designed for beginner to intermediate Python developers who are more familiar with Python as a scripting language than as an object oriented programming language.
As a byproduct, it also introduces Python 3 syntax, and will be a great reference for programmers wanting to upgrade their Python 2 skills. For the most part, Python 3 is a simpler, more elegant language. The learning curve is shallow, but it takes some getting used to.
It also summarizes the state of the most exciting libraries available for Python 3 at this time. If you've been wondering when it's time to start migrating to the new language, it is now!
I'm currently in the rewrite phase on the book (it's time consuming!) but it's already available for preorder directly from my publisher:
I'm not great at marketing, so to put it bluntly: I hope you all buy a copy! I've put a great deal of effort into this project, and I'm very proud of the result. This book is a great resource and fills a void in the available references. It also fills a void in my available writings, as my blog posts tapered off over the past few months!

I am in need of drawn comb. I am hoping to pick up a swarm or two soon, but I have not been called for one yet. About a month ago I removed a feral colony that had established themselves in an individual's storage room roof area. I removed all the comb and wired it into frames and placed them and their brood into a new hive. I apparently did not get the queen in the removal so by now there is not much brood left to emerge. They do have a ripe queen cell about to emerge. I have stated all this as a matter of background info. Here is what I am thinking. Could I not take a frame of brood from them or another colony, place it into a new hive with 9 other frames of foundation, shake all the bees into the new hive and feed them 1:1 sugar to stimulate them to draw the foundation? I guess what I am asking is, will this be like creating an artificial swarm? Didn't mean to create a long question. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Dave (DBAK)

Black Student Union to celebrate 35 years of unity
Binghamton University's Black Student Union (BSU) will celebrate its 35th anniversary at a banquet to be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 12, in the Mandela Room in the University Union. The banquet, "Celebrating 35 Years of Unity in Heritage," will offer an evening of tribute and celebration as guests recall BSU milestones.
Special honorees will include BSU alumni and the children of the BSU Youth Program. A highlight of the evening will be the first-ever student "Mr. and Mrs. BSU" Pageant. Contestants will be judged on their academic ability, commitment to community service and leadership abilities.
The BSU was founded in 1968 as a center to unify and support students of African descent, to educate one another about their shared cultural heritage and to celebrate that heritage. Currently, 5 percent of BU students are of African American heritage.
Over the years, BSU has initiated a variety of programs and activities both on and off campus. These efforts include the BSU Youth Program, which offers creative and educational programs for children ages 5 to 13 from the Broome County Urban League. BSU also offers a variety of social opportunities for students to interact, including the BSU Binghamton Enrichment Program Barbecue held during the summer for freshmen enrolled in the Educational Opportunity Program.
For more information about the banquet or about the anniversary celebration, contact BSU president Tiffany Folks at 777-2885.

The 10 Greatest Muay Thai Fighters According To Me: 8-7
- Written by Dave Walsh
Yesterday I started a series about the 10 best fighters in Muay Thai history according to me.
Here is part two, with #8, and #7
8 Boonlai Sor Thanikul: While Boonlai was a great technician but he often found himself forgetting he's the superior fighter, and frequently got into hard fought battles with his opponents. This is one of the main reasons he lost important fights, and came close to winning fighter of the year many times, but never did. Nonetheless his skill is unquestionable. As age caught up to him and he began losing more fights, he got involved in working a fight. After the work, he was basically finished with fighting in big shows, and was forced to fight in small shows making small money. Soon after he completely quit the sport and began training fighters more frequently at his gym. Many Thai's say he was the most skilled fighter they've ever seen in the gym. But knowing he worked a fight its impossible for me to put him any higher than #8. Here you can see just how good he was. Even a bit past his prime he still thoroughly dissected Jongsanan Fairtex, who is a great fighter in his own right. There are plenty of Boonlai fights out there so check 'em out.
7 Poot Lorlek: Before CroCop was destroying people with his great left high kick there was Poot Lorlek. The 1974 fighter of the year, and maybe the greatest head kicker in Muay Thai history. He knocked out at least 20 people with head kicks in just 80 or so fights. He started boxing at the age of 16 and soon became a familiar face on television. After becoming the man at Lumpinee Stadium he moved over to Raja and became champion, and highest paid fighter in all of Thailand. While offensively very gifted it was his movement and brains that made him the elite fighter he came to be. Its almost as if he knew the move his opponent was going to do well in advance. Over the course of 80+ fights he was never knocked down. Like a lot of fighters he came back several times after retirement with mixed success. He was a trainer for sometime after retirement, but now lives on a farm.
6-5 Tomorrow

[Article]-Luck, Career Goals and a CISSP Boot Camp
Editor's Note: This article was written in 2005 and was originally published on CSP Magazine. Due to numerous requests, it is being republished on EH-Net.
It is said that luck seems to find those prepared for it. And, as difficult as it is to admit, stuff happens. We may find that our current job doesn't satisfy our financial or intellectual goals, a natural disaster may strike or, the unthinkable, we may be deemed expendable! If you had to hit the pavement tomorrow, do you have the knowledge and experience to determine your own destiny? If not, what is lacking in your CV? What gaps in your knowledge or holes in the list of your credentials should you fill? What would make your resume stand out from the crowd? Could any of us be better prepared to take advantage of good luck or better yet overcome the bad variety?
As many in the IT field do from time to time, I too stopped recently to see where I stood in my career, where my chosen field is headed and what was my place in it? Think of it as a Personal Disaster Recovery Plan. Looking at my resume, I noticed a vast amount of experience, plenty of knowledge regarding the specific duties of each of the positions I held and a few certifications. What I seem to lack is a highly respected credential that would verify all of that experience, fill in some technical gaps of items I don't perform on a daily basis and be recognized by non-technical executives. That credential gap can clearly be filled by an IT certification, but which one is right for me and my career goals?
Hope this helps both those going for their CISSP as well as those contemplating their long term career goals.

Hi, my name is Kristie Bauer. I was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 17. I am now 26 and have been through so much. Sometimes I like to look at lupus as an adventure. It keeps life interesting.

Now that the Republicans have taken the House, How can they use their majority to reverse Obama's Socialist agenda?
Revolt! lays out a game plan for success. Morris and McGann explain how to use the debt limit and budget fights to force Obama to accept Republican policies while, at the same time, undermining his chances of victory in 2012.
Obamacare? Morris and McGann explain how to block the IRS enforcement of the requirement that everyone buy health insurance and how to stop the Medicare cuts and rationing.
Crippling Talk Radio and Taking Over the Internet? They explain how to prevent the FCC from blocking free speech in America.
Cap and Trade? They offer a blueprint for how to cut off EPA funding to stop it from imposing carbon taxes and regulation.
Unless we read their plan and act to implement it, Obama will raise taxes, end the mortgage interest and charitable deduction, raise Social Security taxes, and add trillions more to the federal deficit in the process. Conservatives need to fight back—and Morris and McGann explain how to do it.
Revolt! is their most important book yet. The GOP won the elections of 2010. Revolt! explains how to translate this avalanche of votes into power and action in Washington. Their plea: Don't surrender. Don't compromise. Don't give in. Just push ahead and win! Revolt! is the next step.
Morris and McGann's Outrage, Fleeced, Catastrophe, and 2010: Take Back America laid out the problem, predicted Obama's polices and their results, and articulated a plan for victory in 2010. Now Revolt! explains how to use this new power to defeat Obama.

text: Senate Budget Update The state Senate has approved its budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year that begins on July 1. A number of amendments that the MTA supported have been adopted and several that the MTA opposed have been rejected. On a roll call vote Thursday, the Senate unanimously (38-0) voted to add an MTA-supported provision to reestablish the Foundation Budget Review Commission to study the current foundation budget and recommend any changes that may be needed so that students can meet state educational standards. Please email your senator to say "thanks!" The Senate also adopted an amendment sought by the MTA to provide a seat at the table and a strong voice for MTA higher education faculty in decisions about the future of the state's community colleges. Senate budget amendments were also adopted to increase funding for regional school transportation, METCO, scholarships for public higher education students in high demand professions and ELL teacher professional development. The Senate did not adopt any of the amendments submitted by Republicans that would have decreased state revenues. The Senate also rejected an amendment that would have further slashed state spending. Several weeks ago, the House passed its budget of $35.2 billion. After final passage of the state spending plan for FY13, it will be sent to a conference committee composed of House and Senate members, who are charged with ironing out the differences between the budgets passed by the House and Senate before sending it on to Governor Deval Patrick for his signature. The MTA will continue to analyze the budget, and further information will be available on massteacher.org in the next few days. FY13 Budget Spreadsheets

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Promoting Safe, Secure, and Peaceful Growth of Nuclear Energy: Next Steps for Russia and the United States
Russia, the United States and other countries must cooperate to enable large-scale growth of nuclear energy around the world while achieving even higher standards of safety, security, and nonproliferation than are in place today. This will require building a new global framework for nuclear energy, including new or strengthened global institutions. The Belfer Center's Managing the Atom (MTA) Project and the Russian Research Center's Kurchatov Institute developed these and additional recommendations in a new collaborative report, published this month. The report's authors and project co-directors, Matthew Bunn, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and Co-Principal Investigator of MTA and Vyachevslav P. Kuznetsov, Scientific Secretary of the Academic Council at the Kurchatov Institute led a multi-national team of more than a dozen experts in developing the report and its recommendations.
The basis of the report is the April 2009 meeting of Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and U.S. President Barack Obama. Following the summit, Medvedev and Obama said: "Together, we seek to secure nuclear weapons and materials, while promoting the safe use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes." The two presidents agreed that they sought "to promote international cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy while strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime." At their July 2009 summit, the presidents repeated these objectives, and established a joint Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group co-chaired by Sergei Kirienko, Director-General of the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom), and Daniel Poneman, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy. MTA and the Kurchatov Institute's report provides recommendations for steps Russia and the United States can take to achieve these common goals.
The report begins with an outline of the world's energy challenges in the 21st century, the potential role of nuclear energy in addressing these challenges, and the issues that must be addressed if nuclear energy is to play a major role in meeting the world's 21st century energy needs. The report continues with a description of the special role that Russia and the United States can play in the future of nuclear energy.
The authors argue that with more than 95% of the world's nuclear weapons in Russia and the U.S., most of the world's weapons-usable nuclear material, and the world's longest experience in nuclear energy, the United States and Russia bear special responsibilities for strengthening global efforts to minimize the risks and maximize the benefits of the use of nuclear energy. Expanded U.S.-Russian cooperation will be essential in achieving this objective.
The report concludes with recommendations for Russia and the United States to address issues related to: safety; security; nonproliferation; extending uranium resources; waste management; cost reduction; and making nuclear energy more broadly available around the world, and more capable of addressing multiple needs. The authors describe particular areas of joint research and development that should be undertaken, and the need to move forward with the bilateral Agreement for Cooperation in the Field of Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy, to provide a government-to-government framework for this cooperation.

After reading my friend Juan's genius post on Do-It-Yourself Halloween Costumes (Estilo Mexicano, por supuesto!), I was reminded that I haven't gotten a costume ready for my boys.
Looking around the house at what we already have on hand, I decided my youngest son would be a mariachi. I found a little guitar in their closet and then using a few odds and ends from Suegra's sewing supplies, a little hot glue and pins, (because unlike Suegra, I can't sew to save my life), I have a cute little traje de mariachi… But mariachi is not really mariachi with one lonely guitarist.
The problem is, my older son turned 12 over the summer, and I had previously told him he would no longer be trick-or-treating. I wasn't happy to break the news to him because despite the shadow of a mustache and the fact that he's taller than me, he is still very much a child at heart… But, because of my mariachi situation and the fact that he plays trumpet, I'm going to let him go one more year. (Honestly, I hate getting older children at my door asking for candy, but if they actually put effort into the costume and are polite, I think it should be okay.)
As for myself, I haven't dressed up in years, but I felt inspired. After thinking about it, I decided I wanted to dress up as Frida Kahlo. The only question is, will Carlos be my Diego Rivera? So far he has refused. The conversations have gone something like this:
"I want to dress as Frida Kahlo … will you dress as Diego?"
"Diego Rivera."
"Who's that?"
"Her husband! A famous Mexican artist!"
"No way."
"It won't be chistoso, te juro!"
"It's just a normal outfit, like a suit jacket, and…"
"Come on!"
…Later in the evening, I thought maybe if Carlos got a taste of my costume, he would be able to see my vision for how chévere this would be, and be convinced. So using an eyebrow pencil, I drew my eyebrows closer together and then put my hair up whimsically, before throwing on some artsy earrings and an elegant serape.
"Look!" I said, "I'm Frida!"
And then Carlos laughed and laughed until he almost cried. "You look like one of those weird old ladies from my neighborhood growing up!"
"Hey! No I don't! I look pretty! I'm Frida!" I said, my unibrow furrowed.
Later that night as we lay in bed in the darkness, I thought maybe I could convince him to agree if he was half-asleep.
"Will you be my Diego?"
"Will you be my Diego?"
"….no. Go to sleep."
"He's a little fat so you'll need a pillow under-"
So, I don't know if I'll be Frida if Carlos won't be Diego. So far, all my usual tricks to get him involved in my locuras have failed. Stay tuned!

Clear all selections to show more results.
Which swing set, playhouse, or playset is right for your backyard depends upon how many kids will be using it, what your safety needs are, and what kinds of equipment your kids prefer. Swing sets can come with a variety of core activities and offer a number of optional accessories to maximize the fun, too. Some of the most popular activities for swing sets are: classic swings, tire swings, disc swings, slides, fireman poles, hanging rings, rope ladders, and tic-tac-toe spinner boards.
Once you've picked out some of the activities you're looking for, it's time to think about some of the other basic swing set questions.
Consider the size of your yard. Do you want the swing set to take up the entire yard or only a portion? Be sure to allow plenty of room around the swing set in order to prevent injuries.
Swing sets and playsets may be composed of wood, metal, plastic, or a variety of two or all three. Factors such as your preferred aesthetics and safety needs are important to consider as you select your swing set. For instance, a wooden play set may have a nicer appearance, yet it may also present sharper edges and splinters. Additionally, metal swing sets may be most economical, yet do not always offer the longevity of wooden or plastic sets.
Playsets and swing sets are a great way to get kids playing actively and safely. However, it's always important to take kids' safety into special account. When it comes to outdoor playsets, weather conditions can become an issue. Discuss with your kids how weather can affect their play. Make sure they're aware to be especially careful after rain or conditions that leave swing and playsets wet and slick. Some surfaces and playset parts begin to harden with lower temperatures, making them more dangerous.
Make sure added protection is given to any danger areas or that use of these parts of swing sets, playsets and accessories are restricted from kids' use until the weather gets warmer. Look into adding mats that are specially designed for use with play set slides and play sets with monkey bars. Playset mats can provide extra padding and protection from injury during a fall.
Of course, it's critical that you regularly check the integrity of your swing sets and outdoor playsets. Go through a "test run" on a weekly basis to make sure all playset and swing set equipment is in working order to ensure the safety of your children. The high quality outdoor playsets and play set kits you'll find on SamsClub.com provide safety and durability, so taking these extra steps will help you make your child's outdoor play a wonderful experience.


text: What kind of floor do you have? The only room I have with open floor space is our family room and it has the laminate wood floor. I am sure DH would have a fit if I ironed on it. I wonder if laying down a thick fleece blanket would help protect the floor? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

|Tommy Lee
Now this shit's funny. A treat I tell ya! Normally I don't pay attention to these crazy nuisances in Hollywood like Tommy Lee but man, you can't not love Tommy when he says some bad-ass funny shit to SeaWorld. How can Dane Cook be a comedian and not Tommy Lee? Tommy is way funnier eve if he's being serious. Two things to say here. Whale and cow punani! Via TMZ:
"We know from SeaWorld's own director of safety (as well as videos on the web) that the way you get his sperm is by having someone get into the pool and masturbate him with a cow's vagina filled with hot water."
"Even in my wildest days with Motley Crue, I never could've imagined something so sick and twisted."
I totally ROFL'd when I read that but fuckin' aside though, who are you gonna believe? SeaWorld who trains people-killing whales or Tommy Lee who's been around both a cow's vagina and a whale getting jacked off 'coz he seem to bviously know a lot. I mean why would he lie? He's been with Pamela Anderson, the guy has literally nothing to lose.

SMR/VSH trait selection doesn't/didn't have anything to do with Russian bees. You are mixing the two up. We use VSH/SMR stock in our breeding program and have used it since it first became available. There was initially a problem with over-zealous uncapping but that was resolved--it's in the literature, and in the success of VSH stock now performing as well as any other "commercial" stock with some crossing and selection.When the Russian queens were brought in, researchers at first called the tolerant genetics "SMR" because they did not understand the mechanisms involved. These bees exhibit very high levels of mite tolerance, but if line bred too closely, they exhibit traits like uncapping and removing even healthy brood. This trait seems to be a case of a little bit is good, but too much is a problem. If you are not familiar with this aspect of VSH, I suggest you check with Glenn Apiaries, they deal with it on a regular basis.
I'd check this. You're concerned about a problem that has been resolved.That gets us to the essence of my statement. When you consider all the queen breeders in the U.S., less than 10% are raising highly varroa tolerant queens. That number is increasing rapidly as breeder queens with high levels of mite tolerance become more common. The problem I see is that these tolerant queens are based almost entirely on the VSH trait. This trait has known problems when concentrated.
Ha ha! You would lose that dollar! You're oversimplifying VSH expression to be black or white. Assume that VSH expression is not a negative, but an additive. By selecting for it AND for other good traits, one is breeding excellent stock. More and more breeders are using VSH stock in their programs. Are they doing this because they want their stock to perform less well? No. More queen producers are buying-into using VSH expressing stock. Most bee breeders have something with VSH going--depending on what their breeding objectives are.As I stated, brood production is reduced and honey production is reduced too. That you actively select for both production and tolerance is the path we should be going forward, but I would bet a dollar that you either don't actually screen your breeder queens to see which trait they are exhibiting or else don't actively seek other traits like mite mauling in your breeding lines.
I did an experiment back in 1996 that looked at grooming in colonies. I found that all colonies groom, some more then others. Yes, to combine grooming with VSH would be a good thing. You wouldn't lose a dollar bet if you gambled that that is being done now.My reason for starting this thread is because we are at the tipping point where bees in the U.S. are finally going to be mostly varroa tolerant. I would like to see more effort made to increase the mite mauling trait in our bees. That is the one trait you don't mention selecting for and arguably it is the trait most needed to finally get away from using chemicals.

she is really pretty. she is very understanding so if you ever need someone to talk to about anything, she's your girl. she will keep your secrets because she knows how it feels when her secrets get out and she doesn't like it at all. basically an all around great/amazing person. oh and she's better than youuuu. ;)

Rombauer wines are consistently ranked high in the wine trade journals. Many of the finest restaurants throughout the country include Rombauer wines on their list and feature them by the glass. The joy of wine is something that's important to Rombauer. Whether you are a collector of fine wines or like to have wine with food, wine is something that truly should be enjoyed. Rombauer Vineyards puts a lot of hard work and tender care into making drinkable wines. And because wine is a simple product to enjoy, emphasis is given to taking the mystique out of enjoying fine wines.
Our emphasis on the joy of wine comes from the heritage of the Rombauer family. Koerner's ancestors made wine in the famous Rheingau region in Germany and his great aunt, Irma Rombauer, wrote the book The Joy of Cooking. Hence our focus on wine as complements to good food and good friends. Every family member is actively involved in the day to day operation of the winery from selecting grapes for the winemaking process and getting the wine to market. View all Rombauer Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Where I stayed
Niagara Falls Camprground
First stop, Whirlpool State Park. This park is a ways down from the falls where some of the most extreme rapids in the world precede the whirlpool due to the 35,000,000 gallons of water that flow over the falls per minute
We weren't too far from the original location of the Falls. This was about seven miles from where they exist today. Over thousands of years, Niagara Falls were created by water erosion, moving upstream at over 6 feet per year. They stay where they are now because they control the water flow over the falls. As we passed by the Control Dam we were told that the amount of water that flows depends upon the time of day and the time of year. The amount that is siphoned away during the night hours is up to 50%.
Off to Bridal Veil Falls where we get a raincoat and a special pair of shoes. It was raining that day, so we were glad to have the logo-ed trash bags to keep us a little dryer
Next stop, NY State Observation Tower. The most impressive views of the American Falls can be seen from the deck of the park's Observation Tower. Extending out over the Niagara Gorge, the Tower allows you to look directly out into the cascading waters of the American Falls or down into the raging torrents below. Two glass elevators provide access to the base of the gorge and the boarding site of the Maid of the Mist boat ride.
For more than 150 years, the Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist has taken visitors through the foaming waters beneath the falls and now the the Girswalds
We had been wet all day long. In fact, so long that we were all pruned. We were also very cold and having trouble warming up as all our clothes were soaked through. It was pretty hard to stay dry between the wet adventures, the rain and the wind. We were hungry and ready to get back to the campground. There were several groups that were being dropped off and we were the last.
We had just enough time to throw in a couple pizzas, change clothes to something warmer and eat before the next bus was going to arrive to pick us up for our tour of the Canadian side. None of us, frozen and soggy Griswalds really wanted to go, but that was our last night there and it looked like the rain was stopping.
Clarkism, "Kids did you know the first person to go over the Falls in a barrel and survive was a 63 year old
female schoolteacher
was "Blondin" who once actually carried his manager across on his back, stopping midway to rest ! I would give either of those a try, but I wouldn't want any of you to worry about me." Yeah right, Clark happens to be afraid of heights. "Anyway, something else fascinating is twenty percent of the worlds freshwater lies in the Great Lakes, and most flows over Niagara Falls." Like we couldn't live without that fact.
When the shuttle arrived to pick us up with passports in hand, the door opened and guess who it was.......RITA. Someone called in sick and she changed buses and came back to pick up the fun Griswalds to go to Canada. So after picking up a couple other tourists we made a mad dash to get across the Rainbow Bridge. This is quiet the process, but we lucked out and got in front of the bus carrying all the Japanese sightseers. Rita explained that they never have the right paperwork, don't speak the language and we would be stuck waiting on the bridge for over an hour.
First stop, the Great Whirlpool from the Canadian side. This was much of a repeat except for the Botanical gardens and clock. It seems to be a big deal, but not much of a thrill for us. Moving forward we stopped and got a coffee and browsed in a shopping area. They have large sculptural figurines out front of this retail area. One being a moose. Rita informed us that steeling the Moose's nuts is the thing to do over on that side. Not sure what one does with over sized resin moose balls, but we didn't ask any more question.
Onward to the Skylon Tower. Here is where we were able to rise above the city and falls and get a birds-eye view. WOW was that spectacular. We rode to the observation deck in an exterior glass enclosed yellow bug elevator in 52 seconds. We had unbelievable views of Niagara Falls, the Great Gorge, the city skylines of Buffalo and Toronto all enhanced with a rainbow in the distance. One can almost be guaranteed the sighting of a rainbow when they come visit the falls and with the rainy weather we were having, we weren't sure it was going to happen. What a beautiful sight from what seemed to be the top of the world.
Amongst many other stops we made, another more impressive one was the Journey Behind the Falls. After receiving our souvenir rain poncho, we took an elevator ride down to a maze of tunnels that must have be built..... a long time ago. They all lead to cubby holes and observation decks from behind the Horseshoe Falls. The sound like thunder echoing through the tunnels, the sight not so awe inspiring as it was dark by now and it looked like rainfall through a window. However, the deck next to the falls, was worth while as they light the falls in various colors making for a stunning view. Unfortunately, none of the cameras would capture it under the low lighting conditions.
The time had come and the tour was over. It was approximately 11:30 at night and we had all had enough of the water falls, the rain, getting wet, and being so cold. It also marked the last leg of our trip. We only had a few more destinations left on our schedule. Rusty was excited about that fact and the rest of us had mixed feelings.

Hi to all.
I would like to ask the following:
I have continuous data for two trial arms (control and experiment).
There are 50 measurements per arm.
Data is collected at 6 time intervals.
I would like to plot a bar chart with the x axis showing the intervals (0,
1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months). Within each interval I would like to have one bar
for the control and one for the experimental group.
The y axis shows the mean of the measurement of interest.
Additionally, I would like to show the confidence intervals at each
interval per treatment group.
Thank you very much,

Here's a trivia question for you cowgirls:
During your journeys through Arizona you may pass through an Indian reservation called Gila River Indian Reservation home of a WWII Indian legend named Ira Hayes. Living in severe poverty Ira decided to enlist so he could send money back home to his family in Sacaton, AZ. During his battles in the Pacific a picture was taken of Ira and 5 other men doing ? that became symbolic to victory in every war thereafter. This picture has been seen by everyone in the country especially after 9/11, and even became a national monument. Songs were written about this man one in particular "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" By Peter LaFarge also sung by Johnny Cash. What were they doing in that picture?

Things are bigger here. Pepperell'd be wiping the boots of these giant towns. And geniously, Jenny and I have decided to travel strait though the fattest part.. we enter Texas to learn el Paso is 900 miles west. Drive back and forth MA 18 times and you'll understand. Any horseback-riding cowboys deserve the hoopla if they ventured half that.
I already feel unworthy on so many levels. Clearly my path to heaven is shaky because i do not reside in texas. Although my pen says 'I love Jesus' so perhaps that'll give me an edge.
While driving I liked to play "If i were born in Texas..." I'm convinced if I were I'd be a rowdy bartender who'd dance on tables wearing tight jeans and big boots
rambling rambling.. but helllooooo bachelor pad! Jenny and I are staying in the PALACE of pads, texas stylee. I feel like a princess. Soon we're off to see happenings of this city.
A fun place thus far, San Antonio has yet to let me down.

Learning to make something new always is enjoyable, especially when it's with a group of great ladies.
A few weeks ago, in the midst of the cold and snow, I learned how to make a few Arabic dishes from Bev Hicks, a former missionary in the Middle East.
She invited four of us over to teach us how to make a few things and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
The food was delicious and the company was even better.
While cooking, she told us stories of her 20 years of ministry in the Middle East with her husband, Ray.
The first thing we learned to cook was Pita Bread. After making this from scratch, I might never buy it in the store again. It was surprisingly simple and tasted much better than anything from a plastic package.
If you make this with kids they might get a kick out of watching the bread bake, and grow, in the oven.
While the bread finished baking, we made Hummus from scratch. I didn't realize that if you add ingredients other than what is in the traditional recipe, it isn't technically Hummus. You learn something new every day.
She showed us how to make a salad called Salata. It had a fresh crisp taste of mint and lemon combined with tomatoes and cucumber.
Throughout the meal preparations the various stages of the main dish were added together to lead to a grand reveal.
Makloubi, or upside down, is a dish made with a layer of chicken, lightly fried cauliflower and rice. Each layer has allspice and cinnamon sprinkled on top.
After everything is layered and cooked together it is all turned upside down onto the plate — literally.
Using a large plate, cover the top of the pot and flip it upside down so that the pot is laying face down on the plate. When you remove the pot, layers are reversed and steam rises from the dish, spreading the smell of the spices throughout the kitchen. The rice is at the bottom followed by the cauliflower and chicken. The dish is topped with browned slivered almonds.
All of these recipes were delicious and we spent the afternoon talking about our love of food and life over the meal.
It was a perfect way to spend a snowy day.
Becca Owsley can be reached at 270-505-1741 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Easy Pita Bread
2 cups warm water
2 envelopes active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pour two cups of warm water into a large bowl. Add two envelopes of active dry yeast and stir to dissolve.
Stir sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Gradually add five cups of flour, stirring constantly until the dough is smooth. Slowly work in up to 1/2 cup of flour with your hands, kneading until the dough is no longer sticky, about five minutes.
Shape the dough into a rectangle and pinch into two halves. Divide the dough into 24 portions for very small pitas or 12 for large ones. Shape each portion in a smooth ball. Place the balls on a floured surface and cover them with a slightly damp cloth or towel while you roll out one ball at a time.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. At the same time place an ungreased baking sheet in the oven to warm.
To roll, flour a work surface and a rolling pin. Gently press a ball out with fingers, roll each round from the center to the edge, turning dough after each roll to form a flat circle.
As each loaf is rolled, place it carefully on a floured surface and cover with a clean, dry towel or cloth. They will begin to rise.
When you finish rolling them out, begin baking the first ones you rolled. Carefully place as many as will fit on the hot baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until puffed, about four minutes.
Remove from oven and wrap in a clean, dry towel until cool enough to handle.
1 can chick-peas
Juice from 2 lemons
1/4 cup Tahini paste
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon yogurt (optional)
Olive oil or parsley for garnish
Hummus should be smooth and slightly thin. Hummus means chickpea. If it is blended with anything else (olives, roasted red peppers, etc.) it is not traditionally hummus. It is always a dip for Arabic bread and is served with fresh and pickled vegetables and olives.
To soften the skins of the chickpeas bring them to a boil before using them so the hummus will be silky smooth.
Drain liquid from chickpeas and rinse.
Combine some lemon juice, Tahini, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor. As you blend it, add in the drained chickpeas. Taste and add more lemon or Tahini as needed. Add a little water or yogurt to make it smoother if needed.
Serve drizzled with olive oil and garnish with parsley.
Makloubi (Upside down)
2 cups rice
2-3 pounds chicken pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 head of cauliflower
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1-2 teaspoons butter
Earlier in the day soak two cups of regular rice in warm water.
Boil one cut up chicken or 2-3 pounds of chicken pieces from breasts or tenders gently for 15 minutes with one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Use a cooking pot that's good for cooking rice later.
Pour off the chicken broth and reserve for later use. Leave the chicken in the bottom of the pot and brown slightly. You may need to add a bit of oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Cut up one head of cauliflower. (Do not wash if possible as the water makes the oil splatter). Fry in one inch of oil until brownish in color. Frying with a lid on keeps down on the oil splatters. Take out and drain on paper towels. Put the cauliflower in the pot with the chicken. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Pour water off soaked rice and rinse until the water is clear. Put soaked rice on top of the cauliflower. Sprinkle with another 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a few shakes of salt and pepper. Pour 4 cups chicken broth on top of this using your reserved broth and water to make the four cups.
Bring to a boil, cover and cook on low until all the water is absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Turn off burner and lest rest for 10 minutes.
Put a large tray on top of the open pot and turn upside down. Leave for a few minutes while you brown 1/2 cup slivered almonds in one to two teaspoons butter. Take care not to burn the almonds.
When you are ready to serve scatter the almonds on top of the Makloubi.
Serve with plain yogurt.
1 large cucumber or 3-4 small cucumbers
2-3 tomatoes
Green onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 lemons
Dice cucumbers, tomatoes, green onions, parsley and mint into small pieces and mix together. Sprinkle salt over vegetables.
For the dressing pour olive oil over vegetables and then the juice of one to two lemons.

For those of us who have been developing in APEX for a while will understand that the value of an item in APEX is not always what it seems. That's right; an item has two values in APEX. The first value is the session value that we can store in the database (server side), the second value is the value the end user sees on his screen in the browser (client side). On some occasions these values are the same. On others they are not. The difference in value can lead to some confusion, especially for the new APEX developers.
Let's start with an example so we understand the problem. This is actually based on a real use case. I changed the item names and queries to make it more universal, but the principle remains the same. The developer in question had a page with two Select lists containing the following queries:
SELECT 1 d, 1 r
FROM dual
SELECT 1 d, 1 r
SELECT 2 d, 2 r
The second select list (called P55_SELECT_LIST_2), also had a default value of 2.
When the user selects a different value on the select list then the second select list had to change values accordingly.
In order to achieve this the developer had created a Dynamic Action. As event he had a change Event of the P55_SELECT_LIST item. The first action was a set value containing the following query (again made simple for the example):
FROM dual
And page items to submit he had selected the item P55_SELECT_LIST, and affected items he put P55_SELECT_LIST_2
The last action he set was a refresh action of our P55_SELECT_LIST_2 item.
Our page setup now looks like this:
The developer tried his application, and when he changed the first select list he saw the second select list being refreshed. Yet, instead of displaying the correct value (1), it displayed the default value.
So what went wrong?
Let's see what exactly happened to figure that out:
- The page was loaded. The first select list had nothing selected, the second select list had "2" selected in the browser. Both items were empty in the session
- The value of the first select list was changed by the end user
- This triggered the change event defined in the dynamic action
- The first action "Set value" was executed. The value in the browser was changed. The session value of the item P55_SELECT_LIST was set to one, because it was set with items to submit. An AJAX request was made to set this value. The value item P55_SELECT_LIST_2 remains NULL.
- The refresh action was executed; an AJAX request was made to get new values for the select list. Since the SELECT_LIST_2 item has no value in the session, the default value is taken, which is 2!

I actually think I need to take some down, because they're making me a target. Need to be less obvious in these days and times. Yeah maybe a simple home made napalm jug that is set off by a road flare attached to the inside of the safe door. When you open it, it lights the napalm. Hmmm, now how to make sure it splashes outward??? LOL.

Make up a hidden space for your guns, maybe one where retrieval would be time consuming? When bugout time comes, dump everything in there and seal it up, maybe toss something real heavy and undesireable over it. Leave the safes out where they are visible, open and empty. No one will look very hard after seeing that.
We are outside cleaning guns...
My Bro Mongo shot his AR.. Damn Accurate. Oh yeah.
Then this knock out good looking blond beauty showed up at the range.
So here is the deal..
I dont give a damn if I have too carry a sling shot.
Forget the weapons. She is coming with me.
More news too follow in the AR section.

OK here is the pitch the barely clothed blond amazon girl is out in the swamp in the middle of the disaster fighting gators, snakes , zombies and so on and then her AK/AR --HK, mac 10, uzi whatever kind of automatic weapon tosses a hot spent case down her skimpy bikini top--
You are all a bunch of degenerate amateurs....You guys give guys like me a bad name....
Here is MY story: A Big Boob Blonde Amazon comes walking out of the Swamp....She takes one look at me, and needs no hot brass to lose her skimpy bikini......
Now THAT is how the story should go.....

A fellow hoists three brews every Friday at the same bar. Without
fail, every Friday he buys three brews and thoughtfully drinks them
down and then goes home. After months and months of this "pilgrimage"
the bar tender is curious and says to the man: As certain as a
sunrise, you come in here and drink three brews and then go home,
there must be a story to this. The man replies: There certainly is a
