ArcGIS 10.1 TIP: Setting Projections as 'Favorites' in ArcGIS 10.1 - *NEW* in 10.1
New in 10.1!
Tired of scrolling through all the possible projections when you only use about 3 or 4 of them? In ArcGIS 10.1 you can now save commonly used projections as a 'favorite'.
Next time you are specifing a projection for a dataset you can mark the projection as a 'favorite' by simply clicking the 'star icon' in the top right corner of the dialog box.
Next time you need to specify that projection, simply look for it within the 'favorites' section.

Area residents to help stage 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' at CLC
Central Lakes College (CLC) Theatre will present "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," a musical comedy, opening Thursday, Feb. 14, with performances through Feb. 24 in the Chalberg Theatre on the Brainerd campus.
Director Patrick Spradlin leads a group of 20 singer/dancer/actors in this madcap romp written by Bert Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, with music by Stephen Sondheim.
"Forum" is the story of Roman slave Pseudolus, who is willing to buy, steal or cheat his way to freedom. When his young master Hero falls for a beautiful girl living next door, Pseudolus strikes a bargain: Hero will get the girl and he will get his freedom.
Complications arise when it is discovered that Philia, the girl next door, is really a virgin courtesan belonging to procurer Marcus Lycus and already promised to Roman general Miles Gloriosus. Pseudolus' hopes aren't completely dashed, however, as he concocts a scheme to convince Lycus that the girl has contracted the plague and must be quarantined from Lycus' other women.
The plan nearly succeeds until Hero's father and mother unexpectedly return from a trip to the country and Miles Gloriosus arrives to claim his bride. With the help of fellow slave Hysterium, Pseudolus wildly improvises a plan that may just win him his freedom.
"Forum" debuted on Broadway during the 1962 season with Zero Mostel in the role of Pseudolus, Phil Silvers as Marcus Lycus and Jack Gilford as Hysterium. Silvers was originally wanted for the role of Pseudolus but turned it down because he wouldn't be able to wear his glasses and was so notoriously nearsighted he feared falling into the orchestra pit. Ironically, Silvers played the role of the crafty slave in a 1972 revival, with his glasses.
The original production won Tony awards as Best Musical, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Book and Best Director. A film version of the play was produced in 1966 and there have been several well-known revivals: In 1996 Nathan Lane took on the role of Pseudolus (later taken during the Broadway run by Whoopi Goldberg) and in 2011 an Australian revival featured Geoffrey Rush in the lead role. Interestingly, every actor who agreed to play the role of Pseudolus on Broadway (Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, and Nathan Lane) won a Best Actor Tony for their work in the musical.
Audience members will be familiar with many of the show's tunes, including "Comedy Tonight," "Impossible" and "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid." According to director Spradlin, the show is "a vaudeville-style comic spree." The title of the show comes from the standard opening line of many a vaudeville joke: "A funny thing happened on the way to the theatre tonight ..."
The cast of "Forum" consists of cast members from Brainerd, Baxter, Pine River, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Little Falls. Included are Michael Sanders as Pseudolus, Charlie Johnson as Senex, Bill Musel as Marcus Lycus, Gary Hirsch as Hysterium, Barb McColgan as Domina and Mitchell Dallman as Hero.
Other principal roles are played by Cheyenne Syvertson as Philia, Ed Eyestone as Erronius and Kevin Yeager as Miles Gloriosus. The bevy of courtesans is portrayed by Ann Jordan, Nicole Rothleutner, Sarah Mozey, Sarah Rudlang, Sarah Cooper and Terri Mackendanz. A trio of clowns known as the Proteans is played by Darren Dosh, Tom Vasecka and Joe Wooden.
The vocal director for the production is Lauren Nickisch. Wendy DeGeest is the choreographer and Steve Anderson is the orchestra conductor. Rehearsal pianist is Sarah Gorham. Sarah Broton is the stage manager for the production, with Hannah Maloney serving as assistant stage manager.
"Forum's" costumes are designed by Dawn Marks and Tim Leagjeld designed the whimsical scenery. Dwana Paplow is the technical director.
Performances for "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, Feb. 14-16 and 21-23, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays, Feb. 17 and 24. Tickets can be purchased from the CLC Theatre Box Office at 218-855-8199 or online at clctickets.com.

Proposed gun bans questioned
One of the most controversial parts of President Obama's plan to cut down on gun violence is his call to ban assault-style weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
At the center of the debate is whether these bans would make a difference. We put that question to experts who deal with guns and criminals every day.
Sullivan County sheriff Wayne Anderson, says, "In my 38 years, we've never had, that I could remember, a criminal that used a gun that was registered to that criminal. Almost every time, if they had a gun, it was stolen."
He tell News 5 laws don't stop criminals from committing crimes, so gun bans won't keep them from getting guns. Even if certain guns are banned moving forward, he says, it won't take the guns already on the streets out of circulation.
Don Reimer, store manager at Shooters Edge in Piney Flats, says, "Even if there's a gun ban put in effect today, there are 350 million guns already out there. They're available for somebody."
Not every gun owner agrees. Gerry Gray is a Virginia prosecutor. "If it's one less gun that folks can have access to, then there's a possibility, not necessarily a likelihood, but a possibility that you can avoid another disaster," he told us.
Gray knows both sides of the debate; not only does he prosecute gun violence cases, but he's also a gun owner. Even so, he's in favor of banning assault-style weapons, and even thinks we should take gun-restrictions even further. "I think that not only should they not be allowed to buy them, I don't think that they should be allowed to possess them, whether they've already purchased one or not," he said.
He also supports a ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
Gun proponents, however, argue that limiting magazine size won't do much good. Dave Peterson argues, "If someone was to come in to a mall, a school, a hospital, wherever, to do a whole bunch of people harm," he said, "they pull out their weapon, they start firing, the press the button, they grab another clip. How many times can this motion happen in the average 7 to 10 minutes by the time the police get there?"
But to Gray the whole idea is to limit the ability of people who may be using a firearm for destructive purposes. Limit their ability to kill a number of people in a very short period of time, he said.
For now, the proposal to ban 120 types of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines is just that -- a proposal. It's up to lawmakers to decide what to do with that bill.

I am running version 0.26 now. Since I upgraded the backend sends now the wrong wakeuptime to setwakeup.sh. It is probably connected to the new timetable feature in 0.26. The problem is now that mythbuntu wakes up one hour too late (since we are in time zone UTC+1) thus missing the scheduled recordings.
The system time is set to UTC and the timeshift UTC+1 is correctly recognized while the system is live. Therefore, it is probably a bug in the system regarding the time handing over procedure from the backend to setwakeup.sh during the shutdown procedure.
Does anybody else recognized the problem?
Does anybody know if this bug has been detected for fixing?
Does anybody know what I can enter into setwakeup.sh in order to have a quick fix until it is fixed in the mythbuntu development?

Where I stayed
orchard inn
Not many SE Asia travellers go to Malaysia. Those that do, hit Kuala Lumpur on the peninsula and even fewer venture to Malaysian Borneo. Those that do, go to Sabah. Sarawak is a different place. If anyone goes there, they may stick to the coast - we've gone inland. Seems to be off the main radar and we're loving it! Lots of beautiful parks and friendly people. No museums, temples, or 'sites' to speak of, just the genuine area full of people doing their own thing. I should know by now that the places NOT mentioned in the guide books we will like, those that are raved about, we will not. Even Brian is having a good time! (and that surely says it all!)
However, this kind of travel does have it's disadvantages. Our stay in Sibu is one of them...no hotels made for backpackers. But we found something quite nice in Kapit and were actually able to dicker a very good price for the room. There is also a real lack of services for travellers here
Kapit is a lovely little town with a lively energy. The humidity in Sarawak is like nothing I've ever experienced though. We're using air conditioning for the first time on this trip! I've even bought myself a fan, although when I use it I feel like I should be menopausal. Beautiful afternoon clouds are followed by monsoon rains and evening lightening shows in the quiet time before the Karaoke bars come alive...

Well, this has been a secret project I've been working on. I was going to keep it a complete secret until I showed up at an event in it but, I decided after doing the first suit up today that I would show it now.
So, here it is...
So, there it is to date. I still have alot of work to get it to the point where I want it. There are so many variances in his appearance in the comic artwork and then the action figure brings some new looks as well. Basically, I used the figure as the primary inspiration for it while trying to incorporate some of the comic art as well.
Some of the work I have planned to hopefully complete to the standard I want are:
1. New balaclava. The one I have now is too small as can be seen in the side pix. Also, I want the type with the built in dickie.
2. The shoulder armor elastic bands don't work out at all like I'd hoped they would. I plan to replace them with belts.
3. The cape needs to be trimmed some and I need to work out an anchoring system for it. It needs to flow better out of the bottom of the pauldron and not stiffen and bunch up so bad.
4. I need to even out the hip pads
5. I'll probably make the leg wraps go higher up the lower leg and add another strap to the thighs.
6. The belt and loin cloth need to go up level with or slightly over the midline of the flightsuit.
7. The straps on the gauntlets will be trimmed before I wear this to an event as well.
Let me know what everyone thinks.

First time going to a Giants game despite being a longtime fan.
Quick logistics questions: Arriving from NJ Turnpike exits, what time should I arrive before game to give us some time to walk around etc.? Is there going to be a lot of traffic, say, 3 hours before game time?
Anyone ever use Vince Lombardi service area as a carpool location in? Any issues?
And how long does it take to get OUT of the new stadium and parking at end of game?
Anything else a newbie should know?
Thanks much.

Movie Review: BUCK
Meet the man who inspired Robert Redford's 1998 film The Horse Whisperer.
Director: Cindy Meehl Rating: PG Studio: Cedar Creek Productions
BUCK, a new documentary about the kind of man who inspired Nicholas Evans' novel and Robert Redford's 1998 film The Horse Whisperer, is spare, eloquent, beautiful and profoundly touching.
The centerpiece of the film, directed by first-timer Cindy Meehl, is Dan M. "Buck" Brannaman, a Wyoming cowboy who travels America 40 weeks a year helping supposedly intelligent riders understand their supposedly "dumb" horses. While some might mistake Brannaman for a touchy-feely charlatan, the firm, gentle, no-nonsense man looks suspiciously like a magician, an empath whose deep understanding of horses' fears, skittishness and traumas relates to his own history as the abused child of an alcoholic father.
When the film focuses on this intuitive man's interactions with horses which depend on communication, not subjugation Buck is hypnotic. But his interactions with horse owners are even more compelling; they strongly suggest that there are no "bad" horses but badly misguided people who own them. BUCK is a fascinating movie subject and the movie made about him, even when it occasionally rambles, is completely unforgettable.

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie's preschool proposal will likely be getting a boost from the state Senate Ways and Means Committee.
Committee Chairman David Ige said Friday that the committee, which is in the process of mulling over its version of the state budget, plans to fund the proposed early childhood program. He said senators are still debating exactly how much to set aside.
Abercrombie has said the new preschool program is his top priority this session. But the state House budget draft didn't include any funding for the proposal.
House Finance Committee Chairwoman Sylvia Luke said previously that the committee chose not to fund any proposals that are still being debated. The House budget proposal fell about $590 million short of Abercrombie's request.
The House draft also removed funding for more than 900 vacant positions in state departments.
During a Senate hearing on the budget, state department leaders urged Senate leaders to reject the proposed vacancy cuts, saying that they are indiscriminate and harmful.
Ige told The Associated Press that the Senate committee won't include those cuts in its budget proposal.
He said rather than looking at the House budget draft and revising it, the Senate committee is looking at Abercrombie's budget proposal and focusing on which of the governor's proposals should be funded.
He said after the Senate votes on its budget proposal, lawmakers from both chambers will come together to work out the differences.
Ige says the committee is aiming to publish its budget draft by April 1. He said he expects it to be somewhere between the House's $23.25 billion proposal and Abercrombie's $23.8 billion request.
He said his committee is facing less pressure than the House did when crafting its proposal because of recent positive revenue projections that the Council on Revenues released after the House Finance Committee published its budget draft.
"To be fair, timing is everything," he said. "We have more than $300 million more so we won't have to be as aggressive."

Dinner Party Tips
Being a foodie I love throwing dinner parties and seeing everyone enjoy my food. But I often run into trouble on timing dishes, using the oven for more than one purpose, and serving everything at the correct temperature. For example, I would like to serve a roasted leg of lamb accompanied by spinach pie. Both use the oven and although I would definitely like to make the pie before fussing with the lamb I still find it important to serve the spinach pie warm rather than room temp. How would you go about serving them both at the correct temperature?
What style of dinner parties do you like to throw? Buffet-style? Family-style? Plated courses? What are your secrets to pull these off?

Re: Dinner Party Tips
Double-check that you have all the ingredients the day before your dinner party.
Do as much prep (& cook/chill the veg) well in advance as you can.
Allow "Panic-time" just in case something goes wrong & you have to start again.
Remember getting suited/booted/bling'd up takes longer than you think..........so allow plenty of time to pour a drink, take a bath & look gorgeous.
Keep the menu, cooking & serving to a minimum once your guests have arrived, unless of course you have "help"!

Re: Dinner Party Tips
Include some dishes that can be made ahead - braised main dishes or homemade soups, braised red cabbage, marinated salads, dips.
Get your shopping done a day in advance and any last minute cleaning.
Set the table the night before the party, put out candles and flowers, guest towels, etc.
If possible, tag-team with your partner, one of you can man the grill in summer while the other puts the final touches on the fresh salads.
Have some music selected before guests arrive.
Have some quality ice cream or sorbet in the freezer in case you run out of time for making dessert. Make a fruit crumble with seasonal fruits if you have time and serve it warm with the ice cream.

Re: Dinner Party Tips
Hi, I know what you mean cause I used to have the same problem. So what I would suggest for this example you gave is to cook the lamb in the oven and about 10 mins before being ready, cook the spinach in a frying pan with some olive oil, garlic and some raisins, its very quick and it goes nicely with the lamb.
Also I think that 2 things baked in the oven for the same meal may not be the best choice. But thats my opinion only, dont get me wrong.
What I do for my dinner parties is: cook some starters, simple things (can give you some ideas if you like) about 3 or 4 depending on how many people I've invited and then cook 1 main course, where I usually use the oven. So the timing is normally ok cause while the main course is in the oven, I'm doing the starters in the stove.
Hope that helps in any way, cheers

Alaska Rush Technical Director Jason Leonardis recently spent time in Colorado for on the field training and to learn more about the day to day operations of Rush Soccer. Throughout the week, Jason had the opportunity to meet with the Colorado Rush administrative staff and Directors of Coaching to get a detailed overview of programs and the role that each of them plays within the club. While Jason is pleased with the overall progress being made in Alaska, he admits, "This trip allowed me to live the "Rush Way" for several days and I am confident that I will now be able to implement more of this philosophy into the day to day activity of the Alaska Rush."
Jason lived in Tokyo, Japan for eight years in which he spent several years coaching with the TFA Elite Soccer Academy. The earthquake in March forced him and his family to make the move back to the United States in which he was fortunate to land a coaching opportunity with the Alaska Rush. He has since been promoted to the Technical Director position and has played an important role in bringing leadership and stability to the club.

On 17 July, 2008, AMCRAN launches its long-awaited series of publications Anti-Terrorism Laws: ASIO, the Police and You. This series includes the third edition of the Know-Your-Rights guide in English, Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, and Urdu. Click here to download booklets.
The new anti-terrorism laws recently announced by the Attorney-General Robert McClelland raise alarm bells. At face value a number ofproposed amendments look as though they roll back some of the excess of thecurrent laws – limits to the sedition offences, a right of appeal against the use of secret evidence, and minor clarifications of the meaning and scope of some terms and offences.
Sydney, 14 August 2009 - A Muslim Civil Rights Group today cautioned against the proposed anti-terrorism law amendments announced by the Attorney-General Robert McClelland. "While we welcome the proposal to limit the period of detention without charge, we are concerned about other proposals that seek to broaden the current regime of anti-terrorism laws in a way which exacerbates its flaws," said Dr Zachariah Matthews from the Australian Muslim Civil Rights Advocacy Network (AMCRAN).
The third edition of Anti-Terror Laws: ASIO, the Police and You booklet is now available for download.
This series of publications answers general questions about Australia's anti-terrorism laws, including an explanation of the extended powers and functions of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP). Through the generous funding of the Law and Justice Foundation of NSW, the UTS Law Faculty and the UTS Students' Association, we are now able to produce translated versions in Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia and Urdu as well as the original English. This new edition includes minor corrections to some of the finer legal points and includes updates that describe the latest changes to the laws, including: the association offence, secrecy provisions, control orders, preventative detention and stop and search powers.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
New Kids On The Block
In 1985, Maurice Starr launched a citywide talent search in Boston, where he hoped to assemble an adolescent vocal group. Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jon Knight, Danny Wood, and Joe McIntyre were soon recruited to join, with Starr presiding over the young teenagers as manager, choreographer, songwriter, and producer. A contract with Columbia Records followed, and New Kids on the Block made an awkward, enthusiastic debut with their self-titled album in 1986. At the time, the group's oldest members were barely 16 years old, while McIntyre was only 12.
For their next album, 1988's Hangin' Tough, New Kids on the Block bolstered their neo-bubblegum beginnings with slick, radio-ready pop songs. From the saccharine ballad "I'll Be Loving You Forever" to the title track's stab at funk, the album spun off a seemingly endless streak of hits in 1988 and 1989. Five songs entered the Top Ten, and even the group's Christmas album (released during the height of New Kids mania in late 1989) went double platinum, effectively riding the coattails of Hangin' Tough up the Billboard charts. In another savvy marketing move, Columbia Records released a single from the group's previous album, which became a Top Ten hit in 1989 despite being three years old. It helped jump-start sales for the middling debut record, and both Hangin' Tough and New Kids on the Block climbed to multi-platinum status before the decade's end.
New Kids mania continued in 1990 with Step by Step, whose title track became the group's biggest single to date. The album sold three million copies in America -- a far cry from Hangin' Tough's eight million copies, perhaps, but a remarkable feat nevertheless -- and also fared well internationally, moving an additional 16 million units in other parts of the world. The boys supported their release with a Coke-sponsored tour, including 100 dates in the U.S. and additional performances overseas. Meanwhile, they also unveiled an extensive line of licensed merchandise -- including dolls, lunch boxes, attire, and bed sheets -- that earned the group an additional $400 million in 1991. Coupled with the sheer size of their official fan club, the modest popularity of 1991's No More Games: The Remix Album, and the amount of calls placed to "the Official NKOTB Hotline" at 1-900-909-5KID, the group's merchandising efforts made them the highest-paid entertainers of the year, beating out the likes of Michael Jackson and Madonna.
Even so, Step by Step proved to be the group's last album to enjoy such global success. The New Kids were the subject of an endless number of jokes, including allegations that they hadn't sung a note during the Hangin' Tough recording sessions. Furthermore, their teenaged audience was growing up, as signified by the failure of Step by Step's final single, "Let's Try It Again," to break the Top 40. In 1994, they rechristened themselves NKOTB (a move that was intended to distance the then twenty-something singers from their kid-oriented past) and returned with Face the Music, which showed a remarkable degree of musical maturity. The group had grown into a credible urban R&B outfit, eschewing the help of Maurice Starr and writing many of the songs themselves. Face the Music failed to replicate any shred of their previous success, however, and New Kids on the Block acrimoniously parted ways in June 1994.
Various members of the New Kids launched solo careers later in the decade, with Knight scoring a gold-selling record in 1999 and Donnie Wahlberg landing several movie roles. Attempts to reunite the group in the early 2000s proved fruitless; however, the bandmembers surprisingly reconvened in early 2008, announcing their decision to tour in support of a new album. The Block arrived later that year, followed by tour dates in Canada and America. Although critically panned, The Block nevertheless debuted at number two on the Billboard charts and sold 100,000 copies in its first week.
Despite those brisk first-week sales, The Block generated a major hit only in Canada, where "Summertime" peaked at nine on the charts. Even if further smashes were not forthcoming, The Block did re-establish NKOTB as a viable commercial concern, something they took advantage of with a succession of tours, including concert cruises and a co-headlining jaunt with the Backstreet Boys in 2011. More tours followed in 2012 and in 2013, the band returned with a new album called 10. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Andrew Leahey

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
The apartment was very clean and extremely comfortable although could do with being updated. The apartment had excellent views of Sydney. There was no information in the apartment about local amenities, such as how to get to the opera house, nearest supermarket, train station etc, The administration company for the apartment on our arrival were very poor,we rang ahead when we arrived at the Airport as requested by the office several days prior, no body answered so we had to leave a message on the answer phone, unaware if they had received this or not, we took a taxi to the apartment via the office, on arrival the office was locked up, no staff around, I had a taxi waiting on yellow lines! after about 5 minutes a member of staff appeared, extremely flustered as he had been in the pub and hadnt seen our taxi pull up! The key hand over was very rushed to the extent they omitted to tell us the number on the keyring with the room key was not the number of the apartment! Once we discovered this at the apartment, I asked the reception for assistance and was met by a very rude woman who basically told us she was busy, go away and I will speak to you when I am free, she did have enough time to point me to a road that had a pay phone! I then tried the emergency number I had for the office several times, without success nobody answered it. The said receptionist thought better of her actions and decided she would assist us. Thank god we had arrived on a domestic flight to Sydney not after our 20hour flight from the UK! Be warned if you stay here over a weekend, the pub next door is very noisy and the apartment has an extremely noisy neighbour who likes to party until 4am! Please allow about 60 dollars for a taxi from the airport, they dont like waiting around and will charge you! We did enjoy our stay in Sydney just a shame we were so tired due to the neighbour!

Fantastic view, Good bed, a little bit shabby but clean, perfect contact,
We had a great stay at his condo before our cruise. It was just as advertised and anything we needed was only a phone call away.
It was very clean when we arrived and the beds are very comfortable.
The condo is in a great location within walking distance to the CBD and Darling Harbour. We will defiantly be staying here again when we come back to Sydney.
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.
The location is very good. you can walk to most sightseeging points. But the appartment is very small ald old.
when we arrived the phone lay down on the floor amd the kitchen was dirty. the room is also very dark there is no possibilitiy for sunlight to come in. so you dont est at home because its really not nice. There is no possibilty for wireless. Also the owner wasn't really kind. we ask if you could check out a little bit later or if could
place our
baggage somewere. they just wrote back: "no", like in alot other situation. for that the price is really to hight also the cleaningfee of AUD 130 is way to
much for that little room.
The stay was comfortable & the location was very convenient. Thanks Peter :)

i'll be machine quilting mine
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
i'll be machine quilting mine
If ya'll are going to wait on me to hand quilt anything we better extend that deadline a few years!!! :D the last thing I started was a 14"x14" square.... it's about 3/4 of the way done nearly a year later
If we happen to finish before the required date
can we go ahead and send it ?? I am in and will send detailed info after I go look at my stash.
Finishing before the required date is certainly allowed. I believe I have to wait until the closing date (12/15/2011) before I make matches; I'll check with Patrice as this information is not in the instructions. Mm... yeah, let me check on that right away. Cuz I bet some of us would like to start our quilts now. (The late date is due to the fact that most people who expressed initial interest said they couldn't start until after the holidays.)
Good Morning !
I am in, I already PM you right after you posted this Still need to send you the info tho, just been busy getting stuff done for other swaps. I think this time I might have extended myself but I will not let anyone down in my swaps. Even if that means I stay up all night sewing. LOL But I am looking forward to this swap for sure!!!!
I look forward to receiving your answers to the questions.
-- Jillaine
(You joining will bring us to 14)
I'll be machine quilting mine. there's no way I can hand quilt in that short of time. :) I'm still working on hand quilting my baby quilt for my DD who will be 3 in December. And I started it right when I found out that I was pregnant.
I would like to do this swap, too. I will send you my info tomorrow nite. This sounds like alot of fun. Definitely different.
Oh with that extended date ...I would LOVE to join this group! I will PM all my info!

QNS...you're a step ahead if me. I also use self rising flour! I use the recipe on the bag...adding butter and milk. This isn't bisquick. The secret I learned from my Mom is to stir it as little as possible. I add more flour than QNS so I can pat it out. Use a rolling pin if you like.
I forgot the walnut sized hunk of butter in the date candy. In hindsight, I think my Mom used cream rather than milk. I'll try that next time.
Finished cutting out the BB and most of them started assembling. Fun thinking of all of you. Have a wonderful evening and tomorrow with your loved ones!

While weathering and color variation over time is natural for outdoor wood furniture, we recommend the following care for best results:
- Store wood furniture indoors out of season. Make sure furniture is completely dry before storage.
- Cover furniture with outdoor covers (sold separately) when left outdoors during inclement weather or when not in use.
- Store cushions separately from furniture to prevent possible transfer of moisture.
- Wipe spills with a clean dry cloth.
- Avoid the use of harsh cleaners and abrasives.
- If you wish to maintain the original color of the wood, you can apply a teak oil or sealer.
- Teak oils do provide some UV protection; however they require periodic refinish applications – once or twice per year depending on the amount of exposure to the sun.
- After sealing, covering the furniture or bringing it indoors is still recommended during inclement weather or when not in use.

Nisswa to seek bids to get firmer costs to build public restrooms/chamber office
The Nisswa City Council on Wednesday, Feb. 20, agreed to seek bids to build a public restroom/welcome center building on Main Street.
This action doesn't mean the council will build the facility; council members want firm cost estimates to decide whether to go ahead with that project.
The council originally set out to build a new public restroom facility at the site of the current building on Main Street with plans to finance an estimated $250,000-$260,000 project, as well as improvements at Nisswa City Park and the community center, with a 10- or 15-year, $500,000 abatement bond.
The chamber then asked the council to include office space in the public restroom building so the chamber could move back downtown from Nisswa Square.
The council will decide whether to include the restrooms and chamber building after it receives bids from the contractors. Such a decision is expected in early to mid-April.
The city has budgeted $57,000 toward a bond payment in 2013, and plans to budget yearly to pay the abatement bond.
That amount is based on an estimate prepared by the city's financial adviser last August during budget meetings. The actual amount will be determined once the bonds are sold; $57,000 was based on the $500,000 issuance.
Later, the financial adviser estimated that if the bond issuance was increased to $700,000 to include the chamber space, the annual payment would increase to an estimated $63,000 per year. That amount wouldn't be due in 2014, however.
Final numbers will be determined with the bonds are sold and the interest rate is locked in.
The proposed 2,514-square-foot public restroom/chamber building would include public restrooms, family restroom, mechanical room, atrium, welcome center, chamber offices and conference room.
Public safety
The council adopted an ordinance amendment to add First Responder duties to the Nisswa Fire Department.
This is a result of the former Nisswa-Lake Shore First Responders disbanding.
Fire Chief Richard Geike estimated an additional $20,000 would be needed for the fire department budget to take over the First Responder calls.
The former First Responder group transferred $17,418.75 to the fire department, which has 24 firefighters, all of whom are First Responders.
Geike said a meeting with those who contract with the Nisswa Fire Department showed all were on board with the department taking on First Responder duties.
In January, firefighters had 19 calls, including 10 medicals and three structure fires, one each in Nisswa, Pequot Lakes and Brainerd.
Police in January had 146 calls for service. Activity included 13 agency assists, 23 traffic citations, 55 traffic warnings, two arrests, eight medicals and five alarms.

Last year at this time, I was optimistic. So much for that: fall 2010 yielded a whole lot of mediocrity. This year's fall schedule looks similarly underwhelming — though spring looks more intriguing. We'll deal with shows like David Milch's Luck and J.J. Abrams's Alcatraz in January. In the meantime, here are highlights of this year's autumn contenders.
NEW GIRL | Fox | September 20 @ 9 pm | Fox is looking to test the limits of the natural charm of the polarizing actress/singer Zooey Deschanel, who's playing a quirky young woman living with three bro-ish gentlemen. People seem to find Deschanel either unfailingly adorable or too cutesy for her own good, and it's doubtful that this show will change anybody's mind. That could lead to problematic ratings on the notoriously trigger-happy Fox, but it'll probably do well enough in its time slot between Glee and Raising Hope.

(glipizide and metformin HCl) Tablets 2.5 mg/250 mg 2.5 mg/500 mg 5 mg/500 mg
METAGLIP™ (glipizide and metformin HCl) Tablets contain 2 oral antihyperglycemic drugs used in the management of type 2 diabetes, glipizide and metformin hydrochloride.
Glipizide is an oral antihyperglycemic drug of the sulfonylurea class. The chemical name for glipizide is 1-cyclohexyl-3-[[p-[2-(5-methylpyrazinecarboxamido)ethyl]phenyl]sulfonyl]urea. Glipizide is a whitish, odorless powder with a molecular formula of C21H27N5O4S, a molecular weight of 445.55 and a pKa of 5.9. It is insoluble in water and alcohols, but soluble in 0.1 N NaOH; it is freely soluble in dimethylformamide. The structural formula is represented below.
Metformin hydrochloride is an oral antihyperglycemic drug used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Metformin hydrochloride (N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide monohydrochloride) is not chemically or pharmacologically related to sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, or α-glucosidase inhibitors. It is a white to off-white crystalline compound with a molecular formula of C4H12ClN5 (monohydrochloride) and a molecular weight of 165.63. Metformin hydrochloride is freely soluble in water and is practically insoluble in acetone, ether, and chloroform. The pKa of metformin is 12.4. The pH of a 1% aqueous solution of metformin hydrochloride is 6.68. The structural formula is as shown:
METAGLIP (glipizide and metformin) is available for oral administration in tablets containing 2.5 mg glipizide with 250 mg metformin hydrochloride, 2.5 mg glipizide with 500 mg metformin hydrochloride, and 5 mg glipizide with 500 mg metformin hydrochloride. In addition, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate. The tablets are film coated, which provides color differentiation.
What are the possible side effects of glipizide and metformin (Metaglip)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
This medication may cause lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the body, which can be fatal). Lactic acidosis can start slowly and get worse over time. Get emergency medical help if you have even mild symptoms of lactic acidosis, such as: muscle pain or weakness, numb or cold feeling in your arms and legs, trouble breathing, stomach pain, nausea with vomiting, slow or uneven heart rate,...

text: I am estimating I will have 20-30 supers to extract in June. I currently have a 9 frame radial hand crank from Brushy Mtn. I am expecting to be running about 25 honey producing hives next year. It would be interesting to hear what size extractors individuals are using for their hive counts. I am expecting a long extracting day/night this year and will probably use the proceeds to buy a 18-20 frame extractor for next year. The 18-20 frame extractor seems to be the sweet spot for the small sideliner.

Kitchen Cleaning Tips
Today I was cleaning the oven, a job I hate. And as I there scrubbing away, I wondered if anyone had any tips to make it easier.
This led me to think that there is so much experience on the forums, there must be loads of great tips to be shared.
So here's one I got from my sister-in-law, to clean a burnt on spill on a ceramic hob, wipe it with a damp cloth, then scrub it with a sugar cube. It's abrasive enough to get things off, but won't scratch the glass.

Re: Kitchen Cleaning Tips
Line the bottom of the oven with foil or leave a large tray in the bottom to collect all the drips and wipe out weekly to avoid anything getting baked on.
If anything does get stubborn to remove place a tray of hot water in the oven and turn on low to allow the steam to soften the dirty spot

Re: Kitchen Cleaning Tips
I keep my pantry items (spices, cans, etc) in small tubs. That way when I want to clean out a shelf I don't have to remove each item one at a time.
About once a week or so I disinfect all door handles, refrigerator handles, light switches with chlorine.
Buying a cordless vacuum was the best thing I ever did. I pull it out every day to pick up crumbs in the kitchen.
Ditto on the self-cleaning ovens. Get thee quick to an appliance store!

Re: Kitchen Cleaning Tips
I want Roomba and the one that washes the kitchen floor automagically on schedule even when you're not at home! Who will empty the dirt from the machine though? They need to program that thing to run over to the toilet and dump the old water, run over to the trash and empty the dust bag. Then, it should go out and rake the leaves, sweep the walk and when it gets a chance, run to the post office for stamps.

I've been watching my observation hive since they started raising brood again. I watched the queen lay and them cap it in 8 days. I put marks on the glass so I could track the six they capped first. Since then they have chewed out three of the six. Probably because of mites. They were the first chance the mites had for a long time to reproduce so the first ones probably were more likely to get infested than the later ones. They were nice white and healthy looking larvae when they chewed them out. In looking at the chewed out pattern I wouldn't say it's extremely peppered, but it is puncuated by empty cells scattered all over. Since this is a sign of a hygenic hive that is chewing out cells, as well as a sign of a queen laying a bad pattern (in this case I watched her lay them, the workers cap them and the workers chew them out) or a brood disease, I'm thinking we need to be careful about what we infer from a peepered pattern of brood. We have traditionally culled queens when a peppered brood pattern is observed when that may actually be a sign that the bees are chewing out infested or diseased larvae.
Maybe we've been doing this backwards for a long time.

Discussion in '2008 Playoffs' started by max, Apr 26, 2008.
I come from a place even more remote than Antarctica...
Tatooine, Idaho. Population 267. All related.
Slippywalker, there is something I need to share with you...
I had heard it's a very close-knit community...now I know why
Please don't encourage him.
Sheed did not have it in game 3, but billups has not had it for two years. I knew sheed would have a tough time in game 3, but it was up to billups to step up. No making excuses for sheed because he did not do it defensively either, but i am more concerned about billups.
i posted before game 3 that we will lose that game but game 4 is guaranteed. I still hold my words... Game 4 is guaranteed and we win in 6.
I might not be able to make it for chat during the game. Hopefully the Pistons will show more dedication to it than I will. ;)
It's the coach. It's not the coach. How do you motivate these guys and their money? To me it seems you motivate these guys by showing what you have when things aren't working. Cold shooting happens. Do you have a system/philosophy in place where the sum is greater than the parts? Flip does not and the players know it. They won't kill themselves for him because he can't do it for them. These are the same players from '04 & '05, but the results are different. When DET was down 3-2 to CLE last year people said they were more confident at that point than when it was 2-2. Different teams and age has nothing to do with it. I really won't be surprised to see them lose this series. That being said, things were beyond bad in G3. Sheed was nailed to the floor during rebounds. The turnovers!?!? Something flukey beyond laying down on Flip was going on. Wether we like it or not, we are lumped in with the Nuggets and Suns of the world. Stats aside, we give up as many lay-ups as those teams do on D. There is no shame in losing. Teams like Washington and Houston got heart. The Pistons........? Philly should sign some dude off the street to run the point for them and see if he/she outplays "The Superstar" Chauncey Billups.
DETNEWS | Weblog | Pistons Blog wonder if that came from joe d? either way that's encouraging
Does the old saying - I have to see it to believe it come to mind? Or, how about; talk is cheap??
What's discouraging is that Flip can't figure this stuff out during games like gm 3, but instead either figures it out after the game or has to be told by someone else. Joe D should invest in a headset for Flip, or is that not legal in the NBA?
Yeah he always seems to be 2 or 3 steps behind a good coach like Mo Cheeks. The only thing he adjusts in-game is his tie when his twitch kicks in.
CHAT IS OPEN! * link removed *
Please let this be true Although i think a player will be moved as well. It feels like it's an early Christmas with all these articles. AA/Amir!. I'm definately Tivo'ing this game. I agree though the delayed reaction is pretty discouraging.
is this really happening?
Just unbelievable........sheed is not going to make ........he looks ready to implode again...........I cannot believe the turnovers and poor shooting...incredible
reminds me of last year when we used to tread water for 3 quarters and throw a haymaker in the 3rd. pretty encouraging in the sense that it feels like we have the momentum. as far as this sesries goes.
Well, one quarter does not a series make...but I think we will put the foot on the throat in Game 5. somebody brought up the pick and roll in the third(Flip?) But I think it was just us making shots and rotating on D. and I didnt like the 2 min end of game sixers finish either... Break out the War Face!!!!!!

NASA Sends New Year's Greeting to NYCDate: 12/30/2013
Category: Mission News & Science
By: Andy Shaner
NASA astronauts will help ring in 2014 by sending greetings from space and from Earth to the crowd gathered in New York's Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Astronaut Mike Massimino will participate in the New Year's Eve Countdown event on Tuesday evening, Dec. 31. He also will introduce a video greeting from Expedition 36 flight engineer Karen Nyberg, who returned from the International Space Station in November, and from three of the astronauts currently on board the space station: NASA's Rick Mastracchio and Mike Hopkins, and Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
The New Year's countdown will be shown from 6 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. EST on the Toshiba Vision screen atop One Times Square, right below the New Year countdown ball. Eddie Temistokle, senior manager of corporate communications and corporate social responsibility for Toshiba America Inc., will welcome Massimino to the stage at 9:47 p.m.
Mastracchio, Hopkins and Wakata are part of a six-member crew currently on the orbiting laboratory, along with Oleg Kotov, Mikhail Tyurin and Sergey Ryazanski of the Russian Federal Space Agency.
Prominently positioned below the world-famous Times Square New Year's Eve Ball, the dual LED screens will allow revelers in Times Square to see this special greeting from space.
Several NASA events have been broadcast in Times Square, including the Curiosity rover landing on Mars, which drew thousands of viewers, and the launches of two other spacecraft.

Hi everyone,
I am fairly new to the forum so forgive me if this has already been discussed.
After searching through the Warre forum for a while I found several threads where folks have trouble getting their bees to move down beyond the second box. There was some speculation as to why, but I am wondering if sometimes it is just a matter of timing. Particularly with a first year package install.
Last year I installed a new package of bees in a new Warre hive. Like many others describe, they started out great guns and quickly built out the first two boxes then stalled out. Not only did they stall but they got mean and started building queen cells (although I don't think they ever swarmed). I thought maybe they had lost their queen but now I'm not so sure. I recently read an article at the Warre Store website about supering a Warre hive (http://www.thewarrestore.com/superingawarre.htmand) and now I think maybe they stopped building comb because they had enough brood to suit their needs and since they will not store honey above the brood they had nothing to do until the brood hatched. This article speculates that they get idle and cranky because they have nothing to do.... Idle bees are the devil's workshop????
What do you think based on your experiences?

How to Prepare
What is the first rule in foreign travel?
Follow the Boy Scouts advice, and "be prepared."
Above all, you want to have a safe and secure study abroad experience. One of the best rules of thumb is to use your common sense. Read the following information before you leave, and spend a little time thinking about some of the basics of being a safe traveler while you're adventuring.
Always be prepared for any circumstance. Do not think, "It can't or won't happen to me." You don't have to be frightened when you embark on a study abroad experience, but you should remember that you're operating under a completely different set of circumstances than you've been used to. Your "comfort zone" will vary depending on how secure you feel in your new environment. You should plan to act even more responsibly than you would at home.
When you first arrive in a foreign country, you might feel somewhat disoriented and uncertain of your new surroundings. Don't forget to lock your room, keep your purse or backpack secure and do not become careless. Be particularly vigilant about your personal possessions the first week or two after your arrival.
Make copies of your travelers checks and credit cards, and leave a copy at home. Know your credit card numbers. In the event of your cards being lost or stolen, you will want to be able to call the credit card company to put a hold on them. Many credit card companies have toll free numbers that you can call from abroad, so check with your credit card providers before you leave. In addition, you should know the numbers of each of your travelers checks and store your receipt in a place separate from where you keep your checks.
Become familiar with the basic laws and customs of the country you plan to visit before you travel. Do not assume that because it is legal in the U.S., it is legal everywhere. Remember, while in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws. Avoid public demonstrations, even peaceful ones. If there should be any political unrest, don't get involved.
What precautions should I take while traveling abroad?
Try to act like you know what you are doing and where you are going, so that you are less easily identified as a newcomer. Whether you are on foot or in a car, be aware of everyone around you and assess their probable intentions. This means occasionally looking behind you.
Try to walk in groups of four or more, especially at night or in areas with high crime rates. In most cases, the bigger your group, the safer you are.
Avoid wearing conspicuous clothing and expensive jewelry.
Remember that your life is more valuable than any of your possessions. Learn the transport system, so you'll know how to get home.
Do not hitchhike. Read guidebooks and ask locals about the taxis.
Do not leave your bags or belongings unattended at any time. Security personnel in airports and train stations are instructed to remove or destroy any unattended luggage. Do not agree to carry or look after packages or suitcases for anyone.
Never keep all of your important documents and money in one place or suitcase.
Have sufficient funds or a credit card on hand to purchase emergency items. At the same time, don't carry excessive amounts of cash or any unnecessary credit cards.
Learn what the locals do to protect themselves (neighborhoods to avoid, places that are known to be safe, where to walk, where to shop, etc.)
Take nothing of great value with you when you go out, and try to carry as little cash as possible.
What resources are available?
There are lots of on-line resources that provide safety information for travelers in general or specifically for study abroad students. Some of those resources, which we advise you to consult, are listed below:
- U.S. State Department booklet "A Safe Trip Abroad"
- U.S. State Department General Site
- U.S. Embassies Recommendations to Americans Abroad
- Association for International Road Safety
- Federal Aviation Administration
- Studyabroad.com Health and Safety
Emergencies and Emergency Procedures
Fortunately, true emergencies are actually quite rare. You may lose your luggage, your plane ticket, or even your passport while you are abroad. While any of those occurrences would certainly be inconvenient, none is an emergency. Emergencies are situations in which there is an immediate threat to a student or staff member's health and/or safety.
We advise you to:
- Make sure you know how to use the telephone and have a calling card or other means of using the telephone in the country(-is) that you visit as part of the program or on your own.
- Although it is possible to get a passport from the Houston passport office in a day, it's more expensive than applying one through normal channels, and it involves a trip to Houston. You might consider asking your parents or designated emergency contact to obtain a passport so that they'll be prepared if they need to go abroad to help you in an emergency.
How do I deal with emergencies?
Emergencies Abroad (For Faculty-Led Study Abroad Participants)
Tarleton State University has an emergency procedures plan in its Study Abroad division. If you witness an emergency or are in an emergency situation yourself, your first call (after you have attended to any life-threatening matters, of course) should be to the faculty leader of your program. Your faculty leader will provide you with information on how to reach him/her, or another designated contact, in case of an emergency. The emergency contact for your program will then contact Tarleton State University to activate the emergencies procedures.
If you need to contact Tarleton State University campus for an emergency reason, you should call the Control Center at 888.214.4636.
Emergencies Abroad (For Exchange Participants)
Before you leave the United States, get the address and phone number of the U.S. Consulate or Embassy closest to your host city. These addresses and phone numbers can be obtained on the web at:http://www.usembassy.gov. When you arrive in the host country, you should register with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate by providing them with information on the length of your stay and information on how to reach you.
When you arrive at your host institution, you should ask what emergency procedures and resources will be available to you there. If you witness an emergency or are in an emergency situation yourself, your first call (after you have attended to any life-threatening matters, of course) should be to the appropriate person at your host institution. If you need to contact Tarleton State University campus for an emergency reason, you should call the Control Center at 888.214.4636.
How do I stay in touch with loved ones?
Staying in Touch
While abroad, you'll want to be able to communicate with your parents and others directly about your safety and well-being. People need to know how to get in touch with you, especially if you are away from your program city or traveling on your own before or after the program. If there is an emergency in your family, your family will want to be able to reach you.
We advise you to:
Develop a plan for regular telephone calls and/or e-mail contact with your family and others with whom you wish to stay in contact. Develop your plan before your departure.
If there is an emergency that requires you to leave your program and return to the U.S. for any length of time, you should notify your faculty leader.
Make sure that someone always knows where and how to contact you in an emergency and knows your schedule and itinerary when you are traveling.

Clinton's Formal Recognition of Rebel Libyan Gov't
Original post made by Cindy Cross, Parkside, on Jul 18, 2011
by Cindy Cross
The United States officially recognized the Libyan rebels, also known as the Transitional National Council, or TNC, as the new interim Libyan government. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made the announcement at a conference in Istanbul on Friday. "So I am announcing today that, until an interim authority is in place, the United States will recognize the TNC as the legitimate governing authority for Libya, and we will deal with it on that basis," said Clinton.
Recognition of the TNC could give the new Libyan regime access to assets that have been frozen by the Unites States government. How much money and how the money will be spent is anyone's guess. Weapons and Swiss bank accounts come immediately to mind.
U.S. officials and the TNC met in a private meeting today in Tunisia which lasted three hours. Neither side would disclose what was discussed or negotiated. A laundry list of U.S. demands contingent on releasing the frozen assets would be my bet for what the talks entailed.
Over 30 countries have formally recognized the TNC with the exception of France who is still in talks directly with Moammar Gaddafi.
Questions we need answered is just who these rebels are. Who is the official leader, what kind of government they plan on running, and how they want to deal with Gaddafi if or when he steps down.
What if the TNC fails and Gaddafi regains his power in Libya? We will be dealing with the same Gaddafi from the 1970's who took responsibility for blatant terrorist acts such as the bombing of the 747 passenger jet over Lockerby, Scotland.
For over a decade Moammar Gaddafi joined the rest of the global community and renounced terrorism outright. Not to say that he was a perfect angel, not by a long shot, but he at least we knew who we were dealing with. These rebels could turn out to be hard line caliphs. We just don't know.
After the civil war and the NATO bombing, dealing with Gaddafi will be like grabbing a tiger by its tail. I see a triumphant Gaddafi embracing terrorism and its main focus of his wrath—the Unites States.
We shouldn't count our puppets until their strings are thoroughly attached.

First of all, the countries and imperilists involved in the Libyan conflict are aware of who the rebels are. The rest of the sheeple who are shadowed from the truth by powers to be through mass media propaganda and disinformation can find out the true identity of the so called "rebels or TNC" as they are so romantically named, by simple process of elimination.
We can eliminate. quite obviously. that the Libyan rebels are not the indigenous, pro-democracy, fighters for freedom we are made to believe. However, a recent Washington Post article tells a baseless tale of reluctant rebel fighters, sickened by the sight of blood, and hampered by concerns of "families in the way" on the road to Tripoli. This ludicrous assertion is quickly debunked after a Human Rights Watch report, confirmed by defacto rebel "prime minister" Mahmoud Jibril. Indicated that towns seized by these very rebel forces underwent ethnic motivated violence, looting, beatings, detainments, and other abuses including shooting off rival tribesmen's feet.
Next we can eliminate the TNC as repressed multi-tribal group of peace and democracy seeking Muslims. A US Army West Point report concluded the second largest contributor (after Saudi Arabia) to foreign fighters killing US soldiers in Iraq came from Libya's Benghazi, Darna, and Tobruk areas, the heart of Libya's current rebellion.
Also. Any true Libyan "rebels in a country already fighting a civil war within the country would undoubtedly drop their weapons and accept their current government situation before they would appeal to the US for any intervention knowing that would open the Pandora's box and call on the same demise as their neighboring countries.
I could go on but the bottom line is that the so-called Libyan "rebels" are on record having been funded and supported for nearly 3 decades by the United States and Britain in their bid to oust Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi. The most recent rebellion after decades of terrorist campaigns, was literally directed out of both Washington and London via the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, with opposition leader Ibrahim Sahad pleading for foreign intervention against Qaddafi while sitting directly in front of the white house.
It has also been proven that Gadaffi and Lybian terrorists were not responsible for the bombing of the 747 passenger jet over Lockerby, Scotland. And with that proof, Gadaffi had reciently petitioned the US and international council for compensation of loss due to resulting sanctions. And YES return of frozen money assets by foreign banks. Ironicaly only a small portion of the seized assets are accounted for by the US. Hmmmm….. go figure!

We as Americans will recognize anyone as the legitimate leader who keeps the oil flowing, the Europeans, France notwithstanding, as well. At the moment what is happening in Libya, as well as most of the Arab nations, is a revolt against oppressive leaders who deny them jobs and the possibility to prosper, therefore we should continue doing what we are doing so that the Arab Spring meets its destiny.

Where I stayed
Tom, Supa, and Elise's home
Today, we (Supa and I) went to the temple and took the monks food. We visited with Supa's friends and relatives, while the monks ate, then participated in the prayers. After that, we ate. While Supa, and some others did the dishes, I was invited to talk with the senior (?) monk. He spoke English and invited me to ask questions. We sat in a room and had a long conversation about Budahism, Thailand, and family. I was charmed and honored. I will post some pictures on this (when I figure it out!). One of Supa's nephews is a new monk.
Tomorrow, we will fly from San Antonio to Dallas, Dallas to Tokyo, and Tokyo to Bangkok. We plan to spend much of the day in Bangkok, then travel by van to Ubon Ratchathani. I am so excited, and have no idea what to expect.

My gosh! I've heard of this tech caller being really strict but after actually looking over the protocols..... 22 or more underrotations called in the FS and 9ish of those were called on double jumps. More respect for those ladies that didn't get any UR called even if they singled or doubled the jump.. Sigh I hope Mirai doesn't get this guy as the caller in France
On a happier not congrats to Kanako for her first GP win!!!
Are programs available on youtube yet?
Well, as per her sister's posts on Caroline's FB page, Caroline has been working her butt off this off-season on correcting her flip. That her flip now looks perfectly normal compared to the monstrosity it was last season is indicative of how much work Caroline must've put into fixing it; it wouldn't surprise me that her other jumps and elements fell by the wayside as a result. This is the first season since she's started major work on fixing her technique and people are already expecting miracles. Lovely.
(1) best GPF result
(2) best Nationals result
(3) federation recommendation
Mao's in for sure (either #2 or #3). My gut feeing is that Kanako and Miki (#1), who's pretty consistent, will get the go, leaving Akiko out. Too bad. Her programs for this season are not as good as her last, but I enjoy her more than Miki. An upset could leave Miki out and Akiko in, but Kanko's in for sure. She's getting loads of media coverage as the rising star who combines the best out of Yu-na and Mao. Don't think Akiko gets as much love & it's not like the Japanese fed doesn't curb a few rules for a media favorite (Miki & Yukari 2006).
I haven't seen the programs yet, but Kanako got straight +2 GOE (although with 0.7 factor) for her 3T-3T Does that make her the second lady with a 3-3+2.0 GOE after Yu-na?
Congratulations to the medalists, esp. Kanako for her first senior gold!
One thing I like this season is the new spiral rules. Several of the ladies are doing really nice spirals as choreographic highlights without all the contortionism of required positions that we used to see.
I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but it seems like Kanako's flutz is getting better. You could tell she was trying to hold the outside edge longer, and when she did flip over to the inside edge, it wasn't as deep as it was last year.

I'm not getting rid of AB or Web, but they'd have to take pay cuts. AB still has value, but he CAN'T be used as much as he is and he won't next year with Brown coming back and Wilson having a year under his belt. As for Web, I have a strong feeling that he's been playing with injuries the entire year, but our secondary is so depleted that we needed to throw him out there. Why is everyone so quick to get rid of Web? The guy's been one of the best CB's for the previous 4 or 5 years.
Generally speaking, I'd focus on strengthening the D and O lines.

Birth that affected baby's development one of 360 serious events in last year.
A baby was harmed by a difficult birth at Waikato Hospital following delays caused in part by staff failing to notice heart-rate abnormalities.
The infant, who has been left with developmental delays, is one of the statistics in the annual tallying-up of patient disasters at our public hospitals.
The Health Quality and Safety Commission said there were 360 reported serious or sentinel adverse events in the year to July 31, in which 91 patients died, although not necessarily from the event.
In 2010/11, there were 370 cases, including 86 deaths. "Serious" means an event that led to significant extra treatment, while "sentinel" means life-threatening, fatal, or the cause of major loss of function.
The Waikato District Health Board report on its mistakes and other events, such as an inpatient's suicide, says that in the baby's case, the failure to notice problems in the fetal heart rate was one of several factors that contributed to delays in the baby's delivery by caesarean section.
Others were having too few staff for a delivery suite that was full that day, and delays in putting in an epidural.
The mother was earlier in labour in the hospital's assessment unit and had a belt around her tummy to allow the baby's heart rate, in relation to contractions, to be monitored by a cardiotocograph (CTG) recording machine.
Chief medical adviser Dr Tom Watson said staff misinterpreted the CTG trace.
When the first serious and sentinel event reports were made public in 2008, they disclosed that eight babies had died in three years in cases which involved fetal or heart-rate monitoring problems. Hutt Valley and Canterbury DHBs had given staff training, only to have another baby die in similar circumstances.
The Waikato DHB also implemented a training programme in reading and understanding fetal heartbeat monitoring, as well as other changes to reduce delivery delays for babies in distress.
Dr Watson said that previously the staff in the assessment area, where the woman was in labour, weren't as highly trained in fetal heart monitoring as others in the women's health unit.
Midwifery Council chairwoman Dr Judith McAara-Couper said she wasn't aware of any problems with midwives' use of CTG monitoring. Most midwives had completed training in CTG monitoring in the past five years and it was also part of the university midwifery education.
Hospital failures
Auckland DHB
* Breathing tube accidentally displaced during trauma patient's CT scan. Causes fatal additional brain injury due to lack of oxygen.
* Woman dies following multiple re-operations needed because of injury to bowel during gynaecological surgery.
* "Clinic outcome" form lost, so no follow-up appointment. Patient goes blind in their only seeing eye.
* False-negative laboratory test result. Death of a fetus.
Counties Manukau DHB
* Delay in recognising a ruptured uterus in a pregnant woman who had previously had a caesarean delivery. Baby stillborn. Woman loses her uterus.
Waikato DHB
