Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a concept or idea that spreads very quickly via the Internet
'Memes are filling the top of Twitter's most talked about topics on the morning of July 21. The meme "#weallgotthatonefriend" takes the top position in Twitter's trending topics. We all got that one friend … "who is only a 'friend' when they need something," "that always wants advice but never takes it" or "that's never on time for anything," tweet microbloggers.'The Independent, UK 21st July 2010
News travels fast, and since the invention of the Internet, it travels even faster. We humans love to share ideas, we love to be 'in the know' about the hottest topics. This thirst for communication, coupled with the hyper-speed by which information travels in the virtual universe, has given us a new take on the concept of the meme.
a key facet of a meme is that it is voluntary, a communication which spreads from one place to the next without any kind of compulsion or automation
A meme, or, more precisely, an Internet meme, is some kind of idea or piece of information that spreads very rapidly across a large number of Internet users. It's a bit like the online equivalent of an inside joke, a fashionable, attention-grabbing concept that a large number of Internet users become aware of. A meme often takes the form of a hyperlink, propagated via e-mail, blogs, social networking, instant messaging, etc. like a kind of virtual Chinese whisper. A meme might be a joke or quotation, a rumour or simple fact, an image, piece of video, or even a particular website – virtually any titbit that can be passed from one person to another via electronic communication. A key facet of a meme is that it is voluntary, a communication which spreads from one place to the next without any kind of compulsion or automation. Memes might stay the same as they transfer from one source to another, but can sometimes 'evolve', modified or expanded by each new recipient. They can also fade as fast as they spread, ascending in popularity and then disappearing within a matter of days.
Not surprisingly, marketing and advertising professionals have been quick to recognize the potential of the meme, which can be used to create a kind of 'buzz' around a particular product or service. This ties in with the concept of what is often referred to as viral marketing, an Internet marketing strategy which uses pre-existing social networks (real-world or virtual) to increase brand awareness or product sales. Memes can be very effective in generating positive publicity, convincing people that something is trendy and therefore useful, clever, etc. even though this may not be the view of real critics. Memes can also be exploited in the domain of politics or public relations, where they can be used as a way to shape opinions.
The word meme was first coined in 1976 by British scientist Richard Dawkins, in his bestselling book, The Selfish Gene. The book tackles a discussion of evolutionary principles, and introduces the concept of a meme in connection with the spread of cultural phenomena. In this original sense, meme refers to any unit of cultural information: ideas, behaviour, language etc, which spreads from one person to another in the real world, typically through simple verbal communication. Examples of memes given in the book include musical melodies, catchphrases, fashion and religious beliefs.
Modelled on the form of the word gene, meme is a shortened form of Greek mimēma, meaning 'something imitated'. In his theory of memetics, Dawkins argues that, echoing the way a species evolves as genes mutate, culture evolves through memes which, either accidentally or deliberately, can change as they are copied and passed from one source to another.

Bobby Ghosh:
Why global jihad is losing
Throughout the history of Islam, says journalist Bobby Ghosh, there have been two sides to jihad: one, internal, a personal struggle to be better, the other external. A small minority has appropriated the second meaning, using it as an excuse for deadly global violence against "the West." Ghosh suggests it's time to reclaim the word.

How I Bought a House at 25
Homeownership has always been important to me, even at a young age. I spent my teens thinking about my future home and I spent my early 20s working towards it. I rationalized that I had to live somewhere. Why not pay myself rather than pay a landlord?
The details of the property didn't matter as much as having my name on the deed. For me this was the ultimate prize. I read books and magazines on the topic of mortgage rates and I followed the newest trends in design.
My plan was to live with my parents, work two jobs and save for a down-payment. In my free time I walked through open houses and combed MLS listings.
My future vision included hosting dinner parties, choosing paint colours and imagining a master ensuite. I was ready to be an adult. After years of extra shifts, non-existent weekends and few vacations, I found my dream home when I was 25-- a small townhouse in a community well east of Toronto.
I had that fabulous dinner party and chose designer colours but didn't bank on the major roof repair and increasing property taxes. My dream quickly met reality.
In between watching my savings dwindle and researching night courses in plumbing, sometimes I would ask myself, what was I thinking? I could free up this money to travel the world, get another degree or rent in the big city. After all, most of my friends were world travelers living interesting lives, was my decision the right one?
I spent five years in that house, and in a way, I grew into my adult self there. I learned slowly how to manage my finances, how to be accountable and self-sufficient. Every now and again I would complain about the sacrifices I had to make, such as living further away from my friends and commuting longer hours to work, but I never really regretted my decision.
About a year ago I decided to sell my townhouse and move to the city. I had built up some equity and could start my search for the elusive Toronto condo. I would return home on weekends discouraged by my real estate options. Condos were so small and so much money!
After multiple failed bids I took a step back to re-evaluate. Eventually, I landed in the Toronto real estate market with a condo that fit my needs. Despite a bidding war, I managed to go just above my budget.
In order to maximize the profit on my townhouse, I decided to sell privately. Even though I had a good friend who is a realtor (sorry Mike). With a "For Sale" sign from Staples and a balloon bouquet, Mom and I held an open house. Within four days I had an offer on the table and a good lawyer to hold my hand through the close. The real estate savings added to the affordability of my downtown purchase.
All I can say at this point is no regrets and the dream continues...

A Summary of the City of San Antonio's Municipal Government

text: Talking about the federal budget for FY (fiscal year) 2012, which runs from next October to September 2012, seems a little like getting the cart before the horse. After all, Congress still is trying to work out budget details for the current fiscal year. In other words, the country is being run without a current budget in place. It will be interesting to see how that all plays out. There are threats of a possible shutdown of government tomorrow if some agreement isn't reached. But the battle lines we're talking about here are for the next fiscal year (FY 2012). We now know more about the two major budget proposals . . . that of the Obama Administration and that from Paul Ryan (R.-Wis), chair of the House Budget Committee. Not surprisingly, there are big differences of opinion. And the big differences apply to agriculture as well as most other budget categories. In a summary published yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, the bottom line was that both budgets involve reducing direct payments to farmers and crop insurance subsidies. The big difference was in the amount of the reduction. The Obama plan would cut $4 billion over 10 years. The Ryan plan would cut $30 billion over 10 years. Of course, what Congress comes up with most probably will be someplace in between the two proposals. And it may be well into FY 2012 before the budget is finalized. There are big implications for the dairy industry and all of agriculture in this. First and foremost, how can you write a farm bill when you don't know how much money you're going to have? Also, how much money will be available for dairy programs? There have been concerns that the margin protection portion of the National Milk Producers Federation Foundation for the Future (FFTF) plan would be too costly. However, National Milk expects that the treasury savings from discontinuing the dairy price support program and the MILC program would be enough to fund the FFTF proposal. One concern we have is that both budget camps are looking at record commodity prices and record net farm income and thinking everything is wonderful in agriculture. They say, "A time when people are making a lot of money would be a good time to ratchet down direct payments and other subsidies." Well, of course, things are not so rosy for those of us who buy the commodities to make milk and meat. Somebody needs to get that message to budget writers. It could be many months - possibly a year or more - before we see any clear direction on the federal budget of the future and what kind of agriculture/dairy policy directions our industry takes. It will be a long, bumpy, and frustrating ride!

Ride the Gravy Train in the Cumberland Valley
The Inn at Ragged Edge • Chambersburg, PA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two
- Wine, Fruit, and Cheese In Room Upon Arrival
- Up to Six Tastings for Two at Adams County Winery
- Box of Gourmet Chocolates from Local Chocolatier and Fresh Flower Bouquet
- Two Tickets for Gettysburg "Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience"
When your life moves as quickly as a jet plane, you need a getaway to move at a train's pace. Settle into the calming speed of a two-night Escape at The Inn at Ragged Edge, and take in the pastoral setting of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania ($274).
Stationed amid breeze-swept trees and a meandering stream—and just a quick transfer from the Gettysburg National Military Park and surrounding wineries—this historic mansion is your one-way ticket to a relaxing holiday. Bring a plus one aboard, and set your sights on one of the inn's nine traditional accommodations.
Roll past the porch that once welcomed the dignified guests of Colonel Moorhead C. Kennedy, the celebrated president of the Cumberland Valley Railroad and vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at the turn of the 20th century. Turn into your room—where you'll find wine, fruit, cheese, and fresh flowers—and cool your engines on a cozy king- or queen-size bed.
Spin your wheels to the Adams County Winery for up to six courtesy tastings for two, and then see how many fellow wineries can fit into your timetable on the Mason-Dixon Wine Trail. After dinner, bring along your included gourmet chocolates to a movie at the Majestic Theater in downtown Gettysburg.
Stay on the comfort track, even if you have to check your emails on the inn's free Wi-Fi, by spending your morning in a plush robe. Chug, chug, chug a cup of coffee alongside your fresh breakfast, and then detour to the Gettysburg battlefield with your two tickets for the "Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience" in tow.
"There are few landmarks as touching as the Gettysburg National Military Park... More than 30 miles of marked roads lead through the park, highlighting key battle sites," Fodor's says.
Return to the inn to drink the last of your wine on the wide front porch, and then sound your whistle for a return trip home.
Load up your steerage and embark on this slow-paced Escape—or you may end up kicking yourself in the caboose.
"The front porch is wide, lengthy, and perfect for watching the sunset. The grounds are expansive, with plenty of nooks and crannies to settle in with a good book or good conversation. If you want to run away, go here."-- BedandBreakfast.com

A Model for Labor Laws
A Model for Labor Laws
More From Sara
Sara's Biography
Ideal Interview Subject: Gloria Steinem
Childhood Career Ambitions: Veterinarian
Role Models: Dorian Warren
Biggest Challenge for the Next Generation: Identifying with each other across generations.
At the age of 14, Sara Ziff was walking home from school in New York City, when she was scouted to become a model. Ziff's experiences as a young model eventually fed into a desire to improve the working conditions in this highly unregulated and secretive industry. She has stated that she knew, as a teenager, that this work "would become more than just modeling...more meaningful to her in other ways." At the age of 18, Ziff began modeling full-time and began documenting her life with the help of then-boyfriend and filmmaker, Ole Schell. What initially began as a video diary eventually became the award-winning documentary, Picture Me, a film that explores some of the darker sides of the modeling industry through focusing both on Ziff's personal experiences and those of her fellow models. She has since returned to university, graduating magna cum laude from Columbia University with a degree in political science.
She has become a vocal advocate for better working conditions in the modeling industry, founding the Model Alliance in 2011. Working with the Council of Fashion Designers of America, headed by Diane von Furstenberg, the nonprofit Model Alliance tries to work with the designers and other industry leaders to establish fair labor standards within the American fashion industry.

Town Square
"Mr. Peterson, who is your District 2 candidate?"
Original post made by [removed], Alamo, on Nov 28, 2011
A letter is now being sent to District Attorney Peterson with copy to Sheriff Livingston asking for their proposed candidate for district 2 supervisor. Discovery of polling of potential candidates with strong public safety positions has occurred during the past two weeks and 4 recognizable individuals have emerged.
As a journalist, 24/680 south neighborhoods are inviting you to discover who is that candidate that will oppose the machine politics' candidate, Tomi van de Brooke?

There you go again!
Unless a candidate has already declared you are simply asking a silly question which will most likely not be responded two by either the DA or the Sheriff. (Serious candidates would have already declared and both of these elected offices know that). Running for County Supervisor is not a last minute decision and requires early effort. In case you have not figured it out, the clock has already struck midnight.
Good luck chasing windmills.

Dear Editor,
As we shared with Tomi and you today by private e-mail, you might explain the power of e-viral campaigns as today's tools for a majority of voters, in their neighborhoods forums, to elect local and regional candidates of their choice.
A decade ago public campaigns ruled voters' choice, but with the advent of social media, intranet and e-viral campaigning their simply is no need for ancient public campaign tactics. A majority picks their candidate quite privately and votes that choice on election day.
In the present campaign for district 2, endorsements label candidates more than identify them with a majority of voters. The overlay of machine politics simply amplifies opposition among a majority of voters to such chosen candidates. It becomes the majority of voters opposed to the political choice.
Quite amazing and a great story for your particular talents.

e-viral campaigns?
The advent of social media, intranet and e-viral campaigning?
Machine politics?
Private e-mail?
Seriously, why is everything political such a conspiracy to you? Have you ever given any consideration to the possibility that you just may not be seeing the forest for the trees?
You got waxed in the last election cycle with your predictions. What makes you think this one will be any different?
As often as you, and/or CDSI Research cite figures, < and > signs, I would think you would know the difference between a majority and minority. It appears to me that you are just angry that you are on the wrong side of the equation.

Fair question? Really you think so? On a blog where people use anonymous names, initials, and post under multiple monikers? Sorry friend, but I don't give out personal information. Just one of those funny little rules of mine regarding the internet.
But thanks for indirectly answering a question that I had about you.

Dear Editor,
Informed Resident(s) authors and supporters are known and published by multiple news sources. As a function of the "ONE Campaign" described in this morning's subscriber distribution by news services, Informed Resident(s) are identified as residents of Alamo and Danville and linked to Mark DeSaulnier's plans to maintain the status quo in Contra Costa County and Tri-Valley politics. Like many front organizations for such campaigns, Informed Resident(s) are focused on efforts to restrict opposition to Tomi van de Brooke and Mary Piepho in the June 2012 primary elections.
In preparation for release of the "ONE Campaign" feature this morning, we posted this exchange topic to invite readers' examination of efforts to restrict Mark Peterson from supporting a competitive campaign for District 2 supervisor.
News service members of CDSI Research are available at email@example.com to answer your readers' further questions.

I agree with the comment regarding " status quo ". It is the " status quo " my wallet is afraid of. I applaud anyone who promotes competition in this political arena. Our county debt needs better trustees. All the proposed NEW taxes will only put a bandage on the hemorrhage of our revenue bleeding unless we choose people other than Tomi van de Brooke and Mary Piepho. Mr. Petersons political win has shown the residents of Contra Costa County are tired of the status quo. I would be seriously interested in anything Mr. Peterson has to contribute. Contra Costa needs change. 2012 is a great year to continue that change.

East County Watch,
The current Board of Supervisors with direction from Mary Piepho (who you love) have cut the county's debt in half (by over 1 Billion dollars) isn't good enough for you?
I know you like to blame Ms. Piepho from everything under the sun, even if the counties debt has be generated for years before Ms. Piepho...
What new taxes are you referring to? I am aware of no new "taxes" unless you are complaining about your local taxes which are being proposed from you east county elected leaders and not the Board of Supervisors.
Are you that detached from reality or just on your own personal mission to discredit those whom you disagree with.
Your ongoing crusade simply falls flat on those of us who pay attention to the issues. Don't forget, Peterson came from the DA's office and the city council. So much for your innuendo of change versus status quo. It's getting really sad to watch to be honest...

Lots of assumptions here. I do not know anyone who does not love Mary Piepho. She is a genuine diamond in the rough. Steve don't be so pestimistic about Mary Piepho. She can hold her own. look at all this attention she has generated for herself. It is all about Mary.
You know cousin, we could use some new leaders to help Mary out.
This is why I'm for Tomi. Those two can really take us places.

"Contra Costa Deputy Sheriffs Association has ratified its contract with Contra Costa County, according to union spokesman Jim Bickert. The Board of Supervisors will likely vote on the compact on Dec. 6. Deputies will take pay cuts and pay more for pensions, but will share the increased cost of health care premiums with the county."
Sound like new taxes, Mr. East County Watch? I think not.
It looks like they are fighting once again for you even though you continue to give them no credit and show no appreciation. I am sure you will be the first one in line to thank them right?
A well-deserved thanks goes out to our county Board of Supervisors. Keep up the good work!

Informed only tells half the story. The gibberish and propaganda cake serve is to make the high maintenance supervisors look good.
Everyone else in the private industry including senior citizens has taken hits on health care. This is a recession. Look up the definition. The housing market is down by half. That means costs for housing are lower. That means lower wages for public employees is logical. Instead the special interest has bought the taxpayers more debt through the Supervisors.
The Deputy Sheriff's make some the highest pay ( along with the Firemen ) in the entire bay area. They should take a concession like everyone else in this economy. The County should not pay an extra nickel in times like these.
I do not think the Supervisors did well at all in this deal. They should have done much better. Now the local 1 public employee union want some of the same gravy the Sups are serving up.
The end result is taxpayers will pay more. The unfunded debt climbs. Less emergency services will continue because of the poor negotiations by the Supervisors. The Supervisors and you, informed resident always blame someone else. The buck stops at the Board of Supervisors. It is their duty and responsibility to stop the out of control costs of overpaid labor. This includes them.
Change is needed now.

In the messages received at CDSI Member Information, email@example.com, today related to this exchange, the comments focus on the anger of Tomi's and Mary's proponents and the lack of content justifying their support. What your readers want are campaign supporters to detail support for Tomi and Mary based on their history together and their plans for future service to communities and neighborhoods.
This really is a great story and timely:
** Interview Mark Peterson for his plans
** Interview Karen Stepper and Abram Wilson for their plans
** Interview Alamo MAC members for what support for Tomi they expect from Alamo voters.
** Interview David Bowlby about the overall support for Mary and Tomi by Contra Costa Council and member corporations.
** Interview Informed Resident(s) and other Express proponents about their reasons for supporting unopposed campaigns by Mary and Tomi.
** Be sure to ask Mark DeSaulnier about efforts by Mark's ONE Campaign to keep Tomi and Mary unopposed.
See, a great story!

East County Watch,
One can only take from your response that you are challenged by many things. Reading comprehension being one of them.
You wrote; The Deputy Sheriff's make some the highest pay ( along with the Firemen ) in the entire bay area. They should take a concession like everyone else in this economy.
My post said; "Deputies will take pay cuts and pay more for pensions,"
…What part of that was lost on you? The facts or the truth?
You make this sooooo easy!
P.S. It is a matter of public record that Contra Costa Sheriff's Deputies are amongst the LOWEST paid in the Bay area, and Fire Fighters in East County (where East County Watch is from) are the lowest paid in the Bay area-by far. It doesn't take much effort to research that, then again you are probably too busy blogging misleading info.
You are a real piece of work.

Informed Steve leaves out parts of his previous comments in order to slander and confuse. Let me help everyone who missed the point.
...will share the increased cost of health care premiums with the county.
The County is us taxpayers !
This is exactly the part. We taxpayers Pay More.
I expected this type of response from Informed Steve.
Hide the negative effect on taxpayers and compliment the Supervisors for doing so.
Yes, we do need change.
I do not understand why Abram Wilson would associate himself with Piepho. He is listed with the Yolo County Supervisors as supporting high maintenance Mary.
The interview suggested sounds like a great idea. Hopefully the editor will consider a story.

East County Watch,
I normally don't like to do your homework for you but in this case you gave me a little incentive. Enjoy your crow.

In case you missed it again;
Deputies settle contract with Contra Costa County
• The agreement is the latest in the county's push to settle with its unions and to cut personnel costs as its revenues continue to decline. Negotiators earlier reached a hard-fought deal with midlevel managers and continue to talk with a five-union coalition of its largest public employee unions.
• The deputies' last contract expired in mid-2008, but with nothing on the table except concessions and no right to strike, union leaders had little motivation to settle.
• The county ratcheted up its leverage in October, threatening to force upon the deputies a one-year contract with even deeper pay and benefit reductions.
And the factual cherry on the cake;
The wage cut will cost a top-step deputy earning $81,504 a year about $2,300. Contra Costa deputies are the lowest-paid among their Bay Area peers.
In case you missed it Mr. East County Watch: Contra Costa deputies are the lowest-paid among their Bay Area peers. That is LOWEST PAID AMONG THEIR BAY AREA PEERS.
So much for your commentary on the matter. Maybe it is time for you to stop trying to (purposely) mislead readers?

Dear Editor,
With the lack of candidates to oppose the ONE Campaign of Mark DeSaulnier, it seems mortals must run. Without Pat Paulsen, it seems it is left to a few of us to fulfill the majority of voters' desires for intelligent representation. I shall gather contract staff of public law counsel and public budget analysis to fulfill my registration as a write-in candidate. There will be no other public campaign to challenge.
Among the neighborhoods' choices as candidates with thanks to Ralph N. Shirlet.

Informed Steve plays the stage of propaganda. Steve's selective twisting of truth shows he is part of the problem. He is probably a campaign promoter or relative for one of the incumbants. No one in their right mind thinks our current Supervisors are doing a good job except for the unions. Overpaid public employees are the direct result of the Supervisors mismanagement of funds for labor in ratio to income. The fallout comes to me the taxpayer. Taxpayers have no recourse other than to elect NEW Supervisors who can put the ratio of income back to a proportionate level. They need to do this in spite of special interest endorsements, political contributions, and favors. This would allow the County to hire more emergency service personnel. Instead the lack of proper attention has become financially critical. It has also placed residents at serious risk. We the people are left with understaffed services. Now these same leaders shuffle to create more revenue through taxes and fees instead of correcting their error. This is why we need NEW Supervisors. Even write in candidates would be a better choice.

ECW, do you have any facts to support that liberal dose of innuendo you lay down in here?
When presented with facts(ie. the 50% OPEB liability reduction) you simply go back to droning on in abstract. Election choices should be fact based, pragmatic and a little more intellectual than the "throw the bums out" approach you are promoting here.
The new contract for the DSA is a major cost saver for the county and the taxpayers. Just because you can't comprehend that doesn't change the fact. This savings will provide more headroom for future SO budgets and effectively allow more cops on the street.
As noted, Deputies in this county are paid less than those in other Bay Area counties. So explain what "ratio" it is you are looking for. Explain what fees or taxes are being proposed to support "overpaid" employees within the county as you claim.

Dear Editor,
Getting back on track, let us ask your readers to actually name their preferences for Districts 2 and 3 candidates and ask a question, in Stan Wharton fashion, "Is it important to voters to have a competitive campaign for districts supervisors' elections?"
As your readers suggest answers to that question, it would be informative to have such commentary explain how important is for voters to choose who runs for office versus candidates chosen by political consortiums, or is that important?
It will make a great streetwise topic, don't you think?

Watching me should actually read the facts that are presented on a weekly basis by Dan Borenstein of the CC Times. He is one of the very few that seeks out real truth. He presents the grim facts to the public in a way we can all understand. I think the man is a genius and an excellent journalist.
I would truly welcome his suggestions for the next election. My checkbook is ready to contribute to campaigns that he endorses.
Dan Borenstein's articles should be taken to heart by all.
He is genuine and realistic. Informed Resident Watching Steve B. Watching could learn from Dan Borenstein.
I think we should ask Mr. Borenstein who he feels is right for bringing Contra Costa out of this crisis the current Supervisors put us in.
We need change for 2012.
a resident of another community
on Nov 30, 2011 at 6:02 pm
ECW, the facts that I alluded to were presented in the very paper that Borenstein works for.
Was that not obvious?
If you truly live in East County, I have to wonder why you would take the advice of someone who does not live in your District for your representative. I doubt that Borenstein fully understands the issues that are most important to East County constituents.
Blindly following an outsider's endorsement doesn't strike me as something a properly informed voter does.
a resident of another community
on Dec 1, 2011 at 10:55 am
So are you saying that Borenstein reports false information against his own newspaper? I tend to doubt that. What he does is report what the Supervisors hold back when letting information out to the media.
I think Mr. Borenstein knows precisely the important issues.
The difference between him and you is transparency. Mr. Borenstein is an open book with no agenda. The gibberish I see here from you, steve, and informed (probably from the same Piepho/Van de Brooke
Puppet promoters) are distractions from the real result of the current Supervisors decisions. Huge costs to taxpayers with fewer services. This is precisely why change is needed now. Mr. Borenstein, with his wisdom and knowledge can help.
Finally, I am not blindly endorsing anyone. I have researched Mr. Borenstein for several years. I have spoken with him. I have debated with him. It is that trust that Mr. Borenstein has earned unlike the incumbent Supervisors. The current east county supervisors have created a huge distrust.

Hello All,
I installed two lang nucs into TBH's last weekend. (To my dismay, they were all on plastic foundation, which made the chop and crop method especially difficult). I had to wire the combs to honey bars (1.5 inches wide) because the comb on foundation was too thick.
How do I transition the comb with plastic foundation and 1.5 inch bars out of the brood nest?

Former school trustees should refrain from comment
Original post made by Anne Avis, Old Palo Alto, on Oct 11, 2006
To venture an opinion, especially a strongly worded scolding based on personal assumptions and incomplete information, is condescending at best and damaging at worst.
Our elected school board is responsible for giving our superintendent guidance so that she can effectively lead our district and, ultimately, holding her accountable for her performance. Leak or no leak, it appears that the superintendent has learned that enough principals and other managers are unhappy that active listening and adjustments are needed.
Let's encourage our school board to focus its leadership on rebuilding constructive communications and trust among its most valued employees.

Not only that, but Kroyman, Tuomy, Barton failed to recognize one important fact - they boo hood for Callan and Cook for being overworked by the Board -But it was by Staff and Superintendent recommendation in March/April that entire MI debacle was recommended for feasiblity study in the first place. They spent hundreds of hours this summer alone just working on the GRANT application. They had two employees travel to China for MI this summer, they've diverted top resources (Cohn Vargas, Garrison, Rollins, Masuda) to this project. And when the board asked them point blank in working session of 8/29 which of their many high priority projects are lower priority, and could be delayed or removed, they refused to bite.
Its real darn hard to feel sorry for them for being overworked - when they're all out their chasing their big R&D dream in hopes of feathering their international acclaim.
They've had two to three prime opportunities on this subject alone to take a leadership position, to focus this district back on top priority issues, and they've both failed to to do that.

Exactly. There is simply not sufficient PUBLIC oversight of the _results_ of actions and agendas taken by senior executives in this district.
We have seen the same kind of acquiescence on our (and other) city councils. It's a major public problem that causes lost opportunity, major inefficiency, lack of transparency, and finally, no accountability.
Barton, Toumy, and Kroymann were all very instrumental in choosing Callan; why wouldn't they defend her? Has any school board member, in recent memory, been harshly critical of Callan, or any other supervisor? It just doesn't happen.
It doesn't happen because as soon as one gets elected to the board, usually ignorant of the deep details of management, the senior executive team begins to blend in the everyday reality to new board members. Thus, board members beging to see the operation from one perspective only, that of executive management.
Most board members have FAR more contact with senior management than they do teachers and administrators. Thus, the relationships, and sympathies, often get biased in the direction of senior executives. We've seen this over and over again.
The same thing happens to new city council members.
What makes me curious is how certain board members come in, and not long after they come aboard seem to forget the things they ran on. One or two current PAUSD board members come to mind.
So far, the one moment of courage I've seen on the board has come from Gail Price - everyone else seems to be edging toward the safety of "arbitration", and hoping that will help save them from difficult decisions. Thus, the coziness of management/board relations can remain.
The latter statement may be jumping to conclusions. I would like to be shown to be wrong.
Time will tell.

I agree about Gail Price. When she stated for the record at last Tuesday's meeting that the administration issue was causing a lot of communication and concern within the community, that was the ONLY moment at the Tuesday Board meeting when this looming issue was even acknowledged. Maybe it's being addressed in closed session, but I was amazed that her comment was met with a long, awkward silence, and then the Board went on to other matters. I had great hope for the new Board, and hope they have the courage of their convictions when it comes to this issue. If the current administration can avoid accountability, I can't even begin to imagine the remifications for the many, many people who are not supporting her publicly at the moment.
a resident of South of Midtown
on Oct 12, 2006 at 4:03 pm
You're right about Gail Price. If you look at minutes from the board meetings when Barton and Kroymann were still serving, you'll see that she is frequently the one dissenting voice. For example, if you look at the board packet of 10/11/05, and scroll down to the minutes on page 16 of the document, you'll see that Price dissented in appointing Cook as Associate Superintendent.

Barton and the others are trying to make themselves not look bad retroactively. They knew that the PAUSD administration was dysfunctional but looked the other way not to rock the boat. That way they could remain power players in the Palo Alto civic sandbox.

"What makes me curious is how certain board members come in, and not long after they come aboard seem to forget the things they ran on. One or two current PAUSD board members come to mind."
It looks like you have no problem throwing innuendos around. Do you happen to have specifics too, or it is just to make you feel important?
a resident of South of Midtown
on Oct 13, 2006 at 1:11 am
Wolf, I'm no more important than you. Perhaps I'm just a bit more interested in this issue than you? :)
If you follow the trajectory of certain board members, and what they originally ran on, it's apparent that at least one has reversed direction (the two newer members have not had time to be examined in this way).
Wolf, what is your relationship to the district - parent, teacher, administrator, support staff, program director, senior executive?
I'm interested in your opinion about whether or not you think the recent uprising by administrators is a sign of poor leadership, and whether or not you think this district should spend hard earned tax dollars to hire mediators, arbitrators and consultants to fix a problem of poor leadership, and at the same time, end up keeping the leader.
I'm interested in your opinion.
a resident of Charleston Meadows
on Oct 13, 2006 at 9:29 am
Wolf et al. -- What is up with the attacks on people who take the time to express their concerns and opinions about this matter. If you have not had the misfortune to suffer under the current system, or the frustration of talking to Board members only to have them ignore your input, that's great for you. But it doesn't mean that other people who have kept a close eye on Palo alto educational issues and/or have been directly affected by the problems that are now coming to light (a) do not have a life or (b) think they are more important than everyone else. Believe me, if my kids could have gotten a solid education in a safe environment at their school and I had seen from Ms. Callan a modicum of cooperation or respect, I'd not be speaking up today. But the disrespectful tone of a few recent e-mails really bothers me. The entire citizenry of Palo Alto does not need to hear the details of individuals' encounters with Ms. Callan; the Board already has the facts. Mucking around debating the merits of people's perspectives in specific situations would only obscure the issue at hand: in the aggregate, do all of these situations that have arisen between Ms. Callan and parents, teachers and administrators merit a good, hard look and some hard decisions by the Board? I think they do.
a resident of Palo Verde
on Oct 13, 2006 at 2:41 pm
To RWE:
If I read you correctly, you absolve the two new board members. I also noticed earlier that you are rather happy with Gail Price. Which leaves only two board members: Mandy Lowell and Camille Townsend. I happen to think rather highly of both, so I would appreciate clarification about what position(s) they reversed directions compared to what they ran on. Otherwise it amounts to throwing mud via innuendos.
To the unenlightened one (aka "waiting for the light"):
Criticizing innuendos does not amount to "attacks on people who take the time to express their concerns and opinions." If one expresses one's opinion in a public forum, one should be ready to support it rather than expect us to trust his (or her) words. Especially since most of us here seem rather happy to hide behind aliases.
Back to RWE:
Despite your interest, my relationship to the district is immaterial, unless I will try to convince you to trust me based on such relationship rather than based on the words I write. Which some of the writers on this forum try to do anyway, quoting their supposed experience with the district's teaching and admin staff, or board members, or their own children, but which we cannot validate as we all are hiding behind aliases and initials. Including yourself.
Please judge my words by their inherent logic--or lack thereof--or by their referral to widely available facts, rather than by their pedigree.
a resident of South of Midtown
on Oct 13, 2006 at 6:48 pm
Wolf, You can't say I didn't make easy for you to guess. :)
Your deductive logic serves you well; you get an "A" - bully for you.
Indeed, you have identified - within your range of two - at least one board member who has been disappointing. That's where it's going to stand, because I'm not going to divert the main thrust of this thread away from the person who has been mostly responsible for this mess - Mary Francis Callan.
You may complain all you want, but I won't get drwan into that here; in another time, and place, perhaps, depending on what comes to the fore around the PAUSD issue.
We're especially watching Dana Tom, who campaigned on improving communications in this district. Dana, here's your chance to _show_ committment to campaign promises.
If the board member I'm referring to cares to prove her wisdom and courage, she and her compatriots will do the right thing and get this district back on track with a new leader.

Gail does not have any educational vision. Her *only* point is closing the achievement gap. She has no flexibility or creativity about curriculum other than filling that gap. She's strong there, but weak on everything else.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

My impression is that Gail stands for strategic planning, equitable use of public funds, and accountability for the Staff and the Board by asking the tough questions. Gail is the only one who bothers to mention the elephant on the table.
Gails hands are tied by a coalition of board members who appear to be operating on personal and/or private special interest agenda's and/or staff agendas, rather than looking out for the long term strategic best interests of the district.
Anyone who goes to any board meetings will hear most of the reasonable and 'to the point' questions coming from Gail, sometimes from Barb, sometimes from Mandy (but boy Mandy can sure go off on a tangent..) Camille is out there in la la land - usually talking about what 'she likes' or a 'friend of hers experience...', Camille is fond of saying 'we'll never please everyone' or 'I don't know much about this but' - meaning - so I go on my gut - meaning- we might as well please me and my friends because its the best I have to go on. Camille needs to start coming to the table with researched backup for what she's saying and voting - explaining why what she says and votes is in the best interest of the children and tax payers of Palo Alto. I wouldn't say Camille is disappointing per sey, because she's consistent and you know what to 'expect' (or not expect) from her.
However, on the other hand, of all board members, Dana is the most disappointing because he ~appears~ to care about logic, risk, research, sound decision making, and strategic priorities. And then his decisions are completely inconsistent with what he professes to care about, rarely backed up by the logic of his words. No sooner does he say something promising and filled with merit, that he votes the opposite way. Mandy is next in the dissapointment factor, because she smart, she talks the talk, and doesn't walk the walk. She ALWAYS speaks of concern about financial risk and accountability, and then doesn't stand firm. She favors talking in circles and asking for more staff analysis, rather than taking the strong position she claims to stand on.
Gail wants the public to know what's going on, and she wants an involved public. She'd probably be thrilled if the board room was packed. I get the impression several of the other board members are more about 'agendas' and just wishing they could do their thing without having to answer to the pesky public.
After having watched closely for almost a year now, this is a thankless and difficult job. It is completely true that they'll never make everyone happy. All the MORE reason these guys need to stand on sound strategy, on documented community priorities, and on process, and not be kicked around by special interest groups waving checks around.
Otherwise, it has the potential for being a very sick process...

Self-Styled with Elliot: Trans-Season Express: The Perfect Pieces for Late Summer/Early Fall
As the summer heat starts to fizzle, we offer up our best fashion picks to counter the first signs of fall.
Summer is winding down. There's a certain crispness to the night air that was not there a few weeks ago.
What does this mean for your wardrobe? It means now is a great time to grab a few pieces that will carry you into the late summer/early fall with some trans-seasonal swagger.
First up, get a lightweight jacket for casual nighttime looks. Something like this pullover from OG outdoorsmen Woolrich Woolen Mills would totally do the trick. The rich red color bangs without being garish (side note: avoid yellow coats unless you want to dress like the Gorton's fisherman), but what really seals the deal for me are the details around the pocket and the hood. Those leather toggles are dope. For the price, a summer-weight parka is a great, inexpensive investment, as you can wear it again come spring. Choose one from a company known for making rugged goods, such as Woolrich or Sierra Designs, and you should easily be able to get five to seven years of wear out of this.
Next, cop a simple cotton cardigan. Girls love these things. If you are a grown man, these versatile numbers should have replaced the hoodies/long-sleeve tees in your wardrobe. You can rock them with an oxford shirt for a more preppy/mod look or wear with a white tee to suggest "I am cooling out, on vacation." Though, as with all sweaters, never wear this with a graphic tee.

The flat was very nice, but it's dangerous. I bruised myself very badly when falling from the staircase, where there are no safety devices. I'm very glad not having broken anything.
Eda, you should really fix a rope beside the staircase, because the individual steps are also difficult to see during the night when the light is dummy. Eda, you should urgently fix a safety rope beside the staircase.
Otherwise it's really a very nice flat with a nice terrace.
Gabriella, we have had 4 wonderful days and nights in your beautiful apartment and this wonderful city! We slept like angels, enjoyed the diversified quarter where the apartment is located and of course the vibrating views from your beautiful roof top! We simply loved everything! Definetely worth staying with you!!!
Thank you very much for giving us advice and helping us with all our questions!
We will come back soon! :)
Gabriella's flat was perfect for us. It is very cleverly designed and well fitted – from forks and knives to a great collection of books, cds and dvds. A beautiful roof patio is definitely a bonus. Gabriella has put a lot of thoughts into making her guests feel comfortable in her apartments. Thank you so much, Gabriella! We struggled to find nearby a nice place to eat until we discovered Old Wild West restaurant – hugely recommended.
Very nice appartment. The terrace on the roof is superb. Wifi works fantastic. We had a great stay. The neighbourhood is a little bit noisy.
Very inspiring apartment. Lovely terrace. Immensely kind and helpful hosts.
Thank you very much!
Lovely app. Beautifull roofterrace.Nice and very clean.
Walking distance railroadstation.
San Lorenzo area, very noisy during nighttime, and beware of your belongings in buses.!!
We enjoyed the stay in the appartment very much. The appartment offers everything for a perfect vacation in Rome. The location in S.Lorenzo is nice. Bars, supermarkets and public transport are near by.
Gabriella is a perfect host. For our next Rome trip we definitely book again.
A very welcoming host, a stunning terrace and an apartment very close to the city center. Thanks Gabriella.
Gabriella's flat is amazing! Very quirky design with an amazing terrace on the rooftop. The flat was very clean and well-equipped. There's even a Bialetti coffee maker & supply of Illy coffee in the kitchen to make your Rome experience truly Italian:-) Having a cup of espresso on the rooftop terrace was a great beginning of the day. The area is interesting as well, a bit like a Shoreditch in London, very arty and vibrant and not at all pretentious. I'm sure I'll be coming back to Gabriella's flat next year!
The flat actually looks as great as the pictures and the roof terrace is just as amazing. I was surprised how close the flat was to most sight seeing highlights in Rome. If you have some time and don't need to rush to all the sights it is very much walkable. We just used public transport to get back in the evening.
We also enjoyed the area which is very lively at night and has some nice bars and delicious restaurants. Great if you feel like mingling with the locals and don't have the urge to pay higher prices in the more touristic parts of Rome all the time.
The flat has everything you need, including cooking equipment (not that you will use it much ;) ) and it was great to find some espresso and snacks in the kitchen. So as there is nothing to complain about I will keep it short and just say: Thank you very much! We'd love to come back!

Subject: st: file already exists error
This is a hard error to report since I get it haphazardly, and it's been
impossible for me to replicate.
Occasionally, I will get an error that says:
file C:\DOCUME~1\cohened\LOCALS~1\Temp\ST_0000001b.tmp already exists
This error can come after any command; today -symmetry-, yesterday
-reshape-. Sometimes the error will stop happening if I simply rerun the
command, sometimes I need to wait 5 minutes, and sometimes I need to restart
Stata entirely.
It may be important to know that I don't have admin priveleges on my
computer but since it seems to be writing to my personal space, I'm not sure
how that would be the problem.
Is there a way to check to check if my Stata installation is corrupt? Any
other suggestions?

Wright, Judith 1915–
An Australian poet of international stature, Wright is also a biographer, critic, and short story writer. Her traditional lyric poetry reflects her Australian heritage and is most noted for its excellent descriptive imagery. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 13-16, rev. ed.)
Val Vallis
Judith Wright's collection of talks given "because she was invited" has as its first concern poetry in general. [Because I Was Invited] also presents a further group of poets treated in the manner of her previous book Preoccupations in Australian Poetry. The great merit of that book lay in her rejection of the usual critical approach, with its emphasis on style and technique at the expense of theme and philosophy….
In the broadest sense the issue of conservation underlies the entire work. Blake's strictures on the evils of "single vision" are central to her argument….
For all the seriousness and the prophetic content of her message these talks are never sermons....
(The entire section is 360 words.)
Peter Porter
Judith Wright is a poet of resonant plainness. Much too plain in the past, for my taste—but her two recent books [Alive and Fourth Quarter] suggest that she is verging on new shores of amazement. This is partly horror at the efficiency with which her fellow-countrymen are raping their country and partly the intensity of growing old. Hymning a good wooden house and its familiar and loved objects, she asks, 'Who'd live in steel and plastic/corseting their lives/with things not decently mortal?' The decency of mortality is a theme she exploits with great richness….
English readers could gain insight into the ambiguous nature of Australia by reading Miss Wright's poems. All Australian...
(The entire section is 196 words.)
Margaret Gibson
Selected from work over a span of 30 years, Wright's poems [in The Double Tree: Selected Poems, 1942–1976] bear witness to her commitment to "poetry's ancient vow to celebrate lovelong/life's wholeness." She is Australian, and her bond to her native land and its once pastoral wildness is evident, expressed in lyric poems of skilled prosody. In her later work, the vow to celebrate radiance is harder to keep. As she sees the destruction to wildlife, water, and land, she is more convinced of human destructiveness, aware of the murderous heart as well as the passionate heart. She looks at opposites, seeking unity and form as "the compass heart swings seeking home/between the lands of life and death." Throughout...

There are three recognised mood disorders in the period after birth.
Baby blues
At one end of the spectrum is 'baby blues', affecting about 80% of new mothers and occurring between the third and tenth day after birth. Symptoms include tearfulness, anxiety, mood fluctuations and irritability. The 'blues' are transient and will pass with understanding and support.
Postnatal psychosis
At the other end of the spectrum is puerperal or postnatal psychosis. This affects 1 in 500 mothers, usually in the first 3-4 weeks after delivery.
Postnatal psychosis is a serious condition. The mother herself might be unaware she is ill, because her grasp on reality is affected. Symptoms include severe mood disturbance (either marked elation or depression or fluctuations from one to the other), disturbance in thought processes, bizarre thoughts, insomnia and inappropriate responses to the baby. There is risk to the life of both mother and baby if the problem is not recognised and treated.
Postnatal psychosis requires a hospital stay. With appropriate treatment, women suffering from postnatal psychosis fully recover.
Postnatal depression, or PND
Between the 'blues' and psychosis lies postnatal depression (PND). Most women find adjusting to life with a new baby very difficult, but more than 15% of women and 10% of men develop PND.
Many women don't know that PND can occur unexpectedly after delivery and typically blame themselves, their partners or their baby for the way they feel. Some try hard to 'snap out of it' without understanding that women with PND have little control over the way they're feeling.
PND is caused by a combination of biological, psychological (spiritual) and social (cultural) factors. It results in a variety of symptoms and affects women's lives in all these areas.
A different combination of these factors is responsible for each woman's unique experience of PND. Strategies for managing postnatal depression towards recovery must address biological, psychological and social aspects of the woman's life. This usually requires a combination of interventions.
PND exists within families and communities, not with the woman alone. Assessment and intervention need to consider the significant other people in her family.
Symptoms can begin anywhere from 24 hours to several months after delivery. Women are more likely to seek help early when onset is abrupt and symptoms are severe. Sometimes symptoms are harder to separate from normal changes after having a baby. In this case, women can delay seeking help and PND can linger into the second year.
The following descriptions of PND symptoms come from women who have spoken to PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia) or attended PND groups. They can also apply to a man's experience of PND.
Society makes it difficult for a woman to acknowledge that she might be experiencing PND. She is constantly confronted by messages about joy and bliss. These messages don't often mention the challenges that come with motherhood. The media tends to reinforce the unrealistic expectations of motherhood. For example, it promotes celebrities who appear to be coping very well.
Added to this is the stigma of depression. PND is often being portrayed in a negative and sensational way. Women will put on a brave face and go to extraordinary lengths to hide how they feel. A woman who isn't coping can feel very alone and can find it hard to come to terms with her feelings.
PND doesn't usually resolve itself fully without treatment. If PND isn't identified or treated, the toll it takes on the woman, her baby, partner, family and extended relationships increases. A woman might also experience future episodes of depression and mental illness.
Many women with PND are very close to their babies despite how they feel. Others might struggle to connect with their babies if their PND is ignored. This can have an impact on the wellbeing of the baby.
All women with PND need emotional support from family and friends. Some women find psychological treatments helpful, especially if they have experienced traumatic events in their childhood or more recently.
Antidepressant medication is a successful treatment for many women with PND. It's worth remembering that women can't 'snap out of' depression, any more than they could 'snap out of' diabetes, and there are many misconceptions about antidepressants, how they work and what harm they might cause.
Rather than 'changing your personality', this type of medication aims to correct chemical imbalances in the brain thought to be responsible for symptoms of depression and anxiety. Antidepressants are not addictive. Some can be safely taken while breastfeeding and pregnant.
You can seek objective help and advice from your doctor, a pharmacist or a drug information line. Our parenting helplines article has drug information contact numbers.
Living with a woman suffering PND is difficult. Partners too need a lot of support. They often feel confused, lost and helpless. It's important that partners be included by the health professionals treating women with PND. Partners are much more supportive if they understand what the problem is and what they can do to help.
If a woman doesn't feel the way she expected to feel after having a baby, it's very important that she talk to her GP or child and family health nurse.
It could simply be that she's having trouble adjusting to the changes in lifestyle that occur when a baby is born and to the demands that a new baby makes. But if she's suffering PND, it's important that she receive appropriate help as soon as possible.

Ok, Yes I bought these tires in 2013 I now have to replace. I put maybe 30,000 miles on them, with that being said the tread life is fine but with cracking and seams to be seperating. Also the belts inside 2 of my tires are broken with them being uneven as I go down the road. It feels like a covered waganon going down the trail in 1855 to the west. The natives are attacking and I'm really trying to get away with my family and scalp. I really should not be crossing the open plains in this covered wagan through Indian territory but I have to get home from work. My daughter and wife puts a gallon milk in the wagan with me so when I get to where I am going its is butter. The wagon makes great butter going down the trail I think if I replace my wheels the butter will bot be so smoth, but I really have too get home with the wheels on the wagon on it now I am not so confident that I will make it through Indian territory. Pray for me and God Speed. I will never buy another set of Toyos tires again.

A ZR-350 in GTA San Andreas. It is the only vehicle in the game with hidden headlights, seen here popped-up.
|GTA San Andreas
|Vehicle type
|Civilian car
|Body style
|2-door sports car
|2 (driver and passenger)
The ZR-350 is a two-door sports car featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The ZR-350 is based on the 1993–1995 Mazda RX-7 but it is scaled much longer. It is the only car in GTA San Andreas with hidden headlights, and also one of a handful of cars to prominently feature its model name, sporting a "ZR-350" marque on its rear light cluster. There are two versions of this car; one with a rear-spoiler and one without.
The "ZR-350" name could be a reference to the 1990–1995 Corvette ZR-1 which had a 350 cu in engine (It should also be noted that the elongated front can be mistaken for a C5 Corvette)
The ZR-350 has a good top speed and acceleration, however, it has poor handling when driving at high speeds. It is also damage-resistant, and slow collisions do not affect the vehicle that much.
The ZR-350 can be modified at a TransFender, featuring a moderate range of modification options.
Italicized pricing denotes prices at the Las Venturas TransFender, which charges 20% more except Colors.
- A model car of the ZR-350 can be found in Zero RC shop in Garcia, San Fierro.
- The default radio station in the ZR-350 is SF-UR.
- It is the only car to feature hidden headlights in GTA San Andreas.
Prominent appearances
- The ZR-350 is the vehicle that Carl Johnson uses for the mission Farewell, My Love.... This version has off-road tires, fitting to the terrain of the race track.
- Also, there is a special blue ZR-350 that appears in 555 We Tip, accessorized with a unique blue interior.
- Spawns often while driving a Washington/Emperor through King's/Financial, San Fierro.
- Spawns while driving a Euros in Easter Bay Airport, San Fierro (Thursday).
- Commonly spawns in Las Venturas and San Fierro.
- Parked in the Las Venturas Airport parking lot.
- Found at the parking lot of The Clown's Pocket along The Strip, Las Venturas (only when wanted for export).
- Available for import at Easter Basin, San Fierro every Friday after completing export lists (Costs $36,000).
- Commonly spawns near commercial districts in all three cities.
- Usually found parked at the LVA Freight Depot next to the entrance facing the airport.

Murder trial gets late start
A Johnson City murder trail got off to a late start today because the state's key witness had to testify in another hearing in Knoxville this morning.
Dale Larkin is on trial for First Degree Murder in the 2003 death of his wife Terri Larkin. The trial did not get underway until after 1:00 p.m. today while the court waited on the witness.
A forensic pathologist for Knoxville, who performed a second autopsy on Terri Larkin's body, has been on the stand most of the day. She discovered several broken bones that were not found in the original autopsy several years earlier.
Larkin also faces two counts of insurance fraud.
The trial is expected to last all of this week and could stretch into next week.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk.

ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery.

Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

You have completely lost me; and I've taught pistol shooting, now, for many years! I have no idea how this conclusion can be drawn from any of the OP's initial remarks? This said: Every woman I know who owns or carries an LC9, hates the trigger and has trouble shooting the gun - No exceptions!You are probably sticking your finger too far on to the trigger. Try no more than your first joint of your finger tip. You can unload the gun and practice dry firing. you don't need to go to the range to do this just make sure the gun is empty and practice away.
(And one of these women is a local gun dealer's wife whom I'm positive is soon going to be carrying something else!)

Q1: I am running Windows 98SE. In "My Documents" I have about 80 documents that are copies of copies. When I try to send them to the Recycle Bin, another one takes its place. How do I permanently delete these?
A: First check your method when sending files to the Recycle Bin. It's easy to accidentally create copies if you use the Ctrl key to select multiple files and move the mouse pointer while still pressing the left mouse button. To check, try selecting an individual file, then pressing the Delete key or right-clicking the mouse and selecting Delete. If the duplicating behaviour continues, it may be a sign of infection, so update your antivirus program and scan your system. There are other avenues to investigate if stubborn files remain. The Elder Geek has a tutorial on getting rid of files that are difficult to delete and Microsoft's support site describes the process for taking ownership of files when access has been denied.
Q2: Recently I changed to Windows XP Home. When using Works I used to be able to insert an address into a document simply by clicking on Tools, selecting an address and hitting OK. Now there is no Address book in Tools or in Insert, and I have to look up and type the addresses myself. Can go back to the automatic method?
A: Microsoft Works Suite actually uses Word as the word processor and unfortunately Word can't recognise the format used by the address book. There's a workaround described in a Microsoft knowledge base article, which suggests going back to the Works word processor. If you can't find the program, try searching for WksWP.exe on your computer.
Q3: I am getting frustrated with the constant restarting of Windows Defragmenter. I get the message "Drive contents have changed - restarting" up to 10 times before defrag is complete. A similar situation exists when I try to use ScanDisk. I run Windows ME with a firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware and also have cable internet. I tried switching off my cable modem and exiting from all these programs before defrag but to no avail.
A: It could be something as simple as a screensaver or just a component of your antivirus or other security arsenal, working in the background and getting in the way. Another common problem is corrupt files, so it can help to empty the Recycle Bin, temporary internet files, history and Recent Documents. If no luck, perhaps the utility GEODisk2 may help. For Windows 98 and Me, it can close unnecessary files and shut background tasks before it runs the Defrag and Scandisk programs for you. Another useful resource is Ron Badour's helpful website, which troubleshoots common Defrag and ScanDisk problems.
Q4: With Internet Explorer, if I click on the down arrow in the address line there is a dropdown of past search sites. Can these be deleted? I have tried highlighting and right-clicking but nothing comes up.
A: Go to the Start menu, Settings, then Taskbar and Start menu. Under the Start menu tab, click Customise and then click Clear. This will clear the contents of the address bar. This button will also clear the Recent Documents list.
