Lecture title: Will the Real Slaves Please Step Forward: Debt Bondage in Mainland Southeast Asia
Anyone among the nobility who, having an evil heart, seizes or apprehends…the slaves of another, and abuses them, without their leave, will be considered an oppressor of the people and condemned. (Kram Achnha Luong)
The king of Cambodia promulgated this law in the middle of the nineteenth century in order to protect those of his subjects who were enslaved. Strict guidelines detailed the punishment and compensatory arrangements should laws such as this be transgressed. Similar laws existed in Siam and Burma. Yet although the legal protections that these permitted were abolished by colonial administrations, the practices remained. This occurred because Europeans were unaware of the many different categories of people who were obligated to perform labor for others. Not all 'slaves' were condemned to a life of servitude; often, individuals or their families entered into contracts in which their labor was pledged for a set period. Daughters' labor could most easily be given up by families seeking to borrow a lump sum from a wealthy patron. These girls would remain in the household of the lender and their labor would comprise the interest on the loan. When laws protecting such girls were removed, there was no longer any effective barrier preventing their temporary masters and mistresses from abusing them. Can this initial failure of European legislators in the colonial period to understand debt bondage as distinct from slavery explain the endurance of human trafficking and the proliferation of increasingly younger children in the sex sector in Cambodia and Burma today?

Lecture title: Shadows of Burma: The Politics of Identity on the Thai-Burmese Border
Military oppression, insurgency, and violence have dominated global discourse surrounding Burma for forty years. As the Union Solidarity and Development Party calls for opposition parties to enter the new and "open" political fold, opposition members inside and outside the nation must balance new opportunities with past identities. Initiated by large-scale protests during the 8-8-88 uprising, thousands of opposition members organized under the banner of "the student movement" fled central areas of Burma and resettled along the Thai border. For two decades these groups have worked alongside minority and international organizations to address local, national, and regional political agendas. Operating within a broader coalition composed of groups with disparate and often conflicting goals, these organizations have adopted a common identity representative of the greater community in exile. Using members of the Burmese Student Movement as a lens into the dynamics of transnational political contention, this lecture focuses on issues of social memory, state resistance, and liminality as they relate to identity-building among a dislocated multi-ethnic political coalition in the face of a transforming political environment.

Lecture title: Talking Back to Power: Testimony from Thai and Lao Literature and Art
The trickster tales of Sri Thanonchai, or Xiang Miang, as he is called in Laos, are part of a widely shared cultural package—about a single and singular hero with different names and personal traits as he moves across the Mekong. This prototypical hero, in fact, crosses all national boundaries in Southeast Asia. Here the focus is on the Thai and Lao versions of his tales as they are realized in oral and written literature, as well as art. The presentation will begin with a video clip of a Lao story teller narrating how the king wagers a bet with Sri Thanonchai only to be outwitted by the trickster. This one of many usually humorous episodes is also illustrated in a set of elegant temple murals commissioned by Rama IV (King Mongkut) as a gift to his favorite wife, who unfortunately did not live to see them. Another representation in art is a comic book produced in the early 1900s showing another side of Sithanonchai—as a young, defiant lad chafing under the onerous dictum to bend to authority: his parents, an abbot, a patron, and finally his king. Those who take pleasure in following political acts, whether in Thailand (the Reds v. the Yellows) or in the U.S. (Mitt vs. Newt) will witness the universality of verbal jousting and playing dirty—and sometimes violent—tricks within Southeast Asian cultural constraints.

Lecture title: Indonesian Oligarchs in Comparative Perspective
In addition to the transition from authoritarian rule to electoral democracy, Indonesia also experienced a transition in 1998 from a sultanistic to a ruling oligarchy. This means that the strategies of wealth defense for oligarchs shifted from a personalistic approach based on proximity to Suharto to a fusion of oligarchic power and democratic procedures and institutions. This talk will explore the implications of this transformation in comparative perspective. A central question concerns the intersection of law, oligarchy, and democracy in contemporary Indonesia.

Lecture title: The Future of Southeast Asian Studies: Implications for U.S.-Southeast Asian Relations
As NIU's Center for Southeast Asian Studies prepares to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its founding, John Brandon, an alumnus of the Center and Director of The Asia Foundation's International Relations Programs, will speak about the future of Southeast Asian Studies and the importance of area studies in strengthening U.S. – Southeast Asia relations. For much of the past two decades, many Southeast Asians have expressed frustration that U.S. policy has treated their region with benign neglect or indifference, and that U.S. attention has been episodic rather than consistent. The Obama administration has announced it will make a "strategic pivot" in its foreign policy, where over the next decade the dynamic will be to downsize the U.S. presence in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and to invest and pay greater attention to the Asia-Pacific, particularly Southeast Asia. This "strategic pivot" will take at least a decade to implement. What kind of increased attention should the U.S. give to Southeast Asia?

Lecture title: Human Rights as a Form of Violence: The Burmese Case
This presentation questions the popular notion that the demand for human rights is a challenge to violence and oppression. It explores efforts to reform and develop media in Burma in order to bring home how human rights discourse and the consequences of militarization are intricately connected. Militarization occurs most obviously as a process that threatens human rights, but also is a means to maintain the global prioritization of some rights over others. Militarization and the global focus on individual civil and political rights are mutually reinforcing. This focus diverts attention from the communication needs of the most marginalized, obstructing efforts to promote ethnic reconciliation.

Lecture title: Mekong-Serengeti: Hydropower Endgame for the Great Migratory Fisheries?
The spectacle of the Serengeti migrations in Tanzania —grazing herbivores, and the predators which follow along— is vastly eclipsed in terms of biomass, biodiversity, and perhaps even in the beauty of the animals, by the fish migrations of the Mekong and its tributaries flowing through China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and finally entering the sea below the Nine Dragons delta in Viet Nam. One major tributary, the Tonle Sap in Cambodia, actually reverses direction during the monsoon to refill the Great Lake, the ecosystem's most productive component. Sixty million people get much of their protein from Mekong fish, and the delta's continued agricultural productivity is contingent on the present silt deposits and salt balance. But unlike the Serengeti, the fish migrations are essentially invisible, even though the Mekong is seldom more than twenty feet deep. There are no dams yet athwart the Mekong mainstream below China, where six hydropower projects are online or under construction in the Yunnan headwaters, and which will soon impound two of the world's largest artificial reservoirs. Thailand has already started construction of a 1,500-megawatt mainstream dam project incompatible with fish migrations —for which the environmental studies are evasive and incomplete— entirely inside the Lao PDR, over the strenuous objections of Viet Nam and Cambodia. Some 95 percent of that power would be wheeled to Thai rate-payers, with a gross revenue stream of about $1.5 million USD per day. Another eight or ten such projects are already under consideration. We may be about to kiss the fish goodbye.

Lecture title: The Twin Challenges of Infrastructure and Institutions: Improving Wastewater Sanitation in Indonesia
Indonesia drastically lags behind other countries in Southeast Asia and countries at similar levels of development when it comes to supplying modern wastewater sanitation to its citizens. Economic losses due to poor sanitation and hygiene are equivalent to a staggering 2.3 percent of GDP. Yet there has been relatively little local-level political action on wastewater, despite pressure from the national government. In this paper, I use case studies from three cities in Indonesia to better understand why wastewater services are underprovided in urban Indonesia and to assess the likelihood of new infrastructure and institutions in this sector. Grouping explanations into demand-side, government cost-benefit and political-economy explanations, the strongest results are found on the demand-side: local governments are not inclined to take action largely because the citizenry does not demand action from the governments. I discuss possible solutions to this problem and highlight other areas of service provision where similar dynamics might exist.

Lecture title: Reinventing Indonesian Heritage Arts in Economically Uncertain Times: The View from Sulawesi
How do Indonesian heritage arts survive and find markets in economically uncertain times when tourist markets and local buyers vanish? This talk explores the strategies embraced by heritage entrepreneurs in the Sulawesi highlands to amplify their wares beyond the local to the global marketplace. The talk also silhouettes the sometimes paradoxical ways in which identity narratives play into these processes, as well as the ironic role of tropes of "globalization" and exotic "lost worlds" in Indonesia.
Friday, April 27
Christina Fink, Professor, International Affairs, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University
Lecture title: Civil Society and Human Security in Burma/Myanmar
Ongoing reforms in Burma/Myanmar are likely to lead to a normalization of the country's status, but will the well-being of its citizens be ensured? Addressing both "freedom from fear" and "freedom from want" requires a supportive legal environment, pro-poor policy-making, and demilitarization. To achieve this, civil society organizations will have to both strategically challenge and advise government bodies while also rooting themselves more deeply and extending their reach. In this talk, Prof. Fink will discuss some of the challenges that lie ahead for citizens and civil society organizations and some of the ways these might be addressed.

On September 8, 2009, Sonia Sotomayor was formally sworn in as the 111th U.S. Supreme Court Justice. She is the first Hispanic American to serve on the nation's highest court.
It was a day for the history books. In a formal welcoming ceremony, Sonia Sotomayor, 55, donned her black robe and took her seat on the Supreme Court for the first time. Sotomayor is the first Hispanic American and only the third woman to serve on the nation's top court in its 220-year history.
President Barack Obama and members of Sotomayor's family watched as Sotomayor took the judicial oath in a packed courtroom. "We wish you a long and happy career in our common calling," said Chief Justice John Roberts.
On the Job Sotomayor heard her first argument, in a campaign-finance case, the day after taking the oath. For more than a century, the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations cannot spend money on election campaigns. Now, the court may overturn its past decisions. How will Sotomayor rule? During Senate confirmation hearings in July, she promised to tread "very, very cautiously" when examining previous decisions.
From the Bronx to the Bench
President Obama nominated Sotomayor to be a Justice on the Supreme Court last May. She replaces David Souter, who retired. Obama said he was drawn by Sotomayor's "extraordinary" life.
Sotomayor's parents moved from Puerto Rico to New York City in the 1950s. She grew up in a working-class neighborhood in the Bronx. After Sotomayor's father died, her mother had to raise two children on her own.
"[My mother] taught us that the key to success in America is a good education," Sotomayor said after her nomination.
She and her brother took their studies seriously. Today, Sotomayor's brother is a doctor. Sotomayor has worked as a lawyer and a judge. She says she never dreamed she would one day sit on the Supreme Court.
"It is our nation's faith in a more perfect union that allows a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx to stand here now," she said in August. "I am struck again by the wonder of my own life and the life we in America are so privileged to lead."
A Judge's Journey
When Sonia Sotomayor was a young girl, the TV lawyer Perry Mason inspired her to study law. Here is a look at Sotomayor's life and career.
1954: On June 24, Sotomayor is born in New York City. Her parents had moved to New York from Puerto Rico.
1963: When Sotomayor is 9, her father dies, leaving her mother to raise two children.
1968: Sotomayor graduates from eighth grade at Blessed Sacrament School, in New York City. She is the top student and has a near-perfect attendance record. Four years later, she graduates from Cardinal Spellman High School. She is at the top of her class again.
1976: Sotomayor graduates from Princeton University, in New Jersey, with highest honors.
1979: She receives a degree from Yale Law School, in Connecticut. She goes to work in the district attorney's office in New York City. As a prosecutor, or a lawyer who represents the government in court, Sotomayor tries criminal cases.
1984: Sotomayor joins a private law firm in New York City.
1992: Sotomayor is appointed a federal district judge.
1998: Sotomayor joins the U.S. Court of Appeals. This court reviews cases from lower courts.
2009: On May 26, President Barack Obama nominates Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Three months later, she is sworn in as the 111th Justice of the nation's highest court.

Zine Fair
Zines (pronounced 'zeen') are the lesser known little sibling of magazines. They're often handmade and roughly stapled, photocopied on tired old copy machines and occasionally even sewn together. They're raw and from the heart, and more often than not teach you something new about the beautiful awkward world that we live in.

The television lies
On my last journey through Europe I walked many gritty streets in search of street art. This piece had been painted on a construction site in Italy. I loved the Pinocchio / television references.. I'm not sure if that's what the artist meant, but what I read from it is 'the television lies!'. Digital detox anyone?

Sometimes the best journeys...
Sometimes the best journeys are the ones you take on your own.
After working with street children in Kisumu, Kenya, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel through east Africa while making my way home. I had joined a tour group travelling from Nairobi to Johannesburg, which to my disgust, seemed more interested in drinking and complaining about the quality of accommodation than having any experience of the sights and sounds of Africa.

text: I recently bought this unit from a member here (Alex: Sierraowner5.3, who by the way is a great seller if you need anything he has!) for the 04-07 trucks (for obvious reasons ). As noted in my signature, my truck has an upgraded cam shaft as well as a few other engine mods, and when I had them done at a local tuning shop, I assumed that they had also installed a custom tune because they were using a computer and a dyno to track the power. However, I called the shop and they told me they were only doing that to make some adjustments, and said that a tuner would work great! The unit itself is extremely easy to use with simple yes and no questions. I noticed very little in the way of extra power at first since I didn't adjust shift points or anything, but once I did that it really seemed to have a bit more gimme. Not sure on actual numbers (yet, though I am hoping to use said shops dyno again to compare with originals that they still have logged, supposedly), but I did notice an increase in my MPG (1.36 average in 3 tanks to be exact) which wasn't mind blowing, but still acceptable. The main reason I bought the unit was to calibrate my speedometer for larger tires since my dealer said they would not do it, and I couldn't find anybody else willing to do it without leaving the place with all my limbs. With that said, that is my only complaint. I calibrated the speedo to the exact diameter of my tires, and it actually made my speedo worse! I had it set for 32.75 tires, and had to set it for 31.75 for it to be correct according to both my GPS and a local speed trap. I would highly recommend the unit. I could give more info about it if needed, but you can get all you need from here. Thanks again to Alex for selling the unit to me! Well worth the money!

There has been much discussion around the return of the V8 Supercars to their spiritual home at Pukekohe Raceway. Some have said it should have gone somewhere else, some have said it should have never left and some have even queried the grading of the circuit.
What Driven can tell you is that the project came in on time and on budget. Now here's little tidbit for you - there were two project costs. One was for the $6.6 million which got you X and another for $8 million that got you X plus Y on top.
Now here's the thing: all the stakeholders involved went for the most cost-effective, so the $6.6 million avenue got the nod. But we got the $8 million model with all the extra bells and whistles.
The motorsport fans of New Zealand voted with their feet and turned up in bumper crowds for the Kiwi round of the series.
And rather than telling all our readers what Driven thought of the three days of racing, we asked these interested parties:
Judith Collins, Minister of Justice and local MP
"It's been a fantastic day and I love fast cars - on the track and not on public roads. I can understand well now why people love this.
"Watching the skill-sets of these guys out there is unbelievable. They're professionals, they're world class and it's incredibly dangerous but my goodness it's fun to watch.
"This is a great city and good place for this to happen."
Greg Murphy, V8 Supercars driver, former 'King of Pukekohe'
"The event has done what it was supposed to do. It's a massive event and everyone is raving about the circuit and it's great for the future.
"As far as successes go, it doesn't get much bigger than this. There's been a lot of political rubbish but you can't take anything away from the day.
"It's not like we're going to get Formula One, IndyCar or World Touring Cars here. We're doing what we planned to and it's a great circuit for these cars. It is the single biggest event New Zealand has, just look at the number of people here."
David Malone, CEO V8 Supercars
"I think it has been a fantastic three days. Seeing the crowds here over the weekend all enjoying themselves, the big numbers and great racing. I don't think we could have wanted for any more for the first event back here.
"This circuit is the spiritual home of motorsport in New Zealand and I was delighted with the way the fans have engaged with the event and seeing so many families here.
"I think we have proven over the weekend that this is going to be a major event in New Zealand going forward over the next few years."
Paul Henry, broadcaster
"I'm absolutely so pleased to see the V8s back at Pukekohe; this is where they should be because V8s are such a great event.
"I've been to Formula One and I just can't get into it. This is just fantastic, but where have the pitstops gone?
"Forgetting that, this is the place. The heritage here is amazing, this is international racing here at Pukekohe - just look at the crowd here. It's a great venue and something that a global city like Auckland needs to have."
Bob McMurray, sports commentator, former McLaren F1 team member
"I'm not speaking on behalf of any official person or organisation, or have any axe to grind but I think it's fantastic.
"The old lady was a bit tired and about to be pensioned off. I don't give a damn what category it is because the whole place has been reinvigorated and is fantastic.
"The circuit is challenging for the drivers and the teams. I know a lot of the team owners, engineers, drivers and managers and everyone likes the place.
"It has personality and atmosphere that a lot of other tracks don't have.
"It just feels right that the V8 Supercars are back here."
Jennah Wootten, Ateed general manager major events
"We've been working on this since 2012 and the last three days have been exceptional and we couldn't be more pleased with the turnout at Pukekohe and the motor action on display.
"The V8 Supercars event aligns very well with our overall events strategy and has been fantastic in positioning Auckland internationally and bringing new money into the city.
"The heritage at Pukekohe Park is amazing and I think being here and looking at people's faces as they've moved around really enforces that we knew V8 Supercars needed to return here."
A motorsport fan
"Bloody fantastic. I'll keep coming back every year it's going to be here. Much better than those bloody street circuits.
"They've done a great job of putting this on and the place looks brilliant. Love the new corners on the back straight."

Story highlights
- Organizers and sponsors have completed bulk hotel reservations for World Cup 2014 in Brazil
- Alternative accommodation options are on the rise in Rio
- An Ipanema penthouse will rent for $150,000 for one month during World Cup period
Travelers planning to attend the 2014 World Cup in Brazil better get cracking on their accommodation bookings.
Organizers from FIFA and tournament sponsors have already started making mass hotel bookings for next summer, and private home owners in Brazil have responded, renting out apartments for the World Cup period, according to the Rio Times.
Although projected numbers vary, approximately 600,000 foreign visitors and 3 million domestic tourists are expected to travel to or within Brazil for the World Cup.
A large percentage of those travelers are expected to be looking for alternative accommodations, such as private homes, bed and breakfasts and hostels.
According to the Brazilian daily, some four-room penthouses in Ipanema are asking $150,000 for one month's rental.
A studio apartment in Copacabana is being rented out at $7,000 for four weeks, while a villa is using the deposit from a booking already made for next summer to renovate the house for more such rentals.
Hotel infrastructure for Brazil's most anticipated mega-event has been a concern, but the local hotel industry says it's confident it will be ready to face the onslaught of tourists.
The city also plans to berth six cruise ships as tourist accommodation.
Marcelo Rocha e Silva Zorovich, a visiting researcher at the University of Miami, told the Los Angeles Times last month that providing enough hotel rooms for the event was a big concern.
"We'll make it to the Cup but the infrastructure won't be ready," Zorovich said.
According to the Times, Rio is planning to construct around 22,000 new rooms, but experts are skeptical that number will be reached in time.

LUSH Loves Lemons
2,540 kg/5,600 lbs of fresh lemons get zested, juiced and squeezed into our cosmetics each year. We love using lemons in our cosmetics because they're cleansing, antibacterial, full of vitamin C, vitamins B1 and B2, and are a powerful antioxidant. Fresh organic lemon juice is an ideal ingredient for shampoos and conditioners to tone the scalp and flatten the hair cuticles, giving lustrous shine. We use lemon in Curly Wurly and Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoos, as well as Coolaulin hair conditioner. Marilyn hair treatment, I Love Juicy shampoo and Veganese conditioner contain lemon oil for its cleansing properties and its ability to lighten blonde hair. Lemon infusion also works in our Big Shampoo to cleanse and degrease the hair.
Lemons also work wonders cleansing and brightening the skin. Our Enzymion facial moisturizer contains both lemon infusion and fresh lemon juice to help clear oily skin, and our Gorgeous moisturizer contains lemon juice, along with other ingredients to stimulate and brighten congested skin.
We use lemon oil with other citrus essential oils in some of our bath and shower products because not only are lemons cleansing and full of vitamins, but also because the fragrance of lemon is so uplifting. Big Blue and Dragon's Egg Bath Bombs, Amandopondo and Rose Jam Bubble Bars, You've Been Mangoed and Floating Island Luxury Bath Melts all contain lemon. As the bombs and melts sink into the hot water of the bath, the essential oils are released and the fragrance is very uplifting. Our Sexy Peel soap inspired by breakfast marmalade contains fresh lemon juice and lemon oil for their fresh scent and cleansing abilities, and organic lemon peel is sprinkled in its top layers for interesting texture, visual impact and gentle exfoliation.
When life hands you lemons – make fresh products!

Dear Faithful Readers of Kylie's Blog,
Kylie was right in saying that yesterday was almost too much to handle for one blog because after reading her entry I realized a few interesting parts had been omitted. So if you would allow me to attempt to not only fill in the blanks but also attempt to write on par with my very talented and humorous travel partner.
Gatlinburg had many traps and vices along the streets including stores to entice every kind of person imaginable. Surprisingly enough even a sophisticated Canadian like Kylie (being the hillbilly I am I was attracted to nearly every store). Walking along to dinner we found a giant sock store that she found some very funny crab socks she got in honor of Crabby Cakes. Later we found a shop advertising that they had a scrapbooking section downstairs which had a t-shirts that said "Laugh, Love, Scrapbook" and "Live well, Laugh much, Scrapbook often". She also got alot of cool scrapbook pages that said Gatlinburg or just looked nice and naturey.
Other than that I think its important to note how at the Ripley's Odditorium they had this mirror you could practice rolling your tongue which you find out later is a two-sided mirror where you can watch people making idiots of themselves. As for the motion rides, while I do love them as well as 3D rides I did not force Kylie on the ride, it was her sweetness that drove her to agree to go with me becuase she knows I love them. You know since I take her to see so many chick flicks, which make me respond similarly to how she did during the ride.
Finally I wanted to add that while at the funny Italian restaurant with the Russian waitress, Kylie got yet another call from Liberty about a third department that wants to interview her. I was very proud that so many people are impressed with her resume there that three separate departments are looking to hire her. Good Job darling!
I return you to your regularly scheduled blog that is already in progress......
Day 21 & 22: Gatlinburg & Bristol, TN & Coeburn
Loading Map
Yesterday began very early because we needed to drive to St. Paul for Andrew to take a drug test for his new job before hitting the road for Gatlinburg. The drug place was very shady. It used to be a tanning place and also a hair salon. You can tell what it was because the signs are still up and barely painted over. So he was very freaked out and just trying to drink a lot while we waiting for the workers to arrive back from the drug store (there was a sign saying they just stepped out). But he was glad to get it over with
Then we hit the road on the way to the closest Panera which was an hour away but only added about 10 minutes to our driving time to the tourist trap of the world. So we finally got there, by this time we were starved and got some breakfast. I had a very delicious bagel and pumpkin muffie and Andrew had a bagel breakfast sandwich. We got them to go so we could keep truckin'.
Daniel told us we would arrive in Gatlinburg right after 11 am so this was very exciting and about half an hour before we had planned. At about 10:30 we were already seeing the outside fringes of tackiness. For the last part of our drive we could see giant stores, mini-golf places, and lots of t-shirts for sale. We even saw an upside down building and a life-size replica of the Titanic. Yes it is a very interesting area.
Once we reached the actual city of Gatlinburg, which took a bit longer than Daniel said because of all the crazy traffic, we found a good parking spot near our first attraction and headed inside
Next, we walked along and were planning to head down to one place we thought about going for lunch
So, we kept walking towards lunch. Then, we saw this cool place that you could act like someone in the gold rush. They give you a bucket of dirt and this wooden frame with wire mesh inside. What you do is scoop the dirt into your mesh thing and put it down in the water to get the mud out. Then, whatever gems you find you get to keep. I asked if you actually found stuff and the guy said, "Of course, this is the real deal honey" or something like that. Anyways, it was lots of fun and we actually did find lots of good stones. We found some Topaz, Tourmaline, little emeralds, some Garnet and some others
Then finally we got to the place we were headed but it was closed. Then we realized we had planned to go to a different place on the other end of the strip to eat lunch but it was far away so we just wandered down toward the Aquarium (our after-lunch destination) and found a place along there. We decided on a place that's name sounded familiar so we thought we may have seen it be recommended online, Legends by Max (or something like that). It was good but I don't think we will go back next time. Our waitress didn't really speak English but seemed like she was from Russia or somewhere around there even though the restaurant is supposed to be Italian. I asked for a side salad to go with my sandwich and she said "I think I will bring you the whole thing and you just eat some." But I did get a side salad so apparently her assistant did speak some English
Then, it was off to see the fishies. We stopped at a few candy stores on the way, they are in abundance in Gatlinburg, to get some dessert and snacked on it as we strolled. The aquarium was also by Ripley's Believe it or Not so there were lots of interesting facts written about the fish there. We saw these fish that hop around in the mud. They were very cool and some of Andrew's favorite but the video talked about how they had to do with evolution so that was kind of not as nice. We also saw these fish that have built-in bifocals because they swim at the surface and can see above and below the water. There were other fish that could change their sex. One group of fish always travels in a group of about 32 females and 1 male. When the male dies, the highest ranking female changes and becomes the male for the group. They also had a shark tunnel where you go through and there are sharks all around you. There were even some scratches on the glass that they said was a result of a shark attack. They had a tunnel to crawl through the penguin aquarium too but none of the penguins were swimming so it wasn't as exciting. Although, you could come up in the middle and they were right there looking at you through the glass
I couldn't resist getting a few souvenirs at the aquarium and found this delightful little shark in a sweatshirt that said Ripley's Aquarium. But I wanted a shark in a blue sweatshirt but they only sold them in pink and purple sweatshirts. But they did have turtles wearing blue or green sweaters. So, Andrew was very sweet and had the brilliant idea to have a turtle and a shark switch shirts. The plan went off without a hitch and now I am the proud owner of a shark-y in a blue sweatshirt. I am very happy with him because he is very cute.
After the aquarium, we took our time strolling back to the place we tried to eat for lunch because we knew where it was and it looked good. We stopped at several shops on the way and got some cheesy souvenirs and I found some scrap booking stuff. I think we may have also stopped at another candy store. Well there was for sure some candy store we stopped at sometime through out the day where they had lots of gummy things - we got gummy lobsters, dinosaurs, and mini bears but passed on the eggs, sharks, and fishes.
When we got back to the Cherokee grill for dinner we headed right in and got a table
After dinner we strolled back to the area of the car and stopped to talk to the gem place when I decided to get that one stone cut, as I mentioned before. When we got near the car we found the space needle arcade. We didn't plan to go anywhere else. We were actually excited to be leaving a little earlier than planned. But somehow we ended up looking around this arcade. And I saw they had a pirate Elmo you could win. Then we were hooked. So we got some tokens and played for a while. We first played the fun games to get that out of our system so we could focus on winning tickets. So we played until we had enough for Elmo. When we went to trade our tickets in, the guy was very nice and actually let us have some extra prizes and charged us less for Elmo so that was good. Then we were satisfied and left just after the time we had originally planned to.
Since it was late we decided to only drive back to Andrew's Grandparent's house (his Mamaw and Papaw) since it was about an hour closer than his house
On the way back, we stopped at the Pizza Inn to get a cookie pizza. Andrew has wanted me to try one of these every time I have come in but something has always happened and we weren't able to. I have yet to eat a slice of it but it looks delicious. I think it will be for dessert after the southern feast Andrew's mom is cooking up for us. She is making sweet potato balls, fried squash and cornbread so far.
I am also excited I got two exciting e-mails today. One was from the person that interviewed me giving me some coding problems I need to work on as "next steps" and another was from a professor who was passing on some job opportunities. So you can be praying for those things especially that I have the time and knowledge to do that coding.
The rest of today will be focused on packing and getting things done that need to get done before I head back to Lynchburg then home. It has been a good trip to the south, a very different south than Charleston but still with the same pride. I hope you have enjoyed seeing both sides of it.

Hooray for Kylie getting a US job! They would be crazy not to hire her.....
Also, we went to Gatlinburg when I was 10. We also went to Hillbilly golf (the one in the picture). I tried to play, but I hit the ball too hard and it flew right off into the mountain. I was forced to reimburse them for this golf ball. Good times

Content filtering proxy service
I'll have to test his "content filtering service"
the proxy is based on Squid
and the content filtering part is managed by DansGuardian
all the software is updated to the latest version and the content-filtering is based on (words weight / banned urls and IPs)
everything on an external CentOS machine
for the first tests I'll just have to test for filter evasion nothing hard yet
if this will go well i think he'll make me test it a little bit deeper
could you help me to compile something like a check list about the tests to do?
or just some tips/hints
P.S. I wasn't really sure about the section so feel free to move the post

Free Style Tips: Homecoming Dresses!
If your quince is all about making a statement, have your damas don this bold orange frock. The simple shape means it's way easy to pull off, but the intricate beading on the bodice separates it from your average sundress!

For a subtle hint of sparkle, pick a dress with monochromatic sequins or beading details! They'll still shimmer on the dance floor, but won't be in competition with the disco ball. Pair the dress with nude heels to make your legs look long and lean!

i was just playing around with an old cavalier image and made this oddity. it's a MAXX before it's time, for one, and i put in some gallic influences and proportions . . . perhaps it was a study for a joint venture with chevy and citroën or peugeot. then i Foose-ified it in a fake restoration.
EGAD!!! how ugly!! no offense!
not to mince words but eeewwww. i'm sorry to say that even your talents can't help the caviler. the only way i would have liked to see that go into production is if it stayed in france.

Thanks to their small footprint and process refinements since the technology was introduced to the U.S. market more than a decade ago, submerged membrane bioreactors are increasingly popular in areas where water is scarce, space is at a premium, and discharge standards exceed federal requirements.
Santa Paula, Calif., is one such area.
Located 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 14 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, the city of 30,000 is at the geographical center of Ventura County. Surrounded by rolling hills and rugged mountain peaks in addition to orange, lemon, and avocado groves, the "Citrus Capital of the World" lies in the heart of the rich agricultural Santa Clara River Valley.
Built in 1939, the city's activated sludge 2.5-mgd water recycling facility had become noncompliant even after several upgrades. After receiving $8 million in fines for 3,000 violations, the city decided it was time for a new facility, one that would generate revenue by selling water to local farmers.
In California, water for surface irrigation must be disinfected tertiary recycled water whose effluent turbidity doesn't exceed 2 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). When consultants estimated that a facility meeting those standards would cost $80 million, the city considered a new financing model to keep costs down. Proponents say that design-build-operate-finance is less risky than projects funded by tax-exempt financing.
Passed in 1996, California Code 5956 streamlines the public-private partnership process for infrastructure projects. As one of the state's least compliant wastewater sites, Santa Paula's facility was a prime candidate for design-build-operate-finance.
In 2008 the city entered into a 30-year concession with Santa Paula Water LLC — a joint venture of water recycling company Pacific Environmental Resources Corp. (PERC) and an investment fund managed by Alinda Capital Partners LLC — making the new plant the largest waste-water project under the 14-year-old law.
Vice President of Infrastructure Development Steve Owen says that PERC estimated the design-build-operate-finance project-delivery method lowers the facility's cost to $57 million.
Of the plant itself, which has common-wall box construction that allows the head works building to sit directly above the lift station, he says: "It's a paradigm shift in the industry, applying tried-and-true technology in a different way." The rotary drum thickeners sit directly above the digesters, eliminating the need to install hundreds of feet of pipe.
"This 1-acre site houses a wastewater treatment plant in a 14,000-square-foot building," he says.
The 3.4-mgd facility is expected to be 15% more energy efficient than the old plant. Based on Koch Membrane Systems' 1,500 m2 Puron module, the system uses a single header with reinforced hollow fibers that are fixed only at the bottom. The sealed upper end of the fiber is allowed to float freely, eliminating the build up of hair and fibrous materials that typically clog the upper ends of membrane fibers in membrane modules that have both top and bottom headers.
Solids and particulates, including bacteria, are retained by the membrane and remain on the outside, while permeate is drawn through the membrane to the inside of the fibers. The outside-to-inside flow pattern provides a high flow-rate with up to half the energy of older technology. In addition, the free-floating, fiber tip central air scour nozzles reduce air scour requirements.
Scheduled to begin operating no later than Dec. 15, the facility will produce a finished effluent with biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids concentrations less than 5 milligrams per liter (mg/L), total nitrogen less than 8 mg/L, and turbidity less than 0.2 NTU.
All of the effluent will be sent to three new percolation ponds designed to recharge the aquifer before being piped to local farms.

Rusty, I have not looked into MI specific rules o this. I will do so.
Rusty, I have not looked into MI specific rules o this. I will do so.
I would guess the only way you will ever find your hives is to go to court and put the real estate agent under oath. If you went through an eviction I can guess no one is in the mood to be helpful or cooperative.
one of these from Rockler. I'm hoping they get it to me quicker than the 4-6 weeks that they mention.
Just makes me rest better knowing my hives are branded.
For all the other folks in MI: in michigan there is no inspection requirement and no need to mark hives. This was easily found with a search of "State of Michigan Apiary Inspection Law "
I do believe that I'll make a branding iron while I'm forging my hive tool. If the fire is burning, i might just as well use the heat.

Sorry, the bees are the insult to the injury.
Got that right!
LOLOL I guess Alabama is as bad as everyone else, after all, when it comes to giving out accurate info! I was told it HAD to be marked or branded and couldn't be resold with bees unless it was branded (assuming nucs here?).
Here is the statute:
I always just assumed that if it has bees in it, it is considered "used" thus the required brand. Well, whichever it is, my stuff is branded. Better to err on the side of caution, I'm thinking.Section 2-14-7
Owners, etc., to mark used hive-bodies and supers; marks, etc., to be approved by State Apiarist.
To adequately identify used bee equipment, the owner or other person in possession of such equipment shall be required to mark all hive-bodies and supers with an easily identified symbol, which symbol or identifiable mark must be approved by the State Apiarist.
(Acts 1965, No. 794, p. 1488, §6.)
Rusty Hills Farm -- home of AQHA A Rusty Zipper and Rusty's Bees.
A tip on marking wood that I don''t remember where I learned it or why. When marking don't only burn the wood. that can be sanded off. But compress the wood. this can also be sanded off but the mark can still be revealed due to wood fibers under the mark also having been altered.
This of course only helps if you can actually locate stolen equipment. The only idea I have sen on that note is to instal GPS locators in random hives. In many cases revealing the non visible part of a compressed mark is nothing more than rubbing a wood stain over the area. The compressed fibers take up the stain differently revealing the mark. You can also often moisten the wood over the area and the compressed fibers will expand and show the mark in raised letters.
Anyway just another tip in how to get things marked and keep them that way.
Sorry I can't help with the finding of the equipment part.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
Wow that is too bad. I bet you have a lot of hindsight on what happened to you.
beardance, from what I can tell Gypsum has a population of maybe 7000 people and is around 100 miles from the burbs of Denver....kinda set apart from the large crowds. I would put some "ads" in the local "for sale" fliers/weeklies...list them in the farm, gardening, "homestead", or whatever categories. Print some fliers and post them around town at service stations, cafes,...anywhere they'll let you. A small reward noted on the fliers might be helpful.
7000 people is still a good many people, but people tend to remember who beekeepers are (they think they're kinda strange people ). Ask around...don't necessarily ask if someone has seen some stolen hives but rather "do you know any beekeepers around here" or "do you know somebody to call to get a swarm of bees out of a bush for me?" or simply "Do you know where I can get some local honey?" Some people are hesitant to get involved in something that could involve the law but will gladly share information otherwise just to show that they know something. Also, go into the grocery stores and curb markets and check the shelves for "local" honey...if the beek that got your hives has some size to him he might be selling some of his honey through those outlets.
I'm curious as whether this is a local realtor or someone more distant? As someone mentioned, check with the state and see who all is at least registered in your area...that doesn't mean that's all the beeks around you but will give you some to maybe contact and give a "heads'up" to.
Just some ideas that you've probably already thought about...
Best wishes,
Link to Western Colorado swarm list including Eagle County and Gypsum at bottom of this page... http://coloradobeekeepers.org/colora...swarm-hotline/
Of course, you may very well already have this in hand, but just in case...
ETA: Another list of Colorado bee removers. The reason I would look at these types of lists is that if a realtor did not know a beekeeper personally then they would be do an internet search for someone to remove bees and these lists are what they would find.
A raw deal for you, I'm sorry for the turmoil in your life right now. There is a Colorado Realtor Commission that would be interested in this type of activity. The State Attorney General might be interested as well. Get the complaint in writing and have a lawyer write a letter to your Attorney General, the Realtor's Broker, and the State Realtor's Comission outlining the illegal aspects of the eviction and disoposition of your property. Put a verified dollar value on the property and the damage and highlight that section of the law that gives you a grace period to vacate. Promise public legal action for the Broker and ask the Attorney General to get invoved. You will get results when the Broker does not want a public humiliation. Your results may vary, but Good luck
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Do what Lee said (#36).
Take the realtor to small claims court.
Your real estate issues are not relevant to the issue of the beehives.
The realtor had physical possesion of your hives and disposed of them without your knowledge or consent.
Look up "bailment"; that's what your legal argument is based on.
If you left them there for several months without contacting the realtor, you won't win, but if it's a matter of a week or 3, you will kick his *ss.
And you should.
I don't know how to file where you are, but it will not be hard...might cost a hundred bucks or so, but it's well worth it.
Go the the courthouse, and find the clerk for small claims court.
She will be a wealth of information for you; if not, she will, at least, provide you with the forms.
PM me, and I can help you write a brief.
If you hire a lawyer, you're gonna get screwed, and it is cheaper and easier to let the hives go.
The system can work for the little guy, but you have to be ready.
As of now we are talking to the crime victims unit of the local sheriffs department, so an investigation is in progress. Thanks for everyones support, I appreciate it.
Im with oldtimer on this one!

Power was restored to some 700 Dunnigan customers who lost it Monday night around 11 o'clock, according to Pacific, Gas & Electric.
CBS 13 news of Sacramento reported that roads near Dunnigan were still closed on Tuesday morning after a damaged power pole sparked a grass fire.
Smoke and flames could be seen coming from county Road 88, just off Interstate 5, according to the television network.
When crews arrived, they found a transformer from the pole throwing sparks into the grass, which was on fire. It also leaked oil on the roadway.
County Road 88 near Highway 99 remained closed into Tuesday morning as crews repaired the transformer and a pole that burned in the fire, CBS 13 reported.

Jayde Nicole: How to Plan for a Holiday Detox
Healthy lifestyles tend to take a hit over the holidays. But Jayde Nicole has the answer with a well-timed cleanse.
Welcome to Workout Wednesdays, the new Playboy.com fitness blog by Jayde Nicole—personal trainer, fitness nutritionist, health nut, TV personality and, last but not least, Playboy's 2008 Playmate of the Year. Check back each week for Jayde's latest tips, and be sure to visit her all-new fitness website JaydeNicole.com.
This Week: How To Plan For A Holiday Detox
Cleansing seems to be the new black these days. Everyone is trying the juice cleanse, the Hollywood 48-hour diet and hundreds of others. As the owner of a cleansing system myself, I get asked tons of questions. "Can I eat on a cleanse?" "Do you have to cut out all sugar?" "Can I still drink alcohol?" People seem to be very confused and misled about what cleanses are for and how you take them. Let's start by looking at:
Why you cleanse
-Do you constantly feel bloated? This may be because you have a buildup of "junk" in your intestinal tract, giving you a puffed out lower stomach or a small beer belly if you will. A simple 7-14 day colon cleanse will do the trick for this.
-You want to lose weight. A cleanse is a great place to start. Not only are you shedding all that buildup in your lower abdomen but you are also detoxing your liver and other organs that assist in burning calories and fat everyday. The healthier your organs are, the harder they are working for you.
-Are you feeling tired or sluggish? A buildup of toxins can cause fatigue, dull skin and hair, and a lack of energy among other things. Get yourself clean and healthy by doing a full body metal or toxin cleanse. You won't believe the difference in your energy levels.
-You partied a little too much over the holiday season. As acceptable as it has become, alcohol is still a poison/toxin and does damage to our livers and body. Yes I know boys, it's hard to believe beer is bad for you. Help repair and clean out those organs by cutting the booze, upping your water intake and committing to a 14 day cleanse.
How you cleanse:
I am a firm believer that starvation or deprivation is never ok. So all of those detox or juice-only cleanses are not good in my book. If your cleanse says you can only eat cabbage soup and drink water for two weeks it's not really helping you. Yes you will probably shed some pounds because of your low caloric intake, but it won't stick or get rid of build up or toxins. This also goes for the one shake a day and juice diets. Your body needs whole foods, protein and nutrients; depriving it is doing you more harm than good.
The type of cleanse I promote is taken with a healthy diet in a supplement form, usually one when you wake up and one before bed. They are easy to take and don't require you to change your whole life around. You continue eating a normal healthy diet and keep your body nourished and happy.
What you should not do on a cleanse:
The point of cleansing is to rid your body of toxins right? So, it's understandable that for the two weeks you are on your cleanse you try to avoid consuming any type of toxins. This means keeping your processed foods at bay, no alcohol, no drugs (this should be all of the time!), and no smoking! Now this doesn't mean if you have a glass of wine while on a cleanse it will ruin the whole process, but you should try your best to avoid it to achieve the best results.
My favorite cleanse:
I have probably tried over 20 different types of cleanses, promising a wide variety of outcomes. Some worked, some didn't, and some had terrible side effects! So I made it my goal to create a cleanse that was easy to take, that didn't interrupt my lifestyle, came with no negative side effects, and that was super effective! Oh and did I mention I wanted it to be all natural? Well after lots of trials and testing, we did it! The JNF Secret Weapon Cleanse was born. I have done three cycles of it since we launched and we have sold thousands of systems with only positive feedback. The Secret Weapon Cleanse is available exclusively at http://JaydeNicole.com/store
So let's get you slimmed down, clean and healthy!

Reviews of this property
I was in Tokyo for sightseeing, nightlife and to met new people.
This Apartment was awesome. I had my own Privat Space in a very clean Room with a Lock where no Person can disturb. There is a clean Toilet, a Bathroom and a really cool Kitchen. It felt like home.
The manager was awesome! very friendly, very helpfull and he become a my awesome big brother. It felt like family. He was there when I had a question and he was there when I was leaving.
All this made it so hard to leave.
Back in Berlin I´m missing this Appartment already.
If I have the chance to comeback to tokyo again I will stay here again!
Thank you Namichou Abi!
Thank you Yoji!
Best greetz Franky, Berlin!
I spend five nights in Tokyo and it is a great location, it is very close to the Subway and from there you are very fast everywhere. It is clean. The hairsalon is cute and the bar is fun. good for flexible and easy-going people.
Great location , cheap with everything included, you can't loose your opportunitie in this place to be by yourself!
And there is a really cheap supermarket close to the closest temple, Ozeki, very good.
friendly place with very cool roommates! a bit noisy though.
endroit sympathique avec des colocataires très cools! un peu bruyant cela dit.
It was great. The room is spartan but the situation, stop shibuya is ideal, extremely friendly roommates, the roof terrace a big plus. I will return!
C'était super. La chambre est spartiate mais la situation, à un arrêt de shibuya, est idéale, les colocs extrêmement accueillants, la terrasse sur le toit un gros plus. Je reviendrai!!
Very good value for money. Good location (to Shibuya Station) and adequate for a short stay. However, the noise from the bar which is on the same floor is omnipresent night until 2-3am and can upset people with a light sleep.
Très bon rapport qualité-prix. Bien situé (à une station de Shibuya), et suffisant pour un séjour court. Toutefois, le bruit du bar qui se trouve sur le même étage est omniprésent la nuit jusqu'à 2-3h et peut déranger les personnes qui ont un sommeil léger.
This was my third time in this place so i fell like i was at home :-)

Hello Folks,
I am a new beekeeper this year. I find it to be a fascinating hobby. I started out this spring with 2 nucs of Italians. They seem to be, in my opinion (an uneducated one for sure) doing real well. They have filled 2 deeps with honey and with the fall bloom, have each partially filled out a medium super. I would love to try my honey, but some beekeeper friends suggest I leave the partially filled supers on all winter, so when the queen starts laying they will have a little extra honey. I know the decision is ultimately mine, but I would like to get as much input as possible. What do you think?
My other question is about reactions to bee stings. I have experienced progressively worsenning reactions to the stings from my little friends. I had my doctor prescribe an Epipen for me, just to be safe. I would like to hear from others that have had this experience. Do the reactions ever level off, or do they continue to get worse? I would hate to have to give up my new hobby. Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I have never come across any other on-screen couple as enigmatic and appealing as "Chair". I was never a follower of any show on tv but after watching Gossip Girl Season 1 Episode 2, I got hooked, not on the whole show but on "Chair". Who would've thought they could ooze sensuality as much as they can when they aren't even together for real? They look so good together, I really hope they hook up. Great gallery of "Chair" photos! Thanks!

Wenjing Sui/Cong Han won their first intenational in their first competition! Great technical elements and musicality! IMO they will be among the top very soon, when they get that 3F and fine tone their skating skills. I'm so excited to see them skating!
I there. I am from Portugal too, and yes Stephane Lambiel is half portuguese, his sister (Silvia) and his mother live in Lisbon, Portugal. In the Europeans of 2006 together with all the swiss cheers was there a portuguese flag, the video is on youtube and you can see it any moment. Also when he dated Carolina Kostner her favourite country was Portugal and her dream trip was Azores(Island of Portugal).
Giovanna Almeida Leto was a representer of Portugal and it was the first ever, the thing: she never been in Portugal, and that kinda of sucks.
Jasmine Alexandra Costa, also as my last name (Costa) and her whole name is portuguese, she is my friend on facebook i have to ask her if she as something to do with Portugal.
Then, Samuel Morais actually representing Canada also has a name completly portuguese, i have already asked him on facebook but no awnser.
Also, Johnathan Guerreiro, i have no idea about him but the thruth his if you go to isu biographys you find lots of thems with portuguese names.
It`s a chame that in Portugal doesn`t exist any rink of ice skating
I had luck once because i went to Paris and Andorra and i have been in rinks already but theres a lot of fans of figure skating that doesn`t have that much luck.
I would love to be a coach or a judge of figure skating. <3
Bem-vinda ao forum!!
It's nice to see the little lusophone (is that one right??) family growing!
The brazilian skater, Kevin Alves, is half portuguese, half brazilian (but born in Canada). Too bad didn't qualify at Nebelhorn... (not too much of a shocker, but still...)
And I loved your username
Thanks, beep_beep . I`ve forgetten about Kevin, i also knewn his case Humm, knowing that out there there`s people (portuguese people) who knows about figure skating is so great! I never found anyone, is the first time and belive me i hava an account on almost every forum of figure skating and website or blog. Thank god i finnaly found lusophone people who like figure skating. I am so gald

Question, first off if I have posted in the wrong forum, please forgive me and move this to where it belongs, what is the average price reduction for a package w/o a queen. For example; If a package sells for $100.00 w/queen then what should one expect to pay for the same size package w/no queen?
Curious to hear your responses.

The i-maxx by ebm-papst– Intelligent fans for smart savings Most axial fans of the "compact class" still use the old shaded-pole motor AC technology, despite the very poor efficiency of these motors compared to DC technology. Until recently, the main barrier to improvement has been that DC technology could not be operated directly from the AC mains supply. A solution is now available with i-Maxx technology from ebm-papst. The i-Maxx retains the mounting dimensions of the equivalent AC fans and provides the capability to operate on AC mains power around the world, while reaching efficiencies of up to 30%!

[quote user="Raptor22"][quote user="nycsportzfan"]not that we moved far but after the win i got us at about pick 19 if we were drafting today This is my weekly mock based on where we are at that point(and also team needs may change based on someone stepping up or whatever) PICKING 19th OVERALL
1 michael brewster c ohio st(jacquian williams looks great as of now so i took out zach brown and put in brewster as our oline looks like it needs some beefing up and this moves baas back to G)
I think getting a C high would be a bit of a mistake. Baas is mediocre at G (he never made any noise at G in San Fran, but was a beast at C for them). They've got Koets at backup, and when healthy could probably push Baas.
If a C is far and away the BPA, I wouldn't have a problem with the pick... that strategy has worked pretty well so far. I'd just be a bit surprised if Luck/Barkley (and possibly Moore) don't push some great talent down.
[/quote] Hes a fine Guard and not a mike brewster type C(potentially) Brewster is a beast and has the potential to be a top 5-10 C in this league and with DIehl being owed 3plus mill next yr a spot at G may open up and if the giants pick around there and the Value is right for Brewster its certainly a decent idea to move Baas back to G and Brewster to C Our Oline needs a jolt of top notch talent in my opinion

Independence Day happens year after year, to commemorate one of the most important days in America's history.
On July 4th, 1776, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence. While the signing of the document didn't happen until August, the Fourth of July holiday has been implemented as the official anniversary of the United States independence.
It is celebrated from coast to coast, with parades, barbecues and special services to honor our great nation.
In Philadelphia, July 8th, 1776 the Fourth of July was first observed as a holiday. The Declaration of Independence was read aloud, bells across the city were rung, and music could be heard for miles from various bands. However, it wasn't declared a legal holiday until 1941.
Traditionally, the Fourth of July is celebrated in all states and territories of the U.S., with parades, patriotic speeches and fireworks. Families typically celebrate with barbecues, picnics and smaller scale fireworks displays.

I used Excel's transpose command in these circumstances -with some care, it can solve the problem.
It's under Edit / Paste Special - there's a transpose option. Try "transpose" in Excel help for an example and other options.

specify what to do with them. The only problem is that the variables are
rows, not columns. I tried writing a dictionary using _row(#) instead of
_column(#), but I keep getting errors (see below) and am wondering why
this is invalid. And if so, what on earth can I do to automate the read-in
process, as cleaning up each Excel file by hand would take prohibitively

There are 58 row variables and 7 column cases (each of which is separated

text: Taking my 12 Captiva 2.4 in for service Nov 22nd, having the following issues below, also wondering if anyone else has similar problems. 27k miles 1. Headlights and interior lights have started flickering at idle. Also when I turn on my blinker or depress the brakes, I notice my headlights dimming down for a split second. (I'm guessing a bad alternator or battery). 2. Volume control on steering wheel is very tight to operate / broken. 3. Drivers door intermittently will not unlock via fob or when putting the SUV in park. 4. all 4 Power windows sometimes will not go down. 5. Transmission 6T45(MH7) has always had a lot of issues. Eco mode on and off. A. Consistently stays in 5th gear going downhill for 10 seconds. B. When cold, slips between 1-2 gear badly, after its warm it seems fine. C. Rolling slowly in parking lots, between 1-2 and 2-3 it sometimes slams into gear and feels like I have been rear ended. D. Highway, sometimes kicks to 3rd gear revving 5900RPM+ for no reason. Turning off cruise control results in a very loud deceleration noise. It stays stuck in 3rd gear for 5-10 seconds then shifts back to 6th. E. Multiple times under heavy acceleration in the city, stays stuck in first gear, revs to red line, very loud deceleration noises, after 5-10 seconds it begins to shift and operate like normal. F. Setting cruise control at 72MPH right after a fast acceleration on the highway results in the suv downshifting to 3rd gear, revving 5900 RPM and staying stuck there for 5-10 seconds. Disconnecting the battery for 2 hours did not help; the transmission seems stuck on stupid, just plain bad transmission programming. Hope there is a software update that can fix it. 6. Belt chirps at startup, also chirps loud if the AC is turned on. 7. Engine idle is horrible, it's always on the edge of stalling, the entire SUV jumps, rocks, shakes, jars passengers constantly at idle, feels like a 3 cylinder. I have complained to the dealer 4 times already and they say its normal. Passengers are laughing at me it idles so badly. Envision an gnome under the hood with a switch turning the engine off and on at random real fast, that's my engine idle. (Maybe a bad alternator, timing chain or bad battery could be causing this?) I have tried a new air filter, new spark plugs at 15k, 8 bottles of chevron techron have been put through the gas tank, nothing helps the idle. 8. From a cold start, the engine chatters very loudly, sounds like it has no oil in it. Slow in a parking lot 1000-2000 RPM, louder on deceleration. Premium gas does not help, after it warms up it goes away. 9. Drivers window does not go up all the way while driving on the highway in high winds; it gets stuck in the molding. Reported this already, they put silicone on the molding, but it never fixed it. Nothing but trouble with my last 3 Chevys, not sure why I keep buying them, this one will likely be my last, and I may have to ditch it soon if GM does not support it.

Discussion in 'March 2007' started by Dlev59, Mar 25, 2007.
That's right, dunes. It bounced off the top of the backboard and then fell straight in.
Which is why you have defensive substitutions. Delfino should not have been covering Heinrich at that moment in the game. Sr. has to know Heinrich is going to have a good chance at drawing a foul from him. As for the players: CB looks like he has the flu Sheed hit some clutch threes, but I'd rather have him make some clutch dunks. Shooting more threes than fts. Not good. JMax, other than a few nice blocks, did not look good. Teams are learning his style, and he's not able to draw fouls like he used to, he's getting blocked, and he's not getting boards. Jr. reverted to bad Flip. Zero effort on D. Stands around without the ball. Tay looked like the guy we've all been waiting for him to be. Delfino, 2nd best player last night, until the boneheaded foul. Sr: I know we were shorthanded, but Tay played too much, and if Delfino at the 2 brought us back in the 2nd, why did he switch to Hunter at the 2, in the 3rd? I do not understand his player rotations. BTW, how bout that Phoenix game, 45-33 after the 1st?
Chauncey is in trouble with ESPN's Daily Dime.
If I recall correctly, Delfino fouled Hinrich on help defense. Hinrich wasn't his man.
Yeah, Fino came over to trap Hinrich and got taken by the pump fake. CB was guarding Hinrich.
I totally disagree. Murray may not have been very effective, but he has totally been focused and hustling on D. He gets an A for effort last night, even if it is a C for results.
Hey, if nobody fell for pump fakes anymore, nobody would still be pump faking.
Maybe my memory is off, but I thought I saw Fino got picked, and then jumped off the screen to try and block the shot. I don't recall seeing CB anywhere in the picture.
Billups better be askin for Lindsey Hunter kind of money in his new deal. He played like he had the flu last nite. We shoudda beat down those streaky Bulls.
Well, Chauncey was playing defense. What did you expect?
I think Billups stock is definitely on a slide. He's valuable to any team, but his individual worth is highly questionable since he has started to struggle. That's the kind of stuff Joe D taps in to when he plays hardball ala Ben Wallace.
Besides the loss, I think that was one of the most helpful game the team has played the entire season. I learned a lot about the team that makes me think we have a legitimate chance at a finals. First, most of the team has the flu. It is obvious. They are lackluster and a step slow. Nevertheless, they showed me a few things: 1. Prince has instilled confidence in me that he may finally "get it." With Hamilton / Webber out, there are many more shots open and Prince has taken them. Not only is his jumper falling, but he is back to scoring off his man. This is pivotal as he maybe are best mismatch come playoff time. 2. The defense is becoming just sick. During the two runs (2nd qtr / 4th qtr) the defense played awesome. Finally, I saw the team defend the pick and roll with some precision. This maybe because Maxiel was in instead of webber, but most of the time it is the guards fault for recovering to late and forcing the switch. As bad as they played today, I thought all the perimeter players did a good job at that. Second, the trap defense employed by Flip was awesome, maybe better than when we ran it with LB. The trap forced a lot of bad decisions, but didn't (as many traps do) lead to uncontested layups by the Bulls, because the help side D was there. Basically, the reason that I am so optimistic is because the sudden loss of all these players is forcing or allowing Flip to try a bunch of stuff. Were as most teams run a single type of offense (p & r, motion) the Pistons have the versatility to run a bunch of types. Hopefully, Flip is smart enough to use them all. Also, the multiple defensive looks that the Stones can now run will make it really hard for opposing offesnes to cue up on one particular weakness. This diversity of skills the team has I think is what will separate them from the rest. Especially in the playoffs were the ability to adapt is what makes the win. This is were we are different from last year where we had to rely on Hamilton / Billups creating and the LB ere man on man defense.
Micro, I am sure you are disagreeing about the zero D part. The part about him just standing around on offense when he does not have the ball is 100% true.
This is why I think he's more of a point guard than a 2. He does better when he has the ball and is a threat to drive. Not better than Chaunce, but better than he does as CB's wingman.
true, but you shouldn't be leaving your feet with the game tied and only a few seconds left on the clock. especially here, where hinrich was behind the 3-point line and going to have to take a tough shot ... just get a hand in his face and take your chances that he misses, especially since hinrich is a terrible shooter.
Boy that game made me mad. The one positive was that Chicago looks like the Indiana teams of the last couple years - tough, grinding clubs that ultimately had a pretty low ceiling. We played like crap for three quarters of the game, without two starters, on their court, and it was still a two-point game that included the luckiest basket you're ever likely to see. But would somebody rebound the damn ball already?
That's no different than Billups. Or Webber. Or at times, Tayshaun. Or Lindsey.
As improbable shot as any, that in essence could have been categorized as the winning shot or the difference in the game
One good thing, Bulls fans will decieve themselves into thinking they are just as good until the playoffs come and we smoke 'em.
