His team took a 31-0 beating last week, but Mark Zilinskas isn't talking to his team about blocking or tackling or making big plays. He's being more of a therapist than a football coach this week.
In the days since Zilinskas' Indians took one on the chin from Franklin Regional in what he billed as a game with a playoff atmosphere, the veteran coach said he has been working hard to massage his team's fragile ego with hopes of getting it ready for this week's opponent, highly regarded Mars, in a WPIAL Class AAA Greater Allegheny Conference game.
"That was the big concern (because) we really do have guys who can make plays," Zilinskas said. "People were worried. But you get those goofy games that happen now and then when things go wrong. So maybe some guys have some self-doubt, and they need to get through them. Maybe we do have self-esteem issues. So we've tried to stay positive all week."
The Indians opened the season with a feel-good 33-7 win at Hampton that gave the team high hopes for the rest of the season. But those hopes came crashing down last Friday, when first-place Franklin Regional made its presence felt early by taking a 24-0 halftime lead against the stunned Indians.
But Zilinskas said his team has fought back the negativity in the days following their Jekyll-and-Hyde performances against Hampton and Franklin Regional.
"They've responded very well," he said. "It was still a tough loss. We had high expectations going into the game. It had a playoff atmosphere. So after a game like that, particularly when the score differential was so great, it was shocking. Coming off the field, it was like, 'What just happened?' People think you're nuts if you give up 31 points and say you did some things right, but I think we did. Physically, they didn't jam it down our throats. I thought from the second quarter on, we played good defense. But we just dug ourselves too deep a hole."
The hope this week against Mars (1-1) is that there won't be any first-half meltdowns like there was against Franklin Regional. But Zilinskas knows that won't be easy. The Planets, who lost by seven, 20-13, to Franklin Regional in the opener, boast some of the top talent in the conference, led by quarterback Owen Nearhoof and running back Josh Schultheis.
In Mars' 64-7 thrashing of Derry last Friday, Nearhoof passed for 143 yards and two scores, and Schul-theis rushed for 222 yards and four touchdowns. Most astonishingly, the Planets outgained Derry 425-14 in the first half and held a 52-0 lead.
"This is going to be a tough game for us," Zilinskas said. "I look for it to be a battle."
Zilinskas said he's anxious to see how his front lines on both sides of the ball match up with Mars' lines.
"We need to play up front like we're capable of," he said. "That will be key for us. This will be a very good battle for us up front."
The other key is for the Indians to come out with an upbeat attitude seven days after taking a demoralizing loss.
Zilinskas isn't labeling this game as any other than the next one. He tried that last week, and it ended badly. So this time, he just hopes his team comes out relaxed and focused like it did against Hampton.
"We've been looking at this as a learning situation," Zilinskas said. "We don't want the kids to get too low about (last week's loss). It wasn't the biggest game ever. … So we've gone back to fundamentals this week, and I'll tell you what: I look for us to have a very competitive game against Mars."

It is usually several months later in the year that I begin my annual lament over the state of the U.S. federal budget. Not so much the deficit — which is too high, but manageable — but rather the foolhardy method we have for funding it. (See recent discussions here, here, andhere).
I am not going to spend too much time on the issue of a long bond, other than to reiterate this simple formulation: Demand for Treasuries + ultralow rates + big, persistent U.S. funding needs = need for a long bond, preferably one that matures in as much as 50 years. However, there is an enormous difference between the abstract debate over how big our deficit is or should be and the more pragmatic discussion of how best to fund it.
The latter is our subject matter for today. Despite near-record low interest rates — the 10-year Treasury bond yields less than 1.9 percent — we finance our deficits with lots of short-term debt, rolling it over constantly. There are any number of problems with this approach: Funding could be subject to disruptions if we have another financial crisis; the administrative costs are more expensive than they need be; and it misses the opportunity to match duration of long-term, persistent obligations with long-term, stable funding.
But rather than taking a sensible approach to deficit funding, it seems like we're going in the opposite direction based on the latest statement from the Treasury Department:
In November 2015, Treasury reiterated intentions to increase Treasury bill issuance . . . Treasury is announcing reductions of $1 billion to each of the next 5-year, 7-year, 10-year, and 30-year nominal coupon offering sizes, for both new issues and reopenings. In aggregate, relative to what would have been issued under the previous schedule, nominal coupon issuance will be reduced by $12 billion over the upcoming quarter. These adjustments will begin with the 10- and 30-year nominal note and bond auctions being announced today. . . Treasury is also announcing downward adjustments to the offering sizes for all TIPS tenors over the next quarter. Specifically, Treasury is announcing reductions of $2 billion to each of the next 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year TIPS offering sizes . . . TIPS issuance will bereduced by $6 billion over the upcoming quarter. (Emphasis added.)
Just a reminder that Treasury bills are obligations that mature in one year or less. So how to read the statement above: More short-term debt, $18 billion less in long-term bonds.
If that sounds a bit familiar, it's because it is a variation on what the Federal Reserve did with Operation Twist . . .
Continues here: This Is No Way to Fund the Deficit

Am I the only one who thinks Pitino's comments at yesterday's press conference we completely blown out of proportion? I realize that anytime a future hall of fame coach discusses retirement, it's going to attract some attention. However, you'd think Pitino announced his retirement effective immediately by the way some people are reacting. "When you're 59, you're realistic that you don't have a whole lot of years left," Pitino said at his press conference on Wednesday. "My contract's going to run out in 2017. I'm not coaching anymore after that." First and foremost, shame on you people who haven't learned not to take Rick so seriously. Just a month ago Coach Pitino said that if he continues to feel the way he feels, he could coach until he's 90. Obviously that was an exaggeration, but you get the point. Even if Pitino does decide to step down after the 2017 season, why would that be such a shock? Five more seasons with Pitino would be a blessing in my opinion. Rick will be in hi

I confess. I've had an exceptionally fab week...first seeing Elizabeth Taylor's famed Bulgari jewels right on our set. Then, a visit to the VIP Salon at the Chanel Boutique to get an up- close look at the Spring/Summer 2013 Haute Couture Collection. All I can say is "Wow."
I may never get to Paris to see a Chanel runway show, but this was the next best thing! The collection is set against an enchanted forest theme and the emphasis is on the upper part of the body and the shoulders in particular.
PLAY IT NOW: How To Get Red Carpet Ready Hair
The detailing on the collection is exquisite and impossible to capture in words or in photos. The black floral gowns in the top photo were the last dresses in the collection to be assembled, requiring up to 400 thousand sequins per gown and more than 1000 hours of work per gown. Oh, the patience the artisans at the Métiers d'art houses that specialize in this labor intensive work must have. No wonder they are the best in the world!
I loved the ethereal look of the two pale dresses pictured, particularly the feathered skirt on the left, which consists of several layers of meticulous detailing. The result is a floaty, fluttery gown that appears to be feather-light. Breathtaking!

New techniques and fabrics were also incorporated in this collection. For the first time in Chanel's Couture, a dress was made with neoprene...AKA the material used in scuba suits. A novel tweed effect was also created for several looks using woven ribbons of silk, satin and organza tulle, resulting in a nearly transparent fabric.
Headpieces were made of chiffon and feathers. Some of the buttons in the collection were found in the archives and were like little pieces of jewelry. There was also gorgeous embroidery and hand painted detailing.
When you see the work that goes into these gowns, you realize they should be in a museum. They are like beautiful pieces of art.

I'm assuming this is a quest due to the quest notes, but it wasn't specified very well. Are the paragraphs from in-game quest text or is it lore? For now I'm assuming it's a quest and adding BC/Quest tags as well as moving it to Quest:Archmage Vargoth. Sam Weber 17:21, 12 November 2006 (EST)
It wasn't specified what needs to be done, but I'm assuming some of those broken links should be removed, and it needs boilerplating. I have added the bp tag to the article. -=<lilyth>=- t/c 19:32, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

To keep tabs on its infrastructure, Las Vegas uses the survey-grade ScanStation laser-scanning system offered by Switzerland-based Leica Geosystems AG to gather immense amounts of data about an intersection or projected roadway, or for any topographic surveying task. Fewer than 300 of these systems are in use across the country.
By setting up this unmanned equipment to survey the landscape, the city's three survey crews can quickly (about 30 minutes) and safely (no traditional middle-of-the-street surveying required) gather survey-grade data in a full field of view.
The pulsed laser scanner bounces off each element in its field of view. These thousands of points are scanned each second, and data return to the scanner to "paint" a picture of what it's seeing (buildings, underside of bridges, roads, storm drains, etc.). It collects much more data than a typical laser scanner.
The ScanStation is being used to acquire topography on Las Vegas city streets going through design for repair and rehabilitation. Surveyors also used it to collect topographic information to help design a city park.
Since every surveying task is different, not all tasks are suited for this technology. Where line of sight is restricted by fixed objects, surveyors use conventional techniques.
"About 30% of the topographic surveying we do is being accomplished with the ScanStation," says city surveyor Alan Riekki. "However, where the instrument has a clear field of view, the amount of time spent in the field collecting topographic data can be reduced by as much as 50% from a conventional survey."
That, calculated against the daily cost of a field crew, justifies the city's $145,000 investment in the equipment, which Riekki estimates will pay for itself in less than two years.

Whether you are waiting for Santa, lighting the menorah or preparing for a Kwanzaa feast, the season of joy has arrived. No matter how you celebrate it, volunteers with local nonprofit organization Gap Ministries are asking that you help create a Holiday of Hope for foster children in group homes in Southern Arizona.
The organization's Holiday of Hope Program seeks to raise at least $7,000 to provide $50 in gifts for each foster child this holiday season through the Second Annual Festival of Trees, which will be held in Oro Valley from Friday to Sunday.
"When people hear 'group homes,' they often think institutional, hospital-like quarters," said Tiane Kennedy, the organization's public relations director. "Our group homes are lovely, family-style homes in residential neighborhoods. Just because they are foster kids, they should not be treated any differently than our own kids."
The organization is on a mission to positively impact one life at a time through community service. Last year, the organization provided foster care for 312 children ages newborn through young adults.
The children helped have been removed from their homes by Child Protective Services due to abuse, neglect or unsafe circumstances. The typical length of stay for each is about two years.
Kennedy said the SPLASH — or Spirit Powered Love Aggressively Shaping Hearts — houses are built around the idea of family. Each "foster family" comprises a full-time houseparent couple and up to 10 foster children of varying ages.
One house is exclusively dedicated to teenage girls, while others accommodate groups of siblings, who can be difficult to place together.
"Lots of foster homes have only one open bed, and if CPS gets sibling groups of three or four brothers or sisters, we can put them in the same house so they don't have to split up in different foster homes. It is much less stressful for the children," Kennedy said.
A primary goal in SPLASH houses is to model a healthy family relationship, so that he children are exposed to a different family dynamic than many have experienced with their biological parents.
"These kids are not in the system because they have done something wrong," Kennedy said. "They are normal kids, and many of their parents are dealing with addictions and have come from dysfunctional families.
"In our homes we try to model a good parent-family relationship, and even become a resource if the biological parents are open to it. We can spend time with them to help change the structure of their family."
Life in SPLASH houses includes chores and responsibilities, as well as recreational activities.
Children are allowed to remain in SPLASH houses until age 21 if they are working at least 30 hours a week or attending college.
"This allows them to receive some assistance, rather than suddenly being thrust out on their own with no support. Last year we had six kids graduate from high school, and we have one at NAU and one at UA, which is awesome," Kennedy said.
Gap also offers Building Overflow Out of Service Together, a community resource pantry that stores and distributes food and essential household products for 70 nonprofits throughout Southern Arizona.
"Last year we gave out over a million pounds of food to nonprofits," Kennedy said.
The festival will feature sales of 24 specially decorated and themed Christmas trees.
Kennedy hopes the proceeds generated from selling them will help brighten the season for some area youths.
"We have so many really good kids who have had a rough start in life, and this really blesses them during the holidays," Kennedy said.

Great Knight: Tech Beats UTEP
Final Score: Texas Tech 75, Texas-El Paso 68
Lubbock, TX (Sports Network) - Martin Zeno scored a game-high 25 points to lead the Texas Tech Red Raiders to a 75-68 win over the Texas-El Paso Miners in a non-conference tilt at United Spirit Arena.
John Roberson and Alan Voskull also got involved for the Red Raiders (9-5), adding 16 and 13 points, respectively.
Marvin Kilgore paced the Miners (9-4), scoring a career-high 22 points. Randy Culpepper and Tavaris Watts also got involved, adding 10 points apiece in the loss.
Texas Tech shot 52 percent from the floor in the first half to take a 38-37 lead into the break.
The Red Raiders pulled away in the second stanza, connecting on 16-of-23 free- throw attempts to secure the seven-point win.
The Red Raiders were tenacious on defense, turning 23 UTEP miscues into 16 points to secure head coach Bob Knight's 899th career victory.

The promoters of a competition in which spectators can win $100,000 by catching a six are encouraging punters to take a safety-first approach.
Tui's promotion - Catch a Million - calls for spectators wearing branded shirts to catch a boundary with one hand for the six-figure payout.
But sloppy fielding by spectators in Auckland and Queenstown means they're yet to pay a cent.
"We're rubbing our hands together at the moment because no one has actually caught it, but we [do] want people to catch it because it's exciting for spectators," said Tui Breweries spokesman Simon Smith. "It brings that element back into cricket - it's sort of like winning Lotto and we're hoping spectators will get on board."
Mr Smith wanted a safety-first approach after recent games saw some spectators go to ridiculous lengths to snare the catch and the cash prize, crashing over advertising hoardings and falling down grass banks - one man left his infant child briefly to try and catch the ball.
Given there were 22 sixes in the New Zealand innings - 14 from Corey Anderson alone - people weren't short of chances in Queenstown on Wednesday.
Mr Smith said only one person could take home the $100,000 prize on offer at each of the Black Caps' 12 one-day games at home this year.

Ripoff Report
At The Beach8228 E 61st Tulsa, Oklahoma USA
At The Beach AT THE BEACH LIED AND TRICKED ME INTO SIGNING CONTRACT. Tulsa Oklahoma
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
like all brides we want to look pretty and pans for our wedding. I went to at the beach since they were having a $9.95 1 month special. I talked to the lady at the desk about the special. She explained to me the different types of beds that I would be using and that I have unlimited access to all of these including the Versa Spa. We then started to talk about the one month special again and I made sure to ask several questions and that there werent going to be any hidden fees. I asked several times that this was only going to be for one month. She assured me and took my cars and swiped it and then flipped around a digital keypad like the ones at Walmart or Target use, and had me sign since I had used my card to pay. She explained to me that I would also be signing for a one month contract.she went through the contract step by step having me sign after each explanation. what she explained to me was that I was only going to sign the one month contract I never physically seen or have the contract in my hands. all that I seen was a digital screen asking for my signature. I asked again to make sure that this is a one month contract and that I would not be charged anymore after that.again she assured me that I would not have to pay any more.one month later I find on my bank statement an 85 dollar charge from at the beach. I called the manager at the store I signed up at. she then told me to talk to customer care. So I did what she told me to do, I called customer care and waited for every diculous amount of time on hold.I ended up not being able to get ahold of anyone. I've been called customer care again the next day and finally got ahold of someone after another ridiculous long wait. I explained the situation to customer care, and they told me that they couldn't do anything but go off of what was in writing. All they did was repeat themselves that they cannot do anything and that I would have to talk to the manager in the store. I told them that I had already talked to the manager of the store and she told me to call customer care. They had me running in circles for a little while.so I did what they told me to do also, and called and talked to the manager again.she said that she could not do anything to my account and that customer care handles my account. so I again call customer care.they again told me that they could not do anything to my account but go of what was on paper. I told him that I had never even received or seen the contract for which I signed. the name and then talk to me like I was stupid and talked down to me. ccustomer care is constantly rude. after that I went and physically talk to the manager. She explain to me why is she signed me up for a 24 month agreement. Previously the signing the contract, I told her that I was going to be leaving because I was getting married by the end of the month. I would not be able to use more than a month. She explained that she meant the first time we talkfacethat I was going to pay for the 9.95 special then the cancellation fee of $75 she said this was my best choice since I was leaving and only wanted one month of tanning I have been charged for a second month which is another reason I am outraged. I am very upset because I made clear that I only wanted one month membership and I was only going to pay 9.95. At no given time did she ever tell me that I was going to pay a cancellation fee. I I feel that I was tricked into signing a 24 month contract. to find out that the 75 dollar cancellation fee is only applicable if you are actually moving 25 miles away from and at the beach. I told her that I was leaving for a two week vacation not moving permanently.I have yet been able to solve this problem with at the beach. They will not return my money. On top of 85 that they already charged me I have to pay another $75. Do not go to after beach they will scam you into signing a contract please do your research...

My first Tweezerman curler broke after a year. I ordered a new one and have not been as happy with this one. My first one was the best curler I've ever had! I had the best curl. This one doesn't seem to produce the same curl. I have to use it over and over again to get subpar curl. Not sure what happened with this one but product consistency isn't there. Don't want to waste the money to buy another when I just replaced my last one. Buyer Beware.4

The 5310 XpressMusic has a near twin in the lookalike 5610 XpressMusic. That is a bigger phone which takes a slider format and has a higher calibre set of specifications. It may yet get a separate review here. But right now my attention is fully on the 5310 XpressMusic.
With most mobiles making a stab at music playing, and some doing the job really well, to style a range as specifically about music seems a little bit like kicking other, sometimes pretty nifty, music playing mobiles in the teeth. To do so when some of the better music mobiles come from your own stable seems bizarre. With that in mind, I've generally formed a fairly ambivalent view of the XpressMusic range so far. Add to that the fact that the design of handsets in Nokia's XpressMusic range is a little, er, quirky at times, such as with the 5700 XpressMusic and I feel pretty justified in being nonplussed about the range.
Where the tri-band 5310 XpressMusic scores over its predecessors is not in being a better music player than any other mobile, or in having a superb set of features generally, but in being a really nice looking and well designed phone.
The black, slate grey and red livery of my sample handset is really striking, while the crimson coloured aluminium flashes down the left and right edges of the screen are very eye-catching. You could go for navy blue instead of crimson, but that is a much less flashy option and doesn't do the side bars justice in my view.
The left crimson edge houses music control buttons, which are marked out in sliver that dazzles against the red backing. This concept of a separate coloured panel for screenside mounted music buttons is one that runs through the XpressMusic range, but it has never been as neatly implemented as here, thanks to the metallic shine of the crimson flash, and to the fact that this is a thin mobile phone.

I want to thank Sandra for writing such a good article. I am thinking of buying this phone, and needed some info on it before i bought it. Very informative, and i like the picture examples. I have also read many other articles about this phone, and the author seems to stick to what i have been reading. Once again, I thank you. :-)
Hi Sandra, I was just wondering, which would you get if you were in my position? A Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic or a Sony Ericsson W350i. And why would you get which ever one you chose?
When i tried to record music from my PC to 5310, transfer stopped at around 300mb, and it shows so in memory, how can i use rest of card memory to transfer more music files?
hi i recently bought inspiron 1300 notebook when i connect my nokia 5310 in usb port i get error message that says noncompatable port. Ive used phone on other laptops and desktop with no problems, why now and whats the solution
This phone is the worst phone in the history of the universe, i would advise anyone to NOT by it as it never works, does not always allow you to read messages as it appears there are not messages in your inbox,sometimes i have waited over 3 hours for my messages to appear again, it crashes a lot, sometimes it appears to have reset, meaning the date and time has to be reset, this can often be during the night when i turn it off meaning my alrm does not go off, at times the alarm will just generally not go off atall. This is just generally a rubbish phone and within 3 months of having it id had to go get it fixed because it crashed permanently,making the screen go white. So to anyone out there wanting to buy this phone....dont waste you money or your time on this phone.

Five years of Blue Ridge BooksAnniversary celebration starts Friday
These days, when a couple makes it to five years, it's a real accomplishment. When a business makes it that long, it's a real surprise.
And when that business is a bookstore, it's really time to party.
Beginning this Friday, Blue Ridge Books is celebrating its fifth year in the community with three days of music, book signings and special deals. Like all business anniversaries, this one is mostly a light-hearted excuse to bring customers together, but owners Allison Best and Jo Gilley know it's also more than that. The multi-day jubilee is a testament to their business' ability to survive — even as the economy and publishing industry have taken an unprecedented nosedive. The magic of this isn't lost on the owners, who've had the place about two and a half years.
"I just feel real pleased that we still have a community that can support literature," Best said.
It says something about Waynesville, she added, that it has an independent bookstore, as many little towns don't any more. In a world taken over by e-books, online shopping and giant bookstore chains, it's easy to imagine Blue Ridge getting swallowed up. But it hasn't.
Gilley, like Best, knows there can only be one thing behind this. It's the community, of course. As she put it, five years of business "just means people like us."
"They really love to share what they've been reading, and they really love to hear what we as a staff like," she said, explaining the kind of exchanges she has daily.
An admitted "dinosaur" when it comes to technology, she doesn't know anything about e-readers or other so-called advances in the book industry. What she does know is how much people enjoy having a space where they can come together. More than just a store, Blue Ridge is a meeting place, which hosts a continuous calendar of events, from book signings to children's story times to themed parties. In the past, they've hosted literary get-togethers for fans of everything from Dr. Seuss to "Star Wars."
For Blue Ridge, and most small-town stores, it's a blurry line between business and community outreach. Gilley can see how much of a difference that makes to her customers.
"I just love it when people tell us how much they enjoy the bookstore," she said. "That makes my day, every day."
Count Maggie Valley author Kathryn Magendie as one of many keeping Gilley's days good. Magendie, who recently published the last novel in her "Graces" trilogy, has always been touched by the amount of support Blue Ridge has given her. In addition to carrying her books, the store has hosted numerous book signings for her and generally given her a place where she can connect with her readers.
"They're just so author-friendly. They love their authors," Magendie said. "I just adore our local bookstore."
And so, she's happy to help celebrate it. At 3 p.m. this Sunday, she'll be one of three authors reading from their newest books. Magendie will read from "Family Graces," while Kimberly Brock will offer insight into "The River Witch," and Erika Marks will discuss her novel, "Little Gale Gumbo." The trio will be flanked by downhome musical duo Grits and Soul.
This mix of authors and musicians makes sense to Magendie, who sees Blue Ridge's role as being much larger than a place to simply buy a cup of coffee or copy of The New York Times.
"I've always said bookstores are the backbone of the community," she said.
Local musician Chris Minick knows just what she's talking about. The Waynesville singer-songwriter has been a fixture at Blue Ridge for years, often playing in the store's listening room adjacent to its walls of books. There, for more than a year, Minick also hosted an open mic night, sponsored by the Haywood County Arts Council.
He explained that Blue Ridge is a "lot more" than a bookstore — and he loves that.
"It's just a hub of activity," he said, mentioning many of the various community events he's been to or been part of since Blue Ridge opened its doors.
This Saturday night, he'll do one more, when the Chris Minick Trio offers up some gentle tunes from 6:30 to 8 p.m. In addition to Minick's guitar, expect to hear Greg Kidd's bass and Lee Kram's drums. Anyone who's spent much time at the store has surely already heard all these guys before.
Blue Ridge is "a real comfortable space for people to gather in," Minick said.
That's the kind of glowing report that lets Best and Gilley know that the atmosphere they've created, and are continually creating, means something.
The point isn't just to sell books, Best stressed, but for Blue Ridge "to be what the community needs it to be."
Gilley agrees, explaining that their customers are really the ones who make the store what it is.
"I just want it to be somewhere that they look forward to going to," she said, before pausing to find the right words. "A place that makes people happy."
Blue Ridge Books is hosting its anniversary celebration this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 13 to 15. In honor of opening on Friday the 13th back in 2007, the store will be offering 13-percent off books. The Chris Minick Trio will perform at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Blue Ridge will host authors Kathryn Magendie, Kimberly Brock and Erika Marks, with music by Grits and Soul. For more info, call the store, located at 152 S. Main St. in Waynesville, at 456-6000 or visit www.blueridgebooksnc.com.

Supervisors cap spending on ceremonies
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Saying they want to ensure taxpayer funds are spent conservatively, Riverside County supervisors today approved limiting the amount of money that can be expended on groundbreakings and other ceremonies for county projects.
``We need some guidelines,'' Supervisor Jeff Stone said. ``We don't need to host big parties to tout our accomplishments.''
Stone and Supervisor John Tavaglione proposed a policy titled ``Celebrate Infrastructure Additions Uniformly,'' or CIAU, under which all expenditures for a groundbreaking, ribbon-cutting, grand opening or other county-sponsored function would be capped by formula.
Though he agreed to attach his name to CIAU, Tavaglione expressed qualms today, initially refusing to back the proposed policy because he felt it was too overbearing.
``Rather than put a limit on this, why not just leave it up to each board member (to decide what's appropriate)?'' he said, recommending that all requests for funds to pay for celebratory events be subject to a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors.
Tavaglione also took issue with Stone's suggested formula for determining where to draw the line on spending for project completion parties.
Stone said that in order to keep costs ``within reasonable parameters,'' the amount expended on a groundbreaking or other event should be held to 0.3 percent of the total project budget -- and never exceed $7,500.
A ribbon-cutting for a county facility that underwent $400,000 in renovations and upgrades, for instance, would be limited to a $1,200 budget.
Supervisors Marion Ashley and Kevin Jeffries lauded the proposed caps.
``Guidelines are critically important,'' Jeffries said. ``That way we know the rules of engagement in advance.''
He proposed capping groundbreaking expenditures at $2,000 or less.
``There should be controls over this,'' Ashley said. ``It's better to have a target out there.''
Tavaglione conceded that limits were a good thing, but stuck with his original call for a four-fifths vote on budget requests to cover the costs of ceremonies.
The board voted unanimously to impose the caps -- and require a four-fifths vote for any funding requests that exceed $7,500.

West Bengal civic poll results to be out today
The municipality polls will be the first major test for the Trinamool-Congress alliance after its victory in the 2011 Assembly polls.
New Delhi: The results of the West Bengal civic polls will be declared on Tuesday. An 86 per cent voter turnout was recorded in the crucial election to six municipalities across the state on Monday, the first major test for the Trinamool-Congress alliance after its landslide victory in the 2011 Assembly polls on the back of a huge anti-incumbency wave.
All 129 seats in the six civic bodies - Durgapur, Dhupguri, Haldia, Nalhati, Daspur and Coopers' Camp - witnessed triangular contests among the Congress, Trinamool Congress and the CPI(M)-led Left Front.
The seats were spread over five districts - Jalpaiguri, East Midnapore, Haldia, Birbhum and Bardhaman. Cooper's Camp in Nadia district recorded the highest 93.28 per cent polling.
Alliance partners, Trinamool and Congress, however, fought the civic elections independently, a reflection of their bitter rivalry. Congress and opposition CPI(M) alleged that the polls were far from free and fair and accused Trinamool activists of resorting to booth-capturing and rigging.
"We are disappointed the way polls were held. Agents were physically assaulted and removed from booths by TMC workers. There were widespread irregularities. We have lodged a complaint with the State Election Commission," West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee (WBPCC) President Pradip Bhattacharya said.
He alleged that the poll was marked by violence, booth-capturing, rigging and use of force against Congress and opposition political parties alike.
"Things have turned out to be the same as what prevailed in the Left regime. Only the colour of government has changed, not the governance," Bhattacharya said.
On the other hand, Left Front Chairman Biman Bose accused Trinamool workers of rigging and booth-capturing at Haldia, Durgapur and Dhupguri.
Bose demanded that the State Election Commission order re-poll in 29 booths of the Durgapur civic board area.
However, the SEC rejected the demand saying no written complaint had been received in this regard.
SEC Commissioner Meera Pandey said two persons - one at Haldia and the other at Durgapur - were detained for involvement in poll-related disturbances.
Bose demanded that the state government ensure adequate security to prevent post-poll violence in all six municipal areas.
He alleged that Left Front candidates in Haldia, Panskura and Durgapur municipalities were harassed by Trinamool workers.
The CPI(M) state secretary also alleged that the presence of "outsiders" in some wards of Haldia municipality hampered free and fair election.
Besides, CPI(M) leaders alleged sporadic rigging and ransacking of their camp offices by Trinamool polling agents. They claimed that their agents were forced to vacate booths at several places.
Rubbishing the allegations, Trinamool Congress leader and Transport Minister Madan Mitra claimed that the civic polls passed off peacefully in a free and fair manner.
"The Trinamool Congress is in the government because people want it," Mitra said claiming that the party would make a clean sweep in all six municipalities.
BJP has also put up candidates in all the six civic bodies.
The Left Front, which contested in most of the seats, hopes to cash in on the triangular fights in many seats.
In 2007, the Left Front had won in three of the six civic bodies. The Congress won two while the Congress-TMC alliance bagged one.
Of the six civic bodies, Nalhati has generated a keen interest among public because the Congress campaign was led by local legislator Abhijit Mukherjee, son of Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
The counting of votes would be held on June 5, the SEC commissioner said.
A report from Durgapur said the polls there were marked by stray incidents of violence and allegations of intimidation of Left Front cadres by Trinamool workers.
CPI(M) Burdwan district secretary Amal Halder alleged that party cadres were driven out by Trinamool workers in Wards 22, 21, 27, 14, 8 and 13 of Durgapur Municipal Corporation.
The Left Front has demanded fresh election in five booths of Ward 14. However, District Magistrate Omkar Singh Meena said the allegations were baseless and ruled out demands of repoll.
On the other hand, Trinamool leaders alleged that CPI(M) backed goons damaged their booth office at Wards 27 and 4.
Bombs were hurled to scare the voters in Ward 13, police said.
The Left Front has been in power at Durgapur Municipal Corporation since 1996 when it was upgraded to the status of a corporation from municipality.
Polls ended peacefully at Nalhati municipality where Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's son and local MLA Abhijit Mukherjee was the star campaigner.
Police said the sitting councillor of Ward 8 of Nalhati municipality and Samajwadi Party candidate Subrata Datta was arrested on Monday for his alleged involvement in a brawl the night before.

Hi again fellow geeks! (so soon)
I've just built my first PC from scratch (ish) with an ASUS P5QPL-AM motherboard, Intel Q8400, Crucial Ballistix 4gb kit and my old (but healthy) Maxtor HDD and PCI Audiophile2496 - graphics card on its way ;) The spec may be irrelevant for my problem but thought I'd declare it to see if anyone has any feelings on the choices I made! The build went swimmingly - my only struggle being jitters about how much pressure I could safely exert on the CPU and motherboard when installing my bad-ass Zalman heatsink!
So the problem is...I use my computer mainly to make music. But, since installing Windows 7 and switching the PC on for the first time, I have a bubbling, crackling noise coming from my left monitor speaker that begins to be heard as Windows 7 is loading up and gets worse when I scroll up and down program windows - it's then almost like a ZX spectrum loading, whirring sound. My audio travels: From Audiophile output into small Yamaha mixing desk, out to powered speakers. There is also a feed from the mixing desk's output back into the Audiophile input. I never experienced this sound using my old PC and this mixing desk. Thankfully, I can't hear the sound from my mixing desk's headphone output.
I am moderately learned about ground loops but have very limited electrical knowledge! The sound I am hearing is the exact same sound I hear through speakers when plugging a laptop into a mixing desk and then plugging in the laptop charger. Could this be a ground loop? A friend has judged it a ground loop and recommended removing the earth wire from a 6-way and then powering all my audio gear and PC with it. How safe do people consider this? I have heard differing opinions.
Please, please, please help if you can!
Thankyou :)

LIARS PERFORMANCES ARE typically acrobatic affairs.
On stage, towering frontman Angus Andrew gets physical — he writhes about, hurls himself from the top of amplifiers and tangles himself amid the microphone cords while guitarist Aaron Hemphill and drummer Julian Gross pound out scrappy and spooky post-punk.
But when Liars perform at 9:30 Club on Tuesday there's a good chance Andrew will be doing it from an armchair.
"It's an interesting way to do a show, I've never done it in the past," said the singer. "It certainly adds more drama."
It's hardly artistic sensibility that's keeping Andrew confined to a chair, though. A week prior to the band's three-and-a-half-week tour, Liars announced via their MySpace page that Andrew had thrown his back out while trying to pick up a pillow at his Los Angeles home.
"Getting up and sitting down is a bit of an ordeal for me," said Andrew. "It's made me a bit more like and old man — hunched over, drooling — it's a different window into our performance."
Maybe the wear and tear of cavorting around arena-sized stages has finally taken its toll. Liars recently completed a tour supporting well-attired New York mope-rock band Interpol, and that band's mega-dome-style billing allowed Liars a little more room to jump around than they've had in a while.
"It required more grandioseness," said Andrew. "But we are that — we are grandiose."
It's also possible that Andrew might have gotten a little too involved in trying to freak out Interpol's buttoned-up fans.
"We wanted to make sure that the crowd knew that we enjoyed making mistakes — to remind them that not all bands play the same way," said Andrew.
Whether this resulted in enjoyment or alienation isn't a huge concern to Liars.
"There are different definitions of connection," said Andrew. "I think we connected with people in a strong way — although it may have been distasteful. We shocked them out of their comfort zone. We maybe weren't what they expected. Hopefully we rocked some people's worlds in a way that opened their eyes. It wasn't hard to shock them — I mean, Interpol are so clean-cut."
According to Andrew, Liars' dedication to unpredictability and sonic creepiness is a reflection of our unpredictable and creepy world.
"It's a sign of the times, really. Since we've been a band we've been living in this culture of fear and paranoia that's pervasive in American society," explained the singer. "It's difficult to make music that escapes that — which is why our work is so uneasy and fractured. Right now a lot of people are making hippie music, and I find that difficult to swallow — it's not the '60s."
But however much he doesn't like it — for now at least — Andrew will have to take things sitting down.

Court: Police don't have to prove K-9 training
Police do not have to extensively document a drug-sniffing dog's reliability in the field to uphold its work in court
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court says police do not have to extensively document a drug-sniffing dog's reliability in the field to uphold its work in court.
The high court in a unanimous decision Tuesday overturned the Florida Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Aldo, a drug-sniffing police dog.
That lower court threw out drug evidence obtained against Clayton Harris during a 2006 traffic stop. Aldo alerted his officer to drugs used to make methamphetamine inside a truck. But two months later, Harris was stopped again, Aldo again alerted his officer to the presence of drugs but none were found.
The Florida court said in every case police have to bring records, including a log of performance in the field, to establish the dog's reliability in court. The Supreme Court overturned that ruling.

Mine is basic like most of these but I will add dill weed and parsley for flavor. Give it a try.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Mine is basic like most of these but I will add dill weed and parsley for flavor. Give it a try.
bobbielinks, that is what I do too, varying the ingredients until I get the taste I want. Then use it for sandwiches or on a lettuce leaf. Have also stuffed it in tomatoes after hollowing out the tomato and it is good there as well.
I make it with tuna packed in water, a little mustard, boiled eggs (usually 2), onion, dill relish(we dont like sweet relish), and salad dressing (instead of real mayo). Hope this helps
Ditto to all above, but try adding a little yellow mustard and diced apple for a different taste. Yum!
I use StarKist chunk white in water, add mayo, salt, pepper, dill weed (it really cuts the fishy taste of the tuna, which I don't like and Pampered Chef has a dill/garlic spice that is perfect), pickle relish, chives or onion, and capers if I have them to add a salty twist.
Chop a tomato and remove the seeds. Chop cucumber. Add corn niblets and spring onion. Add drained tuna. Wet it with whatever you like. (I like mayo.)
Fortune favours the prepared mind
"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." Albert Einstein
I use tuna packed in olive oil, chopped boiled eggs, celery, chopped very fine, a little minced onion, relish and mayo. If stored in frig and gets watery, add instant potato flakes. A little change of pace is a dab of dry mustard. This is also good with chopped chicken instead of tuna.
I also have added chopped apple to my tuna salad. Along with the celery, and pickle relish and mayo.sometimes boiled eggs.
2 cans Tuna ( drained if needed ),sweet pickle relish or chopped pickles , 2 boiled eggs, 1 stalk celery finely chopped, stuffed pimento olives, chopped fine, sprinkle all season salt (to your liking ) amounts really depend on what you like . I use mayonaise and mix all this together.

News that Ian Schrager's Clift Hotel in San Francisco has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection has led to mutterings about the death of the 'design hotel'.
Nota Bene, the notoriously picky guidebook series for well-heeled travellers, proclaimed in its most recent issue that design hotels have become a 'cliché' and that hotels such as Schrager's Sanderson in London are 'past their sell-by date'.
Harsh words, but in the fickle world of high fashion the more cutting-edge the design, the quicker it dates.
I visited Schrager's refurbished Art Deco Delano hotel in Miami soon after it first opened in 1995 and felt like Alice stumbling through the looking glass as I walked through a magical stage set of towering pillars, long white drapes and huge velvet thrones. I'd never seen anything quite like it before.
But just as high-street shops such as Top Shop are quick to produce their own imitations of the catwalk collections (at a fraction of the price), so the big hotel chains have jumped on board the 'design' bandwagon.
Matt Turner, editor of hotel design magazine Sleeper, says the term 'design hotel' will soon be obsolete. 'Even the big groups like Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza are offering a high standard of contemporary design now. It's becoming the norm,' he says.
And there's the rub... when even Holiday Inn can pull off the 'designer look', it's time for the haute couture hoteliers to go back to the drawing board.
Otherwise, there's a danger that limestone floors and Phillipe Starck washbasins will become the twenty-first century equivalent of the beige carpet and Corby trouser press.
How to cull your own tourist industry
I was in Iceland in May and the undoubted highlight of the holiday was a whale-watching trip from the port of Husavik. There were several nationalities on board our small boat as it lurched onto the Arctic Ocean, all jealously staking out their territory on the deck but as soon as a whale was spotted - 'Minke at 11 o'clock!' - we all piled on to the same side of the boat, united in our excitement, squealing like children.
Later that same week I bumped into an elderly English couple who had travelled to Iceland's remote Snaefellsnes peninsula for one thing only - a sighting of the elusive blue whale.
The Icelandic government is planning to allow the slaughter of around 250 whales over the next two years in an effort to research the potential impact on fishing stocks. It claims this number is no threat to the local whale population, but the damage to Iceland's international reputation is harder to quantify.
According to operators selling trips to Iceland, interest has waned since resumption of whaling was announced. The country makes more revenue from whale-watching trips than it would make if it resumed commercial whaling.
The words 'killing', 'goose' and 'golden egg' spring to mind.

We had a perfect stay at Tiagos Apartment "Wasabi Yellow". The Location is perfect, were central and easy to find. You can walk to almost everything, even if Lisbon is very hilly.
The Apartment is very nice, comfortabel, modern and clean. And we had everything we needed. The communication and check-in/check-out was very easy and uncomplicated.
Because of the Location in the old town, parking isn't that easy...
I would recommend the apartment at any time and would love to stay again there!
All right. Very good ubiación, all by hand. Recommended.

Date of Stay: April, 2013
Decent enough park for a couple nights. We came here to do a Turquoise Dig at the Otteson mine and the selection of RV parks in Tonopah is very limited. No reservations are accepted, but we arrived early and didn't have a problem. Tonight, however, the park is full. The RV park is located behind the Tonopah Station Hotel/Casino there is W/E/S; WiFi is from the hotel, no cable, and no TV reception here so unless you travel with your Direct or Dish you may miss your favorite TV show! ha! Restrooms and showers really need a thorough cleaning - not acceptable in our opinion. Try the Mizpah hotel cafe, it is good.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
We are heading home after spending the winter in the Southwest. We saw this park driving into town and decided to try it. Previous we had stayed at other parks in Beatty on the way home. We were greeted warmly and getting into our pull through spot was a piece of cake. This park offers W/E/S/C and Wi-Fii plus, since the hotel is owned by the same company, when you stay at the RV park you can use the hotel pool/spa. The restrooms are large and super clean as is the laundry room. Yes, it is gravel which may be a problem if it rains but we will stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
Stayed here a week and don't think we would come back. Restrooms were in horrible shape; broken door latches, old shower curtains, and certainly not clean. Laundry room is old and tired. Actually most of the park is old and tired. There are nicer parts but seem to be full timers with park models. I think the big draw for this place is the $370.00 - $470.00 monthly winter rate for snowbirders. The pads on the lake have no sewer, and you can pay for a pump out (monthly rates get 2 pumps a week at no charge). The electrical at our site didn't have full amperage, and we didn't want to use our microwave for fear of burning it out. I guess certain parts of the park have this issue. Our pad did not have a cement patio, just sand/dirt. So if you're looking for a cheap place to stay for a couple months on the lake this is it, but remember you get what you pay for.

The Sooke Teachers Association is calling it a "disturbing" incident.
President Ian Johnson says someone left dog feces at a Colwood elementary school picket line earlier this week, and garbage strewn over the parking lot last night.
"This is somebody who clearly has some kind of grudge and doesn't know how to express themselves very well, it's harassing, and it's harassment. They are attempting to harass the picketers by strewing feces and human hygiene products across the parking lot."
However Corporal Darren Lagan with the Vancouver Island RCMP says the investigation into the incident is now closed.
"The investigating officer found nothing to suggest this was in any way targeted or directed at the teachers themselves, or the people at the school."
Johnson says it's a tense time, as he's also fielded threatening phone calls related to the teachers strike.

Companies need to be aware of the hidden costs associated with arming employees with mobile gadgets in an attempt to make them more productive, analysts have warned.
Although the initial price of the latest tablet computers is not prohibitive, the ongoing cost of managing an entire fleet of mobile devices can mount quickly.
Andy Rowsell-Jones, a research director with technology advisory company Gartner, said organisations that provide gadgets to staff typically find that they have to upgrade wireless infrastructure in the office, buy mobile device management software to comply with security policies and insure gadgets against loss or accidents.
They must also stump up for data usage that, as they've already found out with smartphones, can rise sharply when these devices are used overseas.
Gartner has estimated that it can cost almost $1300 to connect a mobile device to the corporate network and organisations that fail to plan properly can be forced to increase the capacity of Wi-Fi networks by up to 300 per cent.
"At a time when budgets are constrained and other priorities are dominating, information technology departments are being forced to do something about mobile," Mr Rowsell-Jones said.
"The sensible ones charge them back to the business units, but fur is going to fly because those business units don't know how much these things can cost to support."
The cost issue is likely to come to a head when heads of departments take a closer look at annual expenses while preparing budgets before the start of each financial year.
"It will be interesting to see how they view these devices once they realise they are not free," he said. "That's a time bomb."
A rising number of organisations have provided board members, executive teams and certain departments such as sales or marketing with tablets since the launch of Apple's iPad in 2010.
Foad Fadaghi, a research director with local technology analyst company Telsyte, estimated that tablet sales in Australia would reach more than 1.2 million this year, of which a third would be sold through companies that supply directly to business. However, he pointed out that corporate use was even higher than that, because some organisations buy from high-street retailers.
Mr Fadaghi said it was important for companies to run trials before taking the plunge and making gadgets widely available to staff.
"There are a range of hidden costs but there are also productivity benefits, because you can work and collaborate from anywhere," Mr Fadaghi said.
"Forward-thinking organisations will do some planning before they make the jump."
There are more hidden costs on the horizon because the tablet market is still developing and the latest models can quickly become outdated. Where an organisation might expect staff to keep the same laptop for three to five years, the same employees are likely to start clamouring for a new tablet in less than two years.
"[Tablets] are used predominantly for private use and that creates a great sense of personal ownership," Mr Rowsell-Jones said.
"That impacts on budgets because these are devices of desire. The iPad is not sold as technology. It's a fashion accessory."

Retrofit OLD Lenox furnace?
I have a vintage Lenox (1930's) furnace that that needs work. Current problem is the safety relay won't stay latched. I replaced the thermocouple, hoping for a simple fix. I think the vibration of fan starting and stopping causes the relay to drop out. This is an old system where the safety relay only cuts current to the main gas valve if the pilot goes out. Should I replace just the relay (and where can I find one) or should I retrofit with a modern gas control valve? Background: fire box - fine, limit/blower switch - fine, blower - fine, would like to use a modern thermostat and there is easy acces to all in place wires and pipes. I have no qualms about working with gas or electric systems, just don't know about the variables or problems in retrofitting.
Hi fbudworth
If you lived in my area, I have got about 3 of those antique pilot safetys I would love to get off my shelf. I have not sold one of these things for 10 years. And in my community they have gotten utility concient. We are not duing any work on anything under 80 percent. Good for us and the environment. What we would do in your case if you wanted to repair is to remove all the old gas train and bring it up to date with a redundant gas valve. Let me know if you need more assistance.
Good luck
Sounds like the safe thing to do. Thanks, Frank
