With the U-M women's lacrosse program's first recruiting class in the books, all 28 members will now be featured in their own student-athlete spotlight, breaking down each future Wolverine, on and off the field.
Kelly Schlansker is a three-time varsity letterwinner (2010, '11, '12) and will play her final season Niskayuna High School (Niskayuna, N.Y.) this spring. She has tallied 77 goals and 55 assists and helped the Silver Warriors register a 45-12 record over the last three seasons.
As a junior, she tallied 31 goals and 17 assists, helping her team finish with a 12-5 record. Following the season she earned All-State second team honors and was selected to play in the U.S. Lacrosse National Tournament with the Upstate Adirondack Team.
During her sophomore campaign, her 25 goals and 20 assists helped lead Niskayuna to a 17-3 record, en route to its second straight Suburban Council Section II and New York State regional titles. She was named an All-State honorable mention selection for her efforts.
As the only freshman on varsity in 2010, she recorded 21 goals and 18 assists to help lead her team to a 16-4 overall mark.
The left-handed attacker also plays club lacrosse for the Albany Elite Lacrosse Club, where she helped lead her team to tournament victories at Baldwinsville (N.Y.) and Harvard.
Collegiate lacrosse runs in the Schlansker family, as her brother, Brian, plays lacrosse at Bryant University.
"Kelly is an extremely versatile attacker and a threat on multiple levels. A lefty, who is adept at going both left and right, Kelly is just as dangerous working around the crease as she is up top. Through her quickness and agility, she is able to thread needle-like passes to set up her teammates with the same proficiency and ease that she is able to dodge and eliminate defenders to create a driving lane to the cage and find the back of the net. Kelly's strengths stem from her excellent field vision. Her overall game sense will be very valuable to Team One."
|Kelly Schlansker

I'm looking at the package-naming and they don't follow the kernel module package naming conventions at fedora.us or livna use to ease some of the upgrade problems associated with stand-alone kernel modules. I'm not qualified to comment as to whether or not the package in development are going to have problems upgrading cleanly or not.. but I don't think i've seen a discussion about the approach these packages are taking constrasted to what the addon repositories have been doing. I think we would all benefit if there was a discussion about a consistent way to handle kernel-module packages inside and outside Core. I refer to the fedora.us package naming guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageNamingGuidelines section C-5 but other 3rd party use similar naming schemes to deal with the stand-alone kernel module issue Are the standalone kernel module packages in development parallel installable? Is yum and up2date as configured in the development tree prepared to treat these packages as parallel installable? If the FC packager has found a way to solve the problems the fedora.us naming scheme tries to address, i think everyone would benifit by seeing a discussion of the merits in the -devel-list sooner rather than later, so we can have a consistent way to deal with kernel-module packaging moving forward. -jef

We're working on pizza – last night was a good start. Inspired by Jen @ Mommy's Soap Box, I made a sourdough pizza crust. I used about 1/3 of a batch of my spelt sourdough dough for each crust.
Roll out on pizza stone, to overshoot the edges. Roll up the edges. Prick all over with a fork. Pre-bake in a 475 degree pre-heated oven for 5 minutes. Pull out and set aside.
Then I got a little (too?) creative. I decided to make a chili pizza. For the sauce, I took the thick leftover black bean chili from the night before, pureed it in the Vita-Mix, and spread it all over the crust. Then I spread cooked chicken chunks all over that, and then topped that with homemade goat cheddar cheese. The pizza went in the oven for about 10 minutes at 475 degrees (pre-heated).
The good: The crust didn't get soggy (we hate that). The crust was a good combination of chewy and crispy. The crust was very good!
The bad: My cheddar cheese didn't melt and was a little on the salty side. I undersalted everything else to account for this, which worked out okay. The whole pizza was a bit dry. More sauce? (Maybe.) More stuff? (Definitely!) I should have opened a can of olives, at least.
It was a good start. I'll keep working on it. I have another crust in the freezer to try again next week.
What are your favorite pizza toppings? What's your favorite way to make pizza? Got any horror stories?

Imagine taking a helicopter to remote jungle-covered temples, watching the sun set over the Mekong River from a graceful colonial building, or being enchanted by the elegant movements of an Apsara dancer. Cambodia's rich culture and intriguing history are best experienced in style on one of our Cambodia luxury tours, and our unique touches and insider knowledge create an unforgettable visit to the Kingdom.
Cambodia treats visitors to a wealth of 'off the beaten path' locations that unveil the ancient qualities of this rugged country. Emerging as one of Asia's more compelling capitals, Phnom Penh has transformed itself to gracefully blend a riverfront location with remaining colonial structures and a deeply fascinating history. However Siem Reap remains the most visited destination and is home to picturesque streets full of boutique shops, busy markets and an immense range of eateries to suit all budgets, and of course, the stunning Angkor Wat complex. The coastline of Southern Cambodia is noted for its quiet, tranquil atmosphere and pristine beaches that are still largely undeveloped or overcrowded. In addition to the coastline's unspoiled beaches and idyllic offshore islands, the area is also home to lush tropical forests and attractive towns such as Kep and Kampot.
The winter months (October-February), are the best time to travel to Cambodia as the air is cool and the skies clear. However, the dust at this time of year can be irritating and the crowds at the Angkor temples at their highest numbers. March to May sees hotter temperatures and dry skies, and the heat continues into June and through August when the monsoon season starts. The rains however do not usually cause a major problem for travelers as they tend to be short and hard afternoon showers.
MONEY : The official currency is the Cambodian Riel (pronounced 'real'), although US Dollars are accepted everywhere. ATMs distributing US Dollars are found in the main cities and moneychangers throughout the country. As of Aug 12: 1USD = 4,000 Riel
VISAS : Visa on Arrival service is available for most nationalities on international flights arriving in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, as well as most land crossings with Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.
ELECTRICITY : Cambodia uses 220V, and a mixture of flat 2-pin, round 2-pin or 3-pin plugs. It is recommended to bring a universal plug adaptor. Power outages are quite common but most hotels have their own generator.
GETTING THERE & AWAY : Cambodia celebrates a mix of Buddhist,Chinese and international holidays as well as national events.The main festival periods are Khmer New Year (mid-April),Pchum Ben and the Ploughing Ceremony (mid-September) and Boun Om Touk boat racing (Water festival) (early November).Many restaurants and businesses close during these periods,however tourist attractions are still open and there is very little disruption to travel plans.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS : Cambodia celebrates a mix of Buddhist,Chinese and international holidays as well as national events.The main festival periods are Khmer New Year (mid-April),Pchum Ben and the Ploughing Ceremony (mid-September) and Boun Om Touk boat racing (Water festival) (early November).Many restaurants and businesses close during these periods,however tourist attractions are still open and there is very little disruption to travel plans.
LANGUAGE : Cambodia's national language is Khmer and unlike the other languages of the region is not a tonal language. As in other former French colonies the educated older generation often speaks very good French while the younger generation prefers English. Outside the major centers of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap most people speak only Khmer, but you will always find somebody who speaks English wherever you go.

Terrific! Tronex tools.May 19, 2010
I just recently received my new Tronex Flush Cutters. It's wonderful. I have several more Tronex tools and have never worked with any tools more comfortable and efficient than these are. Might cost a bit more, but they are worth every cent.

Arriving in Tolmin slightly before 7, I found a helpful person working at a cafe to look after my bag for a few hours while I took a little walk to the Tolminska chutes, the "jewel of Triglav" according to the tourist office people. This might well be the case. Unfortunately, due to a landslide a few years ago, it's not possible to see them from the trails anymore. Still, it was quite a pleasant walk, and the gorge into which the chutes descend are undeniably pretty. Nearby, the Medvodova Glava (Bear's Head), a rock oddly wedged in another gorge was curious and also worth a view. The other features in the area, Dante's cave (supposedly his inspiration for his visions of hell in the Divine Comedy, though I couldn't tell as I didn't have a torch or spelunking equipment) and the disappointingly not-very-evil Hudicev Most (Devil's Bridge), weren't quite so worth the walk.
After standing around talking with the girl working in the tourist info booth (who kindly waved the fees for the fact that I walked the local way to get there (apparently) and was there stupidly early), I made it back to Tolmin with 10 minutes to spare before my onwards bus.

President Obama nominated Sharon Block, Richard Griffin and Terence Flynn to the NLRB in 2011. The nominations had been pending for some time before President Obama invoked the recess appointments clause to appoint them to the NLRB on January 4, 2012, three days after the Senate's last session. At the time of their appointments, the Senate was in a series of pro forma sessions with "no business transacted" every Tuesday through Friday from December 17, 2011, through January 20, 2012 (although the Senate enacted legislation during the pro forma sessions). The Court interpreted the recess appointments clause "as granting the President the power to make appointments during a recess but not offering the President the authority to routinely avoid the need for Senate confirmation." The Court held that the recess appointments clause applies to both inter-session recess ("i.e., a break between formal sessions of Congress"), as well as to intrasession recess in the middle of a congressional session. The Court also held that the "scope of the words 'vacancies that may happen'" in the recess appointments clause applies to vacancies that arise during the recess and those that occurred before the recess that continue to exist during the recess. Justice Breyer, writing for the majority, found that "three days is too short a time to bring a recess within the scope of the Clause." In New Process Steel v. National Labor Relations Board, 560 U.S. 674 (2010), the Supreme Court held that the NLRB did not have the power to act without a quorum of three members. Given this, the hundreds of decisions the NLRB issued during the recess appointments of Block, Griffin and Flynn are likely invalid. The Court's decision sheds little light on how the NLRB should proceed with the cases issued and rules promulgated during the recess appointments. NLRB Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce issued a statement that the NLRB is "analyzing the impact that the Court's decision has on Board cases in which the January 2012 recess appointees participated." The NLRB may take the same approach that it did following the 2010 New Process Steel decision. Following that decision, the federal courts and individual parties returned about one-fifth of the cases issued when the NLRB lacked a proper quorum (from January 2008 to March 2010) to the NLRB for new decisions. The NLRB closed the remainder of the cases "with no review required." The NLRB currently has five members appointed with Senate confirmation. The decision is unlikely to change the NLRB's agenda.

Call Before 10am for 'Same Day' Repairs & Maintenance! *
Hassle-free and exceptional quality service
The electric security fence is part of the first line of protection to your premises. At Gido we offer high quality electric fencing at affordable prices. With more than 6000 clients on our database, Gido is arguably the biggest installer of electrified fencing in Gauteng. We install security fencing for:
- Domestic: Residential Homes
- Estates: Townhouses, Clusters and Estates.
- Commercial: Commerce, Industrial, Mines, etc.
- Country: Plots, Farms, Game Reserves, etc.
Established in 2001, Gido designs and maintains security fences from basic to the most sophisticated applications. Full installation specifications are part and parcel of each and every installation.
What we don't do, is cheap and ineffective fencing, there are enough "fly-by-nighters" doing that already. We do quality installations at a guaranteed unbeatable price. Therefore, Gido's entry level fence recommendation is an 8 strand square tubing bracket system. The reason is simple, the bracket chosen must provide an effective physical barrier, not a token fence that can just be climbed over and / or bent down. (At Gido, we cannot keep up with the replacement of flat and round bar fences.)
All our staff undergo rigorous in-house training at our training centre in Selby, Johannesburg. In addition, Gido staff regularly undergo polygraph testing to comply with various embassy and national key institution requirements.
Gido is fully registered and accredited in compliance with legislation as per Government Gazette No. 34154, published the 25 March 2011.
We cover the whole of Gauteng

ripped off
hi guys...I was wondering if anyone knows what to do about a garage who totaly ripped me off. I am not a transmission guy, in fact i hate messing with any part of it, so i opted to pay a transmission place to put new lines and gasket in my tranny. They gave me a pretty good price on the lines and average price on the gaket work. When I picked it up the place had charged me more money than negotiated for the lines...they also overcharged me on the gasket work. I initially was pissed about this but payed it anyways,(i was in a hurry, and the attendent told me the owner was gone for the day). Before i left one of the mechs told me how it was perfect and didnt "leak at all!" When i got home i crawled under the tranny...@#$%transmission fluid everywhere! They hadnt even installed agasket! They just used silicone! The next day(sunday) I took off the pan, bought a good gasket, and put new fluid in myself,(i really hate tranny work), it didnt leak a drop. i called the owner on monday and told him id like some of my $$ back beacause of the crappy job, he told me i shouldve brought it back and he wouldve fixed it, but it is very far to drive there, and my oil pressure is not so good in the car. I also explained how they overcharged me on the lines. He basically told me to go !@##$ myself and hung up on me. I called BBB, they told me there were a couple complaints listed which were ignored, an attorney wouldnt be worth it....but i want to do something!! does anybody know anything about dealing wih garages that rip you off?
I would have been making that drive right after he hung up.
Take the receipt for the parts you installed.
ripped off
Fill a bottle with Gas, put a piece of rag down the neck, go see the guy and hold it in your hand while talking.
Now on a serious note. I would contact your department of state. If you cant find their phone #, go to any repair shop in you state and it should be posted on the wall. It is a law here in Michigan. plus we can only go over our estimate by 10% without authorization.
squeaky wheels get greased. in a private shop you hvae very little recourse. with a corporate you can always go to a higher up/corporate office(i did that to a jiffy lube once and the guy eventually lost his jiffy lube lease). I would call the owner back, and give him another shot at refunding you. Then maybe go down there when they open and picket. just you and a sign (stay on the sidewalk) try and discourage people from using them, if he sees any customers go away, maybe he'll make you an offer to shut up.
I understand why you made the repair, but at this point you have made it worse for yourself , because now you have to separate your work from his. Did you get a qute on the price on paper? if not maybe have your girlfriend/wife/friend call up or go in and try to get a similar quote, then you can call the owner and use the quote against him...
may just wanna chalk it up to a lesson learned and do a little more research next time..
You would have had better luck...
if you had taken the car to a certified mechanic with your receipt for the work that you already paid to be done and he did the work to correct heir mistakes and verified what was and what was not done correctly. Then you might go to a Lawyer or to the owner of the trans shop with your info and get him to make it right. Right know its your word against whoever did your trans as to what was done or not done. It is always best to get and estimate in writing and then you can make them stay near their estimated cost for the repair. I wonder if you could get a local TV news team to look into their practices??
Nothing you can really do. This happends too often. Chalk it up to memory and post around on sites like this how bad a job that shop did, notify as many people as you can and try and run them out of buisness.
If you paid by cheque,you should have stopped payment right away,if you paid by credit card,contact the credit card company and they will look after it for you,visa is VERY good for this kind of thing.
Or take him to small claims court,it costs nothing,you don't need a lawyer,and if he knows he's in the wrong,he won't show up and you win the judgment by default,if he does show,it's all up to the judge,but at leasy you have inconvenienced him and have a shot at winning.
Or I could call my cousin Vinny.
a bit of plastic explosives would do a cleaner job, and from a distance too,, damn crooks anyhow,,,,
If all else fails:
1. Find where he parks his car when he's at work.
2. Sneak up on it and spill a quart or two of used ATF under its trans, splattering some around on the bottom of the trans just to make it look good.
3. Hide and watch at quitting time & see if he takes it apart or not.
Go back and have a face to face with him about it.
sorry to say if you know how to do it & can .then do it .
the only thing that I can say that hasn't been said is write a review in the HR .com Company reviews & tell your story
tell your story to ant one & everyone who will listen.
The Co reviews are right at the top of your screen.
good luck

I Agree..
This is why I always do my own work. I'm so sick of shops. I have two stories, I'll try to be as brief as possible:
about 5 years ago I took my ramcharger in to a local shop to have the door shimmed on it after I did body work and had it painted. A week went by and no call, so I called them, they said they needed more time. another week went by and they said they weren't sure about it when I called them (keep in mind, they have never even called me about it up to this point). I called them after another week (a total of 3 weeks after I dropped it off) and the guy tells me the owner wont work on it and he wants me to pick it up and where have I been!? he asks me. I get down there and the truck wont start, all my stereo equipment has been stolen out of it and no work has been done to it at all. When I told the owner I was upset, he offered to fight me.
A week ago I sold my jeep. Two days before I had to hand over the title, the jeep was leaking oil. I noticed its from a bad O-ring behind the oil filter in the adapter. I had a shop do the work because of the time constraint. Took it to a shop and they said it would be an easy repair. I get a call later that they say they want to do 800 dollars worth of work to it and that the oil pan is bad. I surprise them with a visit (got out of work for this) and say "show me." THe guy (and I am not ****ting you here) points to an area of missing paint on the bottom of the oil pan where some light surface rust had formed. "Oil's coming out of here." he says, even though it was bone dry and the o ring above was absolutely slathering the right side of the motor with oil. I told him no, dont touch the pan, we're only doing the o-ring today. He starts getting pissed (this is where I notice there are no other cars to be worked on in the parking lot and my jeep, which hasn't been worked on yet, is still sitting in the bay at 1pm which tells me these guys have less than **** to do today and are trying to drum up some BS business). He started trying to tell me that if he couldnt' do the pan he didn't want to work on it. I told him its the o ring or nothing. Then he starts telling me "that's going to be a 2-300 dollar repair right there, too! I tell him, that's funny, the guy at the front desk said he did one himself last week and its a 60 dollar job." He was at a loss for words at that point.
I picked the truck up later and they tell me they had to change the oil on it. I got it home and the oil was the same oil that was in it when I took it in. Lying bastards.
If I had had the time and lived in the same city, I would have taken the first guy to small claims. THe second shop is a place that my old work used to take their cars to. I'll put a good word in for them to stop! ha ha

A new study of more than 440 technology entrepreneurs reveals that wealth does not necessarily bring happiness. According to research published in the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Venturing, long-term employment growth in a new technology-based company correlates with the founder's satisfaction with their rising income, but is negatively related to their overall happiness.
Arndt Lautenschlaeger of the University of Applied Sciences Jena in Germany analysed data on 441 entrepreneurs in several fields of high-technology as well as technology-based services. The aim being to empirically analyses the relationship between personal happiness and employment growth in new technology-based firms. Personal happiness is measured by the company founder's satisfaction with life, work, financial situation, and leisure time.
The founder of a business might speak of success in terms of achieving company goals, although these can vary wildly between individuals and companies. Some founders equate success with profits and their becoming rich, while others value self-fulfilment and being their own boss more. From the perspective of the company itself, success can be defined more objectively based on sales, efficiency and profits. Lautenschlaeger suggests that it is unfortunate that personal indicators are all but ignored in economic studies of high-tech start-ups, where development and growth are often considered the only relevant factors.
"I found that in an early firm stage performance and individual satisfaction go hand in hand with a few exceptions," Lautenschlaeger says, but satisfaction with life correlates negatively in the long run with company growth despite rising income. He points out that to some extent this counteracts the aspirations of promoting start-up firms as a panacea for fighting unemployment and the generation of wealth. He adds that, his findings challenge the traditional view that company growth parallels personal success of the founder.
The study has important implications for individual entrepreneurs but for the ongoing success of countless high-tech start-up companies. Founder exit from a business is often neglected in corporate discussions, but it might be necessary to address the issue of how the boss feels as a company grows and so help the management team avoid the potential for company failure in the long term if founders are allowed to continue in their role despite growing personal dissatisfaction.

AusCERT Week in Review for 27th April 2012
Date: 27 April 2012
Original URL: https://www.auscert.org.au/render.html?cid=7066&it=15770
Life is like a warm muffin. It's full of promise, but is an uncertain quantity until you dive in.
An AusCERT conference is a similar experience. For example, while we know that Mikko Hypponen, Paul Vixie and Eugene Kaspersky, to name a few of the infosec luminaries, will be presenting at AusCERT 2012, you won't know how good they are unless you attend! Just two weeks to go!
This week saw WordPress release their latest revision fixing about half a dozen vulnerabilities. Given that compromised WordPress instances have been used to infect Macs with Flashback malware, patching it should be a priority.
Vulnerabilities have also been patched in Asterisk, and OpenSSL has also been receiving some healing attention.
Of significant note are Mozilla's new releases of Firefox 12, Thunderbird 12 and SeaMonkey 2.9 which has attended to 14 security related bugs. With this the 3.6.x branch has passed beyond the veil into the land where life has ended.
Hope you live it up this weekend! Marco

1999 Passat V6 Sedan
I am having a problem with the driver's seat locking mechanism. It looks like the part that 'locks' into the various holes when you pull up on the lever under the front of the seat is stuck and needs to be cleaned and lubricated.
How does this mechanism actual work though. That is what happens when I pull up on the lever and move the seat backward or forward? I tried to see what the passenger side seat did, but not a lot of space to see what is going on.

dogs alergic to dog food
I recently found out my gsd puppy has food allergys. Iv been feeding him " blue buffalo large breed chicken and brown rice". Just wondering if anyones else's dog has food allergys and what has worked for their dog. I know ever dog is different but I em just asking for a little help.
My girl has numerous food sensitivities. See my thread:
I feed raw so it wasn't too hard to make adjustments. I did look into going back to kibble. That was a much more daunting task. You have to become a very close label reader of not only food but treats as well.
If you could post what foods your GSD can't have you will likely get a lot of help here.
I know it might seem like an impossible task finding the right food, it's not. Not going to lie it will take time and a lot of research but well worth it in the end. Once the allergen's are gone from the diet your GSD will be much happier and feel so much better. :)

The secret that makes the latest crays a hit
Page Tools
Simon Peters sorts his catch of the day.
Photo: David Mariuz
In Kingston, a fishing village in South Australia's south-east near some of the finest rock lobster grounds in the world, the best-kept secret at this time of the year - next to the eternal quest for the perfect spot to leave the cray pots - is a good recipe for crayfish dip.
Where luxury seafood is practically a staple, innovation is needed to inject a festive note into the presentation of the prized rock lobsters for which Asian diners spend $US100 ($A130) for a single serve.
Commercial fishing for crays is competitive, intense and closely regulated. Simon Peters, who heads the Kingston Fishermen's Association, cannot just take home a cray for the family without selling it first to a buyer then buying it back.
This all makes the competition for the best Christmas crayfish dip in Kingston all the more intense.
"It's secret squirrel stuff," laughs Tiarni Peters, whose husband, Simon, in the lead-up to Christmas, left home at 3am most days for 14 hours at sea.
"I had to make a crayfish dip for Christmas, and no one would part with the recipe. They just won't tell you."
Having begged a close friend for help in the middle of last week, crayfish dip led off a country Christmas meal that was a seamless adaptation of the old and new; crayfish kebabs next to roast pork and crackling, and turkey and ham to make sure none of the Peters' extended family went hungry.
The family loves life in a town so peaceful and safe that back doors are left open, and cars unlocked.
Simon, 36, from a Kingston fishing family that includes his father and brother, tried life at a naval academy where he studied science but came back to Kingston in his early 20s.
Tiarni, 30, also left Kingston to work in Adelaide but hated it and came back, partly, she says, because Simon was there.

You know what? I don't understand humans. At all. I really would like to, but I just can't figure it out. They make a big deal about putting all there things in big boxes (and not letting me play in them, I might add), and they spend all this time leaving me at home, and when they are home talk about "moving" and all the places they've seen. I won't deny, it's the boxes that are the hardest part. Mommy has a big stack in the bedroom and she won't let me play with them! Ugh, humans can be so frustrating.
And then, and then, and then they just take everything back out! We don't go anywhere, nothing happens, they just take it all out and put everything back, like they changed their minds. What was the point of any of it?
So I don't understand humans. Anybody to help me out here? I'm starting to think I'll never understand anything they do. None of it makes sense.
And by the way, they STILL won't let me play with the boxes.
Fish. The humans are having fish for dinner. I could smell that fish from all the way upstairs. Mmmm. It was just sitting there, waiting for me. I know, I know, I'm not supposed to take food from the people. But how dare they eat fish and not give me some!
I just wanted a little taste. Just a little tiny bit of fish. I'm a good girl. I don't get into fights like Isy does and I don't attack Mommy's ankles so much anymore. So don't I deserve just a little piece of fish? Just a little one?
Apparently not. The humans weren't about to give me any, so my plan was to go on a stake-out and get some for myself. Brilliant, wasn't it?
So while the fish was still in the oven, I slipped into the kitchen and looked around for the perfect hiding place. Somewhere they wouldn't see me, but where I could see them. So that as soon as they took the fish out and put it up on the counter I could steal some. It was the perfect plan. And I had the perfect hiding spot--right there behind the oven. There's a little space there, just wide enough to get into.
It was really good for a while. Until smoke starting coming out of the oven. That was the scary part. This thick smoke came out and it was everywhere and Grandma opened the front door and it was FREEZING outside. And Mommy came out of her room and she was coughing and apparently I wasn't as sneaky as I thought, because Grandma started shouting about me being back behind the stove and she threw some treats back there. I guess she wanted to lure me out.
But I'd never give up fish for a couple treats, even if they were seafood flavor, which is my third-favorite flavor, right after catnip and cream. I managed to pull them closer with my paw and eat them anyway.
Mommy's better at that kind of thing, though. She had the treat bucket, the little white one she just got and filled up. And she didn't just thrown them back towards me, she held a treat out so I had to go up to her.
Ooh, and it was a green one, the catnip flavor (Mommy doesn't let me have real catnip) and I can't resist something like that. Fish or treats, fish or treats?!
It was such a hard decision! But Mommy wanted me to come out and all that smoke was scary, so I had to go. She even gave me a few more when we went back up to her room--she shut the door so I can't get back down there.
But Grandma just called that dinner's ready, and I bet that fish is still down there. Sitting out on the counter while everybody gets their food, unguarded once they all sit down...the counter pretty high up but I've seen Isy make the jump. I bet I could.
Gotta go. My fish dinner awaits.

At our clinic in Boston we often hear families ask why they should go to a Fragile X clinic if they are happy with the care they are currently receiving from their local providers. The main reason is that our clinics specialize in all things Fragile X—we get you and your child. Everyone here—clinicians, genetic counselors, social workers, therapists, and all other members of the clinic—knows Fragile X syndrome (FXS).
Specialty Fragile X clinics are a relatively new thing. The Rush University and MIND clinics have been around for a long time, but new clinics are now joining the Fragile X Clinical and Research Consortium (FXCRC). Here are a few reasons why you should visit your local Fragile X clinic:
Although all clinics provide medical services and can be your primary care for Fragile X-related issues, the Fragile X clinic does NOT take the place of your primary care provider. Your primary care provider still needs to deal with the everyday things, including illnesses, vaccines, and routine health screenings.
Families ask when or how often they should visit a clinic. I recommend routine yearly or every other year visits. This allows the clinic to get to know you and your family better. We get to know what your child is usually like —when things are going well and when things aren't going so well. This helps us better assess an acute issue, which can be very difficult when first meeting a patient, or if we have not seen someone for an extended period of time.Another time to visit the clinic
Families with a new diagnosis of a Fragile X-associated Disorder (FXD) should also contact their local clinic. Seeing providers with expertise in FXDs can provide the information and support that families need when they receive a new diagnosis.
Many of the Fragile X clinics are based in children's hospitals and may not be able to see adults. However, some clinics will not be able to see adults with FXS because it is considered a "pediatric" disorder even though we know its impact is lifelong. It is important to keep in mind that clinics may not be able to refer you to other medical providers within their hospital, but they often have contacts with clinicians who can see adults with FXS. This also applies to individuals with FXTAS or FXPOI, or to those who are suspected to have FXTAS or FXPOI.
For example, in Boston, we have colleagues at other hospitals that we refer to when we get questions about managing or diagnosing FXTAS or FXPOI. Therefore, even if the clinic is in a children's hospital, it is always worthwhile contacting them to see if they can see adults with FXS or have clinicians they can refer to who know FXS and other FXDs.
We understand that it can be very difficult to travel to a clinic for a variety of reasons. Money can be an issue, as can simply traveling with your child. Clinics can provide letters of medical necessity to help with obtaining insurance approval for a visit.
If financial issues for traveling are an issue, assistance may be available through the Fly With Me Fund.
We understand that traveling with your child can be a challenge. If you have to take a plane, clinics may be able to provide you with a letter to help ease your way through the airport. If you can't attend a clinic yearly, talk to your providers about checking in by telephone or email on a yearly basis.
While clinic visits can be very stressful for all involved, they are opportunities to show improvements your child has made and to gather information about what is going on in the Fragile X world. Visiting a clinic is also an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your child's development.
The number of Fragile X clinics continues to grow. If your state doesn't have a Fragile X clinic, you can talk to your providers about possibly starting a clinic. They in turn can talk to members of the FXCRC about what is involved in starting and maintaining a Fragile X clinic.
Fragile X clinics have a lot to offer by way of evaluations and information, and all of the clinics are invested in FXDs and improving the lives of our patients and families. We look forward to seeing you at one of our clinics!

An avid fan of the 'Gyrotonic Expansion System", that is a rack-like contraption which stretches and strengthens the muscles-with the aim of making them longer and leaner, Madonna shells out 414 pounds for a course of three sessions which adds up to £20,000 a year, reports The Mirror.
Madonna also uses a number of anti-ageing creams and serums for her face and body. She regularly sleeps covered in a 500-pound-a-pot cream and wrapped in a plastic body suit to keep her skin youthful and moisturised. A couple of night"s of this beauty sleep a week adds up to 52,000 pounds a year.
Madonna personal nutritionist and chef travel with her here everywhere to prepare macrobiotic meals. The wages sum up to 45,000 pounds a year each while a bottle of Kabbalah water costs 6 pounds.

Short answer, yes true. Pig in a poke - stay away from it unless you simply wish to part it out.
A way to "go around it"? Yes, I suppose. It is called "title laundering" and of course, not ethical and bordering on/is criminal.
Most states provide for a de-titling mechanism by which a severely distressed vehicle is never to be returned to roadworthy status. Think clear title>salvage title>certificate of destruction title. Most states call it a "scrap title" or "junking certificate".
You did not state whether this was a CA certificate or some other state.
California issues a non-repairable title certificate. "A non-repairable vehicle is a vehicle, which has no resale value except as a source of parts or scrap metal. The vehicle cannot be titled or subsequently registered. Once a vehicle has been declared non-repairable, ownership of the vehicle may be transferred only twice on a non-repairable vehicle certificate."

This a house we had wanted to visit as soon as we saw it in our guide book (as well as a huge recommendation from Larry) and we were not to be disappointed, the home of Thomas Jefferson sits atop a mountain, well hill really, Monticello means little mountain in Italian. He did in fact travel extensively and spent 5 years in France as the American ambassador. His father, a surveyor, owned the land and Thomas as a boy would play up on the hill, dreaming that one day he would build a house there. In order to build he had to reshape the hilltop, smoothing its summit and laying an ingenious set of circular roads following the contours so that goods and later guests could make their way up the slope easily. His plans for the house evolved over forty years into the building that we saw; the visitors' centre had brilliant exhibitions on all aspects of his life, with many of his personal items on display. Jefferson used Monticello as his personal laboratory and throughout the day we learned just how his thirst for knowledge and his brilliantly inventive mind has left a remarkable legacy.
We had checked on the website for details about opening hours etc and chose not to buy tickets on line, thinking that it shouldn't be too busy. Although it is school holidays here, we thought if we got there fairly early all would be well. We had not anticipated how popular a venue it was though; as we pulled into the car park and struggled to find a spot we congratulated ourselves on not being in the motor home. One option had been to leave this visit for our journey as we left VA, to make a small detour from our route to Pennsylvania, spend the day there and then perhaps overnight in a Wal Mart and continue on our way the next morning. However once we saw how busy it was, how full the small RV parking spots were, we knew we had made the right decision to leave Bree back at the campsite for another night..
Anyhow we joined a relatively short queue at the ticket counter, bought our tickets and were told that the next house tour with space was about a 40 minute wait – 'You're busy today' we said…'You're lucky" replied the nice ticket seller, "Over the week end the wait was 3-4 hours" lucky it is then!
I have to comment on how well everything was organised and how very pleasant and helpful all the staff were, but I suppose they are used to dealing with one or two tourists. Yes, its summer, Americans – and internationals are on holiday, the couple in front were from CA and the couple behind I think from Japan. Well I suppose Jefferson was a president…and I suppose he did draft the Declaration of Independence.
The house tours were leaving the front porch every 5 mins and there were 20 in each group; but all credit to our tour guide and the others we had the pleasure of meeting, they were very knowledgeable and yet seemed to be telling their story for the very first time. We learned later that it takes them about a year to be trained for any of the tours and several of them can do more than one topic.
Anyway, the house… although grand for its day with many innovations, had a cosy feel.
We also took the garden tour (of course) and the Mulberry Row tour, which painted a very vivid picture of life as a slave. This was a 'street' 1000ft. long, a rough track lined with mulberry trees along about 100 slaves lived and worked at one time there were 17 buildings along it, but as they were mostly wooden structures, little survives today. It must have been a constant dilemma for Jefferson, he depended on slaves to run his plantation and estate and yet declared that "all men are created equal" and have right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" – perhaps he saw the plantation/gardens/his horticultural work as a calling that would one day benefit all of mankind, maybe that's how he reconciled what to us, seems like a total contradiction.

Love Tractor (1980–2002) a band from Athens, Georgia, founded in spring 1980 by guitarists Mark Cline, Mike Richmond and bassist Armistead Wellford. Like The B-52's, Pylon and R.E.M., Love Tractor is lauded by critics and music historians as one of the founders of the Athens, Georgia, alternative rock scene. Love Tractor toured extensively and recorded six critically acclaimed albums, consistently topping the college and alternative charts. Love Tractor was particularly known for their instrumental rock.[1]
After a return to the public eye in the late '90s, Love Tractor released 2001's swan song The Sky At Night. The group disbanded in 2002.
In 2015 founding members Armistead Wellford, Bill Berry and Mark Cline, along with multi-instrumentalist Douglas Stanley (The Glands) released the instrumental single: A trip to the Museum, heralding a return to the band's instrumental roots. On August 13th, 2016 all original members of Love Tractor (Mark Cline, Mike Richmond, Armistead Wellford and Andrew Carter) reformed to perform at the Athens Pop Festival, the performance was at the Georgia Theater in Athens, GA. The band was accompanied on stage by Guitarists Bryan Poole (Elf Power, Casper & the Cookies), Jay Gonzalez (Drive by Truckers), drummer Joe Rowe (The Glands, Casper & the Cookies, Pylon Reenactment Society) and synthesist Kevin Dunn (The Fans, Regiment of Women).
The band was formed in the spring of 1980 by guitarists Mark Cline, Mike Richmond and bassist Armistead Wellford. The band played their first few gigs with only a drum machine, but drummers Kit Swartz (formerly of The Side Effects) and Bill Berry (future R.E.M. drummer) soon took over rotating duties as drummer, later in 1983 Andrew Carter would take over as full time drummer, after Carter's departure John Poe of Guadalcanal Diary rounded off the line up. Producer and studio keyboard player Alfredo Villar (of The Fans) contributed to the first two albums.[2] Love Tractor originally performed only instrumental material, but minimal vocals from Richmond were added starting with their second album "Around the Bend."
The band signed to DB Records. Their first release was a self-titled album, produced by Bruce Baxter and Alfredo Villar. 1983 saw second album Around the Bend; while on a tour promoting that album's release, Jon Pareles of The New York Times saw them at the Danceteria; in his September 1983 review, he said:[1]
"Most of Love Tractor's material moved at the steady pace of 1960's folk-rock, using winsome guitar leads above a cushion of rhythm guitar and a reassuring bass. Like instrumentals by the Ventures or the Raybeats, Love Tractor's tunes use two or three recurring segments and little improvisation. But they don't repeat - they develop. Where song lyrics might have told a story, Love Tractor let the texture of the music thicken. The drumming would get busier, or the bass line pushier, or the lead guitar line more intricate; the clear, catchy melodies grew more urgent with each reprise. When a vocal would float in for a few moments, it was just one more unassuming, thoroughly melodic piece of a song."
After two albums in 1984, and a chart topping cover of Kraftwerk's "Neon Light," on 1985's "Till The Cows Come Home," the band signed to Big Time (America), releasing This Ain't No Outer Space Ship in 1987.[2] After 1989's Themes from Venus, produced by Mitch Easter, the band went on semi-hiatus.[2] Wellford later joined Gutterball.[2] The band stopped touring completely in 1992, but Cline, Richmond, and Wellford continued to meet every couple of years in Athens to write songs.[3] Later, the original lineup (with several different drummers replacing Schwartz) recorded for RCA and Razor and Tie Records. The band re-formed in 1996 as a performing entity eventually recording 2001's 'The Sky at Night' for Razor and Tie.[4]

Sallie MaePO Box 9500 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania USA
Sallie Mae Even being on food stamps doesn't qualify for a deferment Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ended up with a private student loan through Sallie Mae after graduating from college. At the time that I was getting my loans, I just signed whatever my financial aid office gave me; I didn't understand what anything meant. I was having no problem paying back my loans for a few years after graduation but I now have a 4 month old baby and don't work. I live off food stamps and my husbands loans to pay rent. He goes to school full-time and works part time to help us pay our rent. He understands loans better so we are careful about what loans we take out. We do not have any month left over to pay $50 a month. I sent in paperwork for 3 months and they kept denying me but never explaining why. When I finally called to figure out what the heck was going on, the lady told me pay the balance due or pay $50 for a forebearance that would last 3 months. Apparently this loan has no option for a deferment or forebearance unless I am in school, residency, or military. What about financial hardship? I can't control the economy so how is it that Sallie Mae is allowed to give out this kind of loan to students? If I had understood what the loan was, I would have never gotten it.

Education is a wonderful thing..too bad you and your husband don't take advantage of it.
Apparently this loan has no option for a deferment or forebearance unless I am in school, residency, or military. What about financial hardship?
- No..they do have an option for forebearance. You just didn't like the option they gave you. Oh and if you can't even come up with $50, you have bigger issues and trying to pay back a student loan should be the least of your concerns. Of course you could always look around and see what you can do to scrimp and save. I bet you have(or do) one or more of the following.. Cable TV, Internet, Eat Out, Cell Phone. If you cut out even one of those things I bet you could come up with the $50/month.
If I had understood what the loan was, I would have never gotten it.
- Really? Then perhaps you can explain why you are basically currently living off of the Student Loans your Husband is getting? Do you honestly think that those loans are any different? Do you honestly think that if you have additional "Financial Hardship" that the other lender will just say "oh well" and not try to collect the payment after he is out of school and his deferrment is over? Or is this a case where your husband is just going to stay in school for the next 40 years?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The Birmingham, AL, folk-rock group Through The Sparks gives us a taste of its feel-good psychedelic sound on the band's newly released EP, Alamalibu. Named after the band's in-house studio, Alamalibu was recorded after Through The Sparks accomplished the feat of putting out a single every month for a year. Needless to say, the guys have been busy.
Today, CMJ is premiering the video for "Angel Fix," an edgier track from the EP with a ripping guitar solo. The video, directed by Hunter Barrow, tells the story of a dude who is having a very bad day. Frontman Jody Nelson answered a few questions about the video for us, which you can find below.
Tell me the story of this video. Why is this poor guy being subjected to such a bad day?
I think what Hunter was trying to convey is the "bound to lose" lyric. Even though the guy is great at what he does, there is a "gotta laugh or else you cry" thing going on here. Without getting into a literal interpretation of the song, I'd say that he nailed the message.
Did the video idea come from the band or from Hunter?
Hunter had free reign with the video, with the only instruction from us being that it should be absurd.
Why did you decide to go for the split-screen style?
Again, that was Hunter's doing, but there were so many shots for a two-minute-and-some-seconds-length song. It has a good frantic pace.
How many times have you watched Rocky?
I've seen the original one an average amount of times for a 32-year-old male. But, the second one; I lost count at 200. I actually once wanted to call the band Apollo Creed but got shot down.

Gossip (edition 1998)
by Christopher Bram
Work details
Gossip by Christopher Bram
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ralph Eckhart is a thirty something assistant manager in a New York bookstore, he's gay, out, left wing and aware. He leads a fairly contended, ordinary and unadventurous life until that is he encounters William O'Connor in an internet chat room. They meet up and enjoy each others company. Is it love Ralph feels for the younger, baby-faced and apparently successful Bill? Whatever it is they get on well together despite their divergent political views and the fact that Bill is still in the closet. But eventually Bill's right-wing connections get in the way, especially when Ralph sees and advance copy of Bill's soon to be published book, a reactionary and opinionated attack on prominent Washington women. But that's the least of Ralph's worries for shortly after the book's release he finds himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Throughout the story Ralph struggles to reconcile his views and outlook with his actions and the actions of his friends, and what he experiences may possible change his life completely.
Christopher Bram's prose flows with consummate ease as we follow Ralph's account of events. At first it seems a remarkably ordinary tale woven around the narrator's friends, work, ambitions (or lack of), and his private life, but then quite suddenly we are swept up in a tense mystery as Ralph's world all but caves in when he unwittingly finds himself the centre of unwanted attention. Gossip is a gripping story, which once it gets going is difficult to put down.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0452273382, Paperback)Christopher Bram is one of the most praised writers of gay fiction, and Gossip is perhaps his best book to date. An incisive, savvy political thriller, Gossip tells the story of Ralph Eckhart, a denizen of the gay East Village and ACT UP member, who meets and starts an affair with Bill O'Connor, a closeted gay Republican journalist. After Ralph dumps Bill with an angry phone call (that has been taped), and O'Connor is soon found murdered, the police think they know who did it. Beautifully plotted and written, Christopher Bram has written a novel of contemporary gay politics that is as complex and exhilarating as our lives.

Malaysia Says It Killed Rebel General, Muslim Clan DisputesManirajan Ramasamy and Chong Pooi Koon
Malaysian forces said they killed a top commander of a Muslim armed group from the Philippines that invaded Sabah, a claim disputed by the clan as violence continued in the monthlong struggle over ownership of the commodities-rich state.
Haji Musa, a general from the Royal Army of the Sulu Sultanate, was killed yesterday, Hamza Taib, Sabah's police chief, said in a televised media briefing. Abraham Idjirani, a spokesman for Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram, said by phone that the general was "very much alive."
A Malaysian soldier and three insurgents were shot dead in a gunfight this morning, Defense Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said in a mobile text message to Bloomberg News today, bringing the death toll to more than 60 people this month. Kiram's followers invaded Sabah to assert a centuries-old ownership claim over the state.
The incursion has been a distraction for Prime Minister Najib Razak as he prepares for polls that will determine whether his National Front coalition can extend its 55-year grip on power. He'll probably dissolve parliament by the end of this month for elections after raising civil servants' salaries, analysts including Ibrahim Suffian said.
"Najib has gotten a boost through his handling of the insurgency," Ibrahim, an analyst at the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research, said today in a phone interview. "It has increased patriotism in the country. At the same time, pay rises will help secure a traditional base of support among civil servants and their families."
The prime minister must dissolve parliament by April 28, after which the Election Commission is required to hold a vote within 60 days. Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin arrived in Sabah today to visit the operations center.
Land Claim
The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index has fallen 2.2 percent after closing at a record on Jan. 7 on concern the National Front could lose seats in the election. The benchmark, Asia's worst performer this year, closed 0.1 percent down in Kuala Lumpur today. The ringgit has dropped 1.7 percent this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
A Philippine Muslim group loyal to Jamalul Kiram, the 74-year-old Sultan of Sulu, invaded on Feb. 12. The sultanate, which dates back to about the 15th century, says it leased Sabah to the British North Borneo Company in 1878, an agreement that Malaysia views as a secession of the region. Sabah fell under British control after World War II and joined Malaysia in 1963, shortly after the sultanate ceded sovereignty to the Philippines.
More than 50 militants have been killed since the start of the unrest, Hamza said on television today. Eight police officers died in earlier fighting.
'Choose Wisely'
Najib yesterday raised salaries of civil servants, including police and the armed forces, costing the government 1.5 billion ringgit ($483 million).
"I hope with all this, all of you will choose wisely and make the right decision in the coming general election," Najib said when announcing the initiative yesterday in Putrajaya, the country's administrative center near Kuala Lumpur.
The government has also been distributing a second round of 500-ringgit cash handouts to low-income households as the election draws near.
"It's no longer a matter of good timing or not, he just doesn't have a choice any more," Wan Saiful Wan Jan, chief executive officer of the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs, said by phone today. "Everyone is saying that he will dissolve the parliament. The likelihood is by the end of this month, so the element of surprise is completely gone by now."
Najib's approval rating fell to 61 percent in early February in a survey conducted before fighting began in Sabah, from 63 percent at the end of December, the Merdeka Center said Feb. 26.
"My sense is that it will be by the end of March," said Ong Kian Ming, a political analyst at UCSI University in Kuala Lumpur and an election strategist for the opposition Democratic Action Party. "March 25 seems like a possible date."

It is always very pleasant for the American media when two famous Hollywood folk decide to seek a divorce. That means at least two or three or more months of speculation, pictures, learned TV analysts discussing important issues of the world such as how much does she get and will we all learn about what he did–or vice versa? The American divorce game must be played out in public, God forbid that a couple going through divorce seek silence and care for the feelings of their children.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are beginning the process of divorce. They have a young child,Suri, and an important issue is whether Tom gets the right to have his child brain-washed by the Scientology cult. Katie insists that her child will not be subject to summer camps where this nut cases teach about their bizarre cult to children. Sorry, Scientology has nothing to do with religion.
At least the public will be spared from stories about who slept with who or about details of how they engaged in sex.

Driving a tracked vehicle at 35 mph does NOT feel slow. I had hundreds of miles running M-114s (post-rebuild test drives - we took them off the end of our line and ran them around the plant after regular working hours so as to not have to worry about runniong over people) at USAMP-Roedelheim 1966-67. It is a fun little track on hard-stand. Noded easy and got stuck crossing ditches, though, plus short on power and had a less than perfect "Rubber-band" track instead of shoe-type live track like the M-113.
A diesel version and new track, plus a revised front end configuration would have made it better, maybe even worth having. They were alo prone to hull cracking where the final drive exited the hull. Part of the rebuild we were performing was to remediate any crack that were not too severe and add a somewhat complex (in shape - it was just a slab of aluminum cut to fit around the final drive axle penetration for the drive sprocket) reinforcing plate by MIG welding to all vehicles.
