Building in the Node 804
With the tour of the outside complete, we can really see what types of configurations are possible by building a system into the Node 804. The stock configuration seems like it would perform acceptably well for most configurations, but I'm going to see if I can fit a Radeon R9 290 graphics card as well as a Cooler Master Nepton 280L 280mm all-in-one liquid cooler in this Node to see how it handles some larger components.
First, the PSU. The entire "floor" of the right chamber is usable power supply space, so you shouldn't run into any clearance problems with larger power supplies. The unit pictured is about 150mm (not including the modular connectors), so if you want to make use of the cable management straps in front of the PSU you probably wouldn't want anything much larger (most of the typical models that would power a mATX system would do fine in the Node 804). Fractal Design is one of the few companies with a 140mm power supply that supplies more than 500W (the Integra R2 series has 500W, 650W and 750W models), so there are options out there if you want smaller but more powerful power supplies to save space in the Node 804.
The motherboard, CPU and RAM install without any problems and the tie-down points underneath are a very welcome sight. The audio and front panel header cables usually end up a bit of a mess, so the ability to tie those down out of the way is very appreciated. A cutout for the 8-pin CPU cable up top provides easy access for cables, but the cutout itself could stand to be a bit larger if only to accommodate multiple cables (I routed the fan controller cables through this hole as well).
The two 3.5″ drive cages accommodate four HDDs each. The drives end up hanging vertically, and there's enough space between them to get a bit of airflow through them all to keep them cool. The smaller Node 304 managed to pack six drives in a very small enclosure – it looks like the Node 804 follows suit with eight drives (not to mention the other two mounting locations in the other chamber). Undoubtedly some will claim there would be a way to fit even more drives in the Node 804 for file server/NAS duty, but I think Fractal Design has targeted this chassis perfectly. You can fit more drives in this mATX Node than any other mATX enclosure (and many ATX cases, for that matter) anyway, and for dedicated mechanical storage you'd think some hot-swap bays and rack-mounted configurations would be a better fit. I think this is a great use of space, and you get to decide on your own if you want the space for storage or for more radiators/fans (I love chassis that don't force a certain configuration; ones that allow me the option to build different systems in the same case).
Now's the time to wire up the motherboard as things may get a little cramped with the Nepton 280L installed. I liked the split chamber design of the Corsair Carbide Air 540 as it made accessing everything a cinch; the Node 804 is no different. It's nice not having to worry about laying that large 24-pin ATX cable flat against the motherboard tray – instead, you can just strap it down wherever. Or don't even bother. If you aren't installing a large amount of drives, the drive/PSU chamber won't be affected by messy cables.
The Nepton 280L install was a bit interesting. With the two 120mm stock fans in the main chamber, a 280mm radiator would not clear the fans (the reservoirs on the end of the Nepton's radiator were just large enough to get in the way – if you could manage to find a radiator that was exactly 280mm long including barbs, it may fit). Two 140mm fans would fit snugly up here, but the radiator was a no-go. 240mm radiators would be ideal if you needed it to fit in the main chamber. What's the point of two separated chambers if you can't isolate your CPU from the hot graphics cards anyway? If you follow the hoses from the Nepton 280L's water block, they lead through the convenient opening up front and wrap around to the other side.
Here, the Nepton's 280mm radiator and twin 140mm JetFlo fans fit perfectly – well, almost. The rear 140mm fan encroached on the stock 120mm rear exhaust fan. I could have simply used a 120mm fan on the radiator instead (the Nepton has mounting holes for 120mm fans as well), but I figured I'd use it to add a bit more airflow to the main chamber. A larger all-in-one cooler does fit and performs well in this chassis, but you'll probably have more flexibility (and less frustration) with 120mm or 240mm radiators and fans. It goes without saying the drive cages will need to be removed to accommodate this type of configuration. Something that may be less obvious is the requirement of flush-head screws for attaching the radiator. Thankfully, the Nepton 280L comes with screws to mount the radiator directly to a case, but if you wanted to put the fans above the radiator instead of below the thumbscrew portion would stick up too far and prevent the top panel from sliding back into place. It would be nice to see a bit of extra room up here, and it might help improve airflow too with a little less restriction up top.
At this point there's only one thing left: the graphics card. To test the limits of the Node 804 I figured a Radeon R9 290 (this one using XFX's Double Dissipation cooler) would generate enough heat for some interesting results. At just under 300mm in length, the XFX R9 290 was only a few millimeters away from touching the newly relocated bottom 120mm fan – without the fan, there would be another 25-30mm of space for even larger cards (official specs say 320mm without the fan). For a micro-ATX enclosure, that's impressive. I'm very glad to see five PCI slot covers, as that means (depending on your motherboard) Crossfire/SLI configurations are much more manageable. I'm not sure if I'll have time to test it, but this is one of the few micro-ATX enclosures that I'd seriously consider installing two graphics cards.
With everything assembled and powered on, the 1000 RPM Silent Series R2 fans don't make any more noise than the water pump or graphics card fans. The top baffles really do help direct most of the escaping sound towards the rear of the chassis, making the Node 804 quieter than I originally expected. I shouldn't be surprised though, the Node 304 was a very efficient chassis as well.

2002 Hyundai Trajet GLS 2.0 DOHC 16v
Good quality family car
Front interior/ reading lamp not working properly, it's probably broken by the previous owner.
"T" pipe for water heater broken at 115.000 km, fortunately I don't need that since we have no snow in Indonesia.
Power steering seal and front shock absorber needed to be changed at 98.000 km, after I just spent my money for installing car multimedia entertainment, rear parking sensor and of course regular gasoline.
General Comments:
This is very good family car sold world wide with a very... very... reasonable price when I bought it, compare to its rival, which most Indonesians take a fancy to.
Gasoline consumption is fair as you look for 2 litre engine power, as its big engine is suitable and made for long distance cruising. Hope there will be new invention or technology as 2.0 litre engines run with 1 litre consumption for 15 km, then I might throw this beautiful minivan away! My Trajet uses 2002 engine technology without CVVT, VVT-i, or VTEC technology, but the fuel consumption is much better than its new "rival" Kijang Innova (year 2006), which using latest VVT-i technology; during trip to Bandung from Jakarta in highway, the fuel consumption reached 12,7 km/litre. The city movement spent 7,8 km/litre. That's why I still love this car. I'm just wondering if I can buy New Trajet 2008 with CVVT technology.
What spacious room I have for my family for traveling with 'real" comfort. The ride and handling are good and firm, compared to my previous MPV (Toyota Kijang) before I changed to a Hyundai Elantra.
Slightly under powered when climbing a steep hill, but still does a reasonable speed.
My family are happy with the complete features inside this car, as other families expect for a minivan.
I just wondering if I can should a new Hyundai Trajet CVVT or Hyundai Entourage for next.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 26th June, 2008
30th May 2015, 15:12
We have the 4 speed automatic Trajet with a 2.0L petrol engine and don't expect to get much more than 18 MPG. Perhaps mid 20s on a run.
A CVT auto would be a very bad choice on any car! Noisy and even poorer fuel economy.
The Trajet for all its design faults is still a comfy car for several people to travel in.
Ours is 11 years old and has done just 48K miles. Still has the original battery and exhaust. But has had 6 (yes SIX) new suspension top mounts!!!

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Business Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Annotations
710.0000 PLACE OF SALE FOR PURPOSES OF BRADLEY-BURNS UNIFORM LOCAL SALES AND USE TAXES—Regulation 1802
Annotation 710.0003
710.0003 Place of Sale—Auctioneers. An auctioneer's place of sale is deemed to be the place where the auction takes place, Regulation 1802(b)(4). The Board has interpreted "place" to mean county in the context of retailers such as construction contractors and auctioneers. It is reasonable for the Board to decide that when an auctioneer holds a sale at a particular location for a period of less than thirty days, such sales locations are so temporary in nature as not to justify imposing upon such auctioneers the burdens associated with requiring them to obtain Subpermits for those locations.
The practice of allocating the local tax revenues from temporary locations to the countywide pool was validated by the court in City of San Joaquin v. State Board of Equalization (1970) 9 Cal.App.3d 365 (88 Cal.Rptr.12). The board is not required to change this policy merely because the auctioneer has held auctions at the same location for several years or that substantial amounts of revenue are generated as a result of these auctions. An allocation that is reasonable otherwise is not rendered invalid because a particular case does not fall precisely within its parameters.
The revenues from the temporary location are allocated to the pool of the county. The jurisdiction in which the temporary auction takes place shares in the revenue based on its proportion of sales within the county to total sales. Accordingly, the jurisdiction cannot show it has lost revenue. Nor can it show that this rule is unreasonable in its overall application, even assuming it could show hardship in its own case. 9/9/91.

I have two machines, one with XP, and an older one with w98; I have a piece of software that works on both w98
and XP, *almost*. On the w98, it keeps saying I need 'administrator priveleges', or it will not start. Yet, the default
single user account on both XP and w98 is, by definition, 'administrator' . The software works fine on XP and is
supposed to work on w98. I even tried installing a password for the account, and loaded 'system policy' utility
from the install disk, all to no avail. The most amazing thing is that during the clean install, there is even men-
tion of an option which should only be used by system administrators!!!! Anybody know how to get administrator
priveleges on w98? tnx, kurt,

Administrator priveleges in w98.(6 posts)
I have two machines, one with XP, and an older one with w98; I have a piece of software that works on both w98
That is odd. I don't think any privilege separation like Administrator/Limited even exists on Windows 98. I think on Windows 98 you always have the highest available privileges and they can't be lower.
What program is showing this error?
Don't know if I clicked right before, but the program is called HDhacker;when the error message(on w98) occurs, this seems to imply that w98 is
aware of 'administrator priveleges', or, possibly that the error message is generated by the HDhacker program. Again, though, if you watch the
dialog boxes during the clean install of the w98, one of them says something like "these options recommended only for system administrators"!.
TNX-kurt, <
That is indeed the page; however, in the readme txt that comes with it, it plainly states that it shou work with 95-98, and
even mentions a system file not present in 98 which I obtained. Still did'nt work. Very strange. kurt,
I know for a fact that Windows 98 has no system of user privileges like Administrator and Limited. You always have full access to everything in Windows 98.
So an error of needing Administrator access on Windows 98 would mean a bug in the program as it would have to be generating the error message.
Also the "Options recommend only for system Administrators" doesn't have anything to do with Administrator privileges, it refers to people who's job it is to Administrate a computer and have a high level of knowledge about computers.
I just looked at the HDHacker readme and saw "In Windows 95 and 98 this is the default -if you have signed in with a password (otherwise you must create an administrator account)".
It sounds like you need to add a password to your account for it to work. I'm not sure why that would be.

Last Thursday morning, the bells of my Episcopal church pealed to celebrate the Supreme Court's rejection of the Defense of Marriage Act. In my house in the days since, we have been playing Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's song Same Love at top volume. The opening strains of the song, which indicts the notion that homosexuality is a choice and a sin, echo Curtis Mayfield's gospel hit People Get Ready. That seems right in light of last week's events, doesn't it? People get ready, there's a train coming. Or perhaps, the train got here long ago and was forced to sit idling in the station until finally, its arrival was announced and its doors flung wide. (Digression: I looked up the lyrics for "People Get Ready" before writing this post. It's a lovely song….except for the part in verse 3 about there being no room on the train for "a hopeless sinner." Really?? See Matthew 9:13, Mark 2:17, Luke 5:32—For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.)
Anyway. The point being that music—joyful, beautiful, heart-busting music—seemed the best way to celebrate the Court's historic decision to recognize access to same-sex marriage as a civil right. Music seems a far better response than more words. Of course, I can't help but offer a few words too, though I'm going to keep this post uncharacteristically short.
I have long thought that marriage as a legal, civil institution should be entirely under the authority of government, not religious institutions. Or to put it another way, I think religious institutions should get out of the business of actually performing marriages (making them legal, signing marriage certificates, etc.), and stick to simply blessing marriages according to their theology and traditions. For the government to prevent same-sex couples the right to marriage and its many legal and less tangible benefits because of a theological notion of what God intends for marriage is an egregious assault on the separation of church and state. And religious institutions maintain their right to interpret their scriptures as they will when it comes to homosexuality and marriage. There will continue to be religious communities, including Christian communities, that condemn same-sex marriage on theological and scriptural grounds.
That fact doesn't make me happy (and I don't believe that Christian scriptures are at all clear about either homosexual relationships in general or one woman-one man as the sole legitimate model for marriage). But I accept that churches maintain a right to say which marriages they will or won't bless within their sanctuary walls. And I choose to worship in a congregation where same-sex couples are embraced as a matter of course, because they are fellow Christians and human beings and because marriage is a hard and beautiful thing that can be nurtured within a faith community, not because we are called to "love the sinner, hate the sin" or because I know Jesus loves gay people too. If you have to single out a particular kind of person and declare piously that they, too, are loved by Jesus, I think you might be missing the point of a faith in which "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28).
There's a lot of work to do still, responding to centuries of misunderstanding and alienation and hatred and violence. The day's news can frequently make me embarrassed to bear the label "Christian," when I see it used as a manipulative tool for social and political agendas that bear little resemblance to the ministry of Jesus. But when my church bells rang out in celebration last Thursday, I was proud to be a Christian, one belonging to that bell-ringing church. I wanted to climb the tower and shout along with the bells, "People get ready!"
Change is coming. Change is here. And there are many, many of us who bear the name Christian who are celebrating that change. Let the music give expression to dreams realized, hopes met. Let the bells ring and the singers sing.

Boy Scout leaders lift ban on gay scouts; adult ban remains
The Boy Scouts of America have approved a plan to accept openly gay boys as Scouts. A ban on gay adult leaders remains.
It was a vote years in the making. The Boy Scouts of America delegation finally voted to overturn its long-standing ban on openly gay members. But this decision comes with plenty of controversy.
Each of the more than 300 Boy Scout Councils nationwide have sent delegates to the national meeting this week in Dallas including several representatives from the Crossroads Council.
On the eve of the vote, BSA President Wayne Perry called for voters to approve the resolution. He wrote an opinion piece for USA Today saying a change is "the right decision for Boy Scouts."
"It's a very difficult decision for a lot of people, but we are moving forward together, and within our movement everyone agrees one thing, no matter how you feel about this issue, kids are better off in scouting," Perry said after the vote.
It's a big decision with many implications.
When it comes to ministering to others, Rev. Dr. David Hampton has a burden for speaking to the heart.
Dr. Hampton pastors Light of the World Christian Church on the city's north side. The church sponsors and operates a Boy Scout troop. For him, when it comes to the vote on whether to overturn the ban on openly gay members, it's an easy call.
"Our job as a church is to minister, to love, and to help, not to judge," said Dr. Hampton.
Religion plays a powerful role in this debate, but not always in support of gay members. The Scouts invoke God in their membership guidelines. Seventy percent of troops are sponsored by religious organizations.
Protests have erupted around the country, with some groups going so far as to say they'll shut down their troop if they're forced to allow gay members.
On the other side, gay rights groups encourage the national council to reach further than the plan by allowing openly gay youth AND leaders.
"It would difficult to ban someone for revealing who they are. I respect someone for revealing who they are. That's truth. Those who hide who they are would be a bigger issue for me," said Dr. Hampton.
We hit the streets to talk with others involved in scouting to get their take.
Suggested Links
"I don't think they should ban gay kids from joining the Boy Scouts. It's a wrong message that they're giving to everybody on what the Boy Scouts are about," said William Richards.
"Young gay kids also need the scouting experience to be prepared for anything they're going to handle in life because they're going to bear different things than most people and I think scouting could help with that," said David Bacon.
A lot of people will be affected by the decision. The Boy Scouts is one of the largest youth organizations in the country - including 100,000 troops that include nearly three million boys ages 7-17 and more than one million adults. Many of them have weighed in on this issue during a public survey and re-examination period over the last two years.

Claims of a 'gold rush' going on in the mobile gaming space right now are entirely accurate, says the founder of game development company Ninja Kiwi.
Chris Harris said there were currently "huge opportunities" for individuals and companies looking to create games for people to play on smartphones.
"People are saying that using terms like 'wild west' and 'gold rush' aren't accurate - I really think they are. The rules are still being written," Harris said.
"The amount of money out there is practically infinite. There are companies making money that would make your eyes water."
Ninja Kiwi, which Harris co-founded with brother Stephen in 2006, has grown to a team of about 40 people working from offices in Kumeu, Auckland and Dundee, Scotland.
It gets 70 per cent of its revenue from users of Apple iOS and Android devices.
The company made about $5 million in the last financial year, with the help of hits like Bloons Tower Defence 5, which soared in its first week to No2 in the iTunes App Store in the US.
Speaking today at the Technology Innovation Week conference in Auckland, Harris said the brothers had experienced "a pretty wild and successful ride".
He said the games industry in New Zealand was starting to get some real traction.
The biggest opportunities were in developing mobile-social games, those which could be played via social media sites and smartphone.
Harris pointed to the success of Candy Crush, published by King.com, which had more than 15 million daily users through mobile and Facebook.
Rather than through subscriptions, the best money-generating model was a game people could play for free but in which they paid small amounts to get extra features.
"I think the biggest success stories so far in mobile games have been free games with paying for extra lives or whatever," he said.
"For people who don't want to pay money you can advertise to them."
Others who spoke today at Technology Innovation Week 2013 included Stefan Preston, owner of investment company and consultancy Ingenio, and Ken Erskine, a director of ICE Angels.
Organised by New Zealand Information & Communications Technology, the conference runs through to the end of this week.

Fingal secure shock win over YMCA
FINGAL BELIED their lowly league position with a rishly deserved victory over high-flying YMCA on Saturday.
The home side got off to a teriffic start when David Baines converted a penalty on 10 minutes and a shock was very much on the cards when replacement Chris Neville doubled their lead on 25. It was no more than Fingal deserved and but for some poor finishing and the inpsired from of YMCA stopper Ian Walker, it could been a whole lot better.
David Spencer pulled one back for YMCA 10 minutes into the second half and Fingal lost their way a bit despite their opponenets being reduced to 10 men for 10 minutes. Spencer struck again to draw YMCA level, but despite a couple of green and yellow cards, Fingal defended resolutely and found their rhythm again in the closing stages when back to the full compliment.
They were harshly denied a penalty corner, but the ref eventually awarded one as full-time approached and Simon McKeever popped up to slam home from a well-worked set-piece. With a young squad finsding its feet in the world of top-class hockey, Fingal have been struggling this season, but they will be hoping this victory can prove to be a turning point in their season.
FINGAL: Nigel Grothier, David Baines, Eamon Baines, Conor Connolly, Andy Marshall, Andrew Shekleton, Simon McKeever, Luke Hayden, Paddy Gahan, Marcus O'Brien, Shane Dempsey. Replacements: Chris Neville, Adrian Sweeney, Alan Davis, Jeremey McKeever, Ben Shillingworth.

Rio De Janeiro, Feb 19: Brazil is prepared to ensure the security of Brazilians and visitors during the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup games, President Dilma Rousseff said on Tuesday.
Brazil has invested heavily in defence and is fully capable of handling security in the 12 cities hosting games during the June to July event, Xinhua quoted Rousseff as saying in an interview to a daily.
"Brazil is prepared to ensure the safety of its citizens and of visitors," the president said, adding "federal government spending on security has amounted to 1.9 billion reals (about $790 million)".
Rousseff detailed the government's actions on security, saying they include "setting up integrated command and control centers in all host cities, strengthening port infrastructure, acquiring equipment to boost safety on highways and centralise security operations, and integrating communications between local and federal institutions".

Dejlig beliggenhed i Gdansk gamle bydel. God værdi for pengene. God kommunikation med ejeren og rengøringsdame. Rene og godt udstyret. Tæt på meget gode restauranter, caféer og dokker og historiske område. Parkering udenfor (betales, men ikke dyrt). 20 minutter fra lufthavnen. Problem med bruser lækker, at jeg nævnte til renere, og også sovesofa er "Ikea", meget lille til 2 personer og på alle comfy. En ordentlig polsk sovesofa ville være bedre, eller en ordentlig seng i alkoven i stedet for bord og stole.
Lovely location in Gdansk Old Town. Good value for money. Good communication with the owner and cleaning lady. Clean and well equipped. Close to very nice restaurants, cafes, and the docks and historical area. Parking (payable, but not expensive) outside. 20 minutes from airport. Problem with shower leaking that I mentioned to the cleaner, and also the sofa bed is 'Ikea', very small for 2 people and at all comfy. A proper Polish sofa bed would be better, or a proper bed in the alcove instead of the table and chairs.
Wonderful apartment! Location is excellent. Very clean and charming. The woman who let us in was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the stay very much!
We loved this apartment. It was well equipped and very comfortable. Great location. We couldn't have asked for more.
I express my gratitude to Renata for providing comfortable apartments !!! We are very well and warmly welcomed and told where lushche and tasty lunch , access to parks and shopping in the city !!! Apartment with a beautiful view out of the window , in the heart of Gdansk !!! All very pleasant , clean and beautiful !!! We will arrive to you again !!!
We had good contact with Renata. She gave us directions to get to the apartment. There we met a kind woman who showed us the apartment. She didn't speak English but with some drawings and hand signs she managed to explain everything to us. The apartment was really clean. Everything we needed was there. Cook equipment, towels etc. The bed was good, only a little hard, but that's a personal thing. The apartment is right in the centre of the old town en near everything. Only a few meters to the water, to a supermarket and some nice restaurants and bars. Just perfect! We would definitely recommend it to anyone!!
We liked! This was really good deal : cheap price, fast Wlan, nice bed, good location between railway station, main street in old town and canal. Apartment was clean, shower worked. Kitchen tools were enough to make breakfast ( even espresso) In the Street Szeroka,( just on the corner ) you can find tiny shop, open until 23, bigger food market, bars, Spanish and Italian restaurants etc... Ps: There is no lift, so if stairs to 3.floor is problem, this is not the best place then.
It is not like the service. By Mail agreed on one thing, in fact, it was quite another. Poor working heating, it was cold at night . The only plus is the location in the city center .

Springing ahead brings the promises of after work daylight hours, but always leaves me grouchy and out of sorts for a few days. It's just one hour, of course, that we push our clocks forward. Even so, experts in chronobiology — the study of how our internal clocks, our adaptation to solar and lunar rhythms, work — say it's pretty normal for people to take several days to adjust when we move our clocks ahead every Spring. So, yawn along with me while I explain how I found files on a Unix server dating not back to prior era but springing forward all the way to 2036!
I was checking a system to make sure that it was receiving data updates from a remote host when I discovered the futuristic files. I had been running a find command to provide me with a list of files that were less than one day old. To my surprise, I found about thirty files all dating forward to 2036. This is not a complete surprise. After all, the format of the Unix date command is a bit unwieldy at times. It's easy to forget whether one has to include the year and, if so, whether it goes at the beginning or end of the date string. Since I know how easy it is to make a mistake using the date command, I always follow a date reset with a second date command to make sure the date and time looks like what I expect to see. Otherwise, I try again or read the man page to figure out what I did wrong. Somehow, whether through a date error on this server or a transfer of files from another system with a date problem, we ended up with files dated far into the future.
My "find -mtime -1" command found the "future files" along with more than a hundred files that had been legitimately updated within the previous 24 hours or so. To get a list of only those files with dates stretching forward into the future, I ran a find command with "-mtime -0" -- in other words, "younger than brand new".
While I had no way to know what an appropriate time stamp would have been for any of these files, I wanted to grab them back from the far flung future if only to ensure that legitimately newer versions of the same files would be able to bump them if some "if newer than" logic were being applied.
My approach for updating the files was to use a find command to create a file list and then examine a long listing of each file before running the touch command to make each file's timestamp current. A reference file could be have been used instead if I wanted to give the files an earlier date, but I just didn't want them to be the newest files on the system for the next 27 years. The feedback also served to confirm how many files were affected by the problem and to see if there was anything that tied them together (e.g., names or file system locations).
find . -mtime -0 -ls > /tmp/futfiles for file in `cat /tmp/futfiles | awk '{print $NF}'` do ls -l $file echo -n "> " read ans touch $file ls -l $file done

The beginning of the separation
Once again, my heart and mind flew me to Peru for another set of Ayahuasca ceremonies with further limits breaking. Only until the day before departure I wasn't sure if I am going, and so, my preparation was a subtile, and as always you don't have a slightest idea on what you have to prepare. One thing I was sure is my intentions for the ceremonies, which were simply healing. I even had an ambition to come back home without any bandages, but it wasn't an expectation.
I was accompanied by my very good friend that felt the calling of Ayahuasca, so I didn't travel alone, and after all the ceremonies we took a adventures trip around Peru.
Written by zmatija, published over 4 years ago.
As now, I have a bit of experience with Aya and I was curious where it will take me, and how strong the experience will be, since last year it was a very mild and gentle therapy, and the year before it was a blockbuster movie in my head. After a few days in Lima we went to The Jungle, and a day later, the first ceremony was on schedule.
Somehow, it is if your mind predicts what is about to happen and starts worrying and thinking, and during the ceremony I was reminded of the last trip and I just honestly asked why I am so closed minded, and even scared of the process, because it was again a milled experience with me thinking all the time. Two days later on the second ceremony I got the most profound answer I could imagine, and so clear and effective that all my inner expectations and fears vanished. And the answer was simple, if I really want what my intention is, then I have to stay in my body and work together with Aya on healing, because she won't and can't do it alone.
After that answer and me letting go, I started receiving information regarding my relationships, from family to emotional challenges, to past family broken links and the importance of being honest, connected and loving with everyone.
Third ceremony was a cleansing one, I purged and suet pored out of me, I saw how I am getting purified, it was a nice collaboration between me and Aya.
And then after a ceremony of Bobinsana, which is a gentle opening of the heart drink, fourth ceremony of Ayahuasca came. I felt something is going to happen, and after the Shaman gave me a full cup of the brew I knew that it will be a rough ride. It started very quickly, and so intensively that I started screaming. For a while I was struggling with finding a comfortable position, since I knew that I have to clear all my worries in order for the ceremony to go smooth. But there was a lot more then just getting comfortable, a found myself on the floor at some point, and in my mind there was an epic battle going on, and the battle was between me and EB.
Till that night I would always argue that I am ONE with EB, and that it was my past, or something beyond genes that is causing it, a blockage in energetic or even informational realms. And it is all that, but what I found out that night is that it has a soul of its own, it is an entity living on my account. And from that point forward it started to get more and more clear how I can recognize its behavior and what are its characteristics. The fourth ceremony I was fighting the mind of EB, which as much Aya pushed it and wanted to get me out of the body, my mind was struggling to stay inside, holding on to anything what it felt as a secure experience, emotion, symbol or any other illusion stored in my head.
I recognized at some point what is going on, but the power of my mind was so strong that I just couldn't help Aya, and after the ceremony I was laying on the flour wet, exhausted, lost in space, in my mind that is still like a car without brakes still thinking and holding to the existence that was known. I still get insights from that night, and have a lot of work implementing the knowledge and the experience.
But the lesson didn't end yet, there was one more Aya ceremony and one totally new experience of San Pedro cactus ceremony two days later. Last Aya was conducting in a celebration of everything we went thru in this cycle, a pleasant and loving night with magical energies and body sensations. I was a kind of disappointed that in the fourth ceremony I didn't go thru, but as time passes I am more and more thankful for that experience. One think that was also new is a feeling that my disease was angry at my attempt of diminishing it, so I kind of felt that the rest of the trip might get a bit challenging, as if EB is trying to get revenge.
There were two days of rest, and the San Pedro came on schedule. It is a sacred brew used in Peru for ages, and the ceremonies and the whole ritual is quite different from Aya, but still deeply profound and useful. It has a lot of healing power in it as well, so I had to try it, since I am at the right place for it. Ceremonies are conducted at noon, and we go on a little excursion to experience the effects the best way. I wasn't really happy about moving somewhere during a psychedelic experience which I had no idea what the effects are, but I went with the rest of the crew.
This ceremony was all about water, so we went on a boat ride to the Amazon river, and for a visit to local tribe. The whole night before rain was poring and when we came at the start of the path that led to the tribe I was uncomfortably surprised! It was a local small narrow path in the mud, and it was a 45 minute walk thru jungle, with small bridges made of logs, uphill and down hill. As almost always I didn't turn around, I went thru it, and after I came to that small village in the middle of jungle I was very happy that I made it, my face was red as tomato, and I was exhausted.
After I cooled of with a fresh lemonade and fruits, I started feeling the effects of San Pedro, and soon got the answer why we had to go to that remote tribe. For the first time I felt an amazing and profound connection with surrounding jungle, as I felt Earths whole history, and how peaceful and full of wisdom nature is. After a few hours wondering in the jungle we headed back to our boats, and amazingly the whole trip back felt like it was a 5 minute walk, so I was the happiest guy out there when I saw the end of that muddy path.
On the boat ride back, we experienced the most amazing sunset ever, with red clouds, three rainbows and bird that was flying for ten minutes beside our boat! When we came back to the sanctuary we had a nice big dinner and then went to the ceremonial space to meditate. There I again got the feeling of separation between me and EB, and it was a encouraging feeing after all that I went thru that day, and since I started the Peru expedition.
Two days later our spiritual journey ended and we went back to Lima, where we stayed one night. There we figured our rough plan for next two weeks that I had left until my flight back. From the intensity of last two weeks experiences we wanted to find a nice and relaxing place, to settle a bit, get a rest and contemplate, but I felt it there and knew that challenges are just beginning.
We went in direction of Cusco, every second day we changed towns and tourist places, we used local buses and taxi and slept in cheapest hostels. As like this wasn't challenging enough for me, the process of cleansing started with diarrhea as soon as we started the trip south, I had a wound on my heel, and on my left hand fingers which I mostly use. So, these two weeks were far from pleasant and comfortable, But now, after everything is over I am very happy that I went thru it, I didn't miss anything, I went everywhere and saw amazing stuff. I pushed my limits far far away, and experienced a taste of freedom which I never imagined! Of course, I was the happiest man alive when I landed on Zagreb airport and came back home, to my family and friends and customs that I am used to.
But I landed with tremendous new experience, and a big obligation to implement new insights that I have been given, and those challenges in Peru where just a fraction of what is ahead, because Aya doesn't just work during the ceremony, it is with you regardless of time and space!!

Not Everyone Was Born To Love - Poem by Raymond Valadez
Not every one was born to love you
So I must tell you now that many will hurt you
Many will pass you by
And take your beautiful words as if your speaking lies
Do what ever is in there power to see you cry
Discard your words
As if they where words they never heard
Some will just want your body
And yet other will always ignore your company
Such a tragedy to see some one as beautiful as you suffering
Many will cause you pain
By walking out on you someday
Not realizing what they had in front of them that day
Other will try to change everything about you
And that is because they simply don't love you
Many will find a ways to make you mad
Some will even toy with your emotions to make them laugh
All this thing will no doubt make me sad
All because, you see I was born to love you
To take care of you when no one wants you
Be there when the hole world has left you
When you cry it is my duty to hold you tight
When your sad it is my mission to make you glad
At your worst let you know that no one comes first
Yes those are my desires for you
All because I was really born to love you

Voice of Fire was commissioned for the U.S. Pavilion at the Montreal International and Universal Exhibition, better known as Expo '67. The canvas appeared, with other works by leading American contemporary artists, in the massive geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. Newman, by that time a distinguished veteran of the New York School, celebrated for his bold, elemental paintings, conceived of a design that would stand out in the vast, sunlit and crowded space under the dome. Limiting his colours to red and blue, he created this powerful vertical canvas to be suspended from the dome's ceiling. While it appears simple in form, Voice of Fire conveys a range of meanings. Newman intended the work to be studied from a short distance; its enormous scale transforms the space and tests our sensory experience.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Welcome to the third installment of "Don't Call Me A Mailbag". For a better understanding of what this is, check out the first one. This week we talk the Bruins getting back on track, Joe Paterno, the NBA lockout, and more!
In addition to the Yahoo! Answers questions, you will also be able to submit your own questions or topics via email to [email protected] or through Twitter @TonyXypteras.
And away we go…
While Perusing though this week's Yahoo! Answers questions, I came across this little gem. I played soccer in high school, I consider myself a Revolution fan, and I still can't tell if this entire exchange is real or not… You be the judge.
At this point, I'm thinking "Alright, this is just a dumb question asked by a dumb person," but take a look at the answers …
Yahoo! Answers user "Alex" responds "So when we get tackled it doesn't hurt when our hair get pulled out. Yes it kills. Its like waxing your legs but for 90 minutes."
I ALMOST buy this answer. I haven't had this problem personally, but this next answer it just ridiculous..
Yahoo! Answers user "Becky:)" responds "I don't think its actually required and I don't think many do, but it would be for the same reason as competitive swimmers, to reduce resistance."
TO REDUCE RESISTANCE?? This can't be a real conversation. It just can't.
Anyway, back to reality…
I've talked about this in previous columns, but it finally looks like the B's are waking up. And how good has Tyler Seguin been? He has played at an elite level all year. There is still a lot of room for improvement though. That first line of Lucic-Krejci-Horton needs to be better.
But to answer the question more directly, I don't think it has anything to do with chemistry. If anything, maybe they relied on Mark Recchi a bit to much for his leadership. This team is not built to be a high scoring regular season team. This is a grind-it-out hard working playoff team, and as long as we make the playoffs we have a chance.
I'm not as upset this week as I was last week. The fact that this offense didn't score a single point in the first half in inexcusable, but it was a good football game that really just came down to who had the ball last. Sure, our terrible defense gifted them plenty of yards with the two pass interference calls, but the Giants made some big time plays as well.
The Patriots are a good football team, but when you have guys playing a level or two below where you expect them to (Devin McCourty, Albert Haynesworth, Chad Ochocinco, Shaun Ellis, Jerod Mayo, and the offensive line) we go from a good team to a slightly above average team. This team could miss the playoffs. Doesn't that sound crazy? I cannot stress enough how important this Jets game is.
And I hate listening to this garbage about how the Patriots needs a 'stretch the field' receiver. Their offense doesn't need a anything. This offense is way beyond championship level already. Have they struggled a bit lately? Absolutely. Is the defense the worst in the league? Yup. That's the biggest issue here.
I just don't understand the world view of some people. 'Joe Pa' is a disgrace. This whole story just makes me shake my head. I don't care if Paterno told his boss, clearly that wasn't good enough. Clearly that didn't stop what was happening.
Stories like this make me realize how sheltered I am. It's hard for me to even fathom how guys like Jerry Sandusky live with themselves.
'Greatest Heavyweights' for Sega Genesis. Smokin' Joe was my go to fighter.
Listening to everyone talk about how incredible the Ali-Frazier fights were makes me wish Boxing was still a relevant sport today.
I guess its time for my weekly lockout update. As of this moment (about 11pm Wednesday night) NBA and NBPA officials are meeting, and early reports from New York are pretty positive. I'm optimistic.
I'm hesitant to write something too specific because this thing could blow up at any minute. Hopefully we'll know more soon. I need me some basketball.
That will do it for this week. Feel free to answer or respond to these topics in the comment section below, or send in your own questions to [email protected] or via twitter @TonyXypteras.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: Notes From SAS Technology's Annual Analyst Summit
Posted by George Lawrie on July 7, 2008
I've recently returned from SAS Institute's Annual Analyst Event held June 23-24, 2008 in Monte Carlo. At this event, SAS leadership revealed a roadmap to amplify, with the most effective decision science yet developed, the judgment of professionals in a wide range of industries including retail and consumer goods. Forrester noted specific new science based processes, deployable without restrictions about legacy transaction applications for:
- Merchandise planning. The most critical decision in any consumer goods value chain is which merchandise to stock. But this decision, although ultimately driven in retail by the buyer's judgment, must draw on data and analytics that evaluate, based on historic demand) the relative likely revenue and margin resulting from different merchandise portfolios, and test the feasibility of the portfolios against constraints such as store space or labor availability or the firm's available working capital.
- Size optimization. For retailers selling footwear or apparel a statistical understanding of the distribution of sales by size by store is vital in order to meet consumers' needs and avoid mark downs and stock outs. It's well known that consumers' sizes vary from one region or country to another, with Norwegians for example in general being taller for example than Greeks but retailers need powerful sparse data analytics to plan for the differences in populations that visit urban and out of town stores.
- Space optimization. Retailers provide space in stores in proportion to their expect sales and margin for each merchandise item. But the complex tradeoffs between affinity items, with different margins and attracting different promotional funds simply demand an enterprise analytic approach rather than single user planning tools.
- Revenue optimization. For retail and CPG, decisions about pricing and mark downs are critical to the achievement of financial goals and while analytics are widely deployed to understand the likely overall impact for example of a promotion on volume and profit the real challenge is to solve simultaneously the merchandise assortment, pricing optimization and space management for each store within the retailers' supply chain and working capital constraints
- Pack optimization. Pack optimization balances the complex cost and velocity trade offs at different points in the supply chain between moving only highly aggregated quantities, for example pallets and shipping highly disaggregated units. For example single SKUs or Stock Keeping Units.
What does this mean for Process and Applications Professionals?
Process and Applications Professionals in retail and consumer goods industries have to deal with more data than ever. Hidden in tons of data are nuggets of information that hold the key to retail and CPG profit and survival — which merchandise (and which sizes) to place in which channels and stores at which prices and times. Yet most firms make these most business critical decisions, either with a tangle of planning spreadsheets or with the analytics provided by their transaction applications vendor of choice.
Forrester's take? Forrester believes that consumer goods planning processes, for the most part heterogeneous and ageing, are about to be transformed to take advantage of cheaper processing power, more accessible embedded analytics and more process standardization. Forrester invites its readers to take the confidential survey Forrester Research: Merchandizing Makeover, Q2 2008 to benchmark their "merchandizing makeover" plans against those of their peers. We are planning to publish the aggregate results of responses to the survey, together with an overview of "merchandizing makeover" technology options.

re: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: Notes From SAS Technology's Annual Analys
Comment from Greg Berry (not verified) on Tue, 08/19/2008 - 09:54
George,Thanks for the great summary. I couldn't agree with you more. As a consultant in digital media strategy, I've been working with several companies whose core business is about solving the data overload with some type of transformation technology, from data to information to knowledge to understanding to wisdom.Two of my clients are now focusing on the CPG space, and it's clear that these folks are deeply under the gun -- too much info too fast creates a real challenge to good analysis, rendering "BI" a bad metaphor for "black eye."I'm really interested in data visualization -- and in particular mapping -- to provide useful metaphors, and draw signal from the noise.I'd be interested in your perspective on something I wrote about one application for category managers in CPG companies -- http://blog.awhere.com/item/210591 -- which allows them to map their data, and review it in relation to updated demographic data, weather data and other custom info.I'll keep track of your blog, and see what else your team is saying about CPG.

Thanks Oldswimmer!Originally Posted by oldswimmer
If you look closely at the pattern, you will see it purely consists of 4 patches made from 2" squares and HST's made from 4" squares, trimmed back to 3.5" after stitching and cutting apart to form two identical HST's. These are laid out in a 9 patch formation with 3 - 4 patches running diagonally through the middle then the HST's with the dark side touching the 4 patches and the two opposite corners with the dark side turned out which form a diamond when four blocks are laid together! No pattern, just play! Here's a picture of someblocks just lay out when I was 'playing' in the beginning!

text: The thing I love best about the Hoover, is that I can go over an area as many times as I want and squirt as much cleaning solution as I want, then the Hoover sucks up the dirty water. I am shocked every time I use it as to how much dirt is on the floor. Prior to buying the machine, I had started to notice a musty odor when I came into the house. After using the Hoover, that smell has gone away. I figure it was the nasty kitchen flloor. I knew I didn't scrub it as often as needed, because it was such a job. No big deal now. My friend had one for several years and kept telling me I needed to buy one, but I didn't want to spend the money. Now I could kick myself for waiting.

Thievery and other literary pursuits
In his extremely questionable poem "Song of Fairies Robbing an Orchard," Leigh Hunt notes:
Stolen sweets are always sweeter,
Stolen kisses much completer,
Stolen looks are nice in chapels,
Stolen, stolen, be your apples.
Like Eve, he had to mention the apples.
If old Leigh were alive and stealing today, he'd be sneaking through the shelves at Border's (too soon?), on the hunt for titles by Bukowski and Burroughs. Those authors' books are among the most frequently pilfered, according to a Publishers' Weekly roundup.
The piece quotes a New York Observer article:
But when I called up a Barnes & Noble to see if they had a couple of Bukowski titles I was looking for, one of the clerks told me that in order to check I'd have to call one of the cashiers, because all of the Bukowskis had been removed from the open shelves and were kept on a shelf behind the cashier's desks–out of reach, in other words, of shoplifters.

Maxi Pads Do More Than Live Between A Woman's Legs
If you've ever wondered what a menstrual pad does when it's not between a woman's legs, this video might help provide an answer to that crucial question. In this video for Seventh Generation's chlorine-free feminine products, a guy dressed as a pad goes about his innocuous daily routine just so we can all feel...well...according to the press release "at ease with the topic of periods." Not that anyone educated past grade nine should really have a burning phobia about feminine hygiene but apparently some do, hence the creation of the supposedly educational video. Either that or it's some sick fantasy for guys who like nothing better than to spend the entire day between a woman's legs.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
— From Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"
In an office on the second floor of the Business Technology building at St. Joseph's Long Island Campus sits a very mild-mannered gentleman in casual business attire. His office is full of family photos and the different places that he has been. He is Alan Vitters, Ph.D., assistant professor of business administration and accounting, and retired United States Army colonel.
Dr. Vitters has taken the road less traveled, and he believes that it really has made all the difference. "In some respects I think that that's very typical of my life," Dr. Vitters says after quoting the poem by Robert Frost.
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Northport, Dr. Vitters spent 24 years in the armed forces, during which he was awarded two Meritorious Service Medals, seven Air Medals, three Bronze Stars with valor and merit, the Combat Infantry Badge, the Soldier's Medal, the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, the Legion of Merit and a Meritorious Unit Commendation.
As humble today as he was when he began his career with the U.S. Army at the age of 18, Dr. Vitters reflects back on his initial decision to join the Army and apply to the United States Military Academy for his college education.
"I think what initially drove me there was the idea of being a whole person," he says. "In other words, being in an environment where you pursued academic things, athletic sports and physical conditioning — and also a spiritual environment as well."
According to Dr. Vitters, the words of then-President John F. Kennedy also aided in his decision. "He was talking about serving your country," he says, "and 'ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.' That whole idea, that whole spirit, kind of said that maybe a military career was for me, and all of those things were in my head at the time as an 18-year-old."
In the Army, Dr. Vitters served as a platoon leader in the 82nd Airborne Division and as a platoon leader and company commander in Vietnam. From 1971 to 1973, he was commander of the Honor Guard in Washington, D.C., directing the casket team for the state funerals of former Presidents Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. He later served on the faculty at West Point in the Department of Behavioral Science and Leadership from 1975-1978, and commanded the 4th Battalion, 54th Infantry at Fort Knox, Ky., from 1983 to 1985.
After retiring from the Army in 1992, Dr. Vitters taught a junior ROTC program in Florida. "When I retired, I knew that I wanted to go into teaching," Dr. Vitters says. "It's a great way to make a difference in young people's lives."
After returning to Long Island, he began to look around for colleges that would be a good fit for him, regarding his teaching experiences and his military background.
"St. Joe's chose me," he says, "and I very much enjoy being here with the St. Joe's student body."
Now in his ninth year as an SJC instructor, Dr. Vitters teaches at the undergraduate and graduate levels in organizational management. "I'm drawn to the teaching mission here, I really enjoy teaching and being with the students, I hope that I can make a difference in their lives," he says.
During the academic year, Dr. Vitters teaches seven courses and brings his military, leadership and teamwork experiences to the classroom as a teaching aid. "I like to think that we are seeding Long Island with world-class innovative concepts for management, and I like to be a part of that," he says.
He is also involved in the Armed Force Association on the Long Island Campus.
"St. Joe's has a great tradition now of helping military students and it's a very military-friendly campus," he says, noting that there are about 180 military-connected students now involved at SJC in one way or another. Dr. Vitters has been the moderator of the group since its inception five years ago.
The club holds events raising awareness of the hardships soldiers endure, such as movie nights and hosting keynote speakers, including World War II veterans. It also serves as a social function for its members who periodically gather to watch the Army-Navy game and other events.
"We've been doing some fundraising for the Wounded Warrior Project and also sponsoring events that will spark people's awareness of what the military is all about and the sacrifices that military people make," he says.
Dr. Vitters offers what he called the "three ingredients to success in any organization" for students. The elements are focus, feeling and time.
"You've got to learn to focus on the areas that really matter and have feeling for what you do, try to find a match between your skill set and your interests and the kinds of positions that you want to go into," he says.
"My last bit of advice would be that they should be adaptable, and should prepare to give a lot of time. To be successful it's not a 9-to-5 job with anybody today."

Josephine Meckseper, Manhattan Oil Project
Black gold near the crossroads of the world?

NFL Draft > 2007 Prospects > OG > Arron Sears
Arron Sears Scouting Report
|Tennessee Volunteers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'4 - 320 lbs.
2007 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Arron Sears, OG, Tennessee
The former Tennessee Volunteer has plenty of obvious strengths and weaknesses. Let's get the weaknesses out of the way first. Sears is not fleet of foot, nor is he very agile; so he will most likely spend his time in the NFL at guard, even though he played left tackle most of the time in Knoxville. He also has some durability concerns, having endured a toe injury and some recurring ankle issues. Sears also comes with some character baggage; he received illegal gifts from a furniture store in college. Here's guessing that NFL brass won't be too concerned with that situation. On the plus side, Sears has good size (6-4, 320) and uses it to his advantage. He is not an overpowering pass-blocker, but Sears (at times) overpowered collegiate defensive lineman and he could eventually emerge as a premier run-blocker at the next level. NFL scouts should also like his playing experience: three full years as a starter in the SEC and played every position on the line other than center at one point in his college career. Sears is looking like a solid second-rounder on draft day.

Moko the friendly dolphin is on the move again, turning up yesterday in the port of Tauranga.
Moko rejoined the fishing boat Eskdale, which he followed out of Gisborne at the start of the year and trailed it from Whale Island off the coast of Whakatane to Tauranga early yesterday.
Eskdale was unloading in Tauranga today before setting out on a five-day fishing trip.
The Eskdale crew believes Moko is attracted to the boat because they play loud music when fishing.
In the middle of January, Moko followed the Eskdale from the East Coast to Whakatane and had been hanging out there ever since.
Whakatane Moko minder Kirsty Carrington said Moko had not been seen in the river there since the heavy rain this week.

Meehan's purposeful ambiguity turns the images into Rorschach tests — or boobytraps — for racial and class-based stereotypes. Our reactions can tell us something about ourselves — if we're self-aware enough — but I keep wanting to know who these people really are and what is really going on.
Meehan began the project to help herself figure out and navigate her hometown's seismic shifts. But via community forums and public exhibits (including enlarging several of them into banners and displaying them on Brockton buildings over the past year), the goal has expanded to helping Brockton better see itself. Ultimately, it's about how this understanding can foster a more harmonious, more vital community. So knowing what's really going on in the photos matters. Because we need help getting past our assumptions and biases, to really understand the situation, the bad and good, if we're going to do this community thing better.

text: New WRX owner here, was wondering if ya'll could tell me around what RPM the turbo begins to start boosting.. Based on driving it (for only 1 week now) i would imagine its about 3500, but that seems a little high seeing as my previous car (GTI 1.8T) used to boost at around 2000, but i guess i have to remember it was a much smaller turbo running on a 1.8L engine rather than a 2.5L. So , 3500 for boost, confirm/deny? Thanks in advance, im trying to save on gas mileage here.

Hi, I'm a 26 year old female that lives in TN. I've been on Bactrim since high school where we tried all the cycline family, with topicals, etc. I never got cysts, just breakouts that were annoying, so my dermatologists put me on Bactrim and it has helped every since; however if I stop it the breakouts will return. I am concerned about being on this antibiotic long term and would love to quit taking anything for my face, but I don't know what to do. Thanks.
Age 26, and Bactrim is the Only Effective Med. Worried About the Antibiotic in the Long-run?

Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz says school districts will have to continue to conduct referendums to seek tax increases until the Indiana Legislature changes the school funding formula. She made the comments during several stops in Lake and Porter Counties. Ritz told educators at the Hammond Area Career Center that "you have to spend money to get money." She thinks that many voters in areas where school district referendums failed may not have been aware of the issue. The state school superintendent says she encourages the school districts whose referendums did not pass, to try again during the next election. Knox was one such school. Local voters rejected a property tax increase to pay for construction of a new $16 million elementary school wing. The Knox Community School Board has not indicated whether they plan to pursue the issue again during next year's regular election cycle. In the meantime, Ritz says she will help the schools in any way she can. Ritz addressed members of the Professional Educators Partnership at Valparaiso University.
School Referendum Voted Down in Special Election
The school referendum question offered by the Knox Community School Corporation did not pass in Tuesday's special election.
The final vote found 556 voters against the property tax increase and 458 votes in favor of the construction and rehabilitation project at the Knox Elementary School.
Inheritance Tax Repeal Appeals to Farm Bureau Members
Members of the Starke County Farm Bureau attended the organization's annual meeting this week and heard Director of State Government Relations, Bob Kraft, talk about legislative successes this year.
Kraft talked about the success in the repeal of the inheritance tax.
"Probably the most noteworthy was the passing of the Inheritance Tax repeal," said Kraft. "This has been a priority of Farm Bureau for years and years. All of a sudden all of the chips fell where they needed to and the Inheritance Tax will be phased out beginning in 2013."

A judge ruled Tuesday that a special prosecutor should be appointed in the case of a Steamboat Springs man charged with vehicular assault.
Eric Thomas Sullivan, 31, was arrested July 9 on two counts of vehicular assault, a Class 4 felony, after he lost control of the vehicle he was driving and injured the two passengers he had with him. Police think alcohol was a factor in the accident.
Sullivan is the son of Routt County Manager Tom Sullivan. Assistant District Attorney Kerry St. James requested a special prosecutor to remove any potential conflicts of interest.
Judge James Garrecht agreed with the request and appointed the Glenwood Springs District Attorney's Office to handle the case.
Eric Sullivan was driving a 1994 Jeep Wrangler on June 15 on Buffalo Pass Road when he lost control of the vehicle and it rolled 1 1/4 times, ejecting all three occupants, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Passengers Cheryl Mae Gartz, 20, and Tohna Mari Nadu, 29, both of Steamboat Springs, were injured in the accident. Gartz was flown to Denver Health Medical Center, where she remained in the Intensive Care Unit for two weeks before being released July 7. Nadu was treated and released from Yampa Valley Medical Center on the day of the accident.
Court documents show that Eric Sullivan's blood-alcohol content was 0.195 when it was taken after the accident. He was arrested and later was released on $5,000 bond.
Colorado State Patrol Officer Melissa Remner investigated the accident.
Tom Sullivan said that he did not know what St. James' reasons were for removing himself from the case and did not see how his position had anything to do with his son's case.
"My role with Routt County has nothing to do with Eric's case," Tom Sullivan said. "My son is 31 years old, and he will have to suffer the consequences of the decisions he made."
Eric Sullivan's attorney, Cheryl Hardy-Moore, said that having special prosecution represent a case such as this is not unusual and that it alleviates the concern that Eric Sullivan would receive any special treatment during his case because his father works for the county.
Sullivan will appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 24.

Pope Names: The 10 Most Popular Pontifical Monikers
As the world waits for the name of the new pope, predictions are flying about what moniker the next pontiff will adopt.
The leaders of the early church kept their birth names, but starting in 533 AD many heads of the church began taking new names after their election. The first pope to do so, Pope John II, gave up his baptismal name Mercurius because of its pagan roots.
That's not to say there have been no popes with pagan names. There was even a Pope Dionysius in the third century AD, although, to be fair, the name was very common during the period. Dionysus was the ancient Roman god of drunkenness and ecstatic ritual.
UPDATE: Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected Pope on Wednesday and took the name Francis. He is the first Pope from the Americas.
Doubles names, such as John Paul, are a relatively new innovation. The first to take a double name was John Paul I in 1978.
A new pope can take any name he wishes, but tradition dictates that Peter is off limits. While a new pope isn't officially banned from using the name of the Catholic Church's first leader, only antipopes (those not officially recognized by the Vatican) have ever claimed Peter.
Generally, a new pope chooses a new based on a papacy he wishes to pay tribute to or imitate.
Check out the 10 most popular papal names in the slideshow below and share your predictions on what moniker the new pope will choose in the comments.
Eight popes total. Pope Urban VIII pictured.
Eight popes total (almost nine) as Pope Boniface VII was an antipope. Pope Boniface IX pictured.
Nine popes, or eight depending on your counting. The first Pope Stephen died before he could be made a bishop and so isn't on all the official papal lists. Pope Stephen IX pictured.
Twelve popes total. Pope Pius XII pictured.
Thirteen popes total. Pope Leo XIII pictured.
Thirteen popes total. Pope Innocent XIII pictured.
Fourteen popes total. Pope Clement XIV pictured.
Fifteen popes total (almost 16) as Pope Benedict X was an antipope. Pope Benedict XVI pictured.
Sixteen popes total. Pope Gregory XVI pictured.
Twenty-one popes total. Pope John XXIII pictured.
