What are these mysterious indexes that people always seem to use to solve performance problems? The basic answer is that they are like an index on a book. You can find out what page number you need to go to quickly, instead of thumbing through the entire book looking for a particular subject. In SQL terminology, indexes let us get to the data we need a lot faster. Let's look at a basic example below.
Imagine you have a list of fruits and prices as we see in the below table:
If I needed to return all of the prices for Apples, the computer would need to read through each line to determine if it were an Apple. This would cause 6 reads to return 1 line of data. If we were to put everything in order based on the Fruit name, this might save us some time.
Now that we know everything is in order, we can do a "binary search" to speed up our searching. If we look at the middle row, it is Orange. The letter A comes before the letter O, so let's only search on the top half of our results for the Apple data sets (rows 1 - 3) and look at the middle row again. It returns Grapefruit, so let's again only look in the top half of our search (row 1), which gives us the Apple row. This would have taken 3 reads (including the one that returned the Apple row) instead of 6.
With so few rows, this would not be very noticeable. Imagine if you were dealing with a million rows, how much faster would searching utilizing an index be. Now SQL does a much more logical searching outside of "binary searches" that speed up returning results, but I just wanted to get you in the right mindset to see how beneficial indexes can be. If you are interested in how it really works, hop over to Wikipedia a look at the Balanced Tree article.
Indexes can be added in 2 ways, either through the GUI editor (SQL Management Studio/Query Analyzer) or through SQL code. Sometimes adding indexes can take awhile if the table is large, so I tend to write them all through SQL code because I get nervous when the GUI editor hangs for awhile. But if you would like to add them in an editor like SQL Management Studio, just right click on the table and go through the options to add it.
To add a basic index on our table above (lets call the table FruitPrices) to order the Fruit column, you would write the code as follows:
CREATE INDEX (Index Name) ON (Table name) (Columns separated by commas)
CREATE INDEX IDX_Fruit ON FruitPrices (Fruit)
Now you might have heard about multi-column indexes and clustered indexes. These are very important to be aware of because they add to your toolbox of optimizations.
A multi-column index will do pretty much what it sounds like, order the index by multiple columns. In our above example, let's say we needed to get all of the Oranges that were less than $.75. We would want our index to be written as follows.
CREATE INDEX IDX_Fruit_Prices ON FruitPrices (Fruit, Prices)
Did you notice how everything is first in order by Fruit and then in order by Price? This will let us find all of the Oranges quickly, then search through that data set to find the prices we need quickly.
The indexes we were previously talking about do not re-arrange the physical location of the table data, but add in another data set that is organized on we specified. If we want to re-arrange our physical data, we need to create a Clustered Index. With regular indexes, you can have an indefinite amount, but with Clustered Indexes there can be only 1. When you think about it you can only arrange physical data in 1 specific way, just like the pages in a book. This allows for even faster searching, because SQL can search right off the table instead of searching through an index that points to the data we need.
Here is the syntax to add a Clustered Index:
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX (Index Name) ON (Table name) (Columns separated by commas)
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX IDX_FRUIT ON FruitPrices (Fruit)

Date of Stay: October, 2013
This is a very nice park, well maintained and large sites. We agree with many of the positive comments made by other reviewers, so there is not much need to parrot their comments. I will say that the Wi-Fi was very good here, which was appreciated. We stayed for 6 days and we were in the pull-thrus at the back of the park. The small storage shed that is provided is a nice feature, but we wouldn't use ours as it was very dirty and full of spider webs, to include a black widow spider in the back right corner. It had not been maintained by management for a very long time. Also, the available power was not quite up to par. We had to be mindful of what we had running or our voltage would drop below 110v. This was the worse at peak use times, in the morning and early evening. A park this new and this nice should not have this problem. But you can see from my other reviews, this is a fairly common problem. But not everywhere. We are in Nevada at a park now that we never see our voltage drop below 114v, and it is a large park. So it can be done, and parks should be more aware of this problem which can cause serious problems for your coach appliances. Water pressure was good.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
The park is in an ok area, although traffic noise is really bad. The sites are nice and big and you can enter the pull-through sites from either direction, which is nice. The park is well maintained and clean. It really is a nice park. What makes this park horrible is the management's unwillingness to deal with problem people in the park. There are at least two full-time families with younger children. The parents don't monitor or discipline their kids. They run through your site, play with your hook-ups and climb on your vehicles. They are totally out of control. Contacting the parents about their children (nicely) you will be met with obscenities and hostility. Contacting the management was a waste of time, and they did nothing to improve the situation. I was told "this is a family park, and so there are children here". I explained I had no problem with children that behaved, and I didn't see this as a child problem, but rather a parental and management problem. Needless to say, the problem was not resolved, and we went to the neighboring RV park. If this problem was rectified, we would pick this RV park as our favorite in the area. But as it stands now, it's our last choice.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
We stayed here for about 3 months. This is a wonderful park with a great staff. The park is clean and well maintained. The staff is very quick to get onto any problems that arise. My only negative comment is about the sewer hook-ups. The sewer hook-ups are on a concrete pedestal. The pedestal is too high and causes a slower drainage. Other than that, it's a great park. We like it so much we will be wintering here this year.
Date of Stay: December, 2012
This is a wonderful park, but if you require restrooms, laundry, swimming pool, etc. it is not the park for you, as there are none. The park is clean and spots are clean underfoot. There is nothing extra but the spots. The Wi-Fi here is good, a little slow, but stable and adequate. Management is a wonderfully nice woman and really goes out of her way to be helpful. There is plenty of shade. Road noise could be a problem if you are close to the highway. Further back from the highway, the noise is mitigated well by the trees and structures. Voltage was only slightly low, but never became a problem. In the two weeks we were there, only one morning was low voltage a problem. That was the only day the park was full, and in the morning, voltage dipped a little. But the rest of the time we were there we had no problems with low voltage. We would definitely stay at this park again. Price reflects a daily rate for our two week stay.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
The listed rate reflects a monthly rate of 450.00. The good things about this park first. The park grounds are well kept up. The park is set in a wooded area and is very quiet and pleasant here. Interior roads and spots are gravel, but enough gravel that dust is low. There are many year round campers here, and all seemed very friendly. Management is friendly and helpful. The camp store has a small but has a decent selection of food and non-food items. The bad comments are few for this park. Management won't allow washing of RVs. They have a low voltage problem in the park, but not as bad as some of the parks up in the Northeast. We had to pay attention to the voltage level in the RV during peak use. We had to run our hot water heater on propane. Also, many of the year round campers mentioned above live in cheap RVs provided by management. These RVs are older and dirty. These RVs take away from the overall beauty of the park. We would stay at the park again.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
We stayed in this park for a month while touring the area. I will start out with the good points of the park. The owner/manager is a great guy and has good customer service skills. He was always helpful and courteous. The park is kept up reasonably well. The spots are somewhat secluded. WiFi coverage was reasonable, and in other than peak use times was ok speed wise. In peak use times, the WiFi was very slow. Now the bad. The electrical in the park is substandard. We had to deal with low voltage issues all the time. Also the 50amp outlets are not protected by circuit breakers, which makes hooking to power difficult when plugging in. Also this creates no protection from the plug-in to the RV breaker box in the event of a problem. The sites are very dirty under foot. Now it is important to remember this is a "campground" not an "RV park/resort," so there is less improvements in the sites. But ours was not graveled as some are, which made the sandy soil a constant dirty problem. Also the grade of the site was such that when we got rain, the area outside our step was flooded with 3-5 inches of water. This could have been prevented with just a little work with grading. The spots are average in size, until we were told the spots were for two RVs. This would have been ridiculous if someone was to park next to us in the spot, as there would have been less than 36" between the RVs. We had several problems with our mail being delivered here. One time an attempt was made to deliver the mail and a note was left with the office the package was at the post office. We were never told by the office, we learned via the internet. Finally, the biggest problem was with one of their employees. I won't name him here, but he had no customer service skills, and was arrogant, condescending, and very rude. And to top it off, he was the employee to greet us. Needless to say he didn't make a very good first impression. We will never stay here again, and cannot recommend the park to anyone.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
First I will start off with the good points of the park. The spots are large, and clean under foot as you are parking in a grassy area. The WiFi is very good, with good speed and signal. The park is quiet and well lighted at night. They do have a lot of activities, but we didn't engage in any as we were there for a base point for our sight-seeing, and didn't have time to take part in the activities. We had some very heavy rains while there, but the ground drains very well with little or no puddling. Now the bad. First the electric is insufficient. We had a 50amp hook-up, but based on the low voltage problem we had, it appears they just added 50 amp plugs and didn't account for the added load of those using 50 amp. Keeping our voltage at a safe level was a bit of a dance. And on weekends when the park filled up, we had to put our fridge and hot water heater on propane, amongst other tactics to keep from dropping below 110 volts. The sewer system has a problem. It can't handle a full 70 gallon black tank without bubbling up through the neighbors sewer hook-up. There was no laundry, we were told because someone wanted their washers and dryers back, not sure what that was about. The first impression upon arrival is one that made us consider leaving before checking-in. Lots of junky trailers, and trashy structures. We will not stay here again and can't recommend it to others. We stayed in a fifth wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We stayed here for a week in August. The park is very nice and located close to the Badlands National Park. The staff are very nice and attentive to the RVers needs. The sites are level and although gravel, not very dirty underfoot. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely say here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We stayed here for 3 nights. They have nice long stalls, and reasonable distance between your neighbors. The park is well maintained, and clean. WiFi was ok, but slower than what the current standard is at RV parks. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We stayed here for 3 nights. The staff are nice and very helpful. They went out of their way to get us into a spot that allowed us to stay hitched up. WiFi is very fast early in the morning and late at night. But during peak hours, 10am to 7pm the WiFi system can't handle the load. Frequently it was so bad we couldn't even get on. If we did get on the speed was horrible, and even got bumped off. I spoke to management about the issue and he confessed the system wasn't up to the load. We would stay here again, but we would do so knowing that we would need to use our own internet system.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
We have stayed here before and typically have been happy with out stay. The trees in the park need to be trimmed back in many areas in the park. Rubbing limbs down the side of your coach is very likely throughout. The WiFi is hit and miss. When it is working good, the speed is minimally adequate. When it is working in it's usual manner, speed is poor. Management acknowledged the WiFi needs to be upgraded. This is the same acknowledgement we got the previous year with no change in the system. The park is clean, and maintained well, (except for the trees as mentioned earlier). Management needs to learn what a clock is. Several times during out stay the office was to open at 9am and didn't open until 5-20 minutes late. With the other choices in Clarkston, we don't know if we will stay here in the future unless they trim their trees.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
I have been RVing for 40 years and this park's customer service is clearly the best of any other park we have stayed at. The staff are very very friendly and willing to help with anything. Several of the RVers in the park had issues with their rigs over the month we stayed there and the staff was there to help if anyone asked. In fact they would drive by and always ask if there was a way they could be of help. When they had time they delivered mail to our rig, which was a quite a ways from the office. Also we had an issue come up with an item that might be delivered in the mail after we left the park and they were very willing to work with us. The park is clean and well maintained. The concrete pads are perfectly level. I have only one complaint. They don't allow washing of rigs in the park. They do have a company that will wash your rig, but I have had damage done to my rig so I'm the only one that will wash and wax my rig. I was able to confirm this is a water cost issue, so I believe they should offer the ability to pay a reasonable fee to wash your own rig. We stayed for the month of October, and their monthly rate was reasonable for the area. We will definitely stay at this park again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
We stayed overnight here as we made our way south. We were very displeased with the park. All the interior roads and spaces are gravel and very very dirty. The spaces are very out of level; ours required 4 inches of lift to the side and over 6 inches in the front. The staff was friendly and the park was quiet. If we end up paying the high rate we did at this KOA, we expect it to have level spots and not so dirty under foot. We won't stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
We stayed over one night at this park, but loved it so much, when we return to the area for a sight-seeing stay we will stay here. Very nice park, well kept, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. At night the park is so quiet it was incredible. Also being away from city lights, if you are into star gazing you will love this place. The only downside to this park is the 1/2 mile drive on gravel. It got our 5er pretty dirty in just that short distance.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
The value of the park is lacking. Although not a dumpy park, it is sub-par with the price attached. What really chapped us is we made reservations for a month stay 6 months in advance. The price we were quoted was the same as the web page. We gave a down payment of 50.00 and got a receipt later in the mail, again with the same monthly amount. When we arrived, we were charged 50.00 more than what we had documents for, and when confronted on the discrepancy, we were told that an employee made a mistake. We checked the web page after that conversation and it STILL showed the lesser amount. I confronted the manager later about this and she still would not honor the price we were quoted. The park is clean, and the facilities are well maintained. We won't stay in this park again due to the lack of customer service with respect the bait and switch on the price. Also, the majority of the spaces are not level and no concrete patio areas. Also, the WiFi is useless.

Ravalli Co. commissioners keep appointed treasurer for now
HAMILTON, Mont. - Ravalli County commissioners took advice from their county attorney to "proceed with caution," and made no move Thursday to file official misconduct charges against embattled Treasurer Valerie Stamey.
Commissioners met with the county attorney about an investigation, finding no evidence in Stamey's allegations against other county officials, or of wrongdoing in the treasurer's office.
The county attorney is waiting for information from an independent audit.
So, for now, Stamey remains on paid administrative leave.
The question was whether to remove Stamey from office, and possibly file official misconduct charges against her.
The board approved a lawsuit against the treasurer for failing to get financial reports out on time. That lawsuit has yet to be filed.
Commissioners wanted perspective from County Attorney Bill Fulbright on the still incomplete audit, and the investigation that found little merit in Stamey's allegations. Fulbright advised prudence and caution.
"To jump in and say that answers all questions," he said, "I don't think it answers all the questions until we have answers from the auditing firm."
Fulbright recognized public frustration at the mounting expense of keeping the treasurer, and of investigation costs that have now risen to $50,000.
Commissioners Jeff Burrows, Greg Chilcott and J.R. Iman expressed frustration. But in the end they took no action. They all have said it was a mistake to appoint Stamey.
"There isn't anybody in their life who hasn't taken a dose of dumb," said commissioner Iman, "but we don't want to be stupid."
But many who attended Thursday's public hearing said there is enough evidence to file the lawsuit, stop paying Stamey, and remove her from her appointed office.
"Were the duties being neglected?" asked Bitterroot Star newspaper owner Michael Howell. "Yes," he said. "Is that legal? No."
"Don't put things off like a bad toothache," said Hamilton resident Ren Cleveland.
Stamey said she is working with Mary Hudson Smith, the elected treasurer, who quit her job after two months in office.
Stamey said they both suffered intimidation and sabotage in office. Workers in the treasuer's office dispute those charges.
So far, Ravalli County has paid Stamey $10,000 in wages, spent $14,000 on a retired treasurer from Beaverhead County to get the office back in order, and $1,300 in overtime and additional hires during the crisis.

Our first great excitement was when we found out that not only was there a polo match on while we were in town ..
Next up was steak and tango! We'd had a recommendation for a steak house which turned out to be a few blocks from where we were staying. We nearly had a family argument before we'd even managed to get an order in though when Gordon & Richard wanted to order extra portions of chips and the rest of us said they wouldn't be necessary. In a mature and sensible way they insisted that yes we would order THREE sets of chips and yes they would eat every single chip that was left over. Needless to say we had plenty of food but took great pleasure in making them polish off every last one. As well as chips, the restaurant (the Gran Parrilla del Plata) served us steaks that were not only cooked perfectly, which is to say not very cooked at all (bizarrely we'd found steak in Argentina often overcooked- no matter what you said), but up there with the best steaks we've ever had
So polo, steak and tango; tick, tick, tick. Final thing on our list was football! Unfortunately Boca Juniors were away the weekend we were in town but River Plate were playing a Mendozan team and we managed to get tickets. Another friend from university, Anna (aka Little Anna), had also come to join us by now so we were quite a crowd. Having got to the stadium past ranks and ranks of riot police with huge tear gas guns, giant horses and what were basically tanks, we found that about 95% of the stadium were River fans making an absolute racket, and we were in the thick of them and soon trying to sing along to the songs and chants (Vamos Vamos Vamos Vamos River Plate!). The game started well with a goal to River and the stadium went mad. So far, though, there was none of the madness and general nastiness we'd heard about at Argentinian football games, until at half time Poppy and Sarah went to look at the view out the back of the stadium only to have people shout at them to stand back
In amongst the sport and eating we did manage to see a little of BA with a spot of shopping, trips to the cemetery, Boca, strolling San Telmo's markets and generally (despite the hangovers and sporting results) had a fantastic family Argentinian Easter weekend. Although we're still annoyed we couldn't find Hot Cross Buns.

|Middle School: From The Mentors
From Ashlee
Middle school...oh, the memories! Here are the pluses:
Here are my minuses:
This is my little middle school story: On the first day, I was totally nervous. Standing at the bus stop, I was with one guy that seemed like he was two feet taller than I was -- a "big middle school guy." I got on the bus not knowing more than three people, and they weren't even my friends. When I got to school, I felt like it was a zoo! So many halls and classes, and I didn't know my way around or any of these people. Ay! I found my homeroom and there were two of my good friends, which was comforting. My homeroom teacher, who also turned out to be my English teacher the year after and a great friend to this day, made everything really easy for everyone. She explained everything and answered any and every question. Eventually, I made so many new friends in all my classes, it was great. And one of my biggest recommendations...get involved! Student council, sports, clubs, everything. The only losers are the ones who let life, liberty, and the pursuit of fun pass them by. Besides, you'll meet more people and teachers, go on lots of field trips, and all sorts of other good stuff. All and all, a big part of me wishes I were still in middle school. :-)

Auckland: Darren Sammy made an unbeaten 43 from 27 balls to help the West Indies to a two-wicket win over New Zealand in the series-opening limited-overs international on Thursday, helping the tourists rebound from their 2-0 Test series defeat.
The win, completed in only 27.3 overs when the West Indies reached 157 for 8 in reply to New Zealand's 156, overshadowed the return to international cricket after two years of New Zealand opener Jesse Ryder, who made a five-ball duck and dropped a catch.
Sammy held together the lower part of the West Indies innings, battering three sixes and five fours to guide his team home after Mitchell McClenaghan had taken 5 for 58 for New Zealand.

Stoner Andy's Faceyspace Blues
Hey, man! So like I totally started one of those Faceyspace pages, dude… and it's like all… social and stuff. I'm finding out about things in people's lives I never knew. For instance, one of Motorhead's interests is Celtic interpretive dance… I, like–had no idea, man. Also, I recently sent my grandma (who's, basement I live in, man) a friend request… and she declined it, which was like.. uh… a bummer, man.
Apparently, you can farm with this Faceyspace somehow… but, like I'm not sure what kind of horticulture you can do, dude. I'm interested in a very specific kind of botanic farming, man… if you catch my drift. So, overall–I think Faceyspace is pretty cool, but I worry that like.. that Zack Markerburg guy might like, totally be keeping tabs on us just like some kind of crazy big brother government secret organization, man. What was your question?

This piece explores the idea of choice~
Chatting, strolling home,
We pass down winter streets,
Tall dark figure lurches towards us.
Negotiation is futile.
Alcohol has vaporized his heart.
You stride foward, as you always have,
Surging past me with your certainty.
"Don't turn around, keep up!"
But your warnings fall on deaf ears.
My feet cannot fill you open footsteps.
My legs cannot move at your pace.
Only born 22 days apart.
But forever 3 steps behind.
In another life, I could choose to be that man,
Chasing your steps, never finding mine.
Time has led us to a crossroads.
Feet rooted in reality, we turn,
to face each other and our future paths:
You wave goodbye, I wish good luck.
I cannot follow your path.
But I will not follow his path.
One Choice;My Choosing.
Tentative steps,
then lengthening strides
breaking into a run,
Pulse pounds.
I fill my lungs with Breath and Life.
I fill my own footsteps.

Ok, I am looking for an EDC in 45 that I will carry everyday. I am now carrying a Kahr CW9 which I like, but would rather move up in caliber. I own a Para 14 and a CZ 75 compact in 9mm. I have yet to find a 9mm that I like better than my CZ so the rest of my guns will be 45! Anywho, I am looking to spend about$600.00. I have looked at the SA GI micro, SA XD 45 compact, and the Para Hawg. I know in this price range it will be tough but I prefer 3 dot sights with the option of adding night sights. I am not opposed to used and any recommendations would be appreciated.

If you can find one, the Rock Island compacts are nice, and you'd have some money left. Now, noting that I believe if you carry a .45 it should be in JMB's pistol, the Sig 220 may be what you're looking for. You can find CPO which are used pistols that Sig has inspected and replaced any worn parts and all springs then refinished if needed. You get a basically new pistol for used gun price.

Glock 30!
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
A Glock 36. About the same size as the smallest 1911 type .45s, as thin, but lighter, reliable, longer barrel & sight radius than similar size 1911 type .45s.
I think the PM45 will cost more than your limit, but one of the other Kahr .45s might not.
A Taurus PT145 Mil Pro. Surprisingly accurate for a gun that's shorter than a Glock 26. It's a little thicker & not as light as the Glock 36, but it holds 10+1 rounds of .45.

I carry a GI Micro, very happy with it. The trigger was a bit stiff at 6 lbs but just had a nice 4 lb trigger job done.
Some discussion here...

Given your description of what you want in a .45 for CCW and the fact that you now carry a polymer frame Kahr, I think a Glock 30 would suit you very well. The G30 is very reliable and compact, weighing 24 ounces empty with a 3.8 inch barrel and 10 round magazine. You can see many of them listed on Gunbroker either new or slightly used in the $550 to $600 range, often with the night sights that you want.
Here is one with a $555 buy it now price without night sights:

I like my Colt officers for single stack grip and my Para P-12 for a high capacity .45 acp. Finding good used ones should fit your budget.
I haven't priced any lately. Paid around $600 for my Colt, (new) around 22 years ago and close to $700 for the Para (new) over 15 years ago.
(The steel frames soak up recoil in those 3 1/2 inch .45's making them easy to shoot rapid fire.)
Besides, I just think that the .45 acp is just meant to go in a 1911 style gun.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
If you are already carrying a Kahr CW9 I would suggest you get a P45.
I have a PM9 and soon I will finish paying off my P45. There is nothing wrong with the 9mm, if you do your part and use good ammunition and shot placement.
The reason I suggest another Kahr is because that is a Trigger that you are already used to and the weapon's functioning would be the same between the two. There would be no need to learn anything different.
BTW, I picked up my LNIB, unfired P45 for $460. Look around, they are out there. Mine was bought by a guy that took it home, had it for about an hour, then took it back to the shop and traded it in for something else.
+1 on the G30.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
You might find a Kahr .45 within your price range. If you do, seriously consider it.
After a Kahr, I'd still recommend the Glock 36. It weighs 20.11 oz. empty, 26.99 oz. loaded. Basically, it's less than an oz. heavier than a Glock 26, just as thin through the slide, & thinner through the grip.
A friend & I went to the range & ran a bunch of ammo through our guns. I tried his G-30 (I have a G-36). The difference was incredible. After handling the 36, other Glocks feel like bricks, & I've owned a number of Glocks over the last 11 yrs.

then I would second the Glock-36...slim...light...smaller grip than other Bricks, I mean Glocks...
If a 1911 could be a consideration then a Kimber Ultra in .45 would be a great EDC!

Hawaii state officials say they have closed a popular hiking trail along Kauai's north shore in anticipation of wet weather over the weekend.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources says streams along the Kalalau Trail could see flash floods.
Kauai County officials urged hikers not to take the trail to avoid being trapped by flash floods.
A flash flood watch is in effect as weather officials anticipate weekend thunderstorms in the western part of the state, including Kauai and Oahu.
State officials say they will evaluate conditions Saturday to consider whether to remove a sign indicating the trail is closed.

observer ONLINE
by Uditha KUMARASINGHE
Posts Minister Jeevan Kumaranatunga said that if the Opposition is
sincere, it should support the move to set up a Parliamentary Select
Committee (PSC) to find a lasting solution to the problems faced by the
people in the North and the East.
The people will then accept that the Opposition is genuine in
fulfilling its duty on behalf of the country with a sense of
However, it is regreted that the present Opposition does not seem to
be sincere in its efforts, the Minister told the Sunday Observer.
He said that if the Opposition had acted in the interest of the
people in the North and the East and their problems it would have earned
more public support.
At present there is no strong Opposition and it is in total disarray.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has decided to appoint a PSC for all
political parties to sit together and discuss this issue.
It is the responsibility of the main Opposition UNP and all other
Sinhala and Tamil political parties to nominate their representatives to
the PSC.
Else whatever protests made outside will not produce any fruitful
results and it will certainty delay the process.
The President and the Government have a genuine desire to provide a
lasting solution to this problem. Therefore, all Tamil political parties
should engage in a dialogue with the Government to reach a consensus, he
I think there is nothing wrong with the present Opposition if it acts
with a sense of responsibility.
However it has involved itself in various internal squabbles rather
than identifying its legitimate role.
The Minister said that the Opposition, should offer constructive
criticism on the Government's programs.
However, the sole intention of the present Opposition is to sabotage
the Government's efforts.
This has led to various factions within the Opposition itself.
Some Opposition politicians say that if the main Opposition UNP
continues to act in this manner, they will be further rejected by the

I'm a dedicated shopper but even my mind boggles at the seemingly endless consumption that defines a major remodel. First, you're shopping for basic infrastructure – things like rebar, cement, beams, 2 x 4s up through 4 x 8s, plywood, and a septic tank. Next, it's infrastructure stage two – shingles, insulation, sheetrock and cement […]

Why we tie things down
Posted in Furnishing, tagged Adirondack chairs, Craigslist, Russian River Schoolhouse on July 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Friday night, we loaded up the truck with our usual load: work clothes, tools we'd forgotten last time, a cooler, and towels and suits in case we found time for a swim. Also two Adirondack chairs I'd gotten off Craigslist. Full disclosure: I'd driven all the way to Fairfax to pick up these chairs, and […]

The Break Presents: Jeremy Greene
Standout: "Rain" featuring Pitbull
Also Check Out: "Fireproof"
And: "Believe"
Name: Jeremy Greene
Age: 25
Reppin': New England
My style and/or skills have been compared to: Well I'm a singe first, I can rap a little. I am also a writer and music producer, I have hand in producing almost every record I've done. I get the Justin Timberlake comparison quite a bit and Chris Brown, but I really just try and do what sounds dope at the time.
My standout records and/or moments have been: I would say my first standout record was with Pitbull on a song called "Rain", which generated over 65million hits. It made me the number one artist in the world on MySpace, when it was still hot. Second, would be doing SummerJam with Waka Flocka Flame and having the great privilege of being a part of Brick Squad Monopoly/Mizay Entertainment.
I'm gonna change the game by: To keep it real with you, I'm not really sure what I'm going to do, I know what I want to do. See I feel like it's time for a new Jon B and on top of that I love mixing sounds that are awkward and just crazy. I always say to myself if there were other planets out there on other galaxies with life on them, what would their music sound like and could I keep up? I want to inspire people with music, take them through every emotion, almost like a journey.
I'd Like to Work With: I would like to work with Coldplay, Chris Brown, Usher, Kanye, Jay-Z, Eminem, and believe it or not I would love to do a record with The Beastie Boys, that would be hot!
My goal in hip-hop is: I don't really have a goal in hip-hop, I have a goal in all music. I never try to put genres in a box, I just do what I feel sounds good.
I'm gonna be the next: Rockstar, and when I say Rockstar I mean timeless! I want to forever do records that accelerate my career world changing music. You know it's like one of those things when Michael Jackson would walk to the window at this hotel and see a hundred thousand people standing in the street. I want to do music that matters, means something, and makes a difference.

Long gone are the days when you?d drive through a city suburb and see a sea of Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons parked in driveways. Instead, SUVs ? or ??soft-roaders?? ? of varying shapes and sizes are just about everywhere.
SUVs already account for more than one in four (28 per cent) passenger vehicles and the trend seems unlikely to run out of steam any time soon.
We?ve seen variations on the theme, such as hatchback-style SUVs (think Dodge Caliber, Nissan Dualis) and even coupe-like versions (BMW X6), and now there?s another twist: four-wheel-drives that are actually two-wheel-drives.
You could call these vehicles ??faux-wheel-drives?? because they retain the typical high-riding stance and interior functionality of their all-wheel-drive twins but dispense with the weighty hardware that sends some of the power to the rear wheels for extra traction.
There?s a double benefit for owners: because these SUVs cost less to make and use slightly less fuel, they?re cheaper to buy and run.
Some models, however, also miss out on some equipment and get a smaller engine to keep the price down.
But despite the lack of off-road ability ? and, in some cases, safety equipment ? buyers are snapping these cars up because they are thousands of dollars cheaper than their all-paw equivalents.
For this test we?ve limited the field to those priced less than $30,000.
Korean sister manufacturers Hyundai and Kia have had front-wheel-drive SUVs on the market in the past but their latest generation of vehicles has taken a significant step up in design and quality.
Hyundai?s ix35 Active 2WD (which makes up about 30 per cent of ix35 sales) has been on sale for more than a year.
It was followed in August by its twin under-the-skin, the Kia Sportage. The 2WD Si makes up about half of Sportage sales and it?s the cheapest car tested here.
Another Korean-made model ? but with an Australian badge ? is Holden?s refreshed Captiva 5 2WD, launched just a few weeks ago.
From Japan, Toyota?s high-selling RAV4 2WD arrived in the middle of last year, followed by Mitsubishi?s Outlander LS ? the biggest and most powerful car here.
Nissan launched its X-Trail 2WD in December, which is fitted with a smaller engine than the regular all-wheel-drive model.
Which of these imitation four-wheel-drives is the real deal?

69 Camaro Air Suspension (bags?) Front
I am interested in installing some type of air suspension in the front of my 69 RS camaro (small block) possibly combined with a disc brake/dropped spindle kit. Can not find anyone who makes a kit for this year camaro. Can anyone be of any help?
Air Ride Tech sells a kit for rods with an early camero clip installed(rear steering), part # ARF6500. Save your money on the dropped spindles, install the kit first and see how low you are first. I did the same thing and found I was way too low with the dropped spindles .
I saw a kit, i believe it was by air ride, and it was a shock/airbag kit. Like a coil over, but air bag. Should be pretty simple to install, just bolt it in and run the lines, then viala! Instant up and down for the front end.

I finally finished up my hunter star pieces. Now it's time to sew them together. Do you true up your "triangle" pieces before you sew them together?
Still aiming to finish this for Christmas! haha
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I finally finished up my hunter star pieces. Now it's time to sew them together. Do you true up your "triangle" pieces before you sew them together?
Still aiming to finish this for Christmas! haha
If you have paper pieced them it shouldn't need to be squared up, though there are always exceptions. Did you take the paper out before sewing the blocks together? If so, the act of removing the paper may have stretched some of your blocks and if that is the case, I would spritz with water and iron them carefully back into shape and once there, I would spray starch them.Originally Posted by crkathleen
If you do square up your block, be careful to leave the 1/4-inch seam where any points are so that they don't get chopped off when joining the blocks together.
I always have extra fabric hanging over my seam allowances. So I trim them them up while the paper is still on them. I first try to sew them together with the paper still on. That keeps all of the bias playing nice. Some patterns this just did not work well, so I removed only the paper in the seam lines, so the block is still stable. But remember...I do not always follow the rules, I can be a rebel :wink: :D:D:D
I scanned two of my pieces. Should I cut on the outer lines. (I think it might be easier to line up)
(Probably a silly question) :oops:
If you cut right on the line the same way on all of them, it is the same as if you were regular piecing... you line up the edges and sew :D
I like to cut on the outer edge of the line. It can make the same difference as a 1/4" or scant 1/4". there is a little more wiggle room then :wink:
I generally do cut on the outer lines...yes...you should. Then you can work on getting the pieces together. I pin in the outer corners (straight through on both pieces)...then I make sure the pins stand straight while I pin carefully ON the line. I walk the blocks off the pins as I am sewing directly on the line. They should match up exactly....clear as mud???
Thanks everyone! Just what I wanted to hear!!!
Soooo how is it working for you???? :D:D:D
working perfectly except my wrist hurts! from pushing the ruler down. I think I know what i'm buying myself for Christmas. I would LOVE to have the handle with the suction cups.
Just looked it up. It's only $4.50! I'm getting it before Christmas!!!
I think i'm gonna take 1 advil and 1 tylenol. One for inflammation and one for pain.
I think I got about half done and I did close to 360 blocks.

...God tested Abraham's faith. "Abraham!" God called. "Yes," he replied. "Here I am."
Genesis 22:1
What is your need? Is your need so great that it seems to big for God himself much less for you to handle on your own? Is your need small yet out of your control? Are you fighting that still small voice that is urging you to be obedient to what the Lord has called you to? Is your faith in the midst of a season of testing?
My friend, remember Abraham! Abraham was obedient to the point of willing to sacrifice Isaac on the alter of the Lord out of pure obedience. I see Abraham and Isaac walking along together and the child wondering were they were going and were the offering was...not knowing that he was the offering. Abraham KNEW his God, he knew that the God of all creation would provide a sacrifice, he KNEW that he and his son would go to the alter were the Lord led them, that they would worship and that they would return together. Abraham was in relationship with the Almighty and his faith in that final moment was in the provisional hands of God...behold, the ram in the thicket.
Isaac turned to Abraham and said, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "We have the fire and the wood," the boy said, "but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?"
Genesis 22:7
In the seasons of waiting the only thing to do is to keep walking, keep willing and remain focused on the steadfast faithfulness of the One most High. I can assure you that after waiting for 10 years to hold my son that the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob moved on our behalf. I can look back over my seasons of waiting for career opportunity, financial blessing and relationship building that God was busy behind the scenes making sure that everything was perfectly in place for His appointed time.
Do not be discouraged. Trust Him. Remain steadfast and obedient to the leading and promptings of the Holy Spirit and wait upon the Lord. Just as he provided the ram for sacrifice at the last minute for Abraham...he will do the same for you, His child. After all, we serve the God that is the same today, yesterday and always!
Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
Genesis 22:13

They say that 'Christmas comes but once a year' but I beg to differ. At Signal Restaurant, it comes every month!
Later this month we will be handing you a 'culinary gift' in the form of the Nitída Wine and Food pairing Tasting menus. My 'me-to-me' gift was getting to spend an informative and very entertaining afternoon with not only our restaurant team but with Nitída brand ambassadors Jacus Marais and Clarke Truter.
Nitída, established in 1995, is one of the smallest wine farms in the Durbanville area and is owned and managed by Bernhard and Peta Veller. With a small, dedicated team of just eight staff, Nitída – with its slew of awards – manages to maintain a reputation for producing the best quality wines, and I can vouch for that!
We begin with a delicious spicy prawn and tomato salad with chorizo, sweet lime dressing and macadamia nuts. The wine we'll be serving is the 2013 Nitída Sémillon and with its citrus spark and creamy macadamia you can tell that this will be a picture-perfect pairing!
SECOND COURSE of an absolutely delicious white almond gazpacho with lightly smoked mussels, saffron oil and apple sorbet truly is a multi-layered surprise. This chilled soup, boosted by the apple sorbet, plays into the hands of the Coronata Integration 2012 – a wine full of crisp green apples, gooseberry, jasmine and honeyed almonds.
These two course will please the meat-eaters. The springbok tataki with pinenut crumble, asparagus, goat's cheese and semi-dried tomatoes is being paired with the Nitída Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, while the next course of slow-roasted lamb shoulder and grilled lamb cutlet is served with creamed leeks, roasted baby carrots, pomme fondant and carrot purée. The wine pairing for this tasty dish is the Nitída Calligraphy 2012, a wine full of berries and maraschino cherries layered with leather and cigar box.
DESSERT at Cape Grace is always a treat and yet again, pastry chef Lorraine Meaney, doesn't disappoint. The Nitída Riesling 2013, with its jasmine, rosemary and dried apricot flavours, combines perfectly with her roasted pear mousse, honeycomb-Eton mess, toasted brioche and lime ice cream.
And don't forget that Signal also offers the Nitída wine pairing on our Vegetarian Tasting Menu so everyone is invited! To book, please call Signal Restaurant on 021 4107080 or email email@example.com

Résumé :
Overview: The radiant world of Eudora Welty's art is charged by a poignant and familiar beauty, and here in a stunning book of her photographs is a dazzling record of this writer's unique and special vision. It is unusual-remarkable-for a major writer also to be an accomplished photographer. Eudora Welty is one of the very few whose great talent has been expressed in both photographs and fiction. This book brings together in one volume about 250 representative photographs from the few thousand that she took during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. Although her camera's view finder compresses much, like the frame in which she conceives her fiction, it finds elements that convey her deep compassion and her artist's sensibilities. From the confines of her native Mississippi these photographs unfold the world of Eudora Welty's art, reaching, extending, and exploring. In the Deep South of Depression times, when she began writing, she discovered the place into which she had been born and which would always be her subject. From here, as these photographs show, she approached and risked the outside world. From rural Mississippi to New Orleans, Charleston, New York City, and Yaddo, and then to Ireland, England, and the Continent Welty widened her vision and expanded her art. These photographs reveal that both in her fiction and in the pictures she took it has always been in place, in the special qualities of what is local, that she found her impulse. "I was smitten by the identity of place wherever I was," she said in 1989, "from Mississippi on---I still am." The legions of appreciators of Welty's photographs see in them the feelings and vision that are the hallmarks of her great literary art in such novels as Losing Battles and The Optimist's Daughter, in her memoir One Writer's Beginnings, and in her volumes of short stories. This serves as a definitive book of Welty's photographs, compromising pictures from her personal collection, from the repository of Welty materials at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and from One Time, One Place, an album of her Depression-era photographs published in 1972. Included are Mississippi scenes and people, emblems of folk life, carnival signs and performers, photographs taken in Charleston, New Orleans, Mexico, New York City, Ireland, Paris, Nice, Italy, Wales, and Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and a significant group of Welty's portraits of family members and friends.

Nose Job (Rhinoplasty) Questions and Answers Archive
Q&A: What can I do to stop the pain and stimulate bone growth in my one undeveloped jaw?
I was told that the left side of my jaw has not developed since I was a elementary age child or before, and diagnosed with TMJ symptoms. I have had artherosentesis and therapy and a nerve block. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain, or to stimulate bone growth?- Kacie
The only way to get both sides symetrical is with surgery. Get the TMJ symptoms under control before proceeding to surgery. I would recommend discussing options with your oral surgeon.

Q&A: Should I have an Ear/Nose/Throat surgeon or a Plastic Surgery remove the cyst in my right cheek?
I have a cyst(hard) in my right cheek, over my sinus cavity and need to have it surgically removed. It is about the size of a quarter, but feels like it goes deeper than that. Should I have an ear, nose and throat surgeon do the surgery or an experienced plastic surgeon do it? I have seen an eye doctor (since it is located under my eye also) and he was going to do it, but my insurance will not let an ear, nose and throat surgeon assist him during the procedure. Plus, they will have to cut the outer corner of my eye, then pull down the skin to remove it. This sounds like it would be awful! They said the worst that will happen is I would have some bruising around the outside of my eye. Please give me your input on this and who I might go see to take care of this. It makes me feel terrible to have something like this on my face and I really want it taken out, but I am scared to have surgery on my face. Input, PLEASE!!!!Thank you so much..............- Kimberly
Dear Kimberley, I take it that the cyst is a benign growth and not a cancer and that it is localized under the skin so that there will be no skin defect once it is removed. I would suggest that, at least, you get an opinion of what in involved in the removal, in terms of risks and goals from a plastic surgeon. Hopefully, there is one which will be covered by your insurance plan.

Q&A: Would surgery be required if my neurologist suspects I have a brain lesion?
I have chronic sinusitis, and have been fighting a rather severe infection since August. I began to have dizziness, and my optometrist diagnosed what appeared to be a 3rd nerve palsy, however, I've just seen a neurologist who thinks I should have a brain MRI, and apparently suspects a lesion. He is also looking for the cause of a ptosis! If a lesion is found would surgery be required?- Lucille
It depends on where the lesion is and what the lesion is.

Q&A: What can be done to remove a 6 mm mole from my nose?
All my life i have had a large raised mole on my nose. It is about 6 millimetres all the way around and i hate it. It makes me feel unattractive and whats more i often worry that one day it may become cancerous. My mum says because i've had it all my life it'll probably be fine because its sort of like a birth mark, but that still doesn't solve that fact that i hate the way it looks. Whenever i meet someone new i can always tell that they are looking at it and it makes me feel selfconsious and embarrased. Because its so big would it be possible to have it removed? would i need plastic surgery? the thought of a big operation really scares me.- sarah
Dear Sarah, You mother is right and there is only a slight chance of this becoming a cancer, however, appearance is very important and I understand how you would like it removed. The procedure would not be a big one but that area is particularly difficult to remove a largish lesion from without special techniques. I would suggest that you visit with a plastic surgeon in your area to discuss the options. Unfortunately, lasers, dry ice, etc. will not permanently remove a mole and so surgery is necessary.

Q&A: How do I treat a lanced, infected boil under my arm so I can work out at the gym and how do I prevent a future one?
Yesterday I was referred to the local emergency room by my ppd for the lancing of an infected boil under my arm. The e.r. doctor sliced it open (extremely painful) He diaognosed it as Hidradenitis suppurativa explaining that the ducts become blocked creating bacteria and pus. Two questions: 1) Can I continue to work out at the gym thereby creating lots of sweat or is that bad for the condition? 2)What action if any can I do to prevent reoccurances? Please advise post haste. Thanks much, Susan
Sorry to take so long for the answer. I would get some topical antibiotics like Clindamycin solution (you'll need a prescription) to use regularly as well as buying baby powder cornstarch to put under the arms before you work out. The sweating isn't inherently bad but the sweat rubbing agains the skin is. Hook up with a dermatologist (go to www.aad.org to find one in your area) to help you to deal with this problem, which tends to wax and wane and may require periodic oral antibiotics. Sometimes Accutane, an oral medication which is a Vitamin A deriviative can help and occasionally people get surgery to remove all the glands from under the arms to prevent this from occurring.

Q&A: Is it possible to find any relief from the severe pain caused by hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa)?
My father in law has been diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa and has had 20 surgeries to help out with his pain. It has reached a point where the pain has become unbearable for him. He has lost a lot of weight and the condition is spreading. Do you have a name of a doctor who can help him? Is there anything that we can do to get him to feel a liitle better? We are desperate...- Sandy
I am so sorry to hear that your father-in-law is in such terrible discomfort. I did a literature search and found that there are really two main treatments for hidradenitis. One you might consider is oral isotretinoin, brand name Accutane, which is usually used for severe acne but has been shown to be successful in suppressing (not curing) the symptoms of some cases of hidradenitis. The most widely accepted treatment, however, appears to be radical surgery, that is wide excision of the entire skin surface in the affected area. With 20 surgeries behind him, it doesn't sound like this option is going to be one that gives him much hope. The authors that were associated with these papers about surgical procedures included Drs. Ratz and Finley at the Department of Dermatology at the Ochsner Clinic and Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation in New Orleans, LA and Drs. Brown, Rosen and Orengo, from the departments of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine and Veterans Administration Medical Center in Houston Texas. Perhaps contacting one of these doctors for consultation on your father-in-law's case would prove fruitful. In addition, please have him checked carefully as squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, can develop in long-standing open wounds. If he has hidradentis in the groin, he also may need to be evaluated by a gastroenterologist as this has been associated with rectal cancer. Good luck!

Q&A: What does it mean to be Stage 1 / Level 4 and 0.8 for melanoma?
Hi Dr. Amy, I wanted to let you know that my husband went to the surgeon, the surgeon told us that the size of the melanoma was 0.8 and that it is stage 1 level 4. I know the staging part but do not understand the level part. He also did tell us about the eyes and we are getting that checked. My husband goes for surgery on Oct 8th, and they are shooting a dye into his back to see which lymph nodes if any the melanoma would spread to and possibly remove them. they are also doing a chest xray and blood work this week. I guess my question is once that gave it a stage does that mean it hasnt spread anywhere? or wont they know that til the surgery? my husband is very upset and I dont know what to do to comfort him, he is a smoker also so he is worried about that. thanks! amy
The most important piece of information is that the melanoma is 0.8. This is relatively good news, since the tumor was not that deep. Depending on which scales you go by, less than .76 is the best, .76-1.5 is next best, 1.5-4 is third and over 4 is worst. Some, though make the first cutoff at 1.0 and your husband would be below this. The next most important information will come when they do the sentinel lymph node (dye in his back). If negative, this would be the best news and his risk of it having spread would be very small, since it would have spread to this lymph node first. If positive, one has to assume then that the melanoma has spread, and he would need some type of further treatment to kill off the cancer cells, such as chemotherapy, usually with a drug called interferon. Stage 1 means no clinical evidence of disease spread (can't feel lymph nodes), level 4 means that although the tumor was relatively thin, is went down fairly deep into the skin. I find this odd however because if the melanoma is on his back where the skin is thick then 0.8 and level 4 don't go together. It would be great for your husband to quit smoking, although it would be a difficult thing to do right now. But it would make him feel like he was doing something positive for his health. Try to distract him and give him things he likes, take him to movies or watch sports with him and try to be strong yourself and reassuring, even if you don't feel that way. It is very frightening to be diagnosed with cancer, but most people with melanoma survive and he has a very good chance, too! The surgery itself is not difficult. It sounds like his surgeon is doing all the right things.

Q&A: Should I consider a revision rhinoplasty if I am not satisfied with the results of the first surgery?
I have had a rhinoplasty, and I am unsatisfied with the results. My nostrils are uneven, and the bridge of nose is also uneven(one side is flatter than the other). I am considering having a revision rhinoplasty. But I am afraid my nose might look worse. What would you suggest?- Desiree
Dear Desiree, Unfortunately, rhinoplastic surgery is one of the procedures where there are often touch-ups and secondary procedures required in order for you to get the results that you desire. I would suggest that you visit with the surgeon who originally performed the surgery in order to see if he/she would perform the necessary revisions at a reduced cost (if you are comfortable with that surgeon).

Q&A: Could my jaws and TMJ be causing my severe headaches?
I have been having headaches which have been diagnosed as tension/migraine combos. They have been getting progressively worse. They are here almost 24/7. If I awake w/o one, one comes on within an hour. My last migraine was an 11 day one, which just ended. I have seen a specialist who has almost given up on me & a neuro, who only advised I see a pain management doc. My MRI shows I have degenerative disc disease, but only mildly...normal for a person my age, I was told (I"m 45). My headaches get strong in my neck & wind up turning into migraines as they progress. I turn to the possibility of TMJ because most other options have been excluded. One main reason I am considering this is that I had brain surgery 8 1/2 years ago, removing my right temporal lobe & successfully ending 36 years of seizures due to epilepsy. BUT to get to my RTL, part of my upper jaw had to be removed & replaced. Chewing gum has given me headaches ever since then. I eat 2 apples every morning for breakfast & that seems to bring on the initial pain. If I can't get it under control, it spreads down my neck and up my head, turning into the tension/migraines. The tension in my neck seems to aggrivate the degenerating discs & making neck pain worse. Most of the time, no OTC meds will get my pain under control in time. I've lived on OTC meds for so long that my system is immune to them. I had a CT scan to check for tumors & the radiologist wanted to know what on earth happened to my head. I had told him about brain surgery, but failed to mention my upper jaw removal at the time. When I told him of it, he just kinda nodded & didn't mention TMJ possibilities. I was about to see an allergist & get checked for food allergies when I thought about the possibility of TMJ. Do I need to see a dentist to be checked for it? Can my regular dentist advise me yea or nay about seeing an oral surgeon? I'm searching for answers & am tired of 24/7 headaches for the past 3 years. I failed to mention that there is a very sensitive spot right above my right ear, which is extra sensitive during headaches. I have always attributed it to the jaw removal. I have not had jaw locking problems. If you can help me, PLEASE do. Thank you very much. Sorry if this is too long. Jacque
If chewing is painful you could have a TMJ problem. I would think it was in your best interest to see a dentist.

East Providence Police review school protection plans
EAST PROVIDENCE — The person tasked with leading a comprehensive review of safety policies concerning the city's schools said the process is progressing at a very good pace and expects to reveal more details shortly.
East Providence Police Lieutenant Raymond Blinn is leading the department's in-depth inquiry into school security protocol, a review sparked by the Newtown, Conn. tragedy last month as well as a gun scare days later at East Providence High School.
Lt. Blinn, who was appointed to the position by by EPPD Patrol Division Commander Captain Christopher Parella, was effusive in his praise of local authorities for their efforts in initiating measures already in place at EPHS when a student believed she had seen another with a gun in the corridor. The school was immediately closed according to so-called "Code Red" procedures. The EPPD also reached the scene in rapid fashion, bringing the situation under control within minutes of their arrival.
"School officials did an excellent job," Lt. Blinn said. "Our guys also did a great job. We responded to the call in under two minutes. We had the hallways secure in another two minutes, which are both exceptional response times. They did a great job in bringing the situation to a quick resolution."
The incident gave Lt. Blinn and the EPPD some insight into how they would react to an event of such possible magnitude. And it also gave them a recent touch point to begin a comprehensive review of school safety efforts.
"The first plan is to review all procedures, see if we need to update or eliminate anything. We also want to make sure everybody is on the same page, the police and the school department. We'll be looking at things we can do today, tomorrow and in the future," Lt. Blinn said.
"There are different security needs and each situation is different," he continued. "There are physical aspects that can be fixed, like with doors and locks. We understand the financial constraints the city is under. We're trying to do things that are cost-effective, but that are also achievable. There are things we can do that are economically feasible that can immediately impact the security of our schools."
No plans or precautions are 100-percent fool proof, though they can be implemented and initiated in ways to be most effective.
"Unfortunately, you can't always predict where perpetrators of this kind come from," Lt. Blinn explained. "What we're trying to do, and I think what all police departments across the country are trying to do is prevent something like this happening again from the get go.
"Our sole purpose with this review is to make sure our schools are safe. We're looking at protocols in each school and our own tactics in these types of situations. We're trying to prevent these incidents from happening all together, but we're also looking at ways to delay the progression of the incident if it does occur. We want to save as many lives, protect as many people as we can."
Lt. Blinn expects soon to unveil a foundational plan of procedures built to suit each individual school. He also would like to set up a safety and security committee whose members would be drawn from both the police and school departments.
"We're working on an aggressive timeline, but because this is such an important issue we want to make sure we get things right."

A. E. (Bootie) Mewis, a prominent Austin County Cattleman and business executive passed away in Bellville Sunday night. .
Funeral services were held here from the Chapel of the Pete E. Etlinger Funeral Home in Bellville at 4:00 p. m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, with the Rev. Willard Rother
officiating. Interrment was at the Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery.
Mr. Mewis passed away at 11:40 p.m. on Sunday, October 10,1971, having obtained the age of 89 years, 8 months and ? days. He
had been in failing health for the past four months.
Born in Bellville on January 31, 1882, he was the son of Mr. And Mrs. John A. Mewis, and was reared in the Piney Cmmunity and educated in Piney and Coshatte public
A retired rancher and business executive, Mr. Mewis served on the board of directors of the First National Bank of Bellville since 1924.
He served as county commissioner from December 1, 1920 to December 31, 1928.
Mr. Mewis served as a school trustee and was on the hospital board for many years. He was also a member of the cattlemen's
association and the Concordia Singing Society.
Mr. Mewis was married to the former Miss Mary Kenter on September 17, 1902. She passed away on October 28, 1910.
On June 24, 1914 he was married to Martha Berndt. She passed away on October 5, 1970.
Pallbearers were: grandsons, Bill Mewis, Bubba Mewis, Monroe Mewis, Herman A. Grawunder, Roy Mewis, Paul Mewis, Gene Huebner,
and Kenneth Becker. Members of the First National Bank of Bellville were all considered Honarary Pallbearers.
They are: Al Brooks, W. R. Crick, Fred Sander, A. A. Boriack, R. A. Neely, M. D., Clarence Sehier, Miles Wilson, Nelson Davis, Joe Peschke, and Dan Hruska.
Mr. Mewis is survived by six daughters, Mrs. Ralph Brosig, Mrs. W. G. Engelking, Mrs. J. F. McGowan, Mrs. Harvey Pause, Mrs. E. H. Winn, Mrs. Gilmore Huebner, all
Bellville; four sons, Monroe, Colbert, Leon, Jesse, all of Bellville; one brother, Ben Mewis of Bellville; twenty grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren; and one
great-great grandchild.
He was also preceded in death by one son Roy, three sisters and five brothers.
Funeral services were conducted under the direction of Pete E. Etlinger Funeral Home of Bellville.
With the death of A. E. (Bootie) Mewis late Sunday evening, one of the area's as well of that of all Texas, lost a kind, colorful, strictly honest and honorable
character. He was my friend, and I recall how many times during the eighty six years that I knew him, his stories were as
fascinating as a picture book to a child.
Mr. Mewis was a neighbor of my mother and her family, and he also spoke most kindly of her, although she was more than ten years his senior.
Mother and Dad and Uncle Dick Zeiske were always extremely fond of him and his entire family.
In times like this it is, I strongly believe, well to remember the lighter things, even some comical things about a lost loved one. Mr.
Mewis thoroughly enjoyed a good joke, and I can see him now, drinking coffee, then having a true belly laugh, shaking all over. I
often sought his advice, and was never mislead.
His white hat, boots, and vest, were trademarks of this famed cattleman. The name Bootie was said to have originated from the
time when he was a little boy, insisted on boots instead of shoes.
His work with the Bellville Hospital, as a county commissioner, and First National Bank Director, as well as dozens of other items, will long be remembered.
Yes, Mr. Bootie was my friend.

Otitis media is inflammation located in the middle ear. The middle ear is the space behind the eardrum. Otitis media can occur as a result of a cold, sore throat, or respiratory infection.
While any child may develop an ear infection, the following are some of the factors that may increase your child's risk of developing ear infections:
Middle ear infections are usually a result of a poorly functioning eustachian tube, a canal that links the middle ear with the throat area. When this tube is working properly it:
When the eustachian tube in not functioning properly bacteria and viruses are more likely to grow in the middle ear and lead to acute otitis media. Fluid is more likely to build up behind the eardrum. When this fluid cannot drain, it allows for the growth of bacteria and viruses in the ear that can lead to acute otitis media. The following are some of the reasons that the eustachian tube may not work properly:
Different types of otitis media include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of otitis media. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of otitis media may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, your child's physician will inspect the outer ear(s) and eardrum(s) using an otoscope. The otoscope is a lighted instrument that allows the physician to see inside the ear. A pneumatic otoscope blows a puff of air into the ear to test eardrum movement.
If fluid remains in the ear(s) for longer than three months, or your child has repeated ear infections, your child's physician may suggest that small tubes be placed in the ear(s). This surgical procedure, called myringotomy, involves making a small opening in the eardrum to drain the fluid and relieve the pressure from the middle ear. A small tube is placed in the opening of the eardrum to ventilate the middle ear and to prevent fluid from accumulating. The child's hearing is restored after the fluid is drained. The tubes usually fall out on their own after about twelve months.
Your child's surgeon may also recommend the removal of the adenoids (lymph tissue located in the space above the soft roof of the mouth, also called nasopharynx). Removal of the adenoids has shown to help some children with otitis media.
In addition to the symptoms of otitis media listed above, untreated otitis media can result in any or all of the following:
Antibiotic overuse in children has become a common problem, aggravated by parental pressure for the medication, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In 1980, 4.2 million prescriptions were written for amoxicillin, an oral antibiotic to treat ear infections. In 1992, the number of prescriptions had grown to 12.3 million (194 percent increase). Use of another antibiotic to treat ear infections, cephalosporins, increased from 876,000 prescriptions in 1980 to 6.8 million in 1992 (a 687 percent increase).
Overuse of antibiotics is leading to strains of diseases that are becoming resistant to the medication, making it harder to treat patients. All too often, antibiotics have been prescribed for conditions such as colds, fluid in the middle ear or bronchitis, which do not respond to antibiotics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Antibiotics are only effective in treating bacterial infections.
The key to preventing overuse of antibiotics is education of the parents and physicians in the appropriate use of antibiotics, according to the AAP. Some tips to remember when taking antibiotics, according to the American Medical Association (AMA), include the following:
Always consult your child's physician for more information.
