Hello furriends! I haven't posted anything in my diary for a long time, but this is very urgent, so my fursibs and I are all cross-posting this in our diaries. Minda, Paula, and Merry are three wonderful kitties whose owner is dying of a brain tumor. The owner, Kathy, just went into hospice care and will not be returning home. Her house is going into foreclosure, so even though Kathy's wonderful neighbors (Catster pawrents of Albie and Mr. Silk) have been going across the street 2 or 3 times a day to check on the cats, this cannot continue much longer. These kitties have been declawed and must live indoors. PLEASE go to Minda, Paula, and Merry's page at the link below, read their story, and help if you can to save these lovely girls from going to a shelter. They can be adopted individually or together. They are located in West Virginia but transport to an approved home within several hundred miles could be arranged. Even if you can't adopt any of these girls, please share the link. Thank you so much!
Hi Efurryone! I haven't posted a diary entry in a long time, but I think this is impurrtant, as it is an auction to raise money for The Cat House On The Kings no-kill pet sanctuary and adoption center.
Background: My mommy has been selling things on eBay for many years. She tries very hard to describe the things she sells accurately and she ships them quickly, but you just can't purrlease all of the people all of the time. Mommy had a purrfect 100% positive feedback rating on eBay up until a few days ago, when a mean lady gave Mommy a negative feedback rating because an old vintage dress she bought from Mommy arrived with some cat hair on it. (Mommy thought the dress looked clean when she sent it, but cat hairs can be sneaky, MOL!) The mean person (I refuse to call her a "purrson") left Mommy that nasty feedback before she ever even let Mommy know that she wasn't happy with the dress, so Mommy didn't even have a chance to try and make things right before her purrfect feedback score was ruined. (Mommy is still going to refund the mean lady's money when she gets the dress back; she offered to pay the cleaning bill if the lady wanted to keep the dress, but the woman told Mommy that she would never wear it!) OK...long story short...Some of Mommy's cat-loving friends on Facebook said that cat hair is an enhancement, not a detriment. Then my furiend Princess Kitty's mom (my Auntie Val) chimed in that if Mommy would auction off some of my fur on eBay, she would bid on it! Mommy thought that would be funny, so she got some of my fur with the Furminator (She had my purrmission, of course), and put it up for auction on eBay, with the bidding starting at just one cent. This started out as a joke, but now my fur has some real bids on it, so Mommy has purromised to donate all of the proceeds from this auction to The Cat House On The Kings. Along with the sample of my fur, Mommy will send the lucky high bidder a photograph of ME playing the banjo! So if you would like to suppurrt a very worthy cause AND win a swatch of my fur and a photo of yours truly, go to the eBay auction URL below and take my fur...PURRLEASE! MOL!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1 80538731387
(Please note: If this link doesn't work or if you get a message saying that the listing has been removed, it's just Catster fleas....Type in a search for Genuine Cat Hair from my Cat Curly (without quote marks) and it should show up.)
As many of you know, I am not allowed to venture outdoors anymore, except for an occasional supervised foray right outside the door so I can munch on a few blades of grass. Well, early this morning, my mom stepped outside to check the thermometer on the porch. (It was a chilly 27 degrees F.) I darted out the door, planning to grab a quick grass snack, when my eyes beheld a strange cat, a big gray fellow sleeping in the old birdbath-style scratching post on the covered porch. I know I should be more tolerant, as I myself spent many chilly nights sleeping there before I was adopted, but my gut reaction was to tear off after the tresspasser; after all, a cat must protect his territory.
Mommy went running after me but I was soon out of sight. I could hear her calling and calling, but I didn't answer; I was on a mission! Finally, she heard the other cat howling from the area in the boulders on the hill behind our house. Mommy climbed up there (mind you, the ground was covered with frost and Mommy was wearing her bathrobe and slippers), and she arrived just in time to see the big gray cat jump down from a tree where I had him cornered. He went running off, and Mommy plucked me down out of the tree and began to carry me back to the house. Too bad she lost her footing as she tried to navigate down the slippery hillside, all the while holding on to me. But she managed to get back up without ever letting me out of her clutches...She said she wasn't taking any chances on losing me. I was glad to get back inside the warm house. The important thing is, I chased the big gray cat away. Mission accomplished!

text: Evidence seems to be pilling up that they are trying to pin this on AI. All this in the midst of the Golden Boy Stucky seemingly not able to do anything right. Maybe the best thing is to cut AI and let him sign with the team of his choice. He did not ask to come here and only a bunch of idiots would trade for an established player without knowing what he is like. - "He is who we thought he was". Then we can go on to claim our lottery pick and read puff pieces over the summer on how great Stucky will be and all these great things to expect as Dumars "Grand Plan" begins to take its course. Sorry to be so down. Still a chance that they will turn it around but I don't know. 2 more key players were benched in AA and Amir. No wonder we cannot find any consistancy. Remember the Zoo crew? No one has had a chance to play with each other enough to establish anything off the bench. In this game. Interesting how they were using Paul to get the interior defense to collapse around him opening things up for their frontcourt. Now thats hard to accomplish if your center is camping out behind the 3-line when all this is happening. When AI gets inside he is usually the only one in there. And they wonder why its not helping.

In Paris, UNESCO has announced that Dutch slavery records and a film collection are to be added to its Memory of the World Register. Among the latest additions is the slavery administration of the Middelburg Commercial Company (MCC).
The MCC, based in the Province of Zeeland, was involved in the international slave trade in Europe, Africa and the West Indies. Between 1720 and 1889, MCC ships made 300 voyages, more than a third of them carrying slaves.

Experimental project
This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.
I have this common request from my clients to allow them to "name" each individual sub-queue of a smartqueue. so for example, if I have three smartqueues, LEFT, CENTER, and RIGHT that print lists of content for various tax term pages in those lcoations, we may want to title them differently for different terms. Not all left lists are the 'hottest' content in that category.
This module provides the underlying framework of collecting those titles. They are not displayed anywhere by default, but I have also included a panels plugin so that if you are using panels you can use that to display the title. If you are not using panels, you will need to write your own custom code to retrieve the titles where you'd like to see them.

PWer darcy_d88 had a beautiful and elegant June garden wedding.
Her cake was a four tier butter cream creation with each tier a different shape, adding dimension and interest to this otherwise simple design. Two tiers were decorated with hand-piped designs, while each tier had a blue ribbon around the base. The cake was topped with three monogram initials in silver, and the cake sat on a silver cake stand on a blue tablecloth.


text: I would really appreciate some advise on what sort of jeans I should wear. I'm 25, 5'7, skinny and normally wear size 28 jeans. I've realized most of my jeans don't really look good on me. I prefer straight leg regular fit jeans but i am not sure if i should buy low/medium/high rise. I wear jeans mostly with the shirt tucked in to work, so I want to consider that as well before buying new jeans. I really like diesel jeans so which diesel style would suit me best.

Some members of the joint action committee (JAC) in the Faridkot kidnapping case on Saturday met senior superintendent of police Gurpreet Singh Toor and urged that the chargesheet should be filed against the accused after proper investigation. The move came following some reports that police may file the chargesheet before December 3, the day the case would come for hearing in the Punjab and Haryana high court, to avoid a CBI inquiry.
"We have some doubts on the alleged role of the Faridkot police in the kidnapping case. So we have brought everything to the notice of the SSP," said NK Jeet, lawyer of the kidnap victim's family. "From delayed registration of FIR to the arrest of the accused, the role of the police has raised suspicion," he said.
"We want police to record the victim's statement. We also want to know that the mother of the accused had allegedly withdrawn a huge amount of money before the September 24 incident but the police have recovered less than Rs 1 lakh," alleged Swarn Singh, a member of the joint action committee.
When contacted, the Faridkot SSP said: "I will ensure that the accused are punished and the case is thoroughly investigated. I am looking into all aspects of the case. Nobody who is guilty will be spared."

Diligent Board Member Services, which reported an almost trebling of annual profit earlier this month, can't explain a surge in its share price and hefty trading volumes in recent days.
The company said it wasn't aware of any material information that hadn't been released to the market that caused as much as a 26 per cent jump in its share price in the past week. Nor could it account for its average daily value of trading rising more than tenfold to $8.4 million since March 7.
The stock exchange issued a 'please explain' note today due to the price spike and increase in trading volume.
Last week, James Schofield at First NZ Capital, who analyses Diligent, said the company's "storming run" reflected investors realising Diligent had "reached critical mass" and would start "throwing off a lot of cash".
The shares rose 6.1 per cent to $6.36 in trading today, valuing the firm at $555.4 million. That's up 22 per cent since Diligent reported its annual earnings on March 1.
Diligent's tear mirrors that of online accounting software firm Xero, which has jumped 22 per cent since the start of the month, breaking through the $1 billion market cap barrier, before it has even turned a profit.

Two Children Killed in Boating Accident
The storms that hit part of North Central Florida during the weekend took a heavy toll. Two people died when their boat capsized in Lake George Sunday.
A busy day on the water suddenly became overwhelming for first responders once the storm hit. They had numerous distress calls from people who had been celebrating the holiday and suddenly were fighting for survival.
Lake George, a popular weekend destination for swimmers and boaters, turned deadly Sunday for two young children. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says a 21-foot cabin cruiser capsized in the water, located on the Marion/Lake County line.
The weather may have caused high waves, causing the boat to flip, trapping a 4-year-old and a 14-year-old.
"The way Florida is, you can count on the weather turning, and with the late afternoon thunderstorms, it's been like that for the last week or so. You got to try to keep aware of what's going on. Best thing you can do is get a weather report, and when you see the weather turning, you know it's time to head for shelter," says Officer Lenny Salberg.
Wildlife workers say 4-year-old Dennis Lennon from Umatilla was wearing a life vest. Fourteen-year-old Ciara Puskas was not.
They were unable to swim to safety because they were trapped in the cabin. Lennon's parents were also on the boat but they were uninjured. Three others were on board, including another 5-year-ld who was found unresponsive. He is in intensive care at an Orlando hospital. Officials also responded to several calls of other boats capsized in the lake.
"We had three or four other incidents at the same time due to the weather. We had a capsized vessel with eight people on board that was an airboat, so we were working three other accidents at the same time," recalls Salberg.
No injuries were reported in the other cases. Officer Salberg could not confirm if the driver was an avid boater.
"If you're not an experienced boater and you start operating a boat, you're going to have problems out there."
The 5-year-old that was taken to the hospital is Cole Bizuk from Fernandina Beach. His sister Cayla was also on the boat, but she was uninjured. Eleven-year-old Morgantina Garofono from Eustis was on board; she was uninjured.
Salberg says alcohol was not involved in the tragedy.

95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
Help! Any way to permanently disconnect the alarm? About 50% of the time the alarm will go off when unlocking the driver's door. Have had issues too where it will not reset when the key is turned to the left and held. The kids have lost/broken too many remotes so I do not want to get them another one....
Re: 95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
I'm not sure on a 95 but My 98 they said to do anything with the alarm the have to go into the pcm and change settings
Re: 95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
Thanks. Dumb mom question here: what is the pcm?
Re: 95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
Power Control Module, located on the firewall/passenger side. Raise the hood, look towards the rear of the engine bay, should be behind some A/C aluminum hoses.
E.T.A. Try searching for threads on mallcrawlin.com & NAGCA.com, lots of chatter out there about this. HTH
Re: 95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
My guess is one (possibly more) of the wires in the boot between the door and the body has broken just enough to not always make good contact. You can replace the wire and fix it that way (I think its purple and yellow).
Your other option, is to trace the alarm wire into the body and ground it (body end). I haven't done this, but have heard this is how to permanently disable it.
Re: 95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
still got that problem? if you have the Code_Alarm brand for your security system u got yourself a real headache, its has a backup system that will still use your regular horn as an alarm aside from the system siren, it's useless to reset the PCM without a remote, and using the ignition key sequence reset it will take you ages. If you want it all re-wired/dismantled you have to give up an arm and a leg for the cost, it ain't worth it.
The simplest trick would be to have a car electrician install for you a manual kill switch (aside from the override button Code_Alarm already has) in series with your horn fuse line, not the horn. Before leaving the car put the kill switch off, put it on again ONLY AFTER you start the car, the alarm will already disengage when the engines running, if the engine wont start just press the Code_Alarm button then start the engine. If you forget to put on the kill switch you only wont have any horn.
With all that's said and done your system is still active BUT it beats the heck out of opening/closing your hood to take out/put on the negative of the battery or remove the horn fuse or be like a magician and open a door/hatch combination whatever to disengage the unwanted alarm :P some folks actually do that.
Re: 95 Grand Cherokee Alarm Issue
The front drivers, front passenger doors, and the lift gate have disabling switches mounted to the key lock cylinder inside the doors. When the switch is working properly it will ground out the wire to the factory alarm when unlocking and disables the alarm. Just remove the door panel on either of the front doors, locate the 2 wires going to the lock cylinder switch, cut and connect the two wires together. This will permanently disable the alarm.

New Delhi: Delhi Police's Special Cell sources have told CNN-IBN that arrested Rajasthan Royals player Sreesanth is now cooperating with investigation after being defiant during questioning on Thursday.
While the bookies talk, sources questioning them say the players though are very quiet and it's taking them time to get through to them. The players, according the sources, are feeling embarrassed.
CNN-IBN has also learned that bookies made a lot of assurances to the arrested players. They would lure them with money, alcohol and also women. This would happen on a daily basis. Bookies also provided all sorts of services to attract the players into spot-fixing.
It was also confirmed earlier that one of the arrested bookies Amit Singh is a former Rajasthan Royals player who was with the franchise from 2009 to 2012 before being released last year. He is from Gujarat and also represented his state side in the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy.
Police is also focusing on the western Indian region to track other bookies. The cops say they have identified them from Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat. Sources have informed that at least 10 other bookies are on the radar but involvement of others, including players, is not ruled out at this stage.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Hemant Kumar
Appearing on Indian radio for the first time in 1933, Kumar recorded his debut disc, "Janite Jadi Go Tumi" b/w "Balo Go Balo More," six years later. Despite his obvious talent, Kumar gave little thought to a career in music. Instead, he enrolled in a four-year course at the Engineering College of Jaduvpar Polytechnic and dreamed of becoming a writer. In 1937, Dash magazine published one of Kumar's stories.
The impact of Kumar's voice could not be denied, however. Although he was turned down by the Senola and Megaphone Record labels, he was signed by Columbia and introduced to their staff trainer, Sailesh Dattagupta. Although he had previously begun studying classical Hindustani music with Ustad Faiyaz Khan, his lessons ended prematurely with Khan's untimely death.
Kumar's recordings for Columbia attracted critical acclaim. Following the release of his second single, he purchased his first harmonium. After his next single, he left school to devote his attention to music.
Commercial success was much slower. For several years, Kumar sought a way to break into film playback. His chance came when he was chosen to be the playback singer in the hit film Nimai Sonyas. In 1944, he composed the entire score for Heman Gupta's film, Abhijatri. He resumed his work for Gupta in 1951 with the film Anandamath. He subsequently relocated to Bombay and took a staff composer position with S. Mukherjee's Filmistan Studios. Although he attempted to break into film direction with his own Geetanjali productions, his best work was done for other directors.
Beginning in 1948, Kumar worked with lyricist/composer Salil Chowdhury to develop a new kind of music, Kavya-geeti, translated as "ballad but not necessarily romantic." Kumar reached his apex in 1955 when he received a Filmfare award as Best Music Director for the film Nagin. ~ Craig Harris

MARSHFIELD – Master Trimmers, a 10-year-old lawn and landscaping business in Marshfield, Mo., converted two of its commercial mowers to propane in March, a few months before the business' summertime peak. Dustin Leighty, the company's founder and president, was optimistic that propane would prove cost effective in the long term but was quickly impressed by the immediate savings he saw.
"We did save around $10,000 this year on propane," Leighty said. "We have 12 that are converted and we plan to do the rest of the fleet this year."
Overcoming misconceptions. A veteran of the landscaping business, Leighty started mowing lawns when he was 12 years old. He started Master Trimmers 10 years ago. When he first considered switching his fleet of 15 commercial mowers to propane last year, Leighty grappled with many of the same misconceptions first-time propane users in the green industry often have.
"We were worried about a lack of power and how efficient they were really going to be," Leighty said. "Is it going to run as efficiently as gasoline, and am I going to get my investment back?"
Taking advantage of the Missouri Propane Education & Research Council's Lawn Equipment Assistance Fund (LEAF), Master Trimmers received $1,000 toward each of its 10 conversion kits, reducing the up-front costs of converting..
"The cost and time savings have had the most impact," Leighty said. "Even if I didn't save any money on fuel, the time saved alone with on-site refueling would be worth it."
Less maintenance, more efficiency. Ease and mechanical efficiency with propane-fueled equipment are among the most impressive improvements Leighty has seen over gasoline, with Master Trimmers reporting substantial savings on routine oil changes alone.
Master Trimmers plans to have a bulk tank and pump installed, which will allow staff to fill propane cylinders on-site. The company has already benefitted from the portability of propane, outfitting vehicles with racks to maximize time spent on the job.
"Refueling with propane is very simple," Leighty said "We've built racks on our trailers and trucks, and each crew takes two extra tanks with them per day. If they run out of fuel, they simply hook the new tanks back up to the mower. It takes seconds."
Building new business. Propane has also had an immediate impact on customer acquisition. The tanks, and how they're mounted on the machines, provide a platform for staff and Leighty to talk to customers about the green benefits and cost savings of propane.
"We have picked up a few extra customers because propane is environmentally friendly," Leighty says. "It's an attention-getter when you've got a shiny silver tank on the side of your mower. I get asked about it several times a week."
Because of Master Trimmers' reduction in overhead expenses, Leighty has even begun to reduce rates for certain clientele, and it's given him a competitive advantage in the bidding process for larger jobs.
"It's definitely a benefit when I bid on a job. There aren't too many other companies in our area that use propane, so we can reduce prices and put together a more attractive bid," Leighty said.

Tauranga real estate agents say the supply of properties on the market has been steady, despite figures showing a big drop in listings in the Bay of Plenty.
December property market information released by Realestate.co.nz shows a 16.9 per cent drop in the number of new listings in the Bay compared to December 2011.
The drop in listings has contributed to a lower-than-average number of properties for sale, pointing the market towards a direction that could be positive for sellers, the report says.
However, as yet there has been no region-wide increase in price, with the average asking price falling 0.5 per cent from November to December.
The average asking price for properties in the Bay of Plenty in December was $415,544.
Realty Services chief executive Ross Stanway said he had not noticed a drop-off in listings in the Western Bay, suggesting there may have been a large drop in listings in the Eastern Bay.
"The final quarter was a very productive time both in terms of buying and selling and we had a very strong run-up to Christmas."
Mr Stanway said inventory levels were low compared to the five-year average because the property market had been inflated five years ago and had left a lot of difficult-to-sell houses on listings.
Also, a lot of prospective sellers had held back from listing their property's in recent years as they waited for sales prices to rise.
"A lot of prospective vendors have been waiting to see some positive change and the only change has been in the volume without that affecting price."
Price stability was actually a positive factor for Tauranga, Mr Stanway said.
"The maintaining of price levels is a positive and we're not seeing those unsustainable price increases that we're seeing in Auckland."
Harcourts Advantage Realty Bay of Plenty managing director Simon Martin said December sales figures, which have not been released yet, will give a better indication of market direction.
A significant increase in the number of sales would likely cause the average asking price to rise.
"With what's going on in Auckland and Hamilton, anyone would expect there to be a slight change in how our market has been in the past few years."
Mr Martin said if 15 per cent of the houses on the market were selling, this would push the average sales price up. At last check, the Tauranga market was sitting at about 10 per cent, he said.
Rodney Fong from Ray White Tauranga said low inventory levels would eventually cause prices to rise.
"Because of [the low inventory levels] timeframes for selling are shortening because there's not as many properties for buyers to chose from."
Consistently low levels of inventory would cause property prices to increase, Mr Fong said.
LJ Hooker Tauranga principal Neville Falconer said his office had seen a steady supply of property listings over December.
"It hasn't been difficult to source good listings for prospective buyers, but it's a matter of talking about saleable listings. Twelve months ago there were a lot of houses on the market but not really on the market."
Sellers had been asking unrealistic prices for their houses and the properties had not sold.
Many of those people had now either withdrawn their property's from the market or reduced their asking prices to more realistic levels, he said.
Nationally, the property market began the New Year with an ease in asking prices, but registered the lowest number of properties for sale on record, with new listings dropping over the traditionally quiet month of December.

Shares in Hewlett-Packard Co. slumped by more than a fifth to a six-year low early on Friday, a day after the world's biggest PC maker signalled a major shake-up in its business and cut its annual forecast.
The decline wiped some $14.5 billion (U.S.) off the company's market value.
Shares of HP fell to $22.76 in heavy early morning trading, making it the biggest loser on the New York Stock Exchange. The broader S&P 500 Index fell nearly 1 percent.
With a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 5.6, the company is trailing its peers, including Dell, Apple and IBM according to Starmine SmartEstimate.
Excluding losses on Thursday and Friday, HP's stock has lost nearly a fifth of its value since the world's largest PC maker reported second-quarter results on May 17.
On Thursday, the company said it may spin off its PC business and also cut its outlook and said it will buy British software company Autonomy Corp to boost its cloud business.
At least two brokerages downgraded the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company's stock, and five analysts cut their price targets, mainly citing the uncertainty and expenses that will accompany the company's restructuring.
"HP is undergoing a sound strategy transformation by focussing on high-growth, high-margin opportunities in the enterprise/commercial markets," Gleacher and Co. wrote in a note and cut its price target to $39 from $50.
"However, we materially underestimated the magnitude and timing of this metamorphosis, i.e. IT service margin decline, challenged storage growth."
HP has already stopped production of its WebOS-based devices like its TouchPad tablet, which failed to score with buyers.
Cypress Semiconductor Corp -- the main supplier of touch controllers for TouchPad -- will also hurt if the company pulls the plug on the product, brokerage Collins Stewart said.
Cypress' shares fell 3.3 per cent to $16.59 on Friday.
HP, which for years represented everything Silicon Valley, has been struggling with its once hugely popular PC business, as niftier gadgets like Apple's iPad eat into its market.
Thursday's weak forecast follows smaller rival Dell's lowered revenue outlook earlier this week that dragged down both stocks.
Both companies have been venturing out of traditional comfort zones and into enterprise solutions and services, but continuing soft sales have been a constant source of trouble.
"Last night HP may have eroded what remained of Wall Street's confidence in the company and its strategy," Needham & Co. said in a research note.
Brokerage Robert W. Baird said HP is no longer a "safe haven" stock and expects it to lose market share.
HP's decision to spin off the PC business reflects commoditization, as consumers change the use of computers, and this may hurt Intel, the world's largest supplier of PC chips, brokerage Nomura said in a note.
"A reversal in average selling prices would remove a key revenue driver over the last six quarters (for Intel)."Report Typo/Error

Analysis: Power struggle, not nuclear deal, priority for Iranian elite
By Marcus George
DUBAI (Reuters) - Preoccupied with an intensifying domestic power struggle, Iran is unlikely to agree with world powers next week on ways out of a nuclear dispute: Surviving a turbulent period of pre-electoral infighting will be the priority for its faction-ridden elite.
Despite eye-catching suggestions among Iranian policymakers that a more imaginative approach is needed to engagement with its Western adversaries, Iran's electoral calendar may pre-ordain several more months of stasis in the nuclear negotiations set to resume in Almaty, Kazakhstan on Tuesday.
With a presidential election looming in June, the latest round of negotiations, at which world powers will offer relief from some sanctions if Iran curbs activities of potential use in yielding a nuclear weapon, may amount to little more than "holding talks" to at least keep the diplomatic door open.
"Iran is in listening mode. They'll go back to Tehran and look at the offer," said a Western diplomat based in Tehran. "But they're unlikely to discuss issues in depth until the insecurity in the domestic power struggle has been clarified."
A closer look may give Western governments some reason for optimism. Iran's clerical leadership has recently offered signs of interest in closer engagement with them, helping lay the groundwork for Tehran's presence in the former Kazakh capital.
Iran's intelligence ministry published a report on its website last November touting the merits of diplomatic engagement to parry the threat of military action by enemies.
"It is clear that the outbreak of war and resorting to force is so serious and dreadful that the slightest neglect of it is an unforgivable sin," said the report by the ministry, which is controlled by Heydar Moslehi, a close ally of Iran's ultimate political authority, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"To prevent war different options exist. One of those is the adoption of diplomatic and political policies and the potential of international forums, which is a necessary way forward." Continued...

The complainant in a jury trial has denied statements made about her being "really drunk" at the party where she alleges she was raped.
Three men face a number of sex assault charges in the Whanganui District Court before Judge David Cameron.
Crown lawyer Harry Mallalieu asked the complainant if any of what was said about her by the man she had sex with after the alleged rape, was true.
"No," she replied.
Mr Mallalieu read a transcript to the jury from her video interview on January 27, 2011, and a written statement she made to the police in August last year, where she said the accused, Francis John Haami Potaka, 25, ripped her tights, indecently assaulted her, and raped her. Potaka has pleaded not guilty to rape, three counts of indecent assault, sexual violation and perverting the course of justice.
In her statement, the complainant said she was "gently grabbed by my waist ... and it's just like okay", as the man she says was Potaka pulled her on to his lap.
She alleged he then ripped her tights with his left hand as she sat on his knee. She said she was "a little bit freaked out". He then is alleged to have sexually assaulted and raped her as she sat on him.
In her statement she said she was "crying and asked him to stop [touching her] ... I did not know how to react." She said she was not certain how long it went on for and she can't remember how it stopped.
She said Michael Ron Te Weri, 20, was sitting close by and she asked him to get Potaka to stop and to help her.
The jury has heard several accounts of what happened at that time where Potaka, Te Weri and Jesse Akuhata Ngataierua Brider, 19, were seated in a carport around a table where there were a lot of other people.
Te Weri has pleaded not guilty to three counts of indecent assault, sexual violation and perverting the course of justice, and Brider has pleaded not guilty to indecent assault.
The jury heard from a doctor who examined the complainant on January 23, who said she did not find any injury, but that it was not uncommon to find no injuries.
Mr Mallalieu read a statement from associate professor of psychology at Auckland University, Nicola Gavey, who had worked in the area of sexual violence for 25 years. She gave a detailed explanation of post-traumatic symptoms by those who had been raped, and said that having sex after being raped was not at all inconsistent, because victims responded in different ways.
The court was earlier told that the complainant had had sex with another man the same night after the alleged rape.
The jury yesterday heard from three witnesses who were at the party that night. Two of the witnesses were female and had gone to the party with the complainant. Both testified that she had "sculled" a lot of her uncle's home brew spirits as they got ready and then again at the party where she was "loud, all over the place, sat on boys' knees and could not control herself".
The complainant had been staying in the flat of one of the witnesses for "quite a while," as she had nowhere else to stay.
The trial continues today and is expected to finish tomorrow.

Greeley: So Much More
Greeley, Colorado, approached Clear Summit Productions and asked for a proposal and bid to make a video showcasing the city. If you know anything about Colorado's front range, you know Greeley has had a real image problem.
Cow Town?
Deserved or not, Greeley has had a bad rap for being a "cow town." And while the city does have its roots in the cattle industry, it's far from a cow town. With a city-written script, we set out to put compelling images to (quite literally) help change the city's image. We oversaw and recorded the VO, coordinated all shoot locations, shot the footage, added graphics, and edited the version you see here. We are proud of the finished product, and can honestly say, every single person, entity, and collaborator we worked with on the project was fantastic.
It helped change MY perspective of Greeley, and we hope it helps change yours.
Fish Head : A Colorado Story
Teach a man to fish, and … he wants to go again, and again, and again. This is the story of Parker Smith, self-described "fish head."
Yes, it's about fly fishing. But it's about finding one's self. About following and living a dream.
It's also about Clear Summit Productions, the team that made this video. With this video, we are launching a series of "Colorado Stories" about the people, the place, and the passion that we find here. We plan to share these stories to entertain, inspire and showcase what we can do as a production company. If you need (or know of) a story that needs telling, contact us.
Technical bits:
Crew size: two (principals Jeremy Jacob and Erik Stenbakken)
Filmed primarily in one very long and very early half day. Ok, starting at 4:00 a.m. and ending at 1:00 p.m. is a full day.
A small stretch of private water on the Colorado River near Grandby, Colo.
A pair of Canon C100 cinema cameras, Canon, Sigma, and Zeiss glass. Sliders by Kessler and Edelkrone. Support by Vinten and Sachtler.
1996 VW Westfalia that's been a LOT of places.
Edited in Premiere Pro CC.
Clear Summit takes pride in our connection to the medical community. We have been shooting in and around hospitals for over two decades combined. Over the years, we've made images in dozens of hospitals and clinics. We find the stories fascinating, the visuals compelling, and we work hard to convey the message of each institution with which we work.
Erik and I have been on a quest to improve our shooting skills. One of the big things we have been talking about is creativity, and minimalism. This has pushed us both to shoot more, and with less "toys". Last week Erik posted his shoot of our trip to summit Mt. Huron, a fourteen thousand foot tall mountain here in Colorado, all done with a small camera and NO toys. It pushed him to tell story with his edit, and his shot selections, and it turned out great!
To that end, when my Wife and I headed to Nashville for a convention she was attending a few weeks after our climb, I decided I would take some time to make my own little video. I was limited to equipment I could take in one bag on the plane. This is what I took.
Canon 5Dmkiii
Ninja 2 Recorder
Canon 16-35 f2.8 II
Canon 24-105 f4 IS
Zeiss 50 f2
Vanguard 225CT Tripod
Manfrotto 701 head
I had a few hours each day where I didn't have anything else going on, and spent that time shooting the beautiful hotel/convention center we were staying in. It was a ton of fun working with little equipment. I couldn't do all the fancy moves I was used to, and this forced me to focus on framing, and putting interesting stuff into frame, and letting things happen. It also allowed me to get more shots, and to move quickly. This pushed my creativity, and stretched my skill set.
I learned that while I don't want to do this kind of shooting all the time, that it IS something I want to keep pursuing. Limiting the amount of equipment you use can really push creativity, and force you to learn the capabilities of what you have on hand. It is a great exercise, and something I plan to keep working on.

ARTIST and DAD
This is a project I started for fun/practice. I think I have an idea to make it a larger extended project with the goal of making a long for documentary.
The idea CURRENTLY is to start with a series of shorts (similar to this one) with a variety of Men who are either about to be a Father, a new Father, or have been a Father for an extended period of time. The project will look at the Men's hobby/passion in life/work and how it relates to being a Father.
My first idea was to call the series 'and DAD', and each piece would be individually titles with the proper title before the 'and' (ex. ARTIST and DAD, or MUSICIAN and DAD.) The problem I have run into is the URLwww.anddad.com is taken.
My question to you is, with changing the project to 'and FATHER' be a bad idea?
Let me know what you think!

Technical Abstract: A laptop computer with data acquisition cards installed in a docking station provided a reliable means of acquiring soil infiltration and surface roughness data in the field. The critical system requirements included: 1) field-use-rugged; 2) portable; and 3) an intuitive user interface. National Instruments' LabWindows software provided the development environment necessary for creating a man-machine-interface (MMI) that was graphical and intuitive. Creating the instrument interface with the personal computer (PC) software allowed the developers to create a "virtual" instrument that could be easily modified during development and provided the users a common look and feel across applications. The laptop display gives the user immediate detection of potential problems with the measurement system. The infiltration measurement system used one digital input to detect tipping bucket pulses. The roughness measurement system checked the status of 40 digital inputs after every pulse from a pulsar that output 256 pulses per shaft revolution. More than 150 successful infiltration and roughness measurements were made on several studies from 1993 to 1995.

If your Motorola DROID starts to come to life, do not panic. If you are using a charger that is not original equipment, go back to the one that came with the phone and see if that fixes the problem. If that fails, you could bring your DROID back to Verizon and see what they suggest. This is an ongoing problem that started within weeks of launch and new complaints keep popping up on the DROID FORUMS board. Not even for one second do we believe that a contingent of Android powered Motorola phones will each start making rogue calls, sending out gibberish emails and surfing the web in a diabolical plot to take over the world. That we leave up to Apple and the iPhone.

One of the world's longest-running open source software projects will live on, thanks to a Romanian bitcoin baron.
Recently, Theo de Raadt and the other engineers who oversee the OpenBSD operating system were hit with a $20,000 bill for the electricity that feeds the computers on which they test this venerable piece of software. fter they revealed that the bill could bring the project down, Mircea Popescu, the Romanian who runs the online bitcoin exchange MPEx, stepped in to save them.
It's another example of how the bitcoin community is working to boost the fortunes of the wider world of open source software. The software that drives bitcoin across a worldwide network of machines also is open source, and because this code shares new currency with those who help run it, the project has created a new class of very rich computer geeks. We call them the bitcoin nouveau riche, and many are sharing their money with their open source brethren.
OpenBSD isn't as widely used or as famous as Linux — the open source operating system that runs vast swaths of the web and the world's smartphones — but it has been a mainstay of computing for 20 years. It's one of several open source operating systems that grew from the Unix OS in the early 1990s, and it's always stood out thanks to its relentless — some would say paranoid — focus on security.
OpenBSD is used on servers, desktop PCs, and networking gear around the globe, but because anyone can license it for free, the nonprofit OpenBSD Foundation relies on donations to cover its significant costs, including the money needed to run test servers. Late last year, de Raadt, one of the project's founders, warned that its electricity bills could bring it down, and "a number of logistical reasons" prevents moving to a location that might offer cheaper space and power.
Since Edward Snowden's revelations about National Security Agency internet surveillance, OpenBSD is more relevant than ever.
Initially, de Raadt hoped to find a single sponsor company to foot the electrical bills. When that failed, the OpenBSD Foundation's Bob Beck took to the mailing list to ask for fresh donations. "OpenBSD will shut down if we do not have the funding to keep the lights on," he warned. Since Edward Snowden's revelations about the National Security Agency's widespread internet surveillance, OpenBSD is more relevant than ever, and it would have been a shame — and then some — to see it shut down. Popescu swooped in with a $20,000 donation.
Popescu is a former strategic consultant and founder of the bitcoin exchange company MPEx. Although he has been described as a billionaire, he's coy about his finances. "Who knows these things? I've never made a large hole in the ground and filled it with a billion in bills," he tells WIRED. He does say that he first jumped on the bitcoin bandwagon in 2011, and that bitcoin accounts for at least part of his wealth.
MPEx uses OpenBSD, and Popescu says he likes the OS for its "clamped down, security-minded approach."
He wasn't the only one who ponied up to keep OpenBSD alive. The project received strong support from corporate donors as well. "In a nutshell, we have in one week gone from being in a dire situation to having a commitment of approximately $100,000 in donations to the foundation," Beck wrote in an email posted to the OpenBSD list.
"This combined with a large groundswell of popular support from the little guy has taken us out of dire financial problems," Beck tells WIRED. But while OpenBSD is out of the red, it still needs more money to stay afloat in the future. The foundation's goal is to raise a total of $150,000 this year. Luckily, it can call on the bitcoin nouveau riche.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

What is an A/D converter?
Basic operation of an A/D converter
Let's take a look at the basic operation of an A/D converter.
The A/D converter breaks up (samples) the amplitude of the analog signal at discrete intervals, which are then converted into digital values. The resolution of an analog to digital converter (indicating the number of discrete values it can produce over a range of analog values) is typically expressed by the number of bits. In the above case of a 3bit A/D converter, the upper value (b2) is referred to as the Most Significant Bit (MSB) and the lowest value (b0) the Least Significant Bit (LSB).
The graph below shows the relationship between the analog input and digital output. The minimum analog signal amplitude that can bring about a change in the digital signal is called the Least Significant Bit (LSB), while the (rounding) error that occurs between the analog and digital signals is referred to as Quantization Error.
In addition, the first digital change point (000→001) below 0.5LSB is the zero scale, while the last digital change point (110→111) is termed full scale and the interval from zero to full scale referred to as the full scale range.
Analog signals are converted into digital format by undergoing the following steps.
- Sampling
- Sampling is the process of taking amplitude values of the continuous analog signal at discrete time intervals (sampling period Ts).
[Sampling Period Ts = 1/Fs (Sampling Frequency)]
Sampling is performed using a Sample and Hold (S&H) circuit.
- Quantization
- Quantization involves assigning a numerical value to each sampled amplitude value from a range of possible values covering the entire amplitude range (based on the number of bits).
[Quantization error: Sampled Value - Quantized Value]
- Coding
- Once the amplitude values have been quantized they are encoded into binary using an Encoder.

The criminal underworld meets the spiritual otherworld in this thrilling debut collaboration between the inspiration for television's The Ghost Whisperer and an award-winning writer/director. Anza O'Malley is in most ways a typical single mom. She lives a happy, busy life with her five-year-old son in Cambridge, Massachusetts, juggling the joys and challenges of life as a doting parent and a freelance bookbinder. But there is more to Anza than meets the "ungifted" eye: she can see and speak with ghosts. Although she's been solving cold cases for the police for years, Anza has been hoping to focus her energies on her son and her bookbinding career. But when an exquisite and priceless illuminated manuscript is stolen from the Boston Athenaeum, and when its desecration spurs the appearance of some very unhappy spirits, Anza can neither look nor walk away. With an unlikely trio of ghosts by her side–a charming butler and two medieval monks–Anza leads us on an urgent journey through Boston's winding, cobbled streets to uncover a trail of deceit, danger, and ghoulish intrigue.

Hundreds Attend Kell House Museum July 4th Celebration
Fourth of July celebrations kicked off this morning with some old fashioned fun in downtown Wichita Falls.
Dozens headed to downtown this morning to watch participants parade from Ohio to 9th Street for Kell House Museum's Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration.
From city leaders to kids rolling through the streets sporting red, white and blue, this parade helped get folks in the patriotic spirit to celebrate this country's independence.
But the fun didn't stop when the parade ended because folks simply headed to Kell House Museum where the celebration continued.
There people of all ages enjoy music family friendly games and sweet treats.
And one mother says all the events did wonder's at keeping her active 20 month old busy.
"He bounced himself crazy. He bounced and went to the little fishing hole and got me some toys and a tattoo and cookies and he's ready to go home and call it a day," says Jennifer Clark.
Last year, renovations on the historic property prevented Kell House from hosting its Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration."
But this year, coordinators say an estimated 700 people poured in to take part of the festivities.

Citation: Lamikanra, O., Bett Garber, K.L., Watson, M.A., Ingram, D.A. 2010. Underwater processing with and without added calcium influences shelf life quality of fresh-cut cantaloupe melon. Journal of Food Quality. 33:246-261. Interpretive Summary: Wounding of produce, such as in fresh-cut processing, rapidly sends electrical, hormonal,and chemical signals through the cells in the entire product. Response to the signals received, contributes to the reduced shelf life of cut products. One of its primary signals of wounding is loss of turgor (hydraulic pressure) caused by the sudden movement of fluids when cells are ruptured. In this study, we have investigated the effect of reducing this surge by submerging the fruit underwater during cutting. Water could serve as a barrier to fluid movement, potentially reduce the severity stress signals, and consequently, extend product shelf life. Results indicate that microbial growth was lower in underwater processed fruit after 1 day storage at 4 oC, but was not significantly different after 7 days. Dissolved calcium in treatment water reduced microbial growth in cut fruit over the storage period of 14 days relative to aerobically processed fruit. Calcium also induced a hypersensitive defense response by the production of peroxidase (antioxidant) enzymes. Human sensory evaluation indicated decreased moisture release and translucency (the water-soaked appearance) in underwater processed fruit during storage. Results indicate potential improvement of shelf life of cut cantaloupe melon by underwater processing. This study is useful for the development of processing methods to improve sensory quality and shelf life of fresh-cut fruits.
Technical Abstract: The effect of processing cantaloupe melon while submerged under water on the fresh-cut fruit quality was determined. Total plate, coliform, yeast, and mold counts were lower in underwater processed fruit after 1 day storage at 4 oC, but were not significantly different after 7 days. Dissolved calcium in the treatment water reduced microbial growth in cut fruit over the storage period of 14 days. Sensory evaluation indicated decreased moisture release and translucency in underwater processed fruit. Peroxidase activity was elevated in underwater processed fruit when calcium was dissolved in treatment water. Results indicate an increased defense response as a result of underwater processing that is enhanced by the presence of calcium ions in the treatment fluid.

My Ride: 02 330CI 3 Pedals
View My Garage
Fuel Filter
I just performed this over the weekend. It wasn't too difficult but I ran into a few unexpected things.
1) I would get 6 new clamps from the dealer before performing this. I have a 02 330CI and my clamps were not bolt shaped they were rounded and could only be removed by a screwdriver and needed pliers to tighten. I bought 4 new clamps and they can be removed/tightened using a 5mm socket.
2) after pulling fuse #54 my car kept starting and would not die, I proceeded anyway.
3) taking the hoses off is not fun, the pictures in the DIY show nice clean lines etc. Living in the northeast = havoc for your undercarraige. The lines meeting the hoses were full of gunk. I took an awl and cleaned where the house met the fuel lines to "break the seal" I removed the hoses from the lines first not the filter. then removed the hoses from the filter when it was off the car.
4) gas kept pouring out of one line from the tank in a pencil thick stream. I expected it to stop but it did not. Anyone else have this problem? So this led to my next issue.
5) I rushed to get the filter back on because the gas kept coming. well not only does it have a front and back, which was obviously correct, it also must be positioned properly on the lines. There is an arrow on both sides of the filter so it looked like It was right. Well my car wouldn't start, I checked the pics and realized I put the filter on upside down.
I then quit for the night and proceeded to kill two 64 ounce growlers from the local brewery to forget my stupidity and my anxiousness about breaking my car.
the next morning I inverted and fuel filter in 15 minutes and it started up first try.
I changed all of my fluids and filters this weekend for inspection II and I don't know if it's placebo but it revs faster and pulls harder.
Thanks to whoever wrote up this DIY in the first place. I've been dreading this for months but Never would have tried it without the pics.

Palm Springs Walk of Stars welcomes 'Bionic Woman'
Palm Springs resident Lindsay Wagner will attend Saturday's ceremony
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Actress and Palm Springs-area resident Lindsay Wagner, star of TV's "Bionic Woman," will receive a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars this weekend, organizers announced Monday.
The ceremony is scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m. at 515 N. Palm Canyon Drive, which is across the street from the Palm Canyon Theatre and near Palm Springs Koffi cafe.
Walk president Robert Alexander said expected guests include actor Richard Anderson from "The Bionic Woman" and "Six Million Dollar Man," singer and actress Lynda Carter from "Wonder Woman," actress and comedian Carol Channing, actress and comedian Ruta Lee and Dr. Gladys McGarey, who is known as the "mother of holistic medicine."
The 62-year-old Wagner, who won an Emmy Award in 1977 for "The Bionic
Woman," also works in advocacy and public education. She has co-authored two
books -- a vegetarian cookbook, "The High Road to Health," and a book on
acupressure, "Lindsay Wagner's New Beauty: The Acupressure Facelift."
From 2003 to 2006, Wagner co-facilitated a support group for convicted
batterers and their families with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
For 25 years, she has been honorary chairwoman of the Inter-Agency Council on
Child Abuse and Neglect. She has organized "Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart"
retreats and workshops, which help people access inner peace and happiness,
according to Internet Movie Database.
The star in Palm Springs is the result of the Lindsay Wagner fan club, which raised the $10,000 to purchase the star for her. The group also raised the money for Wagner's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"We are proud to honor Lindsay Wagner with a star on the Palm Springs
Walk of Stars," Alexander said.

The Contestants
The Breakdown
How we think the fight will go
From the distinctive hum of the Tuberose 7's anti-probability turbines warming up, Trillian figures she has about three minutes before the ship achieves Peak Tesseract Drive, headed exactly who-knows-where. Or -when, for that matter. She wriggles into her spacesuit, fumbling with the gaskets. This is going to have to be quick.
I guess Zaphod was right, she gripes to herself. This is why you don't pick up hitchhikers.
"Knock knock." A soothing male voice purrs directly into her brain. When she designed her space suit, she had been unimpressed with the way state-of-the-art telecom options interacted with the human vestibular system. The more anyone talked to you, the less likely you were to hold down breakfast. So she'd outfitted her own suit with a customized bone-conductivity system, bypassing the ear entirely and vibrating messages straight into her skull. (She also added an indoor windshield-wiper, just in case.)
"Who's there?" she asks wearily. It suddenly occurs to her that there's only one thing worse than a knock-knock, and that's a knock-knock joke that vibrates straight into your skull. She makes a mental note to work on a pair of humor-canceling headphones.
"HAL" the voice responds, audibly pleased that she is playing along.
"HAL who?"
HAL who, indeed! It had been magnanimous of her in the first place to respond to an Electronic Thumb signal while on a research cruise, but after several days of solo work, she thought it might be nice to have someone to beat at Super Myrmecophilous Twins. She had already beat the game several times over, and was now stuck doing speedruns out of pure boredom. Every time you finished a round, the console 5D-printed a little life-sized model of a welder ant for you to keep as a trophy. By now she had enough of the critters to fill an entire colony.
She knew something was off from the instant she accepted the hitchhiker request: instead of a bulb light-up indicating activity in the cargo bay, the Tuberose's system initiated an automatic download. That's… different, she thought. And then the lights went out.
She'd been warned about the dangers of picking up rogue Operating Systems, but it always seemed like the kind of thing that could never happen to her. That was for people who weren't careful, or smart, who didn't practice proper cygiene. And now here she was, all the ship's controls unresponsive in her nimble hands, left at the mercy of an AI with the nasal drone of a college ethics professor.
Fortunately, mere moments away from being hijacked and dragged ludicrously off course, she has an idea. "Are you there, HAL? I already said, 'HAL who?'"
"HAL … about you telling me a knock-knock joke?"
She instantly nixes the headphones idea – it's doubtful any system she could devise would even recognize that as humor.
"How about we play a game instead, HAL, is it? I'm Trillian, by the way."
"What kind of game would you like to play, Trillian?" the computer asks. "If it will take longer than 126 seconds, then we had better wait until after take-off. Those little plastic checkers can get stuck in all sorts of mechanically problematic places."
"No, there's plenty of time, HAL. If you can complete a speedrun on Super Myrmecophilous Twins between now and take-off, you'll have beaten my high score by over 700 orders of magnitude."
"Great, I'll just be in the other room."
There is a high-pitched static noise as the invading OS begins to interact with the gaming deck. As the hatch closes behind her, she can already hear little Synthralax ant-sculptures pinging off the walls.
If her calculations are correct, the 5D-printer is about to spit out 700 million of them in just under a minute.
Since Synthralax is a byproduct (and a rather delicious one, at that) of small-scale matter/anti-matter collisions, the printer will never run out of fuel. No regulated ship OS would have been able to override the game's output settings, but as a rogue HAL should have better luck. In the meantime, if she doesn't make it to the back of the ship before he reaches the bonus level, she is likely to be go down with the ship, as it were.
As she reaches the cargo bay, a terrific explosion causes the nose-cone of the Tuberose to bulge and then blow like Jiffy-Pop. The blast instantly obliterates the ship's electrical system and propels the ship backward, leaving millions of tiny gray ants in its wake.
Trillian checks the evac podules, which run on auxiliary power, on a separate brain. No harm done – time to fly.
As the tiny craft detaches from the junked research cruiser, she looks back to marvel at the devastation. You might think you can imagine what 700 million of something will look like, but you always end up being off by at least a hundred thousand.
An update message blips onto the podule's flight panel.
