Ripoff Report
Lancaster county children and youtheast king street Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA
Lancaster county children and youth Peggy griffin Ann myister Cy's won't give my daughter back Lancaster Pennsylvania
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Me and my partner have a 5 month old baby girl. She was born 9 weeks prematurely at woman and babies hospital in Lancaster county, in November of 2013. We had gone to the nicu religiously everyday and even spent nights there with her. at that time I was staying with my aunt and aunt and uncle because we Were saving up for our own place. A caseworker Peggy griffin was out to the home and approves it. But when my daughter was about to be released from the hospital she filed a petition to take her into foster care for absured reasons. She all of a sudden changed her mind saying the house was not appropriate and smelled of cat urin. (At which it did not) on December 16th 2013 she was released from the hospital and taken into foster care on a heart monitor. Peggy griifin went as far as to call the hospital and said the parents are not to be present at all that day.
We have been to court and the judge had ordered she stay in care until we have obtained and maintained housing. We have gotten our own place and have provided rent recites and utility reciets. We have also had phycological evaluations and have asked for the acengy to set up parenting classes. They have refused to set up anything! We have done all this on our own and are enrolled in parenting classes that we set up. We also have asked the agency to come inspect the house for over a month now. She decided to call the day she was supposed to come do the inspection and canceled with no givin reason. We go back to court in may and we are hoping the judge can see that we are fighting hard for her and doing everything on our own. That agency is supposed to be there to help you get your child back but it seems like all they do is target people and take their child or children with no intentions of giving them back! This sickens me that this agency can take children from innocent people and make a profit from it. Please spread story so we can stop this from happening. My child belongs at home with her loving mother and father in our safe home. Not with people she doesn't know and who are only in it foroney.

Back to home
The following is an early draft of a scene from the screenplay to the Touchstone Pictures release High Fidelity, starring John Cusack, directed by Stephen Frears, based on the best-selling novel by Nick Hornby. The scene was originally adapted from a Pitchfork review by Nick Mirov.
BARRY enters the store.ROBWhat's playing?
DICKIt's the new Belle & Sebastian. You like it?
ROBI don't know. Yeah, I guess.
DICKYeah. [pause] But it's really not as good as their older stuff. I mean, there are some good songs on here, I guess, but they're not as good as anything from If You're Feeling Sinister, or even The Boy with the Arab Strap. It's weird, because the songs definitely sound better, but the album is still kind of disappointing.
ROB [half paying attention]Hmm.
DICKBut, then, you know how when you really like a band, the first album you've heard by them usually stands out as the best? I mean, after that first great album you hear, bands pretty rarely measure up to your expectations again.
ROBYeah, that seems to happen a lot.
DICKSo, maybe this is really a decent album that I just don't like because my expectations are too skewed. But it certainly isn't the best thing Belle & Sebastian have ever done. Maybe half the album is good, but given these guys' track record, half a good album doesn't cut it.
ROBWhat's the problem with it?
DICKWell, Belle & Sebastian used to be just Stuart Murdoch's songs, but on Arab Strap, the other members started contributing songs, too. That's not so much the problem, though, because Isobel Campbell's two tracks here are really good. It's Stevie Jackson and Stuart David's songs that get on my nerves. "Beyond the Sunrise" is so pallid and lugubrious it's silly, and "The Wrong Girl" seems too insipidly poppy.
ROB (sarcastically)A Belle & Sebastian song that's too poppy?
DICKHey, Stuart Murdoch's best songs have always been breezy, but they're usually given heft by dry wit and eccentric detail. On this album, his better songs are the sadder, more serious ones-- "I Fought in a War" and "The Chalet Lines." His lighter, more pop-driven songs come off more like parodies of Belle & Sebastian songs, or, at best, outtakes from past albums. "The Model" and "Women's Realm" sound like he's trying too hard, cramming in as much lyrical and musical detail as he can. All that decoration just crushes the song, which, you know, wasn't that great in the first place.
ROBSo, you don't like the record, then.
DICKNo, no, it's okay. But like I said, it's disappointing. I think in the long run, I'll listen to Sinister and even Arab Strap more than this one.
BARRY ejects the tape from the stereo and tosses it over his shoulder towards DICK.BARRYHoly shit! What the fuck is that?
ROBIt's the tape we've been listening to. And enjoying.
BARRY (to DICK)Yours, I assume?

PACIFIC GROVE >> An English-backed company wants to make Pacific Grove one of two California cities it wires with a high-speed fiber-optics network.
The network, which would offer internet speeds 20 times faster than existing systems, is being offered to the city as a large, very expensive test market.
"They are building these networks on spec," said Kurt Overmeyer, city economics development director.
The Pacific Grove City Council on Wednesday will consider approving development and license agreements with SiFi Networks that would allow it to install its "fiber-to-the-curb" network throughout the city.
The company, which has wired communities in the United Kingdom but not in the U.S., would spend an estimated $30 million to $40 million to wire Pacific Grove. "It's a huge investment," Overmeyer said.
The cost to the city would be virtually nothing — aside from some staff time checking plans and providing technical advice, a council report says.
"I can't figure out the downside. The worst case would be they build part and have to sell off to someone else," Overmeyer said.
The upside would be to give Pacific Grove a new network with world-class speeds, capable of serving many existing and emerging technology businesses that are heavy data users.
"It really changes things for our residents and our business community," Overmeyer said. Even in Silicon Valley, there aren't many systems like this.
He estimated it would take eight to 18 months to finish installing the fiber-optic lines in city streets, using relatively unobtrusive methods that would create only "minor disruptions."
The proposed contract would require completion within two years. A council report says the project would be exempt from the state environmental quality act. "There is not an environmental impact of any measure. You are just adding pipe underground where there already are lots of pipes," he said.
Other telecommunication companies would be able to lease bandwidth on the system. While there have been community concerns raised about electromagnetic radiation from wireless communications, Overmeyer said that likely wouldn't be the case with the fiber-optic system
"There's no emf radiation in fiber-optic" transmission, he said.
SiFi Networks is backed by the Pickstock Group in London, an international construction company, a council report says. The company said this month that only 7.7 percent of U.S. broadband subscribers have fiber-optic connections, ranking the country 14th in the world.

When we got to Machu Picchu, it was rainy and cold. However, it cleared up by late morning. Jose gave us a tour of the ruins in the early morning, then around 10 am we climbed the nearby mountain to get the famous view of Machu Picchu! I couldn't believe that we were climbing another mountain, but once we arrived at the top, it was all worth the trek up!
Machu Picchu is definitely one of the wonders of the word. It is incredible to imaging people 600 years ago carrying stones up this mountain, sculpting them to perfection, and creating such a beautiful city!
Again, pictures say a thousand words.....so enjoy the photos!

May 19, 2009 By Jim McKay, Editor
Joseph Bruno was appointed commissioner of the New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in March 2004, and has since overseen the city's adoption of the Citywide Incident Management System; the growth of Ready New York, the city's preparedness campaign; and helped create Notify NYC, an emergency notification system for city residents.
Emergency Management magazine asked him about the city's plans for stimulus money, as well as public-private partnerships, community outreach programs and more.
Q: What effects have the stimulus package had on your jurisdictional plans?
Bruno: The stimulus package in New York is going to be used mainly on infrastructure - rebuilding bridges. There are six basic projects and about 12 additional projects. Bridges are big, there's some roadway stuff and also a little bit of work on the ferry terminal.
One of the projects is to work on the resiliency of the Brooklyn Bridge in different portions of its infrastructure, some of which I don't really want to go into detail about: resiliency for ordinary incidents, but also for hazards like hurricanes and other things that might come in.
It's important to us that the more we put into infrastructure, the more it will be able to withstand emergencies that occur here. Maintaining transportation networks and routes, which is part of what they're doing, helps us also. It cuts back on the number of emergencies.
Q: Were these projects in the works before the stimulus package?
Bruno: Some were in the works and some were definitely on hold because of the economy, so we were able to fire them up. The projects were ready to go within a reasonable amount of time. So I think they all were planned, but they certainly all weren't ongoing. The stimulus package has helped because it has allowed six major projects and about 12 additional projects to move forward.
Q: More than a dozen private-sector groups operate alongside you in the city's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). What are these groups?
Bruno: We're probably one of the few cities that have such a strong relationship with the private sector and really incorporate it into our EOC. They sit there with the mayor and whoever else is going to be there, and they are observing and learning.
We have, for example, private universities. We have the Hotel Association of New York City, which covers an enormous number of hotels, hospitalities and institutions. We have the Real Estate Board, which is the ownership of the major real estate in New York - a very large and influential group.
Next are the financial and banking institutions. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, Wall Street and the Food Industry Alliance of New York State are others. The city is filled with restaurants, and a lot of things that occur could affect lots of restaurants, so [the New York State Restaurant Association] sits in the EOC.
The New York City Business Improvement District [participates]. They are the areas of the city, like Grand Central, Times Square, Downtown Brooklyn, part of Coney Island, and all of Midtown and Lower Manhattan that have been designated as business improvement districts - there are now more than 100 of them. They're in Queens, the Bronx and all these areas where industry has continued to grow, business has become more consolidated and it's a distinct area. The good part about them is they give us great access to small businesses when something bad happens.

INEVITABLY, there are a few days each summer when about all I can do is put together a salad. That's when I turn to the grill and convert a bunch of greens into something I consider a main course. (Restaurants that charge $15 for ''grilled chicken Caesar'' have also figured this out.)
There is no limit to what you can throw on a bed of greens, of course, but I think this preparation, featuring squid treated the way a lot of shellfish is in northern Spain, is especially fine at this time of year. The dish is light, ridiculously fast, a bit unusual and good. The quick marinade of olive oil and lemon -- more a shower than a bath -- is great with all types of shellfish, and even fin fish. (Substitute sherry vinegar for the lemon juice if you prefer.)
Apartment dwellers can prepare this, too, because cooking squid a la plancha -- on a piping-hot griddle -- is also traditional. Get a heavy pan really hot, turn on the exhaust fan, temporarily disable the smoke detector and toss the marinated squid on. It will brown in about a minute a side.
Cooking squid is a bit of a mystery to many people. The old advisory ''cook for two minutes or two hours'' makes a little bit of sense, because squid is relatively tender when barely cooked and becomes somewhat tender again when cooked a long time. In between it can be superchewy, but the fact is that squid is never truly tender. But why should it be? Neither lobster nor skirt steak is ever tender, and no one minds.Continue reading the main story
The job will be easier if you buy cleaned squid; it's often sold frozen in supermarkets, and defrosts quickly in cold water. To ease turning, arrange the squid bodies and tentacle clusters on pairs of parallel skewers, with four or five bodies and clusters on each pair. Brown them as quickly as you can on both sides, and they will be as done as need be. Washing and drying the greens probably will take you more time than that.
Time: 20 minutes
2 pounds cleaned squid, bodies left whole (tentacles optional), rinsed and dried
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 or 3 lemons
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
6 cups arugula or mesclun
3 or 4 shallots, thinly sliced (optional).
1. Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be quite hot, with rack no more than 4 inches from heat source. If using wood skewers, soak them thoroughly in water.
2. Toss squid with 2 tablespoons oil, juice of 1 lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. Let sit while grill heats, tossing occasionally. Skewer squid on parallel skewers to facilitate turning. When fire is hot, grill squid until nicely browned, turning once. Total cooking time will be about 5 minutes.
3. Toss greens with remaining olive oil, juice of 1 or 2 lemons (to taste), salt, pepper and shallots. Top with squid, drizzle all with a little more lemon juice and serve.
Yield: 4 servings.Continue reading the main story

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
Provides invoicing features for Drupal Commerce using Orders. This differs from Commerce Invoice in that it uses existing entity types rather than introducing a new "invoice" entity type; this results in less complexity and less duplicated code.
This module introduces a new "Invoice" state for orders as well as an invoice property for products and line items. Products can be configured to default to an invoice product by product type. Line items will be considered to be part of an invoice if their invoice property is set. By default, the invoice property on line items will be the same as the product that they reference. However, the line item can be updated to override the value on the product.
If the invoice property of a line item is set, the quantity field will be disabled for users that do not have permission to administer invoices and the delete/remove button will convert the order back to an invoice. The conversion involves removing all non-invoice line items and setting the order's status to "Invoice".

Search on for missing Bangladesh army officers
Two teams of the army personnel have entered the BDR complex.
Dhaka: Army tanks rolled into the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) headquarters, where mutinous troopers who had battled the army for 33-hours had been holed up, in the capital city on Friday morning as search operations for missing officers began.
Army troops, backed by six tanks and 20 armoured vehicles, entered the sprawling BDR compound on Friday morning through the main entrance, bdnews24.com reported.
The troops used loudhailers to ask people to move away as they drove up the Satmasjid Road from their overnight base in the residential neighbourhood Dhanmondi.
"Keep quiet. No slogans, please," a soldier said.
The army was conducting search and rescue operations at the BDR headquarters. At least two teams of the army personnel headed by two brigadiers general entered the complex at about 1030 hours (IST), a television channel reported.
The mutiny by the BDR troopers broke out Wednesday morning when they took control of their headquarter in the capital city. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina offered general amnesty to them, but the troopers were defiant and refused to lay down arms.
The government held talks with a delegation of the mutineers on Thursday and an agreement was reached but by that time, the mutiny spread to other BDR camps located all over the country.
The revolt ended in the face of an imminent attack by the Bangladesh Army which moved tanks into position outside the BDR headquarters. The mutineers then laid down their arms.

Atlanta's Tax-for-Transportation Vote Is Today
(Jim Burress - Atlanta, WABE for Marketplace) Atlanta traffic stinks. I live just eight miles from work, but it often takes an hour or more to get home. So, let's start the car, start the stopwatch and see how tonight's commute shapes up.
There's an acronym you're about to see a lot -- "T-SPLOST." Like "y'all" and "bless your heart," T-SPLOST is an expression that's inserted itself into our vernacular down here. It stands for "Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax." It's a 1 percent sales tax that over 10 years will generate more than $8 billion for regional transportation projects. It's safe to say everyone in Atlanta hates our traffic. It's just as safe to say that's where the agreement ends.
"If we are successful on Tuesday," says Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, "we'll move the equivalent of 72,000 cars each day from our roads."
Governor Nathan Deal agrees. "We have to do something to address the transportation and transit needs of our state."
It's not every day Atlanta's Democratic mayor the Republican governor agree. But they -- and a lot of other unlikely allies - -are campaigning for the T-SPLOST. They say it will ease congestion and create jobs.
It might even make it easier to get to the ballgame, says Atlanta Braves executive VP Mike Plant. "The No. 1 reason year-in and year-out that people tell us they don't come to more games is because of the traffic."
That's the case for the transit tax. This is the case against. State Senator Vincent Fort, a Democrat, hates the measure. Sweat saturates his white "Vote No on T-SPLOST" T-Shirt as he knocks on Joyce Engram's front door. "This is going [to be a] tax on your groceries and your medicine," he tells her. "So I hope you'll vote against it."
If the T-SPLOST passes, Atlanta's sales tax would jump from 8 to 9 percent. The extra penny would go toward transportation.
Emgram tells Fort: "I'm going to vote against it. I needed to know. But I'm definitely going to vote against it. You can believe that."
As we continue down the street, Fort smiles at the thought of taking on big business, powerful politicians and well-funded interest groups. And possibly winning.
"We've got about $800," he says. "They've got about $8 million and we're beating 'em."
The "we" he's referring to is an unlikely alliance, including pro-transit folks, an environmental group, even the Tea Party.
"This coalition, this is unprecedented," says Debby Dooley, one of 22 original founders of the Tea Party. "You know when these coalitions [come] together -- groups that are normally on the opposite end of the spectrum -- come together in solidarity on the same issue, that should send huge red flags that this project list is seriously flawed."
Oh, the project list. Back here in my car, I've gone three miles in 23 minutes. I'm stuck on the "Downtown Connector," where Interstates 75 and 85 merge and run through the heart of the city. Fourteen lanes of stopped traffic. A few years ago the Connector made the list for the top 10 most congested roadways in the nation. But it's not one of the 157 projects the new tax would fund. That's one reason State Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers broke ranks with fellow Republicans to oppose the tax.
"A more reasonable approach," he says, "would be to have traffic engineers sit down, and literally list the most congested traffic problems in metro Atlanta."
Instead, a roundtable of local elected officials came up with the list. So if you're keeping track of who's cuddled up in this unlikely anti-T-SPLOST bed, we've got one of the state's top Republicans, a popular Democratic senator, and a founder of the Tea Party. Even the head of Georgia's Sierra Club is anti-T-SPLOST.
If the T-SPLOST passes, there's a lot of money in it for MARTA. No, that's not the name of another strange bedfellow. It is the name of our mass transit system. Connie Suhr rides MARTA a few days a week from her suburban home into downtown where she works. She admits it's a bit strange for someone who rides the train to oppose a project that expands the system. But she says this whole issue is a bit strange.
"I have aligned myself with people against the T-SPLOST that I would not normally have done," Suhr says. "I can't say particularly why. We all have our different reasons. But I also run into enough people who are in favor of it. I think it will be a very interesting fight."
Home: 49 minutes, 25 seconds. Not too bad, but I'm still a frazzled. Is a commute like that, 8 miles and three-quarters of an hour enough to get the tax passed? Polls suggest maybe not, but it's up to the voters to decide tomorrow.

Let's see, what have we here? Private prison corporation executives: check. Abusive husband: check. Witness tampering: check. Threats to use political clout to have abused spouse deported if she doesn't keep her mouth shut about being slapped around: check.
Wow. Some highlights.
Boulder County jury finds high-level prison exec engaged in 'outrageous conduct'
– Verdict against GEO Group senior VP Thomas Wierdsma stems from domestic abuse case involving son, daughter-in-law
Beatrix Szeremi just wanted the abuse to stop.
For more than a year, Szeremi said she had endured multiple drunken beatings, a near drowning in a bathtub, and an attempted suffocation with a pillow — all at the hands of her husband, Charles Wierdsma. Continue reading

Nott'm Forest 3-2 Barnsley
- From the section Football
Darius Henderson netted a late winner as Nottingham Forest overcame Barnsley.
The home side took the lead when Simon Cox slotted in after a Jamie Mackie shot had been parried, only for Chris O'Grady to equalise through a penalty.
Kelvin Etuhu's own goal put Forest back in front but a stunning 30-yard Tomasz Cywka free-kick levelled matters again.
Forest's Jamie Paterson was denied by the post before fellow substitute Henderson thumped in a header from Andy Reid's cross to win it.
Forest manager Billy Davies was forced to watch the match from the stands as he served a one-match touchline ban from a 2-1 defeat by Wigan in his side's last game.
He saw Cox go close to opening the scoring only for the striker's shot to bounce away off the inside of the woodwork before 41-year-old Barnsley keeper Mike Pollitt - making his 500th career league start - did superbly to deny Mackie.
However, when Pollitt parried another Mackie effort, Cox pounced to put Forest ahead.
The lead lasted less than two minutes as Guy Moussi was punished for a challenge on David Perkins and O'Grady converted from the spot.
A Reid free-kick was deflected on to the Barnsley bar before the midfielder had a hand in Forest's second as his cross led to Etuhu steering the ball into his own net.
A powerfully struck free-kick from Cywka restored parity but Barnsley were hanging on as an effort from Paterson hit the post.
The visitors finally succumbed when Henderson struck after 84 minutes to leave the Tykes as the only club without an away point in the Championship so far this season.
Nottingham Forest deputy manager David Kelly:
"The substitutions were very productive, they worked really well - the gaffer is really big on making impact substitutions.
"[The substitutes] did very well when they came on, helping us to win a game we deserved to win.
"I have spoken to the gaffer and he is pleased, obviously very pleased. We were patient and we have a never-say-die attitude. The players have a desire and a will to win."
Barnsley boss David Flitcroft:
"It was an open encounter and I was happy with how my team tried to create chances, but I am disappointed that we did not take a point.
"We did not deserve to win the game, they had a lot of good chances and Mike Pollitt was in excellent form.
"But the penalty was deserved and if you see a better goal than the one from Cywka today I would be surprised.
"I wanted the lads to dig in for one more moment - but they didn't. We have not got anything, but I am happy that we only have a few days until we play again (at Bournemouth)."

Jim Norton, AOL's New Head of Sales, Shares his 2012 Advertising Expectations
Feb 14, 2012
Jim Norton, Head of AOL Sales, recently sat down with Katie Bronnenkant of "The Makegood" to discuss his new role. The interview covers a range of topics including Norton's predictions for 2012 advertising trends, the power of the social platform, and the reasoning behind his transition from traditional to digital media. Here are some selected highlights from the article:
The Makegood: Jim, you have spent about 20 years in sales and marketing roles, working in both traditional and digital media for companies including WLVI-TV and Google. What motivated you to make the move from traditional to digital media?
JN: I made the switch in 2006 from traditional to digital. What I kept hearing from customers on the traditional side was a call for metrics and measurement and the "ask" to justify every advertising buy. It was clear that even traditional media buyers were beginning to look at their business through a digital lens.
I decided to take the customer service aspect of traditional and marry that with the analytics and heavy metrics of digital. It was a good combination for me personally. It was clear too that digital was seeing year-over-year gains and TV was not. So ultimately digital was the place to be.
The Makegood: Are there any new initiatives that you can tell us about that marketers can expect to see coming from AOL in 2012?
JN: We are focused on the priorities that we have messaged consistently over the last 2 years: Creating high quality content experiences for consumers as scale. We are going to continue to invest in premium formats (Project Devil) and you will see that available at greater scale; video and mobile will continue to offer robust targeting capabilities and across higher quality content experiences; and we remain committed and enthusiastic about the local opportunity that Patch offers to marketers as they try to move users from pages to parking lots. This is the year we will unleash the power of the social platform that is the Huffington Post.

Now What?
This is the list of everything I`ve replaced brake wise on my 86 Olds cutlass.
Master Cylinder, rear cylinders, rear shoes, rear hubs, combo valve, front bleeder valves. Front rotors and calipers are fine. I just finished installing the combo valve, it`s a new GM unit. The car still has little brakes, I`ve bled them until hell wouldn`t have them all the way around 4 times, used synthetic fluid, the pedal goes almost to the floor before it stops, it stops okay, but it`s still not right, there isn`t any leaks in the system, anyone else have any other ideas? the pedal should start stopping long before it does and I dunno where else to look. any help is appreciated.
Are the rear shoes adjusted properly? You can do a quickie check with the emergency brake. If they stop about half way to the floor or less, the adjustment is probably not an issue. If they go straight to the floor or close to it I would look at shoe adjustment.
It's often the little overlooked things that'll bite ya'. For example here a while back I was at work and the guy in the next bay was having a no pedal problem with a new brake job. After a good while he asked me if I'd have a look. The pedal felt mushy like air in the system, but he swore to me there's no air in the system (with all the bleeding he did there shouldn't have been). So I take a quick look at all he touched doing this job and noticed he had the calipers on the wrong sides. With'em on the wrong sides the bleeders were at the bottom and wouldn't let any air escape. Boy did I ever razz him about that one for a long time afterwards........
now what
As mentioned, it can be a silly thing. Just for grins, did the replacement MC match the old one exactly in the cup depth for the pushrod? Did you change the pushrod length by chance?
An 86 Olds may just have a "quick take-up mastercylinder" Which is a high volume mastercylinder. It is identified by half of its bore being significantly larger than the other half. It also has an upward rake to it under the hood. Look into the resivoir when you are bleeding it. Does a mass of tiny bubbles appear every time you pump the pedal? If they do appear, then you have a qtu master cyl. If you do have this type, then you need to go through a special bleeding procedure. If you use the standard bleeding techniques, then you will not get any pedal. Check the type through your local dealer, and then post whether you have this type or not.
Did you replace the flexible lines?

Dance behemoths Alex Metric and Jacques Lu Cont have teamed up on Ministry of Sound to create the ultimate electro summer anthem with a little help from one of Niki & The Dove's members Malin.
First premiered as a dub remix on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last month, this proper version (without any DJs talking over it) features joy-laden vocals from Niki & The Dove's Malin Dahlström and manages to harness all the things that make my perfect dancefloor banger; slowburn intro, suspenseful chords, hint of melancholy quickly giving way to eventual euphoria and an uplifting chorus that everyone can shout along to (even if it does include the line "I'll break my back for you"...gay). I've really gone off 'EDM' lately, but this one doesn't do too badly in what seems like a never-ending world of electronic shit. Peep it!

Stainless steel threaded magnetic claspJanuary 9, 2015
Love this clasp but don't make the same mistake I did. I glued the leather in and then left the cylinder tube partly over the magnetic ends. There must have been some glue oozed out and glued the cylinder so it will not move. Just make sure the cylinder is way back over the leather.

I see that Sarah Arnold of Can. Jr. dance team Arnold & Steeves is also on IPSearch, also Sopie Knippel & Andrew Britten have split as well as Alex Paul & Jason Cheperdak all JR. Can. I think I read this elsewhere , but can't find the thread. I read over at FSU that Riazonova & Guerreiro have also split, though the poster did not substantiate this, I don't like relaying this kind of speculation, but I thought it was important, since they are Jr, World bronze medalists. Also not sure about Vermeulen & Doleman, Andrew is on IPSearch, but staring when I don't know.
Looks like they are quite adamant over at FSU that Riazonova & Guerriero have split, apparently she is already skating with Ilia Tkachenko! Also Deutch & Roberts GBR Jr. , and Guignard & Paulmier FRA Jr. have split, Charlene is on IP Search.
Well darn, I have to bump my own post! Anyway Joanna Lenko is apparently skating with Jason Cheperdak, it will be nice to see her back, I'm sure the folks back in Saskatchewan will be glad to see her back on the ice!
Patricia Stuckey & Chris Mior of Canada have split , she is on IP Search, also Carron & Jost have split, I thought they looked a little stiff with each other at worlds, too bad , Dubreuil & Lauzon did a wonderful job with their lifts and choreo the last couple of seasons, France could have a hard time putting a team together for Olys, if D&S decide not to go, that leaves P&B and a couple of young teams, the excitement starts!

Good Morning,
Thank you for letting me know about the pictures. I deleted mine for you. I have had this photo for a while, but no one in my family knew for sure which girl was which. Would you please tell me who the two girls sitting next to each other in the front row are? I thought that the one next to John D. Weaver, Jr. was Ellen Winifred Weaver Keys and the one next to Nancy Holland Weaver was Jessie Aline Weaver Ellis. Is that correct? If you happen to know, I would greatly appreciate the info.

You wrote the bio for Jeffery's memorial which links to his mother, who died a month later. Do you know if she was injured in the fire or just devastated with a broken heart over her son's loss?

Euro Bonds With Strings Are Europe's Best Way ForwardClive Crook
May 30 (Bloomberg) -- Whether Greece keeps the euro or abandons it, the European Union must strengthen its defenses against a wider attack on its monetary system, and soon.
This will inevitably require steps toward fiscal union. Yet popular support for deeper political integration in the EU, never high to begin with, is lower than it has been for years. How can you have closer fiscal union without closer political union?
At the simplest level, you can't. This contradiction is a brute fact that the EU's leaders can't just wish away. The most they can do is blunt its force by choosing the right form of limited fiscal union -- one that protects national sovereignty and national interests as much as possible.
Forget full fiscal union. This crisis has already stretched European solidarity, such as it was, to the breaking point. There's no support for creating a federal structure of the U.S. kind, with a centrally managed budget and automatic fiscal transfers from rich to poor regions. To stride in that direction when Europe's citizens are so plainly opposed would be madness.
In some respects, the EU should move in the opposite direction. In the medium term, Europe needs to drop its blithe commitment to "ever closer union" and adopt a more discriminating approach. It needs as much union as required to make the single currency viable, and no more. Until further notice, the watchword should be, "union where necessary, national sovereignty where possible" -- and the formula to resolve the financial crisis should be aligned with that agenda.
How, exactly? Let's stipulate that the euro is worth saving. Creating it in the first place was a mistake, but one that can't be undone except at colossal cost -- as Greece's exit may be about to prove. What are the minimum fiscal and financial requirements for making the single currency work?
The crucial thing about the euro area is that its members are now deeply financially integrated, with good and bad consequences. A single capital market widens financial opportunities for companies and households, but it also makes countries more financially fragile. It removes interest rates as a tool of national policy, leaving fiscal policy as the only way to lean against the ups and downs of the business cycle. Yet it also makes fiscal policy harder to use at times of crisis -- because if things go wrong, a country with no currency of its own can't print money to meet its obligations, and is therefore at risk of insolvency.
A Quicker Union
Worse, this added fragility is contagious. A crisis of confidence in one part of so integrated a system directly affects the others. The deeper the integration, the bigger this so-called externality.
So, first things first. The euro area is a single financial system and needs a single financial regulator, a single plan for bank-deposit insurance, and a single process for resolving distressed financial firms. The EU institutions needed to discharge these functions exist but only in embryonic form. They must be quickly grown to maturity. A well-built currency union must be a true financial union.
The fiscal policy part is more subtle. Lacking control of interest rates, governments need effective fiscal policy more than they did before the euro existed, not less. Their ability to borrow in recessions needs to be preserved and improved -- but not so much that they are empowered to overborrow, get into trouble and force their euro-area partners to pick up the bill. The fiscal pact adopted in response to the crisis, which France and others now seek to modify, is directed at stopping overborrowing. It comes close to abolishing fiscal policy as a stabilization tool. It's so unbalanced in favor of discipline over empowerment that it's unworkable and lacks all credibility.
The remedy is jointly guaranteed euro bonds -- but with strings attached. Joint guarantees are necessary to attack the problem of fragility. Without them, a crisis of confidence in one country can become unmanageable and drag down others. But strings are needed too, or governments will lack the incentive to keep their borrowing under control.
I like proposals along lines suggested by John Muellbauer, Paul De Grauwe and others. Issue jointly guaranteed euro bonds - - but set a limit on the amount that any country can sell. De Grauwe proposes a limit of 60 percent of gross domestic product. Once a country has issued euro bonds in that amount, any further borrowing must be in the form of its own nonguaranteed bonds. Especially for small at-risk economies, the yield on those riskier bonds would be higher. This creates an incentive for governments to keep their borrowing under control over the course of the economic cycle.
No More Lectures
Germany and other creditworthy countries would still object that this system involves their paying a subsidy to Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy. The cost of borrowing for the distressed economies would fall -- but the cost of borrowing for Germany and others would rise. To mitigate this problem, charge variable annual fees for participating in the guaranteed bond issue so that the least-creditworthy countries paid more. Jointly guaranteed euro bonds would have one yield in the capital market, but after the fees were collected and distributed, Spain would pay more than that and Germany less.
These conditional euro bonds would cut average borrowing costs by making the euro system less fragile. That's important, because it would allow a win-win outcome in which (after fees) Germany would pay no more to borrow and Spain would pay less.
To lessen fears that this would be political union by stealth, responsibility for issuing the bonds and assessing fees could be given to a technocratic fiscal council. The fees formula could be based on objective measures of creditworthiness. Germany would have no need to lecture Spain on the importance of frugality. And it would be for Spain to decide how and when to improve its creditworthiness, knowing that, as it does, its borrowing costs would fall.
I grant you this model doesn't resolve the fiscal-political dilemma. Nothing can. Europe needs a measure of fiscal union, and this entails some degree of further political union whether citizens want it or not. But conditional euro bonds can deliver the necessary fiscal pooling with the minimum surrender of national sovereignty. They're the best available option.

Pronunciation Wizard
About Us
Contact Us
English Pronunciation Tutoring System
After earning degrees in physics and engineering, Leonard Balazer enjoyed many years of success in his mechanical and electronic engineering career. From the very beginning, however, the study of language was a driving interest of his. Besides English, he studied Japanese, Spanish, and German in depth. Upon retirement from his engineering career, he was able to devote full time to his study of language, and to his language teaching and writing. His special interests are English pronunciation and the science of voice and sound
Since receiving a degree in Computer Science from U.C. San Diego, Stan Balazer has had a successful career in software engineering and software engineering management. At companies such as HP, Convergent Technologies and Unisys, Stan specialized in engineering and managing the engineering of interactive graphics software and graphics intensive application user interfaces. Now doing independent research and development, Stan is actively involved in next-generation visual computing technologies.
The longer he tutored English pronunciation the better Leonard Balazer understood the need for a tool like Pronunciation Wizard. It became obvious to him that the main problem his English pronunciation students faced was that their previous English teachers were often teaching them English pronunciation
. By the time many of his students came to him, they had already
learned many bad pronunciation habits
, and his biggest job was to undo those bad habits.
Professor Balazer began searching for a way of
reaching students earlier
, before they developed the bad pronunciation habits that are so hard to break. From what were at first only informal discussions with his son Stan (a software development engineer) the concept of Pronunciation Wizard was born. Leonard and Stan realized that PC-based multimedia technology had advanced to the point that it was possible to capture on a PC much of what Professor Balazer was teaching his students in person. And with an English pronunciation
"tutor in the computer"
, a larger number of students (and their teachers) could develop good pronunciation habits right from the beginning.
In a process spanning more than three years, Stan designed a specialized video editor and lesson content editor (as well as the Pronunciation Wizard multimedia software itself), and Leonard used them to combine text, images, audio and video into sets of English pronunciation lessons that met his exacting standards:

The previous symposia took place in Warwick 1990, Nijmegen 1992, Lub ¿ eck 1994, Uppsala 1996, Lyngby 1998, and Pune 2000. Proceedings of these symposia were published as volumes 331, 571, 863, 1135, 1486, and 1926 in the LNCS series by Springer-Verlag. This year the sym- sium was co-sponsored by IFIP Working Group 2.2 on Formal Description of Programming Concepts. The symposium presented advances in the development and use of formal techniques in the design of real-time, hybrid, fault-tolerant embedded systems, covering all stages from requirements analysis to hardware and/or software - plementation. Particular emphasis was placed on UML-based development of real-time systems. Through invited presentations, links between the dependable systems and formal methods research communities were strengthened. With the increasing use of such formal techniques in industrial settings, the conference aimed at stimulating cross-fertilization between challenges in industrial usages of formal methods and advanced research.
