Phyllis W. Nerney
1921 — 2013
Phyllis W. Nerney, 91, of Atlanta, Georgia died peacefully June 26, 2013.
Phyllis was born Sept. 30, 1921 in Mankowa, Poland and arrived in the United States in 1923. She met and married her husband, Francis Xavier Nerney, in Joliet, Illinois in 1941 and moved with her family to Atlanta in 1949. He preceded her in death in 1987 as did a daughter, Margaret Nerney Stein, in 2006.
A loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, her great joy and pride was her family and her faith. A founding member of Our Lady of the Assumption parish, she was active with the Altar Society and with Assumption school from which all six of her children graduated. Her friends and acquaintances were always struck by her selfless devotion, her concern for others and her unfailing generosity. Her remarkable native intelligence and gentle good humor combined to make her a wonderful companion to all, whether family, friend or total stranger. Her presence illuminated the world and she will be deeply missed.
She is survived by her daughters, Mary Nerney Lyons, Jane Nerney Burns, Patricia Nerney Lewit; and sons Dr. John J. Nerney and Thomas P. Nerney. Her grandchildren are Sarah, Andrew, Elizabeth and Joseph Nerney; Mary and James Lyons; Rachel Lewit Galotti and Joseph Lewit; and Katie Burns Wassink.

Study Shows Siri May Not Be As Smart As It Thinks It Is
Apple's Siri app turned a lot of heads and ears when the iPhone 4S first hit the shelves. The voice controlled app looked and sounded like something from an Arthur C. Clarke novel.
However, it may not bring us any closer to having a real HAL 9000 computer (and considering what happened in '2001: A Space Odyssey,' maybe we should be thankful for that).

The Adventures of Peter Pan HTML version
Chapter 17. When Wendy Grew Up
I hope you want to know what became of the other boys. They were waiting below to
give Wendy time to explain about them; and when they had counted five hundred they
went up. They went up by the stair, because they thought this would make a better
impression. They stood in a row in front of Mrs. Darling, with their hats off, and wishing
they were not wearing their pirate clothes. They said nothing, but their eyes asked her to
have them. They ought to have looked at Mr. Darling also, but they forgot about him.
Of course Mrs. Darling said at once that she would have them; but Mr. Darling was
curiously depressed, and they saw that he considered six a rather large number.
"I must say, he said to Wendy, "that you don't do things by halves." a grudging remark
which the twins thought was pointed at them.
The first twin was the proud one, and he asked, flushing, "Do you think we should be
too much of a handful, sir? Because, if so, we can go away."
"Father!" Wendy cried, shocked; but still the cloud was on him. He knew he was
behaving unworthily, but he could not help it.
"We could lie doubled up," said Nibs.
"I always cut their hair myself," said Wendy.
"George!" Mrs. Darling exclaimed, pained to see her dear one showing himself in such
an unfavourable light.
Then he burst into tears, and the truth came out. He was as glad to have them as she
was, he said, but he thought they should have asked his consent as well as hers, instead of
treating him as a cypher [zero] in his own house.
"I don't think he is a cypher," Tootles cried instantly. "Do you think he is a cypher,
"No, I don't. Do you think he is a cypher, Slightly?"
"Rather not. Twin, what do you think?"
It turned out that not one of them thought him a cypher; and he was absurdly gratified,
and said he would find space for them all in the drawing-room if they fitted in.
"We'll fit in, sir," they assured him.

Gun Violence Increases In Bungalow Area of Far Rockaway
In an area where crime reportedly comes in cycles, the residents of Beach 26 Street have begun to watch their backs as gun violence has increased over the last few weeks.
Two residents, who both asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, have spoken with The Wave about the new gun activity in the area.
One resident said it started with shots fired on the evening of Friday, August 17, followed by two gun incidents over the following weekend.
"We had gunshots Friday [August 17] and a drive-by shooting at Beach 26 Street and Seagirt Boulevard on Saturday [August 18]," said the bungalow owner. "Then at 1 a.m. [early Sunday morning] more shots were fired and the police were called."
According to the resident, those firing the weapons during the drive-by incident were shooting at a market on the corner of Beach 26 Street and Seagirt Boulevard.
"Somebody was apprehended," said the resident.
Yet another homeowner says the violence first began several days before August 17.
"Four or five days prior to that, in the late evening, I heard gun shots. I called a neighbor, who was actually sitting on my porch using her computer and she said three guys came off the boardwalk and there was gun fire."
Crime in that area, from Beach 25 to Beach 32, comes and goes in cycles, explained Jonathan Gaska, the district manager for Community Board 14.
"There are long periods that the area is quiet, and then there is a lot of activity," said Gaska. He then talked about what he thinks has caused the current upturn in violence.
"All the new housing there was not done smartly," continued the district manager. "It brought in people with issues other than lack of housing, such as unemployment - they don't have skills - and other social problems, plus unemployment causes problems.
"The city, through Section 8, helps people find housing, but they don't give services such as job training and other social services to help people get their lives in order."
A source at the NYPD agreed with Gaska assessment that "Section 8 is part of the problem." Residents agree with Gaska and the NYPD representative about the source of the violence.
"I think some of them are squatters," said one of the local residents.
"They show up at certain hours. When the cops come, they go inside. Then the cops leave," said the resident. It's an endless game. Somebody is going to get hurt."
While another resident is calling for beat cops, the lack of available officers make that impossible at the current time.
While residents say they would love to increase the police presence in the area, the police source said they just don't have the manpower.
"We are increasing [car] patrols," he said.
Although things seem to have quieted down in the last week, one of the residents still believes there are guns in the area.
"The police need to get warrants - there are 30, 40 people locked in a home waiting for the police to leave," said a resident about when police respond to calls.
The NYPD declined to comment about the gun incidents.

Hello My Friends - Blogger - And Ingraham Daisy Clock A Warning About Trying Out eBay Items!
First of all, my old camera finally decided it had enough, so after 12 wonderful years, it died. RIP. I need to go get another one. I'm told they cost a lot less and hopefully are easy to use with my computer. No I do not have a cell phone that takes photos as all I have is a small emergency cell phone.
Second, while I get your comments in my email, when I go to approve or modertae comments from email, they just do not link, so I click and nothing happens and no comments are published. I looked around blogger and soo no place to moderate or apprve comments from inside my blogger account.
Any ideas on this?
Ugh. These changes to Blogger and yahoo email are making it impossible to blog with Blogger!
I can read comments, I just cannot publish them. Thanks in advance!
When I hit "publish" for this post, THEN it showed comments awaiting moderation. Not sure how to get there without doing that, but I was able to publish some recent blog post comments...
Oh, and the Ingraham daisy clock I love, bought for my old bedroom (so it's from the 70's when I was a kid) was bought last year for around $40 as these are popular. When I got it, I plugged it in and it worked... For the few minutes I tested it.
I finally put it on the wall, plugged it in, and only after it ran 20 minutes did I discover it stops working. Arg!!! Far too late to return it, I am stuck with a clock that does not work. So frustrating! My fault for not testing it longer, but who knew I'd have to do that.
Word to the wise when you buy things from ebay. :)

How many shelter beds do you need? How much rapid re-housing? How many permanent supportive housing units? This workshop will discuss strategies systems can use, in concert with outcome data and consumer input, to figure out how much of each intervention their system needs to effectively end homelessness.

Click through our slide show for planting ideas and more ideas for your own all-weather landscape. Pinterest Bronze and green theme A 'Fireglow' Japanese maple adds punch in front of native alders and Western red cedars, while silver-green brunnera (B. macrophylla 'Jack Frost') grows at its base. Golden oregano and Japanese forest grass fringe the path nearby. Rain chain Rainfall burbles down a lightweight galvanized aluminum chain (from rainchains.com), then spills over a rock and drains into an open-bottom catchment basin, where it replenishes groundwater. Glazed pots Frost-proof stoneware containers add hits of color throughout the landscape. Those in the garden are empty, while those by the door are planted with yellow groove bamboo and hellebore. Permeable paving Both the multicolored flagstones set in sand and the ¾-inch granite gravel allow rainfall to pass through to plant roots. River rock edges the planting beds. Seasonal flowers Blooms come and go all year amid the foliage; they include yellow-flowered sedums in a low bowl here, plus blue-flowered brunnera, chartreuse Euphorbia characiaswulfenii, and hydrangeas in beds.

New tropical depression should stay out at sea
EASTERN CAROLINA - A new tropical depression formed as of 10:30pm Saturday night. This storm has the potential of becoming a tropical storm as early as Sunday.
The storm has been given the title Tropical Depression Eleven, since it is the eleventh one of the Atlantic season. When upgraded, the storm was located in the middle of the Atlantic, almost splitting the difference between Africa and the United States. The exact location at 25.2°N, 50.2°W.
Forecast models take this storm in a tight circle first northeast, then back south followed by a track north again staying well out to sea. The National Hurricane Center's official forecast track follows the models, showing the track twisting out at sea.
Tropical Depression Eleven was strong enough to generate sustained winds of 35 mph. It is expected to become Tropical Storm Jerry in the next day.

Dr. Seuss Tank
my wife came up with the name for this tank. in her words, "i think it breaks every rule of a conventional fish tank". its a 55 gallon for which we decided to throw out every conservative limitation that we knew of.
ill explain: first, we used mostly composted cow manure, mixed with a bit of kitty litter, as a substrate. it is capped with an inch of paver base. a bit ambitious.
second, we decided to go with a light we had no experience with. i dont recall the brand, but it consists of 3 10,000K 48inch T5HO bulbs and 3 12,000K T5HO actinic, for a total of 324 watts, or about 6 watts per gallon. it was made for a reef tank. maybe not such an odd choice, but i have never received a recommendation for such a light, so i listed it.
third, we went with DIY CO2 for what is pretty obviously an over lit and over fertilized tank. we started with a two liter, a three liter, and gallon bottle, all linked in series, but had to pull the gallon off as it gassed our shrimp(lost a few).
and fourth, the oddest part, we never turn the lights off. the tank has been set up for about two and a half months, with complete 24/7 lighting for all but a few hours of it.
i think it has progressed quite well.
this is the tank shortly after we set it up, taken 24 September:
a few days later. as expected, brown algae/diatoms/cyano took over. i view this as a new tank issue and not an indication that i need to turn my lights off/dose antibiotics/ any other craziness. i just wait it out. at this point we were still waiting for the new lights to come in and simply had 4 t8 bulbs from walmart on it. a few days later we got the new lights. 29 September:
25 November. under 24 hour lighting, the plants had finally reached the stage that i had been waiting for, rapid growth. they always seem to follow that pattern for me when i set up a tank for 24 hour lighting. algae, slow growth, then a few weeks later they shoot up like rockets...
all of the new growth on the red plants is showing some nice colors. 05 December:
this is the last plant my wife decided to add to the tank. it was added about a week ago and is showing great potential...
there are only two fish in the tank, both bristle nose plecs. the rest of the inhabitants are lots of cherry shrimp and various snails.
so, we experimented with the substrate and the lighting. i have been running the ridiculous photo-period for years now, so it wasn't really an experiment. and i have used cow manure for a while now, just never made a substrate with so much of it in it.
this is the same tank that i have the scaped algae in, which you can see on the driftwood.
forgot to mention that I have never done a water change on this tank. I just top off every weekend.
and i top up every 2 weeks.
nice looking tank. With the amount of light and ferts are you having any issues with bba? Im very interested to see how this tank matures. What plans do you have for stocking it?
still havent turned the lights off, except to switch out a few bulbs. ill slowly be replacing the ones that the fixture came with. they dont produce the spectrum i want. still havent dosed any ferts either. still running DIY CO2.
after much aggressive thinning of the plants... there is a drop checker in the middle, but its usually in the lower left corner. i had it there because i was planting more L. glandulosa trimmings and it was in the way.
the rotala rotundifolia in the back left corner.
closer look at the L. glandulosa trimmings that i planted in the front left. i put the first trimmed top in the dirt 5 days ago, and the most recent one just a few minutes ago. i have already begun pruning the new plants from five days ago. pretty soon, i plan on sending most of these new shoots out, after they get some roots to them and a couple branches. it will probably be a ROAK. its growing super fast for me...
every once in a while, say every two weeks or so, i wipe the glass. it does develop a bit of a green spot haze to it, but not fast enough for me to worry about it. after two weeks, it wouldn't show in a pic, but its enough that i can see it...
so far so good. only 6 48" T5HO bulbs on this 55, with cow manure under the plants...
just trying to break rules here. im such a rebel... :D
I like rule breaking! You don't have any crazy ammonia spikes running cow manure as a substrate? You mentioned it was composted. I wonder if that broke it down enough so that it doesn't leech crazy ammonia into the water column.......
Nice tank though!
nope, no problems with ammonia. i aerated the crap out of this substrate(compost tea style) and then dried it a couple times before i started using it. i think that made a difference? i think the kitty litter helps with it too.
absolutely amazing
Awesome tank.
This tank shocks and confuses me. I want to be appalled but I just want to see more at the same time. Lol.
Kudos. What a neat rule breaking method.
Just to reassure newbies.. Auban has been doing things like this for a while, don't test this unless you're willing to crash and burn at least once.
Definitely accurate. If one researches one's butt off, one can pull amazing things off in this hobby.
I'd just never recommend jumping into this as a first tank without first testing the waters out elsewhere to dip ones feet.
Newbies almost always make mistakes, usually big ones. Best to make them where you aren't dealing with uncommon variants like these.
I really support testing different things though, and I'm so surprised and happy at this success!!
That looks incredible! If that's what your experiments come out like, we need to get you some national funding or something.
this forum is much more friendly to new ideas than another forum I know of...
when I posted about this tank, I was pretty much attacked. plenty of people telling me that my lights must be lousy and (the lack of algae proves it! LOL), my substrate burns the plants... the diy CO2 couldn't possibly make a difference, etc...
I do, however, agree with a strong caution to anyone who wants to try something similar. if you do something crazy like this, you have to be willing to create a monster, and then be willing to deal with it once you do. the only reason I even do this stuff is because I am compulsive about answering any and all "what if" and "why" questions that might pop onto my head. I read Hutchinson's treatise on limnology because of those darned "why" questions, if that gives you an idea...
this craziness I call a fishtank is a result of the "what if" questions.

Victoria Pendleton is feeling a "pang" for the old two-wheels-and-a-bell, as she becomes more convinced her dancing days are over.
The Olympic gold medallist, who initially said it would be a relief to leave the velodrome when she joined Strictly Come Dancing, has admitted she can't wait to get back to the bike – albeit her "girl's bike" with a basket on the front rather than an Olympic speed machine.
The cycling star avoided the dance-off on this week's Strictly despite finishing towards the bottom of the leaderboard on Saturday.
But she wrote in the Radio Times that she didn't think she could "last much longer" against show favourites Louis Smith and Denise Van Outen.
"I don't know how much more I can actually improve. In short, it would take a miracle for me to pick up that glitterball trophy," she wrote.
The star added that she was looking forward to cycle rides with her fiancé at her home in Wilmslow near Cheshire.
Pendleton said she may be feeling a little "broody" after meeting her dance partner Brendan Cole's pregnant wife Zoe.
"It made me coo so much," she added.
The new edition of Radio Times is out today.

help with smoke
I bought a early 80s chev 350 out of a ¾ ton van, to have rebuilt and dropped in my k10. I had the crank turned, block 30 over w/flat tops & Hasting rings, mild cam, new lifts & push rods. Total overhaul on heads, with larger intake valves and guides. New Performer intake toped with a used edelbrock 600 that I had rebuilt, and a new Mallory hei dist. Now for the problem .it smokes and burns oil and its well past its brake in. Is it possible that my pcv valve could be pulling oil into the carb? the pcv is new and I know my edelbrock valve covers have baffles. The spark plugs also look fine and the motor runs great.
Check for wrong spec PCV also check for oil leaking into intake runners from the bottom side. Common problem if heads/block have been milled excessively. Sometimes leaving the end seals out (use silicone) and using thicker intake gaskets will cure the problem.
thx for the tip bud, so PCV vales do have specs..? i just picked one off the shelf at discount that fit in the valve cover. i know the Machinist only shaved a little off the heads to freshen them up, ill look into it anyway. thx alot

Kristen Wiig 'Bridesmaids' Movie Poster Promises A Lot
Bridesmaids is the new movie from director Paul Feig and producer Judd Apatow, the men behind the movie Knocked Up and TV's Freaks and Geeks.
The movie stars SNL's amazingly funny Kristen Wiig as Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and a group of colorful bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to matrimony.
Can I tell you how excited I am for Wendi McLendon-Covey? Did anyone else love her as Clemmy from Reno 911? This hopefully will be a hilarious film…
Bridesmaids opens in theaters May 13, 2011. What's your worst bridesmaid experience?

From The Atlantic
Despite modest success, most systems have neither increased mass transit commute share nor the vitality of city centers.
Big cities may produce the most players, but the smaller ones have much higher efficiency ratings.
Despite concerns over an uptick, both felonious and accidental killings of police officers fell substantially in 2012.

Road trips don't have to span hundreds of miles. As the traveling season approaches, Tohono Chul Park has created a vacation-themed art exhibit that celebrates the magic and discovery of summer vacations.
"Hit the Road," which includes 53 photography, sculptures and mixed media pieces, is on display at 7366 N. Paseo del Norte. The exhibit started May 2 and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m through Aug. 3.
Martha Retallick, who works as a freelance copywriter, photographer and designer, has a photo collage dubbed "Ghost Truck Road Trip" in the exhibit. She collected the photos along a 12-year, 15,000-mile effort to ride her bicycle in all 50 states.
The collage includes a shot of a vintage Chevrolet truck she took in 1981 along with a 1988 picture of a remote road in western New Mexico.
Retallick, 56, is excited to display the piece, which is the first she's ever shown in a gallery. She was inspired by reactions she received when she showed it to others.
"People especially liked the vintage truck," she said. "I've been trying to grow as a photographer over the last several years."
She said she wanted to capture the passion and sense of discovery of her bicycle voyage.
"I was trying to evoke the road," she said. "This is a big, vast country, and you do not really understand how vast it is until you are actually in it, going real slow. Then you understand quickly how huge it is out there. I was trying to convey that big-country feel in my photos."
Edie Wageman, Tohono Chul's assistant curator pf exhibitions, said such artistic intent was just what park management had in mind for the exhibit.
"When we were coming up with a summer exhibit, we wanted to think a little bit more about summer vacation, traveling and the way the West was formed through traveling," Wageman said.
"There are all kinds of juxtapositions you find on the road, with greasy spoons, open road landscapes and vast expanses. It's really about the summer vacation culture and what we think of as we travel."
Wageman said the show has proven popular with visitors.
"One thing that's interesting about the exhibit is there are a variety of things people are drawn to," she said.
"It really depends on their preferences. There are some really funny kitsch elements, and then there's a striking painting. I think it depends on the viewer and what they are drawn to. I think what's happening is a lot of people are seeing portraits of old cars and freeway signs, and those are bringing up stories to tell each other. It's kind of a memory-driven experience."

Purchase of 2013 Ford Focus SE Hatchback

Purchase of 2013 Ford Focus SE Hatchback
Good Afternoon!
I was recently shopping for a new car, and after much discussion with my mechanic and most of my gearhead friends, I've decided to go ahead and go for the 2013 Focus SE Hatchback. I'm wondering if I could speak to a salesperson to discuss what I could expect when trying to purchase the car as I've never purchased a new car before. I would also like to see if there are any tips I might get in order to try and get the best deal and ask questions about what I would expect to pay monthly when all is said and done as I'm unsure what the final total would be after taxes, tags, freight, warranty options, etc.
The vehicle I've been looking at is listed on the dealer's website as right around $16000 (Or close enough as to not matter.) The car is a manual transmission Focus SE Hatchback with the Winter Package. I understand that the price that's listed is assuming that I would qualify for all incentives, which I'm certain that I don't. I'd like to also go over if possible what incentives are available in my area and how to ensure I qualify for them.
Lastly, I'd like to go over with someone how my credit score would affect the price and what it will do to my monthly payment, IE, if I have X Credit, I should expect Y APR on the contract.
I'd like to assume that I'll have about $3000 for a down payment, including cash in hand and trade-in value of my 2002 PT Cruiser.
Oh and PS: Should I even try and haggle the price down?
PPS: Have car purchase contracts been known to have early payoff penalties in them?
I understand these are a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help I could get. If any additional information is needed please let me know. Thanks!!!

Hey. My name is Panther. I am a cat. First things first, let me introduce myself. I already told you my name, (Panther) and my person is Alley. She comes to Florida where I am temporarily living until Alley takes me to her house in New York for good. I can imagine the plump little creatures I will catch in the great outdoors. Oh. I have kittens and a mate too. My mate is Black and white violent kittypet maniac and I have no idea why I became his mate. And I know Alley is proud of me for having the kittens. I love her so much. Today I am just taking care of the kits.Oh and I forgot to tell you, I have another set of 'humans' too. I hate them though. They are EVIL. They are twins and their evil Doberman dog. Eww. Gladly, I have hid the kittens for a couple months. If the evil twins find out I have no IDEA what I'm going to do. Maybe give them rabies. In fact, that's a great idea. Yeah...and then Alley will be the only human coming close to me and my family. Beat THAT evil twins! Ha-Ha!
So...The kittens are quietly messing around while I'm going to take a nice, long catnap. YAWN.
Hello again. (Stretch) The cat awakens. I roll over and stretch on my back. I yawn again. Mmm.... I am so bored, so I try to play with my offspring. My life is boring without Alley. Oh, and Alley didn't come this year. THE ONLY YEAR IN MY LIFE WHERE MY TRUE OWNER DOESN"T VISIT ME! Why? I don't know what I'm going to actually DO for the rest of the day. Maybe I'll visit my Violent-maniac Husband. Goodbye for now, your friend,

Chekhov Lizardbrain
Thu Oct 9 2008
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>4/5
On a bright white circle, in front of a deep red curtain, a twitchy master of ceremonies notices us: "Welcome to the big show—and to the big hat." He clutches at his bedraggled tailcoat. He refuses to doff the hat. This is Chekhov Lizardbrain himself, part pompous ass, all cranial nerve. Inside the recesses of one man's consciousness, this bossy figment orders memories into line, costumes them in turn-of-the-century garb and generally puts a Chekhovian gloss on things for self-deluded, autistic Dmitri (James Sugg, brilliantly playing himself and his altered ego). And no wonder he needs the mental escape hatch. When Dmitri offends a grieving "three brothers" (Dito van Reigersberg, Geoff Sobelle and Gabriel Quinn Bauriedel), the hurt feelings could cap a flock of seagulls.
Pig Iron Theatre Company specializes in material like this: inventive, delightful, physically adroit works about the mysterious box of the human psyche. As always, performances and mise-en-scène are spot on: Designer Anna Kiraly manages to make even a tangle of lights into a ganglion hanging overhead. Director Dan Rothenberg keeps all four actors springing merrily between stylization (signaled by white long johns and waxed mustaches) and melancholy realism. As a devised piece, Chekhov Lizardbrain is unusual in its graceful incorporation of sources; Anton and Asperger's make odd but comfortable bedfellows. If the ensemble has to force the crescendo that moves us toward the end, they have more than earned our indulgence. And, as for seeing Sugg's strange, brilliant performance, you shouldn't think twice. Just bypass all your brains, and go.

Have You Seen Tipsy The Cat?
The Wave's recent ad about a lost cat, Tipsy Tyler, in Rockaway Park has brought an overwhelming response to his caretaker Mary Sternhell, with some promising tips and support from readers. The ad featured a photo of 9-month-old Tipsy Tyler, a black male cat with white fur on his nose, and "front paws that are white up to his knees, like he's wearing knee sox."
More than 75 calls from readers, including people who spotted Tipsy Tyler in Rockaway Park and Belle Harbor, have encouraged Sternhell to continue to search for Tipsy Tyler.
Thanks to the Wave, Tipsy Tyler has become well known in the area. Everyone is helping to search for the little black and white kitten with white socks. Sternhell has been walking the streets and the boardwalk looking for him and handing out flyers with Tipsy Tyler's photo.

|Yeah... who thought that was a good logo?
So this is how this all went down. I was outside
Turns out that it was the PTO Co-President calling to inform me of my nominations.
Now the idea of secretary wasn't so bad. I can take notes. I'm not sure that everyone would appreciate my extra commentary but hey, I can take notes. But treasurer? Oh, hell no! I mean until the Hubby came along I paid someone to balance my check book for me. And now that I have the Hubby--well, I still pay someone to balance the check book for me, it just so happens he "works" for food and sexual favors. And since I know the Hubby doesn't want to take on another check book and really didn't want to whore myself out for an organization that I have no real emotional connection, I politely declined.
So I went to my first PTO meeting last night. Let's be honest, I felt like a complete fish outta water. I spent most of the meeting refusing to make eye contact with anyone on the executive board for fear of being
Turns out I actually liked the idea they had come up with. They might be looking for someone to set up some web based communication for the PTO and who better to help them with this endeavor than a wildly, popular, blogger? But since they couldn't afford her they'll settle for me.
So watch out bitches! The Mommy has gone PTO!
Peace Out!

The current debate about the coin is really a debate about the power of government to create money out of thin air at any time it wishes. Out government has outsourced the creation of money to the private banking system, through the specific laws we've put in place over the last 100 years or so.
The coin is a loophole which allows the government to directly create money. This was not an intentional loophole. It was not a designed part of the larger monetary system of the United States. But this loophole exists – the government can create money directly by miniting large denomination Platinum Coins.
As John Carney pointed out in a twitter comment, there should be something like a "coin ceiling" which gives some structure to this power for the government to directly create money. Prior to the discovery of the coin, it was thought we had entirely stripped the power away from the U.S. government. There was no need to constrain or structure this power. We thought we had taken away the power entirely and given it to the private banking system, so why was there a need to elaborate?
I don't think a hard-number ceiling on the amount of money the U.S. government can directly create is a good idea. But leaving the power completely without structure isn't a good idea either. It's time for a democratic debate on this power.
Additionally, as JKH points out in several posts, using the coin is almost exactly the same as Quantitative easing. Directly creating money acts almost exactly like a real-world tested policy. We know the impact of quantitative easing. We can estimate using the coin will be nearly exactly the same as Quantitative easing. We can even call it Platinum Coin easing, it's that close in impact.
It turns out today is probably the best time to have a debate over the power of the government to directly create money without incurring debt. Why? Because the U.S. government can borrow all the money it wants in 2013. We don't need to print money – the U.S. government could easily borrow it instead. In fact, it would be cheaper for the U.S. government to borrow money created by private banks than it would be to mint a coin.
Creating money without incurring debt is likely to have a positive impact on the economy – because the economy is begging for more money and more low risk assets to be created.
So, we can mint the coin and pay for goods and services with little fear creating money will harm the economy. In fact, we can expect it to help the economy. We can debate the power of direct money creation, we can hash out the new structure of our monetary system under ideal conditions.
We can imagine other conditions to have this debate. We could be having this debate when the credit markets are shutting off lending to the United States, and the U.S. would be forced to print money just to continue paying the bills it has incurred. This is unlikely to ever happen, but not completely impossible.
But we are nowhere near that negative scenario right now. The U.S. government does not have a problem borrowing money.
Many people point out that directly creating money by the government overturns long standing norms about out monetary system. Yes, it does. This is a huge change. The coin gives the government the power to spend money without borrowing, and provides an entirely new channel for money creation. That's a massive change.
But we're lucky enough to be debating this power today, right now, during a manufactured debt ceiling crisis. It's essentially the ideal conditions for this debate to happen. We can mint a coin right now with little fear the economy will spin out of control.
We can then have a debate about this power for the government to create money under nearly ideal conditions. What should those constraints be? How much is too much – and how much is too little?

I knew David when I was working as a nanny in Mississauga in the early 1980's, and we stayed in touch after I returned to England. I kept in touch with David and Brenda right up until his sad death in 2002 (?), and I have since been in touch a few times. Recently, I have found the email address but it no longer works and I would love to get in touch with Brenda again to see how her and the kids are.
Please can someone let her know I have been i touch or pass on my email address? firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you

Ethyl Ann Hansen joined the California DOT (Caltrans) in the 1960s, at a time when the position most commonly held by women at the agency was secretary. Hansen, on the other hand, was an engineer. She spent her career improving transportation in the San Francisco Bay area and was the first woman to serve as deputy district director for Caltrans at a time when finding a female engineer—let alone one in a leadership position—was rare.
Forty years later, the number of women in engineering has increased, but you're still far more likely to find a "mister" in a civil engineering position than a "miss." One far-reaching coalition is looking to narrow the gender gap.
Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) had noted the disparity and formed a task force, but it wasn't until Patricia D. Galloway, P.E., became the association's first female president in 2003 that the group took action and formed the Extraordinary Women Engineers Project (EWEP), which seeks to attract more women into the field.
Led by the ASCE, American Association of Engineering Societies, and the Boston-based WGBH Educational Foundation, the coalition conducted research into why more women don't consider becoming engineers. Their findings, released in an April 2005 report, discovered that the divide appears early—school-age girls are not exposed to engineering, and they and the people that influence them (such as teachers, counselors, and parents) lack understanding and awareness as to what engineering entails and do not know of the broad range of possibilities afforded by a career in the field.
The group is going beyond their research and taking active steps to change that. One way is through the release of Changing Our World: True Stories of Women Engineers. Written by Sybil Hatch, P.E., it shares the stories of women who have significantly impacted the world through their work as transportation, civil, automotive, electrical, and environmental engineers.
One of the women featured is Marsha Anderson Bomar, P.E., president of Atlanta-based Streetsmarts. She and her firm orchestrated a transportation plan that kept Atlanta's traffic from getting snarled when millions of visitors arrived for the 1996 games and gathered at Centennial Olympic Park. "It has been an enormous success, hosting hundreds of thousands of visitors post-Olympics on a ongoing basis," said Bomar.
She and dozens of other women share their stories in the book, which was published in February. It is available for sale through the association's Web site, but the coalition also is distributing thousands of copies to high school counselors across the country so they can hear the stories and share them with girls looking for career inspiration.
"We have been trying to attract women into the profession for the last 30-plus years, and I think the efforts have been good, but not consolidated," said Hatch. "With this coalition and project, it is really an exciting time—a turning point in the whole history of engineering."

My Uncle being gone
The pain I feel, I cannot describe. I feel like a hole goes through my chest or an empty spot for where my heart should be. I cry and cry until my eyes burn and are red. The feeling of loneliness and absence of happiness flood into me. I can't think straight, my mind is scattered as I fall to the hard, cold, floor that cannot comfort me or take away my thoughts. My mind is screaming, screaming why, why can death take him out of my life so quickly, easily, almost effortlessly. I feel my heart thumping in my chest, my sharp inhale of breath as I feel it fill my chest but I continue gasping for more. The air is harsh, cold and stings in my throat, I can't focus on anything except on him. He took the position of my father, when my father passed away. He was supposed to walk me down the isle as I got married. He filled the role, took me on adventures and always made me feel proud about myself even when I felt no one else was. One of the last things he said to me as he was laying in the hospital bed barely able to sit up was that he wanted to celebrate me graduating in the next year by taking me hiking, knowing he wasn't going to be able to tore me apart. I'd been looking forward to the next time we were going to go hike but since he got sick with incurable stomach cancer those hopes disappeared as I prayed to a God, I wouldn't normally think about, try talking him into curing my very sick uncle making him better, making him last long enough to witness my major life events to get in good enough health to enjoy life. The once energetic, adventurous, mountain-climbing uncle unfairly gone to cancer. I want to scream, shout out, how unfair it is, how unfair that even with my own father gone and dead before I got to know him, and now the one who unknowingly filled the role now gone as well. I feel my head pounding as I grow fainter not being able to digest all that has happened, how life in its unfair nature can take away someone who means the world to me, who I love unconditionally, and felt the same type of love and respect back. I feel like the sadness and pain will never go away I feel I won't be able to cry out all the anger or defeat.

Damn. Can't wait for Cataclysm en the "Zalazane's Fall-Event"... Wanna buy time machine..
Awesome, so far in development already! Can't wait to see new starting zones.
Operation Gnomeregan and Zalazane's Fall here we come! :D
Hmmm.... I wonder if my freezer has a Cryo-stasis setting.....
Really looking forward to it :D
Can't wait for the trolls and gnomes to retake there homes.
wow, with this all said aka that they are still working on this plus another lvl 80 raid plus the class changes still im slighty worried it wont be out this year at all like they have said in the past aka i forsee it not coming out till like next spring.......... need i say more?
Next spring? I don't think so.They have multiple teams working on all these things.It's not like they have one team working on all this stuff.It will be out sometime between the very end of summer and Christmas, assuming all goes well.
quick post something else so the druids will stop QQing!
This going to be awesome!
That's what the beta testing is for. To find out what needs to be fixed and what's working correctly. I see this coming out in August - November, for sure.
Call me pessimistic but you guys obviously didnt read the recent posts from blizzard as i did. They didn't give exact numbers on anything class wise therefor they havnt got them figured out and they havnt even released all the classes. So its whatever to me im happy facerolling kids in pvp for now.
You're acting like they just recently started working on Cataclysm. As stated before, they probably started when WotLK came out. I'd say November is a good estimate.
Zalazane is level 8 and the objective of a starting quest chain isn't he? Can't be too hard.Volj'in needs to pull finger.
It'll be out before Christmas. Likely November.Reasons why:1) Target for holiday season shopping. Equals more $$$.2) Blizzcon is in October. Lines up to build excitement around it. More $$$.3) Maintaining excitement and building it up for a product is an issue of timing. Wait too long (greater than one year) and interest dies. People can't hold excitement up that long. Lose $$$ by going too long.4) They announced it at last year's Blizzcon. Again, leads into build up for this year's Blizzcon and more $$$.Only reason they wouldn't:1) Serious concerns over product quality/readiness. Severe loss in product quality equals loss in reputation and thus..... loss of $$$
Will gnomeregan and echo isles be open to people who have not finished the quest chain after a while? Asking because the bosses will be there for the other faction to kill.

Saratoga Sees a City Ballet 'Dream'
Special to The New York Times ();
July 04, 1969,
, Section , Page 10, Column , words
SARATOGA, N. Y., July 3 -- Shakespeare twisted moonbeams into the magical characters of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and George Balanchine used a similar gossamer to weave them into a ballet. Last night the New York City Ballet opened its fourth season at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center with this superlatively romantic work.

Those rings man. . .
Wow, never knew who the owners/designers of Mister were.
And I also didn't know they were married either. Haha.

Whatever floats your boat sir. You have to understand that production takes time. We don't focus to release product that is not manufactured in the best way possible. We want to make sure that our customer base stays satisfied with with every piece we put out.
I hope that makes sense

Dateline NBC special featuring Craig, Moffat County slated for tonight
January 7, 2011
If you watch
What: "The Haunting," a two-hour Dateline NBC special
Time/channel: 8 p.m. tonight, NBC
• For a preview of "The Haunting," visit insidedateline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/05/5773235-jan-7-the-haunting.
A two-hour Dateline NBC special that includes Craig and parts of Moffat County is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. tonight.
The story focuses on Steven Hatch and Glen Ake, two fugitives who were wanted for murders in Texas and Oklahoma, and later apprehended at a ranch north of Craig in 1979.
Ake was sentenced to life in prison. Hatch was executed.
In December 2010, an associate producer for Dateline NBC visited Craig to research Craig Daily Press archives about the arrest, and to film locations, including the old jailhouse near the Moffat County Courthouse where Hatch and Ake were held.
Jeff Corriveau, a former Moffat County Sheriff who was the lead investigator at the time of the apprehension, was also interviewed for the story.
According to the NBC website, the crux of the story revolves around the lifelong impacts on Hatch and Ake's Oklahoma victims, the Douglass family.
"After surviving a violent robbery that left a revered Oklahoma pastor and his wife dead, a son and daughter attempt to move on with their lives despite the multiple trials of their parents' killers," according to the website.
"Keith Morrison reports on the difficult search for healing and how their story of tragedy came to be a Hollywood film."
Brooks Douglass, whose parents were killed by Hatch and Ake and who was also shot by the two perpetrators, later became an Oklahoma state senator.
He is also the screenwriter and an actor in "Heaven's Rain," an upcoming independent film that depicts the ordeal.
Subscribers of Bresnan Communications and DirecTV can find NBC on channel 9.

Fans of teenybopper Avril Lavigne are gaming YouTube in an attempt to bump the Canadian rocker into the site's top-ranked video spot.
Web-savvy followers of the punk popstress have devised a constantly refreshing website that adds one pageview every 15 seconds to Lavigne's music video "Girlfriend," which currently has 88,935,170 views.
The coveted top-ranking position is currently held by Judson Laipply's "Evolution of Dance" video, which clocks in at 89,714,055 pageviews.
Forum administrator Staticrebelle on the fan site Avril Bandaids posted the following call to arms:
"Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend' music video is less than 1 million views away from becoming the most watched video of all time on YouTube…. So what we're attempting won't be easy but … Bahh who am I kidding? Of course it will be easy because we have a secret weapon."
The Avril Bandaids YouTube auto-refresher shows more than 100,000 pageviews have been added to the video since the site's launch June 19.
At time of posting, Wired.com has requested comments from YouTube, Judson Lappily and Avril Bandaids.
While YouTube's policy prohibits users from using any "automated system," illegitimate rank inflation by using refreshers is fairly common. In March, Waxy.org investigated a mysterious surge in online traffic for a fan-made video for Brazilian band Cansei Der Sexy. Video site NewTeeVee reported in 2007 that popular vloggers LisaNova and Corey "Mr. Safety" Williams have both been accused of cheating the system.
Our guess is the system will self-regulate. Either YouTube will remove the video from the top slot, as was the ultimate outcome involving the Cansei Der Sexy video, or Laipply-favoring hackers will step in and blast the cheating refresher site.

On the Run: The Life and Adventures of a Fugitive
€ 13,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Mai 2003
BeschreibungThis true adventure begins in the late 1800s in the rough-and-tumble towns of northern California and ends on the Lower East Side of New York City in the 1920s. After running away from home, Douglas McHardie found himself in Arizona, where things took a horrible turn for the worse as he found himself wanted for murder, thus beginning his life on the run as an outlaw. From Arizona he escaped to the Canadian gold mines of the Yukon where he found gold. With his newfound riches he moved to San Francisco and opened a saloon, only to have it destroyed by the great earthquake of 1906. McHardie's sense of adventure, however, was not destroyed, and his journey continued to Australia, Bombay, and Afghanistan, where he ran guns between the Gulf States and Kabul and was later tortured. This is a compelling memoir of a survivor, a man whose wits, instincts, and good luck kept him one step in front of the law and alive to tell his story.
PortraitDouglas McHardie is an alias. He was an adventurer, a businessman, and an opportunist. His true identity is still unknown.

I have an M&Pf 9mm that has a trigger pull of 5.5 lbs, well, 5-1/8 lbs now that I installed the APEX DCAEK, but that's another thread - already posted in fact. My M&Pf .45ACP has an 8 lb trigger.
So as I installed the DCAEK in my 9mm, I looked to see why/how the two guns could have two different pull weights - simple, it's the springs, right? Negative, it isn't the springs it's the angle of the trigger bar ramp that operates the sear!
It's much like the way the Glock connectors change the trigger break weight. Obviously springs can change the weight as well, but the difference in my 5.5 lb and 8 lb trigger weights is because they have two different trigger bar ramp angles.

A modern building occupied by a Burger King restaurant in the Westgate Shopping Centre is among a number of retail properties for auction next month as part of Bayleys' latest Greater Auckland portfolio.
The one-level property is leased to the national Burger King chain until 2018 and is producing net annual rental income of $165,000.
It is being marketed by James Chan of Bayleys Auckland and will go under the hammer with a variety of other commercial and industrial properties at the October 23 auction.
"This represents an opportunity to purchase an excellent investment property within a well-established, regional shopping centre in a growth location," says Chan.
"With the best investment stock tightly held in the current market, there are few chances to acquire property with a lease to such a high-profile, sought-after tenant."
Chan says the outlet is on its own 4103sq m title in a high-profile position next to a roundabout on one of the busiest corners of the centre. The restaurant has been at Westgate since it was established in 1998 and has a drive-through as well as parking.
Chan says the 395sq m restaurant at the centre in Massey is much bigger than a typical Burger King restaurant of between 250sq m and 300sq m.
"It is one of the busiest Burger King outlets in the country and the Antares Restaurant Group, which operates the Burger King chain in New Zealand, has renewed its lease early for a further five years from December 2013 at which time a rent review also comes into effect."
Chan says the Westgate Shopping Centre occupies close to 11ha at the end of the Northwestern motorway, giving exceptional exposure to the high volume of motorway users as well as easy access.
Anchor tenants include Countdown, The Warehouse, Farmers, Noel Leeming, Event Cinemas and major banks and there are a wide range of other international, national and local tenants. It has 1450 car parking spaces.
Chan says the shopping centre benefits from the continuing involvement of its developer, New Zealand Retail Property Group Management, which remains the operational manager of the centre, ensuring continuity and providing a significant depth of retail experience for investors who own units within the centre.
Westgate has also been identified as a location for a subregional town centre. Auckland Council has committed in excess of $350 million to the development of the Northwest Strategic Growth Area which incorporates the proposed growth of the Westgate centre into a full mixed-use town at Westgate to service the growing catchments of Auckland's northwest.
"The existing properties within the shopping centre will benefit significantly from becoming part of a larger comprehensive 40ha town centre that will underpin the future of Westgate as a premium retailing and investment location," says Chan.
The centre will also benefit from the nearby Hobsonville Pt redevelopment of the former Hobsonville airbase.

Northeast Education User Group Meeting planned for May 2 at the *new* Esri Boston Office. We're looking for presenters to share best practices for using GIS in teaching, research, or campus operations. If you've got a great story to tell, let me know.
The "new" office is in Middleton, but still up near the Ferncroft area in Danvers.
The name of Framingham State's new internship initiative is the Community/Hometown Organizations Internships and Cooperative Education, or "CHOICE" program.
Debuting this summer, the university- and state-funded program will provide dozens of paid positions within the town of Framingham and at local community organizations and nonprofits that normally cannot afford to compensate interns.
Some funding is from donations and there's hope organizations that benefit can provide some funding, too. Interns get course credit and there's a vision that every grad completes at least one intership before graduation.
One of the CHOICE internships the town is planning to offer, for example, is a GIS position responsible for cataloguing Framingham's many public access roads.
"It doesn't take a full engineer to figure out, but it does take someone with discipline and training," said Halpin, who added the task is perfect for a college student.
So far as I know Framingham does not yet teach GIS, but I know there are geography classes. Way to go Framingham State!
Nicholls State University's geomatics program has signed a deal with Lafourche Parish to help update and maintain the parish's mapping systems.
The parish gets data updates and the students gain experience. The univeristy will host a backup of the data and the longterm vision is that the school, the only state one with a geomatics program, will work toward supporting more parishes.
Under the agreement, the parish will pay Nicholls $100,000 a year to help with its Geographic Information System, a catalog of detailed maps used to plan drainage, streets, construction, emergency response and other projects.
That's a lot of money; I'm glad the parish has it and the school can use it.

ALEX SALMOND last night scrapped four Holyrood lunches auctioned to raise cash for the SNP.
The First Minister and deputy Nicola Sturgeon had been under mounting pressure for selling the dates at Holyrood.
Salmond yesterday revealed he had auctioned another three lunches for SNP funds - branded "systematic abuse" of his position by Holyrood Labour leader Iain Gray.
But Salmond insisted no parliamentary rules had been broken.
He said: "I am cancelling all lunches in parliament as a result of party activity as we await the Corporate Body providing new advice.
"I have identified four such lunches and Nicola Sturgeon has identified one lunch and a tour.
"Since none of them have taken place, there is therefore no difficulty in the Corporate Body considering the issue as a matter of principle.
"Nor indeed have any of the donations been given."
Labour have written to the parliament's standards commissioner, demanding a probe.
At a fundraiser in Glasgow last month, £9000 was bid for lunch with Salmond and £2000 for lunch with Sturgeon.
Gray said: "This is not about charity lunches in the parliament but extremely serious allegations over the systematic abuse of the First Minister's office."
