text: I changed my interface in my options to enhanced, so I could put smilies in my posts. But then, it wouldn't let me type anything in the message box. I've switched it back and forth a few times to make sure this is the problem. I can type messages in basic or standard editor, but in enhanced, it lets me type a title, then when I tab over or click on the message box, nothing. My typing doesn't show up in the message box, nor does anything happen when I click on a smilie or any of the editing buttons (bold, font, etc). Even in standard, I tried to do as Caskbill said, click-drag to select text, then click bold, but nothing happens. I can't seem to use any of the editing features. Can anyone help me? Thanks, AG

The barriers Hispanic farmers face in starting and expanding farming operations in the United States includes the lingering effects of past government discrimination, current marketing and use of information, and their own agricultural traditions. Both the government and the farmers see the need for improvement, but reaching the end goal is a challenge. NET News and Harvest Public Media reporter Clay Masters reports and produces "Hispanic Farmers on Broken Ground." The television documentary features Nebraska Hispanic farm owners, the author of a report on the current state of Hispanic farm ownership in the state, Hispanic students involved in a youth farming organization, as well as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. The documentary aims to examine the obstacles currently facing Hispanic farmers in the Midwest and across the country, as well as look ahead to possible solutions for the future.

Oil Cooler O-Ring Help
2002 wrx, stock everything
Ok, im ready to put in a new cooler o-ring, but I dont have a socket that fits the bolt/screw that is in the middle, anybody know what size I need to go and buy? also is there anything else i might need to know or any useful tips?
I'm pretty sure it's a deep well 15/16" 6 point if I remember correctly...
OK, so i guess the o-ring wasnt the problem, its still leaking oil, dammit! i guess the next culprit is the cooler itself? or is there something else cheap i can try first? im not looking foward to this again, so if there is any info i can get my ears are open
The last time the oil was changed did you replace the copper o ring on the bolt? Honestly try cleaning everything off the bottom really good, then let the car sit over night with a piece of cardboard under it. That will help you zero in on where the leak is coming from.
no i havent changed the copper o-ring, how would that cause it to leak since the bolt is internal within the cooler and the filter? and the only time it seems to leak is when i drive the car around, at idle or when the engine is off it doesnt leak at all. Im guessing it's the increase of pressure as the car is being driven??? This all started after a simple oil/filter change too, which seems so odd to me.
No the copper o ring around the bolt on the oil pan...I bet that's where it's coming from.
dont think so, the oil is coming straight down onto the filter itself, the drain bolt isnt leaking at all, already checked that
good thought though
Hmmmmm well poop. It's late, but tomorrow I will look on the motor I am building and see if I might have any other ideas...
And you checked the lines above the filter?
Degrease everything underneath and start it when under the car.
did you ever get a chance to look at your motor? ts been raining pretty much nonstop here, so i havent had a chance to get anything done on my part. i need a garage, haha
I know this my sound like a bad idea, but undo your oil filter and see if you have it on right...make sure to wipe oil on the rubber seal ring at the top...
well. i resorted to taking the car into a mechanic i trust, but still i hate doing so... he looked it over, and only found that it seems to be leaking only from the filter.... this is the 3rd filter that has been put on (since the leak) and i have changed many a filter in my day and never had a problem like this. so my thoughts are maybe i need to get an actual "subaru" filter as a last (cheap) try? my only other thought is maybe there is a small crack or something in the cooler itself at the bottom???
Suby filters are your best bet for oil changes anyways.
but do you think a non-suby filter could cause an oil leaking problem??? the mechanic i took it too even put another filter on... still leaking...
Unless someone put on the incorrect filter (previous owner) I wouldn't think so.
What did the mechanic say?

We had a great time in a wonderful flat. It was really beautiful and everything we needed was there. It could not be better. The trainstation and connections with the metro where easy to reach. Thank you Debbie for 7 fantastic days in Brooklyn - hopefully we will be back soon
We (jan and Louise from the Netherlands) had such a great time in Brooklyn. The house we stayed in is from Debbie and she is great. Her welcome was warm and she took good care of us, aspecially because we lost a suitcase. Debbie helped us very much. The appartment was good, clean and big anough for 6 persons (2 can to sleep in de living). The beds were good and the shower just big anough. The house is close to the subway (A and C train) wich brings you directly to Manhatten. But also Brooklyn is a great place to stay and visit.
In the neighbourhood of the house are some nice restaurants and supermarkets. This is the place we will visit again and hopefully we can stay in Debbie;s house again.
Debbie is a nice woman and the house is really comfortable. You can get to Manhattan from the apartment in 20 minutes more or less by subway. the equipment of the kitchen is good. A good choice!!
Debbie was such a kind and generous host and offered us staying with her beyound the hurricane days (as we got stranded due to the cancelled flights) as well as helping us out with her phone for contacting the airline several times and other things.
Actually this weather occurance "compelled" us having more contact between visitor and host then under normal circumstances. So that gave us the great opportunity to get more in contact with each other which we very appreciated. Thank you Debbie for having us with you in your nice appartment!
Johannes, Katrin and Janice
Debbie is a lovely person and a great host. The apartment is amazing in a very cool neighbourhood. It is located near the subway lines that will take you straight to Manhattan. I would definitely recommend staying at Debbie's to anyone!
Sehr schöne Wohnung in sehr netter Umgebung. Verkehrsanbindung mit Linie A ab Uticon-Station top.
Gastgeberin Debbie ist sehr nett.
Wir würden wieder dort buchen.
It was a wonderful flat. We felt at home from the beginning. We travelled with our three adult children and were looking for a flat with the possibility to cook und we had everything we had expected - even lots of possibilities to do some shopping in the nearby supermarket. The time to go to Manhattan was about 45 minutes which was allright. We liked the street where the house was located. I also appreciate that we always got an answer from Debbie in before whenever we had a question. So I would always recommend this place to everybody who wants to go to New York.
Ute, Riewert, Jakob, Jule and Hannah from Leer, Germany
Logement impeccable.2 belles chambres.1 cuisine salon tres bien concue.hote tres agreable et tres serviable. A recommander
Eine sehr gemütliche, stylische Wohnung mit guter Ausstattung. Die Lage ist super, Verkehrsanbindung top und ein Café mit leckerem breakfast und lunch um die Ecke. Debbie ist eine sehr sympatische Vermieterin mit hilfreichen Infos schon im Vorfeld unserer Reise. Brooklyn ist klasse, guter Ausgleich zum hektischen Manhattan. Thank You Debbie!!

Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #121
This is the one-hundred and twenty-first in a series of examinations of comic book urban legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous one-hundred and twenty. Click here for a similar archive, only arranged by subject.
Special theme week! I didn't even notice at first, but two of the three bits I was doing this week involved Disney, so I figured, what the heck, so I scrapped the original third and made this week an ALL-DISNEY THEME WEEK!!
Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Walt Disney forced Marvel to change Howard the Duck's appearance.
STATUS: True
I was already planning on doing this bit when reader Matthew Johnson wrote in with basically the same question – which was a pretty darn freaky coincidence!!
Matthew asked whether the drastically different look for Howard the Duck in the new Howard the Duck mini-series has to do with Disney threatening Marvel over similarities between Howard and Donald Duck.
That, Matthew, I am afraid I do not know for sure, but what I do know is that yes, Disney did, in fact, threaten to sue Marvel over the appearance of Howard the Duck. It led directly into the depiction of Howard in the 2002 Howard the Duck mini-series.
Here is how Howard looked when he first got his own series in the late 70s…
Disney threatened suit later on in the 70s, after Gerber had left the book, and Marvel capitulated to Disney's demands, which included that Marvel must make Howard look like a design sheet that DISNEY'S artists supplied!
Marvel agreed. The biggest difference was that Howard was to wear pants…
When Gerber returned to do the MAX series in 2002, he wanted to have an artist redesign Howard, but as it turns out, Marvel's deal with Disney forbade Marvel from doing just that – they could not come up with a new design. Since the Howard in the new release looks nothing like the above cover from Brian Bolland from 1986, it appears as though Marvel manage to renegotiate that part of the deal.
But in 2002, it was not the case, which led to Gerber's humorous solution – have Howard become OTHER animals!!
And, appropriately enough with the specific company that caused the changes, the first animal was none other than a mouse!
If someone else out there knows how/if Marvel got their deal changed, let me know!
Thanks to Matthew for the question, and thanks to Steve Gerber and Darren Schroeder (whose great interview with Steve back in 2001 at Silver Bullet Comics provided the information) for the info.
NOTE: Obviously, in the years since this column first came out, Marvel was actually purchased BY Disney, so the Howard/Donald issue is likely much less of an issue nowadays.
On the next page, learn about a banned Donald Duck story!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Walt Disney refused to allow a comic called "Donal Duck's Atom Bomb" to be reprinted.
STATUS: True
Reader Eric Henry sent me in the following recently:
I have a potential comic book urban legend for you. I have seen listed in the Overstreet Price Guide a comic book called 'Donald Duck's Atom Bomb' and have heard that Disney will not allow this book to be reprinted (thereby making it a valuable collectible). I was wondering if there is any truth to this story.
There is, indeed, some truth to the story, Eric.
In fact, it's just plain old true, period!
In 1947, Carl Barks wrote and drew a 32-page (done comic strip style, though, so like an 11-page comic book) giveaway comic that was given away with boxes of Cheerios.
The comic depicts Donald Duck's attempts at creating an atom bomb. The comic has, indeed, been banned by Disney from being reprinted as it was originally written. This was confirmed by the good folks at the Bruce Hamilton company. The late Bruce Hamilton published Gemstone comics, which reprinted a good deal of Barks' past comics, and they confirm that Disney would not let the original comic be reprinted, leading the original giveaway (remember, this comic was FREE sixty years ago) to sell for upwards of $1000.
But why can it not be reprinted?
Was there something racist in it?
Something lewd?
Heck, did they make unwise statements regarding nuclear power?
Nope, it was that Donald Duck acted "mean" in the comic.
In the comic, the radiation from Donald's atom bomb causes everyone to lose their hair. At the end, a scientist wants Donald to keep working on his bomb. Donald has other ideas.
Here are the last two pages from the comic…
Disney felt that this was too mean of Donald, so banned the comic from being reprinted as originally written. The new version has Donald saying, "No thanks, Professor! I've got more than money in mind!" And the banner at the top of the booth now no longer says the word "Atomic" and now reads: "Free Samples — Growth Guaranteed!"
Pretty funny, eh?
Thanks for the question, Eric! And thanks to the Bruce Hamilton Company for the information.
On the next page, was Wally Wood sued for doing porn versions of Disney characters? WARNING: There are pornographic images on the next page!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Disney sued comic book artist Wally Wood for doing a pornographic poster featuring Disney characters.
STATUS: False
As you may or may not know, towards the end of his life, comic book legend Wally Wood was in poor health, and most of the comic work he did right before he committed suicide was mostly stuff that one would consider appropriate for "Tijuana bibles," that is, raunchy versions of notable comic characters.
This was no new thing for Wood, who did, in fact, produce an amusing poster for the zine, The Realist, in 1967, featuring Disney's characters in various states of debauchery.
Don't read any further if you don't want to see the pornographic poster in question!
In any event, contrary to reports I have heard from a few folks, neither Wood nor the Realist were ever sued by Disney over the poster. Most likely, they thought it would do more harm than good, PR-wise.
Disney DID sue, however, a gentleman who later reprinted the poster and put it up for sale as a black light poster. That is probably where the confusion arises.
Thanks to illegal-art.org for the information and the picture!
Okay, that's it for this week!
Feel free to drop off any urban legends you'd like to see featured!

The Columbia-Area Linux Users Group (CALUG) is a friendly informal group of Columbia-area residents who share an interest in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in general, and Linux in particular. The CALUG meets at 7:00PM on the second Wednesday of each month. Like the software that interests us, our meetings are free - and open to everyone.
OmniTI is extending the courtesy of hosting the CALUG meetings at its Fulton Maryland office, conveniently located at:
11830 West Market Place, Suite F
Fulton, MD 20759
Meeting attendees should park behind the OmniTI building and enter thru the door labeled suite 'G' which opens into the meeting room. The entrance to suite 'G' is surrounded by large planters encircling patio tables. You will know you are at the right place if you see otherwise non-threatening muppets engaging in Reservoir Dogs-type activity. OmniTI is located in the office park north-east of the Firestone building, which in turn sits north-east of the Harris Teeter building.
The CALUG meeting scheduled for May 10th is cancelled. All interested in FOSS are welcome to join the CALUG at our June 14th meeting for a fun and informal exchange of technical knowledge. Please contact Chuck Frain if you have a FOSS technology to present to a friendly group in a relaxed environment. The presentation schedule is open and flexible:
If you are interested in giving a talk or have a topic you would like to discuss, please let me know. We can accommodate our traditional one topic meeting or if a few people have shorter presentations or topics, we can do it that way as well. This is a great forum for novice speakers to practice their skills!
Meeting attendees are invited to arrive at 6:30PM to enjoy pizza and soda courtesy of Aplura prior to the 7:00PM presentation - so you do not need to choose between dinner and the fun of a CALUG meeting.
Please thank Chuck Frain for his interesting and useful Pi-hole presentation at the April CALUG meeting.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
If you want big, booming, mate-impressing sound, then the Sony Super MU.TE.KI (HTDDW8500) has exactly what you need. It's large and brash and delivers a huge amount of bass when needed.
The Sony Super MU.TE.KI (HTDDW8500) is a 7.4-channel surround sound system that doesn't pull any punches. Everything you need to set up a large cinema room is included, so all you need to add is a big TV and a Blu-ray disc player.
Let's be honest — the Super MU.TE.KI isn't a hi-fi system that you would want to unpack every day. It comprises two floor-standing speakers, five surround speakers including a centre, three separate amplifiers and four subwoofers. With a total shipping weight of 105 kilograms it's not very small-car or small-apartment friendly, and that's before you find the room to store it all and set the system up. We tried setting up the system in a variety of fashions, ranging from a proper 7.1-style surround sound configuration with all the subwoofers bunched together to stacking the speakers, amplifiers and subwoofers in towers on top of each other. Either way, you'll need a lot of spare floor-space.
After you've placed everything carefully, take it all back down again, because each individual speaker has to have speaker wire connecting it to the amplifiers. Forgot that, didn't you? With a total of 11 speakers you'll spend an hour threading and connecting cables; after it's all set up, you won't want to move it so be very sure you've got everything in the right place.
The three amplifiers — a central A/V receiver (which also powers the speakers) and two discrete subwoofer amplifiers — make an impressive stack. Each subwoofer amplifier has its own volume control, allowing you to easily set bass levels, but no power switch. The amplifiers are controlled remotely through the central receiver so if you want to cut off bass you'll need to turn the volume down on both subwoofer amps. The A/V receiver also doesn't pack in too many buttons, with a dial for selecting input and a volume control the most prominent features. The only other button you'll need day-to-day is the Multi Stereo button, which matrixes a stereo signal to every speaker. For everything else, you can use the remote.
The A/V receiver's video switching capabilities make it a good choice for a person with plenty of digital video devices. Three HDMI, three component and four composite inputs as well as a whole swag of analog and digital audio connectors mean you can plug in a range of devices simultaneously. Similarly, you can output video via HDMI, component or composite if needed. The receiver also up-scales lower resolution content to 1080p when using the HDMI output, doing so reasonably well. Plenty of detail was revealed in our test DVD of The Matrix without significant introduction of interpolated noise or artefacts.
Like the slightly less impressive non-super MU.TE.KI (HTDDW7500) hi-fi system, the Super MU.TE.KI (HTDDW7500) is not meek when it comes to sound. With the subwoofers set to half-power (12 o'clock on the amplifiers' large rotary dials), we played a few rock and hip-hop tracks to put it through its paces. The system has a very lively, cinematic sound with strong, forward treble and booming bass.
Surprisingly, bass is not very versatile. With a fixed bass crossover of 150Hz we often found bass notes loud and slow without much of the floor-shaking thump we found when testing the comparatively svelte Bowers & Wilkins PV1. This might be a downside of the thin wood used for the construction of the speaker enclosures; the cabinets don't feel as weighty or solid as we expected.
If you're looking for a sound system that's great for Blu-ray surround sound and big-explosion blockbuster movies, this is a simple choice for you. It might take you a day off work to set up, though.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

The reason I was so confused? Umbilical cord serum.
Actually, it isn't as strange as it sounds, and their preliminary results are promising. Read on to see what their founder wrote me in a reply email, and why I'm sharing it with you.
Novo Solutions is a very new company. It was started about two years ago by an Emergency Medicine physician, who saw the preliminary results of the main ingredient at a stem cell conference at Johns Hopkins. He teamed up with the cosmetic chemist responsible for the product, got the support of another businessman, and Novo Solutions was born.
The proprietary ingredient in Novo Solutions is human umbilical cord plasma (HUCP). This is obtained from blood left in the umbilical cord after birth. The mother is tested for diseases before giving birth. The blood left in the umbilical cord is tested just after birth. The blood is withdrawn from the umbilical cord after it is cut away from the mother and the baby, it would otherwise be thrown away, so don't worry about stealing blood from someone that needs it. From there it is sent to a cryobank in Florida, which is certified and licensed. The blood is centrifuged and separated, and what you get in the end is a cell free plasma to be incorporated into the skin care product.
So, why go to all of this trouble? HUCP has been found to have much higher levels of certain cytokines than normal adult blood. These are cytokines such as TGF, IGF, EGF, VEG-F and others. Do they help fight aging? The jury is still out on that, though many of them are growth factors and it makes sense that they'd affect the skin in some fashion. The product also contains peptides (learn more about how peptides work in skin care to help fight aging), which don't immediately decrease wrinkles, but do help over the long term.
Are there any results to back up the use of HUCP?
The company has been working closely with researchers at Northwestern University. They have more comprehensive studies planned. Here's more info on that first study:
It was conducted with six women of various ages in a double blind study by application twice a day for 26 days. One side of the inner upper arm had application of product with the umbilical plasma and the other side contained product that did not. Punch biopsies were obtained and sent to Dr Lavker for analysis. One of the subjects collected the fee but we found out did not apply the products. The results of the other five showed an increase in procollagen in the side treated with human umbilical cord plasma" hucp" vs. the side without "hucp". The largest difference was 47.5 percent increase in procollagen with the "hucp". The matrix constituent hyaluronic acid was measured. The side that applied product with"hucp" vs. the side without "hucp" were analyzed. The treated side with "hucp" demonstrated significant increases in tissue measurement of hyaluronic acid in four out of five subjects, with the difference as high as 80 percent in just 26 days.
So, what do you think? I think the prelim data above is pretty interesting. It would be really nice to know exactly how all of those cytokines are working on the skin, but for now they're just kind of using the shotgun approach with using all of them, but it seems to be working. I'm definitely interested in seeing what further results they come up with.
On the other hand, it does seem a little strange to be putting a blood product on my skin to fight aging. Do you think you'd use this skin care line?

Nice post, Aaron. I got my daugher a video camera because I thought she'd really express herself with it. Instead, she writes all the time, and ignores the camera. You can lead a relative or a friend to a tool like a blog, but what they do with it is then up to them.
Acquiring a Voice...
This is a bit of an off topic / personal type post. I guess many of them are that way now, but you have been warned ;)
My Brother...
was recently conned (by me) into creating a blog. I think everyone should have one. If for nothing else then at least for tracking your own thought process over time.
Creating Another Unoriginal Crap Site:
He originally wanted to create a site selling random junk he sold a bit of out of a catalog when he was a teenager.
Do What You are Interested In:
I wanted him to create a blog about something he knew about or was interested in to help introduce him to the web. My brother has HIV and since that is a somewhat important topic I figured that maybe he could do a blog about HIV.
I bought him a domain name and spent about $20 submitting his site to a few directories and off he went.
Being Personal:
I have actually been rather impressed with how frequently he has posted. Usually he just posts news as he finds it (which seems a bit dull to me), but occassionally he also posts exceptionally personal stuff - which is what makes a site real.
I do not think he has done much to promote his site, but randomly it ranks #3 on MSN Canada for HIV.
MSN Search Memory Lane:
It always feels good to see someone ranking well in MSN...it is a megacorp that is helping to spread your site and / or message. It reminds me of creating content by the keyword to submit to Zeal back when LookSmart was a primary feed to MSN. Back then it took less than a week to register a domain, host it, create, submit, and approve the content necissary to rank on the first page of MSN for almost any single word search query.
As an SEO Blogger You KNOW there are too many SEO Blogs When...
Your brother recently created a blog about search engines (as my brother did).
I could look at it and say "well he needs to do a bunch of learning" as many may look at this blog and say to me. I remember when I first made my other site about search engines and people emailed me nasty hate mail (I still get some, but for other reasons).
Who knows, he may be at the same spot I was a year and a half ago and may be far better off than I am in a year or two. I am interested to see what his level of commitment will be and what else he wants to learn and what other projects he will jump into.
The Secret Sauce:
The hidden secret of SEO for people new to the craft is that keyword density only really matters up until people are actually interested in reading your site.
You only need to figure out how to reach a few people in any industry. If Danny Sullivan likes your site then many in the search industry will too, by default.
It doesn't take much for a person to do well if they are honest, willing to work hard, interested in what they are doing, and learn quickly.
I look at my brother's posts and see that they are perhaps a bit rough (as are many of mine), but I also look and see that it looks like he is trying to find his voice and is trying to figure out how to sound like a person, which is something most sites do not do. Best of luck bro...

I love this lip balm. I am a trumpet player, so it's very important for my lips to be well taken care of. This balm not only smells amazing, it keeps my lips from getting chapped and doesn't leave any residue after is has soaked in. Plus, one little pot lasts forever.
I love this lip treatment. My lips get beyond dry, especially in the winter, so I always need to have something very moisturising for my lips. This makes my lips so soft, smooth, plus it smells good (citrus-y). It works even better if you scrub your lips first to remove all the dead skin. The ingredients are fabulous, lots of oils and butters. My only problem is it's in a tin, so you need to use your fingers each time. Overall love it, and will continue to purchase!
Love the lip scrub. Makes your lips super smooth and soft.
This is my favorite and go to lip balm. I love it. I will never stop buying. Everyone needs it.
My lips were more than chapped; for the past 7 years, they were dry, cracked and peeling, and not just during the winter but through all four seasons. The doctor recommended using Vaseline and I did so up until a month ago when I purchased Lip Service.
I'm quite satisfied with the results, my lips have definitely become softer with a much healthier and smoother appearance. I find that one application lasts for about 4 hours without my lips looking completely dehydrated which occurs with Vaseline in well under 4 hours. It has a subtle scent and no taste. The balm is actually hard when not warmed due to its natural ingredients (olive oil, beeswax, marigold infusion cocoa and shea butters) so warming it with your body heat by putting it in a pocket, etc. will allow for easier usage. The day of manufacture and the expiration date is also printed on the label for quality assurance. Although a bit pricey for a small 10g tin, I would recommend it as it is an effective product.

Absolutely loved this appartment would completely recommend it to anyone! The hosts were amazing and the most helpful ones I'd ever come across with available cheap taxis to the airport and totally adaptable to your arrival time. She let us arrive earlier and cleaned the appartment quicker than usual just so we could make ourselves comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for making our stay an enjoyable one!

The tasktrackerStatus is a writable object, should'nt the inner class of writable object be public for others to use. You might be right. However, this field has package-private access.

However, from the common standpoint such widening of permissions isn't advisable. .bq My real intention of having abstract parent class is have common functionality that can be shared If in the future we'll see that the number of such shared functions is growing and it become useful to move them all to the common parent we might do just that. However, two functions don't like a good justification to me. Thanks for the explanations on the Common classes' modifications. They all make sense.

EUR/USD: bears going to reach next support
There's a "Double Top" pattern, which has been formed under a resistance at 1.1381. However, the price faced a support by the 34 Moving Average afterwards, so there's a local upward correction on the way. Considering a confirmation of the last "Double Top", the market is likely going to continue falling down towards the next support at 1.1235 – 1.1222. If a pullback from this area happens, there'll be an opportunity to have another upward movement.
The price faced a support at 1.1253, which led to form a "V-Bottom" pattern, so the price is currently rising. Also, we've got a "Pennant" pattern here, so the price is likely going to reach a support at 1.1235 – 1.1222 during the day. At the same time, if we see a pullback from these levels, bulls will probably try to catch a resistance at 1.1282 – 1.1324.

When people think of environmental law, they often reference movies about hard-working attorneys fighting against big business to save the Earth. While high profile cases are a professional possibility, most environmental attorneys work tirelessly on cases that may never attract the attention of the media or Hollywood. These lawyers work in a variety of settings, including government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Even big businesses employ the services of environmental attorneys.
Show Your Skills
Environmental law requires skill in research and analysis. In this position, you review environmental regulations on a daily basis. You must analyze statutes such as the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act. Communication skills are necessary to share your findings with supervisors and other workers within the organization. If working within a government setting, you may also draft laws or make changes to existing ones. You don't have to be an expert, but most environmental issues require a general understanding of science or technology.
Government Path
The Environmental Protection Agency is the leading government employer of environmental lawyers. Through the creation of regulations and rules, the EPA ensures that companies are not harming the environment. The agency employs attorneys to write legislation and investigate companies that are not in compliance. In this position, you also litigate criminal enforcement cases. EPA attorneys research and advise on a variety of international environmental issues as well, including concerns over Japanese whaling. Fracking, which is a type of oil drilling, is another environmental issue that is attracting attention. Other government agencies that routinely employ environmental lawyers include the USDA Forest Service, as well as the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Private Path
Various nongovernmental agencies also work to protect the environment. Some, like the Sierra Club, are nonprofits that hire environmental lawyers to review government regulations and investigate offending businesses. These positions offer an opportunity to address specific environmental problems on behalf of individuals who may not otherwise have a voice. Private businesses, like energy and manufacturing corporations, also employ environmental attorneys. In these positions, lawyers review environmental policies and ensure that the company is in compliance. If the government finds the business in violation, the environmental lawyer may appeal the decision and appear in court to defend the company against government assessed penalties.
Standing Out
Make your resume stand out from the crowd by strengthening your environmental law knowledge. Write an article about a relevant environmental issue. Submit it to legal journals and reference the publication on your resume. Internships are also effective tools for gaining employment. The EPA, along with many private agencies, offer paid and unpaid opportunities.
Education and Earnings
The road to career in environmental law is paved with at least seven years of education. In addition to an undergraduate degree, you must also obtain a law degree. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics lists the average salary of lawyers in general at $113,530 per year. The outlook for the profession is average, with an expected job growth of 10 percent between 2012 and 2022. Environmental law is specifically expected to grow because of growing concerns about sustainability and climate change.

Sebastian- Exhaustion
Chapter Five-
Fynn's amused look turned to one of concern. "Come on, Sebastian," he said, ignoring the formalities of calling him 'my lord' or 'sire' as he stood up and walked over to his side. Wrapping his hand firmly around Sebastian's wrist, he took the heavy broadsword that he was holding and led him up the stairs.
"I can manage fine by myself," Sebastian said with a scowl. "I'm not a child."
"Let me help you, my lord," Fynn persisted, not letting go of his grip on Sebastian's arm. "You'll fall if you try to get back to your chambers by yourself."
Another wave of exhaustion fell over Sebastian and reluctantly, he nodded. "Fine," he grumbled. "Just get me back to my chambers. I have things to do."
"Alright," Fynn said, stumbling slightly as he began to walk up the stairs, leading Sebastian by the hold on his arm.
Halfway up the staircase, Sebastian turned around. "My helmet," he croaked, trying to shake free from Fynn's grip. "I need to go get my helmet."
"I'll get it," Fynn offered, releasing the hold on his arm. Hurrying down the stairs, he jogged to the side of the arena and grabbed the helmet. When he turned back around, Sebastian had collapsed to the floor.

Why Is Local Food Healthier?
This product is currently sold out.
Did you know that fruits and vegetables pack the most nutrition when they are ripe? Studies show that many nutrients are formed as the food ripens. And the moment they are picked, their sugars begin to convert to starch, their plant cells begin to shrink, and their nutrients begin to diminish. Therefore, the sooner you eat fresh foods, the more nutritious they are.
Why Is This Important?
When we buy foods that have been grown across the country or across the world, it can take weeks or longer for that food to travel from the farm to your table. As a result, these fruits and veggies must be harvested prematurely, which prevents some of their nutrients from forming. The foods are also treated with special gasses to further delay their ripening and ensure they survive their long journey.
And since it takes so much time for the fruits and veggies to travel from the farm to your table, much of the nutritional value it did have before it was harvested has been lost by the time it reaches your plate.
Local food doesn't travel long distances, so it can be ripened as nature intended, and picked when its nutritional value is highest.
And local foods usually arrive at the supermarket or restaurant within 24 to 48 hours after harvest, so they retain most of their nutritional value and do not require gasses to keep them "fresh".
You can find local food at the farmer's market, by subscribing to a weekly food box from Riverford and often through your local grocer or health food store. Some of the large supermarket chains have also begun carrying local foods, so check the labeling on the produce bins to see where the food was grown, or ask the grocer, if you're not sure.
How To...
Buy local food
- Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season. Why? When it's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer in the southern hemisphere. So fruits and vegetables that grow during the summer can be found in supermarkets during the winter… only when they are shipped from the opposite side of the world. That's a really long distance for food to travel!
- If you like to eat summer foods in the winter, then buy from the freezer section. The fruits and vegetables are frozen soon after harvest and the cold helps to retain their nutritional value.
- Or buy fresh produce when it is in season and freeze it yourself for the winter — or summer, if we're talking about winter squash or other cold-weather produce. Clean and pit the fruits and vegetables before freezing them. Then cut them up so they are easier to defrost and use later on. Store the foods in airtight freezer containers, and defrost as needed.
Good To Know
- Farmers Markets offer a wider variety of local foods that are not found in supermarket and restaurant chains. And most farmers offer samples, which makes it fun and easy to try new foods before buying them.
- Most Farmers Market produce is picked within a day of the market, and sometimes the same morning. Not only is the food fresher, healthier and more sustainably produced, but since it is sold directly to the consumer without a long supply chain in the middle, it is often less expensive too.
- The Farmers Market is a great place to teach children about healthy eating habits, and have them participate in tasting and choosing their food. Studies show that when children (and adults) are more involved with their food, they are more likely to eat their veggies and try something new.

Wisconsin oral surgeon redefines modern day missionary
Faith-filled doctor provides excellent care both in his practice and in the mission field.
While traditional missionaries have devoted their lives to full time ministry, Dr. Wagner and his staff are also committed to living out the Christian faith and Biblical principals both at their office and outside of the office as they use their surgical training to serve others.
"It goes hand in hand," Dr. Wagner says. "I hope people can see the light of our faith in how we treat them; and at the same time the fruit of faith in reaching out to people through mission work. I believe that my life is an extension of my faith. I try to live my faith so that others may come to know it as well."
Dr. Wagner's commitment to put his faith into practice has led to mission trips over the past 10 years to places like Panama, Guatemala, Argentina, New Guinea, New Zealand, Honduras and Kenya. Most of the trips have also involved members of his family and staff. In addition to cross-cultural missions, Dr. Wagner also uses his Wisconsin-based practice to reach the local community. His website includes a "Faith Message" page where he informs patients of his beliefs and involvement in ministry, asking them to "expect the best." Additionally, Dr. Wagner reaches others in the Wisconsin area by participating in events such as the Wisconsin Dental Association (WDA)'s annual local outreach, Mission of Mercy (MOM).
"A number of missionaries I've met around the world have traveled to Racine, usually as part of a visit to the U.S., and have had their oral surgery care provided here. We recently did a major reconstructive facial surgery for a young missionary from Argentina," said Wagner.
Most view traditional missionaries as those who leave modern day comforts to live abroad and teach the Bible to unreached people groups. However, Dr. Wagner and his team are part of a growing movement of Christians who find opportunities to reach others through professional training and the workplace. Billy Graham, one of the most respected and revered evangelists of this century said,
"I believe one of the next great moves of God is going to be through believers in the workplace."
Dr. Wagner and his staff at Wagner Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Specialists are proving Graham right. They're using their surgical knowledge and professional training to advance the love of Christ and giving others more than one reason to smile.
Wagner Oral Surgery is located in Racine, Wisconsin. Dr. Wagner is a board certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who practices a full scope oral surgery practice with an emphasis on dental implants, gentle tooth extractions such as wisdom teeth and anesthesia treatment.

The Second RecruitMature
The silence was interrupted.
"Hey, I said get up!"
And it was interrupted again. Who wanted to break this? A year had gone by since it had last been broken by Drakmor, himself, but never had someone else interrupted his silence.
"Maybe he's dead, Gray," a deep voice said.
"No, we have reports of a voice coming out of here a year back," another deep voice said, "And that was after ten years of being locked up."
"Whoa! Really? Just who is he?"
One of the people outside Drakmor's cell sighed. "Well, apparently he asked to be locked up. Something about trying to die. Anyway, let's see if he really is alive."
Keys. Yes, that's what the sound was. Drakmor couldn't see the door opening once the lock was dealt with, but the light burned him instantly. Water poured from his eyes to relieve the burning they felt, making Drakmor temporarily blind, but eventually he was able to see two men in armor standing over him.
"..o...re...yo....?" Drakmor's voice was still lost. As usual, though, the inner working's of his body were working to fix the issue. As the blood flowed to fix his throat, Drakmor watched the guards prod and kick is body. They hadn't heard him?
"His eyes are open and moving, I think," the older looking guard said flatly. He seemed in a superior position. What did they want?
"Who are you?" Drakmor said after a second.
The other guard, still large, but younger by a large margine, jumped slightly. "By the Gods!"
The older guard shook his head. He was experienced. "Stand up, Vayr."
Valeria. Drakmor stood as commanded. He didn't have a reason to say no. Maybe these men would occupy his mind for a while. The silence was becoming... painful. It only took a few seconds to adjust to moving once more, since it had only been a year since he had moved. This time, his bones held strong and supported his weight.
"How is he alive?!" the younger guard shouted to his fellow guard.
"Shut up, Sheer," the guard - whom Drakmor now knew to be Gray - snapped, "Now, follow me, Vayr, and no stopping."
Drakmor didn't move. "Why?"
"Because our king seems to have a better way for you to die." He was well-informed.
Drakmor just nodded and followed them out of his cell.
At first, he was amused at how much the walls of the dungeon had aged, as if neglected. What was the King of Galabria thinking, letting his dungeons become messy? Drakmor remembered him saying that if the castles worst parts looked clean, then it raised morale for the guards. He must have changed.... like so many others.
As they left the dungeon area, a girl held by two other guards passed them. She was a small one, though not weak-looking. She had what would be called an athletic build and golden hair to accent her body. Had it not been dirty and her grey eyes glaring at everyone around her, she might have been considered a noble in terms of beauty.
And, for some reason, when she looked at Drakmor, he sensed an odd feeling of understanding.
It lasted only a second before Drakmor left the dungeon and headed up to the floors above. He had thought he would see the King right away, but was instead escorted to a room full of servants. For some reason, he was measured instantly and clothed. It took a moment to understand that his clothes had become little more than rags from the time spent in the dungeons.
What they dressed Drakmor in was quite odd, truly. Had he been any other person, who was not dead inside, he would find these silky fabrics and neat stitches something to be cherished for all of his life. Sadly, Drakmor just didn't care.
They also shaved and cut his hair. From the long time spent underground, Drakmor had collected nearly a pile of extra hair in his face and head.
"Why did you have this done?" Drakmor asked one of the guards who were still waiting by the door when the servants finished with Drakmor.
"King's orders." Did the Galbradian King really care? Last time Drakmor had seen him, he thought Drakmor was crazy and a threat. He had only granted Drakmor's request out of fear that Drakmor was guilty of something.
The trip to the king was fast as soon as they left the dressing room. Apparently, from the looks of the castle flags and the King was some other person. King Remerez, from what Drakmor heard of the people in the hallway.
The King stood and greeted Drakmor with a smile. "Ah, so you are the legendary sleeper!"
"Sleeper?" Drakmor questioned.
One of the guards - the larger one - stomped. "Show respect!"
The King merely motioned the guard to stand down. "Now, now, no need for that." Remerez gave Drakmor a sly look. "The people here call you the sleeper because you haven't moved for ten years."
"Eleven years and twenty eight days," Drakmor corrected him.
The King gave a slight twitch and some girl who sat near him did the same. Sadly, they did not give an order of execution for Drakmor's insolence. Drakmor wasn't that lucky, though even if he was executed, he doubted it would work. "What is your name?"
"Drakmor Vayr."
"Is it true you can fight twenty men easily?"
"Where did you hear that?"
"Can you?"
The King smiled widely. "Then I have a task for you."
A task? That's what this was about. But... "Is it dangerous?"
Remerez shook his head. "Oh, of course not for someone of your caliber!"
"Then I am not interested." The King would have probably been mad if he had not been confused. "I am seeking death. Can you find a way to make that happen?"
King Remerez smiled widely. "Oh, you really are perfect for this job. Alright, then I'll let you in on a secret."
"Yes," the King said with a sly smile, "This is an extremely dangerous mission that you will most likely die in." Drakmor doubted it. "But if it doesn't and you can complete the mission, I will devote my men to finding a way to kill you. Do we have a deal?"
What was there to lose? "We do."
And that was all. Drakmor was escorted back to his cell until the next day could come and the mission could begin. What harm was there in trying out this foolish king's way? It was obvious he knew about Drakmor's life and his suicidal needs. He had played Drakmor - or attempted to - to follow his dance. Well, maybe this would be Drakmor's last night.
As Valeria would say, don't give up hope.
Drakmor didn't think she meant hope of death, though.

The Snake Charmer
This is a short story about friendship and betrayal. Set in a village, somewhere in Rajasthan, India, the story explores what it's like to be a Snake Charmer, the Master of Venom.
The story has a cliffhanger ending, and I did it as a coursework for my AS English Language. Do let me know what you feel about the story and the language.
The wind blew carrying a chill with it that forced the villagers to shiver and clatter their jaws. It had been exceptionally cold for past few days, beckoning everyone to come out of their small, clustered mud houses and sit by the bonfire in circles by the great Neem tree. The men sat chattering continuously about their day's work, harvest months, this years estimated crop yield, and landlord. The women sat in a small group of their own, conversing quietly and giggling occasionally. The children played around the flaming twigs and woods with keen vigour as the twilight faded away in the horizon and the velvet blanket of night spread in the sky with twinkling stars embedded in it.
From behind the tree, wearing muddy pajamas and dirty white kurta with a dark blue woolen muffler, came Harish Kaka. The children immediately stopped playing and surrounded him, prodding him to sit by the great Neem tree and narrate a story in the grand manner he did it. The elders too agreed. Everyone loved his stories. He scratched his dirty but completely white beard and sat down at his favorite spot, supporting his tired back on the trunk of the great Neem tree. The women stopped their discussions and joined everyone else in the audience. Thus began the narration of a master story-teller in a manner that has lost the way in the hands of time...
* * *
Bansi sat by the well, playing his been, the flute to charm the snake, as the cobra danced to his tune. He was a bit nervous. Anyone would be, after all it was the eve of the day he had been waiting for the past seven years. Bansi rotated the been in a rhythm and the cobra went up and down, hissing in intervals and following the flute with his head. Bansi's father stood there, observing the performance expressionlessly, like a good examiner would. Bansi's act finished as he wrapped up the been in a red cloth and packed away the snake in a basket.
"Was it ok father?" Bansi asked nervously.
"Yes my son, don't you worry." came an affectionate reply.
Bansi was sixteen, the right age to go and earn his living and support the family. He was a sapera, a charmer of snakes, a master of venom. Born in a family of saperas, he had promises to fulfill. He had to meet the tough expectations of his clan. So far, he had done so in the best manner possible. He was a humble person with respect for everybody in his heart. He trained hard with his snake, whom he had adopted at the age of nine. He worked according to the way his father had taught him and hoped to become a great sapera, just like his father.
Bansi started walking towards his friend Jai, who practiced outside his house. Jai was a man of opportunities and skill. He was as good as Bansi at charming the snakes, so they would be competing for work. The others were good too, however not like Bansi or Jai, who were both of same age and had found two snakes together under the tree, each adopting one.
Jai was the son of the legendary sapera, the one who had managed to go to the city for ten years straight and then for another five years straight after a break of a year, which was voluntary. Jai had inherited his skills. Bansi sat besides Jai. They talked for a while and then Bansi went home, retiring for the night. Tomorrow was a big day...
The sun rose the next day, glaring down on the village and threatening to scorch the entire life out of it. Today was the day it was going to be decided. Today, one young man from the village was going to the city to earn a living at the annual festival. The favorites were Bansi and Jai.
Bansi stood facing Jai, just before Durga Chacha, the great man who took people to city, came to see who was the best sapera to be taken. Bansi stood there with a colourful cloth tied on his head in a circle and a white, fading dhoti draped loosely over his thin, bony legs.
"Best of luck, Jai." Bansi said.
"You will need it more than me." Jai replied, his tone rude.
Durga Chacha came in a great orange truck with a devil's mask hanging by the bumper and sat down on a chair that Jai's family had brought out for him. He ate all that was offered to him, accounting for his obesity. He called upon all the candidates and asked for a performance. Jai was a first one. He put on a good show, making the cobra dance around in a fantastic way that mesmerized the people around. His performance was so good that two contestants pulled out. After him came three other people who seemed to be of no comparison to the mighty Jai.
All this while, Bansi stood patiently. He was practicing his tune and humming it under the breath. He was sure he had a better show than even Jai. At last his turn came. He took is position, took out his been and started playing the tune. The cobra did not come out of its basket. He opened the basket and what he saw horrified him. His cobra, the venom, his pet, lay dead in the basket, its head cut in half. He looked around in shock to spot a contended smile on Jai's dark, evil face.

The wind did not stop throughout the narration, but no one moved. All the men, women and children sat transfixed by the story that had just been told. There was a complete silence as the wind rustled through the leaves of the great Neem tree.
"What happened after that?" asked a child, with his voice shaking.
Harish Kaka smiled, "That is another story. Some other day, some other time."
