It is with great sadness that I announce the horrifying demise of phone #59 last night at approximately 7:45pm. I dropped the phone onto the road as I exited the car. I was completely unaware of this fact, of course. The phone was discovered when guests at the CNY dinner heard a loud crack and one of them went to the road to see what was the cause. There, she found the mangled, broken body of the victim lying face down, its screen smashed into a thousand, little pieces. Death was instantaneous.
Previous causes of phone deaths include, but not limited to, drowning in the washing machine, committing suicide by jumping into the toilet hole in Shell Kelana Jaya restroom, abandonement at the immigration desk in Changi airport and, most famously, by hiding in the backseat of various taxis all over the world. However, I must admit that last night's death was by far the most sadistic in my long and proud history of murdering mobile phones.
Before I conclude this eulogy, here's some house announcement:
1) As the micro SIM card cannot be inserted into my spare (basic) phone, I shall be incommunicado intermittently until I get a new phone or get a temporary number to tide me over;
2) I am able to use facebook messenger when I am at home or at the office or wherever there is internet access. But, if you call me or text me and I do not respond, it doesn't mean that I am a snob or that I hate you and I have changed my number in order to avoid you. Maybe I do but that's a different story;
3) With regards to item 1, I so the very welcome any phone donation, new or old. For the uninitiated, I have ceased buying my own phone since June 2010 due to the fact that I kill or lose them very often. Please note that usually I carry two numbers — office and personal. The incapacitated phone was my personal one. Since I am starting a new job soon, I have yet to be issued an office phone. Til then, see item 2.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the donor who gave me this phone. Despite its gruesome death, this phone lasted a little over 6 months, which in itself is some kind of a record. Bravo.
On that note, please join me in a moment of silence to mourn phone #59. RIP Pink Motorola. May you find peace in mobile phone heaven, if there is such a thing.
(I wonder what phone #60 would look like.)

I Have to be Strong Because I Have No Other Choice
Kota Bharu, October 2014
(follow Siti Britney on facebook.com/sitibritneysayang)
Today I went to the launch of Rumah Sahabat, which is located in Kota Bharu, at the invitation of Malaysian Aids Council. It is a halfway home that provides shelter, support group and methadone therapy to former drug addicts who are HIV+.
I was greeted at the airport by a designated driver, let's call him Abu.
Abu is a well-dressed, well-spoken guy who works as a peer counselor with Ministry of Health. His main role is to provide counselling and, I guess the best word to describe it is "pujukan", to those who are HIV+ to start antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. He also volunteers at the centre that provides needle exchange to current addicts who are not ready to graduate to methadone therapy.
On the way to Rumah Sahabat he told me that he came back to Kota Bharu earlier this year. Prior to this he worked for 4 years with Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli (JHEOA) teaching Fardhu 'Ain to Orang Asli children in Gua Musang.
"It is hard work, kak," Abu explained. "I worked for 3 weeks without any leave, and then I get one week off."
"Why is that?" I asked.
"The location is very remote," said Abu. "It takes about 2 hours by motorbike just to get out to the main road, and then it would be another hour to get to Kota Bharu."
"So, after four years I took a job with Ministry of Health at its Health Education Division. But I could not get used to living in Kuala Lumpur, so after 3 months I came back to Kota Bharu."
"Kuala Lumpur is hot," he said with a chuckle.
After the launch ceremony was over, I decided to try to catch an earlier flight back to Subang so I turned down the invitation to join the delegation for a Kota Bharu food tour. So Abu, once again, became my designated driver.
I asked him about his education and how he ended up choosing a career as a peer counsellor.
"I went to a religious school," Abu said, "Then I went to further my studies in Melaka."
"I lived in my kampong my entire life that when I went off to college I became completely uncontrollable. I experienced an extreme form of cultural shock. That's also the reason why I cannot live outside Kota Bharu for too long," Abu explained.
Then he slowed the car and confided, "Kak, actually I am HIV+ too. I was diagnosed in 2007 but I refused to get any treatment because I could not believe it. I only started treatment in 2011, and now I am in a 2-year clinical study for a new combination of ARV."
I asked him if it was his HIV+ status that made him decide to work as a peer counsellor.
"Not at first," Abu said. "Working with JHEOA was the best option for me. I get to go to the hospital once a month, and then at the same time I get to do something useful with my life."
"I love teaching. I did a lot of volunteer work during the one-week leave that I got every month," Abu added.
"At first it was helping to distribute condoms to sexual workers. Then I volunteered at the needle exchange centre.
Drug addicts have it a lot harder than other high-risk groups. They don't know how to tell if they are sick; on top of that they have to fight off the addiction. Almost always when a drug abuser discovers that he has HIV+, his CD4 count is very close to 200, which means it would progress to full-blown AIDS soon.
Sexual workers depend on being healthy in order to be able to continue getting customers. So they are the most aware; they will voluntarily get tested twice a year.
I, on the other hand, am in the promiscuous group," Abu explained.
"Before you say anything," he continued, "Let me just say it – padan muka saya. Serves me right, right?"
I laughed and said I did not intend to say that at all.
"We have different challenges and carry different burdens," I said to Abu.
"You are given a second chance at life and are able to contribute back to the society in a meaningful way. Not all of us are given the opportunity, or come to self-awareness, to do so."
"That is true," Abu agreed.
"In fact, I knew I was putting myself at risk. I remember saying berani buat, berani tanggung when the people around me asked me to practice safe sex. So, when I discovered I was HIV+, I told myself, well Abu, you got what you deserve."
"Acceptance took a long time," he added.
"I waited 4 years before accepting that I need to look after myself and started my therapy. Not that I was blaming God or anything: I just simply could not believe I am HIV+ because I felt completely healthy. But 8 HIV+ tests couldn't all be wrong, right?"
"How young are you?" I asked.
"I am 32 now. I discovered I was HIV+ when I was 25."
"My parents still don't know about this," Abu said.
"They are nice people. I just haven't found the right words to say."
"Is it hard living with HIV?" I asked.
"Not at all," he answered. "Of course I miss eating sushi and Bliss yogurt (we both laughed), but managing my condition is pretty easy. It is a lot about compliance to the ARV therapy and the usual stuff — eat healthily, exercise, sleep.
There is a lot of support group and the Government is doing a lot of work behind the scenes that regular people don't see. What is hard, at least for me, is talking to these drug addicts and trying to convince them to take the medicine. Most of them don't want to because they fear the medicine will interfere with their "enjoyment" of taking heroin. Being a HIV+ person gives me a better understanding of what these abusers go through, and I think I can reach out to them.
It is not easy to be a peer counselor. You need to have a very steady and strong heart and mind because 99% of the time you get defeated. But I have to be strong because I have no other choice."
We hugged our goodbyes at the airport. I wished him well and told him to give me a call if he is ever in Kuala Lumpur again. I knew now what he meant when he said Kuala Lumpur is hot.
I don't think I can do what Abu does. I am book-smart, I know how to make money but I don't think I have the presence of mind or heart to be able to devote my life to saving other people's lives.
Saya doakan Abu dipanjangkan umur dan dimurahkan rezeki dan diberi keberkatan supaya dia boleh membantu seberapa ramai yang mungkin mengatasi masalah ketagihan dadah dan mendapatkan rawatan yang sewajarnya, Inshaa Allah, amin.

Some of you may not know this but I used to be a very keen runner. At one point, I would run 5km twice daily (before and after work) but various injuries in 2012 derailed me. I picked up running again in 2013 as I was living very near to KLCC . The running track in the park is so nice and beautiful. So for about 6 solid months, I ran very consistently every morning before I go to work.
However, once I started with Firefly and moved back to Subang Jaya, I stopped exercising almost completely — it started with a sprained knee at the start 2014 so I switched to swimming but then inexplicably, I just went lazy and did nothing and put on a lot of weight which continued all the way up to about 3 weeks ago. Can you see how round my face is in the 2014 pic?
I had coffee with Carrie just before I started working at the new place; she was so horrified when she saw me that she loaned me her physical trainer (PT) and forced me to go to her gym so that she could whip my ass into shape.
Due to my prolonged knee injury, lots of the exercise that I do for the last 3 weeks focuses on knee rehab to strengthen muscles followed by yoga stretches and this week, we will be introducing free weights and a 1-mile Walk Challenge to build up my fitness.
It will be a long hard road to get back to my June 2013 form (age is a factor and I eat cake a lot now that I live next door to Empire!), but I am quite sick of being sick and tired all the time so I am posting this pic here as inspiration to get me back on the treadmill. Let's see if by the end of the year I am able to shed some weight and get a little fitter than I am today that I can (finally) take the 3-mile Walk Challenge and finish it below 45 minutes.
Wish me luck!

The ethnic Tutsi refugees from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo were killed at Mudende camp, about 120 km (75 miles) northwest of Kigali, when it was attacked on Wednesday night by Hutu militiamen armed with rifles, grenades and machetes, according to a senior army official.
A total of 271 people were killed in the attack and 227 were wounded, said Colonel Nyamwasa Kayumba.
Yesterday morning survivors were burying the dead - mostly women and children and most bearing horrific wounds - just yards from the tents in which they were slaughtered.
One survivor, whose son was hacked to death, said: "They came very quietly while we were sleeping and we had no chance to escape. They just started chopping, chopping, chopping."
The UN refugee chief, Sadako Ogata, strongly condemned the attack and a spokeswoman called the attackers merciless.
The US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, told a news conference in Congo that she was asking US war crimes envoy David Scheffer to go to Rwanda to assist in the investigation of the massacre.
Mr Scheffer, who has been accompanying Mrs Albright on a seven-nation African tour, had been asked to go back to Rwanda, to try to assist in the probe of the killings.
Mrs Albright, the most senior US official to visit Rwanda since a genocide in 1994, has condemned a recent upsurge of violence in the country connected with the return from Congo of hundreds of thousands of Hutu refugees who fled their country in 1994, fearing reprisals for the genocide. Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus died in Rwanda in 1994 during a genocide by extremist Hutu militia and members of the former government and army. Rwanda's government fought its way to power during the genocide. Reuters, Mudende

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 14, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas jfiu New Braunfels N«w Braunfels, Texas Hwrald-Zeitung Vol. 92 No. 1 02 Pana, Q Co/'tinnc WEDNESDAY September 14,1983 25 cents 34 Pages — 3 Sections (USPS 377-8801 Mattox indicted for bribery Attorney General charged over alleged threat to law firm JIM MATTOX bribery charge AUSTIN (AP) — The prosecutor who helped indict Attorney General Jim Mattox on bribery charges says the investigation is continuing with inquiries into an artificial turf contract and state intervention in a private bankruptcy case. Mattox became the first Texas attorney general in modem history to be indicted while in office Tuesday. He was accused of threatening to ruin a Houston law firm's public bond business unless it stopped trying to interrogate Mattox's sister. Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle mentioned two subjects Tuesday when asked what was "left on the table" as matters still under investigation concerning Mattox. "Allegations involving Superturf and Sheam Moody," Earle said in referring to two other controversial matters reported in The Dallas Morning News. The newspaper said Mattox steered a $1.3 Kuempel—Mattox should quit State Rep. Edmund Kuempel says Tuesday's indictment of Attorney General Jim Mattox "puts a black mark on all public officials." "He has been indicted; he'll have his day in court," said the Seguin representative Wednesday in a telephone interview from his Austin office. He said Mattox would have a chance to prove himself innocent of the bribery charges brought against him. But even if he does, Kueinpel is not sure he can rid himself of the stigma of all this negative publicity. "I would personally like to see him (Mattox) step down; I think it would be best for the people of Texas. But I strongly believe in the judicial process," the representative said And he said any decision about the future of his job was a personal one for Mattox to make. Kuempel told KGNB Radio Tuesday that Mattox certainly should leave office if he's found guilty, and that the governor would probably force him out if he didn't resign. If the attorney general is found innocent, then he should be exonerated. Kuempel said ' But the stigma is still there, and it sometimes has a bearing on what kind of job you can do, whether the people have any trust in you or not," he said He indicated that he hates to see this sort of thing happen in government, whether at the state, local or federal level. -DYANNE FRY million synthetic turf contract at Texas Southern University to a political supporter after it had already been awarded to someone else It was alleged that the university changed its specifications for the turf after Mattox intervened Mattox denied any wrongdoing and said he saved the state $50,000 The paper also has reported that Mattox intervened on behalf of Moody in a private bankruptcy case, and that IO days later A Don Crowder. Mattox's former law partner, received a $20,000 payment from Moody, a Galveston millionaire. Mattox acknowledged Crowder phoned him on behalf of Moody, but denied the) discussed the merits of the case. Mattox said the $20,000 was a retainer and paid for Crowder's legal services after Mattox had already intervened See MATTOX. Page UA Dolph's out Drought forces Briscoe from Senate race AUSTIN (AP) — Former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe says the weather's all wrong for hun to get in the chase for John Tower's U.S. Senate seat. Briscoe, a Democrat who would be expected to draw much of the conservative vote, said Tuesday the long Texas drought dried up his political comeback plans. "I'm not rn a position to leave the problems created by the extended drought," he said rn a telephone interview from hid San Antonio office. Bnscoe's 430,000-acre holdings include a cattle operation that has suffered through the drought. The business problems "require lots of personal attention and would not make it possible to devote full time to a campaign, and a campaign is a full-time commitment," he said. Briscoe's exit left U.S. Rep. Kent Hance, former U.S. Rep Bob Krueger and state Sen. Lloyd Doggett of Austin as the top Democratic contenders for the seat. Tower surprised Texans by announcing Aug. 23 that he would not run for re-election. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul. R-Lake Jackson, is the only btg-name Republican who has announced for the race. U.S. Rep. Phil Gramm. a former Democrat, is touring the state to measure support in the Republican primary. Hance, Doggett and a spokesman for Krueger all claimed the Briscoe decision would help their campaigns. "Most political observers had said that we both would get a lot of support from the same people," said Hance. "Obviously, Dolph Briscoe has a lot of support in South Texas and the labor community. That is support we felt that if Briscoe was not in the race that we could get," said Robert Mead, Krueger's press secretary. "By golly, who'll be next?" said Doggett. "This is the best news I've heard since Tower quit. I welcome anybody else getting out, too." Briscoe said he "had been anticipating getting into the race for some time, but the extended drought that started last fall and has not abated yet is still underway and has left me with problems I don't fee) that I can leave at this time. "We had to sell and ship to market cattle, some of them not ready to go to market, and we'll have to continue to move cattle to market in spite of fact that See BRISCOE. Page 14A Henry, residents working out gripes DOLPH BRISCOE no Senate race By DYANNE FRY Staff writer Bob Henry , residents of Bavarian Village Subdivision and the Qty ii New Braunfels have agreed to wait a month and try to resolve their differences outside of Municipal Court. Five misdemeanor complaints filed by Bavarian Village residents against Henry were scheduled for trial Tuesday. But the defendants talked to the complainants and the prosecuting attorney for some time before going into the courtroom, and apparently reached an agreement that was amenable to all parties. The Henrys have agreed to take some action to clean up some things, and the city has agreed to recommend that charges be dismissed, if it's taken care of within the next 30 days." said Henry's attorney, Cecil W Bam of San Antonio. City Attorney John Churm, ap pointed to prosecute the complaints because of a conflict of interest on the part of City Prosecutor Bruce Boyer, was not available for comment Municipal Judge David Perkins said that essentially, a continuance was granted on the case If the city still wants lo prosecute after 30 days. it can; if the Bavarian Village residents decide to drop the charges, that's okay, too Henry's family owns the Schiit-terbahn and luanda Resort, but the misdemeanor complaints were filed in connection with some unrelated properties along the Comal Creek, north and west of Bavarian Village Subdivision. Residents of that neighborhood have accused Henry of violating five city ordinances The complaints include depositing of unsightly substance on a public street, illegal dumping of trash on See HENK V. Page 14APlanners turn eyes to annexation proposals By DYANNE FRY Staff writer Two plate, a rezoning recommendation and a $50,000 trust agreement were okayed without much ado, and the Planning and Zoning Commission went home early Tuesday night. A scheduled "report on annexation" didn't entail too much. Planning Director Debra Goodwin said the item had been placed on the agenda "just basically to get the commission in the annexation frame of mind" after eight months of waiting for federal approval on the city's new district election plan. "You can be reviewing some of your materials," Goodwin suggested. "If you've misplaced them, let me know; if you don't know what I'm talking about, let me know and I'll find something for you to look at." Two new members, Terry Burto and Larry Brumbelow, have joined the commission since annexation was last discussed. Commission chairman David Hartmann did meet recently with City Manager E.N. Delashmutt, who indicated he'd like to see some definite plans by January, Hartmann told the commission. II City Council gets some formal recommendations by that tune, it can discuss them and schedule the necessary public hearings in February and March, and be ready for action by early June. "Which is the timetable we have always used for annexation," Hartmann said. The city limits were last extended in the summer of ISSI, when seven different areas were taken rn. The city's long-range plan targets IO more areas for annexation by the end of 1985, and it now looks as if none will be taken in in 1963. Last spring, the planning commission recommended annexation three small, unpopulated areas. City Council reviewed the plans and asked Delashmutt to schedule public hearings, but that was as far as the effort went. The annexations were put on hold at the recommendation of the city attorney while the U.S. Department of Justice mulled the election plan. Commissioners may soon have plenty of time to talk about annexation, because they've almost finished another long-term project: the updating (rf the city's subdivision ordinance The group finished revising at a workshop meeting on June 21, and is now waiting to review the final draft of the new code Goodwin told members Tuesday that the last correction had been made, and that she planned to go over the ordinance with Qty Attorney John Churm some time this week. "We'U have it to you, hopefully, by October," she said cautiously. When the commission passes final judgment on the ordinance, the Qty Council will get its turn to wade through the 108-page document. No one came to a "public hearing" on a request for R-3 zoning rn Shadow Park Subdivision So the commission decided to recommend approval of developer A E Frtcke's request. "I don't have any problem with it." said S D David Jr The 5.783 acres in question are now zoned R-2, which would allow duplexes Fncke wants to divide the property into 14 lots and build quadruplexes. so he has asked that the property be rezoned multi-family residential It's not really going to affect the people over in Green Valley Home Estates, because he's on the other side of the property David noted All members present voted in favor of the recommendation, except John Dterksen, who abstained Plats for Anita's Acres.

In politics, a business where many "go along to get along," Mattox has thrived on controversy. But none of the batties is as serious as Tuesday's commercial bribery indictment, a charge that carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. "I have not done one single thing wrong in hts entire matter," Mattox has said on a 2 Vi-month investigation into his campaign finances and other allegations against State Rep. Bob Bush, Doberman, said Tuesday that Mattox's approach to life is part of the attorney general's legal problems. "He baa a pugnacious personality He's net the friendliest man I've ever met by any means," said Bush, chairman of the Hmm Judiciary Committee. Mattox is "unusually pugnacious for a public official," according to Bush, and that image "makes it easy for < people) to have prejudice against him." Mattox, single and 40, is the feisty son of a broken home. When he was 12, his father left home, and his mother raised the three Mattox children by waiting tables at an Italian restaurant in Dallas. "A number of the guys I grew up with ended up in prison," he once said, referring to his childhood East Dallas friends et "a tough crowd." He's only lost one politics I contest, a three-vote defeat in a 1888 precinct chairman race. It's a race long forgotten by most, but Mattox remembers it as one in which he was branded as a candidate with "socialistic tendencies." In IHS, he was elected student body president of the huffiness school et Baylor. Characteristically, he ran against the power structure. "I ran an anti-fraternity campaign," he recalled. Friends say backing down is not Mattox's style. "I don't think retreat is in his vocabulary. He's more tenacious than a bulldog. I believe you have to kill him to get him loose," said Joe Gunn, secretary-treasurer of the Texas AFL-CIO, which supported hun in his successful race for attorney general last year.

No issue. Masturbate once a day 5 days a week maximally .. not more than that.. and drink plenty of oral fluid, eat green leafy vegetables and yellow orange vegetables and fruits.

Hi, masturbation is an healthy sexual activity. It will not harm to your health. Sometimes It can interfere or disturb daily activity. If it is excessive you can control it by doing yoga, jogging, When you get the urge to masturbate, quickly engage in an alternative activity. Whether you pick up a book or go to the movies with friends, participate in anything that will successfully distract you from your masturbatory desires. Find other pleasurable activities that bring you joy. Find an enjoyable hobby that requires your full attention. For example, if you enjoy art take a painting class.consult general physician for furthur evaluation and guidance.

CLC named among top community colleges
CLC named among top community colleges
For the third time, Central Lakes College has been named one of the top 150 community colleges in the country by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program. CLC is now eligible to compete for the 2015 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence and $1 million in prize funds.
The prize, awarded every two years, is the nation's recognition of high achievement and performance among America's community colleges and recognizes institutions for exceptional student outcomes in four areas: student learning, certificate and degree completion, employment and earnings, and high levels of access and success for minority and low-income students.
"Central Lakes College is pleased to be named one of the top 150 community colleges in the nation for a third year," said Dr. Larry Lundblad, CLC president. "Central Lakes College is very focused on providing the best possible learning environment for all of our students. The recognition by the Aspen Institute indicates that we are making great progress in our quality measures."
Ten finalists will be named in fall 2014. The Aspen Institute will then conduct site visits to each of the finalists and collect additional quantitative data, including employment and earnings data from states and transfer data from the National Student Clearinghouse. A prize jury will select a grand prize winner and a few finalists with distinction in early 2015.

Following a revolt by Burberry's shareholders over the pay package for new chief executive Christopher Bailey, the luxury goods group is under the cosh again, this time from the stock market.
Its shares have slipped 20p to £14.32 in what is otherwise a fairly upbeat FTSE 100, not helped by downbeat note from Berenberg. The bank's analyst John Guy issued a hold note with a £15.50 price target, saying:
On a PE-relative basis, Burberry is below its seven-year average, which may appear harsh given the underlying resilience of the top line. However, the risk of lacklustre earnings leverage persists to 2017 due to currency headwinds in 2015, the loss of Japanese profit associated with the licence termination from June 2015, incremental costs on the back of the roll-out of the Japanese global product offering and gross margin dilution as the Beauty sales footprint expands.
Currency is the principal headline earnings dilutor in 2015. According to our estimates, Burberry has around 50% operating expense exposure to sterling and does not hedge translational sales. The recent sterling appreciation from May to July has resulted in an additional £15m negative retail/wholesale EBIT effect, taking the 2015 total impact to £55m should spot rates remain at constant levels. Moreover, there is no change to expectations of a £10m decrease to licence revenues.
We believe that recently appointed chief executive Christopher Bailey has the commercial acumen and creative credentials to take the Burberry brand into its next phase of profitable growth. However, we acknowledge that the path to operational excellence may be harder to navigate against the backdrop of incremental cost pressure (Japan, digital-related investments, costs associated with Chinese ex-franchise store renovations and the Beauty roll out).

It's been at the center of Houston's bustling downtown area for almost a century and now the 1910 Harris County Courthouse is in the middle of a major facelift, the first it's had since 1954. But as Houston Public Radio's Jack Williams reports, the restoration will make the historic building look older, not newer.
For a good portion of the 20th century, the 1910 courthouse was Harris County's main administrative building, a solid, 6-story granite structure that's seen the city grow up around it. Still surrounded by huge oak trees, the courthouse is now nearly gutted as crews begin a major restoration project. Dan Reissig is with the Harris County Public Infrastructure Department and is overseeing the project.
"We've taken out all the mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems of the building so it is basically going to be gutted and fully restored. All the public areas, the spaces where the public can actually go will look as they looked before the '54 renovation, so 1910-1954."
The restoration will include re-opening a center rotunda from the second through sixth floors that was closed in 1954, adding a skylight and rebuilding two monumental entry staircases like the original ones. Two two-story courtrooms will be occupied by the First and Fourteenth Courts of Appeals when the project is finished.
"It will be a functional building but it's also going to be almost like a museum to some degree because people will be able to come in here and visit the building and see what the building looked like 100 years ago. I don't think there's maybe a handful of buildings in Houston where you can really claim that's the case."
Reissig says there's been a change in the approach to restoring old buildings in Houston, where newer isn't necessarily better.
"Typically what you're trying to do is modernize the building and make it look newer and fresher, but the goal of this building is really just the opposite of that. What we're trying to do is do a historic restoration where we take the building back in time and try to make it look like what it looked like 100 years ago."
The restoration will cost around $65 million, with Texas Historical Commission grants expected to cover about $6 million of the cost as part of the state's Historic Courthouse Preservation Project. Lynn Edmundson is with Historic Houston, an organization dedicated to saving old buildings.
"I think there is a real community awareness of how important the built environment is to our past and what that represents and I think the community as a whole is now recognizing that preserving those aspects of our joint history is an important aspect."
The project is expected to be complete in November of 2010, in time for the courthouse's 100th anniversary. You can see pictures of the 1910 Courthouse on our website, KUHF.org.

What is probably the most common question I get regarding application compatibility?
"Can you just give me a list of all of the applications that work on Windows Vista?"
Sounds easy, huh? Well, it's not quite that easy.
First of all, there is the obvious problem of claiming that any software works at all. If anybody can come up with a full proof way of proving that any piece of software at all is bug-free, then that person is going to be very rich indeed. Even if we fully test software as we would use it, that doesn't mean we use it how you would use it. If I use some CAD software to design houses again and again and it works flawlessly under a huge amount of testing, what happens if the bugs exist when you use it to design something very small (like a screw) or something with a lot more vertices, such as a piston engine? We just don't know.
You would be surprised at how many "compatibility problems" I have investigated where, after uncovering the root of the problem, I can say definitively that the software could have never worked on any operating system. Sure enough, we run it on their current operating system, and it doesn't work there either.
Since you can't effectively just have people imagine how to use something and test it that way, our idea was to enhance any testing and bug submissions that we investigate with a community feature, which we added to the Application Compatibility Toolkit. But it turns out that this was harder than it seems. Why?
Well, first of all, people want this data when they're getting started. So, while we would exchange your votes for other peoples' votes, most people would perform this exchange before they had voted for anything. So, you'd exchange your "I don't know yet" vote for what we had out there. And how many people would go back at the end to send up their votes after they were done testing? Well, quite a few actually, but not as many as everyone would like. So that's one challenge.
But the bigger problem is that the majority of enterprises don't really much care if it works or not if, when something does go wrong (remember, works doesn't mean bug free), they call the vendor and the vendor will just hang up on them if you're using Windows Vista. They want "works" and "supported".
(This is another conversation I have a lot. "Can you figure out how to get this to work." "I see that this software directly controls your company's finances – if it takes some shims to work, are you really going to want to run it that way?" "Oh, no, it has to be supported." "Then why are we bothering to fix up this version?")
So we had another idea that we thought was quite clever. We already had infrastructure in place to allow our partners to certify an application as Certified for Windows. So, why not just leverage that. But, instead of making you pass a set of quality and reliability criteria that needs to be verified by a third party vendor (oh yeah, and that costs money), why not just let the partner self-certify that it works and that they'll support it on Windows Vista? Let's make it so easy that everybody of course would do it.
Except, of course, they didn't. We did make it super easy, but we were a middle man that not every partner saw as necessary in the equation. They already have a relationship with you, why do they have to tell us? And it probably smelled a little "official" what with the standardized logo and all. So, despite being a pretty good idea, it didn't get the uptake it needed to be super useful either.
Two good ideas, and still not a whole lot of data. Hrph.
So, we had another idea. If not enough people are coming to us, we'll go to them. So we hired some folks to go ferreting around vendor web sites looking for statements of support. Hey, we're the ones who have the shiny new OS, we're happy to do the legwork. And that's what we're still doing. Taking the existing Works With and Certified For data, and for the rest, scouring our partners' web sites looking for support statements. If they have one saying the support Windows Visa, we'll tell you about it, and give you a link so you can go and see it yourself!
The list.
And hence http://www.appreadiness.com/default.aspx was born.
Except it's not the entire list. The community data isn't on there. Nor can it really be, since we have a privacy policy and statement within ACT. You get this data only when you have that application. So, our next step is to get this data into ACT so you can see all 3 things at one swoop, correlated to the inventory data of what you're running. What do other people say? What does the vendor say to us? And what does the vendor say to you on their web site.
(We have also added a new Community section to appreadiness.com to try and capture some of this.)
But, if you're not using ACT, you can get 2 out of 3, and we're still working on it. We're working really hard to push out any data we can to help you out. There's no reason for everyone to do the same web searches – we'll do it once, and let you get it from there.
One caveat I would add – there are no stipulations on what can go on this list regarding the configuration they support. The developers could say it's supported on Windows Vista only if running as full admin with UAC disabled. They could say it's supported on Windows Vista only if you run with a certain security policy. And, if your standard image doesn't allow you to run this way (say you are targeting a standard user desktop, which a lot of people are now that we have so much great support for standard user mitigations in Windows Vista) then perhaps you don't want it supported *that* way – you'll want to read the support statement we link to in order to really understand it.
How are we doing? Is this the list you want? When we get this fully tied in with ACT, are we getting closer to what you need? Is this list enough? How could we do better? In an ideal world, exactly one person would have to investigate compatibility, and the rest of the world could leverage that knowledge. I don't think we'll ever get to the ideal, but I think we're a lot closer now to keeping this at a minimum and letting you just verify the scenarios that are important to you as well as assessing the level of vendor support.
Because we want to give you "the list." Even if it's hard work.

Editor's Note: Darius Himes
Whenever there is a cultural statement involving the "death" of something, you can be assured that a proliferation and rebirth of that very thing is already happening in the nooks and crannies of popular culture. The renaissance is usually spearheaded by artists, and while it doesn't have the same mass-market reach, it is usually far more culturally satisfying. Vinyl is still around, television didn't kill radio, college kids now want to become organic farmers, many stores within a few blocks of my flat sell working typewriters, the production process for books has never been more accessible, and you're reading this…

I have acne scars along with wrinkles, so one of my friends suggested taking collagen supplements. I have been taking them for a little over 90 days and I have recently started having chest pains. Would the supplements be related to the chest pain at all?
Collagen Supplements Causing Chest Pain?
Doctor Answers 3
Collagen Supplements
Thank you for your question. For any kind of chest pain, you need to be immediately evaluated by qualified medical personnel. They can determine the cause of the pain. Chest pain is never something to be taken lightly. You could have a serious problem unrelated to your supplements. See your medical doctor for an evaluation. I hope this helps.
In each practice the treatments vary. In our practice for acne scars we do Profractional laser, Micro laser peel, DOT co2 laser or even a mini face lift to pull the skin and help remove get rid of the deep holes caused by acne.
Collagen supplements should not cause chest pain
If you have chest pain, you need to see your primary care physician to have that evaluated. Collagen supplements don't do anything for building collagen in your skin, and although any medication or supplement you take can potentially cause an allergic reaction, it is also possible that the cause of your chest pain is from something completely different. Please see your regular doctor as soon as possible.

Long Shadows is now Available to Pre-order
"An astute lyricist" ~ MOJO
Book your tickets to see the album performed live at the iconic Half Moon in Putney.
Multiple Brit & Grammy award winner John Illsley is set to release his sixth solo studio album 'Long Shadows' on May 13th 2016. The album follows his 2014 studio release 'Testing The Water' and last year's live album 'Live In London'.
After cutting his teeth as bass player and one of the founding members of Dire Straits, Illsley has also released a steady stream of solo material, an output that, although never rushed, has been critically acclaimed. Undertaking lead vocal, acoustic guitar and bass duties on all of the album's eight tracks, Illsley's unmistakable sound, approach to arrangement and song writing is paired with his faultless lyrical storytelling. A departure from the previous album's themes of personal trials and tribulations, Illsley comments that the lyrical content pertains to "the obvious political and social elements which have always concerned me."
Although Illsley has never been one to comment extensively on the meaning behind his lyrical inspirations (preferring to leave interpretation to the listener), some tracks on 'Long Shadows' do have a defined and contemporary relevance. Illsley remarks "'In the Darkness' for example is a take on the internet and how it seduces us all in some ways, but particularly those young people who get influenced to join radical religious groups."
Opening with the solemn instrumental 'Morning', the album swells and dips with each musical movement. Energetic numbers, like 'In The Darkness' and 'Long Shadow' are indicative of Illsley's rock and blues background, demonstrating his ability as a seasoned musician and composer who can move with the times, whilst slower tracks like 'There's Something About You' and 'Ship Of Fools' showcase Illsley's story telling, as his vocals become reminiscent of the blues troubadours of old.
Illsley enlisted a roster of top friends and musicians for this release, including Simon Johnson (Lana Del Rey, James Morrison) on electric guitar and Guy Fletcher performing keyboard duties, as well as co-producing the album with Illsley. The Mark Knopfler owned British Grove Studios along with Room with a View Studio & A Bay Studios were used to record and produce the record, with Illsley's children Jess and Dee Dee Illsley also contributed backing vocals.
John also expresses himself through painting, a passion he has developed over the last twenty years, and has now had solo exhibitions around the world. "For me art and music are interlinked - you start with a blank canvas and work away until you are satisfied that you have made something which is as close as it can to be to what you are trying to achieve. There is a great element of mystery in both processes which can surprise you and upset you in equal measure." His most recent art exhibition took place at Belgravia Gallery in May last year.

From Software struck gold with Demon's Souls, the 2009 dark fantasy RPG that would eventually spawn a franchise–as well as a much-needed name change. It was critically acclaimed for its unforgiving nature, beautifully realized world and innovative multiplayer. It should have become a cult hit; a critical darling with a steep learning curve that seemed destined to be embraced by a loving, albeit small, community of diehard fans. Instead, its sequel saw similar reviews and significantly better sales.
This week saw the release of Dark Souls II — find out if it continues this series' success in my review.
I feel like I should start off a review of a game like this with a disclaimer, of sorts.
For the unfamiliar, like its predecessors, Dark Souls II is a very difficult game. It's challenging not only in terms of its combat or because of the unpredictability of the enemies it throws at you, but because of a handful of systems that have been woven into each other, gracefully, if not mercifully, to make this a difficult game to sit through.
And much like its predecessors, if you're willing to let it teach you, it can also become one of the most rewarding gaming experiences you'll ever have.
Unfortunately, its world may prove too harsh for some. This is a game that doesn't rely on the annoying hand-holding that so many other modern AAA games employ. Instead, it teaches its players to adapt, mostly through death, to overcome. Believe me, you will die, and you will die often. If that doesn't sound like something you'd like to endure, this might not be the game for you.
If you're patient, you'll soon realize that every seemingly malicious decision on the designers' part was made to make this game truly unforgettable.
There's a lot to love about Dark Souls II, from the systems that have been intricately tied into each other to the way it practically forces you to explore its world. With so many linear games inundating retail shelves everyday, it's nice to play one that wants you to shy away from the beaten path, for that's where its treasures lie. It's often the more dangerous path that reaps the greatest rewards.
If hidden loot doesn't serve as significant enough motivation for you, it's gorgeous world should do the trick. There's an impressive attention to detail that permeates every environment. The only thing that holds it back would be the technical limitations of the platforms. This series is beginning to show its age, and that fact isn't aided by the impressions made by the still very new next-gen consoles.
But visuals aren't everything, and I doubt you'll care about murky textures when a giant monster is trying its best to tear you apart. Death is something that has to be embraced in this series. I went through one controller–almost two–while I was working on my Demon's Souls review. It takes some getting used to, sure, but it's a part of the game. Everything wants to kill you, so it's up to you to make that as difficult a feat as possible.
Thankfully, there are tools in place to help, and most of them revolve around this game's incredibly innovative multiplayer. One of which is the clever ability to write messages that show up in other players' worlds. If there's a trap or a particularly tough fight ahead, you can let others know by scrawling it on the floor. These player-written warnings have saved my life more than a few times. A warning: not every player has good intentions. Some may fool other players with false messages. Be wary.
If you need something a bit more substantial than that, you can always call upon other players by summoning them into your world. If a boss refuses to die, getting a few friends to help take it down is almost always an option. Though, like every facet of this game, this too, comes with a darker purpose. If your world is open to aid, it's also open to invasion. If a malevolent player wants to take a break from their world to wreak havoc in yours, they can choose to temporarily invade another world with the singular goal of eliminating its player.
For fans of the series who are more interested in knowing what's been changed, Dark Souls 2 has seen a number of tweaks, all of which I'm happy to say have positive effects on the experience as a whole.
One fundamental difference is player health. In the previous game, if you were hurt, consuming an Estus Flask would remedy the situation. Now, Estus Flasks take a backseat to Lifegems, which gradually replenish your health. Estus Flasks are still in the game, and those too have seen tweaks. Now they can be improved by collecting shard fragments that increase the number of times they can heal with each use.
Humanity is no longer measured by a numeric rating. When your character dies, they become Hallowed. Each death from there on reduces the character's maximum health, with the maximum reduction resting at 50%. The only way to reverse this is by consuming a rare Human Effigy, which grants Humanity after being burned at a bonfire.
The classes have been refined, resulting in the removal of the Hunter, Pyromancer, Thief, and Wanderer. We're left with the Warrior, Knight, Swordsman, Bandit, Cleric, Sorcerer, Explorer, and Deprived — the basic, no-frills class. It's still a well-rounded cast, though as a former Pyromancer in Dark Souls, there is a fireball shaped hole in my heart this time around.
While there are likely to be "Dark Souls 1.5" jokes to be made about this entry, Dark Souls 2 does more than enough to warrant another trip to its twisted world. It takes everything the last two games did well and does all of it better. The controls, character customization, world, and enemies are more polished, deep, and thoughtful. This is a game that's about defeat as much as it is triumph, and it favors those who seek exploration, discovery, and horror, all of which can be found here in equal amounts.
The Final Word: Don't let its last-gen exclusivity fool you — Dark Souls II is a masterpiece. It's beautiful, horrifying, unforgiving, and is easily one of the most rewarding experiences I've had during my gaming career. Just make sure you know going in that this is going to hurt.

TLT has sealed a third partner hire for its new Manchester office by recruiting DLA Piper IP disputes specialist Graeme Orchison.
Orchison will start at the Bristol-based firm on an unconfirmed date after more than 17 years at DLA Piper, which he joined in 1996 from Manchester's Philip Conn & Co shortly after the collapse of the latter's 29-day merger with Donn & Co (9 March 1996).
He will become a partner at TLT, joining Manchester duo Stuart Campbell and Emma Flower, who were both brought in as partners to launch the base. Campbell, a commercial lawyer, also joined from DLA Piper's partnership in Manchester, while Flower was previously a legal director at Pinsent Masons.
TLT is aiming to expand the outpost to 20 to 30 people generating turnover of between £3m and £5m in its first 18 months (6 June 2013). The office is launching in Spinningfields this summer with with eight people including three partners and three assistants.
TLT managing partner David Pester said in a statement: "These strategic appointments support our aim to deepen our expertise and are in direct response to demand for services from some of our major clients based in the north of England. The launch of an office in Manchester supports our strategy to have a strong UK-wide presence from which to deliver services and also supports our industry sector focus."

To the Hills and Back
... at the knife store. Realizing we were getting tired, we had gone about 7 miles by now, we decided to stop for dinner at a tapas place we passed by. The restaurant was very artsy, the food good (no more) and the waiter a bit frenzied, to say the least. As a matter of fact, when he actually had an extra second he told us just how, "******* crazy" it had been, confirming our feelings about the number of people in Barcelona. Walking home, there were many more stores closed ...
My final days in Barcelona
... 160;After dinner, I swung through one of the many patisseries and picked up dessert to go, because I had to pack up my bag yet. The next morning I had to be out of the flat by 10:30 and my backpack is way to big, at this point to be lugging around all over Barcelona, so I decided to find a breakfast spot outside, eat, drink some coffee and finish my book. I found a great table outside and enjoyed a few hours there before I set off for the hotel. As ...

... local produce. We tried one of their specialities, a soft cheese (similar to ricotta) which they drizzle with honey. Very nice. Returned to Barcelona and had the afternoon free. We did some shopping and then walked to the Camp Nou (FC Barcelona) to check out the stadium. Was a long way in the heat. Craig was in awe at the size of the stadium. In the evening, we went to dinner and a Flamenco show. The music and the dance was ...
Master chefs and sleeping in boxes
... Catalan which is a mix of French and Spanish and even knowing a lot of Spanish was almost impossible to understand. In the end it was a relaxing couple of days but in the end we were happy to venture on to the south of France and to meet up with our friend Patricia. More on that to come hopefully sooner than later.
PS- the internet connection in Florence is basically nonexistent so more pictures will come ...

"I have to admit that I was a bit surprised when I opened the box to find 3.5 x 5" cards...but that was totally my fault for not accurately reading the listing. They are beautiful, classic and perfect to say thank you to family and friends...I love that the carde shows a picture of our special day and have a printed message inside as well as space to write a personal message!"
"I've ordered this card twice!. I used this card as a thank you for my baby shower gifts. I LOVE them. The card stock is of great quality, the colors are vivid, and I just think they are so cute. I will probably order them again when I run out."
"I love these note cards for my daughter! They are perfect for kiddos, playful yet chic in black and white with just a little gold. The drawn animals are super cute."

Gluten Free Recipe
Oatmeal on its own is quite healthy. Turn it into Oatmeal Breakfast Bars with dried fruit and other wholesome ingredients.
Recipe Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats, uncooked
1-1/2 cups oat flour*
1 cup (packed) currants, raisins, chopped prunes, or other dried fruit**
1 cup apple juice, or variations below
1/4 cup white or brown sugar (can be omitted, see variations below)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, more or less to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sesame seeds or small nut pieces
Recipe Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9 inch by 13 inch pan, or two 8 inch by 8 inch pans.
Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. It should be moist enough to form a ball, without extra liquid.
Put mixture in prepared pan(s) and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into squares while still hot. Wait until the bars cool before trying to remove them from the pan.
Recipe Variations
Replace apple juice with:
- Orange juice.
- A mixture of 1/4 cup molasses and 3/4 cup water.
- 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons dark rum or flavoring and enough water to make one cup.
Recipe Notes
If you want to up the molasses a bit, you can omit the sugar in the recipe.
*You can make oat flour by putting rolled oats into a blender or food processor and pulverizing them.
**If the fruit is hard, soak it with a bit of water before adding to the mixture. The fruit doesn't soften much in baking. With variation 3, you can use a bit of rum or other flavoring in the soaking water.

How can I improve my profile? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 3
How can you improve your profile?
Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation
Chin Agmentation
You do have a very recessed chin and that is detracting from your rhinoplasty result. Your chin is both horizontally short and vertically long. Your chin augmentation would be best done by a sliding genioplasty to bring your chin forward and make it a little vertically shorter at the same time.
Web reference: http://www.epplyplasticsurgery.com
Me 1 month post rhinoplasty and nose stands out. I think this is because off my receding chin but surgeon didn't mention it.
Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin is very weak. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.
I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.
I have performed and taught Rhinoplasty for over 30 years and evaluate the chin on every Rhinoplasty patient. Often the chin is augmented at the same time as the Rhinoplasty.
Hope this helps.

Fleeing Into the Night
There are several rules by which I lead my life. It seems pertinant to review them here.
First, go where the hot chicks are going. This is the principle by which 'Ladies Night' is a popular feature at bars and clubs.
She eyed me rather derisively, "Whatever it take to get you out the door. Now get your pants on."
"Fine, fine," and I fumbled into my jeans. My eyes kept going back and forth between her curves and that sword slung on her hip. She kept both eyes on me and one hand on the hilt.
That brings us to the second rule, avoid people who carry weapons, especially medeival ones as the person is more likely to be not only violent but weird and unpredictable.
"You say we're not safe here," I challenged while pulling on the dirty T-shirt and reaching for my sweater, "but how do I know I'll be safer out there with you?"
"You don't," she spat, then nailed me square in the chest with my shoes. I was about to ask the usual impertinant question about what would happen if I didn't, but she just glared and slid the sword out an inch or two.
This highlights the third rule, the weapon rule. There are a lot of variations, but it comes down to the person with the best weapon gets to make the rest of the rules. And so it was that I went fleeing into the night with a beautiful, mysterious, archaically armeed woman.
