New York, July 20 (ANI): The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is reportedly imparting beheading lessons to child recruits by asking them to behead dolls, in a bid to raise the next generation of fighters for the self-styled caliphate.
Over 120 boys, all abducted from Iraq's minority Yazidi community, are attending the training camps run by the terror outfit. They are first shown beheading videos and told that they would perform it someday. In order to practise the technique, each boy is given a doll and a sword and asked to cut its head off, reported Fox News.
A 14-year-old boy, who fled the training camp, said that trainers taught him how to hold the sword and how to hit, adding, "They told me it was the head of the infidels". He was renamed Yahya by his captors.
The ISIS is indoctrinating, re-educating dozens of young Yazidi boys, captured from northern Iraq, after forcing them to convert to Islam, as part of a concerted effort to build a new generation of militants.
The group is also believed to be recruiting teens and children using gifts, threats and brainwashing.
The ISIS claims to have hundreds of camps, where boys are turned into killers and suicide bombers.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that at least 1,100 Syrian children, who were under 16, had joined the terror outfit this year. (ANI)

The eGovernment movement is a good thing, and maybe too long in coming given how many years businesses have been taking advantage of technology to provide convenience and a higher quality of service to their customers. Constituent services have been available online for years, certainly, but only recently has the effort to modernize government been policy.
I am delighted to share with you our recently completed benchmark study that focuses on healthcare organizations and their ability to comply with new regulations. Of 77 participating covered entities and business associates, 27% percent have not started or are barely aware of what they need to do, 32% are waiting for more details, 14% have a plan but are waiting for more details, and 21% are just starting to act. This data was collected from June through October 2009. If you are affected by the HITECH Act, this benchmark study may be helpful to you.

Tropical Concoctions: Best Tiki Bars in America

Tiki Time
Tiki bars are back. The modern-day renditions honor the bars that paved the way — Don's Beachcomber Cafe and Trader Vic's — with the same escapist environment, juicy recipes and funky decor. Whether mixing a mai tai, daiquiri or rum punch, bartenders of these contemporary Polynesian watering holes are using top-tier ingredients and playful drinking vessels to capture the spirit of eternal tropics.

Lost Lake — Chicago
Modeled after the aesthetics of the original Don's Beachcomber Cafe, this Chicago getaway is helmed by Chicago cocktail aficionado Paul McGee. Tropical vibes fill the space with banana leaf wallpaper, bartenders in Hawaiian-themed garb, and drinks dressed with fresh orchids and funky swizzle sticks. The cocktails, with colorful names like Curative Vibrations and Ruby May's Second Surfin' Bird, pack a punch, so the restaurant group opened Thank You, an American-Chinese takeout window that will deliver straight to the bar to help soak up those sweet spirits.
Hale Pele — Portland, Ore.
Add a few theatrics to the tiki experience with a visit to this Portland bar, where ordering a flaming Volcano Bowl cocktail cues a few of the booths to rumble. There is also an occasional thunder-and-lightening experience that happens throughout the evening, not to mention the colorful puffer fish lights that dot the ceiling. But despite all that, it's the strong menu of drinks that keeps people coming back. Classics that pay homage to other famous tiki bars, and island-inspired small plates like Hawaiian bread and weebimbap, enhance the experience. Those worried about a few too many can order based on strength, thanks to a numbered legend by each drink.
Golden Tiki — Las Vegas
This tiki bar sticks to the classics when it comes to drinks and design, but the bar shows its true Vegas style with over-the-top accents, including a talking animatronic skeleton, a secret back door, video casino games, and a calendar packed with DJs and live entertainment. Also in typical fashion, the bar is open 24 hours a day, meaning it's tiki time anytime. The cocktails range from tried-and-true classics to creative selections like a classic Martinique Ti cocktail (rum, cane syrup, lime juice) made tableside. Barrel-aged and infused options are also available.
Three Dots and a Dash — Chicago
Named for a popular drink from Don the Beachcomber in the 1940s, this bar helped ignite Chicago's passion for all things tiki. The space is like escaping to an underground Polynesian haven: Walking down the stairs, guests are instantly transported to an upscale tiki hut decorated with hand-carved tiki totems, bamboo walls and Hawaiian-print-clad servers. In addition to the classic, modern and large-format drinks — many sparked with flames, oozing smoke or garnished with creative touches like a banana dolphin — the bar offers rotating specials, nearly all served in namesake vessels, like porcelain sea anemones or giant treasure chests. There's a concise menu of snacks like coconut shrimp as well.
Mother of Pearl — New York City
A bright and tropical escape in the heart of the East Village, this Manhattan tiki bar incorporates palm tree accents into most design elements. The cocktails borrow from classics in clever ways for drinks like the Tiki Peat, an almond-infused Scotch cocktail. Bring a group for punches. Food updates classic Polynesian, with an apple-sweet potato poke, edamame spring rolls and dessert steamed buns with coconut miso butter. Photo courtesy of Mother of Pearl
Go to: Mother of Pearl
Porco Lounge and Tiki Room — Cleveland
Tropical drinks and Polynesian vibes offer a welcome escape from the Midwest's brutal winters. Many of the decorative accents were salvaged from the bars of yesteryear, including outrigger canoes and a tiki statue from Cleveland's Kon Tiki (which closed in '76), as well as chairs from Detroit's Chin Tiki (which closed in '80). The drinks are equally classic and take no shortcuts. Bartenders schooled in each drink's history make the libations with fresh juices and housemade syrups for customers.

Smuggler's Cove — San Francisco
No pirate could rival the rum affections of Martin Cate. Boasting a collection of nearly 600 rums — many of them rare and vintage — Cate has turned his Fillmore bar into one of the best destinations for rum in the world. Fittingly, entering the bar feels like walking into a scene of a pirate's shipwreck, with dim lighting and nautical accents, including rope, wooden planks and barrels, throughout the intimate space. The menu is packed with more than 70 rum-filled concoctions, including the flaming Volcano and Scorpion bowls.

Archipelago — Washington, D.C.
Fruity drinks aren't all frills at this U Street tiki temple. The bar comes from a team of bartenders who've handled the drinks programs at some of the city's best spots, including Rose's Luxury, Bar Pilar and locations from Jose Andres' ThinkFoodGroup. Here, spirited hula-girl lamps and Tom Selleck memorabilia set the scene for island-inspired cocktails made from fresh-squeezed juices and quality rums. Drinks are served in kitsch vessels (all available for sale) like large blue parrots and shrunken green heads, garnished in creative fashion with classic orchids, orange suns, bendy straws and banana octopi. As for the drinks themselves, there's a frozen Pina Colada, a revamped Banana Daiquiri, a classic Mai Tai and originals like the Lonely Mermaid, a blend of rums, lemon and buttered pineapple syrup. The concise food menu includes sliders, Chinese-barbecue nachos and a Cubano.
Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 — New Orleans
If credit could be given to someone for helping to resurrect the tiki movement, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry would likely receive many nods. Berry has resurfaced many "lost" tiki drink recipes, created a tiki app and, most recently, opened one of New Orleans' hottest bars, naturally one that specializes in tiki drinks. The menu features many of the unearthed recipes, including the blended cinnamon-rum Nui Nui, along with Berry's own takes on the classics; there's also a menu of playful cuisine, including a dumpling burger, a mahi mahi banh mi and chocolate-dipped wontons.

False Idol — San Diego
Tucked within Craft & Commerce, this hidden tiki getaway, slated to open in 2016, has drawn from the best of tiki: the expertise of Martin Cate, the design of renowned tiki artist Bosko Hrnjak and the large tiki following of San Diego (the city home to the largest tiki festival, Tiki Oasis). Drinks will run the gamut from classics to originals, including the Coronado Luau special, made with aged pot still rum, aged column still rum, VSOP Armagnac, Grand Marnier, orgeat, and fresh orange and lemon juices.
Foundation — Milwaukee
When Milwaukeeans want a mai tai, they head for this tiny, kitsch-packed tropical oasis, where the classic orgeat-rum-juice concoction is the house specialty. The shelves are packed with an inspiring amount of nautical bounty, including scavenged shells, nets and an aquarium of fish. Many of the drinks — Pirate's Grog, Polynesian — are served in funky tiki-style glasses that can be taken home at the end of the night. Food isn't served in the bar, but guests can order in from elsewhere. Owner Don Nelson does an excellent job of planting a taste of the tropics in the Midwest, saying it's his job to "bring the traditions of Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic to the people of Milwaukee."
Tiki Ti — Los Angeles
This half-century-old tiki bar has been passed down through one family since 1961. Ray Buhen was known as one of the greatest exotic-drink mixologists at Don the Beachcomber's Cafe and elsewhere before opening Tiki Ti, which is now run by his son and grandson. One of the last standing tiki bars from back in the day, this bar is the place to sample sippers that taste almost identical to the originals. Sip on a Zombie — made with a secret combination of rums — while perusing the plethora of tropical tchotchkes from visitors throughout the years.

How secure is the current practice in virtualisation?
Virtualisation technology makes best use of available processor and memory resources which is often done by server consolidation - running multiple virtual machines on a single physical host, writes Vernon Poole, head of business consultancy for Sapphire Technologies and member of ISACA's Information Security Management Committee.
Jargon-buster guide to GDPR
The 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.

You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Each virtual machine operates almost as though it were a discrete physical host. This is achieved with a piece of software known as a hypervisor. The hypervisor is responsible for managing memory and CPU resources between the running virtual machines (also known as guest machines), providing a set of virtual hardware resources (such as display controllers, network interfaces, storage devices etc.) to guest hosts and providing a control channel between the system operator and the guest machines.
For each system, a virtualised environment contains three extra 'layers' that may be attacked - physical host hardware, physical host OS and the hypervisor. If any of these are compromised then all virtualised guest hosts on the physical system are compromised also as the attacker can then manipulate all aspects of guest hosts at will. Therefore the physical and hypervisor layers should be closely guarded against unauthorised access.
Aside from attacks via the hypervisor, guest hosts are as vulnerable to direct attack as they would be as conventional physical systems. However, once a guest host is compromised, it is then possible to attack the hypervisor layer from the guest.
As indicated, there is an element of communication between the hypervisor and the guest systems. This is made up of special communication channels, which allow client tools to communicate system state back to or accept instructions from the management tool for the hypervisor and the operation of the various virtual hardware devices.
Bugs or back-doors in any of these components could be used to compromise the hypervisor or other guests running on the same hypervisor. Several such bugs have been discovered and demonstrated in existing virtualisation software packages.
Virtualisation significantly weakens the security boundaries between objects in the same virtual domain.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Wells Fargo Dealer ServicesPhoenix, AZ greater Phoenix area, Arizona United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Wells Fargo Dealer Services (WFDS) applied an insurance charge to our car loan. When we asked why, they said that their records showed that we had a lapse in insurance. We did not, and contacted our agent, and repeatedly faxed and emailed (pdf) copies to show that there was no lapse in coverage. After talking to numerous WFDS reps, we finally had someone say, that we were right, she was sorry, and that she would take off the charges and all would be well.
Later that month, we payed our car payment, on-time. However, unbeknownst to us, the insurance fee was never removed, and instead of our car payment going to or car loan, it was used to pay the insurance. We later received numerous phone calls from a variety of WFDS people, all of which had extensions that they could not be reached at, informing us that we were late on our car payment.
So we went through the whole process again of proving that we had insurance, that they payment that was just made was supposed to be for the car payment and not insurance that we didn't need or want. (Funny enough, during one phone call, while on the phone with my wife, a different rep called me to talk about the same thing. We have since learned that they DO NOT put notes onto your account like they say, and often enough, the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing.) After many days of phone tag, different reps, not being transferred to managers, we finally got someone on the phone on a Tuesday that said, "You're right" and said that she would take care of it and apply the payment to our car payment and fix the insurance debacle.
That following Sunday, as my wife and I and our four children are walking out the door to church, the repo man shows up. He was very gracious, and explained that if we didn't release the car to him, he would call the sheriffs department, he would still get the car, and we would be facing legal fees for the sheriffs dept as well. He let me take my kids to church and clean out the minivan, showed me the paper work, and gave me his card. Not bad for a repo guy.
We promptly call WFDS on Monday, and they showed no record of repossessing our car. The rep assured us he would look into it and call us the next day. He called on Wednesday (no one had answers on Tuesday either, and he couldn't be reached at his extension), and told us that his department no longer handles our account, and gave us the "repossession" department. No one answered or returned our calls there. On Friday, we got a hold of someone in the "repo" department, who told us that we had to fill out some paperwork authorizing us to talk over the phone about the account. They mailed us the paperwork, we filled it out and mailed it back priority.
They then said they couldn't do anything about the charges and that it is what it is, and that we would be receiving information in the mail. We received more paperwork on a Wednesday stating that we owed $5500 by Friday to them by money order only (and whatever fees the repo yard charged) or the car would be sold at auction and we would owe the difference. I'm a school teacher, I don't have that kind of money just lying around for emergencies like this.
We owed less than $5500 on the van before they repo'd it. We told them to keep the van, and we'd see them in court if they wanted to pursue it. Consequently, our insurance agent called us a few weeks later saying a claim had been made on our van by WFDS and that apparently, when they repo'd it, they did some significant damage to it and wanted our insurance company to pay for it. We said no. I'm sure now they won't get any money for it at auction, and they will fight me for the rest of what we owe.
I tried on numerous occasions to pay it off in full. They wouldn't let me, or would charge me such huge processing fees that I just couldn't justify it. I signed an agreement and intended to payoff the car, but what they did was criminal and has left my family in the lurch and I don't feel that I owe them anything.
Can anyone help me please?

#2 Consumer Suggestion
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 28, 2010POSTED: Tuesday, December 28, 2010
This is exactly why people need to understand to STAY OFF THE PHONE!!! Phone calls do not protect your rights under the law, and if you ever go to court on this, you will have no proof. I know we all get busy and "don't have the time" to write letters, etc. But you have now learned that you need to find the time!
CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECIEPT REQUESTED is the ONLY way to communicate in any financial or legal dispute. Always put the certified # in the body of the letter and keep a copy for your records, as this proves exactly what you sent Back up those mailed letters with NUMEROUS faxes to every fax # you can find for them.
Same with email. Saturate it. Make sure that you are the first priority every morning. I'm sure you do have a good case here for your losses due to their NEGLIGENCE, but you will have to get a lawyer and bring this action at your own expense.
I would do whatever it takes to clear this up as it will have a serious impact on your credit reports, and they can also come after you for a deficiency judgement on the sale of the vehicle.
Don't let this go, as I can assure you it is not over with. Your nightmare has not even begun yet. Guaranteed.
Get a lawyer right away. Whatever it takes.

Owner info
About the owner: Paul & I inherited this beautiful home a few of years ago. We completely renovated the kitchen with granite countertops and added many touches to make it a cooks kitchen. About five years ago we purchased my Aunt and Uncle's Pine Cone Cabin, next to ours on Green Lake, and began our seasonal rental business. As yet there is only a few reviews for Hodgkins' House but there lots for Pine Cone Cabin, if you would care to see more reviews. We worked like beavers tearing it down to the outside walls and rebuilding it. I than had the fun of decorating it with things from the LL Bean outlet in Ellsworth. We have been so blessed with having wonderful renters .that we decided to rent Hodgkin' House as a weekly or monthly summer rental.
Why the Owner Chose Lamoine, ME, USA:
It's a beautiful place to hold your special event, weddings, reunions, and get togethers, with manicured lawns and plenty of off road parking.

Chapter Ten
"Smith is notoriously hot-tempered, but the sight of some nondescript and miry creature sitting cross-legged amongst a lot of loose straw, and swinging itself to and fro like a bear in a cage, made him pause. Then this tramp stood up silently before him, one mass of mud and filth from head to foot. Smith, alone amongst his stacks with this apparition, in the stormy twilight ringing with the infuriated barking of the dog, felt the dread of an inexplicable strangeness. But when that being, parting with his black hands the long matted locks that hung before his face, as you part the two halves of a curtain, looked out at him with glistening, wild, black-and-white eyes, the weirdness of this silent encounter fairly staggered him. He had admitted since (for the story has been a legitimate subject of conversation about here for years) that he made more than one step backwards. Then a sudden burst of rapid, senseless speech persuaded him at once that he had to do with an escaped lunatic. In fact, that impression never wore off completely. Smith has not in his heart given up his secret conviction of the man's essential insanity to this very day.
"As the creature approached him, jabbering in a most discomposing manner, Smith (unaware that he was being addressed as 'gracious lord,' and adjured in God's name to afford food and shelter) kept on speaking firmly but gently to it, and retreating all the time into the other yard. At last, watching his chance, by a sudden charge he bundled him headlong into the wood-lodge, and instantly shot the bolt. Thereupon he wiped his brow, though the day was cold. He had done his duty to the community by shutting up a wandering and probably dangerous maniac. Smith isn't a hard man at all, but he had room in his brain only for that one idea of lunacy. He was not imaginative enough to ask himself whether the man might not be perishing with cold and hunger. Meantime, at first, the maniac made a great deal of noise in the lodge. Mrs. Smith was screaming upstairs, where she had locked herself in her bedroom; but Lily White sobbed piteously at the kitchen door, wringing her hands and muttering, 'Don't! don't!' I daresay Smith had a rough time of it that evening with one noise and another, and this insane, disturbing voice crying obstinately through the door only added to his irritation. He couldn't possibly have connected this troublesome lunatic with the sinking of a ship in Eastbay, of which there had been a rumor in the Darnford market-place. And I daresay the man inside had been very near to insanity on that night. Before his excitement collapsed and he became unconscious he was throwing himself violently about in the dark, rolling on some dirty sacks, and biting his fists with rage, cold, hunger, amazement, and despair.

You've been searching high and low for a porn network that caters to your very specific tastes (or at least comes close) and now, faced with a My XXX Pass membership, your search could very nearly be at an end. Loaded with more blowjobbery than those mythical teenage "rainbow parties" and more live, unscripted, and totally wild sex from the sound-stages of Porno Dan's Immoral studios, My XXX Pass offers HD viewing, near-daily updates, and an extensive catalog of exclusive and licensed content that, once seen, won't soon be forgotten.
Women are undoubtedly one of the most consistent sources of joy in the lives of those that admire them, so it's only natural there should be an adult erotica site entitled FemJoy. Home to a large and daiiy-updated collection of naturalistic outdoor shoots and more intimate indoor encounters, FemJoy is a fantastic celebration of all that makes women (in this case, specifically young Central and Eastern European women) bring such joy to our lives and libidos.
Unless you've been down there yourself with a razor and some shaving cream, don't take cleanly shaven pubic regions for granted. Even with an entire model roster of hairless pussies, ALS Scan doesn't take 'em for granted, seizing the opportunity to show off its marvelous young models, their burgeoning sexualities, and, of course, their pristine pube-free pussies in brilliant 1080p HD and now 4K Ultra-HD movies! Fingering themselves, using toys and tools, with girlfriends and guyfriends, these hot young models are eager to prove their sexual worth in the barest, most naked possible way, only at ALS Scan.
Hosting the refined erotic photography of the late J. Stephen Hicks and company, Digital Desire is an attempt to dazzle the visual senses and the imagination both. Casting today's top adult models in sensually charged nude photoshoots and videos that often drift into masturbation (and occasionally opt for actual sex), the HD visual splendor of Digital Desire continues to prove both influential and deeply arousing. Facing a new era, Digital Desire shows no signs of giving up its very worthwhile cause: truly erotic adult visuals.
Bang Bros: it's a network so well known that it's basically become one of the very few household names produced by porn. Bang Bros: its 53 websites, each one exclusive, serve up everything from anal creampies to casting couch cum-guzzlers, outdoor threesomes to intimate indoor lesbianism. Sporting 1080p HD movies and high-res photo galleries that are among the best at capturing the curviest and comeliest babes in porn, Bang Bros just keeps getting better and better, hotter and hotter, wetter and wetter. Bang it out Bro!
Reality Kings might not represent any reality you know, but it'll sure get kick your imagination into overdrive, turning every insignificant meeting or flirtatious glance into a CFNM fucking session, an impromptu blowjob in a barely concealed alleyway, or anal sex on a modest yacht in Brazil. Home to more than forty exclusive hardcore sites dealing in very different, very inventive porno realms, the affordable and HD-equipped Reality Kings is calling you in for a much, much closer look.
You're already quite familiar with your own masturbation techniques and practices but what about the women in whose honor you've unleashed torrent after torrent of pent-up fluids, how do they get themselves off when nobody else can do it? At 1 By Day, Denys Defrancesco casts a bevy of stunning erotic performers to show his loyal viewers just how they brings themselves to the heights of self-administered pleasure. In Ultra-HD video showcases and super-high-res photo galleries, Defrancesco and his DDF crew make sure every day is a scorching one at 1 By Day.
Hands On Hardcore is the most direct and explicit of Denys Defrancesco's many DDF efforts, delivering an intense cornucopia of sexual extravagance and indulgence. Showcased beautifully by Defrancesco's High Definition and now Ultra-High Definition cameras, European and American pornstars lend their considerable talents to Hands On Hardcore, shooting glam-tinged sex as wild as it is visually slick and as adventurous sexually as it is popular among online porno viewers. Hands On Hardcore delivers hardcore excellence.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
The National Assessment of Educational Progress reveals that 37% of U.S. fourth graders fail to achieve basic levels of reading achievement. The incidence of reading failure is even higher within low-income families, ethnic minority groups, and English-language learners. In the Greater Los Angeles area alone, 53% of working-age adults cannot read well enough to comprehend a bus schedule or fill out a job application.
The first step in solving the illiteracy problem is ensuring that individuals have access to books. And that's where BookEnds comes in. To date, we have given away more than 2.7 million books. Annually, more than 20,000 students volunteer for BookEnds by organizing BookEnds BookDrives in their schools. Annually more than 150,000 books get recycled from home libraries directly into the hands of students in schools and to youth organizations in desperate need of books.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
BookEnds BookDrives
Annually, more than 20,000 students volunteer for BookEnds to donate approximately 210,000 books to nearly 43,000 at-risk students. Along the way, students discover their own power to change lives through community service, give unused books new life, create libraries and cross neighborhood boundaries all through sharing a book. Most of our book recipients are school children who qualify for Title I programs due to family poverty. Others include children we meet through youth-serving organizations who also need books to foster literacy, such as programs that help abused children or homeless youth.

BookEnds donated its One Millionth Book in February 2006.

Funding Needs
BookEnds is a simple and economical solution to providing children with the essential literacy tool of books. Powered by our kids and leveraged by a simple business model, every $1 donated to BookEnds results in $5 worth of books for children. Annually more than 20,000 students volunteer for BookEnds. This community wide effort is lead by a terrifically lean staff of two program managers who train student teams at each of our donor organizations to leverage their leadership into impact. General support dollars are dedicated to paying the salaries of four full time staff members and the general operating costs associated with the operation of a well-run organization.

Ms. Robin M. Keefe
Robin M. Keefe is the founder and President of BookEnds. As an acclaimed entrepreneurial philanthropist, Robin propelled the simple idea of her eight year old son into an effective solution to provide the essential resource of books for our neediest students to learn to read. She often says that Brandon's gift to Hollygrove created the seed for BookEnds and created the bounty for her life. She is grateful and appreciative to have the opportunity to improve our community through BookEnds. Since1998, through Robin's leadership more than one half million children have learned the power of community service through the donation of 2.6 million books to 300,000 Los Angeles students.
As a community leader, Robin inspired effective partnerships with corporate leaders such as American Express, Amgen, Boeing, JP Morgan Chase, Nestle and Verizon to focus their resources on providing books for the most educationally underserved students. Robin is a community builder, creating innovative partnerships with diverse organizations such as the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Unified School District, Target, UCLA, Pepperdine University and Los Angeles Rotary Clubs to unite the community's finite resources to fight for literacy development. Among her numerous honors are the Freeman Freeman and Smiley Vision in Philanthropy Award for Entrepreneurial Philanthropy, the Media One Spine Award for "having the backbone to champion a great idea," the 2006 Los Angeles Children's Planning Commission "Leading Boldly Award," and the November 2006 Woman's Day Award for "Woman Who Inspire Us."
Robin is a proud Rotarian, a past member of the Los Angeles Organization of Women Executives and a teacher of nonprofit management at Pepperdine University. She graduated from California State University Northridge with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, Finance.

It offers advice on topics such as chivalry, forecourt manners and passenger etiquette. This includes tips such as keeping conversation light in order to avoid in-car arguments and choosing music that meets passengers' approval. Examples of acceptable behaviour include men never making cliched jokes about female drivers and women avoiding spraying perfume inside the car.

John McCain may be the object of scorn among the denizens of the internet for his self-professed computer illiteracy — but it's his campaign that's probably having the last laugh Tuesday, after launching a brilliant new fundraising drive online.
The campaign unveiled two versions of a new online ad that's a nearly three-minute video mash-up. It pulls together footage that documents the media's professed adoration of Barack Obama and presents a couple of versions that are played against a backdrop of two different tunes. (I'm not sure who the artists or what the names of the tunes are: Can anyone out there help me out?)
Viewers at McCain's site are then asked to vote on their favorite, then prompted to donate to the campaign.
McCain's known for his humor, and in the wake of yesterday's news of The New York Times' rejection of his rebuttal to Obama's Iraq war op-ed, the timing of this new ad seems apt. The new online ad campaign exploits the combined elements of music, humor, sarcasm and a news event to drive attention, traffic — and potential donors — to its site online. Very clever.

Our grant program, named in memory of teacher and Foundation board member Phyllis Gripp, accepts applications twice a year, on October 15th and again on February 15th. This program has always been the backbone of the Foundation's work and has been a dynamic force in bringing equipment, innovation, and new opportunities to the District 39 curriculum. Since its inception, the Foundation is proud to have given nearly $810,000 in direct grants to District 39 Public School educators and to other organizations such as the Wilmette Public Library, the Wilmette Historical Society, Parents Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse, and the Wilmette Community Relations Commission. The District 39 Educational Foundation sponsors complimentary cultural arts events for the community through our Sam Mikaelian Fine Arts Fund. This special endowment was created in 1998 in honor of the retiring superintendent's 31 years of exceptional service to the District. In 2002, our featured artistic performers were Gus Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago and in 2004, the community was entertained by four stage actors singing and dancing popular Broadway tunes in Broadway Ballyhoo. Our 2006 event featured the Holy Goat Ensemble and the Jubilate Children?s choir presenting the music of West Africa. In connection with both of these community performances, the Foundation sponsored related in-school performances and/or workshops.

Invariably one of the first things that I get asked whenever anyone sees me without a shirt is just how the hell did my arm get so scarred. I tell people a variety of explanations, ranging from a monkey knife fight through to the truth, so once and for all here's what happened. It took me years to figure out what exactly happened back in early 1975, and even then I've never really discovered what did occur, other than I was involved in a serious car accident that nearly took my life. It was probably my second serious brush with death (the first being an allergic reaction to an insect bite at a very young age) but not my last. As such I've always felt that I've been living on slightly borrowed time, which goes a way to explaining some of the more insane things that I tend to do from time to time - I want to see what happens.
The accident itself wasn't planned, but the trip was. At the time my old man was working on a pie-line somewhere in New South Wales and, although we didn't know it at the time, he was also in the early stages of establishing a new family for himself - one that he wanted us to be part of, but luckily for us my mother saw right through his bullshit, but that came later. We had an old 1964 Ford station wagon (I think it was the '64 model) and it was built like a tank. I say old, but at the time it was only nine years old, so it was fairly modern. It was aqua and since then no-one in my family has ever owned a blue car. The old man had taken some time off and asked my mum to take my brothers and myself up to see him and go on holidays - we were all for it. So into the car we crammed - my mother and four screaming kids ranging in age from nearly eight (me) through to nearly fourteen. Great combination eh? Armed with packets of barley sugar and Mrs Mills Party Parade tapes (long story, but my family has always had a perverse sense of humour, even back in the mid '70s, and Mrs Mills figured into it. I don't think any of us particularly liked Mrs Mills but we'd give each other a load of shit about it and have the tapes going to sheer laugh value - long trips, go figure. Each trip we took somehow Mrs Mills tapes magically appeared from God knows where - no-one would confess to packing them, but there they were...don't look at me though *cough cough '76*) off we went.
We stayed in a series of Flag Inn hotels on the way and met up with the old man in a town that was so small that if you blinked you'd miss it. Seriously. It consisted of a bar, a post office, a general store, a police station, a train station and a hospital, all in the one building. I went past it back in 2001 and was amazed to see that the town had doubled in size. My old man was propping up the bar section of the building, as per usual.
From there we went to a shack in Bundeena. It was a lovely place and I've always wanted to go back there just for a look around. We stayed there for about a week (it seemed like a year to me) and it was there that I met my uncle Bobby on my father's side. Well, he wasn't an uncle, he was a cousin of sorts and a damn nice guy. He took us fishing one night and amazingly enough Bobby would cast a line out, complain that the fish weren't biting and give me the rod. Incredible! I was on fire and catching several flat-heads that none of the brothers could catch. Years later I caught up with Bobby and asked him if he was catching the fish and just handing the rod to me, but nope, he insisted that I caught them fair and square. Bobby was a good guy and I do miss him. Other memories...my brother Barry trying to steal a canoe only to put an oar through it, which we covered up with leaves. The shack being so small that when my father would fart the walls would shake. Going to the Royal Easter Show and seeing Wollongong The Brave (my dad, the bloody prude walked out due to the 'bad language', but then this was a guy who walked out on Blazing Saddles because we laughed too loudly - my old man didn't have much humour). It was a good trip.
On the way back we stopped into my Nana's house and catch up with people there. It was there that my mother was given some news that I won't share, but according to her it did distract her and offers up an explanation for what happened the next day. I tend to believe she's looking for an excuse when she doesn't need to. What happened wasn't her fault at all.
Backtrack - before we left the old man had insisted on the car being fitted with brand new tyres, so we had new feet for the machine. Important that.
The first night we stopped and dropped the old man off in West Wyalong. What we didn't know is that's where his 'new' family lived. The bastard. Nice town though, full of hicks but pleasant enough. The next day we set out for home.
We reached Balranald where my mother decided to push on for Mildura. It's a decision that has haunted her ever since (and one I nearly repeated. In 1999 I was driving back to Adelaide and reached the same town in the same state of mind and thought, "I'll just push on, it's only another 60 or so miles." Suddenly I had a flash back and promptly pulled into the first caravan park I saw and rented a cabin and had a good night's sleep). On we went. I remember it was being a stinking hot day and it was late afternoon.
About halfway to Mildura it happened. The front right hand tyre blew as mum was pushing down the road in excess of 80 miles per hour (her estimate, old speedo). The bang was loud and the car instantly started to violently swerve from side to side. My mother - and this has always amazed me - actually held the bastard on the road and wrestled for control. This car was a frigging tank, loaded to the roof with luggage and four screaming kids virtually shitting themselves with panic. In desperation my mum remembered what she'd been taught - when the wheel blows out NEVER touch the brakes. The car was an automatic, so gearing down was out of the question. She weighed up her options and figured that she'd be best served by putting the car into an open paddock, taking her feet off the pedals and allowing the car to wind itself down, thus leaving us with the problem of getting the car out of the paddock later. All's good - and she worked this out in about three seconds mind you. So she gave the wheel a heave and pointed it towards a fence.
What she didn't see, what no-one could have seen (you can't see it in the photos) was that the grass, in places about three foot high, neatly hid a drainage ditch about two foot deep. Once the car hit that it was all over. I remember the screams, I remember the car rolling (in 1997 I undertook hypnotherapy in an effort to discover what happened, and also to stop the nightmares. I got partial closure on the first, the second never stopped), I remember the dirt and the last thing I remember is my head hitting the roof - no seat belts in those days. After that it's black.
I woke up to the sounds of my mother calling for me. She'd gotten out and was doing a head count, I was the only one missing. I was lying in the grass, feeling numb, so I put my feet up only to burn them on the exhaust pipe. Then I yelled. I then tried to get free only to find that the rear right wheel was sitting on my right arm trapping me. Right then the pain hit and it was unbearable. I knew I was in a lot of trouble. My mother tried to yank me free, to no avail. It only made things worse. My brothers, dazed and screwed, were of no use, so mum raced up onto the road and started to flag cars down. Some stopped, one Volkswagen Kombi van sped up and made some miles to Mildura to get help (although we didn't know it at the time).
Five guys were trying to lift the car (now emptied of it's load) and only succeeded in rocking the prick of a thing on my arm. It hurt like you'd not believe and I know it's why I have a high tolerance for pain now. Finally a truck turned up and two truckies got out, wandered down and asked just what the fuck, excuse me lady, was going on. They waved the five guys away and I kid you not lifted the car up high, I was dragged out (by some well meaning woman who pulled my right arm - the trapped arm. Thanks for that, it just made it hurt more). The two truckies offered to hold the car there in the air so we could get some more stuff out from under it. Job done they got back into the rig, radioed ahead for help and told us that police and ambulances were on their way (indeed we could hear the sirens). I have no idea who they were, but wherever they are - you have my eternal thanks. With that off they went.
The first person to turn up was the photographer for the Mildura newspaper - of course! Ahhhh the media, you can always depend on them. The ambulance turned up very shortly after with the Kombi man in hot pursuit. He'd gone to the first phone and called everyone that we needed and then turned around to see what more assitance he could lend - what a guy. He then loaded all our luggage, and my dazed brothers, into his Kombi, took them into Mildura, booked them into a hotel, made sure they were settled and off he went. Again we never got a name, but guy, my family owes you big time! That kind of thing probably wouldn't happen these days.
My arm was a mess. I was taken into Mildura Base Hospital and seen by a Doctor Butcher (seriously! That was his name - classic!) where my arm was stitched up and assessed. No breaks, loads of friction burns and cuts, including one at my bicep that was cut clear to the bone. I remember Dr Butcher telling me that scar would make me popular with the ladies when I was older. I didn't care, I just wanted the pain to stop. Eventually the drugs kicked in and the pain did stop...
It took the police three days to track down my old man. Why? He thought they were after him for drunk driving so he kept lying when he'd get pulled over and questioned. Finally they told him that there'd been an accident and that his family were in Mildura hospital. He promptly abused the cops for not telling him sooner (his story, not mine) and made his way to us. After a few days they sent us all home, battered and bruised.
I still carry those scars today. My right arm is a mish-mash of scar tissue and Dr Butcher was right - one girl I met told me that those scars just did it for her. I was two inches away from having my head crushed. I should have died back then but didn't. My mother, with some of the most incredible driving I've ever seen, kept me alive and made a bad accident as good as could be expected. We all lived.
These shots were all taken by the photographer. Apparently we made the headlines for that day, so eventually I'll spend a day back in Mildura hunting it down in their libraries. If anyone has the resources to locate it for me then be my guest. I'll love ya long time.
This first shot shows my brother Barry looking at the camera (white shirt). That the car was only that messed up speaks volumes for the durability of the old Ford.
This shot shows one of the ambulance officers working on me as I lay in the dirt and dry grass. I love the guy standing there having a smoke - the ground was filled with petrol from the car's tanks leaking by the way. You can see my mother partially obscured by my oldest brother Ronald - the lady standing shielding her eyes was the one who pulled me out by the wounded wing.
See the distance from the car that the windscreen ended up? It was a fairly violent impact. Here both ambulance officers are working on my while the aforementioned lady speaks to my mother and my brothers. I have no idea who the blonde guy is, he ain't one of ours, and I think he might have been the Kombi man.
This is the most dramatic shot for me. It shows me being carried up to the waiting ambulance. You can get an idea of the extent of my injuries just by looking at my body. My mother can't look, but in her defence I doubt I'd have been able to look either, and as she came with me in the ambulance I think she was getting her handbag and getting the brothers to start locating luggage.
This is the car in the wreckers yard after the crash. It's the only colour shot I have of it. The car was a total write off and I think they paid my mum about $100 for the shell of it.
I'd like to have pumped a few shells into it as well. To this day I'm not fond of people who like driving fast and losing control of cars while I'm in them. I get uncomfortable on dirt roads, unless I'm the driver and in control. And I'd put my mother's driving skills up against anyone, anytime. After all I lived. We all lived and that was down to her making the right choice at the right time and only being tripped up by the unknown. As they say, any accident you can walk away from is a good accident.
In 2001 my mother and myself drove to Queensland. We went past the place where the accident had happened and we finally spoke about it openly. She started to cry when I told her that I owe my life to her driving and that out of anyone and everyone I've ever driven with, I doubt anyone of them could have done better. And that includes some professional racing car drivers. I know I couldn't have worked out, that quickly and calmly, what to do in such a situation and then applied it. My ma saved us all, 'nuff said!

|Durable subscriptions
|Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:32:06 GMT
Hi everyone, i was playing with durable subscriptions and observed a behavior that seems strange to me. I configured ActiveMQ with <fixedSizedSubscriptionRecoveryPolicy maximumSize="32768" /> for every topic, and then created a durable subscriber for topic "test" with a unique client-id and subscription name. Using a producer i sent 3 messages to the "test" topic and by using web console i was able to see that there were enqueued message for the durable subscription, waiting to be delivered. By using a durable consumer i was able to retrieve all of the 3 messages, acking them, and then disconnected the client. I then retried to log on the broker with the same durable subscription and surprising i received those 3 messages again. i tried to look at JMS specifications but nothing it's unspecified. so: Is this the normal behavior? i was expecting to not receive those messages again since i got them, and acknowledged them. shouldn't them be removed from the state when they are correctly delivered? regards, Yari

Hurts Like Heaven - KrisseyCrystal
My knees smack against the floor;
With trepidation, I cross the shore
I make a grab for my chest.
And once I breach the crest--
Oh, how it hurts!
--This pain--my girth!
I can't breathe, I can't think--
Under such pressure, how I shrink!
--Unworthy, unworthy, I lack so much!
A soul, a purpose--Lord, I need to be touched!
This realization, this cold terror,
How I'm lost without a Savior--
How far from Grace I've fallen,
Give me love--I have none!
This pain of Separation
This--this hurts like heaven
And drowning under the guilt,
Scrambling, scratching, my lungs begin to melt--
--once You come, I finally find relief.
Because I've found myself back at Your feet.

Hangovers are your body's way of punishing you for a night that was just a bit too much fun. They range from general malaise to a brutal, body crushing agony complete with violent stomach aches. For some it can take a few hours to a few days to get over one, and each time will make you swear you're never drinking like that again. But what causes a hangover?
A hangover happens because your body has become dehydrated and depleted of vitamins necessary to function. Large amounts of water are necessary to help the body filter out alcohol, and unless you're drinking it during the night, your body will make you pay for it in the morning. While the best cure for a hangover is to not overindulge in alcohol, there are ways to help cure it when you do.
10. Hair of the Dog That Bit You
Other than sleep, it is perhaps the oldest, if not the wisest, of hangover cures. A little drink can help stave off the inevitable hangover when you get up. This is not recommended of course, but if you're already home for the day and don't mind that you're going to feel far worse later, go ahead and have another beer as a wake up drink
9. Water
Water replenishes the body after a night of drinking and can help to alleviate headaches and hangovers. While you're drinking at night, drink water between drinks. this will help lessen the hangover the next day. Waking up and hitting the water can get things moving again.
8. Sports Drinks
Like water, sports drinks replenish the body after being dehydrated. Sports drinks work by adding electrolytes and salt back to the body after a night of drinking. Drinking them before sleeping can help reduce the hangover in the morning but if that's not possible, they can help once you do wake up.
7. Pain Medicines
While these should never be taken while drinking because of the risk of liver damage, over the counter pain medicines can help ease the headaches that come with hangovers. Some of these pain medicines may contain caffeine, and can help you be more alert.
6. Take a Hike
Or a walk, or hit the gym. A good hard sweat can really help shake off a hangover. This is not always the nicest option if you really feel miserable, but exercise can help you to sweat off the damage done the night before. The bonus to this cure is that you'll be drinking a lot of water or sports drinks with it and that can really help you get through the hangover.
5. Vitamins
Like water and sports drinks, taking vitamins helps replenish what you stripped from your body by drinking. High doses of vitamins such as powdered "pick me up" formulas offer a quick shot of vitamins to get your body functioning again. These should not be used regularly at high doses as it can cause long term liver or kidney damage but for a quick hangover cure, B6 and B12 supplements can really help.
4. Food
If you're fighting nausea, food definitely won't seem like the best cure for a hangover but if you went to bed on an empty stomach it can definitely help. Even simple saltine crackers can help ease the nausea of a hangover. Why food helps is based on a simple fact – if you drank all night and didn't eat anything your blood sugar will drop, giving you one mean headache in the morning. If nausea isn't a factor, a proper meal can help to cure a hangover.
3. Caffeine
This one is a mixed bag. Caffeine can artificially help wake you up and get you moving but it is a diuretic and will make you more dehydrated in the long run. Caffeine can help with the headache to an extent but it should be used as a step on the way to replenishing lost fluids with water or sports drinks
2. Ginger
Not the redhead – good old ginger root. Ginger can help quell nausea and make you feel better. It can be brewed as tea, assuming you can stand up long enough. If standing isn't possible, ginger ale works as well.
1. Sleep
You don't want to just sleep in to cure your hangover – you'll need to eat and drink before you roll back over. Even a glass of water and some toast before going back to sleep can help!

A Brush With Fashion
There's never been a more fitting name than "Fashion's Living Canvas." It's a runway show in which the models literally become the canvas for one look as artist Sharon Hodges paints her interpretation of the designers' creations onto the models' bodies. I know what you're thinking and yes, Hodges will save a ton on paint since these gals typically split Tic Tacs for dinner. I kid, of course, they probably eat Cheez-Its and Crunch Berries like the rest of us. Aside from the body paint spectacular, the show will be true to form featuring six Texas designers and a 200-foot catwalk at the Hilton Anatole's Atrium II, 2201 Stemmons Freeway. The event is open to the public and admission is free for standing room only. General admission seating is $20 and VIP seating is $150 with proceeds benefiting The Fashionistas student scholarship fund. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts promptly at 8:30 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, sashay on over to fashionslivingcanvas.eventbrite.com.

Oak Hill Cemetery: September 7, 2016 Public Hearing at Town of Clarkstown
2016 Road Work Schedule
The Village of Nyack will begin its 2016 repaving and maintenance work early this season. We were able to negotiate an earlier time. Work will begin this Friday.
This year will include repaving of 6 streets and crack sealing more than 20 streets. Crack sealing is preventive work to increase the lifespan of the road surface, which dramatically decreases the long term maintenance cost.
