Hearing my friends and family scream like little girls when I walked on stage ...
Families in Federal Way won't have to travel very far this holiday season to enjoy one of the most popular forms of British entertainment - the Pantomime.
For those unfamiliar with this classic theatrical experience, Pantomime, or "Panto" as it is affectionately called, dates back to the Middle Ages, and is presented by theater companies large and small across the British Isles every year in December.

"Inherit the Wind," is an ambitious new play by students in the Ballard High School drama department dealing with the subject of evolution.
Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee wrote the play in 1955 as a fictional account of the real-life trial of John Scopes .
Former students, colleagues and friends of the Federal Way language arts teacher Jean Hill Chase will gather on Saturday, October 22 at the Sacajawea Junior High Library to share memories, photos and stories of a popular and much-beloved teacher.
Jean Hill Chase died on August 25, 2005 in Fall City, Washington.
A Decatur High School and Sacajawea Middle School faculty member from 1973 until her retirement in 1988, Chase inspired and motivated hundreds of students over the years through her dynamic teaching style and exceptional commitment to learning, several of her forme
To commemorate their 60th birthday the Highline Times gave a gift back to the community by throwing a bonanza of a bash for the local theatre group the Hi-Liners.
Civic and community leaders gathered at the Burien Elks Lodge on Aug. 17 for an experience of dinner theatre and good old fashion socializing. The Hi-Liners performed
three spectacular scenes from their
upcoming production of
West Side Story.
Between scenes Hi-Liner parents and board members advocated the importance of youth theatre in the community.
If you are wondering what The Federal Way Noon Rotary Club is up to and what they are doing for the students in the community, here's a summary:
Dictionaries were purchased and donated to every third grader at Mirror Lake Elementary School. Their thank you notes said, "Thank you for the dictionary. I think it is nice. I love it so much. Thank you. Sincerely, S.O" and, "Thank you for the nice dictionary. It will help me learn English. I can use it for my vocabulary. Sincerely, AT".
More kids in the community benefited through other projects.
When you have lunch with Mary Gates and Betty Huff, you have to accept a periodic interruption from friends of theirs. At Indochine recently, where Mary ordered a shrimp dish with a five-star degree of hotness, and Betty a more demure Thai salad, we gnoshed and talked symphony and the exciting pops program planned for August 13. Now and again, someone they knew would drift by the table (Mark Clirehugh, then Peggy Laporte) to say hello.
The very good reason for this is that these two women are among the leaders and shakers in town who makes things happen.

Thomas Jefferson - A Character Sketch
Negro Colonization
Ellis, Edward S. (A.M.)
Mr. Jefferson believed in the colonization of negroes to Africa, and the substitution of free white labor in their place.
He wrote to John Lynch, of Virginia, in 1811, as follows: "Having long ago made up my mind on this subject (colonization), I have no hesitation in saying that I have ever thought it the most desirable measure which could be adopted, for gradually drawing off this part of our population most advantageously for themselves as as [sic] well as for us.
"Going from a country possessing all the useful arts, they might be the means of transplanting them among the inhabitants of Africa, and would thus carry back to the country of their origin, the seeds of civilization, which might render their sojournment and sufferings here a blessing in the end to that country."
Many other eminent men have shared the same opinion, and not a few prominent leaders among the Afro-American people.
But it is now an impossibility. The American negro is in America to stay. The ever pressing problem of his relationship to the white man involves questions of education, labor, politics and religion, which will take infinite patience, insight, forbearance and wisdom to settle justly.

M.Ed., Curry College
B.S., Mount Ida College
Certified Veterinary Technician, Massachusetts
Professor Kim Karolides began her career by helping her first employer open the Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center of New England in Waltham, Massachusetts where she managed the ordering, the inventory and the staff.
She continues to work in many areas of veterinary medicine including emergency, research, day practice, surgical specialty and hospice care, bringing the perspective, skills and excitement of her life as a veterinary technician to her classroom and students.
"The field is growing by leaps and bounds and it's a very exciting time and getting a degree is worth the time and money spent. The people you will meet along the way will change your life."
Making a difference is most important to Professor Karolides. "I make a difference in the lives of my students and in the lives of the animals. I want to send out into the world the BEST veterinary technicians I can because they will make the difference in the lives of animals long after I can.
Karolides counts being the head – and the first – technician for the New England Pet Hospice and her position as Vice President of the Massachusetts Vet Tech Association among her accomplishments. In addition she has served on the legislative committee for VT licensure and as an advisor for the student chapter of NAVTA at Mount Ida. She teaches Introduction to Veterinary Technology, Veterinary Management and is Senior Internship Director.
Professor Karolides tells her students, "The work can be dirty and can even break your heart, but you will never regret your choice."

Fiscal decentralization after 20 years: What have we learned? Where do we go from here?
Local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines have been given significant resources through grants (called internal revenue allotment or IRA) and taxing powers. But after 20 years, LGUs have become even more dependent on the IRA. A body of evidence suggests no sharp improvement in local public service delivery. The share of local budgets devoted to devolved functions has declined, due to creeping re-centralization of health and social welfare functions, increasing substitution of centrally controlled funds for local funds, and misplaced priorities on the part of local authorities. The missing link in ensuring better delivery of devolved services is the weak process of accountability. The electoral process failed to hold local authorities accountable for their fiscal behavior. The generation of timely, relevant, and consistent information and indices of performance is the next challenge for better local public service delivery. Such information may be used by voters in holding local authorities accountable. With the threat of a fiscal crisis due to the global slowdown, and with poverty rising, the march toward fiscal decentralization might be constrained. Between reducing poverty or deepening fiscal decentralization, policy makers are likely to choose the former.

Just search up the Keywords in Search. Or in the dropdown menu for Categories, select "More Categories" and find the type of Ecommerce / Shop selection you want.
Some good keywords to search are "Paypal, Shop, Ecommerce, Shopping". Best of luck. Wish I could give you better choices but there is a variety already available and with limited info I'm not sure what to suggest to you.
Best of luck!

In all honesty, I thought this was okay and would be even better if they showed more African-American women with different hair types like 3a so those who aren't educated can tell our hair comes in many different types. This really shouldn't be considered a petting zoo because most people are making it seem as one.
My hair has been curly since the day I was born and since I was growing up I've been asked about my hair and if people could touch it. At first I thought it was ignorant but after a while I realized people are just curious since "black" hair isn't represented as "good" hair in the beauty world and the media.

UniView now supports Unicode version 9, which is being released today, including all changes made during the beta period. (As before, images are not available for the Tangut additions, but the character information is available.)
This version of UniView also introduces a new filter feature. Below each block or range of characters is a set of links that allows you to quickly highlight characters with the property letter, mark, number, punctuation, or symbol. For more fine-grained property distinctions, see the Filter panel.
In addition, for some blocks there are other links available that reflect tags assigned to characters. This tagging is far from exhaustive! For instance, clicking on sanskrit will not show all characters used in Sanskrit.
The tags are just intended to be an aid to help you find certain characters quickly by exposing words that appear in the character descriptions or block subsection titles. For example, if you want to find the Bengali currency symbol while viewing the Bengali block, click on currency and all other characters but those related to currency will be dimmed.
(Since the highlight function is used for this, don't forget that, if you happen to highlight a useful subset of characters and want to work with just those, you can use the Make list from highlights command, or click on the upwards pointing arrow icon below the text area to move those characters into the text area.)

Branding Tips From Andy Warhol
In 2006, the International Herald Tribune published an article that examines 20 years of the Andy Warhol brand. The author of the article commented, "To judge by all the merchandise, Warhol is being positioned as the next Hello Kitty." Today, seven years later, the comment still rings true.
No doubt, Warhol would have loved the Internet Era, a time when everyone really can have their "fifteen minutes of fame" (and much more). As a master of branding and commercialization, Warhol was of the persuasion that "being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art."

some pics of my 02 WJ
3 Attachment(s)
Earlier this week I bought myself a 02 WJ Limited. I absolutely love it. It's fully loaded and everything I could ask for. I got rid of my Ram for it. Along with my wife's 06 Commander, we now have a Jeep garage. My WJ has a 2" BB, 17x9 Moto Metal Skull wheels, and a 3" Powerstick chambered exhaust. I definitely need some more lift and AT tires. I'm going to smoke the taillights and maybe get some black housing headlights w/ HIDs in the near future. I'll probably install a 4" lift in the spring when I get tires. I'll update as I go along. Let me know what you think.

See Broadway Hit "Fela!" Written by COS Native
By Noel Black On February 1, 2011 · 2 Comments · In A Big Something, Interviews, Kathryn Eastburn, Local Genius!, Music, Theater
Kathryn Eastburn did this interview with Springs native Jim Lewis last summer when he was nominated for a Tony for the book for the hit Broadway musical "Fela!". You can now see the production live in HD Feb. 1 (tonight), 2, 8 and 9 at Theatreworks as part of the National Theater Live broadcast. Click HERE for complete details. (Full disclosure: Theatreworks underwrites with KRCC.)
Colorado Springs native Jim Lewis attended Cheyenne Mountain High School then went on to Colorado College to study history and philosophy. After graduating CC in 1979, Lewis eventually pursued a career in theater, first as a dramaturg, then as a prolific writer and collaborator in musical theater in New York City. His work as a playwright has received wide acclaim, including a Tony Award nomination in 1996 for his book of the musical "Chronicle of a Death Foretold," and another Tony Award nomination this year for the musical "Fela!", Lewis' collaboration with legendary choreographer Bill T. Jones. He also received two Drama Desk nominations for "Best Book" for both FELA! and This Beautiful City (w/ The Civilians). "Fela!" tells the story of Nigerian composer/musician/activist Fela Kuti whose musical style and political outspokenness brought him great fame and great suffering. Kathryn Eastburn interviewed Jim Lewis by phone for The Big Something.
Here's a video from the felaonbrodway.com (where you can also listen to the whole soundtrack) of Jim Lewis talking about Fela!.

(2/26/2008) NEW HAVEN- After three violent incidents took place in New Haven Monday evening, one of which resulted in a homicide, Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. called for the state to pay attention to the needs of New Haven in its fight against crime. Shortly after 10 p.m. Monday 27-year-old Fredy Salinas suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his chest as he ran to the aid of a neighbor who was being robbed. Earlier that evening, an officer was forced to discharge his service weapon as a suspect reached for a weapon and refused to raise his hands. Just before 9:30 p.m., an officer on patrol found himself in the middle of a shoot out where his life was jeopardized by feuding teens.
�We must put an end to violence in New Haven,� said DeStefano. �But we won�t accomplish this alone. We�ve done our share by fully funding the Police Department, raising funds for our successful Street Outreach Workers Program and by lobbying for more than a year for vital prison re-entry reform. Just last week, the City had to open a fourth homeless shelter to accommodate the growing number of individuals released from prison who are either dumped in front of our shelters by the Department of Corrections or who come back to their old neighborhoods in New Haven with no one to take them in, no jobs, no skills and no where to live.�
During today�s news conference, the City called for a serious commitment from the state for prison re-entry programs, tougher sentences for violent criminals and more accountable parole and probation systems so that repeat offenders are not allowed back on New Haven streets.
�We�ve seen a vicious cycle of offenders coming back to the community after their release or as they await court dates and re-offending,� said DeStefano. �At the same time we see groups of young people organizing around drugs and violence while becoming more and more distanced from society, from churches, from school and from anyone or anything except each other.�

Assessing the Value of College
Jeffrey Selingo, editor at large of the Chronicle of Higher Education, and author of College (Un)Bound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students, assesses the value of a college education.
→ Event Tonight: Cornell Club | 6pm Tuesday, May 7 | Free | Directions and More Information
Excerpt: College (Un)bound by Jeffrey Selingo
Bernardsville is an affluent village of nineteenth-century colonial homes, a small town center, and modern strip malls located in northern New Jersey, just thirty-five miles from midtown Manhattan. It's the type of American bedroom community where the college-educated settle, start families, watch their children grow up on the town ball fields, and then send them off to college after graduation from Bernards High School.
With a rich selection of Advanced Placement courses and the exclusive two-year International Baccalaureate curriculum, the 750-student high school is often ranked among the best public schools in the state. In the fall of 2005, Samantha Dietz entered her senior year at Bernards. She was a member of the debate club, Harvard Model Congress, and worked for the student newspaper. She took Advanced Placement psychology, as well as several International Baccalaureate courses, including English, French, and environmental science. She maintained a 3.9 grade-point average. And like almost all of her senior class, she was bound for college the following fall.
Dietz would be the first in her family to go to college. Her parents had solid jobs in technology, despite having only high-school diplomas. They didn't push her to go to college, but Dietz's teachers and guidance counselors did, especially to four-year colleges. She applied to more than a half a dozen schools: Rutgers University, Drew University, Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey; Hofstra University in New York; and Allegheny College and Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. She was accepted to all but Bucknell, where she was put on the wait list. When decision time came in the spring, Dietz closely examined the financial-aid offers from each of the colleges. For her, the choice would be strictly about the bottom line. Fairleigh Dickinson offered her the most financial aid, nearly all of it in grants that wouldn't have to be paid back. Its campus was about twenty minutes away, so she could live at home and save on room and board. With Fairleigh Dickinson's financial package, Dietz's tuition bill would be about half of the university's $25,000 list price at the time. Her decision was easy.
What Dietz failed to examine was Fairleigh Dickinson's graduation rate. In 2006, only 38 percent of its students graduated within six years, a rate well below all of the other schools she had considered. The two other local schools on her list, Rutgers and Drew, graduated more than 70 percent of their students within six years. Though Fairleigh Dickinson was giving Dietz a boatload of money, her chances of emerging at the other end with a degree were pretty dismal.
Dietz took a full slate of classes her first semester. To pay tuition, she waitressed and helped manage a restaurant near her house. She worked twenty-five hours a week, mostly on nights and weekends. "By Thanksgiving, I was exhausted. I had no down time," she recalls. She was doing well in school, with mostly Bs in her classes. "I felt like I was killing myself for nothing," Dietz says. "This was money I could be saving and starting my life. I was managing a restaurant, handling finances and employees. I was learning a lot less about the real world in school and paying so much for it."
Toward the end of the semester, she received a letter from the university announcing that state funds to private colleges in New Jersey were at risk of being cut. It was a warning: she would likely need to pay even more the following fall.
So she dropped out of college.
The Dropout Crisis
The story of Samantha Dietz is not unique. It reflects a broad, national trend in American higher education, where some 400,000 students drop out every year.
For most of the twentieth century, the United States bragged that it had the best colleges and universities in the world — and rightfully so. Since the end of World War II, when colleges and universities threw open their doors to returning GIs, helping to create a vast middle class that defined a generation, these institutions have been the envy of the world and a symbol of American greatness. They attracted the most talented students from other countries, and graduated young Americans who were the best educated in the world.
Not anymore. Over the last thirty years — and particularly in the first decade of the new millennium — American higher education has lost its way. At the very top, the most elite and prestigious institutions remain the best — the world still clamors to get into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Berkeley, Stanford, Amherst, Williams, and a few dozen other household brands.
But at the colleges and universities attended by most American students, costs are spiraling out of control and quality is declining just as increasing international competition demands that higher education be more productive and less expensive. Only slightly more than 50 percent of American students who enter college leave with a bachelor's degree. Among wealthy countries, only Italy ranks lower. As a result, the United States is now ranked number twelve among developed nations in higher-education attainment by its young people.2 As the baby boomer generation leaves the work force, the country risks having successive generations less educated than the ones that preceded them for the first time. Such trends carry significant economic risks for the United States. For every dollar earned by college graduates, those who drop out without a degree earn sixty-seven cents. Since the turn of the century, average wages for high-school graduates — who today make up about half of the adult population — have fallen considerably to just over $19,000, below the federal poverty level for a family of four. Nothing short of winning the lottery helps ensure a young person will achieve the American dream quite like a college degree. A four-year college credential is the best ticket — and perhaps the only ticket — for kids from the poorest families to get ahead. For children from families at higher income levels (defined as $61,000 and above), a degree helps them make it to the top themselves.
In 2010, four years after Dietz quit Fairleigh Dickinson, she signed up for a class at nearby Raritan Valley Community College. Since then, she has taken one class a semester, paying about $500 a course. She wishes her counselors in high school had encouraged her to consider community college, instead of mocking two-year institutions as places for students who couldn't hack it on a four-year campus.
Now, Dietz is twenty-four years old and working for a real estate company. Her job doesn't require a degree, but she thinks she'll eventually get one. She has heard the statistics on the long-term payoff of a degree, but for the moment Dietz feels she is better off than many of her high-school friends who went to college. "They graduated and are in worse situations," she says. "They are back to waitressing or nannying, not doing anything with their degree. They are living at home and in tons of debt. I'm in a much better situation."

Question about patches
I bought and played through the standard edition when it was first released but have recently purchased the enhanced version and was wondering what patches I need to bring the game up to the most recent version and add features that the developers wanted in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated with links to actual patches would be a plus. It's a little confusing looking at different sites that show different results.
I have the enhanced version I think you'll have all the right patches as long as you download and install the director's cut.
it can be very confusing, especially w/ win7 64 I found it not working even after extensive tweaking and what not.
I ended up just re-buying it on Steam for 20 bucks all patched and good to go, problem solved. For 20 bucks. But I love the game, so it's not that big a kick in the cajones
Win 7, 64 bit. That's unexplored territory for me. It'll probably remain noman's land for a few years…
I just installed Win 7 64 a couple of weeks ago. No problems so far, but I haven't installed many games on it yet. I kept Win XP on my other partition.
Smart! But from what I've heard, people have been pretty happy with Win 7. Not sure about 64 vs 32.
the majority of things have worked on it, games and otherwise. I have had a few problems, Saints Row 2 doesnt work on it, neither does ToEE dependably.
Other than that, the following games have worked well, they may have taken some patching or tweaking, but they work:
Dragon Age
Age of Mythology
The Witcher
Guild Wars
All the latest Warhammer games
left 4 dead 1&2
Those are all relatively recent games.
I suspect you'll have more issues with games older than 5 years, or so.

Pink's Independence Day Family Outing
Celebrating the Fourth of July together, Pink and her husband Carey Hart took their daughter Willow for a bike ride in Los Angeles yesterday.
The "Raise Your Glass" songstress and her BMX beau looked thrilled as they made their way around town while shutterbugs snapped up pics of their little one.
Pink recently posted a video on YouTube announcing the release date of her brand new album The Truth About Love.
Sporting black tape 'x' marks on her chest, she shared, "I want to talk to you about something really important... What am I supposed to say? Hey guess what? My new album is coming out on I believe September 18 and it's called The Truth About Love."

Blues. Country. Gospel. Rock. It all started right here in Mississippi. And you can still experience the real deal at juke joints, festivals, street parties and picnics throughout the state. It's like taking a road trip through your record collection. Scroll on down to plan your visit and meet some of the genuine characters keeping our music true. Or click straight to city itineraries.
See & hear our Americana video.
Bluesman Robert Johnson changed the sound of popular music forever when he sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads of Highways 49 & 61 in Clarksdale. Although Son House claims it was actually Highway 8/Highway 1 in Rosedale. Why not visit both? Just beware of hellhounds.
Despite protests of "but I'm a Sunday school teacher," Jimmie Rodgers' sister-in-law, Elsie McWilliams actually wrote many of his most beloved country songs. Her rowdy piano is on display at the Jimmie Rodgers Museum in Meridian.
Of course, Elvis learned to shake and strum in Tupelo. And then there are the countless famous, infamous and not-so-famous bluesmen, troubadours, choirs, and songwriters that planted the seeds for what we now call roots music.

It has been soooo long since this first post went up and I thought it would be fun to include some updated photos of this mirror and show you how it has been used over the years. Still using it and loving it!
Where ol' girl currently lives in our Houston house.
Remember the teaser of my new sunburst mirror...
She's nice and beefy, and has lots of texture.
It's hard to tell in these photos (because we haven't had sun outside our windows in DAYS), but she has a really nice shine too.
Here's how I did it!
- existing round mirror (mine was a 20" el cheapo bought at Target year ago)
- 8 packages of 18" long wood shims ($3.25/pkg at Home Depot)
- piece of wood for the back of the sunburst (mine was a scrap piece of plywood ~ 20x20)
- Wood glue
- Gorilla glue
- Primer spray paint (I used white)
- Glaze (I used Lowes Valspar metal & patina glaze in pewter)
- paint brush for glaze
- hanging hardware (I took the hardware off the round mirror and reused it)

To the west is a dam, holding back a broad, shallow sheet of grey water, with dead trees standing in it.
Frontward was the small lake's grey water, rearward an avenue of limes.
"Things never come tae an ending, lassie," he said, his little red-brown eyes looking out over the grey water.
How safe, indeed, how safe and kind and cool in its girdle of grey water!
He rested there, leaning over the parapet, looking down at the grey water.
On an aged soap-box behind the house, several inches of grey water in a battered tin-pan indicated a previous effort.
Donnington turned quickly, and stared down into the grey water.
He turned at the sound of footsteps on the road and saw one of Halkett's men walking through that semblance of grey water.
The river stretched to broad lengths; gulls were on the grey water, knots of seaweed, and the sea-foam curled in advance of us.
There is a little mutter of gun-fire somewhere across the grey water where a fleet is at work.

Three Republican candidates
are jockeying for
District 6 Guilford County
Commissioner, a seat in
the middle of the western part of the
Republicans Hank Henning of
Jamestown, Tony Wilkins of Greensboro
and Jeremy Williams of High
Point are all running for the position,
and will face either Democrat
Linda Kellerman or Dan Miller in
the general election.
While the three
may be competing, each one appeared
focused on spreading their message
and reaching out to voters and less
interested in the specific differences
between themselves and the other
The newly drawn District 6, with
no incumbent running, leans Republican, with 16,378 registered
Republicans compared to 15,784 registered Democrats
and a large block of unaffiliated voters. John McCain and
Pat McCrory, respectively the Republican presidential and
gubernatorial candidates, carried the district in 2008, as did
Republican incumbent US Senate candidate Richard Burr in
Still, Democratic challenger Kay Hagan
narrowly carried the district over Republican
incumbent Elizabeth Dole in the 2008 Senate
race, showing a Democrat can will under special
Henning and Williams both said the need to
rein in spending to decrease debt and promote
limited government was the centerpiece of their
platform, arguing taxes needed to be lower to
encourage business and lessen the burden on
"We need to foster an environment where the
free market itself can thrive," said Williams, the
regional human resources director for Cintas
Corporation. "We really need to create an environment
where we have a competitive tax rate
that is lower."
Henning hit similar notes as Williams, but is
also focused on education, as his oldest son will
enter school in the fall.
"Jobs are created because we have a thriving
private sector and there's an opportunity for entrepreneurialism,"
said Henning, who works as
an account manager at Brady Services, a heating
and air company.
"We need to push for limited
government. The way we bring employers into
this community is by showing them we have the
strongest schools."
Henning graduated from Michigan State
with a degree in political theory and Williams
left Trinity College, where he was a Biblical
theology major. Both candidates said they would
want to communicate closely with the school
board, and Williams said his human
resources experience made him
uniquely qualified to do so because
of his communication skills.
Wilkins admitted that the three Republican
candidates saw eye-to-eye
on the importance of bringing jobs to
the county and balancing the budget,
saying spending should be cut be he
said he couldn't specify where until
after he studied the budget more
"I like the two gentlemen that I am
running against and consider them
friends," Wilkins said.
"Every candidate's
issues are economic growth
and jobs, but when you ask most
people to be specific it's difficult. On
a case-by-case basis, I would try and
improve the job situation and bring
in new employers to our community."
Speaking at the Guilford County Republican Convention
earlier this month, Henning said he had been a conservative
activist his entire life and emphasized his experience in the
Marine Corps, saying he enlisted after 9-11 to protect the
"If they were asked to serve I wanted be there with them,"
Henning said in an interview about the military. "I've always
been an idealist in a way. My kids are about to enter their
school age, and I want to do my part to put things on the right
Williams also said he was motivated by thinking about the
future he was leaving for his children, and talked about the
need for conservatives to come together because their commonalities
are greater than their differences.
"Life is too short… to harbor a grudge," Williams said,
referring to Rich Brenner's funeral earlier that day. "It's about
the legacy we'll leave behind when we go to heaven."
Williams has been active with Conservatives for Guilford
County, a tea party-affiliated group that has had some friction
with the Republican Party, but Williams said he identifies
with both groups and sees the squabbles as between a few
"I'm not going to be a part of anything that divides us from
our common goals and concerns," he said in an interview.
The convention was postponed a few hours to allow people
to attend Brenner's funeral, frustrating some in Conservatives
for Guilford County to the point of registering a complaint
with the state Republican Party to no avail. Brenner had been
a fixture in the party who expressed his disagreement with the
party's involvement in social issues like marriage.
Williams and Henning are both running for office for the
first time, but each has experience working on other conservative
candidates' campaigns. Williams worked on US Sen.
Richard Burr's reelection campaign in 2010 and is a fellow with the Institute for Political Leadership, which he described as a nonpartisan group focused on elections in North Carolina.
has worked on conservatives' campaigns for US Senate and House, and
said his experience on campaigns, business experience and military
service all prepared him to be a county commissioner. While he said
there would still be a learning curve, Henning said it wouldn't be steep
and that his goal was to represent a conservative Republican viewpoint,
though he would work with all the commissioners.
Williams nor Henning grew up in Guilford County. Henning moved here in
2007 with his wife because her family is here and Williams came to High
Point 20 years ago when he was 19. Wilkins, by contrast, has spent his
whole life in the county, which he sees as one of the factors that
distinguishes him from his opponents.
runs Furniture Connection, and said his business experience running the
company and balancing its budget qualifies him for the position. He
currently serves on the Greensboro War Memorial Commission and was the
executive director of the Guilford County Republican Party for two
Wilkins filed to run on the last possible day.
working as a firefighter for four years, Wilkins said public safety and
funding the sheriff's department and fire department were top
priorities for him.
asked why voters should choose him over the other Republican
candidates, Williams said he is uniquely positioned because he has been
addressing and researching the commissioners for two years, and
announced his intention to run a year ago.
was not a snap decision for me," he said. "I'm the only one prepared to
hit the ground running because of the homework that I've done. I've
actually been involved in it."
was part of a group that scoured the county budget, making
recommendations about where money could be saved in lieu of raising
taxes. Nine of the 11 commissioners came to hear about their findings,
but their recommendations weren't implemented. Williams said the
experience not only gave him credentials, but also encouraged him to run
for office.
said he was running because he has never been one to sit on the
sidelines and complain, and felt he could make a big difference
individually on a local level.


text: SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) have completed on-orbit testing of the second Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) military communications satellite. Following successful spacecraft testing, Satellite Control Authority (SCA) was turned over to the 14 th Air Force at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., for operations. The AEHF system provides vastly improved global, survivable, highly secure, protected communications for strategic command and tactical warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms. The system also serves international partners including Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A single AEHF satellite provides greater total capacity than the entire legacy five-satellite Milstar constellation. Individual user data rates will be increased five-fold, permitting transmission of tactical military communications, such as real-time video, battlefield maps and targeting data. In addition to its tactical mission, AEHF also provides the critical survivable, protected, and endurable communications links to national leaders including presidential conferencing in all levels of conflict. "Completion of on-orbit testing and handover of AEHF-2 is a critical milestone for the Air Force and our nation," said Dave Madden, Director of the Military Satellite Communications Systems Directorate at the U.S. Air Force's Space and Missile Systems Center. "The AEHF satellites on orbit and those planned for launch will play a pivotal role in our national security for years to come." AEHF-2 launched May 4, 2012 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. After successful spacecraft deployments and payload activation, the satellite has now completed all on-orbit testing. The on-orbit testing demonstrated both interoperability with the existing Milstar constellation and established communications networks between combinations of EHF communications terminals with legacy Milstar data rates, as well as at the new AEHF extended data rates (XDR). "The U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman AEHF team performed a thorough and efficient on orbit test campaign for this critical satellite, and AEHF-2 is performing exceptionally well," said Mark Calassa, Lockheed Martin's vice president and AEHF program manager. "With the first two AEHF satellites now on orbit, the Department of Defense is well on its way to augmenting, improving and expanding its critical military satellite communications architecture to meet increasing demand from users worldwide." Lockheed Martin is currently under contract to deliver four AEHF satellites and the Mission Control Segment. The program has begun advanced procurement of long-lead components for the fifth and sixth AEHF satellites.

You should have given it a 10/10.
Yes yes it is not as good, as fast, ... as much more expensive phones, but it does work perfectly fine as a basic Android 4.1 phone. In a nutshell, an absolutely astonishing value for those on a small budget.
And it's not only available in black, I have a white one. And the screen is responsive. I have had a Xperia and a galaxy ace and a galaxy young and I much prefer this one!
Is it the same as a Vodafone smartphone 3
Can you download netflix or spotify onto the Vodafone mini
Yes you can, it can have all the same apps like samsung galaxy S4, it's android .
Hi there is a grey dot on the left hand side of the phone can anyone tell me what that is?
where is the "Underscore sign", on the vodafone smart mini??
. Absolute nightmare of a phone. Has been sent for repair four times in as many months and battery replaced twice. have given up on it. Don't waste your money!
I bough the Vodafone mini 7 and have been using it for two months now.. I have been very patient with the phone but a huge nightmare ... Slow for one , Instagram cant work , freeze from time to time ... now it rings but it doesn't show on the screen if the in a incoming call , i cant answer the phone ... please advice if i have to send it in or just throw it seriously

Finder Alias files on Mac, while useful, have bloated to 5 MiB on a typical Mac. Crazy. As far as I can tell, the bloat is due to huge icon images being embedded into every alias file. Ok, maybe that makes an alias file self-contained, but I don't want hundreds or thousands of 5 MiB files all containing copies of the same icons. You would think that [at least for aliases to files without custom icons] the Finder would simply consult its own desktop icon database when required, instead of carrying the huge overhead of the icons in every alias file. If I move an alias file to a different Mac that does not have any files of the same kind, ok, just give me a generic document icon! Perhaps there's some subtlety of Finder engineering that I'm missing. Anyway, I'm tired of the bloat.
Assuming that your files are stationary, instead of a Finder alias you can use a UNIX-ish facility called a symbolic link (symlink). In the process of whipping up an Applescript to make these, I discovered a decade-old Mac OS X Hints post entitled "A script to convert aliases to symlinks" that provides a shell script to do it: You pass one or more filenames of alias files as arguments; the script converts each alias file to a symlink. The Finder then subsequently treats symlinks as you would expect: A symlink behaves like an alias (and displays an icon badge like an alias).
I zipped-up the shell script: alias2ln.
Shell scripts are really only useful if you know how to obtain a command-line prompt, you know roughly what /bin/sh means, and you know how to set your path. Most Mac users don't know these things. So, I packaged the shell script up into an Automator action: Alias to symlink.workflow. Unzip it. When you double-click, it will offer to install itself (into ~/Library/Services, as it turns out).
Once it's installed, select one or more alias files, then choose Finder > Services > Alias to symlink. Watch the reference go from 5 MiB to a hundred bytes or so.
One thing you have to know: A Mac alias incorporates a mechanism to "follow" a file even if it is moved. A symlink has no such feature; when created, a symlink references a certain path fixed. (In fact, that path is precisely and exactly what the symlink file contains, along with one bit [in the inode, if you must know] that distinguishes it from an ordinary file.) If you move the original file, the symlink won't function (unless you put some file or other into the original location).
On a closely related topic, Nick Zitzmann has created a Service, SymbolicLinker. Once you install this, select a file, then access the service through the Finder's Services menu or through the Finder's contextual menu. A symlink to the selected file[s] will be made and placed into the same folder. You can then move the [absolute] symlink anywhere you like. I have used the Keyboard preferences panel to make a keyboard shortcut key ⌘L for this service – that is, I have replaced the built-in "Make Alias" shortcut with a "Make Symlink" shortcut, so when I want to make a symlink, I just hit Command‑L.

Red-light cameras to disappear from Burien
After May 1, red-light cameras will be gone from three Burien intersections.
Burien lawmakers decided Feb. 13 not to renew the contract with Redflex Traffic Systems after May 1. The company has been providing the cameras to Burien since 2009.
The cameras are located along First Avenue S. at 148th St., 152nd St, and 160th St. The cameras are designed to catch drivers going through the intersections or making a right turn without stopping when the traffic lights are red.
Finance director Kim Krause said the program is designed so the city does not pay Redflex more than revenues received from tickets. She noted that payment is not sent to Redflex until the revenues are received.
However, the city spent about $55,000 in district court costs for the photo enforcement program in 2009 and 2010. She said Burien is expected to incur another $30,000 in costs for 2011. Krause added the added cost for Burien police to review and issue the tickets is unknown.
She provided a summary of revenues and costs billed the city by Redflex for the past three years.
In 2009, the program generated $187,273 in revenues while the contract cost was $145,813 generating a net of $41460.
In 2010, the program netted $611 with revenues of $233,411 and costs of $232,800.
Last year, costs billed by Redflex were actually $61,044 more than the city took in from the program. The 2011 revenues were $171,756 while Redflex costs were $232,800.
For the three-year period, there was an $18,973 deficit between Reflex's costs and revenues generated.
On Jan. 23, Councilman Gerald Robison asked staff for a comparison of accidents at the intersections before the cameras were installed and afterwards.
Comparisons between Oct. 2006-May 2009 and May 2009-Dec. 2011 show that the accident rates for the three intersections along First Avenue remained about the same even after the cameras were installed.
At 148th, there were 21 accidents during both time frames. At 152nd, there were 11 accidents pre-camera and 9 accidents post-camera. At. 160th St., there were 18 pre-camera accidents and 20 post-camera accidents.
Police Chief Scott Kimerer said the main goal of the red-light program was traffic safety, not generating traffic violation revenues.
He added that the three intersections have never had a lot of accidents but he feels the cameras modified drivers' behaviors.
Councilman Robison suggested people modified their routes to avoid the intersections.
Robison said the red-light cameras have not shown a benefit and have been used as a tax on drivers who got careless at the three intersections.
"They are primarily a boondoggle for the camera company," Robison declared.
Councilman Jack Block disagreed.
Block said the city has not fully capitalized on the program, He proposed putting the contract out to bid again. He said a new contract should involve technological enhancements and a different cost structure.
Cameras could also be placed in school zones to catch speeders, Block added.
However, other council members reached a consensus that they wanted to terminate the red light camera program.
Red-light cameras will continue in SeaTac.

Fighting off temper tantrums How to keep from screaming when your toddler does By Alena Murguia
We've all been there. Your daughter is just having a terrible day. Every little thing sets her off. You have already survived three meltdowns and it's only noon. The holidays are upon us, the shopping is not done and tensions are running high. You can feel the familiar hysteria boiling up inside. The tears threaten to run down both you and your daughter's cheeks.
You may not be able to control your child's tantrum but you can keep yours in check. In fact, it is important to remember that temper tantrums are a healthy and normal part of growing up. According to child psychologist Colleen Cicchetti of Children's Memorial Hospital, children are struggling for ways to express themselves and exert some control, struggles that sometimes turn into tantrums. This does not mean you are a bad mother or father, she says. But it can feel that way.
So, how do you diffuse the emotion? The following tips are a combination of approaches used by other mothers, my own personal experience, expert advice from medical professionals and good old common sense. Try any or all of them to keep calm, not just during the holiday season, but year-round.
1 Breathe. "Take a deep breath" is popular advice for a reason. It occupies your lungs to prevent you from screaming while delivering much-needed oxygen to your brain, which allows you to think. Teach your toddler to do it, too—three counts in and three counts out. A few deep breaths are usually enough to diffuse both your tempers.
2 Recite the parenting mantra. During parenting seminars, Cicchetti encourages parents to come up with their own coping mantras, to be repeated aloud: "I know that I'm doing my job. He is doing his, too. This is all part of growing up." Kids learn better by watching us struggle through choices than if we make things seem easy. So, let your daughter hear how you work through your frustrations. You'll diffuse the emotion and teach her at the same time.
3 Get out. When I'm just about to blow, I try a new scene. It can be as simple as going into the yard or taking a walk around the neighborhood. Your daughter can run around to work out the bad energy and you get the chance to focus on the scenery instead of the argument. If the weather is not cooperating, try an impromptu adventure. Does your local mall have a children's play area? Or is there an open gym at your park district? Just find an activity that allows you to take the focus off each other and put it onto something different.
4 Chill out. This is not to be confused with a time out, which is punishment for misbehaving. A chill out is the time spent diffusing a potentially explosive situation in the hope of avoiding the blowup. So, before you loose control, separate yourself from the situation. Make sure your child is safe in his crib or the playroom and then spend a few minutes alone regaining your composure. Sometimes five minutes is all you need.
5 Reach out. Fellow parents know how to hear you over your baby's screams. Chances are another mom has been there before and can talk you back from the edge.
6 Remember the good times. Break out the baby picture and remember how cute she was before she learned to push every button you have—a strategy that could prove useful again when she hits those difficult teen years.
7 Talk it out. But do it carefully. Avoid starting sentences with the words, "you make me so …" Rather, according to Dr. Cathryn Tobin, pediatrician and author of The Parent's Problem Solver, try saying "Mommy is feeling (frustrated, sad, angry)" and give your child a reason why you dislike his behavior—"I don't want you to throw toys because I'm afraid someone will get hurt." This is another opportunity for modeling good problem-solving behavior for your child. Tobin says kids will learn more about controlling their temper when they see us control ours. And, she says, if you're really lucky, your openness about your feelings may lead your son to share what's motivating his tantrum.
8 Try new approaches. While we all know that children respond to consistency, if the approach you are using to quell temper tantrums is not working, try something else. Pick up a parenting book. Go to the Internet. Find an approach that might work for you and your kids. This may not solve the immediate crisis, but you can take comfort in the fact that you have taken one positive step.
9 Get some sleep. A well-rested parent is better able to cope with any crisis. Find a way to catch 20 minutes in the late afternoon or go to bed earlier at night, whatever is takes to put you at your best during the day.
10 Reward your good behavior. As soon as your partner gets home, fill the tub with hot water and bath salts, listen to music and refuse to be interrupted. Or plan a romantic date for just you and your partner. You survived the day. You deserve a reward.

So now you want to depend on the internet advice of a stranger 12000 miles away for possibly expensive car repairs that might not even work? Hmmm, OK, I'm in. It'syour dough, or wan in this case.
What year and model is your car? What is the mileage? Does the transmission seem to shift properly. Except for the idle roughness does it run normally at other times? When you starti it the first time of the day it idles good and is OK until you stop somewhere, restart the engine and then it runs rough for a while? How long is it rough? If you don't drive it, just sit there, does it stay rough for a long time? If it is rough, you drive it half a mile and then stop, is it still rough?
Are you certain this did not happen until after you had all the engine work done? Is it possible that the engine was running so bad before the repairs that you didn't notice a little idle roughness?
Answer my questions then I will answer yours.

If there's one gadget you should buy this year, it's a scanner. Why? Because no other device (other than a computer) can better facilitate your family history research.
Let's say your cousin Esther in Idaho just got her hands on the family Bible, and you're itching to uncover its genealogical gems. But alas, you live in Rhode Island, and there's no way Esther will risk shipping that heirloom across the continent. You could shell out the cash for color copies — or, if Esther has a scanner, you could just ask her to digitize the Bible's pages (for free) and send them to you over e-mail or post them to her Web site. In the spirit of sharing (and isn't that what genealogy's all about?), you could then scan your grandmother's wedding album and send those images to Esther. You both save money, and you both gain family knowledge — not to mention digital copies of priceless heirlooms.
Already have a scanner? Consider upgrading. Scanners have improved drastically in the past few years, and prices have plummeted. Now you can get a top-of-the-line photo scanner that will make your old pics look like new for less than $200. And portable devices can eliminate the need to make photocopies at record repositories. So trade in that clunky 1997 model for a feather-light, streamlined 2004. Here's how to choose the right one.
Key components
In the past, family historians picked scanners based solely on price. But with so many affordable models now on the market — some cost less than $30 — price is seldom the deciding factor. Of course, you'll still take cost into consideration, but you'll need to examine these features, too:
Role models
Now consider the different types of scanners available and what they can do:
Imagine all you can do with a brand-new-scanner. You'll be digitizing your whole photo collection in no time.

just like you created the user "postgres" in this tutorial, see its people like you that force the senior members to respond unkindly... you don't read the thread you are posting in and even TRY to connect the dots yourself...
This is better explication:
to create a first user in kubuntu/ubuntu linux, type the following:
~$ sudo su postgres -c createuser *USERNAME*
Then create a db:
~$ sudo su postgres -c createdb *DBNAME*
Then create a password for the user by connecting using psql:
~$ sudo su postgres -c psql *DBNAME*
Then alter the password:
=#ALTER USER *username* WITH PASSWORD *password*;
And you have a user for apps like django, per se.
after \q I get the error "could not save history to file "/var/lib.postgresql/.psql_history": Permission denied"Code:
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'your password';
Any ideas?
okay I created the file .psql_history and set the permissions to write - is that what I'm supposed to do? :confused:
I followed the instructions and when I run autopwn I get the error:
Is this normal?Code:
dropdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: role "root" does not exist
What's not exactly clear to me is - is the code I'm entering into msf permanent or do I have to enter it everytime I want to run msf?
If I do have to enter it every time how do I run fast track with the additional code?
Thanks for the help.
Okay I'm not following...
I've read your tutorial many times. Maybe you can help clarify.
What I'm understanding from your post is that I have to be logged in as postgres when running msf.
So how can I set that as the default when starting msf? Like running msf from fast-track?
Re: psql: FATAL: user "root" does not exist createdb:
Where do you guys even come from ?Code:
execute these as the postgres user:
su - postgres
One option is to create a super-user with something like:
postgres$ createuser -d -a -P jeoff
jeoff$ createdb ibmadb

Discharge Instructions for Thoracentesis
Thoracentesis is a procedure that removes excess fluid from the pleural space called a pleural effusion. This space is between the outside surface of the lungs (pleura) and the chest wall. The procedure may be done to take a sample of the fluid for testing to help determine the cause. Or, if you are having symptoms such as trouble breathing, it may also be done to drain the excess fluid to improve symptoms.
Home Care
You may have some pain after the procedure. If needed, your doctor can prescribe or recommend pain medications for you to take at home. Take these exactly as directed. If you stopped taking other medications before the procedure, ask your doctor when you can start them again.
Take it easy for 48 hours after the procedure. Avoid being active until your doctor says it's OK.
Avoid strenuous activities, such as lifting, until your doctor says it's OK.
You will have a small bandage over the puncture site. You may remove the bandage in 24 hours.
Check the puncture site for the signs of infection listed below.
Make a follow-up appointment with your doctor as directed. During your follow-up visit, your doctor will check your healing. Be sure to let your doctor know how you are feeling.
When to Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
Coughing up blood
Chest pain (If chest pain worsens abruptly, it may be an emergency.)
Shortness of breath
A fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher
Pain not relieved by pain medication
Signs of infection at the puncture site. These include increased pain, redness, or swelling, warmth, or foul-smelling drainage.

Lobbyists descend on Capitol to try to influence gun dialogue - Roanoke.com
From times dispatch.com: Advocates in gun debate converge on Capitol Square - Richmond Times-Dispatch: Government And Politics:Advocates in gun debate converge on Capitol Square
BY MARKUS SCHMIDT Richmond Times-Dispatch
Less than six week after the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that left 20 children and six adults dead, advocates on both sides of the gun debate are on Capitol Square on Lobby Day to make their case to lawmakers.
This afternoon, groups seeking further restrictions will lobby at the Bell Tower in Capitol Square to remember victims of gun violence.
This morning, gun-rights advocates gathered around the Capitol and the General Assembly Building to protest recent legislative efforts to impose further regulations on gun owners.
"Some folks want to talk about more gun control using tragedies like the Sandy Hook shooting, but that's missing the issue," said Russell Fisher, a Vietnam veteran and retired law enforcement officer from Dumfries in Prince William County.
"Legislating inanimate objects doesn't make much sense. We need to legislate criminal behavior," he said.
Matthew Maddelena of Woodbridge said that banning assault rifles would be the wrong approach, because "these weapons are not involved in a lot of crimes."
Maddelena said that such legislation would only punish responsible licensed gun owners like himself. "I've had guns in my house since I was a child and nobody was ever shot," he said.
Supporters of more gun regulation were not yet visible around the Capitol this morning. They may have already lost their battle last week when Senate and House panels scrapped a number of bills that would have banned sales of assault-style weapons and large magazines and would have required background checks on all sales.
A proposal that would compel private sellers at gun shows to use licensed dealers to sell their firearms is pending, but chances for such legislation to pass remain slim.
Bob Sadtler of Richmond, gun show coordinator with the Virginia Citizens Defense League, said that legislation aimed at closing this so called "gun show loophole" would have the opposite effect.
"Gun shows are not attractive to criminals because they don't do business in front of cops and witnesses," he said. "If this law passes, private sellers will take their business outside into the parking lot. For a criminal, this will turn a gun show sale from a risk into an opportunity," Sadtler said.

+1 Dave!!! Thanks to you and everyone else who showed up and represented responsible gun owners. I'm sorry I don't live in Virginia anymore and couldn't be there. I have still been giving them a dose of reality on Dan's blog there at the Roanoke Times even from sunny Florida. Thanks Dave and let me know if I can do anything from here to help.
