mercury lights
I replaced the dusk to dawn light on a garage. After taking down the old one and installing the new one, the light blinked once, which is what the directions said it would do. It didn't turn on at dark like it was suppose to. I tried to switch the wires to see if maybe I hooked it up wrong. Still doesn't work at night. The sensor on top has an arrow on it which I have pointed north. The brand name of the light is Regent.There is power going to the light. Is there a way to check it in the daytime? Any help is appreciated.
Find the photo cell and cover it with black tape or tinfoil.
Go here and see if any one of the mercury vapor lights is the one you have and then be sure that you did the photo cell and cover installation correctly.
Thanks for the help. The existing wires inside the garage were the old knob and tube wires. Both had a black covering on them. I wasn't sure which one to connect the white wire from the light to. Thats why I switched them after they didn't work the first time. I installed a junction box inside the garage to connect all the wires but the ground wire from the light I just grounded to the box itself. Still not working. Thanks again.
Have you tried screwing the light bulb out a few turns and then back in till snug? In the daytime you should be able to cover the photo lens and force the light to come on. I really think you have an issue with the photo cell installation. What was the arrow to be used for? Isn't that to line up the photo lens dots to determine how sensitive you want the light to darkness?

Dear Concerned Student,
I'm not allowed in schools.
We have this awful school shooting the other day and it gets thousands of shares on facebook.
Now can anybody who agrees with the "ideals" of the t-shirt explain it to me? Every way I look at it, it just reflects poorly on who's ever god it is.
One way, God allows violence in school because he's upset at the decision to not allow schools to endorse a religion by having the staff lead prayers. To me, in this situation, God is a petty tyrant.
While I don't agree with the shirt, If God is who he is, does it matter if he is a tyrant or not? I don't see the creator of the universe going "Oh, these people think I should act this way" Forget the fact that he created them and gave them the ability to think that way. Being the creator of the universe (which we're going with because we're talking as if he were a real being) he can act however he pleases.
That being said, I don't think God is a tyrant and I think he does care.
Another way, God isn't "allowed" in school, so he has no power to stop it. Is he/she bound by a twisted interpretation of federal law?
Anything i'm not seeing here?
There are examples in the bible where, after prolonged disobedience, God leaves a city or group of people to thier own devices.
While I don't believe this personally, some Christians may argue that God has tried to be part of the public school system (and he was at the birth of our country) and because of the disobedience of our country/school systems, he has left them to what THEY think is good and moral. Further more, and I don't believe this, those morals are based on evolutionary teaching which relies on survival of the fittest and the strongest survive.
When I saw this thing right after the shooting, I made this comment:
"So, God allows children to be brutally murdered because public schools aren't allowed to promote religion? That's pretty disgusting and if you believe this, I think it speaks more to the nature of God than the separation of church and state."
which warranted a very long and drawn out private message from a "friend" who basically told me that he can't wait for my judgement from god, yada yada yada, and that he didn't care what happened to me. And he de-friended me. ;)
Was my comment offensive? Was it more or less offensive than the message on the t-shirt?
I totally hate this T-shirt. It's the exact same thing Huckabee said on his blog too. It's so far off, it's not even funny. It's simply a political statement rapped up in religious dribble.
Here's what I believe. I think that we live in a broken world. We were designed to live perfect, with out sin. This world was designed in the same way. When ever we, as the created, think "It just shouldn't be this way" we're absolutely right. Our bodies, which are meant to live in a perfect world, know inwardly that this world is not right. That things like the CT Shooting shouldn't happen; and they shouldn't; BUT we have sin inherent in our lives. That sin causes us to separate from God and turn to ourselves for answers.
Every good and perfect gift comes from above. The further we come from God's glory, the less perfect and good we become. The caveat to that is that the longer we live away from God, the more numb to him we become. In turn, we're numbing our selves to things like love, compassion, and general care for our fellow human beings. These things come from God.
The reason for acts like this is because we live in a broken world that aches for the return to it's designed state. The only way to get back to that perfect state is Christ. Sin entered our world through one man who choose to live imperfect and disobedient and it has been erased by one man who choose to live perfect and then die for our sins.
And I've said more then once, Every single one of those that died on that day were God's Children and to say that he didn't care, or did this on purpose, would be like saying every single one of those parents did the same. That's what sickens me the most about that shirt.

Plumbing line in exterior concrete for pool
Hope someone can help. We are having new concrete poured around our existing inground pool and have added some jets into the concrete patio that shoot water from the jets in the concrete patio into the pool. Currently the plumbing is laying on top of some dense-grade and the concrete contractor is going to pour the concrete directly over the plumbing lines (enclosing the lines within the concrete).
Is there any concern of the plumbing lines getting crushed/cracked during the freezing winter months due to the concrete expanding? (of course the lines will be winterized). I was thinking the lines should be buried in pea gravel perhaps, then the concrete poured, however the concrete guy assures me that it is fine to pour over the lines??? Does this sound right?
I would want them buried in the dirt .. Then pour concrete over
Thank you for the reply... it seems like that would make more sense to me as well. My problem is, there is already dense grade installed, lots of plumbing (8 jets) on top of the dense grade, the contractor assuring me its ok. I guess what i'm hoping to hear is that, in fact, the plumbing will be ok inside the concrete, or that, in fact, the plumbing will crack if not buried. We've had complications along the way and this project has taken months to get this far (due to problem contractors...firing them, starting over with other contractors, etc)... so if its ok to leave it as is, we will do that just to get this nightmare overwith.
good to go
we just leave them where are. breid
Sounds good...thanks. It sounds like it should hold up ok.

ok, so i have this friend who is running a K&N and wants to clean his MAF and is not sure where exactly it is or what it looks like. can u explain a little what he should be looking for?
a tubie thing in the intake tract with wires coming out of it, you cant miss it. Also use very light amount of fluid. The maf can only be cleaned so much before you wear the wire out.
aight i'll keep my eyes peeled for tubie thing. <--- my engines view of me later today poking around in it.
If you haven't already, search this thread (above) for a safe method for cleaning the MAF.Originally Posted by GIRex
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. REMOVE THE NEGATIVE LEAD FROM YOUR BATTERY FIRST BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WITH THE MAF. There's the possibility of shorting out the MAF if you don't. So do that first, then go to the next paragraph.
In terms of where it is, first find your air cleaner box. That will be near the right front wheel well inside the engine bay. The top of the air cleaner box attaches to a flexible hose. Just before where it attaches, there's an electronic device attached to the top of the air cleaner box cover, with wires coming out of it. This device is the top cover of the MAF. Two screws hold it on. If you carefully examine the way the wires are attached to the MAF, you'll figure out how to detach the plug from the MAF, which is where the wires terminate. Detach the wire plug. Then take out the screws holding the MAF in place. Careful not to drop the screws, cuz you probably won't find them, then you'll really be stuck. After you've got the screws out, pull the MAF straight up. Stick a rag or something in the air cleaner hole youve just opened up so that nothing gets in there while you're dealing with the MAF cleaning. Since that hole is downstream from the air filter, anything dropped in the hole could get sucked right into a combustion chamber, perhaps getting munched by a valve first. If its something harder than a valve or a piston you could be in big trouble. After you clean the MAF, just do the reverse of the above.
When you disconnect your negative battery cable, your radio settings, clock and trip odometer will have to be reset.
My opinion after all I've been through and read is that you should can an oiled filter and go back to paper. I think the oiled filters will tend to re-coat the MAF.
hmmm, i also got CEL right after i started my car with new K&N panel in. I was thinking about going to Autozone and puling the code but didn't have time because it was sunday and i was going to atox. I was pretty sure it may be may "no cat" CEL since i cleared one recently but during the day CEL went away on its own. It's possible that K&N caused it. I'll try to take look at my MAF today and clean it if necessary.

Personal problem, opinions please!
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to get opinions on a big decision I am facing. Ok so I grew up in Charleston, SC, born and raised, still living here. I love it here! The beach, the history, everything. My fiance and I met here, and he is originally from Dayton, Ohio. We have been together 4 years now, lived together for 3. We love each other very much and are very close. He is my best friend yada yada....Anyway, We have been struggling financially. I havent been able to find good work as I am under qualified. I have a part time job for an after school program. I also only have two years of college so far, but I am currently working on finishing. My fiance has always done construction so hes never done any college. So work is hard to find right now. We are young, trying to get on our feet. So his family who is in Ohio presents him with this opportunity to move back there. His dad owns his own construction company and my fiance would work with him and would receive 16 an hour starting out, his dad offered to put a down payment on a home/apartment, and offered to pay for a new work truck for him (we are also in a terrible car situation, we have no car, I've been borrowing my parents for work). My fiance also has a great solid plan to get me a car when he goes up first and gets settled there, then comes back for me. That sounds like a great opportunity! It could really get us on our feet. The problem is, I do NOT want to move to Ohio. I've only visited there twice, and I didn't even like visiting. Its way too cold, Its way different than what im used to. I also feel like my fiance needs to be more independent from his family and we should try to figure things out on our own. Not only that but I'd be leaving everything and everyone I know to go 13 hours away from home. Its a big sacrifice and I'd be entirely dependent on that until I finished school. Its scary for me, and I don't know what I should do. I think about alot of what if's, such as if it didnt work out. Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation? Or been faced with a big decision like this? Am I in the wrong for not wanting this? UGH..
Can you finish school there? Maybe plan to go for the two years and he can work while you finish school, then reevaluate where you want to live.
I don't think you are in the wrong about not wanting this. If you don't want it, you don't want it.
That said, I grew up military, to me a place is a place. If the work was in Ohio, I'd go to Ohio, it's how I was raised. It's not easy making a new life, new friends, etc, but people do it all the time.
I guess the real question is what do you really want? Your fiancee has an opportunity to work, to help provide for you but it involves moving. What will be the long term cost if he stays with you, or if he goes without you. What are you willing to risk?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using CurlTalk App
You could look at it as an opportunity and a temporary situation. Your goal could be to get on your feet, finish school, save money, etc in order to one day move back.
Yeah I guess I'm being a little ridiculous about it. I can finish school there because my community college offers online classes which I've been doing anyway. Oh well, guess I will see what happens when it happens.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using CurlTalk App
You're not being ridiculous. I would be concerned also. It's not that you two are married, but it does sound like you have a pretty solid relationship.
Oh we do and once again when money permits we will be married. So realistically it is the best over all situation. We are lucky to have a good opportunity. I'm sure others aren't as fortunate some times. Thanks yall , your opinions have helped me see what's best.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using CurlTalk App
I feel your pain. I am facing my own dilemmas in that area. I live in Ohio, he lives in IL. I don't want to leave Cleveland, but my reasons are different.
I have things that are keeping me here. A house that I owe more than it's worth, I've been with the same company for almost 12 years, and I run a small business out of my house so I would loose my workers. I also loss my mom in October so leaving my family at this point seems stupid dumb.
All that being said, I am considering the move. Why? Because I have to live my life. I have to grow. I have to change. I have to go where there is opportunity. Are there some challenges? Yes, and I need them all to be addressed before I made my decision, but I realize that one way or another, I will have to make room in my life for someone else. Even if I stay in Ohio, I will have to make sacrifices.
so like the others said, What do you really want? How can you benefit from this move? Are you prepared to let him go while you stay? Are there other options?
I've lived in Ohio for 18 years. The weather sucks here. So depressing. I don't blame you at all for not wanting to live here.
I'm from New Jersey, the armpit of the nation, and even I wouldn't move to Ohio. You will be stuck there and you will probably hate it, especially since you seem to love the beach and history of SC. Ohio doesn't have a lot to offer. And I have a hard time believing Ohio has more work opportunities. It's a place where people have left in droves, to find better work. It's not someplace people generally move TO.
Ugh..I was afraid of that..Well hopefully it will only be temporary.. I hate snow too. We dont get snow in SC thankfully. But I know Ohio does alot. and yes he has a job waiting for him. His father owns a business so that's who he's working for.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using CurlTalk App
I live pretty close to Dayton. The winters aren't nice. I'm so tired of snow and cold right now that I could scream. Don't do it. Ohio is a black hole that sucks people in and doesn't let them leave!! Stay where the weather is nicer.
How did his father build such a viable construction business (that even cold, dreary, wet Ohio winters won't slow down)? Can't his father just coach him in starting his own construction business in SC? Surely, the weather in SC is more amenable to the construction trade than OH for more months of the year.
Personally, I don't like dayton either and wouldn't want to move there but...when you first met, what was the understanding about where you would settle down?
It seems to me that your (singular) life is on course. You're working toward your degree, working parttime and using your parents' car. But it's his life that is stalled. Why are you the one expected to uproot yourself? It seems like a mistake to mess up the part that is working.
If the dad is willing to help his son get a car and house and ohio, would he be willing to help him get those things in SC? you say you have no car right now. if he had a relaible car he could look for jobs in sc that is driving distance away. get what i am saying?
if his dad is not willing to help him do this, i feel his dad his using this as a way to suck his son in maybe? "if you come work with me, i will give you a car and house. if not you can make due with what you got or dont got."
I think it's a little different to say, I will buy you a car. And I will buy you a car if you're putting in 12 hours a day working for me.
But her fiance would be working for his dad in his company. I think that makes a difference as far as his dad helping out.
My eldest daughter moved to Columbus, OH with her fiance for 2 years while he was getting his Masters. She didn't love it, but found things to enjoy there. She knew it was temporary and she would be moving back to AZ, so she did fine. It was worth it in the long run.
Columbus is a much better city than Dayton. Not just saying that bc I live here. It just is. Dayton is pretty bad. :(
But it does have less snow than Northern OH.
You guys would benefit financially by moving up there. I'm also assuming he would not be able to find a 16/hr job in SC? If he could find something comparable, why could his dad not help him from another state? Maybe not as much since he won't be working for him, but at least a little? So would his dad only be helping with the house/apt down payment if he moved up there..kinda seems trapping. Because if you guys bought a place, you're more likely to stay there longer? Is there a plan to move back? Is this just temporary to help get things started? Also working for family long term can cause issues.
I think if it's short term and it would benefit your future, it may not be a bad idea. But I would hope you and him have tried your best to see if financially you could also make it work in SC because OH sounds veryyy depressing. And you live in a really nice city so it had better be worth it.
I would probably be spazzing if I was in your situation but as an outsider looking in, I say, can you transfer your job too? Will your job help you find a place there to work? (if it's like a company or store whatever) If so, Just go and if you hate it, go back.
I mean, you can go and not struggle and just hate living there, or you can stay and struggle.
But if you really really loathe the idea, then stay, maybe he can go for a bit by himself and then come back?
I mean maybe if someone in SC would decide to do work on the roads maybe there would be more jobs, I'm just saying, it's like a third world country. The roads....potholes on highways....sick joke. No streetlights, people up north be like "why is it so dark here" Driving through the forbidden Forrest, I swear. End rant.

|Remind me to show you this painting up close though, it really is something special.
It was driving me mad. We even found a large frame at a garage sale that fit the space, but had nothing to put in it. So in a fit of gumption, I got out the paints and a piece of cardboard. I figured that I would paint something simple and geometric and slap it up there until I found something better.
|Inspiration piece
Well, it turns out that after drawing countless circles with my trusty compass, geometric patterns are not as easy as they seem. Madness was sneaking up on me again.
So I turned to my Art board on Pinterest, hoping to find some inspiration. I found a painting that I really liked. "Sure, I can whip up a landscape painting with a cute little white building with no previous experience doing any such thing...and all in an hour before I need to make dinner? Yeah, no problem."
Well, as it turned out...
|First ever painting (that wasn't simple geometric or craft painting)!
Now that it is done, and I love it, I wish that I had done it on something better than thin cardboard (it was only supposed to be temporary). I gave the cardboard texture by mod-podging on some crumpled-then-flattened phone book pages before I attempted the geometric design (Oh, did I mention I was using acryllic craft paints? Please no comments from the professionals), and I really like the way it looks under the new painting.
There are plenty of technical flaws in the painting (uppity critics need not elaborate), but I learned so many techniques while working on it that I can only say embrace your fits of gumption. It is not a great masterpiece hanging in a gallery, but it is perfectly befitting for a big fireplace mantle in our little living room.

While the Clock May Be Ticking, Rush's Marathon Show Close to Perfection [REVIEW] [GALLERY]
Perfection — that's one word that describes a Rush show. Technically flawless, Rush has managed to lead their fans on a sonic journey, only last night at the First Niagara Center, Rush made an even bolder statement. Forty years after the release of their first album and a few weeks removed from being nominated for the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, the power trio proved they still "have it" by showcasing songs from the recently released Clockwork Angels album.
Sure, they played the classics, but when the group opened their second set, they played with renewed vigor, as they powered through nine new songs that felt as timeless as their previous 19 albums and added another chapter to the Rush mythos. Usually when a classic band breaks out the new material, it's time to head to the bathroom and refill the beer, but backed by an eight-piece string section and a hilarious video story line featuring the trio as gnomes, the die-hard fans stayed in their seats.
They also satisfied the cult of Rush fanatics by pulling out several deeper tracks from the "keyboard era" while paying special attention to the Power Windows album. Laced with social themes that deal with greed, cultural divide, middle class struggles, foreign policy and war-mongering, it was a fitting selection of songs in an American election year. And while Power Windows is 27 years old, its message remains as poignant today as it was when they released it.
Earlier in the show, the crowd was treated to the rarely played "Bravado," and with "Frankenstorm Sandy" heading our way, "Force 10″ had a very powerful effect. After wrapping up the Clockwork Angels portion of the show, the band ripped through some fan favorites like "YYZ," "Tom Sawyer" and "Spirit of Radio." A best of 2112 medley closed out the encore and left Rush fans hoping that this wasn't the last time we would see them in Buffalo.

GCU put up six runs on six hits in the third inning to jump in front 6-0. The 'Lopes recorded thee straight singles to plate the first score of the game before Stephanie Pesqueira drove a grand slam over the left field wall to stretch the margin to five. Haley Walker rounded out the scoring with an infield RBI single.
SUU got on the board with a leadoff home run from Kadi Henderson in the following frame as the senior infielder became the second T-Bird to leave the park in as many days. Grand Canyon got the score back with back-to-back doubles to open the fifth inning to extend its lead to 7-1.
The Thunderbirds had a chance at a rally in the sixth after the first three batters all got on base. SUU would plate two runs on as junior catcher Lyndsey Healey drove in Henderson and Resley reached home on an error. The Antelopes got out of the inning leading 7-3 however and held Southern Utah scoreless in the their last turn at bat to come away with the win.
Pesqueira (1-2) earned the win after allowing just one run over five innings while striking out four. Katie Greenberg (0-2) got the start for the T-Birds and gave up five runs before being replaced in the circle by Ariel Hart in the third. Freshman Jordan Theurer threw the final three frames for SUU, recording five strikeouts and allowing just one earned run.
Senior Meagan Neilson singled in the third to record a hit in her fourth-straight game, while Healey and Kelli Hales each picked up their first RBI of the year.

Nathalyia Fontaine has been the sole proprietor of the restaurant Fontaine since her husband died four years ago. She hasn't dated anyone in all those years, choosing not to open her heart again, or risk revealing her dark past.
That is, until she meets Rafael Dunlap. Rafael is a hostage negotiator with his own set of problems. Though he loves women, he vows he'll never marry because his job is just too unpredictable. He can't imagine leaving a widow and children behind. But his thinking and game plan of loving and leaving changes when he meets Nathalyia. Though she tries to resist him, Rafael sweeps her into a whirlwind romance. When the unexpected happens, and Nathalyia is forced to keep it a secret, she ends things with Rafael before he can break her heart. But when Rafael is in harm's way, will Nathalyia resolve to tell him the truth before it's too late? Or will past demons keep them apart forever?

"great story"
Another great audio book. Rafael the hard core playboy who has no intention of ever settling down fall hard for Nathalyia. This one surprised me and I found that I really enjoyed the story.
"OK premise"
The story was full of a lot of clichés, was a little boring. Also point in the story were repeated a lot

: Overwhelmed a bit...
I am having a hard time finding the right shampoo and conditioner and styling products for my hair. I've been using the YES TO CARROTS shampoo and conditioner, which seems to be working fine for now. However, the second day is where my hair gets dry. I'm really not sure what styling products to use for it. Wet or dry. Right now, I'm using the L'oreal Eversleek for humidity, I forgot what it is called. Anyway, I'm not really sure how to keep my hair moisturized. I kind of need something cheap, and I've been reading about the leave-ins, but most of them have proteins in it and I have learned the hard way that my hair is protein sensitive, which doesn't make sense because i used the tri-wheat spray from sexy hair a while back when Iwas straightening my hair and it never dried out, but I don't straighten my hair nor do I blow dry. I'd like a CG friendly styling product that is also protein free and a little on the cheap side. Any suggestions? Oh, also what about a good deep conditioner?

Danielle de Niese's Road Trip Playlist
As the summer driving season gets underway, we're asking on-the-go classical musicians for their road trip playlists. The latest installment comes from the American soprano Danielle de Niese.
De Niese has just come off a busy performance season that has included dates at opera houses in New York, San Francisco, Barcelona and Munich, among other venues. She has been particularly identified with her glamorous, vocally supple portrayals of Baroque heroines, including Handel's Cleopatra, considered a career breakthrough when she performed it at Glyndebourne in 2006. Today, that summer opera festival in Sussex, England is also de Niese's home: she lives in a country manner on the festival grounds, a result of her marriage to Gus Christie, Glyndebourne's third-generation director.
Appropriate to her adopted country, de Niese offers several British choral standards, some operatic heroes, as well as with several of her own recordings. Full descriptions of her choices follow the Spotify playlist (note: you must be a Spotify subscriber to listen).
De Niese describes her choices:
1) Grieg: Holberg Suite, Op.40: 1. Präludium (Allegro Vivace) (Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Neville Marriner, conductor)
This is one of my favorite pieces and I'm a big fan of Grieg. I made sure this piece was used in the introduction of the BBC show that chronicled my life, "Diva Diaries."
2) Handel: Lascia ch'io Pianga (Danielle de Niese)
This piece has been recorded by numerous artists, but I really enjoy listening to this track because I set out with a very real purpose when recording it: to create the atmosphere of the story behind this aria and pour those emotions into the microphone into the track. I'm proud that I put my all into it.
3) Anton Dvorak: Symphony No. 8 First Movement (Yehudi Menuhin)
Dvorak is one of my favorite composers. I watched maestro Kurt Masur do a masterclass with Mannes College's orchestra and it was enlightening. It has remained forever one of my favorite pieces.
4) Bizet: Carmen, Entracte (Berlin Philharmoniker, Herbert von Karajan)
During a performance of Carmen at the Roman Ruins of Caracalla, I was walking in the gardens of the ruins at night, heading to the stage under the stars. This entracte was in the air, and it was a perfect moment: when music and nature synchronized in the night air. This track is forever associated with that memory.
5) Gia Nel Seno- Handel fragment (Danielle de Niese)
This is my favorite track from "Diva." I sang this to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Research and in various performances since, and it is a very moving piece. It's based on an excerpt from a Handel cantata called Lucrezia and James Morgan expanded it into this beautiful aria.
6) Mozart: Laudate Dominum: Vesperae de Confessore. (Danielle de Niese)
This is another track I really enjoy listening to. It represented a major growth step for me and it was the first time I had to record live with 25 members of a chorus standing directly behind me! Quite daunting at first, but once I got over my nerves we had a lovely time together and we enjoyed the music so much we all felt lucky to be performing it together!
7) Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K 488, Second Movement (Murray Perahia)
This sounds morbid, but I think I want this to be played at my funeral! It's so sweeping and epic and I adore Murray Perahia!
8) Schubert: 'An Die Musik' D. 547 (Elizabeth Schwarzkopf)
I love the nuance of Elizabeth Schwarzkopf's lieder and this is my favorite version of this beloved Schubert piece.
9) William Walton: Set Me as a Seal Upon Thine Heart (The Sixteen; Harry Christophers, conductor)
I adore this piece. I have performed Walton's songs, and they are so complex and charming at the same time. This choral piece is so beautiful and eternal. I had this performed at my wedding!
10) John Rutter: "What Sweeter Music" from Tenebrae (Christmas Album)
I was married very close to Christmas, so when choosing the music for the wedding, I wanted to have one piece that would remind people to celebrate Christmas in the spirit of love. Nigel Short of Tenebrae was conducting the choir of St. Bartholomew the Great for my wedding, and when he suggested this. I fell in love – I cry every time it gets to the penultimate phrase!
11) Morten Lauridsen: O Magnum Mysterium (Stephen Layton, Polyphony)
This track was a revelation. So many voices working together and it just builds and builds; I imagine myself conducting a choir singing this, and I would feel just so inspired!
12) Massenet: Manon (Quelqu'un...j'ai marqué l'heure du départ...Et je sais votre nom) (Jules Rudel; New Philharmonia Orchestra; Beverly Sills, Nicholai Gedda
I know this is unusual but the recording is very treasured and I adore this duet. I have practically mentally staged this role in my head and I really look forward (I'm waiting patiently) to the time in my career when i will debut this very special role.
13) Donizetti: L'Elisir d'Amore - Act 1: Caro Elisir! Sei Mio! E Lallararrala (two tracks) (1962 Glyndebourne Live recording- Royal Philharmonic)
For me, this is the way Donizetti should always be done. There is so much spirit poured into the disc from the stage performance. You feel the characters personality through and through. The timing of the recitative is perfect – singing as if speaking – no "tenorizing" and over-stretching phrases. Luigi Alva and Mirella Freni bring stunning timing and comedy at its best!
14) Handel: Guardian Angels, Oh Protect Me (Danielle de Niese)
This aria is one of my all time favorites. Handel visited this opera three times in his life and something always brought him back to this. I wanted to make it a secret track on my first album but we ran out of time! So I made sure to include it on "Beauty of the Baroque (my third album). It's how I prayed when I was a little girl – a beautiful prayer with wholehearted faith.
15) Ombra Mai Fu (Danielle de Niese)
I have never been so nervous to record something as the day I recorded this song – I didn't want to let the orchestra down with too many takes so I called my mom into the church to sit in the pew and keep me calm – and i sang the aria to her. Her quiet reassurance gave me all the calm I needed and we managed to capture the simplicity of the text without overstating it. Though my feet were firmly on the ground and attached to the earth, thanks to my mom, the feeling was pure heaven!
16) Walton: Dafne (Kiri Te Kanawa)
Perfect enigmatic Walton. I play acted this song out almost every day as a child. I used to wrap myself in the tuille of my canape bed and play Dafne trying to escape Apollo and then turning into a tree. I finally sang the song myself in my graduation recital as a young artist in the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist program. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was my idol as a child and still is. In fact, she is now my teacher!
17) Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress, Epilogue- Good People Just a Moment - John Elliot Gardiner recording.
Perfect Ending: I'm doing my first Anne Truelove right now for my role and house debut at the Teatro Regio di Torino in a new David McVicar production with maestro Gianandrea Noseda. Stravinsky is a genius and speaks to my soul and this debut is going to be the realization of a decade-long dream! Couldn't be happier!

SAINT Petersburg has long been a tourist favourite, but if this band of young Russian thrillseekers is to be believed, the best way to see the country's imperial capital is by hopping roof to roof.
Perched atop an officers' barracks in the heart of the city are Edik, 20, Alyona, 18, Dima, 28, and Nikolai, 35.
They chat breezily, laugh, smoke and take photos from their roost, dozens of metres above the street.
To get there they had to break into a nearby attic and hop across several roofs — nothing terribly complicated for experienced "roofers" such as themselves.
"The roofs, they are for those who want to see another Saint Petersburg, to see how beautiful it is," says Edik, who has been roofing since he was 14.
The pastel palaces and golden-domed churches of Russia's former royal city have become the roofers' elevated playground. Locked attics don't stand in their way.
The prize for those who scale rain gutters and pipes is an unsurpassed panorama of the city of the tsars — and the chance to post a trophy photo on favourite social media sites.
Daniel Netorte, 23, is a highly experienced roofer who rattles off Saint Petersburg landmarks like a mountain climber listing the peaks he has bagged: the golden spire of the Peter and Paul Cathedral, a cupola of Church of the Saint Saviour on Spilled Blood located on the picturesque Griboyedova Canal, the Winter Palace of the tsars where the Hermitage Museum is now located, even the local headquarters of the FSB, the successor to the KGB security service.
Roofing "is for me a way to explore the city, to have a bit of adventure, to test myself," says Daniel, a medical student at the University of Saint Petersburg.
"This appears closed," he says in front of a gate which leads to the courtyard of a six-storey building in the city centre. Daniel reaches into his backpack and out comes a ring of keys. An instant later the gate swings open and the same trick works for the door.
"Don't make any noise to disturb the neighbours who could call the police," Daniel whispers at the bottom of the stairs.
The last obstacle, a lock on the attic door, also cedes to Daniel's collection of keys. A moment later, he is on the roof.
Accidents happen
A cat-and-mouse game with the police is often part of the program. "Buildings like the Hermitage or historical monuments are, of course, under surveillance and the police will arrive within minutes of an alarm going off," says Daniel, more with an air of inconvenience than concern.
Experienced roofers know that they will likely spend only an hour in a police station before paying a fine of 300 rubles (AUD$8) and walking free.
Some exploits land roofers in a bit more trouble.
"The police came for me at four o'clock in the morning the night I climbed the roof of the FSB building," says Edik.
"We did that and posted pics on social networking sites, and there you go," he explains.
"We catch youths climbing onto roofs quite regularly," said one Saint Petersburg police officer on condition of anonymity.
Two months ago they nabbed three people on top of the National Library, said the police officer.
But roofers don't seem too preoccupied by the risks they run. Edik recounts the tale of a roofer who fell to his death several years ago. "Of course accidents happen, but we know what we are doing," he says.

Welcome to the first UK wide broadcast hire industry fraud and theft information site.
This site has been set up in order to facilitate the centralised sharing of information on fraudulent hires and theft in the Broadcast Hire Industry. Since the beginning of 2011 there has been an epidemic of theft throughout the industry, and it seems that the ability of the Police to catch the perpetrators and recover stolen equipment is limited.
Clearly, as an industry, we need to help ourselves, and one of the most effective ways of doing this is to share information. If you have been a victim of fraud, fill in our web form, and the details will be posted on this site. Also let us know if you have had equipment stolen in any other way, eg by robbery, etc. We particularly value pictures of fraudsters and copies of identity documents used in fraudulent hires, and all images received will be posted in the news section and the rogues' gallery.
We will never be able to stop fraud, but if we co-operate, and keep each other informed, we can at least make life more difficult for the crooks, conmen and rogues who infest our industry.
Please note: Fraud attempts should be reported to ACTION FRAUD. (For more details, see their website.) Stolen kit can also be listed here: http://www.azule.co.uk/report-stolen-kit/

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:07am
Inside Lacrosse has learned that Warrior and Under Armour will go to mediation in front of a Baltimore magistrate on Dec. 3 for settlement talks in Warrior's lawsuit against Under Armour, two former Brine employees and UA licensee Vertical Lax. According to Crain's Detroit Business, Judge Richard Bennett of the U.S. District Court in Baltimore last month blocked Under Armour from using confidential Warrior documents that were found on UA's computer system.
Warrior filed an original lawsuit against former Brine employee Neal Goldman in July, 2011, alleging that the current Under Armour Category Manager Men's Apparel violated his non-compete agreement after leaving Warrior/Brine in 2010. Warrior added former Brine employee Jenny Levy and her current employer Vertical Lax, and Under Armour this year, charging "wrongful appropriation of confidential information and trade secrets, intentional interference with business relationships, breach of employment agreement, unfair competition and violation of Maryland's Uniform Trade Secrets Act," according to a release send to Inside Lacrosse that also appeared on the website SportsOneSource.com.
The lawsuit alleges that Warrior's product line plan and some of Brine's team sponsorship agreements made their way onto Under Armour's computer system. Crain's reported that Warrior is seeking damages of at least $75,000, though one Warrior employee told IL it likely will be in the "multiple millions."
"We fully support free and fair competition but need to be vigilant in protecting our innovation and valuable intellectual property. Confidential documents such as the Warrior Lacrosse Line Plan are vital and comprehensive blueprints on our lacrosse business that have been developed and refined during our significant history serving the market," said Greg Cattrano, Warrior's General Manager of Lacrosse. "The 'Line Plan' contains such strategic and confidential information as projected volumes, factory cost information, and product margins."
Said Diane Pelkey, Vice President Global Communications, Under Armour: "While we do not comment on the details of specific litigation, we are hopeful that we can work together to resolve our fundamentally divergent views on this matter. Our on-field authenticity and long-term leadership in the athletic performance space speaks for itself. Under Armour will continue to pursue the lacrosse market, offering game-changing product innovation for all lacrosse athletes."
This is Warrior's third lawsuit pending against Under Armour. The other two, which will not be part of the Dec. 3 mediation according to a Warrior employee, allege that UA copied the design of the Brine Clutch lacrosse head for its Unleashed head, and also infringed on patents with its Under Armour Player glove. Both cases are still pending.

I run the Arsenal-themed football website http://northbankgunners.com I have all but finished a major redesign and I am now just cleaning up some loose ends. I am looking for a web designer to help me create a reveal toggle. To help explain myself, you can see the drop down, 'reveal', toggle on the home page under the heading 'Team News'. I am looking to create a similar effect for the excel spreadsheets on the following page: http://northbankgunners.com/?page_id=3564 Ideally, I would like the spreadsheets underneath '2012/13' and '2011/12' to drop down when clicked, condensing the page – as there will be many spreadsheets on that page.
If you have any questions or feel you can help me with this, don't hesitate to contact me either here or at firstname.lastname@example.com
Many thanks.
Could you not just use another toggle box and place the excel content within that? Then just create two columns through the page and place individual or listed toggle short codes underneath each other?
If you do not like the "look" of the one you use on the home page for the spreadsheet page just duplicate the element and change the styling or there are many plugins for toggles also

Re: D/L Ratio Questions for Cruising Boat
If you like Oysters, you might like the Najads, too. If you deal with the funkier side, Joubert designed some nifty deck salon boats.
Re: D/L Ratio Questions for Cruising Boat
here is a good site to plug all the numbers in to compare. some boats are already listed for convenience.
Sail Calculator Pro v3.0
Re: D/L Ratio Questions for Cruising Boat
I didn't re-run the numbers so I will assume you did the math right. Given this there are a few things to consider. D/L is not really so meaningful a number. Unless you are comparing two very very similar boats the numbers can be very misleading.
1) a boat that uses a lot of carbon fiber will have a much lower D/L than one that uses CSM. Simply because one is much heavier. But when you look at performance they will be almost exacally the same.
2) a boat with deeper draft can have a lower D/L than one with a shoal keel because less weight is needed to generate a given amount of righting moment.
3) a D/L of 150 is not really that low. Say in the light cruiser/racer catagory.
4) a boat with long overhangs will have a lower D/L even if everything else is the same. Since D/L uses LWL not sailing water line.
Finally while I know and respect the oyster, I don't have any familiarity with the Élan. But my thought is that Oyster must have been pretty impressed by the designer if they offered him a design job.
Re: D/L Ratio Questions for Cruising Boat
If you're willing to spend $350-400K you'll have a wide open list of candidates in the 45-50 foot range, especially if you are looking at used as well.
Even something like this:
2000 J/Boats J/46 Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
Probably best of both worlds.
Or Tayanas, larger Passports (47) Hylas, etc etc.
Those are my dream parameters!! .. tho like Marty I'd probably drop into the high 100s/low 200s as an ideal D/L... but please don't get hung up on those numbers.
Re: D/L Ratio Questions for Cruising Boat
You will not win on this, as some like myself seem to like 170-220 or so, other 300, some as little as 100.
This number also means squat in some regards. as a 30'r with a 180 will handle different than a 50'r with a 180. Same can be said for some of the other numbers one can dig up too. ie comfort ratio to mention one.
D/L Ratio Questions for Cruising Boat
Hey All,
Still looking for the ideal cruising boat as we plan our escape from Southern California. The goal now is to sail across the Pacific to French Polynesia and eventually circumnavigate the Pacific a la Hal Roth and I'm sure many others.
I should note that I've always been a seat of the pants type and have little knowledge of non-dimensional figures like D/L ratio but I do know that, while a heavy boat my be a slug in light airs, it's not going to get tossed around the way a light boat would be in bigger seas.
We're looking for a CC in the 45-50 foot range (bumped up from a former max length of 46 feet) and have really taken to the idea of a deck salon. If we can find a used Oyster we can afford, that might be the ticket.
Anyway, the Oysters and other cruising boats we've looked at tend to have D/L ratios between say 240 and 280+, which - based on my reading - seems to be a solid compromise between stability and speed. I'm not really interested in a full keel, long overhang design. A close friend owns a Mason 44 and, while it's beautiful, it's really not very maneuverable and is something of a chore to day sail or enjoy in light airs.
While surfing the web the other day, we came upon the new Elan Impression 494, which is beautiful, a heck of a lot more affordable than an Oyster - we could buy it new - and includes the option of bunk/passage berths right by the companionway, which would work well for us on passage.
The boat was designed by Rob Humphreys, who does the new Oysters, and is recommended for bluewater cruising. It's got plenty of tankage, decent handholds and the option for a full, closed transom instead of a gate/swim platform. I was shocked, however, when I did the D/L calculation to see the boat comes in at an ultra-light 155!
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is Elan full of BS when they say the boat will be comfortable in a seaway? Is the "bluewater" moniker just marketing hype from a company that knows full well that 99% of their customers will only day sail the boat? I may be able to test sail the boat but there's really no way to know how it'll behave in heavy seas or a big swell.
I'd rather not fixate on the Elan 494 specifically, as I'm more interested in the value of D/L ratio for bluewater use in general.
Is there a legitimate "lighter is better" school of thought?

Still, when the Bengals surged ahead with a defensive touchdown with about 4 minutes to go on Sunday, they had the Green Bay Packers right where they wanted them: with the ball in Rodgers' hands with the game on the line.
Right or wrong, quarterbacks are judged by two things: their success in the playoffs and their performance in clutch situations. In the clutch, Rodgers has fallen short an impossibly high number of times considering his prolific production.
According to FootballOutsiders.com's Scott Kacsmar, Rodgers is 5-24 when trailing in the fourth quarter (by one to eight points at any point in the fourth quarter) and 9-26 when he has the ball with a chance to win the game (ties and overtime are included in that stat).
Despite much more limited resumes, Andy Dalton (six) and Matt Cassel (six) have more fourth-quarter comeback wins than Rodgers. John Skelton, who is out of the league, had six game-winning drives in 2011 alone. Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, who were rookies last season, have five apiece.
And if that's hard to believe, there's this: According to Kacsmar's research, Rodgers entered this season with an 0-18 record when trailing in the fourth quarter to teams that finished their seasons .500 or better. That record is unofficially 0-20 now, though in theory the wheels could fall off the wagons in San Francisco and Cincinnati.
Brian Hoyer, Jake Locker and Ryan Tannehill — not exactly a murderer's row of quarterbacks — threw game-winning touchdown passes in the final minute of their games on Sunday.
Football, of course, is a team game. Rodgers led the Packers from behind in the fourth quarter against San Francisco, only for the defense to cough it up. Rodgers and the offense went three-and-out on the ensuing possession. The defense and special teams have ruined several of his comebacks.
Still, that comeback stat is an unsightly black eye for Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy. Not only have the Packers been a bad come-from-behind team, but they're 21-24 in games decided by one score (eight points or less) since Rodgers took over as quarterback in 2008.
On Sunday, the same unhappy ending had a new plot twist. The Packers are the league's ultimate assassins, with a 38-8 record in games decided by more than one score. After reeling off 30 consecutive points, Green Bay led 30-14 with 20 1/2 minutes to go.
This time, however, the Packers couldn't seal the deal. The Bengals' offense, practically comatose since the opening touchdown drive, blew through Green Bay's defense to make it 30-21. Rodgers threw interceptions on consecutive drives. The second one was a big one, with Green Bay driving for at least a field goal but Cincinnati instead taking advantage with a 95-yard touchdown drive to make it 30-27.
The Packers hadn't had three giveaways in a regular-season game since December 2010 but made it three in as many possessions on Johnathan Franklin's killer fumble.
Still, the Packers had a chance with 3:47 on the clock and two timeouts in their pocket.
By the two-minute warning, Green Bay had almost gotten midfield and still had the two timeouts. On third-and-8, Rodgers threw essentially a receiver screen to Jeremy Ross, who ran for the first down and out of bounds at the 43 with 1:50 to go. A perfect back-shoulder throw and big-time catch by Jordy Nelson gained 18, getting the Packers to the 25 with 1:40 to play.
But that's where the drive stalled. On first down, Rodgers went deep to James Jones but the ball was thrown so poorly that perhaps he was throwing it away. Before the snap, safety Taylor Mays backed off into deep coverage to help take away Jones, leaving Ross covered by defensive end Michael Johnson. It's a gain of at least 10 yards.
A gain of 5 to Nelson set up third-and-5 from the 20. Carlos Dunlap knocked the pass down, thwarting what would have been a first down to Randall Cobb, who was open at the marker against George Iloka. On fourth down, the 6-foot-7 Johnson beat left tackle David Bakhtiari's cut block to knock down a pass to Jones. Cornerback Adam Jones had good coverage but a good ball by Rodgers would have resulted in a first down.
Instead, the game was over and McCarthy, Rodgers and the rest of the Packers will have an extra week to stew over yet another failure in a close game.

Something Got Lost In This "Transport"
Although well set and well acted, with an outstanding performance by Morgan Spector as the sinister Uncle Boris, "Russian Transport" suffers from flimsy construct and a tepid presentation of such dark material. Everything seems to be too ho-hum rather than suspenseful. The characters are too trite. Where this could have been a superior drama recreating the plight of immigrants pursuing the American dream, and the lenghs they would go to achieve it, it ultimately ends up like a weak cup of chai or a watered down bottle of vodka.

OAHU WEDDING IN OCTOBEROctober, 2008 in Oahu, HI
"Our wedding was a dream come true! Getting married in Hawaii was a picture perfect setting and a memorable experience for not only us, but also our guests. October is a great time of the year in Hawaii, the weather was perfect and it is off-season in terms of flights/accommodations. Wedding Mapper was a great resource to share with our guests since our wedding events were all over the island and most of our guests were from the mainland. We would highly recommend using Wedding Mapper!"

This board rocks! The EEPROM is robust and loaded with options. The breakout board makes it super easy to setup (thanks for putting in the solder jumper for VCCIO). I used this with a 232 device that used RXD, TXD, CTS, RTS, DTR, and DCR pins and the unit worked flawless.
No public wish lists :(

Surrounded by female extras sporting similar hair-do and make-up, Christina Aguilera films 'Not Myself Tonight' music video.
The first look at Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight" music video has been shared through an on-set picture. It shows the singer wearing a black get-up and being sandwiched by female extras donning similar hair-do and make-up. The photo was posted on Twitter by a fan named AuthenticMac who, later on, took it down for unknown reason.
"Not Myself Tonight" is the lead single from Christina's June 8 release "Bionic". The song recently became the most added song at both Top 40 and Rhythm radio and will likely be performed during the taping of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on May 7 in New York City.
Of her soon-to-be-released album, Christina said, "I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matters ranging from playful to introspective. This allowed me to challenge myself by using my voice in ways I never had before. It also allowed me to push personal boundaries and explore what is possible for my future and me as an artist."

If you know the denominator(s), you could use Collect:
expr = a/i + b/j + c/i;
In[13]:= Collect[expr, i]
Out[13]= b/j + (a + c)/i
If you don't know the denominators, you could try:
In[15]:= Collect[expr, Union@Denominator[List @@ expr]]
Out[15]= b/j + (a + c)/i

Level 371 is the sixth level in Pudding Pagoda and the 91st ingredients level. To pass this level, you must collect 2 hazelnuts in 50 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
- Reaching the cake bombs on their sides is hard since it requires a vertical striped candy to hit four times on each cake bomb.
- It is also hard to make vertical striped candies, as well as other special candies, because there are six colours.
- Destroying one cake bomb can make it easier to destroy the others.
- The other ingredient will only dispense if the first ingredient is dispensed, or on the last move.
- The ingredients are worth 20,000 points,[1] which is equal to the one star target score.
- Create vertical striped candies, striped candy + wrapped candy or striped candy + colour bomb combinations to destroy the cake bombs.
Earning More StarsEdit
- The presence of six colours makes it hard to create special candies. However, it is less critical due to the need to use special candies to clear the lower halves of the cake bombs.
- The ingredients are worth 20,000 points (2 ingredients × 10,000 points per ingredient = 20,000 points). Hence, an additional 35,000 points for two stars and an additional 55,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
- The player is required to earn an additional 700 points per move (35,000 points / 50 moves = 700 points per move) for two stars and an additional 1,100 points per move (55,000 points / 50 moves = 1,100 points per move) for three stars.
- The lower halves of the cake bomb can only be cleared by using special candies because they are not connected to any candies. Their creation gives plenty of points.
- Clearing the cake bomb instantly drops the ingredients. However, it removes all candies including colour bombs.
- Once the first cake is cleared, it is much easier to clear the other cake bombs.
- Despite the rating of earning three stars as very easy, there is a way of reducing the chances of earning less than three stars. It is to spend far too many moves to clear any one of the cake bombs.

Feb 24, 2012 - StaffLARAMIER00;-- The Wyoming Cowboy's begins their final homestand of the 2011-12 season by hosting Boise State on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Arena-Auditorium.
Just two games out of fourth place in the Mountain West standings, the Pokes (18-9, 4-7) now face two critical home games, including a showdown with fourth-place TCU on Tuesday. The Broncos (13-13, 3-8) began the conference season 0-7 before rebounding to win three of their last four, but are just 1-9 on the road this season.
A Look at the Matchup
The Pokes have dropped their last four contests to sit sixth in the MW at 4-7 in the league and 18-9 overall, but are hardly getting blown out. Wyoming led New Mexico, Air Force, Colorado State and San Diego state at halftime, before falling in each contest.
Three of the four losses have come on the road and all four have been decided by less than 10 points.
New Mexico continues to lead the MW at 8-3. Wyoming's statistical numbers on the defensive end have slipped a little with the higher competition of the MW, but the Cowboys continue to keep opponents off the scoreboard.
UW has held 26 of its 27 foes below their season scoring average. The Pokes were fourth in scoring defense (54.2 ppg) in the latest NCAA rankings and 42nd in three-point field goal percentage defense (30.7). Both marks rank in the top three of the Mountain West. Offensively, UW is 12th in the NCAA in free throw percentage (76.1), 25th in turnover margin (+3.1) and 41st in scoring margin (+9.1).
After starting the conference season 0-7, Boise State has rebounded to win three of its last four contests to enter the weekend tied with Air Force for seventh in the MW standings at 3-8 in league play and 13-13 overall.
The Broncos earned a 72-61 win at Air Force on Feb. 11, nipped Colorado State 70-69 at home on Feb. 15 and earned another one-point victory, 65-64, versus TCU at home last Saturday. Most recently, BSU dropped at 75-58 contest at UNLV last Wednesday.
Boise State is 1-9 on the road this season, including 1-4 in the conference. The Broncos ranked sixth in the conference in scoring offense (70.0), and fifth in scoring defense (66.0), while placing third in turnover margin at plus 1.7. BSU hits the second-most threes per game in the MW at 7.8.

Stevenage 3-1 Nuneaton
Stevenage produced a stirring second-half comeback to earn a vital home win over Nuneaton.
Robin Trott's header, a close-range effort from Stuart Fraser and a Justin Richards curler cancelled out Carl Alford's opener for Nuneaton.
Stevenage almost took the lead when Richards' shot was blocked by goalkeeper Chris MacKenzie and the striker then hit a 30-yard effort over the crossbar.
The visitors hit back when Andy Ducros sent over an inswinging corner and Alford headed the ball home at the far post after 22 minutes.
Nuneaton almost doubled their advantage two minutes later when Mark McGregor hammered a shot against the woodwork.
Simon Wormull hit a weak shot from 35 yards for Stevenage but home goalkeeper Mark Westhead then had to keep out headers from McGregor and Daire Doyle.
Defender Fraser levelled for Stevenage from inside the area three minutes after the break.
Trott cemented the comeback when he headed home a corner from Wormull after 57 minutes and Richards grabbed the third Stevenage goal when he curled home a fantastic shot from the left after 68 minutes.
Jon Dyson headed wide as Nuneaton tried in vain to find a way back into the game.
Stevenage: Westhead, Travis, Goodliffe, Trott, Fraser, Wormull, McMahon, Jamie Campbell, Blackwood, Richards, Williams. Subs: Wilson, Opara, Mustoe, Gary MacDonald, Gray.
Nuneaton: MacKenzie, Thackeray, Angus, Dyson, Love, Doyle, Lavery, Peake, Ducros, McGregor, Alford. Subs: Wheeler, Tullin, Quayle, Turner, Daniel Williams.
Referee: G Sutton (Lincoln)

1) First, eliminate access to free K-12 public school education for future illegal aliens.
2) No more automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to 2 non-American parents.
3) Once both are done, I would give legal residency and work permits for qualified "Dreamers" who are not recent arrivals. No limits will be placed on the types of jobs they can apply for.
4) Have a guest worker program with Mexico limited to agriculture sector and those who want to work as nannies/maids.Why deny free K-12 public education to illegal aliens? So their parents wouldn't bother to bring them over to the states. Because it cost money to educate them for free. Besides, every country in the world provides free education to it's young citizens. Border states like California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico should not be burdened with educating Mexico's children. That is Mexico's responsibility. If foreigners want to educate their children in the U.S., enroll them in American private schools.
UPDATE: Mickey Kaus tweets:
I think you have 2 reverse a SCOTUS decision 2 do that (deny undoc. kids free k-12 educ). E-verify seems less harsh magnet-enderLess harsh, but also less effective.
You can't stop poor people from coming to the U.S. to work. You can only limit the types of jobs they can get. Most Americans do not buy the idea that preventing illegal Mexicans from doing agriculture work in the U.S. is "less harsh". Many admire these people for their willingness to take these difficult, low paying jobs.
What you can do though is stop subsidizing the free stuff for illegal aliens in the future (aka nationalizing Prop 187). Starting with free public education. Because every undocumented kid in public school today will be a future recipient of Dream Act II 15 to 20 years from now (I'm assuming DREAM Act I passes during Obama's 2nd term.)
The ideal immigration reform plan should be similar to Hong Kong's: Allow (poor) workers IN, but keep their children and non-working dependents/spouse OUT (unless said worker can afford private schooling and cost of living expenses for family)
UPDATE: I'd offer a pathway to citizenship to these people 20 years after getting their legalization, but it will depend on whether illegal immigration in the U.S. has dropped significantly since. But I would fasttrack naturalization for those who are outstanding young illegal alien achievers and those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
UPDATE: Hong Kong natives protest recent immigraton ruling on Filipino domestic helpers.
