Happy Thursday! Here are some cool links I've deemed worthy of sharing:
The Good
Nikol Hasler from the Midwest Teen Sex Show apparently now writes an advice column for Milwaukee Magazine. I know what you're thinking: Milwaukee Magazine has an advice column focused on issues of teen sex? MILWAUKEE is the progressive one who recognizes the sexual problems of teenagers, and all people for that matter, as truly important? WTF? Well, not quite. It's pretty general advice for the most part, but it's Nikol Hasler, so it's awesome. Good job, Milwaukee, good job.
Here is one column focused on sex and here is the most recent one about forgetfulness. Archives here.

Problem with achieving bladder control of a 2-year-old
Hello everyone. I'm Josephine. A have a 2-year-old girl named Cielo. I am having a problem with the bladder control of my girl. I have always been instructing my little girl to ask me or her nanny to accompany her to the lu or sit in the potty whenever she feels like urinating. But, she keeps on wetting in her underwear. I don't allow her to wear nappies in the daytime since her skin gets easily irritated. She has control in her bowel elimination though, and she does asks her nanny when she wants to go to the lu to defecate. However, she does not informed us whenever she wants to pee, so that she could do it in a proper place and in a right manner. I would gladly welcome some tips or insights on how should I properly guide my 2-year-old toddler so she can achieved bladder control. Many thanks!

Hello Josephine,
Potty training is usually easy when the child is truly ready. It can actually be done in a day. I potty trained my first child in one day, but she had ever sign that she was truly ready to do this.
Often times a child will not be developmentally ready to use the lu until they are 2 1/2 or 3 years of age.
I just read an article that stated that parents are ready to potty train their children when they can devote up to 3 months of daily encouragement to this task and my immediate thought was... why devote up to 3 months of daily encouragement in this area when you really don't need to. Encouragement is important... always... but my biggest concern is that when you try to train your child before they are ready, you set yourself up for frustration and you set your child up for failure.
So... having said that, I would really encourage you to first determine whether you child is truly ready to potty train. It's great that she seems to know how to let you know when she needs to have a bowel movement on the lu. But being fully potty trained is something that comes when the child is ready. It's kind of like this. When you were eager for Cielo to learn to walk, you could encourage her and help her as much as possible, but until she had the strength in her legs, a sense of balancing on "2" instead of "4" and the motor skills to coordinate moving one foot in front of the other, she simply couldn't do it.
Potty training is much the same way. If you wait for Cielo to give you cues that she is ready to use the lu, then you'll be able to train her quickly, and there won't be accidents each day, there won't be frustration and she won't feel like she's failed... yet again.
Indications that a child is ready to be trained would include:
- An ability to stay dry for 2 hours or more
- Get to the potty, sit on it, and get off of it - all on her own (no help)
- Show an interest in using the potty (if she's not showing an interest in using it for urinating, she may not be ready)
- Control the muscles responsible for elimination. Sometimes you can ask the child to stop the urine flow while she is urinating and this will just be another indication as to whether is is ready or not... can she control those muscles?
- Expresses a need to go, verbally. Does she tell you when she needs to go?
For me, my biggest indicator was that my daughter could go 2 hours with a dry diaper, she was very verbal and understood directions well, and she showed an interest in using the lu. Plus she was now 3 years old, so the day after she turned 3, I decided that was the day to potty train her.
So I put up gates in the kitchen where there was only hard floors (easy to clean up an accident), I set up a little table with a chair for her to sit at, and I gave her things to do at the table for at least an hour (this included play dough, coloring books, manipulatives, etc.). I also had a bathroom right off of the kitchen that we could use, but if you don't have this, you can set up a little potty chair for easy access.
Once she had things to do (that would keep her at the table), I took her diaper off, so she just had a shirt on, and I started giving her drinks that she liked. Juice is something she really liked, but I may have also offered her root beer, once she was tired of the juice. The goal was to get her to drink as much as possible during that hour, so that we would have plenty of opportunities for her to feel like she needed to go to the lu.
The first time, she started to wet on her chair, and she made an indication that she was getting wet, so I quickly took her hand and said, "oh, let's go potty on the lu", and I took her to the lu and she climbed up and sat on there. Even though it had all gone on her chair, the point was that she now knew what she should do next time.
So down she got, and I dried her off, and cleaned up the mess on the chair and floor (again, easy to clean up because I had it contained in the kitchen) and she started playing again as I encouraged her to drink.
Now - I did not leave the kitchen during this entire "session". I encouraged her to drink, I did some food prep, and as soon as she started to go again, we would "run" to the bathroom. By the end of our little session, she was going to the lu without having an accident on her chair. She was definitely ready, and I avoided all the frustration and extra time cleaning up messes that I would have had if I had tried to train her before she was really ready.
I would encourage you to use a nappy rash cream on her bottom if you notice that she gets rashes easily, but if you change her every hour, she shouldn't break out in a rash. Disposable nappies can sometimes be wet without us knowing about it. Cloth nappies definitely can cause more of a rash problem in children because the acid in the urine is right up against the skin.
Also, you can help Cielo's urine to be less acidic by making sure she is getting lots of greens in her diet, and reducing her sugar intake and simple carbohydrate intake (i.e. cookies, crackers, biscuits, muffins, cakes, etc.).
Please post back if you need ideas on how to get more greens in her diet and let me know if you found this information helpful.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate! I'm using another account, since I forgot the password of the first one. Thank you so much for such a comprehensive and very informative response. Precisely, this will surely be a great help in my dilemma. I am so happy to learn these bright ideas, which can be a great factor in the quality care that I could give to my Cielo.
You have mentioned about the greens in the diet, I am interested to know more about it. Thanks!

I agree with Kate that you should really reconsider if your child is ready for potty training or not. Though some two-year-old children are totally potty-ready, not all of them are prepared to make the transition. I totally understand wanting to get away from diapers, especially with a sensitive child. I have four of my own and two of them are still in diapers at 1 and 2 years old. Letting a child follow their own timeline is especially important when it comes to toilet learning. Have you tried cloth nappies? One of my children had a horrible time with rashes in disposables, which was totally cured by switching to cloth.

Hi Josephine,
You wanted more information on greens. An easy way to get more greens into the diet of a toddler is to make green smoothies. This helps to not only loosen the bowels a bit (avoiding constipation) but also adds a lot of good vitamins and minerals to help keep a child healthy.
Here's a fun video showing you a toddler's reaction to his very first green smoothie. Enjoy!

The third person in week who's been waiting to see what I think... I watched the fight several times and then I went back and watched his 4 previous performances to this. In his fight against Antonio Margarito I thought it was blatantly obvious he won and shocked it went to the decision as I thought Pacman would have put him away. Moving on to Shane Mosley I thought he bossed that fight to but didn't look as impressive as he did against Antonio but again he got the win, after watching the Marquez fight prior to the Bradley bout I saw a different Pacman all together, he didn't look great, he looked like he barely won but still got the decision, the Bradley fight is where he looked terrible, I thought he won or did enough to win by a few rounds but he lost, I argued I think with yourself over the result but I'm taking nothing away from the fact that over these fights Pacman looked tired, weathered and like he was struggling. Coming into the fight with Marquez I expected after lackluster performances I thought we'd see the old Pacman, the one that destroyed Hatton, an animal if you like. We didn't, we saw a Pacman who was rushing, he was getting hit and it showed in the third when he hit the canvas. Obviously he lost, and he got his by the right hand of death.
I will forever argue that Manny Pacquiao deserves to go down as the greatest pound for pound fighter ever as his accomplishments are in a league of their own, 8 world titles at 8 different weight classes. However, despite me thinking that if he took a sabbatical he could come back and hang with the best guys in the world and win titles no problem, I think he should retire, he looked like he'd had enough on Saturday night, especially after the knock down despite some flurries. Just from the opening 30 seconds of the first round with him throwing straight shots with his head down and getting hit cleanly made me wonder what I was about to see.
He is shit since he gave up partying and found god.... more proof that religion really fucks up peoples lives
I don't think all his political, tv work etc is helping these days, the more involved he is getting on that side of things, the worse his performances have become.
Killed the last great boxing match him losing though
Mayweather v Klitchsko anyone?
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Mannys always been open to being hit, if anything his head movement was better than in a lot of previous fights imo
I'd like to see them do it a 5th time, I think Manny would take it
Floyd fights dead obviously, which in a way is a good thing because the 12 round ud it will have always been would have been such an anti climax.

Manny is not even close to the p4p great RJJ was.
He looked ok on Saturday, just beat by a better man on the day

so rare when you see a clean one punch knockout like that in a fight between fighters of that caliber.
Outstanding KO.

Creative endeavors such as arts and crafts are often thought of as somewhat solitary efforts---the thing you do when you have some time to yourself. But in the case of Molly and Arielle, it was what brought two people together to form a strong friendship, and some very beautiful projects! I'm proud to say that I introduced the two of them about a year and a half ago. Though that pride doesn't compare to how impressed I've been with the fruits of their collaboration.
The first time I'd ever met Arielle, I was living in New York City. As owner of a book editing and proofing business, Arielle was kind enough to put me in her stable of editors. When I first met Molly, it was in Portland, Maine, when she became fast-friends with my wife in their MFA program. It came as no surprise to me, then, that shortly after Molly received her MFA, she also won a prestigious award for her short film, which featured her incredible paper cutout work.
A short time later, Molly was preparing to relocate to New York, and as a way of welcoming her, I gave her Arielle's name and contact info, thinking they might enjoy each other. Sure enough, they met and became not only friends, but collaborators. They both recognized an opportunity to combine their unique talents for paper: Molly's knack for shaping and cutting it, and Arielle's skills when it comes to putting pens to it. They immediately set to work on a calendar, and when they completed this project, they uploaded it to Craftsy where it got rave reviews from fellow Craftsy users. This year, they created another calendar, and again the response has been phenomenal.
That's why we decided to chat with Molly and Arielle, and share their stories and crafts with all of you readers of the Craftsy blog. Enjoy!
Molly, you come from a fine art background. Tell us a bit more about your life as an artist in terms of the kinds of art you make, mediums, etc.
I mostly work with cut paper, making animations as well as individual cut paper pieces. I have been thinking about how my work can fit into the world of illustration, lately. I would like to have a career as an artist that exists in both the illustration and fine art worlds, though one or the other might take precedence. Children's book artists like Maurice Sendak, Ezra Jack Keats (The Snowy Day) and others are really inspiring to me. I would like to illustrate children's books! I have often felt kind of embarrassed when people say that my work has a childlike quality to it, but I am embracing that a little more now. I think that it's actually a good thing, because I think I can make art that is aimed at kids or adults and it's basically the same aesthetic, I don't have to try to dumb it down or anything. I like to think that I can make images that are appealing to all ages of people, the way that children's book illustrations are still so appealing to me as an adult.
Arielle, you have a varied background, from poetry to editing to life coaching. Tell us more about that, and what kinds of creative things keep you busy these days.
My creative base is definitely in writing, and that being said, what inspires me at the most basic level is the sensual-spiritual-emotional nature of experience. Every experience has within it layers of response, thought, viscera and emotion and the aggregate of that is indefinable and certainly ephemeral—to catch some of that whole in words, paper cut-outs, any medium is like trapping lightning or lightning bugs. Yet the whole exists within retelling and re-expression, beautiful acts, and those become whole and complete worlds. Currently, I am working on a poetry manuscript called "The End of Suffering" and a sci-fi/fantasy novel called "Waiting for the Nightjar." When I coach people, I use mindfulness and kindness practices, bringing the person back to their own awareness and deepening their knowledge and relationship with themselves, others, and the world.
When you two met, how did you decide on calendars?
Molly: I started making calendars about five years ago, as a Christmas present for my mom and then for other people too, but I never tried to sell them until collaborating with Arielle. The idea for me from the beginning has been to create something that would have some motivational or inspiring words for each month of the year. When I read Arielle's writing, I thought it would be so cool to use her words and my images together. Her style is a lot different than mine in some ways. My images and words both tend to be pretty direct and simple, sometimes verging on cute, whereas Arielle's words are more layered and abstract. I really like the way that our two tones work together.
Arielle: I was thrilled when Molly asked me if I wanted to collaborate. I had seen her work and was blown away by its sophistication, insight and sparse, yet textural beauty. Molly has a way of taking complex ideas and boiling them down to a stunning, emotive image. She has such skill and talent and her images spoke to me deeply and moved me. I agree with Molly, our styles work together in an amazing way, like atonal harmony. Although our styles are different, we share a fundamental core of values and philosophy, so when images and words come together, it is like two ways meeting at the center. When Molly said we should make a calendar, I loved the idea of bringing uplifting, thought-provoking panels into people's homes and having it be part of the measure of a year, a measure of time that continues with people month by month.
Talk about the process a bit. Do you work independently, and then attempt to match up the images with the words, or do you collaborate on what kinds of words and imagery you'd like to have ahead of time?
Molly: Arielle writes the words first and I come up with the images afterwards. For the 2013 calendar we collaborated more from the start, talking about what kind of imagery we might use, and putting together kind of a story culled from lines of poetry she had written over time.
Arielle: We were excited to do something different than we did last year, and like Molly said, we talked about that and about how to approach this calendar, 2013. Molly came up with the idea of a narrative pulling the whole year together, and having a beginning, middle, and end. As we talked more and I shared the lines from the poems, Molly saw the setting of the ocean and the boat, and the story and characters emerged.
Talk about paper as a medium. How has that been important to conveying your work, and why have you chosen it as the only medium for your collaborations?
Molly: I like paper for a lot of reasons: I like that it skirts the line between two and three dimensions, I like how it is so strong and so weak at the same time. My major in college was printmaking, and the process of making a paper cut-out is very similar to a printmaking process. Because that is the medium I've been working in for a while now, it just naturally evolved that that is what I would use for the images for the calendars. But I would really really like to letterpress the calendars. The one thing that is hard for me is that we don't print them (we work with an incredibly kind printer named LeRoy Osborne at Keller Bros. and Miller, Inc. in Buffalo.) I would like for the finished products to have my hand in them in a more literal way.
Arielle: This is more Molly's area, but I will just add that paper is quaint and intimate. It is a physical object that can be held in the hand and looked at as an object, as a piece of art. I love that, and I love the physical presence of it. In an age of reality being more and more subsumed in a digital realm, paper is a reminder that we have bodies and exist in three dimensions. I love what Molly said too, about paper being between two and three dimensions. I also would very much like to have a more hands-on, intimate creative process and learn how to letterpress and then produce our calendars that way.
The 2012 calendar is long-gone, but you can still see how it all started with their Craftsy project! And if you're interested in integrating paper into your crafts, be sure to check out our popular online class, Paper Arts with award-winning paper artist, Alton DuLaney!
That's why we decided to chat with Molly and Arielle, and share their stories and crafts with all of you readers of the Craftsy blog. Enjoy!

Le tout Pasadena turned out for the 37th annual spring benefit luncheon, hosted by members of The Luminaires of the Doheny Eye Institute.
Luncheon tickets were a hefty $225, yet the ballroom of the Langham Huntington Hotel was filled to capacity on March 28.
During the pre-luncheon social hour, with nearly 300 shoppers bobbing up and down to buy baubles and bags at an array of boutiques, the scene resembled feeding time on the Serengeti.
Titled "Hollywood Revisited," the afternoon featured a musical celebration of Tinseltown's Golden Age, with a showcase of vintage motion-picture costumes amassed by Greg Schreiner, who emceed the show.
With an eye on the budget, benefit co-chairwomen, Shirley Goldsmith and Suzanne Sposato, purchased tall glass vases at a big-box store for the table centerpieces, which Jacob Maarse Florists filled with white calla lilies and hydrangeas. Guests then had the opportunity to buy them to take home. The bill o' fare included endive salad, surf 'n' turf, potato leek gratin, asparagus and, for dessert, blood orange gelato with berries.
Luminaires President Lucy Hilands reports that $80,000 was raised for Doheny's programs at its main USC Health campus as well as satellite locations in Arcadia, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Fountain Valley and Riverside.
In the crowd were four Doheny faculty members: Doctors John Irvine, Alfredo Sadun, Neda Shamie and Rohit Varma. Also seen were Niki Nikias, wife of USC President Max Nikias; Anne Ryan, whose husband Stephen Ryan is President of Doheny Eye Institute; Marissa Goldberg, Doheny vice-president and COO; Anna Ganahl, development director; and Kathleen Duncan, of the Doheny board.
Benefit Committee members from the Pasadena area included: Char Caret, Joan Bolton, Mary Cooper, Rita Coulter, Paddy Grant, Barbara Heublein, Liz Hezlep, Nancy Hulick, Marie Jones, Winnie Reitnouer, Susan Seitz, Liz Shonk, Dianne Thurman, Kathy Weber, Susan Wofford, and Kandi Wopschall.
Also on March 28, members of Soroptimist International of Altadena/Pasadena paid tribute to three outstanding local women: Lonnene Vreede, Vanessa Manjarrez and Lena Kennedy.
The occasion was the 13th annual "Live Your Dream" luncheon, held at Pasadena's Women's City Club.
This year's Woman's Opportunity Award, Soroptimist International's signature award, went to Vreede.
Given at the chapter level, the honor, which culminates in a national award, is presented to women who are overcoming personal difficulties and bettering their lives through education and skills training. The program provides women who are the primary wage-earners for their families with cash grants to further their education.
Six years ago, when Vreede and her family found themselves homeless, she became a participant in the Door of Hope program. Within six months, they graduated from the program; however, her husband has been unable to find a job and once again turned to drugs and alcohol. Currently, Vreede supports her family, which includes four children, as a case manager for the Door of Hope and is training to become a certified drug and alcohol counselor.
Altadena/Pasadena Soroptimists awarded her a $2,000 scholarship to continue her education. "Things are getting so much better," Lonnene said, "and the monetary award from Soroptimists is really going to help."
The Violet Richardson Award - named for Soroptimists' first president - is given to young women, ages 14 to 17, who are engaged in volunteerism within their community or school.
This year's winner, Vanessa Manjarrez, a student at Pasadena's Mayfield Senior School, has created and leads a service and social club for developmentally disabled adults at Villa Esperanza in Pasadena. Vanessa received a $100 Target gift card.
Kennedy added the Soroptimists' Ruby Award to her long list of laurels. This award recognizes women who have worked to improve the lives of women and girls through their professional and/or volunteer work.
A veteran community activist and political consultant, Kennedy is the founder and conference director of Southern California Women's Health Conference & Expo 2012. Her past accolades include honors from the Pasadena Playhouse and being named grand marshal of Pasadena's annual Black History Parade. Ruby Awardees traditionally donate their cash award to a nonprofit organization of their choice, and Kennedy designated her $250 award for the Pasadena Arts Council.

Another day, another baby -- in Glenville's 911
For the second time in as many days, a Glenville Police dispatcher had to talk a dad through delivering his own child. This time, Dispatcher JoAnne McPhail received the 911 call at 3:25 a.m. Saturday from Louis Cruz.
He said his wife Megan, 27, was about to deliver their baby. McPhail, using the guideline of EMD (emergency medical dispatch) and her training was able to talk Cruz through the delivery. He even had to distract his other son by having him go look for a Ninja Turtle in his room. He tied off the umbilical cord with a shoelace until medical help arrived at his Spring Street home.

Straighten images in Photoshop CS6
Posted by Vikrant in Creative Cloud on July 27, 2012
It is pretty easy to straighten images in Photoshop CS6. The new and improved Crop tool lets you straighten images as well.
- Select the Crop tool.
- Click Straighten from the control bar on top.
- Draw a line along an edge that should have been straight. For example, draw a line along the horizon, or perhaps the edge of a building. Photoshop will automatically rotate the image by the right amount, resize the canvas, and show you a live preview of what the final image will look like
- Press Enter/Return to commit the change.
Note: If you want the option to revisit your decision about the crop, uncheck Delete Cropped Pixels in the Control bar. Enabling this option will perform a non-destructive crop.

Here are some common issues, and questions to ask the school principal or vice principal to find out how good the air is in your child's school.
Issue No. 1: Unsanitary conditions can attract insects and vermin, leading to the use of pesticides, which contain hazardous chemicals.
Questions to ask: Is trash removed daily? Is food kept in the classroom overnight?
Issue No. 2: Carpet, rather than hard floors, contains moisture which attracts dust mites and can promote the growth of mold. Allergens such as pollen, dust and animal dander can be hard to clean out of carpet.
Questions to ask: What type of flooring is in the classrooms and libraries? How are they cleaned, and how often?
Issue No. 3: Animals in the classroom can aggravate asthma and cause allergic reactions.
Questions to ask: Are pets kept in the classroom? Are they kept near ventilation systems (which could circulate fur and dander)? Even if asthma and dander are less of an issue: Are cages cleaned regularly?
Issue No. 4: Some solvents, inks, glues, varnishes and paints used in arts and crafts emit toxic chemicals.
Questions to ask: Are the supplies used non-toxic? Are they stored in tightly sealed containers?
Issue No. 5: Science experiments in high school often require toxic substances.
Questions to ask: How well is the science lab ventilated? Where possible, are diluted substances used? Are the substances stored outside the class?
Issue No. 6: The dust from chalk can cause asthma symptoms, and whiteboard markers can emit volatile organic compounds.
Questions to ask: If there are blackboards in the classroom, is low-dust chalk used? In the case of whiteboards, are the markers low-VOC? Could an overhead projector (with odourless markers) or a Smart Board (computerized whiteboard) be used instead?
Issue No. 7: Locker rooms, with their potential for humidity, standing water, and damp, dirty clothing, can be breeding grounds for mold. Also, disinfectants must be used, but appropriately.
Questions to ask: Are exhaust fans used to remove moisture? Are chemical cleaners and disinfectants used when the rooms are not occupied, and sprayed on surfaces, rather than in the air?

Think College aimed at rural high school students
High school students in South Carolina's rural areas don't always get the same encouragement to attend college or have the same exposure to college access information as do students in metropolitan areas.
Derrick Huggins
That's why the University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions is launching a new program called Think College that brings Carolina to the students' own communities.
"This started with an idea of presenting college information at Bright Light Baptist Church in Heath Springs [Lancaster County] where I grew up," said Derrick Huggins, associate vice president for transportation.
"I approached the admissions office for help, and they really liked the way the event turned out in June. Now they're talking about holding them all over the state."
The inaugural Think College session attracted 32 rising 9th through 12th graders, as well as parents and church members who encouraged the students to pursue a college education.
Dawn Staley
Head women's basketball coach Dawn Staley made an appearance, but she didn't talk sports. She reminded the students that sacrifices are often necessary to move ahead in life.
"In the past, we've visited high schools in rural areas, but this approach with Think College is a little more personal," said Tomeika Banks, coordinator for multicultural recruitment and outreach in admissions. "When students hear people from their own community talking about what it means to go to college and how it can change your life, they listen a little more, I think."
Think College's community approach allows plenty of people to get involved.
"It's refreshing to see so many people take an interest in young people's quest for higher education," said Suzanne Cruea, an admissions office staffer.
Admissions office staff members look forward to continuing their partnership with Huggins in developing this event. They plan to invite other special guest speakers from USC to participate in future Think College events, including inspirational athletic personalities, faculty, and staff.
Ray Tanner
Baseball coach Ray Tanner has committed to participating in the program this fall. Representatives from USC's TRIO Programs, which focuses on first-generation college students, will join Tanner.
"We want to track these students and perhaps do follow-up sessions with them to talk about SAT preparation, financial aid workshops, and how to prepare a college application that reflects all that they've done," Cruea said. "We've also talked about going back to some of these communities every three years to follow up on the students who were rising high school freshmen and will be rising seniors."

Our domains, which reside in a shared hosting service, are constantly appearing in blacklists like this one: http://cbl.abuseat.org/
This results in emails being blocked and lost. We have notified our hosting provider, they have (supposedly) taken extra measures and have done several unblock requests. Only to return back to blocked a few hours or days later. They finally gave up and told us that this is a common problem with shared hosting. Apparently, some forms of mass email can be perceived as spam by these blocklists, so they end up blocking the whole server. Our only real solution is to move to dedicated hosting or VPS, and have our own unique IP.
Question... is this normal indeed? Is our provider being truthful, or simply incompetent to deal with the real problem?
Thank you
If the host did not take proper precautions regarding their email handling then this is very sure to happen. I see this as incompetence.
Who is your host? I've read many, many complaints about this type of thing and, sadly, I don't think there is much that can be done by hosts because of the way the spam marking and blacklisting process works. I think it is downright stupid to block an entire IP address because of alleged spam. And by alleged, I mean that some email providers allow customers to flag emails as spam even if they are not spam, such as someone who subscribes to an email newsletter and instead of unsubscribing hits the spam button which can lead to the provider blacklisting the IP address. You will read a lot of complaints about AOL doing this and they are not the only one.
No, I would not say it is incompetence on the part of the host. I would say it is the fault of email providers for resorting to a knee-jerk reaction of blacklisting entire IP addresses regardless of the actual sender of the alleged spam and not taking the time to determine if something is actually spam. If the IP is blacklisted, I don't suppose something like an [SPF record or [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys_Identified_Mail"]DomainKeys (DKIM)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework) would help in that case, would it?
Some hosts offer dedicated IP addresses for a cost of $2 a month or so. Maybe you could look into that.
I don't agree with not much can be done. You've already pointed to a few things that can help but here is my list:
When a host allows their IPs to get messed up then it means they can't re-purpose them easily plus they deal with all the support headaches.
One of the shared hosts that I have used for a site makes use of all these things and the shared server public I.P. has not been blacklisted - since I started hosting there - in the last 5 years .
All hosts will run into blacklist issues from time to time. And some of the blacklists can be very difficult to work with. But any experienced and good host will have a well defined method of dealing with this, and any blocks you encounter should be rare.
Your condemnation of hosts is mildly misdirected as blacklisters (like SpamHaus) simply blacklist entire IP blocks without regard to the consequences to all the non-spammers using that host. IMHO, these people are incompetent and only serve to make matters worse, not better.
Unfortunately, that will do absolutely no good! I'd had a dedicated IP address and the host (Site5) refused to configure their EXIM to allow me to send e-mail from my dedicated IP address. I had to leave Site5 to get away from the EXIM's IP address to get away from the blacklist problem.
[aside]I understand that Ben (a SitePoint member) took over at Site5 and improved things immensely but I can't verify to what extent.[/aside]
This is a major problem which can only be resolved by having your own EXIM (VPS or dedicated account) unless blacklisters simply blacklist blocks (like SpamHaus).
I too had email problems because apparently another site on my server got hacked and used to send mass emails. My host switched me to a different mail server, and the result was that some of the domains that had blocked me before were now accepting my emails, but new ones were rejecting them. I guess another site that had another similar problem had at one time been using the new mail server. I think it took me three tries to find a server with a "clean" IP.
And a few weeks from now that IP may appear on another blacklist. If any of the things mentioned by ServerStorm above are real solutions to the problem, are enforceable on the hosting clients, and can be done without too much inconvenience, then I think people are going to have to start lobbying their hosting companies to put them in place. I've read a lot of complaints by people on many different hosts (including mine) about their outgoing emails being blocked because the IP appeared on some blacklist. It is not an isolated issue. If there is a relatively simple way to prevent this, then the hosting industry is going to have to move that direction.
With shared and reseller hosting, there are other people using your mail server. This means that one spammer can get everyone on that IP address blocked by a blacklist.
A dedicated IP does not help with emails being blacklisted. Email always uses the shared IP, even if you buy a dedicated IP.
It is obvious the blacklist is there for a reason. Your host did not have preventative measures in place to stop abuse of their services which now results in the entire server being blacklisted. Your only option is to really find a new host that is not blacklisted. Your current host's servers are blacklisted so there is no recovery option.

The first professional soccer player in North America to come out as gay will be front-and-center at the Utah Pride Parade on Sunday, June 2.
David Testo, who came out in November 2011, shortly after his contract with the Montreal Impact expired, is the grand marshal of Utah's second-largest parade. Testo, a North Carolina native, was a good 18 months ahead of Jason Collins, the NBA player who recently announced he is gay.

The Maroon 5 singer admitted that he DID in fact ask Behati Prinsloo's father for his blessing before he proposed to his now-fiance.
STOP, could he be more perfect? In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, the singer revealed that this was not easy for him. "I don't want to talk about it, you know how I am, but yes, of course I did. I had to. It was extremely nerve-wracking," The Voice coach admitted.
AW, don't be modest! Of course, the Victoria's Secret model's father said yes! The couple is set to wed this summer in Mexico.

Japan Plans Curvaceous Maglev Train to Connect Osaka and Tokyo by 2045
Jason Mick
November 29, 2012 5:23 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Phys.org)
Train will speed along at 311 mph, will carry 900+ passengers
Maglev trains represent a perplexing puzzle to civil engineers. While the price of entry
can be much higher
than traditional rail based trains, maglevs -- trains held aloft by powerful electro magnets -- experience no friction, meaning they cost far less to maintain.
But the high construction costs have meant that only two commercial maglevs are currently in existence. Now the home nation of one of those two high-tech rail systems -- Japan -- is dreaming of a far more ambitious maglev line connecting Tokyo and Osaka with trains travelling safely at 311 mph.
Japan's current maglev system is only 8.9 kilometers (5.9 miles) long, and is located in Aichi, near the city of Nagoya. Dubbed "Linimo", the line operates at a "lowly" cruising speed of 62 mph. The line has struggled with losses in recent years and cost over $100M USD per km to construct.
But those struggles have not swayed Central Japan Railway Comp. (JR Tokai) (
), which
plans to deploy
the sleek Series L0 prototype in 2027. The front car will stretch ninety-two feet, with over half of that length devoted to an aerodynamic nose cone. It will haul 14 carriages, each with 68 passengers in rows of four seats, with the exception of the last carriage, which seats only 24 (for a total of 908 passengers).
The first engineering mockups of the train were unveilled earlier this month.
The Series L0 Train [Image Source: Phys.org]
The train is planned to initially travel between the Shinagawa Station in central Tokyo to Nagoya, cities separated by roughly 218 miles on Japan's eastern coast. Today the trip would take four hours by car or 90 minutes on the
fastest rail-based bullet trains
, but travelling at a blistering 311 mph, the next-generation maglev rail is expect to deliver passengers there in just 40 minutes.
JR Tokia plans to eventually extend the system to connect to Osaka by 2045. Lead developer Yasukazu Endo comments, "Through the test runs, we will make final checks to ensure that commercial services are comfortable."
Long a leader in high-speed rail, Japan has recently seen
fierce competition
from its rival, China. China currently owns the only other active commercial maglev system in the world, a line in Shanghai. China is moving aggressively forward with its
high speed rail expansion plans
, despite the embarassing setback of having to
scale back its line speeds
record paces
due to allegations of contractor corruption leading to shoddy construction.
The U.S. is currently
pondering a maglev system of its own
, but such plans remain in their early infancy, with few large commercial backers.
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

Luke Bryan names next album
Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Luke Bryan has decided to let his current single serve as the title track to his new album. The country star says he's naming his next studio effort Crash My Party because he feels the song provides a good example of what fans will find on the disc.
The singer explains that the song Crash My Party is unexpected, and not what you think it isafter hearing its name. He says he believes the album has similar qualities, and fans will definitely hear some surprises. Luke promises he's not changing his sound, but he's showing a little bit deeper, different side of himself in his music.
Crash My Party, which is Bryan's follow up to 2011's Tailgates & Tanlines, will be in stores on August 13th.

Unlocked phones aren't cheap, no matter what side of the os war you're on. And cheaper unlocked smartphones will, make no mistake, be HOT by Christmas 2013.
As for the iPad mini, it is totally expected that Apple would make "mini" tablet priced higher than there competitors. Hence, In the mind of many, it has more value. And yes, people are still buying the regular sized iPad. Why wouldn't they?
Does anyone not notice the fact that it's $99 ON CONTRACT in AMERICA. What about the rest of the world? Also, since it's in contract it's not really $99 is it? A free phone isn't free if you're paying upto $60 a month for it. Look at the UK...it costs £529 for an iPhone 5 16 GB where it only costs them $180 to make so £110-120. Anyone who doesn't see apples theft is blind.
Apples known for quality I can't see them making a model specifically targeted for people looking for a cheaper device. Financially and physically, the prices are great at what they are now.
Who cares really..? They built the device and I paid for it
I disagree with the article as well. Apple has already created a more affordable solution so consumers can have a chance to own an iPhone and the same for the iPad. I don't know about a wider screen size, but Apple definitely needs to change to design of the iPhone because a few new features isn't going to cut it much anymore. While they still hold the crown to being leaders in innovation, their competition is swiftly catching up. I don't know if this is on purpose (I mean who does?) or maybe it's time for Apple to make a few changes.
I honestly doubt they would make a cheaper or wider iphone. It would be super nice if they made a wider one but other than that cheaper seems useless. Just saying.
Thank you claustin. I felt like I'm the only one who sees this. If Apple make a new "cheaper" iPhone it would still have to have lesser hardware than the "top of the line" iPhone. Hence, why bother when you already produce exactly that. There is no reason or logic behind it except to make critics happy and give them validation. It would be releasing the iPhone 4 and 4s with differ names and nothing more.
Consumers have already proven a bigger screen is not a must. When it's difficult to pull from you pocket it losses ground. When the screen is so large is can't help but break instantly when dropped it losses ground. When they can use half the apps available in the market it losses ground. When it can't get the Android updated b/c Samsung or whoever else doesn't want to support it and you have to get a new phone it losses ground. Fix these and maybe we'll see some value!
So tired of people talking about how Android is taking over. They have a ton of phones on the market. A huge chunk of those phones a junk free phones. The kind of things frugal people who don't care about Android or software and are just replacing there old flip phone. If an Android fails huge growth you blame Apple goats and not look internally at where the software or phones lack.
I have friends that would have never spent the money for the iPhone before and now that they have the free model they jumped on it. These are people who had Android before only b/c there was no other option and now there is. Doomsayers have been knocking Apple since day one.
Now T-Mobile will have the iPhone which will gain once again in iOS growth and drop a ton of clunky "out dated out of the box" Androids. All the best features are limited to a single phone type and have little to do with Android aside from the ability to run the feature. Great, I can bump phones with you and send you videos ONLY IF you have the same phone. FAIL.
"low-price, contract-free iPhones have been rumored about since the first model arrived in 2007"
Those are the subsidized prices. A $200 unsubsidized device would make a killing when T-Mobile starts selling iPhones next year.
In the empirical, not open to debate, side of the issue - system failure (crashing) is common in the Android world, nonexistent in the stock iOS world. 'Thems' are the facts, "my young patewan learner".

I have two boards I am trying to repair and both have decks with soft spots and de-lam that need to be fixed. I did not want to go about it by injecting resin and than having to redo it in 6 months. I have done some glass work in the past, but only minor stuff. I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done, but I was wondering if anyone could possibly lend some advice or pointers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Banks need to get their massive foreclosure backlog off the books. There are over 368,000 cases in Florida. I get that.
Getting these properties into the hands of families who can afford them, that is what I want to see. It's needed to jump start the economy, and no one wants to see the banks out of the neighborhoods more than me.
But it can't be allowed to happen on the backs of other homeowners plain and simple. Lenders have tried to thrust these homes back onto the market before, and that's why they just shelled out $25 billion.
The banks were penalized for being unethical, untrustworthy and fraudsters, and it doesn't look like they have learned their lesson.
Yet a series of proposed bills now making their way through the Florida House and Senate offer banks unjust control over the foreclosure process, all in the name of getting abandoned homes back on the market.
The Senate version, which would create the "Florida Fair Foreclosure Act", was passed by a judiciary committee earlier this week by a 5-2 vote. There is a similar bill making their way through the House.
But are they really 'fair' to homeowners? Absolutely not.
These bills are being pushed by banking industry shills. They make it easier for lenders to foreclose, and allows them to do so faster.
Have the politicians in Tallahassee learned nothing from the settlement? The $25 billion isn't even in the mail, yet some are back to their old tricks, turning a blind eye to the plights of their constituents and denying them due process.

Ballet West launched its Family Series last year with an original ballet version of "The Little Mermaid."
This year the series continues with "Aladdin," adapted from the original One Thousand and One Arabian Nights.
Choreographers Pamela Robinson-Harris and Peggy Dolkas promise plenty of twists and turns away from the well-known Disney animated film.
The Family Series should appeal to younger audiences with earlier start times, shorter performances and a plotline specifically for children.
Dancers from the Pre-Professional Trainee program, Ballet West II, and students from the Ballet West Academy make up the combined cast of more than 30 performers.
"This is a chance to showcase these dancers and give them stage experience," said Robinson-Harris, the company's ballet mistress. "And equally important, it is a chance to integrate ballet and family programming."
Dolkas said to expect action, sword fights, humor and dazzling costumes. "David has really outdone himself this year," she said, referring to Ballet West costume production director David Heuvel. "I think he really has fun coming up with designs for the animal costumes and there are lots of exotic animals in this production."
Robinson-Harris said the University of Utah theater department's Actor Training Program shared students Samantha Orr and Jorden Saxton for the production. They will introduce each scene and "let the action unfold through dance."
Ballet West's Family series features 'Aladdin'
When • Saturday, April 6, 2 p.m.; Monday, April 8, and Tuesday, April 9, 7 p.m.
Where • Capitol Theatre, 50 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City
Tickets • $15, $25 and $35; available through artttix.org or 801-355-ARTS.

Why are you in admissions at Gonzaga?
Almost my entire career has been in education because I believe strongly in its transformative power. Education changes our world, our communities, and individuals. At Gonzaga, the promises of a high-quality education are delivered, and I see students become better versions of themselves during their time here. I love that working in admissions at Gonzaga allows me to connect students with a four-year experience that will change their lives, and their communities, for the better. It is an amazing experience that fosters life-long learning, a passion for social justice, and a network of friends who will be like family.
Where is your favorite place on campus?
I love walking into College Hall every morning. It's a beautiful building that holds a tremendous amount of Gonzaga history. It's also a place of community, where I run into students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
What is your favorite thing to do in Spokane?
The balance of city life with outdoor recreation is what draws me to Spokane. A favorite activity involves walking along the river into downtown Spokane and beyond, to Riverside State Park. I would follow that up with a visit to the Kendall Yards neighborhood. There are some fantastic new restaurants there, and they have beautiful views of the river and downtown Spokane.
What is one piece of advice you have for prospective students?
This is Gonzaga-specific, but if you are interested in GU then please connect with us! The more we know about you, the better we can educate you on opportunities and programs that match your interests.

title: Platypus Hunts with "Sixth Sense"

transcript:
Underwater, this ungainly creature has a sixth sense that is hard to beat.
Australia's platypus has the tail of a beaver, webbed feet, and a bill like a duck.
But this is no ordinary bill.
It is a super-sensory organ laden with thousands of cells responsive to the electric fields generated by all living things.
So to hunt, the platypus closes its eyes, its ears and its nose, and lets its bill do the work.
Called "electro-location," it is thought the waving back-and-forth motion we see here helps the platypus to locate exactly where electric pulses are coming from.
The pulses are like neon signs advertising fast food.
And when one looks promising, the platypus digs away...all thanks to its sixth sense.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The San Fernando Valley has a broad range of international markets, but one stands head and shoulders above the others in terms of diversity: Sunland Produce. A shopper can easily lose track of time perusing aisles and freezer cases filled with imported foods from Russia, Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. It's the kind of place where you might see a bottle of Russian pear soda next to a bottle of Armenian golden walnut soda, a shelf below Peru's Inca Kola. The bakery aisle is a wondrous place with everything from pita breads and lavash to Russian Borodinsky bread and Riga Latvian rye. There's a full-service deli counter with a good selection of olives, deli meats and the best halvah we've ever had. Need cheese? There's everything from Cypriot halloumi and Georgian smoked sulguni to Bulgarian feta. There's a wine and beer selection, with Armenian, Lebanese and Russian beers among those available. Many of the products come from local dairies and bakeries, and the store has its own brand. Befitting the name, there is also a great selection of produce.
After the success of Maude (which last year earned our Best Restaurant in L.A. award), the world has been watching to see what Aussie mega-star chef Curtis Stone would come up with next. It turns out, Gwen does not disappoint. For the project, Stone brought his brother Luke over from Australia, and became the importer for some serious quality Australian beef that was hitherto unavailable in the States. Fronted by an old-fashioned butcher counter, the restaurant is like a gleaming art deco shrine to meat. On one side of the room, a glass case holds hanging carcasses and charcuterie; in the back of the restaurant, you can watch as animal parts cook over and around various kinds of flame in the open kitchen. The format is a five-course tasting menu, starting with charcuterie and salad, moving on to handmade pasta, and then comes the meat. You might get lamb cooked a variety of ways, or you can supplement the meal with a hunk of dry-aged Waygu. A flurry of vegetables complements the meat course, and the bright rusticism on display in these dishes might be the highlight of the evening. Gwen is not a cheap thrill, and tickets must be bought ahead of time. But, similarly to Maude, Stone has proven again that sometimes spending a silly amount of money on dinner is well worth it.
When a restaurant is built as part of the Broad, one of the most highly anticipated modern art museums in the West, it comes as no surprise that it, too, is a work of art. Otium is an eye-catching masterpiece that pleases your visual palate even before you've tasted chef Timothy Hollingsworth's playful edible creations. The building, designed by architect Osvaldo Maiozzi, is a cubic, modernist shell, and a designer consortium collaborated to outfit it both inside and out. The Studio Unltd firm teamed up with House of Honey to create a modern rustic space. Handmade glass light fixtures by Neptune Glassworks dangle from above, shedding a glow on the yellow wall tiles from Heath Ceramics. The bright colors juxtapose with reclaimed wood from District Millworks, while custom pieces by chef/furniture maker Chris Earl make for comfortable seats in which to watch chefs in the stunning open kitchen. There, they use herbs and flowers from the rooftop garden. And it wouldn't be an art-museum restaurant without an enormous Damien Hirst fish mural on the outside wall, so there's that, too.
The exceptional food served at Providence would be enough to earn Michael Cimarusti the title of best chef in the city. The fact that he brought us L.A.'s best New England–style seafood house with Connie & Ted's only ups the stakes. But Cimarusti's dedication to sustainable seafood, his efforts to educate the public about the problems facing our oceans, and his new seafood shop, Cape Seafood, give us even more reason to sing the dude's praises. Now, whether you're in the mood for an amazing lobster roll or looking for a beautiful piece of fish to take home and cook yourself, Cimarusti's got you covered. The best evidence for his talent, though, remains the elegant, measured, gorgeously presented food at Providence, L.A.'s most special of special-occasion restaurants.
Salazar, the wonderfully smoky-smelling new taqueria from chef Esdras Ochoa, has officially put Frogtown (aka Elysian Valley) on the map as one of L.A.'s favorite new dining destinations, thanks to mesquite-grilled meats, homemade tortillas, tequila-heavy bebidas and lots of outdoor seating. But what makes Salazar's patio stand out in a city of many patios is that the entire restaurant is, essentially, a patio — so much so that while sipping a margarita, one might wonder what exactly the owners would do should it rain. The indoor portion of Salazar consists of the bar and only a handful of tables, a small part of the large, unique space. Even the entrance and host area is located outdoors on a gravel lot. Built on the grounds of a former auto body repair shop, the sprawling 100-plus-seat outdoor dining area is replete with trees, succulent landscaping and enough umbrellas to keep the sun-averse shaded. And after the sun sets behind the L.A. River, as the sky turns from blue to pink and stars begin to sparkle overhead, stay for one more cerveza because Salazar stays open late.
Every year, when considering this award, I sit back and think through the last 12 months of meals. Which was the most memorable? Delivered the most pleasure? Made me giddy with joy? And once again, I have to admit — that meal happened at Trois Mec. I'm still dreaming about a bowl containing tender chunks of bay scallop and foie gras swimming in a matsutake mushroom and miso broth, which was flecked with pickled sunchoke and hazelnut oil. Over the summer, the restaurant's vegetable dishes seemed to draw inspiration from some of the most exciting cooking happening in Paris, with elegant, playful takes on asparagus and citrus, and a chanterelle crudite that was at once foresty and fresh. As the restaurant's chef/owners Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo march on to ever more crowd-pleasing projects, it's nice to know that their most personal little fine-dining spot retains all of its weird magic.

Strasbourg, 23 October/octobre 2012 CCJE(2012)7
Proposals of amendments to the draft Opinion No.15 of the CCJE by the CCJE members
Propositions d'amendements au projet d'Avis n°15 du CCJE par les membres du CCJE
Comments recieved from:/ commentaires reçu de :
In relation to the draft opinion No 15 of CCJE, first of all congratulations are in order for the excellent work done by the drafters. The text is quite readable and is it well thought out. It follows that my comments are very few.
(i) The word "judges" in par 6 should be avoided in relation to jurors. They fall under a completely different category of their own and do not ever act as judges at least in the common law systems. The sentence might read: "Jurors do not sit in all criminal cases and their role is quite different from that of the presiding judge or judges."
(ii) I am not sure that the idea expressed in par 16 is entirely correct. Although specialist judges do have expertise in some area of the law and have their own specialist tools and concepts (I would hesitate to call them "peculiar"), they always work within a clearly defined basic legal framework, which is common to all judges. By this I mean that whatever the specialist field if the case has to do with contractual matters, the same contract law concepts, common to all, will apply.
(iii) The idea expressed in par 20 is a bit awkward. On the one hand joint training saves money and resources and on the other, we should credit judges with more impartiality and more self-resistance to undue influence.
(iv) In par 23, there should be a clear distinction between specialist and special courts. Special courts sometimes set up to deal with individual cases or terrorist activities that fall outside the general system of justice should be prohibited at all costs.
(v) In par 26, it would be better to delete the introductory words "In principle".
(vi) I discern a possible conflict between the last sentence of par 30 where it is stated that it is difficult for judges to master all legal areas with par 26 where it is said that judges "..should be capable of deciding cases in all fields."
(vii) I wonder whether the second sentence of par 36 would be easy or even desirable to put into practice. Once you are a specialist judge in trademarks, for example, it is not easy to move into criminal law.
(viii) Is "non jurist judges" in the heading of par 43, an apt term? In addition, perhaps we should use the words "lay judges" instead of "non lawyers" in the first sentence of par 43.
(ix) In par 60, maybe we could insert the words "or known" right after "transparent" at the last line. Also the first "that" in the last sentence should read "than".
(x) In par 66, the word "however" should be deleted so that the second sentence starts with "In the interests….".
1. The very first impression after review of the Opinion is that it was drafted in the spirit of support of so called generalist approach to the specialization of the judges. Such spirit derives from number of paragraphs but especially in paragraph 19, 23, 38 and 45. To my mind, the Opinion should not be regarded as supporting either specialized courts or generalist courts – it should only describe the situations concerning both of them. I personally strongly support specialist courts (or chamber) system and would be against of any preference in regard to generalist court.
2. Paragraph 7 should be added by phrase "as well as status of judges" taking into consideration the trends from number of governments to attack status of judges.
3. In last sentence of paragraph 8 the word "knowledge" should be followed by words "and/or experience", taking into consideration the significance of the experience gained by specialist judges.
4. In paragraph 17 the second sentence after words "smaller courts" should be flowed by word "may", because otherwise the sentence is too affirmative covering all small courts which is not always a case.
5. In paragraph 19 the word "the purpose" should be deleted because otherwise there is an impression that someone creates the specialized courts for the sole purpose to separate the judges from the rest of judiciary which might not be a case.
6. Second sentence of paragraph 20 should read as follows "Nevertheless, such proximity should not influence judicial independence and impartiality and should not expose judges to a risk of orientation of their case-law".
7. I do not agree with paragraph 22. Is it unacceptable if the specialist judge shares his/her opinion with the colleagues without presenting his opinion to the parties? Why is it necessary that the judge shares his/her opinion with the parties? Maybe there are some problems with wording in this paragraph?
8. Paragraph 23's idea is a bit unclear – if the specialist court is established it will by all means require material and human resources but why is it a danger for other courts? Further elaboration on this paragraph is essential.
9. In paragraph 34, the third sentence the words "objective necessity" should be followed by word "or law" in order to fully cover the topic of prioritization of cases. In some jurisdictions it is the law (Act of Parliament) that sets priorities among the cases.
10. The last sentence of paragraph 36 should read as follows "However, such mobility and flexibility subject to judge's consent should not endanger the principle of unremovability of judges". This is to ensure that the judge's specialization is not changed without his/her consent.
11. In paragraph 38 the word "only" should be deleted because the sentence becomes too affirmative.
12. I strongly disagree with the ideas expressed in paragraph 45 and consider that it should be either deleted or rephrased in a manner that allows specialization in appeals level as well. In many jurisdictions the appeals courts are either specialized courts or there are specialized chambers and the ideas expressed in paragraph 45 is contrary to existing practice of many countries.
13. In paragraph 55 the sentence "nonetheless, the CCJE considers that such separate systems are an impediment to access to justice and also are often linked to differences in the status of judges" should be deleted, because separate systems if properly functioning are not in itself impediment to access to justice.
Madame le Vice-président POPA est d'accord avec le contenu.
Comments on the draft Opinion No. 15 "Specialisation of judges" (Document CCJE(2012)4)
By Eva Wendel Rosberg (Sweden)
Art. 18. Strike the second sentence "It can give judges …" The sentence implies a type of behavior from judges that I would find unlikely.
Art. 28. Strike the last example regarding persons accused of participating in criminal organisations. There are no 'membership cards' for members of criminal organisations - sometimes the most important for a prosecutor is to prove that the accused is involved in a criminal organisation. If a special court or judge is appointed for these cases, it implies that the justice system has already decided that the accused is involved in a criminal organisation and therefore cannot get a fair trial.
Art.55. Strike the first sentence. Sweden is one of the countries in Europe that has a dual system with both ordinary and administrative courts. This is a system that works very well in Sweden and is a good kind of specialisation. The system is not an 'impediment' to access to justice. The administrative courts mainly handle cases where an authority has made a decision. The authority gives information about how and where to appeal against the decision. E.g. the administrative courts handle tax cases.

It seems the lilo.conf is not read by the system...
but I'm sure I have only one partition HDA1 ext3 (verified with qtparted or cfdisk)
The name HDA is suggested by the BT... (i don't understand why many users have SDA instead)
Anyone has any ideas to solve this problem?
sorry for errors ...
Thanks in advance.

Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
change that to
and put it just above the read-only line
Code:label = bt append="irqpoll" read-only
eventually append = "irqpoll nocd"
I have told it seems the os doesn't read the lilo.conf , cause if I increase the timeout = 1000 value, this operation have no effect on time delay...
have you just edited lilo.conf or have you written those changes to the mbr.
If you are getting no change, the I suspect you are just editing the lilo.conf
but I have this classic fatal error I found in others threads:
Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Fatal: creat /boot/map~: Read-only file system
Does exist another resolution method or the only one is to restart again from the beginning?

Latino artists have been at the forefront of the public art movement in the United States since the first mural movements of the 1960s. Steeped in the traditions of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueros, and José Clemente Orozco, Chicano artists used murals to create community and express culture in a new country. At the same time, graffiti art emerged from urban gang culture to challenge the "art by committee" nature of murals. These two groups, historically in conflict, have learned much from each other. More recently, contemporary Latino artists have produced a third form of public art, public sculpture, challenging traditions to create thought-provoking works.
In this lesson, students will engage in the debate that exists between these three forms and decide for themselves what public art should be and who should be in control. An exploration of public art addresses issues of public space, community, immigration, inspiriation, and the process of art.

Green Day's "American Idiot" musical made its official Broadway premiere at New York's St. James Theatre on Tuesday night. If the band being moved to tears by the production isn't motivation enough to make the trip to NYC to see the show, well, we figured we'd let the cast and crew tell you why you should check it out.
"As big a fan as someone is of Green Day, they might not even know how much dramatic potential is inside these songs," director Michael Mayer said. "And they have never heard them sung in this way before, so I think they may have a deeper appreciation of what Billie Joe and Mike and Tre have written. I hope they do [come see it], because I am just continually astonished by their artistry and the power and the beauty of these songs."
Like Green Day said earlier, the "Idiot" musical is a lot like seeing the band live: roaring, loud and unapologetic. But to hear Mayer tell it, there's also a side most fans can't see in concert — one that is brought right to the forefront on the Broadway stage.
"When you go see them in concert, or you watch their videos or you go see them in any of their work or like awards shows and stuff, anytime that you see them perform, they're so ferocious," he said. "They're wild, but then when you get to know them as people ... they're really sensitive, intelligent, articulate, caring people ... and that's an aspect that comes through in this play, in these songs."
That personal touch extends to the cast of "Idiot" too. Because, growing up, they were all Green Day fans, and doing this musical was most definitely a labor of love.
"I always loved their music. I remember loving the song 'She,' and we [all] talk about the song 'Basket Case,' " said Rebecca Naomi Jones, who plays Whatsername. "Those old songs are just so good ... the driving beats and awesome bass lines and Billie Joe's voice. And some of the American Idiot songs are just out of this world."
"It blew my mind when I first heard their music. ... I can still remember the first time I saw the music video for 'Basket Case.' I didn't have cable, so I had to go to my cousin's house to watch it," added John Gallagher Jr., who plays Johnny. "I was mesmerized, but I was also scared of them. I fell for them, I loved all their records, and then I heard American Idiot, and I was like, 'Wow, these guys have stepped it up.' And this production is like that album: smart, edgy, daring and loud ... but it has so much sensitivity and emotion in it. I have been pinching myself through this entire process, and I can't see myself stopping anytime soon."
Will you make your way to NYC to see "American Idiot" on Broadway? Let us know in the comments!

Some years ago the late R.J. Godfrey parked his pickup beside mine and showed me a thorny plant that almost filled his pickup bed. "What is it, and how can you kill it?" he asked. I identified it as Green Condalia and told him what I thought would kill it. I cut off a piece of the butt end to determine its age, and I noticed that the heartwood was dark red. I told him that I would dump it out on my brush pile, suggesting that next time he didn't have to bring me the whole plant for me to identify. He was glad to get rid of it on the ranch, was his closing comment.
The next time I saw Green Condalia was along one of the nature trails in San Angelo State Park, where it was mixed with the more abundant and shorter Lotebush and taller Mesquite. What was so noticeable about it was the fuzzy, grassy bird's nest about head high in almost every bush, and none in the Lotebush or Mesquite. Smart bird. It can pick the thorniest bush among thorn bushes in which to build its nest. Most people can't tell them apart.
Green Condalia may grow to 8-10 feet in a cluster of several stems of different sizes. It is abundant but not the most dominant brush species in the chaparral growth along Llano River slopes in Mason County. In surrounding counties in central Texas it occurs as scattered individuals. It is found on shallow gravelly soils, mostly. It retains its leaves in winter, except for the uppermost branches which are bare with abundant white thorns, an easy identification characteristic. Its value as browse for livestock and deer is minor, and I have never seen it to be the primary brush problem for removal in spite of R.J.'s desire to get rid of one plant.
My interest in the red heartwood of my first sample was revived when I started polishing thin cross sections of woody stems I call wooden nickels. It was a hobby I started with my grandchildren trying to teach them the value of money by giving them wooden nickels they could spend at our nephew's store. I called them dollars then, and would reimburse my nephew in secret. Once they caught on and required real money, the wooden nickels were devalued, and I used them to give away to friends who needed something in their pocket.
My assortment of wooden nickels has grown to several dozen of the woody plants of the Hill Country with great variation in colors of heartwood and sapwood, growth rings, insect and disease scars, bark, and polish. Sanding from coarse grit to the super fine 600 grit is tedious, but satisfying to feel the finished disk. But I didn't have a wooden nickel with the red heartwood that I remembered from my first encounter with Green Condalia.
Thus began my quest several years ago for the Green Condalia with red heartwood. I haven't visited R.J.'s ranch near Menard where I presume the original plant was cut. Samples from plants I have cut elsewhere had dull brown heartwood. I even cut some stems of Lotebush from the ranch just in case my original identification was wrong. They say a bird in Africa can guide natives to trees bearing honey. Maybe I need the bird from San Angelo State Park to guide me to a suitable Green Condalia and see if there are any left on R.J.'s. Now I need to find someone who can identify that bird.
Reading The Landscape
What river is this? What would you expect to be covering the hills along this stretch of the river? —JL

Jake's comments: This is the Llano River looking upstream from Hwy 1871 crossing in Mason County. River edge has Bushy bluestem and Willow baccharis; slopes are covered in dense Chaparral, consisting of Mesquite, Lotebush, Cedar. Green Condalia, Tx persimmon, and Tx Colubrina, respectable wildlife habitat, but not much for livestock grazing. —JL
