|Open letter: UBCIC Supports RCY Petition to Access Cabinet Documents
May 11, 2010
Hon. Mary Polak
Ministry of Children and Family Development
PO Box 9057, STN PROV GOVT.
Victoria, BC, V8W 9E2
Dear Hon. Polak,
We are writing to express our shock, outrage, and complete opposition to proposed provincial legislation that would severely restrict the B.C. Representative for Children and Youth's access to key cabinet documents, and thus restrict her ability to effectively advocate on behalf of extremely vulnerable children and youth.
The independent Representative for Children and Youth (RCY) position was created in 2006. A report on the brutal death of toddler Sherry Charlie prompted an internal review of the government, an inquest, and an inquiry. The work was headed by retired judge Ted Hughes, who recommended creation of the RCY position. Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond was appointed unanimously to the RCY position by all parties.
The RCY has a mandate to improve services and outcomes for children in B.C. through advocacy, accountability, and review as an independent officer of the legislature; the proposed legislation would prevent the RCY from carrying out this mandate. The legislation would also prevent the RCY from carrying out her responsibility to initiate reviews and investigate government agencies that provide services to children in B.C.
The Union of BC Indian Chiefs recognizes it is essential that as Indigenous Peoples we assert and exercise our jurisdiction in child welfare matters for the health of our children, families and Nations. We strongly support the work and mandate of the RCY, and greatly appreciate her efforts to consult with and support Indigenous people and communities. As you know, Indigenous children are disproportionately represented in care- although they make up fewer than one in 10 people in the province; they represent more than half of the children in care. Like you, the RCY recognizes that the overrepresentation of First Nations children in care is related to a number of factors including high rates of poverty, substance abuse, historic discrimination and different treatment within the justice system. We all agree that we have to immediately make changes to support our children.
We appreciate that Goal 4 of your MCFD 2010/11-2012/13 Service Plan includes "proactive strategies to identify and address systemic and structural barriers that impact the well-being of Indigenous children, families and communities." In order to remain in-line with your stated goal, you cannot let legislation limiting the RCY's ability to place children first, proceed any further. The proposed legislation stands to prevent Turpel-Lafond from releasing future reports, including a review on the care of Aboriginal children that we desperately need recommendations from. This legislation is unequivocally a structural barrier to the primacy of well-being of Indigenous children, families, and communities.
Like you, we find the abuse that vulnerable children face to be devastating and absolutely intolerable. We object to the provincial government's thoughtless offer for Turpel-Lafond to see cabinet documents if she signs a "protocol agreement" pledging confidentiality. This type of protocol would prevent her from potentially releasing information that could literally save children's lives and prevent continuation of multiple cases of child abuse.
We understand that Turpel-Lafond's petition will be heard before the Supreme Court Thursday, May 13th. You must prevent the proposed legislation that would censor the RCY's access to critical cabinet documents. We urge you to work together with Turpel-Lafond in her position as RCY, rather than against her in, order to carry out your overlapping goals of caring for and protecting vulnerable children and youth.
We call on you to place the interests of vulnerable children first.
On behalf of the UNION OF BC INDIAN CHIEFS,
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip
Chief William Charlie
Chief Robert Chamberlin
Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Representative for Children and Youth
First Nations Child and Family Wellness Council
First Nations Summit
BC Assembly of First Nations

Javier Gallegos Rosales, young immigrant facing deportation, granted continuance in case
Update: Javier Gallegos Rosales, the young immigrant whose story we posted earlier today, has been granted a continuance in his deportation case. His lawyer, Hans Meyer, tells us that Gallegos Rosales is due back in court in October -- and Meyer says they'll use the extra time to strengthen their case. They're asking the federal government to exercise prosecutorial discretion and drop the deportation case against Gallegos Rosales based on what Meyer describes as changed circumstances in the 26-year-old's life.
Meyer says he can't discuss the details of those circumstances at this time. But he says he hopes that the additional information will help the feds make what he sees as the right decision.
Read our original post below.
Original post: Last summer, we told you about a growing trend of undocumented immigrants going public to stop their deportations. That trend continues -- and yesterday, as a frigid wind blew icy snowflakes into people's hair and jackets, a group gathered in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Denver to protest the deportation of 26-year-old Javier Gallegos Rosales, who came to the United States at age nine.

Today at 8 a.m., an immigration judge will decide whether to deport Gallegos Rosales to Mexico.
"I really want to stay here and go back to school to become a graphic designer," Gallegos Rosales told the sign-bearing crowd yesterday. "There's no other place that's home."
Javier Gallegos Rosales speaks to the Spanish-speaking media.
Melanie Asmar
Gallegos Rosales's entire family is here, he says, and he's spent the majority of his life in the U.S. He graduated from Denver's Manual High School in 2005 and has worked at a bakery for the past seven years, performing every job in the shop. His dream is to save up enough money to go to college. He's active in his church, Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Aurora, and with Denver's Centro San Juan Diego ministry.
"I'm not a bad person," he says. "All I do is work, church, youth group and family."
In March 2011, Gallegos Rosales was arrested on a charge of habitually driving without a license; he'd previously gotten several tickets for driving without a license, according to the law firm representing him. Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement learned of Gallegos Rosales's undocumented status and placed him in deportation proceedings.
Gallegos Rosales addresses the crowd.
Melanie Asmar
His case was still pending when, in the summer of 2012, the feds announced a new program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. The program allows young immigrants who entered the country illegally as children to apply for temporary legal status. There are a few requirements, however, including that the immigrant must currently be a student or have graduated from high school and must have a clean criminal record. Felonies or "significant misdemeanors" render a person ineligible.
At first, Gallegos Rosales's lawyer thought he'd qualify. He fit the spirit of the program perfectly, says paralegal Julie Gonzales: He was a young, clean-living undocumented immigrant whose greatest wish was to go to college. But because Gallegos Rosales pleaded guilty to habitually driving without a license -- a first-degree misdemeanor -- he didn't qualify for DACA, Gonzales says. "He's one of those young people who should be able to do that instead of fighting against his deportation case," she adds.
Gallegos Rosales says he knows that his situation saddens his family. "Even though they don't show it, I know they hurt inside," he says. "They don't want me to go."
The group circles around Gallegos Rosales.
Melanie Asmar
At the end of yesterday's rally, Pastor Vern Rempel of the First Mennonite Church of Denver and the immigrant advocacy group Together Colorado asked everyone in attendance to circle around Gallegos Rosales, who wore just a sweatshirt in the snow. "We are ready to walk with him so he does not need to walk alone," Rempel said before leading the group in a rendition of "We Shall Overcome."
Gallegos Rosales says the gathering made him feel supported. "Some people I don't even know," he says of those who attended, "and they are here to support me."

Robert Pattinson Fans To Now Lust Over a Hunk of Wax
Rejoice, Robert Pattinson fans; your favorite sexy vampire has now been cloned! At least in wax form. Behold, the finished R-Pattz wax figure that the craftsmen of Madame Tussauds have been painstakingly working on for the past several weeks. It's so realistic, you can practically catch the whiff of questionable hygiene coming off of it over the Internet.
But impressive as the statue is, it does bring up an interesting conundrum: How will they keep this thing from melting when it's obviously so hot?
The Robert Pattinson wax figure premieres at the New York and London branches of Madame Tussauds on March 25—which, if you check your calendar, is tomorrow. Twi-hards, buy your plane tickets…

PIA Award Winner Revealed
Petplan are delighted to announce Kelly Cummings has won the Petplan Insurance Advisor of the Year Award. She was presented with her award at the BVNA ceremony on Saturday 11th October.
This award recognises the hard work and dedication that Petplan Insurance Advisors (PIAs) do to highlight the importance of insurance to pet owners as a means of financial protection.
Simon Wheeler, Head of Marketing at Petplan comments, "Kelly is a great advocate for pet insurance. Establishing pet insurance as part of the culture in her practice made Kelly stand out as an ambassador for others to follow. As practice manager of Albavets in Glasgow, Kelly leads by example to ensure pet insurance benefits both clients and the veterinary practice itself."
The other finalists were Fiona Andrew from Tay Valley Veterinary Centre in Perth and Helen Rosser from Blythman & Partners in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The award was judged by last year's winner Sally Harrison, President of VPMA, Sarah Hibbert and Vicky Field of Petplan.
This award coincides with the launch of Petplan's new and improved online training course for PIAs which allows nurses to continue their personal development training and earn valuable CPD points.
The scheme helps practices offer the complete package of knowledge to pet owners and encourages clients to return as they know that the practice goes that extra mile to help with all their needs - clinical as well as financial.

Mexican Grill Chicken Taquito Enchiladas
Recipe by Tandy Higgins
My daughter, Jessica, discovered this dish when she had to make and take a Mexican dish to her Spanish class. We tried it out and found that the whole family enjoyed it. We like to serve it with refried beans and cheese. It's a quick and easy school night meal.
Top Review by Soup Fly
As simple as it is, this sauce is very tasty. This took about 15 minutes to make, which is great for a busy night! It may be that I used mild enchilada sauce so my DD could eat it, but I found it to be slightly bland. I definitely suggest spicing it up with salsa and other condiments.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 12 ounces chicken taquitos
- 1 (19 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk or 12 ounces cream

Directions See How It's Made

As I have wanted to do each year, here is my goals post for 2012. Last year I set out to do this very same thing but was very unsuccessful at completing the post. Here is all I had written:
This year, I will do much better. As proof of that goal, this post will get published – one way or another. Despite not having published an actual list of goals, I think I did fairly well with this list. I wrote a few articles. I was able to maintain a steady pace with my blog. I completed my MCITP for both Admin and Dev tracks in 2008. I became very familiar with SSRS and learned a substantial amount with SSIS.
So, as I set out to establish my goals, I decided to keep the list very short.
I will finish the MCITP for the BI track in 2008. I plan to have this done by March 2012.
I will study for and take the MCM written and Lab exams for SQL 2008. I will take more time to achieve this goal but will have it done by year end.
Continue writing. I will continue to contribute articles for publication as well as write on my blog. I hope to also do some writing professionally.
I have several rooms in the basement to finish. I plan on finishing the family room and my office.
I will continue to volunteer at the UG level as well as at the PASS level. I like volunteering with PASS and helping to achieve the greatness that is PASS Summit.
Despite some setbacks already, I will push forward and get a SQLSaturday event to happen in Las Vegas.
There you have it. Nothing too elaborate. I'm trying to keep the goals short and simple without overly complicated detail. I think this year will be a successful year as well.

It was a good thing Peyton Manning left such a nice tip for his server at the Angus Barn because it was one of the last the server would ever receive at the Raleigh, N.C., steakhouse.
According to the Triangle Business Journal, a server at the restaurant was fired after posting a photograph of the generous tip Manning left on a $625 bill. The restaurant included its own 18 percent gratuity, bringing the tab to about $739, and Manning added another $200 on top -- roughly -a 50 percent tip. "Jon" was terminated by restaurant owner Van Eure for violating the restaurant's privacy policy.

As far as the draft i think the biggest needs are NT, ILB, FS and LT. I'd go with this or a variation of it.
1. NT Loius Nix
2. LB Arthur Brown
3. FS Baccari Rambo
4. OT Ricky Wagner
Fill out the rest of the draft with BPA and trying to get more athletic on defense in the front 7.
With regards to the cap i think cutting Mcclain and Birk, approaching Boldin about a pay cut, and restructing and extending Jacoby(stealing wicked's idea lol) would be the way to go. The bigger elephant in the room would be Ray Lewis, obviously his play wont be worth a 7.3 cap number but when he comes back can he play well enough that when you add that to the intangible could the Ravens foot the bill one more season? yet to be determined.
I'd try to resign Kruger at the right price, resign Ellerbe and at this point i think i'd let Ed walk unless he's willing to take significantly less then what he's used to making and honestly i think this is a prime year to get a good FS prospect to replace him such as Rambo.
However, big time Golden Domer fans don't think he'll come out this year since he is a RS Sophomore. Probably next year.
However, I'd like to direct everyone's attention to Kapron Lewis-Moore. He is ND's 3-4 DE. He isn't an incredible player, but he's a solid contributor as a 5-tech DE and is a good player against the run. He's got good size (6'4" 305lbs) and plays with good technique. Because he isn't a physical specimen, I'd be surprised if he went before the 2nd round, so he might be a good guy to look at in rounds 3 and 4. He is also highly intelligent, a hard worker, and a great locker room guy.
I also really like Kevin Minter. That dude is ferocious.
I think Tavon Austin would be a great talent to have in Baltimore. He's a Welker type with a lot more athleticism. He'd be a great guy to stick in the slot and absolutely burn any LB that happens to be put on him. I know the team has put a lot into the WR position but considering Boldin may be cut if he won't take a pay-cut, they might be in the market for a 3rd WR.
He also would be a good value in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Regarding Hankins - I too like him, but there is no way the Ravens would have a shot at him. He's going to be a top 10 pick. Jon Jenkins out of Georgia is a possibility.
However, I really think that the Ravens are either going to go for Ogletree, Mosley, or an offensive lineman like Barrett Jones, Jon Cooper, or Chance Warmack in round 1.
I love Tavon Austin, it's just the more i see this defense i dont think we would be able to justify picking him as high as we'd have to pick him to get him. I'd love a slot guy like him though, i've been meaning to research to see if there are any later round gadget type guys available. Those guys are drive extender i.e. Andrew Hawkins w/the Bengals.
Stedman Bailey might be an interesting choice in the 3rd or 4th rounds.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she is leading a 12-member congressional delegation to Haiti today.
She said the trip is designed to "demonstrate the ongoing American commitment to the Haitian people – that they will not be forsaken or forgotten."
Others are on the trip include Sens. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa; Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.; Bill Nelson, D-Fla.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; and George LeMieux, R-Fla. The House delegation includes Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich.; Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.; Jim Oberstar, D-Minn.; Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas; Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.; Donna Christensen, D-V.I.
Congress is in recess until Feb. 22.
Pelsoi has been out in front in marhsaling support for Haiti. In a House floor speech shortly after the earthquake, she called on international development banks to cancel Haiti's debt and declared her intention to work in Congress to secure funding for "long-term sustainable development plans for Haiti."

Dear Santa, As one old fogey to another, greetings and good wishes and I hope the cold isn't getting to your arthritis. No trouble down here, but bring sunscreen for the reindeer.
Everything is ready at this end. The wrapping paper was bought in January and is last year's design, but they are too young to notice that. And the parcels are locked in the whiskey cupboard - they know that the only sin in this house is any attempt to investigate grandad's whiskey stock. In your enterprise, you can count on my discretion and I am happy to act as your local representative for another year, which is probably about as long as I can keep up the deceit.
I have to tell you that there are suspicions, muffled whisperings that probably originated not from the seven-year-old and her friends but from one of the pagans at preschool. The parents are not enthusiastic about the subterfuge and when I remind their mother that she was 10 before she gave up her profitable credulity, it is met with a watery laugh. Nonetheless, this house is sound. And although nationally the birth rate is down, you will have employment for a few more years yet. But there are other heresies that threaten the continuation of your benign contribution to fellowship.
The word commercialism is often used to describe them, but it is more serious than that: It is a reduction of the pageant of which you are one of the more prominent players, to a fable of no likelier veracity than Troy or Camelot. Time was, as you know, when the world or that part of it we used to think of as Christian, was lit at this time of year by red window candles to guide a fleeing family, a time of carolling more than carousing, when we wished strangers happiness rather than merriment.
But they told us the lights were dangerous and they replaced them with blinking neon and they changed you from a benign giver into a rogue merchandiser. In older times, you were as much a part of what we celebrated as the crib and what it stood for. We invented you, Santa, and named you after a hirsute Turkish bishop. For anyone who thought about it, you were a kind of parable; you helped us to believe that prayers could be answered, that there was a bounty that was not diminished by the number of clients.
So maybe you are only a fairy story, but fairy stories have an immortality that history cannot emulate. And the essence of these tales is that for the hero, things work out well in the end. They tell us that living happily ever after can come from good deeds; and that is something we say at the end of our Sunday Creed without ever thinking too much about what we are saying. Often in the fairy story, the prince comes in disguise, unrecognised and ragged and poor. And sure, that is the story of the day that is in it when the children wake with excitement to see whether you have been good to them. Later, they will go to church with their parents, perhaps their once-a-year visit. But never mind, they have come to their religion only after meeting you. They learn their religion by starting on Santa Claus.
By rights, of course, you should have departed the scene once Columbus discovered America, Newton explained gravity, and we learnt that we share 98.4 per cent of our DNA with chimpanzees. But you have hung on, you hoary old fraud, because as much as we need science and discovery, we need fable and myth and imagination too.
It would be quite easy to ban you from hoardings and greeting cards and to curtail your promotion of shopping centre trade. Indeed, as you may know, they are trying to do that in the place that Columbus discovered because they realise that you have a kind of immortality that fits as uneasily with their philosophy as with their commerce. But in our clever way, we have coupled you as part of the promise the Man made about ''being with us all days'' and that is why I am still, in spite of the cost of living, happy to be your representative and depot manager. What I will do when they find me out, I'm not sure. Maybe I will admit to a lie but excuse it on the grounds that it was a cloak for a bigger truth. They won't believe it, of course, and will probably think that what I tell them about climate change is equally fanciful. While I'm on it, Santa, you wouldn't have another Al Gore stacked away somewhere, would you?

CFO Moves: Iron Mountain, Vivint
Iron Mountain, a records-management company based in Boston, said Chief Financial Officer Brian McKeon will step down at the end of October to pursue other opportunities, but will remain with the company through the end of the year to assist with the transition of his duties. Beginning Nov. 1, Roderick Day, CFO of its international division, will serve as acting CFO of the company while it conducts an internal and external search for Mr. McKeon's replacement. Mr. McKeon has been Iron Mountain's CFO since April 2007, and received total 2012 compensation valued at $2.2 million, including a salary of $526,220, equity awards valued at $1.2 million and a $546,664 bonus, according to the company's most recent proxy statement. Mr. McKeon's departure comes less than a year after William Meaney joined the company as chief executive; as CFO Journal noted in September, a new, external CEO and the near-term departure of the sitting CFO often go hand in hand.
Vivint Inc., a home-automation services company based in Provo, Utah, has hired Mark Davies as its chief financial officer. Mr. Davies comes to the company from Alcoa Inc., where he was president of global business services and the chief procurement officer. Vivint's prior CFO, Christopher Black, left the company soon after it was acquired last November by Blackstone.

That is only for their "improved" polling interface that continually greps through the logs instead of polling pbs_server. But you don't have to use it. In my environment, pbs_server doesn't run on the machines with globus so log scrapping wasn't viable (not that I thought it was a good idea to begin with.)

SPORTS >> Former Lonoke coach Steelman dies
He was a great inspiration to the players on a daily basis, Jones said of Steelman, who died last Friday morning of complications from diabetes. He always had an uplifting word for the team. He was a blessing to be around the past few years.
Steelman, 50, taught and coached football and girls track at Lonoke High School for 10 years. He was a member of the 1997 All Star coaching staff. Steelman began his coaching tenure at Lonoke as defensive coordinator in 1990, and guided the Lonoke Jackrabbits to an 11-3 record and the 5AA-Central championship in 1996.
As head coach, Steelman led the Jackrabbits to a 15-10 record and two playoff appearances.
Steelman graduated from Daniel High School in Clemson, S.C., and Northeast Louisiana University, where he was a graduate assistant on the 1987 national championship team. Steelman also completed a masters degree from the University of Central Arkansas. Steelman won many awards throughout his career, his most prized of which were the National Attitude Award and the National Football Coachs Association Award.
Steelman is survived by his father, Harold Steelman Sr., of Little Rock; son, Houston Steelman of Metairie, La.; niece, Amy Reaves; nephew, Jason Fields, cousins and an uncle. Preceding him in death were his mother, Carolyn, and sister, Sara.
Jones, who left Lonoke to become an assistant coach at Springdale, said illness had been a part of Steelmans life since he developed diabetes in high school. But he never let it affect him, Jones said.
He always bounced back strong, he said. I think we thought it would be the same in this instance.
He just had such a generally positive outlook on life, he was never down for a minute no matter what his circumstances. He knew that God was good and he preached that on a daily basis.
Services for Steelman were held on Monday morning at First Baptist Church in Lonoke.

NORTH COUNTY -- Attorneys for the Pala Band of Mission Indians, the city of Oceanside and local environmental group RiverWatch have filed a lawsuit challenging the county's approval of a solid waste permit application for the disputed Gregory Canyon landfill.
The suit filed in North San Diego County Superior Court on Friday alleges the county violated the California Environmental Quality Act and conducted an inadequate impact assessment in approving the landfill's solid waste application.
The lawsuit is the latest challenge to the much-disputed $60 million, 1,770-acre landfill site, which county voters approved by passing Proposition C in 1994.
The Pala tribe, RiverWatch and Oceanside, as well as Encinitas, the San Diego Chapter of the Sierra Club and other local groups are opposed to the landfill because of potential water contamination and other environmental damage they say the dump would cause. Gregory Canyon is proposed for land two miles west of the Pala Indian Reservation and three miles east of the Highway 76 and Interstate 15 interchange.
The dump's solid-waste permit application was approved June 2, pending a public hearing and a review by the Sacramento-based board within 60 days.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/1990
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit 1990
Part of the great timeline rebuiild Pup t 04:18, 31/07/2009
I'm going to try and take a shot at doing this one. Look out for it soon. Sequence 11:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
|Before I get into this part I'll preface it by acknowledging that making one of these articles humorous is extremely difficult as the range of possible jokes you have access to is extremely limited. This of course being limited to mostly one liners that need to make sense given the context of the event that occured. So with that In mind I'm going to be a bit easier on it than I would otherwise.
|It's a year. There's a lot of years on Uncyclopedia already so it isn't exactly a new concept. There also isn't that much room for trying out different things. Nonetheless it's decent enough as it lets you put down enough material, I guess you would call it average.
|Prose and formatting:
|Pretty good overall. It is almost entirely in list form but this one case where it is meant to be, and the additional commentary keeps it from looking too "I writted a funny list hah hah". The pictures are also well laid out. A few things to note though:
|There are a lot of images (12) throughout the whole piece which is good because there is always something to catch your eye. I think you really need to make good use of the images because this is the part where you will have the most creativity in what your humour can do.
|I use this section as a 'would I email it to my friends to read' part. At the moment the article isn't particularly strong, and unfortunately due to it's limited concept there isn't all that much room for growth. So at the moment I probably wouldn't email it to them.
|Final Score:
|As an article about a year it is certainly quite good within it's own framework, especially when you compare it to other year articles that haven't been fixed up yet (1994, the previous version of 1990). With a bit more polish it could probably turn into a pretty reasonable article, although I doubt it will ever be able to achieve featured article status (again this goes back to it's self-imposed constraints). Still, a good effort considering what you had to work with and particularly considering the dreck you had to cut out at the beginning. If you want to talk or discuss about this more feel free to make any comments on my talk page.

Ellington and Catanzaro Receive National Recognition
Clemson senior running back Andre Ellington and junior kicker Chandler Catanzaro both received national honors on Tuesday for their performances in Clemson's 26-19 win over Auburn this past Saturday. Ellington was named the national Offensive Player of the Week by the Maxwell Football Club and Catanzaro was one of five Stars of the Week by the Lou Groza Award. Ellington gained 228 yards rushing in 25 attempts against Auburn, the most yards by any running back at the FBS level in the first weekend of college football. Ellington's performance helped the Tigers to 320 yards rushing, the most by the Clemson program since 2009. His 228 yards were the most by a Clemson player against an SEC team and most by a Tiger in a season opener. Catanzaro kicked four field goals in four attempts in the win over Auburn.

absolutely fucking rediculous, political correctness has gone mad. what happened to freedom of speech?
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
Haha I love freedom of speech arguments in situations like this. He is an employee. Whenever he speaks in public, he is seen as such. Inescapable fact. Now. I know this isn't perfectly analogous, but if you worked in a supermarket and were overheard by a customer, calling another worker there a 'COMPLETE FUCKING CUNT' even without using homophobic language, you can expect a telling off. Which is pretty much all this is. Matt the meathead was much worse and he was back in 3 weeks
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
In fairness, I don't really have a point here. I wanted to write those words out in caps and that's it.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
I think he used the word in a general term as in a twat, c**t etc and probably not meant in a "homophobic" way.
You say about him being an employee but everyone deserves a private life aswell? He cant be ridiculed about everything he ever does or says. I understand it was directed at another "employee" of Zuffa and not just a random person but seems a bit harsh to suspend someone for saying one word that is not the harshest of words out there.
I am not really that bothered about it, yes he was probably wrong but doesnt deserve to be cut for it
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Has everyone forgotten that about 2 years ago there was a huge uproar because Dana White did the same?

Contacts: Ellen Sukovich and Tom Workoff
Experiment will Retrospectively Analyze Eight Major Atmospheric River Events
ARs are relatively narrow regions in the atmosphere that are responsible for most of the horizontal transport of water vapor outside of the tropics. While ARs come in many shapes and sizes, those that contain the largest amounts of water vapor, the strongest winds, and stall over watersheds vulnerable to flooding, can create extreme rainfall and floods. These events can disrupt travel, induce mudslides, and cause catastrophic damage to life and property.
For each case study in ARRFEX, a collaborative team of forecasters and researchers from the NCEP, NOAA research laboratories, River Forecast Centers (RFC), and Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) will be provided with both operational and experimental numerical guidance products and asked to create a variety of quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) products, in real-time, for the eight retrospective events. Participants will also be asked to subjectively verify the forecasts and provide feedback on the performance and applicability of both the operational and experimental numerical models, datasets, and forecast products used in the forecast process. This forecaster feedback and interaction is critical for identifying biases, strengths, weaknesses, and utilities of each of the different guidance and forecast products used in the experiment.
Improved forecast guidance of ARs is critical to many west coast communities and decision makers (e.g., flood control, emergency management, water supply, reservoir operations, and transportation) and serves to help mitigate the risks of major flood events and protect life, property and the economy.

picnics, pastel polishes, and peaches!
The juicy, sweet crop is ripening and so is our appetite for all desserts featuring the scrumptious fruit. In our July issue, chef Jeni Britton Bauer, author of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts ($16; amazon.com), gives a new twist to the classic peaches-and-cream summer standard.
She was inspired by the Melba, a dessert created in the late 19th century by French chef Auguste Escoffier and named in honor of opera singer Nellie Melba.
Britton Bauer dreamed up a modern Melba featuring sugar-dusted croutons, tart raspberry sauce, and a frothy honey whipped cream. The results are a symphony of goodness.
Want more ice cream recipes to beat the heat? Pick up the July issue of InStyle, available on newsstands and for digital download now.

McDowell explains of 'Crossing Vertical', "Established iGaming operators have achieved success by marketing their poker products to existing customers. However the propensity for poker customers to move from one type of gambling to another is huge and clearly offers great potential in terms of improving customer retention and long term income growth."
GameAccount is one of the gaming suppliers who has managed to maximise its crossover opportunites through the promotion of its extensive portfolio of fully integrated products. McDowell adds, "There can be no doubt crossing verticals offers superb opportunities for additional income, but it's all about getting it right. I am certain delegates at the discussion will benefit immensely from being afforded an invaluable insight into the GameAccount experience."
The 'Crossing Verticals' roundtable discussion will investigate the inclination of poker customers moving from one type of gambling to another; the most effective methods for making the migration happen and how operators who offer a variety of products can maximize their crossover opportunities. The forum takes place at 10:00am on December 9 at the iGaming In-Depth Online Poker Conference, Wyndham Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace Casino, Nassau, Bahamas.

Shinzo Abe, Japan's Prime Minister, continues to astonish. He could hardly have chosen a more radical team than the one he has appointed to run the Bank of Japan. Haruhiko Kuroda, a critic of the BoJ's past passivity, is now in charge of monetary policy.
Make no mistake. Mr. Kuroda not only wants to deliver 2-per-cent annual inflation, but considers this to be within the power of the central bank. He can also expect to have the backing of the government and the new deputy governors, Kikuo Iwata and Hiroshi Nakaso. BoJ may grumble. But a shift in policy seems sure.

There were a couple of apparent changes since The Palate last dined at Conrad's landmark Glendale restaurant located at 820 N. Central Ave. I didn't recall the conspicuous flat screen TVs —on but silent during a busy Saturday evening — and the dinner service staff was all male this time. Otherwise the popular place continues on its reliable, anytime, breakfast, lunch and dinner, five-page menu, trail.
One of the area's most attractive and comfortable places has a kiddies' menu and a full bar —something for everyone at sensible prices. A fried half chicken dinner is just $6.95 Mondays and Wednesdays and $7.95 regularly. Italian and Mexican specialties are featured as well as steaks, seafood, sandwiches, wraps and salads.
The Palate feasted on butterflied and deep fried huge, breaded shrimp, $14.95 with soup or salad, plus a crisp side of onion rings, $3.95. My companion opted for Conrad's very inaccurate but healthful version of a Cobb salad, $10.95.
The service was a bit over-stretched but active and the self-parking is convenient — all in all, yet another happy Conrad's occasion. I'll be back soon.
Like most folks I am drawn to the easy-prep one-course meals in the frozen entrees lane at the supermarket. Most are over-priced and under-sized but now and then a convenience-food winner is in my quick meal freezer. A recent discovery was the Signature Cafe heat-and-eat Pasta Rigatoni ala Bolognese. It proved to be a rich, meaty sauce over tender pasta topped with Parmesan cheese —- a bit sparse, so augment cheese to taste. The label claims the delicious two-pound microwave dish is "family size." Maybe so (as a side), but two people easily polished it off as a meal for about $3 each. Try it and report to email@example.com.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/10/2003 (5033 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg's "Bichitra," which means a coming together or confluence, organized 10 days of Durga Puja, or prayers, at the Hindu Temple on Ellice Avenue last week and into this one.
Also known as the Bengali Association of Manitoba (BAM), Bichitra draws on the Bangladeshi and Indian diasporas for its membership. BAM winds this festive season up with a cultural program and dinner this evening at the Wildwood Community Centre.
Roughly 95 per cent of Bichitra's membership of about 30 families hail from India, the rest from Bangladesh.
There are three Hindu Temples in Winnipeg other than the one on Ellice Avenue: the Sai Centre on Sargent Avenue and two others preferred by the West Indian or Caribbean community -- one downtown, and the other on Manitoba Avenue. Hindus from South Africa, Kenya, the Caribbean and India comprise about 400 families of 5,000 Hindus in this city. They may follow various paths of Hinduism, from Arya Samaj to Sanatani.
The origins of Hinduism, one of the world's great cultural-spiritual movements encompassing myriad rituals and schools of thought, are hidden in the mists of thousands of years, the word Hindu having been coined by India's Islamic invaders to refer to those living on the wrong side of the Indus River around 1200 AD.
Hinduism is essentially monistic or pantheistic, the former holding that all things are ultimately one and the latter, that everything is a part of God.
Radhakrishnan, a former president of India, once said Hinduism was "more a culture than a creed," which may be true of most faiths. Hindu thought recognizes numerous avatars or divine incarnations.
Hindus believe the balance of their good and bad actions in this mundane world, or karma, causes the cycles of birth and death through which they must reincarnate until they attain nirvana or union with Brahman, the God above Gods.
Calcutta, once capital of India, just about shuts down during the Puja break, lasting about seven days, as does the Hindu world in general, including Nepal and the rest of India. The latter celebrate it in a slightly different fashion. The season is mainly known as Dasai in Nepal and Dussera in north, west and south India.
Built with characteristically Bengali artistry, the pandals, or massive tents, archetypal of this season in Calcutta, embody varying themes from the Gulf War to Mother Teresa, depending on the year's events. This year, portraits of Mother Teresa hung next to traditional statues of the goddess Durga in Calcutta, a sign of public esteem for her. Since the late Roman Catholic nun spent half a century caring for the ill and destitute of Calcutta, the east Indian city plans mass celebrations to coincide with her imminent beatification.
The pandals also feature the smells of Calcutta food next to them, and throngs of people dressed in their finest.
"I remember wearing my first tailored suit during the Pujas at Deoghar, Bihar, around 1958," says Bidhu Jha, MLA for Radisson.
Jha has an unquestionably strong sense of belonging to the Hindu community, though he is proud to have been elected from a 95 per cent Anglo-Saxon constituency.
"At its core, Hinduism is the best philosophy on the planet," he asserts.
"True Hindus consider the world their extended family and pray for the happiness of all. This manifested itself in my election campaign, in which I claimed the world as our jurisdiction and concern. To me, the most important aspects of the Hindu faith are social justice and democracy."
Milling around the pandals, flowing into the streets in such numbers that there are traffic jams at 2 a.m., extended families pack mini-buses to go from pandal to pandal.
From Arizona to New Zealand these last 10 days, Hindus, including Bengalis, were celebrating. During the celebrations, Hindu goddess Durga, resplendent in all her martial glory, is believed to come to Earth astride a lion to slay demon-king Mahishasura. Legend has it that Mahishasura, the ebony-skinned tyrant, challenges the gods and almost has his way. The deities create the warrior goddess Durga who, armed with 10 lethal weapons, sets about her task of killing the asura (demon) -- traditionally symbolizing the dark forces of the underworld -- in a prolonged battle of strength and will.
Mahishasura, King of the Asuras, was granted a wish by Lord Brahma because of many years of austerity observed by him -- that no one may be able to kill him. This power created in him an urge to rule the world. With his battalions of Asuras, Mahishasura began to terrorize the inhabitants of heaven itself, driving the gods out. When Mahishasura usurped the throne in the ensuing chaos, the gods requested the most powerful among them, Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, to stop him; the latter created a female form so brilliant it lit the heavens up.
The demon-killer Durga emerged from the glow, a beautiful yellow woman with 10 arms riding a lion. In her 10 hands, the powerful trio placed 10 symbols of her divine power, each from another god: Agni's flaming dart; Vayu's bow; Surya's quiver of arrows; Vishnu's discus; Shiva's trident; Varuna's conch shell; Yama's iron rod; Indra's thunderbolt; Kubera's club; and Shesha's garland of snakes.
Durga beheads Mahishasura in a fierce battle, causing him to emerge from the bull in his original form. She then pierces his chest with a trident, delivering the world from evil, protecting her devotees and establishing peace and prosperity on Earth.

Military Memories
Posted by
In honor of Memorial Day, I'll mention two items appropriate for the occasion. First, if you enjoyed the books
Dating Old Photographs
More Dating Old Photographs
(Moorshead Magazines), then you're going to love the new one in the series.
Dating Military Photographs
will let you compare all your mysterious military images to those other people have submitted.
If you'd like to contribute a few pictures, you can read more about the project on the
Family Chronicle Web site
. The editors are looking for images of miltary personnel from the Mexican War up to and including World War I. The editors have asked for a little information about each picture, such as when the person served.
Speaking of World War I, attendees at the
National Genealogical Society
conference in Kansas City were treated to one of the country's best museums (that's my opinion anyway). Who knew the city housed a museum dedicated to World War I? I didn't. A colleague suggested it was well worth a visit. She was right!
The National World War One Museum
was a visual experience:
Visitors watch two movies about the time period that include actual footage from the era.
A recreated trench lets you experience how scary it must have been to fight from those mud-walled pits.
There are tanks and uniforms galore as well as a poppy field of honor for those who died during the war.
The uniform displays alone taught me a few things about military attire during that world war. If you get a chance to visit Kansas City, make sure you include a visit to this museum.
If you have an image of an ancestor in a World War I uniform,
send it to me
. I'll feature it next week.

Fraternal Insignia
Posted by
Linda Matthews was just one of the people who answered my
call for pictures of ancestors in fraternal uniforms
. She inherited this wonderful photo of her cousin Carl Lager.
Carl was born April 23, 1854, in Sweden, and died Feb. 15, 1935, in Henry County, Ill. According to a short biography of him in the three-volume
History of Swedes in Illinois
(published in 1908 and available on
Google Book Search
), he was a Mason, a Knight Templar, an Odd Fellow, a Knight of Pythias and a Mystic Shriner.
He also was a Major in the Patriarchs Miiltant, the uniformed branch of the Odd Fellows. Matthews wondered about his uniform in this photo and suggested it's Patriarchs Militant attire.
She's right. The three interlocking rings is the symbol for the Odd Fellows while the symbol on his hat identifies the specific group within the organization.
You'll find photos of the insignia on his hat online

Fraternal Membership Clue
Posted by
David Farmer wrote asking about a photo of his paternal grandfather. It's on metal and depicts Charles Birchfield Farmer in his work clothes.
Charlie Birchfield Farmer was a farmer. He stands in front of a barn and an old wheel. Tucked into his overalls is a pistol, and slung across his chest is a canteen for when he got thirsty working in the fields.
Farmer was born in 1885 in northeast Tennessee and lived in southwest Virginia. This image depicts him in the early part of the 20th century. as a young man, so I'd estimate this was taken before 1910. Any gun experts out there want to take a look at his pistol? That could narrow the time frame even further.
Photographs could appear on any type of surface that could be coated with light-sensitive chemicals, such as metal, leather, fabric and porcelain. In this case, it's a metal frame.
The most unusual part of the image wasn't its setting, but the letters and symbols surrounding Farmer's portrait. David wants to know what the letters
The interlocking three rings at the top of the frame indicate Farmer was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the FLT—that stands for the group's slogan, "Friendship, Love, Truth."
If you have an image of an ancestor in a fraternal costume,
send it in
. I'll feature it in an upcoming column.

Curly Locks: A Trend Revealed
Posted by
I asked for it. I posted a request for images of curly-headed tots and now I've got several. Thank you!!
They confirm my hypothesis about boys and hair. It appears that in the early 20th century, there was a trend—little boys with long hair and hair bows. They look just like their sisters. What's a genealogist to do to tell them apart?
Family traditions, oral histories and good old-fashioned genealogical research are the only ways to tell the boys from the girls in these cases. Don't jump to conclusions when you see a bow in this period—you might be wrong. Add up the kids in the family, ask older relatives if they know who's who, and try to match up their ages to kids in the photo using census returns and other documents.
Here's an image Esther Thompson sent me:
Her emails says it all "This is a picture of my great-grandparents William and Ida Johnson, and the boy in the front with the curls (and bow in his hair) is my grandfather Andrew Clyde Johnson, born in 1897. I got this picture from my Dad's sister and when I asked her who the little girl was, she said, 'that little girl is your grandfather.' I couldn't believe it."
Here's a close-up. Enjoy!

Family Portraits: Boy or Girl?
Posted by
Elva Martin sent me this picture to help settle a family reunion disagreement.
See the child in the second row on the far right? The one with a bow in the hair? Do you think this is a boy or a girl?
The picture is an example of confusing details even when you know the name of everyone in a photo.
Martin's clan is clear about this being the Peter Mower family. They even have a date for the picture, 1910.
It's that troublesome child causing the disagreement. "Petter" Mower, his wife and their nine children appear in the 1910 census for Saugerties, NY. Their oldest, Harry (age 16) stands proudly in the back. Leona (3) sits on her father's lap while baby Marion is with Mom.
The rest of the boys are Leory (15), Arnold (13), Adelbert (11), Orie (10), Louis (7) and Everett (5). Orie is supposed to be the child with the bow, but did boys wear bows in the their hair and long curls? The answer is, sometimes!
I know I've written columns about the ways boys and girls wore their hair parted—boys on the side and girls down the center—but there are always exceptions. Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1886 book,
Little Lord Fauntleroy
, featured a main character named Cedric whose mother dressed him in a "black velvet suit, with a lace collar, and with love-locks." You can read the whole text for free on the
Project Gutenberg site
. But Burnett didn't start the trend, she only popularized it.
Throughout the centuries, there have been mothers who couldn't bear to cut the gorgeous curls from their little boys' heads. It appears Orie's mom couldn't either. Of all the children in the portrait, Orie resembles her the most.
He has her mouth, eyes, nose and even the same-shape face. Perhaps he was her favorite. It's impossible to know, unless there's a family story about Orie's place in his mother's affections.
Despite the family disagreement about his sex, this child is a boy.
E-mail me
your old pictures of boys in curls and I'll feature them in a future blog. For now, this is another picture puzzle solved.

New Discovery in Photo History
Posted by
This story is so good I couldn't wait until next week to blog about it. The April 17
New York Times
ran a story, "
An Image is a Mystery for Photo Detectives
." This is one mystery I wish I was actively working on.
Turns out
William Fox Talbot
probably wasn't the first person to develop paper images.
There was a circle of friends in England who tinkered with photographic processes as early as the 1790s. While the news doesn't change when daguerreotypes were patented (1839), this tale of photo detecting focuses on a series of clues relating to who took the images of leaves the
New York Times
reports on.
I've written about provenance, i.e. the trail of ownership of an heirloom or photo, and in this one case it's key. Photo historians attributed these leaf pictures to Talbot, but now a historian familiar with his work doesn't believe that to be true. It's like a Pandora's Box of photo history. If this one picture isn't Talbots, then likely several others aren't attributed properly, too.
It's a great tale. Sotheby's is going to auction some of these pieces, but right now photo scholars are trying to figure out the true photographer.

Belieu Babies
Posted by
Within moments of posting
last week's column
on the pictures of Catherine Denison Belieu and her babies, I received an e-mail from Midge Frazel, Denison family historian. Turns out there's nothing simple about those Belieu kids. Did Catherine have 11, 12 or 13 children? It's still being debated.
I wrote that the family traveled to Oregon by boat, but another family historian commented that the family could have traveled overland. She's right, but this family took the water route. You can read Midge's note about how the family got to Oregon by
clicking Comments
below last week's piece.
So which babies are depicted in these portraits? Catherine's clothing is a simple dress with a small collar accented by a pin. This helps date the picture to a short time frame, the mid-1860s to at least 1869. After 1869, women's collars changed. Of course there's no guarantee Catherine stopped wearing her older clothing into the early 1870s.
Catherine and her husband, John Asbury Belieu, had several children in the late 1860s and early 1870s.
Sarah Naomi Alice, born Dec. 4, 1864; died June 13, 1867.
Jesse Leander, born Oct. 11, 1866.
M. Elizabeth Evalin, born Feb. 3, 1869. This Eva is supposed to be Carole Hayden's great-grandmother, but some genealogists claim this child died in 1872. There's a mistake in here somewhere.
James Asbury Elmer, born Jan. 2, 1871
It's likely the two babies in the photos are two of these children, but it's difficult to assign names. I think that at least one of them is Sarah, who died in 1867. It was a common practice to pose for a picture with a first child.
The two images show different children. I've come to that conclusion by comparing the shapes of their heads—they're slightly different. Both children wear dresses, but you can't jump to the conclusion they're girls. The mother could be reusing a garment from her first baby.
Regardless of who's who, these two images are treasures for the Denison/Belieu family. Now here's a challenge to other descendants. Do you own pictures of Catherine with her other children?
Send them in
and let's really try to settle the question of which baby is which.

Family Travels and Family Photos
Posted by
Every family has significant events documented in photographs. For immigrant families, that usually meant taking a group picture before a loved one left home. The immigrant also often sent pictures home to show he'd arrived in one piece and was happy.
In some families, photographs don't actually document the travels, they become the icon for the retelling of a family story. Carole Hayden owns two images of women with a baby. She found them in a box of newspaper clippings saved by her great-great-grandmother, Catherine Lavinia Denison (born in 1848).
When Catherine was a mere 2 years old, her parents took her to Oregon. In those days, that meant boarding a ship and sailing around the tip of South America. Approximately 6,000 other people also made that trip. If you've got an ancestor who decided to settle in Oregon in 1850, you can check his or her name against this
online list of pioneers
. It's not comprehensive and the Denison family doesn't appear there, but you might get lucky.
Now Catherine's descendant wants to know the significance of these two tintype images. Do they show the same woman?
Definitely! These images depict the same mother, but is the baby the same? That depends how many children Catherine Denison had with her husband Asbury Belieu. They married in 1863, and judging from her clothing, these two pictures were taken in the year or two after their marriage. Family history research would provide information on when their children were born and the sex of the babies. The babies in both images appear to be female.
I need to do a little more research before I can answer the rest of Carole's questions. Back next week with more!
By the way, thank you to everyone who added comments about
last week's column
. You'll have to look at the column and the comments to see my response :)

Internet Tag: Happy Baby Photo
Posted by
I love the blogosphere!
This week the sharp-eyed Kathryn M. Doyle of the
California Genealogical Society
sent me a posting she spotted on the
Genealogue blog
about a baby photo. Chris (the Genealogue) threw out a comment that he'd love to see what I'd say about
this smiling, barely dressed tyke
The photo shows a toddler in a droopy diaper. I can't copy the photo here, but you can see the original posting on the
Swapatorium: A Journey Through Junkland
blog. It's an odd picture. The child's stocking are dark; and the diaper, light-colored. He's probably around 2 years old.
But it's not his lack of attire that grabs the viewer. This kid's an optimist. His diaper is falling down and he's got to be uncomfortable, but he's
. It's great to see a 19th-century picture of someone with a full grin—doesn't happen very often.
The wicker chair and animal-fur rug date the picture to as early as the 1890s. Anyone want to help me out by researching the photographer, Bigelow of St. Joseph, Mo.?
Why pose him just in a diaper? There are two reasons: First, the mother is showing off her healthy kid. Second, believe it or not, it was the style in the late-19th century to pose in your undies. I've got one I'll share sometime, a middle-age woman in a chemise.
Send me pictures of your smiling ancestors and I'll post them in my new
album. It's fun to see what's in other people's photo collections. SmugMug's security settings let me watermark your images and prevent right-click copying.

A CYCLE shop owner has wheeled out a Facebook campaign to give the Mersey Valley Visitor Centre a new lease of life.
Arek Bartniczak, who runs The Bike Barn hire and repair service on Rifle Road, said the facility in Sale Water Park has been open for just one day a week for the past two years.
Arek, who is originally from Poland said: "My proposition is to change it into a multi-purpose community centre, connected with a normal and electric bike hire and be part of a basic outdoor shop that would offer basic equipment for every activity and it would be used by the community."
Arek would like the shop to offer equipment for activities ranging from walking to horse riding.
He would also like the new centre to offer information on the attractions the area has to offer and he believes this would help to boost visitor numbers.
Arek said since the opening hours have been cut his business has taken over the role once carried out by the Mersey Valley Visitor Centre and added that the facility now boasts one member of staff.
Executive Councillor Alan Mitchell, said: "The Mersey Valley Visitor Centre has been operating reduced opening hours since May last year. Toilet facilities and the café are unaffected and continue to remain open as usual. We want to see this facility thrive again, and will be working closely with partner organisations and other interested parties to find the best way of moving forward to achieve this. In the meantime, we are continuing to maintain the centre, including the recent replacement of the building's roof, to ensure that it can continue to operate for the benefit of visitors now and in the future."
