Hello- I realize that this module accomplishes things that others can. I have a site that has items restricted by taxonomy and based on various roles I have created- there is also not a menu item for certain roles. Not only can they not see it- they also cannot access it with the combination of taxonomy and this module, using only the "primary links" menu- this has worked flawlessly for me for some time. I recently updated to 6.x-1.8 and then after checking the new permission box, my primary links menu (all of it) was seen by all roles. I double checked the permissions that had worked right before the update but they have not changed. I have had to revert back to make it work. I did not try to recreate the entire menu as it did not make sense that I would need to. What is so different about 6.x-1.8 that it would update and work as is? This has not been a problem with updates before. I have been using this module successfully for some time.
Comment #1AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Hi rkbreneman,
First, I'm sorry that it broke something on your site. Not the intend!
As for what has changed, I generally try to include the changes in the notes. http://drupal.org/node/945832
It is generally a copy of the CVS log messages. http://drupal.org/project/cvs/107330
Just for the record there are the changes I made. The two things I could think of are the optimization (1st entry) or the administrator permission (last entry) although that last one is very unlikely since you probably don't have all the users defined as a menu per role administrator. The problem with the INSERT and the DELETE would not have any effect until you edit a menu and since you said you did not do any of that, I would assume that's not the problem.
* Optimization #831760: Excessive database queries: Excessive database queries
* Added a test before the INSERT to make 100% sure that the row does not already exist (only for MySQL, in version 5.1.x it fails returning the matched count and returns the affected rows only, so if nothing changed it looks the same as if the row did not exist...)
* Enhanced the menu_per_role table management by deleting the rows that are empty (since empty is the default, we do not need to save those.)
* Fix for #769518: Error: duplicate entry 414 (INSERT INTO menu_per_role ...) -- dropping the default on the mlid field.
* Menu per role administrator are viewed as User UID 1 and thus see all the hidden menus.
So... first checking that the roles you are testing are not menu per role administrators would be a good thing.
As for the database queries, if it is not working right, then we need to debug them. That would be the only thing that could create a problem, although it looks like it works for me just fine... that doesn't mean it would work for everyone. As a test, you can search for the "Top Secret" menu entry on this page:
You won't see it as an anonymous user.
Thank you.
Comment #3AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Hi rkbreneman,
Just in case, I tested Tacle & Menu per Role and it works. So that's probably not it.
Tacle uses the Grant system of D6, indeed. Menu per Role just goes through the menu and remove items that are chosen as hidden via an Alter hook.
If somehow that hook doesn't get called then the Menu per Role would not be effective. Or if it's called at the wrong time? Hmmm...
First I mark all the links as alterable with this hook:
function menu_per_role_menu_link_alter(&$item, $menu)
$item['options']['alter'] = TRUE;
Second you have the function that checks whether a menu item is enabled or not:
function menu_per_role_translated_menu_link_alter(&$item, $map)
// avoid checking the role if the item access is already false
if ($item['access'] && _menu_per_role_access($item['mlid']) === FALSE) {
$item['access'] = FALSE;
If the _menu_per_role_access() function always returns FALSE, then the entire menu would disappear. If you look at the function, I check UID = 1 first and if you are the all almighty god then you will see the menu item (return is not FALSE.) If not, then there is another problem. Same thing with the 'administer menu_per_role' permission test.
Are you a programmer? If so, you can test by adding code or messages to try to see what's happening.
drupal_set_message('Some message here', 'error');
Thank you.
Comment #5AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Well... Wannabes are nice creatures 8-)
First of all, we could check to make sure that the menu link alter function is being called.
function menu_per_role_translated_menu_link_alter(&$item, $map)
drupal_set_message('Menu-Link alter called', 'error');
// avoid checking the role if the item access is already false
if ($item['access'] && _menu_per_role_access($item['mlid']) === FALSE) {
$item['access'] = FALSE;
If not, there is a conflict, somehow. For instance, the Simplemenu module does not call the system functions and skips on a certain number of callbacks at this time. That's one example of why this wouldn't work...
Thank you.
Comment #6izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
I have also encountered this problem with update.
Did not realize at first because users with permissions to administer menu_per_role see the menu item.
However, the roles selected all but anonymous (by hiding from specific roles, anonymous) can not see the menu item.
Site does not use taxonomy access but does use organic groups.
This module has worked flawlessly before. Reverting to 6.x-1.7 resolves the problem.
Comment #7AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Would you please try to remove the user_access('administer menu_per_role') from the following and let me know whether that fixes the problem:
function _menu_per_role_access($mlid) {
global $user;
if ($user->uid == 1 || empty($mlid) /*|| user_access('administer menu_per_role')*/ ) {
// Admins do not lose access whatever this module would otherwise say
// Also, if the menu link identifier is not set, ignore the request
return NULL;
Thank you.
Alexis Wilke
Comment #8izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
Tested suggestion in #7 but it does not fix the problem.
Comment #9izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
I see there is now another issue Menu's not appearing for roles which is describing the same problem. I am not sure if this or the other should be marked as duplicate.
Comment #10AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Do you have problems with any role or the Admin (UID #1)? Because the "fix" in #7 does not prevent the admin from seeing everything still since there is still this test:
if ($user->uid == 1 ...
Making that part of the test a comment would help...
function _menu_per_role_access($mlid) {
global $user;
if (/*$user->uid == 1*/ || empty($mlid) /*|| user_access('administer menu_per_role')*/ ) {
// Admins do not lose access whatever this module would otherwise say
// Also, if the menu link identifier is not set, ignore the request
return NULL;
Comment #11izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
My apologies for the lack of clarity in #6.
The test case is a primary menu item that is a link to a group home page that is public (og).
The menu path = node/... for the specific group home page.
The menu_per_role module is used to hide this menu item from anonymous users and one other role.
With version 6.x-1.8 the menu item is still visible to anonymous users, it is not hidden.
Version 6.x-1.7 and earlier worked fine.
I hope this is more helpful.
Comment #12AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
All of you... would you mind to list the modules that you are using on your website? I'm thinking there could be some conflict.
Also, if you could find the time to test 1.8 with a Drupal Core install and see whether that works for you as you'd expect and report your results here, it would be paradise! 8-)
Thank you for your time.
Alexis Wilke
Comment #13izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
@AlexisWilke, ok I was able to test 6.x-1.8 on a vanilla Drupal 6.19 install and it works.
To test,
User permissions: anonymous users can access content.
Create page or story:
Title "Hello",
Body = whatever text,
Menu title = Hello,
Parent = Primary menu.
Restrict visibility:
either show to only authenticated
or hide from anonymous
Both work. The menu item is hidden from anonymous users.
So, now the big task of finding the conflicting module(s) that is happy with 6.x-1.7 but breaks 6.x-1.8
I'll see if I can test a simple og install and report my findings.
Comment #14izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
I have re-tested the use case described in #11 again and the upgrade from version 6.x-1.7 to 1.8 does indeed work. The site has og and many other modules.
I am now trying to identify if there is another use case that caused the problem and was the basis of the post in #6. I'll report back my findings.
Comment #15AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
So... I'm not going completely crazy here... 8-)
og is often the culprit, but I'm not too surprised that this is not it on this one. This is not a permission problem. It's linked to roles.
The main change comes from someone else although I made it even better (his idea was excellent to start with!). The function is the one used to retrieve the set of role ids before matching them against the user roles. I would think those are what has an impact. It is quite optimized in 1.8 (in comparison to 1.7.)
The database is the same (nothing changed there.)
Comment #16izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
No, you are not going crazy. And I'm sorry to have contributed to the grief. At least you can start the New Year with less stress. Now I have the grief of trying to understand the hiccup I encountered six weeks ago.
Is there any caching that might give an initial temporary failure, not that I have good evidence that is happening?
Comment #17AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Note that according to the stats, a little over 3,000 people use 1.8. So if there was a major problem, I think I'd know about it by now... 8-)
Thank you & be well.

Comment #18izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
ok, call me a yo-yo. There is a bug and it is reproducible.
Using the setup in #13
test 6.x-1.8 on a vanilla Drupal 6.19 install
To test,
User permissions: anonymous users can access content.
Create page or story:
Title "Hello",
Body = whatever text,
Menu title = Hello,
Parent = Primary links.
Restrict visibility:
either show to authenticated
or hide from anonymous
Both work. The menu item is hidden from anonymous users.
The acid test is to remember that the menu should not be hidden from roles other than anonymous.
Login as an authenticated user, or other role but not one with permissions to administer menu_per_role and voila, the menu item is hidden - not visible !
If you login with a role that has permission to administer menu_per_role the menu item is not hidden and you may be misled to thinking things are working as expected.
My apologies for not being on top of this earlier. This is the problem I was attempting to describe in #6. It is easily reproducible.
Comment #19AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
I think I'll just call you Izzy. The problem is that the menu information is not saved on creation of a node. I had not understood another bug report I got, that's what the problem is. If you re-edit the same node and look at the settings, you'll notice that it is not set... Set it then, save and it will work.
The fix might involve a patch to Core... 8-P
Thank you.
Comment #20AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Okay. Got it. 8-)
We had to implement a hook_nodeapi() function to properly save the menu per role information on an 'insert'.
Version 6.x-1.x-dev will include the fix. I will do an update to 1.9 once you confirm that this works for you too.
Thank you for your patience!
Comment #21izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
In answer to #19, checking the node again the settings appear correct and even after saving again the problem persists and menu item is not visible to authenticated users, so it is not just a problem on node create but I did notice some issue with settings not taking consistently on node creation during my testing.
I will test the new dev version and report back.
Comment #22izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
I have tested the new dev version on a vanilla Drupal 6.19 install.
I think there are two separate issues.
#1009944: Changes to visibility aren't being saved which may be fixed by the change.
However, this issue is not fixed.
The crux of this issue is that menu_per_role must both hide the menu item from some roles and allow it to be visible to others. That is not happening. It is hiding the menu items from roles (e.g. anonymous), but also hides the item from all roles expect those that have permission to administer menu_per_role. It works fine in version 1.7
I hope this helps to identify where the logic change is.
Comment #23AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Let me make sure that we both agree on what is supposed to happen:
* User A is a member of role P
* User B is a member of role Q
* User C is a member of role P and Q
* Menu item X is marked as hidden to role P
* Menu item Y is marked as visible to role Q
* Menu item Z is marked as hidden to role P and visible to role Q
What is visible:
User A sees menu item Y. X and Z are hidden to P and thus from A.
Use B sees X, Y and Z.
Use C sees Y. X and Z are hidden to P and thus from C.
Notice that Z is hidden from C even though it says "visible to role Q". This is because the "hidden to role P" has priority over the "visible to role Q". There is no option to change this priority.
In that regard and as far as I know, version 1.8 is supposed to have the same logic as 1.7.
Thank you.
Comment #24AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Never mind... 8-)
I posted a new patch on the other issue, but it most certainly (again) is the same problem.
Thank you.
Comment #25izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
I'll check out the new patch.
Meanwhile, the simplest view of the problem might be,
Create a node as a menu item or select a menu item.
Restrict visibility to hide from anonymous users only and save.
All other roles should be able to see menu item when logged in.
Roles with permission to administer menu_per_role do see menu item as expected.
Other less privileged roles, such as simply authenticated, should see the menu item but do not.
Comment #26AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Yes. and the following would create an entry with an array including the key [0] which is the anonymous user.
$v = explode(',', '');
Which is a problem when we expect the array to be empty (i.e. array() instead of array(0 => '').)
Thank you.
Comment #27izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented

Comment #29AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
Cool, I'll wait a week or so to see if anyone else says they still have problems similar to this one.
Thank you for your patience and time for testing the changes.
Comment #30izmeez CreditAttribution: izmeez commented
Would it help to change the title of the issue to something more descriptive of the problem, maybe something like:
"When updating to 6.x-1.8 Menu per role, menu items also hidden from other roles not selected"
Comment #31AlexisWilke CreditAttribution: AlexisWilke commented
|When updating to 6.x-1.8 Menu per Role stops working
|» Use of "hidden from role" menu items in 6.x-1.8 causes Menu per Role to stop working (fixed)
Well... I think there is a mix between the two bugs I've fixed between this issue and the other one. There seems to really be another problem with that other menu module (menu_access).
Anyway, I went ahead and changed the title. I guess we will soon close this issue and keep the other one open. I may test with a fresh install and menu_access to see if I can reproduce problems with it.
Thank you.
Alexis Wilke

Okay, all of that should be in 6.x-1.9

Rich Cronin, Frontman Of LFO, Is Dead At 35
You may not know Rich Cronin, the frontman of the late '90s group LFO, by name—he never hit it as big as some of his fellow boy banders. But if you watch the video for LFO's biggest hit, "Summer Girls," you will quickly recognize him as the one who likes girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch. I'm sad to report that Rich died yesterday—he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005 and had a related stroke this week. Sad! Rich grew up in Massachusetts and formed a group called Lyte Funky Ones with two friends. They later changed their name to LFO, and were managed by Lou Pearlman, who was also the puppeteer behind *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. LFO put out two albums and toured, opening for Britney Spears. Their second big hit, "Girl on TV," starred Rich's then-girlfriend, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
By 2003, Rich had gotten sick of being a boy bander. LFO went on hiatus, and Rich started a less wholesome group called Bad Mood Mike. Next, he appeared on VH1's "Mission: Man Band," which also featured members of 98 Degrees and Color Me Badd.
In 2008, Rich finally put out a solo album called Billion Dollar Sound. So we know he'd much rather be remembered for this song … which, I'll admit, totally got me a little teary. [MTV, Wikipedia]

Utah bill on grazing in Escalante surprises monument's manager
Utah state Rep. Mike Noel said HB382, which designates a "grazing zone" over and around the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, was needed because grazing within the 1.9-million-acre national monument was endangered, but monument manager Rene Berkhoudt, who said no one contacted him or other monument officials, said grazing is allowed in the monument and the only thing that drives fluctuations in permits is conditions on the ground; the House passed the bill.

In 2010, hiding the nParticles will no more evaluate them...
Is this a bug ? or is this a new super-feature included in the most famous cg package in the world :/ ?
Anyway, it's not documented anywhere...

About Me-Currently unavailable in Chicago and for travel until early December due to school-
-If I do not respond to your message quickly, do not assume I am ignoring you. I am very busy and do not have time to use the computer every day. I will respond to you within two weeks, though. If you would like to contact me, please do, but please do not be quick to offense by my inevitably slow responses. Thank you-
I am best described as an actress. I desire for each of my pieces, plays or photographs, to tell a story and portray a personality. My experience comes in the form of theatrical productions and a few shoots. I come to Model Mayhem to find more experience. I feel that I am only barely scratching the surface of artistic photography. I would love to find many photographers to work and collaborate with.
I am a fan of Victorian, Gothic, and otherwise unique fashions. I adore Gothic photography and photographers able to shoot truly Gothic works of art. Recently, my attention has been drawn in by the Japanese visual kei styles. In addition to that, I am also a huge fan of cosplay. Despite my preference in fashions, I am willing to experiment with anything.
Due to my temporary inexperience with modeling, I am most attracted to photographers that are willing to teach me the ins and outs of posing, of how to position myself under light, and the other more difficult aspects of modeling. Photographers that have ideas of what types of shots they want, of the themes they want, and of the clothing they want to see me wear; I look for those types of photographers eagerly.
On another note. I absolutely adore all of the comments left. They flatter me to no end. However, I am awful with responding to comments. Messages work so much better. Feel free to comment by every means, though. I just find that I catch messages faster.
Again, it has been a pleasure working with those of you who I have worked with and I hope to continue to meet and work with you all. Thank you very much!
Much to my dismay, I am unavailable in Chicago until late November/early December due to work and school. If you are in the Galesburg area, we can certainly make something work between those time periods though!

A friend of mine has an RC96 on a MICOR repeater. He complained about a slight amount of clock noise on the Tx audio. It was there all the time, whether or not the squelch was open. Now, I've had switching noise on RC85 and RC96's as the caps in the negative supply started to age, but this was different. It was fairly low-level, but noticible if you listened for it. Anyway, long story short, I found the source of the noise. I thought I'd pass it along in case you have the similiar noise on yours.
The noise was getting into the "direct Tx in" line (DVR connector pin 1). Left unterminated, the trace that goes to that pin makes a very nice antenna and sucks in a lot of clock noise. Terminating it with a 4.7K resistor got rid of the noise completely. I found a convenient spot on the board to install the resistor; if you don't want to go through the aggravation, just put the resistor in a DIN plug between pin 1 (TX audio mixer input) and pin 2 (the audio ground pin) on the DVR connector and plug it in.

As Chapter II ended, the reader waited for a segway to Chapter III. That smooth transition never happened.
Chapter III, Of Labor and Love.
KAVIKA: Now that Enoch and Kavika are considered as men of respect, time is nigh for these big men on the Rez to act the part.
They headed down to the local furniture store, Trinkets R Us that was run by Aunt Sarah and Auntie Many Eyes (one brown, one blue - a result of many years of cross begetting).
The blood brothers wanted to buy Indigenous American. At Trinkets R Us they found two LA Z Brave rocker recliners. All parts and assembly guaranteed done by Native American manufacturers and workers. This has been certified by the Red Brick Building On The Red, White and Blue Street Corner Company (A wholly owned subsidiary of Mumbai-Beijing Industries. Trafalgar Square, The Cayman Islands).
The next step for the men was to set up the sticks of domestic furniture next to the Purdoo Foul Ball Lacrosse Field to watch the weekend afternoon match up. It was the Ojibwe Rednecks vs. the Jewish Whiteboys.
Hebrew Nat was not to be left out. A man's best friend is a man's best friend. The brothers in blood bought her a cradle board, and carried her Cleopatra style to the game with her favorite package of potato chips, Wise original.
Kavika and Enoch were both ready for an afternoon of rooting for their home teams as the Cheerleaders ran onto the field shaking their pom poms, and some odd looking but functional things they grasped in their hands to assist while leading cheers.
Kavika jumped to his feet when he saw the most beautiful women in the world. She stood out not only because of beauty, but also because she was a Redhead. Neither of the blood brothers had ever seen a Redhead before.
Kavika turned to Enoch and asked him, do you think there was a Viking in the woodpile? You know those guys really get around. Enoch was stunned by the lack of decorum shown by his closest friend. Putz! he exclaimed, as he smacked him upside his head. Gevalt Kavika, where are your manners?
But Kavika didn't hear a word his life long buddy said. He stared googly eyed over the Redhead. Kavika was mesmerized by the freckles on her lovely face. They were like little stars floating across the creamy smoothness of her pretty facial skin.
Enoch, my blood brother, I think I am in love. Enoch could see it was love at first sight. He knew Kavika's emotions as well or better than his own. It is like that with blood brothers. You grow up together, you read each others souls.
Kavika grabbed his "love flute". Hebrew Nat always had one handy just in case Kavika or Enoch fell into lust. After all, it was the Natinator who invented "Doggie Style". It is a canine form of musical courtship.
Kavika commenced to play the flute. Its sweet haunting refrain wafted through the air, along with the aromatics of freshly made Frybread and Matza Brei from the concession stands.
It was the alluring combination of the concession fragrances, the romantic strains from Kavika's love flute, and the rugged good looks and rock hard physique of Kavika's statuesque solid warrior frame, coupled with the handsome facial features and the kindness in his eyes that stopped the Redhead cold in her cheer-leading tracks.
Who could resist the appeal of a Redhead of such elegance, or a warrior of such machismo? Nature kicked in. This wasn't about nationality, it was all biology. Yanni and Helena Rubinstein would have been proud of the effects the flute and make-up had on these two star crossed young lovers.
It was a whirlwind courtship. Kavika showed up at the home of the Redheads parents. Any thing worth doing is worth doing well. He wanted to earn the approval of her folks. Her father Sol the-Red, and her mother Lily-of-the-Fields were old school. They hyphenated to keep the traditions alive and well. Both were less-than-happy that Kavika was courting their daughter. Each were more concerned with the happiness-of-their-daughter.
After a whirlwind courtship, Kavika brought the Redhead to meet his parents at their family condowam. He introduced the Redhead to his father Done-Begetting, and his mother Oh-No-More-Begetting. Things went generally well. References to freckles, Redhair, and Vikings not-with-standing.
Ojibwe venerate their parents, as we all do.
With parental approval of the obviously meritorious young Lady, Kavika asked for her hand in marriage. She happily accepted. Kavika withheld the fact that this was a package deal from her.
The very next day, Kavika relayed that he had sealed the deal. He told Enoch, and Hebrew Nat they were also to play a part in this. Kavika told Enoch and Hebrew Nat that Enoch was to be the best man, the Nat-o-Rama the Maid of Honor. This is to be an eclectic wedding. Well suited to the diverse groups involved.
Word spread throughout the Rez that there would be a Jewish/Ojibwe wedding, catered by the inorganics department of Jays' Diner and Unnatural Ethnic Food Emporium. Forty Days and Forty Nights of reverie. Tum ta tum tum tums!
ENOCH: Of Labor and Love. My first job was with Rez Lawn Moyhel. "We Don't Just Landscape Your Yard, We Circumcise It"!
My task was to snip the hedges. I got minimum wage plus tips. I collected clippings, conjoined them, rubbed them, and made expandable wreaths.
One afternoon I drove my Ram's Horn Truck ("A Little Sheep, and A Little Ewe") to the tent of a client. The customer wasn't home. Her daughter of twenty summers and fifteen winters (don't question a woman about her age, ever), greeted me at the door. She dressed casually. The early morning sunlight caught her flip hairdo just right. It highlighted her naturally brown hair and eyes. Seeing it was like beholding a rare high end art exhibit. Breathtaking. And life isn't measured by how many breaths you take. Rather its value is in how profoundly your breath is taken by the natural highs of living.
I took my trusty Hedge Muncher to the green spiny shrubs surrounding her abode. She opened the window, and made lunch for me. I was entranced by the smells of her home cooking. Doodles Fromage Melt Au Gratin, with a dusting of Fermented Curds. Sparkling Perrier and Soda. Ice Cream A la Mode. You can spot a graduate of the Hadassah Close Cover Before Striking Correspondence Institute of Culinary Alchemy and Plumbing Repair a mile away.
As specified in the work order, I shaped the hedges into a family portrait. There were shrubs mirroring relatives with one good eye, teeth like the stars (they come out at night); and one whose bodice resembeld a Bas Relief of Mt. Rushmore on Steroids. From such stock could only come lasting beauty, I thought to myself.
Completing my work, she invited me in for lunch. As my blood brother Kavika and I arrived as men, we went in search of our fortunes. Single, industrious, with the vigor and muscularity of youth, these facts were items not lost on the young and single of the fairer gender on the Rez, in both tribal communities.
I left my boots at the doorstep, entering the house in Argyle socks, and kissing the decorative metalically framed Torah parchment on the door frame, as is our custom. On the 15th of every month, we launder, and exchange Argyle socks with our neighbors. The folkway is silly, meaningless, and not entirely sane. But with its true origins lost to history, we do it anyway. It is a bond which brings us closer to each other. And that is a good enough reason for otherwise pointless traditions to be kept.
A moderate eater, I noted she over filled my plate. I remained silent. One does not disrespect the hospitality of a Hostess. I offered that she join me in this sumptuous repast. She demurred. She is on a South Beach Diet. Its composed mostly of sand and kelp. As I ate, she picked at the tidbits on my plate with her fork.
Its one of those behaviors that is cute, adorable, and makes a young person feel connected to a new friend. Years later it will annoy the stuffing out of you. Fairness will out. There are things I do that once she treasured. Now she winces at the thought of them.
As we related and masticated, suddenly a thought crystalized in my brain. What's wrong with minimum wage and tips for a first job out of school? My student loans did exceed the annual gross product of fifteen third world nations. Yet today's minimum wage would have made me wealthy in the 12th century B.C.E. My problem wasn't an unbalanced budget. I was working in the wrong century!
More roughage, she asked? Urrp! I think I had enough, I gasped. Any more tubers and I might become a Flamingstone tire centerpiece.
She softly inquired if I had ever fallen in love. I responded no. I had been known to step in it a time or two.
The sun sank like a canoe rowed by Chris Christie in the lake. The fiery orange celestial glow ball seemed extinguished by the cool fresh waters. Daylight instantly melted into the darkness of evening.
I asked her if she liked dancing. Yes, she smiled. I adore dancing. What a co-incidence, I observed. I live driving distance to people who enjoy that sort of thing. Then it's a date, she confirmed.
Shall we say 8:00 PM EST (9:00 CST), I asked?
In unison, we both together said, 8:00 PM EST (9:00 PM CST).
We laughed and held hands.
The rest is history.

Spinach Tortelloni with Leeks and Gorgonzola
This recipe is from the book Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking which was published in 2008, therefore you may have difficulty finding the exact ingredients that were available then.
We have kept these recipes on the site as we know many people have adapted them to what is currently available. Vegetarians may like to know that there is a parmesan style hard cheese available form Bookhams.com
This recipe is from Delia's How To Cheat at Cooking. Serves 4
- method
- Ingredients
First, in a wide pan, heat the crème fraîche, then add the leeks along with a good seasoning of salt and pepper.
Keep the heat low and let them cook gently for about 5 minutes without a lid. Meanwhile pre-heat the grill and fill a saucepan with 1.5 litres of very hot water, add a few drops of oil and some salt and bring it up to the boil. Now give the leeks a stir and grate in the nutmeg, and when they're tender remove them from the heat. When the water bubbles, add the tortelloni and time it to cook for 2 minutes.
After that drain it quickly in a colander, then leaving some of the water clinging to it tip it into the saucepan to join the leeks. Give it all a good stir, then using a spatula, spoon it all into the gratin dish, stirring in half the gorgonzola and scattering the rest on top.
To finish off mix the ciabatta breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan together then sprinkle this all over, whack it under the grill (about 3 inches from the heat) and give it about 1½ minutes, or until the crumbs have become brown and crisp.
A leafy salad with raw strips of fennel and a lemon dressing would be the ideal accompaniment.

REGIONAL BRIEFS: Woman dies after car hits her
Credit: Forum News Service
Woman dies after car hits her
DULUTH -- A 65-year-old woman was fatally injured when she was hit by a vehicle Sunday night in St. Louis County.
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office reported that witnesses reported seeing a woman lying on Industrial Road about 9:15 p.m. Before they could turn around to assist her, the woman got up and was standing next to a bicycle when she was struck by another vehicle traveling eastbound.
The woman, Charlene Kelly, was airlifted to St. Luke's hospital in Duluth. She died at 4:30 a.m., St. Louis County Sheriff Sgt. Wade Rasch said.
Kelly's family reported that she suffered from dementia and had been gone on a bike ride for some time Sunday; family and friends were searching for her at the time of the accident.
The sheriff's office said no criminal charges are expected against the driver of the car that hit her, a 17-year-old Proctor boy.
Blackduck man indicted for death
MINNEAPOLIS -- Federal prosecutors have indicted Dustin Michael Johnson of Blackduck for manslaughter in the death of a Redby woman last fall in a traffic accident.
Blackduck is northeast of Bemidji; Redby is on the Red Lake Indian Reservation northwest of Bemidji.
The indictment handed down last week says Johnson, 27, was driving drunk when the vehicle crashed Oct. 23 on state highway 15, killing the female passenger. He's charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter, each with a maximum penalty of eight years in prison if he's convicted.
Because it happened on the Red Lake reservation, the FBI led the investigation, along with the Red Lake Tribal Police Department. The U.S. attorney's office is prosecuting it.
Former clerk accused of swindling city
WILLOW RIVER, Minn. -- The former Willow River city clerk will make her first court appearance next week on a charge that she stole more than $167,000 from the city to support a gambling problem.
Mary Angela Leonard, 56, was charged earlier this month with a single felony count of theft by swindle.
According to court documents, the swindle was discovered after Northview Bank informed the city Aug. 13 that Leonard was cashing multiple city checks written to her. City Council member Tom Jensen reviewed bank records for 2007 through 2012. Starting in 2009, he found checks written out to Leonard.
Jensen spoke with Leonard on Aug. 14 and told her that she was suspended.
Leonard "told him that she has a gambling problem and admitted to stealing money," the criminal complaint said.
Pine County Sheriff Sgt. Jeff Nelson later met with Leonard and her attorney. In a voluntary statement, Leonard said she would write a check to herself and sign the mayor's name on it. She would then record the check stem under a legitimate account.
North Dakota
Fargo, Cass to combine sandbag forces
FARGO - The city and county will combine sandbag-filling efforts next week to begin fighting what may be one of the worst floods in recorded history in Fargo.
Leaders said Monday at a news conference that sandbag central will open at 8 a.m. April 3 in the city's garbage collection building at the 2400 block of Eighth Avenue North. The goal of the
city-county effort is to make 1 million new sandbags, 500,000 apiece.
In an updated flood outlook given Thursday, the National Weather Service predicted a 50 percent chance the Red River will hit 38.1 feet in Fargo-Moorhead, which would be the fifth-worst on record here, topping floods in 1969, 2006 and 2010. There is a 10 percent chance of topping 40.9 feet. The record crest of 40.84-foot was set in 2009.
City leaders hope to increase their sandbag supply to 1.25 million, providing enough bags to protect against a 42.5-foot flood. It still has 750,000 sandbags left from the 2011 flood.
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple said Monday he will essentially have an "open checkbook" to fight spring flooding.
Wisconsin man faces sex, drug charges
JAMESTOWN, N.D.-- A Wisconsin man faces multiple felony charges following a string of events earlier this month, according to Southeast District Court documents.
Adrian Williams, 51, Milwaukee, was charged on March 14 with gross sexual imposition, a Class AA felony.
On or about March 4, Williams is accused of engaging in a sexual act with another and by compelling the victim to submit by force or by threat of imminent death, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping, to be inflicted, according to the criminal complaint.
On March 20 Williams was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, two Class A felonies.
He is accused of possessing oxycodone and cocaine with the intent to deliver.
A member of the Stutsman County Drug Task Force, which assisted the Jamestown Police Department in the investigation, said close to 200 pills of oxycodone were found. The same officer said he was not sure of the amount of cocaine, but because of the way it was packaged the cocaine was a quantity not for personal usage.
Woman reports sex assault on NDSU campus
FARGO - A woman told North Dakota State University police she was forced into a vehicle Sunday night and sexually assaulted.
NDSU police Lt. Greg Stone said the victim said she was approached by a man in a blue ski mask in a parking lot about 8:30 p.m. The woman reported the man forced her into a large passenger vehicle, drove to another location, sexually assaulted her and drove her back to the parking lot.
No suspect vehicle was given, nor did she report her attacker used a weapon.
In a news conference on Monday, Stone and Dean of Student Life Janna Stoskopf would not say why the university believed that the campus community was not under an immediate or continued threat.
Stone said if they receive more information about the car or the suspect, they will release it to the public.
Train crashes with car near NDSU
FARGO - A woman was uninjured Monday afternoon when her car was struck by a slow-moving train west of the North Dakota State University campus.
The crash happened shortly after 4 p.m. at the train crossing just north of the intersection at 12th Avenue North and 18th Street North, said acting Fire Department Battalion Chief Mark Waller. The crossing is marked, but doesn't have crossing arms.
"A train was trying to make this crossing into NDSU going at a slow rate of speed, and this distracted lady driver just didn't see the train for whatever reason and got hit by the slow-moving train," he said.
Waller said a Burlington Northern employee at the scene told him the train was moving about 3 mph.
Waller said even with the slow speed and small number of cars attached to the engine, the train had plenty of momentum.
Airmen from 119th deploy to Afghanistan
FARGO - Nearly 30 members of the North Dakota Air National Guard's 119th Security Forces Squadron are deploying to Afghanistan for six months.
The deployment, made quietly earlier this month, comes after a nearly three-month hiatus from overseas deployments.
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple praised the airmen and thanked them for their sacrifices during two send-off ceremonies in Fargo between training in Florida, Nevada and Texas.
"Your professional skills and Happy Hooligan pride and dedication will surely make this another successful mission," said Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk, the North Dakota adjutant general.
The airmen will take on base security and escort duties in Afghanistan, the Guard said.
Since the 2001 terrorist attacks on America, the North Dakota National
Guard has mobilized more than 3,900 soldiers and about 2,400 airmen in
support of the global war on terrorism.
About 70 North Dakota Guardsmen are overseas.
Two die in I-94 rollover west of Valley City
FARGO - Two people from Wisconsin died after a rollover crash Wednesday 10 miles west of Valley City, state troopers said in a news release Monday.
Tiffany Przybycien, 23, of Amery, and Kyle Truckey, 22, of Thorp, both died at Sanford Health in Fargo after the 12:05 p.m. crash on an icy Interstate 94, Capt. Bryan Niewind said in a news release.
Przybycien was driving a 2011 Dodge Ram pickup east on I-94 when she lost control on an icy patch of the road, spun into the median and rolled into the westbound lanes.
Neither Przybycien or Truckey were wearing seat belts and both were thrown from the pickup.
Truckey died Friday, and Przybycien died Saturday, Niewind said in the release.

EDITORIAL >> Astroturfing health care
Since the House of Representatives and Senate moved finally toward action on medical insurance bills, commercials sandwiched around cable TV shows have warned us of doom for our way of life if Congress passes a health-reform bill, and they identify the evildoers who are responsible: the lawmakers who vote for the bills or allow a debate on them.
If you catch the tagline on political ads you are now familiar with the 60 Plus Association, which purports to be an organization of senior citizens interested in protecting the well-being of the elderly. The current 60 Plus ads feature two old-timers from Conway, Don Thomas and Jim Elliott, who say that Rep. Vic Snyder betrayed the seniors of Arkansas by voting for the health bill in the House and tell the elderly that they should never forget what Snyder did to them. He voted to raise taxes on small businesses, reduce peoples Medicare coverage and have the government determine who your doctor will be when it takes over health care. None of that happens to be true, but these gentlemen sure look and sound sincere and worried.
The 60 Plus Association has nothing to do with old folks. It is a creature of the big drug manufacturers (Merck, Pfizer, Wyeth-Ayerst, Hanwha International Corp.), who bankroll these commercials. The National Association of Manufacturers is a contributor. For a decade, it has been fighting for the pharmaceutical industry with commercials, lawsuits and lobbying. It supported a suit against the state of Maine for passing a law that tried to get drug discounts for the people of the state. It worked against federal assistance for the area hit by Hurricane Katrina. Its earliest fight was to eliminate the estate tax, the Teddy Roosevelt-era tax on the estates of multimillionaires.
The lovable actors in the central Arkansas commercials are a retired insurance broker (Thomas), who is one of the largest benefactors of the Republican Party in Arkansas and a longtime opponent of Snyder, and a retired State Police captain (Elliott), who spent his career in a Cadillac-quality government health insurance program. Two things in the health bills actually might affect the two seniors, if Medicare is now their principal payer. They would save lots of money on prescription drugs because the bills would close the so-called doughnut hole in prescription coverage. If they bought one of the Medicare Advantage plans, which entail a huge subsidy by the taxpayers to the insurance companies that offer the policies, their carrier might decide to dump the policyholders if the government reduces their subsidy, as both the House and Senate bills would do, and they would have to go back on regular Medicare with everyone else.
What bothers us most about these and many other ads on both sides of the question is not the vigorous advocacy for the cause or even the misleading descriptions of the issues, but their malevolence. They suggest that the men and women who vote for or against legislation deserve something more from you than your vote for or against them in the next election. They deserve your lifelong hatred and, if the occasion arises, incivility.
Internet traffic in our region was hastened the past three weeks by an email message from the wife of a prominent Little Rock physician gloating about how she and nine other women, partying at a little restaurant on Little Rocks Cantrell Road, humiliated Representative Snyder and his wife, who had gone out for a quiet dinner two nights after the health-care vote in the House. She described the encounter to friends after she got home that night, and her account circulated through the Republican network and the exclusive subdivisions of Little Rocks west side that, as a former senator once said, Medicare helped build. The messages did not take note of the fact that the author of the email and her husband have been contributing to Snyders opponents since the late 1990s and that they were holding a fund-raiser at their riverview mansion for Tim Griffin, the former Karl Rove aide who is running against Snyder this year after gaining some notoriety for his role in expelling federal prosecutors, including our own, for not being sufficiently political in their prosecutions.
Tonight was something straight out of the movies, began the gentle ladys letter to friends who were not lucky enough to have been in the Graffitis dining room. The girls had been partying for an hour or so when Snyder and his wife, a United Methodist minister, came in for dinner. After the couple was seated, the women went over in waves to tell them they resented the congressmans voting for the health bill. She said they soon had Snyders wife in tears. Snyder tried to be cordial, thanking them for their views, but the doctors wife said she told him, I was married to Glenn Davis, a physician and that we were going to do all we could to see that he was not re-elected.
When Snyder went to pay his bill, his wife dropped by the table where the women were still partying and said it would be better if they called the congressmans office to tell him their views. The doctors wife said she gave the preacher a piece of her mind. I looked her in the eye and said Vic works for me and I can say whatever, whenever I want and he should be ashamed to vote yes for this bill. I said we would like to have the same health care plan they and their four kids have, one boy and a set of triplets (under a year old), at their age, who is paying for that? As the couple was leaving she and her friends chimed hope you enjoyed the dinner we just paid for.
It was so great, she said and admonished all her friends: Keep after these people.
We should pray that others have a finer observance of the grace that has always bound us in times of political disagreement.
Given the tenor of the year, maybe we should merely hope that people do no worse.

It has long been speculated that underlying variations in tissue anatomy affect in vivo spectroscopic measurements. We investigate the effects of cervical anatomy on reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy to guide the development of a diagnostic algorithm for identifying high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) free of the confounding effects of anatomy. We use spectroscopy in both contact probe and imaging modes to study patients undergoing either colposcopy or treatment for HSIL. Physical models of light propagation in tissue are used to extract parameters related to tissue morphology and biochemistry. Our results show that the transformation zone, the area in which the vast majority of HSILs are found, is spectroscopically distinct from the adjacent squamous mucosa, and that these anatomical differences can directly influence spectroscopic diagnostic parameters. Specifically, we demonstrate that performance of diagnostic algorithms for identifying HSILs is artificially enhanced when clinically normal squamous sites are included in the statistical analysis of the spectroscopic data. We conclude that underlying differences in tissue anatomy can have a confounding effect on diagnostic spectroscopic parameters and that the common practice of including clinically normal squamous sites in cervical spectroscopy results in artificially improved performance in distinguishing HSILs from clinically suspicious non-HSILs.

Greenidge queries `discriminatory' treatment of Guyanese at Piarco
The treatment of Guyanese passengers at Piarco by Caribbean Airlines (CAL) is one of a series of questions that APNU MP Carl Greenidge wants the government to answer in relation to the flagship agreement which was clinched with the regional carrier in January, 2013.
On February 10th , 2014, Greenidge tendered questions to parliament including one asking about the "direct financial recompense and non-financial benefits, if any" that the Government of Guyana received for the grant of route rights or national carrier status to CAL. He also asked how this compared with what prevailed prior to January 1, 2013. The questions are down for answer on March 6th, 2014.
Greenidge related in his question that Guyanese who had arrived in Trinidad on a January 15th, 2014 CAL flight on their way to Guyana were treated poorly.
"After all the other passengers had disembarked, Georgetown bound passengers were told to leave the plane and to wait at the top of the stairs in the terminal. Once in the terminal they were immediately shepherded into the waiting area room, movement in which was very restricted for over an hour", Greenidge related.
There have been numerous complaints over the years at the manner in which Guyanese transiting Piarco are treated.
In light of the flagship agreement from 2013, Greenidge asked whether the negotiations "involved any requirement by the Government of Guyana and a matching commitment from the CAL management to eliminate discriminatory treatment imposed on Guyana bound and departing passengers on this route".
If there were such negotiations, Greenidge wants to know what quality and range of services, including for transfer and checking-in of transit passengers at Piarco, the government here has required CAL to fulfil and over what period.
Greenidge also wants to know whether the government has in place any mechanism for monitoring the quality of service extended to passengers since January, 2013 and if so what were the findings for the last review period.
The in-transit woes of Guyanese in Trinidad and the cost of CAL's flights between Timehri and Piarco have led to threats by officials here that the flagship agreement with the carrier could be terminated.

In a move that has shocked fashion onlookers, scantily-clad young girls wearing make-up and sporting voluminous up-dos are promoting a new range of lingerie that is targetted at girls as young as four years old.
Combining lingerie and lounge wear to form 'loungerie,' the Jours Après Lunes line for four to 12-year-olds features a range of panties, bras, camisoles and T-shirts with lace edges, ribboned bow detailing and nautical stripes.
The shots feature young girls in poses and styling that seem far too premature for their ages.
Wearing striped bras and panties, they play with make-up and jewellery, strings of pearls wrapped around their small frames.
Most of the photos are too risque to feature on MailOnline, the bare legs and stomachs of the girls deeming them inappropriate for publication.
What do you think?
