After spending more than three months addressing the needs of the state, the General Assembly wrapped up its work on Friday with the enactment of a $4.5 billion road plan and a new initiative to limit the sky-rocketing prescription drug abuse that Kentucky has unfortunately seen over the last decade.
Storms have created a diversion for thieves in Cynthiana over the last few days.
Cynthiana Police Chief Ray Johnson said three vehicles were stolen in the last week and numerous cars have been pilfered.
Some of the items missing from vehicles include CDs, GPS devices, a ladies' wallet that contained all of her credit cards, cash and identification.
"I really want to encourage people to take their keys out of the vehicles and lock the doors," said Johnson.
Just weeks after being charged with wanton endangerment for allegedly intentionally setting his couch on fire after his wife left him, Michael King is back in jail.
"What started as a domestic ended in a free for all," said Chief Ray Johnson of the Cynthiana Police Department.
Two people were stabbed Tuesday night and King is being charged.
According to police reports filed by Ptl. Nathan Linville, King, 47, went to Ronnie's Bar on Walnut Street about 6 p.m. Tuesday where his wife, Tracy, was bartending.
A couple of weeks ago, in mid-April, one of the prettiest flowers in the garden started to bloom. This great cut-leaf Japanese peony, Paeonia tenuifolia, opened its simple ruby-colored petals to reveal bright yellow stamen.
The finely cut foliage, reminiscent of the most finely cut foliage of a Japanese maple, allows the plant to be interesting in the mixed border the rest of the growing season, too.
The Salato Wildlife Education Center in Frankfort held the grand opening of its interactive Bluegrass Prairie Exhibit on May 2.
Visitors enjoyed a hands-on learning experience about the efforts of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to restore and manage prairie habitats and the animals that call them home.
Families and kids can learn how prairie habitats help wildlife survive by imaging they are a quail chick as they make their way through the exhibit.
On March 11-13, 31 students from Harrison County Middle School traveled to Louisville, Ky. to participate in a three day mock United Nations conference. Kentucky's conference is hosted by the YMCA each year. This program is designed to help students develop valuable leadership skills, diplomacy, and to better understand the world around them. The program can have a powerful impact on students, allowing them to empathize with people around the world and in our own country.

Utilizing the Finest Materials to Achieve Naturally Beautiful Smiles
Porcelain veneers are the ultimate in enduring beauty. When administered by our experienced cosmetic dentists in Eureka, they are unmatched in natural artistry and conservative treatment. Veneers are usually less than one millimeter, like a contact lens, in thickness and are bonded directly to the teeth. They are made from porcelain in the shade that you choose and can instantly correct tooth discoloration, chips, old fillings, misaligned teeth, and other smile deficiencies. They can last indefinitely and with proper brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, they are proving to be one of the longest lasting methods of restorative dentistry. Since they only go on the outside of the teeth, sensitivity is seldom in issue.
Porcelain Veneers Procedure
On your consultation visit, we will show your our large gallery of smile makeovers so you can choose what fits your desires. We will then formulate a plan and decide what treatment fits your needs the best. The tooth color, position of the gums, and your bite will be discussed and together we will decide on treatment that will give the most stable long-term results. We used several different porcelain systems depending upon the particular needs of the patient.
We use some of the finest ceramists in the world for our cosmetic porcelain veneers. Although the fee may be slightly higher, they provide a level of beauty that is unsurpassed in the cosmetic dentistry world. Our gallery features a variety of patients with several different porcelain systems. We match patient needs with their cosmetic wants to create a natural beauty and excellence that we expect to last for decades. Because these veneers are extremely thin (less than a half a millimeter) they blend in naturally with the teeth with almost no tooth preparation.
Lumineers are very popular in today's cosmetic world. They are particular brand of porcelain, Cerinate, made by a single lab, DenMat. No preparation veneers have been done by our cosmetic dentists for almost 20 years; and in the correct cases, conservation of tooth structure is always a priority in our practice. When asking for Lumineers, most patients are really asking us to perform minimal to no tooth reduction, which is what we do on every case regardless of the type of lab or porcelain we choose. We only reduce tooth structure when needed and only enough to guarantee an excellent result, regardless of which porcelain or lab we use.
CEREC® one-day restorations give many of our patients the convenience of completing dental restoration procedures during a single office visit. Using digital impression technology and an in-office milling station, your porcelain veneers, crowns, or bridges can be custom-designed and attached with exceptional precision for natural-looking results. By cutting out the need for a third-party lab, there is typically no need to wait weeks for permanent restorations to be created, allowing patients to dramatically transform the appearance of their smiles in just one day.
Learn more about CEREC® one-day restorations.
Composite Veneers
Composite is a resin with glass particles in it. As you will see in our Cosmetic Composite Veneer section in our gallery, these can be as natural and esthetic as porcelain veneers. The teeth require just slight surface roughening and then the material is sculpted right on the tooth surface with various layers. Usually the veneers are finished in a single appointment with a shorter follow up visit for refinements. The result is very natural beauty and is more cost effective than porcelain. In the right case composite veneers can be a great cosmetic option but they are more prone to staining and chipping than porcelain and repairs are the patient's responsibility after the first year.
If you would like to learn more about porcelain veneers, or if you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us today.

Finding a Job You Like
Chronicles of a Job Hunter: Fashion Buyer? Like a Professional Shopper?
SavvySugar Community member littlemissjobhunter is part of the sobering statistic: nearly one out of 10 Americans are out of work. Join her in the trials and tribulations of a job-seeker — a journey that'll maybe help you understand that the unemployment figures aren't just a number. In her latest post, she reveals how she gave up on a career in fashion for a "real" job, only to risk it all to go back to square one to chase her dream job again.
As a girl who was born and raised on the east coast, attended college in the Midwest, with origins in Asia, and currently residing on the west coast, my own sense of style draws influence from the many facets of my own upbringing and experience. I use my own wardrobe as a means to express myself, which can be primarily attributed to my background. As a young girl, high-end fashion advertisements stuck with me and designer names were easier to memorize than any SAT flash card. While most teenagers watched the current melodramatic offering on the WB, I enjoyed watching NY Metro Channel's Fashion segment with coverage of the latest runway shows to general trend forecasts for the upcoming season. I told myself one day I will be sitting in attendance at one of these shows as a buyer, clipboard and pencil in hand.
To find out what happened, read on.
After receiving the results of what I believe to be a flawed high school career test, as I had no interest in becoming an agricultural farmer, I started looking into potential fashion careers. With no experience at all, I went on the hunt for any exciting fashion internship while in college and started blindly sending out resumes shortly prior to my graduation. Unfortunately, the financial tsunami had taken effect and retail was hit hard as a result. Shipped halfway across the world to the financial epi-center of Asia by my parents, I now found myself ironically working for an accounting firm, a career path I strived to stay far away from. And this, ladies and gentleman is the drive that ultimately brought back my focus: aspirations of being a buyer in the US.
During my one year abroad, I reflected on what in life really made me happy and in what way I could take something I enjoyed and turn it into a career possibility. I knew one comfort when work became stressful that I could always turn to — fashion blogs, lots of them. In a nutshell, I know that being a fashion buyer is my calling, and more fitting towards my personality, skill set and passion. Hopefully my own experience can offer some insight into why my dream job is as such but also inspire readers to look beyond what is deemed a "successful career" and to their dreams and passions. A job should not only be a means to pay the bills but something you ENJOY doing.

BALI UPDATE #490 - 30 January 2006
Hail to the Chief!
Stakeholders from Bali Tourism Board Hold Meeting with Bali Police Chief Inspector General Drs. Sunarko Danu Ardanto.
On Friday, January 27, 2006, representatives of the stakeholder organizations of the
Bali Tourism Board (BTB)
joined the
Chairman, Bagus Sudibya, for an extended roundtable discussion with Bali's new Chief of Police, Inspector General Drs. Sunarko Danu Ardanto.
Appointed in late December to replace outgoing Bali Police Chief Made Pastika, General Sunarko has held a series of high-ranking jobs at regional police posts across Indonesia, including a period as National Police Spokesperson in Jakarta, before assuming the top law enforcement job in Bali.
In a more than two hour meeting, Bali's Police Chief exchanged ideas and information on a number of topics with Bali's tourism leaders ranging from general security, gambling, terrorism and community relations
Some of the highlights of General Sunarko's meeting with Bali's tourism leaders, included:
The national crackdown on terrorist continues with numerous arrests over the weeks since the police shoot out and death of Malaysian terrorist Dr. Azahari on November 9, 2005. A number of those arrested for playing a role in the October 1, 2005 bombing have been transported to Bali where they are now undergoing active interrogation by police.
The increasingly vigilant moves to combat terrorism in Bali include close and intensive coordination between the police, military and the various intelligence services of the Country now cooperating under a common umbrella of the
Coordinating Body for Bali Security.
General Sunarko's former role as a public spokesman for the National Police have left him a firm believer in the importance of an open and ongoing dialogue with the community. As a result, he pledged to continue to seek input including both criticism and suggestions - from all levels of the community.
Because Bali is a world class tourism destination, the Chief acknowledged the necessity of providing a high level of police service to Bali's many visitors. He warned that hotels found to be lax in protecting the security interests and safety of their guests face the possibility of losing their security accreditation.
General Sunarko pledged that his department would not discriminate in the application of the law and all violators, both foreign and domestic, can expect to be brought to justice.
The Bali police are prepared to work closely with all elements of the tourism community in providing security on a day-to-day basis as well as for special events and conferences in Bali. The police will also continue to play an active role in assisting
in communicating the many steps for improved security now in place in Bali to overseas markets and visiting press delegations.
The Chief also touched on trans-national crime and its impact on Bali, exchanging information with the
delegation on the Internet, current specific problems in that area, and the Internet's role in promoting Bali.
As a continuance of the dialogue now commenced with the tourism community and
, General Sunarko accepted an invitation from
to soon schedule an informal lunch-time meeting with Bali's entire tourism community in order to further strengthen his connection with Bali's leading industry.
US$7 Million For Bali Tourism Recovery
After 4 Month Wait, Promised Recovery Funds for Bali Promotion About to be Released.
Patience and persistence is apparently going to be rewarded as the
Bali Tourism Board (BTB)
received confirmation on Thursday, January 26, 2005, that, after nearly 4 months of lobbying with the Central government in Jakarta, some Rp. 67 billion (approximately US$ 7.1 million) in special funding will soon be available for Bali's tourism recovery projects.
In a series of Jakarta meetings with Ministry of Culture & Tourism and the Coordinating Minister for the Economy that started just days after the October 1, 2005 terror attack, representatives of
have busily drafted detailed budget proposal and plans for various activities to hasten the recovery of the Island's tourism industry. Included in the proposed budgets are sums for the establishment of a
BTB Press Center
, advertising, overseas missions to key markets, and the hosting of press and travel industry educational trips to Bali.
During the January 26th meeting at the
office in Denpasar, Mr. Wardiyatmo, an expert staff on economic matters from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, confirmed that plans for the recovery funding have finally been approved by the Ministry of Finance with steps now underway within the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to establish the coordinating and control mechanisms required to oversee the fund's disbursement.
Depending on the nature of the various promotional activities included in the plan, funds will be made available either directly via the Ministry in Jakarta or through the
Bali Tourism Authority
- the government office charged with tourism matters in Bali.
This is Only a Test!
Full-Scale Emergency Preparedness Drill Staged at Bali's Airport.
Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport conducted another emergency drill on Friday, January 27, 2006; one in a series of regular drills conducted to test the ability of the Airport and related public safety units to respond in emergency situations.
Friday's drill was staged at the international departure terminal of the airport and involved the airport's security brigade, airport police and Bali's highly-trained emergency response police team.
The exercise began with the "identification" of a suspected explosive device in the airport prompting an immediate evacuation and "seal-down" of surrounding areas by police and airport security personnel. Within minutes fire fighting teams and ambulances arrived at staging areas, prepared to respond if the situation demanded it. Simultaneously, the Bali Police emergency response team's bomb squad arrived on the scene. While a team of officers made a larger sweep of the area for any additional suspicious objects, two experts wearing full protective clothing and carrying sophisticated equipment assessed the suspected bomb before removing it to a more remote location outside the terminal.
Every step of the drill was controlled and monitored from a hi-tech
crisis center
located in a secure location within the airport.
The entire drill was over in less than an hour with the response team getting a round of applause from tourists who witnessed the well-coordinated drill from a safe distance.
Similar drills, rehearsing a number of emergency scenarios, are now regularly undertaken by the Airport's Authority -
Angkasa Pura.
Garuda Posts US$70.7 Million Loss for 2005
The Numbers Aren't Pretty for Indonesia's National Flag Carrier - Garuda.
Garuda Indonesia's
unaudited losses for 2005 tallied in at Rp. 672 billion (approximately US$70.7 million) an improvement over the US$ 81 million loss in 2004 but hardly a cause for celebration at the debt-ridden airline which is unable to meet repayments on the more than US$1 billion it currently owes to its European creditor.
Quoted in the Indonesian-language
Bisnis Indonesia
, the Airline's President Director Emirsyah Satar balmed the losses on escalating fuel costs estimated to consume 30% of the airlines total routine expenditures, calculated at US$80 million each month.
In order to escape its current financial predicament
is busily negotiating a rescheduling of its debts with major creditors; seeking a strategic international partner in order to enhance the Company's overall competitiveness; and hoping to launch an
initial public offering (IPO)
on the Jakarta Stock Exchange in order to raise some badly needed cash.
is also working to rationalize its business including reducing to three the total types of airplanes used in its fleet.
According to figures published by
Bisnis Indonesia,
the Airline has seen its current ratio decline from 0.96 to 0.60 since 2003 reflecting the growing liquidity problems it now faces. Similarly, during the same 3 year period from 2003 2005,
debt-equity has worsened from 4.96 to the current worrisome 25.38.
With debts now totaling 25 times more than its net worth, finding suitors and investors may prove troublesome for Indonesia's National Carrier.

Garuda's Gloomy Start to 2006
Indonesia Takes Steps to Enhance Airworthiness
Ministry of Transportation Introducing Tighter Regulation of Nation's Aviation Fleet. Licenses of 3 Carriers Now Revoked.
Indonesia's Department of Civil Aviation has taken steps to increase the safety of the flying public by stipulating that jets operating in Indonesia cannot be older than 20 years dating from their date of original manufacture or have performed more than 50,000 take-off and landing cycles.
The ruling, contained in a formal decision of the Transportation Minister Hatta Rajasa, became law on January 16, 2006. The regulation applies to new aircraft registrations in Indonesia, with aircraft already in operation and registered with the Transportation Ministry exemoted and permitted to operate for a maximum 30 years or 70,000 take-off and landing cycles.
Under the new law, Indonesian air operators are now prohibited from leasing or purchasing jets older than 20 years and must cease to operate any new-purchase second-hand jets once they hit the maximum age limit.
The Indonesian-language daily
estimates that of the present 300 commercial aircraft operated by 28 companies in Indonesia approximately 75% are older than ten years with some 41 aircraft currently on the Ministry's books having an age of 35 years.
Part of a Larger Revision of Air Rules
The Government is reportedly preparing a number of additional revisions in commercial air operation rules including increasing from 2 to 5 the minimum number of aircraft that a registered air operator must own in order to be allowed to continue air operations.
Once introduced, this requirement is expected to force a number of small local carriers in Indonesia to merge with other existing carriers in order to meet fleet minimums stipulated by the government.
Licenses of Three Airlines Revoked
The Ministry of Transportation has also announced the revocation of the operating licenses of three Indonesian airlines for failure to operate for a period of two weeks, grounds for termination of license under the current rules.
Having their wings clipped and now formally deregistered by the Ministry are are:
Star Air
Bouraq Airlines
Air Paradise International
Under the rules of the Ministry, each of the above named airlines must receive three official notification letters after which, in the absence of a viable business plan presented to the Ministry, the airline's business license will be formally suspended. According to published reports in the Indonesian-language
has received its third formal notification letter while
Star Air
Air Paradise
have just received their first warning letter.

Love my Bali Dog, Love my Kintamani
Efforts Underway to Have Bali's Kintamani Dogs Recognized as an Official Breed.
Bangli Regency officials are actively joining efforts by the
Indonesian Cynologique Association (PERKIN)
to have the unique long-haired breed of dogs found in Bali's hills near Kintamani accepted as an official and separate breed of canine.
Roughly resembling a
Chinese Chow Chow,
is indigenous to the Kintamani region of Bali. Lovingly loyal when reared by an attentive owner, the
is becoming an increasingly popular breed abroad for their high intelligence and suitability as watch dogs.
Indonesian dog fanciers and Bangli officials are lobbying hard to have the
registered by the
Federation Cynologique Internationale
as a recognized breed. Recent genetic testing have identified close markers shared by the
with the
Bali Street Dog
, the
Australian Dingo
and an
American Kennel Club
breed of Asian dog.
To help promote the Kintamani's international reputation annual competitions are held in Bangli to encourage careful development of the breed. In a recent press interview the Head of the Bangli Regency, Armawa, said he hope the eventual official recognition of the Kintamani breed would pave the way for the dogs to become a major export product from his regency, eventually rivaling Kintamani's trademark coffee and oranges exported from that cool hillside area of Bali.
Keeping Their Eye on Security
The People of Sanur Install Security Surveillance Systems.
While other talk, the people of Bali's Sanur Village Community spring into action.
In response to Bali's latest terrorist attack and calls from Bali's Chief of Police to enhance "community policing," the people of Sanur Community Village have begun independently installing CCTV surveillance cameras at key locations within their neighborhood.
Largely unseen by the tourist visitors frequenting the hotels, restaurants and shops that populate Sanur Village, cameras are now keeping an around the clock eye on beachside jogging tracks and main roadways around Sanur. The cameras are all centrally linked to the office of the
Sanur Foundation
where selected members of the 33-man Sanur Local Security Force will monitor and maintain constant contact with members of their team and local police authorities.
Part of a local community initiative using a 14 kilometer long fiber optic cable operated by a local firm -
Bali Media Net,
Sanur community leaders eventually hope to add more CCTV camera, create a community Cable-TV station and even allow people to view Sanur's underwater marine life via a 24-hour underwater camera.
Wounded Bali on the Road to Recovery
Column From Singapore's New Straits Times Reflects Life in Post Bombing Bali.
Johan Jaaffar, in a column published in the January 28, 2006 on-line edition of Singapore's
New Straits Times
, effectively used the economic hardship being experienced by three separate Balinese men two artists and a souvenir shop owner, to demonstrate the difficulties of everyday life following the October 1, 2005, terrorist attack.
While sobering in its report of the devastating effects on the lives of the Balinese people, the column also reminds that fundamental issues of environmental and cultural preservation that existed prior to the latest bombing, and must still be addressed for Bali to retains its reputation as a leading cultural tourism destination.
By any standard, a good read.

POINT BLANK: Wounded Bali on the Road to Recovery
Mixing with the Hoi Polloi
Indonesia President and Vice President Visit Bali, Making a Special Point of Getting Up Close and Personal with the Island's Visitors.
Is Bali safe and a good place to visit?
Apparently, both Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Vice President Jusuf Kalla think so. During separate visits over the past week, Indonesia's #1 and #2 leaders made high profile visits to Bali demonstrating that they are genuinely "men of the people," at ease with the local security situation.
President Yudhoyono
On Wednesday, January 25, 2006, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and First Lady "Ibu Ani" made an unannounced visit to Bali's Kuta beach area. For more than an hour the President and his wife strolled along Bali's most famous stretch of beach where they purchased souvenirs while chatting with foreign tourist, local shop owners, and beach masseuses.
Shaking hundreds of hands with both local and international visitors, the Susilo's happily obliged the many requests from tourists eager to have a photo opportunity with Indonesia's CEO. Apparently very much at ease with Bali's current security situation, the Chief Executive's security team appeared relatively relaxed as the President plunged into crowds of tourists along the beach and the throngs at Kuta's traditional market.
During his visit the President stayed at the
Grand Bali Beach Hotel
in Sanur.
Vice-President Kalla
In a separate visit to Bali on Thursday, January 26, 2006, Indonesia's Vice President Jusuf Kalla returned from Japan and a four country foreign tour on board a commercial
flight. During the long flight from Tokyo to Bali the Vice President actively paced the aisles of the aircraft engaging in conversations with the pleasantly surprised Bali-bound passengers.
After a surprise inspection of the immigration services at Bali's airport, the president continued on to Jakarta, again using a commercial aircraft where he repeated his public contact foray, asking Jakarta bound passengers for feedback on their just completed visit to Bali.

So, another Monday with another "book feature" ... which the observant of you will have noticed is the new title over in the graphic <=== there. I got so frustrated in trying to line up interviews (even the mini "softball" interviews that I was running here) with authors that I figured that I should just accept it and not try to bash a square peg into a round hole. So, if you see that graphic on the post, you'll know I wasn't able to get the time of day from the author.
Now, this is particularly irritating to me as I spent a decade running a book publishing business, fifteen years in consumer product PR, and various other gigs in communications and marketing, and to not be able to get the attention of an author or their publisher to provide "some ink" (or the electronic equivalent) just boggles my mind. In the case of Fired! (the main book that I was going to be featuring this week) I tried reaching the publicity department of the publisher, I tried reaching the author, and I tried reaching the author's agent, and heard nothing. As somebody who has been "on the other side of the table", I have a very hard time understanding how this happens ... I was always "all over" any offers for coverage for our books. If PR/publishing had any "standards", this would be a case of gross negligence!
Anyway ...
Annabelle Gurwitch's Fired!: Tales of the Canned, Canceled, Downsized, and Dismissed is an amusing look at the reminiscences of fifty or so (mainly entertainment industry) folks of times in their past where they were terminated from a job. These run the gamut from one gal who lasted four hours as a coat check girl to an ad agency executive who got fired from the same account every few years. There are several famous names in the book (see my review for details) and it is interesting (if with a whiff of Schadenfreude) to see what various folks had to survive on their way to greater success. Frankly one thing this book highlighted for me was that I'd never been "fired" from a job, with nearly all of my "job transitions" coming from the company going out of business ... I wonder how much this has shaped my job search.
However, if you, or friends of yours, are coming off an "involuntary separation" experience, you might find some solace in the stories in Fired!. Not only are many of these worse than yours are likely to have been, in nearly every case the subject of the story got back up off the mat and went on to bigger and better (or at least OK) things.
I initially wasn't going to feature this next book in here, because it's pretty "technical" from a Social Media and marketing standpoint, but given the lack of an interview for the preceding book, I figured that I might as well toss it in this as well. Viral Loop: From Facebook to Twitter, How Today's Smartest Businesses Grow Themselves by Adam Penenberg is a fascinating look at the concept of "viral" growth in business settings. As I note in my review, this is, functionally, not something new with the Internet, but a pattern that can be seen in various situations historically, from the eponymous Charles Ponzi (of "Ponzi scheme" infamy) through Tupperware and assorted other "network marketing" ventures, the word-of-mouth person-to-person marketing channel has been around a long time. However, the global reach and immediacy of the Internet caused an explosion in what could happen when a company, product, or idea "went viral", and this has become even more the case in the realm of Social Media.
Viral Loop is not a book about the job search, employment, or hiring, however, so I was hesitant to pass this along here. But, if you've found any of the other "Social Media" books I've covered of interest, you might also consider picking this up. It has intriguing break-downs of what is involved to get a truly "viral" spread, and would certainly by handy (as a source for key words and concepts) for anybody looking for work in the PR, Advertising, Marketing, Communications, Internet, or Media fields!

"They go and they fight and they're victorious, and when all is said and done, they return home," Zuberi said. "And it's 'Go back to your second-class citizen status, democracy is not here for you, you are not civilized and you are not ready for it."
Conversely, the collection also includes negative posters that used hateful stereotypes to portray Africans and African-Americans as threats to white society. Zuberi's favorite piece, perhaps surprisingly, is one of the most offensive in his collection.
Made in 1942 by Italian illustrator Gino Boccasile, "The Two-Dollar Venus" features a caricature of a black U.S. soldier as a brutish character with a buffoonish grin, his arm around the statue of Venus de Milo with "$2" scrawled across the torso.
"It's beautiful in itself. It has a very ugly, derogatory tone, but it's done very well," Zuberi said. "This is saying to the Italian people: 'If the U.S. comes here, they're going to bring these people; they're going to take a priceless cultural icon and put a price on it.'"
The exhibit also includes highly stylized posters made in China during the U.S. civil rights era and in Russia during the African independence movements expressing support of oppressed blacks against American and European aggressors.
A group of archival videos demonstrate how the same kinds of messages were communicated on film, including a 1945 Ronald Reagan-narrated recruitment short using the Tuskegee Airmen to claim American racial harmony and a 1944 Frank Capra-produced short that extols black war heroes without making mention of the entrenched segregation in the U.S. and its military.
A 1939 film shows Africans under European colonial rule as wholly benevolent relationships that brought the indigenous peoples "a fuller life, free from fear."
"It's a contradictory message given the reality that existed," Zuberi said, "but it's a very powerful message."

Have things changed? or many people here are wrong offering no five stars tracks for free file of the month?
I was wondering too.
I see a lot of posts like: "this one has no ratings at all, I am posting it anyways." or "I don't care about ratings, here is mine.", etc..
Was any of those 0-star or non-rated files picked for a FFOTM actually?
I don't like the new badges at all!
They are way to big, don't scale down well, too cartoony/childish, confusing (some icons look really strange, e.g. collector level, forum superstar), broken in Safari 7/Mac OSX, look squeezed or stretched in Safari for iOS and other mobile browsers, the country flag badges are messed up, and they just don't fit the general design of the Envato Network.
Those illustrations might work (and actually look great) as big header graphics/visuals or infographics but not as icons in web design. There are too much details to scale them down properly (even when using SVGs the right way).
Please, bring back the old icons/badges with the colored paws!
For more information/feedback about the new icons (including some feedback from the designer), check out this forum threat at ThemeForest: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/new-badges/139831?page=28
There's also a short survey regarding the new icon design: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QCH56LQ
Congrats, well done!
Congrats to the shiny new paw John!
Great Idea – Thanks!

Which european language do you mean? There are almost 80 different european languages.
I would love to offer this 5-star tune one month for free: NightWalk

It's just like a customer purchasing a "Regular" license in our current Music category instead of an "Extended" license. Will it occasionally happen? Unfortunately, yes. But is it some huge problem that will wipe out AudioJungle? No, of course not. Like most situations in life, 99.9% of your customer base are going to be honest and fair and will purchase the correct license. It's that 0.1% that are dishonest and will unfortunately always exist.
Well, yes, thats a good point.

All in all, I think the service has the potential to meet Beatports example. The price can vary, but high quality will always remain.
Yes, I think so too, Derek.
Scott, I think a fixed price of $2 is fine! And the possibility of authors setting their own price might end up – just like you mentioned in your post above – in authors trying to undercut other authors.
Just one more thing Scott, you said "we will NOT be allowing existing AudioJungle royalty-free music to be submitted to TRAX " – does this include different versions of a song? And by "different" I mean significant different – like not just a little longer. (although this might be up to the review team whether or not a track is different enough to be submitted)
Thanks Scott,
Cheers, Dan

Royalty, eh? I've heard that folks around them have been stoking up bad feelings by speaking of 'common' people. I guess I feel bemused both by the sort that use this word and the sort who are offended because such words as 'commoner' will never really apply to me. Not because I'm posh, but because I'm such a weirdo and I think that the hatred of the Royals is Caliban seeing his own face in the mirror or something. I can just imagine if for some reason William and Kate decided to pay me a visit just how flippin annoying I'd probably find them. Bet if I asked them what their favourite Byzantine Cathedral was they'd probably be puzzled. Maybe if I asked them what their favourite sedimentary rock is they'd be puzzled. Bet if I asked them whether they think The Rats in the Walls is better than The Call of Cthulhu… well, you get the point. I bet even if I asked them about one of my favourite historical episodes, the White Terror in Jacobin France the ignorant blighters would look blank. There's me thinking it would be pretty cool prowling like a werewolf and taking out the Masonic republican Jacobins before they can create their cult of the supreme beings, and the Royal so-and-sos would have no idea what I'm on about.
But perhaps because Willo seems like a good natured sort and I feel no animosity to the guy. I am a fairly lukewarm monarchist, though I think they should be taxed far more heavily.
Still, for evidence that you don't need to be a royal to have a stupid sense of your own self-importance, can I present Martin Amis.
Mart is writing an obitu- eh, tribute, or something, about his friend Hitchens, which is solid gold. He tries to portray Hitch as an existentialist warrior poet, an edgy outsider, a spare tyre Stavrogin, a BO Byron, but really makes him look like that boorish Cockney businessman that Harry Enfield used to act. But try telling that to Amis, whose definition of a rebel will spare you having to read Camus:
'This is the way to spot a rebel: they give no deference or even civility to their SUPPOSED superiors (that goes without saying); they also give no deference or even civility to their DEMONSTRABLE INFERIORS. Thus Christopher, if need be, will be merciless to the prince, the president, and the pontiff; and, if need be, he will be merciless to the cabdriver ("Oh, you're not going our way. Well turn your light off, all right? Because it's fucking sickening the way you guys ply for trade"), to the publican ("You don't give change for the phone? OK, I'm going to report you to the Camden Consumer Council"), and to the waiter ("Service is included, I see. But you're saying it's optional. Which? … What? Listen. If you're so smart, why are you dealing them off the arm in a dump like this?").'
Demonstrable inferiors? Demonstrably inferior to someone who thinks it's clever to write:
"Unkind nature, which could have made a perfectly good butt out of his face, has spoiled the whole effect by taking an asshole and studding it with ill-brushed fangs."
The only way that the people Amis mentions are in any way 'demonstrable inferiors' is that they have less money than he has. It is perhaps bitterly amusing that the self-styled 'bohemians' (i.e. spoilt public schoolboys) of yesterday are the most vulgar plutocrats of today, but it does make me feel there are worse things than royalty.

"Had a good time. Next time I think I would rather ride with my partner than having my own buggy. Would have made for more laughs. Overall a great time!"
"Would definitely do this again!"
"We really had a wonderful time. It was exhilarating, exciting and different. The boys went golfing and us girls (mother/daughter) traded in shopping and spas for Baha racing in the dessert. My daughter's employer could not believe what she was doing. I (age 53) was the envy of my male business colleagues. Frequent visitors to Vegas, they asked how I found out about the experience. I told them cloud9living.com! They thought it was very cool!"

Nah, I'm pretty sure he was just a vandal. I blocked 5 of them an hour or so ago. Similar name styles, similar changes - mostly deletions. You'd think that these guys would realize that it takes very little time to click the "block" link next to their name and then click the "Rollback" link to undo their changes. But, at least we're getting noticed. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, vandalism has to be a close second. Sans Deity 17:16, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

I would lik eto do a follow up of the use on the LAN to check who is
using p2p and how.
I think that at leats I need to have per each IP a log with port used
and traffic in/out bound trasnmitted in that port.
In this way, checking once in a while I can see the cow-boy of the LAN.
Some one knows a way of implementing it?

Programa Inc Launches a New Portal for Volvo Owners with Antilock Brake Problems
Volvo Vehicles with One Million Miles on the Road
Boca Raton, FL, April 25, 2014 --(
)-- ProgRama Inc., a veteran European Automotive Electronics remanufacturer launched a new internet portal to cater to Volvo owners with Antilock Brake (ABS) problems. When facing with an ABS malfunction, many Volvo owners turn to the internet for help and they can find a wealth of information and a solution on the new portal: absvolvo.com.
Volvo sales have been strong for many years and Volvo owners tend to keep their vehicles for the long run. This trend is being fueled by news that often report when "Another Volvo Reaches One Million Miles." Stories like this reflect the dedication of the Volvo owners to their vehicles and the common thread is that they follow proper maintenance during their car's lifetime.
One of the common problems that can stop a Volvo performing at its peak is the ABS malfunction. According to ProgRama Inc., a malfunctioning Volvo ABS does not have to be expensive to fix. Their portal provides the owners with reasonably priced repair solutions and service that has a personal touch.
ProgRama Inc. hopes that their long time experience in repairing Volvo ABS units and the new portal will keep many more Volvos on the road to reach their own one millionth mile on the road.

Kenny v Kenny: son takes dad to task over ABC attack
The Chaser attacked The Australian's Chris Kenny, Kenny attacked the ABC, and now Kenny's son Liam has attacked his own dad. This is getting incestuous.
Sep 18, 2013
The Chaser attacked The Australian's Chris Kenny, Kenny attacked the ABC, and now Kenny's son Liam has attacked his own dad. This is getting incestuous.
How's this for a character assessment of The Australian columnist and Sky News presenter Chris Kenny:
"Kenny is a staunchly neo-conservative, anti-progress, anti-worker defender of the status quo. He is an unrelenting apologist for the Liberal Party. He was one of Alexander Downer's senior advisers at the time of the Iraq War. He's been known to argue for stubborn, sightless inaction on climate change. He spits at anyone concerned with such trivialities as gender equality, environmental issues or labour rights from his Twitter account on a daily basis. Recently, he characterised criticism of the lack of women in Tony Abbott's Cabinet as a continuation of the Left's 'gender wars'. He is a regular and fervent participant in The Australian's numerous ongoing bully campaigns against those who question its editorial practices and ideological biases. The profoundly irresponsible, dishonest, hate-filled anti-multiculturalist Andrew Bolt has recently referred to Kenny on his blog as 'a friend'.
"And it's a jokey picture of a bestial embrace that I should be afraid of discovering online?"
And that's from his son Liam, who didn't have nice things to say about dear old dad in a piece on the pop-culture website Junkee. Editor Steph Harmon assured Crikey this morning it's really Kenny blood.
"One of our writers is a friend of Liam Kenny, who asked how to get in touch with us; he sent the piece through overnight," she explained. "I checked the reference with our writer, and called Liam to double check."
Kenny attacked the ABC's Chaser troupe for a comedy skit that featured him fornicating with a dog (admittedly, so did the ABC's Media Watch).
Liam reckons dad should have sucked it up:
"Let's see the ABC give back every cent of what it cost them to use Photoshop for thirty seconds. Maybe I'll spend the spare change on a bus to go see the Great Barrier Reef before it, like the Chaser's dog, is completely fucked in the arse."
Yikes. This was Kenny Senior's response via Twitter today:
I am proud of my children, love them deeply, and encourage them to think for themselves.

How about Dinner with the extended Katter Family.
Go smacked, but so so proud
I think he described his horrible father rather well.
It ain't gender wars we will be seeing more of—it is generational wars! How wonderful!
People need to learn to stop taking themselves so seriously.
The thing that astonishes me the most about this isn't the rebellious progeny; that happens in all our families. It's the fact that, despite his very concrete and officially-held ideological allegiances, Chris Kenny's Twitter profile photo depicts him with Julia Gillard, as though he's a fan or a peer rather than a trenchant critic.
Media opinionistas have absolutely no shame or integrity at all. What on earth would these two people have to say to each other in any social situation? (Sure, you could argue Julia's compromising herself too; but I'm betting it's Kenny who requested the photo op.)
With children like that who needs ……

Cutoff shorts cling to their spot in summer wardrobes
One of this summer's notable fashion preoccupations is casual, thigh-high shorts that are sometimes neatly finished with a seam or a narrow cuff, but more often than not are simply classic cutoffs in washed denim with a perfectly frayed hem.
They are the eternal trend.
Some, such as Man Repeller fashion blogger Leandra Medine, call cutoffs chic. Others, such as commenters on Instagram, have cold-sweat flashbacks to Jessica Simpson in "The Dukes of Hazzard." This duality is part of their allure. They suggest a sweet life of beachcombing, lazy Saturdays and barefoot walks; they are also a wee bit raunchy. Cutoffs are utterly without pretension, but they are also a measure of whether one's personal swagger can overcome the invariable risks of DIY design.
Cutoffs are the fashion equivalent of fried dough. Awful, yet kinda good.
The latest iteration of the classic short sits high on the waist — settling in at belly-button level. They are just long enough to cover — only barely — that particularly erotic intersection of the derriere and the upper thigh.
Whence did these short shorts come? What force propelled them onto the capital landscape in abundance this summer? Let us go to popular culture, the runway, the mall.
Cutoffs entered the public consciousness as the uniform of the tease and the temptress in the late 1950s and '60s. Brigitte Bardot arrived on the international screen with her blond bed hair. Raquel Welch graced mankind with her brick house figure. And Annette Funicello, with her large, dark eyes and button nose, was prom-queen lovely.
The three icons possessed wholly different kinds of beauty. But they shared a penchant for teeny-tiny shorts. Their brevity and informality made these women seem real and touchable — homey, even. The image of a babe in cutoffs allowed flushed and overeager schoolboys to imagine themselves in a hay-rolling tryst with these poster girls.
The fashion industry has always been keen on 1960s style, but the fascination came to a head several years ago when "Mad Men" landed on basic cable with such an explosion. Its influence on the frock trade was broad, from collections mimicking the show's look at Banana Republic to collections inspired by it at Michael Kors. But once fashion had had its fill of references to Pierre Cardin's futuristic minimalism and Norman Norell's ladylike preciousness, to Jackie Kennedy and Joan Harris, it turned its attention to the hidden underpinnings that gave a woman her shape — that made a woman womanly.
The era influenced the fashion industry to throw its support behind the high-fashion panty. The bottoms are cut so high on the leg and fit so snugly that they resemble full-coverage briefs. These, however, are meant to be seen. Prada panties have the look of something that might have been worn by an early '60s bathing beauty. (Designer Miuccia Prada has even stitched them out of wool and paired them with waders.) The Dolce & Gabbana versions, with this season's patterns drawn from Sicily, resemble the sort of fanciful coverage a dancer might wear as a stage costume. They are very Bob Fosse jazz hands.
The briefs go from dowdy to tarty with only a few nips, tucks and well-placed embellishments. This is part of their allure. They are both naughty and demure, sexy and sweet. Yet no matter how often a fashion designer sends a pair down the runway, they get little traction as commercial propositions. Imagine that.
Underscoring their outre appeal, Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw reluctantly wore an early version of them on "Sex and the City" when she was a celebrity model in a fashion show. Carrie wore jeweled Dolce & Gabbana briefs and famously took a tumble in them, landing facedown on the runway, as "fashion roadkill," with her tiny sparkling tush turned skyward.
Today's teeny-tiny cutoffs are akin to the conservative cousin of runway panties.
Celebrities such as Rihanna are especially fond of cutoffs. Miley Cyrus, on a stylistic tear to prove she is all grown up, wears them with staggeringly high heels. They are a perfect look for Taylor Swift — vaguely sexy and rebellious but not so dangerous or provocative that they'd nick her sweet-faced image.
And in the PG version of the video for the abundantly viewed, parsed and criticized Robin Thicke song "Blurred Lines," the female dancers wear white cutoffs — as well as briefs. As they cavort with Thicke — along with producer Pharrell Williams and rapper T.I. — their red lacquered lips form a pout. The lyrics accompanying the hypnotic hit are provocative:
I hate these blurred lines.
I know you want it.
I hate them lines.
I know you want it.
But the costuming, with its sweet and sexy balance, takes the edge off the coercive lyrics. The political incorrectness in the song's message of no-means-maybe goes down as smoothly as the groove.
There is no singular source fueling the affection for cutoffs this summer. It is fired by the collision of high-fashion influences, unspoken cultural references, nostalgic urges and the allure of a garment as easy and informal as a pair of flip-flops.
One can spend hundreds of dollars on a pair from the Milan-based designer label DSquared2 or turn to the Internet for directions on how to make a pair at home from old jeans. And in the middle, the mass-market influencers such as Urban Outfitters, American Apparel and Abercrombie & Fitch serve up inexpensive options. American Apparel promises customers that its classic, 100-percent-cotton denim shorts will, for $58, "suck you in and smooth you out." Ah, isn't it pretty to think so?
The ubiquity of cutoffs suggests they are the norm, that anyone can wear them. The brutal truth, however, is that they are as universally flattering as leggings, which is to say that they are not universally flattering at all.
Popular culture may have conspired to keep cutoffs in the fashion vernacular. But longevity has not made them more democratic.

November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
A Th17 Immune Response Can Be Amplified by Human Th9 Cells.

Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a pluripotent cytokine produced primarily by T cells in response to transforming growth factor (TGF)-b. Little is known about the role of IL-9 and of the IL-1241-producing T cell subset. Herein, we investigated IL-9 production by different mature T helper (Th) cell subsets, and analyzed the effect of IL-9 on T cell differentiation.
CD4+ CD45RA+ naive and CD45RO+ memory, and CD4+CD25+ T cells were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy individuals, stimulated under different conditions, and analyzed for their cytokine profile by intracellular flow cytometry and Luminex.
TGF-b was identified as the master cytokine for the induction of human IL-1241-producing T cells. CD45RA+ naive T cells required TGF-b together with IL-4 to convert into IL-1241-producing cells. In CD45RO+ memory T cells, TGF-b alone was sufficient to induce IL-9 production. Mature T cell subsets, Th1, Th2, Th17 cells, and CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) did not produce IL-9 together with the respective signature cytokine or transcription factor. Th9 cells itself demonstrated a highly specific cytokine secretion profile characterized by the exclusive production of IL-9. When the effect of IL-9 on T cells was investigated, IL-9 did not influence Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, but significantly enhanced the differentiation of Th17 effector cells towards IL-17 single producers.
IL-1241-producing Th9 cells represent a distinct T cell subset characterized by a highly specific cytokine secretion profile different from other effector cell subsets. Their signature cytokine, IL-9, enhances Th17 differentiation. Therefore, human Th9 cells are likely to exert a pro-inflammatory function.

Mixing immediate assignment and delayed assignment
I have some code akin to this:
In[261]:= list1 = Table[Null, {j, 1, 5}];
For[i = 1, i <= 5, i++,
list1[[i]] := some_list[[i]];
Which after its execution will have list1 filled with these references:
{some_list[[6]], some_list[[6]], some_list[[6]], some_list[[6]],
But I would like the list to be filled with:
{some_list[[1]], some_list[[2]], some_list[[3]], some_list[[4]],
In other words, I would like the assignment of "i" to be immediate, but the assignment of some_list to be delayed, as the list will be updated periodically.
How do I achieve this? Thanks in advance.

String Playtests Make Job Easier
I'd like to tell you how the String Playtest has helped improve my customers' game. The column helps me to delineate to them data on the new strings and how they react from actual use. The "use" comes from the "on the court" and from me allowing them to use the racquet I strung with the sample. It has proven to them that it is either something they want or conversely, something that does not work for them.
In either case the data and actual use has helped them understand there are many materials, types of assembly, gauges, and string tensions that can impact their game.
Thanks for the assistance in bringing this to me, the stringer, and to the customer, the actual user. Once they are more knowledgeable, it makes my job of stringing their racquets much easier. Keep up the good work.

A new three-story Kaiser Permanente medical facility will open next week in Carson to more easily reach the provider's roughly 200,000 members in the South Bay, Harbor Area and Long Beach.
Construction on the 180,000-square-foot, energy-efficient building in the former offices of Nissan North America began last summer, and the doors will open to patients on June 19.
The facility at 18600 S. Figueroa St. will have 40 physicians on duty and some updated amenities, including a state-of-the-art dermatology department and an occupational health wing for members and nonmembers with work-related injuries. Those services -- and eventually allergy services -- will be moving from the Kaiser South Bay Medical Center to the Carson facility.
Carson has the highest number of Kaiser members of any other nearby cities, officials said.
"Most of our members live in this area, so it's a way of bringing services to them," said Brian-Linh Nguyen, physician in charge of the new facility. "Now it's right where they live and work."
Kaiser's Figueroa Street facility will be the largest servicing the medical provider's South Bay patients.
Kaiser already has two buildings in Carson for addiction medicine and health education, in addition to outpatient clinics in Gardena, Harbor City, Torrance and Long Beach that offer primary care, pediatrics, a pharmacy, a lab and other services.
The former Nissan offices have been remodeled to include a large reception area, pharmacy, optometry department, lab, X-ray rooms and more on the first floor. Innovations include a large touch-screen monitor that helps direct patients around the building and provides detailed information about doctors and other Kaiser facilities. Soon, an allergy center will open on the first floor as well.
The second floor of the building houses 15 adult primary care offices, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, dermatology and Mohs surgery, a surgical method of treating skin cancer without removing excess tissue. The building's third floor will remain empty until the patient load increases and more services are needed, officials said.
The Carson facility will not offer hospital beds or emergency room services.
"Our plan is for this building to continue to grow and grow in the next few years," Nguyen said. "The medicine will still be Permanente medicine, but this new facility will be more inviting for patients. I want patients to take pride and ownership of their Carson medical building."
Local images are splashed throughout the building in artwork featuring some of the Carson area's early settlers and stylized photos of the Goodyear blimp, which is housed nearby.
The building also boasts a cafe and a health store that sells a large selection of medical-related items. Nguyen said the store will help spread Kaiser's message of health wellness.
"We want to be integrated in patient's lives," he said. "Being here physically is the first step. Wellness is beyond coming to the doctor when you're sick. It is how do you sleep? Manage stress? Live well? All those things affect your health, and patients are either going to get it from us or Google it."

Glenavon 4 Ballymena United 1
There are definite signs that Gary Hamilton's New Year prediction is on track.
Even in darker times, the rookie Glenavon boss insisted better times lay ahead. And if proof was needed this thumping win has taken the Lurgan Blues' points haul to 13 from their last six matches — only title pacesetters Cliftonville have better form.
And part of the beauty of it all is that Hamilton suffering from flu symptoms was only needed for a nine-minute cameo, preferring to show faith in his youngsters, teenager Andy Mitchell, who started, and Robbie McDaid and Jude Ballard who finished.
But the man of the match was, undoubtedly, bustling Guy Bates who thrilled the home fans with two goals, one assist and a superb all-round display.
Bates broke the deadlock with a deflected free-kick and applied the icing on the cake with a second five minutes from the end.
Jamie Davidson had levelled the scores at 1-1 but thereafter there was only going to be one winner.
Skipper Kris Lindsay powered home a header to give Glenavon an interval lead and six minutes after the break Ciaran Martyn climaxed a move involving that man Bates.
Hamilton left it to coach Nigel Law to sum up the performance.
He said: " From minute one to 90 we dominated and were never in danger. It was disappointing to concede from an individual error but we bounced back."
United boss Glenn Ferguson admitted: "We didn't work hard enough, we didn't battle, we didn't win the second ball and we certainly didn't create enough."
