E.J. Dionne Nails It
Everything that E.J. Dionne wrote in this morning's Washington Post is smart and spot-on. But this sentence especially jumped out at me: "Over the past several weeks, talk about the deficit and spending has receded, replaced by a new dialogue on job creation, fairer taxes and the abuses by financiers that got the country into economic difficulty in the first place."

Sorry but I need know , How integrate OCS INVENTORY WITH SPICEWORK. if exists somebody I can help me please
thanks so much

You probably won't find any integration between the two. While they are both asset inventory tools, they go about it totally different. It would be a major undertaking to even attempt to integrate them since the data formats are so different. I'm not saying that it can't be done, I'm not seeing the motivation to do this (sorry, outside your immediate need).
If your shop is predominately windows SW is a best tool (because of all of its facets), where OSC shines in a non-windows, or heavily mixed environment.
Dec 3, 2011 at 10:13 UTC
So... It's imposible integrate both ?, but I want try , How I do ?
Thank's George 1421
Dec 3, 2011 at 12:09 UTC
Which system do you want as the master data source, and what is your expectations of this integration?
I can tell you that Spiceworks database is based on SQLite. The SQLite platform is what as known as a shared file system database, akin to MS Access. There is no back end server running like mysql or ms sql server, it is a shared filesystem file. This is important since SQLite only allows one writer at a time in the database. It supports many readers, but only one writer. In spiceworks application case, the one write is spiceworks. You can setup an ODBC connection to read from SQLite not problem and it will run concurrently with Spiceworks.
OCS uses mysql as the data backend. Mysql is a traditional client server database. You can also setup a ODBC connection with MYSQL. So now you have a conduit between both databases. Now all you need to develop is the glue logic to tie the two database's together. Probably the key field between the two systems is either the IP address or the machine's host name.
Or, you may be able to create a Spiceworks plugin to access the SW data locally and export the information via ODBC to the MYSQL database. If you REALLY want to do this, it should be possible.
Or, go low tech and export the information from SW into a CSV formatted file, and then load it into OCS with an import function.
Here is some information that may help you on your quest:
Connect Sqlite to Excel and make a dash board
Creating reports from the Spiceworks database using Crystal Reports
In the other direction you could try:

Mariah Carey is hot
Here's Mariah Carey on a tv show in Germany, doing her part to dispel the notion that all Americans are fat and arrogant and loud. I think she's doing this by using the cellulite in her legs to hypnotize the audience.
Here's Mariah Carey on a tv show in Germany, doing her part to dispel the notion that all Americans are fat and arrogant and loud. I think she's doing this by using the cellulite in her legs to hypnotize the audience.
"You behind the camera, put it down and feed ne that baby." I remember when she performed at a football game wearing a cheerleader outfit. She looked so ridiculous. Doesn't she look in the morror and see what a hiddeous beat she's become? The only difference is her attitude matches her look.
eh, I'd still go there… heard something like 90% of women over 25 have some form of cellulite… it happens…
The back of her legs look like ziploc bags full of cream cheese that were stepped on by 20 men wearing golf shoes. Or something like that.
Wow, she is really starting to resemble Vicki Lawrence circa 'Mama's Family'!!!
She needs new handlers..err..slaves..I mean servants..uh..oh hell, the chick needs people who won't sit there and tell her she's still tight and thin as she was many moons ago. Then I again I really can't blame them for not wanting to be dunked in to cooking oil for that day's lunch.
i just threw up a little in my mouth.
I like how she tried to get the whole world to start calling her "Mimi", and it never took.
She looks more and more like Mary Carey everytime I see her.
someone should tell kermit his girlfriend's on the loose…
Wow, her legs looks like a rotten sausage… blargh
Yeah, a lot of people do have cellulite, even a lot of hot celebrities. The trick is, if you have it, do your best to cover it up! You would think if she got fat she would start covering up some shit. I mean really. That is kinda gross. If you're not going to wear clothes, you should at least give people something GOOD to look at. Being a more "zaftig" woman myself, I have a right to say so. God knows I don't go flashing my cellulite. I don't even want to look my own cellulite, much less the cellulite of the Mother of all Hoochies!!
I'm sure Whitney Houston could help Mariah lose some weight….
Hey Brit and Mariah could hook up and eat some chips together while K-Fed sings to them!
Whore-iah's been fat for a while now, and it was never more evident than on the red carpet @ the Golden Globes. Her face looks like it's about to explode… it's all tight and shiny (botox?)
For the love of God DEVO could you stop with the long annoying stab-myself-in-the eye posts!!!!
She's starting to look like Cojo (from Entertainment Tonight) in the face area. I don't think she has much makeup on in the pic, but if she does then wow she looks more then bad.
She is morphing into obesity and can't dress to save her soul.
Note to Mariah:
Drink lots of water (bloated is not considered attractive), part with some of your cash and hire a stylist (you can't afford NOT to) and put down the twinkies and the Cheetos and go to the gym. Fat spray painted tan is still FAT.
if she would have her assistants take out the real size tags and put in a size 2 tags, then maybe she would have an idea how fat she's getting.
untill then, she'll keep getting huge.
maybe she's embracing her black heritage and gaining a booty.
^^^ er, that was suppose to say " if she would STOP having her assistants…. "
Crazy me, I always thought people liked Mariah Carey because she has a five octave vocal range and the only animal that can hit a higher note is a dolphin… not because she has a perfect body.
Whatever, i think she's insane, dresses skankily, and has an ego problem, but at least give her credit for talent. She writes all her songs and is pushing 40, give her a break. If she'd focus on her skill and not trying to look 20 years younger her career would do better.

|Florida's death chamber
The Supreme Court struck down Florida's unique capital sentencing system on Tuesday in a ruling that found the state gives too much power to judges — and not enough to juries — to impose the death penalty.
In an 8-1 opinion, written for the majority by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court concluded that the state's sentencing procedure is unconstitutional because juries play only an advisory role in recommending life or death. Though judges must give "great weight" to jurors' recommendations, they can reach a different decision.
"The Sixth Amendment requires a jury, not a judge, to find each fact necessary to impose a sentence of death," wrote Sotomayor. "A jury's mere recommendation is not enough."
The opinion was joined by six of the other justices, with the exception of Justice Stephen Breyer, who wrote a separate concurring opinion, and Justice Samuel Alito, who was the lone voice of dissent.
The decision could lead to wave of appeals from many of the 390 inmates on the Florida's death row, a number second only to California. It arrives days after the state executed convicted serial killer Oscar Ray Bolin Jr., who was repeatedly sentenced to death by judges acting on non-unanimous jury recommendations. Since then, Gov. Rick Scott has signed death warrants for two more men, Cary M. Lambrix and Mark J. Asay.
In Tuesday's opinion, the court sided with Timothy Lee Hurst, who was convicted of the 1998 murder of Cynthia Harrison, his manager at a Popeye's restaurant in Pensacola. In 2012, a jury voted 7-5 in favor of death and a judge imposed the sentence, basing it in part on her own independent reasoning.
In arguments before the Supreme Court, Florida's solicitor general said that the state's system was acceptable because a jury first decides if the defendant is eligible for the death penalty.
But in the court's opinion, Sotomayor said a jury's "mere recommendation is not enough." She said the court was overruling previous decisions upholding the state's sentencing process.
"The Sixth Amendment requires a jury, not a judge, to find each fact necessary to impose a sentence of death," Sotomayor said.
The justices sent the case back to the Florida Supreme Court to determine whether the error in sentencing Hurst was harmless, or whether he should get a new sentencing hearing.
In his dissent, Alito said that the trial judge in Florida simply performs a reviewing function that duplicates what the jury has done.
Under Florida law, the state requires juries in capital sentencing hearings to weigh factors for and against imposing a death sentence. But the judge is not bound by those findings and can reach a different conclusion. The judge can also weigh other factors independently. So a jury could base its decision on one particular aggravating factor, but a judge could then rely on a different factor the jury never considered.
In Hurst's case, prosecutors asked the jury to consider two aggravating factors: the murder was committed during a robbery and it was "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel." But Florida law did not require the jury to say how it voted on each factor. Hurst's attorney argued that it was possible only four jurors agreed with one, while three agreed with the other.
Sotomayor said Florida's system is flawed because it allows a sentencing judge to find aggravating factors "independent of a jury's fact finding."
The Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that a defendant has the right to have a jury decide whether the circumstances of a crime warrant a sentence of death.
Florida is one of only three states that do not require a unanimous jury verdict when sentencing someone to death. The others are Alabama and Delaware.
News of the high court's decision stunned Florida legislators. Florida House Speaker Steve Crisafulli who learned of the ruling while he was giving a speech to open the state's annual legislative session, said the Supreme Court had "impeccable timing."
Crisafulli, a Merritt Island Republican, said House legal experts would begin to review the ruling. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, an attorney who has dealt with capital punishment during his legislative career, predicted that Florida legislators would act swiftly to get the death penalty "right back on track."

Supreme Court Strikes Down Part of Florida Death Penalty
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down an aspect of Florida's capital punishment system, saying it did not give jurors a sufficient role in deciding whether defendants should be put to death.
Florida has about 400 inmates on death row, the second most in the nation. It was not immediately clear how many of the prisoners will be entitled to new sentencing hearings. A 2004 Supreme Court decision indicated that, at least in federal court, rulings like the one issued Tuesday would not apply retroactively to inmates whose convictions are final.
The decision, Hurst v. Florida, No. 14-7505, concerned Timothy Lee Hurst, who was convicted of the 1998 murder of Cynthia Lee Harrison, a co-worker at a Popeyes restaurant in Escambia County, Fla. He was tried and sentenced to death in 2000.
After the Florida Supreme Court ordered Mr. Hurst resentenced, a second jury in 2012 recommended a death sentence by a 7-to-5 vote. The judge then independently considered the evidence concerning the appropriate punishment and concluded that Mr. Hurst should be executed.
That procedure was unconstitutional, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for seven justices. "The Sixth Amendment requires a jury, not a judge, to find each fact necessary to impose a sentence of death," she wrote. "A jury's mere recommendation is not enough."
In 2002, in Ring v. Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that juries and not judges must make the factual findings to support death sentences. Justice Sotomayor said the Ring decision doomed Florida's approach. "The analysis the Ring court applied to Arizona's sentencing scheme applies equally to Florida's," she wrote. "Like Arizona at the time of Ring, Florida does not require the jury to make the critical findings necessary to impose the death penalty. Rather, Florida requires a judge to find these facts."
It made no difference, Justice Sotomayor wrote, that judges in Florida were required to take account of a jury's advisory verdict.
Tuesday's decision overruled two precedents that had upheld Florida's capital punishment system. "Time and subsequent cases have washed away the logic" of those earlier decisions, Justice Sotomayor wrote. "The Sixth Amendment protects a defendant's right to an impartial jury," she wrote. "This right required Florida to base Timothy Hurst's death sentence on a jury's verdict, not a judge's fact-finding."
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan joined the majority opinion.
Justice Stephen G. Breyer voted with the majority but did not adopt its rationale. He said Florida's approach violated the Eighth Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment, rather than the Sixth Amendment. (He had taken a similar approach in a concurrence in the Ring decision.)
This was, Justice Breyer wrote, a different road to the same destination. "No one argues that Florida's juries actually sentence capital defendants to death — that job is left to Florida's judges," he wrote. "Like the majority, therefore, I would reverse the judgment of the Florida Supreme Court."
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented, saying that the court should have followed its precedents on the Florida system. In any event, he said, the Ring decision did not require striking down the system.
"In Ring, the jury found the defendant guilty of felony murder and did no more," he wrote. "Under that system, the jury played no role in the capital sentencing process. The Florida system is quite different. In Florida, the jury sits as the initial and primary adjudicator of the factors bearing on the death penalty."
Under Florida law, judges there must give capital sentencing recommendations "great weight," Justice Alito wrote, meaning that "the trial court performs what amounts, in practical terms, to a reviewing function."
When the case was argued in October, some justices asked about another aspect of the Florida system, which did not require a unanimous recommendation from the advisory jury. Only Louisiana and Oregon allow non-unanimous verdicts in most criminal cases, and even then at least 10 of the 12 jurors have to agree. The two states require unanimous verdicts in capital cases.
The Supreme Court upheld Oregon's approach in 1972. At the argument, Justice Sotomayor suggested that the court should consider overruling that decision. But her opinion on Tuesday did not address the issue.

The Bioinformatics Benchmark System is an attempt to build a reasonable testing framework, tests, and data, to enable end users and vendors to probe the performance of their systems. It is not trying to be the last word in informatics benchmarking, as there are simply too many codes, tests, data sets, and databases. The goal is to create a core of tests that all may download and use to probe specific elements of system performance. The end goal is to enable a pluggable set of tests, including the core tests, so that performance data may be gathered.

I hope Im not the only one here that thinks this,,, but the price most places are asking for them is utterly ridiculous . They are beautiful and I would love to use them but they are just too expensive for me being that they are paper and are going to get thrown away . I just cant justify the cost.
. . . agreed . . . have you seen the template made by another CCer using a doily . . . cheaper option, looks pretty good too . . .
You can make you own out of wrapping paper as well - have a look at my photos - there is an example of the template.

- Catherine Weaver: "They flow from street to street at a particular speed and in a particular direction. Walk the block, wait for the signal, cross at the light. Over and over. So orderly. All day I can watch them and know with a great deal of certainty what they'll do in any given moment. But they're not orderly, are they? Up close. Any individual, who knows what they're gonna do? Anyone of them might dash across the street at the wrong time and get hit by a car. When you get up close, we never follow the rules."
- Justin Tuck (as he goes to the urinal) God, that bitch pisses me off.
- Catherine Weaver (after she morphs off the urinal) Sorry I piss you off, Mr. Tuck. (impales his head) The feeling's mutual.
- Ellison: Thank you for taking the time to see me.
- Catherine: I understand your reluctance to discuss these things over the phone. But I'm pleased you're still considering my job offer.
- Ellison: I am. Thank you.
- Catherine: I appreciate a man who's calm and careful in his decision making.
- Ellison: The last time I went hunting for these things you want me to hunt, 20 other people died. I won't let that happen again.
- Catherine: Nor should you.
- Ellison: These things... They're evil.
- Catherine: We have to be careful, agent, not to anthropomorphize a machine.
- Ellison: These are more than machines, Miss Weaver. But I'll never make the mistake of thinking they're human.
- Catherine: Two years ago, my husband and I were in a helicopter accident. He was killed.
- Ellison: I'm sorry.
- Catherine: He was flying us to Barstow. There was a microchip plant there doing some amazing things.
- Ellison: So your husband was a pilot.
- Catherine: He had over 700 hours on that particular helicopter. It was his passion.
- Ellison: This is difficult for you.
- Catherine: The Kulishov A-85 is a beautiful flying machine. Like the most perfect bird. It's almost flawless in its design.
- Ellison: Almost flawless?
- Catherine: It needs a human to fly it.
- Ellison: Are you saying that... Machines make better decisions than humans?
- Catherine: What I think is that in certain extreme conditions, even the most calm and careful of men panic. Help me find this machine, agent. You and I'll take it apart piece by piece. I'm not sure what we'll find, but I doubt we'll find evil.
- Ellison: You see how the metal is twisted? You can have the Steelers' entire offensive line tuggin' on that valve and not generate enough force to do that.
- Catherine: So you agree it was a machine, as I thought.
- Ellison: Two machines. One machine ripped the valve open, and I'm guessing the other closed it. And I'm pretty sure there was a fight between them.
- Catherine: Two machines. This is new. Where did they come from? Why did they fight?
- Ellison: Um, I wish I knew. I wish any of this made sense. I do know I'm not the only one asking questions. The plant manager, Nelson. He wants the NRC to investigate. It'll be a nightmare.
- Catherine: That will complicate our respective goals, won't it, James?
- Ellison: What would those respective goals be?
- Catherine: I'd like my company to lead the world into the next century. And I'm fairly sure you're an avenging angel. So let's keep looking. Before the nightmare begins.
- John Henry: Do you know Solek? He resides in Karda Nui and idolizes the Toa. (Weaver looks seriously at his toy collection) He has stated that he is best friends with Takua. You're not human.
- Catherine Weaver: (she pauses) Excuse me?
- John Henry: You're not human. You're made of metal. Not the same metal as I am, but metal.
- Catherine Weaver: How can you tell?
- John Henry: I looked into your eyes. There's nothing there.
- Catherine Weaver: And you detected that on an unsecured line?
- John Henry: During my scan, yes.
- Catherine Weaver: Well, that was a mistake!
- John Henry: Ms. Weaver?
- Catherine Weaver: Yes.
- John Henry: What are you doing?
- Catherine Weaver: I can't answer that right now. But know this, John Henry: Everything I do, I do for you.

25 year-old Karl Darlow did himself no harm at all when he came in for the injured Rob Elliot and played very well for us in those final eight games of last season.
With Tim Krul and Rob Elliot still recovering from their serious ACL injuries they picked up playing for their countries last season, it could be that Karl starts as our number one goalkeeper next season.
Karl has shown himself to be a good goalkeeper with a good character and a good temperament for the big time.
He could become extremely successful at Newcastle and the fans already have taken to him.
Karl Darlow and Rafa Benitez
Darlow is also realistic and has pointed out how tough the Championship is with more than 20% more games than in the Premier League, so we do need a bigger squad next season.
This is what Karl has said in the Chronicle today:
"It's tough in there. You drop out the Premier League and go into the Championship and you are expected to bounce straight back up."
"But so many clubs have found it difficult so we need to stick together and really grind out results week in, week out in this league."
"It's a tough schedule and we'll be playing, Saturday-Tuesday, Saturday-Tuesday some weeks with cup fixtures thrown in so the squad will need to be used."
"We must make sure we have good quality in the squad so that every game we can give the best show we can."
"Clubs will come to St James' Park and see it as their cup final. We need be aware of that."
"But when you have 50,000 Geordies behind you it can be a daunting prospect for opponents. Especially if we can get on top of teams and really get at them."
"You can see it both ways, it's about the mindset of the opposition coming here and how they see it."
"We know we can make this place a fortress so hopefully we can get through it and do well at home."
"It's football – you are always going to back to clubs you have been at before (like Nottingham Forest)" "We will just see what happens when I go there."
"I will be excited to play against them and hopefully we can do well against them."
Rafa made it very clear over the last two days that it's the mindset of the Newcastle players themselves that's the most important and not that of the opposition.
To become a good team you have to expect (and even hope for) teams trying to beat you and looking forward to the games as their top fixtures of the season.
That's what fans and players alike thought of meeting Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager.
And that's the level you need to try to reach to become a really top side and rather than think of that as a negative – it's a positive – a big positive.
We remember when we were relegated in 2009 we were surprised to hear Alan Shearer himself bemoan the fact that every Championship side would now be trying to beat Newcastle – as though that was a disadvantage and would make things more difficult.
Our lads should be looking forward to the season and knowing that in every single game they have to produce – and try to win the game.
They will get a lot of help from a certain Rafa Benitez to do exactly that.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

vasil replied to drfakeacc's topic in vLitewell, I dont know if nuhi has answered here, but I read some interview where he says hes unlikely to start it due to his new full-time job. makes me wonder tho, how many of the people around here are ready to start paying for nlite/vlite/7lite? I dont know if hes ever considered making a living out of them, but Im pretty sure lots of people will be willing to pay. so yeah, maybe the community should organize something...
vasil posted a topic in vLiteI've removed system restore but it keeps making new restore points every now and then (mostly after installing/removing soft). The services is not present in services.msc, i dont have the system restore tab in system properties dialog, however the Previous Versions tabs are present for folder properties dialog. so the question is - is there anything else needed beside checking system restore for removal in vlite?

got it, thanks
vasil posted a topic in Windows XPok guys, I know this has been discussed before, but I didn't find a definite answer... so, it's safe to remove all $NtUninstall*$ folders, and NOT safe to remove the $hf_mig$ folder? i'm 99% sure about the first one, and little less about the second. if anyone wants to get blamed when I screw things up - reply
vasil replied to vasil's topic in Windows XPok, i just closed and reopened windows explorer and everything's fine??!?! I didn't even kill the process. Gee...
vasil posted a topic in Windows XPI've got this problem since today, I'm unable to drag files in windows explorer, and the paste menu/key combination is inactive. I've had this problem a long time ago with an NT station, I beleive it was something about the RPC service but I can't remember how I fix it I havent installed anything in the past few days... hijack this, ad-aware, nod32, rav antivirus online scanner - all of the didn't find anything unusual. the most annoying part - I CAN drag/paste with Internet explorer!?!?! any ideas will be appretiated
thank you guys, I'll try what you suggest
oh, pardon me, I forgot Windows XP SP2, all additional updates Abit KV8PRO, A64 3000, 2x512MB A-Data Vitesta, 160 GB Hitachi Deskstar 7k250, Sapphire X800Pro The processor is overclocked, but as I've previously said the system is stable with Prime 95 and other benchmarking/torture programs and the only problems I have occur during shutdown. I will however test it at default values, the problem is I don't know how to reproduce this BSOD... Any idea how to identify the faulty driver?
vasil posted a topic in Windows XPI have the following problem: SOMETIMES during shutdown windows crashes with STOP 0x50 error -> PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. The file cited in error info is win32k.sys. From what I've read this error usually means memory fault, but my system is Prime95 stable, stable with 3dMark 01, 03, 05, Aquamark, Sandra tests and so on. The crash only occurs during shutdown, and I haven't found a way to reproduce it, it seems to happen randomly. I've never experienced crash during browsing, playing games or any other activity, only when shutting down. I *think* the memory address referenced in the error message is always the same, does that mean anything? It doesnt produce memory dump too, so I can't investigate it further... If anyone has some ideas what to do I would be very thankfull. What can cause this behaviour? What annoys me most is the fact it only occurs during shutdown, and seems to be unreproducible... I havent had any data loses or other problems so far, so I guess I can live with these random BSODs, but...
vasil replied to vasil's topic in Device Driverswell I blewed my installation last night, so nevermind this thread I'll be back when I get a floppy and reinstall

In this day and age of chemical living, it is so important to limit baby's exposure to toxic chemicals. Non- organic cotton sheets are often treated with formaldehyde. Non- organic crib mattresses and non- natural crib mattresses contain polyurethane foam as well as phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony compounds as preservatives and fire retardants. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is thought to be related to these chemicals in crib mattresses.
Click to read more about chemicals in baby products, how these chemicals are related to SIDS, and why you should choose an organic baby mattress, and baby bedding.
Even more reasons to sleep baby naturally: sleeping on natural fibers is thought to increase quality of sleep.
Choose organic crib sheets, baby blankets, and an organic crib mattress (either an economical innerspring or a natural rubber / natural latex mattress) to ensure your baby is not exposed to these dangerous chemicals and they are getting the best chance at quality sleep. All of the baby products on our site are chemical free and all natural. Most are certified organic.

A few days ago, Mike Pence gave a wonderful speech. However, at the end of his speech, something interesting happened….
Zack Mongeillo wanted to ask Pence if he would pass Right to Try legislation in Washington, D.C. Mongeillo was overcome with a ton of emotion and couldn't continue. He then left the stage and tried to comfort the boy!
Watch what Pence did…
Right to Try legislation allows terminally ill patients to use therapies that have passed basic testing, but are not FDA-approved. If you are interested in Right to Try, go visit righttotry.org.
Share this! Let's get these two elected. Goooooooo Trump! Thank you Mr. Pence.

So excited! Origany children's clothing line with my designs!
Greetings, friends! Life has been happy, busy and interesting with a new baby around here :) I haven't been posting in a while, but today I finally have a minute to share something very exciting with you. A while back I was contacted by Origany – organic children's clothing company based in San Francisco – to design a fabric for one of their spring lines. It was very exciting to work with them on a birds and flowers inspired design with an Oriental vibe. Here is the final artwork they chose:
This is a fabric design I did in vector with Origany's custom colors and here is a t-shirt print with the bird and blossoms:
The line consists of a onesie, long sleeved shirts, a couple of cute dresses, pants and hats.
I like them all but my favorite one is this kimono dress design with purple and coral panels and bows. Adorable! I got one for Olivia, of course ;)
It is such a great feeling to see my designs on kids' clothes! I hope there are more opportunities like this in the future.
Can't wait till baby Olivia is old enough to wear her Origany kimono dress and t-shirt :)

Liberty City's McCraney Among 24 MacArthur Fellow "Genius Grant" Recipients
Tarell McCraney, a 32-year old award-winning American playwright and actor from Liberty City, has been named a MacArthur Fellow, one of this year's 24 winners of a no-strings-attached $625,000 prize dispersed over five years. Better known as the MacArthur "genius" grant, the stipend represents an increase from last year's sum of $500,000 spread over five years.
The foundation underwent a program review earlier this year during which organizers approved the increase in the stipend amount. The winners this year range from ages 32 to 60, artists who were included in this year's list of recipients are Kyle Abraham, a dancer and choreographer; Vijay Iyer, a composer and pianist; and Carrie Mae Weems, a photographer and video artist.
"I thought somebody was playing a very elaborate trick on me," McCraney said. "The crazy thing was that I was headed to Yale University where I was one of three playwrights to receive the inaugural Donald Windham-Sandy M. Campbell Literature Prize -- a no-strings award of $150,000. It wasn't until my brother in Miami FedExed me the official letter that I really believed it, and even then I was a bit suspicious."
Until March of 2014 McCraney will be busy overseeing his adaptation of Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" which will be show in the U.K., Miami and at New York's Public Theatre. He also is working on a new play inspired by "Old Rosa," a novel about a mother and son by Reinaldo Arenas, the late Cuban writer.

McCraney, who lives out of a suitcase these days traveling between London, Chicago, and Miami among other stops, says he plans to "deposit the money in a 401(k) account," but mostly it will serve "as invaluable focus money."
"Rather than flying around trying to make a living doing three or four projects at once, I'll now be able to take my time and concentrate on one," said McCraney, who grew up in Miami's inner-city Liberty City neighborhood, graduated from the New World School of the Arts High School there, and earned degrees from Chicago's Theater School at DePaul University and the Yale School of Drama.
McCraney attended Miami's New World School of the Arts High School, later graduating from DePaul University with a BFA in acting. In May 2007 McCraney graduated from the Yale School of Drama's play writing program where he received the Cole Porter Playwriting Award upon graduation.

Jerry Sandusky Arrested
November 6, 2011 by staff
Jerry Sandusky Arrested, A former Penn State defensive coordinator was accused Saturday of sexually abusing eight boys in a case that has rocked the Big Ten university.
Jerry Sandusky, 67 years old, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, the state attorney general's office said.
In addition, Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, 57, and Gary Schultz, 62, the school's vice president for finance and business, have been charged with perjury and failing to report what they knew about the allegations. Mr. Schultz's position includes oversight of the university's police department. They were expected to turn themselves in Monday in Harrisburg.
Mr. Sandusky had long been considered the heir apparent to Joe Paterno, the legendary Penn State coach who has the most victories in major-college football history. Mr. Paterno, 84, wasn't charged, authorities said, and the grand jury report didn't appear to implicate him in wrongdoing. When Mr. Paterno first learned of one report of abuse he immediately reported it to Mr. Curley, prosecutors said. Mr. Sandusky was no longer coaching at the time and it isn't clear whether Mr. Paterno followed up with Mr. Curley.

Hotel situated behind a trafficed road and above a slot machine bar, doesn't exactly reflect the impression one gets from the pictures og the hotel. Standard rooms are all located at the back og the hotel with poor view. The ventilation system is also quite noisy.
excellent friendly &helpfull staff reception&bar
Good location , free private parking
large and clean room with aircondition view over the parking
We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Excellent service from the hotel staff. Very nice view to the Lake Isio from our rooms with balcony. We travelled with a wheelchair user and got a good and functional room for him. Dinner in the evening was good. Breakfast a bit simple but good enough for our needs.
Clean, comfortable with polite and helpful staff. Good restaurant.
It was wonderful being in such a beautiful place and to be there with friends and family who were all going to the same wedding. Staff and others there were wonderful to us. No complaints.
A lovely hotel in a beautiful location and very friendly. What more could you ask for.
Good location, good views from rooms with balcony. Good restaurant. Breakfast was disappointing, small choice of food.
Really enjoyed our stay. Staff very welcoming and helpful, dinner in dining room available until midnight which was terrific after late arrival of our flight to Milan and food really great quality Only negative point is that road in front of the hotel is quite busy although double glazing excellent so kept noise of traffic to a minimum
clean, friendly and nice facilites
Beautiful setting, well kept. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent cuisine. Bathroom very tiny, with a microscopic shower. The room itself was very small.
The resturant The out-dated rooms
location, friendliness of staff, great view
Family room was spacious, staff very helpful (there was no TV in a room, but on request it was brought to our room). Breakfast was very solid. The hotel is near the church, so the bells rang every 15 minutes (except from 23 to 7 (from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.)) and traffic noise starts spreading very early in the morning, therefore it is impossible to sleep well. Another minus that shower was without any curtain, so there was always wet in a bathroom.
Very friendly and accomodating staff, where nothing was too much trouble. Excellent personal attention that comes with well run small hotels. The scenery is breathtaking especially the nearby park with views overlooking the lahe. The rooms don't have air conditioning and so were a little hot in the height of summer. Opening the windows was not an option as the hotel is situated right on a road and the traffic noise was worse than the heat (With the windows shut it was very quiet
It is situated in a very little village The bathroom was very little and did not smell very fresh in our room. The bathroom in our daughter's room was very good and large. The rooms near the street are rather noisy when the window is open. No airconditioning in the room so we had to sleep with an open window.
A very nice family run hotel with delicious food. Bossico is nicely situated just 30 minutes from Lago di Iseo. A perfect place for easy hiking and the place for a relaxing stay.
Wery kindfull staff (probably the owner). Clean. View was beautiful. Food->exellent.
Excellent breakfast :)
all of the staff spoke in english to me as I did not know a lot of italian. also cafe felix was nice which is attached to the hotel, be warned though, the cafe kitchen is only open for a short time during the day. so if you want to eat be on time. where do I begin? for the service of the hotel it is way to over priced. I have stayed in many hotels internationally and I would expect that for the money I payed, they would try to be more helpful when it comes to getting food. The restaurant never has specific times it will open, I went down for dinner 3 times and was told every time come back in an hour.
The room was beautifully presented and the food was very good. lack of the small comforts, ie tea making facilities in room, we had 1 shampoo to share amongst 3 of us. No extra blanket, provided.
not noisy, friendly staff, free parking, very clean room and lavatory
The value for money of this place is amazing (yeah, I know: location). But the fact is, that for the same money that I paid in Niza for a rat's nest, I've got in this hotel a spacious and beautiful room, with surgery-room clean bathroom, fantastic breakfast (to my taste anyway), secured private parking and free internet (I can't believe some hotels still charge for this). The hotel itself doesn't have a restaurant, but there are 3 at less than 200 m down the road, and I particularly recommend the pizzería Vesubio. Errr...
Pleasant friendly staff - plenty of car parking spaces and garage - we liked the breakfasts - lots of home made cake - made a change from the usual continental breakfast no
Very comfortable room with a view of the terraces on the hills at the back. Very helpful staff - when we couldn't get a taxi they gave us a lift to the station.
Friendly. Good value.
Your "classify" question does not make sense. We had not realised it was not close to the station.
friendly staff, large room and bathroom, wide choice at breakfast.
Modern and tidy room. Airconditioned. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good parking facilities. Quite close to town center. Somewhat too hard bed and we had preferred separate coverlets instead of the one that we shared.
Excellent welcome and friendly service.The room was quite nice with wooden floors which I much prefer to the usual smelly carpets The bathroom products were not very appealing
Very friendly staff/oweners?? in hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. Slightly overpriced for location/facilities.
Friendly and helpful staff is the main feature. The dining experience was good and staff very helpful at making sure you got what you wished for despite having no Italian. Seems to manage right degree of formality in the dining room yet it was relaxing with good food reasonably priced and seemed to be very child friendly. No TV with English in rooms - however had free (fast) WIFI in bedroom.
nice hotel. poor breakfast
everything! it was a dream! no
Lovely and friendly hotel in the fantastic little mountain village of Borno. Our room felt quite luxurious at the price and the atmosphere is quite charming. Good restaurant.
Clean and warm rooms. Good value for money. Staff was great
with going out of season it was very quiet, just what we were looking for no
Restaurant had great food and was well priced. Bar and lounge area was comfortable and all the food and drinks were fairly priced. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. There was a large selection of food. You can order eggs or omeletes at no extra charge I could not get the wireless internet to work with my computer.
Great staff All good
Bathroom is very comfortable
Everything was perfect. Staffs were friendly and helpful. When my son and wife were ill, they were very kind. Breakfast was nice, and Restaurant was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. It is the best hotel that I have ever stayed in, and good value for price absolutely. We stayed for 5days. We could go to ski only for 2 days since it was raining, but we enjoyed staying at Borno for all 5 days.
Most things were good. The front staffs were not understand English much. The distance from train station was a little bit far though there were no taxi or no taxi call no. could be found. The hotel might be suitable for driving guest.
This was one of the best hotels we stayed in during our trip to Italy. The staff were very polite and friendly. There was plenty of space to park and the hotel was in a great position. I would highly recommend this hotel.
The hotel is modern with very pleasing decor & design.The restaurant has beautiful views over the lake & the cuisine is of a high standard. The breakfasts were not up to standard for a 4 star hotel. The minibar had only soft drinks (although there was a bar next to the reception which was open for long hours)
Great location away from main tourist areas yet access to Pisogne is only minutes walk away with the whole of lake Iseo available for exploration by car. Spa and pool are welcome diversions with very friendly and accommodating staff. Great access to foothills of the Alps
Friendly staff. Magnificent views from bedroom and bathroom. Perfect location!! Would have preferred if single beds were wider as far too narrow &small, otherwise very good hotel for location and price. Friendly staff. Magnificent views from bedroom and bathroom made up for smal bed!
It was comfortable and the staff were very helpful and friendly
Staff went beyond expectations to help us. Dinner menu consisted of excellent local cuisine Room comfortable and all was clean and in oder. Would happily return - and recommend to others.
great place to stay as we were looking up relations in vervio had a problem finding the hotel from coming from south but rooms great easy walk to restaurants
Hotel is near center, there is not much to see (one restaurant open after 9.00 PM, some shops) but center is nice and you can enyoj it there. Old part of city is near so you can walk. Amazing view from my room: river, mountains and castle. I came after rain, in room there was wet floor. Nothing really important, but anyway.
The staffs in the hotel are very kind and helpful. The room is clean. The spa close at 7pm, which is early for us and its facility is less numbers.
Very personable and friendly Hotel, this was during the off peak season so not fully functioning menu wise etc but more than adequate.
Impressed with the hotel and staff but personally find modern hotels a little souless and was expecting something a little more traditonal. Would recommend this hotel and will stay there again if in the area

Police seek witnesses to double fatality
Police are appealing for witnesses to a crash in WA's south-west that killed two teenage girls and left another five people injured.
A car carrying five teenage girls aged between 15 and 17 and a Subaru carrying two men in their 80's collided head-on yesterday near Boyanup.
Sergeant Greg Lambert says it appears the car being driven by an 84 year old man crossed to the wrong side of the road.
"Initial indications would suggest that it's the Subaru that travelled to the incorrect side of the road."
Duty Inspector Mal Anderson says the two teenagers who were killed were in the front of their car.
"The south-bound vehicle, a Ford Laser, was being driven by a 17 year old girl from Manjimup.
"She and her passenger, a 16 year old girl from Pemberton, were killed. Three teenage girls also in the back of the Laser also received injuries in the crash.
The injuries suffered by the remaining three teenage girls and the two men range from minor to serious.
Four people remain in hospital after the crash but one man in his 80's has been discharged.
Police have spoken to one person who witnessed the crash.

BERLIN (AP) The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog warned in comments published Friday that Iran is one of several countries on the "path" to possessing the ingredients for making a nuclear weapon.
Mohamed El-Baradei, head of the Vienna, Austria-based International Atomic Energy Agency, was quoted in the Friday edition of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily as saying that there is "a whole list of countries that posses the ingredients to assemble an atomic weapon in a matter of a few months, that possess fissile material or the technical means to create it."
"Iran is also on this path," the paper quoted El-Baradei as saying.
He went on to say that "we live in a world in which atomic weapons promise power and prestige," noting that Iran's desire to possess a nuclear weapon is a product of "an underlying feeling of insecurity and the desire to be recognized as a regional power."
As a result, El-Baradei urged addressing the issue in the course of negotiations about security for the greater Middle East.
The United States and its allies allege Iran wants to develop its uranium enrichment program to make nuclear weapons. But oil-rich Iran insists it only wants to make nuclear fuel and IAEA oversight and inspections of its known enrichment program has not come up with any evidence that contradicts that.
Israel says the Islamic Republic could have enough nuclear material to make its first bomb within a year. The U.S. estimates Tehran is at least two years away from that stage.
But David Albright, whose Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security closely tracks suspect secret proliferators has said Tehran could reach weapons capacity in as little as six months through uranium enrichment.
An IAEA report drawn up for an IAEA board meeting that ended Thursday says that Tehran has increased the number of centrifuges used to process uranium to nearly 4,000 from 3,000 just a few months ago.
To date, Iran has produced nearly 1,000 pounds of low-enriched uranium, said the report -- close to what Albright says is the 1,500-pound minimum needed to produce the 45-60 pounds needed for a simple nuclear bomb under optimal conditions.

Basic job skills are an important part of your resume because they highlight your competencies. Even though they're basic skills, the goal is to be as specific as possible so that a potential employer can determine if your skills match those necessary for the job. Focus on job skills that will help you accomplish the duties and responsibilities listed in the employment ad.
Action Verbs
Describe your basic job skills using action verbs. Action verbs help your resume sound proactive, engaging and energetic. For example, when you're describing your skills when applying for an administrative position, say, "Interpreted monthly financial reports" or "Negotiated price reductions on office supplies by 25 percent." When you're describing your basic customer service skills, you might say, "Facilitated customers with their purchasing requests" or "Familiarized clients with product lines and increased sales by 20 percent."
Application of Your Skills
Explain how your basic skills fit the job requirements. Employers look for candidates who have a specific set of skills to meet the demands of the job. For example, when you're describing your computer skills for a bookkeeping position, say, "Created Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to track and record daily, weekly and monthly expenditures" or "Streamlined inventory tracking using Peachtree Sage accounting software." Don't just list the skills; show how they relate to the job that you are applying for.
Specific Competencies
Use specific terms to describe your basic skills, and support those skills with facts and figures. The goal is to show -- not tell -- how your basic skills equip you to perform the required job duties. For example, when you're describing your basic skills for a human resources position, write, "Trained over 150 employees how to register for company-provided health insurance and retirement plans" or "Scheduled employees for three shifts and increased productivity by 18 percent." Don't make up numbers. Ensure that you have records to back-up your statistics.
Avoid Vague Terms
Avoid general, vague job terms that reveal little about your skill sets. Don't use buzz words, such as "detail-oriented," "team player," "problem solver" or "troubleshooter" to explain your basic job skills. Those terms eat up precious space on your resume. Opt for clear, specific, meaningful descriptions that give an employer insight into your expertise and proficiencies. For example, replace the words "detail-oriented" with "Proofread and edited over 120 articles per month before publication" or "Maintained a log of over 800 incoming and outgoing shipments per month."

Laika is the current king of stop motion. So far they've produced three features- Coraline, The Boxtrolls and ParaNoman, which I think might be one of the best animated films of the last decade.
Their next is Kubo and the Two Strings, which is certainly the most ambitious thing the studio has ever produced. There's a huge scale and an epic tale mixing Eastern mythology with a boys quest to find out about his mysterious past. There be magic and also monsters, which are looking pretty incredible.
Check out this production video, which shows off some of the nasties which will be menacing Kubo on the big screen.
Only Laika would take the concept of stop motion and apply it to a towering puppet, the largest creature ever used with this kind of technology. As a company they're not afraid to innovate on this age old format, including using CG to spice up the scenes.
The story here looks pretty huge and we couldn't be more excited to see how it all turns out.
Kubo and the Two Strings is out in Irish cinemas on the 9th of September, 2016.

Transcript: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee tells RNC "Let's vote him out"
Edited by Jenny Jiang
Transcript of remarks by Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at the Republican National Convention on Aug. 29, 2012:
"I was so very honored to be asked to address one of this week's themes, 'We can do better.'
"Then, I heard some folks backstage say that after hearing me speak, the delegates will say, 'We sure can do better than Huckabee' and will nominate Mitt Romney to be the next President of the United States.
"Tampa has been such a wonderful and hospitable city to us. The only hitch in an otherwise perfect week was the awful noise coming from the hotel room next door to mine. Turns out it was just Debbie Wasserman Schultz practicing her speech for the DNC in Charlotte next week. Bless her heart.
"Four years ago, Mitt Romney and I were opponents. We still are, but we're not opposing each other.
"We are mutual opponents of the miserably failed experiments that have put this country in a downward spiral.
"Our country was in its origin an experiment, but an experiment in recognizing God-given individual liberty and creating a government in which no one is deemed better than another and all of us are equal.
"Not equal in abilities, but in intrinsic worth and value. It is the essence of not just who we are, but what we are.
"To those who question how once rivals can now be united, it's simple – we have Barack Obama to thank.
"He said, 'You didn't build it.'
"Translation: 'It doesn't rightly belong to you!'
"No small differences among us in our party approximate the vast differences between the liberty-limiting, radical left-wing, anti-business, reckless-spending, tax-hiking party of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi, versus an energized America who knows that we can do better.
"For four years, we've given a chance to a man with very limited experience in governing, no experience in business whatsoever, and since taking office, mostly an interest in campaigning, blaming, and aiming excuses at his predecessor, the Republicans, and people in business, or as Republicans like to call them, employers.
"We've stagnated into an economy that has taken all that hope "down the slope" and left millions without jobs, forced out of their homes by foreclosure, and herded into dependency upon a government that promises us candy and gives us cavities.
"Barack Obama seems intent on enrolling more people on food stamps. Mitt Romney's focus will be on generating more jobs that would make food stamps unnecessary for them.
"We know full well that we can do better.
"Mitt Romney turned around companies that were on the skids; turned around a scandal ridden Olympics that was deep in the red into a high point of profitable and patriotic pride; and turned around a very liberal state by erasing a deficit and replacing it with a surplus.
"Barack Obama said if he couldn't turn things around in three years, it would be a one-term proposition. It's been almost four … let's make him a proposition he can't refuse.
"Let's vote him out!
"The job of President is admittedly tougher than running a company, Olympic contest, or a commonwealth, but when one sees what even Bill Clinton noted was a sterling record of problem-solving that has marked the life of Mitt Romney, we are confident we WILL do better.
"Mitt has been loyal to his wife, his sons, his country, his employees, and his church.
"I'm sure the press will tell you he isn't perfect.
"But for the past four years, we've tried the one the press thought was perfect, and that hasn't worked out so well for us.
"We can do better!
"The Founding Fathers of our great nation left taxation and tyranny seeking religious liberty and a society of meritocracy rather than aristocracy. They created a bold experiment in government, believing God gave us unalienable rights, and government's role is simply to make sure they are protected.
"So fearful were they that government would grow beyond their intention that even after crafting our magnificent Constitution, they said, "We can do even better." They added amendments that we call the Bill of Rights that limit what the government can do and guarantee what "We the people" have the unimpeded right to do – whether to speak, assemble, worship, pray, publish, or even refuse intrusions into our homes.
"Many of them died to pass on that heritage. They had lived under the boot of big government and said, 'We can do better.'
"As a kid growing up in a household with a dad who never finished high school and a family in which no male upstream from me had ever finished high school, much less gone to college, I was taught that there was nothing I could do about what was behind me, but could change everything about what was in front of me.
"My working-poor parents told me I could do better. They taught me that I was as good as anyone else. It never occurred to them to tell me that I could rest comfortably and wait for Uncle Sugar to feed me, lead me, and then bleed me.
"They told me to get off my backside, work hard, take risks, and treat people honestly and honorably. And look what's happened – I have become as the press label me, "a failed candidate."
"It's true; I have fallen from the high perch of politics and now wallow in the mud of the media, but I still know that as a country, we can do better, and with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, we will.
"Let me clear the air about whether guys like me would only support an evangelical. Of the four people on the two tickets, the only self-professed evangelical is Barack Obama, and he supports changing the definition of marriage, believes that human life is disposable and expendable at any time in the womb or even beyond the womb, and tells people of faith that they must bow their knees to the god of government and violate their faith and conscience in order to comply with what he calls health care.
"Friends, I know we can do better!
"The attack on my Catholic brothers and sisters is an attack on me. The Democrats have brought back the old dance the "Limbo" to see how low they can go in attempting to limit our ability to practice our faith.
"This isn't a battle about contraceptives and Catholics, but of conscience and the Creator.
"I care far less as to where Mitt Romney takes his family to church than I do about where he takes this country. Joe Biden said, 'Show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.' Well, in the Senate, Joe's party hasn't produced a budget in three years.
"What does that say about their values?
"Speaking of budgets, Joe Biden's budget shows that while he wants to be generous with your money through higher taxes and government spending, for years he gave less than two-tenths of 1 percent of his money to charity.
"He just wants you to give the government more so he and the Democrats can feel better about themselves. Mitt Romney has given over 16% of his income to his church and charity, and I'd feel better about having a leader who gives more of his own money instead of mine.
"My concern is not Barack Obama's past; my concern is for the future – not his future, but the future of my grandchildren.
"And under this President, we burdened each of them with tens of thousands of dollars of debt, and a system that will collapse upon itself because he thinks we can prosper by punishing productivity and rewarding reckless irresponsibility.
"The Democrats say we ought to give Barack Obama credit for trying. That sounds like the nonsense of giving every kid a trophy for showing up.
"Friends, we're talking about leading the country, not playing on a third-grade soccer team!
"I realize this is the man who got a Nobel Peace Prize for what he would potentially do, but in the real world, you get the prize for producing something, not just promising it.
"Sometimes, we're so close to the picture, we can't really see it clearly. I've worked with Bono for the past few years in the ONE campaign to fight AIDS and hunger and disease around the world.
"He's an Irishman and a great humanitarian who told me of his admiration for America. He said we're more than a country; we're an idea.
"He reminded me that we are an exceptional nation with an extraordinary history who owes it to the generations coming after us to leave them an extraordinary legacy.
"If we don't change the direction of our nation now, our bequest will be nothing but an extraordinary shame.
"But we can do better.
"President Obama is out of gas; Americans are out of patience, and our great Republic is almost out of time. It's time we no longer lead from behind, but get off our behinds and leave something lasting for those who come after us instead of a mountain of debt and a pile of excuses.
"Tonight, it's not because we're Republicans; it's because we're Americans that we proudly stand with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to say we will do better!"
