#LableMeAble is a campaign to encourage person-first language. Language affects attitudes and attitudes affect action. We can create a more accepting community by adopting person-first language.
#LabelMeAble Packet Take the Pledge
What is person-first language?
Person-first language is an alternative way to talk about a child's special needs that places the focus on the person. It emphasizes the individual rather than the diagnosis. For example, instead of referring to a "Down syndrome child," person-first language would be "a child with Down syndrome." The intent is to emphasize the things we all have in common rather than differences, and to allow the many things that are special about our children to shine through.
Person-first language is important. However, another inclusive solution is to simply refer to the child purely by their name.
|Terms to avoid:
He's autistic; autistic children
He's a Down's child
She's developmentally delayed
|Terms to use:
He has autism
He has Down syndrome
She has a developmental delay
Remember: a disability descriptor is simply a medical diagnosis; person-first language respectfully puts the person before the disability.
Meet the #LabelMeAble children.
Click on each child's photo and follow the #LabelMeAble campaign on social media to learn more about what makes each of these Children's TLC students unique.
Click here to meet the Children's TLC staff who will represent the #LabelMeAble children during media opportunities.
Taking action is easy.
2. Share on social media
Sample Tweet: "I've adopted person-first language because words matter. The child is more than a diagnosis. #LabelMeAble"
3. Share your story
Inspire others with your own experiences. Comment below or post on Facebook with why you feel person-first language is important. See what our staff is saying about person-first language here.
4. Talk to your children and/or friends
Talk with your children about the importance of accepting others as they are. Remind your friends that we're all much more alike than different. Adopting person-first language will help create a more accepting community.
5. Help us debunk myths that come with labels by downloading this sign and sharing how you've been labeled. Remember to use the hashtag #LabelMeAble!

Anyone know of a way to end an idle application after a set time.
Our users leave programs open that have active connections to the SQL lite database on one of our servers, and I need to keep the concurrent connections as low as possible. (or face upgrading to the "real" MS-SQL server).
The users are busy in other programs so I can not use the log out idle user function.
Anyone solved this in the past?
Jun 28, 2010 at 4:33 UTC
A quick google shows up this http:/
However at almost $500 it isnt cheap.

Jun 28, 2010 at 4:34 UTC
The only 2 ways I can think of to solve this are not going to be easy.
1) Educate your users (very difficult if not impossible).
2) Implement Terminal server\Citrix (again difficult because of the expense)
Sorry not to be of more help.
Jun 28, 2010 at 5:15 UTC
I have found autocloseidle and it seems to do just what I want, also on a Citrix server. Wich is where I want to close the app. But it's too expensive. (just to shut down this one app)
The app is both local and on Citrix, but once more than five users are on it gets really sluggish. And reports takes forever. Even if the four other users are idle.
I can not use the Citrix/TS log off idle user function because, as i mentioned, the user are not necessarily idle at all, but can be deep into word or some such.
So only the app is idle, not the user session.
And educating the users is a no go, been there done that. They can't even follow a simple written procedure. (do what it says, not what you think it says...) but I digress :-)
Jun 28, 2010 at 5:21 UTC
I have seen others start a script as the app and then the script starts the app and keeps track of it that way.
It also appears to be the way autocloseidle works.
I have done some experimenting with that, but so far have not gotten it to work very well.
Jun 28, 2010 at 5:28 UTC
A long shot... you can kill a process, thus application using wmic. Only problem I do not think u can see idle times there, but perhaps u can see that in ur SQL lite manager or somewhere else. If so, u can prolly make a script to do this for ya.
Jul 5, 2010 at 1:53 UTC
Auto close idle also lets you define exit messages and their replies.
Such as:
Text: "Save changes before closing" answer = "yes"
Even more useful that way :-)
Now to see if I can get my boss to cough up 500$

text: (Adds average total revenue generated from Europe for the recommended companies.)NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- JPMorgan's ( JPM) investment strategists are telling the bank's customers to buy large-cap cyclical stocks because those companies are largely immune to Europe's debt crisis. The New York-based investment bank's research shows that only 8% of S&P 500 companies' earnings per share are generated in Europe. That implies that $8.40 of $105 in 2012 EPS, the bank's estimate, will come from Europe. If European profits fall by a third, even a modest increase in the rest of the world would compensate for the loss.

Live Cricket Watch: Ind vs SL
April 2, 2011 by staff
Live Cricket Watch: Ind vs SL, After being recognized as the country's commercial capital and entertainment hub, Mumbai has finally found international recognition as the cricket capital of the nation to reach the final host the World Cup on Saturday was played in India a second time. Long been a dominant force in domestic tournaments IC, Mumbai holds the record of success in the prestigious Ranji Trophy, winning 39 times
Mumbai has reached the Ranji final 43 times, finishing runner-up four times. For decades, it has been the main supply line of cricketers in the Indian team since the nation played their first game of a trial in 1932.NTQuMTU2LjUwLjcx
From Vijay Merchant Vijay Hazare by Vinoo Mankad, with Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, Mumbai has year after year produces large international cricket have not only kept the country's flag flying, but also provided unmitigated joy to those who know the game worldwide.
However, Bombay lost the World Cup final of 1987 with the historic Eden Gardens in Calcutta, mainly due to the capacity of Eden elderly.
Eden then had a capacity of about 90,000, which has now dropped to about, after the recent renovation.
In 1996 when the World Cup was held in the subcontinent for the second time, Mumbai was again not taken into account for the final, which was staged at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
However, April 2 was finally the big day in Mumbai with the confrontation between India and Sri Lanka for the World Cup title in 2011 at the Wankhede Stadium.
However, Wankhede with a maximum capacity of 33,000, nearly half of Eden, and the answer may be found in the change in the balance of power on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
From mid 1990 to 2005, Jagmohan Dalmiya, the first Indian to head the International Cricket Council, controlled the board policy. Changed even after the BCCI headquarters in Calcutta after the Shiv Sena threatened to spoil a confrontation between India and Pakistan in 1999. However, things changed after Sharad Pawar took over the BCCI.
33rd over: India 170-3 (target 275; Gambhir 80, Dhoni 27) Kulasekera, who has also gone by a few, replaces Murali. That's a counterintuitive change of Kumar Sangakkara, because you'd think he'd want your best players. Dhoni waves a couple through the covers in an envelope that returns five years. This is the best he has played in this World Cup, and while that's not saying much, it looks great. Some players seem to be stimulated rather than intimidated by the extreme pressure, monsters, and Dhoni is definitely one of them. "This game has felt like a small test," says Gary Naylor. "No stupid reverse sweep or Dilscoops and creating pedestrian and taking tickets, has been a priority for both parties. So much better than slogfests and endless dibbly-dobbling." WRONG. Dame Larsen, Latham and Marshall Harris, Garner and custody of any day.

Toni Collette felt she was being 'punched' in Glassland scenes
Toni Collette felt like she was being "punched" during every scene in 'Glassland'.
The 42-year-old actress says there was no easing her into the role of an alcoholic mother in the drama.
She said: "Usually when you're shooting a movie you start with an easy, ease-in scene.
"Maybe you'll walk from your car to a store. But there was no such scene in this movie. Every scene was like being punched."
Despite finding it challenging, the 'Muriel's Wedding' star admitted she was "blown away" by the script and says she knew she was "eager to jump in" after conducting a Skype chat with the movie's director and writer Gerard Barrett.
She added to The Guardian newspaper: "My agent sent it to me, and it blew me away. Then I spoke to Gerard on Skype. We had some frozen, frustrating moments, as you do with technology, but I really got a sense of a very grounded, perceptive, wise person.
"He wrote it, he understood what's going on in the story. It's so much more than a kitchen-sink drama. It's a love story, and it has poetry.
"It rang very, very true. Ultimately, no matter what kind of story it is, if there's a kernel of truth in it that resonates with me, I'm very eager to jump in. I just knew I had to do it. I'm never really a fence-sitter. I'm either on or off."

Transcript: is what we fight for, an ideal for which many have died and for which many more are ready to give up their lives. The laternative is a South AFrica where millions of Africans in so called white areas will remain forever oppressed and exploited, outcasts and foreigners, in thier own fatherland and always seeking opportunities to settle scores with those who have turned them into inferiors in thier own country.
Those who crawl on their bellies and eulogise the Nats for giving them freedom on a platter, who see in the so called independent Bantustans, the chance to make quick riches for themselves and to exploit their fellow Africans as ruthlessly as the whites have done for the last 300 or more years naturally welcome separate development as a new paradise where they will swim in comfort and pleasure and enjoy a status and honour they have never imagined even in their dreams. As the year drew to a close it was clear that an even bigger conflict between us and the enemy was about to break out, and that the two principal issues passes and Bantu Authorities would fan the flames far and wide.

Artist Statement of Margot McMahonMargot McMahon`s forms speak to us of both the endurance
and the fragile nature of the human spirit.
The figure and organic form interpreted in geometric rhythms are what Margot McMahon models in clay and casts in metal and concrete, welds in steel or carves in stone. Her work is a rhythm of lights and shadows playing over the textured surfaces of forms which refer to the everyperson as the hero. Captured in seated poses or walking stances, her forms speak to us of both the endurance and the fragile nature of the human spirit. A lifelong environmentalist, McMahon views the human form in its relationship to nature.
Public sculpture commissions and museum and gallery exhibitions have been the core of Margot`s work as an artist. She has exhibited her drawings and sculptures in Chicago, New York, Washington D.C, Sante Fe, Cincinnati and Connecticut. The Smithsonian, The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Chicago Historical Society, the Chicago Horticultural Society and Botanic Gardens, and Yale University have her sculptures in their collections. Besides Chicago area collections her sculptures and drawings are included in private collections in New York, Florida, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio, Connecticut, Paris and London.
When working on a public commission, Margot enjoys the process of 1) responding to a community; 2) researching the concepts of the sculpture; 3) intuitively interpreting the site; and 4) creating an informed and intuitive humanistic and expressive interpretation of the concept. Her Father and Child sculpture for the Homewood Flossmoor Park District reflects her collaboration with the sponsoring committee in establishing a dialogue so the sculptural statement reflects the community`s goals, resulting in an interactive eight foot high concrete sculpture of a father kneeling to support and talk with his child.
Margot McMahon has taught sculpting and drawing at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, DePaul University, Yale University`s Norfolk Summer School and assistant taught at Yale University while earning her MFA. She has been a board member of the Oak Park Area Arts Council and a commissioner on theVillage of Oak Park Public Art Advisory Commission and contributes on a committee of the Ragdale Foundation.

Wigan 0 Liverpool 4. Despite a good record against the Reds, the result here was never in doubt. Too easy for Liverpool, but they were clinical when it counted.
Nick Lamorte tells it how it is: "This match sums up Liverpool FC over the last 20 years....consistently inconsistent!"
Maloney fires a curling shot from a narrow angle, but once again Reina is there to beat the ball away.
Another strong save from Reina from a Maloney header. He even has the presence of mind to punch rebound clear.
Liverpool starting to try the flicks and tricks as their fans seem in party mood! Wigan all over the place.
GOAL!!! Wigan 0 Liverpool 4. Suarez. Hat-trick for the Uruguayan. Glenn Johnson rides several challenges, plays Suarez in, who has all the time in the world to pick his spot and put the Reds four up.
Liverpool have been heavily backed in play to rout the Latics, with 5-0 being gobbled up by Sky Bet punters at 6/1 before the half-time whistle went. Impressive Reds midfielder Coutinho is enhanced to 15/2 to bag the next goal for Brendan Rodgers' men.
Matthew Hendry has been on touch via email: "Hi Pete, I'm sure you already know this but right now as this game stands liverpool have already this season scored 5 more goals than they did in the entirety of last season. I'm sure that is a good sign for the Brendan Rodgers regime! Onwards and upwards hopefully!"
Wigan 0 Liverpool 3. Suarez heads to the top of the Premier League scoring charts after his double here. Too easy for Liverpool.
SAVE!!! Al Habsi this time keeps out a Suarez strike after poor defending from Boyce let the hitman in.
SAVE!!! Di Santo heads the ball goalward from six yards, but it is tipped over by Reina. Great reflexes from the Spaniard.
GOAL!!! Wigan 0 Liverpool 3. Suarez. Bizarre third goal. Suarez free-kick is deflected off Shaun Maloney on the end of the Wigan wall, and beats Al Habsi, who will be disappointed having got two hands to it.
Wigan players arguing amongst themselves at the moment. Roberto Martinez probably will want this half to end sooner rather than later!
Wigan are having better possession, but are losing out too cheaply in attack. Liverpool much more clinical.
SAVE! Pepe Reina keeps Liverpool 2-0 up with a fine one-handed save when the ball seemed destined for the top corner.
GOAL!!! Wigan 0 Liverpool 2. Suarez. All about the assist. Coutinho carries the ball to the edge of the box, and threads a delightful pass through to the Uruguayan, who slots it past Al Habsi with ease.
Coutinho breaks into the box, pulls it back for Allen, who is on his heels and can't quite reach the pass.
Enrique gets himself into a good position, but misplaces pass. Liverpool looking comfortable on the ball.
Liverpool stroking the ball around with consumate ease at the moment. Gerrard at the heart of everything.
GOAL!!! Wigan 0 Liverpool 1. Downing. Coutinho has time and space to pick out his man, with Downing arriving on cue to head the Reds into an early lead.
Almost a blistering start from the Latics, as Kone finds space in the area after Jamie Carragher misses the header, but his touch his heavy!
Rafee Ahmed has been in touch via email: "Just have a feeling for Wigan winning today with Kone who has been sensational for them..LFC are a very average side now and anyone can beat them why not Wigan, hoping for some cracking goals from both sides...2-1 Wigan"
Wigan to win 2-1 is 12-1 and Liverpool to win 3-0 is 16/1 with Sky Bet. See the other Price Boosts here: http://www.skybet.com/football/premier-league/event/14932711
Can Wigan spring a surprise here? It's an attacking looking line-up... @Pistolpeteh86 or email@example.com
Wigan XI: Al-Habsi, Scharner, Figueroa, Caldwell, Boyce, Beausejour, McCarthy, McArthur, Koné, Maloney, Di Santo.
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Jose Enrique, Agger, Carragher, Lucas, Allen, Gerrard, Downing, Coutinho, Suarez
Can the Premier League's top goalscorers in 2013 maintain their impressive form in front of goal? Is their too much expectation on the shoulders of Luis Suarez?
Please get in tough with your thoughts, predictions and opinions before kick-off and throughout the match via email: email@example.com. Or via Twitter: @Pistolpeteh86
Hello folks! Welcome to our live coverage of this clash between Wigan and Liverpool at the DW Stadium.

Burton Infinite Ride Liner Snowboard Boot Liner Review
Burton Infinite Ride Liner 2017 - 2015 Review by The Good Ride
The Burton Infinite Ride Liner used to be in the upper end boots but now they have the softer Life Ride liner. If you want more response and flex retention the Infinite ride should help. However it takes a lot longer to break in and eliminate hot spots. I did like it with boots like the Almighty and Imperial that have softer liners in there. Actually all 2017 Burton Boots now have the softer liner so the Infinite Ride Liner can work if you ride a lot each year and want to retain your boots flex longer.
Size 9 Infinite Ride Liner vs. Burton Almighty Liner that's also similar to the SLX and Ion Liner too.

Small Victories
This morning I went into the office and found a fax printed out. I noticed however that only three of the seven pages had printed. Upon examination, I realized that the fax toner / cartridge was empty. This made me very nervous. Our fax machine is not very fancy. In fact, it uses one of those "carbon-paper-on-a-roll-cartridges" (I am sure there is a technical word. I have no idea what it is). I am not good with these type of things and the German has had to change the roll in the past. However, the fax was part of an important translation and I could not wait for the German to get home. I dragged out the manual and took a deep breath. Dude, I changed the toner in 5 minutes and did not even rip the carbon paper! I was bouncy for hours.
My biggest victory was actually on Sunday. As the family was sitting around the table enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, we were chatting about this and that. My mother-in-law mentioned that she saw a very interesting television report in which many common day myths were disproved. "Really, like what?" I asked.
"Well, it turns out that cold kidneys do not actually lead to an infection. Infections are caused by bacteria that has nothing to do with whether or not your kidneys are cold. It may not even be necessary to cover them up."
I smirked. Dude, I could have told you that. Wait . . . I already have. However, I am just an American and not as reliable a source as RTL. I figured it was best not to say anything and I just starred at my plate and basked in the glow of my victory, even if no one else knew about it.

Turkey Talk Part III: So Good That We Did it Twice
Dinner was the same, minus the candied yams. I was a little disappointed, because half the fun is seeing the look of disgust on their face. The turkey was a big hit, as was the stuffing. However, I think that the vote on the pumpkin pie was mixed. Dinner was a little odd though. Everyone came, ate, and then left. Seriously, they were only here for 3 hours tops.
It think that all of this cooking and cleaning exempts me from kitchen duty for at least a month. On the other hand, I have learned a few things over the past week about preparing a Thanksgiving dinner.
1. Turkey is not that difficult to prepare. Cook it at about 350 degrees. My 4.4 Kilo bird (9 pounds) took about 3 1/2 hours. Placing whole celery and onions in the bottom of the pan adds flavor and makes it easier to get it out at the end.
2. Fresh cranberry sauces is better than the canned stuff. Dissolve 1 cup of sugar into 1 cup of orange juice. Add cranberries and a cinnamon stick. Cook until the cranberries begin to pop, for about 10 minutes. Place sauce in serving dish and cool. The sauce will gel as it cools. Be sure to take the cinnamon stick out after about 30 minutes, otherwise the taste is overwhelming.
3. Don't mash your yams. Slices or chunks are better.
4. Spice up bagged stuffing with celery, onion, chicken broth and fresh rosemary. No one will ever know that it was from a bag.
5. Pumpkin pie tastes much better cold than warm.
I am still so stuffed from the past week, that I don't want to think about the mounds of cakes, cookies, and chocolates coming at me in the next few weeks. You know what they say: 'Tis the season to be eating.

Turkey Talk Part II: The Aftermath
I love setting a pretty table. It makes things seem so civilized. However, I have noticed something odd about German table settings. Germans always have napkins on the table, usually some very colorful paper napkins. In fact, there is a wide range of colors, patterns and sizes for paper napkins here in Germany. Strangely enough, nobody actually uses them. One time I used a paper napkin at my in-laws and the person across from me looked at me like I had just committed murder. I always put napkins on the table. I prefer cloth napkins. Yesterday, two of my German guests did not want to use the napkins and one got upset when food got on it. Dude, wipe your hands with the napkin. That is what it is there for.
The company was great and we all drank and ate entirely too much. But that is what Thanksgiving is about. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is also about the clean up. Thank goodness that I had today off as I spent most of the day washing wine glasses.
At the beginning of dinner, I made everyone go around the table and say what they are thankful for. This is what I said:
I am thankful for my husband, because he cleans the toilet and loves me even when I make him crazy. I am thankful for my business partner, who inspires me to be a better teacher and has made my career switch a lot of fun. I am thankful for my friends, who make Germany not such a bad place to live. And finally, I am thankful for my crazy family, whom I love dearly even though they are far away.
While I was washing up today, I added up the cost of Thanksgiving.
Package from the U.S. with canned goods: $90 ($60 in postage alone!)
Two bottles of Pinot Noir, one bottle of champagne, one bottle of schnapps: 30 Euro
9 pound French turkey: 20 Euros
Freshly pressed napkins: one burned hand
The screwed up face of a German starring at you in disgust after trying candied yams for the first time: priceless

Turkey Talk: Part I
This is the first part, in my 3 part Thanksgiving day series. Although tomorrow is Thanksgiving, the holiday has actually begun here in C-burg. I have the next two days off, and tomorrow I am hosting a dinner party for 5 people. It is the one time of the year that I go all out and cook. I figure that doing it really well once a year saves me from a year full of disgraces and Maggie Mix.
On tomorrow's menu:
Cocktail Hour: stuffed mushrooms, cheese and crackers, apple orchard punch
Dinner: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, candied yams, green bean casserole, fresh salad (with a nice pinot noir to drink)
Dessert: pumpkin pie with whipped cream, coffee
Behold the before picture:
I am not a very creative cook, but there are few things I am good at. I am really good at pie crust. My secret is VERY cold water. Also, the amount of water is always different. You have to play with the dough a bit. If need be, use a little extra flour.
Many Germans have heard about Thanksgiving, but they are not sure what it is. I heard a radio announcer say that the U.S. and Canada will be celebrating tomorrow. That is not true. Canadians do have a Thanksgiving, but it is on the second Monday in October. U.S. Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November. And although Germans have "Erntedankfest," it is not quite the same as American Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. It is all about the food. There are no gifts and no special activities. It is simply a time for the entire family to sit around the table and eat and talk. My family did not do this much, so I guess that is why I enjoyed it so much. The day after Thanksgiving also kicked off the Christmas season and some very nice shopping. Unfortunately I don't get that here. Aldi started sell chocolate Sanats in October.
My VA friend is married to a bail bondsman. They love Thanksgiving, too, but for very different reasons. Seems that people do stupid things when you put them in a warm room with family and alcohol. Go figure.
Thanksgiving is also when Americans celebrate one of their founding myths: the Pilgrims journey to the new world and surviving a difficult year. I say myth, because the Pilgrims did not celebrate in Thanksgiving in November and the most certainly did not eat pumpkin pie (but rather swan and seal). Thanksgiving also emerged as an important story in the 1890s, as the number of immigrants increased. There was a search for identity amongst the melting pot, and these stories were spread to make people feel "more American." Searching for identity . . . I can relate to that.
My mother sends my Turkey Care Package every year so that my dinner will be as authentic as possible. However, my turkey is French. We are calling him Henri this year.
Unfortunately there are a few things that I simply miss. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I would put it on early in the morning, and eventually my father would come into the room. "What is this crap!?" He would grumble through the whole thing, but usually let me watch. In college I discovered football and Thanksgiving took on even new meaning.
I am building my own new Euro-American Thanksgiving memories here in C-burg. Although the German does not like the candied yams, he is all about some turkey. Today I was also very touched by his thoughtfulness. After teaching all day, I was dreading going home to my dirty apartment. Cleaning the toilet and baking pie is not my idea of a good time when I am so tired. However, when I stepped through the apartment door, I saw the vacuum in the hallway. I smelled the disinfectant from the door. He cleaned! Even the toilet! Yet one more thing to be thankful for.

A New Outlook
This is a very different look for me. For the past few years I have always worn framless or very light colored glasses. My philosophy has been that glasses should melt into your face so that you cannot see them. It is part of my fear of drawing attention to myself (kind of weird that I bog, huh?). Anyway, my glasses have been always been boring.
I finally decided that if I am going to wear glasses, I am going to WEAR glasses. The lady at the shop tried to talk me into some purple stripped ones. I had just come from an English lesson and was wearing a plain fitted, blue blouse, denim skirt, black hose and black loafers. I thought I looked nice, classic (okay and maybe a bit boring), but it frightens me that this German thought, "Yes, purple stripped glasses would definitely complete that outfit." But that is the thing about Germans. They definitely WEAR glasses. Unfortunately that leads to very bad things, like polka-dots or triangles.
I decided that this pair was "classic" but not boring. However, now I feel REALLY self-conscious. So far though the feedback has been good. Although the guy in the office across the hall said that they make me like a teacher . . . Is that a compliment or an insult?

I have really great friends
I am always excited to get snail mail; any kind of mail actually. Inside was a small of book about finding serenity and inner peace and a small note, "Saw this at the bookstore and thought of you. Take care." I was moved to tears.
I opened my email and found an email from one of my favorite people, Ch-ard, the Peace Corps volunteer extrodinare. He is about to wrap up his two years of English teaching in Ukraine. I feel bad when I complain about my teaching load. He has to do the same thing, and usually without heat. He wrote just to say, "Hi."
I have really great friends. I have been venting and moaning a lot over the past few months ("No, Claire, really?"), and during that time I got a lot of supportive emails, SMS and comments. I thought that it was high time to say, "THANK YOU!" My love and support here in C-burg, in the States and around the blogosphere has helped keep a smile on my face.
I have some great blogger buddies. I looked at my webstats for the first time in months. My daily average had been about 45 visits a day. It had dropped to 25. Ouch. But those 25 of you keep coming back. I will try to pick up the pace! My fellow ex-pat bloggers are meeting in Bonn on Saturday and I am very jealous! I will be . . . wait for it . . . teaching. But I think I will teach a little bit about blogging and keep you all in my thoughts.
If you have a friend that you have not written in a while, send them a note. It will make their day. Trust me. Much love and groovy vibes from C-burg.

Learning to Relax
At noon on Monday I was sitting in my pajamas in front of my computer working on lessons for that afternoon / evening. I had had a mild headache all morning, and then it turned ugly. I took one of the little pills that my doctor gave me. After about 30 minutes I could barely keep my eyes open and I quickly realized that I would NOT be able to drive a car, so for the first time, I called and cancelled a lesson. I would have felt bad, but I wound up asleep for the rest of the afternoon.
I realized this week that I need to learn how to relax. I spent Monday and Tuesday on meds fending off a migraine and cursing my body. I could not enjoy my first day off in a month. It sucked.
In an effort to be more "relaxed," I watched meaningless TV. I went to the market and spent 15 minutes trying to decide which eye cream to buy (which just made me feel old and not at all relaxed). I cooked for the German and cleaned the apartment (which caused my back to ache and I hit my head on the ceiling when pulling out the vacuum cleaner). Relaxing should not be this much work.
So I decided to engage in a little bit of retail therapy. What's the point in working like a maniac, if I cannot spend some money? So, I bought some new glasses today.

A Sticky Situation
Now, however, I realize just the sticky situation that everyone is in. First, let's take the "winners." The Dems "won" yesterday because they focused on America's growing dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq. Unfortunately, the U.S. will not be leaving Iraq any time soon. To pull up and move out would result in all out civil war. Disengaging is going to take a little finesse, something this administration has not shown much of. Furthermore, foreign policy is the domain of the executive and the legislative can really only use its oversight powers. Although the impulse is there to haul people before committees and point fingers and say, "I told you so," the Dems really need to fight that urge. It would be unproductive and is not the solution to the problem before us.
The Dems have a domestic agenda, too, including health care, education and raising the minimum wage. However, if the Senate remains Republican or 50 /50, much of what the Dems want to do will get stuck before it even gets off the ground. Thus, the Dems face a potentially major problem in 2008: What have they done for 2 years?
The Executive isn't exactly doin' a little dance or gettin' down tonight, either. I just watched Bush's comments and press conference. Boy, oh, boy! I have never seen him look that uncomfortable or speak that quickly. Frankly, he looked . . . pissed. He mentioned wanting to reach across the aisle and work with Dems on the important "issues," like education. That would be great if he (a) had not said the exact same thing 2 years ago and (b) cut federal funding for college loans while simultaneously increasing interest rates on student loans.
In another not so shocking moment, W announced the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld. Seems that Don only wants to play if he can set the rules and do what he wants. Now that he will not have free reign, he is taking his toys and going home. Well, that is if the oversight committees don't get him.
So both parties are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Maybe, just maybe, they might actually play nice in order to get something done. Political parties in Germany would tell them to play nice. After all, there CDU and SPD have had to live with the same situation for a year now. Sadly, making your enemy your friend is not always that easy, but here's hoping.

Go Vote! Do it Now!
I was provoked to post because it is a political scientist's favorite holiday: Election Day. For those of those in Europe who do not have the privilege of watching Fox News (which, honestly, really just makes me want to hurl), we are stuck with CNN to see what happens on the other side of the pond. I wish they would switch to the Atlanta office because the London bureau is well . . . not gettin' the job done.
This morning I was treated to the "historical evidence that may be hard to deny." What on earth does this mean? I think my overly caffeinated reporter was talking about how the party in power (i.e. in the White House) tends to lose seats in mid-term elections. This is true. Unfortunately, he kept going on and on about it, even bringing up the fun tid-bit that the Republicans lost 77 seats in 1922 during Warren G. Harding's mid-term election. Although fascinating, I am not sure that this fact will actually influence anyone's decision today. Except mine . . . to get my BBC back.
Anyway, I am following all the election news via the internet. I am a political junkie. I cannot help myself. There are not only important legislative races, but also a host of ballot initiatives, including one in South Dakota to overturn the most restrictive abortion bill ever passed.
I was listening to some very scary Republican radio ads on the internet about how the Democrats want to legalize many illegal immigrants in the U.S. It dawned on me that there are thousands of people who live in the U.S. and pay taxes (yes, they pay taxes, it is called sales tax and can often be higher than an income tax!) but are not allowed to vote. I live 3000 miles away and I get reminders to send in my absentee ballot.
When I was in the shower this morning, I started thinking about what is a "polity." A polity is the political organization of a group. It defines who are the citizens, the participants. Who is in and who is out. Often there are many people who live in a polity but are not legal recognized. They have no voice in the laws that confine their movements or the taxes they pay. On the one hand, there have to be such restrictions. But how do we decide what is right and who belongs? I belong to this polity - Cburg - and I am not allowed to participate in the decision making around me.
While this realization bothered me for awhile, I also began to think, "What is political action?" Do I have to vote to be political? Are there other things I can do? Absolutely! Only through actions like writing to a newspaper, speaking to members of the community, demonstrating, and dare I say it, blogging, can I make my voice heard. Although I would like to vote here in Germany, I do not want to give up my membership in my other polity - the U.S. Therefore, I will have to practice other forms of political action, just like so many immigrants that live in the U.S. I am not sure which form is the most effective, though. There may be some trial and error involved.
I know, you maybe a little confused by this rambling, but elections make me giddy. (Also the idea of polity and indirect political action was going to be my second book before I decided to drop out of academia, but as you can tell, I still think about it a lot.)
I am now going to go have a glass of wine and hope that the election of 1922 repeats itself.

In Spiceworks 5.0 I have had two or three workstations that have had complete inventories pulled by Spiceworks show up with all software uninstalled followed shortly by all software show as alert for new software installed. Any suggestions related to how this can be approached to determine what is triggering this unusual behavior.
This topic was created during version 5.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

I had similar results when I imaged a new workstation for a user and named it the same as their old one. Basically at one point it showed all the applications that were different being uninstalled and reinstalled, in the next few days the hardware changed to the latest one as well.
Could something similar possibly be happening? Is it possible you have multiple workstations with the same name or could someone have received a new workstations or a new image that caused all the differences?
Something to look into...
Dec 9, 2010 at 9:44 UTC
I do not think this is the case for my errors even though I image some computers through a recent Fog server installation. I avoid what I believe is your problem by not connecting to the network with my image PC's until I am able to change computer name and computer owner manually.
Dec 15, 2010 at 10:09 UTC
I have noticed that it is the same one or two workstations that will randomly indicate that all software is uninstalled then on next scan indicate that all software is new install.
Dec 16, 2010 at 7:49 UTC
So it's safe to assume that when you rename your machines after reimaging it's not the same name as an existing inventory item in Spiceworks?
Dec 16, 2010 at 9:49 UTC
That is correct.

Has Anyone Tried The Trans Fat Free Sweetexz High Ratio?
Decorating By giraffe11 Updated 5 Apr 2010 , 12:59am by hollylikescake
I am interested in using it for my frosting. I prefer high ratio, but I would really like to avoid trans fats if it doesn't make a terrible difference.
Wow. I'm kind of surprised that no one has tried it. I can only find it available in 50 lb quantities, so I was hoping someone had tried it before I got 50 lbs! But maybe I'll just go ahead and bite the bullet. It probably can't be any worse than trans-fat free Crisco. Then I can report back and fill everyone else in.
I use sweetex exclusively and love it, but it's packaged by the cake supply shop and I don't know if it's trans-fat free or not. Are there two different options available (regular and trans-fat free)?
Most professional shortenings DO have both versions available.
Grr, I posted about this before! JanH gave me a resource that had trans fat free shortening in a smaller quantity. I dont think it was Sweetex brand, but it was smaller than 50 lbs
I have been using it for a while. It's the only hi ratio my local supplier carries. It is adequate. I don't think it is quite as stable as the original, but better than Crisco.
The Baker's Kitchen sells sweetex in smaller quantities, and I saw they had the trans-free stuff. (It's not called sweetex because of some sort of repackaging politics, but it is the same stuff). I haven't tried it though because I was too scared. Would love to know if there's much of a difference.
Well, the entire debate over ANY trans-fat-free shortening has been that without the trans fats, American decorator buttercreams tend to be sloppy messes that melt off cakes at the slightest provocation.
Hi ratio shortening, of any sort, allows for adding more liquid into something and to have that liquid stay in suspension better--BUT, apparently without the trans-fats, icings don't have the grip and staying power enough to fight gravity very well.................
I'm sticking with my regular Sweetex and praying that they keep producing it...........or else I'll have to find a way to make my own black market trans-fats..........
Good point Rae, although cake decorating has been around since long before shortening was introduced; according to Wikipedia, the hydrogenization (uh, is that the right word?) process was not discovered until the 1920's. Then again...do y'all recall what they used instead of shortening? It's ok, I'll wait...
I thought high-ratio meant shortening with trans fat? I've been using crisco (50/50 with butter) because I just can't bring myself to put the trans-fat in - sorry, but I have always been one of those crazy health nuts. Getting me to use shortening at all is such a stretch for me. I got into baking before I got into decorating because I wanted to controll the ingredients that went into what we ate.
All that to say - if there is such a thing as a high ratio shortening that is trans fat free - please tell me.

College World Series
Stanford vs. Rice: A Viewer's Guide
While it won't affect play on the field, there's an added bonus in the identity of the two teams involved. As college baseball has become increasingly popular -- this year's postseason tournament will most likely net over $3 million for the first time -- there's been an increasing risk of footballitis, the failure of the balancing act that results from the odd state of having big-money sports programs existing in conjunction with institutions of higher learning. The last two national champions, Texas and Miami, have been put on probation this year due to rules violations by assistant coaches, although in the Texas case, the punishment was merely a slap on the wrist. Stanford and Rice, on the other hand, while not the mythical pure ivory towers, are both considered by most measures to be among the top academic institutions in the nation, and their sports teams are required to meet the same admissions and academic standards as the rest of the student body. In Stanford's case, the baseball players are actually strongly encouraged to get ahead in their coursework so that they'll be closer to graduation if they leave after being drafted after their junior years. It's a fairly safe bet that we won't see a third straight national champion in need of investigation.
Overall, these two teams should be extremely well-matched. In my rating system, Rice and Cal State Fullerton have swapped back and forth all year for the top spot, but Stanford has been steadily closing the gap for the last couple of months. For the last month, all three have been well within the margin of error of the ratings, so Rice and Stanford under neutral conditions fall into the "play 99 and somebody will win 50" category.
These aren't quite neutral conditions, though. Rice swept through their side of the bracket, so they've only played three games in Omaha so far. Stanford, on the other hand, lost an early game to Fullerton and had to battle back through the loser's bracket -- they've played five games including a ten-inning thriller with Fullerton on Thursday night. Rice has had time to set up their rotation nicely, while the Cardinal may have to shuffle a bit. This is the first year of the format, of course, so we don't have any experience to tell us how big an advantage that will be.
Game 1 is Saturday night at 7:00 EDT, with Game 2 at 2:30 Sunday and Game 3 at 7:00 Monday night if needed, all on ESPN.

I've always wanted to know why people think black women are unattractive.
They say white or Asian women are better looking. They also point out that every black woman is fat, we all have big noses and lips.
but if a white woman had big lips and ass, she's beautiful?
Is there anyone on here that realizes, that not all black women look the same? that we have different nose shapes, lip thickness/thinness, some of us are very skinny, we come in different shades of brown, to almost white. we can have blue, green, Grey, and hazel colored eyes.
so why do people have this preconceived notion that we all look the same?
Most Helpful Guy
I've noticed less variety in the black women I've personally seen, than that of the white women I've seen, but I wouldn't go as far as to say, even those I have seen, look very similar. We all share common traits, depending on our origins, that can't be denied, but it doesn't mean we are carbon copies in the least. I've seen many black women that look better than many white women, and vice versa, I tend to take these things on an individual basis when possible.11|00|0

Environmental Factors Paper
Toyota is one of the world's leading car manufacturing companies which produce and market more than 8 million cars every year. It has a global presence with manufacturing units in more than 27 countries and vehicles sold in more than 170 countries and regions (Toyota, 2010). This paper discusses how various environmental factors affect the marketing decisions of Toyota. Influence of global economic interdependence and the impact of trade practices and agreements It is quite important that Toyota understand the importance of economic interdependence and the impact of trade practices since the current economic situation calls all the countries in the world to be highly interdependent. Toyota can efficiently procure the vehicle parts from specific countries and strategically increase the market share in the countries where they do business. On May 2009, Toyota reported a record loss of $4.2 billion due to the global financial crisis. This shows that the performance of the firm is highly related to global economic conditions. Differences in tariffs, taxes and trade agreements between different countries need to be considered while pricing the products. A high import duty will make a country less attractive to do business with. ...

Sustainable Operations Paper
Soon companies started realizing that profits and profitability are not the only factors of long term development but future of the people and the planet are also key elements for sustainable operations. Hence, these new objectives were classified as the triple bottom line (3BL) which included the three P's of people, profit and planet. After all the recent developments and expansions, people have started to ask for more than mere salaries and profits. They now emphasize on factors like improved performance on environmental, health and safety issues. So now Wal-Mart has to make the decision...

Macarrones Con Crema Y Queso – Mexican Macaroni and Cheese
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by Julesong
Rich and smoky mac and cheese, adapted from Gourmet magazine, February 2005.
Top Review by Cook D
Had some queso fresco to use up so tried this recipe. It hit the spot and was easy to prepare. I toned down the heat by using a mariachi pepper instead of the serrano and omitted the salt due to dietary restrictions. Smooth and creamy sauce. Would definitely make again.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 fresh poblano chiles (about 3/4 lb)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup white onion, strips
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 fresh serrano chili, minced, including seeds (seeds can be optional, if you prefer)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1⁄2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- 6 ounces cavatappi pasta or 6 ounces penne pasta
- 2⁄3 cup Mexican crema or 2⁄3 cup creme fraiche
- 4 ounces queso fresco or 4 ounces mild feta, crumbled
Directions See How It's Made
- First, you want to roast the poblanos: you can either do this over the flame on a gas stove until skins are blistered and charred, or you can broil them (turning occasionally) until charred on all sides.
- Place hot poblanos in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, letting them steam for 10 minutes.
- Peel or rub off the charred skins and discard stems, seeds, and ribs (do not rinse peppers under water).
- Cut roasted poblanos into 1/4-inch thick strips; set aside.
- In a large heavy skillet melt together the butter and oil over medium low heat, then sauté the onion strips and salt, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the onion is browning, begin cooking the pasta by adding it to a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes; reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain remaining and set aside.
- To the sautéed onion add the serrano, garlic, oregano, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Increase temperature to high, then add the drained pasta, reserved pasta cooking water, the crema, and the onion mixture, and cook, stirring, until the pasta is well coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the roasted poblano strips, stir well, then add the queso fresco cheese and toss.
- Pour onto platter and serve immediately.
- Note: cavatappi pasta is a short s-shaped pasta tube that resembles a small corkscrew.

Greenbelt Harvest Picnic
- Christie Lake Conservation Area
- Near Dundas, Ont., on Saturday
Daniel Lanois knows his way around a recording studio like few other people on this planet, having produced career-changing records for Bob Dylan, U2, Emmylou Harris and others. Outdoors, Lanois's production record is not nearly so deep, which makes the success of his first Greenbelt Harvest Picnic all the more remarkable.
The one-day event took place on a perfect day in a perfect spot: a wide open green space surrounded by trees near Christie Lake, in a conservation area a few minutes' drive from Lanois's hometown of Hamilton. Lanois and his co-producer Jean-Paul Gauthier wanted the festival to celebrate the natural beauty of Steeltown's rural backyard, to promote local food from small farm producers and to show off the talents of some of Lanois's friends, including Emmylou Harris, Ray LaMontagne, Sarah Harmer and Gord Downie.
The music ran from noon till night, as about 5,000 people picnicked, sampled organic produce, relaxed on the grass and twined flowers through their hair (a one-day craze inspired by a posey-seller among the farm tables). At dusk, small Asian paper lanterns rose from behind the crowd high into the sky and drifted west, glowing orange over their own small, elevating fires.
Lanois's smarts as a golden-eared studio guy were evident the second you walked on the field. This festival had the best amplified sound I've ever heard at an outdoor event – a clean, natural, rich sound from top to bottom. It was equally good from close-up and far away, no matter who was playing.
Lanois took the stage at around 7 p.m., with a reddish light creeping into the sky. Something about the scene, perhaps, put him into a contemplative mood, to judge from the long, ruminative guitar jam he slipped into during his very first number, and again during the bluesy lovesong, Fire. The fine-grained, high-distortion guitar sound of his recent Le Noise sessions with Neil Young was much in evidence. A turn at pedal steel brought an even more introspective feeling to his performance with bassist Jim Wilson and drummer Steve Nistor.
It was somewhat jarring, in this context, to see a couple of burlesque dancers, dressed as for the Rio carnival in string bikinis and massive coloured feathers, writhing through part of this set. They also appeared during the brief jams Lanois played between sets under a small canopy in mid-field.
His set segued straight into Harris's, as he and his colleagues played backup to songs such as Wrecking Ball and Orphan Girl, both from the Lanois-produced Wrecking Ball album that gave Harris new prominence and a new direction in the mid-nineties. Her strong plaintive voice, the sound of a vulnerable survivor, drove straight for the heart.
Ray LaMontagne came on after night had fallen, a lone figure with an acoustic guitar, strumming and howling through a performance of Burn that really did seem to set something to aflame. This New Hampshire musician has a high-lying, husky voice that brings some of the feeling of classic soul music to his hand-hewn original folk songs. He writes hard and plays for keeps, and if some of what he did sounded like sixties folk redux – Beg Steal or Borrow could almost be a Joni Mitchell song – he made it sound fresh and even dangerous. His ferocious performance of Repo Man (like most of the set, played with his Pariah Dogs band) felt like something you might hear in a tough Chicago blues joint, not at a rural campfire.
Lanois, who also played some flavourful pedal-steel backings for LaMontagne, said from the stage that he'd like to make this festival an annual event. The food providers I spoke with seconded that motion, and the crowd seemed to agree. The Greenbelt Harvest Picnic is off to a great start, and will be even better when it solves a small lighting problem. The grounds got mighty dark after the sun went down. I sometimes had to depend on the glow of people's cell phones to avoid stepping on anyone. In another place, with a less benign and sedentary crowd, it could have been a security nightmare.
Portions of Saturday's show were recorded by CBC Radio, for later broadcast on Canada Live.Report Typo/Error

Hi, I cloned our previous form to use, but made a some changes to fields. I put the new link (secure) on the website. I tested it by filling in bogus info, except for email. I received the correct thank you page after submitting. Then I checked the notification email and the autoresponder email (copy of form entries). These two do not show the same fields as the new form, the changes I made to the form. I added a field, shorts size - text box, which does not show at all on the notification email and the autoresponder email doesn't show the shirt size answer. There are a couple others as well. Please help.
thank you

Hello strongtowerranch,
When you edit your form's notification, it becomes dirty. That means after editing the notification alert, any fields/question you add/remove in your form will not be added/removed automatically in your notification and needs to be done manually.
You must have edited your notification email template and then added the fields you have mentioned in your question above. That is the reason why you do not see these fields in your notification emails.

Yay! It worked and was easy. Thank you.
So, does this mean that every time I make an addition to a field, I have to delete these emails and make new ones?
I added an option/choice to a couple of fields.
It means that if you create an email notification and if you don't edit it, it will automatically update. So no need to create new notification email every time you edit (add/remove fields) your form. But if you add/remove fields from the notification or other edits, it will stop automatically updating and in this case it is necessary for you to create a new one every time you add/remove fields to your form.
