WALNUT CREEK — Despite misgivings from some members, the City Council have approved a $62,000 loan to the Walnut Creek Downtown Business Association to help pay for the promotional "re-branding" of downtown, and advance a possible formation of a property-based improvement district.
The improvement district, if approved by property owners, would be a source of funding for the business association. As its first step, the business association has hired a consulting firm, and is studying the feasibility of the improvement district and discussing with property owners whether they would support it. The district would assess a yearly fee on downtown businesses that would fund the business association's re-branding and downtown improvement projects.
Phase II for the improvement district includes analyzing an opinion survey of all downtown business owners, and then starting a petition process. If more than 50 percent of those property owners — their votes weighted according to how much property they own — sign the petition, then a ballot would be sent to downtown property owners. The association hopes to put the improvement district's formation to a vote this year.
Mayor Cindy Silva and Mayor Pro Tem Kristina Lawson both expressed concern at last week's vote, saying the city isn't usually in the business of giving out loans. Before they voted for the proposed loan, Silva and Lawson requested that the loan interest rate not be locked at 1 percent, but tied to the market rate. Also, Lawson requested that the mayor — not the city manager — be able to review the final loan documents and sign off on the terms. Silva and Lawson also asked that the terms of default be clearly defined before the mayor signs the paperwork.
The council voted unanimously for the proposal after the amendments were made.
"I think it's imperative that we once and for all find out whether the property owners of downtown are able to come together in a substantive way on their economic future," Silva said.
Supporters of an improvement district in Walnut Creek point to success stories such as Oakland's Temescal district, where funds from an improvement district helped spark business and residential revitalization efforts in 2004. Oakland saw a dramatic increase in sales tax receipts from that district from 2004 to 2008.
The mission statement of the Walnut Creek Downtown Business Association is to work with its members, partners, and community to promote and enhance downtown business vitality. In addition to the re-branding effort, the association also helps put on festivals and seasonal events such as downtown trick-or-treat and Walnut Creek on Ice.
The council also voted to reallocate $38,000 of unused funding from a previous agreement to the association. Those funds will help implement some of the association's downtown branding efforts.

Two dead in crash between car and truck on Pacific Highway near Kempsey
An 11-year-old girl is one of two people who have been killed in a crash between a car and a furniture truck on the Pacific Highway near Kempsey on the NSW mid north coast.
Police said the girl and a 40-year-old woman who was driving their Hyundai sedan died at the scene between Kundabung and the Cooperabung Range, about 25 kilometres south of Kempsey, at 5.15am on Friday. The pair are believed to be a mother and daughter.
Three other people have been taken to hospital, including the truck driver, who suffered serious head injuries, a NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said.
Police said four people were in the sedan driving south on the Pacific Highway when their vehicle and a north-bound furniture truck collided.
The impact killed the driver of the Hyundai and the girl, who was sitting behind the driver.
Two other passengers, a 47-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl, were injured and have been taken to Port Macquarie Base Hospital.
Police said all of those travelling in the Hyundai were related.
The truck driver was trapped in his rig for an hour before emergency service workers freed him.
He was flown to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.
Crash investigators initially closed the Pacific Highway in both directions at Kundabung, before one lane was re-opened to traffic just before 10am.
A Transport Management Centre spokeswoman said traffic was still "heavy in the area and motorists are experiencing significant delays".
"All diversions have been lifted however motorists are still advised to travel via the New England Highway as an alternative," she said.
Friday morning's crash occurred a day after another horrific accident involving a truck and two cars in Victoria near the border with NSW.
Three people, including a mother and her young son, were killed in that crash in which the trailer of a BP petrol tanker became detached and rolled on to a car near Wodonga on Thursday morning.
Victoria Police said those who died were a woman, 67, from Yackandandah, in one car and a woman, 33, and her four-year-old son, from Allan's Flat, in a second vehicle.
Police believe the tanker was travelling south and the trailer became detached as the vehicle rounded a left-hand bend.
BP has taken its entire tanker fleet off Australian roads following the accident.

Practically everyone has been taking their mobile phones to work since they infiltrated our lives a few decades ago. Initially they stayed in our coat pockets or bags, or rested quietly on our desks, but they've since evolved beyond a means for simple voice or text conversations. Back then our mobile phones were personal and not for work. But as the devices themselves have changed, times have changed as well.
With people now carrying not just one, but often multiple Internet-enabled devices, mobile now has serious implications for business — both for managed services providers (MSPs) and their small business customers. Often it can be more convenient to work on a tablet or smartphone than a laptop; I myself spend far more time on my smartphone than I do my laptop. And the amount of data these mobile devices holds is substantial; it is, after all, a high-powered computer in a small form factor. The rapid adoption of personal devices at work, known as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), has blurred the line between home and work use.

text: Putnam plants find job skills lacking in the area By Kate White September 9, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Some Putnam County employers say they're having a hard time finding suitable employees.At Nippon Thermostat, spokeswoman Shizue York said her company has found only one in 10 applicants is able to correctly answer a simple math question on the pre-employment exam.Most companies in Putnam County are hiring, said Gary Walton, director of the Putnam Development Authority, but it's been a challenge.Putnam has the third lowest percentage of unemployed residents in the state -- 5.4 percent, according to July information provided by the U.S. Department of Labor.Walton hopes that number, down from 6.7 percent in July 2011, will continue to drop, and expects it to, but is concerned about the available workforce."The biggest problem is finding people to work. [Young people] today want to start out at the top," Walton said. "I've heard people say they didn't want to work at Toyota, because you go in as a temporary employee while they decide whether or not to keep you."To try and weed out unsatisfactory job performance, many companies are hiring workers on a temporary basis, many times with less pay and benefits, to get an idea if they are reliable and can handle the workload. Toyota and two of its nearby parts suppliers, Nippon Thermostat and Diamond Electric, among others, first hire on a preliminary basis to see if an employee will show up for work and can catch on to required duties.Nippon Thermostat recently announced it would double the size of its plant in Fraziers Bottom and create 30 jobs. The company, which makes automotive thermostats, will hire someone on a temporary, three-month basis before determining whether or not to keep them on the job."Some people can't survive three months," York said.Currently, only about half of the newly hired temporary workers are able to secure full-time employment, she said. "I know we've had issues ourselves for the last year or so in finding good people ... or at least people who really want to work," Dave Bagnall, director of community affairs for Diamond Electric in Eleanor, said in an email."We hire temporary people too, with the idea that they could move into full-time employment. Our turnover rate has been extremely high with that group of people."Amy Hartman, human resources manager at Diamond, said hiring temporary workers has saved the company money."In 60 days, they'll get an increase and some benefits, and 90 days later is when they can become a regular full-time employee," she said. Her company, like others, has had problems finding people who will come to work every day, Hartman said."Many potential employees will come to work a couple weeks and then leave," Hartman said.Putnam County school officials have met with local business leaders because of concerns about the increasing workforce needed in the area, and the school system has incorporated career readiness skills into its regular curriculum.Business leaders regularly attend meetings at the county career and technical school, where classes are sometimes closed because of demand. Also, this year, for the first time, things like work ethic and communication skills count as part of student's grades.In March, U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., met with officials from Japanese companies from around the state who voiced concerns over the workforce's lack of skills in science, engineering and math.York noted that while math and science skills are needed, especially in West Virginia, Nippon would still take workers with less experience and education -- as long as they're willing to work. "We still hire them, but they can't do certain jobs because of it," she said.Reach Kate White at email@example.com or 304-348-1723.

Topic: my dad
I have been on this website almost 3 years when my dad was diagnosed with CC. It is with heartfelt grief that I share that my dad lost his fight a week ago today. He was so brave and positive. We had him at home and he passed with his family at his side.He beat the odds of survival time and for that I am grateful. It still does not take the pain away of the loss of this special man. I love you dad. You remain my hero. If I can be half the person you were, I will succeed in life. I remain a daddy's girl forever.♥

*As originally published in the Weekly Dig.
by Pink Lady
LUPEC ladies love our whiskey. And our whisky. (No, it's not a typo: the spelling tells reflects the nationality of the spirit.) And we know, with its myriad rules nuances, the category can be confusing for the cocktail neophyte. In light of this, we offer you a whisk(e)y primer in several parts, turning our attention this week to rye.
Whiskey, in broad strokes, is grain spirit aged long enough in oak to take on characteristics of the barrel. Rye whiskey takes its name from main ingredient, rye, which by law must compose 51% of the grain in the mashbill. Rye is aged in charred, new American oak barrels like its corn-based cousins, bourbon and Tennessee whiskey, but has a lighter, and more peppery character. When considering the basic differences, think bread; as DrinkBoy.com founder Robert Hess says, "I'd never have a Rueben sandwich on cornbread."
Rye whiskey was the favored spirit of colonial America, and was first made stateside by Scots-Irish immigrants who imported the grain. Despite the harsh Northeastern climate, hardy rye flourished, making it a perfect go-to ingredient for early American hooch.
Prohibition took a nasty toll on the American whiskey industry, and rye in particular had a tough time bouncing back. Even mainstream brands were difficult to find until recently. As cocktail nerds learned that classics like the Manhattan were originally prepared with rye, the spirit has surged back to in popularity. Brands like Old Overholt, Jim Beam and Sazerac are more common on back bars, and new interpretations of the category, like (ri)1 have even arrived, marketed as "ultra premium" brands positioned to win over vodka drinkers.
Rye also happens to be the base spirit for many New Orleans classics, which we are copiously imbibing at Tales of the Cocktail at present. Should you like to do the same, try one of these.
.75 oz. rye whiskey
.75 oz. Benedictine
.75 oz. sweet vermouth
3 dashes Herbsaint
3 dashes Peychaud's bitters
Stir with cracked ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.

The campaign is a project of the League of California Cities and the California City Management Foundation, organizers said.
"In the short time we have been a city, we have accomplished a lot," Mayor Leon Garcia said. "We appreciate the opportunity to show others the great things our city has accomplished and the amenities we can offer to residents, visitors and businesses alike."
The city's profile is accessible at www.strongcitiesstrongstate.com/city/american-canyon.
American Canyon's profile highlights:
* Pride in its community spirit, culturally diverse environment and the beauty of the wetlands and open space;
* Explosive growth in the last decade and how it's been managed;
* Testimonials from several segments of the community.
The campaign's goal is to promote the innovation and experience of local officials in delivering vital services even as state leaders struggle with fundamental issues of governance. It seeks to show cities as "vital, necessary and equal partners in building a better California," organizers said.
The Strong Cities | Strong State campaign plans to highlight all California's cities over the next 18 months. Profiles include photos, video and other media explaining how each has been working to provide essential services and elevate the quality life of its residents.

After trying out Samsung's Galaxy Gear, the Pebble smartwatch and the Fitbit Force exercise band, I'm a bit more bullish about smartwatches, even though these devices are still quite limited in what they can do.
For me, the most useful app so far has been the pedometer that's built into the Galaxy Gear and the Fitbit. Pebble doesn't currently offer a native pedometer app. It does work with some fitness apps, but you have to have your phone with you to use them. There should be plenty of apps for the Pebble once the company's soon-to-be launched app store is a reality, and over time, I'm convinced these types of devices will become indispensable.
The Galaxy Gear, introduced in September at the IFA tech show in Berlin, is a stylish watch that works with only a small number of Samsung phones and tablets, which limits it appeal. I tested a Galaxy Gear watch that was loaned to me by AT&T, along with a compatible Samsung Galaxy 3 smartphone.
The watch, with its steel rim and 1.6 inch color AMOLED display, is attractive as large watches go. And the screen is easy to view, except in bright sunlight. It's comfortable to wear, and Samsung did an OK job making the controls manageable for such a small device.
It comes with a standard micro-USB cord and a proprietary charging cradle. Actually, all three watches I tested have proprietary chargers or cables. I wish they could just connect via a standard micro-USB cable, but perhaps that connector is just a little too big for these watches.
Another issue with all the smartwatches is battery life. Depending on usage, you'll get from one to a few days between charges, which is not much compared to the years I get from the coin-like battery in my not-so-smart watch. Basically, it means carrying the charger with you when you travel, unless it's a really quick trip.
While there are additional apps you can download, the built-in apps are limited. There's a still and video camera app, but the quality from the watch's 1.9 megapixel built-in camera is nothing to get excited about, especially since anyone wearing it is also carrying around a Samsung smartphone with a much better camera.
You can also use the watch to make and receive calls, but the quality isn't nearly as good as it is with the phone. Still, if your phone is deep in your pocket or in a bag or purse, there is something to be said for being able to see who's calling and even answer the call right from your wrist.
Both the Pebble watch and the Samsung Galaxy Gear will notify you and let you read the contents when you get an email or text message. I get a lot of email and most of them are far from urgent, so being informed in real-time that Sears is having a sale is hardly a compelling reason to look at my watch. Text messages tend to be more personal and urgent, so I'm OK with that. And I kind of like the idea that you can figure out who's calling without having to look at your phone. I said "kind of like" because — for me, at least — having to take my phone out of my pocket is not that big a deal. These devices have to do more than just solve that "problem" before they have mass appeal.
Of these watches, the one I find myself wearing most is the $150 Fitbit Force, even though it's the least stylish and, theoretically, the least versatile. Fitbit doesn't call itself a smartwatch: it's only major function besides displaying the time of day is to track your footsteps and calculate how many miles you've walked or run and how many calories you've burned so far that day. It can't automatically track other activities, such as cycling, indoor aerobics or swimming. You can manually log those exercises in the Fitbit app, but that's no big deal since there are plenty of free apps that let you manually log exercise and food intake.
One nice feature is that it works with Lose It, the app and website I use to track my food intake and exercise. Fitbit is expected to update the device's software so that it can notify you if a call comes in but, unlike the Samsung watch and the Pebble, you can't download additional apps.
Despite their limitations, I remain bullish about smartwatches because I can see potential, especially if Apple jumps into the fray with a watch that's more stylish and offers more functionality and a robust app store. Someday, I expect these watches to track our activities as well as blood pressure and other vital signs, serve as a TV remote and allow us to start our cars and unlock your front doors. In the mean time, they're interesting gadgets for those of us who don't mind living on the "bleeding edge" of technology.

deGrom hit hard as Mets drop opener in St. Louis
Rookie righty allows six runs on 12 hits over 4 1/3 innings to Cards
ST. LOUIS -- Hours before Monday's series opener against the Cardinals, Mets manager Terry Collins sat in his office, answering myriad questions about his starting lineup. The pitcher was batting eighth -- that was weird. Curtis Granderson hit leadoff for the second straight game. Eric Young Jr. was back in the lineup after missing serious time with a hamstring strain.
Collins strategized, then defended his moves in public. Yet as it turned out, none of them mattered. Hours later, starting pitching was the Mets' undoing in a 6-2 loss to the Cards at Busch Stadium.
"I just look at how many balls were hit hard tonight," said Mets rookie starter Jacob deGrom. "I didn't really make pitches when I needed to."
deGrom, whose 0-3 record coming into the game belied his string of strong performances, was the primary culprit in this one. Shelling out a career-high 12 hits over 4 1/3 innings, deGrom could not find a way to retire the Cardinals with any consistency, particularly during a four-run rally in the fifth. Though he stuck to his pregame strategy of throwing more changeups, he left too many of them up in the strike zone by his own estimation.
After deGrom struck out Matt Carpenter to open the fifth inning, six consecutive Cardinals batters reached base safely against him. Hits by Matt Holliday, Allen Craig, Matt Adams and Jhonny Peralta all plated runs, with Peralta's one-out single finally chasing deGrom. The rookie also gave up stray runs in the first and third innings, inflating his ERA by more than a full run.
"You've got to make pitches against a team as good as they are," Collins said.
The Mets' newfangled lineup was no match for that sort of offensive attack. Though Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez was on a strict pitch count of 50-60, he gave up just one run -- a Granderson sacrifice fly -- in four innings. Rookie Nick Greenwood took it from there in his big league debut, silencing the Mets into the eighth.
"You can't really prepare yourself for something like that, especially in St. Louis with a packed crowd and you're coming in and they're all standing for you," Greenwood said. "The first guy, Granderson, I grew up a Yankees fan and it was just kind of a surreal moment realizing I was facing Curtis Granderson. After that, the emotions, you've got to put them away and go after them."
Pinch-hitter Chris Young finally snapped Greenwood's spell in the eighth inning, singling to score Daniel Murphy. But a tag team of Cardinals relievers ended that threat, ensuring Greenwood's first big league victory.
For the Mets, batting the pitcher eighth was something that Collins tinkered with in Spring Training, only to abandon. Yet with his team desperate for runs -- they came into the game ranked 23rd in the Majors in runs scored, 22nd in on-base percentage and 29th in slugging -- Collins was willing to try it again.
It was just the latest in a series of minor experiments that have yet to reach the roots of New York's offensive problems. Throughout the first two and a half months of this season, Collins has tried more than a half-dozen different players out at leadoff. He has tinkered with platoons, given his sluggers green lights on 3-0 pitches and double-switched with abandon.
None of it has worked. The Mets have struggled to score runs with even a modicum of consistency. Monday, facing the reigning National League-champion Cardinals, they struggled to do much of anything at all.
"You look at their lineup, and top to bottom, they have a good lineup," third baseman David Wright said of the Cardinals. "You can't have Murph or Grandy or whoever be the only guy or two guys hitting in the lineup to be successful. You've got to have a strong lineup in case you do have one, two, three guys who get cold and go through the inevitable ups and downs of the season. You need top to bottom to be able to lengthen a lineup out, and lately we just have too many guys cold at the same time."

A new discussion board experience is coming this September!
After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
Has anyone had success with acupuncture?
While I have not done this myself I know of people who have had success with both chronic and acute pain. I believe it would be worth a try and it certainly won't hurt anything.
On this topic, is your husband on any oral pain medications and if so what is he taking? And please tell us a little more about what he has and where he is being treated. We may have even more information for you.
Hi there,
My dad never used this but did use reiki for relaxation. Some links for you that I hope wil be of interest.

Hope some of these are of use to you and good luck with it all.
Best wishes,
Kris, my husband was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma on August 2 and is being treated at MD Anderson. It had metastasized to his sternum so in January they removed half his liver and most of his sternum, but his margins weren't clean. The gen/cis that he'd had success with before surgery didn't work after, and it spread to his lungs, hip, and spread in his remaining sternum and liver. Dr Javle put him on FOLFIRINOX but, after one treatment, a clinical trial came open that Dr J felt would be of better benefit. I posted this trial on the Clinical Studies part of these discussion boards; it is Phase II, Single Arm Study of BGJ398 in Patients With Advanced Cholangiocarcinoma. He will begin this on July 23.
He had been on Oxycotin & Oxycodone but they weren't doing the job, so yesterday they switched him to methadone w hydromorphone for breakthrough pain. He also was just put on Lyrica for pain remaining from the surgery. Granted, he just started these new meds, but after 24 hrs he doesn't feel any better.
The pain has really impacted his quality of life, of which he feels he has none. We'll continue working w the pain mgt docs at MDA, but I'm anxious to move forward with other methods too to help him feel better.
Some more links for you on pain, hope they are of use and hoping as well that your husbands pain can be managed. Getting pain controlled is of the utmost importance I would argue.

Anyone just feel an earthquake? Felt like an explosion?
Didn't feel anything here between New Castle and Muncie.
I thought a car maybe hit the building I was in, it was one like shift on impact up here in Carmel. Maybe it wasn't an Earthquake.
Must be an isolated incident. I work in Carmel, and I felt nothing.
What building are you in, if you don't mind me asking?
Local radio station WMDH says 4.2 magnitude earthquake centered up by Kokomo. Wow.
Up by the Meijer at Meridian and West Carmel Drive.
my whole house was shaking in Anderson. It was kinda scary.
Mods, you can move or delete this. Was just looking for some confirmation on what was going on. Thanks,
Felt it and heard it in the Castleton area this morning.
I too, wanted to do this!
Yay, we don't know what we're doing as a franchise! thanks PG!
Wow i actually did feel this in Fort Wayne.
Felt it out here.
I think it was a sound as if thousands of Pacer fans suddenly cried out and were silenced.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I felt it but it lasted a few seconds at first I thought it was a part of my dream which I ended up forgetting after that.
I felt it here in Fort Wayne as well.
I slept through it...
I slept through it. My mom (New Castle) said she definitely felt it. Said it was more like one big boom (like an explosion) than a series of tremors.
I think I felt it (Not sure exactly. I was sort of in a trance from sleeping). I thought it was thunder, but it wasn't storming out.
I'm on the south edge of Indy.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh ................ I was having sex when it happened and right now, she thinks I'm a god.
Don't want to spoil that image she has -------- ya know ??
Better hope for a lot more earthquakes... or you're gonna have to quit sex with her while you're ahead!
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

ALLEGAN, Mich. Perrigo's current human resources director will assume the role of SAP HCM HR program manager, the company announced Tuesday.
In her new role, Fink will be responsible for the transition of global human resources functions to the SAP Human Capital Management system. She will partner directly with the IT&S team on implementation, and with the larger business to optimize the system business benefits.
Since joining Perrigo in 2001, Fink has taken developmental assignments in operations, packaging, continuous improvement and human sesources before being promoted to human resources director at Perrigo's New York site in Bronx, N.Y. Fink will divide her time between her new role and her current position until a replacement has been found, Perrigo said.


text: It gets better: Teen offers advice to LGBT peers By Nicholas Ransbottom, West Virginia State University September 6, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- I still remember when I came out to one of my aunts around the age of 12. Her reaction to the news was that it was not news at all, partly because she had suspected it for a number of years, and partly because she just didn't really care.Unfortunately, a year later when I came out to my late father and the rest of my family, they weren't so accepting. I'll spare you the details, but it involved everything you would expect -- name-calling, hitting, the whole nine yards.That was a moment when I realized that if there were ever a way for me to stop being gay, I would have done it. If the pure rage my father unleashed upon me didn't suddenly make me like girls, nothing would.My struggle with my sexuality, particularly after coming out to my dad, is again what you would expect. I kept to myself a lot, my already-diagnosed clinical depression got worse, and I had two suicide attempts. I was ashamed of myself, and I wanted to die.Through a random string of events, including being disowned by family members, falling in love and being dumped by said love 10 months later (and a week after my father's suicide), I somehow began to embrace who I was.Notice I avoided the clichéd term "embrace my sexuality." Your sexuality does not define you. It is one part of what makes you the person that you are. It was a part of me that I denied for so long, and even when I acknowledged it, chose to ignore or hate it.But when I embraced it, things began to click.The world seemed like a happier place -- which is odd considering there were more negative reactions than positive to me coming out. I was finally happy with myself, though, and that's all that mattered.I don't know your story, reader. I don't know if you're bisexual, homosexual, lesbian, trapped in the wrong body, whatever. But I do know that you probably don't know many 17 year olds who will proudly declare their sexuality in such a homophobic state. I can't give you much advice because every situation is different, but if you are struggling with who you are, there are some pointers I can give you:1. Accept that nothing will change you. People can tell you that you can pray away the gay, that you will find the right boy/girl, that society has done it to you, blah blah blah. No. These people are wrong. They are stupid, and they are literally as harmful as poison to you.2. If anyone doesn't accept who you are, screw 'em. I don't care if it's your mom, dad, best friend, teacher or whoever. If they cannot say that they love you and would proudly welcome your same-sex partner just as they would an opposite-sex partner, then cut them out of your life as soon as you can. Because here's a dirty little secret no one wants to say: when you love people, you will accept them completely. And if they don't love you, why keep them in your lives?3. Only come out when you feel like can. I hate saying this, but sometimes you need to stay in the closet in order to survive, especially in West Virginia. It does not make you a coward; it makes you smart. You are protecting yourself from possible harm. Come out when it is safe to do so.4. I love you. I don't know, but I love you. I love you, and you are important, and you matter. If you ever feel ashamed for being the way you are, if you ever feel like no one loves you, remember that I do. And remember that there are plenty of people out there, including our President, who are fighting to keep you safe and make you feel loved.Remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.I know it's hard being different, but it's a blessing, not a curse. Be happy with who you are. Realize that not everyone is going to understand you're not making a choice in liking the same sex or being transgender, but also realize that there are plenty of people who will.So keep your chin up, and don't let things get you down. And if you ever need to talk to someone, here are some helpful, and confidential, organizations that can help: The Trevor Hotline: 1-866-488-7386 (A place to call if you feel you confused, in a crisis or alone) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 (A place to call if you're feeling suicidal or emotionally distressed) Trevor Space: www.trevorspace.org (A social network for 13-24 year old LGBT youths that's heavily moderated and a safe place to meet friends who are like you.) n It Gets Better Project: www.itgetsbetter.org (A website that offers support and encouragement for LGBT teens, including state resources like LGBT centers and advocacy groups) Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Deer in 8 WV counties found dead from EHD 2 Body found in Kanawha River, near South Charleston 3 Plans for all-ages venue rise in old bakery building 4 Judge gives water crisis settlement preliminary approval 5 City of Milton tries to revive Morris Memorial property A little freshman guidance from an upperclassman Previous Story Seat belts save lives, so buckle up Next Story

Statistics indicate 50 percent of the voters haven't a clue about what they are voting on. It isn't the best man for the job, but the most eloquent that wins.
Politicians further confuse voters by convincingly twisting and spinning information with the realization that people won't bother to check facts.
An example is the Feather River Recreation and Park District where the general manager has based his request for a salary raise by consistently reporting on his "favorable" bank meetings to modify the huge debt.
However, we now learn there was no reduction in the high interest rate, $46,000 monthly payments, or approximate $800,000 balloon payment. Instead the district will continue paying this plus additional payments for two years.
Should it come up again, it is hoped that voters are monitoring which board members voted for the exorbitant raise in spite of salaries being frozen. Regardless of how positive the results were reported, the fact remains that all it did was add to the debt.
Minutes with voting records are posted on the FRRPD website. Additional reliable information can be obtained from Loren Gill and Jan Hill who have valiantly attempted to keep the district on course in spite of the intimidation, yelling and table pounding from their fellow board members dictating how they should vote.
To thwart possible collusion, perhaps it would be wise to consider backgrounds of candidates to ascertain if any have been friends or associates of current district employees or board members.

This is getting a little silly. How can one woman change her hair color so often? Perhaps Britney saw your opinions about her brunette look on Monday (most of you prefer her as a blonde). Spotted out on Tuesday, the newly single mom seems to have shifted towards more of honey blonde, this time with some extensions. We'll try to get to the bottom of her constantly changing look and will let you know what we learn. But in the meantime, feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.

Unmolested 1.9s can now fetch well over £5K, but good examples of the 1.6 are still available at sensible money judging by this late-model, four-owner example plucked from PH Classifieds.
If you want to dredge through previous discussions on the merits of the 1.6 and the 1.9, fill your boots here. Or save yourself the bother by accepting a simple truth, which is that both GTIs were brilliant in their own ways.
Whoever said 'the camera never lies' obviously had little experience of the internet, but this '91 specimen looks like a well cared for car that's had all the right mechanical attention in the last 12 years from an owner who clearly knows his XU engines. With just over 100K miles up, the next owner would be well within their rights to expect at least another 50K of fun. Sure, the odd bits of plastic will fall off, you'll want to check the rear suspension before buying and the usual corrosion checks will apply as they do to any 20-year-old French car. But if all that passes muster, and the interior is as clean as the exterior, your only job will be to think about replacing those aftermarket alloys with some correct pepperpots.
As we speak, Peugeot has just received what can only be described as a 7bn euro bung from the beleaguered French government in exchange for not closing one of its factories. Shades of British Leyland. Hopefully, the 208 GTI will help to take the Peugeot story to a happier place. In the meantime, let's celebrate an accessible classic which for many will always sit in the shadow of the 1.9, but which arguably comes closer to the definition of 'peppy' than just about any other car. And peppiness is a very desirable automotive attribute.
Advert reproduced below.
PEUGEOT 205gti 1.6 (£995)
Classic graphite grey,100,000miles-central locking,sliding glass sunroof,power steering,tinted windows,alarm.15inch alloys 195/50/15 all good tread high performance tyres-recent new clutch assembly-new genuine Ferodo front discs with Mintex pads and new caliper-long M.O.T-engine major overhaul about 20,000 miles ago with brand new pistons and matching cylinder liners,new camshaft and followers,main and big-end bearings,oil pump etc cambelt and water pump whilst engine stripped down to replace valve stem oil seals. Very clean and unmolested car for year and drives well.As a mature driver,I have owned this car for the last 12yrs and thoroughly enjoyed this legendary classic by which new Peugeots are still judged in motoring circles-a true bargain now at revised price(most in classic circles are in the upper £2000's or more!)

Hello! I'm running www.northernilskywarn.org
Basically, See that "Net Status" Icon that flashes (It's a GIF file) on the left? When we change out net status, I want it to be easy for the 3 "website operators" I have to log into the admin control page (Yes, I have it pass/user protected) and have a drop down menu, or similar, that says "Change Net Status" then 4 options: Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red. The path to the "net staus icons" are /images/CAL.gif. (CAL meaning condition alert level.)
Right now, I have a template set on the pages in Dreamweaver that always draws up the /images/CAL.gif image to display. What I have had to do was go thru Filezilla, change the name of what GIF I want displayed. That isn't productive, especially for other website operators without the ability to FTP.
I was thinking a way to copy one of those images, move it to a "current status" directory, and rename it to "current.gif" or something. Then, when the admin changes it from, say, blue to yellow, it moves "yellow.gif" into the " current status" directory and names it "current.gif" and gets rid of the one in there already.
If anyone knows how to set this up, I'm stupid when it comes to FTP so I need "step by step."

Hi every one !
My name's Nicholas and I live in Montreal city in the province of Quebec, next to Ontario. I am seventeen years old.
I am interested in Buddhism about 2 years ago. Wisdom , simplicity, truth, Buddha's teachings .. All of these things interest me very much.
I am a student. My parents don't believe in anything. They are atheist. My grand mother was a christian, she died 3 months ago because of a cancer.
What about why am I interested in Buddhism ? That's because it's just a kind of life lesson .. You learn by experimentations. It's between a scientist approach and a spiritual teaching. That contains the advantages of these two kind of way to perceive the life. first of all, You have to see by yourself if the teachings you're learning is correct. And on the other hand, You have to believe on spirituality and on the dhamma. I also like the fact that there are no miracle promised in the buddhism, You have to do your own efforts and you must practice the more you can do for have results. Meditation will help you and It is necessary to reach your goal.
I wish we'll have nice discussions and a friendly environments for it.
Oh! Yeah ..I am French. So I am sorry if I made any mistakes. My writting level in english is not very good.
Peace to all of you !
