HISTORY buffs have the chance to step into a war trench when a realistic replica is set up in Hartlepool next month.
The lifesize First World War trench along with a number of artefacts bringing to life stories of those who served in the Great War were brought into town yesterday as part of the launch of a fascinating history initiative.
And the trench and artefacts will return to Hartlepool with The Time Bandits - a group providing historical interpretation and living history and drama - who will be on hand with their expert knowledge.
The initiative is one of a number of First World War projects ongoing in the town this year. And the Mail is marking the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War throughout 2014.
A series of commemorative supplements will be published in the paper from April onwards with coverage continuing until the centenary of the Bombardment of Hartlepool in December. Designed and conceived by military historian John Sadler and Cleveland College of Art and Design artistic director Mike Myers - with help from creative students - the trench is part of a series of events, exhibitions and activities called Remembering Our War.
It was set up in the college, in Church Square, and will take pride of place again at Grayfields Sports Pavilion, in Jesmond Gardens, in the town, on Saturday, March 8 from 6pm-8pm. The Remembering Our War initiative is being delivered by Hartlepool, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Councils along with the Heugh Gun Battery, on the Headland, thanks to a grant from Arts Council England.
As well as giving the town's residents the chance to experience history first hand, The Time Bandits will also be conducting a series of outreach sessions - without the trench - but based around a mobile learning pod. Those sessions will feature dramatic scenarios acted out in period costume and give people the chance to view and handle artefacts from the time.
They will be held at Asda, in Marina Way, Hartlepool, on Saturday, March 8, from 9am-noon and Middleton Grange Shopping Centre on the same day, from 1.30pm-4.30pm, before the trench is set up at Grayfields later that evening.
If you have Great War memorabilia or a story about a local relative who served in the conflict then please contact the Mail's newsdesk on (01429) 239380.

text: Continuing the legacy of this well-known text, authors Brady and Estes have fully updated and re-energized the content to accurately represent modern real estate practice in California today. Coverage of the SAFE Act and its impact on mortgage brokers has been added along with current information on homestead laws, buyer's agency, senior community exceptions to fair housing laws, and much more. Each chapter includes learning objectives, preview, summary, highlighted important terms, practical applications and review questions to boost user comprehension and mastery of material. Designed entirely around the salesperson exam's content, this book is easy-to understand, yet rigorous in its learning models to reinforce information necessary to pass the exam. The 150-question practice exam included is similar in format and content to the actual real estate salesperson exam with answers and test-taking hints.

Gary's random little things about China:
As the Chinese Government prepares Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games, here are some related facts:
More than 200 new hotels are being built in Beijing.
Almost 100 miles of new subway and local transit rail lines are being laid.
Hundreds of miles of new and improved highways are being built.
Almost 100,000 billboard signs have been put up to encourage Chinese people to be friendly to foreigners (and to stop spitting in public).
Beijing taxi drivers have been ordered to learn basic landmark and navigational English.
From the construction associated with the 2008 Olympics, The Three-Gorges Dam project, and other construction in China, there is a worldwide shortage of concrete and steel.
Because of the Para-Olympics, all new subway lines in Beijing are incorporating elevators making Beijing more accessible to disabled people than ever before.
Beijing's skies are usually gray by nature. In years past, on the days when the clouds clear, the sky was brown with pollution.
But in preparations for the Olympics along with a new public enthusiasm for environmental issues, gross-polluting vehicles have been banned by the Chinese Government.
So for the last few years, when the clouds clear over Beijing, blue sky can be seen for the first time in decades.

Fed: Tech, Auto Strongest CRE Sectors
According to the latest data from the Federal Reserve Board, the automotive and technology sectors are helping commercial real estate recoveries in some of its districts.
In its Beige Book, released Sept. 7, the Federal Reserve reported on economic activity, including commercial real estate, in the 12 districts of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Va., Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Mo., Dallas and San Francisco.
The Chicago district noted continued strength in industrial construction, particularly in the automotive sector, while San Francisco said some areas have benefited from technology sector growth.
Still, overall, CRE conditions remained weak or had few changes in most districts, the Fed said.
There were some improvements noted by New York, which reported a "noticeable" decline in office vacancy rates in the Buffalo and Rochester metro areas and "modest" decline in Manhattan and Long Island.
Lower commercial rents helped push down vacancy rates in the Kansas City district, and the Dallas district noted strong demand for leased space in Houston due to solid energy activity, according to the Fed.
Commercial construction was characterized as weak or limited by Cleveland, Atlanta, Chicago, and Kansas City, although Atlanta noted some strength in the healthcare sector.
St. Louis described conditions as mixed, with some improvement in education and energy-related construction while the Minneapolis district contacts reported an increase in small retrofitting projects and rebuilding in flood-damaged areas.
Credit for commercial development remained an obstacle for small retailers in the Richmond district, although Boston said aggressive competition among lenders led to reduced borrowing rates.

One still would have an initramfs instance. Also, this one is, AIUI, concerned primarily with system-on-NFS setups. Typically, these aren't of much use without /usr mounted anyway. The point is that currently, if there's a system which relies on /usr on NFS, the administrator has to somehow keep its / in sync with /usr.

Surely you can make whatever you want read only now. With all the sort of software continuously writing to /etc/?

As udev is prone to spawn all the sorts of software in turn, we're either going to move more and more from /usr to /, /or/ to invent more kluges so that udev scripts would actually wait for /usr to be mounted. Both are indeed valid issues. I don't know for sure /why/ udev(7) should precede /usr in the boot order, though.

307 Tasting Notes
Finishing up my old stash of Kanpe, though at the moment I still have a brand new tin of it as well. It's a spiced sweet tea. The sweetness hits at the back of the mouth, and leaves a fruity aftertaste. It's understated and mellow, mulled, and gentle. I'd like a bit more oomph but I do rather like it as-is too.
My dad went through a phase where he would almost only drink flavoured green teas. This is one of them, and probably the last of it at that.
It's a little flowery and a little lemony, the scent, for some reason, reminds me of a ginger snap cookie, though I'm pretty sure that there's no ginger in sight here. Ah well.
Overall, not bad. Not great, but not bad.
It's a Cheshire cat one. It's big, it's non-microwavable (which is a shame but a sacrifice that I am willing to make) and it is very smiley. My parents asked me which one I wanted, as a souvenir of their trip to Disney World. They just came home and I have it in hand and I love it.
I wanted a chocolatey tea today, and this is one that I haven't had lately, so I'm using it to christen. I know that these teas are a little weak sometimes, and this is a GIANT MUG, so I decided to use two teabags. So far, I'm not regretting that decision.
I actually wasn't expecting it to be as chocolatey as it is — I can actually taste the dark chocolate, which I appreciate. Admittedly, I'm not sure what I think about it as a chai — the dark chocolate taste is accented with spices, but even clear it doesn't seem… chai-y enough? I don't know. I seem to remember it being a little muddled with milk last time I tried it, but it's been a while, so I should probably try it again before really commenting on that. Alone, though, it's working well enough for me.
My sister has one just like it, and I keep on stealing it (I use it more than her actually). So I'm very glad to have one of my own now — I'll only have to borrow hers when mine is in need of a wash now. ;)
New mugs and tea cups are the best though. They always make me smile. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Brewing this a little weak, because I'm finishing it off and I don't quite have a full serving left. But making it in a smaller vessel as well, so hopefully it at least somewhat balances out.
The coconut is what's coming through clearest for me, with some of the sweetness and spice added to it. Unfortunately, I'm not a huge coconut fan, but I still don't mind it. I think it would be better, for me, with milk and sugar, but someone who is more into coconut would probably adore this straight.
I picked up a tin of this about a month ago, because they had a promotion going on and it looked interesting. Also, I was just about out of my current go-to black tea, so the time and price were both right.
I think another time, if I were having it clear, I'd brew it for just a hint less time — closer to the four minute mark than the five. It's a little bold, and with a taste that reminds me a bit of honey, though darker and not as sweet — just that bold semi-planty taste.
It actually tastes wonderful with milk and honey though, which is my favourite way to have a black cuppa when not having it clear so. Really I can't complain at all.
It's that kind of day when a little bit of extra caffeine can go a long way. And unfortunately, my tin of this is empty, but I still have a few little reserves of this lying around (a small tin from a sampler, and a sample from one of my last DT online orders).
I love the richness of this tea. The chocolate and raspberry and almond and roasted flavours work together very well, and it's woodsy and rich and… good. It does oversteep, though, so I've learned to be careful about that. It's also definitely best hot, though I don't mind it cooled down — it's just better when it's hot.
Overall, this is my go-to "get going" tea, and if not for the fact that I'm trying to get rid of things from my too-large collection, I'd probably be running out and buying another large tin of it sometime soon.
Well, this tea has had a long steep today, and it holds up quite well. I actually chose it for today for just that purpose — I have a three hour period in which I can't really get up and take a break, and wanted something to drink during it. And thus, here I am, and here it is — two hours in and still going strong. Even at this point, there isn't much of a bitter oversteeped taste to it. It would be a bit better with milk now, yes, but it's still pleasant and fruity.
I really do enjoy the peachy-mango-y flavour to this tea. It's light and reminds me of spring. I actually prefer this sort of flavour with a green base, but I like it with the black here too.
I wanted a green mug for this tea, and that meant I had to go ginormous. So that may have thinned out the taste a bit, but oh well. It's worth it.
The tea mainly tastes tea-y on its own, perhaps with a touch of liquorice. Adding milk and sweetening is suggested, so I've put milk and honey in after my primary tasting. It seems to be working with the taste of the honey — complementing it. Very smooth and harmonious. Nothing too stand-out, but decent, good, and friendly.
Would I have this again as a morning cuppa? You betcha.
I didn't realize this was a blend, otherwise I would have altered my steep a little. Nonetheless, I shall judge this as it is, and hopefully not be committing too much of a steeping sin as a result.
I was actually surprised by my first sip, as the waves of flavour seemed to hit me individually. I was expecting the richness of the black tea, but then there was a hit of something else, and then the lingering flavour of the oolong. Overall, it's a little sweet, much better sipped than gulped, and apparently at its best while hot.
My first thought in smelling this tea is that it reminds me a lot of Forever Nuts by DAVIDsTEA, which is hardly a bad thing — I happen to quite like this one.
I think it's sweeter, though. I'd like it a little stronger in flavour — I may use more tea than it suggests next time — but I do like it quite a lot. The aftertaste really makes me smile.

DIEPSLOOT, South Africa, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Police said they have arrested five men in the killing of two toddlers in Diepsloot, South Africa.
The two cousins, ages 2 and 3, went missing Oct. 12 while they were playing outside with friends.
The bodies of the girls were found Tuesday in community toilets in the town, which is located north of Johannesburg.
Four of the men have been charged with rape and murder.
The fifth man, who was arrested Friday after police offered a $10,200 reward for information, is expected to be charged on Monday with murder and kidnapping, the South African Broadcasting Corp. reported.
The 29-year-old's arrest sparked protests in the town, as residents demanded he be handed over to the crowd.
Police fired rubber bullets at the demonstrators who blocked a road and were throwing stones, the BBC reported.
The case of the four other defendants has been postponed while they seek legal aid.
The names of the five suspects are not being released.

Raneh Falls at Ken Gharial Sanctuary
These water falls (can't see the fall during summer months) are situated very close to temple city of Khajuraho (famous for Group of Temples - a Unesco World Heritage Monument). During Monsoon months (July to September) they are full (you can't see the canyon) and from October to December there is enough water to witness the fall.

Tommy Heinsohn is confident that once Chris Wilcox is 100 percent healthy he will be an asset on both sides of the floor.
Wilcox, who missed most of last season recovering from heart surgery, made a cameo appearance in the Celtics' home-opener loss to the Bucks.
Heinsohn said that not only will Wilcox's return to form help because he's a big man who can run the floor, but he also has experience with the Celtics' defense.
"He's played the Celtic defense at the center position," Heinsohn said. "He knows when to move and where to move."
Wilcox's experience could give him the edge over rookie Jared Sullinger.
"Sullinger is still playing college defense," Heinsohn said.

Cactus Moroni, UTMarch 13, 2013 4:57 p.m.
I watched a lot of 2A games this year. Cody John is an excellent choice as MVP. He did what his team needed him to do to win, and he did it very, very well. Wasatch Academy was just so loaded they did not need him to score 30 points every night like Parsons had to for South Sevier to win. Luzcando was great, Kaba was great, Diop was great, McEwan was great - Crosby was good enough to be at least 2nd team All State, and he came off the bench! With that good a team, the MVP had to come from Wasatch Academy.
wrkhrdhvfn Orem, UTMarch 13, 2013 1:52 p.m.
I don't know what happened to that first part of my post. I must have missed it when I copied it over after taking words out to meet the requirements. This is what I missed.
First of all CONGRATS to Cody John. He is definitely a great player, and he is surrounded by other amazing players.
wrkhrdhvfn Orem, UTMarch 13, 2013 1:29 p.m.
Several on that team could have been chosen MVP, and would also be deserving. Perhaps Luscando should have been MVP? I personally would choose him if choosing from WA. They won the Utah 2A State Tourney, and that is why one of their players was chosen. They are talented players, some of the top kids from their perspective country! Do a little internet research if you don't believe me. Imagine if we made up a team with the top players in even just the USA and we were able to compete in any STATE championship, let alone a 2A State championship. Would be fun eh? Before people pounce, I am definitely NOT being negative about the kids, they are very talented and I can't blame them for coming here to pursue their dreams of playing basketball.
@zelmob I too am interested in the voting process, and I didn't think you were being negative or saying that John was undeserving. It would be interesting to know how and when they choose, and how many votes their chosen MVP received.
Rural sport fan DUCHESNE, UTMarch 13, 2013 11:23 a.m.
If the kid is selected MVP, then he isn't left on the list for any team, it makes one more spot available for someone else. If it makes you feel better, just say he is on the first team as well.
But theoretically, the coaches may not have him first team, or even second team...The DesNews decides MVP, not the coaches. Which DOES make one wonder...where would they have put him?
As for sour grapes...yes, there ARE some bad feeling about that sort of thing, and rightfully so, since most 2A schools are limited to athletes that live in the area the school serves, but WA gets to bring in kids from literally anywhere. If a public 2A team had a kid move in from the next town over, or from SLC, without his parents, he'd be ineligible, but WA academy is private and provides housing, so they are OK to bring anyone in, and they are eligible immediately? It makes no sense at all.
zelmob57 Vernal, UtMarch 13, 2013 10:09 a.m.
As clarification, my questioning how many votes Cody John received was not a reflection of my personal, albeit limited, exposure to his performance. I did see most of his last two games on the desnews stream and was very impressed with him individually and with the WA team as a whole. They appeared to be a team that could go to any of their starters on any key offensive possession with confidence unmatched by any of the other 2A teams I observed. I have no reason to contend he is undeserving, simply interested in the voting process.
Tigers Fan Spring City, UTMarch 13, 2013 9:41 a.m.
All I can say is Sour Grapes to you all - can't you even acknowledge that Wasatch Academy had a bunch of great student athletes and they worked just as hard to win their games as anyone else? I applaud all the 2A all stars so can't we just be a little more positive with our comments?
zelmob57 Vernal, UtMarch 13, 2013 7:48 a.m.
Copy that Manti, does his absence from the list imply his name was not considered in the voting process because Desnews had already determined he was MVP before the coaches voted? Or was his name ommitted from the published list because Desnews named him MVP? Just curious, not intentionally dense.
MantiCoug Manti, UTMarch 12, 2013 10:51 p.m.
Ummm, he's the MVP.
zelmob57 Vernal, UtMarch 12, 2013 3:17 p.m.
How many coach votes did Cody John receive? I don't see him on the list at all. Additionally, please elaborate on the voting process. How many votes per coach?

Inboxes for different purposes
When going for the GTD Summit conference organized by David Allen, I realized what a great idea it is to have a special Inbox just for this trip, see what I mean:
Question: How do you make sure you don't forget anything when going for a trip? What's your inbox count?

The power of a mighty Inbox
Inbox - your main storage tool is vitally important if you want to get stuff done and make sure you're not losing track of everything in your life, watch for more deatils:
Question: How does your Inbox look like? Do you have an Inbox set up?
Here are some old but really useful comments that, due to some technical changes I had to make, are no longer available on YouTube:
Jeffrey [Nov 9, 2009 08:41]: I like the idea of an inbox for documents on my computer. That could really help clear a hanging point for me. Thanks!
Michael Sliwinski [Jan 13, 2010 10:02]: It helps me a lot - on my Mac - my inbox folder is my Downloads folder - and I have an action in Nozbe that repeats every week... to clear this folder and zero it out... for the weekly review.
Bert Webb [Dec 4, 2010 17:38]: I have a few:
1. A physical inbox on my desk 2. An email inbox 3. My Nozbe Inbox 4. Voicemail Inbox 5. Mobile Inbox
Here's a great tip: In my role as a school administrator, I get many requests for textbooks, classroom furniture, field trip approvals, repair requests, etc. To make sure nothing falls through the crack, the signature of my emails include links to "Request Textbooks", "Submit a Repair Request", "Request Additional Furniture", etc. In Outlook, I configure these links to pull up a new email that is pre-addressed with my Nozbe email address and the subject line already filled in. My teachers just fill in the body of the email with their request and, when submitted, the email becomes a task that is delivered to Nozbe and into the correct project (e.g., Textbooks or Facility Maintenance). During my daily processing, I click-and-drag those tasks into my contexts. Nothing gets lost.
Ted Werth [Aug 2, 2011 19:07]: I really like the idea of the mobile inbox. Hadn't thought of that, but it would eliminate having too many places to store receipts, documents, meeting notes, etc. Thanks for sharing.
Chris Mitchell [Aug 12, 2011 16:43]: I recently decided to use a notebook as a mobile inbox of sorts. I move so often between locations that I was missing the chance to process the inbox during many of the 'weird times' of my day.
My solution (about three months now) is to simply have a large pocket style folder inside a 3 ring binder/notebook. I use this as my 'main' physical inbox. That way it's always with me.
This has made a HUGE difference for me regarding keeping my physical inbox at zero, as often as possible.
Michael Sliwinski [Aug 3, 2011 07:36]: Bert, I totally missed your comment. It's fantastic and the use-case of Nozbe and email here is just great! I'll share it with the Nozbe community if you don't mind. Ted, thanks for stopping by and reminding me to look at this blog post's comments :-)

I really like booking.com because of the wide array of choices it gives one when looking for hotel accommodation overseas. I also really like the flexibility this agency has in terms of confirmation/cancellation policies. One does not feel pressured at all when making bookings or reservations. I honestly cannot think about what I do not like about booking.com.

Unable to change permissions in regedit in Vista despite using administrator account
All replies
You may not have the permissions to change the ACL on that key by default, even as admin.
You could still take ownership of the key and then give the administrators group sufficient access, but if the key is protected this way, there could be a good reason. You'll be modifying its content at your own risks...
right-click the key, click security, click advanced, click owner, click other users or groups, click advanced, click find now, select your account, click ok, click ok, select your account, click ok, now you can set permissions as you wish. do this for every key you want.

LvD, thx man, i would have nevr thought of that, its really annoying but its the only way to override the security thing.
- Proposed as answer by belcherman Friday, June 03, 2011 7:32 PM
I am simply trying to remove all the foreign fonts I will never use to get it to a basic set so I can use a 3rd party font manager. Vista has over 90 fonts in the font folder and will not allow me to delete them.
I am signed on as an administrator and when I try to change permissions to allow full control, I get "Access Denied," and permission reverts back to "Read & Execute."
Any leads would be appreciated...thank you,
Hi Team,
Please perform the following steps to reset the permissions in registry.
1. Download and install the SubInACL utility.
Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E8BA3E56-D8FE-4A91-93CF-ED6985E3927B&displaylang=en
2.Create a new text file named fix_registry_permissions.bat and add the following text to it and save it.
cd /d "%programfiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
3. Run the file from the elevated command prompt.
You can also try the following command if the above mentioned steps doesnt help you.
a) secedit
b) icacls
Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

I just now saw your site and discussions and need help. I have a Blackberry Curve 8310 and cannot get the desktop manager to launch on my Toshiba satellite laptop. The version I need to use is desktop mgr 4.3 without Media Mgr. After 3 days of trying to get this to work I am ready to throw the phone in the trash!!!
I even talked to the very own RIM (BB) experts for over an hour and they gave up and told me it is a Vista problem so I need to talk to Microsoft folks. She directed me to the SubInAcl tool. However, my laptop will not let me open it for security reasons. I have Vista Ultimate. So now what do I do????????
Please help anyone...
Thanks LvD. Tried your suggestion but still does not work,
I face a problem where all my files stored in a portable HDD failed to be opened. I managed to open them in Win2K and Win XP previously without any encryption. Now, I notice my files suddenly have the attribute AE when I checked the properties in Windows Vista. I wonder why. If I have not encypted them before, how could I decrypt them now?
I treid to effect a take ownership registry as advised by my laptop manufacturer but still fail to open any. Called Microsft but my lines were cut off a couple of times while waiting in queue. I am desperate to open these Office 97 and 2003 files in my portable HDD. Anyone can help?
Thank you.
I'm having similar problems. I tried this & it didn't work. I'm using Vista Home Basic. Recently when I've tried to update or reinstall certain programs, I get this kind of permission error & the operation rolls back, even tho I'm the administrator for this machine. I started getting errors in Excel ("Cannot use object linking and embedding") that prevented it starting. So from my company I got a CD to reinstall it. I intended to uninstall before reinstalling, but couldn't find a way to uninstall. Anyway, during reinstallation I get Error 1402 saying I don't have permission to change UNKNOWN\.wll\Word.Addin.8\ShellNew. I tracked down that key & followed instructions from this forum & elsewhere to change permissions on the key. But no permission change sticks. I get "Unable to save permission changes on ShellNew. Access is denied." If I click "Retry" I get "ShellNew cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Details: Access is denied." I even get messages saying I'm not authorized to look & see who's the owner of the key.
I got similar errors recently when trying to update iTunes. Different key, of course, but none of my attempts to change permissions on the offending keys have worked.
Any other things I can do?
Thank you Pai! This fixed a problem on a friends XP Pro machine!
For some reason FLASH stoped working on a friends XP Pro. It wouldn't install. Registry keys were not accessable, and the Registry didn't know or could not calculate permissions and would not allow changing permissions.
The SubInACL utility and your batch file fixed it. After downloading SubInACL and running your batch file, I was able to run a downloaded install for FLASH, (wouldn't install off their web page).
Thank you Pai for postin! This was on XP!!!
I did this on two different programs with on changes. On the internet account. I now have 4 groups and there are only 3 people who use this pc. On the cookies properities when I go to advanced; I am blocked by the security warning.
I believe I have put these restrains on. We didn't want to get a bunch of yuch; so we put on restrictions. But I can't even get a screen name for me or my husband. I don't have the authority. I would like to reset my controls so we all have access to everything. We are all over 35! Is that possible?
Pai's response DID allow me permissions access to regedit on Vista SP1. However, the *.exe solution that's worked for so many people at http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html still doesn't work when I restart my machine. I've tried disabling Norton anti-virus, although it's not even working b/c it's an exe file, and still I get the dreaded "Open With" window when clicking on exe files. Maybe I have a virus? Any other explanations? ANYBODY??
You may not have the permissions to change the ACL on that key by default, even as admin.
You could still take ownership of the key and then give the administrators group sufficient access, but if the key is protected this way, there could be a good reason. You'll be modifying its content at your own risks...
Try going to KB313222
You will get the resolution
right-click the key, click security, click advanced, click owner, click other users or groups, click advanced, click find now, select your account, click ok, click ok, select your account, click ok, now you can set permissions as you wish. do this for every key you want.
To summerize, find the key you want to access, right click -> Permissions -> Advanced -> Owner ( select the specific owner or group you want and click ok) -> then you can do whatever you want to the key. This works for me.
Please mark the right answer at the right time.
Hopefully you are still active on these forums?
I'm having similar problems that started with the firewall not working. I've drilled it down to needing to change the permissions on the BFE keys. I can change of BFE/Parameters/Policy but not on BFE/Paramaters or just BFE. Access is denied.
I have tried your suggestions above but still no joy?
Do you have any further advice?
Many thanks in advance.

IKEA has pulled the plug on the sales of incandescent light bulbs, the retailer announced last week. Effective Jan. 4, 2011, IKEA US will no longer stock or sell incandescent bulbs, becoming the first retailer to do so ahead of new energy efficiency regulations set to take effect in 2012.
The new regulations, part of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, will effectively phase out less efficient bulbs, starting with the standard 100W bulb in 2012, followed by 75W bulbs in 2013 and 60W and 40W bulbs in 2014. These national regulations are also being put into effect a year earlier in California, where standard 100W incandescent bulbs manufactured after Jan. 1 of this year cannot be sold.
"As the largest home furnishings store, we are constantly looking at ways to help support our customers with everyday environmentally responsible solutions that will improve their lives," Mike Ward, US IKEA President, said in a statement. "Eliminating incandescents is just one simple way for IKEA customers to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases."
Terry McGowan, Director of Engineering for the American Lighting Assn., says it's not surprising that IKEA was the first retailer to take this step, since it was also the first to offer CFL recycling.
IKEA's decision will also help increase consumer awareness of the phase-out, McGowan says. According to a survey done last month by IKEA and Harris Interactive, more than 60 percent of Americans are not aware of the new energy efficiency requirements.
"What IKEA has also done is opened the door to educating the consumer in a very substantial way," McGowan says. "By having a customer come in for replacement bulbs and ask where they are and why they're not there anymore, there's a built-in education opportunity."
McGowan also says 2011 will be an important transitional year for incandescent products, as it will be interesting to see how consumers react, and whether they choose halogen, CFL or LED bulbs.
"The one thing that's different about the new sources is sticker shock. Consumers will go from a 60 cent light bulb to a two or three dollar light bulb," McGowan says. "If the price is the same, will the consumer reach for halogen, which is incandescent in any respect, or CFL? Any retailer that's interested in the future of lighting should be interested in this decision."

We are sure we parked within the designated parking space for Zipcar when we returned the car but were charged £140 by the local authority.

Mya and Dmitry-10-10-10=30 (called it)
Dmitry seemed thrilled at drawing the 70s. That dance was better than their quick step, less boring, but still not energetic. CA believes Mya wants to win, thinks it was beyond belief, Len says Mya is absolutely on fya, likes she didn't have gimmicks, Bruno says she's a bad girl and he loves bad girls. Basically a perfect 30 coming. I'm more and more convinced they're trying to convince the audience Mya's really as good as they want her to be.
Time for Aaron and Karina doing a 90s Samba.
The Return of Sick Karina, with her bold eyebrows and pale face! Cough on that Weasel, Sick Karina! Cough!!!
LATER: Well in tribute to Aaron's past... that was "Boy Bland", wasn't it?
"You don't rehearse Mr. T, you just turn him loose."
-----Sylvester Stallone, on Mr. T-----
Karina just now realizes that Aaron goes overboard with the choreography.
A 90s samba. Kind of dull. If Karina had been sick I probably wouldn't want to be spinning her around.
I'll say it, Mya's was better. Hopefully this is Aaron's swan song this week.
That was really good!
Goodness, that vein in Aaron's forehead is distracting.
Never let the things you want make you forget about the things you have.
Loved Aaron and Karina's dance! Very fun to watch and I think they really did a great job.
I wonder where that step was that Karina said was really cool but really hard to do.
Len says it's tough following a perfect 30 samba, says he performed it, sold it, worked his socks off. Bruno says all his energy was made good. CA says he's truly a good performer. Blah.
Karina does not look well.
Joanna/Derek look damn scary
I liked Aaron and Karina's dance better than Myra and Dimitri's -- it was was fun and upbeat. Myra's seemed to be disco slo-mo! Let's see if the Judges agree . . . .

Horses pre-entered in the 14 Breeders' Cup races to be run Oct. 24-25 at Santa Anita will face drug testing ahead of racing's richest event.
Horses will be selected randomly for testing from the pre-entry lists to be released Oct. 14, the California Horse Racing Board announced Tuesday.
The testing will specifically target EPO, darbepoetin and other blood-doping agents that are typically administered days or weeks before competition and are not usually detectable in testing traditionally done shortly after the race.
The Breeders' Cup will help the board with the collection of samples from pre-entered horses before their arrival in California.
EPO, also called Epogen, is a blood-doping agent that enhances horses' red blood cells and has the potential to improve their performance.
Trainers of horses that test positive for anabolic steroids at the Breeders' Cup will face a one-year suspension from the event, and three-time violators will be banned for life, according to new rules this year.

A Canadian-Indian businesswoman who has been missing in Pakistan since last August was killed soon after arriving in the country, according to a lawyer representing the woman's father.
Rajvinder Kaur Gill, 40, travelled to Lahore last summer to settle a financial dispute and soon disappeared. Her family in B.C. reported her missing after they had not heard from her in weeks.
Aftab Bajwa, the lawyer hired by the Gill family, said the police chief of Lahore told a court on Wednesday that a suspect had confessed to killing the woman. The suspect said he was working with a German man of Pakistani origin who was involved in a financial dispute with Ms. Gill.
The suspect told police that both men picked up Ms. Gill from Allama Iqbal International Airport on Aug. 25, and drove her to the town of Sheikhupura, according to Pakistani newspaper The Express Tribune. According to Pakistani media reports, the suspect told police that after the two men had given Ms. Gill tea laced with sedatives, they strangled her with a rope and dumped her body in the Khanpur Canal.
The suspect told police that the second man has fled the country.
According to a Facebook page set up by her family, Ms. Gill moved to Canada 13 years ago with her family and lived in Mission, B.C. She had worked at a CIBC in Vancouver until 2006 and had recently left her job at a private banking group in Zurich, Switzerland.
Since Ms. Gill's disappearance more than five months ago, her father Sikander Singh Gill has been lobbying Pakistani officials to widen their investigation in the case. In an emotional Facebook message posted on Dec. 21, Sikander Singh Gill pleaded for the public's help in finding his daughter.
"If anyone has any information that can help us bring Rajvinder home safely, I beg you to please help," he wrote. "Her mother and I pray day and night for her safe return."
Police have not yet found Ms. Gill's body.
A hearing has been set for Jan. 7 before the Lahore High Court for updates on the investigation.

A CARING South Tyneside mum whose teenage son has battled a growth disorder since birth has launched a charity fundraising drive.
Lisa Douthwaite, 48, has organised a fun day on Saturday in aid of the national Jeans for Genes charity, which supports children with genetic disorders.
Mrs Douthwaite has been on a mission for weeks to get ready for the big event at Hadrian Primary School – as well as setting up a charity night at The Mile bar in South Shields to further boost the coffers of the cause.
The charity night, featuring a performance from rising South Tyneside band The Fences, was held last Friday and proved a big hit, raising £220 for the charity.
On Saturday, face painting, tombola, bouncy castles, a soccer shootout and even a visit from favourite cartoon couple Minnie and Mickey Mouse has been lined up for the fun day, which runs from 11am until 3pm.
Mrs Douthwaite was determined to support Jeans for Genes as her son James, now 13, was born with Silver-Russell syndrome, a disorder which affects about one in every 100,000 babies.
The Boldon School student was told he would never grow taller than 4ft 4ins due to the condition.
But after taking growth hormone injections every day between the ages of five and 10, he has defied that prediction, to stand at 4ft 9ins.
The brave youngster also had a leg-lengthening operation at Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary recently to add to his height.
The fun day coincides with the charity's own national Jeans for Genes Day.
Mrs Douthwaite, a mum-of-two who lives in Baring Street, South Shields, with husband Jim, 43, said: "My son was born with a genetic disorder. He was told he wouldn't be any taller than 4ft 4ins, but he is now 4ft 9ins.
"He has had to take growth hormone injections and have an operation. Now he is 13, his natural growth will kick in and we are hoping he could reach about 5ft 2ins.
"We still have a long, long road ahead of us, but he is making good progress.
"We are very proud of him. He is very level-headed and never feels sorry for himself."
"I would love to raise thousands for the charity, as it is one of the less well-known charities and needs more support."
The fun day at Hadrian Primary School, in Baring Street, South Shields, is free to enter with proceeds from the tombola and raffle going to Jeans for Genes, while collection buckets will also be on hand.

Niki Taylor does Keith Urban
saltyt 15:19h
True, Golden Road is the title of Keith Urban's new album. But to the sizzling guitar-slinging singer, those words perfectly describe the real-life path he's traveling.
" 'Golden Road' is a good way to describe the road you're supposed to be on," shares Keith. "I was on it for a long time. Then I took some really bad detours and dead ends. Now, I feel like I'm back on track."
It's hard to believe that Keith, 2001's CMA Horizon Award winner and the ACM's Top New Male Vocalist for 2000, has ever hit so much as a speed bump. But only four years have passed since he struggled with a serious cocaine addiction, ultimately hitting rock bottom.
"At that point, there was major chaos in my life," confides Keith. "I pushed everybody away. Cocaine kills everything you need – belief and self-esteem."
His debut album, Keith Urban, scored four hits – including his self-penned No. 1 "But For The Grace Of God" – and went gold, selling 500,000 copies.
Then, just as he started work on his follow-up album, Keith's world was shaken again when he and his fiancee broke up.
"That was a very hard time," he admits.
Once again, music played a pivotal role in Keith's healing process. In fact, his new No. 1 smash, "Somebody Like You," was written while nursing his heartache.
"When I wrote that song, I was still in the midst of this breakup with my fiancee," he confides. "It was weird to write about being so positive and secure with that going on. But she really loved me. I could see that. I was going through all sorts of stuff and didn't like myself. I said, 'Man, I wish I could love me the way you do.' That was the inspiration."
The song inspired a romance-charged video co-starring the woman rumored to be Keith's current real-life love interest, supermodel Niki Taylor. When asked if there is, in reality, a romance blooming, Keith remains mostly mum.
"We're friends," he smiles. "Good friends. She loves country music. A mutual friend suggested we meet because Niki wanted to be in a video. The video is very earthy and organic. She just fit the bill so well."
Keith claims he doesn't mind all the talk about him and the girl who has graced a thousand magazine covers. "I'd ask about it, too!" he laughs. "But seriously, I'm really happy with my work right now. Dating is just not a priority. I'm not going to turn down love if it comes along – but it's the last thing I'm thinking about."

Hi All,
I'm from Lancaster, PA and new to the ways of the hammock. I got to try out a buddy's hammock on a camping trip in the summer of 2010, and I frequently remember how comfortable it was. Fast forward to today, I haven't been on any trips since then because of FT work plus FT school to become a CNC machinist. Graduation is now about two months away, so now is the time to make gear for a long awaited vacation in the woods. I got the hammock fire rekindled by some of the folks over at bushcraftusa, and decided I not only wanted to try it out, but wanted to make my own hammock, bugnet and tarp. I have some thread injector experience already, mostly costume garment structure and sewing stuff for around the house. I cannot remember not knowing how to hand sew, so I've been at it for a while.
Long story short, I used a 40% off coupon at Joann's for ripstop and have my double 1.9 with sleeping mat sleeve all sewn up and now am waiting on some amsteel, webbing and aluminum arrow segments for suspension from DIY gear supply. I also just found 37 yards of uncoated marpat digital camo 1.1 at magnafabrics.com for $1.25/yd which will become my tarp among other things. I'm going to mix up a bucket of silicon dip to make my own silnylon out of it. So, you probably can tell I'm here for DIY help, and have already made much use of the DIY threads here. I hope to contribute more in the future.

One of many heartbreaking moments in Spike Jonze's woefully insightful new film "Her" comes toward the end, when the nebbish played by Joaquin Phoenix is speaking to a computer program he has fallen in love with and glances up around him at a subway entrance: Everyone else is whispering gently into their smart phones too, oblivious of their actual surroundings. They've all become characters in a virtual reality that has displaced their actual lives.
"Her" is set about 10 minutes into the future, which is why it's so dead-on. Now when you walk into a restaurant, you might see a handsome couple on a date sitting inches apart and utterly ignoring one another, each tapping away on a smartphone in total silence. I imagine each of them texting, "I can't believe how boring my date is."
This week, a woman checking Facebook on her smartphone plunged off a pier in Melbourne. Last year a woman fell into Lake Michigan while texting. A Texas man drove off a bridge and nearly died shortly after sending a text saying, "I need to quit texting." An Ohio State University study recently found 1,500 people were treated in nearby emergency rooms for cell phone-related injuries in a year, a tripling from previous years. In Seattle, researchers found that texters were four times as likely to disregard traffic signals while crossing streets.
All of this is less disturbing than the probability that our smart phones, these magical gizmos of connectedness, are turning us into disconnected loners untethered to reality.
Apple knows it has turned us into iZombies, and has become defensive about it, releasing its own little movie arguing that there's some upside to this depressing new reality.
Its new 90-second commercial, "Misunderstood," centers on a teenaged lost soul who refuses to take part in a Yuletide family reunion. As family members build snowmen and exchange hugs, he hangs off to the side by himself, forever sulking into his iPhone.
It turns, though, that he's not only aware of the festivities around him but he's been carefully filming and editing the sweetest moments into a home movie that he climactically debuts on the living room TV, to general merriment and wonder. At the end of the home movie, he includes a shot of himself doing something we haven't seen him do before: He smiles.
Now they get it: The weird loner, the emotionless little gadget monkey who never talks to anyone, is actually a proto-Spielberg who loves his family and is destined to warm hearts by the millions.
Apple's intended message is that if you get an iPhone, you'll be more in the moment, more in harmony with your surroundings, more lovingly connected than ever before.
In the history of nice tries, this one has to rank just below the mid-century effort by the tobacco industry to assuage fears about the safety of its products: One ad declared, "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette!" Another: "Tests showed 3 out of every 4 cases of smoker's cough cleared on changing to Philip Morris."
As pitches go, "Buy an iPhone in order to get in touch with loved ones sitting on the couch next to you" makes about as much sense as teaching the world to sing by buying it a Coke.
We're supposed to forgive the "Misunderstood" kid because he's a talented filmmaker, but he is still missing out on the game by turning himself into a sideline cameraman. Everybody loves the end result because people like to look at images of themselves, but that doesn't excuse the creepiness of his technologically-aided self-alienation. Picture a teen novelist who does nothing at your family gathering but stand by silently and take notes. Pretty irritating, no?
Moreover, the "Misunderstood" spot is a nonsequitur: Chances are the kid at your family gathering who is fixated on his iPhone is watching a video or texting peers about how lame you are or playing Candy Crush Saga, not making a movie about his vast love for family.
There is no twist in real life: Most iZombies actually are oblivious to their surroundings.
Anheuser-Busch could make a heartwarming commercial about a guy who downs 12 Bud Lights and then, on the drive home, skillfully steers around a baby stroller that suddenly rolls into the street in front of him, but that wouldn't be a very accurate representation of what beer does for your driving skills. Let's not overlook what the iPhone is doing to us.
About 10 minutes in the future, there are going to be holiday dinners during which 12 relatives sit at a table, each of them ignoring the others while silently watching a different video on his iPhone. Maybe at least some of them will be watching cute commercials about the importance of holiday family gatherings.

Four Southwestern Students Selected to Receive Sumners Scholarships
- Donald Tetto
Four Southwestern students have been selected to receive Hatton W. Sumners Scholarships beginning in the fall of 2013.
The scholarships, which are awarded by the Hatton W. Sumners Foundation of Dallas, are for $5,000 per semester, or $10,000 per year. The scholarships are awarded in the sophomore year and are good for the junior and senior years.
The scholarships are designated for students majoring in political science, history, pre-law or education. Students are selected for the scholarships based on their academic history, extracurricular activities, and leadership experience. Selection for the scholarships includes an interview with the trustees of the Sumners Foundation, which was created in 1949 by former Congressman Hatton W. Sumners (1875-1962).
Students recently selected to receive Sumners Scholarships are Anne Bransford, Lauren Gieseke, Lucero Pina and Jay Scheinman. Bransford and Gieseke are history majors and Pina and Scheinman are political science majors.
In addition to assistance with tuition, students selected to receive Sumners Scholarships have access to other programs sponsored by the foundation, including a distinguished lecture series; a variety of public policy, leadership and civic participation programs; and several educational and internship opportunities in Washington, D.C. Priscilla Hernandez, a senior Sumners Scholarship recipient, has just received an additional $8,000 scholarship to participate in an internship program in Washington this summer. Hernandez plans to participate in the Institute on Philanthropy and Voluntary Service sponsored by the Fund for American Studies.

Nats decline to offer pair arbitration
Team still has interest in return of both Boone and Perez
By Bill Ladson / MLB.com
All Major League clubs had to decide by 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday whether to offer their free agents arbitration.
In the case of the Nationals, they decided not to offer infielder Aaron Boone and left-hander Odalis Perez arbitration because they are not considered Type A or B free agents.
However, the Nationals have interest in having both players back for next year, but they are going to see how the free-agent market plays out before making any moves on the players.
Perez pitched in 30 games this past season and went 7-12 with a 4.34 ERA, while Boone hit .241 with six home runs and 28 RBIs off the bench.

School mourns student killed in accident
Macias, hit by a truck Friday, was'incredibly friendly and vivacious.'
Updated 3:14 pm, Wednesday, May 25, 2011
The mood at San Antonio Can! High School was somber Monday as students returned to the campus following the death of one of their own a few days earlier.
Emilio Macias, 18, died Friday afternoon after he was struck by a truck while crossing the street at West Southcross and South Zarzamora. He had just left one VIA bus and was trying to catch another one, police said.
The first bus obstructed both the teen's view and that of the driver of the truck that struck him, but the truck did have the green light and the right of way, according to previous Express-News reports.
Macias died at the accident scene.
The accident occurred around 12:15 p.m., 15 minutes after Macias had finished his morning session at the charter school, which works to get dropouts back into a classroom and on the path to a diploma.
Macias had dropped out of high school earlier and began attending San Antonio Can! in August with the goal of going to college after getting his diploma, said his basketball coach and physical education teacher, Andrew O'Hara, who also is the school's athletic director.

"Emilio was really well known at the high school," O'Hara, 25, said. "He was incredibly friendly and vivacious; just a passionate guy with his friends and basketball, with everything he did."
The teen loved basketball, O'Hara said. Every night that he didn't have practice, he could be found playing at a local park. A small forward on the school's varsity team, which competes in the Alamo Charter School Athletic League, Macias always had a smile on his face as he played.
Jennifer Leighton, the school's development coordinator and girls' basketball coach, said Macias was always supportive of the girls' team, helping them get the gym ready for games.
He was a good friend to everybody," Leighton, 27, said. "The whole school is very upset right now. It felt really empty without him (at school) today."
She said they would be retiring his No. 32 jersey.
Attempts to reach his family were not successful. O'Hara said he believed Macias was an only child. His mother came to every basketball game, he said.
The school is planning a barbecue fundraiser on June 4 to help with funeral costs, Leighton said. Donations can also be made to the Texas Capital Bank Emilio Macias Fund.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
"It's definitely noticeable when Emilio is not around," O'Hara said. "He brings a sort of energy to practice or class, wherever he is. You miss it when it's not there."

"Rural Life" depicts the vast range of communities in the United States.
Tammy Mercure is fascinated by America's rural towns and landscapes. A photographer and book designer, she's just produced an old-fashioned photography zine that provides a visually stunning look into the country's least urbanized communities.
Based in Tennessee, Mercure is also a co-editor for The American Guide, a photography site inspired by the WPA's Federal Writers Project known as "The American Guide Series."
Unlike the depression-era concept, today's American Guide is less interested in government propaganda and more on the country's full story; its "amber waves of grain and its strip malls, its apple pies and its oil rigs," as they explain on their website.
Designed by Mercure and curated by fellow American Guide contributor Brett Klein, AG now has its first venture into the print world, a zine called "Rural Life," which showcases the work of 18 photographers.
From Roger May's lush look at Appalachia to Michael Cevoli's intimate portrayal of the New England coast, "Rural Life" depicts the vast range of communities in the United States.
In the zine's introduction, Klein writes that "life in rural America is not that simple." But he also hopes the images simply show a kind of life that, no matter where each reader lives, is "not entirely unlike their own."

More than a third of motorists in the North West know a driver over 65 whose ability behind the wheel concerns them, according to a new survey.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists is now calling on the Government to introduce a national strategy of driving health checks and better information for elderly drivers and their families. The call comes after a poll which also shows that forty-two per cent of the population are worried about an elderly relative driving, yet they are unlikely to do anything about it.
The survey of 1,297 people shows that while concern about elderly drivers is evident, acting on concerns is another issue. Fifty-four per cent of those concerned in the North West did nothing. IAM chief executive Simon Best said: "Talking to an elderly relative about their driving is a difficult conversation to have. Driving is associated with independence, so giving up the car keys can be a very stressful process. This is especially true for drivers with dementia."

These Bobcats are different
CHARLOTTE, NC — One of the brilliant decisions new Charlotte Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap made in the offseason was to not let the franchise run from its record-setting season of futility from a year ago.
Dunlap wanted them to own it. He personally embraced it, adopting all of its warts because he knew the only way to truly move on was for everyone to understand the steps required to cut that cord.
Moments following the Bobcats thrilling 90-89 victory over the Indiana Pacers on opening night Friday at Time Warner Arena, Dunlap laid it right out there:
"The most important thing was to kill the elephant," he said.
The elephant was the team's 23-game losing streak to end last season, which concluded with a 7-59 mark, good for the worst winning percentage in NBA history.
Charlotte slayed the psychological beast Friday while taking a healthy step in the right direction. It's just one game, but this is a different team, and in many respects it's a different franchise with owner Michael Jordan taking a back seat, a new uniform look and an abundance of smiles at every turn.
To be different, however, the team must change its characteristics from last season. With that, several improvements stood out, beginning with the play of second-year point guard Kemba Walker.
Walker, who averaged 12.4 points per game as a rookie, shared the job with D.J. Augustin a year ago while also dabbling at the two-guard. But it's his now, and Dunlap — who has an intimate understanding of Walker's strengths, which weren't always on display last season — made sure Walker approached the game as he did in college.
"Kemba, whatever he was last year, and I looked at a lot of film," said Dunlap, who was an assistant at St. John's when Walker played at Connecticut. "There was more to come of what I was used to when I was in the Big East and had to coach against him. So I knew that better days were ahead."
Walker finished with 30 points and three assists, but his aggressiveness taking the ball inside the lane, often getting to the rim, was extremely uplifting to a team that easily could have spent the night looking for a spark.
"I felt really good and really comfortable," said Walker, who smiled when asked about Dunlap trusting him.
Fourth-year wing Gerald Henderson was just 6-for-14 from the field, but his jumper is more fluid and he carries himself like an experienced veteran. Charlotte will need his stroke, attitude and controlled disposition nightly as the season wears on.
Equally impressive is what the three new veterans gave the Cats. Eleven-year vet Brendan Haywood and his 7-foot frame disrupted in the lane and gave the team 31 very professional minutes. In addition, wings Ben Gordon (10 points) and Ramon Sessions (11 points) did many of the little things that lead to victories. Sessions' 3-pointer with 4:56 left put the Cats up 88-84 and held off an Indiana spurt.
Collectively, the trio gave the Bobcats 75 minutes of gravitas that simply didn't exist last season. Their presence and what they can do for this team can't be overlooked.
"It's very important having those guys, they are really experienced," Walker said. "We all learn a lot from those guys… It's extremely important to have those guys around."
The other notable difference came on the defensive end. Indiana converted just 39.8 percent of its field goal attempts, and at crunch time the Bobcats really stepped it up.
Charlotte scored its final points with 3:28 left to lead 90-85, and the Pacers closed to within a point with 2:01 remaining. After that, however, the Cats held Indiana to 0-3 from the floor, including a blocked shot, and three turnovers, including a shot-clock violation.
A year ago, no way the Bobcats would have closed out a team after not scoring over the game's final 208 seconds. But, as their new coach said, this isn't that team.
"I think the players themselves are responsible for that," Dunlap said. "We've had long practices, and I think when you invest that much in it there's just an emotional attachment to the fact that we want to get this done… I think this is a different team, also."
That's it right there: Investment.
The Bobcats have made this personal, even if they had nothing to do with last season's disaster. That's part of the design of this team and franchise in addition to how the roster was composed and their on-court approach is prescribed.
Regardless of what happens moving forward, that's a healthy step in the right direction.

Review for The Arc of Union County, Monroe, NC, USA
Melinda Plue and this organization was awesome helping me obtain everything that my child qualified for through the public school system. He has learning disabilities from a traumatic brain injury as a baby. She helped walk me through every step of the way and was there to answer all the questions that I had. He was able to get Extended School Year (which I had tried to get him in for 2 years and unable to obtain on my own) this summer and helped get him where he needs to be. His reading level has already increased by a whole year according to his 6 week review! Great organization! They really care about their clients!

To the Editor:
Long Island Sound coastal resources especially Long Beach West located in Stratford, an integrated natural estuary, unique and fragile, an asset of present and potential value to the economic well-being of Stratford and the entire state, must be preserved and protected from misuse and kept in its natural undeveloped condition for all time!!
Long Island Sound Long Beach West unique area must be protected from any attempt to commercializing it for any reason especially against sewer / water services. Development of this unique coastal area without due consideration of its natural value for marine resources, wildlife, nutrient rich soil and a unique ecosystem would be a disaster!!
All local and governmental agencies should design special environmental features to protect over time this rare and beautiful open environmental important space as a natural / wildlife area.
For these and many other reasons this special Long Beach West should be preserved as open space protected for wildlife first and humans second as a unique barrier beach location in Stratford, Connecticut.

I know that appearing on DWTS was Florence's dream, and that she was living it out in a wonderful fashion.
However, I don't think she got the viewer votes to stay on, and for all of the shenanigans that go on in this show (and I do believe there are agendas), that is one of the premises: the contestants leave as their combined judges' score and viewers' votes total is the lowest.
Bristol seemed well prepared to go if she were voted off, so I don't think there was a contract agreement to keep her on past this week.
I have to draw the conclusion, then, that as per what we discussed yesterday, Bristol apparently got enough viewer votes to insure that she would not be leaving.
Therefore, Florence must have beat out both Bristol and the lovely Audrina ( of whom we were also concerned) for the lowest fan votes. (Did you notice that Tony seemed extremely concerned and relieved when they were voted safe?)
I enjoyed Florence, but I also questioned how well she would have been able to physically hold up to the challenge of the rest of the season. Although she doesn't dance well, two dances next week will not physically tax Bristol in the same manner that they would Florence. Later, there will be three dances and or two dances and a group dance. How would Florence hold up to that kind of physical stress?

A supply teacher fancied himself a top-notch educator, but a judge found him to be nothing more than an opportunistic pervert who groped five Grade 3 girls for sexual thrills.
Yousef Chaouni-Benabdallah, 49, almost got away with it.
He'd been called in for a friendly chat with Ottawa Police Det. Joanne Marelic after two young girls at Ecole Odysee claimed Chaouni, as he is known, had gotten touchy-feely with them upon getting them alone at some point in December 2010.
But Chaouni, cool as ice, had answers for everything and Marelic reluctantly closed the file on March 13, 2011.
