well made, high quality tool
I ordered this item knowing it was a little smaller than the typical fish billy. I wanted it to fit on my belt,in a flashlight holder. It is the size of a medium sized flashlight,with a good weighted tip. I use it as a backup tire thumper. It's always on my belt ready to thump something. The grip is nice,and the club falls naturally into the palm of the hand. Very nice,and well made item. Thanks. Shipping was quick and without any problems.

Great Bonker!
This fish bonker is a wonderful tool for this salmon fisherman! It's just the right weight to whack a fish, but light enough to put in the pocket of my waders. I have retired my mini-baseball bat from service now that I have this tool.
ProsPerfect weight and size to put in a pocket or waders or tackle box. Has a strap with retainer so you won't lose it over the side of the boat. Effective fish "interrogation" tool to find out where their bigger friends are hiding. (Hasn't worked yet, but hey, it doesn't hurt to try...)
ConsNone that I could find.

Liverpool legend Ronnie Whelan urges Chelsea NOT to buy Diego Costa after Spain 1 – Holland 5
Besides Iker Casillas and Xavi, the undoubted fall guy for Spain on Friday night in Salvador was Diego Costa.
Questions are being raised whether Spain needed a striker of Diego Costa's type and whether the Brazilian-born forward was correct to play for La Furia Roja.
Brazilian Spanish striker played 63 minutes before he was hauled off by Vicente Del Bosque for Fernando Torres.
On Ireland's RTE, Liverpool legend Ronnie Whelan went so far as to suggest that Chelsea should pull out of the deal to sign Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid.
It is widely understood that Chelsea have a transfer in place for Costa and the former Liverpool midfielder wondered whether Jose Mourinho may consider annulling any agreement.
Seems a bit harsh on one performance but it does seem clear that Costa is more suited to counter attack than Tiki-Taka.
Which should suit him at Chelsea then!

a VirtualTourist member from Lake City
My husband has to work in Boston MA for 2 wks. We will be arriving there on Jan. 21,'08. I know, this isn't the best time of yr. to be there but we figure that we'll get to see Boston on co. dollars!! My husband will be wking & I will be left to taking our 2 kids 7 & 9 around Boston. My question-- is it safe for me to take our kids to the Boston Common Frog Pond for ice skating during day?? I will be alone w. them & not part of any group. We will be riding the T from Framingham to there & I'll be dragging along their ice skates. I read somewhere that Boston Common (as w. any city park) can have some questionable sorts hanging around. Any help on this would be appreciated. Also, any cheap eats places around that reflect New England cuisine?? We're on a budget & need to watch the$. Our kids aren't too picky-- we're pretty open to any kind of cuisine- from Greek (our fav.) to Middle Eastern & all in between. Thanks!!

The screen itself is unharmed and as for the touch part, all still work fine.
This should be covered by the warranty I hope. Looks like a poor build quality. Only got the device for like 2-3 weeks. *sigh*
Should I flash it back to the stock rom? Since its running Dexter's Mod 1.3C now.
They only need to replace the plastic layer and maybe the touch part, idk.

The Miami Heat got stronger by signing Shane Battier.
The New York Knicks added Tyson Chandler.
The Los Angeles Clippers came to an agreement with Caron Butler.
The Los Angeles Lakers traded for Chris Paul.
No, wait. David Stern blocked that trade. Which was an absolute travesty, even if made me breath a sigh of relief because it kept CP3 off the Lakers.
The point is, several teams are being aggressive in their attempts to upgrade.
The Bulls, so far, have done nothing.
And although not every move is striking fear into my heart — the Heat taking a chance on Eddy Curry and the Milwaukee Bucks coming to terms with Mike Dunleavy Jr. spring to mind — I'd sure feel better if the Bulls seemed to be doing, well, anything.
Fact: Chicago's biggest Eastern Conference rival is the Heat.
Fact: Miami was already the better team — they proved it in the playoffs last season — and now they've added Battier, a quality role player, elite defender and great locker room presence.
The Bulls already struggled to score against the Heat. Now, as ESPNChicago's Nick Friedell pointed out, Miami can use Battier to guard Luol Deng and move LeBron onto Derrick Rose full time, while Chris Bosh can negate Carlos Boozer and Dwyane Wade can smother any player the Bulls can currently use at shooting guard.
Unless Joakim Noah spent the summer learning post moves from Hakeem Olajuwon, the Bulls are going to really struggle to score points against the Heat.
Now, more than ever, management needs to do something about the shooting guard situation. The match-ups versus the Heat are now far too lopsided for the Bulls to expect to win by trying harder.
Patience and careful thinking has served the Bulls well. But, assuming the goal is to win a championship, a bold and decisive move needs to be made.
Otherwise, the Bulls may as well concede ownership of the East to the Heat.

and employment testing company which has helped millions of people achieve their
goals by giving them the platform to showcase their knowledge and skills to prospective
employers. Respected and most trusted name in the field of online certification,
employer`s worldwide honor our online certifications and pre-employment assessment
tools when it comes to testing and choosing employees for their organizations.
Computer aided graphics is one of the most rapidly developing forms of art in today's society. Artists the world around are trading in their easels, paintbrushes, canvases, and pencils for graphic design software, and digital tablets.
As a result, there is a wide variety of graphic design software available on the public and the industrial sectors. By general opinion, Adobe Photoshop 6.0 is one of the most widely used, and best graphic design available. It is a fact that this is mostly a matter of opinion, many artists preferring alternatives such as Corel, GiMP, or other similar programs.
However, Adobe Photoshop 6.0, and its successive versions are the standard for the industry. In order to learn Adobe Photoshop, a general understanding of computers is necessary, as well as some background in art or a specific field of graphic manipulation of interest to the individual. However, it is not easy to learn Photoshop, if one is expecting just a prettier version of paint brush.
The simple fact is, Adobe Photoshop 6.0 is a complicated program with a large amount of features that are not obvious in purpose, upon first inspection. Someone with no experience in the software will be baffled by filters, anti-aliasing and other such graphical jargon. This is why obtaining an Adobe Photoshop 6.0 certification is important for anyone who wishes to work with the software.
There are other reasons beyond simple necessity for obtaining an Adobe Photoshop 6.0 certification, though. This is the standard graphical suite for the computer graphics industry as a whole. It is used widely by studios, companies for designing letterhead and logos for within their office and even for independent artists who sell their work.
Like with most technical skills, and Adobe Photoshop 6.0 certification will serve someone. Well, no matter what the job market and economic climate may reflect any given time. In the most dreary of times, people expect the most beautiful of art. This certification would serve to improve employability, artistic skills and an overall understanding of how graphics work on computers. This enlightenment could serve in a myriad of ways in opening up doors into more complicated and challenging fields in the worlds of art and computing. That said, one cannot go wrong with an Adobe Photoshop 6.0 certification – despite 6.0 not being the newest version of Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop 6.0 is an older version, but it is still widely employed, due to it having been around long enough for a wide variety of people to master, and document how to get full potential out of the software.
The best way to obtain an Adobe Photoshop 6.0 certification is through an online certification provider. Online certification, like Photoshop itself, offers a unique advantage in its field. Unlike classrooms, online certification allows a busy adults to learn on their own schedule, without sharing a classroom and teacher with a large group of students who may be too fast or too slow to allow them to maintain their comfortable pace. It is also far more cost effective.
It is important to note, though, that there are many online certification providers out there. Some are better than others, while some are cheaper than others. The startling fact, though, is that the best and the cheapest are in fact one and the same.
Brainmeasures is the most affordable, and best online certification provider in existence. Most online certification providers simply produce tests and courses that train a student on the intrinsic knowledge of any related field. This is all well and good, but knowledge without wisdom and experience is like a boat on dry land, and Brainmeasures knows this. This is why we work closely with experts who have years of experience in any field we teach to provide real-world experience for solving problems one might realistically encounter in any field of industry.
No other Adobe Photoshop 6.0 test can provide this fantastic edge, let alone at the price we offer.

Family With Triplets Fighting Cancer Seek A Temporary Toronto Home

If anyone knows of anything for this family
Family With Triplets Fighting Cancer Seek A Temporary Toronto Home
The Huffington Post Canada | Posted: 07/25/2014 11:37 am EDT | Updated: 07/25/2014 1:59 pm EDT
It's the kind of request no parent ever wants to have to make, but particularly for this reason — the Low family needs a home in Toronto for their children's cancer treatment.
The family, originally from Cardston, Alberta, consists of the two parents, Leslie and Richard, older child Benson, and their three six-month-old identical triplet boys, Thomas, Mason and Luke — all three of whom have been diagnosed with retinoblastoma, an incredibly rare cancer. As the triplets go for chemo treatment, as well as possible marrow transplants and radiation at Toronto's Sick Kids Hospital, they need accommodation for the three of them and four adults.
In their blog post on the topic, they write:
Does anybody have a condo in Toronto that they lease for 6 months time??? Or even better, does anybody know the Marriott family??? :) We aren't looking for a freebie. We are looking for a possible option that isn't a 12 month lease, and isn't $5000/month. You may think I am kidding, but a 6 month rental for a furnished 2 bedroom condo near the hospital runs $4000 - $5000 a month. We just booked their hotel for the chemo treatment in 3 weeks and it's $3885, for a 10 day stay...
The family came to attention in March thanks to the terrible rarity of their case. As it says on their family blog, there is a one in 1,000,000 chance of having identical triplets without in vitro fertilization, and the chances of all three of those boys having retinoblastoma is "unheard of."
Richard was able to help diagnose his babies on the advice of an eye doctor friend, reported Global News. After Richard had noticed the strange shape of Mason's pupil, he was told to take a picture and look for the red reflection. When he saw only white, he took Mason to a retina specialist and got the diagnosis. Luke and Thomas' conditions were found shortly after.
Retinoblastoma is the most common type of eye cancer in children, according to the Canadian Cancer Society, but still only occurs in one out of every 20,000 births. Early detection of the disease means a 96 per cent survival rate, though not necessarily the preservation of sight. The disease also varies significantly from case to case.
For the Lows, each boy's treatment is different, and therefore, potentially dozens of appointments in Toronto are needed.
If you have a place or ideas for this family of four adults and three babies to stay, get in touch with them at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I am in Virginia so I have no idea about housing.
My daughter was in the NICU that was 3 hours away from our home for a few weeks. The hotel that was across the street from the hospital gave HUGE discounts to families who had children in the NICU. Perhaps there is a hotel near them that does that if they can't find anything else.
Sadly, the cheaper you go in Toronto the more sketchy the area is. I wonder if they've looked into the GTA.
Hoping they find accommodations and praying for those babies!

Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice here. I am planning to do a quilt from the Eleanor Burns book - Quick Trip Quilts. I had first thought of doing the actualt TATW pattern - but after looking through the book I prefer the Quick Quarter Quilts. These are basically cut in squares but the pattern just runs on the diagonal - still strip and tube pieced. Her pattern calls for 12 1/4 yards of different fabrics to do a 45 x 52 crib size quilt. My question is this - probably a silly question unless I am expecting the quilt police to show up BUT - I want to do this but have 8 fabrics and don't want to add more. I think I can make it work if I just reuse two of the 8 fabrics again around the outside edges. Anyone with thoughts or advice with regard to this plan?

HOUSTON — Snack and soda makers that often are blamed for fueling the nation's obesity rates also play a role in educating the dietitians who advise Americans on healthy eating.
Frito-Lay, Kellogg, Coca-Cola and others are essentially teaching the teachers. Their workshops and online classes for the nation's dietitians are part of a behind-the-scenes effort to burnish the images of their snacks and drinks.
The practice has raised ethical concerns among some who say it gives the food industry too much influence over dietitians, who take the classes to earn the education credits they need to maintain their licenses.
"It's not education. It's PR," said Andy Bellatti, a Las Vegas-based dietitian who helped found Dietitians for Professional Integrity, a group of about a dozen dietitians who are calling for an end to the practice.
With two-thirds of Americans considered overweight or obese, the makers of processed foods have shouldered much of the blame for aggressively marketing sugary and salty products. Critics say companies use the classes, which are usually free and more convenient than other courses dietitians can take, as a way to cast their products in a positive nutritional light. Not to mention that companies often collect the contact information of dietitians to mail them samples or coupons, in some cases to distribute to their patients.
Food and beverage companies, meanwhile, say their classes are intended to inject perspective into the public debate over nutrition.
At the annual Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo, the industry offered several workshops on nutrition for the thousands of dietitians who show up there each year.
In Houston last fall, Frito-Lay explained to dietitians how it removed trans fats from its Lay's potato chips and other snacks. The makers of high-fructose corn syrup encouraged them to question a study that ties the prevalence of the sweetener to higher rates of Type 2 diabetes. And the company famous for its Frosted Flakes cereal taught about the benefits of fiber.
The matter of corporate influence isn't limited to dietitians. In 1997, the Food and Drug Administration issued guidance intended to address concerns regarding the role of drugmakers in continuing medical education for doctors. The guidance drew distinctions between ads and education, essentially stating that drug companies shouldn't influence the latter.
Those barriers don't exist between food companies and dietitians. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a professional group that's based in Chicago and has more than 75,000 members, governs the path to becoming a registered dietitian and oversees the accreditation for continuing education providers.
Glenna McCollum, president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said dietitians are trained to question any findings that might seem unsound. "Some of the information provided may need to be challenged," she said. "That's part of the job."
For registered dietitians, continuing education isn't optional. After earning a bachelor's degree in nutrition, completing an internship program and taking an exam, they must earn 75 credits of continuing education every five years. An hourlong class typically translates to one credit.
Education providers, which must pay a $250 application fee and a $300 annual maintenance fee thereafter, have to abide by certain standards. Classes must be based on relevant subjects and conducted by qualified personnel. But materials for individual classes are not prescreened.
Several organizations provide continuing education, including universities and professional groups. But the classes can be costly. The classes offered by food companies are usually online and free.
Deborah Myers, chair of the nutrition and dietetics program at Bluffton University, a small school in Ohio, estimated she spends between $700 and $1,000 a year on continuing education when factoring in travel.
She is reimbursed for professional development costs by her employer. That's not a luxury all dietitians have.
Companies say their classes provide nutrition information to dietitians.
Coca-Cola, which makes drinks including Dasani water and Minute Maid juice, offers about a dozen seminars each year through its Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness. On average, Coke said the live, hourlong classes get more than 5,000 participants. It plans to increase the number of webinars it offers each year.
Ben Sheidler, a spokesman for Coca-Cola, said the company's courses are based on independent, third-party research. He said Coca-Cola is acting responsibly by working to provide professionals with the facts surrounding its products.
Coca-Cola also said its surveys show the vast majority of participants in its classes find them helpful and "free of commercial bias."
But some say companies would never present information that doesn't serve their interests. Elizabeth Lee, a registered dietitian in Los Angeles and a founder of Dietitians for Professional Integrity, noted that the classes typically have a message that supports the company's products.
"It's getting harder and harder to really find something that isn't total baloney," said Debra Riedesel, a registered dietitian based in Des Moines, Iowa.

Buriram United sack coach Alexandre Gama, replace with Afshin Ghotbi
May 24, 2016 | Southeast Asia | | Photo : Getty|
Thai Premier League outfit Buriram United has sacked coach Alexandre Gama, official sources confirmed.
The Brazilian manager, who won the league titles twice with Buriram United, was replaced by former Iran national team head coach Afshin Ghotbi, according to reports.
Buriram United's decision to sack Alexandre Gama came after a string of disappointing performances that saw the team trail by as much as 8 points behind league leaders Muangthong United.
Previously, the Brazilian coach has guided Buriram United to back-to-back league titles in 2014 and 2015. His team also won the Thai FA Cup and Thai League Cup in 2015, as well as the Kor Royal Cup in 2015 and 2016.

(Movie Review by Jerry White) "Silmido" tries to be two things: a scathing indictment of an embarrassing footnote in Korean history, and a high-octane action blockbuster. This split personality — political treatise/money maker — creates a movie that is certainly watchable, but too inconsistent in tone to be either adrenalin pumping or emotionally captivating. The film opens in 1986, with the South Korean government conscripting a group of death row convicts into a the top-secret Silmido unit, whose sole purpose is the assassination of North Korean president Kim Il-Sung.
The first half of "Silmido" is an extended training sequence and follows the men as they train under the merciless gaze of the camp Commander, trying to endure not only physical pain but also the emotional turmoil of training camp cliché. Most of these can be categorized by montage sequences. For example: out-of-shape convicts can't keep up with the trainers, movie time passes, now their trainers can't keep up with them! And then there's this: the convicts are shooting at targets and missing terribly. Look! Now they're hitting the targets with ludicrous accuracy.
You get the picture.
The prisoners gradually shed their tough skin (actually, not too tough; they're pretty nice for convicted felons), do the bonding thing, and completely sacrifice their individual identity for the "cause." This is the upbeat part of the movie. By the time Assassination Day Eve arrives, the Silmido unit has been transformed into a single-minded killing machine. They're so well trained that the Commander decides to give them the night off so they can bond as all men do, by drinking alcohol out of a gigantic jug and pretending to be women, of course.
This was a pretty boring/disturbing scene, so I amused myself by listing, in my head, the order in which the major characters would die. I figured we would be branching off into Dirty Dozen territory soon. That's when I got a surprise. At the very last moment the mission is cancelled, but the Silmido troops are already in their boats and about to do a little suicide missioning. The Commander's men have to threaten the assassins with gunfire in order to get them to return.
The prisoners have become more obsessed with the mission than the military. And here's where the movie gets interesting. The now purposeless Silmido troops begin to revert back to their former ways. Training becomes lackadaisical and senseless, tempers short and dangerous. Even the commanding officers grow complacent; there is, simply put, nothing for any of them to do now that the mission, the sole purpose of their existence, has been taken away.
Things escalate until two members slip off base and rape a nurse, a scene filmed in a blas' manner that serves to remind the audience, if just for a moment, the kind of men they may have found themselves rooting for. And it gets worse. Things have settled down on the political front, so the original purpose of the Silmido troops has come to pass. The Commander suggests to his higher ups that they assign the unit somewhere else, but the government won't hear of it. They want the Silmido troops terminated.
This leads to one of the strangest action sequences I've ever seen. The two sides of the training camp — prisoners and soldiers — engage in a battle that neither side wants to happen. It's the government that's clearly to blame, and if we haven't gotten it yet, there's still another two or three epilogues left, ending in a standoff between the Silmido troops and the Korean army.
"Silmido" is not a bad movie. It's well made, and though the characters are paper thin, the acting is quite good. Unfortunately, it can't decide what type of movie it wants to be. "Silmido" is not realistic enough to be a convincing historical drama, nor does it have enough action to qualify as a slam-bang war flick. In the end "Silmido," much like the men it portrays, lacks identity.

Key to a buoyant market
For those who dread joining a fitness club or gym, a home with a swimming pool can prove an attractive choice. Swimming remains the country's most popular participation sport, with more than 3 million people regularly plunging into the pool, according to the Amateur Swimming Association. And with global temperatures continuing to rise, a home with a pool could also be a wise investment.
Preston Bennett has a number of "healthy" properties in its portfolio, to keep you fit with a swim and provide a relaxing poolside setting for entertaining family and friends. There are luxury two- and four-bedroom apartments in Stanmore Hall, Wood Lane, Stanmore, Middlesex, from £775,000 to £1.75 million. This grade II listed building was built in the mid 19th century. Each apartment has landscaped gated grounds with attractive views and there is an indoor swimming pool and leisure complex.

Fairfax County Police removed a skimmer device from an ATM at the Inova Fairfax Hospital Cardiac Care Center on Wednesday, after users lost likely thousands of dollars to thieves, they said.
Thieves likely attached the skimmer to the ATM in late August, authorities said. A customer spotted the device Wednesday and told hospital security, who called police.
Victims say their ATM card numbers were used to get cash from other ATMs, as well as buy groceries and expensive coffees.
Thieves use skimming devices to steal card numbers by placing them over actual card slots on banking machines. The devices often include a small video camera to record users entering their PINs. Police recommended that you cover the keypad when your other hand as you enter your PIN.
Financial crimes detectives are investigating four cases, but believe there may be more victims. Anyone who used an ATM in the lobby near the gift shop from late August through Sept. 12 should check their bank statements carefully.
If you see a discrepancy, call police at 703-691-2131 and contact your bank as well. You can also file an online report here.
There have been no arrests yet. The investigation is ongoing.

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- An improving economy coupled with a severe drought that caused increased feed costs for large birds generated a 4.8 percent surge in the 2012 PNC Christmas Price Index®, the whimsical economic analysis by PNC Wealth Management.

Based on the gifts in the holiday classic, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," the price tag for the PNC CPI is $25,431.18 in 2012, $1,168 more than last year. The CPI increased by a modest 3.5 percent last year following a 9.2 percent leap in 2010.
The 29th annual survey results were revealed this morning on an enhanced website (www.pncchristmaspriceindex.com) that includes an innovative worldwide gift hunt using the web. The website also reflects PNC's commitment to education by teaching economic trends through the PNC CPI.
This year, the PNC CPI's increase outpaced the government's Consumer Price Index, which stands at 2.2 for the past 12 months through September. The core index, removing volatile food and energy prices, is also at 2.0 percent.
"The rise of the PNC CPI is larger than expected considering the modest economic growth we've had over the past 12 months," said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investments for PNC Wealth Management. "Despite some weak spots in the economy, consumer balance sheets are improving along with consumer confidence, which means this may still be a spirited holiday season."
As part of its annual tradition, PNC Wealth Management also tabulates the "True Cost of Christmas," which is the total cost of items gifted by a True Love who repeats all of the song's verses. This holiday season is the most expensive year ever: very thoughtful True Loves must fork over $107,300.24 for all 364 gifts, an even more generous jump of 6.1 percent increase compared to last year.
Inflation Flag and Index Highlights
Much like the government's CPI, the PNC CPI also measures a Core Index – up a modest 2.6 percent this year - that excludes the Swans, which tend to be the most volatile in the index. Swans rose by 11.1 percent, continuing the momentum of last year's 12.5 percent increase, to $7,000.
Other Key Components Include:
The PNC CPI's sources include retailers, the National Aviary in Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia-based Philadanco and Pennsylvania Ballet Company.
Cyber Prices: The Cost of Convenience
For those True Loves who prefer the convenience of shopping online, PNC Wealth Management calculates the cost of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" gifts purchased on the Internet.
This year, the trends identified in the traditional index are repeated in the Internet version. True Loves will pay a grand total of $40,440 to buy the items online. That is 1.5 percent more expensive than last year and almost $580 more than this year's traditional index.
"In general, Internet prices are higher than their non-Internet counterparts because of premium shipping costs for birds and the convenience factor of shopping online," Dunigan said.
Special Present: Updated Website
For a historical look at PNC's index, the updated website can be viewed at www.pncchristmaspriceindex.com. The site includes an interactive scavenger hunt where visitors take a trip around the world to locate the 12 gifts of Christmas.
Each year, educators across the country use the Christmas Price Index to teach economic trends to middle and high school students. With that in mind, this year's site includes interactive activities, annual results and PNC CPI trends in a Flash presentation, MP3 downloads and much more.
Educators who visit the site will also find lesson plans on the Christmas Price Index from The Stock Market Game™ (SMG), a program of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Foundation for Investor Education (www.sifma.org/education). The enhanced activities are specially designed to help students identify economic trends and to project their impact on this year's Index, giving them the opportunity to make predictions and check their success against actual results. SMG is America's premier educational stock market simulation. Available in all 50 states for grades 4-12, the SMG program teaches children core academic and investment skills.

Yesterday brought this tweet up:
Friend got hired @NASA. Genders when you submit your prints for badges: "Male, Female, Male Impersonator, Female Impersonator, Transvestite"-- Laura Michet (@lmichet) July 12, 2016
This is amazingly bad wording, and is the kind of thing that made the transpeople in my timeline (myself included) go "Buwhuh?" and me to wonder if this was a snopes worthy story.
No, actually.
The key phrase here is, "submit your prints for badges".
There are two things you should know:
- NASA works on National Security related things, which requires a security clearance to work on, and getting one of those requires submitting prints.
- The FBI is the US Government's authority in handling biometric data
Here is a chart from the Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification, which describes a kind of API for dealing with biometric data.
|If Following Condition Exists
|Enter Code
|Subject's gender reported as female
|Occupation or charge indicated "Male Impersonator"
|Subject's gender reported as male
|Occupation or charge indicated "Female Impersonator" or transvestite
|Male name, no gender given
|Female name, no gender given
|Unknown gender
Source: EBTS Version 10.0 Final, page 118.
Yep, it really does use the term "Female Impersonator". To a transperson living in 2016 getting their first Federal job (even as a contractor), running into these very archaic terms is extremely off-putting.
As someone said in a private channel:
This looks like some 1960's bureaucrat trying to be 'inclusive'
This is not far from the truth.
This table exists unchanged in the 7.0 version of the document, dated January 1999. Previous versions are in physical binders somewhere, and not archived on the Internet; but the changelog for the V7 document indicates that this wording was in place as early as 1995. Mention is also made of being interoperable with UK law-enforcement.
The NIST standard for fingerprints issued in 1986 mentions a SEX field, but it only has M, F, and U; later NIST standards drop this field definition entirely.
As this field was defined in standard over 20 years ago and has not been changed, is used across the full breadth of the US justice system, is referenced in International communications standards including Visa travel, and used as the basis for US Military standards, these field definitions are effectively immutable and will only change after concerted effort over decades.
This is what institutionalized transphobia looks like, and we will be dealing with it for another decade or two. If not longer.
The way to deal with this is to deprecate the codes in documentation, but still allow them as valid.
The failure-mode of this comes in with form designers who look at the spec and build forms based on the spec. Like this example from Maryland. Which means we need to let the forms designers know that the spec needs to be selectively ignored.
At the local level, convince your local City Council to pass resolutions to modernize their Police forms to reflect modern sensibilities, and drop the G and N codes from intake forms. Do this at the County too, for the Sheriff's department.
At the state level, convince your local representatives to push resolutions to get the State Patrol to modernize their forms likewise. Drop the G and N codes from the forms.
At the Federal employee level, there is less to be done here as you're closer to the governing standards, but you may be able to convince The Powers That Be to drop the two offensive checkboxes or items from the drop-down list.

Bridge protests will continue in Bangor
Further protests are planned over the official naming of a bridge in Bangor, it has been claimed.
RESPECT, a group set up to retain Protestant culture across Northern Ireland, organised last week's protest at Boyne Bridge on the Brunswick Road. The protest was in reaction to a Department of Regional Development (DRD) decision not to give the bridge an official name.
The structure, which has been known for over a century as the Boyne Bridge, will not get an official plaque after a proposal was rejected by DRD. North Down Borough Council had originally backed a motion calling for the council to write a letter to DRD calling for one to be erected.
Last week's protest, which involved dozens of protestors, centred on what organisers claimed was an "attack on their Protestant heritage". Organisers say they will now be intensifying their protests between now and the July 12 celebrations.
A RESPECT spokesman said ordinance survey maps "have for many years shown the bridge to be called Boyne Bridge".
"We call upon the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, whose remit includes 'working towards the elimination of discrimination' to investigate this matter thoroughly and help protect and retain Protestant culture in North Down," they said.
A spokeswoman for the DRD said: "The department has received several previous requests to provide nameplates at several bridges within the North Down area.
"As explained on those occasions, Roads Service does not normally erect nameplates retrospectively to highlight the name of a bridge or other structure as this is not considered to be a good use of our limited resources."
North Down Borough Council would not comment on the issue but the Mayor, Councillor Tony Hill, said: "We passed a motion to write a letter to DRD calling for the erection of this plaque but it was refused. As far as I am concerned that is the end of the matter."

Traveling Light
The first time I took a trip abroad with my son, he was afraid that the tour group might include some handsome divorced father. As it turned out, it did.
"Good for you!" That's what I'd been hearing all the time in the past weeks. And, "Wow, who would have thought? At your age!" And this is because while you are reading this column (and the next two, also), I am in India - maybe still in New Delhi, shvitzing like mad as I thread my way among puddles of congealed filth and a sea of armless or legless beggars. Or maybe I'm wandering the alleyways of Dharamsala, shivering from the cold, sipping lassi in a cafe. Or maybe even - perish the thought! - I'm sitting and listening to lectures on Buddhism. There's no telling what level of pathetic-ness I'm liable to descend to in order to look good in the eyes of my youthful peers.
I'm writing this exactly a week before the flight there. I haven't yet found myself sitting cross-legged on the floor in the lecture section of the Lametayel store in Dizengoff Center. But there, as well as in the Maslul store, the outlet place in Jerusalem and in various branches of Orha, I'm already a familiar figure to the salespeople - the ones who keep saying, "Hey, good for you! At your age, it takes guts!"
Nothing is more devastating than this "good for you, at your age" comment, except perhaps, for the "youthful attitude" I've been hearing that I have, ever since I decided to travel to India. Once, at the Maslul store, another customer, with a pierced nose and a cute tattoo on her exposed midriff, even told me I was "way cool."
"You know," a saleswoman in Lametayel said to me, "more and more young people are inviting their parents to travel with them abroad. It's a different generation now, today's youth." I told her that I'd actually like to believe it was a different generation of parents, that I couldn't imagine myself at age 15, 25 or even 40, instigating, of my own free will, an opportunity to share my mother's company for more than a few hours. Not to mention my father for whom - to this day, nine years after he passed away - I still find myself combing the newspapers in an attempt to cull potentially suitable topics of conversation.
"No, no," the saleswoman insisted. "It's the young people who've, like, changed. Young people today are more open to the idea of taking a trip with their parents and it's great. I took a trip with my father, too, to, you know, Thailand."
"Sababa," I said, giving in. "But you all came out different, like, because you have these cool parents, you know, like me and like your father."
I remember the first time I took a trip alone with the son with whom I'm going to be traveling now. It was to Kenya, 13 years ago. I took the two of us on a safari, six months before his bar mitzvah. He was afraid that the tour group would include a handsome divorced father (which, as it turned out, it did) and that our trip together would be ruined. Now he informs me that he has no intention of letting me walk the streets of New Delhi alone. I'm hoping that his concerns stems from the thought that I might find an attractive divorced man there, or that it's because he hasn't forgotten about my innately poor sense of direction. But I fear that he's worried about something else: Maybe, say, that as "youthful" as I may be, I already need the protection of a young man like him?
"Don't pack silly things like makeup," my son wrote to me. "And maybe before the trip you also ought to get a haircut, something easy to manage. And don't bring more than a couple of books with you; there's no point in traveling the way you usually do with a whole library. And most important, bring as little as possible with you and do as little preparation as possible, so you'll be open to totally new experiences."
But for me, the preparation for the trip to India, as to anyplace else, begins with the nagging question of what to wear. I bought Crocs. Yes, I, who swore that those weird monstrosities would never adorn my feet, broke down. Just because one of the salespeople at Lametayel explained to me that in India, especially in the places I was headed - and by the way, my youthful attitude was really, like, amazing - I'd be best off with shoes that were washable and a bit more closed than sandals (such as those mountain-climbing types made of rubber with Velcro straps, hideous-looking but which, at a 70-percent discount, I'd already bought at Orha, since the salesman there explained to me that for traveling in the East, you need something that really supports the feet, especially at my age).
Afterward, I bought a camera, too, so I'll have a way to record all the new experiences that I'm supposed to be open to - i.e., me, at my age, without makeup, making my way in black Crocs past dung heaps and ragged beggars, and being way cool the whole time.
Good for me!

GOG - Interview @ Arstechnica
Arstechnica has a new interview from Wired.co.uk with GOG's Managing Director Guillaume Rambourg about DRM
I love GOG. I really do. I've always been happy to support them, and it's by far my most favorite way to own games online. I hope they continue to do well for a long, long time. <3
Much love, GOG. Stay strong.
My first choice for game buying too, I am looking forward to GOG being the DRM Free choice for many of the Kickstarted games coming out in 2014.
GOG is great, and I've found so many great oldies on there. It allowed me to introduce my son to gaming with the classics. I respect any distributor or publisher (like Paradox) who doesn't treat their customers as potential thieves.
I absolutely love GOG. I hope they can really become the main portal for indi games.
My number 1 online gaming store - DRM free, games downloaded on any web bowser, self extracting executables that are easy to back up without any download manager or third party online crapware, priceless classics and indies.
Wish them all the success and continued growth - I will continue to support them.
I try to buy anything that remotely interests me there. I have even bought titles that I already own the originals, such as the recently removed Fallout series, just to not have to worry about the CD.
I did think it was interesting that they do not see many accounts with more than a single download per game, showing that people are not sharing their accounts. I am glad that it is turning out that way. With more examples of DRM-free software not affecting sales, maybe others will start following suit.

Proposed Interstate 90 tolling
Uniform payment not based on usage
Islanders and mainlanders unite ["Activists revive group to fight I-90 bridge tolls," NWTuesday, Feb. 12]! Mercer, Vashon and Bainbridge islands are all served by parts of the highway system — those parts just happen to be bridges and ferries that transport over water, rather than highways that help people move over land. Despite this shared definition as equal parts of our "highway" system, they are taxed differently.
All ferries and a couple of bridges in Washington state charge the users directly with tolls. None of the highways do. It seems only fair that either all highway-system users pay directly with tolls when they use any of these three public resources, or all citizens of the state cover the complete costs for a system that is available for all — whether they use it or not.

I make no secret of the fact that I see development these days as more about orchestrating and delivering holistic business services than about writing code—although writing some code is still important, of course, for the components that make up the services. Which is probably why I find myself at PCTY2010 (PULSE Comes To You) in London, the road-show version of PULSE (Tivoli's User Conference) user conference. It's good to meet the movers behind Tivoli in person rather than by Webcast, no matter what "techie 2.0" thinks about wetware interfaces.
I'm talking to Snehal H. Parikh (Director, Tivoli Product Management, IBM Software Group) about systems engineering (which, to my mind, bridges the gap between business process automation and conventional computer applications). We talk about using ITIL as a framework for automated business service delivery, in a future in which conventional systems development and programming is just one option (used for systems which give real competitive edge) and most IT systems are obtained as rental services (using PaaS or SaaS, Platform or Software as a Service)—although I should note that although IBM is seeing some IT systems obtained as rental services today, with the trend growing, this represents only a minority of current systems. We talk about the vital need to break down existing silos: Development; Operations; Business Analysis etc. These are all more or less equal players in the delivery of automated business processes which deliver business outcomes in line with the strategic vision of business management. The days when an IT group could proudly deliver an expertly crafted, high quality application for an area of business which is being abandoned as non-profitable should be well past!
At this point, I usually point out that a computer program has no value until it is running in an operational schedule doing real work for the business. So, application "design for operations" is vital—applications must be easy to implement, robust and resilient in operational use, secure and fraud resistant, easy to tune in operation, instrumented for operational monitoring—and easy to decommission at "end of life". Since an application is presumably designed to deliver business value, if its failure to deliver the characteristics needed by Operations delays its production use, the delay costs real money, the lost business value the application should be delivering.
This is really risk management—there is a risk in putting an operationally compromised application into production; but there is also a risk in depriving the business of the application and the value it delivers. "Design for operations" is all about addressing the operational issues by design, so that a new application can transition into operation quickly, efficiently and effectively. Also, as we shall see later in this series, the "values" I've been tossing around are not quite as simple as I imply: a future value is worth less than a present value (partly because there is a risk that you won't get it) and an application program does have a value before it is implemented, just a highly discounted value, because the inherent value of a piece of software is only realised in the years of use by the business—while Operations are looking after it.
In Part 2 of this series, I'll look at what is happening to the security silo.

Im shivering a bit while watching the credits for New Vegas roll by, and its hard not to feel like I just finished the best game of this generation. Its also hard not to blame such high praise on the simple measure of its longevity. New Vegas took me 250 hours to finally put down, with most of that time spent playing my second character. Two-hundred and fifty hours, man. Think of the things I couldve done with that time.
What was it that kept me going? The small stuff. New Vegas has all the ambition, scope, and possibility that Bethesdas grandiose RPG engine can provide, but is written by the same staff that brought us the mature and detailed writing of Planescape, Baldurs Gate, and the old-school Fallouts. Its a stellar combination. Though New Vegas is almost the same game as Bethesdas version of Fallout, Obsidians interpretation of what it means to be an RPG couldnt be more different. Just note how many more dialogue options you have with a light switch than you do with Ulfric Stormcloak.

During an interview today with Vatican Radio, the Secretary of the Vatican's Congregation for Clergy, Archbishop Mauro Piacenza, clarified that bishops around the world have not been granted "automatic" powers to defrock priests, but only the capacity to proceed more speedily in cases that were not considered by the current Code of Canon Law.
The new powers granted to bishops were announced by a letter sent to all episcopates from Cardinal Claudio Hummes on April 18 and are aimed at filling some legal voids present in the current Canon law. The archbishop explained that they are not a "blank check" to automatically defrock priests, as some members of the Italian press have recently claimed.
The changes authorized by Pope Benedict XVI allow bishops to proceed with the laicization of priests only in some cases, such as when a priest leaves the ministry by his own will; when he asks the bishop to be dispensed from the commitment of celibacy; or when a priest leaves the priesthood without telling the bishop and enters into a civil marriage, has kids and "is not interested in solving his canonical situation."
"In those cases, for the good of the Church and his own good," Archbishop Piacenza explained, "the power to give a dispensation to the priest is requested as an act of charity, especially if he has children, since the children have the right to a father in good standing with the Church."
"In these cases, it is the bishop who has to take the initiative," the archbishop added.
Nevertheless, he clarified that "there is nothing 'automatic,' there is no 'automatism' in the timing of the cases, each case has to be carefully and rigorously examined."
"All the other rights and duties of the bishops in exercising their juridical authority remain unchanged," Piacenza continued.
"On a daily basis, the vast majority of priests live according to their own identity and carry on their own ministerial duties faithfully. But in few cases, the Holy See has to intervene in a subsidiary manner, to repair the scandal, reestablish justice and help the sinner amend his course." the archbishop explained.
According to the new regulations, the bishops can begin the procedure to declare the loss of the clerical state for those priests who "have attempted marriage, even if only civil," and "after the proper warning have not made changes." Also the bishop can proceed in cases where the priest is "guilty of grave external sins against the sixth commandment," which is: "You shall not commit adultery."
"Priestly celibacy," Archbishop Piacenza concluded, "is a gift that the Church has received and wants to preserve, convinced more than ever that it is good for herself and the world."

Something about those demons at the bottom that I love. They are simple, and easy on the eye to read into. The devil looks like a different style altogether. The water stains work with the color, makes it look like a fireball up top.

I love the textures in this piece and how it all looks so rough and dirty.
Haha nice man, thanks for your comment once again (:
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This is pretty cool. I like it a lot. The overall appearance is very old and grainy, such as the texture, but it works for it.
Ha yeah, personally I love the texture.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
mixed feelings
First off, I would like to say that you did an amazing job on the ghosts! They are colored well, and look very dynamic. Great use of perspective, too!
Yet the thing that bugs me would have to be the devil. The anatomy is way off, and I think it would have been nice if you used more than just black for his coloring.
Overall, I think its very good though. Great job!
You're right. Honestly I think there's a lot more that could be improved haha. Thanks for reviewing (:

nice job... not superb... and its old... so props!

Phakisa, Free State - The South African round of the World Superbike championship, provisionally scheduled to be run at Phakisa Freeway on 19 October, has been dropped from the 2014 calendar - but could be included in 2015, possibly as early as March.
This was announced on Friday by Sivile Mabandla, chairman of promotor Gas Sports, which also runs the SuperGP National motorcycle racing series.
"Despite our best efforts and significant investment in the planning for the 2014 World Superbike meeting," he said, "work at Phakisa Freeway required for FIM homologation had to be halted while the Free State Tourism Authority, the custodians of the circuit, formalised their additional funding requirements.
"We will continue to work with the Free State Tourism Authority, and other invested stakeholders, in an effort to secure an early date in the 2015 World Superbike series with rights holder Dorna.
"While we are naturally disappointed the 2014 meeting will not be possible, we thank the Free State government for their efforts; we've seen their funding applications and we know the event is well supported by all stakeholders."
The Phakisa round of the SuperGP National series, which was to have provided the supporting events for the World Superbike round, will still take place at the Free State circuit on 19 October, as the penultimate round of the championship.

I just bought a new Jeep, and the owner's manual says that all tires, including the spare, should be replaced after six years, regardless of condition or use, to avoid sudden failure. I don't remember seeing this recommendation before. The spare in my last Jeep is now more than 10 years old. Should I replace it? What is the reasoning behind this recommendation?
TOM: What's the reasoning? Well, the Goodyear pension plan is seriously underfunded.
RAY: Actually, it's about the deterioration of the rubber. If you take a rubber band and toss it in your kitchen drawer, when you go to stretch it a year later, what happens? It's all dried out, and it breaks.
TOM: There's a similar, though much slower, process happening with your tires. Over time, the ozone in the air degrades rubber. Just from being in Earth's atmosphere, tires dry out, crack and, eventually, fail to hold air.
RAY: So how did they come up with a six-year rule? Well, it's somewhat arbitrary. They looked at a number of factors: the rate at which rubber decays, how the average person cares for tires, data on tire failure and tire sales numbers. They put it together and came up with a guess of six years.
TOM: Your tires may last longer or may fail sooner. But it's a reasonable guess that errs on the side of safety. And in reality, most tires use up their tread in less than six years. So it's only an issue for people who don't drive much and for spare tires that don't get rotated into the mix.
RAY: You may have a little more leeway with your spare since you're not actually driving on it every day. But in an emergency, if you were forced to use it, you'd have to drive slowly and carefully, and replace it as soon as possible. If it were me, I'd replace a spare that's 10 years old.
TOM: And speaking of replacement tires, you now have one more thing to think about at the tire store. Like bread and milk, you now have to make sure your tires are "fresh."
RAY: If tire manufacturers are telling us that tires have a six-year shelf life, regardless of use, then you don't want to buy tires that have already wasted a year of their useful life stacked up in a retailer's showroom or an overheated storage trailer.
TOM: One of the numbers printed on the sidewall is a four-digit number, like 1711. That means the tire was made in the 17th week of 2011. Maybe they should take a lesson from milk and give us an expiration date, too.

Creditors should get a better idea next week whether they will recoup any money from the cash-strapped 2006 world field lacrosse championships held in London last summer.
The tournament's books have been turned over to a trustee in an effort to collect outstanding funds and whittle away at a debt of more than $200,000 among what's estimated to be up to 50 creditors.
The tournament's financial struggles have sullied what culminated in a crowning on-field achievement for Canadian lacrosse -- this country's first gold medal over juggernaut United States in 28 years.
"It's been overshadowed," Canadian Lacrosse Association general manager David Miriguay said. "It's unfortunate what happened and it's in the hands of the trustees now. There are definitely negatives to this, but people shouldn't forget there were positives, too."
Many of those positives, however, are intangibles for the city, such as television exposure, international visitors and increased traffic in bars, restaurants and shops. There is no immediate way to gauge local and national impact exposure to lacrosse had on potential players.
"The fall marks the end of our season so the numbers of new players that would've been attracted to the sport from the world championships won't be counted until this coming year," Miriguay said.
The CLA will also play host to the world indoor lacrosse championships in Halifax and the under-19 women's world field championships in Peterborough this year, as well as the 2008 under-19 men's world field championships in Coquitlam, B.C., next year.
Muriguay said the national sport body has learned some valuable lessons from the London experience. In addition to managing the event, the local organizing committee led by Tim Hobbs agreed to assume all expenses for the Canadian team (estimated by one source to be well above $100,000) and to help boost marketing and advertising revenue potential.
"It's a lot of responsibility because if you figure out what it costs to put a team on the field, then you're starting the tournament (that much) in the hole," Miriguay said. "Then, you have to sell a lot of tickets to make up for it or have someone bail you out and that didn't happen. Other events that came to London were bailed out. But not this one."

I got some Ambootia Darjeeling here. It was served in a glass mug with an in cup strainer packed with probably a tablespoon of tea. A lot for an 8-10 ounce cup. The water was about boiling at least and I think I let it steep a bit long looking for some more color in my cup. It was a bit bitter.
But that I chalk up to my error as they give you the cup with water and the infuser with tea and control over steeping time is up to you! The tea was good quality I believe, despite the bitterness. I wish I had had time to stay longer. I'm sure this would have been more than up to a second steeping.
Would love to come back and try a crumpet as well. They make them fresh there in the store.

You can check out the entire piece at this link. It took tables ladders, chairs and a pair of handcuffs, but Randy Orton walked out of the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view the WWE world heavyweight champion. The third generation performer was able to defeat John Cena in a hard-fought battle between longtime rivals. I think what made the win all the more impressive is Orton did it without any help. There were no run-ins or screwjob endings. It was a relatively clean finish. Well, as clean as you can get in a TLC match. He used his environment and his resources, making the most of the no disqualification stipulation.

ST PAUL Despite the holiday season, the Edmonton Oilers couldnt wait to leave home Tuesday, especially considering there was little Christmas cheer at Rexall Place.
After playing so well and winning all five games of a recent road trip, the club came crashing back to earth in the form of four consecutive losses at home.
The worst took place Monday getting hammered 7-2 by the St. Louis Blues, a team attempting to climb out of the Western Conference cellar themselves.
The big thing for us, is that we have to get back on track, we cant have Christmas come early, said Oilers center Sam Gagner. This is a huge game for us, we have to go into the break feeling positive about the way were playing. That comes from a full 60-minute effort and getting off to a good start and coming out with the win.
Wednesday the Oilers will try to regain their road warrior ways when the take on the Minnesota Wild at the Xcell Energy Center in their final game before the Christmas break.
It wont be an easy task for the club that currently occupies the final slot in the conference standings. The Oilers havent won a game in Minnesota in nearly three years.
They play a different game than they used to, Gagner said. I think the big thing for us is to get back to playing way the have on the road lately, keeping things simple, getting the puck in deep and trying to create some energy on the forecheck. I feel like maybe we got away from that a little bit and if we can get back to that, maybe we can fill some holes up.
Whatever happened on the road, stayed on the road for the Oilers as they failed to build on their momentum in their return to Rexall Place.
There were moments of inspiration from the club during their recent four-game homestand, but were unable to sustain a strong effort throughout 60 minutes.
This has been a tough stretch at home, conceded defenceman Tom Gilbert. All we can do is take the momentum we had on the last trip and try to do that to Minnesota. We have to simplify a lot of things, losing four games at home, this is not acceptable, although there were a lot of games we played well enough to win at home and just came up short in a couple of them.
The mood heading out on the road was of sharp contrast to the one coming in after winning five straight away from home.
Back then, the club was feeling good about their record-breaking accomplishment and were looking to continue the trend as the home team.
Yet, losses to Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators, Washington Capitals and Blues have the Oilers in and even worse position than they were before they embarked on their previous road trip.
Its hard to say what was different at home than on the road, said Gagner. If we had a solution for it, we obviously would try and implement that. I think the biggest thing for us is to continue to push forward and get better every day.
One of the few things the Oilers can find solace in, is the fact the last time they were humiliated, they responded with their five-game winning streak.
A loss like the one against St. Louis challenges their character, much like the one in Vancouver did prior to heading out on their extended trip.
You have to try and grab confidence anywhere you can, Gagner said. Obviously we had a good streak going after our last bad loss hopefully this lights a fire under us.
"It probably shouldn't have to come to that, but hopefully we can get out of this funk, step forward and have a huge game.
