Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: lawman
a) Pre-moderation. All threads would require moderator approval before public posting.
b) Voting and public moderation. There would be a system where posts could be voted on by users. You would be able to set your own "twit list" level where messages below that level would not be included.
c) Members only. All members would have to log in.
d) Subscribers only. All members would pay a subscription fee.
Which one would you vote for and why? (one vote only please)
B) voting system.
aka: karma system or just /.
Also Banners are not one of the options on the table.
Not expenses per say - but time. This has become a full time job for me. That has been at the expense of other projects.
Just imagine if the place takes one minute more per day than it did the day before. Now do that from my join date.

I know I will probably get slatted for this but I certainly wouldent object to advertising. Webmasterworld would be very hot property for advertisers seeking this type of targeted user. ISP's hosting companies etc etc. Just my opinion though.
<edit> You answered the advertising part as I was asking it. </edit> oops!
One option is that commercial Exchange could be converted into an area where people who are facing problems and need immediate help could post and get response within 24 hours (something on the line of google answers). Since most of the members are online daily, most of the time so quick answers won't be a problem either. The money thus earned shouldn't go to members but to maintenance of the ww site.
I am ready to do some volunteer work for which charges can be paid to webmasterworld. I am sure there'll be many other members who'll volunteer too.
I wonder what the monetary value of SERP's gained in the recent update is - from all the advice gained here - for free.
Brett- perhaps if their was a way that members could be more aware of sucking up resources we could maybe avoid some things...
Maybe banning me from clicking recent posts every other blink would help a little
Apart from the financial aspects;):
There's the problem of community management. How do we ensure the board is run smoothly?
With so many active threads, which need to be watched constantly, with so many different aspects of working on the web, with so many different people with different interests and from different backgrounds it's certainly a demanding task to get this running as fine as it does.
Then there's the noise factor.
Complaints from more experienced members about the same questions being discussed over and over again. Read a little back here in Community and you'll find some of that.
The sheer quality of information here is what sets this board apart.
Openeness to me is a great value. I certainly feel the diversity of the membership and the openess towards people from all areas of the web is one of the great assets of WebmasterWorld.
But nevertheless the above mentioned issues have to be addressed.
I'd be interested in seeing how you all think the options listed by Brett would relate to these issues.
b) An interesting idea, a la Ebay...and one that I've wondered about. You run risks with it though. Sometimes a "lame" post results in some wonderful responses. Sometimes folks just don't like each other and will score anything they say low. I don't know how this would improve your situation though, seems like it would only cause more work in implementing and maintaining it.
c) Is bandwidth a problem? Because otherwise, would it make a huge difference? I mean, do lurkers pull that much from the board? If so, then I would see this as a decent solution. It's not THAT much of an issue to register somewhere.
d) I think if you want to define yourself as a high-end discussion only, then this would be the way to go. It would also cut out the repeat questions. (Because newbies that want to know the basics will just go to other boards that are free.) On the down side, there are plenty of other free boards with quality info, so you may suffer a membership loss to them. It depends on where you set your membership level.
I'd be in favor of further discussion of C and D if I were a mod or admin here.
The Internet is changing and the free lunch is just about over. Used to be when searching for technical issues one could find all kinds of sites just brimming with answers or suggestions. These days you see a teaser and then a link that says to see the rest of the article please login & pay. This is becoming more & more common.
here's a new abbreviation ICBW (I could be wrong- borrowed from D Miller).
1 - Targeted banner adds
2 - Read only for lurkers (and SE)
3 - Premoderation for new registrants
4 - Full posting privileges (whithin TOS) past 10 posts
5 - Access to private forums where link exchange, affiliate programs trade and site reviews would be allowed to paying members. (banner free in not too complicated to program)

Sounds OK from here. Maybe to address the poor country issue you could define these countries and reduce or eliminate the fee (hmm... by IP address... or something verifiable on the application form?).
I vote for D!
Let's face it, this board is designed to aid the Webmaster professional! My income is higher partially in part to WebmasterWorld. (Yes, I admit it!)
I think that all posts should be readable by the public (Even if it requires a free membership to cut down on server resources.) Charging a reasonable fee for posting is fair game.
Also, charging for a "posting membership" will certainly reduce spam.
For those that cannot afford a membership, I'm sure they will continue to benefit from the public area.
Banners, blah why taint the place. I think if someone wants to advertise in yer little space where the opera banner rotates in than sure, but nothing like full banners.
Yes, there is a lot of repitious material on the site, even in the little amount of time that I have been a member, but that repition is not always bad and I approach it as a friendly reminder. If you already have it in your head, then pass over it and ignore it. Simple.
There is only one option to take. e) Advertising. It is about time that all of your hard work pays off. Get faster servers, bigger dbs and the like. Never abandond a user base. They make the place what it is.
What ever the option chosen is, remember to never push away the loyal members with some insanely stupid idea. Advertising is not stupid and pays the bills. Have a hosting company sponser the site! They provide it for free as long as they have their icon on all the pages. Remember, a lot of the people here are webmasters and need a hosting option at some time.
Just some suggestions.
First of all it's important that the performance of the moderation system currently used by webmasterworld is optimal. Observe your behavior as a moderator. What are the big time eaters? Can the repeating tasks be automated? The keyword here is usability. If you can isolate the problems and post it here, people here can maybe come up with very good solutions.
Second, when 99% of your moderation time cannot be automated anymore, and you still need more time to do the job properly, it's time to look for other alternatives. You always lose the old quality level when turning to mass-moderation. I think that the personal touch of the single moderator is invaluable. Their subjective approach is what this what makes this forum tick. So you need to control the number of users on this forum. Before we discuss the options for that, i'm interested in the usability of the webmasterworld moderation system. Can it be improved?
Allow only those who pay to have the ability to post. Then allow the general public to view the discussions after a certain time period. That way paying members only would see the most current discussions.
It would be important to find an alternate payment method besides credit card for those who do not have one.
There is only one option to take. e) Advertising.
And who goes out to sell the advertising? Who does the invoicing? How much are ads to a pretty small audience worth? Should Brett spend more hours every day selling ads that bring in a penny an impression?
I think there are good reasons why Brett has said ads are not an option.
We use it - we pay for it. Works for me.
a) Pre-moderation.
Pre-moderation smacks of censorship ... which has never been a favourite thing of mine, but I can understand the necessity in some instances. I think perhaps some additional "Terms of Use" may help lesson the load for moderators rather than pre-moderation.
b) Voting and public moderation.
As one who has fallen into the "twit list" category more than once, I believe I might be offended by such a system and stop posting altogether. If that's is what the majority want, I think it is an effective way to reduce "noise" levels. I know I would certainly stop posting.
I also believe that even twits may offer some valuable contributions from time to time. It would be a shame to lose that input.
c) Members only/Login.
All for it!
d) Subscribers only.
I'd be happy to pay! I think most would.
Option F:
Start a new board for newbies (in the same format as this board, with at least one "sage" moderator) so that the less experienced may ask and answer newbie type questions ad nauseum. Perhaps some canned answers could be formatted for this purpose. (There are some instances when site search just doesn't answer newbie questions in a language a newbie would understand.)
The WebmasterWorld forum could then move up a notch to "members/subscribers only" and keep the riff raff out. Membership to WebmasterWorld would be by invitation only. Perhaps a secret code breaking question would be the entrance exam.;)
But think about it: we have reps from worlds leading SEs here, we have members controlling literally thousands of sites, people working for top SEO outfits - and we have members just gone online with their first couple pages.
I for one am very very reluctant of restricting the board to any group of people.
Seeing that all those different voices and needs meet here, to me is - said it before - one of the great strengths here.
But I also see the issues mentioned above need addressing.
Highly doubtful that it can be improved. Speaking as a mod, the moderation system here is unreal. We can move posts and leave a "post moved" notice behind with just a couple clicks of the mouse and so forth. I won't spill the beans on some of the other tricks and treats we have in the mod system but suffice to say the system itself is not a bottleneck. I can literally move a move/delete a post and stickmail the member in question in about 30 seconds (20 second of which is typing the stickymail).
The time consuming part of being a mod is due in part to the fact the board is just so freakin huge now. Being a mod here doesn't dominate my day but I can see how it the concerns of the community can chew up Brett's days.
I'll admit to the fact the the spamming has slowed down and bit over time and we are known for our no holds barred approach to it but that said most of you wouldn't believe the amount we still get. The fact of the matter is that most of it is nuked within 60 seconds and you don't ever even see it.
I know - not much in the way of a comment on what option we should choose - just trying to share some insight about moderation duties here.
It seems as though the google boards are cluttered up with the same questions time after time.
I thik anyone should be able to ask a legitimate question - and I hate logging in, but maybe block people from posting more than one question until they can be approved...
I don't know - I am not sure what takes up the time around here - there are probably things that get take off before we can ever see them. So it is hard for me to say.
I think ever thing works out pretty well, so maybe if we understood more what the problems were - we could better make a vote. I really don't like any of the options, I wouldn't MIND any of them - I just think they would hurt the overall popularity of the board.
And who goes out to sell the advertising?... ...Should Brett spend more hours every day selling ads that bring in a penny an impression?
Don't sell on impression, there are other ways! First you need to determine how much the next years hosting is going to cost. That should be fairly easy to figure with experience already recorded. Then base everything off of that + a few extra. The advertiser would come to you. Are you telling me that not a single soul has approached Brett to advertise on the site?? And I also, had another idea there that I though was pretty decent.
Have a hosting company sponser the site! They provide it for free as long as they have their icon on all the pages. Remember, a lot of the people here are webmasters and need a hosting option at some time.
It is going to take time no matter which way you try and solve the issue.
Nevermind e) is a no go!
Membership is a definite go.
Pay subscription is a ?. The main question would be how much. While I would not be willing to pay $20/mth, I would be willing to pay $20/yr.
d) Subscribers only. All members would pay a subscription fee.
Happy to pay a yearly fee for such a great resource.
>>I'd also suggest a row of small links at the top of each screen (in bold): GOOGLE FAQs, YAHOO/DMOZ FAQs, NEW MEMBER FAQs, etc.
Good idea as well.
>>Perhaps a selection of the more useful threads can be put on public display with a 'more detailed information for subscribers' link like Danny's site?
Excellent idea!
Brett has given so much of his time freely, I think it is about time the board pay for itself.
Of what i read in your post, i think you already showed some things that can be improved. For example: the 20 second you need for typing the sticky mail can be 2 seconds if you have standard templates.
You're always satisfied with a system till there's something beter. No offence, but i just don't believe WebmasterWorld has the ultimate moderation system.
But, as you said, somewhere down the line the moderators are going to get out of eye-ball time. But on short-term i think you should investigate the usability with a fresh perspective.

Dear Desktop Engineering Reader:
The thing that I like most about VISTAGY is that it specializes in solving early and throughout the process all those hard-to-do product design, definition, optimization, and communications jobs that are vital to such industries as aerospace, automotive, transportation interiors, and wind energy. Their "do it early and do it often" approach is spot on for creating efficient manufacturing enterprises that will compete in the modern global marketplace. VISTAGY's recently announced SyncroFIT 2009 is a perfect example of this.
The cliff-note description of SyncroFIT is that it's a family of specialized engineering applications for designing and manufacturing airframes and large aerostructures. But more than that, SyncroFIT is a tedium slayer and process enabler.
Airframes have millions of joints, fasteners, and interfaces. SyncroFIT automates their specification, validation, and management. Working inside of your CAD system, it loads parts you need from catalogs with a single click, eliminating manual part entry and saving endless hours of work. It has multilevel visualization capabilities ranging from a quick peak, so to speak, to visualizing potential interferences and on up to assemblies populated with solid model representations of all the fastening hardware.
What this all means—for one—is that it eliminates costly delays by making the process more efficient. For two, remember that it works alongside your CAD system early in the process of defining fasteners and interfaces. So, its true value is that it enables engineers to find, repair, and reduce the amount of those initial design errors that cause costly and time-wasting engineering change orders later on.
Beyond these, um, let's call them mechanical features, the whole idea of SyncroFIT 2009 is to enable you to set up a standardized process for defining and verifying compliance with design rules throughout the development process, including communicating with your supply chain. This, in turn, makes design reviews more efficient and ensures that your suppliers know, for example, that changes have been made. Both of which not only save time, but help ensure that your product is manufactured properly.
SyncroFIT 2009 can be used by itself or in cahoots with VISTAGY's AeroSuite, which is a complete enterprise system for aircraft manufacturers. You can learn more about SyncroFIT 2009 from today's Pick of the Week write-up, but I suggest that you hit the link to the registration-free self-paced tour. You can also sign up for some on-demand webcasts that are pretty enlightening.
Thanks, Pal. — Lockwood

The slip resistance
Industry experts estimate that slips, trips and falls account for nearly 15 percent of all workers'' compensation claims, with the average cost of injury reaching almost $19,000.
Fortunately, the following easy steps can help prevent these costly accidents.Institute a safety policy
A workplace safety policy should not only help employees recognize hazards, but also provide details on managing and preventing such hazards.
Should an accident occur, promptly file an accurate incident report and take steps to prevent future accidents.Eliminate the hazards
The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) reported that approximately half of slip and trip accidents result from wet, unclean, or damaged surfaces. To avoid these accidents:
- Clean spills promptly. Use floor fans to help wet areas dry quickly.
- Mark potential problem areas with hazard identification signs immediately.
- Treat smooth surface floors with a non-slip finish, or use slip-resistant rubber mats. Be sure to anchor all rugs and mats to the floor.
- Secure cords, cables and hoses to the floor. Avoid placing objects in front of doorways, across hallways, or in high foot-traffic areas.
- Avoid over-waxing floors, or leaving cleaning solution residue behind.
- Ensure employees wear shoes with a high coefficient of friction. Slip-on traction soles are available as well.
- Check lighting to ensure proper illumination in all areas.
Maintain compliance through continual reviews and employee education — the real keys to a successful program and a safe work environment.

Duchscherer has successful procedure
A's right-hander can resume throwing in a few days
By Jane Lee / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- An A's spokesperson on Tuesday confirmed that Justin Duchscherer's scheduled nerve ablation procedure "went well." The A's right-hander will rejoin teammates at Phoenix Municipal Stadium on Wednesday but is not expected to begin throwing again for a few days. Duchscherer, 31, underwent the procedure at the Arizona Center for Pain Relief to calm an irritated sacroiliac joint, which connects the base of the spine to the pelvic bone. He was bothered by the same problem last year while rehabbing from minor elbow surgery and received three cortisone shots for the joint, which stopped responding to the treatment. Thus, the ablation process, as described by Duchscherer on Sunday, burns off the nerve ends of the SI joint using radio waves to produce heat that destroy the nerve and relieve the pain. The burnt nerve eventually grows back, so it's possible he will have to undergo the operation again if the discomfort resurfaces. The two-time All-Star, though slightly nervous about the procedure, insisted that it's a minor setback and recovery time usually varies from one day to one week.

Cheap Richard III tickets at the Rose Theatre
The Show
This autumn the Rose stage will be transformed into a battleground for The Wars of the Roses, a gripping distillation of four of Shakespeare's history plays, directed by Trevor Nunn, one of the world's leading Shakespearean directors.
A spectacular theatrical event not seen since it was first produced at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1963 by Peter Hall & John Barton, The War of the Roses trilogy of plays covers one of the most tumultuous and intriguing periods of British history - the 15th Century conflict between the House of York and the House of Lancaster for the throne of England.
Through these plays Shakespeare examines the very essence of human conflict. A tale of feuding families, murderous kings and adulterous queens, scheming and betrayal, revolts and battles, The Wars of the Roses chronicles the final struggle for power in medieval England.
See all three plays in a day, see the three plays over three days, but don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Shakespeare at his very best
The Story
So often presented as a standalone drama, the third play in the cycle is the climax of Shakespeare's great chronicle of the fifty-year conflict between York and Lancaster, between roses white and red.
Ruthlessly ambitious Richard, wicked, mischievous and still in his twenties, murders and betrays his way to power. The tortured, tragic Margaret – abused by Richard as a 'withered hag' – is the self-same beautiful princess whose story we have followed throughout these plays. The ghosts that haunt the king before the final decisive Battle of Bosworth Field are all the leading characters of this epic story, returning for their final utterances.
With crushing finality, we witness the very last part of Shakespeare's gripping saga, the conclusion of his game of thrones.

Detroit Chrysler Fiat plant employee dies in accident
Donald Megge of Sterling Heights died when he was crushed during the first shift at Fiat Chrysler's Jefferson North assembly plant on Detroit's east side.
"It was a real bad accident in the plant," said Carl Chambliss, whose brother works with Megge. "I asked him what happened and he said it was an accident, some guy got crushed some type of way. That was all the information they knew because they were keeping people away."
According to the United Auto Workers, Megge was an 18-year millwright and wastewater operator. He died while doing his job providing regular preventative maintenance at the plant.
Megge, was working alone when his body was discovered at 6:30 a.m. about an hour after he started his shift.
In a Statement from UAW - Chrysler Vice President, Norwood Jewell said:
"Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family, friends and all those who worked with UAW member Donald Megge .."
And in a Statement from Megge's employer:
"All of the FCA family extends its deepest sympathies to the employee's family during this difficult time."
A Chrysler spokesperson said that they are conducting an internal investigation as well as Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration which is conducting an investigation.
The Detroit police homicide unit is also investigating, which is standard anytime someone is killed in an occupational accident.
FOX 2 stopped by the families home, there were many there, grieving, but none want to comment at this time.
"He was a good guy," Chambliss said. "Everyone is grieving."

In the last set of texts sent the OW told me that my F told her he wanted her and not me. He swears he never said that and the evidence supports his story as the OW admitted she asked my F to marry her for a green card and he refused. He says he refused because he didn't care enough about her to help her stay in the country and because he loves me. I know him well enough to know that he goes all in when he wants someone and the fact that he didn't help her get the card tells me she wasnt they important.
For the past two months of R he has been accountable, attending therapy with me and really understanding of my fears and worries. Still I hang on her saying he said " it's you I want not her." My IC says whether he said it or not the evidence suggests he wants me given all he's done to show me he is rebuilding. The only thing he ever did was help her move after dday and I was furious but after that he went strict NC and we've been working since. Just need to stop being hung up on the OW saying he said he wanted her. I mean she could have lied.
[This message edited by anonymous823 at 5:17 PM, June 28th (Friday)]
I was just contacted by the MOW last week after 7 months of NC and she too said my WH was only staying with me because he is afraid I will commit suicide. It's been so long since I did that and I have put him through the ringer and he is still by my side fighting for me and for us.
The OW do not want to know that they were used so they make up an excuse to relieve the blow of being rejected.
I say if your WH is doing the work and is with YOU and there is NC established with the OW then try to see some of those words as her way to make you feel bad. I wonder what she thinks those words mean to her now? Now that she no longer has your WH to talk to about anything. She is on the outside of your M now.
So painful..those words that may have been spoken during an affair. It haunts me also and I'm 4+ years out. I know my husband said things to her that would have kept the affair going. I just try to focus on that fact that they are nothing more than echos from the past. If the words he spoke were true or had any meaning behind them he would be with her today. Just keep moving forward and when you slip into that painful place remember it's behind you now.
what my ic wants me to accept is that yes, he most likely did say a lot of nice things to her...he was in an affair...and maybe at the time he did feel those things. that i needed to accept that as part of his affair. i have to look at what he is doing now, and how he feels about her and our m...now. the other thing she wanted me to understand is that you cannot ever really spend much time believing what the ow says. no one is going to want to admit that they were being used by a married man. no one. the ow will always want to be relevant, and say and do things to prove that. but the bottom line is that he is with you, and not her. and if the relationship he had with her was that deep, he would be with her...period.
it hurts i know....but maybe this is a way to look at things. i know it has helped me a little.
Always, tell the other BS! Always!
"It's hard to be in love when you can't tell lies"!
@LoveActually- thank you for your comment and hug :). You're right about the words not having very much value since he's working with me and with me.
@Sri- thank you for your response,it helped a lot. The point you made about the words having just been a part of the affair was especially helpful. It hurts still but if I look at it that way, it means so much less.
@fourever- I'm glad this thread and the comments from the ladies could help you too. I'm so happy they shared their wisdom because it was driving me crazy!

Someone has to have a bass they'll trade!
Hey there,
I have a Fender ANTIGUA jazz body, new 2012, loaded, MIM.
Just about mint condition. Loaded, it's at 6.6 lbs. When I had a neck on it, the total was just over 9 lbs.
70's pickup spacing.
asking $350 shipped within the continental U.S. or trade..
I have my classified posted here on TB..
Thanks !
Is the SRX still available? Sending a PM ...
The seller evidently never checked back. I get sick of crap like this on musician forums and on Craigslist. In the past month I've replied to three CL Bass For Sale adds and have gotten back ZERO responses.
Bass had been sold.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|30 nights
Charming 2 bedroom Victorian apartment completely remodeled, close to hip restaurants and shops on Fillmore, Marina, and the Divisadero corridor. Only 3 blocks to UCSF and Kaiser, walking distance to Golden Gate Park and Bridge. Old SF charm coupled with modern amenities, remodeled kitchen and bathroom. It also has a rare use of a charming enclosed outdoor courtyard. Access to onsite washer/dryer. Quiet yet all the shops, restaurants, and life SF has to offer is within a few blocks.
I have been advertising on VRBO for 3 years and have had wonderful experience receiving guests from all over the world. My other VRBO rental, 319405, has had great reviews and many have enjoyed their stay there. I now have this property, which I think is in a great location and is wonderfully charming. I hope many guests visit San Francisco at this wonderful location and enjoy the many San Francisco culture that are within walking distance. I really enjoy providing my guests with a great place to stay while they get a taste of my favorite city in the world!
This property is part of a 5 unit Victorian building. It is very charming and the location is great for people touring San Francisco or needing place to stay while working or being treated at UCSF or Kaiser. The bathroom and kitchen have been remodeled to accomodate the discerning travelers. Despite its proximity to all the great restaurants on Fillmore and Presidio Heights, this location is very quiet with ample parking on the street, a unique situation for San Francisco.
This building is 3 blocks to UCSF and Kaiser, and therefore, would be more than convenient for students and professionals needing residence while working at the hospital. For those professionals, it is also beneficial in that it is close to all the life amenities that San Francisco has to offer including the shops and restaurants on Fillmore street, Japan town, Golden Gate Park and Golden Gate Bridge. It is also a charming Victorian, traditional style of San Francisco without the difficulty of living in one. The location cannot be beat but at the same time, it is very quiet and residential.
Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend this apartment. The location is good and there are shops within 10min walk. The apartment had all we needed as a home from home.
We had no problems at all, and so did not need any contact with Sonia.
If visiting in August I would say take a few jumpers or hoodies to wear in the evenings. Otherwise they is penalty to do in this beautiful city. Enjoy.
The property is in a great location with bus services around the whole city available. Walk to Union Square in around 40mins and Fillmore Street in 10mins. There are plenty of hip places to eat and drink on Fillmore. Parking is also manageable. We had a car for the week and didn't need to pay for parking once - you just have to be smart in where you park. Shopping for groceries easy with Target and Trader Joes just a few blocks away.
The property itself provides all the basics. It is an old building and the effect is shabby chic - with perhaps a little more shabby than chic. It was moderately clean - not bad enough to complain but not immaculately presented. The broken drawers were replaced mid way through our stay and the leaky sink seen to promptly. Sleep quality not helps with the beds being very creaky and the the noise from the road is substantial with old sash windows not doing much for noise insulation and the blinds letting in a lot of light.
For the price it was a good bet as things can get very expensive in SF - especially when looking for accommodation for a family of four. The owner was efficient and business like in dealing with enquiries and issues.
Sonia's apartment was spacious, clean, all necessary equipment supplied. Ideal location close to restaurants, shops, and regular bus service. Sonia was very helpful when contacted about a few issues. We really enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend this apartment.
5 of us ladies enjoyed staying at this older apartment that has been well kept. It was in a nice area, and we walked almost everywhere. When we didn't walk, the bus stops are just a block or so away. Sonia is great to work with...always responds quickly if you have any questions. All the rooms are very usable and the kitchen had everything we needed to make a meal. I live in the country where it's really quiet, so it took me a night to get use to the street noise, but that is the only problem I had (using a fan with it's noise helped a lot). A couple of restaurants we liked were Pizzeria Delfina for dinner (where we got hooked on Affogato) and we liked Sweet Maple for breakfast, both just a short walk away. Fillmore street is a fun place to walk around. Speaking of Affogato...if you like coffee...go to the Blue Bottle (we went to the one in the Ferry Building) and try an Affogato...oh my gosh...soooo good!!! Actually brought tears to one of my friends eyes...lol.
I stayed in this apartment for 5 months while I worked at UCSF and the place was perfect! It was a great location, everything was walking distance or a short cab ride. Sonia was also very accommodating as well if we needed anything at all! It was an amazing place and would recommend it to anyone!
The flat was great. It was exactly as posted on the website. Fillmore street was a lot of fun.
3 blocks from UCSF, Kaiser, short walks to restaurants and night life, shopping, walking distance to Golden Gate Park and Golden Gate Bridge

Hundreds of naked selfies and intimate pictures were found on a batch of 20 Android phones bought through eBay and tested by researchers.
A factory reset function appears on the smartphones, but standard forensic security tools can retrieve deleted information from older devices.
The researchers said they found more than 40,000 photos, including 750 photos of women "in various stages of undress" and 250 photos of male anatomy.
Details of the person's residence could also be traced using EXIF data embedded in the image file.
Four of the phones tested included the previous owners' identity in the file data.
One Reddit user said he had been contacted by someone who bought his phone, saying they had extracted "embarrassing" images from the device.
The factory reset function on older Android devices wipes the index that points to the locations where data is written, but forensic tools can still directly access storage areas.
Google has said that more recent versions of Android are harder to crack.
That is because phones running Android 3.0 onwards offer a setting to encrypt the phone using a cryptographic key generated from a user's passcode.
A reset will then delete the key, rendering the data unreadable.
Newer Apple iPhones and iPads encrypt data by default using a software key which renders all data unreadable after a reset.

Details of The Doobie Brothers and the Ticket Luck value
The Doobie Brothers are an American rock group. They have sold over 20 million albums in the United States from the 1970s to the present.
Original incarnation
In 1969 Tom Johnston and drummer John Hartman formed the nucleus of what would become The Doobie Brothers. Skip Spence introduced them to one another after Hartman arrived in California determined to meet Spence and join an aborted Grape reunion. New bandmates Johnston and Hartman called their fledgling group Pud and experimented with different lineups and styles as they performed in and around San Jose.
In 1970, they teamed up with bass player Dave Shogren and Patrick Simmons. Simmons was already an accomplished fingerstyle player whose approach to the instrument complemented Johnston's rhythmic R&B strumming. In a recent interview, Tom Johnston attributed the band's eventual name to friend and housemate Keith "Dyno" Rosen.
Michael McDonald years
By the end of 1974, Johnston's health was suffering from the rigors of the road. He was absent when the band joined the Beach Boys, Chicago and Olivia Newton-John Rockin' New Year's Eve". By then, the western-themed Stampede had been completed for release in 1975 . Simmons contributed the atmospheric "I Cheat the Hangman," as well as "Neal's Fandango,". Ry Cooder added his slinky slide guitar to Johnston's cowboy song, "Rainy Day Crossroad Blues."
Reunion years and beyond
The Doobies hibernated for the next five years, reuniting in different configurations only for annual Christmas season performances for the patients and staff at the Stanford Children's Hospital. Simmons released a fine but commercially disappointing solo album, Arcade, in 1983. Knudsen and McFee formed Southern Pacific and recorded four albums that found success in the country charts. Out of print for decades, Arcade was reissued on compact disc in early 2007 by specialty label Wounded Bird Records. McDonald became established as a solo artist. His voice dominated adult contemporary radio throughout the eighties, though his star faded in the nineties.
Simmons collaborated with bassist and songwriter John Cowan on a project that remains unreleased. When the band emerged yet again for a 1993 co-headlining tour with the partially reunited Foreigner, Porter and Hartman had exited for good but veteran drummer Knudsen and guitarist McFee had rejoined as permanent members. As a sideman, Cowan played bass in 1993 and 1994. With renewed energy, the band began to experiment with different arrangements of several tunes. They even sampled McDonald's songbook from time to time, eventually restoring "Takin' it to the Streets" to the set on a semi-permanent basis with Simmons and bassist Skylark subbing for McDonald. Bumpus and McCracken stepped in as sidemen on occasion.
To date, four members of the Doobies family are deceased: LaKind in 1992; Shogren in 1999; and Bumpus in 2004. Drummer and activist Keith Knudsen died in 2005. Former Vertical Horizon drummer Ed Toth was selected to fill Knudsen's drum seat as the band soldiered on.
Given the history of turnover, the current version of the band has proven to be remarkably stable in its core membership since 1993. It features one-half of the four original members - Johnston and ever-present Simmons - plus veteran drummer Hossack and longtime guitarist McFee.
They are supported by Skylark on bass and vocals, keyboardist Guy Allison, and Marc Russo on saxophone. With Hossack, newest member Toth keeps the trademark double-drummers driven sound going. The group continues to tour heavily and remains a popular concert draw. In 2005 and 2006 they headlined benefit concerts at manager Cohn's winery in Glen Ellen. They have maintained a continuous and active presence on the Internet through their official website since 1996.
Since 1996, The Doobie Brothers have been eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but have yet to be nominated.

Variable Structure Control and Applications
Call for Papers
Variable structure control (VSC) is a well-known solution to the problem of the deterministic control of uncertain systems since it is with the complete insensitivity to the system variations if parameter variations satisfy certain matching conditions. In the last decades, the ideas of the VSC and switching control are successfully applied to the practical industrial systems, for example, mobile robots, electric drives, a rigid spacecraft, underwater ships, and many other mechanical systems. More recently, by combining with other control methods, the discontinuous controller in VSC is widely employed in many practical applications and theoretical analysis. Until today, there are still many advances in theoretical developments and practical application aspects, and also many challenging issues to be solved.
The main focus of this special issue will represent the state of the art in theoretical developments and industrial applications of variable structure systems (VSS) and sliding mode control. Some other applications of variable structure control in engineering are also encouraged. The special issue is to summarize the most recent developments and ideas in this field and the emerging trend of cross-fertilization and integration of VSC with other control methods. It will become an international forum for researchers and particularly attempts to identify the perceived directions for graduate students. The topics to be covered include, but not limited to:
- Theoretical developments in VSC
- Higher order and terminal sliding modes
- Sliding modes for matched and unmatched uncertainties
- Output feedback and robust control with a variable structure control
- Sliding mode control in discrete time and difference systems
- Digital variable structure control with pseudo-sliding modes
- Combined adaptive and variable structure control
- Combined intelligent and variable structure control
- Variable structure control applications in industrial robots
- Practical aspects in industrial applications
- Other applications of variable structure control in engineering

Despite all of the books, websites, and blogs dedicated to redefining the word "feminism"- evidently, there are still many people who associate feminism with the same time-honored stigma that has been attached to the word since women were "burning their bras in the 60s." Maybe it's time now that people wake up and realize that feminism is not just for raging man-haters- but for women of all shapes and colors who simply want to be treated like first class citizens. Perhaps this awakening should start with the self proclaimed non-feminist celebrities who simply don't understand feminism.
On May 6th Flavorwire came out with a list of "Non Feminist Celebrities Who Owe Their Careers to Feminism" Some of the names on this list surprised me- especially those of strong women that I had always looked up to as a kid. One big shocker on the list was Madonna. I mean come on! This classic female icon seems to eat sleep and breathe feminist ideals. She owns her own entertainment company god-dammit! And she promoted sexual freedom in her MTV- banned music video for "Justify My Love," subsequently criticizing MTV for being hypocritical as "male artists were able to show music videos on the channel that contained sexist and violent imagery." Clearly this is a woman who detests double standards and yearns for gender equality. Still, the artist is guilty of using the classic "I'm a humanist, not a feminist" defense. Madonna, if you are a humanist, which implies that you care for all human beings, wouldn't that also mean that you desire basic human rights for the human that is a feminist. Feminists want human rights for all women. Wouldn't feminism be a subgroup of humanism, then?
Another perpetrator of this cop-out excuse is sadly one of my faves- Sarah Jessica Parker. Flavorwire sums it up perfectly – pointing out the irony in how "the entire message of the show on which Parker built her entire career is that women's relationships with one another are just as, if not more, important than long-term partnership." Sex and the City is exalted for its depiction of dynamic, independent, relatable women who have sex (hence the title) without being married. It's frustrating that a woman who clearly upholds certain feminist ideals can't just take the leap and call herself a feminist!
The prize for the most unexpected "non-feminist" however, goes to ex-Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor. This is a woman who "went from being a Stanford Law graduate who couldn't land a single interview on account of her gender to being the country's first female Supreme Court Justice." Evidently, this is a woman who dealt with a lot of sexism in her day and had to work twice as hard as any man in order achieve anything. She however, believes she is not a feminist because "she didn't go march in the streets' and she'd rather be known as a 'fair judge and a hard worker."Again we are confronted by this negative connotation of the word feminism.
Reputable women with the potential to really push the movement forward not only refuse to be associated with feminism but they also belittle it. This is something I like to call "the burning bra complex;" the classic myth of women burning their bras at Woodstock is etched into peoples minds. Rather than associating feminists with everyday women who want social equality, reproduction rights, equal pay, and the ability to walk down the street without being harassed, people often hear "feminist" and automatically think "crazy, radical antidisestablishmentarian, man-hater, lesbian."
Maybe this misinformed definition of feminism isn't the fault of the celebrities, but the fault of us already established feminists for not spreading the word more aggressively! It's our job to help get rid of this stigma and show people that feminism is not an ugly word, but an empowering one!

This is kind of curious because this album actually gets less extreme as it goes on. The opening handful of tracks are surprisingly brutal; very extreme death/thrash loaded with blast beats and aggressive riffing. As it moves along though, something begins to shift; melodic, Gothenburg-inspired riffs begin to infiltrate along with a more traditionally thrashy style of composition. It becomes much less interesting when this happens, of course.
Anyway, Mortuary's style flickers between a more brutal, death inspired variety of thrash and a more melodic, Gothenburg-style one, and the mixture works rather off and on. Mortuary makes the sort of good but ultimately harmful decision to separate the styles pretty distinctly; the more brutal and more melodic tracks don't tend to intersect at all, which is good because Mortuary probably isn't very good at combining the styles, but it also gives the album a rather uneven, confusing feel. The band does attempt to ameliorate the problem a little bit by making the more brutal style flow into the more melodic, but it still makes the listener wonder what exactly the band's angle is. Additionally, the band's music really isn't exceptionally interesting in either mode, so I guess it's sort of a crapshoot either way.
Well, scratch that, the more brutal stuff is kind of interesting. It's weird to hear what's otherwise a pretty traditional style of death/thrash overdriven in such an obviously brutal way (real aggressive, drum-dominant production, very straightforward song structures, etc.); it doesn't really mean anything in the end but it's a nice curiosity for a few tracks. The problem is none of the riffs or song structures really have enough to them to make them really worthwhile listens, which comes out very obviously when the brutality drops out and the band leaves the riffs to do the talking: they don't have anything to say.
This doesn't suck but it's ultimately inconsequential and not necessary for anyone to listen to. I got it for like $3 which is about as much as you should ever spend on it. There's worse stuff but at the same time you can at least learn stuff from the really bad shit; this doesn't teach you anything. It just sits there which is possibly the worst thing a metal album can do.

September 24, 2007
President Bush and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced recently that before states could further expand their State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP) beyond 250 percent of poverty; they would have to enroll 95 percent of children below 200 percent of poverty, says the Wall Street Journal.
The usual liberal precincts claim to be enraged:
- Governor Jon Corzine declared that New Jersey would unilaterally disregard the HHS rules and "vigorously continue" to enroll at 350 percent of poverty -- the highest ceiling in the country.
- And he'd do so even though about 119,000 New Jersey children under 200 percent of the poverty line remain uninsured -- although the state spends 43 percent of its yearly SCHIP grant insuring adults.
For several years the number of uninsured New Jersey children under 200 percent has held steady, while New Jersey's SCHIP rolls have grown by about 10 percent a year, says the Journal. One major reason is that the state continues to enroll families with incomes up to $72,275.
What's more, this public coverage is mostly substituting for the private variety. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research:
- The crowd-out effect for SCHIP is estimated to be at 60 percent, meaning that in order to cover four new kids the government is paying for six more who already had private insurance.
- This effect is even more pronounced at higher income levels; nationally, 89 percent of children between 300 percent and 400 percent already have private coverage.
Governor Corzine could always tax his own residents to pay for this largesse. Then again, New Jersey already has one of the worst tax burdens in the country. For the governor, the political beauty of SCHIP is that it allows New Jersey to finance its spendthrift ways on the backs of more responsible states.

I previously said I didn't have much on Jonathan BROOKS of Madison Co., KY. I found that I do, in fact, have quite a bit on him.
He was b. Nov. 27, 1762, most likely in VA. He was in Botetourt Co., VA in 1787, and m. Margaret Reyburn there in 1789.
They were in Madison Co., KY, by 1796. They had one son, Thomas (wife's name was Elizabeth Davis), and four daughters; Jane m. Wm. Brock, Nancy m. Jeremiah Powell, Polly m. Isaac Oliver,and Charlotte, unmarried at the time of her father's death, but later m. Clark Rice.
Note the reference to Jeremiah, although he was not a BROOKS; he would have been an uncle to Thomas' offspring. Thomas was known to have had at least one son. Sorry, but his trail goes cold at this point.

Maglan Laizer's life has been filled with milestones.
Like when he helped kill a lion near his home village in Aruscha, Tanzania, a part of the Masai tribe "coming of age" process. Or when he came the United States in 2008 with little more than his wife, daughter and a bit of money to pursue the American dream.
On Friday, Laizer, a 30-year-old Navy seaman apprentice, added being part of the largest-ever all-military naturalization ceremony to his milestones list when he got his citizenship aboard the USS Midway Museum.
"I feel so proud, because I made it," said Laizer, who is stationed at Camp Pendleton after enlisting in 2009.
About 300 people who emigrated from more than 50 countries received their citizenship during the Friday event, said Marie Sebrechts, regional media manager for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Military personnel generally go through the normal naturalization process, but they don't have to pay the $595 application fee or have their green card for five years before applying.
Sebrechts said the military naturalization ceremonies are touching, no matter how many she has attended.
"The most exciting thing about today is we have people here protecting our independence, and they're not even citizens," she said.
A crowd of uniformed service members — flanked by friends, family and decorated war veterans — watched ballet and choir performances and speeches from high-ranking military officials until Judge Ruben Brooks declared them to be Americans.
The new citizens formed wide smiles, hugged and gave thumbs up to their loved ones after Brooks led them in an oath of allegiance.
Following a final song — "Proud to be an American" sung by the Sounds of Freedom Choir — the citizens left with certificates proving they're Americans, and the admonition from Navy Vice Admiral D.C. Curtis to challenge themselves to achieve success.
The ceremony confirmed the American spirit that Kennedy James, a second-class Navy personnel specialist on the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, said he has felt for a long time.
James, 38, left Nigeria for Inglewood in 1974 and didn't speak English when he arrived. He joined the military 11 years ago looking for some discipline in his life and never looked back.
"I've been in the states for quite some time, and now I really feel like I'm a part of the country," he said. "I don't even have an accent anymore."
Now that he's a citizen, Army Sgt. Muhammed Shareef, 29, is looking forward to furthering his military career and expects to continue serving for a long time.
Shareef knew after he saw the movie "Top Gun" as a child that he wanted to be in the military.
He's been in the Army for 10 years, joining after he moved to San Francisco from the Fiji Islands about 16 years ago. He said getting his citizenship now is "an amazing feeling."
Angeline Bautista said words couldn't fully explain her emotions. The 23-year-old boatswain's mate has been in the Navy for only a few months after joining other family members in the U.S. from the Philippines in 2007.
"I'm happy," she said. "When we did the oath taking … you could feel that you're really a citizen of the U.S."

survey of Mason and Dixon Line
Between 1763 and 1767 the 233-mile (375-km) line was surveyed along the parallel 39°43′ N by two Englishmen, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, to define the long-disputed boundaries of the overlapping land grants of the Penns, proprietors of Pennsylvania, and the Calverts, proprietors of Maryland. The dispute arose over conflicting claims to the territory from the Delaware River...

Review for Heaven on Earth Society for Animals Inc, North Hollywood, CA, USA
These people are tireless and so dedicated! With their help of trap loans and transport help (on the days we couldn't do it) we were able to get a five-cat colony fixed on our street and they remain very healthy today. I shudder to think what would have happened to those poor kitties without Heaven on Earth, probably they would have bred until there were dozens and dozens of cats leading to misery all around.

Guardiola's side return to the final of the Champions League after his side secure a 3-1 aggregate win earning their place on the Wembley turf.
Barcelona overcame Real Madrid 3-1 on aggregate to become the first team to secure their place in the Champions League final at Wembley.
The Catalan side took the lead in the 54th minute through Pedro's strike, largely thanks to Andreas Iniesta's glorious through ball, only for Marcelo to equalise ten minutes later.
Los Blancos were unable to complete the task billed as "mission impossible" as Barcelona completed their journey to yet another Champions League final.
Real Madrid started brightest in the opening exchanges as they searched for an early goal, Cristiano Ronaldo in particular, began well as he looked to emulate one Lionel Messi.
As the game grew in stature Barcelona began to find their customary rhythm, and when Angel di Maria was caught in possession near his own penalty area Andrea Iniesta found room to shoot but the Spanish international dragged his effort wide.
Messi then found the ball at his feet with space around him for the first time and proceeded to surge forward only for Ricardo Carvalho to commit a professional foul earning the Portuguese man the night's first caution.
Both Lassana Diarra and Gerard Pique earned defensive admiration when they put in vital challenges to halt the progress of Messi and di Maria respectively as the game began to become more open.
The Blaugrana were exerting their supremacy on the tie as the Madrid players began to chase shadows and should have taken the lead when Sergio Busquets evaded his marker only to direct his header from six yards straight at a grateful Iker Casillas.
Cristiano Ronaldo's promising start had quickly cascaded but when he peeled away from Dani Alves in the box the Portugal international had a chance to bring the ball down. Instead, though, he tried to lay it off first time with his shoulder to no avail.
Barca resumed their dominance and in a frantic ten minute period Real Madrid were left questioning how they were not behind.
Lionel Messi came inside and looked to bend an effort out of Casillas' reach but the Spanish No. 1 was equal to it, and despite an initial fumble he held on to it on the second attempt.
The Argentine then brought down Dani Alves' cross with class oozing from his every touch, the second took it beyond Xabi Alonso and Raul Albiol but his third saw him uncharacteristically drag his effort wide of the far post.
Casillas was forced into another fine save moments later when the irresistible Messi played in David Villa who shaped to curl it in the far post only for the Spanish stopper to throw a left hand to keep Real Madrid in the tie.
Barcelona showed their prowess with smart passing inside Real Madrid's penalty area and was only brought to an end when Messi's shot was palmed away by a sprawling Casillas.
The second-half saw los Blancos look to break the deadlock and they thought they had when the ball fell to Gonzalo Higuain who made no mistake in steering the ball beyond an onrushing Victor Valdes only for the celebrations to be cut short because of the whistle.
Javier Mascherano had gone to ground clutching his ankle following a touch from Ronaldo which proved enough to earn an important free-kick for his side.
And soon after los Blancos found themselves a goal down, and seemingly out of the competition. Andreas Iniesta took a moment to compose himself before threading a sublime pass through to Pedro who finished with aplomb to give Barcelona the lead in the 54th minute.
Real Madrid responded by introducing Mesut Ozil and Emmanuel Adebayor to the fray as they went in search of the three goals that they required to keep alive their European dreams.
Los Blancos found themselves level soon after when di Maria took the ball past Mascherano, the No. 22 then crashed an effort against the upright but upon its return to di Maria he played it inside to Marcelo, whose first time finished pulled the Madridistas back into the tie.
Despite the capital's clubs best efforts they couldn't find a second goal which would have had their opponents reeling in the final stages of the match, as Barcelona secured another Champions League final.
There was a late appearance for one, Eric Abidal, who was greeted with rapturous applause from everyone in the stadium after this his first game since his operation to remove a cancerous tumour.
Barcelona will wait to see who they will face at Wembley on the 28th May, with Manchester United facing Schalke in the second leg tomorrow night, with the English side taking a 2-0 advantage back with them to Old Trafford.

Recently, leading general-use vehicle rental company Avis Budget Group Inc. (CAR - Free Report) announced that Avis Budget Car Rental Funding LLC – its wholly-owned subsidiary – has completed the offering of $550 million five-year asset-backed notes (ABS) carrying an annual interest rate of 3.08%.
The proceeds of the ABS will be used to refinance the outstanding vehicle debt maturing in 2014. According to Avis Budget, the interest rate on the ABS is lower than the company's existing interest on vehicle debt. However, it is higher than the interest rate of the previous year's offering.
Last year in March, Avis Budget had completed a $750 million ABS offering carrying an interest rate of 2.6%. The company used the proceeds to refinance the outstanding ABS debt maturing in 2012 with an interest rate of over 6%. The offering generated savings of about $20–$25 million in interest expense in 2012.
Borrowing costs are still very low, enabling companies to obtain easy financing. Corporate bonds and borrowings from banks are in high demand as the U.S. treasuries are yielding low rates. We believe that the aforementioned moves by the company will provide it financial flexibility to drive long-term growth.
As part of its efforts to reduce interest expenses, in Aug 2013, Avis Budget modified its principal corporate revolving credit facility, extending the maturity to 2018 from 2016 and increasing the amount to $1.65 billion from $1.5 billion. Further, it reduced the interest rate under the facility by 75 basis points (bps). The company had $1.1 billion of outstanding letters of credit and no borrowings under the facility as of Jun 30, 2013.
Earlier in June, the company refinanced its $900 million term loan borrowings (due 2019) with $1 billion in new term loan borrowings due for the same period. It also lowered the interest rate on the loans by 75 bps. Further, the company redeemed all the outstanding 9.625% senior notes worth $124 million, maturing in 2018 and $100 million worth of its floating-rate senior notes maturing in 2014.
Along with second-quarter 2013 results, the company projected interest expenses pertaining to corporate debt to be nearly $230 million, decreasing $30 million from the 2012 level.
Avis Budget Group provides vehicle rental services through its Avis and Budget brands in more than 10,000 rental locations in about 175 nations across the globe. Additionally, the company's newly acquired Zipcar brand enables it to provide car-sharing services to more than 790,000 members. The company oversees most of its car rental offices in North America, Europe and Australia directly, while its offices in other parts of the world are primarily operated through licensees.
Currently, Avis Budget carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). Hence, we would prefer to avoid Avis Budget until there are signs of improvement. Meanwhile, other stocks that are worth a look include Cardtronics Inc. (CATM - Free Report) , Command Center, Inc. and comScore, Inc. . All of these carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

LORAIN — An employee of Brush Wellman Engineered Products was crushed to death Sunday night in a casting machine.
Matthew Salisbury, 30, of Day Drive in Lorain, was pronounced dead at the scene following the accident, which occurred at about 10:50 p.m., said county Coroner Paul Matus.
"He died as a result of acute trauma," Matus said. "His injuries were obvious and fatal."
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Toledo office is investigating the accident.
"He was inside a machine and got pinned," said Dick Tracy, the agency's assistant area director. He said it was too early to say how the accident occurred.
Salisbury's wife, Jennifer Salisbury, said a co-worker told her he saw the whole thing.
"The machine was broke down — it was clogged — and he was trying to unclog it," she said.
When her husband became pinned, someone turned off the air compressor that powered the machinery, but it was too late for the first aid co-workers tried to administer, she said.
Jennifer Salisbury said medical personnel said her husband died instantly. Her husband also is survived by two sons, Daniel, 11, and David, 9.
Salisbury, an operating employee at the plant, died while working on a vertical continuous caster that makes various shapes of metal by pouring liquids into molds, Brush Wellman spokesman Patrick Carpenter said.
"We're conducting a thorough investigation of the cause," Carpenter said.
"The company's employees are greatly saddened by the loss of one of our employees at Lorain," Carpenter said. "Our thoughts are with his family and we are reaching out to the family."
There have been no prior deaths since the factory at 7375 Industrial Parkway opened a decade ago, he said. The factory produces specialty alloys used by other companies to make bearings and other components for commercial aircraft and parts used in oil rigs and underwater oil production, he said.
"Until this tragic incident, the plant achieved more than 2,000 continuous days of having no injuries that caused an employee to lose work," Carpenter said.
Demand for Brush Wellman engineered products has been so great the Lorain plant is operating seven days a week,
24 hours a day, Carpenter said.
Jennifer Salisbury said her husband started working at the plant in April 2006.
"He was a good dad who loved his job and he loved pool," she said. "He was really good with his kids and liked playing baseball, football and video games with them."

Thanks for purchasing Anthony's Beehive honey. If a packet of clover seed was included with your purchase, then you have a simple opportunity to help honeybees in your area.
There are many different types of clover. The one included with your honey purchase is White Dutch Clover. This is the clover that often appears in your lawn and that many people view as a weed. In realty, it adds nitrogen to the soil and is an abundant nectar producer. This is the honeybees' favorite flower. It is a biennial, meaning that it has a 2 year life cycle. It is a hardy plant, but does tend to dry up and go dormant once the weather becomes very hot.
You can plant clover seed nearly anytime, but fall and spring are the best. Choose an area that will receive full sun. Also choose an area where the land owner will not treat it like a weed. Either that, or re-educate the landowner that this plant is beneficial and is not a weed. A weed, after all, is simply a plant growing where we don't want it to grow. If someone wants the plant, then it is not a weed! Some suitable locations are lawns, parks, grassy areas, pastures, etc....
The seed can be planted by broadcasting in over the area you have chosen. The seed in your packet should cover 10 or 20 square feet. Rake or water it in if possible, but nature will work it's magic even if it is just left on the surface. After a heavy rain or prior to an anticipated light rain are very good times to plant your clover.

It's been a long time since something riled me so much I headed straight for the keyboard but the news of the comments made by Welsh Secretary David Jones regarding same sex couples bringing up children did it. For anyone who missed it, t he said :
I regard marriage as an institution that has developed over many centuries, essentially for the provision of a warm and safe environment for the upbringing of children, which is clearly something that two same-sex partners can't do.
He has now claimed that he was quoted out of context given that elsewhere he lauded civil partnerships and apparently has "people in my life who are important to me who are gay." To be honest, it doesn't matter how supportive you are of civil partnerships, how many gay people you have in your life that are important to you, to suggest, with no supporting evidence, that same sex partners "clearly" can't provide a warm and safe environment for the upbringing of children is not only insulting, it is without an ounce of evidence. And I'm sorry Mr Jones, but you may not have said you were against same sex partners adopting or fostering, but no amount of trying to blame your opponents for misinterpreting you can undo what you actually said.
Let's think about it shall we. There are around 60,000 children in care at the moment. I would presume that a good proportion of them come from married couples where they did not enjoy a warm and safe environment. And I would presume that very few of them come from same sex relationships. I may be wrong, maybe someone has done the research?
OK, I admit it. It's personal. Firstly I have friends in same sex relationships who I know would be the most loving parents anyone could wish for. Secondly, my daughter and I are in the final stages of being approved as foster carers. As two women, does Mr Jones not believe we could offer children who may have been neglected, abused or abandoned – a "warm and safe" environment? Believe me, no-one thinking of fostering or adopting, taking on someone else's often hurt and confused children, does so lightly. We know this will have a huge impact on our lives. At my age I thought my mothering days were over but apparently we are 9,000 foster families short in this country. If Lara and I, or any other family, of any shape or size, can offer a refuge to a child who would otherwise be condemned to an institution, a hostel, or the street, why on earth not?
