First-time viewers of Brian Davis' collection of floral paintings are to be forgiven if, acting on impulse, they bend forward ever so slightly and ... sniff. It's understandable, after all, because the images of roses, calla lilies and dahlias are so realistic that one expects them to have a fragrance.
The renowned celebrity artist brings his new "Flowers of Light" exhibit to Ocean Galleries in Stone Harbor over Memorial Day weekend from Friday, May 25, through Monday, May 28. The public is invited to free receptions to meet and greet the artist from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, May 25, Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27.
In celebration of this first-time exhibition, anyone purchasing original or limited-edition artwork by Davis over the holiday weekend will receive an 8-by-10-inch rose giclee on canvas, hand-signed by the artist.
A resident of Reno, Nev., Davis is known for his attention to light and detail. Greatly influenced by the Dutch Masters, along with the artists of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco, during his early years, Davis said he began to focus on refining his oil painting in the 1980s, which led to his exclusive use of the three-dimensional technique known as "value painting," a form of layering colors to create dimension.
His striking artwork has won the admiration of fans worldwide, with several original paintings in permanent collections at the prestigious Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, Calif., and the New York Botanical Garden in New York City. His list of achievements include seven pieces that have been used as posters to commemorate different exhibitions at The Huntington.
Before he begins one of his masterpieces, Davis spends time researching and scouting for a flower or scene that catches his eye. He is almost always carrying a camera so he can capture the image because, as he explains, flowers wilt so quickly and it can take weeks to complete a painting. In his studio, he creates a floral image from a series of different shots he took for each flower, ultimately using two hanging mirrors to view the unfinished painting at all angles. The end result may not be an exact botanical rendering, perhaps even better, his admirers say.
The "Flowers of Light" exhibit will remain on display at Ocean Galleries through June 25.
Ocean Galleries is located at 9618 Third Ave., Stone Harbor. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily during the summer. For more information call 609-368-7777 or

It truly is a stunning achievement, and one that will spark fierce debate in many "Game of the Year" discussions in a few months. The fact that they have managed to cram quite as much as they have into a console game that looks as good as it does is nothing short of miraculous. With so much in the game that I simply don't have time or space to write about, there isn't much more to add, other than if you've been on the fence about buying it, there's no question that it's a must-own for anyone with a console."

I have a very small lump on the opening of my anus.It about the size of pimple, maybe a tiny lit parger. I have had it for a couple of months now because i didnt think much of it and thought it were possibly a pimp that would go over time. The only time it hurts is when i poo, where i usually get a small amount of blood on the toilet paper after wipeing. The pain is pretty bad but only last a couple of seconds. The size of the lump has not changed during this time. Ca you please give me some information of what it might be and how i can get rid of it.

I propose all difficult financial concepts be explained with cartoons, like how this video uses Wile E. Coyote to explain the US government's financial incompetence:
(Thanks, Red Pill Junkie)
By Amid Amidi | | 18
I propose all difficult financial concepts be explained with cartoons, like how this video uses Wile E. Coyote to explain the US government's financial incompetence:
(Thanks, Red Pill Junkie)
Snore. Yeah, the financial market's a mess, but that video is pretty dull even with Wile E.'s participation.
Sort of works in a simplistic, bare-bones political cartoon sort of way. Could have been much better, though
Wasn't there also a Road Runner cartoon where Wile E was slammed so hard into the ground, he emerged in China where a Road Runner, dressed in un-PC Chinese garb was waiting for him?
Foreign debt — the Chinese will own us
Beep beep. Better brush up on your Mandarin.
Thank you, g.w. shrub. You've ruined the country like you ruined every business your daddy gave you.
Thank you, Skip. You've recited every catchphrase you've dutifully learned from the Daily Show, you independent thinker you.
Oh, and this video ought to be required viewing for anyone inclined to pontificate on this subject and whose fault it all is:
Wile E. Coyote indeed.
If you want to see a very solid and more differentiated video on that matter
Thank you, Brian. For helping me to see the light. Voters who supported George W Bush are the true independent thinkers and creative minds of this age.
Continue to show everyone who uses logic and reason that they are actually misguided, you independent thinker you.
Yes of course! It was those demmycrats! They've had control of our entire government for six out of the past eight years and have really drove it into the ground…
Oh wait, that's the republicans.
This financial crisis started well before Democrats got congressional majority. While they certainly share the blame don't forget it's Bush and the Republicans and their penchant for deregulation that got us here in the first place.
The creator of that video incorrectly assumes that the legislation passed under the Carter and Clinton administrations are the root cause of the problem. Allowing lower income families easier access to home loans is a good thing when handled responsibly like it was until the Bush administration.
what lit the fuse on this particular powder keg was the nullification of the Glass-Steagull Act during the period of time when Republicans had total control of the House and Senate . Up until that happened the system worked because the banks approving the loans took the financial hit when a loan recipient defaulted so they weren't going out of their way to approve any seriously risky loans. Once these banks were able to make a profit by selling mortgages to larger investment banks they started approving them by hook or crook because it was all reward with no risk. A lot of banks were conning people into signing on to shitty subprime loans that they couldn't afford once the introductory rates expired even in cases where the recipient qualified for a more affordable prime loan. The filmmaker's own charts show the number of subprime loans skyrocketing under the Bush administration.
The greedy assholes running the investment banks were more than happy to buy these crappy loans because the short term gains (and fat bonus checks) made it easy for them to turn a blind eye to the obvious risk involved.
As if all of this weren't bad enough Bush decided it would be a great idea to lower the income requirements for approval in 2002 when this mess was just getting started. McCain might have bitched about the loans in 2005 but he did nothing to stop the deregulation that caused it and despite everything that happened he's still pushing for more deregulation.
Remember, Youtube videos edited together by morons are usually full of lies and nonsense.
One again everyone wants to blame the Republicans and G. W. Bush without mentioning that the Democrats and Bill Clinton share just as much blame for the mess we are in. Nine time out of Ten, most problems are the result of incompetence by both parties.
I dunno. I blame the Democrats for a lot of the mess. My city of Cleveland's been in the control of the Democrats for over 20 years and look how "great" it is. 2nd in the nation in crime, no stable local economy, a barren lakefront, and the home of "Dennis the Menace" Kucinich. You want to pretend it's all the Republicans fault? Keep dreaming.
On a similar note, here is an animated short criticizing John McCain that I made for a class:
I am not an animator, and am barely an artist, but hopefully it's still enjoyable.
I neglected to mention that the short is a spoof of Steamboat Willie, called Swiftboat Willie.
Here's one: McCain Girl and the Enchanted Republican Forest.
I'm sure the Repubs will look at this and say "Yeah! Right On!"
Amid, I see you subscibe to the maxim, "Never let facts get in the way of a good line of BS"
SERIOUSLY. I follow politics and current events but this blog has about 50% political and 50% cartoon related news lately.
Lay off the politics.
Hey Bob – that was pretty good!
On a side note. Is there ANYTHING that isn't the Democrats fault?
The righties get their tighty whities in a bunch over anything that might involve their "personal responsibility."

Occasionally, your bank or credit card company may make a mistake by processing a transaction for a different amount than you wrote it for. If this happens, the transaction that appears in the electronic statement from your financial institution will not match the transaction you entered in QuickBooks.
The financial institution will likely correct the problem by making an adjustment to your account. You can make a similar adjustment in QuickBooks so you can reconcile the account properly.
To do this task
Contact your financial institution or credit card company and report the error.
Note: You may also want to consult your accountant for advice.
In QuickBooks, edit the transaction you entered so that it agrees with the transaction from the financial institution.
You can now reconcile this transaction with the one in the electronic statement.
Make an adjustment transaction for the
difference between your original transaction and the amount from the financial institution.
When you download your next electronic statement, verify that it contains an adjustment for the error, and that QuickBooks automatically matches the adjustment with the one you made in Step 3.
You can now reconcile the adjustment with the one in the electronic statement.

SAN DIEGO —— Every Southern California resident should learn to prepare for wildfires, participants in a conference on fire safety and fire ecology agreed Tuesday.
But how to enforce brush clearance around suburban and backcountry homes and how to organize new communities to reduce fire risk were contentious issues at the meeting, held at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
About 50 firefighters, biologists, local building officials and homeowners met at the museum in the first of four conferences on "Living with Fire in Chaparral Ecosystems" that will be held this month around Southern California. After visiting an exhibit on wildfires at the museum, they heard brief presentations on homes and home sites, ecology and community planning and followed each with roundtable discussions.
Speakers sought to dispel various "myths" that have grown up surrounding fire regulations and the history of fires in Southern California.
For example, San Diego County firefighters have recommended that homeowners clear 100 feet of brush around their homes since 1997. However, clearing brush does not mean removing everything, said conference organizer Muriel McElhinney.
Clearing land completely will promote erosion and increases the likelihood that quickly growing and easily burning grasses will invade the land, said McElhinney, who is a lecturer with the natural history museum.
Inside the first 35 feet around a house, homeowners should plant slow-growing fire-resistant ground cover. Outside that zone extending out 100 feet, shrubs should be trimmed so that 50 percent of the soil is shaded, she said.
Clearing brush is only one part of fire defense. Building officials and firefighters said that a fire-resistant roof, boxed eaves and well-designed vents help protect houses from flying embers. Most "Class A" fire-resistant roofs are made of metal, concrete, clay or slate.
"The key to fire resistance is the roof," said Scott Molloy, a public policy specialist with the Building Industry Association of San Diego. "Next comes the eaves and ventilation of the eaves, and then exterior siding and windows."
Many houses in the October 2003 Cedar fire were ignited by "ember attack" after the main wave of fire pushed through the surrounding neighborhood, said Randy Lyle, division chief at the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Discussing fire-prone habitats, ecologist Rick Halsey called attention to the increase in fire frequency over the last century in California. Chaparral, the vegetation characteristic of California's hillsides, is adapted to intermittent fires. But chaparral is in danger of being replaced by non-native grasses if it is assaulted by frequent fires, he said.
Southern California may be able to learn something about fire safety from Australia, which has a similar climate and vegetation, according to museum curator and former Forest Service Manager Anne Fege.
In Australia, communities have protective U-shaped roads looping around clusters of homes rather than a cul-de-sac with homes surrounding it. The road forms a protective barrier against "ember attack," she said.
Some meeting participants were skeptical that whether Californians would want to radically redesign new suburbs to reduce fire risk.
"Certainly we could design a fire-proof community," said Lyle. "But who could afford to live there? And who would want to?"

Other Name: Noxafil
Detailed Description:
At this moment itraconazole is the drug of first choice in the prophylaxis of fungal infections in children with CGD. Breakthrough fungal infections while on itra-conazole prophylaxis are described in literature indicating the need for a drug with a broader antifungal spectrum. PSZ might provide in this need. PSZ may also have a clinical safety and tolerability advantage over other antifungal agents. Because PSZ is metabolized through phase II glucuronidation it is less common to be subject to drug interactions. PSZ is known to be a CYP3A4 inhibitor, but does not inhibit other CYP enzymes, therefore it may exhibit fewer drug interactions as compared with other azole antifungal agents.
Treatment of children is still off-label use. No data have been published to date on the exposure of PSZ in children under the age of 8 or in children with CGD. There is an urgent need to study the use of PSZ in these young children. Furthermore, the current regimen for antifungal prophylaxis requires a three times daily administration of PSZ. For this specific purpose less complex dosing schedules are warranted thus defining the need to examine a twice daily schedule.
As the tolerability and pharmacokinetics are unknown in patients under the age of 8 years and only limited data are available for age groups 8 to 16 years, we propose a feasibility study of a twice daily regimen of PSZ prophylaxis in CGD patients. With this information available we can suggest a dosage for future prophylaxis in this patient group.

The Oconee County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
Dispute: On Oct. 1, a 27-year-old Watkinsville woman said her ex-husband came to her home to talk after she told him she may be getting remarried. She told him to leave, but he refused. He acquiesced once she called 911. The ex-husband told another deputy he only wanted to talk about the couple's children because his ex's suitor is in the military and he is concerned they might move away. The deputy told the man to stay away from his ex-wife.
Theft: On Oct. 1, a deputy met with an administrator at Oconee County Middle School, where a student's purse was stolen from the girl's locker room. The purse later was found, but a camera, cell phone and iPod were missing.
Fraud: On Oct. 1, a 46-year-old man reported that someone used his personal information to gain access to his bank accounts, although no activity had occurred.
Arrest: On Oct. 2, a deputy working a traffic stop shortly before midnight on Epps Bridge Parkway reported a Ford F-150 pickup passed his patrol car and failed to move over as required by law. The deputy's blue lights were flashing at the time. The pickup was stopped, and the deputy could smell alcohol on the driver. James Jason Steen, 30, of Lafayette, La., had bloodshot eyes and admitted to having a couple of drinks. After some roadside sobriety tests, Steen was taken to the county jail, where he refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test. The man's truck was impounded, and he was charged with DUI.
Arrest: On Oct. 3, a deputy running radar about 5 a.m. on Georgia Highway 316 stopped a car for traveling 78 mph. Miguel DeJesus Flores, 31, of Kim Chase Road, Athens, was arrested for speeding and being an unlicensed driver.
Complaint: On Oct. 3, the sheriff's office received a call that a woman driving her car with her two sons was traveling 90 mph and running stop signs. The call came in from one of the sons, who said their mother would not let them out of the car. A deputy spoke with the mother, urging her to come back, but she refused. The 37-year-old woman later called to say she was in Athens. No charges were filed, but the matter is under investigation.
Complaint: On Oct. 3, as a deputy pulled into the parking lot of the RaceTrac convenience store on Macon Highway about 8:30 p.m., he was waved over by a 39-year-old Athens man in the parking lot. The man said he had a disagreement with a woman after she accused him of hitting her vehicle in the parking lot. He said she threatened to call 911, but a dispatch check revealed no such call. The man said he went inside the store but saw her near his car. When he walked outside, she had left and his car's driver's side had been keyed. He described the woman as white with a large build, dark hair and wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt. She was driving a black Honda Passport with a personalized license plate.
Arrest: On Oct. 3, a deputy patrolling Atlanta Highway in Bogart about 10:55 p.m. encountered an approaching car that veered into his lane, then crossed over the double yellow line. The car was stopped, and the deputy was immediately overwhelmed by the odor of alcohol. The driver said she had a few drinks. Terry Elizabeth Mayberry, 27, of Providence Circle, Statham, registered a 0.21 blood-alcohol level at the jail and was charged with DUI.
Arrest: On Oct. 4, a deputy patrolling on Georgia Highway 316 about 12:40 a.m. clocked a car traveling 87 mph in a 65 mph zone. He stopped the car near Dials Mills Road and smelled alcohol on the driver, 23-year-old Crystal Nicole Miller of Riverbend Parkway, Athens. Miller's blood-alcohol level registered 0.1, and she was charged with speeding and DUI.
Complaint: On Oct. 3, a Watkinsville woman called to report that she had an argument with her teenage son about some plastic wrap and that when he jerked it out of her hand, it cut her little finger. She wanted her son put in custody on a juvenile complaint. The deputy contacted two juvenile agencies, but neither would agree to have the teen incarcerated. The deputy couldn't question the teen because he had gone on a church outing.
Damage: On Oct. 5, an Oconee County Utility Department official informed a deputy of a Bishop resident receiving water without paying for it. The water line to a house has been damaged on four occasions so residents could gain access to water, which originally was turned off for nonpayment. The deputy did not describe the action he took on the complaint.
Fraud: On Oct. 5, a of McNutt Creek Road, Bogart, resident reported two fraudulent transactions from his bank account made at an unidentified Walmart location. The man said he closed the account before the transactions could be cleared.
Burglary: On Oct. 5, a Pete Dickens Road resident reported someone entered his home through a front door and stole numerous electronic items, several rifles, a cell phone and boxes of ammunition.
Theft: On Oct. 5, a deputy was dispatched to a disturbance at David's Bridal Shop on Epps Bridge Parkway. Two Athens women said the store's manager accused them of stealing dresses earlier in the day. They left the store but returned later because one woman could not find her cell phone and thought she left it in the store. The deputy served both women with a notice not to return to the store for two years.
Theft: On Oct. 5, deputy Joe Williams was dispatched to The Home Depot on Epps Bridge Parkway. The manager said the store had been victimized by a team of thieves who had made similar thefts at other Home Depot locations. The thieves would get a cart and put a plastic container in it, then load a quantify of Dewalt rechargeable tool batteries. In this case, they took three cases and left through the garden section entrance. Two white males, possibly Hispanic, and a black male were traveling in a white Nissan Altima with North Carolina plates.
Arrest: On Oct. 5, a deputy met with a woman who said her husband came home drunk and slapped her face during an argument. Their daughter saw the assault and called 911. The man left in his wife's car but was located in Walton County by sheriff's deputies there and transported back to Oconee County. Scott Chambers, 42, of Manor Ridge Drive, Bishop, was charged with simple battery and cruelty to children. Because he had been drinking and had symptoms of being under the influence, he also was charged with DUI.
Arrest: On Oct. 5, deputy David Burchett was dispatched to Crooked Creek Road, Watkinsville, for a domestic dispute. When Burchett arrived, he saw a woman with dirt on her black dress and the smell of alcohol. Mallory Anna Hoard, 24, said her boyfriend had thrown her to the ground while she was trying to load items into a friend's car. Hoard said she only wanted to get her dog and leave. The boyfriend said Hoard had been drinking a lot and they began arguing about their relationship. He said she began packing her items to get out of the house and spilled some wine. He said he also saw her trying to take a dog he had bought, and when he took back the dog, she hit him on the head. He said he was knocked off balance and that Hoard also fell down while she held on to him. The man had scratches on his neck. The friend who came to the house verified the boyfriend's recounting. Hoard was charged with simple battery.
Arrest: On Oct. 6, deputies were dispatched to Walmart on Epps Bridge Parkway, where security had detained 28-year-old Latoya Marie Canty of Heelstowe Place, Athens, on suspicion of shoplifting. She had placed some merchandise in a bag and tried to leave.
Burglary: On Oct. 6, a Colham Ferry Road resident reported that someone stole a Cub Cadet lawn mower from his garage and kicked in a door to the house. Muddy footprints were found in the house. Nothing seemed to be missing from the house, but a chain saw was stolen from a shed.
Arrest: On Oct. 6, a deputy was dispatched to Kohl's department store on Epps Bridge Parkway, where Brittany R. Sorrow, 20, of Jennings Mill Road was detained on suspicion of shoplifting about $86 in merchandise.
Drugs: On Oct. 6, a deputy was dispatched to North Oconee High School, where a school official found a small amount of marijuana on a 15-year-old student. The student said he had purchased the marijuana earlier in the day from another student, a senior. Cpl. Shane Partain was summoned to the school and used a K9 officer to search the senior's vehicle. The student told Partain his vehicle was frequently used by others to smoke marijuana. No marijuana was found in the vehicle. The senior was not charged, but the first student was charged and later released to his mother.
Arrest: On Oct. 6, a deputy was dispatched to Kohl's where Tracy Michelle Bellew, 37, of Elberton was detained on suspicion of shoplifting $182 in mostly children's clothing.
Threat: On Oct. 7, a deputy met with a woman who said her husband has threatened to kill her. She filed for divorce in April and left him, and didn't hear from him again until recently when he made the threats. He now texts her saying he knows where she is and that she can't hide. The man, age 38, lives in Pennsylvania.
The Watkinsville Police Department reported the following incidents:

Translating Liferay Portal
Alternative Languages: 日本語
Table of Contents [-]
- Step 1) Find out if the translation to the language already exists
- Step 2) Editing the file
- Step 4) Contributing the translation to Liferay (Optional, recommended)
- Other optional steps
This page is about translating the Liferay application. For adding translations of wiki articles, see Translations.
Liferay Portal is an application that can be localized to multiple languages, that even allows each user to choose a different languages of the ones supported by the platform. By default Liferay provides translations to a large number of languages. Some of those translations are reviewed carefully by native speakers although others are automatically translated (you can help if this is the case for your language!).
This article explains how to translate Liferay to a new language or how to improve an existing translation.
Step 1) Find out if the translation to the language already exists #
Liferay maintains the sentences used throughout the portal in a set of files of the form Language_(Language code).properties where (Language code) identifies the language as defined by the Java Internationalization specs.
These files are stored within a directory named 'content' which is deployed to the classpath. The exact location of this directory varies depending if you are looking at the sources or a deployed installation. Here are the most common cases:
- Liferay sources: portal-impl/src/content/Language_(Language code).properties
- Extension Environment: the files are inside modules/portal-impl.jar in the path content/Language_(Language code).properties
- The extension environment allows making changes to these files without actually modifying them by using the equivalent files of the form ext-impl/classes/content/Language-ext_(Language code).properties
- However, you should consider using a hook to override translation keys instead of the extension environment (5.2.x) or ext-plugin (6.x)
- Liferay deployment: within $LIFERAY_WAR/WEB-INF/lib/portal-impl.jar find content/Language_(Language code).properties
- In the Tomcat Bundle: within $TOMCAT/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/portal-impl.jar find content/Language_(Language code).properties
Step 2) Editing the file #
The Language_(Language code).properties files are regular text files that can be edited with a simple text editor. Java properties editors available in the most modern IDEs can also be used.
To create the translation for a new language make a copy of the file for an existing language and change the (Language code) to the one associated to the new language. The language code has the following syntax (brackets denote optional portion)
<language code>[_<country code>[_<variant code>]]
Note that you may have to modify more than one language.properties files. In this page you will find the Location of language.properties
For more information check Internationalization: Understanding Locale in the Java Platform
Dealing with non-ASCII characters (Version 6.x and later) #
Liferay's Language_(Language code).properties files are UTF-8 encoded - this is different from the Java standard, but is an important detail to get your deployment actually working. There's no more transformation required.
Dealing with non-ASCII characters (Only for versions previous to 6) #
When writing a translation to a language that uses non-ASCII characters some problems may arise. This section explains why this may happen and how to solve it.
When using a non-ASCII character in a Language.properties file the text editor will use a different encoding system to be able to represent those files. If the encoding does not match the one used by the portal the non-ASCII characters will not be shown correctly to the user.
While this can be solved by making sure the file is saved with the same encoding, a better way to solve the problem is to encode the file with a Java specific format that is independent of the encoding used. This ensures that even if the encoding used by the portal is used the non-ASCII characters will still be read correctly.
Java provides a command line tool called native2ascii that allows converting from any encoding (specified as a parameter) to Java's format. Liferay uses this tool for all languages that need it (actually, all but English). It stores the files with the original encoding with the extension .native and the does a conversion:
Language_(Language code).properties.native ==> Language_(Language code).properties
As a conclusion, if you are using liferay 6 or newer you don't have the native files and you don't have to worry about the non-ASCII characters at all. Otherwise:
- When editing Language files within Liferay's sources or in the Extension Environment never edit the Language_(Language code).properties files directly. Instead edit Language_(Language code).properties.native.
- When editing them in your own environment we recommend using a similar pattern, modifying the .native files (or whatever extension you like) and using native2ascii' to generate the actual Language file
- You only need to deploy the files of the form Language_(Language code).properties (without the .native extension)== Step 3) Installing the new or modified translation ===== Modified translations ===
The recommended way to immediately use an updated translation is to deploy the modified language keys through a hook. This way your translation contains only the entries that differ from Liferay's default translation to the language that you modify. A hook is hot-deployable, so you can update the translation without restarting the portal. Also, you can easily upgrade the portal without affecting your changes - on update you can check if your modifications are still necessary (see the paragraph about contributing your translation back below)
New Translations #
Once you have a new translation file they should be placed along with the other Language files in the locations listed in step 1. (They can also be deployed as a hook - see above)
If it is a new translation it will also be necessary to register it within Liferay. To do that you'll have to:
- edit your portal-ext.properties and add the new language to the property locales. For example to add
- edit ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml and add URL mappings for your language:
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>I18n Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/lt/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>I18n Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/lt_LT/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
Step 4) Contributing the translation to Liferay (Optional, recommended) #
To contribute your translation back to liferay, so that it can be included in future versions of the portal, please login to http://translate.liferay.com (use your screenname and password as on www.liferay.com). We're using that site for contributions to our translations.
You might also consider to introduce yourself and participate in the translations forum.
Other optional steps #
- Change the default language for new users: Read steps in Language/display customization

I never thought when my two boys were starting kindy that one day I would have a baby girl who would also be getting ready to go to kindy. But you never know where life leads you, and to my joy, I do indeed have a little girl who I plan to send to kindy later this year. For some reason I am probably more nervous about this than I was with the boys... is it because she is a girl? Or because she is my last child who I want to keep close to me for as long as possible?
Anyway, the fact remains, she will indeed start her journey of kindy and then school one day before I know it. I have truly blinked and she is already 10 months old... on her way to walking and turning into a gorgeous little toddler.
One of the things that you, like me, might have noticed about the beds provided at kindergartens and daycare centres is that they are not very comfy. Normally you are just asked to provide sheets for them.... but did you know there is an alternative? A very cute, comfy, easy to use, and easy to wash alternative? Kindy Kamper is an Australian company that designs beautiful all in one kindy bedding. And not only are the designs gorgeous, they are great value too at around $60. These sets will last right through kindy, and can also be used for sleep overs or even naps around your own house if your child prefers to be with you rather than in their own room.
Big sewn on label for you to write your child's name on.
Top blanket is attached by zipper which makes it very easy to remove for washing or if you don't need it on.
Beautiful embroidered detail.
Corner elastic straps for kindy beds with legs.
Velcro strap which makes it so easy to just roll the bedding set up and secure the velcro strap.
Handle for easy carrying (even for a toddler).
Divine designs and beautiful finish.
So if you need a kindy bedding set head on over to Kindy Kamper and have a browse of their lovely and oh-so-practical sets!

The Senate said Commonwealth of Nations laws are not binding on Nigeria.
The Senate said this yesterday while reacting to the recent signing by Queen Elizabeth of a new Commonwealth Charter that embraces universal human rights, including homosexuality, for all Commonwealth citizens.
Read related article: Queen Fights For Gay Rights: UK Monarch Makes Historic Pledge on Discrimination
Speaking to our correspondent on phone yesterday, the spokesman of the Senate, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, said the Commonwealth could not make laws for Nigeria because it (Nigeria) is an independent country.
He said the Senate has, through a bill, made homosexuality illegal in Nigeria, and that no Commonwealth law or charter can change the Senate's position on the issue.
NAN reports that the Charter, which details 16 core beliefs, was adopted by all the member nations in December 2012.
The charter states "We are implacably opposed to all forms of discrimination, whether rooted in gender, race, colour, creed, political belief or other grounds."
There are reports that the queen is sticking up for queens everywhere by signing on the Commonwealth Charter, a document designed to "stamp out discrimination against homosexual people and promote the 'empowerment' of women."
The document applies not just to the United Kingdom, but to the entire Commonwealth of Nations, which includes Australia, India, parts of Africa and many other countries.
Considering that homosexual acts are currently a capital offense in several parts of the Commonwealth, this treaty could be a historic step forward for gay rights.
But Abaribe said "I am not aware that the Commonwealth of Nations is making laws for Nigeria. Nigeria, as a Federal Republic, is an independent country. Our association with the Commonwealth of Nations is voluntary.
"The fact the Commonwealth of Nations makes any law or sign any charter does not necessarily mean that we must accept such, especially if such a law or charter is in conflict with our own law. Homosexuality has become an illegal practice in Nigeria and no Commonwealth law or charter can make us change this," he said.

Trip report: Kenya/Tanzania, 19 Dec 07 to 5 Jan 08
Travelers- Group of nine friends (Boston and Paris-based); 4 couples—in their 30s-50s--and a pre-teen boy who speaks only French.
• Two nights, Nairobi, Giraffe Manor: Two nights were just right to recover from the journey and to feel transported to an Africa, more fantastical/literary than contemporary, but a worth punctuation between home and the bush. Managers David and Nadine are great.
• Three nights, near Amboseli, in private tented camp in a Ker & Downey concession on Kisongo Masai land bordering Amboseli National Park. Spent a day meeting Masai and touring their homes and schools. Also had lessons and competition in throwing spears and rungu (wooden club). It was truly a privileged experience. On game drives we saw many elephant, giraffe, gazelle, ostrich, and other birds. A lot of fun climbing rocks and speeding on dry lake beds.
• Three nights, Mahale Mountains, Greystoke Lodge: What a delight. Short walks up the mountain to visit with chimpanzees. Cruising along the shores of Lake Tanganika in a dhow for swimming, fishing, then eating the catch sashimi-style. Mile after mile of jungle and mountains, and no one else except baboons, monkeys, hippo, crocodile, giant kingfisher, eagle, and bush buck. The guides from Greystoke were excellent (Theophil and Saif)--the lodge staff and the kitchen as well. However, the young woman who played the role of lodge host was a bit rude; not a good fit with the lodge's vibe of low-key luxury.
• Six nights, Serengeti National Park, tented camps, two sites. The first camp was in the south, in an area of short grass plains near Lake Ndutu. Other campers, but vast numbers of game, birds and reptiles. What a spectacle! Migrating wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and antelope; many lion and cheetah; elephant. Also, caracal, serval cats, hyena—the list goes on. The second camp was further north, near Ngare Nanyuki. A beautiful location, few/no other campers. Vast landscapes of tall grass, outcroppings of kopjes (fun to climb and for picnics). Followed a pride of 16 lion for three days. A lot of mouths to feed! The Ker & Downey guides tailored the drives for a wide range of activities for our group. The Sokwe camp staff were good, but the standout was Esther, who oversaw operations at both sites.
• Two nights, Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. We left the Lodge early in the AM and were at park gate when it first opened. The landscapes and wildlife were breathtaking and the clear highlights of this site. The Lodge has dramatic architecture and décor: Trader Vic's meets the Shire? The staff were attentive, but for the price, kept missing the target. Some of the rooms needed a bit more cleaning. Things didn't work and took too long to fix. Food was OK. Not sure why. Organized in a decentralized manner?
• One night, Nairobi, Macushla House. A good place to cool off in the pool, but overall we preferred Giraffe Manor.
Safari outfitter- Ker and Downey, Kenya
Lead guide- Simon Belcher. Other guides- Sandor Carter and Andy Campbell.
Overall experience-
First time to Africa for most of us: Gasp. For those of us who had already been on safari: double gasp (this was a completely different and superior safari). Can't say enough about the care, attention, organization, knowledge, and quality of service from both Simon and Amanda Belcher, as well as the two other guides from Ker & Downey, (Kenya): Sandor Carter and Andy Campbell. We are already crafting another safari with them.
The three Ker & Downey (Kenya) guides traveled with us the entire trip. We think this continuity made the difference between a good trip and a fantastic one. On the ground we had three cars, with a guide in each. While in Kenya, there was an additional Masai spotter for each car. While in Tanzania, we had local drivers freeing the guides to concentrate even more on spotting and teaching.
There is a lot of art in figuring out the right guides for a group of travelers—and Simon's selections were phenomenal. Simon, Sandor, and Andy had very different styles, but each had great chemistry with our group, deep knowledge of the bush and its denizens, and an amazing eye for game. And Andy's fluency in French was critical in ensuring that the youngest member of the party—who speaks very little English—had a phenomenal time. In the bush, we impressed how quickly and deftly the guides tailored the routines to match our different interests/styles. They had great knowledge of birdlife, reptiles, insects and bontanicals. A simple question often led to a brief academic discussion. This provided a continuity of experience and quality between different camp sites and lodge. In particular, this allowed discussions on wildlife, culture and history, as well as game drive agendas to build over time.
The tented camps were terrific, particularly those in Kenya. Simon and Amanda had added special features to the Ker & Downey tent interiors. Much appreciated. The camp staff were great. And there's no question that the food in the camps was often superior to that served in the lodges.
Weather was excellent. A happy surprise was the almost complete lack of mosquitoes. In total, among many other beasts, saw over 80 lion, 10 cheetah, dozens of elephant and hippo, one rhino, innumerable wildebeest and zebra—and hardly any other tourists. Even in the national parks, our guides were so good at spotting game that we had a huge head start in viewing—by the time others saw us and came over to see what we were looking at, we were ready to move on.
Our trip happened to coincide with the post-election unrest in Kenya. Again, here the Belchers were great, with flawless coordination between Simon--with us--and Amanda, at the main office in Nairobi. We were already in Tanzania by the time of the election, so our main issue was the impact of rallies on our scheduled departure from Nairobi. Just in case, the Belchers had arranged an alternative. Instead of spending the last day of the trip in Nairobi, we would spend the night in Arusha and a private plane would take us directly to Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi hours before our outbound flights. We elected to stick to our original plan, but it was a great comfort during out time in Tanzania to know that Plan B existed.
In Kenya, aside from stepped up police stops on Nairobi roads, we had no encounters or problems with political rallies following the national elections. In fact, we went shopping at a nearby mall where there were many locals enjoying the day and each other.
Given the unsettled political situation, seats were very tight on outbound flights and some of us could not get confirmed seat assignments in advance of check-in. Somehow the Belchers arranged to have all of our boarding passes printed and delivered to us at Macushla House hours before our departure. What a relief! Really above and beyond the call.

Your account will be reassuring to others taveling at this time. Thanks and glad it was a good time.
There's a current thread looking for poeple who have been at Giraffe Manor you may want to check out.
Did you see chimps at Mahale?
Ker& Downey did a great job for you especially with the Plan B at the ready.

hi, many thanks
Will check out Giraffe Manor thread.
Mahale and chimpanzee: YES. Spent an hour or so each day; no further than 10-12 feet away, often much much closer when they walked by. Amazing. Early each morning the Greystoke guides went out to locate the chimps, so we knew which direction to hike. There are really no other visitors except for an occastional researcher from Japan.
Pix: Yes, but have only edited about 1/3. Will send Flickr link asap.

Thanks Mr Aloha. Sounds like a great trip; K&D(Kenya) took really good care of you. Glad you had such a great time. Can't wait for the photos.
Were Rick and Bryony still at Giraffe Manor when you were there? I believe Rick's mother actually founded the giraffe center, so was curious.
When at Mahale were all of you able to track the chimps each day or were the number of visit/treks per guest limited? Do you know how much the Mahale portion of the trip cost (per person) and was it worth it? I'm considering Mahale for 2009, and would love more detail on that part of your trip.
Glad you had such a great time in the Serengeti and were able to witness the Migration.

Hi, Dana M:
Giraffe Manor- The owners are no longer on the front lines. The current managers, David and Nadine, are terrific hosts. It was magical. But the style is not glossy, like the 4 Seasons. We stayed there two nights at the beginning of the safari and wished we had stayed there at the end (sadly, they were booked).
Mahale/Greystoke- I believe visiting the chimpanzee is limited to an hour daily per guest. There are only 7 bungalows, so there is plenty of time each day for two groups to hike into see the chimpanzee.
I don't know the exact daily cost for Mahale/Greystoke, as it was folded into the entire cost of the 2 week safari, for the nine of us.
It is not cheap and getting there is not easy or cheap, but we all felt it was entirely worth the cost: chimpanzee, Lake Tanganika (boating, swimming, fishing), entirely different landscape from dry plains.
Simon and Amanda Belcher can help you build this into your itinerary:

Thanks for the additional information on Mahale. I'm considering adding it to the end of my trip as a splurge birthday present to myself, so every good review/report is making it easier for me to think about writing that check!

Well, Ruth, my understanding of this is that in about five years or so
when they have digested all of this world's blood including yours they
will be able to relate to you a time and place where your DNA came from
way back in history after figuring out its relationship to everyone
else's blood. Whether you would have to give blood again to find out OR
whether they actually maintain a record of you, I don't know, but I
suspect and hope that they would be kind enough to keep track of you
For security reasons in this miserably hyper paranoid world, they will
NOT give names but only dates and places so that in combination with
your own genealogy it will provide leads such as "Oh! my gosh! My
ancestors came from Boston? and I always thought they came from
Nashville in 1635!

Much of the ideas found in the Church of Camwell are not original ideas. You will find that the Church of Camwell borrows from thousands of years of human philosophy and religion. So don't be surprised if you find yourself agreeing with some of the beliefs we espouse.
There is no ritual in this Church, nor is there any such thing as an ordained minister. There is no notion of evangelism because the Church of Camwell does not actively seek membership, nor is there any concept of conversion. We do not ask for your allegience, and we don't even ask that you renounce the religious heritage that you identify with.
All we ask is that you keep an open mind and engage in the discussion. The only ritual in this curch is discussion itself: rational discussion that is not interested in rivals trying to prove each other wrong, but rather men and women in fellowship together engaging in the discovery of Universal Truth. Since rational discussion is meant for all peoples in all times, that means everyone is able to partake in the ritual without special qualification or credential.
Should the Church of Camwell become a legitimate movement with me as its leader, I make my solemn vow that any moneys that are ever donated to the Church of Camwell will be given back to the community and donated to worthy charitable causes. I, Jack Camwell, will never keep even one single penny for myself. I will only consider taking donations if in the future we grow to a point where our members collectively can make a tangible contribution to society.
There are 5 basic beliefs that define the core of the Church of Camwell:
1. There is a Creator.
2. There is Universal Truth.
3. No single text has all the answers.
4. Doubt strengthens Faith.
5. We must be good and do good.
|L. Ron Hubbard
This guy might be crazy, but I'm not.
This is a play on a verse found in Matthew's Gospel in the New Testament of the King James Version of the Bible. The verse reads "Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way" (Matthew 7:14). The notion is that there is only one way into heaven, and it's incredibly specific.
Here in the Church of Camwell, we believe that if indeed there is a heaven, an all-loving God would not have created humans to be so doubtful and thoughtful if he knew that 99% of them would never make it into heaven because of their "flawed" beliefs. So the idea is that the path to heaven, if such a place even exists, is pretty wide.
There is a lot of good found in rival religions. We don't believe that "anything goes." The gate is straight indeed, because being a good person is paramount. However, the road to Salvation is not based on the ideas of one single religion. So in the Church of Camwell, Jesus provides a route to Salvation that is just as legitimates as Mohammed's which is just as legitimate as Sidhartha Gautama's path.
This is not a rationalization to make ourselves feel better. This idea is based in logic. If God loves all of us dearly, and wants us all to be happy forever, then why would God make the path to Him so narrow? If you have a child, imagine that you have the chance to decide whether or not your child is allowed to spend eternity with you in paradise.
How would you make that decision? What sort of qualifications would you make? Would your child have to have refrained from alcohol all his life? Would you require that your child worship you? Would your child have to be heterosexual? Would your child have to do everything you say and completely submit to your will?
We all know your answer to each of those questions: no. You love your children, and you would never condemn them to an eternity of torture simply because they didn't listen to you, especially if they lived decent lives. You would allow them to spend eternity in bliss with you, because you love them and want them to be happy, regardless of their flaws. The Church of Camwell believes that this is how God feels about humanity. He loves us intensely, just as parents love their children.
So chew on that while you await the explication of our core beliefs.

How to Layer Perfume
The Need-to-Know Tip For Perfect Fragrance Every Time
Finding that your favourite fragrance is just a bit too overwhelming on your skin? Taking your perfume from headache-inducing to seductively subtle is as simple as layering. The first thing to do is to reach for a fragrance that has a matching lotion, and we love for Gucci Première (from $96) and its matching perfumed body lotion ($70) — the scent featuring Blake Lively as its face.
After you get out of the shower, spray the perfume on your skin first, focusing on your pulse points. Once the fragrance has fully dried, layer on the lotion that matches it. The lotion will have a muddling effect on the perfume, which will give you a more subtle scent. If you're using a perfumed body wash, then the effect will be even more heightened. You'll still be left with your favourite scent, but in a lighter form. Even those with the most sensitive of noses will be left with a scent that doesn't require a couple aspirin to stomach.

Sony delays PS3 motion-sensing controller launch
Camera-based motion-sensing controller release shifted from spring 2010 launch to fall; delay to affect all global markets.
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
Last August, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai placed a tentative launch window of spring 2010 for the PlayStation 3's upcoming motion-sensing controllers. It seems Hirai's original estimate has turned out to be too optimistic, with Sony confirming today that the new controller's release date has now been pushed back to sometime in the fall of this year.
According to a statement from Sony, the motion-sensing controllers--which as yet don't have an official name--will arrive in "fall 2010 in Japan, Asian regions and countries, North America and Europe/PAL territories." In the statement, Hirai said, "We will continue to work to have a comprehensive portfolio of attractive and innovative games for the Motion Controller, not only from SCE Worldwide Studios but also from the third party developers and publishers, whom we have been working closely with."
The delay pushes the PS3 controller's launch closer to the Xbox 360's tentative date for Project Natal, with Xbox division chief Robbie Bach pegging a holiday 2010 release for Microsoft's motion-sensing system. As for what games will initially support the PS3 controllers, Hirai outlined some key titles during last year's Tokyo Game Show, including Ape Escape, Echochrome 2, Eccentric Slider, Sing and Draw, Champions of Time, Motion Party, The Shoot, and Tower. Other games such as Pain, Flower, Hustle Kings, High Velocity Bowling, and Eye Pets will be made compatible via downloadable updates. Capcom has also confirmed that the "Alternative Edition" of Resident Evil 5 will feature motion-sensing control compatibility for its Japanese release.

A Decade Of Torment
Breakpoint (27.07.2009) - British novelist P.D. James wrote The Children of Men in 1992-a chilling story of sudden, worldwide infertility and what happens in its aftermath.
Women carefully tend baby dolls, couples "baptize" kittens, and the elderly-with no younger generation to care for them-are forced by the government to commit suicide.
Perhaps it's time for James to write another novel-this time about what happens when a country's government prevents its citizens from having more than one child. It would rival The Children of Men in sheer horror.
Reggie Littlejohn could help James; she's already done the research. Littlejohn is president of Women's Rights Without Frontiers and an expert on China's destructive one-child policy, which China's communist leaders instituted in 1979 in order to artificially bring down China's birthrate.
But 30 years later, we learn once again that when we attempt to violate the natural order, the consequences are predictable-if unintended. As Littlejohn noted in a speech to the EU Parliament last year, the results of China's one-child policy have been severe, spawning "at least 10 other serious human rights violations."
Among them, forced abortion-even in the ninth month-and forced sterilization. Many women suffer permanent damage to their health from the sterilizations, which are often performed by unqualified persons rather than trained gynecologists.
China's leaders claim that no woman is forced to undergo an abortion. If that's true, then why do family planning offices have cells attached to them? An illegally pregnant woman's mother or sister or other relative is locked up and treated brutally until the pregnant woman (who may be living in hiding) "voluntarily" comes in to have her baby aborted, Littlejohn explained at the Heritage Foundation.
The one-child policy has also led directly to human trafficking and sexual slavery. China's leaders have acknowledged that there are now some 35 million men who will never marry because their future wives were aborted. This gender imbalance "is a powerful, driving force behind trafficking in women and sexual slavery" all over Asia, Littlejohn maintains.
Forced abortions traumatize women, and are a major cause of the fact that some 500 Chinese women commit suicide every day, Littlejohn believes-the highest rate in the world. An incredible 56 percent of all female suicides worldwide occur in China.
The one-child policy has also led to "gendercide." China's cultural preference for boys means that couples frequently abort girls. In rural areas, where couples are often allowed to have two children if the first child is female, parents use ultrasound to determine the second baby's sex and almost routinely abort female children. This means that in some provinces, among "second" babies, 160 or more boys are born to every 100 girls.
The policy has also led to a brisk market in stolen children-some 70,000 a year. Parents who have a girl but want a boy will steal a male infant; parents are sometimes sterilized after having one child, but if that child dies, its grieving parents may grab someone else's infant.
Then there are the "forsaken children," whose parents divorce and marry other people. Wishing to have a child with the new partner-and limited to having just one child-the parents "may abandon the child of their first marriage," Littlejohn says. Then those children roam the streets, destitute. Tragically, these children are often too old to appeal to couples longing for a child (or a second child).
China is also full of "illegal" children, whose parents gave birth to them without benefit of a birth permit. China's government refuses to give these children health care or an education. With no "official" existence, they will likely be barred from employment or marriage when they grow up.
The one-child policy has led to rioting and violence as rural Chinese rebel against the policy. Last year, in China's Guangxi province, thousands of villagers clashed violently with police following a two-month crackdown against those who defied the one-child policy. According to the Los Angeles Times, family planning officials "chased people down the streets and into the fields." Men and women "were rounded up for forced sterilizations" while illegally pregnant women were forcibly aborted. Police imposed heavy fines on couples who dared to have second children; those who could not pay had their valuables confiscated and their homes destroyed.
China has used the one-child policy to help "solve" other perceived problems. China has used "deception, pressure, and threats," according to the Uyghur Human Rights Project, to transfer hundreds of thousands of young Uyghur women out of East Turkistan into other provinces, where they either become brides for Chinese men or find themselves forced into prostitution or slave labor. Meanwhile, with so many of their women taken from them, Uyghur men have increasingly difficulty forming families of their own, turning the one-child policy into a genocidal tool.
There is little the United States can do to pressure China to give up the one-child policy, which even pro-choice activists call a form of torture against women. But there are glimmers that the Obama Administration cares about this issue. A few days ago Littlejohn was invited to speak at the White House about the one-child policy. In attendance were members of the White House Council on Women and Girls, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, and the Office of the Direction of National Intelligence. "I told them that no government policy, anywhere in the world, has caused more suffering to women and girls than China's one-child policy," Littlejohn told me.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has also spoken out forcefully on this issue. What is needed now is for Clinton to find out (as she is required by law to do) if any of the $50 million the U.S. appropriated to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) was used for a country program in China-which Congress forbids. If the UNFPA has indeed spent some of these funds in China, Clinton is required to report it to Congress. The amount of the funds UNPFA spent in China would then be deducted from the funds made available to the UNFPA.
Some observers, including the Times of London, say China is moving away from its one-child policy, and even encouraging couples to have a second child. But according to Littlejohn, the title of the Times piece, "China Steps Back from One Child Policy," is deceptive: If you don't fall within a specific group-if you don't live in Shanghai, for instance, where the elderly population is rapidly rising-you still need a birth permit, and the womb police will still issue a termination order for your unborn child.
Americans who have no desire to fund the on-going abuse of Chinese women and their families ought to contact the State Department and politely ask Clinton when she plans to follow through on the demands of the law.
Thirty years after the one-child policy was imposed, China's population is aging. After 2030, Littlejohn says, "the proportion of retirees to working people will increase to the point that the shrunken youthful population will not be able to sustain the retirees in their old age."
P.D. James's The Children of Men gives us a chilling hint of what may be in store for aging Chinese who were prevented, by leaders who played God, from having the children they wanted.

Amor Tentation Cacharel - User Opinions and Reviews
Date Added: 07/03/2015Cacharel Amor Tentation is an excellent sweet, delicious, oriental and easily wearable fragrance. This one amazed me as I wasn't into the Amor pour homme. It demands very little to be liked and still after such a long time I always enjoy it. Fascinating for such a simple aroma. Now the difficult part it to stock up as many bottles i can get my hands on before it vanishes from online stores...by James
Date Added: 10/11/2012I tried the version for women and thought, wow this is great, could almost be unisex. Well, the version for men is very much like the women's. A little less flowery, the entire scent comes across as something I would expect from Paco Rabanne, one of the Ultra family...maybe UltraIndigo or UltraPurple. its got a nice berry twang yet it manges to be soemwhat vibrant and masculine at the same time. Sweet and summery, and will last for hours.by steal scent
Date Added: 10/11/2012I just tested this fragance yesterday, I could smell in it the jasmin, the incense and the citrus notes, very nice, a litlle femenine, but it didn't last long and dissapeared a few hours later. I think I have to test it in a cold day, to get another impression.by marianov

As flood waters recede in southeastern Minnesota, counties are going to need money to deal with the damage. Early estimates say nearly 4,000 homes have been affected and access to some flooded towns is still restricted.
Some lawmakers say it may take legislative action to get the kind of resources needed for recovery.
