Do yourself a favor and skip Freeport. I worked in the schools for many years. Lots of good teachers (not all) but incompetent central administration and "know-it-all" Board of Ed with heavy personal agendas run the place into the ground. There are lots of gangs and a few overempowered "helicopter" parents run everything in the school. The basic problem is that your kid will get the mistaken idea that he's doing just great if he is not drug addicted and doesn't shoot anyone - pretty low expectation. School serves only the very top kids with big-mouth Mamas. A million special programs, a million rules and the place is out of control with very low expectations for students.

I would have to say that freeport is one of the worst towns to live in if you havent lived there your whole life its all gangs and drugs probly the best thing you can do living there is learning how to survive lol

the more i talk to people the more i want to move.no respect,people move from other infected area's and think because they bought a house they can do anything they want[party all night-scream and curse -park in your driveway-any idiot can get a house today-its disgusting-you can listen to rap all you want-your still going to be white in the morning-this town is DONE- don't move here-if you cherish your FAMILY.......DISGUSTED

Sure the roads are getting done. A little here, a little there, and all of Prince Ave. The mayor's street. Coincidence, I think not.

I would never recommend any family with small children or teenage children to move to Freeport. Besides the football team and south side natuical mile the town is a dump. Loaded with gang activity and obnoxious salvadorians who do nothing but mug, kill, recruit, and rape for a living. If your looking to move to the north side I strongly appose against doing so. I lived in freeport from birth until I was 16 and once I hit freeport HS it was a war zone with over 28 different gangs. I since then moved out to Suffolk where the houses are cheaper, you aren't up your nieghbors ass, houses have central air and inground pools and you have property. Yes the oxycodone and drugs are stronger out here do to rich kids and rich parents. But pick your battles gangs and possible death. Or marjuana and pills.

I too was brought up in freeport in the 50s and 60s, graduated high school there with a great education, and went to college in the midwest choosing to remain here for work after college. I went back to visit in the late 90s and after talking to some friends still there, it saddens me also to see what freeport has become. I remember having no trouble walking the streets coming home from a friends house at 1 in the morning in my late high school years with absolutely no fear of being jumped or whatever. I was sad to see the old Dodd Jr High School looking like Sing Sing. I was sorry to hear of all the gang activity and problems they are having. I have no desire to return for a visit. I'd rather remember freeport for what it was and not what it is now.

I agree I grew up in in Freeport It has gotten better than when I was younger if you have a kid don't let him go down near Remington apts. Freeport still has high crim compared to lake Jackson and clute nevertheless it's not a bad place just gotta stay connected with your neighbors and you'll be fine

There ARE such plugins available. One for Magento:
"This module was developed to enable businesses to incorporate and benefit from the Exactor sales tax compliance service within their Magento shopping cart. Exactor presents a sales tax compliance module for (i) calculating sales tax within the e-commerce shopping process; and (ii) generating and filing sales tax returns in all US jurisdictions (state and local). This plug-in was developed to enable businesses to incorporate and benefit from the Exactor sales tax compliance service within their Magento shopping cart. "
For X-Cart from Exactor:
"Exactor presents a sales tax compliance module for (i) calculating sales tax within the e-commerce shopping process; and (ii) generating and filing sales tax returns in all US jurisdictions (state and local). This plug-in was developed to enable businesses to incorporate and benefit from the Exactor sales tax compliance service within their X-Cart shopping cart versions 4.3.2 pro and 4.4.0 pro.
The Exactor Sales Tax Compliance Service is a fully automated, end-to-end sales tax solution that helps businesses regain time lost to sales and use tax administration while minimizing risks associated with these taxes. The service provides a single solution that: (i) Calculates sales taxes in real time accurate to the street level addresses; (ii) Prepares and files tax returns on behalf of the merchant in ALL jurisdictions (state and local); (iii) Reduces costs associated with sales tax compliance efforts; (iv) Reduces processing and human error; and (iv) Reduces liability.
The Exactor Sales Tax Compliance Service is certified by state taxing agencies for its accuracy and reliability.
Once installed, the user does not need to perform any additional functions to obtain sales taxes. The taxes are calculated and seamlessly displayed in the X-Cart shopping cart, and because the shopping cart communicates with the Exactor System, the Exactor System generates tax returns without the merchant having to transfer data from one system to another."

This article from Reuters makes the case for a federal sales tax but I still contend that the states will filter much of that money before it reaches the cities.

Chuck, the Reuters article you've linked makes no mention of a federal sales tax. You've deliberately mischaracterized the issue -- again.
There is NOBODY suggesting a "federal sales tax" or "national sales tax," except opponents of current sales taxes who seek to confuse the issue. (This thread title, "Federal Sales Tax Bill Introduced," might be misunderstood by some, but the bill proposes a federal law to allow states to enforce their sales-tax laws, not to create a federal sales tax system. After being corrected multiple times, you continue to misstate the issue.)
You have repeatedly sought to re-frame discussions about sales-tax collections.
You seem to be the only person here actually suggesting that Congress might enact a federal sales tax (though some now believe you), or put its hands in the state sales-tax cookie jar, or require all states to charge a sales tax (three examples just from this discussion thread). Your "question" whether states sales tax revenues are fairly shared with localities is another "red herring" since it pertains to ALL sales tax collections.
You've repeatedly posted fake "questions," leveraging your position as administrator of ABW to confuse and redirect discussion away from genuine issues, thereby derailing legitimate discussions of issues that are critical to the future of affiliate marketing.
Sometimes, it looks like you're just recklessly throwing out half-baked ideas, but over time I've concluded that you're deliberately trying to mask your personal biases while redirecting discussions to push a specific personal agenda (one which is contrary to the best interests of ABW and the affiliate marketing industry). Your actions continue to push folks away from ABW.

I am not faking the question I am merely trying to stimulate the conversation. There has been no progress on the bill introduced in late July by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin that I have seen. Don't see that I am trying to steer anything away for the discussion. This was posted in the general tax discussion thread.
In your opinion what are the "legitimate discussions of issues that are critical to the future of affiliate marketing"?

You're not "stimulating discussion," except to the extent that you've provoked folks to redirect their energies to try (in vain) to correct your statements, which appear reckless but which I believe are deliberately intended to confuse the issues and derail legitimate discussions and discourage serious participation.
The critical issue for affiliate marketing is whether states will continue to assert that performance-based advertising relationships create "nexus" under the U. S. Supreme Court's Quill decision. We all understand that the "nexus" laws aren't about sales-tax collection: the actual effect of such laws is to end performance-based advertising relationships between out-of-state merchants and web publishers in those states, without increasing collection rates for the sales & use taxes.
In my view, discussions aimed at eliminating these unwise, ineffective, and unconstitutional laws are critical to the survival of performance-based advertising (affiliate marketing). Your persistent efforts to derail and misdirect those discussions are succeeding, by discouraging folks from continuing to participate.
I need to stop wasting my time and energy dealing with you, Chuck. Good-bye.
October 4th, 2011, 04:55 PM #33You're not "stimulating discussion," except to the extent that you've provoked folks to redirect their energies to try (in vain) to correct your statements, which appear reckless but which I believe are deliberately intended to confuse the issues and derail legitimate discussions and discourage serious participation.
October 19th, 2011, 10:54 AM #34A new take on web sales tax collection
October 13, 2011, 3:18 PM
A sales tax bill with bipartisan support was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday, proposing a fast-track way for states to require online and catalog retailers to collect sales tax.
The bill exempts sales tax collection by retailers with less than $1 million in annual nationwide sales; for individual states, the exemption is based on having annual in-state sales of less than $100,000.
Again, NOT a Federal Sales Tax Bill, but a Sales Tax Bill introduced by the Federal Government.Salty kisses, Sandy toes, and a Pirate's heart...
October 27th, 2011, 01:21 PM #35
October 27th, 2011, 01:35 PM #36The Womack-Speier bill would require states to simplify the process for out-of-state retailers, including providing a single sales-tax rate, designating a single source for remitting sales taxes from out-of-state sales, and establishing uniform rules for what sales are taxable.
One key difference at this point between the proposed Senate measure and the House bill would be that the Womack-Speier legislation includes a higher small-business exemption.

There are 2 federal bills we support: H.R. 3179 The Marketplace Equity Act (Womack/Speier) and S. 1832, the Marketplace Fairness Act (Enzi/Alexander and Durbin). We are in massive fundraising mode so we can launch our DC campaign. It takes hiring our own lobbyists and building new coalitions. We're making progress, and we think we have a good chance. As a matter of fact, even our 'frienemies', Walmart, Target and BestBuy (who oppose us at the state level but we're on the same side in supporting the federal bills) feel that affiliate marketers are key to getting these passed in 2012. We won't have long, it's an election year, but we're going to give it our all.

Bloomberg article, nice to see some national attention: It's Retailer vs. Retailer in Internet Sales Tax Push
The Marketplace Fairness Act, and similar legislation that attracted bipartisan support, died in 2012's extraordinarily unproductive Congress, but Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) on Wednesday announced plans to reintroduce it.

I still contend that online merchants should charge and pay their local tax rate for all sales. Then let the states try to collect their share from the state it was paid to. It would encourage states to attract eCommerce merchants.[/QUOTE]
The the five states with no sales tax would have an awful lot of ecommerce merchants...
Believe they are:
Alaska (allows localities to impose a 1% to 7% sales tax)
Delaware (has a gross receipts tax as high as 2.07%)
New Hampshire
Next plan...Salty kisses, Sandy toes, and a Pirate's heart...

888 Challenge: One Sci-Fi/reread, starting another non fiction:
So after laylalawlor reminded me of Cordwainer Smith's novels with her talk of Sun Sailors, I had to break out Best of Cordwainer Smith. "The woman who sailed the Soul" is one of those perfect short stories (like "Ill met in Lankhmar" or Zelazny's "Tower of Ice"), which deals with the hazards of an interstellar trip on a sun sailed vessel. And "Scanners live in Vain" is really great as a fifties/sixties era sci fi story. So in following Chabon's Yiddish Policeman's Union, I picked up Neal Karlen's "The story of Yiddish" from the new book shelf at the library. I've started it and it is an amusing, anecdotal sort of book.

Gannet flies free:
Freed Gus' Gannet
Originally uploaded by gusgrosch
So Gus' Gannet was released today. When we picked it up off the beach it was 4.5 lbs and it weighed in at a respectable 7.4 lbs before release. He would have been released a week ago, had he not had worms. And he was so bossy with the pelicans, he got triple or quadruple dosed with worm meds (hidden in fish). He could not take the shore break when we found him, however today he was through a stronger shore break in five minutes. All the flight feathers are not quite in, but he is strong enough to do short hops and fend for himself.

Wind 10-15 mph from the west, midtide and falling, waves started at 2 feet around 1530 and built to 3-4 by 1630. A fine day paddling on small forgiving waves and trying out the new seat set up. I pedaled down and got lots of compliments for the kayak carrier.

So here is yesterday's rescue. He has gained 8 oz overnight. Three force feed fish and watered down cat food. He also has taken numerous chunks out of the wildlife rehabilitator's hand. He came in at 4.5 lbs and dehydrated. Normal weight is about 7lbs, the rehabilitator is aiming for 6.5 pounds.

And Me without my Camera:
Diving Sea Bird
Originally uploaded by gusgrosch
So doing the Sunday Morning Alternate Church service (walking by the beach with the boy) We come upon a gannet stranded above the surf line (tide going out, south winds 10-15mph, 1-2 foot waves). It honks at us but doesn't move (they are mostly swimmers and flyers). The boy walks behind it which annoys it enough to hop three times into the surf, where it seems to be floundering. After calls to the wildlife rehabilitator, we get a beach towel and capture the gannet(who had tired itself out in the shore break). We walk up to the rehabilitation center about the time the rehabilitator gets back from Walmart. She looked it over, said it was light, but good shape. It can't fly because it is changing from winter to summer plumage and all the flight feathers are not in yet.

First Spring Dip:
The boy and I biked down to the beach and took our first dip of the season. Winds from the South 10mph, Air Temp 70, Water Temp 65, Waves at 2 feet, 2 hours before low tide. We threw the water frisbee awhile and got out after 15-20 minutes.
In other news the wildlife rehabilitator had several calls about a pelican with broken wing from a beach across the river. She expected it to be one bird reported many times. The Aquarium staff went up and found it was four, which have all been turned over to her. She called the sheriff and suggested foul play (just too odd a circumstance).

text: When you post your pictures, how much editing do you do to them? Do you prefer to post "raw pictures" (strictly cropping and possibly adjusting the lighting), or do you edit them to do things like color/light correction, cropping, etc.? I ask this because there seems to be a big divide between people who prefer "natural" shots to edited ones... Me, personally, I'm a big believer in enhancing a picture's natural beauty so a lot of times I like to play with the exposure, contrast, and color in Photoshop. What about you?

School Council
Miss Savage held an assembly "Launching the School Council 2016" on the 4th October. After this assembly the election process began. All pupils from Primary Five up to Primary Seven who were interested in becoming a school councillor were invited to write a manifesto outlining why he or she should be elected onto the School Council. After having listened to the manifestos, all pupils were then asked to vote for one female and one male representative from their class. Another assembly was held on the 25th October to introduce the newly elected councillors.
Well done to everyone who took part.
Congratulations to our newly elected councillors for this year!

While at Critical Mass I was assigned to work on the Marshalls Canada's Instagram account. The retailer wanted to improve its representation with that audience ahead of the emerging trend of professional level photography in corporate Instagram accounts that's become common today.
Marshalls Canada offers current-season, brand-name and designer goods for men, women, teens and kids. I suggested that the best way to bring that to Instagram was to embrace the #OOTD (outfit of the day) movement and show inspired outfits that were created from items found in actual stores. Additionally, I wanted to combat the public perception that Marshalls was a grungy, discount retailer by ensuring their photography was at a polished level that would be at home in any fashion magazine or blog.
I delivered a style guide for the treatment of the branding and photography style, then directed in-store photo-shoots to bring the best of Marshalls merchandise to Instagram.

Unanswered: Filter by selection in an ADP shows #Error in Calculation in Form's Footer
See the attached file.....
I have a continuous form that shows invoices by date and customer.
if you click the customer field and then the "filter by selection" in the toolbar, the form will filter records for that customer only. the Total at the bottom will sum the invoice amounts for the selected or filtered customer....
the same applies to date - click a date field, click filter by selection, and the amounts are summed in the form footer by the selected date...
if you remove the filter, the amount is summed for ALL invoices....
this all works perfect in a MS Access .mdb - but when I try to do the same in a MS Access ADP, against a sql server database, the form sums properly for all records, but when I use a filter by selection the total shows #error.
does anyone know how to get this to work in an ADP?
Thanks - AB

In the case of a baby rescued from a sewage pipe in China, the mother likely will not face charges. Police reportedly have decided she made an error -- and wasn't trying to dispose of her infant.
The newborn boy has been released from a hospital in the care of his maternal grandparents, according to the Associated Press. At first, authorities were calling the incident -- in which the infant was rescued from a 3-inch-diameter pipe below a toilet -- a possible attempted homicide. Now, criminal charges are unlikely to be filed, the AP reports, citing local sources.
The 22-year-old unmarried mother told police she had kept her pregnancy a secret and gave birth to the baby in the restroom of the building where she lived.
As the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday, the woman said she did not try to dispose of the baby.
"She said she felt sudden pain and went to the toilet when the baby came out and slipped into the sewer pipe," Zhang Jianbo, a local police officer, told the China Daily. "She said that she did not have money to raise the baby."
The AP said the woman raised the alarm after the baby became stuck but also had cleaned the room of signs of a fresh birth. She did not come forward as the boy's mother until two days later.
The infant, who came to be called Baby 59 for his hospital incubator number, was shown in video footage being freed from the small pipe with saws and pliers.
The images led to a horrified reaction across China, with a deluge of gifts at the hospital and offers of adoption, according to the Guardian. But the news site said there were also expressions of sympathy as fresh details came out. One man said on social media that as a father he knew how much children needed their parents, but "I think this mother needs help too."

Integrated Air and Missile Defense Conference
- 28 September, 2015 - 30 September, 2015, Washington, DC, United States
Developing Joint Requirements for the IAMD Community in an Evolving International Landscape
Todays Military faces an abundance of challenges. Few are as devastating as those that rain down from the sky. With today's proliferation of missile technology to even the most extreme groups and governments, missile defense has become an ever increasing priority for the Military. By developing next generation defensive capabilities, the Military drastically erodes the ability of hostile actors to do America, or her allies, harm while simultaneously projecting force.
However, there are challenges. Requirements are still being influenced and set, technologies are still being researched, and joint integration concerns are still being addressed. From collaboration to innovation, there are still plenty of opportunities for you!

Last season's Old Globe hit production of Neil Simon's classic play "Lost in Yonkers" charmed audiences for weeks. More of Simon's noted work takes to the Old Globe stage when the tales of the Jerome family during the 1937 Depression, and again 12 years later, unfolds in "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Broadway Bound." The plays open on Sept. 14 and will be performed in repertory.
"Brighton Beach Memoirs" explores the world of young Eugene Morris Jerome. It's only natural for a Brooklyn kid to dream about playing baseball one day. So how does he fit in time for girls. dealing with an overbearing mother, an overconfident brother, and an overworked father?
Eugene finds that writing offers an escape to his reality and something worth pursuing as a future.
"Broadway Bound" takes place 12 years later.
Childish dreams have been put aside, but indeed Eugene is working as a writer. When he and brother Stanley are hired as radio writers, they want to write comedy and think nothing of using real-life situations from home as material for their shows. But in between the chuckles, Simon peppers his semi-autobiographical play with pragmatism and a sentimentality that feels very late '40s-appropriate. The boys soon discover some of the best comedy comes from their humorless family. Oh how they long to move out!
Scott Schwartz, who directed last season's hit production of "Lost in Yonkers," directs both productions — rehearsing one of them one day, the other the next.
"It's a big undertaking," Schwartz said. "But I feel they are really one big play, because we follow the characters from one play to the other, only 12 years later and, we see the culmination of the relationships."
Some of the cast members who perform in both plays include Karen Ziemba as the boys' mother Kate Jerome; David Bishins as their father Jack; and Blanche Morton as Aunt Bonnie. Austyn Myers ("Lost in Yonkers") plays the young Eugene in "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and Sloan Grenz portrays Stanley. In "Broadway Bound" Eugene is played by Brandon Uranowitz, Stanley by Joseph Parks, with Howard Green playing Grandpa Ben.
"We have an exceptional cast," Schwartz said. "Those characters who remain in both plays are particularly interesting because we can follow their storylines throughout their journey. Karen is awesome and a Tony-award winner ("Contact"). Austyn Myers is such a wonderful actor — funny and honest — and I think playgoers are going to be so impressed with him."
Two plays in two different decades on the same stage can present visual challenges, but Schwartz said the team was very loyal to those periods. In the first play, the set reflects how the Jeromes are still struggling with Depression-era income. In "Broadway Bound," things are somewhat better, but changes are not overdone.
Schwartz admits with any comedy, timing often is planned after the previews. "I love when something that was not funny in rehearsal is incredibly funny to the audience. I always love that moment. But it can also be vice-versa when they don't laugh at what we think is a funny moment. But that doesn't happen often."
Both plays are about family togetherness and what we share that helps us to survive. Patrons can see only one or either play, but Schwartz said ideally it's better to see both.
"Anyone who chooses to see only one play, will have a wonderful, full evening of theater, go through an extraordinary journey and have fun. But seeing both, and particularly in order, will be even more of a rich and fulfilling experience."
- What: 'Brighton Beach Memoirs' and 'Broadway Bound'
- Where: The Globe Old Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park
- When: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday; 8 p.m. Thurs-Saturday; 2 p.m. Saturday; 1 and 7 p.m. Sept. 14-Nov. 7

It is an EXPECTORANT, meaning that it will bring up substantial amounts of fluids in the upper respiratory/throat regions. I would SERIOUSLY recommend Promethazine with Codeine to be mentioned to your doctor for her sake, it is EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE for such a cough! Hope all is well :)

David Icke Newsletter Preview
Beyond Heartless ... Beyond Soulless ...
... Stealing Children For The State (And Who Else?)
The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On Sunday
Soulless, adj1. lacking any humanising qualities or influences; dead; mechanical soulless work
2. (of a person) lacking in sensitivity or nobility
3. heartless; cruel
4. Lacking sensitivity or the capacity for deep feeling
It also became clear - never more so than now - that there is another major source of children for the paedophile and Satanic rings that span the globe - Social Services.
These organisations are supposed to be there - officially at least - to protect the vulnerable, especially children, but the truth is that they have become vehicles for stealing children from their parents for no other reason than to provide an endless supply for the Satanists and paedophiles - many, once again, stolen to order.
A child in a community will be identified and put on the 'wanted list' and then Social Services will invent a reason to take the little boy or girl from their parents and hand them to 'foster parents' who are connected to the rings. Of course, this does not mean that all foster parents are paedophiles and Satanists, the vast majority are not, but a highly significant number are.
This is why the figures for stealing children from their parents on ludicrous grounds and in outrageous circumstances of cruelty and injustice are soaring across the world. It is also why the 'family courts' that make these decisions on the say-so of corrupt social workers and police are held in secret. The authorities claim that the secrecy is to 'protect the child' when it is really there to protect the Satanists and paedophiles, and the system itself, from public exposure.
Corruption is hardly a word that will suffice. Anyone with a functioning mind must know that the 'legal system' worldwide is corrupt to its core and about anything except justice; but the secret family court system is beyond even that. It is truly, truly evil.
Can you imagine what it must feel like to have your children stolen by the State when you know you have done nothing whatsoever to deserve it and the 'evidence' has been fabricated by social workers in league with police and judges? The pain has to be beyond understanding if it has not happened to you.
Some of Britain's most vulnerable young people have been effectively left at the mercy of paedophile gangs because of "absurd" secrecy rules, Education Secretary Michael Gove has said.
The Cabinet minister said red tape surrounding children's homes prevented police being given basic information about where youngsters lived and who was responsible for their care, leaving them at risk of "gangs intent on exploiting these vulnerable children".
His comments came as an in-depth report by the Department for Education into children's homes in England revealed councils were spending more than £200,000 per child each year - £4,135 a week - to place a child in accommodation.
It was compiled in the wake of the Rochdale sex abuse scandal of May 2012, which led to the conviction of nine men for offences relating to so-called localised grooming.
The report, which revealed for the first time the location of all children's homes in the UK, found that almost a third of homes fell below the Government's preferred minimum standard.
Mr Gove said almost half of children were placed in homes outside their local authority areas, and over a third sent more than 20 miles away, a practice he described as "indefensible".
The Daily Telegraph reported that councils spent more than £1bn a year to care for fewer than 4,900 children, with Bexley Council spending more than £3m a child on specialist privately-run homes last year.
Writing in the newspaper, Mr Gove said he had been met with a "wall of silence" when he tried to find out information about children's homes, with his department lacking basic information about their locations and who was responsible for them.
The regulator Ofsted was barred from giving information to the police by data protection rules and other "bewildering regulations", he said.
But he added: "There was one group of people, however, who did seem to possess all the information: the gangs intent on exploiting these vulnerable children.
"They knew where the homes were; they knew how to contact the children: at the fish and chip shop, the amusement arcade, in the local park, or just by hanging around outside the houses.
"In the name of 'protecting children' by officially 'protecting' their information we had ended up helping the very people we were supposed to be protecting them from.
"We shielded the children from the authorities who needed to be looking out for them.
"An 'out of sight, out of mind' culture developed."
Ellen Broome, policy director at the Children's Society, said she was "delighted" the Government had made information public, adding: "Only with transparency, scrutiny and accountability will things get better for these vulnerable children."
Barnardo's UK director of strategy Puja Darbari said: "Out of sight must never be out of mind when we are talking about vulnerable children in residential care.
"It is scandalous that criminal gangs know the whereabouts of these young people while those who are meant to protect them do not."

[On his 1$ annual salary] I make 50 cents for showing up … and the other 50 cents is based on my performance.
Steve Jobs, 2007.
I truly believe the challenge for IBM is that they can't survive by selling the same thing you can buy from somebody else for 30% less money. Their cost structure doesn't allow them to compete with companies that don't do massive amounts of R&D, that don't have twice as many employees as they need, et cetera, et cetera.
Steve Jobs, 1991.
Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart. We make it by innovation.
Steve Jobs.
You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it's humorous, all the attention to it, because it's hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that's happened to me.
Steve Jobs.
I'm the only person I know that has loss a quarter of a billion dollars in one year… It's very character-building.
Steve Jobs.
I bought an apartment in New York, but it's because I love that city. I'm trying to educate myself, being from a small town in California, not having grown up with the sophistication and culture of a large city. I consider it part of my education. You know, there are many people at Apple who can buy everything that they could ever possibly want and still have most of their money unspent. I hate talking about this as a problem; people are going to read this and think, Yeah, well, give me your problem. They're going to think I'm an arrogant little asshole.
Steve Jobs, 1985
I don't have the time to pursue love affairs or to tour small towns in Italy and sit in cafes and eat tomato-and-mozzarella salad. Occasionally, I spend a little money to save myself a hassle, which means time. And that's the extent of it.
Steve Jobs.

As you may have noticed, the market has gotten somewhat, shall we say, wild. This broadening pattern (or megaphone) on the daily chart of the futures is the cause (click chart to enlarge):
This is considered a topping pattern, however these things can also turn out to behave like bull-flags.
In other words, be careful out there. The market appears to be winding up for a big move. One of those red lines will be tagged soon.
Note: the SPX has a similar pattern, but the one on the ES is better defined. The SPX isn't open overnight, so it can only have a delayed reaction to events that occur when it is not open. So, I like using the ES chart better.

General Question
Do you have powers?
Asked by burntbonez (5197) December 6th, 2012
Are there times when you are more capable of things than at other times? I guess you might see this as a form of mania, like when you can do more work on less sleep or you have more ideas, or are more persuasive than at other times. If so, what are your powers and how did they help you?

The Annual General Meeting consists of four basic events:
*Our gathering as a clan at the Games itself.
*The Clan dinner on Saturday Evening at the hotel.
*The Clan Annual Meeting for ALL members on Saturday afternoon at the Games.
*The Clan Council Business Meeting on Friday Afternoon for officers , regional representatives.
The 2017 Murray Clan Society of North America AGM will be September 22-24 at the Ligonier Highland Games outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More than just a meeting, it will be an entire weekend to meet and enjoy the company of your fellow clanfolk!
The Ramada Ligonier Hotel has set aside a block of rooms for us under "Clan Murray". Standard rooms (1 queen, 2 doubles) are $117+tax/night. Deluxe rooms (1 king or 2 queens) are $137+tax/night. Call them NOW at 724-238-9545 or go to RamadaLigonier.com to reserve yours. Look for Saturday night's Clan dinner reservation form in the Spring Aitionn.
AGM weekend events will start Friday afternoon with a Council Meeting and Commissioner's Round Table. We are hoping to offer a short seminar on the history of Clan Murray or the castles of Clan Murray to those interested. You may also want to explore historic downtown Ligonier and Fort Ligonier. Friday evening we will dine at a local restaurant and then cap off the day with a get-together at our hospitality suite. It has been rumored that impromptu music and merry-making could occur!
Saturday's games are held at Idlewild Park. Those without cars will be accommodated. The events include all the athletics, piping, fiddling and dancing you would want, plus food and merchandise vendors. A tent (or two) will set up with plenty of room in the shaded clan area, providing food and drink and lots of conviviality. At noon we will take part in the Parade of the Clans and then have our membership meeting in the afternoon in the tent.
There will be plenty of time after all of this to get back to the hotel to change and get to the Clan Dinner, which is always a grand affair. We will be piping in the haggis – a very regal display complete with piper and a recitation of Robert Burns' "Address to the Haggis". After the meal, we will have the ceremony for the Installation of Officers, a raffle, and some other entertainment. Those still finding the energy can meet again at the hospitality suite for more celebrating.
Sunday we are hoping to be able to conduct a wreath-laying ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial which is nearby. Then it will be time to say our good-byes until we meet again.
Jane Murray,
Pennsylvania Commissioner

It's the early morning after, and if that glass on your nightstand is half empty, you may be even worse off than you thought.
While there suffice hangover remedies to make your head spin, many just resolve a small portion of the issue: dehydration.

If you have had one too many, here are a few of the most popular hangover treatments and how they can help:
* Water: It's the first step towards combating dehydration.
* Coffee: Coffee won't sober you up, however the caffeine will wake you up and assist that headache. However it can also increase dehydration and make your stomach feel even worse, so if you pick coffee as your remedy, beverage lots of water.
* Eggs: The protein in eggs helps provide energy. They also include cysteine, a nutrient that is believed to help rid the body of toxic substances.
* Energy drinks: Energy beverages can replenish lost nutrients and rehydrate your body. But one product, Hair of the Canine, goes beyond the common energy beverage since it likewise consists of detoxifiers that target the liver. Hair of the Pet includes natural stimulants to get your metabolic process going, 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, as well as B vitamins.
* Gingerroot: Gingerroot tea can settle your indigestion.
* Hot soup: Soup soothes the stomach and aids with rehydration.
* Bananas: Bananas are abundant in magnesium and potassium, which are diminished throughout heavy drinking.
* Honey: Honey will increase your blood sugar levels.
* Tomato juice: Since tomato juice consists of salt, it assists the body maintain fluids. In truth, any fruit or veggie juice will rehydrate your body and replenish it with vitamins and other nutrients.

Does any one have script in Unix level that will check if DB is up and send alert if no.

It depends on the db version. One could say "look at the oracle processes" but then that will not guarantee you the "db is up" just oracle processes are (it can be in restricted mode, for example). I would simply try to connect to it and catch whatever returns me (for example). That way I could determine if its really up for what I want.

Here's a script that I use to check if databases are running on a particular host. You could use the same logic, I guess, in your situation. This script checks for database availability(the pmon process of a database) as well as oracle listeners.
# File : DB_Status.ksh
# Desc : Script that lists the databases and listeners
# that are available.
echo "--------------------------------------"
print "Date : "`date '+%m/%d/%y %X %A'`
print "Desc : Database and Listener Check"
echo "--------------------------------------"
print "\n\t********* List of Database(s) on $host **********"
ps -efo comm | grep pmon | cut -c 10-17 | while read DB
print "\t$DB"
print "\n\t******** List of Listener(s) on $host **********"
ps -ef | grep tns | awk -F/ '{print $9}' - | while read TNS
print "\t$TNS"
return 0;
Hope this helps

Here's a rare bit of good news from the venture capital world. Boston-based Excel Venture Management has nailed down a $125 million fund to invest in new life sciences companies that it hopes will have broad potential to shake up a variety of industries, including information technology and alternative energy.
Excel has been operating for the past 18 months, but has been tight-lipped about its strategy because it hadn't yet closed its fundraising. The fund is led by a group of managing directors that formerly worked together for years at CB Health Ventures—including Rick Blume, Enrico Petrillo, and Steve Gullans, as well as Juan Enriquez, the founding director of Harvard Business School's Life Sciences Project. I got an up-close look at what the firm is trying to accomplish from Enriquez.
The fund's strategy is to look for ideas that have their roots in life sciences, but have broad potential as "platforms" that can be applied in other industries like IT, energy, agriculture, textiles, and chemistry, Enriquez says. This is becoming possible as biology is becoming more of a digital science, he says. The opportunities in life sciences are already starting to make an increasing impact on the financial statements of industrial giants like General Electric (a big maker of medical devices), DuPont (owner of Pioneer Hi-Bred International seeds), and even classic tech companies like Microsoft, IBM, and Google, which are betting big on digitizing healthcare and life sciences.
"About one-fourth of GE's earnings come from healthcare and life sciences companies, which is getting larger, while the share of financial services is getting smaller," Enriquez says. "At DuPont, the single largest driver of earnings is Pioneer seeds. For a lot of companies in a lot of industries, life sciences is the place they are looking for future growth."
So that's the lofty vision, but how is this supposed to work out financially? Plenty has been written about how the life sciences venture model is broken, partly because new drug development typically takes a decade or more, costs hundreds of millions of dollars, and has about a one-in-10 success rate in clinical trials. Excel's answer to that? It will strictly invest in companies with multiple opportunities, not single-drug, single-application companies, Enriquez says.
Excel has already tipped its hand a bit in terms of what kind of company it likes. The fund has made investments in Woburn, MA-based BioTrove, La Jolla, CA-based Synthetic Genomics, and Cambridge, MA-based Aileron Therapeutics.
If there's a common thread in these companies, it is that they have roots in life sciences, and that they are pursuing really big ideas. BioTrove is developing something called a "universal test tube" which essentially miniaturizes the amount of sample that a scientist needs to squirt in a tube for analysis, bringing down the cost of chemical reagents by 100 to 1000-fold, Enriquez says. This is cheap enough to enable all sorts of new experiments with agricultural seeds, or genetic variations of plants, animals, and people, he says.
Synthetic Genomics, which Enriquez co-founded with geneticist J. Craig Venter, is pursuing the idea of creating new biological organisms that can be used for cleaning up toxic spills or creating efficient alternative fuels, among other possible applications. And Excel's latest investment, Aileron Therapeutics, is attempting to develop a new kind of treatment called "stapled peptides" that can hit targets on cells that are unreachable by existing therapies, although it could also be used to program cells for uses in other industries, like energy and chemicals, Enriquez says.
That still doesn't answer how these companies will make money, or how Excel can get positive returns. The firm's plan will be to invest in 12 to 16 companies over the life of this $125 million fund, with investments as small as $500,000 to $1 million at the seed stage, all the way through some later-stage companies with depressed valuations that need just a little more capital to achieve an exit for investors, Enriquez says. The plan will be for Excel to make its investments, and try to nudge companies toward forming partnerships with big players in industry who can validate the approach as well as provide capital and expertise to further develop them, he said.
Excel sees a lot of the big ideas for life sciences emerging in the Boston area, although it doesn't limit its investing by geography. Enriquez hinted that his firm has its eyes on a company in California, and another in the Midwest, although he wasn't ready to name names. One area to watch for from Excel will be the intersection of life sciences and IT. The firm is interested in massive computing power needed to support genetic research that looks at how proteins interact in the body, and further studies of how minute genetic variations can affect human health, Enriquez says.
Given how many biologists still use old-school spreadsheets to try to analyze sophisticated data from new genomic tools—just to use one example of slow technology adoption—it's no surprise that this life-sciences platform approach has its share of skeptics. Enriquez says he's undaunted, and he's convinced that life sciences will become a platform for progress in other industries, much like how IT and the Internet have blazed more efficient trails across sectors.
"It's easy to be gloomy about the economy," Enriquez says. "I can remember attending a summit in 1994, and discussing an article at the time about the future of business. It never even talked about the Internet, yet it was already there. You're about to see the next really big companies, the next Googles, the next Intels, the next HPs, emerging from life sciences."

Iran Warships Expected to Arrive at Suez Canal Early Tuesday
Canal officials say ships to pay a fee of $290,000 for the crossing; if ships make the passage, it will mark the first time in three decades that Iranian military ships have traveled the canal that links the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.
Suez Canal officials say two Iranian naval vessels are expected to start their passage through the strategic waterway early Tuesday.
The officials have further stated that the ships are expected to pay a fee of $290,000 for the crossing. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
If the ships make the passage, it will mark the first time in three decades that Iranian military ships have traveled the canal that links the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.
View Suez Canal in a larger map
Israel has made clear it views the passage as a provocation.
Canal officials said Monday that the ships, a frigate and a supply vessel, are close to the southern entrance of the canal.
Canal authorities can deny passage only if they decide ships pose a safety risk. The ships are headed for the Syrian port of Latakia for a training mission.
The Israel Navy is monitoring the two ships, but no special preparations are being made amid intelligence assessments that the ships pose no threat to Israel.
After the Alvand and its supply ship, the Kharq, left the Persian Gulf port of Bandar Abbas more than three weeks ago, the frigate, its crew augmented by naval cadets, conducted maneuvers in the Gulf of Aden and in the Red Sea.
Despite the media and diplomatic fuss surrounding what will be the first voyage by an Iranian warship to the Mediterranean in more than three decades, the Israel Navy and the Israel Defense Forces are not taking any special measures. An IDF source yesterday said that as long as the ships, as expected, stay outside Israel's territorial waters and make no aggressive moves, there will be no confrontation.
The ships are not thought to be carrying arms shipments for Syria or Hezbollah, as was another Latakia-bound cargo ship stopped by the Israel Navy in November 2009, which turned out to be carrying hundreds of tons of weapons destined for Hezbollah warehouses.
Notwithstanding the reassuring remarks by security officials, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting that in sending the warships through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, Iran was trying to exploit the recent instability in Egypt. He did not suggest there would be an Israeli response.
"I think we see today what kind of unstable area we live in, an area where Iran is trying to exploit the situation that's been created to try to expand its influence by sending two warships through the Suez Canal," Netanyahu said.
"Israel views this Iranian move with gravity, and this move, along with other moves and developments, reinforces what I've been saying in recent years - that Israel's defense needs will increase and the defense budget will grow accordingly," Netanyahu said.
In a weekend press release, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that Israel is monitoring the ships' movements and has briefed friendly nations on the matter.
Although the British-built Alvand is the Iranian navy's flagship and is armed with Chinese-made missiles, Israeli military officials were confident yesterday that in the event of a confrontation the Israel Navy could sink it without advance preparation. "If the navy were to make a positive identification, it could be sunk almost immediately," one senior official said last night. "We're not even dealing with it, because [the Iranians] are only creating a provocation. From the military and marine perspective, the moment the ships enter the Mediterranean, they're entering a trap."
According to Ephraim Kam of Israel's Institute for National Security Studies: "Iran wants to say to the world, to the United States, Israel and other countries in the Mideast that it has reach not only in areas close to it but also farther away, including in the Mediterranean."
He said Iran is also signaling to Israel that it is prepared to protect its allies Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon on Israel's northern and southern flanks.

UK-based re-insurer Llyod's has initiated talks with insurance regulator Irda for starting operations in India and opening offices here. "Llyod's has informally approached Irda for expansion. They have been waiting for the passage of the Bill to take this forward," Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irda) chairman T.S. Vijayan told PTI.
Re-insurance industry is being opened up, he said, adding that Llyod's may be coming up with branches. Reinsurance is a business which provide insurance cover to insurance players. The amended law, passed by Parliament last week, enables foreign re-insurers to set up branches in India and defines 'reinsurance' to mean 'the insurance of part of one insurer's risk by another insurer who accepts the risk for a mutually acceptable premium'. It, thereby, excludes the possibility of 100% ceding of risk to a re-insurer, which could lead to companies acting as front companies for other insurers.
"Further, it enables Lloyds and its members to operate in India through setting up of branches for the purpose of reinsurance business or as investors in an Indian Insurance company within the 49% cap," according to official statement by the finance ministry. Irda will soon come out with separate regulations governing the insurance syndicates of Lloyd's and those who qualify under the norms would be allowed to operate.
The norms would ensure policyholders interests relating to claims settlement. "Lloyd's is the world's specialist insurance market. Unlike many other insurance brands, Lloyd's is not a company; it's a market where our members join together as syndicates to insure risks," the company website said. It has about 93 different underwriting businesses.

Over the next few weeks I plan to make some Valentine's Day inspired recipes. There's nothing like a homemade meal to show the people we love how much we care for them. I do enjoy a good theme so look out for my love inspired recipes. Depending on where you live there may not be many restaurants around for you to take the object of your affections for a fancy meal. So making something at home could be just the ticket. Apartments are small and kitchen are even smaller, but anyone can rustle up some chocolate covered strawberries from a quick trip to Homeplus. They taste great and will be sure to woo the one you love. Paired with a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine, you can't go wrong.
1 box of strawberries
150g of couverture chocolate (I buy mine at the bakers mart, but the Tesco finest brand at Homeplus works great too)
parchment paper
Melt the chocolate in a dry glass or metal bowl over a pan of simmering water. Meanwhile pat your strawberries with kitchen roll to make sure they are dry too. When the chocolate has completely melted dip the strawberries in one at a time, then put them on a piece of parchment paper stalk side down to dry. Put the strawberries in the fridge or in a cold room to set. Then enjoy with your special someone and a glass of bubbly. Voilà an easy Valentine's Day dessert.
0 comments on "Chocolate Covered Strawberries"
Hello, I just stumbled upon your blog. I also currently live in Seoul. Would you happen to know where I can actually buy chocolate covered strawberries? I want to purchase them for a friend's birthday. I appreciate any help that you can give, thanks!
I don't think I have actually seen them anywhere for sale but they really are very easy to make. There are various chocolate shops that you could try. Let me know if you want the names. You could always get your friend some cupcakes for their birthday. There are quite a few nice places around Seoul. x
A week ago, you could buy individual ones from street stalls in Myeongdong….near forever 21. I think they also did small pots with them in 😀
Thanks for your reply. Yes please I would like to no the names of the chocolate shops:)
Have a look at this post for some nice stores
You could try these too!


text: Hey Chris, Just wanted to share with you my latest frustration with IBM. You may or may not be aware, that the "Holidays" import that "Lotus" provided 10 years ago, will end at the end of 2016. Just to make sure I wasn't missing some critical update that included newer "Holiday" documents, I opened a PMR with IBM. Their response was, "there is an enhancement request open for this". Their "work around" for this issue, "you can edit the records yourself, to add the additional dates". An "enhancement request"? They can't afford to let a data entry person spend a couple of days creating newly updated "Holiday" documents. It's not like they are busy putting out new versions of Notes and Domino. (Since it has been almost 3 years since we had a point release, and that point release was mostly for bug fixes and XPages stuff.) You know as well as anyone, how much of a battle this is to keep a positive light on Domino. Constant bashing about it being a dead platform, and antiquated (which is the most ridiculous argument I've ever had to have)... BUT... when IBM doesn't support the simple things, it just makes me think, "IBM really is trying to kill Domino". OK... venting completed... I feel better now. Thanks for reading,

The product price includes 6 years' warranty and 180 day money back guarantee.
However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
- Warranty is extended to 6 years from the date of delivery.
- Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
- Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years
- Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 6 years if it has not been used!
- Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
- Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
- If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
- The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Once the product is delivered, you have 180 days to decide that you definitely want to keep it. If you decide it is not suitable for any reason, you can return it back to us for replacement or full refund, including standard delivery charges.
All Products are new unless stated, and include a minimum of 2 years warranty.
Some items are only eligible for money back guarantee if they are returned to us unused and sealed in the original packaging, and in the case of software, unregistered. These items include:
- Software
- CDs & DVDs
- In-ear Monitors
- Earplugs and Ear Protection
- Mouthpieces, Reeds etc… for Woodwind and Brass instruments
- Mouth / Lip Care Products
We are unable to accept returns of any custom made items designed to work together as a unique package, such as computer system built to a customer's personal specifications. Exceptions may only be possible with prior agreement of the vendor, and may be subject to a cancellation fee.
If you also purchase items that do not qualify for free delivery, some delivery charges may be applied to your order which will be shown in your shopping basket.
