Nationwide, people are changing how they think about transportation.
We get it. Change is hard. We tend to cling to our traditions and ideals – after all, what do we love almost as much as mom's apple pie? Our Chevy's. But don't panic. We aren't asking you to give up your beloved car — we just want you to think about how you get around Lexington every once in a while. You could walk, ride your bike, or hop on the free trolley.
Going green is good for everyone. Not only does it help our economy (for every $1 invested in public transportation, the community generates $4) but it also helps the environment and our own bodies. It's a win-win.
Join the new "MOVEment."
Move it People is a campaign sponsored by the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in an effort to help our city become the progressive, urban cool place it is destined to be. And our partners, LexPark and Lextran have joined in to help us get the message out.
So get out there and Move it, people!

Disneyland goes to war-torn Iraq, with a multi-million dollar entertainment complex, to be built on a 50 acre lot adjacent to the Green Zone. ("Fun park rises from ruins of Baghdad zoo", The Times, London, 24 April 2008)
Al Zawra park
The American-style amusement park will feature a skateboard park, rides, a concert theatre and a museum.
The occupation forces are of the opinion that Baghdad is "lacking in entertainment". General David Petraeus, is said to be a "big supporter" of bringing Disneyland to Baghdad.
Fox News considers the project as a "market signal that the arrow is pointing up.: ...We should not refuse to take notice when good things are happening in Iraq. Item number one, a Los Angeles entrepreneur said he plans to invest millions to create a vast entertainment and amusement complex in the center of downtown Baghdad." (Fox News, April 26, 2008)
Supported by the Pentagon, an unknown Los Angeles based holding company C3 of unnamed private equity investors, will be developing the "Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience". The park will be designed by Ride and Show Engineering (RSE)
RSE founders Eduard Feuer and William Watkins pioneered Walt Disney's "Imagineering", the design and engineering division of the Walt Disney Company, before setting up RSE as a separate corporate entity.
RSE has developed numerous large scale entertainment complexes around the world including a project at the Anaheim California Disney Complex.
The American Dream
The entertainment park is an integral part of war propaganda.
Establishing an American cultural outpost in an occupied land serves to uphold the legitimacy of the invaders and their Worldwide "cultural values".
Most of the country's cultural and educational infrastructure including museums, schools, universities, parks, theaters, cinemas have been destroyed and now the invaders are "helping to rebuild".
Under this "reconstruction effort", America is to donate 200,000 California style skateboards to Iraqi children.
The skateboard is a symbol of American pop culture, which has attracted "a tough, independent, and rebellious type of urban youth, who have created their own subculture."
What happens when, under the auspices of the Pentagon, these colorful skateboards (with suggestive subliminal images) are brought from Los Angeles, California to Baghdad...
What will be the impact on impoverished Iraqi kids and adolescents living under US occupation?
The hidden agenda is to cut them off from their own social reality, depoliticize Iraqi youth and curb anti-American sentiment.
More generally, through Hollywood imagery, the Baghdad style Disneyland is intended to nurture Iraqi public opinion, mould a pro-American view of the World as well as weaken the resistance movement against the US occupation.
Through the use of motion based simulations and sophisticated entertainment equipment, the harsh daily realities of poverty and military occupation are replaced by a World of fiction and fantasy.
The concept underlying Disney's Imagineering (developed by RSE) is to "overcome the barriers between reality and dreams".
The objective is to replace reality by a dream world
Iraq's daily realities of death, destruction and torture are replaced by a "Dream World Made in America".
The imagery and motion simulations intended for Iraqi children and adolescents provide a "human face" to the American invaders.
The project constitutes a despicable form of war propaganda. It is a cover-up of the extensive war crimes committed against the Iraqi people in the name of an illusory "American Dream".
The project will take possession of the existing Al Zawra park and Baghdad Zoo, which was ransacked when US troops entered Baghdad in April 2003.
Also in April 2003, Iraq's archeological treasures were looted with the support of the American invaders. The pillaging of Iraq's cultural heritage was a premeditated act. The looters were protected by the invaders.
And now the looters return to Baghdad with a new museum.
Psychological Warfare
The Baghdad Disneyland-style project has all the essential features of a PsyOp. It is intended to instill American values and destroy Iraqi identity.
"The people [of Iraq] need this kind of positive influence. Its going to have a huge psychological impact," said Mr. Werner of C3.
In a cruel irony the PsyOp target group are Iraqi Children:
"There are all sorts of investment opportunities all over Iraq. But it's not just hydrocarbons. Half the Iraqi population is under the age of 15. These kids really need something to do," (Mr. Brinkley, quoted in The Times, April 24, 2008)
Iraq's cultural heritage is destroyed.
The historical memory of Mesopotamia is wiped out.
US investors are to "bring badly needed fun" to the war theater.
The sponsor of project Mr. Llewellyn Werner says the time is ripe for a "fun park":
"I think people will embrace it. They'll see it as an opportunity for their children regardless if they're Shia or Sunni. They'll say their kids deserve a place to play and they'll leave it alone."(Ibid)
According to a spokesman for the US installed Iraqi regime:
"There is a shortage of entertainment in the city. Cinemas can't open. Playgrounds can't open. The fun park is badly needed for Baghdad. Children don't have any opportunities to enjoy their childhood." Mr al-Dabbagh added that entry to the park would be strictly controlled." (Times, April 24, 2008)
Children don't have any opportunities to enjoy their childhood?
What kind of childhood can be "enjoyed" in a land where public infrastructure, including schools and hospitals have been transformed into rubble?
Imagine the road-blocks and military check points that impoverished Iraqi children will have to go through to see Mickey Mouse...
The US investment company will essentially take possession of municipal lands in an undisclosed deal reached with the Mayor of Baghdad.
At the moment the site is occupied by the Al-Zawra park and zoo, where Baghdad residents gather on weekends. The park is typically Iraqi with ponds, fountains, sculptures, and children's playgrounds.
"Everything Here is for Profit"
The site is a functioning national park, which is slated for privatization. It is prime real estate for the US investors. The California holding company C3 plans to use the land for lucrative investments in hotels and upscale housing. No doubt, for the project to be profitable and financially viable, it will also require direct financing by the Pentagon.
"I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't making money":
"Mr Werner will retain exclusive rights to housing and hotel developments, which he says will be both culturally sensitive and enormously profitable... I also have this wonderful sense that we're doing the right thing – we're going to employ thousands of Iraqis. But mostly everything here is for profit."

Synopsis: Visit King Ludwig II's
famous Schachen Jagdschloss, his favourite
mountain lodge near Mittenwald. Magnificent views, sometimes demanding trails, gravel, comfortable
rests and lovely lakes - that's hard to beat.
Variants: Also start from Elmau,
return home at Wettersteinalm or ride back over Elmau. The German
page for this trip is here.
What was called only just rideable in former days, is not so hard to
do nowadays,
especially when using a full suspension bike. But still the cart trails, the gravel
and the rock steps remain a challenge.
We start in Mittenwald and take the street in the direction
Leutasch . At the first sharp curve we leave the asphalt
road and go straight on to the Lautersee and the Ferchensee.
After passing the Ferchensee we take the first
branch to the left after a total of 6 km following the sign to Schachen / Bannholzer
Weg , where
we go straight on at the next branch. At about km 9,5 we reach
a forest clearing where we manage the first gravel trail to
the left for some
hundred meters before we turn to the right. Here a first foretaste is
waiting for us. A small rocky cart single trail leads
us to a wide forest street after 1 km.
On this we fly down and brake our speed before we reach
the forest path from Elmau to Schachen, where we
have to turn left sharply to Schachen
After 2 km we reach the end of the well maintained forest road
at the
fence of the Wettersteinalm. Now the real work starts. We turn to
the right. On cart trails, mixed with gravel, wooden roots and
rock plates we ride up the Königsweg (Kings way) to
Jagdschloß Schachen.
A really magnificent landscape with
Alpspitz and Zugspitz view waits for us on our
way to Schachen . After the first look at
our today's destination we enjoy a short downhill before
fighting up
the last kilometer to the castle and the
Don't miss a visit to the botanic alpine garden planted with over
1000 species of mountain plants from all over the word. The garden
is open daily from the beginning of July umtil the middle of
September. And also don't
miss a visit the view point some meters behind
the alpine garden down to Oberreintal.
A sightseeing tour of the lodge should also be on your cultural
program for today.

Advion Ant Bait Gel

Jessica from Merrimack, Nh writes,
Can Advion Ant Bait Gel be used in crevice at copper piping location?
The ants are coming up through the base board heating system on the copper piping. The heater is currently not in use but I want to make sure when the winter season comes the heater can be used without fear of fire due to advion gel in the crevice.
You may use Advion Ant Bait Gel around copper pipes but I would advise against putting gel inside of a baseboard heating system. You should be able to put small dabs of the gel around the baseboard heating system without putting it inside and the ants will still seek out and consume the bait.

DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2006 -- (House of Representatives - November 17, 2005)
Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I want to say back during the spring we went through our annual budget process. The Budget Committee has testimony from all sectors of society and the government who are affected by the budget. It is a good debate.
In the final analysis, that budget came to the floor and after weeks and months of discussion and arm twisting, it passed by a vote of 214-212. I may be wrong on this, I do not think any of the Democrats voted for it. Most of the Democrats, I would say, are very consistent saying we should be spending more money and, therefore, they voted against it. But there are other Democrats who are saying look at the deficit, look at this, look at that. Boy, these Republicans are spending too much. There is clearly a mixed signal here, and clearly some dissension in the Democratic ranks.
But when you pass a budget in the spring and it is passed by this body and the other body, then the subcommittees of Appropriations have to follow that budget. That is what this does. Sometimes making these decisions is very, very tough.
This bill actually eliminates 29 lower-priority programs. One of the programs I am a supporter of, the National Youth Sports Program, I like that program. They operated in Savannah. But when you look at the context of some of the other programs and you realize this is run by the NCAA, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and they are the same people who put on the Rose Bowl, the Rose Bowl alone generates $30 million in revenue. Perhaps they can replace the $18 million that Congress is putting into it right now. There are ways to keep these programs alive even though the Federal Government is not picking up the tab for them.
It is my hope on these 29 programs that are terminated, that the local, the State level will step in, the private sector will step in; and a lot of what they are doing are duplicated in other programs. I have to say that these are very important.
I have to say also, Mr. Speaker, that I had a lot of local programs that were eliminated. These are programs which I have worked very hard on over the years to try to get into this budget. Those were the earmarks: Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Georgia; St. Joseph's Hospital in Savannah, Georgia; a project for the city of Moultrie; the Warner Robbins Aviation Museum; the Civil Rights Museum in Savannah, Georgia; and Brunswick Hospital. These were a lot of good programs that I personally hoped to get in, things that were within the budget that were doable. And yet in the end because of the legislative process, all earmarks had to be eliminated.
I was not happy about that, but I understand. In the bigger picture of things, you have to do what the body can pass, what there are votes for.
In this case, where did the money go? It went to community health clinics. It goes to Medicare modernization and medical research.
Incidentally, we talk about the NIH. The funding for the NIH has doubled under Republican leadership under a commitment made by the former Speaker, Mr. Gingrich. I have to say, I am a little disappointed in what we have gotten for our money. I have not seen a plethora of medical solutions and new devices and vaccines and all kinds of other research that I had hoped doubling the NIH budget would give us. Nonetheless, NIH still gets an increase under this bill.
The bill also restores community service block grants. Lots of things like the Job Corps program are funded in this bill. Despite its tightness in some areas, Mr. Regula has worked with the committee to put on what I think is a solidly balanced bill and face the economic realities of today with today's budget.

Norton Working to Prevent House Floor Vote on Nullifying D.C. Medical Aid-in-Dying Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said she is only in round one to prevent the House of Representatives from taking up a disapproval resolution to nullify the District of Columbia's medical aid-in-dying bill, the Death with Dignity Act, which was passed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (OGR) last evening. Norton said the 30-legislative-day congressional review period for the disapproval resolution is projected to expire on Friday, February 17, 2017, and that the House and Senate would need to pass the disapproval resolution and send it to the President's desk for a signature in order to nullify the local D.C. bill. Although time is running out on the congressional review period, Norton is watchful as Republicans may try later to repeal the District's medical aid-in-dying legislation by attaching a rider to other bills.
"Although we are close to accomplishing our goal of defeating this disapproval resolution and preserving the District's local legislation, we are not counting our chickens quite yet," Norton said. "We are keeping the pressure on House Republicans and reminding them that 24 of their House Members, including two Members of House leadership, are from the six states where medical aid is dying is legal. I am particularly encouraged by the continuous action of D.C. residents, who are letting Congress know through their calls, tweets, and visits that they are sick and tired of being treated like second-class citizens and having their local democratic rights violated. Last Congress, we defeated numerous attempts by House Republicans to overturn D.C.'s local anti-discrimination law that prohibits employers in D.C. from discriminating against employees, their spouses or their dependents based on their reproductive health decisions. We intend to achieve similar success with Death with Dignity and are prepared for the long haul."

HEALTH Minister Lawrence Springborg said the equivalent of 2000 full time nursing jobs could be cut over the next six months as the funding war with Canberra escalates.
The state yesterday said the positions were on the line as a result of a $103.4 million mid-financial year Budget blow by the Gillard Government.
The cuts could force the total number of public service job losses to climb beyond the 14,000 initially announced by the Newman Government.
That includes the potential loss of 400 staff from the Metro North Hospital and Health Service district, which will lose $22.5 million in federal government funding.
"So you are taking out the equivalent to 2000 jobs over a six-month period. That is the brutality of these federal cuts," Mr Springborg said.
"Everyone is trying to minimise the impact of it though through reducing overtime and finding other areas of non-essential expenditure."
Looming staff cuts tied to federal funding reductions in December were not factored in to the Newman Government's previously announced 14,000 job losses.
The Premier yesterday said he was prepared to take full responsibility for his previously announced job cuts, but not those attributable to federal funding cuts.
"We won't be going after further savings in terms of staff numbers," he told Radio 4BC yesterday.
"But we can't be to blame for what they (the Federal Government) have done in terms of their rather underhanded job cuts.
"There will be no more (job cuts) from us, but what you are seeing in health right now are Julia Gillard's and Wayne Swan's (cuts)."
Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan denied a new indexation agreement had led to a $103.4 million funding cut, saying federal funding would instead grow by $600 million over four years.
He said while the Federal Government was increasing funding, the State Government was "ripping" $3 billion out of its health budget.
Mr Springborg rejected the claim, saying the LNP had increased health funding by $817 million this financial year.
The funding dispute comes as the Newman Government passes the halfway point of its public-service purge, which includes removing 3400 temporary or vacant positions and 10,600 redundancies.
Of the 10,600 redundancies, 6913 workers have so far been offered voluntary redundancies.
The majority of those have been in the Transport and Main Roads Department, followed by Queensland Health.
About 6300 employees - or almost 92 per cent - have accepted offers. Another 239 people are still considering their offers.
About 340 staff have declined their redundancy offers and requested a transfer to other public service positions.
Most have already found alternative permanent public sector jobs, according to a spokeswoman for the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Overall, the state's public service has shrunk from 205,331 full-time workers in the June quarter of 2012 to 201,762 workers in the September quarter 2012.
The full impact of the latest staff cuts on the total size of the public service will not be known until updated figures are released next month.

Jiyai Shin said before the Ricoh Women's British Open that Rory McIlroy's example has inspired her. She then went out and took a page out of McIlroy's major championship form by overpowering the field in taking the Open at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club by nine shots.
It was Shin's second straight LPGA Tour win, and 10 th overall. She took the Kingsmill Championship in Williamsburg, VA when she defeated Paula Creamer in a nine-hole playoff that carried over to last Monday.
Shin is 24 years old. McIlroy is a year younger. Like McIlroy, Shin swings the club so smoothly that she defines "rhythm." McIlroy won the 2011 U.S. Open by eight shots, and the PGA Championship last month by the same Secretariat-like margin. Shin won the Women's Open by nine shots, as she shot 71-73 on Sunday to be the only player under par. She finished at nine-under 279, beating her fellow South Korean Inbee Park by those nine shots.
"I think Rory is very good for me to look at," Shin had said during a press conference Wednesday in advance of the opening round. "He was a little down, but after he won the PGA Championship he won another two. So I'm like, okay, it's my turn to win again."
McIlroy has won the last two FedEx Cup events, and goes into the upcoming Tour Championship the leader in FedEx points. He's playing the sort of golf that makes him appear invincible, although there's no such thing. It would be foolish to think Shin is going to continue winning tournament after tournament, just as it would be silly to think she couldn't become women's golf most dominant player.
Consider what she's accomplished. She's won those 10 LPGA Tour events. The 2008 Women's British Open was one of her wins, which makes her, like McIlroy, a double major winner. But enough of the comparisons to McIlroy. Shin stands alone on the LPGA Tour, and that's good enough. It's much better than good.
Shin has not exactly had it easy off the course. She was 16 when she got a phone call informing her that her mother had been killed in a car accident. Her younger brother and sister were seriously injured, and were in the hospital for nearly a year. She moved into the hospital to help care for them.
The insurance money from the accident that killed her mother helped finance Shin's professional career. She won 21 times on the LPGA Korea Tour. She won three of 10 tournaments she played on the 2008 LPGA Tour as a non-member, including the Women's British Open. She joined the LPGA Tour the next year.
In 2010 Shin had to take time off due to appendicitis. Earlier this year she had wrist surgery this year on May 24 th and had to take two months off from competition. At Royal Liverpool, better known as Hoylake, and the links where Tiger Woods won the 2006 Open Championship, she shot 64 in the second round. She didn't miss a fairway or green. She astonished even herself.
Then, on Sunday, she locked out the field. She locked them out even after triple-bogeying the first hole in the last round. (The golfers had to play two rounds on Sunday because foul weather Saturday rendered golf impossible). Never mind that triple-bogey, she told herself. She said she was shocked by the triple, but implacably, she played on.
So it was that she came to the par-five 16 th with darkness settling quickly over Hoylake. The strong winds were making it difficult for players to remain stable over the ball. She was on top at that point by miles and was going to win. That was obvious. She hit her second into a pot bunker, 30 yards short of the green.
There's no shot more difficult than a long bunker shot. Shin picked the ball cleanly and it cleared the bunker face easily. The ball finished 18 inches from the hole. Birdie.
"That was a 10 out of 10, easy," television commentator and former PGA Tour player Bill Kratzert said.
Shin soon chipped close to the hole on the final green, and tapped in her par putt to make the win official. No wonder her nickname translates as Final Round Queen.
Shin held the trophy aloft in near-darkness. An Asian had won every women's major this year. She couldn't offer any reasons why this had happened, but she was aware of what the win meant to her.
"My first win in 2008 changed my life," Shin said of her first Women's British Open victory. "This week, this win, I think it will change it too. I said at the start of the week I wanted to play every round in one under par so to get to nine under in this weather on a course as tough as this is incredible. Now I know I can get a good score on any course, I'm pretty sure of that."
Shin has every reason to be sure of that.

Finally Success!!!
I tried p5dbkw's suggestion here:
The only thing you have to watch is the "Agree to license and download now" box popped under the FileHippo page.
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~
As a test. I then went to the site I found from Kashile on the social.technet site, and it too worked.: ZEPoRAMA.com : Découvrez le véritable ZEP en chair et en pixels. L'actualité de Titeuf et des autres héros de Zep sur son site officiel
It installed on IE8 just like it would with less hassle with FireFox.
Don't worry 'bout the language it was painless and automatic.
As a matter of fact (Don't ask me why) the installs from zeporama initialize, and run faster than the ones from FileHippo.
I'll give anyone three guesses which download I kept, and the first two don't count!

I have torn my hair out over this. I must have uninstalled & reinstalled a dozen times, first getting something like "not authorized", then getting "download complete". Then it disappeared and was not recognized on the Adobe test site.
Then I read your post #3, did the manual install, still no go. Then I followed these instructions that you wrote "If not, you may want to go to Tools --> Manage Add-ons and then ensure that on the left hand side below "Show:", you select "All add-ons". Then on the right-hand side, look for one called "Shockwave Flash Object" and check to see if it is enabled or not. If it is disabled, click on it then below, click to enable it."
Eurkea! If you were sitting here, I would kiss you! Thinking back on what may have happened, everything was working fine, then my brand new Dell OptiPlex started slowing down. So I disabled a bunch of add-ons, messaging crap and the like, just about everything I thought I didn't need. Couple days later, I went to You Tube (I know, not on company time...) and it said I needed to update my flash player to view the video. Then all this started and I was stumped. Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a bug, it's a feesure!
What are you talking about? There is explicit code in the Flash 10 player installer to check for a more recent version and not install if there is. Version 11 makes 10 obsolete by design. This is more marketing crap to get you to upgrade your browser. Oh, there's no higher version for your OS? Upgrade your OS. It's a big Win 7 promotion.
Bottom line, if you're using IE 8 and are prompted to upgrade to Flash 11, don't do it! The other part of the arm twisting is sites like youtube that won't work anymore in version 10. That's because there's a tag in the html page that basically says, "require version 11". The code is still version 10- sometimes as old as 6!- and those swfs will play JUST FINE. They only don't, and prompt you to upgrade because a programmer stuck a tag in the html that said so. They want the latest version on their resume, screw you. Ditto the marketers.
Some sites maintained an offline installer for version 10.3 so that you could get around this. Of course the legal beagles had to threaten them unless they cooperated in screwing you up the arse. No doubt it still around somewhere if you can find it.
Bottom line, this is the kind of crap you accept when you run Windoze. You really need to sit down and think about why you're trusting your computer to people that put marketers wet dreams ahead of your being able to get stuff done, every time.

Hi WroteWindoze1, welcome to 7F!
Thank you for the added tutorial, but as the Thread Starter, and pseudo Moderator I must ask you why you feel the need to shout even though you do not use Caps.
To paraphrase your paragraphs.
In your second post:
I would like to make a request, If you still desire to continue to post in your "fashion" Please, keep that form of decorum reserved to your personal sphere, and not in any of my threads!
I could make a request to the Adminstrators, and Moderators here at 7F to remove your first post, the reason?
Your reference to a "nocturnal emission", but I think I will wait, wait to see if you do the right thing, you do have the power to edit your post.
You do have an intuitive mind, let us think of Tron; in order to see, not only the problem, but beyond the problem. Do not waste it on trying to be cocky.

Sebastian Marroquin, born Juan Pablo Escobar, is the son of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar and at one time was heir to the largest drug trafficking empire in history. He has been featured in one documentary, Sins of My Father (2009), and has written one book, "Pablo Escobar: My Father" which was published in 2014. He is an architect and engages in motivational talks to encourage peace and reconciliation.
Harvard Political Review: From watching Narcos, I always see that when you are together with your father and sister there always seems to be a moment in which you guys are interrupted by Escobar's guards and sicarios (hitmen) and I wonder, did you ever have an uninterrupted moment or a one-on-one with your father?
Sebastian Marroquin: Well, I would say, and as I have said before, the series [Narcos] does not demonstrate real happenings but rather events that the screenwriters, in their own taste, believe depict the way we lived. In reality, my father always interrupted others to be with his family. My father's priority was always the family. I would go to the office to visit my father and regardless of who he was meeting, he would drop everything to receive me in his office. In the series, the priorities that my father demonstrates are completely inverted and untrue.
HPR: From reading your book, I read that when you are only 7 years old you realize what your father truly did for a living. How does one react to that when one is 7 years old?
SM: I will answer that question but I also wanted to add something to the last question. Throughout the series, I appear younger and younger – I don't know why that is particular to Netflix, to show the evolution of Pablo Escobar's children in that manner.
When I was 7 years old and my father tells me "my profession is that of a bandido (a bandit) that is what I do" – these are the words he tells me after the assassination of the Minister of Justice ordered by my father himself in 1984 – it's very difficult to react to that when you are only 7 years old because you don't realize the significance of the word bandido. Sure, at that age you may have seen movies with guns and crime but by then I also knew something strange was happening in my family because it all changed drastically after the killing of Rodrigo Lara. Clearly, something I am grateful for today is that my father had the strength to recognize and tell me about his activities instead of selling me a fabricated story. I think that helped us build a relationship based on trust. I think it also helped him to talk about his activities, almost in a confessionary manner, when he talked to the press about the bombs he had placed, the people he had kidnapped, or other activities of that type. So, in a way, my father reached a certain degree of sincerity that I became to know and I would even say appreciate because I would have rather had my father treat me like this rather than as an idiot that would never have any idea about what was happening around us. No one prepares you at 7 years of age to have your father tell you he is a criminal – you are still a kid and you are thinking about playing and having fun, things that have little to do with reality. This forces you to grow and mature before due time.
HPR: I was reading your post "28 Things Narcos gets Wrong" and from what you are telling me I am interested in something. You write that when you would watch the news with your father, he would tell that he planted that bomb and then you write that you would "argue" about the event. How were those types of discussions?
SM: I argued constantly with my father because I never liked all the violence that he created. I was perhaps one of the few people that were not part of his group of yes-men because I was not a direct beneficiary of the violence that his actions generated. I did not like his actions because I did not think it was right to have bombs placed in a non-discriminatory fashion throughout the entire country. I would argue with my father about his violent attitude and I would tell him to stop his violent ways and to think about peace as an alternative, especially given the many problems he was having. However, he would reply almost immediately by telling me "you are forgetting that the first bomb that exploded in Colombia was an attempt against you, your sister, and your mother – I did not invent narcoterrorism, narcoterrorism was first used against my family." Thus, it was very difficult to go farther than that in the arguments with my father because he would always have a story or a justification to tell you, which I never considered valid because there is not an excuse for violence. I think these discussions with my father even gave the label of pacifist, particularly with my father, and he mentions this when he turns himself in to prison at La Catedral when he dedicates his action to his 14-year-old pacifist son. I did not begin to talk about peace when my father died nor did I begin to criticize him at that point – I did this when I had him in front of me, I was one of his harshest criticizers and I never applauded his violence. Why? Because for every stone that he threw, he would get many thrown back at him and us, his family, because we were the most vulnerable. In these types of extreme situations, we learned about the consequences of violence and that is why we did not go down the same path.
HPR: Do you think your father ever had an opportunity, or a moment, in which you could have told him or he himself may have stopped his ways?
SM: Well, I think he wasted an incredibly opportunity which was when he stayed at the prison he made, La Catedral. It was the one chance that the government and the people of Colombia gave him to confess his illicit activities and to remain in one place with very favorable conditions. Sadly, he ended up throwing away the one opportunity he had. I naively thought, as a son and as many other Colombians, that he would take this opportunity to make amends with the country. Regrettably, to deactivate an entire cartel also proved to be a difficult task for my father and with all the enemies he had, even more. I am not saying this to serve as a justification for the things he did, but rather to demonstrate the context of his situation and the reason for his actions, for which only he is responsible for. I think it was very difficult for him to try to bring down the very criminal organization that he had created and by the time he wanted to stop, he was unable to.
HPR: On that note, do you think that once one has entered the drug trade, can one get out?
SM: I believe so. I am convinced that we all have the decision to act on a daily basis. I am a good man and I behave well on an everyday basis. It was not a decision of waking up one day and saying "I will be a good person today, problem solved", no, it has to be an everyday thing. I think it's a myth that one cannot leave any organization once you've entered one. I think one has to be aware that a change needs to be made to improve one's life and then there will always be alternatives and choices that can lead you away from a life of violence. It's important to learn from the past and people's experiences, not only from my father's as a drug dealer, but from others that have ended just the way he did. I am surprised that many people disregard the fact that the end for almost all drug dealers ends up being the cemetery or the jail cell, we do not know of any case where a drug dealer has "retired".
HPR: What would you tell the children of other drug dealers, particularly those who live glamorous lifestyles and show it on social media?
SM: The only thing I would tell them would be to look at my life as an example and to learn from it. When one is that powerful and one think life will last like that forever, it is simply the most ephemeral thing. I don't think these sons and daughters of drug dealers are contributing to a lasting peace nor to human values that add to our society. They're delivering the message of riches and power that comes at the cost of people's lives and health and they incentivize young people to follow this model.
Of course, I think this is something that Netflix does much better. If you analyze the enormous amounts of effort and attention that has been given to my father's image due to Narcos, I am sure of one thing: if I did the same exact thing that Netflix does with my father's image, I would be killed, do not doubt it for a second. The pictures I have been sent that display my father in places around the world such as the metro in Barcelona or downtown Los Angeles, I cannot understand the amount of publicity that has been given to my father in addition to the message that is spread because of this. If I were paying to display images of my father [like Netflix does] in the United States, I am sure I would face legal sanctions and I would even be killed for doing it. And Netflix receives applause instead of criticism for it.
HPR: Do you feel free today or do you feel that you are under your father's shadow?
SM: I would tell you that I am a free man but only partially so relative to other people in society. Why do I say "partially free"? Because there is only one country in the world that denies me entrance because of who my father was and that is the United States. I am not allowed to enter American territory simply because I was born the son of Pablo Escobar and apparently that implies that I inherit my father's crimes. Not that I want a visa now, I don't care anymore, I have been to the United States before. But what I criticize is the message that the United States is sending to the youth of the world – to those of us who invite people to leave the ways of violence and the drug trade, we are not given a visa but those that sell drugs and weapons, yes. It's a shame to see drug dealers enter and leave the United States as if nothing in addition to those that purchase weapons and firearms.
HPR: You often tell the story of when your father called you the day he was killed. Once you learn he has been killed, you tell the press that you would "avenge" your father and 10 minutes later, you take this back. What happened in those 10 minutes?
SM: I was talking to my father via phone from my hotel room when he said "I will call you right back" before he hung up. 10 minutes pass and the phone rings again. I thought it was him but it was a journalist telling me my father had died. I knew something was wrong that day, he made the mistakes he had never committed throughout the last 10 years as the most wanted man in the world in one day. He never used the phone, he only did the day he was killed. He always told me that the day he used the phone would be his last day, something I had very clear while I was talking to him. I reacted violently, the journalist did not tell me she was recording me, an underage kid, and I told her that I would "kill every single one of you sons of bitches", forgive the words, but these were the exact words I told her. I was only 16 years old and I was still the son of the most wanted, dangerous and feared drug kingpin of all time. My whole life I had seen my father solve every problem he had through the use of violence. Those 10 minutes of reflection made me think about all those times I had argued with my father, all those times I had asked him to stop the violence. And when I started thinking about plans to avenge him, I realized I was only going to become someone worse than him, someone worse than the person I had so often criticized. I was going against my own principles. And yes, people tell me that it was a tremendous life decision in the span of 10 minutes but I just say, what else was there to think of? My whole life I saw how the violence my father created had come back to my family and I thought that I would only make things worse for my mother and my sister if I sought to avenge my father. I had to dare to take a path of peace.
HPR: How is the relationship between you and the rest of your family?
SM: My sister, my mother and I are great friends. We have always valued our immediate family immensely, something we learned from my father. Unfortunately, on my father's side we have a nonexistent relationship. But my mother and sister and I live very closely, we remain in the same city and we see each other every day. We love our father's image because the only thing we received from him was love and affection. We recognize that our father made incredible damage outside of the home but we ask for reciprocity because the only thing he ever gave us within the household was love. It's very difficult to resort to hating [Pablo Escobar] when all he gave you his entire life was love and all the best he ever had.
HPR: Is returning to Colombia an option?
SM: I am in Colombia at the moment. But I know what you mean by returning, by staying and to be quite honest my country still shows that it can be intolerant especially with the victory of the NO in the last peace plebiscite last week. I really wonder what is happening to us as a country and as a society. Do we want a future where we are constantly at war with each other? That's what Colombians voted for last week and it worries me a lot. We approved vengeance and violence and said no to peace and reconciliation. What we experience in Colombia is fratricide, we fight ourselves and it demonstrates the priority of hatred over peace and reconciliation. If people in Colombia despise the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), then I can understand how people would despise my image and my father's persona. My father's image amongst the poorest of people, those forgotten by the state, still remains a respected image. Whether we like it or not, my father was an important figure who filled a vacuum left by the state amongst the lower social classes. Yes, of course my father harmed and caused a lot of damage but both stories are true. He did things to help and destroy Colombia, both are true.
HPR: What would you think your father would say about what you're doing now?
SM: He would be proud, he would hug me and he would be sitting front-row at all the events where I talk to the youth about not repeating [Pablo Escobar's] story because I am a consequence of what he did and I have not changed my stance on violence since we talked about it.

Being raised in a large family, has one to have the need to be around people.
Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pa. in a row house, with a cement back yard, added to having people surrounding me all the time.
My husband and I were married here in Wiscconsin. I enjoy sewing, for which I would make my own patterns at times, [in the early years of our marriage] sew and make the clothing our children would wear when they were younger. Our 3 children are grown now, giving us 1 grandson. We live in the country, with trees, grass and plants.
I enjoy the sounds and the beats of music. Don't get me wrong, words do help, but to listen to a steel guitar or the sounds of the strings vibrating to produce harmony on a piano give me enjoyment. The pianist is able to create that unique sound when he plays that huge instrument.
The rose and bogonia, to me, are just plain gorgeous, the wonder of life, as well, as everything else outside the Lord gave to us in the plant world. The beauty of the sun rising, then to see the sun go down, imagining it going around the world giving everyone sunshine.
The older I grew and learned, still learning everyday. Express my thoughts in writings with hopes to be a freelance writer and story teller, keep interest in the eye of the reader, to fill their minds with nourishment and excitment. To keep the imagination and fantasy alive.
Let me tell a little about myself. Married in 1971, the years went by, realized my interest in writing, poetry came very easy for me to jot down. By 1980, our children, in school, I also had other interest, as ideas, I created a cosmetic, to take to market. Well, my idea did go to market, and being sold worldwide, someone else gôt the credit, after the fact, of getting involved with a màrketing company. My story appeared in the Boston Globe , in or about 1984, pertaining to the American Dream. I was a victim. This marketing company left us for broke, bigtime. At this point we lived a life of struggle and disbelief , I realized yet another, look for the good in life, share the word and belief of the Lord, build the mind and above all have faith. I have accomplished other paths as they came and led me to walk, as well. Besides writing on HP, there are a few other ideas I have yet to get done in my lifetime.

UAE singer Ahlam's Twitter drama is never-ending. As if it wasn't enough of her to criticize fellow Arab Idol judges Nancy Ajram and Ragheb Alama on Twitter, she's now raging a new war on her critics on the social networking site.
Salem AlHindi, Director of music production company Rotana, was another of Ahlam's victims, who she accused of delaying the release of her latest album by several months.
The angry singer launched a Twitter campaign, which she named "Go To Sleep," alongside tweeting screenshots of the Twitter accounts she wants deactivated.
Fans and supporters of Ahlam joined her campaign by tweeting names of accounts that may disturb the singer using the hashtag (created by her!) #Queen'sArmy. Hmmm, someone thinks too highly of themselves!
When will Ahlam's madness stop? Are you guys supporters or opposers of the singer?

Bristow's demon index, page 205
"Anyanka, patron demoness of scorned women:
This demoness embodies the spirit of self-defeating vengeance. She grants her victims their most vindictive wish, but the evil they desire is then turned upon them. No good can come of Anyanka's aid, only despair and damnation.
Her name first became known in 1207, but she is reliably thought to have been active for decades before then. After considering evidence from the surviving records of the Knights Templar, all omens observed during the relevant time period and the boasts of Anyanka herself, on those occasions when she has been cornered, the following conclusions have been reached concerning her origins.
Anyanka was once a human girl, born in France sometime during the 9th century. She was courted by the son of a local nobleman, but soon discovered his fine words were but a cloak to hide his pursuit of carnal pleasures. When he greeted her ambitions of honest marriage with derision she was filled with a blinding rage. Unable, because of her lowly status, to obtain redress through legal means, she turned to the dark arts in pursuit of revenge, inflicting upon her unfortunate seducer all the torments her mortal mind could imagine. Her rage was so great, hell itself echoed to the sound of her fury. The infernal powers, amused by her petty malice, chose to offer her immortality in their service.
The precise terms of the bargain she struck are not known, but it is thought that, in exchange for the loss of her mortal soul, she was offered a chance to help any women who, as Anyanka had been, were treated with utter contempt by the men they loved. However, all the gifts of hell are poisoned. The spirit of her bargain was betrayed even as she made it. Without her human soul, Anyanka lost all understanding of morality and readily accepted a perversion of her original mission. She was given the power to grant the wishes of scorned women, but with a catch. While her aid would appear beneficial on the surface, it would always poison the lives of her victims.
Nothing good can be built on hell tainted foundations. So it is with Anyanka's wishes. After one brief moment of sweet revenge, all the fruits of victory are found to be maggot-ridden. The victim can gain no lasting satisfaction from her wish, and ill-fortune will dog her all her days. She becomes a nexus of malign probabilities similar in nature to, though of much lesser magnitude than, the mystical convergence characteristic of an active hellmouth. None of Anyanka's victims have ever lived happy lives. Some few have even died as a result of their wish, or been driven to suicide.
Anyanka's human soul was placed, without her knowledge, in the gem she calls her power centre. Her victims must touch this gem to make their wishes, but otherwise she keeps it with her. While the gem is intact Anyanka can not truly die but if it is destroyed, her soul will return to its body, rendering her mortal again, and negating the last wish granted. Since this may be one of the signs that the last days are upon us, it is recommended that this should not be done unless absolutely necessary.
For a fuller account of Anyanka, her history and her powers, see Dramius, Volume XLVI, pages 876-924."
Written by retired Watcher, Samuel Bristow, 1825 AD
Cordelia began to speak, then hesitated. This was the hellmouth, where weird things always happened. People became invisible just because they were ignored, which really hadn't been her fault. It would be just like the hellmouth to have her wish come true, which should be fun for her. Xander would suffer, of course, but he deserved it. Perhaps Anya's lucky charm might actually be magic, or some invisible fairy might be listening, or something. This deserved a moment's thought, just in case her wish worked.
She had been about to wish Buffy had never come, things would have been so much nicer then, but was that really the best she could do? Without Buffy, she'd still be popular today, still have the adoration she deserved, and she wouldn't have been involved in all those icky things. She would never have known the monsters were real, never been afraid. Life had been so much nicer when she hadn't known what terrors lurked in the dark.
But the monsters were real. Her hometown was built on the mouth of hell. Monsters walked its streets, plotting the destruction of the world, and only Buffy could stop them.. Xander put up a brave show, but without Buffy he'd have been dead within weeks, and that would be no fun at all. She didn't want him dead; she wanted to watch him suffer. And besides, without Buffy, she'd probably be the bride of Frankenstein right now.
Everything had gone wrong since Buffy arrived, but without her it might have been even worse, if things could get any worse than this. If only she could live the last two years over again, without making any mistakes, then she could have the perfect world she deserved.
Cordelia smiled. That was it, the perfect wish. It probably wouldn't work, but it would be nice if it did.
"Everything has gone wrong since Buffy arrived. I wish I could live it all again, but better".
Anya looked puzzled.
"I'd know what was going to happen, so I could make everything go right for me and wrong for Xander. I'd make him love me, then dump him and humiliate him. I'd know all their secrets so I'd be able make all his friends reject him, leaving him miserable and completely alone."
As Anya listened, she began to smile. Cordelia didn't notice. Lost in the vision of the perfect world she could create, she had forgotten Anya was even there.
"Everything would be just horrible for him, but perfect for me. I'd even be able to play the big hero. I'd make myself saviour of the world, and Buffy could be my sidekick. It would be wonderful."
Cordelia fell silent, her face glowing with joy at the thought.
"Done!" Anya shouted, her face suddenly hideous.
In a blinding flash of light, the school vanished.

If you are looking for better handling and speed increase, go Arneson. Same price more or less, when it's all added up. The Bmax usually don't increase speed, it's the other way around.

I personally have experience with the bamx package, and I really like it. Merc sells an adaptor plate to cover the hole from your trs transom assembly, merc pn# 827691a 1, which is about $840 depending on where you buy it; $2500 bravo transom assembly, again depending on where you get it; and roughly $13,500 for the bmax. Its hell for strong and will handle just about anything you put to it for power, and is absolutely going to be a faster drive package than your current trs package. Just my 2 cents here...
Good luck with your decision!

Other things to consider are that you will either have to move the engines back or install a driveline.
If I was swapping out TRS's, I would probably look toward a Konrad coversion for simplicity sake.

What is the job desription of a Database Operator?

Adapted from a response by lewis.cunningham on 6/1/2006
An operator is reponsible for backups, job scheduling, making sure data loads were successful, creating loader control files, performing extracts, some first level support, etc.
Most shops that I have been in that had database operators (only very large shops do), had a lot of databases and a lot of storage. The database operator was there to make sure everything ran successfully when it was supposed to run and try to fix certain errors when it didn't. They also might perform some one time operations like extracts at the direction of an analyst.

The recent ratings results from a few notable TV shows are indicators of some surprising and not so surprising preferences among various demographics.
The Food Network and HGTV saw their ratings slip at the end of last year, indicating that core female viewers may be taking their eyeballs elsewhere. HGTV saw a 6.1 percent decline in ratings in the fourth quarter, and ratings for the Food Network in the 18-to-49 and 25-to-54 year-old age ranges fell nine percent last month.
The New York Post attributes the decline to a growing preference for "edgier culinary 'reality' competition shows." A Scripps Network spokesperson (both are Scripps operations) said the ratings were so high in 2009 that the comparison is skewed.
While that's happening, the TV show The Game made a comeback on BET after being canceled on the CW.
And come back it did. The show has been on the air for two weeks, with 7.7 million viewers the first week and 5.9 million the second, the Los Angeles Times reports. The show is about a group of women married to fictional football players. According to the Times, the show only reached 1.9 million viewers when it was canceled on CW, a dramatic turnaround.
Debra Lee, chairwoman and CEO of BET said the increase is due to "a smart marketing plan, fan bases on Facebook and Twitter, and frequent showings on BET of repeat episodes in the past year, which ginned up interest in the new episodes."
She adds that the "strength of the brand," which is known for programming targeting a Black audience, is also a reason. (Lee talked about the BET brand recently with mediabistro.com.)
MTV is fearing the repercussions of crossing the line into child pornography on its new program Skins, but the viewers are eating it up. The show, based on a British version, is about the risqué behavior of a group of teens, so controversy shouldn't be a surprise. Perhaps a bit of a surprise are the ratings.
The Times story reports that 3.3 million viewers tuned in for the premiere on Monday, with a record for the station for first-episode viewership among those in the wide range of 12 to 34 years old. The story says the program is geared towards adults, but the youngest actor on the show is 15 and the audience likely mirrors the cast.
One show that's not capturing the younger audience the way it used to is American Idol. This week's season opener was down 13 percent. However, that's still 26.1 million viewers. Among teens, viewership is down 28 percent according to EW.com and among adults 18 to 49 years old, that number is down 9.7 percent.

Stand-Alone System all User and Admin Accounts are locked out
I am running Windows 7 64bit, 32GB Ram, Dual 10 core processors.
All accounts on the box will randomly get locked out. This lockout is occurring "at least on the surface" with no repeated log-on attempts or no repeated bad password entries. Simply press a keyboard or move the mouse to unlock the system, enter password and it says account is locked out. I attempt to switch users and it says that account is locked out also. Every user and Admin account on the box is locked.
This behavior is randomly happening. I have not been able to duplicate the problem.
Password complexity is enabled and it has a file the password is measured against
Number of bad retries attempted is set at 3
An administrator must unlocked the account once it is locked.
Again, this box is not a part of a Domain, thus no domain controller is controlling the user account.
