The 102-page document has 55 pages of preliminaries, then the motion, followed by 47 pages of exhibits/appendices.
For a document like this, I'm not sure I could do it justice to summarize it briefly. Instead, here's an excerpt for a teaser of sorts.
Despite Appellants' efforts to reframe the factbound per curiam order into a new case posing broad legal questions, the appeal does not present any substantial federal issues meriting this Court's attention. Appellee Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission therefore respectfully requests that the Court summarily affirm the decision below.
Appellants raise far-reaching issues that have little to do with the actual findings and ruling on appeal. They brought this suit on the theory (and told the court they would prove at trial) that "a policy of increasing the Democratic Party's strength" caused the minor population deviations – an average overall deviation of 2.2 percent and a maximum deviation of 8.8 percent – in Arizona's legislative redistricting plan. Doc. 176 at 2. After a five-day trial and review of transcripts of the Commission's many public meetings, the district court found that was not true and that "compliance with federal voting rights law was the predominant reason for the deviations." J.S. App. 6a. The court did not need to decide whether political motivations are illegitimate redistricting considerations because even assuming they are, Appellants could not prove their claim. At most, "some of the commissioners were motivated in part in some of the linedrawing decisions by a desire to improve Democratic prospects." Id. The limited extent of that partisan motive does not indicate any constitutional infirmity. If it did, Appellants' argument could result in overturning virtually every state's legislative redistricting plan, an untenable and constitutionally unacceptable affront to State sovereignty.
The district court held that the Commission's desire to comply with the Voting Rights Act, including the obligation to obtain preclearance, is a rational state policy capable of justifying minor deviations in population. J.S. App. 65a-72a. The Court should summarily affirm on the same narrow grounds. Appellants' argument would require the Court to hold that compliance with federal law, although mandatory, was irrational. It would also clash with this Court's decisions holding that non-mandatory policy decisions to respect county lines or protect incumbent politicians can justify deviations that go far beyond the minor ones at issue here. See, e.g., Brown v. Thomson, 462 U.S. 835, 847-48 (1983) (holding that state policy of adhering to county boundaries justified underpopulating district by 60 percent); Karcher v. Daggett, 462 U.S. 725, 740 (1983) (listing "avoiding contests between incumbent[s]" among policies that "might justify some variance" in congressional districts). The fact that this Court's subsequent decision in Shelby County v. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 2612 (2013), removes Arizona's obligation to seek preclearance does not render the Commission's efforts to obtain preclearance irrational or illegitimate.
This is not the case for the Court to decide whether partisan motivations can invalidate a map with minor population deviations. The district court rejected Appellants' partisanship arguments based on the evidence. This Court should summarily affirm.I expect that I shall read through this Motion and at least some of the appendices in due course (and well before oral arguments are heard before the court (most likely the last week of February 2015)).
In the meantime, for your reading pleasure (if you're a political nerd), the link to the entire 102-page document is embedded at the top of this blog post.

This is it: the one true explanation for Donald Trump's victory
Everyones theories are wrong: through cunning and selective use of statistics, I can prove that my pet whinge is the reason for Trumps election win
The unexpected US election result has left people grappling with some difficult questions. Questions like, if were so good at being pundits then why were we all wrong? and, how do I draft an executive order without cocking it up? One question stands above all others though: Why did millions of people who nearly always vote Republican continue to vote for a Republican candidate, even after lots of Democrats and centrists told them not to?
To find out, we have to use the key tool of analysis available to political science in the Internet era: the think piece. Think pieces are the social media equivalent of an immune response, an innate and primitive defense system in which endless varieties of the same basic cell swarm over a topic until its entirely obscured by a cloud of literary pus.
Reviewing the hundreds published so far, a common theme begins to emerge. Media people believe that the media is uniquely responsible for Trumps rise. They alone were in control of his destiny. Well not them, so much as their colleagues; but its a media problem, and its up to the media to fix it. Like they fixed Nixon.
Data science enthusiasts believe that data scientists were responsible for Trump, or maybe its news algorithms or fake news. Economists think that economic trends were to blame. Social justice activists assure us that it was definitely not the economy but racism, while social scientists assure us that its the result of growing divides between rural and urban identities exacerbated by key demographic changes.
People who believe that political correctness has gone mad believe that political correctness was to blame. They believe that the rise of identity politics on university campuses triggered a backlash among thousands of people in the rust belt who dont have college degrees. Meanwhile liberals blame conservatives and of course conservatives blame liberals.
Have you guessed what the common theme is yet? Thats right, theyre all wrong.
The problem can be illustrated by looking at a simple graph, which breaks down all of Trumps voters by the thing that caused them to vote for him. If I rearrange the different segments, youll notice that the last group, a demographic that correlates neatly to my big idea, is at the end.

International Conference: Megacities III - Action models and strategic solutions (Megacities III)
Venue: Convention Center \'Eichholz Castle\'of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation
Location: D-50389 Wesseling near Cologne, NorthRhine-Westfalia, Germany
|Event Date/Time: Nov 24, 2003
|End Date/Time: Nov 26, 2003
What is more, it is on that continent that the number of megacities is increasing by leaps and bounds.
With their population of 5 million and more each, megacities have been attracting more and more attention because of their global potentials and risks as well as because of their ambivalent development trends. Research has long since documented that we do not have to submit meekly to the increasing fragmentation of such megacities into enclaves of prosperity on the one hand and swiftly growing islands of poverty on the other. In recent years, useful analyses and reform strategies have been coming from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, influencing the work of international development agencies to a marked extent.
Following up on two highly successful conferences in 2002, in which the many and varied dimensions of the megacities issue had been highlighted, the organisers decided to hold yet another international meeting. Under the overarching question of how the sustainable development and, consequently, the continued existence of megacities can be guaranteed, the debate will focus on concrete models of action and strategic solutions to four central issues, namely manageability, sustainability, mobility, and urban development.
To round off the event, to which you are hereby most cordially invited, there will be presentations by internationally renowned experts as well as a 'Market of Opportunities' with select offerings.

Three generations of writers celebrate a master whose life and work continue to reverberate in contemporary letters.
William Maxwell, who died in July 2000, was revered as one of the twentieth century's great American writers and a longtime fiction editor at The New Yorker. Now writers who knew Maxwell and were inspired by him—both the man and his work—offer intimate essays, most specifically written for this volume, that "bring him back to life, right there in front of us."
Alec Wilkinson writes of Maxwell as mentor; Edward Hirsch remembers him in old age; Charles Baxter illuminates the magnificent novel So Long, See You Tomorrow; Ben Cheever recalls Maxwell and his own father; Donna Tartt vividly describes Maxwell's kindness to herself as a first novelist; and Michael Collier admires him as a supreme literary correspondent. Other appreciations include insightful pieces by Alice Munro, Anthony Hecht, a poem by John Updike, and a brief tribute from Paula Fox. Ending this splendid collection is Maxwell himself, in the unpublished speech "The Writer as Illusionist."

reminds me of my RISD days...used lots of manufactured glass at times - once on a beach, once balanced between cones of blown glass, once fused with ancient loom heddles encased within the sheets, once etched with words, once suspended from a factory ceiling with extreme suction cups.................... hmmmm.
beautiful photograph, my dear.

Hi Jody, beautiful picture, it looks luminous. What are you going to make with the glass tiles? I hope you are having a lovely weekend and are enjoying a restful day off from work. I have been watching old movies today and knitting away on another pair of socks. I found some beautiful self striping yarn with the colors of an African Violet; all shades of deep purple, green and cream. Delisa :)

As part of the JMX specification each JMX compliant agent must provide a timer service to trigger notifications sent at a certain time, in a certain interval and/or number of occurrences. Therefore you can check for mails, check for changes on a target (auto deployer) or notify the client about a date.
The Timer Service in a JMX Agent is implemented by the Timer MBean. In this HowTo it means the same whereas Timer Service more stresses the fact of being an Agent Service and Timer MBean more stresses the fact of being an MBean.
An Event-Item is an added "Notification" on the Timer MBean. Please note that this is not the same as the adding of a Notification Listener on the JMX Agent which is also the reason to name it differently here. Whenever a client creates a new Event-Item through the various addNotification methods it will send one or more notifications to the registered notification listener of the Timer MBean.
Every client who wants to receive notification about an "Event Item" must register a Notification Listener. The Notification Listener can belong to another client than the one adding the Event Item(s). Each Notification Listener will without filtering receiver all the notifications triggered by all added Event Items on this Timer MBean. As example two clients added one Event Item and one Notification Listener. Now both Notification Listeners will receive all the notifications triggered by the two Event Items and not only the notifications trigger from their Event Item.
A notification triggered by an added Event Item and without filtering sent to all Notification Listener of this Timer MBean.
Just to make it perfectly clear: Each Timer MBean manages a list of Event Items which forces the Timer MBean to send Notifications at the given time and as many times as specified to all the Notification Listener registered to listen for Notification from this Timer MBean instance. Please use a Notification Filter to reduce the Timer Notification to what you are interested into especially when you are on a remote server.
To use the Timer Service we have to prepare the environment. Whenever you are using the JBoss application server you can skip this section and jump to Timer Setup. If not then you have to do one of the following steps:
Whenever your application does not create a MBeanServer beforehand you have to create one now. Note that you can have more than one MBeanServer running in the same JVM at the same time but normally you only need one MBeanServer instance. Therefore when you are sure that you don't have one now or you need a new one create a MBeanServer this way:
MBeanServer lServer = MBeanServerFactory.createMBeanServer();
Whenever there is already a MBeanServer running to find and select a MBeanServer by:
// Get a list of all locally registered MBeanServers List lServers = MBeanServerFactory.findMBeanServer( null ); // Select one. Here it is just the first one MBeanServer lServer = (MBeanServer) lServers.get( 0 );
You can also use the Timer on a remote site but then you have to connect to the remote MBeanServer by using a Connector. Using the RMI-Connector would look like this:
// Connect to a remote MBeanServer by using the RMI-Connector (RMI-Adaptor must be looked up beforehand) RemoteMBeanServer lServer = new RMIConnectorImpl( lRMIAdaptor );Using the EJB-Connector would look like this:
// Connect to a remote MBeanServer by using the EJB-Connector (EJB-Adaptor must be looked up beforehand) RemoteMBeanServer lServer = new EJBConnector( lEJBAdaptor );
To use the Timer service a Timer MBean must be created, registered and activated. There is no need to create a Timer MBean each time you want to use the Timer Service but in order to receive the Timer Notifications you have to register a Notification Listner on this Timer MBean which in turn sends you all the Timer Notifications triggered by any Event Item. But you can supply a Notification Filter to receive only Time Notifications you want to receive.
The Timer MBean should always be started when JBoss is started then add it to the jboss-service.mxl file in the current configuration directory (under /conf). Please add this line but keep in mind that you can change the value of attribute "name" whenever you like but it must be unique on the current MBeanServer:
<mbean code="javax.management.timer.Timer" name="DefaultDomain:service=timer"/>
The other approach with JBoss is to create your own service.xml giving you the chance to deploy it at runtime and don't have the burden to change the root jboss-service.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <server> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <!-- JMX Timer MBean --> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <mbean code="javax.management.timer.Timer" name="DefaultDomain:service=timer"/> </server>
When you don't have the JBoss application server running then you have to create, register and start the Timer MBean by your own using the MBeanServer or RemoteMBeanSErver interface. To create and register the Timer MBean:
ObjectInstance lTimer = lServer.createMBean( "javax.management.timer.Timer", new ObjectName( "DefaultDomain", "service", "timer" ) );To start the Timer MBean which is always necessary here (JBoss is doing this for you):
lServer.invoke( lTimer.getObjectName(), "start", new Object[] {}, new String[] {} );Of course you can also use an Adaptor like the HTML-Adaptor to create and setup the Timer MBean.
Procedure 11.2. Procedure to use the Timer Service
Now we are ready to configure the Timer Service and to finally use it. Both steps could be done without an order but for the Notification Filter we need the ID number of the Event Item. Therefore the Event Item should be added first. If you don't use the Notification Filter or filter on the client side then you can perform the second step as the first step, too.
First add the Event Item to the Timer Service. Keep the number of the Event Item because it is necessary for the Notification Filter. Because there are different ways to register an Event Item let us go through them one by one.
This code just adds an Event Item which sends a Time Notification once after one minute from now.
Date lNext = new Date( new Date().getTime() + Timer.ONE_MINUTE ); Integer lOneMinuteTimer = (Integer) lServer.invoke( lTimer.getObjectName(), "addNotification", new Object[] { "IDoNotKnowWhatTypeIs", "I call you with this timer once", // No user object null, // In one minute from now lNext, }, new String[] { "".getClass().getName(), "".getClass().getName(), "java.lang.Object", Date.class.getName() } );
This code sets up an Event Item which sends ten Time Notifications one minute apart starting after one hour from now.
Date lNext = new Date( new Date().getTime() + Timer.ONE_HOUR ); Integer lOneHourTimer = (Integer) lServer.invoke( lTimer.getObjectName(), "addNotification", new Object[] { "IDoNotKnowWhatTypeIs", "I call you with this timer ten times", // No user object null, // In one hour from now lNext, new Long( Timer.ONE_MINUTE ), new Long( 10 ) }, new String[] { "".getClass().getName(), "".getClass().getName(), "java.lang.Object", Date.class.getName(), Long.TYPE.getName(), Long.TYPE.getName() } );
This will remove an Event Item by its ID
lServer.invoke( lTimer.getObjectName(), "removeNotification", new Object[] { // You could also use the type: "IDoNotKnowWhatTypeIs" lOneHourTimer }, new String[] { // If you remove by type: String.getClass().getName() Integer.TYPE.getName() } );
Now we have to register a Notification Listener at the JMX Agent to retrieve the Time Notifications. The Notification Filter should be used whenever you have more than one Event Item added to the Timer Service. The filter should only pass Time Notification the client is interested into (it is assumed here that the Id of the Event Item (above it would be "lOneMinuteTimer" or "lOneHourTimer") is stored in the class variable "mTimerId").
lServer.addNotificationListener( lTimer.getObjectName(), // Notification Listener new NotificationListener() { public void handleNotification( Notification pNotification, Object pHandback ) { // Add here you call any code or application or perform whatever you want to System.out.println( "You got a Notification: " + pNotification ); } }, // Filter Listener new NotificationFilter() { public boolean isNotificationEnabled( Notification pNotification ) { if( pNotification instanceof TimerNotification ) { TimerNotification lTimerNotification = (TimerNotification) pNotification; return lTimerNotification.getNotificationID().equals( mTimerId ); } return false; } }, // No object handback necessary null );
The JBoss Scheduler service enables you to use the Timer Service easier and to call any instance implementing the Schedulable interface.
To use the Scheduler you need a target which the Scheduler will call when the Timer sends a notification based on your settings. This can be either an instance of a class implementing the Schedulable interface (which will be created by the Scheduler) or another MBean available in the JMX MBeanServer of JBoss. From now on we will call this a Schedulable (class / instance or MBean).
One way to use the Scheduler service is to provide a class that implements the Schedulable interface. When the Scheduler receives a Notification from the Timer it will call the Schedulable's perform() method. This method takes 2 paramaters: the first is the time that the notification was sent; the second is the number of the remain occurences(where -1 means no limit).
The example coming with the Scheduler what a Schedulable class should look like is the internal class SchedulableExample. It just takes a name and a value used to identify the log when a timed call comes in. To create a Schedulable class just build a Constructor taking basic data types, String or any other class having a constructor taking a single String as parameter. Then implement the perform method where you can use the given date of call, number of remaining repetitions and the value set by the constructor. The perform method can start backups, nightly data transfers, purge old data from the DB etc. The default example looks like this:
public static class SchedulableExample implements Schedulable { private String mName; private int mValue; public SchedulableExample( String pName, int pValue ) { mName = pName; mValue = pValue; } /** * Just log the call **/ public void perform( Date pTimeOfCall, long pRemainingRepetitions ) { System.out.println( "Schedulable Examples is called at: " + pTimeOfCall + ", remaining repetitions: " + pRemainingRepetitions + ", test, name: " + mName + ", value: " + mValue ); } }
The last step of the preparation is that all the new classes coming along with your Schedulable must be made available to the JMX agent. Therefore you have to add it to the classpath or with JBoss 3 reference the JAR file in the service.xml file.
The other way is to tell the Scheduler which method on which MBean schould be called by the Scheduler service when it receives a Notification from the Timer. The MBean must be loaded, created and started when the Scheduler calls the MBean for the first time. If not available the Scheduler will count this call (decrease the remaining repetitions if not endless) but the call is not performed.
The Scheduler is programmed in a way that you only have to configure and start it to use it. The next code snippet can be used to add it to jboss-service.xml file or create your own scheduler-service.xml file. When you use a JMX Connector then you can create the Scheduler MBean, set the Attributes and then invoke the init and start methods (please have a look at the timer-usage above for more informations). The Scheduler can be setup in two ways.
To setup a Scheduler in a service.xml file using a Schedulable class add this code snippet and adjust it to your needs:
<mbean code="org.jboss.util.Scheduler" name=":service=Scheduler"> <attribute name="SchedulableClass">org.jboss.util.Scheduler$SchedulableExample</attribute> <attribute name="SchedulableArguments">Schedulabe Test,12345</attribute> <attribute name="SchedulableArgumentTypes">java.lang.String,int</attribute> <attribute name="InitialStartDate">0</attribute> <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">10000</attribute> <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">-1</attribute> <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute> </mbean>
To setup a Scheduler in a service.xml file using a Schedulable MBean add this code snippet and adjust it to your needs:
<mbean code="org.jboss.util.SchedulableExample" name="jboss:type=example,name=schedulable"> </mbean> <mbean code="org.jboss.util.Scheduler" name="jboss:service=Scheduler"> <attribute name="StartAtStartup">true</attribute> <attribute name="SchedulableMBean">jboss:type=example,name=schedulable</attribute> <attribute name="SchedulableMBeanMethod">hit( NOTIFICATION, DATE, REPETITIONS, SCHEDULER_NAME, java.lang.String )</attribute> <attribute name="InitialStartDate">NOW</attribute> <attribute name="SchedulePeriod">10000</attribute> <attribute name="InitialRepetitions">10</attribute> </mbean>Note that the first MBean is the target (Schedulable) MBean which is created before the Scheduler. This is not necessary especially when you want to use JBoss MBeans but they should be available when the first hit (see initial start date) from the Timer is in.
Do NOT mix these two types. The last call to either setSchedulableClass or setSchedulableMBean will determine if a Schedulable Class or MBean is used.
Full qualified path to the class implementing the Schedulable interface. Whenever a Time Notification is sent to the Scheduler the Schedulable's perform method will be called. Your Schedulable instance can then peform any necessary steps you have to perform at a certain time.
Contains the text representation of the attributes to create the Schedulable instance. If the needs arise I will also add a way to create a Schedulable MBean and pass the JMX Object Name instead (see J2eeDeployer) instead.
Data types of the constructor you want to use to create the Schedulable instance. The number and type must match with the given InitArguments above. It contains Name of the basic data type (int, long, byte, char, float, double) or the fully qualified path of a class like java.lang.String which must have a constructor taking a single String argument.
Object Name of the MBean you want to be called when timer send a notification. Note that this must not be null and must be a valid JMX Object Name.
Can contain two parts. The first is the method name which must be in front of the opening bracket. The second is inside the opening and closing bracket. There must not be any other characters after the closing bracket except white spaces which will be trimmed away with java.lang.String.trim(). The second part must be a comma seperated list of the following items (if written in uppercase then this literal without the colon):
NOTIFICATION: Timer Notification object sent by the Timer. The signature is: javax.management.Notification.
DATE: Date instance when the timer sent the call. The signature is: java.util.Date.
REPETITIONS: Number of remaining repetitions. The signature is: long.
SCHEDULER_NAME: Object Name of the Scheduler calling the MBean. With this Object Name you can call back and investigate the Scheduler. The signature is: javax.management.ObjectName.
Anything else will be treated as fully qualified Class name where the Scheduler send a "null" as value but this Class as signature. This method is here to satisfy your method signature.
You have now 3 ways to set the Initial Start Date:
The reason to do so is to allow an administrator to restart the JBoss application server without adjusting the Scheduler every time. If for example you started a Scheduler on Monday to run every day at 12:00pm for a week (7 times) and you restart JBoss on Thursday after 12:00pm the same week then the Scheduler will run for Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 12:00pm.
You can define the number of repetitions of timed calls. If you specify -1 then there is no limit. When all the calls are sent the Scheduler falls into hibernation because when no Time Notification is sent nothing is going to happen. But then you can either reuse the Scheduler or remove the MBean from the JMX Agent.
Either "true" or "false" indicats if the Scheduler should be started after creation or it should wait until you are ready and start the Scheduler by hand (HTML-Adaptor), another JMX MBean or a client using JMX Connector/Adaptor.
02:12:00,908 ERROR [Default] java.lang.NullPointerException 02:12:00,908 ERROR [Default] at javax.management.timer.Timer.updateTimerTable(Timer.java:984) 02:12:00,908 ERROR [Default] at javax.management.timer.Timer.notifyAlarmClock(Timer.java:1093) 02:12:00,918 ERROR [Default] at javax.management.timer.TimerAlarmClock.run(Timer.java:1165)Please just ignore this message because it is catched and then reported inside JMX. It seems to be a bug from a bug fix of Sun.
The Timer MBean is not that difficult to use as soon as you understand what the differences are compared to other scheduling services like CRON. If you are just interested to get the hit after a certain time with a certain number of repetitions the Scheduler is an easy way to use the Timer MBean. The Scheduler hides all the details of the Timer and you can focus on the implementation of what you have to perform when time is up.

PLEASANTON — The City Council's recent meeting to explore the idea of increasing developer fees used to fund affordable housing resulted in a decision to, well, study it some more.
Council members held a joint meeting with the city's Housing Commission on Oct. 22 to discuss the issue, but no action was required.
"Their decision was to look into lower-income housing fees, concurrent with a review of other development impact fees," said Assistant City Manager Steve Bocian. "They would like to have that done within eight months."
The city's lower-income housing fees were established in the late 1970s to allow developers to pay fees in lieu of building homes for low-income residents. Those fees are placed in the city's Lower Income Housing Fund, which Pleasanton spends on aiding the construction of affordable housing. The fund's current balance is $16.4 million, Bocian said.
Currently, those fees are about $10,700 for single-family houses larger than 1,500 square feet; $2,655 for single-family homes smaller than 1,500 square feet, and for apartment complexes and other multifamily housing; and $2.83 per square foot for commercial and industrial buildings.
Economic Planning Systems Inc., the consultant firm hired to study the issue, presented four options to council members for changing those fee figures, including:
Staff employees recommended choosing either the first option, keeping the status quo, or option three, increasing developer fees but at a much lower rate than option four. The city's next step is to perform a more comprehensive review of the fee structures and their potential impacts on future development, officials said. Which direction the City Council is leaning toward is not yet been known, Bocian said.
"It depends on how aggressive they want to be in pursuing certain types of affordable housing," he said.

I love to grill my own pizza on my snazzy Weber electric grill - it's so easy! The first time I made pizza at home, I used the kitchn's fantastic blog post on the subject as a reference.
Everyone's so busy these days, so I think it's perfectly fine to use pizza dough from the prepared food section at a store like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Save yourself some time, hon. However, if you'd rather do the whole scratch thing (and save some money, too), it's not hard at all. Here's Ina Garten's recipe. I've also made Pioneer Woman's dough, too.
Whether you make the dough or not, the key to grilling pizza is to work super fast with a VERY hot grill. Be sure to have your crusts and toppings close by. Just put the crust on the grill, brush both sides with olive oil, grill both sides for a few seconds, add your toppings (I put the cheese on before the sauce like they do at John's Pizzeria in NYC) and close the top (I turn the heat down a smidge) and grill for about 4-5 minutes. Easy as pizza pie.
What you choose to drink with your pizza depends on your own personal preference or mood and also different things go with different toppings. Check out my friend's blog Scribbleskiff for some ideas (like pairing spicy, meaty toppings with an IPA...) The pairing combinations are almost endless! Lately, my fave combo is goat cheese, mozzarella and arugula pizza with a glass of Torrontes. And...now that I have the chickens out back, I sometimes top a pizza with a fried egg soon.
Not only is the pie amazing at Iggie's, they also give a portion of their proceeds to a different charity every month and...it's a BYOB joint. Nothing better than sitting outside on a Sunday afternoon with a friend enjoying pizza and wine!
Other great pizza in Charm City? The pizzas at Birroteca are very good. The duck pizza is ridiculous...it's topped with a duck egg. Duh. Also, the spicy fennel sausage and mushroom pizza makes me very, very happy. And...Hersh's in South Baltimore is excellent, too. I took some friends visiting from out of town there and they raved (me, too!) Not only is the food really amazing - the housemade sausage is not to be missed - but the beer selection is pretty darn impressive and changes all the time. Great cocktails, too, hon. I also love the pizzas at two of my favorite wine bars, 13.5% (eggplant pizza - and I don't really love eggplant!) and Grand Cru (the nature pizza and leek + goat cheese are ridiculous.) There's also Joe Squared in Station North and Power Plant Live and Bagby Pizza in oh-so-schwank Harbor East. I'd also recommend you give Tooloulou on Harford Road a try - they have really delicious and creative pizzas. Try their smoked duck pizza - tomato sauce, house smoked duck, caramelized onion, sweet peppers, goat cheese and drizzled with balsamic reduction. YUM. Two other newer pizza places, Toss and Earth Wood and Fire have tasty pies, too.
Come on...life's too short for boring pizza. Go for the best. Abbondanza!

Wright County Board Minutes
The Wright County Board met in regular session at 9:00 A.M. with Mattson, Sawatzke, Jude, and Russek present. Eichelberg was absent.
Russek made the following corrections to the minutes of 4-17-01: Page 1, last paragraph, 4th sentence, change from "seconded by Russek" to "seconded by Mattson"; Page 4, 2nd paragraph, 4th sentence, change word from "assent" to "ascend"; Page 4, last paragraph, 3rd sentence, change from "meeting" to "meet." Russek moved to approve the minutes as corrected, seconded by Sawatzke, carried unanimously.
Petitions were accepted to the Agenda as follows: Aud./Treas. Item #4, "Update, Status of County Ditch 10 & County Ditch 13" (Gruber); Aud./Treas. Item #5, "Request RE: Blowouts on County Ditch 33" (Gruber); Item For Consid. #3, "Resolution, Declaration of Disaster from Civil Defense Director" (Norman); Item For Consid. #4, "NMC Plant Tour" (Jude). Brian Asleson called for a Closed Session immediately following today's County Board Meeting to meet with John Baker RE: Superior Landfill Litigation. Russek moved to approve the Agenda as amended, seconded by Sawatzke, carried 4-0.
On a motion by Mattson, second by Russek, all voted to approve the Consent Agenda as follows:

1. Acknowledge Appointment Of Sgt. Dan Anselment To Lieutenant, Eff. 7-26-01 (Step J).
Doug Gruber, Auditor/Treasurer, received a request from Brent Nyquist requesting repair of blowouts on Jt. Ditch 15. Gruber stated a request for repair was received last year from Nyquist. Gruber, Russek, and Mattson viewed the area with Nyquist and found broken tiles and 4-5 blowouts. Gruber understood from opinions of Kerry Saxton, SWCD, and Brian Asleson, Assistant County Attorney, that removal/replacement of the tile would be a ditch improvement and would require a hearing process. The consensus at that time was that another approach may be to put in a continuous tube from where the field ends into the low area. Russek moved to authorize Gruber to set up a Jt. Ditch Committee meeting and to obtain estimates to repair the blockage at the upper end. The motion was seconded by Mattson and carried 4-0.
Gruber received a request from the City of Howard Lake for waiver of the 30-day notice of a public hearing for modification to TIF District No. 4, adding "Joe's Redevelopment" project. A public hearing is scheduled for 4-30-01 at 7:00 P.M., Howard Lake Community Center. Mattson moved to waive the 30-day notice, seconded by Russek, carried 4-0.
Gruber provided updates on the status of County Ditch 10 (Victor Township) and County Ditch 13 (Buffalo Township) discussed at the last meeting. A backhoe will be used for clean out (estimated at about 80%) on the north side of County Ditch 10. Gruber and Sawatzke viewed County Ditch 13 (Buffalo Township) with the property owner. There is a small, abandoned beaver dam holding back some water. The property owner will attempt to remove the dam. These updates were provided as informational items.
A request was received for repair of blowouts on County Ditch 33 (Monticello Township) on the Scherber property. Sawatzke viewed the area with the renter of the property and it has been verified that the blowouts are located on the County Ditch. It appears repair will take approximately three hours with a backhoe. Sawatzke moved to request the Auditor/Treasurer to receive quotes in whatever manner appropriate, and to accept the low quote to make the repair on the Scherber property. The motion was seconded by Russek and carried 4-0.
On a motion by Russek, second by Mattson, all voted to approve the claims as listed in the abstract subject to audit.
Marc Mattice, Parks Administrator, requested approval of the assessment payment for connection to the St. Michael sanitary sewer system. On 8-29-00, the County Board took action to authorize the complete hook up to the St. Michael sewer line for Beebe Lake Park at a cost of $25,850.66 if and when it became available.
In response to a concern by Jude, Mattice said he has informed Hennepin County that Wright County would like to lease Beebe Lake Park land for another 25 years at a cost of $1.00. Mattice has not received any confirmation in writing, but the current lease indicates the only requirement is notification by Wright County to Hennepin County to extend the lease. Discussion reverted back to the sanitary sewer assessment, requiring a $3889.72 payment by 5-15-01. Jude questioned why the assessment was due if no benefit had been received. It was explained that the bonds had been sold and payment of the assessment had to be received by December 1, 2000 in order to avoid interest. Sawatzke moved to direct the Aud./Treas. to pay the balance in full at such time he deems it financially appropriate for the County in 2001, based upon maximizing interest, with funding to come from the CIP Fund. The motion includes authorization to pay the $3889.72 by 5-15-01 with the remainder to be paid by the end of the year. The motion was seconded by Russek and carried unanimously.
Jerry Quaal, Fair Board Buildings/ Grounds Committee Chair, distributed an updated version of the Wright County Agricultural Society (Fair Board) 5-Year Plan, as well as a building estimate for a new sheep barn at the County Fairgrounds, north of the new show arena. The bids received reflected a cost of approximately $36,700. Quaal requested $40,000 from the County for the building. If this was not an option, he requested that the Board consider a loan to the Fair Board. The extra funding requested will be used toward items such as bringing water to the building and a tar path between buildings. Mattson questioned what the $75,000 budgeted for in 2001 was being used for. Quaal responded Items 1-12 on page 1 of the Plan. In addition, three roofs must be redone this year. Estimates have not been obtained. Quaal explained that the old sheep barn would be removed and replaced with an open area to include a mini stage, food court and additional seating. Kent Mutterer explained that the barn is planned on the north end of the show arena so that all of the livestock will be located in one area (except horses) and the arena will be better utilized. A problem which has been encountered is that only certain animals can be housed together during the Fair. Discussion led to bleacher replacement. Jude explained that the bleachers on the west side of the Grandstand do not meet code. Those bleachers must be torn down with replacements installed before the Fair in 2002. Sawatzke commended the Fair Board for the improvements over the past few years. He was concerned with the cost of the upcoming bleacher repair/replacement. He also referenced funds expended for the office/bathrooms, the hoop barn, and the show arena. He inquired whether additional revenue would help to pay back any cost of the sheep barn. Quaal explained that the only way this would be possible was if additional people came to the Fair. Gruber said any loan would have to be transferred from cash reserves to the capital improvement fund. He viewed it to be less expensive for the County to lend the money than for the Fair Board to obtain a loan from a bank. Levied funds will pay for the construction of the building either way. Sawatzke said the amount levied could be reduced if donations were received or if reductions were made in other future improvements. Mutterer explained that the hoop barn was paid for with demo/tractor pull funds raised. Wright County has a debt service fund balance of $1.5 million. Sawatzke noted that $405,000 of the reserve is earmarked for workers compensation. Mattson moved to approve the request from the Fair Board for $40,000 to be taken out of reserves. Mattson viewed this as a safety issue and felt that if MCIT viewed the current sheep barn, they would see it as a liability. Discussion followed on whether this was a loan and what type of payback would be required. Gruber stated that if it were a loan, their budget could be adjusted accordingly to pay the loan back over time. Otherwise, expenditures could be cut back in other areas to accommodate for repayment. Richard Norman, County Coordinator, reminded the Board that the Fairground buildings belong to Wright County and are on the County property schedule. If the Board was discussing lending the funds to build the sheep barn, they were actually talking about lending money to the County. Jude's concern was with treating all requests equally. The motion was withdrawn by Mattson. Mattson then made a motion to allow the $40,000 payment to the Fair Board to build the sheep barn contingent upon their submitting a budget of $65,000 or less for the next four years. Funding will be from the reserve. The motion was seconded by Russek. Quaal stated he agreed with reducing their budget to make payments. Sawatzke did not feel this was a reasonable request of the Fair Board as there would be many other issues over the next four years which will need to be addressed. The motion carried 3-1 with Sawatzke casting the nay vote.
A MIS Steering Committee meeting was held on 4-11-01. At today's County Board meeting, Mattson moved to approve the report, seconded by Russek, carried 4-0. In regard to the development of a web site for the SWCD, it was felt that Kerry Saxton should contact Bill Swing as soon as possible to discuss being included with the Wright County web site.
County Web Site. The County's web site was reviewed. Swing proposed that future development of the site emphasize the dissemination of information (data). He anticipates the site over time to function as a primary information management tool in enhancing efficiencies of County operations.
Proposed changes discussed were:
· Allow for access to property tax information. MIS will work with Kritzeck and Gruber in this regard.
· One of two mock ups of the "Department and Services" page was selected in which department and services were grouped under the following major functional categories:
- Land Records -Auditor-Treasurer, Assessor, Recorder, Planning & Zoning
- Human Services -Human Services
- Law and Legal Services -Attorney, Sheriff, Court Services, Court Administration
- Public Works -Highway, Surveyor, Parks
- Emergency Management -Civil Defense/Nuclear, Emergency Medical Services
- Other Services} - Administration, Extension, Veteran's Services, Management Information Services
· Site information must be kept up-to-date. There must be responsibly assigned for this task for all pages in the site; i.e. a site coordinator for Human Services, one for Sheriff, etc. The Special Projects Coordinator will be responsible for updates to "About Wright County" and "Elected Officials" pages.
· Departments must be committed to responding to email if email addresses are placed on the site.
· Links on the "Wright County Links" page that were specific to departments should be moved to pages under the department's pages. MIS will work with the Special Projects Coordinator in regards to changes on this page.
Other web activities
· Highway -work continues in providing access to project descriptions, road restriction map, contact information, etc.
· Final work is being performed on access to Recorder records and images.
· The site was recently moved from an outside firm's server to an in-house web server.
The Board discussed scheduling a Ways & Means Committee Of The Whole meeting to discuss the Ordinance regulating the issuance of temporary conditional use permits for portable hot mix plants. At their 3-13-01 meeting, the Board voted to schedule a meeting sometime in May following a request by Thomas and Sandra Knudson to address the issue. Russek moved to schedule a Ways & Means Committee Of The Whole meeting for 5-22-01 at 10:30 A.M. The motion was seconded by Sawatzke and carried unanimously.
Mattson moved to adopt Resolution #01-36 requesting a Presidential Declaration of a Major Disaster, seconded by Russek, carried 4-0 on a roll call vote. The request for FEMA funds is being submitted due to recent rain and resulting damage. Damage assessments were sent to the cities and townships. The funds can only be used for public damage, but they could potentially be used to provide a low interest loan.

The ETSU Office of Professional Development is hosting baker Julie Voudrie to teach a six week long cake baking course in Hutcheson Hall.
The course began on Feb. 11 and will occur each week from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, ending on March 17. The cost is $249 for all six sessions.
Voudrie was a contestant on TLC's "Next Great Baker" and has been baking for her entire life.
Voudrie hopes to shed some light on baking in a world where amateur chefs can Google everything that they need to know.
"I think what people might need is a little inspiration," Voudrie said. "I think we've got lots of information. My job is to inspire you guys and to show you that this is not that hard to do."
Voudrie's "baking philosophy" echoes her sentiments in the classroom. She is a firm believer in using affordable, quality ingredients to create flavor in her baked goods.
"This class is 'Let Them Eat Cake,' and it's really all about cake," Voudrie said. "Cake to me has some special memories to it."
Voudrie said that the beginning of her cake career was founded on dedication.
"I wasn't afraid to try, and I think that's the thing with baking: you can't be too afraid to try," Voudrie said. "I was very excited when they asked me to do the class on cake."
The six-week course began with simple cakes made from scratch, and the students will continue to build upon their skills each week.
"We're going to try to recreate, as best we can, the environment that I experienced when I was on 'Next Great Baker,'" Voudrie said.
Voudrie hopes to make the experience as authentic as possible by finding judges and having the event filmed.
"I have a passion to empower people, and that's why I'm here," Voudrie said. "I'm here to empower you guys, that's what I want to do, that's the whole reason I'm doing this class. I want you to leave this class excited about baking. I want you to discover that wholesome joy of making delicious food."

How to Disable Siri on Lock Screen
iOS is indeed an awesome mobile platform and some features have no substitute. For example, the SIRI in iOS. Although, you can find some other alternatives like Google Now, Cortana but nothing can literally compete with Siri, which is probably the best digital assistant for iOS users. You can do almost all the things with Siri as Apple has implemented it very deeply into the functions of iOS. You can use Siri by pressing the Home button for a longer time. This is even possible when you mobile is locked. Now, if you want to disable Siri on lock screen, do follow this guide.
Before, getting into the tutorial, you should know everything about the Siri. If you have been using iOS device, you may know this. But, if you have recently opted for iOS, you should definitely read this.
In simple words, Siri is a digital voice assistant that comes with iOS only. You can do different things like create notes, turn on/off different functions, call/reply to someone, check email and do all the other things with the help of this voice assistant.
Now, as Siri can be enabled from any screen, this can be a threat for you. Although, this is not possible to check anything like email, call log, SMS etc. from lock screen by utilizing Siri, but there are some workarounds that can let anybody bypass the iPhone lock screen without even using the passcode or TouchID. Therefore, instead of using Siri from the lock screen, this is certainly a good practice to disable Siri on lock screen.
Now, this particular setting has a disadvantage. You would be able to open any email or call anybody from lock screen. There are many people, who often give Siri the command to open email or do something others and then unlock the mobile. If you used to do so, you would not be able to make use of Siri from lock screen.

Disable Siri on Lock Screen
This is very easy and not much time consuming at all. In fact, you do not need any third party app or you do not have to jailbreak your device in order to turn off Siri on lock screen in iOS.
At first, open Settings of you mobile and find out Touch ID and Passcode settings. After tapping on this, you will have to enter your passcode in order go further and check other options regarding Touch ID and Passcode. On the next page, you can find options to add fingerprints, change passcode etc. Now, scroll down. Here, you can get ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED category. Under that, you can find Today, Notification View etc. Just toggle the respective button to turn off Siri.
That's it! Now, you cannot open Siri from lock screen in your iOS device. This is as simple as said.

This picture takes my breath away.
I love the way the natural, early morning, sunlight hits her face.
I love her perfect curls.
I love the hint of girly-girl pink in her butterfly barrette.
I love the length of her lashes.
I love the sweet innocence of her face.
I love her beyond words.

John McCain and Barack Obama are pretty much tied in Michigan polling. A June 9 Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of 500 likely Michigan voters released Wednesday had 45 percent backing Obama; 42 percent choosing McCain.
The poll found 83 percent of self-identified Republicans sticking with McCain with a smaller percentage of Democrats, 74 percent, backing Obama. McCain leads among independents by 5 percentage points. McCain leads among men by 11 percentage points. Obama leads among women by 13 points. Obama has a heavy lead among voters under 30, according to the poll. Older voters are split.
Wednesday's Rasmussen poll is the fourth by the group since March 10 to show both candidates within the 4-percentage point statistical margin of error. Though the political futures markets show heavy betting on Obama taking Michigan in November, McCain is betting TV ad dollars that Michigan will vote Republican for president for the first time since 1988. Obama makes his third campaign visit of 2008 Monday with a rally and fundraiser in Detroit.

Late Victorian Era Fashion Chit Chat - November 1883 Peterson's Magazine
General Remarks
It is quite as impossible to describe the numerous materials for dresses as it is to speak of all the variety of styles of making them up. Woolen goods of all the dark colors will be very much worn: sometimes combined with silk, satin, velvet, or velveteen of the same color, but of a different shade, and often made and entirely trimmed with itself. Velvet ribbons are again very popular as a trimming, three of four rows of the ribbon being put on plain around a draped overskirt, and trimming cuffs, etc. Embroidering with braid, and more simple braiding, is also very popular. The latter style is extremely pretty for a well-fitting bodice or jacket. Tailor-made dresses are very much liked for out-of-door wear; they are serviceable and comfortable, but are rather heavy for the house, and do not look as suitable as a lighter style of costume.
Kilt-plaits in front and at the sides, with a slight drapery at the back, are very much worn in these tailor-made dresses; others have a plain skirt tucked, with a pointed overskirt; others again have both skirts trimmed with broad military braid.
Silks, and other materials lighter than cloth, are less severe in style, and are more draped and trimmed. One of the newest styles for flounces is to gather them slightly, and to cut the edges in points or scallops. Then there are the rows of ribbon, or of the velvet ribbon of which we have before spoken; or, for evening-dresses, rows of gold or silver braid.
Sleeves are always put in quite high on the shoulder, and generally with some fullness - in some cases, with a good deal of fullness.
Vests and plastrons, made of velvet, silk, satin, etc., are much worn; and, for evening-dresses, the plastrons are often of tulle or crepe-lisse.
Tournures of crinoline, or steels at the back, are universally worn - as yet of moderate dimensions in this country, but abroad they have already attained rather formidable proportions. But we are glad to say that the old-fashioned hoop has not yet put in an appearance. Still, to be fashionably dresses, the bouffant effect at the back is indispensable. The tailor-made jackets are cut with a spring sufficiently great to fit easily over this fullness. But in the manner of making dresses, or of the materials of which they are made, the greatest latitude is given. Anyone can follow her own especial fancy, remembering only the few important items we have stated, viz: the high shoulder and rather full sleeve, greater fullness at the back, and the close clinging front.
Wrappings are worn of every style: the jaunty jacket rather shorter, as a rule, than those of a year or two ago; the long close-fitting paletot, or sacque, reaching nearly to the feet, with its cuff and shoulder-cape of velvet, Astrakan-cloth, or fur; the mantle, or visite, warmly lined, cut so as to fall over the arms like a sleeve (though no sleeve is inserted), shorter at the back than in front, and loose enough to sit easily over the tournure; and the long loose cloak, made of silk, velvet, or cloth, and also with dolman-shaped sleeves. All these wraps are trimmed - as suits the fancy or purse of the wearer - with fur, lace, velvet, brocade, or rich passementerie. Small fur capes are very fashionable over tight-fitting wraps.
Bonnets are more generally of the smaller shapes, and are usually considered more becoming, though larger ones are worn, if fancied. Hats are usually of a medium size, except the toques or turbans, which are so becoming to youthful faces.
The hair, it is prophesied, will be worn higher on the head than has been the fashion hitherto. This is stylish, but not usually so becoming as when worn lower on the neck; this last style, however, is not so well adapted to people with short necks.

Bay Vigil Locations
Template of Light.
The event on 8/01/08 established a network of places around the Bay which can be utilised for meditation purposes. You can choose your own favorite place, or one of these locations used that wonderful night when people lit up the shoreline right around the Bay.
By spending time quietly with the wonderful soothing and energising beach and bay, we can assist in the healing process of the Bay itself and for ourselves, so giving something back to a Marine Sanctuary which has nurtured so many for so long.
The Bay thanks You!
Focal groups and locations:
Join in or choose your own spot and enjoy yourselves!
1. SMS a reminder to friends & family.
2. Shine your lights onto water or up into the sky [NOT on to cars or residences.]

My all time favorite movie, "Say Anything" is full of inspiring, and hilarious moments, perhaps none more inspiring than the following:
Mike: I don't know you very well, you know, but I wanted to ask you - how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?
Lloyd Dobler: I called her up.
Mike: But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?
Lloyd Dobler: I'm Lloyd Dobler.
Mike: This is great. This gives me hope. Thanks.
When I worked for a small distributor, I heard this sort of line from many of my small competitors. Being small, and boutique doesn't mean you don't deserve to play with the big boys. Sometimes a little unbridled enthusiasm and not knowing what you're not supposed to be able to do goes a long way.

In this very first book cover, I decided to go with a very minimalistic yet atmospheric portrayal of Wolfsbane's collar. It is a very significant item in the plot, even though it isn't magical or anything, because it is a symbol of the protagonist's true identity: The identity that he was forced to give up and now has the chance to reclaim.
This is the cover art for the second book in the series. Here, I decided to depict the terrible Hellfire Lord Goramesh in his native element. Remember, kids, setting yourself on fire is for trained professionals and legendary destroyers only. Don't try this at home!

Hydrate. Eat Right. Workout.
Hydration is the most important pre-workout necessity. Be sure you are regularly refueling to make sure it is reaching the cellular levels, which decreases cramping and muscle fatigue during your workout.
Eat a piece of fruit or a light snack containing complex carbohydrates, such as fiber or whole wheat, before working out. You should also include a bit of protein, preferably a shake, with your pre-workout meal. As added fuel, you may want to take a pre-workout supplement 30 minutes before your workout starts. The supplement should be low in sugar and contain little to no artificial ingredients and additives.
Your mindset is the most important pre-workout fuel. Attack every workout as an opportunity to live a higher quality of life. Your happiness depends heavily on staying healthy. Give yourself a pep talk prior to going to the gym, especially on those days you are not in the "workout mood".

The long-running Christmas tradition of Santa going round streets in Ilkeston on a sleigh has come to a sad end.
Families have been left devastated by the news that Santa will not be coming through the town this festive period.
The event was organised by Ilkeston Round Table but they disbanded due to lack of members,
Nikki Dilks, 26, a mum-of-two from Ilkeston, told the Tiser: "It all stemmed from me asking about it on Facebook. I wanted to make sure the kids would be able to see Santa,
"When I found out it would not be happening I was shocked. It has been here every year since I was a child.
"It usually starts around now and really makes Christmas for a lot of people. My five-year-old son keeps mentioning it."
Mike Perry from the Ilkeston Hospital League of Friends said he was aware that the Round Table had closed.

The Model T RDA isn't just another Velocity deck RDA. This one is something special.The Model T RDA is Duality Designs' flagship RDA. With the entire Model series, the goal is to create a unity between post style and airflow.
With the Model T, the airflow comes in from the sides and is not obstructed by a middle post. This allows air/vapor mixture to meet in the middle of the RDA and then travel up towards the mouth piece. Think of it as an upside down "T" shape, which is why Duality Designs chose the name Model T.
As for the air cutout itself, The goal was to give users multiple options. With the upside down "T" shape, a user can have horizontal, vertical, or all open airflow.
If you are tired of the same old "velocity style" two post layout, the Model T is for you.
Duality Designs decided to put a twist on it and present a slotted and drilled 2 post. The upper part of the deck allows you to easily install advanced builds such as fused claptons, aliens, etc. The bottom is the same drilled hole that everyone is used to. We recommend installing your coil from the top of the post before the bottom.
