These are lined so there is no scratcy sequins rubbing on your skin. I have a 40" hip and am 5'8" and ordered the large.
Comment on this review
To measure girth, place tape measure on center of right shoulder, run through crotch and back to right shoulder loosely (as shown in diagram). Remember, the girth is the most important measurement. When in doubt, let the girth measurement determine size.

The focus of the national debate on gun rights returns this week to Colorado, where voters in a pair of counties have been casting ballots over whether to oust two state senators who supported a package of gun-control bills earlier in the year.
Many polling stations in both El Paso County, the seat of Democratic Senate President John Morse, and Pueblo County, home to Democratic Sen. Angela Giron, opened last week, though unofficial results aren't expected until Tuesday evening, after polls close in both counties.

Sandy and Lonnie Phillips, whose daughter died in the Aurora shooting, speak to Morse supporters last week. The Gazette/Associated Press
The recall vote, the first in the state's history, is widely seen as a referendum on the senators' support for bills that were signed into law in March, including those requiring all potential gun purchasers to submit to background checks and banning the sale of magazines containing more than 15 rounds.
The bills were among the most hotly contested of all the state legislative efforts launched in the wake of the massacre last December in Newtown, Conn. The bills' passage, largely along party lines, was viewed as a significant win for proponents of tighter gun laws.
A successful recall of both Democratic senators would still leave Democrats with a slim majority in Colorado's Senate, and is unlikely to lead to an undoing of the gun laws. But the effort has the potential to influence how lawmakers in Colorado and elsewhere approach gun regulations in the future, opponents and supporters say.
The National Rifle Association has donated about $360,000 in support of the recall, according to public campaign-finance records. "We have members in both districts who are deeply unhappy and asked for us to get involved," said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam. The recall effort is "the ultimate in democracy," he said.
Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a leading gun-control proponent, gave $350,000 to an "issue committee" fighting the recall efforts that was founded by Colorado-based Democratic fundraiser Julie Wells. "These senators stood up for common sense," said Marc La Vorgna, a spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg. "The gun lobby has had the field to itself for too long, and the mayor is committed to making sure the other side is heard."
Locally, the recall fight has sparked aggressive campaigns on both sides, with organizers spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to reach voters through television and radio ads, online media and door-to-door canvassing.
Sandy and Lonnie Phillips, whose 24-year-old daughter was one of the 12 people killed last year at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., by a gunman armed with dozens of rounds of ammunition, campaigned in Colorado Springs neighborhoods in support of Mr. Morse.
Their goal, said the gun-owning couple, was to educate voters on the gun regulations, which they call common-sense measures to keep guns away from mentally ill people and prevent mass shooters from firing dozens of rounds before reloading. "What sane person would not want that law to protect society at large?" said Mr. Phillips.
Supporters of the recall say the gun measures are unlikely to prevent acts of mass violence. "This stuff doesn't work; criminals who want to get guns will get them," said Adam Head, who, along with his brother, launched the recall effort of Sen. Giron. "These sorts of laws just make life harder for the rest of us."
Even if voters decide to keep both senators in office, recall supporters have already sent a message to state politicians, said Tim Knight, one of the original proponents of the recall votes.
"We have changed the narrative," said Mr. Knight, 43, a retired business owner in Durango, Colo.

I recently successfully persuaded the company that I freelance for to open source a core part of their product line. The part we open sourced was essentially the engine that powers several other products. I had a whole page of benefits prepared, but the main one was this:
"Your developers don't seem to realise that the core engine is supposed to be a general purpose platform, almost like an operating system - it needs to be very well documented, and it absolutely can't have any code in it that is specific to one of the applications that runs on it. If you open source it and give it its own website and code repo, your developers will finally understand what it is, and stop dumping application specific code into it when then need to implement a new application-level feature. This will save you time because you won't have to be constantly refactoring application code out of the platform."
Also, "open source is cool, and having an open source product will make it easier hiring new developers" seemed to go down well.

Northwood Elementary School's decision to cease yearbook publication has concerned at least a couple of parents who see the annual as a household staple.
The leadership committee that lowered the axe, facing budget cuts and rising production costs, said there was no other choice. Many households, facing sequestration and other budget crises, can't afford a copy.
Call me old-fashioned, but it's hard to imagine a rainy day or some occasion when boredom or the need for nostalgia arises and you can't go into the closet, burrow through old boxes and find that earliest version of a face book.
Some will say, "Well, you have your memories." But is that true?
Looking at old photos can call up more memories than usual because your brain doesn't need the excess for everyday living.
A fifth-grade yearbook reminds me of a girl absentmindedly rubbing an uncapped ink pen against her Oxford shirt while listening to a class lecture. I'm transported to 1994, and smile as the teacher interrupts the class to alert her that she ruined her shirt. Then I laugh and think, "Why is that the first memory that comes to mind?"
I stop cold upon glimpsing a fellow Boy Scout who died that year from an accidental gunshot while hunting. The Kenny Chesney song comes to mind. "Who would he be today?" I wonder.
Upon seeing the elderly afterschool care staff, some who have passed, I'm struck by the feeling of deep admiration that starkly contrasts a child's attitude about grown-ups who could punish you if you get in trouble.
Across the country, the yearbook is dying. Electronic yearbooks and social media like Facebook are the supposed replacements.
But is that shortsighted?
They say that once something hits cyberspace, it's there forever. However, I can think of several dotcoms that were riding high before dying. While printed products can endure for generations in boxes on shelves, where no one can touch them, a webhost can cut the cord — literally — and it's over.
Some companies, like TreeRing, have capitalized on the concern, printing personalized yearbooks at no cost to schools, with no minimum order requirements. The company's website says it will even plant a tree for each book ordered. It seems like an ideal option for cash-strapped schools.
Locally, two Northwood teachers stepped up and created memory books for their third-graders.
Hats off to you, Erin Adams and Paige Parker. It's this editor's opinion that yearbooks are an integral part of the school experience.
They remind us to laugh, cry and reflect on the past.
What's your view? Write a letter to the editor or tweet News Bulletin Editor Thomas Boni @cnbeditor.

The Dyscalculia Forum :: Calculator Woes
Posted by cem on July 05 2006 08:28 PM
i have just read this thread and my sonwho is nine has problems using a calculator, he forgets what it is he is trying to work out and how he was going to use the calculator.
I think a calculator with a screen that records what you are doing would be very useful. So if he was working out fred has two sweets and betty has one more than fred. How many sweets has betty. His calculator could show his workings.
If we were talking PDA and not calculators he could enter 2 and see 2 dots ( or marbles).
He could enter 2 x 10 and see two lots of ten marblems
Pre programmed questions with require an inserted number could take this format.
What is half of .....? then press enter for answer
What is ...% of....? then press enter for answer
Questions could be upgraded for business to help with tax or VAt. The trick would be to keep the questions in the language that society uses.
Just a thought...

I have been getting gray spots on my photos that I take with my Nikon D70. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? Thanks.
It sounds like you have dust on the sensor. Two options. Either send it in for service or learn how to clean it yourself. There are a few web pages out there with step by step illustrated instructions. Do a Google search.
Specks on the sensor filter certainly could be the problem, but you should make sure of it. The best way that I found for my D70 is to take a picture of say a lightbox or other uniformly lit area, overexpose by 2 or 3, use the smallest aperture to get a clear contour of the dirt specks and manually focus on infinite. If you have specks, they will very clearly show as dark areas. Be careful how you go about cleaning. I have used the method described on www.cleaningdigitalcameras.com with great success. Stay away from Hurricane blowers and SpeckGRABBERS! Good luck.

Breakthrough Design By 18 y.o. Charges Batteries In Seconds
It's really thrilling to see the kinds of things made by these young kids in these science competitions. And this young lady came up with something with immediate practical applications:
An 18-year-old science student has made an astonishing breakthrough that will enable mobile phones and other batteries to be charged within seconds rather than the hours it takes today's devices to power back up.
Saratoga, Calif. resident Eesha Khare made the breakthrough by creating a small supercapacitor that can fit inside a cell phone battery and enable ultra-fast electricity transfer and storage, delivering a full charge in 20-30 seconds instead of several hours.
The nano-tech device Khare created can supposedly withstand up to 100,000 charges, a 100-fold increase over current technology, and it's flexible enough to be used in clothing or displays on any non-flat surface.

Fueling the Fire
Warming Yogic Tips
Trying to stay warm this winter? You could snuggle all day under a blanket or wear several layers of clothing to ward off the chills. You could also do yoga to help fuel the fires, keeping you warm, ridding the body of toxins (especially if you tend to be more sedentary in the cold) and helping your body deal with the seasonal tendency to want to hibernate. So how do you heat the body with yoga?
Breath of Fire pranayama is a natural internal heater. You can even use it as a survival tool if you are caught out in the cold and need to stay warm. Pumping the navel helps keep the digestive fires stoked, as does pulling root lock (mul bhand). First thing in the morning doing a vigorous yoga set gets your blood circulating and helps regulate your body temp throughout the day. Finally, don't neglect those cold showers for some yogic hydrotherapy. Now is the time to warm up with some yogic fire and enjoy the beauty of the winter wonderland!

I'm wondering what the opinions are here of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I've finished her book 'Infidel' on audiobook, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I think atheists are really the only ones in any position to critically examine a religion without hypocrisy because we can avoid the 'well your religion is just as absurd/violent/sexist as ours' argument.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The UDF government is all set to increase pension age of government employees from 55 to 60 years.
On Tuesday CM Oommen Chandy told the assembly that the government has been spending 75% of its revenue on paying salaries, pensions and interest. "This would soon go up to 100%. Pensioners have now overtaken employees. We cannot go on like this,'' said Chandy.
The government is also planning to introduce contributory pension scheme for those who join the service. "Status quo will be maintained for the existing staff. The government has not taken any decision on contributory pension scheme. A final decision will be taken only after discussions with all service and youth organizations,'' said Chandy.
While presenting the issue in the assembly CPM MLA P Sreeramakrishnan said the government was playing with the future of the unemployed youth. He warned of severe agitation if the UDF went ahead with the decision to enhance pension age. Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan, too, warned the UDF of severe consequences. "The contributory pension scheme is nothing but an effort to squeeze employees of their income. This is unacceptable,'' said Achuthanandan.
Finance minister K M Mani, while replying to the debate on the finance bill, mocked the CPM for its double standards. "West Bengal has retirement age at 60. Tripura has pegged it at 58 years. How can the CPM oppose it in Kerala?'' asked Mani.
Earlier in the day opposition walked out of the house protesting against the government's move to enhance the retirement age.

Our persistent need to rank events and people has led to the proliferation of year-end 'Best of the Year' lists; Top 10 Sports Moments of the Year, Top 10 News Stories of the Year, Top 10 Gefilte Fish Recipes of the Year (well, maybe things haven't gone that far …yet). However, an intriguing year-end list, put forth by the Times of Israel, was ' Gentiles of the Year 2012.' One name relatively unknown on this list was Istvan Ujhelyi. Unfamiliar with Mr. Ujhelyi? His name is worth knowing.
After a far-right Hungarian politician called for Jews to be screened as potential security risks, Istvan Ujhelyi, the deputy speaker of Hungary's parliament, led colleagues in wearing yellow stars as a sign of solidarity with the country's Jewish community. While presiding over a parliamentary session, Ujhelyi, bedecked in his own yellow star, said, "One of our fellow deputies stepped over a line that I thought until now could not happen in the halls of the Hungarian national assembly. As far as I know I do not have Jewish ancestry, but should (someone) uncover that I have such roots, I will be proud of them." Some 550,000 Hungarian Jews were killed in the Holocaust, including a third of the victims who died at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Hungary's Jewish population is estimated at 100,000 today, and while physical attacks are rare, an elderly rabbi was insulted recently near his home and Jewish and Holocaust memorials have been vandalized.
Istvan Ujhelyi's action and words brings to mind the teaching of Hillel (Ethics of the Fathers 2:6) "…..and in a place where there are no men, strive to be a man." There are times when circumstances in life require that we go against the tide. Even when no one else has the wisdom or courage to do the right thing, even when everyone else has become part of the faceless crowd, we still must rise to the occasion.

A wealthy matron asked Rabbi Yossi bar Chalafta: "What is the meaning of the verse, [God] grants wisdom to the wise (Daniel 2:21)? Isn't this superfluous? Should it not rather state that God grants wisdom to the unwise and knowledge to those who lack understanding?"

A Lesson in Leadership
Posted by torahideals in Ethics of Fathers on October 3, 2010
In the year 245 BCE, Ptolemy II of Egypt summoned the sages of Israel and ordered them to translate the Torah into Greek. Fearing that certain passages might be misinterpreted if translated literally, the sages opted to alter the language of the verses rather than open the door to heretical distortions.
One such verse was the Almighty's famous contemplation, "Let us make man in our image" (Genesis 1:26), which the sages recast in the Greek equivalent of "I will make man in My image," thereby precluding the false impression that God is something other than indivisible or shares His power.
But why did the Almighty Himself choose to record this verse in the plural and not the singular? The sages explain that the Torah comes to teach a critical lesson in leadership.

It can be funny sometimes, the circumstances in which we meet those people that seem destined to be our life-long friends. The story behind this necklace, always serves as that kind of reminder to me. I met a woman, I think it was about 2 1/2 years ago now, who was quite distressed. Her native tribe was lost to her, her dreams were overwhelming, her health was swiftly spiraling downward. I spent quite a long while talking with the woman, and we exchanged addresses. I thought that maybe, I could make something to help. I am no trained medicine woman, I just have a strong intuition that doesn't let me rest. I made a pouch of sorts, shipped it off, gave her some herbal, meditation, and diet advice, and prayed for the best.
I heard back from her several months later via a box in the mail. There were a few little thank you gifts, but the most important thing was a long letter and the photos enclosed. Her health was improving, she was more active and in considerable less pain. The best news was that she was coming the next spring to visit. I made her another pouch, but the best part of the whole experience was being able to see her walk around more freely. The photos were of her walking around in her yard, or working on it. And there were honest smiles there! To be able to see her face to face again with that kind of renewed energy was the best kind of gift anyone can receive.
Before we parted ways on the last evening of her stay, she gave me a bulky letter, and asked me not to open it until she left. Inside were three shells and a handful of stone chip beads, along with a letter to explain. She was able to walk on the beach again, and she choose three of the shells that spoke to her our of her collection she was able to pick to give to me. As for the stones, she always wore an anklet made of those chips, and when she got out of the car the first day she got to the island, the band broke and all the stones fell neatly on the ground. She felt that their use was done, and that it was time for them to go to me so I could do whatever it was I wanted or needed to do with them. I have a huge tackle box full of beads from either my mother (who has been kind enough to send me down packages when she see's some sale going on in Pennsylvania) and from when Fire Mountain Gems has some really good sales, so I had a wide heishi to use as the top accents.
We still keep in contact, though, life tends to take its sharp turns to make it difficult at times. I painted a little yellow warbler on a feather for her recently for Christmas/Yule/Solstice. She's still doing good, and has a little grandbaby to occupy her time. The beautiful and amazing thing here isn't that her health improved, or that I was given thank you gifts. But rather that on what seems like a chance meeting, we have both gained a friendship that has meant so much for each one of us. I wear the necklace often, it reminds me of her, and how close we can be even though we're several states apart. It reminds me of how a single meeting can change one's life so drastically and in such a positive way.
I've always had an interest in art ever since I could hold a crayon. As the years went on, my skills evolved from coloring in the lines, to painting, carving, and jewelry making. These are just some of the examples I've been working on lately. I hope you enjoy them!

Order 2nd Day on full-size orders by 11:59 p.m. ET 12/20 for 12/24 delivery. Details
Definitely a nice night out on the town cologne. Notting Hill embodies a very manly, musky smell with hints of citrus smells. The aroma is very crisp and clean. Only downfall to this cologne is that it is not long lasting.
I love to smell good and i always buy me cologne so when i received my sample today of Notting Hill English Laundry it hooked me in it has a great woodsy smell to it.I will be buying me a bigger bottle of it soon =)
This fragrance is great, it's crisp, clean, and it lingers without being over-powering as others have mentioned. However, I for one do not personally put on cologne for the smell of it, I wear this because it drives my wife crazy (in a good way) and I think that's the ultimate test of any fragrance. Two thumbs way, way up for English Laundry Notting Hill.
The scent is clean and crisp but not overpowering. Notting Hill will outlast most other fragrances and not diminish in a short time.
The scent was OK...a li5tle old manish. but the sample size in the box was extremely small. It was the sane sample the put in your bag at the mall for free.
Loved the scent! Will be purchasing the box ASAP! I highly suggest this! for you, your loved ones, anybody. Great scent but it isn't overpowering but it also isn't too subtle.

Locavores in Chicago always look forward to the appearance of ramps, the first locally grown vegetable of the season. A sure herald of spring, deliciously pungent ramps crop up on menus throughout the city each year in April.
Chicagoans have a special connection to ramps, which look like a cross between a lily-of-the-valley and a scallion. The name for the city comes from a Native American word for the vegetable, transliterated by French settlers as "chicagou." They once grew abundantly in the area that became downtown.
If you hope to sample Chicago's namesake, don't wait to reserve your table. Ramps are not commercially cultivated, and their season is short. We've put together a selection of fine Chicago restaurants currently featuring ramps on their menus:
The Purple Pig: Charred ramps (done on the plancha) with a house-made romesco sauce
Sixteen: Veal loin with pickled ramp risotto, elf mushrooms, baby artichoke and spring onions
North Pond: Morel mushroom flan with ramp coulis, green olive-almond relish and charred ramp bulbs
MK: Seared Maine diver sea scallops with wilted stinging nettles, pickled ramps, carrot purée and coriander vinaigrette
The Bristol: Ramp fettuccini carbonara with lardo and Pecorino Romano
Girl & the Goat: Goat chorizo flatbread with ramp pesto, fresh ricotta and pickled rhubarb

A violent weather system brought high winds and lightning.
According to Robbie Baker with the Sumter Emergency Management Division, a funnel cloud was spotted near Broad Street and West Wesmark Boulevard in Sumter early Monday evening.
At about 7:00 p.m., the weather system had loosened its grip on Sumter.
Damage was hard to spot in most areas, but along U.S. Highway 378 in Sumter County, motorists could see the aftermath of the storm. The National Weather Service says winds reached more than 60 miles per hour at times.
Although there were no reports of an actual tornado touching down in Sumter County, residents say the storm was just as bad.
"The lightning was popping and tree limbs were falling," said Sumter resident Pamela Dukes.
"It was thundering and lightning really, really, really bad and our power went out," said Sumter resident Brittney Sigler.
Sumter County did receive three to four inches of rain.
Residents are also dealing with power outages. SCE&G reports that around 1,700 customers were without power Monday evening.

I made this simple wrap top using a vintage 1980's simplicity wrap top pattern (the pattern # escapes me now) and some additions and alterations of my own. The fabric is a vintage 1960's cotton/poly blend. The neck edge is bias tape to match and it has a button and loop closure on the exterior and a small tie closure on the interior.

Held on Ocho de Mayo at the Plaza Tennis Center from 7 p.m. to midnight, this benefit for the KC Ronald McDonald House and Operation Breakthrough sounded like wastoidal good times -- $25 ($30 at the door) included food for the first two hours, accompanied by a drinkathon of beer and margaritas. Naturally, the boozefest was the main draw, but we were a bit apprehensive about the fiesta because it could attract the pretentious Plaza bar crowd (which wasn't necessarily a bad thing -- at least that would be heckleworthy).
"You know there'll be orange people there," said Research Assistant Cat as we liquored up beforehand. "They're so fake-baked that they have crusty outer shells," she said. "Like M&Ms. Or like a marshmallow that's been burned."
Another concern was whether a party held by a charity group would be ... well ... fun. These sort of things seem to be organized by the types who planned parties in high school and are now smug marrieds living in the suburbs. But, as we had to remind ourselves periodically throughout the night, it was For a Good Cause. So off we went, once it got dark out.
The Tennis Center was a terrific venue for the party; it was great to be outdoors on a warm, slightly humid night, and the courts were done up nicely. The giant fluorescent lights were off, and strings of Christmas lights added a festive touch (along with randomly cheesy items that we wanted to steal, such as a giant inflatable cactus and a big, doofusy stuffed dog wearing a sombrero). The party took over half the court space facing the horse fountain; carpet and AstroTurf had been laid down, and low tables had been placed on the floor. The stage was at the east end, and a somewhat sizable crowd milled about on the west end.
Despite the fine setting, the suckitude of the party became apparent not long after our arrival. The shindig reminded us of a frat party, from the guys manning the two wooden ticket tables at the front to the multitude of guys inside wearing polo shirts, khaki shorts and mandals (the male sandal -- fashioned from woven strips of leather and a buckle). They had accessorized their outfits with man jewelry (usually a gold-link chain) or a cigar. Among the chicks, there were way too many Hawaiian-print dresses.
We made a beeline for the drinks and were disappointed with the margaritas, which tasted like lemonade without the kick. RA Kathryn pointed out that it reminded her of ground-up SweeTarts. "My teeth kind of hurt," she said. We threw them away and settled for plastic cups of Bud Light. "It's asstastic," said RA Dennis of our skunky beer. Also asstastic was the band, which performed lame renditions of "Mustang Sally" and "Cocaine" and was the band equivalent of 101 the Fox. Which is fine on, say, Chiefs Sunday, but not at a supposedly cool party. "There was, like, a 15-minute keyboard solo," said RA Nadia of one musical interlude. "We were the only people cheering," added RA Jimmy. "It was like the Miami Vice theme." When band broke into "Sweet Home Alabama," everyone around us started dancing. We did the mock do-si-do with Dennis and were confronted by a Bacchus volunteer who was going around and trying to herd people onto the empty dance area. "Hey!" he said. "You should be doing that up front! I'm trying to get people to go up to the stage." He explained that he wasn't the Official Herder for the event and even tried to appeal to our lushery by informing us that we could get a little extra tequila in our margaritas -- but only at the bar by the stage.
We saw through his little ploy and ignored his directive. "This is like a really shitty wedding reception where you don't know anyone," RA Dennis said. We decided to change that and started approaching guys and asking, with a suggestive leer, "So ... who's up for some mixed doubles later?" or "Hey ... what's the score? Love-love?" Our targets laughed nervously, and one replied, "I haven't played in a while." That equaled Dud in our eyes. "It's called a sense of humor, fuckhead," said RA Nickie when we relayed this story to her. "Which is lacking in this crowd."
However, one guy, who gave his porn star name of Dick Winwood, did screech, "Yeeoooow! Double entendre!" He was getting his drink on with bottled water and was there to just hang out with his friends. We asked if he had seen Shandi, of America's Next Top Model fame, who was in attendance, and that set him off. "Give me 60 seconds and I'll find 10 girls here who are hotter than her!" he ranted, even though he had never seen the show and didn't know what she looked like. "Just the fact she was on that show makes her that much more shallow!" We tracked her down, and she was really sweet, so we refrained from being an ass and told her we thought she was robbed on the show.
We herded ourselves out of there and were so depressed (and tiredly lit) by what passes for a buzzworthy social event in KC that we were home by midnight -- on a Saturday night, no less. As we walked to our car, it also didn't help that we could still hear the band, who just happened to be playing "Wonderful Tonight."

City Directory | Complaints | Ordinances | Hours of Operation
The City of Seven Hills is managed by several key departments. The Directors of these departments are skilled professionals and are supported by a collection of talented, long-serving employees. Feel free to contact each department to assist you with your specific issue.
Contact Information Building Commissioner: Mark Moro 7325 Summitview Drive Seven Hills, OH 44131 216-524-4427 216-525-6283 (f) building(at)sevenhillsohio.org
The Building Department is certified by the State of Ohio to enforce building codes and ordinances pertaining to construction or renovation of the interior or exterior of all commercial or residential structures in the city. Since May 2007 residential building departments are also regulated by the Ohio Board of Building Standards. The residential codes are now adopted from a model code agency and written by professionals with a vast and diverse collection of knowledge from all facets of construction, enforcement, and fire service. This action has caused building codes to be standardized throughout the state. This consistency is a benefit to those contractors who work in more than one city as well as residents who share in a wider experience base.
Building Department Inspectors are trained and certified to inspect all phases of construction to determine if installations comply with the approved plans and the building and zoning codes. These professionals are working for the benefit of all to promote public safety, reduce casualty loss, control insurance costs, and maintain property values by ensuring minimum construction and maintenance standards for all structures in the City.
While they are unable to stand watch on each and every project throughout the construction period, these inspections manage the risk and promote a confidence that homes and businesses are safe and sanitary for occupants.
Other responsibilities of the Building Department include response to property complaints and annual exterior property maintenance inspections. Inspectors respond to complaints received and determine if a violation exists. The Building Department is willing to work with residents who have a willingness to have the violations corrected in a timely manner.
The Building Department is also working closely with the City Engineer to abate the sanitary sewer cross connections. These violations cause problems with overloaded sewers and basement flooding. In the extreme cases raw sewage has been diverted directly to creeks and streams. Each year approximately seven miles of sewer is tested. When a violation is identified, the property owner is given a notice that the violation must be corrected and retested.
The Building Department also issues permits for purposes or activities other than construction. Other permits would include the permits for garage sales and vehicle sales.
The Building Department is open Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. We strive to conduct ourselves in a professional, courteous manner providing the residents and contractors with prompt and impartial service. We recognize our partnership with you toward that end.
Common projects that require permits in the city include: Decks, Sheds, Fences, Reroofs, Siding, Concrete work, and most major landscaping. Please call us if you have questions regarding your proposed project.
We can accept cash, checks, debit cards, Visa, and MasterCard for payments. Because of this ability some permits can be issued without physically coming to city hall.

Personal Brick Offer Backfires On Baseball's Marlins
Originally published on Thu April 5, 2012 4:17 am
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. The Miami Marlins got more than they bargained for when the animal rights group PETA bought a personalized brick in the team's new stadium. The engraving reads: Florida is still hosting incredible night games, helps us reach the stars, cheer our Marlins. But the brick contains a hidden message. Taking the first letter of each word, it spells out fishinghurts.com, which would lead Marlin fans to PETA's anti-fishing website. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I just came across this letter, and felt the need to share it. The Recipient of the letter describes the scene leading up to it.
In August of 2007, I finally built up the courage to tell my father I was gay. The moment I said it, the phone got quiet and he got off the phone after a few "Okay"s. I decided to give him time to process the news. About a week later, and not long before my birthday, I received the following letter:
This letter is the failure of the father. Not his having a gay son. This letter. Choosing to turn your back on another human, let alone your own son is, without a doubt, one of the most disgusting act's I've ever read. The callous tone and cold-hearted nature of this letter blow my mind.
This is not a Christian reaction to a son being gay. It may in fact be the furthest response from a Biblical one. If we remove the parent aspect of this and consider it as a church discipline issue, this wouldn't be the correct method either. Matthew 18′s Process:
- go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you
- ut if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
- If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;
- if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector
Here's the key! Tax Collectors and pagans were still welcome in the Church! Just not in positions of authority! Jesus still ate and talked with the Pagans and the Tax Collectors, in fact they were the people he spent the most time with! If you expect God to move in peoples lives, removing them from the presence of people who profess God is not the way!
Sorry for the rant. I hope this letter is as upsetting to you as it was me.

I'Anson are a long established supplier of premium feedstuffs to the Yorkshire farming community. Our success as a company is built upon the high standards we have achieved with our animal feeds across the wide range of products we produce.
Pelleted products allow many raw materials to be combined in relatively small quantities to create a nutritionally balanced feed. Micro-additions of high value minerals can be incorporated and even distribution throughout the mix can be assured. Pellets are an excellent way of delivering high quality balanced nutrition to animals either as a complete feed or as a component in a diet.
Coarse rations combine all the benefits of pellet and Micronized feeds with additional unprocessed ingredients such as alfalfa. Together these can be combined to create a feed that draws unique benefits for each of its ingredients which are not damaged or destroyed by the coarse mix production processes. The finished feeds are aesthetically pleasing and palatable and often command a higher retail value than simple straight or pelleted feeds.
Micronized products provide improved nutritional value over feeding the same materials uncooked. Increased available energy and improved digestibility are both achieve due to the gelatinisation of starch molecules during the cooking process. This is particularly beneficial in starter diets for young animals and poultry.

Easy Listening
My wife gave me an iPod Nano for Christmas last year. I'm an Apple-phile, so no ordinary mp3 player would do. I have the 4GB (Product)red version, so I can listen to my music and my social conscience is clear. Or something like that. Anyway, at last count I have a measly, compared to my siblings, 572 songs on it, leaving around 1.35GB (give or take) available. I use the "shuffle songs†feature almost exclusively as I listen to it on my walk to and from the train station on work days. I work in downtown Chicago, and on most days as I head east from the station and toward the lake I walk along with the same gaggle of other commuters as they head off to wherever they're going, most with their own headphones on. The thought does cross my mind as to what they're listening to as I slowly destroy my hearing with my own music.Â
Today was an especially eclectic day, music-wise. So for most of my commute this morning, I heard the following songs, in this order:
- Us and Them, Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
- That'll be the Day, Buddy Holly & The Crickets
- Back in the U.S.S.R., The Beatles, The White Album
- Black Coffee in Bed, Squeeze, Singles 45 and Under
- Black Wind Blowing, Billy Bragg & Wilco, Mermaid Avenue Vol. 2
- Synchronicity II, The Police, Sychronicity
- The Tale of Dusty & Pistol Pete, Smashing Pumpkins, Adore
- Numb, U2, Zooropa
- Lithium, Nirvana, Nevermind
- Level, The Raconteurs, Broken Boy Soldiers
- Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash
I'm Shipping up to Boston, Dropkick Murphys, Soundtrack from the movie "The Departedâ€
Interesting. What's in your music player?

Several of my good friends pitched in to get me an 80GB iPod which is a HUGE change from the 4GB mini that I originally had. So I need to take a day and upload the rest of my CD collection to my new iPod.
And then, with the remaining 75GB of space, I can figure out what to do with the rest of it!

Much to the wife's chagrin, my nano is pretty much a digital catalog of everything Phil Collins has ever recorded, including most of the post '77 Genesis catalog. And everything Allison Krauss has recorded since the early 90s. I loves me some good bluegrass.
SJS: Asia and Journey? Nice. I gots lotsa that too, with a smattering of Supertramp and Rush to keep up my "retro-cool cred".

This company has recently been acquired or received a credible acquisition offer. |
I-Flow Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets technically advanced, low-cost ambulatory infusion systems that seek to redefine the standard of care by providing life-enhancing, cost-effective solutions for pain management and infusion therapy. The company's products are used both in hospitals and alternate-site settings. I-Flow manufactures a growing line of compact, portable infusion pumps, catheters, and pain kits that administer medication directly to the wound site. These systems also administer local anesthetic, antibiotics, nutritional supplements, and other medications. The company focuses on two distinct markets: Regional Anesthesia and Intravenous (IV) Infusion Therapy. Since the third quarter 2006, I-Flow is no longer actively participating in the Oncology Infusion Services market through the activities of InfuSystem, Inc., previously a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, which provides infusion pump rentals and related disposable products, primarily for chemotherapy. After some delay, I-Flow finally sold InfuSystem to HAPC, Inc. in late October 2007. InfuSystem's revenue is primarily derived from billings to third party insurers. Based on 2006 results, Regional Anesthesia, IV Infusion Therapy, and Oncology Infusion Services contributed 62%, 24%, and 14%, respectively, to total revenue.
The company's strategic focus for future growth is on the Regional Anesthesia market, and more specifically, on its pain relief products marketed under the ON-Q brand. I-Flow is utilizing the resources and expertise of InfuSystem to drive sales in the Regional Anesthesia market segment. In January 2004, I-Flow initiated its new ON-Q Third Party Billing Program, enabling ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to provide patients with this emerging standard in post-surgical pain relief, and to provide I-Flow with reimbursement for the cost of the device. Piloted in 2003, the program facilitates the adoption of ON-Q by physicians and minimizes paperwork for participating ASCs. Specifically, InfuSystem processes claims submitted by the centers, and directly bills a patient's insurance company. In this way, ASCs can reduce the hassles related to billing and collecting for ON-Q. After the sale, InfuSystem continues to provide third party billing services to I-Flow through a license and services agreement. The company intends to continue to expand its sales and/or marketing efforts, to further penetrate the U.S. post-surgical pain relief market for its ON-Q products.
On October 9, 2009, I-Flow and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) announced a definitive agreement in which Kimberly-Clark would acquire I-Flow for $324 million. [1] I-Flow stockholders will receive $12.65 in cash for each share of stock tendered in the offer.

Food & Wine Holidays – Top 5 Food & Wine Destinations – 1Cover Travel
What better way to spend your free time than indulging in the finer things in life? Make the most of your holiday overseas with our guide to the top 5 food and wine holidays . We'll help you experience the best the world has to offer.
1. Tuscany
In Florence, Sienna or Lucca, enjoy superb restaurants and delicatessens among stunning historic architecture. Or venture into the beautiful vineyards of Chianti and Montalcino to sample outstanding Sangiovese-based reds. It's best to travel with a guide who can arrange tastings for you.
2. Paris
For many, Paris is the gastronomic capital of the world, offering an overwhelming choice of bistros, brasseries and fine restaurants. Try Bofinger for traditional fare in belle-époque surroundings, or for the modern approach, head for the top of the Centre Pompidou. There are also some amazing food shops. Fauchon and Hediard are both spectacular, and for chocoholics, la Maison du Chocolat has several 'boutiques' across the city.
3. Napa Valley, California
In the heart of California's wine country, Napa Valley contains more than 250 wineries. Many are visitor-friendly, so you can just turn up and enjoy a tasting – for example, Robert Mondavi Winery offers guided tours all year round in its Mission-style estate complete with sculptures and paintings. Yountville is an excellent base: the US arm of Moet et Chandon is there, as well as the renowned restaurant, The French Laundry.
4. Thailand
If you want to make your Thai cooking as authentic as possible, there's no substitute for some hands-on tuition in the country itself. A number of holiday packages enable you to combine a culinary course with cultural experience – based in Bangkok or historic rural areas. You'll find more information at http://www.essentialtravelthailand.com/
5. Oxfordshire, England
If you're planning a trip to the UK, and want to do a cookery course, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, in Great Milton, is the place to do it. Michelin-star chef Raymond Blanc oversees a range of courses, from dinner party menus to children's cookery – all in the luxurious surroundings of this beautifully restored manor house. Find out more at http://www.manoir.com

STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR ANTÓNIO MONTEIRO, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF PORTUGAL, TO THE SECURITY COUNCIL 3912th MEETING
The situation in Abkhazia, Georgia, continues to cause my Government concern. On the ground, instability, tension and the risk of new confrontations have been high since the tragic events of May 1998, and make the work of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) and the peacekeeping force of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) more difficult and more dangerous.
Concerning the political process, we must note the failure of the parties to settle the conflict. In fact, despite the considerable and sustained efforts of the United Nations, the Russian Federation, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the group of Friends of the Secretary-General to move the peace process forward, we are unfortunately still far from a political settlement.
As the Secretary-General points out in his report, the last six months have been marked by a lack of willingness to renounce violence or to consider seriously peaceful and mutually acceptable options for the resolution of the conflict.
The parties must commit themselves to the search for a political solution within the framework of the United Nations, making use of the mechanism established in November 1997. Political machinery to address the various questions of the peace process is in place and the commitment of the international community to the negotiation process is clear and firm. But primary responsibility for reinvigorating it rests with the parties themselves. They must grasp this opportunity with both hands, and we look forward to concrete and substantive progress on the outstanding issues of the definition of the political status of Abkhazia and the problem of the return of refugees and displaced persons in dignity and safety.
We would like to stress that it is particularly important to begin the return of refugees and displaced persons. We therefore call upon, in particular, the Abkhaz side to allow the unconditional and immediate return of all persons displaced since the resumption of hostilities in May 1998. We commend the Secretary-General and his Special Representative for their efforts to place the Geneva process back on track. The high-level meeting between the two parties which took place last week in Geneva under the aegis of the United Nations was in itself a positive step, and we hope that the parties will intensify their active engagement in this process. We urge them to refrain from the use of force and to observe strictly the Protocol on a Ceasefire and Withdrawal of Armed Formations signed on 25 May 1998.
We remain deeply concerned at the continuing deterioration of security conditions. A significant increase in subversive activities by armed groups has disrupted the peace process and impeded the return of refugees. My Government is particularly concerned about the attacks against UNOMIG and CIS personnel.
The Council should be unequivocal in its intolerance for violence against peacekeepers, which must stop immediately. We demand that the parties provide increased security for UNOMIG and other international personnel. In this regard, we welcome the measures already taken to improve security conditions and to minimize the danger to UNOMIG personnel.
However, we believe that unless further arrangements are made in this field, the Mission will not have the capacity to return to its full operational levels and to fulfil its mandated tasks. We therefore welcome the decision of the Secretary-General to keep the security of UNOMIG under constant review.
In conclusion, we support the extension of UNOMIG's mandate, as recommended by the Secretary-General, as well as the draft resolution before us, which addresses our concerns.

text: This book alternates between two different times in history, which adds to the drama, keeping the reader's interest. Max, one of the main characters, has Asperger's Syndrome, and the author does a good job of describing how everyday objects, people, sounds, textures, smells and social encounters can affect her. It made me understand why she related so well to the animals in the book. Even though the stories take place in Africa, the reader can easily make comparisons to other similar times and places in history.

While I disapprove of the bullying that goes on there, I don't think BtB is a bad community overall. Sometimes there are really funny posts that aren't mean at all and sometimes people really do use it to vent rather than to bully people. I would say the vast majority of the bullying that goes on there is just made by trolls who want to make drama so a lot of it shouldn't be taken seriously. My suggestion to anyone who doesn't want to deal with the drama is just don't go to BtB. A lot of it is drama and most of the funny posts I mentioned before end up on tumblr anyway so if there's anything that's actually worth seeing you'll probably see it that way.
If you do go on BtB and find that someone posted something about you, don't get too upset about it. I would say first to analyze it and ask yourself if it sounds like someone just trolling or if it actually sounds logical. If it's something like "ur fat and stupid and shuld leave rori forever" then it's obviously just something you should ignore. However, I think there are certain situations when you could learn from these situations. I have gotten messages before that people could classify as "hate" but instead of taking them as such I thought about them as critique and used it to better myself. For example, I've gotten messages here that have said things about me coming off as rude in some posts and while I never thought I was being rude, I can see how my bluntness could be taken as such so I've been trying to fix that and think harder about how I word things. (You can actually see some of these messages if you go back through my "personal" tag a bit.) Sometimes things that might come off just sounding like anonymous hate can actually be quite helpful.
Long story short though, if you don't like drama, don't bother with communities that are famous for drama such as BtB and if you do find that someone is talking about you, don't get too upset about it. It's just the internet and a lot of the time people just like to cause problems for fun.
Submitted question:
I was reading some of the secrets on Behind the Bows, and I almost felt like crying. I knew that not everyone in the community was nice, but is this what I should expect when I start building my wardrobe?
Behind the Bows represents a relatively small portion of the Lolita community. Many (I would say at least half) of the posts you see there weekly are troll posts, not meant seriously but rather to start drama, and many of these posts you see are made by the same person. Usually there's one, two, maybe three people who make a several different troll posts every week (mixed in with a few here and there from other people) just to see what trouble they can stir up in the community. It's usually not something to take seriously. People in general are much more brave when they can hide behind the cover of anonymity.
