You have just been diagnosed with a condition that requires surgery. Not long ago, your options might have been limited to traditional surgery with a large open incision, or laparoscopy, which uses small incisions but is typically limited to less-complicated procedures.
Through the use of the da Vinci Si® Surgical System, surgeons at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center can offer a minimally invasive option for complex surgical procedures. With the latest da Vinci Si® technology and a team of surgeons with extensive experience, robotic surgery can offer a safer, more comfortable and more effective option for patients with prostate cancer, gynecological disorders, colorectal cancer, and many benign conditions including diverticulitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
One of our latest innovations is the introduction of single-incision robotic surgery to treat hernias, gallbladder disease and other abdominal conditions with no visible scar.
In prostate cancer treatment, millimeters matter. Studies show da Vinci prostatectomy provides excellent cancer removal with greater surgical precision, offering many men fewer side effects than conventional surgery.

What kind of country is this?
Published in: Daily Mail
The despairing words of Damilola Taylor's father said it all. As the Old Bailey jury found the youths accused of killing his son not guilty of murder and then failed to agree on whether they were guilty of manslaughter, he put his head in his hands and said to his wife, 'This is rubbish. This is a mess. What kind of a country is this?'
One might well ask. The Taylors have now been put through the harrowing ordeal of enduring not one but two trials in the forlorn hope of seeing justice finally done for their slain son -- only to find both trials collapsing in an almost unbelievable display of serial incompetence in a saga which has gone on for six years and still hasn't been brought to a conclusion.
Ten year-old Damilola was killed in a grubby stairwell on the North Peckham estate in south London in November 2000. The attempt to bring his killers to justice has already cost the taxpayer

Buses back to Motsa's rank'
MBABANE – The Manzini public transport operators will return to Moses Motsa's plot, at least until midnight on Sunday, the High Court has ordered.
Initially the Municipal Council of Manzini had gone to court to seek a temporary order stopping Moses Motsa from unlawfully using his property as a bus rank on the grounds he used it for something it was not gazetted for and its continued use prejudiced the council's ability to discharge its statutory duties.
The council was represented by lawyers Manene Thwala and Kenneth Motsa.
The Swaziland Commercial Amadoda Road and Transport Association
(SCARTA), Swaziland Transport and Allied Workers Union (STAWU) and Buhle BemaSwati Association also took the council to court demanding to use Motsa's plot as a bus rank. They were represented by lawyer Lloyd Mzizi
"Pending finalisation of this application, the same situation as of now be restored in that the members of the associations be authorised to use Lot 1341, situated within the Manzini Council," read part of the application.
In essence, the associations demanded the continued use of Moses Motsa's plot as a bus rank pending finalisation of the rank impasse with the Manzini municipality.
SCARTA President, Duma Msibi further accused the council of having taken the law into its own hands by restraining them from entering the purported rank. The property owner, Motsa, did not have in his possession a court order preventing him from using his property as a bus terminus.
The two cases were, however, consolidated and heard as one by the High Court yesterday. The case was before High Court Judge Jacobus Annandale who asked counsels from both sides to meet their clients and decide on the way forward. He did not entertain counsels' arguments in connection with the way forward.
Both parties met and they reached a settlement whereby it was agreed that the bus operators and vendors would return to Motsa's plot with effect from this morning. The settlement was made an order of court.
Judge Annandale, therefore, ordered that SCARTA and the vendors be permitted to use Motsa's plot pending finalisation of the matter by the council. They were further ordered to refrain from using it from Sunday May 6, 2012 at midnight and to operate at any place to be communicated to them by the Manzini Municipal Council in terms of the Urban Government act. Police were ordered to ensure enforcement of the order.
Below is the chronology of events that let to the cases being filed with the High Court and the subsequent outcome;
... but march to ministers is still on
MBABANE – While transport operators and vendors were impressed with the High Court ruling, they will still march to three government ministries today.
This was revealed by STAWU's negotiator, Petros Ndzabandzaba at the High Court yesterday. Ndzabandzaba was addressing the Manzini public transport operators and vendors after the case in which they triumphed over the municipal council. He said they were going to deliver a petition at the Ministries of Housing and Urban Development, Public Works and Transport and a copy thereof at the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. He also announced that they would be ferried by Emavulane Transport today.
"We are going to express our concerns. The judgment is not very useful because it is exactly the same judgment we got in January 2010," he said.
Ndzabandzaba said operating from the Satellite Bus Rank made life very miserable for them. "With the introduction of the value added tax (VAT), life has become difficult for bus operators because the vehice tyres have become more expensive," he added.
According to him, the Manzini public transport operators were worried about the Road Transportation Board's new approach to the renewal of licences. He said for one to have his licence renewed, he must agree to working from the Satellite Bus Rank. He said there was a clause in the permit which bound operators to work from the Satellite Bus Rank.
Ndzabandzaba, however, added that they should not be understood to be on strike tomorrow, but they will only be on holiday. He said their holiday was indefinite and they would return to work when they feel they have rested enough.

Server's down: How do I find out what's wrong?
Track down Linux server problems with this step-by-step troubleshooting guide
This article is excerpted from the book DevOps Troubleshooting: Linux Server Best Practices and is reprinted by permission of publisher Pearson/Addison-Wesley Professional.
Many different problems can creep up on a network, so network troubleshooting skills become crucial for anyone responsible for servers or services on servers attached to a network. Linux provides a large set of network troubleshooting tools, and this article discusses a few common network problems along with how to use some of the tools available for Linux to track down the root cause.
Problem: Server A can't talk to server B
Probably the most common network troubleshooting scenario involves one server being unable to communicate with another server on the network. This section will use an example in which a server named dev1 can't access the web service (port 80) on a second server named web1. Any number of different problems could cause this, so we'll run step by step through tests you can perform to isolate the cause of the problem.
Normally when troubleshooting a problem like this, you might skip a few of these initial steps (such as checking the link), since tests further down the line will also rule them out. For instance, if you test and confirm that DNS works, you've proven that your host can communicate on the local network. For this example, though, we'll walk through each intermediary step to illustrate how you might test each level.
Client or server problem?
One quick test you can perform to narrow down the cause of your problem is to go to another host on the same network and try to access the server. In this example, you would find another server on the same network as dev1, such as dev2, and try to access web1. If dev2 also can't access web1, then you know the problem is more likely on web1, or on the network between dev1, dev2, and web1. If dev2 can access web1, then you know the problem is more likely on dev1. To start, let's assume that dev2 can access web1, so we will focus our troubleshooting on dev1.
Is it plugged in?
The first troubleshooting steps to perform are on the client. You first want to verify that your client's connection to the network is healthy. To do this you can use the ethtool program (installed via the ethtool package) to verify that your link is up (the Ethernet device is physically connected to the network). If you aren't sure what interface you use, run the /sbin/ifconfig
command to list all the available network interfaces and their settings. So if your Ethernet device was at eth0
$sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: pg
Wake-on: d
Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)
Link detected: yes
Here, on the final line, you can see that Link detected is set to yes, so dev1 is physically connected to the network. If this was set to no, you would need to physically inspect dev1's network connection and make sure it was connected. Since it is physically connected, you can move on.

Name: Salumi Artisan Cured Meats
Location: Seattle, WA
Meal: Salami, Mozzarella, and Sweet Pepper Sandwich and Porchetta Sandwich
Type: Italian
Seattle is home to a number of great restaurants and meals but you wouldn't assume that would include world-class charcuterie. The mythos behind the restaurant is that it is run by Mario Batali's father who, after retiring from Boeing, wanted to learn the art so he traveled to Italy and trained with a master. He returned and opened up shop; a master in his right now. There is no debating that Salumi is now on the short list of Seattle foodie attractions. I had heard stories of the lunch lines (entire store hours 11am-4pm) so I walked over from my hotel and arrived a half hour before they opened their doors and was already third in line. By the time the doors would open, 25-30 people would be queued up to pay their respects to the pig. Continue reading

Mast and rigging specialist Marine Results has found another niche for its services by getting involved in the magic behind nondestructive testing (NDT).
The first "level" of testing is basically one up from tapping an area with a hammer, as it's really another, more sophisticated tapping mechanism.
Appropriately called a Woodpecker, it is a handheld bit of kit useful for testing, thin composites or cored materials with thin skins; bulkheads and booms for example. With it the Marine Results team can check a large area reasonably quickly. Further, it makes it possible to pick up delamination to the inaccessible rear of the composite, which is difficult to find with basic tapping.
However, with thicker skinned structures, hulls and so on, you have to move up a level. The Bondascope still works by resonance, but shows the result on a small screen. It picks up local changes in stiffness in even quite thick structures, so the team can translate the wavering spots on the small oscilloscope display and relate them to damaged areas or to reinforcements such as bulkheads or stiffeners. The unit can locate damaged areas as small as 20 millimeters across fairly easily, "including the kind of bumps you get from logs and floating debris," explains Ben Wood, who manages the Dye Penetrant facility of Marine Results.
Ultrasound technology takes it one stage further-and here it becomes very, very useful for boatbuilding. The zigzagging lines on the screen can be translated into "strata"-which are reflected pulses of ultrasound from the structure and if there's an unexpected jump in the pulse position, its probably indicating a discontinuity such as a void or delamination.
"This means you can identify the joins on dense composite structures-carbon or glass fiber-even in multiple layers, and you can see how well they have bonded," says Mr. Wood.
"So, the mast manufacturers come to us and ask us to check the bonding, for example where two layers have been overlapped to form the tube of a mast, and the areas of stiffening where the designers have put in additional laminate to strengthen the composite."
But the process is also being used to check the integrity of the material before it starts to be bonded into a mast, daggerboard or rudder. "If you can pick up an area where the resin and fibre have not consolidated properly before you start to work with it, you save a lot of time, money and effort," explains Mr. Wood.
The biggest part of NDT is calibration of the apparatus. He explains: "Usually the mast manufacturer will give us offcuts and test panels, but we have also built up a huge library of testing pieces, so that the equipment can give a good read out as possible."
Obviously, all this is easier on a new build since the mast and rigging is laid out in front of you, but if there's been damage at sea, then you want to get an idea of the structure's integrity before the crew sets out again.
Which meant one day last month Mr. Wood was to be found dangling from rigging 25 meters in the air, with an iPhone in one hand, an ultrasound device clipped onto his belt and a white marker in his pocket.
"The mast manufacturer was in New Zealand, the boat was in Greece. However, the ultrasound unit meant I could map out the area of damage to the composite, mark it up with the white pen, take a picture of the mapped area on the phone and email it through to the designer. Then came the calls to determine whether the boat was good to sail or not-it was, and the crew made it out by sunset." There's another side to NDT that's usually more allied with metal structures.
This relies, not on acoustic and ultrasound signals, but on fluorescent dyes that can make even the most microscopic of cracks glow like a luminous party string under ultraviolet light.
Ben Wood, who manages the Dye Penetrant facility, gives a guided tour of the process in the Marine Results basement. It is not a straightforward "kit" test by any means.
"Firstly it has to be done in an extremely controlled environment," he explains. "It's not just the chemical composition. The temperature of the drying ovens, the water pressure and the step by step process is extremely well regulated, so we can get duplicable, reliable results time and time again – no matter which member of the team does the inspection."
The parts to be tested are cleaned carefully in solvent, before being dipped into a bath of luminescent yellow dye. The parts are then washed down, getting rid of all the excess, except that which has crept into a crack or discontinuity. Oven drying follows, and then "developing" in a dust storm cabinet for 20 minutes, which allows particles to adhere to the sticky dye at the edge of any fault lines – these pick up some of the dye, giving a wider silhouette to possible damage.
Now, it is probably a time consuming and expensive task for one-off checks, but, says Mr Wood, "if you are renewing a boat's rigging and hardware at the start of another season, it probably saves money because we can pass the parts through the tests in series, and say, for example, 'this tip cup needs replacing, but this one's OK with a clean up'. An owner isn't stuck with such a big replacement bill."
The nice thing about all this is that there is, despite the very well regulated environment at Marine Results' premises, a portable version. This can be taken and used on metal parts in situ, and although it doesn't give such a fine result, will point out if more action is needed.
Mr Wood does add a note of caution though: "We do get people who want to know if the structure is safe to sail with or not – but that's not actually our job. What we do is hand the results of the investigation over to the designer of the mast who will have to make the ultimate decision. We only point out where and what the material failures actually are and give detailed information on the size and location and nature of the defects."
But this data feed back to the designers does have its benefits beyond identifying the immediate problem: "The mast designers actually take on the information and work it into their products," says Mr Wood. "For example, there were a number of material failures where the halyard kept on banging into the mast-later mast designs got another layer of strengthening just at that point."

5 Questions to Test Your Financial IQ
Reader Comments
1980 beta pollution users debate
After investing in many different things over my early years, I discovered John Bogle, Vanguard, index funds and Asset Allocaton. Even after losing about 22% of my net worth since Oct, 2007, I still have more than $1.5 M in investments. I read a lot about financial stuff, but I have never used an official adviser. Index funds through low cost fees and EFT's are the way to go.
A lot of our problems financially comes from trying to keep up with the Jones'. If you live within your means, a credit card will never be in your pocket. Mr.Warren Buffet has lived in the same house for many years, he could afford better, but does not require it.
You can live just as well without an alligator on your shirt.
Waste not, want not.
This is not rocket science !
If you are broke, join the Army. Life is good.
Like Frank Little of CA, I feel the use of credit should be a convience, not a necessity. If I cannot
pay for any consumer item within the grace period,I simply will not buy it. This is not complicated and if people would do this, nearly all debt problems would be eliminated. Giant monster mega-banks would not be able to rip off the American consumer as they have in the past 20 years or so. We need someone on the side of the consumer in Washington so the interest rates will cap at 10-12%. Too many Congressmen and Senators have been all to willing to take payoff money from the big bank lobby and have helped create the mess we have today. Mr. Little has condensed into 5 small paragraphs all most of us need to know about financial matters.
Now if we could only get some non-corrupt Senators on
the Senate Banking Committee---
Credit is the enemy of the United States. Our government is a poor example and perhaps the worst example.
In my 82 years I have always been poor. I could never afford to spend for any sort of luxuries.
This was an advantage. I have never run a credit card balance. My home is free and clear. My auto is also paid for.
I believe that, "If you can't afford to pay cash, then you sure as hell can't afford to pay cash plus interest." It works for me!
Now my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are going to pay for all those idiots who are more ignorant than me.
As a Dave Ramsey (voluteer) FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY facilitator for 57 wonderful Florida individuals in the 13-week program (and as a high school teacher) I can tell you that most of us Americans are IGNORANT when it comes to our finances. The fact that we, as a country, are drowning in debt (personal, couple, local govt, state govt, and especially fed govt) is proof that we are clueless or apathetic (or both). We are killing any chances for our children and their children to get fiscally healthy and live the lives we do (or our parents did) due to our lousy choices. Even welfare recipients can learn fiscal health from programs such as Ramsey's. My husband and I rid ourselves of $18,000 in debt since 2007. We drive old vehicles, limit our travels, live in a nice house for just $834 monthly (on an over $94,000 salary), do not possess credit cards, use debtit cards, shop nice sale racks, etc. Our young kids are already telling their friends how dumb credit cards are (and why) so hopefully THEY stand a better chance in life to live well post college. Life is about CHOICES and we must own those choices before we stand a chance at fiscal salavation. On April 15 I will be at a downtown TEA PARTY. Everyone should listen to Dave's radio program or check out his online site; he provides a wealth of info on how taxes HARM the very people they are supposed to help...Just more income distribution thanks to our incompetent political "leaders."

Internet fans, beware: FBI warns web surfers to check their systems for a bit of malware called DNSChanger, or they might not be able to get online as of July.
If you have a hard time surfing the web this summer, it might be the Estonians' fault.
Not the whole country; just a gang of six Estonian hackers who allegedly created a particularly nasty cyber gremlin that requires professional help to remove.
If you don't double check your system isn't infected with a bit of malware called DNSChanger, or you might not be able to get online as of July 9, the FBI and the Canadian Internet Registration Authority both warned.
"This is really difficult to remove, and it's very persistent," said Jacques Latour, CIRA's chief technology officer. There have been some reports of users reformatting their computers — essentially wiping them clean — but still not successfully getting rid of DNSChanger.
Whether it's a real online apocalypse July 9, or a fizzle like the Y2K bug, depends upon how many people clean up their computers in time.
DNSChanger was designed to direct computers to fake DNS servers — the computers which translate website addresses from names (such as www.thestar.com) into a series of numbers. Those fake DNS servers were designed to take control of your web surfing.
It worked, infecting hundreds of thousands of computers around the world, including some belonging to NASA. As a result, the Estonian hackers collected millions of dollars in illicit advertising revenue, the FBI said.
DNSChanger had been around for up to four years before being uncovered by an FBI probe called Operation Ghost Click last year. That comes as no surprise to David Skillicorn, a cyber security expert at the Queen's University School of Computing.
"The DNS system is supposed to be invisible to end users, so most people wouldn't have had any clue something was wrong. Even if they did, they wouldn't know how to fix it," said Skillicorn.
Six Estonians were arrested for their alleged roles in creating DNSChanger. At the time of the arrests, the fake DNS servers were taken offline, while the non-profit Internet Systems Consortium set up some "clean" DNS servers as a temporary substitute.
But the plug gets pulled on the substitutes in early July, partly because they're expensive to run, and partly because it was believed most people would have gotten their computers checked out for DNSChanger by then.
The problem is, many users haven't removed it, meaning when the plug is pulled, their computers will be looking for something which no longer exists (remember that Seinfeld episode when Jerry's Nana went looking for her old bank branch?).
To find out if your computer is infected, you can visit the DNSChanger malware checker created by ( http://DNS-OK.ca) CIRA. If your system is still infected, you can get removal instructions by visiting a site set up by Public Safety Canada.

About Us
For more than 40 years, Balchem has perfected the art of protecting nutrient quality and viability through its patented encapsulation technology called Shure™ Technology. Today, Balchem's Shure™ Technology protects more than 140 different products across human, animal and industrial applications.
In 1999, Balchem's Animal Nutrition and Health Division was formed to bring the benefits of their Shure™ Technology to animal agriculture. Balchem's Shure™ Technology allows nutrients to be delivered to targeted locations consistently and efficiently within the animal's digestive system.
In the case of ruminants, microencapsulation allows nutrients to bypass the rumen for delivery to the small intestine. Because the rumen degrades almost everything it encounters, protecting critical nutrients through microencapsulation is essential in order to meet the nutrient requirements of today's high producing dairy cows.
In 2011, Balchem leveraged its growing expertise in encapsulation technology to refine and improve its manufacturing processes. These advancements have provided improvements in nutrient concentrations and has placed it best in class cost position for delivering encapsulated nutrients to livestock.
Commitment to Animal Nutrition and Health
Balchem brings a history of significant research and development to the animal industries.
As the leader in encapsulation technology, Balchem continues to improve on this technology to provide the most consistent and effective Precision Release ingredients available today.
As part of the commitment to precision feeding advancements and to animal agriculture, Balchem's innovations will be realized as delivering both savings and improved performance to livestock producers, making precision feeding cost-effective for the entire industry.
The Balchem family of products continues to expand in order to meet the needs of dairy, poultry, swine and aquaculture.
AMINOSHURE-L® Precision Release Lysine, a highly concentrated, encapsulated source of lysine for dairy cow rations..
REASHURE® Precision Release Choline helps transition cows maintain energy balance and minimize metabolic disorders during this time period.
NITROSHURE™ Precision Release Nitrogen delivers nitrogen to the rumen in proper proportion to carbohydrates for the production of high-quality microbial protein in ruminants.
NIASHURE™ Precision Release Niacin provides a nutritional solution to help cattle handle heat stress.
KEYSHURE® Chelated Minerals used in animal feed throughout the world, utilizing our proprietary chelation technology for enhanced nutrient absorption for various species of production and companion animals.
VITASHURE C® Precision Release Vitamin C uses encapsulation to protect vitamin C from typical losses during feed processing and storage and to deliver the vitamin C in a highly bioavailable manner, in ruminants, non-ruminants and aquatic species.
CHOLINE CHLORIDE An essential nutrient for animal health, predominantly in the poultry and swine industries, Choline plays a vital role in the metabolism of fat and in building and maintai cell structures. Choline deficiency can result in, among other symptoms, reduced growth and perosis in chicks; fatty liver, kidney necrosis and general poor condition in baby pigs.

Kenny Baker
Sunday morning, I was happy to be of help to Kenny Baker and his lovely wife by courting them from their hotel to the autographing tables.... with the wheelchair, it was a bit of a push for his wife for sure. During the chat on the way to and through the Excel, we talked about their trip through the Rocky Mountains of the western United States (My old stomping grounds) and their lovely visit to Switzerland (My new stomping grounds).
I had the chance to compliment Kenny on his work in "Time Bandits" and I fell in love with his wife. She's a wonderful and gracious lady. I found the couple to be extraordinarily aproachable and kind. It was my sincere pleasure to meet them both and to have been able to serve in the capacity I did.
They offered me a signed print in return of my services. I chose the print of R2-D2 in the desert trench in Tunisia for which I asked for it to be personalised. It started a great day.

Todd Dillon (46 years old and living in Wilmington, NC) with his presumed son, Preston. Like Tom Fetzer, the former Mayor of Raleigh who later became the Chairman of the Republican Party in North Carolina until the Tea-Partiers booted him because of his "homosexual past", Todd, too, apparently abandoned his earlier "wild life" of more natural-to-him sex AND MARRIED A WOMAN so he could REPRODUCE -- late in life, proving he's a REAL MAN!!!

First of all, when one sends an email referring to "this email" without
replying to or forwarding OR IN ANY OTHER WAY, REFERENCING ANOTHER
EMAIL, it means THE EMAIL CONTAINING THE WORDS "THIS EMAIL". I did NOT
create the email you sent us all.
2. When I create emails, I do so on a Windows 7 computer, using my ten fingers to type.
Disclosure: I AM actually sick in that I have a bacterial infection in a
large ulcer-like sore on the bottom of my right foot. I am getting
medical treatment and a good prognosis.
4. I see from your signature that you have a "career" in "credit
repair" -- a field that has been considered a scam for years now. What's
up with that???
-- May I assume that with your lack of logic, evidence of poor education, and scamming career that you are a REPUBLICAN???

3. I also heard from the alleged "Miguel Angel" of Cartagena, Spain,
who FINALLY proved to me by fishing (phishing) for my physical
address that he is ACTUALLY a figment of the REPUBLICAN PARTY's

my blog, but will NOW post his latest email and my response (not
posted elsewhere on this blog) as well as his alleged photo he sent
Hi Miguel,
Thanks for your note -- which I found to be
well-written English and quite clear (on the surface) -- but it
made VERY clear to me that you and I have too many things we
disagree on philosophically and ethically, so I choose to no
longer communicate with you. I'm afraid I would only want to
argue too many points -- and it is my job to change NO ONE (really), but myself. That said, I DO put my perspectives into emails and blog posts hoping to give people something to think about. Most don't.
Pearls before swine -- and all of that (alternately, in the
long run, I might be proven to be the "swine" -- only Time will
tell). I wish you the very best and hope you find a man who loves you
with all his heart and body -- and you love him in return.
Should you ever come to Puerto Vallarta, drop me an email after
you arrive in town and perhaps we can meet!!! Having explored photos and history of Cartagena extensively
when we first met, I will spare you the cost of mailing a
picture postcard -- ESPECIALLY since you are now on a reduced
income without a job, and helping your problematic mother
who was so BADLY photo-shopped into that photo you sent
that included her. All best, Scott On Sat, May 19, 2012 at 1:49 AM, Miguel Ángel

Mira Vista Travel Tips
Mira Vista Lodging: High Style California Living
The deserts of southern California are sunny, mild, and highly desirable vacation destinations. When planning a getaway to the Palm Springs area, consider Mira Vista lodging to provide privacy and luxury like no other. Mira Vista vacation homes boast open, spacious floor plans with expansive windows allowing guests to take in the brilliant, ever-shining sun and desert and mountain views. These homes and villas are private residences with outdoor patios that don't have to be shared with other guests. Surrounded by golf courses, Mira Vista vacation homes are a golfer's delight.
Enjoy Nearby Palm Springs
If Bugs Bunny had taken the right turn at Albuquerque, he would've landed in Palm Springs, one of southern California's gems. Palm Springs celebrates its citizens and visiting celebrities who have made an impact in the area by having their stars in the sidewalk. Similar to Hollywood's stars, Palm Springs has 329 stars dedicated to those who have contributed to the well-being of the area. Some names you may recognize are George Lopez, Mickey Rooney, Chevy Chase, and Carol Channing. Another tribute to history, the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies. This Broadway-style production celebrates dance, comedy, and music from the 1940s through the 1970s.
Tasteful Art Found Nearby
For the art aficionado, there is no lack of places to visit in the areas surrounding Mira Vista lodging. The R. E. Welch Gallery is home to many paintings and sculptures and is said to have a very helpful staff. The J. Willott Gallery hosts national art tours, as well as, maintains exhibits from several artists on a regular basis. Aerie Sculpture Garden and Gallery blends nature with art. Sculptures are presented in the outdoor desert garden and an indoor gallery is on site. Wherever the day was spent, a good night's rest awaits at Rancho Mirage vacation rentals.

Judge dismisses Dotty's slot parlor lawsuit against Clark County
A federal judge on Friday threw out the Dotty's tavern and slot parlor chain lawsuit against Clark County, ruling county commissioners have broad powers to regulate such locals' gaming establishments.
Dotty's and its sister company Jackpot Joanies sued the county in May 2011 after the County Commission required them and similar small businesses with gaming to build bars with at least eight embedded slot machines to ensure that gaming was an incidental part of the business model as opposed to being the key revenue driver.
Commissioners and state gaming regulators had fielded complaints about Dotty's business model from Las Vegas locals' casinos, which asserted Dotty's was competing unfairly by not making the required investments in bars and kitchens like traditional gaming taverns.
Dotty's, however, said it was filling a market niche preferred by women who liked its standalone gaming machines being clustered together in a living room-like atmosphere.
In its lawsuit, Dotty's said its due process rights were violated because it had a property interest in its county gaming licenses and the new rules amounted to a ''back-door revocation'' of those licenses.
U.S. District Judge Kent Dawson rejected that argument in an order filed Friday, saying the county had not acted to restrict, remove or suspend those licenses.
"The county has a legitimate interest in promulgating ordinances that facilitate the proper use of gaming licenses. Regulations aimed at preventing misuse of restricted licenses and closing loopholes in licenses that provide only for 'incidental' gaming are well within the county's purview," Dawson wrote in his order. "The county also has an interest in requiring that businesses with the privilege of holding a gaming license provide employment, services and amenities to the community. The court will not second guess the county's determination that taverns operating under limited gaming licenses should comply with certain physical requirements, including having eight bar-top gaming devices, to enhance public welfare."
Dawson in his order said that Dotty's attorneys, perhaps anticipating his ruling, had sought permission to file a new amended complaint. He gave them three weeks to do so.
A Dotty's spokesman said the company was reviewing the ruling and had no immediate comment.
In pursuing their lawsuit last year, Dotty's attorneys noted the company had 21 taverns in Clark County alone.
''This was not an ordinance intended for general application or to cure a widespread problem,'' they complained of the new Clark County rules. ''It was targeted and engineered for the singular, overt, and illegal purpose of squelching a successful small business that the county's well-heeled, big gaming constituents want to pillage of its loyal, slot-playing customers.''
Dotty's separately in February voluntarily dismissed a similar lawsuit against the Nevada Gaming Commission over its rules regulating its business. The suit was dismissed for undisclosed reasons.
Dotty's lately, with a new attorney, has been appearing before the Gaming Commission and the state Gaming Control Board and appears to be working to improve its working relationship with state casino regulators.

"U.S. District Judge Kent Dawson rejected that argument in an order filed Friday..."
This judge is a champion of Big Bucks. He regularly denies justice to homeowners in foreclosure cases based on bogus authorites, ignoring the laws he swore an oath to faithfully and impartially administer. He's like our Congress -- the best money can buy.
"If you get a corrupt judge, you destroy the laws ..." -- the actually Honorable Ruben Boise, 1857
"Commissioners and state gaming regulators had fielded complaints about Dotty's business model from Las Vegas locals' casinos." As we've seen over the years, the suits that run the major hotels & casinos simply hate competition and "regulators," whose pockets are filled with "campaign" contributions, are only too willing to comply in choking it off to our detriment. I've never been in a "Dotty's" and probably never will be, but I fully side with them and their quest to do business. But the halls of power, being infested with crooks, liars & thieves, will do everything in their power to satisfy the deep pockets that support them. It's just another reason to distrust politicans and the patronage appointments they make.

My Profile
Richard Devine
Richard Devine is one of the most talented (if not prolific) of the producers organized around the Miami neo-electro haven of Schematic Records. Based in Atlanta, Devine's productions have the rigid breakbeat swing of prime electro recordings, but also a high degree of DSP (digital signal processing) magic in keeping with Schematic's acknowledged heroes, Autechre. After EPs for a sublabel of Woody McBride's Drop Bass Network and the Devine EP on Schematic, the producer began getting a reputation in advanced electronics circles with remixes (of material by Aphex Twin, Chris Deluca, Slicker, and Schematic's own Phoenecia) as well as compilation appearances (Ischemic Folks and Lily of the Valley, both on Schematic). Turned on to Devine's work by praise from Autechre and his remix of Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy," Britain's Warp Records hired him in 2000 to record a full-length. The results, Lipswitch, were jointly released one year later by Schematic and Warp. ~ John Bush, Rovi

This freaked me out! This isn't fake. Apparently if you copy and paste this on ten comments you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out. If you break the chain you will see a dead girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I'm sorry (;-;)
Strange, how every other electronic artist uses DSP but it's only ever mentioned in connection with Devine. That isn't really fair to his music, which is about so many other things. My theory's that, because Devine talked in a few interviews about powering intensive DSP with his multiple-com p u t e r setup, a few critics read those bits and pigeonholed him from then on.
Come to daddy can be found on ddalton's link below for groveshark, or on rhapsody under aphex twin's singles/comp i l a t e i o n s . its on a warp compilation.
I wouldnt have found devine had that come to daddy not blown my mind away, accidenteall y in a aphex twin binge.

lady gaga meat dress Page 1
Lady Gaga Brings Back The Meat Dress For Tokyo Concert
Lady Gaga wore a meat dress during a concert in Tokyo this weekend, and it looked good! It helps that the dress probably wasn't made from real meat.
What's Yummier Than Chanel? Chanel Sausages
It's been a while since meat broke into the fashion scene with Lady Gaga's raw-some meat dress, and here's its long-awaited comeback. Linus Morales directed meat from all cuts of life — along with a lone slice of bread — in his Fabulous Food series featured on TrendLand. Sausages posed to mimic the Chanel logo, a Gucci-branded T-Bone, Fendi fishsticks, and a Louis Vuitton bread slice, this food is nothing short of fabulous.
Whatever Happened To Lady Gaga's Meat Dress?
We have to wonder if even the most dedicated little monsters aren't at least a little grossed out by this. Lady Gaga's unforgettable meat dress will be put on display today, joining Billie Holiday's fur stole and Britney Spears' VMA outfit, in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "Women Who Rock" exhibit.
WATCH: How To Make A Meat Dress Out Of Prosciutto
Why yes, Lady Gaga's meat dress is still a completely relevant piece of fashion history. Well, if it hasn't rotted by now. But it's a big deal — so big that at this point even your little sisters Barbie dolls have probably heard of it. Which is why Anna Chong, a student at the London College of Fashion, has created a miniature meat dress from Parma ham — and now, with her instructions, you can, too! (Also, afterwards you totally have an excuse to wrap something in prosciutto and fry it.)
WATCH: NYC Steakhouse Selling Their Own Meat Dress For $100K
In case Lady Gaga wasn't already in the running to be this year's most popular Halloween costume, a steakhouse in New York's Meatpacking District is jumping on the bandwagon with their very own 112-pound meat dress, complete with marrow bone necklace and headdress.
PHOTOS: Lady Gaga Wears A Dress Made Of Meat
Well, and there you have it. Lady Gaga has officially outdone herself. Last week, photos leaked of Gaga covered in nothing but meat for an alleged Vogue Hommes Japan cover. Tonight, as her third MTV Video Music Awards ensemble, Gaga wore a dress made of, you guessed it!, meat — which she paired with a "meat purse" and shoes wrapped in meat, wrapped in butcher's twine.

You can use the padding-before property: <fo:block padding-before.length="20pt" padding-before.conditionality="retain"> Block content... </fo:block> Note that you will also get the space on the first page where the block appears; You will also get the padding on *every* block, while the original poster asked only that the space be at the top of the page when a block breaks on a new page (I'm assuming because of the background image). A second concern is that your suggestion would only work if the text has no background colour, otherwise, the background colour of the text is shown, not the background colour of the parent construct (in this case the image). I find in my classroom that novice users of XSL-FO use padding where they should be using spacing because they don't see white on white problems and get into bad habits. if the block doesnâ??t have any border you can counteract that by setting a negative space-before. Contrary to space-before, padding-before, if it is set to "retain", applies to every page on which the block appears. And on every block, which I think goes beyond the requirement. But maybe what you really want can be achieved in a different way, in which case a small illustration can help us understand your need. I agree ... the original post frames the discussion around the background image of the body region, which is why I think my proposed solution being applied to the background image will have the least impact on the rest of the formatting in play.

Please do not make any healbot based Addon. in my honest opinion thistype of addon made healing a joke click-win function.
I healed a server first competent guild in progression from bc-wotlk and i HATED seeing this addon used. if you as a healer are not competent enough to cycle heals watch debuffs and keep your raid up you should NOT be healing. its that simple, a addon should not give you the ability to click for purps.
This post after a heated argument by a "healer" that was complaining about it being to hard to keep 5 people up and he use to be a raid healer that ect ect ect. you can fill in the rest simply he was unable to heal because he was crippled by the use of this type of addon. Or it augmented his inability to heal with software needs. and i am strongly against this.

So my parents have always wanted a very big say in EVERYTHING in my life and while I typically resist, eventually I end up giving in. Now that I'm planning a wedding, this seems to have escalated A LOT! I feel they are very critical of every decision we make, demand we accomodate them in every decision and they seem to make decisions on their own without asking us. They are very vocal and I haven't had a peaceful conversation about the wedding with them yet!
Although it is a small wedding (80 people), they expected to have nearly half (35) of the seats for their friends. We have 20 people in the wedding party and our immediate family, so really 35 is more than half of the 60 guest seats available, leaving only 25 for me, my FI, and my FI family. We had a big blow out about this a few weeks ago because I wanted to see their guest list and that was unacceptable to them. Eventually, (after 3 hours of yelling) I just gave in. I have no idea who those 35 people will be.
Since then I haven't had any real communication with them. They have emailed a few times about business or work they want me to take care of... and I've done everything they asked. My dad is coming to town this week and I'm really worried. I know that he will disagree or disapprove of something and I want to be able to:
1. not let it escalate
2. not give in, unless we're really okay with it.
So far, my plan is to stay calm (no yelling, tears on my part) and say thanks for your input and then do whatever we want. If we've already decided on something else, I'd let him know we've already decided X. I know it will escalate and he'll yell and insult me... that's the pattern, when he does that I give in.... so naturally he'll do what has worked in the past. What should I do when he does that?
Any advice? I'm super nervous and could use any tips..
My parents, my FI parents and we are each paying for a third. They gave us the money "no strings attached" and after we told them about the type of wedding we wanted (80 people, destination, etc). I know they deserve a say because they are helping... but they freak out every time we don't take their advice. So for example, because they want 35 people, my FFIL now has offered not to invite anybody. My parents are fine with this.
@sj8082: of they're paying 1/3.. they get to invite 1/3 of the guests... which is about 26-27.
If I were in your shoes Id give the money back because clearly strings Are attached to it.. then Id plan my own wedding without telling them any details and just send the invite. My parents would get over it. I love them but they will not control things in my life Im an adult.
For me no money is worth the stress of someone trying to take over and dictate MY wedding and MY life.
@sj8082: I agree with other posters that you've got to be prepared to refuse their money. Insisting on half the guest list, and then not even giving you names, that is bullying behaviour and you need to resist. But direct resisting is hard so here are a couple of thoughts:
You say: "So far, my plan is to stay calm (no yelling, tears on my part) and say thanks for your input and then do whatever we want." - good idea. I've used that a lot with my parents :)
You say: "If we've already decided on something else, I'd let him know we've already decided X." - not so good idea! Don't do tell him you're not, that will only get an argument. The way to disagree with him is to disagree while he's not there, so he can't bully you. I suggest that if you've decided something else, say thanks for your input and then "decide" when he's not there.
Another strategy, if he gets insistent, (like you say, "I'm not sure" and he says "but I need an answer now") is to give a half hearted agreement ("well... ok") and then email or phone him a few days later (when he's not in your town) saying you've changed your mind.
I think practice practice what you will say.
Then repeat it over and over again. Perhaps this will be a good time to talk to them about being an adult and having them respect your decisions. Because if they can't it's going to cause tension and cause harm to your relationship.
Stick to your guns this is YOUR wedding not your parents there reason why they should have 35 of their friends there.
oh my are we sisters? If you figure out a way to peacefully plan your wedding with them, PLEASE share the secret! I've just given up on enjoying planning and just counting down until FI and I can go back to enjoying our lives. It's put so much stress on us and our relationship :-/ We joke that if we can make it through planning a wedding, we can make it through anything!
This really seems extreme to me. I don't see any reasoning with them. Good luck.
The fact that they're ok with your FFIL paying and not inviting any guests blows me away.
@paula1248: Thanks! Great idea to hold back on the answers... my FI was also on board with that idea to give us some time to consider their request.
@MrsWBS: LOL I feel your pain... I also feel like I've given up on enjoying the process... it's more like a mission. There are things to do and so we get them done and hope not to rock the boat too much! Good luck :(
Thanks everybody for the advice...
I agree and am fully prepared to return their financial support... and have offered already. They get pissed and to be honest, I have no clue how the conversation deteriorates so drastically, but it does. At some level, they want us to keep the money because it gives them the control they want....
The guest list issue is insane... we did agree to give them 35 seats and while I felt forced, there is no way that either me or my FI would go back on our word. At least at the end of this we both want to be happy with how we acted... It might be all we have! But I am worried about the next, equally unreasonable request, that we don't want to agree to and say no. As soon as we say no, it's a problem. The tips are helpful and I'll try practicing...
The sad part is I really do like (and love) my parents... I really enjoyed their company before wedding planning. I really do hope after all this over, there is still some form of a positive friendhip left.
How about eloping? Have a celebrate our marriage party later? Have you thought about that? Invite family only to the elopement..
I would make sure you or your FI's family controls the STDs and invites - your parents seem like they might insist on sending those out and when that happens, you have NO control over who gets invited. Their guest list could grow and yours could shrink and you wouldn't even know about it until too late. Also, if you/FI's family have the invites and your parents can't get at them, then they'll have to reveal their guestlist.
One thing that might be good to remember is that you said it is a DW - if it is, your acceptance rate might go down. Some of your and FI's friends might understand getting invites after the mandatory invites go out (and you get some declines), if you explain that family invites had to be sent first.
I was kind of in the same situation. I had a very small wedding. My parents paid for 1/2 and his parents paid for 1\2. Basically the set up was that his parents were going to pay for it all then my parents would just write a cheque for 1/2 when all was said and done. (was just having a backyard wedding so it really wasn't that much)
Well In-laws believed that since they were paying for 1/2 that they would only need my opinion. They would want something that I really didn't want and after a little bit of fighting they would say "We want to give it to you as a gift". I then caved and said yes. They bought us 3 "gifts" when it was all said and done and it turns out that they still made my parents pay for 1\2. So really it wasn't a gift.
My point is. That it is not a wedding that I was happy with. The whole day bugs me because my in-laws had way too much control over the wedding. Especially on the wedding day. They figured that it was "their" event that they were hosting and the whole event was done in 5 hours. They rushed through everything and people started leaving by 7 p.m. She even told my uncle (who was our photographer) that we had to be back for supper by 4:30. So after taking out time for commuting to the site for pictures we had less than an hour for pictures. I have more pictures of the guests than the actual bridal party.
So I do understand that you are willing to settle on the guest list issue. What you have to do is draw a line somewhere and make sure that your parents are aware. They will control the wedding as long as you will let them so you need to make sure that you are prepared to stand your ground.
Good Luck! :)
Give them two options
1) they get 20 guests (this way they get 20, in-laws get 20, B&G get 40)
2) they get zero guests and you reject their money
I would probably go with option number 2 but I dont' take crap from people. I would much rather pay for my own wedding and get what I want than have someone else pay for it and hate my wedding. But that's just me. Clearly the strings that are attached with their money is causing you intense stress and is making you not even enjoy the planning process. You should tell them this and see if that bit of prospective doesn't mellow them out. If they care about you they should want you to enjoy your wedding.

Yes, I know, all the New Media Douchebags love to wax rhapsodic about their overcomplicated bullshit coffee making. At this point, I don't think Marco Arment can go from desire to coffee in under a fucking hour. However, I'd like to say something about this: every single cup of coffee I've had made via French Press has been identical.
Identically weak, watery shit. French Press is the diarrhea of coffee. It's like someone gave the coffeemaker a norovirus, and what you get is the befouled brown watery stream it produces.
I've had that shit at people's houses and at hippie fucking coffeeshops where they can't even be fucking arsed to put the espresso in the fucking cup along with that french press effluvia because...fuck if i know, they can't make espresso for shit either. (HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE WEAK ESPRESSO? I DON'T KNOW, BUT THEY DO. OVER AND FUCKING OVER.) I don't ask for much in coffee. Strong. Black. In a fucking cup. Try not to take all fucking day to make it. I'm the guy who walks into the local starbucks and says "Vente Green Eye", (three shots if you're unfamiliar), and when asked "if I want room for cream" looks at them like they're daft. Usually, they stop asking me.
I don't want my coffee to caress my tastebuds and awaken my senses with an aroma that only beans personally carried over in the cloaca of hand-fed turtledoves can produce. I am not celebrating the moments of my life.
I am feeding a fucking addiction, one that I am happy with, functional with, and god help you if I get that fucking headache because I haven't gotten enough coffee that day. (Melissa saw that headache once. I walked from my house to whataburger, because I was in too much pain to drive, and wasn't in the mood for "laws" and "stoplights". Melissa came with me to make sure I didn't start a fight with some fucking car that thought IT should be in the road where I was walking. Not the driver. The car.) I want my coffee to punch me in the face while screaming "WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU LIMP-DICKED COCKFACE!"
I'm actually rather happy with a wide range of sources. Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, Keurig, fuckit, just be strong, black, in a cup, and in my fucking hand. I could give a fuck less with one exception: that french press shit. If I hear that, I know I'm going to get fucking brown crayon water.
Fuck French Press coffee, and fuck hipster douchebags who overcomplicate everything. Life is short, coffee should be simple.

Free training workshop for new NASP instructors
AKRON, OH - Classroom teachers and other members of school communities who are interested in becoming certified National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) instructors are invited to attend a free training workshop on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009. The Basic Archery Instructor Training will take place at Norwayne High School in Creston (Wayne County) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registration is required and those who are interested should call Ken Fry, Division of Wildlife, at (330) 245-3030 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please put "NASP workshop" in the subject line. The NASP program is rapidly growing and gaining popularity among both students and educators. It was introduced into 17 Ohio schools in 2004. More than 300 Ohio schools now have teachers certified to instruct target archery. The first NASP program was launched in Kentucky in 2002. Since that date 47 U.S. states, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia have adopted it. NASP teaches target archery to elementary, middle and high school students, right in the school gym. The curriculum covers archery, safety, equipment, technique, concentration skills and self-improvement. When students are introduced to the sport of archery, the in-school educational component is only the beginning. Many NASP-participating schools then start after-school programs and archery teams.
