Bounty® has long been "the quicker picker-upper" in the hearts and minds of consumers.
Today, the brand has a fresh new attitude called "Bring it," which also reflects the attitudes of our customers, who tell us that Bounty enables them to embrace life, uninhibited by messes.
The "Bring it" spirit is also evident in our commitment to supporting the creative development of today's schoolchildren through initiatives such as the Make a Clean Difference Program, the Make-A-Messterpiece studio in Chicago, and others
In 1957, Procter & Gamble acquired Green Bay, Wisconsin-based tissue maker Charmin®, its first consumer-paper products business. One product in particular, Charmin Towels, was a single-ply towel that was engineered using a conventional papermaking process.
P&G recognized the growing demand for paper towels and began a decade of research, experimentation, and ultimately, innovation.
At the time, most paper towel brands were either promoting their "strength" or their "softness." Through research—mostly interviews —P&G discovered that what consumers really cared about was "absorbency."
With this new insight, and others, Bounty replaced Charmin Towels in the fall of 1965, and introduced a new 2-ply towel that was thicker, softer, and more absorbent than any other on the market
Since 1966, from the "Rosie" TV commercials to the "The Paper Towel Gang" videos, Bounty's advertising has helped establish the brand's reputation as the strongest, most absorbent paper towel on the market.

When Anne Frank sat down with her diary, she could never have imagined the impact her words would have on generations of readers. By the end of the 1980s, sixteen million copies of her diary had been sold worldwide, and it remains the most often read primary account of the Holocaust. On July 15, 1944, Frank writes, ''I feel the suffering of millions.'' She had no idea that her story would become the unlikely testament of those millions.
A self-described clown, Frank had no close friends with whom she could be completely open, so she invented one in the persona of "Kitty," to whom her diary entries are addressed. Although Frank's diary contains nothing of her experience at Bergen-Belsen, the concentration camp where she and her sister died, it does provide an altogether human portrait of the Jewish suffering during the Holocaust.
After the Secret Annex was invaded, the pages of Frank's diary were left scattered on the floor. Miep Gies, one of the people who had assisted the hideaways for over two years, discovered the pages and kept them safe. When Mr. Frank returned as the only survivor, Miep gave him the diary. Having just learned that Anne had died, Mr. Frank found reading the diary very painful. At the urging of his friends, he decided to publish the diary after deleting certain passages he considered unsuitable for widespread release. The Dutch version was published in 1947, and the English translation was first published in 1952 with an introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt. After Mr. Frank's death in 1980, a complete version including the previously omitted content was released as the Definitive Edition.
Although written in Europe nearly a half-century ago, Anne Frank has remained immensely popular throughout the world. Anne lives in extraordinary circumstances, but many of her feelings, frustrations, and ideas are those of ordinary teenagers. Thus, the reader is able to identify with her while learning about a unique and terrible historical event. Anne maintains a sense of humor and optimism throughout her ordeal. A powerful testimony to her courage, Anne's diary is both sobering and inspiring.

Annelies Marie Frank was born to Otto and Edith Frank on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. The year was notable, as it marked the beginning of the Great Depression in the United States and the global economic and political crises that followed. These factors would figure prominently in the worldwide turmoil leading up to World War II. When Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany in 1933, Mr. Frank had the foresight to move his family out of Germany. They settled in Amsterdam, Holland.
When Hitler's regime occupied Holland in 1940, the Franks were subjected to increasingly restrictive laws governing Jews. The political climate worsened, and in 1942 Mr. Frank converted an attic above his warehouse into living quarters for his family in the event that they would be forced into hiding. When Anne Frank's older sister, Margot, received notice to report for labor camp registration, the Franks made their move. They also welcomed the Van Pels family (the Van Daans in Anne's diary) and a dentist named Fritz Pfeffer (Mr. Dussel).
Only a few weeks before the Franks went into hiding, Anne had received a clothbound diary for her thirteenth birthday. This diary, "Kitty," soon became a confidante to whom Frank wrote constantly. Listening to the radio one day in 1944, Frank learned that after the war, there would be a collection of writings describing individual experiences during the war. Frank began to edit her diary in order to have a second version...

Anne Frank was born into a Jewish family in Frankfort-On-Main, Germany, on June 12, 1929. When she was four years old, the Nazis came to power, and her family fled to Holland. In May 1939, the Nazis arrived in Amsterdam, forcing the Frank family into hiding.
While hiding in the "Secret Annexe," the attic of a warehouse where her father had worked, Anne recorded both everyday activities and her innermost thoughts in her diary. She dreamed of becoming an author, never realizing that her diary would be read by millions. The family remained in the attic for over two years before the Nazis discovered them. Anne died of typhus in the German Bergen- Belsen concentration camp in March 1945, two months before the German Army's surrender.
After the war, her father returned to their former hiding place, where he discovered her diary and submitted it to a publisher. Translated from the Dutch in 1947, the manuscript was first published in English in 1952 and has subsequently been translated into over thirty other languages.

Part 1 Summary - The First Year
The diary opens on June 12, 1942. Frank and her family have gone into hiding to escape persecution by the Nazis, and Frank has decided that the diary she received for her thirteenth birthday will make the perfect friend and confidante. She names the diary ''Kitty,'' and explains that because she has never had a real friend to whom she could tell everything, she will create one in the persona of Kitty.
Frank writes that her family lived in Frankfurt until Mr. Frank fled to Amsterdam with his family as Nazi Germany became increasingly anti-Semitic. When the Nazis occupied Holland, Mr. Frank moved his family into the prearranged hiding place over the warehouse. The move to the hiding place was prompted by a letter to Margot, telling her to report to a reception center from which concentration camp assignments were made. Quickly and immediately, the Franks packed only a few belongings (so as not to arouse the suspicion of passersby) and wore as many of their clothes as they could so they could take up residence in the ''Secret Annex.'' Mr. Frank invited the Van Daans to come live in the hiding place, too. In all, there were seven people at first: Anne Frank, Mr. Frank, Mrs. Frank, Margot (Anne's sixteen-year-old sister), Mr. Van Daan, Mrs. Van Daan, and fifteen-year-old Peter Van Daan. Frank finds Mrs. Van Daan to be very interfering, and she finds Peter boring.
The group is able to stay abreast of current events by listening to a radio and from...

Part 2 Summary - The Second Year
Frank's problems with her mother and with Mr. Dussel continue to make her miserable, and her loneliness becomes harder to bear. In an effort to combat loneliness and to feel understood by someone, Frank strikes up a relationship with Peter. Where she once found him lazy and boring, she now finds him sweet and in need of a friend. The more Frank visits Peter in his room, the more their parents become concerned about the propriety of such visits. Mr. Frank eventually tells Anne he thinks she should stop visiting Peter so much, to which Anne responds with a letter telling her father that she is old enough to make personal decisions on her own and that her decision is to continue the relationship. When Frank sees how hurt her father is, she regrets writing the letter for a long time.
There is a short-lived romance between Frank and Peter, but Frank soon realizes that Peter is nice but not the boy of her dreams. Frank's intellectual and emotional superiority to Peter is obvious to readers. Frank is willing to be much more open with Peter than he is with her, and she is ultimately disappointed in him but optimistic that she will meet the right boy someday. Frank's passages about the lessons she has learned about love demonstrate how quickly she has matured from a chatty, energetic girl to a sensitive, self-aware young woman.
Throughout the diary, Frank discusses her friends at school, her family relationships, her hopes and dreams for the future,...

Brownstone is the result of award-winning designer Hatsumi Kuzuu's vision. Combining the expertise of the restaurant visionaries at Sameni Entertainment Group with the innovative architecture of her own imagination, she's given life to an airy, 5,000-square-foot space that crackles with convivial energy. As patrons fill the air with the din of friendly conversation or watch HD televisions from the comfort of their residential-style seating, the waitstaff ferries plates packed with forward-thinking takes on American cuisine. Juicy Angus burgers topped with fried eggs, cuts of chicken-fried steak, and delicate sea scallops seem right at home amid the din of friendly conversation. A well-stocked bar encourages diners to linger at tables on the open-air patio long after plates are cleaned, socializing while sipping on the specialty cocktails that were named some of the best in the city by reporters from Fort Worth CVB.
Dish combines vibrant nightlife with thoughtfully conceived comfort fare, which can be found on a seasonally rotating dinner menu. Warm taste buds with sharable flatbreads or tickle them with black mussels, which take up residence next to chorizo, sweet tomato, and garlic ($13). For main-course meals, the Seared Jumbo Diver sea scallops squat with poached egg, pearl couscous, roasted sweet corn, and bacon ($24), and the Cobb Martini salad tweaks convention by adding grapes to the classic concoction of blue cheese, egg, and bacon ($11). Sides include truffle fries ($6) and three-cheese mac ($6). Although this Groupon is not valid for alcohol, Dish crafts creative cocktails with fresh-squeezed juices.
Behold the breathtaking views of the city at night as you dine on a wooden patio oasis and fill your belly with cheese, bread, tomato sauce, and more cheese. Today's Groupon gets you $30 worth of eats and drinks at Bryan Street Tavern for only $15. Toast the town with one of many drinks (nine draft beers, bottled beers, wine, and mixed drinks) and take advantage of this neighborhood tavern's tasty stone-fired pizzas.
All-important opening acts include the tableside-prepared guacamole ($12 if not dining on Tuesday or Wednesday), which is freshly sliced, diced, mashed, and smelted before the salivating eyes of feasters, or the classic Nachos Amador con Langosta, topped with lobster, black-bean puree, avocado, jack cheese, roasted-tomato salsa, and jalapeño jelly ($12). Brace your buttons for a mariachi-inspired bursting with one of Trece's main entrees. Options range from the vegetarian-friendly chile relleno vegetariano stuffed with spinach, goat cheese, and pecans ($18) to the hearty 12-ounce New York strip ranchero ($32), a mesquite-grilled cut topped with dark forest mushroom, morita-chile salsa, and chorizo.
As a live DJ sends electronic beats skittering through Sushi Axiom's interior, a bartender skewers two lychee fruits for an exotic cocktail garnish. In the midst of the music and the colorful lights, Real Housewives of New York City alumna Kelly Bensimon and others have conducted meet and greets with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails. As the glamorous clientele mingles, chefs deftly slice sashimi and sample culinary traditions from across the world without finding passive-aggressive notes on the United Nations refrigerator. One recent fusion dish is the Asian jalapeño poppers, an appetizer that D magazine writer Jennifer Chininis praised for "the delicate crunch from the tempura, the heat from the sriracha, the coolness of the softened cheese.":

text: GasBuddy Blog -- Crude oil prices have fallen by $10 per barrel in the last 10 days. Why? Most people who follow oil and gasoline prices agree that several reasons explain it: a rising dollar pushes commodities lower; weak employment numbers from the U.S. Dept. of Labor reflect slow economic recovery --little change in consumer demand-- while tensions have eased between Iran and Western nations over the country's nuclear program. However, it may be premature to say that those tensions will remain muted. Last week Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak made a speech to the Foreign Press Association in Jerusalem where he said the following: "Iranian deception and lies concerning their nuclear program have been on-going and well-documented....

Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for another wonderful week at the Ed Ac at Isef. You really do a great job organising this. It is fast becoming my favourite event of the year!
Looking forward to seeing you in Bratislava. Will you attend the Ed Ac next year? We all hope so.
Keep well and enjoy your sebatical.
Karen xx
Karen, if there is anyone better than Karen Merrill, I haven't met them yet. I have had the pleasure to be involved with serveral events that Karen has put together....she truly is the best!!!
Amen to that!
Karen indeed is a very precious gem. She is such a wonderful friend and one who I can also ask for help.
Many thanks KAREN!!!!
Karen ROCKS every event she is part of! I'm thrilled she is part of the Intel Teach program. My life has been blessed because of her.
I so agree Glen. She made my experience at the summit soar. She was a comfort for me when my daughter was in the hospital from a terrible accident one year ago. This last year at the summit she was there and helped me when my flight was cancelled and I had to stay an extra night in Atlanta. She's truly caring person indeed.
Thank you Karen for such awonderful week. It has been inspiring. Hopefully I wll also see you in Bratislava. Enjoy your well earned sabatical.
Yes. Thanks for everything you did for us Karen.
yes, she is a wonderful lady. we are lucky to work with her.......
Her nickname should be "The Iron Maiden" ...never without energy or smile, even under pressure...she is what I want to grow up and be
Wow!!! Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am lucky indeed to know and host such wonderful educators.
Karen IS wonderful! In a meeting with her right now!

GC-100-12 Detection
September 19, 2012, 07:41:04 am »
I just received my < 3.0 firmware GC-100-12 and am having a rough time getting it connected. Here is my setup.
Core (eth1) 192.168.80.1 > 5 port 10/100/1000 switch > GC-100-12.
Attempt 1:
Power off and unplug network cable from GC. Shorted pins 2&7 on first serial port while power was plugged in. I got the light on sensor 1 flash, then all lights flash, then all lights off. Powered off device, attached network cables as above and powered on the GC. From orbiter I used "add GC-100" and it failed.
Attempt 2:
Concerned it was not working or my cable might be bad I grabbed a laptop and a router off the lmce network. Changed the router to 192.168.1.254 and set range of IP to 2-253. Connected GC-100-12 and noted it did not show up as a connected device. I entered 192.168.1.70 into the laptop browser and ta-da, global cache web browser! At least I know it's working. Now being the armorgnome everyone knows I tried "forcing it" by changing the network ip to .80.100, subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 80.1. I applied settings and returned it to my lmce network. Nothing... No detection, no lease given, not able to enter 80.100 into a browser and see it.
Attempt 3:
I contacted Global Cache and requested a test, repair, upgrade quote. No reply yet. I will redo the factory reset method again and look at the detection script. Perhaps even note the MAC and put that into a modified "add gc100" script though that would screw up adding other gc's if I like it and want more.
Help Request:
Add GC100 posts and wiki information goes back to the archives and often confuses me even more. Could someone who has added a pre-3.0 firmware GC-100-12 in 10.04 provide their methods? If I get it working I will get with the wiki group about updating the instructions.

seriously, why did you get a pre 3.0 firmware GC100? they have a bucketload of problems, the last of which is no dhcp.

"get a GC-100"
"a GC-100 is the supported way to do what you are trying"
eBay > GC-100-12 > sort ending soonest > buy gc-100
I didn't even know to ask about firmware. My fault obviously as its very clear in the wiki! I got it detected today however. If you read the above you will see that I told it to use 80.100. The wiki is very clear on putting its IP outside of lmce's Pluto reserved range which by default goes to 80.129.
It took an extra few steps over a 3.0+ model but I only paid $45 for it!
For anyone interested, Global Cache was very prompt with an email response and told me the cost to update firmware is set at $35 and they pay the return shipping. You must contact them first to acquire an RMA but their advertised turn around is 1 day.

Who ever knows about flaws with older firmware might want to update the wiki page, to tell people about it in uncertain terms.
If I helped you, feel free to buy me a coffee:

I have to recant my victory celebration speech over the GC-100-12. As described in some archived posts I believe I lost connectivity after going into the browser interface of the GC-100. I did this to change one of the IR inputs to sensor input. When I came back to web-admin it remained listed as IR and I was getting new errors about not being able to resolve host name with the gc-100 that I was not getting before I went to the browser interface.
From the descriptions of problems noted back in the archive information it seems you had to be really specific about how you wanted to set baud rates, IR vs Sensor jacks etc before you connected the device to lmce. I am going to attempt to connect to it again after changing some settings and then leave it alone to see if it stays on my network.
Two alternatives still remain.
Put the gc-100-12 on my external network and access it like I have done before with samba shares and IP cameras.
Pay the $35 plus shipping one way to send the unit in for a firmware update.

I finally was able to configure my gc-100 without sending it back to Global Cache, by closely following the instructions on the wiki article about adding the MAC to my perl script. Here is my basis for believing I have it working:
After I factory reset, I then navigate to its default browser and configure IR ports to be sensors or IR
When I do the command "get gc100" LMCE finds it and adds it with children matching what I selected prior (ie. its getting info from the gc100 before adding it and children)
No errors starting it in dcerouter log, no errors at all other than no event handlers set for devices not yet attached
Two serial ports have been added to my available comm port on pc
Now I have the frustration of a unit that appears to work fine but sits there on my network and doesn't actually do anything. I have tried setting the sensors as normally open, n.closed, input, output, both input and output, child of gc100, child of the sensor port (4:1) and no matter what I try I see DEVICE STATUS: NORMAL. Please follow my logic below and correct any bad logic on my part:
not either serial port
devices 3:1 - 3:3 are relays so I cant use those as a doorbell
devices 4:1 & 4:2 are Generic Input Output Sensors -
4:1 has a 3.5 jack going to a normally closed contact switch, 4:2 is a 3.5 jack with wires spread until I solder another button
devices 4:3 & 5:1 - 5:3 are IR so I cant use those as a doorbell
In device tree I select Generic Input Output Sensor (4:1) under gc100
I set "input,output,both" to both because I don't know from which angle it is asking the question. Does it receive input? Does it report to the gc100 output? This part is confusing
I see that there is an option to set the normal state from normally open to normally close but it specifically states "if the device supports input"
Web-Admin>Security>add device> add doorbell
LMCE automatically assumes this will be controlled by Zwave so I have to change controlled by field to say Generic Input Output Sensor (4:1)
I use the same settings for the doorbell which is now a child of 4:1 and reload router
Device Status reads NORMAL for all devices associated
Pressing my button does nothing, and when pressed I see no activity on the gc100
My switch however shows constant activity on that port so I have to assume something is being discussed between lmce and my device?
I noticed that Global Cache sells a "contact closure sensor" to use when you want a contact to communicate with the gc-100, is this what other users are getting to make sensors work? Alternatively I used a 3.5mm mono jack (one black stripe) and separated the wires to connect my button, should I use a stereo plug?
Thus far after reading everything I can about the gc100 on our wiki, our forums and their website I can not answer the question "what good is it?" despite everyone praising it. I do not control anything in my home via IR and can not think of any device I would want to buy emitters for just to say I am. (Though I do have a usb-uirt for learning my device codes so I can share template information) I have unused serial ports on 3 media directors and my core already. Basically I bought this gc100 so that I could have a doorbell... it may seem silly but after a thread entitled "doorbell... please help" the gc-100 was offered as an easy solution.
Please, I ask everyone who has/is using a gc100, what are you using it for? How is it set up in web-admin? What can it do?

Make sure in your GC-100's web config that the ports are configured as "Sensor
with Auto-Notify
The default config in web admin otherwise worked for me. Input/output field should be setup as an input, but mine's blank and works fine. Tail the gc-100 device's log in /var/log/pluto and you should see activity during button presses. You don't need the input hardware module, but I think it does debouncing to prevent multiple triggers.
What do I use my GC-100 for?
Sensor inputs connect to: doorbell and all the security devices my house had (probably installed in the 80s) when I bought it, including motion detectors, window/door sensors.
Relays connect to:
-door chime x 2, one triggers during door presses, the other triggers on alarm system armimg countdown once per second.
-alarm siren
(if I had one more I'd connect my garage door opener to it)

I am afraid I have to admit to another frustration posting. Just after posting this and going back over the details again I noticed that the diagrams from Global Cache indicate power coming into the sensor jacks, and they were stereo jacks so I was missing two important bits.
I did some digging around my parts bins and came up with a wall wart (AC to DC adapter), an couple old stereo headphone sets and
'sorry the name escapes me, non-twisted non-braided ethernet cable'
and a computer case lead momentary contact switch. I tossed together a couple foot long power-on-press cable that would deliver 3v @ 0.7A when the button was pressed and cut out when released. I believe everyone in IRC chat new that I had succeeded before I could even type a coherent sentence. My experiment worked and I could see the sensor light and ethernet port light up after a press. I have some work ahead of me with getting LMCE to understand my device however as once hit once each sensor goes into "Tripped" state still and does not go back to 'Normal' without a quick-reload. I don't see a setting for delay anywhere like X10 devices have so I will have to spend some time there.
Fortunately during my last few wiring runs I added extra cable from our server room (which we affectionately refer to as the data-center) so with a few exceptions for out of the way desired contact locations I am ready to get creative. Below are a few of my ideas:
Replace some of my wiring cabinet cat5 patch panels with 10" telephone patch panels. I will be sending power over some of these sensor lines and I don't want any mix-ups.
Doorbell - Leave the battery powered unit at the gate and pull my active sensor line off of the chime indoors. We have already converted it from C batteries to a wall wart so it shouldn't be hard to pull a signal from there. Possibly add a second doorbell and chime so that visitors can ring Tehbard or me independently,
X10 motion and camera floodlight, currently working without a X10 network as a simple flood light whenever there is motion. If I can get a line up to it's wire from sensor to socket I am sure Tehbard can parasite enough off that 110V to get us a signal. Using gc100 to do X10 a new way!
Manometer/Pressure Differential sensor. I have been looking at ways I can improve my core rack's cooling system and add some automation to its ducts with sensors, smart fans, actuators etc. My system relies on a large variable speed squirrel-cage at the far end of the exhaust port to create a negative pressure space back through the ducts to the rack enclosure. Ideally a pressure differential sensor will make sure the exhaust stays just ahead of what the rack devices are pushing and the entire enclosure will only draw the fresh air it needs slowly and through filtration.
"Follow-Me" buttons. I found momentary contact switches in standard decorator style wall plate insert sizes. They look just like the switches they are next to in multiple gang outlets but when pressed they instantly pop back out with an audible click. I don't think I can tie the follow-me feature directly into a response to event but I can surely figure out a way to update current room and resume current media. I am wiring one in my bedroom wall now so I can set up orbiter-less methods for activating mood lighting/music etc.
Full House IR Blast? I read a blog about a guy who with repeated splicing, was able to wire all of the IR devices in his home to a single USB-UIRT. The principle was that if you blast a command at every device, only the device that understand that code would respond. Perhaps he got lucky with no devices sharing codes but knowing there is enough energy to fire 20 emitters off an IR port is impressive. I know that a USB-UIRT's built in emitter can control multiple devices in a single location, I do not see why a gc100 IR output can not be told to send commands for 5-10 devices as well...
Basically anything that does something (with electricity) I can leach and respond to with creative wiring. This is why I was curious and still am curious about what other users have come up with for sensors.

Note that you shouldn't need to feed power into the GC-100's sensor inputs. Of the 3 pins, i think one is ground, one supplies 5v, and the other is the sensor input. If you short the sensor input to ground it should trigger the input. You shouldn't need any external supply.
That said, my doorbell has a light in it, and requires 16V across it for the light to operate, so I had to build a small circuit to handle this and feed TTL to the GC-100's input.

Interesting, thank you. From the GC-100 manual I interpreted the drawing to mean that the +5v power came in on the very bottom of the plug and was for IR only. This would have explained why a mono 3.5" plug would not close the connection and trigger a tripped sensor. When I went to a stereo plug where I supplied power to the middle band I was able to get a sensor tripped. Having the +5v come from the gc-100 itself would be much much easier and open up even more options for me since that allows me to use ice-cube relays which will close a contact and register back at the gc-100.
I will do some experimenting, thank you.

I wonder how he would react if you did not reply or answer your phone Sir? I had an interesting day myself. My aunt who has just recently undergone hip surgery is back in the hospital with an infection that is not going away. She will probably have to have the hip redone if the condition does not subside.
Her husband suffered a minor stroke last evening and was taken to the other hospital in their town. Well the paperwork to get her a temporary release was daunting and had to agree to transport her by ambulance. It would have been cheaper to transport her in a helicopter the 7 miles. Three hours later we were able to see him and speak to the neurologist. He is going to be fine. I downloaded a siren MP3 and played it through the car stereo as I sneaked her in the back door of her hospital. Life goes on. Enjoy the week.

I was invited back to Cologne, Germany to paint the facade of a youth center. Instead of sketching out my own letters I asked the kids at the center to hand write the phrase 'You Got My Back' and I then took one of their letter styles and painted it large onto the wall with my own colors and extra touches. It was a challenge to reproduce someone else's handwriting on such a scale, especially a style as irregular as that of a child. The focus of the piece is on showing the value of something handwritten, even if it's the handwriting of a child that people might dismiss as messy or useless. In these letters I saw experimentation and innocence. This also gives the kids some ownership over the piece and the building itself says to them that they are what's supporting it.
After looking through 40-50 samples I chose this one. The unexpected combinations of capital and lower case letters, the parts in cursive, and then finally those loops on the 'k' were what made this one the winner for me.
After I finished writing my letters the kids wrote their own letters to me, DANKE RIPO (Thanks Ripo).
Big thanks to Georg and CityLeaks Festival.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Marriage-equality supporters are looking to the new legislative session as their next best hope for Illinois to legalize same-sex marriage.
Supporters had hoped lawmakers would act before the lame-duck session ends Jan. 9.
A Senate committee voted in favor of a measure to allow gay marriage Thursday. But Senate Democrats delayed a floor vote because three supporters needed for passage were absent.
Sen. Heather Steans, the bill's sponsor, said a full Senate vote is possible Tuesday. But Senate President John Cullerton said it might be a few weeks.
Opponents, including a group of religious leaders, say the bill is an attack on their religious beliefs.

Having to go into "ignoring-people-mode" a lot lately
October 28, 2010, 02:33:00 AM »
I'm sure some of you live in a similar FT habitat as me = one of a dozen or less foreigners occupying a small, untouristed city, in the middle of China. This has many blessings, such as feeling like you really ARE living in another country, and not like you're living in Bakersfield, as a friend said of Chiangmai after living there for a couple years. I always need to speak Chinese, gesture and gesticulate, mime, and otherwise compromise my dignity and muddle through the simplest things (like returning a defective heat blanket yesterday).
It's all good, but then lately there's been a rise in that kind of borderline friendly/mocking attention I get when I so much as leave my apartment. Many people can't control themselves and must utter "Lao Wai" or "Wai guo ren" or "Ying guo ren" or "Mei guo ren" if they see me. Many are stopped in their tracks and must stare, even if I look back and they're unselfconsciously picking their noses. This is all normal. I'm more or less used to it.
But lately it's as if the locals have become more emboldened, and less friendly about it all. If there's a crowd of boys, and there are lots of them because there are schools everywhere here, I can be absolutely positive they will all start yelling, "HelloooOOoo. Hu-low. What's your name?" at me. But now these are more frequently being peppered with the attention-getting, "Fuck you," "fuck," "fuck me," or if they're really bold, "Fuck your mother!"
There's just no way around it, they're being rude. I know they just want my attention, to be cool amongst their friends, and for me to think they're cool. They want to impress me, because I'm a dude and Western. But, there are times when my skin is not so thick, like the other day when I was going to the print shop on campus to make copies for my classes, and some boys (think they might have been from a local hair salon) started in with the whole, "Hello-what's your name-where you from" banter, but then one made the mistake of adding, "Fuck you!"
For the first time in years, I actually lost my shit – maybe because I don't want to be a target on campus – turned tail, grabbed the guy by the shirt, and gave him an impromptu short lecture about not telling a teacher, "fuck you" in the university. I tried to make it unpleasant enough that it wouldn't actually be encouragement, via attention, for more of the same treatment.
Since that time I've been trying to NOT lose my shit again, because, well, my record was pretty good up until then, and who wants to backslide? Usually I'll make funny comments back, like, "Zhonguo ren" or "Wo bu shi wai guo ren, wo shi wai xing ren," or make silly faces which get them laughing. Whatever. But lately, maybe since the nationalist strings have been plucked with the discord with Japan, and the US VS. THEM mentality has been fueled, things have shaded from mildly irking to pretty damned annoying.
I've been in bigger cities like Kunming or Chengdu or Xi'an, and even smaller ones that actually get tourists, and the "lao wai" stuff there is so minimal it's nothing. But, my city, which is the epicenter of spitting in the known universe, is also the worse place I've even been for "lao wai" attention. That said it's been pretty bearable until recently.
I got two "fuck yous" in one day. Used to be less than one a month or two or three or more. And it was more than 6 fuck-related comments within a week, two on the university.
So now I've gone into aforementioned "ignoring people mode." It consists of not looking at people who are blatantly staring at me, taking pictures with their cell phones… I wear headphones so people can understand I can't hear jeers. If people are trying to look at me I look interested in something in the other direction, or at my cell phone.
Of course, if little girls in pig tails follow me screaming "Lao Wai," well, they can pretty much get away with anything.
Anyway, point is, while I'm pretty tolerant of really an abundance of "lao Wai" crap, lately it's reached a fever pitch and I've had to go into a defensive mode where I have to avoid being not only the object of attention, but an actual target for ridicule. Hopefully this will blow over so I can go back to being a bit more interactive and less a walking sculpture.
suddenly it become more of a statement to NOT have a tattoo…

Wow! Other than the roving packs of primary school girls, I've never encountered anything hostile like that. I do get a lot of assorted stage whispers of all the terms for foreigner, but those seem more curious than hostile. In terms of unprovoked and completely deliberate rudeness from Chinese, I had one middle school boy on a bus flip me off one time when I was next to the bus at a traffic light.
For the cute little girls, work out some places where you can round a corner and duck into a shop. Let them pass and then step out behind them pointing and calling "Zhonggua ren". They'll either flee in terror (if so, follow for a few blocks) or become your biggest fans.
For the "fu**" crowd, I'd recommend figuring out the Chinese for something like "I only like girls. Get someone else to bang your ass if that's what you enjoy. Do your parents know that you are gay?" If one says "Fu** your mother", pretend to misunderstand and say "Your mother really wants me to fu** her? What's your mother's phone number?"
If you want to get REALLY nasty with anyone trying to tie you to the current round of anti-Japanese sentiment, ask him if only one or both of his grandfathers were Japanese soldiers. Ask him how long he's been spying for Japan, loudly enough so that others can hear it.
If you want to be a little less nasty on that front, remind the dolts that the US won that war for them.

I think when people are telling you "fuck you" it is hostile and rude and you're perfectly justified in not being polite in return. They need to understand that no matter what language you use, if you say those sorts of things to people (and they do know what fuck you and the rest mean, they watch movies) the response will be predictable. I don't go around saying "wo cao ni ma" to Chinese people unless they've done something to tick me off and if a Chinese person says "fuck you" to me then I assume they've got a problem with me.
I don't think it is a recent thing though. Many years ago in Kunming I remember stepping off the bus and getting a "fuck you!" from this random peasant looking guy who probably didn't know any other words of English besides that and hello. And while Kunming might be a better place for the hello treatment than Random 2nd/3rd Tier Chinese City, it is still far far far more wary and suspicious of outsiders than a place like Beijing. I almost never get hello'd in Beijing and if I do then 9 times out of 10 it is an out of town loser (same with people who push on the subway escalators). You're right though, the less exposure the loser has had to foreigners the more likely they are to be the helloing type. In general, not just in China, people with more actual exposure to foreign cultures tend to be less xenophobic, not surprisingly.
I think The Ignore is the best tactic for dealing with these sorts of people in general. I'm firmly in the camp that thinks it isn't cute to randomly yell at people in languages you don't speak, no matter whether your intentions were malicious or not. Notice how hello'ers are almost always men if they're above the age of like 10. You don't get guys with suits and briefcases yelling hello at you, or university professors, or artists. The spilling over into aggressive fuck yous is, in my opinion, just an extension of the original sentiment behind the hello in the first place, so it doesn't surprise me that as general knowledge of English is expanding the idiots are being bolder and using fouler language to heckle foreigners. If you ignore these people you deny them the attention that they're craving, their attempt at getting a rise or reaction out of the foreigner will be a fail, and they might not bother to try again. If you react (even though I think you're perfectly within your rights to for a fuck you) then they know exactly how to get a rise out of the foreigner and may do it again. Plus, the more I react to these sorts of things the more likely something is to happen that will really ruin my day. Just walk on by and don't give them a second thought.
People who want to make friends with you or even just want to impress you will try and start a conversation with you that doesn't involve obscenities or yelling. People who can't handle that don't deserve your attention.

Reacting angrily is usually not worth it and just feeds the troll anyway.
In a crowded place you might to try shaking your head in disappointment and saying something like
中国人没有礼貌. Zhōngguórén méiyǒu lǐmào. Chinese people have no manners.
This is very embarrassing for them. Remember the group mentality, what one does is what the group does.

Right now Japan vs China is probably helping people be interested in outer worldly things. That is, questions of foreignness and Chineseness are currently highish on the public agenda of people who have little else to do in their day. So, punks are noticing foreigners and announcing your lack of in-group position (aka they're reinforcing their identity using the cultural tools and such environment as they have to hand).
"Fuck you"s I don't mind so much. They're just not aggressive. Well, maybe they are, but "fuck you" delivered with a snigger hardly registers as threatening on my western-trained interpretive scale.
What's been bugging me recently is "Hey, man." Who's been teaching the greeting "Hey, man"? Chinese actually do deliver it appropriately, directed to the face, from the front, with the correct intonation and pronunciation. It bugs me though because there is that one little thing missing, the cultural element, that "Hey, man" is a
greeting, delivered between people who know each other or are on some common task together. (Seems to me). I got three Hey, mans the other day. The first one I laughed at because it seemed so inappropriate. The second on was annoying because it was some kid, and I'm too old to be some kid's Hey man. The third one I forget, maybe I was just tired of it by then.
I find in general that when people single me out in public for some kind of inappropriate attention, I resent it more if I have to put effort into pretending it isn't happening. I find it far easier to take a look at the offenders, note their position, what they look like, how they're related to the landscape, and just cruise on by, no smile, no frown, no personal interaction, just observation. It amounts to ignoring them without having to put on the whole "I'm ignoring you SOOOO much" act.

The downside of taking a look at the scene is frequently the gentle souls who uttered the exciting English words change character, often moving into a more formally friendly posture, and then you have choose whether to interact or continue with the cold shoulder.
But I still like taking a look. If nothing else, it lets one start making more objective assessments of who's who. Like, I'm sure there is a seedy underworld in China, and if you knew where and how to look, you could probably see it in some form on every street corner, and that's more interesting than being insulted by punks.
The other side of that is being aware of when culture shock is taking its toll on your own self and when you do legitimately need a rest from being around weirdness 24/7.

china is an ignorant racist country, of course they resent you since you can make twice their salary just for being born where you were, you are profitting from their racism
ask even educated adults about the japanese or koreans and they will spout prodigiouly ignorant rubbish unless they know japanese and koreans. the government encourages it....
i come from newcastle in england and back home instead of 'hello. i love you' etc the young men will ask me aggresively for cigarettes and money. so even tho china is annoying, at least it's not home

Personally, my stance has been to ALWAYS ignore "hellos." Even when I'm on campus I ignore them (my students know my name and will say it out loud to get my attention.)
i also live in a small city with just a handful of foreigners and get stared and "hello'd" to a dizzying degree. Ignoring has worked out to be the best tactic.
Actually at my school there are 10 foreign teachers and 20 Ukranian students. Many of the Ukrains don't speak much English and I was wondering how annoying it must be for them. Since they are fair skinned and blond, a lot of people must approach them (as they do me) and ask to be friends to "practice their english." I wonder how they handle it?

Conclusion: ignoring it was the best policy.
You kind of got it! Hard as it is, that is a pretty good policy. Most of the behaviours are not too different to the immature attention-seeking behaviours of some young people back home.
You can ignore it by not responding but I am not sure if anyone can ignore it in terms of not letting it affect them emotionally.
My best policy? I usually find that rather than stand off a situation like that I wander over and am nice and pleasant - and they are the same in return. It is all over in minutes and I can get on with life as I want it.
I have my standards. They may be low, but I have them.

Looked like I was using chopsticks. Now THAT'S hilarious. Imagine a foreigner using chopsticks.
We were on a long bus trip going to Xi'an and we got stuck in some major traffic, like engine off for hours type traffic, and all the guys got off and peed on the side of the road. My husband went too, but all the other guys were staring at him so much he lost all his nerve, zipped up his fly and ran back into the bus. We joked that they were thinking, "Hey, I wonder if the laowei pisses like us. Do you think he has a dick too? Let's all look!" I mean seriously, sometimes they look at us like we are aliens!

For some reason I am reminded of this recent article:
Chinese military men, from the soldiers and platoon captains all the way up to the army commanders, were always taught that America would be their enemy
I wonder if this kind of nationalism would ever spread outside the military? I can see it in the USA, where the average schmo would consider arab/muslim = bad guys. But, I am not sure if this kind of sentiment would ever occur in China other than towards the Japanese.

I have noticed that my American friends are more likely to respond to a gratuitous 'helloo' than anyone else.
I do not know why.
I know that they will often turn around and make an issue out of what they see as insulting behaviour. I have then had to find ways of extricating them from what I see as a dumb situation.
New Zealanders (and maybe Aussies) are used to greeting anyone and everyone in the street whether we we know them or not. Something to do with being a small country with a small population I guess. I just reply in kind to any greeting.
My Chinese gf still finds it weird that I say 'hello' (or nod)to anyone who looks at me in the street.
It means I get to greet people 1000 times a day and at times I feel like switching off but I guess I am pretty conditioned. Going up stairs to class at the beginning of a break can be challenging and must sound like something out of a Greek chorus.
I have found that some English people are rather reserved in public. I was sitting alone in a small cafe when a 'European' came in. I said 'hello' and there was no response - even though he was standing only a metre away. In the end I asked him (in my best colonial, rough-as-guts, manner) if he could speak English. 'Of course I can - I am English,' was the reply.We went on to become good friends.
Another English friend, from south England, explained that he too would have ignored me as it is not their custom to talk to strangers.
These, of course, are generalisations. If you are an exception to the rule I hope you can accept them as such.
I share Kitano's concern with dealing with 'bludgers' in the street back home. In New Zealand it is guys aggresively asking for cigarettes; in Sydney, Australia it is girls asking for money 'for the bus fare home.' They usually do not take no for an answer.
To handle that I tell the guys to 'piss off'. I tell the girls I am happy to to give them the bus fare in exchange for sex. It seems to work - they go away.
I have my standards. They may be low, but I have them.

The Web is full of tricksters. One 2008 study found that 81 percent of online daters admitted to lying about their weight, height, age or a combination of the three on their profiles. The Web allows users to present their best selves to the public, and sometimes those selves are exaggerated.
However, just because the object of one's online affections isn't real doesn't mean that one's feelings aren't.
Nev Schulman, the protagonist in the 2010 documentary "Catfish," knows better than anyone about the heartbreak caused by falling for someone who doesn't exist.The movie details how he fell for a Michigan woman named Megan Faccio, who turned out to be an intricate fabrication created by a lonely wife and mother. The film, and the related TV series, has raised awareness of such hoaxes and even given the public a term with which to categorize them: "catfishing."
"Once I kind of came to terms with the reality that this daily soap opera that I was tuning into, and the long distance love affair that I was having, got canceled and everything sort of shut down, at first I was incredibly lonely," Schulman said.
"It's a double insult," said Dr. Michael Adamse, author of "Affairs of the Net: The Cybershrinks' Guide to Online Relationships." "Because on one hand it's the loss of a love object. ... There's also the humiliation attached to it, too, feeling badly about yourself. Not only have I lost somebody that was never really in love with me, but I've also been duped."
Despite what happened to Schulman, and the unlucky souls on his show who fell in love with mirages, both he and his "Catfish" co-host, Max Joseph, say that it is possible to fall in love successfully online.
"Everyone, when they meet one of us, they want to tell us that they know people who have been in online relationships and half the time the stories are really positive," Joseph said. "They have really happy endings."
The trick, they said, is to be smart about your online love affair before getting in too deep.
To have and to hold
All the couples interviewed for this story have one integral thing in common: Each and every one of them eventually met in real life to solidify their relationship.
"If you're really starting to 'fall' for somebody, it's very important to have that IRL to see if the fantasy matches the reality," said Adamse. "Not until you're actually in a situation where you're face to face with that person, spending time with that person, will you be able to access really what that reality is."
When Jon the missionary got off that plane in Los Angeles, after flying halfway around the world, he was moments away with finding out if his fantasy matched the woman waiting for him, the one he described as "my heart in the form of a girl." The one he was so sure about that he had procured the (too-big) ring and planned to put it on her finger in the presence of family and friends.
"Everything struck me about her," he said years later, recalling that day when he stepped off the plane and into Katie's arms.
"In all reality, the thing that attracted me the most about Katie all along was her heart, which was and is incredibly beautiful. But when I saw her in person I was able to see her inner beauty radiate through her eyes and her smile. I was a goner pretty quick."

Ms d'Arbon and her team deliver the Challenge to high school students in Queensland. The Challenge was devised by the University in 2000 as a way of addressing Australia's skills shortages in the engineering fields by showing students how interesting and challenging science and engineering-related subjects can be.
The Challenge is supported across Australia by local communities through Rotary International, Engineers Australia and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.
Ms d'Arbon is travelling to Brisbane today to prepare for the next Science and Engineering Challenge.

Bought a Focus MK2 1.8 TDCi a few weeks ago. loving the car so far! for 108,000 miles it really runs brilliantly.
I have a problem which I've started noticing for a few days. Sometimes when I try to start the car in the morning it would just click, which I first think that it would be a battery issue or something, but if I try to start the car again for the second or third time it would crank and start just fine. I know its not a battery issue because I had recently fitted a brand new Bosch S5 battery due to the old one being at the end of its life.
I have also noticed that sometimes if I would get out of the car, open and close the boot, or opening and closing the drivers door and sitting back in the car, it would start up just fine.
It seems to be an intermittent issue but I cant pinpoint what it could be. I had a thought that it could be something to do with the battery inside the key fob and replaced that, but still had the issue once. It doesn't happen often, which is why it is hard to pinpoint what the issue could be. the only thing I remember doing out of the ordinary was putting some diesel injector cleaner inside the tank after filling up. Could it be an issue with the Immobiliser? Glow Plugs or Injectors?
Any help would be grateful.

When they wear out they can often fail to activate/spin (I've known people tap them with a hammer to free them off)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah It could be that the starter is gone sticky with oil and gunk which is making it hard to push the teeth into the flywheel. ill be taking it out on the weekend and giving it a good clean. ill report back
look out for iron filings too

aequus: The first easy-to-fit, non-contact sensor specifically designed for automated monitoring of system fluids for analytical instruments.
aequus allows laboratory managers to easily and automatically keep track of both solvent use and the overflow of waste solvents during the everyday running of their analytical equipment, thus protecting expensive analytical equipment as well as the results of valuable chemical analyses.
aequus addresses one of the currently unmet needs in automated laboratory management offering:
• monitoring of liquid levels regardless of liquid types
• non-contact for zero contamination of supply and waste fluids
• easy to read display providing real time information with clear warnings of fluid level limits
• Up to 12 channels for monitoring: allowing the monitoring of 6 bottles for supply and 6 for waste
• unattended network monitoring, 24-7
• simple to install, fits any instrument, any size vessel
• programmable limits linked to remote user alarms
• compact sensor fits securely on the outside of even difficult-to-reach waste and supply vessels
