"Feeling Sequimish"
Mark Couhig
Contact Mark at email@example.com
Mark Couhig has been a writer for more than 50 years.
His first experience with the written word arrived at a very early age when he was required to painstakingly hand-trace dotted lines in a notebook, a process that led first to a mastery of the straight, purely angular letters of the English alphabet. He soon turned his attention to the curved letters, exhibiting a full proficiency in that skill by the end of his seventh year.
Before another year had passed, Couhig had begun to cluster letters into meaningful compositions, an accomplishment for which he was awarded a coveted gold star, the first-ever public acknowledgement of his extraordinary aptitude with words.
In time he would take these words and strategically create further clusters, which he called "sentences."
Paragraphs soon followed.
In the third grade Couhig learned the skill of cursive writing, allowing him to greatly expand and accelerate his output.
Over the ensuing months and years Couhig's now-renown facility for dramatic narrative developed. He was able to work the delicate filigree of fiction — dramatic, purposeful action that engages the reader — to a degree that astonished Ms. Sweeney, his teacher and mentor. Of one of Couhig's early works, "Run, Tom, Run," she wrote, "I'm so proud of you."
As his facility with words grew, so too did his worldview, aided in part by his assiduous readings of "The Weekly Reader," which he continues to regard as a formative influence in his later, more mature works.
In the fifth grade, Couhig's repertoire and love of the written word translated to a sterling turn on the stage as Shepherd No. 3 in a new and dynamic dramatic reading of the Gospel According to Luke, a popular work of the time.
Approximately 50 years later Couhig moved to Sequim where he writes a blog.
And by the way, you know how every time you get on a plane there's a seat open next to you and it stays open right up till the moment the cabin door is going to shut for good, and then you see some fat guy waddling down the aisle and you wince, knowing exactly what happens next and then it does?
That guy is me. So shut up and stop complaining.
"Fathead" wrote to Ms. Aguilera to say that the "iBeats by Dr. Dre" are the best headphones he's ever owned, and I think we can take that recommendation seriously based on the fitting difficulties alone.
But that is nothing when compared to the Gluten-free solutions for healthy families! produced by NoGil, which are endorsed by "TV personality and NY Times Best Selling Author; Elisabeth Hasselbeck," who is so important she has reserved the right to demand the use of a semicolon before every mention of her name.
The Queen Essential EZ Bed, once viewed in a catalog by Elizabeth Regina herself, is said to be "Easy to open, close and adjust to just the right firmness." This is said by someone who signs himself, "Supply, NC," which certainly calls into question his objectivity.
The city of "Atlanta, GA" provides a stirring encomium for the "Comfy Couch Dog Bed," in which the magisterial "Tuddles" is pictured reclining, as dreamy as a last-days resident of an opium den.
The city of Atlanta is unrestrained in its praise, saying "...truly a quality product. I wish I could find a sofa as comfortable for myself."
We wish so too, Atlanta, but where would Valdosta sleep?
For $499 one can also purchase a "Luxury Pet Resident," replete (and who wants anything that is less than replete?) with "solid hardwood with integrated roller shades, PVC tray, and plush foam mattress," making it the most comfy and expensive cage in the world. "I wish I could find a sofa as comfortable for myself," the City of Atlanta should have said.
Dr. Arnold Ross, who is Board Certified in Podiatric Biomechanics, says his new "Gravity Defyer" shoes, which feature a "Versoshock Reverse Trampoline Sole" are "such high quality shoes, I even wear them myself."
High praise indeed. Moreover, Dr. Ross prizes your confidentiality as much as he does his feet, promising "you can try Gravity Defyer's pain relieving footwear in the privacy of your own home," thus ensuring none of those embarrassing moments that result when you find yourself drifting helplessly through the private airspace of someone else's home.
Sears, the appliance giant, is also represented with a fine line of "Lab Created Ruby & White Sapphire Pave Heart Pendants," which in less classy catalogs are less classily called plastic shiny bits.
Anyway, that brings us through page 16 or so, and I'm now growing weary. Perhaps a nap is due, or as I like to call them, a light descent into a hellish half-world into which regularly intrudes the shrill voice of our captain reminding us how pleased he and the rest of the crew are that we have placed ourselves in this predicament for their benefit.
And, of course, further punctuated by the occasional colon-trembling 500-mile-an-hour-plus adventure in bumpy air.
Would that I had purchased one of "Dr. Robert's Deluxe Self-Medicating Kits," which "Now Features a Fat and Sassy Dose of Demerol," which is "Capable of Solving All Your Problems, At Least Temporarily ™."

DePauw Opens SCAC Series with Win at Sewanee
March 27, 2009
March 27, 2009, Sewanee, Tenn. — DePauw fell behind 3-0 in the first inning, but reached the scorebook in each of the next five innings and topped Sewanee by a 10-6 score in the opener of their three-game Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference series. The Tigers improved to 12-8 overall and 3-1 in the SCAC, while Sewanee dropped to 6-13 overall and 0-5 in the conference.
Taylor Barrett led off the Sewanee first with a double and moved to third on Taylor Burns' single. Taylor Irwin followed with a single which scored Barrett. Franklin Pogue's groundout plated Burns before Trey Axe delivered a double which scored Irwin and gave the hosts a 3-0 lead.
The Tigers battled back with leadoff homers in four straight innings. Rob McPike put the Tigers on the board in the second with a leadoff homer before Sam Linette did the same in the third. Justin Weiner followed with a double and scored on Mike Stout's single to tie the game at 3-3.
Jon Newman gave the Tigers the lead as he started the fourth by going deep. Drew Holy hit a one-out double in the inning and scored on Ben Gardner's single. Taylor Hoffman made it 6-3 with a solo homer to start the fifth, while Jack Gavin drove in McPike with a single and Gavin scored on Holy's double. McPike's bases loaded groundout in the sixth scored Weiner and gave DePauw a 9-3 lead.
Pogue started the Sewanee sixth with a single and later scored on Joe Reilly's bases loaded single, but DePauw countered in the ninth with an unearned run as Chris Schenk scored when Weiner reached base on an error. Sewanee scored two in the ninth on Pogue's two-run, bases loaded single.
DePauw totaled 14 hits led by Hoffman's three and two each by Newman, Holy and Gardner. Sewanee finished with 11 hits paced by Pogue and Reilly with three each and Irwin with two.
Brad Gerlach improved to 4-2 after going eight innings and allowing just one run over his final seven frames and striking out nine in the game. Chris Mauro dropped to 1-5 with the loss.
The teams square off in a 1 p.m. CDT single game on Saturday.

My husband, daughter and I spent a week in Merida and we tried several restaurants. Rescoldos Mediterranean restaurant was by far the best food we tried in the city.

Had the Italian Sausage pizza and a soup, and both were excellent. Ordered a Coke and got the whole can, something I always appreciate. The bill came to less than 200 pesos. The host was very friendly and spoke good English. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice quiet place to enjoy delicious pizza in Merida.
Rescoldos was recommended by our hosts at the excellent Casa Del Maya B & B. After the boistrous meals in the center of Merida, we were seeking something quieter, more relaxed. We were promptly greeted at the door, and they prepared a table for two in the outside garden in front of a beautiful fountain, surrounded by twinkling white lights.... More
We were hungry for hummus and pizza. After doing a Merida Trip Advisor search, we found this restaurant, What a great place. We got there right at 6 pm which is when they open.

A good atmosphere and ambience with a nice outside area. The service was brilliant and the food was good. The pizza was not the best but the homemade ravioli were very, very good.
I know it, I wrote months ago that best pizza in MID was at Rafaello's. Well, here is the thing: while Rafaello's has a great oven pizza, Rescoldo's has also a wonderful, if not better pizza than Rafaello's with the advantage of an open patio with nice cozzi garden, and, a big plus: liquor license. This makes a huge difference... More
We had our 10th anniversary dinner at Rescoldos, the food was delicious the atmosphere was romantic and cozy.

We ate here twice during our stay in Merida. The pizzas are exactly what you would hope for, also they have a good selection of salads. The desserts were heavenly!

#MyJihad: France-based Muslims traveling to Mali to learn how to stay fit despite their busy schedules
Posted by Robert on January 7, 2013 2:45 AM
No need for anyone to be concerned. They're just going to Mali to train for jihad.
"Mali crisis paving way for militant attacks on France: judge," by John Irish for [1] Reuters, January 6:
PARIS (Reuters) - The insurgency that has seized the north of Mali is paving the way for attacks on France as more French Muslims of African origin are finding a cause in the conflict, Paris's top anti-terrorism judge warned on Sunday.As Mali's former colonial ruler, France fears al Qaeda's north African arm, AQIM, is cementing a base in the West African state that would provide a launch pad against French political and economic interests at home and abroad.
"We have a very large Malian community in France, but also from sub-Saharan Africa as a whole," Marc Trevedic said in a rare interview with weekly newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche. "These 'black' French Muslims who were suffering from latent racism from 'Arabs' have for the first time found their jihad."
Diplomatic sources have said a handful of French nationals had travelled to the Sahel region to train for Islamic jihad, or holy struggle. Trevedic said four investigations were open on what he called Malian "terrorist" cells.
"They are young, often dual nationals or who have links with sub-Saharan Africa," he said. "They get in either through Niger or Algeria, but many are Malians who can go and visit their families and don't need visas."
France has been a vocal supporter of plans for an international operation to try to wrest back northern Mali from Islamist insurgents, who hold eight French hostages in the area.
In December, the U.N. Security Council authorized a French-drafted resolution to deploy an African-led force to retrain Mali's defeated army and support an anti-insurgent mission, although no ground operations are expected until later in 2013.
"All the ingredients exist so that there are repercussions on our soil," the judge said. "France is backing those that want to intervene militarily in Timbuktu. So we are the enemy and are identified as such."
Despite past differences with Washington and London over Middle East policy, France has long been a target for Islamist militants because of its colonial record in North Africa and problems integrating its large Muslim minority.
Numbering five million, France's Muslim community is the biggest in the 27-member European Union but many are marginalized with poor job prospects in grim, violence-ridden suburbs and housing estates.
But until Mohamed Merah, a young al Qaeda-inspired gunman, killed seven people including three Jewish children in southwestern France last March, France had not suffered a major attack since 1995 when the Algerian Armed Islamic Group killed eight people and wounded dozens bombing a Paris metro station.
Trevedic said the French had to get used to the idea that terrorism was here to stay and could not be eradicated.
"We will have to accept this reality without deluding ourselves. It means we have to accept that attacks will succeed and there will be deaths."...
Yes, no need to reexamine immigration policies in light of this fact. That would be racist.

They are true to size, but when I wore them without stockings I had to use a shoe horn to put them so as not to bend down the back. They are a good wearing shoe and will have people talking, especially the heel with the slight curve in it. Makes it even more sexy...

This is the translation of the article Relive posted yesterday. See above.
One Magazine
March 1, 2007
Right after the interview started, two 7th grade girls came over and asked, Jimmy, can you give us your autograph. We love you! I smiled because I was wondering if he still had young Taiwanese fans. And he kept his same sweet and pleasant smile as if nothing could touch him. He has a smart head underneath his baby face. He started a business when he was 18. He turned to racing when his entertaining career ran into a roadblock. His racing team now ranks third in China. The idol market is brutal. Yet he spreads himself out in several areas and wont let himself run into a dead end. His smile has not been eroded by reality and is still very attractive.
Are you afraid that todays young people wont recognize you? I asked. How come?
He flashed his trademark smile which hasnt changed a bit. I felt like I was back in high school when Jimmy was the Little Whirlwind. He was as hot as Jay Chou is today.
He made a splash when he debuted at 17 and broke a lot of records. He was the youngest entertainer to perform in HungHum Coliseum in Hong Kong. After two and a half years he had to serve compulsory military service. Whats ironic is that when he was hot he thought it was just fun. But after he left the military and wanted to make a career in entertaining he was no longer hot.
When I was young everything came too fast. I thought everything was new and fun with so many people liking me. Then I thought I was mature enough and I wanted to change. I sang songs like Men are easy to cheat and tried to act cool and grow a beard. But fans didnt like it and I wondered why.
He was 22 when he left the military. He is 32 now. But I still cant image him acting cool with a beard. He looks just like a young worry-free rich guy.
When he first started out he was called Aaron Kwoks successor. Their styles were very similar. Aaron Kwok has his ups and downs. But Jimmy is more flexible. He has more options.
I think Aaron is great. He has great will power to make it through. Jimmy smiled. No matter how tough the question he will smile in return as if it is a habit. As long as he smiles any problems can be resolved.
He has many talents. When I stumbled in the entertaining business I just went into racing. I am quite talented in it. He tried too hard to prove himself that he had a serious accident during a race. His car burst into flame and he broke 3 bones in his foot.
I asked myself why this happened. Then I realized that I was too rash. I kept trying to beat others. I should have worked on basic skills first. I should be my own competitor. It is like in the entertaining business. I dont have to compete with others. And then I felt much better.
Jimmy then went to China and made a lot of ancient series like Xiao Yu'er in the Legendary Siblings and Duan Yu in Tian Long Ba Bu. Both characters are sweet and innocent like him.
He is now filming his first modern idol series, My Lucky Star in Taiwan. His character is again a young rich guy. But this rich guy is different. He is good at a lot of things. He is popular among girls. He was traumatized as a kid from his mother committing suicide in front of him. This role is something that I have never tried before. This character is a little dark. I hope I can build a different image in modern series. Jimmy knows how to package himself. This series also has racing in it. I got interested when I first read the script. I always wanted to combine acting and racing. With plentiful resources he was able to provide many super sports cars during the press conference and filming. The album he released last year also has a racing theme.
Jimmy has a business mind. He made a lot of money when he was 17. He invested the money into 7 photography studios. Then he started a software company (which is still operating well), a car dealership, his own racing team with TW$10M sponsorship each year. He also has an online shop that sells his own line of accessories. He recently opened a restaurant.
I am the kind of person who likes to dabble in everything. I was a naughty kid. I liked to touch everything even though I knew it would hurt. He was a lucky kid growing up in a wealthy family with protective parents. He gained fame at an early age and didnt run into too many obstacles.
He also can make money from his many interests. Once I find something I really like I will study it with furor. I can always turn my interests into a career. But when he talked about some troublesome clients of his software company he just shrugged as if he was letting someone else worry about it. He only cared about the fun part.
The entertaining business is just an interest now. A lot of fans have been with me for many years. I am happy that they like my work. But my accomplishment comes from racing. It is more personal. Racing is my own challenge. I am quite talented. There are no races between December and March. After that I have to race every month. If acting is for others then racing is for me. When I race I compete with others. I dont have to smile for people. I like that.
When he talked about racing he is manlier. Then we realize that he is really 32 and we are no longer high school kids.
Jimmy has no other relationships after Ruby Lin. He said, I am spending all my time on other things, so He said he is learning how to operate a boat. I have a learners permit. I want to get a real license. I also want a business license. Then I want to buy a yacht for fishing! First it is racing then it is a yacht. He has such a good life. He wants a business license. I hope he is not thinking of operating a tourist boat at the pier

This is in a car magazine in Taiwan, March 2007 issue. There is a short interview of him.
The "J" that appears in his MV last year is the most expensive "J" in history. He has 10 yrs of racing experience.

Torrent site The Pirate Bay thwarts authorities by moving operations to remote volcanic island
The Pirate Bay, one of the most popular sites for file sharing, once again thwarted authorities trying to shut it down.
After briefly disappearing because its Caribbean domain name, thepiratebay.sx, was seized by authorities, the site popped back into action on thepiratebay.ac, according to The Verge and originally reported by Torrent Freak.
The ".ac" is the country code, top-level domain of an isolated volcanic island almost 1,000 miles from the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, called Ascension Island. (Photo: Wikemedia Commons)

Backpacker Magazine – March 2010
Cross the steeps safely and avoid avalanches with these guide-approved tips.
If you're descending a rock-free slope with a safe runout, sliding down the snow is much faster (and more fun) than walking. Councell's preferred method: Sit down and slide on your feet and butt. Place one hand on your axe's head (pinkie toward the pick) and the other on the shaft at your hip. Press the spike into the snow at your side to steer and slow down. (Note: Never glissade in crampons; the points can catch in the snow and make you lose control.)
Most important of all - if you think that you need this info, be sure to get out and PRACTICE in a save spot before it is a matter of your safety! Many local climbing clubs have basic ice and snow safety training. "Think ahead to keep your head."
Beware spring melt stream tunneling under snow pack. Can fall thru "snow bridge". If shallow your wet, if deep you've got trouble.
It would be sporting to mention the hazard of loosing control of the ice ax and have the pick flailing as wildly as tho one out of control. Not that I would know. TK

mike your always saying contractors are at fault for doing cover ups but they are at the will of home owner and to do what they want , i work for a good contractor and he does things right but we good to home owners with the problems that are unforseen and do what they want due to costs
Dec 18, 2012, 09:06 AM
Having watched Holmes over the years I'd say in most cases the "contractor" was in over his head. He low-balled the bid and didn't have enough money or skills to do the job right. Probably the toughest thing for someone going into business in this industry is to figure out what to charge to win the business without losing his a-- in the process.
Some of the work I've seen by people Holmes has cleaned up after is truly wood butchery. These are guys who don't have a clue how to do the work right. That said, there are good contractors out there besides Mike Holmes.
Also, Mike doesn't read or post on this board. If you want to contact Mike go to his website. here:

PREDICTION: Republican Candidate Jerry Lewis beats Russell Pearce by 7 points in Special Elections
Monday, November 7th, 2011By DeeDee Garcia Blase
The Russell Pearce Special Elections is historic and crucial to what will set the direction of our country beginning Tuesday night, November 8, 2011. Russell Pearce sponsored the very fist anti-immigrant law via SB 1070 that sparked similar state laws across the nation. If Pearce loses tomorrow, this will decrease the anti-immigrant and anti-Latino momentum as the anti-immigrant crowd continues to get seen for their bigotry.
Here is my prediction. Republican Candidate Jerry Lewis will beat Russell Pearce by 7 points.
Right now the City of Mesa, Arizona, is divided. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) recently caught up with the Utah LDS news regarding how the Mormon or LDS church views the immigration issue. In fact, the LDS Church issued a statement for their support of the Utah Compact. The Church regards the declaration of the Utah Compact as a responsible approach to the urgent challenge of immigration reform.
In addition to the Utah LDS news catching up with the Mesa LDS community, we saw Russell Pearce experience a financial scandal via the FIESTA BOWL. He refused to answer the questions the public had of him with regard to the shady under-the-table financial dealings and what possible political perks he received with that.
When Pearce thought he was above the law with regard to the nasty financial scandal, the community started to pay attention and scrutinize him more carefully.
Next came the infamous Olivia Cortes scandal in which Russell Pearce supporters and Tea Party supporters took advantage of a fellow Latina and Mormon. Cortes by her own testimony confessed that she was not politically educated on how to run campaigns. She turned over her campaign and relied upon a Tea Party Chairman, Greg Western, where they were able to get her name on the ballot in an effort to siphon votes from Latinos.
Using Olivia Cortes was extremely frowned upon within the LDS community in Mesa, and the dirty tactics of the Pearce supporters ripped Mormon relationships further. Good members of the LDS Church were beginning to see the Tea Party and Pearce supporters' divisiveness.
Now fast forward to what occurred this past weekend before the November 8, 2011 — days before Tuesday night election day.
Russell Pearce was invited by the largest Hispanic Republican group in the nation to attend a FIRESIDE ON IMMIGRATION and the ARIZONA COMPACT debate with a fellow member of the LDS Church. Not only did Pearce not show up to the fireside in Mesa, he did not have the courtesy to respond to multiple emails and requests. In fact, a letter was hand delivered to the State Senate Capitol offices and the Security Officer ensured that Senator Pearce's office would be in receipt of it. Without Russell Pearce attending, the FIRESIDE ON IMMIGRATION discussion continued at the Mesa Public Library on November 5th, 2011, and the video can be seen here. Daryl Williams is a prominent commercial trial lawyer and he gave an attorney-like presentation with regard to why Pearce stands on the wrong side of American history. Folks like Daryl help to repair bad images that Pearce has created within the GOP and the LDS community. In fact, Daryl believes there should be no room for restrictionists and isolationists within the Party that claims to be for free markets and capitalism.
The plot thickens, as Russell Pearce supporters decide to target more Hispanic Democratic/Independent voters in a last ditch attempt to siphon more Latino votes away from Jerry Lewis. A robocall instructing Mesa voters to "protest" the Russell Pearce/Jerry Lewis Senate election has many Latinos claiming "voter deception". The robocall was blasted on ABC Phoenix News and this brought more attention to dirty election tricks by the Pearce supporters. The LDS Community continued to pay close attention to this because Pearce is one of their own.
There is a clear and consistent common denominator throughout this Russell Pearce political mess:
- Pearce refuses to address the FIESTA BOWL financial contribution(s) scandal.
- Pearce supporters have proven themselves to be the type of people that enjoy stepping on Latinos with their constant disrespect of us. It is no surprise particularly when Pearce is on record for welcoming Operation Wetback, and Hispanics are tired of being taken advantage of.
Perhaps all of this could have been avoided had Pearce not taken us back to a period that predates the Civil Rights era. We told him to avoid ethnic slurs such as "Operation Wetback", but he doesn't think the term "Wetback" is demeaning.
We cannot wait until tomorrow's results.
It's been long and grueling for many of us who have worked in front of the scenes and behind the scenes. We long for the days when Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill were both able to work across the aisle solving tough issues.
In fact, Reagan and O'Neil served as a model to break partisan gridlock.
We miss those days. Unity is the American way.
Many of us want to put partisan politics aside and fix issues, but the only way we can do that effectively is by learning how to work with each other across the aisle.
The Arizona Republic gave a good explanation in a story today with regard to how the Russell Pearce Recall and Special Elections climate evolved into what it is today. Take note because tomorrow will record an important day that will be marked down in our history books as we continue to defend that Shining City on a Hill for many of us who believe immigrants have made and will continue to make this nation great.
Then, in January, two groups launched efforts to force Pearce into a midterm recall election. One, Arizonans for Better Government, was allied with Somos Republicans, which represents Latino Republican interests.
Their reasons? Pearce's "overt disdain for the United States Constitution" and "history of action on immigration issues."
In time, that group allied itself with Citizens for a Better Arizona.
To force a recall, the organizers needed 7,756 valid petition signatures from registered voters in District 18. Few pundits gave them a chance; no Arizona lawmaker, and no Senate president anywhere in the country, had ever been recalled.
But throughout the winter and spring, Pearce's political problems mounted.
- The Senate rejected five new immigration bills that he was pushing.
- An internal investigation revealed that Pearce received $39,347 worth of trips and game tickets from the Fiesta Bowl, which was enmeshed in a scandal over political contributions and financial misconduct. As of July, Pearce had repaid $1,417, but he said the trips were necessary to help promote Arizona's football industry. <snip>On Tuesday, it ends.
After all the court action, after all the bickering over campaign signs and all the accusations and insinuations, the voters in Mesa's District 18 will have their quiet say at the ballot box.

I am basing my written essay around Safe Sex Awareness so audience are aware of diseases rather than just unwanted pregnancy. With my extended essay I am struggling on how to talk about it and also, explore and refine my ideas in the visual project and create a decent outcome. But I need to write an essay and compare advertisments i.e NHS, TBWA and United Colors of Benetton and do not know how to break it down and how to go about it.
Here is the brief...
Extended Essay
An extended piece of writing on a topic of your choice, produced in the "traditional" essay format.
This option allows you to produce a longer piece of writing about a topic that is of special interest to you and which ties in critically or contextually with your design work. The key to a successful Extended Essay is formulating a good topic and essay question.
The topic you choose does not need to be directly about your chosen design area. However, there should be a link so that the research for the Written Project informs and provides the context for your practice. The two need to be considered together. The subject of your Major Written Project might inspire, inform and/or influence your design work.
As each topic will be unique to each student there are no set contents, however, your Extended Essay should be:
- 3,500-4,000 words long
- open with an Introduction
- have several core chapters
- have a proper Conclusion
- have a full Bibliography
- have good quality illustrations, captioned and numbered.
- be fully referenced using the Harvard system.
Referencing and citation
You should use the Harvard system throughout
Please can anyone help? (No stupid answers.) Thanks.

Just write out a brainstorm and go from there.

Something that came up yesterday.
Blue has 3 infantery units in line and the form square rule. Red charges the middle unit with dragoons in line, 3 moves and only 30 inch away. The center unit forms square and succeeds. So the charge is no longer allowed.
Where does the cavalery stop. 3 inch before the square, or does it pass on the side and ends way behind the square with all the movement it has left, like shown in the Waterloo movie where they pass on all sides of the squares ?
Side questions if they pass on the side, ignore this if they have to stop in front of the square:
- do they split up to pass on both sides, and reform behind the square because they do not have enough space to pass in line (a gap of 7 inch), I once again think of the movie?
- if they pass on both sides, does the square has double traversing fire (1 on each side)?
In short how would you play this situation?

Welcome to the website of the Judicial Institute on Professionalism in the Law.
The Judicial Institute on Professionalism in the Law was created over a decade ago to join practitioners and judges in a meaningful and visible way to address what has been a continuing crisis of public confidence in the legal profession and to "promote awareness and adherence to professional values and ethical behavior by lawyers in New York State."
We have made notable progress in restoring the public's trust in the legal profession subsequent to the 1995 report issued by the blue ribbon Committee on the Profession and the Courts. Nevertheless, we are still confronted by challenges to the integrity of our profession. Public confidence in our governmental institutions is fragile. The difficult economic climate we now find ourselves navigating only amplifies the pressures on attorneys, firms, judges and the courts to resolve the gamut of social, economic and criminal issues facing our citizens. To be most effective, we, as members of the bar, must remain true to the enduring values which have made the legal profession a positive force for the public good throughout our nation's history.
Over the past decade, the Institute has pursued its mandate by exploring professionalism in the context of how law schools teach ethics, access to legal services for immigrants and new Americans, and the impact and influence of the internet on the delivery of legal services. The Institute has launched its current series of convocations focusing on the influences, pressures and biases affecting "lawyer independence" in different practice contexts.
We have an obligation to raise the profession's collective ethical conscience. Indeed, as a truly self-regulating profession, we are ever vigilant about ensuring the viability of our attorney disciplinary rules and code of judicial conduct. The Institute's mandate offers us a unique opportunity to examine, reflect, and, if need be, consider re-calibrating our ethics protocols. As we mark the Institute's ten year anniversary, I am confident that it will continue to fulfill its mission and present forums that inspire debate, promote professionalism and reinforce the common values we all share as lawyers.

To the Editor:
Much has been written about the recent gutting of California's Brown Act by the State Legislature. Reversing this misguided action will require a vigorous fight to defend our right to know. Since the 1950s the Brown Act has helped defeat secrecy, cronyism and corruption in government. Preserving it should be a high priority for all who value democracy. Still, even a full reversal will fall a stroke short unless we also exercise our responsibility to know as involved citizens in a democratic society.
Rights, like muscles, depend on regular exercise and the Brown Act kafuffle presents a stellar opportunity to commence a new fitness program. Draft a message to your county supervisors and/or city council today, urging them to make a legal commitment to uphold the Brown Act regardless of action by state legislators. Copy it to Governor Brown. Now, choose a county, city, school or special district board or a public-private agency and start paying attention. Sign up for e-mailed agendas. Attend meetings. Insist that websites include agendas, minutes and ordinances. Encourage non-profit and public boards to abide by open meeting laws and to send members to free county ethics trainings whether or not these organizations are legally bound to do so. Thank those who serve. Join them in an area that interests you. Empty seats abound. As with personal health, passivity weakens our self-governing society. The right to know was given legal protection because it is essential to participatory government. Keep your right strong. Exercise it today. One final tip: Exercise with friends to increase your odds of success.

Avoiding the Flat
While sales may be slow, flatbed printer manufacturers find new roads to success.
It is no secret that the past year has seen one of the worst economic downturns in history. Businesses are failing, unemployment rates are soaring, and hardly anybody has money to spend. So, if you're a manufacturer, the question becomes "How do I keep my clients happy and profitable while the economy around us is collapsing?" Luckily for manufacturers of wide-format flatbed printers, the versatility of the product and some emerging markets are helping the cause. But add-ons such as incentive programs, financing options, and educational courses may be the ticket to success.
Durst Dealings
With the slowdown in the overall market, Chris Howard, vice president of sales and marketing, Durst, said the printing volume demand has not grown at the rate over previous years, which of course has an effect on the need for additional printing capacity in total. Howard said the company has found that a number of clients have still invested over the past months in order to meet new customers' needs for printing capacity and capability. "Overall, the market that we serve is still finding demand," he said.
While many companies have tightened their budgets and decided not to invest in new equipment, it has become imperative for manufacturers to find ways to keep their customers happy. One of those ways is to offer incentives and/or assistance to their clients. "Our focus has continued to be on discussing production efficiency that the Rho platforms offer, which some customers find to be the right incentive to match their business needs during this economic cycle," said Howard. "We think the primary goal is to make sure that the equipment matches the business need so that it becomes a long-term, positive investment."
Another key is making sure that your clients are running their equipment as efficiently as possible. "By doing this, they cannot only lower production costs, but increase capacity for additional growth," explained Howard. "We spend time on this subject with our customers to help them maximize the investment that they have made."
One positive side effect of a down economy is that it forces companies to search for new business opportunities. "The longer print run space is a market segment that is now being tapped into with flatbed technology," said Howard. "This offers the digital print providers new growth."
Fuji Focus
Terry Mitchell, marketing director, Fujifilm Sericol USA said the current economy has reduced the demand for print, and therefore many printers who have adequate capacity, and can produce the quality expectations of their customers, are simply delaying purchases of new equipment.
"Some customers are reluctant to invest in new equipment without the assurance of having a contract for work already in hand," said Mitchell. "Although this reduces the risk related to making new payments, printers that continue to 'get by' with equipment that does not deliver the quality, or lacks the capability to produce what print buyers demand, or does not enable the printer to be price competitive, may lose jobs to competitors that do invest in new equipment." Mitchell pointed out that some customers who need to replace older, outdated equipment with new equipment are also having difficulty in securing local bank financing.
To help their customers, Fujifilm is offering delayed payments, or reduced payments for the initial finance period (first six months) to help provide an incentive to invest. "We have an in-house finance group who organize long-term financing options with external lenders at very competitive lease rates, and we also offer trade-ins where the older equipment serves as the down-payment on the new equipment and reduces the capital cost of the new equipment," explained Mitchell. "We also have the capability to bundle a customer's ink volumes into the purchase of a printer so they can best leverage their overall purchase dollars." Mitchell said several presses are bundled with software or extended contracts on ink as a "package" that offers price discounts as an incentive to invest in new equipment.

Thread: Unusually painfull things
Threaded View
Was traveling somewhere on a passenger plane. I think a change in cabin pressure cause my teeth to shift, and suddenly something was pressing on a nerve in my mouth. It lasted for maybe a half hour but I thought I would go mad. There was nothing I could do about it. Had never happened before and never happened again. Has been maybe... 10 years since?
I don't get too nervous about flying, but every time I step on a plane I'm reminded for a moment of that experience and I worry it will happen again.

This garlic bread recipe is yummy, but It's also a great remedy for coughs, lung congestion, bronchitis, colds, the flu, asthma and pneumonia.
- Press 8-10 garlic cloves and place in a bowl.
- Pour enough olive oil over the garlic mix to make it slightly thick. You don't want so much olive oil, however, that the garlic mix is very runny.
- Dip some soldiers of bread into the mix, and here you have the ultimate homemade garlic mix recipe! Enjoy!!

If you've had a heart attack, you're at risk of another. Here's what you can do to lower that risk.
If you've had a heart attack, you probably have coronary artery disease. This is the buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in your blood vessels. The good news is that you can prevent new fatty buildup in your coronary arteries and decrease your risk of another heart attack.
Adopting healthier eating habits can help to heal your heart and protect it from future trouble. It can also help you control your weight and prevent or control diabetes.
Today's heart-healthy diet isn't the bland, low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet you've probably been hearing about for years. Not all fats are bad for the heart. Some are actually good for it. And not all carbohydrates are good for your heart, your waistline or the rest of you.
Eating right isn't just about calories. What you eat is important, even if you don't need to lose weight.
A healthy diet:
No one likes to be called "overweight" or "obese." It suggests that you don't have any willpower. In fact, recent scientific discoveries show that genes play an important role in becoming overweight. While you can't do anything about your genes, you can control your weight through a combination of diet and exercise. Certain medications also may help, although they cannot do the job by themselves, and may have side effects.
If you are overweight, you are not alone. Approximately half of the adults (and a growing number of children) in the United States are overweight. But there is a difference between you and most of those people: You have heart disease, and most of them do not. That makes weight control all the more important for you.
The one-two punch for a healthy weight is, not surprisingly, a good diet and regular exercise.
You may be in no mood to exercise after the strain and stress of a heart attack. At first, exercising might be difficult, but it will definitely pay off later. Your doctor can help you to develop a suitable program to get active.
Even if you are not overweight, exercise can reduce high blood pressure, a leading cause of heart disease. Aerobic exercise, such as jogging, biking or brisk walking, at least three to five times a week for at least 30 minutes can prevent high blood pressure and improve overall health.
Smoking is very bad for your heart. It increases the development of blockages in the arteries of your heart (atherosclerosis) that lead to heart pain (angina), heart attacks and heart failure. Smoking increases the tendency of your blood to form clots that further block the flow of blood to your heart. And it may increase your risk of dangerous heart rhythms. You have heart disease, and that means you need to quit smoking.
Smokers often fear that because they have smoked for so long it's too late to get any benefit from stopping. Not so. The sooner in life a person quits smoking, the greater benefit he or she will gain. However, almost no matter how long or how heavily a person has smoked, quitting smoking reduces a smoker's risk of disease, and increases life expectancy. For example, smokers who stop smoking after a heart attack reduce their chances of a future heart attack and of dying of heart disease by 25 percent to 50 percent.
When it comes to stressful life events, heart attacks and serious medical procedures rank right near the top of the list. Heart trouble hammers home the reality that you're not going to live forever. It makes the future hazy for you and those who depend on you. It complicates relationships and work, and sometimes even the simple activities of daily life.
You can combat stress in different ways. One widely used technique is the relaxation response, developed by Harvard Medical School's Herbert Benson, M.D., who directs the Mind/Body Medical Institute in Boston. Here's how to do it:
Exercise also relieves stress. Twenty minutes or so of an activity that increases your heart rate works best. If that's not possible, a five-minute walk can help. Yoga, tai chi and even stretching also can help to calm you down.
High blood pressure is very bad for your heart. It increases the development of blockages in the arteries of your heart (atherosclerosis) that lead to heart pain (angina), heart attacks and heart failure. It also puts a strain on the heart, because it has to pump harder when blood pressure is high.
After a heart attack or heart surgery, even if your blood pressure is normal, doctors may prescribe you pills to decrease the workload on the heart. These medicines include beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers.
High levels of total cholesterol and of LDL cholesterol (called "bad cholesterol") in your blood are a risk factor for heart disease. Because you have heart disease, it is especially important that you get treatment for elevated cholesterol levels. People who do not have heart disease can lower their cholesterol by changing their diet. Because you have heart disease, your doctor will probably start you on medications, as well as recommending dietary changes.
After a heart attack or surgery, your cholesterol level may actually drop a bit. Your doctor may check your cholesterol before you leave the hospital. Some doctors will wait until you leave the hospital to determine if your cholesterol is elevated before starting you on cholesterol-lowering medicines.
Recent studies indicate that cholesterol-lowering medicines called statins may help people with heart disease even if their cholesterol levels are in the normal range. So don't be surprised if you are put on a statin.
After a heart attack, certain drugs can reduce your chance of having more heart trouble. Drugs are grouped by type or classes. The drug classes below benefit most people with heart disease. If you have had a heart attack or a procedure to open or bypass a clogged heart artery (coronary artery) and are not taking these drugs, talk to your doctor about them.
If you think you will have difficulty following through on all of the above, ask your doctor if you are eligible for a cardiac rehab program.

The qualities that I look for in a friend are, they treat others nice, not ugly, have a good heart, and are clean. I look for these qualities because I cant be friends with someone who stinks and I cant be friends with someone who is mean. I think I am a good friend because I treat people with respect.

I did not like the game. Because it wouldnt let you go back if you missed something, and whenever you started it again you had to go back through the whole game. It wasnt fun either. I would not recommend it for other classes in the future i think you should do something else with them.

'Rush Limbaugh: The Musical' coming to Second City
Rush Limbaugh is currently recovering from chest pains at a hospital in Hawaii. Those irreverent satirists at Second City Theatricals are especially invested in the radio host's rapid recovery. Come February, they plan to tweak the king of radio in "Rush Limbaugh: The Musical!"
The new show is the work of the same team who created "Rod Blagojevich Superstar!," the hugely successful theatrical spoof of the disgraced former Illinois governor. Ed Furman and TJ Shanoff penned book and score; Matt Hovde directs.
Current plans call for a February "Rush" opening at the Second City e.t.c. stage on Chicago's North Side. The show will initially play just Tuesday and Wednesday nights, but if it picks up steam, look for a quick transfer. Characters in the piece include Ann Coulter, Karl Rove and Donald Rumsfeld. Events include imagined teenage confrontations with Hilary Clinton and Barney Frank. Song spoofs draw from "Spring Awakening," "Rent" and "Wicked."
