I know businesses don't like to talk about how much sex sells. It gets awkward because the people who hate sexually explicit material are really really vocal about it.
It would be a beautiful thing if Amazon, instead of creating a fake adult filter, haphazardly implemented, would just make real filter options, so that people who don't want to see erotica, don't have to! Or they don't want to see christian fiction or mysteries or they hate books about pelicans.
Wait, I hear you cry, Amazon doesn't have an adult search! Oh, but they do! They just don't tell you about it. If you search via the main page, anything that has been flagged 'adult' will not display, unless you specifically go in to the kindle store. And the flagged books will not show up on non-flagged books also bought list, which really, is a massive disadvantage, since those lists are a huge driver of sales
As a consumer I am offended by this, because holy crap, you are hiding results without telling me! That's straight up bullshit right there. Not to mention, my buying history clearly shows that I like some delicious filthy reads.
As a writer, I'm offended because you know how to trigger the adult flag? WE HAVE NO IDEA! People are guessing, trying to find patterns. It seems like certain erotica genres (pseudoincest) are more likely to get the flag. But it's not all PI. I have a non-PI book that ended up flagged (Jukebox Jezebel) and I have no idea why. I do know that it tanked sales on that title.
And people have asked Amazon what it takes to get flagged. They just get very generic email back that says 'look at our TOS', which…says nothing about it!
Is it complaint based? Which really just leads to my plea that Amazon act like adults and just create ways to search for ALL it's customers. Moral Mary and Pervy Paula both deserve to have good shopping experiences. The technology exists to make ALL customers happy, and Amazon has the chops to figure it out.
Unless they would rather cave to the people who not only don't want to read explicit works, they want to make it difficult for other people to read them. And that makes me sad in ways I have a very hard time articulating.
Don't be that guy, Amazon.

Regarding the importance and the need of keeping the Detroit Institute of Arts open: People, in general, are aware of the tangible effects that mental and physical health have on society. The topic is studied and written about frequently, and the sorry reality of shortcomings with these issues slaps many among us in the face on a daily basis.
For many, spiritual satisfaction is fulfilled by institutional religions that speak in many different ways to the same creator. The soul, however, is more complex and perplexing -- and in that context is difficult to understand, easy to overlook, and even easier yet to neglect.
The sensibility that enriches life in ways that cannot be measured or matched by the richest of material consumption is tied to the humanities, reflected in art, music and literature. Schools eliminating art and music and the closing of libraries and museums leave hollow emptiness of who we are and what we are capable of being. The abject and lasting consequences of which is a retreat from the very definition of civilization and civility itself.
Joseph Borrajo,
The business of survival
The DIA will not go out of business if it does not get extra money from the taxpayers, but the city of Detroit might.
As long as the DIA is managed as a business entity by capable people, it will survive. I am not so sure about Detroit, however. It is managed by a bunch of elected officials.
Albert Foster
Add to endowment
The DIA erred in its request for property tax millage -- $23 million annually if approved in three counties should not go to operations, but it should go to the endowment. This way the management of the DIA remains motivated to procure funds for operations the same way it has been. It also ensures that 10 years from now the endowment can self-sustain the operations of the DIA (a quarter of a billion dollars over 10 years) without having to ask property owners for a renewal.
After all, the managers appear competent to procure the funding; they have done it for years, and they are well compensated for their work.

Gem worth supporting
My daughter and family from Houston visited the DIA last month,and were thrilled. The Patti Smith exhibit and the Rivera murals are exciting. A volunteer gave us a wonderful commentary on the Rivera murals to enrich the experience.
I hadn't been to the museum since the '70s, and was so happy to be back and see everything that has been done. It certainly rivals Chicago's art museum. More people should certainly take advantage of what a jewel we have in this state.
I can only encourage the counties that will vote on the millage to please support the museum. I'm only sorry the state dropped its support. Meanwhile, those of us who can should
Della Smith
Coldwater take out memberships.
Reasons to vote no
I recommend a "no" vote on the Aug. 7 ballot proposal. Similar to Cobo Hall, the Detroit Zoo and the proposed M1 light-rail line, Detroit again wants to maintain ownership while gaining tri-county funding support. Further, this proposal should be on the general election ballot, not the primary.
The DIA is following the lead of the Wayne County Community College. It previously put a funding proposal on the primary ballot. It was successful because the suburbs had few reasons to vote in that primary election. Disingenuous election efforts of this nature should be overwhelmingly defeated.
Richard Kudrak
Lincoln Park
Treasures to share
I lived in St. Louis about 30 years ago when that community passed a millage to support several of its cultural institutions, and in Denver when, as I remember, that community also passed such legislation. It's a no-brainer.
The DIA, the Zoo, the science museum, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History-- these are the storehouses of our art and history and science for all to share. These are the treasures that we cherish and pass to succeeding generations. These are the places where we come together as a society to share our common values. These are the places that draw people from far and wide to our city, our region.
Our treasures should be protected from the vicissitudes of politics and economy. We can't always rely on the folks with deep pockets to keep the DIA afloat.

Unable to restore mail items from exchange 2010 backup
Backup exec 2012 on stand alone server with outlook 2007 and exchange management tools installed on server.
casarray with 2 cas/hub servers and a dag with 2 mailbox servers all virtualized.
The Information store is being backed up using a dag backup 'exchdag' backing up the entire exchange information store.
The exchange server backups backup the servers minus the information store.
Backups and restores worked fine under exchange 2007 2 months ago Since then we have upgraded to Exchange 2010 on server 2008r2 but something with the exchange 2010 setup backup exec doesn't like. The backups go through fine and the data is there but when ever I try to restore to the same location, redirecting to one of the cas servers, or redirecting to a pst it fails

Go through the forum query below and see if any of it is relevant to your issue:
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
This was working under exchange 2007 on the same hardware so the only thing that has changed is the exchange setup. On that end I had added the beservice account to the Exchange Organization Administrators account.
Currently the beservice account is a member of Administrators, Backup Operators, Domain Admins, Domain Controllers, Exchange Domain Servers, Exchange Organization Administrators, Exchange Servers, Exchange Services, Exchange View-Only Administrators, and Organization Management.
I had not tried redirecting to a pst, but the beservice account has had an email address forever. I installed outlook 2007 on the server and updated it, sent mail from and to it, but the job would still fail out acting like it was trying to write to an exchange database.
I went through the above link and forwarding links that page as well and did not find anything that helped. I generally search through everthing i can before I post.
If you have support, then I'd recommend opening a support query with Symantec, and posting back (and closing the query!) if they assist you.
I have also hit the support flag, so hopefully someone from Symantec picks up on this.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Thanks for letting me know about the updates.
Do you have the Remote Agent for Windows Systems installed on all the servers in the DAG and on all the Client Access Servers? Look through this document and make sure you meet all the Exchange 2010 requirements http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO24128
Remote agent is installed on all cas and mailbox servers as well as the hyper-v host's, and the dag backup is done via the microsoft exchange database availability group server type in backup exec. The cas and mailbox servers are backed up for disaster recovery minus the microsoft information store on the cas servers since it is backed up using the dag option.
Don't know if this would be an issue or not, but most of our servers are server r2 datacenter to include exchange but the media server is 2008 sp2.
It should be ok using the R2 Datacenter servers as long as they are 2008 and 64 bit servers. Are you backing up to disc or tape?
Are you using any kind of load balancing? If you are take a look to see if this provides a solution http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH144195
If the above link doesnt help go ahead and go through the steps listed here http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH124453 to enable debugging and attach the debug logs.

Along with the majority of our customers and Field Reps, I consider companion
animals as family members. I believe that their diets should be as healthy and delicious
as our own, which is why I have dedicated my life to researching the best foods
and products for our pet kids. Although there are significant differences in nutritional
requirements and taste preferences between dogs and humans, new compelling research
published this year suggests that canine diets, and subsequent genetic profiles,
evolved in order to cohabitate with humans. More...
Some people just have a knack for attracting the affections of cats. Others, not so much. If you're in the latter category, you should definitely watch this short episode of Pet Talk, where Dr. Sarah reveals the secrets to 'cat whispering'. Joined by Alvis, her feline guest-host, our staff veterinarian presents an excellent tutorial for those interested in learning the proper way to pet a cat. Great for children or anyone with limited experience with felines.
Even though the U.S. has seen a dramatic reduction in the annual number of
dogs and cats euthanized – rates are one-quarter to one-fifth of those in
decades past – an estimated 2.7 million still fail to be adopted every year.
Given that 25-40% of rescue dogs are purebred, the need for specific-breed
advocacy is vital. Championing the merits of a particular breed not only helps
the breed in question, it also boosts the perception of all breeds. This month's
featured grant recipient has made significant inroads towards fighting canine
homelessness through their tireless advocacy on behalf of Golden Retrievers. More...
For those of you who enjoy taking your pup to parks or on trails where no leashes are required, off-leash training is an absolute must.
In the latest episode of Pet Talk, Dr. Sarah demonstrates how vocal control can direct your pup's attention squarely on you, not the oodles of distractions populating the teeming wild. It's the best way to keep you and your dog connected, even when she's leash-liberated out in the great wide open.
Additionally, untethered training could prepare you for potentially dangerous, off-leash scenarios. Say, if your dog should ever encounter a wild animal, an ill-tempered dog who's also off-lead or even a child who might inadvertently provoke aggression on your dog's part. Just being aware that your dog simply has a bit of bolt in her nature can put you ahead of the game. Not to mention, some people suffer from cynophobia (an abnormal fear of dogs). An overly enthusiastic dog, especially a large breed, could strike fear in unsuspecting hikers who don't even suffer from this particular phobia. For all of these reasons and more, training your pup to behave while off-lead could prevent events from spinning out of control.
Mastering voice control not only frees your dog literally, it liberates you, too, allowing you to have the same sort of influence as you do in the comfort of your own home. While no guarantee against trouble, teaching your pup to heed your commands is a great way to help ensure the safety of your free-roaming pup.
Moving to a new residence can be a nerve-wracking event for everyone
involved. With the average American moving 11-14 times, that's a lot of trips to
'Stressville'. Between sorting through your possessions, packing up boxes,
traveling to the new location, switching utilities and all of the other steps
that go into a move, it's easy to become frazzled at the mere prospect of all
that work. Coordinating all of these elements can prove challenging even for
folks with a knack for organization. More...
Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have been sickened in an outbreak of illnesses tied to contaminated jerky treats made in China, federal animal health officials said in an October 22nd statement. The epidemic is so severe that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is turning to vets and pet parents across the nation for help. More...
The occurrence of canine influenza is all-too-common these days. In what began with a viral infection in just eight dogs in one location less than a decade ago, the contagious disease has spread to more than half of the states across America. That's why Dr. Sarah has dedicated this episode of Pet Talk to all of the pet parents who are dealing with this particular health challenge. The disease leads to symptoms similar to the flu in humans, including coughing, fever, malaise, loss of appetite, nasal discharge and possibly even pneumonia. Sadly, some dogs can experience permanent damage to their lungs, which is why awareness of the illness is paramount.
We encourage you to watch our Staff Veterinarian's overview on canine influenza. In mere minutes, you'll learn what a flu diagnosis means for your pup, how you can prevent onset of the illness and what steps you can take to help an infected canine recover as soon as possible. Watch this month's Pet Talk episode now …
While boarding facilities are a great option for many people, some pet
parents feel more comfortable hiring a pet sitter to stay home and care for
their pet while they are away. Pet sitters and pet parents can make for a
winning combination in companion animal care, but the secrets to this
relationship are preparation and communication. If you are planning on hiring a
pet sitter, here are some tips that help ensure a seamless experience: More...
Small and medium-size rescues are the primary beneficiaries of the grants awarded by the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation. However, in times of crisis, they also bestow emergency donations of food and financial support to casualties of disaster. Thus far, victims of hurricanes, tornados and fires have all received funding and/or food donations from our non-profit. We can now add flood victims to the list of recipients who've benefitted from the foundation's generosity.
In this special video report, Dr. Sarah serves as our 'boots on the watery ground' in flood-ravaged Colorado. Our Staff Veterinarian reveals what our non-profit has done to help alleviate the suffering of pet parents who've lost their homes and most, if not all, of their possessions.
As you'll see, whole neighborhoods have been submerged or wiped off the map by the deluge, putting countless companion animals at-risk. Even now, weeks after the initial torrential rains and widescale flooding, rescue crews continue to search for missing people, dogs and cats.
Fortunately, amidst the chaos of indiscriminate destruction, Colorado residents have also been inundated with kindness from all corners of the country. Life-saving and sustaining aid pours in, including that from the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation.
We also encourage you to watch last month's episode of Pet Talk, 'Disaster Prep', which details the steps that pet mamas and papas can take now to be ready should disaster ever strike in your neighborhood.
Part of the privilege of sharing our lives with a pet kid is the emotional
bond we share with them. Even among these relationships, often there is one very
special companion animal, whether a dog, cat, bird or even a reptile, who makes
an indelible mark on our lives.
When we are faced with the loss of any pet kid, much less a truly exceptional
companion, we may be surprised to find ourselves suffering from agonizing grief.
Some people worry over the intensity of their feeling, doubting their right to
grieve so acutely. Rest assured, beloved furry, feathery or scaly companions ARE
NOT 'just animals'. This sentiment, shared by some who have chosen not to share
their lives with a pet kid, belittles your experience, so give it the credence
it deserves … none. More...

I highly regard Juan Williams' opinions on NPR, C-Span, Fox, his books ... and NPR revealed its true colors by firing him. -- "Journalistic principles" my Aunt Fannie. NPR is one of the most insidious of the partisan media outlets precisely because they are highly talented communicators ... and they hide behind a facade of impartiality. I recognize their tactics, and you can too, if you listen carefully. What is news: Anything positive about Democrat candidates or policies, anything negative about Republican candidates or policies. Also, anything negative about USA policy, business, principles, or USA's Armed Forces. What is not news: Anything positive about USA policies, military or businesses. How to cover a political campaign: Democrat candidate: pick best quote, first explain it, then air it, then explain what you just heard. Republican candidate: pick a non-sequitor quote, but criticise it before and after the quote, offering counter-arguments. This is the "ethical journalism" that NPR defended by firing the highly ethical Juan Williams.October 22 2010 at 12:04 PM Report abuse Permalink +8 rate up rate down Reply

"What lies at the nexus of Obama's targeted drone killings, his self-serving leaks, and his aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers is a president who believes himself above the law, and seems convinced that he alone has a preternatural ability to determine right from wrong."—Peter Van Buren, a 24-year veteran Foreign Service Officer at the State Department
Since the early days of our republic, we have operated under the principle that no one is above the law. As Thomas Paine observed in Common Sense, "in America, the law is king. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other." Several years later, John Adams, seeking to reinforce this important principle, declared in the Massachusetts Constitution that they were seeking to establish "a government of laws and not of men."

Santokie not injured for Super50 - Player cries foul after omission from squad
Jermaine Lannaman, Star Writer
Left-arm fast bowler Krishmar Santokie is crying foul in regard to his non-selection to Jamaica's team for this month's West Indies Cricket Board NAGICO Super50 tournament.
Santokie, one of the region's best Twenty20 bowlers, was left out of Jamaica's 14-member squad after it was revealed by chairman of selectors Wavell Hinds that he had a medical condition.
However, according to Santokie, while he has a back injury, he is fit enough to play, and that his being left out could be for other reasons.
"I will not say what I think it is as a result of; however, I just don't think it is because of injury," Santokie said.
Santokie, who was voted the most valuable player of the inaugural Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 last year, explained that he picked up a slight back injury while representing Manchester in a national one-day tournament last June.
He said the injury, however, tapered off thereafter and he was able to play the CPL in July and August.
"I had the injury right through playing in the CPL, and was treated by the medical staff of the Guyana Amazon Warriors," he said.
"I even did an MRI scan on it to see what was happening and it did not show anything."
The 29-year-old, who has represented West Indies twice, also said that following the CPL, he did not play much cricket until the national Super50 and Four-day squads were named last December.
The injury returned during training sessions and trial matches, which forced him to stop playing on a few occasions as a means of precaution.
However, Santokie said he was strong enough to bowl thereafter, which in his opinion he did well enough, even amidst an ultimatum by Hinds, during the trial matches.
"The chairman of selectors at the end of the second trial game came to me and said he received a report from the doctor saying that I should sit out the tournament," he said.
"I said to him that I spoke to Dr Mansingh a short while ago, and he did not tell me that.
"He then said he had spoken to Dr Mansingh before I spoke to Dr Mansingh.
"After that he said I am a senior player, and he was going to give me the benefit of the doubt.
"He said he wanted me to play in the last two back-to-back trial matches, and he wanted me to stay on field for 50 overs and that I should bowl 10 overs in both games.
"This was to see how well I could manage and then he will assess if I am fit enough.
"I said no problem and did exactly what was asked of me.
"I bowled in every power play and pressure situation during the two games."
Santokie said having completed his assignments, he was looking forward to being selected, only to be told by Hinds that a medical report prepared by head of the JCA medical panel, Mansingh, was not favourable.

The hunt for Gale and Peeta is over. After weeks of speculation, Lionsgate has announced that Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song") and Josh Hutcherson ("The Kids Are All Right") are heading for the big screen version of Suzanne Collins' insanely addictive series "The Hunger Games" to play male leads Gale Hawthorne and Peeta Mellark respectively, reports Hollywood Crush.
Hemsworth and Hutcherson join Oscar-nominee Jennifer Lawrence, who was chosen to play "Hunger Games" heroine Katniss Everdeen last month. Both actors expressed interest in the highly anticipated project, which will be directed by Gary Ross. Hutcherson disclosed his feelings on the character, saying: "The character is so much who I am — self deprecating, a people person. And he'd be such a great character to play!"
Meanwhile, back in January, Hemsworth had hinted to MTV that he could very well be taking on the role of the stoic, first true love of Katniss, Gale. While Hemsworth had not met with Ross at the time, he confirmed he did read the script and told us, "[It's] a really, really cool story," adding, "[It's] super dark. It's all young kids in these Hunger Games, which are crazy, insane things."

He was the veteran dispatcher of Lawrenceburg Police Department county emergency organizations and coordinator of the county's enhanced 911 system.
It was for the work he did with 911 that he was nominated.
The system was adopted just six years earlier and Breeding had personally driven every road in the county to get more detailed directions to each house.

The issue of training and re-training of teachers has always occupied a front burner in the nation's basic education sector.
A veteran teacher and administrator, Mr. Vincent Inwezerua, has inaugurated a project to re-equip his colleagues in the teaching profession, stressing that the quality of teachers will ultimately reflect in the pupils under those teachers' tutelage.
The project, which he says, is aimed at restoring the dignity of the teaching profession, is called Support and Promote Educational Excellence and Development.
The project is a leadership and empowerment training for teachers, to make them relevant in their profession and improve their delivery.
Inwezerua has supported the project with a book he wrote, entitled, Teachers on the Go. In it, he X-rays the making and qualities of a good teacher.
In an interview with our correspondent, he says his motivation is simply to promote excellence and development in education.
"I want to see a new Nigeria transformed by teachers. I was also a teacher for over 20 years and I understand the challenges my colleagues face in this profession. But we can all join hands to deliver the future called a new Nigeria. I am passionate about this project because I want a change, and I can see it coming," Inwezerua says.
The handbook lays out in the opening chapter the common fear teachers have and how they can overcome this.
It identifies fear such as feeling of insecurity about the future, daily frustration due to society's ingratitude, and embarrassment of being looked upon.
In the subsequent chapters, he discusses the essentials of a teacher which include being an architect, hope giver and role model.
An excerpt reads, "It is very important that we are aware as teachers that our job is unique. Though we may lead many pupils at a time, each of them is unique and special in their own ways. Every child is intelligent, with high level of capacity to unleash their latent potentials, but how much this becomes a reality is a function of what we do with the young people we deal with."
According to him, the SPEED project will involve teachers, school leaders, pupils, parents, government and other relevant institutions.
He explains that the project has already begun to yield positive results.
"There have been phenomenal responses. I just came back from the national conference of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools where I was invited on the platform of the book.
"Many people have made new commitments to the teaching profession courtesy of the challenge they got reading this blueprint," he says.
With a mission to reach more teachers in schools across the country, Inwezerua has continued to conduct trainings and programmes in education, leadership and management within and outside Nigeria.
He adds, "Education is indispensable to national development and teachers are critical to driving it. The quality of teachers we have will determine the quality of products we release from our schools in to the larger society."

Burning a poppy on Remembrance Day will get you arrested in Britain, as one teen is facing charges for posting one picture of a paper poppy catching fire, on Facebook.
According to a report by Kent Police, relayed by the Mirror, a 19-year-old man from Canterbury was arrested under the ominously phrased "Malicious Communications Act."
"A man is due to be interviewed by police this morning following reports that a picture of a burning poppy had been posted on a social media website.
"Officers were contacted at around 4pm yesterday and alerted to the picture, which was reportedly accompanied by an offensive comment.
"Following an investigation by Kent Police, a 19-year-old Canterbury man was arrested on suspicion of an offense under the Malicious Communications Act. He is currently in custody," the police statements reads.
The poppy is the official Remembrance day symbol in Britain, an occasion honoring all those that served in the UK armed forces and lost their lives in the line of duty.
The unnamed teenager wasn't actually burning a poppy, he was lighting fire to a paper flower, and he didn't actually get arrested for burning it, he was charged after posting the image online. Many are calling his arrest a witch hunt, as well as a violation of his basic civil rights, notably his right to free speech.
"Kent Police need to urgently release this man and drop an utterly ridiculous investigation into something that has harmed no-one. [...] It is not illegal to offend people and, however idiotic or insensitive the picture may have been, it is certainly not worthy of arrest," Big Brother Watch civil liberties advocates argue.
Another daredevil was arrested on Remembrance day-related charges yesterday, November 11. Jose Paulo Da Silveria actually attended the Bristol commemoration festivity dressed as a devil, arriving on his skateboard. He was quickly apprehended and placed into custody, not before crowds could shout "rip his head off" at officers.

Timothy Benson: Ineptitude in counting votes in St. Lucie County, elsewhere, critical problem for Florida
One issue, two views: Accuracy in voting What is your level of confidence in Florida's elections system? Not so good: Just look at ineptitude in St. Lucie County, other locales
It isn't unreasonable for those of us here on the Treasure Coast to be a bit perturbed at the way the election was handled this year in St. Lucie County. As Secretary of State Ken Detzner said to this paper's Jonathan Mattise, St. Lucie was the only county in the Sunshine State to not report its results "accurately or timely," missing both the four-day deadline for unofficial election results and the 12-day deadline for the official ones.
Also, every single one of St. Lucie County's 94 precincts reported an incorrect vote tally election night. Fifty-four Port St. Lucie precincts tallied their votes twice, while 40 Fort Pierce precincts weren't even counted.
These disconcerting facts were the main reason Detzner made St. Lucie County a stop on his "Peninsula of Misfit Election Offices Tour 2012" (look for tickets on StubHub and other secondary-market venues), along with Lee County and perennial underachievers Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.
Although my own supervisor of elections here in Martin County, Vicki Davis, and her Lee County counterpart, Sharon Harrington (both of whom are Republicans), went to bat for St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker in an article by Melissa E. Holsman, it seems evident that the woman and her team are incompetent. It simply cannot be possible that Walker is qualified for the post she holds while her organization bats .000 in doing its job. They couldn't even reach a 19 percent Mendoza Line.
And while the first law of fecal gravity determines that blame will fall on subordinates or faulty memory cards, an organization tends to take on the characteristics, and hence is an accurate reflection of, the person who runs it. St. Lucie County doesn't appear to be an outlier. A fish rots from the head down.
An article by Kelly Tyko on Nov. 7 noted that Stephanie Morgan, Walker's opponent this election cycle (and first in 20 years), was running "because she felt Walker's office lacked efficiency, organization, and training." Whatever you feel about Ms. Morgan, her critique turned out to be spot on. St. Lucie officials were inefficient, unorganized, and poorly trained. It showed on election day.
I don't doubt Davis when she says Walker "takes her job seriously" and "wants to provide the best service she can to the voters of St. Lucie County," nor do I believe there was any mendacity on her part or any attempt to swing the election away from certain candidates. Yet plenty of people try very hard at their jobs and treat them with the utmost seriousness while simultaneously being totally unsuited for them.
Walker should do the honorable thing and resign before she and her team have the chance to muff another election. After her performance this November (at a cost of $110,086 per annum, no less) she owes it to her constituents. Thirty years of ineptitude is enough. (Also, if county voters are interested, I'll perform the same job just as dismally for only $75,000, and then use the leftover funds to provide tar and feathers for the boneheads who gave the thumbs-up to the Civic Center and Digital Domain. Punch and pie will also be included. It's change you can believe in, folks.)
Here in South Florida we have a pretty awful, and well-deserved reputation, for the way we run our elections. Unfortunately, this Election Day didn't cease to provide further grist for the mill. Mattise's article has Detzner confirming that his office will produce a report on St. Lucie County by the end of January. Hopefully, it will contain some sound recommendations that either Walker or her successor can take to heart and implement.
For her sake, for the voters of St. Lucie County, and for all of us Floridians, let's pray that 2016 goes flawlessly.

How to fake your way to a pair of designer heels
from: RTÉ Fashion Blog
Over the past few years, like many Irish women, I've been secretly lusting after a pair of Christian Louboutin's, you know, the designer shoes with the gorgeous red soles. However, in these recession weary times I've come to realise that I may never own a pair – especially as they cost €500 and more! But now, cash-strapped Irish women have come up with a novel idea, creating their own designer copies by using red paint, to mimic the look of the real thing.
The craze, apparently, has seen shelves of red enamel paint stripped bare in hardware stores such as Woodies and Homebase have reported a 40 percent increase in red paint sales, with women asking salespeople how to paint on leather and rubber. As it turns out, DIY Louboutins are a lot cheaper than the real deal.
Christian Louboutin began his signature soles in the early '90s, after he painted an assistant's red nail polish on a shoe that needed some oomph. So, I reckoned that if it's good enough for the man himself – it's good enough for me. Armed with a bottle of red nail polish and a pair of boring beige shoes that I've never worn, I set out to see if I could fake of his scarlet-soled creations.
Step One : I washed the soles of the shoes and dried them off with tissue before applying the varnish.
Step Two: I painstakingly applied the varnish one coat at a time. It took three coats before the look was completed. I also used masking tape around the edges, to prevent the colour bleeding on to the soft suede.
The Result: On close inspection, it's easy to see that this is a DIY job but, once you slip them on, the effect is quite amazing. That flash of red on the sole has certainly added a bit of oomph to my boring suede shoes.
Fake or Fab? I wore them out later that night and was surprised at the amount of compliments my 'designer' heels got - though it probably helped that I was in a dark nightclub and my pals had probably quaffed a cocktail or two. However, I don't think that they'd pass for the real thing in the cold light of day.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It's a new season with a new look and perhaps new sounds.
Friday night, the 2013 Jaguars take the field at EverBank Field for the first time in the first preseason game of the year.
The cheer from the crowd, the hard hit from the hometown team: Line cook Oscar Hurst relies on the patrons he's cooking for to keep him up to speed with what's gong on with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"On a Saturday or Sunday, we're back here working and we hear the atmosphere go loud because the Jags scored a touchdown," said Oscar Hurst, a Jacksonville cook.
Hurst, a Jacksonville native and life-long Jaguars fan knows when he hears "Sweet Home Alabama," his team needs help from the crowd.
"It really gives us hope that we're going to score this touchdown," said Hurst.
But the 1970s song, written by Jacksonville's Lynyrd Skynyrd, might have played to its last crowd after the Jacksonville Jaguars DJ Chill Will tweeted Thursday, "Dear Jags fans ... Sweet Home Alabama will never be played at EverBank Field again ... that is all."
"That's the one thing people look for is the music, the beat or the words, or it just means something to them," said Jackie Johnson, a Jacksonville resident said.
According to the Jacksonville Jaguars officials, there is no definite word on whether or not the song will be played. The team's Senior Vice President, Dan Edwards told First Coast News, "I don't think we played it at all last year."

What emerges from the duo's reckoning of promises broken by Obama's "health care" law is the sense that nothing pledged to an ailing, exhausted and impoverished public is sure to be delivered.

Even as the word progressive is now ubiquitous, a perverted form of liberalism has almost completely snuffed out genuine progressivism.

After months of partisan bickering, "Obamacare" paranoia and tea-party whimsy, President Obama made the health care reform bill law on Tuesday, signing it with studied deliberation as Vice President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others from among Fox News' most beloved federal officials looked on.
Things were getting snippy on both sides of the aisle Thursday as Congress prepared for the next—and oh please, let it be the final—showdown over health care reform. Take, for example, the words of Republican Rep. Mike Pence, who told a tea-party-friendly crowd this week ... (continued)
If the politics behind the health care reform bill and the current tide of resentment against Dennis Kucinich for being the public option's last holdout leave you a bit mystified, Firedoglake's Jane Hamsher might be able to help you out, judging by this interview with Ian Masters.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich tells us why he isn't buckling under pressure to vote for the president's health care reform bill: "Every plan that's put forth by our government ends up benefiting the health insurance industry."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich tells us why he isn't buckling under pressure to vote for the president's health care reform bill ("Every plan that's put forth by our government ends up benefiting the health insurance industry").
Moneyed interests, unaccountable lawmakers and a servile press have made Washington undemocratic.
With more Senate Democrats urging Harry Reid to revive the public option and pass health care reform through budget reconciliation, the Senate majority leader said Republicans "should stop crying about reconciliation as if it's never been done before." Reid said the maneuver is used nearly every year, usually by Republicans.
Here we go again. In preparation for this week's health care summit on Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama has unveiled his own plan for reforming America's ailing system, which includes a mandate for consumers to buy insurance and doesn't include a public option.
Just pass the damn thing. If the health care bill fails, President Barack Obama's legacy could be limited to the failing war in Afghanistan. Worse yet, many thousands more Americans will die because they don't have adequate medical care.
There is broad agreement on the kinds of concessions the Senate can make to the House and still preserve the 60 votes needed for passage of a unified health care reform bill.

Meeting its Christmas Eve deadline, the Senate passed its version of the health care reform legislation that's been rankling Republicans (and even some from the left) for months now.
Hey, guess what? Politicians don't always make good on their campaign pledges—and Barack Obama is no exception, unfortunately. Although the president challenged his critics Tuesday on the subject of his campaign pledges about health care compared to the current version of reform legislation taking shape in Congress, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee begs to differ in its newly released media spot.
When all is said and done the health care reform legislation that President Obama now seems likely to sign into law, while an unlovely mess, will be remembered as a landmark accomplishment.
AP / Harry Hamburg
The Senate health care bill found 60 votes and cleared a major obstacle Monday morning. The diluted bill—which is expected to win final approval in the Senate this week—is a far cry from the public option-based draft initially proposed months ago. Nonetheless it aims to provide health coverage for 30 million who are now uninsured.
Even Droopy has his day, unfortunately. In this clip from Wednesday's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart channels some of the primal rage induced by Sen. Joe Lieberman's not-so-subtle stymieing behaviors during this week's health care reform showdown in the Senate.

Now that health care reform has been tailored to the demands of Sen. Joe Lieberman, there's real debate among progressives about whether it's worth doing at all. Howard Dean writes: "Any measure that expands private insurers' monopoly over health care and transfers millions of taxpayer dollars to private corporations is not real health-care reform." (continued)
President Barack Obama's hope of getting new health care legislation passed by Christmas may not be realized, especially if Senate Republicans, who seem intent on using whatever strategies they can to delay the vote until next year, have anything to do with it. That's not to say all Democrats are particularly thrilled with the way it's shaping up either.
AP Photo/Susan Walsh
If it didn't look like Senate Democrats were going to face some serious obstacles in passing health care reform legislation, Sen. Joe Lieberman is poised and ready to remind them, as he proved this past weekend with his ongoing rumblings to the press about joining the apparently inevitable Republican filibuster. Sen. Harry Reid and his cohort have their work cut out for them.
Those feisty progressives are at it again, running an ad against Joe Lieberman that features the actual chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman party—but what exactly is the Connecticut for Lieberman party?
President Obama's speech on Afghanistan and his subsequent jobs summit underscored why it's essential to get a health care bill done quickly.

In his powerful new book, "The Healing of America," T.R. Reid asks, "Which inequalities will society tolerate? Is it acceptable that some people are left to die because they can't see a doctor when they get sick? That question encompasses a more basic question: Is health care a human right?"
Flickr / matthewnstoller
Sen. Joseph Lieberman says he will never let any form of public option—opt-out, trigger or otherwise—through the Senate, citing budget concerns. This—despite CBO estimates showing the health reform bill reducing the deficit over 10 years—from a senator who has thrown billions at boondoggles ... (continued)
With the threat of a Republican-led filibuster looming large, Majority Leader Harry Reid is faced with the unenviable task of ushering the Senate's version of the health care reform bill through his congressional chamber. On Wednesday, Reid started his woo-a-thon with an only slightly easier audience: moderate Democrats.

Sherrod Brown and other progressive senators held a meeting Monday night with Harry Reid to let the majority leader know they don't intend to give up any more of an already weakened public option. (continued)
The fight against health care reform is being waged partly by secretive front groups such as Americans for Quality and Affordable Healthcare. While its sponsorship may be cloaked in mystery, its aims fit nicely with those of the health insurance industry.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich explains why he voted against the landmark health reform bill, which he says "continues the redistribution of wealth to Wall Street at the expense of America's manufacturing and service economies."
Barring astoundingly self-defeating behavior by Democrats, a decent bill will get to Obama's desk. Whether lawmakers are rewarded or punished for their efforts will largely be decided in the coming weeks.
AP / Susan Walsh
Fresh off a heady week in which he managed to supremely infuriate former colleagues and supporters in the Democratic Party with his filibuster talk, the ever-more-Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman gave ABC News a taste of his political plans for 2010.
Thursday's mass display of Democratic delight over the newly introduced health care reform mega-measure was countered by the sober declaration, courtesy of House Minority Leader John Boehner, that what we have here is "a bill that really is a government takeover of the health care system." Sigh.
AP / Dennis Cook
By acting on their convictions rather than their fears, the Democrats could ultimately find that the public option can be turned to their advantage for years to come.

If the point of health care reform is to do something about skyrocketing medical costs, then the House reform bill just got a little more pointless. Although the speaker and other House liberals had hoped to hitch the public option's negotiating power to Medicare's wagon ... (continued)
AP / Douglas Healey
Is there a more hypocritical figure in American politics than Joe Lieberman? The Connecticut senator declared Tuesday that he would support a filibuster of any health care reform bill that has a public option—even the version with the "trigger" compromise accepted by Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe—because it might cost money.

Now that serial opportunist Joe Lieberman is holding health care reform hostage in the Senate, we wonder whether the president regrets shielding the Connecticut independent from political retribution. (continued)
Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced that the Senate version of health care reform would include a public option with an opt-out, which would allow states to sidestep participation in the government insurance program. The White House reportedly favored a trigger instead, which is probably just a sneaky way to ... (continued)
Despite widespread public support and momentum in the House, the public option faces White House officials and conservative senators who looking to undermine it. In this plea for MoveOn, the always-insightful Robert Reich says to vote the bums out if they vote against you.
Well, that public option idea keeps creeping back to the table as Congress debates the health care conundrum, but will it stick around? Does the federal government have the right to limit executive bonuses when taxpayers hold a majority interest in the company? And is President Obama wasting his time by tangling with Fox News? So many questions this week!
NLN / Thomas Good
While the House is chugging along with what's shaping up to be a strong public option, the Senate has come up with a compromise that might make room for government insurance. Essentially, states that don't dig government-run health care wouldn't have to have it.
White House / Lawrence Jackson
The House speaker is thrilled to hear from the Congressional Budget Office that all three versions of the public option under consideration in the lower chamber would be cheaper than expected and would actually reduce the deficit over 10 years.

There may not be enough support in the Senate for a public option, as Finance Committee chair and health industry plaything Max Baucus contends, but according to a new poll, a growing majority of Americans wants one. President Obama says ...
AP / Evan Vucci
It's now clear that health care "reform" is a bonanza for the insurance companies. But these acquisitive businesses want even more. Their efforts to increase their profits are at the center of the clandestine Senate and House negotiations currently shaping the health bill.
The Bold Progressives (aka PCCC) have taken the health care fight to the home states of conservacrats Ben Nelson and Max Baucus and Republican swinger Olympia Snowe. Now the group is going after the man himself with a new public-option pressure ad.
AP / Lynne Sladky
President Barack Obama has finally put into words what everyone already knows: that insurance companies are "deceptive and dishonest" in their efforts to kill any semblance of health care reform, no matter the cost. Now let's see if he does anything with this knowledge.

Kerman, CA
Jump To:
About This Place
|Other Details
Kerman (formerly, Collis) is a city at the intersection of State Route 180 and State Route 145 in Fresno County, California, USA. The population was 13,544 at the 2010 census. Kerman is located 15 miles (24 km) west of Fresno, at an elevation of 220 feet (67 m).
Around 1891, the Southern Pacific Railroad Company constructed a new line between Tracy and Fresno. A watering tank and pump on that line was the beginning of Kerman, which was christened Collis in honor of the President of the road, Collis Potter Huntington. The first inhabitant, the caretaker of the pump and tank, kept the tank full of water for the thirsty engines with their long and lumbering trains. After some months, he resigned his job, not because of the work, he said, but because it was too lonesome and he was tired of being a hermit. He said he never saw anyone but the train crews and they were always in too big a hurry to carry on a conversation.
As a speculative venture, the old and very rich Bank of California purchased a huge tract of land in every County of California. The arid, barren land around Kerman seemed to be a good venture, so that happened to be the allotment for Fresno County.

Vatican official calls for renewed efforts against tuberculosis
Catholic World News - July 16, 2014
Speaking at a recent conference on tuberculosis sponsored by the World Health Organization and the European Respiratory Society, the president of the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers called for "more political will, more funding, more research, and more concerted efforts and resolve."
"It has been rightly observed that tuberculosis is a disease that affects most the poorest, whether in low- income countries or in high-income settings," said Archbishop Zygmunt Zimowski. "In 2012, an estimated 8.6 million cases were reported, and 1.3 million people died from tuberculosis. The disease is particularly affecting the most vulnerable people: women, children, migrants, prisoners, homeless and in a disproportionate way those living with HIV/AIDS."
"The Church taking from the example of Christ has always had the poor at heart," he added. "Pope Francis in particular is well known for championing the cause of the poor and marginalized … He urges us to have a special concern for the poor and weak among us, putting them at the center of our attention, care, reflections and political activism; and also to recognize that care for the poor is demanded not only by charity, but by justice."

Following up from my post on Deconstructing the map literal in Scala, I thought it might be fun to go the other way around, and create a few literals of own. Since Scala provides the language features to enable literal-like syntax, and not the actual literals themselves, we can do a lot of stuff to reduce the amount of typing we have to.
In your production code, you probably wouldn't use a lot of literals, regardless of language support. However, in test cases, they are much more common. If creating objects in your tests becomes easier, you will tend to write better tests.
Suppose we are writing a Twitter app (that's all the rage these days, anyway). We might define a TwitterUser class like so:
class TwitterUser(val username:String) {
def url = "http://www.twitter.com/" + username
def recentTweets = // imagine some code here
We might write a few test cases:
val me = new TwitterUser("davetron5000")
val fake = new TwitterUser("davetron5001")
// Along with our TwitterUser class def
object @@ { // "@" is a reserved word :(
def apply(username:String) = new TwitterUser(username)
// back to our test code
val me = @@("davetron5000")
val fake = @@("davetron5001")
It's a small bit of code, and we've saved some typing without sacrificing readability, since we take advantage of the way Twitter refers to users via the "@" symbol.
If our app is all about Twitter, we can go a step further and just rename TwitterUser to @@ like so:
// This replaces the TwitterUser class
// and @@ singleton object
case class @@(val username:String) {
def url = "http://www.twitter.com/" + username
user match {
case @@("davetron5000") => "it's you, dude"
case user:@@ => "it's someone else"
Now, you certainly don't want to do this for every object in your domain (you'd get a horrible mess of symbols), but for key objects that you are using everywhere, an appropriately chosen literal syntax can make your code very clean and easy to read and modify.

(This article was originally published in the November/December 1998 issue of "The Backwoodsman.")
David S. Markowitz (C) 1997-2000
Among the most colorful and historic of all U.S. military firearms is the Colt Model 1848 Percussion Army Revolver, or "Dragoon." Introduced in 1848 after the close of the Mexican War, the Dragoon formed the big bore part of the Colt stable. Initially intended for use by the U.S. Army's Mounted Rifles (U.S.M.R.) or "Dragoons" this model went on to see considerable civilian service during the 1850s and '60s, and was used during the Civil War. Today, replicas of this famous pistol provide the modern black powder shooter with a link to this important period in our country's history.
The massive Dragoon was introduced to rectify a number of defects found in the even larger Colt Walker revolver which were discovered in active service during the Mexican War. For example, the Walker was so large at four and a half poundsge at four and a half pounds that it was quite unwieldy. Additionally, a number of Walkers exploded when they weree fired, no doubt causing much grief to their users. Features introduced in the Dragoon model include a slightly shorter cylinder, holding up to 50 grains of powder and a round ball (compared with 60 grains in the Walker), a slightly shorter barrel (7.5 inches versus 9 inches for the Walker), and a somewhat more positive loading lever latch designed to keep the lever from dropping down during recoil and jamming the piece. The shorter barrel and cylinder brought weight down to 4 pounds two ounces and thus made the arm slightly easier to handle. The lower powder capacity lowered chamber pressures and made the gun inherently less likely to blow up when shot. Improvements in Colt's metallurgy also helped in this regard.
During the turbulent 1850s leading up to the Civil War, Colt Dragoons saw extensive military and civilian service. The Dragoons were originally issued to the U.S.M.R. in pairs which were carried in pommel holsters on their saddles. However, they also gained in popularity among civilians in the Southwest, many of whom had seen recent service in the Mexican War. Some of these men had no doubt seen the Walker Colt in action and wanted to have similar firepower on their side. Others knew a good thing when they saw it, and latched onto the powerful and rapid-firing Dragoons. The American West inAmerican West in the 1850s was a place where a man might need a powerful, rapid-firearm, whether for defending his homestead on the plains of "BleedingKansas" or while fighting Indians and desperados in Texas. The Colt Dragoon, more than any other weapon, fit this description to a "T."
Amongst the most infamous users of the Colt Dragoon during the 1850s was the bandit army of Joaquin Murietta in the then-new state of California. According to legend, Murietta, a Mexican who had formerly held the deepest admiration for Americans, finally tired of being treated poorly by the Anglos in California. Murietta reached his breaking point one night in late 1850 when his cabin was broken into by five American miners who raped his wife. Depending on which version of the story you hear, she either survived the attack or died soon afterwards. Following this, Murietta and his followers went on a rampage of plunder, murder, and destruction which lasted for nearly three years until it was brought to an end in July 1853 by the California Rangers, who had been formed specifically to stop Murietta's depredations. One of the more interesting relics of this story is a Second Model Dragoon which was given by Murietta's lieutenant, Manuel Garcia (AKA "Three-Fingered Jack") to the owner of the Higuerra Ranche Higuerra Ranch near San Jose, in appreciation for the owner's having provided the gang with a place to lay low in June of 1853 when they were being chased by the Rangers. According to the Murietta legend, his bandits sometimes carried up to six of these giant revolvers with them.
During its production run from 1848 through 1860, when it was superseded by the Colt Model 1860 Army revolver, the Dragoon was produced in three main variations. Naturally, these are referred to as the First Model, Second Model, and Third Model Dragoons. Government orders totaled 8,390 revolvers during this time frame.
The distinguishing external feature of the First Model Dragoon is the oval-shaped cylinder notches. Nearly 7,000 First Models were made by Colt from 1848 to 1850.
The Second Model differed from earlier guns in that the cylinder notches are rectangular, and it could have either a regular leaf mainspring, or the "V" mainspring of the First Model. This is by far the scarcest variation, with only about2,550 being made in 1850 and '51.
The Third Model Dragoon was produced in greater numbers than the two earlier models, with a little more than 10,000 made from 1851 through 1860. Some were even0. Some were even made at Colt's London armory. There were more variations of this model than earlier types. Features incorporated on some Third Model Dragoons include frame cuts for detachable shoulder stocks, horizontal "Navy-type" loading lever latches (most Dragoons have a vertical latch), and folding leaf sights. The key external identifying feature of the Third Model is the round trigger guard, instead of the square-back trigger guard of earlier types.
All three models of the Dragoon revolvers have an unfluted cylinder which bears an engraved scene of a battle between soldiers and Indians. The cylinder may also bear the inscription "U.S. DRAGOONS" or "MODEL U.S.M.R."
The first impression most people have when seeing a Colt Dragoon for the first time is something like, "Damn, it's big!" To give you an idea of just how big, let's look at the gun's specifications:
- Weight: 4 pounds, two ounces.
- Length overall: 14 inches.
- Barrel length: 7.5 inches.: 7.5 inches.
- Caliber: .44 nominal; actually shoots a .451 to .457 ball.
- Powder capacity: 50 grains when shooting a round ball.
This dwarfs a Ruger Old Army, no lightweight at 3 pounds, or a Colt M1860 Army at 2.75 pounds. It's also considerably more powerful than either of these other two .44s. The Old Army has a maximum powder charge of 40 grains, while the M1860 Colt will hold 35 grains (both when shooting roundballs).
An original Colt Dragoon in shootable condition is way out of my price range, and even if it wasn't would be far too valuable to take to the range. (I think that's a shame, since they were made to be shot, not looked at. But that's gun collecting for you.) Therefore, I shot the next-best thing, a replica Second Model Dragoon made by Aldo Uberti in Italy. I have a high opinion of Uberti's repros based on my past experience with them. I also own one each of their repros of the Colt 1851 Navy .36 and the Winchester 1873 carbine .44-40 WCF. The Dragoon is made to the same high standards as these other guns, with a nice, dark walnut stock and well-polished deep bluing. I was a little disappointed in the color case hardening on the frame, which wasn't as bright asn't as bright as that on my Navy repro, although the colors came out very good on the loading lever and rammer.
After I brought my new Dragoon home, I field stripped it and thoroughly degreased the exterior of the piece, as well as the bore and the chambers. After experimenting with many different lubes during the course of shooting black powder for about twenty years, I've come to the conclusion that the natural lubricants are best. Petroleum-based lubes exacerbate the fouling problem you have when dealing with black powder. They make the fouling much harder and thicker. By contrast, natural lubricants, such as Ox Yoke's Wonder Lube or even plain old Crisco swiped from the kitchen keep the fouling soft. Therefore, after I removed all the preservative which coated the revolver as it came from the factory, I wiped down the bore, chambers, and outside of the gun with Wonder Lube. Even though Crisco is much cheaper, and works well as a shooting lubricant, it stiffens up too much for use in cold weather, so I used the Ox Yoke product. By so coating the gun I protected it from rusting, and also "seasoned" the bore and chambers, so that the black powder fouling wouldn't build up too badly.
In my first outing with my new gun, I fired only three cylindersy three cylinders worth, since it was a bit cold outside. However, it really got me hooked on this revolver. The first two cylinders were loaded with Hornady .457 roundballs on top of 50 grains of 3Fg Goex black powder. Wonder Lube was used to seal the chamber mouths, both to lubricate the ball's ride down the bore and keep fouling down, but also to prevent chain-firing. I used CCI number 11 percussion caps.
Shooting at a target placed at 25 yards, I was able to keep my shots within about a six inch group. This may not sound too impressive, but consider that: I was shooting offhand, the rear sight is a notch in the hammer nose which vanishes once you pull the trigger, and it weighs four pounds plus. Besides, I'm not that great a pistolero, anyway. The boom and smoke cloud brought a smile to my face each time I fired the Dragoon. With 50 grains of powder it seemed about as loud as a .50 caliber muzzleloading rifle. According to Sam Fadala in his book The Gun Digest Black Powder Loading Manual (DBI Books, Inc. 1982), this load will push a roundball out the muzzle at about 1100 feet per second, for approximately 400 foot-pounds of energy. This is comparable to a hot .45 ACP load.
My last cylinderful was loaded erful was loaded with 45 grains of powder. I did this because the loading lever came unlatched several times when shooting the 50 grain loads, and I thought the slightly lower recoil might prevent this. This unfortunately wasn't the case. However, I think I may continue to use the lighter load anyway, since it still produces a lot of smoke and noise, but allows me to put more lubricant on top of the balls in the chambers. This ought to help keep the fouling down.
In my second trip out to the range I put another four cylinders through the gun. Shooting from about 15 yards this time, the groups could be covered with your hand. I didn?t do any formal benchrest testing, since I figure that the Dragoon was designed as a service arm, and the sights (especially the rear) really won?t allow me to shoot the gun to the limits of its mechanical accuracy, anyway. Therefore, I shot it offhand, mostly with two hands. I did shoot one group with only one hand, so I could get some decent photos.
The loads I shot on this outing were 45 grains of 3Fg Goex, topped with the Hornady .457 roundballs and Wonder Lube. One of the things that I like about shooting cap and ball revolvers is that if anyone else is at the range, they alwaysge, they always come over to see what I'm doing. Even folks who themselves aren't especially interested in black powder are intrigued by the loading and shooting process, especially when they see the smoke clouds I'm making. By virtue of its size and power, the Dragoon is a real crowd-pleaser on the firing line.
Upon returning home, I promptly cleaned the revolver using my new favorite black powder cleaning solution -- Windex. Even though I had just put 24 heavy loads through it, the bore came clean with only 3 or 4 patches. If you use this, be careful to get all of the Windex out, since the ammonia it contains could etch the gun's metal if left in contact too long. Once cleaned, I put another protective coating of Wonder Lube on the Dragoon.
In the nineteenth century the westward expansion of America's frontier created the need for a powerful, reliable, and fast-shooting weapon. Samuel Colt started down the road to solving this need with his Paterson models, improved on them with his Walker, and took the next step with his Dragoons. During the 1850s, the Dragoon was probably the finest military arm available, and was only eclipsed when technological developments allowed Colt to bring out the 1860 Army model. Still, themodel. Still, the Dragoon went on to see extensive service on both sides in the Civil War.
American shooters today can reach back in time and experience a little of this rich history with one of the replicas of the Colt Dragoon now offered by several manufacturers. In doing so, we help keep alive this important piece of our past.

By LaMonique Giddens, UNF
SANFORD, Fla. - Jury selection in the George Zimmerman trial went into its second day on Tuesday. This process is commonly known as "voir dire" in the legal community. Voir dire, literally translated, means "to speak the truth" and is considered by those in the legal profession to be one of the most important parts of a trial.
Thirty potential jurors were dismissed from those that were summoned on Tuesday, according to Michelle Kennedy, Public Information Officer for the 18th Judicial Circuit.
Individual prepublicity voir dire will be conducted until they get a pool of 30 people not stricken for cause. Then they will begin the traditional voir dire with those 30.
The 100 individuals summoned for Wednesday are on call and do not have to report to court tomorrow.
This is the only part of a trial where the attorneys get to interact one on one with the people who will decide the fate of their case. Jury selection is really a process of rejection or "weeding out." It is about both sides eliminating potential jurors who may hurt their case and ending up with jurors who fall somewhere in the middle and can maintain a sense of impartiality. In the Zimmerman trial, a pool of 500 people is being narrowed down 100 at a time. At the end of the voir dire process, there will be 6 jurors and 4 alternates.
In narrowing down the jury pool, any juror, and an unlimited amount of jurors can be rejected for cause, meaning they can be rejected for any reason by the judge and the judge only. Cause could be anything from a juror not being able to serve because they have no one to take care of their children, to something provocative or controversial that the juror wore to court, or because of too much exposure to information regarding the trial and the judge feels they have too much bias one way or the other.
The prosecution and the defense also get 10 jurors each that they can reject for almost any reason. These are called peremptory challenges. There is, however, an exception to this rule: Neither side can use a peremptory challenge to reject a juror solely because of race. If one side believes that the other side has rejected a juror just based on race, then they can challenge the peremptory challenge with the judge. This is called a Batson challenge. In the case of a Batson challenge, the judge makes the final ruling on whether the juror stays or not.
The process of jury selection is an art form and every attorney has his or her own method of determining who they want or who they don't. Some rely solely on experience and instinct, and some use jury selection experts and various other methods to help them. There are as many ways for an attorney to pick jurors as there are attorneys and judges.
It all starts with the pretrial questions. These questions are in the form of questionnaires that have to be filled out by the potential jurors. There are generally three different kinds:
-The first kind is the standard form that is put together by the court. The attorneys have no part in putting together this questionnaire. The purpose of the standard form is to make sure that potential jurors have the basic qualifications -- such as proficiency in the English language --needed to be a juror.
-The second kind of questionnaire is made up by an attorney for a particular kind of case. The reason this is done is because the kinds of questions that an attorney would ask in a second-degree murder trial such as the Zimmerman Trial would probably be different than in a slip and fall case.
-The third kind of questionnaire is also created by an attorney it is designed for a specific case. For example, in the Zimmerman Trial, the questions are currently geared toward a prospective juror's exposure to pretrial publicity. Both sides want to know how any information the jurors have heard or seen about Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman may have affected the prospective juror's ability to stay unbiased during the trial. They are asking questions like "How often do you watch the news?" and "What do you know about the Zimmerman case?" These questions speak to these potential jurors' ability to be "fair and impartial" and ultimately that is what both sides are looking for.
LaMonique Giddens is a senior and a double major in Political Science and Psychology at University of North Florida. She will be attending law school in the fall of 2014 and pursuing her master's degree in Psychology in 2014. She is interested becoming a trial attorney and interested in the fields of jury selection and trial advocacy.

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unoccupied Houses.
Thursday, 23 November 1972
Dáil Eireann Debate
Mr. O.J. Flanagan: asked the Minister for Local Government if he will amend the Derelict Sites Act, 1961, so that dwelling houses left unoccupied for a considerable time may be acquired by the local authority without great delay and that special provision be made in cases where the owner is outside the jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
Mr. Molloy: The compulsory acquisition powers contained in the Derelict Sites Act, 1961, are intended for use by local authorities only as a last resort and where all other means available to them under the Act to have sites cleared have failed. The powers of acquisition conferred by the Act are necessary to meet the problem of derelict sites generally but are inappropriate for dealing with the problem of habitable houses which are unoccupied.
