Baby Name Poll Results
Rori Rebel vs. Rory Hazel vs. Rori Hazel
I love the idea of Rori/Rory. I like the y, while he likes the i. I love the name Rebel too but couldn't quite find a middle name for it, so it became a middle name option but he loves Hazel. Help! We already have Rhett and Rosemary.
The Top Baby Name is...
|Rori Rebel Hatfield
|11% (1 votes)
|Rory Hazel Hatfield
|67% (6 votes)
|Rori Hazel Hatfield
|22% (2 votes)
I like Rori with an I because it looks more girly since it's a unisex name although Rory looks complete. I think Rebel Scarlett would be cute.

Does anyone know good on-line printing services in France or Switzerland?
I've looked through the search history and all I found was this old post from 2009, http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/32120744
Instead of reviving the old thread, I wondered - does anyone know any decent (professional) labs in mainland Europe (France/Switzerland esp.)?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

March 6, 2010
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Alexis Gray-Lawson scored 15 points in the final regular season home game of her carer as the California Golden Bears fell 63-48 to the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal. Freshman DeNesha Stallworth had the third double double of her career with 12 points and 13 rebounds.
The Cardinal (28-1, 18-0 Pac-10) played without All-American center Jayne Appel, who was sidelined with a sprained right ankle that requires a walking boot after she got hurt in practice during the week. It's unclear how long she might be out.
Stanford missed Appel's presence in the paint and never looked in sync while winning a 19th straight game since the team's lone loss at top-ranked Connecticut on Dec. 23.
Kayla Pedersen added 23 points and 10 rebounds for the Cardinal, who already secured their 10th straight Pac-10 regular-season title and will be the top seed heading into next weekend's conference tournament in Los Angeles. Stanford is trying for a third straight trip to the Final Four.
Alexis Gray-Lawson scored 15 points in what might have been her final home game at Haas Pavilion for Cal (17-12, 11-7). The Golden Bears host first- and second-round NCAA tournament games March 20 and 22 but are not automatic locks to make the tournament. It will come down to the Pac-10 Conference tournament, which starts on Thursday, March 11 in Los Angeles.
Joslyn Tinkle's 3-pointer with 13:33 remaining was the first all game for Stanford after the Cardinal missed their initial eight attempts from long range. Neither team looked particularly sharp in this long-standing Bay Area rivalry.
Stanford has won 35 of the last 38 meetings with the Bears, including 79-58 at Maples Pavilion on Jan. 2.
Gray-Lawson and Ogwumike are the Pac-10's top two scorers, but Ogwumike ruled in this one. Ogwumike shot 10 for 15, while Gray-Lawson went 4 of 13. She received a rousing standing ovation when she left the game in the waning seconds. DeNesha Stallworth added 12 points and 13 boards for the Bears.
The Cardinal led 26-19 at the break. Stanford missed all six of its 3-point tries and shot 40 percent, to 25.8 percent by Cal - including 1 for 6 from long range. Stanford wound up 2 of 13 on 3-pointers to 1 of 9 by the Bears.
Cal had gone 11-3 in its previous 14 games after losing its first three Pac-10 games but now has dropped two in a row after the Bears had their five-game winning streak snapped in a 57-50 loss at Arizona State last Saturday.
Cal went 6 minutes, 11 seconds without scoring midway through the first half, while Stanford used a 10-0 run during that stretch but couldn't do enough to pull away.
The Cardinal began the game 2 for 8 with two turnovers in the opening four minutes.
It was also an emotional game for Cal's three graduating seniors, Alexis Gray-Lawson, Natasha Vital, and Lauren Greif. It might have been the last time any of them take the court at Haas Pavilion, capping three very successful careers.
"Lex, Lauren and Natasha, they have been here for so long and have done so much," said head coach Joanne Boyle after the game. "You want, with them playing one of their last games, for it to be different for them (to win their final game). With them, this program was built in that gym by them. They have done so much over the years."
Alexis Gray-Lawson, who earlier this week was named the 2010 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award winner (an honor given to the best guard in the country 5 foot 8 and under), was asked after the game to reflect about her senior day experience. She used the opportunity instead to explain one of the main reasons for her success over the years.
"I don't think people give enough credit to my teammates," she explained. "My teammates make me the way I am, my coaches make me the way I am. I don't think Coach Boyle gets enough credit for helping raise us. She has made me the woman I am and I am very appreciative of that. It was definitely something to take in when everyone including Stanford fans stood up to cheer for me (as she left the floor for possibly the final time)."
With the loss and USC's 62-52 victory over Arizona State, Cal finished the regular season in fourth place in the Pac-10 and earns a four-seed in the Pac-10 tournament. Cal will open the tournament by taking on the No. 5 seed Arizona State Sun Devils on Friday, March 12 at 11:00 a.m. at the Galen Center in Downtown Los Angeles. The winner of that game will advance to play the winner of the #1 vs #8/9 game (Stanford vs yet undetermined competitor) in the semifinals on Saturday, March 13 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets for the Pac-10 Tournament are available through the CalBears.com website.

Thomas Jordan, University Professor and holder of the W.M. Keck Foundation Chair in Geological Sciences, was awarded a $1.6 million federal stimulus grant to continue developing the PetaShake Project -- an advanced computational research platform designed to support high-resolution earthquake simulations on a regional scale.
The grant will enable the Southern California Earthquake Center housed in USC College to continue the project for the next two years.
"Right now, we don't have the computational capacity to do some of the calculating needed to fully understand earthquakes," said Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. "So, we've been pushing the limits of computers and supercomputers to do more ambitious calculations to better understand earthquakes.
"With PetaShake, we've begun to run complex simulations on hundreds of thousands of computer processors. It's a new kind of seismic hazardous map and type of calibration. We've never before been able to do this."
Southern California, the natural laboratory for the project, comprises 23 million people and about half the national earthquake risk. The center coordinates a comprehensive program of earthquake system science involving over 600 scientists at more than 60 research institutions, and it incorporates basic research into products for reducing seismic risk.
PetaShake cyberinfrastructure and simulations eventually may be used in earthquake engineering and disaster management. For example, the simulations may become the basis for the Great Southern California ShakeOut, the largest disaster response exercise in United States history. As a result of ShakeOut, Southern California may learn from simulations what other regions, such as Sichuan, China, have tragically had to learn from real earthquakes.
The project will promote the vertical integration of cyberinfrastructure in parallel with hardware development, thus supporting the National Science Foundation's plans to achieve petascale computing by 2011. (In computing, petascale refers to a computer system capable of reaching performance greater than one petaflop, or one quadrillion floating point operations per second.)
A diverse set of undergraduate and graduate students will participate in the project, enhancing the career trajectories of women and minorities in high-performance computing.

NEW YORK (AP) — An Egyptian Islamic preacher brought to the United States on charges that he supported terrorism around the world from his perch at a London mosque has been found guilty.
Jurors in federal court in New York City returned their verdict Monday in the case against Mustafa Kamel Mustafa (muh-STAH'-fuh kah-MEHL' muh-STAH'-fuh).
The verdict came only weeks after another preacher who served as al-Qaida's spokesman immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks was convicted.
Prosecutors cited speeches and taped interviews to show that Mustafa conspired to aid terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida. Prosecutors say he aided kidnappers of 16 tourists in Yemen in 1998 and tried to build an al-Qaida training camp in Oregon in 1999.
Mustafa insisted during testimony that he never supported terrorists.

Practice/Industry Group Overview
In an effort to meet legal obligations, companies subject to the complex array of environmental and health and safety laws and regulations search for answers to the most basic questions: What do we need to do to comply? How do we do it? Do we have the proper procedures in place? The answers to many specific questions do not come easily. But failing to answer these basic questions poses many risks. For instance, companies risk commercial disruption if noncompliance forces them to shut down a production line, even on a temporary basis. Today's competitive climate demands a management strategy that avoids regulatory and enforcement surprises.
Penalties for violations of health and safety laws can cost a company millions of dollars. Also, the adverse public relations resulting from poor regulatory compliance can cost millions more in lost consumer goodwill, and it can have a negative impact on valuable brand names. Audits can assist companies in fulfilling their regulatory obligations, and when reported in a timely fashion, fines for noncompliance may be eliminated or reduced. Further, an audit can provide a company with a better understanding of company data that is available to the public at large and can provide a foundation to build a better image in the minds of the general public and customers. An audit can also reduce potential risks to the health of employees, members of the community, consumers, and the environment; they can increase efficiency by reducing waste; and they can optimize procedures for future compliance. Companies can identify plant practices not in compliance with applicable regulations, provide personnel with adequate training and guidance to correct these practices, and ensure that compliance mechanisms are entrenched in the corporate culture.
A regulatory audit provides an objective review of facility operations and company practices and provides a recommended process to ensure that compliance continues. Because audits enhance regulatory compliance and create economic benefit, many companies are conducting audits as a normal course of business. Environmental and health and safety self-audits can take many forms, including:

We also structure these reviews to avoid commercial disruption whenever possible and seek to maximize the benefit of government policies that discount or significantly eliminate penalties for violations. Our goal is always to provide our clients with the tools needed for long-term prosperity and preservation of corporate and brand values central to most companies.

The other day when riding in a pace line my friend noticed that I had a problem in way my leg was moving while peddling. As he describes my left leg mostly tends to sway out a little not staying straight and having a smooth up and down movement (in simple my leg tends to bow out from the body while riding). Yesterday I looked at my leg while riding and noticed that in fact my leg likes to sway a little outward. This would explain some discomfort in my knee I was having after very long rides.
I have been training myself to keep it straight but I am wondering if their is something else that is causing it. Is it possible to be a problem with my bike (I have not had a pro fit for it but I have adjusted everything to the correct ways and have not had any problems but this).
Also is their any suggestions on techniques to correct what my leg is doing on rides?

Quick Takes
Wrong words
Imagine Reba Cobb's embarrassment. She is the second-ranking administrator of the Atlanta-based Cooperative Baptist Fellowship-a group opposed to the conservative leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention. At the CBF's annual meeting in Fort Worth last month, she preached a sermon titled "The Bent-Over Woman" at a women-in-ministry breakfast. A Southern Baptist journalist hours later confronted her, asking why she had preached a sermon that was almost word-for-word the same as one published in 1979 by United Church of Christ minister David Owen in Colorado. Unknown to her, books containing Rev. Owen's sermon were being sold in exhibit hall booths. Some Southern Baptist observers at the CBF meeting accused her of plagiarism. Ms. Cobb said she had no idea her sermon had been lifted from Rev. Owen. She said she had hired a freelance research assistant to produce a sermon for her. After learning of the problem, she said, she reprimanded the ghostwriter-whom she declined to identify. She also issued an apology. Other CBF leaders rallied to Ms. Cobb's defense. CBF moderator James Baucom, a Virginia pastor, said busy corporate executives commonly use research assistants to draft speeches. Ms. Cobb, he said, simply used the wrong one.
Bushwhacking business
At the root of America's economic problems is an entrepreneurship crisis, contends columnist Paul Craig Roberts. He reports that only an average of eight Initial Public Offerings have launched on the stock market per month over the last 18 months. "Where are the entrepreneurs?" he wonders. "What is holding them back? Are they deserting the United States because of class-action lawsuits, high taxes, regulatory restrictions, and global considerations? Are entrepreneurs stymied by the anti-business climate attributed to accounting scandals?" Mr. Roberts says a capital-gains tax cut is a must, but politicians fear a political backlash. But the issues at stake are too important to take recovery for granted. "An economic crisis would distract the U.S. government, weaken its influence abroad, and create a field day for terrorists, further shattering confidence and setting off a new downward spiral," the economist argues.
Regulating the regulators
America's eyes may be on Enron, Tyco, and WorldCom, but government corruption can be worse. Thomas Bray notes in The Wall Street Journal that an obscure new law may soon bring attention to federal shenanigans. The law, signed by President Clinton during the flurry of his last days in office, places quality controls on data generated by government agencies. Under the Federal Data Quality Act, policies based on false information could be examined or overturned. "Anybody affected by the subsequent regulations or activities of the agency would have the right to inspect the data and demand corrections," Mr. Bray reports. "Moreover, the act applies to the data that agencies already use. The impact could be huge; policy found to rest on inaccurate or misleading data could be suspended or overturned." Mr. Bray writes that the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness, which drafted the bill, wants the White House to review an EPA study that claims global warming is caused by human activity.
Man knows not his time
Ted Williams, the last baseball player to hit better than .400 in a season, died this month at the age of 83. "There is no joy in Red Sox nation, aka New England, or in any heart where baseball matters," George Will reports in a column memorializing the star hitter. Mr. Will describes Mr. Williams as "an alloy of innocence and arrogance," an obsessive player who gave the local sports reporters lots to write about. "He used a postal scale to check that humidity had not added an ounce to the weight of his bats," he writes. "Challenged to find from among six bats the one that was half an ounce heavier than the others, he quickly did. He once returned to the maker a batch of his Louisville Sluggers because he sensed that the handles were not quite right. The handles were off by five-thousandths of an inch."
The revolution that wasn't
The Gingrich era continues its quick departure into history. Less than half of the famous "Class of '94" that swept into the house are running for reelection next year, reports Gail Russell Chaddock of The Christian Science Monitor. In 1994, 73 new faces ended decades of Democratic control in the House. But many have left due to term-limit promises, and others drifted away for other reasons. J.C. Watts, perhaps the star of the group, is retiring. "A number of them have become a part of the Washington establishment and no longer have the fervor for making these changes they did in 1994," Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation told the paper.

Why does a byte only range from 0 to 255?
Strictly speaking, the term "byte" can actually refer to a unit with other than 256 values. It's just that that's the almost universal size. From Wikipedia:
Ironically, these days the size of "a single character" is no longer consider a single byte in most cases... most commonly, the idea of a "character" is associated with Unicode, where characters can be represented in a number of different formats, but are typically either 16 bits or 32.
It would be amusing for a system which used UCS-4/UTF-32 (the direct 32-bit representation of Unicode) to designate 32 bits as a byte. The confusion caused would be spectacular.
However, assuming we take "byte" as synonymous with "octet", there are eight independent bits, each of which can be either on or off, true or false, 1 or 0, however you wish to think of it. That leads to 256 possible values, which are typically numbered 0 to 255. (That's not always the case though. For example, the designers of Java unfortunately decided to treat bytes as signed integers in the range -128 to 127.)
Byte ≠ Octet
It doesn't.
An octet has 8 bits, thus allowing for 28 possibilities. A byte is ill‐defined. One should not equate the two terms, as they are not completely interchangeable. Also, wicked programming languages that support only signed characters (ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏw ᴡʜᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ﹗) can only represent the values −128 to 127, not 0 to 255.
Big Iron takes a long time to rust.
Most but not all modern machines all have 8‑bits bytes, but that is a relatively recent phenomenon. It certainly has not always been that way. Many very early computers had 4‑bit bytes, and 6‑bit bytes were once common even comparitively recently. Both of those types of bytes hold rather fewer values than 255.
Those 6‑bit bytes could be quite convenient, since with a word size of 36 bits, six such bytes fit cleanly into one of those 36‑bit words without any jiggering. That made if very useful for holding Fieldata, used by the very popular Sperry ᴜɴɪᴠᴀᴄ computers. You can only fit 4 ᴀsᴄɪɪ characters into a 36‑bit word, not 6 Fieldata. We had 1100 series at the computing center when I was an undergraduate, but this remains true even with the modern 2200 series.
Enter ASCII
ᴀsᴄɪɪ — which was and is only a 7‑ not an 8‑bit code — paved the way for breaking out of that world. The importance of the ɪʙᴍ 360, which had 8‑bit bytes whether they held ᴀsᴄɪɪ or not, should not be understated.
Nevertheless, many machines long supported ᴅᴇᴄ's Radix‑50. This was a 40‑character repertoire wherein three of its characters could be efficiently packed into a single 16‑bit words under two distinct encoding schemes. I used plenty of ᴅᴇᴄ ᴘᴅᴘ‑11s and Vaxen during my university days, and Rad‑50 was simply a fact of life, a reality that had to be accomodated.
Because a byte, by its standard definition, is 8 bits which can represent 256 values (0 through 255).
A byte has only 8 bits. A bit is a binary digit. So a byte can hold 2 (binary) ^ 8 numbers ranging from 0 to 2^8-1 = 255.
It's the same as asking why a 3 digit decimal number can represent values 0 through 999, which is answered in the same manner (10^3 - 1).
Originally bytes weren't always 8 bits though. They represented 'a couple' of bits that could be 6, 7 or 9 bits as well. That was later standardized and it made sense to make those units a power of two, due to the binary nature of computering. Hence came the nibble (4 bits, or half a byte) and the 8 bit byte.
[edit] That is also why octal and hexadecimal numbering became popular. One octal number represents 3 bits and one hexadecimal number represents 4 bits. So a to digit hexadecimal number can represent exactly one byte. It makes a lot more sense to have number from 0 to 0xFF than from 0 to 255. :)
You are wrong! A byte ranges from 0 to 63 or from 0 to 99!
Do you believe in God? God said in the Holy Bible.
I'll note that on the PDP-10 series of computers, a byte was a variable-length construct, defined by a "byte pointer" which defined the number of bits as well as the offset from the beginning of the storage area. There were then a set of machine instructions for dealing with a byte pointer, including:
In fact, a "byte" was what we today would call a bit field. Using a byte pointer to represent the next in a series of bytes of the same size was only one of its uses.
Some of the character sets in use were "sixbit" (upper-case only, six bytes to a 36-bit word), ASCII (upper and lower-case, five bytes to a word, with a bit left over), and only rarely EBCDIC (the IBM character set, which used four eight-bit bytes per word, wastefully leaving four bits per word unused).
Strictly speaking, it doesn't.
On most modern systems a byte is 8 binary bits, but on some systems this was not always the case (many older computers used 7 bits to represent ASCII characters (aka bytes), and punched card systems were often based on 6-bit characters (aka bytes), for example).
If you're talking about an 8-bit byte, this can represent any range you wish. However, it can only represent 256 distinct values, so it is typically used to represent 0..255 ("unsigned byte") or -128..+127 ("signed byte").
A Byte has 8 bits(8 1's or 0's) 01000111=71
each bit represents a value, 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 but from right to left ?
using binary 1's or 0's and only 8 bits(1 byte) we can only have
1 of each value 1 X 128, 1 X 64,1 X 32 etc giving a max total of 255 and a min of 0

The commodities markets are in the spotlight as the U.S. faces its largest drought since the 1950s. According to the National Climatic Data Center, about 55 percent of the country experienced at least moderate short-term drought in June for the first time since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought.
July has hardly provided any relief thus far, with yet another heat wave moving across the country this week. The extreme weather conditions have left farmers scrambling to save some of their harvests, but the effects will likely lead to higher food costs sooner than later. Of particular concern is the corn harvest, which has been dramatically reduced by the drought. This will spike the cost of animal feed, which will spike the cost of meat.
Richard Volpe, an economist with the USDA's Economic Research Service, told CNN that beef, pork, poultry and dairy prices will experience the greatest impact from these weather conditions.
Wheat prices finished a second week in a row above $9, averaging nearly 20 cents higher than the previous week. A rise in crude oil prices has reversed the months-long dropping gas price trend, and hot temperatures across the country are also to blame for higher natural gas prices.
Average block cheese prices rose a penny to $1.65 last week on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, from $1.64 the week prior.
Cheese prices closed at $1.64 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, $1.66 Thursday and $1.68 Friday.
The drought settling in across the country has affected wheat prices, which jumped again last week on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, averaging $9.21. The week prior, prices were $9.02. Wheat averaged $7.49 in early June.
Wheat closed at $9.14 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, $9.32 Thursday and $9.35 Friday.
Gasoline and diesel fuel
Today's nationwide average for regular unleaded fuel is $3.39, up a penny from $3.38 the previous week, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.
Prices a month ago were higher at $3.51. Last year at this time, consumers were paying nearly 30 cents more, $3.67, at the pump.
Today's mid-range unleaded is $3.54, from $3.53 the week prior, while today's premium unleaded price is $3.68, from $3.67.
Diesel fuel prices are averaging $3.68, from $3.67 last week. The price of diesel fuel is down from $3.78 a month ago, and from $3.94 a year ago.
Natural gas
Natural gas price movements at spot markets have been mixed since July 3. Over the past week, the Henry Hub price has posted a net loss of 6 cents per MMBtu, falling from $2.78 per MMBtu on July 3 to $2.72 per MMBtu July 10. High temperatures in much of the United States pushed prices up temporarily earlier this week.
The August 2012 NYMEX futures price fell from $2.899 per MMBtu July 3 to $2.853 per MMBtu July 10. Futures prices for the near month have remained below $3 per MMBtu.
Pizza company stocks
Pizza Hut parent Yum! Brands Inc. closed last week at $64.72, a slight drop from $64.75 the week prior. The company hit its 52-week high in May at $74.44. Its 52-week low is $47.15 from a year ago. Yum! Brands will report its latest earnings Wednesday.
Domino's closed last Friday at $31.81, up from $30.83 a week ago. DPZ's 52-week high was $42.21 in April. Shares remain higher over this time last year when the company traded at $22.84.
Papa John's closed last week at $49.44, a jump from $48.43 the week prior. PZZA hit its 52-week high in May at $50.45 after a positive earnings report. The company hit its 52-week low of $26.95 a year ago.
CEC Entertainment Inc., parent company of Chuck E. Cheese restaurants, closed out last week at $36.06, down a bit from $36.62 the week prior. The company hit its 52-week high of $41.92 in July 2011. Its 52-week low was $25.83 in September.
Pizza Inn closed Friday at $2.47, from $2.58 the previous week. PZZI hit its 52-week high of $7.07 in December and traded as low as $2.18 a year ago.

The Northern Ireland Assembly's All Party Group (APG) on Learning Disability is a cross-party group of Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly. Its aim is to promote better understanding of the issues faced by people with a learning disability and their families.
The group works to influence policy, legislation and service developments to improve the lives of people with a learning disability and their families.
How the All Party Group works
The group meet four times a year at Parliament buildings, Stormont in Belfast. Each meeting is normally held on a Tuesday and is open to the public. Meetings are themed with recent discussions focusing on:
- The Bamford Review
- Special educational needs
- Housing
- Short breaks
- Welfare reform
- Older carers
- Early intervention
Supporting the work of the APG on Learning Disability
Secretariat for the All Party Group on Learning Disability is provided by Mencap's campaigns officer, Jenny Ruddy. If you have information on issues that you would like highlighted through the APG you can contact Jenny at email@example.com or 028 9069 0152.
A planning committee has been set up to help organise and facilitate the APG meetings and currently consists of representatives from organisations working with people with a learning disability. It includes Mencap, ARC, Positive Futures, Prospects, Triangle Housing Association and the Patient and Client Council.
Membership of APG on Learning Disability
Membership of the APG is open to all MLAs who have an interest in learning disability. Find out about the APG's officers and members.

The "municipal house" in Veprinac, a mediaeval fortified town in the hinterland of Opatija, is home to an ethnographic exhibition that illustrates the everyday life and customs of the local population in the past.
On display is a corn mill, a traditional hearth, a distaff, tools used in forestry, milk pails used to carried milk to Opatija, and woven baskets for hay and other agricultural products.
There is also a copy of the Veprinac Statute of 1507, the most important historical source for Veprinac. It is a monument of Croatian law and language, and an inexhaustible source of valuable and interesting information about Veprinac. The document is preserved as a copy of the Glagolitic script from the 16th century, while the original is kept in the Archives of HAZU (the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts).

One-Der Woman: One Quick Tip to Feel Fabulous When You Go OutJessica Ashley
I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new video show here on Babble — One-Der Woman: The Single Mom's Guide to Happiness.
I'll be flashing my deflector bracelets and lassoing truths of being a single mama, and I invite you to listen in to my tips, stories and kooky dating experiences with not-so supermen. I also would love you to send me your advice, questions and sexts to email@example.com. Wear the red wonder-boots with me!
In the debut episode of One-Der Woman, I do it right — with weird lighting and by showing my panties!
I'm not kidding. I justify the weird lighting because ladies of a certain age often want to crank down the fluorescence when panties are flashed.
So, please, click play. Laugh. Cry. Press play again. Follow my good advice because it works. I'll bet my star-spangled shorts on it.

Choosing the correct dentist is a very crucial decision. Maintaining great health with your pearly whites and mouth is essential and may affect your personal and professional life. When you meet a new person one of the initial issues you notice is their laugh. Determing the best dentist in Park-River is definitely an important step with regards to preserving your teeth. In this informative article I am going to reveal to you some ways to select the right dentist.
Before you do anything else, you'll want to figure out what you need. Are you looking for a dentist in Park-River-58270 to get significant work done or simply searching for some standard cleanings? Are you interested in braces for your teeth or getting teeth bleached? You won't need to be as comprehensive in your search if you are simply looking for basic cleanings.
The second thing you need to do is get an idea of your future dentists' experience and education. It's good to learn about the practice too. What sort of practice is it? Is it one with specific attention or a factory that's seeking to get people in and out? If you're aiming to have a exact procedure completed, it will be a good idea to look for a dentist in Park-River, ND that has a lot of experience in that particular procedure. Ask for pictures of previous work done. This will give you a good idea of the quality of the work.
The final thing you must do is evaluate the price. Usually when the price is suprisingly low, there's a good reason. Most of the dental offices who advertise low prices are only seeking to do a large amount of volume. If you're looking for specialized treatment, this isn't a good thing. By simply contacting the office or doing research online you should be able to get a good idea of which kind of practice it is. Following the advice above will make selecting the most appropriate dentist a much easier process. when looking for a dentist in zip code 58270.

An investigation by the Port of Seattle's Ethics Board found no violations of ethics policies or open-meetings laws by Port Commissioner...
An investigation by the Port of Seattle's Ethics Board found no violations of ethics policies or open-meetings laws by Port Commissioner Pat Davis or other port officials involved in preparing a lucrative severance package for former Port CEO Mic Dinsmore.
However, a seven-page report released Thursday did fault "mistakes, misjudgments and lack of communication" and cast a light on Dinsmore's role in negotiating his own retirement benefits "in which his self-interest is obvious."
The report also noted that Dinsmore's proposed severance would have substantially boosted the size of his state pension and allowed him to start collecting it three years earlier.
The controversy over the severance package erupted after it was revealed that Davis had signed off on an unusual plan to allow Dinsmore to collect an extra year of pay at his $339,841 annual salary.

Davis said other Port commissioners had agreed to the plan during a closed-door executive session, but some commissioners vehemently denied that.
Dinsmore retired this year and never received any of the disputed severance.
The new report suggests Port commissioners try to put the controversy behind them despite lingering arguments over what exactly happened.
" 'Agreeing to disagree' and focusing on the lessons from this most difficult experience may be the most positive thing to do," concluded the report, written by retired King County Superior Court Judge Terrence Carroll and John Strait, associate professor of law at Seattle University.
Despite the finding that no ethics rules were broken, the report led some Port commissioners to renew criticism of Dinsmore's behavior in maneuvering to increase his retirement benefits.
"His approach has not only tarnished his successful legacy, but has undermined the first several months of the new Port administration," Port Commissioner Bob Edwards said in a written statement demanding an apology from Dinsmore.
Port Commission President John Creighton said the report showed "serious bad judgment" by Dinsmore and Davis. While he accepted the report's findings of no ethics violations, Creighton said the Port should consider strengthening its ethics code.
Davis said the report proves she did nothing unethical. She said her only mistake was in not clearly communicating with her colleagues.
"I would never damage the Port in any way. I have conducted myself with honor for 20 years and I think this investigation shows that," she said.
First elected in 1985, Davis is the longest-serving member of the five-person Port commission. She faces an effort to recall her from office due to the controversy.
The ethics report found it impossible to reconcile the different recollections among Port commissioners over whether Dinsmore's proposed severance was ever discussed. No written records existed of the closed-door meetings except for notes apparently written after the fact by Dinsmore.
The former Port chief had those notes placed in his personnel file, apparently to bolster his efforts to obtain higher pay and retirement packages, the report suggested.
The report recommended that future discussions of the Port CEO's salary or benefits be held in public sessions.

I have used campy chorus ergo on at least four bikes, and I have always had problems with the thumb shifters freezing up and preventing the pawl from engaging the ratchet. I've also used bias tape (cloth tape used for edging in sewing) because it gave a good grip, is cheap, and can be applied very neatly. It does absorb sweat, and I learned to apply plastic electrical tape underneath which also has the benefit of holding cables in place very securely.
Finances have been a problem for some time and life style has changed, so I haven't been riding at the previous level and have a litespeed that hasn't been used since about 05. Finally decided that I needed to bite the bullet and get it working again. Basic problem was possible corrosion in cables and the thumb shifter on the one of the brifters doesn't engage. I found some NOS record 9 speed brifters and just decided to buy them rather than refurbishing my old units. Of course the handle bars need to be replaced because salt has corroded the bars near the clamps where they weren't protected by the plastic tape.
My first bright idea is to apply a urethane varnish to the bars before installing the new levers and tape. But that doesn't address the issue of sealing the thumb shifter. I'm sure that I will need to spend a little more effort to cleaning the bars and regular maintenance after rides. While sd40 may be red green's companion to duck tape, the idea of just flushing with the hydrophilic lubricant leaves me a little cold because of the possibility of washing out lubricating grease or other unintended consequences. I worked on a 3 speed that had frozen pawls because the kid wash washing his bike off with a garden hose.
Recommended regular preventive maintenance without tearing everything apart? Maybe a dollop of grease on the thumb shifter pivot and index gear?

Study of the Feasibility of an Optional Retirement Plan for University of Hawaii Faculty
Study of the Feasibility of an Optional Retirement Plan for University of Hawaii Faculty
Report No. 97-8
This study was prepared in response to the Legislature's request in House Concurrent Resolution No. 276, House Draft 1, Senate Draft 1 of the 1996 Regular Session. The study was conducted by the Office of the Auditor and Deloitte & Touche LLP, which provided us with actuarial and related services.
In recent years, the Legislature has been considering whether to provide faculty members of the University of Hawaii with a retirement plan option other than the existing state Employees' Retirement System. In our study, we concluded that the decision to approve an optional retirement plan depends, in large measure, upon issues of philosophy and equity. The Employees' Retirement System currently provides a traditional plan built on the philosophy that retirement benefits should primarily reward long-term service to the State. A fundamental policy question is whether to depart somewhat from this philosophy by providing one group of state employees—university faculty—with a different type of retirement plan that includes rewards for short-term service. A closely related question is how important retirement options are to the university's competitiveness in recruiting and retaining qualified university faculty—an issue on which our study found differing perspectives.
If the Legislature, upon considering these fundamental questions, chooses to adopt an optional retirement plan for University of Hawaii faculty, various alternatives are available, each designed to achieve certain goals as described in our report. Alternative D in our report would be the most costly package to the State because it does not require faculty contributions and it also provides a high level of benefits to faculty either upon terminating employment prior to retirement or upon leaving at normal retirement age. Because Alternative D is favorable to university faculty, it is especially likely to stimulate demands by other state employees for a similar package, thus intensifying the "equity" issue.
Alternatives A, B. and C in our report are more constrained approaches that enable the State to keep its costs of providing retirement benefits to university faculty at a level similar to costs under the existing Employees' Retirement System. These three alternatives differ from each other in such respects as who will bear the investment risk, whether an employee contribution is required, and whether participation is optional or mandatory for faculty hired in the future.
Finally, decision makers considering an optional retirement plan for university faculty should take into account the efforts and administrative costs of establishing a new plan. As our report shows, establishment of a plan occurs in several complex phases with a variety of administrative costs to be incurred at each phase.
Recommendation and Response
If the Legislature decides to authorize an optional retirement plan for University of Hawaii faculty, we recommend that it consider the alternative approaches—A, B, C, and D—that we present in our report. Each of the alternatives has tradeoffs that can be weighed by decision makers in light of our analysis.
In its comments on our draft report, the Employees' Retirement System raised questions about some of our projections and made recommendations concerning the choices available to current Employees' Retirement System members and to new employees if an optional retirement plan is adopted.

VfL Bochum 1-1 Villa pictures: Images as Helenius bags another
Helenius met Leandro Bacuna's ball into the box beautifully as Villa turned on the style after the break.
Marc Albrighton and Gary Gardner were also influential going-forward while Nathan Baker and Ron Vlaar defended resolutely.
Unfortunately Paul Lambert's men conceded late on but it won't have deterred from a trip to Germany that ticked every box.
Villa trained hard and played some tough opposition as the troops geared up for the 2013-14 season.

Most people don't know about it, but Santa Claus actually keeps three sets of lists from people who want visits from him on Christmas Eve. There's the naughty list, the nice list and ... the politicians list. I happen to have obtained exclusive access to this year's version of the third set of letters to Santa. Here it is:
- West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin: $200 million to close the gap in next year's budget and some way to please those tens of thousands of low-income voters who'd like Medicaid coverage and taxpayers who will have to pay much of the cost of it.
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich: Lessons from Clint Eastwood on how to say "Make my day" if former Gov. Ted Strickland asks for a rematch.
- Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie: Someone to pay for the East Wheeling recreation field and a deep-pockets developer for the now mostly vacant 1100 block of Main and Market streets.
- Bellaire Board of Education members: Same thing as last year, Santa - only really bring it this year.
- Mingo Junction officials: Someone in Washington to decide their village is "too big to fail."
- U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va.: More engineers in Congress to cut through the politically correct baloney concerning issues such as the coal industry. McKinley is an engineer, but fewer than 1 percent of his peers hasve such training. About 40 percent are lawyers.
- U.S. Rep. Shelley Capito, R-W.Va.: A West Virginia Republican Party unified behind her for the 2014 U.S. Senate race.
- Morgantown businessman John Raese: A way to resist the temptation to run for the U.S. Senate again.
- West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw: A happy retirement.
- Marshall County Board of Education members: A new Cameron Middle-High School with none of the post-construction problems that almost inevitably occur in such projects everywhere.
- Democrat Party leaders in Brooke, Hancock and Ohio counties: Promises by nominees for the state Senate seat vacated by Orphy Klempa that, if appointed by Gov. Tomblin, they won't used the non-elected post as a head start for running for it in the next election.
- West Virginia Board of Education members: Some way of reconciling all the competing interests who will have to work together if public schools are to be improved. Hey, you're Santa Claus. You can do it.
- West Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Rick Thompson, D-Wayne: A way to keep those pesky Republican delegates, more numerous than for many years, from building alliances with conservative Democrats.
- Monongalia County farmer and Marine Corps veteran Kent Leonhardt: Another shot at public office serving the people of West Virginia, this time with more name recognition than he had in his race for agriculture commissioner, lost narrowly to Walt Helmick.
- U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.: Relief from special interest groups concluding that if he isn't 100 percent, blindly with them, he must be against them.
- Members of the W.Va. Supreme Court: A year or two without being told they preside over a judicial hellhole.
- Ohio County commissioners: A theme park with water rides at The Highlands.
- U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.: Wisdom to make the right decision on whether to run in 2014.
- Several leading Mountain State Democrats: A decision soon from Rockefeller, so they can begin making their own decisions.
- The American public: A money tree in Washington, D.C. No, wait, Santa; they already think there is one.
- U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin again: Some way to get voters to understand the gravity of a $16.4 trillion national debt - more than $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the country. Perhaps a catchy phrase? How about a new and improved version of the late Sen. Everett Dirksen's sarcasm:
A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon, you're talking real money.

A sigh of relief blew like a fresh breeze across the Washington, D.C., area after the detention of two sniper suspects Oct. 24. The tension of being exiled indoors for 22 days by the snipers strained nerves and routines — and rallied faith resources.
Helen Crum, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Fairfax, Va., filled her gas tank from behind a huge blue tarp. A wedding party at Christ the King Lutheran Church, Great Falls, Va., included two security guards.
D. Mark Cooper, executive director of Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area, noted increased agitation among the mentally ill the agency serves. Immigrants were affected too. "When a discredited witness identified someone with olive skin, it became an excuse for people to be more hostile, less friendly," he said. "We've needed to be more attentive and caring."
Pastors noted dramatic effects on children. "Kids told me they were scared. They thought about the sniper in the middle of the night," said Thomas Sinnott, pastor of Christ the Servant Lutheran Church, Severn, Md. "I gave them little 'spiritual hug' cards with the Bible verse: 'Nothing can separate us from the love of God' (Romans 8:39)." Sinnott urged the children to talk with parents and teachers and to look at their cards when they were scared.
The constant reminder of one's mortality held hope for Robert Holum, pastor of Luther Place Memorial, Washington, D.C. "When we feel uneasy is when we can feel the grace of God," he said. "[Recently] people are more willing to pray out loud. They're signing up for small groups. People want to deepen their faith."
On the eve of a fatal shooting in their area, youth of St. Luke Lutheran Church, Silver Spring, Md., led an ecumenical prayer service for Middle East peace. "[They] had been experiencing firsthand the terror of violence and innocent suffering. They sent their love and prayers to their sisters and brothers in the Middle East, who have been suffering even more," said Katherine Miller, youth director.

Not the 1937 Schwinn. I'm lucky to lift it at all, but the mtbs I have- yes, minus the Mongoose Deception. It has a fat frame even my long crypt-keeper finger can't properly grab. What is the point, to judge the bikes weight?

I can lift my 60 cm Giant Defy Advanced with one finger. It weighs about 23 lbs ready to ride excluding water bottles. I have a hard time lifting my Windsor Tourist steel touring bike with two hands! It's north of 30 lbs. Way north.
