Grace's Law
It generally takes more than a few days to find a rescue, foster, adoptive family for shelter animals, especially dogs or cats with babies who need to be weaned before they can be put up for adoption. Grace and her puppies, (who looked to be no older than a couple weeks old) never had a chance, when only given three days to live. Grace looked to be a pure bred Catahoula Leopard Dog, who, with a chance at exposure, could have found a home for herself and her puppies. Please tell the State and Abilene City Officials how you feel about this senseless murder of a beautiful dog with puppies and that you demand they change the holding period to at least 10 days for dogs with puppies.

Heard the end of the show tonight. Are you gullible? Of course Craig Dickenson will tell you he didn't want to leave and make himself look good. Would you really expect him to air his dirty laundry to someone who would likely blab it? Dickenson could have stayed and chose not to. Believing anything else is foolish. - January 09, 2013

Space Projector is Groovy
Check back to some of those early videos on 60's shows such as "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo" and look at the far out backgrounds. Now you can have that again with Mathmos Design Studio's Space Projector. At a size of 9.75 x 9.5-inches, it consists of the gadget itself with a 12V 35mm closed dichroic spot, a 20W Bulb, and one gel. At a price of $129.00 we think it is safe to tell you that we achieved the same effect with a small lamp, and a petri dish filled with water, oil, and food coloring.

Comics multi-pack memories
For me, the preferred way to buy comics when I was a kid growing up in the 1970s was off a spinner rack, where you could browse through titles and pick out the individual comics you wanted.
But sometimes, I'd need a comics fix, and the only thing available at a convenience or grocery story were these things: Three comics bundled in a sealed plastic bag. And you could only easily make out what the top comic was.
Sometimes, you could managed to manipulate the comics without damaging the bag and peek at the bottom two comics, but it was always a bit of a gamble.
And that was part of the fun.
Sometimes you'd end up with stuff you just didn't like (or, worse yet, already had). But sometimes you'd get exposed to new titles, writers and artists that you did like.
Though I'm not sure, and didn't have a clue or theory about it when I was a kid, I figure this was a way for the publishers to unload overstock.
Possibly, they chose the "top-featured" comic as a sort of loss leader for lesser-selling titles hidden below.
In any event, I sort of miss them, as I do the entire era when comics were everywhere and nearly every kid read them.
Share your memories, if you got 'em, in the comments below!

In my day, there were four books in the "Comicpac" for 47 cents! My recollection is that the comics were pretty current. The Comicpac was a DC product and you can see an image of the 47 cent version on Dial B for Blog #510. CC

The first multi-packs I encountered were Marvel packs with four comics in them - that were around a year old. This would be around 1971. . . I recall getting the Avengers # 89, X-Men # 64 (Sunfire issue) and a Hulk comic with The Leader as the villian. Classics Illustrated Junior were sold this way, and DC had them, and later on, Whitman had Gold Keys -- some of the last Gold Key/Whitman comics were apparently sold exclusively in multi-bags. . . one dealer at a comics show I attended last weekend had one of these Whitman Donald Duck comics going for $ 150 -- too rich for my blood! But I loved the multi-packs and obsessed over finding a regular source of them.

The FBI raided the homes of a number of anti-war activists in Chicago and Minneapolis. The Activists are planning demonstrations against the FBI. Is this a sign of a growing American police state? Former Reagan official Paul Craig Roberts argued that the US government is establishing in the mind of the public that anyone who criticizes the War on Terror is aligned with terrorists. He further argued that under the rubric of terror the government has stripped American's of their civil liberties.

Build a better team
Typically in churches, young people are separated from adults in age-specific ministries. While that's often helpful, Sticky Faith research reveals that intergenerational relationships and worship are a vital factor in building faith that lasts. Building Sticky Faith means leveraging the scaffolding of existing relationships with extended family, neighbors, friends, coaches and teachers so that children and teenagers know these adults are there for them and "on their team."

Jillian and Brian's wedding was supposed to take place outside, under the fall leaves on what should have been a pretty warm day. The day arrived, and the snow would not stop. That is despair on Jillian's face in the second photo as she looks out the window. But from my perspective, and I think many of the guests and finally Jillian and Brian themselves, it was the absolute perfect weather. The summer camp with a rustic lodge was so cozy as the fires blared inside and the snow kept piling up. Jillian did an amazing job with DIY decorations – homemade jam as favors, logs from Brian's mother's backyard hollowed out for baby's breath and attached to chairs, and personalized beer steins for all the groomsmen. Their friends knew how to party with food fights, keg stands and s'mores into the night. This wedding was featured on 100 Layer Cake, you can hear Jillian's own description of the wedding over there.

March 12, 2012Hendry House Wedding // Amanda and Brett
December 27, 2011
I was so excited to shoot Amanda and Brett's wedding from the moment I met them, they are such a fun down to earth couple. Their wedding was tiny, exactly the way they wanted it, just their very best friends and family hanging out all evening, eating fajitas and dancing. Amanda is an interior designer with a great sense of style and a DIY streak, and Brett is a landscape architect and self dubbed 'tree nerd' so we made sure to incorporate leaves everywhere we could in the photos. This wedding was featured on Junebug – make sure to check out more photos including the self-portrait invitations Amanda designed over there. Their adorable surprise first look photo and story was also featured on Moment Junkie here.
Weddings // Christine and Steve – Boyds, MD
August 9, 2010The bride wore a birdcage veil and Louboutins as Wilco and Feist wafted through the air, and a perfect party got down. Christine and Steve wanted to do this whole wedding thing a little differently. They planned a mutual proposal last year, and then actually eloped at the DC courthouse on their 4 year dating anniversary in May. Then, once the pressure was off, because they were already married, they had an amazing party with their friends and family at the Lodge at Little Seneca Creek – a summer camp! I think I especially loved their party because the music, the log cabin lodge, and the atmosphere reminded me a lot of my own wedding. Christine and Steve wrote their own vows and they were some of the most creative and adorable vows I've ever heard – Christine promised to let Steve take the lead but if he ever doesn't want to she'll be happy to step in! These two have style, personality and a lot of love and it shone through every beautiful detail of their day.
Weddings // Jon and Kimberly – Dover, OH
August 5, 2010Though I have enjoyed every couple I've met this year and even cried at a few of their weddings, nothing can beat being able to photograph the wedding of a dear cousin. I grew up with this boy, and it was only a little over a year ago that he was giddy showing me Facebook photos of his new girlfriend. I was honored when they asked me to photograph their tiny backyard wedding with only immediate family in attendance. Kimberly and Jon wanted to keep it very simple and down to earth – they blocked off the street of Kimberly's parent's house, strung bunting and set out chairs in the back yard. Kimberly got dressed in her pink sponge-painted girlhood room, and I stood close enough Jon to hear his quiet gasp when he saw her come around the corner of the house on her dad's arm. It was the most beautiful thing. The rest of the evening was filled with croquet, several hours in a nearby historic town for wedding party photos, and a delicious dinner on the lawn followed by dancing under strings of lights. It was a fun change for me to be part guest and part photographer, and so wonderful to be so invested in this couple's life, an investment that started twenty five years ago and will continue the rest of our lives. Congratulations to my cuz and his beautiful girl.

Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned Offers Advice for Class of 2006
...Distinguished Audience,
It is a great pleasure to be here in Pittsburgh and receive the honorary degree you have generously bestowed upon me. I am especially happy to address this enthusiastic gathering of graduates and their families.
At first glance, Doha and Pittsburgh don't seem to have much in common and I suppose many of you probably don't know very much about my country — Qatar — except for the fact that Carnegie Mellon has a campus there. But it has always been my experience that beneath the surface of differences, lie deep and poignant similarities.
We all share common values — we want to live in a world where we are close to the people we love, where we can express ourselves and practice our beliefs, where we are secure to earn our livings and support our families.
The Qatar Foundation and Carnegie Mellon both try to fulfill these simple aspirations of people. This year the Qatar Foundation is celebrating its 10th anniversary and partnerships with institutions like Carnegie Mellon are helping realize our vision. We both trust the power of our imaginations to change the world. We both believe in a culture of innovation — dedication, quality, energy and confidence in shaping the future.
Looking out at this audience, I feel the same contagious energy I feel from our students back in Qatar. And I have something to ask of you. Something urgent. I ask you to take seriously the responsibility of being Carnegie Mellon graduates — to cross boundaries and to question, especially to question the dominant narratives that are shaping the way we see and understand each other. I encourage you to cross boundaries culturally, without fear, as you do academically and intellectually.
Distinguished audience, we live in a time when we are told that there is a cultural fault line between the "West" and "Islam." We are told that the "West" and "Islam" are at war, that the ideologies of the West are incompatible with Islam, and that each civilization is trying to destroy the other. Depending on which side you stand, one or the other is the villain.
In this narrative both Islam and the West are presented as static and unitary entities, bound to clash. But surely this is not the case. What and where is the "West?" The diversity within America and Europe is tremendous, as are the differences between Europe and America. Indeed the "West" is an association of societies, sometimes in conflict with each other.
Likewise, Islamic communities accommodate diverse and evolving beliefs. Even within the Sunni tradition alone, there are four accepted schools of thought. Within contemporary Islamic political groups, which are often all painted the same color, there are also vast differences. While these groups share a common vocabulary, their deeds and objectives differ tremendously.
So I ask you to think outside the confines of the clash narrative and replace it with a narrative of cooperation. And surely there are many examples of cooperation between our societies. We need only look to the example of Education City in Qatar, where Carnegie Mellon has found a home away from home, to see a community of diverse cultures, religions, and academic disciplines coming together in the common goal of imagining a better future.
We can also look to the attitudes of people, rather than depend on the narratives of politicians. The prevailing narrative tells us that Muslims, especially Arabs, hate America, because they envy its wealth, its democracy and its culture. However, the Zogby International Poll of October 2005, conducted in six Arab countries, concluded that despite a disagreement with American foreign policies, Arab people admire the values of the United States. Even when asked where they would like to live or where they would like a relative to study, respondents chose Western European countries and the United States.
So, it is clear that the basic assumptions underlying the current narrative of confrontation is an engineered crisis, not an attitudinal one shared by most people in the world. The challenge lies upon young generations, critical thinkers like you, to deconstruct this faulty narrative before it becomes a prophecy.
Certainly, we, as Muslims, have not done enough to demonstrate the true spirit of our religion, which is based on mutual respect and social justice. And I ask you to join us by looking closely at some of the assumptions that are sustaining the cultural fault line. One of the most common is that Islam and democracy are incompatible.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me first address the argument that Islam cannot accommodate democracy. We need only to look briefly to our history to show that this is completely untrue. Civil society, a cornerstone of democracy, has always played a vibrant role in Islamic cultures. Islamic society, from the earliest period, has had a system of checks and balances that prevent all power from lying in the hands of the state. For example, the Ulama — intellectuals and legal scholars — have been compared by some experts to the mass media in contemporary society.
Further, judges were also independent from political authority. The high judge, similar to the Supreme Court, was appointed by the ruler but could not be removed by him. If the ruler did not abide by the law, the high judge could lead a revolution against him. Other systems such as Diwan al mazalim served as a small claims court, a court of popular appeal and as a mechanism to ensure social justice.
In short, we cannot blame the contemporary deficits in freedom and democracy in the Arab world on Islam. The blame is to fall squarely on the shoulders of governments in the region, often supported by foreign powers, whose interests in governing are not in the interests of the people. People need to govern themselves and this can be done in different ways according to their beliefs and wishes. Democracy is, after all, not one form of government, but can be achieved by a variety of political systems that entrench it as a way of life. As Al Farabi put it — democracy is the "attainment of happiness."
And the way of life that democracy promotes is desired by most Muslims, who like everyone, want to live in peace, security, and fulfilment of their needs. A survey of over 10,000 Muslims in various countries show that for Muslims there is no perceived contradiction between Islam and democracy.
It is interesting to note that in the poll I just mentioned, the majority of those surveyed also support a woman's right to vote, and work outside the home. Majorities in every nation surveyed also believe it appropriate for women to serve at the highest levels of government in their nation's Cabinet and National Council. So that brings us to another faulty narrative — Islam is against women's rights.
Distinguished audience, the debate over women in Islam is simply one aspect of the larger issue we are discussing, the engineering of faulty narratives that sustain perceptions of difference and confrontation.
And this is not a new debate, nor is it unique to Muslim countries. The reality of our past is overlooked and replaced with an unrecognizable narrative of oppression.
Islam has always guaranteed the full rights of women and women have always occupied a central role in Islamic civilizations. It is important for Muslim women, and particularly women from the Arabian peninsula, to reclaim their own history, to recall figures like Ayesha, the wife of the prophet, whose thoughts and recollections formed a central part of Islamic scholarship; Nasibah bint Ka'ab, the woman warrior who fought in the battle of Uhud; and the scores of business women, judges, scholars and poets that people Islamic history.
It is important to remember that these women were consulted in forming legislative order in Islamic societies and they heavily influenced polices that were to govern social, political, economic and military issues. These same policies are the matrix of our life today.
And it is also important to clarify the reality of the present. For example, the Arab Human Development Report of 2002 showed that the Arab region demonstrates the fastest improvement in female education of any region, with female literacy expanding three fold since 1970, and primary and secondary enrolment doubling. In Qatar, for example, over 70% of those enrolled in postsecondary institutions are women.
Yet we must be careful not to revert to denial. There are problems in our societies based on stagnation and inequality as there are in all societies. But the perceived deficit in the freedom of women is actually a whole-scale deficit of freedom of all citizens in the Arab world, not only in the freedoms of women. Again, let us not use Islam as a scapegoat. The culprit for this situation is oppressive regimes that deny the rights of all citizens, and antiquated traditions, which place constraints on women's progress as full and equal members of society. And it is our responsibility in the region to find creative solutions to these problems, solutions that are native to our culture and religion. Such solutions are not importable, but must come from within our communities from the will of the people.
Distinguished audience, that brings me to my final point today — the will of the people. People in Muslim communities do not want to live in a state of continual war and insecurity; they want the same things you do. Especially our youth. One prominent subtext in the discourse on the Muslim world today is the portrayal of our youth as submerged in a culture of violence and martyrdom, brainwashed from early childhood, whose only mission in life is perpetrating hatred and destruction. Let's look at the reality.
Reality states that extremism among youth is not uniquely a Muslim phenomenon. And, yes, we are failing our youth horribly. The rate of youth unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa is estimated at 25.6% — the highest in the world. It is clear that our leaders have been unable to link educational orientation to labor market requirements. And, of course this creates dissatisfaction in our youth. Yet, despite these challenges, our youth are like you. Their needs and wants are no different than yours.
And what is it that Muslim youth actually want? Polls show they want educational opportunities, health care, political participation, and distribution of income and wealth.
Isn't that exactly what you want too?
Don't we all want to be secure that we can compete in the global market place?
Don't we all want to be able to participate in the decisions that govern our lives?
Don't we all want to cultivate ourselves in a culture of empowerment, security, and social justice?
Graduates, my message to you is simple — do not accept the world you see before you. Change it. You have a responsibility to do this and the first step is to deconstruct the stories which are pushing us into a state of panic and confrontation.
On the campus in Qatar, Carnegie Mellon students and staff are getting to know Muslims. Getting to know each other is a first step in rising above the maddening discourse of hatred that is bombarding us.
Second, in fine Carnegie tradition, think critically for yourselves. In the Muslim tradition we have a concept we call ijtihad, which means using fresh and imaginative thinking to forge innovative solutions. I invite you all to engage in a global ijtihad, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, to forge a new narrative of hope.
And in the more blunt words of Andrew Carnegie himself:
"He that cannot reason is a fool.
Thank you.

It's important to note that this is not a perl problem, any more than the fact that your CGI programs written in C, or Python, or Scheme, or Fortran, or INTERCAL don't time out. It is well and truly a server management issue, and if your webserver (or whatever server software, or OS, it is) doesn't support time quotas on processes then you have issues very much apart from any capabilities of perl. From your description, I fully expect you're screwed no matter what you do, since your hosting provider looks clueless.
Having said that, Parrot will allow time, memory, and IO quotas, with privilege based overrides, on individual interpreters. Assuming whatever firing off parrot sets those quotas. They certainly won't be on by default, as that's very much the wrong default, but it will be settable. This probably won't help you, given the issue as described (since if your service provider's not even putting generic timeouts on spawned child CGI processes I expect there's little to no chance they'd configure things right), but the option will certainly be available.

ICE returns recovered, 'most wanted' stolen antiquities to India
NEW YORK - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) returned three recovered sculptures, valued at more than $1.5 million, to the government of India Tuesday during a repatriation ceremony at the consulate in New York City. One of the objects - a 350-pound sandstone sculpture stolen from an Indian temple in 2009 - was listed as one of INTERPOL's top 10 most wanted stolen works of art.
HSI Executive Associate Director James A. Dinkins presented the artifacts to Consul General of India Dnyaneshwar M. Mulay, alongside INTERPOL Washington Director Shawn Bray.
"The excellent international cooperation between the United States and India led to the recovery and return of these priceless antiquities," said Dinkins. "The pilfering of a nation's cultural patrimony cannot and will not be tolerated."
"Prevention of illegal trade in antiquities has emerged as an important area of cooperation between India and the United States as can be seen from this recent recovery of stolen Indian antiquities," said Mulay. "I deeply appreciate the excellent work done by ICE HSI in getting these three priceless Indian assets recovered. The successful investigations and repatriation of these cultural artifacts underscores the importance of growing institutional partnership, which is of great significance to both countries."
"There is no better example of what can be accomplished through the collaboration between US and international law enforcement via INTERPOL than the astounding results of this investigation, which have led to today's repatriation of these artifacts to their rightful place with the people of India," said Bray. "INTERPOL Washington is proud to have been able to assist ICE Homeland Security Investigations in obtaining the documentation and images necessary to help identify the objects as those stolen from India."
Two of the three artifacts returned to India were reported in 2009 by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), who notified the Indian Consulate about two sandstone sculptures stolen from the Gadgach Temple in Atru, Rajasthan, India. The 350-pound "Vishnu and Lakshmi" sandstone sculpture dates back to the 11th or 12th century and was listed as No. 6 on INTERPOL's top 10 most wanted works of art. Also stolen from the temple and repatriated during the Jan. 14 ceremony was the 600-pound "Vishnu and Parvati" sandstone sculpture, dating to the same period.
The third artifact is a male deity black sandstone sculpture, depicting a Bodhisattva, a popular subject in Buddhist art, and is believed to date back to the 11th or early 12th century from either the Indian State of Bihar or Bengal.
The investigation that led to this repatriation began April 13, 2010, when HSI New York special agents received information that the Indian sandstone sculptures recently looted from India were being offered for sale in the United States. HSI special agents discovered that the "Vishnu and Lakshmi" was transported from India to Hong Kong. From there, it was sold to a dealer in Thailand, and then resold to a buyer in London. The London buyer shipped the sculpture to New York City for an exhibition in March 2010. On April 15, 2010, HSI special agents recovered the piece while it was being shipped back to London.
On July 12, 2010, as a direct result of the "Vishnu and Lakshmi" seizure, a sister piece, the "Vishnu and Parvati," was seized. It was transported to Hong Kong, sold to a buyer in New York and then sold and shipped to a buyer in Basel, Switzerland.
On July 7, 2011, the Indian black stone Bodhisattva figure was discovered being smuggled into the United States at Newark Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. HSI special agents seized it after discovering that its accompanying paperwork declared Great Britain as a false country of origin. In addition, the item was grossly undervalued.
The New York County District Attorney's Office assisted in this investigation.
The last ICE cultural property repatriation to India was in 2006 when ICE agents in NY returned a ninth century stone idol that had been stolen from a temple in Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh in 2000.
HSI plays a leading role in criminal investigations that involve the illegal importation and distribution of cultural property, including the illicit trafficking of cultural property, especially objects that have been reported lost or stolen. The HSI Office of International Affairs, through its 67 attaché offices in 48 countries, works closely with foreign governments to conduct joint investigations, when possible.
HSI specially trained investigators, assigned to both domestic and international offices, partner with governments, agencies and experts to protect cultural antiquities. They also provide cultural property investigative training to law enforcement partners for crimes involving stolen property and art, and how to best enforce the law to recover these items when they emerge in the marketplace.
Since 2007, more than 7,150 artifacts have been returned to 26 countries, including paintings from France, Germany, Poland and Austria, 15th to 18th century manuscripts from Italy and Peru, as well as cultural artifacts from China, Cambodia and Iraq.

Joan Martin, 56, is internationally famous for the great mosaic floor she designed for Perth's Curtin University, unveiled by Australia's Governor- General, Sir William Deane. The witty and articulate mother of seven had lived for 17 years in the suburb of Karrinyup, where she used to give talks at the local school on her art, but she has now fallen victim to a clash of cultures which has left hundreds of Aboriginals homeless in Perth.
Allegations from white neighbours of "anti-social behaviour" and overcrowding, relentlessly pursued by the local media, have led to many evictions of Aboriginals by Homeswest, the state's housing agency. Joan Martin's troubles began when two of her adult children were evicted from their own Karrinyup homes after campaigns against them by their neighbours - including some later involved in the push against her. Eventually there were four adults and 14 children living in her small, three-bedroom cottage - and she too was evicted.
A woman of the Yamatji Aboriginal people, Ms Martin says she was obliged by her culture as well as family feeling to take in all her homeless descendants, but this argument was dismissed by the Equal Opportunity Tribunal which heard her claim against Homeswest of racism and victimisation, and her demand for rehousing and compensation. She has been told she has no grounds for an appeal, although the case revealed that the head of Homeswest's own Aboriginal Housing Board believed that neighbours' complaints were motivated by racism and ill-feeling. Even the tribunal chairman, Nicholas Hasluck QC, found that "there is an element of unfairness in what has occurred".
Witness after witness revealed how the same small group of white residents had fought to drive the three Martin families, almost the only Aboriginals in Karrinyup, out of their suburb. They organised three petitions and tirelessly lobbied MPs, senior bureaucrats, the Housing Minister and even the Chief Justice. Above all, they used local television stations, with spectacular results.
A British immigrant couple, Jean and John Irvin, were leading members of the campaign, becoming public figures overnight as they told how they had been verbally abused by various Martins, particularly the children. After the eviction, a stone was thrown through one of their windows.
Joan Martin said in court that Jean Irvin came to her door one day, angry that her young grandson had been in a fight with a Martin child. "She poked me in the chest and said: 'I'll fix you, I'll go to Homeswest.'" Another white neighbour, Carmelia Kidd, testified that Mrs Irvin had brought up the fight when urging her to join the campaign for the Martins' eviction, and told the court a fight between two schoolboys was no reason to evict anyone.
Other white neighbours also took the Martins' side. The affair was started by "whingeing Poms", an electronics engineer, Gary Kidd, wrote to a local paper. "If I were in their position, with a home at stake, I too might be tempted to mouth a few choice words or hurl the odd stone in hopeless frustration," he said. He had never seen the Martins being "anti-social" - the justification for eviction by Homeswest, though it led to no arrests or police charges.
Another British immigrant, Kathy Hodges, an occupational therapist from Norwich, is among the Martins' strongest supporters. She and her Australian- born husband Len, a retired bus driver, used to live next door to Joan Martin, and are still stunned by the affair. "It was just a few people using every means they could to annihilate everything the Martins had," said Len. "The system was hijacked by a small, narrow-minded group of people, with the help of the media."
In one press statement, the Homeswest director of rental operations, Bob Thomas, said the state housing authority had "gone to some lengths to satisfy itself that the complaints of neighbours were not racially motivated and lacking in substance before taking any action". But the tribunal chairman, Mr Hasluck, seemed puzzled. "There seems to have been no effort to contact the neighbours who remained silent," he said after hearing some of them testify that they had no complaints about the Martins.
The Martins were finally evicted amid a media frenzy largely orchestrated by their critics. They were dubbed "Perth's most notorious family" after Homeswest officials briefed journalists about misbehaviour by children, bad language, fighting, threats and stone throwing and "numerous police- substantiated complaints". Television crews took to lingering near the house, looking for action. A mentally-ill relative, Mick Little, was a favourite target for the cameras; he often visited the Martin home and was easily provoked.
In the last weeks before their eviction, the Martins endured a racist blitz of bomb threats and hate mail as well as verbal attacks from white neighbours, both face to face and through the media. Racist thugs drove by at night, hurling more death threats. One abusive phone caller was convicted and fined A$100 (pounds 50). Joan Martin's son, Dean - father of six of the children - rushed home from hospital against medical advice, two days out of intensive care, in a desperate attempt to protect his family. He collapsed and died two days later at the age of 36.
Early on the morning of his funeral, a TV news car cruised up and down, camera pointing from the window - until one of Dean's sons broke the lens with a stone. A week later the cameras were back to show Joan Martin handing over her keys to a bailiff after television footage of earlier incidents had been used against her in court.
"The police were good, they listened to us. The local media never told our side of the story," she said. "It was just a relentless onslaught against us by Homeswest - at a time when we should have been left alone to grieve. I just want to be left alone to care for my family."
The widowed artist, a diabetic with heart and kidney disease as well as asthma, is now sleeping in a garden shed behind the overcrowded home of an Aboriginal friend, with her furniture out in the rain. Last week she was suffering from flu.
"I don't know how much longer I can last, but I have to keep fighting for the sake of my family," she said. "I'm not sleeping much, and food tastes like paper in my mouth."

Why Are The ITMS Megavendors Not Addressing Empowered IT Operations Professionals?
Posted by Peter O'Neill on February 28, 2011
Why Are The ITMS Megavendors Not Addressing Empowered IT Operations Professionals?
Although now a fully-fledged analyst for tech marketers across the industry, I, Peter O'Neill, continue to dabble occasionally back into my old subject matter of IT management software, if only because many Forrester clients, both users and vendors, still maintain contact with me on this topic. This month has seen some interesting announcements around expanding the footprint of IT management software (ITMS) applications to mobile devices and social media. Firstly, Service-now.com, the leading SaaS provider of ITMS, issued its winter release, which includes many features around its concept of "social IT" with chat and Facebook-like "wall" functionality. I spent some time in advance of this release with Mark Hamilton, the VP of marketing, and we agreed that IT operations professionals are also looking to be able to do their jobs even when they are traveling — either offsite or just away from their desks, so Service-now.com has therefore also provided much of its functionality for mobile employees on iPhones or BlackBerrys and other platforms. Mark was also so kind as to want to cite from my October 2010 report "Empowered Users will Change How Business Software is Served," where I predict that these features will become important. This week, Spiceworks (see www.spiceworks.com), another new-generation ITMS provider, will announce the release of Spiceworks for the iPhone — a new mobile application that allows its 1.3 million users to connect with peers, access the help desk, and manage their IT networks from the iPhone. Jay Hallberg, co-founder and CEO, tells me that the new Spiceworks app already ranks among the top 50 free business apps in iTunes.
I became curious to see if any of the other ITMS vendors offer this functionality. Forgive me, but in the interests of time, I restricted my search to the four ITMS megavendors: BMC Software, CA Technologies, HP Software, and IBM Tivoli. I did not go through a briefing program but just searched for the function on their websites. The vendors may object to this and say that they could have briefed me and I would then know better. But you know what, tech marketers? Web research is what customers and prospects do these days — especially new hires and people in the Gen Y or Millennial generations. Anyway, this is what I found, or didn't find, to be more accurate:
- BMC Software works a partnership. A BMC MarketZone partner called Aeroprise does offer this functionality, which means that BMC Software sales reps can even sell the product. Curiously, the mobile interface is restricted to the BlackBerry, though. More informati0n, including nice videos, can be found at http://www.aeroprise.com.
- CA Technologies doesn't do it. The only mention of mobility I could find was its new CA Arcot software, which can turn an iPhone into a secure authenticating device instead of using a fob and sensor.
- HP Software has its own phones.A search for iPhone on the HP Software landing page got me to the pages selling the Pre3 and Veer smartphones.
- IBM Tivoli doesn't do it, either.Its website me offered me some news about Lotus Notes being available on mobile devices but nothing from the Tivoli group.
I think that BMC Software is quite good enough; people looking for a mobile solution will find something at its website. I am actually quite convinced that each of the other megavendors also has at least one partner that can provide a mobile solution, but nobody has gone to the trouble of considering how to provide the Gen Y/Millennial user persona with suitable information on their websites.
So why do the megavendors themselves not cover that need? Is their marketing failing to collect this data? Or failing to convince their R&D colleagues to work on a solution?
And why are they not at least being considerate of the Gen Y/Millenial user persona on their websites and providing an answer. Perhaps this is just a replay of the classical scenario where market-leading vendors presume that "market-leading" has become a differentiator itself, and there is no sense of urgency to work on innovative functionality. We will see. If there is anything else you think might be happening here, let me know. Both I and the vendors would like your feedback, please.
Always keeping you informed! Peter

Miniature golf is much more popular than miniature mountain climbing, which is just driving a flagpole into an anthill. Have big fun playing small golf with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $14 for four rounds of mini golf (a $28 value)
- $20 for six rounds of mini golf (a $42 value)
Miniature golfers take to a 10-hole course equipped with black-light effects and an outer-space theme, where they'll putt past aliens, astronauts, and other space-themed things.
Laser Planet
Laser Planet's sprawling facility hosts a trio of attractions: laser tag, black-light mini golf, and an arcade. Competitors don vests and equip their laser-emitting weapons before heading into the multi-level laser-tag arena, where they'll be met with techno music, fog, and strobe lights, as they navigate corridors and attempt to tag the other team in a game of PowerPoint de la muerte. Or, they can head to the mini-golf arena, where black lights illuminate bright colors, aliens, and astronauts positioned around the 10-hole course. Elsewhere, a video arcade presents digital challenges, as players grab joysticks and mash buttons gleefully. Additionally, Laser Planet also offers a host of parties and events, ranging from all-night lock-ins, to corporate team building, to birthdays.

Hi, is it possible to raise an alert and send an email to an operator, when some value is inserted in a table? I don't want to raise an error here. Simply send an alert mail having a custom message whenever a new row is inserted.
You could possibly create a trigger on INSERT to dump a row into a separate table and a job checking regularly that table and send a mail when new rows are inserted.
Hi Frank, I think that would waist server resources, it will just be a ( polling type method), is there some other way around?

Oh boy, it's been a while!
We had a BLAST in Disney last week for Spring Break. I had soooo much fun with the kids. And they had quite a fun time, too! We surprised them and didn't tell them until we were pulling in. Got up at 5 am to drive up to Orlando and went straight to the park. They were so excited!
As far as sewing, I haven't had much time! Which makes me sad-ish. I've been having lots of fun doing other things, though.
I finished up another circle for my circles quilt. More to come on this later.
(I know...bad pic.)
And I also bought my first Perle Cotton from Yarn Bazaar. They have a great selection, great prices, and super fast shipping.
Aren't they pretty?
And here's few pics from the trip.
Digging up dino bones in Animal Kingdom.
Eating the obligatory Mickey Premium Bar at Hollywood Studios.
And this I found on my phone. Must have been taken in the back seat on the three hour trip.
They make me smile.
Though it was a small finish, I'm still linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish It Up Friday!

In fact, though the ad shows a plump Ursula, the sea witch was shrunk to unrecognizable proportions back in early July for the Disney Villains Designer collection. The update, just as with the ad, inspired a lot of angst from bloggers who called the villain's transformation "evil."
There was similar angst on blogs and Twitter today.
"This Little Mermaid Surgery ad has ruined my childhood and my favorite princess!!! :'( #Why"
"This is pretty disgusting. Little girls actually look up to these cartoon characters. So, what they are saying is: 'Hey, little girl, you are not good enough for this world with small normal boobs, so get big plastic ones and people will love you." (via HuffPo blog).
Others suggested: "How in the world did they get away with this and not get sued?" and "TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT AT IT'S (sic) FINEST!"
The ad reportedly was first discovered by BuzzFeed's Copyranter on Ads of the World.com, and is actually one of three ads that have surfaced -- with another showing the Frog Prince and Wicked Witch going under the knife, accompanied by the tagline: "We make fairy tales come true."

Does stringing a softer poly tighter (like Big Hitter Blue Rough) give more or less similar performance to a stiffer string like Luxilon Adrenaline at a lower tension? I hit with Luxilon Adrenaline yesterday and just loved the stiffer feel. Felt a lot of control and was really getting a lot of spin, and also great power as the Adrenaline's stiffness gave me confidence and I was really swinging out. I strung the Adrenaline at 52 and I normally string Blue Rough at 54. Have I been stringing the Blue Rough too loose? I am theorizing the stiffer Adrenaline matches up well with my super open pattern 16 main Extreme Pro IG. Recommended string tension on the racquet is 57 plus or minus 5 pounds.
Yes. The tension/stiffness relationship with copolys is pretty linear. So the strings and stringbed are stiffer at higher tensions and become less stiff if you string them at lower tension and as tension drops after stringing.
Racquet Sports Industry.com (RSI) magazine - the bible of the tennis string industry says it does not: "All strings on the same vertical line (string stiffness) should feel about the same, no matter the tension" See: String Selector Map 2010 - http://www.racquetsportsindustry.com/articles/2010/01/string_selector_2010.html
Depends on what you mean by 'performance' because that's a pretty subjective term that means different things to different people. All strings will 'perform' differently. If you're asking whether BHBR when strung higher, plays and feels like another naturally stiff/hard poly I would say no. When you go high with BHBR, the stringbed will increase in stiffness, but the string is still springy provided you hit the ball hard enough and you haven't already pulled all the elasticity out of it. Go higher still and you start going beyond the tension at which the string is naturally at its best. I found that going to very high or even absurdly tensions with BHBR just degrades performance with the ball rolling off the stringbed or not feeling like its 'embedding' in the stringbed properly. Fine for flat shots but not anything spin based. There's simply a tension point beyond which strings do not perform at their best (this will vary from string to string). If you want more control from BHBR, you'd be better off going for a thicker gauge rather than looking to increase tensions. Whereas with an naturally stiff/hard poly it will usually still perform well at lower tensions (though I don't consider Adrenaline to be a particularly stiff/hard poly).
No. Stiffness is a material property, tension is a force. Extremely stiff poly strings can feel fairly plush when strung low whereas more compliant strings can feel very stiff when strung at anything but their desired tension. Two examples: WC Silverstring feels like wood when strung above about 55lbs. In contrast, ALU still feels stiff when strung at its proper tension. It's just supposed to feel that way, much like Bab Revenge. Genesis Black Magic, however, feels incredibly soft regardless of tension (tried it at 60 and 50 and while you could tell, it still had the same characteristic plushness).

Obama reverses FEMA, OKs relief in Texas
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama overruled the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Friday and signed a declaration that there's a "major disaster" in West, Texas, due to the fertilizer plant explosion in April that killed 15 people and destroyed much of the town.
The decision came a day after Obama signed an executive order implementing a wide range of programs to improve coordination among federal agencies for safety and security at chemical facilities.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry had appealed FEMA's June denial of additional funding and requested more than $35 million in assistance. A bipartisan majority of the Texas congressional delegation also pushed for the "major disaster" designation.
"The approval of the state's appeal for a major disaster declaration is great and welcome news for the people of West," Perry said. "This will help this community rebuild their infrastructure, school district and public works as quickly as possible."
FEMA press secretary Dan Watson said that "additional federal disaster aid has been made available to the state to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by the explosion."
The delay in getting the disaster designation had taken on a political tinge in red-state Texas. In acknowledging the additional funding, Republican state Attorney General Greg Abbott took a dig at the Obama administration.
"The people of West, Texas, haven't allowed the uncertainty of federal disaster assistance to deter them from doing what Texans always do – they overcome obstacles and adversity, no matter the circumstance," Abbott said in a statement. He's running for governor next year to succeed fellow Republican Perry, who's retiring.
Rep. Bill Flores, a Republican who represents West, thanked Obama.
"The city of West has been through so much since the tragic explosion in April, which took 15 lives, injured hundreds and caused tens of millions of dollars in damage," he said in a statement. "While I often disagree with President Obama on many issues, I applaud this decision to support this Central Texas community's efforts to rebuild and to recover."
FEMA's Kevin L. Hannes was put in charge of the disaster relief for the aftermath of the blast in West.

Jewish World Review August 7, 2009 / 17 Menachem-Av 5769 Obama an Unwitting Catalyst for Free Market Health Care Reform? By David Limbaugh

Bankrupt: The Intellectual and Moral Bankruptcy of the Democratic Party
BANKRUPT! That�s what the Democrats are when it comes to new ideas, or to defending America, or to doing anything more than protecting their own narrow political interests. Exaggeration? Hardly. Bestselling author David Limbaugh quotes Democrats to devastating effect as a party that has reduced its mind and heart to the level of intellectual and moral bankruptcy. In this startling new book, Limbaugh shows just how far the Democratic Party has fallen, and why there is little prospect of redemption. © 2008, Creators Syndicate

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.29 / 5.00 4,675 ViewsA taste of my 3d which ive been working so very hard on. Thanks to:
Rasp, Radish, Pepsi, Orange, and Milk Clocks. The moral? Vote 5 to keep me killing myself! mwahahaha
***notice***5 minutes was spent on this. I had the missle from a project ive been workin on for a while. Im just bored. check out my other movies.
All the work for the missle was good,
But the climax graphics sucked.
Keep working =)
That's Gotta Hurt....
Hmmmm.... is this a strange case of Flash imitating reality, where this new self-hatred Flash gimmick is based on all the people who hate on you in real life? That's an abstract way to make a real point, but abstraction is what the clock crew has always done best... this would be the first time its done in seriousness and not in comedy however. Interesting... I hope the assholes lay off on you soon though, you're one of my favorite clock crew guys, simply because you're the one that turned me around. Keep up the good work.
it could of been a great movie, but it wasn't!
The missile was awesome looking, but you need a 3D background on top of some neat vibrant, flickering 3D fire to really top this movie off! If you could do that, then it would rock!!!!!
Another good death Clock movie
But the special thing in this one : MountainDewClock killed MountainDewClock.... That's special. Why making movie in which the author get killed????? hehe making it special maybe ;)

Pete before rescue
Pete After Rescue
Poor dear Pete's another story. He wouldn't hurt a fly and is gentle and sweet. As soon as I have his coat sheared off him and he's feeling better, he'd be a very nice fellow to have around.
Pete came from the No. Central shelter on what would have been his last day on this earth. They loved him and wanted him adopted so they tried to wash him but must not have had a clue that they were contributing to a nightmare. I kid you not when I say he was one gigantic mat. The fur on his face was attached from his chin, past his leg to his rib cage. I'm shearing him a little at a time. He looked like he weighed 30 lbs but he's just 12 lbs. His breath made you want to throw up. He couldn't even eat soft food without crying in pain. The vet said in all her years of practice she has never seen a mouth so terrible. They had to pull 28 teeth, he has 10 left. You can imagine the charge, even with their reasonable prices, as awful. His poor nails had never been cut as far as I could see and curved over like eagle talons. I can't think the pain he must have suffered with each step. I think we're going to have to have help with this one. I hate to send in the invoices but between Duffy, the new one rescued on Wednesday and this one the invoices have been dreadful. Here's a picture of Pete before and as we work on him. He's looking bad right now because of the extractions but I'm hoping he feels better soon. Love, Sandy

Debra has represented me in more than 1 way. She was my attorney for my prenup, and also married my ex husband and I. She also was there to help through the annaulment. (No better way to have a guy say I do than have your attorney marry you.)
Also, when my daughters dad (who had child abuses charges on him with his girlfriends kid) tried to get custody she helped me through the whole ordeal. She got me full custody of my daughter, and her dad has nothing to do with her (his choice.)
Then when her dad tried to press charges on me Debra got me off knowing I did nothing wrong, but leave a picture of his daughter on his truck.
Debra has been there through everything since I hired her the first time. She has helped me to understand everything that was going on and I would not have had the courage to go through any of this with out her knowledge and caring nature. I would say she went above and beyond what any attorney should do, but that is just her.
Even recently she is helping me with my DUI i received. She has covered everything for me: Prenup, Marrage, Divorce, Custody, Criminal (DUI, Restraining Order, and Violation of Restraining Order.)
Endorsements from fellow lawyers are an important consideration for many when selecting the right attorney. Be the first to endorse your colleague!

All too commonly, people ask me what to do if their child is bitten by a dog. Sometimes if it's a minor bite, and a little fright, if it goes away and there's one little doctor visit, my advice is, "Gee, let it go." But, unfortunately we've seen some horrible dog bites in our career, with major permanent damage and scarring. And, in those cases, California has what's called a Strict Liability Law for dog bites. So, unlike other kinds of injuries you don't have to prove that the owner of the dog is negligent.
If the dog bit someone, the owner is strictly liable for that. And, as a general rule, the owner's homeowners insurance covers them for dog bites. And homeowners insurance is usually carried at a high level. In California, a good eighty percent of the homeowners insurance policies have liability limits of $300,000 or more.
We do a lot of these cases. I wish there weren't so many, but there are. And, the law is very much on the side of the injured child.

The need to create connections between children and nature has been the focus of great discussion and strategizing as our culture becomes more technologically oriented. There has been a renewed push to re-introduce the wonders of the natural world to this young population already used to getting their information two-dimensionally. The Friends are aware of many in our community who do not have access to nature and seek out these underserved communities as potential participants in our programs.
Our innovative programs offer students other ways to learn, intellectually engaging them when other methods have failed; build their sense of curiosity; and having them walk away with a stronger commitment to being an environmental steward.
We have seen first hand the transformative effects of our programs and know that the students' awareness of their environment and our impact on the land is higher, leading to the potential for this experience to impact other parts of their lives.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Excel file (projdoc.xls).

Did You Mark My Words?
Not only do we "belong" in Iraq, but we should have gone there decades ago.
Not only should we support Israel, but we should be there, shoulder to shoulder with their Army.
Not only should we be in Iraq and Israel, but we had better look to the other fronts. We will be there eventually.
This is not Viet Nam. It's worse. This is not like fighting Communism. It's worse.
In Viet Nam, we were fighting a land war. Now we are fighting religious psychotics for nothing less than the planet. The Communists wanted, and won, land in Southeast Asia. The religious psychotics want nothing less than our total annihilation.
Dominoes falling? It's worse.
Try Twin Towers falling. Others will, too.

What bothers me is that the "peace mongers" won't face the reality that if we drop our arms, the problem won't just go away. The crux of the problem is the terrorists' mindset. They're mindlessly determined to kill anyone who believes in freedom and choice. And they don't want us to convert; they want to wipe us out. Those who sympathize with them are just giving them further advantage to achieve their aim.
Unless we stop the terrorists, there will continue to be attacks on the U.S. and around the world. Our lifestyles have already been changed as a result. Unless we can stop them, we'll have to more and more live in fear. Yet the majority of countries won't get behind us and help. - 7:14 AM
