Spending the holidays with your guy's family for the first time is a huge relationship milestone. But between your nerves, the usual family tension, and your weird Uncle Sal's inappropriate stories, it's also a prime opportunity for total disaster. Read on for 10 of our readers' most embarrassing meet-the-parents moments.
A Wardrobe Malfunction
"The first time I visited my boyfriend's home, I bent over and my jeans ripped right down the middle in the back. I was wearing a red thong, and his mom pointed it out to me. Needless to say, I was mortified and had to leave the house in my boyfriend's sweatpants."
Getting Off on the Wrong Foot
"When I was 13, I was invited over to my then-boyfriend's house for dinner. I was nervous and trying to be on my best behavior, but about halfway through the meal, I became more comfortable. Feeling frisky, I found my boyfriend's foot. His dad looked up at me, roared with laughter, and let me know his son's feet were not where I thought they were. I had been playing footsie with his father."
A Dirty Little Secret
"My first time meeting my future husband's parents at our house, I really wanted to make a great impression, so I cleaned everything really well—or so I thought. His parents went to move a chair from another room so we could all watch a movie, and under it was the biggest pile of dirt and dog hair you have ever seen. It was so awful! There went any impression I was trying to make."
Mom Got Too Comfortable
"The first time my mom met my now-husband, we were watching a movie in the living room. My mom was in the kitchen when we heard her let out the loudest, longest fart imaginable. I was mortified, and when I screeched 'Mom!' at her, she blamed the squeaky door hinges. Thank goodness my husband was good-natured about it and eventually decided to marry me, because my mom still has no shame!"
Mom Got Way Too Comfortable
"The first time I ever met my now-husband's parents during Christmas, his mother exclaimed, 'Oh! You have to see what your stepdad gave me for Christmas this morning!' She rushed back holding up a sheer white teddy and matching G-string against her body, cooing, 'Isn't it sooooo sexy?' I know parents have sex, but I don't need to see the bedroom attire of my future mother-in-law hours after meeting her!"
Death by Chocolate?
"My boyfriend's family was from Jordan, and his mother had prepared some kind of chocolate-covered treat that was native to their country and wanted me to try one. I did and immediately fell to the floor choking. It was a Jordan almond, and I'm highly allergic to almonds. I figured he would have told her that—or maybe he did and we were off on a bad foot long before I realized it!"
Grandma's Stern Warning
"The first time I met the parents of my first boyfriend, I was 18 and he was still 17. After taking us out for a nice dinner, his grandma turned around in the front seat of the car, looked right at me, and said, 'You know if you two have sex it's illegal, right? Just something to think about.' I was completely speechless! It actually isn't illegal in our state, but I felt it would be too weird to correct her."
Receiving an Odd Compliment
"His dad walked in, looked at me, and said to my boyfriend, 'You were wrong! She is pretty!' My boyfriend was embarrassed, but I got a good laugh about it."
A Revealing Trip and Fall
"I was wearing these brand-new heels I just had to have, along with a flimsy dress I got to match them. I had gone outside to get something out of my car, and when I came back in, I tripped over his mom's computer cord and one of my girls popped out!"
The Fake Domestic Goddess
"Early on in my relationship with my Southern beau, I took a store-bought apple pie to a meal with his family and tried to pass it off as homemade. Everyone was oohing and aahing about how yummy it was. Then his sister asked if it had milk in it, and before I could stop myself I said, 'Oh, I'm not sure.' Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. 'But you made it,' they said. 'Don't you remember if you put milk in it?' I stood there looking like a fool saying I couldn't remember. Then they asked me what ingredients it did have, and I was like 'apples?' I had no clue what to say. That was the last family meal I've taken food to."

Lorraine is a town in Jefferson County, New York, United States. The population was 1,037 at the 2010 census. The town is named after Lorraine, a region in France.
The Town of Lorraine is on the south border of the county and is south of Watertown.
Settlement began around 1802. The original designation for this area was "Atticus".
The town was formed in 1804 from part of the Town of Mexico (in Oswego County). At that time the town was called "Malta", but the name was changed to the current name in 1808 in order to avoid confusion with a town by that name in Saratoga County.
Part of Lorraine was used to form the Town of Worth in 1848.

For several years, myself and my fuck buddy have had a charity yard sale to help with our local animal rescue team and have been helping them for many years. All of the funds, big or little would help with the cost of any type of veterinary service that is needed. Everyone knows that the cost of cat or dog care can add up and be very costly to maintain their well needed health.
The yard sale will help the team to no only provide healthcare but to also advertise to foster the animals to a needed caring home. Last year we did provide over $1000 and are definitely pushing for higher expectations this year! These life-saving efforts make us feel proud and give us a sense of accomplishment to get a pet that is young or old to a great home. Our big mission is to get homeless animals the love and affection that they deserve!

Baby Shower Dessert Table
Dessert tables are becoming more common for baby showers, weddings, and birthday parties. It's a simple party idea that can spruce up your decorations and can also be affordable. A set of various sized candy jars is a great investment for any Host or Hostess. You can find inexpensive sets at discount stores, or buy unique pieces at thrift shops. Hosting a party can be stressful and a dessert table adds triple duty as décor, food, and entertainment.
This particular dessert table is one I did for an Asian themed baby shower. The guest of honor is having a baby boy, so I chose hues of blue and green. To fit the party theme, I used an Asian style font for the labels, served almond cookies, wafers, and chocolate dipped fortune cookies. I also made blue and green Chinese take-out boxes stuffed with useful goodies for the baby and mommy to be. Each box was embellished with ribbon, a charm, and wooden chopsticks. I printed a Chinese character on the front that stood for "family", "baby boy", "happiness", etc.
To make the labels and "sweets" banner, I used coordinating scrapbook paper, cut slits on both sides, and inserted a matching ribbon. The candy I chose also coordinated with the theme and colors. The candies included were chocolate, coconut, almond blue M&M's, assorted blue and green lollipops, blue vanilla Tootsie Rolls, and blue cookies and cream Kisses.
To create height, I used boxes covered in wrapping paper and matted the top with black scrapbook paper cut to size. I used photo holders and frames for some of the labels and made sure to put out napkins, tongs and scoops for the guests to use.

Journeys of a Travelbug
A Story in Pictures: Connections, Challenges and Chasing a Dream. April 2010 - February 2011
de Nilmini De Silva
Acerca del libro
A number of events leading up to 2010 led me to take a sabbatical from my day job and pursue my passions while travelling and volunteering around the world. This photographic book is an opportunity for me to celebrate that journey and share a few of the connections and discoveries I made, both with the with the people I met and the places I explored. Having reached Antarctica during this journey, I have now fulfilled a life long dream to travel to every continent.

Acerca del creador
I am an Australian artist and engineer, passionate about travel, writing and photography. While I grew up in Sri Lanka, I spent 9 years in California and a year teaching English in South Korea before migrating to Australia in 1998. I now share a home in a northern suburb of Sydney with my partner where I wake up each day to the sounds and sights of the Australian bush. I am inspired by the natural world around me and by the sense of freedom and adventure in the people I meet while travelling. I have always had a 'spiritual' connection to nature and prefer to travel close to the ground so I can better connect with the local culture, people and the natural environment around me. I hope that these photographs will inspire you to discover, pursue and fulfill your own dreams.

Terry Spear
448 p, Sourcebooks Casablanca, 1402216688
About Terry Spear
A retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves, Terry Spear has an MBA from Monmouth College. She writes paranormal, historical and true life stories for both teen and adult audiences. She is the author of Heart of the Wolf and Winning the Highlander@s Heart. Spear lives in Texas.
Destiny of the Werewolf
Hope they're wearing lots of good sunscreen where it counts! But they're doing so to encourage awareness of cutting down on the use of cars. Is it illegal to ride naked in public? Yep, most places.
How does this affect me? My werewolves drive Suburbans. But then they have a lot of pack members and so they're saving fuel by carpooling.
They get naked, too, but to run as the wolf, so they're soon dressed again—in wolf coats.
Destiny of the Wolf is now out, and continues the story about werewolves living in our world. In the debut book, Heart of the Wolf, which made Publishers Weekly's Best Books of the Year, the focus is on the hero and heroine and the mess they get into both in Colorado and Oregon, the werewolves blending in with society without giving themselves away. But in Destiny of the Wolf, the focus is on a pack who actually runs a town in Colorado. To Tempt the Wolf coming September 1, is set on the Oregon coast where the hero loses his home, pack, and is thrown together with a heroine who is mixed up in her own troubles. In Legend of the White Wolf, the title to change, the story is about Arctic werewolves. So each is unique, dealing with different kinds of pack issues, set in different locations and each is a stand alone title.
But all that will change. Fans have fallen in love with several of the secondary characters, so my next two in the series that I'm working on will be about some of those characters and the trouble they get into.
This past weekend I was at the Shreveport Nola Stars Romance Writers conference. Everyone was so friendly, and I met a lot of super writers, published authors, and my own editor even! So that was a real treat! Whenever I attended conferences in the past, I always thought how neat it was when authors got to meet with their agents and editors! Plus, I gave my first in-person Happy Hookers workshop and that was fun, too. I'll be presenting a teen writers workshop this summer, and another Happy Hookers workshop, a little longer version in Toronto in the fall. I can't wait! My mother is actually from Canada and I've only had the privilege to visit Quebec once.
When I was first starting out with writing, a couple of authors gave me some good advice: start the story where the world has turned upside for the character. Great advice. And I'll add: persevere. Whether it's with pursuing a career, publication, any dream you have your sights set on, never give up. Keep on trying, and you'll get there.
Thanks so much for hosting me today at A Book Blogger's Diary!
Here's where you can find me, and I'm always looking for new friends!
Thanks again! Terry

Az you like it: Azamara Journey Cruise Review by Mr Comparison
Overall Member Rating
Az you like it
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Booking was easy through an online agency based in Texas. Their service was magnificent. I had praised their agent to her boss and, unexpectedly, was thanked with a bottle of wine in our cabin as a gift from the agency. We also managed to bring on, declared, the remains of a wine-box which we had bought in Heathrow's duty-free shop. We have few complaints about the cruise but the astonishing price of wine on board, especially after an additional 18% service charge, meant that we drank much less than we would have done. I suspect that the ship's profits would have increased if the price was lower.
Embarkation was a doddle, by far the best we More have ever experienced. We arrived at Terminal J and strolled straight on at about 1.30 p.m. Azamara's paperwork says to get there for 2 p.m. but this is wrong. People were able to board from about 11 a.m. Lunch was available, as were all public facilities. We wish we had known this. Our luggage arrived reasonably quickly, too. Our Oceania embarkation, in the very same terminal a year before, had been long-winded in the extreme.
Standard balcony/veranda cabins are a bit on the small side on these ships but we are used to that and they are fine for us. Mind you, quite how some of the vast, unsightly, overweight passengers (mainly Americans) fit into the bathroom kept us guessing. We loved the flowers and daily replenished fruit bowl, both an improvement on Oceania. An easy-to-use safe was good. The flat-screen TV was fine but I should have liked a DVD player as well - which Oceania have. We sampled the free in-cabin canapEs one evening and very pleasant they were, too. Our 'Butler' and his assistant were excellent. The cabin was kept spotless and they were very friendly. We think the terms 'stateroom' for cabin and 'butler' for glorified steward are plain daft.
We found plenty of people to talk to and joined up most evenings for dinner with very pleasant folk we had met during the course of the cruise. On the last night 10 of us were given the Captain's table for a final meal together. The ship had it's fair share of loud-mouthed amateur politicians, gossips, rumour-mongers and complainers (nearly all Americans) but they were easy to avoid.
We visited 7 ports and they varied from excellent to awful (see below). As a former Port Lecturer on P&O, from the days (not so distant) that one gave lectures which encompassed many aspects of each port, such as history, architecture, places to get taxis and trains etc., rather than simply flogging the company's tours, I found the attempts by Azamara to cover this ground to be pathetic. Oceania, a year ago, were just as bad. Mind you, the port information sheets were better than Oceania's, although that is is not saying much. The TV presentations were so poor as to be an invitation to stay on board! We could have done without the ship's photographer (Oceania didn't have one) but he was not in any way overbearing and, let's face it, some people like posing!
Azamara tries to do too much in its daily programme. The list which arrives in the cabin each evening is crammed with things to do, but they were generally of a pretty poor standard, with very few attenders. The daily general-knowledge-cum-trivia quiz, which on Oceania had over 100 attenders, was a very poor affair. The evening 'shows' varied from good to dire, not that this concerned us much. We sat at the back on the occasions we went and slipped away if appropriate. Essentially, Azamara is trying to put on a big ship programme with a small ship crew and budget. It doesn't work. However, the enrichment lectures, one on each sea day, were excellent.
The food was tip-top throughout and, we would say, up to Oceania's superb standards. We met several people who also had experienced the rival brand and dining honours were declared about even. Each of the excellent special restaurants we had no difficulty booking into twice and the service and food was of a very high standard indeed. But we liked the main dining room just as much. The menu, service and food were all wonderful. The Windows buffet was tip-top too. Two grumbles in the food department. The main Discoveries dining room was not open for lunch on port days (it is with Oceania) and the 'Elegant Teas', served in the Aqualina Restaurant to the accompaniment of a harp, were a very long way from the wonderful offerings of Oceania, served in the forward lounge on deck 10, to the accompaniment of a string quartet.
We made no use of the spa. I had to visit the doctor and this was quick and easy. I also spent a little time at the slot machines, coming out quits! We managed to resist the temptation to attend any art auctions, not least because almost all the pictures on show were hideous.
One thing that the ship did fall down on was general maintenance in one or two areas. Where this showed was, particularly, in the tiling round the pool, which was shoddy, the pool-side whirlpools, which were clapped-out and in the care and presentation of some sun beds (wheels missing, clean but yellowing towelling covers).
Disembarkation was simple. We wanted to be the last to leave as we were going on to a hotel in Miami for a few days, and knew our room would not be ready there. Well, we were among the last but this still meant we were off by 8.50 a.m.
We chose Azamara over Oceania this year because, given virtually identical cruises, the price difference was huge. Quite what the effect of Azamara changing to 'Azamara Club' and putting up prices (to Oceania levels?) will be I do not know. Given the same cruise for the same price we would probably choose Oceania, but there's very little in it. However, since we have no intention of paying anything like the brochure price given in Azamara'a new dreadful 2010-2011 open-out 'brochure', it may mean we shan't be able to afford to travel with either again! This would be a great pity. The few petty grumbles above should not detract from an excellent cruise overall. We have no hesitation in recommending Azamara. Less

Assistant Professor Kathryn A. Caldwell (Psychology) and Associate Professor Julia Lapp (Health Promotion and Physical Education) publish in the Journal of Food, Culture & Society.
Contributed by Judith Pena-Shaff on 09/11/12
Assistant Professor Kathryn A. Caldwell (Psychology) and Associate Professor Julia Lapp (Health Promotion and Physical Education) publish article titled "using food ethnographies to promote systems thinking and intergenerational engagement among college undergraduates" in the Journal of Food, Culture & Society.
This article discusses an intergenerational, interdisciplinary service-learning project implemented at Ithaca College that integrated courses on life-cycle nutrition and developmental psychology. In this interdisciplinary experience, students from these two courses worked in teams to interview older adult learning partners in their community about diet, lifestyle, and personal life events deemed relevant to nutrition and wellbeing, to create food ethnographies based on information learned and then students provided the older adults with individualized nutrition and wellness plans as part of their service learning project. In this paper, the authors describe how the project was implemented; discuss how learning goals pertaining to systems thinking, sustainability consciousness, and intergenerational engagement were assessed; and present the results of that assessment.

Real Estate in San Francisco now Considered Unaffordable
According to the housing and real estate experts, the rent and mortgage costs in San Francisco have reached new highs that some now consider completely unaffordable. There may be some relief on the way for San Francisco residents.
Rent is Cooling Down
The amount of rent and mortgage costs have slowly been getting lower in San Francisco and real estate experts say that they will continue to do so. There are quite a few new homes on the market, and this is why prices are falling suddenly. More companies are starting to build rental properties to entice renters to move to the city.
With the prices still being quite high, many landlords have started to give their tenants nice incentives to keep them around. Some have started to give them weeks of free rent, free bicycles so that they can ride around the city, and some give discounts on rent if tenants are in the technology field of work.
Buying a home in San Francisco
The average home buyer in California cannot afford to buy a home in the city of San Francisco. This is another one of the reasons that rates have started to go down. A lot of sellers see that there is no way for a typical person to afford the homes, so they have to drop the price. The city is driven by those who work in the technology industry as more and more jobs come open for them. However, with the high prices for property, these employees are seeking homes outside the city limits.
The Bay Area is a great place to buy a home, and as more and more people want to buy here, the prices will begin to fall again. It may be a very slow process, but it seems that it is possible and it is happening.

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk confirmed that head coach Paul MacLean will be back behind the bench next season, but he was vague on the future of captain Jason Spezza.
Melnyk, speaking in a conference call with Ottawa-based reporters Tuesday, answered a wide-ranging assortment of questions on everything from his disappointment at missing the playoffs, to increased revenues stemming from new broadcast deals, to his belief that the best way to find success is internally, rather than spending lavishly on free agents.
First and foremost, he provided a sense of security for MacLean, while acknowledging that the head coach had "a bad year," like so many others.
"Paul is our coach, he's going to be our coach going into next year," said Melnyk, who suggested that there could be other changes within the coaching staff and hockey operations department.
While he cleared up MacLean's status, the water is still muddy as far as Spezza is concerned.
"Jason understands what his role was and is," said Melnyk. "He's a professional and understands that he could be here today and gone tomorrow, or he could stay long term and be with the team for many years. (His future) is dependent on what other pieces we need to put together.
"He's one of 20 plus players. You can't put it all on his shoulders."
Spezza has one year remaining on his contract and has a no-trade clause, but the team would be reluctant to go into the final year of his deal without having a long-term contract in place, risking losing him for nothing when he becomes a free agent in July, 2015.
For all the bleakness from the on-ice disappointment — Melnyk's deepest frustrations came when the club lost to struggling clubs such as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames — he painted a happy picture about the business side of the operations, claiming the team is on sound financial ground.
He says the NHL's new broadcast deal and the club's partnership with Canadian Tire are positives. At the same time, however, Melnyk says that doesn't mean he's going to spend to the NHL salary cap. He insists the best avenue to success is spending money "behind the scenes," scouting properly and on developing players from within.
"It's very, very easy to increase payroll," he said. "Any idiot can do it. Lots of idiots do."
Melnyk insists the best "bang for the buck" is on creating excitement in having players progress from junior to Binghamton of the American Hockey League to the NHL.
"There's a graveyard of players who are on seven year contracts at $7 million a piece," he said. "You don't just spend money because you have it in your pocket."

SQL Azure doesn't allow accessing to fields with name like "dbo.DBNAME.FIELDNAME".
SQL Azure MW detect that problem, but there is an easy fix for it.
In the FROM, we can rename the database then use that new name to access to the field :
SELECT DBN.[FIELDNAME]FROM [dbo].[DBNAME] AS DBN
SELECT DBN.[FIELDNAME]FROM [dbo].[DBNAME] AS DBN
When working on my database, I got that problem only with the views, and that fix did the trick.
Maybe that patch could be add to you're Wizard.
Hi Mathieu,
I have thought about that, but I can't figure out an good way to implement it. I would have to do some kind of multi pass parser. Something like writing a full blown SQL Parser. I can keep it on my list, but it will be a long way off unless
I figure out how to do it sooner.

Commentary: Ban Outsourcing? Bad Idea
The uproar in the U.S. over the outsourcing of jobs to India is deafening. On Mar. 5, California state Senator Joseph Dunn greeted an application for a tax exemption by Infosys Technologies Ltd. (INFY ), India's premier software-services company, with an accusation that such companies "want to steal jobs" and "taxpayer dollars." On Mar. 10, U.S. Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick chastised India for demanding that the U.S. keep the door open to Indian information technology services while still being "one of the world's most closed economies." And Democratic Presidential hopeful John F. Kerry, an erstwhile free trader, has labeled outsourcers "Benedict Arnold" companies after the Revolutionary War traitor.
But U.S. politicians better watch out they don't invoke a backlash, India-style. Just as jobs are a crucial issue in the upcoming U.S. election, jobs are an issue in India, too, which is facing its own national elections from Apr. 26 to May 10. India, in fact, is trying to change its approach to creating jobs, and the U.S. could ultimately benefit if it plays its cards right.
To put everything in perspective, it's important for outsiders to note that this is the first national campaign in India where one party is openly campaigning on a platform of economic reform and development. Until recently, socialist Indian governments -- and the labor unions that backed them -- thought the best way to protect jobs was to impose high tariffs and other barriers to foreign investment.
Now the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has learned from India's IT-services companies what a fantastic job-creator free trade can be. The government never protected Infosys or Wipro Ltd. (WIT ) with tariffs; they had to compete with global rivals on a level playing field. The result has been a thriving new sector for India, which, though small -- some 3% of gross domestic product -- has started to convince India's policymakers that lowering barriers is the way to go.
Thus, outsourcing is the vanguard that's transforming the world's second largest country from a closed economy into an open one -- to the great potential benefit of U.S. corporations. Since January, New Delhi has cut tariffs on IT-related hardware such as PCs in half, to 18.5%, and to 0% for microprocessors. It also raised the ceiling for foreign equity investment in Indian banks from 49% to 74%. And when New Delhi decided to computerize its tax and revenue departments, the first $150 million contract was won on Mar. 5 not by an Indian company but jointly by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ ) and Microsoft (MSFT ). That's the biggest government contract ever snagged by multinationals. "Given the huge market potential of an economy of 1 billion people, India's globalization should be of special interest to the Western world," says Kiran Karnik, president of the National Association of Software & Service Cos.
But if U.S. politicians keep trying to legislate a ban on outsourcing, they run the risk of driving India back into the protectionist shell from which its pro-reform leaders have pried it over the past five years. So far, there's no sign of anti-Americanism. But bellicose tirades, frets Arun Shourie, India's Communications & Information Technology Minister, threaten to revitalize Indian opponents of reform at a time when they are diminishing in influence but still vocal enough to be taken seriously. It would benefit no one -- least of all the U.S. -- to turn India's clock back to the 1980s, when even local investors could not start a company or expand existing operations without a government license, when there were strict foreign-exchange controls, and multinational corporations were not welcome.
Better instead to give India's reformers a chance. The ruling BJP is promising a host of changes, including the privatization of many industries and the deregulation of power plants and airports. Some of the money the government plans to spend to modernize India is likely to go to multinationals. The last thing critics of outsourcing want is for those opportunities to melt away. With their attacks, U.S. politicians may get more votes. But in the long run, both India and the U.S. could end up as losers.

It would seem that Paul Wiseman at the Associated Press had his copy prepared in advance for today's jobs report.
The consensus was that today's report from Uncle Sam's Bureau of Labor Statistics would show that 200,000 seasonally adjusted jobs were added in March. So it was a virtual lock that today's result would mean that the past four months were the best for net hiring in the past two years. Accordingly, after the report's release, Wiseman, despite the disappointing news that March's number was only 120,000, apparently just plugged in the four-month total and ran with it:
Unfortunately for Wiseman and AP, today's actual result was so low that it made the related four-month total of 858,000 for December through March lower than the four-month total for November through February:
Based on the time stamp on the report above, the error remained for at least 3 hours before being corrected; I think it may have lingered for several more hours elsewhere. Update: Actually, you can still find a copy of Wiseman's earlier version containing the erroneous "best four months of hiring in two years" reference here at Yahoo.
A report by Wiseman time-stamped at 5:51 p.m. no longer contains the error. But its headline ("US job market takes a break after hiring binge") gives away the kind of shameless exercise in administration aggrandizement and excuse-making readers will see if they read on.
I'll deal with that tomorrow.

Among the phones to be discussed will be the HTC HD2. The last call will take place March 10th and while this doesn't precisely say the 24th, it is a sign that the March 24th date we've seen on other items certainly looks legit.

By Kenric Ward and Kathryn Watson | Watchdog.org Virginia Bureau
ALEXANDRIA — In passing his "legacy" legislation on Saturday, Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell achieved what former Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine could not: Raise hundreds of millions of dollars in new taxes and fees for transportation.
The $3.5 billion package, purchased politically with the prospect of Medicaid expansion, outraged conservatives, who accused McDonnell of abandoning his principles.
"Gov. McDonnell is fast proving himself to be the Charlie Crist of the Mid-Atlantic," Competitive Enterprise Institute transportation fellow Marc Scribner said in a disparaging reference to the former Florida governor who bolted the Republican Party.
A bare majority of House Republicans voted for the transportation plan (34-33). But with a tax load larger than McDonnell's original proposal, nearly 80 percent of Democrats supported it, and the measure passed, 60-40, on Friday.
On Saturday, Democrats also provided the margin of victory in the Senate, whose 40 seats are evenly split between the parties. The vote there was 25-15.
Only three Senate Democrats — Chap Petersen, of Fairfax, Adam Ebbin, of Alexandria, and Henry Marsh, of Richmond — voted no.
Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, squarely blamed backsliding Republicans. Some derided them as "cave" men for giving in to minority Democrats.
"McDonnell took the lead on a $2.4 billion tax increase and oversaw its transformation into a $6 billion tax increase. When Virginians look at their thinner, lighter wallets, they have a handful of (GOP) lawmakers to blame: Speaker Bill Howell, Sen. Frank Wagner, Sen. John Watkins, Delegate Chris Jones, and now, Gov. Bob McDonnell," Norquist said.
Though Medicaid was never mentioned in the Senate debate, the unspoken deal-maker for Democrats appeared to be Republicans' new-found willingness to expand the indigent-care program.
Writing to lawmakers on Wednesday, McDonnell stated: "Please understand that I cannot and will not support consideration of an expansion of Medicaid in Virginia until major reforms are authorized and completed, and until we receive guarantees that the federal government's promises to the states can be kept without increasing the immoral national debt."
McDonnell's office initially discounted reports that the Obama administration was ready to provide such assurances. But amid backroom wheeling and dealing over transportation funding, the way appeared to open for consideration of a larger Medicaid system in Virginia.
Senate Democrats — who earlier this month rejected every transportation plan proposed, and subsequently ramped up lobbying efforts for Medicaid expansion — carried the day Saturday.
A forthcoming publication from the conservative Heritage Foundation warned that Medicaid spending will increase dramatically as the federal match rate for the expansion population phases out and some 400,000 more Virginians enroll in the program.
Attempting a last-minute roadblock, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the GOP's presumptive gubernatorial candidate this year, issued an opinion Friday challenging the constitutionality of a proposed select commission to study Medicaid expansion.
"It is my opinion that the General Assembly may not delegate legislative authority regarding budget or other matters to a committee composed of a subset of members of the General Assembly," Cuccinelli wrote.
Tucker Martin, McDonnell's communications director, told Watchdog on Saturday: "Legislators and staff made changes they believe properly responded to the attorney general's concerns."
Previously, Martin said, "Medicaid and transportation are not connected, and are two completely different policy issues."
In a statement, Speaker Howell said Saturday's final budget amendment "guarantees that Medicaid reforms will be fully implemented in Virginia." He did not elaborate.
While it was not immediately clear how, or if, Cuccinelli's objections were addressed, lawmakers pressed ahead with a tax-and-spend agenda that was less than transparent.
The House of Delegates gave the public little time to review the 128-page conference report on a bill that will raise taxes by an estimated $6 billion over five years.
The bill, made available online to the public minutes before the House approved it Friday afternoon, eliminates the 17.5 cents-per-gallon gas tax and increases a long list of other taxes to yield $3.5 billion over the next five years for road maintenance, highway construction, light rail and trains.
Here's the gist of the bill's tax changes:
- Nixes the 17.5-cents-per-gallon gas tax, replacing it with a 3.5 percent wholesale sales tax on regular gas and 6 percent wholesale sales tax on diesel.
- Increases the state sales tax from 5 to 5.3 percent, diverting the difference to transportation.
- Increases the personal property tax from 3.5 to 4.3 percent.
- Increases the vending machine sales tax from 4.5 to 6 percent in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, 5.3 percent in other parts of the state.
- Adds a 3-percent hotel tax in Northern Virginia.
- Increases the heavy equipment tax from 3.5 to 4.3 percent.
- Increases sales tax on purchasing vehicles like trucks and cars from the current 3 percent to 4.3 percent by 2016.
- Charges a $100 annual fee on all alternative-fuel vehicles, hybrids included.
"It's really unfortunate that all of us, all of us Virginia taxpayers, are going to be left holding this bill, this revenue increase I think of $6.1 billion, and we weren't able to read it before it was passed," said Audrey Jackson, Virginia director for the right-leaning Americans for Prosperity. "The Richmond legislators really took a lesson from the legislators in Washington, and starting to behave like they are. And that's unfortunate."
That's exactly the message Republican Delegate Bob Marshall, one of two delegates to speak against the bill in Friday's debate, shared as he disparaged his colleagues for ramming through a bill seen ahead of time only by a select few.
"All the citizens are flying blind, but if you're a lobbyist, you're fine," the Prince William lawmaker said, calling the bill a bunch of "legal-eze."
Republican and Democratic delegates alike justified the tax increases and imperfections in the bill by dubbing the state's road maintenance and congestion-relief needs desperate and urgent.
"I do think this is our last shot for a long time," said Delegate David Toscano of Charlottesville, the House Democratic leader.
All 100 delegates are up for re-election in November, and McDonnell has just months left in office.
Delegate Tag Greason, R-Landsdowne, who voted in favor of the bill, said that when he first came to Richmond in 2010, he planned to never raise taxes.
He changed his mind.
"But as I think about where we are today … I think to myself I was also sent here to solve problems," said Greason, adding that the bill isn't really about the "details."
Delegate Onzlee Ware, a Roanoke Democrat who was one of the 10 members of the House and Senate transportation conference group that came up with the latest version of the bill, said compromise is painful for everyone involved.
"There are times in life that you have to look beyond yourself and look at the whole," Ware told his colleagues before voting in favor of the bill. "And that's what governing is."
Jackson said taxpayers lost the battle, but the fight isn't over yet.
"We're going to do our best to put some pressure on Governor McDonnell to ask him to amend and see if we can get some additional reform added to the legislation, because this is a major tax increase," Jackson said.
Even environmentalists were upset.
Beth Kemler, state director at the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, said, "It's absurd that Virginia will now single out people trying to do their part to cut pollution with an extra $100 tax. The commonwealth should be rewarding climate solutions, not punishing them."
If there was one silver lining for tax-and-fee foes, it was the inclusion of language requiring full legislative approval of any highway tolls on Interstate 95 south of Fredericksburg — an idea floated by McDonnell's Department of Transportation.
"Tolling I-95 would have been devastating to businesses across Virginia," said Rex Davis, owner of Davis Travel Centers. "It is nice to know that the General Assembly heard our concerns."

Jack KevorkianBorn: 1928-05-26 - Died: 2011-06-03
Cause of Death: Blood clot
His lawyer told the Detroit Free Press that a blood clot from his leg broke free and lodged in his heart. "It was peaceful. He didn't feel a thing," his lawyer said.
Who was Jack Kevorkian : Kevorkian was a pathologist, right-to-die activist, and convicted murderer. He is best known for championing a terminal patients right to die by doctor-assisted suicide.
On November 22, 1998, Kevorkian allowed the airing of a videotape, on 60 minutes, which depicted the voluntary euthanasia of Thomas Youk, 52, who was in the final stages of ALS. After Youk gave his consent, Kevorkian administered Youk a lethal injection. This was the first time that Kevorkian had done this, normally his patients would complete the process themselves. After Youk's death, Kevorkian dared authorities to try and convict him of carrying out his mercy killings.
Less than a year later Kevorkian was charged with second-degree murder and the delivery of a controlled substance, as his medical license had been revoked and he was not legally allowed to possess the substance. Eventually Kevorkian was found guilty of second-degree homicide. The judge sentenced Kevorkian to serve 10 - 25 years in prison and told him: "You were on bond to another judge when you committed this offense, you were not licensed to practice medicine when you committed this offense and you hadn't been licensed for eight years. And you had the audacity to go on national television, show the world what you did and dare the legal system to stop you. Well, sir, consider yourself stopped."
Near the end of his life, he claimed to have assisted in the suicides of at least 130 terminally ill patients.

Your original goal was to be a golf pro, right? What happened?
I had an apprentice position at the LPGA International in Daytona Beach when they first got started. I helped them get their pro shop up and running, and I had my handicap down to about a 4 and I thought for sure I was going to pursue golf as a career. I took the PAT, the player's ability test, a couple of times -- that's where you have to play a couple of rounds and shoot like 150 between two rounds of golf. And I could never do it; my nerves just couldn't handle it. But that was one of the turning points in my life. I sat down with the pro there at the time and asked how long it was going to be before I could really start making good money. I was making $20,000 a year as an apprentice. He said, "I'm going to be honest with you. It's going to be at least five or six years before you can move up." And I said no way, I'm not going to sit here and make $20,000 a year for five or six years.
How did you lift yourself out of the middle class?
Education. I started learning, but it wasn't education in the school system. It was education from my real-world experience as an entrepreneur and taking risks and having some good successes and some failures, too. Those are always tough when you go through them, but I honestly can say, thank God for those, too. Because those are the situations I really learned the most from, so I had some new knowledge to apply on the next endeavor.
Your book seems to strip down dozens of motivational books to their essence.
What I tried to do in my book was to stay away from specific areas like real estate or stocks or small businesses and instead encourage people to pursue their own passion to create wealth. What would they love to do to wake up and make money every morning? That's the key to it. By far, one of the biggest things I learned talking to all these millionaires was they really enjoyed whatever they were doing.
You maintain that the wealthy expect different things from money than the rest of us. How so?

Seems like good days are back for birthday girl Nayantara again. The actress, from the gloom and doom days post her break-up with Prabhu Deva, has returned to her bestowed place (i.e., number one position) by delivering hits on a trot in South. The sexy and sensible girl is turning a year older today (November 18) and we would like to remember her second innings' journey on the special occasion.
A leading daily broke the new of Nayantara's break-up with her then beau Prabhu Deva in 2012. The actress had bid goodbye to acting and she had also confirmed her marriage with Prabhu Deva before getting separated with the choreographer-turned-actor. Shockingly, they parted ways for the reasons best known to them. The industry and fans of Nayan were caught in a confusion whether to mourn her estranged relationship or to welcome her to the film industry.
Akshay Kumar-Salman-Khan Eyeing Arrambam Remake Rights!
Producers did not waste much time to knock her doors and to offer her movies. Nayantara, instantly decided to keep herself busy and signed a series of projects in a hurry. The 30-year-old gave a nod to the Tollywood flick Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum, which registered her comeback. The movie turned out to be an average grosser, but her performance was appreciated by fans and critics. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
Good Words Lifted Her Spirit
The good words by the industry men and fans were enough for the tough girl Nayantara to lift her spirits.
Average Movie Again
After Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum, Nayantara was seen with Telugu superstar Nagarjuna in Greeku Veerudu. But this movie too fell into 'average' category and did not revive her career to the expected level.
Nayan Out Of Action In Kollywood
On the other end, Nayantara's entry was celebrated by her Tollywood fans, but her Tamil fans were a little disappointed as she was out of action in Kollywood over quite a long time.
Nayantara's Gave A Nod...
Prior to her comeback, Nayantara was last seen in Boss Engira Bhaskaran way back in 2010. With increasing demand by her fans for her return to Kollywood, she gave a nod to two Tamil movies.
When Vishnu Approached Nayantara...
Nayantara had waited for a perfect script to return to Tamil films and when Vishnuvardhan approached her for his movie Arrambam with Ajith Kumar, she did not have any qualms to sign on the dotted line.
The Hit Trio Returned
It may be because Nayantara was part of Vishnuvardhan and Ajith Kumar's Blockbuster movie Billa.
Nayan Approved Raja Rani
In the process, AR Murugadoss approached her for his home production Raja Rani directed by newbie Atlee Kumar. As it was a quickie, she approved the movie.
Nayan's Item Treat
In between, Nayantara agreed to appear in a special song in her friend and actor Dhanush's home production Ethir Neechal.
Nayantara's Three Appearances
Well, the good news was that Nayantara's three appearances in a row have impressed audience. Her song in Ethir Neechal became an instant hit followed by wonderful reviews for her performance in Raja Rani.
New Arrambam For Nayan
And Arrambam signalled the grand return of Nayantara to number one position. With three hits in the row, she looks unstoppable.
Promising Projects Lined Up
Nayantara's forthcoming movies are promising too. Her next release in bilingual Anamika, the South Indian version of female-centric Hindi movie Kahaani, which starred Vidya Balan.
Her Forthcoming Movies
Nayantara's other prestigious movies are: Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal with Udhayanidhi Stalin and untitled Telugu movie with Gopichand.

Delmont councilwoman appointed
Delmont has a full set of borough officials again.
Last month, officials appointed Ann Lantz to fill a vacant position on borough council. Lantz, a health care worker, has lived in Delmont for 17 years.
"I would love to be an advocate for the Delmont committee," Lantz said. "I believe that getting the residents involved, specifically the younger generation, would help Delmont thrive and prosper."
Lantz replaces Alyce Urban, who resigned to accept an appointment as the new borough mayor. Lantz will serve on council until January 2016 to complete the end of Urban's term.
Lantz was one of three residents to apply for the appointment, along with David Piper and Tracy Searight.
War memorial
Councilman Carl Boyd said he wants someone to make repairs to the borough's Vietnam War Memorial.
"It needs some professional care," Boyd said. "Someone put caulking in there as a Band-Aid. It was a temporary fix that didn't work."
The monument was donated by the American Legion, Boyd said.
Council Vice President Andy Shissler, who monitors the borough's budget each month, suggested that council should try to not absorb all of the expense of repairing the monument.
"Let's work out something to help share the costs," Shissler said.
Apple 'N Arts
The Apple 'N Arts festival committee gave the borough a $1,250 payment for use of borough-owned Shields Farm for the annual autumn event.
Council began charging groups for use of the property this winter, beginning with the annual Christmas at Salem Crossroads program. Even though the arts festival took place before the fee was in place, the committee decided to pay for last year's use of the park.
Solicitor Dan Hewitt said the money was rent for using the parking-lot area. The committee will be charged for using the property in future years, Hewitt said.

ISAF Sailing World Cup Palma - Three medals to Australians
by Craig Heydon on 8 Apr 2012
Belcher and Page in the 470 Mens medal race - Sofia Mapfre Jesus Renedo / Sofia Mapfre
On the final day of the ISAF Sailing World Cup round in Palma, Spain Australian sailors have won three medals.
The 470 men's crew of Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page won Gold, with Olivia Price, Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty claiming the Bronze medal in the Women's Match Racing competition and Tom Burton finishing third in the Laser class.
Belcher and Page went into the final, double point, medal race with a 14 point lead over the second placed Israeli crew with the Australians guaranteed at least a Silver medal. The current World Champions and world number ones didn't rest on their laurels, pushing hard in the 10 boat medal race, eventually finishing second to take the win by 18 points, the first time they had won this regatta together.
'It was nice to be able to finish things off today,' said Belcher. 'We ended up second in the medal race but had some good opportunities to come away with the win, we were racing with the Greek crew the whole way and eventually they just got us at the line. 'We're really happy to be able to come away with the win in our first event back in Europe, it shows that all of our hard work back home in Australia has paid off,' he said. 'We're in a good rhythm now and know where we are against the rest of the fleet.
'Mal and I have improved in the lighter conditions, it's good to know that we can hang in there and then capitalise in our preferred conditions, like today,' said Belcher.
Australia's Women's Match Racing crew of Olivia Price, Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty has made it back-to-back World Cup medals with Bronze on Saturday following their Silver in January in Miami. Price and crew came up against hometown sailor Tamara Echegoyan in petit-final with the Australians getting out to an early lead.
The Spanish hit back to level the best of three Bronze playoff before the Australian trio took the win and the final place on the podium. The Australian trio sailed well all week in the variable conditions, topping their pool early in the week and then winning their way through to the semi finals.
Price, Curtis and Whitty fell at the semi final stage to eventual Gold medalist Anna Tunnicliffe of the USA but rebounded well to win the Bronze medal.
Tom Burton won Bronze in the Laser class, leading the medal race from start to finish to end up just two points behind Great Britain's Paul Goodison with Simon Grotelueschen of Germany winning Gold. 'Today was probably the breeziest day of the event with around 20 knots and big waves popping up,' said Burton.
'I had a really good start with some good speed, popped out and was first to the right hand side towards the top mark. From then I was first around the top and held on the whole way around.'
Burton was at the head of the fleet all week with the 21 year old sailing well in the light conditions that tested the best of sailors as well as the strong breeze on Saturday. 'I expected to be good in the breeze with all the breeze training we do in Sydney,' he said.
'Although we haven't sailed in breeze for a while and I'm a little bit lighter at the moment so I'm very happy to be up to speed with the top guys. 'I'm really happy with how my preparations are going for the rest of the year as this was supposed to be a warm up event,' said Burton.
'As a preparation for the upcoming World Championships I don't think it could be better, I feel I'm sailing really well and have the same if not better boat speed than most. So it's all looking positive for me.'
In the 470 women's fleet Elise Rechichi and Belinda Stowell finished fourth overall, just two points off the podium.
Rechichi and Stowell went into the medal race third overall in their first European regatta together, eventually crossing the line seventh in a close fought race.
The pair next head to round four of the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Hyeres, France, before returning to Spain for the 2012 470 World Championships in May.
Krystal Weir finished the week fifth in the Laser Radial fleet with the Victorian sailor eighth in the medal race. Weir had a strong week in the tricky conditions picking up two race wins and another three top 10 finishes from the 10 fleet races.
Sam Kivell and Will Ryan were 10th overall in the 470 men's, finishing the medal race in the same position.
The final race didn't go quite to plan for Kivell and Ryan, with the pair breaking their main halyard on the second upwind, but they fought on until the finish and will take many positives away from a strong week's racing.
The Australian Sailing Team next heads to France for round four of the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Hyeres with racing between April 22 and 27.

More layoffs at RIM as it aims to cut costs

Almost exactly a year after Research In Motion announced its starting to lay off its employees to cut costs, the BlackBerry maker is now expected to slash up to 6,000 more jobs…

I always feel sorry for the workers! You would have had to be blind deaf and dumb to continue making the same mistakes these CEFools made! (When I say CEFool I include Elop!)
Somehow they should be held accountable for their actions, but no, they all get golden handshakes instead!

" And Android is free to license". Not true. Microsoft and other patent holders mean a license fee has to be paid by anyone shipping Android handsets. Microsoft and others making healthy revenues from Android. BBM on Android would also be subject to a license fee arrangement.

Rhapis Excelsa
Rhapis grows wild in Southern China and Japan and is named after the Greek word for needle, referring to its thin leaves and fine, elegant form. The latter also gave rise to its common name "Lady palm" or "Kannonchiku" in Japan, where it has been in cultivation as a pot plant for hundreds of years. During that time gardeners produced several variegated leaf forms, although only one, the aptly named "Variegata" is now grown.
Rhapis reached Europe in 1774, but in spite of their love of palms, it was little grown by the Victorians. It is only recently that it has become available in quantity as an extremely elegant addition to the range of indoor palms.
- Varies according to plant selection
- Evenly Moist
