Comparing and contrasting Buck Showalter, Jim Riggleman
Thursday, September 16, 2010; 12:12 AM
"Buck Showalter Jersey Night" came to Baltimore on Tuesday. To honor their new manager, the O's clubbed the Blue Jays, 11-3, to improve under Showalter to an almost unbelievable 25-15. Weren't the Birds the worst team in baseball when he arrived?
"Have you ever had your jersey given away before?" someone asked Showalter, who has, over a full quarter of a season, gotten the Orioles to play at a 100-win pace.
"Yeah, [every time] I got fired," said Showalter, who's gotten the boot three times. "But a lot of people didn't want it."
Two days earlier on Sunday in Washington, Nationals Manager Jim Riggleman called a 30-minute meeting after his team looked flat in a fifth straight loss. He "addressed the team." So did every coach. A half-hour chew-out is about 30 seconds less than "eternity" to a big leaguer: And now, a few words from our third base coach.
"Got to make them aware - this is what I see, this is what the coaches see, this is what [General Manager] Mike [Rizzo] sees, this is what the fans see," Riggleman said. "If anybody in the room thought that was acceptable, they need to be aware we certainly don't think it's acceptable.
"It don't go under the radar when you have lost 100 a couple years in a row. We're going to figure out who the keepers are and who is going to be a part of this club in the future that's going to help us get out of these doldrums."
The Nats responded, just as they did last September to a snap of the whip from Riggleman, by winning 6-0 and 4-2 on Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon to take a series in Atlanta from the best home team in baseball.
Unless the Nats suffer a total collapse, Riggleman will keep his dugout seat in '11. He worries about his job, but shouldn't. The team is on pace to win 10 more games than '09 and, after being last in run differential the past two years, has actually moved ahead of nine teams in that basic stat, which often gauges basic progress.
"We've had to use 14 starting pitchers this year. You never want to lead the majors in that stat," said President Stan Kasten Wednesday. "That means you've had to use nine starters who weren't one of your five best. That's a big hurdle [for a manager]. I keep saying I'm surprised we've won 62 games."
Of 80 men since 1900 who've managed for at least 10 seasons, Riggleman has the worst career winning percentage (.442). But he's also managed the Pads, Cubs, Mariners and Nats. That may define "mitigating circumstances."
As the Nats face a Stephen Strasburg-less '11, they want stability and more of the solid development of rookies that Riggleman has overseen thus far. So, get used to the contrast, in personalities and baseball theories, on display 40 miles apart in Camden Yards and Nationals Park.
Showalter continues a baseball tradition of light-a-fire-under-'em managers from Leo Durocher to Davey Johnson to Bobby Valentine. They come in full of energy, brains, quips and opinions, and aren't afraid to step on toes. Twice, Showalter has won AL manager of the year. The first time, he lasted one more season. The second time, he stuck around two more years. Just one season after 100 wins in Arizona, he was gone. That's tough to do.

In response to "Tensions on the rise at Children's Pool beach" (April 4):
A group of people have insisted on using the beach, especially during the weekend, to drive off the harbor seal colony.
This is going on during the pupping season. This is horrific. The mother seals cannot give birth, nurse and raise their young or rest on the beach, which is necessary for the survival of the species. Seals are mammals that need to rest on the beach for many hours to regulate their body temperature and to reoxygenate their blood.
The city of San Diego's current policy of shared use violates the Marine Mammal Protection Act, as well the city's ordinance against cruelty to animals. This has been a recognized harbor seal colony since the first pups where born on the beach in 1999. This rookery had 45 pups born last year. It is time to close the beach to the public and let everyone enjoy the wonders of nature in our backyard.
Currently there is absolutely no enforcement of the MMPA. The rope line does not deter people from harassing the seals. The only resolution is to close the beach permanently to the public and make the Children's Pool a Marine Mammal Sanctuary. The city has the ability to do this, as the state has amended the trust that governs this small strip of beach to include the use as a marine mammal preserve. The city is the only body that can implement the change required.
Shannon Player
It's time for the City Council to take a firm and final position on the Children's Pool. This facility was built for and donated in perpetuity to the children of San Diego so that they could have a safe place to learn to swim in the ocean. What is it that our City Council members don't understand about the word "perpetuity"?
The invasion of the seals, vociferously protected by organized animal activists and emboldened by one or more judges, has polluted our beach and its water with excrement and has created a public-health problem. Yet our council continues to waffle in order not to offend anyone.
The seals have now multiplied to the point that they are now taking over the adjacent beach to the south where we swim. Soon the animal activists will seek legal protection and be putting down rope barriers to exclude us again.
The seals are a nuisance and are denying the children of San Diego a marvelous opportunity to enjoy the ocean. The seals are not helpless and are perfectly capable of finding an isolated beach without damaging their psyches.
I know it will take courage to stand up to agitated, noisy people, but that's why we elected those who serve on the City Council. They need to do the right thing and put an end to this mess.
Edward Rudisill
La Jolla
It is appalling to see adults act the way they do toward the seals in La Jolla. For these people to be chasing and intimidating the seals is inexcusable. The seals are protected by federal law. I wonder why this is not enforced.
We must protect our precious wildlife. The actions of seal haters absolutely gives La Jolla a bad name. Visitors to the area are seeing what's going on and they wonder what kind of community would let this continue.
Carolee Hill
Please let nature take care of this. For those who think that the world gives a hoot about our seals issue when millions of people around the globe are famished, thirsty, sexually enslaved, killed by sectarian violence or simply too poor that they have to make mud cakes to eat is an insult to humanity and to our sensitivity. Wake up and look around you – the seals are just happy with or without you.
Fabrice Poigin
The article and photos illustrate disruptive behaviors in the area reserved for seals and their offspring. Were barbecue gatherings and football what Ellen Browning Scripps had in mind when she financed the sea wall? What is next, soccer?
I have long struggled with the feeling that human beings are the most disgusting and destructive organisms on the planet. The story and photos reaffirm my feelings.
Noralee Sherwood
Ask any saltwater fisherman, there is no shortage of seals off our coast. If there were a shortage of seals or if they were endangered, then we should make provisions to ensure their survival. However, this is not the case. This little piece of sand is called the Children's Pool, and a baby seal is called a pup.
The Children's Pool will continue to be open to all visitors. The tables of vendors without permits should be forced to move. If the seal lovers continue to sell T-shirts without a permit, they should be kicked out permanently.
There are only a few seal lovers making things difficult for everyone else. It is ridiculous that local taxpayers are harassed by such activists. One woman has kept vigil in order to name all seal pups born, dead or alive. Beach visitors are yelled at through bullhorns, given tickets, harassed and photographed. No other group would be allowed to continue such distressing activity. I ask San Diego police, the mayor and City Council to protect the public and visitors from such harassment.
C. Keller
La Jolla
There are miles and miles of beaches and parks for people to picnic and swim. Why can't the city allow this one tiny beach to be left undisturbed so thousands of people and their children may enjoy watching the seal pups being born and swimming and resting with mother seals without being harassed by insensitive people who encourage everyone to join them inside of the rope barrier.
J. Thoennes
La Jolla
I have been reading about this issue for years and this is symbolic of the arrogance of our culture today. What's next, a no-fly zone at the beaches to stop seagulls from dropping "packages" or pelicans from stealing anglers' fish? It's shameful and pathetic.
John Oliver
The rocks on both sides of La Jolla Cove – not the Children's Pool – are being taken over by the noisy, smelly California sea lions. When they start landing on the sandy beach? Will that mean excluding swimmers and divers?
The La Jolla Underwater Park will be a park with little underwater life due to the voracious appetites and rapidly increasing populations of the harbor seals and sea lions. I lived near the Children's Pool for 30 years and it is sad to see what it has become. La Jolla Cove could be next.

So the very important posts below by Carl, Pete, and Kate are all about the harm unconstitutional or a-constitutional judicial activism does to our political life.
On abortion: The BIAS of the MSM is finally justified by the Court's decision that anti-abortion SPEECH is unconstitutional. The Court has said time and again that the issue has been decided, and those who continue to speak oppose the consensus of the reasonable part of the community. The Court's connection of the "watershed" precedents BROWN and ROE ties together pro-life speech and racist speech. So, as Carl suggests, the FIRST MOVE of the Republicans should be to insist each and every day that the Court had no right under the Constitution to do that.
On SSM: Carl plus the thread reach the conclusion that there are two issues: "What is marriage?" and what is the authority of the Court to resolve that issue. We can't say that the marriage is a contract between two autonomous individuals based on love. That's not enough to sustain a RELATIONAL institution. Nonetheless, that kind of definition is arguably the "evolved" product of our sophisticated understanding of liberty today. The Court's likely assertion of authority is based on the claim that it can reconstruct every social institution on an individualistic basis. That means it has the authority to end political controversy over "what is marriage?" in such a way as to silence publicly those who have another view of what marriage is.
The truth is there's no national consensus on "what abortion is" and "what marriage is." One important reason is that the Constitution doesn't really given us sufficient guidance on how to think about the relevant facts in either case. It does give us enough to think about blacks, women, and homosexuals as free and equal persons. But it doesn't tell us, truth to tell, what or who the unborn baby or foetus is. It also doesn't tell us what the relational institution marriage is. We do know enough to know that precluding interracial marriage is plainly arbitrary or based simply on vain animosity. But opposition to SSM plainly is based on a reasonable—although contestable—understanding of what the relational institution is.
The strongest (and it is strong) argument for SSM is something like: Given that no one knows what marriage is, it's arbitrary to exclude any understanding of what it is from legal affirmation. But that kind of thinking "deconstructs" marriage as such as a legal category. The Constitution can't be understood to go that far in its individualism without understanding it as commanding a thoroughgoing atomization of American life, without commanding that government not recognize the existence—much less the goodness—of any social institution. Imagine the consequences for "the free exercise of religion."
So Republicans ought to explain every day the deep and unconstitutional dangers of the Court telling Americans what abortion is and what marriage is. Americans are free to figure out what they think about abortion and marriage according to democratic political deliberation. The current trend points to more and more "voting in" SSM, and there's nothing constitutionally wrong with that. But we need more "space" and a more fair-and-balanced MSM for really talking about marriage and abortion with persuasive arguments and minimum possible animosity.

Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011 | 10:35 p.m.
CARSON CITY — A district judge says he will rule by the end of the week on the legality of an initiative petition seeking to ban abortions in Nevada.
District Judge James Wilson heard nearly two hours of arguments Tuesday whether supporters of the petition can go forward to gather signatures.
This is only the first step in a long process to decide whether Nevadans will eventually vote to amend the state constitution on the controversial right-to-life issue.
Backers of Nevada Pro Life must first gather 72,352 signatures to qualify the issue for the next election. And there must be at least 18,088 in each of the four congressional districts. The signatures must be turned in by Aug. 8 for the petition to appear on the election ballot.
If it passes next year, it would have to be approved again by the voters at the 2014 election.
And there are expected to be many court challenges in the interim.
Wilson appeared to side with opponents of the petition whose lawyer argued the initiative was invalid because it did not adequately inform the voters of effects.
Wilson said there must be sufficient information to tell the public what the petition is about. "It requires descriptions of the effects," he said.
The petition says, "The intentional taking of a prenatal person's life shall never been allowed in this state. For the purpose of this section only, the term 'prenatal person' includes every human being at all stages of biological development before birth."
The suit to stop the petition from being circulated was filed by six Nevadans who are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Alexa Kolbi Molinas, attorney for the union, told the judge the petition violates the law that there can be only one subject in an initiative that seeks to amend the Nevada Constitution and the language isn't clear.
"They are rolling many issues into a simple initiative making a number of changes," said Molinas.
She argued the initiative "does not spell out the consequences" if the petition is finally passed. For example, it outlaws birth control pills and could stop cell research that could offer treatment for such things as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and heart disease.
But Michael Peters, attorney for the pro-life group, said the judge must confine himself to the language in the petition, whose sole goal is to protect prenatal life.
The opponents, Peters said "are totally off base and are going outside the four corners of the initiative."
The petition would not outlaw birth control, he said. That would require a law if the petition is approved. "There cannot be any further ban on birth control without further litigation," Peters said.
So far the pro life organization has not gathered any signatures.

Actor David Walliams completed a 140-mile charity swim in the River Thames at dusk Monday, but we'd like to forget the details.
He reportedly endured diarrhea and vomiting along the way, swam through sewage-polluted swill and dodged busy river traffic. Strong and unpredictable currents added to the fun.
But it was all for a good cause. Walliams, best known for his role on the TV comedy "Little Britain," raised more than $1.58 million for the charity Sport Relief.
He started at the source of the Thames in Gloucestershire last week, and finished at the Big Ben in London, a distance almost seven times that of the English Channel and much more disgusting.
Walliams has previously made charity swims of both the Channel and the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Release Notes for Cisco Aironet Access Points for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4
July 27, 2007
This release is a maintenance release and contains no new features. These release notes list open and resolved caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4.
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4 supports autonomous 32 Mb platforms. 16 Mb platforms and platforms supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA and earlier (350, 1100, 1130, 1200, and 1230 series access points and 1300 series access point/bridge) are supported by Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JEA1.
These release notes contain the following sections:
•Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request
The Cisco Aironet Access Point is a wireless LAN transceiver that acts as the connection point between wireless and wired networks or as the center point of a standalone wireless network. In large installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple access points enables wireless users to move freely throughout the facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network.
You can configure and monitor 1130, 1240, and the 1300 series outdoor access point/bridge using the command-line interface (CLI), the web-browser interface, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
System Requirements
You can install Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4 on all 1130, 1240 series access points, and 1300 series outdoor access point/bridges.
Finding the IOS Software Version
To find the version of IOS software running on your access point, use a Telnet session to log into the access point and enter the show version EXEC command. This example shows command output from an access point running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4:
ap1240AG>show versionCisco Internetwork Operating System SoftwareIOS (tm) C1240 Software (C1240-K9W7-M), Version 12.3(11)JA4Copyright (c) 1986-2006 by Cisco Systems, Inc.
On access points running IOS software, you can also find the software version on the System Software Version page in the access point's web-browser interface. If your access point does not run IOS software, the software version appears at the top left of most pages in the web-browser interface.
Obtaining the Software Image
To obtain the Cisco IOS software for your access point, follow these instructions to reach the Cisco IOS Software Center on Cisco.com:
Step 1 Follow this link to the Cisco Software Center page:
Step 2 Scroll down to the Access Point section.
Step 3 Choose your access point from the displayed list. The access point introduction page appears.
Step 4 Click Download Software. The Software Download page appears.
Step 5 Click your highlighted access point and the software type page appears.
Note You must register or be a registered user to obtain the software image. Follow the registration instructions.
Step 6 Click IOS Software and the software release page appears.
Step 7 Click 12.3(11)JA4 > Wireless LAN > Download and the Software License Agreement page appears.
Step 8 Read the agreement, click Agree, and enter your username and password on the Log In screen.
Step 9 Follow the prompts to save the software on your PC.
Upgrading to a New Software Release
For instructions on installing new software for your bridge:
Step 1 Follow this link to the Cisco Software Center page:
Step 2 Scroll down to the Access point section.
Step 3 Choose your access point from the displayed list. The Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Introduction page appears.
Step 4 Under the Configure section, click Configuration Guides. A list of configuration documents appears.
Step 5 Click Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.
Step 6 Navigate to the Managing Firmware and Configurations chapter.
Disable Radios to Prevent Unexpected Reboot When Upgrading System Software
If your access point runs Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)JA, 12.2(11)JA1, or 12.2(11)JA2, your access point might unexpectedly reboot after you upgrade to a later Cisco IOS Release. Because of a rare timing condition that affects the radios, the access point sometimes reboots immediately after the upgrade when the radios are enabled. However, after the access point reboots the upgrade is complete and the access point operates normally. To prevent the access point from rebooting unexpectedly, disable the radio interfaces before upgrading software.
Follow these steps to disable the radio interfaces using the web-browser interface:
Step 1 Browse to the Network Interfaces: Radio Settings page. Figure 1 shows the top portion of the Network Interfaces: Radio Settings page.
Figure 1 Network Interfaces: Radio Settings Page
Step 2 Select Disable to disable the radio.
Step 3 Click Apply at the bottom of the page.
Step 4 If your access point has two radios, repeat these steps for the second radio.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable the access point radios using the CLI:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11radio {0 | 1}
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The 2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.
Step 3
Disable the radio port.
Step 4
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
If your access point has two radios, repeat these steps for the second radio. Use the no form of the shutdown command to enable the radio.
Important Information
CCKM and Fast Roaming on Cisco 7921/7925 IP Phones
When a 7921 or 7925 wireless associates to an access point in a WDS with CCKM, it cannot fast roam because call admission control is not enabled. To work around this issue you must enable admission control by issuing the admit-traffic command in the access point SSID configuration as shown in the following example:dot11 ssid voice vlan 21 authentication open eap eap_methods authentication network-eap eap_methods authentication key-managemenet wpa cckm admit-traffic
New Features
No new features are introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4.
This section lists open and resolved caveats for access points.
Open Caveats
These caveats are open in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4:
•CSCsd99125— WDS may report an incorrect new channel to WLSE after a RADAR event
During DFS event testing, it was discovered that if a DFS event was triggered on a non-root device, the WLSE sometimes received an erroneous new channel report.
•CSCsd90308—Large default beacon size causes blue screen on Conexant Wi-Fi station
The very large default beacon size on the 802.11a band with 12.3(11)JA firmware is causing a Conexant ISL39200C with the Wi-Fi test bed driver to blue screen under Windows XP.
The 802.11a beacon size of with TKIP, AES, and WMM enabled is approximately 285 bytes, depending on the size of the SSID. This is an enormous jump in size since Cisco's last version of firmware due to the Country IE 7 and the Power Constraint IE now being advertised by default.
The Conexant radio seems to blue screen at 235 bytes and larger. Conexant has reproduced the problem.
•CSCse49342—DHCP_SERVER_FAILURE observed in 1300 series in WGB mode
•CSCse48137—Nested repeater does not work
A nested 1130 access point configured for open authentication and root mode station role fails to associate with a repeater and displays the following console message:*Mar 1 00:01:34.822: %DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio1, cannot associate: No Response*Mar 1 00:02:17.603: %DOT11-6-DFS_SCAN_COMPLETE: DFS scan complete on frequency 5560 MHz*Mar 1 00:02:31.821: %DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio1, cannot associate: Rcvd response from 0014.6956.5cda channel 149 801
•CSCse36333—Workgroup bridge client fails to get a DHCP IP address when root link is configured for WPA v2 LEAP authentication
A root access point and workgroup bridge access point configured for WPAv2 LEAP authentication properly associate and authenticate, but the workgroup bridge client does not get an IP address from the DHCP server. The root access point does not show the workgroup bridge client details.
•CSCse40389—Dot1x(LEAP) reauthentication occurs even though it is not enabled
A 3550 or 2950 switch continuously re-authenticates an access point on a specific interval though re-authentication is disabled on the switch side when the dot1x method is LEAP.
Continuous re-authentication does occur when the dot1x authentication method is FAST.
•CSCse41589—Workgroup bridge fails to get a DHCP IP address after a successful EAP-FAST authentication to the root access point
The workgroup bridge is able to ping the root access point and wired host if BVI1 is assigned with a static IP address. Occasionally, the workgroup bridge is assigned a DHCP IP address after a long period of time (about 15 to 20 minutes).
The failure to obtain a DHCP IP address is not observed when the the workgroup bridge uses LEAP authentication.
•CSCse42464—Access point fails to retrieve certificate from certificate authority server using GUI
Certificate is obtained correctly when using the CLI.
•CSCse48448—Workgroup bridge non-native VLAN configuration blocks switch native VLAN port
The workgroup bridge are associated to the root access point but the switch port (VLAN1) is blocked by spanning-tree with the following error message:3750Switch#3w2d: %SPANTREE-2-RECV_PVID_ERR: Received BPDU with inconsistent peer vlan id 2 on GigabitEthernet1/0/1 VLAN1.3w2d: %SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_LOCAL: Blocking GigabitEthernet1/0/1 on VLAN0001. Inconsistent local vlan.3750Switch#
•CSCse09744—SSID config page for NAC for MBSSID on the GUI does not have the ability to tie a VLAN name to the VLAN in the SSID configuration page
On the SSID page, the VLAN fields exists but no fields exist to link the VLAN name. To add a VLAN name associated with the VLAN requires navigating to the Services VLAN page.
Resolved Caveats
These caveats are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JA4:
A device running Cisco IOS software that has Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) enabled may be subject to a denial of service (DoS) attack. For the device to be affected by this vulnerability the device also has to have certain Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) services enabled. To exploit this vulnerability an offending IPv6 packet must be targeted to the device. Packets that are routed throughout the router can not trigger this vulnerability. Successful exploitation will prevent the interface from receiving any additional traffic. The only exception is Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) service, which if exploited, will cause the device to crash. Only the interface on which the vulnerability was exploited will be affected.
Cisco is providing fixed software to address this issue. There are workarounds available to mitigate the effects of the vulnerability.
This advisory is posted at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20080326-IPv4IPv6.
•CSCsj44081—Cisco IOS Software has been enhanced with the introduction of additional software checks to signal improper use of data structures. This feature has been introduced in select Cisco IOS Software releases published after April 5, 2007.
Details: The %DATACORRUPTION-1-DATAINCONSISTENCY error message is preceded by a timestamp: May 17 10:01:27.815 UTC: %DATACORRUPTION-1-DATAINCONSISTENCY: copy error. The error message is then followed by a traceback.

This tiny town around the ancient mineral springs
has always been a major attraction for visitors. In 1776, George
Washington, his family, and colonial cronies incorporated the
settled area as the town of Bath, named after the celebrated
English resort. Although the town is still officially Bath, since
the early 19th century, it has been known by the post office name
of Berkeley Springs.
Each February, the town hosts a three-month-long
celebration of the healing power of water. It features a Tasting of
Waters competition with waters from all over the world. The
10-year-old event also celebrates the nation's first spa with
demonstrations and social events. It has gained international
recognition as one of the largest and longest-running events of its
kind. Project is documented with photos, slides, a videotape of
national and local news coverage, promotional materials and written

Not the typical roadside memorial in National City
"Yeah, eight years. We come out every year on the night it happened."
Edward Magdaleno noon, Sept. 21
Fulano's father played the saxophone in bands when he was in his 20′s. That was during the Great Depression and Prohibition, when one of the only good-paying and regular jobs was work in speakeasy's. Fulano's father worked in several such joints in Akron, Ohio. The speakeasy's and gin joints had gambling, which was also very profitable. The games were all rigged. The most common way to rig a crap game is not to use loaded dice. Instead, shills and ringers were used to fleece the marks. Here is how it works:
The game of craps looks complicated, but it is not. A player throws a pair of dice, which has 36 possible combinations. If the player throws a 7 or 11 on the very first first toss, he wins. If the player throws a 2,3 or 12 on the first throw, he loses. A 2,3 or 12 is called "craps," hence the name of the game. If the player tosses any other combination on the first throw (4,5,6,8,9 or 10) this is called his "point". In order to win after getting a "point," the players keeps throwing the dice until he either throws his "point" again or he throws a 7. So, if he tosses the dice and they come up with his point before he tosses a 7, he wins. If he tosses a 7 first, he loses. That is the game.
This is what a crap table looks like: It is a long, rectangular table with high sides all around. The player stands on one end, and tosses the dice so that they tumble and hit the opposite side and come to rest on the far side of the table from where he is standing.
In a bust-out joint all the players on one end of the crap table are shills who work for the house and make bets, pretending to be players. They crowd around and elbow out anybody who is not a shill, thereby preventing anyone not a shill from standing on their end of the crap table. The "marks" play from the other end of the table.
The table is long and narrow, and a person tossing the dice from one end cannot see the combination on the dice down on the other end. The stickman, who stands near the middle of the crap table calls out the number tossed for everybody to hear. He then pulls in the dice with the stick and delivers them to the player for the next toss.
Whenever a "mark" gets a point, he has to keep rolling until his point appears again and he wins, or he rolls a 7 and he loses. In a bust-out joint, after a "mark" gets a point, the stickman will call out "7″ on his next toss — no matter what the real number was. All the shills down at the end where the dice landed will groan in disappointment, and reaffirm the stickman's call. The "mark" loses, as he thinks he threw a 7. In reality, the "mark" was the only real player at the table and he was ripped-off.

BAR1 debuted the new spec L2 car June 9th at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio at the Diamond Cellar Classic.
BAR1 Motorsports and the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron returns to action this weekend at Lime Rock Park for the annual Northeast Grand Prix.
The team rejoins the hunt for the Prototype Challenge Championship with Kyle Marcelli with Chris Cumming driving the No. 8 Evident Capital car and Tomy Drissi with Rusty Mitchell driving No. 7 The Wolverine [movie] car.
BAR1 debuted the new spec L2 car June 9th at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio at the Diamond Cellar Classic. This was the first new spec L2 car entered and raced in the series since the 2013 rule change.
Driven by team owner, Brian Alder and sponsored by Auto Max USA, Premier Graphics and OMP, the car took top honors in both races and set a new track record along the way. While Alder has experience in all facets of sports car racing, this was his first time participating as a driver.
Alder was extremely pleased with his performance at Mid Ohio and is now anxious to get back to the ALMS Championship chase.
"We are excited to get back to action after the long break. Although we've really made the most it.
"We had a very productive test in June, and a successful race weekend at Mid Ohio where we made our teams first appearance in the IMSA Cooper Tires Prototype Lites Series."
Set in the lush hills of Lakeville, Connecticut, Lime Rock Park is 1.5 miles up hill and down. The track appears deceivingly simple, though it is a serious challenge to get around the circuit quickly. With nearly forty competitors running in five different classes, you need to run clean and be patient.
Alder is very optimistic about the team's chances this weekend.
"Lime Rock has been a good track for us. We had a fast car last year with Kyle qualifying at the pole position. So, we're confident we'll have a strong showing this year with both cars."
"Tomy and Rusty will be running The Wolverine movie livery on the No. 7 car and it looks great.
The American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park is set for 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 6 with live coverage on ESPN2 and ESPN3.

Is it possible for Adderall XR (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) at a dosage of 20 mg can exacerbate trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) or dermatillomania (compulsive picking at skin)?
Both trichotillomania and dermatillomania are by definition behavioral tics. Tics are repetitive behaviors that have no purpose. Stimulants (Adderall and other medications for ADHD are stimulants) have been demonstrated to exacerbate tics. As such, they could certainly exacerbate either one of the two conditions you mention.
However, it is not always the case that stimulants worsen tics. In some research on this subject, the effect of stimulants has been found to be neutral. It appears to be different for each, individual person.
If this is a problem for you or someone you know, it should be addressed with the prescribing physician by experimenting with different doses as well as placebos and tracking the behavioral response.

It is said that the kissing scene in Ready is just a replica of the one in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Salman had planted a peck on his heroine's cheek when she was not aware of the act in the film. In Ready too, he has done a similar act to Asin when she is unaware.
Ready, which is a remake of Telugu film Ready, is directed by Anees Bazmee and features Paresh Rawal, Arya Babbar and Mahesh Manjrekar in supporting roles.. It is scheduled for release on June 3.

I'm trying to import a data set from a CSV file. This works correctly except that blank values don't get inserted as NULL. I have to manually set NULL (Shift+Ctrl+N).
Do I need to set a special character in the CSV or am I missing something?
How do I import NULL
Chillbo posted 9 years ago in Import/Export
ansgar posted 9 years ago
An empty value is not a NULL value, it's just an empty string, just like it gets imported. There is no way to detect a NULL value in a CSV file.
Chillbo posted 9 years ago
OK - thanks for the help. I'll look in to a CSV to SQL conversion to see if I can do it that way (unless there is a better method?).
ansgar posted 9 years ago
I guess if you do not find something related in the LOAD DATA documentation on www.mysql.com the chance is very low that somebody can fix it for you.

Napoleon Bonaparte was considered an outsider even through the eyes of his own followers, yet he led France to its greatest period of historic influence. He stands in company of Alexander the Great as two of the most feared military commanders of all time. As a leader Napoleon Bonaparte brought France to unprecedented heights of glory, only to see it all unravel do to his arrogance and hunger for even more power.
The French Napoleon 20 Franc commemorates all of Napoleon Bonapartes efforts as a world leader. This beautiful gold coin from the early nineteenth century glorifies the monumental legacy of a man who continues to influence the world to this day.
Note: Some of the earliest of these coins are not dated using the normal Gregorian system. They were dated using the French Revolutionary Calendar system. This calendar began on September 22nd 1792, the date the French Republic started, though it was not actually used until November 24th 1793. The calendar was abolished on January 1st 1806. Coins dated using this system will have a date such as "AN 12"

Stop thinking about having a smoke, right now!
New research shows that, if you happen to be a smoker trying to kick the habit, this is about the worst thing someone can say to you.
(If you're not a smoker, try this: Whatever you do, do not think about a pink elephant.)
See, you're thinking about one right now, aren't you?
A study out of Oxford University suggests that "No smoking" signs actually encourage people to smoke more, by increasing their nicotine cravings through the power of suggestion. (Take pity, then, on the poor smoker trapped in a flight from Toronto to Vancouver and stuck staring at that crossed-out cigarette next to the seatbelt sign.)
"If you're a smoker walking down a street, you're likely to pass five or six of these signs in windows or on doors," Brian Earp, the lead researcher, explained to the Daily Mail this week, also offering up the "pink elephant" test. "If you have a chronically positive attitude to smoking, this could boost your craving."
Mr. Earp presented his findings today at an annual meeting of the British Psychological Society in Glasgow. In his experiment, the researchers showed a group of American smokers various photographs, some with no-smoking signs in the periphery, others with the signs blacked out. He then used a "joystick test" to determine whether the smokers, who had shown no interest in smoking prior to the test, were now oriented toward having one.
His findings suggest that public health messages would do better to encourage positive behaviour rather than slap a red line through the negative actions, such as smoking or drug use.
"My hunch is that having all this 'don't do this' information out there may have ironic consequences."
The next question is: If no-smoking signs and the like don't work, what should they say?

Well Enuff's photo tells a story and gives a unique perspective on what is in store after the pre-ride check.
It's good to be back at the helm of the MotoUSA Photo of the Week! I've been on the road shooting and slaving away in front of editing programs to support the 2011 Adventure Touring Shootout. A big thanks to the keeper of the asylum, Ken Hutchison for filling in. There has been a sizable amount of photos uploaded as of late, and I love to see it. So let's get into who gets the props this week.
Well Enuff posted a very creative image a while back that I find myself returning to every week when I look for the POTW. Although in a technical sense the shot is not as good as others, the forethought to set this scene up makes it a winner. It definitely tells a story, as Well Enuff goes through his pre-ride inspection before heading out on his Ninja 500. Shooting the reflection adds another element to create interest in what would be a rather boring photo if shot straight on. Great eye, Well Enuff. You are now added to the pool that is in the hunt for the $500 worth of EVS gear for the Photo of the Year.
Packing light with familiar equipment will reward you with more photos and less time on the side of the road.
This week's photo tip comes from my time on our adventure bike shootout. When preparing for a trip where space is at a premium you are not always able to bring your whole kit. So how do you decide what you need, and what you don't? Instead of packing what you think you need, pack what you use the most. What is your go-to lens? What case or strap is the one you always reach for? Don't bring something that might only get used once, even though that one shot would be epic. Conditions are rarely perfect on long journeys and time is usually of the essence, so stick with what you know best to raise your overall average of usable images. Pack light and save room for more clean socks, trust me on this one. Until next week, happy riding and shooting.

Unity Games and Black Tower Studios are set to bring fantasy-themed action game Archangel to iOS and Android devices later this month. The game promises 'console-quality visuals,' as players take control of the Archangel, an Angel of Justice tasked with defeating evil forces and ensuring they never again rise up.
The action RPG offers a 3D isometric world for exploration across 30 levels of combat. Players can attack with traditional weapons or with the game's hefty magic system, which will allow gamers to draw symbols on the screen relating to specific spells. Depending on the gesture, players may call down a lightning storm, unleash energy beams, freeze their enemies, or even teleport the Archangel across the screen.
As players complete levels, they'll be able to upgrade the Archangel's armor and weapons to increase his stats. The game includes an adaptive difficulty system, which will alter the difficulty level in relation to a player's ability and experience. In this way, Unity Games and Black Tower Studios hope to offer the same amount of fun to both novices and experienced mobile gamers.
Archangel is scheduled for release on iOS and Android on January 9 for $4.99. Check back soon to follow the game on AppData, our tracking service for mobile and social apps and developers.

A new study from the professional services firm BDO shows that expectations among chief financial officers at the nation's largest retailers call for challenging economic conditions to remain in place. One hundred CFOs at retailers with sales ranging from $100 million to $100 billion shared their views with BDO, and 82% said they expected to see a continuation of stagnant economic conditions; 9% said they expected a double dip recession and another 9% were looking for an ongoing turnaround.
Amajority (78%) of retail CFOs cited an ongoing economic turnaround as most dependent upon lower unemployment or consistent improvement in consumer confidence and spending. Don't really need to be a CFO to know that employment and consumer confidence are key drivers of spending.
"Even with the slight improvements we've seen in recent consumer confidence numbers, the weak job market is darkening consumer's long-term outlook. Retailers simply cannot answer the question 'What will improve the job market in the United States?'" said Al Ferrara, National Director of BDO's retail and consumer product practice. "An unemployment rate of 9.6% shows that a pint size recovery persists. In addition, the back-to-school season proved that offering deep discounts and value-oriented items remains critical." The survey was conducted on behalf of BDO by Market Measurement Inc. whose interviewers spoke directly to CFOs.
Financial firm CIT Group is also out with a survey, theirs looks more closely at mid-sized retailers, and respondents are cautiously optimistic about spending during the holiday and the next 12 months. According to CIT, 65% of the retailers and 69% of the suppliers surveyed said they expect spending to return to 2007 levels by the end of 2011.
"While the majority of retailers are cautiously optimistic about their future, more than two-thirds expect revenues to grow over the next 12 months," said Burt Feinberg, managing director and industry group head of retail finance at CIT. "The general consensus is that, having weathered the economic downturn, most retailers are in better shape today than in 2009 and have positioned themselves well to meet future consumer demand when it returns."
The report is based on the results of two surveys and a series of one-on-one interviews conducted by Forbes Insights in July and August. In the first survey, 111 executives and financial decision makers at middle market retailers were surveyed. All companies had revenues of $25 million to $1 billion. Respondents represented a broad range of retail segments including specialty apparel, consumer electronics, appliances, sporting goods, convenience stores, housewares and discount chains. In the second survey, an additional 150 executives and financial decision makers at suppliers to the middle market retail sector were surveyed.

D.C. United defender James Riley was one of six players who stuck around after training on a pleasant Tuesday morning in the nation's capital to put in a little extra work.
Riley, a nine-year MLS veteran, joined United via a trade before the season and has started two of the clubs three matches at right back.
Despite United recording two clean sheets in those three matches, Riley's not pleased with his early-season form. And it's not just because of the own goal he scored in D.C.'s 2-0 loss against Houston.
"It feels good to get out and play with this club. It's been great," Riley said. "But obviously, I feel like my performances have been sub-par, so that's a challenge to myself. I hold myself to a high standard. I'm the biggest critic of myself. As long as I continue to grow, continue to do the right thing every day meshing with the group, I think in the long run things will be good."
Riley played for Chivas USA last season before being traded for a draft pick and sided with Seattle, San Jose and New England before that. During his time in the league, he's logged 17,626 minutes and has assisted 16 goals. United coach Ben Olsen favors him as a back who can get forward when necessary and join the attack.
"I'm glad I have the freedom to do so much running," Riley said. "I'm always trying to support my right mid which is Nick [DeLeon] and to obviously stay connected with BMac [Brandon McDonald]. It's a pull between those two and not only committing going forward, but I think everyone likes to combine and get forward and look to get crosses in. And obviously wanting to do due diligence on the defensive side."
While no one's expecting Riley to be as dynamic as Andy Najar, who was transferred to RSC Anderlecht before the season, was after his shift to right back, Riley has proven he can play solid defense, contribute when necessary and understands the complexity of the position.
"I think in my old age I'm a bit more mindful of blowing forward," Riley said. "You want to maintain a balance and be an outlet for the backs and midfielders and be able to connect the game. It's what I've always been known for. I want to continue to do that, be simple, be consistent, be durable and be reliable. Those are the things I'm looking for."

Hobbesian politics
Hobbes believed that self-preservation was everyone's fundamental natural instinct. He believed it was essential to ground political philosophy on this basic principle.
Hobbes distinguished the
of nature (the rules that tell us how to preserve
ourselves) from the right of nature
- our freedom to do anything (including killing and eating others)
that seems necessary to this end.
Hobbes' definition of the law of nature was very different from that used by traditional natural law theorists. They saw natural law as the basic moral precepts that every civilized nation acknowledged. Many equated Natural Law with the Ten Commandments.
Hobbes argued that from self-preservation we could deduce the obligation to seek peace, avoid drunkenness and gluttony, and so on.
Natural law commanded people to seek peace as the
readiest way to personal security. However, until civil society was
created the state of nature was a state of war:
Self-preservation requires utilizing natural resources and - if necessary - using force to take them from others. Conflict was inevitable where resources were scarce or where arrogant people tried to dominate and exploit others. Since people are roughly equal in physical strength and intelligence, this struggle could never be resolved.
In a state of anarchy, the continual danger of theft
and enslavement meant that even those peaceably inclined might often
feel that the only rational course would be to launch a pre-emptive
People might temporarily establish a truce with their
neighbors and agree to cooperate but - without some power to enforce
the agreement - neither side could ever be sure it would be
kept. Indeed, if there appeared any risk others might renege on the
agreement, the only rational course would be to try and gaining
advantage by breaking it first.
In a state of nature it would be absurd and
self-destructive to observe
traditional Christian morality - the
battle would go to the strong and deceitful.
The state of nature/ war is so dangerous and unpleasant that everyone would try to escape it and establish some more secure arrangements.
The Covenant
|As long as each individual decides
personally the best means of preservation, conflict is
Hobbes thought the way to escape this was for everyone - except the sovereign - to renounce their right and to promise to use their power in support of the sovereign's decisions. (That sovereign could be a single person or an assembly).
Once everyone has agreed to accept and enforce the sovereign's decisions, it will be possible to impose peace and order.
Unlike earlier - unenforceable - agreements, the covenant establishing the state would create the coercive authority able to enforce it.
Hobbes thought that people could not surrender their power of self-defense, but held that they must give up all their other natural rights. If people gave up only some of their rights - granting the sovereign limited power - who would be judge of any infringement? Anarchy would rapidly return if any disgruntled citizen could decide to resist the sovereign.
Hobbes followed Bodin in regarding sovereignty as absolute and indivisible. Bodin thought that the sovereign should respect his subjects' property rights (except in emergencies) but Hobbes afforded subjects no property rights at all against the sovereign.
In the state of nature/war, property did not exist. People might agree (say) to divide a certain field between them, but without a coercive power, either side could renege on the bargain whenever it was convenient. (Not to mention outsiders, who might intrude).
Property exists only after the creation of a
sovereign power capable of enforcing contracts.
|In Hobbes' view, just as property is the creation of the state, so is marriage. A couple in the state of nature might agree to mutual fidelity and child support, but there would be nothing to stop either breaking their word if so inclined. Only with the creation of the state could marriage contracts be enforced, therefore the rules of marriage (regarding adultery, divorce, polygamy, &c.) were all at the discretion of the state's laws.
Earlier absolutist thinkers, such as Bodin, had argued
that obedience to the sovereign was always limited - nobody should
obey a sovereign who ordered the breach of fundamental moral laws
instituted by God. Hobbes stripped away the substantive moral content
of natural law. A subject should obey the sovereign's orders in any case except where
personal survival was at issue.
Hobbes was a thoroughgoing
nominalist: he believed
that general terms are simply names, and that they do not represent anything
that really exists. Truth "consisteth in the right ordering of names in
our affirmations", and reason "is nothing but reckoning (that is,
adding and subtracting) of the consequences of general names agreed
upon for the marking and signifying of our thoughts."
|"It belongeth therefore to him that hath the sovereign power to be judge, or constitute all judges of opinions and doctrines, as a thing necessary to peace; thereby to prevent discord and civil war".
These views predictably outraged Christians who believed that God's will determined what was right and wrong, and regarded Hobbes' theory as an indication of his atheism.
Hobbes recognized that covenants had not established all states.
Conquest could lead to the creation of the state when the conquered population agreed to obey the victor as their sovereign. Although such consent was coerced, Hobbes thought that it was still voluntary and binding, for people might have continued to resist even at the cost of perpetual imprisonment or death.
States could also grow out of families. Hobbes believed that originally mothers held dominion over their children, because the mother protected the child - so the child was bound to obey her; and because a father cannot be sure that a child is his. (This view was very different from the traditional approach to a child's obligations).
However the state arose - whether by covenant, conquest or hereditary succession - Hobbes thought that the sovereign held a monopoly of power.
Protection, obedience
The Hobbesian sovereign cannot be bound by any contract with his subjects, but this did not mean he was without obligations. The law of nature demanded that the sovereign seek peace for his own self-preservation - systematic oppression of the state's subjects would lead to discontent and rebellion.
Hobbes thought that subjects only had a right to
resist if their lives were directly threatened, but he thought that
they were released from any obligation of obedience if the government ceased to protect them.
|"The obligation of subjects to the sovereign is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth by which he is able to protect them. For the right men have by nature to protect themselves, when none else can protect them, can by no covenant be relinquished".
When the Stuarts could no longer protect their subjects, it was alright for them (including Hobbes) to transfer their allegiance to someone - like the Rump or Oliver Cromwell - who could.
El Greco, Christ healing the blind
Most of Hobbes' contemporaries believed him to be an atheist. But roughly half of Leviathan is about religion and relations between church and state. Why did Hobbes talk so much about God if he did not believe in him?
Hobbes thought that
reason could tell us little or nothing about God, and once expressed
doubts that it was possible to prove God's existence. Hobbes was a
materialist and a determinist (that is, he did not believe in souls or
spirits, angels or devils, and he thought that every event in the
universe - including human actions - was caused by what went before).
"God" for Hobbes was simply the
first cause in this predetermined
chain of events.
In addition, Hobbes did not think it
possible to show that
the Bible was divinely inspired: "it is manifest that none can
know they are God's word (though all true Christians believe it) but
those to whom God Himself hath revealed it supernaturally;"
He was one of the first to deny that Moses wrote the first five books
of the Bible.
|"And when the ass saw
the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's
anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?"
(Numbers 22:27-8)
consequently, when we believe that the Scriptures are the word
of God, having no immediate revelation from God Himself, our
belief, faith, and trust is in the Church; whose word we take,
and acquiesce therein. …If Livy say the gods
made once a cow speak, and we believe it not, we distrust not
God therein, but Livy. So that it is evident that whatsoever we
believe, upon no other reason than what is drawn from authority
of men only, and their writings, whether they be sent from God
or not, is faith in men only".
Hobbes also interpreted the Bible in ways very different from those of
virtually all
contemporary clerics and scholars.
Practically all
Christians thought that God was a spirit, but Hobbes was a materialist
who said that nothing but body existed.
|"And devils also came out of many, crying out,
and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them
suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ".
(Luke 4:41)
|"And whereas many of those devils are said to
confess Christ, it is not necessary to interpret those places
otherwise than that those madmen confessed Him. … So that I see nothing
at all in the Scripture that requireth a belief that demoniacs
were any other thing but madmen."
Hobbes described God as the author of nature, and said that the laws of nature were God's commands. But all these were derived from reason - he did not acknowledge that God's revealed will was a source of law, and denied that Christ had made any laws.
The truth of Christianity and the authority of the Church depended on
the Bible being God's word, and according to Protestants the Holy
Spirit inspired true believers to recognize God's word as such. But
how can anyone know that their own beliefs (let alone somebody else's)
result from divine inspiration?
Hobbes did not directly deny that divine revelation was possible - he simply argued that there was no possible way for one person to persuade another that God had actually made a revelation.
Hobbes also thought that any truths of revelation were necessarily compatible with truth deduced by reason; but reason showed the necessity for the sovereign. The arguments of Catholic and Protestant extremists who attempted to use religion against the claims of government therefore had to be false.
Religious mysteries were incapable of reasonable analysis, and could
be accepted wholesale wherever they did not disrupt society and
|"And the same thing
befalls a man who endeavours to demonstrate the mysteries of
Faith by natural reason, which happens to a sick man, who
will needs chew before he will swallow his wholesome, but bitter
pills; whence it comes to pass, that he presently brings them up
again, which perhaps would otherwise, if he had taken them well
down, have proved his remedy."
(De Cive)
According to Thomas Hobbes, the sovereign's control of information was
a vital part of his power. If some person or institution that was
independent of the the sovereign could speak authoritatively about
what actions were necessary to heavenly redemption, the sovereign's
power would be significantly undermined.
Hobbes gave the sovereign exclusive power to
interpret Scripture and
to say which writings were scriptural. Of course, the sovereign could
not control internal belief, but
every subject must limit his public
expressions in accordance with the sovereign's orders. (Hobbes perhaps
felt free to put forward his own interpretation in Leviathan,
because he was answerable to no sovereign at that time, since the
struggle for sovereignty in England had not yet been resolved.)
The main points of Hobbes' biblical interpretation were:
Hobbes knew that religion was potentially extremely dangerous to civil
peace and hoped it would decrease in importance as science spread and
people stopped believing in "invisible powers". In the mean time, he
favored religious toleration to diminish the possibilities for
|"And they that make little or no inquiry into the natural causes of things, yet from the fear that proceeds from the ignorance itself of what it is that hath the power to do them much good or harm, are inclined to suppose and feign unto themselves, several kinds of powers invisible, and to stand in awe of their own imaginations, and in time of distress to invoke them; as also in the time of an expected good success, to give them thanks, making the creatures of their own fancy their gods".
Hobbes on Church and State
Van Dyck, St. Mary's Church (1634)
Hobbes thought that any attempt by the clergy to control secular matters should be vigorously opposed. He blamed the Civil War on the ambitions of clergymen and others who exploited religious enthusiasm.
However, where religious views posed no threat to the state, Hobbes advocated permitting their free expression. Nor did he think the state should enquire into people's personal beliefs. Hobbes hoped that the free exchange of ideas would promote scientific progress.
Hobbes was highly suspicious of claims based on individual conscience - like those made by the puritans who had undermined Charles' rule. If everybody ignored the laws and acted in accordance with their own conscience, civil society would dissolve into anarchy.
Hobbes was equally hostile to claims to spiritual power. Hobbes wanted a broad toleration of different opinions, but only where they did not attempt to usurp power in the name of revelation.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Adoption fee: Cats that HAVE NOT been spayed/neutered are $60.00 Plus a $35 spay/neuter deposit
Adoption fee: Cats that HAVE been spayed/neutered are $80.00
All vet care is completed before adoption of a cat. This includes but not limited to FIV/LEUK test negative, spay,neuter, and annual vaccinations, flea treatment, and ear mite treatments.
If interested in adopting please go to www.fewstepsfromhome.homestead.com and fill out an adoption application.
If you would like to help you can sponsor a specific kitten to be spayed/neutered or sponsor an adoption fee for a specific cat. We also need donations for vet care and also cat food. Please help us care for these animals.
The adoption fee we ask of adopters is not to pay for the cat. The cat itself is free! The adoption fee is used merely to reimburse our rescue for veterinary expenses that any responsible owner would spend anyway when bringing a new cat into their home. However if there are any funds left over from one cats adoption fee, it is used to help the next cat that comes along. Sometimes FSFH's veterinarian expenses on one animal will be less than this fee, but another cat might require several hundred additional dollars worth of care. Without being able to recover at least the minimal veterinarian expenses on our cats, FSFH could not continue to rescue. FSFH's fee does not cover the general cost of keeping a cat in rescue (food, equipment, etc.). FSFH relies solely on donations to cover all other expenses related to caring for their rescued cats.
Thank you for understanding.
Persephone~~RIP 1/2012~~, a Bay City Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Bay City, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Bay City.

Capturing the Mesmerizing Beauty of Perhentian Island2012-05-29 4 Share Tweet
City getaway to fun in paradise with friends. It's the gorgeous Perhentian Besar Island located in Malaysia with its sandy white beaches along Abdul Chalets facing the beautiful scenic turquoise blue sea that welcomes us at first sight.
I love beaches! They are such a wonderful paradise to hide away from the crowded city when you really need a much deserved break from work.
One of my favorite beaches in Malaysia is the Perhentian Island located in Terengganu. It consists of two islands, the main island which is Perhentian Besar (translates loosely to Big Stop) and the smaller island which is more popular with backpackers, Perhentian Kecil (translates loosely to Small Stop).
We visited Perhentian Besar in May when the weather was bright and sunny, just perfect for a beach holiday! Don't be afraid of the scorching sun, just remember to always reapply sunblock.
We chose to stay in the quieter Perhentian Besar due to Abdul Chalet which was highly recommended by TripAdvisor and its raving reviews on long white sandy beaches. I just had to see it for myself and boy I wasn't disappointed for choosing it. Cute little chalets operated by friendly, English-speaking locals. They also operate a restaurant and a small convenient store beside the chalets.
Do visit Perhentian Islands if you're a beach lover who loves sun bathing, snorkeling, diving or just lazying around enjoying the breeze reading a book. It's a prefect place to relax for couples, families and friends! Enjoy!

The tail end of a storm that began pounding northern Utah last weekend snarled commuter traffic again Tuesday morning, and a last blast due is due on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service reported accumulations of 6 inches or more in some Wasatch Front valleys, although Salt Lake City escaped the brunt of the storm Tuesday.
"We've been sort of spared in the bottom of the valley," said NWS lead forecaster Pete Wilensky. Weber and Utah counties were harder hit: North Ogden reported 9 inches, while 8 inches fell in Lehi as of about 1 p.m.
