I've been using the Graphene theme for a while and I love it; very robust.
The site in question is http://www.ctg-kentucky.com
I am using Prasanna's Child Theme, the front page is static, and everything works as intended (I am using MetaSlider lite for the slider).
The problem I have is that I am attempting to create a blog page but do not want the slider to show up. I tried changing several settings, but I couldn't find a solution.
Home Page = "Home"
Blog Page = "Healthy Successes" In the main navigation select Get Healthy -> Healthy Successes
The Healthy Successes page by default DOES NOT show the slider, which is what I want because it gets in the way of the blog content. Once I change the Posts page (Reading Settings) to point to Healthy Successes the slider appears.
How can I remove the slider from just the Healthy Successes page when it is set as the Posts page?
Thank you for the help!

"The new law requires business and agencies where breaches took place to provide victims with a full accounting of what transpired, how it may affect them, and how they can protect themselves."
Wow. Sounds like socialism to me!

This will open up all businesses in CA to lawsuits, if some hacker gains their file information. What business person, in their right mind, would start a business in CA?

It appears that this bill requires standard notification and actions in the events of a security breach instead of trying to cover it up. I guess owning up to your failures is "nanny" legislation to others.
"Senate Bill 24 would strengthen the state's security breach notification system by establishing core content for data breach notification. Information such as the type and time of the breach along with a toll-free phone number of major credit reporting agencies would be provided to consumers whose information was compromised. The bill would also require public agencies and people subject to the law to send an electronic copy of the breach notification to the Attorney General and the California Office of Privacy Protection if more than 500 Californians are impacted.

Jim: "What business person, in their right mind, would start a business in CA? "
Someone who wants access to a highly educated workforce. Someone who wants access to over ten percent of the US population "under one roof." Someone who wants their startup to be surrounded by like businesses, whether leaders in technology, leaders in bio-tech, etc... The list of advantages for California is huge.
Would you prefer Texas, a state with a disaster of an education system? A state that leads the country in minimum wage jobs. Leads the country in uninsured health care. Doesn't educate children in science, preferring creationism to evolution.
A state where the governor's solution to massive wildfires is calling for three days of prayer before he calls the feds for help. Where the governor thinks Medicare and Social Security are unconstitutional (says so in his book.) Where the governor calls his administration "transparent" but he requires all emails to be deleted in 7 days.
Or a state that requires accountability: "The new law requires business and agencies where breaches took place to provide victims with a full accounting of what transpired, how it may affect them, and how they can protect themselves."
Jim: what do you have against accountability and responsibility?

Plaxico Burress insists he can still play but still waits for an NFL team to call.
With each week that passes, you have to wonder if the league has taken its final pass at Burress. He is 35, and despite past success on the field, Burress' troubled past is likely scaring some teams away.
Appearing on the NFL Network's "NFL AM," Burress said he was working out regularly and remained hopeful he would get an opportunity this season to prove he could still be a productive wide receiver.
"I just remain optimistic," Burress said. "I'm still training very hard three or four days a week and looking to get into the right situation, and just waiting for the opportunity to be able to go out and do what I love to do, and that's play football.
"It's not about picking or choosing, or any of those situations. It doesn't have to be anyone in particular."
Burress also clarified a recent report that he was given a ticket for going 100 mph on a motorcycle. Burress admitted he had received a ticket but said he was driving a Ferrari, not a motorcycle.
Asked if he was going 100 mph, Burress said, "It was close to that, but going fast in Ferrari, doing 100 in a Ferrari, feels like 45."
If only Burress' NFL career was moving that fast.

Elsie Teresa Webb recently celebrated her 100th birthday at a catered party at Dunedin's Knights of Columbus Hall with friends, relatives and the doctors who performed her bypass surgery six months ago.
The Dunedin resident was born in Clifton, N.J., to Italian immigrants Joseph and Katherine Belli. The youngest of six children, she grew up in Passaic, N.J., where her father worked as a carpenter and her mother was a homemaker.
"We were poor," recalled Mrs. Webb. "I quit school in the eighth grade to go to work."
But three days a week for the next two years she was able to attend what was called "Continuation School," a chance to further her education while holding down a job.
She married Al Belli, who made his living in cabinetmaking and taxidermy, in New Jersey on Sept. 8, 1926. The couple has a son and two daughters, one now deceased. The marriage lasted 58 years until Mr. Belli's death in 1984.
"He took me to Europe on our honeymoon, to meet his parents," Mrs. Webb said. "We went again on our 25th and 50th wedding anniversaries. The last time we made the trip I was 75 years old!"
In 1988, she met Robert Webb when he showed up with his niece to take a tour of the Paradise Park mobile home she was selling.
"He told me he'd take the place if I came with it," Mrs. Webb laughed. "And he did!"
They were married for four years until his death in 1992.
Mrs. Webb came to Florida 50 years ago from New York, lived in Largo for 35 years, and moved to Palm Lake Village in 1996.
She has traveled extensively, been all over the world and seen just about everything.
Her philosophy on living to 100 includes herbs and vitamins and the belief that "God answers prayers."
Couples celebrate decades together
George L. and Marie B. White of Palm Harbor celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary June 27 at a reception with many family members and friends at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Holiday.

You may have noticed some differences in our yogurt
directions regarding the amount of milk one packet will set. The reason
for this is that they are all correct, but different. Each packet sets 2
quarts of milk in 6-12 hours. If you let it set longer(18-24 hours)
each packet will set up to one gallon of milk. The longer the set, the
more acidic the yogurt, so if you like it to be sweeter, you should
choose to set 2 quarts in the shorter time.
For more questions and answers about yogurt at our blog, click here.
There are many ways to keep your milk at ripening
temperatures, however, most folks find our Yogotherm to be the easiest.
If you plan to set your milk for long periods, we would suggest doing a
pre-heat of the container at about 120F (which is usually your hottest
tap water). Dump this when your milk is ready and close up immediately.
To clean the Yogotherm, simply remove the inner liner, wash and dry.
Yes, if you are inoculating the fresh batch with
another batch that is only a week or so old. However, in time, the
culture balance will change and the yogurt will become more and more
acidic. We recommend re-culturing only once or twice before starting
with a new packet of culture.
They all work well for this. Simply strain the yogurt in butter muslin or a yogurt strainer until it is as thick as you wish it to be.
Yogurt cultures contain miniscule amounts of dry milk
powder-less than .01%. It is consumed by the bacteria since it is there
to provide fuel to get them started from their dry state.
None of them are single strains. They are all different complex strains of bulgaricus.
Yes, you can re-culture or add an element from one
yogurt to another batch. However, the problem is that since these
cultures rely on a balance, and it would be very difficult to keep this
balance, the final product will be very different from the original.
Also, you will have no idea which cultures were active.
For example, our Bulgarian style yogurt is a good one
to re-culture because the two primary cultures work well together, but
if you added another culture to that, it would probably get squeezed out
due to their strong competitive nature. With the introduction of more
and more probiotic cultures (bifidus) the yogurts have become more
If you are looking for probiotics, our sweet yogurt culture contains acidophilus and bifidus. For more info about probiotics at our blog, click here.
Yes, although they do contain a slight amount of dry
milk powder (to feed the bacteria). We are always looking for recipes
for alternative "yogurts," so if you have any, send them to email@example.com. We currently have one article with soy recipes at our blog- Soy Cheese with Louise Dutton.
Q. I'm new but having fun. I want to add fruit to my yogurt but don't know best time, fresh, frozen or canned, please help.A. You can be quite creative in adding things to your yogurt. When adding the sources mentioned in the above question, as well as honey or other flavorings, it is best to add it to the bottom of the yogurt container before carefully pouring in the heated, cultured milk. One of my favorite yogurts in France is a jar of yogurt and a preserve of apricots, raspberries or strawberries laid on top after the yogurt has ripened and cooled. The swiss style of yogurt has the fruit pureed and blended into the ripened yogurt, that is why it is so creamy. Your only limit is your imagination when adding things to your yogurt!!!!
True yogurt is defined by a very specific process that dates back in time but no one really knows how old it is. It has evolved as a natural way to preserve milk by converting lactose to lactic acid with natural dairy cultures. Traditional Yogurt was made with boiled milk but today only heated to about 185ºF. This process prepares specific whey proteins found in milk but not normally involved in the cheese making process (most of these usually run off in the whey in hard cheese production). Their primary role is to form a thick gel with the activity of specific cultures. The higher temperatures of the yogurt making process is what changes these whey proteins to form the thick texture associated with yogurt.The specific cultures involved are Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus and together work in a way that benefits both cultures. The preferable balance between these two cultures is a 1:1 ratio and it is this balance that is important to maintain. The primary role of the cultures is to convert lactose to lactic acid as well as several other flavor components found in yogurt. These are Acetic Acid (vinegar), Diacetyl (butter), and Acetaldehyde (green apples). You may also find several other cultures in yogurt today often labeled as "Probiotics" such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus lactis.Modern Yogurt in the western world dates back only to the early 1900s, was not produced in the US in any large amounts until 1940, and never really became popular until the 1970s when Dannon (originating in Spain not France) popularized their version. What currently passes as Yogurt now is a product thickened with many additives and sweetened for the mass market. It is also commonly sold in a low fat version as well.
A true yogurt will release whey when the surface is broken (this can simply be poured off or stirred back in). This is because there are no thickeners or emulsifiers added to the yogurt - simply milk and cultures. Modern yogurts rely upon these emulsifiers to keep this separation from happening.
Your next step will be to incubate the cultured milk for the required time. This can be done easily by using our Yogotherm or another insulated container. The best approach here is to preheat the outer container before inserting the inner container of milk with culture added. We do this simply by pouring hot water into the insulated base of the yogotherm and allow it to heat up while heating our milk. Once our cultured milk is ready we simply pour out the tempering water and insert the container. This will be adequate to keep the milk at the correct temp for several hours .Place both covers on the yogotherm container and then you need to let it set quietly for several hours. Y1 will take about 3-5 hours depending on temperature control. Y4 & Y5 will take 8-10 hours and will not be as tangy as the Y1.
"Greek Style" or drained yogurt such as produced by "Fage" is one of the current 'hot items' in dairy. It provides a more concentrated yogurt flavor and a rich creamy texture for mixing with fruit, herbs, etc. The other advantage for the lactose intolerant folks is that it reduces the lactose level of yogurt even further than regular yogurt by draining the residual lactose away with the whey.
To make this at home simply spoon your yogurt into a strainer lined with a Butter Muslin cloth and let it drain for several hours until you have achieve the desired thickness. You can use any one of our delicious yogurt cultures to make this.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus do not survive the initial digestion phases particularly well nor reach the gastrointestinal tract in great numbers, but they can improve lactose digestion in some individuals and may help promote a healthy immune system. The combination of these two bacteria will convert a large percentage of milk lactose to lactic acid. Jointly they will convert more than either culture separately. This is primarily why yogurt can be consumed by lactose intolerant individuals. For the extremely lactose intolerant, simply draining the yogurt further (see "Drained Yogurt" above) reduces almost all of the residual lactose which drains off with the whey.

WASHINGTON — Employers added 217,000 non-farm payroll jobs and the unemployment rate held steady at 6.3 percent in May, the second consecutive strong month and one that marked a milestone.
Coming weeks after first-quarter growth estimates were revised to a 1 percent contraction, another strong month of hiring helps ease any concern that the economy was slipping into a lower gear.
"The job market stuck to script in May. Job growth is slowly, but steadily improving and while there remains a lot of slack in the job market it is being absorbed," said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics. "Unemployment and underemployment are still uncomfortably high, but declining. The job gains are increasingly broad-based across industries, regions of the country, and pay scales."
Taken with strong auto sales, improvements in factory orders and other manufacturing indicators and modest improvements in a host of other economic indicators, the economy appears to be jolting back to life after setback over the period from January to March.
"Encouraging economic data released over the past week suggests the U.S. economy is shifting into a higher gear in the second quarter," said Scott Anderson, chief economist for Bank of the West in San Francisco.
The labor market has also crossed a grim milestone, confirmed Erica Groshen, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"With the gains in May, payroll employment now exceeds its pre-recession level. Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 8.7 million from January 2008 through February 2010," Groshen said in a statement accompanying the numbers. "Since then, employment has risen by 8.8 million."
It's hardly a milestone to celebrate, however, said Heidi Shierholz, a labor economist with the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank.
"It is economically meaningless. We still have a big hole in the labor market," she said, noting that to keep pace with new entrants in the workforce and other changes, the economy needed to add almost twice the job growth. "By my estimate, we now have a gap in the labor market of 6.9 million. What we need to get back to pre-recession conditions is 6.9 million (more) jobs."
The jobless rate held steady at 6.3 percent, and most signs of underemployment and stress in the labor markets remained unchanged. They didn't get worse, but they didn't get better. There are still 3.4 million Americans who have been out of work for 27 weeks or longer, and 7.3 million Americans who are working part time but desire full-time work.
Job growth in May was powered by better-paying white-collar jobs, with the professional and business services sector adding 55,000 jobs. Leisure and hospitality added 39,000 jobs and the health care sector, which had seen hiring over the past half year, added a better number 33,600 posts.
Government hiring by just 1,000 and construction, a hard-hit sector, added a modest 6,000 jobs in May.
"The key to even stronger job growth is more construction jobs and a swing from job losses to gains in government," said Zandi. "These will be mostly middle paying jobs."

mkinitrd results in: "No module aic7xxx found for kernel 22.214.171.124"
Hi guys,
Im trying to upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-1 on my server, however im having problems.
The server has a raid 0 setup on it and im sure this might be effecting my kernel instllation. Currently installed is the standard 2.4 kernel which runs fine with no problems.
Once ive made and configured the kernel and copied it to the /boot directory with system.map i then use the command "mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.img 184.108.40.206". When ever i try this command i get the following message appear "No module aic7xxx found for kernel 22.214.171.124".
Ive done abit of research and found alot of people have said compile the FS, SCSI and RAID modules into the kernel that way you wont need the initial ramdisk.
So i started again and compiled all the support for my hardware inc the above into the kernel itself so i dont need a ramdisk. Then i used the "make" command followed by "make modules". Copied the kernel and system.map to boot, then used "make modules_install" command and finally added the new kernel to the menu.lst which looks like:
title Red Hat Linux (2.6.18-1)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage-2.6.18-1 ro root=LABEL=/
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
Now when reboot from the 2.6 kernel i get a kernel panic:
"kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown-block (0,0)"
Im unsure of what to do to fix this, ive tried recompiling the kernel a few times and starting from scratch. If i use modules for the scsi and try to make an initrd i get the No module aic7xxx error. Whereas if i compile everything into the kernel i get the kernel panic.
What is causing this problem as i didnt have it before when upgrading my other machine to 2.6.18-1?
How can i get round the problems and install the kernel successfully?
Any help appriciated!
Ps. The server has a dual CPU setup running, would i need a special kernel especially for running 2 CPU's? Could this effect it?
It takes a lot more then building a new 2.6 kernel you also have to install and upgrade some packages. Here are a couple of old links to guide you along this process;
And yes you need to run an smp kernel to use both CPU's, the configuration of the kernel should allow for this.
Thanks for the help mate,
However i already have all of the stuff installed and up to date.
I tried compiling kernel 2.6.19-1 the other day but im still getting the following error when trying to create the ram disk:
"No module aic7xxx found for kernel 184.108.40.206"
Can anyone tells me what causes this error and how i can get around it?
Ok all, i managed to get a ram disk created by copying the aic7xxx.ko module to aic7xxx.o and ips.ko to ips.o. I then ran the normal mkinitrd command and it was made. However after rebooting i got a "Module insmod: QM_MODULES: ERROR /bin/insmod exited abnormally!" error message.
Then i did a few more hours research and realised that i needed the new modutils which dosnt actually exist anymore and has been replaced by a new package called module-init-tools. So i downloaded the latest version of that and installed it.
I then remade the ram disk and rebooted only to be greeted with "insmod: error inserting '/lib/aic7xxx.o': -1 unknown symbol in module" and the same error for ips.o.
After all these errors the same kernel panic appeared on boot saying that VFS root could not be loaded or something, i cant remember quite how it went now.
I cant understand why the modules wont load on startup even with updating to module-init-tools. Im really stuck and unfortunatly im back to square 1! :(
I would really appriciate anyone who could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.
You really should consider upgrading the OS instead of attempting to build a 2.6 kernel for a large number of reasons. The renaming kernel modules is not an acceptable way to fix the booting problem, it does not work. You are in need of additional packages to build a 18.104.22.168 kernel like udev and other packages.
Please review the ~/linux-<version number>/Documentation/Changes file for the requirements to build the kernel and this link;
To build a kernel for the Red Hat family the steps in order are, yes this does differ from the kernel rebuild guide(the link above) but they work rather well;
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make modules_install
make install
Spend the time required while using the 'make menuconfig' command to configure the kernel to meet your hardware requirements, the default configuration will not work and using an old 2.4 configuration will not work either (far to many changes in the kernel series for this to work). You might want to use 'make oldconfig' before the 'make menuconfig' command to get you started in the configuration.
FYI: you have prebuilt Red Hat Linux 9 kernels judging by;
Good Luck
Thanks for the advice mate.
Can u tell me more about changing the OS?
Do u mean scrap red hat and more to another distro?
What distro would u recommend using thats easier to compile 2.6? And is generly better than rathat.
What are the advantages of changing to a diff os than upgrading the kernel on red hat.
Or do u mean scrap linux altogether? If so i dont want to use Microsoft. Want to stay with unix or linux.
Or would i be best staying with a 2.4 kernel?
Thanks for the help.
No, I am not suggesting you scrap Linux just the defunct Red Hat Linux 9. Nobody supports it any longer and Red hat ended support over three years ago.
If staying with the Red Hat family, fedora Core is the replacement series for the old Red hat Linux series. CentOS, Scientific Linux and others are freely available 100% binary compatible 'clones' of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux series.
All the latest versions are 2.6 kernel based, Fedora Core 5/6 is 2.6.18 kernel based while CentOS and SL are currently 2.6.9 based. Red Hat will be releasing RHEL5 shortly which is based on the 2.6.18 kernel and the work done on FC6/7 and the 'clones' will have releases shorty afterwards. Support for the RHEL series is in years while support for the Fedora Core series is in months (18-24).
If you want to stay with the 2.4 kernel series and have support available then look at CentOS, SL or the other 'RHEL3 clones' that are available.
Thanks for the advice and help Lenard.
I downloaded and installed Fedora 6, however i am having very strange problems with that now :( Its driving my crazy.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (Sep. 5)
Israel today filed a counter-complaint against Jordan before the UN Security Council, accusing the Amman Government of violating the armistice agreement which both governments approved in principle in 1949.
As a result of Israel's complaint–which followed one filed by Jordan yesterday–the Security Council scheduled a full day of sessions tomorrow to consider the grievances expressed by both sides. Jordan accused Israel of trying to obtain military advantage through an afforestation project in no-man's land south of Jerusalem.
In today's counter-complaint, Israel pointed out that Jordan has consistently refused, for the past eight years, to join a special bi-governmental committee provided for in the armistice agreement for resumption of various civilian activities and rebuilding of civilian facilities. The complaint pointed out that Israel's institutions on Mt. Scopus are now deserted ruins because of Jordan's recalcitrance, that Jewish pilgrims are barred from visits to the Wailing Wall, that the cemetery on the Mt. of Olives has been desecrated and that the Latrun pumping station has not yet been rebuilt.
(In Jerusalem a Foreign Ministry spokesman today described as "frivolous" the Jordan complaint. The spokesman said that Jordan had exploited part of the "no-man's land" in the demilitarized zone of Jerusalem where Israel is planting trees in a reforestation project. Reporters were taken for a tour of the area by the spokesman. They watched a tractor landscaping a hillside slope for pine and cypress plantings. The spokesman said the terracing and land cultivation were exclusively within Israel's side of the "civilian line.")

Third Army sets flag ceremony to note new location
Tue, 07 Jun 2011 21:15:29 GMT —
SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. (AP) -- Third Army commander Lt. Gen. Vincent Brooks is performing one of the military's tradition-laden ceremonies to show he is operating from new headquarters at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.
Army officials said Tuesday the ceremony was set for Friday at the base outside Sumter. During the event, a unit's flag is taken from a special canvas case and unfurled. The unit flag is decorated with colorful battle streamers to signify its past campaigns and military history.
Under the 2005 base closure process, the Pentagon ordered the Third Army to close its headquarters at Fort McPherson in Atlanta and move to Shaw. Friday's ceremony shows that Brooks and his troops are deployed and ready to operate from the new location.

Could you provide me with a link so I can see what's going on? This way I can also give specific instructions.
Have you recently updated wordpress? Did you install any plugins?July 14, 2011 at 5:57 pm #48556
Yes. WordPress had an update yesterday or the day before….?
Magically, I got the shortcode that I entered manually to work. It's very sensitive, i.e. sometimes I have to close out and start again for it work. The magic wand simply does not work no matter what I do. Yesterday I was able to add the shortcode manually to the contact page for the address and phone area. Wanted to use it on some of our products pages, but simply can't depend on it. Any suggestion you have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!July 14, 2011 at 6:44 pm #48557
someone else reported this bug for Broadscope too and I already informed Kriesi about it. I'm sure he'll look into it soon.July 16, 2011 at 10:51 am #48558
Same for me. I tried it in several browsers, on my real blog and on a local test environment.July 17, 2011 at 12:47 am #48559
Once Kriesi looks into this we'll be sure to get back to you.July 19, 2011 at 8:22 pm #48560
This is happening for me, too in both Brightbox http://www.visionenactors.com and Broadscope http://www.leapindevelopment.com. Both sites are in development and are using WP 3.1, OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.19. The shortcode magic wand button worked when I first set up the sites, but recently stopped working. I can manually insert the shortcodes but I have a tremendous amount of trouble getting them formatted properly, especially when it comes to vertical alignment (see http://visionenactors.com/who-we-are/ the 3 column headers should align top but they won't).
I have other sites using themes from other developers with the same set up as far as the WP version, OS and browser and they are working fine when it comes to shortcodes. Any help is appreciated.July 20, 2011 at 1:18 am #48561
Again, this is a reported problem and Kriesi has been notified, a solution should follow.July 22, 2011 at 11:36 pm #48562
Any news on this?July 28, 2011 at 12:56 pm #48563
Updates anyone? Same issue with my Broadscope installation.. :(July 29, 2011 at 6:44 am #48564
It will be fixed in the next update.August 1, 2011 at 11:24 pm #48565
I am also having issue with the shortcode for columns. I can write ti manually, but the insert feature via the admin does not work.
Any Idea of when a fix / update will be ready?August 2, 2011 at 7:46 am #48566
Kriesi didn't tell me an ETA yet.

Feature Article of Monday, 10 December 2012
Columnist: Sarpong, Justice
First let me congratulate my NDC nemesis in the forum for a hard fought election won. They did what they have to do to win the election and should be congratulated.
They have bought their way to stay in power and Ghana is the loser with all the corrupt people in the party given another four years to steal, we are in for another four years of a bumping ride ahead. Twelve years of NDC rule, according to the electorate is not enough for them, they want more and they have got their wish.
I am really disappointed in Ghanaians for the election of John Dramani Mahama but the decision has been made and all Ghanaians should accept the in coming Mahama administration and hope for the best that, he will select people with impeccable character to man the Ministries so that corruption can be brought to a minimum but I don't hold much hope with all the people he has surrounded himself with. Ghana is in for a long ride for the next four years. The Woyomes and the criminal elements in NDC will have four more years to steal to replenish what they spent in vote buying schemes. Some may say it is too early to talk about 2016 election when the EC is yet to declare the result of the 2012 election but we all know the outcome or what the result is whether it is a stolen verdict or not, Ghanaians have made the decision and NPP has a hard road ahead.
NPPians should not beat themselves to death but go back to the drawing board and strategize about how to win elections because at the moment, with all the best educated people in the party with good policies they unveiled during the campaign, Ghanaians did not accept them and the reason to find out why we lost is not far fetched. The simple reason is that, we cannot win any election in Ghana with just two regions, Ashanti and Eastern no matter how many of them turns out to vote. Secondly, we should unveil to all Ghanaians especially the Northerners that, their living condition is a paramount importance to the NPP Party and we will continue to support programmes earmarked to bring the three Northern rregions in terms of development projects to close the gap between the North and the south and this should not be just words to win votes but aserious party manifesto with every intention to carry it out.
NPP, the strategy of partnering a Northerner with an Asante or Akyem will not work in 2016.I am not going to mince words but come out and say it in plain language that, your political salvation lies in having a Ga as the flagbearer in 2016. This might not be a welcome news for those angling to lead the party in 2016 but we have to have a common purpose of electing an NPP government and put our individual ambitions of becoming a President in the shelf for the good of the Party. We cannot continue to run on the same stategy that has failed us twice. Nana Addo ran an issue based campaign with good programmes he wanted to implement if elected but Ghanaians have shown that, elections in Ghana is not won in Ghana by your achievements or your programmes or NPP would not have been voted out in 2008 or turned back in 2012. Election in Ghana is won through corruption and cobbling together the various tribes and that is what NPP has failed to do in 2008 and 2012. The tag of NPP being an Asante and Akyem party is really taking roots and it shoud be uprooted.
The tag of NPP being an Ashanti and Akyem party should be seriously addressed because whether it is true or not, the rest of Ghanaians believe it and no matter what kind of programmes and how good the candidate is, as long as he or she is an Asante or Akyem, we are going to have problems. This is not to say Asantes and Akyems should be banished from being the flagbearer of the Party in the near future but as far as 2016 is concerned, the flagbeareship should not be led by anybody from from Asante or Akyem. This might not be a welcome news for the power brokers in the party but if they want to win the 2016 election, they should start planning for it as soon as the next government rolls out its administration. Ghanaians or the greater of the populace do not vote on the issues. We have our emerging middle class group who are well educated and maybe vote on the issues but there is no data to prove that they do or don't. We still need to plan and come up with good programs to benefit Ghanaians like we did with the free SHS and others but the most important strategy to win the 2016 election is to find and groom a likable well educated Ga or somebody from Greater Accra region to lead the party in 2016 because the Akan /Northerner combination will be a failure again no matter how Mahama mess up the economy because he will still get the vote of the Northerners and the Volta region in 2016.
What we have to do is to avoid Greater Accra region becoming a safe region for NDC and the best way to do it is to find a Ga to be the flagbearer of the Party. Alan Kyeremateng is a very likable guy and has roots in the central region and maybe at 59 or 60 in 2016, he can become a running mate to a Ga and still have a chance of becoming a President in 2020 or 2024 but he should be persuaded to put his ambition aside for the Presidential postion and promised the Vice Presidential slot
NPP is not even referred to anymore as an Akan party but Asante Akyem party and Ghanaians are beginning to believe it. In the society we live in, such a notion should be nipped in the bud if NPP hope to win the next election and the best way to do that is to find a good Politician from Greater Accra to partner Alan Kyeremateng or somebody from Brong Ahafo region to avert that region becoming a solid NDC safe region too. The Asantes and Akyems in NPP should shelve their political ambition of becoming President in 2016 if they want to rule Ghana again because Mahama is going to be hard to beat in 2016 with all the political power and the financial backing he is going to have.
NPP should start raising money to fund future campaigns by identifying financiers who are willing to bankroll the party. We don't have to wait till 2016 to start looking for money. We have to increase the dues paying members and supporters should be made to realise how important it is for them to support the party financially by paying monthly dues.
The point is that, all is not lost because Nana Akuffo Addo would have been a great President with Dr. Bawumiah as his Vice but the likability factor was missing and his age in the midst of Mills demise did work against him. He was a hard candidate to sell to the populace with Mahama's fake "I am a humble guy" mantra which he flummoxed Ghanaians to buy. Hope the country will not be bankcrupted with all the looting brigade who used their personal fortune to buy this election waiting to replenish what they have spent. Ghana is in for hard times ahead.

Best. Prank. Ever
My bff has an irrational disdain for one of my ex's. He wasn't even the worst of all the ex's…he was just a big idiot that made her conceive evil plots against him.
Her first idea was to get one of those big fish you get in the grocery store…put it under his house or in his new grill and let him find it…it was in the dead of Summer, by the way.
Once I declined that idea, she decided it would be a great idea to create an "event" on Facebook inviting a free for all lawn party at his house advertising free drinks and a live band. Like one of those mass invites that go out to everybody on the planet. It was epic, but I couldn't let her do that.
This…I would let her do. This is awesome.

I did plenty of research before I tried to connect my iPod to my cdm-7854 Alpine head unit. i found a cable, kcm-123b, which has an m-bus to audio jack conversion. the cable plugs into the back of the alpine unit through the mbus. I cannot figure out how to set my Alpine unit to go into 'auxillary' mode to inerface with the sound of the iPod. I've read in a few places that there is a switch on the outside of the head unit to turn on the auxillary input but I have found no such switch. If anyone knows how to change the mode of the Alpine unit please let me know or let me know if this whole set-up will not work. If there is another way, other the FM transmitter, please let me know about that as well.
No announcement yet.

I have a brand on my front leg. It is a shape that looks like the shape on the close barn where I sleep. There is a far barn too, but I have not been there so I do not know if it has a shape on the side. I have a tag in my ear, but it looks like mud. The man said my tag means he knows where I go. He said my brand means this field is my home. My brand and tag make me feel safe and loved.
I want to look at the tag on the ear of my friend Roy, but I do not see Roy. If his tag is like my tag then when I look at his tag it will be like my tag with no mud. We have a fence by each side of the field. Here and there the fence is weak, but I do not think Roy went through a weak part of the fence. I do not think he is lost. I hope he is not lost. I think he is on the far side of the field near the far barn.
I will look for him there so I can see if his tag is like his brand.

Contained Places
West Brookfield is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 3,701 at the 2010 census. Lucy Stone was born in West Brookfield, and Noah Webster published his dictionary there.
For geographic and demographic information on the census-designated place West Brookfield, please see the article West Brookfield (CDP), Massachusetts.
West Brookfield was first settled in 1664 and was officially incorporated in 1848, splitting off from Brookfield, which was originally settled as part of the Quaboag Plantation.
The town is believed to be the birthplace of asparagus in the New World. Diederik Leertouwer came to the United States in 1784 to promote trade between the Netherlands and New England. He later settled with his wife and daughter in West Brookfield where he carried out his duties as Consul and lived here between the years 1794 and 1798. At that time West Brookfield had a population greater than Worcester and was being considered for the county seat. Local legend has it that Diederik Leertouwer imported asparagus from his homeland and was the first to plant it in this area. This fact was forgotten until it was discovered in an old cookbook. Wild asparagus still grows in this area today. Leertouwer died here and is buried in the Old Indian Cemetery on Cottage Street in West Brookfield.[1]
The town is also home to the Rock House Reservation, a massive, cave-like rock shelter, exposed after the glacial retreat 10,000 years ago, that served as a winter camp for Native Americans. By the mid-1800s, it was part of a farm owned by William Adams whose descendant, F. A. Carter, dammed a small stream to create Carter Pond and built the cottage now serving as a trailside museum and nature center. The reservation is open year round, daily, sunrise to sunset. Admission is free to all.[2]

At this point, only God knows what was going on in the mind of the Atlanta father who left his 1-year-old son in the car to die from the heat. Was it accidental or intentional?
This I do know: the combination of rear-facing car seats in the back seat, a sleeping child, and a million things on the driver's brain is a recipe for disaster.
ACCIDENTAL hot car deaths involving parents who mistakenly leave their infants to die in the car are all too common and THERE ARE THINGS PARENTS CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO THEM.
Click here to watch the short segment with life-saving tips. Remember this is not just for parents, but also grandparents, baby-sitters, anyone who drives children.
Two years ago I interviewed a couple who mistakenly left their sleeping child in the back seat of the car, where she died.
I also interviewed a psychologist who explained how easy it is to do such a thing, mainly because our brains can only hold a small amount of items in our short-term memory, and without a trigger, such a crying baby, or a visual cue, such as the baby in the seat next to you, it's easy to forget.
Many people find this outrageous. That no caring parent would ever forget a sleeping child in the back seat of a car.
I beg to differ.
Since the time I reported on the tragedy of children left to die in hot cars, I've noticed in the news many more instances of this horrific tragedy. They usually always sound the same...on the way to daycare, but forget to go to daycare and instead drive straight to work, because the baby was asleep and out of sight, parent reports to work as usual and discover baby upon returning to the car at lunch or at the end of the work day.
Although by the grace of God I have never forgotten my sleeping child in a hot car, I can admit to driving to a place that was not my intended destination. For example, I have, on occasion, meant to make a certain stop, such as the post office or a store, on my way to work, but once in the car I forgot to make that stop, and instead, out of habit, drove straight to work since that's usually what I do when I leave home and get behind the wheel. Some people joke that their car "automatically goes to work," and I think we all know that feeling.
People might say, yes, but the Atlanta hot car death is different from most, because the parents were searching hot car deaths on the Internet before the child's demise. I'm not so sure that means they were planning to murder their child. However, one would think after those searches they'd be more careful about not allowing their child to be left in a hot car, though.
We'll have to see how this particular case plays out. But in the meantime, anyone who drives youngsters in their car should put safety measures in place, such as the ones described in the link above, to make sure no more children are mistakenly left to die in hot cars.

Do You Have a Resume or a 'Job Description'?
By Skip Freeman,
"Headhunter" Hiring Secrets
more characteristic of a "
description" than it is of a professional document that clearly and quickly brands you as
your experience, qualifications and your potential for success to prospective
? Unfortunately, the resumes of many professionals today more often resemble the former type of document than the latter type.
As a professional "headhunter" I have literally hundreds of resumes pop up on my office computer screen each and every business day, in response to positions I am trying to fill for my hiring company clients. In truth, a significant number of these resume read more like a
description than as a professional resume that can—and does!—give me what I refer to as "cause for pause" and make me want to read further. (Be assured that I am not the only hiring professional who feels this way.)
Let me give you a real life example of what I am talking about here, and this example, I'm sorry to report, is not at all unique.
Earlier this year I was recruiting for candidates to fill a
Quality Manager
position for a major manufacturer I represent. Although the phraseology varied somewhat, here is how the
applicant usually described his or her experience/qualifications for the position in his/her resume:
Quality Control Manager – Name of Current Employer – 2005 to present
• Responsible for improving manufacturing processes and reducing defects and downtime. . . .
While the candidates who utilized this approach more than likely thought it to be entirely acceptable and appropriate, the fact of the matter was (and is), all this approach actually accomplished was to immediately relegate the applicants who used it to the "me too" pool! Why? Because this approach sounds as though it was literally lifted right out of a written job description—and in some cases it quite probably was! This approach gives the reader (who
spend 45 seconds or less on the resume to begin with) no reason whatsoever to read on and learn more, i.e., there is absolutely no "cause for pause"!
The end result for resumes which featured this approach? Hit with the big DELETE key! Applicants out of the running.
Does this mean that I may have missed some really exceptionally qualified candidates by not reading more of their resumes? Maybe, but in my professional experience, highly unlikely. Plus, I, like all hiring professionals, simply do not have, and cannot take, the time to "plow" through hundreds of resumes in search of a "diamond in the rough."
Resume Should Both Tell and Sell!
A resume that reads like a job description does indeed accomplish at least
goal of an effective resume: It tells the reader what the applicant actually does (or has done), i.e., "duties and responsibilities." A hiring professional of course needs to learn (and quickly) if an applicant possesses the basic, relevant experience to even be considered for a particular position. But far, far more important is how
the applicant has performed these duties and responsibilities! In other words,
an applicant must include those things in his/her resume that makes him/her unique, different and better than the typical, "run-of-the-mill" applicant.
Referring back to the above example, consider how much more effective (and
) an applicant's resume would be if he or she had taken this approach to explaining and amplifying his or her experience and qualifications for the position:
Quality Control Manager – Name of Current Employer – 2005 to present
• Reduced equipment failure rate by 89% in first year
as Quality Manager, while
increasing annual production by 15%
, resulting in an
overall revenue increase of $12.5 million.
Not only do applicants who take an approach like this
the hiring professional what their current (and previous) duties and responsibilities are/were, more importantly, they are
they are now performing these duties and meeting these responsibilities—by using the concrete "yardsticks" of
dollars and percentages
! The not-so-subtle, underlying message to a hiring professional, of course, is that "I can also do this for you and the company you represent!"
were a hiring professional, which approach would most likely give you "cause for pause," and make you want to learn more about the applicant?
Resume First Glimpse into Your Professional Brand
It's important to keep in mind that, for the overwhelming majority of job applicants, the resume is the
(and many times, the
) glimpse into their professional brand. If you "blow it" out of the "starting gate" because your resume doesn't
give the hiring professional sufficient "cause for pause," you won't be getting a second chance! And, while a resume, no matter how "sparkling," will never actually get you the job, you certainly can't expect to progress to the next important step in the job search, either, i.e., getting an
, if your resume doesn't both tell what you do and effectively
how well you do it!
Obviously, there is much more that goes into a job-winning resume than what I have included in this article, e.g., visual appeal, overall length, appropriate use of keywords, to cite just a few of the elements that comprise an effective resume. Take a long, hard look at your resume
you send it out in application for another position. Does your resume read more like a job description than a well-designed, professional document that
what is unique, different and better about you? If so, then take the time and make the effort to rebuild it, so that it becomes an accurate,
picture of your
professional brand and moves you ahead in your job search!

Mason Disick Takes Mom & Pop To Lunch [PHOTOS]
Mason Disick was spotted out with mom, Kourtney Kardashian, and dad, Scott Disick, having lunch at Stanley's in Sherman Oaks. I'm sure Mason had a good time. I mean how could he not with a menu that includes artichoke, Chinese chicken salad and rotisserie chicken. I'm sure they were all up Mason's alley.
Sadly, Mason didn't have a stuffed animal with him this time. But, he did have crazy hair thanks to the LA winds. Seriously though, that wind needs to stop. Sure, it looks cute on Mason, but not so much on the rest of us. Kourtney really seemed to want to cover up her baby bump. It's like it's not there.
Check out all the photos of Mason and Co. in the gallery. I won't lie, I'm kinda excited about what baby number 2 will look like. Should be interesting.

Sam's Club has arrived.
The membership-only retail store, which specializes in bulk goods, will open its doors in Harker Heights at 8:30 a.m. Thursday to a very eager community.
"I haven't shopped in a Sam's Club in years, so I am excited to see what they have to offer in terms of products and pricing," said Kritina Bagent, a Killeen resident.
Sam's Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., is the nation's eighth-largest retailer. Sam's Clubs boasts 600 locations in the U.S., Brazil, China and Mexico. The nearest Sam's Club in Central Texas is in Temple.
Quality, name-brand merchandise at exceptional prices: It sounds simple enough, but at Sam's Club, it's a concept the company has taken to a higher level.
"We are not just a place to save money. We offer solutions that can help ease a busy schedule, like in our fresh-food-to-go area where you can have dinner on the table in no time," said Club Manager Joe Tovi. "Whether you are stocking your pantry at home or a business, shopping for new electronics or getting ready for the holidays, our members count on us as their source for the products and services they need to streamline their lives."
Since its inception in 1983, the Sam's Club operating philosophy has remained the same. The stores are not stores, per se, but "clubs." And shoppers are "members" who pay an annual fee to shop inside. The chain has more than 47 million members worldwide.
"We work hard to be the buying agent for members and deliver by eliminating unnecessary costs and maintaining a simple shopping environment," Tovi said. "An average household, consisting of two adults and two children, can earn between $200 and $300 in cash-back rewards and save $1,500 a year just by shopping with us and shopping our club brands."
Construction on the 138,000-square-foot building began early this year at the corner of West Central Texas Expressway and Memory Lane, south of U.S. Highway 190 in Harker Heights. The store has 175 employees.
Destination: Heights
"Sam's Club has become a destination place for a lot of people," said Harker Heights Mayor Mike Aycock, adding the city has changed and grown over the past 10 years. "People will come from all over the county to shop here, and hopefully, they will explore what the rest of the area has to offer in terms of restaurants and businesses."
Since the project broke ground, the company has immersed itself in the community. Sam's Club will present several grants, totaling $25,000, to local schools, organizations and businesses Wednesday. The warehouse store also donated 10 new 50-inch LCD TVs to the Harker Heights and Killeen fire departments.
"They have been tremendous in terms of their community support in the short time they have been here," said Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce membership and events director Gina Pence. "Sam's really wants to build a partnership with the community."
Known primarily for its bulk-sized items, Sam's also offers more user-friendly sized items for members.
"We as a company don't want you to buy a giant jar of mayonnaise that will last you a year," Tovi said. "Those are better suited for business members, so we carry a more manageable size for other members."
Community specific
In terms of merchandise, each club's offerings are tailored to the community it is in.
"We went after things that made sense for this community — like hunting gear and gun safes — but we have a good mix of high-end name brands and everyday staples," Tovi said. "Every Sam's Club will offer similar items, but we really try to gear our offerings to what makes sense for the area as well as a good mix of merchandise across the board."
In addition, Sam's Club has a café. "You can come here and get lunch for under $3," Tovi said.
With Fort Hood as a close neighbor and Harker Heights and Killeen having a substantial military population, Sam's Club offered free memberships for active-duty and retired military personnel, military spouses and military contractors.
"We wanted to do something for the military community and show them our appreciation for what they do for our nation," Tovi said.
Gary Lee Krise Jr. took advantage of getting his free membership earlier this week.
"I would have paid to get a membership anyway, but when I heard they were giving them away free to military, I couldn't pass up the offer," he said. "I'm glad they opened up a place here so I don't have to travel to Temple to shop anymore."
Annual membership packages start at $45.
To kick off its grand opening, Sam's Club and General Mills will host a member appreciation event featuring former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones. As part of the day's celebration, he will meet with fans and sign autographs from 3 to 5 p.m. opening day.
Autographs are limited to one per person and are only guaranteed for the first 120 people in line, but he will sign more if time allows. The store will offer grand opening prices during its first week, including special pricing on electronics, name-brand jewelry, watches and purses.
Aycock and the Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce will participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m. Thursday. The store is at 3600 W. Central Texas Expressway in Harker Heights.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sherman, no stranger to Bucs, interviews for job
TAMPA - Mike Sherman is one of a handful of coaches who can tell you from experience just how good the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were a decade ago. As coach of the Packers from 2000-2005, Sherman lost four of the seven games in which the Packers were pitted against the Bucs. Now he stands as a contender to bring back the glory the Bucs have lost the past few years. The Bucs interviewed Sherman for their vacant head coach's position Wednesday in Houston, a source close to Sherman said. The other candidate interviewed is Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray, who also met with Bucs officials Wednesday in Houston, according to multiple reports.The Bucs are looking for a replacement for Raheem Morris, who was fired Monday after a three-year run. Morris already might be in line for a new job. A report on Washington, D.C., radio station WTOP early Thursday said Morris was seen dining with Redskins coaches and team officials and might be in line to become the team's secondary coach. Morris, who spent four years coaching Bucs defensive backs before being promoted to head coach in 2009, could not be reached for comment on the report but said earlier in the week he plans to coach again soon. "I'm a football coach, it's what I do," said Morris, who compiled a 17-31 record during his three years as the Bucs coach. "I guess I just love to be miserable, so I'll get back in somewhere. I can't stay away." Morris' agent, Brian Levy, could not be reached for comment Thursday either, but when he was asked Wednesday if Morris had been approached about a job, he said, "I can't answer that" question. Sherman would bring a different approach to the Bucs. He is offensive-minded and is considered a solid disciplinarian who spent six seasons running the Packers, compiling a 57-39 record. With the help of quarterback Brett Favre and a running game that set a franchise record for rushing yards in 2003, Sherman, 57, led the Packers to three consecutive NFC North division titles beginning in 2002. Sherman was fired by the Packers following the 2005 season and caught on as head coach at Texas A&M in 2008, but was fired following the 2011 season after a 6-6 year left him with a 25-25 record. Reached earlier on Thursday, Sherman said he preferred not to speak about his opportunity to return to the NFL with the Bucs. "With stuff like this, I don't want to comment because it never helps you," Sherman said. "I just don't want to comment on jobs I don't have. If the Bucs want to respond or something, that's fine, but I'd just rather stay away from it." Other than Sherman and Gray, the Bucs might have interest in Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, but the Bucs have yet to seek permission to speak to him, a source close to Mularkey said. However, the Florida Times Union reported the Jacksonville Jaguars have asked the Falcons for permission to speak to Mularkey about their coaching vacancy. There is also a chance the Bucs will speak with former Titans coach Jeff Fisher, but an ESPN report said Fisher is interested in coaching only the Miami Dolphins or St. Louis Rams.

Author(s) from Durham
It has been argued that a neural system including the hippocampus, fornix, mamillary bodies, and anterior thalamus is specifically involved in recollection, but not in familiarity based memory processes. Here we test this hypothesis using a task of episodic-like memory within an E-shaped maze. Animals seek out a preferred object (what) in a particular location (where) that is unique to a particular context (which occasion). As objects are hidden from view at the point of decision making, the animals can only base their decision on recall of their
previous episode in the E-shaped maze. In contrast, once a decision has been made animals are free to explore both objects and display an object preference when objects are visible to the animal and decisions can be made on the basis of familiarity. Animals with fornix lesions are impaired at recalling a past event. However, the same animals on the same trials show no such impairment in a judgement of familiarity. We therefore demonstrate that recall is dependent upon the fornix, while familiarity based memory is not.
This article demonstrates for the first time a behavioural dissociation between recall and familiarity in animals with lesions of the fornix.

The Universe is 13.75 billion years old, primordial helium has been spotted for the first time and key evidence for the inflationary period immediately after the Big Bang has been found. But not all the new discoveries by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) appear to fit cosmological theory.
Previously, scientists using data from WMAP measured the time since the Big Bang to be an incredibly precise 13.73 billion years (give or take 0.12 billion years). And now, using the same space-based observatory, the age of the universe has been refined even further, adding another 20 million years to the total (plus or minus 0.11 billion years).* Using data from the first 7 years of operation, this refined universal age could be arrived at. Previously, the first 5 years of WMAP observations were used; the longer the observatory is operational, the longer the exposure time, therefore the results become more precise.
This news comes as a series of papers from the WMAP team have been published concerning several different aspects of the observations.
WMAP is constantly surveying the furthermost reaches of the universe, measuring the very faint "echo" of the Big Bang. This echo is known as cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, a remnant of the vast energies unleashed as the universe burst into being.
By mapping the slight variations of temperature in this background radiation, a lot of information about the conditions of the early universe can be gleaned, but cosmologists aren't only interested how long ago the Big Bang occurred. They are trying to find further evidence for what we believe happened in the moments after the Big Bang and now WMAP is filling in the gaps of our knowledge.
In addition to the precise age measurement, WMAP has been able to detect small acoustic oscillations (the cosmic equivalent to sound waves) in the CMB radiation, and the signature detected suggests primordial helium was generated in predicted quantities in the early stages of universal evolution.
Also, by measuring the fluctuations of the CMB radiation over all scales, there is evidence that suggests there was a very rapid expansion just after the Big Bang. This supports inflation theory and provides further evidence for the mysterious "Dark Energy" that is predicted to permeate through the universe, causing space-time to expand at an accelerated rate.
Although this all sounds great, there's one observation that can't be explained by theory. The amount of CMB radiation spotted near clusters of galaxies is greater than expected. According to theory, CMB photons should interact with these clusters, getting kicked to higher energies. WMAP cannot detect these higher energy photons, so there should be a deficit of CMB photons around clusters. This is not the case and scientists will probably be confused by this for some time to come.
WMAP continues to open our eyes to the nature of our universe by measuring the Big Bang echo, supporting current theories about how the cosmos started out, but challenges other theories as to how CMB radiation should behave. Although the WMAP mission is set to end in the fall of 2010, its results will reverberate for years to come.
*The uncertainties in the measurements don't come from astronomers lack of accuracy, far from it. When measuring cosmic times and distances, very slight errors may creep into the calculations. Some errors might be down to slight instrumental irregularities or fuzziness in datasets, so as a matter of good practice, scientists calculate a "margin for error" in their results. Ideally this margin should be as small as possible, but it will never disappear all together.

Four City Council members who were recently recalled are getting ready to run to recapture their old jobs. The election is set for November 6.
Four former City Council members, including the former mayor (also a city council member), are getting ready to run for the same offices they vacated less than 60 days ago. Louis Byrd, Rev. Alfreddie Johnson, Leticia Vasquez and Fernando Pedroza are embarking on the fight of their political lives to convince the residents of Lynwood that they can do the best job for the city.
Lynwood operates under a city council/city manager form of government and the city consists of five council members, four of whom were recently recalled. If Byrd, Johnson and the others prevail in the upcoming election, the current administration would have been one of the shortest administrations in modern city government history, since they have been in office barely a month.
|Louis Byrd
|Rev. Alfreddie Johnson
|Fernando Pedroza
Some disgruntled residents openly claim that the numerous elections and recall elections have depleted the city's meager resources and valuable time and services that could have been used for more productive purposes on behalf of the residents. Yet, Lynwood politics seem to continue to spiral out of control, compounded by a rash of suspicious development projects that will ultimately cost the city regardless of what developers promise.
Former Mayor of Lynwood, Louis Byrd said emphatically that he intends to run in the next election for City Council. "It's right there," he said. " It's November the sixth, just a week away." Speaking in a positive tone, Byrd said, once back in he would "continue to move the city in a positive direction and make it a place that everyone could be happy to live in." He also commented on the recent recall, "That was an opportunity for the naysayers to shine because they knew how to do that. This is the second time they've had a successful recall and they have also had many attempts. They vote for recall because they want to be in there." Furthermore, Byrd said that he was very confident about his chances and he had received some positive feedback (from the residents) while campaigning. "A lot of people know that was a sham and I think two of them are going to go out."
When contacted, Rev. Alfreddie Johnson said that he was also going to run. However, because of his hectic time schedule, he was not able to be reached for a full interview. Rev. Johnson has a long and impressive history of working with gang members and at-risk youth in the community. He also founded an outreach program for helping young people to turn their lives around and was instrumental in seeking positive solutions in the wake of the 1992 Civil Unrest in Los Angeles.
From the outset of the interview, former council member Fernando Pedroza stated that he plans to run for his old city council seat in November—next five days. According to Pedroza, "We are 'at-large,' we do not have council districts." He outlined his plans for the city if elected: "My goal is to finish the construction of two new parks and to replace the park that was taken by the new high school, and to make sure we create jobs for the kids. We have 18 schools in the city but no jobs for our kids when they graduate." Pedroza further stated that the recent recall was provoked by the lies and deceit by the opposition. "They lied to the public and told them that the city council was going to take away their homes," he concluded.
Leticia Vasquez was the only former City Council member who was not available for comment. Calls to Vasquez were not returned by press time.
None of the current council members were available for this story but sources told the Los Angeles Sentinel that they've "cleaned house" since coming into office and have presently hired an interim city attorney.

I Have To Be Honest With Myself!For, the last year I've found myself in a deep dark place. A place of isolation and bitterness. A few months ago my boyfriend took me to the jererwly store to purchase a ring. I should have been screaming out loud and jumping for joy. but in the back of my mind I was trembling with fear. I took me a few days later to understand why. Why don't I want to marry him? I am 37 years old with no children and a pretty good job. I should be ready to jump the broom. However, I don't want to go there. Not with him. I want my alpha male. I want something that he is unable to give me.
I want a deverise type of physical contact. One that is taboo for my circle. I can't understanding it. But it started about six years ago when I found that i wanted to be spanked, tied up. I love the idea of being told to submit to a man. Very controling man. I boyfriend is just the opposite of what I want. He wants to hug cubble and talk. I just don't want that. He can not understand my need and just stares at my request in a silence. What is wrong with me? Does anyone understand what is happening to me. Is this worng?
Its not wrong,i know exactly where your coming from.
nope, you want to be mine
Its not "wrong" although you may feel guilty. Sex is one thing for you and another thing for him. You two are "speaking different languages" when your intimate... So you don't understand each other sexually. I went through the same with my ex girlfriend who I still love greatly to this day. but sex was missing something because for me sex is just a carnal indulgence, and love is a completely different thing for me. But it was important for her to "make love". Best of luck to you.
No, it's not wrong. You need to at least try it, to find out if this is just an indulgence you want now and then, or something you may need all the time. He needs to work with you, to find out if this is something he could do for you, or if you would always be craving something he cannot deliver. I like to hug and cuddle, I do not like to control other people. But if a woman I loved had a need, I would do my best to satisfy her. Good luck to you both.

I love frame-by-frame animations! The blend of F/B/F here came beautifully, and the style was excellent. - I did notice your drawings becoming less and less detailed the deeper the animation became. But that's completely understandable.
Maybe next time though, add sound effects, just the small ones, like, landing, stepping, quiet buzz for the wings, skids. etc.

I'm new here. It's one of those things that I kept meaning to do. But this has been on my mind a lot lately, so maybe someone has some insights.
I'm epileptic & narcoleptic, taking provigil and lamictol (which is also supposed to help me with bipolar disorder). I was taking carbamezapine with good results, except I wasn't functional. I walked around (when I wasn't sleeping) in a complete fog. I talked my neurologist into trying me on other meds, but so far my narcolepsy and epilepsy both seem to be poking back through to the surface (more frequent seizures and crashing at 7-8 pm, even while eating dinner). Is there anyone else around here with both? If so, what has helped?

US March Employment Trends Index Dips -Conference Board
U.S. companies modestly scaled back on their hiring efforts in March, the Conference Board's Employment Trends Index reported Monday, figures that dovetailed with recent figures suggesting the upward trend in jobs creation may not be sustainable.
The index fell 0.18% in March to 107.28, dipping from February's revised figure of 107.47 yet still 5.2% higher than the same period last year. March's reading was the first decline in six months, and follows Friday's Labor Department data showing the U.S. economy added 120,00 jobs last month–far less than most market observers had expected.
The index is calculated using eight labor market indicators. According to the Conference Board, a deterioration in at least five key areas helped push the ETI lower last month. Among the subcomponents that reversed were the percentage of those who found jobs "hard to get," the percentage of initial unemployment claims, and the number of temporary workers.

You can't put a price on a smile, so the old saying goes. But researchers at Bangor University have done just that, calculating that a smile is worth exactly one third of a penny – and that it's a form of "social currency" that people will pay for.
They found that people preferred to play against opponents with genuine smiles – even when that meant they were less likely to win. "Our participants, all university students, are usually highly motivated to earn money," said Danielle Shore, lead author of the research. "The fact that they chose opponents who were less likely to pay out was a big surprise."
So what are the implications of these findings? That smiling pays. "Genuine smiles might help people see eye-to-eye during interactions," says Shore. "People who often make genuine smiles may have an easier time convincing others to adopt their goals."
