Tammy is not a man hater, not a bit. In fact, I would say her character, charm & authenticity will connect well with voters across the state.
She's not a great speechmaker, IMO, but she is very persuasive in other formats.
I don't think voters who care about her being a lesbian would vote Democratic anyway.
Her problem is being a liberal from Madison. Maybe that can be overcome, but I'm not betting the farm.

HOUMA -- When William Walsh, a retired dentist from Houma, attended the 2003 Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce banquet with his family, he had no idea he was about to be in the spotlight.
Walsh, 74, went to the January banquet because his daughter and son-in-law had an extra ticket, or at least that�s the reason he was given.
In reality, Walsh was there to be honored for his work with the needy in Terrebonne Parish.
That night, as is the custom, the name of the person being presented with the annual award comes after his or her accomplishments are detailed for the assembled crowd. As a long list of good deeds was rattled off that night, Walsh said the speaker was nearing the end before he finally realized he was the person being talked about.
"Well, you kind of get suspicious," he said when asked to relive the moments just before he was honored as The Courier�s Most Useful Citizen. "I knew it was me when they said I was the past president of the Louisiana Dental Association, ... I know I was the only one in the room who had been a past president."
During the short walk from his table to the stage, Walsh said he had just enough time to compose himself before giving a quick speech.
Walsh, who retired from dentistry in 1996, was honored for his work as a dentist and leading the charge in opening the St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy in September 2001.
Since its inception, the Main Street pharmacy has served hundreds of people and given away hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medicine to the elderly and poor. According to Walsh, the pharmacy filled more than 800 prescriptions in the three days it was open this month.
Since moving from his hometown of Dallas more than four decades ago, Walsh has worked with many Catholic church-related activities including the St. Francis de Sales Parent Teacher Association and Parish Council and Knights of Columbus Council 1317. He also served on an advisory committee to former Bishop Warren Boudreaux.
Walsh was an original board member of the Bayouland YMCA and has provided his professional services to the Terrebonne Association for Retarded Citizens.
Even though he�s retired, Walsh continues to serve as president of the board for St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy and is also the pharmacy�s janitor.
Since his win, Walsh said people stop him on the street or the golf course and congratulate him on the honor. Winning, he added, inspired him to keep working to improve the community.
"I feel like it was definitely an honor and a privilege, and something that you in a way need to live up to over the years to come. You can�t stop," he said. "It just motivates you to work harder."
If you know of someone who, like Walsh, has devoted his life to making Terrebonne a better place to live, time is running out to nominate that person for the 2005 title. Thursday at noon is the absolute latest that nominations will be accepted.
Nominations should include a description of what makes the person worthy of the honor, along with the nominee�s biographical information. Nominations should be mailed to The Courier, Most Useful Citizen, P.O. Box 2717, Houma, LA 70361 or hand-delivered to The Courier�s office at 3030 Barrow St.
This year�s winner will be announced at the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce�s annual banquet, which begins at 6 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
Courier staff writer Mika Edwards can be reached at 857-2202 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Past winner recalls learning about Useful Citizen honor

It is 5:23am. The alarm just went off. It has been a short night - the season 16 finale of Downton Abbey was on TV last night and I went to bed late. But I have a train to catch this morning and I'd better not miss it - I am starting a new job and I am due for orientation and training at headquarters.
Smart Cities are hot news with many examples where innovation and technology have been drivers of growth and sustainability. But are Smart Cities heading for an 'Uncanny Valley' where the lack of consultation with citizens can lead to alienation and rejection by the very people that these initiatives are designed to help?
Why is it that policy relating to personal data seems to generate so much controversy? Take the recent huge public outcry over care.data which resulted in massive negative media coverage, questions in Parliament and subsequent delays to what many consider to be an important program for the well-being of the nation's health.
Personal data is very much on the agenda but have brands really understood the implications? We have always been aware of the potential for negative publicity when things go wrong but it is only recently that we have started seeing the flip-side. Brands can actually accrue good publicity and custom for handling personal data and privacy issues well.

While Chain of Memories follows up on the original title, it's also a lead-in to the bigger sequel, Kingdom Hearts II. KHII is to pick up after CoM, though it will play like the first Kingdom Hearts, with battles being action-based as opposed to card-based. Not a whole lot is known on this one yet however, since Square Enix isn't releasing much information with its release still a ways off.
If you've had enough of my rambling, you can get to the meat of this update, which is news writer Chris Winkler's previews for each title. Linked below, they should bring you up to speed on both games if you need a refresher, or be a good introduction if you didn't know anything about them in the first place.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is due out November 11th in Japan, with a tentative North American release scheduled for late 2004. Kingdom Hearts II is expected to release in both Japan and North America in 2005.

Calvary Cemetery Photos
In honor of Halloween, I will be posting some cemetery photos this week. This first photo is of my mom and dad's headstone. They are buried in Calvary Cemetery, Evanston, Cook County, Illinois. Calvary is a large Catholic Cemetery in the Archdiocese of Chicago. It was founded in 1859, and was popular with the north side Irish (if a cemetery can ever be called popular.) I've seen many obituaries from the late 1800s that contained the words "thence by carriage to Calvary."
The second photo shows the statue of St. Patrick near the front entrance to Calvary Cemetery. My parents' grave is near the statue. In the background is Chicago Avenue, and the Chicago "L" tracks that go through Evanston and end in Wilmette.
Here is a link to the Catholic Cemeteries Archdiocese of Chicago website. It contains information about the consecration date, location and current contact information for the 43 Catholic Cemeteries in Cook and Lake counties, Illinois.

DivorceI have been playing this over in my mind for some time, I need to push myself to move on. I know I stay as a comfort and convience, trying to find the right time (is there ever a right time). I do love him and I don't want to hurt him and I want the best for him. He feels that I treat him bad, I ignore him, I don't cater to him like I use to, I don't love him, I am cold, etc.(All untrue statements, I am distant and guarded, he just can't controll me anymore) So I don't understand if I treat you soo bad why do you want to stay with me?
I don't understand!!!!
I re-read you story. I need to push my H to divorce too. I know I will be the one forced to ask. But neither my H nor friends or family will understand. He loves me. I just do not love him, But, I don't want to hurt him and I want the best for him. He feels that I treat him bad, I ignore him, I don't cater to him like I use to, I don't love him, I am cold, etc. All true statements morover, I am distant and guarded. So I don't understand if I why he can't just LEAVE?
My problem is I have kids with him and I don't want to be away from them for a moment. I don't want to share them. I am also too afraid they will be a casualty
I do understand. It's all about being worn down, after trying repeatedly to make things right somehow, negotiating, compromising, even making offers free and clear that benefit your partner only in the hope of inspiring a little reciprocity. But the other is perfectly comfortable the way things are, and is only willing to placate temporarily at best, with the only objective being to defuse the crisis. It devours your soul a little more each time until there's no caring left besides the wishing them well on your way through the door. That's where I am today.
I ask the same questions yet he stays! One day I will have the strength to say leave me. My BF hopes sooner rather than later
I finally took my first step towards divorce. I told him it was over and that I deserve to have an opportunity to find happiness. He tried to argue a bit but I shut it down with "I know you will be relieved once you have had time to think about it". Then I said I wanted him to find happiness too and wished him well.
Yr hubby sound like my hubby toward me,,,,,, One thing i want to be happy and i want to feel control myself,,,,,,not him try to control me and my happiness..... I do love my hubby all my heart and my soul but we r having too many problems in the marriage it is not funny anymore...... i want to give up and move on my life..... maybe god will bless me a great guy in my life again,,,,, i been marriage to my hubby for 16 years,,,,, he drvie me crazy,,,, plus i am getting to much anger and hate in my heart toward him......right now i am going to fix myself, heart of mine, change my ways,,,,, and find old myself again,,,,, because i miss me,,,, i didnt like that person i become during those years of marriage because my hubby..... Now it is time for me,,,,,, not my hubby anymore....... So good luck and god bless u.... if u really need talk to me about anything,,,,, let me know,,,, i like to have to new friends
We stay for the same reasons: familiarity, comfort, history...etc. But we also stay for love. We do love you even if we don't show it in the right way or enough. We need to feel wanted/needed/appreciated. If we feel you pulling away, we do the same. We don't want to give up. Love and marriage are not simple social contracts, they are our life-blood. The connection goes deeper than you can imagine, and our expression of fear and hurt is only our way of describing our pain in an immature way.
You have to be honest enough to admit that YOU need something else. He'll have to deal with the pain, but it's only honest.
I do understand what you are saying. It is a sad fact of life that things change. You deserve you...and you deserve to have a trusting relationship. I'm not really trying to play "Devil's advocate", I just wanted to put the opposite spin on the situation: men don't like change, and we don't want to feel like we've been a dissapointment. That's the hard part of accepting that our mate needs more. I'm not saying that you (or your husband, for that matter) don't deserve a better situation...some of us don't necessarily recognize that growth, maturity, and lessons can be better than accepting the status quo.
You are right. Change and growth are part of our human experience. Some people are so resistant to change that we neglect our own true needs. I am sad for you and him, but your strength may be what he needs to grow. Your need for change and growth may eventually be a gift to both of you. Hopefully, it turns out to be a blessing.
Have you read any Joseph Campbell? Most heroes don't go onto their journey willingly. God sometimes has to step in and forcibly remove us from growth-limiting circumstances. We're not all strong enough to do it ourselves, so we have to thank God (or whatever higher power you may believe in) for getting us out of our own way.
Guess you have been taken for granted. You need to act to prove that you are serious. Unfortunately we never get support for divorce from society like how we get for wedding. So we need to push ourselves.
Wow...this made me cry....(perhaps it struck a chord?).....I hope you find out what it is you want......we all deserve that.....
My mistake was being like a flip flop. Trust your gut and take control from the beginning. You don't need to be mean or even say much. Get your ducks in a row. Know what you want and what you want your life to look like. If you don't know, can you at least say to yourself that this statement is true: I don't know what I want it to look like but I know it isn't this. Stick to your guns and for goodness sake don't be nice just to be nice thinking you will win brownie points. You won't, ever. Rule number one and the only rule: What is in the best interest of the kids if there are any.
I remember saying the same thing. That is a big red flag!
Someone telling you how horrible you are all the time but yet they want to stay with you.
Oh, it's a control method. Someone who thinks they are horrible, incompetent, stupid, a loser...that person isn't likely to stick up for themselves, disagree with a decision their partner makes, or walk out.
So they DO want you to stay...to the point that they have to emotionally abuse you in order to make sure you won't feel strong enough to leave.
the thing is ... you don't know what you've got til it's gone ... or if it threatens to go ... he's getting scared that he'll have to operate outside his comfort zone, which is understandable, but we all have to grow up and move on.
And that's similar to what I am dealing with with my wife. You know, the one who is committing suicide on me every other day to keep me from leaving her? I've realized that she knows she screwed up bad with me, and so, because she will never be able to find another guy to put up with her, her only option seems like leaving this earth.... I find your situation pretty similar.
At leaSt you have that option, mine wants me to believe that if I leave, she dies.
exactly, I agree with you WPeace ... people can be so selfish but threatening suicide constantly is just awful.
It's a whole new level of pathetic, thank you ladies
Thanks same to you WP. I got her good today at the lunchtime call. She's been hinting lately that she is going to do it on Sunday night. On today's call she talked about taking our baby out of pre-school (he's 4) because she isn't happy with it. I sAid 'oh good, that means you'll be stAying around a long time then!' She back-pedaled like you wouldn't believe! Lol
Ambroseguy...if your state or province allows to record her without permission, and she makes suicide threats...you can then take that to the police and say she's a danger to herself.
I think being involuntarily committed for observation once would stop her.
I hesitate for you to tell her "okay," as she might actually do her own silly a$$ in.
...Might do her own silly a$$ in in the suicidal gesture she'd make...as I doubt she's actually suicidal.
But what is most important to you and where do you see yourself ideally?
Yes, we all need to find a way to grow and fulfill our potential - hope you find the right way forward!
Sounds like he misses having the control. Anything you take away from him having control, he probably call that you "not loving him, being mean, hateful, cold, etc..."
He wouldn't like that time-frame, he wants it to go on forever, I am sure...
Of course! Just like I can't reason with my wife in a rational manner. She gets mad when I call her selfish, but she really is

We have a problem with Module::Build::Tiny (itself and M::B::T using packages), and that is that debhelper (or more exactly: dh_auto_clean when it detects the perl_build build system [i.e. Build.PL]) runs `perl Build distclean' Now Module::Build (for which this was originally written) supports distclean and realclean, with slightly different semantics; Module::Build::Tiny only supports realclean. (I guess this wasn't detected earlier because noone has built a package / ran the debian/rules clean target with M::B::T and an existing ./Build file. I recently tried to build a package twice in a row and ran into this issue.) So, I'm not sure what to do about this: - Ask upstream to add a distclean target? - I guess there are reasons why it's not there ... - Add the distclean target in a Debian patch? - Ugh ... - File a bug report against debhelper to s/distclean/realclean/? - Then we probably need arguments and some evidence that this doesn't break anything. Cc'ing upstream to get their advice as well; ideas and comments from everyone welcome! Cheers, gregor -- .''`.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Boasting spectacular 180 degree views of Maria Island and only 50 minutes drive from Hobart Airport, Orford's Maria Views Bed & Breakfast is the perfect location to relax and explore Tasmania's East Coast.
It's the perfect location to unwind and relax and what better way to complete your day than a final walk along the beach before you return to enjoy a glass of wine and be mesmerised by the moon rise over Maria Island.
The modern one bedroom apartment comes complete with welcome drinks and chocolates on arrival, lounge/dining, fully equipped kitchen with washing machine and cosy bedroom with ensuite bathroom.
Explore Orford/Triabunna and its many attractions – golf course, fishing, boating, close swimming beaches, a winery, bushwalk along the many walking tracks. There's a hotel, restaurants, supermarket, Post Office and café – all within easy walking distance. Visit the waterfront marina in Triabunna – it's the gateway to Maria Island. Whilst there, grab the best fish and chips around as well as visit the Visitor Information Centre or have a drink at the Spring Bay Hotel.
And last but not least visit our local icon - the beautiful Maria Island National Park. Pack a picnic and enjoy a day exploring historic Darlington, climb Mt Bishop & Clark or Mt Maria. It's the perfect destination if you enjoy walking within pristine nature.
My husband Ian and our daughter Michelle, two dogs and one cat live in this big home which is perched into a hill giving 180 degree views of Maria Island in Orford. Orford is the first town along the Great Eastern Drive that is on the East Coast when coming from Hobart. We purchased this property in 2002 which was built to lock up. We then spent the next few years making it liveable for our family with the B&B being the last project. In 2007 the downstairs section of our house was complete and we commenced operating as Maria Views Bed and Breakfast in 2008.
Ian and I both work full time - locally. We love the area having moved from Victoria and previously from King Island. We have 2 daughters , 2 dogs, Ockie and Toots (Mother and daughter) and we have adopted a stray kitten 3 years ago who also forms part of the family and is called Lucky. We keep the animals away from the B&B area as we are aware that not everyone loves dogs. They have a fully fenced backyard to play in but can been seen from time to time lounging on our front deck if we are home.
We want to welcome people to our place that don't mind the potential bit of noise from upstairs. We work from Tuesday to Friday, starting at 7.00am and we get up at 5.30am. We do make every effort to be quiet but I know how much any noise can travel when it is in the quiet times of the morning. My parents have been pretty honest with us when they have stayed on where they can/cannot hear the noise and we have made adjustments to take that into account. On that note we have been told that the noise is less than what you would hear in a hotel/motel however if you are a light sleeper it may be a bit noisy for you. As mentioned above the unit includes parking, private entrance, open plan dining and lounge, comfy bed, soft towels, and more.
Payment Arrangements
Online payment is encouraged as we are a small operator, EFTPOS and Credit Card Facilities are not available
Interested in visiting Maria Island
Experience what you view from our place. We can help you arrange a visit to Maria Island or you can call the Triabunna Visitor Information Centre for bookings or any further information on Maria Island and what it has to offer.

Community Forums › Forums › General Discussion › Minimum 2.0.1 has lost "Edit CSS" option in Appearance Menu and Theme Settings
Tagged: Minimum 2.0.1
This topic contains 4 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by Speakeazy 4 years, 3 months ago.
June 6, 2013 at 10:13 am #44342
I downloaded Minimum 2.0.1 for a new website I just created. I have Minimum 2.0 installed on another website.
I was looking to override Minimum 2.0.1 CSS settings by going to:
Edit CSS
which should take me to an empty CSS file I can modify.
However, this option that was in Minimum 2.0 has disappeared in Minimum 2.0.1.
Is there a reason for this? If so, what is the new method for overriding CSS settings in Minimum 2.0.1?

David ChuParticipant
This is generally a problem with your hosting, not with Genesis. The answer is probably that you'll need to use FTP (or your host's control panel if there is one) to change the file permissions on the style.css file. On some hosts, if the default permission is 644, changing to 666 might work. On other hosts, sometimes you have to go as far as using 777, which is somewhat insecure.
If this works, then you're good to go. If you need to edit the functions.php, you'll probably run into the same problem, which would be solved the same way.
Dave Chu · Custom WordPress Developer – likes collaborating with DesignersJune 7, 2013 at 3:02 pm #44639
The two websites I am talking about are hosted by the same company (VidaHost), and in both sites the permissions are 644 on:
however, as described before, the site using Minimum 2.0 gives me the option Appearance>Edit CSS and the site using Minimum 2.0.1 doesn't.
I tried your solution on my Minimum 2.0.1 site:
- I changed the style.css in the above location to 666 and refreshed the Dashboard. No change. Still no Edit CSS.
- I changed the style.css in the above location to 777 and refreshed the Dashboard. No change. Still no Edit CSS.
Am I changing the correct style.css?
Not sure what to try next.

Sorry I missed the 2.01 part of your point. I would contact official Studiopress support (this is all volunteers), and see if there's anything different about 2.01. I don't have Minimum.
Good luck, D

I raised a support ticket, but I've just found the answer....
I installed JetPack for WordPress 15 mins ago:
When I authorized JetPack by entering my login details for WordPress.com, the "Edit CSS" item appeared in my site 'Appearance" menu...
Editing Custom CSS is actually a JetPack feature, described here:
Problem solved.
How would you do this without JetPack, are there alternatives I wonder...? Just curious.

Income for the period reached $700,000, compared to a net loss of $24.3 million in the same period last year.
For the six months ending September 30th net revenues hit $813.2 million, up from $376.2 million last year. Net income was $28.5 million, vastly better than the $42.6 million loss experienced in 2006.
"Our second quarter net revenues were the highest in our company's history," Activision chairman and CEO Robert Kotick stated. "We significantly strengthened our development capabilities through our acquisition of Bizarre Creations, a proven top-tier developer of racing games which will facilitate our entry into this important segment.
"During Q3, we shipped more units of our internally developed, wholly owned franchise, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, than any other game in Activision's history. Within the first seven days, consumer sell through was more than $100 million in North America alone - our largest product launch ever.
"Our third-quarter slate is expected to deliver our strongest quarterly results to date, with forecasted net revenues in excess of $1 billion. As a result of our strong performance in the first six months of the fiscal year, and our solid third quarter release slate, we are raising our fiscal year 2008 net revenues and earnings outlook."

Build Automation and Support
A software build is the transformation of version-controlled source into executable software. For many organizations, the task of "running the build" can be extremely laborious and time-consuming. CMI employs build specialists whose focus is to execute and audit builds as well as improve build avoidance with emerging technologies such as Maven and IVY. We also have specialists who have expertise in build automation using Continuous Integration (CI) technologies like BuildForge, Hudson/Jenkins, and CruiseControl. Incorporating build automation and improving build avoidance (reuse of previous build compilations) help decrease overall build time and increases the effectiveness of the SDLC software cycle. Our Managed Services for build support utilize the right resources at the right levels to deliver cost savings to our customers while improving the speed and accuracy of the requested builds.

I wish to enlighten some people. Arrests don't lower crime rates. This is a problem with public perception. People believe that if we put all the criminals away or kill them off, less crime will happen. This is simply untrue. In states with the Death Penalty, the murder rate is higher than in those without it. And even in states without it, crime rates are still ridiculously high. You can blame what you want- economics, the people themselves, the job market, etc. However, the fact of the matter is that arresting people isn't getting crime rates lowered, and while imprisonment and/or death might be a deterrent, it certainly is not an effective one. I know an officer that goes around pretending to be a drug dealer or prostitute or whatever she needs to be to catch offenders in the act. She went to this one district years ago and came back six years later (you can't stay too long at one place or else you get a reputation and start getting noticed), recently. She said she was stunned that even though her actions arrested literally hundreds of people in this city over the course of her work, absolutely nothing had changed when she got back to that area. The same crimes happened with different people, and just as often. Many systems have switched to a focus on rehabilitation. What does this word mean to you? To most people, this means fixing the problems within the person. Make them not WANT to commit crime anymore. However, this too ignores the fact that being a bad person is not the only reason to commit a crime. Rehabilitation is not solely focused on the person, but their circumstances. Think about it. If somebody is in prison for years and just sent out, what happens to them? They might not have a home, money, food, etc. What do you think they are going to do next? Crime, of course, if only to get by. That is why states have probation. Probation, often/always mandatory on many sentences, is when a criminal is released from prison under the supervision of the government. They can be assigned to live somewhere, given aid to get a job, and are monitored to ensure they do not continue to commit crimes. By doing this, we are focusing on rehabilitation by circumstance where the offenders no longer need to commit crimes. This has been shown to be reasonably effective. The problem is that, like everything else, this costs money and time. The officers in charge of monitoring these people could have a hundred offenders a week they need to monitor and check in with, leading to gaps or delays in their work. Is this the most effective thing we can do? Now, here's something I found shocking. I talked with the Warden of a certain prison in my state. I was told that only about 1/3rd of the inmates there were there the previous year. 2/3rds of the people within a prison each year are new offenders brought back largely due to parole violations. This brings up a new point. You see, a prison with a maximum capacity of 5,500 now has 22,000 people. No, I do not exaggerate. We have a lot of people in jails and prisons, and despite the public perception of 'really high crime rates overflowing our prisons,' people don't realize that the majority of those people are simply those that broke previous parole conditions. It can be simple things- I know someone that was told by the judge not to step into a bar. He did, drank, and was sent back to prison for it. People around here were upset that some college kid was arrested for drinking too much, but they don't realize it was for breaking his parole requirements, not for drinking itself. Parole is different from probation. Parole is a sentence. A judge says, 'Look, OK. I don't want to send you to prison/ you have earned the right after being in prison for a time to try and be a citizen again. So just follow these rules, check in with an officer once a week, and you can stay free.' Probation is when people are released early as a REQUIREMENT, not as a sentence. As I said earlier, if we just release criminals from prison with no help, they'll just offend again. By putting people on probation before their 'serving time' is up, we can get them reacquainted with society and the neighborhoods. Probation is most certainly necessary to integrate offenders back into society. Parole is necessary for minor crimes and first time offenders because our prisons and resources are already far beyond capacity. Arresting people gets them off the streets, but does not solve the immediate problem- crime continues. Threatening people with punishments is not a deterrent, or at least nearly strong enough of one, to crime. So, folks. With all this in mind, possibly some new information you did not know before, how would you say we, as a society, could manage to lower crime rates throughout the nation? And while I speak as an American, I welcome foreign views of other nations as well. I am curious to that, too. And if you were curious, I rambled simply because I have an essay related to this to write and I wanted to jot down my thoughts haphazardly. Yet I thought it might make some interesting food for thought for some of you that are curious about such things.
Improve education and parental education, that will save you a lot of trouble!
Didn't you do this before? But yes: Jailing people isn't the answer. Rehabilitation is. Finding the root cause of their problems, fixing that, and get them back going again is the solution. Jail should only be for the un-rehabilitatable.
If all good responsible Americans owned a gun. No one would be bad. Know why? They would get shot before they had the chance to be bad.
I think Russia has the right idea, rehabilitating those who can be saved and sending those who can't to oblivion on Earth.
Cough cough, bump bump
What if crime were legal? Then there would be no crime.
I think the fear of arresting people does act as a successful buffer to good people doing bad things. Since how many times have you stopped your doing "illegal" things because of the fear you may get arrested. Also once you are arrested the chances of having a good career with a criminal record are very slim. So generally speaking I would say arresting is a good way to control are population without going against peoples human rights or discriminating against groups.
A large portion of the prison population are in for drug possesion. I would also bet a lot of woman are in for prostitution. Legalize drugs and prostitution and prison populations will drop drastically.
In a lot of cases, crimes may be better treated as a health issue. I don't want to get into specifics due to not wanting a ban of some sort, but yeah.
I say we just shoot anyone we see committing a felony, I think that would deter people if they feared getting shot.
We should stop making prisons a walled up hotel. Stop offering cable TV, pool tables, work out yards, all that crap. It's not a good thing to be in prison, so why do we allow them to enjoy themselves? Or we could just go old school and make examples out of people. If you steal, we cut your hand off. Steal again, and we cut the other hand off. Public executions for murderers and rapists that were proven guilty or confess. Bah, I don't know. Don't listen to me. I need caffeine.
[b][u][i]LOL[/i][/u][/b] You just never cease to amaze me.
Correlation isn't causation. You certainly have many valid points, but the conclusion that arrests don't lower crime rates is fallacious. Perhaps they don't lower crime rates [i] enough.... [/i]
IIRC, the prison that [google]Anders Breivik[/google] is staying in also has one of the (or [i]the[/i]) lowest recidivism rates in the world (recidivism: people getting out of jail and ending up right back in it). The facilities and programs available there are a far cry from what you'd find in US jails -- inmates lead comfortable lives and have various kinds of rehab-type programs and counseling available to help turn them into proper citizens. And, given the low recidivism rate, it's clearly working. I long for the day when the U.S. can boast of something similar, because clearly our current lock-em-all-up-and-throw-away-the-key isn't working at all.
How to decrease crime rates? put them on a live tv show where they're in a giant battle royale and the top dog gets the honor of 1 cent when/if they get out of prison. People won't want to go to prison because of all the death, and won't commit crimes.
Ties in with Brazil(?) who decriminalized Heroine and started treating the addicts rather than jailing them. Heroin use plummeted after that. Being hard on crime is a comforting notion that avoids addressing the problem. You get to punish the "bad" guys and put off having to actually fix them. Of course there needs to be a line drawn somewhere. If people get the idea that your a pushover and won't actually do shit but try to "help" them they'll try to walk all over you.

AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT: A Father's Journey Through Loss
On January 29, 1996, Fein's 30-year-old daughter, Nomi, collapsed suddenly and died minutes later, leaving behind a husband, a young daughter and a grieving family. In order to come to terms with the loss, Fein (Where Are We?: The Inner Life of America's Jews) narrates his memories of his daughter as well as his own attempts to understand her death. In the first section, which chronicles the first year after the tragedy, Fein interweaves scenes of her death and funeral with vignettes from her life. Nomi's brilliance and her deep love for others and for social justice provide a poignant counterpoint to Fein's own rehearsal of the loss generated by her death. The second section presents Fein's agonizing questions about why his daughter, of all people, had to die, and how we can justify the ways of God to humankind. Certainly Fein experiences a wide range of feelings, from anger and bitterness to acceptance, but he beautifully describes his life without Nomi as "the enduring presence of an absence." In the final section, Fein writes a letter to his five-year-old granddaughter, Liat, offering the stories of her grandparents and her mother and encouraging Liat to choose life and love in the midst of the chaos of the world. Although Fein sometimes engages in self-conscious philosophizing, his honest and searing words powerfully evoke the deeply felt loss of a child. (June)

The formula for The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise is simple: One person "dates" 25 romantic hopefuls and ideally comes out of it engaged to The One. Pair that formula with the saying "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince(ss)," and you have a reality show full of lip-locks — both pleasant and unpleasant.
In all of our years of Chris Harrison-hosted drama, we have yet to meet a Bachelor or Bachelorette who's shy in terms of kissing a variety of contestants. But of the many, many kisses we've seen, it's always the first kiss that makes or breaks somebody. And on this week's episode of The Bachelor, Juan Pablo had his first kiss of the season with Claire.
In case you missed it, it was a classic Bachelor scenario. The two were on the first one-on-one date of the season, placed oh-so-carefully in a hot tub. Juan Pablo gave Claire the date rose, to which she pulled him back into the jacuzzi and planted one on him. Do I blame her? Absolutely not. I'm impressed she waited as long as she did — the man had been shirtless for at least 10 minutes at that point. But the important question is how their kiss ranks in the overall scheme of first kisses on the show, to which I say, not great. The whole hot-tub thing felt so predictable and overdone. And to be honest, I wasn't feeling crazy chemistry between the two of them. In conclusion, it was forgettable. So who wins the award for best first kiss in my book?
If I'm being completely honest, it was originally Jake Pavelka and Jillian Harris during her season of The Bachelorette. This was before I was aware of the kind of person Jake was, a.k.a. back when I thought he was nothing more than a hot pilot who looked good shirtless. It was their first one-on-one date, and Jake pulled a maneuver that's always sexy (if genuine) — he kissed Jillian as she was mid-sentence, as if he couldn't wait one more second. Looking back, it probably wasn't genuine, but let's relive it anyway (at the 5:33 mark):
However, because that has since been ruined for me, I'm giving the award for best first kiss to Ali and Roberto. On their first one-on-one date, she had them walk a tightrope suspended between two very tall buildings. And what did Roberto decide to do? Kiss her smack in the middle of the scary experience. It was a very O.C.-esque moment, the way he pulled her mind off of heights with a kiss. Maybe it was cheesy or stupid, but I don't care. I loved Roberto and Ali, and I loved his confidence in the moment. The "come here"? Yeah, that was sexy. Enjoy it at the 5:08 mark:
What is your favorite first kiss in Bachelor/Bachelorette history?

The EU Cantina Book Club is back! We will be starting at the beginning as it now exists. The Book Club will read one book a month and will proceed from here in Star Wars timeline chronological order. If a new novel is ever released after we have passed it in the Star Wars timeline, it will be worked in at some point.
We will start this month reading Darth Bane: Path of Destruction. Next month will be Darth Bane: Rule of Two. As you may have heard the third Darth Bane novel – Dynasty of Evil, will be released in December 2009. When that novel is released, we will have passed it in the timeline and we will take a break in the timeline to go back to it.
If you have already read Path of Destruction, as it has been out for a couple of years now, feel free to contribute to any discussions throughout the month. However, please refrain from posting spoilers for those that haven't read it. We will be reading one book a month from now on. So once the month is over, posting spoilers for past books will be allowed.
A Facebook group page and a Twitter account has been created for those that would like to use those forums to post comments and interact that way. EUCantina.net will be considered the 'home page' for the book club and all updated information will be posted here first.

Poorly Houdini
edited March 2013 in Poultry Health and Welfare
Hi everyone, I'm sure this has been asked so many times with poorly chooks.
(hou)dini was fine when I let her out with the others this morning, your standard wheres the breakfast at.
But got home this evening after searching for half an hour thinking she'd been nabbed by the local foxes to find her tail down on the floor in the hen hut.
Had a gentle check & a little yolk came out, she felt 'puffy' if that gives a bit of a guide, she's obviously not well. They were powder wormed beginning of Feb so don't think that could have done it (?)
Gave her a small dose of baytrill that I had & put her back to bed.
Recomendations welcome please.
Thank you

Recomendations welcome please.
Thank you
the baytril is a wise move to work on any possible infection
you may want to try a bath for her tomorrow- just enough water to cover her vent when shes lying down.leave her for about 15 mins if shes happy there are excetions of course but most hens will relax and hopefully push out any bits of shell which could be there if an egg has broken inside .
if its a soft shell thats caustng the problem then funnily enough they are harder to lay than a normal egg because the muscles just squash it instead of pushing it.Thats why hens can wear themselves out and feel poorly if laying soft shells.
adding some calcium to her diet for a day or two could help- it helps the contractions
hope shes better soon
Do you happen to know when she laid her last egg? If it's within the last few days then it could "just" be a stuck broken egg. If it's weeks then it's probably peritonitis.
In either case - get her into a warm water bath (up to her abdomen) straight away and let her soak for a good 15 minutes. Gently feel inside to see if there is a broken shell that can be very carefully pulled out whilst in the bath.
Then gently blow dry her and keep her in overnight - in a nice warm box with clean bedding.
Continue to give her baytril at the rate of 1ml per kilo of bodyweight per day, ideally split into two doses, eg. a 2 kg hen would get 1ml twice a day. Do this for at least 7 days (but no more than 10).
Don't worry if you can't get anything out of her in the bath. Just syringe a little oil into her vent before you put her to bed and this may help.
The longest time I have known a broken shell take to come out is 16 days! All neatly wrapped inside a soft brown lump. The upset to the system will hopefully stop your hen producing more eggs in the meantime.
Please let us know how you get on.
She's a young girl with 2 others the same age (plus one old lady)
Only had 2 brown eggs today as the old girl lays rarely & hers are white.
I did smear a bit of vaseline around the area while having a check, couldn't feel anything but didn't want to distress her anymore.
They have calcium mixed in with grit.
I'll see what she's like in the morning but will have to wait till I get home from work, shame they don't do a 'take a chook to work day'.
I'll give her what Baytril I have left in the morn.
Need to get some more meds.
Thanks again for the advice. ;)
Maybe you could take your chook to work anyway and start a trend;)
Did take my budgie to work once!
Just coz the vets are in town & I work on the other side so have to pass through town to go home, pain in the bott.
That would be fun wouldn't it......
Are you sure she passed a little yolk? If so that does sound like a soft, shelless egg. These cause them a lot of discomfort but once passed, the hen acts as if she never had a problem. The baytril wont do any harm but you should complete the course of treatment. Bit of a worry that you said she is swollen, hopefully it isn't EYP. Hopefully she will bounce back tomorrow.
It was a yolk in consistancy, like I said I didn't want to poke about too much.
I suppose swollen was a bit over kill, not the hard mass my old girl got.
A little squidgy really, not hard.
Hi peeps, picked up some meds from the vet but for some reason he couldn't give me baytril something to do with a licence (?)
So instead he gave me some Noroclav for dogs, in tablets :eek:
I'm sure I can sort some way of breaking them but would it help to wash them down?
All I've got some honey? with a little warm water?
Noroclav is Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid (no idea about the second one, but Amoxy is regularly used in humans). Never heard of that being used in hens before. I'm guessing they are general, all purpose antiBs. How is she doing today? Do you have to give half a pill/quarter? Pop her on your lap, wrapped in a towel if doing it on your own. Hold her head with left hand and slip a finger gently into her beak to keep it open then pop the pill in, it should just go down. If she managed to shake her head she might throw it back out again. Good luck.
doormouse Senior MemberMeds seem to work for mine if I stuff it in a grape or a bit of catfood. My Tikka was similar Monday - a miserable heap of feathers with soft shell hanging out of her vent...I hope I got it all out and syringed olive oil into her vent and made her a calcium tablet and margerine omelette - too cold for a bath as she does stress and would hate a blow dry and being kept in! I have been giving her colloidal silver every day since - she seems much more like her old self, though I'm not completely happy with her - lost count of eggs today so will count properly tomorrow, keep an eye out and she'll have a vet trip for proper meds if need be. Hope Hou perks up for you soon!:) M
Hens are certainly easier to give tablets to than cats;) :eek:
She was out & about like nothing had happened, oddly she was taking a few high funny steps, a 'funny walk' to be exact as in the Cleese variety! had 3 brown eggs today....
Decided to crush it with a little honey & wam water, she got a bit wise to it already & tried to hide by pushing her lookee likeys to me, crafty moo.
They vet said one pill am & one pm, no half measure, little concerned about the amount.
They all usually have a treat now & again of scrambled egg, would it matter if the others ate it? Seems a waste to throw the eggs over the hedge.
(I was on amoxycillin for a chest infection too!)
lol they soon get wise to our plans!
i cant see that it would hurt at all to use her eggs for the others- any passed on into their eggs would be insignificant and not a danger to humans anyway
Agreed Kath, but as long as you are using them yourself and not selling them... you never know if someone has a serious allergy to antiBs and might react.... remote possibility but still a real one I guess. The John Cleese funny walk seems to be well known on here. My Sophie has been doing it for a while with some style. Almost as if she had studied the YouTube video of 'how to do the Ministry of Funny Walks'! Good news that she is looking good again. I found a white, soft egg sack of albumen on the step this evening (how they all missed it I don't know). I think it was Isabelle who passed it as she was looking 'off' this afternoon!
Glad Houdini is a little better.
Just an observation about the funny walk: This has happened to a couple of my hens when they have had an egg mass in the oviduct. You may have seen my recent thread re "Alice" - she walked like this a lot last year.
My old chook Ginge did as well before she had to go on her final journey, I really hope not for dini as she's just 2.....ish :(
I wonder if it's their way of getting things 'move' downstairs a bit?
I don't sell my eggs & oddly, rarely eat them myself.
She tried harder to hide tonight, sat behind my old light sussex in the nest box thinking I couldn't see her in the dark!
Think I managed to get more med's on me than down her neck tonight. It's getting more of a fight & I hate it I think I'm gong to hurt her.
I hadn't made the correlation between the walk and the final steps.... I am hoping that is a coincidence.....
Have you tried putting the pill into a piece of bread and squeezing it small so that she eats the whole thing at once? You will need to get her on her own though because someone else will grab it quick if you don't!
I'm crossing my fingers there's no coincidence either!
The tablet is a bit big I thing for her to try in one go & she's smart, she might be able to 'smell' something.
Might toy with that idea as yet, sounds like a cunning plan!
She felt quite light tonight after our battle, rather more concerned now, what would be best to feed her to gain weight?
Are you sure she is eating her regular food and not 'pretend' eating?
275wright Senior MemberI hope Houdini is feeling better. I find with tablets if you break it in half, put it inside something like a piece of grape open their beak and just pop it into the back of their throat. i know what you mean about the 'funny walk'. My two rescued girls that I got in September did this for weeks. They were very bald and once they got their feathers they didn't do it again. love Sharon xxxx
Tried hiding it & she's too cunning, didn't eat it!
Trouble is due to work I've been too late home in the evening so had to cut back to 1 tablet instead of the 2 she's supposed to have. :(
She's eating as normal, hand fed her some corn & mealworns which she munched down asap.
Hate it soooo much, must be so miserable for her knowing I'm going to 'get her' first thing in the morning.
doormouse Senior MemberSometimes I try my meds in an omelette - take sick chook to an isolated place and pretend it's a treat - especially when the others can see but not munch!:) M
Now then boys & girls, there was a pile of feathers in the hut this morning, is she actually feeling under the weather because she's moulting?
This morning I tried the other way of just putting 2 halfs of a tablet down her neck & worked better than putting it in liquid form.
Moulting does definitely make hens lose confidence and seem a little depressed, but it does seem a strange time to be moulting. Has she already moulted during the winter?
glad to hear shes on the mend :D
some breeds moult twice a year and theres also a theory that moulting habits depend on the time of year that a chick is born , most chicks hatch spring and summer and moult late autumn or winter but if born in autumn or winter then it would then mean they moult spring instead
moults also can occur after broodiness, stress or after an illness
my georgie moults several times a year as shes always going broody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my angel moulted heavily in summer after a fox attack.
so if yours has been ill or stressed out then she could easily be having a mini moult - - poultry spice will give her a boost
My heart was in my mouth last night might have discovered the cause....
Half 5 ish my old hen had gone in for the night so was watching the other 3 out the window, they couldn't see me so I wondered why they all trotted back out & headed towards the garden (stock) fence, watched for a few minutes as they were acting 'alert' then I saw IT, red in colour with a bushy tail intently watching my girls :eek:
I never moved so fast in my life just glad I had clothes on!
Totally paranoid now!
Might have been the cause, I've no idea or could be another chook moulting.
She seems a bit better anyway as we had a fight to get the tablet down & she pooped on me! :rolleyes:
:eek: Hope your fence is nice and strong!
Kath - thanks for the interesting info. I always make a note of when my hens moult and there seems to be no pattern at all :D Didn't know they could moult twice either.
that would definately cause enough stress to bring on a mini moult . you can bet thats not the first visit by mr fox and certainly not the last ...they can lie in wait just watching for days before working out their plan of attack
i really hope you can fence him out.
sounds like houdini is getting stronger each day with you - so pleased :)
helen - im a veritable mine of useless information:p
heres some more - cockerels also suffer in the moult - all the protein in their diet goes into feather production so they are temporarily infertile ....a major or too long moult can make them permanently infertile
useless info for you as i say but one day you may take the plunge and get a boyfriend for your girls:D
I doubt it with my penchant for "special needs" hens:D
I have to confess also I am one of those people who just love their early morning sleep far too much:o

The Sea Ice Edge Location and Extent in the Russian Arctic, 1933-2006 data are derived from sea ice charts from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), St. Petersburg, Russia. Provided here are sea ice edge locations, where identifiable, in each AARI ice chart and monthly and seasonal mean sea ice extents for each of the marginal seas in the Russian Arctic derived from these ice edges. The original AARI charts were constructed primarily to assist operations in the Northern Sea Route. The digital version, from which this data set is derived, is titled Sea Ice Charts of the Russian Arctic in Gridded Format, 1933-2006.
Spatial and temporal coverage vary. There is generally a chart every 10 days. However, the early part of the series only covers summer; in later years, coverage is year round. Sea ice edge position is given in decimal degrees (latitude at every degree longitude from about 30° W to 150° W going from west to east) for each of the 2877 ice charts. Landfast ice edge, multiyear ice edge, and pack ice edge data are available. Total ice cover and multiyear ice cover mean sea ice extent data, for each year, month, and marginal sea, is available as well, along with companion error statistic files.


text: I had a bearing in the diff changed as a recall item at the 3 year service. A couple of weeks later I heard a whining sound and the nearside front wheel bearing was changed FOC by the dealer. Now the offside front wheel bearing has started whining so I swapped that myself as the car is almost 2 months out of warranty. Anyone else had the recall work done? Anyone else had front wheel bearings go shortly afterwards? Car is a 2010 143 tdi multitronic. Never missed a beat until it was out of warranty

I've run one with four normal AC/5's. In chain fire the first is ready to fire just as the fourth has fired. Second weapon group was all four firing simultaneously, for those moments when I couldn't hold the target on the current vector. It was a great build, and I'll return to it once I'm done screwing around with light chassis.
It had issues with high alpha strike builds in one on one encounters, assuming the alpha strike mech had a pilot that remained calm and could aim at all well. Pretty much the same as any mech vs. a high alpha build really.

An estimated 900,000 people in the United States are infected with HIV, and about 40,000 new HIV infections occur annually. However, timely diagnosis of HIV remains a critical barrier to effective treatment. A new study, supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (F32 HS11509), recently documented missed opportunities and delays in the diagnosis of patients with HIV infection.
Jason S. Haukoos, M.D., M.S., of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and his colleagues examined medical records and other data on newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients. The patients, most of whom were minorities, were seen at an urban medical center during 1998 and 1999. Researchers analyzed data from all emergency department and clinic visits at the medical center for a 3-year period preceding the first diagnosis of HIV infection to determine delays and missed opportunities for HIV diagnosis.
Of the 76 newly diagnosed patients, 69 had made a diagnostic health care visit (DHV), and 23 had made a combined total of 53 health care visits preceding the diagnosis of their HIV infection. The median delay in diagnosis of HIV infection for patients who had a DHV was 2 days, although 19 patients had a delay in diagnosis of 30 days or more. The median delay in diagnosis for patients who had a previous visit was 112 days. Half (38) of the 76 patients had at least one risk factor for HIV documented during a medical visit.
Researchers also found that documenting of specific risk factors (such as risky sexual practices, injection drug use, or blood transfusion between 1977 and 1985) and clinical characteristics suggestive of HIV infection (such as unexplained weight loss, active tuberculosis, recurrent pneumonia, or hepatitis B or C infection) was poor. These findings underscore the need for clinicians to maintain a high awareness for the possibility of HIV infection in all patients.
See "Recognition of undiagnosed HIV infection: An evaluation of missed opportunities in a predominantly urban minority population," by Albert M. Kuo, M.D., Dr. Haukoos, Mallory D. Witt, M.D., and others in the April 2005 AIDS Patient Care and STDs 19(4), pp. 239-246.

Totally love this foundation! I've been wanting to go a little more natural as far as my makeup/skincare products go. So I deceided to give it this foundation a try when I found out what Maureen "mission" was for makeup.
I was using Everyday Minerals, which I do still like a little but I didn't like how it made my skin look on its own. I still use it over Tartes tinted moisturizer on the weekend. I use this foundation for during the week, dates with my husband & special events. Love it

Beats me. The mkinitrd script contains fairly involved detection heuristics for the root filesystem drivers. They use the /proc filesystem repeatedly, so the problem may be due to your first initrd being built with a 2.4 kernel running and the order of the controllers reversed. If you find a patch that fixes this, send it to the maintainer.
Actually, the "heuristic" for IDE disks is to load every IDE controller driver it knows, and then load the 'ide-detect' module. For SCSI controllers it's a bit more discerning, but not for IDE.

Dunno... But intrigued...
I know that sometimes they set off the canons down at albatross and you get a huge bass-rumbling "Boooooom' go through the house that makes the windows rattle. Kind of like that?
Had the music blaring all morn so havn't heard. I'll keep nitzy though. Merry Chrissie mate!
Now... Time to celebrate the birth of as doomed baby by eating some dead animals nom nom nom
Hey Harmonix, do get those huge bangs where you are? Man Iv'e heared at least 4 this morn, and some fully rattle the windows. Any clue whats going on?
Thanks for the quick payment on the Shimano XT Derailleur!
Very quick and easy to deal with, would be happy to do business again in the future.
Ok, sat morning sounds great.
I'm used to riding a geared roadbike doing fast 20-30km rides, but that's more to do with time constraints than anything. I've ridden up to 100km at more leisurely paces. As for fixed, I've just moved to Hobart and picked up a surly fixed gear. I've only done a handful of rides on it so far. Rode out past Taroona and up the sizeable hill past the shot tower and managed ok. Continuing out that way are there many more hills? Other than that, I've only ridden the cycleway, and around the city etc.
Ideally it's flatter routes for me but I'm up for whatever you're doing. I'm keen to tackle some longer rides if that's what you're used to. If you're too fast or the hills are insane, I'll just drop off and ride home. No big loss :)
Ok that sounds good.
I'm usually free all weekend apart from Sunday mornings. Shoot me a pm when you know what's happening and hopefully I'll be able to join you.
Hi mate,
noticed you're in Hobart and do some road riding. Are you still looking for people to ride with? I'm riding fixed but can keep 20-30km/h averages, depending on the hills :) I'd like to have someone to ride with occassionally but I'm probably not fast enough to join one of the early morning Dome rides etc.
Thanks mate. Just a little road rash :) Ego more damaged than anything haha
Keep Rollin!
Good post about the roadies. :) Hope you heal well

The study, published in Environmental Research, analysed the concentrations of pollutants and pesticides in more than 300 people; finding that exposure to organic pollutants found in pesticides in foods, air and water are associated with an increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes in adults.
The team of Spanish researchers demonstrate that people with higher concentrations of DDE –the main metabolite in the pesticide DDT– are four times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than other people.
Led by Juan Pedro Arrebola from the University of Granada the team found that the association applied regardless of age, gender and body mass index.
"Human adipose tissue – commonly known as 'fat' – acts as an energy reservoir and has an important metabolic function," explained Arrebola. "However, adipose tissue can store potentially harmful substances, such as persistent organic pollutants (COPs)".
"The mechanism of action by which COPs increases the risk of diabetes is still unknown," he said. "However, some researchers have suggested that COPs might cause an immunological response when they penetrate oestrogen receptors in tissues associated with the metabolism of sugars."
Study details
Arrebola and her team analysed concentrations of a specific group of COPs in the adipose tissue of 386 adult subjects assisted at San Cecilio hospital, Granada, and Santa Ana hospital, Motril, Spain.
COPs are a group of chemicals with diverse characteristics which are present in pesticides, industrial waste and building materials. These compounds penetrate the body mainly through food, but also through air or the skin. This makes COPs concentrations a useful marker of a subject's exposure to environmental pollutants and pesticides.
The team found that people with higher levels of COPs in adipose tissue were more likely to be diabetic, with a high DDT adipose level corresponding to a four-fold increase diabetes incidence.
Arrebola and her colleagues suggested that because these COPs tend to concentrate in body fat, they might be one of the reasons why obese people are more likely to develop diabetes – since the more fat the higher the COP concentrations in the body.

Kylie Minogue finds her calling as singing mentor on The Voice show
AS SHE joins the judging panel on BBC One's The Voice UK pop veteran Kylie Minogue says she joined the show to give advice to young singers despite never having had a mentor herself.
Kylie, 45, who appears on the show this Saturday, told us: "What's been interesting is when you find a morsel of information or experience or a story that just comes out in conversation.
"I've surprised myself and have thought, 'I hadn't planned that but that's a good bit of advice.' "I didn't have a mentor when I started out so I hope that I can be a good one."
Kylie joins US rapper Will.i.am, the legendary Sir Tom Jones and Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson for the new series of the talent show, adding that she isn't looking forward to rejecting wannabes.
"I don't like decisions at the best of times and this is constant decision making so I'll just have to go with that gut reaction," she says.
Black Eyed Peas group member Will.i.am, 38, who has been on the show since its beginning in 2012, says the pint-sized Aussie singer is a very welcome addition.
He said: "Each one of the contestants wants to possess what Kylie has accomplished and no one on the panel last year could provide that to the singers so I was thinking, 'Wow, Kylie would be awesome because she's the only person in contemporary music that has that experience.'"

The community roomMay 22, 2014 By Steven R. Peck
A versatile and well-used facility seeks a citizen boost for needed improvements
The familiar, popular --and useful --community room at the Riverton Branch Library needs a facelift.
Perhaps that is the wrong term. This is more than cosmetic surgery. The room is fitted with the same furnishings, accessories and technology that it had the day it opened more than 30 years ago. Years of use by countless individuals and organizations have taken their toll.
A citizen coalition, working in cooperation with the library, is out to change the situation for the better. It has set a fundraising goal of $47,200 to renovate the community room.
That is a sizable chunk of change for almost anyone as an individual, but it is a manageable sum of money for a community to raise through private contributions.
It would be nice, of course, if Fremont County government would fund the purchase of new carpeting, new chairs, new drapes and new audio-visual equipment.
The county, of course, thinks it would be even better if the private fundraising effort could cover the cost instead. If the funding request to the county did have to be made, budget makers would look more kindly on a project that had matching funds from private contributors.
That is what the fundraising effort is all about. The new Community Room Project has a good plan. Its budget is responsible and far from extravagant. If the planned improvements were to be used for the same amount of time that the original installation was, total cost for the renovation would be just a bit more than $4 per day.
When you look at it that way, there is nothing to it financially -- so long as library users will chip in.
Consider funding for five to 10 days' worth of the renovation. Consider a contribution of $10, $25 or $50.
If you have ever attended a meeting or a performance at the community room, presented an event at the community room, watched a child or grandchild play a piano recital there, or simply like the idea of having a smaller community meeting space available at low cost, then you are a perfect candidate to make a contribution to the Community Room Project.
Fundraising organizers noted that there were 200 events in the community room last year alone. Thousands of community meetings and performances have taken place there over the decades, every one of them free of charge to the audience. That is a facilities-use model well worth continuing.
Watch The Ranger for information about the series of entertaining events coming up to help raise money. And if you would like to contribute directly and immediately, it's easy. Simply call the library at 856-3556 and say "I would like to contribute to the Community Room Project." They will take it from there.
It's easy for even the most conscientious among us to take public facilities for granted. The welcoming, unassuming, versatile community room at the Riverton Branch Library is one such facility. Now it could use a little assistance from all who have used it so productively and enjoyably.
This is a good project with an achievable financial goal. Let's all help get it done.

Conservators perform complex treatments such as the removal of pressure-sensitive tapes, the reduction of stains, the repair of broken bindings, and mending water-damaged papers using the leaf caster, ultrasonic welder, cold-suction table and other specialized equipment. They also conduct routine surface cleaning, mending, and construction of archival-quality enclosures to extend the useful life of a record by mitigating environmental risk factors.The conservation unit is funded through a combination of city funds and outside grants. Recent projects include: humidification and flattening of nineteenth-century felony prosecution records; lining and paper repair of the original drawings of Washington Square Park; leaf-casting of mold-damaged pages from the Archives' collection of Colonial era manuscripts; re-housing of cracked or broken glass plate negatives; and the production of large portfolios for the re-housing of oversized architectural drawings of the Brooklyn Bridge and the city's piers and parks.

ACan I put the sps plates and legs in the dishwasher? Also, what about the Wilton plates? I don't want them to melt.
1 reply
Usually yes, on the top rack. Also once the cycle reaches the drying part unlatch the door and let them just sit to dry.
Some people think that by washing them in a dishwasher it will hasten them truning yellow. Once they do yellow there is NO way to clean them up. Many, many different tricks have been tried with little or no help.

Allergies got you down this spring? Try some of these yoga poses to ward off allergies from this Times of India article:
The summer months are bound to bring with them aches, pains, itching, fatigue and sneezing because of all the heat and humidity in the air. Today we will understand two of the most basic allergy-preventing yoga asanas that help sooth your body's reaction to the heat.
According to the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology , allergic rhinitis, which is popularly known as hay fever, occurs when the inner walls of your nose get swollen because of something you have inhaled. It further leads to a release of a substance known as histamines. According to medical experts, histamines are responsible for your puffy eyes and runny nose and they can be dealt with yoga.
When you suffer from allergies, your immune system weakens making you agitated and stressed. An unwinding excercise like yoga will help in fighting your body's fight-or-flight response and warding off allergies. Make sure that you are performing these yoga exercises in a closed room to avoid outdoor irritants.
Warrior Pose I
Warrior Pose will allow your lungs and chests to open up and will drain that irritating mucus which is the main cause of your stuffiness.
Stand straight, placing your feet firmly together and arms close to your body. Breathe in and place your feet hip-width apart. Now, raise your both your arms over your head and make sure your palms are facing each other. Breathe out by turning your left leg out 90 degrees to the right and your right leg in approximately around 55 degrees to the left. Exhale by twisting your torso and hip to face your left leg. Exhale and form a right angle with your shin and thigh by bending your left knee. Hold this position for 2 minutes and repeat on the right side. Watch video here.
Half Moon Pose
Half moon pose helps you in breathing normally by opening up your lungs and chest area.
Stand straight, placing your feet firmly together and arms close to your body. Breathe in and place your feet hip-width apart. Breathe out by turning your left leg out by 90 degrees to the left. Breathe in and extend your arm out to your shoulder-height. Breathe out and reach your left arm as much as you can to your left. Now, hold your left hand down to the floor and form a Triangle Pose. Hold yourself in this position for 2 to 4 breaths.
Further, place your right hand firmly on your hip by bending your left knee a little, and skate your right foot so that it comes near to the left one. Breathe in by reaching your left foot fingertips on the floor as you lift your right leg. Meanwhile lift your right arm and set your eyes on it. Hold this position for 4 to 6 breaths.
To come out of this position, place your right arm to its original position. Focus on the floor by slightly bending your left knee and lowering your right leg. Flatten your left knee, coming back to the Triangle pose. Change the sides and repeat! Watch video here.

Bringing you the latest in retail therapy around the Bay Area.
Although Noe Valley isn't known as the hottest retail destination, Rare Device is looking to change that. The beloved Divisadero design-centric gift store is opening up shop on the stroller-packed, 24th Street strip, right next to Noe Valley Bakery, sometime in June.
Meanwhile, Hayes Street is getting another new resident, in the form of eco-leaning boutique Convert, which will open a men's shop on the high-traffic avenue in the near future. And, in other Hayes news, Gather, a shop dedicated to local and handmade goods, is now open for biz at 541 Octavia Street.
Further West, designer bargain shop Cary Lane is opening its third boutique, in the Inner Sunset, this weekend. Come out to 1262 9th Avenue this Saturday, May 10, when doors officially open, and score yourself some deals.
Speaking of doors swinging, clothes- and coffee-slinging boutique ACRE/SF has said bye-bye to its North Beach hood, but will reopen momentarily in a soon-to-be-disclosed location. We're pretty positive it'll be equally amazing.

Alaska Tier I & II
Tier I & II Summary
Tier I & II subsistence permits are available to Alaska residents only. All Alaska residents are eligible for subsistence hunting of game populations where subsistence use occurs. A subsistence permit may be issued when there is not enough game for a general season and the population of animals has historically been an important source of human food. The application process for Tier I & II hunts can be complex. A Subsistence Supplement is available that lists species, application dates, hunt dates, Game Management Unit (GMU), and hunting specifications.
Tier I and Tier II permits are used where the board has identified a game population that is customarily and traditionally used for subsistence.
Tier I hunts are allowed where it is anticipated that a reasonable opportunity can be provided to all residents who desire to engage in that subsistence use, so everyone is issued a permit.
Tier II permits are used where it is anticipated that a reasonable opportunity to engage in the subsistence use cannot be provided to all eligible residents, and applications are scored to determine who is eligible for the limited number of permits.
When to Apply
The application period for Tier I & II hunts is November 1, 8am – December 15, 5pm (AKST). Paper applications must be postmarked on or before November 30th, while internet applications will be accepted beginning November 1 through December 15, 5pm (AKST).

The G12M Greenback has evolved over the decades but still retains its
essential, sought- after tone. This model is voiced with additional broad
mid-range attack and restrained top-end to give a forward, punchy attitude
to chords and a searing lead tone without fizz.With its well-controlled
low-end it can be used singly in low-powered amps, or in multiples for
high-power rock heads. It's an ideal speaker to bring drive and definition
to modern high gain amps.
MCM has always delivered an excellent service, ordered parts arrive on time and in excellent condition.
