By the Rev. Dr. Ed Hird
When Alexander Fleming's picture turned up on the front cover of Time magazine, the byword stated "His penicillin will save more lives than war can spend". A vivid example of this 'miracle' was the usage of penicillin on D-Day to save 3,000 on Normandy Beach from deadly gangrene. Some researchers consider penicillin to be one of the key top-secret weapons that helped the Allies win World War II.
It is hard for our modern generation to fully appreciate that before penicillin, even an infected pinprick or a tiny cut might be lethal. Hospitals were full of people with easily caught infections raging out of control. Children died regularly from scarlet fever, from infections of the bones, throat, stomach, or brain. It is no exaggeration to say that many of you reading this article would not be here today if it weren't for the miracle of antibiotics touching you and your extended family.
In 1881, Alexander Fleming was born in Ayrshire in the lowlands of southwestern Scotland. A playground accident smashed the bridge of his nose and left him looking like a battered boxer. Andre Maurois said that Fleming had those qualities which many attribute to the Scots: a capacity for hard and sustained work, a combative spirit which refuses to admit defeat, a steadfastness and loyalty which creates respect and affection, and a true humility which protects against pretentiousness and pride.
Affectionately called Little Flem, his gift of silence appeared to be inexhaustible. One colleague said that Fleming 'could be more eloquently silent than any man I have ever known.' His capacity for silence was only matched by his capacity for waiting – and for hanging on, an attribute that greatly helped him in his penicillin adventure.
The body's fight with infection was Fleming's abiding interest. One of Fleming's first breakthroughs was in the discovery of lysozyme, a natural antiseptic contained in human tears and saliva. Fleming's method of collecting lysozyme was to recruit a passing student or laboratory boy and drop lemon juice in his eye! Eventually Fleming switched to the use of egg white which has a stronger concentration of lysozyme.
Lysozyme, unfortunately, ended up being an embarrassment to Fleming because it proved useless in killing harmful diseases. As a result, his fellow colleagues mostly treated Fleming's later penicillin discovery as if it were another laboratory dead-end. Alexander Fleming always said, 'We shall hear more about lysozyme one day'. With thousands of scientific papers now written about it, the Russians use lysozyme for preserving caviar; doctors add lysozyme to cow-milk to reproduce the component structure of human milk, as well as for the treatment of eye and intestinal infections.
Fleming, being a 'packrat', never liked to throw anything away. One day, Fleming noticed a blue mould growing on one of his unwashed petri dishes. He seized the moment and changed the world forever. From that moment, Fleming became obsessed with penicillin mould, even using his friends' moldy old shoes. Fleming showed amazing ingenuity in his makeshift creation of the first penicillin 'factory', employing devices like oilcans, biscuit tins, dustbins, bedpans, milk churns, and bookracks!
For twelve long years after his 1928 discovery of penicillin, Fleming faced skeptical indifference. Penicillin was a medical Cinderella that no one wanted to dance with. 'The man of genius', writes Lord Beaverbrook, ' is often an egotist. When, as sometimes happens, he is simple and retiring, the world is inclined to underestimate his gifts…'
In 1937 Howard Florey and Ernst Chain of Oxford purified Fleming's lysozyme. From there, they purified Fleming's penicillin, making it stable, concentrated, and more useful.
When Alexander Fleming turned up in Oxford, Chain was taken completely by surprise. He had thought that Fleming was dead! Fleming generously said of the two,'We all owe a lot to Florey, Chain and their co-workers. They did not initiate penicillin but they put it on the map as an effective drug.'
By freeze-drying it at a low temperature with a neutral pH, Chain and Florey were able to purify penicillin to become a thousand times more powerful than Fleming's original mold. Once completely purified, penicillin became a million times stronger than at first!
By one biographer's account, Fleming was given 25 honorary degrees, 26 medals, 18 prizes, 13 decorations, the freedom of 15 cities and boroughs, and honorary membership in 89 academies and societies. Both Florey and Fleming were knighted in 1944, and in 1945 Fleming, Florey and Chain were jointly given the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. Medical centers, research institutes, and even a moon crater were named in honour of the beloved 'father' of penicillin. It meant a lot to Fleming as a Scot when he was elected as Rector of Edinburgh University in 1951. When Fleming received an ovation at a Spanish bullfight, 20,000 fans broke out into mass hysteria. The famous Spanish scientist Don Gregorio Maranon said of Fleming that 'God selected him to carry out the greatest miracle which humanity has ever seen'.
Yet despite all the honours showered on Fleming, fame didn't spoil him. He remained a simple humble man, not even bothering to patent penicillin for personal profit. When Fleming was asked to what he attributed his success, he said: 'I can only suppose that God wanted penicillin, and that this was his reason for creating Alexander Fleming.'
Countless millions have been saved physically through Fleming's sacrificial work on penicillin. Countless millions have been saved spiritually through Jesus' sacrificial work on the cross. When is the last time that we thanked God for such amazing acts of generosity?

Race Car Aerodynamics - Short Track Aero Drag
Learning about aero drag and how to reduce its effects
I'm sure that everyone has at one time or another been caught doing this. It is also possible that your parents told you to stop doing it or bad things were going to happen. Clearly, I am talking about sticking your hand out the window of a moving car. Parents can be such buzzkills! Until you were told to stop, you could feel the force of the air against your hand. It was something unseen, but you knew there was a force there. If you placed the palm of your hand at a right angle to the ground, you could feel the force against your hand and arm.
Conversely, by placing your hand parallel to the ground with your thumb or little finger cutting into the wind, you would feel an instant reduction in force against your arm and hand. You could change the angle of your hand and drive your arm up or down, depending on the position of your hand. You also knew that the faster your dad or mom would drive, the greater the force on your arm would be. This simple experimentation was your first foray into aerodynamics. You were experiencing the force of air-even if you didn't know it at the time. From an engineering perspective, you were feeling the force of a fluid as it acts on a solid object moving through it.
There is a great deal of energy in moving air. Just look at the damage that can be caused by a storm or the unfortunate consequences of hurricanes that have recently plagued the Southeastern portion of the United States. Just as there are great amounts of energy in moving air, a great deal of energy is expended when moving your race car through the air by the simple act of accelerating the car around the track. If you can reduce the amount of parasitic drag draining your energy bank, you could use that surplus energy (horsepower) to accelerate the car.
We all have listened to the race announcers talk about aero-push, slipstreaming or drafting, and getting the car in dirty or clean air. It is clear that on larger tracks there is a very strong effect on the car as it moves through the air. If we add more cars to the picture, the situation gets more complex and exciting. What many racers do not realize is that the effects of aerodynamics start to act on the car at speeds as low as 45 mph. Many short-track racers do not even think about the forces that the air generates for and against their cars. They seem to focus on the more visceral aspects of short-track racing. We all know that cars can reach speeds of 90 to 100 mph on a quarter-mile track, and the speeds are even higher on half-mile tracks. The cars will go even faster with added banking.
Let's spend some time talking about air and the speed you can gain by learning to work with the flow instead of going against it. First, as with any discussion, we need to have a common language. Please remember that air acts like a fluid, but it is compressible and its density varies as the weather changes.
Aerodynamics: The study of the motion of fluids (in this case air) on an object or objects and the forces created by the motion of the fluid or the motion of structures within the fluid. This is a very high-level definition. For the purposes of this discourse, we are concerned with the forces generated on a race car as it passes through the air.
Airflow/Air stream: The flow of air around the race car-front, sides, top, and bottom.
Cd: The coefficient of drag or drag coefficient. This is expressed as a number that represents the amount of drag a body creates as it passes through the air. The lower the Cd, the better. It is commonly expressed in numbers less than 1.
Drag: A force that acts against a body moving through a fluid. In our case, the fluid is air. Drag is the friction or resistance that the air generates as the body moves through it. Drag acts in an opposite direction to airflow. In our application, it's opposite to the direction the car is heading. The lower the Cd, the lower the drag that is generated as the car is moving through the air. Drag has two components: parasitic drag and induced drag. These constituents of drag are all contributory to total drag. This is a bad thing. We want to try to reduce drag if at all possible.
Downforce: A downward force generated as a body moves through a fluid. As racers, we need to balance the amount of drag versus the amount of downforce. The two are very different, and the results of each are very different in respect to improving vehicle performance. In an ideal world, we would try to increase the downforce and reduce the drag. An increase in downforce does not necessarily indicate that we will be able to reduce drag. Conversely, an increase in drag does not mean a decrease in downforce. The two are linked but not mutually exclusive.
We have all seen the huge wings on the tops of Sprint Cars and the large side boards that the Late Model racers utilize. These aerodynamic devices are used to help keep the cars stuck to the track as they rotate through the corners. The Sprint Car has a wing that has the same general shape used on an airplane, except it is mounted upside down. So, instead of creating lift, it is creating downforce. In all actuality, it is still creating lift, but the force is in the opposite direction. The principle is the same, but we pay a price for generating that downforce-we get a great deal of drag. Consequently, it takes some very expensive engines to push the cars down the track. My dad always told me there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Remember, in race car design and application, we are not trying to create lift. We are creating downforce with very little drag. That is the key-low drag and high downforce. This should be your new mantra.
Laminar Flow: The air is moving in smooth layers around our car. In this case, the air can be likened to a gently curving country road. The curves are smooth and gentle, so it is not necessary to slow down as you progress through them. That is very much like laminar flow. The illustration is somewhat simplistic, but you get the general idea. Air takes less energy to move over smooth surfaces. That is why the bodies on race cars that race at high speeds are so sensitive to small changes in shape, such as the changes caused by contact (e.g., rubbing and bumping).
Turbulent Flow: The flow is random in its shape. The air forms currents and erratic flow patterns that are contrary to the majority of the flow. The flow is disordered. Many times, this is the type of flow that our head porter brethren are trying to achieve. In actuality, they are trying to reach a balance between laminar and turbulent flow through the ports.
Boundary Layer: The molecules of air are not moving in this layer, which is usually adjacent to the surface of the body moving through the air. The depth of the boundary layer is dependent on several factors: the density or viscosity of the gas, the finish of the surface moving through the fluid, and the compressibility of the fluid (which in our case is air). For our uses, the thinner the boundary layer the better. A larger boundary layer impedes the progress of the air more than a thinner boundary layer. This is the reason that it is so important to keep the surface of the car as smooth as possible. On dirt, this is a great reason to keep the car as clean as possible between heats. A clean car not only makes your sponsor's logo more visible to the fans, it also makes a difference in performance.
Frontal Area: This is the first portion of the car the air contacts. It's a cross section of the frontal portion of the car. Visualize your race car backed up to a garage door. There are floodlights shining on the front end, and the shadow that the car casts against the garage door is the frontal area.
Anything within the structure and limitations of the rules that you can do to reduce the frontal area will improve the performance of the vehicle. If you can massage the roof line on your Modified or Stocker within the framework of the rules, it is a positive. If your racing division uses templates, make sure that your car fits the templates but is as close a fit as possible.
Racers tend to be very vocal when it suits them. There are many complaints about the cost of racing, and there is always someone or something to blame for the cost of speed. It would seem that if they could buy a few tenths for little or no money, it would generate some buzz. If you arrive early at any short track across the country and walk through the pits, you can see many racers giving away speed without even knowing it.
Ill-fitting body panels, large bolt heads in the air stream, exposed tubes, spoilers that are too large or have nothing to do with making the car go faster, suspension parts just hanging into the air stream, and tires sticking out past the edges of the fenders are all just waiting to rob you of the speed you work endless hours to achieve. Granted, many of these appendages are a required part of the car and serve a purpose, but some further thought could go into how these parts are integrated. It would be nice if, in addition to serving a valid function, they did not add to the overall drag coefficient of the car.
In the first example of our hand in the wind, we were able to adjust the amount of force that we could feel by changing the position of our hand in the air stream. We adjusted the drag and lift with one simple movement. We can also affect our race car's ability to move through the air and reduce the amount of power required to move the car down the track by adjusting the way the air interacts with the car. If we reduce the drag, the power that was previously used to overcome the drag can be used to accelerate the car.
One of the easiest ways to reduce the power-robbing effects the air has on our racing vehicles is to reduce the frontal area. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. The simplest way would be to make the car smaller. This is not always possible due to rules and the use of templates by the technical community to ensure the cars are all the same. If you can, make the car lower while still meeting the letter of the rules-you need to do it! Lower the roof, and lower the car to the track within the rules and the boundaries required to keep the car from hitting the track.
If the rules say the car has to be 4 inches off the ground, that is where you put it-not 5 or 4 1/2, but 4. While this may seem to be a simplistic solution, this activity can significantly reduce the frontal area of your car. It will reduce the size of the hole in the air that the car will be required to penetrate as it moves down the track. The larger the hole, the greater the horsepower required to move the car. As a direct result, you will have less horsepower in surplus to accelerate the car.
You also want to keep the air from under the car. For the most part, you will not find ground effects cars at the local short track. The point is to keep the air on the outside of the car. This includes the air that will go through the radiator. Get it in and then get it out. If your rules allow it, you should try to duct the air back to the outside of the car, not under it. I realize this is difficult to accomplish, but there is an advantage gained by doing this. Not long ago, I saw some Sprint Cars that had special radiators off to one side. The ducting away from the radiators dumped the air out along the side of the hood, and the air intake was on the opposite side of the car. Air in, air out-quite a clever bit of engineering!
Every surface that interacts with air should be as smooth as possible. All body joints need to be smooth, with no edges or overlapping seams facing the airflow. Look at your car and see what areas you might improve from an aero perspective. While many would like to think of this as rocket science, at these lower speeds it is more common sense than science. As the speeds increase, the need for greater levels of science is required.
At short-track speeds (below 100 mph), it is more imperative to make sure you are not giving anything away due to overlooking an area or poor preparation. You need to look at large spoilers, air dams, and air fences as devices that may not be necessary at low speeds. Rear spoilers greatly deprive a race car of power. If you don't need one, you may consider removing that 4- or 5-inch spoiler. At the very least, do some on-track testing to determine if the spoiler makes a difference. The amount of downforce a spoiler makes may be insignificant when balanced against the potential drag.
From your perspective, we need to make sure we are exploiting the rules to our full advantage. I am not suggesting cheating. We need to review the rules and make sure we are doing every legal thing to make the air around us an ally. If you have tubing exposed, place some shaped foam on the downstream side to make air flow around the tube in a less turbulent way.
Are body panels mounted with hex-head bolts exposed to the air stream? Why not use a counter-sunk screw or a flush-mounted 1/4-turn fastener to secure a body panel? Cleaning up the surface of the body can and will make a big difference, not to mention it looks more professional to the other railbirds in the pits.
Look at the wheel cutouts. Are they too big? Cutouts that are too big are just big scoops sucking in air. Make sure the wheelwells are not larger than they need to be to conform to the rules, and then make sure they are not so small that they interfere with the tire through its suspension travel and the steering function. This is just good car preparation.
It is easier to make the wheel openings larger. If you have made the fender opening too big, it may be time to replace the fender and start over or replace the metal you have cut off. If your tires are sticking out past the edge of the fender, you will want to do everything possible to cover that tire. Remember that frontal area we are so concerned about? You have fenders, so use them to your advantage.
As stated, at the lower speeds seen at the short-track level, this is more common sense than rocket science. Preparation followed by execution will help you be the guy smiling after the race with the giant check.

First impression very good but it drops as time passes by. Like being trapped in paradise. Far from everything and down by the beach there is not much action either on this side of Koh Phangan. Great view and friendly staff. Good for one night stay only. There is no room service so you have to ask them to clean the room or get new towels if needed... Both me and my fiance got sick in the stomach from the food there during our 2 days stay, although we both ate different meals for lunch and dinner. The last dinner we had to go somewhere else.

When QuickBooks accounting software works, it's great. But it's when it doesn't that things become nightmarish. Few pieces of software are so fussy about their network connection. The slightest hiccup can cause QuickBooks to throw in the towel and when that happens bad things can follow — such as the loss of valuable data. The biggest problem with QuickBooks is that when it breaks, sometimes the only resolution is to reinstall it. But even in the reinstalling, things can go wrong. TechRepublic's Jack Wallen takes a look at software you might want to avoid.

The next time you are about to give up on a goal, I want you to think of your new role model, Harriet Richardson Ames.
In this Cleveland Plain Dealer column, you can read the whole story: She graduated in 1931 with a two-year degree, and, once the college offered a four-year diploma, she wedged in courses at night to complete it. Forty years after getting her two-year certificate, she was ready to retire from teaching and wondered if she could get that diploma. She was short one course: Public speaking. And by now, she couldn't take the class due to failing eyesight.
"I was already going around talking to panels," she told film professor Larry Benaquist, who interviewed her two years ago for a documentary about the college's upcoming centennial. "The ladies' circles had me come, the Rotary had me come -- I was already doing public speaking."Administrators and faculty rallied around and figured out how to get her the diploma, handed to her the day before she died earlier this month at age 100. The video above is from the documentary footage, in which she explains some of the mixup.
Now, about that goal you were going to give up on?

I can't seem to install the legacy drivers because of too many dependencies on nvidia and nvidia-utils. How can I get the legacy drivers installed without removing a ton of other programs? Will everything still work with the 304xx drivers?

Shouldn't be a problem:
% sudo pacman -S nvidia-304xx
Post the output.

Which specific error do you get?
Which packages require nvidia and/or nvidia-utils?
According to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia/, nothing needs nvidia.
According to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … idia-utils, nvidia-utils is needed only indirectly for libgl.
Since nvidia-304xx-utils provides libgl, it should be no problem and everything should work with the legacy drivers.
Edit: too late

There are 64bit machines with Geforce 6/7 graphics? Whoa. Is this a laptop or a desktop?
Desktop with 6150SE on board.
Buy a graphic card. This is a serious suggestion. If you don't have a PCIe slot, there's a GT610 PCI available. As a bonus you'll get VDPAU.

You need to replace your out dated 32-bit libs and try again:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib3 … tils-304xx
I am getting caught in a loop trying to install the lib32-nvidia-utils-304xx. It still does not want to remove the 310.19 and refuses to 'build'.
Last edited by Axanon (2012-11-17 17:40:17)
You should contact the package maintainer of that package. You should also get in the habit of posting output to commands to avoid people losing interest in helping you.
Force the removal of 310.19. Then install nvidia-304xx and nvidia-utils-304xx. Then build lib32-nvidia-utils-304 from AUR.
pacman -Rdds --noconfirm nvidia-utils nvidia
I had success using
pacman -Sy lib32-libgl
pacman -Sy nvidia-304xx nvidia-utils-304xx
Then you can build the AUR package listed above
edit: I had to pacman -Rs some other nvidia packages as well, I forget which ones, but pacman will complain about certain files existing in the filesystem. Just run pacman -Qo on the files and remove those packages.

The Washington Post rightly points out in its editorial that the Obama administration´s response to the killings in Syria is shameful:
FOR THE PAST five weeks, growing numbers of Syrians have been gathering in cities and towns across the country to demand political freedom — and the security forces of dictator Bashar al-Assad have been responding by opening fire on them. According to Syrian human rights groups, more than 220 people had been killed by Friday. And Friday may have been the worst day yet: According to Western news organizations, which mostly have had to gather information from outside the country, at least 75 people were gunned down in places that included the suburbs of Damascus, the city of Homs and a village near the southern town of Daraa, where the protests began.
Massacres on this scale usually prompt a strong response from Western democracies, as they should. Ambassadors are withdrawn; resolutions are introduced at the U.N. Security Council; international investigations are mounted and sanctions applied. In Syria's case, none of this has happened. The Obama administration has denounced the violence — a presidential statement called Friday's acts of repression "outrageous" — but otherwise remained passive. Even the ambassador it dispatched to Damascus during a congressional recess last year remains on post.
As a moral matter, the stance of the United States is shameful. To stand by passively while hundreds of people seeking freedom are gunned down by their government makes a mockery of the U.S. commitment to human rights. In recent months President Obama has pledged repeatedly that he would support the aspiration of Arabs for greater freedom. In Syria, he has not kept his word.
The European Union has been as passive as the Obama administration. EU "foreign minister", Baroness Ashton used some strong words of condemnation, but also appears to think that the bloody dictator Assad still is part of the solution:
"The Syrian authorities must immediately stop their violent response and fully respect citizens' right to peaceful demonstrations," Catherine Ashton said. "The killings are appalling and intolerable."
"I call on the Syrian government to carry out profound political reforms, starting with the respect for basic rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law," she said. "That process can only be made possible by putting an immediate end to all repressive

Assembly hears budget concerns
The Haines Borough Assembly Tuesday discussed potential ways to keep the pool open, including possibly raising fees or implementing a membership system.
The assembly discussed the matter during its second public budget workshop.
Manager Mark Earnest is recommending the pool be closed for three months in the summer to save about $35,000 in the budget.
During the Tuesday meeting, Victoria Moore and Suzanne Vuillet-Smith spoke out in support of the pool and its importance to the community, saying they would be happy to pay more for the service if that's what it takes to keep the facility open year-round.
Vuillet-Smith said the pool not only provides recreational activity, but promotes water safety through swimming lessons during the summer. Closing the facility would set a "dangerous precedent" for how borough funds are spent and withheld, she said.
"I frequently say to people, 'I could not live in Haines, Alaska, if it weren't for good daycare, a good school system and the pool,'" Vuillet-Smith said.
Assembly member Debra Schnabel requested a report on pool usage, including data on the number of swims recorded, from pool manager RaeAnn Galasso. Schnabel said the data could possibly be used to calculate how much fees would need to be increased to fill the $35,000 hole.
Scott suggested the borough conduct some sort of survey to gauge pool user receptiveness to increased fees.
Assembly member Steve Vick said he would like to give the pool staff an opportunity to present solutions for saving money, such as cutting staff hours or reducing the pool temperature by a couple degrees.
Though Earnest's budget shows a roughly $500,000 deficit for the upcoming fiscal year, it also shows a $2 million fund balance in the areawide general fund and $1.9 million fund balance in the townsite service area.
Earnest said in his experience, the rule of thumb is to keep four to six months of operating expenses in fund balance.
"I know there are organizations that have a lower minimum threshold, but I believe that it would be highly irresponsible to go lower than four months, and I strongly believe that six months is appropriate for Haines," he said in an interview Wednesday.
In addition to discussing the pool's budget, the assembly also looked into other departments Tuesday night, including public works, public facilities, solid waste, sinking funds, the harbor, water, sewer, Port Chilkoot dock, Lutak dock and fire service areas.
While the assembly asked questions of the various department heads about specific line items, few concrete recommendations emerged from the three-hour meeting. Schnabel did request the borough start charging residents for hazardous waste clean-up and disposal, which assembly member Norm Smith agreed with.
Earnest said he would check to see what the program requirements are and if the borough could start charging for the service.
Discussion of the harbor revolved around the facility's $52,000 deficit, which harbormaster Phil Benner said would be alleviated once the harbor is expanded and can accommodate more users (there is currently a 200-person waiting list). The Port and Harbor Advisory Committee will also discuss rate increases during an upcoming meeting, Benner said.
The $52,000 will come out of the harbor's fund balance, which is projected to remain above $7 million in the next fiscal year, chief fiscal officer Jila Stuart said. The harbor is an enterprise fund, which means the fund balance includes the capital asset, expenses and annual depreciation of the asset.
The budget also includes:
● $2,900 for new dais chairs in the assembly chambers;
● $500 for iPad accessories;
● $5,000 for a new "Welcome to Haines" sign at the Port Chilkoot dock;
● Making an $18,000 assistant to the public facilities director position permanent;
● $1,950 for Jilkaat Kwaan dancers at the Port Chilkoot dock;
● $2,200 more for flowers than last year's budget, for a total of $10,750 between the Port Chilkoot Dock, the administration building and public safety building.
Smith said in an interview this week he supports the $2,900 for new chairs. "The chairs suck. They look comfortable, but you know those chairs have been up there for 15 years... The ergonomics of chairs has dramatically changed here over the past 10 years."
The assembly's budget, which includes the chairs, will be discussed at a future budget meeting.
After the Tuesday meeting lasted longer than anticipated without even exhausting the list of topics originally slated to be discussed, the assembly agreed to schedule an additional budget meeting for April 25 at 4:30 p.m. This is in addition to an April 23 meeting at 4:30 p.m. Because of the change, topics for the meetings will need to be rearranged and reposted, Scott said.
The assembly also scheduled a budget workshop devoted solely to the school board's budget for 5:30 p.m. May 14.

Versace Resort 2012
After the exuberant flashbacks of her Fall 2011 collection, Donatella Versace was mining the family archive again for resort 2012. This time around, she turned her hand to the exotic hothouse prints that were in full bloom back in the mid-nineties. To give new form to those iconic florals, she filtered palm fronds and hibiscus through the sensual line of Henri Matisse; the swirling Miami palette on one body-skimming minidress was particularly hypnotic. Several designers have been drawing on tropical flora and fauna for inspiration this season, but recasting these cliché picture-postcard associations for a sleek urban setting isn't easy. Versace did it the right way, and her dark, painterly curves had an alluring touch of danger about them.
Broad references aside, the finer points traced through the collection were worth revisiting. One black leather trench was perforated with thousands of crescent moons, an intricate stamped leatherworking technique known as traforato. And what appeared to be shiny polka dots on a pair of cropped black pants was the hard-edged twinkle of metal grommets. That ultraluxe take on subversive embellishment has been making the rounds again, and harks back to a especially triumphant moment in Versace's history, involving a young Liz Hurley, a plunging black dress, and a handful of artfully placed safety pins. Given the current demand for jaw-dropping red-carpet looks, Donatella is wise to mark her territory with the devilish details.

61.871 Policy of KRS 61.870 to 61.884; strict construction of exceptions of KRS 61.878
The General Assembly finds and declares that the basic policy of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 is that free and open examination of public records is in the public interest and the exceptions provided for by KRS 61.878 or otherwise provided by law shall be strictly construed, even though such examination may cause inconvenience or embarrassment to public officials or others.
61.8715 Legislative findings
The General Assembly finds an essential relationship between the intent of this chapter and that of KRS 171.410 to 171.740, dealing with the management of public records, and of KRS 42.720 to 42.742, 45.253, 171.420, 186A.040, 186A.285, and 194A.146, dealing with the coordination of strategic planning for computerized information systems in state government; and that to ensure the efficient administration of government and to provide accountability of government activities, public agencies are required to manage and maintain their records according to the requirements of these statutes. The General Assembly further recognizes that while all government agency records are public records for the purpose of their management, not all these records are required to be open to public access, as defined in this chapter, some being exempt under KRS 61.878.
61.872 Right to inspection; limitation
(1) All public records shall be open for inspection by any person, except as otherwise provided by KRS 61.870 to 61.884, and suitable facilities shall be made available by each public agency for the exercise of this right. No person shall remove original copies of public records from the offices of any public agency without the written permission of the official custodian of the record.
(2) Any person shall have the right to inspect public records. The official custodian may require written application, signed by the applicant and with his name printed legibly on the application, describing the records to be inspected. The application shall be hand delivered, mailed, or sent via facsimile to the public agency.
(3) A person may inspect the public records:
(a) During the regular office hours of the public agency; or
(b) By receiving copies of the public records from the public agency through the mail. The public agency shall mail copies of the public records to a person whose residence or principal place of business is outside the county in which the public records are located after he precisely describes the public records which are readily available within the public agency. If the person requesting the public records requests that copies of the records be mailed, the official custodian shall mail the copies upon receipt of all fees and the cost of mailing.
(4) If the person to whom the application is directed does not have custody or control of the public record requested, that person shall notify the applicant and shall furnish the name and location of the official custodian of the agency's public records.
(5) If the public record is in active use, in storage or not otherwise available, the official custodian shall immediately notify the applicant and shall designate a place, time, and date for inspection of the public records, not to exceed three (3) days from receipt of the application, unless a detailed explanation of the cause is given for further delay and the place, time, and earliest date on which the public record will be available for inspection.
(6) If the application places an unreasonable burden in producing public records or if the custodian has reason to believe that repeated requests are intended to disrupt other essential functions of the public agency, the official custodian may refuse to permit inspection of the public records or mail copies thereof. However, refusal under this section shall be sustained by clear and convincing evidence.
61.874 Abstracts, memoranda, copies; agency may prescribe fee; use of nonexempt public records for commercial purposes; online access
(1) Upon inspection, the applicant shall have the right to make abstracts of the public records and memoranda thereof, and to obtain copies of all public records not exempted by the terms of KRS 61.878. When copies are requested, the custodian may require a written request and advance payment of the prescribed fee, including postage where appropriate. If the applicant desires copies of public records other than written records, the custodian of the records shall duplicate the records or permit the applicant to duplicate the records; however, the custodian shall ensure that such duplication will not damage or alter the original records.
(2) (a) Nonexempt public records used for noncommercial purposes shall be available for copying in either standard electronic or standard hard copy format, as designated by the party requesting the records, where the agency currently maintains the records in electronic format. Nonexempt public records used for noncommercial purposes shall be copied in standard hard copy format where agencies currently maintain records in hard copy format. Agencies are not required to convert hard copy format records to electronic formats.
(b) The minimum standard format in paper form shall be defined as not less than 8 1/2 inches x 11 inches in at least one (1) color on white paper, or for electronic format, in a flat file electronic American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format. If the public agency maintains electronic public records in a format other than ASCII, and this format conforms to the requestor's requirements, the public record may be provided in this alternate electronic format for standard fees as specified by the public agency. Any request for a public record in a form other than the forms described in this section shall be considered a nonstandardized request.
(3) The public agency may prescribe a reasonable fee for making copies of nonexempt public records requested for use for noncommercial purposes which shall not exceed the actual cost of reproduction, including the costs of the media and any mechanical processing cost incurred by the public agency, but not including the cost of staff required. If a public agency is asked to produce a record in a nonstandardized format, or to tailor the format to meet the request of an individual or a group, the public agency may at its discretion provide the requested format and recover staff costs as well as any actual costs incurred.
(4) (a) Unless an enactment of the General Assembly prohibits the disclosure of public records to persons who intend to use them for commercial purposes, if copies of nonexempt public records are requested for commercial purposes, the public agency may establish a reasonable fee.
(b) The public agency from which copies of nonexempt public records are requested for a commercial purpose may require a certified statement from the requestor stating the commercial purpose for which they shall be used, and may require the requestor to enter into a contract with the agency. The contract shall permit use of the public records for the stated commercial purpose for a specified fee.
(c) The fee provided for in subsection (a) of this section may be based on one or both of the following:
1. Cost to the public agency of media, mechanical processing, and staff required to produce a copy of the public record or records;
2. Cost to the public agency of the creation, purchase, or other acquisition of the public records.
(5) It shall be unlawful for a person to obtain a copy of any part of a public record for a:
(a) Commercial purpose, without stating the commercial purpose, if a certified statement from the requestor was required by the public agency pursuant to subsection (4)(b) of this section; or
(b) Commercial purpose, if the person uses or knowingly allows the use of the public record for a different commercial purpose; or
(c) Noncommercial purpose, if the person uses or knowingly allows the use of the public record for a commercial purpose. A newspaper, periodical, radio or television station shall not be held to have used or knowingly allowed the use of the public record for a commercial purpose merely because of its publication or broadcast, unless it has also given its express permission for that commercial use.
(6) Online access to public records in electronic form, as provided under this section, may be provided and made available at the discretion of the public agency. If a party wishes to access public records by electronic means and the public agency agrees to provide online access, a public agency may require that the party enter into a contract, license, or other agreement with the agency, and may charge fees for these agreements. Fees shall not exceed:
(a) The cost of physical connection to the system and reasonable cost of computer time access charges; and
(b) If the records are requested for a commercial purpose, a reasonable fee based on the factors set forth in subsection (4) of this section.
61.8745 Damages recoverable by public agency for person's misuse of public records
A person who violates subsections (2) to (6) of KRS 61.874 shall be liable to the public agency from which the public records were obtained for damages in the amount of:
(1) Three (3) times the amount that would have been charged for the public record if the actual commercial purpose for which it was obtained or used had been stated;
(2) Costs and reasonable attorney's fees; and
(3) Any other penalty established by law.
61.876 Agency to adopt rules and regulations
(1) Each public agency shall adopt rules and regulations in conformity with the provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 to provide full access to public records, to protect public records from damage and disorganization, to prevent excessive disruption of its essential functions, to provide assistance and information upon request and to insure efficient and timely action in response to application for inspection, and such rules and regulations shall include, but shall not be limited to:
(a) The principal office of the public agency and its regular office hours;
(b) The title and address of the official custodian of the public agency's records;
(c) The fees, to the extent authorized by KRS 61.874 or other statute, charged for copies;
(d) The procedures to be followed in requesting public records.
(2) Each public agency shall display a copy of its rules and regulations pertaining to public records in a prominent location accessible to the public.
(3) The Finance and Administration Cabinet may promulgate uniform rules and regulations for all state administrative agencies.
61.878 Certain public records exempted from inspection except on order of court; restriction of state employees to inspect personnel files prohibited
(1) The following public records are excluded from the application of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 and shall be subject to inspection only upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction, except that no court shall authorize the inspection by any party of any materials pertaining to civil litigation beyond that which is provided by the Rules of Civil Procedure governing pretrial discovery:
(a) Public records containing information of a personal nature where the public disclosure thereof would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy;
(b) Records confidentially disclosed to an agency and compiled and maintained for scientific research. This exemption shall not, however, apply to records the disclosure or publication of which is directed by another statute;
(c) 1. Upon and after July 15, 1992, records confidentially disclosed to an agency or required by an agency to be disclosed to it, generally recognized as confidential or proprietary, which if openly disclosed would permit an unfair commercial advantage to competitors of the entity that disclosed the records;
2. Upon and after July 15, 1992, records confidentially disclosed to an agency or required by an agency to be disclosed to it, generally recognized as confidential or proprietary, which are compiled and maintained:
a. In conjunction with an application for or the administration of a loan or grant;
b. In conjunction with an application for or the administration of assessments, incentives, inducements, and tax credits as described in KRS Chapter 154;
c. In conjunction with the regulation of commercial enterprise, including mineral exploration records, unpatented, secret commercially valuable plans, appliances, formulae, or processes, which are used for the making, preparing, compounding, treating, or processing of articles or materials which are trade commodities obtained from a person; or
d. For the grant or review of a license to do business.
3. The exemptions provided for in subparagraphs 1. and 2. of this paragraph shall not apply to records the disclosure or publication of which is directed by another statute;
(d) Public records pertaining to a prospective location of a business or industry where no previous public disclosure has been made of the business' or industry's interest in locating in, relocating within or expanding within the Commonwealth. This exemption shall not include those records pertaining to application to agencies for permits or licenses necessary to do business or to expand business operations within the state, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection;

Unless exempted by other provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884, public records exempted under this provision shall be open after enforcement action is completed or a decision is made to take no action; however, records or information compiled and maintained by county attorneys or Commonwealth's attorneys pertaining to criminal investigations or criminal litigation shall be exempted from the provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 and shall remain exempted after enforcement action, including litigation, is completed or a decision is made to take no action.

(2) No exemption in this section shall be construed to prohibit disclosure of statistical information not descriptive of any readily identifiable person.

61.880 Denial of inspection; role of Attorney General
(1) If a person enforces KRS 61.870 to 61.884 pursuant to this section, he shall begin enforcement under this subsection before proceeding to enforcement under subsection (2) of this section. Each public agency, upon any request for records made under KRS 61.870 to 61.884, shall determine within three (3) days, excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after the receipt of any such request whether to comply with the request and shall notify in writing the person making the request, within the three (3) day period, of its decision. An agency response denying, in whole or in part, inspection of any record shall include a statement of the specific exception authorizing the withholding of the record and a brief explanation of how the exception applies to the record withheld. The response shall be issued by the official custodian or under his authority, and it shall constitute final agency action.
(2) (a) If a complaining party wishes the Attorney General to review a public agency's denial of a request to inspect a public record, the complaining party shall forward to the Attorney General a copy of the written request and a copy of the written response denying inspection. If the public agency refuses to provide a written response, a complaining party shall provide a copy of the written request. The Attorney General shall review the request and denial and issue within twenty (20) days, excepting Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, a written decision stating whether the agency violated provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884.
(b) In unusual circumstances, the Attorney General may extend the twenty (20) day time limit by sending written notice to the complaining party and a copy to the denying agency, setting forth the reasons for the extension, and the day on which a decision is expected to be issued, which shall not exceed an additional thirty (30) work days, excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. As used in this section, "unusual circumstances" means, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to the proper resolution of an appeal:
1. The need to obtain additional documentation from the agency or a copy of the records involved;
2. The need to conduct extensive research on issues of first impression; or
3. An unmanageable increase in the number of appeals received by the Attorney General.
(c) On the day that the Attorney General renders his decision, he shall mail a copy to the agency and a copy to the person who requested the record in question. The burden of proof in sustaining the action shall rest with the agency, and the Attorney General may request additional documentation from the agency for substantiation. The Attorney General may also request a copy of the records involved but they shall not be disclosed.
(3) Each agency shall notify the Attorney General of any actions filed against that agency in Circuit Court regarding the enforcement of KRS 61.870 to 61.884. The Attorney General shall not, however, be named as a party in any Circuit Court actions regarding the enforcement of KRS 61.870 to 61.884, nor shall he have any duty to defend his decision in Circuit Court or any subsequent proceedings.
(4) If a person feels the intent of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 is being subverted by an agency short of denial of inspection, including but not limited to the imposition of excessive fees or the misdirection of the applicant, the person may complain in writing to the Attorney General, and the complaint shall be subject to the same adjudicatory process as if the record had been denied.
(5) (a) A party shall have thirty (30) days from the day that the Attorney General renders his decision to appeal the decision. An appeal within the thirty (30) day time limit shall be treated as if it were an action brought under KRS 61.882.
(b) If an appeal is not filed within the thirty (30) day time limit, the Attorney General's decision shall have the force and effect of law and shall be enforceable in the Circuit Court of the county where the public agency has its principal place of business or the Circuit Court of the county where the public record is maintained.
61.882 Jurisdiction of Circuit Court in action seeking right of inspection; burden of proof; costs; attorney fees
(1) The Circuit Court of the county where the public agency has its principal place of business or the Circuit Court of the county where the public record is maintained shall have jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884, by injunction or other appropriate order on application of any person.
(2) A person alleging a violation of the provisions of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 shall not have to exhaust his remedies under KRS 61.880 before filing suit in a Circuit Court.
(3) In an appeal of an Attorney General's decision, where the appeal is properly filed pursuant to KRS 61.880(5)(a), the court shall determine the matter de novo. In an original action or an appeal of an Attorney General's decision, where the appeal is properly filed pursuant to KRS 61.880(5)(a), the burden of proof shall be on the public agency. The court on its own motion, or on motion of either of the parties, may view the records in controversy in camera before reaching a decision. Any noncompliance with the order of the court may be punished as contempt of court.
(4) Except as otherwise provided by law or rule of court, proceedings arising under this section take precedence on the docket over all other causes and shall be assigned for hearing and trial at the earliest practicable date.
(5) Any person who prevails against any agency in any action in the courts regarding a violation of KRS 61.870 to 61.884 may, upon a finding that the records were willfully withheld in violation of KRS 61.870 to 61.884, be awarded costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in connection with the legal action. If such person prevails in part, the court may in its discretion award him costs or an appropriate portion thereof. In addition, it shall be within the discretion of the court to award the person an amount not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25) for each day that he was denied the right to inspect or copy said public record. Attorney's fees, costs, and awards under this subsection shall be paid by the agency that the court determines is responsible for the violation.
61.884 Person's access to record relating to him
Any person shall have access to any public record relating to him or in which he is mentioned by name, upon presentation of appropriate identification, subject to the provisions of KRS 61.878.

Fringe jacket: Banggood || Paisley shirt: Romwe || Studded western belt: Topshop || Bandits shorts: One Teaspoon (via ASOS) || Platform boots: Vagabond
For this Wednesday I have a 70s inspired rocker look I really love. I received this gorgeous leather jacket and the paisley shirt almost at the same time and I immediately loved the idea to wear both together. The jacket is definitely a statement piece and its very well made for its price. To me the cognac brown shade in combination with the blue paisley vintage print couldn't look better. The whole look is definitely very me and includes all my favorite details.

Jobs and Professions Q&A
Do I need friends to get promoted?[edit]
No… at least, not directly. Most jobs require you to eventually suck up to the boss, and some want you to make some friends among your co-workers. You can do either of those with job strategies, meaning you won't need to make friends outside of the office (whatever your office may be). However, personal friends are required to increase the Charisma skill, which in turn is needed to be promoted up the Political career track (and a couple others), so you'll need some friends to go up those careers. Compared to the original two Sims games though, you don't need to have long lists of friends to get ahead.
I'm bored of working! Can I take off early?[edit]
Unlike the previous games, yes, you can leave work early! Just cancel out the command from the action queue, and your Sim will leave work. His work performance will suffer a bit, of course, but you'll still get a paycheck for any time you did work.
I left work early, but didn't mean to this time! Can I go back in?[edit]
Yes to that too. Just go into the Job Panel, then click the little button with a house and arrow under the career symbol. That gives a "Go To Work" command. Alternatively, you can just interact with your employment building.
Situations may appear where you'll want to leave work early, say, to fulfill an opportunity, then want to go back right to work. You can use the Go To Work command for that purpose, so you can do your little side-quest and not miss more than an hour or two of work.
I'm an inventor, and I wound up making a mechanical gnome. Does he have any magic powers?[edit]
Absolutely. If your Sim has started a project on the workbench, then stops for the night, there is a chance that the mechanical gnome will almost fully finish it overnight for you. When you wake up and start the invention again, it will be at 99% completion, requiring only a few minutes working at it to compete. Note that it's not guaranteed that the mechanical gnome will help you out, but the no-risk chance is certainly worth keeping one around.
What skills do I need to be self-employed?[edit]
You need at least one point in any of the following skills: Fishing, Gardening, Inventing, Painting, Sculpting, or Writing. Also, if you have The Sims 3: World Adventures installed, you can also be self-employed in Nectar Making or Photography if you have at least a skill point of either.
Are there any additional benefits to being in professions other than the interactivity?[edit]
Yes, there is a major hidden benefit that is not mentioned in any part of the in-game help. When a Sim is employed in an interactive job, and he turns into an Elder, you can have him retire from the profession as with conventional jobs. The crazy part is that when you retire from a profession, you get a MASSIVE pension.
We can't stress the word "massive" enough. It's MASSIVE. We're talking like THOUSANDS DAILY if you hit the top of the career track. A Generation-1 Sim who hits Level 10 of a profession and retires will pretty much set his kids for life; a married Generation-1 couple who both retire from professions can pretty much start using their pensions to buy up the neighborhood and basically have the family own the whole city within one or two additional generations. You can Donald Trump your way to Sims victory!
What's up with the drafting table? All the options seem to work on the Painting skill.[edit]
Yes, all three options of the drafting table increase the Sim's Painting skill. However, it seems to gain faster if you just select the "Practice Painting" command. If you pick "Research Architectural Designs," you'll gain your Painting skill slower, but you'll increase your job experience toward being an Architectural Designer if you are in fact employed as such. Same with "Research Fashion Designs": you'll gain Painting slower but you'll increase your job experience as a Stylist if you are indeed employed as one.

Woonsocket, RI
Christian Burial & Cremation Society
Exclusive Funeral Home Provider
Fournier & Fournier Funeral Home
99 Cumberland Street
Woonsocket, RI 02895
Christians choosing cremation in Woonsocket, RI trust the cremation service that honors those of all Christian denominations, Fournier & Fournier Funeral Home. The cremated remains are placed in a worthy vessel and brought to church for the funeral liturgy.
God does not give us rules in the Bible about burial or cremation. There is no command to bury, and there is no prohibition to cremate. At the resurrection it will not make any difference whether a person's body has been buried or cremated. God knows how to raise the body, either in the resurrection of life or the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28-29).
The casketed bodily remains are honored by being brought to the church. This is the most important part of the Christian funeral service. A Christian funeral service or Liturgy celebrates the faith of the deceased and Christ's victory over death and suffering.
But, when cremation takes place before the Funeral Liturgy, the cremated remains which have been placed in a worthy vessel are brought to church and set upon a pedestal. A candle is positioned near the pedestal. The Prayers after Death and the Vigil for the Deceased may be adapted as necessary and appropriate and used before the Funeral Liturgy. The Rite of Committal with Final Commendation may also be celebrated at that time.

University of Chicago, 1953, B.A., Liberal Arts
Oxford University, 1955, M.A., Philosophy, Psychology & Physiology
Stanford University, 1956
Harvard University, 1960, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology
Keith Conners was born and raised in Utah with an older sister and a twin sister. He spent his first year in school in a one-room schoolhouse in Ophir, Utah. After his appendix ruptured, his family moved to Salt Lake City to obtain better medical treatment. At 15, he skipped most of high school and went to study in Chicago. He became a clinical psychologist and founded the ADHD program at Duke University. He has done a number of studies of how foods affect attention in children, including writing a book called Feeding the Brain. Although he is retired, he occasionally lectures and consults. He also spends his time, writing, reading, and painting oil and watercolors. He credits the Rhodes experience for pointing him to psychology as his profession, as well as providing him with peak experiences that have lasted a lifetime.
Q. I read that you were born in Bingham, Utah. At what age did you move to Salt Lake City?
From Bingham, I moved to a little mountain village called Ophir. Ophir in the Bible was the place where King Solomon's mines were supposedly located. It was a small town that served a large mining operation nearby called The Hidden Treasure. I lived in this canyon town until I was five. I still regard that experience as "a hidden treasure" in my growing up.
It was there that I did my first "psychotherapy" at the age of four. There was a lady in her late 80s named Mrs. Howerth, who lived down the road. On the way to work, my dad walked past her house. He had to climb over a mountain about five miles to where they were mining. He did that every day and learned that Mrs. Howerth who lived on his was was there with nobody to take care of her.
He suggested to me that it would be nice if I would take her a pot of soup. So I lugged a pot of soup to her little house where she had chickens, and introduced myself. She was gracious and charming, and sat in one small room with the rest of the house closed off. I sat in a chair and she started talking with me. She was very glad to have company and liked to talk about her life. She would have been one of the original pioneers in that part of the country before Utah was a state. She had a husband who had long since passed away, and there was a portrait of him that sat behind her. He was in a cowboy hat and had a red beard. She told a lot of really interesting stories about their pioneer days. I would sit there for hours listening to her tell these stories. A day or two later, I would come back and bring her some more food, or groceries, or just to listen to her stories. That was how I learned to sit still and listen for a long time to people's life stories. It is one of my fondest memories, not only because of the beauty of the surroundings, but also because of the quiet harmony with adults who allowed us to explore freely while still feeling safe wandering through the valley unattended most of the time.
I lived there until I had a ruptured appendix, when they rushed me to a hospital in Salt Lake City. I had contracted peritonitis and in those days with no antibiotics, it was a fairly serious event. Since there was no hospital, or medical care near the canyon, we moved to Salt Lake in 1939. I remember that time fairly vividly. When I was getting treatments for peritonitis, I remember seeing headlines in the newspaper that Hitler invaded Poland. I would have been six years old. I grew up in Salt Lake until the end of the Second World War.
