Blood in urine (pee) isn't usually caused by anything serious but you must get it checked out by a GP.
See a GP if you notice blood in your urine, even if:
- you don't have any other symptoms
- it's only happened once
- there's only a small amount of blood
- you're not sure it's blood
Blood in your urine may be bright pink, red or dark brown.
Blood in urine must be checked out because it can be a sign of cancer. This is easier to treat if it's found early.
What happens at your appointment
The GP will ask about your symptoms and may need to examine your bottom (rectum) ↗, or vagina if you're a woman.
They might also:
- ask for a urine sample or arrange a blood test
- prescribe antibiotics if they think you have an infection
- refer you to a specialist for tests
Causes of blood in urine
Blood in your urine could come from anywhere in the urinary tract – the bladder, kidneys or urethra (the tube that carries pee out of the body).
If you have other symptoms, this might give you an idea of the cause. Don't self-diagnose – see a GP if you think it's blood in your urine.
|Other symptoms
|Possible cause
|Burning pain when peeing, need to pee often, smelly or cloudy pee, high temperature (fever), pain in sides or lower back
|urinary tract infections (UTIs) ↗
|Very bad pain in sides, lower back or groin that comes and goes, unable to lie still, feeling sick
|kidney stones ↗
|Older men (common in over-50s) finding it difficult to pee, needing to pee suddenly and often, waking up to pee in middle of the night
|enlarged prostate ↗
When it might be something else
It may not be blood in your urine if:
- you've recently eaten beetroot – this can turn your urine pink
- you're taking a new medicine – some medicines can turn urine red or brown
- you're bleeding from your bottom ↗ instead
- it's happening during your period ↗

A Texas Republican on Monday said President Obama's gun control campaign is a fraud based on fake messages over Twitter.
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) accused Obama of trying to make support for his position look stronger than it really is by flooding Twitter with messages from people who don't exist.
"Obama's anti-gun campaign is a fraud," Stockman said. "Obama's supporters are panicking and willing to do anything to create the appearance of popular support, even if it means trying to defraud Congress," he added. "I call upon the president to denounce this phony spam campaign."

Back-to-school shopping isn't a big deal for me. Why not? Because I don't do it. Yes, I have a child. And yes, she's in school. In fact, she's 16 and starting the 11th grade this year. But I don't see the point of "back to school" shopping? In my opinion, it's just another marketing ploy to get people (i.e. primarily mothers) to spend ungodly amounts of money on STUFF at a predetermined time of the year. I mean, think about it...
School just ended two months ago -- TWO months! What is so different in a span of two months that makes you want to go out and buy all new stuff?
Did li'l Johnny outgrow the clothes he was just wearing last week? Why does he need new(er) clothes to go to school? It's still hot outside, so what are you gonna buy -- MORE summer clothes? Or are you going to send that baby to school in a long-sleeve shirt and sweater?
How about the shoes you just bought him last month? Did he wear them out already? Are they no longer good enough? Is he going to a place to learn or to a fashion show?
You're probably saying, "But Single Ma, li'l Johnny needs school supplies too!" True. But where are all of those pens, pencils, crayons, erasers, binders, and filler paper you bought last year -- did he ever use them all? I bet not. Where are the left overs? In the closet? In the toy box? In the trash? Disappeared in thin air? Do you have any idea? They NEVER use all of that crap.
The book bag. Why does li'l Johnny need a new one every year? Unless the strap or zipper is broken, the book bag is still usable. All it does is hold books anyway.
The lunch box. Did the other one perish with last year's food?
Now, don't get me wrong, I do realize that notebooks (I'm not talking about binders with filler paper) aren't reusable and pens and pencils are lost, but the former are $2 to $3 each and the latter are 50 cents for a pack of 10. So what's the point of all the other crap?
Why are families spending HUNDREDS of dollars on "back to school" shopping? Did you know retailers consider this time of year as one of the most profitable shopping seasons, only third in line after Christmas and Mother's Day? I don't get the hype, and I won't allow you to fall for it either.

I am delighted as Chair of the Friends to welcome you to our website. Bushy Park and Home Park are two wonderful large green oases in the south west corner of London. Feeling wild, they are natural places with ancient histories, fascinating heritage and superb wildlife. Both are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) containing rare species. These are places to be enjoyed and conserved. Which is why the Friends exist, campaigning, supporting and protecting the parks, and enhancing visitors' enjoyment with information, advice and guidance.
We are always pleased to receive feedback. You can contact us by clicking here.
Members and non-members can receive emails about events in the parks. To subscribe, please enter your email address below.
Do you have any interesting photos of bygone Chestnut Sundays? Why not send them in and we might feature them in one of our galleries.
For more information: Click here to email us.
With more members our voice is stronger when we campaign to protect the Parks, and with more subscription income we can do more to provide information and education about the Parks, their wildlife and their history.
Join us today!
On Saturday 8 June 2019 from 11am to 3pm members of the Friends of Bushy and Home Parks will be at the SHAEF memorial (near SHAEF Gate) and at Teddington Gate to help you envisage the scene 75 years ago when General Dwight D Eisenhower and his staff in Bushy Park were planning the campaign to liberate occupied Europe.Full report...
The Visitor Centre next to the Pheasantry café is where our volunteers help visitors find out more about the parks and where visitors can purchase souvenirs of your visit to support our work.

After looking at the resources available to us, I settled on Tomie dePaola for our author of choice. He is featured on our favorite database, PebbleGo, and we had a number of books by him that we would be able to choose from to compare and contrast.
I prepped the students by introducing them to the Super 3 research model using a YouTube video I found. The video is concise, visual and really helps even the youngest student understand what they need to do to complete a project.
The author study was essentially divided into two big parts: researching Tomie dePaola and his work, and creating projects to show what we know.
Part I: Learning about Tomie dePaola
The Question
For our Project Based Learning experience, we started with this question: Who was Tomie dePaola and what were some of his major characters, settings and the problems and solutions in his stories?
Plan - Research
I explained to the kids that our plan was to learn about Tomie dePaola first, watch some recordings of his stories, then choose three books to read that were by Tomie dePaola. While we were reading, we would take notes on graphic organizers as part of the "Do" phase.
|PebbleGo has some excellent selections for
author biographies!
Do - Research
We first turned to PebbleGo to learn about dePaola's life as a whole class. As part of their research, the kids used the notes sheet under "Activities" on PebbleGo and wrote down notes about why he was important and what he did.
Using Discovery Education's Board Builder, I collected a number of videos of Tomie dePaola's work, and during our book fair, in small groups, students watched those videos on our Smartboard. For this particular activity, students just needed to watch and enjoy - we had too many distractions to take notes on the story. The activity was enough though to give students an idea of some of dePaola's characters, and the kids for sure remembered Strega Nona.
As a side note - if you've never used Board Builder, you can see a blog entry [here] with 50 ways to use it. Here's a great, quick video that walks you through the basics of how to use Board Builder by Pulaski S D Technology Integration:
Do: Reading the Stories & Taking Notes
I let each of the classes choose which books by dePaola they wanted to read, and with a little encouragement, all of the classes chose to read Strega Nona, Her Story. Some other favorites that the kids picked were Big Anthony and the Magic Ring and Bill and Pete to the Rescue. For each story, students filled in a "First Grade Story Map" to keep track of characters, settings, major events and favorite parts. We did the first one together as a class, and then with each of the next stories, I gave students a little more ownership of completing the work themselves. You an check out the handout {here}.
Review: Notes & Ideas
After each story, I took a quick opportunity to help students review their work and notes and to make sure students were understanding the content and to help them "flesh out" their ideas more if they needed to. They were really excited about the stories and what they were learning as we went, and they couldn't wait to get to the project piece.
Part II - Makerspace Inspired Projects
Our question, now that we were finished learning about Tomie dePaola and his work, shifted to: How can we share what we have learned about Tomie dePaola, his books, characters and settings with other people in our school.
I reminded the kids of our Plan, Do, Review process, and explained that there would be two parts to our "Planning" phase: we would need to brainstorm a list of project types, and then create a plan for making the project.
Plan- Brainstorming Projects
Using the Smartboard, I acted as a scribe for the class and let the kids call out different project types they could do. I asked them to think about to our "maker centers" before Winter Break, and asked them to look at the things we had around the room and in our makerspace area
that would be good to use for a project. Each class came up with many different possibilities. Each of the classes realized they could use the Lego table to build the setting of Calabria, they saw the puppet theatre and realized they could make and record a puppet show of their favorite story, they saw the markers and crayons and identified that they could draw large murals and characters to hang.
that would be good to use for a project. Each class came up with many different possibilities. Each of the classes realized they could use the Lego table to build the setting of Calabria, they saw the puppet theatre and realized they could make and record a puppet show of their favorite story, they saw the markers and crayons and identified that they could draw large murals and characters to hang.
The most original (and for me terrifying) project ideas kids came up with were to make stuffed animals and sculptures. It took everything I had not to totally nix those ideas. I really can't sew a button on a shirt, and my clay modeling skills are next to nothing. Instead of saying no, I asked them what they thought they would need to make those projects work...and to my surprise the kids had a do-able answer. They didn't even plan to sew anything, all they needed was some felt, stuffing and a glue gun, which I could totally handle. For the sculptures the kids asked for Model Magic - after some investigation and consultation with the art teacher, that seemed like a do-able material as well.
From our lists, each class chose 6 projects from the brainstormed list to work with, and then each student got to choose the project type that was most appealing to them. The only restrictions I put on them was for the lego table, I told them I couldn't let any more than 6 students work on the Lego table at once because it wasn't big enough, and the rule was they had to use the pictures from the books to build and not destroy other people's contributions. Each student found something to work on that they really had a sincere interest in doing.
Plan: Project Materials and Timeline to Finish
Each project group met together at a library table, and using the collaboration board created a list of materials they would need to complete the project, a goal for finishing the project, and in some cases a rough draft or sketch of what they needed to do. Once they had their plan written down, they sent a group spokesperson to me to approve their plans and give feedback if needed.
Do: Projects
Most classes had about three weeks to complete the projects. Groups worked together, when necessary I intervened to help them problem solve, but mostly I just got a chance to step back and watch them go. Some of the projects were more successful than others. The Lego setting of Calabria turned out great, and the kids developed some great art work. Some of groups did not quite have enough time to totally finish because we ran out of school days, but I could tell from listening to them work together that they really were understanding the characters in the stories.
Review: Time to Celebrate
On the last day of library for the year, I gave students 30 minutes to finish up their work, and then we took some time to share projects and debrief. The kids were amazed at what each of the groups had created and were really excited to share with each other.
Here are pictures of some of the projects. I think they turned out great - and the kids were extremely proud of their work:)
|I love these projects because they were entirely student driven and completed (minus some hot glue gun work from me)


text: Harry and his wife are driving in the country when he sees a sign that reads: "Cow For Sale -- $5,000." He pulls in and says to the farmer, "There's no cow in the world worth $5,000." The farmer says, "Oh, yeah? Take a look at this." He lifts the cow's tail and Harry sees that the cow has a snatch just like a woman. Harry gets back in the car, turns to his wife and says, "It's just not fair. Here's this farmer with a cow that has a snatch like a woman and it's worth $5,000, and here I am, with you, with a snatch like a cow, and you're not worth ."


text: You Suck at Parking No, you really do. So Mercedes is just going to take the pesky task of parallel and perpendicular parking away from you. Lexus, Ford and other automakers have had this functionality for a while, but what sets the Mercedes system apart is not only will it detect if a space is big enough for your S, it will automatically steer, accelerate and brake both into and out of the spot.Avoiding Bambi and Grandma With Night View Assist Plus Driving at night poses challenges that even the best headlight technology can't overcome, so a few years back Mercedes introduced a night vision camera that takes place of the speedometer. In this third generation of Night View Assist, the system automatically detects everything from pedestrians to large animals (think deer and cows) anywhere between 330 and 525 feet away. Combined with the latest detection and braking systems, the S-Class will be able to stop itself before taking out both bipeds and quadrupeds.Don't Know the Speed? Look at the Dash. Stereo cameras mounted on the windshield also keeps track of road signs, displaying speed limits, construction warnings and other information on the dashboard for quick reference. And if you want to pass another car in a no-overtaking zone, you'll get a warning and even a subtle nudge through the wheel.Avoid the T-Bone Automatic braking isn't anything new for Mercedes. But with the latest brace of sensors and cameras, the new S-Class does more than keep you from whacking the car in front or getting rear-ended by the moron behind. It also prevents you from getting hit from the side. Brake Assist Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist alerts the driver if he's about to get broadsided with visual and audible warnings. If he doesn't take action – or applies too little brake pressure – the S will stop itself.Inching Towards Autonomy For years, Mercedes has offered a radar-based cruise control system that allows the driver to set a speed and never touch the brakes, even in start-and-stop traffic. Now Distronic Plus is going a step forward with steering assist and semi-autonomous following. The steering tech helps you stay centered in the lane by boosting the sensation of torque through the steering wheel whether traveling on a straight strip of freeway or along a country road. The following tech is far more interesting, and finally delivers on the promise of a way to make traffic-clogged commuting slightly more bearable. Using the steering assist system, a set of stereo cameras and radar sensors at the front and rear of the car, the S-Class will follow the vehicle ahead and the road markings (even detecting broken lines) without you doing anything. It's functional at speeds between 20 and 124 mph, but don't plan on double-fisting your iPhone and venti latte on the way to work — the system detects when the driver's hands have been removed from the wheel and automatically shuts down. Lame.No Bulbs for You! LED technology has been infiltrating cars for nearly a decade, appearing first in Audi's odd illuminated eyebrows and then filtering down to the most plebeian Hyundais and Hondas. But Mercedes is going all in, replacing every single bulb in its new S-Class with LEDs. All told, the Germans claim there are nearly 200 LEDs illuminating not just the road, but the interior and even the luggage compartment. Engineers love LEDs because they're miserly with power and throw far more light than traditional incandescent bulbs. Mercedes' engineers have used the tech to create, essentially, permanent high-beam headlamps. The headlamps are always going full-blast, but when of the car's cameras detects another vehicle, it automatically dims the bulbs so as not to blind the poor sap behind the wheel. The same tech is used on the taillights, which decrease in brightness during the day and increase in intensity when the pedal is stabbed at full-force.The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been the pinnacle of high-tech luxury for going on three decades. But the democratization of technology means that the S-Class' breakthrough feature a decade ago is now available on the lowliest of Korean econoboxes. Mercedes needs to up its game to keep pace with its cross-town rivals, so the all-new S-Class – due out sometime next year – will drive itself in traffic, bend its light beams around oncoming cars, prevent you from taking out a cow and have pyrotechnically deployed seat belts. Just to give you an idea of the depth and breadth of the S-Class' tech, here's how it keeps track of the world around you: It has two short-range radar sensors up front, another two at the rear, a long-range sensor mounted in the grille, a stereo camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror, four cameras positioned around the vehicle to provide a 360-degree view and 12 (12!) ultrasonic sensors mounted at strategic points around the sedan. But what it doesn't have is a single light bulb...A Smarter Seat Belt Mercedes engineers were obviously looking for something – anything – else to tweak on the new S-Class, so they decided to take a stab at the lowly seatbelt. First, each belt buckle is equipped not just with a light, but a motor that extends the buckle up from the seat so you'll never hunt for that interminable little slot again. But there's a safety aspect matched with the convenience. It's part of Mercedes' new Pre-Safe Impulse system, which actively pulls occupants away from the direction of the impact when the crash occurs, then automatically retracts the belt slightly to dissipate the energy. When the vehicle comes to a rest, the belts provide slack to allow movement and to help emergency workers extricate passengers. And if that's not enough, the S now features airbags in the seatbelts to triple its size to dissipate even more energy. And Mercedes claims it's more comfortable to boot.All images courtesy of Mercedes-Benz

Although the alcohol-exposed babies' growth remained within normal range, the findings reveal effects of drinking on the developing human brain. The study will appear in the May issue of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
"What this tells us is that the earlier you abstain in a pregnancy, the better the outcome," said lead author Nancy Handmaker, a University of New Mexico clinical psychologist with expertise in maternal-fetal health.
Alcohol use during pregnancy is a leading preventable cause of birth defects and developmental disabilities in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder -- which includes a range of cognitive, emotional and behavioral problems -- may be present in as many as one of every 100 births.
The study authors obtained routine ultrasound data from 167 pregnant women who had reported a history of hazardous drinking before pregnancy. Of these, 97 were classified as heavy drinkers. The study compared the fetal growth measures among drinkers who quit after learning of their impending motherhood to those among women who continued to drink.
Within the heavy drinking group, the ultrasounds revealed that fetuses of the continuing drinkers had a smaller ratio of head-to-abdominal circumference, which indicates reduced skull growth. They also had smaller measures of the cerebellum, a region of the brain involved in many mental, motor and sensory tasks.
Fetal growth measures were essentially the same among nondrinkers and those who quit when they learned of their pregnancy. "There may have been measures that were not part of routine ultrasound examinations that would have been more sensitive to the pre-recognition drinking," said Handmaker.
The authors say that while women's own reports of their drinking habits may not be entirely accurate, the study findings are consistent with other research on fetal alcohol exposure in animals and humans.
"The provision of feedback on fetal development as revealed in ultrasonography may be a strategy to encourage heavy drinkers to seek treatment during pregnancy," concludes the study.
CDC would like to see intervention efforts start even earlier. "The best opportunity to identify and intervene with women at high-risk for an alcohol-exposed pregnancy is prior to pregnancy," says Louise Floyd of the Fetal Alcohol Prevention Team. "What we are hoping to see is a major shift in looking at a healthy pregnancy as something that we start to support in the preconception period."

While Warner Bros.' big-budget fantasy "Jack the Giant Slayer" stalled at home, the film got off to a better-than-expected start in Asia, where it sprouted $14.3 million in 10 smaller markets over the March 1-3 weekend in kicking off its overseas rollout.
In fact, in that sampling of international territories, the pic got off to a 46% better start vs. Warners' comparable family adventure film, "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," which wound up earning more than $220 million at foreign wickets. "Jack" also performed in line with the $200 million-plus international grosser "Wrath of the Titans."
With a budget of $190 million, however, "Jack" faces a giant beanstalk-sized climb toward profitability.
The pic opened to just $27 million Stateside, and is unlikely to reach $100 million domestically, putting more pressure on its playability overseas. And while Asia contributed plus-sized results (the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk" is lesser known there), the film still will have to deal with "Oz the Great and Powerful" bowing in the region day-and-date March 9.
The top territory for "Jack" by far was South Korea, where the pic earned $4.8 million from 511 screens. "Jack" crossed $1 million in five other territories, including Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore and the Philippines. It was No. 1 in eight of its 10 territories.
Warner begins expanding "Jack" over the March 15-18 weekend, with bows in Germany, Mexico and Spain. Australia, China, Japan and the U.K. will follow the weekend of March 22-25.
Meanwhile, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" afforded Warners some better news: The pic crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, becoming just the 15th film ever (but the fourth 2012 release) to do so.

I don't need/want fancy built-in samples or anything, but supporting piezo triggers and dual-zone cymbals is a must, as is variable hat pedal support. I'll mostly be using it with Logic's Drum Kit Designer (which accepts hat pressure via modwheel or via VDrum's protocol which is also what my current Alesis piece of shit uses).
And, for reference, here's the list of cheap drum brains that have disappointed me, and why:
- The Ion IED01 (which was made by Alesis)
- The Alesis one that's in the TriggerPad (which was actually pretty okay except the hihat protocol only worked with BFD, which is terrible)
- The Alesis one that's in the TriggerIO (which worked pretty okay except it started sending spurious MIDI events, and when that wasn't enough it recently decided to start sending spurious USB events that made my computer go completely haywire in the middle of a recording session)
If I were looking to just build a new kit from the ground up I'd be considering the VDrum TD-4KP but I already have a bunch of drum triggers and mounting gear and so on. But it seems like most of the standalone drum brains worth looking at are even more expensive than that complete kit, so...

KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
KDE 2.2alpha2 is here! Blessed by release master Waldo Bastian only a few hours ago, this release has a ton of improvements over KDE 2.1.x. You can view the ChangeLog or glance at the alpha1 announcement for an overall idea of some of the changes versus the stable branch. However, to discover the rest of the cool stuff -- such as the new regexp filter in KNewsTicker or the Kicker taskbar/extension improvements -- you'll have to download KDE 2.2alpha2 and see for yourself. As usual, source is available as well as binary packages (read our policy) for Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE and Tru64. Debian users should check the regular sources. Keep in mind that this alpha release is not for people who expect a stable desktop, there is a short list of known problems already.

Here are my Konqueror loading times
This first time I open konqueror it can take ~5 seconds to load. This is on a Thunderbird 1100 with 128 MB RAM.
Opening konqueror after the first time is significantly faster (normally around 2 seconds). However even this FEELS much slower then opening a window in Win98 (which seems to happen instantly after the first time). Once konqueror is loaded it seems fairly responsive.
I'm running RedHat 7.1 with a new kernel (2.4.4). I've turned off a lot of daemons (cron, at, sendmail, gdm, ect) to speed boot time. DMA transfers are enabled (I get close to 30 MB/s transfer rate).
Maybe there should be an option to keep parts of konqueror loaded in memory (for people with lots of RAM)?

Kde Control centre is asking for kdeprintd which I cannot locate anywhere.
Anyone any clues to its whereabouts? Or is it a bug...

Same thing with me. When I try and print to a printer from kmail or konqueror I get the following error:
Unable to start child print process. The KDE print server (kdeprintd) could not be contacted. Check that this server is running.
When I print to a postscript file and then print that from commandline with lpr it works fine.
I'm using RedHat 7.1 RPMs (with updated pcre, openssl, readline et c.) with these kde packages.

Seven years of this error, I'm guessing it's either neglected or intended to catch miscellaneous errors. What would be nice is if the error window offered to restart kded, linked to information about how to restart kdeprintd, or anything else that would be helpful for end users who don't know anything about the KDE subsystem.

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
I hope the the audiocd:/ioslave check for the encoding ogg and mp3 libraries at runtime and not at compile time. I think distributors can't add the libmp3 to their distribution. So it would be nice if I can _only_ compile libmp3 and the audiocd:/ioslave from the distribution rpm works with mp3 encoding.
By Bernd at Fri, 2001/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
I think there is a desire among the developers to check for external libraries at runtime when possible. I don't know if they have done it with libmp3, but they have with libssl. I guess it really depends on how easy the task is. Using dlopen() on LessTif libs at runtime would be nice, but I don't see it happening. libmp3 sounds more plausable.

Well, I must admit there is some sense in that. Actually I'm eagerly awaiting for Suse 7.2 to arrive in my snailmailbox. I have mdk8.0 at work and realized that I prefer 7.2 to 8.0. The "User friendly" Mandrake desktop which is screwing up my menus and stuff is more and more getting to be a pain in a body part close to my chair. But I dont wanna start a distro war ;-)

Re: Mandrake 7.2?
There are two options...
I have been one of the people yelling at Mandrake to at least make the menus optional. If you use many desktops they are handy (but not what they are billed as because they are still different). If you want to get anything done though you will probably just run KDE and get your work done. ;-)

They are optional, in 8.0.
There you go. Plain KDE menus.

OT: Mandrake menus
which is of cause really nice, but I think the main complain about the mandrake menus is that editing them is a pain in the ... and still dosen't really work. Each time you compile a program (and decide to keep it) you have to fight that thing (i don't know what else to call it) and still it does no work. Weird entries sneaks in that are not accessible in the thing, and all one can do is delete all files in ~ related to mandrake menus, but then of cause the modifications are lost.
A shame, since besides the obvious inability of mandrake to create GUI apps and the scary lack of documentation, the idear of a global menu as well of th structure it self are actually nice...

For a Universal Linux Menus Management
Anders says :
> I think the main complain about the mandrake menus is that editing them is a pain in the ... and still dosen't really work.
For me it works. But, yes, it is a pain... And it is a similar pain with the KDE editor...
Comparing the KDE desktop and the Windows one, I think that the biggest weakness for KDE, is the menu editor. It is a pain to have such a programm (you have to call it, find the good directory, the good icon, modify/delete/add, save (it's long...), close, and go again in the menus to verify...). On windows you don't have such a "menu editor" You only have to to do right click, "Properties" to modify, "Delete" to delete", or "open" for adding a shortcut. It's very cool.
I hope that the QT team will someday do such a thing (but does Qt allows it ?)
About Mandrake menus, they exist for two good reasons, I think :
But good reasons have bad secondary effects. The first one, for us, is that the KDE users don't recognize the KDE programs. And they have to manage the menus with a Gtk program...
However, the two reasons are good. Isn't it possible that the KDE and Gnome teams work together to find solutions ? (with Mandrake ? and other distros ?) For instance by defining a common hierarchy with 3 main sets (1 KDE, 1 Gnome, 1 others), so that :
I feel that the management of the start menu is a big difficulty for the user, chiefly if he choose a new distribution (how to keep his menus ?). Mandrake, alone, tries a solution. But it needs the participation of the Gnome and KDE team...
I hope something as a "Universal Linux Menus Management" !! Ulmmmm...
By Alain at Sat, 2001/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: For a Universal Linux Menus Management
Yes, there is some work going on between KDE and Gnome developers, to merge and harmonize the menu structure.
By David Faure at Sat, 2001/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: For a Universal Linux Menus Management

Yes it would, but remember there are expensive server resources involved. Even Ximian can't keep up anymore with the software updates: I hear people complaining all the time about how useless Red Carpet has become because of that.
I suppose things may change when there's a stable release, nonetheless a LOT of work is involved on the server end; those KDE-oriented channels won't happen by magic.
On the bright side, I hear people may be porting the Ximian Setup Tools to KDE. Hey Kent, I can't access any of your screenshots on Geocities. :(

Konqueror? And more...
I've tried 2.2 alpha a little (just the necessary to download 2.1.2 again), and Konqueror seems to be really broken... I know, I know, it's *alpha*, but Javascript in 2.2 alpha is really broken.
Someone talked about loading times... well, generally here things are fast (2.1.2 + SuSE 7), but I noticed a little slow down with 2.2 alpha... maybe, again, it's the "alpha" part. :-)
Some neat things tho. I tried some new settings in the control panel (like fade-in menus and such), and now that I'm back to 2.1.2, those settings still work. :-)
By Marcelo at Fri, 2001/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: Konqueror? And more...
imho... alpha1 is the best of both worlds right now - I noticed specific fixes/improvements with Konqueror compared to 2.1.1 - but alpha2 gives Konqueror a set of crutches for things I was already enjoying with alpha1.
(hopefully the Konqueror problems get sorted out ASAP - I've already reverted to alpha1 again ;-)

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
Er, didn't the original KDE2.2 schedule call for a beta 1 release around this time?
Or did the KDE team change the release schedule, adding a second alpha release before beta 1? Does this mean we will have to wait until (end of) august 2001 before we get 2.2, instead of the original mid-to-end of july?
I'm wondering if this means we can kiss the Qt 3.0-based KDE 2.3 (or 2.whatever) goodbye for this year... Well, anyway, release it when it's ready not before.
By Anonymous Coward at Fri, 2001/06/01 - 5:00am
Yes, KDE-2.2 BETA 1 was planned.
But since beta means feature complete, bug fixing only and some coders/features didn't arrive in time and to emphasize the improtance the KDE team puts on high quality beta1 was renamed to alpha2.
Here is the release plan:
By Moritz Moeller-... at Sat, 2001/06/02 - 5:00am
Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
As of now, we have renamed the first beta -> alpha since the code quality has not reached the desired level yet. Depending on 2.2beta1 we will decide whether to follow up with 2.2final or whether to add another beta.
We have good stable releases out there so there is little time-pressure on this release.
A Qt 3.0 based release will mostly depend on the availability of Qt 3.0 and gcc 3.0. Once those
With KDE/Qt/gcc 3.0 we will finally be able to deliver a stable binary compatible platform for some time to come.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but why do you have to wait for GCC 3.0 to create a Qt 3.0-based KDE release? Couldn't you use GCC 2.9x?

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
GCC 3.0 will break C++ binary compatibility. Instead of breaking binary compatibility twice: one with the switch to Qt 3.0, and the other with the switch to GCC 3.0, might as well wait for them both to be available and then hope for stable KDE binary interfaces that will endure for at least a year...

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
KDE will have to change to gcc3.0 and qt3.0 eventually. There is nothing stopping the distros from making even more incompatible versions of KDE. The distros can also keep using gcc2.95 if they like, but they can not make a gcc3.0 based KDE before gcc3.0 is out.
The options for the KDE team are:

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
Well, releasing KDE3 before gcc3 is done can't really happen, as gcc3 is planned to be out in this June.

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
Linus "officially condemn"ed Red Hat for using gcc 2.96. That didn't make Red Hat revert to 2.95. Mandrake tries to be compatible with Red Hat no matter what stupid things Red Hat does.
If a major distribution release a new x.0 between when gcc 3.0 is released and KDE goes Qt 3.0, you can bet they are gonna use gcc 3.0, cause they wanna have all the newest stuff, they even include betas and cvs snapshots.
I used to work with sales people. They did things that made the company lose money, cause they got their commission anyway. Distributions sometimes gives me the same feeling ;)
PS! Gcc 3.0 based KDE will still be called KDE 2.x.

GCC 3.0 still won't compile a kernel for me ...
... not saying I haven't done something wrong here but this is linux 2.4.5 and latest gcc-3.0 pre-release
Don't get me started on the idea of compiling stuff on FreeBSD with gcc3.0 hahaha

Re: KDE 2.2alpha2 is Out!
Ouch. I was not aware of this. I wonder why (again, excuse my ignorance here) gcc 3.0 does that: does it produce (executable) code that is significantly smaller, what?
Anyway, if we have to wait for the new gcc, how close is it to actual release? Are we in alpha territory, late beta, ???

It is important to choose the cap according to the features and function of the final product. You should keep in mind the product's viscosity and choose the orifice of the cap based on that. For acidic and corrosive filling materials it is particularly important to choose appropriate materials for the cap.
We offer flip top, disc top, push pull and softener caps, screw on or snap on versions made from plastic or metal too. For some products it could be important to use tamper evident or child resistant caps. You should also consider the current trends, but it is more important to harmonize the colour, form, style and other parameters of the cap with the plastic bottle.
Also consider the technical parameters of the cap and choose the correct neck size and neck type.

Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake with Earl Grey Crème Brulee Filling
Speaking about cake, gourmetbaking is participating in CAS (California Against Slavery) by donating a cake of selection for the winner who won the bid. All of the money will benefit the organization to stop slavery (in any kind of form) in California. You can go here to read more about this. There are plenty of items that other people donated, which you can bid too, for a good cause! The bidding will end on Wednesday, December 8, only in two days. Not so much time, but hey... again, it's for a good cause :)
I knew it from the beginning that I will be making a chocolate cake since E is a true chocoholic while H is pretty much fine with everything. So, the usual process where I need to think hard of what cake I want to make that would please me and them was pretty much skipped as I knew what I wanted to "experiment". Being not so much of a chocolate fan, I always try to sneak in some other flavor to compliment the chocolate rather than having a true 100% death by chocolate flavor (unless requested). I've always curious to put both chocolate and earl grey in the same cake as I think they would make a really nice pairing. To me, Earl Grey has that warm feeling kind of taste that reminds me of the cold Fall/Winter, not that I'm an expert on tea but that's the impression I got when I have warm Earl Grey milk tea.
this cake and I LOVE it! Trying to create the same type of crunch, I made a paillete feuilletine layer in the bottom layer, but instead of using hazelnut praline and gianduja paste like the other cake, I decided to make it using milk chocolate, butter, and cocoa nib. I wish I have some praline paste on hand, but I didn't and I don't know where to get them (suggestion is well-appreciated).
The component of this cake is:
- 2 layers of chocolate sponge brushed with brandy (I wish I had whisky on hand) for the bottom and middle layer
- pailette feuilletine with cocoa nib
- dark chocolate mousse
- earl grey creme brulee
- dark chocolate glaze
I cheated and used ready-made crunchy dark chocolate chips for the decoration. I didn't have much time to take pictures too as I was gearing up and was baking some cake base for the wedding cake prep.

love this idea of your cake. I would like to know how you make the creme brulee for cake filling. Did you bake it seperately and then transfered it on the cake? I was confused since creme brulee is very soft texture and how do you do that? Please give me a little hint. Thank youuuuuuuuu

Hi Wita,
I baked the creme brulee in a round pan. After cooled, I froze it until completely frozen. To unmould, I dip it in a hot water, you can also use hair dryer or blow torch to warm the bottom and side of the pan. You can also line your pan (bottom and side) with aluminum foil for easier removal after frozen

This indicator also diverged at the last two bull market tops. It is now showing a huge divergence that I think is probably indicative of a third cyclical bull market top forming.
17 comments:
Excellent illustration. I have seen other divergences pointed out on other sites. Enough all together that it must be respected. So much so that I agree, I believe we have topped out and are heading lower, though it will certainly be a rocky road getting there, just like the previous instances. Keep up the good work.ReplyDelete
This looks more like wishfull thinking rather than divergence.ReplyDelete
As one can clearly see in the first two examples, there are two CMF tops or highs on which divergence was based.
Price made higher high while CMF made lower high.
In this last example there is no lower high in CMF, hence there can be no divergence.CMF first needs to make new high
I respect most of Gary's comment but this chart really do not show the divergency. It has not made a higher high with lower volume of money flow in. Yes, we are in a inflection point in the stock market and near the cliff. Sooner within a week or two, we will know if Mr. market wanted to jump.ReplyDelete
Let me be clear, because it seems like a lot of people want to read something into my writings that simply isn't there.ReplyDelete
I'm not suggesting anybody short the stock market. The Fed has made it clear that they are going to try and keep asset markets levitated. The battle between the Feds printing press and deteriorating fundamentals is not the kind of environment where longs or shorts are gonna have much success.
Recent economic data and the jobs report has made it abundantly clear that the economy is starting to roll over. If the economy is heading into another recession there is no way the Fed will be able to keep asset markets inflated.
I believe the economy is starting to roll over into the next recession.I think that means that the stock market is now in a topping process.
By the way, there is a clear divergence as money flows topped at the first of the year while the stock market continued considerably higher into May.
During this entire period money flows have continued to decline even during the rallies. Now in July the weekly money flows are threatening to turn negative.
I agreed with Gary's veiw,the economy is getting worse not better. S&P and NAS is forming a clear head and shoulder pattern awaiting for last nail in the coffin. This time though will be unlike 2008, the duration may take longer and slower until a flat and quiet market prolonged bottom. Prepared to enjoy a couple of years stock market vacation. Gold is already too high in price in reality, and I will leave it to the people willing to take the risk.ReplyDelete
Good Luck Gary and the fleas.
Tobby, I hope you can see Money flow divergence on all Money flow peaks there (eg: 2009, 2010) but market has continued upper. In other words, your interpretation is invalid!!ReplyDelete
Well, market may fall from here but it wouldn't mean it is because you found out divergence.
There is no divergence whatsoever.ReplyDelete
Falling money flows mean one thing, divergence is something else.
I don't know why Toby insists on it, when in his own words he doesn't care for indicators,oscillators and technical analysis, only cares about cycles,market breadth,put to call and stuff like that.So, better leave divergences to us technical analysts.
I come to this site to see Toby's perspective based on his cycle theory's because that's where his strength is.
It's actually the cycle count that makes me believe that this market is topping.ReplyDelete
The next four year cycle low is due sometime in 2012. We have been in a secular bear market since 2000. In a secular bear market the move down into a four year cycle low always corresponds with a recession. A recession means a cyclical bear market in stocks.
Cyclical bear markets tend to last year and a half to two years. So in order for the four year cycle low to bottom in the normal timing band this market has to top some time this year.
The volatile back-and-forth action of the last several months and test of the March lows is suggesting that this market is already well into the topping process.
The POMOs and Fed manipulation have rendered all technical and fundamental analysis, tools and charts absolutely useless. Precious metals prices will be contained and controlled like EVERYTHING else. If gold/silver were allowed to continue their natural upward rip, concerns and rumors about the dollar might abound, and we wouldn't want that now, would we? The "no-limit" credit card of Bernanke will see to it, using "whatever means necessary" to quell any rumors and crush any doubt.ReplyDelete
If that was the case then how do you explain gold rallying 10 days in a row?ReplyDelete
I am saying gold/silver WILL BE contained/crushed through stealth manipulations when the $%&t finally hits the fan i.e. underlying fundamentals may justify $3500 gold or $150 silver in the near future in the face of Fed's perpetual printing press, but JPM will step in and take care of business should PM prices get out of control. They have done it before, what makes u think they won't do it again??!ReplyDelete
{this is not to say that people cannot catch the wave up and profit before PMs are inevitably suppressed; my point is that it is very difficult to use market tools in an environment where the markets are heavily and relentlesly manipulated}
How can you, with a straight face, claim there is manipulation after watching silver go from $8.50 toe $50 in two years?ReplyDelete
The manipulation nonsense just never ceases to amaze me.
haha, how can you with a straight face say that there's no manipulation in the markets? In fact you have conceded that yourself many times (Fed is gonna fight the bear tooth and nail, etc etc -- isn't that manipulation?). Today's manufactured rally is a case in point. Why should the PM markets somehow be immune from manipulation?ReplyDelete
Again I'm saying all this not to criticize you or your work but to express the challenges of investing in rigged markets.
Of course there's always executive orders ('6102') or Gold Reserve Acts that they can pull out of the hat :)
Sure the Fed is going to print money and try to levitate the stock market. Bernanke has said as much himself. I take him at his word.ReplyDelete
But there is no need to manipulate the precious metal markets. The money supply is not tied to gold anymore. Gold is meaningless. The Fed is free to print as much money as they like.
So what possible reason could there be to throw away billions of dollars trying to suppress a meaningless market?
Not to mention gold is a 24-hour market and unless the Fed can find a way to stop Chinese and Indians from buying gold there is no way for them to suppress price.
Sorry but since you conveniently always disappear when the market goes against you and never own up to your mistakes even though you want everyone else to, you have lost your privilege to post on this blog.ReplyDelete
Another very suspicious clue to a top is the propensity of a soon-to-correct market is at the peak of earnings report and the positive reactions. If we go back to the last top, it was at end very end of April 2010. The market turned down on the first day of May, after selling down 25 %.ReplyDelete
Declining new highs and continuing light volume makes for a very susceptible stock market.
Nice work Toby. I stumbled on your commentary a couple of months ago and it struck me as well thought out arguments. I've done well very much thanks to you.ReplyDelete

1947 Plymouth Convertible - Big Frog
A Homebuilt Resto Rod From The Heartland
Out there on U.S. Highway 36, about 25 miles from the Indiana state line, is the small town of Newman, Illinois. You've probably never been there, but maybe you can picture whitewashed front porches, flagpoles, a water tower with the town name painted on it, and at least a few garages or pole barns with some kind of cool old car inside.
Mike Dillon grew up there and lives there today. When he was a kid, the cool old car at his house was a ragtop '47 Plymouth his dad was storing for Mike's uncle, who had hauled it from Florida in 1966. After several years, Mike's dad bought the car for himself with the intention of someday restoring it.
As a kid, Mike loved the Plymouth. "Growing up in the early 1960s, before video games and multi-channel television, I sometimes found myself playing in the car, pretending to be driving it to places only my imagination would take me-which was just as well, because there was so much dust on the windshield that I couldn't see through it."
To that kid behind the steering wheel, age 16 must have seemed an eternity away. By the time Mike got his driver's license, the Plymouth was still unrestored, but it had been repaired enough to take out on the weekends. There aren't many streets in his hometown, but Mike remembers having a ball driving up and down them-rides that required three people because once the engine got hot, six volts wasn't enough to get it started, but three guys pushing was.
Changing to a 12-volt system opened up the world to the Plymouth, which was now capable of making the 150-mile trip to Evansville, Indiana, for the Frog Follies car show. The Plymouth was still unrestored, and probably never came home with a trophy, but back in Newman, it must have seemed like a big frog in that small pond.
By the mid-1990s, Mike's dad realized he would never get around to restoring the car and passed it on to Mike. Mike and his brothers, Matt and Mark, decided they would build the family Plymouth into a hot rod instead of restoring it. Matt was already into rods, and contributed a lot of the ideas as to how the Plymouth ought to be built. It was decided it should be a resto rod, which meant keeping most of the stock body panels and stainless trim. It also meant countless trips to junkyards in search of parts and pieces to replace those that were too far gone. The original seats and a lot of the original chassis also survived. The original engine choice was a carbureted 350, which ended up in brother Mark's '36 Olds. The tuned port-injected 305 small-block that took its place is one of the few detours from the resto rod approach.
It wasn't a speedy build, and their dad and uncle unfortunately never got to ride in the finished car. The deep-green Plymouth was fresh when these photos were taken at the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville last summer. The odometer read 357. Today, the Plymouth looks better than it ever did. But, Michael told us, the best part of the project is that it was accomplished among brothers with a car that has been part of the Dillon family their whole lives. Although it still cruises the streets of Newman, it's now being seen in places even Michael's imagination couldn't take him as a kid staring through a dusty windshield.
Owner contact info: firstname.lastname@example.com Michael DillonNewman, Illinois1947 Plymouth Convertible
ChassisThe original frame and much of the existing suspension was kept in place; a pair of Fatman dropped spindles and gas shocks was added in the front, along with a GM center-pivot steering rack. Two-inch lowering blocks were added to the factory leaves in the rear, and Monroe air shocks were installed. Mike runs rear drum brakes and discs in front with Ford rotors and GM calipers.
DrivetrainMike built the injected Chevy 305, which features an air cleaner from Billet Specialties. The block-hugger headers keep it all compact and run the exhaust to a pair of Stainless Specialties mufflers. A '92 700-R4 automatic backs up the small-block and an '80 Camaro rearend with 3.08:1 gears with a Posi gets the rear wheels rolling.
With a variety of appropriate wheel-and-tire combinations from which to choose, Mike settled on American Racing 15-inch Torq-Thrusts with P205/70R15 Cooper blackwalls.
Smoothing the decklid, shaving the door handles, and replacing the whopping hood ornament with '49 Chevy front fender trim cleans up the aerodynamic lines of the body. Keeping the side and grille trim (including emblems) maintains the accents and character of the car. On a 1980s road trip, the Dillons rigged up a tarp to keep the rain out; now, a new cloth top stretches over the original bows. Although it sure looks black, sunlight shows the Plymouth's true color, PPG Emerald Green, sprayed by Matt Dillon, who also did the bodywork.
InteriorLike the rest of the Plymouth, the interior wasn't radically redone, just mildly updated. The dash retains the original trim, but the factory speedo and gauges were replaced with Dakota Digital instruments, and illuminated controls for the Vintage Air A/C were installed in a below-dash panel where vent knobs existed on the stock dash. A tilt steering column is topped with a Classic steering wheel from Billet Specialties. The original seats and re-sculpted door panels were covered in tan Ultraleather by Larry Sneed in Louisville, Kentucky. A Gennie shifter and Lokar pedals complete the picture; the Sony sound system is hidden out of sight.

|"Ain't nothing but a 'G' thang baby"
At the center of this awakening is the Nizza sub (or supra?) zone, which essentially is a more finely deliniated offshoot of the Barbera del Monferrato Superiore qualification. Geralyn and Jack Brostrom discuss "74" at their fab-site, Italian Wine Central.
This DOCG, approved June 27, 2008 and modified November 30, 2011, lays out the rules and regulations in a most Teutonic and orderly manner. Nizza is one of the many approved zones (sub and supra) of production for this wine. So, why would they push out from the sweet dream of EU harmony and awaken the sleeping giant?
Could it be there is a wish to open up the little Pandora's Box to peek inside and see what has been going on? Is there dissatisfaction with being in harmony with their EU partners? Does someone wish more particularity in order to call attention to their special conditions? Or is this simply a case of boredom with uniformity? A mischievous child looking for attention?
We should all know by now that there is no one simple answer when it comes to things Italian. And, by the way, the Italians are not alone in this kind of activity. The French, the Germans, the Californians, and others, all work to differentiate their attributes to a thirsty world. It's a liquid Tower of Babel, in that as we drill down to more finely focused descriptions of what one wine or another is, the end-user, be they in the United States, China, Sweden or anywhere else in the non-Italian speaking world, are challenged with these well-intentioned efforts by Italians to explain why it is they do what they do and what makes them so particularly wonderful. That's a cellular part of Italianismo. Changing the laws and making more wine appellations and qualifications is merely a vehicle of the process.
Is this a bad thing? In essence, not at all. For folks like me, it means dusting off the grey matter and paying closer attention. For the 98% of people who drink wine that this will never reach, it's not important to their end-satisfaction. So, why do it, one might ask?
In the case of the Nizza zone and those who produce that wine, I have to imagine that this is important to them. Just as Gran Selezione was for the Chianti Classico producers. It's about distinction, refinement, carving the stone down to the fine features. We saw it recently go the other direction in Barolo, where a famous vineyard area, Cannubi, was refined and redefined and then reverted. Some argue that has been a perversion of the Italian's love for particularity. Broader strokes, not necessarily finer ones.
In all of these cases the final verdict isn't made in Rome, or Asti, Alba or Florence. The judgment that really matters is the one made by the consumer. Will he or she choose Gran Selezione over Riserva (or Brunello)? Will Cannubi "Cannubi" ultimately be recognized as the one-and-only true Cannubi? Will Nizza vanquish Monferrato? Will they, huh, will they? Huh?
Personally, whether we arrive to "74" DOCG wines with the (currently) 332 DOC wines (this just in according to Italian Wine Central) for a "grande totale" of 406 isn't that big of a deal. Most likely if that does happen, then the flood gates will open and we might see a slew of additional higher qualified wines on the DOCG roster. The sommelier community will continue to track this and ask for clarification, so that they might study the right information and be able to more accurately understand and explain the rules to their proctors and their diners. No harm in that. It's like a giant puzzle, with more pieces added. I think we can all handle that.
Is there a downside? One that comes to mind is that with these more clearly defined regulations; the producer will see restrictions on their creativity in the winery and the vineyard. A recent conversation with a winemaker in the Langhe got my head spinning as they explained just how straight laced and regulated they are now, with the resulting fines for non-compliance. And here is where I see a problem. Where there are rules, there will always be someone who asks "why?" and proceeds to get around them. And there are the government apparatchiks, who toil to keep their position relevant and dominant, who will enforce the rules. Here is where things could get ugly and muddled. And the last thing anyone wants to see is a scandal.
There is a ban coming out against wearing synthetic lacy underwear in Russia. If it is ever enforced. If someone wears lacy under wear in Russia, no one will suffer from it (hopefully). If someone breaks a rule of wine making, someone could get hurt from cutting corners that they might not have had to. That is where I see the danger. That, and the threat to creativity in winemaking. But the Italians don't get their panties in a wad over things like rules. After all, isn't that how we got SuperTuscans?

An Okeechobee 18-year-old is accused of beating up a 16-year-old boy with autism, and the attack was recorded and posted online, according to an incident report from the Okeechobee City Police Department.
The 18-year-old and an adult have been arrested in connection with the case.
The victim told detectives he was invited to a party on SW 9th Street in Okeechobee last Friday where he drank alcohol and was then told to go outside and fight someone.
The teen said when he refused 18-year-old Andrew Wheeler was called.
After Wheeler arrived, the victim says Andrew began beating the teen. In the incident report he claims Wheeler followed him outside, choked him until he lost consciousness and struck him in the face.
A police officer later found the victim after midnight lying in the road on Southwest 6th Street. He was then transported to a hospital.
A doctor said the victim suffered a sprained neck, facial and scalp contusions and a concussion.
While at the hospital, the officer said he learned the video was posted to Facebook and that it was tagged to a Facebook profile with the name Andrew Wheeler.
Upon viewing the video, the officer noted that a detective recognized Wheeler in the video punching and kneeing the victim. Other people were standing around while the video was being recorded, according to the report.
Police located Wheeler on Sunday and placed him in custody.
Wheeler claims he received a call that there was "a drunk guy" at a party and he wouldn't leave. He says he drove to the residence and went inside to take that person home. After walking outside to answer his phone, Wheeler went back inside and said he was told that the teen was punching and pushing another person.
Wheeler claims when he attempted to take the teen outside he tried to strike Wheeler.
Wheeler was not hit and struck the teen with his fist, according to the report. Officers say Wheeler admitted that he lost control of his temper.
Police then took Wheeler to the Okeechobee County Jail and charged him with child abuse without great bodily harm.
Okeechobee City Police Chief Denny Davis says his department arrested the suspected attacker within twenty four hours of getting the video — and the department is upset that people think they are trying to cover something up.
"I think the video is disgusting. It is just as upsetting to myself and my officers as it is to anyone else that viewed it. Absolutely no way would we ever attempt to cover up anything like that. So it's very disturbing," the chief said.
Police have also arrested Evadean Dailey Lydecker. They charged her with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor. She lives at the home where the alleged attack happened.
The police chief says he is expecting protesters outside his department Friday afternoon because the beating video went viral and accusations of a cover-up. He says that is absolutely not true and he says he will come outside and tell the protesters that himself.
