MARTINEZ — Contra Costa's next election czar and clerk-recorder will either be former Assemblyman Joe Canciamilla or Pleasant Hill Councilman Jack Weir, county supervisors decided Tuesday.
The board, charged with filling the elected countywide position after Clerk-Recorder Steve Weir retires in March, quickly narrowed the field of 18 applicants to the final two. The other candidates lacked experience, failed to complete the application or lived outside the county and were ineligible.
Supervisors will interview the two men on Feb. 12 for the $150,000-a-year post responsible for managing the county's elections, legal documents such as property deeds, a $14 million annual budget and 86 employees. The supervisors' choice will have to run for election in 2014 in order to keep the nonpartisan job.
Canciamilla, a 57-year-old attorney and Pittsburg Funeral Chapel co-owner, has a long résumé of elected posts in Contra Costa County. He served on the Pittsburg school board and City Council before being elected to the Board of Supervisors in 1996. After one term as a supervisor, Canciamilla spent six years in the Assembly.
He has a bachelor's degree in management from Saint Mary's College and a law degree from John F. Kennedy University.
Weir, 73 and the incumbent's oldest brother, was elected for the first time to the Pleasant Hill City Council in 2010.
He runs a home-based consulting company, Change for the Better, which helps companies and nonprofit organizations manage organizational shifts. Before forming his own firm, he led technology departments for a Sacramento electrical company and Pacific Telesis Group.
Weir has a bachelor's degree in business from the University of San Francisco and a master's degree in organizational transformation from John F. Kennedy University.

On 12 Years a Slave
Press Play has now posted an essay I wrote about 12 Years a Slave. It begins:
12 Years a Slave has arrived in theatres already barnacled with expectations. In its festival appearances, it met with critical acclaim, and Oscar odds-makers had already slated it for various awards. Viewers buy their tickets, sit down in their seats, wait for the lights to dim, and expect great things. But viewers also have other, deeper expectations. The dominant cinematic story of slavery has been the story of white redemption and white heroism against an unfortunate institution perpetuated only by the most sadistic of bad white men. Even today, it is exceedingly rare to find a story about slavery that doesn't emphasize how good-hearted white people can be and how inherently just, good, and equal America is. In American movies, black suffering redeems white characters and affirms white nobility.The rest is available here.
12 Years a Slave tells a different story, but because the familiar narrative has conditioned us to view "slave movies" as a genre, we — especially white viewers — may find our expectations unsettled. This unsettling is one of the great virtues of the film.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two cases that will determine the fate of same-sex marriage in America. The court's decision won't come for months, but regardless of how the justices rule, David Von Drehle's new cover story chronicles how, thanks to a massive shift in public opinion, gay marriage went from inconceivable to inevitable in less than two decades. To illustrate Von Drehle's story, TIME invited same-sex couples in California and New York to share some intimate moments for photographer Peter Hapak. Two of these couples, Sarah Kate and Kristen Ellis-Henderson (married in 2011) and Russell Hart and Eric LaBonté (engaged since 2010), appear on our cover this week. (Newsstand editions will be divided between issues featuring the Ellis-Hendersons and those featuring Hart and LaBonté.)
Coming out to friends and family is one of the most important moments in a gay person's life. Coming out on the cover of a national magazine is something else entirely, once as unimaginable to our cover subjects as gay marriage itself. "As we were driving to the shoot, I thought, 'I'm doing this because I want my kids to live boldly and loudly and see what it means to stand up for something,'" says Sarah Kate Ellis-Henderson, who has a son and a daughter with her wife Kristen. For Hart, the decision to participate in a TIME cover shoot about gay marriage was a symbol of his decision to fully own his identity. After coming out to a supportive family, Hart stepped back into the closet while he was in his 20s, fearful he would lose a job if his co-workers knew he was gay. "That was far more destructive and traumatic than coming out," says Hart. "The experience let me know that whatever I do, my sexuality is a part of my identity and to deny it is to be doomed."
Some of the couples who participated in the TIME cover shoot are married and all are in long-term committed relationships. Jake Harrison, who was photographed with his partner Christopher Cunningham, is among those happily stunned at how quickly U.S. culture has shifted to embrace same-sex couples. "Growing up, there really weren't gay characters on TV," says Harrison. "To go from that to gay people on primetime television and out gay politicians is a huge evolution." LaBonté, who graduated from high school in 1989 and celebrated his 7-year anniversary with Hart the day they were photographed for TIME, says he was taunted as a teen for being different. "But my 20th high school reunion was a real trip. Those kids that made fun of me totally wanted to come up and talk to me and find out what I'm doing with my life," he says. "Now, I see high-school-aged boys walking around the mall or out in broad daylight holding hands. It's hard to describe how that makes me feel." Cunningham, who describes himself as "the modern, non-marriage type," says that the fact that gay marriage may soon be legal across the U.S. has made him reconsider. He says he is feeling something familiar to many long-term heterosexual couples — pressure from family to tie the knot.

There is no business model that would make sense for any Silicon Valley company to start building vehicles, no matter how innovative. The product cycle is too long, margins are too thin and labor costs are too high.
Some months ago, I proclaimed Google was beginning an epic war with traditional auto makers for the soul of the auto industry. Perhaps I engaged in a bit too much hyperbole.
As we move into the era of self-driving cars, I still believe Google will play a major role, but it's not going to get into the business of building cars.
Google, along with its West Coast cohort of other giant technology companies such as Intel, Cisco, Microsoft and others, are intent on using self-driving cars as their key to moving into the personal-transportation business. These companies view cars and trucks as complex mobile computers that require software, microprocessors, radar and other technologies they can provide.
"The people on the West Coast want to change the world, and their view is this is going to happen very quickly. If auto makers do not make it happen, then they will move in and make it happen," Gary Silberg, lead partner for the automotive industry at KPMG, said late last year.
Back then, I was worried Silberg was right and today's auto makers, hindered by slowing global sales and a diminishing interest in cars and driving in general, eventually would lose out in a new technology revolution.
But now I'm convinced Detroit, Stuttgart and Tokyo have little to fear from Googlemobiles taking over the world. The reason is simple: Non-automotive technology companies do not have the patience for the long lead times, huge investments, slow returns, slim margins and government oversight that are as much a part of the automotive business as tires and steering wheels.
My epiphany occurred recently at auto supplier Continental's test track near Hanover, Germany.
I was in the passenger seat of one of Continental's automated-driving demonstration vehicles when the pilot took his hands off the wheel and a dummy darted in front of us, hanging from a tow line. The car came to a screeching halt with time and space to spare. On our second run, the car casually swerved around the surrogate pedestrian while the driver kept his hands in his lap.
Continental's prototype also recognizes road signs and adjusts speed accordingly, navigates complex construction detours and automatically starts and stops in congested traffic. On the highway, it can handle basic driving tasks without assistance.
More than 1,300 specialists at Continental currently are working on practical automated driving technologies. Even so, the supplier says fully automated systems won't be available until 2025 and those will be limited to freeway driving.
Google is much more optimistic. It introduced a self-driving prototype in 2009 and already has logged 500,000 miles (805,000 km) of crash-free driving. Could it use its immense resources to faster develop affordable, self-driving cars? Perhaps, but the extravagant guidance systems Google is showing off cost an estimated $150,000, many, many times the price of Continental's simpler technologies.
More importantly, it is doubtful Google or any non-automotive tech company is interested enough in building cars to spend three to four years to develop a new vehicle and then spend millions marketing it to a skeptical public; especially for a typical automotive profit margin in the single digits.
Patience is not a virtue in Silicon Valley. In 2011, Hewlett-Packard introduced the TouchPad, a major new product designed to compete with the Apple iPad. When it didn't sell well immediately, HP killed the program after six weeks, cancelled hundreds of thousands of factory orders and took a $1 billion write off.
You can't walk away from mistakes like that in the automotive business. Today, nobody remembers the TouchPad, but Ford still gets punished for the Edsel, which ceased production in 1959.
There is no business model that would make sense for any Silicon Valley company to start building vehicles, no matter how innovative they hope they would be. The product cycle is too long, the margins are too thin and the labor costs are too high.
It's like the old parable of the ham-and-egg breakfast: The chicken is involved, but the pig is committed.
Unless you are truly committed to the auto business, being involved is the smarter route. Going forward, that is the path Google and others are sure to choose.

While we have never met, or talked, in person, we have chatted and e-mailed and become very good friends. She is such an inspiration and I know you will feel the same. You can join Caterina on facebook here. Losing weight and maintaining it wisely....is her passion. Caterina has her own business in weight loss and maintenance and is gracious enough to share some of her amazingly delicious, traditional Italian recipes. She also shares some health conscious recipes with us. All of which I am so happy to have on hand. ~smile~ (I'll share a recipe later today) Please say hello, Happy Birthday, and welcome her to Recipes For My Boys! Thank you once again, Caterina! <3 and hugs!
Written by Caterina:
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, on 7th May, 1956 to Italian immigrants Ines Coltri, who came from a wealthy family living in Verona, and my papa', Giulio Lorenzi whose family were stone masons. I have an older brother, Giovanni, who is four years older, and has been a giant pillar of support, in so many ways, to my parents as they grew old, to me and my family, and to the general Italian community in South Africa.
As a child I was always passionate about cooking and baking. When mama used to go for her nap on Saturday afternoons, I used to sneak into the kitchen and bake scones or biscuits. I would prepare a tea tray for her, take it to her room, and then rush back to the kitchen to clean up. Heaven forbid if she came there and anything was out of place.
Whenever mama used to make pasta, gnocchi, ravioli etc., all by hand, and I was always hanging onto her apron strings to see if I could learn anything. Sundays used to be papa's turn. His specialty "Brodo" or briefly... Chicken soup, roll-mops, and "Salsa Verde." He took such pride in the food preparation, (that is an Italian trait) and was also very conscious about cleaning up after himself.
I am married for 37 years to Santino, We have been together since 1969 and we have two beautiful daughters, Natasha who is 36 years old, and Martina who is 34 years old this year. Between them they have given us 5 grandchildren, who are the absolute light in our lives.
My passion for cooking and baking is still as strong as ever. I have been working in the weight management business for 24 years now, and for the last 10 years, I started my own little private business in the same field. What makes my business unique is the fact that I teach people how to prepare healthy meals as well as offering motivational support during their journey. That means I constantly need to come up with new recipes and ideas to make food interesting and appealing as well as healthy for the person who wants to seriously take care of themselves, whether is is weight loss or maintenance.
I want to thank you Debi for this wonderful privilege and opportunity you are giving me to tell my story and to share some of the knowledge that I have gathered over the last 24 years. I will be sharing some traditional Italian recipes as well as some of the more healthy recipes for the weight conscious person.
Eating healthily is very simple. It means that you eat food that is as natural and as fresh as you can possibly afford, without cooking it to death. If your great grandmother went into the supermarket today to do her shopping, I bet she would not be able to recognize three quarters of the food on the shelves. If you start off with fresh and natural ingredients, the end result can only be wonderful and healthy for you.
I also grow most of my own herbs, which add a special touch to the dishes that I prepare. Many people who try my recipes often say, "But mine wasn't as good as yours." Well the only explanation for that, is that I used fresh herbs, and add lots and lots of love. Anybody who has attended a demonstration, knows that I always say, "You need to make love to your food when you prepare it...then it will love you back."
Portion control plays a huge roll when it comes to weight loss or maintenance, and I recommend 5-8 portions of vegetables, 3 of which can be fruit. Taking note that variety and color is essential. Eating green, orange, yellow and red fruit and vegetables is the pathway to great health. Also including healthy fats like olive oil, a limited amount of protein and carbohydrates rounds of the eating plan very well. The mistake most people make is to go on a "diet", which implies that when you reach your target, you will go off it, and that is when the problem starts. You need to take a good and honest look at your lifestyle. A question you need to ask yourself is, "What habits got me to this weight, or unhealthy state, and what do I need to change?" If you go on a "diet", lost the weight and go back to your bad habits, you will surely gain the weight back again. Those bad habits need to be changed, and notice I said "changed", which means you replace the bad, unhealthy habit, with a good, healthy and wiser habit or food choice.
Eating variety is very important because it provides you with a variety of nutrients, and it keeps your menu interesting too. Another point I would like to emphasize, is that we must eat seasonally. The "rest" your body has from one season to the next is essential.
Food preparation is just as important. You cannot expect to fry everything and still be healthy. That has to change. Try grilling, baking or even barbeque. Keep it interesting...always.

Pelosi Statement Supporting the Non-Violent Protests by the Burmese People
Pelosi Statement Supporting the Non-Violent Protests by the Burmese People
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami, 202-226-7616
Washington, D.C. â€" Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today supporting the non-violent protests by the Burmese people and condemning reports of a brutal crackdown by the ruling military regime.
Earlier today, the House Foreign Affairs Committee approved legislation (H. Con. Res. 200) calling on the Burmese regime to restore democracy to Burma and immediately release Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners of conscience. In July, the Congress passed legislation (H.J. Res. 44) to renew import restrictions on Burma until progress is made to promote democracy and end human rights abuses.
"The courageous people of Burma are standing up to the ruling military regime that has oppressed the country for the last two decades. The ruthless crackdown is outrageous and the international community must not stand by while peaceful protestors are arrested, beaten and murdered.
"President Bush is to be commended for supporting tougher sanctions on Burma, though much more needs to be done in cooperation with the world community.
"We must continue to insist on a political negotiation with the pro-democracy activists including imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi as she continues to inspire the world in her fight for the freedom of her people. Let there be no doubt that we stand with the freedom-seeking people of Burma in their just cause.â€Â

Senators To NSA: Your 'Fact Sheet' Isn't Factual; Can You Tell Us The Truth For Once?
from the look-at-that deptWe recently wrote about the NSA's highly questionable "talking points" about the various NSA surveillance programs that have leaked. Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall -- who have long been leading the fight to get people to understand how the NSA was spying on Americans -- have now sent a letter to NSA boss Keith Alexander saying that the "facts" in the NSA's "fact sheets" do not, in fact, appear to be factual, and asking him to correct the errors.
We were disappointed to see that this fact sheet contains an inaccurate statement about how the section 702 authority has been interpreted by the US government. In our judgment this inaccuracy is significant, as it portrays protections for Americans' privacy as being significantly stronger than they actually are. We have identified this inaccurate statement in the classified attachment to this letter.Later in the letter, they also point to another "misleading" statement, amusingly using a letter that the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) sent to Wyden and Udall two years ago. This was back when they two were asking the DNI to at least reveal how many Americans had their info collected, and the DNI responded that "...it is not reasonably possible to identify the number of people located in the United States whose communications may have been reviewed...." Now Wyden and Udall are using that line to show that the latest "fact sheet" must be wrong:
We urge you to correct this statement as soon as possible. As you have seen, when the NSA makes inaccurate statements about government surveillance and fails to correct the public record, it can decrease public confidence in the NSA's openness and its commitment to protecting Americans' constitutional rights. Rebuilding this confidence will require a willingness to correct misstatements and a willingness to make reforms where appropriate.
Separately, we note that this same fact sheet states that under section 702, "Any inadvertently acquired communication of or concerning a US person must be promptly destroyed if it is neither relevant to the authorized purpose nor evidence of a crime." We believe that this statement is somewhat misleading, in that it implies that the NSA has the ability to determine how many American communications it has collected under section 702, or that the law does not allow the NSA to deliberately search for the records of particular Americans. In fact, the intelligence community has told us repeatedly that it is "not reasonably possible to identify the number of people located in the United States whose communications may have been reviewed under the authority" of the FISA Amendments Act.So, basically: were you lying to us then, or are you lying to us now?
We'll see what the NSA's response is, but I imagine it will likely involve more lying.

Five members of the Hope College faculty with service totaling 158 years are retiring at the end of the school year.
Retiring are: Dr. C. Baars Bultman, professor of education; Jon Huisken, who is dean for academic services and registrar and an adjunct associate professor of English; Barbara Mezeske, associate professor of English; Dr. Richard Mezeske, professor of education and chairperson of the department; and Dr. William Mungall, who is the Elmer E. Hartgerink Professor of Chemistry and health professions advisor.
° Dr. C. Baars Bultman, professor of education, taught his first course at Hope, a night class in social studies methods, in 1985, while also on the faculty at Fremont High School. He joined the Hope faculty in 1987 as one of three area teachers chosen to share their in-service expertise through the department of education's Half-Time Professor program, splitting his time between Fremont and Hope, and became a full-time member of the faculty in 2002.
In addition to his service to the college's department of education, he has also been teaching in the Senior Seminar program as well as courses in history and political science. His scholarship has included a variety of articles, reviews and poems, and a chapter in the departmental book "Finding Our Way: Reforming Teacher Education in the Liberal Arts Setting."
The graduating senior class selected him to deliver the Commencement address in 2000, and the students of the college's chapter of the Mortar Board honor society invited him to deliver the "Wearing of the Blue" address in 2006.
Bultman is a 1971 graduate of Hope, where he majored in political science and also played varsity basketball. He completed a master's degree, in United States history, at Western Michigan University, in 1976, and a doctorate, in English with a focus in American studies, at Michigan State University in 1995.
After graduating from Hope he taught at Newaygo High School for a year before moving to the Fremont school system, where he taught social studies and English at the junior high school, social studies at the high school and served as a guidance counselor. Among other honors during his tenure in secondary education, he was an 11-year recipient of Newaygo County's "Excellence in Education Award" and received the 1995 "Fremont School Board Achievement Award."
His wife, Margo, is a 1973 Hope graduate. They have two grown children: Marta, who graduated from Hope in 2002, as did her husband, Raj Malviya; and Peter, a 2006 Denison University graduate; and one granddaughter.
° When Jon Huisken, dean for academic services and registrar and adjunct associate professor of English, joined the Hope staff in 1969, the newly computerizing records office was managed by the director of the computer center.
Huisken, who had graduated from Calvin College in 1965, had been teaching middle school and junior high school, but was interested in working in higher education when the opportunity arose to come to Hope as assistant registrar. He became registrar a year later, and in 1989, to reflect the way that his responsibilities had grown, he was promoted to dean for academic services and registrar.
Among other duties, in addition to handling student records, his office runs course registration (now conducted online), coordinates academic advising, and oversees the Academic Support Center, FOCUS and SOAR programs, and Great Lakes Colleges Association Philadelphia Center, with Huisken additionally serving as the college's official contact with the Immigration Service. To stay in touch with what faculty experience, he's also been teaching the college's business writing course, and for several years had taught at Davenport College as well.
Hope students expressed their appreciation for him in 1987, when the graduating class presented him with a special award for service during that year's Commencement ceremony. In addition, he received the "Provost's Award for Service to the Academic Program" in 2004.
Huisken's work has had an effect on not only thousands of Hope alumni, but on his immediate family as well. Wife Joanne, who retired from a career in elementary education this past spring, completed an additional degree at Hope in 2004. All four of their daughters are also alumnae: Amy Praestgaard, Class of 1986; Shelley Spencer, Class of 1988; Jana Huisken, Class of 1994; and Jennifer LaPointe, Class of 1996. In retirement, he and Joanne plan to spend more time with their children and five grandchildren, as well as at the family cottage near Ludington and catching the Cubs during spring training.
° Barbara Mezeske, associate professor of English, joined the Hope faculty in 1978 as an instructor focused on freshman composition, a program she began coordinating in 1994. In addition to expository writing, her teaching interests include Western world literature, 20th-Century African literature, teaching pedagogy and information literacy. She has taught more than 3,500 students during her time at the college.
She has also played a leadership role in Hope's ongoing efforts to enhance instruction college-wide. She is director of the college's Faculty Mentoring Program and has been actively involved in the Teaching Enhancement Workshop for new faculty since 1996. She has also led a summer writing workshop for faculty engaged in scholarly projects.
The college presented her with the "Provost's Award for Excellence in Teaching," today called the "Janet L. Andersen Excellence in Teaching Award," in 1998.
Mezeske is the author of numerous articles published in scholarly journals, including a two-part essay in "The Teaching Professor" exploring how faculty in midcareer and approaching retirement can stay fresh in their approach to teaching. In her own final year at Hope, she both developed a course focused on writing about science and initiated a project through which her expository-writing students interviewed the young students in the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program and wrote biographical sketches about them. Her publications also include two books co-edited with her husband, Dr. Richard Mezeske of the education faculty: "Finding Our Way: Reforming Teacher Education in the Liberal Arts Setting" (2004) and "Beyond Tests and Quizzes: Creative Assessments in the College Classroom" (2007). In 2002, she and Kelly Jacobsma of the Hope library faculty were the primary authors of a successful proposal for one of only five $10,000 awards to Michigan colleges or universities from the SBC Ameritech Partnership Awards for Independent Colleges program in support of the use of information technology.
She graduated from Hope in 1970 with an English major, and completed a master's degree in English at Michigan State University in 1978. Prior to joining the Hope faculty, she taught at Jenison Public High School for seven years.
She and Richard have two grown children: Emily, who graduated from the college in 1999; and Andrew, who graduated from Hope in 2002 and whose wife Lindsay is a 2004 graduate; and one grandson.
° Dr. Richard Mezeske, professor of education and chairperson of the department, has been a member of the full-time faculty since 1992, and had taught part-time at Hope beginning in 1986. He is a specialist in literacy education and literature for children and adolescents.
He developed the college's initial May Term program with Liverpool Hope University in education, beginning an international institutional relationship that now includes full-semester student-teaching experiences in Liverpool for Hope students and has also grown to involve multiple departments at the college. He has also developed and team-teaches, with Dr. Jesse Montaño of the English faculty, Hope's course on ethnic American literature for children and young adults. For several years, he also directed the college's Young Authors' Conference for area children.

LOS ANGELES — Sen. Ted Lieu announced his candidacy for the 33rd Congressional District seat today, one day after former city Controller Wendy Greuel said she would seek to succeed retiring Rep. Henry Waxman.
"I am running because I love America," said Lieu, D-Torrance. "But our nation can do better. I have made the hard choices that helped turn California's budget deficit into a budget surplus, fought to protect our environment, co-authored legislation to divest California's pension funds from Iran's energy and nuclear industries and authored landmark civil rights legislation."
Lieu's 28th Senate District includes more than 80 percent of the 33rd Congressional District, which covers Palos Verdes, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Malibu.
Lieu was elected in a 2011 special election, succeeding the late Jenny Oropeza. He served in the Assembly from 2005-2010.
Greuel, who lost to fellow Democrat Eric Garcetti in last year's mayor's race, told ABC7 she was excited and passionate about running, saying she would "fight for the communities, fight for those dollars that are critically important."
"I'm ready to be that champion," Greuel said.
Self-help author Marianne Williamson announced she would run as an independent against Waxman earlier.
Waxman, D-Beverly Hills, was elected to the first of his 20 consecutive terms in 1974.

Khaosan Road or Khao San Road (Thai: ถนนข้าวสาร) is a short (410 meter long) street in central Bangkok, Thailand constructed in 1892 during the reign of Game Fight A News Creates Affinity To – Fake New Cambridge Online ncqIUY55.[1] It is in the Bang Lamphu area of Phra Nakhon District about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew.
"Khaosan" translates as "milled rice", a hint that in former times the street was a major Bangkok rice market.[1] In the last 20 years, however, Khaosan Road has developed into a world-famous "backpacker ghetto".[2][3] It offers cheap accommodation, ranging from "mattress in a box"-style hotels to reasonably priced three-star hotels. In an essay on the backpacker culture of Khaosan Road, Susan Orlean called it "the place to disappear."[4]
Despite its reputation a diverse group of travellers can be found on Khao San Road.[3]
In this small area one can observe the interactions and groupings of disparate characters such as well-educated young Westerners on extended leave from affluent society, high school graduates on gap year travels, Israelis fresh out of military service, university students on holiday or sabbatical leave, young Japanese in rite-of-passage attire, ordinary holidaymakers, (ex-) volunteers from various organizations, and the like.— Anders Sørensen, Annals of Tourism Research

Khaosan shops sell handicrafts, paintings, clothes, local fruits, unlicensed CDs, DVDs, a wide range of fake IDs, used books, and other useful backpacker items.[5]
During late evening, the streets turn into bars and music is played, food hawkers sell barbecued insects, exotic snacks for tourists,[6] and there are also local people selling ping pong shows.[Gocard Card University First Georgetown One citation needed]
There are several cafes, pubs and bars where backpackers meet to discuss their travels.[7] The area is internationally known as a center of dancing, partying, and just prior to the traditional Thai New Year (Songkran festival) of 13–15 April, water splashing that usually turns into a huge water fight.Current And The Help Phone My Android On Spoofing Os Is This aATSXx One Thai writer has described Khaosan as "...a short road that has the longest dream in the world".[9]
A Buddhist temple under royal patronage, the centuries-old Wat Chana Songkram, is directly opposite Khaosan Road to the west, while the area to the northwest contains an Islamic community and several small mosques.[10]
In July 2018, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), in an attempt to clean up the area, announced that Khaosan street vendors would be removed from the thoroughfare from 1 August 2018. The BMA intends to move them to a nearby area and restrict their trading hours to 18:00 to midnight.[11] The Khaosan Street Vendors Association, representing some 300 vendors, rejected the move, citing financial ruin for vendors.[12] Last-minute negotiations between the BMA and vendors proved fruitless as neither side has been willing to compromise.[13] Khaosan vendors announced that, in defiance of BMA order, they will open as usual on 1 August.On Information And David Target Database Vehicle Driver qtCqFw5X On the first day of the ban on stalls, roughly 70 percent of the vendors opened as usual in defiance of the police.[15][16]

Heliotopos necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 28 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
Heliotopos Hotel
Heliotopos Hotel is a first class, family-owned, boutique hotel in Santorini, on the rim of the Caldera. Santorini is a very famous island in Greece, known for its wild beauty and breathtaking view. Running since 1990, it is very cozy and romantic and what differentiates it from the others is the excellent service, the homemade breakfast and the hospitality of the staff and the owner. The 10 rooms/houses are one or two-storey, with their own kitchen, bathroom/wc, livingroom and balcony with caldera view. Several corners of the hotel are caves, the biggest, is where breakfast is served in the morning, and becomes a bar or a place to have dinner at night.
Our problem so far, is that noone managed to get the feeling of the hotel in a drawing, or a picture (from the website to the brochures, nothing has been representative enough). Every single customer has said that it is much better than they have imagined, in terms of hospitality and style.
Current website: http://hotel.heliotopos.net
The hotel has won several awards (find them on the website). "most romantic hotel in Greece", the "best breakfast in Greece", the "best place to get married in the world" (by travel channel), and several more.
Being on a tight budget we offer to the winner 3 nights for two persons at the hotel (breakfast included) for free (bookings for 2010 or 2011)
Our target audience is people who can afford the price of a first class hotel but are not looking for luxury (we do not have golden spoons and shinning seelings). We are a beautiful cozy hotel, where the customer will feel they have visited a rich, but down to earth friend.
Most customers talk about how relaxed and like-home they felt with us. We also have many returning customers.
We stick with our current logo, it has been the same since 1990 and we are recognised by it.
Width: design for 1024*768, so about 980px would be great.
code: will be developed in Typo3, a CMS similar to Joomla. So no flash (except from any image transitions or something stylish in the header
You can find photos on the website, if you need more of something (ie the pool) ask for it, we have tons of images.
please create a homepage and a testimonials page (the testimonials page is secondary and optional, we just want to be sure we get the feeling you want to convey)
you may change the layout of the pages (what has been included and what not), as long as you justify why for example you left out or added something new.
We imagine something simple, conveying a message, we want to resist adding too much information in the home page and confusing the visitor
If you need any kind of files let us know and we will upload them

A combo box is a combination of a drop-down list and an edit control, thus allowing users to enter a value that isn't in the list. It behaves like a drop-down list and allows the user to choose from a list of existing items but adds the option to type a value directly into the control. Newly typed items are usually added to the list and can be selected next time. Combo boxes are typically applied to provide auto-complete or auto-type functionality in a convenient way to the user.
The list provides auto-complete feature for the whole string, independently of the "editable" property. Given the items of "bike", "boat", and "car":
The input field of the combo box ("editable" is true) marks the completed part of the item as selected, making it easy to change the completion.

Sign up for Boomfrog's World Famous Underworld game in the sign-up thread - when you die here, you'll be sent to the Underworld for another round of mafia madness!
How to play mafia (taken from this thread):
The townies have no power besides the power of deduction. The Townie wants to rid the town of the mafia scum. Every day the townie can vote for one person by posting Vote:Person x (note that this must be bolded) if you later decide to switch your vote, you do so by typing UNVOTE vote:person y (note again that this must be bolded). Townies do not know who anyone else are.
The mafia's team usually is about one third the size of the townies. The mafia know who each other are, and try to blend in with the townies. Their goal is to rid the town of all the townies. They can vote and unvote just like normal townies. The only difference is that at night time the mafia can communicate (via pm's to eachother) and between all of the mafia, they can decide to kill someone at night.
Now you may be wondering what this voting does. When a player has MORE than half the votes, they are lynched. Right after the lynching happens, it becomes night time.
The town wins when the last mafia member is wiped out. The mafia win when they control HALF of the votes.
Standard xkcd forum rules:
2. Votes and questions must be posted in bold and on a new line, like so:
Vote: Adam H
You can also ask me questions in PM.
3. You're dead when I say you're dead. Don't say anything in this thread for the rest of the game, and feel free to read all the spoilers in the discussion thread – you ain't coming back.
4. No editing your posts. Never! No matter what!
5. No playing to lose. This won't be tolerated.
6. All PMs must be CC'd to me.
8. It is nighttime when I say it's nighttime, and it's daytime when I say it's daytime. I will let you know well beforehand when the deadlines are. When the deadline passes, the day is over and there will be NO talking. I will be along with the day-ending post soon after the deadline has been reached.
9. If someone hammers (places a vote which gives the player a majority of votes), daytime is immediately over. NO more talking, even if the hammer-vote was accidental.
10. If deadline is reached without a majority decision, then the person with the most votes is lynched. If the votals are tied, then I will randomly select one of the tied players to be lynched. If exactly half of the players vote for one player and the other half vote for another player, there will be no lynch.
11. You can vote to "NL" (no lynch). If "NL" gets the majority of the votes, no one will be lynched.
12. Don't post any content in this thread at night.
13. Members of the mafia can PM each other only at night - never during the day. Townies can NEVER PM ANYONE.

Could Eastwood's empty chair have done better?
Exclusive: Kathy Shaidle recaps top hosts discussing Obama's disastrous debate
Rush Limbaugh
The day after the televised presidential debate, Rush was unequivocal: "You know, ladies and gentlemen, Obama came off even worse in his debate with Romney last night than he did in his debate with Clint Eastwood. And that's saying something. What did we learn last night? I mean, we really learned a lot. This was one of the best debate performances in my life" (FREE audio).
Is it safe for El Rushbo to stroll the streets of San Francisco once more?
Rush was led to wonder whether or not he should reconsider his long term avoidance of the Bay Area after reading an article by a longtime liberal resident, bemoaning the decline in the city's famous "colorful" "diversity."
"If Dykes on Bikes have left San Francisco," Limbaugh mused, "It may be safe for me to go back" (FREE audio).
Michael Savage
Savage made broadcasting history after winning a lengthy battle against his talk radio syndication company. Now a free agent, Savage addressed his fans with the first of his new Internet podcasts.
"Now I'm on the Internet, and the FCC can't control me," Savage assured listeners. "And since the new ratings show me beating Rush when it comes to listeners on the Internet, you can see the writing on the wall."
He also invited fans to pre-order his new collection of personal stories, "Train Tracks," which chronicles his rise from poor immigrant's son to media star.
Savage's inaugural Internet program is now available from his audio archives.
Sean Hannity
Former Vice President Dick Cheney joined Hannity to talk about what it's like to prepare for a nationally televised debate (FREE audio).
"They'll have a huge briefing book, and they'll rehearse," Cheney explained. "You're psyched for this, but the important thing to do is relax so you can take advantage of the other guy's mistakes. You want to memorize good lines, but you want to ad-lib as well."
After the Romney/Obama debate, Hannity noted, "Mitt Romney, trailing in the polls, needed to prove tonight that he could stand on stage with President Barack Obama as an equal and a plausible president of the United States.
"He did that in the crucial first 40 minutes of Wednesday night's debate," Hannity concluded, "addressing Obama respectfully, even warmly – but then tangling with a sometimes hazy and professorial Obama on taxes and deficits."
Aaron Klein
WND's own Aaron Klein tangled with legal superstar Alan Dershowitz about his plans to "jump start" peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Also joining Klein to talk foreign policy was former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, who had a lot to say about the situation in Libya. Plus: Who really made that infamous anti-Islamic movie? Klein's findings may surprise you.
On the domestic front, Klein revealed the suspicious origin of Obama's new favorite expression: "new economic patriotism," and unveiled more dirt about the "Fast and Furious" scandal, which now has an ever-growing body count (FREE audio).
Mark Levin
"Are the national media in this country racist?"
Levin was furious over the media's refusal to report the horrible truth about the "Fast and Furious" scandal, even after "dozens of people have been murdered" as a direct result of Obama's bizarre strategy to fight the war on drugs (FREE audio).
A nurse called in to Levin's show to declare that Sarah Palin had been right all along about Obamacare's "death panels." Levin joked that his "End of Life Counseling" would involve voting against Obama even if he was on his deathbed (FREE audio).
Laura Ingraham
At the top of the week, Ingraham welcomed vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to share details about his and Romney's plan to get America back on track when they take the White House.
Former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain blasted Obama's foreign policy, calling him "a president who does not want to lead" and who "does not believe in American exceptionalism."
Haley Barbour, the one-time governor of Mississippi, offered some advice to Mitt Romney, suggesting the Republican keep his message to voters simple and focus on the economy.
Glenn Beck
Beck says he won't stop using music by the band Muse during his public appearances, even though the group has asked him to stop.
The band has complained that Glenn Beck has hijacked their songs to "take down people like Obama and put forward right-wing libertarianism."
However, Beck responded in part: "As uncomfortable as it might be for you, I will still play your songs loudly. … In the Venn Diagram of American politics, where the circles of crimson and blue overlap, there's a place where you and I meet. It's a place where guys who cling to their religion, rights and guns, connect with godless, clinched-fist-tattoo guys."

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Women Fired for Objecting to Misconduct by Manager, Federal Agency Charged
CHARLOTTE , N.C. – A Hillsborough, N.C., restaurant violated federal law by subjecting a class of female employees to a sexually hostile work environment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today. The EEOC's lawsuit further charged that at least one female employee quit her job because of the sexual harassment and that the company, which operates "Vinny's Italian Grill," fired two other female employees in retaliation for complaining about the sexual harassment.
According to the EEOC's suit, Hillsborough Pizzeria, Inc., doing business as Vinny's Italian Grill, created and maintained a hostile working environment for Jacqueline Sorrell and a class of similarly situated female employees based on their sex, female. According to the complaint, from at least April 2008 until at least May 2009, a male manager for Vinny's Italian Grill subjected Sorrell and other female employees to unwelcome sexual verbal misconduct. The conduct included telling Sorrell that he wanted to "French kiss" her and repeatedly asking her about her sexual relationship with her husband. The manager would also make comments about his own sexual preferences, and frequently told explicit stories about his sexual encounters with other women.
According to the complaint, when Sorrell sought the help of her employer to stop the harassment, the managing co-owner of the company told her, "It's no big deal." After an additional complaint to an acting manager, Sorrell was discharged. At the same time Sorrell was discharged, the company discharged another female employee who had also complained about the sexual harassment. In addition, the complaint alleges that at least one other female employee was forced to quit her employment because of the harassment.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Hillsborough Pizzeria, Inc. d/b/a Vinny's Italian Grill, Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-00627) in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages for Sorrell and a class of similarly situated female employees, as well as an injunction enjoining Vinny's Italian Grill from engaging in similar discrimination again and requiring it to take other measures to ensure a workplace free of discrimination for future employees.
"Employers must maintain a workplace free from harassment," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "A policy forbidding such harassment and a means by which employees can report harassment is vital to an employer's ability to prevent and stop unlawful discrimination. An employer who ignores sexual harassment in the workplace and does not take active measures to prevent it risks legal liability."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

As operations at Los Angeles International Airport returned to normal Sunday, a Calabasas High School teacher wounded in a shooting rampage at the airport last week remained in fair condition.
Brian Ludmer, 29, sustained a bullet wound and will need surgery for a fractured leg as well as extensive physical therapy, officials at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said in a statement Sunday.
The suspected shooter, identified by police as Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, remained in critical condition. He was wounded by LAX police as he shot his way through Terminal 3 shortly after 9 a.m. Friday, authorities said. Ciancia was shot in the head and a leg.
Transportation Security Administration agent Gerardo Hernandez, 39, was killed and at least two other agency employees and a civilian were wounded. A TSA official Sunday night identified the wounded officers as James Speer, 54, and Tony Grigsby, 36. Both officers were at home recovering from their wounds, the official said.
Authorities have filed a murder charge against Ciancia and suggested that he specifically targeted TSA agents. Ciancia was carrying a handwritten note in his duffel bag that said he wanted to "instill fear into their traitorous minds," according to one federal official.
"His intent was very clear in his note," the official said.
If convicted, Ciancia faces life in prison without parole, or possibly the death penalty.
The rampage temporarily halted traffic at the nation's third-busiest airport, stranding thousands of passengers and causing dozens of flights to be diverted to other airports. The shooting caused chaos at LAX and affected more than 1,500 flights and 167,000 passengers.
On Sunday, flights at the airport were back on schedule and regular operations had resumed, officials said.
"There were no delays this morning, and everything's back to normal," said LAX spokesman Marshall Lowe.
Besides the gunman, Ludmer is the only shooting victim who remains hospitalized, officials said.
Ludmer was on his way to celebrate a friend's wedding over the weekend when he heard gunshots inside Terminal 3 and "people were running everywhere," Las Virgenes schools Supt. Dan Stepenosky said in an interview.
As the gunman took aim, Ludmer turned to run and dived away, but he was struck at least once in the leg, Stepenosky said. He dragged himself into a closet, closed the door and hunkered down, fearing the worst.
"He really assumed he was not going to make it," Stepenosky said.
The performing arts teacher managed to create a makeshift tourniquet to slow the bleeding, using "his old Boy Scouts training," Stepenosky told KNBC-TV Channel 4.
Ludmer waited until he heard what he believed was a police officer outside the closet. He cracked open the door, peeked out and was rushed by the officer to an ambulance.
Word of Ludmer's wounds somehow reached his parents in Chicago. They in turn called Calabasas High, alerting two of Ludmer's colleagues in the performing arts department.
"They said he was involved in a shooting," Stepenosky said. "So the teachers and the principal went to the hospital right away."
Calabasas Principal C.J. Foss and two teachers held vigil at the hospital while Ludmer's mother made her way to Los Angeles to be at her son's side, Stepenosky said.
Times staff writer Kate Linthicum contributed to this story.

Finally there is a book that presents real applications of graph theory in a unified format. This book is the only source for an extended, concentrated focus on the theory and techniques common to various types of intersection graphs. It is a concise treatment of the aspects of intersection graphs that interconnect many standard concepts and form the foundation of a surprising array of applications to biology, computing, psychology, matrices, and statistics.
The authors emphasize the underlying tools and techniques and demonstrate how this approach constitutes a definite theory within graph theory. Some of the applications are not widely known or available in the graph theoretic literature and are presented here for the first time. The book also includes a detailed literature guide for many specialized and related areas, a current bibliography, and more than 100 exercises.
This book is written for students who have completed a basic graph theory course and for mathematicians seeking a guide for graph theory and graph modeling. Anyone working in applications of intersection graphs stands to gain a better understanding of the larger context of the field by reading this book.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, "How can you expect a man who's warm to understand one who's cold?" We don't have that problem in Vermont. There is not one of us who doesn't understand the cold and the wonderful feeling of entering a warm space after being chilled. What if that space is your home and that space is continually cold and about to get colder? Then add to that scenario that you are elderly, disabled or a single mom with children.

Tombstone Tuesday: 'Saved by the bell': Gresham Family Vault
The now broken pedestal which sits atop the Gresham Family Vault once supported a bell with a chain running from the bell into the vault. The Gresham lady for whom the tomb was erected had a morbid fear of being buried alive, and so to accommodate her wishes the bell pedestal was erected with the purpose of allowing her to ring the bell and be rescued should she awaken from the sleep of death. It is further alleged that she was buried in a casket with an easy to open spring lock, and that the tomb was built in this design so that it would be tall enough for her to stand upright while awaiting her rescuers.

950k reads per second on 1 datanode
and got new numbers...
the config is the same as earlier post, with the exception that
flexAsynch -ndbrecord -temp -con 4 -t 16 -p 312 -a 2 -l 3 -r 2

also tried using SCI instead of gigabit ethernet
flexAsynch -ndbrecord -temp -con 4 -t 16 -p 256 -a 2 -l 3 -r 2
insert average: 568012/s min: 550389/s max: 578367/s stddev: 2%

read average: 1012472/s min: 1003429/s max: 1024000/s stddev: 0%
i.e with SCI the 1M reads/sec limit is reached! (on 1 datanode)
i think this should also be achievable on ethernet by adding some
more optimizations (let api-application start transactions directly
on correct TC-thread)
1) the new "feature" is multi threading the transaction coordinator
aka MT-TC
2) this part will likely not make the mysql cluster 6.4.0-release
3) our multi-threading architecture seems promising,
in less than a month i managed to double the throughput
(in a admittedly unrealistic benchmark, but still)
4) the 25% missing from the current patch is node-failure handling
and a "rcu-like" lock which will be used for reading/updating distribution
(it's read for each operation, and updated during node-failure,node-recovery and
online table repartitioning)

Jonas does ndbmtd show a negative performance impact when you set MaxNoOfExecutionThreads to greater than 8 ?
- November 25, 2008 at 6:18 PM
- Jonas Oreland said...
8 is greatest accepted value.
it refuses to start is set higher.
so yes, definitely lower performance

How good is it compared to single threaded ndbd? I guess the result of prior benchmark(500k reads/s) is even better than ndbd. I wonder how good the latest ndbmtd is compared to ndbd.

Really good news. Is there any dead line for the 6.4 release ?
Great work Jonas

i think (current) plan is to make a beta-release early next year
- November 27, 2008 at 2:18 PM
- Cyril Scetbon said...
Great news ! Did you make the same test with 6.3.x version ? Do we get the same performance with a 6.3.x and a 6.4.x if multithreading is disabled ?
Happy New Year and we hope that we'll see a lot of interesting new posts this year !

Is it possible to get the code to the flexAsync benchmark client. I'm trying to get a cluster up and running, and I need very high write rates. It sounds like seeing the flexAsync code may help with building my own NDB API client.

Snow Hill artist donates painting to Greene County library
SNOW HILL � The Greene County Public Library has received the donation of a painting by a renowned local artist. Dinah Sharpe Sylivant has given one of her oil paintings, �Along Contentnea Creek,� to the library to be displayed in its newly renovated facility.
Sylivant is a native of Snow Hill and is an established artist in the traditional sense. She has studied art at the Savannah College of Art and Design, ECU, Barton College and Nantucket School of Art and Design.
She is a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists, the Greene County Museum, the Kinston Community Council for the Arts, the Lenoir County Artist League, Brushstrokes, and the Carteret Community Council of the Arts.
Sylivant has been an artist-in-residence and teacher at Arendell Parrott Academy and president of the Lenoir County Artist League. She is currently painting the Mother Earth Brewery labels.
In 2002, Sylivant�s work was chosen for the North Carolina Seafood Festival poster. She was also chosen as the 2002 Core Sound poster artist, the 2009 North Carolina Sweet Potato Festival poster artist, and the 2011 North Carolina Sweet Potato festival artist. She was recently chosen to show a self portrait in a juried show at the North Carolina Museum of Art during the months of October through January, in conjunction with theRembrandtexhibit.
�Art should invite the viewer to enter into the piece of work and feel the presence of the subject,� said Sylivant.
�We are ecstatic to have this opportunity to enhance the interior of our newly renovated library with this beautiful painting,� said Mrs. Agnes W. Ho, director of libraries.
�Mrs. Sylivant is one of our most celebrated local artists, and we are deeply honored by her gift. The hundreds of patrons who visit the Greene County Public Library each day will now have the opportunity to marvel at the beauty of this stately painting,� Ho said.
