I was astounded.
Cars were parked by the side of the road, and my glimpse as I passed by showed the most amazing Memorial Day tribute. Apparently, the man collects WWII memorabilia and even has a fighter plane on his estate.
I was in tears on the drive all the way home (my coffee was free, by the way, because I was a veteran, but that's not why I had tears streaming down my cheeks). I decided to come back with my camera and my eight-year old son and teach him what Memorial Day is all about.
On the drive there, I explained in age-appropriate terms how war wasn't what anyone ever wanted, but it was a part of life, part of what freed people from tyranny. He already knew from school lessons a bit about the Revolutionary and Civil wars, the Underground Railroad and such, but I also explained that even now, wars were going on across the world, and they were complicated. His father and I both were in the military, but his daddy really was put in harm's way many times -- Bosnia, Iraq, and places unknown to me, flying in airplanes as a linguist for most of it.
We talked about respect for those who lost loved ones, regardless of our feelings about war in general, and walked up on the tableau.
This man had put a LOT of work into this.
He had put up so many white crosses, and then mannequins in the uniforms from Revolutionary, Civil War, World War I, World War II, and current day. The empty spot, I'm imagining, is from the Korean War, or the Forgotten War. Rick's father fought in that war, and absolutely refuses to speak of it. (Click for a larger photo).
There were the wife and child with flowers for the grave of a fallen husband and father.
More soldiers to the side, from World War II, I'm imagining from the uniforms.
Uniforms my husband has worn. When I think of the dangers he put himself through in his twenty-six years.... and then when I realize I lived in South Korea, next to a land where the ruler was a complete crackpot, all the chemical warfare drills we all went through start to mean something more than an annoyance.
More of the broad view, showing the scope of work this man did for Memorial Day.
And, along with the flag, a symbol of freedom.
Flags festooned the long lengths of white fence. Zack took in all of this with a quiet, contemplative look on his face. Not a look of fear, but a look of , dare I hope, appreciation. Appreciation for what this man had done, appreciation for the dozens of cars that stopped to take pictures, appreciation for what I was quietly telling him. Appreciation for his parents, who did their part, and understanding, in his eight-year old capacity, that things don't always make sense in the world, but people believe in things, and we should respect them.
Respect is something I've been trying to teach Zack daily. Respect for others, for things, for quiet time, for waiting turns. Sometimes object lessons come in unusual ways -- such as driving down the road to get a coffee on Memorial Day.

Phase out CCACs to get improved access and system integration: ECCO report
Ontarians will have access to primary care co-ordination and - for those persons who need it - more than four million additional hours of home health care and support services if the Ministry of Health eliminates the costly duplication that currently exists within the province's 14 Community Care Access Centres (CCACs).
That's one of the key findings of a report titled, Enhancing Community Care for Ontarians (ECCO) released today by the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO). The report examines high performing systems and concludes that Ontario has structural duplication that leaves taxpayers with less care and hampers the province's capacity to achieve system integration. The result, RNAO concludes, is fragmented and delayed care for patients and an inefficient system overall.
The report recommends using Community Health Centres, Nurse Practitioner-led clinics, Family Health Teams, Aboriginal Health Access Centres, and other interprofessional and group practices by expanding their reach and roles to provide comprehensive care co-ordination and system navigation to all Ontarians - especially persons with complex health-care needs.
"We see care co-ordination and system navigation anchored best within primary care, as this is the health sector that knows their patients most intimately," says RNAO's President, Rhonda Seidman-Carlson, adding that "this means primary care providers would be the ones ordering home care and support services, linking and following-up with specialists, and facilitating people's transitions from their homes to nursing homes."
A key element of the ECCO plan is to redeploy the 3,500 CCAC case managers and care co-ordinators – 3,000 RNs and 500 non-RN health-care professionals – to primary care, where their expertise would be better used providing the care co-ordination, system navigation and same day access that Ontarians desperately need.
Seidman-Carlson says the creation of a Primary Care Transitional Secretariat placed within each LHIN on a temporary basis would help primary care providers assume the new functions until the model is fully up and running.
"Currently CCACs are the ones doing some of these functions, but they only come into the picture at times of crisis, with a set of rules that often don't match the patient's life context and needs," says RNAO Chief Executive Officer Doris Grinspun, adding that "with the creation of LHINs and a more robust primary care system, CCACs are becoming redundant."
"We recommend that a better use of taxpayer dollars is to move all planning, service agreements, funding, monitoring and accountability functions to LHINs to secure comprehensive and integrated local planning for all health-care sectors," says Grinspun, adding that "this would free up the expensive operating costs of CCACs and add over four million hours of home care and support services."
"As it stands right now with CCAC rules, many people aren't eligible to receive the number of hours of nursing or support care they need while recovering from illness at home, dealing with a chronic condition, or receiving palliative care. In some instances, people don't even qualify because they 'don't meet the rules.' We think this is wrong because we know it costs far less to provide care for people at home where they want to be," says Grinspun.
Collectively, CCACs consume nearly $2 billion of the overall health-care budget. According to the Auditor General of Ontario, in 2008/09, $163 million (9.3 per cent) was spent on administrative and operational costs alone. RNAO's report points out administrative expenditures at the LHINs totaled less than one per cent.
"Nurses recognize that there is only so much money in the health-care pot and that we need to spend existing dollars wisely. That's why we urge the McGuinty government to remove the duplication and streamline the health system so it is more integrated, delivers co-ordinated and timely access, and supports people to remain in their homes as vibrant members of our communities. If the government adopts our report, what you will see is a system that is more responsive to the needs of people who rely on our help," emphasizes Grinspun.
The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) is the professional association representing registered nurses in Ontario. Since 1925, RNAO has advocated for healthy public policy, promoted excellence in nursing practice, increased nurses' contribution to shaping the health-care system, and influenced decisions that affect nurses and the public they serve.

Most Americans remember to brush their teeth regularly. Their pets' pearly whites, however, don't always get the same kind of attention. It is back to school again – so why not schedule a check up for both of you?
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, by the age of two, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some form of periodontal disease, gum disease that can be quite serious if left untreated. Periodontal disease is the most commonly diagnosed problem in dogs and cats, often leading to painful infections of the mouth that can spread and become severe conditions. Untreated, periodontal disease leads to destruction of the bone surrounding the teeth, and ultimately, tooth loss. Kidney, heart, and liver disease and other life threatening disorders have also been linked to periodontal infections.
Regular dental care is as important for dogs and cats as it is for humans, if not more so. A majority of dogs and cats do not get the daily oral care, like brushing and flossing, that humans do, making the risk for dental disease higher. The best way to prevent periodontal disease is by regularly brushing your pet's teeth and by visiting with your veterinarian about other precautions an owner can take to protect their pet's teeth.
If your pet shows signs of dental disease (bad breath, drooling, difficulty chewing, red or swollen gums) a visit to your veterinarian is overdue. Early intervention through regular dental check-ups is better than salvage procedures for advanced periodontal disease. If signs of gingivitis or tartar accumulation are present during the dental exam, your veterinarian will probably recommend a professional cleaning in order to stop the progress of periodontal disease. One of the procedures commonly performed is dental scaling and polishing. This involves the careful cleaning of all surfaces of the tooth including the area below the gum line to remove the accumulation of tartar and reverse the early disease changes before they progress to periodontal disease.
Your pet needs and deserves good dental care. Regular, professional care from your veterinarian, as well as care at home from you, is imperative to your pet's dental health. Many pet health insurance wellness plans provide a benefit for dental scaling and polishing, just another excellent way to keep your pet healthy and help you provide them with a lifetime of care.

It seems Christmas was leaner at the White House this year. The White House did pare things down a bit like many Americans due to the economic crisis. Overall, there [appeared] to be fewer trees and decorations this time than in some over-the-top years past, and the same is true of the Christmas card list. Several hundred thousand [were] mailed out, paid for by the Democratic National Committee. That compares with 1.5 million sent out by George W. Bush in 2003, paid for by the Republicans.
Perhaps it is the reason why I had such a hard time finding someone online who had received a card and then posted the images….because the number sent had been scaled so far back.
I kept looking though.
Early on in December I did discover that the White House card was being printed by American Greetings, and… [featured] a gold foil-embossed presidential seal surrounded by a wreath, and a thin burgundy border around the edges. It [contained] the message: "May your family have a joyous holiday season and a new year blessed with hope and happiness."
It is a very elegant looking card. An interior view of the card can be seen at History Is Elementary.
Yes, there were some folks who objected to the word Christmas being left out, but even past administrations…..even President George W. Bush…..has left out the word Christmas before.
Through my search I kept finding the same Associated Press article that was reposted by news outlets and bloggers over and over describing Christmas preparations and the various decorations in each room. It used the White House as the source for the information found in the article.
Listings like this, this and this…..all basically saying the same thing word for word….Hundred of such articles can be found by Googling "White House Christmas".
Over and over I read the same thing…..Decorations [in the State Dining Room] were designed to complement the coloring in the William Cogswell portrait of Abraham Lincoln above the fireplace on the west wall.
Here's where they art mystery comes in. Examine closely the picture of the State Dining Room as it was decorated for the holidays I've included below. Notice the painting of President Lincoln above the fireplace. It's been there awhile.
The above picture is located in the photo archives of the Washington Post
Now look back at the text in italics from the Associated Press article…..designed to compliment the coloring of the William Cogswell portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
The painting in the picture above….the way the State Dining Room looked in December, 2009…..is NOT the William Cogswell painting.
It is the painting completed by George A.P. Healy.A Time magazine article from 1937 describes the Healy painting as it was donated to the White House from the estate of Lincoln's daughter-in-law. The article states….One of the Lincoln family's few precious objects which had not already been given to the Government was the Healy portrait of Lincoln, which showed him, nearly lifesize, seated with legs crossed, one finger along his cheek, the other hand clutching the chair arm.
Hmmm…ok. Look back at the picture of the State Dining Room.
Isn't that the Healy painting?
Still wondering and still not totally satisfied I pulled up the page to search the White House art collection belonging to The White House Historical Association. There I pulled up the Healy painting and was shown the same image as my picture above.
When I pulled up the William Cogswell painting I was shown the following image:
Yes, very different. The Cogswell image shows Lincoln standing, and the U.S. Capitol building is in the background behind him.

As thousands of participants flocked to the Avalon at 8PM, the crowd was spoiled with creative presentations of artists, live-art and dancers which were sprawled throughout the venue.
Afterwards, the music of alternative-pop band Fire in the Hamptons took their turn on stage with a live performance that featured the song, "Humanimal," causing the audience members join in their musical escapade with models cheering and singing along to verses that have been featured on shows such as Gossip Girl and Jersey Shore.
Music and fashion were just some of the creative faucets fully expressed throughout the night. Throughout the evening, participants were also able to enjoy a variety of art that were presented in the Main Room as well as the Bardot galleries. Artists that blessed Project Ethos with eclectic art included Aaron Mostow, Gregg "Viz" Visintainer, Johnie Thorton, and Miri Chais.
Artwork ranged from live-art, to photography, to drawings, and paintings that illuminated the unity in creativity, a common theme for the night. "The Fate of Music, Fashion, and Art" is definitely something to look forward to as the eclectic evening of creativity presented by Project Ethos was a testament to this truth.

11 South American Pillars to Plan Your Trip AroundSouth America's thirteen countries offer a diverse travel experience. From the beaches of Brazil to the rain forest in Ecuador to the Andes in Peru to the big, cosmopolitan cities everywhere, South America is a geographically and culturally rich continent. It is also a whole heck of a lot of fun to travel there, and most of the continent is very budget friendly.
Indie travelers could easily spend a year or more traversing this massive continent, and it was set up for indie travel. The bus system is vast, the prices typically low, the people friendly, and the culture welcoming and unique in each country you visit.
When planning a trip of any kind, most have their pillars, or must-see, destinations, and South America is chock full of amazing sites, cities, and activities. Here are a handful to plan your trip around:
- Machu Picchu - One of the most sought after sites in the entire world, Machu Picchu's a magical, mystical ruins offer a glimpse into the lives of the Incas in the middle of the Andes. Take the train from Cusco or take part in one of the many hikes offered, including the most popular - The Classic Inca Trail.
- Iguazu Falls - These mammoth falls that straddle the borders of three countries - Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay - are a site to behold. They are worth a multiple day visit, as many travelers like to see them from both the Argentina and Brazil side. If you've ever been to Niagara, that will look like a drippy faucet compared to these behemoths.
- Patagonia - If you are an outdoors lover, then Patagonia no doubt is near the top of your travel wish list. Options abound in this vast region covering much of the southern parts of both Argentina and Chile - with hiking, climbing, camping, and every activity you could imagine - all in one of the most stunning landscapes in the world.
- Easter Island - Located far off the coast of Chile (it's about half way to Tahiti), Easter Island is still shrouded in mystery. Traveler go for the isolation and to marvel at the giant moai, which the island is littered with.
- The Galapagos - One of the most fascinating places on Earth for those who love wildlife, the Galapagos are tops on most South American itineraries. Price of traveling there deters many - but if you read Finally, a Galapagos Trip You Can Afford, you can see how a family of three did the Galapagos on $5000USD, flights from the US included.
- Salar de Uyuni (Bolivian Salt Flats) - The name of this infamous South American tour is a bit misleading. The Salt Flats themselves are a certain highlight, but they are only a small part of most 3-4 day jeep tours. Salt Flat tours typically visit much of the Bolivian southwest, which has an other-worldly terrain that will have you feeling as though you left planet Earth. One of the most visually stunning regions on the planet.
- The Amazon - Lots of travelers automatically think of Brazil when they see the word "Amazon," but it's important to know that it's possible to visit parts of the Amazon from Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador as well. Visiting this vast jungle oasis is great for those interested in flora and fauna.
- Angel Falls - Venezuela has long been a destination that travelers debate, and with the recent death of President Hugo Chavez, no one knows what's in store. If political instability clears up, Angel Falls, the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the entire world, is worthy of a visit.
- Rio de Janeiro - Another great aspect of travel in South America is the big, cosmopolitan cities it offers, and Rio is near the top. The beaches, the food, the landscapes, and the vibrancy of its people means Rio is a place not to be missed.
- Buenos Aires - One of the most unique cities in not only South America, but the world, Buenos Aires is part Latin America, part Europe. Red meat, red wine, tango, and futbol are the passions here, and while prices aren't as low as they once were, it's still much cheaper than visiting comparable cities around the world.
- The Colombian people - While I hate to categorize an entire people as a pillar, part of what we love about indie travel is connecting with locals, and nowhere is it easier than in Colombia. This is no longer the war-torn, drug fueled nation it once was, and the people of Colombia are eager to show travelers why. Never have I felt so welcomed, and never has the happiness of a people rubbed off on me than in Colombia.
If you are seeking something truly different, head to the Amazon. If you want all of the above, consider making stops along the Pan-American Highway. If you really want to get off the beaten path, try visiting Guyana or French Guiana. How many people do you know that have been there?
Getting aroundSouth America is a HUGE continent, so while getting around is rather easy in most places, travel times can be extremely long. Buses are by far the best way to get around, as most countries don't have trains. The bus network in most countries is very well developed, though quality varies drastically from country to country. In Argentina it's common to have seats that recline to a near-horizontal position, and eat hot meals while drinking glasses of wine. In Bolivia, well, not so much.
One thing to note about getting around in South America is that English is not widely spoken. You can always go through an travel agent in most places when booking buses, but you'll pay considerably more than just going to the bus station and booking yourself. Obtaining some basic knowledge of Spanish will help quite a bit.
Read Seven Spectacular Bus Routes Through South America to find out more about bus travel throughout the continent.
Where to stayOnce you are on the continent, you will have a lot of options for accommodations. South America hostels are the affordable way to go, but as with most regions fo the world, they vary greatly in quality. On average, and remember that all countries will vary, most backpackers can get by on about $7-15USD/night for accommodations.
If you are a couple or family, private hostel rooms with ensuite bathrooms will set you back around $20-25USD/night for the room. Big cities are obviously going to cost more, super small towns less, and places like Brazil and Patagonia are on the higher end of the cost spectrum.

Wi-Fi network limits 'unlimited' access package
All you can eat as long as you don't eat more than 1GB
European Wi-Fi hotspot network The Cloud has made good on its promise to introduce an all-you-can eat wireless internet access tariff. Commit to spending £12 a month and you get "unlimited" internet connectivity, or you can buy it by the week on a pay-as-you-go basis, again for £12 a pop.
The Cloud uses the word "unlimited", but we don't. A glance at the service's terms and conditions reveals that a "fair use" policy applies: users can send and receive together no more than 1GB of data in any given month or week, depending on whether they go down the subscription or pay-as-you-go payment route.
A spokesman for The Cloud told us the limit was enforced to prevent the service - dubbed Ultra Wi-Fi - being used for commercial purposes, for which read 'running a server'.
The Cloud announced its plan to offer an "unlimited" service in May this year, and it's about time. Up to now, the company has charged £5 an hour to access any of its 7,000-odd hotspots, and other providers charge much the same amount.
3G has never really challenged hotspots for connectivity speed, but the arrival of HSDPA technology, which boost 3G download speeds significantly may quickly change that, particularly since so many HSPDA phone can connect to laptops by Bluetooth to operate as a modem.
HSDPA coverage will be limited, however, and The Cloud also said today it was activating the first of its nine planned city-centre Wi-Fi "hotzones" - a series of overlapping hotspots, essentially. The first is in the heart of Manchester, and similar zones in Birmingham, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham and Oxford, along with the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, Camden, and Islington, will all go live this summer. September will see a City of London zone go into operation, The Cloud said. ®

A 10-year-old boy from the Netherlands who signed up for Google+ was notified by Google that he violated the terms of service and will lose all his Google privileges in 29 days.
In order for Google+ to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, it requires users to be 13 or over to use it. The 10-year-old signed up with his real birthdate, and now must prove he's 13 or over or lose all rights to Google services including Gmail, according to Business Insider.
A man claiming to be the boy's father brought publicity to the boy's plight in a blog post last week:
U.S. & World
Today, he tried to use Gmail, but found that his account was locked. A big scary message says that his account has been shut down because Google has discovered a Terms Of Service age violation. Not only is the account inaccessible, they also say that they will delete it in 29 days, unless he provides them with evidence that he is over 13 years old. All because he entered his date of birth when he created his Google Profile.
Alex was in tears. He is enormously upset about this. Google is basically just going to delete his last two years of email messages (they don't offer any way to log in and export his messages), and plans to cut him off from his family until he turns 13.
"While this is perhaps an extreme example - after all, Google is legally obligated to act within the restrictions of COPPA - it is one that could have serious implications for anyone who breaks the rules, intentionally or otherwise," Al Jazeera wrote on its opinion page.
What we don't understand is that thousands of kids under 13 are signing up for Facebook, and likely other social networks, with little trouble. That's because they lie about their age. Grow up, Netherlands.

Translators and Resource Adaptors
A Translator provides an abstraction layer between Teiid Query Engine and physical data source, that knows how to convert Teiid issued query commands into source specific commands and execute them using the Resource Adaptor. It also have smarts to convert the result data that came from the physical source into a form that Teiid Query engine is expecting.
Teiid provides various pre-built translators for sources like Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, XML, File etc.
A Translator also defines the capabilities of a perticular source, like whether it can natively support query joins (inner joins, cross joins etc) or support criteria.
A Transaltor along with its Resource Adaptor is always must be configured on a Source Model. Cross-source queries issued against a VDB running in Teiid result in source queries being issued to translator, which interact with the physical data sources.
A Translator is defined by using one of the default pre-built ones, or you can override the default properties of the pre-built ones to define your own. The tooling will provide mechanisms to define override translators.
Check out "Developer's Guide" on how to create a custom Translator that works with your Resource Adaptor.
Resouce Adaptors
A Resouce Adaptor provides the connectivity to the physical data source. This also provides way to natively issue commands to the source and gather results. A Resource Adaptor can be a RDBMS data source, Web Service, text file, connection to main frame or to a custom source you defined. This is often is JCA Connector, however there is no restriction how somebody provides the connection semantics to the Translator.
However, if your source needs participate in distributed XA transactions, then this must be a JCA connector. Other than providing transactions, JCA defines how to do configuration, packaging and deployment. This also provides a standard interaction model with the Container, connection pools etc. It can be used for more than just Teiid data integration purposes.
A instance of resouce adaptor is created by defining a "-ds.xml" file in the JBoss AS. This is same operation that is used to create Data Sources in JBoss AS.
Check out the "Developer's Guide" on how to create a custom Resource Adaptor.
Translator Capabilities
translator capabilities define what processing each translator/source combination can perform. For example, most relational sources can process joins and unions, whereas when processing delimited text files these operations cannot be performed by the resource adaptor or the "source" (in this case, the file system).
Capabilities are used by the Teiid query engine to determine what subsets of the overall federated query plan can be pushed down to each source involved in the query.
Translator capabilities define the capabilities of a source in terms of language features (joins, criteria, functions, unions, sorts, etc). In addition, the source model defined in a virtual database may specify additional constraints at the metadata level, such as whether a column can be used in an exact match or wildcard string match, whether tables and columns can be updated, etc. In combination, these features can be used to more narrowly constrain how users access a source.
Resource Adaptors and Security
It is possible to use the security system of individual data sources if this is desired. When the resource adapter is JCA connector, they can be configured with separate "security-domain" in their "-ds.xml" files in the JBoss AS. However, calling thread need to login into the context before they use Teiid.
In Teiid, Translators and Resource adaptors can be configured and monitored using the Teiid Console, or using the Teiid Server Administrative API.

Child sex predators are the target of a new Police Scotland public information campaign.
The force is warning those who prey on children and exploit them for sex that it are "on to them".
The campaign - which will run on social media and digital platforms over the next four weeks - alerts sexual predators that Police Scotland knows how they operate, where they operate and is aware of the methods used to exploit young people.
Child sexual exploitation (CSE) happens to girls and boys in communities across Scotland.
Perpetrators exert power over children using violence, coercion and intimidation.
They will target young people offering them anything and everything from food, drugs and alcohol to gifts and even affection in return for sex. Any child or young person regardless of gender, ethnicity, background or sexual orientation may experience this form of child abuse.
Chief Constable Phil Gormley said: "Children across Scotland are being groomed for sex by predators. This kind of insidious behaviour can, at times, be hidden under a veil of seemingly innocent contact when in reality the child is being groomed to be sexually abused.
"Sexually exploiting a child will not be tolerated and our message to perpetrators is simple: we know how you operate, where you operate and the techniques you use. We're on to you.
"It is vital we work together with partners and across communities to raise awareness of CSE, of recognising the signs and focusing on prevention.
"Tackling child abuse in all its forms, including CSE, is one Police Scotland's highest priorities. Our children deserve nothing less."
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "Keeping children safe from abuse and exploitation is a key priority for the Scottish Government and we fully support the work of Police Scotland to tackle those who prey on children.
"Everyone has a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable in society by reporting signs of child exploitation and abuse so it can be stopped."
Martin Crewem Barnardo's Scotland Director said: "Barnardo's Scotland is giving its full support to Police Scotland on this important campaign. We know more and more about how perpetrators operate and the grooming techniques they use so we are now able to target them more effectively."
Anyone concerned about a child can call 101, social work or report it to Crimestoppers.

Water Committees
Section 208
Pima Association of Governments is the Designated Planning Agency (DPA) under Section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act and, as such, is responsible for regional water quality planning throughout Pima County, excluding tribal lands.
PAG maintains and updates the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (208 Plan) for the region. Under state and federal regulations, all new or significantly changed wastewater treatment facilities must gain consistency with the 208 Plan before permits may be issued. PAG's 208 amendment process is outlined in the 208 Plan, which was approved by the Regional Council in March 2006. If a facility is not consistent with the plan, an amendment must be approved before the facility can be permitted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ).
PAG conducts regional wastewater planning in coordination with the region's three Designated Management Agencies (DMA) are responsible for ensuring that wastewater service is provided in their management areas.

PAG DPA 208 Process Resources
PAG 208 Plan Update 2019
PAG is required to update the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan every five years or as needed to fulfill mandatory designated watershed planning responsibilities. The most recent plan was created in 2006. Since that time changes have included amendments to the plan for new wastewater facilities and new designated management areas. PAG will update, streamline and modernize the 208 Plan.
The Draft 208 Plan documents and instructions for providing feedback are located on the Watershed Planning Subcommittee page.
Interested parties may contact Mead Mier, Lead Watershed Planner, at firstname.lastname@example.com, to join an advisory team.
The guiding principles of the update are to:
Participation Timeline
The designated management agencies of the Town of Marana, Town of Sahuarita and Pima County assisted PAG in reviewing the scope of work. Westland Resources is on contract, approved by Regional Council on Feb. 23, 2017, to assist with the update. The effort is anticipated to span through 2019 with a planning, engagement, review and approval process.
Updates will be posted and provided to WPS & EPAC.
PAG is working with ADEQ and the other Designated Planning Agencies (DPA) in the state for recommendations and lessons learned from their Plan updates.
Local DMA Resources
Pima County
Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department designs, manages and maintains the sanitary sewer system in Pima County, including the conveyance system and treatment system. The Treatment Division operates and maintains the treatment facilities that receive, treat, and dispose of over 62 million gallons per day (MGD) of sanitary sewage. Two major facilities handle sewage from the metropolitan Tucson area, and seven facilities serve remote areas scattered throughout several areas of eastern Pima County.
In 2009, Pima County gained approval for a 208 amendment to ensure that it can meet near-term future effluent water quality standards as established by ADEQ. As of Jan. 8, 2014, the last flows to the Roger Road wastewater reclamation facility (WRF) were diverted from the old plant to the new facility, Agua Nueva WRF. Since December 16, 2013, the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (RWRD) has been diverting flows from the Roger Road WRF to the Agua Nueva Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). The Agua Nueva WRF is a new state-of-the-art water reclamation facility that will allow Pima County to meet new strict environmental standards for effluent discharges into the Santa Cruz River. The Tres Rios WRF has a current capacity of 25 MGD. Work to increase the facility's capacity to 37.5 MGD is underway; construction began in January 1998. The total two-plant capacity of 82 MGD serves the county's municipal treatment needs through the 2030 planning horizon.
Town of Sahuarita
The Town of Sahuarita became a Designated Management Agency in 1999. The DMA was revised in consultation with PAG, the Town and Pima County with the March 2006 208 Plan. Because some areas near Sahuarita could be served in the future by either the Town or Pima County, the March 2006 208 Plan designated Joint Planning Areas around the Town's DMA. These areas are not officially assigned to either DMA at this time. Instead, Pima County and the Town of Sahuarita will work together to decide who will serve these areas when the need for service arises.
The Town currently operates the Sahuarita Water Reclamation Facility. In February 2014, ADEQ issued a significant amendment to the aquifer protection permit authorizing the Town to operate the facility at a maximum monthly flow of 3.0 mgd upon completion of phased improvements. The current physical capacity of the facility is 1.50 mgd.
Planning for wastewater service in other areas within the Sahuarita DMA is ongoing.
Town of Marana
In 2014, the Town of Marana became a Designated Management Agency and now provides wastewater service in the boundary area agreed upon by Pima County and the Town of Marana. On April 25, 2013, PAG's Regional Council directed PAG convene the Scope of Work Task Force. The PAG Regional Council approved the amendment to PAG's Water Quality Management Plan on September 25, 2013, and the Statewide Water Quality Management Working Group forwarded a positive recommendation to ADEQ on Oct. 8, 2013. The final certification letter from ADEQ was signed on March 27, 2014.
The Marana Water Reclamation division provides design, management, and operations and maintenance of the North Marana sanitary sewer system. This includes the conveyance and treatment systems for over 48 miles of sewer, and two water reclamation facilities. Marana assumed management of the wastewater system in the northern part of the town in January of 2012, acquiring the plant and its collection lines from Pima County in April of 2013. The town paid Pima County for the facility northwest of Luckett and Marana roads. The 208 Amendment enabled the Town to become a Designated Management Agency (DMA) and to provide wastewater service in the areas tributary to the Lucket Road and Rillito Vista Water Reclamation Facilities.
What Do The Laws and Regulations Say About 208 Planning?
Arizona Administrative Code
Why is PAG Responsible for 208 Planning?
PAG was designated as the regional water quality planning agency for all of Pima County (excluding tribal lands) in 1974 by the Governor of Arizona. As a result, PAG is responsible for administering the 208 Plan in Pima County, ensuring that a regional approach is taken to wastewater planning. Pima County was as the first wastewater management agency in the PAG region designated as a Designated Management Agencies.
PAG works closely with the three Designated Management Agencies and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to ensure implementation of the 208 Plan.
Why is 208 Planning Necessary?
Areawide wastewater treatment management plans, otherwise known as "208 Plans," are required by Section 208 of the Clean Water Act. In addition, Section 208 states that no National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits shall be issued for any point source of pollution which is in conflict with a 208 Plan. In Arizona, ADEQ will not issue an AZPDES permit, which is the state equivalent for the national permit or an aquifer protection permit. Also, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality will not issue an approval to construct treatment facilities that are not consistent with a 208 Plan.
The goal of 208 Planning is to coordinate the efforts of all the water management agencies as they relate to waste treatment planning. By coordinating efforts, duplication is minimized, consensus is built, and communication is enhanced. All parties are provided with the opportunity to be involved in the planning affecting their operation. The process also helps ensure that adequate public input occurs.
PAG's 208 Plan emphasizes the regionalization of wastewater treatment, and discourages the proliferation of small, privately owned treatment facilities because of potential accessibility issues if adjacent privately owned properties become land-locked. Long-term reliability of small facilities and potential impacts to water quality further lend support to the concept of regionalization of wastewater treatment.
What is a 208 Plan Amendment?
A 208 Plan Amendment is any approved change to the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan. Areawide Water Quality Management Plans are required under Section 208 of the Clean Water Act.
In the PAG region, most 208 Plan Amendments since 1990 have related to proposals to construct wastewater treatment facilities that were not included in the original 208 Plan adopted in 1978. Many 208 Plan Amendments adopted in the 1980s addressed policy changes, pollution source assessments, groundwater quality investigations, and long-range plans for meeting regional wastewater treatment needs.
A 208 Plan Amendment is generally in the form of a detailed document that contains a variety of information that is required by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality in order to approve a 208 Plan Amendment.
What Is the Process for Amending PAG's 208 Plan?
The approved process for amending PAG's 208 Plan is presented below. The planning process includes participation from local jurisdictions, the business community, environmental groups, public interest groups and the general public. In the case of proposals for private wastewater treatment facilities, the party requesting the amendment must first contact Pima County Wastewater Management Department or the Town of Sahuarita depending on the facility location, because they are the designated management agencies in Pima County (excluding tribal lands). Pima County or the Town of Sahuarita must first decline to serve the area in question in order for a 208 Plan Amendment for a private facility to proceed.
PAG will charge a processing fee for each 208 Plan Amendment in order to recover the process administration costs. The 208 Plan Amendment process is as follows:
1. The party requesting a change to the 208 Plan contacts the jurisdiction where the facility will be located and requests jurisdictional sponsorship of the project. Sponsorship does not mean support; it only indicates a willingness to investigate the possibility of such a project. Jurisdictions in Pima County include Tucson, South Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, and Pima County.
2. The jurisdiction contacts PAG to initiate the 208 planning process. This request may come from an elected official or a representative of the Manager's office. The item will be placed on the agenda for the Regional Council's monthly meeting.
3. The Regional Council directs staff to begin the 208 planning process.
4. A "Scope of Work" Task Force is convened to determine the scope of work for the plan amendment report.
5. A draft report is prepared by the party requesting the amendment; several copies are submitted to the Scope of Work Committee for review.
6. The Scope of Work Committee determines if the draft plan amendment report contains the necessary elements and adequately addresses any issues. If so, the report is submitted to the Water Quality Subcommittee of PAG's Environmental Planning Advisory Committee (EPAC).
7. The Water Quality Subcommittee of EPAC reviews the report and makes a recommendation to EPAC. (This subcommittee usually meets the third Thursday of every month.)
8. EPAC reviews the report and makes a recommendation to the Regional Council. (EPAC usually meets the first Friday of every month).
9. A public hearing is held (requires 45-day legal notice).
10. PAG's Management Committee reviews the proposal, EPAC's recommendation, and the results of the public hearing, and determines whether the proposal will be forwarded to the Regional Council. (The Management Committee usually meets once a month.)
11. PAG Regional Council action. (The Regional Council usually meets once a month, roughly two weeks after the Management Committee meets.)
12. Action at the statewide Water Quality Management Working Group in Phoenix (meets every other month).
13. ADEQ approval. Amendment is certified by ADEQ director.
14. EPA approval. (EPA has 120 days to review; if no comments are received, the amendment is considered to be approved.
When is a 208 Plan Amendment Required?
Generally, any change in wastewater service which was not included in the original 208 Plan or its amendments will require either an analysis for consistency with the plan, or a new Plan Amendment. A 208 Plan Amendment will also be required in the event of any change in a policy established by the original 208 Plan or adopted in subsequent 208 Plan Amendments. A Plan Amendment is generally not necessary for a facility modification that will not change the facility's capacity.
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Continuing Planning Process (April, 1993) identifies the following instances in which a 208 Plan Amendment is required:
For more information, contact PAG at (520) 792-1093 or the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality at 1-800-234-5677.
Planning for the treatment of municipal wastewater is a key part of 208 Planning. PAG's Section 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (208 Plan) identifies all of the existing wastewater treatment facilities in Pima County, as well as any facilities that have been proposed, and provides policy and management direction for control and use of wastewater in Pima County. The current 208 Plan consists of a document written in 1978 and all of its amendments through 2006, and was approved by the Regional Council on March 23, 2006.
The 208 Plan Update is provided below, both as an entire document and divided into parts, or you may review a copy at Pima Association of Governments offices in Tucson, Arizona.

Entire Plan (8.3 Mb PDF)
A 208 Plan Amendment is any approved change to the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan. In the PAG region, most 208 Plan Amendments since 1990 have related to proposals to construct wastewater treatment facilities that were not included in the original 208 Plan adopted in 1978. Many 208 Plan Amendments adopted in the 1980s addressed policy changes, pollution source assessments, groundwater quality investigations, and long-range plans for meeting regional wastewater treatment needs.
Recent 208 Amendments
Recent Consistency Reviews
A Consistency Review by DPA is required for new wastewater reclamation facilities, existing domestic facilities adding an AZPDES discharge outfall, major increased in design flow, and changes of ownership of facilities. A Consistency Review determines if a project was described in the PAG 208 Plan, or if not, if an Amendment to the PAG 208 Plan is necessary. ADEQ relies on PAG as the DPA to notify ADEQ if regional coordination has occurred and if cooperative support is present.

cardigan: new look
leggings: new look
Comfort, comfort, comfort! Sorry for the ever so boring outfit today, I really couldn't be bothered to get dressed properly. All I could manage was throwing on a dress and a nice big cardigan! I seem to wear this dress all the time at the moment, Despite it being scandalously short it is really lovely, and goes with so many of the things in my wardrobe!
In other news, I'm having eBay troubles at the moment, I bought a Canon 1000d off eBay from a seller via buy it now and paid immediately. Despite this the seller has tried to cancel the transaction claiming I haven't paid for the item. I'm a bit suspect about this, So I checked their ebay contact information against the one listed on their paypal account, and oh wait a min, its the same! So I'm obviously being scammed or just having my time wasted. I'm so annoyed because my money is now sitting unclaimed in "someone elses" paypal account, and its looking like I have to wait 30 days before I can get it back. And that is only if they don't claim it in those 30 days. £300 is a ridiculous amount to not have access too for 30 days! It's so annoying as I was looking forward to getting a new camera and improving the quality of the blog a bit more, So until then you will have to put up with my dodgy lighting and poor quality images!

KDE 3.0 Beta2 is Out
KDE 3.0 Beta2 was announced today after a delay due to a variety of problems. This new release should provide a great opportunity for those interested in helping hunt down bugs or simply seeing where the future of KDE is headed. Read the full announcement for details. "One of the major improvements brought by KDE 3.0 over KDE 2.2 is the Javascript/DHTML support in Konqueror. The DOM 2 model, used to render an HTML page, is now mostly implemented, and changes to the DOM tree are handled much better. The Javascript bindings and support is almost complete, faster and more stable than in KDE 2. These changes result in a much-improved rendering of dynamic websites and is something users will immediately appreciate."

Buglets ...
I just built KDE 3 beta 2, and it's pretty nice. I have a slight problem with image loading, though. It's not the common missing-qt-image-plugin problem that's been reported. Images, for the most part, load fine. However, some larger images have problems. Attached is a screenshot that shows this. The image is one of the wallpapers that came with KDE 3. Konqueror thinks it has completely loaded the image, but it's obviously not completely loaded. Small images tend to work OK, but larger ones (around 800 pixels wide, but it's kinda arbitrary!) have this cutoff problem. I've seen it with both PNG and JPEG files.

Re: Buglets ...
This would be a funny bug: Try to increase "Maximum file size" in KControl/File Browsing/File Manager/Previews.
By Someone at Sun, 2002/02/17 - 6:00am
Re: Buglets ...
Well, after experimenting some, I found out the why it's happening... If the image is much wider than the konqueror window ("much" being about 10-20 pixels it seems), it does the cutoff thing. If I expand konq wider than the visual screen, to at least the width of the image, it works without problems. Anyone else have this problem? You can open any small image with konq, then resize it to smaller than the width.
Note: I don't have kdegraphics installed, so if konq utilizes kview for embedding images if it's around, this behavior may not exhibit itself.
By KDE User at Sun, 2002/02/17 - 6:00am
Re: Buglets ...
I can reproduce this cutoff thing. If the image I want to view is wider than the konqueror window I get exactly what you describe. Also expanding konquerors window to the size of the image works for me. Using KDE3 Beta2.

kudos & rant (about apps.kde.org->'unknown host')
Thanks for the wonderful job ! :-)
It's amazing to see how mature it looks.
Now, one thing I really need to rant about is not KDE but rather http://apps.kde.org
Boys, that's incredible : we've got a fantastic desktop and our primary source for KDE applications has a broken DNS since ages !
I don't know how it is for you but here, if you type http://apps.kde.org in your favourite browser, there are lot of chances that you got an "unknown host" most of the time.
In fact, a "dig apps.kde.org IN A" does not bring any "Answer Section"...
Wouldn't it be possible to have a specific domain name for this quite critical resource ? Or at least to update this damn *.ca conf file ??
This is hurting KDE badly, IMHO.

Re: kudos & rant (about apps.kde.org->'unknown host')
:: Then I guess the apps site is not related to the KDE project ?
Depends on what you mean by "related". Sure, Linux.com, Slashdot.org, even Thinkgeek.com are "related" to Linux. You can buy nice warm Tux blankets at Thinkgeek. But Thinkgeek is not directly sponsored by the same people who write the Linux kernel (although some people associated with it are friendly with them, so you have things like the Alan Cox designed tee-shirt).
In the same way, the KDE site lists links to places where you can find Konqi plush dolls... that does not mean that those sites are directly connected to the KDE Team. In the same way, kde.com is very much a "KDE site", but not directly connected to the KDE Team.
Incidently, I think my personal rule of thumb is that "KDE Official" = In KDE CVS. Since all the websites are in CVS, the only thing that I would consider official that dosen't appear to be directly in the CVS are the lists.

mmmh... not quite exactly the same way.
In fact, every single link on www.kde.org's main page point to a kde.org site EXCEPT apps.kde.com, and there is absolutely no indication to tell you that the site is not part of the project.
I find this situation very confusing.

Re: kudos & rant (about apps.kde.org->'unknown host')
Aren't you playing with words ?
You will also notice that apps.kde.com is not present in this list, thus it seems it is not a member of the "family" whereas others are.
An despite of that, the menu entry "Download/Applications" seems to point to it as if it where a part of www.kde.org.
No need to be deep and clever, I mean.

I was referring to the fact that the "official" KDE websites are in KDE's CVS server. That does not mean that you can't use freshmeat.net, apps.kde.com or download.com. Apps.k.c happens to be the leading one - that's why it's listed... kde.themes.org used to be, until kde-look.org surpassed it (well, pretty much unilaterally replaced it as well), and now kde-look.org is listed.
You're arguing over a useful link to a good resource. I merely answered the technical reason as to why it isn't a kde.org site. Step back for a minute, and answer this question - "What is your point?"

My point is clear : there is a useful external resource that is used by kde.org as an internal resource.
As all other internal resources are located at kde.org,
This is not important if I'm the only one on this small earth to persist in typing the wrong URL.
Wait and see.

Re: kudos & rant (about apps.kde.org->'unknown host')
:: it would be more consistent if a request to apps.kde.org did not encounter an "unknown host" but a redirection page to apps.kde.com or whatever is most relevant.

Actually, staring right at you is a site listed in the "family" but neither accessible from KDE's CVS or through other "regular" channels - that's right, the dot is an alien!
Going down the "family" list, none of the following sites is in KDE's CVS or hosted on the "KDE" servers:

Re: kudos & rant (about apps.kde.org->'unknown host')
Hey, I just said it was my casual rule of thumb... and I even mentioned that lists.kde.org isn't on there (although, to be honest, the dot isn't for the same reason - they are interactive, rather than published, you've listed webcvs twice, which along with lxr *is* the CVS, printing is in CVS, and the remaing kde.org is promo - I have no idea why that isn't in CVS. KDE-Look is like apps.kde.com - not run by KDE, but simply "best of breed" (which I also previously mentioned). I believe that kdeleague.org is running on a different server, and kdevelop.org existed before it was part of the KDE project, and probably hasn't been phased in.
Those are my guesses - as I said, it was a casual rule of thumb. And I'm employing ESR's famous "If you don't know, state your guess, and you'll get corrected", so I'm sure we'll find out the status of all those sites in the next few days. :)

That's funny to read that post.
I can agree that having 2 projects means to code twice most applications. So the development can be slower than wanted by some users. But a little 'competition' improves a lot the functionality of each apps. I can't say that of closed system. At each upgrade, there is nothing new. My notepad or explorer still poors of functionality.
I don't like some systems. I don't use them. If you don't like KDE, don't use it and don't read news about it. I'm sure you will feel great

> * Myth #1 - KDE is more integrated than GNOME
yeah but compared to the other named ones KDE is not a commercial product, where rich companies put millions of money into the project. they pay for scienctists, big companies that does marketing research and stuff.
> * Myth #2 - KDE is easier to use
you are mixing things here:
- redcarpet is a product by ximian. they move towards $$$ with redcarpet pro now to get some bucks for their support system.
> * Myth #3 - KDE is more popular
yes, and no one has anything against mixing systems and software. no one said anything negative about that. but thats the problem if people had worked on one desktop as we gonna repeat this here. then there would have been powerfull apps for that desktop so there would be no need to mix applications but no... someone needed to start another desktop and reinvent the wheel with the apps. now the unix community in general are 20 steps back.
> One of the few solid measures of popularity is commercial use of a desktop,
- yeah and dont you see it now ?
sun, redhat, ximian... these 3 companies work on gnome. as you correctly said SUN is acting as beeing the OWNER of gnome now. you read a lot of mails on a couple of gnome mailinglist where they act like 'NAZIS' giving orders and tell people what to do and what not (instead asking quietly). sun is following their own business interests here e.g. substitution of CDE with GNOME 2 (anyone realized why gnome 2 comes up looking like CDE default installation ?). practically gnome is already under their control, people from outside who wants to contribute or want to bring in their own ideas are beeing rejected. its opensource but the roadmap is clear so forking it is getting impossible not to mention that the developerbase is a closed community.
now some problems:
ximian wants .NET and C#. sun the inventopr of JAVA. now dont you think both will collide when it comes to gnome 3 or gnome 4 ?
> * Myth #4 - Konqueror is the best Linux browser
you are a clueless person.
- konqueror is more than a browser it integrates browser, filemanager in a nice plugin system way AND it is FASTER than NAUTILUS. ask me i have tested all 3 versions. nautilus for gnome 1, nautilus for gnome 2 and konqueror for kde 3.
but dont worry, kde 3 offers a browser and filemanager at least. we on gnome 2 can wait months before we get a halfway usable browser not to mention that nautilus still sucks. if you dont belive me wait until the official release dates then you see how many persons actually rant about that.
> * Myth #5 - KDE applications are better/more advanced than GNOME ones due to
then get your ass moving and enchance the software. not to mention that using a OOP programminglanguage is the best decission for writing an entire DE the QT widgetsset is more enchanced QT3 with its new database support etc.
> GNOME applications get much more testing in their 0.x stages and despite
sorry did you say testing ? dude i am into that shit better than you. lets pic that stuff out.
- evolution, ximian product. its gpl'ed but the exchange server support is what matters. thats the purpose why evolution is so (more or less good it is still full of bugs and the addressbook is worthless). ximian paid the evolution hackers to do this product for free they get the money from selling exchange stuff to customers and companies.
- oki gnumeric is perfect. no doubt.
> It's not only in the area of user applications that GNOME is vastly more
seriously no one belives this. even apes wont belive you. 2-3 years ahead ? 2-3 years back yes. gnome 2 will be slower than gnome 1 from UI usage. a lot of ports cant be done correctly just in time for gnome 2 so they mainly port some stuff now (because they are under highly pressure now) sure they have written a a lot of stuff new and changed a lot of the framework, doesnt change the fact that it is never 2-3 years ahead. while you stick on a gnome 2 desktop with no serious basic programs for a while (like email client and browser) you can use KDE3 fine without problems. all necessary applications are there already and you dont care if 1-2 applications still needs a while. on gnome you need to wait for the BITTER NEEDED tools. even gnome developers tell you to use gnome 1 with gnome 2 together. what crappy idea is this ? so why does one want gnome 2 at all if he still requires running gnome 1 to get his beloved applications running. even your beloved evolution (soon 1.2 will be out with soup and .NET) support wont be ported to gnome 2 until evolution 1.4 is out (which takes another couple of shit months).
> Yet despite all this, we are still regularly fed the lie that Qt and C++ makes
i judged and my conclusion is that you are wrong.
> * Myth #6 - KDE is faster and takes less memory than GNOME
not to speak writing a widgetset in C like GTK that does raceconditions on the system over and over. not to mention about the garbage collector stuff within kde. a lot of gnome applications are leaking memory over and over because the coders are dump jerks.
> Perhaps the most cretinous of all problems is blaming the extremely slow
try some sex dude.
> * Myth #7 - GNOME development is slower. KDE releases faster.
hahaha you gave me a final laugh dude:
i like the way kde release stuff. they take their time, get the stuff working and do some intensive testing before releasing packages. gnome in the otherside does exactly the different here an example of gnome-utils changelof for gnome 1.4:
- changelog:
01-01-2002 - added de.po, hk.po (version changed to 184.108.40.206)
what i want to say is they change some minor fucking unworthy to mention things and bump the version. same for gnumeric once you get gnumeric compiled and installed, go to ftp.gnome.org and leech another new version.
> * Myth #8 - The Qt toolkit is cross-platform and yet takes advantage of each
at least you can port qt and kde apps. look on gnome it depends on so many different programminglanguages, it depends on so many other (wherever you get them applications) that you need ages to get a basic system ported to either windows and wherever.
> * Myth #9 - TrollTech is a friend of Free software
you are totally clueless once again you proof it.
some years back there was only 2-3 widgetsets out one of them was the leading MOTIF widgetset which was closed source and during this time outdated. people tried to write a DE and searched for a OOP compatible widgetset so they found their way to QT which filled all their needs. sure QT during this time wanted to earn some money or do you think a company could exists, feed their family and pay the bills by writing free software ? thats plain sick and plain wrong. we should be thankfull to trolltech that they offer QT under a GPL compatible license now and you fuckign shithead have nothing better to do than piss around. what kinda asshole are you ?

Re: more KDE myths
Pfft. Silly rabbit, crack is for kids.
You've taken a horrendously unneeded "Linux is world" attitude. Perhaps GuhNome is easier to setup and install and use on Linux. Posts previous to yours seems to indicate it is not. However, I can attest to how hard it is to get GuhNome setup (properly?) on FreeBSD. Then again I don't have the patience to download all of the dependencies for GuhNome.
Second. C++. Learn to love it. Quite frankly KDE doesn't seem all that slow. And I'm running a 2xP2-450 w/ a FreeBSD -current kernel. Hardly optimized for SMP, hardly quick, but for sure after disabling the "WITNESS" code it's very useable. Sure symbol mangling is a bitch. But what freakin genius decided that it was a good idea to cram zen and the art of object oriented OBJECTS into a functional language? Perhaps someone is trying to fellate the ego of the preprocessor author? Sheesh.
Thirdly. Stop knocking on any resemblance to Windows. Oddly enough Win98+MSIE+Word allow me to get a whole lot more work done than Leenuchs or FreeBSD plus whatever silly graphical UI. Just because something is a thinly veiled immitation of something else (which I don't see as true in KDE's case) - doesn't make it bad. Ask ten shoe wearing pedestrians what they think of when they think of old school rap. Sugarhill Gang: Rapper's Delight. That managed to jack the bass line off of an average disco song as well as a bunch of lyrics from other sources. But it still gets ya going, and it still went a long way to putting hip hop in the limelight.
