I'm a fan. So much a fan that I won't hear a bad word uttered against him.
I'm delighted, then, to see his kin revere him. His daughter Nancy who has been pictured with me, and granddaughter Amanda grace the opening of tribute show Sinatra: The Man and his Music at the London Palladium.
It was my extreme pleasure to see Sinatra in person at Ibrox. I remember the shoes glittering when the curtains parted, and the man himself walked on stage at the stadium. In living memory, a performance to cherish. My recollection of Carol Kidd doing the warm-up is vague.
I did, at least, wave goodbye to the genius at the stadium gates.
On wrong foot
Hae ma doots. Aboot Boris Johnson who I'm touting for Lord Provost of Edinburgh.
But Boris with his carefully dishevelled hairstyle, quizzed by somebody in his London audience, snapped: "Why aren't you even standing? That's what we all want to know."
"Because I'm in a wheelchair," replied the member of the audience.
Close shave
Cor! Got out of the Western just in time. The hospital has been walloped on hygiene and cleanliness.
I don't see the NHS shouting in defence. Cleanliness, besides being next to Godliness is what the Western should be all about.
I've been there but, I believe, I'm not dead yet.
Words of wisdom
Your attention, please. Hark at Pope Francis: "The Earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth."
I can but agree with His Holiness. Never a truer word.

Watch the video to discover why Vets all over the world are now advising the Our K9 Range of Bark Collars that include Sound, Ultrasonic, Vibrations and Static Shock Anti Bark Collars and why they do not advise Citronella spray type No Bark collars.
Barking is a very regular habits of pets as it is their way of interacting withtheir human companion and other animals. Pet dog typically bark to express their sensations to their human buddy. So, occasionally even a appropriately acted dog can startbarking constantly. There are a great deal of factors that might trigger a dog to bark and theirbarking can be extremely frustrating.Dogs often bark to warntheir human companion of a suspicious activity or a suspicious person. Canines may likewise bark due to the fact that they do not trust strange peopleor they are uncomfortable with the presence of strange people in their house. Some dogs are used by their human buddy to alertthem of burglars and other sort ofthreats. But sometimes perpetual barking can be incredibly bothersome and disturbing since if your canine is barking all through the night, itcan have an adverse result on individuals living in the same home as the pet dog and their neighbors. A canine that is barking incessantly can trigger a significant boost in the stress levels of individuals in the pet dog's environment,this can result in loss of sleep.
Among the most popular ways of controlling barking issues in pet dogs is using barkcollars. Bark collars is among the most tender ways of managing perpetual barking in dogs. It is likewise an efficient way of managing barking problems in pets. A bark collar isalso an efficient method of training a dog, although it is not as extensively used as favorable reinforcement.
There are many kinds of dog collars in the market today,but the 3 most typical types of dog collars consist of;
The electrical shock bark collars are one of the earliest kind of bark collars on the market. They work by offering the canine a moderate static electrical power once the vibrations from its singing cords and barking sounds are identified by the sensors of the bark collars. The electrical shock dog collars sends out electric present to pet's muscles whenever he barks. The integrated prongs is typically used to provide the mild electric shock which can adjusted in strength inning accordance with the size of the canine and the training requirements. Nevertheless the specific method that each individual electric shock bark collars works depends on the model and the producer of the electric shock bark collar. The majority of kinds of electric shock barkcollars release a moderate electriccurrent when it senses that the canine is barking.Some people say that the electric shock bark collarsare terrible because of the mild electricalcurrent that is sent out to the pet's body however it isnot most likely damage your pet dog in any way. Theelectric shock bark collars is frequently usedto teach a pet to only bark when it is necessary and not just barking persistently. Individuals that are using the electrical shock bark collar for the very first time must begin with a low level setting and increase it gradually as the visit their website circumstance needs.
Making use of electrical shock bark collars is questionable, however it is very efficient for managing constant canine barking as long as the user has adequate understanding about it. And also prevent setting theintensity of the electrical shocks too expensive however rather set it to an intensity that is simplyunpleasant enough to dissuade thedog from barking. Likewise some electric shockbark collars use microphone to sense when the canine isbarking. Some collars nevertheless make use of both vibration sensing units and microphones to sense when the petdog is barking.
The ultrasonic bark collars are among the most popular bark collars in themarket today. This type of bark collars are utilized to discourage pets from barking by usingan go to my site frustrating yet completelyharmless noise. Ultrasonic bark collars typically workby releasing a high pitched ultrasonic sound that is said tobe annoying to prevent the pet dogfrom barking. They are likewise among the most efficient way of controlling a pet dog's perpetual barking. The bark collar discharges a noise when its microphone senses the dog'sbarking that surprises the pet dog without leading to any kind of physical harm. Themicrophones in the ultrasonic bark collars are established to pick up special barking, which stops the high pitched ultrasonic noise from inadvertently going off as aresult of other sounds. The high pitched ultrasonic noise emitted by the ultrasonic bark collars can not be heard byhumans but they can be heard by dogs, and it only lasts for a couple of seconds. Current research studies have actually shown that this type of barkcollars does not have any kind of negative impact on the pet due to the fact thatthe period of the high pitched ultrasonic noise is controlled. Several brand names of ultrasonic bark collarshave a positive tone feature that functions asa favorable reinforcement when the canine stopsbarking.
The citronella spray bark collars work by squirting out citronella unto thedog's snout whenever the dog beginsbarking. The citronella spray often go for the pet's sense for fast results. The citronella spray barkcollar are created to make the canine link the smell of citronella with barking, so the pet will stopbarking since he does not desire smell thecitronella that is often launched as a consequence forbarking. This is often effective because the aroma of citronella is very upseting to canines howeverit is also completely harmless. Citronella is generally used as an bug sprayby human beings but it does not trouble people.
As soon as the canine starts barking, themicrophone will sense the barking and the citronella spray bark collarwill launch the safe citronella scent. It does notrequire any human intervention to function and it has no unfavorable impacts on the health of the canine, rather it has a soothing impact on the pet. Full Article It also take advantage of pet dogs severe hatred of herbalsolutions. The quantity of citronella launched must just be enough to stop the pet from barking.
The only downsides of using the citronella spray bark collars isthat the aroma of the citronella might stay with the pet's body for lots of minutes or hours insome celebrations.

CIU is like being constantly taunted by your body. You never know when the next attack is going to come on, and youâre always bracing yourself for it. The skin you once felt comfortable in is now covered in itchy wheals and scars from previous outbreaks. The hives keep you up all night and youâre always tired. You lay awake, staring at the clock, counting down the hours until you have to get up. With each passing minute your frustration grows. Getting up in the morning becomes a struggle, yet falling asleep at night is impossible. Youâre a living, breathing paradox. And you feel trapped. But you learn how to persevere. You learn how to fight through the bad and keep going. And as you learn how to treat and manage your illness you look back and realize that despite everything, despite all the challenges, you are strong. And nothing can take that victory from you.

âLiving with the ongoing physical impact of an autoimmune disease is difficult, but the stigma associated with it makes everything even harder. I have suffered from chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) since the age of six. I spend significant time worrying about many of the unpredictable effects of my condition. Will I need to visit the hospital today because of severe swelling impeding my ability to breathe? Maybe. Will I be well enough to return to university? I hope so.
Outside of the physical aspects of CIU, my emotional health has been impacted too. I have suffered from anxiety since elementary school. I was often teased about my skin and questioned about being contagious. Even after explaining what CIU was, the teasing didn't stop. I ended up developing an eating disorder which caused damage to my body.
While CIU is a constant challenge to manage, it has made me a strong and determined 19 year old. I found that speaking up about this little known autoimmune disease, to bring awareness and understanding, can only breed positive results for myself and other CIU patients. To keep a dialogue open between myself and other Canadians managing CIU, I frequently turn to social media groups for support.â

The Presidential Elections are just 11 days away. Don't like Republicans, but you don't like the Democrats either? Are you considering voting for a 3rd party this election - more specifically the Green Party? Here's a very thought-provoking, rational, well-articulated argument for voting Blue over Green this election season. Just food for thought - it offers a clearly defined set of angles that you may not have considered before. Check it out:
Why I'm voting for Obama (and not McKinney)
By Megan K.
If you are considering voting for McKinney (Green Party candidate) AT ALL please take the time to read this.
The 2000 election was the first Presidential election I was eligible to vote in. I voted for Ralph Nader of the Green Party. I was extremely firm in my decision to vote for him, as I was already disenchanted with the two-party system and was heavy into my activist community at the time. On election night (and the days that followed), I watched in horror as George W. Bush stole won the election, with all the politicos saying that Nader, being the 3rd party candidate, was the "spoiler" for Gore...who had been tapped in the polls as the likely winner.
Now, I won't go so far as saying that I promised I'd never vote for a 3rd party candidate again, but I learned some things that year, and when I worked in politics many years later these lessons were repeated and enforced.
The fact of the matter is, America is currently under a two-party system. And I honestly believe it shouldn't be. When we hold elections there should be many names at the top of the ticket for any number of parties. HOWEVER in order for a multi-party system to work we MUST use Instant Runoff Voting instead of plurality voting, which is what we use now. There is no other way we would be able to effectively choose political leaders in a multi-party system.
Secondly, the Green Party is, at its very essence, a grassroots movement. And as a grassroots movement, it needs to be built from the ground up. That is, it needs to gain traction on the local, city and state level before they take on the national political scene, much less the Presidency. To completely ignore your local Green party, or any Green candidate that is running for city council or the school board or mayor or state representative, and then throw your vote to the Green Presidential candidate? Sorry, but I think that's back-asswards and a waste of a vote. If you REALLY believe in the Green Party platform, you have an obligation to go out and get involved in making a strong Green Party in your city or state. (Did you know that the national Green Party is simply a network of state-level Green Parties?) Without doing so you are going against exactly what the Green Party stands for, which is revolution. Don't be an armchair activist, and ESPECIALLY don't be an armchair activist who votes for the Green Party candidate only when it comes to the Presidency. No revolution has ever been accomplished by folks taking the easy way out, and this election will be no different.
Third, if Obama loses, McCain will be President. There is absolutely, positively NO chance of McKinney winning this election. I'm sorry folks, but there's not. (Not until we build a Green Party from the ground up ... see #2). So regardless of the fact that I don't agree with Obama on ALL of the issues, I certainly agree with him more than I do McCain. The United States is about to head into another Great Depression so I want a president who knows economics and has the bipartisan appeal to get things done. Upon reading the Green Party platform you might notice that Economic Stability is last on their list of issues, after "democracy", "social justice", and "ecological sustainability". On the issue of the economy, the Green Party says "We need to restore a progressive tax structure, rather than continuing to move money toward the top echelons of society while squeezing everyone else." Know what? Obama believes that, too. But that alone is not going to fix our economic problems. The Green Party also says "Foremost, the Green Party stands for community-based economics and regional trade. We believe that the only model of true economic security is for a community and area to be largely (not entirely) self-sufficient in the production of its necessities." This theory is GREAT...in theory. But wow, it would be a major change from the current economic system. I mean MAJOR. Could the American economy handle such a violent shake-up of its core values if the Green Party won the Presidency?
Finally, there's the issue of a working government. Do you think if McKinney actually won the Presidency that she would be able to work with Republicans and Democrats (not to mention foreign leaders) to get things done? No, President McKinney would veto pretty much everything that Congress put in front of her and everything would have to pass back through for a 2/3 majority. So really. Think about it. The President does not create policies or laws. That's the job of Congress. And according to most polls, we'll have a Democratic majority in Congress next year. So. Democrats write the laws, the Green Party President rejects them because they go against the Green Party ideals, the bill goes back to the House and Senate for another round of voting. That seems like an awful waste of time when Congress could be passing bills that, even if they are not perfect, are better than what we've had for the last four years (not counting this year) when Republicans controlled Congress. So if there isn't a Green Party majority in Congress, what's the point of having a Green Party President? (Again, we need to work from the ground up. See #2.)
So...in the end...while it would be really great to have a president who agrees with gay marriage and indigenous peoples' rights and environmental sustainability as much as I do, I know that at this pivotal moment in history, after our country and its laws have been raped and pillaged by the republican machine, we need a president who has the bipartisan appeal to get things done. McKinney just doesn't have that appeal. And I know that if Congress tried to pass an amendment to the US constitution saying, once and for all, that marriage is between one man and one woman, Obama would veto it. And honestly? That's enough for me because there really isn't much more that a president can do about the issue of gay marriage.
I know that change will come to America, and that one day gay marriage will be legal everywhere, and the environment will be a priority, and social justice will prevail. But I also know that social change takes time, and it takes effort. Pulling the lever for McKinney is not the solution to the problems that America is currently facing.

... The day Ingrid's father declared bankruptcy was the day her mother decided to move in with the village circus' resident tightrope walker. Being the star attraction of the show (the only other performer was a man whose main act was singing show tunes while dressed up as a seal - it was a pretty dismal circus), the tightrope walker was earning an attractive salary and could give her mother the things her father could no longer give.
The breakup of the family had been hard on everybody, particularly Ingrid's father who woke up one morning to find his wife missing and a note on her pillow that read: "Bye, loser". Ingrid's father soon found himself plunging down a spiral of self-loathing, substance abuse and compulsive lying. And it was precisely this pattern of compulsive lying that has ignited their latest father-daughter row.
"Dad, I don't mean to disrespect you but for god's sake, you have to stop lying!" cried Ingrid.
"It wasn't lying. It was just a small case of embellishment."
"Spinning straw into gold? You might as well have told the King I could teach pigs to fly or dogs to sing or cats to bark!"
"Ingrid, let's not carry on over this," said Ingrid's father wearily. "Besides, the King didn't even look interested in what I was saying. He's probably forgotten all about it by now. Why would he pay attention to the mere words of a poor man in rags when he could be listening to wise words of the wealthy and powerful?"
But little did Ingrid's father know how horribly wrong he was, for at that very moment, the King was precisely that. In fact, he had been unable to think of anything else since he received news of the magical village maiden who could spin straw into pure gold. It was simply the most marvelous thing he'd every heard.
"But then again, is such a thing possible?" the King wondered. Miracles have been known to happen. There was that dead old lady who had suddenly popped back to life moments before they lowered her casket into the ground, scaring the living daylights out of everybody at the funeral and grabbing major headlines all over the kingdom. Anything was possible. Surely this was too?
"But I can't be played for a patsy. I simply must find that girl and have her prove to me that she can indeed do what her father claims," he thought, stroking his beard deviously. "With a girl like that spinning all the straw in my kingdom into gold, I will soon be the richest, more powerful man in the world!" His eyes gleamed with lustful greed ...

Earlier in the year I decided that I had enough of the scratched and curling vinyl in the downstairs hallway. It looks gross and dirty even when you've cleaned it. So we went looking and found something else we liked, and then (there's always an "and then) it turned into doing both the hall and the dining room in Linkwerks Vinyl Plank Flooring. They put it in some of the newly remodeled dorms of the university here in town, and it's supposed to be super durable. It looks like wood, has a grain to it, but care like vinyl. Ok, that works for me. Aside from the color, I'm really not that picky about it.
So here is the dining room before:
What you can't see is the large reddish stain by the door that I still haven't figured out what is...
Blood? Rust? Cranberry juice stain?The mark of the beast?
And here's the After (post installation, pre-cleaning):
The downstairs hall before:
(Yeah, you try and get a picture of a whole hallway floor...)
And after:
It matches the stairs so well, I'm very pleased. Here, I took a REAL picture, too...
Are we done with changes? NO.
The kitchen floor (ceramic tile) has decided that whatever material is underneath is not good enough and has started to crack and shift, including one mouse sized chunk by one door that just floats because it's trapped under the threshold.
The roof and HVAC still need to be rehabbed/replaced. We've repaired the roof already, but it will need to be replaced in the next year or so. And this is the first thing downstairs other than the laundry room that has been touched. We don't really have a plan for those rooms, they're mostly acting as storage now.
One step at a time...

This weekend I found my personal gutenfree heaven. Outside from Vienna and yet absolutely worth visiting it! The restaurant "der Floh" in Langenlebarn (approx. 30 min from Vienna…) is a absolute must visit! It is a nice little trip especially in summertime to escape from the hot city. This restaurant is awarded with two caps of Gault Millau and this is well-deserved. They have reasonable prices for high quality of food. Their philosophy is to use organic ingredients which are in saison and mainly from that region. That's also important for me as a nutrition coach. The dishes were of exceptional taste with widely unknowningredients for example I had "ochsenherzen" carrots planted from farmers of this region with freshly made spinach and pine nuts. But not only the food is special also the waiter who spoke English very well was very attentive. After this perfect meal I can highly recommend to take a walk at the beautiful river Danube which is just across the street for digesting.

My Dearest Baby Boy,
I love you so much. I have learned to live here and now in the present, but there is that piece of me that will always be with you. Christmas is hard. Instead of picking out flowers or a Christmas decoration for your grave, I should be wrapping hot wheels and dump trucks alongside Barbie dolls and Minnie Mouse. I long to see you chasing Audrey with your baby sister and fighting over who gets to sit in Momma's lap. Christmas is so exciting with your sisters, but at the same time, it is incredibly hard without you. I wish there was a grief blueprint to follow, but there isn't. To say it is at times confusing would be an understatement. Sometimes I don't know what I feel, but it feels good to just "feel". I love you. I miss you. I want you here. Merry Christmas Baby boy.
Love, Momma
Thank you to a new dear friend for sharing this video:

|Bass Hole boardwalk
|Osprey nest at Bass Hole
|Beach at Monomoy NWR
|Osprey Pandion haliaetus
|Laughing Gull Leucocephalus atricilla
|'Orange-tailed' Cedar Waxwing Bombycilla cedrorum
|Willet Tringa semipalmata
|American Oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus
|Common Tern Sterna hirundo (Buoys and gu...never mind...)
|Northern Rough-winged Swallow Stelgidopteryx serripennis
|Fish Crow Corvus ossifragus
On an interesting note, I saw a Cedar Waxwing there with an orange tip to its tail, as opposed to the expected yellow. Apparently this happens in the northeastern US as a result of the birds eating an introduced species of honeysuckle berries. Neat-o.
By the time we got to Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge (just south of Chatam, in Cape Cod's southeastern armpit), the fog and wind had fully socked the place in, visibility was low, and most birds were keeping their heads down.
Notable observations included a pair of Eastern Kingbirds on the dunes, several Willets probing for benthic organisms in the fog, four Common Terns dive-bombing for fish (no Roseates, boo-hoo), two Snowy Egrets, a nice close flyby from an American Oystercatcher, and good views, finally, of a vocalizing Fish Crow. Nuh-uh! Nuh-uh!
At the sandy cliffs on the beach, a Northern Rough-winged Swallow got caught out by stiff winds, and it was incredible to watch its repeated aborted landing attempts and circle-rounds in the vicious gusts before a successful landing in its nest hole.
Bass Hole!

The Samba-Bugzilla – Bug 7249
Add an option to use O_NOATIME
Last modified: 2018-03-01 15:41:08 UTC
Some systems (at least Linux since 2.6.8) have the O_NOATIME open flag that avoids altering the atime of files opened for reading. An option to enable this flag is supported would be useful for backup systems based on rsync, as it would avoid interfering with tools that relies on atime (such as new mail detection, whatever may be thought about the correctness of the method) and reduce disc activity on the source filesystem.
We use a patched rsync that always sets O_ATIME with rsnapshot since quite some time and we have not noticed any drawback.
Created attachment 5497 [details]
adds a --noatime option
this looks very useful . i vote for it.
seems there is already an atimes.diff in [rsync-patches.git] which has a similar purpose !?
They have a similar purpose, but they do not work the same way at all.
My patch (comment #2) politely asks the kernel not to update the atime of opened files. It only works if the O_NOATIME flags exists on that particular platform but has no other drawbacks.
AFAIK, the patch on rsync-patches.git explicitly puts back the atime to what it was. It has the drawback of updating the ctime instead.
+1 vote.
Should someone set the review flag to '?' to get Nicolas' patch reviewed? Who?
rsync3.txt in the source tree has this to say about atimes:
"Desirable features:
- Propagate atimes and do not modify them. This is very ugly on
Unix. It might be better to try to add O_NOATIME to kernels, and
call that."
So apparently someone with commit privileges (Martin Pool to be precise) already has decided that such a feature would be desirable (back in 2001). Does this add weight to this request and patch?
Created attachment 9278 [details]
--noatime option for 3.1.0
I rebased Nicholas' patch to 3.1.0, with modifications as described below.
One thing I'm not sure is whether the --noatime flag should automatically be forwarded to the server. In a general backup scenario, the client would wish to preserve atimes, but on the backup server I see no reason to do so. Therefore I made the forwarding part a comment. Users can still explicitely include the --noatime in the list of server arguments if they whish this behaviour on both ends.
I've been using this form on 3.0.9 for quite some time, and would like to see this included officially one day soon. I hope setting it to "review=?" the way I did is the way to go for that.
+1 from here as well.
I understand the arguments about the limited usefulness of the atime field in general, and I agree with much of it, but to me there are more use cases than what's mentioned in what I've read so far - such as providing helpful clues for certain kinds of "forensic" debugging. atime has been around for a very long time (every *NIX variant I've worked on, going back to the 1980's), so even though its utility may be a bit "specialized", there are clearly people who are surprised to see it ignored by a tool like rsync. IMO back-up/replication/sync tools should strive to record or replicate the "originals" as faithfully as possible[*], with minimal impact on the contents or meta-data of files being backed up or replicated.
That is to say, one should ideally be able to use rsync to do things like moving a directory tree to a new place (file system, machine), or copying/sync'ing it to a back-up location, and later restoring the originals, without the user of those files being able to discern any differences in them.
I built rsync with Nicolas George's O_NOATIME patch on the latest Git, and IMO this change brings rsync one step closer to that ideal (on Linux at least). It not only avoids clobbering the atime values for the original files as they're being read during a first copy operation, but also when they're being checksummed (on both sides) if one uses the "-c" option in a later re-sync.
Martin von Gagern: That's the main reason that I think "--noatime" should be sent to the remote side. I agree that in some/many cases, rsync users would not care about atimes being preserved in the copy. For backups, supposing atimes had been copied to the backup machine[*] (perhaps not part of the scenario you had in mind), they would need to be preserved during re-syncs in order to be able to available when sync'd back to the original place during a restore.
One problem with unconditionally sending a new option to the remote side is that if it isn't supported on the remote side, it fails, whereas I would still see benefit (for some use cases) in using O_NOATIME on the local side only in that case. Not sure how easy it would be to handle that situation.
Aside from that, I would really like to see this enhancement be integrated as soon as possible. Since it's an option, and doesn't affect the protocol etc, it doesn't seem as though it would have any negative impact when it isn't being used. Seems like a win-win. :) Could it be integrated before the next release?
[*] Which brings us to the --atime patch -- but that's another topic.
I'm currently using a locally patched version, because I'm using rsync to mirror my whole data daily, plus using a deduplicating backup tool weekly that stores atime (so if rsync sets atime, the metadata are never deduplicated).
It is logical for a backup tool to avoid setting atime, and logical that it is an option for rsync that may or may not be used as a backup tool.
Is there any update on this feature? Is there a plan to merge the patch into master branch of rsync?
Did any of you who uses rsync with noatime patch had problems with running 'make check' command? It seems to me that some of the source files might be compiling in different order than with a simple make since the build ends up with undefined reference to `noatime' in the syscall.c file.

For the last nine years, my heart has been with kids in Eastern Europe, and more specifically those that are left to live (and some to die) in state run orphanages. In these institutions, orphans are taught that their opinions don't matter, that their worth lies in their physical bodies, and that God doesn't care about them. These are not actual classes, but are lessons learned through experiences of getting moved around, abandoned time and time again, selling their bodies for whatever they need or want, and never hearing from anyone representing Jesus. The Lord has guided my heart to love these kids, giving me a passion for changing their lives for good, and blessing me with gifts that I can use to organize and impact their lives for Christ.
God has lead me to the next season of life, where this will remain a passion and a calling.
My New Role - Director for Global Movements
The Lord has faithfully provided another role within His Kingdom, allowing me to continue to serve the fatherless around the world. I am thrilled to announce that I am now the Director for Global Movements with the Christian Alliance for Orphans!
Over the past few years, you may have heard about, or even been directly involved in, an Orphan Sunday event at your local church (the first Sunday of November). The Christian Alliance for Orphans leads this initiative, and I've volunteered as a Georgia State Coordinator for this movement for the past couple of years. My new role is focused on inspiring, encouraging, and enabling indigenous movements of churches and ministries around the world to fulfill the call of James 1:27 to care for the orphans in their own countries. This opportunity will allow me to serve in a globally strategic role.
I Need Your Help!
I write to you today asking that you partner with me to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to orphans around the world. Would you please join Team Hennessey to help provide for my personal support?

Promotion chasers Huddersfield Town closed the gap on the Championship top two to six points with a hard fought win at Brentford.
Rajiv van La Parra's freak goal just before the half-hour mark was the difference between two good footballing sides.
Brentford's defence fell asleep and - when a quickly-taken free-kick found Van La Parra wide on the left - the Dutch winger's fierce cross-shot was punched into the net by Bees goalkeeper Daniel Bentley for a winner that may have the dubious goals panel scratching their heads.
It was no more than Town deserved for a spirited, energetic and technically-impressive performance against Dean Smith's in-form Brentford.
See how Town kept up the pressure on the Championship's top two.
I'm very happy and very proud. It was a massive three points against a very good Brentford team and following a busy spell of games.Huddersfield Town boss, David Wagner

text: Those of you who remember my story we have had a very rough time with difficult child over the years but the past year and a half things have been going very well. She seemed to have her life straightened out, made new friends and gave up the old bad influences. I'm sorry to say that she is fighting with all of her good friends and has made contact with some of the old ones and has made a whole new set of friends....freshmen and sophomores who are just like her when she was a freshman, drinking, using drugs, wild, defiant. One of them was arrested yesterday for dui. My heart is sick. I think a lot of it is to get back at a guy she has been obsessing over for a year now. He is friends with these people and I think she wants to make him jealous. And a lot has to do with her old friends shunning her because she is now hanging with the bad crowd. We know she was on something the other day when she got home, we suspect she snorted adderall again. We put her on notice that the very next time we even suspect she has been drinking or using something she loses her car for good. At that point I'm sure she will leave home. I thought we were past the worst of it but this bad stuff just keeps rearing it's ugly head. I told her I would not go back to freshman year....I have PTST because of it. I begin to shake everythime she doesn't come home when she is suppose to or refuses to tell us where she is. Please send good thoughts that she comes to her senses and realizes what she is throwing away. Nancy

Rapid Insertion Strike Team
Posted by oenophilus on September 10, 2007
I just flew in from Portland, and boy are my arms….No really. I did just get back from a tasting in Lake Oswego (just outside of Portland). Usually we try to schedule our VIP and Wine Club tastings when I can spend a few days in the area promoting Iridesse Wines. This time, because of scheduling conflicts, I was to dash in, pour our wines for a group of potential customers, and dash out the next morning.
What a great opportunity to use the new Horizon Airlines service out of Charles Schultz Sonoma County Airport. Located at the northernmost extremes of Santa Rosa, the airport is less than 15 minutes from our house. Compare that to the heinous drive through the Bay Area mazes and bridge traffic and back-ups to get to Oakland or San Francisco airports in 2-3 hours. No contest. Horizon will get the lion's share of my business!
Even though we got off to a rough start with a major delay (who wants to get on a plane that has mechanical troubles, anyway?), my flight to Seattle was quick and comfortable with a snappy connection for the hop to Portland. I made it with time to spare – my wine that I checked as baggage didn't. Eeeek! The very kind baggage services allayed my fears and it did come on the next flight. Whew!
Genevieve's Stepdad, who lives in the area, graciously picked me up and we rushed into the tasting just a wee bit late. I poured our Albarino, Zin Rose, and Anam Cara blend for a lovely gathering of my new friends that loved them and are sure to become valued customers! I rested my weariness at Genevieve's mom's house in the neighboring town before catching the 10:30 am flight the next day. The return flight was easy and actually got in more than 15 minutes early!
The actual time in Portland? 6:45 pm on Saturday – 9:45 am on Sunday. All for love of the wine. Interested in hosting me for a VIP party at your house? Let me know!


text: thefrench_h: I was not involved but just a witness of a strange situation. It happened a few years ago during a private party, with about 100 or 150 persons there. A nice looking girl was there with her boyfriend, but her recent ex-boyfriend was also there. She had left him a few weeks ago, and he was very angry, and rude with her since these days. Since the beginning of the party, he was staying too close to her, and I noticed that she was becoming very upset.. At a given moment, she started shouting after him, and I think that at least half of the room clearly heard her saying : "Now I am in love with a real man, sex is very good, so please go away with your complaints and with your tiny dick". As expected by her (I think) her ex-BF became white and he quickly left the room, but even the "real man" was hiding himself behind a pillar... I don't know if you have already seen or heard this kind of "public humiliation" but I had some pity for the ex !

New Year Visions
A look back at 2010...
I only managed a disappointing 23 posts. This was due to a combination of my workload at my day job and the deteriorating health of my mother. Work is settling into a more normal routine. We now have my mother situated in a facility that specializes in her condition. I should be in a better position to blog regularly in 2011.
2010 Summary
Novels 6
Short Stories 14
Blogging on other sites...
I have been regularly reviewing comics for the Comic Book Revolution. I have not been keeping track of my postings on CBR but that will be changing.
Stepping into 2011 (or the Times They Are A'Changing)
One of the first changes you will notice here is the style. I plan on making SFT more of a commentary site. My short story reviews will stay as a regular feature. Some novels will be reviewed here. The bulk of my novel reviews will be appearing on another site. I will make an announcement once it is revealed on the other site. I plan on adding updates of my postings on other sites (including Comic Book Revolution). Another new feature will be reviews of television series and movies. At the end of each month (and again at the end of the year) I will publish a summary of my reviews.
Overall, you will be seeing more content appearing on this site. I already have 6 short story reviews I am working on for this site. My first novel review for the mystery site is being finished and sent off this week.
Since science fiction is a field of change, I hope you will join my on this journey.

Happy New Year Jim! I'm excited about your new ideas as I always welcome seeing posts from you and miss reading your reviews when you are gone. I'm sorry about your mother and am glad to read that you have found a place that can hopefully provide her the care that she needs.
Love the image, perfect for entering the new year. It is one of my favorite Whelan images, one that has remained in the forefront of my mind ever since I first saw in on my uncle's bookshelf many, many long years ago.

I hope you do have time to post more reviews, since I enjoy reading them, and our tastes overlap quite a bit.
If you post elsewhere, it would be a help if you let us know when you do as well.
Take care.

Who is a student ambassador?
A student ambassador is part of a group of like-minded students who take part in community service and education courses centered on political engagement. A student ambassador has a vision for social change and development, and a desire to empower people in the United States and across the globe. Student ambassadors aspire to become ethical leaders, policy analysts, political social workers, community advocates, administrators, lobbyists, or better-informed clinicians. Despite the diversity of career paths within the group, a student ambassador recognizes and understands that the next generation of social work requires innovative problem solvers– individuals who "think outside of the box" and create innovative solutions to our profession's most pressing issues.
What does a student ambassador do?
The main role of the student ambassador is to serve as an ambassador for CRISP and the Student Advisory Council on their campus and in Washington, DC. Throughout the year a student ambassador will:
– Participate in monthly CRISP-sponsored professional development workshops and advocacy training exercises
– Engage in twitter chats and/or conference call discussions with social work researchers, leaders, and legislators
– Host at least one interest group meeting on their campus, typically in September – December
– Organize a local community service campaign with congressional offices near their schools
Am I eligible for the 2016-2017 Student Ambassadors Program?
To perform this job successfully, potential candidates must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and ability that will be required for student ambassadors.
– Must be enrolled in 6 or more credit hours per semester and stay enrolled throughout the academic year
– Demonstrated record of leadership and maturity
– Ability to work independently as well as a member of a team and as a group facilitator
– Possess strong interpersonal and organizational skills
– Strong written and oral communication skills
– Reliable and punctual
– Available to work on occasional evenings and weekends
– Must maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher
– Have completed at least 1 semester (preferably two for part-time students) in a CSWE-accredited social work program
– Posses a sincere desire to represent the Council and CRISP
How long does the Student Ambassador Program last?
A student ambassador shall serve for a term of one (1) years unless removed by the Board of Directors or council members. The Ambassador's term shall be the same as that of the academic year, generally from August – May.
How will the 2016-2017 Class of Student Ambassadors be selected?
A committee of 6-7 people will be formed to select the most qualified applicants for interview – one (1) member of the Congressional Social Work Caucus (dependent on availability), three (3) board members, two (2) SAC officers, and one (1) former student ambassador. Interviews will be conducted by phone or through online video chat by two (2) board members.
How many students are accepted into the Student Ambassador Program?
We anticipate accepting forty (40) applicants into the Student Ambassador Program.
Is the Student Ambassadors Program paid?
The Student Ambassador Program – like SAC leadership positions — is unpaid. Accepted students shall receive community service hours in exchange for participation. Each student ambassador will receive a plaque in recognition of their service, and one outstanding ambassador will be named the "Student Ambassador of the Year."
With an already busy schedule that includes classes and field hours, how much time is required of a student ambassador?
The time that is required to be a student ambassador ranges from 4 -20 hours per week depending on the semester, student availability, and involvement. While students can create their own schedules for much of the work, they must be available to participate in workshops and meetings at the scheduled times. Students must also possess the ability to travel to Washington, DC during the Spring semester to participate in our annual Social Work Day on the Hill (typically held in March).

The graduate certificate program is open to all individuals holding a BS degree in computer science, engineering, or a scientific discipline, and who have a minimum of two years of professional experience, or are currently accepted into a graduate degree program at Missouri S&T. The only additional requirement for students entering a graduate certificate program is that they satisfy the prerequisites for any course they take in the program. The certificate program consists of four courses: two are core courses and two are elective courses. In order to receive a Graduate Certificate, the student must have an average graduate cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better in the certificate courses taken. Students admitted to the certificate program will have non-degree graduate status, but will earn graduate credit for the courses they complete. If the four course sequence approved by the graduate advisor is completed with a grade of B or better in each of the courses taken, the student will upon application be admitted to the MS program in computer science as long as they have a BS in computer science, electrical engineering, or computer engineering, and as long as they meet the minimum undergraduate GPA requirements and core computer science course requirements. All computer science certificate courses and up to one non-computer science certificate course taken by the students admitted to the program will count towards their computer science MS degree.
Once admitted to the program, a student will be given three years to complete the program as long as a B average is maintained in the courses taken.

Gainful Employment Program Disclosure
Effective July 1, 2011, the Department of Education requires that all certificate programs must disclose particular Gainful Employment information to current and prospective students. The information that is provided in the disclosure includes the estimated cost of the certificate program as well as on-time graduation and job placement rates for this particular certificate program. The disclosure information is based on data from the 2016-17 school year (defined as the period between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017)
Graduate certificates were designed as a gateway to a master's degree. If a student earns a B or better in each certificate course they may continue for the graduate degree (in the corresponding department), without needing to submit GRE/GMAT scores, or letters of recommendation*. A student does not need to continue on for the graduate degree, however most do. Graduate certificates were designed for working professionals who have real life work experience and may not have time to take the GRE/GMAT. Admission requirements for the graduate certificate program are also more relaxed than the graduate degree. This graduate certificate may act as a gateway to the following master's programs:
Computer Science (MS)
(Applicants must indicate which program they wish to use the certificate as a gateway for when initially applying for the certificate).
*Completion of a graduate certificate program does not automatically guarantee admission into a corresponding graduate degree program. To continue in a master's degree program, you must apply. Click here for details and check with academic department for program specific details and requirements.
All courses are offered through distance education in a short condensed format, typically 5-8 weeks in length, over the internet, via live streaming video; collaborative learning software includes WebEx and Blackboard; classes are archived online for review and easy access.

Paper Towns starts with nine-year-olds Quentin "Q" Jacobsen and Margo Roth Spiegelman discover the corpse of Robert Joyner, a soon to be divorced man who committed suicide in the Jefferson Park.
Nine years later, Quentin and Margo grew apart from each other considering that they are neighbors. One night, Margo shows up in Quentin's window with black paint on her face. She asks Quentin to help her that night with eleven missions to get revenge on the people that have hurt her throughout her high school years. She especially needs Quentin's car and assistance driving. Margo convinces Quentin to take his mother's minivan, sneak out of his home on a school night, and help her seek revenge.
Margo takes Quentin to an adventure filled with fish, vandalizing, spray-paint, breaking into SeaWorld, and waxing a bully's eyebrow while sleeping. After her eleven things are completed, Quentin is glad that he is back to being friends with Margo. The next day, Margo never shows up to school or the next three days. Because Margo had already run away from home, her parents are worry-free since they expect her to come back. Quentin was the last person her parents saw her with when her father found her in Quentin house at night. A private investigator asks some question about where Margo could have run away. He notices a poster of Woody Guthrie taped to her bedroom shades. When her parents left home, Quentin bribes Margo's sister, so they can investigate her room. The poster leads them to a song called "Walt Whitman's Niece." The song leads them to a poem called "Song of Myself," by Walt Whitman. In Margo's room, there is a copy of the poem with highlighted text. One day, Quentin unhinges his door and finds another clue: an address. The next day, Quentin and his friends skip school and drive to the address left by Margo. When they arrive, they find an abandoned mall. Inside Margo left a message painted in the walls that says, "You will go to the paper towns and you will never come back." Quentin believes that this is Margo's way of confirming her suicide while his friends believe it means she was tired of her fake life.
Quentin spends a stretch of time looking for more clues with no success. On the day of his graduation, he looks at the map of New York he found in the abandoned mall. The map has pinholes - one of them in a place called Agloe, New York. He looks up Agloe on the Internet and finds that Agloe is a copyright trap, and that its population rose up from zero to one - until of May twenty-ninth. Quentin, Ben, Lacey, and Radar skip their graduation to drive to New York to find Margo. Since he knows Margo changed the population on the site, they have to arrive at Agloe in less than one day.
When the gang arrives in Agloe, New York, they find Margo living in a barn. Margo is shocked to see them since the clues she left weren't intended to find her. Angry at her reaction, Radar, Lacey, and Ben leave the barn and check into a motel. Quentin learns that his vision of Margo was fake - similar to the one she had been projecting to everyone else she met. Later, Quentin tells Margo that he was mad because she made him waste his time. Margo tells him that he really saved her because he wanted to feel like the superhero saving the girl. He later accepts that it was obvious that he didn't expect Margo to live the image he had of her. They both say that they love each other and they kiss. Later, Margo tells him to come with her to New York but Quentin tells her that he has a life back in Orlando. Margo and Quentin say their last goodbyes and promise each other to keep in contact.

"The Rains of Castamere" is likely the most famous song from George R.R. Martin's A Song of
Ice and Fire series, and now it's going to be included on the official Game of Thrones season 2 soundtrack… as performed by The National. I feel like my buddy Sean T. Collins puts it best: "This is the world we live in now."

COLUMBUS, Neb. – For folks looking to re-stock their bookshelves, the Columbus Library is the place to be this weekend.
The library is hosting their Super Book Sale until Sunday and many turned out on day one to fill-up on cheap books.
"Thursday night is always crazy, I had somebody that came back today that said it got too hot in there with all the bodies, so they had to come back" says Melodee Pedersen, book sale chairman.
All books at the sale are $1 or less, with children's books coming in at just 25 cents. The books being sold are made up of old library books and donations from the public.
"It gives the public some place to give their used books and somebody else gets to benefit from them. So it's a win-win," says Pedersen.
Pedersen hopes they can sell as many as possilbe, so they have room on the shelves for the next sale, come August.
"They'll be more coming in, we know, so we've got to make some space," says Pedersen.
Virtually every genre is offered at the sale, with fiction writing being the most available. Pedersen says to come along this weekend, so you're ready to go next time a big snow storm happens.
"That blizzard that we had a couple weeks ago, that we couldn't really go anywhere, come get some stuff so when that happens you've got something to do," says Pedersen.
The event runs all day Saturday and Sunday afternoon, where you can purchase a bag of books for $2.

Bedford County Public Schools has entered the world of social media.
At the request of the school board last month, Ryan Edwards, spokesman for the school division, has set up Facebook and Twitter accounts for the school system, providing additional ways for the school system to communicate with parents and the community.
Edwards said it's just one more way to keep people informed "about the great happenings going on in our schools."
The Bedford County School Board voted to delay making a decision on whether to close Thaxton Elementary School Thursday. A vote could come by the end of this year, after staff has a chance to craft a plan for where students from that school would be redistricted to attend.
The Bedford County School Board voted to delay making a decision on whether to close Thaxton Elementary School Thursday. A vote could come by the end of this year, after staff has a chance to craft a plan for where students from that school would be be redistricted to attend.
The board, at Thursday's special called meeting held at Bedford Science and Technology Center, did apparently rule out closing Bedford Primary School. The decision now apparently hinges on if, and when, Thaxton Elementary would be closed.
Bedford County students posted significant gains on mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) tests during the 2013-2014 school year.
The new tests were first introduced three years ago and students across the state are making gains, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) reported last week.
Brenda Nelms apparently believed Body Camp Principal Scott Graham hadn't gotten wet enough. So she slipped out of her own chair—where she sat as students passed by pouring cups of water on the school's staff and teachers— filled a blue bucket of her own with ice cold water and poured it over Graham's head.
A public hearing, held last week at Liberty High School's auditorium on the question of whether to close Bedford Primary School or Thaxton Elementary School, was a polite affair. The crowd only filled the front of the auditorium and nearly all the speakers spoke on behalf of Thaxton.
"We understand what a very difficult decision you have ahead of you," commented Sarah Mayhew.
The first time Thaxton Elementary School faced being closed by the Bedford County School Board, Kelly Harmony helped lead the effort to keep that school open.
That volunteer effort worked and no schools that year were closed.
Now Harmony is a member of the school board, but her stance has remained constant; she doesn't want any community schools to be closed.
Bedford County School Board members toured Bedford Primary School and Thaxton Elementary School Thursday evening, accompanied by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Douglas Schuch, Dennis Overstreet, the school division's superintendent of maintenance, a large crowd of citizens and a sheriff's deputy who had an easy evening as the crowed was a calm, polite group.
The goal: Learn more about the schools before deciding which school will be closed next year.
Having received more than 100 recommendations to improve efficiency in the school system, Bedford County Public Schools has already taken steps to work on or complete around 25 percent of those.
And in the upcoming few weeks, one of the most controversial of those recommendations will take center stage.
Jesus is Lord Sports Academy is opening in Bedford in facilities owned by Faith Fellowship Church on West Depot Street.
While it's new to Bedford, Jay Barnhart, who is no relation to the author of this article, has operated the sports academy elsewhere.
"We did it for four years in Washington, D. C.," Barnhart said.
Then, he and his wife moved to Amherst where they ran the sports academy for five years.
Why the moves?
