To The Editor:
I wish to express my frustration and my conclusions after being completely unappreciated by WalMart in Calais, Maine.
They not only discount our entire Canadian bill, but now they have come up with this ludicrous policy of not even accepting Canadian change. Well there's a fine thank you for our business.

Breaded & Fried Zucchini Recipe
We went to the big Farmer's Market nearby last weekend, and bought about 25 pounds of really fresh produce for $15 (which was a wonderful change from the normal grocery store effect of spending $25 on less than 10 pounds of produce that had been sitting on the shelves for weeks!). Anyway, one of the many things of which we got more than we knew what to do with was zucchini. We ate a little fresh, stir-fried a bunch of it, and still had some left over to bread and fry for a potluck.
Crispy without while soft and buttery within, this breaded zucchini with a touch of Italian seasoning makes a wonderful appetizer or side dish. They are delicious either on their own or with salsa or a cream dip. (Here is a great Fire-Roasted Salsa Recipe). This recipe is vegetarian.
Sorry, no after picture for this one; I didn't get a chance to snap a picture at the potluck.
Breaded & Fried Zucchini Recipe
Serves at least five as a side
- 5 small fresh zucchinis
- vegetable oil (high temperature for frying)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour *
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 Tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
- 1 teaspoon crushed, dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed, dried basil
* You can use whole-wheat flour instead for some added nutrition.
Preparation Instructions:
1. First, wash your zucchini and then cut it into coins about a third of an inch thick.
2. Beat the eggs and the milk together in a small, flat-bottomed bowl (that will be easy to dip the zucchini coins into and fully submerge them).
3. Cover a frying pan in about a quarter inch of oil. (Make sure your oil is meant for high temperatures. Something like canola oil or peanut oil is more appropriate. Do not use a low-temperature oil like olive oil.) Start it heating on medium-high heat.
4. While the pan is heating, mix all of the breading ingredients together in a shallow bowl (flour, corn meal, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, red pepper, oregano, and basil).
5. The pan is ready when a small bit of flour thrown in sizzles and bubbles. Dip each zucchini coin in the egg and milk mixture until completely coated, then coat them in the flour mixture and drop them in the pan. Turn them partway through. They are done when both sides are golden brown. Set aside on a plate with some towels to soak up any extra oil.
6. Serve and enjoy! They can be eaten plain, or you can provide salsa or a cream sauce for dipping.
Good recipe. I like to bake instead of frying, try to keep it healthy
We loved the zucchini so I decided to also fry up some summer squash-excellent also. Thanks for the recipe
Delicious! Although I did dip in the flour mixture first then egg and back into the flour for a nice good coating. Mine weren't really coating well and that seemed to help if you like more batter on them. I had to pin this and share the recipe. Thanks!
Raacchheell- google it. Don't be rude just because your lazy.
Wonderful recipe! Looking forward to cooking up some good zucchini
this is stupid because i am british and i don't know what a 'cup' measure is equal to in grams, very impractical.
very good thanks
awesome recipe!!!!
Excellent recipe!!! Phenomenal! It looks like it would be great on green tomatoes, too.
This recipe is good, but I don't think fried zucchini is really our cup of tea. I like the seasoning in the recipe though. And they fried up beautifully.
I've made fried zucchini before but the seasoning on these were great (even without the basil, I was out). Made hush puppies with the left over breading and they were amazing with a little tzatziki.
I have made this recipe twice now and my family and I really love this. My 3 year old keeps asking me for more, so when a 3 year approves you know it has to be good.
This is the best recipe for fried zucchini I have ever found!! amazing!! I have never been able to make zucchini like my Mom made, I have tried many recipes. She was from Birmingham Alabama. This is every bit as good as the zucchini I ate as a kid. Thank you so much for posting this!! Anyone who wants to try this, do it, you won't be dissapointed!!
The recipe looks excellent! I think I will try to rework it for food allergies, and make it gluten free as well!

The mobile app 'Girls Around Me' crosses the line from desperate and creepy to downright invasive and scary. Merging Facebook
and Foursquare information with Google Maps and real-time GPS location data, it elevates the social practice of ladies checking in with their posse to potential stalker level. As reported by The Daily Mail, "It tells you where nearby women are, and allows you to see their full name, photos, and send them messages."
**"As of today, "Girls Around Me" was pulled from Foursquare's API access and Apple's iTunes by the developer.**
Brought to you by the Russian company SMS Services O.o.o., also behind budget tool CoinKeeper and shopping app Grocery Mate, this application--already on the market for several months--was called out on Friday by John Brownlee of Cult of Mac, who describes it as "a wake-up call about Facebook privacy."
I pressed the button … Girls Around Me went into radar mode, and after just a few seconds, the map around us was filled with pictures of girls who were in the neighborhood.
(…) I tapped on Zoe. Girls Around Me quickly loaded up a fullscreen render of her Facebook profile picture. The app then told me where Zoe had last been seen (The Independent) and when (15 minutes ago).
A big green button at the bottom reading "Photos & Messaging" just begged to be tapped, and when I did, I was whisked away to Zoe's Facebook profile.
(…) I now know her full name. I can see at a glance that she's single, that she is 24, that she went to Stoneham High School and Bunker Hill Community College, that she likes to travel, that her favorite book is Gone With The Wind and her favorite musician is Tori Amos, and that she's a liberal.
I can see the names of her family and friends. I can see her birthday.
Do the women know? Nah. "The girls have no idea they're being scanned or that their publicly available Facebook and Foursquare data is being loaded into some dude's phone app, says Violet Blue on Pulp Tech. "The women also don't know that the user sees their photos layered over their current location (if they have checked in recently)." They do not have the ability to opt-in - or opt-out.
What is being marketed as a digital hookup opportunity is to many a violation. Stalker victim Ginger Lee, most famously known for her Twitter relationship with the disgraced former NY Rep. Anthony Weiner, was shocked. "This kind app is what stalkers ask for in their holiday wish lists," she says. "As someone who has been targeted and physically followed by someone on a continual basis, seeing a company selling/making an app that essentially does all the work for them is disturbing. Not everyone will use it in s malicious way, but the potential that it can--and probably will--be used as a tool to potentially aid a stalker makes it not only irresponsible but dangerous to have the app available."
After two days of online outrage, Foursquare shut off 'Girls Around Me' API access. Foursquare spokesperson Laura Covington released a statement: "This is a violation of our API policy, so we've reached out to the developer and shut off their API access." On Hacker News, "We prohibit using our API in any manner that is threatening, invasive of another's privacy, or otherwise inappropriate."
The developer, iFree Innovastions, defended its product this evening, saying it is "unethical to pick a scapegoat to talk about the privacy concerns. We see this wave of negative as a serious misunderstanding of the apps' goals, purpose, abilities and restrictions." That being "geo-social exploration of popular venues easy and visual." This despite the name of the app, "Girls Around Me," and the fact that its promos show women in provocative poses, notes WSJ's Digits blog. Here is a statement, in part:
We are absolutely convinced that it is good and important to educate the users to take care of their privacy and what they share publicly. But we believe it is unethical to pick a scapegoat to talk about the privacy concerns. We see this wave of negative as a serious misunderstanding of the apps' goals, purpose, abilities and restrictions. Girls Around Me does not provide any data that is unavailable to user when he uses his or her social network account, nor does it reveal any data that users did not share with others. The app was intended for facilitating discovering of great public venues nearby. The app was designed to make it easier for a user to step out of door and hang out in the city, find people with common interests and new places to go to.
We have removed the application from the iTunes Store, because the users get repetitive error message, and we feel that until we find a solution and be able to provide full service, we should restrain from acquiring new users. We shall put our best effort to support the apps existing users and address their concerns.
"It's a terrible idea to use this to meet women," writes Violet Blue. "Not simply from an ethical standpoint: no sane girl is going to warm up to a strange man that approaches her knowing way too much about her in the first place."
"People always ask me why I don't use Facebook or Foursquare, and things like this are the reason why," says Ginger Lee. "I only want people to know where I am when I decide to tell them."

Alright today's Artist's Date was to walk into a church I never have been into before. Kinda like church shopping. This church kept coming to me in my dreams and I wanted to investigate to see if it had what I was seeking. What is strange about this church is that it doesn't have a sign so I had no idea what the name of this church was. In I stepped in and I noticed immediately alot of handouts on some on a spiritual retreat to find your purpose which I collected and was very interested in. Then I saw things for a women's meetup which I am also very interested in because I am actively seeking women's spirituality. I didn't know anybody there, but I liked the banners that were inside the church and I found them very eye catching especially the one with the banner above.
The words spoken by the Pastor was intriguing me as he spoke about the arc of the covenant and he talked about getting past the veil and being in the presence of God. So much with what he was saying resonated with me and I strongly felt that I needed to be there. During the music I felt answers to my prayers coming to me and I felt God's presence so strong around me and in me…I cried so hard during the service. I had never experienced such an intense feeling of God's presence around me before. I had been quietly asking myself am I to stay or leave this place. I felt all of a sudden I needed to be there. There was something there for me. I didn't know what that would be. But so many synchronicities kept coming to me and happening. I felt my soul break open and out poured grief and suffering. I kept hearing Creator say to me you don't have to carry this burden alone anymore, give it to me give it all to me. All the pain. All the tears. Everything. I saw in my mind's eye letting the grief of the recent events that had transpire being passed over. I felt so connected it was unbelievable. I thought by leaving my former church I was going to wander lost and not know where to go and then all of a sudden in this church in a short amount of time I felt like I was in the right place at the right time.
After I watch some baptisms I remembered my baptism with cedar and water that my Native American foster mother placed over me saying that Jesus would always be with me when I was 16 years old. I was about to leave this new church when this woman walked past me and I absolutely had to introduce myself to her. I am so glad I did. I hit it off with her instantly and I was feeling such a deep powerful connection. She just opened up to me and revealed some very intimate and intense things about herself to me, things that I desperately needed to her. And I found I might be able to help her too. Love those win win situations. I asked her to lunch and she agreed and she took me to a Mexican restaurant. We shared our passion for Mexican food and the Spanish language, she told me she loved to do artwork and wanted to do artwork with me. She said she loved to paint with watercolors in tubes. We had absolutely so much in common, it was if we were always friends. I had enchiladas and Jarritos Limon soda which she is already reminding me that I need to watch my sugar cause I am diabetic. She decided to pay for my meal. I was truly grateful. Than I asked where else would she like to go? I suggested how about a park? She said sure but she wanted to go back to her home briefly.
I got to see her home. I noticed she loved pink and purple just like I do. I shared how as a little girl I loved pink and as I got older I added purple. It was so much fun to share the same favorite colors. She has this most beautiful painting of the ocean by her father painted on her wall with a purple frame. I noticed these beautiful pink and purple beaded ornaments she had hand made and she said she could share with me how she made it. I also got to meet one of her cats Gideon. I love the story she told me about how her cat appeared at her home from the street and it went away and she said to herself that if she was meant to keep him that he would come back. And came back he did. She even showed me the scripture about Gideon in the Bible and it was very interesting story. I gained a lot of insight from it when I read it and how it applied to my own life.
We ended up getting back in the car and we went to a local park that had by the Fox river. I had only been to this park once before and when I had I just broken up with my fiance in June 2009. I had praying to Creator about letting my ex go and I said a special prayer for a special man and I told the Creator the truth of my heart, but I asked the Creator what Creator's will was on the situation. Then I have come full circle and I was back at this same place about a year later. And I have insight of where I am heading and what I am supposed to do for this special man in my life. I went to the river with my friend and I experienced the immense peace and calm of her presence. I could feel a ton of tension just melting off my left shoulder and I took some video of the river which I later added me playing the Native American flute. I laid down on my back and let the earth absorb my sorrows and grief I looked up the sky and saw the clouds pass by through the branches of the trees and as I laid there with my arms outstretched out I felt something touched the palm of my left hand and I looked over and I saw a clump of seeds that had fallen perfectly and landed in my hand. I felt what a wonderful gift of new life to be planted in my life.

A nuclear waste dump may be part of South Australia's future following the release of Royal Commission findings into further developing the state's role in the nuclear industry.
But opponents say any potential nuclear waste site poses an unacceptable health risk.
Without nominating a site, the commission on Monday said the storage and disposal of used nuclear fuel in South Australia would meet a global need, while an integrated storage and disposal facility would be commercially viable and could be operational by the late 2020s.
Commissioner Kevin Scarce released the tentative findings in Adelaide ahead of a five-week feedback period.
"The Tentative Findings reflect the Commission's current thinking and the evidence behind this," Commissioner Scarce said.
"We have taken the somewhat unusual step of releasing our Tentative Findings to share with the community the evidence gathered into nuclear fuel cycle activities because we want South Australians to be involved in further refining, informing and improving the Commission's report, which will be delivered in May."
The report found a 138,000-tonne storage and disposal facility could generate total revenue of more than $257 billion, with total costs of $145 billion over 120 years, or $5 billion per year over the facility's first 30 years of operation.
A State Wealth Fund taking 15 percent of profits would generate $6 billion a year for 70 years.
"Approximately $445 billion would accumulate before notional waste deliveries are planned to cease" the report said.
After more than 40 years it could raise $2 billion per year and generate approximately 1500 full-time jobs – peaking at between 4000-5000 -- during the 25-year construction process and 600 full time jobs once operational.
The commission reported the facility would need to be supported with construction of a dedicated port facility, airport and rail freight line.
Doctors for the Environment Australia said any participation in nuclear power generation poses unacceptable risks to health.
"The more resources (people, money, time, intellect, ideas) invested in the nuclear fuel cycle, the less capacity is left for South Australia and South Australians to think, act, and commit, to transition from unsustainable to sustainable methods of energy production," they said in a statement.
The commission's report also found it would not be commercially viable to generate electricity from a nuclear power plant in South Australia in the foreseeable future.
"However, Australia's electricity system will require low-carbon generation sources to meet future global emissions reduction targets," the report found.
"Nuclear power may be necessary, along with other low carbon generation technologies. It would be wise to plan now to ensure that nuclear power would be available should it be required."
The Government has said it would require a minimum contract of 15,500 tonnes before it proceeded with establishing a facility, and would it would not take any waste until such a target was met.

In response to my recent post, President Obama expresses optimism: now in super-sized gibberish, my friend, mentor, fellow Scrogue (and Executive Editor at Scholars & Rogues), and all around swell guy, Sam Smith, had this to say:
Come on, Frank. Sometimes we simply misspeak. You're going to let that, in a case where you know the man knows what he's talking about (you think he came from Chicago's south side without knowing a little about guns?) trump the reality of what we know about our society's gun situation? I like my leaders to be articulate, too. I think I proved that from 2000-2008. And I don't want government acting out of ignorance. But, not to put too fine a point on it, there's a difference between making a typo and not knowing how to spell potato. (more…)

warms soul
By Herald Times Editorial Board
It's one of those questions or hidden-camera moments perfect for today's rush of so-called real TV programs that seek to put people in awkward and soul-searching positions, and then lets the world observe as they deal with their decisions and consequences of their actions.
I think we'd all like to say we'd do the right thing, and attempt to find the rightful owner of the found money, but in truth many people would cave to temptation and take the money, some unfortunately with little or no hesitation or regard for the other person.
In today's edition of the Herald Times, we're proud and pleased to publish a front-page story about two young men who after finding more than $800 in cash at their workplace did the right thing and turned over the money to authorities whom have made contact with its rightful owner. This is a great story - the kind that can help to rekindle one's faith in mankind and remind us that all people are inherently good and wish to do good things with their lives if only given the proper guidance and tools to make the proper decisions along life's journey.

We know that the demand for training courses is always high, so we are happy to announce that we are partnering with Environmental Resources Management to provide several bat acoustics training courses in 2017.
The first of these is a 3-day, hands-on bat acoustics and analysis training course. It's taking place from January 9-11, 2017 in Amherst, Massachusetts and immediately precedes the Northeast Bat Working Group meeting in the same location, making it convenient for those who are already planning to attend the meeting.
The course will cover bat echolocation, data management, visual vetting, troubleshooting, and more. Participants will also learn how to use the Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter SM4BAT, Echo Meter Touch, and Kaleidoscope Pro software.

As Stop the Cap! reports, Netflix is now enforcing something that has long been part of their Terms of Service agreement:
Some membership plans allow you to watch simultaneously on more than one personal computer or Netflix ready device at the same time. If you are on the 1 disc out at-a-time plan [or stream-only plan], you may watch only one device at a time. If you are on the 2 discs out at-a-time plan, you may watch on up to two devices at the same time. Members on the 3 disc plan can watch on up to three devices. The maximum is four devices simultaneously, and that is available for members on the 4 or greater discs out at-a-time plans.
Over the weekend, Netflix customers began to see error messages when they tried to stream to multiple devices simultaneously.
In order to stream two movies at a time, you would have to pay for at least the 2 DVDs-at-a-time package at just under $20 per month. With more devices like smartphones and video game consoles also gaining the ability to stream Netflix, this also likely to increase in collisions. I know some people have been exploiting the fact that this has previously gone unenforced and shared an account amongst friends or family members but that may soon be coming to an end as two $7.99/month streaming-only accounts would be cheaper for customers and better for Netflix.
I have tested this out before and had no problem streaming videos to my PC, PS3, and Wii at the same time. If Netflix started enforcing this with the September 1st price hike, it was another strike that was probably overlooked by many customers that decided to remain with Netflix but downgrade to a cheaper, streaming-only plan.
Between the price increase (for same amount of service), losing negotiations with Starz content (which will take effect in February), and now this, where's the bottom for Netflix?

BREAKING: Trump to Meet in Mexico With the Country's President!
Looks like Donald Trump will be heading to Mexico on Wednesday! He announced his decision to visit with the Mexican President on Twitter on Tuesday prior to his rally in Everett, Washington where thousands were in attendance. The timing of the visit with President Enrique Pena Nieto will happen prior to his scheduled speech on immigration in Arizona on Wednesday. Trump has said in his past campaigns that he will build a wall on the border and get Mexico to pay for it. Talk about a doozy of the "Art of a Deal".
Donald Trump plans to jet to Mexico City on Wednesday for a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, the Republican presidential candidate said via Twitter late Tuesday. The meeting will come just hours before he delivers a high-stakes speech in Arizona to clarify his views on immigration policy, according to people in the United States and Mexico familiar with the discussions.
Peña Nieto last Friday invited both Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to visit Mexico, his office said in a statement provided to The Washington Post on Tuesday night.
Trump, sensing an opportunity, decided over the weekend to accept the invitation and push for a visit this week, according to the people in the United States and Mexico familiar with the discussions.
Late Tuesday, Trump and the Mexican president confirmed on Twitter that they will meet Wednesday.
"I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow," Trump wrote Tuesday night. Shortly after, Peña Nieto's office wrote that "El Señor" Donald Trump has accepted the invitation and will meet Wednesday privately with Peña Nieto.
Peña Nieto later tweeted that he believes in dialogue in order to "promote the interests of Mexico in the world and, principally, to protect Mexicans wherever they are."
The visit comes after Trump has wavered for weeks on whether he will continue to hold his hard-line positions on the central and incendiary issue of his campaign, in particular his call to deport an estimated 11 million immigrants who are living in the United States illegally.
To the delight of his U.S. rally crowds, Trump has repeatedly promised to force Mexico to pay for his proposed border wall. Peña Nieto and other Mexican leaders have dismissed the idea as preposterous.
Trump's newly installed campaign chief executive, Stephen K. Bannon, played a key role in devising the Wednesday stop while Trump met Sunday with his aides and family at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J..
Trump takes immigration and border security very seriously, as Obama and Hillary just continue to destroy our country with the influx of millions of illegals without the proper vetting. Illegal immigration is destroying our economy, our healthcare, our foreign policy and our constitution.
Of course, Clinton or Soros will probably have a group of paid protesters nearby that will get all the liberal media's attention instead of the press focusing on the real issue of illegal immigration, crime and our national security. Hillary doesn't support closed borders because let's face it she's counting on all the illegals to vote for her in the November elections, since she won't have the majority of the votes legally. As long as Democrats are in charge, America will continue to have this influx of illegal immigrants – that's how they will keep the majority of the vote in the future, keep getting elected and keep giving away "free stuff". It's called "stuffing the ballot box".

Ha ha ha ha! Best news I've heard all week:
TSA employees working without pay during shutdown
Then again, this fawning, simpering article (well, it's Fox, so what do you expect?) goes on to laud the brave crusaders in blue who are "the first line of defense on the ground and in the air at our nation's airports."
What a fucking joke.
So the predators and pedophiles have to work without pay. Aw, gee, my heart is bleeding.
One thing's for sure -- their lack of pay is going to make them even more surly, even more abusive.
Because that's the only way the United Sheeple of America will wake up. Those of us who've been ringing alarm bells about this agency for years have had to put up with the derision, ridicule, and ignorance of the millions of clueless who think it's just fine that their government bullies, harasses, robs, paws, and gropes them and their children. The only way they'll get it through their thick heads what's at stake is by getting abused themselves.

When I do workshops on women's fiction, I always discuss the kinds of books that make up the genre, and different trends. Something we see a LOT of in WF is books featuring sisters, so for a recent "Core Collection" feature in the March 1, 2016 issue of Booklist, I shared some great reading suggestions from authors such as Angela Benson, Jennifer Weiner, Kristin Hannah, Jen Lancaster, and more!
What are some of your favorite WF books featuring sisters?
Core Collection: Sisters in Women's Fiction.
Humorist Linda Sunshine is quoted as saying, "If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child." What is it about the relationship between sisters that makes such rich fodder for women's fiction? After all, a reader doesn't have to have a sister in order to relate.
One of the main things that draw readers to women's fiction is a sense of recognition or the ability to relate to the characters. It's pleasurable and comforting to escape into a story that you connect with on a certain level. So perhaps the popularity of fiction featuring sisters has something to do with readers being able to see themselves in one sister or another. Below is a list of must-have women's-fiction titles featuring sisters, perfect for just about any women's-fiction fan...
To read more and get the annotated list, head to the feature, "Core Collection: Sisters in Women's Fiction" on Booklist Online!

Summer fruits are precisely what the name suggests; should really be eaten by seasonality and only in the summer. However, strawberry ice cream, the expensive or the cheapie variety can be enjoyed all year round and Tsumori Chisato seems to feel the same way. Where most collections have gone decidedly sophisticated for next winter, Chisato has stuck to what she knows and taken her signature quirkly girliness to a new level. Whereas prints still feature quite a bit in the collection, it's the wearable marshmallow pieces that have caught my eye, especially through these images by Sonny Vandevelde. Quilting, satin, flowers, tiers, ruffles are precisely all a bit too much yet it's still appreciated by the 'more is more' sensibility that I've always held. Especially when the season is looking like I will be drowned in sharp tailoring, deep colours and subtle detailing, all of which are nice things but I'm also partial to these exceptions to the catwalk trend rules.
Afterall, if I'm eating strawberry ice cream in the summer, doesn't mean I'm not going to stop eating it in the winter with a nice bit of rhubarb crumble. Oh god…this euphemism for wearing girly pale ice cream colours in the winter is all getting a bit crap isn't it…?
Yadda yadda yadda…bottom line is that I'm definitely making it my mission to trek it back to Hong Kong sometime this year to pay the Tsumori Chisato store a much-needed, heavily-delayed visit.

Apparently, The Last Exorcism sequel has ditched the Beginning of the End subtitle and will now be simply suffixed with a plain Part II.
I expect a trailer for the film is imminent as the first poster has just been released – and, even more tellingly, if you use the tweet button on the official site, your auto-tweet mentions a trailer in it. Midnight tonight PST? Doesn't seem impossible.
Here's the poster, courtesy of Yahoo.
That's right – they've taken the body-bending of the first film and made a 2 design from it. I think it's supposed to be funny and creepy at once.
I'm curious about this sequel. I still feel pretty passionately about the first film. I'm sure I'll have a lot more to say once I've seen the trailer.

One of the bulker's crewmembers was killed, the other two were taken to local hospital with injuries.
TTM Dragon is 2010-built bulk carrier, owned by Panama-registered Ocean Dragon Maritime and managed by the Taiwanese company Ta Tong Marine.

Microsoft Exchange 2000, the upcoming version of Exchange Server for Windows 2000, provides many new features including integration with Active Directory, Web Storage System events and forms, and a new version of Collaboration Data Objects (CDO). Exchange 2000 also provides a workflow engine and design tool to create workflow applications. This article will give you an overview of these new features and looks at ways to do a few standard tasks with the new version of CDO. Also included is a sample workflow application that manages the posting of messages to a public server to illustrate the new workflow engine and workflow design tool.

In SharePoint 2010, I'm starting workflow #2 programatically from my workflow #1. See code below:
SPList currentList = web.Lists[new Guid(ListId)];
SPListItem currentListItem = currentList.GetItemById(ListItem);
//resolve any lookup parameters
string workflowId = base.ProcessStringField(WorkflowIdentifier);
//find workflow association by name
SPWorkflowAssociation workflowAssoc = currentList.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName(workflowId, Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture);
if (workflowAssoc != null)
//start the workflow
SPWorkflow workflow = site.WorkflowManager.StartWorkflow(currentListItem, workflowAssoc, workflowAssoc.AssociationData, SPWorkflowRunOptions.Synchronous);
And workflow #2 will hang with Starting status (1-10 minutes), Then the workflow #2 status would be modified to Completed.
I couldn't find how to start the workflow # 2 immediately and complete immediately without several minutes delay
I have a serial approval workflow created out of the box. The setting cancell this workflow when the document is rejected is selected. But if one of the approvers rejects it the workflow keeps running. After this is it will give acces denied errors for the
other approvers.
So for example what is happening. The workflow is started and sends a email to persone 1. This persone approves so the workflow sends a email to persone 2. Persone 2 decided to reject the document. Now i want the workflow to be cancelled, but it
keep running and sends a email to persone 3 for approval. If persone 3 opens the workflow he get's a acces denied error, i guess because of the reject.
Anyone has a idea what is happening here?

I know it has been a long time. It actually feels like ages since I have been able to play in my craft room but finally this weekend I was able to - yeah for long weekends.
For this set I pulled out a stamp set I hadn't used yet - Growing Green. As the creative juices were a little slow to get started I went with something simple.
I started with a base card of Whisper White cardstock and used Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, and Rose Red cardstock. I clear embossed the image onto the coloured cardstock. On the Wild Wasabi and Rose Red cardstock I also used the masking technique. I then went around the outside of the image with the Versamark pen to add some more definition.
I used a strip of Crumb Cake and Whisper White to add the sentiment using the Curly Cute Stamp Set. I used my bone folder to add some curl and only adhered one end to the card.
I have a couple more things to share so will be back soon.

Louis Bonaparte, nephew of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte,
founded the Second Empire in France in 1852.
The restored empire was never quite as successful as its
predecessor, however, and by 1870 Louis Bonaparte had fallen for
Otto von Bismark's bait and had declared war on Prussia.
Unfortunately for the French, while they were still living off
the glory of victories gained over half a century before, Prussia
had built itself the most modern and powerful army in Europe.
Louis Bonaparte was soundly defeated in the Franco-Prussian War.
Paris was occupied and von Bismarck declared the establishment of
Imperial Germany in the Versailles Palace. Moreover, the Paris
Commune was formed in the aftermath of the humiliating defeat and
the declaration of the Third Republic quickly followed.
The Paris Commune was quickly crushed and the republic was about
to be turned into a kingdom again, in line with the wishes of the
majority of deputies.
A compromise was required, so two opposing groups of
pro-monarchy deputies first endorsed a constitution (in 1871) and
then elected Adolphe Thiers, the defeater of the Paris Commune, to
become the president of the republic.
Two years later, General Mac Mahon became the new president of
France. The re-establishment of the kingdom, however, was always
pushed to the background. In fact, pro-monarchy groups even agreed
on the identity of the next king, Henri Dieudonné, the Count of
When this gentleman refuted the blue-white-red flag of
revolutionaries as the flag of French Kingdom, his kingship came to
nothing. From then on, the assembly extended the duration of Mac
Mahon's term of office to seven years, in order to gain sufficient
time for the spoilsport count to pass away so that they could
eventually find another adequate candidate.
The system, however, settled down in the meantime; there was no
return to kingdom and the seven year formula lasted exactly 127
years. In fact the system proved so enduring that the Turkish
Republic copied it.
While Turkey continues to use it today, former French President
Jacques Chirac reduced it to five plus five years in 2000.

We are looking at ways to keep this meme below from happening again. One of the biggest issues for both teachers and learners is the potential for a lack of balance in participation within a group. Moreover, group work can be noisy and confusing for some teachers and learners, and yet has developed the deserved reputation for being research-based practice. We want all learners engaged during group work; the ideas that follow are based on our personal experience and training.
As far as the learners who are uncomfortable and unwilling to participate we always allow for that option, but those learners are held to the same standards and expectations as the groups and have the same target and content dates. Since the participants receive both an individual grade and a group grade, those who insist on doing all the work on their own are also held accountable to the rubric given at the beginning of the project, and receive two grades – albeit the same ones.
We have learned some easy and practical ways to keep learners actively engaged during group work. These are presented in random order; they are of equal use.
· Keeping ways to call on learners in a random form can be done with one of many randomizers, but we prefer the use of popsicle sticks. These are inexpensive, require no tech, are readily available and can be stored in any sort of container you prefer. Each learner's name is on one stick and they can be completely random each time, or you can go through a class and then refill the holder with the previous names.
· Almost all learners now have cell phones and will do their best to use them in class, so why not have a use for them that fits within your lessons. We advocate the use of Google Drive, which can be accessed through their phones. The groups can send drafts of their work to their team members and teacher, with each learner having a unique color during composing and editing. It allows the teacher a quick and easy way to know who is doing what, and who isn't doing anything. The learners "choose" to share their documents with each other as part of the drive functions. This helps to hold all accountable.
· The teacher creates the groups and there is no changing from the assigned group. It is essential that the teacher maintain control over this part of the process.
· All work is time limited – work in class, due dates for stages of the project and final due date.
· Present a syllabus with clear dates at the beginning of the project, along with the rubric(s) through which the grades will be generated. The syllabus and rubrics need to be reviewed at the beginning of the process so that all are aware of the requirements and the time frame within which they function.
· There can be rubrics for self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment. Our preference is for all three sources of assessment being counted.
· All prep work is done by the teacher outside of class be it at home or in the classroom in non-class time. Asking learners to spend time in class cutting and pasting is a waste and inappropriate.
· The time table includes regular monitoring and interaction with steps due at specific times, if only for the teacher to check if they are done. For example: topics and a list of potential resources/references, research notes/index cards, outline, rough draft, non-written parts of the project, final draft, revisions. Each step has its own due date and may be graded or checked off, depending on your preference.
· Groups are limited to four participants. Three tends to lead to conflict and more than four tends to be unwieldy. Of course, given the size of your class and how many choose to not participate, will have an effect on this. Never form a group with all "A" level learners. Make groups as balanced as possible.
· Whenever possible have an example of a well-done finished product and a non-example – a poor, non-passing one. You may be able to get some of these from the internet if this is first time you've assigned this content.
We know that the time for end-of-semester assignments is coming up and hope this review of what has worked for use gives you ideas to make yours run more smoothly.
We just found out that our presentation for the annual CABE conference in the Spring of 2015 in San Diego, "Reduce Student Paperwork Load With 5 Free Awesome Tech Tools", has been accepted and we hope to see you there.

Dark Magic (闇魔法 Yami Mahō lit. Darkness Magic) is one of the three types of Magic, along with Light Magic and Anima Magic, in the Fire Emblem series. Powerful yet inaccurate, it is also one of the rarest classes of magic in the series. It can be seen as the magical equivalent to the Axe.
Dark Magic is sometimes referred to as "elder magic". These practitioners prefer to call it '"elder magic", because they believe the word "dark" suggests that it is evil. These users like to remind the world that it is the wielder, not the magic itself, that is typically the source of evil. In fact, In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Knoll points out that dark magic's power comes from knowledge, not the desire to harm others. On the other hand, in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, it is stated by Canas that Dark Magic comes from darkness and that one must invite the darkness into oneself to use it; he also states that one must not allow the darkness full control. The hero Bramimond, however, allowed darkness full control over himself to obtain the power of The Revealing Darkness, Apocalypse, which erased his personality, instead mirroring others speaking to him. Canas also has three brothers who met a similar fate. While Dark Magic as a whole is not evil, some specific tomes do have negative effects; for instance, in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, the dark magic tome of Loptyr is pure evil, as it transfers the will of its namesake to overcome and control its wielder.
Playable Dark Magic users are often very rare in the Fire Emblem series. It was not until Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 that the first playable Dark Magic user, Salem was introduced. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Canas is the only dedicated Dark Magic user, and appears in a side-chapter, Athos is also able to use Dark Magic, as well as every other kind. Another example is in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Both playable Dark Magic users, Pelleas and Lehran, can only be unlocked after the game has been completed once, even then, Lehran has additional conditions that must be met before he is recruited (and even then he is only available for the last chapter and must be given a Dark Tome).
There are also fewer Dark Magic Tomes compared to Light and Anima Magic, though most Dark Magic Tomes have very unique and tactical uses. Flux, for instance, is the basic Dark Tome, while Luna deals direct damage regardless of the defender's Resistance, as well as having a high critical rate. Nosferatu leeches enemy Hit Points. The tome Eclipse, depending on the game's variation, can either cut enemy Hit Points in half, or reduce enemy Hit Points to 1; in both cases, the spell negates the defender's Resistance.
Dark Magic is generally the most powerful magic available. Dark Magic typically deals the most damage, but is the least accurate. In addition, Dark Magic tomes are often the heaviest to wield, making it extremely difficult for Dark Magic users, especially those with a low Constitution, to execute consecutive hits against enemies. However, these are usually not insurmountable weaknesses, as Dark Magic users generally have high enough accuracy to hit consistently.
In most Fire Emblem games, the classes that use Dark Magic are specialized. Shaman and Druids, their promotion are the only classes to use it in the GBA games. In other games, those roles are often replaced by the Dark Mage and Sorcerer classes. A few other classes can use Dark magic, most of these are character specific. The Necromancer class is unique to Lyon, and the Dark Druid and Archsage classes from The Blazing Blade are unique to the characters Nergal and Athos, respectively. In The Sacred Stones, a new Dark Magic Class was introduced, Summoner. Summoners could use Dark Magic, Staves, and have the ability to summon Phantoms. The class is unique to The Sacred Stones, although one non-playable Summoner, Izuka, appears in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn as a third-tier unit, who instead summons Feral Ones.
The Sacred StonesEdit
In The Sacred Stones, certain monster attacks are considered Dark Magic attacks, such as Evil Eye, Demon Surge, and Crimson Eye, making Light Magic Users very useful.
Path of Radiance & Radiant DawnEdit
Dark Magic is notably absent from Path of Radiance. This is mostly attributed to the reintroduction of the 'Anima' Magic Triangle with Wind, Fire, and Thunder magic, last appearing in Genealogy of the Holy War. With all the new spells created, Dark Magic was omitted, as to not overwhelm the player. Meanwhile, Light Magic took up a position outside of the Anima triangle, much like Bows for the weapon triangle.
Dark Magic was reintroduced in Radiant Dawn. It is particularly useful, as the 'original' Magic Triangle was reintroduced alongside the Anima Magic Triangle, meaning Dark magic trumps all Anima Magic, but is weak against Light Magic.
There are only 9 Dark magic users in Radiant Dawn, including enemies and allies. It is seemingly implied that Dark Magic users are likely to be Spirit Charmers, as Dark Magic is "too difficult for most mages", which explains their rareness.

Remember me? Sorry I didn't blog as much last week. I was week two-ed! For those who are following NaNoWriMo, you know week two is the time people feel like dropping out of the world. Well, I contemplated it for a minute around last Monday when I stood in front of my laptop for hours without a word coming out of my fingers. Yes, it was that bad. But by 11pm that night, I told myself just to write a little bit and guess what? I wrote 1,600 words!
For those who are joining NaNoWriMo, you know this is the month to ignore your loved ones. Yes, it is a bit cruel but I have been ignoring Belly and he doesn't like it any bit. Belly is a strange kitty: the more I play with him, the more he ignore me. If I try to hold him too much, he will give me one of those, "oh please, you're smothering me!" look. But now that I am ignoring him, he is clinging toward me. I cannot even talk to my neighbor without him meowing at me. I guess reverse psychology works on cats. If you noticed the same thing with your cat, please let me know.
So yes, my life has been eaten by NaNoWriMo. I write to the point that nothing sounds coherent anymore before stopping. So far, I've reached almost 5,000 words per day in only one day. In other days, I write at least the day mean (1,666 words.) Some days, I can write a lot. Other days, I can sit in front of the computer and nothing would come out. But the important thing is I've been writing everyday now, except for one day when my hands really hurt. That is not so bad, considering I am closer to 30,000 words now.
Before I go, let me share two neat trick to those of you who are doing NaNoWriMo:
1. Install a timer on your computer:
This is a trick I learned when I wrote my thesis. Writing is like running: you can run so fast for so long before you're out of breath. The trick is to find the shortest time span that you can write the most without feeling like conking out. To me, I find I write my best in 25-minute period. Then, I would take a short break, check my emails, and continue writing. Now, I can comfortably write 45 minutes at a time but when time gets tough, I still set up 25 minutes on Instant Boss and write. I'm always surprised at how much I can write in such a short period of time.
Now, writing in a short period is different from doing sprints or using Write or Die. While the other two are sure fire ways to boost your word counts, you may end up with a story you don't want to read. Back in 2008, I discovered Write or Die and crossed the finish line victoriously. However, that story became moot the moment I started it. The need for speed does not worth it if you want your story to be as coherent and readable as possible.
2. Set goals and bribe yourself:
After crossing the 20,000 word landmark victoriously on Wednesday, I went to watch "RED" with two of my friends on Thursday. Why did I do it? Because I enticed myself by setting a goal (20,000 words) and a reward (watch RED.) It worked gloriously. I ended up not only crossing 20,000 words but also finished my first novel. Yes, I did it! The first (or zeroth) draft of that one is over. At least I'm not going to worry about it for now. I'm writing something else, which at this point sounds like a young adult story. Why it turns out this way is still a mystery to me.
That's all for now. For those who are not joining NaNoWriMo, I want to thank you for still staying with me and endure my incoherent rant/show-off post. Of course, I would like to cross the victory line of 50,000 words by the end of week three. I haven't figured what I am going to do once I crossed the line but I am sure I will be dead tired to enjoy it (ha!)
In the mean time, I continue to ignore the home kitty. He sure doesn't enjoy it and so far, he succeeded in recruiting BiBi the teddy bear to give me stank eyes. Imagine me receiving stank eyes from both the cat and the bear. I'm scared!

Bringing Movies Back to TucsonPosted in Pop Culture and Entertainment with tags Cowboys, John Wayne, Movies, Old Tucson, Radio, Robert Shelton, Tucson, Videos, Westerns on July 26, 2010 by raingeg
I had the pleasure Saturday to meet Robert Shelton, no not the former President of the University of Arizona, the man that ran Old Tucson back when it was a thriving movie set. I can't emphasize the word "was" enough. Old Tucson is only a shade of what it once was, after a devastating fire and a change in ownership, its never been the same.
This is from Old Tucson's website about Shelton:
In 1959, Midwest entrepreneur Robert Shelton saw more than an antiquated movie set when he set eyes on Old Tucson Studios. He saw potential for expanding it from the ghost town it had become into a viable movie studio and family attraction. Shelton leased the property from Pima County and began to restore the forgotten town. Old Tucson Studios re-opened in 1960, as a film studio and a family fun park as well.
The park continued to grow, literally building by building, with each movie filmed on its dusty streets. Western film legend John Wayne, who soon became friends with studio owner Shelton, starred in four movies at Old Tucson Studios and each production added buildings to the town. Rio Bravo (1959) added a saloon, bank building and doctor's office; from MCLINTOCK! (1963) came the McLintock Hotel; El Dorado (1967) left Old Tucson Studios with a facelift on Front Street; and from Rio Lobo (1970) came a cantina, a granite lined creek, a jail and Phillip's ranch house.
The stampede of movie productions during those early years include, The Deadly Companions (1961), starring Brian Keith and Maureen O'Hara; Lilies of the Field (1962) starring Sidney Poitier ; Have Gun Will Travel (1962); The Outrage (1964) and Hombre (1966) with Paul Newman; and episodes of Bonanza (1966, '71, '72); Death Valley Days (1966-69); and High Chaparral (1966-'71).
Old Tucson Studios became the premier, privately owned, western film location. In 1968, a 13,000 square foot soundstage was built to give Old Tucson Studios complete movie-making versatility. The first film to use the soundstage was Young Billy Young (1968), starring Robert Mitchum and Angie Dickenson. That same year, Shelton also purchased the Mescal property, Old Tucson's second filming location just 40 miles southeast of Tucson.
Tucson is really hurting for business, mostly because our city is run by people that either really don't like Tucson and are trying to drive it into the ground (that's a joke) or they are so tied to their leftist agenda that they are doing more harm than good.
There is a Senate Bill that we should all throw our support around.
Arizona Public Media reports back in April:
Senate Bill 1409 would extend a tax credit to movie productions companies that come to work in Arizona. The current tax credit expires at the end of this fiscal year, and SB 1409 would not only extend the credit but it would also increase it to as much as 30% if certain criteria are met dealing with the amount of money spent in the state and the number of Arizona residents hired for the production. Backers of the bill say it is needed to keep movie companies shooting in Arizona. They point to the 2007 version of 3:10 to Yuma, none of which was filmed in Arizona. Opponents, however, say the tax credit is too much and movie companies make enough money they don't need the financial help.
On April 5, 2010 the full Senate failed the proposal on an 11-16 vote.
This would bring a lot of business to Arizona and hopefully turn Tucsn, not just Old Tucson, into a place where Hollywood can once again film some movies. With its natural light, great weather and short distance to California, Tucson is a great place for filming movies.
From what I can tell SB 1409 died in the Arizona House, I don't know for sure. I've sent out an email in hopes of getting an answer to that question.

Koukl on Wealth and Capitalism: Is it greedy?Posted in Economy, Humanity, Religion with tags Apologetics, Capitalism, Christianity, Money on July 14, 2010 by raingeg
Here's a couple of older posts I found on Greg Koukl's website Stand to Reason blog. It seems that there are a lot of Christians, particularly my younger peers, that want to buy the left's ideas (fibs) about Capitalism and greed. I hope this helps you out a little.
Greg Koukl, STR, Wealth and the Bible:
I attended a lecture on "Wealth and Poverty in Scripture," given by Dr. Jonathan Witt, in which he contrasted two polar opposite theologies–Prosperity Gospel teachings (God wants you to have a concentration of wealth) and Liberation Theology (God wants us to redistribute concentrations of wealth)–and then discussed some passages in the Bible often used to argue for or against private property and wealth.
Since I can cover only a small part of this in a single blog post, I'll boil down the lecture and my response to it to two important points:
Greg Koukl, STR, Are You a Greedy Capitalist?
I'm at the Acton Institute and I'm thinking about greed. Greed is the essence of capitalism, right? Michael Douglas captured this sentiment as corporate villain, Gordon Gekko, in the 1987 movie Wall Street.
"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed – for lack of a better word – is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms – greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge – has marked the upward surge of mankind."
Filmmaker Michael Moore echoes this attitude in his movie Capitalism: A Love Story, calling the free market system "legalized greed." Well, if Hollywood is correct, then a free market economy isn't an option for the Christian. Jesus is clear on the matter: ""Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Greed is immoral. But is capitalism based on greed? No, and if you think so, you've bought into the myth.
I first heard Greg on Hugh Hewitt's show and he did a good job defending the faith, I hope you enjoy his ideas.
Christian Music and John Mark McMillan's "The Medicine"Posted in Life, Music with tags Christianity, John Mark McMillan, Music on July 10, 2010 by raingeg
So I've just put a pot of water on to make some Saturday night pasta, in the mean time I've decided to write an album review. I suppose I should tell you the brief story that led me to this particular piece of music. Let me preface it by saying that I consider it a treat to actually review an album. It could be laziness, or just the fact that I'm not very enamored by new music, but I find myself buying about two new releases a year. It used to be that I was always looking for new bands on the horizon and looking out for new albums. Over the past few years my interest in new music has dwindled, and I'm much more content listening to an old record than a new artist.
It's very rare that I am pleasantly surprised when it comes to listening to something that I've never heard before. I remember it happening some years ago now, when I listened to Wilco's A Ghost is Born. I was in my best friends car one night, he had the album on and it hit like a ton of bricks, which is funny considering how light that albums sound is. Funny thing was, I couldn't tell you what song it was that I listened to, I can just tell you that it hit me and I liked it. And it eventually lead me to really enjoy nearly all of Wilco's music.
I remember waking up about a week ago, logging on to my FaceBook and just for the heck of it watching a video that my friend posted with the hash tag #musicthatdoesntsuck, so I guess that means it had to be good. This particular morning, like many mornings these days, I was stressed out, both mentally and physically. As many probably are, with the way things are politically, with the economy, and on top of all that just the everyday stress that comes with living. So, on this particularly stressful morning I clicked on the YouTube link my friend posted on his page. What to my wondrous eyes did appear, but a video and a song by John Mark McMillan. I happily watched as I ate my bagel before work.
I'd never heard of John Mark McMillan before, but I liked what I heard. The song playing was called "Skeleton Bones" and it seemed to hit me exactly the way the Wilco album did many years ago.
Christian music is not supposed to sound like this, its pretty good! Though I knew immediately that it was Christian music, which is something I liked. It was Christian music that didn't wreak of the usual mundane stuff we hear pumped out in a fashion similar to that of the popular music of the secular industry. You know, the type of music that's been run through one too many focus groups. Now my day was off to a good start and I felt much better.
Less than a week later I bought The Medicine. I didn't know that McMillan had penned the popular Christian song "How He Loves" I just knew that he could write. It was evident in his lyrics, even One minute in to the first song of his that I'd ever heard. Also apparent was the fact that he was able to muster the courage to not sound like everyone else, something I admired.
For the last week I've been listening to the album as I drove around town. I listened to it straight through once and a few more times on shuffle, needless to say I liked it.
Modern Christian music, it seems, is supposed to have a certain sound, an almost corny sound that I can't quite put my finger on. Its almost like there are a set of words and phrases that are to be repeated and any divergence from that path is to be regarded as wrong. Like using the mouths and minds that God has given us to create vivid imagery in our hearts and minds is to be avoided, so that even the basest mind can get the message. Though I've always understood The Gospel to be a simple message, one that is fit for the peasants and the kings, a message that does not need any dumming down. The addition of a metaphor that aptly attempts to put into words the wonder that is God is better than nothing at all. And a song that tugs on a joyful thought and applies it to Christ's message is good. On the other end of the spectrum you have bands and artists that constantly force you question whether or not they are actually a Christians, a task that gets a bit too arduous. These artists are the byproduct of the Contemporary Christian music industry.
The Medicine does not fit either mold. I don't want you all to think that I'm just writing this to bash on Contemporary Christian music, even though I am a little bit. I'm writing this because I thoroughly enjoyed John Mark McMillan's work and I think that his music needs to be acknowledged and to a degree be emulated. Though I tread with caution there because I think blind emulation is something that has contributed to our current problem, and has created the other extreme, artists that won't touch Christianity with a ten foot pole. There are in fact gems out there that write great Christian music and their work should not be marginalized.
Back to the album. The actual sound of The Medicine is a bit of a mix of Roots Rock, Folk Rock and plain old Rock music. The album is not lacking in lyrical mastery, and does not shy away from the powerful name of Christ, a plea for "righteousness" and what sounds like a real heart for God. It holds true to Christianity, all the while maintaining lyrics that uplift and make you think, as it holds on to a sound that leaves one desiring to hear more.
If I were you, I'd buy the album for $9.99 on iTunes, and check it out for yourself. It comes with some extras if you get it via iTunes. I hope the impact that The Medicine by John Mark Mcmillan had on me on a stressful Thursday morning will at least make you take a look at it, as I know this review is not quite like most reviews. I think about 25% was dedicated to the actual album.
Well, I polished off a plate of spaghetti and a couple of pieces of bread, now its off to bed so I can get to work in the morning.
Fan Falls From Stands at Baseball GamePosted in Uncategorized with tags Baseball, fan falls, Indians, News, Rangers on July 7, 2010 by raingeg
Here's some the story from mlb.com:
ARLINGTON — A male fan fell from the second-deck club level and into the lower bowl at the Ballpark in Arlington in the fifth inning of the Rangers' 12-1 win over the Indians on Tuesday. The incident delayed the game 16 minutes as ballpark personnel tended to him and four other injured fans.
The fan flipped over the railing before landing on his back in section 35, which is roughly a 30-foot drop.
He was conscious and able to move all of his extremities. After being stabilized, he was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas.
"He's over at the emergency room having tests done," Rangers president Nolan Ryan said. "The preliminary indications are that it could have been a lot worse. We really don't know at this point in time. I think that obviously he'll remain in the hospital for observation. We're hopeful that what injuries he has are minimal."
The man was sitting in the front row of Section 235 and was reaching for a foul ball that had sailed over his head and caromed back toward the field. According to a witness, the man turned his back to the field, reached over his head for the foul ball and lost his balance.
Four other fans were treated for minor injuries related to the fall, but none was taken to the hospital.
This video is very interesting. From the perspective that we have here, which is a view of the umpire, the players, the voices of the announcers and a select group of fans, what happened was obviously something that was not good.
But just the sound of the shear terror that comes from the crowd all at once is something to think about. Also the players that you see instantly praying. It just really struck me, how similar yet differently all of these people reacted to this. I don't want to over analyze this video yet, but it deserves some thought.
Federal Gov. Pays for Deads Heating and Cooling, Woman Keeps Corpse for 11 YearsPosted in Economy, Humor, Politics with tags News, Politics, Weird on July 7, 2010 by raingeg
It wasn't too long ago that I watched the movie Psycho for the first time, I know, I have no excuse as to why it took so long. You ask yourself after that movie if anyone really does keep dead people around like that. Apparently they do.
A 91-year-old woman found living with the corpses of her husband and twin sister will be allowed to keep them if she installs a mausoleum or crypt, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Its not just one corpse, its two! I guess the weirdest part about this story is the fact that her husband died in 1999! So for the last 11 years she has been tending to her dead husbands body.
State police have been investigating the bizarre case since the corpses were discovered in mid-June. Authorities found the body of James Stevens on a couch in the detached garage and the body of June Stevens on a couch in a spare room off the bedroom.
This sends shivers down my spine.
I actually feel kind of bad for the lady, she is lonely and apparently claustrophobic and didn't want to think of her relatives stuck in a coffin. To that I say, there's always cremation. But, really, you must be asking some of the same questions that I am.
In other news, the federal government has no problem sending money to dead people.
According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the federal government helped pay the home air conditioning bills for more than 11,000 dead people, 1,100 federal employees, and 725 convicts in fiscal year 2009.
The payments were made by a $5 billion program known as the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). LIHEAP is designed to provide federal assistance, administered by the states, to help people pay the energy bills to heat their homes in the winter and cool them in the summer. The funds are disbursed by the Department of Health and Human Services and are distributed based on a formula that takes into account a state's weather and the size of its low-income population.
"Our analysis of LIHEAP data revealed that the program is at risk of fraud and providing improper benefits in all seven of our selected states," reported the GAO. "About 260,000 applications–9 percent of households receiving benefits in the selected states–contained invalid identity information, such as Social Security numbers, names, or dates of birth."
Now, the obvious question is why, with today's technology, is there not some sort of system that the applications could have been run through to make sure that nothing fraudulent was going on. Better yet, why not just use the system that the GAO is using, whatever that may be.
"The identities of over 11,000 deceased individuals were used as applicants or household members for LIHEAP benefits," reads the GAO report. "Our analysis matching LIHEAP data to the SSA's death master file found these individuals were deceased before the LIHEAP application date."
Every time I call my bank and talk to a rep from customer service I have to verify who I am, generally using the last four digits of my social security number, what's even more impressive is that they can tie that social security number to my identity, all in about three minutes. There was one application lacked any proof of identification like a social security number or a drivers license number. These are the people you'd like in charge of you health care.
