There are those who believe that angels walk among us, masked as everyday people yet affecting others in a way that can only be explained as spiritual. These "angels" take an ordinary job or everyday experience and transform it into something extraordinary.
Doug Haynes truly believes that he was touched by angels when he hobbled into the Joint Replacement Center at Shelby Baptist Medical Center. Plagued with a knee injury that required replacement surgery, Doug was finally convinced that surgery was his only option. He had seen his quality of life compromised because of his knee - he was ready for a new lease on life.
What he got can almost be explained as a rebirth of sorts. Within a day of the surgery, he was up and walking, but to Doug that was not the most incredible part of the story. It was the people he encountered throughout the journey.
"Everyone I met there lives the Golden Rule: 'treat you like they would want to be treated,'" explains Doug. "I was never rushed, never felt like I was asking too many questions. Everyone from top to bottom sincerely cared about what they were doing for me. The level of professionalism exceeded any expectations. Doctors, nurses and therapists helped me excel in my recovery by setting realistic goals and then working with me to achieve these goals. They ministered to my spirit, and it was obvious they were living a Christian mission, and not just talking the talk, really walking it."
And speaking of walking, when Doug Haynes walked out of the Shelby Baptist Joint Replacement Center, it was not just with a new knee, but with a new life. And as the enthusiasm mounts in his voice, Doug reflects, "Before the surgery I faced each day and every activity with an element of fear. I knew I didn't want to live my life that way any more. Now I am energized thinking about everything I can do - travel, hiking, fishing and, most importantly, just living life. I feel the same level of excitement as I did when I was twenty years old! I am reborn."

Yes, it's true. Annie Lennox performed her hit "Sweet Dreams" in drag at the Grammy Awards in 1984, and her dark-haired male alter-ego vaguely resembled Lady Gaga's Jo Calderone (who vaguely resembled a lot of people).
Kelly Osbourne commented on the similarities via Twitter, linking to a YouTube clip of Lennox's performance and posting, "I love lady gaga but I wish she would start giving credit where credit is due!"
While we do think Gaga is guilty of borrowing ideas — "Born This Way" sounds a lot like old-school Madonna and it's hard to deny that Bette Midler did the mermaid-in-a-wheelchair bit better — this one may be a bit of a stretch.
Women have been dressing in drag for centuries. Ms. Lennox wasn't asked to give credit to the millions who went before her, so should Gaga?
Weigh in below in our comments section.

ZVBI provides functions to capture and decode VBI data. The vertical blanking
interval (VBI) is an interval in a television signal that temporarily suspends
transmission of the signal for the electron gun to move back up to the first
line of the television screen to trace the next screen field. The vertical
blanking interval can be used to carry data, since anything sent during the VBI
would naturally not be displayed; various test signals, closed captioning, and
other digital data can be sent during this time period.

Not required, hence rpmlint marking this as a warning only, not an error. IMO,
the script name should be the same as the daemon in question.
I can review this. At first glance, package looks clean, just a few items off
the top of my head so far:
1. in -devel: Change
Requires: zvbi = %{version}-%{release}
to the less error-prone:
Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
2. in %post/%postun fonts, change
/usr/bin/fc-cache %{_datadir}/fonts
/usr/bin/fc-cache %{_datadir}/fonts/%{name}
no need to tell fc-cache to reparse *all* of %_datadir/fonts, when we're only
interested in %_datadir/fonts/%name
3. -fonts: I'm pretty sure there's no real need for
Requires: fontconfig
Requires(post): /usr/bin/fc-cache
Requires(postun): /usr/bin/fc-cache
The pkg doesn't *really* need/use fontconfig, and the calls to fc-cache in
scriptlets are wrapped with:
if [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ]; then
Ammend item 2:
Only should change %post, I'd recommend:
/usr/bin/fc-cache -f %{_datadir}/fonts/%{name}
shouldn't change %postun, since %{_datadir}/fonts/%{name} no longer exists
> W: zvbi no-reload-entry /etc/rc.d/init.d/zvbid
> In your init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/your_file), you don't
> have a 'reload' entry, which is necessary for good functionality.

> follow that.
I'm in agreement with Rex on this one, I think calling the init script zvbi in
this case doesn't make much sense, particularly when the daemon is really a
small subset of the whole zvbi package, as opposed to being the primary
function. It would require more than a simple namechange as the init script
would need to be patched so that the 'subsystems' had matching names. Overkill
I think for simply dropping the trailing 'd'.
With wrt the reload option as it's considered optional I would rather not add
it. IIRC primary reason for a reload option is to tell the daemon to reload its
config files without quitting and starting again which is very useful for
daemons that don't instantly stop or start such as squid, but in this case
zvbid doesn't load configs.
Here's the latest version incorporating the three fixes from above.

Beautiful Swedish Styled folk rock with female vocals, heavy metal electric bass, organ, male harmonies, and some extra instruments. All tracks are more or less in the same balance between the music instruments. It goes into the direction of some of the metal folk bands, but remains always within the folk territory, while all the other musical elements like some jazz, medieval, ethnic with even now and then a few heavy metal guitar touches, only illustrating. Where some bands as Hedningarna have so many contrasts, making it difficult to me to listen to the CD's too often, such ideas might have lead in this band to a certain approach towards some harmony, which results makes this CD most pleasant to listen to.

Teambuilding Through the Transitions
"It isn't the changes that do you in, it's the transitions," observes internationally known consultant and author Dr. William Bridges. Change, he explains, is situational, while transition is psychological process people go through as they come to terms with the details of a new situation.
Here at Corporate Events Indianapolis, we know. Often, when a major change is underway in an organization, that's when Christian and Katalina are called upon to use teambuilding to help employees adapt to those changes.
"Even though you won't find it in the change document," Bridges notes, "transition isn't some optional 'if-you-get-around-to-it' add-on to the change." Getting people through the transition is essential if the change is to work as planned.
There are three transitional stages organizations go through:
- Letting go of the old ways and the old identity.
- Going through an in-between time or "neutral zone" when psychological "repatterning" takes place
- Making a new beginning.
Most important, the author stresses, organizations don't "go through" anything; people do. That's the reason Bridges advises:
- giving everyone a training seminar on how to work as a team
- holding regular team meetings
- changing annual individual targets to team targets
- rewarding team performance
Bridges tells the story of a food processing plant at which the leadership wanted a faster way to involve everyone in the transition. Events were planned that mixed line workers with leaders and middle managers. Managers worked hard to reassure the families of the people who worked for them. The results were very positive – less anxiety, more solidarity between exempt and nonexempt workers, and improved productivity all around. That food processing plant created a teambuilding success story.
The same principles Katalina and Christian use in corporate trade show marketing apply in creating teambuilding experiences for employees. "We are an extension of the company," Katalina says. "It is our job to assist in generating revenue for the company. Now, we don't do this in the traditional way that sales people or employees do," she explains. "What we do is contribute to the emotional health and well being of the company's clients by creating for them a positive experience that becomes associated with the company."
Teambuilding guidelines:
- Learning must be take place in an ambiance of mutual respect and caring for all participants.
- Learning happens in an environment of fun and humor. At the same time, the very real concerns employees have about what the organizational changes will mean in terms of their own situations must be dealt with as part of the discussions.
- Messages are wrapped in unique presentation formats and exercises.
On the surface, it might appear that because our Corporate Events Indianapolis team comes in from "the outside", that employees and managers would be more reluctant to reveal their true concerns. In fact, the opposite almost always occurs; participants are less reticent and readier to respond during the discussions, exercises, and role-plays.
William Bridges comes back again and again to the all-important in-between stage of organizational change, that "neutral zone" between the old era and the new when psychological "repatterning" takes place. "Painful though it is," he remarks, the neutral zone is the individual's
and the organization's best chance to renew themselves and develop into what they need to become.
Teambuilding is an integral part of that renewal and development process, we've learned at Corporate Events Indianapolis. The old "levels" are still entrenched in everyone's mind, with individuals still trying to get things done with the help of their old hierarchy of team members and supervisors. The teambuilding processes provide an all-important opportunity to test and refine new groupings and new thinking.
Since, as Bridges points out so cogently, It isn't the changes that do you in, but the transitions, the teambuilding process can make the difference between getting "done in" and "getting the job done" by progressing to the new reality.

You are here
Graduate College policies and procedures regarding students were developed by the faculty and the staff of the College to maintain academic standards, to ensure equitable assessment and treatment of students, and to monitor and record their progress in an efficient manner. Occasionally students have legitimate reasons for requesting exceptions to policies and procedures, and the petition process allows them to formally state their cases.
The petition process is not a vehicle for students to fix problems they (or the department) have created by not knowing or following policies and procedures. Rather, it should be used by students who, for reasons beyond their control, have not been able to meet requirements, and who have an educationally sound alternative means of meeting the spirit, if not the letter, of the policy or procedure. The intention of the Graduate College faculty when the rule was adopted is the guiding principle in the review of a petition at the College level.
Petitions are normally reviewed at three levels (some require more). The advisor, acting as the College's closest representative to the student is the first judge of whether or not a request is reasonable and fair given his/her knowledge of the student's situation. The DGS is then asked to evaluate the request within the context of the program and his/her understanding of the philosophy of the Graduate College. The Graduate College, which, of necessity, has a wider scope, then adds its perspective on the issue. When the College administration feels that the request is a major violation of College standards, or that it is unjustifiably unfair to other students, it reserves the right to deny the request.
The intent of the College in this three-part process is to reinforce, not weaken, the relationship of the student to the DGS and program, and to underscore the College's assumption that Directors of Graduate Studies provide active oversight and continuous mentoring of students in regards to degree progress and program compliance. In this same vein, the College also understands that DGS support of a petition will be based on procedural and pedagogic concerns carefully considered by the DGS and expressed in forwarding petitions. On the other hand, it expects that the DGS will withhold support when appropriate.
In cases where the Graduate College approves petitions, it does so only with the strong endorsement of the advisor and DGS, and where appropriate, the instructor of a course. In so doing, it sees the DGS as the advocate of the student in relation to the petition. The Graduate College closely reviews the justification (or lack of) provided by the advisor, and, most importantly, the DGS, to help formulate a decision. The DGS can speak to program issues as well as to the specific situation of the student. Consequently, the Graduate College will not discuss the disposition of a petition with the student alone. Discussion should be initiated by the DGS, or an appointment may be set up with the DGS, the student and the appropriate Graduate College dean.
Graduate Student Petition
Except for a leave of absence or for transfer credit (which have their own forms), students should use the Graduate Student Petition for all other situations. Two other exceptions are the Petition to Register After the Registration Deadline and the Petition for Retroactive Registration or Course Add, both of which are Office of Registration and Records (ORR) forms.
Leave of Absence
See Leave of Absence
Petition to Register After the Registration Deadline (ORR form)
Students are allowed to register and make course adjustments in Banner uising UIC Web for Student (through which they access Student Self-Service) while the registration for the term is active. Priority and Open registration begins approximately twp months before the start of the term and continutes through the official 10th day (5th in Summer) of the term. Any registration activity after that date is considered late.
- If the student needs to make an adjustment to their existing schedule after the deadline but before final week has begun, the Petition to Register After the Registration Deadline should notbe used. See Dropping and Adding Courses to determine what forms are required, based upon what the student is attempting to do.
- If the student is not registered for the term and is attempting to register late for a term in progress, the Petition to Register After the Registration Deadline and the Graduate College Registration Revision Form must be used. The Graduate College Student Petition is not needed.
- The Petition to Register After the Registration Deadline is available for printing from the Graduate College website.
Petition for Retroactive Registration or Course Add (ORR form)
Students should make course registration corrections and adjustments during the time that registration is active (i.e. through the official 10th day of the term, 5th day in summer). In addition, students may need to make adjustments or corrections after the deadline (see Dropping and Adding Courses).
Course adjustments or registrations after the final exam week (final two days in Summer) are strongly discouraged, as students have ample time to make corrections and should not be allowed to make adjustments after finals have begun. However, in rare instances where this situation arises, the student must complete the Petition for Retroactive Registation or Course Add and a Graduate College Registration Revision Form. The petition form must be obtained from either the Registration Office in SSB or the Graduate College. See Dropping and Adding Courses for further information, including exceptions where this form is not to be used, and which office must sign and approve the request.
Registration Corrections
With the advent of Banner and UIC Web for Student, students, departments and colleges will be able to confirm students' academic records more efficiently and effectively. Students are able to consult the UIC Web for Student at any point to confirm their schedule and transcript, which should eliminate long term errors by giving students the opportunity to correct problems immediately, especially current registration issues with section numbers, missing courses, and course hours.
Failure to register properly on the part of the student will not be considered, by itself, an acceptable reason to process late and retroactive registration changes. A Graduate College Registration Revision form must be attached to all petitions regarding course changes.
Transfer Credit Toward An Advanced Degree
Petition Deadlines
Students are expected to take corrective action immediately upon discovery for registration petitions. Other petitions must be filed not more than 30 days from the time of the occurrence leading to submission of the petition, or from the time when the student should reasonably have been able to determine that the occurrence leading to the petition might have affected his/her status, unless the student was given an earlier deadline. Directors of Graduate Studies likewise, are expected to advise students of the earnestness of deadline concerns in exercising their petition rights as graduate students.
See also Leave of Absence, Probation and Dismissal, Registration,and Transfer of Credit.
See Student Forms and Publications for a sample of the General Student Petition, Graduate College Registration Revision Form, the Leave of Absence petition and Graduate Petition For Transfer Credit Toward An Advanced Degree, as well as a sample of the Petition to Register After the Deadline (OAR form).

Strength of Character
Hamodia magazine had an article about Mrs. Ruth Ebstein, wife of a teacher of mine. She and her husband were from Germany and survived the war. He spent six years in Siberian labor camps.
From the age of 13 and on, Ruth experienced Kristallnacht, being sent out of Germany by her parents, living with a distant relative in France for two and a half years, living in an orphanage, and leaving with the other children for America via Spain and Portugal. She was 15 and a half and on her own in an orphanage in New York and and was then sent to California.
"I may have been out of physical danger, but the spiritual danger was enormous. It was so easy to be pulled in by the gashmius. Out of the 75 Orthodox children who were on the ship with me, only ten remained frum. Many simply had no one to guide them, for there were no religious communities [in California] back then."
Ruth attended Hollywood High School and found work. She lived on fruits and vegetables for four years in order not to eat treif, even as she lived with Jewish people. "The family I lived with went to temple, but they told me about a shul with a 'religious rabbi' a mile away. I walked there every Shabbos, once in the morning for davening and again for seuda shlishis to hear the rabbi's inspiring dvar Torah and the zemiros sung by the old men."
What struck me as I read her account was the contrast between what she endured and overcame and the fragility of today's frum teenagers and their petty problems. I am not talking about those with genuine hardships, but of the angst, i.e. emotional problems that come from not properly dealing with normal life. Rabbi Benzion Shafier noted this as referred to in this post: here

Opening Keynote by Dave Thomas
I didn't take notes on this; just listened. Dave went thru the history of his involvement w/ Ruby, the books and how it grew beyond his wildest expectations.
His last part touched me the most: find someone and mentor them into the Ruby community. His comments would have more meaning to me as the conference unfolded.
Debugging Ruby Systems by Aman Gupta
Aman described all the "heavy hitting" tools to use when the problem lies outside of using console or irb to figure out what's going on:
- lsof
- strace - linux only - trace system calls and signals
- tcpdump - dump traffic on a network - use wireshark for decomposing results
- perftools - google's performance tools
- cpuprofiler
- perftools.rb (available on github)
- rack-perftools - rack middleware for prftools.rb
- ltrace - trace library calls. Is presently unable to trace into shared libraries; ltrace/libdl will fix this.
- gdb - the GNU debugger
What I would find out later is the attempt to integrate what these tools do in one application. But these were good; sometimes I've used one or another but it was helpful to have the entire selection explained again.
The Polite Programmer's Guide to Ruby Etiquette
by Jim Weirich, Chris Nelson, and Ed Sumerfield
Basically, how to not break others' code when you use 'method_missing' and similar powerful Ruby features.
- When using method_missing, delegate what you don't handle to super.
- Beware there are several "hook" methods:
- method_missing
- constant_missing
- etc
- When using method_missing, don't forget to handle responds_to as well.
- When publishing a gem, don't forget to put that gem's dependencies in the gem description file. There is now a feature in the description file to also specify additional gems depended upon only during development.
A static checking toolset.
There are quite a few independent software packages covering different metrics:
- Flog reports. Measures complexity. Also top 5% complex ones.
- RCov. code coverage. What lines in your code has been executed by tests.
- Reek: bad naming
- Play: copy-paste detection. Is fairly good at
- Saikuro - cyclosomatic complexity. Covers branching complexity
- Source - Source Control Churn.
- Roodi: Tries to find definite code design.
That's quite a few different outputs to wade through. MetricFu organizes all output in one graph per method. Hence, MetricFu is based upon Caliper and accomplishes the "unification" of static metric output on a per method basis.
ZOMG - Why Is This Code So Slow?
Aaron Patterson put on a performance that will be a classic video to watch in coming years. In a very humorous way, he explored a Rails 3 anomaly that we experienced ourselves, a mysterious and significant ActiveRecord performance slowdown.
In telling it like a detective story, Aaron walks us through his motivations and thinking in
- Discovering the problem
- Deciding that it's worth his time to fix it.
- Understanding the problem
- Fixing the problem
Of course it was not that straightforward. Aaron realizes that understanding the problem will probably take MUCH more time than he wants to invest, so he goes through all the "standard optimization" stuff and gets some benefit. But, the fundamental problem remains the same: the speed slows down as the square of the number of terms in the query.
Finally, he breaks down and decides to work to understand the problem.
He spends 3 weeks (or was it 6) in just this exercise. An extensive part of his education comes from automated benchmarking; don't leave home without one. Once Aaron truly understands the code, he realizes some design that will have to be changed. I.e. a rewrite. So he does. At the end, all of the lost time is recovered and then some.
Along the way I "relearned" some computer engineering fundamentals and had was thoroughly entertained as well: Benchmarking. Diagrams that describe how the code is organized.
My takeaway is that Aaron reminded me that tough problems require a plan of action that almost always requires an extensive time period to study and understand the code causing the problem. This can be hard to choose when you're in a tough constrained time box. I have to continually "check my footing" before I jump to conclusions about the cause of a problem and attempt a solution before I really understand the problem.

It's Time for a Ruby Editor
This talk introduces RedCar, a recent Ruby-implemented editor. Why?
- Integration - Syntax analysis is easier
- Convenient - Can extend easier
- Fun - Not as much a language curve
- Power - API not limited by
A demo showed examples of the above.
Takeaway: very interesting. I'm still fantasizing about pairing RedCar with Rubinious as the foundation of a truly impressive Ruby IDE. ;-)
Maintaining Balance While Reducing Duplication
David Chelimsky cited chapter-and-verse about the evils of duplication code. That being said, he showed how to remove duplication thoughtfully, that is, without breaking it or making it hard to read.
The guiding principal is that removing duplication should improve code clarity, not obscure it. It therefore helps to remember that DRY calls for the removal of duplicated functionality, not just the minimization of keystrokes. This is so that functionality can be changed in once place.
Another way to look at it is that every piece of knowledge should have a signle unambiguous authoritative representation. Always consider purpose and intention.
Improving DRY means adding levels of indirection. Always make sure that the code depends on other code that is not likely to change.
Suggestions for Making your "DRY-improvements" better:
- Depend on things that are less likely to change.
- The problem is not that you have to change code in two places. The real problem is that you don't know you need to change it in two places.
- Duplication is not always obvious. This is especially pernicious in rspec.
- Duplication often results from "feature envy".

Jeremy Evans discusses how the real problem with Date and DateTime performance os the powerful but slow date parsing for date strings. You can improve this if you limit the parsing options.

On Oppression and Justice in Islam
SHAFAQNA – In light of the tragic situation in the Middle East–with the systematic mass slaughter in Syria, the hypocritical stance taken by many organizations/individuals, and the truly shameful collective silence of many religious scholars–I thought it would be prudent to list some Qur'anic verses, hadith (traditions from both Sunni and Shiite sources) from the Prophet (SAW), examples/sayings of the Sahaba (RAA), and their successors to demonstrate the importance of justice and aiding the oppressed in Islam. Unfortunately, with very few exceptions, I have lost all confidence in many of our so-called scholars to convey this information to the Muslims, instead they have become infatuated with declaring the sinfulness of opposing tyranny or the necessity of aiding tyrants if those they are oppressing happen to belong to a different sect than ourselves. In fact, the Prophet Muhamamd (SAW), addressed this phenomenon when he said: "The religious scholars are the honest satisfactory trustees of the Prophet so long as they do not look at the world. It was asked: O Messenger of God! What is the meaning of their turning toward the world? He replied: Following unjust and wrong rulers. So when they do so be careful and be afraid of them for the sake of your religion"
"The way of blame is only against those who treat the people unjustly, and resort to aggression without provocation. These have incurred a painful retribution"– Qur'an 42:42
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor." Sahih Bukahri: Volume 3, Book 43, Number 622
"We willed to show favor to those who were oppressed on earth, and to turn them into leaders, and make them the inheritors."–Qur'an 28:5
Narrated Abu Ma'bad, that the Prophet (SAW) said, "… and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person because there is no screen between his invocation and Allah." Sahih Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 24, Number 573.
"I shall take revenge on the oppressor in this world and the next. I shall take revenge on someone who saw the person being oppressed and was able to help him but did not"–Hadith Qudsi.
Narrated Abu Bakrah: The Prophet (SAW) said: There is no sin more fitted to have punishment meted out by Allah to its perpetrator in advance in this world along with what He stores up for him in the next world than oppression and severing ties of relationship. Sahih Muslim: Book 41, Number 4884
"The best Jihad is to speak a word of truth to a tyrannical ruler"–Prophet Muhammad(SAW)
"Whoever assists an oppressor against an oppressed one always remains under Divine anger until he stops aiding the tyrant"–Ja'far al-Sadiq
Narrated Anas: Allah's Apostle said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, "O Allah's Apostle! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet said, "By preventing him from oppressing others." Sahih Bukhari: Volume 3, Book 43, Number 624.
"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allâh, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allâh is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allâh is Ever Well Acquainted with what you do." – Qur'an 4:135
Narrated Abu Musa: Allah's Apostle said, "Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He takes him over, He never releases him." Then he recited, "Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes (population of) towns in the midst of their wrong: Painful indeed, and severe is His seizure.' (11.102) Sahih Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 60, Number 208.
"…and do not help one another in sin and oppression; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in requiting evil."– Qur'an 5:2
Narrated Abu Dharr: Allah's Apostle (SAW) stated that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: My servants, I have made oppression unlawful for Me and unlawful for you
Prophet (SAW.) said: When the Day of Judgment rises an announcer announces: Where are the tyrants and their helpers this calling also includes those who even filled an ink-pot for the unjust ruler or sew his purse or sharpened a pencil for the oppressors. So gather them along with the tyrants.
"A tyrant and the one who helps an oppressor as well as the one who is pleased with such injustice all the three are accomplices in the sin"–Muhammad al-Baqir
"And do not incline to those who are unjust, lest the fire touch you, and you have no guardians besides Allah, then you shall not be helped."–Qur'an 11:13
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet (SAW) supplicated: Help the oppressed and guide those who have lost their way {Book 41, Number 4799: Sunan Abu-Dawud}
Narrated Jabir: Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "Beware of oppression, for oppression will turn into excessive darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of niggardliness, for niggardliness destroyed your predecessors." (Muslim)

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Democrats are threatening to sue the state, alleging election officials are trying to influence the outcome of the U.S. Senate race by illegally providing voters a list of write-in candidates.
Attorney Joe McKinnon says Democrats will consider their options, including seeking a restraining order, if the state continues the practice.
Officials removed a write-in list from a voting booth in Homer following a complaint. But the director of the division of elections says write-in lists have been sent to polling places and that officials see their providing this, to those who ask for it, as meeting their obligation to provide voter assistance.
GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski is running as a write-in candidate. A recent poll shows her a virtual tie with Joe Miller, who beat her in the primary.

Engebrecht's raw account of the invisible ailment that claimed her daughter's life.
"Tragic" hardly begins to describe the heartbreak of LauraJo's struggle with borderline personality disorder, which her mother documents with the help of LauraJo's journal entries, poetry and sketches. On the surface, LauraJo appears so typical that fellow patients in a mental institution wonder why she's there. Yet her articulate daybook entries are filled with despair and feelings she can't quite control, sometimes lurking just beneath her observations. "No one could ask or be more thankful for such a glorious day," LauraJo writes after one outing. "Then darkness fell, the sun was gone and anxiety, doubt and thoughts of suicide returned. I truly believed earlier in the day that I had it licked." Self-harm becomes an integral part of her life, as other journal entries mention several failed suicide attempts and the quest for something to make rat poison taste good. Decades after her daughter's death, Engebrecht's commentary is the voice of a mother who's accepted that she'll never have answers for some questions: "Why didn't I see evidence of your self-abuse earlier?" she wonders. Whether she's writing about a flash flood that destroyed the family home in mere minutes or LauraJo's success as a tennis player and her struggles with her sexuality, Engebrecht lays bare the bones of her own life and her daughter's. Rare technical slips, like the use of "flower" instead of "flour," are irrelevant in the face of such honesty.
Reveals an extraordinarily talented individual who waged an epic struggle and, in her own way, won—for a time.

I do not trial my dogs and don't use them in the corral, I would like to have a dog that works in the corrals just haven't had the opportunity to train one. I try to keep things simple, mainly because I am not smart enough to remember a long list of commands and I usaully have just thrown my dogs into the fire so to speak. I have found that using a lot of commands is like micro managing an employee. If you are always telling a person what to do they will always wait for you to tell them what to do instead of thinking for themselves. My experience tells me that if you are always giving your dog commands that they will always wait for one, or want to be where they can take one. I often give my dogs a direction (command) and leave them alone and let them do their job and ask them to think their way through situations. I also expect them to get that job done. I feel like there is a big difference between a big country dog and a dog that works in the pens, probably not as much risk in losing control of a dog in the middle of a pasture.
Sorry for the long of subject reply. Just random thoughts and experience on trying to use different commands and numbers of commands you use. Fire away, I may have no idea what I am talking about.

Week 5, of "Run Kimbo Run" very nearly completed. I've had a couple of hard runs this week, but surpassed myself yesterday after running for 2 minutes longer then I had planned.
This was in part caused by the brain fog I am getting when out running & losing track of time. Way back when I use to just, run. Now its all timed runs, timed breaks, distance, speed, agility. The latter firmly being tested earlier in the week when some eejit, ie myself, suggested it would be fun to run up a massive hill!
It was not fun! It was bloody hard work!
But I persevered, and got my reward at the top, panting and puffing, nearly doubled over, I looked up and was met with a stunning view of Tottenham and a feeling of immense pride.
I'd just run up a hill. And I was still breathing, or just about at any rate!
I took the long walk back down, and wandered why on earth am I doing this. Well initially, it was quite simply, for fun and fitness. Until I decided I needed a goal; Cue one of my oldest friends with perfect timing and a knack for talking me in to all kinds of madness, I'm now all signed up for a 10-mile charity walk in May!
It may not be a marathon, a 10k run or a race, but none the less, its a goal for me to work towards.
And I think that's the most important thing when you first start running, something to keep you motivated, I also hear walking can improve running, so potentially its win-win.
