THE fate of Southport's Tourist Information Centre has still not been decided as councillors called for assurance that the service would be open for the summer season.
It came as councillors voted unanimously to reduce lifeguard cover at Dunes and Splash World, axe the mobile library service and ramp up burial and cremation fees.
The first of two Cabinet meetings to set this year's budget also saw Fairways Park and Ride closed on Saturdays, the highways budget reduced by £400,000 and the end to a parenting network which supports 300 families. All 556 hanging baskets will also go as part of the drive to find £20.5m savings by March 1.
The Tourist Information Centre (TIC) will be sold in 2013 and the service will move into the Cultural Centre.
But Lib Dem leader, Cllr Tony Robertson spoke of his fears that Southport, where tourism supports 5,300 jobs, could be without a TIC until the Cultural Centre opens in Spring 2013.
He said: "The TIC could close on April 1 meaning we would have a whole summer without one. We are also concerned for the staff in the TIC, who are highly experienced."
He added they are not opposed to the TIC moving into the Cultural Centre next year.
Council leader Cllr Peter Dowd said shutting Sefton's tourism service completely was not an option.
Looking ahead to the final Cabinet meeting on February 16 and the full council meeting on March 1 when Cllr Peter Dowd will present the final budget, the Labour leader said he would be protecting the "most vulnerable."
He said: "We will be saving the crucial services, the statutory services around the care of people; the care of children and the disabled. We will be focussed on the most vulnerable and front line services. The non-statutory services are going to be the ones which are going to see the bigger hit."
Sefton Council conducted its most extensive consultation, putting £25m of options on the table to find £20.5m of savings.
Leader of the opposition, Cllr Robertson said: "His objectives differ from ours. He is looking after his Bootle heartlands. It is highly likely that the areas outside of Bootle are going to be the areas that we feel have more than their fair savings."
Options being considered at the final meeting include reducing the service which supports the elderly, homeless and those at risk of domestic violence by £2m, reducing the funds for maintaining parks and beaches, which would lead to more litter, dog foul and vandalism, and hiking fees for local sports users.
What do you think of the cuts? Where should Sefton save cash? Please call Katie Oakes on: 01704 398273 or email: email@example.com or write to: Views, Southport Visiter, 26-32 Tulketh St, Southport.

US President Donald Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump on Tuesday met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly session.
Ivanka took to Twitter to express her respect for Sushma Swaraj, describing her as the 'charismatic' foreign minister.
"I have long respected India's accomplished and charismatic Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, and it was an honor to meet her today," Ivanka tweeted.
"We had a great discussion on women's entrepreneurship, the upcoming #GES2017 and workforce development in the US and India," she said in another tweet.
Ivanka, who would be leading American delegation to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in India in November, discussed about women's entrepreneurship and workforce development in the two countries.
The Indian Embassy in the US also said that Sushma Swaraj discussed 'Women Empowerment' and Ivanka's forthcoming visit to India.
During her week-long stay, Swaraj is expected to hold about 20 bilateral and trilateral meetings with leaders attending the session.
Swaraj is scheduled to leave for India, a day after her address to the UN General Assembly on September 23.

On November 24th we return to The Nest in Dalston, London for the next Stars Of The Future party, this time with the producer and DJ Ben Pearce. This is an artist who has been very active over the past couple of years and is now forging a strong reputation with a string of quality releases on high caliber independent record labels including MTA and Under The Shade.
Ben is extremely versatile as a DJ. His production is rooted in 4/4 and house with hints of garage: a smooth, deep sound with a slow build led by beats that somehow sound both loungy and jacking. There is definitely an identity to Ben's music.
On the 24th Ben will be joined by Future Disco residents Sean Brosnan and Dom Chung. We are very excited to have Ben at Stars Of The Future and look forward to more releases. Check in on the Facebook event page, and follow us on Twitter to be the first to know.

Date: Wed, 14 May 2008
From: "JSP/JAMM" firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Richard Ayal Frieden re 15 year old Ami Ortiz
Dear Friends, the following is a report from Pastor David and Leah Ortiz, the Parents of 15 year old Ami Ortiz who suffered severe injuries when from a bomb sent to his home disguised as a Purim Holiday package and exploded upon opening. I met David and Leah last week and was deeply moved by their testimony. A special thanks to those who sent hundreds of 'get-well' cards and letters of support and love to Ami and his family. I understand that his Mom reads these letters everyday to Ami. I know that this has been a tremendous encouragement to Ami and his family.
Shalom and blessings,
Richard and Yardena Frieden
Ami Update
We checked out of the Schneider Children's hospital, last week after a six-week stay, 8 days in the ICU and the rest on the children's floor. Ami received excellent care from the doctors and nurses in that hospital, but in response to prayer from the four corners of the earth Ami has been healing at a rate that is extraordinary. The plastic surgeon that worked on Ami said that in his 15 years of experience he had never seen such extensive wounds. He said he has at least one hundred pieces of shrapnel in his body from his head to his feet which his body is slowly bringing up under the surface of the skin which will come out by themselves.
Thank God Ami was admitted today into a rehabilitation program in Tel HaShomer hospital. It is the hospital where terror attack victim's are treated, and also soldiers wounded in battle, so they are very experienced with the multiple injuries Ami has.
In the meantime, we had a week hiatus at home. We enjoyed living a more normal life for at least a week, and readjusting to new realities. I, Leah, have learned to change Ami's bandages and so I see improvement everyday and I see areas of skin that were wounded before that are completely back to normal. We have much hope and at the same time need much patience, as that is one very big lesson that we are learning through this ordeal. The Lord is very faithful to give His promises. From the very beginning He assured us that there had been a decision made in Heaven that we might not understand now, but that Ami would be fine and that He would use this for His glory. The working out of it has been painful for everyone especially Ami, and we have found that we have need to stand in faith that His promises will come to pass. As it is written in, Joshua 21:45,
Not a word failed of any good thing that the Lord had spoken to the House of Israel. All came to pass.
Prayer Points:
Please pray for complete restoration of the use of Ami's hands and arms.
Please pray for healing of all burns and scars on his body.
Please pray for continued emotional and spiritual healing for Ami and for the family.
Please pray for Ami's siblings that they would all draw closer to the Lord through this experience. Please pray for the police investigation and that the one's responsible for this would be brought to justice.

Location: Historic American Sheet Music Collection, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina
Title of Song: Hie away old Satan; Galop; Good bye Nancy Jane
Composer: Rosenfeld, M.H.; Blake, Charles D.
Publisher: White, Smith & Company
Year & Date: 1885, Boston, Massachusetts
Collection/Call Number/Copies: Music# B-538
Historic American Sheet Music Item #: b0538
Basic Description
An African American woman reels from a man with devil horns and a long coiled tail. The man wears a jester suit. His body is lumpy and badly drawn, making him an absurd villain. He thrusts his claw-like hand toward the woman as she pulls away so forcefully that her heel slips out of her shoe. Her gaping, terrified mouth reveals missing teeth. The little boy she is trying to protect straddles the handle of a razor. The devil-man's face is rendered differently from the cartoon-like faces of his potential victims, and has an almost photographic realism.
Personal Description
The woman is caught between a man with a long coiling tail and a baby boy with a razor popping from his mid-section. Is this a phallic reference and are the men (one darker-skinned, one lighter-skinned) fighting over the sexual ownership of this African American woman? While the lyrics describe a mother pleading Satan to leave her sleeping child alone, the image almost seems to shift the focus to stereotypes about African American male power and virility–the boy (who has the face of an adult man) seems better equipped to ward off the demon than his mother. Like the image, the title text is naively drawn. Perhaps the woman's melodramatic reaction to this chubby "Satan" was an awkward attempt to caricature the perceived superstition and excessive religiosity among African Americans.
Reality Check
W.E.B. DuBois, son Burghardt DuBois, and Nina Gomer DuBois
William Edward Burghardt DuBois was born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was the first African American to receive a doctorate from Harvard University and helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. He founded the Niagara Movement in 1905 and the NAACP's official journal, The Crisis in 1910. He was a scholar, writer, editor, and civil rights pioneer.
While teaching classics and modern languages at Wilberforce University in Ohio, DuBois met Nina Gomer, a student at the college, whom he married in 1896 in her home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The above photograph shows DuBois with his first wife, Nina Gomer, and their son, Burghardt in 1899, while they were living in Great Barrington. Burghardt died in 1899, the year Gomer gave birth to their daughter Yolande.
In his 1903 collection of essays, The Souls of Black Folk, DuBois addresses the role of religion in the African American community, stating that the African American church that arose within the narrow limits of the slave system for decades antedated as a social institution the "monogamic Negro home." He writes that "for fifty years Negro religion thus transformed itself and identified itself with the dream of Abolition, until that which was a radical fad in the white North and an anarchistic plot in the white South had become a religion in the black world. Thus, when Emancipation finally came, it seemed to the Freedman a literal Coming of the Lord. His fervid imagination was stirred as never before, by the tramp of armies, the blood and dust of battle, and the wail and whirl of social upheaval."
Nina Gomer DuBois died in 1950. In 1952, he married the writer Shirley Graham. In 1961, DuBois became a resident of Ghana in 1961. He died there in 1963 at the age of 95.

Unmade Beds
I don't think I've seen a film that reminded me so much of what it's like to be in your early 20s than this one; all the confusion, the rambling, the intensity. The story follows the naive 20 year old Spanish party boy Axl, who is in London to find his long lost English father, and Vera, a moody French girl who is getting over recent heartbreak. Both of them live in a London warehouse squat where no one pays rent. I definitely related more to Vera than Axl. I never was much of a crazy party girl. I had my adventures, but sometimes I wish I had been more wild. But I was a lot like Vera: serious, intense, broodingly emotional though I didn't often show it on the outside. I remember exactly how it felt to be in love the way she is with her nameless lover and the achingly, mind-blowing emptiness when neither of them can find each other.
Since the 80s are still so "in", the movie also sometimes felt like deja vu, but more from a time when I was 6 or 10 or 14. The wanna-be Joy Division band made me roll my eyes as did some of the fashions and sunglasses. I still can't wait until the hipsters pick out a less annoying decade to cloth themselves in.....Would I ever want to be 23 again? Hell no. Not in a million years. But I still enjoyed watching a film that reminded me of exactly how it felt to be 23 way back when.

i don't remember 23. i remember occasional moments throughout my timeline, but arranging them into correct years doesn't always work well...glad you enjoyed the movie. do german theatres sell artificially flavored popcorn to the extent american theatres do?

I'm not sure I remember anything super specific from 23, but the age seems to be a perfect description of anytime between 21 and 26. What other artificial flavored popcorn do they have now? When I lived in the U.S. it was only that gross, greasy butter flavoring. Definitely not something they would have in Germany. Only sugar and sometimes salt. The prices for food at movie theaters is also not crazy expensive. Oh, and you can also buy a beer and drink it during the film. So many differences!

Lead found in water at 2 schools in North Carolina county
DUNN, N.C. – Officials in a North Carolina county say slightly elevated levels of lead have been found in the water at two elementary schools.
School officials in Harnett County told local media that bottled water is being provided to students at Erwin Elementary and Benhaven Elementary.
Officials said the slightly elevated lead levels were found in several places in the buildings but not in the kitchens.
Erwin Elementary was built in 1926 and upgraded in 1948. Benhaven was built in 1924 and upgraded in 1936 and 1948.
Officials said since they learned of the test results, they've flushed the water system. They've also removed some water fountains and sinks and replaced them with water dispensers and hand-washing stations.
Water is being brought in for the ice machines and cafeterias.

Topics include Dining Scene, United States: For Foreign Visitors & more!
Located on Fisher's Island Sound near the Mystic and Thames rivers, Groton used to be the dominion of the Pequot Indian tribe. Dutch explorer Adrian Block was the first to survey the area. The Pequots were driven from the area when John Mason led an offensive against the fort they had there. Groton was originally a part of the incorporated commune of New London, which lay across the Thames river. Groton was incorporated as a separate commune in 1705, when it had grown large enough to sustain itself.
Groton was intially a farming community, but soon spread out into the naval construction industry, building boats and trading with nearby cities. The city was the site of a major battle during the Revolutionary War, when the infamous Benedict Arnold led British forces in a slaughter of over American forces stationed at Fort Griswold.
In1868 a naval yard was built on the Thames river. During World War I it was commissioned as a submarine base, and in World War II Groton became the submarine capital of the world when 75 submarines were stationed there. Groton was also the site for the launching of the first nuclear powered submarine, the USS Nautilus, in 1954.

It's true, it tastes horrible. I can't ever seem to get past that, so I can't comment too much about the actual properties of the balm itself. I've been using it on my daughter's lip, where she has a bit of a sore and it works well for that purpose.

I am a lip gloss, and lip moisturizer ADDICT. I usually keep 2-3 on hand at any given time. My fave of course is MAC's lip moisturizer
But every once in a while, I will check out a drug store brand to see if anything comes close to the moisturizing, oh so yummy smelling and tasting MAC lip conditioner.
I've been seeing the Nivea commercials and decided to try it.
In the immortal words of two of my favorite reviewers....
It didn't moisturize my lips AT ALL! They felt sorta like I put lotion on my lips. And the taste?!?!?! Why did it taste like I had just washed my lips with Ivory soap?!?!!?!?
This product is definintely TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!!

September 2009 represents the two year anniversary of this blog's creation. There have been 126 posts. Although the blog initially focused on issues relating to arts law, it quickly moved into the economics of the art world. Nowadays, especially with "book club" series of posts on The Art Instinct, the blog is branching out into language and the arts as well.
Some highlights of the past:
- "The Death of Angels" and "The Angels Within" discussed the role of fiction in modern times by looking at the literary criticism of Frank Kermode, the insights of Tom Wolfe, and the wit of Czeslaw Milosz.
- Book Reviews of The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa and If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho by Anne Carson. And of course a gargantuan 10,000 word review of The Art Instinct by Denis Dutton.
- "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in Language" parts I and II looked at the difficulty of translating poetry and sketched the implications for natural language processing.
- The self-explanatory "Discussion with Arnold Mesches."
- In "Copyright Kills Fashion" and "Infringement and Fair Use" I assess a law review article on the economic effects of intellectual property in the arts and my take on how copyright law, in particular the Fair Use statute, should be interpreted. I also summarize a series of controversial and virtually inalienable rights in parts 1 and 2 of "Artist Moral Rights."
- "Efficient Markets in Art" parts 1 and 2 are relatively short discussions about the movement of art in wide, open markets, how prices are established, how Sotheby's works, etc.
Here is what I am planning for the future:
- Elaboration of the consequences of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which pertain to natural language processing, which include all facets of translation, web search algorithms, voice recognition, etc. It may be somewhat high-level math intensive.
- Explanation of how economics can help inform the old Sapir thesis behind color words in languages and the anthropological studies that have followed it. This, in turn, may have implications for The Art Instinct.
- The consequences of language death and the incentives for language creation, such as creoles.
- Using rudimentary auction theory and comparisons to the wide and varied art auction market in the world, to explain why humanity is always better off with more choices.
- Theorizing the fundamental importance of paradox and discussing its role in the most powerful works of arts.
I hope you will find a four year anniversary post here two years from now.

Jefferson Memorial
Happy New Year. I hope everyone is still doing well on their New Year's Resolutions. Jen has been complaining about how Deloitte frequently takes me to nice restaurants and that because of that I never take her to nice restaurants. So last night we went out to a nice place in the district for 'restaurant week' here in DC. But before that we walked over to the Jefferson Memorial, which is over by the Reagan Airport. We didn't bring our cameras or anything, so the only thing we had to take a picture with was our cell phones, which end up being pretty poor quality. It was still a nice place, and in the summer, they have paddle boats you can go out onto the little lake and enjoy the scenery.
I've been reading a book on Napolean, in part because of the movie about the kid from Idaho, and in part because I wanted to brush up on a little bit of french history, as that is the category I am usually lacking in when I watch Jeopardy. It has been quite interesting so far. If Napolean had been born 3 months earlier, he would've been born an Italian. As it was, Pasquale Paoli sold the island of Corsica to France just before he was born. I'm not sure if he had been born 3 months earlier his future would've changed all that much, but you never can tell.

the pic has nice qualities, poor resolution notwithstanding. It's kind of like an impressionist painting, 21st century style.

i believe that napolean followed what we all follow...our destiny. yeah that job I got is decent pay but probably a little subpar for a college grad but with those hours and all the time off its pretty nice. Ill have to come out there about may or so and we can go catch a game and catch on things. maybe i can drag ol' kenny p out too.

Have you ever considered working for yourself and running your own property business? If you have an interest or experience in property management, it may not be as complicated as you think to establish yourself and experience success.
Many people find the whole process of setting up and running a business daunting but it needn't be. The advantages far outweigh any issues for many who take the time to research appropriate business opportunities to find out whether they would suit them.
The process of finding the right franchise, also known as 'due diligence' is absolutely crucial to ensure that the business opportunity in mind is affordable in terms of set up costs, aligned to your interests and motivations and of course, whether it can deliver the level of profitability you would expect.
Our territories are comprised of at least 100,000 households, with low set up costs and opportunities to expand.
As well as a trusted brand name, we offer continuous help and support to ensure that your business succeeds – support that comes directly from our Managing Director Manjit Virdi, who is extremely approachable and someone that our franchisees have come to rely upon. This is in direct contrast to many other franchises, where the MD is not quite as visible.
Brinder Bains of Redstones Richmond says, "We were able to speak directly to Manjit Virdi, the owner of Redstones before making a decision to join the franchise, which gave us greater insight into the business and helped me to make the right decision, which was to join this prospering property company as a franchisee."
We've had such great feedback from new franchisees on Manjit's communication style that we've now introduced special 'Meet the MD' slots for potential franchisees who would like a one to one, no obligation meeting with Manjit.
Interested individuals should email Manjit directly with the email reference 'Meet the MD' via firstname.lastname@example.com
Also, for further information on our franchise opportunities, visit our Franchise website.

"Funny People" is billed as a comedy, and isn't. Given that there it is about stand up comedians, there are a fair number of funny one liners, but for the most part this is just another iteration of stupid people being unhappy. I expected this to have more substance than Judd Apatow's previous films, and it does, but I also expected it to be at least a bit enjoyable, and it isn't.
"Aliens in the Attic" is mindless and silly. If you know that going in, and go in anyway, it is also fun. There are times when all I want from a movie is an anaesthetic effect, and this movie was just fine for that.

Congrats to the winner. :)
"For I am Bob, the Pick and Place King!… and everyone on facebook will know it!"
Can these be used as rx/tx for a remote controlled project? Initially the project will just need controls (similar to any regular RC car), but soon after, I'll be incorporating sending sensor data from the RC to the "control station" at certain programmed intervals (as well as on demand when necessary). It's basically a mobile sensor platform that will move from point to point, stop, gather data, send data, and wait for commands on where to go next. LOS range of minimum 1 to maximum 5 miles is ideal for this project.
Would these be a good potential solution, or is there something else that might be better in/around this price range? Anyone have any experience with these in an RC project?
I worked for a company called Clark Security Products that had(and I think, still has) a branch in Lexington. Mostly lock hardware(supplier to locksmiths).
Come on!!! I'll work cheap! Will work for electronics components!
I certainly wish I could be there. If only I had a job at Sparkfun, then I'd have reason enough to move to Colorado!
Using this IR Receiver, an Apple remote, Arduino, and a few RGB LED's, I have created a fun remote controlled & portable planetarium of sorts. This receiver and the Apple remote were extremely easy to implement into this fun little project.
I will be using this, along with that apple remote(that I never use with the actual computer) to control household appliances in the near future.
How difficult (or even possible) would it be to have this connected to an Arduino Micro? And, I don't care if Sparkfun charges twice as much as digikey for this. The vast amount of information and education that I get for free from Sparkfun makes it worth supporting them.
This part makes the nunchuck easy to use. In a matter of minutes I was receiving the nunchuck data, and in a few more minutes, controlling a servo with the joystick. I wish it came with the headers already soldered on, but, even with my poor soldering abilities it wasn't a problem - and at less than $2 I wasn't too worried about it. (It would just look much nicer, but that doesn't matter much when the part won't even be visible in the completed project)
Update: Now I have a completely functional Wii Nunchuck computer mouse being used with the Arduino Micro. While it's fun to use, and it will be the replacement mouse for my backup computer(so rarely used that I lost the mouse for it), I doubt I'd use it as the only mouse on my main computer.
No public wish lists :(

Electronics manufacturing services companies have had a mostly rough few years. Even Jabil Circuits
Revenue came in surprisingly strong at $749 million, which was 34% higher than the $561 million level a year ago. Analysts expected just $657 million, so this was a big surprise. Unfortunately the performance on the bottom line was not quite as strong. Net income was $27.5 million or $0.42 per share, which was a bit higher than the $0.38 analysts expected. Benchmark claimed that the strength was very broad-based across all business lines, including the medical, computer, industrial controls, test and instrumentation, and telecom sectors.
Here is where things get a little strange. Benchmark raised guidance for the fiscal year and is now expecting revenue of $2.76 billion to $2.85 billion. Guidance for the third quarter is for revenues of $710 million to $750 million. If you go to the trouble of doing the math, using revenues for the first two quarters, and add in $730 million (the midpoint) for Q3, you find that management expects revenues around $670 million for Q4. This would be a sequential drop in what is normally the strongest quarter of the year. Do they see a slowdown coming?
If a slowdown does materialize, profits can quickly turn to losses in the low-margin EMS sector. An additional risk is that a large percentage of Benchmark's revenue (about 30% during 2005) comes from struggling computer maker Sun Microsystems
I have held shares of Solectron for a couple years and obviously have not been rewarded for my patience. I am attracted to the EMS sector because of the likelihood that the outsourcing trend will continue, but I have been considering switching teams. The top contenders appear to be Jabil and Benchmark, but more due diligence is needed before I decide whether either of these companies is worth owning.

country music: story of my life
1. I have a beautiful apartment that I can use to entertain my friends, and sometimes-just me, that's fun too. My own little sanctuary in a crazy world.
2. Hatem is totally okay with me leaving Subway and has said I'm welcome back anytime. Eventhough I'll probably never take him up on the offer, it's nice to know I'm leaving on good terms.
3. I'm going out for lunch with a friend tomorrow, someone I only know within the four walls of church, I'm really looking forward to that.
4. Going back to school!!! What an awesome opportunity, and to make it even better, they're giving us a USB memory card as a 'welcome to Mohawk' gift. :)
5. I have a drawer full of cards and notes from friends, I'm surrounded by people that love me!
6. I know that I'm where God wants me to be.
7. Eventhough some days I'm lonely and I miss Kyle, I'm really happy about being single. I can't help but think that God has got something INCREDIBLE planned for me, and I'm full of joy just waiting for it.
Life really is good. There's lots more, but I'm going to leave it at seven. The number seven used to be my favourite number, ironically when I was in grade 7. Now my favourite number is 2. It was my number in Rugby and in Soccer, I have two parents that love me, we had 2 cats, 2 dogs and I have 2 brothers, I'm a citizen of 2 countries, the list goes on.
What else is new? Well after posting yesterday morning I got called into work. I got called while I was in the middle of doing dishes at 11:11am-that gave me 49 minutes to get dressed for work (thankfully I'd already showered), go to the college, drop off my books at the library and get to work. Yeah, I was late. They said it was okay, as long as I could get in at some point-so I was an hour late, which considering that I had that much running around to do, isn't bad. I could've been quicker if I had a car-but I'm not bitter...nooo, not at all. I can't wait until I have my full license and have a car, that'll be a glorious day indeed. I will gladly drive my friends around. Until then, thank you so much to those of you that drive me, in particular: MATT-you're amazing. Your always so generous with your driving, and I really appreciate it. Also, Meggs, LA, Megz, Paul, Laura and all my "adopted" moms out here, you've been great.
I should get going now, I really don't feel like moving though. I think I'll go get dressed and maybe go pick up some things at the mall up the street. I'm looking forward to my package from my mom...have you sent it yet, Mami? :)
Love you all!!!
Niki :)

:( Sorry, haven't sent it yet. I'm so busy with the house, yard and apples beside work, I can't seem to get everything done that needs doing. I'll work on putting it together. :) Listen to praise music instead. XOXOXOReplyDelete
ah HA! admit it - deep down in your soul you know country music is evil! *smiles* aahhh, who am i kidding? you'll never say that. but hey if you get that depressed you can always play it backwards for a happy ending!ReplyDelete
i think it's about time i showed my love and appreciation for you in the spirited maeghan way. how do you feel about plastic wrap??!?! *mmwwaaahaaahaaha*
there is nothing wrong with a good country song. even if it is sad, it is still good listening. don't listen to the others, they are all jealous of your musical tastes.ReplyDelete
hhhmmm... it sounds like somebody's pants are on too tight :)ReplyDelete

|Jim, Lance Moore, and Jack.
Holy mackerel has PNOLA ever come a long way since my last volunteer visit six months ago!
Will and Denise, how do you even recognize the place these days?
Director of Operations Jim MacQueen and the new staff have it hummin'. Never before had I attended a welcome home ceremony, and last week, Heidi and company celebrated two! I was honored to be at Debra Green's, eating delicious spaghetti.
Auburn John, music man Ian, my "neighbor"
and (undisclosed) Bridget are all business out in the field. Boss me around! Mellow Gil was the most low maintenance
housemate ever, although I'm sure he'll be glad to have his own place
soon. Happy birthday to Rob, and best of
luck to Christian's Fightin' Tigers and Saints, especially the latter, who won
twice for me on this trip.
Speaking of which, I still can't believe I met four of the Superdome's finest last Sunday. Did you know Jahri Evans is a huge Philly sports fan? That Malcolm Jenkins wears a bow tie even though he doesn't tie one? That Lance Moore had never caught nine passes in a game before the win over the Texans? (Actually, he caught 11 if you count the pair of two-point conversions, both of which he says were the same play the team ran successfully in Super Bowl 44.)
Those guys and second-year donor Roman Harper truly are Saints for their financial support. Thanks to Jim Coningsby for inviting me to meet them, as well as Denise, Sarah and Andrea for spicing up the evening (Andrea sure knows how to work a room). Most of all, God bless the Rush family for their Christian witness, not to mention their outdated contact information (wink). The night was a dream come true for this Yankee Who Dat. I wish the whole PNOLA staff could have been there. They all deserve it.
My next trip will be in conjunction with the Final Four—back in New Orleans for the first time in nine years—when I'm sure fellow hoop-head Kirt and I will have plenty to discuss. And hopefully, there will be more volunteers, so the crew doesn't have to mention me every day on this blog (wink #2).
Now, back I go to the cubicle. Later.
-- Jack

liar, liar, pants on fire
a survey carried out by the website netmums (a forum for stay-at-home-mums-of-one which was slated this week in 'the observer' for interfering with eastenders' cot-death plot) on 5,000 mothers suggests that these poor souls of women are under so much pressure to appear to fellow-mothers like perfect parents that they lie. the report goes on to say that mothers are often made feel "inadequate" when confronting parenting stories, hence the fibs begin. it is solely due to peer pressure as more than 9 out of 10 said they compare themselves with others at the nursery school gate and not with the "celebrity" mothers in the glossy magazines - the ones who have 4 nannies and see their kids once a month even though they live in the same house.
i might be wrong but isn't that just classic female behaviour? with or without a kid? always going out of their way to outdo each other's achievements even if a little fib here and there is needed?
in any case, the bbc bloggers went to see the parenting expert frank furedi - married to ann furedi, the chief executive of british pregnancy advisory service, the uk's largest independent abortion provider - who states that parents were under "profound pressures" from society. he said that a culture of parenting "incites parents to lie and to turn child-rearing into a performance." is it not just in human nature to exaggerate and "perform" to others? nothing new there but he makes a valid point as there are many a parent who can only talk about the difficulties of having a child and how great they, as mothers, are. i have a nickname for such mothers: "netmums".

The temperature is everything between –1 C° to -7C° in Copenhagen. It's snowing like crazy, and that's all the news can talk about. Snow is more important than anything else happening in the world right now, it seems.
But it's so rare getting snow around here in December, and it fits all the Christmas decorations and Christmas feelings perfectly! As I'm sitting by my window, I can't imagine why anyone would complain about it! That being until I have to walk outside myself, and wait for the public transportation, that ofcorse are delayed because of the snow. :(
But right now, that feels so unimportant.
Because I can't help being happy all the time at the moment! I don't even know why! I just feel so positive, calm and loving, and I'm so happy about myself :D
Maybe the 1st of December just started perfectly!
When I woke up, I didn't even notice it was Christmas. I was going to visit my grandparents that day, and so I did. I know my Grandmother always decorate their house, like a Christmas bomb exploded inside it, it's like that every year, but every year, it still manage to make me all exited as soon as I step inside.
The fact that I grew up in this house also make it so amazing to visit in the Christmas time :)
I sat by the window at the dining table. My grandma made tea, put home-baked sugarcoated cinnamon danish bread (whatever that's called in English, haha :P) on the table, together with chocolate cookies, cinnamon biscuits and gingerbread.
On top of all that, I got my advent present (I'm not sure if that's a tradition outside of Denmark, but the older kids get a present every Sunday in Christmas), and some stupid child-calendar thing, but especially the last thing made me feel like a little kid again, and that was just absolutely great <3
I'm never gonna get used to grow up, I think.
Such a wonderful day, such a wonderful start of Christmas!
I felt like smiling that whole day!
This view also made me smile! It's taken by me, from my window!
I was so amazed!
I think that feeling have followed me up until today, and will hopefully continue for .. forever! :D
It's still snowing, there's pretty lights everywhere, Copenhagen is full of Christmas smell (I smell cinnamon and honey roasted almonds fucking everywhere!), and in only 5 days from now, I'll be together with my love again <3
Oh yeah, we have the most crazy ice-taps on our house, they're huge :D The picture is taken one of the first snow-days, they've grown even bigger since! They look super vicious!
Last but not least, I finally took a proper picture of myself, and with the fear of sounding very narcissistic, I like it very much!
Happy Christmas from me! I don't hope I'm gonna make another Christmas-blog :D
Luws <3

In this study, we present a systematic characterization of hair cell loss and regeneration in the chicken utricle in vivo. A single unilateral surgical delivery of streptomycin caused robust decline of hair cell numbers in striolar as well as extrastriolar regions, which in the striola was detected very early, 6 h post-insult. During the initial 12 h of damage response, we observed global repression of DNA replication, in contrast to the natural, mitotic hair cell production in undamaged control utricles. Regeneration of hair cells in striolar and extrastriolar regions occurred via high rates of asymmetric supporting cell divisions, accompanied by delayed replenishment by symmetric division. While asymmetric division of supporting cells is the main regenerative response to aminoglycoside damage, the detection of symmetric divisions supports the concept of direct transdifferentiation where supporting cells need to be replenished after their phenotypic conversion into new hair cells. Supporting cell divisions appear to be well coordinated because total supporting cell numbers throughout the regenerative process were invariant, despite the initial large-scale loss of hair cells. We conclude that a single ototoxic drug application provides an experimental framework to study the precise onset and timing of utricle hair cell regeneration in vivo. Our findings indicate that initial triggers and signaling events occur already within a few hours after aminoglycoside exposure. Direct transdifferentiation and asymmetric division of supporting cells to generate new hair cells subsequently happen largely in parallel and persist for several days.

- Windows Service Monitor: This Powershell script looks at many of my servers and the services that I deem "important". It emails me if it finds any that aren't running. It's a terrible script; I pretty much did a Get-WMIObject query, ran some logic with a where-object statement and then dumped it out to a file. The beast is 900 lines long or something ridiculous (done through copying and pasting, not by hand). I KNOW that there's a more elegant way to do it, but I haven't got the time to spend on it. It does what it needs to do.
- Website Monitor: This script downloads the html code from a couple of web pages, then runs select-string to return a true or false based on whether certain text appears in the code. If the expected code isn't there, the script emails the admins, because something's not right.
- The "Start Patching" script: We run this script before we start patching to turn off our monitoring software. First, it disables our SNMP monitoring software, then it stopd the Spiceworks service to take spiceworks offline. We don't want a bunch of emails that so-and-so system is down. The last thing it does is to disable the above two scheduled tasks, and let me tell you that this took me a bit to figure out. Yeah, you use powershell, but you use it to call a CLI program called schtasks.exe, which I think is pretty weird for Windows Server 2008 R2. You'd think they'd have some powershell commands for the Tasl Scheduler, but no. So here's the syntax for disabling a script:
Invoke-Command $CommandDisable
So first, I put the command into a string variable. Using single quotes forces Powershell to interpret the double quotation marks literally (as part of the string itself). Then I can use Invoke-Command to run the string as a command. Schtasks.exe has a ton of syntax options. Way back when I remember using it to set up scheduled tasks from scratch from a batch file; it's got really great functionality (too bad it hasn't been ported to powershell (grumble grumble). Every Windows computer has schtasks.exe, so if you're curious pop into a cmd shell and type schtasks /?. The help function is layered, so you can type schtasks /Change /? and get help specific to the subset of the command structure. Fun stuff.

Pressure cookers used in the times of our parents or grandparents were nothing less than a nightmare. The stories of lids blowing off and curry flying to the ceiling haunt those who have witnessed it to this day. However, thanks to the advancements in technology we don't have to worry about any of that with the pressure cookers of today. With multiple safety mechanisms incorporated into the design of the modern pressure cookers, the manufacturers have made absolutely certain that the lid will not come off and the pressure cooker will not become the reason for any harm to the user or the kitchen. In addition to ensuring your safety, they also cook your food 70% faster than most other tools, retain much of the nutrients in the food that would otherwise have been lost and also retain much of the moisture and flavor inside your meal. To make your pressure cooking experience even safer, here are a few safety tips you can follow:
Buy the latest model:
Do not purchase the outdated pressure cooker models available at flee stores. These are the old models which cannot guarantee you the safety that are available with the newer models. Also the parts of these old models might not be in top shape such as the gasket or the lid and you might not be able to find replacement for them in the market of today.
Read the instruction manual:
Since every pressure cooker is different in the safety features they include and also in their mechanism, you need to read the instruction manual properly to be able to understand properly how to use it. Only reading the manual will help you use it properly and safely so that you do not make any mistakes.
Check the gasket regularly:
The rubber gasket of the pressure cooker is the part which makes the seal between the lid and the base for the pressure cooker to function. It also requires much attention from your side to be able to maintain a proper seal. You should keep it clean and check that it should not have any cracks and should be in proper shape. If you see any cracks or the rubber has de-shaped and does not make a proper seal any more, you will need to replace it.
Don't overfill the pressure cooker:
You need to carefully measure the liquid that you add to the pressure cooker. Never overfill the pressure cooker because it can risk the food from sticking into the valves which can be problematic for the release of steam. In general, keep the liquid level below 2/3rd the maximum capacity of the pressure cooker.
Release the pressure properly:
Releasing the pressure is a crucial part in pressure cooking and needs to be carried out safely. Once you have turned the pressure cooker off, wait for all the pressure to subside before opening the lid.Leave a Comment

On the heels of success with her first novel The Wedding Gift, Kathleen McKenna brings another outstanding novel to her readers with Nothing Left To Want: A modern fairytale (Night Publishing, 2012).
Nothing Left To Want tells the story of Carey Kelleher, who was born into wealth but lacked the warmth of family love in which many of us are familiar. Her mother is cold and rejecting, her sisters are rarely in the picture, and though Carey adores her father and he indulges her materially, he too is distant and seems to never have time for her.
Carey is the girl who appears to have everything – but all she really desires doesn't cost anything – love and attention. There is much sadness expressed throughout Nothing Left To Want, which Ms. McKenna writes beautifully and allows the reader to emphasize with Carey almost right away (though I wouldn't have minded slapping some sense into her parents more than a few times).
This is not the typical cliche money-doesn't-buy-happiness story; Kathleen McKenna develops Carey into a sympathetic protagonist and Michael the perfect (at least in my opinion anyway) "white knight" who brings her the much-sought happiness Carey spent her entire outward glamour-filled life searching
Nothing Left To Want is not an easy book to read; the story is a very intense one. It is, however, yet another lesson that proves that outside appearances don't always give us the entire picture.

Villa Sociedade is one of the few properties on Cape Cod offering two amazing homes (main house: property #692098 & guest house: property #562848). It is the ideal solution for extended family, friends, and Fido to vacation together. Each house can be rented separately or together. Both homes are private from one another. They are spacious enough to enjoy each other's company and yet have your own privacy. There is subtle luxury, warmth, and inviting charm throughout the homes and grounds.
The Villa is nestled on one of the highest points of Truro hills. Three beautifully landscaped acres on it's own private road makes it a tranquil and picturesque setting with spectacular views of Truro. The beautiful grounds will awaken all of your senses.
Upon entering the ''guest house'' the views from the floor to ceiling sliders are breathtaking. This is an architecturally designed home with air conditioning, beamed ceilings, and a spacious open floor plan.
There are expansive decks on this 4 bedroom, 2 bath, air conditioned contemporary home. The flowing floor plan allows for quiet relaxation or wonderful entertaining.
The main level consists of: living, dining, a fully-applianced galley kitchen, an office area, and two private bedrooms. There are two private bedrooms on this level each with king size beds. A full bath with tub, shower, and loo joins these two bedrooms with access from either bedroom.
A spiral stairway leads to a lower level ''separate apartment'' consisting of: a kitchen with sitting area and laundry room, two private bedrooms: one with two queen size beds and the other with two double size beds and a twin size bed. The Jack and Jill bathroom can be accessed from both bedrooms. There is a private loo and sink for each bedroom with a tub and shower in between for shared use.
The separate and private levels of this home make it ideal for large families. Separate entrances are great for early and late risers. An added perk for children is that they can enjoy the lower level for themselves.
In an ongoing effort to boast our 5 star rating for providing a well-appointed and pristine home, touchless flush toilet systems have been installed.
There is a private and very big outdoor shower, ping pong table, hammock, and tree swing. Linens and bedding are provided. These are a few of the amenities available to you at no extra cost.
Wellfleet and Provincetown are about a 10 - 15 minute drive, and it is perhaps a mile or so to either Corn Hill Beach on the bay side or Long Nook Beach on the ocean. Walking and biking trails through the Cape Cod National Sea Shore are nearby.
Dogs are allowed only with permission.

Thanks for skier Fran Upton for finding this little gem. Fran, does this mean we should be seeing more Mamils in the Michigan Cup ski ranks this season???
Flashy sports cars are out, now no mid-life crisis is complete without a souped-up road bike. Why?
Every weekend, across the nation's rolling countryside, watch out for the Mamils: middle-aged men in lycra.
And ladies, if you have a man at home taking an unusual interest in how you shave your legs, you may have a Mamil in the making too.
Research conducted by the retail analyst Mintel suggests there has been a surge in the number of middle-aged men choosing to get on two wheels.
Given the number of men aged 35-44 who are buying fancy-pants road racing machines, is this a 21st Century mid-life crisis? Has the silence of skinny tyres and carbon fibre framesets replaced the thunderous noise of motorbikes?
Back in the day, when some men with a bit of disposable income reached a certain age, they did some strange things. The grind of the office and home life convinced some that the answer to an expanding midriff lay in a pair of designer jeans and a flashy but cheap Japanese sports car. Teenage daughters ran away screaming. Sons were deprived of the role models seen in adverts for shaving products.
Gents, our womenfolk were right all along. It wasn't a good look. And did it do anything for the beer belly?
But then came a confluence of coincidences that gave a man an option other than looking like a gigolo cruising Italy's glitzy Lake Como.

School District of Janesville, Wisconsin, Selects Infinite Campus
April 14, 2014 – Blaine, Minn. – The School District of Janesville (SDJ), serving 10,400 students in southern Wisconsin, has selected Infinite Campus as its new student information system (SIS). Infinite Campus will give SDJ superior state reporting and extensive functionality. In addition, the company's vision of transforming the classroom using contemporary technology and access to accurate information, set them apart from other vendors.
The state of Wisconsin completed an extensive RFP process to evaluate competing student information systems, searching for one with the richest feature set, lowest cost and greatest vision. Through this process, SDJ chose Infinite Campus, a modern-day single solution that addressed outstanding data needs and lowered annual costs.
According to Dr. Robert Smiley, SDJ Chief Information Officer, "We chose Infinite Campus because of its forward-thinking vision of what an SIS means for raising student achievement. We saw passion, purpose and focus that aligned with our vision for student success, staff productivity, and state and federal reporting. The company's leadership has positioned the product and its features to reflect the way we live, work and teach today."
Coming off a system that was difficult to support, had limited functionality and was not reflective of current processes, SDJ appreciates that Infinite Campus is a one-stop shop. All student data is in a single, centrally hosted database that is convenient, efficient, and available to users in real time.
SDJ maximized its investment by purchasing Campus Food Service, Campus Messenger with Voice, Campus Online Payments, Campus Online Registration and Campus Multi-language Editor. These Premium Products work seamlessly with the Campus SIS to streamline cafeteria options, simplify communication, eliminate cash handling, facilitate smooth enrollment processes and support multiple language translations.
"Bringing so much functionality under one roof will greatly increase the accuracy and speed of every aspect of our work," says Jennifer Erdmann, SDJ Data Specialist.
SDJ is scheduled to go-live on July 1, 2014. They are enthusiastic about working with a company that is designed from the ground up to leverage contemporary software and effectively manage data in the classroom to increase student achievement.
"We have a tremendous opportunity in front of us as we begin to use Infinite Campus to address our long-standing SIS needs," says Dr. Smiley.
