....but right now I feel like I need to whine.
I caught what I thought was a cold just after our wedding (say about March 29th...) well I think it's actually a sinus infection now...the left side of my face is puffy and sore and my eyes hurt and my teeth hurt and my brain hurts and my nose hurts and I want to cry but I can't because I'm afraid crying will hurt too.
I'm done now.
Please continue on with your day.
I've held it in for over 2 weeks now...

The tea that theraflu makes has always worked best for me....I like the apple flavor or the cherry kind. Remind your hubby about the "in sickness or in health" part of your ceremony and he should start rubbing your feet or fluffing your pillows soon!
Feel better!

"World Party," a Rough Guide. Want a reason to travel? Check out the festivals listed here and start packing! The Rough Guide crew was picky in putting this book together: it "only" covers around 45 cultural, religious, and sports festivals happening year-round and worldwide, but they are the best of the best. Spend Christmas or New Year's in the Bahamas and get caught up in Junkanoo, or head to Mongolia in July for the Naadam games. The helpful appendices show the festivals in chronological and geographic order and the full-color photos will whet your appetite for travel.
Sound off on the important issues at
"Felt It! Stitch It! Fabulous!" by Katheryn Tidwell Bieber. Here's a book for the crafty among us who wonder how to reuse old wool sweaters and scarves. Bieber gives a myriad of ideas for bags, pins, shrugs, slippers, mittens and more that use felted knits in contemporary and intriguing ways. Step-by-step instructions (accompanied by full-color photos) help you choose the right sweater, felt it down and start cutting and sewing. Pull out your old sweaters or take a trip to the thrift store and start creating!
"The Elephant in the Playroom," by Denise Brodey. Parenting children with invisible handicaps, such as mental illness, sensory disorders, Asperger's syndrome and autism, can be particularly stressful, as Brodey found out when her son was young. As Brodey worked with therapists and doctors to help her family function, she wondered how parents of other quirky kids managed. The result is this collection of intimate essays about issues from lunch and medication, by parents and occasionally siblings of not-so-normal kids, written in the spirit of camaraderie and sharing.
"Practically Perfect in Every Way," by Jennifer Niesslein. Niesslein, co-founder of the magazine Brain, Child, dives into a 2-year experiment involving continual applications of a variety of self-help books to her life. She doesn't think she's unhappy, per se, but wonders if she could be happier. Along the way, she works on becoming richer and more organized, and a better mother with a more positive outlook. Does it work? Her adventures are both chuckle-worthy (as in the opening chapter, when she pictures herself as a giant liver filtering out the kooky, weird, or harmful advice) and easy to relate to.
"In Spite of the Gods," by Edward Luce. India is a land of contradictions: mind-bogglingly populated, with the bulk of its people living impoverished lives in small villages accompanied by a host of economic and health problems, yet India is on the brink of becoming the world's third largest economy. It is the largest democratic government in the world but is rife with bribery and government corruption. Balancing facts and stories, Luce, a longtime journalist in India, writes engagingly about the land he loves in this fascinating book and does an excellent job of untangling the various threads for readers.
"Kinfolks," by Lisa Alther. Puzzled about her grandmother's simultaneous pride in her blue-blood Virginian heritage and refusal to maintain contact with her family in her home state, Alther begins climbing her family tree. As a child in east Tennessee, she'd been frightened by the baby-sitter's tales of the Melungeons, who are (according to the sitter) dark-skinned, two-thumbed, cave-dwelling, child-snatchers. As an adult, she discovers that this multi-racial (and, yes, sometimes six-fingered) group is the secret her grandmother has been keeping. Part family history, part American history, this will keep you smiling even as you begin to wonder about your own roots.
"The Hazards of Space Travel," by Neil F. Comins. With a handful of tourists to its name, the age of space tourism is still in its infancy. Yet here is Comins with a book about all the things that can go wrong. Despite its morbid bent, this is a compelling read, especially for those who like to pick science fiction apart. Comins covers the obvious problems (such as space debris and cosmic radiation) as well as things you've probably never considered (such as sleep deprivation, strained vocal chords and hearing loss from the constant noise of the craft), and that's only in space. Once tourists land on planets and moons, the dangers increase, from landslides and volcanic activity to having the "solid" ground melt from under you. Based on solid science, yet interwoven with entries from a fictional future space traveler, this is an intriguing look at life in space.

Ok I've created an online photo album that gets its images from a database. I have a thumbnail gallery on the right, that is filled by first querying the database... and naturally each thumbnail you click on it displays the full sized image within a div using a javascript function.
My question is this...
I want to specify a maximum height and width for this image.
I've tried:
max-height: 480px;
max-width: 640px;
and...the same for the img selector, as well as a td and table selector and still no luck.
I want the full size image to be displayed BUT not if it is bigger than 640X480 I want the height and width to be capped at that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ry Cooder - I, Flathead
(Nonesuch/Perro Verde) £11.99
The concept album is usually an accident waiting to happen, so Ry Cooder is pushing his luck making three in a row. I, Flathead is the concluding part of his 'California Trilogy', following 2005's Chavez Ravine and last year's My Name Is Buddy, and it's a tribute to Cooder's talents that it's a match for either.
I, Flathead is the concluding part of his 'California Trilogy', following 2005's Chavez Ravine and last year's My Name Is Buddy, and it's a tribute to Cooder's talents that it's a match for either.
Like its predecessors this is a retrospective tribute to the Golden State's dispossessed, but where Buddy focused on the dustbowl refugees of the Depression and Woody Guthrie's legacy, and Chavez on the racial melting pot of postwar Los Angeles, I, Flathead celebrates the underbelly of 1960s California, a world of home-built drag racers on the desert salt flats, of honky-tonk dance halls, trailer parks and fairground freak shows. There's even an accompanying 95-page novella to amplify the storyline.
Cooder's narrator is Kash Buk, a petrolhead who trades in his 'flathead' dragster for life as a roadhouse country musician. It's a loose biography, though, that rarely holds the songs hostage (as Buddy arguably did). The musical storyline is a breezy mixture of R&B, Tex-Mex and country. Its car songs allow Cooder to cut loose - the opening 'Drive Like I Never Been Hurt' is all twang and mariarchi horns, and 'Ridin' With The Blues' recalls his early days riding guitar shotgun with the Stones.
Kash Buk's career brings in country themes. 'Johnny Cash' offers playful homage to the man in black, 'Steel Guitar Heaven' and 'Spayed Kooley' honour the lesser-sung heroes of 'western swing', while the entire record is speckled with gleeful quotes from pop history, from Motown, country, even Springsteen.
'Filipino Dance Hall Girl' is a south of the border love song, reuniting Cooder with accordionist Flaco Jimenez, while Buk's hard-living life is poignantly summed up as 'an old house trailer, two rusty Cadillacs and 5,000 country music songs'.
There are a couple of awkward narrative moments but they're soon forgotten in a project that affirms Cooder's acute sense of place and musical history, and his fiery ambition to make 'vernacular American music'.

We woke this morning to snow flakes falling and looking like small white feathers drifting from the morning sky, ther's lots of fluffy white flakes floating in the breeze and landing on the trees…a hush embraces out little paradise "tranquillity" Nature covers her in a delicate white coat.
The wax-eye turns his face up to the sky as if to say, "why oh why!!! is my apple frozen today!!!".
I love the snow, it feels timeless and so silent and you can not beat it's beauty. I feel for our little feathered friends and have been out several times today to brush the snow from their apples. I have even resorted to making them some warm oats with sugar water and the feeding table has become a feeding frenzy. I have put some seed in the open shed for the sparrows so that they all get enough to eat. Most of the ground is covered in a white blanket concealing the natural foods they would normally eat. So far I have spent the day feeding birds and capturing the magic the snow brings. Our poor hard drive is going to be groaning….

Broadcast in seven languages by the EuroNews channel, Futuris is a TV magazine about the latest research projects in Europe. It consists of short reports that only last a few minutes. The episode screened at the Festival takes us to Kenya, Africa, where water-disinfection techniques developed in Europe have been used by a community of 40,000 Masai for 11 years now.
The process starts with water fetching, traditionally a woman's chore. The village women set out for the nearest water source, which may well be one hour's walk from their dwellings.
When they get back, water is poured into plastic bottles and placed on the roofs of the huts, exposed to the Sun's rays. In a few hours, heat and UV rays combined reduce the water's microbial load - which is usually very high - and the risk of infection.
This method has proved useful to limit the onset of diseases like cholera, gastroenteritis and dysentery, caused by water micro-organisms, and is therefore a viable alternative to other disinfection systems such as filtration or chlorination, hardly available in poor countries. The only piece of equipment required is a recyclable plastic bottle.
Meanwhile in Almeria, Spain, physicists and chemists are investigating more efficient, sustainable and economic ways to produce large volumes of drinking water within the framework of the Sodis (Solar Disinfected) Water project.

In astrology, the Moon is your comfort zone. You Moon sign hints at what kinds of things feed your spirit, and your instinctive nature.

There's some mystery to muse on with the Moon. The Moon is a Muse, in fact.

It holds clues to your ancestral heritage, past lives, and the emotional atmosphere that shaped you.

Were you born at the Full Moon? The New Moon? Your Moon phase reveals more about your emotional nature.

Find out about your Moon by looking for the symbol on the birth chart.

Here are the Moon Signs:

Aries Moon

When you're stressed out, you've got to take action! You feel well-being when expressing emotions in a fiery, direct (often impulsive) way. You show love through actions, and need to stay challenged to be happy.

Taurus Moon

You need your creature comforts, and don't like to be rushed. You thrive in situations that feel stable, while being nourished by the rhythm of the day. You have the patience to build things up slowly, and is grounded in the pleasures of the senses.

Gemini Moon

If you're anxious, you start scanning the 'net or flipping through books or magazines. You get a warm feeling from the colorful exchange of ideas, stories, jokes and interesting tidbits. You like to keep moving, and engage with others lightly.

Cancer Moon

You never forget a slight and have a pre-emptive attitude to rejection. Yet, you find it natural to share emotions and nurture others at an intimate level. You are sensitive, changeable, imaginative, with an instinctual need to return to home base for nourishment.

Leo Moon

You rage at times, but are mostly naturally cheerful. Has a strong need for self-expression and the enthusiastic approval of others. Can be generous, a natural at friendship, playfully childlike, and supportive of the dreams of others.

Virgo Moon

If things are untidy, you're liable to freak out and not be able to relax. You are a creature of habits who loves to sort, edit, analyze and keep refining the routine. You have an instinct for purifying the self, and can be a healing force for others.

Libra Moon

You've got an easy-breezy way about you, and are a natural in a twosome. You're a lover of all things beautiful and harmonious, with an instinct for creating balance in relationships. You need the mirror of the other, in order to see all the dimensions of who you are.

Scorpio Moon

It's said (in astrology books), that you'll experience a few life-changing events, and possibly marry more than once. You're intense emotionality can bring turbulence, but also plunge deep into relationships. You sense the hidden reality of life, and has a sixth sense that goes beyond intuition.

Sagittarius Moon

You keep a cool head in a crisis, and can often charm your way out of trouble. You're a true adventurer at heart, with the world as home, exploring and learning throughout life. You're nourished by inspiring ideas, curious people, and actively pursuing new experiences.

Capricorn Moon

When you're stressed out, you throw yourself into a satisfying project that's a worthy goal. You find it comforting to work, as part of an innate need to achieve and experience worldly success. You can be deeply private and reluctant to share feelings, but with a reservoir of emotional depth to draw from.

Aquarius Moon

You're naturally a beat apart from others emotionally, but that doesn't mean you're not friendly. You have a detachment that lends a broad, abstract vision, making them able to see how things are interconnected. You can be self-contained, and solitary, but comes alive in the larger sphere of groups.

Pisces Moon

You often feel a profound lack of boundaries, which makes them vulnerable to all the energies in the environment. You're imaginative, and aware of the subtle ways we're all connected. You're nourished through creativity and the search for a mystical connection to spirit.

Mathematics and Mind (Logic and Computation in Philosophy)
Those inquiring into the nature of mind have long been interested in the foundations of mathematics, and conversely this branch of knowledge is distinctive in that our access to it is purely through thought. A better understanding of mathematical thought should clarify the conceptual foundations of mathematics, and a deeper grasp of the latter should in turn illuminate the powers of mind through which mathematics is made available to us. The link between conceptions of mind and of mathematics has been a central theme running through the great competing philosophies of mathematics of the twentieth century, though each has refashioned the connection and its import in distinctive ways. The present collection will be of interest to students of both mathematics and of mind. Contents include: "Introduction" by Alexander George; "What is Mathematics About?" by Michael Dummett; "The Advantages of Honest Toil over Theft" by George Boolos; "The Law of Excluded Middle and the Axiom of Choice" by W.W. Tait; "Mechanical Procedures and Mathematical Experience" by Wilfried Sieg; "Mathematical Intuition and Objectivity" by Daniel Isaacson; "Intuition and Number" by Charles Parsons; and "Hilbert's Axiomatic Method and the Laws of Thought" by Michael Hallett.

Enrile: Trillanes China trips are associated to $70-B loan to implement China's projects in PH
UPDATED 10/22/2016 — Senator Juan Ponce Enrile on Friday said he got data that the stealthy trip of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to China, just before he volunteered to be a back-channel mediator for the Philippine government is associated with the $70-billion loan guaranteed by Beijing to the Philippines.
Loaning mystery to his main goal, the Senate has no record that Trillanes looked for consent for any of his six excursions to China, Enrile said. Trillanes utilized a common passport and declined to have this stamped by migration.
"I have gotten data this has something associated with the $70-billion credit that should have been guaranteed by the Chinese government to the President to execute China's tasks," Enrile said in a TV meeting.
In any case, Enrile said he had not confirmed the data, but rather demanded that an exceptionally dependable source offered it to him after his confrontation with Trillanes on the floor in the Senate entire last Wednesday.
"I have not confirmed this, but rather I got this data," Enrile said.
"I was pondering, how might this man . . . I've been in the administration for a long, long time. I think you can't go to China and simply burst into the Foreign Affairs Ministry of China, and make a visit to them, none, no one," he advance clarified.
Trillanes' contacts
Enrile uncovered that some Chinese agents in the nation, who had contacts in China, organized Trillanes' outings to China, for which he neither looked for nor got authorization from the Senate President, and utilized a common travel permit.
"His contacts? I was told [they're] Chinese agents in the nation, who had contacts in China," Enrile said.
Enrile said that when he learned of Trillanes' excursion to China, he promptly checked Senate records to check whether he has authorization to go, following under the law, he ought to have requested consent, for record purposes.
"Later on I discovered, and I checked the records of the Senate and . . . there is no record of his treks to China. What's more, I called him for the record of all his voyages," Enrile said.
He said each congressperson leaving the nation, whether government-financed or secretly subsidized, ought to have the consent of the Senate President.
"(I have to give a travel grant) indeed, I need to compose the DFA when I would give him a travel grant. Likewise, I confirmed this - that Senator Trillanes, in his excursions to China, declined to have his international ID stamped. In this way, there is no record of it in the migration office," he said.
"Why the undercover action? That is the issue that entered my psyche. As a Filipino, I will uncover this, it is my obligation," Enrile said.
"The movement office ought to have the capacity to check this, that is the data that I got," he included.
President not at issue
Enrile likewise said nobody can blame the President for requesting that Trillanes do back-directing in the oceanic line with China that began in April, in light of the fact that the CEO needs all the assistance and exertion of all administration authorities to defuse the fermenting pressure over the Scarborough Shoal being asserted by China.
"You can't blame the President for attempting to discover an answer for a national issue, for example, what we're having with China," Enrile said.
In any case, Enrile contended, the individual endowed by the President with any mission, as Trillanes, must practice first attentiveness.
"When you go to a nation to manage a remote force, you should inform the international safe haven. That is the motivation behind the consulate. In that nation, he ought to have told the international safe haven to caution them that he's there for a mission and he ought to have brought no less than a dependable authority of the government office to be observer to what he is going to say and what will be said to him to take notes. Thus that the general population he would contact have records in composing; this is business. What's more, that is the hazardous piece of this entire thing," he clarified.
Brady notes not developed nor arranged
Enrile focused on that, in opposition to Trillanes' declaration on Thursday, he didn't create the notes of Philippine Ambassador to China Sonia Brady which contained the discussion amongst her and Trillanes.
Enrile read the Brady Notes after Trillanes left the session lobby last Wednesday when Enrile began flame broiling him about his back-channel work and what he had been saying in regards to DFA Secretary Albert del Rosario, as contained in the Brady Notes.
Enrile said the Brady Notes is not characterized, but rather there are two separate wraps with data which he would not like to uncover.
"Unquestionably this present Brady's report, I didn't imagine this. I couldn't in any way, shape or form [do it]; no psyche, regardless of how great, can design the points of interest here," he said.
"What's more, coincidentally, this is not a state mystery. This has no national security [implications], in opposition to the announcement of some individuals who are oblivious of the term national security," included Enrile, who served in the resistance and military area in different limits for a long time.
Enrile said that Brady, being a prepared negotiator, and as an obligation, brings down notes to record everything happening in her ambassadorial post since she is the modify self image of the President, and the official illustrative of the nation in Beijing.
"Brady is a prepared negotiator, it's her obligation to make a report. On the off chance that you are an administration official, holding an ambassadorial position, a change inner self of the president, you are the president in that nation. You speak to the state and the president. In the event that you are an individual from the Cabinet, any discussion that you have with a connection to national interests, particularly with any semblance of Brady, you need to note," he advance clarified.
"Yes, I am certain the notes originated from Brady. I can swear on it," he said, including that there is "another record . . . in Tagalog, and this contains harming explanations not about the Scarborough issue. The issue is about the general population, the official individuals of the administration taking care of it," Enrile closed.

Sarah and Phil Marshall have launched the campaign, I Give You My Heart, following Sarah's diagnosis with an extremely rare and serious condition – idiopathic pulmonary hypertension.
Sarah, 33, said: "In a way I was relieved that they knew what was wrong with me. But it is pretty scary when you realise what you are up against.
"It is not a particularly good diagnosis. There is a chance you are going to die relatively soon."
Before the diagnosis Sarah and Phil had been keen walkers and travellers. Now, just walking a few hundred metres is a challenge for Sarah.
She explained: "Everything you planned on doing in the future, absolutely everything I would have liked to have done has changed. You have to reassess your life completely. At this point I am just happy to be alive."
Sarah, who worked as a teacher before her illness, is not currently on the list for an organ donation but this could change if her condition worsens in the future.
Phil, who works as an assistant manager at Barclays in Banbury, has embarked upon a challenge of completing four long-distance events and instead of asking people to donate cash he is asking them to pledge to become organ donors.
Phil said: "I hope it gets people to have a think about what they would like to happen to their organs when they die. It is a fantastic opportunity to get people to pledge to give somebody life, to give them a whole new lease of life."
Phil's challenge begins with the Silverstone Marathon in March, followed by Milton Keynes Marathon and the Parish Walk – an 85-mile walk around the parishes of the Isle of Man – ending with a 100-mile race in August.
So far this year Phil, 30, has run 230 miles in training and he believes he will have completed more than 1,000 by the time he crosses the finish line in the August race.
n The couple have set up a website where supporters can make their pledge. Visit www.igiveyoumyheart.org

WoozWeekly has the exclusive story ZEENAWOOZ DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!
You heard it here first! You thought Mrs. Neon and the Pretty Little Mystery were gone for good, but your dedicated Woozarazzi has sniffed up some evidence that things are FAR FROM OVER with this cruel cafeteria lady.
While rummaging through the garbage in Woozworld High's cafeteria (no need to worry about that, all part of the job), I found the following slop-stained note from Mrs. Neon to her past self, ZeenaWooz!
Zeena – be careful of your image, or you may end up a cafeteria lady for real! MW is your rival for good reason… and you know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Our future is bright, but you can make it brighter! Your future self – ME – depends on it. And I take myself very seriously!
Mrs. Neon
ZeenaWooz must be cooking up a crazy scheme to try to take over for MyaWooz! A source close to the girl-gone-bad spilled the beans:
"Zeena is the definition of competition. For WNTM, you do not want to get in the way of her dreams. Her plan is to be Woozworld's Next Top Model and start sabotaging Mya from the get-go. The real queen will reign!"
Speaking of the Woozen we love to hate, WoozWeekly has an exclusive scoop on Zeena's LOVE LIFE! That's right, Woozens, Zeena was seen at the hottest new restaurant in Woozworld – with a new beau on her arm. And who is this lucky gent?
And we thought Max was a broken-hearted ex, still struggling to get over his breakup. As if it wasn't enough for this superhero-loving gamer to skip Jenny's party, it seems clear that he's now wooing her enemy, ZeenaWooz!
We reached out to both Zeena and MaxWooz for comment and haven't received a reply.
I'll keep you updated as this story unfolds!
Your Woozarazzi

Rain ruined the opening round of matches in the Sussex Cricket League on Saturday with nearly the entire programme wiped out.
The majority of matches were abandoned: some without a ball being bowled while others were settled using limited overs or 20/20 rules.

A Bunny Who Refuses Food Is A Bunny In Crisis!
(Be sure to keep a copy of this information in your emergency kit.)
be times in your bunny's life when he rejects food or a favorite treat. What your bunny is telling you is that he feels sick. If you are not prepared to respond immediately, your bunny may suffer a painful death in as few as 12 hours. Routinely give your bunny the opportunity to tell you he is sick by offering a favorite food in the morning and evening.
Humans who feel sick can wait and see if they improve and will often feel better later. That doesn't work with bunnies. When a bunny refuses food, he's already entered a downward spiral. Muscles that push food through the intestines are slowing, bacteria are proliferating, creating gas, pain is building and body temperature is dropping, leading to shock and death. (Rabbits can not "burp" or vomit, so painful gas becomes trapped inside.)
When your bunny rejects food, you must:
1. Stabilize your bunny using the steps
listed below in red
2. Take your bunny to a rabbit knowledgeable vet as quickly as possible.
A veterinarian specializing in rabbits will take x-rays to identify the problem. X-rays are costly but necessary so your vet can see if your bunny has indigestion, gas, blockage, a tooth spur that is cutting into the cheek or tongue, stones, or something else. Also, your vet can do things that you cannot do at home, such as giving fluids and prescription pain medication. You should try to stabilize your bunny until you get to the vet. To do so, you must have our
Bunny Emergency Kit
(available at our shelter) or make your own.
Prepare your emergency kit now for the inevitable crisis.
You should have:
- Electric heating pad or microwaveable heating disc
(if use electric pad,
make sure bunny can not get to wire)
- Infant gas drops (simethicone):
Baby GasX or Walmart's Equate brand is fine.
- Bayer orange-flavored, chewable, 81mg. aspirin:
(also called baby aspirin or low dose adult aspirin). Any brand is fine, but the Bayer orange flavor dissolves the best.
- Syringes:
(no needles, just the plastic syringe part) 1cc/1ml syringes (1cc is the same as 1ml) and 10cc/10ml feeding syringes (We like the Monoject brand for feeding, they will not clog.)
- Digital thermometer with a flexible tip (no glass)
that will give you a quick reading in 10 seconds or less. Have your bunny vet show you how to hold bunny safely and take temp so as to not cause injury. Practice taking your bunny's temperature now so you can do it in a crisis. Come to any of our meetings and tell Joy Gioia, Marjorie Manahan, Bobbie Shewmaker or Pat Daly that you want to learn how to take a temperature and we will help you practice. If that's not possible, here is a link to a video on how to take a rabbit's temperature:
- Lubricant
to apply to the tip of the thermometer. Use any alcohol-free lubricating jelly.
- Baby powder with cornstarch as main ingredient
Plain cornstarch
(NOT talc, NO perfumed powders) When your bunny tears a nail, apply dry cornstarch to stop the bleeding. Also good to knead into and dissolve fecal crust on a bunny butt. Avoid bathing a bunny butt unless absolutely necessary.
- Food to give
only if your vet tells you to syringe-feed your bunny
Baby food squash or canned, 100% pure unflavored pumpkin (not pie filling). Your vet may sell you a bag of Critical Care, an Oxbow food product. Whether feeding squash, pumpkin or Critical Care, dilute it with water to a runny state so it can be swallowed. A sick bunny won't accept a chewy glob. We like to use 1 part Critical Care to 3 parts water. To avoid choking, do NOT just shoot the food into the mouth. Slowly push the syringe contents into the side cheek area of the mouth so bunny has a chance to position it and swallow.
Critical Care becomes toxic after 24 hours, so make it fresh daily.
If bunny has temp under 99, do not syringe feed. Bunny may not be able to swallow and food may dribble into his lungs,
resulting in death.
Do All Of The Following Immediately When Your Bunny Refuses Food
1. Call your rabbit knowledgeable vet - a vet experienced in rabbit care.
State that you have an emergency, the symptoms, including temperature, and that your bunny needs to be seen immediately.
Take bunny's temperature.
Normal is 101° – 103°. A low temp (under 99°) can be deadly and you need to warm your bunny so he doesn't go into shock. Moreover, you must warm an unresponsive bunny until he is alert enough to swallow gas drops and dissolved aspirin or it will dribble into his lungs.
However, if your bunny's temp was over 103°, suspect infection and do not use heating pad - you have a major emergency; get to your vet immediately.
If he has low temp, put a heating pad or heating disc on your lap, cover it with a towel and place bunny on it. Use a low or medium setting because a bunny's skin is delicate and will burn.
If a heating pad is too hot to hold your hand on for 30 seconds, it's too hot for your bunny. In a pinch, you can heat towels in the clothes dryer then wrap your bunny. Do not force bunny to stay on the heating pad; bunny will let you know when he no longer needs the heat. When bunny has been warmed, you can proceed to steps 3 & 4.
In reference to the following directions:
DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING ORALLY (by mouth) TO AN UNCONSCIOUS OR SEMI-CONSCIOUS PET
Gas relief
Fill a 1cc syringe from the bottle of gas drops. Insert
in the side of bunny's mouth and gradually empty the syringe. Gas drops will do no harm. You can give a dose every hour for 3 doses, then a dose every 3 to 8 hours.
Pain relief.
If you are heading to the vet and will get there within 3 hours, don't give aspirin because the vet will give a more powerful pain med. Otherwise, for bunnies weighing
5 pounds and more,
tablet of Bayer orange-flavored, 81mg aspirin in 1cc water. Draw it into a 1cc syringe and insert tip in the side of bunny's mouth and gradually empty the syringe. For bunnies
under 5 pounds,
tablet in 1cc water.

More Symptoms Of A Pet Emergency: If a pet develops an emergency problem, care should not be delayed.
Prompt veterinary care gives a pet the best chance of a successful recovery. Situations that demand immediate veterinary care for your rabbit include:
Bleeding (more than just a scratch or torn nail)
Blue, Purple or Pale Gums
Breathing Difficulties
Decreased Consciousness
Inability to Urinate/Defecate
Ingestion of Toxins (including poisonous plants) or Medications
Open-Mouth Breathing
Profuse Diarrhea (not simply loose cecals)
Rejection of food

WD junks SCSI as HDD wars take toll
3400 layoffs at Seagate and WD
Seagate is issuing redundancies to 2900 workers in Thailand, and smaller rival Western Digital is putting 420 staff on the job scrap heap. Seagate says the staff cuts are the latest round of the reorganisation last year which will see the company reduce its 77,000 headcount by ten per cent this September. As an indicator of financial health, Western Digital's lay-offs look more serious -- the company is throwing in the towel in the SCSI disk sector, citing declining share and increased competition in what it calls the enterprise storage market. WD will concentrate all its efforts now on building HDDs for desktop PCs. The company today announced that its net loss for the quarter ended 31 December, is expected to be in the range of $67-70 million, compared with Wall Street forecasts of $100 million "before special charges". It looks like WD did well out of the consumer PC sales rush, if not enough to actually make a profit. Seagate also beat analyst predictions in its most recent fiscal quarter, but it says the hard drive market remains very competitive. Meanwhile, Quantum's hard disk drive group announced its figures for its third quarter ended 26 December 1999. Sales were $889 million on record shipments of 8.7 million units. Net income was $5.2 million. The company attributed the sequential improvement in gross margins (Q2: 2.9 per cent; Q3: 11.7 per cent) to better industry conditions and improved execution. The HDD group generated $71 million in cash from operations in the December quarter and achieved a record 34 inventory turns. Adaptec, a company that knows how to make money from SCSI, also posted some rosy results yesterday, announcing net income for its Q3 up 27 per cent to $31.7 million. The company has laid off 975 staff in the past two years. ®

Forged Documents
Why is CBS Circling the Wagons?
Perhaps because someone has committed a crime.
18 USC 506 covers the forging of government agency seals (ie: components of the military)
§ 506. Seals of departments or agencies
(a) Whoever--
(1) falsely makes, forges, counterfeits, mutilates, or alters the seal of any department or agency of the United States, or any facsimile thereof;
(2) knowingly uses, affixes, or impresses any such fraudulently made, forged, counterfeited, mutilated, or altered seal or facsimile thereof to or upon any certificate, instrument, commission, document, or paper of any description; or
(3) with fraudulent intent, possesses, sells, offers for sale, furnishes, offers to furnish, gives away, offers to give away, transports, offers to transport, imports, or offers to import any such seal or facsimile thereof, knowing the same to have been so falsely made, forged, counterfeited, mutilated, or altered,
shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
UPDATE: Someone at Free Republic doesn't think this is applicable because there is no official seal on the documents. I agree that there is no graphical seal, but generally consider a signature (especially when placed above a title conferred by an agency of the United States and representing an authority conferred by the agency only to that title) to be a seal. I may be wrong, but think it presents an interesting question that deserves further fleshing out.
UPDATE: Eugene Volokh has more on the subject of criminal violations and discusses two potential state laws
UPDATE: Prof. Volokh emails to say he doesn't think a signature is a seal. A quick search of case law on Lexis looking for "signature w/10 seal" returns 1200 cases, the first few pages of which deal with them seperatly. Not dispositive, and I'll research more fully later, but perhaps the Prof. is right again and alas, I am wrong.

The Nigeria Universities Commission yesterday Monday sealed off the premises of World Mission University, Abraka, declaring its activities illegal and without approval from the regulatory body.
The tertiary institution located on a single storey building along the old Sapele road in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area has a student's population of 84 spread across various disciplines such as Nursing and Health Care, Information Technology, Building and Electrical Technology, Mass Communication, and Computer Science. The school also runs diploma programmes in vocational studies.
The National Coordinator of the institution, Pastor Hannah Lucky, said the higher institution started operations in 2010 in Benin-City, Edo State, awarding diploma certificates to 5000 graduates, adding that campuses affiliated with the University exists in Oghara and Sapele in Ethiope West and Sapele Local Government Area, respectively.
She said Nursing and Healthcare has 42 students, Information Technology 12, Building and Electrical Technology 6, Media Department, 4 ,while Computer Science and Vocational Studies has 34 students.
She said the school's proprietor was in the process of obtaining approval from the Nigeria Universities Commission (NUC), adding that the institution will award degrees to its first batch of deserving students in August 2016.
Mrs. Lucky said lecturers who teach at the institution are well qualified volunteers, stressing that the school has created training centres for vocational courses.
But Head, Closure Team (NUC), Moses Awe, who led a four- man team, lamented that the rise in illegal universities was on the increase despite government's efforts at expanding access to tertiary education. He said, 'It has become a notorious menace in Nigeria despite the efforts of both the federal and state governments in expanding access to the university education. You are aware that as of today in Nigeria now, we have over 140 universities with the proprietorship of federal and state universities. You are also aware of the National Open University, which is also an extension of expanded access'.
He said the school was running degree programmes under a different cover 'of granting scholarship and organising empowerment programmes', adding the tertiary education body has been monitoring the activities of this institution in the last seven months.
Continuing, he said, 'And we have confirmed affirmatively that they have been running degree programmes even ridiculously in the medical sciences, like you see today; they are even running courses in nursing. As you can see, in this environment, where is the medical hospital? Where is the structure for degree programme? The so-called international body is just a cover, there is no basis for it.'
He said NUC has, through several enlightenment campaigns, educated prospective students of the dangers posed by operators of such fraudulent higher institutions as it is not recognized by the body.
His words, 'We have been going round for the past 10 years, we are constantly engaging in public enlightenment, telling Nigerians, parents, prospective degree students in Nigeria that they should not approach illegal universities and we, as responsible organization, with mandate of law to protect integrity of qualification of degree in Nigeria, we have been doing our best to tell every Nigeria that don't approach fake institutions that are not approved for degree programmes.'
Awe said the NUC has in the last one year closed down six illegal universities across the country, adding that many of such illegal schools are located around the Federal Capital Territory and the neighboring states.
'In the last one year, we have closed about six illegal universities across Nigeria but most of them are within Abuja and the neighbouring states,' he said, stressing that in 2014, the NUC, after a tour of the country, succeeded in closing down 25 universities.
He attributed the success recorded in recent times to the new strategic partnership with the ICPC,adding that ten cases are before the court in the last one year.

ARABIAN TEA JASMINE (Sambac) Maid of Orleans
Jasminum sambac this listing is for 12 to 18 inch, multi-branched plants, BUDDING. Sambac is, arguably, the most fragrant jasmine of all. an evergreen, easy-to-grow shrub, that often reaches 5 ft in height in pots. Sambac is the Primary jasmine used in infusions, teas, perfumes, and flavorings. Arabian jasmine is native to India. We have included our favorite jasmine recipes in this listing
BLOOMING TIME: Arabian Jasmine blooms all year long in a warm environment, indoors or out. Flowers are ¾ to 1 inch across and are powerfully fragrant.
CULTURE: Jasminum sambac needs full sun to partial shade with intermediate to warm temperatures. The potting soil should consist of 2 parts peat moss to 2 parts loam to 1 part sand. Keep the soil moist for optimum growth. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer. Some branches may reach 6 to 8 ft long if not pruned. Pruning helps keep an abundance of flowers, since flowers are produced on new wood.
MAKING JASMINE TEA: You can make your own jasmine tea. Buy good quality Loose green or oolong tea leaves to use as a base. Next, have plenty of jasmine blossoms on hand. You will need a supply of fresh blossoms, not dried flowers. When the jasmine blossoms are open, mix the jasmine flowers with your green tea leaves in a zip-lock bag. Leave in a warm place for half a day , remove the flower blossoms before brewing tea. Repeat these steps with the same tea leaves to achieve a heavier infusion of jasmine. Brew this tea the same way you would ordinary green tea leaves
MAKING JASMINE RICE: Place rice in a zip-lock bag and add fresh Sambac Flowers. The Dry rice will absorb the fragrance and flavor of the jasmine. Remove flowers before cooking.
MAKING JASMINE HONEY: Simply add fresh flowers to your honey and place the jar in the sun for 3 to 4 hours. The flowers can be left in the honey or removed, ..it is your preference.
HISTORY: In China, the flower is processed and used as the main ingredient in jasmine tea (茉莉花茶). It is also the subject of the folk song Mo Li Hua, which was censored by the People's Republic of China due to its association with the 2011 Chinese protests spurred by the Jasmine revolution of Tunisia. In Cambodia, the flower is used as an offering to the Buddha. During flowering season which begins in June, Cambodians thread the flower buds onto a wooden needle to be presented to the Buddha. In Hawaii, the flower is known as pikake, and are used to make fragrant leis. The name 'pikake' is derived from the Hawaiian word for "Peacock", because the Hawaiian Princess Kaʻiulani was fond of both the flowers and the bird.

Unlikely missed dunk by Oregon's Elgin Cook goes through the rim but pops out
It wasn't just a hostile crowd, high altitude and a ultra-motivated opponent Oregon had to overcome to remain undefeated Thursday night.
Utah also threw trick rims at the Ducks.
With the score tied at 64 and 4:16 remaining in overtime, Oregon's Elgin Cook rose for an emphatic two-handed slam that had the Ducks bench leaping up and down and pumping their fists with excitement. The celebration turned to surprise a split second later when the ball slingshotted back out of the basket despite going through the rim and three-quarters of the way down the net.
To the referees' credit, they made the proper call not to count the basket. The NCAA rulebook states a shot only counts when "a live ball that is not a throw-in enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through." In this case, it appears the recoil of the rim foiled Cook after he violently snapped it down.
Bizarre as Cook's missed dunk was, he should take solace that he's not the first player to experience such buzzard's luck.
In November, Butler's Kameron Woods had a dunk go three-quarters of the way down the net and come out on a coast-to-coast drive against Vanderbilt. Almost the identical thing happened to Kansas State's Jamar Samuels in and Texas A&M's Kourtney Roberson back in Jan. 2011.
It was probably easier for Cook to chuckle about his bizarre missed dunk once Oregon emerged with a hard-fought win. Damyean Dotson's steal and last-second fast-break dunk gave the Ducks a 70-68 victory.

I happened to get two mirrors which is handy for me and means I can throw one in my bag for on the go!
Inside is some cute postcards illustrated by Viktorija Semjonova and I really like them!
So inside I have
1 - Benefit They're Real Tinted Primer. I've never used a mascara primer so this could be interesting to try. There has been lots of benefit samples lately so I hope that changes soon.

Hmmm... I'm sat here with Dave Beckett trying to figure out what this might mean. Here's a possibly sneaky interpretation: the resource "in itself" must have those properties, but an RDF implementation (database, serialised graph etc.) might not have representations of those properties, even though they (in some sense) exist in the abstract. So, the reading of the spec is that resources that are reifications of statements will always have these four properties. But we don't necessarily know what the values of those properties are. So we take the 'must' language to be an observation about the world, rather than about data structures...

Jury hears opening arguments in Woodside murder case By Dave Boyce Almanac Staff Writer
he jury is now into its second week of the trial of Pooroushasb "Peter" Parineh, the Woodside man accused of the April 2010 murder of his wife at their mansion on Fox Hill Road. Mr. Parineh, a 65-year-old commercial real estate investor, is charged with premeditated murder for financial gain. In San Mateo County jail since June 2010, and facing life in prison or the death penalty if convicted, Mr. Parineh wore a dark suit for his presence in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Lisa Novak. Over three hours on Thursday, April 25, attorneys for the prosecution and the defense outlined the evidence they plan to use in making their cases in the trial ahead, complete with graphic photographs and the anguished audio of a 911 call. The trial will likely unfold over weeks. In introducing himself, Redwood City defense attorney Dek Ketchum noted that jurors will hear from the prosecution's witnesses first and that it may be two weeks before witnesses for the defense take the stand. The essential question in the case: Could 56-year-old Parima Parineh have committed suicide in her bed by shooting herself in the head with a 0.38-caliber handgun and, failing to die, take two more shots — one that missed and one that delivered a grazing wound to her head — and then take a fourth shot that ended her life? No, said Deputy District Attorney Jeff Finigan. Mr. Parineh planned and carried out the death of his wife, whose life had been insured for a total of $30 million, to rescue himself from "extreme financial difficulties," including foreclosures, Mr. Finigan said. In the year leading up to his wife's death, Mr. Parineh had been trying without success to stem the crippling erosion

The murder trial of Pooroushasb "Peter" Parineh, a Woodside resident, is in its second week in a Redwood City courtroom. Prosecutors allege that Mr. Parineh killed his highly insured wife, Parima Parineh, in April 2010 after failing to slow the steep deterioration in value of his real estate holdings.
of his income and the value of his real estate holdings, and the failing confidence of his lenders once they learned of his plight, Mr. Finigan said. On the day after his wife's death, Mr. Parineh had inquired about submitting a $26 million claim against one of his wife's insurance policies, Mr. Finigan noted. A complicating factor: that policy had been placed in a trust managed by the couple's three adult children, with whom Mr. Parineh did not get along. (In April 2012, his two sons, Austiag Hormoz Parineh and Khashayar Parineh, and his daughter, Austiaj Parineh, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against their father.) Physical evidence
After describing Mr. Parineh's severe financial situation, Mr.
Finigan introduced some of the physical evidence investigators had turned up, including: ■ Investigators for the prosecution found gunshot residue — the cloud of microscopic particles a gun ejects when being fired — on Mr. Parineh's left hand, shirt, vest, T-shirt and trousers. ■ Investigators found reason to suspect the blood stains on the comforter covering Ms. Parineh's body and on the gun as it lay on the bed under her hand. The blood had not landed on those items in a way consistent with a suicide, but had been stained after the fact from contact with a bloody surface, Mr. Finigan said. ■ The stippling pattern of gun powder where the bullets entered Ms. Parineh's body showed that the gun had not been pressed against her skin. ■ A coroner determined that Ms. Parineh had been dead several hours before Mr. Parineh's 911 call. The prosecution's interpretation of Mr. Parineh's locations that day, based on his cell phone record, showed that he could have been at home at the time of death. In defense, Mr. Ketchum countered some of the prosecution's points: ■ The gunshot residue on Mr. Parineh's clothing was weeks old, acquired when he carried the gun to a firing range and had packed his clothes in that same gym bag. Furthermore, his wife's forearms were heavily dusted with gunshot residue consistent with someone unfamiliar with holding a gun and using both hands when firing it. The fallen position of the gun on the bed was also consistent with this scenario, Mr. Ketchum said. ■ Using crime scene reconstruction and analysis, defense investigators concluded that the blood distribution at the scene See ON TRIAL, page 6

SRI: The 25-year plan After a decade-long wait, SRI starts a phased modernization of its Menlo Park campus By Sandy Brundage Almanac Staff Writer
rom small beginnings in 1946, the SRI campus in Menlo Park has grown to 38 buildings sprawled over 63 acres. Along the way the nonprofit research facility helped develop products and technologies that are now commonplace such as the computer mouse and more recently, the Siri virtual personal assistant loaded into Apple's iPhones. Now SRI is preparing to renovate its headquarters in four phases. At the end of the 25-year plan, the campus will retain the same total floor area of 1.4 million square feet, but have 800 fewer parking spaces, up to 1,700 more employees, and more landscaping. "We have more asphalt on this campus right now than we need. One of the nice things in our plans is that we're going to be increasing the landscape by 37 percent, which is huge," said Tom Little, SRI's director of support operations. The campus at 333 Ravenswood Ave. sits between Middlefield Road and Laurel Street. Thirty-three buildings will come down, replaced by 13, which will include five standing
48 feet high on the west side of the campus, one 56 feet tall and three at 64 feet high on the east side. Total floor space would remain 11 percent under the maximum allowed by SRI's conditional development permit. About 80 percent of the current buildings — a mix of offices, labs and research and development facilities — were built during the 1940s and 1950s, according Mr. Little. "Basically SRI has been living here for about the last 65 years," he said. "It's way past time that we rebuild our corporate home." It's been a long time coming. SRI first planned a renovation about 10 years ago, then pulled back after its resources shrank in the wake of the dot-com implosion. Then 9/11 ushered in stricter security requirements and a new CEO decided to shift the company's business model. "So we withdrew our application," Mr. Little said. "At the time, we had a handshake agreement with city leadership that they really wanted us to have a master plan for the campus so they could have insight into our long-range plans and enhance the city's ability to forecast development." The new facilities will have improved labs for the engineer-

ing and science divisions of SRI, as well as a layout that will encourage collaboration. Heyward Robinson, a former Menlo Park councilman who works at SRI, sounded like he's looking forward to the changes. "Our current campus is pretty outdated," he said. "I'm in a building constructed in the 1940s. Although it and similar buildings still serve our needs, they require a team of maintenance personnel to patch the leaky roofs, fix rattling fans, keep offices from becoming too hot or too cold, etc. We are also pretty spread out." He said he'll also be glad to see the campus become more "green" with more energy-efficient buildings, natural lighting and if feasible, rooftop solar panels. The renovations carry a price tag of $400 million to $500 million in today's dollars. Mr. Little said the company will pay for the renovations through bonds, cash and mortgage financing. SRI will start construction on a plot of vacant land and abandoned buildings on the rear eastern side of its campus. All contractors will park on campus and access the site via
Middlefield Road, according to Mr. Little, but there won't be a constant flow of work going on. "It gets back to having to live and work here while we do this," he said. "At any one time, there will be one, no more than two, buildings going up. Then there'll be times that three or four years go by and there's no construction activity at all."
One of the nice things in our plans is that we're going to be increasing the landscape by 37 percent TOM LITTLE, SRI'S DIRECTOR OF SUPPORT OPERATIONS .
Concerns raised at lightly attended neighborhood outreach meetings held in March included the perennial Menlo Park issues — traffic and noise. But not just noise expected from construction, but also noise experienced now. Mr. Little said SRI has since been working on tracking down the source of the problem. As for traffic, SRI hopes to get even more employees participat-
ing in its transportation demand management program. The company said that right now, about 41 percent get to work without driving alone in their cars. How to coordinate the development with other large projects expected in Menlo Park, such as Menlo Gateway and the Stanford-Arrillaga development, remains to be decided after the environmental impact report is finished, according to Associate Planner Rachel Grossman. Mr. Little said that SRI's modernization should have little cumulative impact with regards to other projects. "From the EIR and a good year of design work to physically create the drawing sets (and getting) building permits ... we're probably three years away from starting construction on anything." Stanford's development may be done by then, and noted that the time frame for Menlo Gateway's construction remains impossible to predict. Menlo Park will negotiate a development agreement with SRI. City staff said the project will need to go through an environmental impact review and financial impact analysis. A

could be consistent with a suicide, based on the order of the shots fired and the wounds they caused. ■ The cell phone record showing Mr. Parineh's whereabouts on the day of his wife's death is open to interpretation, Mr. Ketchum said, wielding a map about the size of an uncut piece of plywood showing points of reference that he said he plans to use during the trial. Wife was depressed
Ms. Parineh, a stay-at-home mom, had a history of depression and a previous suicide attempt via an overdose of drugs, Mr. Ketchum said, adding: "The greatest predictor of a suicide is a previous suicide attempt." While women tend not to use guns to kill themselves, 30 percent of the time they do, he said. Statistics also show that 1.6 percent to 8 percent of suicides involve multiple gunshot wounds. "Although it's not common to find multiple gunshot wounds to the head, it's
not rare either," Mr. Ketchum said. The family had been used to luxury — Mr. Parineh's real estate had been valued at between $50 million and $70 million in 2006 — but the couple had recently been arguing over whether their children should have to find their own ways financially, Mr. Ketchum said. Creditors had been calling up to 10 times a day, and Ms. Parineh saw suicide as a way to provide a financially secure future for her children, Mr. Ketchum said. The most dramatic moment in the courtroom that day was Mr. Ketchum's replay of continuous crying on the phone by Mr. Parineh as the 911 dispatcher was trying to get details of the situation. Mr. Parineh's answers to the dispatcher's questions were unintelligible. After at least five minutes of crying, by which point the dispatcher said the medics were at his front door, the call came to an end with a dial tone. Occasionally during the replay, the judge looked over at Mr. Parineh, whose neutral expression did not appear to change. A

Almanac wins statewide awards The Almanac won five statewide awards in the annual California Newspaper Publishers Association contest, the CNPA announced April 27. The Almanac won first place in its circulation category for best feature story and second places in these categories: investigative reporting, coverage of the environment, photo essay and feature photo. Almanac News Editor Renee Batti won a first-place award in the "best feature story" category for her story on World War II veteran and Menlo Park resident Carl Clark, who was commended by the Navy in 2012 for saving lives in 1945, when the ship USS Aaron Ward was struck by kamikaze planes. He said he accepted the honor, 66 years after the attack, on behalf of those who fought bravely for their country but, because they were black like him, "got very little recognition for what they did." Photos were
by Michelle Le. Almanac reporter Sandy Brundage won second place in the "best investigative reporting" category for her November 2011 story that uncovered how the Menlo Park police department used redlight camera citations, known as "snitch tickets," to coerce car owners into identifying drivers photographed by the camera. The tickets falsely implied that recipients were legally obligated to identify the drivers. She disclosed that police repeatedly called workplaces and landlords in an attempt to force the recipients to identify drivers, and made false threats, suggesting the police could prevent renewal of vehicle registrations. As part of a new state law, police departments are now no longer allowed to use snitch tickets. Almanac reporter Dave Boyce won a second-place award in the "coverage of the environment"
category for his story on a significant increase in recycling by local residents, and what happens to all those recycled materials. Photos were by Michelle Le. A lmanac photographer Michelle Le won a second-place award in the photo essay category for a photo spread that included a story by Dave Boyce: "A contemplative life: Monks at Woodside Priory take the road less traveled." She also won a second-place award in the category, "best feature photo," for a 2012 photograph of a regal equestrian costumed in medieval garb and riding through the mist during a Camelot-themed "Day of the Horse" event in Woodside. Michelle Le also won a certificate of achievement for a news photo that placed in the top 10 percent of entries statewide. Visit tinyurl.com/CNPA-427 for links to the stories and photos.
REAL ESTATE TRENDS by Samia Cullen
What's Driving the Rise in Home Prices? Our local real estate market is seeing significant year-over-year gains. While there are many factors behind the rise in home prices, the big price drivers are: 1. Improving economy and stable employment. Employees are feeling more secure in their jobs with the improving economy and the easing of the European financial crisis. 2. Low interest rates. According to some economists, today's low rates give buyers 30% more buying power. This is attracting buyers who wish to get into the market before interest rates go up. 3. Inventories of homes for sale are at low levels. Our local market has a limited supply of new homes due to the lack of vacant land. Most of our inventory is coming from home owners who are realizing the benefit of moving up or taking advantage of economic conditions to cash out on the equity in their properties.
4. Immigration and influx of foreign skilled workers. The need for skilled workers in Silicon Valley has resulted in many immigrants from China, India and other foreign countries coming to our area. These immigrants have increased in number recently and constitute a significant percentage of buyers in our area. 5. Increase in real estate investment. Foreign and local investors are pouring cash into the real estate market and are a major contributor to rising home prices. The loss of confidence in the stock market has motivated many individuals to diversify their investments and invest in the local real estate, which over time has proven to be a more secure investment and a hedge against inflation. 6. The rise in rents. Increasing rents has prompted more investors to purchase properties to rent out and more renters to second guess why they are paying so much in rent when they could buy.

Resident agrees to $75,000 penalty for felling trees without a permit By Dave Boyce Almanac Staff Writer
ortola Valley resident David L. Douglass has agreed to pay a penalty of $75,000 to head off a potential lawsuit from the town over the felling, without a permit, of at least 18 trees on a lightly forested hilltop on his undeveloped property on Redberry Ridge. Because the trees were located within an open-space easement on his property, the town was allowed to seek damages "for the value of the trees and the loss of scenic value," Town Attorney Sandy Sloan said in an email. Leigh Prince, an attorney and an assistant to Ms. Sloan, announced the settlement following a closed-session meeting of the Town Council on April 24. The vote was 4-0, Mayor John Richards said. Councilman Ted Driscoll recused himself from the decision because his work brings him into occasional contact with Mr. Douglass, he said. Mr. Douglass faces additional expenses of $150,345 to have the hillside replanted and then maintained over the next five years, Town Planner Tom Vlasic said. Of that total, $52,625 would cover the cost of planting replacement trees and other vegetation, Mr. Vlasic said. The planting is to be completed this spring, Mr. Vlasic told the Almanac. The town's Architectural & Site Control Commission will review the situation in October to see if the

This is the week when the Broncos had better plant a little harder in their three-point stances. Chin straps had better be buckled extra tight. A few more bench-press reps in the weight room wouldn't hurt.
The Dallas Cowboys are coming.
These aren't your granddaddy's white-hat, America's Team, flex and finesse Cowboys. These are the big, bad, rough, tough Cowboys who bullied the Broncos through four practices in stifling, 105-degree heat last year. And then in Texas Stadium on a Saturday night, the Cowboys whipped the Broncos some more for a 31-20 preseason victory.
"They took it to us," Broncos defensive lineman Ebenezer Ekuban said. "Hopefully we can make a little better showing this week. They were a little different team than we were used to facing. They're mammoths up front. They run north and south. Our defense is simplified for the defensive linemen this year, so I think we'll do a lot better."
The big, bad Cowboys will arrive here tonight at 6 p.m., ready for two-a-day, head-to-head practices Wednesday and Thursday at Dove Valley.
Better here than there. It was the Broncos who traveled to Irving, Texas, last year for a week of workouts, followed by a preseason game. Simply put, the trip was a disaster.
For starters, the Broncos were tired, having played a Monday night game in San Francisco, traveling home for a few hours Tuesday, and then two practices at the Cowboys' practice facility Wednesday and Thursday.
Greeting them was unbearably hot, humid Texas air — and a brutish group of Cowboys.
"That's a big, physical group over there," Broncos defensive end Tim Crowder said. "Like Coach was saying, they're a mountain of men. It seems like they're all 6-5 and above, 315, and they can move. They've got stars at every position."
The Broncos started getting beat up. Crowder suffered a bad high ankle sprain in one practice. The injury affected him all season. Veteran offensive lineman Adam Meadows had just been promoted to first-team right tackle in a morning session, only to suffer a torn calf in the afternoon, an injury that essentially ended his career.
"We were all miserable during that trip," Meadows said from Athens, Ga., where he runs a car dealership and home-building company. "The schedule we had, it seemed like we were short on time. We wound up short on numbers. We got our butts kicked the whole week. But a lot of our guys were just hanging on."
It only got worse after dressing in game uniforms. Ekuban suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. The Cowboys surprised the Broncos with a heavy blitz package, causing veteran Broncos safety John Lynch to call out Dallas coach Wade Phillips for going against preseason protocol.
"They blitzed us out the gate hard," Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler said. "I think we'll be more ready for that this time. Plus, it'll be good being here and not in 100-degree heat down there."
The primary purpose behind the week-long gathering is to give the Broncos' offense a long look at the Cowboys' 3-4 defensive scheme that also will be employed by San Diego, New England and the New York Jets, teams on Denver's schedule.
Like the Chargers', the Cowboys' roster is loaded with large, athletic specimens. Defensive end Chris Canty is 6-foot-7, 300 pounds. They have a linebacker, Greg Ellis, who is 6-6, 270. Their star receiver, Terrell Owens, is 6-3, 224. Cowboy players are plain bigger than Broncos players.
"They are bigger," Broncos tight end Nate Jackson said. "But we're not going to arm-wrestle them. We're going to play football. There are different philosophies in how to succeed in this game. It's a chess match."
It wasn't much of a match last year. The trip proved to be telling. The Cowboys went on to become the best team in the NFC regular season last year, earning a No. 1 playoff seed with a 13-3 record. They blew it and didn't get past the New York Giants in the postseason, but then nobody did, not even 18-0 New England.
The Broncos and their 7-9 record never made it to the playoffs.
The Cowboys and Broncos are about to meet again, for four practices, and one game. This time, they will meet in the relative comfort of Dove Valley, where temperatures are expected to reach the high 80s.
"The guys who don't know, we tell them, 'Get ready,' " Crowder said. "There's no side to side with them, they're coming straight at you. It's smash-mouth football."

Discussion has ended on this entry.
Just saw the guys play here in LA at Disney Hall late last year, and this stuff just lays me flat out. The recordings and mix on this album so far has really captured the character of the live performances.
Hats (and shoes!) off!
Yeah! Eagerly awaiting….
