More is becoming known about the circumstances surrounding Superintendent John Covington's resignation. In a Star story about the district, Gwen is quoted as saying, in part, "We've got to lick our wounds and get going."
A Missouri Judge has put on hold a controversial state law regarding teacher and student contact via social media. One of the main criticisms was the law's alleged ambiguity.
A new Plaza restaurant's management has succumbed to Facebook and other social media pressure to abandon plans for a "contemporary" exterior. The decision was announced by the restaurant's president Stephen Judge.
A story on "Politico" suggests that "conservative elites," are unhappy with the current lineup of GOP presidential hopefuls. Allegedly, many of them regard "Perry as a dope, Bachmann as a joke and Romney as a fraud."
Woody Cozad was too smug by half when he made that comment about NASA reporting that the level of the oceans is actually lower this year than last. It was clear that Cozad thinks this disproves global warming. It doesn't. NASA made clear that it's a pothole effect. A lot of water evaporated out of the oceans and fell, as rain, on land. That water is flowing back to the oceans, whose inexorable rise will continue as before.
I was very disappointed when host Mike Shanahan muffed Airick Leonard West's name. He is a public servant and deserves the courtesy and respect of being accurately identified.

Obviously, some members just don't understand that it is the total Spanish look that attracts people to the Plaza; not just a building or two. If the Plaza becomes a "mish mash" of looks, there won't be the same attraction. Perhaps, someone might do a survey , on the Plaza, Thanksgiving eve, to see what the out- of- towners would think of changing the look of the Plaza. Would they still come?
It, certainly, would not have the same charm for me. I felt great sorrow, when I heard about that stained glass piece and the facade of that place being taken out. But the Plaza doesn't get much money from me. Let's see what the people, who spend money getting here, would think.
The one tall glass building looks very much out of place, and more of that would, I believe, cause people to stay home, rather than coming here. I know, I would not spend money going somewhere to see more glass buildings. It is the compilation of all of the buildings with the Spanish look, that matters.
Because of the disagreement on this issue, I believe, such a survey is in order.
But, I must say, Obviously, those of you, who are so unconcerned about the "Plaza look", I guess, would see no reason for the recent Monet water lily Triptych compilation showing. Seeing the three panels together was important for a lot of people. I went back, in between seeing other things, three times, and now, I have them in my mind's eye.
I say, you need to do a survey! (Since you are not getting the picture in your mind's eye.)
Sincerely yours,
JoAnn Witt
Also, my guess is, that Highwoods Properties is not concerned about the Plaza being a visitors' site, but, instead, would expect to get more money with the Plaza being a commercial office park, rather than a retail area, and, therefore, don't really don't care about how many visitors come.

It's likely that you've skipped your dosage of hackneyed Internet culture over the past fortnight if you haven't encountered Liu Xianping. For those who need a refresher on Xianping, he's the 72 year old cross-dressing gent with Yoda good looks and a penchant for modelling the clothes sold through his granddaughter's online store. That descriptor makes Xianping sound only slightly better than listening to Rebecca Black without ear muffs but, really, he's not that bad. In fact, he's quite adorable in his own right.
Cross dressing men, even of the 7-decade plus vintage, are nothing new to fashion even if we've come to expect gender-bending to come more in the guise of the Andrej Pejic variety of late. But does the concept of cross dressing translate less well into fashion ad campaigns when the sexual ambiguity is gone and there's no humour to be found?
That's what you might be asking yourself after browsing through Niels Peeraer Accessories' spring 2013 look book. Here there's an aesthetic to the accessories that will appeal to fans of Fleet Ilya. But where Fleet Ilya's marketing message is (successfully) associated with a potent mix of sexualised visuals, Niels Peeraer's goes the other way opting to blur gender rolls without any obvious humour in sight.
You can see the full look book for yourself, admittedly with some frames a bit overstuff with accessories, by clicking on the thumbnails and browsing through the gallery. If the gender doesn't appeal, Niels Peeraer Accessories's leatherwork certainly will.

Any suggestions?

|The raised heel in my 32 insoles is higher than any of the aftermarket insoles I've seen.

My boots were half a size big and I brought them to a ski shop that did boot fitting. They cutout a cardboard-like material about the size of your insole to go under the liner in the boot, lifting it up a bit.
This did wonders and cost me $20 I think. Would be pretty easy to do yourself.
Today the size 14 boobs- no, I mean boots- arrived. Like the 13s, they're also nice!
I tried them on, did the same test where I removed the insole and stood on it, and walked around in them... too big.
The insoles were a little longer than my foot (about the same distance as the 13s were shorter.) This makes me a size 13.5, which I can't get in ThirtyTwo. Once again, I find myself in a situation where I just can't seem to win.
On the inside, I felt like I had about the same amount of room that I initially did with My old size 14 Ride boots, which have become too big after packing out. These have much better heel-hold, though.
Since I have these I might as well do a quick review of ThirtyTwo's Fast Track lacing system, which is the same on all their FT boots.
It was pretty good. I yanked the pull tabs while the laces were locked and nothing moved. Because of the way the lock is hinged, it only gets tighter on the laces if you pull them with it closed. I strapped in and rocked around quite a bit too, but they didn't come loose.
As far as speed goes, I was surprised to find that I was just as fast with the traditional lace version of the boot. These look cooler and are more fun to tie though. At first the pull tabs went everywhere when I pulled the handles, but then I held them in the center with my other hand and they were fine.
The true advantage of this lacing system is being able to adjust the lower section of the boot separately from the top section. It's a lot more effective and adjustable than the Boa system on my last boots. The handle storage being inside the tongue is a good idea. It looks a lot cleaner and lower-profile than other brands which have them on the outside.
They also include an extra set of laces, just in case.
So the laces are great. I much prefer these over Boas, but that's just me. As far as fit goes though, I'm leaning more towards the 13s. I might just pay the extra $20 and order those in the speed lace version. I don't think I'd mind waiting the extra week or so.
Here's a video of me putting one on to show how the speed laces work slightly differently than those from other brands:
I think the after market insole is more of a rigidity thing, more than a high arch thing.
The Superfeet I had didn't seem to add a higher arch, just more rigid.

|I wouldn't know about the heel being raised by them too much. I've never tried changing to aftermarket insoles inside of the liners. I've used them in every other shoe though and the toe side always wore down before the heel side.
I'm checking out some of these tomorrow. Supposedly REI and a local running store carry them...I can't imagine ordering something like this online without checking them out first, but I've bought a couple pairs of Sole flip flops, and they're awesome. Great arch support. I have really high arches, and the orthopedic surgeon says that's probably why I tore my metatarsal tendon and had to have surgery.
My Thirty Two Focus Boas fit GREAT, so far. I've had them heat molded. I wear a 12 shoe and bout 12 boots...my toes still touch, but I've only ridden them three times. I'm getting a very slight heel lift, but maybe I just know how to dial them in properly yet...never used Boas. I like super stiff boots (riding a NS Titan with Flow NXT-FRS bindings), and don't like any lift. I think my old boots were too loose making me force down on my toes, and helped rip my tendon. Anyway, I've had good luck with Sole products, though I've never tried their footbeds. They're heat moldable, with instructions online how to do it at home, and they're not very expensive. I haven't installed the Thirty Two heel pads that came with the boots...they don't look like'd really do anything.

I much prefer the price if they'll allow me to comfortably fit into the size 13 Prions. The 14 FTs that are on the way cost $20 more than the laced version anyway, so I might try those.

Other member shipped first.
I received marker tested it and it did not work properly.
I paid return shipping to the address he provided.
USPS said package was missent and it returned to me in MA and it looks like it is being shipped out to him again from MA?
If for some reason it returns to me again and I have to re send him the package and USPS will not cover the shipping cost am I in the right to make him reimburse me the cost of shipping to ship the marker back to him a second time. If he refuses am I in the right to keep the marker until he complies. I am not spending another $20 on a dishonest trade.

walking to get her tired isn't good for her. Short walks only to learn proper walking technique. Shes not fully vaccinated either so more reason to avoid lots of walking. Play time with toys is what will be best for her energy. We want to reduce repetitive exercises on cement, flat surfaces and stairs while she is growing.
As for the toy, not to sure, my girl will play with anything. shes got balls and ropes all over, antler bones, but her favorite toys are cardboard papertowel rolls, empty plastic milk jugs and unfortunately shoes.
8 week old puppy questions
I have a new puppy named Ziva. She is 8 weeks old. I just got her three days ago. She is doing well sleeping and only wakes me up once during the night. But I am trying to walk with her to help her get tired. She does fairly well for being so young, but today she saw children for the first time and freaked out. I thought she was going to choke herself trying to get away. I sat down on the ground and asked the children to do the same and to pet her. They were thrilled and she did well after that. Did I do the right thing? Will I need to do this each time I see them for a while to get her used to them?
Also, she only wants to play with one of her toys...the squeaky one at the end of a throw stick. Should I hide that one for a while and try to get her to chase a ball or something?
Thank you

text: This particular awful jump shooter sure had it going last night on short jumpers around the basket. Further, the Pistons drafted Darko for his range. If you wanted to use him like Sheed, to jack up a bunch or threes, I bet you would find him more than capable. (Of course, instead Darko has had a series of coaches who will not let him shoot outside shots. Not that Darko was being picked on or anything. Hill in Orlando made Howard quit taking any jumpers.) I have personally seen Darko drain threes on the run, like it was nothing. On many occasions. First try. Yes, he can shoot the ball.

By Nick Ames in Warsaw
Tomas Rosicky says Portugal were worthy winners in their Euro 2012 quarter-final against the Czech Republic.
A late Cristiano Ronaldo header was enough to send the Arsenal midfielder's team out of the competition, but Rosicky had no complaints after a second half in which the Portuguese made their class tell.
"I think Portugal deserved to get through, they were the better team so I'd like to say well done to them because it was fair on them," he told Arsenal.com.
"Our first half was quite solid, I'd say, but the biggest problem in the second was that we couldn't keep the ball and were under enormous pressure because of that. So as I said, well done to Portugal."
The Czechs had been tipped by many for a group-stage exit, not least after beginning their campaign with a 4-1 defeat to Russia, but Rosicky does not believe his team exceeded expectations.
"I don't think so - our goal was to come from the group and try our best in the next round, which is what we did," he said.
"I think we can go home with our heads held high. We lost against a better team and it's nothing to be ashamed of."
Several Czech players enhanced their reputations. Winger Vaclav Pilar and midfielder Petr Jiracek showed form that will benefit German side Wolfsburg in the future, while Rosicky also had praise for another of his team-mates.
"[Pilar and Jiracek] both showed that they're promising guys, and they're going to play in Germany together next season," he said.
"The other one who stood up was Theodor Gebre Selassie, the right back - he looks very promising as well. I think we showed that we can play football and can go home feeling positive."
Several of Rosicky's Gunners colleagues will be staying out here a little longer, though - not least Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
"Of course, I'm looking out for how my Arsenal team-mates are doing," said Rosicky. "Now let's see what England can do against Italy!"

At the biggest Russian games event, IgroMir, which took place on November 5-8, Blizzard Entertainment presented two Blizzard games: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and StarCraft II. Chris Sigaty (lead producer on StarCraft II) and J. Allen Brack (production director on World of Warcraft) visited IgroMir for the first time, taking a moment out of their busy schedules to talk to the Russian audience about these eagerly awaited games.
You can have a look at the recaps of the both panels on our IgroMir Coverage page:
We've just uploaded new intel to the StarCraft II website. This latest transmission sheds new light on the goings-on in the Koprulu sector and highlights key persons of interest associated with recent anti-Dominion activity. In particular, this content drop includes:
"You gotta choice, Jack. You can watch Mr. T's new TV commercial…or you can HURT." Mr. T, outraged that any fools would doubt his hacking skills, has returned to World of Warcraft to show off his latest invention in a series of televised ads run in North America. Watch them here first at Blizzard's new World of Warcraft YouTube channel or click here to learn more about the mohawk grenade which can be obtained in Europe starting on November 24!
World of Warcraft is now a part of the new Battle.net! In preparation for the rollout of Battle.net's upcoming communication and community features, as of today, all World of Warcraft accounts must be merged with a free Battle.net account in order to log in to the game. To upgrade to a Battle.net account, please go here. For more info, check out the Battle.net site or read the FAQ.

After a great start to IgroMir 2009 on Friday, the week-end was even busier at the Blizzard booth: the number of visitors surpassed all expectations!
Our guests formed two very long queues to test out the playable demos of two upcoming Blizzard games, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and StarCraft II. For most of the Russian-speaking community this was their first chance to experience these games.
Quizzes and contests gave attendees their chance to fight for fame and glory. World of Warcraft players were challenged to level up a Goblin or a Worgen in Cataclysm, and StarCraft fans participated in a 'hot streak' to prove their multiplayer skills.
Another important event that happened at the Blizzard booth over the weekend was a meeting of the Russian-speaking role play community. People came to meet up not only from different towns but even from different countries. For most of them it was their first real-life gathering.
As at IgroMir 2008, the "Blizzard is hiring" desk drew lots of people. If you missed this opportunity, you can always visit our job page to find the most up-to-date information about positions open right now.
Once again we would like to thank you for visiting our booth. Don't forget to visit our IgroMir web page!
J!NX is unveiling a new store in association with Blizzard, tailored exclusively for Europe!
To celebrate this special occasion the J!NX Europe store will be offering shirts:

Southern Living's Grumpy Gardener is a tomato-growing expert. Steve Bender shares these tips and tricks for growing juicy, perfect tomatoes.
- Photo: Van Chaplin
What time of the year is best for tomato planting?After your last frost in spring and at least 60 days before your first frost in fall.
- Photo: Van Chaplin
How do you prepare the soil for tomato planting?Tomatoes like moist, well-drained soil that contains lots of organic matter, such as composted cow manure, chopped leaves, kitchen compost, and peat moss. The soil should be slightly acidic (pH 6.5). If pH is lower than this, add lime to raise it.
- Photo: Oxmoor House
What is your favorite variety to grow?I like any tomato that will make my wife happy. She loves the taste of 'Cherokee Purple,' an heirloom type, so that's one I plant.
- Photo: Van Chaplin
What are some of the easier varieties to grow?All-America Winners tend to be easy for most people, because they're bred to grow well all over the country. If I had to recommend just one for beginners, it would be 'Celebrity.' If you like cherry tomatoes, plant 'Sweet Million.' It's well-named.
- Photo: Ralph Anderson, Van Chaplin
Do you recommend starting with seeds or transplanting?I always start with transplants for two reasons — I get a head start on the harvest and I'm lazier than my cat.
- Photo: Ralph Anderson, Van Chaplin
What maintenance do you suggest for keeping tomato plants happy?There are two main classes of tomatoes — determinate, which are bushy, and indeterminate, which are vining. Vining tomatoes need a support, like a big, strong tomato cage, to grow on. Keep ripening tomatoes off of the ground. Mulch under the plants and don't wet the foliage when you water. Pick off any yellowing or spotted leaves and throw them in the trash.
- Photo: Oxmoor House
How do you know when they are ripe?They should be fully colored and very slightly soft. But the real test is when you grab the tomato and give it a little twist. If it comes off easily, it's ripe.
- Photo: Ralph Anderson
What is your secret for growing perfect, tasty tomatoes?Prepare the soil before planting; choose varieties that do well in your area (heat-tolerant ones for places with long, hot summers; early-bearing ones for places with short summers); plant in full sun; and give the plants plenty of water during hot, dry spells.

Orioles outright Leicester to Triple-A
Orioles outright Leicester to Triple-A
Now that Leicester is gone, manager Dave Trembley says the choice becomes significantly easier.
"It's two guys. It's [Brian] Burres and [Matt] Albers," he said. "I think that was made very clear."
Leicester's demotion was a surprise in that it gives Trembley one less option for his bullpen. The manager has held that whoever of Leicester, Burres or Albers didn't make the rotation would likely fill a long relief spot. Now that Leicester is out of the picture, the path appears to be clear for the Orioles to carry both Burres and Albers on their Opening Day roster.
Trembley acknowledged that possibility on Tuesday and confirmed that a few of his Triple-A pitchers might not be locked out just yet. The Orioles farmed out Radhames Liz, Garrett Olson and Hayden Penn early in the hope that they'd be able to pitch on a regular basis, and Trembley said on Tuesday that they might resurface at some point.
"I don't know if they're in the equation, but that possibility exists," he said. "That's one of the reasons why we did what we did -- because I needed to get those guys stretched out, just like Jon Leicester.
"I would anticipate that there could possibly be some turnover. We need to have guys available, and not only available, but we need guys to be ready. I think there were guys available, but I don't necessarily think they were ready last year."
Baltimore's staff is pretty much set, with only the last rotation slot and a bullpen position or two remaining undecided. On Tuesday, Trembley said that he would make a final decision in the next few days and share it with his team on Thursday. That would likely result in a Friday announcement to the press, making things official the very day the Orioles leave Florida.
Burres, who had been scheduled to pitch on Monday, took Leicester's start. And Albers, who has been used as both a starter and reliever this spring, is scheduled to make his final Grapefruit League appearance on Wednesday. Trembley said the Orioles won't use their fifth starter the first time through the rotation, which gives him some leeway.
And even if there is no spot for Leicester, he said, the Orioles would like to keep him at Norfolk.
"He was put on waivers and cleared waivers," he said. "We would still like to have Jon Leicester if he chooses to do it. He can take his 72 hours if he wants, but if he wants to pitch for us he has to get to Norfolk and get stretched out."

Hello everyone. I am still kinda new...
I am making my own Boba Fett costume, and I have been given some navy blue overalls to try out if they're useful on this project.
Will bleaching them get them near to Fett's E.S.B colour? Or will I be wasting my time and Bleach?
Thanks in advance for any help guys, I love this site, I can't believe I didn't know about until a few weeks ago.

Trapped along the baseline beneath the basket, Sidney Freeman picked up his dribble and searched for an outlet. A swarm of defenders collapsed, each poking and slapping at the ball, but none could jar it loose.
Freeman eventually found a way out of the mess. He pivoted off his left foot and ducked down beneath the group of defenders and found his backcourt mate wide open beyond the 3-point line.
The pass was perfect and hit Jevin Warren right in the chest. He promptly rose and swished a shot from beyond the arc. As the Taylorsville pair hustled back on defense, Warren pointed at Freeman and Freeman nodded.
"We've got a two-headed monster," Taylorsville coach Jim Boyce said.
Warren and Freeman, both juniors, are a talented guard tandem for the 5-5 Warriors. Warren leads the team in scoring with 17.2 points per game, while Warren, who is more of a pass-first guard is averaging 13.2.
Warren is an aggressive offense talent, standing at 6-foot-tall, who can hit outside shots and attack defenses in the pain. Freeman is a stifling defensive player who pesters opposing guards into committing turnovers.
The bond developed between the two shouldn't come as a surprise. They've played together since they were fifth-graders, when they competed on the same club team.
"We just trust each other," Freeman said.
But in order for the Warriors to make some noise in region play, they'll need more than Warren's 3-point shot or Freeman's quick hands to make a run toward the playoffs.
"In order for us to have success, everyone not named Sid and not named Jevin needs to step up," Boyce said. "We need them to do that."
Warren said that while the team has had an up-and-down preseason, the team must figure out a way to develop team intangibles across the board.
"This preseason has been good for us in getting us ready for region," he said. "We've just got to stay positive. If we really emphasize consistency, it's going to help us a lot."
The Warriors have two more preseason games home against 4A Roy on Jan. 2 and at 5A Jordan on Jan. 4 before they start their run at a Region 2 crown on the road against West on Jan. 11.
Boyce said while it's nice having a talented backcourt like he does now, it won't mean much in the end of the entire team can't start hitting on all cylinders and soon. And it starts with Warren and Freeman.
"I don't know if I've ever had two players that are this talented," Boyce said. "I think the other kids really respect them and follow them."
Warren, speaking like a true teammate, said if the game is on the line, he'd like to see what his backcourt running mate Freeman can do.
"I know if he makes a decision with the ball," he said, "it's going to be the right decision."

Posted by Jonathan Silber on May 24, 2012
Over the last two months, I've had the opportunity to interview a plethora of managed service providers (MSPs) and MSP platform vendors across the US, Europe, and Asia. The experience has provided me with an inside view into the fastest-growing technology channel today, but it has also provided me with a clear understanding of the evolutionary path MSPs must take as they attempt to reach a new level of maturity (and profitability).
For those tech vendors hoping to cash in on the budding billion-dollar managed service opportunity, it is critical to first understand where the movement began in order to understand where it is headed. The figure below (from my most recent report, Managed Service Providers, Part 1) highlights the three unique stages of MSP development:

Born: October 4, 1993
Position: Midfielder
An industrious midfielder with a growing goalscoring reputation, Josh was one of the stand-out players in the Under-18s last season.
His six goals helped push Josh towards the reserve-team picture and he made 11 appearances for the second string, slotting in seamlessly in central midfield.
Josh, who can also play at right back, has been praised for his excellent timing by Steve Bould and his intelligent runs into the box were rewarded with five goals in as many matches at one stage last season.
The talented midfielder also featured in the FA Youth Cup in 2011/12.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

I'm thinking of registering for the International House London-administered Distance DELTA course. I've heard it has a good reputation but does anyone have first-hand knowledge of this course?
Also, is there a very high success rate of getting an ESL teaching position in a university -in an English-speaking country- with DELTA? Or is an MA in Applied Linguistics or other qualification preferred? How many years teaching experience would be expected before landing a university position?

Spent the night at home playing a mix of Team fortress 2 beta, Call of Duty 4 beta and the new Sega Rally demo. And i must say, one game is as awesome as the next, im in a tizzy of nerdy delight.
I also bought a chatpad for my xbox 360, it rules.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I'm glad i can do it all again 2moro.

I'm looking for a good camera, that will last me for a while and capable of low light photo, mainly friends and places and I really hate to have to use the flash which make the photos horrible and not natural that the reason why I'm moving towards a DSLR.
Also the camera will have to be able to shoot decent quality 1024HD video with continues AF with a good speed.
I've done my home work and found 4 potential camera and 3 lens, I will probably get a 70-200 later on if I feel the need. My understanding is that if you want a good low light photo it's all about the lens, therefore 17-50 / 55 F2.8 seems to be an ideal choice, I guess this will also have a positif impact on the video quality, i've read several review about lens and the tamron seems to be doing a really good job and it's also much cheaper (it's seems to be noisy, but i could not car less about that).
Regarding the camera, I'm also trying not to spend silly money for an amateur usage but when it comes to quality and good video the Nikon D7000 with a Tamron 17-50 F2.8 seems to be ticking all the boxes, but it's on the paper and I don't have any experience, just been reading review so far.
What do you guys think? did I miss something obvious? I would be happy to spend less for the camera so if you reckon that another one could do the job, please let me know!
Nikon 17-55mm AF-S f/2.8G IF-ED Dx £1064
Tamron SP 17-50mm F2.8 Di II LD Nikon AF Zoom Lens £299
Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS Lens - Nikon AF £569
Thanks for your help!

'"You've got some young players that obviously we are going to look to mature and fill that void," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said over the weekend. "We've got some players that have been around, that have a number of years under their belt. We've always said that that core group inside the room was a strong core. I said it's going to be tough to replace, but we're going to have to ask other young players to step in and fill bigger roles."'

As I said, we already have an internal taxonomy data structure that is used for our internal search engine, for categorizing our content, etc. It's crucial to keep this or things start going array when those tools are used. Each item in that taxonomy is used as a tag for marking items.
Now for dW Community, currently only the bloggers have their own "Category" tags, which are separate from the dW taxonomy. Because each blogger can create their own tags personally categorizing any of their posts, this can result in many variations of the same tag (same idea, different names), conflicts in the semantic usage of tags (different ideas, same name), and even ownership of those categories. Thus, you can think of these tags as having their own "individual scope" and exist in a different tag space than the full dW taxonomy.
Thus, there are now two scopes of tags: personal, and dW.
Next comes the issues with the big improvements coming in 2006. The plans for 2006 have been laid out but we haven't completely worked out the full tasks and implementation model. Hence, I haven't really described it yet... BUT it is coming and it will have a BIG impact in change! (we hope for the better in many ways)
So, with the new plan, we will start considering another scope of tags: those that span community-wide as a general folksonomy (see previous post).
In this scope, dW Community members can create a tag that exists in the public scope that anyone else can add, modify or even delete items from. This is where we start trusting our users to do what's best for themselves.
With any folksonomy there is potential for abuse and disaster when:
- picking a topic tag so big that it could contain a whole lot of other tags
- spamming into these tags
- malicious deletion of entries
Thus, a pure folksonomy can become total chaos if the facilities to backtrack, undo, alert, or generally administer those tags are not available.
Yet another way to do this is to introduce a new type of scoping. You still have a folksonomy, but you subdivide topics at a high level, and break them down into groups. Each group can have its own tags created by anyone in that group. It's folksonomy in limited scale and actually breaks the original idea some, but limits widespread chaos.
So thus the potential is that there may be a number of scopes: individual, group, dW, global
How do you refer to each of these scopes?
Globally-unique naming of each scope is usually enough.

Greeting troops!
I am returning to star wars prop and costume making after a long while (had kids and all that RL stuff). I made Fetts and troopers back in the late 80's. I was one of the original members of the 501st, TK714 and was at Dragon Con in 88-89 for the first ever meeting. I made suits for members and for several fan made films. I have my original fett, biker, snow, Boussh and scout molds that I just took out of storage. I am ramping up for Supercon this weekend and am trying to get in touch with the south Fl 501st to see is they could use an armorer. We are running off some biker scouts for Supercon so if anyone is going, see you there!
On a side note, anyone know if Kathy Willits is still doing sewing? Or if you know of anyone who can make cloth items?
I look forward to all the new ideas out there. Sure looks like it is easier to get things these days!

West Side Stories
A Tosa resident for almost 20 years, Karen is a mom and freelance writer, addicted to playing tennis. When not on the tennis court, she spends the fall and winter in the stands at Green Bay Packer and Marquette basketball games.
Karen is the author of "Grab a Bite," a dining out column and the former community columnist for the Wauwatosa NOW newspaper.
There's got to be a morning after - the Facebook chronicles.
"I'm not blue, I'm just sad."
"Well, that was a good thing to wake up to."
"Do better next time, Wisconsin."
"It's OK, Mitt. I didn't get elected either. In fact, most people didn't."
There you have just a smattering of comments from my friends and family on Facebook this post-election morning. As you can tell, some people are happy that President Obama was reelected and Tammy Baldwin beat Tommy Thompson, others, not so much.
If you are a regular on Facebook, you know that these past few months have been nothing short of ugly. This past weekend, I blogged about voter fatigue (which got me an interview with ABC News that never aired - dang.) But quite a bit of the election battle was waged - for good or for bad - on Facebook. People felt called to sway their Facebook friends toward their voting preference, usually with poor results.
Articles and videos were posted. Organizations were "liked." Statuses were argued. People spoke openly of wishing for a political "filter" so they could escape to Facebook from the daily grind of robo-calls and campaign ads.
Alas, I knew that when I signed on Facebook this morning, it would be a mixed bag of celebration and dismay. What concerns me are the ugly comments calling for low expectations and promises of doom and gloom.
If you're sad this morning, remember we're Americans, people. We can do more together than we can on our own. Let's focus on what we have in common, instead of our differences.
And if you're happy this morning, my friend said it perfectly: "I am calling upon all my friends who are celebrating right now to provide spaces of grace for all those who will react negatively to the results of tonight's election. In doing so, you will bring honor to your country and to yourself."
Now it's time to get back to what's really important in Wisconsin - The Green Bay Packers. Let's go, Pack!

It wasn't just any teacher who forced himself on a 17-year-old student, touching her in her most intimate places and snapping sexually explicit photos of her in a "cage" used for storage. No, it was Raemon Matthews, 57, a nationally acclaimed teacher at Samuel Gompers High School in the Bronx.
New York's Daily News reports that Matthews pled guilty earlier this year to a misdemeanor for fondling the girl and was barred from teaching. But the full extent of his depravity was not revealed until a member of the school's maintenance staff recently chanced upon a DVD labeled 300 during a routine cleaning of the classroom. Believing the disk to contain an action movie by that name, the worker inserted it into a DVD player and was shocked to discover its actual contents—photos of a teenage female "in various stages of undress."
View slideshow: Teacher of the Year turns out to be closet pervert
The worker turned the disk over to school authorities, who in turn contacted the New York City Department of Education. A subsequent investigation revealed that Matthews had coerced the student into posing for nude and semi-nude photos, telling her it was to "attract college recruiters and employers." He had also fondled her breasts, buttocks, and "private parts," according to investigators.
When the girl protested after a year of lewd extracurricular activities and said she wanted to stop, Matthews, who is married, reportedly told her, "No Boo-Boo, we're just getting started." He also allegedly told the teen that she was in danger of failing and needed extra help.
The female, now 20, told the New York Post she kept the arrangement secret out of fear that Matthews would hurt her. "It was hard for me, it was like a big trauma," she is quoted as saying. "I didn't want anybody to know because I was embarrassed."
Matthews, who taught at the predominantly low-income, minority school since 2000, has been cited in a number of books on effective teaching and was twice named Teacher of the Year. Former U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige praised Matthews during a visit to the school in 2002. As a result, Matthews was invited to Washington, D.C, to demonstrate his methods.
He has pleaded guilty to sexual abuse and was sentenced to one year of probation.

|If you use the search function you'll find quite a bit of info on these epoxy floor coatings, been discussed a lot.
Garage floor coatings, Blackdog's garage
I use to post here a lot but over the years my interest have changed from hot roding to adventure motorcycling. I still maintain a well equipped shop for 4X4 and motorcycle projects. I just completed a dream 36'X36' shop/garage and now I'm ready to coat the new cement floors. I did a lot of research here and found much old info that does not apply in 2012.
I'm considering a 2 part epoxy product such as this: http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...2C+1+gallon.do. This seems to be the preferred product here but I'm open to anything at this time.
I have some questions: 1. How do I address the expansion joints? They need to be sealed (with some kind of caulk) and I'm not sure if I should coat first than seal or seal than coat. 2. I'm thinking of leaving the floor at the welding station bare, is this a good idea? Should I use a stain or sealer instead?
Thanks for the help, this was the very first place I came to for this question as I know some of you are almost as anal as me! If there's anything else you could add to my floor project let me know. I'll post some before and after pictures later.

Please note that to obtain OPT an application is made to the USCIS and it may take as long as 3 or more months to have it approved. You may not work until the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is received by mail and the start date on it reached.
Application packets with forms and instructions for all F-1 employment authorization categories are available at the IPS Office and are provided during the required weekly Employment workshops.
You are eligible for another 12 months of OPT if you undertake a degree at a higher educational level.
Your OPT will be cancelled if you enroll in a new degree program while still on OPT; it is considered to be a violation of F-1 status to take classes during Post-completion OPT.
Pre-completion OPT
Pre-completion OPT is OPT authorized to be worked before the student's program end date. It can be authorized:
- full-time during the summer break, if intending to register for the following Fall semester,
- part-time while still taking courses while school is in session, and
- full-time for graduate students after completion of all course requirements with only a thesis or project remaining.
If you decide to use Pre-completion OPT for three months, full-time during summer vacation, then you would only have nine months left available for Post-completion OPT. Practical training during the school year, while taking courses is authorized for ½ time (20 hrs/wk maximum). If, for example, you decide to have Pre-completion Optional Practical Training part-time for four months during the semester, then 2 months would be subtracted from the 12 total available months. Please use the OPT Date Calculator to determine the exact time remaining.
Please note that an application is made to the USCIS to obtain OPT and it may take as long as 3 months to have it approved. You may not work until the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is received by mail and the start date on it is reached.
You may apply for Pre-completion OPT up to 90 days before your requested start date.
Post-completion OPT
Post-completion OPT is authorized for full-time work
- after all degree requirements have been completed, or
- after completion of all course requirements with only a thesis or project remaining
Please note authorization for Post-completion OPT requires an application to the USCIS; approval may take as long as 3 months. You may not work until the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is received by mail and the start date on it is reached.
Application time frames:
You may apply for Post-completion OPT 90 days before the completion of all degree requirements. Post-completion OPT applications will be accepted if received at USCIS within 60 days after graduation.
Application Steps After Obtaining Your New OPT I-20 from IPS:
- Your completed I-765 Form
- Your two passport photos
- A $380 personal check made payable to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" (Do not write USDHS)
- Photocopy of your new I-20, with the Post-completion OPT recommendation* (and signed by you)
- Photocopies of all endorsed SJSU I-20s and photocopies of any previous I-20s from other schools
- Photocopy of both sides of your I-94 card
- Photocopy of passport biography page and F-1 visa page
- Photocopy of old EAD card(s), if applicable
*Please note that USCIS will only accept the new OPT I-20 within 30 days of IPS issuing it. You must mail the OPT Application packet with sufficient time for it to be received before the 30 days expire. Make sure to keep copies of all documents for your own records before sending to USCIS.
Steps After You Have Mailed Your OPT Application To USCIS
- When you receive the USCIS "Notice of Action" letter (Form I-797A) confirming receipt of your OPT application, make sure to keep it for your records. You will need to refer to the WAC # to check the status of your application online.
- After receiving your EAD card for your authorized period of Post-completion OPT from USCIS, you must provide IPS a copy of it. You may drop off a copy at the office or email it.
- F-1 regulations require you to inform IPS of the name and address of each employer during Post-completion OPT, to report any periods of unemployment, and any changes in your address. Please make sure to submit this information via our Post-completion OPT Student Employment Report Form.
- IPS will continue to sign your I-20 (for travel) every 6 months during Post-completion OPT. Please allow 2-3 days for processing.
Post-completion and Unemployment Information
Students who are on Post-completion OPT and are unemployed for more than 90 days will
be considered in violation of status. You must average at least 20 hours a week of
paid/unpaid/volunteer work while on Post-completion OPT. Averaging less than 20 hours
a week in a month will require you to report days of unemployment. Go to our Guide to Unemployment (pdf) for additional information.


text: Buddha, the rule changed this year about declaring a playoff roster. You don't have to do it. It works like the regular season. You announce for each game which 12 players you want active. So, the Pistons could, for example, dress Amir for some games and Nazr for other games. You may dress different players for each game/series depending on the matchups, injuries, etc.

Is it Robot Day here on woot?
I bought this for my son last year for Christmas, and it didn't even last a day before it quit working.
Huge Bummer!
I guess all robots will have a "dance" button soon like this one. So when SkyNet attacks just press the "dance" button on the Terminator attacking you......
The shooting disks look like they are a good training aid for children to get ready for the future rise of the machines against humanity.
You see, this is what makes the terminator movies end up seeming so plausible.
Some poooony comes along and thinks, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we made a little toy robot that shoots foam disks?"
Then next thing you know you have a robot revolution on your hands and the darn things are using sub-machine guns and not little foam disks.
If you are into that whole paying more thing here is the link to
It has one review, but it is a favorable one.
Over at Newegg they are also selling/providing a link to site that is selling the bot for $50, but it is currently sold out there.
However, there are several reviews on that site and the reviewers leave the pros and cons of the Robokid.
This does a tremendous disservice to the next generation of humans.
This toy teaches them that our future robot overlords are mere playthings. They should instead learn the truth--that these robots must be destroyed before they destroy us.
If you are reading this, you are the resistance.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 22, 2009.
What would we have to include in the deal to trade KCP for Burke?
Or both?
I would go with options 3 or 5.....although Gordon/Morrow gives us more options to spread the floor than Williams does.
A better question might be, Are the Pistons even awake?
Joe better wake up and make some type of deal, or he will have plenty time to sleep this summer....and fall.
This would be one of the dumbest trades that Joe could do. It's a Jazz fan's pipe dream.
We already have a Lou Williams in Jennings. No need for another chucker. Gordon/Morrow is intriguing, but man E.Gordon has an albatross of a contract. The one that makes the most sense to me among those options is JJ for Dudley. Jonas is clearly out of the rotation here, and Dudley is a SF that can shoot.
Option 3 was Marvin Williams, for BoT and Mitchell. I wouldn't trade Stuckey for Lou Williams (that was option4). I see everyone of the Clipper games and yes Dudley could possibly spread the floor, but he has been about as bad as KCP in hitting the open shot the past six weeks and that is one of the reasons the Clippers are shopping him.
I like Hibbert. In every clip I've seen with him he seems to be a cool guy. He probably understands stats better than Joe and Mo combined.
Aah, the other Williams, sorry. I agree that Marvin Williams could work here.
I do like Williams these days, but giving up a promising power forward like Mitchell for him will not help us a bit. Lots of small forwards out there. Not so many guys like Mitchell who can guard opposing bigs.
I don't see any of these trades making a difference. I see no point in trading just because the deadline is approaching.
I see a point when the team sucks the big danglies. I'd move Stuckey for Shabazz. That is a no brainer. I wouldn't want JJ included though. RJeff and Biedrins for Smith/Stuckey? Put down the crack pipe, that is a stupid trade.
The Worst Contracts in the NBA «
Yep, since Dumars isn't the GM of Utah they would hang up laughing.
I haven't finished reading this yet, but his critique of Joe is the funniest basketball column he has written in years. I apologize to all the Joe fans, he is a great Piston, but he's got to go. I enjoyed these as well. This last one is my favorite! I could totally see Joe recommending that they use it on ineligible players once a week.
I think that the cap space available from Stuckey and Charlie is more valuable than any trade we could get for them. As much as I want the Pistons to finally be competitive, I would hesitate to pick up any players with major flaws right now. We have a team full of those guys, and the team sucks.
Yeah, shuffling a deck of 6's and 7's still only nets you a 6 or 7. Teams don't give away too many aces, and we've already played our joker ('14 draft pick).
$16m is a good block of cash. If I could honestly pick any picture perfect scenario it would go like this Monroe to the Cavaliers for Dion Waiters or Greg Monroe to the Warriors for Harrison Barnes. Deng as an FA for 4yrs/48m. Jennings/Waiters/Deng/Smith/Dre That's a 3 or 4 seed in the Eastern and a strong matchup against virtually any team.
Dion Waiters may have "Suffered Scary Knee Injury" yesterday. I like the idea of Deng for Monroe, although I think his huge salary, Smith's huge salary, nad Dre's soon to be huge salary will make it difficult to have anything but filler on the bench. Deng seems to be a mature, two-way, complete player. I don't think the Pistons have any of those right now.
Separate names with a comma.

Why Use Big Data for Cyber Security is number one in a series of three white papers - all focusing on Big Data solutions for cyber security analytics. In chapter one, we explore the value that big data analytics can bring to the cyber security problem. In chapter two we cover the importance of proper design and planning including business-driven strategies, requirements capture, and the risks in the market. Before acquiring new technology to implement a Big Data cyber security analytics solution, we recommend that you do a thorough analysis of the options available and measuring them against your requirements. In the last chapter, we talk about how our CyberReveal, a Big Data cyber security analytics capability, can help accelerate the application of Big Data to cyber security analytics.
The following issues are highlighted in this new whitepaper:
� A changing threat landscape
� Increased monitoring leads to big data
� Behavioral analytics for detection
� A big data platform for investigation

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 0.5. Implementation of Article XIII A of the California Constitution
Chapter 6. Allocation of Property Tax Revenue
Article 5. Jurisdictional Changes and Negotiated Transfers
Section 99.1
99.1. Subsequent computations for transfer of revenues between local agencies. (a) For the purposes of the computations required by this chapter for the 1986–87 fiscal year and fiscal years thereafter, in the case of any transfer of property tax revenues between local agencies that is adopted and approved in conformity with subdivisions (b) and (c), the county auditor shall adjust the allocation of property tax revenue determined pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section, or the annual tax increment determined pursuant to Section 96.5 or its predecessor section, for those local agencies whose allocation would be altered by the transfer.
(b) Commencing with the 1986–87 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter, a local agency may, by the adoption of a resolution of its governing board, determine to exchange any portion of its property tax revenues that is allocable to one or more tax rate areas, with one or more other local agencies having the same tax rate area or tax rate areas. Upon the adoption of the resolution, the governing board of the local agency shall notify the board of supervisors of the affected county.
If the transfer of property tax revenues will alter the property tax revenue allocation of a city, the governing board of the local agency shall, upon adoption of the resolution, also notify the affected city.
(c) If the board of supervisors of the affected county concurs with the proposed exchange of property tax revenues, it shall, by resolution, approve the exchange and notify the county auditor. If the property tax allocation of a city would be affected by the exchange, the board shall not notify the county auditor pursuant to this subdivision until the city council of the affected city has, by resolution, approved the proposed exchange of property tax revenues.
(d) Upon receipt of notification from the board of supervisors pursuant to subdivision (c), the county auditor shall make the necessary adjustments specified in subdivision (a).
(e) Prior to the adoption by the governing board of a local agency of a resolution pursuant to subdivision (b), the local agency shall hold a public hearing to consider the effect of the proposed transfer. Notice of the hearing shall be published pursuant to Section 6061 of the Government Code in one or more newspapers of general circulation within the local agency.
(f) No local agency shall reallocate property tax revenue pursuant to this section unless the transfer will not result in any increase in the ratio between the amount of revenues of the transferring agency that are generated by regulatory licenses, use charges, user fees, or assessments and the amount of revenues of the transferring agency used to finance services provided by it.
(g) This section applies only to exchanges affecting the Ventura Regional Sanitation District located within the County of Ventura.

Re: Great Literary Quotes
H. G. Wells is adept at painting word pictures in his readers' heads. Yet his writing is plain and straightforward, making it accessible to those with minimal vocabulary and mediocre reading skills. Here's the Wells quote I promised, along with a little of my own expository writing. Visualize what he describes.
The very British Herbert George Wells (1866 1946) wrote and published The Time Machine in 1895 when he was not yet even 30. It was his first novel and his first science fiction book. With it he began the creation of many of the themes of modern science fiction. He went on to publish The Island of Doctor Moreau in 1896, The Invisible Man in 1897, The War of the Worlds in 1898, both When the Sleeper Wakes and Tales of Space and Time in 1899, The First Men in the Moon in 1901, and The Food of the Gods in 1904.
Interestingly, Wells did not think of himself as a science fiction author. He considered himself a sociologist, journalist, novelist, and historian. His purpose in writing all his published works was social commentary. He was a prolific writer and published regularly throughout his life. Only this early handful of his many works are science fiction. Like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Wells' science fiction is always a ripping good story when taken literally but works even better when not, for within them he challenged the thinking of his day and society's views of itself. His contemporaries undoubtedly found his books hard to put down and his views hard to accept.
The thing the Time Traveller held in his hand was a glittering metallic framework, scarcely larger than a small clock, and very delicately made. There was ivory in it, and some transparent crystalline substance. And now I must be explicit, for this that follows -- unless his explanation is to be accepted -- is an absolutely unaccountable thing. He took one of the small octagonal tables that were scattered about the room, and set it in front of the fire, with two legs on the hearthrug. On this table he placed the mechanism. Then he drew up a chair, and sat down. The only other object on the table was a small shaded lamp, the bright light of which fell upon the model. There were also perhaps a dozen candles about, two in brass candlesticks upon the mantel and several in sconces, so that the room was brilliantly illuminated. I sat in a low arm-chair nearest the fire, and I drew this forward so as to be almost between the Time Traveller and the fireplace. Filby sat behind him, looking over his shoulder. The Medical Man and the Provincial Mayor watched him in profile from the right, the Psychologist from the left. The Very Young Man stood behind the Psychologist. We were all on the alert. It appears incredible to me that any kind of trick, however subtly conceived and however adroitly done, could have been played upon us under these conditions.Now, make sure you got your mental picture right. London houses of the period had not yet been electrified. All lighting was done with gas lights on the walls and candles in sconces, candelabra, and lamps. With that in mind, do you still think of the room as brilliantly lighted? How did you visualize the time machine model? It's description is purposely a little vague. Like he did with the people, the author encourages us to project our desires onto the model. If your mental image of the room, people, and objects changed when you read this paragraph, go back and reread the passage, paying careful attention, and work at building the picture in your mind.

The trend started in the mid '60s with the move away from traditional teaching methods.
As for amazing writing, I point to such writers as H. G. Wells, who wrote over a hundred books on social criticisms. I'll try to add a quote from him later.
Re: Great Literary Quotes
With props to John Kretschmer who I first saw reference this one (and who has a great ear for verse):
North Sea off Carnoustie
You know it by the northern look of the shore,
by salt worried faces,
an absence of trees, an abundance of lighthouses.
Its a serious ocean.
Along marram-scarred, sand-bitten margins
wired roofs straggle out to where
a cold little holiday fair
has floated in and pitched itself
safely near the prairie of a golf course.
Coloured lights have sunk deep into the solid wind,
but all theyve caught is a pair of lovers
and three silly boys.
everyone else has a dog,
Or a room to get to.
The smells are of fish and of sewage and cut grass.
Oystercatchers, doubtful of habitation,
clamour weep, weep, weep, as they fuss over
scummy black rocks the tide leaves for them.
The sea is as near as we come to another world.
But there in your stony and windswept garden
a blackbird is confirming the grip of the land.
You, you, he murmurs, dark purple in his voice.
And now in far quarters of the horizon
lighthouses are awake, sending messages
invitations to the landlocked,
warnings to the experienced,
but to anyone returning from the planet ocean,
candles in the windows of a safe earth.

Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

With the help of your good hands.
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please. Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant,

Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so that it assaults
Mercy itself and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardoned be,
Let your indulgence set me free.

Re: Great Literary Quotes
My all-time favorite...
If a man must be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as good as anything, perhaps a bit better than most. A small sailing craft is not only beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and the hint of trouble. If it happens to be an auxiliary cruising boat, it is without question the most compact and ingenious arrangement for living ever devised by the restless mind of man--a home that is stable without being stationary, shaped less like a box than like a fish or a girl, and in which the homeowner can remove his daily affairs as far from shore as he has the nerve to take them, close hauled or running free--parlor, bedroom, and bath, suspended and alive.

Re: Great Literary Quotes
I love the following passage from Geoffrey Wolfe's "The Hard Way Around - The Passages of Joshua Slocum." Wolfe is writing about Slocum's circumstances before Slocum made history by (re-)building the Spray and making the first solo circumnavigation. I figure if Slocum could rise above these circumstances, maybe there is hope for some of my dreams too.
"The tally thus far for Joshua Slocum at the age of forty-five: He had lost to death three infant children and his first wife. He had lost to shipwreck two clippers, been charged with the cruel imprisonment of one crew member and the murder of another. His second wife, Hettie, in sympathy with that seasick sailor of the Odyssey, wished to flee so far inland that local citizens would recognize the purpose of an oar. He was broke. The age of sail had ended. The captain was, that is, entirely at sea."

Former UN chief, Kofi Annan, listed four key issues that were central to restoring peace in Kenya. First, is an immediate halt to violence and the restoration of fundamental rights and liberties. Second, is promotion of reconciliation between tribes presently engaged in brutal action against one another. Third, resolve the current political crisis that began when President Kibai literally stole the election. Fourth, investigation of long term issues that will prevent future outbreaks of such virulent hatred between tribal groups in Kenya. Annan titled his proposals: "Suggested Agenda for the National Dialogue on the Resolution of the Political Crisis in Kenya." ODM leader, Raila Odinga asked for the word "mediation" to be substituted for "dialogue." It is expected that Annan would chair mediation procedures but will be assisted by other leading African figures like the former president of Tanzania, Benjamin Mkapa and by Ms. Graca Machel.
President Kibaki is currently attending a meeting of the African Union and apparently acted as though there were no problems in his nation. Fortunately, the South African delegation insisted on discussing the current situation. Kibaki insists there are some internal problems but they will be resolved. Foreign Minister Moses Wetangula told AU delegates, "We can handle the situation and have enough internal capacities to solve the problem. There is no need for external support."
President Kibaki fears outside support because it will make public his efforts to subvert a free election by doctoring vote counts. No wonder, he wants to "handle the situation."
