KDE file transfer with KBluetooth
If you have used Bluetooth file transfer in GNOME, you'll probably agree on how easy to use it really is. In my experience, the best way to go about it is to register your device first, so it's all about sending and receiving after that. The device itself appears listed from the moment it is registered and all one has to do after that is choose whether one wants to send or browse the device to retrieve files.
Starting the registration process for my device using the Device Manager.
As I started using KDE, I naturally wanted to get the same Bluetooth functionality, but I found that things were not as intuitive. Coming from the GNOME model, I wanted to register my device (A Nokia E65) so I could easily send files or browse its contents after that initial registration. Here's how I did it:
My mobile found was quickly found by the Kbluetooth Device Manager.
After starting KBluetooth, I opened the device manager and tried to register my device. The application ran a scan and found it. Unfortunately, KBluetooth claimed my device did not support input service, which made it impossible for me to complete the registration.
KBluetooth apparently didn't like my device.
I found this error message surprising, especially because my device was fully compatible and could easily be registered under GNOME. I then started the usual "Googleing" process to try and find some more information about this error message. I found a THREAD that had been open for some time on the subject. If you read that thread, several models from different manufacturers are still not supported. In my case that meant I didn't have an intuitive way to browse or retrieve files from my phone.
KBluetooth provides an easy way to send files to any detected device.
Luckily, sending files to the device was quite simple, but how could I retrieve files from it? I was thinking of using the PC as the control mechanism, and it never occurred to me that I could actually send files from my mobile to the PC!! Somehow I thought that "input service" error would make it fail.
I gave it a try one day, and Voila! ...it worked like a charm. All I had to do was change KBluetooth preferences > Bluetooth Adaptors and make my computer visible. After that, I could send any file I wanted from my phone to my computer.
This solution is very simple, so much so that I was ashamed I had not found it earlier. The downside is that it always requires a new device scan before sending files, which can be a bit annoying, but at least I can send and download files to and from my mobile using KDE's own KBluetooth. Hope this helps in case you were having similar problems.
Note that it is possible to install GNOME Bluetooth manager to work around this problem, but I didn't want to go for that solution.
Thanks for reading

I have actually got a new phone and tired similar things as you did. I was running Linux Mint!!
The best application out there that I found that works a charm is Wammu - http://wammu.eu/
Basically an interface to a terminal application to interact with your phone! Best thing about it is that is supports way more functions that GNOME or KDE have for there Bluetooth managers.
Note - Im pretty sure that you will have to have a connected phone with Kbluetooth before you can use Wammu... so the post is still relevant !!
Nice stuff!ReplyDelete
I will give it a try when I have second, thanks for the info!
Take care

I went through this a while back. I read an article on blueman bluetooth. I installed it and setup my phone. I later removed it, but kdebluetooth worked. I guess it was using the config files that blueman setup. Kdebluetooth is useless by it's self. Why can't it setup bluetooth connections like gnome/blueman? It is in the Ubuntu repos.ReplyDelete

Liam returned to Arsenal to head up the academy system in August 1996, returning to the Club he served with such style for seven years in the 1970s.
He has presided over a system prolific in producing talented young players, many of whom are making successful careers in the game today throughout the English leagues. Players such as David Bentley, Jermaine Pennant, Ashley Cole, Steve Sidwell, Moritz Volz and Jeremie Aliadiere have all benefited from his tutelage in recent years and now play regular top-flight football, having represented their countries at various levels.
The development of young talent and their preparation for first-team football is the Academy's priority ahead of results, but youngsters can also learn much from playing competitively in big-game surroundings.
To this end, the Academy has enjoyed great success under Brady's management, with the Under-18s winning the FA Youth Cup in both 2000 and 2001, also being FA Premier Youth League Champions in 1998 and topping their regional group last season.
The attraction of watching Arsenal's academy players today has never been better illustrated than in the first leg of last season's FA Youth Cup semi-final against Manchester United, which attracted 38,187 to Emirates Stadium - a record youth football attendance in this country.
Prior to joining Arsenal in his current role, Liam managed Celtic and Brighton & Hove Albion - having already made his name as a skilful left-footed midfielder at Highbury before winning two Italian league titles with Juventus. He also represented the Republic of Ireland 72 times.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Dick Pinney's Guidelines; Passion for waterfowl hunting influences writer's life decisions
"Earlier this month during the opening of the Coastal Zone duck season, I was hunting with friends. We hit a local beaver pond near Great Bay. The guys were good to me, putting me on stand while they went out and slogged through the bog. My lab Blink was sad each morning when we go sea ducking and he doesn't get to go with he old man. Chasing big ducks in five-foot swells and having to jump out of and get back into a 22-foot boat isn't what retrievers were designed for, so the sad eyed pup had to wait until regular duck season opens.
"To check that out, draw a full-sized outline of the game on a sheet of paper, step off the distance you want to test and fire one round. Then eyeball the target, determining if there are enough hits for a clean kill, if the pattern is even and consistent, and how the point of aim compares with the center of the pattern hits,' Brooks points out.

As Big Bang Therory's Sheldon would say, "Bazinga!" You got me!
And, up to this moment, I had been doing so well ....
I should have known better but I opened it anyway!
I bit too. This was inspired. lol
Haha, I knew htis was an April Fool's (but only because I saw two other bogus threads in the GSD)
This is one joke I wish were true, lol!
Good try. I think anything to do with Russian skating could be true.
HAHAHAHAHA! I bet the haterz who fell for it were shitting bricks.
Oh, you are cruel, truly CRUEL !!!!!
Is he competing with his new nose?? Has he become dark haired too?
DaYUM! Day after April Fool's and I STILL get got!!
LOL, don't give Plushy any idea !
Um, what are you talking about? 1. Plushy's not ready for this Worlds. 2. It would be against the rules. 3. His reinstatement officially hasn't come through yet.
Yes, even two days after April Fools it got me.

Last autumn I mixed a small (100 gram) batch of ^6 crawl glaze, a simple recipe (Magnesium Carbonate 25, Nepheline Syenite 70, Ball clay 5), it worked fine, did exactly what I wanted.
I wanted to use it today and cracked the lid open to give it a stir and it's turned a pale turquoise in colour, I'm fairly anal about not contaminating one product with another so I don't think that that's the cause.
I only have enough left for what I want for one pot, so there's no great cost involved in starting again, but should I, or is it OK to use; I do want it to fire white as it did originally.
Should I always mix this in small quantities?

Thanks Neil, I think to be on the safe side I'll use this on something else in the future and make some fresh stuff up anyway, I really do want it to be white in this instance, it's such a small quantity it's not worth worrying about, and the old stuff may produce a nice surprise when I do use it.public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

text: Well, that was weird...I have no idea how they were even able to make it close at the end, but I never thought they really had a chance despite the big comeback. That was just WAY too big a deficit to make up. This game was lost down the stretch of the 2nd quarter and most of the 3rd, not at the end. All we can hope for now is a good win in Game 6 and to somehow put a complete game together in Game 7, with the Cs possibly seizing up if they can't get out to a lead in the decisive game.

PROJECT: Clear Creek Whitewater Park
OWNER: Golden (Colo.) Parks and Recreation Department
CONTRACTOR: Recreation Engineering & Planning, Boulder, Colo.
MAINTENANCE: $25,000 every other year
Ruling raises fun to the level of agriculture, industry, and development.
In 2001 the first city to fund a whitewater park solely through taxpayer dollars won a decision from the Colorado Supreme Court guaranteeing minimum flows. By doing so, Golden created a new fork in the state's convoluted water-rights landscape.
Unlike other states, in Colorado water is a property that can be claimed by demonstrating first use or "beneficial" use, and rights are based on prior appropriation. Infrastructure managers had to prove that their design would capture, control, and divert Clear Creek; use the water beneficially; and provide the minimum flow necessary for a reasonable recreational experience. (Flows range from a low of 70 cubic feet/second [cfs] in low-water months and up to 1,000 cfs during the runoff months. See table below.) In this case, the beneficial use of water provides an amenity that increases the city's sales tax revenues.
"We were stunned with the park's success and concerned that loss of peak flows would reduce the benefit," explains Public Works Director Dan Hartman. "In fact, we spent considerably more on securing the water right than we did on developing the first phase of the park."
The Recreational In-Channel Diversion water right ensures a certain minimum flow, when water is available, before any future upstream developments (i.e., golf courses) can make a play for it. Unlike other water rights, it's also nonconsumptive, meaning it can still be used to satisfy other downstream rights.
Vail, Breckenridge, Pueblo, Gunnison, and Steamboat Springs quickly followed suit to secure recreational flows for their parks. Earlier this year, the Grand County Board of Commissioners applied for surface water rights associated with two pending whitewater parks on the Colorado River.
"The Golden decision was the big breakthrough for recreational water rights cases," says water attorney Steve Bushong of Denver's Porzak, Browning and Bushong. "These municipalities are trying to protect their investment, and the parks provide the diversion and control necessary to meet the right's requirements. It's the new West."
ANNUAL REVENUE: $2.5 million to $4 million
Golden, Colo., Public Works Director Dan Hartman always knew that Clear Creek, which flows through downtown, could be far more than just a water source for the nearby Coors beer factory. The kayaker and rafter reasoned it could also be used like the sections he paddled upstream. So in 1997 he began turning it into the country's first publicly funded whitewater park, setting off a movement to bring adventure sports to "municipal backyards."
The concept wasn't new. Tennessee had just spent $27 million turning the Ocoee River near the City of Ducktown into a dam-controlled canoe slalom course for the 1996 Olympic Games. Closer to home, hydrologist Gary Lacy, owner of Boulder, Colo.'s Recreation Engineering & Planning (REP), had recently designed a park for kayakers and other paddlecraft users on Boulder Creek
What was new was Hartman's idea for a park fully funded by taxpayer dollars. "We used funds committed to parks, which included state lottery money, open space money, and a little of our parks capital money," he says. The minimal cost and simple implementation made his proposal an easy city council sell.
The second hurdle: administering the project through two city departments. "Public works oversaw bank stability and permitting, including nationwide 404 [for work in wetlands and other waters] and erosion permits. Parks oversaw the contract budget and coordinated with funding entities," explains Hartman.
The first phase, building the seven westernmost structures in the river, cost about $175,000 and was completed in 1998. In 2002, the city added seven more drops for another $225,000.
Today, the 13 drops and other features of the 800-foot-long course draw kayakers from all over the country. According to an economic impact report by Stratus Consulting, the park brings in 40,000 visitors and $2.5 million to $4 million annually. Admission is free; revenue comes in the form of increased sales tax collections from visitors buying everything from gasoline to meals and lodging. "The benefit is easily twice what we expected," Hartman adds, "and its use continues to explode."
Other parks around the state are similarly successful. Stratus Consulting reports that features like the manmade waves and hydraulics, or "holes"— made from strategically placed boulders and gradient enhancements — that kayakers, rafters, and even inner-tubers flock to in Golden, on the Yampa River in Steamboat Springs, and on the Arkansas River in Salida add as much as $7.2 million annually to local coffers.
"Our park impacts all of downtown," adds REP's Mike Harvey, who runs the company's riverside office in downtown Salida. "Our annual FIBArk boat race festival used to be a loss leader and now it makes more than $50,000 each year. And it's all due to the park. It's like South Beach, Rocky Mountain-style."
This year, parks on the North Fork Payette River in Idaho and the Bow River in Alberta, Canada, opened. In Michigan, four are under way in hopes of creating an economic engine that relies on water instead of gasoline. Parks were recently unveiled in Illinois and Iowa.
Colorado — which hosted the first international white-water park conference in 2005 in Glenwood Springs and another last year in Salida — leads the pack with nearly 30 such parks, nearly half of the country's total. They're funded by the municipalities and grants from such entities as the Colorado Lottery and state Department of Natural Resources, and located wherever there's water, gradient, and people. "The park balances out our tourist season, eliminating the slower economic periods of the year," says Glenwood spokesperson Vicky Nash. "It's a great asset to the community."
In many cases, they also turn outdated and dangerous low-head dams into amenities. For example, in 2010 the town of Lawson — 30 miles upstream from Golden — rebuilt a stretch of river damaged by construction of a nearby interstate. Restoration involved removing hazardous culverts and adding a clear-span bridge. The whitewater features allow the river to return to a more healthy state while providing a venue for boaters of varying skill levels. Terracing, riverwalks, and handicap-accessible trails provide attractive spectator areas.
Maintenance and future plans
Hartman budgets $25,000 every other year for upkeep like fixing rocks that shift and removing sediment. The city has used up the river's available stream gradient and therefore can't expand the park, but related improvements are part of a creek corridor master plan.
"The plan isn't complete — it's meant to be a long-term plan over the next 40 years or so — but it does include a fair amount of changes adjacent to the park," he says. These include a small water feature intended to offer wading opportunities for children, as well as a trail on the south side. "But the whitewater park itself has been a resounding success and has totally revitalized downtown."

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Aggression (the good, the bad & the ugly) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/)
- - What am I doing wrong? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/460417-what-am-i-doing-wrong.html)
What am I doing wrong?
We have a 3 year old, 120 pound GSD named Major. He is mild mannered and loves everybody yet he is a fiercely loyal mama protector. We adopted an 18 month old GSD from a kill shelter so Major has a buddy to play with. Preacher is emaciated (about 30 pounds under weight) and we are working with him to slowly build his muscle and gain weight.
We introduced the dogs but Preacher would have no part of butt sniffing and immediately attacked Major. Major coward and slinked away. We have to keep Preacher in a metal crate or on a leash while in the house or outside.
Two days ago, Preacher was playing ball with me and nipped me by accident while he was giving me the ball. Major came unglued on Preacher. Preacher is no match for Major and Major had Preacher down in a heartbeat. He didn't hurt Preacher, just had him down and let him know that he is not one to be messed with. Preacher was submitting quickly. I gave Major the command to let go and he did. Herein lies my grief:
As soon as Major let go of Preacher, Preacher was in attack mode on Major and the fight lasted less than 15 seconds while I tried to break up the fight. Major had Preacher back down but wasn't hurting him. In the meantime, I got bite four times on my side (serious puncture wounds) and my hand was tore up (18 stitches).
Now every time Preacher sees Major, he growls and lunges at him. Major stays away from Preacher's "area". Major is not afraid of Preacher, he just doesn't want conflict.
What can I do? What did I do wrong and how can I rectify this? :help:
Well, you are obviously well- intentioned! However, neutered or not, it is advisable to go with two members of the opposite sex. Also, dogs are primal creatures and your healthy dog may not appreciate the unhealthy dog's presence simply for that reason- just like younger dogs turn on the elders.
Even if you had greater harmony, the two dogs would fight to ascertain dominance, and then it would be settled.
Is playtime with other dogs necessary for your adult? Perhaps the premise is flawed- purely a question!
Major is telling you this dog has a problem! He needs to be retooled, I would start here, pretend you just got him...start over:
I just got a rescued dog – what do I do? | stickydogblog
And this should prove helpful:
Wheres my sanity: Sit on the Dog, aka: The long down
And this should prove helpful for awhile I'd combine it with the 'Long sit" for awhile:
A Great Small And Lightweight Nylon Mesh Muzzle
Consider it more of a training muzzle, not as secure as a basket muzzle but as long as you have eyes on the dog it works. It should be helpful in moding his behaviour. But don't short cut the other stuff! Dog can quickly learn ..he can get this muzzle off! But it's a OK muzzle on dogs that aren't wildly out of control! Sort of like... OH muzzle off?? It's go time!
I been where you are only difference is my rescue took 7 months to turn into a "tool!" Had I followed most of the links I posted, before learning all this stuff, the hard way, maybe I would not have had stitches??
More links here in post 8: And especially "Who Pets my Puppy or Dog.":
And multi dog homes:
Introducing a New Dog into a Home with other Dogs
Two or More Dogs
So safe to say...your not alone! Sit down the ground work on who is in charge is the first step! You can't correct a dog who has little or not enough reason to respect you as a leader! Well I guess you could but...not recommend!
It's going to be alot of work!
Oh yeah one more look at Rank Drive here:
(Elements of Temperament, by Joy Tiz )
Good luck and yeah welcome aboard. :)
To answer the questions:
Major is a registered European Military War Dog and still intact. Preacher was neutered last week before we picked him up from the shelter. It is obvious that Preacher was a "field, stray" and had to scrap just to survive.
Major, the healthy dog, wants to do some butt sniffing and has tried to play with Preacher but Preacher gets "that" look in his eyes and begins to snarl and lunge at Major. As long as he doesn't lunge at me, Preacher is safe with Major.
Major loves to play and we have a 17 year old GSD that just wants to be left alone, so we got Preacher for Major.
Thank you for the advice so far. I will check out everything advised to me and go from there. We thought about walking the two dogs together so they can get better used to one another away from the house (we live in the boonies) and maybe some butt sniffing can ensue.
I was told to purchase the Don Sullivan package and use his techniques to train Preacher. Major is a trained military war dog and could use a refresher.
Have you heard of this guy and if so, what do you think?
He basically...does not take crap from dogs! Maybe an over simplification but that's the essence!
That works fine "if" you first know what your doing and you are that kind of leader!
I would think "I just got a rescue" and "The sit on dog" is a much more reasonable first step for most people.
Before you invest take a look here:
BowWowFlix.com: Dog DVD Rentals | Dog Training Dvd | Dog Dvds | Rent Dog Videos
Pack walk is fine but that does not mean he still won't have an issue at home! You run a real risk of having the dog "come up leash on you" if you get the "because I say so method wrong!"
I don't see Major as a factor here he's being "forced" to deal with a lack of discipline in this dog. Not his job but if you don't he will...not good!:eek:
I've lived with same sex aggression for years with two of our girls. Not worth it. Will never do it again. Find Preacher a new home without any males dogs and test him with females to make sure he'll get along with them as well.
Boxer and Buddies policy is "NO" female Boxers in a household with a female Boxer! A different breed maybe???
Not the case here. Male male pairings are pretty common. Dynamics are much different! I will "Never" do a two female household myself. Don't think that's the problem here, the younger dog has no respect for pack members because he has little respect for the pack leader.

Little update- I misread my vet paperwork. she was given 1.5 ml of dreaded drug.
she is feeling much better. Diagnosis from our rehab vet was a pulled groin muscle which combined with hitting her arthritic knees caused the pain. took a couple steps back in the rehab process but today she was galloping around the house (according to my husband)
So glad this is over!

I tend to see sensitivity slightly different from an overdose. As you said, everyone reacts differently, and the age of the pet, any medications they were on and such can make an effect. But in general, because it doesn't bind all the receptors with an activating agent, once the receptors are bound, they are bound, and it doesn't like to let go as readily as some other ones. It's why you can use it to help with withdrawal from other opioids and to help with lessening the effects from a stronger opioid. Cats is my best example. They tend to really have trouble with full mu opioids. It causes a really bad level of dysphoria and at times, aggression. Buprenorphine is the preferred medication because it isn't as strong as the others due to it's binding and the cats are much happier with half the receptors going.
I'm glad she feels better and those other medications are working. You may want them to go easy on full mu opioids with her too in the future. So be cautious with morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl. If they use or can use methadone it may be the better way to go! Much less dysphoria seen with that one and it's really nice for pain control.

To simplify it, Buprenorphine is supposed to work to stop opioid addiction by beating them to the punch sort to speak. It has a stronger binding ability. Buprenorphine pushes out exsisting opioids and takes up the receptors, replacing them. All opioids (full and partial) have pain reducing properties. Buprenorphine binds to receptors and produces endorphins (natural painkillers) just like any opioid would but at a lower/slower rate. The sudden drop in the amount of endorphins produced is what causes withdrawal symptoms at first, but then the body adjusts to the levels as Buprenorphine replaces the original opioid. Both full and "partial opioids" get endorphins and dopamine flowing. The bodies own natural levels become obsolete. In essence, trading the addiction of an intense opioid to another less intense "palatable" one. There are still withdrawal/dependency issues with Buprenorphine use just as any full opioid. It has some pretty nasty side effects as well as some unknown/not fully understood effects on the nervous system.

You can't overdose with Buprenorphine. It is an agonist-antagonist partial mu opioid. So what it does is bind all the receptors, but some of them are bound with what amounts to just a blocker. It isn't activating the sites, so it generally only activates half of the mu receptors in the body. This limits the amount of it that can be active at a time. It can even be used to partially reverse full mu opioids (morphine for example). So it is in many ways a safer one of them to use, however some times pets will be more sensitive to it than otherwise.
It is interesting to me that they chose that one, since it is generally more expensive for larger dogs, but the symptoms that you mention definitely can happen with opioids. It causes a certain amount of dysphoria. Some dogs are more sensitive than others. Age also plays in a factor. I have noticed that older patients seem to have more dysphoria than the younger ones. It should last around 8-12 hours before it will start fading out of the system. Didn't read all of what was written, but I figured I would at least add that in about the burprenorphine.

That makes sense though I read your sentence above 4 times and still didn't get it)))))))
LOL! Yes. The Opoids and their receptors are confusing!!! But yes in a nutshell. But that's why we pay Vets money, someone has to understand this muck.
I will note that while used a lot, buprenorphine is not a very strong pain killer nor does it have a long duration of efficacy.
OP- glad your pup ate some for you!!! I hope that it's all up hill from here!!!!

It's a partial antagonist to certain receptors and a full agonist to others. That's why it can be used as a pain med and a heroin treatment.
I would have to pull out my pharmacology book, but I THINK it's a fill mu agonist and then a partial antagonist to 2 other receptors. So it can be used to block drugs that are agonists to the receptors it's an antagonist to. Clear as mud? LOL pharmacology was not my best subject.
So in other words, if a drug is an agonist for the opioid receptor Delta, then a Delta antagonist is used to counter act it. Some drugs are full and partial agonists and full and partial antagonists. So it may work with one opioid receptor and block another one, all at the same time.
Hense the multiple uses for the same drug.

This is a little off topic but what confuses me about using buprenorphine for pain is the antagonist part of it. Methadone is used for pain all the time but it doesn't have the blocking property. I guess I'm wondering why the blocking property would be useful do anyone but a opioid addict.
I tried googling and didn't find the answer but it's being widely used so I'm sure there's a reason. Maybe they use it because of other properties and just ignore the blocking property.

Tory councillor guilty of homophobic slur

The controversy over local Conservative councillor Peter Willows's association of homosexuality with paedophilia does lead many people to wonder whether attitudes in the Tory Party have really changed.The most popular Tory website, conservativehome.com, described by Conservative chairman Francis Maude as "the only place to find out what's going on", is run by a man who says that "the Bible teaches that homosexuality is always wrong". Meanwhile a senior Scottish Tory expresses "moral qualms" about same-sex adoption.It seems you only have to scratch the surface of Cameron's "compassionate" Conservatives to find the same old deep-seated prejudice in a Party which at best is tolerating non-heterosexuals as a means to an electoral end.How many of the Labour government's successes in delivering the Stonewall agenda of rights and freedoms – Section 28 abolition, civil partnerships, equality in age of consent, ending discrimination in goods and services provision amongst others – will be at risk if the Tories return to power locally and nationally?
I dont care if he has publicly appologized. Councillor Peter Willows has to go!
Maybe if the gay voters of Brighton weren't so bloody apothetic there wouldn't be a massively Tory dominated council.
I don't think any equality legislation would be at risk if the Conservatives get back in power. It's just to risky a proposition for David Cameron to have to face the legal hassles and the expense, not to mention the embarrassment. Besides, I believe Cameron IS a genuine believer in gay rights.At work recently, another woman, talking about a recent case of baby rapists, told us all what she thought; "I'd put them all on an island together and leave them to rot. All the paedohpiles, lesbians and homosexuals." What's more she said it right in front of me. She's no Troy, she isn't even middle class and until that little outburst, I considered her a friend, and I am a very out lesbian at work. She apologised to me naturally, but I will never ever forget that. As I am sure the gay residents of Brighton won't, and let's face it, there are far more of them than there are of Peter Willows.Personally, I think Willows is a wanker. Period. But I also don't think semi-naked gay people in public are going to alter homophobic views, quite the opposite, they merely reinforce stereotypes and strongly held prejudices; i.e. they do more harm than good. It is about time that we stopped acting like sex-starved strippers at Pride events, and started acting like the decent human beings we really are.
The Tory's will never change. They're a bigoted bunch of idiots. And as for your 'friend' (2nd paragraph above), she clearly believes it other wise she would not have said it – I think it's time to re-assess who are your true friends at work.
Tory attitudes are definitely different among the young but it is too much to ask that the older members of society change their lifelong held beliefs.Worse, I am seriously concerned that no-one here thinks that saying what you think, whether right or wrong, shouldn't be a criminal offence.Cllr. Willows is not right (obviously) but he should be allowed to be wrong publicly without having to go to court. Otherwise we're not free.
I would take issue with Councillor Ayling, free speech is one thing but those of us in public office are supposed to set an example by not promoting homophobia and an atmosphere where violence against LGBT people might be encouraged. As elected representatives we have a duty to promote equality and a safe society where everyone is free, not made to feel like criminals because of their sexuality.And Rob F, Brighton Hove City Council isn't "massively Tory dominated", there are 23 Labour councillors (including me) and 20 Tories, plus 11 others, so no-one has a majority. Elections are in May.
Cllr. Willows is not right (obviously) but he should be allowed to be wrong publicly without having to go to court. Otherwise we're not free.Free to do what?Put gay people in danger. After reading this and IDS recent comments , there goes my tory vote.
p.s. quote I don't think any equality legislation would be at risk if the Conservatives get back in power.With due respect have you never heard of clause 28?
Peter Willows' comments are well out of order. By saying what he said, he is only promoting fear and prejudice within our society against the gay community. It was good that he apologies, but why say it in the first place if you need to apologise afterwards. The sentence should be a lesson to anyone who thinks that they can get away with insulting a minority group. As for free speech, I'm all up for that but not when it promotes violence, hatred and is unfounded.
Jay Nemes, interviewed for this article, is worng when he says Willows apologised. He did not. He only insisted he was misheard, and then had to withdraw that claim following recorded evidence. A simple test on free speech. had Cllr. willows said "blacks" and not "gays", would anyone, except the BNP perhaps, be defiending his free speech? Volunteers? Mr Nemes?
Utterly disgraceful that someone should be vilified and punished for a mere comment, however distasteful. The next step is to prosecute gay people for casual anti-christian (for example) ribaldry. – J
i have added two comments to this, but after I read about Jay Nemes and Johnny Core the two gay guys giving £40 towards this Cllrs costs.I had to post again. I live in a house that has had gay graffitti, and regularly has things thrown at it. We are now soon to have toughened glass put in the windows, and have a protective film added to others. We have found out that from one source we have adledgely been labelled peodophiles as well as a load of other things. We are in fact a couple of middle age gay men with a passion for gardening and have nothing to do with what they have said about us. The two gay men that have said that freedom of speech is being compromised is not. Freedom of haterd is, and so it should be. Some people sit in high places in safe houses and have no idea what the consequences comments like this have on the gay community at large. When we first heard what was being said about us we were very scared and at one point feared for our lives.It is an emotive word that people do and have reacted on, sometimes with terrible circumstances.
I am so pleased that Peter Willows has resigned. In a City with a strong LGB and T community the comments he made are extremely dangerous.They are offensive to this community and to many others in the City including myself- a heterosexaul.His age is absolutely no excuse , there are many gay people who are this age and over who have had to put up with this discrimination for the whole of their lives.

text: Fairmont's Ferrell will carry state's honor By Rick Ryan June 29, 2012 Story Share AP Photo Fairmont's Jess Ferrell is the only West Virginian in the field at the Greenbrier Classic. The excitement is starting to build for Jess Ferrell, the 19-year-old from Fairmont who right now is the only West Virginia golfer in next week's PGA Greenbrier Classic.Pretty soon, he'll be rubbing elbows with some of the world's top players."Yeah, it's starting to sink in,'' Ferrell said Thursday. "It will really sink in Monday when I'm on the [driving] range with them, and on the golf course with them.''Ferrell, a rising junior at Fairmont State, earned an exemption into this year's Greenbrier field by finishing in a tie for second at last year's State Amateur and beating Hurricane's Sam O'Dell in a playoff.Christian Brand, last year's Amateur champion, played in the 2011 Greenbrier Classic, but with the PGA tournament moving up to the Fourth of July week this year (and being played before the 2012 State Amateur), last year's runner-up gets this year's Greenbrier exemption.And unless someone with West Virginia ties earns a spot in Monday's qualifier -- someone like Bakerton's David Bradshaw, Freeman's John Ross or Edgewood Country Club pro Craig Berner -- then Ferrell should gain additional followers as the state's lone representative in perhaps its biggest sporting event."I'm expecting a lot of people to come watch me,'' Ferrell said. "A lot of people in Fairmont said they'll come. My dad [Willard] is going to caddy for me, my mom and sister will be there all week and friends of the family are coming to watch Thursday and Friday."So I've got a little following - not anything like the other guys - but maybe about 30 people.''Ferrell is only guaranteed two rounds in the 72-hole tournament, but the first State Amateur winner to play in the event left his successors with a hard act to follow. Jonathan Bartlett, the 2010 Am champ who recently turned pro, made the 36-hole cut on the Old White TPC course two years ago. "That's my ultimate goal - making the cut,'' Ferrell said. "The only thing I've got to do is play two good rounds. If I hit the ball well enough and hit enough greens to make birdies and stay around par, then everything's going right. I figure the cut will be around par."I'll just try to have as much fun as I can, and what happens happens.''Ferrell has been preparing this week by playing rounds at the Pines Country Club and Lakeview Resort in Morgantown and working with Pines golf pro Russell Reid.He hasn't let himself daydream about whom he might be paired with for Thursday's opening round."Not really,'' he said. "Last year, Christian was paired with some of the lower-level pros. They usually pair us with the Monday qualifiers. I don't think they'll pair me with anybody [famous]. If they do, it'd be a great surprise.''Ferrell is pleased to be part of what is being billed as the strongest field in the three years of The Greenbrier's PGA tournament. "There's a lot of big guys coming,'' Ferrell said. "That's what they do in a new event, build on them. The first year, it's not real popular. Last year it was a pretty big deal, and this year everything's happening."By the fourth year, everybody will be there. It'll be one of the biggest events of the summer - a good, family atmosphere. Bring the family down and do what you want at the resort. Especially if they keep the Fourth of July weekend, they'll have tons more people coming over.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or email@example.com.

ACC Announces Football Opponents
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Friday North Carolina's home and away conference opponents for the 2013 football season.
The Tar Heels will play host to Boston College, Duke, Miami and Virginia in Chapel Hill, and will travel to Georgia Tech, NC State, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. The complete 2013 ACC football schedule, including specific dates, will be announced by the conference in February.
As the conference did in its previous expansion in 2005, this year's schedule of league football opponents is an entirely new scheduling model that is not based off the previous schedule. Carolina's primary crossover opponent in the Atlantic Division remains NC State. This year's rotating crossover opponent is Boston College.
Carolina also completed its non-conference schedule with the addition of Middle Tennessee State on Sept. 7. The Tar Heels have seven home games next year, including four conference matchups, plus games with MTSU, East Carolina and Old Dominion.
Carolina opens the 2013 season at South Carolina.
The Tar Heels return 13 starters from last year's squad that went 8-4 and tied for the Coastal Division title.

Mrs Roberts was the wife of the Muggle man who managed the campground near to where the Quidditch World Cup was held in 1994. She had two children with him, including at least one son, who was her youngest child. The family lived together in a stone cottage at the front of the campsite.
The Roberts family were attacked by Death Eaters the night after the Quidditch match. One of the Dark Wizards flipped Mrs Roberts upside down in mid-air, making her nightdress fall down, and revealing her "voluminous" drawers to everyone. The other Death Eaters laughed as she struggled to cover herself. She was not seriously injured during the incident.
Mrs Roberts' memory was presumably altered to forget the incident.

text: Here's how I think this draft is shaping up for the Pistons. I think they'd like Cousins or Favors the most, but I believe the major consideration in how much they accept giving up to get into a position to draft them is entirely dependant on how well they like Monroe, Aminu, and Davis. Possibly they might privately love someone like Udoh or someone else, but my guess is that it's going to come down to Aminu and Davis, since one or both of those guys is highly likely to fall to them. Here's the thing about Aminu and Davis - they're both very fine athletes who can really rebound and defend. If Aminu is projected to be a 4, he might be very attractive to us. What's the biggest issue for the Pistons? Defenders. A defensive frontcourt of Aminu at the 4 and JJ at the 3 - both being guys who could swap between the 3 and the 4, and who could both guard 2's as well, could be a great defensive building block for our team. Davis projects as a 4 or even a 5, but most likely an athletic and very good sized 4 who can protect the rim as well as just about anyone in this draft, and who'll rebound great. Again, that's an ideal building block skill for the Pistons. The truth is that both of those guys might be better fits for the Pistons big needs, rebounding and defense than Cousins or Monroe would be. Of course, Cousins low post play is also a big need, and it's a lot easier to find defensive presences at PF than true superstar low post skills in a center. That brings me back to the Pistons trading. If I'm right about this, and the Pistons really like Davis and or Aminu and/or Monroe, then there's less reason to give up our best trade asset - Tay. Also, Tay is a stabilizing player for our young team - but I hesitate writing that, since I believe he no longer plays a style consistent with where this team is and should be heading, a get up and go style team. (Sorry to be so tangental here, but Aminu racing up and down the wing with Jerebko and/or Daye with Stuckey and/or Bynum pushing the ball could be really great. Back to Tay here) If we like what we're going to get in the 7th spot, then Tay can certainly be traded for a really nice asset at a later point in the summer (e.g., a Duckworth type player - a decent physical center) or at the trade deadline.

Alexander Wang Spring 2013
"It's all about dissection," declaimed Alexander Wang backstage, moments before unveiling his masterly collection, "tension and subtraction expressed through structure and fluidity."
Deconstructing garments is not a new conceit in fashion, and certainly flourished in the work of the avant-garde eighties and nineties designers that Wang often obliquely references, but the designer proved his authority in this collection by taking that idea in an intriguing direction that stayed true to his own streamlined, hard-edged contemporary sportif-chic aesthetic.
"We wanted the garments to float on the girls, but not in an ethereal way," Wang explained, "always keeping the structure."
So he explored the idea of taking apart the various pattern pieces of a stiffly tailored garment—a boxy jacket, a shift dress, a wide-cut dress shirt, and the season's already ubiquitous shorts—and leaving a slither of air between them. The individual elements were held together with wide-spaced, giant-scaled fagoting threads, or with a fine ladder of clear plastic filaments (barely visible unless viewed up close), that slyly revealed winks of flesh beneath, or the contrasting color of another garment (in Wang's monochrome world that generally meant white under black). The stylishly inventive gladiator boots were actually season appropriate too—constructed of a series of black leather lozenges held together up the leg with more of those filament threads and left completely open in the back.
For his opening looks, black leather collars and virtual "pockets" seemed to float against a bonded fabric ground; the dickey of a formal mannish evening shirt did the same. There was a whisper of edgy modern couture in Wang's commanding handling of the horizontal strips of greige python in a skirt that flashed the leg beneath in between the bands, and the crisp white cotton shirt cut to drape like a toga and transform into an alternative cocktail dress, and the thickly embroidered shaded gray bugle beads that created a subtle trompe l'oeil python effect on a sleeveless shirt and pencil skirt. Ultrachic too were the body-skimming sheath dresses in waving horizontal panels of stiff white cotton or black leather, and a fine nylon sweatshirt with python trim.
The plaited cables of a conventional sweater were blown up to a giant scale and knitted in the round to caress the torso, and the overscale string "shopping bag" was a playful take on the idea of negative space.
For his striking finale, Wang sent out a posse of platinum blonde amazons in white and vanilla separates. In a spectacular coup de theatre, the lights went down and the garments came to fluo life, glowing in the dark, as the girls turned and marched away—a dramatic curtain call for a collection that confirmed Wang's place in the vanguard of New York's fashion innovators.

J. Walter Thompson London creatives have been travelling the country to domestic violence problem areas plugging in a Wi-Fi router which instead of offering internet connection delivers the unsuspecting public an apparent Facetime call with a woman who is about to become the victim of domestic abuse.
"Signal for Help" works by offering the public Wi-Fi that appears as an unlocked signal 'Free_Public_Wi-Fi' but when they connect, instead of a login page the user is served a powerful dramatic short film of a woman pleading for help before being cut off.
A statistic then says: "Only 16% of suspected domestic abuse is reported to the police." As the film ends the user is given the opportunity to save the non-emergency police number 101 to their phone so if they are ever concerned about domestic abuse they have the number to call.
J. Walter Thompson London creatives Will Wright and James Lucking created the router that holds the film and phone number. They then travelled around the country specifically targeting towns and cities which have the highest reported incidents of domestic abuse and plugged the router in at high footfall areas.
Called "Signal for Help" the campaign was created for the Bede House, a Southwark-based charity that supports local people by helping them create better lives for themselves, their families and their communities and will be running as long as the charity feel it is effective.
Lucas Peon, the Executive Creative Director of J. Walter Thompson London, said: "It's a deeply shocking statistic we feel needs to be tackled putting our best thinking to work. It was vital that we found a solution that went beyond just raising awareness and actively empowered people to act. After watching something so shocking, the action we're asking for is so simple I can't imagine who wouldn't do it. It's a serious solution, for a serious problem.
"Using free Wi-Fi as the hook allowed us to unexpectedly deliver the message and gave us the ability to be targeted in our approach. The film feel is purposely disruptive and personal which suits the mobile format and motivates viewers to save the number to their contacts."
Nick Dunne, Director of Bede House, said: "Bede was founded in 1938, so we have deep roots in this community. As society changes, we continue to seek new ways to reach those most in need. This project interests us because it explores the potential of modern communication methods to "break the silence" that surrounds domestic abuse and enable more people to find effective help to live safely."

I've been trying to find a Business English (teaching) course that's not online, without success.
IHworld sends you to a list -- write the people on the list and get told either "no" or hear nothing -- except the one that says it's reserved for their own grads.
As I have a JD it seems like a natural fit... but how do I find an actual live course?
Many thanks!

Unfortunately, we do not have time machines to return to an era in which the Ice Age was beginning, but we can assume there were climate change deniers. Fast forward thousands of years and at the beginning of the 21st century there are those who believe any alterations in the climate, if they actually are happening, are most probably a good thing. A recent conference of deniers entitled: "Global Warming: Was It Ever Really a Crisis?" attracted hundreds to New York where they discarded any scientific claims as simply hysteria. A key not speech was given by Vacla Klaus, president of the Czech Republic and currently EU president, who believes efforts to deal with climate change are an attack on freedom. "the largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy, and prosperity, at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, is no longer socialism. It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism."
The forces of reaction and head-in-the-sand deniers are supported by hundreds of Washington lobbyists who seek to curtail any efforts to deal intelligently with the overwhelming evidence of global warming. There are now 2,400 lobbyists in Washington D.C. who constitute 15% of all lobbyists, and their goal is to head off the dreaded "tyranny" of environmental action. Reality is that words will not change their minds. Economic and political interests are their main concern and the world be damned.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Another vet is coming soon to the House to check on him, though I already know what will happen next. He ate today, in fact he barked for more and drank water but he's not walking, he tries to and falls and keeps trying.
There is also blood coming from his mouth, not a lot but there is. He's being his usual self, growling and barking at the other dogs in the House.
Everyone that watched him walk and fall would ask me why wasn't I thinking about the chance of putting him down. They would not understand that even though he was not able to walk properly, he would still get up, ask for food, drink, pee and poop. Roll over on his back asking to be petted.
But now, I think there is nothing I can do to stop what is coming. I would really love to hear this vet say that there is something to try for him....but would it be fair for him?
So sorry to hear this, it's hard to let a buddy go. I can say you will know when it's time, A bit more helpful as long as the dog is not in pain and will still eat and drink and has some sense of sprit, you can still fight.
If they are in pain and or will no longer eat then it's time to let go...sorry.
There is much honor to be found in fighting the good fight...there is tremendous hardship and confusion to be found when we can't get what we try and wish so hard for.... Your spirit and 'heart" are all in the proper place. I only so wish we had a "magic wand " at times. Regardless of how this unfolds, it seems you have a big heart, your pooch is fortunate because of this. Let your conscience be your guide. There are no easy choices....just selfless ones which are sometimes the toughest to make but perhaps the kindest to our ailing furry friends.
Is it time to let go? What would you do if it were your dog...
When do you know it is time to put your dog down? Should I allow my dog to be put down?
I am talking here about my male 12 years old pekingese. He has gone through so much, he was Dx with Cancer at around 5 y/o. Everything went well, the tumor was removed and he received chemo. He has always walked "funny" but since last year he has gotten worse, he barely walks without falling, his rear legs are weaker than ever but he would still walk and get up. There is something wrong with his bite and teeths too (Do not know how it is known in english). We believe he was a really bad cross. My mother bought him at a pet shop when I was a kid, she went for his sister but when my mother saw him, she fall in love with him too... So my mother arrived with two puppies instead of one. Her sister is the opposite, she still walks, runs and jumps.
He's a dog that would still eat and drink... He is a dog that would fall asleep at 9 p.m and sleep until 1 pm next day, wake up to eat, drink, pee and sleep again until his next meal at around 7-8 p.m....
He pretty much spends his days sleeping and so does her sister.
Here is the deal:
A few days ago I noticed a spot near his nose in between his fur, with a little of blood. I started cleaning the place and applying betadine since then....but today the water bowl was full of blood...
I went to check on him and everything was fine...except there were now 3 little holes. I instantly recognized them as worms, I took him to the vet and they were cleaning and taking them out, not only from near the nose but his mouth.......... I do not know how it all happened.
My family and my vet want him to be put down TOMORROW...
I am having a difficult time believing there is nothing we can do for him. I knew the time was coming but I was not expecting this, not like this. The vets offered a surgery but they believe he will not handle it.....
They gave him antibiotics, anti inflammatory....he is not eating since yesterday night. We cannot give him anything but serum....I just gave him which he drank openly....he is sleeping at this moment, he is kind of more OFF than usual....
What would you do in my situation? Would you let him go? What bothers me the most is the fact that they are not giving him any chance....

I lost my Queen about a month ago.
As it turns out, the Queen I ordered (via mail), never arrived.
Can I assume this Queen will arrive dead if it arrives at all?
Should I just let nature take it's course and let the replacement Queen continue or should I order another Queen?
Why is the replacement Queen sometimes "inferior"?

No. 7 Seed Green Bay Battles No. 10 Seed Iowa State Saturday
By: Jill Wunrow
AMES, Iowa (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - As the No. 7 seed in the Kingston region, Green Bay (30-1, 17-1 HL) faces No. 10 seed Iowa State (18-12, 9-9 Big 12) Saturday, Mar. 17 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN2. For the second time in program history, the Phoenix is making its fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament while the Cyclones are making their sixth-straight appearance.
Both teams are making their 13th appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Green Bay earned a seven seed after a 30-1 season, winning a record-14th consecutive regular season Horizon League championship. Iowa State is one of seven Big 12 teams selected to the field of 64 after advancing to the Big 12 championship game.
Saturday's game marks the third meeting between Green Bay and Iowa State, all coming in postseason play with the Cyclones owning a 2-0 series record. Both games were decided by an average 6.0 points and both were played in Ames, Iowa. Green Bay fell 79-71 in the first round of the WNIT Mar. 16, 2006 and led the majority of its most recent meeting with the Cyclones Mar. 23, 2010 before being edged 60-56 in the final second in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Since its last meeting against Iowa State in 2010, Green Bay has compiled an impressive record of 64-3. Green Bay is 5-12 overall in NCAA Tournament appearances and 3-3 under fifth year head coach Matt Bollant while the Cyclones are 16-12 all time in NCAA Championship games. Iowa State is one of just 16 teams to make the NCAA Championship field in each of the last six seasons.
Green Bay joins a list of 20 teams (including Baylor, Stanford, and Delaware this season) who entered the NCAA Tournament with at least 30 wins and no more than one loss. All 16 of the previous teams advanced at least as far as the Sweet 16.
With an appearance in this year's tournament, seniors Julie Wojta (Francis Creek, Wis.) and Hanning Quilling have played in more NCAA Tournament games (7) than any other Phoenix players in the 39-year history of the program. Under Bollant, all six of the NCAA Tournament games have been decided by 10 or fewer points. Green Bay's wins have been by an average of five points while its losses have been by an average of eight points.
Of the 64 teams in the NCAA Tournament, the Phoenix ranks second in turnover margin (+9.19) behind Kentucky (10.9) who is also featured in the Ames, Iowa site. Green Bay's scoring margin (+20.1) ranks sixth while its 12.5 steals per game is seventh among the field of 64. The Cyclones 7.3 three-point field goals per game ranks sixth among teams in the tournament.
BOLLANT VS. THE BIG 12... The four-time Horizon League Coach of the Year, Bollant is 1-2 against opponents from the Big 12 Conference. Bollant led the Phoenix to a 68-56 win over Kansas State in his first season with the Phoenix. In addition to the loss against Iowa State in 2010, Green Bay fell 86-76 to Baylor in the program's first Sweet 16 appearance in the 2011 tournament.
FROM POTENTIAL TO POTENTIAL ALL-AMERICANS... Both Green Bay and Iowa State will both feature potential All-Americans leading their respective teams in Horizon League Player and Defensive Player of the Year Julie Wojta (Francis Creek, Wis.) and Chelsea Poppens, respectively. Wojta leads the phoenix with 19.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, posting 18 double doubles this season. In Green Bay's 2010 NCAA Tournament appearance in Ames, as a sophomore, Wojta averaged 11 points and seven rebounds.
Poppens, a unanimous All-Big 12 selection this season as a junior, averages 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds per game to lead Iowa State. As a starting freshman, the 6-foot-2 Poppens had eight points and five rebounds in a 60-56 second-round win over Green Bay.
Both Wojta and Poppens were recently named All-Region nominees for the WBCA Division I Coaches' All-American Team. Wojta and Poppens are two of 52 players to receive the honor for their respective regions.
RELIABLE RITCHIE... Second Team All-League selection Adrian Ritchie has proven to be reliable for the Phoenix when it comes to NCAA Tournament play. In her five NCAA Tournament games, the 5-foot-11 guard is averaging 9.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. In last season's second round win over Michigan State, Ritchie poured in a game-high 20 points, going 4-of-5 from three-point range. Ritchie thrives under deadline situations as twice this season she has made last-minute game-deciding shots. The junior sank a three with 0.6 second remaining against then No. 25 Georgia Tech to send the game into overtime. After Green Bay trailed by nine with 59 seconds to play in regulation against Youngstown State, Ritchie poured in nine points, including three game-tying free throws with 19 seconds to play to send the game into overtime.

The Kahr P series has a few refinements that are lacking on the CW series, nothing major, but more expensive. The P's have a little more 'smoothing' machine work on the slide, the barrel has polygonal rifling, and the front sight is dovetailed on, rather than pinned, so it can be upgraded, if desired.
I had a P-45 for a while, and it was a great gun. But it wasn't all that much easier to conceal than my Commander-sized 1911 clone, so I swapped it off for a K-9, so I could have CT Lasergrips.

News Release
Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030
Nov. 1, 2007
Update: The sinking of the Texas Clipper has been rescheduled for Nov. 17, 2007.
Texas Clipper To Be Sunk as Artificial Reef
AUSTIN, Texas — When she is finally sent to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico Nov. 17*, the USTS (United States Training Ship) Texas Clipper will go down in history as the artificial reef that almost wasn't.
The stakes were high all along: as an artificial reef, the ship is expected to generate as much as $30 million annually for local economies over a lifespan of at least 50 years. The complex, durable structure with its high, vertical profile will form the foundation of a vibrant community of corals and other invertebrates, as well as recreationally important "bottom" fish such as snappers and groupers, and pelagic species like cobia, king mackerel and dorado.
The 473-foot vessel was mothballed twice between periods of active sea service before retiring as the oldest ship in the United States Merchant Marine fleet in 1996. Then, on the cusp of being turned-over to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as that agency's most ambitious artificial reef project, the ship sank at her berth at the U.S. Maritime Administration facility near Beaumont, Texas. Even as she was raised and patched, last-minute negotiations saved the Texas Clipper from the scrap heap and she was towed to Brownsville, Texas, for environmental remediation and preparation as a reef.
"It would make a good movie, the twists and turns in this story," said TPWD Artificial Reef Program Coordinator J. Dale Shively. "There were times when we thought for sure the project was dead."
But nearly a decade after the state first applied to MARAD for the transfer of the Texas Clipper as part of the artificial reef program, success is in sight. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certified Oct. 1 that the ship is free of hazardous materials. She will be towed to a site 17 nautical miles from South Padre Island, Texas. The next morning, workers will open valves to flood the ship and allow her to settle 134 feet to the hard sand bottom. Two days later, the site will be open to the public for diving and fishing.
"This ship has an incredible history," said Shively. "Of course, after three decades as a Galveston-based training vessel, she has a very strong Texas connection. But we like to say she's already had three lives, starting in the Pacific theatre during World War II, and her role as a reef will be her fourth life and final journey."
The Texas Clipper, most recently (1965-1996) a maritime training vessel for Texas A&M University-Galveston, began her life as the USS Queens (APA-103), a WWII transport and attack ship. As the Queens, she participated in the Pacific war and was the first attack troop transport to arrive at Iwo Jima. After the war she was recommissioned as the SS Excambion, one of the post-war "four aces" of the American Export Lines. As the Excambion, she carried cargo and passengers in luxurious style between New York City and Mediterranean ports.
As an artificial reef, the Texas Clipper will be the site of several scientific monitoring programs. The University of Texas-Brownsville will partner with TPWD to monitor biological growth on the hull of the ship from the very beginning, and Texas A&M University and the National Marine Fisheries Service will conduct an ongoing experiment to look at the pace of corrosion in Gulf waters (this will be useful for, among other things, gauging the potential environmental impact of wrecks containing fuel, oil and other ecologically harmful substances).
"The benefits — to the local fishery, to the economy of South Texas, and to ongoing science — are tremendous," said TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Director Larry D. McKinney, Ph.D. "The only reason we don't have more of these complex reef communities in waters off Texas is because we lack the hard substrate that corals and other reef organisms need to get established. We can provide that with artificial reefs — whether former oil production platforms, concrete culverts or something as magnificent as this ship."
Prepared for reefing by Resolve Marine Services, Inc. (with ESCO Marine, Inc. as subcontractor) in Brownsville, the Texas Clipper will go down as possibly the cleanest ship every deliberately sunk for this purpose. Remediation, just completed in recent months, has included the removal of 1,680 cu. yards of asbestos and more than 76,000 pounds of PCB-containing materials.
EDITORS: Seats are still available for journalists on boats going out Nov. 17 to observe the sinking of the ship. TPWD has extensive photo and video documentation of the entire USTS Texas Clipper reefing project, including the initial move from the ship's "mothball" mooring near Beaumont, Texas. We also have historical photos of the ship under all three names.

As it has been the trend over the last decade, organizations must continue to deal with growing data storage requirements with the same or less resources. The growing adoption of storage-as-a-service, business intelligence, and big data results in ever more Service Level Agreements that are difficult to fulfill without IT administrators spending ever longer hours in the data center.
Many organizations now expect their capital expense growth for storage to be unstoppable, and see operating expense levers-such as purchasing storage systems that are easy to manage-as the only way to control data storage-related costs.

Rush & crush at Stop & Shop
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader | August 09. 2013 6:37PM
The Stop & Shop on South Willow Street in Manchester was buzzing on Friday with shoppers taking advantage of the supermarket's closing sale. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
Mancuso was just one of hundreds of shoppers who flocked to the six Stop & Shop supermarkets in New Hampshire, after the company announced that most in-stock items would be available Friday for 50 percent off.
Stop & Shop Supermarket on Tuesday announced plans to close all six of its Granite State grocery stores and three gas stations on or before Sept. 21, with layoffs expected for 670 employees.
The announcement came a week after Shaw's Supermarkets announced it was closing six of its 34 grocery stores in New Hampshire.
"There's no way I'm carrying all this in the rain," said Regavos. She said she heard about the sale from her sister, who called to tell her she had to get to the store to stock up.
Inside the store, customers were lined up 14 to 16 people deep at checkout registers, several with two shopping carts overflowing with items. Another 13 were waiting for access to the self-checkout machines.
"The beer shelves are emptying out," said Cerullo. "It's like the rush you get for a blizzard. I'm getting ready for Labor Day."
David and Leanne Savio were pushing around a shopping cart with a child's ride-in car attached to the front. Inside there was no kid, just piles of cereal boxes, toilet paper and tissue boxes.
The scene was much the same at the Stop and Shop at 365 Lincoln St. in Manchester.
Shelves normally filled with cold cuts and meat products were empty by 1 p.m. Friday. Office products were also gone, as students loaded up with back to school supplies.
"There are a lot of great deals today, but everyone working here is losing their job," said Morgan. "I wish they would make enough today to stay open."

Ive been kicking this around in my head for awile and haven't done a whole bunch of looking recently so it might already be there i just haven't yet heard of it.
Anyways i know we can all use a google-fu type in the product name along with filetype pdf and for the most part get what we want. However i think it would be worth a domain and a hour or so at the end of each week for someone to put this together.
So rather than having to search for everything every time, or have it scattered across dozens of lists on dozens of sites why not have ALL of it come together in one location. Im sure it would be a gigantic list but it could detail everything from router passwords to sql default passwords, even down to satellite passwords. The idea being that even if some of it might be a little sensitive, that the list would just be so massive that you would have to know exactly what your looking for.
Any thoughts ?

John Harrigan: Of wandering dogs and deer and those rascal red squirrels
JOHN HARRIGAN | January 25. 2014 7:44PM
There hasn't been enough snow to compel the deer to yard up, meaning to come from miles around to clump up under cover of big softwoods with abundant food to forage for nearby. In the yards they create a network of trails in the snow, giving them a chance to escape predators, which they would not have floundering around in deep snow.
Unlike wild predators, dogs are assured of food and a warm bed at home, and can burn up energy chasing deer with abandon. Wild predators have to calculate when the chase has to be called off, so it can rest for a bit and then seek easier prey. Dogs are not playing by the same rules.
While I was doing dishes and listening to Click and Clack, the Tappit brothers on New Hampshire Public Radio, a woman called in to complain that her Miata (a low-slung sports car convertible) is lousy in snow. They quickly advised her to get the best snow tires she could buy.
They aren't - that's why they make snow tires. My truck wears four deep-treaded snow tires, with studs, and I hardly ever have to give any thought to the weather except to revel in it, whatever comes over the horizon.
Red squirrels are neat little creatures, and I love to encounter them in the woods, even if their scolding alerts other animals that I'm there.
But red squirrels can make a mess of a house, and once in a while I find tracks in the snow into and out from the foundation, and hear squirrels racing around in the attic, emerging outside only to seek food.
And while I hate to do it, every now and then drivers passing by will see a .22 poking out the sink window.

A sea level Golden Horseshoe nominee*
A good question would be why I bothered to research a claim in an obscure comment, on an obscure letter to the editor in a regional newspaper I have never read, and I don't really have a good answer. Clearly, looking for substantive points in newspaper comment threads is a bit of a fool's errand, but I was still surprised at how completely wrong every single aspect of the comment was. Given that I did look into it, it is worth sharing here – just on the off chance it will save someone else the bother.
* The Golden Horseshoe award, whose name derives from the Hammett quote above, is for spectacular wrongness in the climate discussion, first initiated by SomeAreBoojums, and occasionally revived by the Wabett.
