The Alone to the Alone (edition 1947)
by Gwyn Thomas, Ian Rowlands (Foreword)
Work details
The Alone to the Alone by Gwyn Thomas
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The only way to give you a genuine idea of this book is to quote it -- extensively, which I'll refrain from overdoing. The Alone to the Alone is endearing and funny, and the grey reality of its subject matter only serves to emphasise the warmth and humour of the book itself. It does gymnastics with language without even touching the edge of self-conscious pretentiousness (at least as I see it).
His complacency, between the whisky and the way we stood there dumbly listening, had reached a fresh peak. His face looked the cosiest thing on earth. With leather binding on the ears to take the strain one could have sat on it and felt grateful.
As for plot, well, it's set in Wales, in the slums, during the Great Depression. It's about love and poverty; unemployment and the Government; justice and injustice, with a greater emphasis on the latter. It's a political book, and decidedly left-wing. There is anger in this novel, but it's veiled by a sort of ironic garrulousness - and the resigned tone of the narrative voice is perhaps its greatest charm.
We were seeking, without wealth, influence or a map, for the materials of a new social understanding aimed at something lower than love, a muddied concept, but fixed beyond the chilling reach of envy and contempt. A large order as all know who have taken more than half a dozen steps beyond the cradle. Now here was this Shadrach measuring our rhapsody for the hatchet and describing us as woodlice. We gave the term some thought for we had never been called that in the afternoon before. We are larger, fairer-skinned and faster. We eat no wood unless it has been thoroughly ground beforehand...
Gwyn Thomas reminds me a lot of Ruth Park - but that comparison would give a slightly skewed idea of either author. Still, think of The Harp in the South, and you've got something at least similar to The Alone to the Alone, only the latter is funnier, has more elastic language, and verges oh so slightly on the absurd.
I'm not sure why others feel there isn't an ending to this book; it was satisfying to me. Those who deserve it most get their come-uppance, and there is a much-needed avoidance of a fairytale happy-ever-after.
Absolutely fantastic book I read grinning from ear to ear with the occasional burst of out-loud laughter, only to be disappointed (and somewhat suprised) by the fact Gwyn Thomas hasn't really ended it. Or at least he hasn't ended it very well. If he'd finished it properly this really would have been a stone-cold classic, a Welsh Flann O'Brien but better. The quality of the prose is excellent. Looking forward to Dark Philsophers; Gwyn Thomas seems to have given himself a bit more space to work in with that one, judging from the width of it.
A perfect book for those without a sense of justice, poetic and otherwise.

Post Isaac, New Orleans Restaurants Hustle to Reopen
Amidst the fallen trees and chaos, there is hot boudin being served (again).
Seven years ago, Herbsaint was the first fine dining restaurant to reopen after Huricane Katrina. The day the city had potable water, Donald Link and his staff were serving duck confit and Champagne to diners eager for food (other than the street cart hamburgers being served by rescue crews), community–and a sense of normalcy. The chef and his staff made the same commitment today, when Herbsaint, Cochon, and Cochon Butcher were among the first to open their doors for lunch and dinner service. Although the restaurants have back up generators for their coolers, all three were running on city power.
"We could have waited until tomorrow," said Link, "but it's nice to see people come into the air conditioning, when they're hot and tired from not sleeping in their un-airconditioned houses, and relax and get back to their regular lives by eating and drinking well."
While 90% of the city remains without power, The French Quarter and much of the Warehouse District are blinking back to life. "There are a lot of down trees, but it's nothing like Katrina," said restaurant publicist Liz Goliwas Bodet. "It's just a regular old hurricane, which we haven't had for a while. You know what it's like when you step on an ant pile and all the ants go nuts? That's what the city feels like."
The official Isaac Update website for the New Orleans CVB is sending the message that the city is open, but call to reconfirm reservations with airlines and hotels and attractions, just in case, because Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is still closed due to power issues (it's slated to reopen tomorrow).

Not Your Mom's Zucchini Bread
Recipe by Chef Carol Kay
Yes, another zucchini bread recipe but this is soooo good. You've got to try just once. Sometimes I substitute 1 cup of the all purpose flour with whole wheat. The flax seed is optional, but no one really notices it, so I can boost the nutrition up a bit. THE LAST THREE INGREDIENTS ARE FOR THE CRUMB MIXTURE, IT WAS NOT LETTING ME LABEL THAT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.
Top Review by tednjoc
As delicious as this sounded, it did not turn out well for me at all. Despite baking it for much longer than the recipe called for, the loaf was quite undercooked in the middle. I bake quite often, and don't think I did anything wrong, so I am perplexed as to why the bread was such a flop.

Next time, use Easy-Off oven cleaner, or Gunk Gel, and hose it off in the yard.Then use brake cleaner, then heat.

Just finished cleaning the cosmoline off a Yugo SKS I purchased several months ago.
Had to wait for my wife to be out of town so she couldn't object to my using the oven. Hope the cosmo smell goes away before she gets back.
Anyway, that is the LAST time I buy anything with cosmoline on it. Cleaning it up just sucked rocks... tho www.surplusrifle.com was very helpful with disassembly instructions and advice.

We took what we could fit into one of those "carb cleaner in a bucket" kits and let it soak overnight, then those parts went into the dishwasher... Factory fresh and no cosmo.
The rest of the parts received a good soak in mineral spirits or brake cleaner...
Mineral spirits works great. Get a plastic flower box (they're about 6-8 inches wide by 36 inches long). Poor your mineral spirits into the container, separate your action from the stock & but metal parts in & scrub with a stiff brush.
After you clean the metal parts, soak the stock in it as well. The mineral spirits will removed the soaked in oil/grease that is on the stock & since there is no water in it.......not damage to wood.
After cleaning the stock, you may want to set it out in the sun to help 'bleed' some more of the oil out of it........& clean again. After that is should ready to stain.

When I cleaned-up mine, I mixed carb cleaner with water and boiled it on the stove, placing all the metal parts in there. Worrying about rust, I then carefully cleaned each one when it came out with plain Rem Oil.
The stock... well that was easy. The oven worked perfectly.
To this day, that rifle is still very prized by me. It's in GREAT condition and will eat anything you feed it. It always goes to the pits/range with me when other stuff stays at home.

100LL if you can get some will take the cosmos off in about ten min i cleaned two rifles in 2 hours top to bottom with 100LL and it smells good too.
You can use lacquer thinner mixed with some Carbosol (both hardware store items) Mix it with Talcum powder into a thick paste.
Maybe corn starch would work also...powdered marble dust works real well if you can find it at an Art Supply Store.
Wet the stock down with lacquer thinner and then QUICKLY paint a fast heavy coat of the paste on the stock.
As the solvent starts to evaporate and dry out of the powder it pulls the free excess oil out of the grain/pores of the wood.
You might have to do it a few times.
It works.

Oh have I got a treat for you...
I've been there and done that with two wives,,, too dang many times to list...
I am a mil-surp nut,,, and the best way for me to keep it from being a dinner issue is to just go to the car wash.......... I only use this method for the metal,, some of those old laminates are iffy and need some more TLC to sweat it all out... Slow.... But the steel can take it...
It's alot easier if you have a pick-up,,, but I've done it driving my mustang.. Find a local self wash that runs hot water...... Break the whole rifle down, take an old peice of carpet and a bucket,, wear some kind of glasses, rubber gloves, pants you don't care about,,,,
and you can figure the rest out pretty easy........
If you wash the car too it takes about 10 mins... I found a great way to make nice with the wife on this by taking HER car and washing it... Then she'll even sit still for the (new) mil-surp show and tell I love to have when it's done... She even pretends to care!!
100LL is 100 octane low lead aviation fuel. costs about $4.50 a gallon at your local private airports

Hey all, i just did some work on my 02. I did a catless up pipe and down pipe, and put in a new turbo (just a new td04). After the install i figured it would be loud but it seems almost to loud, like a possible exhaust leak. I wouldnt even know where to start looking. The turbo is pretty loud now, but not leaky loud. My g/f says the exhaust sounds almost like a diesel truck
Any help there?
ALSO! I just went to an open source tune. While i was getting it done we did a street run to see how everything was. My tune was set up for 18psi and my car was only hitting 14.078. We adjusted the wastegate actuator. Took it back to the garage and my tuner said he thinks its my turbo inlet. We looked it at and there was a tiny little rip, i dont think it was even all the way through the rubber, but he said they are usually worse on the bottom. I was leaking boost, my fuel correction was at 10%, and ever since the up pipe and downpipe install i have been back firing like a mofo. I already ordered the new inlet, but im wondering if you guys think it could be anything else.
Like could it be a leak from my uppipe or downpipe? Sorry guys im not to good at diagnosing things

Hot water from cold pipes, plumbers are stumped
The problem
When faucets in our house are first used, you get a long wave of hot water from the cold water side. After a while, maybe 1-2 minutes, the water will finally get cold again. And when I say "hot" I mean too hot to touch. Things used to work fine, so this isn't a fundamental screwup in the plumbing.
The plumbing
I have a two-story home with recirculating hot water (dedicated return pipes). The water heater (WH) is in the garage, and was replaced about three years ago. It's a Kenmore 75 gallon unit, and I think our problems started sometime after the WH replacement. Originally, the hot water return went to the recirculating pump, and then into a T-connector on the WH cold input. The first fix attempt (which was well after the new WH was installed) replaced the recirc pump with a Grundfos UP10-16BU ATLC (which has in internal check valve), and replumbed the water return line to enter the WH through the lower drain spigot. This seemed to help a little with our problem, but didn't fix it.
What I've done to diagnose
For all faucets or other appliances that connect to the hot water and have accessible cut-off valves, I tried turning off the hot water to see if that helped. None made any difference. We still have about six bath and shower valves where the pumping is in the wall so I can't turn off the hot side manually. I believe all of them are Delta brand. I also tried unplugging the recirculating pump: this effectively reversed the problem: we'd no longer get hot water from the cold taps, but then we'd get cold from the hot side for a couple minutes. Basically, what you'd expect without recirculation. I've had two plumbers come check out my system. The first "checked" all of my in-wall faucets and declared them to be fine, replaced my hot water recirculating pump, and rerouted the return water line. That didn't fix the problem. The second plumber wanted to install a check valve in series with the pump, but since the pump has an internal check valve I wouldn't let him. I became suspicious that we were getting convection (thermal) mixing, so I had plumber #2 put a 8-inch vertical rise and fall in the cold water input to the WH (like an upside-down sink trap; I think this is called a heat trap). But that made no difference.
Both plumbers suggested putting in a cold water check valve to prevent backflow from the WH, but I'm reluctant to do this. For one thing, I believe CA plumbing code requires that I also install a thermal expansion tank, which is extra cost, annoyance, and potential maintenance hassle. But more importantly, everything used to work fine without a cold water check valve. There should be no way for hot water to be pumped through the cold water system, unless I have some crossover connection between my hot and cold lines.
Ideas? Can Delta mixer valves leak from hot-to-cold without water coming out of the fixture?

I suspect one or more shower cartridges are the problem
Sent from my iPhone using DIY Forum. Watch out for spell check
Where are you?
The last time we saw this problem,the member was from southern California and the pipes were run through a hot attic----and were heated up there--no plumbing problems at all---
Since turning off the pump stops the issue it can be concluded that there is at least one fixture passing water. Any one handled device that mixes hot & cold could be at fault.
I would get up in the early in the morning before any water is used and feel the fixtures for warmth. The offending device(s) will be warm while the ones that are OK will be ambient.
The cold water pipe going into your hot water heater ---- if you hold the pipe 3 feet from the water heater, is it hot or cold?
On page 5 of this manual http://www.pexuniverse.com/docs/pdf/...ion-Manual.pdf they specify allowed and not-allowed orientations for the pump. Is your pump mounted in an allowed orientation?
Still, this seems the like the best candidate solution. The problem is that my house has five of these cartridges, and at $40 each it's pretty pricey to replace them all speculatively, and really time-consuming to replace them one-by-one (each time I have to drain the water lines, replace the cartridge, turn water back on, and wait several hours to see if the problem went away).
I have an infrared thermometer hidden somewhere in my house (ahem!), and once I find it I'll try the experiment again using more precise readings. I'd really love to pinpoint one (or two) suspect fixtures.
Last Summer everyone across the U.S. during the Heat wave, had issues with incoming water being warm, even though most of us live in areas, that the pipes are at least 6 feet underground, but the problem was from the water being warm, when it was coming from the plants.
Seabeast, take a thermometer such as this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Progressiv...n-Red/16630653 and post what the reading is.
199 Attachment(s)
What was the right answer to that question?
199 Attachment(s)
Have you pulled a cover plate off a shower/tub valve and checked for integral stops?
They are small stop valves located at the H&C inlets w/screwdriver slots.
If you have them- turn them clockwise to kill the water to the mixing valve
This will stop any cross over at that location.
I can't say if Delta's will or will not cross over- but its worth a look.
The handles may be too insulated from the fixture by plastic cartridge parts. Check a metallic area or better yet the connection pipes on sink faucets and the cold side of the valve body on showers. (requires removal of handle and escutcheon plate)
Later, I repeated the test at an upstairs bathroom and got similar readings for both hot and cold.
This morning I did the test again. This time the HOT side got a little above 120F (hard to read precisely on that tiny thermometer dial), but the cold side still peaked at around 110.
On the topic of WH temperature, the last plumber I consulted on this problem was alarmed that I had my WH temperature set to a little above "C". He rattled off a long list of disasters this would surely cause, including hot water from my cold taps, melted washers, blurred vision, flatulence, etc. To humor him, I dropped the temperature down to "A" for a night to see if that would solve my hot-in-the-cold water problem, which of course it didn't. But then I did some research on what A, B, and C meant, and decided to go with "B". Supposedly on my Kenmore WH, A=130F, B=140F, and C=150F. The question buried in this is "what are the odds that 'B' really corresponds to 140, and if they're not good, what's the recommended method of determining the actual WH temperature?"

You are herecontent / CAMP CASEY MAGIC COMES TO DALLAS
By Jeff Norman
U.S. Tour of Duty
Now that I'm in Crawford, I realize the situation here is even more remarkable than what I had been hearing and reading. In terms of scope, energy, and organization, Cindy Sheehan and her supporters are making history.
I arrived in Austin yesterday afternoon at about the same time as Gold Star mom Karen Merideth did, so we drove to Crawford together. Our first stop in President Bush's hometown was the Crawford Peace House, which is adorned with a multitude of anti-war signs that can't be missed by anyone who drives by. Gold Star brother Dante Zappala picked us up and took us past Camp Casey I (the infamous ditch) to Camp Casey II on a ranch owned by the cousin of a man who fired a shotgun last week in a manner nobody interpreted as inviting. On the way we saw various pro-Bush signs on residential and commercial properties. The most prominent and most mixed message is across the street from the Peace House at a gift shop dominated by Bush memorabilia called the Yellow Rose. Its propietor has placed pro-war slogans on a monument with the ten commandments, including, of course, "Thou shalt not kill."
By now most people have heard that Camp Casey II is only a mile away from Bush's highway, but what's even better is that a huge tent with a raised stage and impressive sound system have been installed just a few feet away from a Secret Service checkpoint. I wonder how the officers there feel about listening to a relentless barrage of criticism directed at the man whom they are guarding. Maybe I will ask them.
I said a quick hi to Joan Baez backstage before she performed a well-received 30-minute solo acoustic set for the crowd of families, veterans, and supporters gathered in the tent. When she had trouble seeing her lyric sheet, she quipped, "At least I want to read." Although the audience laughed at her reference to Bush's notorious aversion to the printed word, Baez explained that since she found out about the president's traumatic childhood, she generally refrains from mocking him. Generally.
After Baez's performance, U.S. Tour of Duty's own Jeff Key played "Taps" on his bugal at the edge of the street, immediately adjacent to hundreds of crosses that have been erected in memory of our fallen soldiers. The entire audience momentarily left the tent to gather around him, with Baez standing at Jeff's side. Baez, who's life has been devoted to anti-war activism nearly as much as it has been devoted to music, described the brief ceremony as one of the most moving experiences of her life.
The effort to engage Americans in a meaningful discussion about the war in Iraq is expanding throughout Texas and elsewhere, starting tonight in Dallas. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, whose credibility is now more irrefutable than ever, is flying in to support the military families, and to remind us all of a very simple but important fact: Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Jeff Key (Iraq Veterans Against the War) and Karen Merideth (Gold Star Families for Peace) will also speak, and slam poet Genevieve Van Cleve - who opened for Baez last night at Camp Casey - will deliver a spoken word performance. "Caught in the Crossfire," an extraordinary 16-minute film by Mark Manning about the U.S. bombardment of Falluja, will be screened. This U.S. Tour of Duty event will begin at 7:00 PM, and will be held at the Hughes-Trigg Student Center on the campus of SMU. Admission is free, but donations to U.S. Tour of Duty will be accepted at the venue and online at www.ustourofduty.org.

I'm so glad i'm sixty years old. Maybe i won't have to live to see another stupid, immoral war like the ones i've witnessed so far in my life.
Or better yet, maybe, just maybe, someday the people of the USA will learn that all people, from all countries and all continents are human beings-Homo sapiens, just like we are.
Come on, America, open your jingo mind. Learn to share with others. Get away from "more more more" and "me me me"

Is there any way that this could be changed? The current grenades seem to kill you if you're within 1-2m, but past that they only very lightly wound you, no bleeding or anything.

Agreed: in the games that I've played, rarely are there ever fatalities from grenades (especially hand grenades): those only happen if I get lucky and lob a grenade right at the feet of an AI soldier who doesn't seem to react or try to run away...
Updated by q1184 over 7 years ago
Finding good values is not as easy as it sounds, as damage drops off exponentially beyond indirecthitrange - at twice the indirecthitrange the damage will be only 0.05*indirecthit, at 3*indirecthitrange it will be as low as 0.025*indirecthit. Hard to make a grenade reach farther, while only keeping it deadly at close ranges and not overpowering it tremendously.
For those interested, the empiric formula for indirecthit I found back in the day is:
(x - distance to grenade):
x <= indirecthitrange: damage(x) = indirecthit
x > indirecthitrange: damage(x) = indirecthit*exp(-3*(x-indirecthitrange)/indirecthitrange)
where 'damage' is hit taken by individual selections (head-body-hands-legs). It then is divided by overall armor and selection armor, which afterwards is used to calculate the overall soldier damage.

Killing radius is 5m, and 15m is the causality causing radius.
Fragments can still travel some good distance though, but that's just a RL thing, not something of concern for this game.
Updated by SimonC979 over 7 years ago
Is it not possible to increase indirecthitrange? That might do it for closer range stuff, whilst keeping the maximum damage down, and it would still have the same sort of drop-off of damage.

Can't you use the frag effects from the claymore for the frag grenades?

Updated by Minoza over 7 years ago
I think you can apply same ticket for mortar artillery and mines... Their damage radius is simply too small... From RL experience I ahve many friends who have been into war and they worked with this. One of them worked with mortars, he said damage radius from one mortar grenade is 30-50 meters at least... Same for mines. Yet in game, if you stand 15m away from mine you wont get wounded.

If Richard Moore and Beverly Perdue stop sniping over resumes, degrees and ages, they will see the real target in the Governor's race. And they can remind voters why North Carolina needs a Democratic governor next year.
Republicans always say that North Carolina's schools are failing. Their solution, always, is to starve the schools of money. A new study on poverty and Southern schools shows why that is nuts.
The study by the Southern Education Foundation showed that – in 11 Southern states – a majority of the children in public schools are poor. In the 12th, North Carolina, the number is 49 percent.
In other words, half of our students are coming to public schools every day from homes of need, poverty and deprivation.
And we expect teachers and principals to overcome those obstacles.
There is a straight-line relationship between students' family backgrounds and their performance in school.
The only way to overcome this drag is heavy investment in education and, especially, in early childhood programs – like Smart Start and More At Four.
Let's be clear: "Heavy investment" means spending more money.
And the public supports more money if there also are tough standards and accountability measures.
The hidden agenda of the Republican candidates for Governor (with the possible exception of Bob Orr) is to cut education spending, not raise it. That's why Democrats have held the Governor's Office for sixteen years. And it's why we should stay there for at least four more.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/2/2014 (1223 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Salaries make up the lion's share of any business or large organization, be they in the private or public sector.
And the Brandon School Division is no different, where salaries for teachers and other staff make up approximately 85 per cent of the annual budget. That leaves only 15 per cent of a yearly budget to run division services and maintain buildings.
While costs year over year for school operations do increase — not to mention the added costs that come with an increasing enrolment for the BSD — most of the difficulties facing school divisions across the province are due to ballooning teacher salaries.
And with the four-year collective agreement between Manitoba school divisions and the Manitoba Teachers' Society set to expire on June 30, every public school teacher in the province will start bargaining for a new contract on July 1.
The expiring collective agreement had given teachers two 1.5 per cent raises the first year, and three years of two per cent raises. While BSD board chair Mark Sefton said that contract gave trustees some "predictability," it also pushed teacher salaries into the stratosphere.
And perhaps, right out of the market.
As of the first day of the 2010-11 school year, a Class 5 teacher with 10 years of experience could expect to make $75,249. By the final year of that contract, a Class 5 teacher with 10 years of experience now makes $81,053. Of course, not all teachers make that wage. Class 1 teachers in their first year make a current annual salary of $35,379, and a Class 7 with 11 years experience (the highest wage level) makes $92,682 per annum.
With all this in mind, we were simply shocked last week when Sefton told a Winnipeg reporter that he was worried that in the next round of contract negotiations, teachers will seek the level of higher increases that police and firefighters are getting.
As the Sun has recently reported, Brandon police received a 4.4 per cent raise last January, plus a top-up in July. And this year, police officers will receive a further three per cent increase. And in the most recent municipal compensation disclosure supplied by the city — from 2012 — a quarter of Brandon police were already making in excess of $100,000.
Sefton's comment could not have been made in the dark. Certainly he either suspects that the Manitoba Teachers' Society intends to push hard for these kinds of wage increases or he has been tipped off.
Since the NDP came to power in this province, school divisions have been at the mercy of arbitrators when it comes to teacher salaries. We've said this before on this page, but it's worth repeating: It comes down to either negotiation or binding arbitration for teachers, who don't have the right to strike in this province.
As a result, salary costs continue to inflate, as arbitrators look around the province for comparable increases.
So when it recently came to light that in order to reduce spending and keep any tax hike to a minimum, possibly dozens of teaching positions had come under the knife in the BSD 2014-15 budget, we were not really surprised. Teacher salaries have been heading in this direction for years.
As you can read in today's Sun, division trustees in Brandon tentatively approved the budget yesterday, making about $920,000 in cuts and reductions, and axing 11 teaching positions in the process — the majority of those possibly eliminated through retirements.
While the resulting 2.9 per cent proposed tax increase is better than the board's "worst case" scenario of a four per cent increase, it will not be enough of a cut for some outspoken ratepayers in this city.
Nevertheless, these cuts are not welcome news to teachers, the union, nor to Brandon parents or their kids. And there's proof enough of that. Of the 486 residents who filled out a recent division survey regarding the five funding scenarios for the budget, more than 90 per cent of respondents wanted taxes to go up by four per cent because they were concerned over the quality of education.
Clearly the survey, which was handed out to media during yesterday's meeting, was skewed by a small sample size and an overly large number of participating parents and students, if not teachers to boot. It should not even have been conducted — four per cent is simply untenable. No matter how much we value a quality education for our children, we simply cannot continue to do so at all costs.
How these cuts will ultimately affect the collective bargaining process as it begins later this year is anybody's guess, but we can likely describe the mood around the table in a single word.

Police identify cyclist killed in South Anchorage hit-and-run
Updated 7/20/2014, 11:00 a.m.: Anchorage Police Department has identified the cyclist killed as 51-year-old Jeffery Dusenbury of Anchorage. Charges against the 17-year-old driver are still pending.
ANCHORAGE – Police are investigating a hit-and-run crash that took the life of a cyclist in South Anchorage Saturday morning.
The crash happen just before 10:30 a.m. at Spruce Park near 84th Avenue and Spruce Street, according to the Anchorage Police Department. An officer at the scene said a 51-year-old man was biking past the park when he was struck by a black Chevy pickup truck speeding in reverse down 84th Avenue.
Officers detained a 17-year-old girl who they believe was at the wheel.
Celestina Adcox lives directly across the street from the scene, and said the truck was going so fast she could hear it screeching. The driver hit the bicyclist in the back and continued in reverse, hitting the wooden bollards along the outskirts of the park.
The truck fled and Adcox sprang into action.
She said she yelled for another witness to get the truck's license plate number and call 911. A trained nurse, Adcox said she did all she could to keep the man alive until medics arrived.
"He was still breathing because he was laying down on the right side. I don't want to move him because he might have (a) head injury," Adcox said. "The police came and he said, 'Let's do CPR.'"
Adcox and the officer took turns performing CPR on the man. She said he was unresponsive before ambulances arrived. The man was taken to the hospital where he died, police said.
Police are in the process of notifying the man's family, and APD spokeswoman Anita Shell said no charges had been filed against the driver as of Saturday afternoon.
It is not yet clear whether the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said.

New York Works | Lifeguard Janet Fash
New York City beaches are open from Memorial Day through Labor Day under the watchful eye of some 1,300 lifeguards. With a starting rate of $13.57 an hour, it's a good gig for someone who's saving for college and for people who have summers off like Brooklyn native Janet Fash.
Fash, 51, has been patrolling the beaches in the Rockaways for 31 years. She works as a teacher during the school year, but spends her summer managing a team of lifeguards along a half mile stretch of sand and ocean in Queens.
"The first thing I do when I get to work is I look at the ocean," said Fash, the chief lifeguard at Beach 96th Street. "Is it high tide? Is it low tide? Do we have any rip currents? And the next thing is to assign the lifeguards to their chairs."
A petite 5-foot-6, Fash doesn't look like someone who could save a struggling swimmer. But her frame is deceptive.
"I always like to say the water equalizes us," said Fash, "I'm a great runner, and I can run fast like a lot of the guys and I can swim really fast. And when you get in the water to do a rescue you have your tool, a torpedo, and you're floating, you know, it's not the same as being on land."

Thanksgiving Dinner – Cranberry Sauce
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. – Alistair Cooke
My least favorite food at Thanksgiving dinner is cranberry sauce. This sweet gelatinous goop is not appetizing to me. My dislike of this sauce is because it comes from a can and is too sweet. My friends and family swear by it and without cranberry sauce it isn't Thanksgiving dinner. But does it have to come from a can? Is this it? Is this the standard in which cranberry sauce is judged?
What is cranberry sauce? It isn't just cranberries smart_ss!
Lets set the record straight. There was no cranberry sauce at the first Thanksgiving dinner. Yes the Pilgrims and Indians had cranberries but sugar was a rare luxury. Try eating a cranberry and find out why you need sugar. I triple dog dare you!
Cranberry sauce became popular when General Ulysses S. Grant ordered it served to the troops during the siege of Petersburg in 1864. In 1912, Ocean Spray Cape Cod Cranberry Company started caning cranberry sauce commercially. The rest is history.
Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle…. What! This isn't Cranberry sauce!
Okay, you already know I dislike cranberry sauce but I tested many for this post for journalistic integrity. Sounds good right? I tried the store bought cranberry sauces and also made a few from scratch. I was surprised by my findings.
Oh the humanity! Try to avoid the canned cranberry sauces. Compared to any of the homemade sauces they are visually unappealing to outright disgustingly sweet gelatin. The amount of effort involved to make cranberry sauce is minimal. It is worth the effort. I actually liked how it tasted.
I made a few of cranberry sauce recipes and there were two that stood out. The first recipe was submitted by Joanne from Willowbrook. Joanne's cranberry sauce recipe is a citric wonder. Its main ingredients are grapefruit, honey and crystallized ginger. It is very good. I highly recommend it.
The second is my favorite recipe and comes from the zany Alton Brown of Food Network fame. Alton's tart cranberry dipping sauce is out of this world. Its main ingredients are orange juice, ginger ale, real maple syrup and light brown sugar. A little of this sauce goes a long way. It's can be overpowering.
Below you will find both recipes. Serve both this Thanksgiving and judge for yourself. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THE CANNED STUFF.
Cranberry Sauce by Joanne of Willowbrook
Makes about 3 cups
1 bag of cranberries (12 oz.)
1 Tbsp. grated grapefruit zest
1 cup fresh grapefruit juice
¾ cup honey
1/3 cup minced/crushed crystallized (candied) ginger
Over medium high heat combine the cranberries, grapefruit zest, juice and honey in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir constantly. Boil for about 5 minutes until the cranberries pop. Remove from the heat an cool to room temperature. Stirring will speed the cooling. Once at room temperature stir in the crystallized ginger. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until serving.
Tart Cranberry Dipping Sauce by Alton Brown
Makes about 12 serving
1 lb. frozen cranberries
2 cups orange juice
3 cups ginger ale
2 Tbsp. real maple syrup
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
½ tsp. kosher salt
1 orange, zested
Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan (stainless steel) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 45 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half.
Carefully puree in a blender until smooth. Serve in small bowls or ramekins.

carb spacers
does the 2 inch spacer have any advantage over a 1 inch? what is better 4 hole or open?
It may help a little to keep the fuel a little cooler.But not enough to notice.In it depends on which carb you have for the open or four hole. :confused:
Sometimes a carb spacer will actually hurt your horsepower. From what I've read in magazines like Hot Rod, Car Craft, etc, most of the gains offered by a spacer are less than 10hp, usually only at the peaks. Each engine will respond differently, though, so you might pick up some noticable power with one.
It's pretty hard to say ballpark statements about carb spacers. The only way to really know what your engine likes it to put them on a dyno.
If you have a 2-plane (180degree) manifold, using a 4-hole spacer will keep it a 2-plane manifold and may or may not help the fuel mixture make the turn into the manifold runners without crashing into the manifold floor and creating turbulence.
If you have a 2-plane manifold, using an open spacer will effectively turn it into a single plane (360 degree) manifold which may hurt bottom end cylinder filling and aid top end cylinder filling. Or not. :eek:
From BG web site,
Tuning With Spacers
Spacers and plenum dividers provide an easy way to change the configuration and the characteristics of the intake tract and the relationship it has with the carburetor. Adding a plenum divider to an open plenum manifold can help keep the left to right fuel distribution balanced for oval track applications This is especially helpful on alcohol engines.
Using spacers between the carburetor and intake manifold can produce dramatic results. The use of a four-hole spacer can improve low end to mid-range by helping the carburetor draw and atomize fuel. An open center spacer increases the plenum area and can benefit the mid-range and upper rpm power. It is not uncommon to see combinations of spacer types or stacking of similar type spacers being used.
The actual results from any spacer or combination of spacers can only be measured during a test and tune session on the specific engine combination being run. This information can be a very useful tool when tuning to find the best horsepower or to change the power characteristics to suit a specific track condition.

Shoppers Drug Mart says generic pricing to hit 2013 same-store sales
By Krithika Krishnamurthy
(Reuters) - Shoppers Drug Mart Corp, Canada's biggest pharmacy chain, said tightened pricing controls for generic drugs will push its 2013 pharmacy same-store sales outlook to the lower end of its previous guidance.
The company had previously forecast pharmacy same-store sales growth of between 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent for 2013.
Canada's provinces and territories agreed in January to tighten caps on prices of six widely prescribed generic drugs to cut costs for private and government health programs.
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall then told Reuters that more could be done to cut the cost of generics, among the highest in the world.
The new rules mandate drugstores charge no more than 18 percent of the price of the brand-name equivalent, lower than the previous 25 percent to 40 percent cap. The rules kicked off on April 1.
On a post-earnings conference call, Chief Executive Domenic Pilla said "there will be several impacts" of this new rule in the second quarter.
Price controls have crimped growth at Shoppers and rivals such as Jean Coutu Group Inc in recent years.
Average prescription value fell 4.8 percent in the first quarter ended March 23. Continued...

Ola Salon fundraiser to recover from $25,000 burglary will happen June 19 at Salty's
On June 19 a fundraiser for Ola Salon, which was victimized in a $25,000 burglary recently, will be held at Salty's on Alki. An auction will be part of the event which runs from 6:30 to 9:30pm.
"All auction proceeds and a portion of all ticket sales will go to the salon. We need our West Seattle neighbors to know that we've got their back." says Nick Nordby, VP of Business Development for Salty's Restaurants, "We all need to look out for each other because you never know who might be next."
All proceeds from the auction and a large portion of the ticket sales will go towards the salon. Owners Gerry & Kathy Kingen said, "I couldn't believe it when I saw the news…they're just down the street from us. My heart just sunk."
Auction items will include everything from helicopter tours, to Salty's World famous brunch packages, to signed Seahawks jerseys. The event is open to the public. Glitzy, sparkly cocktail attire is encouraged, but not required.
While the salon does have insurance, any additional funds will be donated to Transitional Resources an organization that helps "adults living with the most serious and persistent forms of mental illness by providing respectful and optimistic recovery-oriented services, affordable housing, and advocacy against discrimination which works to break the cycle of incarceration, hospitalization and homelessness."
Owner Rachel Karlin said, "This is so amazing to see the community respond like this. I'm so grateful." She explained that the burglary was apparently very organized and that, "they must have had a good size rig because they took so much stuff." Karlin also said that because the thieves took expensive shears and product it has had a major impact on the business operations. The monies raised will in part help them get back in balance.
Visit www.Saltys.com for more information.
Ticket Price: $45

=>this guide is directed to highly active account(18-24hrs daily) with a moderate to high gold usage
it is mainly for speed server(3x) but you can use it on a normal server with some modifications
registeration:I usually prefer to go directly towards a new serverRomans have expensive and slow units, why would I want them? A good question..........
The good thing about Romans is that their units, while expensive, are the most powerful in the game. No other race can match the raw power of roman infantry, not even with cavalry. Praetorians and Imperians are the best specialists in the game, and legionnaires are among the best generalists.
At the start, training costs really hurt since at that moment these costs are the limiting factor for military size. Later in the game it is space efficiency that counts, meaning attack/defense power per unit of crop produced. And that is where Romans shine.
lets start out guide then
register and wait for activation
activation after 1-2 hours is usually the best
you go some far from highly offensive tauten waiting for the 00:00 to press activate
they are all crowded at the center fighting each other for farms and for croppers
Here we go
follow directly the task manager step by step
it would be beneficial of course to activate 5% bonus for all of your 4 resources
finish the tasks till farm or warrior
choose farm task: build granary,warehouse,marketplace as they are the main for your npc system
now just npc and build rally point and barracks or simply wait for resources
dont do any single item till BP ends(excepts training some legions of course)
before BP end with about 100 min be online
npc and build the maximum no. of legions
you would now have between 14-18 legions
==>Have some minutes before the end of the BP to look at your neighbors
what tribe??Their population??
my best farms early game are usually pop<35 and pop>52
pop between 35-49 are the worst
mostly they are actives, finished their tasks, got npcing system requirement and ready to start
BP off and you are on
find the nearest of your neighbors within your target pop
romans-teutons are usually better
not a problem to attack a Gaul with pop<30
good raid??
That is what we need
go directly to your barracks and be sure to make it function well
now just raid raid and queue orders within the barracks
Small hint:def. and off. ranks early game can give you some idea about your neighbors activity
high off rank have usually lost many troops
mild def ranks is the same
high defensive ranks usually have reinforcements
moderate off is usually a good player(bad for you though)
general tips:
-Dont try to defend or counter early game
-1hr 45min queue within your barracks=>barracks should be leveled up now
-Be sure to get a level 3 warehouse so that you always npc good troops
be sure that you have a good level cranny(6-10) and npc before an arriving attack so that the attacker always gets 0000
-always send a raiding party of 5-8 legions for your previously opened farm frequently(every 40 min)
-30 legion is good as a main attacking force to open new farms and dont forget to check their off and def ranks first
now you are doing well: raiding and opening new farms, upgrading your barracks when there is a jam there
after 6-9 hrs raiding you would have the following in an area of moderate farms
70-100 legions, barracks of level 6 at least, it is all depending upon your losses, farming rate
lets do something new
what is the EL Prerequisites ??
For research: Stable level 1, Academy level 5
stable Prerequisites ??
Prerequisites: Blacksmith level 3, Academy level 5,
so while raiding be sure that you have your barracks queued for 3 hours
now get a level 3 blacksmith,lvl5 academy,lvl1 stable
check your barracks>>working good??
get resources and search EL
some people might say I prefer to get EI directly
but I prefer getting scouts first as they are one of the requirements for clever raiding(checking your target farm is the other one)
now train just 10 EL
scout every non attacked player in your are(13*13 square)
have a general idea about them and starting farming your new targets
we are now 10 hours from the start of raiding
you have by now about:100-135 legion,10-20 EL,good barracks lvl,resource fields still as it is from the last task
lets have some simming now
upgrade your fields to 3,wheat fields to 4 at least
be sure to have you barracks always working and not to leave any farm 40 min without being attacked
not to say that you will have to get your rally point leveled far before from now due to max.attack no. limitations
now just go for EI
all Prerequisites are ok except for stable level 5
get it, research it and lets start or new age: age of roman domination
well it wont be that easy but it is the real start here
start now concentrating on your new EI
when getting 10 dont forget to get a hero
for his points distribution I prefer 1 for attack and 4 for attack bonus
you might want to give him all the 5 points for the attack bonus: thats up to you and it wont make a difference
your best farms from now on are Tetons of course
through raiding and continuous npcing you would get a good no. of EI
now try to use your legions against the big raiding tauten in your area to irritate them enough and make them attack you in a good raiding party(50-90 maces)
now it is time to dodge and counter
you can counter with your legions of course but with a non-satisfactory results
so lets counter with EI
just be sure that the attacking guy doesnt have some def at his village by sending a couple of EL to see
some people don't know how to counter
it is Pythagoras people in a triangle having an angle of 90 degree, the square(^2)of the angle opposite to the 90 degree is equal to the square of both other sides(x^2)+(y^2)
lets have a simple look:
what is the distance between my village and the village marked by (x)
well it is the root of (3^2)+(1^1)
that is nearly 3.16 field
3.16 field travelled by mace in:3.16 X 60/14(mace speed per square)=13:32
if his attack is arriving at 00:00
then his troops will be back home at 13:32(as easy as that )
Now what should I do??
1-dodge his attack
2-open an attack window against him, wait for the arrival time to be 13:32 and send the attack after 1 sec
>>>>>no time to get his troops away before the attack: done>>his troops dead>>hero points for you
continue countering this way with all Tetons in the area(21*21) until you dominate
well that will take some time but be sure that your barracks is always working
if the is accumulated orders(5hrs of more) just upgrade it
don't forget to get some wheat fields up, your granary and warehouse if you want less npcing
if raiding is good and you are doing well or if you are surrounded with guals that keep on producing phalanx you should go directly for imps
imps although they are highly priced as a unit they will help you too much
if you are doing ok and the account is really active, by the 3rd day raiding you will have about:
100-150 legions
90-160 imp
that is a good no for now(55-65 hrs good raiding)
crop fields almost between 6-7
if you cannot get these nos. that fast you can add some time according to your activity, gold usage, raiding you get, no of highly off time around you(should be eliminated)
it is time now to think about cp
go towards academy level 10>>town hall>>warehouse capacity>>>resources>>small party
now we have about 16 hr till the end of he party
always be sure your barracks, stable have a good orders queued before going into another stage
now it is time for level 10 residence,3 settlers
always be sure that your online so that your settlers wont die from any incoming attack if still there is some
before the party ends by 2-5 hours go directly to the academy (after getting armory built) and search the Praet
produce at least 50 to defend your main village and 25 for the new village and then go back and start building again imps
second village
for me I always prefer a 15c specially if there is 2 side by side or if there is a near one with 125 oasis or even 100 with 2 50% oasis
I cant be sure if you took a normal village that the 15c wont be taken, and if so it is a new way and a new story>>>get cata and start a small war with the stupid tauten who took it to take it back
if you are really dominating over your area just go to getting another normal village(5 iron is preferred)
make it defensive one and then think about another off one(better a 9c) and make your 15c your 5th village after you have well established villages with good farming and nearly no one in your 21*21 having a breath
your 2nd village should be opened by the end of day 3 or early day 4
when opening your new village try getting all resource tile at your first village to 7 and crop should be between 7-8 already
your offensive rank should be top 20 if really not top 10(1-2 first ranks usually)
well for here my guide is finished
This should be the normal start for any player and can be used by teuton,I will try to write part 2 in 3 days about what to do next,weither sim or else, when how and why.
hope you enjoyed it and you have found it really helpful
>>>I am really not in a mind to find about grammatical and spelling mistakes

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/8/2013 (1411 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Not much thought is given to a thimble other than it is a tool used for pushing needles through fabric, when sewing on a button or hemming a garment or quilt.
However, thimbles are much like a history book. They tell stories of presidents' slogans, British monarchs and many other moments in history — in fact, they've been with us as long as the Egyptian pyramids.
Mary Smith of Deloraine started collecting thimbles in 1978 after receiving a gift of two Chinese thimbles.
The collection has grown immensely, as has the value. The thimbles are made from many different materials, including gold, brass, sterling silver, ceramic, leather, wood, steel and porcelain.
One thimble has Herbert Hoover's presidential slogan, "Hoover, Home and Happiness," while another has a picture of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.
There are children's thimbles with nursery rhymes painted on them and others with magnets on the end to collect pins.
Giveaway thimbles were great advertising gimmicks. After the Second World War, plastic thimbles were all the rage, advertising companies such as Watkins and Coca Cola.
Smith has done lots of "horse trading," scouring antique shops and garage sales and even attending a thimble collector's convention in search of unique thimbles.
She will have her "Thimble Keepsakes" on display at the International Peace Garden during the Quilt, Button and Thimble Display on Saturday and Sunday, the same weekend as the International Country Gospel Festival.
This Sunday at 1 p.m., Smith will provide visitors with a presentation about her wonderful thimble collection.

My advise is that if you have to ask then Dont work for them . Not to be elitest but if you got to ask about who is out there you dont know enough to sign a contract that will overall be beneficial . There are liability's that have nothing to do with shooting anyone that one must pay attention to ( how are your earnings dealt with ) . Tho i have had a lot of friends work overseas in the oil patch as well as in security i never have because i dont understand the laws and i have seen more than one friend in trouble when they came home .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .

Dynacorp, Blackwater, really if you just google "defense contractor" several company websites should show up for you.
Do you only want to contractors doing security details, or including ones that help out with things like logistics and computers? Most of the companies also run domestic programs including the one who get paid to train the military about things.

There are hundreds of companies. If you narrow it down to what you are qualified to do, and which jobs and countries you are interested in, maybe someone here can narrow the list. I work in comms and just off the top of my head there is CACI, EDS, ITT and many others with jobs overseas.
Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.
"Contractors" are mostly KBR and the like who provide logistical support.
If you're talking about security contracting, you're not likely to find a good way into the higher end of that (providing PSDs in high threat areas) if you don't already know one.
Some companies do provide static guard services at many overseas US government locations. I know Dyncorp put out a call for some work in Doha (I think--may have been another city in the region) for about $49k a year or so the other week.
Edit: It was EODT, not Dyn. And ANY of these companies will generally require you to have several years of military/LEO experience or, possibly, an equivalent private security resume. This is for basic static guard work, not the sexy PSD stuff that the media love to focus on. Again, it's sort of a case of "if you have to ask..." There are military folks with proven skillsets and experience in-theater lining up for many these jobs--if you're not among them, you won't get through the door.
However, if you're a tradesman of some sort, there are contractors and other companies doing work all over the world, war zones and otherwise, who need people willing to live in wacky places/conditions for good pay.
It would probably help get you answers if you mentioned the kind of work you are looking for.

You might get a job with Wackenhut.
"liking shooting" is not a valid skillset.
Definately Wackenhut. Nuclear security is fun.

Probably the only home based FFL that doesn't do transfers.
As an alternative, you might want to try searching around USAJOBS - The Federal Government's Official Jobs Site , paying particular attention to the qualifications. You'll likely find something of interest, and in reviewing the qualifications, will have an idea toward which skill sets and resume builders to work toward.

If you've ever enjoyed deep fried brussels sprout leaves, you'll absolutely love this pizza recipe.
The flavors are simple here. Start with a base of pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then, top with individual Brussel sprout leaves, thin slices of salty prosciutto and a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. When the pizza comes out of the oven, the prosciutto will be crispy and the sprouts will be beautifully blackened. The nuttiness of the charred leaves is a perfect contrast to the salty richness of the pork and cheese. What's nice here as well is that the toppings don't need to be cooked in advance, so you can easily wHip this up whenever a craving strikes.
This Brussels Sprout and Prosciutto Pizza recipe has quickly become a favorite at my house. When we're throwing a pizza party for friends or family, guests always request that we make this pizza. Continue reading for the recipe.

I have a large head especially for a woman, so it's brilliant to find a hat that doesn't squeeze my skull! I tried a few straw ones but gave up in the end and got this one, and it fits a treat. The 61cm option fits my 58.5cm head very nicely.
The chin strap is unobtrusive and very convenient, especially for gardening or windy days on the beach. The fabric is fairly thick, but the vent holes do their job and if you size up it's quite airy. I'd wear it in late spring, all summer and early autumn.

There is a type of music that is best listened to in a van. It has to be something as large and unwieldy as the vehicle itself, something that echoes well in a smoke-filled cabin, something that is only improved by an airbrushed depiction of the Grim Reaper wrestling a tiger on a Yin Yang in space. Death's Procession, Saviours' fourth full-length, is just such an album, lumbering forward with strung-out brilliance and bleary-eyed might. Classic heavy-metal thunder, dedicated swagger, and almost-crisp production make this record a triumph for the Oakland quartet.
Opener "The Eye Obscene" is cool albeit predictable, its big bullsdozer riffs and moaned vocals reminding one of Matt Pike at his best. But second track "To The Grave Posessed" really sets the tone for the album, its strained and discordant opening guitar lead channeling the megalomaniacal murkiness of Autopsy and Celtic Frost. From there, each song barrels fist first through metal's old-school ether: "Fire of Old" and "Earthen Dagger"are Iommi-sized crushers, while "Gods End" begins with what easily could be a Judas Priest riff. The sweeping melodic vocals of closer "Walk To The Light" are the perfect send-off, leaving the listener surprised that the album even has an end--and hungry for more.
Some might say that Saviours are just part of the prog-thrash wave, that their obvious similarities to Mastodon and High on Fire make them another hipster band. The truth is that, on Death's Procession, Saviours utilize metallic influences that predate, and will easily outlive, current biases towards tight pants, PBR, and Williamsburg. There's no hype here—these guys rule. Haters should be advised to go take a ride in a van. CHRIS KROVATIN

A branding simplification is definitely something Dell needs: the company currently seems to use names like Adamo, XPS, Studio, and whatever else it feels like, almost interchangeably. The change is part of a larger marketing campaign. Dell wants to move away from being a low cost brand and instead portray the company as one that provides choice: cheap options as well as premium products.
Dell will spend "hundreds and hundreds of millions" on an advertising campaign for its consumer business, to coincide with the launch of new products. "We're going to stop mentioning price as the single important aspect," Paul-Henri Ferrand, chief marketing officer for Dell's global consumer, small, and medium business division, told Reuters.

Today, Minnesota's Mayors got together at the State Capitol to urge the legislature to adopt Gov. Mark Dayton budget which includes funding Local Government Aid properly. LGA was created in the 1970s to pay back local communities for their support of making Minnesota a great place to live. Local governments used this money to cover expenses for basic services.
Governor Dayton's budget proposal would add $80 million overall to LGA in 2014, and increase LGA funds incrementally each following year.
Over the last decade, Republicans have slashed it as a way to save money in state budgets. The effect has been an 85% increase in homeowners property taxes. The other effect has been local governments have cut back on police, fire and other essential services. Local school boards have year after year gone to the voters for bond levies not to pay for new buildings or new programs but for operating expenses.
"Governor Dayton has made it clear that one-time budget fixes balanced on the backs of taxpayers can no longer be tolerated," St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman said. "By stabilizing local government aid, Governor Dayton is not only taking crucial steps to stabilize property taxes, but sending a clear message that the State will responsibly deal with its budget challenges rather than asking cities to bear the burden alone."
"There is a vital connection between first ring suburbs and the core cities,"
Rochester Richfield Mayor Debbie Goettel said. "The collaboration between the two is important because suburban communities provide a lot of the workers who are employed in the core cities and yet we have very low tax base with aging infrastructure. LGA plays a vital role in allowing cities to redevelop and meet the demands of the 21st century."

Hey buddy, try using cookies in the frontend, the setting gets stored in the browser.
Maybe this will help: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie
Count me in
Sorry to hear that, maybe this will help: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-translate-custom-post-types-label
Hi, create a /languages/ folder inside your theme's root folder, copy the .MO files into it and use the following code:
load_theme_textdomain( 'brandspace', TEMPLATEPATH . '/languages' );
Hey, I haven't personally used theme translation in the admin area, only on the frontend but one thing that comes to mind is are you loading the language files in the admin area with something like:
load_theme_textdomain('mytextdomain', get_template_directory() . '/languages');
R.I.P. Steve, you'll be missed.
Sure, but let me first pack into a plugin and clean up some code.

i made 60% of a bbpress theme and i am about to trash it! reasons and questions : how do customers share their private wp and ftp credentials? over email? than why create a forum? just moving stuff?! AND in general a purchase code verification is what you/ use, but what if they ask support for two themes and they bought one? AND most of support requests are one or two question.. for us it's like 80% that and 20% ask more frequent questions… so why direct them to anyther website with another account and headakes… and i realized that i worked for nothing…
Using bbPress I addressed the issue of Buyers only having access to the specific forum of the theme they purchased, this wasn't easy but it's done, take a look: http://support.unispheredesign.com/forum-access-how-to/
Regarding the admin credentials and FTP access, I'm planning on adding a new field in the Buyer's admin panel, it should be fairly easy.
Parallelus said
unisphere saidInteresting. My customers are pestering me to add bbPress support to my theme but I kind of hate it. The stupid plugin applies a generic style to all password fields blindly. So if you have it installed and activated, no matter where you are any input filed of type "password" will have this extra nasty styling making it look different from your default inputs. That's super lame!!! I can only imagine the golden nuggets of code I'll find I venture deeper into the belly of the beast.
I'm using bbPress (the new plugin version) for about 2 weeks and I quite like it. Regarding the comments and emails, I still reply to comments on the ThemeForest commenting system because I think Buyers shouldn't have to register in all the support forums of the different authors they purchase items from. I do remind them of the support forum though. The emails I redirect to the forum.
I used a commercial bbPress theme and all the mods I did to the plugin were pretty much hooking into the various filters and actions provided by bbPress, and had no problems with it. To be honest I kinda liked it as it's very similar to WordPress itself in terms of plugin development for example.

Admiral Mike Mullen, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made clear to General Benjamin Mixon that his comments concerning gay soldiers were unprofessional and indicated lack of comprehension as to how an officer should conduct himself while in the military service. Mixon, who head Army forces for the Pacific command, urged those who serve under him to protest lifting the ban on gays serving and even told them to get family members to fight to end any changes in the "don't ask, don't tell" law. As Admiral Mullen put it to Mixon, if you don't approve changes in the law, then "vote with your feet" and get the hell out of the armed forces!
Those who serve in leadership positions within the American military should understand they are subject to civilian authority and they can not challenge the president of the United States.

What's next for Froch? Ever since Carl Froch beat Mikkel Kessler in their long awaited rematch back in May, boxing fans and pundits alike have been speculating on what would be the Brit's next step. Froch's preferred option would be a rematch with Andre Ward, but with the American still out of action due to injuries, Froch is looking to line up something in the meantime. Just this week the Nottingham fighter has been linked with two more names, with Eddie Hearn, Froch's promoter, having discussed the possibility of the Cobra facing domestic foe George Groves and middleweight king Gennady Golovkin. With an announcement set for some stage in the coming week we run through the possible candidates for Froch's next fight. Gennady Golovkin Credit: Will Hart - HBO Personally this would be my favorite fight to see, as it matches probably the most feared puncher in the sport in Golovkin, against one of the toughest in Froch. The Kazakh has stopped 24 of his 27 opponent...

Las Vegas Review-Journal Follows Union Leader In Whitewashing Romney's "47 Percent" Comments
Two days after the widespread publication of Mitt Romney's controversial declaration [1] that 47 percent of Americans are "dependent on government," the largest newspaper in Nevada, a swing state in the 2012 election the 2012, has thus far failed to cover the story. Additionally, on September 18, the "Swing States Project [2]" at the Columbia Journalism Review noted [3] that another important [4] swing state publication -- New Hampshire's Union Leader -- had also failed to cover the Romney comments.
A story published yesterday [3] by the Columbia Journalism Review pointed out that the New Hampshire Union Leader -- New Hampshire's largest newspaper by circulation according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations [4] -- had failed to cover Mitt Romney's comments that 47 percent of Americans will support Obama "no matter what" and that they are "dependent upon government."
While the Union Leader still has not published a news story on the topic, it did publish an editorial defending Romney's [5] comments explaining that it was obviously a "statement of campaign strategy, not policy." From the editorial:
Naturally, the media portray this as Romney not caring about half the country. Absurd. It was a statement of campaign strategy, not policy, and every single national political reporter knows that.
In contrast to the Union Leader's limited attention to the issue, the Review-Journal -- Nevada's largest newspaper [4] by circulation -- has not published anything on the subject at all, according to a Media Matters search of Nexis records and the Review-Journal website. In fact, despite not mentioning the comments once in its news or opinion sections, the Review-Journal has published [6] two unrelated stories [7] on Mitt Romney since Monday -- including a story discussing [7] a private fundraiser Romney was planning on having in Las Vegas this Friday.
While 41 swing state newspapers [8] made the Romney comments a front page story, the Review-Journal has mentioned it only once in an online-only blog post [9] by opinion columnist and former publisher [10], Sherman Frederick, who, unsurprisingly, defended Romney for his "admirable truth-telling." Unfortunately, it seems that similar to the Union Leader, over 200,000 print subscribers of the Review-Journal can't count on their hometown paper to report a story with national implications if it doesn't look good for its preferred candidate.
