GARDEN CITY, Kan. (KSNW) – Shona Banda is the Garden City woman who has been fighting marijuana and child endangerment charges for the past few years. She's a medical marijuana advocate who says using cannabis oil has changed her life.
"I didn't leave the couch," she said about life before cannabis oil. "I couldn't butter toast. I could not be a mom."
Shona Banda has struggled with her Crohn's disease diagnosis for the past 15 years. She says cannabis oil has given her a chance to fight.
"I'm feeling all right today. I'm still not up to my normal self."
Banda says her Crohn's Disease makes it nearly impossible to digest or swallow food, and the cannabis gives her an appetite and relaxes her gastrointestinal system.
"Within two weeks I'd need to be hospitalized," if she were to go without it, she said. "If I made it two weeks. Usually it's three days."
Her case gained national attention back in 2015 when her son spoke about medical marijuana at school, prompting a police search warrant of her home.
The child spent time in protective custody.
"I knew I was breaking an unjust law," she said. "As a citizen of this country, you have a duty to disobey an unjust law and make it right."
Banda is charged with multiple counts including manufacturing a controlled substance, distribution within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of paraphernalia, and endangering a child.
Still, Banda uses cannabis oil to treat herself.
"I would not be here today without it. I need it to survive."
She's had to stop using the drug when hospitalized for surgery. She once dropped to 103 pounds, and she was barely able to stand up during her last court appearance in November.
Now, she's turned her situation into advocacy for others.
"It's time to take our power back as a people and make them realize and understand that they absolutely work for us," she said about her fight with the state, "and when we can recognize that a law is unjust, it's time for them to change it."
Banda is due back in court next week to determine if she is competent to stand trial.
We reached out to the county attorney, who told us "Whether or not Ms. Banda feels the law is unjust doesn't change the fact that we believe…[she] should be punished according to the laws of the State of Kansas. The appropriate forum to change the law is the legislature, not a court of law. "
Medical marijuana is now allowed in some form in more than half the states.
In fact, it's on the books in 28 states and the District of Columbia.
Here in Kansas, former Kansas Attorney General Bob Stephan took a supportive stance in 2007. He said that medical marijuana should be legalized and that he came to this realization after battling cancer.
In 2016, the Kansas House passed a bill that allows residents to use low THC medical marijuana for medical use, but it didn't get the votes it needed in the Senate and didn't become law.

text: The PowerPAK® SC-70 package measures 2 mm by 2 mm with a low 0.8-mm profile. The Vishay Siliconix PowerPAK® SC-70 family includes a variety of configurations and voltage ratings for different applications, including single, single plus Schottky, and dual devices, in both n-channel and p-channel, in addition to n- and p-channel complementary pairs. The devices feature voltage ranges between 8 V and 30 V with extremely low on-resistance values down to 0.011 Ω at 4.5 V. As portable devices become smaller, and as functionality increases, their available board space becomes more limited. Designers are forced to find smaller solutions, while at the same time maintaining low power consumption to keep batteries running as long as possible between charges. To meet this need, the PowerPAK® SC-70 combines the tiny footprint of the SC-70 package with on-resistance comparable to the larger TSOP-6. The result is a solution with very low power consumption in a package that is 50% smaller than the TSOP-6 and 27% thinner. In addition to helping the environment by saving energy, the PowerPAK® SC-70 is 100% lead (Pb)-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant, meeting the demands of international legislation for elimination of hazardous substances.

We talk all the time. Mostly FaceTime and text due to our distance.
Like we actually talk all day every day for about 6 months now. Distance is really the only thing keeping us apart.
Whenever he goes out he usually sends me photos and tells me about it. Even messages me when he's going home almost like to let me know he'll be around.
Whenever I go out or have plans he seems odd. There's been a few times he hasn't but usually he is.
He will leave my messages unread! Either for hours or until the next day. Sometimes he seems cold.
He asked me if I was lookin forward to a Halloween party tonight. I told him a little because I'm sick. He just leaves my message unread.
I am assuming he doesn't want to see how I look tonight or anything. (And no, no "sexy" costume).
So I feel a bit bummed I can't share my night with him. Clearly he's not interested to see. Should I anyway? And why does he do this? Is it hard because he has feelings for me and wants to be there? Or thinks someone else will snag me? Honestly it's the only guesses I have.
Why does he disappear when I go out with friends?
We talk all the time. Mostly FaceTime and text due to our distance.

The band managed to speak to every one of the crowd, each in a different way.
Photo: Kristyn Potter
The Pageant, St. Louis
On a rainy Tuesday night in St. Louis, Metric brought in a mighty crowd. Front woman Emily Haines enlivened the crowd with her angelic voice, while her three-piece posse carried the rhythm on guitar, bass, and drums. From the very beginning, Haines captivated the audience with soothing and ethereal vocals that also exuded a don't-cross-me quality angels certainly don't come by. She is the hero of the free world—strong, feminine, and empowered—but also extremely beautiful and not afraid to have fun on stage with her bandmates.
Metric played oldies but goodies such as "Help I'm Alive" and "Gold Gun Girls," which the audience knew by heart, and attempted to do a little jig along with Haines as best as they could in the shoulder-to-shoulder pit. Recently released Synthetica also made its way into the show, with songs including "Youth Without Youth," and "Breathing Underwater," which were also crowd favorites.
While the crowd wasn't as hyped up as other shows that the Pageant has put on—such as Cage the Elephant in 2011, with stage dives and crowd surfing, or champagne-showering Steve Aoki earlier this year—the Metric audience was much more in tune with the vocals and the lyrics behind the songs, giving the packed venue a—dare I say it—intimate feel. The audience watched in awe as Haines pranced up and down the stage, returning to the synthesizer and dancing in place, then pausing briefly to mention her existential dilemma that found resolve at The Pageant, which brought a mighty roar of approval from the crowd.
Formed in the 1990s, Metric is one of those bands that has managed to make good music and put on solid shows with old-time fans as well as free-ticket-touting audience members. "Gimme Sympathy" from their 2009 album Fantasies closed the show, and the general silence of the audience was both ominous and inspiring, watching as the band managed to speak to every one of the crowd, each in a different way. | Kristyn Potter

I watched Pay It Forward
I watched Pay It Forward last night. The movie had it's good moments and overall, you won't feel like you've wasted two hours of your life sitting there watching it. I found the ending a little bit on the cheesy side, i think it could have been done better.

text: Egg color is based completely on the chicken laying the egg. If a chicken is white then it will lay white eggs. If a chicken is brownish in color then it will lay brown eggs. The easiest way to tell what color egg a chicken will lay is to look at the earlobes of the chicken, the color of the earlobe is what color the egg will be.

Adel Imam certainly knows his own worth in the entertainment business! The Egyptian King of Comedy set a few firm conditions for the TV channel that wants to air his upcoming TV series "Saheb Al Sa'adah" (His Excellency).
So before producer Tamer Morsi from "Synergy Productions" signed a contract with the funnyman to air his TV series on the local Egyptian TV channel in Ramadan, he had to agree to keep the entire show as it is.
That means no deletion of any scenes or language, even if it's deemed inappropriate by them!
But the network were happy bunnies and agreed to Imam's terms as they are.
MBC TV must have agreed to the actor's terms and conditions, as they'll be airing the series this Holy month as well!
The drama stars Imam, Lebleba, Khaled Zaki, Nihal Anbar, Ahmad Eid and is directed by Adel's son Rami Imam.

Crazy Little Someone to Love, 15 of 16 from KILLER QUEEN
Love is crazy. And kind of cute. And has a tendency to urinate all over the house if you don't take it for regular walks. A lonely old man doesn't know quite what he's in for when he lets Love in, but Love has a way of turning frowns (and furniture and trash bins) upside down.
Love is ruff in "Crazy Little Someone to Love," story by Mario Candelaria; art byMark Mullaney! Inspired by "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", this is the fifteenth story in KILLER QUEEN, A COMIC ANTHOLOGY. The digital file also features more Queen-inspired BONUS ART from artist Jason Folkes!
A tribute to the greatest band in Rock-n-Royalty, KILLER QUEEN features twenty-seven works from over forty artists and writers, challenged to rock out to their favorite Queen track and use it as inspiration for an original short comic or vignette. Edited by Enrica Jang

He Is Here
About a year ago, I was dealing with a really rough patch in my life, and I was starting to get down on myself. Finally realizing I couldn't handle the situation on my own, one day, I sat in my car and began to pray. What happened next was beautiful. I wrote about it in poem form. Enjoy!
I asked Him for help
Requested He make it all better
Steady Praying,
Hoping he heard me
I felt Him kiss my cheek
With the warmth of the sun
Rays cut through the dead of winter
To reassure me
He's got it
My faith is not in vain
He is here

If you're a Michigan native, you know that our awesome state is the best state to live in, hands down. If you're not a resident and you're looking for a new place to call home, here are a few of the many reasons why Michigan is the perfect choice!
First of all, most of Michigan has an incredibly affordable cost of living. Homes that cost thousands of dollars to rent in more expensive states are hundreds of dollars in the biggest Michigan cities. If you live in Michigan, you can afford to enjoy your close proximity to all four of the Great Lakes—buy a boat, go on frequent weekend trips. Michigan is your oyster.
The lakes, and all the other beautiful nature you can see in Michigan, are another reason to make the state your new home. Day trips to the beach, hiking in the forest, and picnics in the park are all just a few minutes away from any given place in the state.
Michigan also has a rich culture of sports and arts. Few states have football fans as passionate as the fans of the University of Michigan Wolverines and Michigan is home to the Detroit Electronic Music Festival and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Whether you want to live in a big city, a bustling college town, or somewhere more rural, Michigan has something for everyone.

The Kitchen Benefit Art Auction & Cocktail Party, NYC, November 2005
Each year, The Kitchen, a non-profit center for video, music, dance, performance, film and literature hosts a benefit art auction fundraiser and cocktail party. The goal was to design a unique and elegant space for the event, which was also highly functional. An 88-foot long curved wall served as a display for the 80 paintings, drawings, photos and sculptures in the main performance hall. Taking into account the limited budget, we chose to work with extremely inexpensive white peg-board, which is often found in retail stores and used to hang various types of merchandise on hooks. In their conventional use these thin boards lack structural quality, however, under tension the board becomes rigid. So the auction walls curvature was both a formal decision as well as an integral part of the structure.
Within seconds, the dense pattern of holes in the peg-board allowed us to make rapid changes to the configuration of the exhibited art pieces. As a result of this innovative approach, we did not have to worry about drilling additional holes, patching up walls, or painting again. The cost-efficient peg-board solution was so easy to set up and take apart that The Kitchen decided to store the elements to re-purpose them in different ways for years to come.
In addition to that large wall, I designed a suspended canopy, a welcome desk, curved guiding panels to direct guests to the main space and a bidding table, all in congruence with the peg-board wall design.
Materials: 4'x8' peg-board (5/32" thick), 2"x3" pine wood, 4'x8' chip board, screws, cable binders, rope, hooks

Investors Give David Jones a Slap on the Wrist
Investors didn't take the news well of David Jones CEO Mark McInnes leaving due to "unbecoming" behavior with a female staff member. Market Talk points out the shares fell 3.6%. But they bounced back to even territory by mid-afternoon. A long-time member of the management team, Paul Zahra, was picked as successor. Mr. Zahra's first press release sought to reassure investors and customers, reiterating the company's positive earnings guidance.
Citigroup agreed on the expected short-term share damage, pointing out that "the management team that has succeeded over the past seven years is in place."

Lakeside Fire District | Divisions & Programs
The Operations Division is comprised of three platoons of firefighters alternating 24-hour duty shifts to provide continual, 24-hour per day, year-round service. Operations Division personnel operate out of four fire stations staffing four paramedic engine companies, one rescue company, one brush engine, and two advanced life support paramedic ambulances. Lakeside firefighters respond to over 9000 incidents annually including fires, medical emergencies, traffic collisions, rescues, and a wide variety of other requests for service.
The fire chief and administrative staff operate out of the Lakeside fire administration office at 12216 Lakeside Ave. Administrative personnel are responsible for establishing policy, planning operations, controlling budget, managing expenditures, supplies, facilities, and personnel, evaluating operational effectiveness, and implementing improvements. The division continually focuses upon the department's effectiveness in managing the district's fire protection delivery system in order to minimize loss of life, property, personal injury and environmental damage from fire, accident, medical, and hazard related emergencies.
The Emergency Medical Services Division provides oversight and administration of the district's paramedic program ensuring the provision of the high-quality advance life support (ALS) services that district firefighters have been continuously providing since 1975. In addition to the four ALS (paramedic) first responder engine companies, the district also operates two Mobile Intensive Care Paramedic (MICP) transport ambulances.
The Training Division provides initial and ongoing training for all department operations personnel.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training program. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can make a difference.

The Lakeside Fire District Logistics Volunteer Group is an age-50-and-over volunteer program whose members assist firefighters and district staffers with those district functions specific to logistics. The Logistics Section's efforts are directed to supporting operations personnel (firefighters) with supply chain management, transportation of equipment and personnel, and many other logistics functions such as incident support.

The Safely Surrendered Baby Law allows parents to drop off their baby to any fire station or hospital emergency room without fear of prosecution.
No Questions Asked, Guaranteed Confidentiality,
7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
The purpose of the Safely Surrender Baby Law is to protect babies from being abandoned by their parents and potentially being hurt or killed. You have seen the televised tragic stories of babies left in dumpsters, alleys, public bathrooms and other places. The parents who committed these acts may have been under severe emotional distress. The mothers may have hidden their pregnancy, fearful of what would happen if their families found out. Because they were afraid and had nowhere to turn for help, they abandoned their infants. Abandoning the child is dangerous, illegal and tragically results in the baby's death. Because of the Safely Surrendered Baby Law, this tragedy doesn't ever have to happen in California again!

In the event of a fire, properly installed and maintained smoke alarms will provide an early warning alarm to your household. This alarm could save your own life and those of your loved ones by providing the chance to escape.
The Lakeside Fire Protection District is an active participant in the Senior Fire Safety & Smoke Alarm Program. The smoke alarms are provided to the fire district by the Burn Institute. LVG volunteers will install the smoke alarms. If you are in need of a smoke alarm, please contact our administrative office at 619-390-2350. And remember, "Smoke Alarms Save Lives."

Sorry I didn't post a 'college football picks against the spread' post last week. I never bet on the first week of college football. It's too risky and honestly, a lot of it is just dumb luck. You don't get a preseason to watch the teams and it's a crapshoot. I like going into a 'betting season' with more knowledge than just what comes in a media guide.
I've been making college football picks against the spread for the last five or six years. I've only been keeping a running total the last two years. I am 282-197-12 during that time.
I've been on a hot streak the last two years. Any year in which you have a 60%+ success rate on your bets. it is a successful year. I hope I helped you guys out.
We pick against the spread for all the big college football games on Saturday (September 12th, 2015), and pick some smaller conference games as well. Enjoy!
Oregon at Michigan State (-3.5) – My pick is Michigan State Spartans
Their matchup last year was one of the more entertaining games of the season. Oregon no longer has Marcus Mariota under center. I'm not quite sure if new Oregon starting quarterback Vernon Adams is up for the task. I like Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook more than most. I could see him playing on Sundays next year. Give me the Spartans to cover at home.
Kentucky at South Carolina (-7.5) – My pick is Kentucky Wildcats
Kentucky upset South Carolina last season. The Wildcats seem to have found their stride with Patrick Towles at quarterback. The Gamecocks defense is more than ready to do their job, but I'm not sure if their offense can put up the points to cover this spread. Give me the points in this contest.
Oklahoma at Tennessee (+1) – My pick is Oklahoma Sooners
Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson threw for over 400 yards against Tennessee last week. The Vols still beat them by nearly 30 points, but that is a huge red flag. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has an arm on him. The Sooners should be able to carve up Tennessee's secondary to win this game.
Iowa at Iowa State (+3.5) – My pick is Iowa Hawkeyes
You can usually throw the records out when these two teams get together. They each give their best effort in this game. Iowa State was a bad, bad team late last season. I don't see Iowa losing this one in Ames, Iowa.
Notre Dame at Virginia (+13) – My pick is Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Notre Dame was impressive last week against Texas. They lost starting running back Tarean Folston for the season, but the rest of the backfield dominated the Longhorns. The Irish offense is well-rounded and will have success this year. I expect the Irish to cover the spread on the road.
Houston at Louisville (-12.5) – My pick is Houston Cougars
Louisville had a tough game against Auburn last week. Their defense held their own, but still lost by a touchdown. Houston is known for their aerial attack and a 12.5 point spread seems a little high. Louisville may still win the game, but I'm taking the points.
Buffalo at Penn State (-21) – My pick is Buffalo Bulls
I once thought Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg was a future NFL quarterback. I am not sure what went wrong, but after the third or fourth game last season, he has been awful. Last week's game against Temple was another stinker from him. I don't see Penn State scoring 21 points, let alone covering a spread of that amount. I'm taking the points all day.
Bowling Green at Maryland (-10.5) – My pick is Maryland Terrapins
As I said earlier, Bowling Green had a great passing day against Tennessee last week. Unfortunately, they couldn't stop the run…at all. I expect Maryland running backs Brandon Ross, Ty Johnson and Wes Brown to all get their touches. I'm taking Maryland to cover.
Temple at Cincinnati (-7) – My pick is Cincinnati Bearcats
Temple beat Penn State last week in what many said was the upset of the week. I don't think Penn State is as good as people thought, so I wasn't too surprised. This point spread should probably be around 10, but people are now aware of Temple. I like Cincy quarterback Gunner Kiel. He was once a highly-touted prep quarterback and transferred from Notre Dame to be closer to home. I like the Bearcats in this one. Their offense is more explosive.
Louisiana Tech at Western Kentucky (+1) – My pick is Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
This is when we pick a smaller conference game. The bane of my existence is now the quarterback at Louisiana Tech, Jeff Driskel. He cost me a lot of money as the starting quarterback at Florida. I can't believe I'm picking a Driskel-quarterbacked team again, but they should win at WKU.
Utah State at Utah (-14) – My pick is Utah
Ball State at Texas A&M (-30.5) – My pick is Ball State
Florida International at Indiana (-8) – My pick is Indiana
South Alabama at Nebraska (-27) – My pick is Nebraska
Memphis at Kansas (+13) – My pick is Memphis
Arizona at Nevada (+11.5) – My pick is Nevada
East Carolina at Florida (-20.5) – My pick is Florida
Pittsburgh at Akron (+13) – My pick is Pittsburgh
San Diego State at California (-13.5) – My pick is California
Fresno State at Ole Miss (-29.5) – My pick is Ole Miss

Social Services Sourcing – approaches to the provider community
Approximately one fifth of government's external spend is spent in delivering social services to New Zealanders. Procurement provides tools and skills to commission and achieve better outcomes in the social sector.
New Zealand Government Procurement hosted a social sector focused breakfast event in October to discuss how agencies can determine the best approach to identify the right provider to deliver the required services. It is not a question of whether an open competitive process or another process is appropriate, you need to decide the 'best approach' to get the outcome you are after.
Step One: Determine whether you fall in scope of the opt-out in Rule 13.3(k) by considering the purpose of the Rule and the definitions of public services.
Just because you can opt out, doesn't mean you should.
Step Two: Determine the best approach to the provider community by considering:
- The best means of achieving the right outcomes
- The best means of adhering to the Principles
- What your agency's procurement policy states
- The features of the relevant provider community
- The potential impact for providers
- If there is a commercial market operating
- If you are looking for competition on price or service options
- If this is a new service or whether you are looking for innovation
- Whether you need to develop the provider community
- The risks of your proposed approach
In conclusion:
- You can't make this decision without researching your provider community
- It is about the best way to achieve the desired outcomes
- Document your rationale on how you will best engage with the provider community and how this approach will meet the outcome you are seeking
- Have the decision signed off in accordance with your agency's procurement policy

Last week The Boy took his SATs. For those who don't know what they are – SATs stands for Standard Assessment Tests.
SATs are taken in year 2, 6 and 9. They are not about passing or failing. The purpose of these tests is to see what level your child is working to in comparison to those born in the same month. They are controversial for this age group. However, this post isn't about how I feel about the tests but about how The Boy coped with them.
The tests were discussed at our last review meeting. The Boy doesn't cope well under pressure so we needed to know how they planned to meet his needs during this stressful time. I was more worried about how he would cope more than the tests themselves because as well as being autistic, he's one of the youngest in his year.
Although the SATs for The Boy's age group are informal with no strict time limit, the school understood that he would require longer than the other children – especially when it came to writing. Because he gets overwhelmed when faced with lots of questions at once, they broke his down into a small chunks then let him have a break. Also, as he is still using the palm grasp and as writing is a challenge, he was allowed a scribe. So with the knowledge that they had covered his problem areas, I could relax as much as an autism parent can ever relax.
My job was to keep him as calm as possible during the week with lots of cuddles and reassurance. I was extra careful of which battles I picked because I needed him to start the day as relaxed as possible. So if his Lego was left all over the floor, I left it there because the biggest and most important thing for him was to keep his anxiety at a minimum.
The tests are a big deal for most children but for an autistic child they can be incredibly overwhelming but the school couldn't have done anymore for him than they did and once again it proves that we chose the right school for our son.
The thing about The Boy is that he is academic. He excels in maths whereas I failed miserably to grasp the concept of basic multiplication, let alone mind boggling stuff like algebra or logarithms. I was (and still am) creative whereas he struggles to hold a pencil properly which makes writing and drawing an issue. He hates writing and the main reason is because it physically hurts him. Another reason is that his mind works a lot faster than he can physically write the words down, so he gets frustrated and ends up in tears or in meltdown. The school encourage him to write whenever possible but they understand that there will be times when it will be futile to push him and then they allow him to do his work on the computer. As they say, it's the work that is important more than whether it's written or typed.
The Boy has a photographic memory, as do I. This should stand him in good stead for exams but I wonder if, like me, it will be the case that the understanding isn't always there? For example, he was able to recite his entire 12 times table at the age of four. Not many children can do that but while some people thought they had a child genius on their hands, I had an inkling that it was simply down to his ability to recall information, especially about stuff that interests him. Having said that he is now showing that he can work things out as well. He loves maths (the weirdo) it calms him, whereas it had the opposite effect on me. I ABSOLUTELY HATED it!! Also, I was crap at it – which didn't help.
I know he'll do well in history because he's fascinated by it, just as I was. He's just done a topic on the ancient Egyptians at school and he really got into it so I bought him the Horrible Histories book – Awful Egyptians. Incidentally, he loves the Horrible Histories programme, especially the talking rat, Rattus Rattus. I like Stupid Deaths. It's funny because it's true. Woo!
The week ended with one final test and then the children were allowed to watch DVDs and play with a huge box of Lego that the teacher had brought in. Being a massive Lego fan, this pleased The Boy and kept him focused throughout the last test. Every child received a 'Star of the Day' award and The Boy received the Head Teachers Award for his effort during the week. His teacher also sent a note home to say how proud she was of him and how he had exceeded her expectations. My boy showed off his stickers with pride.
I'm enormously proud of him because it was a challenging week and he got through it, with support of course, but he got through it without any major problems. The interesting thing is that he is developing an understanding of his condition and he is getting good at recognising when he is becoming overwhelmed and what the consequences can be. For instance, Year 6 were being visited by some owls and The Boy LOVES owls so he and the rest of his class were told they could go and see the owls if they were good. My amazing son made the decision NOT to go outside at playtime because he knows that's where most of the 'bad stuff' happens so he didn't want to risk not seeing his beloved owls. Impressive eh?
Part of my job as his mum is to guide him towards an independent life and this week has given me more hope than ever that this can be possible. He's clever and just as his brothers are able to do what makes them happy, I want him to be able to do the same. There comes a day in every mothers life where she realises she's no longer needed. I've been through it twice and it's bittersweet, believe me. There is relief that you've done your job well and they're independent of you but your heart breaks for the same reason. They're your babies and they'll always be your babies and they'll always love you but they no longer need you – at least not in the practical sense.
More than anything in the world, I want to go through that again. I want to see him go out into the world and and live his life. Apart from teaching him how to do the practical stuff, I teach him how to understand himself and I do believe it's starting to pay off, bless him.
Thanks for reading.

I am ambivalent about it to the extent that paying bills, paying down debt, and buying groceries are good things, but I was so miserable working there that I would come home and cry some nights and every morning was a struggle to get out of bed.
I was laid off with about 65-70 other people so any embarrassment I might have felt is mitigated by the fact that I got laid off with many really excellent people who worked there much longer than me—four years, five years, seven years, twelve years—so there was not any chance that the broad ax was going to spare me. I mean, a couple of those people won iPads and trophies for being awesome employees last year, and this year, they're gone.
The company was struggling during the time I worked there. Our C-levels rushed in and out through swinging doors. The old guard had rested on their laurels and when they were finally fired off, the new guard chased their own tails for a year. I was the last writer hired and any writers and editors who left while I worked there weren't replaced.
In the end, I worked there for two years and thus expected the two-months' pay as part of my severance package. I had also made liberal use of my PTO, so I couldn't get too riled up when they told us that they wouldn't pay out our remaining vacation days, either. But for my colleagues who had measured their time with the company in eras, who hadn't taken PTO in order to prove their dedication to their work, the cost-efficient severance package added insult to injury. And after wrestling with the lack of direction and persistent disappointment in our newest projects, not a lot of people were sad to leave, but plenty were angry.
Obligatory Office Space clip:
It was definitely a wake up call for me. At work, we complained incessantly about the leadership, the management, and the known issues in our products. We felt like we had no agency and were never "allowed" to change things, but instead of leaving, we kept our heads down and our nose to the grindstone. If something was terrible, if customers complained, if a new product wasn't received well, it was management's fault and we were "just doing our jobs."
Basically, we were all smart enough to realize that the company was flailing, but we stayed on board—for the money, for the people, out of loyalty, or out of fear. And then we got laid off. In my existentialist way, I believe the responsibility for our current individual situations rests on our shoulders because we sat like smug Nostradami predicting the eventual downfall of a company built on outdated technology, faulty content, and poor management, but we still we sat. It's like seeing all the signs for the perfect storm, then standing there and watching it brew and waiting for it to touch down instead of getting yourself to safety. We shouldn't be offended that so many of us were let go in an effort to maintain and increase profitability when we knew things couldn't continue as they'd been going on.

I'm just gonna call it a learning experience and continue to march in my own way toward a future that doesn't require me to sell my time and skills for a paycheck and a dental plan (fingers crossed and here goes the cold water). I never want to have another corporate teat shoved down my throat so I'll be freelancing for grocery money and the retirement fund. I'm fortunate that my husband is able to pick up my slack while I get reoriented, but I can't help but think that being let go when I was finding it hard to leave because of the paycheck and because of the stability–was just a mercy kill, and I'm okay with a little cosmic tough love. I hope everyone else that was mismanaged out of a job moves on to better things in the near future.

Pictures and News About the Jamboree, Monday, July 22, 2013
Be Extraordinary
Is there a normal day at the 2013 Jamboree? From what I've seen from news, images, and heard from the Scoutmaster reports, I don't believe there is a normal day.
As all the participants consider what to do before the last day on Tuesday, every day must be extraordinary! Here are three examples of extraordinary at the 2013 Jamboree that caught my attention:
- "The Rocks" (with the "Leap of Faith)," the largest outdoor man-made climbing structure in the world;
- "The Park," a 10,000 square-foot skateboarding area, and the second-largest outdoor skate park in the world;
- "The Ropes," an elevated challenge course.
1. "The Rocks" and the "Leap of Faith"
I think the Leap of Faith is one of the coolest events I've ever seen. Using a self-belaying device, the participant leaps off a platform and descends while traveling along a short cable line.
Eldorado Climbing Walls built The Rocks climbing structure. Watch at about 56 seconds into the following video for the Leap of Faith:
The video from the Stadium Show also shows Scouts on the "Leap of Faith" soon into the video:
The world's largest climbing structure has:
- The "Leap of Faith," where participants leap into the air from a height of 32 feet and are safely lowered to the ground by the TRUBLUE Auto Belay;
- Two rappelling towers with a total of 36 rappelling stations at a height of 32 feet (6 stations are dedicated "leap of faith" stations);
- Three climbing fins with 68 manual belay stations at heights from 21-30 feet;
- Two climbing fins with 33 TRUBLUE Auto Belay stations at heights from 25-35 feet;
- One 25-foot high climbing fin with 8 climbing stations (6 manual, 2 auto-belay);
- Six freestanding boulders with over 50 stations and an average height of ten feet.
The Boulder Cove area incorporates over 280 linear feet of rock climbing walls ranging for 19' to 36' in height, including:
- 12 TRUBLUE Auto Belay backed up rappel stations;
- 72' linear foot rappel deck;
- 25 TRUBLUE Auto Belay backed up climbing stations;
- Three distinct boulders averaging 13' in height.
Extraordinary at the Jamboree, times 1.
2. "The Park," Skateboarding
Jamboree Today quotes the designer of the skate park: "The Park is the size of an aircraft carrier and is ranked No. 2 in the world for outdoor skate facilities," says Aaron Spohn, founder of Spohn Ranch Skateparks.
The manager of "The Park," Ed Wolf, was quoted in the Beckley, WV Register-Herald to say "We have 583 skateboards, 1,030 pads and 1,500 helmets…"
Watch some of the staff at the park on YouTube:
Extraordinary at the Jamboree, times 2.
3. "The Ropes" Challenge Course
In Jamboree Today, the challenge course at The Ropes is described as "Fifty feet above the ground, with a only a thin cable beneath his or her feet, balance ropes barely in reach, with just a safety harness to calm the nerves, each Scout's or Venturer's task is simple: Just make it across to the next platform."
Extraordinary at the Jamboree, times 3.

LOSING WEIGHT WITH ACUPUNCTUREks_wsid = 0;
You are an electrical being. Without electricity your body would die. The heart and brain are driven by electricity. Acupuncture balances the electrical forces and allows the body and all its organs to function properly.
Bioelectrical balancing of the body is an important first step in healing the body. This balance can be checked by pulse diagnosis or meridian balancing. If your body is out of electrical balance this must be corrected. Meridians are like rivers of energy that all connect throughout the body. There are 14 such rivers, 12 on the hands and 2 of them midline on the front and back of the body.
In order to balance the electricity within the body, two or more needles are placed on the hands, feet, or abdomen. Silver or gold pellets or silver rings may be worn to enhance this balance. Silver is like adding water to a fire, because it slows the energy flow. Gold, on the other hand, is like adding wood to the fire. Thus, making it more intense. An analogy might be made to a room that is too hot. You simply close the vent and the heat goes to the other rooms in the house. So too, if a river of energy is overactive, by placing silver on a select finger, one can slow the energy of that river (meridian). This results in more energy flowing to other rivers of the body.
When you are under stress, your body signals messages to different organs which triggers the need to eat. Sometimes your mouth wants to chew. Or your pancreas may lower your blood sugar until all you can think about is the ice cream in the refrigerator. Other times, your stomach growls loudly reminding you to eat, eat, eat. Oftentimes, your liver is not metabolizing the fats properly. All the junk food you ate, with its hydrogenated fats, become stored in as fatty layers of cellulite.
You were focused on a sensible diet, but after one week, you step on the scale to discover that your mouth, pancreas, stomach, and liver have thwarted your efforts to lose weight and you have actually gained two pounds. The liver, mouth, brain, pancreas, and stomach all overreact when they encounter stress. Therefore, these organs require sedation. Fortunately, the ear has sites that can send messages through the brain to these organs and thus prevent them from overreacting. Tiny needles are placed on select locations of the ear and stimulated manually or electrically. Messages travel to the corresponding organ which calms and sedate the organs.
Three of these organs, the stomach, pancreas, and liver, lie very close to each other on the ear. Due to their close proximity, a Chinese berry seed or silver tack needle can be placed over this area of the ear to provide continuous sedation to all of these points. Both the Chinese berry seed and the silver tack needle transmit energy to sedate these organs. Its as if a satellite dish antenna was placed on the ear and electromagnetic energy from car motors, computers, TVs, and florescent lights. Years ago staples were placed in the exact same area, but the staples frequently became buried in the skin and were difficult to remove.
Over 50% percent of Americans are overweight and trying to lose weight. Although Americans spend over 33 billion dollars annually on weight loss programs, the failure rate remains enormously high at 95 percent. Fortunately, medical acupuncture can help over 60 percent of these people.
You can't change your physical appearance without changing the emotional and mental habits that caused you to gain weight in the first place. These habits have resisted changes for a long time. Acupuncture will help you break these habits. Losing weight will make you healthier, more self-confident, more successful and even more socially accepted and your lifestyle will change. Acupuncture and the following techniques will enable you to successfully accomplish these goals.

20 years today...
20 years ago today to be exact - which is an astonishing thought. Where have those last 2 decades gone?!!
It was also the year of 'that' interview with Princess Diana, the whole Blur vs Oasis hoohar, Robbie left Take That, and when Eric Cantona decided to show a fan the sole of his boot by kicking him kung-fu style in the middle of a game.
In the last 20 years we've moved home 3 times, lost our beloved Nobby dog, moved in (and out) of the pub business, bought and sold a lovely old (ie, unreliable and nerve-wracking!) VW camper, gained Bella cat and Freddy dog, set up our own businesses - oh, and had a baby who is now about to turn 13!
Champagne for tea tonight I think!!

Cruises to Hawaii will also allow you to enjoy multiple land and sea sports and adventures available in each of these tropical islands. And, cruisers will enjoy all the comforts of luxury, leaving house keeping, meal planning, and transportation to the ship's staff. This is the kind of luxury which you can enjoy with a Hawaii cruise package.
Are you interested in taking a Hawaiian sightseeing vacation? If you are, you may want to visit Big Island. Big Island is Hawaii's largest island. What does that mean for you? It means that you often have more attractions to visit and more activities to participate in. That alone is what increases the popularity of Big Island trips.
Second home buyers are in a position to be choosy, to negotiate the purchase price, and to add contingencies to the contract. Essentially, right now buyers are in control.
Vacationing on the Hawaiian island of Maui is actually vacationing in two distinct biospheres. The western part of Maui contains a mountainous area including 5788-foot high Pu'u Kuku, deep canyons where rainbows seem to grow like wild vines, and the highly developed leeward beaches skirting the town of Lahaina.
This third image aroused an intense desire inside me - a passion, to fight back with renewed effort and get back to dry land. My focus was singular: I'm not going to drown in Hawaii. The image's intensity seemed to blast away the black cloak through some internal energy burst.
This is one region which has a very good Native Hawaiian Internet News network and environment news service for the aid of people. A large number of people who need to access internet for business or entertainment purpose can heave a sigh of relief. While vacationing in Hawaii, they won't be left cut off from the rest of the world and internet, courtesy internet news network, Hawaii.
Most of the visitors often visit Hawaii to organize their wedding in a secluded and new environment far from their home. If you are also planning your wedding in Hawaii, you need to choose short wedding dresses that are best suited for Hawaiian wedding. Nowadays, you can find an extensive collection wedding dresses in Hawaii that is specifically designed to meet the expectation of wedding couples. When choosing Hawaiian wedding dresses, make sure they are made of lightweight fabrics such as cotton.

The second meeting of the club for June was held in the Crown Inn, Laurencekirk, with President Lawrie Smith chairing the meeting.
The president introduced Mrs Helen Smith to talk on a visit to South Africa with the Charity Good Will and Growth in Africa also known as GAGA. Helen is a retired nurse and president of the Stonehaven Rotary Club, and with fellow members and volunteers travelled to an orphanage at Ithembalihle.
Their purpose was to erect a building during their two-week stay and this they succeeded in doing. A plot of land had been donated by the Government but there was no running water or electricity available in spite of the fact that pylons carried live cables crossed the site. All the water had to be carried in containers by the volunteers for the building work.
On completion – in time – the concrete block walls and roof trusses plus roofing had been constructed with no scaffolding, cement mixers or hoists. All done manually.
Slides were shown of the progress of the building and Helen informed her audience of the sanitation, food supply and funding to provide a home for the many orphans there – or waiting to come in. Most of their costs were met by the volunteers for the travel and accommodation at a hostel near the site.
Albert Smith proposed thanks to Helen on behalf of club members. The next meeting will be on Monday July 1, in the Crown Inn at 10am.
Speaker will be Kip Fraser from Montrose on his charity cycle trip from Land's End to John O' Groats last year.

There's steak or steak. Oh, and sides of salad, beans and toasted manioc flour washed down with zingy caipirinhas.
It's a candle-lit joint with a quiet air, save for the calm hum and slurp of hungry diners gobbling through slices of steak.
Efficient and friendly.
In the quiet streets of Lapa, it's easily noticeable.

Don't know how many tennis fans we have here on HP, but for those of you who are out there... what do you think?
He's the second youngest to do it, and the first since Laver to win French, Wimby, and US in a row. He's now on pace to beat Roger's record of 16 slams (that's assuming Roger won't win anymore, which i think he will).
You certainly have to give Nadal his props. He has been about as unbeatable as anyone has ever been when healthy over the last couple years. I do have to slight him a little in terms of the competition there is in this era of tennis. I've said the same thing in regard to Federer. It's really unfortunate for those guys because it is not their fault that Tennis has not been what it was in the 80's and 90's in terms of the depth of quality players. Personally, I have been amazed with Federer and how dominant he had been until Nadal took over the reigns of dominance in Tennis. Now Nadal is doing the same thing. Neither of these guys were beatable in their lower-mid 20's. I think Federer is now past his prime and I don't see him winning more than one, maybe two more majors, although I'd like to see him hold on to his record. As for Nadal, if he can stay physically healthy, I think he will break the record down the line. That is a big "IF" though.
My husband is mad into any sport. He admires this man so much.... it is unlike him to take to a person in the way he has with Nadal. He has been talking about him for a long time now. My husband loves the humility of the man, and cannot believe how good he is at his sport. I think he is handsome, er Nadal and my husband of course
Nadal is one of the most likable figures in all of sport, no doubt. Not surprised your husband admires him so much!
Nadal is that rare combination of great talent and great humility. I too admire that. Federer is the same. That's partly why I enjoy it so much when they face off against each other. A good guy is going to win either way! Of course, I'm still pulling for Nadal!
Let's hope we can see some more of their epic finals next year.
Absolutely agree - Nadal is one of a rare breed of sportsmen who displays great talent and humility. He is an excellent role model to any aspiring young sportsman.
To break the Federer record Nadal needs another 7 grand slam but it has not been easy.
Still Nadal has stuff to do.
It was a great win from Nadal. It is fascinating to see Nadal compete with Fedrer though this was not the case in this US Open Final. Hope these two keep playing tennis for many more years so that fans can get to see most fascinating display of raw talent on tennis courts around the world.
Nadal also just secured the number one ranking for the end of the year. Let's hope Fed can get it back; he was only a couple weeks away from beating Sampras's record for weeks at number 1.
Nadal is awesome. He has it all.
Just got to look after them knees and he could become the best ever.
Nadal is really a great tennis icon. He still long way to go to beat Roger Federer's Record (It will takes at least 2 to 3 years). If Nadal stay fit until he has lot more chances to beat Roger's record.
Roger still playing awesome tennis. There is no doubt in that. It's a matter of getting the winning momentum. Definitely he has lot more chance to win few more.
by Jinesh076 years ago
With Federer leading the pack in terms of Grand Slams, many are stating that he is the greatest player of all time. However, are the efforts of Borg, McEnroe and others greater even though they did not win as many slams?
by vanchen6 years ago
Grand Slam tennis season again. So far all of the mens seeds have won, excluding the 16th seed Mardy Fish. Favorites are, as always, Federer and Nadal. Thoughts on the tournament?
by MickiS5 years ago
Anyone want to venture a guess at predicting the results for this year's French Open? It's about 6 weeks away and the clay court season is well under way. I think this is the year that Nadal loses in the final. It just...

So, who will win the French Open Tennis Tournament this year?Can anyone beat Nadal?
by derek gulbranson5 years ago
Just wondering what you guys think. My friend said that it was Federer, but I thought that Lever or Graf was better.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Hi there, just like to say great work.
Will you be adding support for output parameters?
Output parameters are something that I need to look into, but as I don't use OUTPUT parameters it has not made my list yet.
But I will add a TODO for OUTPUT params.
Thank you for the input.
So I got around to adding support for out parameters for SQL Server, OLEDB, and Sybase. Here is what the code looks like:
var cmd = new FluentCommand("WithOutParams")
.Add("out1", 9).SetDirection(ParameterDirection.InputOutput)
.Add("out2", 9).SetDirection(ParameterDirection.InputOutput);
Assert.AreEqual(1, cmd.GetParamValue("out1"));
Assert.AreEqual(2, cmd.GetParamValue("out2"));
That code is calling a stored procedure call WithOutParams with two parameters. The first parameter should pass back 1, the second should pass back 2.
The code is in the form of a unit test -- because I copied it straight out of one of my unit tests.

Ahh, Zenwalk=Minislack, get used to it!
Also, I now suggest Puppy Linux, you can actually install it to ANY Windows Partition with out partitioning, or the usual way. Puppy, is actually a LiveCD that if you have 128mb of ram or more, can load the entire lot into ram! It is easily installable to almost any media, uses FVWM 95 by default (but you can use JWM or download IceWM), and has an intresting package system called dotPup, very simple, intergrates with Rox very well. Once you get IceWM in there with the package you can find on the website, get busy making your new Linux OS, your own!
Oh, there is even a Fluxbox package if anyone uses that anymore . This is right for you as this is not only the perfect newbie distro, it's easy to install, and it's great!
Or, you could just use Lycoris if you are in the mood for something more...traditional. That one is KDE based, but I don't use it. At least it has a solitare game in the installer, if that's good in any way.

Enlightnement Thinkers Essay, Research Paper
Enlightenment philosophers have had a profound impact on the progress of society, they quite simply have provided the structure for government today. European thinkers such as John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau are some of the European political thinkers who have changed the course of history.
John Locke was a 1600s English thinker that brought forth ideas which became the key to the Enlightenment. He believed that people have a natural right to life, liberty, and property. These rights belonged to all humans from the time of birth. Locke argued that rulers have a responsibility to protect it's subjects, but if the government fails in doing so the people have the right to overthrow the ruling party. The United States Declaration of Independence and the French revolutionaries were both influenced by Locke's ideas. His thoughts have been extended to include equality for women and minorities. Locke's views on humanity is what cleared the way for other Enlightenment thinkers to follow.
Montesquieu studied the governments of Europe, China, and Native America. He felt that the powers of government should be separated into executive, legislative, and judicial branches. He became aware of this structure from the British, who at the time had a limited monarchy. By dividing the powers the possibility of one group gaining to much power is eliminated. Montesquieu said, "In order to have liberty, it is necessary that government be set up so that one man need not be afraid of another". His idea of separating the powers in government is part of the framework of the United States Constitution, which even today is being used. Montesquieu's ideas helped structure the government of many countries around the world.
Rousseau, was considered one of the most controversial philosophes. He believed that people are basically good but it is society that corrupts them. In an ideal society, Rousseau believed, people would make the laws and would obey them willingly. He felt that the 'general will' was all that mattered, those who did not agree with the majority were forced to conform. Today Rousseau is hailed as a champion of democracy for his idea that political authority lies with the people. On the other hand dictators have also used his ideas about the 'general will' to justify their causes. Rousseau has influenced political and social change for over two-hundred-years, and his ideas should encourage revolution for centuries.
Political philosophers had a tremendous impact throughout the world, their ideas helped shape the governments we now see today. European political thinkers such as Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau have changed society in the past and will most likely continue to do so in the future.

In a well-written opinion, the Supreme Court ruled this week that a final TTAB decision on likelihood of confusion regarding a particular mark can be binding in separate trademark infringement litigation. The Court reversed a contrary decision of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The issue in B&B Hardware, Inc. v. Hargis Industries, Inc., No. 13-352, March 24, 2015, (for earlier blog click here) addressed whether a final TTAB decision, in this instance involving likelihood of confusion of a challenged mark, could bind the relevant parties in infringement litigation. This issue involves the legal concept of collateral estoppel or issue preclusion. The general rule is that "[w]hen an issue of fact or law is actually litigated and determined by a valid and final judgment, and the determination is essential to the judgment, the determination is conclusive in a subsequent action between the parties, whether on the same or a different claim." Collateral estoppel is a doctrine typically applied to proceedings in separate courts. Here, the TTAB decision arose out of an administrative proceeding, not a court proceeding.
Rejecting a number of arguments which the respondent presented, the Court first relied upon a line of Supreme Court authority applying collateral estoppel effect to various administrative agencies and decisions. The Court also rejected the assertion that the Lanham Act itself implicitly precluded application of collateral estoppel to TTAB decisions. Lastly, respondent argued that the standard for evaluating likelihood of confusion before the TTAB was different than before a district court. As a general matter, the Court did not see a significant difference in the standards. To the extent there truly was a substantively different analysis, the relevant party could argue that collateral estoppel should not apply because the district court was determining facts or applying a legal analysis different than that of the TTAB.
What this decision presages is a likely increase in the number of court reviews of TTAB decisions. Separate from infringement actions, a district court may review TTAB decisions de novo. Alternatively, parties may appeal TTAB decisions directly to the court of appeals. Now knowing that TTAB decisions that are not reviewed, either in the district court or at the appeals level, can have collateral estoppel effect in infringement actions, parties need to seriously consider whether to accept the TTAB decision as final or seek court review.

I paint people and things about which there are often misconceptions but for which I feel a great deal of empathy. I'm drawn to things which have aged or been altered in some way. Most of my work is figurative, drawing from experiences I've had and people I've met in my search for interesting characters on the street and in bars. These tend to be strangers; brief encounters which usually pass by unmarked. I try to recount an ephemeral moment using a process which, by contrast, takes weeks concentrating on textures, patterns and fine details. I have been focusing on peripheral characters, quiet observers, people with whom I find some degree of understanding although this is unexpressed. Although I'm naturally drawn to faces, I reference details of derelict buildings, posters, graffiti and images of nature I have found or photographed. My work is fairly realistic but I want it to be painterly. I don't want to make vacuous copies of photographs but to try to recount a moment of empathy between strangers. I want to show vulnerability and to suggest an intimate psychological interaction rather than an honorific or simplistic view of those I have met. I'm interested in the idea that beauty and squalor are seen as being mutually exclusive until their objects are presented in a different context.
