PX on imagesEdit
Please note that on unnamed person pages, the "150px" size is required on images according to our style guide. Having said that, the size of an image should be left off of other images. :) -- sulfur 21:19, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Memory Alpha style & recent edits Edit
Hey. Please read the help contents carefully before you add more. As you can see almost every edit you've made was corrected or reverted. This happened to keep a style throughout all the pages, in this case all the "Unnamed...." pages onto which you've added many information what is really appreciated. The last edit, the "Unnamed individuals" page was deleted. You've tried to create this page Unnamed Platonians. If you have any questions feel free to ask. – Tom 22:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Junior's Mother Edit
Hi, you might want to finish the job. --TribbleFurSuit 22:34, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Some Friendly Tips Edit
Please try to make sure that any articles you create aren't orphans; they should be linked to from somewhere so that others can find and read them. I don't think you want to put the work into the articles and have no one read them. :)
Also, try to use full names, at least initially, when mentioning someone in an article. This keeps MA somewhat encyclopedic.
Thanks for your nice contributions! --31dot 02:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- In addition, please review Memory Alpha: Naming conventions; you've been here long enough to know there... --Alan 04:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
I would again ask you to follow the above advice; You have put in some good work, but no one will read it if the articles are not linked to. You should also start to learn how articles are named.--31dot 20:11, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
I apologize for not being entirely clear. I have already placed a link in the article. I removed yours only because you wrote it as if Frakes was credited for playing the hologram, which he was not(and he is already in the credits anyway) Such a link would have been correct if the person was credited.
I usually place links to articles I create in the references section of the relevant episodes, at least to start. Over time I will also look for other articles where such a link is appropriate(others will do this as well).
BTW, it is helpful to respond to a comment wherever the comment was posted, to keep conversations in one place. :) --31dot 20:44, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Reverted edit Edit
I just want to give you an explanation why I've reverted your edit on the page Unnamed Deep Space 9 residents. Your edit here is undone because this woman already has her section on the page here. Please check the images before you'll add the same person twice. Thanks. – Tom 13:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Style again Edit
Again, please use the style of Memory Alpha when you do changes or additions to pages and articles. I've cleaned up the "Unnamed Bajorans" page after your last edits. See this page for further information. Thanks. – Tom 20:55, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
- Hit save by mistake wanted to hit preview to make corrections. User:Shamutto 21:05, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
Edit Summaries Edit
Please don't put edit summaries in all caps. It's generally considered bad internet decorum to do that. --OuroborosCobra talk 03:10, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
Galleries and imagesEdit
Please use the "File:" tag for images now (whether in galleries or otherwise) on MA. The "Image:" tag is deprecated and is no longer to be used. Thanks. -- sulfur 15:53, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
Davis Edit
You may want to make sure an article does not already exist before you create it, as was the case with Bobby Davis. I merged your contribution with it.--31dot 16:30, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
Editing Edit
Once again, please be aware of MA's style and formatting conventions. It becomes a chore for one of us to have to come along behind you and do major clean-ups of your edits. The proper link for the EMH from Voyager is The Doctor, not the Doctor. The proper link for Barclay is Reginald Barclay, not simply [[Barclay]]. The proper link for the starship on Voyager is {{USS|Voyager}}, rendered as USS Voyager, and not simply [[Voyager]]. All links to episodes should be via the appropriate episode link template ({{VOY}} for Voyager, for example), or via the {{epLink}} or {{e}} templates, not directly to the name of the episode. Double-check your spelling, or use a spell-checker. Pay attention to your spacing. Use correct punctuation, grammar, and tense. Don't create sentence fragments. Use proper formatting in article titles, for example, Kathryn Janeway (hologram), not Kathryn Janeway (Hologram). And so on...
Please heed this, or risk being blocked for a period. None of us want to have to constantly clean up after you. If you aren't able to do this, please refrain from editing. Although we value everyone's contributions, we do have certain standards we all adhere to. Thanks. -- Renegade54 18:20, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Please check out my last edit to make sure it is correct. I certainly do not wish to be blocked, since I have under various ip numbers and names done over 3,000 edits. Thank you.
Shamutto 14:40, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
Holograms Edit
Your most recent article additions, such as, B'Elanna Torres (hologram), Chakotay (hologram), and Kathryn Janeway (biomimetic lifeform) are all orphans. Please link to them from an article like Holograms. — Morder (talk) 21:59, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Do you mean put the holograms under references in the episode they appear.
Don't understand Kathryn Janeway (biomimetic lifeform) orphan, its in Silver Blood along with the other Biomimetic forms. Thanks.Shamutto 17:04, January 9, 2010 (UTC) What I mean is that your articles are orphans and need to be linked to from another article. The items I listed above are an example. No, you shouldn't link the biomimetic lifeform on the Holograms page but rather an example of an action you should take with some of your articles. You should find an appropriate article for the biomimetic lifeform article to link to. — Morder (talk) 22:08, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
- All orphan articles linked to another article.Shamutto 12:32, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
Holograms again Edit
Hi. Are you aware of the fact that all "hologram" articles you're currently creating get edited to add a message about the possible merging of these articles into one? It would be nice if you stopped creating more of those articles for the moment, and joined the discussion here. Thanks. -- Cid Highwind 21:18, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok. I will join the discussion, because holograms are not the same as who they represent, since one is real and the other is not, therefore a separate article for holograms in my mind are correct. I will not do any other holograms..Shamutto 16:27, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
Revert again Edit
Alright. Again I have to ask you if you ever check the information you'll bring up? On this image you can see three Ferengi, Rul the Obscure and two associates of him, a beaked alien, Kolos, and Vash. Now, please tell me which alien is not yet listed on MA? I'll revert your recent edit again. – Tom 14:48, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
Alien BidderEdit
Your right, my mistake, thank you for your patience. I also have a question. My edit of a female ridged alien was removed by Golden Monkey. He said that the alien maybe a Kobliad. I believe that even though she might be that until it is determined, she should be put back into unnamed humanoids, and than moved to Kobliad if determined she is.–Shamutto 11:56, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
Just so you know, my edit here was to remove links to some of the pages that have been merged along with some general formatting. - Archduk3 15:50, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
Gallery pxEdit
I am unable to print any pictures that are under gallery and the px look enlarged. If I log out the px under gallery look normal and can be printed. Some help please.Shamutto 13:33, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
re:Print Edit
Prior to yesterday when I printed an article from memory Alpha, the name of the article would print in black. For instance, the article John Christopher, the words of the article is in black, but the heading John Christopher prints in a light brownish yellow. Is this a problem on my end? Shamutto 15:00, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
Cid: You asked me to reply if the fix worked and resolved the print problem. The print of the article title is still light gold. Thanks for your efforts. I have no idea what to do. Shamutto 9:15, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Please try again now. I've changed the location of the fix, so that it should now apply to both currently available skins. -- Cid Highwind 14:07, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
- It works fine now. Thank you so much.
Shamutto 15:27, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
Actor notes Edit
Hey, Shamutto. Just a heads up - when adding character sidebars to articles, please do not remove notes stating "X was played by Y". Per the Manual of Style, "Any information contained in the sidebar is not considered a replacement for that same information appearing in the body of the text. As such, please ensure that all information found in a sidebar is also contained in the main article." Thanks :-) – Cleanse ( talk | contribs ) 03:56, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
Again Edit
Please check the articles before you'll add individuals who already have a section. In this case at the "Unnamed Bajoran Militia personnel" page. You've added deputies 21 and 22 who are "Mic Rodgers" and "Michael Zurich" who have their entries "here" and "here". Their listings are already mentioning the events of the episode "Captive Pursuit". – Tom 23:22, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
FA Nominations Edit
Hi there. I noticed you have made contributions to several articles here on Memory Alpha. Perhaps you would consider voting for one (or more) of our featured article nominees in the nomination process? If you support the article as one of Memory Alpha's best works, simply put Support along with your reasoning. If you object to the article becoming featured, just put Oppose along with your reasoning. Featured articles help us to showcase the Memory Alpha community's ability and it's only through the participation of users such as yourself that we can get these articles featured. Thanks for your time. Live long and prosper! -- | TrekFan Open a channel 00:13, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
Articletype Edit
The {{article type}} template should always be at the top of the article, in case the javascript doesn't load right, so sidebars should be placed under it. - Archduk3 23:46, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
"Inter Arma..." FA Nomination Edit
Hello Shamutto, I was hoping you might be able to spare a few minutes to read through "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" and perhaps consider voting for it as an FA? Regardless, any comments you may have on the article would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :) --| TrekFan Open a channel 22:01, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thanks for your nice comments! :) --| TrekFan Open a channel 00:52, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Settled in Mom and Dads driveway in Ct.
I have been to busy here to put together the blog posts about our Awesome experience birding The Biggest Week in American Birding.

A trip to the spa with Girls..Waldo had his toes done
The planters I bought last year fell apart in a few months and I returned them.

A family picnic…Aunties, Uncles, Cousins and Families.
We had a nice sunset dinner at MGM Casinos, 28th floor lounge.

So..that's what Waldo, Jeff and I have been up too…
What have you been doing?

B's dad asked that I pass along his thanks for your vote for Round 2 of Project Food Blog. Round 3 requires contestants to host a luxury dinner party. As you will soon see, the definition of luxury was left open to interpretation. You can vote for me by clicking "Vote For This Entry" on this page
"I'll keep my guns, freedom, and money. You can keep your hope and change." The hubster and I looked at the bumper sticker on the red Ford pickup in front of us and then the backseat of our car, stuffed to the brim with our fragile glass items, precariously stacked boxes, and a large SpongeBob SquarePants pillow that I just couldn't bear to ship. We were moving to Texas and this bumper sticker was a clear indication we had arrived.
See, the hubster and I are big city kids. Not just big city kids but rather, West Coast big city kids. We grew up in neighborhoods where no two families were from the same country, celebrating holidays like Chinese New Year and Diwali were just as common as celebrating Christmas, and most importantly, great sushi was available year-round. The prospect of moving to Texas, to live a life of guns, cattle, and country fried steak, was just plain daunting. Because when you're from California, you just know everyone in Texas has a gun, a cow, and a deep-rooted love of country fried steak.
But between the guns, cattle, and steak, there's something the stereotypes forgot to mention. The people. Over the last two years, we've been blessed to make friends that sometimes take an entire lifetime to find. We found friends who invited us to our first mudbug fest where notoriously squeamish yours truly sucked the juice from a crawfish's head, friends who shared their faith and took us to church with them on Easter Sunday, friends who picked us up from the airport at 5 a.m., friends who took us to our first rodeo, and friends who got us Texas-in-a-Bag when they found out we were moving. But most importantly, we found friends who introduced us to Tex-Mex. Not just Tex-Mex but great Tex-Mex. Enchiladas con carne, chili con queso, and brisket. Glorious brisket, perfectly spiced and tender as can be, piled on tacos, nachos, and enchiladas.
So it seemed only fitting that my luxury dinner party be a tribute to all things Tex-Mex. And in the middle of all the dinner party planning, when I found out we had to move back across the country the day after our party, I just kept on truckin', Texas style. For the last week, while I've been frantically packing and preparing for the party, the slogan "Don't Mess with Texas" has actually been "Don't mess with Tex-Mex." It didn't matter that our house was littered with boxes, all our pots and pans had been packed, and oh, we had to eat off of paper plates. Luxury is what you make it, and when you've been packing frantically and eating cereal for the last three days, luxury is eating Tex-Mex (off of paper plates) in the company of dear friends.
We started with a chicken tortilla soup with a roasted tomato relish and avocado crema. Warm and comforting with crispy bits of corn tortilla and a cooling swirl of avocado, served in between stories of the time M forgot her heels and had to wear her flip flops to court and the time B had to leave her gym bag as collateral because she forgot to bring cash to pay the parking attendant. We moved on to stacked brisket enchiladas with roasted poblanos and cotija cheese, served alongside cilantro-lime rice and creamy black beans, and laughed about the time I thought the local taco place, Taqueria Arandas, specialized in spider tacos (What? Arañas are spiders but Arandas is someone's last name. Anyone could get those two confused, especially because tongue or lengua tacos are rather common, so spider tacos are not that much of a stretch). All through the reminiscing, M's husband patiently cared for their baby (my youngest dinner guest ever!), henceforth dubbed "the cutest baby ever."
And over a dessert of sopapillas, glistening with cinnamon sugar and dripping with honey, we talked about how the three of us came to Texas, looking for different things, and along the way, built a friendship that feels much older and deeper than two years. A mother, a runner, and a storyteller shared their dreams, their frustrations, and most importantly, a love of Tex-Mex. We stood side-by-side to welcome babies, mourn the loss of loved ones, and share our lives over countless dinner parties. And so, we gathered for one last dinner party in Texas.
As we drive back to California tomorrow, the hubster and I aren't sad. We are taking our Texas-in-a-Bag, some fabulous memories, a top secret brisket recipe, and a sticker proudly declaring, "Don't Mess With Texas."

- how "school choice" is being used to further dangerous reform goals, and how home schooling and private education are especially vulnerable.
- how workforce training (school-to-work) is an essential part of an overall plan for a global economy, and how this plan will shortcircuit your child's future career plans and opportunities.
- how the international, national, regional, state and local agendas for education reform are all interconnected and have been for decades.

"Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children."

|Fred and Julie Belair, 1926.
This is one of those pictures in my family photo albums that I get sentimental whenever I see it. It is a beautiful studio portrait of my paternal grandparents Fred and Julie (Vanasse) Belair, taken on their wedding day on 28 October 1926 – 86 years ago today.
I don't know anything about their courtship, other than they met through Fred's half-sister Almina (Belair) Lapierre, who was a good friend of Julie's. (Almina and Julie worked as domestics in private homes in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in the 1920s.)
My grandfather and grandmother were almost 37 years old and 30 years old, respectively, when they married. Their wedding took place at St-Jean-Baptiste RC church in Ottawa. I don't even know if they had a honeymoon.
The original photograph was set in a lightweight easel-style cardboard picture frame that measures 22 cm x 15 cm (approximately 8 1/2" x 6").
Fred appears to be sitting on a stool or low bench, while Julie looks comfortable in a fabric-lined wicker chair. They look relaxed and confident. They are well-dressed: Fred is sporting a three-piece suit and Julie is fashionable in a drop-waist, long-sleeved dress. A pearl ring can be seen on Julie's left hand. Fred has wavy red hair, but the colour does not show up in the photo. Julie, who had dark hair, wears typical 1920s bobbed hair and round eyeglasses. A painted background adds atmosphere to the portrait.
My grandparents were married for 40 years. Julie died in March 1967; Fred passed away in January 1991. I miss you, Mémère and Pépère.

What's This?
Published: April 2015
You may have bought your condo because you liked the idea of low-maintenance living. But having to take care of water damage likely never played into that fantasy.
It can happen, though. And it can turn into a big headache if you're not prepared.
Get the protection you need and the peace of mind you deserve with Allstate insurance.
If you have condo insurance, however, you'll find that you're generally protected against water damage that is caused by your plumbing, your water heater or appliances, or from your heating or air conditioning systems.
The cause must be accidental, however, and not the result of wear and tear. For example, if your water heater is past its prime and it cracks and leaks water all over your floors, your condo policy likely won't cover the cost of buying a new one (keeping appliances in good working order and replacing them is considered basic maintenance when you own a place). You may find, though, that your insurance will likely cover the damage done to the floors. Check with your agent to learn about any limits or exclusions in your policy.
Either way, it's important to know that there are some types of water damage that normally aren't covered.
Take sewer or drain back-ups. If you're looking for safeguards from these risks within your unit, you may have to tack on an additional "water back-up" coverage because it's not always part of a basic condo policy, says the Insurance Information Institute (III). Your agent can tell you whether this type of coverage is available in your state.
Floods are another example. Because condo insurance typically doesn't cover flood damage (homeowners insurance doesn't either, by the way), you'll need a separate policy for protection against flood waters.
Of course, you're not just limited to these risks. Because you live in a community-type dwelling, you're susceptible to other sources of water damage. Like your neighbors. For instance, what if a pipe bursts in the upstairs unit and it leaks down into your own - what then?
Most likely, each of your insurance policies will come into play, with your insurer helping to cover damage to your property and your neighbor's insurer paying for theirs. However, if it can be proven that there was some sort of neglect that caused the damage, your insurance company might ask your neighbor's insurance company for reimbursement.
In some instances, the water may come from the condo building — from its roof or one of the common areas you share with your neighbors. In that case, your association's master insurance policy is likely designed to provide coverage. Of course, it all depends on exactly how the association's master policy is written. And the protection may or may not extend to the inside of your unit, says the III.
The only way to really know what's covered is to ask for and review a copy of your condo association's master insurance policy and any condominium documents such as your association's declarations and bylaws (ideally before a problem occurs, so you can adjust your own coverage to fill in any gaps).
So, while condo living may not be as carefree as you once thought, you can do a little planning to protect yourself against the risks and still enjoy the lifestyle you were originally hoping to achieve.

All students in the Los Angeles Unified School District will receive free iPads by 2014, CITEworld.com reported Friday.
As part of a June agreement with Apple, 31,000 iPads will be distributed this school year and will be paid for with $30 million in tax money. All 640,000 K-12 students in the country's largest school district will have the device for use in the classroom by 2014.
"Education is in Apple's DNA and we're thrilled to work with Los Angeles Unified public schools on this major initiative as they plan to roll out iPads to every student across 47 campuses this fall," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing said in a press release.
U.S. & World
Apple's signature tablet won't be used for "Angry Birds" or "Temple Run" however. The iPads will come pre-loaded with educational apps, textbooks and other software to aid students the LAUSD says wouldn't normally be able to afford the technology.
"The most important thing is to try to prepare the kids for the technology they are going to face when they are going to graduate," Mark Hovatter, the chief facilities executive for the LAUSD, told CITEworld.
"This is phase one, a mix of high school, middle school, and elementary students. We're targeting kids who most likely don't have their own computers or laptops or iPads. Their only exposure to computers now is going to be in their schools."

Florida Slip and Fall Injury
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common kind of personal injury lawsuits. If you were injured in a Florida slip and fall accident on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Just as it sounds, a slip and fall accident occurs when you trip over or slip on something on the floor, then fall down and injure yourself. A slip and fall accident may also be known as a:
- Trip and fall accident, when you trip over a foreign object
- Stump and fall accident, when you trip over an impediment while walking
- Step and fall accident, when you encounter an unexpected failure or hole while walking
Slip, trip, stump, step and fall accidents can occur from problems such as water, ice, grease, or food on a walking surface. They can also occur from a poorly maintained walking surface, including broken floorboards or crumbling steps, and in poorly lit areas.
When there is a potentially dangerous walking surface, the property owner (or tenant) and the person who is walking on the surface bear some responsibility for preventing the slip and fall and avoiding injuries. The property owner must keep the property safe. Anyone who encounters a slippery or otherwise dangerous walking surface must also exercise reasonable care to avoid hurting themselves.
In a slip and fall lawsuit, each party has some degree of responsibility. The injured party has to show that he or she exercised reasonable care when walking on the dangerous surface, and the property owner has to show that he or she took reasonable care to keep the property safe.
Slip and Fall Injuries at Work
If you are involved in a slip and fall injury at work, you normally cannot sue your employer under state personal injury laws. Work-related injuries instead would be covered under Florida workers' compensation laws.
Compensation for a Slip and Fall Injury
If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Past, present, and future medical bills for treatment related to your injuries
- The repair or replacement of any property (such as eyeglasses) that was damaged or destroyed when you fell
- Lost wages for time off from work (including time spent going to doctor's appointments and physical therapy)
- The cost of hiring someone to do household chores that you're unable to do because of your injury
- Permanent disability and disfigurement stemming from the accident
- Emotional distress stemming from the accident
- Any other costs you've incurred because of the accident
Florida courts will look at the comparative liability of each party (in other words, how much responsibility the injured party bears and how much responsibility the property owner bears for the injury). This percentage of liability is then used to calculate how much the property owner must pay in damages or compensation to the injured party and how much of the cost the injured party will have to bear.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
Florida law gives you four years from the date of your personal injury to file a claim against the party at fault. (This is known as the statute of limitations.) If you and your Florida personal injury lawyer are unable to negotiate a settlement with the property's owner or tenant (or with their insurance company), you should consider filing a lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out.
If your injury claim is for $15,000 or less, you would file your personal injury lawsuit in the Florida County Court that has jurisdiction. For injury claims worth more than $15,000, you would file your lawsuit in the appropriate Florida Circuit Court.

Legislation would require OMB to detail how agencies can transfer funds to stave off furloughs during sequester.
A GOP lawmaker is trying to help federal agencies avoid employee furloughs during the sequester.
Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, this week introduced legislation that would require the Office of Management and Budget to report to Congress on how to most efficiently transfer funds within agencies this fiscal year to avoid furloughs and layoffs of civilian workers. Many agencies have said they will have to put workers on unpaid leave ranging from a few days to 22 days during fiscal 2013 to meet the spending cuts mandated by the sequester. It is unlikely that any department will impose reductions-in-force as a result of sequestration because they are expensive. A furlough lasting more than 22 days is considered a layoff.
"Our federal workforce needs to be operating at 100 percent," said Farenthold, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform federal workforce subcommittee. "They should not be punished because the president, [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats failed to do their jobs and replace the sequester."
OMB has directed agencies to use furloughs as a last resort during the sequester, but some already have sent furlough notices to employees.
If enacted, OMB would have to submit a report to Congress within 30 days.

Omg what happened to all of the posts?!
I've done a bit of... autumn cleaning. Any topics that died before September were deleted. Furthermore, any topics that didn't pertain to topicality rules (below) were moved or deleted.
I'm going to introduce a slight topicality guideline. Most of the posts made on this board were following the general rule before, and any active topics are still left on the board. It's just that... well, the board needed a clean-up, and it needs a bit of order.
The Projects board is about the status of Marathon-related projects.
First, what is a project?
1. A project is a major/total conversion for Marathon/Aleph One, or a Marathon port to another engine (Doom to Marathon or Marathon to Doom, but not Doom to Unreal).
2. It can also be an Infinity single-player scenario, i.e. Siege of Nor'Korh or Gemini Station.
3. It can also be about netpacks as a whole.
4. It could be something that amplifies Aleph One, i.e. enhanced textures, music, etc.
5. Undertakings for new shapes, physics, lua/mml, or something along that line.
6. Films about Marathon (in-game clip montages, especially)
A project is not:
1. A single map you're working on. Those belong in Mapping.
2. Something not related to Aleph One or Marathon at all.
So, topicality on the Projects board. Good topics are topics about the current status of a project in progress. These include:
1. Topics made by the project leader announcing the current progress of his project.
2. Topics by someone else asking about the progress of a project.
3. Topics announcing the completion or discontinuation of a project.
4. Any other topic asking for input from the leader to the board about a project.
Bad topics are:
1. Topics discussing completed scenarios. These belong (most likely) in Marathon Story.
2. Something not about a project.
3. Discussion on mapping styles, mapping guidelines, quality, etc. These belong in mapping.
4. Topics intending to flame or troll (i.e. "your scenario sux"); they will be deleted and the poster warned.
5. Anything else that does not follow topicality.
I know it sounds strict, but it really isn't. As I said, most topics follow these guidelines as it is. Topics that go off-topic as they age will be tolerated to a certain extent; flame wars in a topic will be deleted and the combatants will probably be warned. There's a place for flame wars, and this board isn't it. Try to keep topics on-track. If they do go off-topic, as long as they're civil, they'll remain in place.
Thanks! Any questions can go here.

Federal personnel recordkeeping requirements are mandated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. EEOC Regulations require that employers keep all personnel or employment records for one year. If an employee is involuntarily terminated, his/her personnel records must be retained for one year from the date of termination.
Under ADEA recordkeeping requirements, employers must also keep all payroll records for three years. Additionally, employers must keep on file any employee benefit plan (such as pension and insurance plans) and any written seniority or merit system for the full period the plan or system is in effect and for at least one year after its termination.
Under Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) recordkeeping requirements applicable to the EPA, employers must keep payroll records for at least three years. In addition, employers must keep for at least two years all records (including wage rates, job evaluations, seniority and merit systems, and collective bargaining agreements) that explain the basis for paying different wages to employees of opposite sexes in the same establishment.
These requirements apply to all employers (15 or more employees) covered by Federal anti-discrimination laws, regardless of whether a charge has been filed against the employer.
When a Charge Has Been Filed
The EEOC Notice of Charge form that you receive should explain the agency's record keeping requirements. When an EEOC charge has been filed against your company, you should retain personnel or employment records relating to the issues under investigation as a result of the charge, including those related to the charging party or other persons alleged to be aggrieved and to all other employees holding or seeking positions similar to that held or sought by the affected individual(s).
Once a charge is filed, these records must be kept until the final disposition of the charge or any lawsuit based on the charge. When a charge is not resolved after investigation, and the charging party has received a notice of right to sue, "final disposition" means the date of expiration of the 90-day statutory period within which the aggrieved person may bring suit or, where suit is brought by the charging party or the EEOC, the date on which the litigation is terminated, including any appeals.

Twitter chats allow people who want to learn more about a topic to get together and learn things from each other. Before you start diving into holding a chat… there are a few things you need to consider.
- Ask yourself is there enough to talk about? Consider the topic you wish to build the chat around. Is it broad and deep enough to generate a sustained discussion about? How many areas about this topic can you develop questions around? I started my chat around the subject of Knitting (and fiber-related crafts). To the non-knitter it may seem that this is not a robust and broad topic, but just check out the activity in a social network site of over 1 million knitters called Ravelry, and you'll understand that chatter about knitting can seem infinite.
- Never underestimate the power of previous connections on Twitter. Build a modest following first. If you're just going to plan a chat and expect people to come, they won't. Try to start posting relevant information on the topics you are interested in. Don't over do it though, also make sure you sound human in your post and not stiff and from a marketing department. Here's a nice primer on how to plan out your use of Twitter.
- Expect that the first few sessions might have a limited following or number of participants. Unless you have a large and avid following already, the first few sessions may include only a handful of people who are actually chatting. This is okay. Provided that your topics generate enough interest, and you spend some time promoting the chat both in Twitter and other venues, you will be able to gradually achieve a larger base of participants.
- Training for participation is key. Try to define what the chat will looking like to your audience. I know the first time I heard of Twitter chats I was indeed mystified as to how they worked. I created a short post explaining the basics of the chat format to my audience to help explain how to participate.
- Great conversation facilitation is dependent on the quality of the prompts & questions crafted by the facilitator or other members of the chat's community. Coming up with questions that keep a conversation going can be a challenge. In the first two chat's I've set up I loosely followed the format of the "#lrnchat" discussion. Introductions first then a set of 4-5 discussion related questions. Questions should be somewhat open ended and not have "Yes" or "No" responses only. A whole separate post or even series of blog posts could be devoted to "how to draft fabulously dynamic discussion questions."
- Expect "lurkers" not "talkers" at first. Not everyone feels comfortable diving into a conversation. They may have to observe and before the feel safe enough. They may also be struggling (as I did with the pasting the hashtag into every post). It was not easy to do this in Twitter the first time I tried engaging in a chat a few months ago, that or I'd not figured out the tools yet.
- Don't expect to "hog" the facilitator's role. Generate ideas for topics from the participants in the community that you've tapped. They after all, are the lifeblood of the conversation. Also, after hosting for several sessions, think about letting others who are interested host or facilitate the chat.
These are just some initial thoughts to consider before starting your own chat. I'll try to document the steps I took to getting my chat started in a future post.

The Lake Region Classification System is a tool used for grouping lakes based on similarities in physiography, geology, soils, hydrology, water chemistry, vegetation, and climate. It was created from a cooperative effort involving the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and researchers at the University of Florida's Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. There are a total of 47 Lake Region groups. These are used to provide a framework of the different types of lakes in the state so that management plans can be developed for groups of lakes with similar characteristics. Learn more about Florida Lake Regions »
The lake region this lake is located in is:
Orlando Ridge (Region 7521)
This is an urbanized karst area of low relief, with elevations from 75-120 feet. Phosphatic sands and clayey sand are at a shallow depth. Lakes in this region can be characterized as clear, alkaline, hard-water lakes of moderate mineral content. They are mesotrophic to eutrophic, but it is difficult to distinguish between effects of urbanization and natural phosphatic levels. Lakes are more phosphatic and green than the Crescent City/Deland Ridges located to the north, and only slightly more than the Apopka Upland located to the west.

I am hoping that a lot of you might have tuned into the George Stephanopoulos show. I actually have found that I can't even look at McCain without feelings of disgust. Well he showed what a ginormous bigot he was on Sunday. George asked him if he would support gay couples adopting and he of course said no. Then when he was pressed on it he continued to say the same tired old "I am for the values that two parent families, the traditional family represents." George asked him about gay adoption NOT single parent adoption. Are there NOT two gay people in a gay family adoption? So are they NOT a two parent family, just with two parents of the same sex?
I guess I am just crazy but doesn't a family trump living in a cold group home or being bounced from foster home to foster home? I guess I see the hundreds of thousands of children in this country sitting and waiting for families as horrible. He obviously doesn't care, I mean he did go over seas to get his adopted child. He says he is going to try and boost two parent traditional family adoption rates. There are a bunch of two parent traditional people adopting, uh from other countries or they only want white infants. How is he going to force these families to adopt the older kids or minority children? Is he going to shame them into adoption like he said he was going to shame the oil companies into lowering their profits by lowering gas prices? Yep, that will work just great.
He then was asked about affirmative action and if you read this blog you already know that I am a proponent. He claims that he does not support quotas. I understand that affirmative action isn't perfect but it is by no means a quota system. As there is NO where in the affirmative action that says a company must set aside quotas or any such thing. He said that he has not looked at any of the details, which is evidently his style of politics even though he criticizes others on making decisions before actually getting the whole story. He actually said at one time that he was a supporter so his flip flop about affirmative action is just the newest somersault. At this rate if he doesn't make it as president he might have a chance to represent us with the American gymnastics team at the Olympics. Maybe instead of coming up with the same old tired white privileged male propaganda about affirmative action he might talk with the American Psychological Association who did a whole study on affirmative action.
According to them "Data indicate that the biases against minorities and women that humans show in laboratory settings are reflected in real-world practices. According to the March 1995 report of the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission, for example, a large proportion of minorities and women are locked into low-wage, low-prestige, and dead-end jobs. Additional data suggest that these two groups have been disproportionately affected by current trends in workforce downsizing; many service-oriented industries, for example, disproportionately employ women and minorities and are likely to continue downsizing through the year 2002. It is likely that the minorities and women who work in these industries will be hardest hit (Murrell and Jones, 1995)."
Maybe he will want to know the answers to a lot of the propaganda surrounding affirmative action since it is obvious that he never got a chance to do any research on the subject. He just knows that he doesn't like quotas. Here are some of the facts surrounding the propaganda.
Many people argue that affirmative action has caused reverse discrimination against Whites.
However, a 1995 analysis by the U.S. Department of Labor found that affirmative action programs do not lead to widespread reverse discrimination claims by Whites. In fact, a high proportion of such claims filed were found to lack merit. The analysis found that fewer than 100 out of 3,000 discrimination cases filed actually involved reverse discrimination, and in only six cases were such claims substantiated (Wilson, 1995).
Critics of affirmative action usually believe that people should be selected for positions based on merit alone.
The reality is that most, if not all, hiring decisions involve some sort of unspoken preferential treatment. Sometimes the decision is based on a personal connection or relationship; sometimes it is based on likeability or comfort level (Wilson, 1995). In fact, the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission (1995) confirmed that white men tend to be more comfortable with, and therefore more likely to hire and promote, other white men, thus revealing the prevalence of racial- and gender-based preferential treatment.
Many people argue that affirmative action stigmatizes recipients.
Although the data support this contention, it should be acknowledged that stigma and negative stereotypes associated with race and gender existed in this country long before affirmative action was implemented. This does not mean that stigma and negative stereotypes are acceptable, but rather that they exist independently of affirmative action. There are, however, steps that can be taken to reduce stigma, as noted in the answer to the next question.
Are affirmative action recipients less qualified than those persons who are not its recipients?
Although anecdotes can be traded, there is little evidence to suggest that there is any truth in the perception that affirmative action recipients are less qualified than their colleagues (Pratkanis and Turner, 1995).
Two field studies of manufacturing and police organizations did not find any drop in organizational performance as a result of implementing affirmative action policies. Formal performance appraisals of minorities in work organizations do not find significantly lower performance of these workers compared to Whites. Some case studies have found unexpected positive benefits to organizations that have implemented affirmative action.
But it is obvious that McCain is just another white privileged man in America holding tight to the belief that it is fine to have racial favoritism for white males without any type of help leveling the playing field. He also believes that it is fine to be a bigot as long as you can qualify it by saying that you either favor some sort of "heterosexual lifestyle" or you "don't like quotas." Neither of these two statements changes the bigotry of the things he has said. He claims to wants to be president in order to make families' lives better. I guess he is going to try and ignore all the homosexual and black families' who happen to live in this country. Nice job McCain it shouldn't be that hard, just continue what you have been doing so far and you will no doubt be able to accomplish this small goal.

KB is very dry for Star Wars right now i noticed.
I just noticed the Shuttle has been marked down now to $59.99 and you can use the code:SEARSKBTOY for an additional $10 off!
...And some people said it would never go on clearance.....
Well, I'm of the opinion that when something is potentially going to be produced in such limited quantities, you better jump on it (if you're even remotely interested) while you've got the chance (dare I say Toyfair Vader, from which many of us have learned). Even though this is a large and expensive ship, I'm sure there's more than enough collectors plus scalpers who will be willing to shell out the $125 for it. This puppy ain't goin' on clearance.

In keeping with my culinary exploration of flavors from around the globe, I decided that my next sojourn would be to the fabled land of Morocco. But being that I can't afford the airfare, this trip would have to take place in my kitchen.
Moroccan food has always appealed to me because of its use of vibrantly colored and flavorful spices. The cuisine reflects Moorish, Mediterranean, Arab and Berber influences, its dishes even more heavily spiced than those of the aforementioned locales.
Cinnamon, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, ginger and saffron are just a few of the many spices often used in Morocco's signature tagines, couscous dishes, pastillas, soups and sides.
Besides the meat- and lamb- heavy main dishes, Moroccans use a wide range of fruit and vegetables in their cookery. That's why I've chosen this flavorful carrot soup as the vehicle for my "spicy" fix.
Great for any time of the year, this brightly colored, puréed Moroccan-spiced carrot soup is creamy, bursting with flavor, easy to prepare and also quite healthy. The featured ingredient is chock full of dietary fiber, antioxidants and vitamins — namely, beta carotene and vitamin A, which is great for eye health.
(Though unfortunately the urban legend that eating lots of carrots will allow one to see in the dark isn't true.)
Feel free to play around with the spices in this soup, adding more or less of whatever pleases your palate, or throw in a different combination of flavors typical of Moroccan cooking. And instead of orange carrots, why not grab some purple, red or yellow carrots to give it a colorful makeover?
My last piece of advice on this recipe: If you have a food processor, use it. It will surely save your hands from all of the chopping required and will cut your prep time in half.
Bil hana wish shifa'!

Two masked men dressed in Santa hats robbed a royal guard of his automatic weapon in Stockholm last night.
The pair mounted a successful surprise attack on the guard, The Local reports.
"This is serious. I have a hard time believing it is a prank. It might be premeditated," said appropriately-named local police commander Anders Krook.
The gun stolen by the bad Santas was a loaded AK-5, fitted with a bayonet.
"I don't know what level of force the robbers used and if they made threats, but firing a gun is the last course of action," said a spokesman for the royal guards.
A review of security procedures has been launched. ®

How to Make Your Own Vegan Spa Products
Guest post from Bailey Harris.
If you have ever been to a spa, you know it can be a great, relaxing experience. On the other hand, it can be very expensive. If you are a vegan, finding a spa that uses only vegan products can be quite tedious, and it may cost you even more money. Fortunately, it's possible to make your own vegan spa products, using ingredients that you may have on hand. You can save money by bringing the spa experience to your very own home.
Facial Scrubs
Facial scrubs exfoliate your skin, leaving it with a beautiful glow. You can create your own vegan facial scrub using a recipe that consists of 1/4 cup finely ground oatmeal, 1/4 cup rice flour, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1/2 of a mashed banana. Just combine all the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until a smooth paste is formed. Apply to your face and neck using circular motions. Rinse well after massaging for a few minutes. You should make this scrub fresh each time you wish to use it, as banana will spoil quite quickly. You can also make a larger batch of this scrub and use it on your entire body.
Another recipe for a vegan facial scrub uses 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup sweet almond oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine all ingredients, mix well, and store in a tightly-lidded jar. Massage into your face and neck for a few minutes, and then rinse well with lukewarm water. Use any leftover scrub within a week. Sugar is a great exfoliant that will remove dead skin cells and leave your skin smooth and soft. This recipe can also be used as an effective body scrub.
A very simple vegan facial scrub can be made by mixing 4 tablespoons cornmeal with 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. The acid in vinegar makes it a great skin brightener, while the cornmeal sloughs away dead skin cells. Your skin will look amazing after using this mixture.
Facial Masks
Facial masks can be very beneficial to your skin. Many different vegan facial mask recipes exist, and the one you choose will depend on your skin's needs. A vegan facial mask recipe for normal to dry skin types uses 1/2 of a ripe avocado, 1 carrot, and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Peel and cook the carrot until soft. Meanwhile, peel the avocado and remove the pit. Place the cooked carrot and 1/2 of the avocado in a blender or food processor. Add the olive oil and blend until smooth. Apply to your face, leave on for 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. This mask nourishes skin and adds moisture.
If you have oily skin, you will need a mask that has purifying capabilities. A good recipe for oily skin uses 1/2 of a ripe tomato, 1 tablespoon oatmeal, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until uniform in appearance. Smooth onto face and neck and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. Both tomatoes and lemon juice are natural astringents and will dissolve excess oil, leaving skin clear and smooth.
Foot Soaks
Chances are your feet are one of the most neglected parts on your body. You might not pay much attention to them until summer comes along and it's time to wear cute sandals. You then realize they are dry, cracked and in need of desperate attention. A foot soak will soften rough, dry skin and prepare it for a quality foot scrub. You can easily make a vegan foot soak using one gallon of water, 5 drops lavender essential oil, and 1/2 cup sea or Epsom salt. Boil the water and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour it into a large bowl or basin, making sure it is large enough for your feet to fit. Add the lavender oil and salt and mix until salt is dissolved. Soak your feet for 20 to 30 minutes. This soak smells great and will relax tired, sore feet.
An energizing, refreshing vegan foot soak can be made by combining one gallon of water, 3 drops peppermint essential oil, 1 drop eucalyptus essential oil, and 1 drop lemon essential oil. Boil the water and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Pour it into a bowl or basin that is large enough for your feet. Add the oils and stir well. Soak your feet for as long as you like. This soak has an energizing scent that will refresh feet and invigorate the senses.
Foot Scrubs
After a foot soak, your feet will really benefit from a foot scrub. It will remove all the rough, dry skin cells that were softened during the foot soak. You can create your own vegan foot scrub at home using 8 to 10 strawberries, 2 tablespoons apricot kernel oil (sweet almond oil also works well), and one tablespoon coarse sea salt. Mash the strawberries, then combine them with the oil and salt, mixing well. Massage into your feet for a few minutes, focusing on rough patches. Rinse completely and pat dry. Your feet will be very soft, smooth, and ready for your summery sandals.
Another vegan foot scrub recipe combines 4 tablespoons ground coffee (fresh is best), 3 tablespoons cornmeal, 3 tablespoons sea salt, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 drops lavender essential oil. Mix all the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until paste-like. Massage into feet, using circular motions, for a few minutes. Rinse your feet well and pat dry. Your feet will thank you.
After using these recipes to make your own vegan spa products, you will see how easy it is to bring the spa experience into your own home. You will have peace of mind knowing that everything you are using is vegan, and you will save money as well. All and all, it is definitely worth your while to give these recipes a try.

For those of you who don't know, I have recently taken a day job. It is a long story that I'll go into another time. Anyway, it's an awesome job and I'm really enjoying it. And yes, I'm still writing my books, so don't worry. By the way, did you know that sleep could never, ever be overrated? Yeah, I was surprised too.
The cool part is that I get to wear all those abfab clothes and shoes, and carry all those handbags I haven't used in years. Somehow, a pair of Carlos by Carlos Santana platform sandals doesn't work with a t-shirt and sweatpants.
The weird part is coming home to my kids, who seemed like "just kids" before but now resemble little people who were visited by the Responsibility Fairy. They do their chores and homework. Why didn't anyone tell me I just had to go back to work to get that???
The first day I came home, I flung open the door, awaiting my hero's welcome. Both kids looked at me and mumbled, "hey," before going back to whatever they were doing. That was somewhat anti-climactic. I went straight to the phone and called my mom to apologize for doing that to her all those years.
Mr. Assassin must have threatened them with the Bore Worms ("NO! Not the Bore Worms!) because since that day, they have leaped into my arms as Stepford Children.
Mr. Assassin had to go back to work after Cmas break, so we revisited the nostalgia of our youth and turned our children into latchkey kids. And they've done very well. Miss Margaret texts me when she and Jack get home. And then proceeds to text me every five minutes regarding Jack's personal hygiene, his general mood and how many bowel movements he has. She goes on to rat him out on everything even remotely bad he might be doing.
I am working on resolving this issue.
So imagine my surprise when I arrived home last night to find both kids just inside the door, shifting nervously as if they were running a heroin ring using the basset as a drug mule. It went a little something like this:
Me: What did you do?
Margaret: Mom, don't be mad at us!
Uh oh.
Jack: Can we have another dog?
Margaret: There's a surprise in the basement!
Not only did I breathe a sigh of relief, but I decided I had to work with them on their surprise-there's-a-dog/Joe-the-plumber/dead hooker-in-the-basement routine.
So, I follow them downstairs while Margaret tells me they found a stray Pug and brought him in.
Jack: We saved his life!
Margaret: Yeah! She could've frozen to death out there and there's no collar, so can we keep her?
Me: That's a Shih tzu.
Margaret: It is? I thought it was a Pug.
Me: That doesn't look anything like Lucy. That dog is thin and has lots of hair.
Margaret: So can we keep it?
Me: (Picking up the dog) No. Sara and Doug across the street would miss Herkey. (Continue carrying dog upstairs and dialing cell phone.)
Jack: What? What do you mean? (He says that a lot. It's really annoying.)
That's right. My kids stole the neighbor's dog. And she happens to be the PTA president. I am so screwed.

Things You Shouldn't Come Home To...

Do your kids steal cats too? My husband would appreciate our "beloved feline" (notice the quotes) finding a loving new home.
The kids would miss the cat, but they'd get over it if they knew for certain said cat found a loving new home and they could then get a dog.
I'd honestly miss the cat. Most days.
The cat's name is Tucker, but he would ignore a new name with equal enthusiasm. :-)
(Don't get all growly on me. This is a very pampered kitty--his bed is even heated.)

Laurel! That's pretty funny. No cats so far. The photo is of one of our cats who managed to get into the guinea pig cage and hang out with them one afternoon.
Love "Creme Brulee Upset!" What a great title!

See, that picture totally threw me off. LOL! Industrious kiddos you have there. Almost as if they were in training for some kind of future criminal activity. Hmmm....

What about toddlers? Will they steal a toddler for a few hours? He comes with a puppy!
You know, sad part is, your PTA lady probably let the dog out to go potty and that's when your kids swiped him!

Too Funny Leslie!
You're lucky the dog belonged to the neighbor, at my house, we end up keeping every stray. Well, except the chicken.
Great post.
- February 4, 2009 at 8:49 AM
- Leslie Langtry said...
While I'd go ga-ga over the toddler, my kids would go crazy over a puppy. Not sure if you live across the street though...that seems to be part of the equation.
A chicken, Christie? Really?

I love your kids. You know, in a wow-I'm-glad-they-live-half-a-country-away kind of way. Then again... I do have an old incontinent hamster that could use a good home...
- February 4, 2009 at 9:39 AM
- Jenyfer Matthews said...
LOL - my kids are kind of animal phobic so I think I'm safe on that front anyway!!
- February 4, 2009 at 10:49 AM
- Leslie Langtry said...
Incontinent hamster? That can't be good. BTW, how do you know he's incontinent? Don't they just "go" whenever and wherever they want to anyway?
- February 4, 2009 at 10:56 AM
- Wendy Roberts said...
Thanks for the laugh! I swear there's a book somewhere in the 'tattling by text message' thing kids kids have going on these days! Hope the kids continue being responsible humans and leave the neighborhood pets alone he he.

What a cute story, Christie. Great kids, too.

LOL I thought the cat was in a large bird cage and had eaten said bird.
You got out lucky. I just found a poor stray kitten but even after a trip (and tons of money) to the vet it didn't make it - I'm really heart broken.
- February 4, 2009 at 3:54 PM

Oh! I hate it when that happens! That's so sad!

This is the funniest thing I've read in weeks, thank you. LOL
