Clerk asks canvass board to hand count ballots in tight supervisor's race
On Thursday morning Bustamante said only 13 provisional ballots remained uncounted in that district.
According to the unofficial final results posted on the county clerk's website, excluding those 13 provisional ballots, Pyle garnered 832 votes (50.92 percent) and Hodge garnered 797 votes (48.78 percent).
According to those results, Pyle leads Hodge by only 35 votes.
"The canvass process for the June 5, 2012 Primary Election began this morning at 9: 30 a.m.," Bustamante wrote in a Thursday morning press release. "The canvass consists of four individuals who will verify that all ballots are accounted for and properly processed throughout Lassen County. By law they are also required to hand count 1 percent of the votes for every race on the ballot.Because the race for Supervisor District 1 is so close, I am going to have the canvass board hand count the entire district."
Bustamante said she expects the canvass of the election will be completed by Friday, June 7.

Marine kills two at Quantico base, takes own life
The shootings took place late on Thursday in the vicinity of the Marine Corps Base at Quantico's Officer Candidate School, and all three people who died were identified as Marines, Marines spokesman Sergeant Christopher Zahn said.
"An isolated shooting incident has occurred at Officer Candidate School, Quantico," the base said on its Facebook page. "The suspect has been barricaded by law enforcement personnel."
The Facebook message told base residents to remain in their homes with their doors locked, until the lockdown was lifted before dawn on Friday. No other injuries were reported, and Zahn could give no details as to a motive for the shootings.
"The investigation is in the very early stages," he said.
The shootings came days after seven U.S. Marines were killed in a mortar explosion at an Army munitions depot in Nevada during a live-fire training exercise.
In that incident on Monday, a lightweight mortar exploded prematurely in its firing tube, killing the Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, who had been undergoing mountain warfare training, and wounding eight other service members.
It prompted the Marines to order a blanket suspension of the use of 60mm mortars pending a review.

High school swimming: Gilmour's McNichols tests the waters in new event
Saturday's Viking Invitational had to feel a little different for Gilmour junior sprint freestyle standout Macie McNichols, the reigning Division II 50- and 100--yard free state champion.
McNichols deviated from her usual lineup of events, lengthening out to take on the 100 and 200 free at Viking. The four-time top-two state placer in sprint free was a solid third in the 200 free with a time of 1 minute, 53.41 seconds, then came back later to capture the 100 free in a meet-record 50.06.
Swimming the 200 free is not a long-term plan, however.
"I think this was just for Viking," McNichols said. "My coaches wanted to see what I could do (in the 200 free). The time was OK — I've gone a little faster a couple weeks ago. But I'm content, not being tapered."
Another reason Saturday's meet might have a felt a little different: McNichols said she was battling a sinus infection. That, though, did not affect her putting in two quality swims individually and turning in legs on the Lancers' third-place 200 free and runner-up 400 free relays.
Quinn to Virginia
The News-Herald area senior contingent has another Division I recruit in its ranks, and considering his work the last couple years, it comes as no surprise. Chagrin Falls' Austin Quinn, who had four top-four finishes last winter at state, will continue his career at Virginia.
"It was a combination of a lot of things," said Quinn, who won the 100 fly and 100 back Saturday at Viking. "When I went on my trip there, everything just felt so right. I felt like I could fit in with the team. The coaches are amazing. The support staff is amazing. It's just the best environment I could have chosen for my swimming."
In February at state, Quinn was the D-II runner-up in the 500 free, fourth in the 200 IM and swam legs on the Tigers' second-place 200 medley and 400 free relays.
Viking leftovers Continued...
-- Lenny Sterle's 50 free win Saturday marked the first event victory by a Mayfield swimmer at Viking since 1998, when Erin Abbey took the girls 50 free and 100 back.
-- The Hawken girls' first-place finishes in the 200 free and 400 free relays Saturday marked the 10th consecutive year in which the Hawks have captured at least two relays at Viking.
-- N-H area individual second-place finishers Saturday not already mentioned in coverage of the meet were: Hawken's Micah Simpson (200 free and 100 fly), Henry Senkfor (200 IM and 500 free) and Elijah Spiro (100 breast) and Mayfield's Grant Gillenwater (100 free).
Honor roll
A look at a few of the top performances by area swimmers from meets held this past week:
-- North's Jeff Scavnicky was first in the 50 free and 100 fly and opened the winning 200 free relay during a quad meet with Lake Catholic, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin and Harvey.
-- Gordon Wong took the 100 breast and swam legs on the first-place 200 medley and 200 free relays as University defeated Gilmour, 194-85.
-- Gilmour's Kiley Eble won the 200 IM and 100 fly and took part in the winning 200 free and 400 free relays in a dual meet against Hathaway Brown.
-- Alan Shirer was first in the 50 free and 100 free and swam legs on the first-place 200 free and 400 free relays as Euclid defeated Bedford, 80-75.
Leaders debut Continued...
Area leaders will debut in Friday's edition. Most times are compiled from the Northeast District leaders on swimmeet.com. Area coaches have been contacted about submitting additional times that may qualify for the N-H top 10 in an event but not make the swimmeet.com rankings.

Henry VIII's State Apartments
The Tudor Kitchens
The Wolsey Rooms
The King's Apartments of William III
The Queen's State Apartments

We have a lot of those in my family. But these are our favorite pairs.
I'm guessing the date of the photo to be around 1905. And this one always cracks me up, because these were "good" Baptist boys, but they look to me like members of an organized crime family hiding out in the woods.

Using Vaporizers and Humidifiers
Topic Overview
Reference Vaporizers and humidifiers Opens New Window help moisten the mouth and throat when breathing the dry, heated indoor air of the winter months. The mist from a humidifier may be preferred because of the risk of burns from steam vaporizers. Keep vaporizers and humidifiers out of the reach of babies and toddlers.
A shallow pan of water in the room can substitute for a vaporizer or humidifier and avoids the hazard of mold. Be sure to keep the pan out of the reach of babies and toddlers. Do not put it on the floor or other areas where a child could fall in. A young child can drown in shallow pans of water.
If you use a vaporizer, remember to:
- Change the water and clean the inside of the machine daily. This is important with humidifiers too.
- Not add medicine to vaporizer water. This may cause spasms of the Reference large breathing tubes (bronchus) Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.

Bomb Plot Suspects Indicted by Federal Grand Jury
The men each face three counts stemming from a what federal officials say was a plan to blow up a Brecksville bridge.
The five men arrested in the plot to blow up a bridge in Brecksville have now been indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday.
The self-proclaimed anarchists will each face three counts stemming from a plan hatched over several months to blow up the State Route 82 bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Brandon Baxter, 20, of Lakewood, Douglas L. Wright, 26, Anthony Hayne, 35, Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S. Stafford, 23, face charges including one count of attempted use of an explosive.
The men had hoped to use C-4 explosives to blow up the bridge, after deciding against other targets such as the Cuyahoga County Justice Center, the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland and the Detroit-Superior Bridge, according to an affidavit.
However, the men — working with an FBI informant — bought fake bomb-making materials from an undercover FBI agent.
They were arrested Monday night.
The men — all fringe members of the Occupy Cleveland movement — are also charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction to destroy a highway carrying interstate commerce and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The men face up to life in prison for the charges, said Mike Tobin, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
He wouldn't comment on whether the men will face additional charges.
Represented by different attorneys, the men are scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. May 7 at the federal courthouse in Cleveland for a detention hearing and a preliminary hearing.
They will remain in custody until then.

I don't quite understand what they were trying to say with their actions in the first place. If your message isn't clear to the people for which it's intended, then, whether you think so or not, you aren't enlightening anyone, you're not changing anything, and your passion is transparently rooted in anger, ignorance and the desire to be noticed rather than a commitment to actual positive change. Possible life in prison. So pointless. Good luck fellas.

10:10 am on Saturday, May 5, 2012
Claiming that these losers are the face of Occupy and that they represent them. Interesting. Following that type of logic (that a few idiots that want to blow up a bridge means the whole group wants to be destructive) means that I can say that the tea party is full of racists and bigots, that they all believe Obama is a muslim and that he was not born in the US. Sad commentary on the thought processes working around just because people would rather hate than think.

@tom m. Wow, really? Are you saying that some people in a group are childish and act with malice? What a surprise!
Yes, more wankers that want to believe that they are involved. Every group has the nut jobs on the extremist side. Republicans, Democrats, Tea Party, Ocupy, Christian, Muslim, Athiest, Communist...etc. Just because there are extremists does not mean that the entire group should be labeled.

2:13 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
Asking for a "link" is missing the point. Douglas's point was that every group has their extreme members. And they do. Which include the teabaggots. It's not being inferred that all "extreme" kooks go on property damage sprees.
12:29 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
@Douglas. They did the same thing with bullie dogs, one problem and they BAN the whole breed, but totally disregard all the other attacks on other breeds. Thats not fair either. End BSL in Lakewood.

12:34 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
and yet while those people in the group were being 'childish" the other peaceful innocent occupy protesters did nothing to stop them and please give me one example of damage done to public property at a christian athiest or tea party event come on douglas this is your time to shine I know you are upset that 25% of your fellow occupy crowd is in jail for trying to blow up what should have been such a nice home for your crowd
3:08 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
The videos you link are black bloc groups which are not associated with OWS. While the media has gone out of their way to say they are a part of Black Bloc, they are not. You should also take a look at the Boston Tea Party. They used violent property destruction as a form of protest. These people risked going to jail to make a point.
If we want to play dishonest games as you do, we could point to a Tea Party member in Arizona who just went on a shooting spree and killed 4 people. If you were even remotely intellectually honest, you would apply the same standard to yourself and say that the Tea Party is a violent group of people. Also, you should learn basic grammar because it makes you look like you're in grade school.

tom m, you make a few mistakes here.
#1. I am not an Occupy anything person. Never said I was.
#2. You clearly have no concept of punctuation, but I guess that is not really important, just doesn't help your argument.
#3. one example? Christian - let me think real hard here...Crusades? I know, long time ago but still a valid point since we are talking extremists.
I agree that the tea party has not caused property damage directly. I agree that some in the occupy movement have. I just do not believe that an entire group, that believe that they are working towards making a country better, should be classified with the extremists of their group.

Hugh if the only thing you can do is proof read means you really have not done any thing except may be went to school. Have not really been around the world and seen what the O.W.S. stands for. Nothing, I speak five languages and write not too well in any of them. However there seems to be a lot more people who can understand miss spelled words in any language than some dolt who can only speak one. But then this is one of the Leftists standard attacks. Go with facts not brain dead ideas.

@James Murphy: Try looking up the Boston Tea Party. They stopped commerce, used property destruction (which is labeled violence here), and direct action. Also, a Tea Party member just went on a shooting spree in Arizona and killed four people. He also happened to be a neo-nazi and gave speeches at Tea Party gatherings. Does that mean that the Tea Party is full of violent people? Of course not.

not really hugh ......Gilbert Ready, a prospective Democratic candidate for Pinal County Sheriff
7:37 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
Tom: You fail to understand even a simple point because you've blinded yourself ideologically. The point is, there are a number of groups both within Occupy and the Tea Party. Most people are peaceful within both groups. However, there are a couple of nuts within both organizations. Instead of pointing out a few cases, you need to show us where decisions within the general assembly (where all decisions about Occupy are made) show violent activities. These decisions are made public for all to see. So far, there has been no decisions made within these groups either to commit property destruction or violence. Also, there are 30,000 Occupy members on Reddit. I've been visiting that forum for some time and everyone there is against violence and property destruction.
You also claim that Occupy did nothing to stop these people from attempting to blow up the bridge. This is false. It was members within the Occupy movement that called the police when they tried to incite violence. This probably tipped off the FBI and their eventual arrest. Can you tell me what the Tea Party did to prevent Jason Todd Ready from going on a shooting spree?
7:44 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
Tom: You are getting your facts wrong. The name is Jason Todd Ready and not Gilbert Ready. Gilbert is the city he went on a shooting spree. He also tried to run as a Republican when he was blocked. Therefore, he ran as a Democrat.

my facts are not wrong here is jason todd ready (JT Ready) at the occupy Pheonix Rally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vplwUROCAFY&feature=fvwrel
10:18 pm on Saturday, May 5, 2012
Joe: You are missing the point. Radical people such as Ready and others join the Occupy and Tea Party movement to try and convert members. They could care less about the over theme.
Tom: So Ready went to both the Tea Party and Occupy. This goes perfectly with my point. Just because you have a radical person, that does not mean that they constitue the whole. I'm still waiting for you to show me the general assemblies voting to use violence.
Again, you need to start using basic grammar. It's almost impossible to tell what you are saying. You could start by capitalizing the first letter of the sentence.
Murphy: Wrong. He was much closer to the Tea Party movement who supported his anti-immigration policy. In fact, one of the themes in Occupy Phoenix is the treatment of illegal aliens and they are highly agaisnt both neo-nazis and the minutemen.

Tom there is nothing gained trying to reason with a dig bat. Just the Recorded [ rapes, robbery's, destruction of property, Private and public. assaults, leaving trash all over. Block traffic, cost millions from hard working people to clean up after. ] Mean nothing to them. Or the recorded Support by the AMERICAN COMUNIEST PARTYS, NAZI PARTY, DEMOCRATE PARTY, AFL-CIO, etc . Means nothing to them. Or that most smell so bad you can tell them a mile down the road. They are a blister on the heal of man kind. Do nothing to contribute to our society. O and have the support of our leftist President who has stated so publicly. Wow and we are trying to reason with these minority ding bats. A Small group making some noise that's all.

The word coward comes to mind, when I think of these five, young , upstanding citizens lol. I will call them, The Wonder Bread Gang lol. There was a time in this country when, if you tried to do something of this nature, you were destined for the gallows. Half the people in this country aren't worth the extra soft Charmin they wipe their butts with. Today, you don't have to serve your country, but you expect your country to serve you lol. I wish Zimmerman had run into these fellows. I guess five grown men is a lot more intimidating than a seventeen year old boy with ice tea? There are extremists in every group, whether it's the tea party, the occupy movement, ALEC, or whatever brand of the week the media chooses to cover. If you are a terrorist, or a bigot, one who spreads lies and propaganda, I laugh at you. As for the Tea Party, give me a break. How could they even compare themselves to those blokes, who told England, up yours. Those gentlemen were carved out of wood, those gentlemen stood for something, those gentlemen were the great military minds of their day and those gentlemen were patriots . When I think tea party, I don't think patriot. I think uneducated, then old, then bigot, then Hitler, and then Mussolini. Just cause you wear polo shirts to your gathering doesn't make you any less of an idiot. A sheep in wolves clothing, is still a sheep. I have a Native American friend and he told me, he hopes everyone goes home.

The Division of Special Education submitted and was awarded a new Professional Development grant (formerly the State Improvement Grant). This new grant will be in place for the next three to four years.
Tennessee created a set of Early Learning Developmental Standards (TN ELDS) in 2004 to help all adults who care for children across the state understand appropriate practices for caring for children from birth to age 5.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports projects across Tennessee are available to provide assistance to schools and systems.
The two IRIS Center modules anchor the resources provided here for schools striving to increase student learning in math.
In any classroom supporting student achievement, two components would be visible: good teaching and good behavior. The SPDG website focuses on both of those elements through information about good instructional practices in the classroom. In addition, SIG helps to support teachers to work with families, encouraging teachers to help families support the learning that takes place in the schools.
Some of you may have worked with us under our former name – SIG. The Tennessee State Improvement Grant (SIG) has now transitioned into its new activities and name - the Tennessee State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG)...

Hi folks...it's been several years since I have been active on this site, but I know some of you will remember me. I'm Pam from Michigan. Anyway, I check in here about every six months or so to see what's happening (or not as the case might be) and I saw Donna's post begging for a challenge of some kind. So, I'll give you one. When I'm in a rut and just don't know what to scrap, I pick three things and get going - that way the task is not so hard as to make me not want to do it. Here's your challenge. Please post it when you're done so others can see it and get some inspiration. 1. Use the color purple (any shade, any product). 2. Use ribbon (any color, any kind). 3. Use yellow patterned paper (flowers, circles, swirls, popcorn, sunshine, stripes, varigated, anything). That's it! Have fun and remember to post! Pam | |||
Hi Pam.... so good to see you again. I will try to do this... I've been so busy! I did get 2 lo's done this weekend... that's great for me! lol Clarinda Scrappin Done in 2010 8 1/2 x 11 - 12 x 12 -11 cards -12 altered note books-14 title swap - 35 | ||||

Fantastic! I'll be watching for your finished layouts! Pam | ||||
I keep promising that I'll learn to post my work, but I just haven't followed through. I guess I'm not that motivated. Marsha Happy to be in God's service. | ||||
Well I got a little time to finish the 2nd lo to the one I did this weekend but it was in blues... I need to find something to do purple with... Thanks for the motivation! Clarinda Scrappin Done in 2010 8 1/2 x 11 - 12 x 12 -11 cards -12 altered note books-14 title swap - 35 | ||||
Well, I did a purple Disney Princesses page and used pink ribbons. Next, I'm doing a Winnie the Pooh page, so that will take care of my yellow. I see yellow patterned paper poke-a-dots on the page. Marsha Happy to be in God's service. | ||||

7. | grommit | ||
The grommits can simply be defined by the explosive release of fecal matter. If for any reason you want to get the grommits, you can achieve this by eating scurvy food (Denny's, Perkins, any Chinese restaurant) or by taking some kind of laxative. The grommits usually consist of the liquid form of matter but sometimes consist of a log that is expelled from the rectum at a high velocity, which sometimes is referred to as a streaker. The other day, I ate at Denny's. The omlette was very scurvy so as a result, i spent the majority of my afternoon on the commode with the grommits.
Aw, I just stepped in some dog grommit. |

2. | Grommit | ||
Grommit _(noun) An offensive term used to describe a male person, ranging in age from adolescence to young adulthood. Usually an obnoxious miscreant of urban or suburban upbringing, a Grommit's life usually revolves around low-grade or under-weight grams of marijuana (see also Grom). A Grommit is usually a half-assed (as in "not very talented") skateboarder, or surfer, or (typically in more rural areas) skimboarder. Grommits can usually be found in the parking lots of liquor stores and gas stations throughout most of the U.S. and Canada, where they are known to hassle people to illegally buy them cigarettes and/or beer. Their dress style/music preference can range from "crunk-hiphop douche-bag," to "skinny-jeans-wearin' emo-twerp," to" neo-metal nincompoop." Whatever their style be, Grommits are ALWAYS considered posers, and if you find yourself making a purchase at "Hot Topic," chances are you are one of them. Outside of skate/surf/skim-boarding, Grommit activities usually include: jacking candy from 7/11 as a political statement of "sticking it to DA-MAN," huffing gold-flake spray paint for an all-time classy buzz, harassing semi-friends of theirs who work at Taco Bell to "hook 'em up with a Churro," and last but not least, competing with each other over the heart of the Grommit female counterpart, the Gromette. Man.... I left my car unlocked in the 7/11 parking lot for two minutes and the damn grommits stole my pack of smokes off the dash. Worthless parking lot RATS!!!!!

4. | Grommit | ||
Just a little skate(board) rat(kid), this could apply to other "extreme" sports as well such as surfing, BMXing, motocross, etc. It can't however apply to traditional team sports. The kid should be hardcore skater and isn't your next door neighbor with knee-pads and rollerblades but it could be referred to a novice skater as well. Damn, this park is stuffed to the brim with grommits.

a grommit is a person who is grungy looking such as not shaving and having a grotest beard or smelling like shit or even dressed like hobo to public events dude ur such a grommit for wearing that

Over the time that I've had this blog, I've received multiple e-mails asking where one should go for vintage shopping while visiting the City of Roses. And often I find myself having to actually take the time to create a list instead of just being able to pull one out of my pocket. I've decided to change that routine…So here is the Atomic Redhead's Guide to Portland!
Please note that I have not included every vintage shop or antique mall in Portland. I have selected ones I enjoy shopping at. However, I have also included a handful of other shops that I don't often visit, but those seeking very high-end vintage garments or furniture may wish to visit. Additionally, I have listed some other Portland places you may want to visit, as well as places to grab a bite to eat or a drink.

Schumacher Close To Signing A New Deal With Mercedes GP?
Rumor has it that Michael Schumacher is close to extending his contract with Mercedes GP, contract that expires at the end of the 2012 F1 season.
Michael Schumacher returned last year in Formula 1 after a three years absence and signed a three year deal with Mercedes GP, saying that he has long-term plans in the second stage of his driving career.
But it seems that the deal between the two parties might extend further than 2012, as both the Mercedes GP officials and Schumacher seem pretty close to a contract extension.
Norbert Haug, the Mercedes Motorsport Department Chief, suggested that the contract extension depends only on Schumacher's will of continuing with the team. Haug said that he'd be very happy to see Schumacher commit future to Mercedes GP, "If Michael wants it [the contract extension] and we can agree on a right price [the wage]."
Michael Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, talked about the seven times F1 world champion's interest in signing a new deal. "Of course we are open to discussions, because with the team we feel very good," said Kehm.
Schumacher will be 43 years old at the time his current deal with Mercedes GP F1 Team expires at the end of 2012 F1 season.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, contact email@example.com for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

[Solved] The Dreaded IE8
I had a huge wakeup call when I realized a client was discovering in her analytics that IE8 was still being used by 50% of her Windows users (and she gets a lot of traffic).
So I've been going into all my sites, and fixing border radiuses (with PIE) and box shadows (still can't get this one all the time, but I'll make a post about it later)
One of the things I've noticed is I can't seem to float:right an image in IE-8.
Well, I guess I'm wondering....should I be using float:right to align images right and around text or something else?
Of course
works fine in IE8 (and things look good when I visit your site in IE8 too), so there must be something else going wrong there...I'm so embarrassed.
I cleared my cache a few times to see if it changed, and it did.
So sorry about that.
IE8 seems to not clear cache unless you do it several times, or maybe it's just my Virtual Box acting up on me.
Thank you so much.
This probably isn't what happened to you, but just a word of advice: careful with CSS PIE. I have used it in sites in the past and it has had the tendency to cause elements on the page to behave strangely.
As @theacefes says PIE can be somewhat troublesome. I always recommend using it only on the essentials as it does have problems with shadows, especially in responsive design.
I'd recommend using it in moderation only on bits that look broken or absolutely require gradients/radiuses. Shadows ultimately are more visual flair, if you can get away without using them make sure you do.
Keep in mind also that if you do use shadows with PIE make sure to set the background colour of the element because it will otherwise show the shadow underneath the content of the box.
Good idea. It doesn't HAVE to have rounded edges or box shadows.
Just hate how sites look on IE8 when I'm done with them.
Such a fan of not using images to make rounded edges now that CSS can handle it effectively.

Negative media on finely textured beef set a bearish tone in cattle markets last week. Cattle futures plummeted and cutouts softened to discourage packer procurement. Last week's Canfax average steer and heifer prices were $0.80 - $1.70/cwt lower than the previous week and averaged around $115/cwt. Lower bids encouraged feedlots to look for markets south of the border and a considerable number of feedlots chose to carry cattle over. A total of 11,875 head traded last week, down 17% compared to the previous week. Alberta fed cash to futures basis widened $1.00 last week. USDA reported fed cattle exports to the US for the week ending March 17th were up 3% from the previous week.
The feeder market price descent continued last week as margins remain narrow. Last week's Canfax average feeder steer price was $2.78 lower while heifers eased $2.21. The Western Canadian feeder index closed the week at $142.62/cwt, down $0.67 from the previous week. The USDA reported that Canadian feeder exports to the US for the week ending March 17th were up 14% from the previous week.
For the first time this year non-fed values were reported below year ago levels. D1, D2 cows traded $0.50/cwt lower than the previous week ranging from $71.00-83.00/cwt. D3 cows eased $0.75/cwt. lower and averaged $69.25/cwt. Butcher bulls firmed $0.60/cwt higher last week trading from $80.00-98.00/cwt. USDA reported 3,640 Canadian non-fed cattle were exported to the US for the week ending March 17th.
Bull factors
• Beef demand should see an improvement after Easter
• Significant volumes of fall fed calves will not be market ready for a few weeks
• Fed cattle exports have been higher than a year ago
Bear factors
• Negative LFTB media has adversely affected the beef and cattle market complex
• Local packers are comfortably forward bought
• Higher feed grain values are eroding feeder margins
For more detailed information on markets this week please visit the Canfax website www.canfax.ca.

Do you feel guilty buying a car you can't afford at the expense of your family?
I hope this means the Swayzle will actually spend some time bonding with his toddler and maybe even trying to patch things up with his wife.
Hey Swayze, didja get my friends request?
She said you're like a disease without any cure...
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no...
Ah, you think you're so pretty...
It's his turn with the controller, shut in.
I know you creep on women here and criticise married fathers who ARE at this very moment playing with their son (he has the controller) while you sit alone (again) on a Sunday.
You might want to ask yourself which is more sad before you start another thread posting all the women you used to fuck.

Mr. Stucker's bill [H. R. 261] to repeal Sections 4986 to 5,0l0 inclusive of the Revised Statutes of 1881, establishing a Stare Board of Health, was reported back from the Committee on Rights and Privileges with the recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed
Mr. WILSON, of Marion, thought the Board of Health an institution that ought not to be abolished. Every Nation in Europe that looks after the interests of its people sustain similar institutions. He was opposed to killing the matter without proper consideration.
Mr. HEFFREN objected to Boards of Health because of the expense it had been to the people. He considered the $5,000 appropriated, but a small part of the cost of the people of the State. He moved to lay the report of the Committee on the table.
The motion was rejected by yeas, 43; nays 49.
Mr. WILLIAM, of Knox, demanded the previous question, which was seconded by the House, and under its operations
The report of the Committee was concurred in.
Mr. HEFFREN made an ineffectual motion to reconsider the vote by which the report of the Committee was concurred in.

ANCHORAGE - Alaska has seen big changes since it became a state 50 years ago. The population has more than tripled and the ethnic backgrounds of its residents are of a wider range.
"I think Anchorage is pretty well diverse," said Darryl Crawford.
The 23-year-old Florida native has called Anchorage home for only a couple years.
"I wasn't expecting that much diversity when I moved up here two and a half years ago, and it shocked me pretty much," said Crawford. "I'm black and I am a homosexual. I don't feel any pressure or any grief from anybody about it. Nobody really comes at me wrong."
But last year, voters failed to pass Proposition 5, which would have extended the city's anti-discrimination laws to those in the LGBT community. And according to the 2010 census, more than 6 in 10 Alaskans are white.
But Anchorage is becoming more multi-ethnic and residents said it's tolerant of the diversity.
"No discrimination, I like that," said Espie Laxa, who recently moved to Anchorage from the Philippines.
In Anchorage schools, more than half of the students are not white – with the largest group being Asian or Pacific Islander.
Anchorage residents said those students are key to a tolerant society.
"I think awareness, especially at the grade school and middle school level helps a lot," said Matt Cabana.
But others like Crawford said it all comes down to each person as individuals.
"Just be yourself and there is going to be intolerant people everywhere you go," said Crawford. "The best thing I could say to anybody is don't let people change you. And look out for your community, no matter, Hispanic, white, black and be the change that you want to see."

Cool Idea: Vintage Photographs Become Art Prints
I am always drawn to the boxes of old photos at my local flea market, but after stockpiling them over the years, I have to admit that I have no idea of what to do with them. Luckily, a company called Project B does, and the results are fantastic.
The team behind Project B seeks out anonymous vintage photos and makes them available in museum-quality, limited-edition prints — essentially rescuing bits of history and bringing them back to life.
The photos are strong on their own, but since they are already curated in albums such as Inside Hollywood and Americana, it's easy to buy prints that work well together. With prices starting at $95, you are going to be tempted to stock up on a little bit of history.
Your Future Is Bryght: A New Furniture Line Is Raising the Bar
We'd all love to invest in quality furniture, but sitting down at that sleek new dining table can present some financial hurdles. Luckily, a contemporary Canadian furniture brand is setting out to change that — and at no expense to your aesthetic. By cutting out the middlemen in the industry, Bryght allows people to essentially shop directly from the factories, shedding mark-ups associated with importers, distributors, and sales people — and effectively saving them an estimated 50 percent in the process. Better yet, the brand offers a free 30-day home trial period with free shipping and returns in North America: commitment-phobes, the line starts here!
High-design and high-quality, Bryght's contemporary and transitional collection comes from top international designers who've cut their teeth at companies like Established & Sons, Habitat, and Stella McCartney. In our opinion, it competes with the Crate and Barrels and Room & Boards of the world, but see for yourself. Here are a few of our top picks from the collection.

Plates So Pretty You Will Forget Their Hidden Agenda
The intersection between healthy eating and good design has traditionally been a pretty lonely place. Tatyana Daniels Beldock, a former health care venture capitalist, set out to change that when she launched a line of plates under the name Slim & Sage. The concept is simple: since research suggests that 90 percent of weight loss is achieved simply by eating less, Tatyana worked with experts at Stanford and Harvard to come up with a plate that takes the guesswork out of portion control. Even if these plates didn't help reduce caloric intake by 59 percent(!), we would still love them — we don't think it's a coincidence that they resemble Hermès's famous Balcon du Guadalquivir pattern.
The bold geometric patterns on the plate hide the built-in grid for recommended portions: one quarter is for protein, one quarter is for whole grains, and one half is for vegetables. Made from porcelain, the plates are nice enough for company but discreet enough that guests will never guess the motive behind the pattern. We stole a minute of Tatyana's time to find out more.
POPSUGAR: What did you find when you researched why America has such a tendency to overeat?
Tatyana Daniels Beldock: Our plates have gotten out of hand. Plate sizes have been rising in the US over the last 50 years: the average plate in the 1960s was nine inches. Today it is 12! (Slim & Sage plates are 9 inches.) France, ever the throwback, measures in at just 10 inches. You may think all this expanding china has had little effect on your eating habits, but think again: a study in the journal Appetite found that people clean their plates an astonishing 91 percent of the time, no matter how much food is offered, even if they are no longer hungry. Also portions are larger in restaurants, fast-food joints, and prepackaged foods in grocery stories.
PS: That's an alarming statistic — 91 percent of the time, even if they are no longer hungry? Why do you think that it is? Some sort of primal throwback? Habit left over from our parents telling us to clean our plates?
TDB: Yes! Can you believe it? People clean their plates an astonishing 91 percent of the time, no matter how much food is offered and even if they are no longer hungry. I believe it's because we have been conditioned since childhood to clean our plates. The National Institutes of Health recommend replacing larger plates with smaller plates as a good way to combat this and trick people into eating less. "People eat what's put in front of them," they say.
PS: I think that we are all guilty of that! Why isn't this science more widely used and applied? It seems like a very straightforward, smart concept.
TDB: Often some of the best ideas make you think, "Wow — why haven't I seen this before?" I am not sure why it hasn't been done before, though. There was a study done at Google where they introduced smaller plates at their cafeterias and their employees lost an average of 10-15 pounds without even really trying.
PS: That makes it sound painless. I know that takeout is a great excuse for people to abandon portion control. When you order takeout, do you make a point to eat it on Slim & Sage plates?
TDB: Yes, absolutely.
PS: Right now the price point is about $25 per plate — do you have plans for rolling out a lower price point option? How about bowls?
TDB: Custom plates for spas and resorts are in the pipeline, and we are considering a lower price and children's line in the future.
PS: Great, we will keep on the lookout! Meanwhile, we just learned that Slim & Sage was picked up by Neiman Marcus. Congratulations!

I agree 100% with the Tolkien Estate on this one and I think they have taken the correct decision.
"Several years ago, my 1976 biography J.R.R. Tolkien, Architect of Middle Earth, about the Oxford professor who wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, went out of print. For more than three decades, the biography had gone through several editions and numerous printings, had been issued as both a hardback and mass market paperback, and had been translated into a half-dozen different languages. (Besides being the very first biography of Tolkien, its other, somewhat dubious distinction, was that shortly after the biography appeared, it became the most stolen book out of libraries!) My book enjoyed modest but consistent sales for most of its editorial lifetime, which peaked with brisk sales (and very decent royalties) with the release of Peter Jacksons trilogy of Rings movies. Then my books original publisher, Running Press, was acquired by the Perseus Books Group, which allowed a number of its older titles to go out of print. Thirty-six years in continuous publication is a damn good run. According to my original contract with Running Press, should the book go out of print, all rights would revert back to me. Which they did. Since The Hobbit movies were in production, I decided to capitalize on Tolkiens reemerging popularity by revising and expanding my original biography, which would then be reissued as an eBook. Whats more, we were going to distribute it for free, as a way of publicizing our new boutique publishing house, Pixel Hall Press. However, dont look for any re-issue of J.R.R. Tolkien, Architect of Middle Earth on Amazon or B&N or Apple, or anywhere else for that matter. You wont find it. Thats because I never finished the revision. The reason why it never got off the ground has nothing to do with laziness or writers block. Its because we couldnt risk publishing it, for free or no. Heres why." It has other somewhat dubious distinctions as well. http://www.grotta.net/blog.htm?post=899042

I'm curious as to why Grotta can't (this is then & now) just quote the text under "fair use" & be done with it. I haven't read his biography; but even at the time, his use of the Ace Books text was surely unnecessary? For a start the whole text is nearly (not bibliographically, I know) identical. And surely some of the text he quoted from the Ace edition would have been identical? i.e. indistinguishable from the authorised Ballantine or G&AU text.
That aside, why the (continued) surprise? Christopher has allowed Carpenter (regardless of who he is) access to private papers & wants an official biography. Grotta (again, regardless of whether Christopher knew him, liked him, disliked him, etc) approaches him (as Carpenter is writing his biography) asking if he can have access (to papers & the Tolkien family generally) & write a biography. Hardly surprising Christopher said no. Why would they want two biographies out at the same time? I'm totally baffled by his stance. BH

Hundreds of tons of frozen mutton, lamb and beef from New Zealand have been stranded on Chinese docks after China halted certain imports from the country due to a certification dispute.

'Trek' does $70.6M but falls short of studio hopes
8 hours ago
"Star Trek: Into Darkness" has warped its way to a $70.6 million domestic launch from Friday to Sunday, though it's not setting any light-speed records with a debut that's lower than the studio's expectations. Since premiering Wednesday in huge-screen IMAX theaters and expanding Thursday to general cinemas, "Into Darkness" has pulled in $84.1 million, well below distributor Paramount's initial forecast of $100 million. The film added $40 million overseas, pushing its total to $80.5 million since it began rolling out internationally a week earlier.
United to restart 787 flights on Monday
8 hours ago
United Airlines is getting its 787s back in the air. The planes are returning after being grounded for four months by the federal government because of smoldering batteries on 787s owned by other airlines. The incidents included an emergency landing of one plane, and a fire on another. The incidents never caused any serious injuries. But the January grounding embarrassed Boeing, which makes the 787, and disrupted schedules at the eight airlines that were flying the planes. The company had delivered 50 of the planes worldwide.
