General liability insurance is one of the most important types of insurance you can buy to protect your business. It is a broad type of coverage that provides protection against general risks. General liability coverage protects you from third-party claims made against your business, such as bodily injury and property damage. It does not cover workplace injuries sustained by your employees – those are covered under workers' compensation insurance.
Common Uses For General Liability Insurance
Common types of claims covered under general liability insurance include the following:
- Third-party bodily injury: A person who is injured on your business property, in a slip or trip and fall accident, for example, may file a claim against your company for damages. General liability insurance can help cover the damages, as well as your legal fees to help settle or defend against this type of claim in court.
- Third-party property damage: If you or one of your employees, who is on the job at the time, accidentally damages another party's property, you may face a property damage claim. General liability insurance can help cover the costs of settling or defending against the claim.
Less Common General Liability Insurance Uses
In addition to bodily injury and property damage claims against your company, general liability insurance can help protect you from claims made based on advertising practices. For example, a business in the same industry may file a claim against your company for advertising it believes is too similar to its own. This coverage can help pay your legal fees to settle or defend against the claim, in addition to a settlement or damages, if you are found liable.
Another less common use of general liability insurance is to protect your business against claims involving damaged reputation (libel or slander). This coverage can help pay the costs of resolving such a claim. In addition to a judgement or settlement, it can help cover expenses such as:
- Lawyers to represent your business
- Witness fees
- Evidence costs
How Important Is General Liability Insurance?
Although commercial general liability coverage is not required by law, it is an essential business expense. Most companies lack the wherewithal to survive a large claim against them. In today's litigious society, claims against businesses are a common occurrence, and third-party liability claims are among the most common and the costliest. Furthermore, some companies may not want to work with your business unless you have adequate general liability coverage. This is because, without it, a large liability claim could put you out of business.
Some business owners believe that having an LLC can provide protection against liability claims. This is not necessarily the case if a claim is made against the business based on negligent or irresponsible acts, knowing or unknowing illegal actions, or if personal expenses were mixed with business expenses. When a complaint is filed against an LLC, owners have to respond and hire attorneys to represent them.
Accidents can happen, and even the most honest and scrupulous business owners can make mistakes. Also, your business could be sued even if it has done nothing wrong. For these reasons, it is important to carry general liability insurance to handle potential claims against your company. Our experienced agent can help get you the best quote for the coverage you need.

Chapter 113 Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
The Forge
With matted beard, and swathed in a bristling shark-skin apron, about mid-day, Perth was standing between his forge and anvil, the latter placed upon an iron-wood log, with one hand holding a pike-head in the coals, and with the other at his forge's lungs, when Captain Ahab came along, carrying in his hand a small rusty-looking leathern bag. While yet a little distance from the forge, moody Ahab paused; till at last, Perth, withdrawing his iron from the fire, began hammering it upon the anvil- the red mass sending off the sparks in thick hovering flights, some of which flew close to Ahab.
"Are these thy Mother Carey's chickens, Perth? they are always flying in thy wake; birds of good omen, too, but not to all;- look here, they burn; but thou- thou liv'st among them without a scorch."
"Because I am scorched all over, Captain Ahab," answered Perth, resting for a moment on his hammer; "I am past scorching-, not easily can'st thou scorch a scar."
"Well, well; no more. Thy shrunk voice sounds too calmly, sanely woeful to me. In no Paradise myself, I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?- What wert thou making there?"
"Welding an old pike-head, sir; there were seams and dents in it."
"And can'st thou make it all smooth again, blacksmith, after such hard usage as it had?"
"I think so, sir."
"And I suppose thou can'st smoothe almost any seams and dents; never mind how hard the metal, blacksmith?"
"Aye, sir, I think I can; all seams and dents but one."
"Look ye here then," cried Ahab, passionately advancing, and leaning with both hands on Perth's shoulders; "look ye here- here- can ye smoothe out a seam like this, blacksmith," sweeping one hand across his ribbed brow; "if thou could'st, blacksmith, glad enough would I lay my head upon thy anvil, and feel thy heaviest hammer between my eyes. Answer! Can'st thou smoothe this seam?"
"Oh! that is the one, sir! Said I not all seams and dents but one?"
"Aye, blacksmith, it is the one; aye, man, it is unsmoothable; for though thou only see'st it here in my flesh, it has worked down into the bone of my skull- that is all wrinkles! But, away with child's play; no more gaffs and pikes to-day. Look ye here!" jingling the leathern bag, as if it were full of gold coins. "I, too, want a harpoon made; one that a thousand yoke of fiends could not part, Perth; something that will stick in a whale like his own fin-bone. There's the stuff," flinging the pouch upon the anvil. "Look ye, blacksmith, these are the gathered nail-stubbs of the steel shoes of racing horses."
"Horse-shoe stubbs, sir? Why, Captain Ahab, thou hast here, then, the best and stubbornest stuff we blacksmiths ever work."
"I know it, old man; these stubbs will weld together like glue from the melted bones of murderers. Quick! forge me the harpoon. And forge me first, twelve rods for its shank; then wind, and twist, and hammer these twelve together like the yarns and strands of a tow-line. Quick! I'll blow the fire."
When at last the twelve rods were made, Ahab tried them, one by one, by spiralling them, with his own hand, round a long, heavy iron bolt. "A flaw!" rejecting the last one. "Work that over again, Perth."
This done, Perth was about to begin welding the twelve into one, when Ahab stayed his hand, and said he would weld his own iron. As, then, regular, gasping hems, he hammered on the anvil, Perth passing to him the glowing rods, after the other, and the hard pressed forge shooting up its intense straight flame, the Parsee passed silently, and bowing over his head towards the fire, seemed invoking some curse or some blessing on the toil. But, as Ahab looked up, he slid aside.
"What's that bunch of lucifers dodging about there for?" muttered Stubb, looking on from the forecastle. "That Parsee smells fire like a fusee; and smells of it himself, like a hot musket's powder-pan."
At last the shank, in one complete rod, received its final heat; and as Perth, to temper it, plunged it all hissing into the cask of water near by, the scalding steam shot up into Ahab's bent face.
"Would'st thou brand me, Perth?" wincing for a moment with the pain; "have I been but forging my own branding-iron, then?"
"Pray God, not that; yet I fear something, Captain Ahab. Is not this harpoon for the White Whale?"
"For the white fiend! But now for the barbs; thou must make them thyself, man. Here are my razors- the best of steel; here, and make the barbs sharp as the needle-sleet of the Icy Sea."
For a moment, the old blacksmith eyed the razors as though he would fain not use them.
"Take them, man, I have no need for them; for I now neither shave, sup, nor pray till- but here- to work!"
Fashioned at last into an arrowy shape, and welded by Perth to the shank, the steel soon pointed the end of the iron; and as the blacksmith was about giving the barbs their final heat, prior to tempering them, he cried to Ahab to place the water-cask near.
"No, no- no water for that; I want it of the true death-temper. Ahoy, there! Tashtego, Queequeg, Daggoo! What say ye, pagans! Will ye give me as much blood as will cover this barb?" holding it high up. A cluster of dark nods replied, Yes. Three punctures were made in the heathen flesh, and the White Whale's barbs were then tempered.
"Ego non baptizo te in nomine patris, sed in nomine diaboli!" deliriously howled Ahab, as the malignant iron scorchingly devoured the baptismal blood.
Now, mustering the spare poles from below, and selecting one of hickory, with the bark still investing it, Ahab fitted the end to the socket of the iron. A coil of new tow-line was then unwound, and some fathoms of it taken to the windlass, and stretched to a great tension. Pressing his foot upon it, till the rope hummed like a harp-string, then eagerly bending over it, and seeing no strandings, Ahab exclaimed, "Good! and now for the seizings."
At one extremity the rope was unstranded, and the separate spread yarns were all braided and woven round the socket of the harpoon; the pole was then driven hard up into the socket; from the lower end the rope was traced halfway along the pole's length, and firmly secured so, with inter-twistings of twine. This done, pole, iron, and rope- like the Three Fates- remained inseparable, and Ahab moodily stalked away with the weapon; the sound of his ivory leg, and the sound of the hickory pole, both hollowly ringing along every plank. But ere he entered his cabin, light, unnatural, half-bantering, yet most piteous sound was heard. Oh! Pip, thy wretched laugh, thy idle but unresting eye; all thy strange mummeries not unmeaningly blended with the black tragedy of the melancholy ship, and mocked it!

Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home.
This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the "complicated" hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before.
Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson's Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes Homer's music; matching the number of lines in the Greek original, the poem sails along at Homer's swift, smooth pace.
A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem's major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this is an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.

Floyd Clymer was a pioneer in the sport of motorcycling. He was a racer, a motorcycle dealer and distributor, a magazine publisher, a racing promoter, an author and a motorcycle manufacturer.
A colorful personality, Clymer's life story could fill volumes. He was famous throughout the United States in the 1910s as the youngest dealer in the country. He became interested in motorcycling and went on to become one of the leading racers in the country during the 1910s and '20s.
Clymer then moved into publishing. He wrote books and magazines on both automobiles and motorcycles, owned Cycle magazine for a time and became a leader in that field. Clymer also promoted dozens of AMA national motorcycle races and he single-handedly tried to revive the Indian motorcycle brand during the 1960s, overseeing the manufacture of several different motorcycles that bore the Indian name.
The son of a country doctor, Clymer was born in Indianapolis on October 26, 1895 and grew up in Berthoud, Colorado. He showed great ambition from an early age. Many articles were written about the boy auto-salesman from Greeley, Colorado, the 13-year-old Clymer who was the youngest Ford dealer in the country.
Clymer also became interested in motorcycles. As a teenager Clymer became an excellent rider. By the mid-1910s, he was occasionally entering races and he opened a Harley-Davidson and Excelsior dealership in Greeley.
Clymer first made a name for himself in racing circles in 1916, when he led a large portion of the famous Dodge City 300 on a factory Harley-Davidson. He was the fastest rider all day at Dodge City, but his bike broke after 110 laps of the 150-lap race. Clymer solidified his racing reputation by winning the famous Pikes Peak hillclimb aboard an Excelsior. Just making it to the top of the hill was considered quite an accomplishment for a motorcyclist. Prevailing opinion at the time (especially among the automobile racers) was that a motorcycle would not make it above the timberline. Clymer went on to win the national sidecar championship in 1920 and later earned numerous national hillclimbing titles throughout the 1920s.
Ever the promoter, Clymer garnered great exposure for his dealerships by setting city-to-city records on motorcycles during business trips, even though other record-setters never seriously pursued many of Clymer's city-to-city routes. A classic example of this was his 1920 Chicago-to-Denver record of 63 hours.
Clymer also thought of innovative ways to market motorcycles. He began setting up booths at farm and ranch shows, showing a variety of uses for motorcycles in agriculture. Clymer promoted motorcycles as a practical vehicle to area police departments, newspapers, and delivery companies.
By the late-1910s Clymer had entered the publishing business with his Motorcycle Topics magazine. His involvement in publishing would continue for the rest of his life.
Clymer ran into problems with the law in the late 1920s when one of his operations was charged with mail fraud. He was convicted, but was given the opportunity to avoid jail time if he pled guilty and made restitutions to the wronged parties. Clymer refused, claiming his innocence. He appealed the case, lost and spent just over a year in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Clymer was a model prisoner and was reportedly even permitted to leave prison to participate in local races.
Clymer showed his resilience after getting out of prison. He moved to Los Angeles and took over the West Coast Indian distributorship from Al Crocker, who was concentrating on manufacturing his short-track (Speedway) racing machines. Ironically, Clymer established a successful mail order parts business. He also began promoting races during this time and helped revive the Trailblazers Motorcycle Club. Clymer tried to revive the classic Dodge City races of the 1910s and '20s. Two races were held (100 miles in length) at Dodge City in the early 1950s, but attendance was poor and the race was again discontinued.
Clymer loved Hollywood and helped promote motorcycling in the 1930s by loaning bikes to the movie studios for use in movies. Clymer also arranged to have movie stars receive bikes on loan from Indian in exchange for the company using publicity shots of the stars on its bikes for advertising.
Clymer helped launch the racing career of Ed Kretz. He gave Kretz a job at his shop so he could have time off to go to races across the country and later convinced Indian to hire Kretz as a factory rider.
When Indian's fortunes took a turn for the worse in the early 1950s, it was Clymer, along with a few other Indian loyalists, who stepped up and offered financial assistance to keep the company going. Even though the company ceased production in 1953, Clymer continued for years to try to revive Indian. He purchased the rights to the name and attempted to market several foreign-made motorcycles under the Indian name without success.
In 1951, Clymer purchased the fledgling Cycle magazine from Petersen Publishing. Clymer's journalistic style was later summed up by a phrase in a later anniversary issue of Cycle, "Clymer never met a motorcycle he didn't like." He always emphasized the positive aspects of motorcycling in his publications and shied away from critical testing reviews of motorcycles, which was becoming the style of writing that the public demanded during the 1960s. Clymer owned Cycle until 1966 when he sold the publication to the New York-based Ziff-Davis Publications.
Immediately after selling Cycle, Clymer tried to generate interest in the ill fated, German-made Munch Mammoth. This huge motorcycle featured a 1300cc engine developed for an automobile. While the most powerful motorcycle of its time, the Mammoth, largely due to its expensive $4000 price tag, never caught on, although it remains an interesting motorcycle that was considered ahead of its time.
Clymer spent his latter years trying in vain to revive the Indian. At first he fitted Indian nameplates to 500cc single-cylinder Velocette-based machines. He later spent a quarter-of-a-million dollars to have a prototype Indian built based closely on the original V-Twin design. That machine never made it to market.
Clymer died of a heart attack while working at his home office on January 23, 1970. Wife Merle and two children by a former marriage, Robert and Mildred, survived him. His involvement in motorcycling had spanned over 50 years. He will always be remembered as an innovator and tireless promoter of motorcycling.

If you're a regular around here, a friend or family member of ours, or have a vague sense of who I am, you know that I love wine. Hmm, love might not be a strong enough word. Maybe LOVE is better. We've expressed this affinity towards wine (and the Napa Valley wine country) through a series of posts.
Well, we're back at it, but this time we're doing it in the name of the Pinterest Challenge.
If you're not familiar, the Pinterest Challenge is being hosted by Sherri & John at Young House Love, Katie at BowerPower, Erin at Hi Sugarplum, and Cassie at the Great Indoors. The goal is simple -- take something you've pinned that you find inspirational, do your own version, and put your own spin on it. Easy enough, right? Well, have you see how many cool and inspirational things there are on Pinterest? Just picking one thing to make might actually be the hardest thing about the challenge.
Over the past few months I've been pinning things with a wine bar/wine country feel to it on a pin board called "Cheers". (If you're not already following us on Pinterest, what are you waiting for? We have a ton of cool stuff we've shared.) It's my dream to have a functional and cool wine bar to entertain people and share a little wine with some friends. During my Pinterest perusing, one of the things that repeatedly caught my eye was the creative use of empty wine bottles.
In my opinion, wine bottles are quite elegant as far as containers go. Their shape, color, size, and look evoke memories of vacations, celebrations, fun times of the past, and good times to come. But after they're spent, I always feel a little bad throwing them in the recycling bin, especially the special bottles whose corks were popped for celebratory reasons.
Though I absolutely loved the bottles I saw on Pinterest, and love love love the majority of the things in the Napa Style catalog (and I also love chef Michael Chiarello, but that's a different story), there were two major issues. The following pinned photo is originally from the catalog pages of Napa Style.
The first, size. The bottles Napa Style is selling start at the three liter sizes and go all the way up to six liters. Six! Our house is tiny, I can't imagine where a giant bottle like that would even fit without looking ridiculous.
The second issue is price. Starting at $99 and topping out at $249, these bottles, though very pretty, are well outside of my price range for used bottles. Call me crazy, but my preference on price is "free" or perhaps $0.05 cents in Michigan.
Rather than order large and expensive bottles, we set out to turn a few of our own smaller wine bottles into creative candle holders that could adorn our future wine bar or our outside entertaining area.
We started our project with two bottles, one standard 750ml wine bottle and one 750ml sparkling wine (champagne style) bottle. The goal was simple -- cut the bottom of the bottle off without shattering it into pieces and maiming ourselves. Though the bottles were full, we took it upon ourselves to drink them...in the name and spirit of the Pinterest Challenge.
We had seen methods to cut bottles that included everything from scoring the bottles with a glass cutter to heating them with a blow torch and dipping them into a cold bucket of water, but all seemed less than exact and a little dangerous. For our project we decided to give the good ole wet saw a try. We did quite a bit of looking online but couldn't find definitive proof that a wet saw would do the job we wanted it to, so we figured we should figure it for ourselves.
The fist step was to set the fence on the wet saw to give us a good guide to rest the bottom of the bottle on. Our approach was to begin cutting the bottle and then slowly rotate it into the blade. The blade would take a little bit at a time from the bottle until it just dropped off...or at least that was the plan.
I love it when a plan comes together. It was a success, and at long last, here's the actual video evidence that it is possible to use a standard wet tile saw to cut a glass wine bottle.
I hope it goes without saying, but be sure to wear your eye protection when working with tools like this.
As you can see, you just need to take it slowly, rotate the bottle as evenly as possible, and you can easily remove the bottom from a wine bottle. Once the bottom is cut free, there's going to be a good amount of glass residue still inside the bottle. Using a bucket of water, simply rinse out the inside of the bottle so you don't end up getting any glass pieces on your hands.
Because of the shape of the bottle there was a small bit of a glass bump left on the cut line. We used a tile file to shave it down a bit and were left with a nice and smooth cut line that wasn't sharp or dangerous.
Next we let the bottles soak in the bucket of water in order to loosen the labels.
After a quick wash and thorough dry, we were in business.
With our bottles ready, we set them on our dining room buffet with small candles.
We breathed a sigh of relief, figuring that the hard part was over and now all we had to do is set the bottles over the candles.
Wait a second, not so fast.
After lighting the candles and putting the bottles over them we hit our first small speed bump with the project. To this point we've only seen this type of thing with much larger format bottles, like the 3+ liter bottles. It seems the necks on the large format bottles are large enough to let the heat of the flames out while allowing fresh air in for the flame (remember, fire needs oxygen). However, these 750ml bottles have a bit more difficult time letting the candle breathe, causing the flame to go out after about 30 seconds.
We solved this by allowing the back of the bottle to sit just off of a coaster it was sitting on, allowing air to circulate. Once this was done the candles stayed lit without issue. I also think this will work well on our slatted outdoor table, or in a garden where the ground the bottle is sitting on is uneven.
You don't need much of an air gap at all to make it work. Making a quick and easy base with two pieces of 1/4" thick wood will also solve the problem. It would elevate the bottle enough and allow air in between the two pieces of material.
These bottles will also make excellent candle holders outdoors on breezy nights, the flame fully protected from the weather to ensure it won't go out.
One final step we took to put our little twist on the project was to personalize the bottles using a Posterpaint Sharpie. Depending on the occasion, you could write a message on the bottles.
These can be anything from wine inspired greetings to a note about a celebration associated with the given bottle. You can use them to denote what is being served from a table, as seating cards, or just as a way to spice up a gathering. And best of all, you can wipe the messages off and alter them to your heart's content.
So there you have it, our Pinterest and Napa Style inspired "wine bottle candle holders." Overall, a project that was not too difficult, quite inexpensive (I'll actually go ahead and say "Free" since we already had all items on hand), and one that will work well for a variety of events and settings. I just can't wait until the weather starts to get nice and we can have people over for a wine evening in our garden. Maybe we'll make a large collection of these candle holders in various sizes and colors and decorate our back yard and patio with them. I'm not sure what I like better, the end result or the journey to consume the necessary amount of wine to make the project a reality.
And in case you're wondering, the wet saw does a pretty good job of cutting, but it doesn't leave a nice and finished edge (at least not with our blade). So you really couldn't use it to create wine bottle drinking glasses without a bit of grinding and polishing.
So what do you think of our wine bottle candle holders? Not too shabby of a little project. And best of all, we're reusing something that would otherwise be a recyclable!
Are you currently inspired by anything on Pinterest that you absolutely need to try for yourself? Maybe you're even taking part in this very same Pinterest Challenge? Share some of your ideas and likes with us, we'd love to see what you're working on.
We are using the wine bottles to make centerpieces for a wedding. When we tried the candle it caused the bottle to get VERY hot. Do you typically use real candles? if so, how do you keep the bottle from getting too hot and breaking?

WASHINGTON (AP) — A state's voters are free to outlaw the use of race as a factor in college admissions, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a blow to affirmative action that also laid bare tensions among the justices about a continuing need for programs that address racial inequality in America.
The 6-2 decision upheld a voter-approved change to the Michigan Constitution that forbids the state's public colleges to take race into account. That change was indeed up to the voters, the ruling said, over one justice's impassioned dissent that accused the court of simply wanting to wish away inequality.
The ruling bolsters similar voter-approved initiatives banning affirmative action in education in California and Washington state. A few other states have adopted laws or issued executive orders to bar race-conscious admissions policies.
Justice Anthony Kennedy said voters in Michigan chose to eliminate racial preferences, presumably because such a system could give rise to race-based resentment. Kennedy said nothing in the Constitution or the court's prior cases gives judges the authority to undermine the election results.
"This case is not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it," Kennedy said.
He stressed that the court was not disturbing the holding of a 2003 case from Michigan —which gave rise to the 2006 Constitution change — permitting the consideration of race in admissions. A Texas affirmative action case decided in June also did nothing to undermine that principle, Kennedy said.
In a separate opinion siding with Kennedy, Justice Antonin Scalia said Michigan residents favored a colorblind constitution and "it would be shameful for us to stand in their way."
Strongly dissenting from the majority, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the decision trampled on the rights of minorities, even though the Michigan amendment was adopted democratically.
"But without checks, democratically approved legislation can oppress minority groups," said Sotomayor, who read her dissent aloud in the courtroom Tuesday. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sided with Sotomayor.
Michigan voters "changed the basic rules of the political process in that state in a manner that uniquely disadvantaged racial minorities," Sotomayor said.
Judges "ought not sit back and wish away, rather than confront, the racial inequality that exists in our society," she said. She is one of two justices, along with Clarence Thomas, who have acknowledged that affirmative action was a factor in their college and law school admissions. Sotomayor attended Princeton University and Thomas is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross. They both attended law school at Yale University. Thomas is a staunch opponent of racial preferences.
At 58 pages, Sotomayor's dissent was longer than the combined length of the four opinions in support of the outcome.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Scalia and Thomas agreed with Kennedy.
Responding to Sotomayor, Roberts said it "does more harm than good to question the openness and candor of those on either side of the debate."
Justice Elena Kagan did not take part in the case, presumably because she worked on it at an earlier stage while serving in the Justice Department.
University of Notre Dame law professor Jennifer Mason McAward said the opinions by five justices point "to a much more nuanced and heated debate among the justices regarding the permissibility and wisdom of racial preferences in general."
In 2003, the Supreme Court upheld the consideration of race among many factors in college admissions in a case from Michigan.
Three years later, affirmative action opponents persuaded Michigan voters to change the state constitution to outlaw any consideration of race.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the issue was not affirmative action, but the way in which its opponents went about trying to bar it.
In its 8-7 decision, the appeals court said the provision ran afoul of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment because it presented an extraordinary burden to affirmative action supporters who would have to mount their own campaign to repeal the constitutional provision. The Supreme Court said the appeals court judges were wrong to set aside the change as discriminatory.
But Sotomayor took up their line of reasoning in her dissent. She said University of Michigan alumni are free to lobby the state Board of Regents to admit more alumni children, but that the regents now are powerless to do anything about race-sensitive admissions.
Breyer parted company with other liberal justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg, voting to uphold the Michigan ban because it effectively took power from faculty members at the state colleges and gave it to the voters, "from an unelected administrative body to a politically responsive one." Unlike the conservative justices whom he joined Tuesday, Breyer said he continues to favor "race-conscious programs" in education.
Black and Latino enrollment at the University of Michigan has dropped since the ban took effect. At California's top public universities, African-Americans are a smaller share of incoming freshmen, while Latino enrollment is up slightly, but far below the state's growth in the percentage of Latino high school graduates.
The case was the court's second involving affirmative action in as many years. Last June, the justices ordered lower courts to take another look at the University of Texas admissions plan in a ruling that could make it harder for public colleges to justify any use of race in admissions.
Tuesday's case is Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, 12-682.

Today in Masonic History Matthew Calbraith Perry passes away in 1858.
Matthew Calbraith Perry was an American naval officer.
Perry was born April 10th, 1794. Born in Rhode Island, he is the younger brother of Oliver Hazard Perry.
Perry's early career involved events leading up to the War of 1812. Prior to the war, Perry served on several ships on Lake Erie. At the beginning of the war, Perry was the aide to Commodore John Rodgers who fired the shot starting the war of 1812.
After the war Perry served in a variety of areas around the world. One mission took him to Russia where he was offered a commission in the Russian Navy. He declined the offer.
In 1839, Perry took command of the USS Fulton, the second steam powered vessel in the American fleet. He helped to create the curriculum for the United States Naval Academy. He also was a very vocal advocate for modernizing the Navy. All this led to Perry receiving the nickname "The father of the Steam Navy".
In 1840, Perry received a promotion to Commodore. At the time in the United States Navy, the highest rank was Captain, commodore being a title given to those who were in charge of a squadron. The officer reverted back to his original rank once his tour was over. Despite this protocol, many retained the title of commodore for life, Perry was no exception.
In 1845, Perry assumed command of the Home Squadron. The Home Squadron was responsible for patrolling American coastal waters, similar to the United States Coast Guard today. Perry led the squadron in the Mexican-American war.
In 1852, Perry headed to Japan along with several ships under his command. The purpose of Perry's expedition was to establish trade with Japan, a then isolationist country. Perry spent many long hours preparing for his first encounter with Japanese diplomats. On Perry's arrival in Japan, he was ordered leave, Perry insisted he travel to Edo. When pulling into Edo, he ordered ships guns be trained on a nearby village. After other intimidating techniques, all of which Perry had learned through his study of the available material on Japan, Perry was permitted to deliver the letter from President Millard Fillmore. Perry promised to return for an answer.
In 1854, Perry returned to Japan to discover the delegation he was dealing with had agreed to all of the President's demands.
In 1855, Perry returned to the United States and began working on his memoirs of his expedition. He completed his memoirs just months before his death on March 4th, 1858.
Perry was a member of Holland Lodge No. 8 in New York City, New York.

Most of the time when I submit my work to a client, it is accepted the first time. There are times, though, when I have a run where several pieces are sent back. During these times, I start to wonder about the quality of the work that I do and I feel a bit insecure about continuing to do work for clients.
What would you suggest?
Dear R.J.,
I think that to be involved in creative work always involves a certain amount of insecurity. You can't just show up and expect to get paid; instead, you have to not only produce quality work, but it has to be reviewed and accepted before you receive any money. There are times when it can be stressful – especially when you get a number of requests for revisions in a row.
If you are able to separate your self from your work it can be easier to deal with these situations. Yes, you put part of yourself into what you write (which is why you are good at what you do), but when a client asks for a change he or she is not rejecting you. It's about the work, and the client has the right to get what he or she wants.
Everyone gets these requests, and in some cases there is more than one round of edits. You may have produced the work, but the request to make changes isn't about you. As long as you have followed the instructions properly, just put it down to part of the job and make the changes the client has asked for.
Get up and stretch, take a walk, and then come back to work on the revisions. You will have a better perspective on the assignment by taking a break first.

Quartz movement just means 'battery powered'. Unlike mechanical 1-day and 8-day clocks, a quartz movement clock doesn't need to be manually wound and instead will always work until the battery runs out (on most models it takes roughly one year for the battery to drain although this can differ depending on the model). The quartz power runs the time-keeping as well as the cuckoo bird sound/movement. On some models it also powers the movement of dancers, music, water wheel, and other animations etc. We generally recommend quartz movement cuckoo clocks for people who might forget to wind their clocks or who want a hassle free option.
Most cuckoo clocks (either mechanical or battery powered) come with 'night-time shutoff' in either a manual or 'light sensor' variety. This just means that both varieties enable you to control when the clock makes sounds.
Mechanical cuckoo clocks have a manual 'night-time shutoff' which are usually a lever with 2 positions - sound on or sound off.
Battery powered cuckoo clocks usually come with an automatic 'night-time shutoff' otherwise known as a light sensor which detects light levels and disables sound when the lights are off or it is very dark. While some include volume levels as well as sound on/off positions, some models also include an option to stop the sound between the hours of 9:00pm and 8:00am.
Brand: Engstler
Model ID: engstler-40510-Q
Estimated Delivery Time: This clock will be sent directly to your delivery address from the clockmakers workshop in Germany. Subject to availability, build completion time, and border customs times, the delivery day is approximately between July 31 and August 04 for all UK and mainland Europe customers.
IMPORT COSTS: Cuckoo Collections is proud to announce that we will pay for ALL customs charges or Import VAT costs for our UK customers. We don't want our UK customers being surprised by any additional charges (that are due to the Brexit). Therefore, if you are notified of any customs charges then please let us know. We will organise to have these paid or the amounts refunded back to you.
This beautiful battery-powered table cuckoo clock is crafted by the 'Engstler' cuckoo clock company who is a renowned Black Forest cuckoo clockmaker in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany.
Like many cuckoo clocks from Germany, the chalet-style is based on the 'Black Forest chalet'. These types of traditional houses were common to the Black Forest region in Germany and traditionally built of wood and stone. This makes them a favourite theme for many cuckoo clockmakers, who adorn them with wooden hand-painted decorations such as pine trees, cheerful animals, log piles, mill-wheels and other delightfully iconic ornaments and characters of the region.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail on this decorative chalet cuckoo clock is certain to impress. Perfectly suited in any room or space with natural wood features or spaces with a rustic or 'down-to-earth' decor, a cherished cuckoo clock makes for a unique and unforgettable gift for yourself or a loved one - its daily cuckoo chime is a friendly reminder of the beauty in the natural world, of clear sparkling brooks, of pine-covered mountains.
This cuckoo clock does not need to be manually wound because it is battery powered. Upon each hour the little cuckoo bird peeps out from its door and sings in the hour with a 'cuckoo' call corresponding with the time. This cuckoo clock also features an automatic night-time shut-off which works via a light sensor and shuts the sound off when the room is dark.
The majority of this cuckoo clock, including the outside of the clock and all of the finer details/elements of the clock, are constructed with wood (either painted or varnished). This includes a wooden dial, wooden clock hands, and wooden pendulum. However the cuckoo bird and its moving wings is made of plastic and the cuckoo door is also plastic, although it is wood-like in appearance. The clocks chains are metal, but the weights are made of moulded plastic that are painted to look like realistic cast iron weights. The dimensions listed below refer only to the clock without pendulum and weights however, as its weights are purely decorative, they do not add much extra height.
All Engstler cuckoo clocks are crafted in the Black Forest region, Germany with locally sourced materials from the Black Forest. All the hand-crafted elements are made following the centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship in the region. All mechanical elements of each clock are thoroughly tested before they leave the workshop.
We have a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee on all of our cuckoo clocks and each Engstler cuckoo clock comes with a 2-year store warranty.

ยกระดับเครือข่าย Alicante
ผลิตภัณฑ์ โซลูชั่น และบริการสำหรับองค์กรธุรกิจ
The Diputación de Alicante is a public institution that serves Alicante's citizens and maintains responsibility for all government business in the province of Alicante. The institution manages the census application system, accounting management system, employee presence control system, asset control system, the "council in the cloud" project, as well as virtualization of servers, and maintenance of personal computers for the councils. Diputación de Alicante includes 101 councils that covers 20,000 citizens. It also has 45 branches, 500 Virtual Machines (VMs), 400 websites, and 100 domains. Diputación de Alicante provides a variety of services that includes applications that manage the council's budget over websites or Citrix, plus other services such as email, Domain Name Service (DNS), and file servers. The institution must monitor all systems, check network connectivity, and avert IP system attacks.
The Alicante e-Government network had been in use for 10 years. The aged network could not meet service development requirements and the warranty was about to expire.
With the use of IT becoming more common, the municipal government was dedicated to improving social administration and public services with new technologies. The live network could not meet service development requirements. For example, the demands for cloud applications and Voice over IP (VoIP) services continued to grow. Therefore, the network bandwidth needed an upgrade.
The wireless office had become part of daily work routines. Unified authentication and authentication for data security is difficult to ensure.
The mobile office increased in popularity among government office personnel for service management. An influx of smart devices slowed the existing mobile network's performance. In addition, unified authentication and network automation could not be implemented on the live network, which caused data security risks. Therefore, performance upgrades and wireless network reconstruction were critical requirements.
IT and IP systems were managed and maintained separately, which complicated Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and hindered the implementation of network automation.
Huawei helped the Alicante government build efficient, unified campus office and data center networks. These new networks used the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture and leveraged an Agile Controller to implement end-to-end management and configuration automation. As a result, IT and IP systems could interconnect to ensure fast new service rollouts.
Huawei's innovative technologies use the Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) protocol to access storage. Huawei's switches offer faster speeds than those from other vendors.
The newly constructed e-Government network has shown considerable improvements in service convenience and O&M efficiency. Employees' work has become more flexible and efficient, while citizens appreciate the improved services. Specific benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

Network Effects: The Virtues of Telecom Regulation
A strong, competitive telecom market plays a crucial role in promoting a country's overall economic development -- but the government must first institute intelligent regulatory policies and practices.
There is a school of thought, prevalent in certain parts of Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, that says the only good regulation is no regulation. That may be true for some highly developed nations in certain advanced markets with reasonably self-regulating players. But under many circumstances, and especially for developing nations, unregulated markets simply won't work. Indeed, poor regulation — or no regulation — can be downright detrimental, both to the growth of the particular market and to the country's overall economic growth.
This is particularly true in the telecom arena, which has the potential to significantly stimulate a country's overall economic growth — but only if the liberalization of its telecom sector is promoted thoughtfully. Why telecom? Because a strong telecom industry brings with it a wide range of beneficial "network effects": Disparate markets are connected, making it easier to share knowledge, and labor productivity is increased. Numerous studies have shown that a properly regulated, competitive telecom market can increase revenues for telecom players and boost foreign investment and promote technological innovation in the sector, which ultimately benefits a country's entire economy.
A study published in the journal Telecommunications Policy found that a fully competitive telecom sector's contribution to its country's overall economy can be as high as 3.38 percent of GDP, compared with just 2.33 percent in monopoly markets. And research by the World Bank published in 2002 found that lowering telecom costs by 10 percent in a particular market can increase trade by 8 percent.
Given the benefits of well-coordinated regulation, it is incumbent on a country's government to work to put together a package of policies and regulatory mechanisms that can effectively promote telecom within its borders and leverage the virtues of a strong telecom sector throughout the economy. What, specifically, is the government's role in this process? To operate at the highest, policy-making level to promote the development of the sector, the national economy, and society as a whole. That means establishing the sector's primary objectives, enacting telecom laws and statutes, and ensuring that sector-specific policy concerns stay in line with other national policy issues such as trade and the environment. And it means establishing the regulatory body that will actually determine and carry out regulations, and cooperating with industry players in developing policy.
To that end, the first order of business for the government in developing a successful national telecom policy is to stay out of regulatory implementation and instead set up an independent body to carry out regulatory policy. It should be independent not just institutionally but on several other fronts as well: The government must allow it independence from political influence by giving it a distinct legal mandate, appointing regulators for fixed periods, and protecting them from arbitrary removal. The entity must remain independent financially through an adequate, reliable source of funding and the legal means to fund itself. Finally, it must remain independent commercially by maintaining a high degree of transparency in the appointment and functions of regulators and board members. Together, such policies will boost the credibility, transparency, and long-term sustainability of the regulatory body, thus making the sector that much more attractive to potential investors.
Second, the government must set policies that reduce its degree of ownership in the telecom sector's incumbent players. Curtailing the level of government ownership has been shown to increase foreign investment and encourage new entrants. Not that the government will have a smaller role to play in the sector — it must continue working with regulators and industry players to create a strong, competitive market.
Third, the government needs to establish guidelines for the financial obligations of telecom operators, removing such onerous payments as the royalties some governments still demand from telecom operators, but maintaining corporate taxes at levels that will sustain the government's regulatory efforts, research programs, and Universal Service Funds for promoting telecom service in rural and less-developed parts of the country. Reducing such payments will, in the long run, boost innovation by encouraging industry players to reinvest at higher rates and new players to enter the market.
Few areas could benefit more from liberalized telecom regulation than the so-called MENA region — the Middle East and North Africa. The region's telecom development lags other parts of the world in several critical areas: Foreign direct investment in telecom amounted to just 0.07 percent of regional GDP, compared with 0.47 percent for Latin American and the Caribbean, according to the World Bank. Furthermore, telecom revenues contribute just 2.1 percent to the region's GDP, compared with 3.5 percent for the world as a whole. And just 0.8 percent of the population is signed up for broadband, compared to 4.2 percent worldwide.
There are a few small indications that telecom liberalization will soon have an impact on the MENA region. In Jordan, for example, where the telecom market is now fully open to competition, mobile penetration has grown from 2.5 percent of households in 1999 (when the cell phone market was still a monopoly); to 23 percent in 2002 (when it was a duopoly); to 60 percent in 2006, as a fourth operator entered the fray. Not surprisingly, Jordan's GDP growth topped 6 percent last year. And in Morocco, mobile phones are used by 40 percent of the population now, compared with only 1.3 percent in 1999, because of reforms such as the creation of an independent regulator, the opening of certain market segments, and the privatization of the incumbent telecom operator. Partly due to this trend, Morocco's GDP was up 7.3 percent in 2006.
Eventually, intelligent liberalization of telecom regulation would benefit every country throughout the MENA region, promoting competition, improving technology, and lowering costs. Better yet, consistent regulatory policy throughout the region would boost its overall economic development, thanks to the virtuous "network effects" of telecom as it reaches beyond each country's national borders.

Confirmation Deposit
To proceed to your booking, you only need to pay a confirmation deposit of 20%, you can pay with your credit card thanks to Stripe or to PayPal secured payment systems. We also accepts Bitcoin and altcoins such as Litecoin and Ethereum. You will have to settle the remaining balance in Philippine Pesos in Palawan upon receiving the vehicle.
Private Driver Option
You have the option to hire a driver to drive the Ford Ranger for you. The cost for this option is only an additional P900/day. You will not have to pay for the food of the driver or for an accommodation. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any inquiries about hiring a personal driver during your car rental.

Georg Jensen
( 1866 - 1935 )
Georg Jensen, (born August 31, 1866, Raadvad, Denmark—died October 2, 1935, Copenhagen), Danish silversmith and designer who achieved international prominence for his commercial application of modern metal design. The simple elegance of his works and their emphasis on fine craftsmanship, hallmarks of Jensen's products, are recognized around the world. Jensen was apprenticed to a goldsmith at age 14. His artistic talents were briefly focused on sculpture, but he returned to metalwork, primarily jewelry and silver pieces, produced in the workshop he opened in Copenhagen in 1904. Jensen exhibited his works at several major foreign exhibitions (winning a gold medal at the Brussels Exhibition of 1910) and quickly built a reputation as an outstanding and highly original silversmith. He moved to a larger workshop in 1912 and acquired his first factory building in 1919. Jensen's silverware achieved immediate popularity and commercial success. He was, in fact, the first silvermaker to realize a profit from the manufacture of modern silver. Until Jensen's time virtually all successful silverware producers had relied on a standard repertory of popular traditional designs. Jensen, however, found that the market for his sleek, simple pieces was larger than anyone had predicted. His firm grew rapidly, expanding throughout Europe and opening branches in London and New York City. On both continents Jensen's work set trends for contemporary tableware. He was among the first designers to fashion steel—formerly considered fit only for low-quality, inexpensive flatware—into handsome, serviceable cutlery. By 1935 the firm had branches all over the world and carried more than 3,000 patterns in open stock. Out of fairness to his customers, Jensen refused to discontinue old patterns, a practice common among manufacturers of fine silver and tableware. After his death the business was carried on by his son, Søren Georg Jensen. In 1973 the company became part of the Royal Scandinavia Group.

LOS ANGELES – Carol Burnett is so glad we had this time together, as she sang in her signature song. Now, she's added a lot more time, and a lot more songs, to be glad about.
Since its original run from 1967 to 1978, most viewers have only seen heavily chopped versions of "The Carol Burnett Show," and many fans had no idea that singing and dancing were an essential part of a series that was actually more classic variety show than modern comedy sketch show.
Recommended Videos
"What we were doing in essence was kind of like a Broadway musical revue every week, kind of like vaudeville, with sketches and then musical numbers. And of course in television the "v" of vaudeville became the "v" of variety show," Burnett told The Associated Press this week. "The problem was, when we went into syndication all those years ago, they cut it down to a half hour, and all the music was cut out."
But now, 65 episodes drawn from the show's 11 seasons on CBS, which brought it 25 Emmy Awards, have been revived and expanded, most to their original hour length under the title "The Best of The Carol Burnett Show," and can be seen streaming for the first time on services including Tubi and The Roku Channel.
Along with its guest star, each show typically had a musical guest, who would perform in a simple setting early in the show then sing and dance in a big, costumed, Broadway-style finale at the end alongside Burnett and often singing co-stars Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner.
It was on Broadway that Burnett, now 87, had her breakout role at age 26 in 1959, singing in the musical fairytale spoof, "Once Upon a Mattress."
"My first love was musical comedy," Burnett said. "I wanted to be on Broadway, so I was always singing loud, like Ethel Merman. Then what was great fun was that when I got my own show, I got to do some of that."
Merman would be among the show's musical guests, as would Ray Charles, Bing Crosby, Helen Reddy and the Jackson 5.
One restored episode from the show's first season ends with Burnett, Lawrence, comic Phyllis Diller and dancer Gwen Verdon wearing psychedelic "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" regalia and singing a medley of songs from the Beatles album the year it was released.
Burnett liked to stick musicians into sketches too, as she did when she gave Charles a rare acting gig as a bar piano player talking to a sad drinker played by Burnett. He was delighted to do it, telling Burnett, "Nobody ever asks me to do stuff like this."
There are also lost sketches in the expanded episodes, which Burnett brought back along with distributor Time Life, with more comedy from the show's classic core cast of Burnett, Waggoner, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway and Lawrence, who was just 18 in the first episodes.
"They would never let me hire Vicki now," Burnett said. "Just 18, with no experience? No way."
Burnett and Lawrence remain close.
"We're in touch, we talked yesterday on her anniversary, she's been married 46 years. She married our makeup man," Burnett said. "It's hard to believe, she was such a kid when we hired her."
The expanded shows also stand as a tribute to the members of the cast who have died, a couple very recently. Korman died in 2008, Conway died last year, and Waggoner died in March.
"It's just me and Vicki now," Burnett said with a sigh. "We miss our gang."

There is no day so awful that 90 minutes of karate practice can't turn it around. I have proved this time and again.
Last night at karate…
Last night at karate, Lex got his green belt, BK got his yellow belt, and I got a "perfect" from my Sensei on my tournament kata. #winning
Coffee with salt in it (instead of sugar) tastes JUST like Pacific Ocean water. In other news, I'm off to brush my teeth. And homesick for California.
Impending Anniversary
Me: Hey kids, it's your father's and my 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday.
Kid one: I know. Good job, you two!
Kid two: Yeah! Thanks!
Meanwhile, in my Digital World
Me: look at all of my cats!
Hub: there should be a lady with crazy hair peering at them.
Me: that's me, honey.
Love you, Grandma
Today is the day that my grandma died, 16 years ago. It is totally like her to have died on Leap Year's Day, so we'd only be sad about it every four years. Miss you, Grandma. Wish you could've met my amazing husband and wonderful children. xo.
p.s. they all love your pancake recipe. attached here to ensure her enduring legacy.
p.s.s. Start w. 1/2 C milk, add more after adding dry ingredients if you need to. ~3 TB butter. Cook at med-high, lower if too hot (I tend to lower the stove heat with each batch so they don't over-brown). These are delicious for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, work great with some blueberries thrown in (I add them once I've put the batter in the pan), and the raw batter is a singular pleasure if you don't mind the risk of salmonella.
Falling Apart (literally)
Just reached into my mouth to get a piece of food out of my back molar and pulled out a big hunk of old filling instead. #verybadweek
If wishes were horses
Wish my life were as tidy as those I see pictured on holiday cards at the pediatrician's office….

"John Milius's jingoistic direction and pulpy screenplay fit perfectly into this film version of the Robert E. Howard fantasy story of the sword and sorcery hero, Conan the Barbarian. The story begins when a horde of rampaging warriors massacre the parents of young Conan and enslave the young child for years on The Wheel of Pain. As the sole survivor of the childhood massacre, Conan is released from slavery and taught the ancient arts of fighting. Transforming himself into a killing machine, Conan travels into the wilderness to seek vengeance on Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), the man responsible for killing his family. In the wilderness, Conan takes up with the thieves Valeria (Sandahl Bergman) and Subotai (Gerry Lopez). The group comes upon King Osric (Max Von Sydow), who wants the trio of warriors to help rescue his daughter who has joined Doom in the hills."

Safeguard Your Child-Heart
Regardless of your age, let this October 31st encourage you to add to your life that children's occupation of play! I personally try to include it as part of my daily routine, and I encourage you my reader to do likewise. While appearing to be a waste of time, it is actually emotionally, psychologically and spiritually healthy. However, be forewarned it requires more discipline than physical exercise and lacks any sort of authoritative encouragement.
You can imagine my surprised delight to find strong approval for my childlike activities from a wisdom master, Confucius (551-479 BC), who said, "The great man is he would has not lost his child-heart!" I however rephrase this Chinese sage's insight as, "Happy are those who have not lost their child-heart." I do this because have you ever seen a playing child who wasn't having fun? So those who haven't lost their child-heart usually enjoy a happy lifestyle that doesn't let the clock, their job or other duties prevent some childlike playful pretending.
Children's play is rarely just fooling around. It is most often acting out a grown-up role with dolls or toy trucks as if already they were adults. Fantasizing the future isn't only for kids because adulthood isn't a static permanent state in life, but is forever fluid and changing. So use your child-heart's imagination to create the kind of person you desire to be ten or twenty years from now.
If you neglect imagining, day-dreaming your future, you will be doomed to wake up some day trapped as a prisoner in disagreeable circumstances. This regrettable situation is the result of neglect and could most likely have been avoided by some creative pretending of your tomorrows.
If you are among those who have lost your child-heart, go out today to search for it. I suggest you will find it where you lost it, which most likely will be….

The National Science Teachers Association posted a great piece on Maker Ed, Spreading 'Making' With a Passion:
The "maker" movement's roots are scattered across the country, in garages, basements, and workshops; the seeds sown among spare parts, untried ideas, and experiments—successful and failed.
"From a science and technology point of view, [making is] a gateway to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)," says Dale Dougherty, the founder of MAKE magazine and Maker Faire, an event created by MAKE to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects, and the Do-It-Yourself mindset." Dougherty, who also serves on the board of advisors of the Maker Education Initiative (Maker Ed), adds, making "provides a context for science and technology and helps [students] do something they're already interested in doing."
Through MAKE and Maker Faire, Dougherty has been encouraging people of all ages to become makers and "approach science and technology not as an abstract, but [as] something very concrete they can engage with, have fun with…The idea of maker space right now combines elements of old shop classes, computer labs, and art."
Maker Ed is an amazingly cool initiative. Check it out!

"Service and delivery were absolutely fantastic! Another provider let me place the order without alerting me that they were out of stock for the next 6 weeks (so I canceled). Pegasus had 6 seats in stock, shipped it out the same day I ordered it, and gave me free shipping, and got the seat to me in 3 days across half the country! Additionally, the employee I spoke to on the phone was extremely friendly and helpful. This is how shopping for parts online should be!"

Do you love to entertain your family and friends? Create one of a kind birthday parties? Or maybe you have a special occasion coming up and want something really exciting to wow your guests! Well let me tell you, you need to go and pick up a copy of Stampington's latest publication, Mingle.
I knew that this would be another great magazine from Stampington, aren't they all? But when I opened this it took my breath away. The photography is superb and it's full of amazing events and small gatherings with a layout that invites you into each one. It's inspiring to look at and gives you close up shots and so you can see all the little things that make an event special. With the holidays coming up you will definitely want to browse the pages for ideas for setting beautiful tables, to appetizers and dressing up simple drinks.
I'm going to keep my issue out on my coffee table (one of the things I love about Stampington's publications is how heavy and nice the pages are, almost a book feel) and I'm going to give away the extra copy to one of you!!! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be entered. How about telling everyone what your favorite Stampington publication is? I will use that faithful old random number generator and see who the lucky winner is this Wednesday, October 5th.

PostgreSQL 8.2.23 Documentation | ||||
Prev | Fast Backward | Appendix E. Release Notes | Fast Forward | Next |
Release Date: 2008-06-12
This release contains one serious and one minor bug fix over 8.2.8. For information about new features in the 8.2 major release, see Section E.24.
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.2.X. However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.2.7, see the release notes for 8.2.7.
Make pg_get_ruledef()
parenthesize negative constants (Tom)
Before this fix, a negative constant in a view or rule might be dumped as, say, -42::integer, which is subtly incorrect: it should be (-42)::integer due to operator precedence rules. Usually this would make little difference, but it could interact with another recent patch to cause PostgreSQL to reject what had been a valid SELECT DISTINCT view query. Since this could result in pg_dump output failing to reload, it is being treated as a high-priority fix. The only released versions in which dump output is actually incorrect are 8.3.1 and 8.2.7.
Make ALTER AGGREGATE ... OWNER TO update pg_shdepend (Tom)
This oversight could lead to problems if the aggregate was later involved in a DROP OWNED or REASSIGN OWNED operation.

Human beings are creatures that copy each other. We especially copy our movie stars - and movie stars are paid to copy us. Movie stars and stage performers have always both reflected and influenced cultural norms. With the advent of TV in the 1950s, this cycle of influence became especially strong. Many people watch TV on a daily basis, and actors have a major influence on our clothing fashions, speech habits, and importantly, our posture. Because the posture of actors is well-preserved in millions of reels of celluloid, this medium provides an interesting study of changing postural trends over the past century.
