I'm using this opportunity to be alone so i can get myself together. There are times when iget lonely. I want to cuddle and to find a soulmate who is loving ,caring attentive. It is hard though. I think of us when a snow storm happens and we're in the home cooking ,watching movies etc. Closing out the world and j ust enjoying each other. Enjoying a bubble bath together ,going for walks and having some one who is my best friend. I'm a romantic and it's j ust me thinking out loud. HAVE A GOOD DAY & WEEKEND.
That would be lovely. I had one of those for a brief moment in time(13 yrs).
You know it'sahrd men reject women al ot & we have to accept it but when we're strong enough to say no to a male they can't handle it ! I love men and i just wa nt a righteous God-fearing man!
Quoting M4LG5: Then i think you need to be a lesbian. Haha. Jk. My sister is gay and said that as a joke to me once.
to get these things you also have to BE these things
and just remember, men are wired differently, they're looking for something totally different. Loving and caring to them translates totally differently.
Hang in there. Good luck.

In conversation with Bettina Schulz, Chief Editor of Novum Magazin, on the occacion of an article about Studio Laucke Siebein
Novum, World of Graphic Design, 11/07, ISBN 4 198090 909809 11
You can argue about taste.
Following a degree from the Hochschule der Künste Berlin and five year's working in agencies, Dirk Laucke set up his own studio in Amsterdam. The multiple-award-winnig solutions he created there are beautifully clear and often surprising in the detail. Bettina Schulz talked to this creative about his career and his understanding of good design.
How did you come to start up your own studio?
During my third year at the Art School I set up my first design office together with a college friend. Looking back I can see that this early start into independence was in many ways a fiasco. We had a number of clients, all with faith in us, but the printed results of our work really did not do justice to our talent and our ambitions. I was aware that we had made many mistakes, but wasn't sure exactly what, so I decided in 1994 to seek refuge in a large, respected agency. My choice fell on Total Design in Amsterdam, where I hoped to learn the tricks I needed to carry a job through from idea to final result without losing the thread in the problem, the design or the technical implementation. And I did acquire just that knowledge. Of course not during three months work experience, as I had hoped at the beginning, but after five years working at Dedato, another large design agency in Amsterdam.
What kind of work did you do there? What were the main influences on you and the way you work?
During the five years at Total Design and Dedato I worked almost exclusively on key accounts. What I noticed was that with these multinationals, the design decisions were often insincere and motivated mainly by company politics. A designer has to learn to hide as far as possible the contradicting and unimportant requirements of a product. I remember a job from a major international group for headed letter paper on which twelve logos were to appear in hierarchical order, from top to bottom, and from large to small. Designing for large clients was often more a business of »casting a form for logistic issues« than making content visible. The letter paper was in 2000 and it was the catalyst for me to set up my own studio, where I could dedicate myself to the complex issues of smaller clients. Absurdly my first client was Akzo Nobel, a company with 60,000 employees worldwide.
What was it you did for them?
I received a commission from their paints department to design a book about colour trends for the coming year. In the end this book made it into the final selection for the »Best Verzorgde Boeken«, the most beautiful books award in the Netherlands. Despite the size and complexity of this company, we managed to design books of very high quality for them. That is thanks primarily to the internal organisation at Akzo Nobel, which enabled us to work with small groups of people who had the authority to make decisions. I am convinced that the surest way of producing a bad product is to ask as many people as possible for their opinion. You're much better off if only one or a maximum of two people are involved in the decisionmaking.
Maybe also that heads off any possible clashes to do with personal taste?
The Dutch divide our specialism up sometimes into two categories: 'Vormgeven' and 'Ontwerpen', which translated means roughly form-giving and designing. Form-giving is mainly about the exterior and it aims at producing products that look good. As a young designer I was involved in that too. I think that's absolutely normal. Most of my trainees are interested in doing »great« work. The problem is that 'looking good' and 'great' are attributes from the world of good taste, and this world is shaped by all kinds of factors but not through own insight. And, contrary to what most people say, I very much believe you can argue about taste. With colleagues and with clients. But no clients are willing to spend money on this debate. Nevertheless it is my honest opinion that most of my clients do have good taste. And what's more they realise that this doesn't make them into good designers. That's why they come to us for advice and in my answers I try to always present plausible reasons, based on content, for the decisions I make.
What is the philosophy of your studio?
From all the above, I have derived two guiding principles, which should help point my work in the right direction. First, we can argue about taste. And secondly, it's better to have a bad idea of your own than to steal a good idea from someone else. Concentrating too much on whether something looks good is risky, because you might end up just reproducing things you've seen or things that have already worked. In my view this is a form of plagiarism. A studio that simply copies will end up with big problems when it comes to developing its own profile. It becomes indistinguishable in the crowd. Apart from the fact that there's no reason to develop ugly things, we think it's important for a product to have integrity, in terms of both content and visual design without any tricks or sleight of hand. Good design in my opinion is measured on how easily it is understood, on the honesty of its concept. For that reason I never try to process too many good ideas in a design. One well worked out idea, easy to grasp even if seen only in passing, is for me better design than a fireworks display of spectacular ideas. On the other hand I am an opponent of too dogmatic ideas about design. Design should never reflect the design, but the posed theme. Clients are generally not so interested in design that is self-referential.

Home builders in South Florida started work on more single-family homes in the first quarter than they did a year ago, according to the Metrostudy research firm.
Broward County had 257 housing starts from January through March, up 67 percent from a year ago. In Palm Beach County, there were 255 home starts in the quarter, a 22 percent increase from a year earlier.
The Monterra development in Cooper City accounts for most of the new homes being built in Broward. The project featuring 850 single-family homes is on pace to be completed next year, about two years ahead of schedule.
South Florida home starts bottomed in 2009, according to Metrostudy. While the pace is picking up, starts remain far below what they were during the housing boom, when each of the two counties had 2,000 to 3,000 starts a quarter.

Winter bug count nets unexpected discoveriesMarch 28, 2014 by Elizabeth Ng in Biology / Ecology
A type of ant that usually resides in warm climates was found for the first time in Canada, in an apartment in Westlock in the dead of winter.
It was one of 107 species recorded during the third annual Winterbugs Alberta, a winter bug count led by John Acorn, faculty service officer in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences.
One of Acorn's former students brought him the tiny, reddish ant specimen.
"I couldn't ID it," chuckles Acorn. "It was embarrassing because we had just published a key to the ants of Alberta. An ant specialist from the United States identified it—the ants have been showing up in Massachusetts, Poland and Germany. As far as we know, it's not a pest."
The count takes place from December to February when bug enthusiasts from across the province post their findings, which can range from flies, fleas and mites to beetles and even butterflies, on the project's Facebook page.
The bugs, which can be found indoors or out, are counted if they're active on their own and not roused from hibernation. If the exact species isn't known, Acorn and other professionals will try to identify the bugs through photos or detailed descriptions.
This year, bugs were found in houses and greenhouses, in heated barns, on chickens, in basil from British Columbia, on a dead red squirrel, in a container of flour and even in the snow. Most are what Acorn calls "predictable household bugs," like spiders and beetles. But he notes that the count was surprising in terms of what wasn't found.
"When we started this, there was an assumption people would report the insects we know are active in the winter, like springtails, snow fleas and wingless crane flies. You can find them on the snow on warm days. But those have proved to be rare," he said.
This year's count yielded some other unexpected finds. A new species of cluster fly was spotted in Edmonton. The first count yielded a mite that also hadn't been seen in Canada before, living in the bottom of Acorn's pet scorpion's cage.
This year's count is still being compiled—some photos and notes were sent in just before the deadline—but Acorn hopes the count will only get bigger in the years to come.
"There's a competitive urge to be the first person to report the first bug of the season and also be the one who finds the most."

Michael Clarke Duncan was rendered nearly speechless when he first laid eyes on his now-girlfriend of nearly two years, Omarosa Manigault Stallworth, and the actor happily admits he's in love.
"Yes, I am [in love]," Michael told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday's Access Hollywood Live, when asked about the big "L" word with Omarosa. "I found her, literally. I walked up to her. I think that in life you get one chance with somebody and either you blow it or you make it happen. And she was the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen."
The54-year-old star was enjoying a casual trip to the supermarket when he saw the former reality TV personality and attempted to make conversation.
"I said, 'You're the mean girl from 'The Apprentice,'" Michael said with a laugh. "That's the only thing that came out. That's the only thing I saw was that girl."
"Great leadoff line!" Kit joked.
"I know, but I [had seen] her on another talk show and she had these legs and her legs were crossed," Michael said. "I was thinking, 'That is a gorgeous woman right there, I've got to meet her!'
"And when I met her, I said that line, but then I said, 'OK, this may be the last time you ever see her and you gotta go back!'" he added.
The actor — who is currently starring on "The Finder" on FOX — quickly remedied the situation, searching the store until he found Omarosa.
"I went up every aisle and found her again — and the rest is history," he said with a smile. "You know I wasn't going to give up like that!"
"The Finder" airs Fridays at 8/7c on FOX.

The Center, founded in cooperation with Jane Jacobs in 2005, is a leading global urbanist organization, the purpose of which is to expand the understanding of contemporary urban life and inspire civic engagement and creative responses for the urgent advancement of social, economic and environmental justice.
The Center, founded in cooperation with Jane Jacobs in 2005, is a leading global urbanist organization, the purpose of which is to expand the understanding of contemporary urban life and inspire civic engagement and creative responses for the urgent advancement of social, economic and environmental justice.
The Center, founded in cooperation with Jane Jacobs in 2005, is a leading global urbanist organization, the purpose of which is to expand the understanding of contemporary urban life and inspire civic engagement and creative responses for the urgent advancement of social, economic and environmental justice.
The Center provides opportunities for community engagement through the lens of urban ecology to further understanding of the interconnected human and ecological systems in our communities.
Urban ecology is the study of the ways that human and ecological systems evolve together in urban and urbanizing regions. Through the comprehensive understanding of the ecology of cities, people can make more informed decisions about the future of places they care about. This urban ecological framework fosters collaborative, holistic and ground-up approaches to city building, and can help bring grace, justice and aesthetic balance to our communities. The Center's multi-disciplinary approach to community engagement is applied through educational programs, collaborative projects, fellowships, on-line portals, workshops and publications.
The Center also creates opportunities for at-risk, underrepresented, and curious individuals to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens, assisting them in finding avenues for community action. One current project, the Observe! Patch Program, funded by the Ford Foundation, encourages girls and young women around the globe to observe their neighborhoods, create a response to opportunities and problems they recognize and through these efforts, amplify their voices as engaged citizens.
Cities are living organisms where dynamic systems metabolize every element. Opening doors where youth can discover these invisible flows makes opportunities for cultural change visible. Teaching youth with dynamic, hands-on lessons about the intricate systems of cities empowers them to grasp a city's essence. This understanding expands the ways they can participate in shaping, repairing and preserving the places they care about. To make a difference we have to know and love our cities.
To further the understanding and complexity of urban life, the Center is creating a new program, also funded by the Ford Foundation, to strengthen the vocabulary, knowledge and skills of journalists who write about cities. The City Journalism Workshop addresses a shortfall in journalism and provides citizens and policymakers with the knowledge needed to accurately inform the ways people can preserve and transform their communities.
Additionally, in close collaboration with the Consortium for Dark Sky Studies (multi-university, based at the University of Utah), the Center is investigating the environmental, health and social justice impacts of light pollution, light trespass and "the disappearing dark" in urban areas.
With both Governing and Advisory Boards in place, the Center's five-year impact priorities are:
‣ Broaden civic engagement with increased concentration on marginalized populations (equitable engagement)
‣ Encourage and assist collective inquiry and utilization of community-based participatory planning
‣ Elevate position and perspective of women and girls in social justice initiatives
‣ Invite problem-solving through innovation and community-based creative response
‣ Progress from best practices to a collective vision of best possibilities
‣ Advance the understanding of the ecology of cities/urban ecology (integration of social, environmental and economic systems in addressing urban challenges) as a pedagogical model
Developing voices + skills through the power of observation, communication + action.

The Center for the Living City, with support from the Ford Foundation, is advancing and expanding the pilot Observe! patch with Girl Scout Troop #496 in Salt Lake City, for girls and young women throughout the world.
One of the main goals of this program is to develop civically engaged voices of young women that lead to local and global action in the places they care about. The girls and young women will participate in a community-based patch program, learn about cities and develop skills that will amplify their voices as they engage in place-based, creative action.
Women and girls are deeply affected by misogynistic behaviors and attitudes prevalent in societies around the globe. The impacts are often internalized, creating barriers that diminish and even silence their voices. Urgent problems facing communities, including the impacts of climate change, rapid urbanization, access to safe drinking water and sanitation, food deserts and other deficiencies are also opportunities for creative responses from the change-makers of the future. Inspired by the broad impacts of women like Jane Jacobs, Wangari Maathai, and recently, Malala Yousafzai, girls and young women have both new role models and new narratives to help them navigate through inequalities and push for creative expression. This program will provide skills and tools that both inform action and support their developing voices.
The 2017 Jane Jacobs Fellow, Kat Nix, worked with the Center for the Living City and is seeking to engage the Girl Scouts of the USA, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and other worldwide organizations to identify, create and disseminate resources to implement the Observe! patch globally.
This fellowship built upon a successful joint pilot project with the Girl Scout Troop 496 (Muslim Girl Scouts of Utah) during spring of 2016. Led by University of Utah student Naba Faizi, the project focused on Jacobs' groundbreaking work about the importance of observation. Beginning with the reading of Glenna Lang's book, Genius of Common Sense: Jane Jacobs and the Story of the Death and Life of Great American Cities, the girls came to understand the importance of Jacobs' voice in our evolving understanding of cities. Lang's book both describes Jacobs' young life in Scranton, Pa., where she was herself a Girl Scout, and opens a window on Jacobs' bold voice as she worked to understand the ways cities work.
Once the girls and young women understood how Jacobs developed her powerful observational skills to create new knowledge about cities, the girls will created individual Jane Jacobs Walks that introduce one another to their unique communities. These elements include those which may cause concern or joy, inform a sense of history, address problems of housing, mobility, food justice, access to education and sanitation, or a host of other problems witnessed through their observational skills. The girls are invited to propose ways to preserve, celebrate, heal or transform an area they discover. In each case, their discoveries open pathways for creative action and a working vocabulary of the ecology of cities

Tennessee State won't simply have the opportunity for an upset in front of its home crowd when it hosts Murray State in a couple weeks. The Tigers actually will have the chance to do so in front of a national audience.
The Ohio Valley Conference announced on Tuesday that the matchup between Murray State and TSU at the Gentry Center at 7 p.m. on Feb. 23 will be televised on ESPNU. The same teams play 7 p.m. Thursday at Murray in a game available on ESPN3.
Murray State (23-0, 11-0) is the last undefeated team in Division I.
The Tigers (15-10, 8-4) have won five in a row and need just one win to clinch their first winning season since 1995-96. They are tied for second place in the OVC with Tennessee Tech, which comes to the Gentry Center on Saturday.
Over the last two years, TSU has a 20-3 record at home. The Tigers' only losses were to Belmont and Murray State last year and Middle Tennessee State two months ago.
• Thornton honored: TSU junior forward Kellen Thornton picked up his second OVC Newcomer of the Week honor of the season, the league announced on Monday.
Thornton, a Chicago native, matched his career-high with back-to-back 15-point games in wins against Austin Peay and Southeast Missouri State last week. The 6-foot-7, 243-pounder shot 50 percent from the field (10-of-20) and grabbed a total of 11 rebounds.

|Could the stars align and bring Arroyo back to Cincy?
Arroyo has received plenty of interest from teams this offseason and rightly so. Every team could use a solid veteran starting pitcher who eats innings, however no team has been willing to commit to the time or money that it will take to signing Arroyo. This could play right into the Reds hands if everything falls into place, as Bowden explains.
You've got to have ESPN Insider powers to read the full article, but I'll give you the highlights:
"Therefore, he might just fall back into the lap of the Reds, who would be smart to ink him to a two-year deal.
His veteran leadership, quality innings and ability to pitch at Great American Ball Park would put the Reds at ease."
Actually that's really about the only highlight, but it makes sense.
Last year, the Reds starting rotation was as strong as any when it was healthy. Despite what the starters did in 2012, odds are that no rotation is going to stay completely healthy for a full season. Without Arroyo, the Reds rotation stands to be Mat Latos, Johnny Cueto, Homer Bailey, Mike Leake, and Tony Cingrani without much depth in case of injury. If one of those guys goes down in 2014, it will be slim pickens as far as options to replace him and if lost for the whole season, 2014 could be a long one. Bringing Arroyo back into the fold would as Bowden worded it, "put the Reds at ease" and there's no question about it.
He's not always the best pitcher on the mound, but he's always on the mound, having never missed a major league start, and overall he puts on a pretty good performance when all is said and done. He will have a stinker every once in a while, but no pitcher can be expected to win every time out.
Great pitching is what has gotten the Reds to where they are and spending a little money to retain one of their main men could serve them well. The Reds do have some competition from the Twins and two mystery teams as many media outlets have put it. Hopefully, as the market dwindles for Arroyo, he'll be inclined to give the Reds a little hometown discount and sign up to come back to the Queen City.
Arroyo's veteran experience and leadership could be much needed for a pitching staff that is losing one of its most trusted advisors in Catcher Ryan Hanigan who was dealt the to the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this offseason.
I for one am in favor of re-signing Arroyo and I hope everything lines up for him to return. Do you agree?

ROP moved into our new home, called the Imizi Children's Center by our children, in October 2015 after being forcefully evicted from our previous home of over five years in Kigali. While our new site is much better suited to the care of children, many of the buildings sat unused for years prior to us moving in and require repairs and renovations.
Our current facilities include:
- Two large dormitories
- Six classrooms
- A teachers' office
- Social work/counseling office
- A small clinic
- A large dining hall
- A library/playroom
- One toilet block
- A storage room for clothes and donations
- An outdoor volleyball ground
We are currently in need of:
- A second set of toilets for boys and girls
- Bathing rooms for our resident boys
- A sports field
- Renovations to our second dormitory, which is unusable in it's current state
- Water storage tanks
- Various building, electrical and plumbing upgrades

Skip to comments.Marketwatch poll - Romney - 63 /O'Bummor - 33!
Posted on 11/06/2012 9:38:17 AM PST by RogerWilko
I know it's not a scientific poll, but it sure looks better than if it was the other way around!
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.marketwatch.com ...
And the LSM will be in UTTER SHOCK!! Let's HOPE!
Obama has tainted the meaning of the word "hope" for a long time.
But we'll all be called racists for voting out the worst president we've had so far.
Well, coal stocks are up. If people thought oboma was going to win, it would be sell, sell, sell!
Sticks and sones and all that....Grown-up don't care
All I want to do is watch MSNBC when they have to project that President Elect Mitt Romney will be the 45th President of the U.S.
Sticks and stones and all that....Adults don't care
I thought it might be nice to get a taste of some REAL "HOPE"!
I've been reluctant to call a Romney win in Michigan any more than "possible" but with what we're seeing in turnout, I'm slipping toward "likely".
"...President Elect Mitt Romney will be the 45th President of the U.S...."
A lot of people may not agree with this but in my book, Romny will be the legitamate 44th president of the USA. Obama will have a huge asterick beside his name until the entire truth of his background comes out. If it ever comes out and shows that he is indeed a foreign national that usurped the Oval Office, his time in office should be stricken from the record. At least that's how I feel about it.
It's now 64/32!
I wonder how long it'll be till they whitewash it!
That's what the REAL poll results should look like, if the LSM wasn't a bunch of corrupt cheerleaders for the Dumbocrats!
Who did you vote for?
Yahoo poll
Who did you vote for?
President Barack Obama
Mitt Romney
292,105 votes
Very few of the "scientific polls" are scientific polls.
I was going to say that Yahoo users should be a decent sampling. Perhaps the future of polling is internet web sites.
The gap is huge for a theoretically neutral site.
There were alot of technical/financial types who went for zero in 2008.
These persons have disappeared.

A Bit of News about Jay Rod & Foster at Barnsley
Clarets striker, Jay Rodriguez is heading back to Turf Moor after scoring just the once in six appearances during his month-long loan spell with Barnsley.
Barnsley gaffer, Mark Robins said:
'Jay will go back to Burnley and I have to thank (Burnley boss) Brian (Laws) for letting him come here.
'He will have benefited from some games and his goal.'
There is also more news from Barnsley about one of our former players, defender Stephen Foster.
Foster joined the Clarets from Crewe Alexandra on a free transfer following their demotion from the Championship at the end of the 2005-6 season. Signed by Steve Cotterill he never really established himself in the Clarets first team making just 17 appearances during 2006-7.
In August 2007 Foster was transferred to Barnsley for the sum of £100,000 signing a two year contract. The Tykes had been interested in him before and he soon became a fans favourite at Oakwell eventually becoming captain.
Foster,now 29 has made over 120 appearances for the Tykes.
The defender's contract was due to expire at the end of this season, but he has now agreed to stay at Oakwell until 2012 after signing a new contract.

With House Republicans and Senate Democrats an ocean apart when it comes to resolving the current showdown over the budget and President Obama's health care law, it's theoretically increasingly likely that there will be a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1.
But in reality, there's still reason to believe that that lawmakers will come to some sort of agreement to keep government funded.
The nation now has more than two and a half years of experience with divided government during the Obama presidency. And each time there has been a major crisis, it's followed a familiar pattern.
The sides are far apart. It looks like the crisis may hit. Then, at the last minute, there's some sort of deal that's able to pass the Senate that Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is able to get through the House of Representatives with a lot of help from Democrats.
Obviously, right now, it's hard to see a path to an agreement. But things aren't looking any more grim now than they were at this time leading up to the first government shutdown battle in early 2011, or the debt limit fight that summer, or the fiscal cliff showdown late last year.
There are a number of arguments that could be made as to why this time could be different. But, given the precedent, the default assumption has to be that the crisis will be avoided.

A capsule wardrobe is a compact collection of mix and match seasonal pieces youll wear time and time again. Smart shopping is about choosing items that can be worn together in many different ways to make your wardrobe work harder. So once you understand your style and shape, a carefully chosen collection of items can be combined in dozens of outfits, giving real value for money.
Remember: Real value = price ÷ times worn
This means the more you wear something, the better value it is! So if youve a wardrobe bursting with clothes but youve still got nothing to wear then its time to create a capsule wardrobe to suit your shape. Carol can show you how.
Aside from seasonal updates and accessories, Carol recommends a core wardrobe of six must-have basics that will never date.
Do you have these in your wardrobe?
- Great fitting pair of jeans
- Little black dress
- Smart black/ neutral coloured trousers
- Classic white or ivory shirt
- Long cardigan
- Flattering coat or jacket
With these versatile staples to fall back on, youll find you can get many looks with very few additions dress them up or down to suit the occasion. Based on cost per wear, its well worth investing in good quality pieces that will look good and last, season on season.
By mixing and matching your core pieces and more seasonal capsule items, you can create over a hundred new outfits and save yourself some money in the process!

Ruco Chan has dry love life and focuses on his career
Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) was dressed in sports attire to attend press conference related to charity run and expressed he might not turn up to show support due to filming series on that day: "But fans club has registered and will get ready for it." Ruco had been filming The Alliance (同盟) series lately and might complete it in January 2017: "Will be filming in Taiwan later. (Are you dating Nancy Wu (胡定欣)?) I am single now. (Having relationship now?) We are colleagues and see each other daily due to filming series together. (Boost your chance?) I am afraid of this sentence and we are adults anyway. (Nancy is not your cup of tea?) Everyone has different perspective. (You can woo Nancy since she breaks up with music composer not long ago?) Her separation is unrelated to me and I am focusing on my work now. (Very dry?) Yes, it depends on fate and no point forcing it when it does not belong to you."

The previous year had found the regiment suffering through the winter of 1862-63, dealing with an aborted officer's "mutiny", Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (and the death of 2 lieutenant-colonels at those battles), and the breakup of their XI Corps. It was a long, hard year for Connecticut men (and boys, really). New Year's Day in South Carolina was markedly different. From an account by George Partric of Company F, here is 17thcvi.org's New Year's 2013 present:
"The first day of January, 1864, found the Seventeenth still on Folly Island. There was no drill nor other duty excepting guard, and the day was given up to idleness and other enjoyment, the chief feature being the examination of the boxes sent us by the soldiers' aid societies in Bridgeport and Danbury.
A barrel of genuine Connecticut apple juice in camp was a striking feature. Such a token of good will from the North was received by a George A. Partric, of Company F. It came from his Norwalk friends, and he describes its hearty reception as follows:
"I was on camp guard duty when the barrel arrived. When I came off duty I saw the barrel being rolled by Sergeant St. John and several others toward my tent. I told them to take it to the company's eating house. They did so, and we immediately tapped it. The cider had been made about three weeks, and was found to be in prime condition. The boys wouldn't partake of it until I would consent to take compensation for it. We finally agreed on five cents a quart for the juice until a certain number of gallons were gone, and then the balance should be free. The precious liquid then began to flow from the barrel and down the throats of the men in blue, and, as it was the pure juice, the men were loud in its praise. As the news spread some of the 25th Ohio boys heard of it, and they came on to test the virtue of Connecticut apple juice. They were made heartily welcome, and were as loud as the others in praise of the stuff. As we had the night to ourselves, we made a night of it—we and the cider. The cider had had no opportunity to work until now, and it put in its best licks. Perhaps no cider was ever more industrious than was this. As the night advanced the cider in the barrel lowered, and the spirits of the boys rose. There were songs, dances on the table, toasts and applause. In the morning the interior of the cook house presented a very discouraging spectacle."

WASHINGTON – More grandparents than ever are raising their grandchildren and a significant portion of them are living in poverty, the Census Bureau (search) said in a report released Thursday.
About 19 percent of grandparent caregivers lived below the poverty line in 1999, compared with 14 percent of all families living with children.
The report, culled from 2000 census data, found that about a third of the 2.4 million grandparents who are primary caregivers to their grandchildren lived in a home without the child's parents.
In many cases, it's because one or both parents are in jail or on drugs, say advocacy groups who urged Congress to provide more help. They noted several bills are pending aimed at helping caregiving grandparents with basic costs and housing, though the full House and Senate have yet to vote on the measures.
"Those that need financial support deserve financial support to keep their families together and that's something that policy-makers have not dealt with yet," said Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United, which advocates for families in which elderly and young people live together.
One of the greatest needs is more outreach centers that could help these families find legal, financial, medical and social services, said Jim Parkel, president of AARP (search), the nation's largest organization for older Americans.
Diane Thibodeau, 50, of Sebring, Fla., has raised two grandsons — ages 2 and 3 — on her own since March 2002. She doesn't work anymore because of a back injury, her husband died two years ago, and she said the children's father is emotionally unstable and their mother had a drug problem.
Thibodeau said she gets $241 a month in public assistance for raising the two boys, along with $300 a month from the boys' father, and some disability pay. But she struggles sometimes to pay for such things as clothes or shoes. "What do you have to do, go begging?" she asked.
"But they're worth it," she said. "They don't know any other Mommy but me."
Congress first took interest in the plight of grandparents as caregivers while reforming the nation's welfare system in 1996, but since little government data existed on the issue, lawmakers ordered the Census Bureau to ask about it in 2000.
The census report expanded on previously released data from the 2000 head count. Specifically, three question on grandparents were asked on the "long-form" questionnaire distributed to about one of six households.
One question asked if a grandparent was responsible for "most of the basic needs" of a grandchild in the home. "Yes" was the answer from 42 percent, or 2.4 million, of the nearly 5.8 million grandparents living with a grandchild.
The closest the census had come in the past to addressing this issue was to estimate the percentage of children under 18 living in a grandparent-headed home. That was 6.3 percent in 2000, compared with 5.5 percent in 1990 and 3.6 percent in 1980.
The latest census report found that grandparents acted as caregivers most often in American Indian and black families. About 56 percent of Indian grandparents and 52 percent of black grandparents living with grandchildren identified themselves as the main caregivers.
The numbers for Indians and blacks are due in part to stronger cultural ties to grandparenting roles in those populations and because those groups tend to make less money and are more apt to have several generations living in the same home, said Roderick Harrison, a demographer with the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, which looks at issues concerning minorities.
The rates were 43 percent among non-Hispanic whites, 35 percent for Hispanics, and 20 percent for Asians.

Food-truck season is still in full swing, and there are enough mobile kitchens on the street to keep your taste buds busy until the snow flies.
We recently got the chance to try new-this-year Gogi Bros., which is serving Korean barbecue.
The mandu ($3), or fried potstickers, were crispy on the outside and flavorful inside and a generous portion for the price.
We liked the Galbi ($9), somewhat chewy slices of beef short rib, marinated for three days and grilled. It was served with a kicky kimchi and some white rice that definitely would have benefitted from a drag through the kimchi spices and beef marinade. That would have been easier to do if it had been served in a container that didn't separate all the elements.
Bulgagi ($7), or barbecue beef, was similar to the galbi in seasoning but lacked bones. It also came with kimchi and rice.
We're interested in going back for tacos made with the bulgagi, which we hope are topped with that funky kimchi, but with all the other street-food options out there, we might have to wait until next year.

It's large with respect to the non-implemented segment of HTML5 ruby. > If a renderer is expected to know how to handle markup intrinsically for > applying parens, as you say, why can't it automatically rearrange the > content for display when inline ruby is required? Because that's much harder than just adding parens. If inlining is just about adding parens, then every implementation can trivially support it. Meanwhile fallback behavior in old engines is still sensible, and for documents that require good behavior there, can be done with <rp>. Also, I believe it's important that reasonable handling of ruby markup should be easy for a new implementation that hasn't yet worked itself up to rendering ruby yet; or for an implementation that never will get there (e.g. a non-graphical browser). > That way we can also avoid having two different CSS models, and make > authoring simpler too, n'est-ce pas? I don't think this actually makes authoring simpler. Right now if you have double-sided ruby, you have two very different markup models that you have to choose from depending on the structure of how the annotations map to the bases. This is an authoring problem as well as an implementation one, as it forces very different box structuring in the CSS model between the nested-<ruby> vs. stacked-<rt> approaches. The point of these changes is to have a single model, where HTML5's simple ruby is considered the simplest possible case: one annotation to one base, and no association across bases. > Bear in mind that the browser will have to do some fancy footwork > with the rb.rb.rt.rt model anyway in order to deal with line breaking, > since a jukugo can be broken in the middle of the word. In that case > the appropriate rt text must be moved to the next line block, with > the base text. Well, let's suppose we did things your way: use alternating rb/rt structure for jukugo ruby *and* do fancy inlining. One of the two is going to involve reordering. :) I'd rather the inlining be simple and the jukugo ruby, for which we have to create more complex structures anyway, have to deal with interesting line-breaking. > By the way, I think you are proposing the introduction of a second > CSS model yourself, since I believe we need to support the current > HTML simple ruby model, which allows rb.rt.rb.rt... I'm not. I'm proposing a CSS model that can incorporate that model as well as the full extent of XHTML Ruby, along with all the steps in between. The box model for this hasn't been written yet, but it's relatively straightforward. If we decide we want to use Hixie's proposal for double-sided ruby, however, then we need two different box models for ruby, and there's no way to get around that. His proposal effectively requires two box models, one for nested <ruby> and one for stacked-<rt> ruby. (And an implementation that also wants to do XHTML Ruby would need a third box model.) ~fantasaiReceived on Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:08:47 UTC

The question is what you should do if you are stopped by the police. The most important thing to do if you're stopped by the police is to be nice. Be pleasant and professional. Do not argue; don't be sarcastic, insulting, or difficult with the officer. Most police officers are simply trying to do their job. Most officers will treat you professionally. However even in situations where this is not the case, you will only cause yourself additional problems by being a jerk. Closely related advice is for you to restrain yourself from trying to be funny. Many officers will find this inappropriate. Keep in mind that just about anything you do or say while in contact with the police will likely be written down somewhere. It makes for a bad day for us as lawyers and for our clients as well when we walk into court to find out that even a simple traffic ticket is actually a hotly contested matter, simply because our client gave the officer a hard time. And please remember it makes no difference at all whether the officer "deserved" it. Either way, it will come back to haunt you.
Now this next part can be tricky, because while being reasonable and cooperative, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to assert your rights. Exercising your rights to a lawyer, to remain silent, and to be free from unreasonable search and seizure does not make you uncooperative or difficult, even if the officer chooses to call it that.
If an officer asks you whether you have been drinking, unless the honest answer to that question is "no", you should say that you do not wish to make any statements without your lawyer. If an officer asks you if he can search your person or your car, your response should simply be: "Officer, I mean no disrespect, but if I'm free to leave I want to do so now and if I'm not I want my attorney now. I do not wish to make any statements without my attorney present and I do not consent to any search of my person or vehicle without first consulting with my attorney."
At the earliest possible opportunity you should then give us a call here at Kurtz & Blum. Together we can discuss what happened and what needs to be done. At Kurtz & Blum, we're in your corner.
Our traffic attorneys help people throughout Wake County, North Carolina. We frequently handle offenses arising out of the following cities: Morrisville, New Hope, Holly Springs, Wendell, Knightdale, Cary, Apex, Zebulon, Raleigh, Rolesville, Fuquay-Varina, Wake Forest and Garner.

Even though I'm not a photographer (I don't even play one on TV), I get butterflies in my stomach when the photographic competition results are announced. I eagerly review the scores of PPA photographers I know and cheer when they score above that "magic number" of 80. In the next few weeks, I'll have a lot of butterflies and will cheer a lot, as many PPA District Competitions are taking place.
But, as Ed Sullivan said, the "really big show" happens in June. That's when the International Photographic Competition (IPC) is judged in Atlanta. It's amazing to witness the judging firsthand and see all the creative, stunning images that PPA members create. I don't know about you, but my emotions run from giggles to tears as the images are displayed and judged. I leave the IPC feeling proud to be a part of this industry and knowing that working photographers like you are bringing beauty to the world. In my mind, any photographer who enters the IPC should be lauded for competing.
This week's Vital Signs explores the "why" of International Photographic Competition. But whatever your reason for participating, I hope to see your images this year. You inspire the world through your images--share them!

When you synchronize your authoritative time server with an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) time server, Windows translates the time to your time zone and makes adjustments for Daylight Saving Time. In addition, the OS fine-tunes the time to account for any delay that occurred while it received the information over the Internet.
Time servers, which are available around the world, are maintained in a hierarchy. Primary (stratum 1) servers are the most accurate, but secondary (stratum 2) servers are generally either synchronized perfectly with stratum 1 servers or are only slightly off the clock ticks of the stratum 1 servers. The difference, a matter of a few nanoseconds, certainly won't create a problem for the network features that use Windows time services. Because stratum 1 time servers are very busy and can time out, you should select stratum 2 servers as your external NTP servers.
For a list of stratum 1 servers, visit http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm. For a list of stratum 2 servers, visit http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm. Each list contains the NTP time servers available for public access, including any restrictions on their use. Each entry gives the country code, state (US only), host name, Internet address, and geographic information.
In the United States, the US Naval Observatory (USNO) maintains two popular external time servers: ntp2.usno.navy.mil (126.96.36.199) and tock.usno.navy.mil (220.127.116.11). In Canada, popular servers include clyde.concordia.ca (184.108.40.206), manitou.cs.concordia.ca (184.108.40.206), and xntp.ece.concordia.ca (22.214.171.124).

Fashion has always raised everyone's curiosity, but hardly anyone tries to delve deep into the history of fashion. The history of fashion is as colorful as the any bold prints in the dresses of Dolce and Gabbana and Charlie Sceips has taken the pains of presenting the captivating past of fashion in the form of a book.
This encyclopedia of fashion focuses on the fashion trends prevailing in America since the 1950's and for the same reason it is named as 'American Fashion'. This book promises to cover up all the fads that have ever existed in the fashion industry from the day this ubiquitous term came into existence. These fashion fads will be illustrated by full-page pictures and detailed notes by the author. This effort has been commissioned by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) to celebrate the golden era of fashion and to leave it as a legacy to the upcoming breed to nascent designers.
This book will certainly be treasured as it will be a limited edition of 300 copies, each copy will be priced at $500. For those who do not consider fashion a worthwhile endeavor can also become a part of the rat race by getting a cheaper version of this book at $50.

* Developing drug to treat chronic plaque psoriasis
* 46 pct of patients saw 75 pct improvement at week 16
* Plan to proceed to late-stage trials
* Shares rise 1.2 pct (Adds shares, analyst comment)
By Caroline Copley
ZURICH, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Actelion, Europe's biggest biotech company, reported positive results from a mid-stage clinical trial of a treatment for skin disease psoriasis, adding to recent good news for its key next-generation heart and lung drug.
The Swiss firm said on Tuesday its ponesimod drug achieved its main goal in the trial, with 46 percent of patients suffering from moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis seeing a 75 percent improvement in an index for monitoring the disease at 16 weeks when treated with a 20 milligramme dose.
This compares with a 13.4 percent improvement in patients treated with a placebo. Patients receiving ponesimod continued to show improvement after the initial 16 weeks, Actelion added.
The results are a further boost to Actelion, which is currently dependent on heart and lung drug Tracleer but has seen its future brighten since macitentan - a next-generation replacement for Tracleer - beat expectations in a trial.
Its shares were up 1.2 percent to 45.54 Swiss francs by 0925 GMT, outperforming a 0.2 percent fall in the European healthcare index.
Vontobel analyst Andrew Weiss noted there was stiff competition in the psoriasis field from Amgen's brodalumab, which showed a greater improvement in a mid-stage study published earlier this year.
"We regard Amgen's brodalumab as (a) superior compound in the global psoriasis pipeline," Weiss said. "However, a strength of Actelion's compound is the oral route of administration." Brodalumab is injected.
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease which affects about 1-3 percent of the world population, with plaque psoriasis the most common form, making up 85 percent of cases.
Actelion said it now planned to start late-stage trials for ponesimod - which is also being developed as a treatment for multiple sclerosis - once the data has been fully analysed.
The company is banking on macitentan to replace Tracleer, which goes off patent in 2015 and is already facing competition from U.S. rival Gilead's Letairis.
"The main investment case remains based on Actelion's two drugs for the treatment of high lung blood pressure, but the additional diversification that ponesimod in psoriasis could provide would be welcome," said Sarasin analyst David Kaegi.
Last week, Actelion said the U.S. health regulator had agreed to evaluate macitentan - also called Opsumit - for the treatment of patients with a potentially life-threatening lung condition. (Reporting by Caroline Copley; Editing by Mark Potter and Emma Thomasson)

Celebrated stage and screen actor/director Fritz Kortner was a formidable (if unrelentingly dour) presence as the title character in The Life of Beethoven. Alas, with only 70 minutes' worth of screen time, the film is able to concentrate only on the "highlights" of Beethoven's existence. The fact that the film was silent spared the audience the usual "and then I wrote" chronology, though the strains of those nine symphonies are frankly sorely missed. Most of the film concentrates on Beethoven's unsatisfactory love life, suggesting that his genius was fueled by an early and insurmountable romantic disappointment. Ernst Baumeister co-stars as Ludwig V.'s contemporary Joseph Haydn.
Add this movie to your queue to receive more information about
Life of Beethoven and we will let you know when it becomes available.

Traffic engineers have mapped detours and timed traffic lights, but commuters will need to plot their own alternate routes to survive the crosstown drive Wednesday afternoon.
Because of the presidential debate at the University of Denver on Wednesday night, Interstate 25 will be closed in both directions from 5 to 10 p.m. between Santa Fe Drive and Hampden Avenue, and closed to large-vehicle traffic between Interstates 76 and 225 from 3 to 11 p.m.
The result will be more than double normal traffic on the Santa Fe-Hampden detour route around the southwest side of town and heavy truck traffic on the northeast highways.
The first line of defense is avoidance.
But for those forced into their cars during the afternoon rush, traffic planners advise learning to love the major north-south arterials — Broadway, Colorado Boulevard, Federal Boulevard, Monaco Parkway, Sheridan Boulevard and Wadsworth Boulevard, suggested Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Mindy Crane.
"There will be pros and cons in taking Colorado (Boulevard)," Crane said. "It will be busier, but there are a lot of different routes that spur off of it."
University Boulevard — another natural cut-through — will be closed near DU from Evans Avenue to Louisiana Avenue from 5 to 10 p.m.
Traffic planners suggest drivers stick to the big roads and stay off of residential streets as those are expected to crowd, too.
As for east-west travelers, Crane suggested Interstate 225, Alameda Avenue, Sixth Avenue and Hampden. For those not needing to stop in the heart of the city, C-470 and the E-470 toll road are good alternatives.
Because about 50,000 vehicles — up from the normal 20,000 — are expected to pour through the Santa Fe-Hampden detour, the traffic light green-cycle has been extended, Denver Public Works spokeswoman Emily Williams said.
Extra traffic cops will be on duty to help sort the snarls and respond to accidents, Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez said.
Denver has been through this drill before. When Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination at Mile High stadium in 2008, I-25 traffic was stopped between Interstate 70 and Sixth Avenue for 4½ hours.
But because of good driver planning, the jams didn't materialize.
RTD FasTracks spokesman Kevin Flynn — a former reporter who covered the traffic logistics of the Democratic National Convention for the Rocky Mountain News — offered bus and light rail as alternatives to navigating in a personal vehicle. The whole system will be in operation, with some delays near DU.
But if you must go by car, Flynn said, "I've found Sheridan to be a great hidden jewel."

Some of Hollywood's actors and actresses brought their families to the premiere of Disney's Wreck-It Ralph at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, Calif. on Monday (October 29).
NYPD Blues actress Garcelle Beauvais posed for pics on the red carpet with her handsome son Jaid, 5. Jaid's twin brother Jax wasn't with the pair.
The Breakfast Club alum Molly Ringwald, 44, came out with her hubby, Greek-American writer and book editor Panio Gianopoulos and the couple's daughter Mathilda, 9. It looks like 3-year-old twins Adele and Roman stayed home for this outing.
Two and a Half Men star Ming-Na Wen was all smiles on the red carpet with her hubby Eric Michael Zee and their children Michaela and Cooper as the family-of-four prepared to enjoy Disney's release.
Funny man Wayne Brady was also snapped with his gorgeous date – his 9-year-old daughter Maile – as the father-daughter duo prepared to check out the premiere.
