The Western Klamath Restoration Partnership
I'll be kicking off 2017 on the MAPA blog with a post about meaningful tribal collaboration, traditional ecological knowledge and preventing natural disasters on federal lands. I am Paula Hertfelder, MA/PhD student at Binghamton University and Pathways Intern with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) at the Six Rivers National Forest in northern California. I started work this past summer on the Western Klamath Restoration Partnership (WKRP) – an interdisciplinary collaborative formed between the Karuk Tribe, the U.S. Forest Service, the Mid-Klamath Watershed Council (MKWC) and other stakeholders. This collaborative partnership addresses concerns over the increasingly devastating wildfires in the West in part by using traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and land management. It has also led to a successful collaboration between USFS and Karuk Tribal archaeologists, which has improved heritage resource management efforts. The WKRP is a case study of successfully integrating TEK and Western science, collaborative work, and how TEK can be incorporated into the expectations of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when assembling an Environmental Assessment (EA). When conducting an EA, NEPA requires consultation with a range of stakeholders on varying concerns. There are many examples of TEK incorporation into the NEPA process, especially in different National Park [Read More]

1. Re: ATG Component ScopingNooruddin Shaik Jul 5, 2013 6:53 PM (in response to Twinkle Tiwari)
1.Formhandler- Request
2.Droplets - Global
3.Manager- Global
Components referencing other components:
Request Scoped Component can reference all scoped components
Session Scoped Components can reference global and session components (but not request).
Global Scoped Components can reference only global scoped components.
Real time example for session scope droplet is ShippingGroup Droplet
I do not see any good reason to have session scope component.
If you need to hold values then create a session scope bean like ShoppingCart which holds the data.

2. Re: ATG Component ScopingClareR-Oracle Jul 5, 2013 5:47 PM (in response to Nooruddin Shaik)
Shaik's response contains a couple of errors:
1. Session scoped components can refer to session and global components, not request. It shouldn't be necessary to memorize the rules for references in specific scopes. Global scope is the most general. There is one instance of a global component that is shared among all sessions and requests. Session is a narrower scope, where each component instance belongs to one session but is shared among all requests in that session. Request is the narrowest scope, with no sharing. Component references can refer to a more general scope but not a narrower one. Each request scoped component also belongs to a single thread, which means member variables are thread safe.
2. There are some session scoped form handlers in DCS. In particular, the form handlers that search for items in the product catalog and gift list repositories ship with session scope. The form handlers are session scoped to make shopper input values sticky from one search to the next. Going back to the original question, a global form handler makes no sense. Input values from different users would get tangled up and overwrite each other, producing incorrect results.
The decision about whether to make any particular component session scoped or create a central session scoped bean is a programming style choice. If you're working in a large development team or you want to build components that are independent of each other, for example because you're building a complex system with more than one module layer, it may be more convenient to keep properties in the components that use them. I'm not aware of a noticeable performance difference between the two styles. The main performance impact to worry about with session scoped components is that they can take up memory for an extended period of time. If you use session scoped components, make sure that all the member variables really need to hang around for the duration of the session.
Resolving (looking up) a component name is a non-trivial operation, as is instantiating a component. Droplets are usually global because it eliminates a lot of name resolution overhead. It's generally safe to make a droplet global because the state information, such as input parameters, is held outside of member variables. Manager and tools components that are part of the ATG platform are global more as a naming convention than anything else. They don't need to store information about one thread or request or session in member variables, which is the requirement for a global component.
3. Re: ATG Component ScopingNooruddin Shaik Jul 5, 2013 6:52 PM (in response to ClareR-Oracle)
Thanks Clare for pointing out.
Its a copy paste error from question.
Regarding the formhandlers, still I am not convinced why ATG used session scope formhandlers but would have used a session bean to hold the values.
4. Re: ATG Component ScopingClareR-Oracle Jul 5, 2013 9:39 PM (in response to Nooruddin Shaik)
As I said in my previous post, "If you're working in a large development team or you want to build components that are independent of each other" it's more convenient not to have a single session bean. Both of those criteria apply to ATG product development. Here are some additional reasons to keep properties in their form handlers:
- By using a separate session bean, every new feature that stored information in the bean would have to touch at least one extra source file (the bean). That's a nuisance for the person editing the files. It also leads to more merge conflicts in the source control system caused by collisions in the session bean file..
- It's a nuisance to have to write getSessionBean.getWhatever instead of getWhatever (and the same for setters) everywhere that touches a property value.
- If there are any properties for which Oracle/ATG or a customer wants to configure a default value, the configuration would have to happen in the session bean rather than the form handler. That's confusing. If one is thinking about a form handler, it's easier to configure the form handler component directly.
- Page code is easier to read if the form input fields mention the same component as the submit button. That would not be the case if sticky values lived in a separate bean.
- Customers who don't want form handler values to be sticky can change the scope of the form handler to request. That would be hard if some of the properties were stored in a separate bean. Note that this reason applies more to the ATG platform than it would to someone building a specific application.
Those are a few reasons off the top of my head. There may be more. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a separate bean if that's what you prefer.
5. Re: ATG Component Scopingmscarton Jul 5, 2013 10:23 PM (in response to ClareR-Oracle)
Nice discussion, Clare. This is really useful.
Can you give us some guidance as to the intended use of the new prototype scope that came into play with release 10.2. I can see where this could be very handy when needing to integrate libraries, API's, etc. provided by or with non-ATG applications. Particularly those whose architecture wasn't devised for web applications and wasn't oriented around the life cycle of a request. But I grow concerned that it could be easily be misused in such a way as to incur tremendous negative scalability impact. Imagine the impact of a request scoped component that was performing a resolveName() in a loop, for example.
So if you could give some guidance on best practice usage, do's and don'ts, the intension for the new scope, that would be +greatly+ appreciated. I'd like to figure out how it fits into the above mentioned discussion of the natural lifecycle duration of request, session, and global scoping. It seems to be a bit orthogonal to the nature of these other scopes.
BTW: What ever happened with Window scope? When that came out years ago in conjunction with CSC, I had thought that it would be a natural for managing the life cycle of tabs within pages. But it seemed to come and go with little fanfare.
6. Re: ATG Component ScopingClareR-Oracle Jul 9, 2013 7:40 PM (in response to mscarton)
Prototype scope was introduced into Nucleus in 10.1.1 to support Endeca's cartridge handlers. Every resolveName call for a prototype scoped component gets a separate instance. Not only are instance variables thread safe, but you also don't need to worry about clearing out or reinitializing them the way you would if you used a request scoped component more than once in the same request. As you suggested, overuse of prototype scope can lead to scalability problems. I don't have quick lists of when you should or should not use prototype scope. If you've never felt the need for something like prototype scope, you probably don't need it now.
A prototype scoped component can be referenced from any other scope. Prototype scoped components follow the same reference rules as the non-prototype scoped components that resolved them. For example, if a global component G refers to a prototype scoped component P, the new instance of P will follow the reference rules for global components, meaning P can refer to global components and other prototype scoped components. The basic idea is that you can't cheat your way through the scoping rules by inserting a prototype scoped component in the reference chain.
Window scope was written for the call center applications, CSC and the Knowledge Management product, and is still used for CSC. Window scope was never documented and supported for custom applications, in part because tremendous care has to be applied to the generation of every link in the application.
7. Re: ATG Component Scopingmscarton Jul 10, 2013 4:14 PM (in response to ClareR-Oracle)
Man Clare, that's an amazing response. I hadn't even thought about the inheritance-like nature of the new prototype scope. Just that it made it really easy to bring in non-web oriented libraries for direct exploitation by ATG components, thereby removing the need for a lot of web service calls when direct integration has dramatically better performance, scalability, or reliability.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such an insightful explanation. I really appreciate it.

Loyalty Award
The Alumni Association Loyalty Award was created in 2011 to honor LSUS faculty and staff who have served for at least 10 years. Recipients must have played a strategic role in the advancement of LSUS, and must have given selflessly to the university. They must also have developed unique programs, projects, events or the like during their tenures.
L to R Dr. William Jenkins, Interium President LSU System; Carol Ann Marsala; Chad McDowell; and Dr. Vince Marsala at the Pilots Golf Classic.
2012 Loyalty Awards
Chancellor Vincent J. Marsala, who retired in May 2012 after 45 years of service to LSUS, received the first Loyalty Award of 2012. He was the only remaining original faculty member at LSU Shreveport. Dr. Marsala came to LSUS as an assistant professor in 1967 when the university was a two-year institution. He received his Bachelor's degree from Northeast Louisiana University and his Master's degree in Government and Ph.D in Latin American Studies from LSU A&M. At LSUS, he taught Louisiana History, Louisiana Government, and Latin American History. His service on local, regional and state boards, committees, consortiums and cabinets, including 8 years as Caddo Parish Commissioner, spans four decades. In the words of Dr. William Jenkins, former president and current interim president of the LSU System, "He has enjoyed an extraordinary career at LSU Shreveport. He served with dedication, distinction, and determination, notwithstanding the tremendous challenges that he faced during his term of office."
The Alumni Association also honored Jackie Reed, assistant to the chancellor, for 37 years of service. Mrs. Reed began her employment in August of 1975 as a steno clerk in the Department of Mathematics, where she served for nine years. She then moved to the position of secretary in the library for several years. In 1986, she began a 26-year tenure in the Chancellor's Office as administrative secretary, executive secretary and finally assistant to the chancellor. She served under the direction of three chancellors, Dr. Grady Bogue, Dr. John Darling and Dr. Vincent Marsala.
The final Loyalty Award for 2012 was presented to Carol Ann Marsala, wife of Dr. Vincent Marsala. She was honored as the retiring "First Lady of LSUS." Marsala is a graduate of Northeast Louisiana University and taught school for 20 years, primarily 8th grade Louisiana History at Youree Drive Middle School. She has stood alongside Dr. Marsala at countless events, on campus, in the Shreveport-Bossier community, and at state and regional functions. She serves on the boards of the Red Cross and The Gingerbread House and is a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.
Inaugural 2011 Loyalty Award
The first Loyalty Award was presented to Vice Chancellor for University Development, Glenda C. Erwin, for service to LSUS from 1998 to 2011. Mrs. Erwin played a strategic role in the growth of the LSUS Foundation and its resources during her leadership of the organization from 2004-2011. She has served as the Chair of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, and has been a tireless advocate for Red River Radio and the Dual Enrollment Program at LSUS. She created the first Alumni Association Pilots Golf Classic in 1999 and turned a student's idea into RiverBend Revue the following fall. Both of these successful events enjoy a 15-year history.

'Outrageous' driver faces jail following high speed pursuit
A BENCH warrant was issued for the arrest of a young man who smashed through a barrier at the Limerick tunnel during a high speed pursuit.
Christopher Curtin, aged 19, of Salvia Court, Southill was convicted, at Limerick Court, of multiple road traffic offences relating to an incident on June 5, last.
Garda James Tierney of the divisional traffic corps said he stopped a Volskwagon Passatt being driven by the defendant at Coonagh West on the northern exit of the Limerick Tunnel for a speeding offence shortly after 3pm.
After speaking with the defendant, Garda Tierney said the vehicle then crossed the grass verge and took off at speed in the direction of Ennis.
He said the vehicle reached speeds of around 180kph and that it smashed a barrier at the toll plaza.
The court heard the defendant undertook traffic on the hard shoulder while driving at speeds in excess of 160kph.
At one point the vehicle left the N18 and while being driven by Mr Curtin down a narrow road in an attempt to evade capture narrowly missed two pedestrians who were pushing a buggy.
Mr Curtin then proceeded to drive around the back of a house near Cratloe where two young children were playing at the time.
Garda Tierney said both the pedestrians and the mother of the two children were "extremely traumatised" following the incident.
The court heard that Garda Tierney then ceased the pursuit for health and safety reasons but that the defendant was detected while travelling in a different car on the N18 less than an hour later.
Sergeant Donal Cronin said Mr Curtin, who has 37 previous convictions, was disqualified from driving at the time and was not insured.
After convicting the defendant in his absence, Judge O'Kelly described the incident as "the most outrageous piece of driving" and he said the actions of Mr Curtin had "exposed a number of totally innocent personS to extreme danger".
He said the offence deserves a lengthy prison sentence and he issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Mr Curtin.

First of all, thanks to Krundle for bringing me onto the squad. That out of the way, I'll begin my first poop (er.. post).
After reading JeanPronovost's first post, I realized that my knowledge of the Penguins, while vast indeed, does not hold a candle to those who have seen them play since they entered the league in '67. However, what I find truly fantastic about the sports teams in the city of Pittsburgh, is their ability to transcend the ages by winning. Sure, a Flyers fan can bring up their child to love their team, but they simply haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1975 (their fight before scoring mentality may be responsible, but that may be enough for their fans.) For this reason I feel blessed to have grown up in an era where the Pens have seen so much success. As a young child, my parents brought me up on the Penguins. During the back-to-back cup years, however, I was simply too young to understand the meaning behind the work it takes to win the cup. But as I aged, so did the Pens, and soon after we entered the dark ages. Because I had seen victory at such an early age, and because hockey is such a fast-paced, incredible sport to watch, I did not lose favor with the team as they struggled, still following them on a regular basis. My devotion was highly rewarded this past spring, when we went into hockeytown, raised the cup high, and then came home to our hockeytown. For that reason, I believe the Pens have gained much more than just a championship from their cup win last year. They have gained a newer, stronger, younger fan base. One that will not waiver in the times to come. Hockey knowledge is again becoming common knowledge, and fewer and fewer friends are asking questions about offsides. At an age where I can truly appreciate a Stanley Cup victory, I feel confident that generations to come will feel the same way too. So I look forward to becoming a writer for this site, hopefully offering insight from a different vantage point, while maintaining a love for the Penguins that so many have felt before me.

Obedience trials test an Italian Greyhound's ability to perform a set of exercises. In each exercise,
a dog/handler team must score more than 50% of the possible points and accumulate a total score (for all of the exercises) of at least 170 out of a possible 200. Each time your dog scores the 170 qualifying score, he has gotten a "leg" toward his title. After three legs, your dog has become an obedience titled Italian Greyhound. There are three levels at which your dog can earn a title with the levels increasing in difficulty. The three levels of competition are Novice, Open and Utility. The first level, Novice, results in your dog earning a Companion Dog (CD) title. Your dog will have to heel both on and off leash at different speeds, come when called, and stay still for a simple physical examination and with a group of other dogs. The second level, Open, results in your dog earning a Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title. At this level, the leash is off and jumping and retrieving exercises are added. The final level, Utility, results in your dog earning a Utility Dog (UD) title. The exercises at this level are the most difficult and require a "thinking" dog. In addition to the jumping exercises, the dog must now also perform scent discrimination tasks.
An Italian Greyhound can be successfully campaigned in the obedience ring. While he is a sighthound and most certainly not as easily trained as most of the herding and sporting dogs one sees in the ring, working an Italian Greyhound can be a challenging and rewarding experience. He is a thinking dog and thinking dogs require thinking handlers. The old method of putting a choke collar on a dog and jerking on his neck for corrections will not work and would be detrimental to an Italian Greyhound. After an Italian Greyhound has learned an exercise, there is usually a reason why he may not perform it in the ring. A thinking trainer will analyze the situation and come to some understanding before correcting the dog.
An IG may never score a perfect 200, but some have scored as high as 199 1/2. Several factors may affect the ability of an IG to achieve an extremely high score. If an IG is looking up at his handler he will often turn his legs to the outside to better balance himself. This may make it appear that they are sitting crookedly, which requires a deduction from their score. Also, with his aloof nature and being a creature of comfort, he will quite often not want to "down" on a cold or uncomfortable surface. Most obedience shows are held in cool places to better accommodate the breeds with coat and an IG finds this extremely uncomfortable and unrefined. He would much rather be on a beach lying in the sun with a nice cool drink beside him!
This author has trained IG's and found it to be a very rewarding experience. There is mutual respect and admiration between the animal and the human. Training an IG will certainly give the trainer more of an appreciation for the charm and wisdom of this delightful little creature.
If you would like more information on obedience training, information about the obedience rules, and to locate training clubs in your area, contact the American Kennel Club (AKC).

The U.S. Postal Service has announced plans to close mail-processing centers in Minnesota and Wisconsin as part of its proposed restructuring to help avert bankruptcy next year.
The four centers the USPS would close in Minnesota are the same ones that it said in September it was studying for possible closure. They are in Bemidji, Duluth, Rochester and Waite Park. In addition, the Postal Service is studying possibly moving some or all of the Mankato processing center's operations to Minneapolis.
Five mail processing centers in Wisconsin targed for closure are in Eau Claire, Kenosha, La Crosse, Portage and Wausau.
Nationwide, the USPS plan would close 252 processing centers and slow first-class delivery next spring.
The Postal Service is planning $3 billion in reductions. The cuts would virtually eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day, a change in first-class delivery standards that have been in place since 1971.
The plant closures would result in the elimination of roughly 28,000 jobs nationwide.

Naomi, sarcasm doesn't help.

And I would point out that consensus has failed to resolve the "sleeping is a problem" and "sleeping is fine" factions at Noisebridge. I think a more equitable voting system for policy would (at least) decrease the factionalism because issues could actually get resolved, instead of being dragged out for years and occasionally exploding into arguments like the sleeping issue has caused.

Hey, Naomi, when you said you are committed to good process, do you mean the process in the bylaws and that the bylaws are not ignorable? (Sorry if you've already answered this in a thread I haven't checked.)

text: Hoylake - British Open champion Phil Mickelson believes his best is yet to come despite recording only one top-10 finish this year.Mickelson won the British Open at the 20th attempt last year at the age of 43, just seven days after picking up his first title on British soil in the Scottish Open.But since then the 44-year-old, dogged by health issues caused by suffering from psoriatic arthritis, has struggled to recapture his best form."Obviously it hasn't been a good year," Mickelson admitted on Monday after returning the Claret Jug to R&A officials ahead of his Open defence at Hoylake."Normally I would be discouraged or frustrated, but I'm just not. I feel like I've had some good breakthroughs in some areas."I haven't had the results, I know I haven't played well. But the parts feel a lot better than the whole right now."I don't know when it will all click together. I don't know if it will be this week, in three weeks or a month or what, but it should be soon."I feel like it's really close to being good. And rather than trying to force it or press the issue, I'm going to be patient. "I'm driving the ball with more confidence and better than I ever have. "I don't know if the stats show it or not, but I know that I am. This has not been a good putting year. I think that's why the results haven't been there."We'll see. That's why we play the game, you just never know."Mickelson's victory at Muirfield 12 months ago made him the third consecutive British Open champion over the age of 40, following on from Darren Clarke at Sandwich in 2011 and Ernie Els in 2012.His main focus is now on winning the US Open, a tournament he has finished runner-up in a record six times, to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in claiming all four major titles.But the world number 13 is quick to deny any suggestion that his motivation to win further titles at the other three majors is on the wane."I actually feel better than I have in years and I've had to work a little bit harder," added Mickelson, who withdrew from tournaments in San Diego and Texas earlier this year with back and muscle injuries respectively."I believe that the next five years are going to be some of the best in my career."Mickelson revealed he keeps last year's final round at Muirfield on tape to watch whenever he needs a confidence boost and he hopes those memories can inspire him to more glory this week."It's just the memories and emotions that took place last year that I created and will have for a lifetime. I'd like to do it again," he said."I'd like to create new memories and new opportunities. And it almost motivates me to work harder and play even more, practice even more because I know there's a finite amount of time."As I look back on my life, I look back on the highlights of last year's tournament, and it brings out the same emotions that I experienced at the time."Tee-off times on Thursday in the first round of the The British Open being held at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake (All times Local, which is GMT +1):(x) denotes amateurs07:25 David Duval (USA), David Howell (Eng), Robert Karlsson (Swe)07:36 Dawie Van Der Walt (RSA), Cameron Tringale (USA), Masanori Kobayashi (Jpn)07:47 Chris Wood (Eng), Matthew Jones (Aus), Bernd Wiesberger (Aut)07:58 Hyung-sung Kim (Kor), Erik Compton (USA), Marc Leishman (Aus)08:09 Koumei Oda (Jpn), Ben Martin (USA), Anirban Lahiri (Ind)08:20 Brooks Koepka (USA), Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Tha), Edoardo Molinari (Ita)08:31 Fredrik Jacobson (Swe), Branden Grace (RSA), Ashley Chesters (Eng)08:42 Justin Leonard (USA), Ben Curtis (USA), Paul Lawrie (Sco)08:53 Ryan Moore (USA), Francesco Molinari (Ita), Thorbjorn Olesen (Den)09:04 Matteo Manassero (Ita), Bradley Neil (Sco), Mikko Ilonen (Fin)09:15 Thomas Bjorn (Den), Patrick Reed (USA), Stewart Cink (USA)09:26 Tom Watson (USA), Jim Furyk (USA), Darren Clarke (NIR)09:37 Luke Donald (Eng), Rickie Fowler (USA), Sergio Garcia (Spa)09:53 Paul Casey (Eng), Harris English (USA), Matthew Every (USA)10:04 Tiger Woods (USA), Angel Cabrera (Arg), Henrik Stenson (Swe)10:15 Charl Schwartzel (RSA), Padraig Harrington (Irl), K J Choi (Kor)10:26 Hideki Matsuyama (Jpn), Rory McIlroy (NIR), Jordan Spieth (USA)10:37 Ian Poulter (Eng), Dustin Johnson (USA), Jimmy Walker (USA)10:48 Matt Kuchar (USA), Graeme McDowell (NIR), Louis Oosthuizen (RSA)10:59 Hunter Mahan (USA), Stephen Gallacher (Sco), Victor Dubuisson (Fra)11:10 Nick Faldo (Eng), Todd Hamilton (USA), Mark Calcavecchia (USA)11:21 Brett Rumford (Aus), Ryan Palmer (USA), Tomohiro Kondo (Jpn)11:32 John Singleton (Eng), Peter Uihlein (USA), Marc Warren (Sco)11:43 Paul Mckechnie (Sco), Kristoffer Broberg (Swe), Juvic Pagunsan (Phi)11:54 Rhein Gibson (Aus), Brian Harman (USA), Hyung-tae Kim (Jpn)12:05 Oscar Floren (Swe), Chris Hanson (Eng), Yoshinobu Tsukada (Jpn)12:26 Matthew Southgate (Eng), James Mcleary (Sco), Hiroshi Iwata (Jpn)12:37 Roberto Castro (USA), Victor Riu (Fra), Tyrrell Hatton (Eng)12:48 Dong-kyu Jang (Kor), Nick Watney (USA), Shawn Stefani (USA)12:59 Y.E.

I have the wonderful luxury of having a entire room dedicated to craftiness. This room is a new concept for me. Up until I moved into my house 1.5 years ago I always lived in small apartments, which definitely did not come with a craft room. The way I store and organize my craft supplies now is how I did it back then. Now I can just leave things a mess and close it behind a door! For the record, my craft room is never as tidy as it is in these pictures!
Boxes for different types of craft supplies – These let you pull out exactly what you need for a project without having to get EVERYTHING out. Also lets you tidy up a bit when you leave a project out, just by closing the boxes. I also chose green boxes over clear plastic ones so it looked nicer to have them out on a shelf or table. Plus I think that seeing what's inside clear boxes just further clutters the room.
Low profile drawers for storing larger things and active projects – I fit these drawers under my dining room table for a time (they also worked as an extra chair and side table). I saved the top drawer for an active project that I needed to temporarily put away.
Binders to gather supplies – I'm storing more and more things in Evernote and on my computer, but I've still got some paper manuals and ideas I've pulled out of magazines. Individual binders for separate topics helps me to actually find them again.
Wall shelves to use verticle space – In my apartments, I hung these shelves high along the ceiling to utilize space above tables, couches, etc. I never had room for a bookshelf or something to go on the floor.
Folding fabric cutting board – For making curtains in one small apartment, I went outside and layed this in my front yard to get enough space to cut my fabric. In a small space, most of us don't have a large flat surface for cutting fabric, including maybe not even enough floor space. Sometimes, you need to think outside the box (or apartment).
Dry erase & bulletin boards – for capturing ideas and hanging instructions to keep the workspace clutter free.
Large flat workspace – Nice for crafts with large pieces. Wrapping presents is great here too
High workspace – Sometimes I like to work while standing. The butcher block top is also nice because I can pretty much destroy it and it holds up well.
Ribbon storage – I have a closet, so I'm trying to take advantage of it by hanging some supplies. This pants hanger allows easy access to the ribbon, and they're easy to change too.
Gift wrap storage – I found this great wrapping paper storage from the container store. I try to keep two neutral papers (good for birthdays, baby gifts, and other events) and a couple Christmas papers.
Glass jars for small stuff – I use these vases (dollar store!) to hold things I get into frequently but are also colorful to add a little style to the room. Paintbrushes are tall, and a pain to store any other way.
Rails – keeps tools and frequently used materials close at hand but off the work space. I got these at Ikea.
Closet- I could probably do a better job of using this closet space more efficiently, but putting a cheap bookcase in there was a quick and easy was to improve usable storage space. The closet gives me a space to store all of my awkward things that can't fit nicely into boxes and totes.
My lapel pin collection – I've been collecting lapel pins from my travels since I was in elementary school. To both display them and keep them organized, I've just tacked a ribbon to the wall and spaced out the pins along the ribbon. What I love about it is that it takes up almost no room and is a good reminder of all my vacations!
Fun Colors & Style – The color combination of light blue, green and black was actually inspired by a chair I have (which is no longer in the room). I wanted bright, fun colors since this is a creative space. I also hung some more personal items (like diplomas) that I don't necessarily want displayed in other parts of the house. It's still evolving, but it's great to have a room just for creativity!
Hey look, my craft room was also featured on Unclutterer as the "Workspace of the Week"!
How do you store your craft supplies?

Jake's Wake
by John Skipp & Cody GoodFellow
Review by Drew Bittner
Leisure Mass Market Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 9780843960761
Date: 30 December 2008 List Price $7.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
When Jake Connaway, cable TV preacher and serial adulterer, was killed by a jealous husband, people thought that was that.
Unfortunately, it wasn't.
Jake's Wake, by John Skipp and Cody Goodfellow, follows the events of Jake's last hours, and what happened after. As mourners gather at the Connaway home, where his wife Esther tries to resolve her complex feelings over Jake's murder, a strange confluence of forces is about to occur.
The mourners include Jasper, Christian and Evangeline, who have their own reasons for wanting to see Jake in a pine box; Edgar, the handyman, who stays out of devotion and something more; Emmy and Mathias, the holy rollers who were sucked into believing Jake's ministry; and others who will be a little late to the party.
On the TV, breaking news tells of a massacre at the funeral home where Jake was being prepared for burial... and not long after, Jake himself walks into his former home, stitched up and reeking of formaldehyde. He's risen from the dead and plans to enjoy it for all its worth. Backed up by the homicidally psychopathic Grey, Jake terrorizes and brutalizes the handful of people in attendance, inflicting hideous injuries both physical and psychological upon them.
Is Jake's return proof that God is dead and the Devil is in charge? What do the apparitions flickering around inside the house mean, and what do they want? As Jake's reign of terror approaches its horrifying culmination, a reckoning lies ahead--one that none in that house could ever have imagined.
Skipp (one of the founding fathers of the explicit "splatterpunk" horror of the 1980s) and Goodfellow do not stint on the blood and gore in Jake's Wake. The violence is graphic, a hard R in movie terms, with some unsettling imagery not just in the here and now, but also in Jake's memory. (Hearing some of this from Jake himself, another character realizes that it doesn't excuse Jake's madness, but does explain some of it.)
Jake is a larger-than-life figure. Possessing almost inhuman charisma, he is able to bend people to his will with frightening ease. He charms, uses and discards women--some to slake his lust and others to fill his wallet--and he's never had to pay the price. Skipp and Goodfellow do a terrific job of creating this monster, infusing him with ego (hey, who wouldn't feel pretty darn special after rising from the grave?) and a psychotic willingness to do whatever he pleases.
The three women who figure most prominently in the story are a study in contrasts. Esther, his long-suffering wife, knows fairly well what kind of man Jake is, but never left him; she's lost the ability to impose her own will on the world, having been subjugated by Jake for so long. Even the support of Edgar isn't enough to snap her out of it when Jake returns.
Emmy, one of Jake's true believers, struggles to reconcile Jake's words from the pulpit with his monstrous depravity. Witnessing two horrific murders, she is lost when her spiritual compass goes astray.
And Evangeline, the former hooker, agonizes over her lingering love for Jake and her recognition of what he truly is. Much like Esther, the contradiction tears her apart.
Although there are moments of false hope, ultimately the outcome rests in the hands of Jake's victims. Unless they can find the ability to resist the undead maniac Jake has become, the long night of Jake's return may be the last for them... and the world.
Skipp and Goodfellow deliver a blood-soaked powerhouse, one that rockets from the first page through the last with many a gut-punch in between. It's hardcore horror, with no apologies, and it'll leave an indelible impression long after the last page is turned.

The weekend will consist of 9 games for each of us: 3 in a singles tournament, 3 in a doubles tournament and 3 in a 4 member team tournament. Sunday evening will be a banquet and there are cash prizes for best games. It is a handicapped tournament, so we all have a shot at winning if we bowl as well or better than our averages.
Honestly, I could give a flying pig if we win anything. I am excited about getting away for the weekend, going on our first "couples excursion" with Matt and Patrick (and bowling with them) and meeting a whole bunch of new people.
Oh, and, yeah, I do kinda like bowling. It's fun.
Look for picture updates including the four of us in our Team T-Shirts I made for the weekend sporting the logo Matt and I designed for the GREAT Team name Jeffrey came up with:
Woohoo. Now I gotta go shower, shave, get dressed and pack. Jeffrey won't let me travel naked 😦

Well, "a > b < c d < e" means an element "e" that is parent of "d", descendant of "c", parent of "b", child of "a" because b should be child of "a" and "c" at the same time, this doesn't match anything, but it is not difficult to read, if you read starting from the last token (as you do with current selectors) If you written "a b < c d < e", that means "e" parent of "d", descendant of "c", parent of "b", descendant of "a", actually matches an element in the following tree A any element C B any element E <-- this is matched D This may be solved as well with classes instead of complex tree navigation, but it may be necessary where classes are not available (eg. pure XML). Furthermore, I'm not personally against a :matches pseudoclass (in addition of # placeholder) just I expected it to be "element matches selector contained in pseudoclass", not just element is "parent or sibling", and this can be very expensive at computation time (at least linear on number of element matching the selector without pseudoclass), while instead <, <<, - and -- can be optimized Frex, I expect that in selector "myancestor #my-id", first UA gets #my-id (only one element, found from ID map), then finds a myancestor some where in the tree, without travelling all the DOM: this means that fast ways to get from child to parent - ancestor. For siblings, the concept is similar: UAs already optimized +, I don't think it is much of runtime expense to use the same patterns but to select a different element.

HOME › Research Insight › Pharmaceutical Excipients Market: Organic Chemicals in the Product Segment and Fillers & Diluents by the Functionality Market Continues its Dominance in the Market
Pharmaceutical Excipients Market: Organic Chemicals in the Product Segment and Fillers & Diluents by the Functionality Market Continues its Dominance in the Market
The global pharmaceutical excipients market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period of 2016-2021. Demand for the utilization of functional excipients for manufacturing drugs, recent (and impending) patent expiries of several blockbuster drugs, advancement of nanotechnology, and emergence of new pharmaceutical excipients for the pharmaceutical industry are contributing to the growth of the pharmaceutical excipients market.
The organic chemicals segment dominated the pharmaceutical excipients market in 2015. This segment is expected to register the highest growth in the forecast period of 2016-2021. The oleochemicals segment of organic chemicals accounted for the maximum share, followed by carbohydrates, petrochemicals, and proteins.
On the basis of functionality, fillers & diluents accounted for the major share of the pharmaceutical excipients market in 2015. Lubricants & glidants are expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The growth of the fillers and diluents market is attributed to the increased use of fillers and diluents in the development and production of solid oral drugs. Tablets are the most popular forms of dosage due to their advantages for both manufacturers and patients.
Among formulations, oral formulations accounted for the major market share in 2015. The tablet subsegment of oral formulations dominated the market in 2015. Owing to the shrinking pipeline of new chemical entities (NCEs), companies are increasingly focusing on the development of orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) and other novel methods of oral drug delivery. There is also a growing trend towards the formulation of sachets. The topical formulations segment is projected to register the highest CAGR, mainly due to the rising demand for products like transdermal patches and self-adhering transdermal drug delivery systems (TDS).
In 2015, Europe accounted for the largest share of the global pharmaceutical excipients market, followed by North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Switzerland represented the largest market for pharmaceutical excipients in the European region in 2015, primarily because it is the largest producer of pharmaceutical drugs in Europe, in volume. Increasing investments into the development of novel drug dosage forms and constant efforts to provide superior-quality and compliant products in the market space are the major factors responsible for the large shares of North America and Europe in the global pharmaceutical excipients market. Asia-Pacific is projected to grow at the highest rate in the market, due to rising healthcare awareness, growth in the generic drugs market, large pool of scientific talent, and well-defined R&D infrastructure.

With Iman Shumpert and Ronnie Brewer currently dealing with injuries, the New York Knicks don't have much depth at shooting guard and can't afford another loss.
Entering training camp, the Knicks had just one healthy shooting guard with a guaranteed roster spot, but it appears as though the Knicks might have to consider other options as J.R. Smith missed practice on Thursday with an ankle injury that was described as sore.
The Knicks had free agent Tracy McGrady come in for a workout during the offseason and are rumored to be interested in free agent Josh Howard. There have been reports that the Knicks had recent conversations with Howard's representatives.
However, if the Knicks were to decide to sign a free agent, they would have to cut one of their players with a non-guaranteed contract since the Knicks have already handed out 20 training camp invitations, the maximum amount allowed for a team.
Rasheed Wallace is the most notable name of the Knicks with non-guaranteed contracts and appears to be the favorite to land one of the Knicks' final two guaranteed roster spots. Chris Smith is the player most people expect to get the other roster spot, but John Shurna has had a strong camp so far.
Another option for the Knicks could be free agent Maurice Evans, who averaged 4.9 points while shooting 37.8-percent with the Washington Wizards in 24 games off of the bench last season. Evans played under Knicks head coach Mike Woodson during his time with the Atlanta Hawks.
Assuming Shumpert will return healthy by midseason, the Knicks could eventually move Brewer to small forward, where he would provide a defensive upgrade when the Knicks choose to give Carmelo Anthony a break. Howard can play guard/forward too, so it's possible that the Knicks could sign him.

Masoor Dal & Raita
So we've decided to cut out mass produced meats from our diet.
Yup... me... Queen Carnivore of the World... is reducing meat from her diet.
Not because I buy into the evangelical preachings of PETA, or because I believe ZOMG animal fats are POISON (I'm pretty sure the human race would have died out long ago if that were the case). My reasons are simply because the meat "industry" is destroying part of our human culture (farming), and killing off entire species and replacing them with quite unnatural meat producing science projects. Creatures that are treated just like that, a product, an invention. I just want to do my part to help support those farmers who are literally fighting the fight to keep some quite ancient traditions, and breeds, alive.
We had for the most part already cut out big industry beef by purchasing our beef from Peter at Running River Ranch... but I was still buying tyson chicken and mystery pork.
So as of last week, our meals have been mostly veggies bought at our local produce market (that specializes in local organic produce), as well as fish bought from our fish market, which also sources all of its fish from local fishermen. Thank you Florida waters!
And for the occassional treat, I've been seeking out local farmers who raise and pasture feed heritage breeds, such as the beef bacon I scored at the farmers market. Still trying to find a source for chicken however. In any case, besides fish, meat will be a rare, maybe weekly event on our table.
All of this brings us to last nights dinner, which will probably become a staple as Dave is a huge curry fan! So flavorful and so filling. I've decided there is something mentally wrong with people who don't like Indian food!! ;)
Masoor Dal
- 1 cup red lentils
- 1 half large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger root, minced
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato puree
- 2 cup peas
- Wash the lentils in cold water until the water runs clear, put the lentils in a pot with water to cover and simmer covered until lentils tender - approx 30 minutes.
- While the lentils are cooking: In a saucepan, saute the onions and garlic in vegetable oil.
- While the onions are cooking, combine the curry paste, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, salt, sugar, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Mix well. When the onions are cooked, add the curry mixture to the onions and cook over a high heat stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree and reduce heat, allow the curry base to simmer until the lentils are ready.
- Drain the lentils and mix them and the peas into curry base and serve immediately.
Cucumber and Tomato Raita
This recipe is ridiculous easy... you pretty much don't even need a recipe.
I use greek yogurt, about a cup, dice up about a quarter of a cucumber and a quarter of a tomato
and blend it into the yogurt, adding a bit of water until its a consistency I like.
You can mix all sorts of stuff into a raita for different flavors, cilantro, cumin, even fruit. It is usually served to help soften the blow of the spicy curry. ;)

Curious about reloading with lead cast projectiles in a 25/06 but unsure of loads or powders? The following is a blog of my load testing and the results I achieved, warts and all! It's an ongoing project and one that I will add to over time with various updates, be it powder or alloy mix.
I've owned my Ruger MK77 Model II in 25/06 for near on 20 years, it was my first hunting rifle. I've successfully hunted fallow deer, pig, goats and wallabies with the trusty old girl. She is in very good condition and has been well looked after. It is fitted with a Leupold VXI 3-9 and has recently been threaded for a Gunworks suppressor.
The suppressor incorporates an internal muzzle break and has made a massive difference to the rifle.
The suppressor is now an integral part of my reloading, hunting and paper punching.
I had been giving some thought to how well the 25cal would take to lead cast projectiles ever since I began casting for my 308 and 303's. So when the opportunity for a group buy on the "Cast Boolit Forum" came up I jumped at the chance and got a mold.
I purchased a NOE mold, a 4 cavity mold with the ability to make a flat nose 87gr, a hollow point 116gr and 2 flat nose 120gr projectiles at a time. The quality of the mold was superb.
After a bit of further research, I found that many cast projectile reloaders made reference to M dies by Lyman as a means to increase their accuracy. The dies are neck expanding dies that flare the neck of the case, it allows the projectile to easily enter the mouth of the case without shaving any of the projectile. A quick call to the guys at reloaders supplies and one was on its way.
Recently I had been on a road trip with Jeff in which we picked up about 300 kg of lead. So from this lot I cooked up a test batch of lead, a mix of wheel weight, Linotype and tin.
I made up a batch of the projectiles, sized them and Jeff and I tested them in respects to their hardness. Now the test showed that the lead I had produced a lead projectile that had a hardness of 10 brinell.
The next step was to set up the dies and work out the load data. The powder that I am going to first test will be Alliant 2400.
A search on the web initially didn't give me a lot to work from in the way of reloading data. And let's be honest here the 25/06 may not be the ideal round to tinker with as it's designed as a flat shooting fast projectile driven at good sturdy velocities, but its all a learning curve.
So I went back to the basics and checked what was safe and the pressures that I could expect to work to and with. being mindful that the lead alloy mix wasnt super hard.
SAAMI gave the 25/06 a max pressure of 63,000 PSI, roughly 53,000 CUP.
Now the load data that I had for a similar projectile of 112gr gave a range of 23.5 gr – 32 gr with a pressure CUP range of between 31,300 through to 49,000. So well under max as indicated by SAAMI. But to be honest that wasnt my real concern, that was how much pressure the lead could take. It was going to be what the lead could take that would in the end dictate how this was going to pan out
But my main aim ultimately is to achieve a balance of velocity coupled with uniformed mushrooming effect (due to the lead alloy make up) as well as accuracy.
My test loads would start at 24gr and run at .5 grain increments, my first batch would consist of 3 rounds at 24gr, 24.5gr, 25gr, 25.5gr, 26gr and 26.5gr and be fired at 50 meters.
The round had a coal of 79.66mm or 3.136 inch, the projectile measured 1.004inch and weighed 116. The lube used was Beavergrease Lube and copper gas checks from Blammer from the Cast Boolit forum. The brass was federal brass that was tumbled, sized, trimmed to length, primer pocket squared up and cleaned, the flash whole debured, case neck deburred. I use RCBS full length sizer as well the Lyman M die. The primer is a CCI large rifle primer No 200.
I will post results as I go, but hopefully this will be of use to other 25cal owners.
Warts and all results promised!
Well for this to be of any use to other reloaders I need to show all the results, warts and all!So in order to help people who share the same interest and goals, I will post images and results of all tests, from this you can take what you want and hopefully learn from my trials.
Well today was not the result one would have liked however it was a blessing as it has been a very good lesson in pressure and what the lead could handle.
Have a look at the photos, they show the results of the loads that I made up. They are as I described earlier.
It's not often that my range book reads "Test group 1 24gr, SHOCKING – felt hard on bolt turn, very poor group – no sign of pressure – case extracted fine" "Test Group 2 24.5gr shocking group again same as above" the rest merely reiterated the general gist of the whole days shooting. BUT when you think about it its possibly the best (alternative) result I could have hoped for!
Whilst I didn't have the benefit of using a chrono, the loads that I made were travelling in the region of and in excess of 2200fps. The loads that I were shooting were not handling the pressure. A bit of further research indicates that for loads that are traveling around 1800fps an alloy with a hardness of around 12-14 is needed. What I made was just not up to the job….so now we look at the other end of the spectrum 18 – 21 grains. However the whole exercise was a good graphical way of showing the limits of lead.
One other aspect I could look into later will be the actual depth of the hollow point and how that affects the round, but that's jumping the gun so to speak, right now im off to the garage to turn off the tumbler, tidy up some primer pockets and set up the bench to carry on tomorrow. The load will be the same as last time but with the following loads 18gr, 18.5gr, 19gr, 19.5gr, 20gr, 20.5gr, and 21gr.
It appears that less is more! the 18gr gave a 1.6 in group the 18.5gr gave two round side by side then the third round went out to lunch, as with the rest of the loads. But reassuringly they all grew in spread with the increase in powder load. So now I will make 17gr and 17.5gr and test those two loads. After that, if things are not improving I will play with seating depth and after that then look at another powder! but just for laughs I will run the best group over a chrono just to see what was going on. But at this stage, ADI 2206H looks like the next powder to test!
07/02/12 : Wow have I been slack…. I'm off to the garage later this afternoon and dust of the 25 cal dies. After some further research, readings and playing with Alliant 2400 in other cal's im going to make up some test loads in and around 14grs and see whats happening there. I think ive been pushing the projectile way too hard. I'm not giving up on the 2400 just yet. It has had some extremely promising results in my .303, not saying that it will automatically work in my 25 cal, but its worth exploring!
I will also have to see how many projectiles I have, I am not exactly sure how many 116gr hp projectiles are left. I may have to use my 120's? That will be no real major problem as It will still give me some data and results to work from any way.
Well, as fortune would have it, I had enough to do 13, 14, 15 and 16gr with one spare. That went soon as I didn't check my seating die which was seriously out. After re-reading this blog im going to be interested in the velocity and expansion of the projectile that this range of powder is going to produce. It will also be interesting what can be achieved with heat treating the lead to make it harder and if I can push it a bit harder?

Oh my god! With all of the things that I had to do in school so far, I'm surprised that I have the time to do this at all! As with most people in the Fan Fiction area, this is contestshipping with May and Drew in the Zuki Region. Don't worry, I brung back old favorites like Misty, Brock, and Max, even Team Rocket is back on the scene! But they don't appear every show like in the anime- They're simply rivals that appear at times during the season, since I want a different idea for every Pokemon Contest.
That's right . . . There is a new bad-guy organization in this anime series, and the leader of it may shock you. I think that I should spoil it for you as this should be like, the commercial for the season . . . The leader is Harley! Yes, Harley is my favorite Pokemon human character from the anime series. He has an entire team of staff that he hired that constantly try to beat May and Drew during their adventures throughout the Zuki Region.
Here's the prolouge for you, which is when May and Drew realize that they got tickets to travel to the Zuki Region from an unknown person . . .
Rated: PG-13 because of something very evil that happens later.
The scene takes place two months after the last grand festival that May and Drew were in, the Orchida Festival in the Contesta region. It is a cold, winter day in the Hoenn region, where May is presently living with her family in the Petalburg Gym.
"It's so cold," May complained, "And I'm so bored!"
"What's the matter, dear?" May's mom asked her, whose name was Caroline, "You could go outside and play with Max, I mean, he just got home from his adventures in the Hoenn region ever since he became a trainer of his own."
"No mom. It's freezing outside," May replied, "And Max was always serious before he became a Pokemon Trainer. Now that he's a successful one, he's going to become an even more serious person, and you know how I hate people that don't hang loose."
"I guess that you have nothing better to do," Caroline smiled, "Maybe something will come up soon and then you'll have a place to go."
*DING DONG!* The door bell ringed.
Caroline had a curious face on, "Hmm...I wonder who could it be?" She came to the door and then opened it. There was a man in a brown cloak with purple hair and a green hat on; He was strangely familiar, "And who might you be?"
The man chuckled, "I'm a friend of a friend- That's what you can consider me as," he said in a girlish voice. It was a girly voice, but it was still close enough to be a man, "I have a letter for your daughter, May."
Caroline giggled, "Are you a boy or a girl?"
The man in the cloak suddenly got all serious and had a red face. He removed his cloak, and it revealed Harley! "I'm a boy...What do you think?"
Caroline laughed more, "It wasn't supposed to be a serious question- I was kidding! Now what did you say that you came here for?"
Harley's face became less red, "I have a letter here for May- Can you give it to her for me?"
"Sure, Ill give it to her right away . . . It's nothing so bad, now is it?"
"Of course not, Caroline! I would never try to do something like that to your dear and perfect daughter! And don't tell her that it was me that gave the letter to her, okay? Keep this on the DL for me, okay? We can't have anybody ruining the surprise for her, now can we?"
"Of course not, Harley. But how come you don't want me to tell May that you gave this letter to her?" Caroline asked, "I mean, you're one of her friends so I think that she should at least know that it was from you, right Harley?" Caroline was always one of the forgiving people and she didn't think of Harley as a bad-guy even though he lied and cheated May many times in the past and even tried to rape her once when she was in the Contesta region! She was so forgiving that it was dangerous.
Harley laughed hysterically, "Oh how can I even think of doing something like that to her? Lying to her that somebody gave her a letter that she doesn't know who gave it? That's horrible. But that's not the point. Can you give it to her as a surprise? I'm sure that she'll find out that the letter was from me eventually. Pretty please? Pretty please?" Harley was on the ground pretend-begging Caroline.
"Of course Harley."
"Oh really?" Harley got all peppy, "Thank you so much for doing me this favor!" He ran off into the snowy areas until he was out of sight.
"Aren't you cold, Harley?" Caroline was always concerned about everybody's welfare, even if that person wasn't a part of the family, "Oh well...Harley told me not to tell May that it was from him. I might as well read it to see if it is something appropriate for her." Caroline opened the letter, and it revealed a sheet of paper with a green-tone color on it. She began reading it and this is what the letter said:
Dear May,
I think that you know who this letter is from!
It's me! I want to keep you guessing who sent this mail so that you can be that much more surprised when you find out who sent it. Happy times, right?
Have you ever heard of the Zuki region?
I heard that you're freezing cold from the winter in the Hoenn Region right now so I thought, why not give you free tickets so that you can go to the Zuki region?
The scenary there is awesome and it is summer all year long there- Don't you think that's cool? Well, not as cool as the Hoenn Region since it's freezing cold over there but you get what I mean.
Have fun there! And yeah, there's nothing but Pokemon Contests in that region like the Contesta Region so if you want to go and have fun, feel free to! All you have to do is meet me in Dewford Town so that we can take the S.S Atlanta there.
Your friend,
You know who
"Hmm..." Caroline murmured, "What am I thinking? Why am I mumbling? I'm so jealous of May? She gets to go to a region that's summer all year long and I have to freeze to death here in the Hoenn Region? I shouldn't do anything to ruin this wonderful moment that May is going to receive so I might as well give this to her!" Caroline said with rising excitement for May.
She walked into the Petalburg City Gym, "May? Where are you? I have some super good news for you!"
May ran into the living room where Caroline was right now, "Anything's better than what's going on right now. So what do you have for me?"
Caroline gave May the letter and the ticket that was attached to it.
"What's this?" May wondered, "It looks like a letter."
"It is," Caroline replied, "Open it!"
May did as her mom asked of her, "Dear May..." She began reading it outloud and when she was finished with the letter, she got all excited, "Yay! A trip to the Zuki region might be a fun one!"
"I knew that you would be happy if you read that letter I gave you," Caroline said, "Are you going to get ready so that you can go to that region?"
May laughed, "Of course!" She ran to her bedroom, which was on the left side of the Gym's Arena and immediately startrf packing her stuff, "I can't wait till I get to that region! Anything's better than the Hoenn Region, with all the snow there and such."
Max was walking down the hallway when he saw May, which he then walked into the room, "What are you doing, May?"
May was easily annoyed by Max, even if it was an innocent question, "Packing up, what do you think?"
Max reached down and picked up the ticket that was on the floor, "Ohh...I see what you mean. You're going to the Zuki Region, aren't you?"
"What do you think? You could read, right?"
"Can I come too? I mean, if you get to go on vacation, then I think that your nice little brother should get a chance to go somewhere like that also," Max got on the floor and began begging, "I got back from the Hoenn League and the least I deserve is a vacation to a nice place like the Zuki Region . . . And I miss traveling with you, May.
May looked confused, "I thought that you were going to the Orre Region next- I mean, that place is always scorching hot, so you can go there if you want to warm up, Max. And wait . . . You would never miss me, Max! And whenever you and me are together, we always end up in an immature fight!"
Max false chuckled, "Oh yeah . . . The Orre region . . . That will be a nice place to vacation..." He said fakely, "You're a great big sister and I'm sure that I don't deserve to go along with you on an adventure like that! You're the perfect bigger sister, you know that, May? And my favorite . . . "
May knew that Max would never say something like that, "Yeah right . . . Anyways, don't you have anywhere to go right now? Like pack up your stuff so that you can go to the Orre region? And what do you mean your perfect bigger sister? You're always telling me what I can do better whenever you see me compete in some kind of competition, always being so pessimistic towards me . . . Yeah, and don't say that I'm your favorite sister because I'm your only sister, in case you forgot that, Max."
Max had already left the room without telling May that he did so.
"Max? Where did you go?" May looked surprised, "What's up with that boy? Oh yeah, this is Max we're talking about."
Max was walking in the Petalburg City Gym hallway muttering to himself, "I'll get to the Zuki Region wheather May likes it or not," Max's glasses suddenly shined, Japanese anime style, "She'll regret not inviting me when I beat her in a Pokemon Contest! But how can I get into the Zuki Region without having any tickets so that I can board the ship that will take me there? That's a big problem . . . I'll have to find some way around that if I want to get back at May for not letting me come with her to the Zuki Region willingly."
In Slateport City, where Drew was in one of his many mansions that he brought from using money that he earns from his popularity and by winning Pokemon Contests, was sunbathing outside on his own personal beach with his Roselia by his side, "It's another day of boredom, right Roselia? Look at me, I"m trying to sunbath while it's winter...Isn't it sad?"
"Rose," Roselia said, agreeing.
"Yep, wish that there was something better to do than stay out here freezing all day," Drew sighed, "Wish there was a Pokemon Contest around that I can enter but it looks like non of them are open at the time . . . You think that there would be at least one open during the winter so that coordinators that are bored like me can compete in them . . . "
Roselia nodded in agreement, and in disappointment, as it always loved to compete in Pokemon Contests.
*RING RING RING!* It was Drew's phone on the inside of his mansion, "I really don't want to get up right now," Drew closed his eyes, "Look at me...I say that I want to do anything and I don't even want to get up and pick up the phone . . . "
One of Drew's maids got the phone and handed it over to him, "Here's the phone, sir," She greeted him. The phone was actually a picture-phone, the size of half of a laptop screen.
"Thank you," Drew replied as he held the phone to his ear, "Who is it?"
The person on the phone line had May's voice . . .
On the other side of the phone line, it was actually Harley holding a Voice Changer next to his mouth, a device that could let you change your voice to another person that it recorded! And not only that, but Harley changed his clothes so that it looked identical to what May wore! "Hello, is this Drew?"
"Yes it is," Drew answered, "Are you May?"
"Why yes!" Fake May replied, "And do I have a surprise for you!"
"Why did you dye your hair purple?" The purple hair is what got Drew suspicious, "And your hair is longer than usual if I do say so myself."
"Purple is the new do!" Fake May explained, "And you know, as time passes, I grow! After all, I'm still a developing teenager. That's why you can see that my body is much hotter than usual anyways!"
"I can see that," Drew wasn't buying the act, "Anyways, what could be the surprise that you wanted to tell me?"
"I just got tickets so that you can go to the Zuki Region! May-I mean myself, am going to be heading over there!" Fake May informed, "And I heard that May- I mean me, and you are bored to death from being here in the freezing winter of the Hoenn region! I certainly wouldn't want you to die of boredom, so I decided to give you this extra ticket!"
"Why do you refer to yourself as the third person?" Drew asked suspiciously, "You're more mature than that May- I known you for a long time."
"Oh silly old me," Fake May scoffed, trying to cover up the mistakes that he made, "That's May for ya, I mean me, always making grammar mistakes! Anyways it's always summer there in the Zuki Region, and yes, that's right, Pokemon Contests galore! Don't forget that we're still rivals, Drew!"
Drew stood up excited, "Really?"
"Yes, and all you have to do is meet me here at Dewford Town so that we can take the S.S Atlanta to the Zuki Region, okay?"
"Sure," Drew answered, "See ya," He hung up the phone and put his clothes back on, "What am I thinking, wearing nothing on my chest on a winter day?"
Unlike May, Drew didn't pack up like May, instead, he just left with his Pokemon. When he got to the shore of Slateport City, he threw a PokeBall that revealed Flygon, a dragonfly Pokemon.
"Flygon, can I get you to fly me to Dewford Town?" Drew asked it, "So that we can get to the Zuki Region!"
"Fly!" Drew and Roselia got on Flygon's back and in no time, they made it to Dewford Town. Flygon was supposed to be weak to the snow, it being icy, since it was a Dragon and Ground type Pokemon, but it somehow resisted the snow with no problem.
When Flygon landed on the shore of Dewford Town, Drew and Roselia got off it, "Thanks Flygon, I owe ya one," Drew returned Flygon to its PokeBall, "I wonder where May is? She was the one that asked me to come here, after all," He began scouring the snowy beaches of Dewford Town, and saw May lying on the other side of the beach.
"H-H-Hi Drew," May stumbled as she talked, "Having a-a great time here in the c-cold?"
"What happened to you?" Drew asked, "Did you swim to get to Dewford Town or something?"
May began blushing, "Y-Yeah..."
Drew shook his head, "Tsk, tsk, tsk...I thought that you had a brain cell but now I think that I take that remark back. Your bad and nothing I can do about it."
"I-I just felt like s-swimming, okay?" May got back up, "Let's go find where this ship is."
"May, there's something suspicious going on," Drew stated, "Did you give me a phone call saying that you got tickets so that we can go to the Zuki Region together so that we can have fun there?"
"Of course not!" May exclaimed, "Did you send me a letter saying that you gave me two free tickets and that one of them was for you?" She took out the tickets that came with the letter and gave one to Drew, "This is the ticket so that you can take some ship to the Zuki Region, which is in the letter that I suspiciously received from you"
Drew looked serious, "I think that this is a trap that someone set for us so that they can do something bad to us once we're on the ship."
"Or maybe someone does want us to have fun," May always looked on the bright side, "Who knows, it could have been Max that set us up like this as a prank."
Drew relaxed, "I guess you're right- I have to stop being so serious and let loose once in a while. I mean, you never think before you do anything and look where you are right now, I guess that being absent-minded does have its good points at one time or another."
"I'm just going to pretend that I didn't hear what you just said to me, okay Drew?" May turned her head facing the ocean, "The ship's coming!" May exclained, "Wow...The thing looks so nice...So big and blue and majestic . . . It almost seems like a beautiful person coming to pick us up . . . "
"I see that you're not blind," Drew taunted, "The S.S Atlanta, I wonder how it's going to be while we're in there on the way to the Zuki Region?"
The ship made it to the Dewford Port, where May and Drew were at. It dropped anchor and the bridge that allowed the passengers to enter reached across. May and Drew walked on it to enter the ship. The other Pokemon trainers and coordinators that were waiting at the Dewford Port began entering the vessel as well.
May jumped, "I hope that they have some good food that we can eat there! Some cheeseburgers might be nice, and maybe some pizza might be great as well also! What do you think that we should eat when we get to the 'all you can eat buffet' there?"
Drew chuckled, "Food...Is that all that you can think about whenever we go someplace new? I mean, can't you at least think of the other amazing scenery that you might see on that ship?"
When they entered the ship, Max was behind the cargo and he snuck into the ship, and for some reason, Harley was standing right next to Max, "Thought you can get rid of me, eh May?" They both said in unison, "Well not once I get on that ship and make your life a living hell."
"Hey! What are you doing standing next to me?" They both were surprised.
Harley smirked, then came up with a plan, "You think that me and you can come up with a really cool plan that will make May super-surprised and the trip a blast?"
Max nodded, "Sure . . . "
Next time, on Pokemon: Episode 1 - Don't Rock The Ship!
Had fun reading that? The next show will be about when May and Drew are in the ship, as everything seems well, Harley, Max, and his newly hired minion Orc devise a plan to destroy the vessel that they are on right now . . .
But little does Max knows, he's going to regret being on Harley's side . . .

"See bullies for who they really are. Anger and aggression comes from unexpressed hurt and pain. …Think about what could be going on behind the scenes. Perhaps their parents divorced recently, they have a bully of their own, or they've been abused. Understanding this will help you rise above it."
While we are here we should set goals and achieve them, make the best of things, make others feel good about themselves, and be happy with what we are and what we are doing.

Smoking In Cars With Children Illegal Starting October 1, 2016
Via: www.snopes.com
Fake news site attempts to lure readers with a vague and false article about an imminent smoking ban.
CLAIM: A ban on smoking in cars when children are present will take effect on 1 October 2016.
ORIGIN: In May 2016, the web site Now8News published an article regarding the imminent implementation of a ban on smoking in automobiles when children are present in the vehicle:
Starting October 1, 2016, it will be illegal to smoke in a car or other vehicles, with anyone under the age of 18. The law is changing to protect children and young people from the dangers of secondhand smoke. Both the driver and the smoker in the car could be fined as much as $80. This law applies to every driver, including those age 17 and those with a driving permit.
There was a whole lot wrong with this article; namely that it originated with Now8News, a fake news site that masquerades as a local television news site while publishing fabricated clickbait stories; that the article text makes no mention of where the referenced smoking ban is supposed to take place; and that the article is simply a republication of a previous hoax with the year updated from 2015 to 2016.
In general, the United States has not yet banned on smoking in cars where children are present on a national level, but some state and local governments have done so. The basis of the original Now8News article was a report of a vehicle smoking ban enacted in England and Wales in 2015.

Isabeau's Journal
November, 12 2005
OK, folks-this is the general forum now for questions that don't seem to fit in any of the other threads. I'm going to sort some of the earlier posts into the appropriate forums, but it might take a while, so bear with me. I'll delete the ones that have already been reposted by their authors.
In the back of my mind (of course, being the analytical sort) is the thought that Imrahil *could* have been including his son- and daughters-in-law in that tally. (Since 'Chirion doesn't seem the marrying type, and it would fit what we otherwise know, and Imrahil is that generous of heart.)
Hopefully one day we'll know for sure... (hint, hint!)
I hope you were able to find the other Unabeauverse snippits out of that role-playing game, too - there's a great short story where Imrahil meets up with Caerith again.

Former Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa is being tracked by Real Madrid following his magnificent form for Nice, claims the Ligue 1 club's boss.
The 28-year-old forward has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 18 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season, helping Nice to fifth in the table.
Ben Arfa scored 14 goals in 86 appearances for United between 2010 and 2014 but, after a loan spell at Hull City was cut short after six months, he was released by the Magpies back in January.
Forced to wait six months to play for Nice as a result of FIFA restrictions on representing three clubs in a season, Ben Arfa has been in sublime form this season and has even earned a recall to the France national squad.
Ben Arfa's impressive displays have seen him linked with Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan, but now 10-time European champions Real are supposedly keeping tabs on him, according to Nice boss Claude Puel.
Speaking to the Nice Matin, Puel said of Ben Arfa: "I am not surprised to hear that big clubs such as Real Madrid are keeping tabs on him.
"Hatem has become part of the club, just like Mathieu Bodmer when he joined us from PSG.
"I do not agree with those who say Hatem needs to be at a small club in order to deliver his best performances.
"I hope for him that he no longer plays for Nice next season. The high level he has been playing at is not just some isolated dazzling performances.
"He has been very consistent and has been working very hard."

'The Law Minister has apologised in writing'
"I am in the news even when I keep quiet," says Justice N Santosh Hegde, the controversial Karnataka Lokayukta on a lighter note while commenting on Law Minister Veerappa Moily's recent remarks that the Lokayukta's actions against the corrupt were superficial and that he could do more.
While Moily was quick to retract from his stance, stating that he had been misquoted by the media, Justice Hegde is not amused.
In an interview with rediff.com's Vicky Nanjappa, the Karnataka Lokayukta makes it clear that he would not make life miserable for the Bharatiya Janata Party just because the Congress wants him to do it.
You are back in the news once again...
(Laughs) Yes I am. Do you think it is a good thing (laughs again)?
The Law Minister has said that he was quoted out of context and what was printed was wrong. What do you have to say about this?
The Union Law Minister has apologised in writing. He has also stated the same in the press. So I guess the matter is closed now and I do not think dignity permits me to take the matter forward any more.

'I do not need a certificate from Moily'
He had said that the actions by you are superficial and you are not doing enough. What are your thoughts on this?
I don't think he needs to tell me what I am doing. If he has information then he is free to give it to me. I will act upon it. He is wrong when he makes such statements and I am not the one who has been just issuing statements.
Considering that such a statement is coming from a law minister of the country, how does that make you feel?
I do not need a certificate from him. Let the people of the state give me a certificate. I will be content with that.
Does it put more pressure that such statements are coming from a law minister of the country?
Why should it as long as I am doing my job? It is a democracy and everyone talks and so he is free to talk too. However, when a person in authority talks loosely it is unbecoming of a person holding such a high position. Let him talk statistics and give me information. I will not hesitate to act upon it.

'I won't go after BJP because Cong wants me to'
Do you think Moily has an understanding of the office of the Lokayukta?
(Laughs) He thinks the Lokayukta is all permissive. As a law minister he should know what my powers are and up to what extent I can act. Being in such a position he would do well to give the Lokayukta more powers and enhance the institution instead of making such lose statements. It looks like he has forgotten what my powers are.
Were you representing him in the JMM bribery scam?
Yes I was. Moily has forgotten that I had represented him in that Rs 3.5 crore scam. He should also remember that I had not charged him a single penny when I represented him in that case.
Going by Moily's statements, it appears that he was trying to say that you had not acted upon the scams in which Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa was involved.
He should not talk without knowing the facts. For them it may be politics, but for me it is not. I will act when there is proof and I am not going to make life miserable for the chief minister only because the Congress wants me to.
That is not my job. I will act without hesitation when there is a strong case on hand. I will not step aside from doing that.

Washington (Nov. 15)
American Jews who suffered damages under the Turkish regime in Palestine will now receive compensation as the result of an agreement the United States will sign with Turkey within the next ten days, it was announced here today.
Turkey will pay American claimants damages to the extent of $1,300,000 for losses inflicted by the Turkish army in Palestine during the World War, the agreement provides.
It is estimated that American-Jewish citizens will receive $750,000 in settlement of their claims against the war-time Turkish government.
The claims date from the World War and are primarily for damages suffered by American citizens through acts of the Turkish military forces who destroyed forests and uprooted fruit trees and vines in the Jewish colonies. Much of the damage could not even be excused on the ground of military necessity.
A number of abortive attempts were made by American officials to initiate negotiations with the
