That is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned." The masses seemed to lap it up, and it appears things are going quickly downhill from there.

First off, they are not the rights of the few, but the rights of all! These rights do not come from the Constitution or the government, they do not come from anybody but God. The framers stated this outright and designed the Constitution as an attempt to keep governmental control from interfering with those rights. As has been plainly spoken by many in powerful positions, they believe our rights to be a dispensation of government, thus the U.S. Constitution merely gets in the way and must be changed in order to fulfill the needs of government. Very strange indeed, since it was supposed to be for the needs of "We the People", and not the needs of government.

Second, she obviously knows nothing of U.S history, or she wouldn't be able to make a statement about the founding fathers like that. In fact, it's the exact opposite of what was stated by Benjamin Franklin when in 1775 he said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Unfortunately, the framers of the Constitution forgot to put up safeguards to protect against stupidity.

I apologize for prattling on a bit.

We all know this has absolutely nothing to do with weapons or the furniture they are "adorned" in. It has everything to do with the eventual disarmament of the general population of this nation. And there are only two reasons for it; the first is for control and the second, abject fear.

Much of this comes from the unbiblical belief that men are basically "good" and that the meer presence of something like a firearm can cause an otherwise meek, mild and loving individual to become unhinged and desire to kill.

It is the same lunacy that at the same time chooses to legalize drugs which serve no purpose other than to put people into a stupor. And no; the argument that equates drugs and Alchohol is not even remotely legitimate because there is a reasonable quantity of alchoholic beverage a person can drink without being impaired while the same is not true about drugs. If someone drinks themselves into a haze, it is a question of judgment - not substance.

In any case, this whole discussion is really about whether we choose to remain a free people or simply subjects.

I hear your frustration. This is more of the left press running the country using the same tools they use to win elections.

You are right there is no such thing as an Assault Weapon. As you said, surely you can assault someone with a gun, knife or even a tuna fish sandwich. Hey maybe ATF stands for Assault Tuna Fish?

People hear AR-15 and think it means "Automatic Rifle" or Assault Rifle", but it really is the model number and first two letters of the original manufacturer/designer: ArmaLite.

It drives me crazy to hear all this being pushed. Instead of trying to unarm the good guys, lets teach some good old fashioned self-defense, and not hide in closets when our establishments get attacked.

If I'm in a building and someone comes in with intent to harm... I'm going in fighting, and that's even if I'm alone. I can't imagine someone taking over an entire establishment regardless of how many weapons or what kind they have.

They are trying to make us afraid of guns, but as a martial artist, I've learned that I'd rather face someone with a gun than a kitchen knife... and I mean that.

You'd better be careful what you say about the hammer. Next thing you know they will be banning your Porter Cable finish nailer, and you'll need a license to carry an Estwing.

I transferred my blog to wordpress.org. Now attempting to transfer my domain to Bluehost. Wild West Domains says they cannot help, suggested I email [email redacted] which gets no response. WWD won't answer any questions.
After having to figure out the majority of the steps on my own (please see other recent thread that outlines the frustrations with that due to poorly written copy and answers being all over the place), I am now unable to transfer my domain. It says:
"Error: The domain sarahsambitions.com is ready for transfer, but we are unable to obtain information from the whois server. Try PROBE to see the live data. If the administrative contact information looks clear to you, then contact customer support immediately to investigate the problem, otherwise contact the Current Registrar to have the problem repaired.
The following is the whois that we have on file. If this does not look correct, it is possible that your current registrar (Wild West Domains, Inc.) is blocking our registrar IP ### In this case, please contact them and ask them to whitelist our IP address."
The information is clear and WWD won't help. I unlocked, un-privacy-ed, verified my contact information, sent EPP (which is also called the "Authorization Code" on the page, not the EPP - that copy should be updated as well). I checked externally and the information is all good. So what am I supposed to do now?
The blog I need help with is sarahsambitions.com.

Electric cooperatives remain active in communities, align company and customer visions
May 15, 2011 at 12:15 a.m.
Because electric cooperatives are owned by those they serve, the customers and companies' interests are fairly aligned, said Lindsey Durrett, corporate services division manager with Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative.
"They are our bosses," she said of the customers. "There's no conflict of interest, if you will, on where our focus is."
Cooperatives are not-for-profit organizations, so any margins left over at the end of the year go back to the membership, oftentimes as checks in the mail or bill credits.
Such entities also offer democratic member control, she said, explaining a cooperative's board of directors is elected from the membership. And, because the organizations are local, they remain involved in their communities.
"We sponsor many things like Little League teams," she said. "We will take part in chamber events and allow employees time to participate in community service."
Most people do not have the option to choose between cooperatives and investor-owned companies, said Elgin Janssen, a spokesman with AEP Texas. Generally, where a person lives determines which type of company can offer them electricity.
Port Lavaca resident Henry Saenz and his family do not live in an area where an electric cooperative is an option, but would go that route if possible.
Cooperatives reward their customers for doing business with them more often than other more traditional companies do, he said. Also, his friends who have co-op service tend to pay less for their electricity.
"It's something we would like to do, but we can't," he said. "It isn't possible."

Smoked Porter the Second
In 1999 we made a special beer in honor of the visit from Pope John Paul II to Saint Louis. The beer was a Smoked Porter made with Beechwood smoked malt, similar to a traditional Baltic Porter in Poland, the Pope's homeland. It was an exciting time in Saint Louis and the only time we have strayed from our straightforward beer naming structure. "Holy Smoke Papal Porter" became a celebrity in its own right, generating press all over the country and has remained a celebrated beer name within the Schlafly Brewery community.
Here is a news clip from 1999 about the blessed event.
We have brewed a few Smoked Porters since then, but most have used malt smoked with Cherrywood instead of Beechwood. On Friday January 16th we will release a Smoked Porter, on draft at the Tap Room, reminiscent of the "Holy Smoke Papal Porter" from 1999, brewed with malt smoked with Beechwood.
To the Rauchbier novice, the difference may be slight, but to the smokeaphile, the difference is like night and day. Beechwood gives the beer a definitive smoked meat quality. Smoky bacon notes make this porter a perfect pairing with the infamous Plate of Swine also found at the Tap Room. A Smoked Porter brewed with Cherrywood, while equally delicious, imparts a sharp campfire quality and a slight cola sweetness.
Today, Friday the 16th we tap a beer whose recipe was born 16 years ago. If there's anymore left tomorrow, it'll be a smoky addition to the Cabin Fever lineup at Bottleworks.
This batch of beer was brewed by our Tap Room Brewer Brian Kippenberger and his brother, Matt.

When I planned to write about Tamar Braxton, I intended the focus to be on Love and War, the excruciatingly-long awaited follow up to 2000's Tamar. Tamar has never been too complimentary of her debut project, though I'm not entirely sure why given it was a solid release. Funny enough, her sophomore effort doesn't stray from that album's concept: a mix of classic R&B ballads that could easily be sang by big sister (post The Heat) coupled with sassy uptempos that match the finger rolling, neck rolling, catch phrasing spewing person we've come to learn thanks to reality television. The key difference between Tamar in 2000 and Tamar in 2013 is that the latter offers music more polished in sound and presented with a mightier machine.
I've been wanting to stress the point the album is worth a listen and purchase to those who don't want anything to do with Tamar due to her antics. Then this interview happened. Tamar is always volunteering ways to remind people of what an insufferable, petty shrew she can be at times. Where is Janet Jackson to scream "FIX IT!" when you need her?
I'm happy to see the Love and War perform so well in its first week, but it's mind boggling to see how someone who ought to be happy continue to project such a nasty attitude. I can't even fault "The Breakfast Club" for "baiting" Tamar Braxton because there's really no such thing. She is known for being catty and antagonistic.
She's taken shots at Beyoncé and Joseline Hernandez on Tiny Tonight and uses Twitter to throw digs in the direction of her peers like Alicia Keys and K. Michelle. It'd be one thing if she owned that behavior, but she's feigning victimhood — dismissing K. Michelle's gesture and peace offering while professing herself to be the victim of bullying. I saw her exchange with K. Michelle on the day K. appeared on 106 & Park. Tamar started that by acting as if she is the originator of a Black woman with blond weave and K. Michelle finished it by clowning the absolute shit out of her.
In turn, Tamar pretended to be so above the likes of Joseline and K. Michelle during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live — pretty much on par with what she did in this interview. And yet, she's been "bullied" by K. Michelle because she called her a muppet in response to her calling her a wig thief. So, what about her insinuating that Blue Ivy came out of someone else's vagina and that Joseline doesn't own one?
I'm sick of celebrities bastardizing the world bully. K. Michelle didn't bum rush her, pull out a razor from underneath her tongue and demand that she hand over her blond tresses. She didn't jump on Twitter, berate her for seven hours, make her cry and call Ms. Evelyn who in turned called on Traci to fly up to New York to whoop K. Michelle's ass. None of that happened. All K. Michelle did was bark back at someone who should've kept their nasty comments to themselves.
Did she have to insult her face? No, but did Tamar leave herself open to that? Has she not done a similar line of attack before? The only thing worse than a person who throws a rock and hide their hand is someone who does all of that and behave as if they are the victim of a crime.
If you're so above it all, Tamar, you could've kept it cute, no? Say something along the lines of, "Thank you for the purchase, I'm over it and don't want to talk about her." Instead, she had to act as if she is so much above K. Michelle.
I salute Tamar's success, but sis, you have two TV shows, a major radio hit for your demographic, and a very powerful husband. You also had that album on sale for $4.99 at select online retailers. Smart, yes, but c'mon nah. Yes, you've sold a couple thousand more than K. Michelle, who garnered press from a reality show but used mixtapes to build a genuine following, but is that something to brag on? I wouldn't be surprised if both sold close to if not a little bit over 500,000 units. That's a feat for most acts independent of genre, but particularly good for an R&B artist.
Why can't they just get to the money together?
This pretty much explains a lot of the basis of their lingering tit for tat. As shady as K. Michelle sounds in this clip, Tamar often behaves like a bitchy queen. If you didn't know, most bitchy queens are insecure somebodies looking for validation and all of your attention. When they don't get it as they prefer to receive it, they lash out.
Tamar, I adore thy voice, but you must cut the shit.

Back in March MKS [formerly Sugababes] worked with Dev [of Blood Orange & Solange fame] to release their version of Lamar's "Swimming Pools (Drank)".
Well they've finally decided to haul their multicolored British asses away from said swimming pool and put their dranks down to release another Dev-ine track entitled "Flatline".
Namesake anthem interlude soccer-stadium-esque cameos aside, the 'Babes' voices sound so good it makes me want to weep, but of course my tear ducts are all dried up so this could never happen but you know I'm crying because of my ugly cry-face and the sobbing sounds that come between my sing-a-longing even though I totally don't even know the words yet!

A train rips through blinding, snowy landscapes and pitch-black tunnels in the opening of "O'Horten," and that's the way the rest of the movie goes: Hilarious comedy mixes with bleak sadness.
Horten is a railroad engineer who retires in one of the movie's most uproarious scenes but doesn't say much about what he'll do afterward. That's because he doesn't know. So the rest of the movie features the 67-year-old Norwegian (Baard Owe, who gives a lyrical performance) wandering around Oslo, drifting in and out of the lives of strangers.
And when I say "strangers," I mean they are strange. There's the codger who likes to drive through the streets of the city blindfolded. And the family Horten spies on, entranced by the domesticity he has never known, until one of the kids blackmails him into spending the night. There's the blowhard who wants to buy a boat Horten named after his mom. And there are the people who appear to be making wedding cakes in every shop window Horten passes.
Director Bent Hamer, whose low-key comic sensibility colored his Norwegian "Kitchen Stories" and his American "Factotum," makes most of the scenes in "O'Horten" feel slightly off. While most directors would show us a wide view of a scene, then cut to two people talking in a tighter shot, Hamer does the opposite. So, we see the conversation first, and we don't always know where it's taking place. He's also fond of showing Horten alone in vast places such as fields or train stations.
The result is that the early scenes in "O'Horten" strike us as odd (not coincidentally, Horten's first name is Odd). But the more we understand the loneliness of Odd, the more we see how ordinary his need is: He wants to connect, but he doesn't know how. The strangers he meets are like angels, teaching him what to do next. And in the end, despite all of "O'Horten's" peculiarities, it's revealed the movie is about the simplest, most human thing you can imagine.
Directed by: Bent Hamer
Starring: Baard Owe
Should you go? Quiet and lovely, its subtle pleasures reminded me of Erik Satie's "Gymnopedie." *** 1/2

Methodist minister, Ed began his career in 1943 at First Free Methodist
in Seattle as assistant minister working with U.S. servicemen. He was also
married in 1943 to LOIS CATHEY BUSH '43.
Following graduation, the couple spent 22 years in the Oregon Conference of
the Free Methodist Church. In 1967,
they moved to Washington state where Ed pastored Free Methodist churches
until his retirement in 1981.
The couple then moved to Warm Beach Senior Community. Ed ministered to
residents and served as photographer
and greenhouse gardener for several years. He is survived by his wife, Lois;
children Clare Bush Fleming and
GAYLE BUSH '71; two grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. Ed is
also survived by three brothers,
FOREST BUSH '46, ROGER BUSH '50 and LLOYD BUSH '54.
LESTER H. GROOM, an SPU music faculty member from 1969 to 1991, died March 28, 2000. He was 71. At SPU, Lester taught organ, harpsichord, music theory and composition. He served as organist for many churches throughout his career, including First Presbyterian Church in Seattle from 1979 to 1996. He also enjoyed sharing musical evenings with students in his home and leading tours of pipe organs around Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. Lester is survived by his wife of 44 years, Myrtle; children REBECCA GROOM TEVELDE '78, VERA GROOM LILES '81 and LESTER W. GROOM '84; and three grandchildren.
DOROTHY FRYER WILLIAMSON '39 died March 7, 2000, at the age of 84. Dorothy graduated from Seattle Pacific with a major in psychology and worked as secretary to the president, C.

In 1960, Dorothy resumed work at Seattle Pacific, first as director of student employment and then as director of financial aid. She helped nearly two generations of students to meet their financial needs before retiring in 1980. Dorothy is survived by Clarence; children BETTY WILLIAMSON CHAN '67, DAVID WILLIAMSON '73, ALAN WILLIAMSON '75 and Kenneth Williamson; and three grandchildren.
Editor's Note: In the Spring 2000 issue of Response, we printed a notice of the death of William Hansen '56, professor emeritus at SPU. Although we included the name of his son Gregory, we failed to indicate that Greg is an SPU graduate of 1980. We apologize.

The final recording by the late Amy Winehouse "Body and Soul", a duet with Tony Bennett, was released this morning on MTV and VH1.
To commemorate what would have been her 28th birthday, her father, Mitch Winehouse has launched the The Amy Winehouse Foundation. The foundation's goal is to support charitable activities in both the UK and abroad that provide help, support or care for young people, especially those who are in need by reason of ill health, disability, financial disadvantage or addiction.
Tony Bennett said of Winehouse, "Recording with Amy was just so beautiful, and I knew after singing with her what a true artistic genius she was because she performed with total and complete honesty — that is a very rare quality".
Proceeds from "Body and Soul" will go to benefit The Amy Winehouse Foundation.

Larsson Move Breaks Down
Birmingham midfielder Sebastian Larsson might have blown his move to Newcastle United after the player and the club could not agree personal terms.
The Swede was talking to the Magpies after he could not agree extension contract terms with Blues.
Now the same stunt is being pulled and it may now have cost him a move.
Blues boss Alex McLeish said: 'Newcastle made a bid but I don't think Seb could agree terms so he is still a Birmingham player.'
Some of Spain's top clubs looking to step in for Larsson but not until the end of the season when he would be a free agent, Blues are of course, looking for a fee.

This was the main topic on the radio this morning (97.1 I think) and it seemed that most of the callers were for it. Personally I hate the feeling when I come home from the bar and I smell like cigarettes. Even worse is when you wake up the next day and you still smell. Not to mention the health risks of second hand smoke.
I am for the smoking ban. However, I am sure there will be some establishments that will still allow smoking and will pay the fine for it to draw in that crowd. I have heard of that happening in other states (NY I think) that have passed a smoking ban.

Kellie - posted on 11/20/2011 ( 19 moms have responded )
A Florida school has come under fire after a Hooters waitress spoke to a group of special needs students at an annual careers event.
The Great American Teach-In at Calvin A. Hunsinger School — an institution that teaches students with emotional and behavioural disabilities — brings together a number of speakers who discuss career choices with the students.
But one parent was less than impressed when Hooters waitress Brittany Morgan was called upon to deliver a presentation, the St Petersburg Times reports.
"It's just the wrong message," parent Ashley Dominicci said. "I feel like we're telling them that you're the bad kids, and this is all you'll be in life.
"I'm not knocking waitresses. They're very hard-working. My point is, these kids should have higher goals."
Waitresses at Hooters restaurants in the US are famous for being young, attractive women who wear very little. Their sex appeal is an important part of the company's image.
Dominicci, the mother of a sixth grade student at the school, argued there were countless other options that would have been more appropriate.
"I can think of 10 professional friends off the top of my head that would have volunteered," she said.
The school's principal, Stephanie Bessette, defended the decision in an email to Dominicci.
"Working as a waiter or waitress in order to achieve higher goals should be commended," Bessette wrote.
Morgan told the Times she could sympathise with Dominicci, but was confident her presentation to the students was valuable.
"I'm confident there was nothing wrong with my presentation," she said. "Most of us are going to school. We're aspiring to do other things in life. This isn't our career."
I kind of find it offensive that people would be offended by this. At least this woman is working and not sponging off the Dole (what we call Social Security Here, I know it works A LOT different in the states). AND she's working toward another goal and studying WHILE she's busting her ass working at a thankless job that people look down on. Might I remind you that you expect to be waited on whilst dining out and if there weren't any waitresses to wait on you it'd be self service?
This Comment in particular annoyed me "It's just the wrong message," parent Ashley Dominicci said. "I feel like we're telling them that you're the bad kids, and this is all you'll be in life." Nice lady, that girl might love her job. We all, from toilet cleaner to whatever you think is the most important job in the world, have a purpose, how about you ram your judgmental opinion up your ass? How about looking at it like this, While you are working toward another goal it is an achievement to also be working and supporting yourself at the same time.
She is just as worthy as your 10 professional friends.

LOS ALAMITOSA $126 million construction bond to modernize and repair aging campuses in the Los Alamitos Unified School District will go before voters in November.
The school board unanimously approved late Tuesday sending to voters a bond that would pay for projects, including new electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, windows, and fire alarms, at each of the district's 10 campuses.
"Our staff and school board have been working for two years to asses the facilities needs of this district," said Superintendent Gregory Franklin. "When many of these schools were built 50 to 60 years ago, the most complex equipment that went in them was a record player. Things have changed since then."
Franklin said the district would also be eligible to receive an additional $19 million in state matching funds.
The Los Alamitos Unified bond would be the third across Orange County slated for presidential election night. Last Month, school boards in Tustin Unified and Westminster Unified both unanimously approved sending construction bonds to the ballot.
District officials say that with school districts across California facing state budget cuts and other financial issues, the only way to pay for much-needed school repairs and upgrades is for a taxpayer supported bond.
The bond will require 55 percent voter approval in the Nov. 4 general election.
Other proposed projects include: upgrading school libraries, modernizing middle and high school science labs, increasing access for the disabled, installing or replacing heating and cooling systems, installing new smoke detectors, and painting interiors and exteriors of schools. If approved by voters, construction on the first projects could start in 2009.
Across Orange County, 20 school districts currently have bonds that are helping pay for nearly $2 billion in school construction. Voters in some districts, including Santa Ana Unified and Newport-Mesa Unified, have each approved two construction bonds within the past 10 years.

The Rileys – adulterous Doug (James Gandolfini), agoraphobic Lois (Melissa Leo) – are still reeling from their daughter's death when Doug encounters teenage lapdancer Mallory (Kristen Stewart) on a business trip and decides to play surrogate dad.
Can Mallory's presence help rekindle the couple's relationship? What do you think? Handicapped by its paper-thin premise, even a strong cast can't lift Jake 'son of Ridley' Scott's film out of indie-by-numbers mediocrity.
Leo, the film's best asset, is underused, leaving a film that proves as mild as Mallory's raunch-lite, faux-tough persona.

(Archived document, may contain errors)
7/8/87 47
(Updating Backgrounder No. 579, "Using the Debt-Ceiling Vote to End the Spending Binge," May 11, 1987.) The federal debt ceiling time bomb is still ticking. Unless Congress defuses it by raising the federal debt ceiling limit above $2.3 trillion before July 17, the Treasury Department will be prohibited from issuing any new debt and will run out of operating funds near the end of July. This could bring the government to a standstill, and for the first time in history, the United States government might default technically on its loan obligations.
This is the second time this year that Congress has stared federal bankruptcy in the face. In May, a group of Senate Republicans, led by Phil Gramm of Texas, warned that they would hold up the debt bill extension until Congress agreed to budget process reforms to restrain the flow of red ink permanently. But rather than face the issue head on, Congress postponed the daX of reckoning by enacting the three-month debt ceiling extension that is now runmng out.
Rare Opportunity. Senate Republicans see the debt ceiling crisis as a rare opportunity to force Congress to restore the enforcement mechanism to the 1985 Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act. This bipartisan budget law established deficit targets that would shrink the deficit to zero by 1991. If Congress were to miss its annual deficit target, the law provided for automatic spending cuts. Because of a technical flaw, however, this procedure for automatic spending cuts-- called sequestration--was struck down last summer by the Supreme Court. The Gramm group wants Congress to pass an amendment to deal with this deficiency.
Saving Gramm-Rudman-Hollings is important. After five years of congressional floundering, it is the only device that has slowed the tide of red ink. The deficit has shrunk:by about $50 billion since Gramm-Rudman-HoUings was enacted. More important, if Gramm-Rudman-HoRings is not repaired, the prospect for future deficit reduction is bleak. Without the threat of politically painful automatic spending cuts, there is no pressure on Congress to cut spending. Indeed, Congress is eager to add dozens of new spending plans in the fiscal 1988 budget. The price tag of these programs: an estimated $8 billion. Without Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, this will only be the beginning of a new bout of runaway spending.
Putting the Teeth Back Gramm will offer an amendment, dubbed Gramm- Rudrnan-41ollings M to the July debt ceiling INS is intended to put teeth back into the alanced Budget Act while with the Supreme Court's original objections to the law. The. Co the participation of the General Accounting Office in the sequestration cess delegated to this Legislative Branch agency authority that the Constitution reserves for the Executive Branch. Ile Gramm proposal would require an Executive Branch agency, the Office of Management and Budget, to determine the final sequestration amounts. This would not give firstname.lastname@example.com of Management and Budget excessive power. OMB in fact would have minimal discretion in determiniii* the overall extent of'the program cuts and no discretion whatsoever in the distribution of the budget cuts, since that is specified in the existing law in exacting detail. All OMB would do is determine the percentage cut for each program as prescribed by the law. Gramm also has added a safety provision to his amendment which would lead to expedited Court consideration of any challenge to OMB sequestration. In an effort to derail Gramm-Rudman-Holfinas M Representative Thomas Foley, the Washington Democrat, has proposed hisr-owii repair of the Balanced Budget Act. Rather than making sequestration automatic, Foley's P' w d give the President sole authority to invoke sequestration if the Gramm.-Rrdmaonlollings deficit targets are breeched. But this would put every President in a no-win situation. The reason: lawmakers could proceed with budget busting business as usual throughout the year and then hand the Gramm-Rudman sledge hammer to the President. Public wrath then probably would turn against the President and force him to accept new spending. It seems strange that House of Representatives liberals, who have refused on every occasion to accord Ronald Reagan even a modicum of additional budget power, would so enthusiastically endow the presidency with the sweeping authority to invoke sequestration. A Ouestion of Priority. Legislators are anxious to pass a debt extension bill before the July 15 deadline to avert the political embarrassment of a temporary shutdown of the federal government. The question is whether Congress will also seize the opportunity to slow the future tide of red ink, or whether it will simply give the pro-spending constituencies yet another lease on life without receiving any budgetary concessions in return. If lawmakers neglect to add a Gramm-Rudman- Hollings fix to the debt bill, they will be sending a clear-signal to the American public that, despite recent rhetoric, deficit reduction remains a low congressional priority. Experience teaches'.that the debt ceiling extension vote is the one occasion of the year when the big spenders have their backs to the wall and can be brought grudgingly to the bargaining table. By threatening to slam the brakes on the tederal money machine in 1985, Senators Gramm, Rudman, and Hollings were able to win original passage of the Balanced Budget Act-a law that is still supported by almost 70 percent of the American public. Only another debt ceiling showdown will force Congress to reaffirm its commitment to deficit reduction. Stephen Moore Policy Analyst bill lyn tg: @90ffe' t

Major Harry Maxim is drawn into the shadowy and deadly world of East-West intrigue. A deserting English corporal, a cabinet convulsion in East Germany, a double murder in a small West German town, a widowed piano teacher in Yorkshire: they're all somehow related by a deep, dark secret from the past. And it's up to Harry Maxim to uncover the secret-before it's too late.
Gavin Lyall (1932-2003) lived in Hampstead and enjoyed sailing on the Thames in his motor cruiser. From 1959 to 1962 he was a newspaper reporter and the aviation correspondent for the Sunday Times. His first novel, The Wrong Side of the Sky, was published in 1961, drawing from his personal experiences in the Libyan Desert and in Greece. Lyall left journalism in 1963 to become a full-time author, writing 17 novels before his death in 2003.

"Terrible audio reading, though story is OK"
This was one of the worst audio readings I have heard. It is clearly inappropriate to have an American reading a story that is set in Britain with British characters, as this inevitably jars especially when place names are mispronounced. However, even worse is that the story is read with a 'Vincent Price horror' tone and delivery that is totally at odds with the story.
It already has a follow up
Not the best of Gavin Lyall's books, but it is a short, brisk thriller
"Wrong Accent!"
Brilliant story - wanted to replace my old often-listened-to chewed up cassette tapes with CDs but it's never been available in that format. So I was pleased to find it at last on Audible - but oh dear! They've changed the reader!
It's an ENGLISH STORY! The British Secret Service and Westminster and the Corridors of Power. So they've got an American to do it!!! He'd be perfectly good for a James Lee Burke, Lee Child or a Tom Clancy, but NOT this.
Please, please, please, replace the reader with the original Robin Browne version, or at least make the original available too!
The story is densely and intelligently plotted, with a wonderful turn of phrase and a dry wit, subtle and elegant. It makes more famous spy characters look like a Sumo Wrestler. But so much is lost in this version. The reader valiantly attempts after a while to employ an approximation of an English accent, but with so many of the characters - especially the Cockney ones, it just doesn't work.
Sorry Clinton, not getting at you, it's not your fault. But someone has made a very wrong choice and it's done the excellent Gavin Lyall no favours.

Dairy Goats
During the summer of 2004 we bought our first Toggenburg goats. Their job at the time was to finish off the Himalayan Blackberries that we mowed down on a number of acres. They have done a fantastic job and we now have lush green pastures where blackberries once stood.Read more about our Dairy goats:

- Initial Configuration
- Another way: Apply a Profile

This page is part of the Basic Docs Project, and is currently being improved.
This page is an overview of the first things to do as a Tiki site administrator. This page assumes you have completed the installation, and are logged in as the admin of your site.
Another way: Apply a ProfileNew: As an alternative to setting configuration options one by one, it is possible to apply a "Profile" to set the Tiki site up for a specific purpose, such as a company intranet, collaborative community, and so on. For more information on this "app store" approach to site configuration, please see http://profiles.tiki.org.
To set configuration options "manually," continue with the instructions on this page.
For non-administrators (end users) wishing to learn how to use various features in Tiki, see Features.
Features Administration
Once installed, choose the features you would like to offer in your Tiki. Tiki has a wide variety of features to choose from; wiki, news article, blog, workflow management, forums, and much more. Be warned that the array of choices can be mind-boggling, so you might want to get acquainted with the Tiki community and find a mentor to advise you on your implementation and to lend a hand up the steepest parts of the learning curve.
for more info: Features Admin
Most of the main features have their own administrator panel, to configure that particular feature. Once you choose the features you want, then visit the appropriate admin page for each feature. In doc.tiki.org, most features have an admin page ((featurename admin)) which describes the configuration options available.
You may also be interested in turning on Image Gallery or File Gallery features. (In recent Tiki release, the File Gallery is already activated by default.)
Optional: Save attachments and images in folders instead of in database
By default Tiki saves files from wiki attachments, image galleries, file galleries, trackers, userfiles, etc., in the database, but you might configure it to store them in your file tree in the server, so the database is kept as small as possible for backups, etc.
Create folders and set permissionsTiki Sections:
- wiki attachments
- forum attachments
- file galleries
- image galleries
- trackers
- user files
Needed perms on server:
The webserver needs to be able to read, write and execute files. Set those folders either as 755, 775, or 777, depending on your server configuration (try in this previously cited order)
We recommend adding the prefix "tiki_" to these folders you are going to create, so that it's easier for you to identify them. Therefore, you could use folder names as:
- tiki_attach --> wiki attachments
- tiki_files --> files from the file galleries,
- tiki_images --> images from image galleries ,
- tiki_trackers --> trackers ,
- tiki_userfiles --> userfiles ,
- tiki_forum1 , tiki_forum2 , ... --> attachments to forums, if needed; they are specified in a per forum basis, where needed.
(remember, create the folder, and change permissions to 775 or whatever you need in your web hosting)
Set in your Tiki the paths to the foldersWe will assume that when you log in to your server through ftp, you are in folder: /home/username/
Log in to your tiki, through the web browser, as admin, set the path in the following places:
Wiki attachments:
- Go to "Admin > Wiki > Wiki Administration > Manage attachment preferences".
- Select "Wiki attachments preferences > Use directory to save files:", and "Directory path": /home/username/tiki_attach/
- Go to "Admin > File Galleries > Galleries features "
- Select: "Use a directory to store files:", and for "Directory path": /home/username/tiki_files/
- Go to "Admin > Image Galleries > Galleries features"
- Select: "Use a directory to store images:", and for "Directory path": /home/username/tiki_images/
- Go to "Admin > Trackers > Trackers attachments preferences"
- Select: "Use a directory to store files:", and for "Directory path": /home/username/tiki_trackers/
- Go to "Admin > User files"
- Select: "Use a directory to store files:", and for "Directory path": /home/username/tiki_userfiles/
NOTE: Forums can be configured one by one, and not necessarily in one folder for all of them
Forums, one by one:
- Go to "Forums > Admin forums > (chose one forum - -, for instance "forum01") > Attachments"
- Select: " Save attachments to:", and set "Path:": /home/username/tiki_forum01/
- repeat as many times as needed for all your forums with attachments
Change the other parameters specifics for your web site
- "Admin > General",
- "Server name (for absolute URIs):" -> http://yourserver.com/yoursite/
[Is this obsolete for 2.1? I cannot find any slot on the Admin > General page with a label similar to this, although I see the following two. If someone in the know could update this it would help relative newcomers like me.]
- "Title (browser title):" -> Set the name of your group, association, business, ...
- "Send Email:" -> your email box name in the same server, if any
- "Server name (for absolute URIs):" -> http://yourserver.com/yoursite/
- "Admin > (Login)"
- "HTTP server name:" -> yourserver.com
- "HTTP Prefix for URL:" -> yoursite/
[Similarly, I cannot find these two on Admin > (login). Have they moved? The next three are on that page.]
- "Remember me name:" -> yourserver.com
- "Remember me domain:" -> domain_name_set_when_using_setup.sh
- "Remember me path:" -> yoursite/
If you see the root directory listing when trying to access your site, you may need to edit the .htaccess file or the httpd.conf file as follows:
Look for the line "DirectoryIndex ..." and make sure it includes "index.php".
You need to set each tiki installation with its own "Remember me Domain:", and this name must the same name used when rinning the script:
./setup.sh nobody root 02755 site1 site22
In this example, this screen for the first site should contain:
- "Remember me domain:" -> site1
- "Remember me domain:" -> site1
Create Groups and Users
Once you have dictated what your Tiki is to be used for, establish by whom it shall be used.
Registration PrivilegesIs your Tiki open to the public, or is it closed (even for viewing) to a select circle? A full array of options is available. Most Tiki installations start with three basic user types:
- admin - Each site begins with one "god-level" administrator, who can create/shape/delete pretty much anything. (There should only be one top level admin by default, don't create others unless you really really trust them to know what they are doing.)
- registered - Registered users are one of the two user groups created by default. Administer the permissions of this group for each feature of your Tiki to reflect the permissions settings that you intend to be universal.
- anonymous - Anonymous users can be viewed as either:
- users who haven't logged in yet - in which case they get minimal permissions (view and login/register)
- users who prefer to remain anonymous - in which case you award the group your minimal permissions across all features you want to allow anonymous participation in.
- lazy/stupid users - Admins who are looking to maximize the contributions (grow content) are likely to facilitate users who are either too lazy or clumsy to manage logging in (probably not a small percentage of the traffic). In this case, be aware you are creating a "wild west" and should maintain surveillance over the changes to your site
see: LDAP authentication.
Creating additional groupsIn addition to the three basic groups above. You can create other groups, generally for one of the following reasons:
- junior administrators / site editors - knowledgeable users can have their permissions bumped up so they can assist in the maintenance and design of the site.
- private user groups - Tiki can be configured using the categories system to create private pages and areas on the site that are accessible only to users belonging to a certain group.
For a quick setup of permissions and features, take a look at profiles or learn to use your custom profile starting from Permissions
see also: Groups Management and Users
Change the appearance
Choose a themeThemes are the "skins" of Tiki. Themes use a CSS framework to change the look and feel of all the elements of the site. Tiki comes with a number of themes installed. Tiki's themes affect appearance only, and not functionality. In other words, features work the same in all themes. (If there is a functionality difference between themes, this is a bug and should be reported and fixed.)
Themes can be applied globally, and also to specific categories of pages (which can correspond to user groups), to features, and associated with perspectives. And users can pick their own theme if they're in a group that has that permission.
For more information about Tiki's themes, please visit themes.tiki.org.
Choose the layoutSince Tiki 13, several overall page layouts are available and can be selected on the Look and Feel admin page. The site administrator can choose to have a "classic" website layout with a page header containing a horizontal menu, all scrolling together, or a layout with a brand and navigation bar fixed to the top of the browser window, and so on. There are some variations of each of these. For more information, see https://themes.tiki.org/Layout+Templates.
Add and organize the site modules
In Tiki terminology, modules are containers that hold various kinds of information and functionality. Many are included initially, and custom modules can easily be made by site admins and editors. Modules contain things like menus, search forms, images, a Tiki plugin, etc. The classic arrangement is to have a center main content area with either a left or right column (or both) containing modules for added content and functionality, but modules can be loaded within a wiki page's content or in a blog post or wherever it is needed. Modules have many display parameters, can be sorted in any order and made visible/invisible for different user groups.
For example, to create your own menu to display in a module and assign it to a location in the page, please read the Menu HOWTO.
Create content
Once you have established all of the above you (and your users) are ready to start adding the content to your site.
See: features page for information on how to add/edit content in each of the features you are using.
To learn how to format the content of your wiki pages, read Using Wiki Pages
Design your Navigation
Use Menu, Structures, Categories and Tags to organize your content.

"With Performance Matters, our schools are able get immediate feedback without having to wait for the district to analyze the results. It gives teachers the data they need to differentiate their instruction."
Winter Park, Fla. (PRWEB) February 04, 2013
With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, New Jersey has established rigorous new curriculum and assessment requirements for the state's lowest-performing "Priority Schools." To meet these requirements and bolster efforts to close achievement gaps, Paterson Public School District has formed an innovative partnership with Performance Matters™ to help all 54 of its schools — including six Priority Schools and 16 Focus Schools — monitor progress toward student learning objectives (SLOs) and give teachers the timely, accurate data they need to drive their instruction.
New Jersey now requires Priority Schools to use a state-approved curriculum or the state's own model curriculum in English language arts and mathematics to help students meet the CCSS and New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. The model curriculum includes grade-level content standards organized into five units of study, each with targeted SLOs. At the end of each six-week unit, Priority Schools must administer formative assessments to measure how well students have met the targets and what students still need to master.
"We have been using Performance Matters to manage all of our district and state assessment data for the past three years," said Lauren Kazmark, Ed.D., interim director of assessment, planning and evaluation for Paterson Public Schools. "Although the state requires that we use the new unit assessments in our Priority Schools only, we have been pleased with these assessments and decided they would be beneficial for all 54 schools in our district. The NJDOE also permitted us to use Performance Matters to manage data from the new unit assessments."
Using Performance Matters, educators can print out bubble sheets, administer the six-week formative assessments, and scan in the bubble sheets when they are complete. Performance Matters immediately scores and grades the student tests, and makes the data available for use in the classroom and at the school and district levels.
"We conducted our first assessment in October in grades K-12. With Performance Matters, our schools are able get immediate feedback without having to wait for the district to analyze the results," said Kazmark. "The Item Analysis report is especially helpful, because it gives teachers the data they need to differentiate their instruction and interventions to meet students' needs."
In addition, Performance Matters combines the results from the six-week formative assessments with all other relevant student data into color-coded reports and dashboards. Using these tools, educators can instantly disaggregate and analyze the data for any student or group, track progress toward SLOs, and make informed instructional decisions.
"Performance Matters provides us with a comprehensive view of student performance and growth. We can compare performance across our state and local assessments from the individual student level to the district level," said Kazmark. "Performance Matters is also user friendly. It saves us time in pulling together information and creating reports, which frees us up to analyze the data and make recommendations."
Paterson Public Schools plans to transition to online scoring using the Performance Matters system in 2013. "This will eliminate the need to scan the assessments, which will save even more time," said Kazmark. "Performance Matters has been a tremendous help to our district and our relationship has been a true partnership."

WHEN Sarah Dixon laid eyes on a litter of cute white kittens, her heart melted instantly and she knew she had to have one.
The only snag was that Mrs Dixon lived 340 miles away in Newcastle.
But luckily for her, the litter was up for adoption through Fareham and Waterlooville Cats Protection – a charity that finds new homes for unwanted cats and kittens.
Nicky Davies, team leader for rehoming at the charity, said: 'It would normally be impractical to rehome at such long distances but, in this case, it worked.'
Despite the five-and-a-half hour journey, and it being the furthest distance the charity had ever rehomed a cat, the kitten called Elsa adapted well and is loving life with her new family.
Elsa was rehomed on July 17 when she was 10 weeks old.
Mrs Dixon and her family are delighted with their new feline friend.
She said: 'When we'd had her just over a week, it felt like she'd always been here. My kids loved her instantly.'
Elsa was one of a litter of five white kittens, from mother cat Snow, born in Fareham.
Mrs Dixon said: 'We chose Elsa pretty much the day she was born as she was so cute.'
Snow's owner was a friend of Mrs Dixon and they posted a picture of the kittens online saying they were up for adoption with the charity.
Mrs Dixon got in touch with Fareham and Waterlooville Cats Protection, which has worked to ensure Elsa is well looked after in her new home.
Mrs Davies said: 'I have contacted the vet who will be looking after Elsa.
'The daughter of one of our volunteers lived in Newcastle and was fully briefed on how to carry out a home visit, which she did and then reported back to me. She's settled in well.'
The charity, which featured earlier this month in The News after it saw its worst two months for adoption rates, has seen a rise in adoptions.
Mrs Davies said she was pleased that homes were being found but added that one of the cats, a grey and tabby called Susie, has had a litter of seven kittens and they will soon be up for adoption.

With 57 airlines serving 175 routes from Dublin Airport, finding a flight to Alghero will be easy as pie. When searching for your flight to Alghero, the key thing to remember is that the date of your flight can affect cost. For example, mid-week, early morning and late evening flights tend to be cheaper and if you're looking to visit Alghero during a high tourist season it's best to book further in advance. Dublin Airport is accessible by over 1,000 buses and coaches from in and around Dublin and towns across Ireland, so getting to the airport in time for your Alghero flight shouldn't cause any hassle, just remember to leave plenty of time in case of delays, and maybe even a little airport duty free shopping. Before your flight to Alghero remember to check on visa requirements, you may not need one but it's always best to double check. Finally always have a look at the weather forecast for your Alghero trip, you don't want to over pack or pack useless items either.

ESO Beta – Advice for Playing
by Webnme2 on Mar 4th 2014 in Gaming
This last weekend I had the joy of participating in a beta test of the Elder Scrolls Online. I compiled some notes for playing the game:
1. Start out looting and scrapping everything out the environment you can
2. GO SLOW – you'll miss stuff and be sorry later when you don't advance as fast
3. Craft and build skills early
4. Explore every inch of territory – exploration is more important to XP than crafting, which in turn is more important than killing a creature or individual foe.
5. Do every quest you can – only quests trump exploration for XP
6. Find and use Skychards, Mundus Stones, Runes, etc. You get more skill points that way and get enchanted gear with the runes, which makes a huge difference
7. Leave a bad fight and come back when you are better prepared.
8. If you start loosing a fight, your armor will degrade when you get killed and get expensive to repair or replace. You are less and less likely to win and more and more likely to continue racking up expenses
9. Interact with every NPC
10. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHER PLAYERS – group kills and combat are better even if you don't form an official group links – swarm mobbing a foe is awesomely better than hard fights
11. Join Fighter and Mage Guilds as soon as you can.
12. Works very nicely with keyboard and mouse and may be faster to play that way. Still works extremely well with controller using 3rd party emulation software.
13. You don't want to open up the UI unless you are in a safe place like a wayshrine or in a town. You can get attacked and killed while reading a map very easily and quickly.
14. Sneak and ranged attacks are often better than melee in this game.
15. Special powers from skill points rule!!!!
16. When picking powers, make sure to have one or two that are stamina based and the rest magic. That way you can fire off an attack after magic is exhausted and recharging without having to wait and being limited to just a weapon.
17. Have at least a good staff, a good bow, and a good melee weapon at all times. Spare parts for armor are needed until you can fight well.
18. Repairs are made in towns and you may need to repair in the middle of a fight. Spares are essential for awhiule.
19. Use the banks to store crafting supplies and runes. Save inventory space for critical stuff and looting/exploiting the environment
20. Go to town and sell/bank often

On Thursday July 25th at approximately 1:15 PM a fire was reported at the Weyerhaeuser plant located at 3401 Industrial Way in Longview. When fire crews arrived they were greeted by Weyerhaeuser staff advising that there was a fire was on the second floor of a large warehouse building containing the extruder department. Once inside firefighters found a small fire that had ignited from a bathroom ceiling fan. The fire spread within the ceilings concealed space, burning above the bathroom ceiling and below a third floor office.
To access the fire firefighters used pike poles, which are long handled tools ideal for pulling ceilings. Once the concealed spaced was adequately exposed the fire was placed under control utilizing minimal water, thus reducing water damage.
The facility was turned over to Weyerhaeuser employees who were going to further overhaul the overhead space and provide fire watch to assure all hot spots were extinguished. The cause of the fire was most likely a faulty ceiling ventilation fan.
