Arsenal v Sp*rs Barclays Premier League, Emirates Stadium Wednesday, October 29, 2008, 20:00 News over the weekend was that Harry Redknapp has taken over as manager. My good old mate JAT questioned the timely fashion. Knowing that we could have really muled the Ramos side 6-0 or 7-0, the appointment of Redknapp in time for this game was quite preventative to such a score-line, but nevertheless we WILL win this one, oh yes. With the 5-1 of last year still fresh in our minds, it's time to take revenge on a side who lie bottom of the table. If we could conceivably put a nail in the coffin of what is Sp*rs premiership existence, I would be a happy man. Arsene has talked about the appointment of Redknapp and had this to say:
"I believe what is important tomorrow is how well Arsenal will play and not who sits on the bench at Tottenham. We have put a run together and that has strengthened our belief. We want now to go from strength to strength – we have come back to an interesting position in the league and we are highly convinced that it will be down to our strengths tomorrow more than anything else."I simply can't wait for tonight's game. And Arsene does agree… it's a bit special.
"I believe if there is one game that is a bit special, it is Tottenham versus Arsenal so I don't think that will change a lot. Certainly in the longer term future it will change things for Tottenham, the fact that Harry has taken over, but I believe in tomorrow's specific game it is more about how well we will play and I believe that is more important than anything else. I am very confident because we have a very strong united spirit in the dressing room and we want to do well. We have shown that in recent games, we won at Fenerbahce, we won at West Ham, we have beaten Everton in a convincing way and we want to keep that going."We have to get the three points tonight, it's a must win. We're currently four points behind Liverpool and it's essential that we claw some points back. Albeit, a home game is a always a must win. Robin Van Persie can't wait for the game either and he's been in the press too.
"I don't know and I honestly don't care. The game against Tottenham is one on its own and it's a big one, irrespective of where they are in the table."That's what I like to hear… So on to team news. We've got Denilson back in the squad and Toure should be fit to start. With Silvestre, Diaby and Bendtner all returning, it's going to be more difficult to predict the team and more difficult to contain all the players. I'd expect Toure to return along side Gallas and I also expect Song to maintain his place, with Denilson just recovered from an inf lammed back. With Silvestre starting both games, I'd expect him to be on the bench ahead of Djourou, although I really do think Djourou should be ahead of Silvestre in the pecking order. With Sagna back in the squad for the West Ham game, I'd expect him to take his place is the first XI with Eboue on the bench. Okay, so this is what the line up could be tonight:
|Almunia Goalkeeper
|Sagna Right Back
|Toure Centre Back
|Gallas Centre Back
|Clichy Left Back
|Walcott Right Wing
|Song Midfielder
|Cesc Midfielder
|Nasri Left Wing
|Adebayor Striker
|Van Persie Support Striker

Butterfly Gardening 101
The Basics | Nurseries | Favorite Butterfly Plants
What is a butterfly garden?
Any habitat full of larval host plants and nectar-producing flowers is likely to be home to butterflies. When we plant our personal gardens to consciously provide food for butterflies, and we limit use of garden chemicals, we are butterfly gardeners!
Why have a butterfly garden?
- Butterflies are beautiful, and their life cycle and life styles afford hours of pleasure to observers.
- They help pollinate flowering plants.
- They provide food for other garden "wildlife" you will learn from and enjoy, such as birds.
- They are an "indicator" species, indicating environmental health by their presence or environmental trouble by their absence. If your yard is a healthy home to butterflies, it is likely to be healthy for you and your family as well.
- Butterfly gardening is something tangible you can do for conservation, whether you have a small courtyard or patio or an ample suburban lot. Like all wildlife, butterflies are threatened by loss of their natural habitats to ever-advancing human development. Many species of butterflies, however, thrive in urban and suburban settings that provide food plants for caterpillars, nectar sources for adults, and relief from chemical toxins.
How do you plant a butterfly garden?
- Assess your space and identify areas that you can set aside for garden plots.
- Don't despair if your yard has limited sunlight. Most butterflies like sunny areas, but some prefer dappled sunlight or even shady areas. Jaret Daniels (author of Your Florida Guide to Butterfly Gardening: A Guide for the Deep South, 2000) points out that the same passion vine, planted in the sun, will attract Gulf Fritillaries; planted in the shade, Zebra Heliconians claim it.
- In addition to the sunlight patterns of your yard, know your soil and drainage conditions and plant accordingly.
- Don't despair if you have limited space. Small butterfly gardens can be successful.
- If you have a balcony, try growing parsley, dill and fennel – see if the Black Swallowtail will find it and lay eggs.
- If you have a small courtyard, try to train some passion vines (Passiflora species) to a fence or trellis (native species are recommended, as the Zebra Heliconians, Julias, and Gulf Fritillaries seem to use them more readily than they accept most exotic passion vines).
- Try pipevine (Aristolochea species) to attract polydamus.
- Try Blue Plumbago (Plumbago auiculata) for Cassiuis Blues.
- To draw in nectaring adults, plant a clump of Ruby Red Pentas (Pentas lanceolata).
- For stable and diverse butterfly populations, strive for a diverse range of both larval host plants and flowering nectar sources for adults. Caterpillar food needs are usually quite specific and well documented in butterfly field guides and butterfly gardening books. However, adults also select flowers that accommodate the length of their proboscis and their color preferences.
- If you wish to have butterflies, but not the "chewed up" look of larval host plants, then in visible areas of your garden, emphasize nectar plants and tuck your larval host plants in less obvious areas.
- Not all adults feed only on flower nectar; some are attracted to overripe fruit and sap. Try a shallow bird bath to offer chunks of very ripe, even rotten, fruit. Jaret Daniels suggests a moat for controlling ants: place one shallow dish with the fruit in the middle of a larger shallow receptacle filled with water. The butterflies will be able to reach the fruit, but the ants will be thwarted.
- Some butterflies will "mud puddle" in damp earth where they can extract salts and other minerals. See if you have a moist low spot in your yard that might attract mud puddlers if plant material were scraped away. Or, as Daniels suggests, create a mud puddle by embedding in the ground a shallow pan filled with wet sand and a little table salt.
- Plant high and low. Some butterflies fly high in the trees, others low in shrubs and grasses. Consider larval host and nectar-providing trees and shrubs that will reach varying heights. For example, your tree canopies can attract Horace's Duskywing with oaks, Ruddy Daggerwing with our native Strangler Fig (Ficus aurea) and Short-Leafed Fig (Ficus citrifolia), and Hammock Skipper with the Jamaican Dogwood (Piscidia piscipula). But your lawn and low shrubs will draw Grass Skippers and small Sulphurs.
- "Think thickets" when you plant. Groupings of plants provide more protection from predators and inclement weather, as well as ease of access to food, than an isolated bush or tree. Their color and texture are also pleasing to our eyes.
- Shun garden chemicals as much as possible, and then selectively "spot use" the least toxic: Pesticides, fungicides, herbicides are indiscriminate in their toxic effects. What kills a white fly or a weed won't be healthy for a butterfly egg or caterpillar, either (and is probably not salubrious for the person who mixes and applies it).
- Go native! Experienced butterfly gardeners find that native larval host and nectar plants often are more resistant than exotics to pests and diseases, as well as more attractive to local butterflies. Moreover, native plants usually grow more effortlessly in local conditions, requiring less costly watering, fertilizers, and pesticides.
- Trim frequently to promote new leaf growth, favored by caterpillars, and new blossoms for adults to nectar.
- Don't dismiss weeds! Many plants we have judged to be weeds are important butterfly larval host and nectar plants. In our area, Spanish Needle (Bidens alba) is the most obvious example! This member of the Aster family thrives in mowed lawns and almost any disturbed, sunny area. If it arrives in your yard, consider giving it a home, for it is larval host to the Dainty Sulphur and a nectar source to countless other butterflies.
- Look at your lawn with new eyes. Your lawn will support diverse butterflies in proportion to its diversity of grasses and small herbaceous weeds. Think of your lawn in terms of biodiversity as opposed to monoculture, and persuade yourself that a newly mown lawn full of diverse grasses and "lawn weeds" is both attractive and beneficial to butterflies. St. Augustine and Bermuda Grasses are larval hosts for several Skippers and many "lawn weeds" are, as well, butterfly plants.
- The beautiful White Peacock seeks Creeping Charlie (Pnyla nodiflora) and Green Shrimp Plant (Blechum pyramidatum);
- The smartly marked Tropical Checkered-Skipper seeks Wireweed (Sida acuta);
- The tiny Ceraunus Blue seeks Trailing Indigo (Indigofera spicata);
- Big, athletic Dorantes and Long-tailed Skippers seek Beggar's Tick (Desmodium incanum) and Beggarweed (Desmodium toruosum);
- Mexican Clover (Richardia grandiflora) provides nectar to a variety of butterflies.
- Obtain plant lists and butterfly gardening ideas from your local chapter of the North American Butterfly Association (www.NABA.org/chapters.html), your local native plant society, your local agricultural extension agency, local botanic gardens, or local nature centers.
- Check bookstores with good natural history selections for butterfly gardening books that specifically apply to your area. Several good gardening books are listed on this web site; click "Book List."
- Some landscape designers specialize in butterfly gardens; be sure to ask to see examples of their established gardens, visit when you can expect to see butterflies in action and obtain references before engaging a professional.
- Once your garden is planted, be patient. It will take a little time for butterflies to discover you … and a little more time for your yard list to grow from a few species to many. You will also learn what plants and butterflies are most successful in your yard.

Novell plans to release a beta for its Linux Desktop 10 including new features offering better interoperability with Microsoft Office and Open Office, said Ted Haeger, Novell's director of user communities, at the Southern California Linux Expo. The beta, tentatively scheduled for release next month, will include a new feature, dubbed Xgl. Haeger said Xgl will allow users to jump between screens and multiple desktops. Targeted to CAD software users, Xgl has a practical side that allows users to have better window- and file-sharing capabilities.

RE: How did this get through the bogofilter?
by CrimsonScythe on Thu 16th Feb 2006 02:05 UTC in reply to "How did this get through the bogofilter?"
Well, obviously the files look much better with Xgl when you share them, hence "better file-sharing capabilities". You know, in the very much same way as Xgl gives you much better file management, email checking, web browsing, and not to mention, coffee making capabilities. I also heard, but take this with a grain of salt, that Xgl actually will give you better gas mileage on your car, so don't be surprised if you see it for sale on late night TV by som bearded shady guy. Don't underestimate the awesome all-encompassing embetterment-factor of a shiny, flashy GUI!

Simple sophistication. That's precisely what the Chased Aluminum Unisex Cuff Bracelet Handmade Jewelry for Men and Women brings to any ensemble. This sleek aluminum cuff bracelet is meticulously hand chased, a technique that involves incising thin ribs along the surface of the metal. This texturing process affects the reflection of light, amplifying the shine of the metal and allowing it to sparkle without requiring the glitzy look of gemstones.
This unique handmade cuff bracelet has been proportioned with versatility in mind. The 3/4-inch width allows the bracelet to pair with a wristwatch or other bracelets but to look finished when worn alone. The circumference of the bracelet is 8 inches, perfect for men's wrists and women with larger wrists. Women with more petite wrist sizes may also opt for this design if they prefer a looser fit. Please use the Cuff Size drop down box on the right to specify your desired size.
The Chased Aluminum Unisex Cuff Bracelet Handmade Jewelry for Men and Women is constructed entirely from aluminum, making it light in weight despite its thickness and strength. The luminous surface of the cuff will never be lessened by tarnishing, as aluminum is a nonreactive metal that is not affected by oxygen exposure.

Let's begin with the concept of this car - the asymetrical configuration of the door is utterly odd. On the driver's side, you get an elongated door just like a coupe, and on the other, 2 doors. One in the front, one in the back. This is to give the Veloster 'dual personality', where the 10 year old in an individual seeking for a sporty coupe is matched with everyday practicality needed by everyone.
The problem is, the number '3' has not worked out well for automobiles. 3 wheels for example, the Reliant Robin was revolutionary! - At first. Then people started realising that it won't take corners. Same goes to 3 doors, it looks odd. It looks, unbalanced somehow. But after 3 days spending time with it, it grew on us.
The general idea is - Korean cars are cheaply made and not exquisite to behold. Back then, they felt cheap because they WERE cheap. These days the Koreans are logging heads with the Japs, fighting for product reliability and quality. Exhibit A, the Hyundai Veloster - feels more expensive to be in than what it cost.
Hyundai first revealed the concept in 2007. Codenamed the HND-3 concept, it took the company over 3 years to actually put it to production. Why? Why did it take them so long to put into production?
The idea is absolutely brilliant. The massive door means that its easy for the driver to get in and out, it looks quite the part and yes, it's practical. We'll get to that.
The Drive - 7/10
Firstly, the 1.6 litre engine produces 132ps and 158nm. We have to admit, although the product breif says 80% of the torque is available at 1500rpm, the car feels a little lacking. It is a little defeated by hills.Â*Zerotohundred sprint takes a shy below 9 seconds (as tested), so; theres enough poke to go with the styling but we reckon the turbo version would make the drive a lot more engaging.
As tested, the Veloster came with a manual gearbox. The basic problem is that youngsters these days would prefer an automatic to a manual, but a manual would always give a more engaging drive. There shouldn't be much to complain as the clutch is light, and the shifter is smooth and enjoyable. We reckon, to enjoy the Veloster more of the time, it has to be in manual form due to the lack of torque but if you insists on an automatic, there is a CVT option with paddle shifters.
Handling wise, is rather impressive. Although the steering feels a little numb, it is rather forgiving. Most cars in this class range would suffer from delirious understeer, but the Veloster copes with corners very well. There is significant amount of front-end grip, but due to the suspension setup of the rear, the back fancies to let go at times. The sensation of having a skittish back-side may sound scary, but here, it actually makes the car a little more lively - which is a good thing!
Driving position is quite admirable. The driver's seat can be moved upwards or downwards, to fit many different drivers. Of course to feel racier, one could have it all the way down. Visibility of the surrounding is quite questionable however, particularly in the back, due to the low roofline and glass. But we're nit picking really. The floor mounted throttle paddle was a nice touch by Hyundai, giving the driver a little more comfort while driving.
The Looks - 7/10
If I was a teenager looking for a first car, i'll be looking for something that could turn heads. So to test out this theory, we took it down to Taylor's Lakeside campus to see if it appeals to the target market it's trying to acquire. Parked it for about 5 minutes in front of Starbucks and watched the crowd.
Verdict - the looks is spot on. It seems to turn heads very easily, as people start to wonder what car it is. Most of them thought it was a Megane; which we can't penalise them for thinking it is. Because upon closer inspection, we found that the styling cues seemed to be borrowed from a couple of cars. The rear certainly looks like a Megane, if you're anal enough, you'll notice that the roofline looks a little like the Nissan GTR and the front has some resemblance from the Citroen DS3. But is it a bad thing though?
These are very good looking cars, and combining the looks has proven a success with the simple fact that it turns heads. We certainly love the centerised exhausts at the back, giving the Veloster a sporty look. Don't despair over the 3 door concept, as it will grow on you eventually.
The Interior - 8/10
To appeal this car to the youngsters, Hyundai has fiddled with establishing the needs of an average teenager in a car. This move has made the interior a rather pleasant place to be in.
Entering for the first time, you'll notice that there is a small little resistive touchscreen on the centre console of the car. We think that is just brilliant. The material used for the dashboard is sublime for its class, giving a touch of euro feel. It comes with 2-tone leather seats which is an absolutely cool touch. They don't ideally hug you very well, but they're comfortable to sit in, which makes everyday driving comfortable and joyous.
Over the period we had the car, we never found it dull or boring to drive in. The Veloster comes with keyless go, with a push start button. The sound system is acceptable, although it could use a little more bass boost. It comes with iPod and USB connectivity, which is exactly what most people need these days. Especially the Veloster's target market in mind.
Just for kicks, there's a little game called "Blue Max". What it does is it keeps scores of how economical you've been driving in a period of 10 minutes. The lighter you are on the throttle, the more economical you'd be - therefore the higher you get to score. We scored 28,713 in the game, with a mixture of highway and traffic, which we reckon seems pretty good.
The rear headroom may be a little difficult for people above 5ft7" but, theres sufficient legroom and a relatively big boot for its size. With the seats folded down, you could fit even a mountain bike in it! ~
The Verdict - 22/30
Yes, the Veloster is well made, and comes with a very interesting look. It is very easy to live with and the interior is very welcoming.
It handles pretty well, but it could really use a little more torque. We reckon the turbocharged version would simply cure this lust for power and torque. Because of the lack of torque, its not as economical or eco-friendly as a Honda CRZ, but with the target market in mind, it will appeal easily to the teenagers looking for a first car.
The Hyundai Veloster comes with 5 years warranty (or 300,000kms) for RM116,901.50 (otr inclusive of insurance*).

"Dan Barber and Robert Peterson's Life Everlasting is clear, timely, and important. It is biblical, too, both in content and in structure, as it refrains from speculation and highlights the Bible's own key themes of heaven."
That endorsement by Chris Morgan sums up this book well:
Dan C. Barber and Robert A. Peterson. Life Everlasting: The Unfolding Story of Heaven. Explorations in Biblical Theology. Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2012.
- 238 pp.
- 19-page PDF available here (includes the table of contents)
- Endorsements by Darrin Patrick, Sam Storms, Stephen Wellum, Stephen Nichols, and others
The authors give a road map to the book:
We will treat five major biblical pictures or themes that portray heaven's final state. Why did we choose these themes from among the many in Scripture? Because we find them compelling and encompassing of some of the others. We will trace each picture from Genesis to Revelation and will devote ten chapters to this task. We will allot two chapters apiece to each of the pictures:
- creation,
- rest,
- kingdom,
- presence, and
- glory.
The first chapter devoted to each picture will describe it in terms of creation, fall, and redemption. And the following chapter will describe that same picture in terms of the restoration. (p. 13, formatting added)
The book focuses on major biblical themes, but it also includes an appendix that answers fifteen "Frequently Asked Questions about Heaven" (pp. 197–212). (Some of the answers refer to sections of the book that answer the question.)
- What Common Questions about Heaven Does Scripture Not Answer?
- What Happens When Believers Die?
- What about Purgatory?
- Should People Talk to the Dead?
- What about Near-Death Experiences?
- What Are the Crowns That Believers Receive in Heaven?
- Are There Levels in Heaven according to Rewards?
- Will We Be All-Knowing in Heaven?
- Will the Current Earth Be Completely Destroyed and a Brand-New Earth Created?
- Will We Recognize Others in Heaven?
- Will We Be Married and Enjoy Sex in Heaven?
- What Kind of Bodies Will We Have in Heaven?
- What Happens to Babies Who Die?
- Will There Be Sorrow in Heaven over Those in Hell?
- Will Everyone Go to Heaven?
For example, they answer Q11 on pp. 43–46, partly by quoting C. S. Lewis (p. 45):
C. S. Lewis helps us to understand that there is pleasure that is more enjoyable than sex and an intimacy deeper than the union of husband and wife:
Our present outlook might be like that of a small boy who, on being told that the sexual act was the highest bodily pleasure[,] should immediately ask whether you ate chocolates at the same time. On receiving the answer "No," he might regard absence of chocolates as the chief characteristic of sexuality. In vain would you tell him that the reason lovers in their carnal raptures don't bother about chocolates is that they have something better to think of. The boy knows chocolate: he does not know the positive thing that excludes it. We are in the same position. We know the sexual life; we do not know, except in glimpses, the other thing which, in Heaven, will leave no room for it. [Note: C. S. Lewis, Miracles (New York: HarperOne, 2001), 261–62.]

University Extension specialists say volunteers entering previously flooded homes or building should make sure that electricty is turned off before entering the premise.
Flooded homes and businesses may contain disease causing organisms and large amounts of mold and mildew.
It's recommended that volunteers wear a N-95 mask or a better respirartor to reduce exposure to these contaminants.
Afirst aid kit is a must to have to treat any cuts or scrapes and to reduce the risk of infection.
For more flood safety information contact the Holt County Health Department or the Holt County University of Missouri Extension Center.

One of the most frequent comments I hear from practitioners is that they know what they should be doing to grow their practices, but they can't seem to actually get it done.
The go-to reason for most practitioners that we speak to is time – that there's just not enough of it. I'm not so sure. Time is tough, and we almost always wish we had more of it, but I think that there are more insidious barriers. They come disguised as not enough time, and that makes them all the more dangerous.
These 4 simple questions are ones you can ask yourself to identify and beat those barriers. The next time you feel like you're "stuck" somewhere in the marketing process, run through these four questions until you find the barrier – it's there somewhere.
Question #1: Have I simplified this enough?
Say, for example, that your to-do list – mental or otherwise – reads "Email newsletter". It's definitely low-hanging fruit – an email newsletter is cheap, easy and remarkably effective – but it's been on your to-do list for so long you can't remember when you put it there.
So why isn't it done? The answer in this case may be complexity – you haven't broken the task down into small enough pieces. "Email newsletter" is a big, amorphous blob, made up of a bunch of tiny steps. Each of the tiny steps is actually quite simple, and requires very little time. But the blob? It doesn't have a starting point, and before we even get a chance to tackle it, our brain has said, "I don't know how to do that," and we're back to checking email or Facebook for the hundredth time.
Solution: The answer to complexity isn't to change the task, or ignore it, but to break it into smaller pieces. What's the very first step you need to take to make your email newsletter happen? For us, it was to find a tool to do the job. Sending a newsletter out manually is a drag – you need a tool that lets you add addresses, puts a signup form on your website, let's people unsubcribe, gives you cool templates, etc.
Here's what "email newsletter" looks like when we simplify:
- Choose a tool for the job
- Sign up
- Add addresses
- Enter content into the template
- Proofread
- Send
Let me help with the first two steps: Go to MailChimp, and sign up. It's free for up to 1000 subscribers and 6000 sent emails. That'll handle the newsletter needs of most small to medium practices with no up-front risk.
Voila. First two steps of 6 are done. Total time: 3 minutes. Do one of each of the remaining steps each day, and you'll be done before the week is out.
Question #2: Am I making this bigger than it has to be?
That same newsletter can get stuck at step 4 because we've turned the actual deliverable – the newsletter – into a big, hairy deal. In our minds, it's this long and intricate email filled with articles, photographs, book reviews, recipes, testimonials from patients, a survey, a special gift for subscribers and an audio interview with the Dalai Lama.
Cut yourself some slack.
Give yourself permission to send out a newsletter that's a hundred words long, that has no other purpose other than to be useful for your patients. A simple health tip. A link to a video. A great book you just read. That's it. One hundred words is just a fraction of this blog post. Total time: 10 minutes.
Question #3: Am I aiming for perfect?
How many times have you taken something almost all the way there? An article. A presentation. A sign. A flyer. You get job almost done, but then it languishes at the "I just need to tweak it a bit" stage forever.
Perfect is the enemy of done.The solution? Choose. Do you want what you're doing to be perfect, or do you want it to be done?
It's your practice, so you get to decide. But you can't have both.
Question #4: Do I need help?
Sometimes you really don't have the skills, the time, or the tools to get the job done. Don't let that stop you.
- Is there someone who can do a marketing job better than you? Write an article? Create print materials? Organize events?
- Is there someone who has a skill set you simply don't have? Creating a website? Using social media?
- Is there someone who can do things that you really don't have time for? After all, you can't be in two places at once – maybe someone else should work the health show booth on your behalf.
Looking back, I really wish we'd hired a kind of catch-all marketing person whose job was to delight clients, write press releases, go to networking events, organize our marketing, talk to patients. I think it would have paid off handsomely.
Dealing With Your Next Marketing Barrier
The next time you find something languishing on your to-do list, run through these four questions. More often than not, you'll find one that pops out as the culprit. Once you've identified it and beat it, you'll find things happen far more quickly and easily.

If you have been been paying attention to this site or my Twitter feed this week then you know that I have been doing a NL Central preview that started with talking with a blogger with each of the NL Central team and asked them 15 questions concerning this season and what they expect. After those were done I put up a three part Pirates preview that I spent entirely too much of my time on.
If you were unable to check all them out then you are in luck because I have put all the links in one spot where you can look at all the previews.
Chicago Cubs - [Bleacher Nation] - [Preview]
Cincinnati Reds - [Redleg Nation] - [Preview]
Milwaukee Brewers - [Disciples of Uecker] - [Preview]
St. Louis Cardinals - [Cards Conclave] - [Preview]
Pittsburgh Pirates - [Part 1 - Position Player] [Part 2 - Pitching] [Part 3 - Observations & Predictions]
Please give a follow to all the blogs that helped me out with this. This is the third year that I have put this together and they all have been overly helpful and knowledgeable and should be your go-to for discussion on their respective teams.
Hope you all enjoyed it.

New to the site and had a question with regards to ad valorem taxation. I'm from Indiana and was doing a little research with regards to property tax in my state. Governor Noah Noble (elected 1831), enacted the first ad valorem tax on property back in 1833.
Now, regarding: "ad valorem", the Black's Law Dictionary, 6th edition, Lexicographers wrote:According to value. A tax imposed on the value of property. The more common ad valorem tax is that imposed by states, counties and cities on real estate. Ad valorem taxes, can however, be imposed upon personal property; e.g., a motor vehicle tax may be imposed upon the value of an automobile and is therefore deductible as a tax. A tax levied on property or an article of commerce in proportion to its value, as determined by assessment or appraisal. Callaway v. City of Overland Park, 211 Kan. 646, 508 P.2d 902, 907.
The part that strikes me, is within Indiana we call our property tax an ad valorem tax. This is taxation, at least in my opinion, on an objects value or maybe more accurately "potential" to create value with commerce. I believe a homestead deduction has to do with this. The deduction is removing part of your property appurtenant to the land that you claim to dwell in from taxation (the part that isn't used in commerce). In some states a monetary cap is imposed. Either way, the other part of the property (not your shelter) I believe is assumed by the municipality to be used in commerce (this used to be a farm, or now multiple unit dwelling, one in which you aren't living in). I believe this is why they can impose a tax, because really, by filing a homestead deduction, the property owner is basically claiming he/she is using his/her property other then the dwelling in commerce.
So the question comes in two parts. Were municipalities setup prior to 1871 (Corp U.S.) in other states, maybe you could use Colorado as an example? Was ad valorem taxation, even back then, imposed on all property, or just those using their property in commerce (farms, fishing, etc.). I seem to be stuck in my research. I believe strongly my taxation has to do with my claim as a resident within the state or municipality, and in doing so puts me under the umbrella of statutory/code imposition from that municipality, but I'm just trying to start at the beginning. Any response would be appreciated."

Earth Day began back in April of 1979 coinciding with the birth of the environmental movement. Poor air and water quality were fundamental to the movement, along with protecting endangered species, a push that drew support from all sides of the political spectrum in an effort to save the earth we inhabit. We've come a long way since those first days but we're not there yet. While many of us yearn for a gas and oil free lifestyle, our technology is not quite there. But that doesn't mean we can't make real differences in our every day lives.
Most of us recycle our plastics and glass, newspaper and cardboard. Many of us conserve water with every flush, every faucet turn, but how about moving our conservation efforts into the kitchen, the backyard? Eating is a must for life, but sometimes we prepare too much. We seal the leftovers, eat what we can, but why not compost? What goes in, must come out, right? 🙂 As I tell the kids, there's nothing easier than growing our own dirt. Kitchen scraps, fall leaves, grass cuttings–it all works! And the things our compost pile can grow–squash, beans and sweet potato (as seen below). It's so EASY!
It's a real way to make a real difference. A good beginning. As with any new endeavor, start small, allow those new lifestyle actions to grow into habits. How about saving the gas it takes a truck to haul your fresh veggies around town, across the country, and grow your own? It's a lot easier than you think. I mean, if my compost pile can do it, you can do it. And instead of depositing that old newspaper into the recycle bin, use it as "mulch" around your plants in the garden. Does a wonderful job of retaining moisture and breaks down into the soil without any harmful effects.
Don't read the newspaper? Me, neither. I'm an ereader, now. But old leaves, pine tree needles and/or hay will work just as well.
Speaking of moisture and conservation, try harvesting the rain to reuse at your leisure! A simple gutter "redirect" will siphon the rain off the rooftop and into your awaiting barrel. Add a spigot and you're in business!
It's not hard. None of its hard. But it does require effort. Thought. Intent. And that's what the annual Earth Day celebration means to me. It's a reminder to us all that we are the custodians of the planet. If we each did our part, we could live in harmony with nature. Animals, too, but that's another post for another day. 🙂
Here's to wishing you joy and good health on this Earth Day, and hope you reap abundance from this beautiful earth.

Now, botox for Karwa Chauth!
Women in the city are going the extra mile to look their best
Women in the city are going the extra mile to look their best
With the festive season on, women in the city are leaving no stone unturned to impress their better halves on the occasion of Karwa Chauth this year.
Rather than going for traditional ways like facial and mehendi, women are opting for new technologies such as botox, treatment for scars and marks.
"This year, women are getting various things done for their skin. During this month, we get large number of women coming to us to get a new look.
This year, we have introduced photo-rejuvenation, which used laser treatment for rejuvenation of the skin.
The newly introduced technique has become quite popular among women," said Dr Vandana Chatrath, dermatologist, Delhi Dermatologist Group.
No pain, no gain
"Women are coming to us for botox, laser hair reduction, fillers for lips and cheeks.
During the festive season, every woman wants to look her best, so to get a glow and improve their skin structure, they generally opt for these new methods.
They want quick fixtures," said Dr Simal Soin, medical director, Three Graces.
The cost of the treatment is around Rs 20,000. According to doctors, women from the age group of 25- 45 years are mostly seen coming for the therapy.
"The business is much better than last year. I am giving three to four botox treatments in a day," Dr Soin added.
Tamanna (29), recently married, said, "Though I got a facial done before my marriage, my skin still looked dull due to frown lines and other marks.
I went for botox for frown lines and microdermabrasion for post-acne scarring and marks. On my first Karwa Chauth, I wanted to look my best."
"This is the best gift I can offer my husband after six years of our marriage. I am presenting him the younger me and I am sure it will sweep him off his feet.
I am going for a lip augmentation," said Preeti Arora, a businesswoman in Defence Colony.
Improve your face value
Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines. It is typically used in people aged 18 to 65.
Botox works by blocking nerve transmission to temporarily reduce the contractions of the facial muscles that cause frown lines.
It has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for wrinkles, and botox injections are becoming increasingly popular.

Carrot Cake Cookies
When I saw these cookies at Dinner and Dessert I knew I wanted to make them. I love carrot cake and I had never considered a carrot cake cookie–what a great idea! These cookies are exactly what you would expect–each one packs delicious carrot cake goodness into two bites of a cookie. (The only thing missing is a big dollop of cream cheese frosting!)
Carrot Cake Cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 loosely packed shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup currants
- 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl combine first 10 ingredients with 3/4 cup water. Beat on low speed until well blended. Stir in carrots, currants, and coconut.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoons (or tablespoons, depending on how big you want your cookies) onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Leave about one inch between each. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned but still soft in the center. Cool on wire racks.

quarium lighting plays a vital role in maintaining healthy aquarium inhabitants. Photosynthetic organisms such as plants or certain corals require a reliable light source to thrive. Many hobbyists focus on satisfying lighting requirements based primarily on fixture wattage. However, the length of time your aquarium lights are on (photoperiod) is just as important to the welfare of photosynthetic organisms as wattage.
Advanced Lighting Option
The Marine Pro Light hood combines brilliant HQI metal halide lamp(s), high output T-5 actinic lamps, LED accent lights and an integrated digital timer for power you can control. This high output fixture has a high-tech digital timer built right in the unit to eliminate the need for multiple power cords and external timers. The timer controls HQI, T-5s, and LEDs independently for custom lighting options.

Well, that's interesting. What some already speculated has now been confirmed by Reuters: Apple's 'victory' in Germany turns out to be remarkably hollow. While Samsung Germany may no longer sell or advertise the Galaxy Tab 10.1, this ban does not cover anybody else. So, retailers will still be able to sell the device - including purchasing new stock from other Samsung branches.

Tuscan cooking is famous for simple dishes that let the flavor of simple ingredients shine. This black kale on crusty toasts is one of them. Also called dinosaur kale or lacinto kale, black kale is abundant in the region. Cook it until tender, then chop it coarsely, arrange it on the bread, and sprinkle with olive oil.
|bunch black kale
|Salt, to taste
|small piece Parmesan rind (about 2-by-2-inches)
|loaf crusty bread, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
|Olive oil (for sprinkling)
|clove garlic, halved
|Black pepper or crushed red pepper, to taste
1. Trim about 1 inch of the thick stalk off the ends of the kale. If the stalks are too long to fit in your pot, cut them in half. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Parmesan rind and kale. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the greens and stems are tender.
2. Drain the kale into a colander and rinse with cold water. Squeeze the kale in your hands to remove the excess moisture. Chop it coarsely.
3. Toast the bread until golden. Arrange the bread on a platter and sprinkle with olive oil. Rub the cut side of the garlic on the bread. Add a small mound of kale, then black or red pepper. Finish with more oil.

WB: Bangladesh origin voters face Rao's axe
January 12, 2006 18:56 IST
Election Commission Observer K J Rao on Thursday struck off voters of Bangladeshi origin from the electoral rolls during his visit to Karimpur and Tehatta areas in West Bengal's Nadia district, bordering Bangladesh.
Rao, who is on a six-day visit to the district since Monday last to supervise the revision of electoral rolls and the election machinery, went from door to door in these areas and talked to the voters. The Bihar election hero met leaders of political parties in Krishnagar and scanned the list for voters of Bangladeshi origin and struck off their names. Also deleted were the names of married women who no longer resided in the area.
Rao had on Wednesday visited various parts of Nabadwip, Shantipur, Phulia and Ranaghat and deleted names of several voters were either dead or non-resident. He also met district officials at the Block Development Office at Phulia in the bordering district.
Rao is one of 19 observers�sent by the Election Commission to the state, where there have been widespread allegations by political parties of irregularities in the voters' list.

Home » Balance » Why Are Vanderbilt Students So Happy
Posted by Jay Watson on Monday, August 4, 2014
A new ranking from The Princeton Review confirms a fact that's plain to anyone who steps foot on campus: Vanderbilt students are happy. In fact, the new ranking puts Vanderbilt as the #1 happiest student body in the land. If you know Vanderbilt students, this ranking won't come as a surprise because they are a really happy group. What accounts for this Pharrell-level of student happiness? Here are a few ideas:
Balance. Vanderbilt students enjoy an unparalleled balance of advanced academics and life outside of the classroom. Sure, this is a top 20 school where students are engaged in high-level research and scholarship, but what happens in class is only a part of life here. Vanderbilt students are passionate about the arts, music, sports, Greek life, service, business, politics, and more. With over 500 student organizations, the list goes on and on. Imagine a finals study break on the lawn with Kid Cudi, The National, and half a dozen rising performing artists. That's Rites of Spring, VU's annual pre-finals music festival, and that's the kind of balance that puts a smile on the faces of Vanderbilt students.
Affordability. Financial aid that's need-blind, meets 100% of demonstrated need, and includes grants rather than loans – that's the kind of affordability that makes for happy students. Approximately two thirds of undergraduates receive some form of financial assistance, and the average financial aid package for the 2013/2014 year was $44,720. Knowing that your education is a great value has to be a factor in the happiness of Vanderbilt students.
Academic Community. "Vanderbilt isn't competitive," I often hear students say. It's a place where you can get a great education surrounded by excellent peers – without feeling competitive pressure or cutthroat rivalry with other students. The atmosphere at Vanderbilt is simultaneously challenging and collaborative. Perhaps this is something that grows out of the first-year experience at The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons, where new students bond together over the friendly competition of the Commons Cup and enjoy the support of upper class students and Faculty Heads of House.
Diversity. Vanderbilt students come from a broad array of backgrounds, from across the country and around the world. The wide range of experiences and interests they bring with them makes the Vanderbilt community an incredibly vibrant and welcoming place. In my experience, VU students love the fact that they're able to make new friends from such an interesting and diverse mix of students.
Nashville. Vanderbilt students get to live in the heart of the place The New York Times recently called "America's next 'It' city." Combining cosmopolitan flair with southern hospitality, Nashville is undoubtedly one of the coolest places in the world to be a college student. With an incredible music scene that is so much more than country and a food culture that goes beyond the meat-and-three, Nashville is full of surprises.
These are just my theories. Check out the videos below to hear current Vanderbilt students talking about what makes them happy.

MeterMaid's configuration is stored in msg.conf and is maintained by configutil. Here are some of the settings currently supported by MeterMaid. Defaults are in parenthesis. See configutil Parameters in Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.3 Administration Reference for complete list of MeterMaid parameters.
Chapter 19, Throttling Incoming Connections Using MeterMaid
local.metermaid.enable This setting must be set to yes on the system that will run the MeterMaid daemon so that the Watcher will start and control MeterMaid.
logfile.metermaid.* These settings are the same as those used by imap, pop, and other services. By default MeterMaid writes its log file into msg-svr-base/data/log/metermaid
metermaid.config.listenaddr (INADDR_ANY) The address to which MeterMaid should bind. On most systems, the default would not need to be changed, but for multi-homed or HA systems, specifying the appropriate address here is recommended.
metermaid.config.maxthreads (20) The MeterMaid server is multithreaded and maintains a pool of threads onto which its tasks are scheduled. This value sets the maximum number of threads that will be used by MeterMaid. On systems with more than 4 CPUs, increasing this value may increase overall throughput.
metermaid.config.port (63837) This is the port to which MeterMaid listens for connections and to which MeterMaid clients will connect.
metermaid.config.secret (No default; value must be supplied) In order to authenticate incoming connections, MeterMaid uses a shared secret that the clients send once they connect to MeterMaid.
metermaid.config.serverhost (No default; value must be supplied) This is the host name or IP address to which the clients will connect. It may be the same as metermaid.config.listenaddr but will most likely have a particular value to direct clients to one system in particular in the Messaging Server environment.
These settings are used by the check_metermaid client:
metermaid.mtaclient.connectfrequency (15) Attempt a connection every connectfrequency seconds. When the client needs to connect to MeterMaid, it uses this as an internal throttle to prevent constant connection attempts when MeterMaid isn't available. During the time that the client is unable to communicate with MeterMaid, it will return a "fail" status to the MTA mapping engine indicating that MeterMaid has not blocked this connection.
For example, if check_metermaid.so attempts to connect to MeterMaid, but it fails for some reason, during the next N seconds as specified by metermaid.mtaclient.connectfrequency, no additional attempts will be attempted. It prevents check_metermaid.so from trying to connect to MeterMaid too frequently if it is not working.
metermaid.mtaclient.connectwait (5) When the client is waiting for a connection to MeterMaid (either an initial connection or to reuse another already established connection), it will wait for connectwait seconds before returning a fail status and allowing this connection to continue.
metermaid.mtaclient.debug (no) If this option is enabled, debugging information from the client will be printed into either the server or thread-specific log file for the SMTP server.
metermaid.mtaclient.maxconns (3) In order to support multithreaded servers, the client can maintain a pool of connections to MeterMaid. By doing this, there can be increased concurrency during communications. However, due to internal locking done by MeterMaid, access to a particular table is limited to one request at a time, so multiple connections from a single process may provide limited benefit.
metermaid.mtaclient.readwait (10) When communicating with MeterMaid, the client will wait readwait seconds before returning a fail status and allowing this connection to continue.
Lastly, the throttling tables are also defined in msg.conf as shown here. The * in each configuration parameter is the name of the particular table being defined. For example, for a table called internal, the first parameter would be called metermaid.table.internal.data_type.
metermaid.table.*.data_type (string) MeterMaid can support two kinds of data in its tables, string and ipv4. string data is limited to 255 bytes per entry and can be compared using case-sensitive or case-insensitive functions (see metermaid.table.*.options below).
metermaid.table.*.max_entries (1000) When MeterMaid initializes each table, it pre-allocates this many entries. MeterMaid automatically recycles old entries, even if they haven't yet expired. When a new connection is received, MeterMaid will reuse the least recently accessed entry. A site should specify a value high enough to cache the connections received during quota_time.
metermaid.table.*.options is a comma-separated list of keywords that defines behavior or characteristics for the table. Valid keywords are:
nocase — When working with the data, all comparisons are done using a case-insensitive comparison function. (This option is valid only for string data.)
penalize — After quota_time seconds, throttle will normally reset the connection count to 0, but if the penalize option is enabled, throttle will decrement the connection count by quota (but not less than 0) so that additional connection attempts will penalize future quota_time periods. For example, if quota were 5 with a quota_time of 60, and the system received 12 connection attempts during the first minute, the first 5 connections would be accepted and the remaining 7 would be declined. After 60 seconds has passed, the number of connections counted against the particular address would be reduced to 7, still keeping it above quota and declining connection attempts. Assuming no additional connection attempts were made, after another 60 second period, the number of connections would be further reduced down to 2, and MeterMaid would permit connection attempts again.
metermaid.table.*.quota (100) When a connection is received, it is counted against quota. If the number of connections received in quota_time seconds exceeds this value, MeterMaid will decline the connection. (The actual effect on the incoming connection is controlled by the mapping table and could result in additional scrutiny, a delay, or denying the connection.)
metermaid.table.*.quota_time (60) This specifies the number of seconds during which connections will be counted against quota. After this many seconds, the number of connections counted against the incoming address will be reduced depending on the type of this table.
metermaid.table.*storage (hash) MeterMaid can use two different storage methods, hash and splay. The default hash table method is recommended, but under some circumstances a splay tree may provide faster lookups.
metermaid.table.*.type (throttle) Currently, the only table type supported by MeterMaid is throttle. This type of table keeps track of the data, typically IP addresses, and will throttle the incoming connections to quota connections during a period of quota_time seconds.
Metermaid was coded to be as efficient as possible, but may not match your expectations as it uses weighted averages to limit the connection rate rather than maintaining a list of just how many connections there have been over the previous quota_time period.
For example, let's say you are trying to limit connections to 1250 mails per hour (metermaid.table.tcp_auth_msg_throttle.quota = 1250). This limits connections to an average rate of 1250/hour. In other words, if all 1250 connections are used up in the first second, then half an hour later, an additional 625 are provided. After another 15 minutes, you'd get another 362, and so on.
A common misconception is that one hour after the initial connection attempt, all will be forgiven. But Metermaid looks at an average connection rate rather than a specific count. The net effect is the same in the long run (over a 24 hour period, a total of 1250 * 24 would be allowed), but it's not mathematically precise in a short period.
A future goals for Metermaid is that instead of offering an average throughput rate, it would maintain a distinct list of connection attempts, and be able to expire each attempt after the precise time. This has not yet been done because it's a much more computationally expensive operation to maintain than computing an average rate.

Dennis Fast: Chief in-house Photographer and Guide at Churchill Wild
January 29, 2012 by Churchill Wild
Filed under Polar Bear Photography
Dennis Fast is the chief in-house photographer at Churchill Wild and one of Manitoba's best known photographers. His photos have appeared in many calendars and books, including the award-winning bestseller Pelicans to Polar Bears, a Manitoba wildlife viewing guide.
He has had major contributions to many books since then, with Wapusk: White Bear of the North, being the first book to feature his work exclusively. The book showcases stunning images of polar bears and their Hudson Bay environs, but also addresses the threats to the bears' traditional migration patterns and their existence in the Churchill area.
"Polar Bears are among the most magnificent predators on earth and have fascinated me since childhood," said Fast, on the Heartland Associates Web site. "I never dreamed that someday I would actually walk in the land of Wapusk (Cree for white bear). I still remember in vivid detail my first sighting of a wild polar bear and the feeling of awe it inspired with its beauty and latent power. Since then, I have had many polar bear encounters from mothers and young cubs coming out of their dens, to adult males wrestling for supremacy."
"I have even been privileged to be in the presence of a dying mother, and to witness the struggle of her young cubs forced to learn survival skills without her. Wapusk is the story of the polar bear and the land it calls home, and the story of my passion for the North."
Dennis's expertise and experience photographing in extreme northern conditions have put him among the select photographers in the world with the talents for capturing the light and magical qualities of the north.
His photography has been featured in Outdoor Photography Canada and in the Michigan publication "Whisper in the Woods". The CBC followed him on a sunset photo shoot in 2007 as part of their search for the Seven Wonders of Canada.
Dennis has been the prime photographer for seven books including The Land Where the Sky Begins which was commissioned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada featuring Manitoba's endangered tall grass prairie.
As of 2012, many of Dennis's polar bear images are featured in the new polar bear rehabilitation center at Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park Zoo. His new children's book Princess: A Special Polar Bear is slated to be released in March, to be followed by a coffee table book on Northern wildlife in early 2013.
Dennis is a frequent presenter at photo conferences and other events across Canada. His photographs and his stories are legendary!

Sebastian Contoursi, the adviser to Marcos "Chino" Maidana (35-4, 31KOs), is hoping to finalize an agreement for a planned rematch with WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) on September 13th at a venue to be determined. Showtime Pay-Per-View would carry the fight.
Insiders expect an official announcement as early as Monday of next week. Discussions are ongoing between the two sides. Both fighters share the same team adviser in Al Haymon. They fought on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather won a twelve round majority decision. Maidana was very competitive in a bout where many predicted a one-sided contest in favor of Mayweather.
Mayweather went on national television, during the BET Awards, and revealed that he planned to face Maidana on September 13. Contoursi confirmed the two sides are discussing the terms.
"We have still not officially completed [a deal] for the fight. Therefore anything is possible, but Mayweather has stated that Maidana will be his next opponent," explained Contursi to Mas Deportes. "Mayweather has a habit of deciding his opponents very close to the date of the fight. He did the same thing when he announced that Marcos would be his opponent for May 3. He revealed the name of Marcos on March 8th [less than two months before the PPV date]. Hopefully Marcos will be the opponent."

|[en] The ability of microcontact printing to build highly ordered alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Pt substrates within a short time is studied by sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. The deposition of ordered hexadecanethiol and dodecanethiol monolayers onto platinum substrates is achieved in less than 1 s. The film order and the alkane chain orientation are deduced from the SFG fingerprint acquired under different sets of laser polarization. Comparisons between the SAMs prepared by printing or by immersion demonstrate that both methods lead to the same high quality organization. Patterning effects within printed films are also investigated with respect to the layer conformation. Finally, wetting properties of printed layers are correlated with the printing duration, corroborating the spectroscopic results.

HB2600 is another attempt by law enforcement to shut down the medical Cannabis ('marijuana') program in Hawai'i by fundamentally changing registration requirements for physicians who recommend medical Cannabis, but not other controlled substances. It therefore targets medical Cannabis for harsher penalties than other controlled substances such as wax vape pens. It would also effectively ban house calls, and a physician's right to speak freely with patients.
The bill has been scheduled for a hearing Tuesday in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
You can read the current version of the bill here.
Section 4 of the proposed bill would amend section 329-32 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to read:
"(e) A separate registration shall be required at each principal place of business or professional practice where the applicant manufactures, distributes, prescribes, or dispenses controlled substances[,] or recommends the medical use of marijuana for people who can go to a wholesale vape shop and use vaporizers for this, except an office used by a practitioner (who is registered at another location) where controlled substances are prescribed but neither administered nor otherwise dispensed as a regular part of the professional practice of the practitioner at such office, and where no supplies of controlled substances are maintained."
Such language may limit the free speech of a physician by requiring every location where they discuss medical Cannabis to be registered, and may therefore be unconstitutional.
In any case, Hawaii law enforcement should not be directing how doctors practice medicine by severely restricting where they can see patients. Eliminating the ability of a doctor to make a house-call to a seriously ill patient by requiring additional registration is contrary to the goal of the medical Cannabis program, which is compassion. On the other hand addiction to other substances like heroin are bad for health, people who are dealing with this kind of addiction can find alternative like vaping, click the link for vape juice wholesale company to learn more.
Also, updating the Hawai'i Uniform Controlled Substance Act (chapter 329) to be consistent with the Federal Controlled Substance Act might eliminate medical cannabis, which is not recognized by the Federal government.
The Hawai'i Medical Association recommends Cannabis be lowered to a schedule III drug. Administrative law judge Francis L. Young says the Federal government is not scheduling Cannabis appropriately. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia recognize Cannabis as medicine. Even a branch of the Federal government — the Veterans Health Administration — has recognized that Cannabis has medical value.
Hawaii medical marijuana patients can submit testimony opposing HB2600, and specifically that Section 4 be removed, they can also visit Centre de compassion Montréal to get their prescriptions. Testimony must be received by Monday at 2:05pm (since the hearing is Tuesday February 14th at 2:05pm). Please remove Section 4 from this bill.
To submit testimony:
Please go to http://capitol.hawaii.gov/submittestimony.aspx
Enter HB2600 (no spaces) and fill in the fields.
Hawaii medical Cannabis patients should click "opposed" as the "testifier position". Testimony can be uploaded or added in the "comments" section.

It's still pretty safe but not as much as before. Nowadays, there are good number of controllers which have dual interfaces. Usually an ahci interface and a legacy one but there are other controllers which also implement dual interface.Because PCI BARs usually contain IO regions for legacy interface in PCI BAR 0-4, the native driver can work it out by claiming all PCI BARs on attach, which I learned the hard way after seeing the generic driver borking the native one on certain configurations. The thing I'm worried about is that there are a lot of vendors making this type of controllers nowadays and a lot of BIOS implementations for each of them. And of course each BIOS implementation has its own many ways of configuring the dual mode (or more thanks to fake RAIDs) controller.I wouldn't be too surprised if one of those plethora of configurations gets the compatible IO port and BAR configurations mismatched. Especially when the controller is put into native mode. It's entirely possible to leave the compatible IO ports enabled while not setting the PCI BARs accordingly. Some of them might even think that's better to prevent IDE drivers from attaching to it.So, I don't really want to depend on that. I don't know. Do I sound paranoid?-- tejun

Hodgson Content Despite Defeat
Roy Hodgson was pretty pleased with what he saw in the friendly against San Jose Earthquakes, despite the freak goal and Myhill's blunder that led to our defeat.
Speaking to the E&S following the game, Hodgson defended Myhill over the error and said he was pleased with the effort of the players.
'The game was very useful, we lost it to a freak goal in the third minute. The goalkeeper's kick out had the most ludicrous bounce I have seen in a long while. But the players did well to recover from that and approaching half time we were looking quite good. I was pleased with the shape and the way we played, the result is disappointing but, after one week of training, the result was the least important thing on my mind.'
It was certainly a freak of a goal, but part of me wishes you saw them slightly more often than you do these days!

Questlove's Top 50 Hip-Hop Songs of All Time
What makes a great hip-hop song? Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson chooses his favorites.
More News
6. Run-DMC, "My Adidas"/"Peter Piper" (1986)
With a one-two punch, Darryl, Joe and Jason fulfilled their self-proclamation of becoming kings. But a different type of leader – the people's choice. Run and D were of the people, people who spoke, thought, related and (most importantly) dressed like they did. Russell Simmons always stressed that his younger brother's group should be stripped down to its barest elements so that the people could relate to it. As a result, their strongest presentations contained as little music as possible. All drums, vocals and turntable, and in case they wanted to change the face of history, they'd add a guitar line or two. But they wouldn't make the mistake that their Sugarhill brethren made before them: blending in with the rock elite for acceptance. Clearly, the "meet us halfway at the 50-yard line" plea was not acceptable. Run-DMC insisted that you had to accept them on their own terms.
Proof of this demand working? Run tells the entire Madison Square Garden to hold one sneaker in the air, knowing a magic moment (and millions) were around the corner. Russell Simmons made certain that the heads of Adidas were in attendance to see over 30,000 people holding up their shell-toes. The eventual endorsement was without question. This was hip-hop's tipping point. No longer just music to annoy your grandparents, hip-hop meant big, big dollars. The gates were open: shows in stadiums, albums going multi-platinum, endorsement deals, awards and accolades. This 12-inch single was the Paul Revere announcement that hip-hop was going absolutely nowhere.

1987 Mercury Grand Marquise mileage: 154,000. Within the past six months, the car has had a stalling problem and rough Idle. About a month ago, it stalled and would not start. I tired to jump it, wouldn't take a jump. I had it towed to the garage. They put a new battery in and did some adjusting to the Idle. It work for a few days and then it started stalling again, but not bad. It has gotten progressively worse over the month to the point it would stall over and over again before catching. Once moving it wouldn't stall, unless it was in park. I took it back to the garage. This time they put a new throttle sensor or something on that line. I picked it up today, drove it for five minutes seem to be driving well, stop at a store. When I got back in it wouldn't start. I jump it and it started up, then it shut off, no start. Could there be a short somewhere, or starter? We had a probable with one of the electric windows this past summer, couldn't get to come up. We moved the wire in the inside panel and the window went up. Could this be the problem?
have the same problem?
