text: I have a list box which fires the valueChanged event each time the selected line changes. This has the unwanted side-effect of firing an event for every line traversed if you press and hold-down the up or down arrow key. Is there a way of getting this event fired only once when the highlight comes to rest on a line (i.e. when the user releases the arrow key)? Are they different events I could handle to achieve that?

Maybe Billy Joel would like to rewrite his "Uptown Girl" to "Upton Girl" for the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model. Kate Upton was revealed to have the honor of being on the cover during CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman" on Monday (Feb. 13) night. She is to appear on the show Tuesday night.
Upton is 19 and from Melbourne, Fla. She made her first SI Swimsuit appearance last year.
The 2012 issue features 17 models photographed in Australia, Zambia, the Republic of Seychelles, Panama and in the in Apalachicola, Fla.
"Every single girl we shoot has the opportunity to be on the cover, and it really comes down to who has the best picture," Daly told Reuters. "Whoever has that really special, jaw-dropping photo ends up on the cover."
You can judge for yourself whether your jaw drops or any other physical reaction to the cover.
"You will see innovation on every Swimsuit platform this year," said Terry McDonell, Editor Time Inc. Sports Group. "The magazine tablet app showcases the highest levels of photography through scrolling-panoramic sequences, we created a new music section on SI.com, and on your iPad and iPhone the 360-degree views of bodypaint will offer an entirely new perspective on Swimsuit."
Upton is making her second Swimsuit appearance. Other models include 2009 cover model Bar Refaeli – photographed with Rafael Nadal, Chris Paul and Michael Phelps – and 2011 cover model Irina Shayk making her sixth Swimsuit appearance. Other Swimsuit veterans: Cintia Dicker (4 appearances), Jessica Gomes (5), Izabel Goulart (2), Julie Henderson (6), Ariel Meredith (2), Alyssa Miller (2), Genevieve Morton (3), Chrissy Teigen (3) and Anne V (8). The six 2012 rookies: Adaora, Nina Agdal, Kirby Griffin, Crystal Renn, Michelle Vawer and Jessica Perez, winner of the 2011 Rookie Model Search.
Complete coverage may be found at sportsillustrated.com. Here is an example of what you can find at the site:
Tony Esposito received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th annual Comcast SportsNet Sports Awards on Monday (Feb. 13) at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers.
You can cite his 76 shutouts (74 of them with the Chicago Blackhawks). You can cite his 423 regular-season victories (418-302-148 with the Hawks). You can cite his NHL rookie record of 15 shutouts or his six all-star game appearances. All the numbers contribute to the hockey hall of fame goaltender's list of accomplishments.
Before the evening's festivities that benefitted the March of Dimes, Esposito obliged fans — young and old — with an autograph and/or photo. His kindness to all surely merited some sort of honor.
As his wife Marilyn looked on at the scene and chatted with your humble correspondent (what some of us like to think of as work), she noticed a boy in a wheelchair of sorts. He appeared to have been a youngster who may have been helped by the March of Dimes.
"He needs to get an autograph," she said, nodding toward the youngster who was accompanied by his father.
A few moments later, not only did the lad have an autograph, but also some photographs — plus a private session with Tony O. It was difficult to tell who was enjoying the moment more: the youngster, his father or Tony.
After their session was over, Marilyn chatted with the youngster and his father. During their conversation, she made a discovery that caused her to once again interrupt her husband, who had returned to obliging what seemed like a never-ending line of other appreciative fans. She went over to him with the youngster alongside.
"You know," she told Tony, "you share the same birth date."
"No kidding," the hockey hall of famer responded.
"The 23rd [of April]," the boy said with a smile.
And so began another conversation.
You can take away all of Esposito's hockey accomplishments. Thanks to a few minutes during which he displayed his humble humanity and graciousness with the lad and his dad, Tony still would merit a lifetime achievement award — as would his wonderful wife.
Now where were we? Oh, yes. The rookies of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue:
Anyone up for some body painting featuring athletes? More precisely, swimmer Natalie Coughlin, golfer Natalie Gulbis and soccer player Alex Morgan:

Why study Classical Languages?
One fascinating way to explore the depths of another culture is to familiarise yourself with the languages in which those ideas were originally presented. Classical Greek and Latin provide students with a basis to further their reading and writing skills in two of the oldest languages in the world. These two classical languages have traditionally held a central position in Western education, and they remain important for the study not only of the Greco-Roman world, but also of the languages, ideas and literatures (including English) of societies that grew out of the classical world. This major is ideal for students studying a dual program, as it will enhance studies in law, science or languages.
View the course list for courses that can be studied as part of the Classical Languages single major.

"I have been coached by Martin, on and off, for the last five years. I can think of so many challenges and situations in which Martin coached me to a point of breakthrough. Time after time, I obtained victories in areas that had been a source of discouragement for months, and sometimes years. Martin is one of the best at finding the gold within his clients and then building them up with heartfelt enthusiastic encouragement. We would break things down into manageable objectives and I would "get it done". The decades spent as a lay pastor and a business man give Martin a deep wisdom and great tools to draw upon in a variety of coaching situations."

My colleagues Jimmy Vielkind, Chris Churchill and Scott Waldman report this morning that the long-discussed dream (of some, including Mayor Jerry Jennings) of moving Albany High School from Washington Avenue to the Harriman State Office Campus is gaining steam and could be before Gov. Andrew Cuomo as soon as next month.
Over on Places and Spaces, Chris takes a look at the implications of this project — which would involve redeveloping the current high school land near North Main Avenue into private dorms for the University at Albany and College of Saint Rose — on the future of the 330-acre Harriman campus, long considered Albany's last great hope for significantly boosting its tax base.
But what about students and neighbors?
Does it make sense to move a school that serves every neighborhood in the city about 1.5 miles further west?
Figuring out how to get Albany High's 2,200 students there and back every day will be a significant logistical hurdle. Harriman does, however, sit between Western and Washington avenues, both of which are served by main CDTA bus lines.
And, where exactly in the maw of Harriman would it go? The story contains this interesting nugget:
The exact site for the proposed new high school remains unclear. School officials would prefer a plot on the western part of the campus, close to UAlbany's campus. Other officials involved in the location would prefer to see the school closer to Brevator Street, on Harriman's eastern edge.
We already know that neighbors around Tudor Road in the city's Eagle Hill neighborhood sharply (though unsuccessfully) fought UAlbany's efforts to build a new dorm near them on the university campus. What will they think about a new high school?
Would the Brevator side of the campus, near the Melrose neighborhood, be a better option? Will the city's midtown neighborhoods be relieved to see the school go?

Know someone with an eco-entrepreneurial spirit? As part of a series, Scott Cooney, author of Build a Green Small Business: Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur (McGraw-Hill), and Principal of GreenBusinessOwner.com, will present a new eco-entrepreneurial opportunity every Friday for Startup Friday on TriplePundit.
Does a sustainable car wash might seem like an oxymoron? It doesn't have to be. With a little bit of planning, this service can be incredibly efficient, providing an overall water and energy savings over people even washing their cars on their own property. And with no major chains dominating the market, there is plenty of room for small, independent car washes, and plenty of car owners who will appreciate the eco-friendly alternative.
1. What is a green car wash?
Sustainable car wash companies provide car cleaning services that minimize water/energy waste and that avoid using chemical soaps and detergents.
Using best practices of sustainability, green car wash companies can:
- Recycle water used in washing
- Use computer-controlled water management system to avoid water waste (eg, use 25-40 gallons of water per vehicle whereas traditional companies use far more)
- Use water-soluble, bio-based, and biodegradable cleaning products
- Use renewable energy sources to power up facilities
There is evidence that this industry is fairly low margin, with annual revenues per employee estimated at just $40,000. Thus, it is critical that the business be as efficient as possible in terms of its other major expenses, especially energy and water use. The primary offerings include exterior washing, waxing, coatings of undersides, and interior services like cleaning and vacuuming. The more intensive services, such as hand polishing, are premium services that, given volume of sales, can significantly contribute to the car wash's bottom line.
The industry in the U.S. is not dominated by any major players, with the top chains deriving only about 15% of the total estimated $5 billion in annual sales by the industry. Thus, there are significant opportunities for independent car washes to compete in this space.
Canton Car Wash – Baltimore, MD
Big Green Car Wash Machine – Hurst, TX
Clean Green Mobile Car Wash – Oakland, CA
2. What required knowledge or skills are necessary?
There are no formal educational or training requirements for this job. However, you will have to get acquainted with water usage technologies and learn best practices in car washing. You will also have to learn how to make the experience truly high quality for your customers: This includes time to wash a car, services offered during car wash (e.g. coffee), and effectively marketing your sustainable services. Depending on which type of car wash company you choose to start (full wash, external wash, self-service wash), different skills will be required.
But don't worry if you don't yet have experience: According to an Auto Laundry survey, 37% of car wash operators have less than five years experience.
3. How much money is required to start?
$$ (on a scale of $ to $$$$$)
4. What is the income potential?
$$ (on a scale of $ to $$$$$)
5. What is the best location for a green car wash?
Urban locations with little car wash competition in proximity are ideal. Become a member of the International Car Wash Association (or other similar groups) to find locations without competition and to become part of the close-knit community of car washers.

Happiness Quotations "When You Feel Your Worst" #82
On the blog talk radio interview this evening, "Be the Light" host Rev. Michael Carbone asked about struggle, and how you can feel good, even when life is bringing you challenges.
The quotation that showed up for me to read was Happiness Quotations #82:
"When You Feel Your Worst," and it gives insights into feeling better, even when life brings you difficult situations to navigate. Here is more (but not all of it!). Then pick up the book for 125 more happiness quotations to light your path.
It's easy to feel good when things are going great. Happiness is easy then. One true act of courage is to feel good when things are going miserably. When life is throwing you challenges, and you are looking out on a bleak ocean of your life, stop and write down ten things you appreciate in your life. Consider how much you have. Not to say that what is making you feel the worst is not real, but equally real are the miracles in store. Where are you staring? You have control over that. Take it.
It is not where you are exactly at this very instant in time that is important. Remember that life is a river, full and rushing along. You feel great some days; you feel badly other days. Bleak emptiness teaches you how lovely abundance is. Sad teaches you how much of a miracle joy can be. It is the valleys that teach you to appreciate the peaks.

Happiness Quotations ~ Quotation # 40
Go into the space between your eyebrows, the third eye. This is the place where you know without knowing whatever it is you seek. In that space of knowing, there is peace. In that space, there is serenity. You become conscious that you are a beautiful part of all that is, and you are one with all. There is no ego in this space, only love.
~ Excerpted from the book "Happiness Quotations: Gentle Reminders of Your Preciousness," Happiness Quotations #40
Here is more from Happiness Quotation # 40:
A morning meditation awakens you to your truth. A morning moment can connect you with all that is. Being love and feeling love is always here for you. Expressing love is always possible. We stray, and then we come back. We stray, and then we come back again. Be at peace with this. Stray, come back to center. Come back to being a part of all that is. You are never alone.

By Luis Sandoval
Orlando Salido and Juan Manuel Lopez put on an exciting fight this past Saturday night that most fans are still buzzing about. What they are also still talking about are Lopez's comments after the fight where he accused referee Robert Ramirez of being a gambler and not doing a good job officiating the bout. The WBO has since suspended Lopez for one year and have given him 5 days to state his case to have the suspension lifted.
Orlando Salido talked to BoxingScene's official audio show, The Boxing Lab, and was asked about his thoughts on Lopez's comments after their fight.
"I heard his comments when I watched the fight on television and his comments appeared to be stupid in my opinion in saying the referee was a gambler. He was in the wrong with all that" expressed Salido. "The referee did a good job. He stopped the fight when it needed to be stopped. If he would've let it continue I could've hurt [Lopez] pretty bad".
If Lopez's comments weren't surprise enough for Salido, realizing the 2 of the 3 judges had Lopez ahead on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage definitely did. Many wondered if Salido would be able to get a fair shake by fighting Lopez in his hometown again and luckily for Salido, he didn't leave the outcome of the fight in the judges hands.
"Yes, I was very surprised at their scores. I thought 'what fight were they watching!?'. The whole world saw I was winning so I don't know how they had those scores" said the Mexican warrior.
While we'd probably all love to see Salido and Lopez fight a dozen more times since both their fights have been memorable, we wonder who "Siri" will take on next. That decision is yet to be made but one thing we do know is Salido will stay put at Featherweight and looks to continue fighting for years to come.
"I make weight without any trouble or killing myself. I want to make some more defenses of my title and then we'll think about moving to 130 pounds" revealed Salido. "I feel good. It's the best stage of my career. I don't feel hurt or that I'm finished. I think I still have several years left to keep fighting".
You can follow Luis Sandoval on Twitter @truewest007. You can also listen to Boxingscene's official audio show The Boxing Lab every Tuesday from 6-8PM PST with hosts Ernest Gabion, Luis Sandoval, and Ryan Burton.

Microsoft Surface 3 (128GB + 4GB RAM, Windows 10) With Backlit Keypad
Added at 04:33, 16 November 2016, Ad ID: 1001515407
I have a New Microsoft Surface 3 in an extremely mint and excellent condition, I just opened it to verify the package inside and it has stayed 100% protected, clean, neat and functional since then. The Surface 3 is Silver in colour with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD even though you can still expand its storage through the microSD slot, this device is running on Windows 10 and it comes with ALL the accessories which were bought separately, as Microsoft only sells the Surface and expect you to buy the accessories separately if you need them. The accessories include -
* Microsoft Surface 3 Keyboard + Mouse... The Keyboard has Backlight and can easily be attached or detached from the Surface.
* Microsoft Surface 3 Smart Pen... The Pen can be used to control the Surface 3 and do anything on the Surface 3 just like the way other Smart Pens and Stylus are used.
* Microsoft Surface 3 Incipio Case... The Incipio Case ensures that the Surface 3 is Protected with its rugged and robust design, it's shock proof and when your Surface 3 falls, just pick it up with no worries.
* Original Surface 3 Hard Tempered Glass... The first thing I did after opening the package was applying the Surface 3 Tempered Glass on the Surface 3 screen, some have spent thousands of naira to replace their Surface 3 screen just because they refused to buy the Tempered Glass in the first place.

Creator Alan Moore has disassociated himself from DC Comics and called the prequels "completely shameless. ... What I want is for this not to happen," he told the New York Times.
Others who have worked on the series were less dismissive. According to Wired, co-creator and original series artist Dave Gibbons declined to participate, but gave his stamp of approval to the project.
"The original series of Watchmen is the complete story that Alan Moore and I wanted to tell. However, I appreciate DC's reasons for this initiative and the wish of the artists and writers involved to pay tribute to our work. May these new additions have the success they desire." Gibbons said.
According to the press release a new issue will be released each week, with a two-page back-up story called Curse of the Crimson Corsair, written by original series editor Len Wein and with art by original series colorist John Higgins. There will also be a separate Crimson Corsair issue (pictured above).
Here's the full list of the new comics:
BEFORE WATCHMEN includes:
RORSCHACH (4 issues) – Writer: Brian Azzarello. Artist: Lee Bermejo

For once, we found a luxury piano that is a wee bit geeky too. Called the Baldwin High Roller piano, this one is the creation of the famous Baldwin Piano Company with promises of being an ultimate music instrument with no compromises on audio clarity and overall quality. We especially liked the High Roller polished model M because of its casino theme. Tailored by artist Ray Bishop, this one has a brass hardware and a red shimmer plate that will definitely brighten up your evenings.
Not only that, even the keys have that magical touch and we found 'why'. Well, they are made from� real ebony woondern sharps with radisued top and stain-resistant materials. All this jazz ensures exceptional durability and note-to-note consistency. The keys have been hand-painted. The piano is 5′ 2″ X 4′ 9 5/8″ X 3′ 3″ (LXWXH). Also, the hammers are the 'Heart Of The Piano' which have been made from best quality felt purchasef from The Renner Company.
A high roller would appreciate the fact that this piano supports the production of bass strings with the longitudnal vibration mode. As a result, you get greater sustainable clarity. In fact, Baldwin claims that the piano will provide a highly sensitive response to the most demanding pianist. Priced at $55,000 (c'mon, high quality does come with the big monies), check out this musical instrument at CES 2009.

A Love of Math + SHSU = A Legacy Of Triumphs
May 16, 2012
SHSU Media Contact: Sara Thompson
|What started out as an opportunity to learn English after moving to America from Russia has led to three degrees in statistics for Svetlana Steich and her daughter Tatiana Kovyrshina, who received her bachelor's degree on May 11. —Photos by Brian Blalock
Thirteen years ago, when SHSU recent graduate Tatiana Kovyrshina and her mother, SHSU alumna Svetlana Steich, traded their dry Russian winters to move to Southeast Texas, they found summers were not the only thing warm in the Piney Woods.
The duo found compassion and caring on the campus of Sam Houston State University.
Now a spring graduate, Tatiana plans to follow in her mother's footsteps by trading her obstacles for accomplishments and pursuing her own "American dream."
It's a legacy of triumph she says her mother started almost 10 years ago.
After a move from Russia, Steich realized that the college credits she had previously received in her home country were not valid in America. Because of this, she began working at a local grocery store, where she said she "occasionally weighed the option of returning to school but was afraid of starting over" until one day when she grew disheartened with the language barrier she felt living in America.
"I could not watch TV or read American magazines because I was not familiar with the English language, so I decided to use my spare time to take classes," Steich said.
After work, Steich then began attending evening courses at Blinn Community College, which was near her then-home in Bellville. Her intention for taking the classes was not to earn a new degree but to better her English oral and written skills.
At first, Steich said she rarely understood most lectures and discussions, which made her extremely shy in the classroom setting. Her language barrier also kept her from asking professors for special accommodations. A dictionary accompanied her everywhere she went and she used it almost non-stop in class, for everything from reading assignments and test questions.
Her limited English skills caused her to rarely speak with her peers, which caused the 33-year-old a serious lack in confidence.
Yet, to her professors, Steich's grades spoke for themselves.
Each semester, she earned some of the highest grades in her classes. Her academic talents made the quiet Russian student stand out to the faculty of Blinn's English department, who began encouraging her to take classes at a university level.
Following their advice, she furthered her commute by an hour and enrolled in several history classes at Sam Houston State University.
It was not until her first math class that Steich found her "long-awaited niche."
"With math, I had finally found something without a language barrier," Steich said. "That is why I fell in love with it the very first day."
|Lana and Tatiana, in Moscow in front of a statue of famous Russian poet and author Alexander Pushkin. —Submitted photo
After discovering her passion for math, she quit her job, and her family moved to Huntsville, where she became a full-time student studying mathematics and statistics.
"When I first met Lana she was incredibly quiet but clearly intelligent and hard-working," said Melinda Holt, associate professor of statistics. "I remember approaching her to be sure that she planned to take more statistics courses and was delighted when she did."
As Steich continued to make outstanding grades, her English also improved and she began making friends with SHSU students and faculty. After she discovered her second niche, statistics, her newfound comrades convinced her to join the SHSU Statistics Club, where she held a variety of leadership positions.
"It was amazing to watch her open up and become a leader among her peers," Holt said. "Not only was she incredibly talented, but she was a motivation to other students."
In fall 2007, she was chosen by the faculty of mathematics as the recipient of the Brewton Scholarship, which is awarded on basis of academic achievement and potential.
Within three years at SHSU, the once-quiet foreign student who spoke virtually no English earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and graduated with academic honors and an undergraduate grade point average of 3.84.
With further encouragement from the SHSU faculty, Steich continued her education and, two years later, earned a Master of Science degree in statistics at the age of 40.
Upon earning her teaching certificate, Steich landed the job of her dreams—teaching her gift of math to others. She is now an assistant professor at Paris Junior College in Paris where she teaches several math classes in fluent, dictionary-free English.
For her daughter Tatiana, it was the SHSU faculty's caring nature towards her mother that made her decide to enroll in the university's mathematics program in the fall 2009 semester.
"I had already met most of the math department while my mother was a student," Tatiana said. "I already knew they were wonderful people just from the support they gave my mother and how much they helped her adjustment into America.
"The support they gave her, she passed down to me, and I am still thankful for that," she said.
Following in her mother's footsteps, Tatiana earned her bachelor's degree in mathematics this May.
Her freshman year, Tatiana began participating in SHSU's Long-Term Undergraduate Research Experience. Hosted by the National Science Foundation, she and two teammates spent two years, including two consecutive summer breaks, researching under the guidance of associate professor of mathematics Rebecca Garcia.
The team presented their work over "Franklin Magic Circles" during a miniconference in August at SHSU's Criminal Justice Center.
During her senior year, Tatiana continued to be an active participant in Sam Houston State University's mathematics department, alongside the faculty and peers her mother befriended just one year before.
Tatiana pushed herself to the same high collegiate standards as her mother and maintained a grade point average of 3.8 and was awarded the prestigious Glenda J. St. Andrie Scholarship in 2010.
Her academic achievements at SHSU have earned her a spot within University of Texas' biostatistics program. There, she will continue her education to obtain her Master of Science degree in biostatistics.
Both mother and daughter agree they owe all of their accomplishments to the university's mathematics department, which they claim is both "phenomenal and caring."
"Without the compassion the faculty showed me, and now my daughter, none of our dreams could have come true," Steich said. "Because of them, our time at SHSU has been a wonderful experience."

Hi Guys,
I've been having an issue after test migrating a site in that the custom sub-theme css does not appear to be loading, however, images are so the directory is being read and some styles are being applied.
I have used the following process to migrate the site:
1. Move entire drupal install directory to new server (local VM for testing the migration process)
2. Create new mysql DB and user (matching previous setup)
3. Removing /sites/default/settings.php
4. Completing fresh installation.
5. Using Backup + Restore module to restore the DB after installation.
This all works and the site content etc.. is all present. But no matter what I do I cannot get the theme to display correctly.
It also appears to be ignoring the 2 site folders I have under /sites and only using /sites/default (I think this may potentially be the underlying issue).
Removing the /sites/default/settings.php results in seeing the installation page again despite settings.php being present in the other folders. I've also tried to force the behaviour by creating a symbolic link - to no avail though.
As its a local environment I chmod -R 777 and chown -R apache:apache the entire druapl install directory to eliminate a permissions/ownership issue.
I've checked the styles and can't see anything wrong with any of the paths referenced.
I've made sure all the settings under the performance page are disabled.
I've rebuilt ALL the caches (including theme registry) - removed and re-installed my theme etc.... Switching themes to Barktik for example works - so this is definitely an issue with the theme/sub-theme.
All of which makes no difference.
I'm sure this is something simple, but so far I can't figure it out, so any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
define at least one stylesheet from the basetheme
As mentioned on this node under "Style sheet inheritance" a subtheme needs to define at least one stylesheet from the basetheme.
Did you do that?
As far as I can judge there is nothing wrong with your migrations since switching to Bartik works just fine.
Out of the top of my head. Is the temporary folder location set correctly? (Does that folder exist and is it writable?)
I've checked the styles and
I've checked the styles and can't see anything wrong with any of the paths referenced.
so turn off css aggregation, look at the path with has nothing wrong with it, paste it into a browser bar, and check the file displays. If it does not there is something wrong with the path, so go and check that the css file is the folder to which the path points. Is the file there or not? If it is not, then clearly there is something wrong withe the paths referenced?

Thank you Daniel. Please pardon my ignorance - my background is software development. I have one further question - does this mean that we need to recommend an upfront investment in a super fast network and storage hardware to our customers? In other words, when the oracle guys make the scalability claim for their database clusters, are they saying that - sure you can scale your system up and add many more processor nodes - but make sure you spend the big bucks on the network and storage right now because if you don't and add more nodes in the future - your network and storage hardware might not be able to handle the volume.

Labor members protest on ALP
State political reporter
Page Tools
More than half of the Victorian ALP's memberships are bogus, with branch stacking so rife that "real members" are now a minority, a senior Labor figure told a rally of rank-and-file members last night.
Speaking outside party headquarters yesterday at an unprecedented protest against branch stacking, , ALP administrative committee member Eric Dearricott, said he believed about 8000 of the party's 14,500 members were "stacked".
About 100 rank-and-file members from 13 branches across Victoria converged at Labor's city headquarters yesterday to demand action.
In a resolution passed unanimously, they claimed factional warlords were paying for people to join the Labor Party and directing their votes in internal party elections for personal gain.
Waving placards reading "Stop the Stacks, Bracks," protesters renewed calls for Labor leaders Kim Beazley and Steve Bracks to intervene.
"This rally believes that by turning a blind eye to branch stacking, the party is leaving itself open to corruption, destroying the morale of its real members, and deterring many potential members and candidates from joining," said the party members' resolution.
ALP state secretary Erik Locke declined to comment on the claims, but said members had avenues for such allegations, which should be used.
Speakers told of forged memberships and new members being approved "at meetings that never occurred".
"Myself and another person tried to attend one branch in (the federal seat of) Gorton on five separate occasions," Mr Dearricott told the crowd. "On none of those occasions did the branch meeting occur, yet in at least two of the meetings, applications for six branch members for each of the meetings were sent in."
Meanwhile, factional warfare in the ALP's administrative committee flared again last night, when the party's ruling Right faction diverted a motion by the Left for an independent audit of all ALP members to weed out unauthorised memberships.
The call followed weeks of factional brawling between the two groups, sparked after the Right used its numbers to block an acceptance of a report into membership in Gorton. The committee again refused to accept the report.
Geelong West branch member Peter Berrisford was one of the protesters yesterday, concerned after repeatedly reading reports that sitting members in his area were being "targeted" by factional warlords for their seats. "If you haven't got a party that sees that it needs to stick to the rules, then you've got a dysfunctional party, so everybody needs to take a stand, really," he said.
Premier Bracks again ruled out intervening, saying internal procedures could deal with members' concerns.

Its obvious that these are the "younger" JD enthusiasts "collector" tractors as evidenced by the prices they bring but even better is that they can and do pull double duty as a lot are still being used on the farms. Great examples both of them. These have got to be the mid '60,s GTO,s of the tractor world. Over 40 and in our area still some farmers using them to farm 1000 acres.

First Time With My Teacher
There have been some first time sex as a cd. But, this is one with my teacher. It was during a halloween dance we were having. My girlfriend and I went as soldiers. Wearing cut off camoflage pants that were high cut like daisy duke almost and matching camoflage tops. The button up ones. I wore the green camoflage with coffee colored pantyhose and black military boots. Black wig make up and a barret. My girlfriend wore desert camoflage biege colored pantyhose black military boots. Make up and a barret as well. We got dressed at her house and we drove there in her mom's car as she let us barrow it for the evening. Not knowing how we looked for halloween as they were gone. At they're own halloween event. As we got to the halloween dance. We went in. I love the breezy feeling on my hosed legs as we were walking in. As we got into the school and headed to the gym area where the dance was being held. I was getting some stares as was my girlfriend. As we got to the dance we found a place to sit put our coats down. And got some punch. We talked with some of our friends who kept asking me why I dressed like that for halloween. They said they would never expected me to do something like that. I thought that was pretty kewl as they had no idea. A few of my girlfriends friends told me that I looked pretty hot dressed like that as they said I had the legs for it. I told them thanx and on the inside loved the complements from them. As the night went on so did the danceing and talking with others and seeing who was gonna win best costum and stuff like that. I told my girlfriend that I had to go to the bathroom. So as I went to the restroom and was coming out I saw my typing teacher. Who buy the way saw that I was wearing pantyhose a few times in his class. He asked how I was doing and if I was enjoying the dance. I told him yes. I noticed that he kept looking at my legs. I got gutsy and asked him if he liked my costume. He said yes he did. He asked why I was wearing pantyhose under my clothes. I told him that I liked the way the feel and look. He looked at me with a really kind of look. I asked if he liked how they looked on me. He said yeah I told him if he wanted to he could feel my legs if he would like. He looked around the hall real quick and bent down and slid his hand up the top half of my calf up the back of my knee stopping about mid thigh. He said those feel good soft and silky. I said would you like to feel some more. As now I was getting horny he said sure. I said lets go to your classroom. As we stepped away from the dance and went to his room. I kept thinking what we were going to be doing.
As we got to his classroom he unlocked his door and turned on the lights and we went in. He closed and locked the door behind us. I went and sat on one of the chairs and crossed my legs. He walked towards me. I grabbed his hand and started to suck on one of his fingers. I notice he was starting to get a little hard. So I undid his pants and pulled out his **** and started to suck on it. He started to breath heavly. I could taste some of his pre *** in my mouth. I quit and came up and started to kiss his neck and then we started kissing. I kept playing with his **** in my hand. Slowly stroking it. I undid my camoflage shorts and slid them down my pantyhose legs and stepped out of them. I grabbed is **** and started to slide it up and down my pantyhosed leg and letting it touch mine. As now I was getting hard. He turned me around and pulled my hose down so he could slide his **** in my ***. It kind of hurt at first but it started to feel good as I relaxed more and got into it. Which believe you, me it didn't take long. He was going faster and could hear the sound of him hitting off my *** as he was doing me doggy style over his desk. Which was really turning me on. In my military boots coffee colored pantyhose wig make up and camoflage top. All of a sudden he pulled out and he came not on me thank god as I still had to go back to the dance but on his desk right next to me. After he was done I was still hard but, I thought I could save that for my girlfriend. I pulled up my hose and bent down on the desk and licked up his ***. He was like oh you dirty gurl. I looked at him and kissed him again. Put my comoflage daisy dukes back on. As he was getting dressed I told him don't worry this is between you and me ok. He said ok and thank you. I told him I better get back to the dance as he said he should as well. As we both got back to the dance. Not exactly at the same time. I checked my self out in the bathroom to make sure I looked ok. And as I did I entered back into the dance and finished out the night dancing with my girlfriend. Who every now and then I would catch my teacher looking at me. I would look back and smile at him and go back to dancing with my girlfriend.
That was hot!
I very much enjoyed your story hard at work in classroom pays off LOL, teachers pet too? your outfit sounds great, Your story gave me a couple flash backs with my teacher... me on top of his desk laying on my back I was his favorite male student. Never had the nerve to dress in school but I did once at a Halloween party I was dressed a Dr. Frank-N-Furter, stopped by my teachers house to show him, he showed me how much he really like it. Thanks for sharing
that was a great story i want to do it with my teacher when i am in high school it sounds hot
wow i would love to do something like this with one of my teachers
Incredible what a little hose will do. It has the power to enchant many .All my male lovers are attracted to my lose. They love the feel and the sensuality. I can do what I want with them.

The power of my hose has given me emotions to climax over many times.

Thanks for sharing

Introduction to Diamond's New Leather-Wrapped Sunglasses
Just in time for summer, Diamond Supply Co. is at it again, releasing a new style of sunglasses: Leather-wrapped. I think Nicky Diamonds is a genius and has definitely set himself apart from other brands by releasing these sunglasses with such unique features. While other brands have been going with simple "wayfarer" type of sunglasses with their logo printed on the frame, Diamond Supply Co. took it to another level with their customization and distinct style to create a product that really stands out.
In all, we really like and recommend these sunglasses to anyone who's looking to stand out from the crowd. See more images and our review below.
Hardware and Specs
There are two different pairs of Diamond Supply Co. sunglasses in this release: Gold and Silver. The Gold pair has Split Leather Wrapped Acetate Frame, Stainless Steel Arms, Polarized Lenses, and Wrapped Ear Stems. The Silver pair has the exact same specs with the one exception being the wrapped ear stems in croc, rather than leather. Fans of the brand will be pleased to have two options to choose from, both of which look great.
(Leather Wrapped Sunglasses Complete Set)
(Gold, Front)
(Gold, Close Up)
(Gold with Leather Ear Stem)
(Silver with Crocodile, Ear Stem)
Wrap-Up and Recommendations
Diamond Supply Co has always released dope shirts, hoodies, accessories, and snapbacks, and I have a lot of respect for them. These Sunglasses combined with the wallets, coin and lighter holders, and iPhone cases are a must have for the summer. If you're looking to buy a new pair to replace those old Wayfarers, I definitely recommend looking into these. As usual, the Diamond name represents ingenuity and creativity not often seen in other brands. If you can afford it, buy both pairs!

Riverdale has found its Hiram Lodge.
Mark Consuelos has been cast as Veronica's (Camila Mendes) criminal father, who's currently in prison awaiting trial for embezzlement. So far, we've only heard tell of Mr. Lodge, whose name is mentioned often and who seems to have a hand in an extraordinary number of plot developments, but have never seen him.
According to TVLine, who first reported the news, we will continue to not see Hiram until season two, when Consuelos will join the show as a series regular. However, TVLine also reports that if Fox's Pitch, which Consuelos also stars in, gets picked up for a second season, then Riverdale will have to find a new Mr. Lodge.

Despite having never appeared on the show, Hiram Lodge has been a major figure throughout the first season, thanks to his business dealings while in jail. He bought the land that houses the drive in, forcing Jughead (Cole Sprouse) out of his home, and has his wife Hermione (Marisol Nichols) making deals with gang members on his behalf.
He might even have had a hand in Jason Blossom's (Trevor Stines) murder in some indirect way, given his shady relationship with the Blossom family.
While it's unfortunate to hear that we won't actually meet Mr. Lodge until season two, at least (for now) we have a face to put to the name!
Riverdale airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on the CW.

At the Student Loan Ranger, we like to remind students of ways to avoid spiraling debt and to use student loan money wisely. And, with a new school year about to begin, we want to join the warnings about what appear to be school-endorsed debit cards.
At the beginning of a term, many students receive financial aid refunds—money remaining after a school subtracts the cost of tuition. These are funds from scholarships, grants, and loans that help pay rent and cover costs for transportation, food, and textbooks.
Students can receive these funds in a number of ways. Often, schools issue paper checks, or students may sign up for a direct deposit into a personal account.
An increasing number of students also have the option to receive their refund on a debit or disbursement card, which can be obtained through your school and may also have multiple on-campus functions. For example, it could also be your school ID, meal card, and parking pass.
Sound like an awesome, hassle-free way to receive your refund? Think again. As meticulously laid out in "The Campus Debit Card Trap," a report by U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund, these cards come replete with fees, including overdraft and insufficient funds fees, reloading fees, transaction (including PIN) fees, abandoned account fees, account closure fees, check fees, refund fees, replacement card fees, balance inquiry fees, dispute fees, transfer or wire fees, and fees for using a different bank's ATM.
While you should always be wary of fees, in this instance, these will come from your financial aid. Loans you borrow or grants you receive to help pay for your education could instead be used to pay fees to third-party financial institutions.
If you think these fees are run-of-the-mill, think again. Last week, HigherOne, the leading provider of cards to campuses across the country, reached a settlement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for alleged unfair practices and agreed to pay $11 million in restitution to approximately 60,000 students.
So what can you do? That letter you received in the mail seems like you have no choice, as if your school wants you to take that shiny new card with your name and its logo already printed on it. But don't let yourself get caught up in the confusion. You do have a choice.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently issued a consumer advisory with three important tips:
• "You can't be required to use a specific bank or card." Even if there's a bank on campus or you could have funds disbursed on a student ID, schools must offer a paper check or cash option.
• "Consider choosing an account before arriving at school."Evaluate fees. Some banks don't charge for using different ATMs.
• "If your school offers it, sign up for direct deposit as soon as possible." This should get you your funds faster than a check.
"The Campus Debit Card Trap" has a few more key recommendations, including:
• "Don't get the account if you don't understand the fine print."If it's too long to read, consider getting a paper check or direct deposit into an account you do understand.
• "Don't opt in to overdraft 'coverage' and don't overdraw your account."Fees average $34, and, according to an FDIC study, 46.4 percent of young adult account holders incurred overdraft fees, and 15 percent of those had more than 10 in one year.
• "Know the access you have to your money." Avoid ATM fees and plan ahead for long lines and limited funds at campus ATMs.
• "Take care when adding money to your account." Reloading cards cost money, so plan ahead.
• "Complain loudly and often on campus if you have a problem." Your school has authority to renegotiate a contract with the financial institution.
• "Complain loudly and often to off-campus watchdogs if you encounter a problem." You can file a complaint with the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General (or call 1-800-MIS-USED) or the CFPB if you have a specific problem with your student checking account or debit card.
The CFBP also wants you to share your experiences getting financial aid funds to help inform policy and regulation, and the Department of Education will address students' role in deciding to accept debit cards or other banking services in light of costs and fees as part of an upcoming negotiated rulemaking.
Good luck this semester, and remember to use your financial aid wisely. To learn more about student debt and options for relief, download our free manual and register for a free webinar. And for news and tips, follow us on Facebook and Twitter (#studentdebthelp).

The paths of their way are turned aside
That is, the waters, when melted by the heat of the sun, and the warmth of the weather, run, some one way, and some another in little streams and windings, till they are quite lost and the tracks of them are no more to be seen; denoting that all appearance of friendship was quite gone, and no traces of it to be found:
they go to nothing, and perish:
some of them are lost in little meanders and windings about, and others are exhaled by the heat of the sun, and go into "Tohu", as the word is, into empty air; so vain and empty, and perishing, were all the comforts he hoped for from his friends; though some understand this of the paths of travellers in the deserts being covered in the sand, and not to be seen and found; of which see Pliny F26.

Milan chief Adriano Galliani asks for help from sponsors over Keisuke Honda and tells Robinho he "is a new signing."
The Vice-President spoke to Sky Sport Italia on the beach at Forte dei Marmi, where he is continuing to do business for the club.
It has been widely reported that the Rossoneri sent a delegation for talks with CSKA Moscow in order to bring Honda over immediately rather than wait until he becomes a free agent in January.
"Unless there is an external intervention, such as from one of his sponsors, Honda will only arrive in January," declared Galliani.
"The player's entourage, including his brother, are in Moscow to discuss the move to Milan, but only because he is out of contract on December 31. CSKA are a rich club who asked for a lot of money to release him early, so it seems difficult for us to meet their demands unless a sponsor contributes."
The Rossoneri transfer guru also stated there will be no new strikers this season. Robinho has signed a contract extension with Milan after his move to Santos faltered.
"Robinho agreed to cut his wages and extended the contract. I told him 'you didn't do much last season, so you are basically a new signing and have to prove what you can do.'
"It's not that Robinho wanted to leave Milan, he just wanted a return to his 'home' Santos, but as it wasn't possible we all decided to begin again.
"I think we have a squad that is very competitive and covered in all positions. If someone were to leave, then we would bring in a replacement, but we believe this team is able to finish on the Serie A podium."
Galliani also suggested reports of Napoli's interest in Zlatan Ibrahimovic are "impossible," while does not regret losing Carlos Tevez to Juventus. "If we'd had Tevez, then we would not now have Mario Balotelli."

So much for trying to find out what's happening inside Hanley Ramirez's head and how he feels about moving to third base. Mum was the word from the Marlins' former shortstop, who brushed aside our repeated attempts to ask him about his surgicially repaired left shoulder and his thoughts on moving to third.
"I don't have nothing to say," Ramirez said.
Typical Hanley. At least his shoulder appears to be fine. Ramirez took a few practice swings on the driving range before heading out on the course with his Marlins teammates for the team's charity golf event in Miami-Dade.
Caught up with Anibal Sanchez, who said he is not looking past this season when he'll become eligible for free agency. Sanchez recently won his arbitration case with the Marlins but but said he has not been approached by the team about a contract extension that would keep him with Miami beyond 2012.
"I don't know if the team is coming later with that," Sanchez said. "I'm not thinking about that right now. We'll see. Baseball is a business. One day you're here. Another day you're on another team. If I'm in the big leagues, I'm okay."
-- Just to confirm: Despite losing out on Yoenis Cespedes, the Marlins have NO interest in Jorge Soler, the other Cuban free agent.
Just how zany is new closer Heath Bell? Check out his golfing attire and listen to him describe his game:
