2nd Buddy Fish Identification System Concept by Claudia Wißerodt is a fish identification system for scuba divers. The particular system helps scuba divers to distinguish and learn with regards to different varieties of fish. At the same time, this alerts divers to dangers involving certain underwater species. Based on the dive site scuba divers are exposed to a vast as well as tremendous marine diversity. 2nd Buddy has been created for scuba divers associated with all ages with Open Water Diver licenses to Red Sea area. The identification involving fish involves matching the particular real fish to be able to its illustration on the card. Employing 2nd Buddy, divers can place together a customised set involving fish identification cards from the total of thirty-six different cards displayed over a modular wall system. A new set of credit cards can be threaded over a reclosable beaded chain, which can be clipped with a carabiner to their diving gear. The optimal size from the cards, and the magnificent stability, offer even any single-handed appliance of the system underwater. This way the particular diver's hands can be stored free during the dive and the set regarding cards might be skimmed through any time required.
The technique consists of a modular wall system, the box to retailer the fastening material, a good accompanying app for smartphones and also a neoprene packaging with regard to transportation or to use this as a gift package. Your accompanying app is an ideal way regarding identifying fish using characteristics including body shape, colour, pattern, caudal fin and fishmouth. The actual app is designed to show fish along with similar characteristics. The search function makes it feasible to uncover each fish with all the numerical code about the back in the card. Detailed information concerning fish is obtainable in the app. The underwater Scuba Diving Fish Identification System will be novel, innovative, functional and unrivalled in its appearance. The item is UV-resistant, saltwater-proof and rustproof to reduce any loss of colouring as well as general degradation of the materials.

As people streamed into the
Jefferson County School Board meeting May 3, petitions endorsing a tax hike and bond issue for November greeted them in the lobby.
Although a campaign to put a mill-levy and bond proposal on the November ballot has support, the board did not make any decisions.
Instead, it instructed Superintendent Cindy Stevenson to look at language and dollar amounts, and present them for consideration at the next board meeting June 7.
Kelly Johnson, co-chair of the Citizens 4 Jeffco Schools committee, which supports the hikes, said: "It was clear the board has been thinking about this and wants to be thoughtful about this process going forward."
Buddy Douglass, treasurer of the issue committee, said: "Our message is that we understand the difficult economic environment. There are people who don't want to do anything. Our feeling is that's a mistake."
The recommendation from the committee is for a tax increase of $35 million to $39 million, which for an owner of a $250,000 home would be an estimated $30 more per year.
Douglass said that on the bond side, the committee recommended slightly less than $97 million.
"That would cover only the most immediate facility needs the district has, for the deferred maintenance on the 154 buildings it manages," he said.
But district transparency watchdog Regan Benson challenged the plan.
"It is entirely inappropriate to approach the taxpayers for more money when 100 percent of the 2004 mill-levy increase went into retirement last year because taxpayers are making a 15.65 percent contribution, while employees make an 8 percent contribution," Berenson said.

A shaggy brown terrier approaches a large chocolate Labrador in a city park. When the terrier gets close, he adopts a yogalike pose and crouched on his forepaws while hiking his butt into the air. The Lab gives an excited bark, and soon the two dogs are somersaulting and tugging on each other's ears. Then the terrier takes off and the Lab gives chase, his tail wagging wildly. When the two meet once more, the whole thing begins again.
Watch a couple of dogs play, and you'll probably see seemingly random gestures, lots of frenetic activity and a whole lot of energy being expended. But decades of research suggest that beneath this apparently frivolous fun lies a hidden language of honesty and deceit, empathy and perhaps even a humanlike morality.
Take those two dogs. That yogalike pose is known as a "play bow," and in the language of play it's one of the most commonly used phrases. It's an instigation and a clarification, a warning and an apology. Dogs often adopt this stance as an invitation to play right before they lunge at another dog; they also bow before they nip ("I'm going to bite you, but I'm just fooling around") or after some particularly aggressive roughhousing ("Sorry I knocked you over; I didn't mean it.").
All of this suggests that dogs have a kind of moral code — one long hidden to humans until a cognitive ethologist named Marc Bekoff began to crack it.
A wiry 68-year-old with reddish-gray hair tied back in a long ponytail, Bekoff is a professor emeritus at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he taught for 32 years. He began studying animal behavior in the early 1970s and spent four years videotaping groups of dogs, wolves and coyotes in large enclosures. After filming, he slowly played back the tapes to jot down every nip, yip and lick. "Twenty minutes of film could take a week to analyze," he says.
The data revealed insights into how the animals maintained their tight social bonds — by grooming each other, for example. But what changed Bekoff's life was watching them play. The wolves would chase each other, run, jump and roll over for seemingly no other reason than to have fun.
Few people had studied animal play, but Bekoff was intrigued. "Play is a major expenditure of energy, and it can be dangerous," he says. "You can twist a shoulder or break a leg, and it can increase your chances of being preyed upon. So why do they do it? It has to feel good."
When Bekoff began looking at videos of dogs romping in super slow motion, he began to realize that there was more going on in the canine mind than science had acknowledged. He noticed the "play bow," for example.
What's more, he found that canines "role-reverse" or "self-handicap" during play. When a big dog played with a smaller one, for example, the big dog often rolled on her back to give the smaller dog an advantage, and she allowed the other dog to jump on her far more often than she jumped on him.
Bekoff also spotted a number of other blink-and-you'd-miss-them behaviors, such as a sudden shift in the eyes, a squint that can mean "you're playing too rough," and a particular wag of the tail that says, "I'm open to be approached." Humping a playmate during a romp, meanwhile, was often an invitation to nearby dogs to come join the fun.
Such signals are important during play; without them, a giddy tussle can quickly turn into a vicious fight.
In the wild, coyotes ostracize pack members that don't play by the rules. Something similar happens in dog parks: If three dogs are playing and one bites or tackles too hard, the other two are likely to give him the cold shoulder and stop playing with him, Bekoff says. Such behavior, he says, suggests that dogs are capable of morality, a mindset once thought to be uniquely human.
Even morality hints at something deeper, however. To enforce moral conduct, dogs must be able to experience a spectrum of emotions, from joy to indignation, guilt to jealousy. They must also be able to read these emotions in others, distinguishing accident from intent, honesty from deceit. And recent studies by other scientists have shown evidence of these abilities, confirming what many dog owners already felt about their pets.
Scientists have found, for example, that dogs trained to shake hands with humans will stop shaking if they notice that they aren't being rewarded for the trick although a nearby dog is — a sign, the researchers suggested, that dogs can sense inequity.
Other studies have revealed that dogs yawn when they see humans yawning and that they nuzzle and lick people who are crying; scientists consider both behaviors to be displays of empathy, a rarely documented trait in the animal kingdom. Dogs have even been shown to be pessimistic: When a group of canines in one study learned that a bowl placed on one side of the room contained a treat and a bowl on the other side contained nothing, some of the dogs just sat there when the empty bowl was placed in the center of the room; they figured it was empty and didn't waste their time. These same dogs evinced what researchers said was a similar pessimistic attitude when their masters left for work: They were more likely to howl and tear up the couch when their owner disappeared, possibly because they didn't believe their master would return.
Bekoff's recent work suggests another remarkable canine skill: the ability to know what another animal is thinking, or the so-called "theory of mind."
Dogs seem to display a rudimentary form of this skill during play. Bekoff has noticed, for example, that one dog won't begin trying to play with another dog until he has her attention. To get her to notice, he might nip the other dog or run into her field of view. That, Bekoff says, shows that the one wanting to play knows she's not paying attention to him. Though this might seem like a simple skill, it's incredibly important to our species. Without it, we can have a hard time learning or interacting with the world around us.
Interestingly, dogs even outsmart chimpanzees on some theory-of-mind tests. When a researcher points at one of two cups, for example, dogs almost always run to the cup that is pointed to, a sign that they have intuited what the scientist was thinking — i.e., that the researcher was trying to show the dog something. Chimps, in contrast, have no idea what we mean when we point at something.
"Dogs have an amazing relationship with us, and Marc (Bekoff) has done a beautiful job helping us understand them," says Brian Hare, a biological anthropologist at Duke University and one of the world's foremost experts on canine cognition. "Play gives us a peek inside their heads and helps us understand how they became the species they are today."

Taking no chances — or prisoners for that matter — Brentwood High looks primed to make a third straight trip to the state softball tournament.
On elimination Monday, the Bruins made sure of matters with a convincing 10-0 five-inning shutout of Hunters Lane High in the 6-AAA softball semifinals at Granny White Park. Collecting their 30th win, the Bruins advanced to Wednesday's region finals where they will play district foe Ravenwood, a 10-1 winner at McGavock.
The Bruins (30-8) banged out 13 hits, an offensive attack highlighted by senior Paige Katchur's school record 14th home run, a two-run shot over the left-center field fence in the fourth.
"It definitely feels good to have broken the record,'' said Katchur, who has signed with Seminole CC in Orlando, Fla. She has hopes afterwards of signing with a top Division I program for her final two years.
"I didn't even know it was a record until someone told me. To know that my name is going up on that wall at school as the record-holder is a really special,'' she said. "We came out focused on offense, and our defense played well, too.''
Katchur, one of five seniors, broke the record of 13, set last year by Bailee Lott, who is at Houston. She has slugged 23 homers the past two seasons.
"I get nervous in the third base coach's box when she's up, because she hits the ball so hard, I have to be alert,'' said Bruin sixth-year coach Jamie Chiariello, smiling. "She really hit the ball solidly today.''
All but one Bruin had at least one hit. Amanda Buntin led the way, going 3-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored. Suzi Jenkins, Rachel Harmon and Carissa Schmittou all collected two hits each off two Warrior pitchers.
"We were pumped up, knowing it was an elimination game, and everybody contributed,'' said Buntin, who is the sister of Bruin catcher Amy Buntin. "Like my dad (Scott) says, we're peaking at the right time.''
The big surge proved more than enough for winning pitcher Jennifer Maher (17-6), who fired a one-hit shutout, struck out nine and faced the minimum of 15 batters.
Hunters Lane's Caitlin Dickens singled to center to lead off the fourth, but she was doubled off second on an appeal play later in the inning. Jenna Matthews had a nine-pitch at-bat, fouling off four two-strike pitches, before striking out.
Brentwood has reached AAA state in Murfreesboro the past two years, finishing fifth last year and third the year before. In '05, McGavock upset the Bruins in the region.
"That was in the back of my mind and the minds of some of our seniors, losing that game to McGavock,'' Chiariello said. "We wanted to come out, keep our focus, play our best and get closer to state.''
"They (BHS) are just a machine, they just have an excellent team, they're so strong in all phases of the game,'' said Hunters Lane coach Chip Sullivan, whose team ended 18-17, playing a strong schedule.
"At the same time, I love my girls to death, and they have really worked hard this season, I'm very proud of them,'' he said.
LIPSCOMB WINS: Leigh Ann Henry fired a two-hit shutout and struck out five, as host Lipscomb blanked Page 8-0 in the Region 5-AA softball semifinals. Sophomore Lydia Biggerstaff went 3-for-4 and belted her 11th home run, adding to her school record. Whitney Wood and Brittany Dillingham had two hits each.
BASEBALL: Junior Kyle Lehning laid down a perfect squeeze bunt, scoring the go-ahead run as host Lipscomb rallied for three runs in the bottom of the sixth to edge Page 5-4 in the Region 5-AA baseball semifinals. Senior Kevin Davis pitched the final 5 2/3 innings in relief, escaping several jams along the way, to pick up the win.

Considering a PC, how much weather can they handle?
October 04, 2015, 09:30:39 AM »
We're selling our CP19 due to age and physical issues. We've owned smaller sailboats(Crawford Melsoneedl, Montgomery 15). The PC seems like a good choice. With that said, we sail on the Choctawhatchee Bay in NW FL, winds can 20-25mph with 2-3 foot chop. We've sailed in these conditions with our MS and M15 without any issues. Will the PC handle these conditions? I have read the PC needs to be reefed in anything above 15mph winds. I'm also curious if a 3.5hp outboard is too much for the PC? We've had the Honda 2hp which is a great motor, but noisey and limited power for a overcoming a strong headwind/current. Any information will be appreciated...John

I'm not familiar with Choctawhatchee Bay, but I think most PC sailors would agree that 2-3 foot chop is the upper limit. We would head in if the chop was building to 2 feet. We sail on upper Narragansett Bay in RI, well isolated from ocean swells. Consistent winds 20-25 kts would be time to reef, but we have frequently been out in winds gusting to 20 without reefing. I'm not sure who was suggesting that you have to reef by 15, but I wouldn't agree with that. The boom is set high, very crew friendly, and with only 109 sq. ft. of sail, most consider the PC under canvassed, already half reefed if you will. Again, the chop is more limiting, due to the broad hull form.
The PC has a lot of freeboard for a small catboat, very upright, real benches and great storage. The freeboard, and the outward-facing deck flange that deflects waves that do climb the hull, makes for a relatively dry sail.
The PC likes to be sailed on its lines, too much weight in the stern will be noticed. I have a Honda 2 LS at about 29 lbs., and a Lehr 2.5, SS only, at 37 lbs. Both are fine. We sail with and extra 100 lbs. of bagged sand in the forward locker with our normal crew to balance her out. Sailors with electric motors often but the batteries forward for trim. I've never felt the need for more power, but we don't see currents much above 1 kt.
With your experience in small boats, you'll be able to tell if the PC is right for you in short order. Grab a test sail if you can! And, everything you've heard about the Mastendr system is right on the money. You'll spend a lot more time answering questions from onlookers than you will rigging the boat.

Hi Bruce,
We dry sail out of Barrington, usually from the Haines Park ramp on Bullock Cove, but also from the ramp off Annawamscutt Drive in Bristol into Mt. Hope Bay, and the Wilson Park ramp in Wickford.
I'm glad Joaquin decided not to mess with us. Hope to get out this week, once it stops raining!

Couple of thoughts:
1. If single-handing, I'd go to first (and if standard "only") reef at about 20mph. If sailing with crew, I might hold on a bit longer remembering that downwind is different than upwind (easy to get seduced by an exhilarating run downwind and then find you're over-canvassed when you round up to go back upwind).
2. The chop, if it's short as well as steep, may be the limiting factor. The PC has comparatively bluff bows and may be brought up short in a short chop. She'll stay quite dry, but she (and you) may not like the hobby-horsing.
3. Remember that as standard there is no positive buoyancy and the hatches are large and not very well secured. It would take a lot to lay her on her beam ends, but once there she'd be hard if not impossible to recover. Good hatch latches and added buoyancy would be prudent additions.
4. Initially I used a 3hp outboard (air-cooled Tomos), which was way more than I needed for where I sailed on inland lakes. I have since changed to a 40-lb thrust trolling motor (equivalent to less than 1-hp) with a deep cycle group 27 battery just aft of the mast. In a strong wind, the trolling motor barely lets me make headway, but in a strong wind
I'm in a sailboat,so who cares
. The Honda 2 would probably work fine and be lighter, but the only issue you'll have with the 3.5 will most likely be the weight making the stern drag and the potential difficulty of raising the prop all the way out of the water when not in use.
5. Cushions for the cockpit seats are a must as they can be really hard over time (I use a SOPAC closed cell foam cushion, not the fancy OEM set).
6. In FL I would definitely go for a bimini, and I'm considering one here in NC if I get around to it
I really like our PC and find it a lot of fun. Have you talked to the factory about the waters you'd use her in? Clearwater Bay can have some rather hairy conditions too and they may be able to advise.
Good luck, Jon

A. Windows NT basically had two types of users, Administrators and Users. While other groups exist such as Print Operators, Server Operators when it comes to authority of users you had all or none.
Now with the Directory Service holding much more than just passwords and profile settings its desirable for people other than Administrators to update information like address, telephone number (don't want your highly paid Administrators managing the phone numbers!).
Its possible to allow certain users/group to manage properties of other users manually as follows:
- Start the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in (Start – Programs – Administrative Tools – Active Directory Users and Computers)
- Enable the Advanced View (View Menu – Advanced Features)

Hard work, public generosity and a mysterious benefactor were behind the unveiling of new benches at Carnoustie War Memorial yesterday (Monday).
A brand new set of smart black benches officially replaced the older, worn models which had served the War Memorial on Carnoustie High Street.
The project to renovate the benches was undertaken by the Carnoustie branch of the Royal British Legion Scotland, but two separate donations to the branch covered the costs.
The first was from a collection taken at the funeral of former branch member David A. Hay who passed away last year, and after consulting his wife, it was decided to use the money for one of the two benches and dedicate it to his memory.
The second bench was paid for by a legacy left by the late Miss Mavis Aitken. Lynsey Martin, chair of the Carnoustie branch said: "Miss Mavis Aitken left the Carnoustie branch of the RBLS a handsome legacy and we decided in remembrance of her that we would buy one of the seats from her money and put her name on it.
"We think she was a despatch rider at Barry Buddon during the war so we wanted to remember her. The whole of the branch has also been renovated with the money that she left us."

Run into and Drop
Ok so if your walking down the hall and he passes you look distracted and then run into him. Remember to carry books n' stuff. When you run into him drop your stuff and say 'oh I'm so sorry'. Hopefully he will bend down to help you pick your stuff up and if he doesn't than he's a total jerk and get over him. But as soon as he looks up you look up into his eyes to.

Bad SchoolgirlIt is my freshman year, I was in science class. I had decided that I was going to pull a prank on another girl In my class.
A few weeks earlier my brother thought it would be funny if he gave me a dead squirrel go my birthday.
I kept that squirrel and hung it in my classmates locker so it would swing down and hit her in the face when she opened her locker.
It ended up working and when she opened up her locker she got hit in the face! I didn't think anyone would know it was me who put it in her locker. But when she went running to my science teacher, he asked if anyone knew who did it. A guy in my class named derrick said he saw me put it in there.
My science teacher came marching down the center isle of the room. I thought that I was going to get a referral and get sent to the principles office. But No!! He started dragging me to the front of the room. He asked me if it was true, did I put the squirrel in her locker. I started laughing; then he replied, so you think that is funny. The next thing I knew, I was pulled over his knee and I was getting spanked! After about 4 swats he began to pull down my jeans, I began to scream because it hurt so bad. He started talking about how I deserved to be spanked because of all the trouble I get into. I yelled again, " you bastard, I demand that you let me go." Then he yelled back, " watch your language young lady." And then he took off my underwear. And started spanking me even more. Except this time with a paddle. By the time he had finished with me I was balling, my bottom was beat red, and I had received about 24 swats.
My teacher told me to go visit the principle. When I got to the office the secretary was on the phone with my science teacher. Once she hung up the phone she went to go say something to the principle. When she came out she told me that he is waiting for me.
When I walked into his office. He asked me what happened. I told him that I had only pulled a prank on another girl in my class. He then said, " Mr. Tucton tells me that the girl was terrified and that when he tried to talk about it to you, you just laughed in his face. Is this true?" "Yes sir. It is." Then he said, " he also told me that he thought that the only way to get through to you was to give you a nice hard spanking. I believe he is right, you have been getting in trouble way to much lately and detentions don't seem to b making Anything better. How old are you?" I told him that I was 14. "Well then I will be giving you 38 swats. Would u please remove your pants and panties. I want you to be able to remember this so it will never happen again. Now come and bend over my knee."
He then took out his paddle and proceeded to spank my bare bottom.
"I hope you have learned your lesson. I do not want to see you any time soon, or else u will get twice as many as you just did. Now go back to your class."
When I returned to class everyone was staring at me. I couldn't blame them, my eyes were red and puffy and they all had just seen my bare butt from when my science teacher spanked me.
I knew from that moment that I needed to stay on Mr. Tucton's good side because I did not want to get spanked by him again!

Did this occur at an old girl school or did boys get to see you get your bare bottom spanked?
did that really happen

He checked at the local O"Reilly"s(10-12 miles from where he lives) and they had no clue.. He finally did what I told him to do and got the 1/8 npt brass plug at Auto Zone.. I had told him a week ago to just go to the hdwe store..Anyway, I think he went to at least 5 places before anyone had a clue what to do for him even though he had the old one in his hand..Thanks for everyone"s help..One stop was at a place that sells some parts for the Ns..They likely had it but they have never been known for their great service..Several yrs ago I went there and he really wasn"t interested in looking for the N valve guide seals I needed but he did since I had the old one in my hand and he could go to the bin and match it without having to put any effort into having to look it up in a parts catalog... I have bought very few things from this place-I try to stay away.They really don"t care if you come in the door or not unless you are looking for a tractor or zero turn mower or some other big ticket item..Another place he went was suppose to be a place that specializes in fasteners and they were blown away, had no clue..Moral of the story-don"t go to Brookhaven or McComb, MS if you need a nut or bolt.

Lawyers with Intel and Advanced Micro Devices will sit down next month to discuss for the first time their latest antitrust tussle, representatives for the two companies said on Friday.
The meeting has been scheduled for the first week of August 2005. Attorneys are expected to swap names and addresses of people and documents they are likely to use at trial to defend their side of the story.
AMD filed a 48-page suit in a Delaware federal court last month, alleging that Intel uses scare tactics and coercion to prompt computer makers and other companies to use more Intel chips than ones sold by its rivals. Two days later, AMD extended its antitrust claims to include Intel's Japanese subsidiary, Intel Kabushiki Kaisha (Intel KK) by filing similar briefs with two Japanese courts.
Intel's chief executive, Paul Otellini, has said that he expects his company to come out on top in the dispute.
Intel has until Sept. 6, 2005 to file a response to AMD's complaints, court documents filed in Delaware show.
Computer retailers Best Buy and Circuit City, along with hardware manufacturers Sony, Sun Microsystems, Acer, Gateway, Lenovo, NEC-CI, Rackable and Tech Data have agreed to AMD's subpoena for information. Intel has not indicated which companies it has been in contact with.
The lawyers arguing the suits are expected to fight aggressively, according to one legal insider.

Sonny Grey trial: Boiling water killers jailed for life
Two men have been jailed for life for murdering a 70-year-old grandfather who they tortured by pouring boiling water over him.
Rocky Curtis, 25, and Robert Holmes, 24, both of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, attacked Sonny Grey, from Lincoln, in his home on 29 October 2011. He died two days later.
Curtis will serve a minimum of 28 years and Holmes a minimum of 26.
The judge at Nottingham Crown Court described the crime as "merciless".
Speaking as he passed sentence, Mr Justice Saunders said: "The men knew Sonny Grey kept a great deal of money in his house.
"They tortured him to try to get him to tell them where the money was."
Beaten and throttled
Sonny Grey was beaten and throttled, possibly with a belt, and had boiling water poured over him at least twice. After his death police found £9,000 hidden in his house.
The judge praised the police investigation.
He described as "remarkable" the work of Detective Constable Adam Battersby, of Lincoln police, who spent 14 months compiling CCTV footage of the killers' getaway car.
The judge said Curtis and Holmes had not intended to kill Sonny Grey.
"What they wanted to do was to steal his property and they were prepared to cause Sonny Grey really serious injury if necessary," he said.

EDIT: Story from signing day when Walker Williams sings "On Wisconsin"
EDIT: This feature on Walker Williams was published Jan. 21 as part of The News Tribune's 25th Annual Northwest Nuggets recruiting package.
Tacoma Baptist's massive offensive tackle Walker Williams, he stands 6-foot-7, 320 pounds, gave an oral commitment on Friday to attend the University of Wisconsin.
"Making the call to tell the Wisconsin coaches, it was a feeling of relief," Williams said. "They were really excited."
Williams returned from a trip to the Madison, Wis., campus earlier in the week, having toured UW for the second time since April.
"I really enjoyed pretty much every aspect of the program, from the coaches to the players to the school," Williams said. "Coaches are down to earth and probably one of my favorite coaching staffs. I do like their style of play. I wish they passed a little bit more, but if it's not broken, don't fix it. If you can score 70 points running the ball 90 percent of the time, go do it."
Coincidentally, the TNT has a big feature planned for Sunday's newspaper on Williams and fellow offensive tackles Joshua Garnett of Puyallup and Zach Banner of Lakes
Here's an interview with Williams I did on Thursday — a day before he committed, though his mind was made up when this interview was done. He talks about his recent trip to Wisconsin, including a visit to the campus' nuclear reactor laboratory.

Of course, if Obama had filled all those federal bench openings with strong liberals using recess appointments… oh, never mind:
In a classic Kinsley gaffe, the Republican State Leadership Committee released a report boasting that the only reason the GOP controls the House of Representatives is because they gerrymandered congressional districts in blue states.
The RSLC's admission came in a shockingly candid report entitled, "How a Strategy of Targeting State Legislative Races in 2010 Led to a Republican U.S. House Majority in 2013″. It details how the group spent $30 million in the 2010 election cycle to sweep up low-cost state legislature races in blue states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Their efforts were so successful, in fact, that Republicans went from controlling both legislative chambers in 14 states before Election Day to 25 states afterward.
In turn, the new Republican majorities would be tasked with redrawing congressional districts for the 2012 election. "The rationale was straightforward," the report reads. "Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn."
This effort paid off in spades. As the RSLC's report concedes (and ThinkProgress hasdocumented extensively), a majority of Americans voted for Democratic congressional candidates on Election Day, but only through the miracle of gerrymandering did Republicans wind up controlling the House.
Read the report.

Today was our free day – really free afternoon – of the pilgrimage. After morning prayer, Eucharist, breakfast, and a visit with the Canterbury Cathedral stone masons, several of us set off for adventures in London.
When we arrive at the St. Pancras station, some headed off to museums, others to visit friends, some went off to the theatre, and I – along with one of my dearest friends – set off on a different adventure. We went on a journey of vestments and books. (Really are you surprised?)
We effectively did a 10.5 miles loop around the city of London. We walked from the station to Wippells and Watts. We went to the Church House Book Stire. We treated ourselves to a gorgeous lunch at the Goose & Pig across from the Royal Courts of Justice; just a few blocks from where Kaytee got her masters. We rested in the steps of Trafalgar Square gazing out of the city bathed in the emerging light of the sunset. We visited a handful of second hand bookstore and poured over theological and liturgical treasures, poetry, rare first editions, and whatever other oddities we stumbled upon. We wandered the streets of Soho and settled in for a pint whilst discussing Triduum liturgies and ordination.
The city was amazing as always. The conversation was rich, and the company was beautiful. Today I am thankful for the gift of adventures with a sweet and gentle soul. I am thankful for the gift of wandering and seeking out the delights of our peculiar world.
One of the treasures I picked up today was a late 19th century (1897) book titled Lays of Iona and other poems by S. J. Stone. While flipping through the pages in the stone I was in the fence about getting it until I saw a poem titled, "A Hymn Candidates for Ordination." This peom is a beautiful expression of what has been one of my biggest struggles through the ordination process. (The whole of the poem can be read in the pictures below or on page 262 of this website).
O my LORD, most Holy, / Summonest Thou me, / Lowliest 'mid the lowly, / As Thyself to be? / 'Yea, because I call thee, / Take thy priestly place, / Front what may befall thee – / Hast thou not My grace?
. . .
FATHER, SON, and SPIRIT, / 'Tis Thy call of grace, / Thine election's merit / Seals to me my place: / Lowest 'mid the lowly, / Yet I call Thee mine: / HOLY, HOLY, HOLY / Thine, and sent to Thine. Amen.

After just yesterday discovering that there was a Tintin movie in the works…a teaser trailer was released today. So yesterday when I said, "This could not have caught me anymore more by surprise, let alone get me more excited for it." I was wrong, I am now more excited for it then I was yesterday.
As the trailer said, look for Tintin in theaters this Christmas.

I'm not going outside … I'm not going outside …
It's 34 Celsius right now outside, but with our humidity factored in it's 41 Celsius. That's almost 106 F. The temperature is still going up too.
If it was just heat I think I could take it, but the humidity just makes a hot day absolutely unbearable.
We've got the air conditioning on inside so I'm comfortable, but I'm sure if I went outside for a few minutes I'd end up feeling terrible.
Ever since my Crohn's started to act up really badly two or so years ago I can't seem to take drastic temperature changes. It's like my body doesn't adjust to cold or hot temp changes very well.
I do have to keep peeking outside though. My elderly neighbor – she's about 89, keeps going outside. I saw her sitting on her porch knitting a while ago.
Elderly people do not regulate temperatures all that well either. They often don't sweat much so the built in self cooling protection our bodies have doesn't work on the elderly. That's why it's so dangerous for them when it gets hot outside like this.
My neighbor is apt to water her garden in the middle of the day when it's this hot, or pull out her lawn mower and cut the grass!

It may be April Fools' Day, but small business owners need to watch out every day to be certain they don't get fooled.
Some schemers go after individuals, but more and more businesses are becoming victims of schemes.
"Yeah, the majority of these scams are geared toward the small and medium business owners. We're talking about businesses that employ two to upwards of 20 employees," said Tim Caminos, Hawaii Better Business Bureau.
KHON2 asked Caminos if there are red flags that small business owners should be alert for.
"The most common red flag is when they say you can earn an incredible amount of money for little to no investment. And that's the most common," Caminos said.
What's the motivation? Why would they target small business owners?
"Generally scammers are looking at these business owners because they know that these are entrepreneurs. These are people that are in the world trying to do different things to make money. So, they also have a little bit of their own collateral, so that's why they're going after these guys," Caminos said.
Let's face it… it takes a lot of gumption to be a small business owner these days.
"If you're a small business owner, you're willing to take these risks in order to reap the benefits and that's why scammers target these small and medium business owners," Caminos said.
Another favorite scheme is for someone to ask a business owner to help support a certain charity, youth group, or school.
"And so business owners have been duped that way. The best thing to do is, no matter who calls you, no matter what they say is to go back and do your homework. So, if they're asking you to support a school, call the school directly and see if anyone is taking on this project," Caminos said.
Small business owners should beware of the fake coupon book. You pay a small fee to get in the coupon book hoping to expand your business. KHON2 would show you one, but they don't exist.

Many washers and dryers come with optional pedestals that match the look of the machines. Although other creative ways can also be used as can be seen in these two examples. The two pictures above are by Sweet Pickins. Here a laundry basket storage shelf is built underneath the washer and dryer. The storage is painted black to match the other cabinetry. Painted above the baskets are the words Whites, Colors, and Darks to keep things organized.
Next is a laundry room by the Inman Company. Again we have a washer and dryer placed upon a storage unit. Instead of an open shelf the storage is pullout drawers. The white with black top look matches exactly with the other cabinetry. Keeping the look of the room unified.
Both of these laundry rooms were not designed for wheelchair accessibility. However with the pedestal installation, they give ideas to others who are looking to make an accessible laundry room.

Yesternight at the Round-Up Saloon, 10 vocalists and three singing groups made it through to the Voice of Pride finals. Dallas Tavern Guild Executive Director Michael Doughman said this is probably the best crop of talent to come through VOP, and he was pretty much on target. As one of the judges, it was tough to whittle the list down to 10.
Five groups competed, but Steelos, AMPH (pronounced "amp") and Spare Parts made the cut and will compete Aug. 14 in the finals at the Rose Room.
The 10 singers to move on were Dru Rivera, Angie Landers, Joel Canales, Vanessa Guzman, Juliana Jeffery, Blake Askew, Steven Patterson, Carlos Saenz, Christine Pradia, Kristen Philips. They ranged from classic rock to American standards and everything in between. Just like last year, the field is split evenly with five ladies and five gentlemen advancing.
Perhaps a surprise to some — and definitely to his fan club on hand (with T-shirts) — was the omission of Robert Olivas. Having been named a finalist the last two years, Olivas' supporters were brought to tears by him not advancing. However, he does still get to compete with Angie Landers as Spare Parts in the group category, and with a solid performance last night, they could be the one to beat.
Now a note to the contestants: I get it – black is slimming and easy, but after the first, oh, like 10, it got really tiresome. Color isn't a bad thing. Don't be afraid of it. Or bedazzle the heck out of those black shirts and pants.
There were some pretty great voices and personalities on stage last night, along with host Victoria Weston, pictured, but dare I say this couple stole the show during the tallying of scores? They pretty much got a 10 from everybody. When they guy pulled her hair (I KNOW!), and dropped her to the floor only to catch her it was better than anything on Dancing With the Stars. I'm hoping fellow judge Gary Floyd will share some of the video he caught of the two wowing us during Donna Summer's "Last Dance."

Compilation of Loki Picture
So this is a compilation of every image pertaining to my OC, Loki, to the best of my knowledge. It's in roughly chronological order, with oldest at the top and newest at the bottom. Loki was first drawn in August 2010. I cannot give an exact date since I didn't date the sketch. For the most part of 2010 and somewhat into 2011, Loki had a pretty solid design, though I decided to revamp him with a new design, finding the sort of "tribal" look to be a little odd. That's when "2011 Loki" was born, a Loki sporting solid black, whose hair and various other parts such as his attire and limbs dispersing into a black mist-like substance. I further developed the "mist" over the years into some organic tendril looking substance, but in my mind, it has always been mist. I just suck at drawing/coloring mist.

The Governing Coalition is presently proposing to introduce the concept of a "protected conversation" into employment law. The following is taken from a speech given by David Cameron on 10 November 2011:
But if employers are so concerned about the prospect of being taken to tribunal that they don't feel they can have frank conversations with their employees many companies just won't feel able to create those jobs in the first place. ... That's why I want to deregulate and cut back on bureaucracy. Not simply to help business but to create fair, simple processes that are good for business and good for employees too. So we will be consulting on the introduction of protected conversations, so a boss and an employee feel able to sit down together and have a frank conversation - at either's request."
The proposal is favoured by Nick Clegg who has said that protected conversations would allow employers and employees:
"to treat each other like human beings and not like potential litigants"
He echoed the suggestion that the employers felt the need for such a measure:
"Employers tell us they're afraid to have frank discussions with staff... or fear of those exchanges being used against them unfairly, should a dispute end up at tribunal."
Whilst the CBI has expressed enthusiasm, it is worth noting that this does not seem to be something that organisations representing employees are calling for. For that reason, I am going to concentrate in this post on whether the proposals make sense from an employer's point of view.
We presently know very little about what the Government has in mind beyond the essential idea that employers should, in certain circumstances, be able to say what they like to employees without having their words quoted back at them in tribunal proceedings. For a lawyer, the immediate analogue is a "without prejudice" (or "WP") discussion. Where two parties to a legal dispute wish to negotiate with a view to compromise they can do so on a WP basis. They can be as "frank" as they wish in the knowledge that, subject to some narrowly drawn exceptions, the court will not be told about what they have said. The "protected conversation" seems to be an attempt to extent the WP principle into the heart of the employment relationship, covering situations where there is no legal dispute to resolve. Of course, since the policy that underpins WP privilege is the public interest in resolving legal disputes without recourse to the courts, extending the principle to cases where there is no legal dispute to be resolved means that a different policy justification is required.
What is the policy justification? It has yet to be precisely articulated, but David Cameron's speech suggests that it is something along the following lines: Tribunal cases are an expensive inconvenience and a disincentive to job creation. I do not propose to deal with whether that premise is correct. I want to concentrate instead on more practical issues.
The example most frequently cited has been a situation in which an employer has concerns about an employee's performance. The employer, it is proposed, will invite the employee to a meeting, express dissatisfaction with a great frankness and send them off to improve. It is difficult to understand why an employer would want to have that conversation on a "protected" basis. A protected conversation would only make sense if employers were regularly getting into trouble by being too frank with employees about performance concerns. In fact, the opposite is true. Where an employer relies on poor performance as the reason for termination, the most likely ground of unfairness is a failure to warn the employee early enough and explicitly enough that they are under-performing and that their job is at risk. The protected conversation makes that problem worse because the employer would not be allowed to tell the tribunal about the warning that they had given the employee. In performance cases, the more open an employer is the better.
One situation in which having a conversation on a protected basis would make sense is where the message the employer wants to communicate is not "you need to improve or you'll be sacked" but rather "we've decided to sack you. Do you want to go quietly or do I have to push you through a performance procedure?" That sort of conversation frequently does get employers into trouble with the Tribunal. Speaking personally, my problem with giving that kind of conversation protected staus is that I think employers should get into trouble. There is no good policy reason for allowing employers to conceal the fact that their procedures are a sham.
Here is a bit of advice I give the Government for free: Attempts to exclude things from the Tribunal's jurisdiction will result in more hearings. It is a phenomenon known to gleeful lawyers as "satellite litigation". Employers who thought that they were protected from the costs of tribunal proceedings will find that they have to spend time and money trying to persuade the tribunal that they can rely on the protection.
Although the proposals need fleshing out, it is fantastically unlikely that an employer will be able to rely on merely invoking the "protected conversation" process to keep the Tribunal's nose out of what was said. It is unlikely, for instance, that the employer will be entitled to rely on the cloak of secrecy to do any of the following:
(1) Conceal an act of discrimination; (2) Conceal an act of bullying or harassment; or (3) Prevent the employee from relying upon a protected disclosure made during the course of the conversation.
On the first point, one of the specific situations in which Nick Clegg appears to have thought a protected conversation might be useful is where an employer wants to talk about retirement. That suggests that he may have in mind protecting employers against age discrimination claims. If he does, he is likely to be disabused rapidly. The anti-discrimination measures are under-pinned by European legislation which requires that there should be an effective remedy for acts of discrimination. It is unlikely that the UK courts and tribunals are going to conclude that an employer will be free to discriminate provided he does so having uttered the magic words "this is a protected conversation".
Beyond the cases identified above, there is a whole range of other difficult practical questions including the following:
(1) Can an employee refuse to have a protected conversation? (2) Is there any limit to the number of conversations that an employer can require? (3) Will an employee be entitled to be accompanied at a protected conversation meeting? (4) Will the mere invocation of the process be enough or will an employer have to show that the conversation meets qualifying criteria? (5) Will the employee be precluded from relying on an employer's behaviour to found a constructive dismissal claim even where it is clear that the conversation resulted in a breakdown of trust and confidence? (6) Can an employer convert a conversation into a "protected" conversation as it is happening? (7) Can an employer convert a conversation from a "protected" conversation as it is happening?
The Government will no doubt say these issues will be thrashed out in consultation. However, it is worth taking a step back and asking whether a measure that poses so many practical difficulties is worth pursuing when the benefits it can deliver are so uncertain.

The PC industry isn't doing so well. Sales have dramatically slumped, despite the industry's efforts to tempt consumers with Windows 8 tablets and transforming touchscreen laptops. But next week, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas may be the launching pad for a new push - a new brand of computer that runs both Windows and Android.
Sources close to the matter tell The Verge that Intel is behind the idea, and that the chipmaker is working with PC manufacturers on a number of new devices that could be announced at the show. Internally known as "Dual OS," Intel's idea is that Android would run inside of Windows using virtualization techniques, so you could have Android and Windows apps side by side without rebooting your machine.
I'm going to make a very daring prediction, that is sure to send ripples across the entire industry: this is not going to turn the tide for the PC.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
Android is (at least currently) ill-suited to a role as a desktop OS and isn't in the same league as Windows on a traditional desktop. It lacks windowing and has only rudimentary hardware support for peripherals. While full-fledged Linux would be well suited to such a role, many people hear the word "Linux" and immediately think geekware! A much better option would be to simply dump Windows altogether and supply new light-weight desktops (super thin AIO types) with ChromeOS. Google's new tech darling has already proven itself to be a dark horse running because it has sold well over the holiday shopping season compared to comparable Windows systems. It also feels like a more traditional OS compared to MacOS or Windows. Of course it lacks touch, which is most certainly why OEM's are choosing Android instead. The best of both worlds would be for Google to quickly advance ChromeOS by making it touch capapble and adding a layer that would allow the tens of thousands of Android apps to run natively. Then I suspect Microsoft will really have something to worry about!
Edited 2014-01-04 23:08 UTC
Lacks Windowing is incorrect. You need to open up the SDK you will find Windowing is in fact supported. The default window manager of Android is not exposing this. There third party used by samsung that fully supports Windowing mode on tablets. Yes over 20 percent of the Android existing market.
Rudimentary hardware support is very questionable if that is true. Linux /dev and /proc directory is exposed to Android applications. So all the hardware support of the Linux kernel is included. Lack of applications to use more than rudimentary is more the case.
So you issues is Applications not Android itself.
ChromeOS, as running for example on Google Pixel laptop, does support touch.

With 64 receptions, Broncos tight ends already have more catches than in any season since 2008. Veteran safety Mike Adams, among others, saw it coming.
"You think of Peyton Manning throwing all those passes to Dallas Clark during their years at Indianapolis, and you knew tight end would be a big part of the offense here," said Adams, who signed with the Broncos in March after playing five years with the Cleveland Browns.
During training camp, Adams went head to head against tight ends Joel Dreessen and Jacob Tamme, who also were new to the Broncos.
Adams' reaction?
"I thought, 'It's going to be fun watching them,' " he recalled this week.
Tamme, 6-foot-3, 236 pounds, and Dreessen, 6-4, 245, have the speed, skill and veteran savvy to give opponents more to think about when Manning takes the snap.
"We have a lot of weapons offensively," Dreessen said. "A lot of times, the defense does something with coverage to take away something, but that's going to leave someone else open.
"The defense tells you where the ball is going to go, and, obviously, Peyton is good at deciding that."
Dreessen and Tamme each caught four passes last weekend in the home victory over the San Diego Chargers and likely will show up prominently in the game plan Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tamme (34 catches for 312 yards and a touchdown) teamed with Manning at Indianapolis. Dreessen (27 for 250 and four TDs) is a former Colorado State standout who jumped at the opportunity to return to his home state after playing the past five seasons at Houston.
They know what they're doing, and Manning loves their versatility. Tamme and Dreessen both run well, allowing either to also set up as a slot receiver, or even occasionally as a wideout.
"Dreessen and Tamme can play (multiple positions), and that's a big part of our offense," Manning said. "In certain progressions, those guys are the first read. Coach (Mike) McCoy's done a good job of utilizing those guys, trying to get those guys in (favorable) matchups. Mike tries to move those guys around."
Tamme's 34 receptions already surpass those of all Broncos tight ends since Tony Scheffler nabbed 40 passes in 2008, coach Mike Shanahan's last season in Denver.
McCoy, the Broncos' offensive coordinator, said the Broncos — i.e., Manning — have made a conscious effort to place a greater emphasis on tight ends.
"It's (about) the overall philosophy of what we're doing as an offense with the talented guys we have here," McCoy said. "In the past, you saw more two-back (sets) in the backfield. Now we're spreading things out a little more and putting the best guys on the field."
Tamme and Dreessen appear almost as comfortable running a downfield pattern as a wide receiver.
"Joel and I just feel like whenever we're in there and there's a chance to make a play, we need to make it," Tamme said. "We're going to try to throw it to the most open guy. Some route combinations will be the tight ends, some route combinations will be outside."
Manning is considered unmatched in his ability to exploit a defense's gaps or weakness.
"The unique thing about this offense is, if you're open, you're going to get the ball," Dreessen said. "Whether you play inside or outside or slot or tight end or whatever, if you get open, Peyton will find you."

I have been busy with a new job and various other things, among which the creation of Videos for the Systema book, which after many tribulations, I have concluded is just going to happen easiest and best if I do them myself and forget about trying to rely on other people I had contracted originally. It seems the world of media people and I have different ideas about a lot of stuff concerning deadlines and agreed rates and so on. ANY-WAY…
Here is something cool for you though:
Tales of the Gold Monkey (Link to amazon UK)
Tales of the Gold Monkey (Link to Amazon USA)
The tales of the Gold Monkey was a show which I saw only a couple of episodes of when I was a kid in the early eighties, but I was sorry the series (or more likely the reception, as we lived in Botswana then) went off air shortly after it started. I always remembered it though and looked for it online from time to time. FINALLY some genius has put it on DVD, the whole series too!
Now, I did read some of the reviews on amazon before buying it and I was worried that like so many other things from my misspent youth this would have aged badly and I would not enjoy it at all.
I am glad to report this was not at all the case. The show is indeed quite "over the top" but in the same way that Indiana Jones is. In other words, in a way I quite love. And it is a PERFECT show. The violence is somewhat theatrical, yet present, the acting is quite B-class but just kitch enough to make it brilliant and with some genuine moments of inspired B-Acting, and the plots…oh the plots…they basically make this the best damn birthday present I have bought myself in along time. The Gold Monkey has it all. Nazi nuclear bombs, lost Egyptian tribes, anachronistic elements that don't really fit together and B-movie acting. It's perfect. Truly a work of wonder. It has 22 episodes in the DVD pack but I am miserly with them as I fear running out of them. If you ever saw the original show you will not be disappointed if you get this. And if you never saw it before get it. Trust me…B-style films never get this good again. This is like pulp film. Brilliant. It's right up there as one of my all time favourite film things, and probably at number one for TV series, right up there with NCIS and Dexter though these are two very different shows.
So yeah, while I avoid telling you about my life (not much new there) and work (lots new there but it's for a wealthy and semi-famous client and he likes his privacy so he shall have it from me), be grateful I share this gem of cinematic genius with you. More than 24 hours of excellent entertainment. Not many blogs point to that today. It's pretty cheap too at about 25 bucks. So if you are stuck for something good to see on TV, now you know what to get.
One last little bit of info…this series came out in 1982 but in it (although in classic B-cinema style) there is a semi-accurate representation of the fact that the Nazis had more advanced atomic bomb technology than the Americans. Something that is still not widely recognised today and only became public in 1992 with the release of certain documents under the FOI act. How Don Bellisario knew of it (or guessed it) before then is not known, but it just goes to show. All good B-movies really tell the deepest truths. At least about Nazis. You know it.

I'll assume it was staged like pretty much everything she does, but when this guy is peer-pressured into kissing her even though she doesn't want to, things go off script.
You can head over to Fishwrapper to watch the full video. Honestly, I don't know who should be slapped more. I guess everyone involved in making these two people famous, myself included. And at the risk of piling on, Stodden posted the following image on Instagram to celebrate her boobs first birthday. She's clearly a national treasure.

I was still so exhausted from this past weekend. It is funny how you would think that having a holiday would leave me more rested, but I think I am more tired! Despite my exhaustion, I got up bright and early today to catch the first train. I headed for the hills! It was SO cold this morning. I seriously thought that my face might freeze off!
I didn't really speed up the hills, but I was still glad that I did them. My muscles need to get used to the torture during Boston Marathon!
Oh, the whole being exhausted thing reminds me of the other night when Ashley was saying that I looked tired and had to wake up. I was of course a smart alec and told her, "No Ashley! I am just Asian so my eyes are like that!"
The neighbor: "I can't wait to hear her first words!"
My mom: "Why?"
The neighbor: "What if they are Korean?!"
