Redmond continues its search for a new CEO and contrary to some reports on the matter, the software titan wants to take its sweet time in naming one. We can now expect a new name early next year, instead of later this week.
But while several potential candidates are said to be in the running for the vacant seat, analysts have been weighing on what type of a person is the best for the job.
In a recent statement, Rob Enderle, the principal analyst at The Enderle Group said that the next Microsoft CEO should have the best qualities of Steve Ballmer and Steve Jobs in order to best transition the company towards a devices and services concept.
The company needs the best of both worlds to really prosper:
"Microsoft needs a very unique candidate; one that understands the business fundamentals like Ballmer does but has technical capability like Apple's Steve Jobs did.
The ideal candidate would be a blend of the two men. They are not going to get that but they are going to try to get as close as they can and that's making it difficult."
Perfect blends are a rare sight in life, let along corporate management, but one can hope!
Word is that Satya Nadella is the flavor of the month — the company's in-house cloud chief now in pole position to take over the hot seat. But much can change between now and the final announcement.

Diamond drilling is a quiet, non percussive way of forming precision holes,slots and openings. Holes can be drilled through all types of reinforced concrete and brickwork for plumbing and electrical installations.
We can also use this method to drill holes for anchor bolts which we can install with chemical fixative.
Water and dust control can be used to maintain a clean environment. Machines can be operated in horizontal, vertical and inverted positions for use in confined spaces.
We can drill single holes 6mm -500mm dia and to various depths.
When sawing is not a viable option we can stitch drill using a series of smaller holes to create a larger hole. This method is quieter and cleaner than sawing.
We have various cutting/sawing equipment that allows us to cut anything from an electricians single socket box and cables to lift shaft openings and removal of large slabs of concrete.
All dust controlled for a cleaner environment.
With our operatives having accumilated over 20 years of field experience, we pride ourselves in our expertise and professionalism.
You've tried the rest now try the best!

National Archives employee pleads guilty to stealing recordings
By Tricia Bishop, The Baltimore Sun
October 4, 2011
A National Archives and Records Administration employee pleaded guilty Tuesday to embezzling government property — including a recording of Babe Ruth's voice — and selling it on eBay, the Maryland U.S. attorney's office announced. Leslie Charles Waffen, 66, worked for the NARA since 1969, swiped at least 955 sound recordings worth $30,000 and stashed them in his home or sold them online, according to prosecutors, who charged Waffen last week with stealing from the United States.
State DNR certifies two record fishing catches
The Baltimore Sun
October 12, 2014
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service recently certified a new freshwater-division white perch record and an Atlantic division cobia record. On Sept. 5, James Stiars of Baldwin caught a 1.7-pound white perch in Loch Raven Reservoir, breaking the previous record of 1.62 pounds set by John Williams in 2008, also in Loch Raven. "It was my first cast of the day," Stiars told the DNR. "I was using a Shad Rat crank-bait, and I thought I had a largemouth bass on the line.
Naxos label founder upbeat on classical recordings
By Tim Smith, The Baltimore Sun
July 24, 2010
Back in the early days of compact discs, some classical music shoppers were known to be wary of the unfamiliar record labels that started popping up in the bins, especially the ones with rock-bottom prices. One budget label, in particular, stood out for its straightforward look, abundance of titles and largely unknown performers: Naxos. What became clear very quickly after that company's launch in 1987 was that the music-making could be taken very seriously. And the product just kept growing and improving.
Stevenson football to put unblemished record on line Saturday at reigning MAC champion Lycoming
By Edward Lee and The Baltimore Sun
October 3, 2014
Stevenson has already beaten one of two teams that shared last year's Middle Atlantic Conference title and will go for the sweep with a visit to Lycoming on Saturday. The Mustangs (4-0, 3-0 in the league) defeated Lebanon Valley, 20-14, two weeks ago, but coach Ed Hottle admitted that tangling with the Warriors, who have won 15 league championships, is the litmus test of the season. "They're the big dog in the conference," Hottle said Wednesday. "They're the defending conference champion, and they're the team we aspire to be. They're perennially very good in the conference, they're well-coached, they're big and physical, they don't make mistakes.
Glenn Gould's record transcends time
By Stephen Wigler and Stephen Wigler,Music Critic
October 18, 1992
Glenn Gould did not like to be touched.It was partly that neurasthenic fear of physical contact that led him (at the age of 31) to abandon the stage in 1964. But the great Canadian pianist did not abandon his audience. For Gould's retreat to recording and TV studios allowed him to work tirelessly to perfect a vision of musical performance unaffected by the vagaries of time and space.Gould -- who died 10 years ago at the age of 50 -- was not only a great artist, he was also a commercially viable one. That is why his record company, Sony Classical, has just initiated a huge two-year project to reissue almost everything Gould committed to the microphone and the camera.
Horowitz, Bernstein: Final recordings are (mostly) treasures
By Stephen Wigler and Stephen Wigler,Sun Music Critic
December 22, 1991
When famous musicians die, there's usually a flurry of activity as the record companies try to release their final recordings. This is the case in the continuing efforts of Deutsche Grammophon to showcase the late Leonard Bernstein and Vladimir Horowitz, arguably the most popular conductor-composer and pianist of the second half of the 20th century.When Bernstein died, he left his second Mahler cycle -- there was an earlier one for CBS (now Sony) records -- uncompleted because he was not able to record the Symphony No. 8 (the "Symphony of a Thousand")
Collector goes for a record: theme, variations
By Stephen Wigler and Stephen Wigler,Music Critic
January 23, 1994
The history of collecting is littered with unfathomable excess. From Imelda Marcos' shoes to Margaret Woodbury Strong, who collected bathtubs (but was never known to take a bath), there are people who collect with such obsessive repetition that one can scarcely believe they're human.Among the common manifestations of this phenomenon are those who collect moments that exist at the vanishing point, but are captured on video and sound recordings. There are times when I look about my house and am astonished to see the history of Western music collected four times over.
In trouble over bootlegging, again Owners of local stores are accused of selling illegal recordings
By Jay Apperson and Jay Apperson,SUN STAFF
May 10, 1996
To the owners of Record & Tape Traders, it was only rock 'n' roll.But they liked it, and they sold it. Hot bands like R.E.M. and Nirvana, captured live on the bootleg compact discs that are prized by hard-core fans and collectors.Now the chain of Baltimore-area record stores has been swept into a nationwide crackdown on illegal recordings, and the two owners could be dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock."It was a cool thing to us. It was a cool thing to our customers," said one owner, Steven Smolen, explaining why he sold the unauthorized concert recordings -- despite having been placed on probation for similar charges in 1987.
Gould's genius evident on recordings
By TIM SMITH
September 22, 2002
This past Wednesday would have been Glenn Gould's 70th birthday. Next week marks the 20th anniversary of the irreplaceable pianist's death. To mark the two occasions, Sony Classical has released a must-have, double commemoration: "Glenn Gould: A State of Wonder" (Sony Classical S3K 87703) - Gould's two downright historic recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations, from 1955 and 1981. It's fitting that the Goldberg Variations turned out to be the musical bookends of Gould's life. The 1955 recording, full of astonishing finger work and fresh insights into Bach's genius, made him an instant star.
Air controllers' 9/11 tape withheld, destroyed
By Thomas Frank and Thomas Frank,NEWSDAY
May 7, 2004
WASHINGTON - A tape made hours after the Sept. 11 attacks that recorded statements of air-traffic controllers on Long Island was destroyed and never given to authorities, a federal investigation found yesterday. The hourlong tape of six controllers who tracked the planes flying toward the World Trade Center was shredded a few months later by a manager at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center in Ronkonkoma. The manager, identified by officials as Kevin Delaney, told investigators that making the tape contradicted Federal Aviation Administration policy and that the recordings were "of minimal value" because controllers also gave written statements about the hijackings.
What about Courtney Watson's record? [Letter]
September 30, 2014
Howard County Council member Courtney Watson attempts to justify her inaccurate and formulaic attacks on the record of her Republican opponent in the county executive race, Sen. Alan Kittleman, record with "I believe that calling out an opponent's record is fair in an election. " Isn't it time someone closely examines her record for a calling-out? How many more not-so-temporary trailer classrooms have been installed during her tenure on the Howard County school board and the council?
The Holder legacy [Editorial]
September 28, 2014
Of all the offices in the federal government, the job of attorney general may be one of the toughest as well the most thankless. Eric H. Holder, who announced last week that he is stepping down as the nation's top law enforcement official six years after becoming the first African-American ever to hold that position, was no stranger to the controversy that comes with the job nor to the endless stream of criticism directed at its occupants. His tenure was not perfect - the failure to crack down sufficiently on the financial speculators who brought our economy to ruin being perhaps the greatest shortcoming.
Orioles lose series-opener to Blue Jays, and shot at AL's best record
By Eduardo A. Encina and The Baltimore Sun
September 26, 2014
TORONTO - Earning home-field advantage throughout the postseason was the Orioles' final goal of the regular season, but since winning the American League East 10 days ago, their greater focus was positioning themselves for a deep postseason run. They chased the Los Angeles Angels down to the final three days of the regular season for the American League's best record, but following the Orioles' 4-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night...
Cops and cameras [Editorial]
September 24, 2014
Legislation introduced Monday in the City Council would require every Baltimore police officer to wear a body camera within a year. Though the proposal leaves many questions unanswered regarding how evidence from the devices could be used, who would have access to it and, not insignificantly, how the new equipment would be paid for, we think on balance that the benefits of the technology far outweigh the costs both in terms of improving police-community relations...
2 councilmen to file bill requiring city police to wear body cameras
Luke Broadwater and The Baltimore Sun
September 22, 2014
Two City Councilmen plan to submit legislation today requiring every police officer in Baltimore to wear a body camera that records audio and video as the officers go about their jobs. Warren Branch, chairman of the council's public safety committee, and Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young's proposal would permit the Baltimore Police Department to phase-in use of the body cameras during the first year after the bill, if approved, becomes law. The bill comes amid a series of high-profile allegations of police misconduct in Baltimore and around the country.
Ravens bounce back from Week 1 loss with dominating 26-6 win over Steelers
Jeff Zrebiec and The Baltimore Sun
September 12, 2014
John Harbaugh walked toward the back of the bench to exhort the fans, wagged four fingers in the air to signal the start of the final quarter and welcomed big defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to the sideline with a flying chest bump that left the Ravens' head coach falling backward. Despite one of the most trying weeks in franchise history, Harbaugh told general manager Ozzie Newsome on Wednesday that he sensed his team was ready to play well and was he ever prophetic. The Ravens broke the trend of close games against their biggest rival by dominating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-6, in front of an announced 71,181 at M&T Bank Stadium and a prime-time television audience.
Recordings describe professor's plan to kill his wife and stepson
By Julie Bykowicz and Julie Bykowicz,SUN STAFF
May 25, 2004
SHREWSBURY TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A few days before Rita Hofler and her 17-year-old son, Kevin Gehring, were found shot to death here, the woman's estranged husband began to make a series of digital voice recordings. Retired Loyola College professor Donald B. Hofler talks about his finances and his funeral arrangements. He says that, at age 70, he no longer wants to live. And, in a recording played yesterday in a Pennsylvania courtroom, he discusses his plan to kill his wife of 15 years. "Rita's supposed to come over tomorrow," Hofler, who is charged in the slayings, says in a low, groggy voice on the recording.
Recordings, court documents show Dawson family's battles
By Del Quentin Wilber and Del Quentin Wilber,SUN STAFF
February 17, 2003
At least 18 months before an arson fire that killed seven members of the Dawson family in East Baltimore, the father was chasing drug dealers off his front stoop to protect his children, court records show. And in the month before the family's house was set ablaze Oct. 16, Carnell Dawson and his wife, Angela, made repeated calls to police for help. Their voices - often frustrated or desperate - can be heard on tape recordings provided by police to The Sun. In one call, made by Carnell Dawson on Oct. 1, he complains that several dealers had surrounded his house and were menacing his family, apparently in retaliation.
After school-record game, Morgan State's 'Smurf' ready to make a run at Bowie State
By Edward Lee and The Baltimore Sun
September 12, 2014
As one of the shortest players on the Morgan State football team, Herb Walker Jr. has a nickname among his Bears teammates: "Smurf. " The running back, who recently confessed to being 1 inch shorter than his already diminutive listed height of 5 feet 8, has heard worse from defenses. The insults don't bother him as much as the assumptions behind them. Opponents tell Walker he's "soft. Or I don't run hard," he said. "But they'll feel me when I get the ball. " Neither label fit after the 19-year-old Walker set a school record a week ago. In Morgan State's 26-23 loss Saturday to Holy Cross, 26-23, the sophomore rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries.
Too much carbon, too little time [Editorial]
September 11, 2014
If increasingly extreme weather events around the world weren't alarming enough, the latest monitoring by the World Meteorological Organization shows last year was the worst ever for rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Their report released Tuesday demonstrates why efforts to curb climate change deserve to be a top priority for U.S. foreign policy. The WMO tracks not just the greenhouse gases emitted by power plants, motor vehicles, factories and other major contributors but what the net effect is on the atmosphere since a certain amount of carbon dioxide is naturally absorbed by plants and oceans.

Just released: 'Facts About: Coastal Protection'
8 Nov 2017
What's inside
Coastal protection spans interventions, structures and measures protecting coastal areas and their inhabitants against flooding, a need amplified by urbanisation and development to handle global population growth combined with the effects of climate change.
The protection of a coast may be ensured through natural or man-made systems, or a combination of both. Available techniques which can be implemented fall into two categories: hard strategies and soft strategies.

Mariposa (formerly Logtown) is a census-designated place (CDP) in and the county seat of Mariposa County, California, United States. The population was 1,373 at the 2000 census. Its name is Spanish for "butterfly", after the flocks of Monarchs seen overwintering there by early explorers.
Mariposa is located at 37°29′06″N 119°57′59″W / 37.485°N 119.96639°W / 37.485; -119.96639, at 1,949 feet (594 m) in elevation. It lies in the rugged foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Mariposa Creek flows through the town.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.2 square miles (8.3 km²), all of it land.
Mariposa County includes much of Yosemite National Park, and a good deal of the local economy is related to the Park and to tourism. The county courthouse, constructed in 1854, is the oldest in continuous use in California. Tours are available.
The county lies at the southern end of the Mother Lode, and Europeans were attracted to Mariposa by gold. During the 19th century California Gold Rush, its streams were panned and deep mines worked the underground veins. At one time John C. Frémont lived here and owned claims to much of the mineral wealth of Mariposa. He later was the first US Senator from the state, and the first Republican candidate for President.
The town was founded as a mining camp. The original town site was located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) further downstream. After a flood during the winter of 1849/50, the town was moved to higher ground at a site the miners called Logtown. In time the old name was restored, and the Mariposa post office opened in 1851.

HOUSTON --A convenience store clerk is recovering after being hit over the head during a robbery early this morning.
Police say the suspects robbed the Pak's on West Alabama and Flora. After attacking the clerk, they stole the cash register and took off. People who live near the store say it's upsetting that the store has been robbed again.
"I think it's awful because it hurts the people like across the street or just around here," said nearby resident Renata Jansons. "This is supposed to be a quiet, nice neighborhood."
Authorities are reviewing security video from the store, trying to identify the suspects.

Dr John Roberts, a respected and hard-working city GP has died, aged 80.
John Roberts was born in Glasgow and brought up in the mining village of Whitburn, West Lothian, where both his father and grandfather had been landlord of a thriving pub, the Old Market Inn.
Customers included both thirsty miners calling in after their shifts and recruits fresh from the parade grounds of the local police college. It has been speculated that perhaps John learned his social skills clearing tables in that confrontational environment.
An only child, he attended Bathgate Academy, qualifying for university entrance when still in the fifth year, and went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University.
He spent his national service as a junior doctor attached to the signals corps of the Gurkhas and although he never saw action at war, his two years in the Far East saw him undertaking a number of demanding roles including the delivery of more than 100 babies, many without there being electricity in the home.
His doctoring was highly practical and straightforward. And he believed strongly in his patients taking responsibility for their own health.
On returning to Edinburgh he was to meet and marry, in 1976, Annie Slora, a dental student. Her effusive personality complemented his steadier approach and they were to work as a successful and popular team, with their home becoming an epicentre for a good deal of entertaining of musicians, with the Shetland fiddler Aly Bain dropping by for his dinner every Wednesday.
John was a legendary figure in the world of Edinburgh medicine, serving the people of Piershill for almost 40 years while also building up a reputation as a trustworthy friend to many in the world of the arts and sciences. His busy home in Morningside saw many prominent figures from different fields gather for informal suppers, sometimes as often as four times a week.
After 38 years in Piershill, he retired at the age of 64 as the senior partner in the practice.
Away from work, he had a great love for opera and reading, but it was his family of Annie and their two children, David and Irene, that was always most important.
Only two weeks from his death, and deeply aware of his very limited life expectancy, he amazed and worried his friends by announcing that he was to host one last party, for his 80th birthday.
He held court at the centre of the occasion welcoming his guests with his customary relaxed kindness and interest in every aspect of their lives.
He died on December 21. He is survived by his wife Annie, his two children and two grandchildren. Henry and Rebecca.

moving mountains
Before I get into the cheerleading saga, I feel that I must first tell you about how much trouble I got into my freshman year. There were two big events for which I became permanently grounded. Then there was a dramatic meltdown and finally…. the divorce.
The first time that I really got into big trouble was the time I totaled my step dad's truck. I was fourteen and I didn't have a driver's license. We had moved into the new house. It was very big and sat facing an acre of land and to the back was the air strip where all of the local residents could take off and land their little airplanes. One family even had a helicopter (ouch). The house had five bedrooms and five bathrooms. I had my own bathroom, which was pretty amazing and I had the biggest room. It was very big but not big enough to contain me and my anger. That would be a very big room indeed.
When the house was first finished, there was this huge mound of garbage next to it. Not really garbage but refuse from the build, all sorts of scraps and materials. Mixed in with all of it was a bunch of wood and it was sitting out there rotting in the rain. My step dad (I'm going to call him this now because it take's too long to type "the man my mom married") decided that it would be a good idea to sift throught the pile and separate the wood from the rest of the garbage so that we could use it for fuel in our wood burning stove. This was a good idea, if you weren't the one doing the separating of the wood and the hauling of the wood and the stacking of the wood in the garage, which he wasn't. This was a chore for the kids to do, like little slaves, his minions. God I hate him. He was one of these old school guys that grew up walking in ten feet of snow, ten miles to school, uphill both ways. No one knew the discipline and hardship he had to endure growing up and it did him a world of good and we were all going to benefit from some hard labor and discipline so that we could grow up and be mother-fucking assholes just like him.
We worked on the wood project for weeks, separating and stacking, all four of us (me, my sister, our step-sister and our step brother). One weekend day, my mom and step dad took the little plane out for a romantic day trip to have lunch in some cute little city and look at antiques or something similarly lovely and boring. The kids were to all stay home.
By this time my step dad had given up completely any notion of trying to "win me over" and had begun just trying to get avoid me whenever he could. As I mentioned, he was strict, especially with his own kids. His own kids were terrified of him but I was not. I challenged him at every turn and I swore like a sailor, which was like finger nails on the chalkboard to him. He would ask me to clear my plate from the table and I would respond, "Fuck you; you're not my fucking dad." With a look that said, "Watch your back because I will kill you in your sleep." He eventually stopped asking me to do things like clear my plate. He thought I was a spoiled brat. He never considered what it was that I was going through, what my mom and sister and I were going through. He just wanted his house and his hangar and his kids living with him (they had been living with their mom because he couldn't afford a house). He wanted this fantasy life that he had always dreamed of. My mom was his ticket and I was the only thing standing in his way. He hated me. If my mom wasn't there watching, he would have beat the crap out of me. I'm sure of it. He came close to doing it too, a few months later.
So they left on their trip and we were all to stay home sorting and stacking the fucking wood like little soldiers. Just before they left though, I came up with an idea to help our chore go more quickly. I suggested to my step dad that he allow us to use his little pick up truck to aid us in our task. We would sit the pick up truck next to the pile, stack the bed full of wood, then back it up to the garage and unload it. This would finish the job in half the time. He was leery but he had to admit it was a good idea. It had been taking us much longer than he thought it would to get this job done, walking back and forth from the pile to the garage, a few boards at a time. He agreed to let us use the truck. I would be the one to drive, being that I was the oldest. I had had a few driving lessons already in my mom's mini van.
We had sold my dad's bronco by then. My sister and I protested but we weren't listened to. When we were at the car lot, doing the trade in, my sister sweetly explained to my step dad, "We don't want to sell the car because it reminds us of our dad." And he replied very smugly, "that's a pretty expensive memory to hold on to." He put the nail in his own coffin with that statement. No one puts baby in a corner, if you know what I mean.
I had had some driving lessons but my mom's mini van was an automatic and this little pick up was a stick. Before they flew away, my step dad gave me a quick lesson on how to put the car into reverse and then back into first and then back into reverse again without killing it. It was tricky but I got it well enough and they left us to it.
Before their plane was even a speck in the air, I announced my plan to the others, "We're going for a ride kids." My sister was down. She knew when I had suggested that he leave us the keys that this was what I was scheming towards. My step sister faltered but eventually gave in. She would do anything to be accepted by us. My step brother refused to go. He was the only one with half the sense god gave him in the group that day and his decision saved his life because I was suggesting that he ride in the back of the truck. He most certainly would have been killed if not permanently maimed if he had followed my suggestion. Thank god he didn't go.
Off we went, little step brother stacking wood in the rear view mirror like a dutiful son and the three ladies crusing fast down the long driveway rocking ACDC in the tape deck. Free at last, free at last, god almighty….

This week we read more about wikis and using them and other collaborative technologies within organizations. While it was no surprise to me to find out that there are many more factors involved when gauging a collaboration's success than merely having a smooth implementation of the technologies, I did experience an 'ah-ha' moment when reading about the other contributors to internal collaboration.
Besides the technology being used, the organization's culture needs to be analyzed for its fit to that technology. This is not new news, but it is an aspect I think is lost on many large organizations and libraries. This was my 'moment', it made me think of how often an organization actually looks at a collaborative software and measures it against its own organizational culture. How will implementers develop and nurture buy-in, what internal technologies are they already using that will need to be stopped to encourage use of the new software, and what is the measurable added value of this collaborative software for the organization?
The article, Corporate Culture, Not Technology, Drives Online Collaboration, helps with beginning to develop a framework for large organizations to use when deciding on what type of internal collaborative technology to use. The culture of the organization is required to be more open and trusting, with very little micro-management and technically savvy, willing employees. The article also discusses knowledge archipelagos, where the hoarding of information or knowledge is counter productive to the collaborative process, obviously. These are just a few of the elements that contribute to having a collaborative organizational culture and would seem to be useful for almost every large organization, not just corporations.
The upshot of reading this week's articles and thinking about using internal collaborative technologies, such as wikis, drove home the fact that no matter how wonderful or integrative collaborative initiatives are, it's the culture that can make or break a successful implementation or use of these innovative and creative methods of working together. It is the people and how they interact, a culture of micro managers and paranoid coworkers will always torpedo collaborative efforts.

text: Heirloom Expo National Heirloom Exposition Displays Endless Varieties of 'Pure Food' in Santa Rosa By Steve Mencher • Sep 11, 2017 KRCB/Steve Mencher The National Heirloom Exposition returned to Santa Rosa last week. You may have seen photos of the enormous piles of squashes that have become the event's calling card. But the fair is about more than simply showing off the shapes and colors of fruits and vegetables. It's about growing food that's tasty and also fits a sustainable worldview, as Steve Mencher reports. 'The Wild Wisdom of Weeds' By Bruce Robinson • Sep 7, 2016 Herbalists have long recognized numerous and varied medicinal uses for many of the plants we think of as weeds. But that's not all they are good for, argues Katrina Blair, Durango, Colorado 's defender of wild weeds. Blair's fascination with wild plants of all sorts began while she was still quite young, an epiphany she recalls quite clearly. katrina Blair and her colleague,Tyler VanGemert, will present a workshop on "The Chi of Edible Weeds" at the Yoga Society of San Francisco on Friday afternoon at 3 pm. Details and reservations at (970) 247-1233.


text: Is it wrong for me to say that I thought the movie was better? Generally I don't find this to be the case, but perhaps this was one place where the exception proved the rule. Still it's a great tale that I do remember enjoying...maybe if I had read it before seeing the movie I wouldn't have felt this way. It just seemed to me that the movie was actually a bit more fleshed out in a few areas of plot and character than the story was.

The original fittings dating from 1893 had become so worn that ringing was difficult and would not have been sustainable for very much longer.
The church now has a fully restored ring of 8 bells hung on modern metal headstocks with new pulleys, wheels, clappers and sliders. The bells were tuned while at the foundry to improve the sound quality.
The Revd. Keith Hale and the PCC approved the fundraising appeal in 2013. The work was completed in February 2016.
We are very pleased and grateful for financial grant support from Viridor Credits Environmental Company, The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, The Yorkshire Association Bell Repair Fund, the YACR Sheffield Branch 100 Club, Sharpe Trust, Irwin Mitchell LLP Charity Fund, Wortley Parish Council, The Post Office Trust Charity and the Blakemoor Foundation.
We would also like to thank the businesses and groups in the area who helped us and made donations; The Wortley Arms, Wortley Post Office, Wortley Mens Club, Wortley Farm Shop, Wortley Hall, Wortley Rotary Club, Wortley Golf Club, St Mary's Ecclesfield bell ringers and Hallam Probus Club.
The final donation was fittingly made by Lady Rowena, daughter of the late Earl of Wharncliffe and great-great niece of Mary Caroline who made a gift of the bells to the village in 1893. Thank you.
Thank you also to all the private individuals who donated money to the appeal, volunteered to do the work, came to support our concerts and events, encouraged us and spurred us on, baked cakes, made and purchased craft products, held open garden events, carved stone bird baths, made endless cups of tea, grew and sold plants, delivered leaflets and so many other things.
The appeal was managed by Revd. Keith Hale, the St Leonard's PCC members and the bell ringers who all did a great job, thanks.
We are pleased and relieved as St Leonard's bells could have fallen silent forever if it hadn't been for the support and generosity of the people of Wortley and the villages nearby. It is clear bells mean a lot to this village.

Just say no, kids. Weed makes you stupid, kids. Marijuana is dangerous and addictive, kids....How creative! That's what we've been telling kids since the 80's. It's been a great way to teach kids adults are stupid, but it's never prevented a kid from using marijuana.

According to recent studies, certain age groups of children can spend up to 32 hours a week in front of a television. If you're not setting rules or limits on your child's viewing habits, that's 32 hours of potentially inappropriate content your child could be exposed to. It's also time your child is spending NOT participating in other activities, such as educational games or outdoor fun. Here are some useful tips for how to effectively monitor your child's television time.
Step 1
Set limits for your child. Let him know how much time he can watch TV each day, perhaps one hour. Let him know when he is young so he grows accustomed to this rule. As he grows older, he will be used to the idea and find other ways to occupy himself.
Step 2
Watch television with your children. Make sure you know what kind of television shows your child is watching. You may be extremely busy with work and other obligations, but you must make some time each day to sit and watch TV with your child.
Step 3
Talk to your child about TV. Ask him what his friends are watching. Explain why certain shows are not appropriate. Try to have an honest discussion.
Step 4
Keep the television in the family room or living room. Do not allow your child to have a TV in his room. A TV in his room makes it more difficult to monitor usage.
Step 5
Set the parental controls on your TV set. Most televisions made after 2000 have a V-chip in them to block out certain programs or channels. All programs come with a rating. Refer to your TV owner's manual for instructions on blocking particular shows.
Step 6
Buy a TV timer. The child must enter a code each time he turns on the TV. This device lets the child use the TV for the amount of time you allow. This is a big help for parents who work and can't be there to monitor their children all the time.

Meet Miss Cana!! She is the beautiful baby girl of my friend Courtney, whose maternity pictures I showed you last week. She was born in the summer, so we were able to get some shots outside. She didn't like it too much, so we hurried and then went inside too. She didn't want to sleep for me, but we did our best. I think the crying shots are cute anyway..look at those tiny lips.

How to reignite the burning flame: London escorts
Has your relationship gone sour and you wonder if he'll ever like you again? Did you ruin big time and you want more than anything to make him like you again? Have you been on a roller rollercoaster of a relationship and you want to discover a way to make him like you once again? As soon as we get comfortable in a romantic relationship, it's simple to let our uglier side emerge and unexpectedly our man gradually, however definitely falls out of love. So exactly what can you do to ensure he'll love you once again?
It may appear like a shallow strategy, but looking as hot and attractive as you can is typically an efficient method of getting your foot in the door. London escorts want you to do push it too far, nevertheless. You do not want to be that obvious. But if you've required neglectful with your appearances lately, take a few minutes to remind him of the beautiful woman he fell for. Getting that visual result can be powerful.
You don't want to ask for his love, nor do you want to press and press him to enjoy you again. Being the fickle emotion love can be, you wish to slowly remind him why he fell for you to begin with. Be enjoyable and enjoyable whenever you're around him. Bring back the happiness and excitement of those first few dates.
It has the tendency to be hard for practically everyone to confess they're incorrect. It's harder still to come out and sincerely apologize for what we have actually done. If ever there was a time you wished to swallow your pride and take a portion of the duty you have in this relationship, it's now. Make the apology genuine, authentic and without provisions. You wish to avoid half-hearted apologies that manage to bring the fault back to him. London escorts believe that atating, "I'm truly sorry I harm you, but I didn't like the way you treated me," is not a full and genuine apology. It's a soft handed method of bringing the blame back to him. If you did something incorrect, own it. Sometimes the best thing to do is to take a little bit of time apart. If he has fallen out of love with you, he may require a little time to believe whatever over. Naturally, you do not wish to leave him to himself for too long. When a relationship is a consistent roller coaster ride, there comes a time when you have to truly assess your love for one another. Have you merely become too familiar with living with him and you cannot picture anything else? Or do you still really feel extreme love for the male? If your love for him is genuine and strong, there's a likelihood that your feelings will shine through your every attempt and he'll see that you 2 truly have something unique together.…

Kaboom's Adventures in PC Modding, part 1
Recently, however, there've been a few changes made to it. The ancient hard drive was swapped out for a newer (well, relatively, anyway) hard drive that definitely was a lot bigger. The motherboard was replaced with a (again, still relatively) newer model, one that can support the newest version of Windows, albeit not very well. Anyway, over the past few months it's gone from being almost two decade out of date to maybe four or five years out of date.
And now it's mine. Apparently my dad was sick of it, and decided to give it to me to upgrade and do what I want with it. So, I'm trying my hand at case modding, as well as just generally upgrading it (because even with the pseudo-upgrades, it is still pretty useless). Now, I don't even have a dremel, much less know how to use one, and I can't be assed to go get one (or learn how to use it), so for this first project I'm just painting the case and messing with the LEDs. Yeah, it's not very exciting compared to what some people do- I'm not turning my PC into a fish tank, even though that would be badass- but it's a start. Modding is a very expensive hobby, and especially considering that I'm going to have to completely replace just about everything, I can't afford to get too fancy with the case, especially not with the holidays coming up. And this is still just my first time- I don't want to screw up too badly and end up tossing several paychecks down the drain.
Well, anyway, this project isn't very far along yet, the only thing I've done is paint the plastic bits of the case, and trust me, it doesn't look like much. About the only thing I can say for it this time is that it's not this dingy sort of beige anymore. It's going to look much nicer when I'm done, anyway, even if I haven't been able to replace the hardware yet. It might still run like crap, at least for a while, but at least it won't look like it's twenty years out of date.

11 July 2018
Crowds of Mexicans gather daily outside the party headquarters of leftist president-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. They sought a meeting with the country's next leader for his personal intervention on a range of problems from justice to jobs. Lopez Obrador rallied millions of Mexicans to back his calls for change in Mexico in this month's election.
He vowed to stamp out corruption and reign in crime in a new era of a more just country. According to reports, dozens of citizens arrive daily at Lopez Obrador's officers in search of an audience. From vowing to raise pensions and financially support students, Lopez Obrador will carry high expectations when his term starts in December.

Cloakroom, Young & Dead, Shut The Fuck UP!!!, ATYAN, Dogma Playing Michigan City, IN
Local Hardcore/ Punk/ Cloakroom show at Lakeshore Bar in Michigan City, IN featuring: Shut The Fuck Up Cloakroom (http://runforcoverrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infinity) Young & Dead (Chicago) All These Years And Nothing Dögma 21 and over, $7 cover, $1 PBR drafts, doors at 8, show at 8:30 Cloakroom is one of THE best bands from this area. IMO, they are like Nirvana meets Neurosis meets Earth. Young & Dead is some fresh new Chicago hardcore with Shane from The Killer on vocals. All These Years And Nothing is Laporte County's most righteous punk band in the vein of Pennywise and Good Riddance but way more Midwest. Dögma is NWI's heaviest most crusty Thrash. Shut The Fuck Up of course just parties harder than you do.

Hey, CJ! Happy post-Halloween at this point. You do anything special this year, or have you just been preparing for your upcoming tour?
Yeah, just been getting ready for tour, I don't really care about Halloween.
Is this tour your first headliner outing? If so, how does it feel? If not, what was, and is the sensation of being the headliner any different than it was back then?
It's our first headline tour in America, but yeah we headline Australia and Europe regularly, it's awesome to be coming back so soon and headline in America. I think it should be a great indicator as to how we are doing in America.
Is there anything in particular you guys do to get ready before an extensive outing like this one?
Not really, we just practice a lot and make sure the business side and logistics side of things are working well and that's it.
You guys are hitting the road with I Declare War, Fit for an Autopsy, The Last Ten Seconds of Life and Kublai Khan. How did this package come about?
We decided on all the bands with the help of our booking company The Agency Group, so we are stoked to be taking our friends bands on the road with.
Have you toured with any of these bands before? If any you haven't, are you looking forward to hitting the road with them?
We have not toured with any of the bands but we have played shows with The last ten Seconds Of Life and our good friends in Fit For An Autopsy, but yeah stoked as fuck to hang and watch all bands of the package.
You guys issued a video for "The Purest Strain of Hate." Is this a good representation of Thy Art is Murder on the road? Also, are there any other shenanigans you guys do to kill time between sets?
Yeah pretty much, the clip covered near everything we do on the road, but yeah there are some things that we don't want on a video clip or people seeing, that's a secret.
I take it you guys enjoy beer thanks to the video ;). How much beer or hard liquor would you say Thy Art is Murder downs per show, and what is your favorite brands to have nearby?
Some nights not so much then other nights it's alot, usually beer and Jack Daniels or Jamison.
Every time I blink a band is putting out a new beer. Have you guys thought about a Thy Art is Murder brand beer or ale or some kind?
Not really, but I'm sure the boys in the band that drink beer would like to do it.
Will Thy Art is Murder be doing any special during these dates, maybe joining another of the bands on stage during a song or two, or perhaps recording it for a potential DVD or live album?
Don't know, I will probably sing with Fit For An Autopsy as I do guest vocals on their new album.
Hate was released a little more than a year ago at this point. Have you guys come up with any new material since then, and if so, will fans get a taste of it on stage with this tour?
We have started writing the new album, but we will not be playing any new songs till it's ready.
How about the set list in general? Mind giving us a run down of the songs you intend to play this time around?
Nope, I like to keep the set list a secret.
One final question about the tour. I noticed a couple repeat dates in some states, but there's five in a row in California. Why is the tour set up like this?
I don't know, we don't book the shows, our booker does these things, maybe because Cali is big and has alot of people and it's awesome!

ST-Ericsson is loss-making, The Wall Street Journal reports, and STMicroelectronics' exit from it is part of a broader strategy to become a leaner and more profitable firm. The company has posted a net loss in its last four quarters, the most recent of which saw a shortfall of 382 million euros ($494 million).
Ericsson, meanwhile, said it "will not speculate on the possible outcomes, timelines, and future ownership structures of ST-Ericsson." The company said it would work with STMicroelectronics to "find a suitable strategic solution" for the joint venture. STMicroelectronics said it would "continue to support ST-Ericsson as their supply-chain partner, advanced process-technology partner and application-processor IP provider."
linkST-Ericsson was established in February 2009 and generated sales of $1.7 billion in 2011.

For Brooklyn's 1-year birthday pictures we went to Caralee Case. She is the photographer that has done both of my kids' newborn pictures and she did Carson's 1-year birthday pictures. We just love her! She does a fantastic job - even when my kids are grouchy and refuse to smile. She always manages to get good pictures. Here are my favorites!

Bathing is a very important part to keep your Dog healthy and perfect. That's why You should Do it
Bathing your dog must be given more emphasis. This really is due to the truth that if you're careless in bathing, your pet may finish up getting some infections. For instance, should you not close ear with a large cotton swab, water may enter ear canals and could cause some ear infections with signs like constant discharge in the ears and trembling of mind.
The frequency of bathing really is dependent on the variety of your dog. When the dog is of the hairy type such as the cocker spaniel, then your bathing will be transported out once in 6 to 8 days. If these breeds are bathed too often, then your coat and skin loose the protective figures. However, once the dog has defecated onto the skin because of the frequent digestive upsets resulting in diarrhea, to prevent unhealthy smell, your dog might be exposed to frequent bathing some occasions through the proprietors.
Take more care in staying away from some irritant soaps or human soaps. The cleaning soap materials for human creatures aren't appropriate for dogs. Similarly, many human shampoo items are getting some components that aren't appropriate within the proportions that were designed just in case of dogs. Hence, always use the shampoo items which are pointed out mainly to be used in dogs. Take more care in making use of any cool product.
Also have great time and persistence for items needed for bathing in one location with accessibility to a water source. Dogs love the sprinkling water, river, and oceans. Even if you are utilizing bath tub, have all the features in one location after which start bathing the dog. Try to possess a leash, conditioner, towel, and shampoo within the bath place.
The conditioner is of useful to help make the combing activity simpler later. Bathing ought to be a handy activity to both dogs and also the owner. This should not be any burden.

I have removed labels from my form using:
.form-label.form-label-top {
visibility : hidden;
How do I remove the space where the label was?
Thank you in advance.
- JotForm SupportKevin_GAnswered on June 09, 2017 at 01:08 PM
I would suggest you to use the display property instead, this will completely remove the label element from the layout instead of just hiding it and leaving its space.
.form-label.form-label-top {
display: none;
Hope this helps.

That works great! Thanks!
Would I use something different for the file upload fields? They seem unaffected by that css?
- JotForm SupportKevin_GAnswered on June 09, 2017 at 03:37 PM
I have checked your form and I can see the code was applied to the file upload fields too:
However, seems like there is some padding at the bottom of each field, please try injecting the following code in order to get rid of it:
padding-bottom: 0px;
Expected result.
Hope this helps.

To the editor:
As a strong opponent of unnecessary tax hikes, I have proposed slowing spending increases and sharing fairly with the counties the employer share of funding the teachers' pensions as a way to fix Maryland's $1.5 billion budget deficit. In fact, exercising these and other options points out that the budget deficit can be fixed with or without legalizing slots and gaining the estimated $600 million slots will generate.
However, the Annapolis tax-and-spend crowd is locked into the age-old behavior of government, which overspends its way into a budget deficit and then screams for a tax increase to dig its way out.
Raising taxes is the knee-jerk reaction of the Annapolis tax-and-spend crowd to overspending. It never occurs to them to reassess spending as a way to produce a balanced budget.

Business Travel Blog
Top 10 tips on keeping fit whilst travelling
1. Book accommodation with an onsite gym
Our latest report on marginal gains brought to our attention the most important hotel feature travellers believed would improve their trip performance: access to a gym or physical fitness facilities. If keeping fit is something you want to do, having an onsite gym will not only help you stick to your goals, but can also improve your everyday performance and efficiency at work. A real win-win situation.
If you happen to find yourself in a hotel without fitness facilities, there are other options available to keep you on track. Apps such as Gymsurfing or PayAsUGym allow you to search for nearby facilities and book single use passes.
2. Create your own on-the-go HIIT session
If the gym is not for you, why not dedicate just ten minutes of your time in the privacy of your own hotel room? High intensity interval training (HIIT) became a craze last year and has been hailed the perfect exercise solution for busy professionals.
3. Don't forget your gear
Yes, it's an obvious one, but it's also the most overlooked tip. Ensuring you have packed the right gear is essential when trying to keep fit whilst travelling. Not having the right shoes, swimsuit or clothing can easily be the excuse that holds you back from exercising that day.
4. Choose the stairs
It's simple. It's free. And most importantly, it's effective. Not just something to consider when you're travelling, this is a great tip for anyone working in an office.
5. Wake up early
It may seem like a chore and I'm sure you're groaning at the thought of an early start, but studies have shown that working out at the start of your day not only gives more energy but also encourages you to make better choices when it comes to meals throughout the day.
6. Eat the right things at the right times
Speaking of meals, eating the wrong foods or even skipping mealsaltogether can set back the hard work you've been doing in the gym. A lot of health experts recommend writing a list of no-go foods pre-trip and keeping it with you to remind yourself of what you should not be eating.
If you've got a long journey ahead, pack your own snacks. Most countries allow you to take food through security in airports and it'll knock those cravings and reduce temptation when you have time to kill pre-flight.
7. Keep hydrated
Air, train and even road travel can result in dehydration, one of the biggest challenges for business travellers. Most health experts recommend drinking a full glass of water as soon as you wake on a travelling day and try to reduce the amount of caffeinated or alcoholic drinks when you're out. If you do find yourself getting sick of water, switch to sparkling with a twist of lemon.
8. Swim, swim, swim
If you're not a fan of the gym, swimming is an excellent way to boost your fitness. For those travelling to hot countries getting in the pool will not only get your heart pumping, but you'll also benefit from the cool and calming effects of being in the water. Great for the mind and the body.
9. Explore your surroundings
Find yourself in a new area or city? The easiest way to explore your surroundings and maintain your fitness is on foot, go for a walk or a short jog. Some parks are actually home to urban outdoor gyms, set up by local councils and are free and easy to use. There are over 400 in the UK alone.
If you have a bit more time to spare why not hire a bike for the day? Or join a sight-seeing bike tour?
10. Relax
When you're shifting from flight to flight, hotel to hotel, meeting to meeting you need to ensure relaxation features at some point in your schedule. If you are hoping to maintain optimum mental and physical health, it's important to include rest in your routine.
Hotel experiences have evolved massively over the last few years, with many focused on offering a quality night's sleep. Take advantage of what they offer, whether it be the right pillow, set the temperature just right or if time allows, a trip to the spa perhaps.
How do you keep fit whilst travelling? Do you stick to a routine? Or struggle to make time?

A Hong Kong-based online retailer of computer games consoles and software says it's closing down after losing a lawsuit brought against it in the U.K. by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEI).
The lawsuit was filed at the London High Court in 2005 by SCEI against Pacific Game Technology (Holding), the company that operates the lik-sang.com Web site. It alleged that Pacific Game Technology had violated SCEI's European trademark by selling the PlayStation Portable to customers in the U.K. and sought an injunction to prevent the site operator from selling any PlayStation consoles, games and accessories to customers in the U.K. and Europe.
Lik-sang.com is popular with gamers because it offers a wide selection of game hardware and software from Japan and other regions of the world. In the case of the PlayStation Portable it gave gamers outside of Japan a chance to buy the Japanese version of the console long before regional models were released in local markets.
Earlier this week the site posted a notice advising customers that it was "out of business due to multiple Sony lawsuits." It attacked SCEI in the notice and raised the likelihood that it would face lawsuits over sales of the PlayStation 3, which is due to launch in Japan on Nov. 11, and from other console makers about similar sales of their hardware or software to gamers worldwide.
"Blame it on Sony. That's the latest dark spot in their shameful track record as gaming industry leader. The Empire finally 'won', few dominating retailers from the UK probably will rejoice the news, but everybody else in the gaming world lost something today," the statement ended.
It also, perhaps somewhat embarrassingly for Sony, alleged that four senior Sony Computer Entertainment Europe managers had used Lik-sang.com to purchase PSPs shortly after the Japanese launch.
Sony in Tokyo declined to answer questions on the issue citing a policy of not commenting on pending or completed legal action.
In a subsequent e-mail sent to IDG News Service on Friday, Pascal Clarysse, marketing director for the Web site, said SCEI is demanding the payment of £100,000 (US$188,000) in legal fees by Nov. 1.
"Sony should be proud of having such a die-hard import gamers community rushing to buy their products and supporting them with a passion. Instead, they march all over us," said Clarysse in the statement.
The conclusion of the court case comes with some irony. As SCEI succeeded in shutting down an unauthorized sales channel to European consumers, it was also revising shipment forecasts for PSP from 12 million units to 9 million units because of lackluster demand for the games machine.
To Lik-sang.com's long-time customers the situation might seem familiar.
Pacific Game Technology was created in late 2002 after the previous operator of the lik-sang.com Web site, Lik Sang International, was hit with a Hong Kong High Court injunction over sales of chips that allow games machines to circumvent the region coding system used on most games. The suit was filed by Microsoft, SCEI and Nintendo.
Lik Sang International abruptly shut down after the injunction was issued but announced a month later that the Web site would continue under Pacific Game Technology.

How super cute is this…..
Did not know what planking was nor have I engaged in such. Though, when I saw the picture of the baby above, planking, I thought, I just can't let a baby girl beat me to it. It aint right….so I may be planking….(don't hold your breath for it anytime soon, hahaha!)
Anyway, according to Wikipedia:
Planking or the lying down game is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking is described as the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank.
The lying down game is claimed to have been invented by Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon in 1997, first becoming popular in North East England. However, comedian Tom Green claims to have invented "planking" as early as 1994
Of course these guys never fail me:
Please be careful when #PLANKING!

The new rental index is likely to be updated in three months time, in accordance with the current market conditions, revealed a top official in Dubai's RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority).
The index, which is more of a guide to landlords and tenants in Dubai, was scheduled to be re-published every six months.
The Chief Executive of RERA, Marwan bin Ghalita, who spoke to the media on Thursday, mentioned that the new index is likely to be published in two to three months time. This initiative comes, when rents in the city have begun to fall dramatically from its peak during mid-2008. The Dubai rental index which has been released now is based on the figures during that period.
Ghalita said that despite the drop in rents, Dubai still offers good rental yields of up to 10% of the value of property, in comparison to 2-3 percent in other countries.

the interesting thing to note here is that will it come down enough to boost demand once again? or will it not affect the real estate rental market at all? my guess is the later. you need people and jobs to stabilize real estate. someone has to pay the rents. the fear is rents will go so far below the norm that landlords will have a shortage in spread (mortgages vs rents colleected)

Serena Williams has shared an honest account of her traumatic experience of childbirth, and the six days of "uncertainty" that followed.
The 36-year-old professional tennis player, who gave birth to her daughter Olympia in September 2017, said she considers herself "fortunate" because despite having an emergency C-section, the surgery went smoothly.
Williams wrote about her experiences in an article for CNN, while also urging for people to support UNICEF's Every Child Alive campaign because "every mother, everywhere, regardless of race or background deserves to have a healthy pregnancy and birth".
"I almost died after giving birth to my daughter, Olympia," Williams wrote. "While I had a pretty easy pregnancy, my daughter was born by emergency C-section after her heart rate dropped dramatically during contractions.
"Before I knew it, Olympia was in my arms. It was the most amazing feeling I've ever experienced in my life. But what followed just 24 hours after giving birth were six days of uncertainty."
Williams explained she had a pulmonary embolism, which is when the arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot. She said this sparked a "slew" of health complications. Her C-section wound popped open due to intense coughing and she had to return to surgery, where it was found she had a swelling of clotted blood in her abdomen.
When she was finally able to go home, Williams spent her first six weeks as a new mum in bed.
"I am so grateful I had access to such an incredible medical team of doctors and nurses at a hospital with state-of-the-art equipment," she wrote. "They knew exactly how to handle this complicated turn of events. If it weren't for their professional care, I wouldn't be here today."
Williams explained that her experience caused her to realise that many women giving birth in the poorest countries often don't have access to the necessary help, health facilities, doctors or drugs when they have birth complications.
She urged people to get involved and learn about UNICEF's Every Child Alive campaign, demanding governments, businesses and health care providers do more to save these precious lives. "Together, we can make this change. Together, we can be the change," she added.
Williams first spoke out about her traumatic birth and her struggle to adjust to motherhood in January 2018 in an interview with Vogue. "Sometimes I get really down and feel like, man, I can't do this," she said. "It's that same negative attitude I have on the court sometimes. I guess that's just who I am. No one talks about the low moments - the pressure you feel, the incredible letdown every time you hear the baby cry.
"I've broken down I don't know how many times. Or I'll get angry about the crying, then sad about being angry, and then guilty, like, Why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby? The emotions are insane."

Gray was a poet, editor, translator, and 1890s dandy figure, regarded by many as the model for Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. He is best remembered for his first verse collection, Silverpoints (1893), which established him as an accomplished translator and poet in the French symboliste tradition. By 1895, "with a promising career behind him", according to the poet Theodore Wratislaw (Wratislaw 1893: 328), he dissociated himself from Wilde's decadent circle and devoted himself to Catholicism and writing spiritual verse, moving permanently to Edinburgh in 1901, where he became rector of the parish of St Patrick's.
John Henry Gray was born in Bethnal Green, London, on 10 March 1866, the eldest of nine children. …

The Jet Data Manager allows one to create a hierarchy table. Hierarchy tables are often used to describe parent-child relationships within a single table. These tables can then be modeled as dimensions in an OLAP database. In this article we will be building a hierarchy table that describes the relationship between salespersons and custom segments which we will define.
1. Right click the Tables node and click Add Hierarchy Table .
2. Select the appropriate values for each field. In this example we choose the Salesperson Purchaser table. Once the parameters are entered click Load Values .
3. In the right-hand pane right click and Add root heading .
4. Add additional sub-headings as desired by right click on an existing heading → Add sub heading .
In this example we have a root heading of world and each segment. North, East, South, and West.
5. By either dragging and dropping or right clicking the headings add the desired members to appropriate heading.In this example we have added salespersons to each segment.
6. Let's add two more headings that will act as totaling segments. In this example we added North & South and East & West. We will want the totals of specific segments to be added together. To do this we need to define a rollup formula. In this example we take the North member plus the south member.
8. Add the hierarchy table as a new database dimension. One easy way to do this would be to add the dimension table in its own window
and then drag the table onto the dimensions node. The Jet Data Manager will automatically recognize the table as a parent-child dimension.
9. Add the database dimension to the desired cube and set the dimension relations.
In this example we have related our dimension to both fact tables, posted sales transactions and sales order transactions.
10. Deploy and execute any modified objects within the OLAP database.
The end result is a newly created dimension that displays each custom segment by salesperson and the totals for each segment combination as defined in the hierarchy table.

We had a wonderful time at the stitching retreat last weekend. Acutally got some stitching done and made noticable progress. Very proud of myself. I worked on several different projects. Finished up a couple of little things that have been hanging around forever. Started a couple of new things and worked on other WIPs.
Theresa from my LNS helped me pick a color for the border of the Red Thread round robin we are doing. Can't really tell from the picture, but it's very verigated. It is Waterlillies Espresso. It is a dream to stitch with. Very pretty and it stitches very fast.
I started a new reindeer. Dancer this time. Didn't get too much done. This day we all decided to do speed stitching. We rotated projects every 30 mins then every hour. 30 min was barely enough time to get the project out and find your floss.
Jen and I decided to start Mirabilia Tigerlily together and do her as a SAL. Check out our progress each week. I don't think this will take very long to finish. I'm not sure if this is a SAL or a stitch-off.
That about wraps it up for the retreat. We got all kinds of freebies- patterns,floss,fabric... I also got a beautiful needlebook for the pins and needles exchange Friday night. And a whole bag of goodies for the Sat gift exchange. It was a patriotic theme like the gift I gave. It had a Bless this House pattern from Country Cottage Needleworks, the floss and fabric to complete it, and other items. All in all we had a fabulous time stitching and talking.
