Looking so as to add to your home's worth, however want to maintain things inexperienced? The costs for adding a second mid-sized lavatory are $8,000 to $15,000. Laura Tusken, the proprietor of Inspiration for Mothers , wasn't glad with the builder-grade cupboards that came with her kitchen, but when she started a rework, she realized that sprucing up the original models was a lot more economical than replacing them.
But as with many people, when it came to organizing tools for DIY initiatives, she wanted a bit help. Painting trim and molding is a good way to add your own type and freshen up the partitions. By portray the plywood with the paint she had left over from the partitions, she was capable of minimize costs and create a cohesive look.
Decide a daring paint coloration , then use it to paint just one wall in a room. Instead of buying new expensive doorways, you can convert your previous ones by adding a sheet of mirror (about $40 per door), and a few trim around it. Replacing all the pipes in a 1,500 sq. ft. home with 2 bathrooms can costs anywhere from $4k to $10k, as a result of it requires the plumber to chop holes into the partitions and floors.
This small, easy, and low-finances mission can transform your plain, low-cost-trying doors into massive, beautiful, costly trying openings. Since storage options add worth to an area, it's doubtless that your landlord will see the worth in the easy renovation, too.
Deck and out of doors lighting adds security and beauty to alfresco spaces and means that you can take pleasure in time outdoors well past sundown. The toilet is one of the most closely trafficked rooms in the home, so just keeping the area clean and free from water issues can go a long way to ensuring it holds its value.

#aiww: The Arrest of Ai Weiwei review
By Michael Coveney, The Independent
Installation art work is often passed off as theatre these days, so it's refreshing to have a theatrical exposition of installation art in Howard Brenton's new play about Ai Weiwei, whom the Chinese authorities detained for 81 days and made world famous.
Weiwei sits like an inscrutable, affable Buddha at the centre of his own show, which takes place in an art gallery and bursts out of a huge packing crate where office and prison furniture is wrapped in papier mâché and an inset toilet cubicle is scanned by a CCTV camera.
When Weiwei does a wee-wee, he crams into the cubicle with two guards and we see the three of them projected on a screen. Sometimes he just sits in enforced silence, or responds to instruction ("Sleep!") bellowed at him by the guards in unison.
As his interrogators become more interested in his art – "We found out what you are: Dadaist!" one exclaims, delightedly – so Weiwei risks provoking conversation and even quotes Mao's Little Red Book on the subject of dialectical materialism. "You know so much more than we do," wails his persecutor. "It's so sad."
The exhibitionism in the play runs parallel with the programme of desensitisation and humiliation, a process elegantly staged in James Macdonald's production which is populated with policemen, soldiers and politicos (the latter demonstrating the public place of culture in an orderly life by listening to Mozart piped through tree trunks) as well as tourists and functionaries.
Benedict Wong's baffled, bovine Weiwei is a large, almost loveable madcap, leading his guards a merry dance through a heated discussion on how best to prepare Beijing noodles when there's no sign even of another glass of water. Art for art's sake, indeed.

Federal Official in Student Loans Held Loan Stock
By JONATHAN D. GLATER and KAREN W. ARENSON
Published: April 6, 2007
A senior official at the federal Education Department sold more than $100,000 in shares in a student loan company even as he was helping oversee lenders in the federal student loan program.
The official, Matteo Fontana, now general manager in a unit of the Office of Federal Student Aid, was identified yesterday from government documents as a stakeholder in the parent company of Student Loan Xpress who sold shares in 2003.
His involvement with the company emerged a day after a widening investigation into the student loan industry revealed that three senior financial aid officials at Columbia University, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Southern California had also sold shares at the same time.
The stock sales raise questions of conflicts of interest on the part of university officials charged with giving students advice on financial aid and loans and a government official who helped oversee the industry.
The Education Department said late yesterday that Secretary Margaret Spellings had just been briefed on Mr. Fontana and that the department was taking the matter "very seriously.â€
"We are providing the department's inspector general all relevant documents regarding this matter,†Samara Yudof, a spokeswoman, said in a statement. Officials declined to answer questions about the stock transaction.
The government documents, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, show that Mr. Fontana sold 10,500 shares in the company in 2003, when they were valued at around $10 a share. He came to the department in 2002 and at the time of the sale was in a slightly more junior position than now, overseeing lenders in the student loan program.
Mr. Fontana did not return calls, and it was not clear what he had originally paid for his shares. At least two of the three university financial aid directors originally paid about $1 a share.
Student Loan Xpress is currently owned by the financial services company CIT Group. C. Curtis Ritter, a spokesman for CIT, declined to answer questions about Mr. Fontana's dealings with the company.
CIT Group Inc. also has a top university official on its board: John R. Ryan, the chancellor of the State University of New York, which has 64 campuses and more than 400,000 students.
In a telephone interview yesterday, Chancellor Ryan said he believed strongly that there was no conflict between his positions as SUNY's chancellor and as a CIT director, a post that paid him nearly $150,000 in cash, stock and stock options. He earns $340,000 from SUNY.
As the Education Department responded to questions about Mr. Fontana's stock ownership, the University of Texas and the University of Southern California followed Columbia's lead and suspended their financial aid directors pending the outcome of internal investigations into the officials' relationship with Student Loan Xpress. Columbia also removed the loan company from its spot on the university's preferred lending list.
All three universities had given Student Loan Xpress a spot on the lists. Students generally rely on the lists for seeking a loan rather than shopping for the best terms.
Mr. Fontana's participation in the stock sale, which was first reported by the New America Foundation, a Washington policy institute that has focused on student loan issues, caught the attention of lawmakers already looking into the student loan industry.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts and chairman of the Education Committee, faxed a letter to Secretary Spellings last night saying, "These circumstances raise serious concerns about the impartiality of Mr. Fontana's work at the department.†Mr. Kennedy asked her to provide documents about the case.
John Edwards, the Democratic candidate for president, also weighed in on the issue yesterday, arguing that students should borrow directly from the government. "We need to fix the student loan program to take banks — which are just an expensive middleman — out of the process,†he said in a statement.
Andrew M. Cuomo, the New York attorney general who has been investigating the relationship between student lenders and universities, has issued subpoenas to Columbia and to the CIT Group, and requested information from the University of Southern California and the University of Texas.
A senior lawyer in Mr. Cuomo's office, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing, said, "As we gather the information we have subpoenaed from CIT, and we've subpoenaed both documents and testimony, we certainly will get to the bottom of all these relationships.â€
The New York State Ethics Commission twice approved Mr. Ryan's membership on the CIT board, in July 2003, when he was president at SUNY's Maritime College, and again in July 2005, when he became SUNY's acting chancellor.
Mr. Ryan said he had been unaware until yesterday that Maritime College, where he was president for three years, had listed Student Loan Xpress as a preferred lender last year, after he had left the campus. He was Maritime's president from 2002 to 2005. He recently announced his intention to step down as SUNY's chancellor at the end of May.
"I don't make loans,†he said. "I don't make any decisions as chancellor about who is going to be permitted to make student loans at each university or college. They have professionals that do that.â€
Mr. Ryan said that CIT, a New York-based company that specializes in commercial and consumer finance, had not been in the student loan business when he joined its board in 2003. He said it entered that business in 2005 with the acquisition of Education Lending Group, the parent company for Student Loan Xpress. He said he had undoubtedly voted on the acquisition, but had not been consulted individually about it.
At the time of the acquisition, CIT's chairman and chief executive, Jeffrey M. Peek, said student lending was attractive because it was a "higher growth business with predictable performance characteristics.â€
In its 2006 annual report, CIT said that its student loan business "has shown outstanding growth†and that its Student Loan Servicing Center handled more than $6 billion in loans a year, up from $1.4 billion. It said it had expanded its marketing and servicing capabilities in the field last year. CIT had a student lending portfolio of $8.8 billion as of Dec. 31, 2006,
In the 2005 clearance statement for Mr. Ryan , the executive director of the state ethics commission, Karl J. Sleight, said Mr. Ryan's outside work could not be done during state work hours, should not interfere with his official duties. Mr. Sleight also said, "Absent an open and competitively bid contract, you are prohibited from selling goods or services to any State agency.â€
Mr. Ryan said that when he was first recruited to join SUNY, he had been encouraged to sit on corporate and nonprofit boards. He said many companies that do business with universities have college and university presidents on their boards.
CIT also has at least two former college officials on its board: Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey governor who was president of Drew University until June 2005; and Peter J. Tobin, the former dean of the business school at St. John's University, who also served as special assistant to the president there from September 2003 to May 2005, a few months after CIT entered the student lending business.
Dominic Scianna, a spokesman for St. John's, said that the university was on break and that neither Mr. Tobin nor the university's president could be reached for comment.
Mr. Kean said he saw no conflict in his positions in 2005. "I was making no decisions for the university at that point and the university had no connection with the company,†he said.
SUNY was one of eight universities that recently agreed to abide by a code of conduct drawn up by Mr. Cuomo's office. It prohibits universities and their employees from receiving anything of value from any lending institution in exchange for any advantage and requires them to disclose the criteria used to select preferred lenders.
Columbia yesterday sent a lengthy e-mail message of reassurance to students about the stock sales by David Charlow, the director of financial aid for its undergraduate college and engineering school. "We believe that this has had no adverse financial consequences for students and their families,†the university said.

Today was Versailles day, and after accidentally getting on the wrong train (with a little quick backtracking) we arrived at the famous Chateau, stood in the queue for quite some time, and entered the building. We started with the Dauphin's quarters, which were quite plain and mostly held old paintings. Gradually the rooms became more and more ornate. The ceilings in particular are fantastic, with gilt carved architraves framing paintings that make your neck hurt to look up at them so far above you.
We'd kind of ignored a weird yellow thing in the front courtyard, but upstairs, there were more of them. Huge shiny objects that looked like helium balloons made out of aluminium, and plastic statues of things like Michael Jackson, and a bear with its arm around a policeman. I wouldn't have cared much, but they were in the king's and queen's rooms in the chateau, the ones we'd specifically come to see, and instead we had to crane around bits of bizarre plastic. Lucky us. We'd arrived on the first day of the Jeff Koons exhibition. Read all about it here.
In the article they talk about this: Last November Koons' "Hanging Heart" -- on show in Versailles -- became the most expensive work by a living artist when it was snapped up for 23.4 million dollars (15.1 million euros). Yep, saw that one too. Sorry, but it looked like it had escaped from the florists down the road on Valentine's Day. I am obviously a diehard Rodin fan, and Koons doesn't enthrall or excite me one tiny bit. The photo above is of his plastic red lobster, one of the less obstructive pieces (it was easier to dodge around).The gardens are beautiful, and I really wished some of the fountains were working. This is Apollo, with horses, emerging out of the water. Imagine this at sunset with the water spouts going (this pool and the Grand Canal below it are aligned with the setting sun).

Seventeen school boards have now passed explicit anti-homophobia policy in BC and six more are considering it, but Surrey, the province's largest school district, has yet to develop its own.
This, almost 10 years after the Supreme Court of Canada ordered the Surrey school board to reconsider its ban on three gay-friendly books.
"I would say that when the court made the ruling I felt euphoric at that time, thinking that there was going to be a sea change within Surrey," says James Chamberlain, whose request to use Asha's Mums, Belinda's Bouquet and One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dad in district classrooms touched off the lengthy court case.
"Since that time I've been disappointed because that really hasn't happened," says Chamberlain, who taught elementary classes in the district for 15 years.
"I believe there's still a chill in the district around teaching LGBTQ issues," he says. "Not to the same degree it was 10 years ago, but teachers are still reticent because of a lack of official support from the board."
But there are positive signs, he acknowledges. Whereas Tamanawis Secondary was once the only school in the district with a gay-straight alliance (GSA), now more schools have them.
He also points to the 2010 staging of the Dare to Stand Out conference at a Surrey school as a sign of progress. "That was kind of a watershed moment, because there was no opposition from the board to having that conference at a school in Surrey," Chamberlain notes.
But overall, he remains "deeply disappointed" by the slow pace of change in Surrey and what he calls the lack of leadership from the school board and senior management on gay issues.
In his April 3 letter of resignation to Surrey school superintendent Mike McKay, Chamberlain says the school board needs to demonstrate leadership on that portfolio by developing "discrete anti-homophobia policy" similar to those passed by the other 17 school boards. He also notes the absence of professional development for employees in anti-homophobia and other areas.
In his April 27 reply, McKay says he's "sharing" Chamberlain's specific suggestions with board members and district senior staff, assuring that the matters raised were already "works in progress."
"His letter falls flat; it has no content whatsoever," Chamberlain contends.
Xtra's attempts to reach McKay were unsuccessful up to press time.
"I'm mostly learning about how you bring these forward at this point, but it is something that definitely I am interested in, in the future," says recently elected Surrey school trustee Charlene Dobie when asked if she wants to see explicit anti-homophobia policy in the district. "I can't say what the rest of the board thinks at this point."
"It mystifies me as to why the largest school district in the province can't lead on this issue when so many districts are already doing it," Chamberlain says. "It's not like they'll be trailblazing at this point. They would be playing catch-up."
Four years ago, only three of BC's 60 school boards had passed anti-homophobia policy, he notes. In just the last year, four boards have passed such policy and one more is expected in June. "So to move from three to 17 in a four-year span, with nine more in the works, that is a significant shift."
Chamberlain attributes the increased pace of change to student leaders and teachers refusing to stay silent about the homophobia they experience in schools. "The youth are leading the charge; the adults just have to catch up."
Chamberlain welcomes the momentum building in many school districts — especially since the BC Liberals aren't likely to take the lead on this issue. "I think government direction is a lost cause," he says.
After many unmet promises to address homophobia in schools, Premier Christy Clark again promised to introduce in this session "the best legislation, the best policy, the best methods we possibly can for addressing this issue in workplaces, in schools and in homes for all people across British Columbia."
Noting that the current legislative term ends in less than a week, Vancouver West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert says Education Minister George Abbott told him there won't be legislation addressing homophobia in schools.
"I had expected by now we would have seen legislation or policy around it, but it looks like they've decided not to act," Chandra Herbert told Xtra on May 16.
"Here we are about a year and a half since [Clark] first promised to make it her top priority — two legislative sessions, a promise in the throne speech — and nothing," he says.
"The premier is not here, and the government house leader said the bill introduced today would be the last piece of legislation," he continues. "It sounds like her words yet again are hollow and meant to look like she's doing something, yet when given the opportunity, actually does nothing."
Chandra Herbert says he hopes to raise the issue again in the House before the current term ends, pointing to a four-day window next week to ask Clark about her promises.
Xtra's request for comment from the premier's office was routed to the Education Ministry, where a spokesperson said, "an announcement is expected shortly" but did not elaborate.
"It sounds like you're expecting legislation," the spokesperson said, then pointed Xtra to a debate in the House on May 7 where Abbott promised "a five-year multilevel training regime for educators and staff that will be focused on both anti-bullying and threat assessment."
"There will be, I'm advised, a specific anti-homophobia component to that training," Abbott told the House.
"Of course, bullying is unacceptable for any reason, but we know that homophobia can be a very challenging issue in some schools. We need to have the training regime that's built to meet that," Abbott continued.
He then mentioned a designated safe schools coordinator for every school district, the creation of an anonymous online reporting tool for students through a smartphone app, and the development of "an enhanced provincial website" for parents to access if they see signs that their children are being bullied.
"If an issue came up that required a legislative response, we'd certainly be prepared to do that. We don't believe at this point that that should be necessary," Abbott said.
Chamberlain worries that weak legislation from government would hinder more than help efforts at local district levels.
He believes the policies individual boards are passing are much more comprehensive than anything the government would create. "If there were to be provincial policy of some sort, I think that it would be very weak and ineffective and would let school boards off the hook. I actually think they would be counterproductive."

As described here https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/218497418-How-to-expose-a-passphrase-authenticated-SSH-key-stored-in-Jenkins-to-the-Docker-instance we can use the sshagent to authenticate to a ssh target, but one still has to provide the username explicitely. If for some reason no only the key, but also the user changes, the script has to be adjusted aswell.
It would be useful to access the user that is provided in the ssh credential and have it injected as environment variable. e.g.
node { sshagent([credentialsId: 'credential-id', usernameVariable: 'SSH_USER']) { sh 'ssh -vvv -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l $SSH_USER example.org uname -a' } }
the syntax is very similar to withCredentials and there is also a open pull request to the binding plugin, so I'm so sure if it's the right place to ask for:
see https://github.com/jenkinsci/credentials-binding-plugin/pull/18
- relates to

Jesse Glick I've seen you merging the respective pull request of
JENKINS-28399, but i wonder how it would look like if one wants to use a passphrase protected key with that binding.
Is there a example I've missed?
I do not believe you actually do need to pass the -l option in this case, but at any rate if you do, you would need to use withCredentials with the new binding type and pass -i to point to the (temporary) location of the private key. I will leave the details as an exercise to the reader.

Pay First, Litigate Later Even If You Already Won Once
Who Made Up These Rules? Oh, Right It's The Government
Litigants would go through the roof if they were required to first pay the claim of the opposing party before even stepping on to the dance floor in the Courthouse. But, that's the rule when the government sues you: pay the state before you barely find out who's on your dance card.
Even if you've already beat back the government's claims against you beforehand. I kid you not.
Let's get to the facts here: California Logistics is a delivery company. It hires drivers on an ad hoc basis to deliver goods belonging to others. It has classified these drivers as independent contractors. Several times before both administrative and court proceedings, California Logistics beat the state's challenges against this classification, where the state unsuccessfully tried to classify the drivers as employees.
Not satisfied with losing, the Employment Development Department levied a $1.2 million assessment against California Logistics, who once again employed its attorneys and said, "Not again? We've won this issue before."
And it has. Several times. The EDD, however, is not persuaded it should have lost and challenged those rulings again. Don't believe it? Let me explain.
There are two doctrines in the law that we're all familiar with: res judicata and collateral estoppel. Ok, you may not be familiar with the Latin term or the procedural term, but as I said before, they mean "I already won this issue in prior proceedings, I shouldn't have to fight about it again." And that meaning makes perfect sense in most cases.
Except when you're talking about a provision in the California Constitution, the supreme law of the land. At least in California, that is. Here's how it works: the Latin and procedural concepts are common law rules. In the hierarchy of rules, those two concepts are at the bottom of the legal ladder, and the state's Constitution is at the top.
So, when there's a conflict between the two, the Constitution's requirement to pay first, litigate later wins. Here, the Constitutional requirement is in Section 32, which relates to taxes. You know, the funds the government needs to run.
The requirement makes sense in the abstract. If we could all challenge our obligations to pay taxes before paying them, then the state would grind to a halt without money.
The Court looked at it this way, citing to the precedent of a prior challenge brought by several utility companies in support of the EDD's position: "There, three public utility companies filed an action seeking to compel the State Board of Equalization to adjust the assessment of their real property in accordance with a recently enacted constitutional provision (Proposition 13). The utilities argued that to bar their suit under section 32 would deny them an adequate judicial remedy because they would be forced to litigate in more than 50 counties in order to recover their alleged overpayments. The [state's supreme] court declined to recognize an ' "inadequate remedy at law" ' exception to section 32. The court cited the policies underlying section 32 and stressed that section 32 ' "means what it says." ' That has not changed. [citations omitted.]"
Call me silly, but it seems to this writer if the Constitutional issue has already been resolved, California Logistics should not be required to pay the assessment first before litigating the same thing again and again and again. A court higher than me will have to straighten out this one.

Parenting has become easily the crucial and toughest endeavor we do. Regardless of the level of importance and difficulty of this task, nobody teaches us just how exactly to achieve it. There are a number of child lifting.
I certainly will mention that a couple of pros; that I invite the audience to come across and whose job that I really think is invaluable. Toddlers have to remain physically fit and emotionally. If parents are feeling more confident with that they truly have been that they have been absolutely totally free to present their kiddies, profound love that is authentic.
Parenting isn't all about your parents, so no kid has asked to be born.
A youngster's very presence may be the parents' obligation, also it's the parent's duty to increase their kids utilizing parenting abilities. Parents have to find a way to comprehend just why kids act as they perform not require a youngster's (from 1day old to 18 years) conducts. Jean Piaget built advances. A youngster's behaviors aren't in regards to your parent's parent, which is the parent's obligation to support kids learn to deal with emotions, their notions and behaviors, therefore they are able to grow as much as fit members of the society. It carries enormous. Self-awareness contributes to comprehension and comprehension of the others.

All good things must close; whether that be a season, career, or title run.
The Louisville women's basketball team found their end on Sunday, after losing to the Connecticut Huskies in the Albany regional final, 80-73. The Louisville faithful also saw three seniors exit the court in Louisville uniforms one final time.
Arica Carter, Sam Fuehring, and Asia Durr wrapped up their Louisville careers. Fuehring, who was named to the Citizen Naismith Trophy Award Watchlist and Lisa Leslie award watchlist; dropped 15 points, and tallied seven rebounds during the game. Carter, third on the team in assists, had two more, in addition to seven points and two boards.
Durr, one of the greatest women's basketball players to don the Red and Black; put up 21 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, despite not scoring in the first period.
Louisville had a brief lead in the first period. The Cardinals went on an 9-0 run from around the four-minute mark until three minutes were left. It gave them a four-point lead.
It was the only lead of the game for Louisville. The Huskies were tougher than when the Cardinals defeated them 78-69 on January 31st in Louisville. At multiple points, Connecticut led by double-digits. Louisville kept clawing back.
In the third period, Christyn Williams layed a ball up, and gave UConn their fourth 10-point lead. Bionca Dunham kicked off a 6-0 run to end the period.
Then, with less than 90 seconds left, Katie Lou Samuelson gave Geno Auriemma an 11-point lead. Asia Durr led the Cardinals with six points during a 10-1 run, lasting until just 30 seconds were left. It cut Connecticut's lead to two points.
Louisville was backed into a corner, and was forced to send the Huskies to the line. 28 seconds later, the game ended.
The final result may have been a loss, but the Cardinals never stopped fighting. While they were the No. 1 seed, the game felt like a road game: Albany is just two-hours away from UConn, and Louisville is 12. The crowd was overwhelmingly UConn-heavy. The 10-points could have easily become 20.
Instead of that, Louisville played a tough game, scored 18-points on 13 forced turnovers, and put up 12 points from the bench.
2018-19 was a good season for the Cardinals. 2019-20 will be here before we know it.

Stranded residents struggle with requirements to go home
CEBU, Philippines — While many Cebu province residents stranded in Cebu City and other areas due to movement restrictions want to avail of the offer to go home, they are struggling to comply with the requirements, particularly medical certification that they are coronavirus-free.
A resident from Medellin town wanting to return home after being stranded in Cordova town for more than two months has been disappointed to know of the "long list" of requirements.
"Kalisod ba i-comply sa requirements," said Ann, a 39-year-old mother of three.
Among the requirements she has to comply with are certificate showing negative result for COVID-19 or certification from a government doctor; certification from barangay where she is stranded showing that she is not a person under investigation for COVID-19 or a certificate of completion of a 14-day quarantine; and certificate of consent or approval from the barangay to which she will return, duly signed by the mayor of her town, among others.
Just like Ann, Police Colonel Roderick Mariano, Cebu Police Provincial Office director, said other similarly situated residents are also facing the same dilemma.
He said there were some returning residents who failed to show some of the requirements.
"Meron na kasi tayong nga local stranded individuals na umuuwi na sa kani-kanilang lugar…but lacking requirements," he said.
Aside from the said requirements, he said, the stranded residents also need to get a travel certificate from the Philippine National Police (PNP).
"They should have a travel authority from PNP," he said.
The document is available at the police station in the place where he/she is currently staying or the one in the place she/he intends to go.
Meanwhile, those planning for a beach getaway may have to think it over.
Mariano said they will require pass or clearance issued by the local government unit (LGU) from the beachgoers.
"Kailangan lang nila ng pass or acceptance doon sa pupuntahan nilang LGU," he said.
Cebu province was placed under general community quarantine effective May 20. The GCQ rules allow province residents to go to the beach from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. KQD (FREEMAN)

Banks' passing leaves void in heart of baseball
Mr. Cub was larger than life figure on and off the diamond
There I was, speaking on the phone Friday night around 10 p.m. (ET) to Lamond Pope, one of my closest pals in sports media, and the conversation was winding to a close. Pope lives near his native Chicago, which only makes sense. He is the most fervent Cubs fan this side of the guy who just took a graceful home run trot from earth to that ivy-covered place in the sky.
Lamond and I were discussing "DeflateGate." Then, between my thoughts on pounds per square inch in a football and whether it's time for us to move on with the rest of our lives, he cut me off.
Video: Moment of silence held in memory of 'Mr. Cub'
"What a minute! Wait a minute!"
After a slight pause, Lamond said with nearly a whisper: "This just in. Ernie Banks, Mr. Cub, has died."
Mr. Cub Ernie Banks dies at 83
We both went into an impromptu moment of silence. Not only did Ernest Banks pass away, but so did part of baseball, along with a lot of our youth. I'm talking about that of Lamond, myself and everybody else who remembers the man who never learned how to frown.
Everything about Banks was joyful. There was his smile. Then there was his walk, along with his handshake and his voice. They all told the world that this was a human being who embraced every moment of his life, and guess what I've yet to mention? Banks was a splendid baseball player, too.
Soon after starring in the Negro Leagues, Banks became Cal Ripken Jr. before Cal Ripken Jr., by slugging his way to two National League Most Valuable Awards in the 1950s at shortstop. Banks ripped 512 homers, and he was chosen for 14 All-Star Games. He never missed a game -- or so it seemed. I mean, when you went to a Cubs game from the early 1950s through the late '60s, you knew No. 14 would grace the lineup. He did all of that while playing more Major League games than anybody in history without reaching the postseason. That's because, when it came to the big stuff -- a World Series championship, an NL pennant or even a division title -- his Cubs never won anything.
Well, they did win the hearts of their followers.
I know, because I was one of them.
Video: Cubs fan fondly remembers Ernie Banks' legacy
Our love affair with the Cubs began and ended with the magic right-handed hitter who also was known as Mr. Sunshine, especially since they only played day home games during his 19 Major Leagues seasons. I followed the stretch drive of those seasons from South Bend, Ind., where I was born and raised, and it is a couple of hours drive from Wrigley Field. Although many in this home of the University of Notre Dame adopted the White Sox as their baseball team during my adolescent days of the 1960s, we were Cubs fans in our household.
With apologies to Lamond, who is nearly two decades younger than me, those of us in South Bend during the Banks era were the most diehard group of Cubs fans ever. We had to be. Courtesy of the distance, we couldn't get to many games in person. We mostly hugged Banks and the rest of our Cubbies through radio and television, and we rarely missed a game.
I'm talking about primitive TV, by the way. There was no cable television, and satellite dishes were the stuff of the delusional. Plus, in a town the size of South Bend, most folks couldn't get more than three channels while clicking (no remote) the dial.
We were lucky. My dad did TV repair work when he wasn't collecting a full-time check from his regular job. As a result, he made sure we had one of those huge antennas that was just shy of the height of the John Hancock Center. He placed it on top of the house. Why? Among other things, it allowed us to pick up Cubs games -- you know, sort of -- from WGN in Chicago.
The broadcast faded in and out. When it was in, the picture on our black-and-white set was hazy, and the players looked as if they were playing in fog. You could hear the voice of Cubs broadcaster Jack Brickhouse more often than not, and you also could pick out Banks on most occasions.
Banks was the tall figure with the distinctive stance.
Radio worked better for us regarding Cubs baseball. The signal was crystal clear over the 50,000 watts of WGN radio, and we couldn't wait to hear Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau open every broadcast in Chicago talking about the "Friendly Confines" and "Wrigley's beautiful sunshine," and the exploits of the losing yet lovable Cubs in general, and Mr. Cub in particular.
I still have the recording from the late 1960s, when I placed my tape recorder next to the radio to catch the voice of Pat Pieper, the iconic public address announcer at Wrigley Field for 59 years. The scenario rarely changed when Mr. Cub left the batter's box, and this was more of the same. The crowd quieted, and then Pieper said with his megaphone-sounding tone over the rickety speakers of the old ballpark, "Next batter for the Cubs ... 14 ...
"Ernie Banks."
The screaming went on forever.
Then, Lloyd giggled on the recording before saying, "Once again, Lou, you would think they didn't know it was him coming to the plate."
We didn't see "him" live until 1968, and it wasn't at Wrigley. That year, my dad transferred to Cincinnati for his job, where we quickly became disciples of the Big Red Machine. We retained our allegiance to the Cubs, because we couldn't desert Ernie. Then, as only the baseball gods would have it, the first game we attended that season in Cincinnati at Crosley Field involved the Reds and the Cubs.
This is the most striking thing that my two brothers and I remember about that game: Ernie's shiny black shoes at first base.
"Since that night, I've never seen a pair of baseball spikes sparkle that brightly in my life," Dennis Moore told me on Saturday from Cincinnati, where he lives with his own family. "That night influenced me throughout my Little League career and high school days to keep my spikes as clean as possible. Even when I managed my [youth baseball teams] a few years ago, I told my kids that story about Ernie Banks, about always looking your best on the field."
One more thought on Mr. Cub: When my godson, Julian, was four years old, I began turning him into a baseball fan. By the time he was six, he could tell you everything from who yelled "The Giants win the pennant" several times into a microphone to what happened on April 8, 1974. When he was eight, I took him on a trip to Wrigley Field and Miller Park in Milwaukee.
Julian is 23 now, and he lives in Los Angeles, where he has attended more than a few Dodgers games between working for an entertainment firm. At 6:06 a.m. ET on Saturday, he sent me this text ...
So sad to hear about Ernie Banks. Let's play 2!

On February 9, several DCBIA members submitted and presented oral comments at the DC Water's Open House, a forum designed to get feedback from the developer community and the public regarding their "System Availability Fee (SAF)". The SAF is one-time fee on new, renovation and redevelopment projects which is scheduled to go into effect in June 2018 and has been twice delayed in response to DCBIA and AOBA letters.
A major reason for DCBIA and AOBA opposition is that DC Water has not yet created a standardized system that allows developers to obtain "credits" from the SAF for each linear foot of public infrastructure required by DC Water to install or create on projects not truly related to the development project. The impact of this fee, which is up to $700K for projects of a certain size has the potential to derail projects, particularly affordable housing projects. At the Open House, Board members Katie Wiacek of Hines, Chris Earley of Greening Urban, Brook Katzen of UIP, John Farrell of Cushman & Wakefield and others shared strong testimony against raising the fee until and unless these major issues are addressed.
Read the comments HERE.
NAIOP MD | DC has also joined as a signatory to DCBIA and AOBA's submitted comments. This week, DCBIA shared the full submission with the DC Water Board of Directors, Deputy Mayor for Planning & Economic Development and several Councilmembers. Until these concerns are addressed, DCBIA, AOBA and NAIOP MD | DC do not believe the fee should be implemented. We will keep you posted on next steps and outcome.

{Taking a Step Back: Parenting Role Models to Avoid}
GreatDad.com recently published an article suggesting we do just that: take a step back and determine if we are falling into any of these four "Role Models to Avoid":
1. The Emotional Patient
2. The Guilt Tripper
3. The Permissive Parent
4. The Martyr
1 comment:
- AnonymousAugust 06, 2009
My father was definitely the permissive parent. He was also the parent who chased every tail in sight and brought them home even when all he saw of me was every other weekend. I even lectured him about how I would not be coming back to his house if he planned to grow marijuana in his house (I found it).ReplyDelete
Kind of odd for your 16 year old daughter to be talking to you like that. I praise you for holding onto your daughter as your refered to in your next post. Not all fathers do.
Now, I am 30, married and have 2 kids. My father has not ever met my youngest (he's 2) and has only seen my oldest (5) once. I don't keep him out of my life (he has since changed his behaviors and remarried), but I think he feels so embarrassed now that he really doesn't know how to talk to me. It's really kind of sad. I call him every couple of months, but honestly, if I didn't call him--I wouldn't hear from him.
I am enjoying your blog.

Do you remember what life was like before smartphones? It shouldn't be too difficult-- the culture-changing cellular smartphone is a mere eight years old. The history of wireless telecommunications, on the other hand, is much older. How old? Turn the page back to 1880. That's when Alexander Graham Bell tested and patented the photophone, a wireless communications device that transmitted and received voice and sound on beams of light. Bell believed this invention was his crowning achievement, "greater than the telephone." Bell's implicit observation persists to this day: connecting with wires is cool, but connecting wirelessly is infinitely cooler.
Today, wireless connectivity is all around us. We are literally swimming in wireless signaling, and wireless technology advances faster each year. Smart cars and connected homes, once the subject of science fiction, are now a reality. The cutting edge of wireless technology brings even more magic to the plate. Wearable technology, wireless sensor networking, ambient backscatter networking, and 5G offer exciting new ways for service providers to differentiate and deliver compelling products to the market.
News flash: nothing in wireless is hotter right now than wearable technology. It's on the cover of numerous publications, from tech mags to fashion and lifestyle rags. By the time this article is published, every company from Intel and Qualcomm to Epson and Samsung will have showcased wearable wireless tech at CES 2014. Google Glass got the discussion going—now it's a global chorus as device manufacturers jump whole hog into wearable tech. It may seem unlikely that people would eschew iPhones for smart watches, but as Wired magazine pointed out in December, ten years ago the thought of using cell phones for email and web surfing (which were, at the time, desktop tasks), seemed foreign. Juniper Research predicts the wearable tech market will be worth more than $1.5 billion in 2014, and Business Intelligence forecasts that the market will grow to more than $12 billion by 2018
"The furor about wearable technologies, particularly smart watches and smart glasses, is unsurprising," wrote Josh Flood, senior analyst at ABI Research, in February 2013. Even though they aren't readily available to the public, smart glasses are set to boom. Futuresoure predicts that nearly seven million smart glasses will be sold by 2017, generating close to two billion dollars.
While gallons of ink has been spilled on smart glasses and watches, Angela McIntyre, research director at Gartner, provided some insight into other types of devices that manufacturers will showcase in 2014:
"At CES, we will see athletic shirts with sensors woven in to track heart rate and respiration during training and competitions. Smart undershirts for infants will monitor their heart rate, breathing and sleep. Wearable devices for home health monitoring of the elderly will include clothing and accessories, such as wristbands that can track heart rate, monitor activity level during the day, detect falls, provide location information and send alerts to caregivers."

A litle more of Gogol's absurd story of nasal knavery. In the first part, Ivan Yakovlevitch finds a nose in a bread roll and attempts to dispose of it, only to be accosted by a constable.
Many questions linger unanswered; if Collegiate Assessor Kovalev had no nose, then how did he smell?

Police colleagues became suspicious about Osman Iqbal's wealth when he arrived at work in a Ferrari sports car
A former police officer jailed for running a brothel and laundering money has admitted three further offences.
Osman Iqbal, who served with West Midlands Police, was sentenced to seven years in September but ongoing legal proceedings meant the case could not be reported at the time.
Iqbal, of Ward End Road, Birmingham, admitted misconduct in public office.
The 37-year-old had attempted to get unauthorised access to police intelligence systems for a friend.
Iqbal was asked by Nahiem Ajmal, a Birmingham religious leader, to get information from police computer systems on behalf of Sajad Khan, West Midlands Police said.
Ajmal and Khan were both found guilty of misconduct in public office.
West Midlands Police's counter corruption unit began investigating Iqbal when colleagues became suspicious of his apparent wealth when he arrived at work in a Ferrari.
They discovered Iqbal had bank accounts for two non-existent businesses which were being used to launder "hundreds of thousands of pounds" from brothels in the Covent Garden and Marylebone areas of London.
'Greed was his downfall'
In September, Iqbal, four other men and a woman were jailed for conspiracy to run a brothel, conspiracy to launder money and possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
During investigations into those crimes, detectives discovered Iqbal's attempts to access the police intelligence systems.
Iqbal had served as an officer in Kings Heath, Birmingham.
Ch Insp Martin Brennan, from the serious and organised crime unit, said: "Their greed was their downfall and when they were seen driving around in their supercars it didn't take us long to piece together exactly what they were up to and take action."
Insp Tracey McGrath added: "Occasionally there are people who disgracefully betray the public and even their own colleagues by exploiting their status for their own gain.
"Let me reassure people, that my counter corruption team are on to people like Iqbal and there's nowhere for them to hide.
"In this case we'll be looking to seize all the assets Iqbal acquired as a result of his criminal activity and his police pension too."
Ajmal, 35, from Bucklands Lane in Hodge Hill, and Khan, also 35, from Lodge Road in Hockley, are due to be sentenced along with Iqbal for misconduct in public office on 9 February.

Modern cosmetic dentistry offers many options for improving your smile, and it can be a little overwhelming. When choosing between Invisalign® and bonding, the smart choice depends on the problem you're trying to solve. Here's what you need to know.
It's Thanksgiving 2017, and I have to say I have a lot to be thankful for. I have to say that nothing is more important to be than the health and well-being of my family. I am grateful for having an amazing wife, who is my rock, who shares my vision and love. She is beautiful, supportive, loving, and simply brilliant. I am grateful for my kids. Matthew, Gabriel, and Norah. They are well-adjusted, good natured, and fun loving. They are handsome, beautiful, and smart. I am the luckiest guy in the world!
Financially, we took a big step forward and finally put a retirement plan as well as a trust together this year. We are now consistently contributing to our future and the kids' future education, what a relief!
Physically, I challenged myself and completed my first marathon, the Portland marathon in October. What a blast, and what an amazing feeling it was to cross that finish line! All the training, dedication, time and miles all came with an amazing validation of triumph. It was so incredible to be surrounded by like minds at the starting line, knowing everyone had a different reason, story, and journey to get there, but at the same time, just to know how much faith and training it took to be there. I feel fitter and better than I have had in a long time.
Career and mission wise, there have been also a lot of breakthroughs. I've had the fortune to help a lot patients with more complex conditions. All the training, flying around to better my knowledge and skills are paying dividends. I am incredibly grateful for my colleagues and mentors who have helped me navigate through some difficult cases and provide encouragement through challenging times. I am grateful for my team who have been working so hard all year to help me accomplish my vision, and of course, I am grateful for my family of patients who share their stories and lives with us and continue to entrust me and my team with their health and smile.
I love my life, I love this life. I am thankful to be in a position to be able to give back to the community that has given me so much. "The secret to living is giving" – Tony Robbins, ain't that the truth. It feels great to help others, to contribute to the community, to get out of my own head and to be a part of something bigger.
Volunteering at the dental van has always given me so much joy each time, being able to serve those who do not have the means. I feel their gratitude, and it just warms my heart and gives me so much, "Juice!" Being able to take Matthew to serve dinner and take the team to serve breakfast at Portland Rescue Mission was also a blessing!
Finally, as I reflect on 2017 this Thanksgiving, and it isn't over yet, I remember all the victories to celebrate, all the milestones to be grateful for and all the magic moments I have shared with the ones I love and those who love me.
There were so many magical moments, but the highlights include, the snow-apocalypse in the January, all the missing school days and works days that ended with sledding down the hills with the kids in front of the house. All the new friendships I have formed, learning to ski with the kids and staying at the ski cabin with family and friends. Matthew's last second inbound pass that led to a bucket to tie the basketball game, even though they ended up losing the game. Spring break trip to Taiwan with Gabriel to visit mom and dad. Norah's earth festival dance! Exploring the Oregon coast on Memorial Day weekend! Gabriel and Norah's combo Birthday party with 50 screaming kids! Camping at Barton Park and floating down the Clackamas River with the kids! I even made it out in one piece after crashing a rental car in Jersey while on the way to a seminar. The 5K bubble run with the kids, exploring Puget Sound, hood canal, kayaking, clam digging and just relaxing! The trip to Vancouver BC at the end of the summer, experiencing the night market, hiking the lighthouse trial and playing on the beach, and that's just the beginning.
What can I say this Thanksgiving? I am the luckiest guy I know and I couldn't be more grateful for everyone in my life and all the experiences that have made me who I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well, than we all hope, off course, that a lot of people entered and that maybe another fan will find your balloon of that we self will find one of these balloons. Maybe there will actually fly one straight to Bill, Tom, Gustav or Georg.
Everyone who found a balloon can report that here (at "Contact" and we'll put all the balloons that were found ("I was found" on the site
This action should manely bring a lot of fun and in the best case, bring a couple Tokio Hotel fans together.
DATE: 15 august 2007

This story was updated at 5:48 p.m. with new information from Volkswagen.
Volkswagen said its current-generation diesel engine doesn't have software designed to cheat on emissions tests, meaning its global recall of as many as 11 million cars won't need to be even bigger, according to Bloomberg.
Diesel cars with EA 288 motors meet legal and environmental requirements, the Wolfsburg, Germany-based company saidThursday in an e-mailed statement. The EA 288 replaced the EA 189 class of engines implicated in the emissions scandal.
Volkswagen had said earlier Thursday that it was examining whether other diesel engines have software that cheated emissions tests by turning on full pollution filters only when cars were being tested.
German automaker Volkswagen says it is trying to determine whether even more of its cars may have been fitted with software that was used to cheat on U.S. emissions tests.
The company had previously said that the software was installed on cars with variants of the EA 189 diesel engine built to the "Euro 5" emissions standard.
Spokesman Pietro Zollino confirmed to the AP today a report from the dpa press agency that the company is now checking whether models with the EA 288 diesel motor built to the same emissions standard may also have the software.
Newer cars built to the "Euro 6" standard are said not to be affected.
Zollino didn't say how many cars are being checked. VW previously said 11 million cars worldwide were affected.

Stoneface Brewing Company | Newington, NH
Brewery Design
With a rising demand for their popular beers and the need to expand its production capabilities in kind, Stoneface Brewing Co. required a design that would accommodate an expedited construction effort.
After this expansion to an adjacent tenant space—the 4,000 bbl brewery increased to 8,000 bbl, and space was created for new state-of-the-art fermenting, conditioning, and packaging equipment. Through a coordinated design-build effort, with the general contractor and Stoneface, the project added a welcoming tasting room, which expands seasonally with outdoor seating, includes a full-service kitchen, as well as private, rentable space for meetings and parties.

The match saw 2 sin-binnings and a massive 33 charges as the Sharks triggered an upset over the visitors.
The only shot of the match came midway through the very first half from the Sharks Edrick Lee, assisting Cronulla recover cost for the season with 2 wins and 2 losses.
When Ryan Hoffman was held up 7 minutes prior to the period it was the only time Melbourne crossed the line, their points originating from 2 Joe Stimson charge objectives.
The contest ended with physical fights in between gamers from both sides, the pushing and pressing continuing after the full-time hooter sounded.
Melbourne's indiscipline cost them as, after back-chatting referee Matt Cecchin 3 times and being marched back 10 metres each time, Cameron Smith was sin-binned for attempting it a 4th time.
The Sharks success came in spite of essential off-season finalizings Josh Dugan and Matt Moylan being eliminated with leg injuries.
With Moylan missing out on a 2nd straight video game it was an opportunity for Trent Hodkinson to press himself forward.
Cronulla emerged with credit for their strength, keeping the Storm at bay even when they were down to 12 guys throughout Luke Lewis' 10-minute stint in the sin-bin.
Shane Flanagan's side just missed out on 5 takes on in the opening 40 minutes, and led 8-0 up until near to the period when Stimson kicked his very first charge objective.
Cronulla's try out 24 minutes came when in 2015's Holden Cup under-20 centre of the year Jesse Ramien sent out a one-handed flick pass completely for Lee to score in the corner.
Chad Townsend offered all their other points, from the conversion and 4 charge objectives.

Demi Lovato Reveals She Used To Shut Out Female Friends: Message To Selena Gomez?
Demi Lovato is a preacher of empowerment, femininity and peace — but she wasn't always so inspired by her female counterparts. In a new interview, the singer reveals her struggle to surround herself with women during her early career and possibly speaks directly to her ex-BFF, Selena Gomez!
What really happened between Demi Lovato, 24, and Selena Gomez, 24, who were total BFF goals from their Barney & Friends years to their Disney Channel debuts? Demi opened up to Mamamia! in a new interview and gave a hint into what made their friendship blow up and why Demi mostly gave up on female friends all together early in her career.
"In my work environment, I used to only surround myself with men," the "Cool For The Summer" singer said to the outlet. "I only had guys in my band, and I toured with guys and my tour manager was a guy and this and that." Demi was frequently with Nick and Joe Jonas, who are still two of her best friends, but throughout the years, she appeared to have broken ties with most of her female friends. From Selena Gomez to Taylor Swift to Miley Cyrus, Demi went through a long list of girlfriends she totally cut off and even publicly feuded with. She continued this behavior until actively changing her thinking.
Demi Lovato & Guilherme Vasconcelos Pics!
"I made a specific change. There was a time I used to say that I just didn't get along with girls," she said. "I reevaluated why I didn't get along with girls, and I think it's because I didn't really have any in my life that I trusted. Now I've made it a point to surround myself with strong women and it's really made a difference in my life." While it's a bit of subtle shade pointed at her old BFFs, it's so amazing that Demi is acknowledging her difficulty making friends and has made an effort to make that change!
It's evident that Demi has embraced girl power much more in recent years, especially when she joined Hillary Clinton on her campaign trail for president in 2016! From HRC to Meghan Trainor, Demi has some pretty remarkable women surrounding her and she continues to be a strong leading voice for all women.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Demi Lovato's admission that she struggled to make female friends when she was younger? Do you think this has to do with Selena? Let us know!

GameSpy has posted an interesting look at the history of video game ratings. Currently a hot topic, particularly in light of the recent "Hot Coffee" debacle, official game rating systems have been around for quite some time now.
It may surprise some gamers to learn that the first country with a manufacturer-organized rating system was actually Japan. Dubbed the Ethics Organization of Computer Software, the EOCS was formed to alert consumers to the adult content contained within certain PC games.
Also touched upon is the well-known Mortal Kombat stir, where both Nintendo and Sega released censored and uncensored versions, respectively:
Nintendo stood firm through the release of Mortal Kombat, demanding that the game's blood and violence be removed in the Super NES port. While it may have made Nintendo look saintly in the eyes of parents, the retail sales told a different story, with the Genesis Mortal Kombat vastly outselling the Super NES port, and the core audience of devoted game players viewing Nintendo as a bunch of censors determined to sanitize adult-themed games down to the level of children.
