I see you in long sleeves & jackets at the drive in???? That's a good way to sit at a drive in - not when its horribly hot with bugs everywhere.

Glad you had a great 4th.

I was loving all of your snaps of your trip to Maine! It looked so gorgeous, and I'm so jealous that you're that close to that many states up north! It takes us a few hours to get out of Texas! The drive in movie looked like so much fun, and that's awesome that you were able to cross that off of your summer bucket list! I hope your Tuesday has gotten off to a great start!ReplyDelete
So fun! Looks like y'all had a wonderful weekend. So many great pictures - how cute is that Ford truck?!ReplyDelete

Looks like SUCH a wonderful weekend. Seriously, your pictures are insane, I have Maine summers on my bucket list!ReplyDelete
What a fun weekend!! That is so great that you went to a drive-in, how fun! I love your lip color. What is it?ReplyDelete
I was in Maine for my sister's wedding just two weeks ago! It's pretty. Cold, but pretty! Sad you didn't enjoy tubing, that was one of my favorite things to do growing up! Did you ride on your belly or did you sit in the tube? It's really hard to hold on when you're on your belly going over the boat's wake but if you're in the tube it can really hurt your rump so... Trade-offs, right?ReplyDelete
Wow looks like tons of summery fun!!! Especially the Drive in Movie!!!! We used to have one near our house and would go as kids. So fun!!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your fashion shoot with that cool retro car!! Glad you had a great weekend, girl!ReplyDelete

Spending the long weekend at the lake sounds like perfection indeed and it looks gorgeous! It looks gorgeous there and so cool it's a short drive and that you're so close to several states so you're exploring new places opportunities are almost limitless. That lobsta roll though! I wish we had a good place around here to get some.ReplyDelete
Looks like you guys had an awesome, fun-filled weekend! I'm so glad you were able to go to a drive-in movie...I LOVE them!

Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the short (YES!) week!ReplyDelete

Medical pot bill likely dead in Iowa Legislature
A proposal to legalize marijuana for medical use likely is dead for this session.
A Senate subcommittee approved the bill Monday, but the panel's chairman, Iowa City Sen. Joe Bolkcom, says the proposal likely won't go further because there isn't support for it in a full committee.
The bill would allow patients with a qualifying condition, such as cancer, to get a prescription for medical marijuana. Nonprofit dispensaries could provide marijuana to eligible patients.
Bill advocates with illnesses like multiple sclerosis and post-traumatic stress disorder testified Monday that marijuana was a better alternative to synthetic prescription drugs
Republican subcommittee member Sen. Joni Ernst opposed the bill, saying it would be difficult to ensure dispensaries wouldn't sell marijuana to people without a prescription.
A House subcommittee has rejected a similar bill.

Hetch Hetchy measure swamped by voters
San Francisco voters overwhelmingly rejected Proposition F, a plan that would have taken the first steps toward draining Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and drastically revamped the way much of the Bay Area gets its water.
The city also approved Proposition E, which will revise the city's business tax, and Proposition B, a $195 million park bond that needed a two-thirds vote to pass.
Proposition C, which will provide money for affordable housing, was also approved , while Proposition D, which will consolidate the elections for city attorney and city treasurer with the mayor's race, won easily.
Proposition G, a policy statement declaring San Francisco's opposition to increased corporate financing in politics, passed by a wide margin.
The Prop. F initiative was the culmination of a years-long effort by environmentalists to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. The valley was flooded in 1923, when the city dammed the Tuolumne River to create a water system that now serves 2.6 million people in San Francisco and 29 other Bay Area cities.The measure, supporters said, would have compelled the city to take a much-needed look at its water usage and come up with a plan to replace the water and power now supplied by the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. A separate vote in 2016 would have been required before the O'Shaughnessy Dam could be demolished.
But opponents successfully argued that not only is the reservoir impossible to replace, but restoring the valley would cost billions in public money that's just not there.
Prop. E will change how San Francisco levies its business tax, which is the city's second-largest source of general fund revenue behind property taxes, bringing in $410 million last year.
The measure, the result of a compromise Mayor Ed Lee worked out with business and labor in the city, will replace the city's current business tax, based on a company's total payroll, with one based on revenue. The rates would vary by industry and company size.
It's also expected to generate an additional $28.5 million a year for city coffers from increased business license fees, which haven't been raised since 2001.
Part of the additional money from increased license fees - about $13 million in the first year - will help offset the cost of the Prop. C housing measure.
When fully implemented, the 30-year program would funnel almost $51 million a year into affordable and middle-income housing. It would also reduce by 20 percent developers' requirements for building on-site affordable units, and it would cap affordable-housing requirements for the next 30 years at the current level unless a developer is seeking an exemption to a city land-use rule.
The park bond will earmark $133.5 million to repair and upgrade 21 neighborhood parks and playgrounds across the city, with the remaining $61.5 million going for citywide park projects.
As with many San Francisco ballots, Tuesday's featured an advisory measure allowing local residents to weigh in on matters of national significance. This time, it was Prop. G.
It calls on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment reversing the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2010 that permitted unlimited spending on political campaigns by corporations on the basis that, like people, they have free speech rights.
Prop. D will eliminate the separate low-turnout elections for city attorney and city treasurer. In order to get the offices on the new cycle, the scheduled November 2013 election for the posts will be for two-year terms, with an election for full, four-year terms in 2015.

- Keep in mind that these policies are ultimately guidelines. If it's found that a policy restricts something that the reason the policy was created didn't intend to restrict, then the policy should be changed.
General notes
- Note that results of images breaking these policies depends on which part of the policy and severity of the case.
- One or two poor quality images being uploaded may just get tagged, but a large number of images that add more work for the other editors on the wiki may result in the user being blocked if they don't hold up on the uploads.
- Use a good filename.
- We have {{Poor filename}} and {{Image naming}} for images uploaded with bad filenames. Do not use a semi-colon in the filename.
- If your image is less than the width/height listed on the template (excluding black bar cropping), your edit will just be reverted.
- Use Special:Upload page to upload your images.
- It comes with a form which you need to fill in as best as possible and select an appropriate file name and licensing to upload the image.
- The form will automatically create a rationale based upon your input.
- When you upload a new image do not overwrite any existing images.
- Always upload new images under a new file-name (via Special:Upload).
- Uploading images over top of other images messes up the image page's history and makes it hard to discern between images with proper tagging, and images without tagging that were uploaded over top of images that had proper tagging resulting in an irrelevant rationale being left on the page.
- The only case where you should make use of the re-upload feature is-
- When you are uploading a better quality image of the same image i.e.
- Same media, same episode/chapter, same scene/page, same basic frame of the episode/manga.
Duplicate Images
- Duplicate Images will be deleted regularly from the wiki
- Before uploading make sure your image does not already exist on the wiki
- Use Special:Listfiles for this purpose.
- For more advanced searching, use Project:ListFiles.
Image origins
- We only allow official images to be uploaded.
- Images directly from the anime and manga should only be used.
- And of course game images for game stuff.
- However please do not upload a game image for use on a page about something that is also in the anime or manga.
- Fan drawn images, fan colourings, images uploaded for use on the forums only, and other images that have been edited (other than for simple resizing or cropping), will all be deleted unconditionally.
Image quality
For the most part, when an image is poor quality we just tag it with {{Poor quality}} till someone uploads an image to replace it.
- A short list of quality notes
- Avoid widescreen shots. Widescreen images sometimes contain black bars, and more importantly the large width of the images disrupts the visibility of thumbnails by increasing the amount of empty space. It's best to clip the image down to what you are actually depicting.
- Avoid watermarks. If an image is watermarked by a TV Station, then we may just tag it with {{Poor quality|watermark}}. However if the image you upload is watermarked by another website we will likely delete it right away.
- Avoid subtitles and translations made by scanalation groups. When clipping from manga it's best to use the raws, and for anime either use the raw, or use a frame where there is no subtitle, or use a group that uses soft subtitles and formats like .mkv. Subtitles and the edits made by scanalation groups ruin the image, reduces its originality, and also incorporates a fuzzy copyright issue that technically makes those images illegal.
- If an anime image poorly represents a scene, a manga image should be used in its place if available. Also, coloured manga images without text, are preferable to anime images unless they disrupt the flow of the page.
- Don't bother uploading personal images for your userpage as we don't allow fan images to be uploaded anyways.
- You are still free to upload most of the stuff you find on Wikimedia Commons and use it here.
- Only properly tagged images can be used in articles.
- When placing an image inside of an article, never use px sizing. Instead use a
- Using px sizes overrides user preferences on the sizing of thumbnails and makes things inconsistent, so we avoid the use of it.
- The only exception to this rule is for special images locations and icons. Such as the icons in templates and images in infoboxes which require a specific size to be flush with the infobox.
- When placing images manually, use
Image:as the latter is known to cause problems with Whatlinkshere and file usage.
- Do not place images inside paragraphs.
- In Appearance Section:
- The primary image should be near flawless and show as much of the character in colour as possible
- If possible the image should be from the manga as it is the closest to the original concept of the author.
- Never place an image just above or next to a headline, that disturbs the flow of the text.
- For infobox images, we generally use an image depicting the first appearance of the character.
- Any character who appears in both Part I and Part II and have had significant changes should have two images, one from each part of the series.
- Discussion regarding those character which have an anime and a manga image should be initiated as to whether the manga image should be removed or kept.
- If there is a discrepancy between the manga image and anime image, then both a manga image and an anime image should be used. Otherwise an anime image alone suffices.
Legal tagging
See also: Help:Common image pages
- Any edit replacing a tagged image with a non-tagged image will be reverted.
Just a legal tangent from Narutopedia (edited to reflect this wiki):
- The copyright and rights to Dragon Ball images ALWAYS remain with the creators of the series and their licencors, be that Toriyama, Toei Animation, or Viz. So do understand that whether you get your images directly from a raw, scan them in yourself, capture them from a scanalation or fansub, or borrow them from another website, the copyright of those images always belongs to the creators of the series, despite whatever another site may say.
- That being said, it is always good to provide a link back to the original image when you note what your source of the image is.
- Also remember that these are about Dragon Ball series images. Images drawn by fans don't fall under the same category. However they have trademark issues as well as being very poor depictions of official things so they are not permitted anyways.
Now, for images we use on the wiki, we use images under fair use and fair dealing laws. These laws can protect a limited use of official images but there are restrictions, and to comply properly all images we upload should be tagged with proper fair use information and rationales. Understand that images used in articles always have preference to properly tagged images. This means that if you upload a image without a fair use rationale, and there is already an image that exists that does have a rationale, that other image will always be preferred even if it is of extremely poor quality and you uploaded one of good quality.
Under fair use laws it is better to use smaller portions of something. However we are only dealing with single frames of large videos. And small clippings out of manga. So as long as you clip manga images down to the actual thing you are trying to get an image of and don't upload videos, it's not something you need to worry about. In fact we prefer that images get uploaded with the highest quality you can get hold of. MediaWiki handles thumbnails on its own, so we don't need to worry about file sizes.

Article content
The family of a Calgary man found dead three weeks after he went missing is hoping an investigation into the way police handled the case will bring "needed" changes to police-First Nations relations.
Eighteen-year-old Colton Crowshoe was last seen early July 4, when he was leaving a party with friends. Nearly three weeks later, his body was discovered in a pond near Stoney Trail in the city's northeast. Police ruled Crowshoe's death a homicide.
On Friday, the provincial agency responsible for investigating police announced it is looking at the interactions between Calgary police officers and Crowshoe before he disappeared.
Crowshoe had been arrested July 2 and charged with trespassing and break and enter, but was released the same day.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response team also said in a release that it will investigate "allegations of a possible breach of trust" in how police handled the missing-person complaint.
"Overall, we want justice for Colton," his aunt, Danielle, said Saturday.
And while she is confident in the homicide detectives investigating Crowshoe's murder, she said the independent review of police conduct is necessary to address the family's allegations that officers dismissed their requests for help and racially profiled Crowshoe.
In July, after his body was found, Crowshoe's aunt told the Herald police showed a lack of empathy to the family.
"Right away, off the bat, they started making all these assumptions," Danielle Crowshoe said July 28. "(Police) didn't know Colton . . . right away they stereotyped him."
According to a Friday release from the city, Calgary police "proactively" requested the review Aug. 15, the same day Danielle Crowshoe and other members of the family met with police.
She said the request for an independent review came from family, not police.
"They were leaning more toward an internal investigation, and we did not want that," said Danielle Crowshoe.
She wants to see a larger contingent of aboriginal liaisons in the police force, as well as an actual Aboriginal unit.
The Calgary Police Service currently has one Aboriginal liaison officer. It's not enough, she said.
"First Nations are overrepresented in the criminal justice system," Danielle Crowshoe said. "That's the elephant in the room."
The family also wants police to increase diversity training specific to First Nations people and more quickly release missing-person's reports to the public.
They met with ASIRT on Friday and will continue to stay in touch with the agency as the investigation continues, Danielle Crowshoe said.
"Time will tell," she said. "We have hope."

Charles Bullen Dunn, right, and Herbert Washington, both of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area, represent the dilemma of Maine hunting in the late nineteenth century.
The state and many businesses promoted the image of Maine as a hunting paradise and sought to attract out-of-state sportsmen as a way to boost the economy.
Hunting and fishing regulations and their enforcement seemed to some Mainers to favor the out-of-state sportsmen over the Mainers who wanted to hunt for food or economic reasons of their own.

Kibera, Kenya – Community Turns Garbage Into Energy Source
Kibera, Kenya – Community Turns Garbage Into Energy Source
A community-based organisation in the Kenyan slum area of Kibera set out to clean up garbage and deal with waste water; Ushiriki Wa Safi ended up creating a community cooker that turns waste into an energy source.
Open sewers and piles of garbage are an all too familiar scene in many of Kenya's poorest urban areas. Local authorities are invisible in most of these slums, and poor public hygiene and the absence of sanitation leaves residents to their own devices to maintain a level of cleanliness and keep diseases like diarrhoea at bay.
But some have seen this as an opportunity to bring about change to communities. Ushirika Wa Safi – (loosely translated, the name means "an association to maintain cleanliness" in Swahili) – a community-based organisation in Kibera, was formed to deal with the garbage problem in Laini Saba, one of the thirteen villages that form Kibera slums, often described as Africa's largest.
The CBO has come up with a remarkable solution in the form of a community cooker that turns garbage into energy. It is a recycling project that is transforming the lives of local residents.
Discovering the wonders of the "cooker"
"When we started the CBO, the idea was to start a project that could help keep the environment clean. We therefore began by constructing trenches where people could pour dirty water. Further, we divided Laini Saba into four zones and each zone would meet once a week to collect and burn garbage," explains Bernand Asanya, the project manager.
The four zones would meet every three months for a general cleaning exercise. This approach seemed satisfactory for a while but with time, people began to dump garbage into the trenches meant for dirty water.
This presented a fresh problem as the trenches began to look and smell like open sewers. It is at this point that Ushirika Wa Usafi decided to experiment by coming up with a garbage-fired boiler that would provide hot water for showering.
"We had already built a number of toilets and bathrooms where the community pays a few shillings to either use the toilet or to take a shower. The reality in Laini Saba, as is the case with most slums, is that there are neither toilets nor bathrooms. People bath in their tiny houses and relieve themselves in plastic bags," Asanya explains.
Transforming the lives of the poor
But when they presented their idea to Planning Systems Services Limited (PLANNING) – a group of international architects – to assist them in developing a design, their idea developed into a pilot project that has transformed the lives of many residents of Laini Saba village.
The architects proposed that instead of developing an incinerator that would only heat water for bathing, they could develop a community cooker where the locals pay a fixed fee to cook their food.
As fate would have it, the chairman of PLANNING, Jim Archer, had been developing a plan to address waste management in Africa and was determined to work together with the CBO.
"We therefore went back to the drawing board and bought 500 nylon sacks. We then approached the local chief with our idea and he helped us organise a meeting with the locals. During this meeting we communicated our intention to maintain cleanliness and also to build a community cooker," adds Asanya.
The sacks were distributed to the people with the instructions that once the sack was full the CBO, with the help of a group of young people would come by to collect the garbage in a wheelbarrow, immediately return the sack to the owner.
The garbage would then be deposited at the project site for sorting. "We don't burn everything," Asanya says. "We sell some of the garbage as scrap and make money from it. Material that can be burnt is then channeled into the cooker and used to generate heat."
Changing Lives
"This community cooker has changed our lives. For a very small fee I can cook the meal of my choice, bake, and even take a hot bath at the adjacent bathrooms as I wait for my food to cook," explains Nora Kaseu, a beneficiary.
To keep the garbage burning, a quantity of used diesel that would otherwise have been disposed of in a manner that further harms the environment. At the bottom of the cooker is a metal plate, where a drop of water and a drop of diesel are released at the same time and in equal measure to continuously generate sparks that keep the garbage burning.
The CBO has employed a caretaker who is always on standby to keep the cooker burning. What seemed like an impossible situation of garbage control has led to the creation of employment for youths who collect the garbage, as well as the caretakers working at the project site. It has given the community an environmentally friendly way of disposing of waste.
Resident Daina Waithera, says that compared to other sources of fuel, it is proving quite economical: "The ashes from the cookers are also useful. They are collected by people who have pit latrines at home to keep away the foul smell and to keep the waste from rising to the surface."

Like mayor twin, Castro stands out
When his minute-older brother gives the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, Joaquín Castro will be nearby, as he always is and has been for big moments in their 37 years as identical twins.
On Sept. 4, Castro is likely to share the spotlight if plans proceed to have him introduce his brother, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, for the prime-time speech that follows Michelle Obama's remarks.
"We've been very supportive of each other, best friends, since we were young. We were competitive growing up, but as you get older, you mature and mellow a bit," said Castro, the Democratic candidate for U.S. House District 20 and a five-term Texas House member representing Northwest San Antonio.
Born to a family of activists, Joaquín Castro delved into public service as a college student, while he and his brother studied at Stanford University and Harvard Law School. They took a year's break between undergraduate and law school, returning to San Antonio to mentor students and work on community projects. At age 23, the clean-cut Castro brothers were being compared to a young Henry Cisneros.
A decade ago, after his twin was elected to the City Council, Joaquín Castro successfully challenged a three-term Democratic lawmaker. He rose to vice chair of the Texas House Committee on Higher Education, where he's advocated improvements to veterans' college benefits and admission rules.
"The work that I've done in higher education is to me the issue that I've been most passionate about, trying to get more students to college and getting them to graduate," Castro said.
He hopes to work with a second Obama administration on job creation and access to health care, "particularly because we're in a state where you have the highest percentage of uninsured people," Castro said.
If elected, Castro would fill the seat of retiring U.S. Rep. Charles Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, who replaced his father, the late Henry B. Gonzalez, in the solidly Democratic district.
"I realize I have big shoes to fill," Castro said. "We've tried to take nothing for granted. That's why we're still running a full-fledged campaign," he said.
If he makes it to Congress, Castro could be one of the best-known freshmen and one of its youngest members.

Age: 37
Profession: Attorney

Candidate for U.S. House District 20

"He's already out of the crowd," said Austin political consultant Bill Miller. "He could go far and he could go fast," Miller said.
"If his brother enjoys greater success than he already has, that will only help Joaquín. It's like the roads get paved ahead of you," Miller said.
The consultant said the identical-twin novelty factor is important nationally.
"It's a unique circumstance where you have two very talented political figures who are identical twins. Seriously," Miller said. "Because of that, it offers a fun opportunity which they can make good use of."
For now, Castro is coping with greater demands for his time on national stages, while insisting his top priority is his contested congressional race in Bexar County.
"I've told the Obama campaign that I'd be glad to be helpful where I can. I've gone out of town once for them, to Florida, and I suspect I may get to travel again before it's all over," particularly in swing states, Castro said.
Democratic operative Gilberto Ocañas of San Antonio, a veteran of many national campaigns and mentor to the Castros, said the brothers are a rare breed, "people who are smart but have this really grassroots substance to them."
The "incredibly-disciplined" and sometimes "nerdy" Castro brothers are destined to achieve more, predicted Ocañas, who worked with the late voter rights advocate Willie Velásquez.
"They're so respectful of the legacy of the leadership of the past, and the struggles. Whether or not Rosie wants to take credit, it's something that's embedded in them. It's in their DNA," Ocañas said.
The Castros are basking in the moment, he added.
"They're all sensing that this is Julián's time ... Rosie is not necessarily enamored to be in the spotlight — it's about the kids, not about her," Ocañas said.
And when the spotlight moves away, Joaquín and his brother will be challenged not just by this year's political missions but by many long-running hometown issues, he said. "We still have low income, crime, high dropout rate, high teen pregnancy, and we need higher paying jobs," Ocañas said.
And from a national Democratic perspective, San Antonio remains "a low-income, low-turnout city," he said. "If San Antonio is going to increase in influence, it also has to show that it can turn out the vote."

Denman Maroney Quintet – Udentity (CF 137)
In this fascinating 2009 release, leader Denman Maroney morphs the avant-garde implications of hyperpiano fare into a semi-structured progressive jazz endeavor with tunes that are largely melodic and uncannily attainable. The artist derives influence from avant-garde composers John Cage and Henry Cowell, who used nuts, bolts and other implements to perform on the piano via unconventional methodologies.
Maroney finds ways to exploit the piano's mechanics by bowing, plucking and sliding on the strings with bowls, knives and other miscellany. His bizarre sounds intersect the jazz element without any clashes or train wrecks. Nonetheless, Maroney is a modernist who often straddles the free-form improvisational schema with many of the jazz world's finest instrumentalists.
The quintet executes an odd-metered jazz-funk motif during the opening "Udentity I," showing that the band aims to maintain an angular discourse amid subtle deviations and surprises along the way. Consequently, the musicians spawn a frothy sequence of movements, complete with winding themes and reverse engineering ventures. That factor is a pattern throughout, as Maroney slips, slides and intersects among the soloists' exchanges and solo spots, while bassist Reuben Radding generates the pliant undercurrent.
Maroney is a cunning stylist and a strong composer within the progressive jazz idiom. "Udentity II" has a close relationship with John Coltrane's classic "Blue Train" via a similar melody line, although the ensemble veers it off into a free-jazz meltdown, enhanced by Maroney's slithery piano-string manipulations. Elsewhere, the pianist renders whirlwind interludes with his swirling chord progressions while projecting a rather illusionary mindset.
A few passages are built on dainty themes and unorthodox frameworks, in concert with trumpeter Dave Ballou and multi-reedman Ned Rothenberg's yearning lines. This facet works wonders on "Udentity V," as Maroney presents an off-kilter and fragmented muse to traditional jazz, nicely accented by Michael Sarin's syncopated drum solo.
This is a formidable and rather enterprising slant on avant-jazz. Maroney merges the best of many musical worlds by seamlessly cross-referencing solid compositional platforms with improvisation and out-of-this-world hyperpiano articulations. It's a masterful album, abetted by the leader's ubiquitous implementations and forward-thinking impetus.

MUKILTEO — Marko Liias has two jobs. One is state senator. Another is policy analyst for the city of Mukilteo, where he works with his longtime friend and the city's mayor, Jennifer Gregerson.
Questions about his dual jobs have swirled since Liias was selected for the city job in May. His hiring is scheduled to be discussed again at Monday's City Council meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.
Some residents and council members wonder about potential conflicts between Liias' city and state government jobs. His role as a state senator from the 21st District will require him to leave his city post for about three months a year to represent the Mukilteo area in Olympia.
City Council President Randy Lord said he told the mayor last month that he would give her 30 days to consider her options, including asking Liias to resign.
"We know the mayor has the right to hire," Lord said. "At the same time, we set policy. I'm trying to look and see if (Liias' appointment) is best for the city of Mukilteo."
Gregerson said she has no plans to ask Liias to resign.
"Monday is a chance for council to continue to get their questions answered," she said.
Gregerson said the council confirms some department heads and directors, but no positions below department directors.
"I think Marko is the best candidate for that position," she said. "He's qualified. He has the educational background. He knows Mukilteo well. He's doing a good job in that role."
Lord said he has no quibble with Liias, who is a former council member himself.
"Personally, I like the guy," he said.
Lord said he thinks that Liias could do a good job either as the city's policy analyst or representing the 21st District as its state senator — but not doing both.
Being a state senator means campaigning for office, in addition to serving in Olympia during legislative sessions, Lord said.
The city's policy analyst job is a full-time position, Lord said. "I believe the citizens want us to pay for a policy analyst, not for a campaign."
Liias said that being a member of the Legislature is considered part-time work, and many have jobs outside state government — in education, law and other fields that are affected by legislation.
Liias' city duties include producing the city's newsletter, responding to questions from the public, overseeing the city's grants, keeping tabs on garbage, cable and gas contracts, and advising the mayor and department heads.
Liias said he will take unpaid leave when the Legislature is in session. He estimates the salary he will make this year for his city job, which started in May, will be $39,187. Next year, it will be $46,113, he said. He is paid $42,106 as a state senator.
Liias said he feels his background, which includes a bachelor's degree in foreign service from Georgetown University and graduate courses at the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Affairs, are good qualifications.
But some wonder if his friendship with the mayor was nonetheless a factor, introducing an undercurrent of politics to his hiring. Christine Schmalz, wife of Councilman Steve Schmalz, who ran for mayor last year, has called the hiring "cronyism at its finest."
Liias served on the City Council with Gregerson. "It's a small community," Liias said. "It's not a surprise that we all know each other. I'm happy to call her a friend."
The city always has critics, Liias added. "I do think there are a set of people out there who are questioning every decision that the city makes."
Gregerson said that the policy analyst job came about as part of a reorganization of city government. That included eliminating the job of city manager. The job of assistant to the city administrator was changed to create the policy analyst position, she said.
Administrative changes recommended by an outside consulting company included creating a management services director in lieu of the city manager's job, creating a human resources manager job, and creating a third job that was part policy analysis and part city communications, Gregerson said.
The job description for the policy analyst was written in April. The job opening was posted on the city's website, at the UW's Evans School of Public Affairs and at the Association of Washington Cities, Gregerson said.
Fifteen people applied. A human relations manager in the Mukilteo School District did an initial review of applications. Gregerson said she wasn't involved in the hiring process until the final candidates were selected.
Gregerson thinks that the city will be able to handle Liias' absence during the legislative sessions, with other members of the executive team filling in his duties. The money saved during that time helped pay for the city's human resources manager job, she said.
A city attorney who deals with labor and personnel issues has been asked to be at Monday's meeting.
Lord said he asked for the item to be put on Monday's agenda so the City Council could come to some conclusion on the issue.
"We don't want to do anything rash, but we want to understand what it is we can do," Lord said.
Sharon Salyer: 425-339-3486; firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Mukilteo City Council is scheduled to discuss the hiring of Marko Liias as the city's policy analyst during a meeting scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Monday. The council meetings are at 11930 Cyrus Way in Mukilteo.

A versatile horizontal navigation bar with rounded corners.
The navigation has hover and active states as well as a hover-over sub-navigation. The whole thing is styled in blue (just because I like blue!), but the colour comes entirely from the style on each layer and all elements are fully customisable shapes, so experiment with whatever colours suit your needs.
Includes HTML and CSS demo with the jQuery suckerfish technique, which is tested and fully functioning in all major browsers (even IE6!).
The font used throughout is good ol' MS Arial (although I did also use Freestyle Script for the annotation).
Canvas Size: 1200×800
Actual Navigation Size: 960×45 (fits perfectly with the 960 grid system)
Made in Photoshop CS4 but saved in 'Maximize Compatibility' mode for anyone with an older version.

Tankless water heaters
Are they a good deal?
Tankless water heaters offer the promise of hot water on demand, but electric co-ops are concerned about the impact their use might have on electricity demand during peak usage periods. Tankless water heaters can ratchet up the demand for electricity, particularly during peak usage hours when people are bathing or doing laundry, for example. And co-ops that buy power wholesale can face higher wholesale rates during peak demand times.
Whole-house versions can contain up to four 7,000-watt elements, which can consume substantially more energy than the two 4.5-kilowatt elements found in the electric water heaters used by many consumers.
Also, the cost of purchasing, installing and maintaining a tankless heater may outweigh their modest energy savings.
"Tankless water heaters are pretty popular in Europe and in some Asian countries, but we're beginning to see them advertised more in the United States," said Brian Sloboda, a program manager at NRECA's Cooperative Research Network.
In most cases, there is a need to upgrade electrical systems to handle their load, as well as limitations on their ability to provide continuous supplies of hot water simultaneously for different needs.
It is not realistic to expect unlimited supplies of hot water from tankless heaters, Sloboda said, adding that the tankless models can't match the 50-gallon to 80-gallon reserve in a traditional water heater tank. "If someone is taking a shower and someone else is using the kitchen sink or washing clothes, someone is going to be unhappy," he said.
In some areas, electric utilities charge premiums for peak-time power demand. A tankless water heater running during that period could have a hefty effect on a consumer's bill.

Appeal of the Year
Any Question? Parts I-III (see posts on November 21, December 16 and 27, 2010).
Trial of the YearMy client sought to invalidate a grant deed purporting to remove his mother's house from her trust and granting it to his sister. The effect of this deed would have been to disinherit my client, since his mother had passed away and his sister sought to evict him from that house. I was able to show that the mother did not intend to give the property to her daughter outright. In invalidating the grant deed to the sister/daughter, the court relied upon testimony and documents of the daughter's prior attorney to the effect that the daughter knew (and acted like) the property was owned by the trust, notwithstanding the new grant deed to her. I was able to overcome the attorney-client privilege, in part, because the daughter sued her attorney and attached various documents to her court-filed documents in that prior action, which I obtained and used in my case.

N° 64–2004: ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori to fly to the ISS on Italian Soyuz mission ENEIDE
10 December 2004
Roberto Vittori will be the next ESA astronaut to fly to the International Space Station, on the 10-day Italian Soyuz mission, scheduled to be launched on 15 April next year from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The mission is called ENEIDE and takes its name from the epic tale written by the Latin poet Virgil in the 1st century BC. This story tells of the journey of Aeneas from Troy to Italy and the foundation of Rome.
N° 64-2004 – Paris, 10 December 2004 Vittori is a member of ESA's European Astronaut Corps and also an active Italian Air Force pilot. He is scheduled to take off on flight 10S to the ISS as flight engineer on board the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft alongside the Soyuz Commander and Roskosmos cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and NASA astronaut John Phillips. The main objectives of the mission are: for the ESA astronaut to perform a full experimental programme of major scientific interest and valuable international cooperation on board the ISS; to exchange the station lifeboat, Soyuz TMA-5, for Soyuz TMA-6; and to exchange the current ISS Expedition 10 crew (Leroy Chiao and Salizhan Sharipov) for the ISS Expedition 11 crew (Krikalev and Phillips).
As flight engineer on both the ascent phase and the return journey, Vittori will take an active role in piloting and docking the spacecraft. Seven European astronauts have flown to and worked on the ISS so far though this is the first time that a European astronaut will be on his second mission to the ISS. From 25 April to 5 May 2002 Vittori took part in the Marco Polo mission. This will also be the first time that four of the five ISS partners, the ESA Member States known as the "European Partner", Russia, the United States and Canada, have taken part in a Soyuz mission to the ISS, since the backup astronaut for Roberto Vittori is Robert Thirsk from the Canadian Space Agency (Canada is an ESA Cooperating State).
The Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft will remain docked with the ISS for six months to act as an emergency return vehicle for the ISS Expedition 11 crew. For Vittori's return journey in Soyuz TMA-5, he will be accompanied by the current ISS crew, Leroy Chiao, Expedition 10 Commander, and Salizhan Sharipov, Expedition 10 Flight Engineer. Soyuz TMA-5 is the spacecraft which carried the Expedition 10 crew to the ISS in October. Sergei Krikalev will take over from Leroy Chiao as ISS Commander and John Phillips from Salizhan Sharipov as ISS Flight Engineer.
ENEIDE, an ESA mission, is co-sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Defence and the Lazio Region, with the support of Finmeccanica, FILAS and the Rome Chamber of Commerce (CCIAA). Many of the experiments are being developed by Italian researchers and built by Italian industry and research institutions.
"I am pleased to see this mission taking shape with such a great degree of international involvement", said Daniel Sacotte, ESA's Director of Human Spaceflight, Microgravity and Exploration Programmes, "ENEIDE, as with all human spaceflight missions, will benefit many areas of life and further expand the experience of the European Astronaut Corps. This will help us on the road to further human exploration of our solar system".

The service was great from beginning to end. The test kit arrived quickly and was easy to use, the instructions were clear and simple to follow and my results were available sooner than I expected. Thanks everyone!
This should be the most common thing people do.
Great company, easy to read results. Well worth it. The cost is an investment
First time using a service like this looked at reviews previously before purchasing, happy to see the five stars reviews are reflective of the service. The kit arrived the next day after ordering I waited till the Monday to do the sample sent it off Monday AM and had the results back Tuesday PM. Wow what a quick service! Follow the tips about doing the blood sample and you shouldn't have any issues, I found I only needed one lancet and the blood flowed freely after a hot shower and running my hands under warm water. I will definitely be using this service again as I got some surprising results which I'd like to see improve.
This was a really simple and quick process. I ordered the test kit, it arrived 2 days later. I did my blood test a few days later and put it straight in the post. My results were with me 3 days later. Brilliant. The dashboard is very well presented and gave me a clear view of each marker. I'm not happy with all the results, but that's not Forth with Life's fault. That's down to my own body!
Very fast service, a fair cost, comprehensive results and an unexpectedly lengthy comment from a Dr about the findings.
I'll definitely be ordering again on a regular basis to keep an eye on things.
The kindest customer service I have ever experienced. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for these products.
Thank You so much for your prompt responses and helping me with my order.
Much appreciated.
As a working mum, I often find myself training 'tired' as the demands of day-to-day life take their toll. Forth has enabled me to gain a valuable insight into what is happening 'under the surface', so I can adapt my training and lifestyle.
As a former Olympic cyclist I always wanted to look after my health. This has never changed to this day but become a lot easier via Forth, it's the only way to really understand your own body.
Really fast and reliable results.So easy to use! Have used them3 times now and will continueto use this company, amazing.
I enlisted the help of Forth to help me get to the bottom of my current health concerns. The test was really easy to and my results were available within day. Using Forth has helped me take the action needed to get my hormones back on track.
Forthwithlife are just so helpful - professional and extremely easy to deal with. I would highly recommend these guys and would literally never look anywhere Else. Superb company.
I'd put off getting regular blood tests before because of the long-winded process of a GP visit. Forth has changed all that. The process is very quick and very easy, with thorough, well-explained results delivered to your inbox within days.
Fast easy service putting my mind at rest quickly. Sent off sample on Monday, got results back Tuesday afternoon.
An excellent service, I got fast replies to my enquires and immediate practical solutions. I needed my results quickly after being unable to get samples on my first attempt and Forth found a resolution for me and assisted at each stage. Really great communication from individuals who have the knowledge and ability to sort things out. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Wasn't feeling quite right and believed I may be chronically stressed. Took the baseline plus option which is a wider range of tests and this confirmed by expectations and also highlighted two further issues which I've raised with my GP. Well worth the piece of mind.
Any questions I had, I emailed to the email contact and I was answered within hours. I was really impressed with the level of service and manner of response. I believe the product is very good quality and plan to utilize more of the products in the future. The process is very simple and reliable!
I suffer from a hereditary condition which causes my body to store too much iron. My biggest issue before using Forth was getting an appointment with my GP. Now using Forth I can track my iron quickly and easily and take action before levels start to affect my health
Efficient, great communication and information. Very fast, next day turnaround. Very, very pleased. Highly recommended and best value I have found.
Really excellent service - we bought two 'vitality' tests after reading about Forth With Life in Natural Health magazine. The packs came quickly, the phlebotomy appointment at home was convenient and professional and the results were quick and insightful- I recommend without reservation to anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of biomarkers indicative of their health and wellness!
Quick delivery and clear instructions - I sent the samples off on Thursday and received the results on Saturday. The information on each statistic was clear, and the recommendations helpful. Will definitely be following up in half a year!

MIT can help rebuild Haiti by sharing its expertise in engineering and urban planning, providing technical training in areas like database management and wireless technology and building relationships with universities in Haiti, Frantz Verella, Haiti's former minister of Public Works, Transport and Communications, told the MIT community at a presentation on Friday.
Joined by Patrick Delatour, Chairman of the Presidential Commission for Reconstruction and the Minister of Tourism, Verella spoke about actions taken by the Haitian government since January's devastating earthquake, as well as the government's vision for reconstruction over the next 20 years. Titled "Haiti: the Plan for Reconstruction," the presentation was the first of several forums to be sponsored by MIT's Committee on Race and Diversity over the next year.
"With issues of race and diversity, there is no better topic to begin with," said J. Phillip Thompson, co-chair of the committee and professor in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, explaining why the committee's first forum was focused on Haiti, where an estimated 300,000 people have died, and where 300,000 have been wounded and 1.3 million left homeless as a result of the earthquake.
Delatour said that although Port-au-Prince will remain the capital city, the reconstruction effort calls for decentralizing Haiti by populating smaller regional areas that will be connected by a national transportation network. The goal, Delatour explained, is for Haiti to emerge by 2030 "with an economy that is modern, dynamic and competitive." One way of doing that is to make tourism a top priority for economic recovery, he said. In the short term, the government plans to rebuild devastated zones and decongest settlement areas, and in the long term, it plans to provide resources like hospitals, schools and post offices in regional areas outside Port-au-Prince.
Verella, an economist, engineer and former dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Haiti, explained that Haiti's extreme vulnerability to natural disaster was compounded by a weak, corrupt state. He said that rebuilding efforts will focus specifically on areas that are less prone to natural disaster.
"We cannot in Haiti afford to go back to the status quo," said Verella, joining Delatour in stressing that for Haiti to truly rebuild itself, the reconstruction cannot be led by outsiders or NGOs, but must be carried out by a stronger, better Haitian government that is guided foremost by the interests of its citizens. Still, he welcomed outside guidance, noting that MIT could play a major role by establishing a center for excellence in infrastructure and urban planning.
Co-sponsored by MIT's Haiti Coordinating Committee, the presentation was part of MIT's ongoing effort to provide short- and long-term relief to the devastated country. As MIT News reported in March, two Media Lab students, Greg Elliott and Aaron Zinman, have developed Konbit, a free interactive communication platform that helps communities rebuild after a crisis by indexing the skills of local residents so that NGOs can quickly find and employ them. Konbit allows Haitians, their diaspora and the international community to report their skills by phone, text message or web.
Since March, the beta version of the site has gone live, and Elliott and Zinman have partnered with telecommunications provider Digicel, have an agreement with Google, and are in talks with the U.N. Development Program to continue developing the social infrastructure for platform. They are currently searching for 100 volunteers to test Konbit, which is designed so that messages in native Creole can be translated by volunteer Haitians and then transcribed into a searchable database for NGOs. After the volunteer phase, Elliott and Zinman will conduct a short ethnographic study of Konbit involving Haitian students to examine interaction patterns and user experience before deploying the final system.

The next chapter in the fan-favourite Dynasty Warriors 7 continues with the release of 'Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires' on the 22nd of February 2013. This title is being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.
Taking the focus away from the historical figures that roamed the battlefields of the Three Kingdoms of China, 'Empires' emphasises on a different kind of hero: the player.
Combining thrilling battlefield action with strategic gameplay, 'Empires' gives each player the opportunity to influence the way history unfolds: gain fame in battle and rule their own nation as a 'Ruler', use strategy to seize power and invade neighbouring territories as a 'Strategist' or become a mercenary and sell their services around the land as a 'Free Officer'. Through actions such as earning fame on the battlefield, protecting the people or looking to expand their own personal wealth and power, the choices made during the strategy and battle phases have an impact on the characters position and allow for an even wider variety of personalised play styles.
This high-degree of choice is accompanied by a newly revamped Edit Mode, including weapon animation, personality, facial features and more, so that players can create their own unique characters and throw them into battle.
These characters can then be shared online for others to download and incorporate in their own game. Edited characters also include their creators play history with that character, so the play style is carried over, allowing for a simulated multiplayer experience.
Keeping true to the Dynasty Warriors historical legacy, Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires introduces a new playable character, Xu Shu, an advisor of the warlord Liu Bei and bringing the total number of playable characters to 66.
As the 'Empires' series is known for its extended tactical action elements, it offers a wide variety of tactics known as Stratagems, from ones that affect the terrain (such as Flood Attacks and Rockslides), to Volleys that can rain arrows down on the enemy, or even ones that can increase characters' individual abilities. Knowing when to utilise these powerful tools based on the terrain or specific conditions, as well as knowing how to respond to stratagems used by the enemy will play an important part in the success of a battle, adding an even deeper layer of strategy to the gameplay.

I have read a lot about homemade hangers, and saw a video of someone building his own glue-in anchors, but little else on topic. I'm interested as usual in the rudest possible means to an end. I'm climbing a small dome with a small waterfall and at a point 30' up have run into really miserable conditions (mud, junky rock, water). I overheard a caver, I think Yvonne Droms, mention her recent utilization of rebar pins in similar situations. I have used rebar aid in several caves already, but always on very small climbs as hand/footholds. In a situation where a climber needs to be attached to the anchor during an upward progression, is there any way to make rebar or any similar homemade anchor "safe"? I worry about attachment issues, and about impaling oneself during a potential slip or fall.
Otherwise, are there any suggestions for climbing quickly through a vertical slop-hole? Quickly because it's a wet, cold, windy spot and I'm a thermal sissy.

Russian Cathedral in New York to be renovated
Renovation works have started at St. Nicholas Russian Patriarchal Cathedral in New York, they are to take four months.
The roof and cupolas will be capitally repaired, crosses on cupolas will be renovated, the Russian Church in the USA reports on its website.
Liturgical and parochial work of the cathedral will be changed or limited in the renovation period.
The cathedral was constructed in 1902. Nicholas II made the first contribution to the construction, it was five thousand of gold rubles. St. John of Kronstadt blessed the works and made his contribution of 200 rubles.
The church was erected for year and a half by an American building company of that time.
