Permit numbers show downtown boom
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic looks at the numbers on
construction in Blaine over the last few decade, he doesnt
see much.
Overall its been tending fairly flat, he said, looking at bar charts showing the value of new construction and building permits issued every years since 1992. Total building values range from a low of $6 million in 1996 to a spike of over $17 million in 1999. Tomsic explained that the spike in 1999 corresponded to the Port of Bellinghams reconstruction of Blaine Harbor, not to a market upswing. You can see the big years are usually big public projects, he said. There will be another spike this year with the school. Those projects really make a difference.
While the big picture is pretty bland, Tomsic said the details of building in Blaine show some interesting trends. The construction boom in Semiahmoo peaked in 1998 and is on its way down, as indicated by a dwindling number of building permits for single family homes in west Blaine. Central Blaine is doing the opposite, Tomsic said. Theres some infilling going on and thats great. In 1998 there were 28 permits issued for single family homes in Semiahmoo, and only one issued for central Blaine. The numbers have been growing closer ever since and in 2001 17 permits were issued for Semiahmoo and 14 in central Blaine.
Building in Semiahmoo still tends to be more extravagant. Even with almost the same number of permits issued, construction in Semiahmoo accounted for two thirds of construction value. Its really disproportionate, Tomsic said.
With the exception of 1993 and 1999 when commercial and residential construction values were almost even, residential activity has accounted for more than half of construction activity in Blaine over the last decade. However, commercial construction routinely made up a third of new value. I was surprised, Tomsic said. Commercial activity is more than I thought it would be.
Tomsic said new construction is only part of the picture of the growing total valuation of Blaine properties, and the market has favored the community. While new construction made up 34 percent of the growth in property values over the last decade, 66 percent came from reappraisals. .

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Former aide to Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, Kelly Rindfleisch, is reportedly being targeted in a second John Doe probe that's indirectly tied to now Governor Walker.
Rindfleisch was sentenced to six months in jail, after she struck a plea deal on charges from the first John Doe investigation.
Now, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says Rindfleisch and Eric O'Keefe of the conservative Wisconsin Club for Growth are among five people targeted in the new probe. Earlier Monday, Club for Growth filed a federal lawsuit seeking that the John Doe be dropped.
Media reports said it involves alleged illegal coordination between conservative groups and candidates in the 2011 and '12 recall elections -- including Governor Scott Walker and other Republicans.
Rindfleisch was working in Walker's Milwaukee County Executive office when she allegedly ran GOP campaign activities on taxpayers' time.
Rindfleisch is still appealing her first conviction. She wanted thousands of e-mails and other documents kept secret -- but a judge ruled last week that they must be released.
Rindfleisch is not appealing that order. She was given 30 days to ask that individual e-mails remain sealed. Her lawyer rejected the offer, saying the time period is too short.

Each June, Monroe celebrates its graduates with the requisite pomp and circumstance, guest speakers, well wishes, and cap tossing. But for those who graduate in December, the milestone can seem a little less dramatic. So, on December 5, the Office of Alumni Relations hosted the first-ever Strawberries and Champagne Reception for December 2012 Graduates.
At the event, graduates were welcomed by Director of Alumni Relations Leslie Jerome. Proud and smiling, she invited the students to sample champagne and to indulge in chocolate and caramel-dipped strawberries, fruit, and cookies, as a way to acknowledge their achievements.
Mrs. Jerome greeted each graduate as they entered and since they now qualify, she provided information about Monroe's Alumni Network. The Office of Career Advancement also had a presence at the event. Graduates were encouraged to pursue their dreams and were given resume and cover letter tips to help them begin their journey into the "real world."
"We want to celebrate the December graduating students, and recognize that they have reached a major milestone and honor their impressive accomplishments," explained Mrs. Jerome. "This was a way to say 'thank you' for all their hard work and to let them know that we want to stay connected so we can continue to support them even after they leave Monroe."
The event was a success and will, as Mrs. Jerome explained, only get better in the years to come.

As legislation allowing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) power to regulate tobacco products clears Congress, some tobacco experts are focusing on the potential for the agency to use its new powers to ban menthol cigarettes, Reuters reported June 17.
The legislation passed by Congress bans flavorings like chocolate and cherry, but excludes menthol-flavored cigarettes from the ban. The legislation, which is awaiting President Barack Obama's signature, calls for the FDA to examine the medical effects and marketing of menthol cigarettes and their impact on blacks, Hispanics, and other groups, with a report due back in 18 months.
Based on these considerations, the FDA could either ban menthol cigarettes completely, order them to be phased out, or not take action.
Roughly 12 million Americans smoke menthol cigarettes, including 75 percent of African American smokers. "We don't know what the public response would have been to banning a product so many people are addicted to. Do they switch to another product? Get it another way?" said Paul Billings of the American Lung Association.
"I am pessimistic that menthol will be banned," said Joel Nitzkin, chair of the American Association of Public Health Physicians Tobacco Control Task Force. Nitzkin opposed the FDA bill.
Lorillard, the leading menthol cigarette manufacturer, is concerned about a potential menthol ban. "We hope the FDA will solicit and consider input and comments from industry participants," said Lorillard spokesman Michael Robinson.

A staggering 40 million euro ($53 million) worth of diamonds and other jewels was stolen Sunday from the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes, in one of Europe's biggest jewelry heists in recent years, police said. One expert noted the crime follows recent jail escapes by members of the notorious "Pink Panther" jewel thief gang.
The hotel in the sweltering French Riviera was hosting a temporary jewelry exhibit over the summer from the prestigious Leviev diamond house, which is owned by Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev.
A police spokesman said the theft took place around noon, but he could not confirm local media reports that the robber was a single gunman who stuffed a suitcase with the gems before making a swift exit. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record.
The luxury Carlton hotel featured prominently in Alfred Hitchcok's "To Catch a Thief," which starred Cary Grant as a reformed burglar chasing a jewel thief. It is situated on the exclusive Promenade de la Croisette that stretches a mile and a half (2.4 kilometers) along the French Riviera, and is thronged by the rich and famous throughout the year. The hotel's position provides not only a beautiful view of the sea but also an easy getaway for potential jewel thieves along the long stretch of road.
"It's a huge theft. Anytime you talk about a heist with many millions of dollars it turns heads and feeds the imagination," said Jonathan Sazonoff, U.S. editor for the Museum Security Network website and an authority on high-value crime.

By Glenn Selk, Oklahoma State University Extension Cattle Reproduction Specialist
Many Oklahoma ranchers choose to breed the replacement heifers about a month ahead of the mature cows in the herd. In addition, they like to use a shortened 45 to 60-day breeding season for the replacement heifers. The next logical step is to determine which of these heifers failed to conceive in their first breeding season. This is more important today than ever before.
As the bulls are being removed from the replacement heifers, this would be an ideal time to call and make arrangements with your local veterinarian to have those heifers evaluated for pregnancy in about 60 days. In two months, experienced palpaters should have no difficulty identifying which heifers are pregnant and which heifers are not pregnant (open). Those heifers that are determined to be "open" after this breeding season, should be strong candidates for culling. Culling these heifers immediately after pregnancy checking serves three very economically valuable purposes.
The average expense for owning the cow is about $1 per day. So the total loss of keeping the open heifer would be about $200 in feed and forage and another $91 in lost value. The grand total expense for not culling open replacement heifers in today's market is about $291 per head. Therefore, it is imperative to send open cull heifers to the feedlot while they are young enough to be fed for 4 to 5 months and not be near the "B" maturity age group.
Certainly the percentage of open heifers will vary from ranch to ranch. Do not be concerned, if after a good heifer development program and adequate breeding season, that you find that 10% of the heifers still are not bred. These are the very heifers that you want to identify early and remove from the herd. It just makes good economic business sense to identify and cull non-pregnant replacement heifers as soon as possible.

Grandpa Rex passed away on May 21st 2014 many of you were all very supportive when I mentioned this in the Ranting selection and how I spoke
him in random too. Today as I bought a card for my Father I knew something was missing it was a card for Grandpa Rex that I bought for him yearly for Father's Day though probably not a tradition thing to do I did it every year. Tomorrow's Father's Day and today I am remembering missing my Grandpa.

Changing Our Culture, One Word at a Time: The Redefining of America
Do you remember when the word "Christian" simply meant a follower of Jesus Christ? Today a Christian is anybody who isn't a Muslim or a Jew. In addition, if we as Christians dare to espouse standards or values that would make necessary our saying "no" to something, then we are called radical and violent Christians.
Do you remember when a "fundamentalist" was a person who believed and followed the literal teachings of their faith? Today's definition is a person who takes their religion so literally and to such extremes that they contradict the very basis of their faith.
Does anybody remember when "gay" meant simply to be happy?
Do you remember when a "progressive" was a person who favored improvement of the human condition, specifically via technological innovation and development? Today the word "progressive" is used as a more acceptable pseudonym for "liberal."
And there was a time when "conserve" was just a common-sense way of life that meant making the best use of all that you have; waste not, want not. Today the terms "conserve" and "conservation" have an earth-worshipping connotation. We are told that man is the enemy of all nature and that we waste and are the destroyers…. that we are not even worthy of making use of any of our natural resources. These culture Nazis are oblivious to the fact that Creation is God's gift to Man (Genesis 1: 27-31).
But Google's definition for "fascism" is the fire that lit my dynamite today. Type "define fascism" in the Google search box and this is what you will get:
If you need more proof, go to Google and type "fascism" for yourself; here is the screen shot:
Compare Google's definition to the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
fas·cism noun \ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-\
1Definition of FASCISM
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality — J. W. Aldridge>
Examples of FASCISM
- the rise of Fascism in Europe before World War II
- From the first hours of Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, the propagandists on both sides of the conflict portrayed the struggle in stark, Manichaean language. The totalitarian nature of both regimes made this inevitable. On one side stood Hitler, fascism, the myth of German supremacy; on the other side stood Stalin, communism, and the international proletarian revolution. —Anne Applebaum, New York Review of Books, 25 Oct. 2007
Do you find this to be as shocking and offensive as I do? Sadly, this is totally believable. My son was in high school in the early 90s here in Georgia. One afternoon he came home extolling the virtues of Hitler. Shortly thereafter, he brought home a paper from school talking about political groups– and the Right was represented as "skinheads", "Arian nation" etc. However, the far Left was not typified by anything distasteful, intolerant, or violent. I was stunned and promptly called the school and asked for a conference with his government teacher. When I arrived for my conference, I was ushered into the principal's office; the door was closed, and there sat the principal, the government teacher, and 2 other adults– all of them waiting for me. Can you say "Intimidation Tactics"?
This is the education that our tax money is paying for and is also one of the reasons my grandchildren are educated at home.
Words are being redefined, values are being blurred, standards are being shaken, and our Constitution is being trampled by those who have sworn to uphold it. It is time for every American to become a staunch, vigilant, and active Patriot. Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."
Stand Up, fellow Patriots; tell everybody you see what you already know. Be brave and bold; America and our freedom depend upon you.

Great article! I cannot agree more. I have been called a Nazi and a Fascist because of my affiliation with the Tea party. He is a leader of the democratic party in Dahlonega Democratic Party who claims that his degree is in history. I posted the definition for him and asked him if, in his studies of history, they covered 20th century history. I asked him if history would give him any clue to the nature of Facism. He shut up but insists that he would be more comfortable if government ran the country.
I am curious how your match with the principal and educator with their two (liberal, no doubt) buddies went. Surely you didn't succumb to the intimidation and spoke you mind as eloquently as you did in this article?
October 16, 2012 at 3:36 pm
No, I did not fold; neither did I change their minds. My son did not finish school there; he chose to finish in night school and graduated that way instead.

You know the fact is we have no one to blame but ourselves. Mao, Marx, Stalin and ol Adolf all have written the same thing, and Mr O has penned his own version.
The end of America has always been a single generation away, that generation is now adults. We had a choice and, we have a choice now and we continue to lack the courage to act, Conformity, Complacency or what it really is, cowardice.
We all know what the problem is, and we all know what the solution is.
October 16, 2012 at 3:33 pm
You are absolutely correct, Bob; conservatives compromising a little here and a smidgen there is precisely what has brought us to this place. John Adams would never have permitted even a millimeter of compromise w/ the lefties.
October 16, 2012 at 3:16 pm
One of our PolitiChicks fans pointed out the 'fascism' definition to us–thank you for writing about it, Abigail, great work!
October 16, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Thank you, Ann-Marie.
October 16, 2012 at 3:22 pm
A truly outstanding and insightful article. I've been griping about how the Left uses language to make its views palatable. Lefties have somehow cast themselves as the Compassionate Ones and us as mean-spirited and selfish when that is the exact opposite of reality. Thank you, Abigail. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.
October 16, 2012 at 3:52 pm
I have come to see that those who cry intolerance the loudest are themselves the most intolerant, and that defines today's liberal very accurately. In order to make their viewpoint tolerable to the general public, they must rewrite history, brand perspectives other than their own as unacceptable and hide, distort or discount facts. They simply cannot support their views and arguments any other way. For too long, the "average" citizen has lived believing that this extreme viewpoint could never win the day in this country, and too many still cannot accept how easily these extreme lefties will lie and manipulate to achieve their ends. I hope and pray that enough people will open their eyes and exercise the power of the ballot while they still have it.
October 16, 2012 at 3:53 pm
Today, we are more of a Socialist nation than a Democracy because so many demand so much from the government which results in more and more entitlement programs expanding the size of government while increasing our national debt. today, we have a majority in congress who are politicians and not statesman. John Adams-Diary-Feb. 9, 1772. "A statesman would not compromise his principles. A politician would compromise his principles in order to advance his own interest." socialist advocate controlled elections, controlled media, controlled education, elimination of free speech, disarmament of the population and fiat currency. Sound familiar? Just how close are we to being the United States Socialist Republic? The truly sad thing is the majority of citizens are helping to bring this to a reality.
October 16, 2012 at 4:02 pm
Absolutely correct,Bob. We have become a Nation of takers, and freeloaders. Give me free stuff, and Obama, has no problem with that mindset. We drift into this situation, when our educators, promote that mentality, and tell students, they have a right to free stuff. America, did not fight the wars we fought, to lay down and become a nation of freeloaders. First step. Get Obama out of here.
October 16, 2012 at 4:31 pm
Dear Ms. Abigail Adams thank for your editorial. I DO stand up and take notice, I also am VERY verbal in my opinions about the liberal, progressive, anti-American, anti-Consitutional, anti everything (except MOI) members of our US society. In fact, I have removed all them from my social gatherings, they are no longer welcome/invited to my home, social gatherings, and/or Christmas parties (oh, my God…NOT a CHRISTMAS party!). The only way to handle these LOOSERS is to call them out…point blank, be aggressive, rude, and the first to let them know THEY are THE PROBLEM and they are the ones with the problem. I grew weary to make a pretense of politeness, the time for that has long drawn nigh. Now it is time to lower ourselves to their level, to be mean and demeaning just like they comport themselves. The left / progressive has mistakenly misjudged the polite, conservative demeanor as a weakness for which they can work to their own devices. Sadly, this has become a social and cultural war of vast importance in our nation…and if it is not one yet…, it shall be one soon.

Here is an essay version of my class notes from Class 15 of CS183: Startup. Errors and omissions are mine.
Four guests joined the class for a conversation after the lecture:
- Danielle Fong, Co-founder and Chief Scientist of LightSail Energy;
- Jon Hollander, Business Development at RoboteX;
- Greg Smirin, COO of The Climate Corporation; and
- Scott Nolan, Principal at Founders Fund and former aerospace engineer at SpaceX (Elon Musk was going to come, but he was busy launching rockets).
Credit for good stuff goes to them and Peter. I have tried to be accurate. But note that this is not a transcript of the conversation.
Class 15 Notes Essay—Back to the Future
I. The Future of The Past
Sometimes the best way to think about the future is to think about the way the future used to be. In the mid-20th century, it was still possible to talk about a future where the weather would be precisely predicted or even controlled. Maybe someone would figure out how to predict tornadoes. Or maybe cloud seeding would work. Transportation was the same way; people expected flying cars and civilian submarines. Robotics was yet another exciting frontier that people thought would be big.
But fast-forward to the present. Things haven't really worked out as people thought they would in the '50s and '60s. Weather still kind of just happens to us. People have pretty much accepted that as inevitable. The prevailing sense is that trying to control the weather is dangerous, and we shouldn't tinker too much with it. Transportation has been similarly disappointing. Forget flying cars—we're still sitting in traffic. There has been some progress in robotics. But certainly not as much as everybody expected. We wanted the General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot from Lost in Space. Instead we got the Roomba vacuum cleaner.

1. Specialist inspectors might be involved in an investigation either as part of the investigation team (albeit with specialist knowledge) or as an independent expert witness. The specialist knowledge of inspectors involved in an investigation may allow them to be treated as an expert witness in the event of a prosecution. The courts have held that the fact that an expert may be employed by one of the parties to litigation or the investigating authority would not debar him/her from giving expert evidence 1. The same principle applies to inspectors acting as experts in HSE prosecutions.
2. However, the roles of investigator and expert witness are usually mutually exclusive, and a specialist inspector will rarely be appointed as an independent expert if s/he is directly involved in the investigation. The decision as to whether an 'independent expert' is required, and who it should be, rests with the person responsible for managing the investigation or prosecution on behalf of HSE, not the specialist.
3. Whilst a specialist inspector may advise the investigator(s) on the gathering of evidence, such as questions to put to witnesses or to a suspect, if a specialist has been appointed (or is intending) to act as a potential expert, s/he should remain independent of the investigation and should be seen to do so: s/he should generally not take statements as part of the investigation or attend an interview of a suspect under caution (PACE interview).If a specialist inspector (who is not to act as an expert) attends a PACE interview, the fact of their specialist expertise should be disclosed.
4. Expert witnesses enjoy three privileges over ordinary witnesses of fact:
5. An expert witness may give opinions to assist in resolving issues concerning matters of knowledge which can only be acquired by special training or experience 2. His/her role is to assist the court or jury on matters where their ordinary, everyday experience does not enable them to adequately consider the issues in the case 3. It is for the court to decide whether a witness is properly qualified to give an expert opinion 4 and whether his/her opinion evidence is admissible as an expert opinion 5.
6. The facts on which the expert's opinions are based must be either admitted or proved by admissible evidence. Usually, such facts are established by other witnesses but they may include facts observed by the expert him/herself.
7. An expert's opinion must be objective and unbiased. Although a defendant will be entitled to call their own expert evidence it is the duty of an expert witness instructed by the prosecution (and indeed an expert witness called by any defendant) in a criminal case to act in the cause of justice. An expert's duty to the court overrides any obligation to the party instructing him/her and s/he must assist the court by giving objective, unbiased opinion 6 whilst complying with the rules of evidence. The expert must inform all parties and the court if his/her opinion changes from that contained in a report or statement served in evidence.
8. The responsibilities in relation to expert evidence are shared between the expert and the prosecutor, but it is the prosecutor who has overall responsibility for the case; the expert is expected to assist with that task.
9. The duties and responsibilities of expert witnesses in criminal cases include the following:-
10. Experts who are civil servants must also carry out their duties in accordance with the Civil Service Code and its core values of integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. The Code reinforces the standards expected of all experts by the courts.
11. It is the responsibility of the person managing the investigation to manage the use of specialists, deciding how they should be used and ensuring that experts remain independent. There is guidance in the Use of Specialists – Specialist Assistance Procedure (in Operational Procedures).
12. Any correspondence with an expert pertaining to his/her instructions will be disclosable and the defence will be entitled to see it. Whilst instructions to an expert explaining what is being asked of him/her will normally be recorded in formal correspondence (and see also the section 'The report' paragraph 6), the defence will also be entitled to see any "informal" correspondence. For further guidance, see the paragraphs on expert evidence in the section 'Approach to common categories of material' in [Disclosure of Unused Material].
13. When an expert witness is instructed, it is important that s/he understand what is required of him/her. The expert should be referred to this chapter of the Enforcement Guide and also the section on disclosure mentioned above. The expert must fully understand that s/he has an overriding duty to assist the court and should not feel prevented from providing information that might prove detrimental to the prosecution case. In order to meet that overriding duty, s/he is under an obligation to assist the prosecution with the statutory requirements relating to disclosure. The expert should be reminded of this obligation, which takes precedence over any internal codes of practice or other standards set by professional organisations.
14. Those instructing an expert will need to think carefully about what information should be supplied to him/her. An expert enjoys particular privileges arising from his/her qualifications and expertise. Those privileges, in particular the ability to put opinion evidence before the jury, can be undermined if it appears that his/her opinion has been improperly influenced. Any material provided to the expert should be listed in the original and any subsequent instructions. The expert should not be given material (such as internal prosecution or investigation reports) which is likely to contain opinion evidence from people other than witnesses of fact or other experts. The defence is entitled to see all material provided to the expert by those instructing him/her and therefore sensitive or privileged material must not be supplied.
15. Experts should not be asked to conduct tests that will only favour the prosecution. The Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 requires investigators to pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry, and this means that tests that might undermine the prosecution case should also be commissioned.
16. Responsibility for directing the investigation remains with those instructing the expert. If the expert believes that further work or information is required, or if s/he changes his/her evidence, s/he should communicate this to the person managing the investigation. Discussions with experts should be recorded, as they are clearly relevant to the investigation (and disclosable), particularly any discussion in which additional information is provided to the expert.
17. When an expert report is served on another party or the court, those instructing the expert must inform him/her at once. 7
18. The court may direct that experts acting for the parties should discuss the expert issues in the proceedings and prepare a statement for the court on the matters on which they agree and disagree, giving their reasons.8 Save for the statement itself, the content of the discussion must not be referred to in court without the court's permission 9.
19. Experts should be reminded that a failure to comply with their duties or a direction of the court could have a number of adverse consequences, including the delay or halting of the prosecution case, exclusion of the expert evidence, the overturning of any conviction and criticism of the expert by the judge, which might result in referral of the expert to any relevant professional body. Such consequences might prevent him/her from acting as an expert in future.
20. If questions remain about the role or instruction of experts, advice should be sought via your legal liaison point.

Pavlova Low-profile Mat 57 62
Hardwood Floor owners BEWARE of this mat. I have now had 2 of these mats on my Bellawood hardwood floor for 6 months, at the 2 most used entrys of our home. While they still look as good as the day I purchased them, and they functioned perfectly, they have began to warp the wood underneath them. I went back to check the frontgate description and it clearly says 'safe for wood floors.' THIS IS NOT TRUE! I have since removed the mat from my wood floor and am in search of something else. Beware of this rug if you plan to use on wood floor! February 25, 2013
Pavlova Lows-profile mat I love my new Pavlova mat - it is not only beautiful but perfect for my living room and 4 dogs who use this mat to dry their feet when coming in through our dog door. We have this mat in our living room. It looks nice - not easy to find a nice looking mat for the purpose I need it for. Having it waterproof is fabulous! I would recommend this mat for any home; it really is so pretty. Love the color selection also. Thank You. June 2, 2014
looks worn I wouldn't waste the time to return this but the pattern looks off and worn. Another disppointment from Frontgate. June 3, 2014
color different I like the quality but the antique gold should be called green. It doesn't go with our gold decor. August 3, 2011
Perfect for our needs After searching long and hard, we purchased this rug to place on our hard wood floor in front of our computer. We were wearing out the finish of the floor with our desk chair, and we didn't want to put down one of those ugly mats ordinarily used in offices for floor/rug protection. This rug is sturdy yet very thin (thin enough I guess to pass a door over), and its appearance is simply lovely. Every time I walk past it I marvel at its beauty. It compliments all my furnishings, and I'm seriously considering buying another one for a different area (at least in a different color). Thank you, Frontgate, for providing sturdy yet lovely products. L. Burns March 13, 2011
Perfect! I've had two of these for at least a year. They have proven to be durable and easy to clean. I just bought one for my Mom and she can glide right over it with her walker and still have something inside her door to trap dirt. April 5, 2013
I don't know yet! The cream mat has an end where there is no cream covering so it has the black on one of the ends. Then the smell is very stong. I have not even brought them in the house yet to use because the odor is terribly strong. I've had them outside for over a week now and still no difference on that. Smells like tires. Thank-you for asking. March 10, 2011
Lovely mat From the picture, this mat appeared to be silky and velvety, giving it a depth and tonality, which is what I was hoping for, but of course pictures are usually deceiving! However, I was very happy to see that in fact it was exactly as shown. It has the look of fancy Jacquard or velvet fabric, but has the rugged durability and no-fuss ability to be cleaned. Makes a great entry door mat! However, do not expect it to absorb tons and tons of water/snow, etc. Other than that, it's wonderful! January 21, 2014

Hey there. I'm having the same exact issue that 'mester' had here. Some accented characters render as '?' in Morsels. I'm interested in getting the patch that you gave him. Here's my setup:
Template Morsels Module: v1.5.4
ExpressionEngine: v2.2.2
Module list / Extension list
Here's a snippet of code from my template morsel that ins't working.
<select id="find-country" name="country" class="styled">
{exp:switchee variable = "{current_site}" parse="inward"}
{case value="1"}
<option value="">Choose a country…</option>
<option value="US">United States</option>
<option value="CA">Canada</option>
<option value="">----------</option>
{!-- Omitted cases 2 through 8 --}
{case value="9"}
<option value="">البلد</option>
<option value="US">United States</option>
<option value="CA">Canada</option>
<option value="">----------</option>
{case value="10"}
<option value="">国家</option>
<option value="US">United States</option>
<option value="CA">Canada</option>
<option value="">----------</option>
The above code lets the user select which country they're in. We're using MSM to power twelve different versions of this site, each having their own language. The site in case 9 is Arabic and the site in case 10 is Chinese.
The first select option for each of these cases is a text label that instructs the user to select a country in the appropriate language. However, after updating and refreshing the template morsel, all Arabic and Chinese characters get turned into "?" characters. I expect the template to preserve these characters, but it does not.
I receive no errors when updating or refreshing.
It looks like you've created a patch for this before, so I'm requesting access to the patch (or, better yet, a permanent fix in the form of a new Template Morsels release). Thanks!
That patch might have already been integrated in the latest version of Template Morsels (the 1.5.3 changes seem to hint at that).
Have you tried a test morsel with only non-alphabet characters (no tag/variables) in it (for example just a morsel with "国家")? Do you also get ??? there?
Have you also had a look at your database's collation/character set? Are all tables set to UTF-8/Unicode?
I tried making another morsel with just some Chinese characters in it, and it still failed and printed out the "??" instead. After changing the encoding for the code/morsel rows (in the exp_template_morsels_cache table) to UTF-8, the Chinese/Arabic text was preserved.
Thanks for the quick reply, Nicolas.
My pleasure, non-alphabet characters/encodings in EE is a bit my thing
I'll close the thread then, but feel free to post again if you have other questions.

Alcock welcomes competition
Jan 23,2013
Written by: SARugby.com Editor
With three Wallaby players in the mix and two young guns ready to take every opportunity, new recruit Chris Alcock is prepared for some stiff competition in the Western Force back row this season.
But rather than be perturbed by the task ahead, Alcock made the decision to move across the country to be a part of head coach Michael Foley's plan of boasting the best back-row in Super Rugby.
The South African-born openside flanker played soccer as a child but took up rugby when after moving to Australia with his family at the age of 10. From there he moved up the ranks in the Shute Shield competition before joining the Waratahs for the 2010 Super Rugby season.
Alcock played under Foley at the Waratahs for two years, where he amassed 25 caps before being offered the opportunity to follow his mentor to Perth. The decision to move was an easy one and he is hungry to get on the field and be a part of the relaunch of the side.
"I spoke to Foles [Foley] before coming over here and one of the things he said was the Force has one of the best back rows in the competition so to be a part of that in any way, shape or form is a big achievement so what I'm trying to do is just get involved," Alcock told the Western Force website.
"I've really enjoyed the move to Perth, there's a really good bunch of guys and it's been a good pre-season and I'm really looking forward to the season ahead."
Foley praised the flanker's efforts in the pre-season and said he was working hard to be successful in a team that was reaching the high standards asked of them.
"I think the difference in Chris' pre-season has been significant and particularly around some of the results he's achieved in his fitness testing," Foley said.
"He's been snookered in a lot of sessions behind our captain Matt Hodgson but he hasn't been deterred by that. Every session he's come and he's competed particularly hard and he is adding something to the team.
"Having guys like Brown, McMeniman and McCalman and young very promising players like Cottrell and McCaffrey, it is extremely competitive and Chris has done well to compete with those guys and I believe Chris will challenge for the 15, if not the 22 every game."
Alcock said he is enjoying working under Foley again and commended his different approach to coaching.
"It is quite a different atmosphere, he's got very good support staff around him at the moment," he said.
"Pre-season training has been very physical with a strong emphasis on fitness which is probably one of the major things for me so I'm really looking forward to getting out on the field and putting that work into action.
"I'm expecting a real good year. We are definitely going to be in and amongst it with every game we play and hopefully the results will go our way."
Alcock is ready to make his case for a regular spot in the 22 when the Western Force take on the Brumbies in Darwin on February 1 and Tonga Select XV on February 8 in the club's trial matches.

How to identify stock bottoms
If you learn to read price action instead of relying on indicators, eventually you will be able to spot them.
By Greg Capra, Pristine Capital Holdings, Inc.
This stock isn't going to be the next big mover like Apple (AAPL) was in its heyday, but it has formed a bottom and signaled the start of a move higher last week.
Bottoming formations take time, and typically, have multiple retests of prior lows, breakdown failures (BDF) and false starts. One signal that has had a high degree of not being a false start coming out of a base is the bullish wide range bar (+WRB) on increasing volume.
After falling lower with virtually no bounces at all in 2011, Corning Inc. (GLW) began to form a bottom. Like most bottoming formations, GLW had its retests, failed attempts to move higher, (none ever cleared any prior highs) and a breakdown failure that was retested. Notice after the move up from that retest, GLW based sideways at resistance.
Pristine Tip: Basing at resistance after a move up signals buyers absorbing the supply and bullish.
Last week, GLW formed a +WRB with increasing volume and closed above its recent resistance area. Look further to the left, and you will see other large green candles, some even with an increase in volume, but none of them cleared prior highs. Those prior highs still have to be overcome; however, the price action that has occurred after them suggests that is going to happen.
By putting together the parts of the overall price action that has occurred, we have the makings of a bottom and bullish signal. I could have put a few indicators on the chart to show you how they are becoming bullish and signaling a move higher also. Most likely, that would create a belief in those indicators as a reliable way of determining a bottom.
In time, you would be moving onto the next indicator someone else used. This is the cycle most go through forever and never understand how to read the interaction between buyers (demand) and sellers (supply).
Bottoms form in different ways, but if you learn to read the price action the way I've explained, you will be able to determine when that has happened. Whether you trade stocks, commodities, currencies, or the market indices, learn to read the price action, not the indicators that attempt to read the price action for you.

Beginnings: Indians dubbed the area around the headwaters of the Nissequogue River Hauppauge meaning "overflowed land". With the arrival of the Europeans, the area was divided between Smithtown and Islip. On the Smithtown side, the land was owned by Richard Smith. But the first settler was Thomas Wheeler. The area became known as The Wheelers. That name stuck until 1843, when it reverted to Hauppauge.

Disability is Not Inability: Grassroots Participatory Development and Collective Action in the Iganga District of Uganda
Development planners continue to use mainstreaming as a way to include marginalized groups in the international development agenda. However, grassroots programs are gaining increasing attention as they are proving to be more effective than top-down measures. Furthermore, participatory programs allow individuals and communities to actively participate in their own development. This paper analyzes how one particular community of people with disabilities in Uganda are actively playing a role in their own development, both through participatory programs and collective efforts. This paper chronicles the implementation of participatory forms of development by people with disabilities (PWDs) in the Iganga district of Uganda. The paper could potentially lay the foundations for further research on the ability of local actors to create social change, or "development," through their own actions. Participatory programs/models like these could be included in the international development agenda to allow people to become active in their own development.

Asalaam alykum. I have heard that men shouldn't wear gold adornment, it is haraam to them. So the silk {harir} clothing to... I would like to know the reason behind.
Allah knows best.
Islam has, prohibited two kinds of adornment for men, while permitting them to women. These are, first, gold ornaments and, second, clothing made of pure silk.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once saw a gold ring on a man's hand. He immediately took it from him and threw it down saying, "Does a person pick up a piece of burning coal and hold it in his hand?" After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had left the place, someone asked the man, "Why do you not pick it up and benefit from it?" He replied, "No, by Allah! I shall not pick it up after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has thrown it away." (Reported by Muslim)
The same prohibition which applies to the gold ring likewise applies to what we observe among conspicuous spenders, i.e., the gold pen, gold watch, gold cigarette case and lighter, gold teeth, etc . Allah subhana WA taala knows best

Sadie, smart cookie means a smart person. It is just a new cool way to describe someone as smart.
Please do not understand me wrong.
And Mike, I am not "she", I am a Swedish teen.

anakata, a thousand pardons. my bad, took the ending in an (a) as feminine. shouldn't jump to such conclusions on such an international forum. like a bunch of dudes used to call sadie brother because it's a male arabic name, means mercy in arabic i've learned. so what does anakata mean? how's sweden doing. my brother's brother-in-law lives there. he married a swede in america but moved over there like 7 years ago.
as for the term cookie, i don't think it is very new. i think it goes back to at least the 40s, probably the 20s.

WTM by looking at the scale pattern possibly a Dendroaspis polylepis Black mamba. Always take a close up pic of the head scales for ID. Do you have a pick of the head?
Remember it is easy to drive over a snake witout knowing.. they make a dash for the dark shadow under the car and then get taken out by the rear wheels...

I tend to agree with pilane on this one...colour looks a lot like "Black Mamba" but if a head shot could be obtained (flat or not) should be able to id if it is or not.
Shame...poor snake..

I tend to stay away from the head side of a snake. Especially when they pretend to be dead!
It's head was a total mess. It would have made some girls and guys on this forum lose interst in lunch. Sorry then and thanks for trying to help.

A black mamba is not so easy to see. In general a Black mamba will move off long before you would see it. On foot in the bush they will seldom let you to get closer than 30 m to them. (unless it didn't see you..)
It is sad that they have such a bad reputation. (but maybe it is better like that) Yes they can be very nasty but they do not deserve the reputation they have.
Mamba rule 1. Don't corner it
Mamba rule 2. Turn around and walk away
If you want to break Mamba rule 1, make sure your last will is in order...

I love snakes!! Especially the coffin head.
Saw a huge black mamba in 2004 about a km from Shingwedzi main gate crossing the road.

We came across this Black Mamba sunning itself on the S21 in Feb this year.
It didn't seem to worry about our presence and only moved off into the grass after about 10 minutes, nearly scaring a Natal Francolin half to death in the process.

As I reported elsewhere, a 12 foot mamba crossed the Parfuri picnic spot about 6 feet from me - hissing and rearing up. Very impressive - and not what you expect when you turn around from photographing a bird!

The S21 is where we also had our only sighting of a black mamba which was basking in the sun. It was quite upset that we had disturbed it and I will never forget how it reared up.

Contradictory to popular believe the Black Mamba won't go attack and hunt you down for pure fun. Unless cornered the snake won't bother you much. But corner and harass it and you have the devil himself for a close acquaintance.

In contrast to all other species in this genus, which are arboreal, black mambas reside in hollow insect mounds, abandoned burrows, and rock crevices. They are diurnal. During the day they actively hunt their prey of small mammals, birds and lizards. They return to the same lair nightly.
So if you hear about one around somewhere you may find it there again...

This one was seen often in the same area about 3 years back.

although not strictly an arboreal species it's not uncommon to find one in the trees and will use hollows in in trees as shelter ... saw one on the last trip just near the shipandai hide

When I was a child we had a swing in a tree in the garden of our weekend house in Siteki in the bushveld. A black mamba lived in that tree, but somehow never bothered us. We only discovered this after about three years of going there, but apparently, according to the induna who looked after our place, the mamba had been there for a number of years.

Nike LunarEclipse+ – Anthracite – Max Orange – Volt
September 23rd, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
Still in its first version while some of Nike Running's other LunarLon-cushioned kicks are in their second and third generations, the Nike LunarEclipse+ finds itself as one of the Swoosh's longest running silhouettes as of this point in history. Their unique combination of breathable mesh and Flywire on the upper can be seen to foreshadow the unprecedented Flywire/Hyperfuse combo just unveiled on the LeBron 9 and this new black and Max Orange colorway isn't too far off from having a Miami Heat-leaning look. Click on the jump below to examine some more images and pick these up today from NikeStore.
