Smoke-free laws linked to drop in child asthma attacks
Introducing laws banning smoking in enclosed public places can lead to swift and dramatic falls in the number of children admitted to hospital suffering asthma attacks, according to a study in England published on Monday.
Researchers at Imperial College London found there was a 12.3 percent fall in hospital admissions for childhood asthma in the first year after laws against smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces came into effect in July 2007.
Similar anti-smoking legislation has been introduced in many other countries, including in the United States where it has also been linked to a reduction in childhood asthma emergencies.
"The findings are good news ... and they should encourage countries where public smoking is permitted to consider introducing similar legislation," said Christopher Millett from Imperial's school of public health, who led the study.
Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide and is the world's most common children's chronic illness. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness. In Britain, it affects one in every 11 children.
Before the ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces was implemented in England, hospital admissions for children suffering a severe asthma attacks were increasing by 2.2 percent a year, peaking at 26,969 in 2006/2007, the researchers found.
That trend reversed immediately after the law came into effect, with lower admission rates among boys and girls of all ages. There were similar reductions among children in wealthy and poor neighborhoods, both in cities and in rural areas.
The effect was equivalent to 6,802 fewer hospital admissions in the first three years after the law came into effect, the team wrote in a study in the journal Pediatrics.
"There is already evidence that eliminating smoking from public places has resulted in substantial population health benefits ... and this study shows that those benefits extend to ... childhood asthma," Millett said in a statement.
A study published in 2009 also found the ban on smoking in public places in England led to a swift and significant drop in the number of heart attacks, saving the national health service 8.4 million pounds ($13.3 million) in the first year.
"Previous studies have also suggested that the smoke-free law changed people's attitudes about exposing others to second-hand smoke and led more people to abstain from smoking voluntarily at home and in cars," Millett said.

Channel 2 News
Carl Lackey's truck is his office. About 70% of his job as wildlife biologist for the Nevada Department of Wildlife is taken up by bears, a beautiful part of the old west that lately has become…difficult. Carl told us, "With the weather conditions we're having so far this year, I anticipate a bad bear year."
It wasn't always this way. The department's Chris Healy says things changed about 20 years ago. "We had that drought in the early 1990's that forced the wild bear population to actually come down and start utilizing garbage as a source of food."
After all the controversy last year over Nevada's first bear hunt, the back and forth on bears has taken another turn. New regulations proposed would shorten the bear hunt this year, and leave Tahoe out of it. But they're not being considered to save some bears. Rather, it's to protect more people. Healy said the second proposal "would keep hunters out of the Tahoe Basin for bear hunting." Why keep hunters out of the Tahoe Basin? "Well, we had people last year saying it would be a dangerous situation. Bears can be dangerous too, but the perception is the hunters are more dangerous."
The department is really just responding to what Tahoe homeowners want: keeping bears in and more hunters out. As for shortening the hunt, that wish to start a month later in September comes from the hunters, concerned about their hunting dogs. Healy says "These hounds that were out, utilized in hunting these bears, were becoming overheated."
Both changes are expected to pass next month. In the meantime, both men expect another backyard invasion of bears this year. Carl Lackey says that will be due to "a lack of natural foods. If we don't get some moisture, a lot of those shrubs and berry crops that the bears depend on late summer and fall aren't going to be there." Yes, yet another danger that comes down to a lack of moisture.
The season shortening and Tahoe Basin exclusion go before the Nevada Wildlife Commission in Las Vegas early next month. The meeting is scheduled for February 3rd. The bear hunt quota numbers will be set in May.
You can make your views known before their decision…the Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners accepts emails, and has more contact information here: http://ndow.org/learn/com/

The Woman in Black
The Woman in Black Plot Analysis
A Christmas Tale
The set-up is pretty cheery for such a dark tale. It opens with Arthur Kipps at home with his family and enjoying a pleasant Christmas Eve. However, when the talk of the evening turns to ghost stories, the real tale begins—and the real exposition.
Arthur Kipps is a young solicitor who's heading off on a business trip to tie up the affairs of a newly deceased Mrs. Drablow. He's bound for a small town called Crythin Gifford, where he'll be sorting papers at the creepily named Eel Marsh House. And, with all the info we need for a truly nail-biting story, we're off!
Rising Action
To the Countryside
When Arthur gets to Crythin Gifford, he encounters lots of fog and uneasy townsfolk who don't want anything to do with (1) him, or (2) talk of Mrs. Drablow. We know that something is afoot, and we know it even more when all sorts of creepy things start happening at the house after Arthur spies a scary-looking woman in black at Mrs. Drablow's funeral.
The Ghost of Eel Marsh House
As Arthur explores Eel Marsh House, things start to go bump in the night (literally). It all comes to a head when he realizes that the woman in black is actually a ghost. And if that's not climactic, we don't know what is.
Falling Action
Sam Daily Says
When Arthur brings up his findings to Sam Daily, the whole story falls into place. We find out that the ghost is of a woman named Jennet Humfrye who haunts Eel Marsh House and Crythin Gifford because she's super angry about the death of her child. Every time she's seen, a child dies… except for this time. Whew! Arthur heads back to London, certain that the story is over.
Or is it?
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Not exactly. The actual resolution happens a couple years later, when Arthur has married his girlfriend Stella and had a child named Joseph. He sees the woman in black again and his wife and child get into a terrible accident and die. That's when everything really gets resolved—with a bitter old ghost's revenge.

Does anyone own a Nikon 24 - 70 F2.8, if so how do they find it? I am upgrading as such from a 17 - 55mm F.28
Good lens, it's standard issue for professionals who use Nikon and I use it for a lot of my studio work. It performs a lot better than the 28-70 lens that it replaced.
The 17-55 is also a fine lens, but only covers DX format. Unless you've switched to full-frame, there seems little point in trading it in unless you need the focal length range.
My 24/70 is a stunning performer on my FX cameras; if I had DX solely I wouldn't rush to upgrade a 17/55 a superlative performer I read.
Fabulous lens, Never fails to amaze me everytime I use it, Tends to live on my D700 most of the time......
My copy is super sharp at f/2.8 throught its focal range, Stays that way as you stop down too .....
Many reviews say that its as good as any " Prime " within its focal range, A view I would not argue with, Makes my old Nikon 50mm look soft....!!!
Thanks for all the comments. I am upgrading as this is my last DX lens so I can in the future buy an FX camera plus I also have got a decent exchange value for it against the proposed new lens. I always found 17 - 55 just a bit short which was annoying!
If you find the 17-55 is too short on DX, you won't like the 24-70 either.
If you scale for sensor size, the 24-70 on FX would do the same job as a 16-47 on DX.
Nick, looked at your gallery, much of which is excellent and very well suited to the 17-55. That said, if going soon to FX, go for it, ......doubtful you will be disappointed in the 24-70. If your waiting a bit for the FX, consider keeping the 17-55, plus the 24-70 and when you do go FX trade the former for a 70-200 2.8, or a 14-24.......your new 24-70 will present the same dilema on a FX so far as being short, that you currently have with you 17-55. All said, google nikon 24-70 2.8 and try to find a bad review, few and far between.
Enjoy much when it arrives.
thanks for the information however I have been offered around £600 in part exchange for my 17 - 55. I already own a 70 - 200 f2.8.
Im a little confused about why you suggest I get a 14 - 24? I thought getting the 24 - 70 that means it would be a 35 - 105 on my D300 and then a true 24 - 70 on an FX camera which would still be longer than the 17 - 55?
I tend to confuse people easily, try again.. meant today D300 17-55 plus 24-70, as many of your gallery shots lend themselves nicely to the 17-55.
Later..FX 24-70 plus 14-24 (trading in 17-55) to maintain the look of your gallerys' perspectives.
The 600 would be tempting.
A later trade of the 17-55 would give you the so called Nikon FX Trinity. 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, all 2.8.
I need to have my nap now,...my head hurts.
Having looked at your portfolio why upgrade to FX?
OK a couple of night shots might in theory benefit from the noise advantage of a D700 - but you are obviously stopping down. With DX you get the same DOF as FX (same viewfinder crop) 1 shutter speed faster, canceling out most of the D700/D3 noise advantage at high ISO's.
At low ISO's FX (other than 24 MP D3x) does not give you any more sharpness or resolution than a D300s/s
Whether you need another lens regardless of DX or FX is another topic
I might upgrade to FX in the future. If I did the 17 - 55 would be useless and is dropping in value all the time. I considered the 24 - 70 as it was FX so in theory would work on both systems while giving me a little bit more reach on my current D300.
The lens after the 24 - 70 is the 70 - 200 which I already have. The solution is to have a 17 - 150 F2.8 but there is nothing.
Len if you read the thread, being offered half the price for the 17 - 55 is something always worth considering

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- A former federal inmate has thrown his first legal punch, figuratively, back at the Hamilton County District Attorney General, and two former Chattanooga Police officers who were fired for using 'excessive force' while arresting him.
Adam Tatum has filed a Petition For Post-Conviction Relief, seeking to throw out a plea deal he agreed to after prosecutors charged him with multiple counts of assault and resisting arrest in connection with the incident at the Salvation Army's Residential Re-Entry Center June 14.
"During the prosecution of this matter in the Court of General Sessions, the assistant district attorney (ADA) failed to disclose the extent of the video evidence to plaintiff (Tatum) and the plaintiff's then-attorney," Tatum's attorney, Robin Flores, writes in his Petition.
Flores asserts that Tatum's then-defender believed the state was hiding critical evidence, but that Tennessee's Rules of Criminal Procedure prevented him from obtaining the evidence that would have confirmed or refuted that.
Tatum pleaded guilty to a single charge of assault, and is serving 11 months, 29 days in the Silverdale Correctional Facility.
"(Tatum's original defender) did not see all of the videotape, which we believe shows the officers inflicting the horrific injuries that put him in the hospital, and that got those officers fired for excessive force, "Flores tells Channel 3.
"Thus, he couldn't advise Mr. Tatum what do to."
Chattanooga Police and the Federal Bureau of Prisons have declined to make the surveillance video public, on grounds that their investigations remain open. Police are trying to determine whether a third officer should face discipline.
Incident reports from the CPD and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) , and Flores' petition name a third officer. But neither CPD or the BOP will confirm whether that officer is the officer whose actions they're scrutinizing.
Citing precedent in several federal cases, Flores' Petition asks Hamilton County Criminal Court for an evidentiary hearing, and to throw out Tatum's plea deal and conviction on grounds that the deal violates Tatum's due process rights.
You'll hear more on the motion, and on Tatum's claims against the officers tonight on Eyewitness News at 6.
In an Exclusive interview, Tatum gives his side of what led to the confrontation with officers, and why they should have to pay for more than his medical bills.

FARGO (KFGO AM) The F-M Diversion Authority has called a special meeting Tuesday to approve a significant increase in the cost of a contract for an environmental impact study for the proposed Red River Diversion to be done by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Last month, the Diversion Authority directed staff to negotiate a contract with the DNR for $750,000. Local leaders just learned the cost will be closer to $1.2 million. Authority chairman Darrell Vanyo is surprised but he says the unexpected $400,000 increase won't derail the project.
The EIS is required by law and could take a year to complete.

For dapper nerds, a computer keyboard jacket
A jacket covered in computer keys, while very creative, is probably not optimal if you're standing in a crowded elevator or dancing close.
Warning: If you don't like strangers touching you, you may not want to wear this jacket covered in keyboard keys. Because you just know everyone who sees you in this keyboard on a hanger will want to get up in your business and pretend to type all over your nerdy self. Ctrl+Alt+Del, people!
We don't have much more information on this coat of many keys, which was originally spotted on photo-sharing site Piccsy. And that's a shame, because we can think of a few geeks who would look darn dashing pairing it with, say, a Twitter T-shirt or Nintendo sweater .

Invest Like a Venture Capitalist With These 5 Stocks
Last up is Amazon.com (AMZN), a name that seems surprising to find on VCs' love list. After all, AMZN isn't some high-growth upstart -- it's the biggest retailer in the world by dollar volume, and it sports a market capitalization of $192 billion.
Still, VCs own 79,000 shares of this high-flying stock; that adds up to $25 million at current share prices.
Amazon is the 800-pound gorilla in the retail space. A decade ago, if you'd asked someone what "Amazon.com" was, they'd reply that it's an online book store. You wouldn't get the same response today, even if books remain an important element of AMZN's business. Amazon's existence is one of the primary factors that so many notable retail names have gone out of business in the last decade, and it's working hard to find new ways to get merchandise to customers more easily and cheaply than before.To court customers, Amazon has expanded its service offerings to include high margin data hosting and web services, and it's also launched loss leaders like the Kindle, which are designed to spur content consumption. Luckily for shareholders, Mr. Market is willing to listen to the long-term argument in AMZN -- that's the only way to explain the gargantuan valuation premium on shares right now. But as long as the price momentum remains intact in Amazon, it would be foolish to sell this stock. I'd still recommend keeping tight stops in this stock, even if VCs don't. To see these stocks in action, check out the Winter 2014 Venture Capital Buys portfolio on Stockpickr. -- Written by Jonas Elmerraji in Baltimore.

Louisiana Closing Beaches After Thick Oil Washes Ashore - video
As the gooey mess washes up on beaches, the promised BP clean up crews are nowhere in sight. No surprises there, huh?
"everything in that marsh is DEAD tonight"
But wait...Obama comes to the rescue! This just in from the BBC...
Obama names oil-spill panel heads
"President Barack Obama has named two political veterans to head an independent US commission investigating the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, amid criticism of the government's response."
Read more at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_and_canada/10141194.stm
I'm certain all the residents of the Gulf Coast (persons, fish and fowl) are breathing a sigh of relief now that "two political veterans" will be dispatched to clean up the mess. Can Obama fix this? Yes he can! Yes we can!
But shouldn't his FIRST priority be to send the National Guard -or- FEMA -or- the Army Corps of Engineers down the beaches and start shoveling up the oil? Does this sound a little backward to you?

According to Lippert, sugar and simple carbohydrates are things we commonly crave when we're low-energy due to PMS. "One of worst things to turn to is the quick fix of sugar. Instead, eat fiber-rich complex carbs to maintain your energy levels." There are great complex carb options for any time of day, like oatmeal, sweet potatoes, or whole wheat pasta. Brown rice is particularly beneficial. "Not only is brown rice loaded with slowly digested complex carbs, it's also a top source of magnesium (1 cup delivers 1/4 of your daily dose) which is believed to alleviate bloating. Aim for 200 mg of magnesium per day," says Ansel. Another bloat-buster? Citrus, says Lippert. "It's a natural diuretic, thanks to the potassium. Snack on clementines or oranges, or add lemon or lime to the water you drink throughout the day."

Light it upPosted on November 10th, 2008 – 10:19 PM
By Jason Hammond
Drilling some holes in the MDF.
Once we created our pattern we painted the panels white.
With the panels set in place we were pleased felt that it needed another length of rope light to complete the effect before we tack it in place for good.
The area under our bar has sat relatively untouched since we have moved in a little less than a year ago. This was more a result of having too many ideas to choose from and not being able to commit t one in particular. We looked at some relatively expensive but very cool solutions but in the end we decided that it was probably something we would rather invest a little ingenuity and hard work into rather than cash in order to get the affect we wanted. As a result we decided to go another one of our "modest modern" design solutions.
When our electrician was wiring the wall located underneath our bar, I had a thought that it would be good idea to put an outlet up high with a switch to turn it off, so that we could potentially add some under bar LED lighting later on. As we weighed our various options, the ability to add this light to the surface area really played heavily into our final decision of what material to use and how to apply it. Using a couple of sheets of MDF we cut them down to divide the space under the bar in half. We then drilled a series of varying sized holes into the substrate in a random pattern. After painting the panels a hi-gloss white, we mounted a length of LED rope light to the back of the panels, before mounting them to the wall using 3/4″ spacers. The panels were cut a bit short of the overall height so that they could float about 3/4 of an inch off the floor, creating a reverse toe-kick. The effect was a random pattern of light coming through the holes, and a line of light running along the floor the length of the bar. The subtle nature of the pattern allows it to feel elegant in the space, while at the same time giving the room an added sense of dimension. We've decided thayt to optimize the effect we need to add one additional section of LED rope light, but outside of that it turner out great and has already garnered the attention of the neighbor kids and a few visiting friends.

Dude, keep that up and I'm calling you when I get my project started:> Seriously, I love the ingenuity and style quotients of both the bedroom and bar projects.
I've been trying to figure out a similar puzzle, but in a potential bathroom wall cabinent design….was thinking of using blue or green LED Christmas light strings mounted behind a "punched" design in the doors as a sort of nightlight/glow…for those inevitable middle of the night trips where you HATe to turn on the bright lights. LED seems to pack more/brighter light and has a couple more color choices. Either has such a low energy demand as to be barely measurable on the elec. bill. The indoor/outdoor factor makes either rope or LED strings a great choice for locations that might get wet and/or abused plus forget about having to reach a burn-out. Just remember to use a GFI outlet as a fail-safe.
Hi Diane,
Thanks, I'm glad you like it as well. The LED rope lite is really pretty easy to work with and like you said, last for just about forever while supplying nice bright light.
I'd love to see what you come up with on your project.

RACIAL COVENANTS: A History Past and Present
Donnellda Rice, Esq.
At one time, both Gov. George W. Bush and his father, former President
George Bush, owned houses with restrictive racial covenants attached
to their deeds, stating that the occupancy in the home was restricted
to "white persons only, not excluding bonafide servants of any race,"
according to an article published last summer by Washington Post
columnist David Broder.
When Broder asked Bush about it, Bush said he did not know of the
covenant, and that it was a non-issue since the covenant was null
and void under Texas law. At least George Bush is right about one
thing- racially restrictive covenants limiting occupancy in a home
or the sale of property to whites only, while still found in property
deeds, are non-enforceable.
Once common, racial covenants are now legally impotent, offensive
relics of the past, like "whites
only" drinking fountains. Covenants precluding the sale of property
to blacks or those prohibiting them from occupying certain land,
made their debut in the post Civil War Jim Crow era, also known
as "black
codes" Locales throughout the nation passed laws making it illegal
to sell property in certain neighborhoods to blacks, or criminalizing
black occupancy on certain land. Some towns went so far as to prohibit
whites from living in areas considered to be blacks neighborhoods.
Designed to segregate Blacks into limited geographic areas, these
laws helped to perpetuate America's
version of South African apartheid . In 1917, the U.S. Supreme
Court put an end to the black codes. In the Buchanan
vs. Warley decision, the high court ruled that a municipal ordinance
making it a criminal offense to sell land to Negroes violated the
14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Following the
Warley decision, towns and states could no longer pass laws designating
where Black citizens could and could not live.
Nonetheless, the Supreme Court's Warley decision did not go far
enough. It left in place private racially restrictive covenants.
Proponents of segregated housing were quick to take advantage of
this loophole. By the 1920s, throughout the country in both northern
and southern states, individual homeowners and developers agreed
among themselves not to sell or rent to African Americans in particular
areas. Other landowners put language in their property deeds requiring
the property to revert to the original owner if sold, rented or
leased to African Americans.
Black citizens continued to launch legal challenges against these
covenants. As a result, state courts in California, Michigan, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia concluded that covenants restricting the sale
or other transfer of property to African Americans were invalid
because they imposed an unlawful restraint on trade. Notably, though,
even these courts did not rule that the covenants violated the U.S.
Only two state courts ruled against restrictive covenants on the
grounds that the covenant violated the Constitution. In Pennsylvania
in a case called Yoshida
vs. Gelbert, a court ruled that a restrictive covenant barring
the occupancy of land by "a Chinaman or Chinamen," violated the
14th Amendment to the Constitution. The court also noted the covenant
violated a treaty between the United States and China in which the
U.S. had agreed to treat Chinese citizens equal to white citizens.
In Arkansas, a court upheld the indictment of whites for refusing
to lease a farm to Negroes, saying that the whites had violated
federal law. And in an unprecedented decision, a Virginia court
ruled that a corporation owned solely by Negroes could purchase
land without violating the restrictive covenant on the land prohibiting
its sale to individual Negroes.
Private restrictive covenants not only segregated African Americans
in cities and rural counties, it served as a barrier to African
American entry into suburbia. In Chicago, entire suburbs were limited
to ownership and occupancy by "Caucasians only." African American
citizens continued to launch challenges to racial covenants individually
and collectively. Some used white "agents" to purchase homes for
In 1973, Carl Hansberry bought a home in the Washington Park area
of Chicago, an area with a restrictive covenants prohibiting occupancy
by Negroes. Supported by the NAACP and his self-run civil rights
foundation, Carl Hansberry challenged the restrictive covenant and
efforts to force him and his family from their home. His daughter,
Lorraine, wrote about the experience in her play Raisin in the Sun.
Thurgood Marshall, head of the NAACP Legal Defense Program, orchestrated
a brilliant legal campaign challenging private restrictive covenants
before the U.S. Supreme Court. According to biographer Carl Rowen,
Mr. Marshall committed almost a quarter of the NAACP's legal budget
to fight what he considered one of the most humiliating lingering
vestiges of slavery. In the first of these legal battles, McGhee
vs. Sipes, Thurgood Marshall suffered an early defeat in what soon
turned into an offensive against discriminatory housing practices.
In June 1934, Mr. Benjamin J. Sipes signed a contract with his
neighbors agreeing that none of them would sell property to persons
"other than those of the Caucasian race." Mr. Sipes sold his property
to Mr. Ferguson, who unbeknownst to Mr. Sipes, was an agent for
Mr. Orsel McGhee. Ferguson promptly sold the property to the McGhees,
African Americans, who moved in on Nov. 30, 1944. On January 30,
Mr. Sipes sued the McGhees. The court determined that Mr. McGhee
was a Negro, because he looked like one, and his wife looked "like
the mulatto type." The court ordered the McGhees to vacate the property
within 90 days, and restrained them from using or occupying the
premise in the future.
In an opinion that should be required reading for every high school
American history class, the McGhee federal court engaged in a lengthy
discourse noting that while restrictive covenants were creating
serious public health issues, since 12 percent of the Detroit population
was being forced to live in a limited area, the court could do nothing
to remedy that side effect. The court also quoted an eloquent speech
on the difference between justice and rule of law, concluding with
self-righteous hypocrisy that the rule of law required the court
to order the McGhees to vacate their home, making justice not within
the purview of the court.
On May 3, 1948 in a landmark decision akin to Brown vs. Board of
Education, the Supreme Court ruled in Shelley vs. Kraemer that court
enforcement of private restrictive covenants was unconstitutional.
Justice Vinson, speaking for the Court, pointed out that the covenants
themselves were not unconstitutional, but the judicial enforcement
of the private covenants violated the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
The Court made it abundantly clear that people were free to voluntarily
adhere to a restrictive covenant, but the court prohibited any court
in the country from enforcing it.
The decision was soon challenged. In a May 5, 1948 article in The
Washington Post, readers were assured that other devices could be
used by those "who want to choose their neighbors." Helpfully, the
Post listed a few ways to circumvent the Supreme Court's decision
in Shelley vs. Kraemer. U.S. News & 'World Report also provided
readers with ways to "protect the exclusive status of their neighborhoods."
The magazine warned that "occasional moves by Negroes into white
neighborhoods, even exclusive neighborhoods, may be expected."
Some of the recommendations made to readers to protect the exclusivity
of the neighborhood included:
Self-enforcement. Homeowners who had agreed to a restrictive
covenant could be required to pay a deposit to guarantee their compliance.
The deposit would be lost if the homeowner sold to a prohibited
Club Membership. Establish a club that would own all of
the property in an area, and permit only club members to acquire
shares in the club. The club could restrict membership to desired
Law Suits for Damages. If a person sold property subject
to a restrictive covenant to a prohibited person, the other homeowners
could sue the seller for money damages.
High Occupancy Standards. To maintain the general character
of a neighborhood and accomplish the "same ends sought by racial
restrictions," neighbors could require a certain income level, a
college degree, or limit the number of occupants per room in a house.
Financial Pressure. Private lending institutions could refuse
to lend to a builder who sold to Negroes.
Police Harassment. US News suggested that police and local
authorities be used to help maintain residential segregation by
harassing the Negroes, noting that this method had been used quite
effectively in the South.
Needless to say, all of these methods were employed. It was not
until 1968 that the Supreme Court closed the last loophole in selective
housing by ruling that private refusals to sell to Negroes were
unconstitutional. Interestingly, the Court based its decision on
a law that had been passed in its first permutation by Congress
in 1868 in Jones vs. Mayer - a revision long overdue.
While the landmark decision of Jones vs. Mayer Company outlawed
private restrictive covenants and refusal by private citizens to
sell to Negroes, it was not until ten years ago with the enactment
of the Fair Housing Act of 1988, that the federal government closed
all loopholes, making it illegal to redline, refuse to sell, rent
or loan or provide insurance on the basis of sex, religion, race
or color.

Naomi Russell at Barefoot Confidential
I've never really been interested in getting a footjob, but if Naomi Russell offered me one I'd sure as hell take it! A little footjob action before I fuck her in the ass, that doesn't sound so bad actually!
Naomi Russell wears a tight little top and skimpy thong that fits her ass very well. After displaying her juicy ass for a while she takes off her small piece of clothing and lets her feet get busy! She grips the cock between her feet and jerks it, almost as she would do with her hands. Seeing that stiff cock makes her so horny so it doesn't take long before that cock finds it way up her arse!

I didn't notice before now that Naomi Russell was wearing a matching thong and top!

The star of the reality show "Whale Wars" LIED about the fate of the show's most famous ship ... falsely telling the media it sank due to a crash with Japanese whalers, when in fact he secretly SABOTAGED the boat himself for publicity ... this according to a new lawsuit.
Paul Watson (above) -- founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society -- has been sued by Ady Gil ... who claims he owned the famous Ady Gil ship featured on "Whale Wars." Gil claims he let Watson's organization use his boat, so long as they took care of it.
In his suit, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Gil says his vessel was rammed by a Japanese whaling ship in 2010 ... and suffered damage to the nose ... but the damage was repairable.
According to Gil, Watson saw the collision as an opportunity to spin the incident into a major publicity and money maker for his organization ... so instead of towing the boat to port for repairs, he secretly gave an order to sink the ship "under the cover of darkness" ... and blamed the Japanese.
Gil claims Watson knew that blaming the whalers for the destruction of his ship would garner sympathy for his cause and spark outrage against the whalers ... inspiring more people to donate to his anti-whaling organization.
Gil is now demanding more than $5 MILLION in damages ... claiming Watson failed in his promise to do everything possible to keep the Ady Gil from sinking.
FYI -- Watson resigned from his position as the President of the Sea Shepherd society yesterday in the wake of other legal issues facing the organization.
So far, no comment from either Watson or the Society.
Paul Watson is a founding member of green peace. His original badge number was 007. He was kicked out because of his extreme tactics and views. He's not a bad guy, just really believes in what he's fighting for. I don't always agree with the choices he makes with his organization but I will continue to support them as right now they are the only group making any headway on this subject.
Whales are just animals. As the child of a Norwegian, ive eaten whale. Its not that good, but its part of their culture. Who are they to try to say which animals theyre allowed to eat, just because some lefty thinks theyre cute? Dont say intelligence, because pigs are smart, as far as stock goes.
I hope he gets eaten by a whale. There I said it.
I know Ady Gil personally. He's a weasel.
Paul Watson is a wanted criminal who skipped bail in Germany and is on the lam. How he can do this show and not be arrested on an international warrant is beyond me. He is a disgrace to Canada and all Canadians. I'm not really for whaling, but I wish Japan all the best when one of their whaling ships meet up with this eco-terrorist. There are better ways to achieve your goal than to terrorize people who are not breaking any laws.
My first question. is why is TMZ commenting or even interested .... no boobs or bathing suits here Paul Watson does amazing work.... he does what he has to do to save the whales. As for sinking the boat... I doubt he put himself and crew members at risk on purpose. What good are they floating to the whales
And btw, the fat a s s is always on the run whenever he breaks the law and he needs to show his aass up to give his side of the story he runs like a rabit,money hungry fat piece of shi t :)
South Park lol
Paul Watson is a reprehensible low-life eco-terrorist who fabricates situations in order to make money of the idiots who believe his crap. He did it in Canada for years and somehow he got a TV show. He doesn't care about animals. Money is his goal.
No idea about the merits of this lawsuit, but I do know that the most "famous" of the Sea Shepard ships is the Steve Irwin. After that comes the Bob Barker. The Ady Gil is maybe third.
That sucks
Reality shows are fake
to the people who support these terrorists how would yall like it if someone showed up to your job and just started throwing stuff at you because they dont believe in what the product your company makes?the japs are trying to earn a living yet these s*** try to make their lives a living hell.
Until all of you actually watch Whale Wars and read about Sea Shepherd and the work they have done for many, many years (even before the Animal Planet show), you have no right to comment one way or another on this ridiculous article. I have watched every episode and always follow up with the facts afterward. I am friends with Ady Gil, and personally spent time with Paul Watson and Pete Bethune, and they all have good points to make, but in this instance, Ady is flat wrong with his lawsuit, because all that happened is on tape and is very clearly the fault of Pete.
I LOVE whales, and all animals... but this guy and his team of obsessed lunatics actually makes me LOVE to see a whale shot and killed in front of them just to see them cry over it. I hate this guy and his other PETA-esque co-horts with an undying passion. There is a time and a place for everything and there is something called tact. Outragiousness, shock value, and violence that people like this push to try and help a cause does nothing but drive people away from it, or worse yet.....it causes people to hate their cause because they hate the messengers. They along with peta and all these other FANATICS do more harm to their causes than good. The only people these tactics impress are other overly dramatic nutjobs like them. NOT the regular public....which is where the majority of the support they need comes from.
I'm against wearing fur. I don't like to see little animals killed just for their pelts, HOWEVER, I do approve of using the hides of animals raised for comsumption rather than throwing it away and wasting it. I don't believe that throwing a bucket of red paint on a woman wearing a fur coat is going to do a damn thing for your cause other than to give a rich woman with a more than likely INSURED fur coat a reason to go out and buy A REPLACEMENT COAT. Now 50 more minks are going to die tomorrow when they otherwise wouldn't have had to....to replace a coat PETA destroyed today. STUPIDITY. But all the raving college kids that support outragious tactics are now whooping and hollaring to a stunt they think "did something". I don't agree with killing whales, but when whalers are in INTERNATIONAL WATERS that they have a right to hunt in as much as anyone else.......they are within their rights. They are not in a santuary. They are in waters that are open to huting, and as long as they tag in each animal they process, (which they do keep logs of it ) they are within their rights. This dumbass takes his boat and causes destruction of private property to other within their rights. HE'S the bad guy in my book. The Sea Shepherd crew does nothing BUT break the laws. They try and physically wreck other ships, cause physical harm, they try sinking whaler ships. That's attempted murder of a Japanese sea crew. They all belong in jail. Why do you think so many people that otherwise would agree with no whaling actually root for the whalers because of this show? FANATICS, they need to take a good hard look at that and ask themselves what good they really are doing when they have people rooting for whalers because of their actions. I hope this jerk is sued and loses his case. I hope he loses everything he has. And secondly I also hope someone kicks Bob Barker's ass for giving that lunatic a ship in the first place.

DIY Natural Cockroach Repellent
Thankfully, I've yet to encounter a cockroach in my building. But when I came across this simple repellent on Homelife, it seemed smart to save it just in case.
Once you see a cockroach, of course, it means that cockroach already has plenty of company. If you've had cockroaches before or suspect you might have them, it's best to take preventative measures. All you need are cloves, Epsom salts and a bit of strategy.

"take preventative measures" Argh! Pet peeve! There is no such word as "preventative." The word is "preventive."
I met a mycologists recently who noted some exciting research. Using spores, some biologists have apparently rid entire houses of cockroaches and found new ones unwilling to enter. These spores are of edible mushrooms and do not affect people in the home.
"Also, pre·vent·a·tive"
I am down for that. Any idea how to do it?
We have roaches in our apartment building, but I rarely see them myself. With the season change, I have noticed a few scouts, but none have lived to tell the other. I will be doing the DIY though because I refuse to live with that. I keep a VERY clean home for this exact reason, but I'll take all the help I can get.
Now, if we could only find a way to get rid of ghost ants...
So....epsom salts and cloves/clove oil -- how exactly does that work to repel them?
skip the epsom salt/clove mixture and use boric acid.
I live in a warm temperate climate in an old wooden house - cockroach heaven. I am a raving greenie and have tried pretty much everything. In the end, I came across a little electrical device that plugs into any household socket and sends a pulse through the wiring. It stops them nesting and breeding. I've had it for a couple of years and love the thing. The only cockroaches I ever see now are the occasional dead or nearly dead one.
JennNielsen please for the love of god share the name of this mystical device. A link will secure you a place at my dinner table permanently for any fancy home cooked meal you wish.

These Forgiveness Epic poems are examples of Epic poems about Forgiveness. These are the best examples of Forgiveness Epic poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
When I am Colder,Older and then alone...
I will collect the sky on my own...
When the art has faded and the days then fade-
when everyone has gone away...
I may finally see what never was saw
.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............... the quiet sky
The unlit room which bares my end...shows the flashes of my pains my joys and sins.
This life has been a strange one since the curtains were drawn
These paper and plastic figures have clouded the dawn
I was once younger,foolish,and obsessed with truth
Now I am bitter,sour,dour faced with my heart under shoe
The children were all searching or lost in a crowd
All weeds in a garden...growing vile and foul
Though beauty was sold it never came true
Obsessions and vanity have traveled safe through
Materials and poison and everything lost
have been burned in the fires or lost in the frost
I stand face to mirror tearing my being apart
Winding thoughts of love,pain,god,and art
As the sun sets and the darkness grows
I too shall follow this pattern in tow
Death has a friendly hand and a pretty face
She has given me comfort as I leave this place
The wars have occurred,humanity's lost
Souls have been burnt in the fire or lost in the frost
Day was Life,Night is Death
And the latter has given counsel on my final steps
This pledge that l,Ntando, make today serves
as my guideline that I shall follow
happily, ungrudgingly and tirelessly
for the sake of our love life.
Indeed l am well aware of the fact that
the beauty of this pledge does not only lie
in word alone but in action as well.
For that reason in every season
I shall show steadfast commitment
to the implementation of this pledge
with a great deal of astuteness.
I therefore commit myself to be your
devoted and delivering husband for
all the years l shall live with you
on this earth.
I shall treat you with the love and care
you deserve as my wife.
Indeed l shall treat you with
the distinction and dignity
that is befitting of the queen of my heart.
That body, that bone, that breath
shall be my mine to treasure,
for sure;
a dearness to promote and protect
for dear life…and love!
I shall stand by and with you in all the
situations of our life.
If the situation demands that we sail,
sail we shall together.
If the situation demands that we
climb we shall together.
I know very well what l am getting into:
I am getting into a marriage that is
overflowing with blessings.
This marriage- with our mutual
will stand the test of time.
I know very well what I am getting into:
I am getting into a relationship that
brims over with a transforming power
of love.
This marriage-with our
mutual commitment –
will transform naivety into maturity
troubles into challenges
pretence into practice
pride into progress
bachelorship into companionship.
I pledge to be your steward and partner
for all times.
I shall value the consultations
and decisions that we make as
husband and wife.
As head of the family I shall do nothing
to derail our love train for anything else
least of all for personal and selfish reasons.
Now and forever
I am your lawful and loving husband…
This pledge that l, Nothando, make today serves
as my guideline that I shall follow
happily, ungrudgingly and tirelessly
for the sake of our love life.
Indeed I am well aware of the fact that
the beauty of this pledge does not only
lie in pronouncements but in practice
as well.
For this reason every season
I shall demonstrate untiring love
and loyalty to you;
a love and a loyalty that is a living
embodiment of our marriage vows.
I therefore commit myself to be your
honouring, supportive and loving wife
for all the years l shall live with you.
I shall treat you with the love and care
that you deserve as my husband.
Indeed I shall treat you with
the dignity and nobility that is befitting
of the king of my heart.
On my mind it is always fresh
that I am the flesh of your flesh.
Green or grown
I am the bone of your bone.
I know very well what I am getting into:
I am getting into a relationship that
elevates me into a kingdom of wifehood.
I shall endevour to put my family first
with all the rights, obligations
and privileges that come with wifehood.
I shall endevour to wipe off and ward off
loneliness and lostness from our relationship,
seeking nothing but your companionship;
banking on your stewardship,
sinking together any hardship.
Since you are mine
I shall not do anything else to undermine
our relationship for personal
or egotistical
Now and forever
I am your lawful and loving wife…
A burst of white light
gamma rays, overbearing
a flash of brilliance
burns through to my soul
everything is like hell
the world starts to melt
in the blink of an eye
just the cold blackness
of night
I don't care if I am not again
what I once was, for at this moment
I am greater now
than ever before
I took the path between
teetering, tight roping walking
right up to my right
divined in my unholy state
I thought I told you
I am your king
still you sit there, hesitating
I know you hate me
what does that mean?
I hate just about everything
still I'm chosen
I did not wish before
now bow down to me
refuse me no more
for I shall always be your demon
until you accept me as your King.
I don't even know you
though you say we used to be
best of friends, you and me
the day you ditched me
I remember now
exactly how it played out
back when we were just tiny things
even back then I still was King
you thought me stupid
just a ruse
I would laugh inside, you see?
not one of you single, mean people
ever even knew me
in a world, mostly seen to me
that is why only I can be your true King
and bring forth a new source
of light everlasting.
As two worlds collide slowly aligned
one wrapped in shadows
one bathed in white
evils swirling in the clouds above
I'll always be the king you love
to hate or despise as in your blood
I thought I told you, I am the one
I am the way, the way out shall be shown
breathe in my spirit as it carries you away
breathe in my faith it shall carry your empty space
and deposit you gently on a cloud just enough
higher than you've ever dreamed of
for I am king now, and your in my hell
your in my imagination, I'll just never tell
you'll feel as though dreaming, you'll feel now
if you try and see
you were always found the most
shared in the light cast upon me
the last bright star in heaven.
Denounce my name, if you may
One year later, still not afraid
A black sheep, a darkened spade
That's just life, I'm not right
I'm in the wrong, follow along
Like a piper, I'll pitch a song
Mesmerized, the weak wills sing
I thought he told you, he's still our king.
my heart breathes its last breath
Embraces its own death
Ready to be reborn
and made anew
Can't live a lie
Refuse to "do"
and I'll DIE....
Focus now on why I'll live
And never touch the sky.
I have to forget you
I have to reject you
But I will never love anyone
like I loved you.....
I heard you whisper
and you never knew it
I wiped the tears from your eyes
But you couldn't feel it
You're lost and you'll never find you
And neither will I
And I'm so sorry--
but I'm NOT.
I'll attempt to reset
Try to forget
But you know, I never will.
Be my dirty little secret
My very worst-kept secret
Sweet, smooth, beautiful poison
My infernal and endless attraction
towards complete and utter self-destruction
I fell in love with the devil
And it will take one heck of an angel
To save me from the likes of you....
My addiction
my confusion
my nightmare
my dream never to come true
Oh, I'll never forget the times
we never shared
I'll never forget
how you were never there
Always me, the stars, and tears
And I ask you,
what kind of life is THAT?
I have to face the facts
I don't know what happens now
but it happens without you.
The stains will always be there
the scars will never fade
But the memory of you----
it HAS to.
I could carry the torch forever
But it would only consume me
I can't cry another tear for you
Or I'll dry up completely
It doesn't affect you
and you never deserved me
You'll go on with your life, too
All, all alone
Because you'll only ever be in love
with you.
Smokeless inhales hurt.
I cough tar on my shirt.
As my black lungs breathe,
Shrilling exhales wheeze.
Falls me
Down to
My knees.
The nicotine cracks
My will.
My composure
I want
I must
Have this.
I sink
The brink
Of madness.
Sheathed beneath fey
Fallow heath;
Ever reclining, ne'er still,
Strenuous tendons, canvassed abruptly,
Sewn and cast upon the ochre ash baize;
Shards slanderous, prosaic splinters,
Obituaries embroidered, solely trough grace.
Sheathed beneath fey
Fallow heath;
Ever reclining, ne'er still,
Ether let heathers, tore, tread an' scorn,
Wheaten wore sought, tethered ought-
Shorn, praised amidst, timorous gaze,
Obituaries embroidered, solely trough grace.
Sheathed beneath fey
Fallow heath;
Ever reclining, ne'er still.
When the world is fast asleep
not me, I think and think and think
how can I be more unique
more I think, and think and think
how will they remember me?
how can I change it, more differently?
how can I push and challenge me?
now that my mind is unlocked and free
the new sun rises and startles me
my trance is broken, my awakening
The new dawn rises, surprises surprises
thankful to the twin gods, Isis and Osiris
for removing all the sins of my past lies
that was bringing me down to my demise
The balance, my chalice, now undisturbed
its order is hanging by my good word
I do not wish to go unheard
but who is there to hear me
when my thoughts are stirred?
In a sense of peace
drop to my knees
look up to the heavens
they're smiling down on me
how can I repay them?
what is my creed?
I rise now awakened
revived in my belief.
This new born day I celebrate your souls release from guilt n' captivity since that day you
felt a carnal touch of sin within as your hands played poetically upon the curves of your dead
lover's silken skin…
I know now you made your way to the top of the rocks to plant a tree to guard this sacred
place where I fell from thee n' you repeated the poetic chant of love's abandoning to follow
me into our karmic destiny…
On that fateful day your soul bled away at the top of this crest by a solitary juvenile tree,
your body of words fell to the rocks at the base of this cliff, embroidered into the blood of
The one who would hold a feather to her face on this crest by the sea n' remember finally
the days gone by of you n' me, our deaths from love's abandoning when you my love were
lost to this world n' me for ten centuries…
I now await destiny as we will love forever more with immortal hearts…
The wrothful man has regotiated his saliency,
The humble man has neglected his post of "Your Excellency",
Let the pirate look through my one eye of transpareency,
Hope my superman sings along to those dracula's frequencies,
These are not Bulls written in pure fantasy,
Our fleur-de-lis and its very ecstacy,
Not meant for agilely minded Perverts,
Spliffs meant for Godly minds,exhalling Wisdom and Truth.. Selah
Reading to the salient ears of age,
Your teeth gleaning this vast ears of corn,
Seeing men's rage shorten their years,
Or what your ladies who smiled at my no-beard-style have become,
Easy skanking is what my ears hear,
A tip of God given talents,
Many a quail showering my Sweet Heart with "Works so excellent",
God breathes his creative spirit to minds We call "Salient", Selah
This poem covers the greatest story ever told
Greater than all the kings and all their gold
This story will bring about deep reflection
Starting with the Immaculate Conception
Of all the stories this is the greatest of all
A complex child born in a simple stall
Quickly the news covered the land
A virgin would be Gods right hand
Inside of her womb a God to a son
Imagine this story has just begun
Everyone knew this child was born to design
Just open your heart and look for the sign
Harrod was driven by fear of not being so great
The first-born son was Harrods fate
Jesus escaped the King and awaited the call
To become the greatest glory of all
This is my master this is our Lord
He is the wielder and we are the sword
He chose his disciples of simple men
Hear tell one was straight out of the pen
The Pharisees called on Pilot the king
At the end he said, "I wash my hands of this thing"
I wonder if when Pilot stepped up to the gate
Jesus washed his hands to seal Pilots fate
Or if he opened his arms to welcome him in
Forgiving Pilot of all of his sins
We took our Lord then nailed him to the cross
As far as humanity that was our greatest loss
But through all the loss just look at the gain
Bought by our Lord through sacrifice and pain
Over 2000 years after this child was born
He came to the prison to make my heart warm
Gave me a gift then our Lord set me free
I reckon the rest would be up to me
As you dress up the tree and hang up the lights
Think of the story of our Lords plight

Champion of mine
Last night..I didn't believe her, and I am still trying to wrap my mind around life without you here. I feel robbed of moments, an unfair reality of distance and time. I don't know why I didn't write more…
I am so glad I traveled to see you two years ago. Nothing will ever touch those weeks suspended in summer air. I marvel at your stories of you getting in your plane and flying out of state for the day simply because you were bored. A man of no boundaries. Some people live their whole life never seeing lightning strike.
I remember country roads, me sitting on your lap behind the wheel my feet barely dangled beyond the edge of seat, but you let me believe I was driving us home. It was at your house that I learned how to catch fireflies and sit around a bonfire with sticks in the flames. I was your Tomcat :) because I hiked mountains and got dirt on my knees just like the boys. And when I got hurt, you would set me your knee and kiss my hand as if to write every wrong this world presented.
I will always remember the way you embraced me, I swore one day your beard would rub my face off. When you greeted me you would ask "How's my heart doctor doing today?"..As if someday I could fix you. I wish I had the medicine. I wish I could hold your hand again. I need your biting humor. Your stern voice. I need you, because my son needs to know you. Selfish, yes I am being selfish, I needed you to hold on just a little longer, until I visit one more time. But if loving means letting you go free..then you don't have to worry about me clinging to regret..you are free to rest..in the deepest peace.
We all love you so much Grandpa. Until next time.

Dance to this Beat & Hold Lover Close.......3 Reviews
This chapter is where Ryan and Lynne become VERY intimate....ohh and day 2 of tour.....Enjoy!!
Suddenly, Ryan came into her dressing room. He closed and locked the door behind him. He wanted to be alone with his girlfriend. Ryan then walked over to Lynne and kissed her on the neck. He then kissed her passionately on the lips. She stood-up from the chair that she was sitting on and wrapped her arms around Ryan. His hands were sliding down her back as they continued to make-out.
After awhile, Lynne pulled away and looked at her boyfriend. She smiled and blushed a little. They were on-tour now, so they knew that they couldn't be too intimate when other people were around. Both in-love and both hating the fact that they couldn't be making-out 24/7, they had to 'hide' and kiss between sets.
"Baby, stop, you know we can't do that here," said Lynne to Ryan.
"I know, but I want to," said Ryan as he kissed Lynne passionately once again.
"Don't you kiss have to kiss go on-stage kiss soon?" asked Lynne.
She giggled, but tried to stay serious.
"Yea, but not for 5 more minutes," replied Ryan.
"5 MINUTES!!" said Nicole outside the dressing room.
"We'd better get going then," said Lynne.
She kissed Ryan once more and took his hand. They walked out of the dressing room, holding hands. Lynne had on Ryan's zip-up hoodie, because the hallway to the stage was cold. Nicole made sure that the air-conditioning was on, because the guys get hot on-stage.
"Are you guys ready?" asked Nicole to Panic.
"We're SO READY!! Let's do this thing!!" said Brendon excitingly.
Nicole laughed and opened the door to the stage. She took a microphone and handed it to Lynne. Both Lynne and Delilah walked on-stage.
"Hello my darlings," said Lynne into the microphone.
She giggled when the audience cheered and asked the audience,"Do you want to see the boys?" She giggled again and announced, "That's what I thought. It's with great pleasure to present to you, PANIC! @ THE DISCO!!!!!!"
The guys walked on-stage just as she said that. She ran off-stage to grab the props for ACT 1.
The first song was 'Build God, Then We'll Talk.'
She and Delilah were twirling each other around and poising for the fans with cameras. Delilah walked over to Brendon and wrapped a silk scarf around him. Trying to 'seduce' him. As rehearsed, it didn't work.
Lynne brought out a chair and started to do stunts on it. She would stand on-top of it and try to 'steal' the show, but again as scripted, it didn't work.
The song ended and the next song was 'Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off.'
Lynne and Ryan started to dance together. A surprise guest guitarist by the name of, Pete Wentz, came-out on-stage and started to play guitar.
Ryan and Lynne were dancing all sexual and being all intimate. The audience loved it! To be funny, Brendon walked over to the happy couple and broke-up their dance.
"Dude, that's my sister," said Brendon.
Lynne giggled and said "But Brendon!! He's cute!!"
The audience laughed and so did the band.
"Let's get these teens' hearts beating faster, faster, so Testatorne Boys and Harliquen Girls, will you dance to this beat, uhh separately?" sang Brendon. Ryan laughed, grabbed Lynne and sang "And hold a lover close?"
The concert continued on and everyone loved it. It was now intermission. The other harletts were out on-stage, they gave Delilah and Lynne a break for the night, since they had to do a lot more stunts. The performers alternated their performances like that, so everyone wouldn't be exhausted all the time.
Lynne was sitting on Ryan's lap and Delilah was sitting on Patrick's lap, they were sitting on the same couch together. Brendon, Pete, and the rest of the band were sitting on separate chairs and couchs. Lynne and Ryan were sharing a Monster Energy Drink.
Delilah turned on the radio and Fall Out Boy's new song 'This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race' came on and the two girls started to dance with each other. The guys laughed and Patrick started singing.
"This is normal for them, they dance to our songs, even when we're not performing," said Brendon.
They got the call to go back on-stage to finish the show. They did so and the rest of the show when amazing. Afterwards Panic! and Fall Out Boy decided to go to a club. At the club Ryan,Lynne, and Pete were all grinding together, in that order. They were all drinking, too. They were dancing with fans that were there, also.

I had this issue on Plesk 10.4.4 running on Centos 6.
There is a fix, I don't know why the rep didn't update this thread. For those of you who haven't found the fix but did find this post, here's the fix(es) : http://kb.parallels.com/en/112887
Apparently there are several issues that can cause this error... having to manually fix them is annoying, but does work. If you are not comfortable making the change in the database, contact your hosting provider and see if they can lend a hand.

Political Action
It's a fact of life that every decision that affects education is a political decision. That's why the ISEA has developed a comprehensive program to help make public education issues an important part of the campaigns of candidates at all levels. Through our political action arm, ISEA-PAC, Association members interview candidates about their views on education-related issues, issue recommendations on which candidates are most supportive of public education, and work to help get pro-education candidates elected.
Your voluntary contribution to our political action arm, ISEA-PAC, gives us the strength and political influence we need to make a difference for students and public education in Iowa. It helps us elect candidates who have their priorities straight and who are willing to back up their talk with positive action.What's more, ISEA-PAC contributions help us help Iowans get beyond the campaign rhetoric and better understand what's really at stake.
Here's how ISEA-PAC works: We use an extensive interview and recommendation process to identify candidates who truly support educators and public education. Then, we disseminate that information to help our members -- and the public -- make informed decisions on election day.
If you have questions about ISEA-PAC, contact Brad Hudson.

It was a normal Wednesday night. George Kibling says he was closing up shop and waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up."When she pulled up, she had noticed there was a gentleman across the street," said Kibling."I told him somebody was walking from over there in the parking lot and he went behind the building, "said Tara Minarsich.It was behavior Kibling called questionable since it was so late at night."We had thought that maybe he was watching us again to break back into the Pizza Joynt. We had seen him coming out from the old pizza joint, now a church and he was walking through the old Mr. Bills parking lot. He proceeded from there to go through to the Cambridge apartment parking lot," said Kibling.That's when Kipling says he notified police as he pursued the suspicious man on foot."He kept looking back to see if anybody was following him really suspiciously. It was 65 degrees and he had a hoodie pulled over like it was winter time," said Kibling.Kipling says the suspect ducked around the corner of this garage and the chase continued. He had gotten to tenth street and west up here and that's when he started running across the street. Just as the suspect started to get out of sight, Kipling says police pulled up. He pointed them in the direction of the suspicious man and walked home hoping that was the guy."I felt like, well I hope to God I'm not wrong," said Kibling.It turns out he wasn't wrong. He got a call from a Milan officer thanking him for his help."I felt honored to be able to help them and the area businesses so they can go to sleep at night knowing their property is safe," said Kibling.

TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings
Six nights ago, the Wings went into STL on a damn ugly two-game skid, and the prospects for the Wings season were dire. DET looked like world-beaters at STL, winning 5-1 and starting a season high three game win streak they skate into The Joe with tonight. Things couldn't be worse for STL. The Blues stormed out of the gate, 6-1 in January, but since that time are 0-4-1. In their last four contests (all at home), they've been thrashed: 1-6 to NSH, 1-5 to DET, 5-6 (SO) to ANA, and 1-4 to LAK. STL have a league-best, ridiculously good, PP; and DET's PK is fourth worst in the league. LGRW Continue reading "GDT - Game 13: Red Wings (7-4-1) host Blues (6-5-1) 7:30"

This Stock Might Not Be Fun Anymore
Dan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Cedar Fair (NYSE: FUN) has been a lot of fun for investors over the past three years, as the stock has appreciated approximately 270% over that time frame. But this hasn't been quite as impressive as Six Flags (NYSE: SIX), which has gone up nearly 365% over the same period. However, past results do not guarantee future success, so let's look ahead.
More fun for park visitors
Through June 23 (the early season for theme parks), Cedar Fair reported solid improvement over last year. These improvements include a 20% increase in season pass sales, a 1% increase in attendance, a 4% jump in guest spending, a 5% increase in out-of-park revenue, and an overall net revenue increase of 5%.
Cedar Fair cited strong marketing and execution for the strong performance. Management also reaffirmed its revenue guidance of $1.09 billion to $1.12 billion for the year. This would mark its fourth consecutive increase in annual revenue.
Consumer exposure
Cedar Fair owns and operates 11 amusement parks, four outdoor water parks, one indoor water park, and five hotels. These properties can be found in Ohio, Toronto, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, and California. This geographic diversification is important because one local economy could be outperforming another. For instance, if real estate is performing well in California, then many consumers are likely to increase spending. And if the banking industry is suffering in Charlotte, then those close to Carowinds might be more reluctant to open their wallets.
In addition to a nice array of parks throughout the United States and Canada, Cedar Fair's Cedar Point in Ohio was also rated, "Best Amusement Park in the World" by Amusement Today. There's a pretty good chance you have never heard of Amusement Today unless you work in the industry, but Cedar Point is thought to be a top-rated amusement park by many sources.
Cedar Fair advantages
Cedar Fair might be a seasonal operation, but most of its employees are also seasonal and work for minimum wage without benefits. This keeps costs low.
According to Glassdoor.com, employees have rated their employer a 3.1 of 5. This isn't a spectacular (about average), but considering the pay structure, it's a great number. And those with more involved roles have rated CEO, Matthew Ouimet, very high, giving him a 94% approval rating.
Comparatively, Six Flags employees have rated their employer a 3.0 of 5. This is similar to Cedar Fair. However, CEO James Reid-Anderson has only received an approval rating of 67%, which is surprising considering the company's turnaround.
Six Flags vs. peers
Six Flags and SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE: SEAS) are both trading at around 40 times earnings, making both more expensive than Six Flags at 10 times earnings. Six Flags is also the most efficient company with a profit margin of 37%, compared to Cedar Fair and SeaWorld both owning profit margins just shy of 6%.
Furthermore, Cedar Fair and SeaWorld own debt-to-equity ratios of 73.61 and 4.40, respectively. Therefore, Cedar Fair's generous dividend payments aren't likely to be sustainable, it currently yields 5.90%. SeaWorld yields a more manageable 2.10%.
Six Flags owns a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.34, and it currently yields 5%. So it will also be difficult for Six Flags to maintain its dividends, especially if growth slows. And that just might happen.
As you might already know, a woman fell out of an unsecured rollercoaster ride, The Texas Giant, at Six Flags Over Texas. Not only was the protection bar faulty, but the rider apparently questioned the safety of the bar to a rollercoaster operator and she was told not to worry.
Some may say it was just an one accident out of millions of park visitors, but it's still one too many. It should have an impact on the industry and especially Six Flags. Many people who considered visiting an amusement park will now stay away. Unfortunately, Cedar Fair may also be affected, though it did nothing wrong.
SeaWorld should be the least affected by the tragedy, because it doesn't rely heavily on thrill rides. Instead it relies on its namesake brand, water parks, Discovery Cove, and Sesame Place. With the exception of Discovery Cove, all of these locations are more about guests walking around and looking at attractions, opposed to actual participation. SeaWorld does own Busch Gardens, but the affect should be minimal considering the brand's stellar safety record.
After the tragic incident at Six Flags, the industry could see some difficult times due to the likelihood of lower traffic throughout the remainder of the summer. Cedar Fair is likely to be affected but at a slightly lesser extent. SeaWorld, on the other hand, should only be affected minimally, which makes SeaWorld the safest investment in this space at the moment.
