Tricia O'Neil Movies and Career Information
Mar 11, 1945
Tricia O'Neil (born March 11, 1945) is an American actress. Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, O'Neil began her career as a model and cover girl before turning to acting. She first appeared in television commercials, then was cast many popular television series. She played Dr. Maggie "Mo" Sullivan in the early, first season episode "Black Day at Bad Rock" of The A-Team (NBC, 1983), and was popular enough to be one of the very few guest characters to return in a later episode (the second season episode "Deadly Maneuveres", 1983). Other appearances include Hart To Hart (1979, ABC), as female stunt woman "Charlie" in the episode of the same name in the first season of The Fall Guy (1981, ABC), Remington Steele (1982), as a pushy reporter in the second season episode "Catch Of The Day" in Riptide, (1984, NBC), and as the owner of a travelling Wild West Rodeo show in the third season Airwolf episode "Annie Oakley" (1985). She portrayed the first (and so far only) female captain of an Enterprise-series starship (NCC-1701-C) in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987, syndicated), in the episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". She guest starred on Star Trek:DS9 as Cardassian Korinas in the episode

Topics: Politics, Health Reform, States
Mar 12, 2012
GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum continues to attack rival Mitt Romney's Massachusetts' health reform record, arguing that it weakens his ability to run against President Barack Obama, and candidate Newt Gingrich also is not escaping the criticism.
The Washington Post: Santorum Steps Up Attacks On Romney's Massachusetts Record
In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Santorum told host David Gregory that Romney has sought to mislead voters about what his position on health-care reform was when he was governor of Massachusetts. "Governor Romney in the state of Massachusetts mandated every person in Massachusetts had to buy health care," Santorum said (Sonmez, 3/11).
Boston Globe: Santorum Says Romney Untruthful On Health Law
"Governor Romney actually advocated for the Massachusetts model that President Obama adopted with mandates, and then went out on the campaign trail and repeatedly didn't tell the truth,"' the former Pennsylvania senator said on NBC's "Meet the Press" (Schoenberg, 3/12).
CNN: Santorum Blasts Gingrich Over 'Romneycare'
Saturday, fresh off his projected win in the Kansas caucuses, Santorum added that GOP presidential rival Newt Gingrich is "honestly not a whole lot better." "For 20 years when I was pushing medical savings accounts, he was pushing a federal mandate for health insurance," Santorum said. "And when 'Romneycare' passed, he sent out a glowing statement talking about how this wonderful bill had just passed in Massachusetts" (Welch, 3/10).
The Hill: Health Care Issues Will Be A Heavy Lift For Romney Against President Obama
[A]s an Obama-Romney matchup becomes increasingly likely, so does the prospect that Republicans won't be able to aggressively campaign against a law that helped propel their historic wins in 2010 — and hasn't gotten much more popular since (Baker, 3/10).
Reuters: Analysis: Romney Is Clear Favorite Of Washington Lobbyists
Apart from the financial industry, most notable was the connection of many Romney donors to healthcare. The industry awaits drastic changes from Obama's signature healthcare reform that is scheduled to kick into full gear in 2013. ... Several of Romney's donors came from the drug lobby and work for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and makers of medicines and medical devices (Selyukh and Cohen, 3/9).
The Associated Press: Romney Used Private Email Accounts As Governor
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and some of his top aides used private email accounts to conduct state business at times when Romney was governor of Massachusetts, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The communications were legal ... Some of the emails obtained by AP describe Romney's internal deliberations on his health care policy (Braun, 3/9).

In the past few days, I've been noticing articles, Facebook updates, emails and conversations about women, particularly black women, and our love/hate relationships with each other. I feel particularly engaged by this subject because I'm a firm believer that women need to support each other in order to reach our full potential. I would go crazy without my girls! Who understands the headwinds we face each day better than another woman? The tension between women comes from the damaged self-image we have that tells that we should feel threatened by anyone who has something we don't have. Instead of looking at each other and seeing ourselves, we look at each other and see what we are not. And just like that, in the flash of a side eye, judgment is passed: "She thinks she's cute" / "She's ghetto" /"She's weird" /"She's a hoe" /"She's stuck up" . We look for flaws in other women to make us feel better about ourselves. We believe the hype that most women are dishonorable and can't be trusted. We try to avoid hate by hating.
Here comes the conspiracy theory: I think this miseducation is a strategic plot against us. Why should I hate my sister? Is she not made of the same stuff that I am? Why should I cancel her out and write her off? So we can be weakened and divided by fear, that's why. If just one of us is able to disassociate from the fear stories that tell us we should judge each other in order to feel safe, then that one person can start spreading a new attitude and enhance the unity of the whole group.

What's the problem here? Is women-hating-women really a major concern?
Feminine presentation for trans women is a life or death Issue
[Tami's note: Last week, while we were talking about privilege here on What Tami Said, I read this article by Monica. It helped to highlight a privilege I have as a cisgendered woman: I can choose to embrace or reject some societal standards of femininity and beauty without much concern for my safety or acceptance. I had never considered that before--that my nails are almost never "done" and often bitten and that I haven't worn pantyhose in years and that I rarely wear heels (though I love a good pair of hot, high-heeled boots)--but my eschewing all these societal markers of femininity is okay, because people are unlikely to challenge my womanhood. Thanks to Monica for continuing to be a voice for her trans brothers and sisters, ensuring that their voices are heard.]
written by guest contributor Monica Roberts; originally posted at TransGriot and Global Comment
My cisgender girlfriends tease me sometimes about the amount of time I spend perfecting my feminine presentation. They will also needle me about the lengths I will go to ensure it is as flawless as I can humanly make it.
But if they walked in my pumps for a minute, they would look at it in a fundamentally different way and understand why I and other transwomen place so much importance on a flawless as possible feminine presentation.
I know how to apply my makeup to compliment my face and own a set of makeup brushes to do so. I experiment with new ways and various color combinations to create my various looks. I own three makeup books for African American women that I refer to on a regular basis. One is written by Oprah's Emmy winning makeup artist Reggie Wells, another is by makeup artist Sam Fine, and my third is one authored by Patricia Hinds for ESSENCE magazine. I go to the nail shop twice a month to have manicures and pedicures done and keep a few bottles of my favorite nail polish shades at home to touch nit up between visits. I keep my eyebrows plucked, waxed and arched and do relentless maintenance on it. I ensure that any body hair that shows up on my legs, arms and underarms is expeditiously removed. One of the first things I did when I started transition in 1994 was spend countless hours and cash in my electrologist's chair getting my face zapped. I'm planning to get laser done to hit the areas that stubbornly will not die when my cash flow improves.
In addition to stuffing myself in foundation garments, every now and then I indulge myself and get some of my bras and panties at Victoria's Secret on sale. (My inner Taurus still refuses to pay full price for them.)
I get my hair done and in between trips to the beauty shop I have a wig collection that is approaching Regine Hunter levels. My shoe collection is constantly evolving and expanding, and I can comfortably walk and stand in heels up to 3 inches in height. I do it so well that I once had a cisgender female co-worker ask me if I could teach her how to walk in heels.
I'm always on the lookout for fashionable clothes and accessories to go with them at reasonable prices. And yes, I shop for pantyhose in various shades and styles to complement and complete my look.
Even though I'm 15 years into my transition, I make sure my feminine deportment and gestures are on point, I'm speaking using a feminine speech pattern and maintaining a feminine pitch level.Much of the rationale behind me doing this is because of my speaking engagements, Trans 101 presentations and lobbying. I'm also considered a role model in the trans community as well and the image I project to others is important to me and the community I represent.
Another reason is I simply wanted to be the best woman I can be and I enjoy reveling in my divatude. When you grow up in the wrong body, you tend to appreciate that suppressed femininity more when you finally get the chance to openly express it and live your life. But one of the other reasons I'm so diligent about it is because in the back of mind, even though I'm consciously making the choice of projecting my evolving femininity in this way, I'm cognizant that performing my feminine gender presentation as flawlessly as possible impacts my life.

Naomi Campbell Thinks Sprinting is Elegant
Despite the balding issue that bombarded her last week, Naomi Campbell enjoyed herself during the Olympics proceedings in London. In fact, she even hosted a charity event called Fashion for Relief in Mayfair last week.
And it seems the Olympic fever has also affected her because in her recent interview with Vogue magazine in Britain she said that she wishes to be an Olympic sprinter! Can you imagine her as one? Although Naomis reason was more aesthetic than athletic; you see, she wants to be one because it looks so elegant according to her. But shes confident she can hold her own!

Last year required several Saturday morning trips to the state Capitol to catch up on desk work. Each time, state Rep. Bobby Franklin and two or three of his like-minded friends beat me there.
Though we had enjoyed a modest friendship over the past seven years, we never talked on those weekend occasions. Primarily because Franklin and his small band had duct-taped their mouths shut in a silent protest against abortion. The fact that Franklin neither sought — nor received — any press attention for these vigils, held outside whether rain or shine, wasn't unusual.
It was just part of his daily regimen, Bobby being Bobby.
A private burial for Franklin, a 14-year veteran of the state Capitol, was held Friday. A public memorial service will be held Monday morning in Cumming.
Even if it's not so stated from the pulpit, the theme of the service will be the ultimate loneliness of a man who put the purity of his politics above nearly everything else.
So far as we know, the 56-year-old, divorced Republican from Marietta went to bed on a Friday, after complaining of chest pains. No one came looking for him until Tuesday morning.
In person, Franklin was as kind and soft-spoken as his bookish countenance advertised. But he was a difficult man to live with in the state Capitol. And probably outside, too.
Perhaps the most conservative lawmaker in the Capitol, Franklin was a thorn in the side of three House speakers, famous for using the red "no" button on his desk more than any of his colleagues.
Some called him Dr. No. At one point, only half in jest, he donned the mask of the Lone Ranger. "What he believed in — there was no compromise," said Pat Gartland, a friend and former head of the Georgia Christian Coalition. He was the one to knock on Franklin's door Tuesday.
This past year. Franklin introduced the first 21 bills of the legislative session. Not that many of them moved. There was a bill to permit guns in church. Another to do away with driver's licenses. Women were angered by his proposed change to the state's rape law that would have replaced the word "victim" with "accuser."
Franklin's most cherished piece of legislation was a state constitutional amendment to bestow the title of human being on every union of sperm and egg.
Critics said it would have subjected women who miscarried to criminal investigations. It never passed committee muster. But if you rang Franklin's house, his answering machine would thank you for calling to congratulate him on the wisdom of his "personhood" legislation. And then it would beep.
Yet it wasn't just the left that the devout Presbyterian aggravated. "Even the tea party got alienated from him, because he'd tell them where they were screwing up," Gartland said.
In 2010, Georgia Right to Life pushed a bill to make it a crime for doctors to perform abortions on women who seek the procedure because of the race or gender of the fetus. Franklin opposed it, arguing that it amounted to a back-handed acceptance of abortion in cases where race and sex discrimination weren't involved. The bill failed.
It is hard to explain why the unexpected death of such a contrarian sparked not even a hint of celebration from his traditional opponents. But House Democratic Leader Stacey Abrams, an African-American, took a crack at it, in a WABE (90.1FM) interview.
"I never found Bobby to be anything other than thoughtful and respectful about his position," Abrams said. 'It was never mean and never hostile, and it was always, I think, well-intentioned."
Abrams, when away from the Capitol, writes romantic suspense novels aimed at black women. Only two of her 235 colleagues in the Capitol have read every one of her books. "One of them was Bobby Franklin," she said. "I would get a report on each one."
Franklin's high-water mark came in 2003. With Sonny Perdue as the new governor, the Legislature was in a furious debate over his proposal to hold a statewide referendum on whether Georgia should return to the 1956 state flag and its Confederate battle emblem.
From the House press gallery, I'd spotted an image on the laptop that sat upon Franklin's desk — an attractive rendering of an older non-volatile Georgia flag based on the Stars and Bars. When I approached Franklin, he shut the laptop and politely asked me to keep my mouth shut for a few days. I did.
The Franklin flag became the immediate ancestor of the one that flies above every school and courthouse in the state. The design was altered in the Senate by George Hooks, a Democrat from Americus. The phrase "In God We Trust" was stripped from the white stripe. In typical fashion, when the flag bill returned to the House for a final vote, Franklin voted "no."
Bobby Franklin had become something of a recluse recently. He'd lost his bookkeeping job last year, and was living on a skeletal legislator's salary.
Gartland and his wife adopted him. "I just appreciated someone taking a stand and not waiting to stick his finger up in the air," Gartland said.
Franklin was in good spirits that last Friday. He'd landed some work. And he had been given a look at a new map of his House district. House Republican leaders, he feared, would punish him by filling his district with new and unfamiliar voters.
"Friday, when he called me, he said they didn't do much to his district. So he was happy. He was flying high," Gartland said. Thus, Franklin went to bed happy.
Four days later, when police arrived, they would find the state flag that he inspired — and voted against — hanging from his front porch.

I didn't know Representative Franklin well, but as a young lobbyist at the Capitol, he was someone I watched. I would sometimes get to the Capitol early and encounter him in the Clerk's Office getting a cup of Robby's coffee. "Mornin'" I would chirp.
"Mornin', how are you today?"
"I'm well, how are you?"
"I'm blessed" he would reply.

Bobby Franklin was a giant — in faith, in intellect, in fidelity, in so much more. We came to be friends as we worked on the Constitutional Tender Act together — and I learned that if a majority of State legislators would only vote the Constitutional and Biblical way he voted, our State — and probably our nation — could be turned away from the coming destruction.
I know that Bobby is in the presence of Jesus now, and rejoicing forevermore. He exemplified Philippians 1:21: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Have a glorious Home-going, Bobby. I will miss you — I'm sitting here crying as I type this — but I will share your joy in full one day.
And I would be remiss in Bobby's eyes if I didn't ask YOU, the person reading this, two simple questions: Have you come to the place in YOUR spiritual life where YOU know for *certain* that if you were to die today, you'd go to heaven? And if you *were* to die today — as Bobby can testify, it can happen to young and old — and you were to stand before God, and He were to say to you, "WHY should I let you into my heaven"… What would you say?
Bobby answered the first question with a resounding YES (1 John 5:13) — and he answered the second question with a resounding, "Because I'm trusting in JESUS CHRIST ALONE for eternal life" (John 14:6). And Jesus has now answered back to Bobby: "Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord" (Matt. 25:21).

Bill, I don't agree with your or Rep. Franklin's political or religious views (the rest of us aren't as terrible as you may think). The piece leaves me sad. Though it makes me feel the need to try to look beyond what I see in "the papers."
July 30th, 2011
6:13 pm
Sorry, but I have no lost love for Bobby Franklin. He put his own personal views above those of the citizens and pretty much told everyone he disagreed with which side of hades they could go to. I won't argue that he was a decent man, but politically I thought he was the pits and very much anti-women and much closer to Sharia attitudes than Christian attitudes in how he viewed people.
July 30th, 2011

It is rather difficult to argue with your claim of "loneliness". Four days, huh. And divorced. The price a puritan pays perhaps?

Funny, they call Ron Paul a political purist as well. He certainly has held unwavering principled stands for his entire political career and has on more than likely hundreds of occasions been the only person in the House voting against an unconstitional piece of legislation and yet here he is in this 3rd run for the white house and his national support have never been greater. He has hundreds of thousands of supporters who give freely of both their time and money to support the principles and the ideas he espouses.
Mr. Franklin may have been a political purist, but maybe it is the ideas you support and the way you communicate your message that leaves you "lonely." Frankly I have read about some of his positions since his death and some sound very constitutional, very principled, and greatly in support of liberty and freedom (no, definitely not all of them). Maybe it was the inconsistency in his principles (something that plagues MOST so-called conservatives) that alienated so many.
July 30th, 2011
9:08 pm
Franklin represented the views of his district. He was an honorable and faithful man.
The overpowering urge to demonize even the dead with whom you disagree is a sign of the poverty of your politics and the incivility of your society.

9:44 pm
I knew Bobby many years ago as a nice guy. A man of a certain kind of faith, but not my kind. Obviously pretty narrow. Not an intellectual giant, but definitely a thoughtful fellow and a considerate one. A man of principle, whose principles weren't based on a wide spectrum of shades of gray. He will be missed for his goodness and his way of looking at things from a different perspective.

I worked as an assistant doorkeeper at the Capitol for ten years. I never met Rep. Franklin personally but knew he was a very decent man and I respected him. Concerning how he died.. going to bed happy and not waking up to a believer IS HEAVEN. None of us have a vote on "this issue", but if we did I know Rep. Bobby Franklin would have joined all the House this last time and voted Yes to the peaceful way he died. Reminds me of a saying that I think is fitting in his sudden death. …. …"THE WAR IS OVER. IT HAS BEEN WON. THE ENEMY HAS BEEN DEFEATED. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE VICTORY. WE ARE SET FREE NOT BY HOW WE BEHAVE BUT BY WHAT WE BELIEVE."

Bobby was a great guy. While some would disagree with his tactics, his positions were his convictions and most conservatives would agree with them if they were to truly vote their conscious. Like his Legislation or not, no one who knew Bobby would say that he was an unkind man. He will be missed down at the Capitol and in Cobb County.

Didn't know Bobby and wasn't in his district but I kinda like all three of those. Especially the victim/accuser change. Many of these gals who claim to have been raped are just after money, particularly when the accused has it. NY hotel maid/IMF chief being a prime example.

Bill: ".. and I learned that if a majority of State legislators would only vote the Constitutional and Biblical way he voted, our State — and probably our nation — could be turned away from the coming destruction."

I've enjoyed the AJC trying for the past week to deify a hater, a zealot, a nutcase and someone who wanted to control the lives and bodies of all of us. You can put earrings on a pig, but it's still a pig. Franklin was a Christian Taliban, and the Legislature is better off without him. I would have preferred his district have realized how insane he was and voted him out, however. Don't wish an early death for anyone. But the efforts of the past week to make him into something he wasn't just because he's dead? Sad, guys.

The true measure of a man is how tall he will stand when alone and in this measure Rep. Franklin excelled. I am hoping Mr. Galloway means well with this editorial, but readers may get the impression that being a political "purist" is not good. Well, folks, it is just the opposite and if anything, proves that the grass root citizens of this nation need to speak a little louder and show the politically impure that we want our nation back.

When I last ran for Governor, he was the only Geogia legislator willing to have me in his office and listen to me try to convince him that electing me Governor was the only way to break the logjam Satan has created in this nation. I wept when I heard he had died.

Franklin was a theocrat. You cannot be a theocrat, yet hold yourself out as someone who defends and protects the Constitution, as the two are wholly incompatible.

Didn't know Franklin. And I'm not from his district. But …. you have to sit up and take notice when every article you read about him after his demise is positive regarding his "taking a stand."- regardless of political party or stature. May he rest in peace. And even more (as I'm sure he would have agreed), may we enjoy even more public servants like him in the future.

Thank you xamerican and progressive peach for giving the proper description of this crackpot. It is truly amazing how the rubes in this state idolize nut cases and haters while constantly vilifying true Christians like Jimmy Carter, Dr King, et al.

Tom is right ie… a theocrat is an enemy of liberty and the constitution and remember the bible is not the law of the land nor is it mentioned in the constitution. WE are a free nation not a christian one.

I'd like to know if Auntie Christ remembers the main plank of Jimmy Carter's campaign for Governor. He promised to bring George Wallace over from Alabama to speak to the Georgia legislature if he got elected. Which is exactly what he did. Carter and King, like all of us, had their faults … as did Bobby Franklin. It's the arrogant know-it-alls who point fingers with such assurance.

Bobby Franklin was not a man I agreed with politically very often – indeed, I called him out a number of times on my blog.
But when I was working some particular pieces and needed some data, he was one of the most reliable people to turn to for getting it – and this was AFTER I had blistered him pretty well. He was just that nice of a man.
Many of Bobby's positions were, quite frankly, dangerous in a number of ways – yet this was the very antithesis of the man. Even when pretty well any man in the State would have been about to deck a man, I genuinely don't think Bobby ever even CONSIDERED the thought.
In the end though, I think Rep Franklin came to be a lesson to us all – at the end of the day, you can choose your family or the world. Choose Wisely.

July 2007, US House of Representatives, Washington D.C.
I seated Bobby Franklin in the gallery next to Jim Galloway during Congressman Paul Broun swearing in. On the front page of Sunday's AJC was a photo of other ultra-conservatives … (then State Reps) Tom Graves and Martin Scott congratulating the new Congressman Broun.
Bobby was loved the most by the Freedom and Liberty crowd; and hated the most by the progressive and utra-liberty crowd.
Under the Gold Dome, he worked tirelessly in a hornets nest, was stung every day. In great pain and suffering during his defense of the Constitution and the Original Intent. He began to anticipate the RINO and liberal antagonism, and let people know where they stand with him, especially after they sell out.
An honest man under the Gold Dome is a rare find, and indeed a great loss.

Why are you whitewashing the history of this hateful man? He wished for the death of us ga_y people. I dare say ill toast the death of this weasel. Good riddance! I hope he suffered. A lot.

Though Mr. Franklin is now with G-d, as each of us is in passing, the errors in his theology might have been mended had he, as a patriot, studied the writings of our anointed Author, Founder, and Prophet, Thomas Jefferson. It is the least any intelligent American seeking understanding, should do; and a demand the Electorate should make of any candidate for holy elected office.
While his imperfect understanding of the perfect, eternal, infinite and ineffable Creator led him to some false, though sincerely held, positions, he was correct about our money system and the present need to restore constitutional money, as President Kennedy attempted until "removed from office."
One must wonder, had we single-payer health insurance, as we ought, might Mr. Franklin, no doubt lacking health insurance, have sought help for the archetypical heart symptoms he experienced, rather than foregoing the shame and embarrassment of seeking care at a charity facility and instead went to sleep knowing, in faith, his near destination we all shall face one day.
Ignorance is neither a luxury nor affordable. It shall gain only our national demise if not corrected.
May his children be blessed.

Bobby Franklin may indeed have been a very nice gentleman who was consistent in his principles. I, however, would not want to live in the semi-secular world he wanted to bring into being, one in which women who miscarried would be subject to criminal investigation and those who did not share his Christian beliefs would be forced to live under a flag of his making. His vision was anathema to the concept of democracy. Let him rest in peace. Let him be remembered as a kind man. But make no mistake—a political world created by Bobby Franklin would be hell on earth for many citizens.
July 31st, 2011
9:32 pm
The Old Sectarian Order, much of Mr. Franklin's views better accommodated, was displaced by The Founders "Novus Ordo Seclorum," The New Secular Order. This is the Roman Anti-Christ's goal, to repeal our revolution and reinstate history's default order, caesaropapism. Southern politicians' supporting the same historic political entity for which General Sherman was working, that which Mr. Jefferson correctly identified as "the real Anti-Christ," is ironic at best. True Americans, but particularly Baptists and Freemasons, White and Black, should know better.

One of the comments above calls Bobby a fascist. Xamerican person should look up the word 'fascism' in the dictionary. It means something other than someone winning an argument with a liberal.
August 1st, 2011
9:21 am
Though Bobby may not have thought of himself as a fascist, those wishing to violate the spirit of individual sovereignty at the center of American Exceptionalism, by denying a woman control over her own body and reproduction, are playing into the hands of that which Our Founder, Thomas Jefferson, identified as "an engine for enslaving mankind," whose operative symbol is the Fasces: the Roman Anti-Christ, "de facto" fascism.

An outstanding piece of writing. I rarely if ever agreed with his stands on the issues but he was someone who believed passionately about the issues and practiced his beliefs.
August 1st, 2011
11:29 am
I used to see Bobby quite often in the elevator or the hallways around the Capitol. While I abhorred his political positions, no one who knew him at all can say that he was a hateful man. The opposite, in fact. It is one of the more curious things about politics and personal beliefs – sometimes the people we disagree with the most are the most well-intentioned. We would ALL do well to remember that, instead of villifying and demonizing those with whom we disagree. THAT, folks, rather than any particular belief system, would make this state and country a much better place.

Venus - Lunar Occultation
Incredible time lapse by Kwon O Chul of the celestial event last month. It's almost like watching a scene from some unknown realm with the dreamlike lights of Korea glowing beneath the clouds. The dawn that follows is just as magical.
Rising in the dark hours before dawn, wandering Venus now shines as the brilliant morning star. Its close conjunction with the Moon on August 13 was appreciated around planet Earth. But skygazers in eastern Asia were also treated to a lunar occultation, the waning crescent Moon passing directly in front of the bright planet in still dark skies.

When the morning twilight arrives in Korea in this view of 16 June 2011, the full moon enters the Earth's shadow. This multi-exposure image shows the setting eclipsed moon above the skyline of Seoul.
The Milky Way shines above a sea of clouds covering nearby towns and villages in Geumsan County of South Korea. The view is captured from Mount Daedunsan.

I want to edit the cover of my book, but have already done the preview and click the "ready to order button" although I haven't ordered yet. I don't see a way to edit it at this stage, am I missing something? Is it possible to still change my cover when I go under the "My Books" tab.
If you downloaded the book to Blurb and it appears in Bookstore, you can delete it. You should be able to go into your book in the edit mode and make changes.

FORT PIERCE - During a monthly update concerning the islands being built in front of the marina, Ed Seissiger, engineer projects coordinator, showed the Fort Pierce City Commission how the construction was on track.
The largest island, Tern Island, is approximately 30 percent complete, and Lucas Marine, the company hired to build the islands, has begun to construct the freeform islands on the north end of the marina.
In addition to being on schedule, the project is also still on budget.
"As far as reimbursements, the total obligated money for this project is $18 million," Mr. Seissiger told the city commission, "(The city) has requested $9 million in reimbursements, and have received almost $8 million, with $1.3 million outstanding."
He indicated that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the agency responsible for paying for the project, has been paying the requests in approximately 32 to 48 days.
Once the islands are completed, plans will be made to involve the public in an educational program.
The islands are a result of the city partnering with the state in a unique pilot project, where the islands currently being built as habitat islands will also be used as protection from incoming storms.
When completed, there will be 12 islands constructed out of sand filled with geotextile cores with graded rock armor. This will be the first time in Florida that islands are being built to protect a shoreline.
The project is expected to be complete by spring 2013.

Makes 6 Pints. Roast the peppers, peel off skins, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out veins and seeds. In large kettle place apricots, plums, three cups of vinegar and water and simmer till soft, usually around 25 minutes. In another large kettle, combine the remaining vinegar, sugars, and corn syrup and bring to a boil while stirring. Add the fruit mixture, ginger, salt, mustard seeds, onion, chiles, garlic, cinnamon, and bell peppers. Simmer with cover on for five minutes then simmer without cover for one hour, stirring occasionally. Remove the cinnamon stick. With a food processor, blender or hand power mixer cream mixture. You'll have to do this in batches. Place each batch into a kettle off the heat. When all is in kettle boil gently, stirring, until the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes. It will get thicker during the aging process. Ladle into sterilized jars. Use spatula to bring out any air bubbles. Heat lids in boiling water for five minutes and then place on jars. Put jars back in kettle, all right side up. Cover in water, at least 1 inch of water over top of jars, and bring to a boil. Boil for ten minutes. Cool right side up. Allow to age in the jar for 2 to 4 in a cool dark place before using.

"I think that AC Portland is an amazing program because it creates opportunities for underserved children to play soccer and have fun in a relaxed recreational setting who otherwise would not have a chance to do so. It partners with great programs like America Scores and summer programs like the James John SUN school summer camp program. The soccer day camps and poetry slams do a great job of getting all of the kids involved. Having volunteered with several AC Portland events, is amazing to see the improvement in both the attitudes and the skills of the kids."

Selectman Pushes Plan To Address Budget Shortfall
By: Mary Stanley
Published: 10/01/10
Selectman James W. Pierce is getting creative with finding solutions to address the town's financial woes.
Last month, after Town Manager George H. Dunham finished his pitch to selectmen for a Proposition 2 1/2 override, Mr. Pierce made his own proposal to close the gap between expenses and revenues in the municipal budget.
The town is facing a $2.2 million shortage in next year's budget. Mr. Dunham's plan is to present an override to voters next May. In November, voters will be asked to approve a $5.4 million debt exclusion, which is a temporary tax increase, to make long overdue repairs to several buildings in town.
To reduce the financial burden that a debt exclusion would place on taxpayers, Mr. Pierce proposes reducing the Community Preservation Act surcharge that property owners pay to offset the additional tax created by the debt exclusion. Currently, the CPA is a 3 percent surcharge attached to each property owner's tax bill. Mr. Pierce estimated that by reducing the CPA surcharge to 2 percent, it would save taxpayers $460,000 a year.
"If we don't take $460,000 a year from taxpayers for the CPA, but then turn around and take it for the debt exclusion, taxpayers break even," Mr. Pierce said.
"It's a shift in priorities from community preservation to infrastructure renovation. I'm sure no one 10 years ago thought we were going to do community preservation instead of capital reinvestment. It's only with 20/20 hindsight that we can see that is what we've done," Mr. Pierce said.
Jonathan D. Shaw, a member of the committee that oversees the town's CPA money, opposes the plan.
"It's penny-wise and pound-foolish," he said. He pointed out that a reduction in the CPA surcharge would also mean a reduction in the matching contribution that the state makes.
He went on to say that the town has benefited greatly from the CPA funds raised and there have been a number of projects related to historical preservation, recreation, affordable housing, and land purchases that were completed with the help of the money from this account.
Mr. Pierce's fellow board members also expressed concern with the proposal.
Chairman of the board of selectmen Dana P. Barrette pointed out that voters could approve reducing the CPA surcharge, but then vote down the debt exclusion.
Mr. Pierce acknowledged the risk with this proposal.
"There always is the possibility that taxpayers could say, 'Thank you very much for the tax break on the CPA' and then turn around and vote no on the debt exclusion," Mr. Pierce said.
As for the projected $2.2 million deficit next year, Mr. Pierce said implementing a pay-as-you-throw program could help free up some of the tax revenues that are currently funding the operation of the transfer station.
As it stands now, the cost to operate the transfer station and haul away the trash is $1.5 million a year. Revenues from dump stickers cover half of that cost while the remaining $750,000 comes from property tax revenues.
Mr. Pierce said if the town adopts the pay-as-you-throw program and sets the fee for the specially made trash bags at $1.50 but leaves the cost of a transfer station sticker set at $110 per year, it could generate an additional $400,000.
If a family can reduce their solid waste generation to just one bag a week, Mr. Pierce said, "they should be able to get away with spending a total of $188 per year for trash disposal."
"Right now, we are spending three quarters of a million to subsidize the transfer station," he said.
He said if that subsidy could be reduced by $400,000 from the sale of bags, that is money that could be used for police or fire, rather than solid waste.
"There is no denying that it is a tax. We are just asking people who use the service to pay for the service," he said.
Although it would be much simpler to double the cost of a dump sticker from $110 to $220 per year to completely cover the cost of operating the transfer station, he said that does nothing to encourage recycling and reduce the amount of solid waste that the town pays to dump at SEMASS, a waste-to-energy trash incineration plant in Rochester. And with the SEMASS bill expected to triple from $37 a ton to $110 per ton by 2015, Mr. Pierce said the pay-as-you-throw program could help save taxpayers big money five years from now.
He said if the town relies on the dump sticker fees to completely cover the cost of trash disposal and does nothing to encourage recycling, by 2015, the cost of a dump sticker could be as high as $440 per year.
Another opportunity to generate money for the town, Mr. Pierce said, is to overturn the almost $500,000 Proposition 2 1/2 "underride" that was voted in 2005. That underride came after the state increased its local contribution to the town.
Mr. Pierce said the town has missed out on collecting that $500,000 and by Fiscal Year 2012, which begins on July 1, 2011, that equals $3 million in revenues lost.
"We gave back $3 million instead of taxing the residents. We are now facing a deficit with no money in the bank. I'm not saying that if we never passed the underride, we would now have all of that $3 million in the bank. But given the town's history with putting money into the stabilization account, some of that $3 million would have found its way there," he said.
He said overturning the underride would cost the average taxpayers an additional $45 a year.
Mr. Pierce has also proposed implementing an optional meals tax for Sandwich. Earlier this year, the state gave municipalities the option to implement a local tax on meals and lodging to offset reductions in state aid.
Mr. Pierce said if the town approved increasing the meals tax by just three quarters of a percent it could generate as much as $137,000 in additional revenues. Mr. Pierce, however, estimated this week in a phone conversation that additional revenues from this tax may be closer to $100,000.
He said on a $20 meal, this tax would equate to an additional 15 cents. A meal that costs $100, he said would cost an additional 75 cents.
Mr. Pierce presented his four proposals to the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce's issues and alliance committee last week.
"Generally, our members support looking at different ideas for generating more revenues. They seem to like the pay-as-you-throw program because it promotes and encourages recycling, which could contain costs," said chamber Director Kathleen M. Bavelock.
However, members of the restaurant industry were not entirely impressed with the proposal to implement the local option meals tax.
"A couple of years ago, we put out a statement opposing any new taxes and we continue to oppose them. Taxes by their very nature impact consumer spending. The restaurant industry in particular has been hard hit in the recession. It's an equity issue and it is unfair to tax one sector," said Ms. Bavelock.
"In an economy like this, when you're in a recession, I don't know any economist that would recommend raising taxes," said Debra M. Davies, owner of The Bee-Hive Tavern on Route 6A.
Ms. Davies pointed out that the restaurant industry was already hit with an additional tax earlier this year when the state increased the meals tax from 5 percent to 6.25 percent.
"I am not an advocate of targeting one industry. They say we shouldn't take these things personally, but it's hard not to when it targets one industry," she said.
Ms. Bavelock pointed out that an increase in the meals tax could result in lower tips for servers. "Studies show that tips decrease when taxes increase," she said.
"It's not worth the revenue that would be generated to dampen consumer spending," Ms. Bavelock said.
Mr. Pierce acknowledged the chamber members' opposition to this particular piece of his proposal. "I didn't expect to change their minds," he said.
Mr. Pierce said overturning the underride, implementing the pay-as-you-throw program and the local option meals tax could generate close to $1.1 million annually for the town.
"It would not completely avoid an override next year, but it would certainly lighten it," he said.

I've been around for quite some time now, I would say in my life I have seen, felt, done, experienced a lot of things. I have always tried to live my life being true to who I am, honest to those I love and respectful of the people who surround me. This can be said of those who have been in my life both online and offline, I have never felt the need to treat people online with less respect or care than I would any other person in my life. Throughout my life I have been bullied, ridiculed, judged, insulted, abused, you name it…a lot of people have. As I have grown older that type of treatment has diminished as we realise once we grow up that the way we treat each other when we are younger has a profound effect on each others lives as we grow up. Today we have so many more ways in which to harm, bully and intimidate those around us and many people are taking advantage of this, continuing the behavior into their adult lives and continuing to have a negative impact upon people's lives.It doesn't matter how old we grow, this type of behavior affects us in a profound and negative way. We are causing depression, anxiety, panic, anger, fear and destroying each other emotionally and for what? It takes a very messed up person to gain enjoyment from someone else's pain and anguish. So these people really piss me off - but what pisses me off even more, is the type of person I have had the misfortune of running into lately; the coward who chooses not only to hurt someone in this way, but chooses to do so only when their target can not defend themselves. If you're going to insult or abuse someone - have the integrity to stand behind your words and allow your target the right of reply, everyone has a right to defend themselves and depriving them of that right makes you a coward, not a man. You wouldn't have to hide if the shit you were dribbling held any merit.So grow up, think about the way your behavior affects the rest of the world and not just how it affects you. Be a man, face the person you're bad mouthing and see if you then have the courage to say what you have to say.Jo
So I finally decide to write something here after the constant "blog blog BLOG" comments from Jo :P I still, in fact, have no idea what to write about. I am not as smart and witty as Jo nor can I use big extravagant words because honestly…I don't understand half of them -_-Well I don't really need to introduce myself. Jo has done a wonderful job in doing that for the both of us! I like the fact she takes control. I am to forgetful to take on that kind of responsibility as well as trying to get up in the morning LOL.Blah! Well I am pretty ordinary. My kids keep me on my toes, I never seem to stop cleaning (OCD much) I have a phobia of putting my hands in water, I love to draw and hang out with all the cool kids on Xbox. I am pretty shy and somewhat a prude but eh you either like me or you don't. If you don't I will probably have a cry about it and then eventually get over it after consuming 10 blocks of chocolate but whatever. :)I am pretty much leaving this post now. I hope Jo is satisfied I made an appearance :P

I hate to say it, but I've had an old T-Bucket body taking up space in my garage for years because I was afraid to move ahead with a plan I've had. My plan is to build a T-Bucket incorporating numerous elements of significant T-Buckets that have inspired me by their uniqueness over the years. The first of those was built in the early 60s by San Antonio, Texas hot rodder, Kit Carlisle. It was featured in both Hot Rod and Car Craft (and more recently, a nice couple of pics appeared in The Rodders Journal). What I love most about it is the stance.
The second major influence was a radical T-Bucket built in the mid-60s by Chicago hot rodder, Don Kendall. It was featured in Rod & Custom. While I'm in love with its low stance and bobtail T look, it's Don's truly unique interior design that's kept me fascinated all these years. I had a chance to meet Don recently and will cover that and Don's other truly innovative T-Bucket in another post in the near future, but here's a brief look at what was capturing people's attention at shows back then.
The third truly legendary T-Bucket, which is the one driving the major changes to my T-Bucket body, is the radical "Leg Show" built by Californian Dan Eichstedt. It debuted at the 1970 Oakland Roadster Show and later captured the hot rod world's attention on the cover of the January, 1971 Rod & Custom.
I'm crazy about every aspect of Dan's truly unique T, but what captures your immediate attention is the radically altered body that helped give it those cartoon-like proportions that left an indelible impression with everyone who saw it.
I also had the opportunity recently to meet Dan and hear the fascinating story about how the "Leg Show" came about and will be sharing that, along with a treasure trove of photos in an upcoming post. You'll note from the photo above that the body of Dan's T has undergone some rather major surgery and I wanted to do something similar with my T build, using the old MAS body I kept bumping into in the garage.
So, about 18 months ago I took a piece of chalk and marked off how I might go about sectioning or otherwise chopping this T-Bucket body. After all, when you buy the cheapest body out there you might as well take some time to give it some personality.
But, after chalking it I stalled. I couldn't bring myself to get out the jigsaw and start chopping it. Why? Because I was afraid of not being able to get it put back together and worried it might look like a mess or fall apart after its first pothole encounter. Then, I saw the light.
As you know, I've been working with Bob Hamilton to market his fabulous StreetRod 101: Hot Rod Frame & Chassis Construction DVD at my other website, www.StreetRodPlans.com. It's gotten very enthusiastic response from everyone who's bought it. And that leads us to my awakening — and chopping.
Beyond the tremendously informative 4-1/2 hour DVD, Bob has also begun compiling a true instructional video library on just about every aspect of street rod and hot rod home-building. We decided that the best way to make it available to the largest number of hot rodders with the best value proposition would be through a special "Members Only" online video site at StreetRodPlans.com. If you've read this far, you're now rewarded with this link to the special can't-lose trial offer we have there: http://www.streetrodplans.com/members/.
One of the first of the new Members Only online videos is 1 hour and 51 minutes on Fiberglass Body Modifications! After watching that, I had the complete confidence to go out to the garage, put on my face shield, and fire up my jigsaw.
So, when you section a T-Bucket body by 5 inches, this is what it looks like (at least temporarily held in place with duct tape). It's now looking a bit more distinctive, somewhat like the 1915-style bodies popularized by Dan Woods and CCR and has begun to take on the proportions more to my liking as in Dan's "Leg Show". I didn't chop it as much as Dan did because my aim wasn't to copy, but rather, to be inspired by his work.
With all that confidence, I moved to the firewall and narrowed it by 4 inches. I know, there are plenty of guys who complain about not enough room in a T-Bucket. I'm reminded of a great Jay Leno response when he was offered a Diet Coke: "Diet Coke? Give me a real Coke — with extra sugar!"
Now, I have to get my fiberglass supplies and start putting to use the valuable information I gained from Bob Hamilton's new online video. Consider this the first installment in what's going to be a really fun journey.

Applying the Aerotel / Macrossan test
Case studies
The Court of Appeal's recent judgment in the matters of Aerotel Ltd v Telco Holdings Ltd (and others) and Macrossan's Application [2006] EWCA Civ 1371 ("Aerotel/Macrossan") (236Kb) proposed a new test for assessing whether inventions relate to patentable subject matter. This paper gives some examples of how the Office sees the test being applied in practice. The examples chosen are patent applications that were refused by hearing officers earlier this year using the old tests. In every case the new test appears to come to the same conclusion, thus confirming the Court's view that the new test is consistent with previous decisions of the Court.
Case 1: Agilent Technologies Inc BL O/141/06
This application relates to monitoring a telephone signalling network. It allows the user to look at a variety of different pieces of information relating to both voice messages and data transmission.
Case 2: Arm Limited BL O/066/06
This application concerns an optimized compiler of application code in a data processing apparatus which responds to input signals derived from a non-invasive trace unit coupled to the processing apparatus to continuously modify the compilation process.
Case 3: Touch Clarity Limited BL O/198/06
This application concerns a system which takes an action based on an assessment of a number of possible actions. The system can be one of a wide range of possibilities – highlighted examples are a greetings card website where the customer is presented with a number of choices based on previous selections, and control of a robot vacuum cleaner. Independent claims 1 and 15 claim the system and method in full generality; independent claims 20 and 32 are the system and method restricted to a robotic operating system.
Case 4: Robert B Franks' Application BL O/153/06
This application relates to a networked system for administering the renewal of intellectual property rights such as patents and trade marks whereby a member of the public receives a renewal quotation over the internet and orders and pays for the renewal if he so wishes.

Residents of a Millville community are in disbelief, after hearing the news that police arrested one of their neighbors for causing the death of his own infant daughter.
"That's what the reports are. I don't know. It's not the Andrew that I know." Peggy Gaskill has known Andrew Rieger for years. She lives down the street from his East Oak Drive home.
"I use to baby sit him when he was little, and I never had a lick of trouble with him. He was always easy going." That's why when Gaskill heard that Rieger had been arrested for causing his own baby daughters death, she couldn't believe it. "I was shocked. I just found out recently that he had a baby."
Police where called to the Inspira Medical Center on Thursday around 5:00 A.M. to investigate suspicious injuries inflicted on an 11 week old girl. The child sustained multiple injuries and head trauma. This is when Rieger, who is 25 years old, was charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
The baby died from her injuries two days later. When the infant died his charges and bail were increased. Rieger is now being charged with aggravated manslaughter.
We attempted to speak with the mother, but no one was at Rieger's home.
"I've seen his girlfriend when she was pregnant, they use to walk. They would walk with the dog down the road." One neighbor, who chose not to give us her name, says she has not seen the mother visit Rieger since the child was born. "I think it had to be an accident. He's been through a lot."
Rieger is currently being held at the Cumberland County Jail on one million dollars bail. The investigation is still on going. The Millville Police Department and the Cumberland County Prosecutors Office are handling the case
