BALTIMORE -- On a night in which the Red Sox could get very little going offensively, Jose Iglesias continued to find a way to get on base.
Limited to just three hits by starter Chris Tillman and three relievers, the Sox were shutout for the fourth time this season, 2-0.
Two of those three hits came from Iglesias, who extended his hitting streak to 15 games, the longest current streak in the big leagues.
In the second inning, Iglesias lined hard to Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado, who reached up and gloved the ball. Two innings later, Iglesias dropped a nice bunt toward third and reached safely.
Finally, Iglesias drove a leadoff double to right, but was left stranded in scoring position.
Perhaps the only surprise of the night came in the ninth when Iglesias came to the plate with one one and one out and proceeded to bounce into a game-ending double-play.
"He's been swinging the bat well throughtout the entire time he's come back to us,'' said manager John Farrell. "He got a sinker around the plate and it ended up being a ground ball double play.''
"I'm just trying to put a good swing on the ball (every time) and help this team win some ballgames,'' said Iglesias. "It's good to have my confidence back.''
In the 15-game streak, Iglesias has multiple hits in nine of them. Presumably, that's making it more difficult for John Farrell to keep Iglesias on the bench, even as he gets playing time occasionally at both third base and shortstop.
"That's John's decision,'' said Iglesias. "I tried to do my job tonight and get ready for tomorrow. If I'm in the lineup, I'm going to give 100 percent again.''

GRANTS PASS, Oreg.-Josephine County is scheduled to vote on a levy in May that Commissioners said is the best solution to the financial problems faced by the County's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Systems.
Ballot Measure No. 17-49, is up for vote on May 21.
Commissioners hope to fund some law enforcement and prosecution in the County with the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Three Year Local Option Tax. "Those are the Adult Jail, Deputy Sheriff Response and Patrol, Sheriff Civil Service, that's serving papers, and the School Security and Resources Program, District Attorney, Juvenile Justice and Animal Protection," said Josephine County Commissioner, Cherryl Walker.
Some opponents said they aren't so sure that's where the money will go. "There is no guarantee that it will go to those seven items. If they had said shall or will, then it would have to go to those seven items," said We're for A Constitutional Government (W4ACG) Co-founder, Jim Rafferty.
Rafferty said the word "may" in the ballot summary allows Commissioners to use the money however they like. "'May' means that the money is gonna go to the County through the general, the County's already admitted that, the County funds are just funds that go to the general fund and they will disperse it anyway they like," said Rafferty.
Commissioner Walker said 'may' is a permissive word. "If we do not receive a grant to fund this program, for example the School Security Program, that would allow us the opportunity to put that money into more jail beds or more patrols rather than saying we can't use that money at all," said Walker.
If passed, the tax will be $1.48 per $1,000 of a property's assessed value. "If it is increased by the assessed value, then that could actually increase the dollar amount that would be collected, but it would not increase the $1.48. The $1.48 will not change," said Walker.
Rafferty said W4ACG doesn't want a new tax, period. "So what do the Commissioners think no means? They need to come up with a solution that is a non-taxable solution," said Rafferty.
Both sides agreed the County needs law enforcement.
Walker said though residents may have dogs, alarms and guns, something needs to be done with the criminals. "If you have those and someone is caught, where do you take them? Who's gonna prosecute them? Who's gonna protect people from future crimes from that individual," said Walker.
"We're not opposed to law enforcement, in fact, we want to help law enforcement," said Rafferty.
Commissioners said a temporary levy is the key, but Rafferty suggested other options like renting out County Jail cells to the city and donations. "Donation is something that I give willingly. A tax is something that I am forced to give or lose my property," said Rafferty.
The Board of Commissioners will hold a presentation on Measure 17-49, April 10, following its weekly business session in the Anne Basker Auditorium located at 604 NW 6th Street. The presentation will be broadcast on the County's cable channel and will also be available on the County's website for viewers unable to attend or watch live.
Rafferty said W4ACG and other groups opposing the levy hope to organize a public debate on the measure.

I've got a gooey Yashica. I know about micro-tools.com but I was just wondering if anyone had better source for camera light baffle foam.
Printable View
I've got a gooey Yashica. I know about micro-tools.com but I was just wondering if anyone had better source for camera light baffle foam.
There is a guy that quite often advertises on Ebay and has kits for more cameras than you can think of, he is out of Florida and seems to advertise for Kievs most of the time.
Dave Parker
Ground Glass Specialties
If your Yashica is a TLR then I recommend Mark Hama very highly. He is in Marietta Georgia and did a terrific job rescuing my 124 from a colony of Hawaiian ants that were living inside it....
I realize that I should have mentioned that it is 35mm SLR. If you say "Yashica" to me, I automatically think TLR too and I don't even have a 'Mat. I have a couple of Yashica bodies because they take Zeiss lenses.
Mine needs new foam in the channels, at the hinge and the mirror cushion.
the man on Ebay is called "interslice" he is great and has all sorts of kits and designs for loads of cameras - and excellent help and advice on doing the repairs and includes a special tool for removing old goo and inserting new seals and foams
Here's a link to one of Interslice's auctions.
I bought from him a couple of weeks ago,. Extremely good, trustworthy seller and the kit did an excellent job of resealing my Olympus OM10.
I'll try that interslice. It looks very complete and hearing of and Andy's good experience makes it more attractive.
in case he has no kit for your camera, you could cut your own. Get 0,5mm thick black rubber foam, cut it with a scissor (a knife is no good, the edges are too rough). Remove the old foam with a toothstick, q-tips and a solvent (aceton if no plastics are involded, isopropyl alc in that case) and fix the new stuff with a bit of rubber cement.
I used that rubber foam with my Kievs, my Olympus 35RC, many others did it to their cameras... works.
Thanks Roman
It appears that interslice doen't sell camera-specific kits, but rather sends you a variety of materials that would be used on any camera. I think that it is up to you to do the final adapting to your make and model.
I would add that I found no need at all to use any glue for the light seals around the film door on my OM10. Only the mirror damper needed adhesive and there was the correct adhesive backed foam in the kit.
I would be quite reluctant to use glue for any light seal replacements unless absolutely necessary.

Speakapedia for Mac makes Wikipedia speak
updated 08:20 pm EDT, Wed July 16, 2008
Speakapedia for Mac
Shiny Development has released Speakapedia 1.0, a Mac utility that converts WIkipedia articles into spoken words, and "seamlessly manages them as tracks" in iTunes. The application uses an article's main photo for iTunes album art. The utility allows knowledge-hungry users to "listen" to articles on their Macs and iPods, and has obvious benefits for those who are sight-impiared.
Shiny Development says the application uses Apple's new "Alex" speaking voice included in Mac OS X 10.5. Speakapedia automatically filters out "non-essential" text, so the narrative sounds more like it's being read by a real person. Users can also select specific portions of an article to be read aloud.
Speakapedia is available for download at the "introductory price" of $10 through the end of August when the price goes up to $15. Speakapedia requires a Power PC or Intel Mac running OS X 10.5 or higher.

I'm 32 and ttc#1. It's been 9 months with no BFP. The doc says I need to try for a year before she'll see me again. So, I've been left to my own craziness. I've tried everything from pressed to Mucinex to royal jelly. I think I'll start acupuncture next. What's your story??
Looking for long cycle buddies - cd 1 on or around 5/18
I was feeling great about my chances this month until last night. DH and I are following SMEP so we were supposed to DTD last night. Of course he goes out after work and stays out all night. He told me he was goingv o watch the first half of the basketball game and then come home so that we could BD. He didn't come home until well after the game was over (close to midnight). Needless to say, I was pissed!! So, we had a big fight and there was no BDing. Got my CH today and FF pt my O date on Tuesday. We DTD Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I'm kinda skeptical about Tuesday being my O day though, because my +OPK was Wednesday. But, whatever. It all seems messed up now.
I hope everyone else is feeling better than I am.
EKcaillouette -did you test??
Husbands are so frustrating sometimes! It's like they totally don't get how important timing is when you're TTC. Glad to hear about the CH's though. I looked at your chart, and I'd agree that you O'd on Tuesday. I bet if you discarded that first high temp you'd get solid CH's. Your BD timing sounds good, though, regardless. My fingers are crossed for you!
My temp took a big nosedive this morning (below coverline), so I'd say I'm officially out for this cycle... just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head. On to the next one, I suppose. I'm going to pick up some soy iso today or tomorrow and try that + pineapple core. My pinapple core did, in fact, get moldy in the fridge while I was waiting to O a few weeks ago.
Also thanks for the FF suggestion. I tried discarding that first high temp but I still didn't get solid CH. It's because FF doesn't like that I got an early +OP.k without a temp shift, and I had some seemingly infertile CM days in there too. Whenever you abevsomething that doesn't follow "normal" patterns, FF gets unsure of your O date. DH is trying to make up, so maybe we can BD tonight just in case.
Hi ladies
*sigh* so far BFN. I still have a couple more days before AF. But I think I am out for the month. I saw a doc yesturday and she thinks I have polycystic ovary syndrome. I have to get some blood test done to prove this might be the promblem in TTC.
She already has me on a natural supplement to increase my progesterone levels to get my period to become regular. The good news is that I can still have kids...just need to wait for my body to get all the right hormons it needs to carry a baby full term.
Married 10/20/10
Aww, sorry. Well, at least you have a doc who is working with you to get on track. And, as they say, you're not officially out until AF shows!
So, what was it that made your doc say you have PCOS? I think I probably have it too, but my doc won't even test me until I've been ttc for a year (which will be in two months). It's frustrating because I feel like I''m just wasting time right now. So, it sounds like you are having better luck with doctor attention. I hope the progesterone suppements are successful!! Having a regular cycle would be great!
Ugh, hit a little speed bump over here. *TMI ALERT* Went to the Dr. today since I thought I had a yeast infection. Turns out I was right. Told Dr. we are TTC and she told me if the YI results came back positive, she would do a preg. test to see if I was preggo to determine what she would prescribe for the YI. So she comes back and says yep its a YI, but she didn't think the preg test would come back positive since I am only about 6 DPO, so she didn't do one. I am a little bummed that I didn't get to do one anyway. Probably would have come back negative anyway, but I was hoping for some good news early. This wait is driving me nuts! I am feeling absolutely NO symptoms and I didn't w/ my 1st pregnancy either until about 6 week preggo. Not really sure when I will be testing since AF length varys month to month. Earliest would be the 17th, but that would only be CD 31 for me. Might be better to wait until CD 36 or 37 to test.
Me(31) + DH (33) = DD (8/09) & DS (03/13)
Together since 9/01, Married 7/07
Lisa - bummer - YI's suck! Sorry you couldn't get tested today. But, at least there's still hope for your BFP!
On another note, I checked my CM today and it was sticky, but my cervix felt open. I just can't figure this stuff out!
Jex: it kinda hard to talk about it because I guess i'm embarrassed a little. PCOS is when you have very irregular periods. This the last three months of TTC I had a 72, 51, and 28 day cycle. When you have pcos you might have acne and hair on face or other body parts (that's the embarrassing thing). Maybe even a dark patch of skin on your body. PCOS also could mean you have low progesterone and high testosterone. When you become pregnant it is important for progesterone to increase to carry the baby full term. Pregnant ladies glow because of the high levels of progesterone.
The first doctor I went to said I had to wait a year and lost some weight. The nurse to that doc said I was lucky to get period every other month. It made me mad when I hear this….so I told my friends what had happen to me at the doc's visit. A gf of mine recommended that I see a hormone specialist that she goes too. I kept putting it off and she kept bugging me. The I talked to my DH about it and he said ..Well lets just go and see what they have to say.
So, last Thursday I saw them …it went well!!! It made sense to me of everything I was feeling and why I was soo irregular. I'm just waiting on blood work to confirm.
However, in order to get my blood paid throw my insurance. I had to go back to my original doc. It was frustrating because he did not understand why I would see another doc out of network. Plus, it was frustrating to explain the reason why I am requesting this blood work to be done. Overall, I am glad that I am finding this out now instead or later. I'm proud that I told my in network doc that …something is wrong with my fertility with my very irregular periods…if you can't help me then I will find a doc that will. So this Monday I have another appointment with the OBGYN…to get my blood work so I can get treatment for PCOS.

According to Buchholz, "The bomb curve forms a chronometer of the past 60 years."
The radiocarbon signature of DNA is a direct measure of the carbon used during microbial respiration and growth. In this study, the team developed a method to filter, extract and purify DNA from groundwater aquifers for radiocarbon analysis to determine the organic carbon pools fueling microbial reduction.
"We were able to separate the recent bomb pulse radiocarbon from the natural carbon signature and found the arsenic levels are now directly tied to a natural process as opposed to being driven by human activities," Buchholz said.
The results may help scientists understand the causes of arsenic contamination in the region, and the development of potential mitigation strategies.

Hi you all, I am relatively new here. I did not know this forum was here, So this is where all the folk's hang out that can be classified as a farm animal.
Any how I am 6 foot 4 and about 310 or so and have lost 15 pounds with my new bike so I am happy and also I just bought a set of 29er Sun MTX 33 rims front and rear but I think the people who sold them to me may be selling me cheesie axels because my bike is set up for 10mm and so they sold me 10mm chromoly axels, are the axels to light?. It is a Trek 4300 frame and the wheels are MTX 33 with stainless butted spokes and Shimano hubs that are 75 $ each that are discounted, am I asking for trouble with these hubs? Thankyou.

My blood tends to runs a little cool, and I have a closetsful of sweaters, sweatshirts and giant fluffy blankets to prove it.
Maybe it's just me, but winter fabrics seem a tad stale at the start of every fall, so I've learned a trick that keeps that faintly sad fragrance of closed air and wool at bay for at least the first several wearings: Wash, rinse, and – most importantly – dry outside.
Even heavy winter fabrics can smell wonderful without the help of fabric softener or Febreze. When you dry your cold weather garments outside in the last flush of summer air, that smell clings to your garments for a surprisingly long time. And drippy sweaters drying indoors make me think of Russian winters during the Cold War anyway.
Is that weird?
Do you take one look at the DRY CLEAN or HAND WASH-only tag and run in the opposite direction, no matter how beautiful or flattering a piece of clothing may be?
The best thing about good quality fabrics like wool? If you take good care of them, they will take good care of you.
If you're going to be living in northern New York – or anywhere that gets chilly, for that matter – you don't have to limit your winter clothing repertoire to cotton and synthetics. Yes, it's more time-consuming to take proper care of a wool or cashmere garment, but it's also totally worth it.
My favorite sweater is 100% wool, but surprisingly light weight. It's thicker than most of my other sweaters – about the thickness of a good-quality sweatshirt – but it doesn't seem to add bulk.
Even wool sweaters like this one are deceptively delicate. It took me years to figure out how to properly care for wool and I went through many expensive holiday sweaters before I got it right.
Wool is a natural fiber. Like cotton, it wicks away moisture when worn against skin, yet holds warmth with its tight, scaly threads. It is water-repellant because it contains an oil called lanolin. Firefighters used to wear wool pants and shirts because, with its high ignition temperature, wool is basically fire-resistant. Yet even in frigid weather, wool garments keep their wearer dry and warm.
If you've ever taken really good care of a beloved wool sweater, you'll notice that no matter how long you've had it and what you've put it through (spitty babies, spilled juice, spilled coffee, dog drool, etc), it probably doesn't have a spot on it. That's because wool is really, really hard to stain. In fact, I purposely avoided taking pictures of the tag on the sweater below because, unfortunately, it has not escaped said grime.

UMW News BureauThe Bulldogs fell to 0-2 on the season after losing a Frontier Conference game to high-scoring Eastern Oregon. By Wally Feldt The Eastern Oregon Mountaineers broke open a tight game by scoring 21 second half points on the way to a 45-24 Frontier Conference football win over the University of Montana Western. With the win, the Mountaineers improve to 2-0 in league play and 2-1 overall while Montana Western falls to 0-2 in conference action. Eastern scored first at the 12:37 mark of the first quarter with a Chris Ware to Kevin Sampson one yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs answered with a Aukkarapong Sribenjakul 21 yard field goal two minutes later. Ware threw is second touchdown pass, a nine-yard strike to Justin Reynolds, to extend the Mountaineers lead to 14-3. On the Bulldogs next possession, Charlie Dotson's 22-yard touchdown run capped a 65 yard drive and the Eastern lead to 10-14. Thomas Akers extended the Mountain lead to seven points with his 27-yard field goal at the 8:17 mark of the second quarter. The Bulldogs tied the game on the first play of a drive when Michah Mamiya hit Deryk Van Zee on a 74-yard touchdown pass and a Aukkarapong Sribenjakul extra point. Eastern closed the half with Ware's third touchdown pass of the half when he hit Kevin Sampson on a 12 yard scoring strike. The Mountaineers took advantage of Bulldog turnovers and outscored Montana Western 21-7 in the second half. Mamiya was 6 of 12 for 125 yards and one touchdown before injuring his arm late in the third quarter. In relief of Mamiya, true freshman Jeff Logan was 11 of 24 for 148 yards and one touchdown, but three interceptions. Van Zee led the Bulldog receivers with three catches for 110 yards and one score. Jordan Clary led the Montana Western ground game with 119 yards on 14 carries. Linebacker Chad Schira led the Bulldog defense with 10 unassisted tackles and eight assisted. For Eastern Oregon, Ware was 19 of 37 for 184 yards and five touchdowns. He rushed for an additional 40 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries. Marc-Avery Airhart led Eastern's defense with six unassisted tackles and four assisted. Howard McDonald and Kasidy Gooch each had interceptions with long returns that led to Mountaineer touchdowns. Next week, the Bulldogs travel to Havre to face the MSU-Northern Lights while Eastern travels to Butte, Mont. to face Montana Tech.

GTK Look and feel unacceptable on Linux...
Please continue to make native look-and-feel fidelity a major priority with Mustang. I'm running b67 and the GTK L&F *still* has major issues on Linux. My biggest complaint is font sizes not matching. Font sizes in native GTK apps are slightly smaller than Swing/GTK -- that is to say that Swing's GTK fonts are too big. The JMenuBar is also too tall.
Additionally, performance is an issue. I don't know if this is strictly due to the fact that GTK L&F is based on Synth or what. Resizing or maximizing a window is noticeably slow.
I love Swing, but SWT is the only way to go for writing Java GUI apps that are going to be run on both Windows and Linux. Swing on Linux *is* fast as long as you use Metal (Ocean) L&F. As soon as you try to shoot for native fidelity via the GTK L&F you stick out like a sore thumb and your performance lags.
I'm running a vanilla install of Ubuntu Linux 5.10 -- nothing tricky. The GTK "engine" is supported by Swing's GTK L&F.
I'm begging you to fix this. Native-looking apps on Linux is an absolute must. Forcing me to use Metal (as NetBeans on Linux does) is *NOT* a viable option.
Bryan, thanks for your comments.
You should see improvement with these (recent) fixes:
6364255: GTK L&F: text in components is too tall
6361745: Mustang: Improve the image caching mechanism used by GTK L&F
(although the first one I think affects solaris only)
There are more performance and fidelity-related fixes in the pipeline for the GTK L&F.
Java2D Team
Thank you for your prompt response and attention to my issue. And let me tell you. I have "issues"... But the medication helps... Err... Anyway.
I'm glad to here about these fixes and others on their way. You guys have done a great job with Mustang so far, and I have no doubt that I'll be impressed by its future.
Thanks again,
Also, here's something I got from Phil Race (who's our fonts person) regarding GTK vs Swing/GTK font issues on linux:
"We don't use the same fonts (I'm working on that) and we
properly hint the fonts which makes a difference too.
Those were the main things I noticed. The latter is
GTK's problem. Its possible that at some sizes we may
round a little differently (off by one at most).
So far as I know our size calculations are otherwise
This is something i've been meaning to post up since the later 1.4.2 versions. If i may add my 2 cents:
Though i do appreciate the work been done to get the gtk l&f actually working on linux there are still so very many issues - i think internal frame support is the worst and we no longer develop with them if we expect an app to run under linux also.
Frankly however, even if it does get better, the vast array of possible themes and theme engines on linux almost renders the entire process futile. you will likely never get gtk l&f to work as expected (say like java-gnome) on linux. i don't really understand the decision taken to attempt to run any swing app under the OS's native look. it used to be that it would just run under metal (which i personally still love). furthermore, when the jvm was being released to default to the system native l&f (gtk on linux), you could still have a swing.properties file that could be configured to have whatever default l&f you wanted. it hasn't worked in 1.5 at all!!
it really is very very annoying. at the very least, can the swing.properties lookup be reinstated.
anyway, just my two cents.
The new GTK L&F in mustang uses native GTK rendering to render the components (unlike the theme rendering emulation done in previous releases, which did support only a limited set of themes), so it'll automatically support whatever new themes that come out.
If you have specific issues regarding internal frames, please file bugs (or vote for existing ones), don't wait for three releases.
I'm not a Swing person, so I'm not sure about the swing.properties thing.
http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/articles/java/java-2-se-6.0-aesthetics-preview.php - this is nice article about good and bad things in GTK PLAF in Mustang. It is little outdated probably, but my experience is similar (I haven't tested last 3 or 4 Mustang snapshots). Besides many visual glitches and inconsistencies GTK PLAF is *really* slow - TBH is rather unusable.
Yep I also found that the GTK-LAF is way too slow for almost all guys larger than a few buttons and textfields.
Especially resizing operations seem to be very slow.
I have to add that not for me nore my customers GTK-LAF has any priority, we all use Metal/Ocean which looks quite ok since Tiger and performs quite good.
As I mentioned above, the GTK L&F performance is continued to be worked on even for mustang.
Wow, that comparison posted above is pretty cool!
Keep up the awesome work all!
Yeah, we filed a bunch of bugs based on that excellent article, most of them should be fixed by now.

Without them, the irregular light schedule did not impair mood and cognitive (thinking) function, even though their vision and general light detection ability remained intact. This showed that light affects learning and mood directly through these special photosensitive retinal cells, Hattar said.
The researchers created light-exposure patterns for the mice that allowed the scientists to rule out the possibility that circadian rhythm and sleep disruption were responsible for the changes in mood and learning ability they observed.
Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in an organism's environment, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
One expert questioned whether the mice's normal circadian rhythm was indeed maintained. "Perhaps even though the overall sleep timing pattern remained intact, the quality of their sleep deteriorated," suggested Tony Tang, an adjunct professor in the department of psychology at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Ill.
Tang also found an important difference between how humans are exposed to light at night in modern life and how the reaction of mice to light was tested during the research.
"In the current study, the poor mice ended up having bright lights shining on them while they slept; but for humans in the past century, we've stayed up while we kept lights on, and then turned the lights off when we sleep," he said.
Scientists note that research with animals often fails to provide similar results in humans.
Study co-author Hattar said the study should be replicated in human subjects. "But even if it comes out not as clear as it did in mice, I think there will be some benefit for people to turn down their lights at night. I don't think there is any harm in it."

Murder suspect gets into altercation in court
The arraignment of murder suspect Frank Sotelo III, who is in custody in lieu of a $760,000 bail, was postponed until next month.
While in court Tuesday, Sotelo got into an altercation with another jail inmate. The two were quickly separated by Ventura County Sheriff's Department deputies.
Both Sotelo, 24, of Ventura, and the other inmate were inside a detention cell in a courtroom in Ventura County Superior Court when the incident occurred.
Witnesses said family and friends of the victim and the defendant began angrily exchanging words in the courtroom. Additional deputies rushed in, quickly escorted people out of the courtroom and out of the courthouse, witnesses said.
William "David" Spear, 21, was fatally shot in the chest Saturday in the 200 block of West Vince Street near Olive Street in Ventura. Police arrested Sotelo on suspicion of the killing, authorities said.
Sotelo also is being charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon.
His arraignment is now set for March 7.

"Villa Loiki and Matemwe is how you imagine paradise to be!"
Villa Loiki is just amazing. The location is like parade and the house is beautifully appointed with the decor carefully chosen with beautiful African prints and upholstery. When we arrived on New Year's Eve they had Christmas Trees up with fairy lights. The children jumped straight into the lovely swimming pool. It is right on the beach where the water is turquoise blue. There is complete privacy. The food by Juma and Paul was amazing. We had Lobster for New Year's Eve. Everything was so fresh and the flavours with the use of spices was amazing. Every morning there was freshly squeezed juice and freshly baked cakes or bread. There was lots of exotic fruit on the table. We had eggs cooked whatever way we wanted. The food was do good I brought home a cookbook from zanzibar hoping I can recreate it. Amina and the the staff were so lovely and always working away quietly in the background. When you were having breakfast they made up your beds and when you were having dinner in the evening they pulled the mosquito nets, turned on the air conditioning and pulled the curtains. Everything was laid on so professionally. When we landed in from Tanzania, Mr Bhakal picked us up at airport and drove us to the Villa where we were greeted by all the staff with fresh coconuts where the top was sliced off and we drank the milk through a straw. We had a driver during the week who took us to Stone Town and on another day he took us to the Spice Tour. The Spice Tour was fantastic and very interesting. I guess it opened my eyes and spices are no longer just something that comes in a packet. Our driver took us out on the motor boat to snorkel at Mnemba Island. Amazing snorkelling. So many tropical fish and coral reefs. Mianne the manager was tireless to make sure we had everything we needed at all times. Zanzibar is a beautiful Island. We went to Stone Town where we had a lovely meal at the Archipelago restaurant. We strolled the shops and the markets where we bought fresh fruit, and vegetables. Juma got all our fish and meat fresh from local famers and fishermen. Mr Baker took my husband to the wine shop in Stone Town and there he was able to buy all his favourite wines - a Chateau Laffitte, Rustenberg from South Africa, Gigondas from France, Barolo from Italy. We were surprised to see such a fine selection of wines. We were never harassed or bothered in Zanzibar or Tanzania as we expect in some European countries. I can't start to describe how lovely the Zanzibar people are. They are beautiful looking. Tall with high cheek bones and graceful appearance. They are a very dignified people and work hard. I have amazing photos from Zanzibar. I would love to go back!

Very nice house on a very good spot at an unspoiled part of Zanzibar Very good cook the african life powdery white beach

"Your own private luxurious hotel!"
We had a wonderful week at Villa Loiki. Before we went, both the owner and the manager went out of their way to make sure we had all the information that we needed about the villa, Zanzibar, visa and medical requirements (yellow fever vaccination cards, malaria prophylaxis) etc and to find out any food likes and dislikes. The web pictures and description of the house sounded almost too good to be true, but Villa Loiki certainly exceeded all expectations! The very comfortable house is decorated in a mix of European and African styles, with all modern amenities (e.g. microwave, washing machine, coffee machine, MP3 player, satellite TV, internet, to name just a few) and is set in beautiful gardens with lots of space, indoor and outdoor, and privacy. Its location in Matemwe was ideal for us, as we wanted a quiet spot, and the beach in front of the house (apart from the Villa's own private beach and swimming pool!) was unspoilt, with magnificent views over the Ocean and to Mnemba Island. We were met at the airport off our late evening flight arrival and taken to the Villa, where all the staff, and the manager, were waiting to welcome us with drinks and show us around. (In fact, the manager came round every day to check that everything was ok, and was attentive and caring.) A beautiful evening meal had been prepared, and the kitchen cupboards and fridges stocked for us. In fact, there was enough food for us not to have to worry about venturing out for a few days! The staff were friendly and always willing to help without being intrusive, and made us feel like honoured guests. Nothing was too much trouble, and everyone was great with our 5-year-old. The chef was wonderful, and cooked whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, and even made wonderful suggestions when we felt too lazy to make any decisions about what to eat! The use of the car, motor boat and sailing boat, with an assortment of snorkelling gear, was an added bonus. Our stay at the villa was unforgettable; we shall, and have recommended it, and will endeavour to go again if we get the opportunity.

you've got that right! but that's just one small piece of the overall Republican agenda to dismantle the federal government entirely. If they get their way, everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that is currently owned or administered or held in public trust by the government will be privatized. So, you can do nothing and kiss it goodbye (your Social Security, pensions, national parks, Post Office, public schools, libraries, roads, etc) or you can vote the @#$%ards out in 2014.

School police chief: Security a top issue
In at least one high school, parents have been known to bypass the office and go directly to the teacher's classroom to demand an on-the-spot parent conference. Never mind that class is in session. Never mind that the protocol is to sign in first in the office. Never mind that parents must schedule a parent conference with the parent facilitator. Oh nooooo, we can't follow the rules, can we, because that would inconvenience us. I blame the administration who can't even be bothered to put a sign on the front door to notify visitors of the expected protocols of on-campus visits. School safety is a joke in the DCSS---for students, teachers, and staff.

best thing for RQ, in my opinion, is for it to become part of ASU in some way, so that it can continue its educational function. Considering our geography, it's way past time that ASU offer diploma programs for conservation biologists, environment and sustainability, hydrology, and water conservation management. These are growing fields and will become vitally important in the years to come. Vision, people!

Massacre prompts security reviews
Well, like most security measures, it sounds good on paper but in the school where I work, the plan is sorely lacking. There are multiple ways for anyone to enter the building, aided by "helpful" students who are so naïve as to think nothing of opening a "badge-accessed" outer door to strangers. None of the schools have line-of-sight monitoring of who enters and exits, relying on closed-circuit TVs in the office. Offices are very busy places and no one really pays attention to the TVs. There are signs on most front entrances that tell visitors they must report to the office first (to sign in and get a visitor badge) but you would not believe the number of times a parent has knocked on my classroom door, wanting an impromptu conference, without following this procedure. And no one stops them because they are not aware of the person being on campus! Look, anyone who is intent on murder and mayhem can do the deed at just about any school. The bloviating by Fowler and Conley to the contrary, the security just isn't there.

Pilot Club of Hartwell installs new officers
HART COUNTY - The Pilot Club of Hartwell Inc. held its installation ceremony for 2011-2012 new club officers on June 14 at Fletcher's Restaurant. "Seasons of Service" is the theme for the new club year with sunflowers and bumblebees as the symbols. Hartwell native Judy Senkbeil Jackson and current member of the Pilot Club of Carrollton was invited by incoming club president Brenda (Richardson) Spears to return to Hartwell and install the new officers.
Jackson and Spears were classmates from elementary through high school. After graduation, Spears worked for a period of time at Senkbeil's Dime Store in Hartwell, for Jackson's parents, owners of the store. Jackson is a retired educator with Carroll County schools and now teaches English at West Georgia Technical College. She has been a Pilot member for 34 years. Spears is employed by Lake Hartwell Realty as office manager. She became a Pilot in 1983 and began working for the Moore family at Lake Hartwell Inc. in 1983. This will be her third term as president of the Pilot Club of Hartwell.
A special guest for the evening was Betty Thrasher, emeritus member of the Pilot Club of Hartwell and former home economics teacher for Jackson and Spears during their years at Hart County High School.
Other guests who were recognized included Tom Jackson, co-Pilot of Judy Jackson; Dana White; Sheila McCullough; Linda Wilson; and Buddy Spears, co-Pilot of Brenda Spears.

Location Information
Sorrento and Surroundings
Sorrento, a small, originally Greek city (Syrrenton or the city of Sirens), is situated in the south of Italy, on a cliff of a local rock, pushing out into the sea. Its position gives it a profile of particularly suggestive grace and its luscious gardens and native oranges perfume the air. Sorrento is one of the most important tourist centers of Italy and the beaches are of the ancient Roman tradition. The layout of the city rivals the Greek cities, but it was influenced by the ancient imperial Roman architecture: several buildings reflect this period. The Gothic style, mixed with elements of Arab-Norman characteristics, composes a great part of the architecture of Sorrento, while the works of art of the churches belong more or less to the XVII-XVIII century.
The bewitching fascination of this ancient town has remained unchanged, as if due to some strange alchemy between the unadulterated beauty of nature at its best and a past steeped in history.
Sorrento is within easy traveling distance of some of the most beautiful sceneries and interesting places in the country: Naples, Capri, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Positano, Amalfi are just a few examples. There are many more!

Almost too clever for words, Larry Shackley decided it was time to make fun of all those who use Bach's classics as a foundation for a new song. So he did it, too, but in the most honoring and humorous way. Larry is an established composer and arranger, and his craftsmanship comes through with this amusing piece.

Accessing NTFS on a dual-boot system with Captive
Captive offers access to NTFS through the original Windows driver. We tried out Captive 1.1.7 in a real-world dual-boot scenario with low-end hardware.
For many users of Linux, dual-booting has become part of the daily routine. No matter how hard you try, there will always be that final proprietary application that you or your customers rely on, and that means resorting to the Windows operating system on a regular basis. Exchanging data between two wildly different filesystems on a dual-boot machine can be a trying experience, however. Although users take mainstream Linux kernel read support for Windows-style NTFS partitions for granted, write support for the closed source filesystem is a more complex matter that has frustrated Linux programmers and users alike for many a year.

OO5, there is tons of fanfic out there. Are you asking to be linked to it? Clear your week.
I am not asking for fan fiction. I'm asking for stories from the people in this thread advocating that there were plenty of stories left for Kes to be a part of. There's a difference.
It's far too easy today to get so riled up and complain and accuse show writers of lying for some nefarious purpose than it is to actually put your (again, general "your") money where your mouth is.
If these people are still (still!) so incensed by how this was all handled more than a decade ago, they should be able to channel that energy into typing up a reasonable summary of their ideal Kes episode.
I, personally, don't think that's entirely ridiculous a request.
Personally I was either irritated or bored by the character and the only time I liked her was in Warlord when she was not really Kes. I don't like sweet, non-confrontational females which is what I found her to be. Someone once mentioned her "wide eyed wonder" and how they related to it.. I guess I don't find that very good tv viewing.
Kes was boring after a while. They did everything they could with her. Apart from actually aging her out and making *that* a story, there wasn't much left that warranted keeping her on another season.

Take Him Seriously
Ariel Sharon has gone too far to assume that he is kidding around with his people, America and our potential allies in Europe, now waking up to the grim reality of mega-terror. Until proven otherwise, there is no reason not to take him seriously.
As I pointed out some time ago in this column, Ariel Sharon is one of those leaders about whom I have changed my mind at least 20, if not 30 times. This is not because one day he can snuggle up to left-wing peaceniks like Yossi Sarid and Amos Keinan, and the next day to a right-winger like Yitzhak Shamir; and not because he was a soldier in an era when it was customary not to reveal the whole truth to the government, and it became habit-forming; but because he's such a pro at convincing you to believe one thing and then the opposite.
Sharon, who turned the whole country upside down a few weeks ago with his talk about evacuating 17 settlements in the Gaza Strip, because they won't remain there in a permanent accord anyway, is the same Sharon who explained a year or two ago that every settlement in the Gaza Strip is imperative for Israel's defense and impossible to give up. This man was elected on a peace and security ticket, but has brought neither. Instead, the Israeli death toll has risen to 1,000. He promised painful concessions, but not a single illegal outpost has been dismantled.
No wonder his unilateral disengagement initiative, the first step of which is pulling out of the Gaza Strip, has been received with skepticism. Is he serious or playing games again? If he's serious, why aren't there any blueprints? Why hasn't the plan been brought before the government for a vote? If he is really prepared to give up so many settlements in one blow, why isn't it being done in conjunction with the Palestinians? Why hasn't he done anything to get the ball rolling? Why is Bush so hesitant to give his blessing?
Sharon's unilateral separation speech, read out by Ehud Olmert at the gravesite of Ben-Gurion; his remarks at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya; his interview with Haaretz on February 3; his unequivocal statements at the Likud convention later that day - together with the undisguised fury of the settlers - all clearly show that Sharon is going somewhere. The direction he has taken is based on the pragmatic conclusion that Palestinian terror cannot be beaten by force. A strategic change of this kind is typical of an old war horse soon to be put out to pasture - been there and done that. Now he is looking for a suitable finale for his political career.
Is it serious? Ehud Barak says yes. Sharon is doing the right thing and he has faith in him. Peres and Mofaz heard from members of the U.S. administration that Sharon's plan represents a "historic opportunity" to move forward in resolving the conflict. At any rate, if his plan is put into practice - and there is a plan - he will be the first prime minister since Menachem Begin to voice his opposition to occupation in no uncertain terms and evacuate settlements in the occupied territories.
As I flip though the nine pages of notes I took during my talk with Sharon, I keep finding answers to the questions now being thrown at the prime minister. Why unilateral disengagement without an agreement? Because the Palestinians can't follow through on the first prerequisite of the road map, which calls for security before making concessions. Yes, folks, we're talking about evacuation under fire. Why must we pull out of the Gaza Strip entirely? Because leaving a vacuum is dangerous and we have to get our act together in the places where Jews will live after a permanent accord goes into effect.
For all those who wonder why there is no blueprint yet, and why the government has not made a decision, the answers are in this interview. It all boils down to the timetable formulated by Sharon himself. The first thing on his list is to win the consent and support of President Bush. Sharon is obsessive about coordinating every step of the way with him. Next comes working out the operation in detail, preferably with the approval of the Strip's 7,500 settlers. From start to finish, the pullback should be wrapped up in a year or two.
While this is happening, Sharon will drum up political support for the move. Media pundits say that if he submits his proposal to the government now, it doesn't stand a chance. But Sharon is the one who will choose the timing. The current government is preferable, although he may have to settle for second-best - a coalition with Labor. "I hear what the Likud is saying," says Sharon, "and I'm not dismissing it. But I cannot allow it to change what I think must be done from a national point of view."
Sharon has gone too far to assume that he is kidding around with his people, America and our potential allies in Europe, now waking up to the grim reality of mega-terror. Until proven otherwise, there is no reason not to take him seriously.

Birmingham community trust makes Speak Out Safely pledge
Birmingham Community Healthcare Trust has committed to supporting staff raise concerns about the safety and quality of patient care by backing our Speak Out Safely campaign.
Beverly Ingram, trust director of nursing and therapies, said: "We are signing up to the Speak Out Safely campaign, as we fully support the principles which have been set out.
"We know that our staff are often the best people to identify any factors which may jeopardise the safety and care of patients and to recognise when care falls below the standard our patients deserve," she said.
"We want all of our staff to know it is safe for them to speak up when they feel something is wrong."
The SOS campaign launched earlier this year by Nursing Times.
We want the government to introduce a statutory duty of candour compelling health professionals and managers to be open about care failings, trusts to add specific protection for staff raising concerns to whistleblowing policies and ministers to review the Public Interest Disclosure Act.

Michel Hazanavicius
