Officer rescues baby duckling from 'pile of muck'

SARASOTA - A duckling is being treated after a police officer rescued it this morning from a "pile of muck" near a storm drain, according to the Sarasota Police Department.
Officer Juan Sanchez found the duck about 11 a.m. near the intersection of Pompano Avenue and Ringling Boulevard. The distressed duck was covered in mug and struggling to breathe, police report.
Sanchez cleaned the duck, opened its airway and took it to Save Our Seabirds on Longboat Key for treatment.
"The staff at Save Our Seabirds are unbelievable and amazing," Sanchez said in a news release. "I can't say enough good things about them. They care so much about what they do. I find it refreshing and inspiring."
The staff has named the duck Freddy and report that he is doing well.
This isn't the first time an officer has helped a needy creature.
Last August, the department made national news when Officer Derek Conley rescued nearly 100 disoriented sea turtle hatchlings on Lido Key.

wip harry by TelemaniakkWatch

Amazing piece of work so far! Breathtaking detail, especially in the clothing. The flow of the drawing is great, allowing the eye to flow from person to person. Although it is magnificent, I do have some complaints. For one, I think you could brighten up the person all the way to the left's hair a bit more. I think you lost the look of hair a bit and its becoming a bit too dark. It's ok to have dimension in your drawing, but lighten up and make the lighting source a bit more obvious. Secondly, although Harry's face is gorgeous, his cheekbones are a bit too defined for him and its making him look a bit different than how he would usually look. And one thing... I could be wrong, but the guy all the way to his left, forgot his name, I apologize, his eyes are a bit different from each other, the right is higher than the left. Another than that, it's great, and keep up the good work, I enjoy seeing your artwork, and it's cool to see the masterpiece in the making.
The Artist thought this was FAIR

So is this Bush's fault or Gov. Herbert's? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It is nice that Utah has the lowest unemployment rates, but a better statement would be. Can the majority of those employed, live off of what they are paid without having to rely on the Food pantry to eat?? If eligible for state assistance when unemployed, many claim they won't go out and find a job when some of them get paid more on unemployment and some of them receive more on state welfare. My point being why would someone go out and work for someone else when they can stay home and get paid more. Yes many work but how well do they live or can they with the low wages paid in Utah, unless you are fortunate enough to have a degree in a field that is in need of that education. There are many Engineers and holders of Master Degrees that are out there trying to get a job at McDonald's and the many other fast food restaurants.

Utah has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation thanks, in part, due
Being in the top 10 for most federal govt workers per capita

Utah is consistently in the bottom 5 in states receiving federal money per capita, so your comment about federal employees is somewhat puzzling. I guess that means more of those here receiving federal funds actually WORK for them than in most states.
A larger percentage of lands within the state boundaries are owned by the federal government, thus the need for more employees.
You have a problem with church employees?
I think you may just be jealous because Utah is not always ready to fall off a fiscal cliff, as is California. Such a shame, because CA is so rich in resources, both natural and human. It has taken a real skill to botch things up there as horribly as your state has.

We have supposidly the 3rd lowest unemployment rate in the us. (It flip flops between north and south Dakota and Nebraska). There are really no jobs around my hometown except service type jobs and they are few and far between. Even in the bigger towns like Omaha there aren't that many well paying jobs. I hope that this economy starts getting better. It makes the 90s look like the roaring 20's.

I don't disagree. Could it be the "work ethic" is so ingrained in people here in Zion that its better to accept low paying jobs than be on the dole?
per utah cornhusker
Isn't it funny how call and/or distribution centers are par for the course in Red states? I know of several people w/ MBA's or "professional" careers that were unemployed upwards of a year.

Vreid Issues Tour Recap
Norwegian black metallers Vreid recently returned from their Black Path Of America Tour with Kampfar and Necronomicon. The near three-week trek was met with an array of obstacles and weather calamities but was nevertheless a success for the band.
Commented bassist Hváll on the journey: "Our North America headlining tour has come to an end and what a journey this was. We were met by tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes, but managed to pull it off anyway. Unfortunately our New York City show was canceled [due to Hurricane Irene], but New York will be a number one priority for our next North America tour.
"It was pure pleasure for us to see all the diehard fans coming to the shows. Your energy made these shows magical for us. Montreal, Hollywood, Edmonton, Winnipeg, San Francisco and Seattle were all shows that we will remember for a long time to come. Thanks to everyone that attended. Vreid will return."
As previously announced, "Goddamnit," Vreid's 2010 DVD, is now available officially for the first time in the U.S. and Canada via Indie's recently launched North American webshop. The DVD features Vreid's complete performance from the 2009 Inferno festival in Norway, filmed by seven cameras as well as behind-the-scenes footage, band interviews, studio diaries and previously unseen live footage. For more info, go to this location.
Vreid Comments On "Black Path Of America" Tour
Norwegian black metallers Vreid kicked off the Black Path Of America Tour 2011 last week in Toronto and though their arrival was met with a series of weather calamities and one canceled show in NYC due to the prospective threat of Hurricane Irene, the band soldiers on.
Commented bassist Hváll: "Our North America tour has been filled with action so far. An earthquake upon arrival, tornadoes as we entered Toronto and then Irene came and shut down our New York show. Mother earth has unleashed her wrath upon us this time around. We are extremely disappointed that our New York show got canceled, but be sure that Vreid will return. We kicked ass in Toronto and had a great show; next up was Montreal which was massive. An absolutely fantastic show in all ways. The audience of Montreal has to be one of the most dedicated on this planet. Then we hit Kingston, New York. It was good to see people ignoring the rain and fear of Irene, to come to The Basement to rock like a hurricane. Now we are in Cleveland and ready to give a massive dose of Norwegian metal at Peabody's. We hope the upcoming shows will continue in the same good way as the first three. The audience in North America has once again shown their intense dedication, which makes these shows a blast for us. See you soon."

Vreid Comments On Wacken Appearance

Wacken is the Valhalla of metal festivals due to its extreme organization… and it has the best audience in the world. This was one of our best shows ever, and we are now tanked up and ready to unleash our wrath of North America for the next weeks."
Vreid will also be heading to North America in just a few short weeks. "The Black Path Of America" tour 2011 will commence on August 25th in Toronto and tear through over a dozen cities. Vreid will be joined by pagan black metal co-headliners Kampfar and Canadian death metal ensemble Necronomicon.

Kampfar Issues Tour Update
Kampfar has issued the following announcement about the band's upcoming European tour dates:
"European tour update: It is almost time for the European tour and befitting a year of change and turmoil we have to tell you that Jon will not be able to bring his bass bashing tricks to the stage with us. Family issues make it impossible for him to be part of the tour, and initially we were reluctant to perform without his presence, but we are lucky to have a solid replacement lined up. Endre Moe, known from Trail Of Tears, is an old friend and has been on the road with us many times before.
"The step up to bass duties is a natural one, and after a weekend of intense rehearsing we're happy to say that this solution will be a very good one. We'll see you, the Horde, on the road! This tour is for you!"
Kampfar has also been confirmed as the direct support band for Vreid's upcoming North American tour, slated to begin in late August and run through mid-September. This will be Kampfar's first time touring on North American soil, and the latest volley of dates supporting new album "Mare," released last month by Napalm Records. More...

"In 2010 Vreid did some selected shows and festivals, and released their first DVD entitled 'Goddamnit.' Otherwise most time was spend working on their fifth album 'V.' This time they did all the recordings & mixing in Studio 1184. The album was produced by the bands songwriter & bass player Hváll.

"First of all I rebuild my Studio 1184, with good help from our foh & studio janitor Dr.Bentsen. We set up a completely new recordings system. After 4 months of setting up the new studio & working on completing the songs & lyrics, we started the recording in March. More...
Emancer Issues Tour Report
Norway's Emancer has checked in with the following report of the band's European tour with Belphegor and Vreid:
"We're back from 16 days on the road with Belphegor and Vreid, and what a great experience it has been! This was our first tour and getting out to metal fans all over Europe was just amazing. Some places were more lively than others for sure, especially Sofia, Erfurt, Bratislava and generally all the gigs in Spain will bring good memories. And it was great to end the tour at the Metal Invasion Festival in Passau!
"Sadly there were some problems during the tour that lead to a few shows being canceled. We can only say that we're sorry about this, but it was completely out of the hands of the bands. The last thing we want when we're on tour is to cancel gigs, but sometimes we can't do anything about it. Let's hope that we'll have another chance to play in places like Krakow and Marseille at a later time!
"Special thanks goes to the crew guys and sound technician Helge who did an amazing job, and of course to all the guys in Vreid and Belphegor for a great time on the road! If you have any photos or videos from the tour, please don't hesitate to contact us. Meanwhile, external photo galleries are being posted on our website."

I'm using the latest version 1.8.1 of the Video Thumbnails plugin. It worked for the longest time and then randomly sometime in the past few months (I think after a WordPress update) it stopped working and I have been uploading the thumbnails manually. I can't tell you the exact time or which update it was because I wasn't really paying attention to the thumbnails when it stopped working.
I deleted and re-installed the plugin and then ran a "scan past posts" with no luck. I am a novice wordpress user and know very little about wordpress and coding, all I know is the plugin recently stopped working.
My website: TeraBrite.tv
if you scroll down and go to the second page you will see where I neglected to manually upload featured images and the plugin has failed to work.

Leo Santa Cruz rises above it all, eyes more boxing titles
LOS ANGELES — Leo Santa Cruz sat down on a ring apron inside City of Angels Boxing Club one recent afternoon. Moments earlier, he was spending time with a young man in a wheelchair, taking pictures with him and putting a smile on his face.A hell of a boxer, Santa Cruz is also known to be a high-character guy.

China's Alibaba Files To Go Public In The U.S.
The Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has filed for an initial public offering in the United States.
The company runs the largest online and mobile commerce site in the world, controlling a huge portion of the Chinese market. Its intent to go public marks the biggest IPO of the Internet age since Twitter went public in November of 2013.
The Wall Street Journal explains:
"Alibaba's size and growth rate are pushing valuation projections into the stratosphere. Published analysts' estimates for how much the entire company could be worth have ranged from $115 billion to $245 billion, or between around No. 50 and No. 15 among public companies globally, based on market value, according to FactSet.
"So far, the estimates of Alibaba's value have been mostly guesswork based on comparable companies. The IPO prospectus provides the first extensive look at Alibaba's finances. Until now, Alibaba has only disclosed some bare-bones financial information via filings of Yahoo Inc., the holder of a 24% stake."
To give you an idea of just how big Alibaba is, check out this graphic included in the prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:
Singles Day is a major holiday in China and the company took in $5.8 billion in sales that day. It processed 254 million orders.
According to Bloomberg, Alibaba was founded in the apartment of former English teacher Jack Ma. According to data compiled by the news organization, Alibaba is valued at $168 billion — "bigger than 95 percent of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index — and the most valuable Internet company after Google Inc."

Re: Did Arguello really spark Legra in the 1st round?/Did Marcel cheat Arguello?
A few interesting (can't see footnotes listed so again, take 'em with as much as you want) tidbits on Marcel;
Was offered either Olivares as a mando', or a rematch with Spider Nemoto for $150,000 in Japan to come out of retirement. Dunno' where this has come from but Nemoto said after their first fight, the only time he was stopped I think, can't be ****d to check his boxrec page even though I'm on the page about his fight with Marcel
""I felt that his punches were very powerful, the hardest I ever felt. I felt like I was fighting a heavyweight." -Shig Nemoto (from Boxrec, don't remember this being fleshed out before would like it if the person that did it had listed the f'n source!)
Anyway, shows lora that Marcel was also Naz-esque in his ability to crush
Marcel's under performing in the middle rounds was an attempt by him to throw the fight, something he refutes. A non-starter this, you can see from the fight this man was never trying to throw the fight, not by getting stopped or by losing on the cards.
Anyway, Nemoto did later go the 15 with Pedroza, sorry it skits out towards the end
The legend rayrobinson333 also came up with a few fights of Nemoto on youtube, be sure to check 'em out if you care to.
Marcel's trainer, Ramon Dossman, was hired as Arguello's trainer for the few bouts leading up to Olivares.

Discrimination and Harassment
Discrimination and harassment claims often increase in a down economy. Learn the proper techniques for conducing proper workplace harassment investigations, providing sexual harassment training, and more to reduce claims of employment discrimination and preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
Usually, courts considering whether an employee worked in a hostile environment look at a period of weeks, months or years to assess whether the alleged harassment was severe and pervasive enough to become truly hostile. But sometimes just a few days will do the trick.
Employees have a limited window in which to file discrimination complaints and related lawsuits. Miss the deadline and the case is over. That's why it's important to document all employment decisions—even trivial ones—with a note and a date for the record.
Say an applicant tells you she wouldn't be able to work Friday nights due to her religion. Or an employee begins wearing a headscarf to the office. How would you respond? The increasing religious diversity in the workforce is causing more managers to make legal mistakes.

I thought Java had short circuit evaluation, yet this line is still throwing a null pointer exception:
if( (perfectAgent != null) && (perfectAgent.getAddress().equals(entry.getKey())) ) {
In this case
perfectAgent is
null, so I just want the whole expression to return
false, but my app is still crashing on this line with a NullPointerException.
EDIT, general response:
perfectAgent is
null, nothing to the right of the
&& should be executed, as it is impossible for the expression to be true. More to the point, it is impossible to execute
perfectAgent.getAddress() since
perfectAgent does not contain a valid reference (it being null and all). I'm trying to use short circuit evaluation to not have to check for null in a seperate statement as that makes the logic more sloppy.
EDIT 2 (or, I'm an idiot): Yeah, like many things in life you figure out the answer right after announcing to the world that you're a moron. In this case, I had turned off Eclipse's autobuild while doing something else and not turned it back on, so I was debugging class files that didn't match up with my source.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Reading Questions:
1. Where is Sir Gawain riding to at the beginning of the story?
2. Why is he on his way there?
3. How does Sir Gawain describe the surrounding terrain? What might this foreshadow?
4. What strange sight does he come across?
5. What strange sound does he hear? What is the cause of this sound?
6. How does this sound affect Sir Gawain?
7. Why do you think the Green Knight keeps Sir Gawain waiting?
8. How is the Green Knight described? How is his weapon described?
9. What agreement had the two Knights made the previous year?
10. What characteristics does Sir Gawain reveal in his response to the Green Knight?
11. What happens when the Green Knight takes his first swing?
12. How does Gawain respond to the Green Knights threats?
13. Why does the Green Knight stop his second swing?
14. Why is Gawain so angry at this point? What does he accuse the Green Knight of being?
15. What happens on the third attempt?
16. Why has Gawain shown more courage than the Green Knight had?
17. What explanation does the Green Knight give for each of his swings? To what actions do they relate?
18. Why is Gawain crying and so upset with himself?
19. What does the green sash represent? Why does he throw it off?
20. What has Gawain learned from this experience?
Below are 5 essay topics from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
You will choose any of the first 4 and MUST answer #5.
These are your final grades so complete these assignments with great care and attention.
Indent each new paragraph, check spelling, grammar and subject verb agreement.
1. According to some scholars, the poem may have been inspired by English folk plays for the Christmas season. In that case, the role of the Green Knight might have been analogous to that of Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas or, in contemporary times, Santa Claus. Compare the Green Knight to one or more of these figures that personify Christmas.
2. In SGGK, there is a great deal of testing that takes place. Talk about the types of testing, Gawain's ability to pass (or fail) these tests, and what these passings or failings might say about Gawain.
3. Taking a broader look at SGGK, what do you think the moral or theme of the poem could be? What is the message the author is trying to teach his readers?
4. Discuss the Pearl Poet's use of symbolism in SGGK. How does he use symbolism and why? What does this symbolism add to the poem?
5. In a more personal essay (but without "I" or "you") make a connection to our times and SGGK. Do we see modern-day Gawains around us? Where do we see people passing or failing tests such as Gawain faced? You will need to use proof/examples from present-day life AND the SGGK text. Do NOT use "I" or "you".

Maria Cebotari
|Maria Cebotari
Maria Cebotari
|10 February 1910
Chișinău, Bessarabia Governorate, Russian Empire (now Moldova)
|9 June 1949 (aged 39)
Vienna, Austria
|Operatic soprano
|Years active
Alexander Virubov (1929-1938)Gustav Diessl (1938-1948)
Maria Cebotari (10 February 1910 – 9 June 1949) was a celebrated Romanian soprano and actress, one of Europe's greatest opera stars in the 1930s and 1940s.[2][3][4][5][6]
Beniamino Gigli considered Cebotari one of the greatest female voices he ever heard.[7] Maria Callas was compared to her,[8] and Angela Gheorghiu named Maria Cebotari among the artists she admires the most.[9]
Her funeral was "one of the most imposing demonstrations of love and honor any deceased artist has ever received" in the history of Vienna, with thousands of people attending.[10][11][12]
Cebotari was born at Chişinău, studied singing at the Chişinău Conservatory, and in 1929 joined the Moscow Art Theater Company as an actress. Soon she married the company's leader, Count Alexander Virubov.
Moving to Berlin with the company, she studied singing with Oskar Daniel for three months and made her debut as an operatic singer by singing Mimi in Puccini's opera La Bohème at Dresden Semperoper on 15 March 1931. Bruno Walter invited her to the Salzburg Festival, where she sang Euridice in Gluck's opera Orfeo ed Euridice.
In 1935, she sang the part of Aminta in the world premiere of Richard Strauss' opera Die Schweigsame Frau under Karl Böhm at Dresden Semper Opera House. Strauss advised her to move to Berlin, and in 1936 she joined the Berlin State Opera, where she was a prima donna until 1946. That year, she sang Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Zerlina in Don Giovanni, and Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier for Dresden Semper Opera Company's performances at Covent Garden Royal Opera House of London. From then on, she appeared at many great opera houses including Vienna State Opera and La Scala Opera House of Milan.
She divorced Count Virubov in 1938, and married the Austrian actor Gustav Diessl, with whom she had two sons. In 1946, she left Berlin and joined the Vienna State Opera House. She visited Covent Garden again in 1947 with Vienna State Opera Company and sang Salome, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro. On September 27, she was Donna Anna to the Ottavio of Richard Tauber, making his final stage appearance, less than a week before his cancerous left lung was removed. [Ref: Diana Napier Tauber, Richard Tauber, Edinburgh & London, 1949]
Her husband, Gustav Diessl, died of a heart attack on March 20, 1948. She suffered from severe pain during the performance of Le nozze di Figaro at La Scala Opera House in early 1949. At first, doctors did not take it seriously. However, on March 31, 1949, she fell down during the performance of Karl Millöcker's operetta Der Bettelstudent in Vienna. During surgery on April 4, doctors found cancer in her liver and pancreas. She died from cancer on June 9, 1949 in Vienna. British pianist Sir Clifford Curzon adopted her two sons.
Cebotari had an extremely versatile voice, and her repertoire covered coloratura, soubrette, lyric and dramatic roles; for example, she sang both Carmen and Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro, Violetta in La traviata and Salome in the same season. She concentrated on four composers - Mozart, Richard Strauss, Verdi, Puccini. Richard Strauss described her as "the best all-rounder on the European stage, and she is never late and she never cancels". Herbert von Karajan, during a BBC interview decades after her death, said she was the greatest "Madame Butterfly" he had ever conducted.
Beside her successful career at the opera houses, Cebotari appeared in several films related to opera—such as "Verdi's Three Women", "Maria Malibran", "The Dream of Madame Butterfly".
She also played in the movie "Odessa in fiamme (Odessa in flames)", in 1942, directed by Italian director Carmine Gallone (script by Nicolae Kiriţescu). The movie is a Romanian-Italian co-production, about the drama of the refugees from Bessarabia (Republic Moldova), in World War II and does homage to the Romanian troops who freed Bessarabia from the Red Army which occupied it in 1940. The movie includes contemporary newsreels showing refugee columns running away. It won the great prize at the Festival of Venice, in 1942.
Maria Cebotari plays the role of Maria Teodorescu, opera singer from Bessarabia, who was in Chisinau with her 8-year-old son at the time of the invasion. The boy was taken somewhere in Odessa. The mother was told that he will be maintained in a camp, where he will be educated as a man again, as Soviet. The mother agrees to sing Russian songs in theaters and taverns but only to get her son back. Maria Teodorescu sings in those places, sharing pictures of hers. One such image is found by chance by her husband, who is in Romanian army with the rank of captain (he was in Bucharest at the time of the invasion). In the end the family reunites. Unfortunately, the history of the movie was a sad one. Because of the invasion by Soviet troops in Bucharest in 1944, the movie became banned, along with many others, and the actors in the movie arrested. Many such movies were either destroyed or censored and nothing was heard of it for more than 50 years. Luckily, someone re-discovered it in the Cinecittà archives in Rome, and it was shown for the first time in Romania in December 2006.
Director Victor Druc's documentary "Aria" (2005) about the life of Maria Cebotari faced difficulties when screening in Moldova during the Communist administration (which ended in 2009), due to a part in the movie where the soprano self-identifies as Romanian, contrary to the official policy of the Communist government that calls the ethnic majority Moldovan, rather than Romanian [13] See also Controversy over linguistic and ethnic identity in Moldova.
Many of her surviving recordings are from live performances - either in the opera houses or in the studio for radio broadcast. They have now been almost all digitally remastered and their general quality is remarkable. Her complete recording of Salome (live performance on September 30, 1947, at Covent Garden) shows that she is one of the greatest Salomes captured in recordings, in spite of extremely poor sound quality.
The Austrian CD label Preiser has issued several of her CDs, among which is The Art of Maria Cebotari and Maria Cebotari singt Eichard Strauss.
- Mozart - Le nozze di Figaro (Böhm 1938, in German/Ahlersmeyer, Teschemacher, Schöffler, Wessely, Böhme) Preiser
- Puccini - Turandot (Keilberth 1938, in German/Hauss, Buchta, Hann, Eipperle, Harlan, Schupp, Kiefer), Koch-Schwann
- Schoeck - Das Schloss Dürande (Heger live 1943, excerpts/Anders, Berglund, Fuchs, Domgraf-Fassbaender, Greindl, Hüsch), Jecklin
- R. Strauss - Salome (Krauss 1947 live/Rothmüller, Höngen), Gebhardt

Ever wanted to party with Kim Dotcom? Well now you can.
The German internet mogul has offered 2000 free tickets to a
party at Auckland's Shed 10 venue on Monday night.
Dotcom is throwing the "Party Party"to celebrate his 40th
birthday and the release of his new music album "Good Times".
It will also coincide with the second anniversary of the
FBI-initiated raids on Dotcom's Coatesville mansion.
He tweeted the news of the bash this afternoon: "The Party
Party - #TPP IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC! You are all invited".
Dotcom will host the party along with some "very, very
special guests".
News of Dotcom's bash came as he continued to drop hints
about a potential run at politics.
On Sunday he tweeted to his 340,000 followers: "My political
party will activate non-voters, the youth, the Internet
electorate. We are going to make politics exciting. More on
January 20".
Dotcom can't stand for Parliament as he is not a New Zealand
citizen, but he can play a central role, with his millions
meaning any party he created wouldn't be short on funds.
Tickets to party are available here

By Spc. Paul HolstonApril 9, 2011
Imagine that you are deployed to a foreign country for 12 months and not receiving a single letter or package from anyone. The stressful work hours and austere environment affect your morale, but feeling like no one back home cares about you can make it even harder to get by each day.
Fortunately, there are people who do care about service members. People who thank each and every one for the sacrifices made when serving away from home in defense of the nation.
Operation Gratitude and The Letters Home Project are two of the many service member support organizations that send letters, packages and goodies. Most importantly, these organizations let deployed service members know that someone cares everyday.
Operation Gratitude is a nonprofit, volunteer-based organization created by Carolyn Blashek, which annually sends numerous care packages and letters of support to U.S. military service members deployed overseas, as well as wounded warriors recovering in transition units.
Blashek said Operation Gratitude's mission is to lift morale, put a smile on a service member's face and express the American peoples' appreciation for the sacrifices of the men and women who defend their freedom.
Since it began in 2003, Operation Gratitude has sent more than 600,000 care packages addressed to individual Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen in hostile regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The organization sends a care package to every deployed service member whose name is received.
Blashek is continually contacted by leaders and commanders in theater who see the positive impact of Operation Gratitude care packages on the morale of their troops in combat.
"Receiving a care package just makes you feel like someone cares," said Spc. Marselle Walker, an automated field artillery and tactical data systems specialist with Company A, XVIII Airborne Corps.
Another organization, The Letters Home Project, dedicates its time and effort to providing other items that service members would need during deployment.
As an individual, Sara Coca, founder of The Letters Home Project, provides writing materials for about 10 different military support groups in order to give service members the tools needed to write home. She started the project nearly six years ago in July 2005.
Some Soldiers on Victory Base Complex, like Spc. Nelson Montalvo, the executive administrative assistant to the political advisor of the deputy commanding general for operation, have a history with the organization.
When Montalvo was on his first deployment in Iraq in 2009, he saw boxes filled with a variety of cards from The Letter's Home Project. He wrote a letter to Coca, thanking her for her support.
"People like Sarah Coca take the time out and do these things for us," said Montalvo. "Because of the efforts they put in, we should thank them for that."
Montalvo and Coca ultimately became pen pals.
Coca said she gets a great deal of joy in hearing that what she provides brings some type of comfort to alleviate some stress and trauma felt by the troops and their families. "It's the philosophy of every single little bit counts."
The Letters Home Project was always intended to be a humanitarian effort and a labor of love to show her gratitude for the freedom she has as a U.S. citizen, said Coca.
"I think it's very important for our troops to be able to keep in touch with their families back home," she said. "I have a great deal of compassion for the troops and what their families must go through back home during times of war."
Capt. Peter Francik, chief of tactical data link for the Air Force research lab, said knowing that people are thinking about you back home and sending something can boost a service member's morale greatly while being in theater.
As of March 2011, more than 719,000 correspondence kits have been shipped to service members since her humanitarian effort began.
Operation Gratitude and The Letters Home Project continue to send boxes for service members here in Iraq, letting them know that your efforts are not forgotten as you complete the Operation New Dawn mission.
By all accounts, the efforts of these organizations are not going unnoticed either.
"These are excellent programs because I think it's a morale booster, without their motivation and support we can't do what we do," said Montalvo.
To contact Operation Gratitude for information and to submit a request for care packages, email at email@example.com. To contact The Letter's Home Project for any requests, email email@example.com.

Mitt Romney and Hugo Chávez Have Something in Common
The 47 percent vs. the 45 percent.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez won a fourth term last night, beating his opponent by a margin of 54 percent to 45 percent in a closer-than-usual election. Now, according to the Times, Chávez is going to have quite a bit of fence-mending ahead of him:
Mr. Chávez spent much of the year insulting and trying to provoke Mr. Capriles and his followers. And on Sunday night, he had to face the fact that the people he taunted as squalid good-for-nothings ... turned out to be nearly half the electorate.
Wild. Politics are just so different down there.

|Planets, Stars and Atmosphere
|16th floor in the Sky
|Kayra and Yer Tanrı
Ay Tanrı
Bai-Ülgen or Ülgen (Old Turkic: Bey Ülgen; also spelled Bai-Ulgen, Bai-Ülgen, Bay-Ulgan, Bay-Ulgen, or Bay-Ülgen; Khakas: Ülgen, Cyrillic: Ӱлген, Russian: Ульгень or Ульге́нь, Ottoman: اولگن) is a Turkic and Mongolian creator-deity, usually distinct from Tengri but sometimes identified with him in the same manner as Helios and Apollo. His name is from Old Turkic bay, "rich", and ülgen, "magnificent". Ulgan is believed to be without either beginning or end.
In Turkic and Mongolian mythology, the birch tree, regarded as a cosmic axis between earth and sky, was regarded as sacred to him, as was the horse (horse-sacrifice was a part of his worship).[1] Ulgan symbolizes goodness, welfare, abundance, plentiness of food, water, etc. Furthermore, he created earth, heaven and all living beings. In addition, he controls the atmospheric events and movements of stars.[2] He creates land for people to live on, the heads of both humans and animals and the rainbow. He was regarded as the patron god of shamans and the source of their knowledge.
It is believed that Ulgan has been created from Tengri (Tengere Kayra Khan). He is the highest deity after Tengri in the Mongo-Turkic pantheon. Often, Ulgan is compared with Tengri and at times they are thought to be on par, or even the same. In some sayings, the name/function of Ulgan may be (partially) interchangeable with that of Tengri.
Ulgan is described as the enemy of Erlik who is the god of evil and darkness. Ulgen assumes the protectorship of humankind against him.
Bai-Ulgan lives on the sixteenth floor of the sky above the stars, sun and moon in a golden house. Mere humans may never reach him, excepting shamans or kams, who possess astral powers. Animals are used for sacrifice in worship of him, especially horses. Once in every third, sixth, ninth, or twelfth year, a shaman may sacrifice a white horse as the first step of reaching Ulgan. Then he must ride its soul, penetrate through all the layers of heaven until he reaches Ulgan. Firstly, the kam(shaman) meets Yayık who is the servant of Ulgan. This entity informs the kam whether or not the offering has been accepted. If the sacrificial rite has been successful, the shaman is able to learn from the omniscient Ulgan of impending dangers, such as bad harvests.
Children of Ulgan[edit]
Ulgan has seven sons, named Akoğlanlar (White Boys) or Kıyatlar. They are "Karakush Khan, Karshyt Khan, Pura Khan, Burcha Kan, Yashyl Khan, Er-Kanym Khan, Bakty Khan". And he has nine daughters,[3][4][5] that named Akkızlar and Kıyanlar. But no one knows their names. His daughters are source of inspiration for shamans.[6]
They are the sons of Ulgan.
- Karshyt Han or Karşıt: The god of purity.
- Pura Han or Bura: The god of horses.
- Burcha Han or Burça Kan: The god of prosperity.
- Yashyl Han or Yaşıl Kan: The god of nature.
- Karakush Han or Karakuş: The god of birds.
- Kanym Han or Er Kanım: The god of confidence.
- Bakhty Han or Baktı Kan: The god of blessing.

Why use JSNLog
- You probably log server side events using a logging package such as Log4Net, Elmah, or NLog.
- However, you're not logging JavaScript events. Missing out on exception information makes fixing bugs in live JavaScript code much harder.
- Fix this by installing JSNLog.
Now you can add logging to your JavaScript:
window.onerror = function (msg, url, line, col, exception) { JL().fatalException(msg, exception); }
- JSNLog sends the log data to the server and into your server side log.
- Your logs now have both the server and client side events. You can correlate them with request ids.
- Install JSNLog
Demos and sample code
6 minute introduction
Vital Stats
- Supports IE 8+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari (desktop/mobile).
- Free, open source (MIT).
- Use stand alone, as an AMD module, ES6 module or CommonJS module with Browserify, or with bundles. Available on cdnjs.
- Use as an ASP.NET 4.x HTTP Handler or OWIN Middleware Component.
- Or as an ASP.NET Core Middleware Component with .NETFramework 4.5.2 or .NETStandard 1.6.
- No dependencies on other JavaScript libraries.
- Fully documented: API docs, examples, how to's, videos.
Log important JavaScript events
Insert loggers in your JavaScript
JL().info("log message");
Optionally use logger names
JL("jsLogger").info("log message");
Log JavaScript exceptions, with their stack traces
try { ... } catch(e) { JL().fatalException("Exception info", e); }
Configure loggers in your web.config
<logger name="jslogger" level="FATAL" />
Or in server side code
loggers = new List
{ new Logger { name = "jsLogger", level = "FATAL" } }
Or configure them in your JavaScript code
JL("jsLogger").setOptions({ "level": 4000 });
Log objects as well as strings
var obj = {"f1": "v1", "f2": "v2"}; JL().log(2500, obj);
Pass in function that returns log info
JL().log(2500, function() { // Only executed when log info // will actually be logged. var loginfo = expensiveOperation(); return loginfo; });
See which messages belong to the same request
|Request ID
|A debug message
|An error message
|Some other message
|Yet another message
|A fatal message
Use a single logging end point for multiple sites
<jsnlog defaultAjaxUrl="http://my-api-domain.com/jsnlog.logger" corsAllowedOriginsRegex="^http://my-xyz-domain[.]com$"> </jsnlog>
Filter out what you don't need
Only log high severity messages
// Only log messages with severity ERROR or higher
<logger level="ERROR" />
Suppress messages that match a regular expression
<logger disallow="suppress me" />
Only log for certain user agents or IP addresses
<logger userAgentRegex="MSIE 7|MSIE 8" />
Limit total messages sent to server
<jsnlog maxMessages="3">
Reduce AJAX requests by batching log messages
<ajaxAppender name="appender1" batchSize="3"/>
Suppress duplicate messages
|x too high (x = 5)
|x too high (x = 6)
|x too high (x = 7)
|x too high (x = 8)
|x too high (x = 9)
Get the info you need, but only when you need it
- To solve JavaScript exceptions, you often need to know what happened before they happened.
- But you don't want to send trace messages with that context unless there actually is an exception.
- Solution: JSNLog lets you buffer log messages on the client, and only send them when there is a fatal message.

in comments or posts? Ive written wp-chunk which handles links inside comments. If youre patient, I might look at fixing it up to do the same thing with links within posts.
hey whooami, im interested in posts, pages and sidebar...if its possible
BTW: Haha, seen your website...its nice to see another trance fan here! :D
:) yah, i love my trance!
The trouble I see with doing all of that is the risk of issues with other plugins. Some people use recent comment plugins, for instance.. that display excerpts of actual comments. If that excerpt contained a link, it may or may not be shortened. Post content (including pages) and comment content is simple, stuff that might be otherwise dependant on another plugin for display presents a whole nother issue.
know what i mean?
I see...OK, so how do i do it just for Post content?
I have some free time today, ill see what I can do. drop your email into my contact page so I have a way to get a hold of ya.
Ooh nice of you! Ive sent you one at lovemail

Duct and Cover: Kitchen Exhaust Hoods That Breathe Style
No longer just clunky overhead filters for sucking up cooking fumes, range hoods now combine attractive designs with new technology, while putting a dash of color in the kitchen
The home fixture with the dirtiest job in the kitchen is cleaning up its image.
Modern designs for range hoods—stove overheads designed to suck up and filter cooking exhaust—have transformed the typically clunky necessity into an attractive addition.
Altered design concepts and new technology allow hoods to glow all night, save space and energy, and add a dash of color to the kitchenscape.
Here is a sample of the hoods:
Back in Circulation
Range-hood manufacturer Elica, of Fabriano, Italy, uses an air-recirculating process instead of traditional ducting in some of its designs. The process involves a high-powered fan and a series of stainless-steel mesh grease filters and carbon filters that clean the air above the stove of smoke and fumes before releasing it back into the kitchen. Ducting pushes the air outside through a ceiling or wall vent. Recirculating pieces, like Elica's Star chandelier-style hood, hang freely and work best in large kitchens with island cooking spaces. They can double as air purifiers in other rooms of the home. Cost: $3,849 for the Star
Making Waves
Japanese woodblock prints of an unsettled ocean inspired the design of this cast-copper range hood by Bastille Metal Works of Savannah, Ga. The 700-pound hood was styled to sit above a flat-surface teppanyaki grill. It took Bastille owner and designer Chris Plummer three months to finish the custom piece for a home in southern Florida. Cost: $40,000
Quiet, but Bright
San Francisco-based Zephyr Ventilation specializes in clean-look, energy-efficient range hoods. Former Apple designer Robert Brunner created Zephyr's Horizon wall mount, a lightweight, minimalist hood with an ultraquiet fan and halogen lights that brighten cooking areas. The piece's black glass surface is etched with a links design. Horizon also is produced in solid colors and with a white glass-leaf design.
Cost: $3,589
Skylines, Galaxies
Residential range-hood manufacturer Futuro Futuro hails from Treviso, Italy, a region known for Prosecco wine and tiramisu dessert. The company makes more than 200 models of home-kitchen range hoods. Its most popular Murano Collection hood can be used ducted and ductless. Murano hoods, which come in designs ranging from zebra print to a New York City skyline, are wrapped in glass and illuminated from within with LED bulbs. The Murano Orion has a galactic image designed for modern kitchen styles. Cost: $1,895 to $2,995 for a Murano, depending on style and size
Modern Makeup
Best, a range-hood company based in the Marche region of Italy with U.S. headquarters in Hartford, Wis., uses powerful, modern wall and island hoods with minimal duct size. The Lipstick range hood comes in brushed stainless steel with red detailing. It makes the simple cylinder, a range-hood shape the company says has become increasingly popular in Europe, more interesting by suggesting a lipstick case. Cost: $1,529 for the Lipstick range hood
