Larry Kinney from the Powhatan Water Dept showed us a valve needed for water to get to our homes.
Larry showed us how a water meter works.
Larry brought and showed how he uses some of his equipment to test our water.
This is a brace that is used to fix many of the water breaks that we have had.
Here is some more of the things that he uses on the job everyday.
Miss Anna read us Wacky Wednesday.
We had to find what was wrong on the pages of the book and tell Miss Anna.
While we wait for the program to start, we browse through some of the books here @ the library.
Susan West from th OSU Extension Office had a program Make a Splash with Color!
She showed how to mix primary colors to make secondary colors.
She also showed us what colors are used to make brown and black.
Some of us dressed up for Wacky Wednesday.
We made suncatchers to show that learned that light makes color.
Na-Yung from Oglebay's Good Zoo came to show us some animals.
She gave us some rules to follow while handling the animals.
The first animal that she showed us was an African millipede.
We had to wet our fingers before we could pet Winky the Tiger Salamander.
Todd the Toad felt bumpy when we touched him.
Pete the alligator was a bit nervous while he was visiting us.
Brittany Stalder read the book Steamboat in a Cornfield.
We learned about how people traveled on the river many years ago.
Our speaker for this weeks program was Lisa Schlanz. She taught us all about water colors.
She also taught us how to use our paint brushes the right way.
We used the watercolors to make our own artwork.
We framed out art when we wer finished painting it.
We finished up by using black paint over top of the watercolors to make designs.
We sent for painted lady larvae and watched them as they grew in the library.
We released them behind the library.
As they flew out of their habitat, one landed on a grandmother's fingers.
We waited patiently as the butterflies flew out.
Anna read us a book about fish.
She also read us "There Was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Shell"
We made a craft that went along with the stories that we heard.
We made angel fish.
They turned out so well!
We used many different bright colors to make our fish look pretty.
We love to make crafts at the library.
Dave Corwin from Marble King talked to us about the history of marbles.
We learned that even Native Americans made marbles.
We discussed the Water Water Everywhere Contest that we had @ the library.
Dave showed us how to shoot marbles.
We all got a chance to play.
We also made a craft.
We used our finger prints to make fish in a fish bowl.
It was harder than it looked to get the marble where we wanted it to go!
Our fish bowls turned out great!
It was nice learning where marbles came from and how to play with them too!
We had a lot of fun at our Pool Party!
We had some goooooood food
We always make Harry Potter wands
Anna lost the wager because we filled the library's windows with paper water drops showing the books we read.
We got to throw water balloons at her
This one was a little too close!
Noah's name was drawn to smash the pie in Anna's face.
And after !
We are enjoying the new computers

People see a picture of an apple and think TWILIGHT! It cheapens the due credit to the artists who have used those common fruits in very creative ways. Well done with the swirls, and the lighting and focus is perfect.
love it
beautiful pic !

twilight the most horribly written series ever she made vampires and werewolves look bad with her stupid book
I love the fact that it wasn't inspired by Twilight

I'm using P3, but have to switch it off after every scan (or is it even recommended by the author to switch it off?) as I don't have access to my "all pages" list in my admin area with the activated plugin.
Are there any known compatibility problems with other plugins (e.g. cache plugins like W3 Total Cache)?

The shoe has soft cushion on the bed of the shoe which adds to the overall comfort. I will add the leather is very soft and not stiff and it also, has a sheen that adds to the uniqueness of shoe.
Cute shoe. Loved the color and style, but there is no arch support and the peep toe opening cut into my toe. Had to return them.

Jason and Nina posing at the trailhead for the Winsor Trail
Poor snow conditions and unusually warm weather setup a great day to head to the Santa Fe Baldy.
All the snowshoe traffic had packed down the trail, so we were able to run many sections.
nice lines near Raven's Ridge
our first glimpse of our destination
Sarah and Jason posing at the Puerto Nambe junction
an insanely large igloo near Puerto Nambe
A timber supported room made for tons of room inside.
Nina waiting to pounce on a rabbit as it comes out of its snow hole
great view of the Santa Fe Baldy
We got hammered by the wind once we broke above tree line.
Sarah posing along the summit ridge
Jason and Nina peering down into the abyss
Jason and Nina mustered the energy for a sprint to the summit. I chose to crawl.
We had to hold on to each other so that the wind wouldn't blow us off the summit.
I made Jason snap one of his trademark self portraits.
not much snow on the Jemez Mountains, sadly
cool view of the Truchas Peaks and the Pecos Baldy
Sarah and Jason quickly descending the ridge
awesome backdrop for some trail running
"Get out of my way, Nina!"
We made it back to the trailhead in 4:30, which was fast for us but was 45 minutes slower than usual for Jason. He's a bit faster than us. Ok, a lot faster.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Coders' Rights Project
The Electronic Frontier Foundation would like to thank all of the attendees at this year's Black Hat USA, Security BSidesLV, and DEF CON conferences in Las Vegas. We are humbled by the infosec community's outpouring of generosity to sustain EFF's work defending coders rights and upholding our freedoms online.
Say hello to EFF's second, limited-edition, DEF CON membership t-shirt! Only 340 premium-level donors who attend this year's DEF CON 19 in Las Vegas will be able to get these new "ENCRYPTION SAVES" shirts, specially designed by Joe Alterio of the creative charity Robots & Monsters. The front is emblazoned with a mashup of the DEF CON and EFF logos in a subtle homage to our mutual support (as well as a shout-out to EFF's advocacy for remix culture and fair use). Under UV light, the orange, white and blue design on the shirt's back glows white with acid green bits of code. In complete darkness, a secret message is revealed, illuminating the plain text truth that strong encryption saves lives. Mouse over the image below to experience the glow-in-the-dark awesomeness.
Think you know what to do when law enforcement seeks access to your digital device? Test your skills with our online quiz. Then brush up on your knowledge with our Know Your Rights whitepaper.
We also highly recommend you print our one-page guide explaining what to do when the police ask for access to your device. Leave it by your workstation, tape it up in your server room, and slip a copy into your laptop case—anywhere you have sensitive information on a digital device.
Are you planning to be in Las Vegas during Black Hat, DEF CON, and BSidesLasVegas next month? EFF attorneys are available to provide legal information to security researchers about issues such as reverse engineering, vulnerability reporting, copyright, and free speech.
If you have concerns about security research you plan to present in Las Vegas, let us know by Friday, July 15. To set up a less time-sensitive appointment to speak with us at Black Hat, please contact us by Friday, July 22. If we can't assist you, we'll make every effort to put you in touch with an attorney who can.
EFF would like to thank the contest entrants and the numerous team supporters for making our second annual DEF CON Getaway Contest a success! Together, we've surpassed last year's competition with a participant total of $7,542.04 for online rights defense — great work! This year, the battle for supremacy continued to the very end. Without further ado, here are this year's top contest fundraisers:
Grand Prize Winner: Team ISD Podcast!
Congratulations! You've won a standard suite at the Rio Hotel and Casino, two DEF CON 19 Human badges, two tickets to Vegas 2.0's (in)famous kickoff party theSummit, two badges for the ultra-exclusive Ninja Networks Party, two passes to the iSEC Partners party, AND an EFF Swag Super Pack!

ON A SUNNY Saturday in late April, some 4,000 cars and trucks crawled up 16th Street in northwest Washington, D.C., ferrying loads of electronic and other wastes to drop off at the city's semiannual hazardous waste collection event. The lines stretched for miles and tempers grew short as residents inched along, waiting for more than three hours to leave their junk in a big parking lot. Finally, as they got to the actual drop-off spot, . . .

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Attorneys for Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis have filed a new appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Defense attorneys said Friday that Davis didn't get a fair hearing from federal judge picked by the high court to hear evidence that Davis says proves he's innocent.
Davis is fighting his death sentence for the 1989 slaying of Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail.
The Supreme Court ordered the rare hearing to explore whether he is innocent.
A judge later ruled Davis' attorneys failed to prove that he was wrongly convicted.
Davis' attorneys said the judge unfairly refused to hear testimony at the June hearing from witnesses who said another man confessed to the crime.
They also said the judge failed to consider the impact other testimony would have had on an average juror.

Portuguese voted Sunday in municipal elections in what amount to the first test of the austerity policies of the two-year-old centre-right coalition government.
Some 9.5 million eligible voters are asked to go to the polls, which close at 7:00 pm (1800 GMT), to elect representatives for 308 city halls.
"Whether they are from the right or the left, the Portuguese hope the government will be punished in one way or another" for fully applying the austerity policies prescribed by international creditors, political scientist Antonio Costa Pinto told AFP.
In exchange for a 78-billion-euro ($105-billion) rescue package in May 2011, Portugal's government has imposed tax hikes and wage and pension cuts in a bid to balance the budget, aggravating a downturn that has sent unemployment to a record 17.7 percent at the beginning of this year.
Despite spreading discontent the Portuguese government has largely pushed forward with measures to repair the public finances as it seeks further disbursements of bailout funding.
The vote comes as auditors from the "troika" of the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the European Central Bank are in Lisbon to review Portugal's progress and decide whether to release a 5.5-billion-euro loan instalment.
Opinion polls forecast a big victory for the incumbent socialist mayor of Lisbon, Antonio Costa.
Many independent candidates are running in the municipal elections -- the case in second city Porto, which is currently run by the conservative Social Democratic party of Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.
The latest polls give independent candidate Rui Moreira the lead over conservative Luis Filipe Menezes.
Passos Coelho himself has insisted that "the municipal election results will have no effect on national policy."
The opposition Socialists hope to capitalise on the discontent in Portuguese households. Socialist Party leader Antonio Jose Seguro has urged voters to "make the right choice on Sunday".

This often happens because the Flash file was not properly uploaded. Please download the plugin and copy the files to you server.
I just installed wordpress.com stats this morning and it's picking up the data fine but the graph won't display. Updated WP to 2.9.1 and flash player 10 (again) just in case - still won't display. Thoughts? Thnks
I did the manual upload, same problem. However the graph works fine from my other sites, just not this one.
Same problem. Blog hosted by my own server. Updated to WP 2.9.1 and WordPress.com stats 1.6.1. Now no stats graphs will display. The data is there.
Reinstalled WordPress stats 1.6.1 plugin. Still does not display graphs.
Used both Firefox 3.5.7 (with Adobe flash player 10) and IE 8 (with Adobe flash player 9) and neither display stats graph.
Searched forums and found several reports of similar behavior but no fix suggested worked for me.
I can see my blog stats (including graphs) by logging in to Worpress.com.
It seems this problem has been floating around for over six months so I assume there must be a fix...I just cannot seem to find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have seen this problem caused by failures to serve the flash file at wp-content/plugins/stats/open-flash-chart.swf. Try loading that in your browser. If it doesn't load, either the file
isn't installed properly or your server is configured not to serve it.
Thanks andy!
It was a problem with my server. My apache httpd server ver. 2.2.9 does not like the .htaccess file included in the new version of stats. I removed that file and it works fine now!
I did notice the .htaccess file was in the new update but then did not try removing it to fix things....I tried almost everything else.
Perhaps this will help others that are having this problem.
rollinsr: I'm glad to hear you fixed the problem but unsettled by the new mystery of what's wrong with the .htaccess file. I haven't run into that problem myself. If you have the time and inclination to find out why Apache doesn't like it, I'd be very grateful to know.
I have the same issue since upgrade - no graphs, but lists are fine. It also haThere is a server dimension:
- Firefox/home PC/ADSL network - no graphs
- IE7 laptop/home ADSL - no graphs
- IE7 (same)laptop/company network - no graphs on dashboard but graphs on ststs page... (!!)
All were replete with graphs before last update.
andy: There is nothing wrong with the .htaccess file. Rather, it is that some server admin (such as myself on my own server) have very tight security on the httpd server (apache) which provides public access to directories on the server.
In order for apache to read .htaccess files in a given directory, that directory must have the AllowOverride directive enabled. This sort of issue is discussed here (under "Fixing Other Issues") in connection with using WordPress permalinks.
The AllowOverride directive is set in the httpd.conf configuration file for the apache httpd.
I had used the restrictive:
AllowOverride FileInfo to allow WordPress to use a .htaccess file to format permalinks for my blog, but that is not sufficiently permissive to allow the
Allow from All directive that is in the .htaccess file included in stats 1.6.1 update. Hence apache stopped upon reading the .htaccess file and did not even try to open the .swf file. I could fix this without getting access to the httpd configuration file by simply removing the .htaccess file from the stats plugin directory. (The
Allow from All directive was already set for my blog directory anyway in the httpd.conf file).
To make sure that this explanation is correct, I went into the httpd.conf file and opened up the blog directory to any .htaccess file by replacing
AllowOverride FileInfo with
AllowOverride All and restarted the httpd server. Now my blog displays the stats with graphs using the original update 1.6.1 (with the .htaccess file) as distributed. This "fix" would not be available to the general user without admin privileges for the httpd server. I left my server set up this way so that the next update should work with no trouble.
Sorry about the length of my response, but I wanted to be as clear as possible.
Thank you for the verbose response. When I added the .htaccess I did not know that Apache could be configured such that my directive would cause the file to become inaccessible. Do you know a way to rewrite the Stats .htaccess file to avoid this conflict?
For context: I added the .htaccess file in response to a user whose charts would not appear because his wp-content directory included a .htaccess file forbidding access to all files.
andy: As I understand things, Apache will not read .htaccess files in a directory unless some
AllowOverride directive is enabled for that directory. I tried the following
AllowOverride settings for my blog directory with the results noted:
AllowOverride None
Your stats plugin works fine. [I guess this is because Apache does not even look for .htaccess files at all, so your .htaccess file is simply ignored. (Most WordPress servers would not be set this way because fancy permalinks probably would not work.)]
AllowOverride FileInfo (so WordPress permalinks work)
Your stats plugin does NOT work UNLESS I remove the .htaccess file. [I guess this is because Apache now reads the file and finds the Allow statement is not allowed to be overridden and reports an error AND apparently denies all access to *.swf files in the stats directory.]
AllowOverride FileInfo Limit
AllowOverride All
Your stats plugin works fine in either case.
I believe one of the latter Apache server configurations is NECESSARY in order for your stats plugin to work as is. I don't think it is possible to fix this from within the .htaccess file itself. What you need is a conditional statement to check the
AllowOverride directive status before the Allow statement and I don't think such conditional statements exist.
Of course, your .htaccess worked to override the users .htaccess file in the directory above because the Apache configuration had to have been set as indicated above or his .htaccess file would not have worked. But your fix broke it for others because of the (strange) way Apache behaves when it finds an unallowed statement in a .htaccess file.
Deleted that htaccess file, works fine , thanks a lot!
I installed a stats plug-in a few days ago. I am receiving statistics, referrals and stuff like that, but my stats chart is completely blank.
How do I get it working so I can see the line graphs?
My stats plugin info:
WordPress.com Stats
WordPress Version 2.9.1 | Version 1.6.1 | By Andy Skelton
Also, I noticed Andy mentioned checking out this file:
I am confused. The installation instructions say to upload only "stats.php" to the appropriate directory. Are we supposed to upload that entire folder or just that one php file??? (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/installation/)
Thank you
Yep, that was it.
Andy, I notice on your product page that 40 people say this plugin works and 28 say it's broken. I am willing to bet that many people assume it's broken because of the confusing installation instructions and they never bother take a second look at it. I would recommend revising the instructions for installing this plugin.
Otherwise this seems like a good feature.
peppies: thanks for spotting that! I've uploaded new instructions. They will show up there soon.
Deleted that htaccess file, it now works fine.
Just to echo from above, deleting the .htaccess is unnecessary, you just need to tell Apache that the file is allowed to override limit directives:
AllowOverride Limit
Which, if you are using permalinks would be:
AllowOverride FileInfo Limit
Deleting the .htaccess file worked for me! Thanks!
...deleting worked for me too.
Hi Andy,
I've just changed over from an Australian host to Media Temple.
When reinstalling Stats, I cannot find the blog account my existing stats were sitting under.
I have two WordPress.com accounts, each with a series of self-hosted blogs (most of them non existing but I don't know how to clean up this mess).
I have just spent an hour going through each of them, deactivating and re-activating Stats so it prompts me to enter the API key to replace the blog account.
Every single one of them returns ZERO stats.
I have gone through this process successfully a few times over the past couple of years but for some reason this time it won't work.
I've read through the forum q&a but from the stuff I understand, there's nothing I haven't tried.
I'm frustrated as my blog has been experiencing some great traffic increase and I like monitoring it through Stats!
Any ideas?

If patience is a virtue, perhaps sainthood should be bestowed upon Danny Murtaugh, the frequent manager and one time secondbaseman of the Pirates. He not only won two World Championships as field leader of the club, but dealt with sometimes difficult personalities, manipulated undermanned pitching staffs and used his sense of humor to not only lead his players but handle the media extremely well as he was one of the most quoted figures in Pittsburgh sports during his over quarter of a century association with Pittsburgh's ballclub. Still, he credited his players for the success of the team rather than taking the spotlight, often caricaturing himself. Lampooning a quote attributed to Dodger manager Charlie Dressen who told his charges if they kept the game close, he'd figure out a way for them to win, Murtaugh said, "Blow everyone away. Don't expect me to outmanage anybody. If you keep me close in the eighth inning, I'll blow it every time."
Murtaugh's lessens in patience began early. He broke in with a terrible Phillie team as a secondbaseman in Though he appeared in only 85 games and hit just .219, the rookie led the league in stolen bases with 18, using his baseball savvy as well as his speed to accomplish the feat. Murtaugh's hitting improved against wartime competition until he went into the service in 1944. When he returned in '46, he played in only six major league games before being sent to Rochester and was drafted by the Boston Braves following the season. He spent most of 1947 in the minors as well, with Milwaukee.
When Billy Meyer was named Pirate manager for 1948, he asked that Murtaugh be included with JohnnyHopp in a trade which saw the Pirates relinquish Johnny Russell, Bill Salkeld and Al Lyons. Murtaugh had an excellent year in '48. He hit .290, setting career highs in hits and games played. Defensively, he led the league in put outs, assists and double plays and his fielding percentage was just one point behind the league leader, Jackie Robinson. Frankie Frisch, who was working as a broadcaster for the Giants at the time, credited the Pirates rise to contention as much to Murtaugh's fine play and spirit as to the thunderous bat of Ralph Kiner.
The homerun king remembered his former teammate. "He was a kind of comedian and a character, but a good, solid player," Kiner said. "He would chew tobacco and spit on your shoes from about 50 feet away, or so it seemed like it. He really was a regular guy, much as he was as a manager."
Injuries kept Murtaugh to 74 games at secondbase in 1949 and his average fell to .203. While he came back to hit .294 in 1950, when the 34-year-old's average fell to .199 the next season, Murtaugh accepted a player-manager's job with the Pirates' New Orleans farm club. He remained there through 1954 and it was at New Orleans that Danny first connected with Joe L. Brown, who was the Pelicans' general manager at the time. Murtaugh resigned after losing the Southern League playoffs to Atlanta, but accepted an assignment as manager of the club's team at Charleston inCharleston was having financial problems which led Murtaugh to leave in midseason. He was ticketed for a job at Williamsport in 1956, but joined the Pirates' new coaching staff under his former double play partner from his days with the Phillies, Bobby Bragan.
"Murtaugh and I played together in Philadelphia," Bragan recalled, "He had a great sense of humor and liked to smoke cigars. Mostly, he was real good baseball man."
When Bragan was fired in 1957, Brown first offered the managing job to Clyde Sukeforth, who was the senior coach on Bragan's staff. Sukeforth said he wasn't interested in managing, so Brown turned to Murtaugh, who became the first former Pirate player to lead the team since Pie Traynor in the 1930's. Hired at first on an interim basis, Murtaugh quipped, "Don't worry, Joe. I'm a better manager than you think." Murtaugh predicted the Pirates would play .500 ball under him for the remainder of the year and when the team did, he was rehired for 1958.
The Pirates surprised almost everyone in 1958, except perhaps Murtaugh, who had seen the players maturing. The Bucs finished second and Murtaugh was named Manager of the Year, something he had kiddingly hoped to avoid. During the season, Birdie Tebbetts and Fred Hutchinson, both recent recipients of the award had lost their jobs. Discussing this with Giants' skipper Bill Rigney, Murtaugh told him he wouldn't vote for him if Rigney returned the favor. Rigney kidded him back, 'Too bad, Danny. It looks like you're a lock."
The Pirates' suffered injuries to a couple of key young pitchers in 1959 and the team never really got going. Murtaugh helped bring the club back strong in 1960, especially once Brown was able to add some pitching depth with Vineger Bend Mizell and Clem Labine. In the World Series, Murtaugh's brain was matched with another comedic genious, Casey Stengel. The Pirate manager made several crucial moves, including replacing his leading homeruns hitter, Dick Stuart, with Rocky Nelson for the decisive seventh game. Nelson responded with a homerun to give the Pirates an early lead in the contest.
Murtaugh's managing could not overcome injuries and slumps which engulfed the team in 1961 and although the team had a successful record in 1962, it was aging. Brown traded away ¾ of the club's infield following the season and the team's starting leftfielder, Bob Skinner, early in 1963. As the team retooled, Murtaugh began to experience health problems. The Pirates announced in August, 1964, that Murtaugh would be back in '65, but Danny stated he was retiring a few weeks later due to health problems.
Murtaugh accepted a much less stressful scouting position in the organization, but was coaxed into taking the team over from Harry Walker in the middle of 1967. Don Schwall, who played for both managers, contasted their styles. While acknowledgeing Walker certainly knew baseball, he said, "Danny was more a people person. He knew how to work well with people." Murtaugh made it clear, however, he would not be back in 1968.
Larry Shepard managed the team the next two years and after he was let go, Brown convened with Murtaugh to discuss who would lead the club into the 1970's. While there was much media speculation former thirdbaseman Don Hoak would be given a shot at the job, when Murtaugh informed Brown his doctor had given him a clean bill of health, Brown's choice was obvious.
Murtaugh won his second Manager of the Year Award in 1970 by giving Pittsburgh its first Eastern Division Championship. In 1971, battling health problems which led him being hospitalized for a time and to miss 22 games, Murtaugh won an even bigger prize, his second World Championship Trophy. Among his key decisions during the 1971 team's run was using Bob Johnson as an emergency starter in Game 2 of the NLCS and keeping veteran Jose Pagan on the post season roster over hot-hitting rookie Rennie Stennett. Johnson, only 9-10 during the regular season, outpitched the great Jaun Marichal, 2-1. Pagan contributed two clutch hits in the World Series, including a hit and rundouble which scored Willie Stargell with the decisive run in Game 7. Following the Series, Murtaugh retired for a third time.
Although Murtaugh managed the National League All-Star Team to victory in 1972, it appeared his days as a big league pilot were over when Bill Virdon successfully won the Eastern Division that year. However, with the Pirates floundering following the death of Clemente in 1973, Brown asked Murtaugh to replace his former centerfielder and coach in September as the Pirates still had a shot at the pennant. Murtaugh could only manage the team to a .500 record over the final 26 games as the Pirates finished third.
Although some expressed surprise, the term interim was not attached to Murtaugh's appointment. He returned in 1974 and his patience afforded him well when the team got off to a horrible start. Murtaugh kept a cool head and made some adjustments, such as platooning Bob Robertson and Ed Kirkpatrick at first and staying with young righthander Larry Demery, even though Demery lost his first four starts. He also helped relief ace Dave Giusti, who slumped during the season, by giving Giusti a couple of starts so he could work out his difficulties without the game being on the line. Most importantly, he reminded the team all along it was the most talented in the division. Some wondered if Danny's age was advancing more quickly than his birth certificate indicated when he allowed Juan Jimenez and Jim Minshall, two September call ups, to absorb a painful extra inning defeat at the hands of the club's chief rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. The loss gave the Cardinals a ½ game lead in the standings, but Danny answered his critics that the season had another seven games to play and he was not going to disrupt his starting rotation for the sake of one game. The Pirates got strong performances from their starters in the remaining games and came away from the pennant war victorious, despite having lost that one battle at Busch Stadium.
Murtaugh also had some difficult times on the way to his final first place finish in 1975. In August, the very established and productive Pirate lineup fell into a terrible slump and the team went 2-12 on a roadtrip to squander their lead in the race. Pitcher Dock Ellis, first refused to pitch in relief when he was demoted to the bullpen due to ineffectiveness, then, after being suspended for a few games and fined, called a team meeting. What Murtaugh and his staff expected would be an apology turned into Ellis criticizing management, Murtaugh and some of his teammates. The usually calm Murtaugh became furious and took over the meeting. Ellis, who later stated he had not intended to insult Murtaugh or the other players, was suspended without pay once again. The Pirates played well afterwards as the club won its fifth title under the Irishman.
Reporters often quoted Murtaugh, who's sense of humor made him good copy. He often made fun of his own gruff exterior while holding court relaxing in his rocking chair, drinking a glass of milk. "I got together with Yogi Berra this spring," Danny once joked, "Now there's a picture Rembrandt would hate to paint." Comparing himself to the youthful looking Bruce Kison, Murtaugh said, "I looked older than him the day I was born."
Murtaugh also had an answer for those who would criticize his decisions. "I'd like to have that fellow who hits a homerun everytime, who strikes out every batter when he's pitching and who never makes a mistake on the field. The only trouble is getting him to put down his beer and come down out of the stands."
Even at the press conference to announce his presumed retirement as 1976 was drawing to a close, Murtaugh tried to get one last joke in on the media. "I'm happy to announce," Murtaugh began, "That I'll be back for two more years." A reporter called his bluff and Danny departed the Pirates stating he hoped to spend time with his grandchildren, something he had perhaps not done enough of with his own kids as they were growing up 1955.
Sadly, he never got the chance.
Murtaugh suffered a stroke just two months after managing his last game, slipping into a coma and dying two days later.
Recently, the popular Murtaugh's name has come up for consideration in Hall of Fame deliberations. His credentials are stronger than some already enshrined. His five first place finishes and managing of two distinctly different teams to World titles standout as does an impressive winning percentage of .540 based on a 1,115-950 record.His skills with people have also been compared to current inductees.
"He was laid back," Bragan commented, "He was like Walter Alston. In other words, if he wanted to tell you off he would, but usually in private. But otherwise, he was easygoing, not a hellraiser, but a very good manager."
Joe Gibbon, who pitched for Sparky Anderson as well as Murtaugh when asked to compare the two added, "They were both good managers and a lot alike. They knew how to handle men. Managing isn't too difficult if you can do that."

I'm a beginner with R and I have written this simple loop:
for(i in 1:12000){
if(v$piano.tariff[i] == 2) {v$piano.tariff[i] = 0}
else {v$piano.tariff[i] = 1}
Where v is a data frame and piano.tariff one of its columns. What the loop does is simply change each value of the piano.tariff column to either 1 or 0, from their initiali values of 2 and 5.
Now, the code works, but the problem is that it is ridiculously slow. It takes up to 4-5 minutes to complete! In C++ o C# such a loop would barely require a few seconds.
Why is this so slow? Is there a faster way to implement this? Or is it simply that R is slow, and that's it?

Rugged Ridge CV Drive Shaft with SYE for $420?
Im looking to put the Rough Country 4" Supsension Lift on my 95 YJ and was wondering if the Rugged Ridge CV Drive Shaft with SYE for $420 is worth it and if it is good or not.
I'm not sure about their DS and SYE, but for the most part, Rugged Ridge doesn't have a good reputation for quality. I'd be willing to spend a tad bit more and go with something from Tom Wood, Advance Adaptors, Coast, etc.
My friend has that RR SYE and CV drive shaft on his 97 sarhara with the Rough Country 4" long arm kit. So far no worries. Been wheeling a few times in mid grade trails.
To get a better idea of how others feel about the Rugged Ridge, search the BBB and see if anyone has posted postive or negative comments.
im considering purchasing this SYE CVD pacakge - SYE KIT WITH CV DRIVE SHAFT JEEP XJ YJ TJ NP 231 KIT : eBay Motors (item 370223013676 end time Apr-26-10 21:23:25 PDT)
I am just hesitant because a going motto with cars is do it the right way once. :rolleyes:

MOSCOW (AP) - Russia needs up to $3 billion to tackle the Year 2000 computer glitch - six times the original estimate - a top official announced Wednesday as he appealed to the United States and NATO to help fix computers that control Russia's nuclear weapons.
While many countries have been working on the so-called Y2K "millennium bug" problem for years, some key players, including Russia and China, have been slower to address it.
Last month, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre acknowledged "some nervousness" in Washington about potential computer problems in Russia. "They don't seem to have the same level of urgency that we have had over it," he said.
The man leading Russia's efforts to solve the Y2K finally responded Wednesday by asking NATO and the U.S. Defense Department for advice - and money.
Russia wants all sides to "speak the same language," Alexander Krupnov, chairman of the Central Telecommunications Commission, said Wednesday. "We're in a critical situation in several areas" - including the Defense Ministry.
Russia has already agreed to let NATO experts investigate the potential danger to Russian weapons systems. While an errant missile launch brought on by a computer clock failure would be highly unlikely, computer snags could sabotage radar and telecommunications networks that are the backbone for Russia's system to detect foreign launches.
The estimated cost of tackling the problem is $3 billion, Krupnov said.

Every author I know remembers where they were the first time they learned they'd "hit the list." It is the gold standard of best-seller rankings: The New York Times.
Obviously there are other lists and each is important: USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly, to name a few. Each is a useful barometer of whether a book is being embraced across a broad audience. But with all due respect to the others, the New York Times remains the list authors at all levels covet and pine over. That much we know.
What we don't know is exactly how it's compiled. The process is a closely guarded secret, ranking somewhere on the scale between the nuke codes in the president's "football" and the formula for Coke. Editors from the paper rarely speak about their process for calculating and ranking books. Some independent stores report their sales, some don't. Some mega chains, such as Barnes & Noble report, but others, such as Walmart do not.
Judging from comments I hear on the road, even many casual readers and writers seem to know the importance of "hitting the list." Did you know there are actually 11 published lists in the New York Times? Neither did I, but obviously more lists mean more opportunity for authors and publishers.
Unlike USA Today, which groups all books into one behemoth list of 150 titles, the New York Times has evolved into a series of well-defined categories. You can "hit the list" in any of these sections: hardcover fiction; hardcover and paperback non-fiction; trade paperback fiction; mass-market fiction; hardcover and paperback advice, how-to and miscellaneous; children's picture books; children's chapter books; children's paperback; and children's series.
When a book goes to reprint, when a paperback is issued, or when an author publishes their next title, you can bet New York Times Best-seller will appear on the cover, regardless the specific list on which they appeared.
The various lists, published in the Sunday edition of the New York Times, are pre-released on Wednesdays to subscribing publishers, agents and industry insiders. It arrives by e-mail typically between 4:30-6:30 p.m. EST. If you're hoping to be on it, seeing it pop into your in-box is like plunging your hand in the Captain Crunch and finding a toy so big you need both hands to lift it.
The first time I "hit the list" was the week when "The Wednesday Letters" came out in hardcover in September of 2007. I hadn't made the list yet with "Christmas Jars," so we didn't expect this book to make it either. Still, there were reasons for slivers of hope. I'd appeared on Glenn Beck's radio and television shows the day the book launched and had given out my cell phone number asking readers to call and share stories of their favorite handwritten letters. I received so many calls my cell phone had smoke and sparks coming from it by midnight on the first day. As the calls came in and the interview went viral, sales rankings rose.
When the following Wednesday arrived, I was with my wife and four children running errands in nearby Harrisonburg, Va. We hadn't talked about it much and the publisher had successfully lowered my expectations. Still, as the afternoon wore on, it began to feel like butterflies were building a water park in my belly.
A call from my editor came on my cell phone shortly after 5 p.m. as we sat in the KFC drive-thru. I answered the phone about the same time the squawk box garbled back our order and I remember wondering if they'd hired an actual chicken to work the window. With the kids barking from a long day in the car, and the drive-thru speaker bawk bawk bawking, I had no choice but to abandon the driver's seat and scamper to the far corner of the parking lot.
I watched my wife scramble to pull the car up and listened as my editor put me on speaker phone. "You hit the list," he said, and the room around him erupted in cheers. Then someone else in the background on the phone added, "You know you can scream, too."
So I did. I yelled and raised both arms in the air as if I'd scored the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl of Nerds.

line 54, column 28: guid should not be blank [help]
<guid isPermaLink="false"></guid>
The first issue appears to be because I used an apostrophe in the word "I'll". It puked at that.
The second issue appears to be a case sensitive issue with <wfw:commentRSS> according to this validator the RSS should be Rss << with lowercase s instead of uppercase.
My question is regarding the first 2 issues is, will these actually cause users to see wierd code when there is an apostrophe in a post or comment.
Will the UPPERCASE S's make any difference.
As for the third issue, when it says:
line 54, column 28: guid should not be blank [help]
<guid isPermaLink="false"></guid>
Is it referring to the word false or the fact that there is nothing between the beginning and ending guid tag?
If it is something that is supposed to go in there is there someplace in the admin to change it so that element is present?

you need to know how to stay within the lines. Mistakes really show. Besides that this was really easy to use. The kit comes with literally everything you need and it looks great! Love the shine.
I love this stuff - good value compared to other products on QVC. Lasts a long time too. You have to use the lamp
this is the best nail deal going...i have paper thin nails and this produsct really thickens them and really lasts the 2 weeks it claims.
I highly recommend this kit. The price is a bit high but it's worth it! it saved me money from going to the salon to get it done. The bottles are very small this is why I think the price is a bit high.
I would have given this five stars in quality if it wasn't for the fact that the sealed kit in Scarlet Red turned out to be the grey/nude color and I was already committed to the process having applied the primer and base coats. This product is AWESOME and a real money saver. Go to their website or YouTube if you're not sure how to apply. Within 20 minutes you're out the door with beautiful nails.
I had never even had a gel manicure. I was interested, but the price kept me away. My nails peel easily on the tips when my polish chips, which is often. I usually have chips in 2 or 3 days with regular polish. I am on day 12 of my first manicure and it looks amazing! The only imperfection is the top by the cuticle where my nail has grown out so it looks about time to redo. This is amazing! I did watch the you tube video first and it was helpful too. I thought it was pretty easy. I love it!
I use to get my nails done at a salon but now I can do them myself ,saving time and money , and it's so easy too. I have used tips then the gel coat and light. I have also used the gel coat, my own nail polish then another gel coat, it works great ! I purchased another 2 sets for Xmas presents.
I have had several gel manicures in the salon, each costing nearly as much as the kit. It takes time to do on your own, and you must be careful not to get the polish on your cuticles or next to your nail on your fingers. If you accidentally get it on your skin, you MUST remove it BEFORE you put it under the light. I use a small brush with acetone and then the orange stick to get off excess. You can use other brands of gel colors with this kits top and base coat. The LED light that comes with this kit is worth the price of the entire kit.
As long as you follow the directions, it will work perfectly. I bought the starter kit at WalMart and buy any colors they don't have from Ulta (Red Carpet brand). The cleanser that comes in this kit is just rubbing alcohol. Having this kit is much more convenient than having to go somewhere and pay to have it done. Don't get in a big rush when painting your nails. Avoid getting it on the skin because it will peel right off. I complete one hand before starting on the other. I also use it on my toes and it stays for weeks!
The color of the polish was not quite what I was expecting. I can't get my manicure to last two weeks, but I do a lot with my hands. I can get about ten days out of it. Overall, I am pleased and would RECCOMEND this product to a friend, but I wouldn't buy it from walmart online again. Shipping was way too long.
I love this product. A friend suggested this brand of DIY gel kit so I bought it from Walmart bc they provided the best deal, getting 2 gel colors for the price you would buy the kit at a CVS or Walgreens. I've had the same manicure on for almost 2 weeks now and still going strong! No chips!!!
It's more tedious of a process than I thought it would be but once you're finished the results are great!!!
My nails take an hour or more to dry with regular polish so I've always just had fake nails but this kit really works! I was instantly able to go about my day after curing them and the process took less time than I expected since I only had to wait 60 seconds between coats. It's very glossy, adds thickness to my paper thin nails, and looks very smooth/even like I had them done in the salon. Well worth the price.
This does not dry well even following the instructions very carefully.
Capping is extremely important! This is where I found that my polish didn't last as long! Overall very happy with the product!

Focus: Graphics
Graphics is always a fun issue. Everyone, including the fans of the command line, believe graphics are important to any operating system. With so many people learning to use computers on Windows or Macintosh systems, graphical interfaces are a necessity to make Linux applications accessible to these users. In past issues, we've had articles about KDE and GNOME, as well as developing GUIs with Java and CDE (common desktop environment). This month, we have a tutorial on building GUIs with Motif or Lesstif (Motif's freely available counterpoint).
Another reason graphics are important is games. Loki Entertainment has entered the gaming world by porting the popular Civilization game to Linux, and they have plans to port even more games. Michael Hammel talks to both the president and the lead programmer of Loki to find out what's happening with Linux in gaming.
We also explore the graphic arts industry and how Linux is being used here—a subject near and dear to our hearts. Finding that Linux is making inroads into pre-press departments is just the news we want to hear.
Elsewhere in this issue, we take a good look at Red Hat Software via an interview with Bob Young and a tour of their offices. We have also included a new section called "Up Front" to bring you bits of news about Linux and its proponents, quotes from Linux notables and kernels of information we think you will find interesting.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The American Dream Meets the Green Dream
More than thirty-seven million Americans live below the official poverty line, and their plight has only worsened with rising energy, food, and healthcare costs. The inequality gap in our country has reached record highs, and it's unclear from current economic events if there will be any near-term relief or directional change. For that reason this year's Blog Action Day is on the issue of poverty, which has undeniable connections and even potential solutions in the energy and environmental sphere.
Within the last year, the Center for American Progress Action Fund and partners have launched a campaign to cut national poverty in half in the next ten years — Half in Ten. The campaign has its roots in the Poverty to Prosperity report, released in 2007, which outlines 12 policies that would reach the campaign's goal.
The Urban Institute found that just three of these policies — raising and indexing the minimum wage; expanding the Earned-Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit; and providing childcare assistance for working families below a certain income-level — would reduce poverty by more than 26 percent. Child poverty would drop by 41 percent, and over 9 million fewer Americans would be poor.
The Center for American Progress has also proposed a Green Economic Recovery plan that demonstrates how investments into transitioning to a low-carbon economy can also carve pathways out of poverty and create 2 million green-collared jobs across the U.S., primarily in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Many of the jobs created would be in response to rising demand for energy efficiency retrofits, which in turn can cut a household's energy expenditures. This is significant in relation to poverty because while the average American household spends about 5 percent of its annual income on energy bills, a low-income household spends closer to 16 percent on energy bills (and some cases and estimates suggest up to 35 percent). At a time when homeownership is in peril, energy costs and utility bills must be factors in our understanding of home affordability.
The green dream and the American dream are not exclusive battlegrounds, and in fact they share a lot in common. In the next few weeks — which are crucial to our economy — and the next few months — which are crucial to our political direction — it should be a priority to address economic mobility, green recovery, and the opportunities in each.
What can and should you do? Today, keep reading.
2 Responses to The American Dream Meets the Green Dream
Interesting, and agreed. Unfortunately in Canada the Liberal party ran on exactly that platform — a "Green Shift" plan that would tax carbon and less income and use the money to tackle poverty and create green-collar jobs. Most Canadians found the plan too complicated, and the ruling Conservative (who won another minority government last night) were effective at painting such a program as a tax that will "screw" people and the economy.
My question: How can be move forward with crucial and progressive policies that see energy/environmental policies complementing economic goals when the general public just doesn't "get it"?
the general public doesn't get it because it wasn't communicated to them and Dion is only part of the problem. My sense is that all Liberal MP candidates were just hitching a ride on the national campaign. Lawn signs don't communicate anything.
Don't blame Harper. He's got his particular vision and he got it across better.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ An extramarital affair that ended former Attorney General Paul Morrison's political career is an issue in court. It has become part of the criminal case against abortion provider Dr. George Tiller of Wichita.
Tiller's attorneys are attacking his prosecution. They returned to Sedgwick County District Court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing.
They already have suggested Morrison was influenced to file charges
against Tiller by his former mistress, Linda Carter. Now they are suggesting that former Attorney General Phill Kline also knew about the affair before Morrison filed his charges.
Defense attorneys have described Carter as influenced by Kline.
Kline declined comment.

Lawmakers work on higher gas taxMarch 10,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is soon expected to finish a gasoline tax increase that would take effect over the next two years.
The House Transportation Committee is expected to approve a 2 percent sales tax on gasoline that would take effect in June. In July of 2014, the sales tax would go up another 2 cents on a dollar, to 4 percent.
Meanwhile, in fiscal 2015, the cents-per-gallon tax would drop by nearly 6 cents from its current level of 19 cents per gallon. The upshot would be nearly $26 million more in gasoline taxes collected by the state.
Lawmakers have been looking for ways to shore up transportation revenues. Declining sales of gasoline have cut into revenues from gasoline taxes that historically have been raised mainly on a per-gallon basis.MORE IN This Just In

The original, handwritten version of Abraham Lincoln's Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation was viewed by students in grades 7-9 in October at an exhibit hosted at LIU-Post. The traveling exhibit, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, drew students from many schools in the region.
According to Tom Marvin, Director of Upper School, "The opportunity to see the Proclamation that was issued on September 22, 1862 furthered student understanding of the historical context and importance of this document."

A power electronics packaging technology utilizing chip-scale packaged (CSP) power devices to build three-dimensional (3-D) integrated power electronics modules (IPEMs) is presented in this paper. The chip-scale packaging structure, termed die dimensional ball grid array (D2BGA), eliminates wire bonds by using stacked solder joints to interconnect power chips. D2BGA package consists of a power chip, inner solder caps, high-lead solder balls, and molding resin. It has the same lateral dimensions as the starting power chip, which makes high-density packaging and module miniaturization possible. This package enables the power chip to combine excellent thermal transfer, high current handling capability, improved electrical characteristics, and ultralow profile packaging. Electrical tests show that the VCE(sat) and on-resistance of the D2BGA high speed insulated-gate-bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are improved by 20% and 30% respectively by eliminating the device wirebonds and other external interconnections, such as the leadframe. In this paper, we present the design, reliability, and processing issues of D2BGA package, and the implementation of these chip-scale packaged power devices in building 30 kW half-bridge power converter modules. The electrical and reliability test results of the packaged devices and the power modules are reported

What if we get into the playoffs, Kap starts first game and gets knocked out and Alex finishes the game and we win and then the next game Alex starts and has an epic performance ala Saints game last year? I'm talking an epic, clutch comeback game like that.
I feel like if that happened there would be too much emotion and guilt for shoving Alex aside and we would go into the off-season committed to him again. There's no way Harbs could resist calling Alex "his guy" if he has another epic game like that
Just an interesting thought (merge if necessary)

Tamdhu 10 Year Old70cl / 40%

- Distillery Bottling
- In Stock
- Next-day delivery available
Shortlist for TWE's Whisky of the Year 2013
Tamdhu 10 Year Old Reviews
Tasting Notes
Tasting notes by Billy A
Nose: Crunchie bars, Eccles cakes, a touch of rubber, black liquorice, brown sugar, vanilla cream, Victoria sponge, berries and foresty hints – rich earth and damp green leaves.
Palate: An oily mouthfeel with caramel, pepper and stewed oranges up front, and sherbert and milk chocolate coming in behind.
Finish: Medium length, with sweet wood turning slowly dry and spicy, with a burst of spiced butter fading to lightly bitter barrel char.
Comment: A solid and tasty sherry-cask-matured whisky. They've balanced the rich first-fill notes with some softer refill flavours to give rich fruit and chocolate as well as some softer creamy notes. I'm not sure about the 'wisp of smoke', though.
Producer's Notes
Nose: The softness of vanilla and sugared almonds, balanced by fresh oak and cinnamon.
Palate: Bursting with fruit and spice - gently yielding to toffee and the richness of sherry oak.
Finish: Fruit and vanilla linger, becoming pleasantly drying - finally unveiling the merest wisp of peat smoke.

The most delicious speyside malt wholly (not just finished) in sherry casks and at an amazing natural colour
Wow - one of the few if not only Speyside 10 year olds that are fully matured in sherry casks - most of the others just finish them off.!!! Great nose but oh so drinkable too. My brother and I managed most of the bottle in one session. Looking forward to a 12 or 15 now.
I must agree with Robs review of this dram when comparing it to the glendronach 12 years. Yet, what I will say is that this whisky is pleasant and mellow, yet lacking any character or bite for my liking.
I fancied a sherry cask Speyside, so I bought this along with a 12yo Glendronach. Last evening, I had some of each. This Tamdhu was pleasant enough and was exactly like it said on the box (see producer''s notes) but the Glendronch, for virtually the same price, was far superior. For me, the Tamdhu is overpriced - I wonder how much extra we''re paying for the unnecessarily fancy bottle which is poor man''s Hibiki, really. Here''s an idea - put the same 10yo in a ''normal'' bottle and sell it for less or increase the proof and make it non-chillfiltered and keep it at the price.
Great whisky, but I hate the bottle!
An excellent Speyside malt. I''m a big fan of Sherry-cask malts, & this one didn''t disappoint.
Quite excellent as it's been 100% matured in sherry casks. It's not been coloured up like many other malts are so it's all natural.
Typical Speyside whisky. Easy drinking and smooth. I just kept going back for more. It's the first bottle of Tamdhu I've tried and will certainly buy another, and yes it is a nice glass bottle.
Tamdhu is only ever matured in sherry casks. A beautiful bottle too! An excellent single malt from Speyside. Smooth, mellow with a natural golden colour.
A wonderful whisky, very well made and classic Speyside from sherry casks. I will buy again. Mrs N loves the bottle and has claimed it. ( when empty)
