"Windows is indeed slower than other operating systems in many scenarios, and the gap is worsening." That's one way to start an insider explanation of why Windows' performance isn't up to snuff. Written by someone who actually contributes code to the Windows NT kernel, the comment on Hacker News, later deleted but reposted with permission on Marc Bevand's blog, paints a very dreary picture of the state of Windows development. The root issue? Think of how Linux is developed, and you'll know the answer.

...why are you staying with the company?
I am not one of the developers and for my position, they actually pay more than they probably should Plus, it's a rather large company that's pretty stable, unlike some of the fly-by-night startups that people are leaving for. I've seen some folks head out for greener pastures, only to return 6 months to a year later.

(CNSNews.com) - President Obama's Energy Department is sending $6.5 million to American Indian tribes to support tribal energy development. More than half of that $6.5 million will be spent on 13 "feasibility studies," which determine whether and how a project will work.
Only $1.3 million will be spent on actual heating projects -- including one that uses wood to heat a tribal visitor center.
"As President Obama highlighted in the State of the Union, the Administration is committed to building an American economy that lasts and leverages our nation's clean energy resources," said Secretary Steven Chu in a new release Thursday. "The awards announced today will help Tribes across the country advance a sustainable energy future for their local communities, spur economic development, and advance innovative clean energy technologies."
The taxpayer money will be spent as follows:
-- $3.6 Million for 13 feasibility studies, which will examine the viability of building biomass power plants, solar and wind installations, and a tidal energy project. The Energy Department estimates that installing renewable energy systems on tribal buildings could reduce energy use by 30 percent.
-- Four renewable energy development projects will receive $1.7 million for "pre-construction" activities, such as permitting, design, financing agreements, and
business plans. Two of these still-in-development-projects involve solar energy, one involves wind, and the other is a biomass-powered heating system.
-- Two projects will receive a total of $1.3 million to "deploy renewable energy technologies to convert waste and other biomass" (wood) to energy.
One project will install "a cordwood-fired biomass energy system, using locally available wood to heat the Tribe's visitors center." It's not clear from the description if this might be a fireplace or a wood stove.
The other will build a "gasification energy recovery facility." This involves buying four sets of generators to convert synthetic gas generate from municipal solid waste to provide up to 90 percent of the facility's heating needs.
Since 2002, the Energy Department's Tribal Energy Program has provided $36 million to 159 tribal energy projects.

Monday Mailbag - The Daily Chomp Debut
by Alex Aragon / San Jose SharksYou may not have asked for it, but you're getting it anyway. Here is The Daily Chomp's debut of the Monday Mailbag. If you have questions, tweet @SanJoseSharks using #AskSJS, sends us a question on Facebook, or email us on the Tip Line. This week we look at some of the basics of hockey and answer some of your lingering questions.
Q: How many days a week do you practice on the ice and how many hours a week?
- Melody L.
TDC: On average the NHL regular season runs about six months from the beginning of October to the beginning of April, roughly 26 weeks to fit in 82 games. That means the Sharks play three, sometimes four times per week.
Non-game days are made up of a combination of practice, strength training, conditioning, travel, rest and recovery. Those days usually consist of a 60-90 minute on-ice session and other activities designed to prepare the team for its next opponent. Game days differ slightly to include a morning skate, then the pregame warm-up 30 minutes before puck drop.
In season, it's a seven-day per week job for both the players and hockey staff with very few breaks in the calendar. And when you add it all up, the players spend well upwards of six hours a week on the ice in non-game situations.
Q: How are line changes communicated? What if a player on that line is injured, how does someone step in?
- Alex C.
TDC: Line changes are communicated by the coaches directly to the players. Each game day, Head Coach Todd McLellan and his staff determine their 20-man roster (18 skaters, two goaltenders) and select a starting lineup. They turnover that information to the off-ice NHL officials before the game.
Once the game begins, the coaches are active in telling players on the bench who is taking the next shift. The forwards work in units of three (left wing, center, right wing) and the defense works in pairs. Changes that happen "on the fly" or during the course of play occur when one player comes to the bench and another player goes out in his place.
An example would be if Joe Thornton's line starts the game and Logan Couture's line is told they are out next, Couture does not go onto the ice until Thornton comes off the ice. They replace each other on a one-to-one basis, picking up responsibilities in the defensive zone as soon as they change. So when you see five players coming off the ice and five more going on, there is actually a method to the madness and each player knows exactly what to do.
When players are injured, or when lines are juggled, or when penalties prevent players that usually skate together from doing so, the coaches revise their lines in real-time and continue to communicate what those changes will be. As was the case when Brad Winchester was off the ice this weekend for a pair of fighting majors, players from different lines filled in.
Q: No disrespect to Antti Niemi, but what happened to Evgeni Nabokov?
- Stuart S.
TDC: Last season, former Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings, but was subject to NHL waivers and was subsequently claimed by the New York Islanders. He began that one-year deal this season.
The Sharks and Islanders were scheduled to play in Long Island on Oct. 29, 2011 (an eventual 3-2 overtime win by San Jose on Brent Burns' game-winning power play goal) and all indications were that Nabokov was to make his first start against the team that drafted him. However Nabokov suffered an injury as overtime expired in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Oct. 27, forcing him to miss the lone game scheduled between the two teams this season.
This past Saturday night, Nabokov defeated the Buffalo Sabres becoming just the 26th goaltender in NHL history to record 300 career victories.
Q: Is Mike Ricci still working for the Sharks organization? We miss him on the ice!
- Rosemary R.
TDC: 'Reech' is currently a Development Coach for the Sharks organization assisting the San Jose and Worcester coaching staffs with player development. He also makes cameo appearances from time-to-time, like the one above from the December 2011 Brocade "Sharks Player of the Month" presentation to center Logan Couture.
Q: What is the right pronunciation for Benn Ferriero's last name?
- Evert W.
TDC: We're impressed that you spelled his first name correctly! He has the most frequently misspelled first name on the team, with Ryane Clowe checking in at a close second.
Benn's last name is pronounced FEHR-ee-oh.
Q: Is Jason Demers related to the legendary former Montreal Canadiens head coach Jacques Demers? I remember him to be a very sharp and classy coach.
TDC: Sharks defenseman Jason Demers is not related to the legendary coach and current Canadian Senator, though Jacques does have a son with the same name.
The Honourable Jacques Demers has had an unparalleled career as a WHA and NHL coach, a French-language hockey broadcaster and now as a government official appointed by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He is the only person to win the Jack Adams Award (presented annually to the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success) in consecutive seasons in 1987 and 1988 with the Detroit Red Wings. He led the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in 1992-93, the most recent of their NHL-leading 24 Stanley Cup Championships.
But perhaps the most impressive of all, he revealed in a 2005 biography that he is functionally illiterate. Truly a remarkable story.

If you haven't taken a cruise in your life, you should save up for it now and do it. Many people I know have not even left their back yards to go to another state let alone travel overseas. But if you're a seasoned traveler, you may say that cruising is not for you. I've said that before until I took one.
One summer, a friend called me and said that there is an 11-day cruise to Europe for $500.00. He mentioned the places we're going to visit. He said, "Kailangan ma-i-book 'to today before it is sold out!"
Ha?! I can't decide like that most specially if I have to ask permission from work to take the days off for the cruise. But $500.00 to seven European cities is really cheap so I took a chance and told him that if we can find a round trip fare to Venice, Italy for less than $1,000.00, I'm in.
Thirty minutes later, he called and said, "Round trip fare to Venice, Italy and returning from Lisbon, Portugal is $700.00!!" All in all, the trip will only cost us $1200.00 plus tours and all I could say to him was, "Go!".
We booked our flight and I just had to smooch my boss' behind to get the days off I needed (including some extra days to rest). And I got it! Ganyan kami mag-travel. Budget lang.
We arrived in Venice, Italy in the morning where the ship was scheduled to sail from in the evening. Day tour lang sa Venice and it was awesome! We took our luggage and left it with the cruise ship para makalayas kami and explore Venice.
It rained that morning so the piazza (squares) was flooded. They have these scaffolding platforms for people to walk above the water. Laging nagbabaha sa Venice. And I heard that during the summer months, medyo amoy canal dun. Thank goodness, we were there in November. I didn't notice any smell at all. (Tip: If you are visiting Venice, it's always good to pack a pair of rubber boots with you just in case).
There were areas that were dry as well. Only the streets near the banks were flooded but if you go further inland, may dry land naman. 🙂
The gondolas were parked but the current was so strong that it didn't look safe for us to take a ride. Besides, the ride was so expensive. Remember, Euros ang bayaran dito. We decided to forego the gondola ride and opted to walk around instead.
It was fun to walk around. The sights and building architecture were magnificent. Walking the streets in Venice was a delight. I've been to Rome, Milan, and Florence but it still felt different in Venice.
These were the pillow-like puwet nung mga actors who we found starting to get dressed for their performance.
We even had gelato (creamy ice cream). So delish!
Shempre – shopping na din. This is a ceramic mask. Well-known for masquerade balls and their Carnival in February I think.
I love this photo. I heard that it costs a lot to maintain the gondolas (look at how shiny these are) kaya mahal din ang pamasahe.
Of course, tourist shopping.
Before you know it, after walking around all day, we were ready to board the ship. Kaya sakay na kami ng mini-boat to take us to the ship.
Pero before that, I would like to say that even if we only spent a day in Venice, it was totally worth it. Remember, this was my first cruise so everything was new to me.
I will make a few more posts for each of the destinations.
So, keep coming back lang.

Question: Do children take the same medications for anxiety disorders that adults take?
Answer: Children are often prescribed the same medications as adults. They tend to be prescribed medications in a way that's called off-label, in that no set dosages are clearly understood for children. So doctors have come up with what the therapeutic dosages seem to be, and the same medications will be used for children and adolescents as is adults.

In this season of the year, when the weather turns cold and we spend more time at home (at least in the places where it DOES get cold!), we find ourselves cooking different kinds of foods. In the summer we crave grilled meats and salads, lighter fare that goes better with the hotter weather. In the winter, we want rich, simmering soups and stews, warm, fresh-baked breads, and other stick-to-your-ribs foods. Most of these kinds of foods fall under the heading of comfort foods. It's a wonderful feeling to come home to a warm house, after a long day of work and time out in the cold, and sit down to a hot, savory meal. The comforting emotions, as well as the fabulous taste, make us feel great. I love winter cooking. Soups and stews that simmer all day fill the house with a fabulous aroma that is almost as good as the food itself.
This is true for pasta and risotto also. During the warmer months, we do simpler dishes with lighter ingredients. In the cold months, we want rich sauces, hearty baked dishes and lots of them. So, for this month's recipes, I have included a variety of dishes that are perfect for your table and for your soul.
For the pastas, first up we have Pasta with Veal Bolognese. This is a twist on the classic Bolognese, in that it uses all veal instead of a combination of meats. The veal gives the sauce a certain delicacy, while maintaining all the robust flavors we love it for. Next we have Lasagne with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe. Sausage and Broccoli Rabe are one of the best-combined flavors in Italian cooking. Here they are combined in a rich lasagne, with both tomato and béchamel sauces, and 3 different kinds of cheese. Lastly we have Homemade Tortellini in Broth. These are simply fabulous. The filling is made of many different, savory flavors, and serving them in a bowl of steaming broth is the best way to highlight them. You will never use frozen again after trying this!!
In the risotto section, we have Risotto with Roasted Zucchini and Pan Fried Steak. This is a superb dish. A regular risotto is made using aromatic vegetables and golden roasted zucchini, then topped with slices of pan-fried steak and a rich red wine sauce. It is a fabulous combination of flavors and textures. Next up we have Risotto with Mushroom Pesto. This unusual pesto is very hearty and flavorful. Both white and Portobello mushrooms are combined with garlic, olive oil, Parmesan and pine nuts then stirred into a risotto for a rich, flavorful dish. Last up we have Risotto with Sausage and Two Tomatoes. Both fresh and dried tomatoes flavor this dish, along with savory Italian sausage, garlic, Romano cheese and crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
I hope that you enjoy this month's recipes and enjoy this lovely cold weather as much as I do. Keep warm and eat well!!
See you next month,
Nancy Caivano

"ECCENTRICITY, n. A method of distinction so cheap that fools employ it to accentuate their incapacity."
Ambrose Bierce
"I have to identify the negatives and accentuate the positives."
Ron Kanaskie
"We accentuate the positive and don't try to shock. I think there's a growing appetite for that. We're surrounded by shock."
Charles Osgood
"I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish."
Dame Edith Sitwell
"Be virtuous and you will be eccentric."
Mark Twain
"Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd."

I'm going to share a secret with you, something that surely never crossed your mind about me before: I can be a total flippin' ditz — almost to the point of being frightening! When I decided a while back that I wanted to begin a career at the Disneyland Resort, I kept the details closely guarded. As time goes on, I will share more about the journey — the journey that took almost exactly a year to reach its destination from the time I made the decision.
When I broke the news on Twitter, I was left pondering where I would blog about being a Cast Member — would I post over at Beauty is in the Eye of the Passholder (which is mainly a photo-blog) or would I blog about it here, you know, at the blog whose tagline is "Tales From The Happiest Hooker On Earth." A tagline I've had for years. As if destined to be a blog about a Disneyland Cast Member who crochets. Duh.
Tomorrow I start working in my role as Guest Research Specialist — I have the opportunity to conduct brief surveys with hundreds of Guests from all over the world, nearly every day. And I'll get the chance to be everywhere! Although, I will admit, I do have a preference of where I'd like to be. I love Disney California Adventure — the Park truly feels like a second home to me — and I easily adapt to the vibe of the Guests and Cast Members that play and work there.
And trust me when I tell you, Guest feedback from these surveys are extremely appreciated. The Disneyland Resort values the couple of minutes you spend with a Guest Research Specialist so much. As Walt Disney said in his dedication speech, "Disneyland is your land" — and your opinions and thoughts help build upon the Happiest Place on Earth.
With three-generations (my mom, my daughter and myself!) working for Disneyland, we are of course carpooling when our schedules are similar. Which means there will be times when I have a couple of hours before or after my shift to just hang out. For nine years, I've been hanging out at the Disneyland Resort. It's what I do. I think there are some people who think all I do is go on the attractions — which is hilarious — especially if you ever get the chance to see me try to get in line for one.
But there will be times after a shift when all I want to do is camp out in a backstage cafe or breakroom — and that's when I'll be glad I will always have a knitting or crocheting project in my Mary Poppins bottomless bag! This is why I've been all into granny squares and knitted squares, 'cause I knew I'd need small pieces to make at work and put together at home. And I have a few Disneyland/Disney California Adventure-inspired afghans in mind!
I'm going to do my best to keep up with blogging so you can have this here as your own eTicket to the Wondeful World of Disney!

This plugin adds useful admin links and massive resources for the WooCommerce Shop Plugin to the WordPress Toolbar / Admin Bar.
Just drop me a note on my Twitter @deckerweb or via my contact page and I'll add the link if it is useful for admins/ webmasters and the WooCommerce community.
This is possible of course and highly welcomed! Just drop me a note on my Twitter @deckerweb or via my contact page and we sort out the details!
Particularly, I need the admin url for the primary options page (like so wp-admin/admin.php?page=foo
) - this is relevant for both, plugins and themes. For themes then I also need the correct name defined in the stylesheet (like so Footheme
Simple answer: The settings of these add-ons are added directly to the various WooCommerce settings pages or tabs and have no anchor to link to. So linking/ adding is just impossible.
All this could be done via our filters and constants. Really lightweight and simple. Just step up the "Other Notes" area here and scroll down to the proper section.
Yes, it is! :) Works really fine in Multisite invironment - here I just recommend to activate on a per site basis so to load things only where and when needed.
Yes, you could. -- However, it doesn't make much sense. The plugin is intented for a per site use as the admin links refer to the special settings, plugin-support and theme-support for that certain site/blog. So if you have a Multisite install with 5 sites but only 3 would run "WooCommerce" then the other 2 sites will only see support links in the Toolbar / Admin Bar... I guess, you got it? :)
Though intended for a per site use it could make some sense in such an edge case: if all of the sites in Multisite use WooCommerce and have lots of WooCommerce-specific plugins in common and use the same theme/framework. This might be the case if you use Multisite for multilingual projects, especially via that awesome plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-press/
This plugin has NO settings page because I believe it's just not neccessarry. All customizing could be done via CSS styling, filters, constants and regular WordPress user roles & capabilities. As the plugin is indended for a shop manager/ admin/ webmaster use that's the way to go. This way we can save the overhaul of an options panel/ settings page, additional database storing & requests, uninstall routines and such. End result: a lightweight system that just works and saves clicks & time :-).
Requires: 3.6 plus WooCommerce 2.x or higher
Compatible up to: 3.8.19

Artist Pedro Reyes embraces that concept by taking firearms that had been confiscated and rendered useless by the Mexican army and turning them into musical instruments. Now, to kick off its celebration of 25 years of socially conscious art, USF's Contemporary Art Museum is welcoming Reyes for a theatrical performance addressing issues of gun violence Thursday, January 23rd. We'll have a preview on this week's University Beat on WUSF 89.7.

USC makes surprise hire with Kiffin
LOS ANGELES – USC's whirlwind coaching search concluded Tuesday with a stunning hire that sent shockwaves from Los Angeles to Knoxville, Tenn.
The school ended four days of wild speculation by bringing former Trojans assistant coach Lane Kiffin back to USC to succeed his one-time boss, Pete Carroll. Kiffin, 34, coached only one year at the University of Tennessee. He is bringing along his father, defensive guru Monte Kiffin, and another ex-USC aide, ace recruiter Ed Orgeron, as part of a blockbuster package that also could include UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow.
"This was not an easy decision. It happened really quick," Kiffin told reporters in Knoxville. "I really believe that this was the only place I would have left here to go, to Southern Cal."
Kiffin's 14-month stint in Tennessee was filled with controversy. The school reported six minor NCAA violations on his watch, and the brash young coach clashed with some of his counterparts in the SEC.
Kiffin's NCAA issues led many to believe he wouldn't appeal to USC, whose athletic department has been under investigation since reports surfaced that former star tailback Reggie Bush allegedly received improper benefits. Results of the NCAA's probe, which also includes allegations against the basketball program, are expected to be announced in spring.
But the hiring of Kiffin could be a sign that whatever NCAA penalties are coming won't be that severe. Carroll suggested as much when he departed USC on Monday.
Just 48 hours later, Kiffin will be introduced in the same conference room at Heritage Hall.
"We are really excited to welcome Lane Kiffin back to USC," Athletic Director Mike Garrett said in a statement. "I was able to watch him closely when he was an assistant with us, and what I saw was a bright, creative young coach who I thought would make an excellent head coach here if the opportunity ever arose. I'm confident he and his staff will keep USC football performing at the high level that we expect."
Carroll went 97-19 in nine seasons, leading the Trojans to seven Pac-10 titles and two national championships. Rumored candidates to succeed him included Oregon State coach Mike Riley and Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, who said Tuesday he would remain with the Jaguars.
The Kiffin announcement brought relief and elation to USC's returning players, who had endured several days of uncertainty. Quarterback Matt Barkley was watching TV with some fellow students when he saw the news pop up on the screen. His father called him soon after. "Then my phone started buzzing," Barkley said.
"Everyone seems to be excited. I'm excited," Barkley said. "It's good to have someone who's been here and knows about Trojan football."
Barkley said he already had talked to some of the recruits who had been wavering about their commitments to USC. Top-rated receiver Kyle Prater of Hillside, Ill., who had put his enrollment on hold, is expected to arrive by early next week.
Kiffin was USC's recruiting coordinator in 2005 and '06, when he also served as offensive coordinator. He spent six seasons in all at USC under Carroll, starting in 2001.
At 31, Kiffin became the youngest head coach in the NFL's modern era when he left USC for the Oakland Raiders. Less than halfway through Kiffin's second season, Raiders owner Al Davis fired him. Kiffin had a 5-15 record with Oakland. He was 7-6 with Tennessee.
Monte Kiffin and Orgeron served on his staff this past season.
Monte Kiffin, who spent 26 seasons in the NFL, was the Volunteers defensive coordinator in 2009, when they ranked 22nd in the nation in total defense.
Orgeron was the Vols' assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach. He served as USC's defensive line coach from 1998-2004 and was the recruiting coordinator starting in 2001.
A deal with Chow reportedly was in the works Tuesday night.
Chow was USC's offensive coordinator from 2001-04 before Carroll promoted Lane Kiffin and changed Chow's role, prompting him to leave for the Tennessee Titans. Chow returned to college in 2008 with UCLA. Several Bruins and Trojans said Tuesday that Chow's return to USC was imminent. A UCLA spokesman said USC had contacted Chow but that no deal had been agreed to.
Regardless of whether Chow is part of the package, USC's players are glad to have a familiar face running the program.
"We wanted somebody to come in here and keep it rolling and not try to start a new thing," tailback Marc Tyler said. "Coach Kiffin is basically a Coach Carroll clone. They're like the same person, with the energy and the swagger."

Do-It-Yourself Inspired
Amour sans Anguish Badgley Mischka Katie Jean
Pink Tan
Without a doubt in my mind, the most beautiful weddings are those crafted with handmade details, DIY-inspired touches and lots of help from family + friends. This backyard Waxahachie wedding from Jamie Harper Photography hits all of those notes, and then some. From the venue (a home of a close friend) to the sweet-as-can-be flower girl attire, it was all created with love by those close to the bride + groom…and the result? Pure perfection. See it all right here!
From the Bride… My dear friend Julie & her husband Corey built a beautiful rustic home on several hundred acres of land right outside Waxahachie, TX. She was there the night Jeff & I got engaged. As she and I immediately started planning the wedding in the freezing cold by an outdoor fire place, I told her of my worries about the cost of my dream wedding. It was as if she'd already been planning this for months, she instantly offered their home for our wedding location and began helping me get it all in order the very next week.
My handmade, vintage lace tiered dress was my very first wedding purchase and it was purchased by my bridesmaid/ boss/ wonderful friend of mine, Jenny. It was a little out of my price range, but she couldn't stand to see me not have it, so she insisted on paying for it and that I order it right away. (In case you haven't noticed yet, I have AMAZING friends!) I had found the dress on Etsy at a shop called KT Jean months before we got engaged and I fell in love. It was my favorite part of our wedding and the inspiration for the theme and décor of the entire thing. I was however taking a huge risk by purchasing it over the internet having never seen it in person or trying it on. The same went for the bridesmaid dresses from Armour sans Anguish. All my girls were built so differently and yet the dresses fit them all so perfectly!
Next came the brooch shower for my vintage brooch bouquet. I knew I wanted a brooch bouquet, but I didn't want the same thing that everyone else had. I wanted mine to be different and I found just what I was looking for on Autumn Bridal & Grace's Etsy shop. Beautiful fabric & lace rosettes with many of the gorgeous brooches given to me. It was simple, gorgeous, and the best part was that I would get to have a piece of my friends and family with me as I walked down the aisle. When I opened that package and saw it, I cried. It was gorgeous and the first brooch I saw was my grandmother's. It meant the world to me to have it displayed so beautifully .
All of my friends are incredibly crafty and were willing to pitch in however they could. The only décor that was not handmade by bridesmaids or closest girlfriends, were the signs from Sophia's Sign Boutique. Everything from the flowers, to the table runners, to picture frames, to the flower girl dresses were all made with love by friends. As the planning went on, I realized I was a very lucky girl to not only be marrying the man of my dreams, but also to be surrounded by wonderful people.
The best thing about a group effort DIY wedding, is that you can look at each little piece of decoration and remember who made it & the story behind it. All those handmade mason jars and picture frames now decorate our home. My brooch bouquet will be on display forever and will never wilt, just like our love.

The fight to confirm longtime labor leader Ellen Golombek to run the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment continued Monday, after an interrogation by state senators on the Business, Labor, and Technology Committee. Republican Senators Shawn Mitchell, of Broomfield, and Ted Harvey, of Highlands Ranch, opposed the nomination, but Golombek managed to clear the committee nonetheless. Mitchell questioned how Golombeck, the state director of the liberal America Votes organization and the AFL-CIO's state leader, would approach the economy and job creation. "Organized labor works well in industries in which it's prevalent," she replied. "It provides a clear pathway for business and labor to work together to try and resolve issues they face."
After the hearing, the GOP issued a news release accusing Golombek of making "no attempt to substantiate her qualifications" (via the Denver Daily News). The nomination now moves to the full state Senate, "virtually assuring Golombek's appointment, given that Democrats control the upper house," notes WhoSaidYouSaid, which provides video of the Monday hearing. Unions are a thorny issue in Colorado. As the Denver Post points out, for years Republicans have battled Democrats over labor, and the tone can often be edgy, as it has been in Golombek's case.

I first heard of french seams when I started testing patterns for Patterns By Figgy's. I thought that they looked kind of intimidating and so I totally avoided that option when testing the pattern. Silly me! They aren't difficult at all! They are actually quite easy, when you go step by step.
What is a french seam? A french seam is a seam that is sewn to enclose the seam allowance, leaving no raw edges. It is best used on a straight seam, or very slightly curved seams. Not great for armholes, for example. Great for the side seams of a shirt.
Why use a french seam? French seams are great for very sheer fabrics because you cannot see a raw edge in the finished product. They are also great for people who have sensitive skin, as they are a softer finished seam. Patterns by Figgy's suggests using them for this reason. If you have someone with sensory issues in your family, french seams are your friends!
How is a french seam sewn? So glad you asked!
Step 1: WRONG SIDES TOGETHER, sew your two pieces of fabric together using a 3/8 seam allowance, then press the seam flat.
Step 2: Trim both seam allowances to 1/8″ and press them both to one side.
Step 3: Fold the two pieces of fabric the other way, so that the right sides are facing each other and the seam allowance is enclosed in the fold. Press them together.
Step 4: Sew a seam 1/4 of and inch in from the folded edge, this is the actual seam line, or the finished seam.
That's it folks! Really, that's it. That's all a french seam is. Does it seem a bit less scary now? Do you think you'll try it? Try it out with some scrap fabric first, until you get the hang of it, then go crazy!
I'm planning on posting more of this kind of thing in the future… just simple and short tutorials to expand our repertoire of sewing skills. If it's something I've never done, I'll try it anyway! It's a great way to learn, and I definitely have a lot of learning to do!

The German foreign ministry confirmed the meeting on Monday evening between Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle and Russia's ambassador in Berlin, Vladimir Grinin, but declined to comment on what they discussed. Westerwelle had made clear that in Germany's view the law violated the European human rights convention, the report said. "Such a law will hamper European-Russian relations and will harm Russia's image in Europe," it cited an unidentified official as saying, setting out Westerwelle's position. Westerwelle told Grinin he spoke as a "friend of Russia" who wanted Moscow to better defend human rights and democracy, Spiegel said.

Braeger Chevy helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
The video above shows how to replace blown fuses in the interior fuse box of your 2009 Pontiac G6 in addition to the fuse panel diagram location. Electrical components such as your map light, radio, heated seats, high beams, power windows all have fuses and if they suddenly stop working, chances are you have a fuse that has blown out. If your G6 is experiencing electrical problems, you should always check the fuses first, because they are relatively easy to check and cheap to change. Some Pontiacs have multiple interior fuse boxes including in the trunk - the video above will show you where the interior fuse box of your 2009 G6 is located. If your G6 has many options like a sunroof, navigation, heated seats, etc, the more fuses it has. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component in question.
If you need to replace a blown fuse in your G6, make sure you replace it with one that has the same amperage as the blown fuse. If checking and replacing the fuse for the component in question doesn't work, we recommend seeking assistance from a trusted professional mechanic. They should be able to figure out if the component needs to be replaced or if there is a short or some other problem with your G6.

Hi guys, I'm Abdul and new to the forum here. I've been a fan of this site from afar for some time now. I have an engineering background and for some time I've been working to upgrade my wardrobe to a more professional look. My hobbies include coin collecting, reading current affairs and studying computer technology. I'm currently saving for my first luxury watch, which I've narrowed down to a Omega Speedmaster, Rolex Datejust II 41mm, or a Tag Heuer Carrera Day Date.
Hello everyone! I've been lurking on these forums before and after I bought my first pair of Alden shoes (Alden Cordovan Shell Longwing Bluchers Color Number 8). I'll post a review soon. I have been in the aerospace industry since 2001 on the avionics side. I love sports cars and motorcycles, and my brother recently introduced me to high quality dress shoes. I jumped from DSW dress shoes (they are cheap and comfortable, but don't last) to Cole Haan and now Alden. Clothing wise, I used to justify spending tons of money on D&G and Donna Karan, but these days I am a little more practical with Armani Exchange and Levis/Wrangler jeans. In the fall/winter, I like to wear a blazer with jeans (grey colored jacket) and a large collection of custom made dress shirts (made to measure). I am pretty settled in life (wife, house, dog, no kids...yet). She has converted me into a pretty big money saver, but I hope to pick up a few more Alden shoes (maybe Ravello shell, some suede shoes, etc) over time.
Hai guaiz!!!

As if being $11 million in debt isn't bad enough, the "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" embattled star Teresa Giudice is now in an even deeper financial hole.
And most embarrassing, there's going to be a public auction of her personal stuff — furniture, a boat, that pool table, etc., etc. — held at her house next month, which should lead to must-see TV for "Real Housewives" fans.
]]>hidden personal assets. John Sywilok, whose job is to assess the Giudices' assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors, first claimed the couple didn't list profits from several businesses, including a laundromat, her Fabulicious clothing and accessory company, a pizza parlor and her cookbook, "Skinny Italian." According to The Wall Street Journal, the Giudices are also accused of undervaluing personal items such as a pool table ($1,000), wedding bands ($400) and living room furniture ($2,000). But according to People, the Giudice's attrorney, Jim Kridel, says the couple did not hide sources of income. "The contract for Teresa's book was signed after the bankruptcy petition was filed, and all money was received post petition," he says. As for the pizzeria, it is owned by Joe's father and should not have been considered an asset at the time of the filing. Kridel also points out that auctioning off the couple's personal property may not help much. "You can't sell used, personal property for the sticker price," he says. "A $5,000 chandelier won't sell for $5,000." A hearing on the matter has not been scheduled. But there are plans for an Aug 22 auction of the home's furnishing, accessories, tools, even a boat. Will Danielle Staub be on hand for the embarrassing enhanced garage sale at the Guidices' Towaco, N.J. mansion? Of course she will. Maybe she'll pick up a pool table? Let's hope Bravo will film the auction and that Danielle can stand to lose a few more clumps of hair extensions. Follow Zap2it and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news.

Diversity in the Workplace
The ALA Office for Diversity website provides information and resources on Strategic Planning for Diversity, Employment Discrimination, Diversity Statistics, Diversity Advocacy and the Recruitment and Retention of a Diverse Library Workforce.
NOTE: See the other main Diversity page for Serving Multicultural Populations information.
See these topics at the ALA Office for Diversity section of the ALA web site:
- See the Planning for Diversity page for Strategic Planning for Diversity and Employment Discrimination information, including sample diversity plans
- Find out more about fostering Recruitment and Retention with the Grow Your Own campaign and the Spectrum Scholarship
- Diversity Statistics are available
Training Programs
There are a number of general training resources available that target diversity issues. When looking through general training materials on diversity, you may wish to seek out exercises from the service industry if your goal is to facilitate service to diverse library users versus training staff on workplace diversity. If you are targeting workplace diversity, human resource training materials abound.
Non-library Specific Diversity Training Materials:
Which exercise you might wish to use depends very much on the outcome you are looking for from the training (are you raising people's awareness of the range of learning styles, the need for accomodations, their own prejudices, etc). To create meaningful change, you usually want to be as specific as possible. Also, ground training exercises designed to improve service to diverse communities in the community actually served by that specific library. Locate as much information as possible about the library users and the surrounding community. GeoLib displays easy-to-use geographic information of relevance, for library planning for a wide audience of (e.g., library researchers, librarians, and policymakers.)
Professional trainers often develop their own exercises after observing the actual climate where they are going to provide a training. They would review the climate surveys (if they have been done), shadow the library for a half day before providing a training, and conduct staff interviews. Informaton for finding a library diversity trainer can be found on the ALA Diversity Wiki . Keep in mind, the particular materials and exercises developed by a given trainer is intellectual property.

Look nice. You are right, I wouldn't expect anything but a straight forward, simple, and practical design from him.
Perusing the mags at my local Borders I ran across this small pic. Pretty straightforward design as I would expect from him. Looks like a beefed up mora.
Look nice. You are right, I wouldn't expect anything but a straight forward, simple, and practical design from him.
I like that. Did it mention specs?
Unfortunately not. That quick blurb and small pic was all that was listed. I assume it will be a lot thinner than most of the TOPS knives, the scales appear to be natural micarta, but they look more orange in the pic.
It looks good, but I want to know how thick it will be first.
When I read the title I said to myself, "please dont be coated, please dont be coated..." Im impressed. First Tops knife Ive liked besides Joes Shango. Id love to see specs....
Interesting. The overall shape looks good. I like that the scales are removable. It would be easy enough to replace with some nice stabilized wood scales. No blade coating is always a plus. I just hope the blade isn't too thin. 1/8" or 5/32" would be my preference. If this comes with a halfway decent sheath and the specs are right, I'll be all over it.
I like the looks of that.
It is unusual to see the scales being held on with phillips head screws. Makers usually shy away from those because they are too "usual" and like to stay with the hex head screws. But being from Cody, it makes sense to use screws that can be removed without any special equipment other than a screw driver
I cruised back through the E2E Shot Show coverage with Joe, and BOOM! right there at 2:30 he shows it. Looks like a great thickness, hope it comes out like that. I'm pretty sure it's the same knife anyway. Come on Joe, tell, tell!
Edit: Dang, how do you embed youtube again? Well, it's there anyway. And the Shango-zilla still looks great too.
I like it even more, now! Plus, I kinda like the Tracker Necker.
Not surprising to see the Mora influence, as it's the knife he carries.
This does look interesting though.
huh.. doesn't look too bad... i like it..
I've been a fan of Cody's for a long time so I would probably pick one up if the price is right. Though I still haven't quite warmed up to scandi's
Bear Claw, thanks for embedding that. How do you do that again?
interesting not a bad looking knife wonder what it will go for
Looks nice. It indeed resembles a Mora. It looks like there is some jimping on it.
They said a little over $100.

It's airing in summer. SILVERLINK is the studio in charge. I guess they'll make it C3/Baka-Test like?

About frakken time Shin Oonuma got his hands on a decent source (assuming he's directing it since he pretty directs all of Silver Link's anime). Ever since ef tale of memories/melodies, this guy has done nothing noteworthy for me - Baka Test, C3, the upcoming Amenisa something anime. Only bad thing is the K-on like designs... Please don't chipmunkify it Oonuma.
Now to prod 0utf0xzer0 about the good news..

Is it just me or does it seem that Iori's character design look alike to Yui?
If so, it's DOUBLE COMBO to Aki-chan. And I wish that they have the same voice character (you know, a bit high-pitched). And Himeko just looked like Mio. My goodness. And it doesn't include me.

LN volume 1(no spoilers):
Went through the first volume of this a while ago. If I had to compare it to something...it would be Dawson's Creek? In the sense that the characters are typical teenage kids in maturity, but are much more smart, articulate and verbose than the anime norm. Two of the leading female characters in particular are very smart, and they go on and on about ontology and the like. The romance in the book are also handled maturely, more like how real teenagers would approach romance (part of this is attributed to the fact that the guys and girls actually think about sex) than how most anime teenagers would. The characters, despite their "maturity" are still very likeable and adorable. Needless to say, I find the characters very well done. The supernatural part is what makes this series a bit wonky. I won't say much more than this cause anymore would be spoiling. So in short, I can vouch for the source material being in my opinion pretty good(the first volume anyway). Its no K-On! that's for sure.

You can have a slight taste of it in the two manga chapters that are out
Even from that small sample, I concur with winhlp's description... Particularly the Supernatural part I'm not entirely sure if it's a necessary inclusion But yes, the two lead girls are very cute in their own way

But of course, I'm only 2 chapters in so I'm not the best person to get an opinion on this. If I were to guess what part the body switching element would play, I suppose it could be used to get two characters to 'learn more about the other' by living their life through their eyes... Literally

Ano Natsu's sci fi elements were REALLY distracting initially, but then I got use to it and simply ignored it. It helped in that it was mainly used for comedic purposes (lol @ Men in Black references) but then it hit in full force in its later eps where it comes to hurt the progression once again. Bungaku Shojo's revelation was just wtf. Anohana's was a dissappointment but in the end it ended well given the path they took. More often than not, supernatural elements in slice of life animes for me tend to ruin it rather than enhance it. I'm hoping Kokoro Connect's isn't overwhelming unlike some of these I mentioned because I'm really looking forward to Shin Oonuma to actually deliver something high tier since his peak days of ef tale of memories (and melodies, though this was inferior to memories).

2. Third person. 3. Definitely lots of dialogue, but not in the "info-dump" kind of manner. Quote:
In Kokoro Connect, the supernatural stuff really kept the light-hearted parts fun and entertaining throughout the book. The whole switching-around thingy allows these emotionally-baggaged teenagers to open up and confide in each other. But to use it for drama...
