Specifying Susbsytem ID in DB2 .Net Provider
I'm using DB2Connect V 9.7. My application is .Net and we use the DB2 .Net
provider(IBM.Data.DB2.dll). My DB2 server is z/OS. Is there anyway to
specify the subsystem ID using this provider? For ODBC, I can see that
there's a configuration setting mvsdefaultssid but I don't see any for the
.Net provider
Thanks Mahesh

text: Instead of working on the parallelism assignment, I'm creating another mural, a project that spun off of our previous chalk mural. While we were working on our chalk mural in the courtyard, a teacher approached us about working on a mural in her room. She teaches computer classes and said that for years she'd been wanting to paint a mural in her room to help make the technology classes more appealing to women. She explained that women make great programmers but they often don't chose that course of study because they feel uncomfortable in that environment/ feel as though they don't belong . Later in the week we went to look at the wall she had in mind and started sketching out our ideas. At first we were thinking about doing a landscape of some sort, but then Hannah suggested something more graphic and bold that would have a larger impact on the space. She found this picture for inspiration. We loved the bright colors and the organic shapes, and plan to also incorporate bubbles and fish to the leafy background. Instead of using the darker hues as our background, we switched to turquoises which girls in the class said were more appealing to them. This past week we started painting the background color of the wall, a mix of three tints of turquoise. We also blocked off the wall to look like a portal to further the illusion of being under the sea.

To the best of my ability to remember, I never heard the word busking before reading it in A Long Way Down. Web search says the term busking originated in England. Makes sense; author of the novel, Nick Hornby is English. Busking is what I call street musicians or perhaps more correctly what street musicians do ~ play a guitar, case open in front of them on sidewalk, expecting or hoping passerby's toss some coins there way ~ or more preferably dollar bills.
Character in the book, JJ started busking because it felt better than delivering pizza. He had competition from Jerry Lee Pavement who would set up next to him, playing the same tune JJ was playing. Earlier, JJ, his band-mate/brother, and ex-girlfriend took an argument out on the streets. A homeless guy joined the sparring. JJ imagined the band getting back together dedicating a song to "Homeless Guy", and "Hey--he could maybe even be our road manager."
The homeless guy in the book probably was not suicidal. Does not specifically say that Jerry Lee Pavement was homeless. There have been incidents were people jumped to their death from not-so-tall buildings in Long Beach. It seems to me, the preferred manner of a homeless person taking their own life in Los Angeles county is to step in front of a moving train.
I always wondered if the dead person found in a beach seaweed hill was a guy whose name I have forgotten, perhaps it was John. Last time I spoke to him he wanted to get a hemlock rope and end it all. The body found in the pile of trash raked up from the beach was his age. I pretty much read the Press-Telegram daily while on the streets and did not see a follow-up story identifying the dead man.
Feeling worthless with no hope does lead to suicidal thoughts. I doubt, though, that homeless people are more prone to them, than any in the general population.

Sprint by Jake Knapp attempts to teach us an engaging and interactive way to come up with solutions and test ideas in just five days. In my opinion the book succeeds at doing that. See my review of the book here. While the book focuses on a single technique, within the techniques are many ideas that canbe used independently. One of such ideas is the 'four-step sketch'. The four-step sketch is a way to come up with a rough sketch for a potential solution. The four steps involved are: notes, ideas, crazy 8s and solution sketch.
- Notes: during a sprint you will collect lots of information and ideas. The aim of the four-step sketch process is to bring the information and ideas together to begin to create solution for the goal set at the beginning of the sprint. For the notes step, people will be given 20 minutes to go round the room and note down information which they find relevant to the solution being designed. After the 20 minutes is up they will be given an extra 20 minutes to review the information they've noted down.
- Idea: next is the idea strage, when each person will start jotting down ideas derived from all the information they collected at the notes stages. Ideas can be jotted down as doodles, headlines, diagrams, stick figures and whatever cones to mind. It does not matter if the ideas look messy or are incomplete. Another 20 minutes is used for this stage.
- Crazy 8s: this is a quick exercises which involves each person taking their strongest idea and rapidly sketching out eight variations of the idea in eight minutes. To do this each person divides the sheet of paper they have into 8 different sections and uses each section for sketching one variation of the idea, so that in the end the same idea has eight variations. Note that the 'crazy' does not refer to the idea, but rather the pace of the sketching. The focus here is on deriving usable ideas.
- Solution Sketch: this is the stage where everyone's idea will be assessed by the whole group. But first each person must take their best idea sketch it out in detail in a three-panel format. This can be three sticky notes or three sheets of paper. Some tips for doing this well are: make sure it is self explanatory, keep it anonymous, it doesn't have to look elegant, ugly is okay, good writing is important and give it a catchy title.

Spartan NFL Combine Report: Sunday
Watch: McDowell Runs 4.85 40-Yard Dash
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Linebacker Riley Bullough and defensive lineman Malik McDowell performed on-field testing in front of NFL coaches and scouts on Sunday in Lucas Oil Stadium on the sixth day of the NFL Combine.
McDowell, who measured in at 6-6 and 295 pounds earlier in the combine, made quite the impression with an official time of 4.85 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
In the other running tests, McDowell clocked in at 4.53 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle and 7.69 seconds in the 3-cone drill. He recorded a 28.5-inch vertical leap and had a broad jump of 112 inches (9'3"). He had 23 reps on the bench press (225 pounds).
Checking in at 6-2 and 226 pounds, Bullough had a 31.5-inch vertical leap and 116-inch broad jump (9'7"). He lifted 225 pounds 20 times on the bench press.
Safety Montae Nicholson will test on the field Monday in the defensive backs group. Follow live on NFL.com and NFL Network, beginning at 9 a.m.

so believe it or not, i think i figured out what my problem is. whenever i try to pick out a new book to read, which believe it or not is almost every day, it takes me forever because im always looking for the perfect book. particularly this week because last week i read like ten or twelve really disturbing graphic novels. so i was looking for something upbeat but not too, how shall i say? crappy. anyway, so i did find one book a couple of days ago that worked out pretty good but generally i have problems finding new books and end up borrowing books ive already read. i think this makes me some kind of snob. i also always feel like the paper back section is trashy and im afraid i might run into someone i know while im in it. which is also kind of snobby. if not, at least a little i missed my medication-ey. anyway i had planned on writing a more elaborate post about this but i only have three minutes left on this internet station. and ive basically forgotten most of what i wanted to say. *sigh*

I'm having a issues finding books to read lately too. I feel like I'm way too old to be still being reading young adult stuff (even though I love it oh so much) but the adult version of the stuff I read is either a) trashy, b) poor written and/or predictable or c) trashy AND poorly written/predictable.
I wish I knew what I liked. I guess that's kind of the opposite of your issue. haha

I am guilty quite often of being in the room and yet totally unaware of what is happening around me. Sad to say but I lived many years of my life like that. Merely existing. Doing what was expected of me and after having your questions go unanswered and no one daring you to dream, it is easy to become numb to your own life never mind what is going on outside your window.
It takes courage to admit that life as you know it is not enough and then wisdom and tenacity comes along to help you see there is so much more for you to see and experience.
Life is like that for me right now. I am seeing a different world than the one I knew it to be and not all of it is bad. The more I see, the more I am aware of what my purpose here is. The more I have the courage to ask the questions and wait for the answer, the more I learn that there is no one that is beyond redemption and we each can play a role in helping others.
Sometimes one word is all it can take to turn someone around, one touch calms a baby, one rub tells a husband he matters and you got his back. One look tells a friend you are listening when you don't have the words they need to hear. One smile tells a child they have got your attention when you have no clue who Phineas and Ferb are.
Today just be there.

That's tied with last week's per-unit price and $5 under the lowest price we could find for this quantity elsewhere. Each pack includes 25 glow sticks and 25 connectors to turn the glow sticks into bracelets.

All of us want to get airline low-cost low cost ticket travel and I've 10 truly very good options to support you do exactly that.

Not quite a half year
Glad to know that other moms get overwhelmed http://samstermommy.blogspot.com/2011/01/mommy-pills.html I'm not taking any medication, and I think I'll make it without needing something. However, I completely understand what she's saying. Read the comments, too! One of the first comments mentions how most moms today don't have the support that our grandmothers had. I hadn't really thought of that. Amen.
Christy said this:
I've decided/realized that getting out of the house on my own REALLY cheers me up, so I'm having sitters visit us more often, and it's good for everyone.
Amen, again.
You can read more of her wisdom here.
I recently helped host a baby shower and was talking to a gal I've known since before kindergarten. She mentioned that a gal who went to high school with us who has eight (yes, 8) kids said that the hardest transition was from two kids to three. Thank you, I needed to hear that. With so many saying two to three is so much easier than one to two, I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! Don't get the wrong idea. I love having my three. It's hard work though, and there's not a lot of time to do every day things that really need to be done (cleaning and organizing around the house being the biggie for me).
Despite having zero time to sew, I went on a mini-buying spree a couple of weeks ago buying three new patterns (one for a tunic for me:) I keep telling myself that one of these days very soon, I'm going to have a bit of time to sew. When I do, wouldn't these elephants be fun?
I've noticed I have a thing for elephant prints.
So, I'm still here, just having a hard time finding time to blog, clean, sew, and the like :) I'll try not to be a such a stranger around here.

Yay! So happy to see you back here. I REALLY want to learn to sew - you're so inspiring. Sorry to hear it's a harder adjustment than from 1-2. That's scary! Ugh! Hope you have a fab weekend, and hope to see you again real soon!
PS - I'm blushing. Wisdom?! Hehehe.

Gasp! Did you buy this fabric?! It's adorable!
Thank you for the blog link. I think back on the first YEAR or so of A's life and it had me crying. Shew, it's so hard and so not talked about. I have a couple unposted blog posts about it, but feel just too embarassed to bring it up. I've often wondered about the support. I know that I have a few very close friends who would be very supportive, but still I haven't brought it up much, even to you. I think it's so easy to get caught up thinking that everyone else's lives are perfect and peaceful.
8 kids?! Wow.

Nice to see you back! I love the elephant print.

Christy- you so deserve it! You are wise beyond your years :)
Tasha & Ruth- Thank you!
Mel- I don't have that fabric, just saw it in a catalog they send to my home (aka teasing me). Must start sewing fabric before buying it!

{I wrote this last night} and yes, I forgot to take pictures of them in their skirts}
Today has been slightly chaotic. It's 9pm and I am just now sitting down to drink my dinner. {I already cleaned the kitchen and was too lazy to make myself dinner, So I just pulled a spinach protein shake out of the freezer} Yes, I fed my kids Chick fil A. So sue me. I made the girls some cute skirts, Which is what took the majority of the day. I may post pictures later, If I remember. Last night LaLa and I went to the fabric store and she picked out some fabric for her skirt. So this morning we sat on the kitchen floor, and cut out the skirt together. {Space is limited in this tiny little house, So we got creative. I can't wait for the next house where I have an entire office to myself. Dedicated to sewing, crafting, food storage, Where I won't break my back sitting on the floor.} Sorry, I got side-tracked daydreaming, back to where I was, Cutting the skirt out together. I was a little nervous about that but she did great, And I got to teach her how to follow the pattern and explain a few simple things about it. She's only 3, But she loves doing whatever I'm doing, and was a great little helper. I'm learning to be patient. It would have been much easier and faster to just hurry and cut it out. She loves to "help" with the dishes, or laundry or whatever else I happen to be doing. Like I said those things would be much easier and faster without "help" But they are sweet memories we get to make together.
As a side note, I am buying a serger. French seams take way too long. I got done with LaLa's skirt and loaded the kids in the van and went to my moms to use her serger. Trust me, That was way faster than doing french seams on Kynzi's skirt.

Yes. All counties and local governments have an office charged with monitoring and conducting elections. In some jurisdictions, this entity may have a different name, such as Board of Registrars, but it has the same authority and responsibilities as a Board of Elections.Do state governments have Boards of Elections?
Some states have offices with the title Board of Elections. However, these state-level offices are usually established for the purpose of elections enforcement and the investigation of complaints. They do not have the breadth of responsibility for conducting elections typically associated with county and local boards of elections. In addition, all but three states have a Secretary of State with some elections oversight authority.Do voters have to register every year or every election?
No. Once a voter is registered, he or she is permanently registered and will remain on the voter list until the voter is removed due to death or relocating to a new voting district.

These are all new houses, but I simpy cannot call them "homes". They are cheaply built barns with holes cut in them for windows on a couple of sides (only 2 sides of the houses have windows! I NEED SUNLIGHT!), with a quickly slapped on veneer in front to give you the illusiuon of luxury - the brick or stone you see from the front is actually just a veneer, the sides and back of the houses are all cheap vinyl. It's common to see the vinyl on these homes actually bowing! I've seen it so many times in the last couple of days it's sickening. These are new houses, dang what a rip off! And the sad thing is that folks are paying $200,000 and up to live in these shacks!
All of the houses are shades of grey. Apparently this was intentional. I am assuming the builder and/or the home association decided this because they think it will foster better resale values? However I beg to differ. I understand not allowing boats and campers in the front yard...but mandating that every house be a shade of GREY or BROWN? C'mon! That is pure nonsense. Houses in the most expensive markets in the United States, like around Santa Cruz, CA, are full of colour, inside and out.
They either have a small concentration-camp yard, with no basement, or NO YARD and a "finished basement", (which really isn't a basement).. it's really a first level that is halfway burmed! Now correct me if I sound insane, but isn't a basement supposed to be totally underground on all four sides, with a little bit of the top sticking out with little crawl-through windows?
Another thing we despise about these neighborhoods is that the builders, in their money-making house-building stupor, have clear-cut all of the trees that were there to build these houses as well, so there are literally NO trees...and there is not really any landscaping to speak of.
It seems like people in these neighborhoods don't do any yardwork, it's all hired out to these "lawncare" men who come once a week and quickly mow down everything in their yards once a week in a mad money-making flurry. OMG, when did this happen? Since when was it legitimate for grown men to charge tons of money to do the job of an 11-year old boy, who should do it for five bucks?

Work is being done to build our understanding of the genetic and biological structure of AMD and the possible role of factors as abnormal lipoproteins, Muller cell mutation, oxidative stress (often a precursor to cancer and other diseases), abnormalities of retinal pigmentation, and the degeneration of the photoreceptors in the retinae.
Studies are currently underway to determine if increasing the intake of lutein, a nutrient concentrated in the human macula, can slow or reverse AMD. Other promising areas of exploration include attempts to slow or suppress the visual cycle, which occurs inside the retina when a photon is converted into an electrical stimulus. In 2013, the FDA approved the first retinal prosthesis to treat retinitis pigmentosa. The application of such devices for those with AMD represents an avenue of great hope.
An international team of researchers, funded in part by MVRF, recently identified a genetic variant that increases risk for development macular degeneration. This discovery linked inflammation and the immune response to the origination of AMD. This new research, once confirmed by other investigators, could lead to new directions in the prevention and treatment of macular degeneration.
Gene therapy has been an area of great promise as a therapeutic treatment for macular degeneration. In 2008, the first clinical trials for a genetic disease known as LCA2 were started by three groups, two of which were funded in part by MVRF. Early studies have shown that this treatment is safe, and, in nearly all cases, resulted in the partial restoration of vision in the treated eye. To date, the improved vision resulting from the gene therapy treatment has been sustained without adverse reactions.
A potential powerful approach to recover vision in individuals with vision loss from retinal degenerative diseases is to regenerate photoreceptors and/or retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. MVRF is funding a number of studies exploring the application of stem cells as a means to regenerate photoreceptor and RPE cells that are lost as a result of retinal degenerative diseases. In one current study, efforts are underway to reprogram human RPE stem cells into photoreceptor cells for transplantation.

"High above us in the darkness a solitary.." (Lee 254) Why does Harper Lee include this quote? What is the purpose?
- print Print
- list Cite
The quote finishes with "...mocker poured out his repertoire in blissful unawareness of whose tree he sat in...."
The theme of "it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" has not only been established by chapter 28, but back in chapter 21, Tom became a mockingbird symbol when he was convicted of something he did not do. He did nothing but help Mayella and had the "nerve" to feel sorry for her. That was his demise. So in this chapter, which is only a couple hours before Boo becomes a mockingbird symbol, this "mocker" is significant because Lee is pointing him out. Not only do the kids hear the bird singing, Scout's narration tells us that he's in Boo's tree. This may in fact be foreshadowing the upcoming events. That is most likely Lee's overall purpose of putting the bird in this scene.

Renewing our Minds

When you think of the word renew, what comes to mind? Some may think of it in a negative term such as having to renew a driver's license, fishing license or even a tag license. Although, the renewal that I'm talking about has nothing to do with earthly things, but has to do with the mind.
When I think of the word renew, I think of being refreshed or restored by taking off the old and putting on the new. The Bible has quite a bit to say about the word renew. Ephesians 4:23 states, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Our minds are powerful things. They dictate how we respond to life in so many ways. We are controlled by our minds. What we allow into it can influence us greatly. Because of this truth, it is so important to be careful what we allow our minds to dwell on and how we direct our thought life.
The way we perceive life starts with a thought. We all live in the same world, and yet we all have a different perceptive on it. What we allow our minds to absorb and believe will give us our outlook on life. This can make us live lives full of freedom and peace or the opposite bondage and anxiety.
Because of this strong influence our mind plays in our lives, we must guard our minds and keep them pure. 1 Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind…We are to guard and protect our minds. Satan is trying to get us to fall with so many things in this world and we must be alert and guard our minds from being influenced by them. If we desire to live pleasing lives for God, our minds must be transformed from thinking carnally. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The scripture starts off by stating we must not be "conformed" to the world. Conformed is to be "molded" or "to form" to something. It can also be seen as becoming a replica of something. Growing up in our surroundings, we can't help but be molded by what we watch or listen to on the t.v., the radio or even what we watch our friends do. We want to blend in and be accepted. Yet God has called us Christians to be different and to not be influenced by these things. We must be different in our actions, in our thoughts, in the way we talk and even in our perception. We are to swim against the flow of what we see around us or what society accepts as normal.
Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Carnality thinking only brings death. There is no life or freedom in it. Carnality thinking brings no hope to the person, only despair. When our mind's focus is on temporal worldly matters we become anxious, fearful, angry and discontent, especially when we are faced with situations that are unbearable for us. If our focus is just on the temporal earthly matters, we will lose our vision for life. Life becomes all about us and our situations rather than about God and his purpose for our lives. That brings stagnation and death. The later part of that scripture refers to the life and peace that will be granted to us if our minds are focused on Him. I find personally in my own life that when I'm going through a difficult time, if my mind is set on God by trusting in Him, the Holy Spirit will comfort me with peace. On the other hand, when my focus is on the temporal problem, I become weighed down with fear and doubt.
Mind renewal is a daily process. We are changed from glory to glory. Our faith must be reformed from carnality to spiritual and this is only done through the Holy Spirit's guidance. Pray daily asking God to change the way you think and obey his word and you will see a change in your own life. Your mind will begin to be renewed through the Holy Spirit's help.

Thanks for the info! I'll just watch the dubs on the site for now.
You can't. Gantz is one of a few series that FUNimation simply does not have the streaming rights for.
Same thing with Yu Yu Hakusho and Tsubasa. You're going to have to settle for actually buying or renting the discs for this one, I'm afraid. :hmm:
! Besides, you really don't want to. Gantz is a pile.

Karnataka may seek legal remedy on cattle sale: CM
MYSURU: Chief minister Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday that the Centre's ban on sale of cattle for slaughter is an attack on food culture, and opposed it. He hinted that Karnataka may approach the court, seeking a stay on the issue.
Speaking to reporters at Bylakuppe, where he arrived from Bengaluru to launch development projects in Peripayatna and Hunsur taluks, he said: "The state government has not received a copy of the revised notification. After studying the details, we'll decide about seeking a legal remedy."
The CM also took on state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa on farm loan waiver and said the BJP leader is ignorant about the issue. The total farm loans availed by farmers in the state is Rs 52,000 crore. Of this, Rs 42,000 crore has been taken from nationalized banks while Rs 10,000 crore is from financial institutions under the cooperative sector. The BJP should first get the Centre to waive Rs 42,000 crore availed from nationalized banks, he said.
The CM said BJP leaders should pressure the NDA government to waive farm loans. If that is done, the state will follow suit and waive Rs 10,000 crore, he said.
Siddaramaiah, who also holds the finance portfolio, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made a U-turn on GST. It was the UPA government which initiated GST. When Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat, he had opposed it. But now his government had made small amendments and brought it in, claiming it as its own, he said.

Decided: June 27, 1988.
JAMES CASSANO, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.WALTER ASCHOFF, DEFENDANT, AND LOIS DECARLO IMPROPERLY PLEADED AS LOUIS DECARLO, ROBERT DECARLO AND MANOR BEVERAGES, INC. T/A MANOR BEVERAGES, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS. LOIS DECARLO AND ROBERT DECARLO, THIRD PARTY PLAINTIFFS-RESPONDENTS, V. CHARLES GERMAINE, THIRD PARTY DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT
On appeal from Superior Court, Law Division, Bergen County.
Pressler, Bilder and Gibson. The opinion of the Court was delivered by Gibson, J.s.c. (temporarily assigned).
[226 NJSuper Page 112]
By this appeal plaintiff seeks to impose liability on landowners for injuries he sustained while an employee of an independent contractor. Among other things, plaintiff seeks to impose that liability based on the landowners' hiring of an independent contractor who was financially insecure. The trial court dismissed the claim at the end of plaintiff's case pursuant to R. 4:37-2(b). We affirm.*fn1
Plaintiff James Cassano was severely injured when struck by a falling tree limb during the course of his employment with Walter Aschoff. According to the plaintiff's proofs, Aschoff is an independent contractor engaged in the tree removal business who was hired by co-defendants Robert DeCarlo and Manor Beverages to remove a large tree from their common property line. Although Aschoff had considerable experience, having worked for others in the tree-removal business for many years,
[226 NJSuper Page 113]
this was one of the first jobs he had undertaken on his own. Before commencing the work, he had promised DeCarlo and Manor Beverages that he would assume full responsibility for the conduct of the job. Although he also represented that he was fully insured, he failed to produce proof of insurance and in fact, was covered neither by liability nor workers' compensation insurance.
Plaintiff submitted no evidence regarding any prior acts of negligence by Aschoff or impugning his reputation for competency, financial or otherwise. Nor did plaintiff testify to any inquires that he had made on these subjects. Nor, except for their awareness of his failure to produce evidence of insurance, was there any evidence that the property owners had reason to believe that Aschoff was not a competent and responsible contractor. Although, as it turned out, he performed the job negligently and was uninsured, we agree with the trial judge's conclusion that without more, these facts do not establish a basis for imposing liability on the landowners.*fn2
It has long been the rule in New Jersey and elsewhere that one who hires an independent contractor is not responsible for the latter's negligent acts. Majestic Realty Associates, Inc. v. Toti Contracting Co., 30 N.J. 425, 431 (1959); Prosser & Keeton, Torts (5th ed. 1984) Section 71 at 509. Exceptions to the rule are recognized where one retains control over the manner and means by which the work is to be performed, where the work constitutes a nuisance per se or where one knowingly engages an incompetent contractor. Majestic Realty Associates v. Toti Contracting Co., supra at 431; Terranella v. Union Bldg. & Construction Co., 3 N.J. 443, 446-447
[226 NJSuper Page 114]
(1950); Izhaky v. Jamesway Corp., 195 N.J. Super. 103 (App.Div.1984).
In this case, plaintiff does not claim that the property owners retained any control over the manner and means by which their contractor was to do the work or that they in any way intruded upon or affected his performance. Nor is it claimed that the work was a nuisance or inherently dangerous. Instead plaintiff argues that respondents should be liable because they hired an incompetent contractor and in particular, a financially unstable one. We find these arguments unpersuasive as a matter of fact and of law.
It is not enough that plaintiff proved that Aschoff performed this job incompetently or even that his proofs may have raised a factual question regarding Aschoff's incompetence. See e.g. Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. v. Johnson, 386 P. 2d 698, 701 (Alaska 1963). The fact that a contractor is negligent or incompetent in the manner in which he performs a particular job does not mean that he is incompetent generally. More to the point, Aschoff's poor performance was only known by these landowners in retrospect. The proofs presented regarding Aschoff's experience and reputation did not impute any knowledge to the property owners, actual or constructive, that Aschoff lacked the skill to perform competently. Thus, despite plaintiff's claims to the contrary, nothing was known by these property owners which would, in the exercise of due care, have caused them to conclude or have alerted them that the contractor they were hiring was incompetent. Compare cases collected in Annot., "Negligence in Hiring Independent Contractor," 78 A.L.R. 3d 910 (1977).
Although as appellant correctly points out, respondent's status as landowners imposed upon them a non-delegable duty to use reasonable care to protect invitees against known or reasonably ...

Penn State has scheduled a press conference for 4:15 p.m. Saturday at the Beaver Stadium media room to "make a major announcement."
It's likely the university will introduce Vanderbilt coach James Franklin as its 16th head football coach.
The compensation committee of Penn State's Board of Trustees will consider the new football coach's contract during a conference call at 9 a.m. Saturday after meeting during an executive session at 8:30 a.m.
The committee consists of trustees Paul Silvis, Karen Peetz, Mark Dambly, Linda Strumpf and Kathleen Casey.
Franklin cannot be officially hired until that committee approves his contract. The Centre Daily Times has reported that it is expected to be a formality.
ESPN reported that Franklin's contract is expected to be up to $4.5 million a year, which is about $700,000 more than Bill O'Brien made during his second year at Penn State.
If that report is true, Franklin's salary would rank in the top 10 in the country and second in the Big Ten, right behind the $4.6 million salary of Ohio State's Urban Meyer.

ASHLEY HALL: The Federal Liberal Party is meeting for the first time since last September's massive election victory.
But there won't be a lot of self-congratulation; instead the party will focus on finding ways to build on its electoral success.
Political Correspondent Louise Yaxley is in Melbourne for the Federal Liberal Council meeting.
LOUISE YAXLEY: In his final speech as president, Mr Stockdale made a series of suggestions.
ALAN STOCKDALE: The party needs to attract and retain more women as office bearers, as candidates and as MPs. This should be seen as a key priority for the party as a whole.
I believe that fundraising will attract more and more regulation and will become even more difficult than it's been over the last few years. As a result, I believe that the party has no real choice but to place increased reliance on raising a large number of small donations, as happens in many other western democracies.
Subject to proper protection of the party's interest, we should make it easier for people to join the party and more difficult for vested interests to exclude applicants.
And I also think that we should consider opening the federal organisation to corporate membership across the country, particularly as we're facing a pattern of the banning of corporate donations.
LOUISE YAXLEY: Former Howard government minister, Richard Alston, easily won the contest to take over as party president. His only opponent was John Ruddick, whose pitch included a call for more community involvement in selecting Senate candidates - like in the United States primary system
JOHN RUDDICK: And in the state of Oklahoma, 250,000 people decided that they wanted to have a say in who their candidate would be, and in Mississippi it was almost 0.5 million people. Now both Oklahoma and Mississippi have a smaller population than the city of Melbourne but hundreds of thousands of people woke up two days ago and they said 'yes I want to have a say in who my candidate is going to be in the election in November.' And I don't believe there's any significant difference in the amount of interest that the average Australian has in politics compared to the average American
LOUISE YAXLEY: Mr Alston plays that idea down.
RICHARD ALSTON: The Senate is not the same as, of course, the Lower House because you need to have a spread of people. Now I think one of the concerns that he himself raises is that you might find that there are only two or three large electorates that might dominate, and as a result you're drawing from a narrow gene poll. So I think it has to be looked at very carefully. No one state has gone down this path.
LOUISE YAXLEY: And while he was clear on that suggestion, Mr Alston will take his time before committing to some of the other ideas that Mr Stockdale raised.
(Question to Richard Alston) Corporate membership perhaps of the party?
RICHARD ALSTON: We're open to all sensible suggestions and I'll be going through Alan's speech with a fine tooth comb and analysing them all.
LOUISE YAXLEY: Female representation's also been raised a couple of times.
RICHARD ALSTON: Look I think we can always do more on that front. I think most people have said tonight we've got to look at any barriers that there might be.

Beyond gelato and spaghetti, this face and body cleanser might be our favorite Italian import. It gently eliminates layers of oil and dirt without leaving your face feeling as if it's been scrubbed with sandpaper. The hefty tube has enough to last you for months, while the faint fragrance won't leave you smelling like a perfume counter.
I began using my sample FINALLY the last couple of months and I think I've found exactly what I need. For harsh northern climates, one should not be washing their face with soap. My skin esthetician this summer actually told me that I should be using a cream cleanser anyway. I will definitely be using the product in the future.5

A heart failure drug and a vaccine against peanut allergies will be developed in Melbourne by new biotech companies.
To ensure the projects remains in the hands of the Victorian research institutes, a $9 million investment will be announced to fund start-up companies.
It is a major step for the country's scientists who have struggled to gain financial support for their projects and research.
Following years of investigation the vaccine against peanut allergies will receive $4.85 million from the allocated funds to boost its development.
According to Professor Robyn O'Hehir the vaccine will use safe fragments of the peanut protein to potentially cure the condition.
Meanwhile, a drug which intends to extend the quality of life for heart-failure patients is also being developed in Melbourne.
The medication, which can be taken at home, targets late-stage heart disease symptoms including shortness of breath, fluid build-up and exercise intolerance.

It is understood that if you organise a 'gaggle' of designers or planners to solve a mutual task, the number of alternative outcomes would be directly proportional to the number of participants – that is, if it was initially agreed amongst the 'gaggle' that there were no restrictions on alternative options. This does not mean that the participants would disagree on the alternative outcomes and that having multiple answers to a design problem is an issue. Moreover, the example positions the capricious nature of design.
The myriad of design methods and personal lenses that affect the qualitative side of analytical design are endless and by their own nature open to interpretation. Defining a 'correct' design process or outcome is meaningless, and the strength of design is lost when the process is limited, simplified or boxed. Can the similar be said when we try to define or corral the variables of our ever expanding profession?
The same observation can be applied to the profiling or marketing of Landscape Architecture. How does our national industry representative, AILA, speak with one voice when, by nature of the profession, there are so many voices which continue to blur between adjoining traditional professions, i.e. – planning, engineering, ecology, geography, etc.?
This short discussion does not suggest that we change the name of our profession, one that is embedded with the traditional understanding and language of 'landscape.' As an alternative proposition, it is suggested that our profession begins to use the language of 'place' to encompass a more universally understood and broader concept of landscape.
When we think of landscape, on the cognitive level, let's include the term of 'place' – 'Place Architecture'. Of course, this now brings up issues around the language of 'Architecture'. Most practitioners of landscape are interveners in interconnected systems, or actors in a fluid, non-object centred approach that does not practise control over the physical elements of 'place.' We therefore have to again, on a cognitive level, drop the connotations of control and objectification that are still embedded within our traditional understanding and language of 'Architecture' and instead suggest a language of systems and intervention. In this way, the practice of the Landscape Architect could be more broadly profiled as 'Place Facilitator, Manager or Intervener'.
The recently coined term of 'Place-Maker' is broadly associated with working in the area of 'place,' however this title is limited in that it falls back into the language and associations of Architecture, a dominant and objectifying act of humankind, as compared to the provision of a fluid intervention in the systems and processes of 'place'.
The expression 'capricious' is used in the header to deliberately conjure how seemingly unpredictable, inconsistent and indecisive our design and planning profession of Landscape Architecture at times may seem, especially to new practitioners and members within the broader design industry. Therefore, it is an initial suggestion that we discontinue the internal categorisation and naval gazing within our profession, continuing a circular critique without providing a way to transcend our broader industry endorsed box. Being pigeonholed can provide means to hold design industry ground; however will ultimately lessen access to an ever expanding and valuable 'place' discourse.
AILA's current definition of the profession of a Landscape Architect is based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations, International Labour Office, Geneva, stating;
Landscape Architects research, plan, design and advise on the stewardship, conservation and sustainability of development of the environment and spaces, both within and beyond the built environment.
…and Landscape Architecture,
…is the profession committed to the creation of meaningful and enjoyable outdoor places and to the sustainable management of our environment.
The above definition of practitioner and profession are intentionally broad, however this paper suggests that, unfortunately, the use of language continues to adhere to the simplistic Australian public perception that a Landscape Architect is a practitioner who works beyond the realms of glorified garden design (landscape designer). As recognised, the existing definition is based on the common understanding of the word 'landscape' compounded with the relationship an urban populace has with our vast, apparently untouched, natural environment (that is seemingly non-designed). The only truly designed landscape that 'Aussies' continually revert back to is the humble 'backyard'. Conceivably, is this why an international impression of Landscape Architecture (European, South American, etc.) tends to be more encompassing to 'place' design / planning? Deconstructing the Australian people's understanding of landscape has warranted many educational papers leaving this discussion topic providing only a sip from a soup that has most of its ingredients suspended in a breeding broth of ambiguity.
As stated, this short paper does not intend to suggest we change the name of our vitally important profession however that we broaden the language that is used in Profiling and Marketing. An option for AILA Profiling and Marketing would be to embrace the uncomplicated industry boxed definition of Landscape Architecture as 'garden design.' This could be used as a starting point, while also expanding on the profession's broader, systems-based approach to 'place.' This could include educating and raising the public expectation of 'landscape', including how it can encompasses the broader term, 'place.' Associated with this, an aim to increase public awareness around the act of Landscape Architecture as sensitive, sustainable, bold and beautiful – an act of 'Place Intervention'.
In closing, how does Landscape Architecture become crucial to addressing the 'wicked' issues of 'place'? Ultimately it is up to us, as practitioners and as a proudly capricious profession to lead by example.
UDLA Principle Director
Greg has over 20 years' experience in the 'place' development and management industry as Environmental Consultant, Landscape Architect and Urban Designer. He has a strong socio-environmental philosophy that acknowledges a sustainable imperative to lesson 'greenfield' expansion within the Australian urban condition and therefore focuses his efforts on providing an inclusive participatory and site responsive process to 'growing' urban centres and neglected 'greyfields'.
As Principal Director of UDLA, with studio's located in Broome and Fremantle, his team believe to address the 'wicked problems' that exist within our increasingly complex society there needs to be a robust imperative to analyse and address all the interrelated factors that foster 'place' well-being.
Greg's learning's come from numerous community development projects providing opportunity to continually design community building tools in realisation that every complex problem requires a unique solution. Deciding on an appropriate inclusive process requires experience and a sensitive intuition. Fortunately Greg's project history, acknowledged through his peers and industry awards demonstrates capacity to navigate through many 'wicked problems' and draw the appropriate threads to connect the 'place-led' analysis with resilient sustainable solutions.

Still here!
Wow! Two months with out a post! So much has happened since the last time I updated this blog! A new niece and nephew! Another strawberry season come and gone! My first child graduated high school! I have deliberately not blogged in this space for these last few months, as I needed to let something go for a season. Things have slowed down for the time being, and so I am feeling ready to begin this record of my days again. I have missed this!

BUT, it hasn't stopped me from trying a new recipe here and there. Here is what I made for lunch on Sunday - I was trying to avoid going to the grocery store and use what I had, so I found a recipe and make some changes to it....it was SUPER yummy! I think you'll like it! Even my kids ate it up!!!
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Melt butter/coconut oil in heavy skillet and brown chicken on all sides. Remove to covered 9x13 inch casserole.
- Add mushrooms to pan drippings and saute. Add flour and gradually add stock or broth and sherry/wine. Season with rosemary; deglaze skillet.
- Arrange artichoke hearts among the chicken pieces and pour sauce over all. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until tender.
This was REALLY, REALLY tasty - it is sort of "juicy", so when I make it again I'll probably serve it over quinoa or couscous, etc. ENJOY!!!

"The gospel, applied to our hearts every day, frees us to be brutally honest with ourselves and with God. The assurance of His total forgiveness of our sins through the blood of Christ means we don't have to play defensive games anymore. We don't have to rationalize and excuse our sins. . .
We can call sin exactly what it is, regardless of how ugly and shameful it may be, because we know that Jesus bore that sin in His body on the cross. With the assurance of total forgiveness through Christ, we have no reason to hide from our sins anymore." - Jerry Bridges

I know that it has already come and gone, but Merry Christmas! We hope that you all had a great one, because we sure did! We started it off by going to our traditional Christmas eve bowl (where Dario won for the third year in a row with a whopping 208)! We woke up on Christmas morning and opened about half of our presents before Hunter decided he had had enough. So we took a break and went to my parents house for a yummy breakfast. Then we came back home and for the second year in a row made a tasty turkey dinner to share with our family! We then finished the day by opening the rest of our presents! It really was a great Christmas, filled with yummy food, good company, and lots of memories! Here are some pictures...

"Snow" much fun!
So we got a bit of snow here the other day, and Hunter and I thought we'd go and check it out. Not to mention this would be Hunter's first time playing in the snow!
Well, when I first opened the front door he was excited to see the Christmas lights and the look of the white snow... then he took a couple of steps into the snow and panicked when he couldn't see his feet or the ground. It took a couple of minutes and some convincing that it was really ok, and then he was fine. First time in the snow: Successful!

Go Jazz Go!
So we took Hunter to his first live Jazz game over the weekend! It was a lot of fun and Hunter did amazing! It was fun to watch him as he clapped along with the crowd, danced to the music, and watched the players run around!
The first of the game, intensely watching!
Nice view!

|Mark Sanchez, quarterback for NY Jets
From NPR: NFL players voted to OK a final deal Monday, days after the owners approved a tentative agreement, and the sides finally managed to put an end to the 4 1/2-month lockout, the longest work stoppage in league history.
"This is a long time coming, and football's back," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, "and that's the great news for everybody."
At a joint appearance outside the NFL Players Association headquarters, Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith were flanked by some of the owners and players who were involved in the talks. They spoke shortly after the NFLPA executive board and 32 team reps voted unanimously to approve the terms of a deal.
"We didn't get everything that either side wanted ... but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced," Smith said.
The sides worked through the weekend and wrapped up the details Monday morning on a final pact that runs for 10 years, without an opt-out clause, a person familiar with the deal told the AP on condition of anonymity.
Owners decided in 2008 to opt out of the league's old labor contract, which expired March 11. That's when the owners locked out the players, creating the NFL's first work stoppage since 1987.
Btw - please notice that there IS a football in the photos. AND they are pictures of NFL quarterbacks. AND I knew all that.

Difference between revisions of "TNX:Faction - Knight Wardens"
(Created page with "= Description = * '''Name''': "Knight Wardens" Security Preservation Agency * '''Type''': Organization * '''Subfactions''': None * '''Headquarters''': N◎VA, Wet City The K...")
(No difference)
Revision as of 00:18, 2 March 2017
- Name: "Knight Wardens" Security Preservation Agency
- Type: Organization
- Subfactions: None
- Headquarters: N◎VA, Wet City
The Knight Wardens are a provider of bodyguard services, managed by an information processing AI. Though a small-scale organization, their services are available throughout the world and command a premium fee. Having the recommendation of the Knight Wardens is the ultimate guarantee one can possess as a bodyguard, and many freelancers compete for their membership.
This organization, founded by the legendary Kabuto "The Silver Guardian" Blocker, requires its members to swear a knight's chivalric oath to protect the weak. It then connects worthy Kabuto to contract jobs, ranging from escorting corporate VIPs and celebrities to goods and convoys, as well as providing security at events and businesses; sometimes they are even called upon to patrol the city streets in times of crisis. Their services are prized by celebrities, corporations, and government figures; at times even military forces make use of them. The Neuro Age is one of the deadliest eras in history, but enough money can buy you safety, and that's in large part thanks to the Knight Wardens and organizations like them.
Kabuto registered as Knight Wardens are considered the best of the best. Personally selected and trained by "The Silver Guardian," only warriors that Booster sees as an equal are allowed to bear the name of the Knights.
But the Knight Wardens are more than just meat shields. At times they talk with enemies down; at times they pre-emptively eliminate threats to their charges. The true strength of the Knight Wardens is their unique ability to develop faultless strategies for protection, evaluating each situation individually and mobilizing assets on a global scale if necessary.
For this purpose, working in tandem with the Kabuto of the Knight Wardens are negotiators, snipers, cybertech experts, and other freelancers with skills that can support the Kabuto themselves. It is only thanks to stalwart squires such as them that the Knights can ride forth and prove their valor.

It's Labor Day! – the last long weekend of summer. Do you have big plans for today?
We plan to just hang around the house and relax, stay in out of the hot weather, watch a little TV, crochet a little, throw some hot dogs and/or burgers on the grill, cook up that fresh corn on the cob, and hopefully take the Canon for a walk.
Yep; that sounds like a good way to spend a day off.
I hope everyone else is also having a relaxing day!

Hi I'm in a real estate development course through Harvard extension school. Would love to chat! I have some questions about the Allston community and would like to get your perspective about the developing of the area. My e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
I look forward to connecting

Kevin was infuriating. He sang the same song: "we are discussing use of properties with thw Allston task Force and Allston Civic Association". Not true. And I agree the library is great but I think tbat is really the only good thing he can point to. The park when it happens is not becuase they are great but becuase it was a condition to get the Science Project approved.
I agree - Kevin was infurating, and I was surprised that his tone was just as arrogant as it has been in meetings, and I'm glad that he presented himself to the audience that way.ReplyDelete
As far as Emily Rooney not spending enough time on a topic goes, there's just not enough room in a segment of a half-hour show to satisfy the complexities of what's happening here. It probably has more to do with her wanting to cover as much ground as possible and not get stuck on one particular facit of the problem. It would be great if there were a way to compel someone to devote a much greater time chunk to the issue, though it would have to be via documentary and not associated with a regular program.
