Today is one of those days.
I laughed so hard at your comment about the new line of dolls, thanks for that! I am sorry Michael is being difficult. Just remember, you can torture him when he is a teenager (and tell him why you are doing it)!
The sound in our house with that comment would be two children screaming in the background.
Or fighting.
Or tattling.
I second that statement here in our house right now!!!

And then there were two.
Brandon Russell and Chris Terry of El Camino Real are the headband twins. They were part of four players from last year's City Section Division I championship team that wore headbands during games.
After the graduation of Evan Wardlow and Kelton Conway, Russell and Terry decided to keep the tradition going this season.
Depending on whether they are wearing white or blue uniforms, that will be the color of their headbands.
They like their fashion statement. And they shoot well with their headbands.

The had a coolant leak, but was able to make it to my location. Made a mess on new driveway at our new home.
Matthew J. en
No one was at the drop-off site, and the instructions for leaving the trailer were not clear. I was able to get help by calling back to the Eau Claire pick-up location, but this could have been better streamlined.
Adam P. en
Guy at the counter is a bit arrogant. Long story short....car didn't fit on the dolly when I was told it would. After struggling to get it to fit, returned dolly to dealer hoping to credit the price to a full size car trailer...was told I'd have to pay for both. Really disappointed. Could have at least tried to be a little flexible and work with me to find a trailer that would work to get the job done.
MARTIN K. en
No one was there on a Friday afternoon. No instructions except a lone key drop.
Stephen N. en
The owner was pleasant and helpful. It was easy to do the paperwork and head out.
Jordan G. en
I was told that I would be picking up the truck in Wausau, about 1 hour north of Steven's Point. When I got to the Wausau location to pick up the truck like I was told to, they did their best to fix the situation since it wasn't their fault. Nobody called to tell me that it was switched to Steven's Point. Nobody called to confirm the appointment and give guidance the day before like I was told they would. The location then closed early on the day of my pickup and did not call to tell me this. It was a horrible experience.
Justin T. en
Don't change anything
Trent P. en
Hard to find, not inviting at all. Very janky looking. Guy was very laid back about getting trailer checked in, didn't act like he cared. Reason I didn't give below average rating was because of how quick he did actually check trailer in that day. Try to show you care a little bit more next time

The Republic of Tajikistan
Tajikistan is a mountainous landlocked country in Central Asia. It borders Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east. The country covers an area of 143.000 km2 and is home to some of the highest mountains in the world, including the Pamir and Alay ranges.
Tajikistan proclaimed independence from the collapsing Soviet Union on 9 September 1991. Most of Tajikistan's population of 8 million belongs to the Persian-speaking Tajik ethnic group, who share a language, culture and history with Afghanistan and Iran. Almost immediately after independence, Tajikistan was plunged into a civil war that saw various factions fighting one another. By 1997, the war had cooled down, a central government began to take form, and a newly established political stability coupled with foreign aid has allowed the country's economy to grow. Emomalii Rahmon has held the office of President continually since November 1994. The presidential election held in November 2006 was boycotted by "mainline" opposition parties. The most recent elections, in February 2010, saw the ruling People's Democratic Party of Tajikistan maintain a comfortable majority.
Tajikistan and the EU
The European Union is pursuing a closer relationship with Tajikistan, focusing its co-operation on facilitating Tajikistan's economic transition and on promoting an inclusive, sustainable human and economic development. Tajikistan is becoming an increasingly important partner within the Central Asia cooperation programme. The Partnership and Co-operation Agreement (PCA) signed in 2004, entered into force in the beginning of 2010. It provides a comprehensive and ambitious framework for co-operation with Tajikistan, in all key areas of reform. Tajikistan society is undergoing a profound transformation and the EU is assisting the Government in its structural reform process as well as enhancing the capacity of its civil society, working in partnership with local and international NGOs. On 1 January 2010 the EU Delegation in Tajikistan was upgraded to a full-fledged diplomatic mission, and its highest ranking representative was accredited at the level of ambassador.
At the regional level, political relations with Tajikistan fall under the 2007 European Union and Central Asia: Strategy for a New Partnership, which outlines the overall EU co-operation objectives, policy responses and priority fields for engagement in Central Asia. In June 2012, the European Council and the European Commission published their latest Joint Progress Report on the implementation of the EU Central Asia Strategy.
The EU supports Tajikistan through national-level programmes worth € 66 million for the 2007-2010 period and € 62,1 million for 2011-2013. In addition, the EU regional Central Asia programmes aim to promote regional cooperation and good neighbourly relations in the region.
Tajikistan and the Rule of Law Initiative
Tajikistan hosted the Second Ministerial Conference in Dushanbe in June, 2010. At the Third Ministerial Conference in Brussels in December 2012, Tajikistan endorsed the Joint Communiqué and its substantial conclusions and highlighted steps taken to improve judicial procedures and criminal justice. The first training events in Tajikistan held under the Rule of Law Initiative include workshops on law-drafting techniques (July 2-3, 2013), on administrative law (August 13-14, 2013) and on "Particularities of criminal justice in Tajikistan » (September 10-11, 2013).
Tajikistan has indicated that it will soon appoint a Rule of Law Initiative National Coordinator.
The Mission of the Republic of Tajikistan to the European Union in Brussels provides support to the political dialogue between Tajikistan and the EU on matters related to the Rule of Law Initiative. The Delegation of the EU to Tajikistan in Dushanbe supports the EU's policies in rule of law.
Rule of Law in Tajikistan
The government's "Programme of legal and judicial reform for 2007-2010" has played an important role in the development of legislation and the establishment of new independent legal bodies to improve the rule of law in Tajikistan. The next phase of the National Programme (2011-2013) is currently being implemented. This aims at further strengthening the judiciary and increasing the role of the courts in protecting human rights and the freedom of citizens. A new Criminal Code has been adopted. In 2011, the Department on Juvenile Justice was established in the Ministry of Justice. Tajikistan is drafting new bills on "Advocacy and legal aid", on "Prevention and protection from domestic violence", on the "Fight against organised crime" and a new Procedural Code on Administrative Offences.
The reform work underway in Tajikistan on the law of administrative procedure or proceedings had come to a standstill but is currently been revived.
The new programme of legal and judicial reform for 2014-2017 is currently been prepared by a working group chaired by the President of the Justice Council. The Rule of Law Platform will analyse the new programme and adapt its work plan for 2014 to the needs and priorities expressed by Tajikistan.
Rule of Law Platform work plan in Tajikistan
Tajikistan has expressed the need for support of its capacity-building efforts. Accordingly, the Rule of Law Platform will organise several training activities targeting judges and also policy-makers on issues pertaining to its judicial reform. These efforts will include support and capacity building in the drafting of laws, which will also be the subject of a training seminar.
The work plan includes a training session on administrative procedure and administrative process, in order to support the reactivation of these reform efforts.
Training sessions for judges and possibly for prosecutors and lawyers should provide guidance on interpreting certain provisions in the criminal code and criminal procedural code, and offering better protection to prevent abuses/torture (to expand judicial oversight over criminal investigation at pre-trial detention stage, to give courts the power to review the legality of arrests, right to counsel from the time of arrest, the burden of proof that a person should be kept in custody must rest with the prosecutor, review evidentiary rules, and other criminal procedural issues).
Because a large number of grass-root and internationally-funded initiatives already exist which focus on an array of rule of law issues, including human rights, the fight against torture, and other important subject-matters, the Platform will work with existing NGOs and insofar as possible, with initiatives financed by the EU and EU Member States.
Rule of Law Platform Stakeholders in Tajikistan
The Tajik stakeholders include the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Judicial Education Center under the Ministry of Justice, the Council of Justice of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Judicial Training Center under the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Supreme Economic Court of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Department on Citizen's Constitutional Rights of the President's Office, the National Center of Legislation under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Ombudsman for Human Rights of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli (Parliament) of the Republic of Tajikistan, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Tajikistan, the NGO "Independent Center for the Protection of Human Rights", the NGO "Human Rights Center", the NGO "Bureau of Human Rights and Rule of Law", the League of Women-Lawyers of Tajikistan, and the Law Faculty of the Tajik National University.

San Quentin's Dangerous Conversion Conditions
(ed. Originally published Feb. 28, 2012 – here!)
Every California male sentenced to time in prison must first be processed at one of two Reception Centers (RCs). In Northern California, they are sent to San Quentin (SQ); in Southern California, the California Institution for Men in Chino (CIM). Until 2011, the RC at San Quentin occupied four units: Donner, Badger, Alpine and Carson. Now, the majority of these units are undergoing "conversion" from RC units, which are designed to be temporary housing for all inmates, to Mainline units, where inmates serve the duration of their sentence. It appears that Donner and many other sections of RC have already been fully converted to Mainline units, now referred to exclusively as West Block.
This shuffling of mainline inmates into the unacceptable conditions of RC units, is an unintended consequence of the "criminal justice alignment" stipulations in Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109). AB 109 was an unprecedented attempt to shift state fiscal responsibilities to local counties, which passed amidst controversy in the summer of 2011. Amongst the tremendous consequences of this bill, which has at its core a humane intention to reduce revolving-door recidivism and prison over-population, there are a large number of inmates and employees of the state suffering direct physical consequence without media coverage or methods for redress in sight.
While in RC, inmates are audited, classified, and processed for their placement in a Mainline facility. RC inmates are disallowed many amenities that they will receive once they reach the Mainline. They spend twenty-three out of twenty-four hours per day in their shared 5 x 11 cell and may not go to the yard, library, edification programs, make or receive phone calls, or own any property. RC units were not meant for long-term habitation. The condition of the cells, quality of the food, and general cleanliness of San Quentin's RC are universally derided by inmates and workers due at least in part to the age of the building itself. It is a brutal stop on the way to a Mainline. Needless to say, inmates are almost eager to be sent from SQ's RC to their Mainline assignment.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 109 after the Supreme Court cited "serious constitutional violations" regarding overpopulation in California state prisons. AB 109 attempts to address overcrowding and recidivism by shifting as many as 30,000 inmates over the next three years from state prison facilities to county jails. It allows "non-violent, non-serious and non-sex-offenders to serve their time in county jails instead of state prisons" (SQ news). One intention is for overcrowded county jails to do what state prisons refused to: parole inmates and provide reintegration programs to get bodies out of the beds, since the county jails will have to deal with these people 'in their own backyard.' Thus, many of the people who would be going through RC on their way to state prison will instead be sentenced to serve time in the county in which their crime was committed, in a county jail.
With less people sent to state prison, SQ is staying in business by reducing its RC and aggressively increasing its mainline population. Under Gov. Brown's 'Realignment Plan," enacted under AB 109, SQ's already-overcrowded facility is further overwhelmed with buses filled with new arrivals prepared to serve out their entire sentences there. These people are placed in "converted" RC cells. Unfortunately, no significant conversion has actually taken place, due to a lack of state funding. Mainline inmates are forced to share RC cells. According to an inmate currently incarcerated in West Block, these are tiny spaces covered in graffiti, reeking of urine, growing black mold, with no functioning electrical outlets or heat, and standing water. Access to electrical outlets is a particularly vital amenity to inmates because many of them have no access to the outside save for their TV's, radios, and other appliances. These inmates have to go to the gym to shower (instead of their own hall) and most importantly, they have not been allowed to see their counselors for job assignments or education programs. There are reports of correctional officers (CO's) sending inmates to these converted cells as a punitive measure. San Quentin's official tours, led by Sgt. Gabriel Walters, now conspicuously avoid those areas of the prison.
There has been a shocking lack of mainstream media coverage on the consequences of AB 109, and the majority of the information presented here was obtained through SQ inmates themselves. However, the inmates aren't the only ones attempting to be heard. San Quentin Prison's labor union, the California Correctional Peace Officer's Association, (CCPOA-SQ) is outraged at the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation's (CDCR) reaction to AB 109, known as the 'Reduction and Conversion' plan. The state mandated reduction of staff at SQ means that many reception center-related jobs will be cut, while some jobs will be converted from RC to the mainline. The tentative date for these layoffs is January 2nd.
The conservatives have already coordinated their predictable response: a fear campaign claiming that releasing felons out onto "our" streets will result in chaos and crime infested neighborhoods. They understand that AB 109 threatens not only the convenience of sending the bad guys far far away, but will cost their counties money in rehabilitation and reintegration programs previously considered the sole responsibility of the state prisons. To date, there has been no mobilized counter-response on the left. This is due in part to the fact that AB 109 appears to be a well-intentioned attempt to remedy the obvious failure of the CDCR's practices. However, in order for it to be effective, we must expose its flaws, and the inhumane treatment of inmates at San Quentin is just one of them.

The University of Southern Indiana's Historic Southern Indiana and Indiana's Historic Pathways will sponsor a workshop for teachers, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. EST Tuesday, October 10 at the Dubois County Museum in Jasper. The workshop, "Getting from Here to There: The Story of the Buffalo Trace," is aimed at third- and fourth-grade teachers, but is open to anyone who would like to attend.
Participants will discover innovative ways to tell the story of community, early settlement and westward migration using Indiana's teaching standards. This year's workshop focuses on the impact of the Buffalo Trace, a pathway formed in the early 1700's as bison migrated to and from the Great Plains to the Falls of the Ohio.
Speakers include:
Registration is $25 and includes lunch and educational materials. Elementary schools along the Buffalo Trace have already been given a box of items representing the history of the Trace to use in hands-on lessons with their students and participants will receive a new item to add to their school's box.
Registration also can be completed online with course number HSI950 or by calling USI Outreach and Engagement at 812-464-1989. The deadline to register is September 30.
Historic Southern Indiana, a program within USI Outreach and Engagement, was created in 1986 to serve the southernmost 26 counties of Indiana. Its goals are to identify, preserve, protect, enhance and promote the historical, natural and recreational resources of the region. It seeks to implement those goals through programs in historic preservation, history education, heritage tourism, community development and scenic byways. For more information, contact Historic Southern Indiana at 800-489-4474, 812-465-7014 or email@example.com.

At the moment we still are bound to do that, but we do it via the XML PMC.

An official Cocoon project will have an official PMC which is what is legally reponsible for the code and reports directly to the board. The PMC officer becomes a vice-president of the ASF. In order to avoid stupid PMC elections, I'll be in favor of having the PMC composed by *all* committers that ask to be part of it. This to imply that committers and legal protector share the same duties and priviledges. In short, it means that if any of us screws legally, the foundation will protect us. Today, this is not the case. </quote> Now someone correct me if i am wrong. My interpretation is that, as committers, we are already responsible for stuff that gets committed to our repositories. When we committers join the new Forrest PMC, then we gain legal protection from the ASF. --David

Thomas Hood was English, but in his heart he was an Oregonian. His famous poem "November" bears re-reading two or three times a year. If you don't know it, here it is:
No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease.
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
Of course, if he was still alive today, he would probably get sucked into Nanowrimo, and he probably would have needed a few more lines. I suggest:
no movies - no board games -
no friends, no family, no social life in any form
no food or housekeeping that meets the social norm.
But that's just me. I did just put back a slice of pumpkin pie, a square of dark chocolate and a cup of coffee after spending a day hearing my child complain about how filthy our house is. (Note to DHS: I did run the dishwasher and wash both shower curtains today, so I no longer feel our home is a health hazard.)
After two days trapped in the house with a sick kid, I could easily run on for another page of digressions. I have cabin fever and I'm starved for grown-up interaction. Normally I'd just hang out with my handsome sweetie-pie, but he's hard at work, too. The basement is full of primed canvases awaiting his paint brush. So it sounds like I'd better just bite the bullet and get back to work. My imaginary pals and their adventures are almost the perfect substitute for a life!
Now if only I was writing about good weather ...

Allons-y! To the Whitstable Oyster Festival! This is the shuttle bus that took us straight to where the event took place. It was really convenient, because without this service, finding a parking space would surely have been a pain!

This is a glimpse of the gorgeous Kentish scenery. It is a beautiful place, and we were so lucky to be here with such glorious weather. There was a reason why we came here. Despite the fact that I believe Whitstable would be a lovely place to visit anyway, the day we were there happened to be on the day when the Oyster Festival was held. Lucky, lucky, lucky us!
Before getting into the festival itself, however, please remain patient and allow me to show you around Whitstable.

This was another spur of the moment decision. I was meeting a delegate from the University of Liverpool, to get to know our new officer in charge of the Taiwan market, and also to remind myself of the good old days in L'pool. It's always nice to meet someone from the Uni. I would never get tired of sharing my experience there with people.
I met up with the delegate at the hotel she was staying at. Unfortunately, I did not know the neighbourhood so well. And judging from our special dietary requirement, our choices were a little limited. But seeing that we both eat seafood, Japanese food seemed like a good choice. We saw the sign to this restaurant from across the street where we were standing, and decided to have our meal there.
I had left the office in a hurry the previous day, and did not realise until leaving that I had not brought home my camera with me. Thank goodness the camera on my phone takes rather decent pictures.

Standing across from the main entrance to St Augustine's Abbey, on a patch of land called Lady Wootton Green, are two statues of King Ethelbert and Queen Bertha. The unique thing about these two statues is the exquisite details of each and every part. From the upper and lower torsos, to the clothes and accessories on them, no detail went unnoticed. It's definitely worth taking some time to examine.
King Ethelbert was king of Kent from 580 or 590 until his death. He was the first king to convert to Christianity. The eighth century historian also referred to him as the third king to hold imperium over the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

I don't know when I started to have such an enormous appetite. Perhaps it was because knowing that after this trip, it would take an even longer wait for me to come to the UK again, and thus I forced myself into making the most of it - even my belly. I was hungry almost all the time. I wanted to eat everything I saw on the menu. But... I knew that was impossible. I still had to make a choice.
This restaurant looked very colourful. My friend and host said it was quite good. So we decided, or rather I decided, that we should have dinner there.

Canterbury is the only place, other than London and Liverpool, that I visited for a second time during this trip. There were a few reasons for this: 1. my friend was still living there at the time, and if I missed out on the opportunity to visit her this time, I didn't know when I would see her again (seeing that prior to our reunion a couple of years back, we had not seen each other for 14 years...) 2. it was such a lovely place, there was absolutely no reason not to visit! 3. my friend had suggested that we visit some surrounding towns, places that I did not get to see last time. So here I was again, in Canterbury. This time, with a slightly different mood. But pleasant, nonetheless.

I've passed by this place a couple of times before, and was waiting for a chance to try it. When I heard my friend was going to be in Taipei for the day, and we were sorting out where to have dinner together, I suggested this place. My friends agreed to try it out with me, so here we were.

How do I put into words how much I miss authentic Thai food? Most of the Thai food restaurants found here in Taiwan are a fusion between Yunnan, Burmese, and Thai style cuisine. It's been a while since I had Thai food of any kind, so I thought anything resembling Thai food would have to do. The reason why we decided to come here this time, was because the previous day, we were also at another Thai food restuarant, but because there were a couple of people in our group that could not take spicy food, almost the entire meal comprised of non-spicy Thai food. And if you enjoy Thai food enough, you'll know that no Thai food is Thai enough without its spicy taste.

CHIANG MAI – The timing of Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's return to Europe after a 24-year absence could have been better. She leaves her country amid turmoil in its western Rakhine State, where sectarian rioting has claimed scores of victims. The period of unrest has shed a rare light on the volatile tensions that have simmered for years between the country's dominant Buddhist population and its Muslim minority.

mmm Camembert de Normandie!! Enjoying this cheese makes me feel as if I have France running through my veins. I automatically start believing that French is my first language and have a strong desire for a beret and a glass of wine (how stereotypical of me). Sure, I have had other Camembert type cheeses but real Camembert is a cow's milk cheese that originates from it's birthplace: Normandy, France. Slightly pale yellow in color and soft on the verge of runny, Camembert de Normandie has a pearly appearance that you know upon first glance will coat your mouth with an elegant goodness. It has the luxurious mouth feel that you would expect it to have upon examination: silky, smooth, and soft followed by a rich earthy flavor.The flavor is almost that of a good REAL French Brie. A little bit of Camembert goes a long way. The flavor lingers a bit and makes your heart sing praises to France. I am in awe of this cheese. Grab a good glass of wine, some crusty sourdough baguette and Camembert de Normandie and you will find yourself in the ultimate bliss.
au revoir,

They have no solid reason to deny the grandparents he loves and knows as security but they have chosen to mismanage his case. He is falsely imprisoned in CPS custody! I have seen the documents and looked into the case and it is an outrage! He is suicidal and CPS is causing it and will NOT do right by this child! He is trapped!

WE NEED HELP! He was taken again yesterday! All they do is blow smoke over the damage they are causing him and shift him from place to place!

After another humiliating defeat at Old Trafford last night, real questions are being asked about the credentials of David Moyes, and rightly so. The 3-0 loss to City marked our 6th league defeat at home this year, and when you add the cup losses to Swansea and Sunderland, the fans have every right to show their discontent.
As some have pointed out, this is the same team (plus Fellaini, Mata and Januzaj) which walked the league last year, the same team which gave Real Madrid a real test, home and away, and the same team who lost just 5 league games the whole of last season. Moyes has already lost 10. Therefore the manager and his staff must be largely to blame for what's happening at United. Our decline has been public and embarrassing to watch and these are the reasons why, at the end of this season, many fans think
