song 2
jack and john. john and jack. two versions of the same name. two sides of the same coin. like minds, yet so different. and three makes a trend, so here we go...
the fables comic book's spin-off, jack of fables, is all about jack of the tales (aka jack horner, frost, o'lantern, and any mythical jack you can think of). the main characters in fables are all iconic story-folk (prince charming, snow white, paul bunyan, pinocchio, the three little pigs, etc.), who move through the "real" world as well as through the various homelands of story (european, chinese, american, and so on). in this context, jack is the original rogue-trickster -- he is jack of jack and the beanstalk fame, jack the giant-killer, and like that. blond and macho, jack is incredibly arrogant and full of himself, comically convinced that every woman wants him, and constantly swaggering about, boasting of (and grossly exaggerating) his past exploits and dreaming up crazy new schemes to make himself rich and get all the chicks. he's at once a bit of an overreaching fool and a slick operator, b/c, after all, jack is jack. the truth behind the myth, as the doctor said about that devil-being in "the satan pit." the quintessential irrepressible scoundrel, essential to any timeless tale.
jack is such a cheeky bastard that he sometimes breaks the key fable rule of not attracting too much attention in the "mundy" (i.e., "mundane" -- that is, normal) world. in jack of fables, he becomes a target of the mysterious mr. revise, who runs the golden boughs retirement community for fables. revise wants to wipe all magic from the world, so jack -- being an especially powerful fable (fables get their juice/longevity from being remembered and repeated) -- is ripe for capture and to be forced into obscurity.
at the golden boughs is a guy named wicked john. another full-of-himself dude with a ponytail and a perpetual smirk, who looks a LOT like jack, except john has black hair. after jack stages a breakout, john comes along, and jack finds the guy incredibly irritating. an arrogant, tricky dude. it bugs jack that everyone keeps saying he and wicked john have a connection. what could he have in common with this smug bastard? even if they DO look alike. jack finally confronts john, who reveals that he is a copy of jack, created by some story-making power or other the first time jack died while fighting a giant. (who knew jack would talk his way back from hell?) this kinda pisses jack off, but at least he can feel smugly superior, since he is the original. (indeed, he has even used "john" as an alias, like when he was briefly a movie mogul.) ahahaha -- no, he's not. john, it turns out, is the original fable. this actually ends up working in jack's favor, but he still has to live with the fact that he's a copy.
now, then. in lost, we have dr. jack shepard and mr. john locke (that's them above, crossing torches like swords). two guys who seem not at all alike. one has hair, the other has none. one is tattooed, the other is not. one wants to leave the island, one wants to stay on it. and don't forget all that "man of science, man of faith" jazz. in this case, it's hard to see jack as the trickster; here, john is more the rogue. (OTOH, neither one is above doing whatever it takes to get his way.) but, though opposites, they actually are quite similar. jack clings to facts and "reality" as stubbornly as john embraces mystery and fate. each is a hothead with a resolutely composed manner ... utterly convinced that his worldview is correct ... and determined not to let the other dominate him.
but alone, neither jack nor john can see the whole picture. both have good instincts, but sometimes their reactions to the things they accurately perceive are warped by their mindsets and life experiences ... which are also pretty damned divergent. but each in his own way has dealt with responsibility and betrayal, crisis and obsession. they seem to be at odds every step of the way. but they aren't as far apart as they think. b/c neither science nor faith alone is enough.
and, finally, with last night's U.S. premiere of torchwood season 2, we have captain jack harkness and captain john hart (the delicious james marsters, still somewhat channeling spike from his buffy days, british accent and all). john is a time agent, like jack was once upon a time. (this is news to the torchwood gang, but they're always the last to know. and, btw, john mentions that the agency has been shut down and there's only seven time agents left. WTF, russell davies, you really gonna make your faux time lord also be the last of HIS kind? sheesh. talking of copies .... .) jack is tall and john is tiny, but they are equally swaggering, ambisexual, wisecracking, and self-centered. always ready to fight or fuck -- quite alike, although john seems more psycho and callous. he's a reminder of jack's past, jack says, "and i want him gone." john certainly acts as though he and the good cap'n were once like two peas in a pod -- and not just b/c they spent two-weeks-that-seemed-like-five-years together (thanks to some sorta time wrinkle or other). actually, jack acts that way, too ... he's just a lot less comfortable with the memory.
yet, while they clearly have a past, do they really know each other? well ... they do seem quite familiar with each other's MO. it's almost as though they're both running variations on the same scam. when they meet again, each is obviously not quite certain of the other's current name/persona. when john first shows up, he only refers to jack as "you." (it makes a girl wonder just exactly WHAT this time agency is.)
jack plays it cool, of course, but there's a sense that he desperately wants to be rid of john. as much as john, clearly, desperately wants to hang around. by the end we're left with the impression that jack had another team, somewhere in time (i mean, three's a team, right?). and he bailed on them. john does tell gwen and the other torchies not to trust jack. (even a scoundrel tells the truth sometimes.) "once a con man, always a con man," says john.
indeed. wonder which one is the copy?

Lichens represent a symbiosis between photosynthetic green-algal and/or cyanobacterial partners and a heterotrophic fungal partner. Although lichens have successfully adapted for growth and survival in a wide range of environments, our understanding of their ecological role is often limited. Research at UNBC examines the contribution of lichens to ecosystem processes and the mechanisms they use to survive in extreme habitats. This work has been carried out across northern British Columbia and the Yukon. Recent studies include work on:
Temperate Rainforest Lichens – The wet coastal and inland mountain ranges in British Columbia support diverse canopy lichen communities. Our studies at UNBC have examined interactions between lichen community composition and forest canopy structure, including anthropogenic influences such as edge-effects and forest harvesting. This research has also examined factors which promote lichen biodiversity, for instance, considerations of site continuity within upper Fraser River watershed ancient cedar stands.
Lichens in Biological Soil Crusts – Lichens are a major component of biological soil crusts in grassland and alpine tundra ecosystems. Our research has examined the contribution of lichens to biological soil crusts, particularly the role of nitrogen-fixing cyanolichens.
Caribou forage lichens – Lichens represent a major seasonal forage source for both mountain and woodland caribou populations. Research at UNBC has quantified the abundance of forage lichens such as Alectoria sarmentosa and looked at factors influencing the retention of forage lichens. An important component of this research has been the examination of how alternative forest harvesting practices can be used to retain forage lichens in managed landscapes.

A portal is a unique website that often serves as the single point of access for information where data and settings can be controlled from. Essentially, a control centre. Depending on the quality of the portal, a portal can be a very efficient tool for any business if utilised correctly.
Tracking – For businesses that have an unawareness towards the amount of activity within the business, portals give users an opportunity to access several statistics and data files making it easy for tracking individuals. As for business owners, tracking data provides the user with a clear indication of which employees are being the most productive.
Control – Portals enable users to gain control. The ability to personalise allows the individual users to modify the portal for themselves. The ability to customise allows admin users to filter and edit information to target certain user groups. Having control is important because makes the portal personal and specific to the user themselves.
Simplicity – The way a portal can provide growth is in two ways. Firstly, growing the business. The portal can potentially help a business expand as they provide a platform for presenting a business. The second part is the portal itself. Portals can be edited meaning features and other areas can be improved upon by being updated.
Convenience – Portal can provide a high level of convenience . This is because a web portal can be accessed and logged into from almost anywhere at anytime providing there is an internet connection available.

The Ramones are an indisputable hallmark of rock n' roll. Though the group strummed its final chords decades ago, its spirit lives on, most recently through American Beauty, the new record by former bassist and vocalist CJ Ramone. I recently caught up with CJ to talk about the album, Tommy Ramone's underappreciated influence on the band, and CJ's favorite misheard Ramones lyric.
Let's dive straight into your new record, American Beauty. What do you want fans to know most about it?
Realistically, one of the things I want everyone to understand is that I had a much different album cover and title when we first started out. I'm not the type of person that likes to put my political stuff out there, but with the way things have been going since the election, I wanted to put something out there that was a little more positive. There are so many people putting gas on the fire right now. Believe me, I understand it. There are a lot of people who are really upset on both sides. I chose the title American Beauty to give everyone the opportunity to just take a breath for a couple minutes when they put the record on. That's really what I was hoping people would do. Not that the whole record is positive or that I think we live in a perfect utopian world, but you've got to get a break sometimes. You can't constantly be hammered with all of this stuff. What's going on right now is a lot of brainwashing. Every side is trying to convince you they are right and I don't buy into any of it. I've always been an independent thinker. To me, doing it your way and having your own thoughts and ideas is what being punk is all about. It's not about choosing a side. There's a lot of fun stuff on the album, some serious stuff, some autobiographical stuff – it's a mix of everything. In my opinion that's what life is. It's a mix of things. It's not always good, it's not always bad, and it's not always fair. That's just the way life is and I think my record reflects that.
Talk about the autobiographical stuff you just mentioned. What song specifically are you referring to?
"Moral of the Story" is a really personal one. It's about three guys I knew growing up that all died when they were pretty young. It sounds like a depressing tale, but it's really not. The song is about keeping your friends' memories alive by talking about them and remembering the good times. It's really to celebrate their lives.
"Tommy's Gone" is another one. That song I wrote for Tommy Ramone. I was just trying to imagine how he must have felt when he left the Ramones to have been pretty much written out of their history and never given credit for most of the work that he did. In reality, the Ramones are Tommy's creation. Tommy created the look, the sound, the image – he created it all. He even told the guys which instruments they were going to play. He's the guy that moved Joey from drums to being the frontman. I mean, in what weird universe does someone look at Joey Ramone and go "That's a frontman!" (laughs) He wasn't exceptionally good looking, he was tall and awkward and shy and very much not a frontman. But Tommy recognized something in Joey and it takes somebody with some special talent to do that. I wrote the song on a Dobro [guitar] completely by accident, but when I remembered Tommy had spent the last years of his life doing country-bluegrass music, it made sense to me that it would have happened that way. I just walked in the last day with the Dobro and said to the producer "Hey, do me a favor leave a room mic on and let me run this idea down." I kind of flip flopped with whether I'd put it on the record but I realized I had to. It was important to me to do it.
In another interview you said you "wrote this album in two weeks with some assistance from a never ending pot of coffee and a generous supply of whisky." What's your go-to whisky?
My everyday drink is Jack Daniels, but if I'm out drinking good stuff I usually stick to anything Irish – Paddy, Jameson, anything like that I usually stay with.
You're on the road a ton this year. How do you balance your life as a musician with being a father to three children?
I took a lot of years off after the Ramones retired and stayed home when my kids were young, so I got to spend a lot of time with them. Even with the amount of time I travel, I still probably see my kids more than the average dad. The average dad is up and out of the house before his kids get up for school. The amount of quality time I actually spend with my kids is pretty good. Plus, I've brought them out on the road with me. My kids have traveled with me to Europe and Japan and tours throughout the United States. I really make sure that I spend the time with them that I need to. It's important to me. I'm sure anybody in a band will tell you that the worst thing about being on the road – besides bad food and never getting to sleep and beating the hell out of your liver – is missing your family. That's the one thing that's the toughest out of all of it.
Have you ever pulled the Ramones card to your benefit? Like getting out of a traffic ticket or something?
(laughs) Well, to tell you the truth, I don't get any traffic tickets. I drive like an old man. But let me think. Actually, this is going back quite a while when the band was still together. I was out with a couple of friends in Manhattan and we were drunk and acting stupid. We stopped somewhere and jumped out to get cigarettes. On the way out the door we were messing around with each other and started running to our car. We went charging down the sidewalk and jumped in the car and my buddy took off hard – like really stomped the pedal and smoked the tires as we headed down the block. An unmarked police car cut in front of us and nailed us to the curb. Four cops got out, all with their guns drawn pointing at us and yelling. We all put our hands up and they opened up the doors and screamed for us to get out. They started questioning us and the cop asked me "What's your name?!" and I went "Hey listen, you know the band The Ramones?" and he went "Yeah" and I go "I'm the bass player" and he was like "So fucking what?!" They must have thought we robbed the place or something. As it turned out, they realized nothing was going on. Our driver wasn't drinking or anything like that, but we were messing around and were all dressed in leather jackets so we probably just looked like troublemakers. It was the one time I tried to use it but it really didn't' work.
At the final Ramones show in 1996, you were joined onstage by a ton of big names including Eddie Vedder, Tim Armstrong, Lemmy and Chris Cornell. If given the opportunity to join a band on stage for their final show today, what band would it be?
Black Sabbath just retired, so they're out. Let's see, that's a good question. I would definitely say Social Distortion. That'd be a big one. There are couple of artists like that that I'd like to have the opportunity with.
What is your favorite misheard Ramones lyric?
Oh man, that's a good one. Let me think here. In "Rock 'N Roll High School" I notice that a lot of people stumble over the line "Don't want to be taught to be no fool." A lot of people miss that line. Are the lyrics not on that record? I can't remember, but that's one I see people mess up a lot.
What your favorite rumor you've ever heard about the Ramones?
That we were all brothers. I still get asked about that to this day! You know what people tell me? They say "I'm really sorry to hear about all your brothers." The worst is – and this is really the worst because it's disrespectful in a way – I've gotten to do radio interviews where DJs have said to me "So tell us how your parents met?" They want to know how Mr. and Mrs. Ramone met.
Uh, awkward.
Oh my lord. I always laugh it off and just say "It's funny you should ask but here's the real story behind the Ramones' name" and then go into something like that. Talk about not doing your homework or just not having any knowledge about the band. (laughs)
Dee Dee aside, who are your favorite bass players of all time?
Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath is probably the guy who made me want to play bass. I was always a huge Sabbath fan. Steve Harris from Iron Maiden was an unbelievable bass player. Paul Simonon [of The Clash] was a great bass player. Of course, Dee Dee. Graham Maby, who played bass for Joe Jackson, wasn't just a great bass player, but I really loved his style. Who else did I really like? Those are probably the big ones. The guy who played with Elvis Costello was an animal too. It's funny, in that whole scene at that point, a lot of the rhythm sections were reggae influenced and the bass players and drum players were all really good, but the guitar players were more, like, you know, not bad, but more just rhythm players.
Your parting words?
Ramones forever! As far as my record goes, I know this is a really tough time period with everything going on in the country, and everyone is looking for a voice and for someone to speak up and be on their side, but the fact of the matter is that there is good in what's happening. There are a lot more people that are politically aware and people standing up for what they believe in. There hasn't been this many people involved in our political process in the history of our country. It's not that I don't appreciate what's going on, but someone has to put a little positivity out there and get you away from the chaos for a few minutes. American Beauty is a good record to do that with.

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change."
-Albert Einstein
Since I'm posting again, I thought I'd change up my blog, clean it up a little. It was getting old and I"m considering hiding my beginning posts because they're embarrassing but YOLO: I am lazy.
Please enjoy that picture of me eating a street dog on Bourbon St. during RDR. You're welcome. Shortly after the picture was taken, I dropped a glob of mustard-covered onions on my dress and licked it off because it's Bourbon and I have no shame.
I couldn't figure out how to make my blog description change colors, so I just deleted it and changed my blog's title for the first time since its inception; please tell me if you like it or not!
In other news, Kitty broke one of our bedroom windows Friday night. Who knew a twelve year old house cat could shatter glass? Well, there goes $150 plus tax to have it replaced. Yay.
At least I'm at a place in life where $150 is no sweat off my back.
I wish I had another hot dog right now.

I'm not here to harp on Dustin Pedroia's victory in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. In fact, we picked the diminutive one as the deserving candidate in a previous post. So while I commend the voters for not being swayed by things such as seemingly gaudy power numbers (Delmon Young) or name recognizition (Daisuke Matsuzaka), I do have to question how Jeremy Guthrie isn't even in the top-8.
The voting went as follows: 1) Pedroia 2) D .Young 3) Brian Bannister 4) Matsuzaka 5) Reggie Willits 6) Hideki Okajima 7) Josh Fields 8) Joakim Soria
You mean to tell me we couldn't find a spot for a pitcher who posted a 3.70 ERA with a 1.21 WHIP over 175+ innings? Do I need to mention that he had a 2.62 K/BB ratio? The only thing I can think of as to why his name was omitted was that the voters saw he only had seven wins. But that's not really his fault when he only received twelve decisions in 32 games pitched (26 starts).
In fact, in the months of May and June, the Oriole righty went through a stretch of ten starts during which he pitched 72 2/3 innings (that's over seven innings per start) and allowed only 14 earned runs (1.73 ERA). He got two wins to show for it. Sucks for him.
So where do I think he belongs on this list of also-rans? #2. Right behind Dustin Pedroia. Compared to Brian Bannister, Guthrie pitched more innings, had a lower ERA, same WHIP, with a far superior strikeout rate and K/BB ratio. The only area where Guthrie trailed? Wins. So naturally, Bannister is the #3 rookie and Guthrie's name in nowhere to be found.
And so it goes for year-end awards.

Forget Brainstorming
Brainstorming in a group became popular in 1953 with the publication of a business book, "Applied Imagination." But it's been proven not to work since 1958, when Yale researchers found that the technique actually reduced a team's creative output: the same number of people generate more and better ideas separately than together.
The Creativity Crisis
Back in 1958, Ted Schwarzrock was an 8-year-old third grader when he became one of the "Torrance kids," a group of nearly 400 Minneapolis children who completed a series of creativity tasks newly designed by professor E. Paul Torrance. Schwarzrock still vividly remembers the moment when a psychologist handed him a fire truck and asked, "How could you improve this toy to make it better and more fun to play with?"

Why Teens Care So Much About Clothes
"We place kids in schools together with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other kids typically from similar economic and cultural backgrounds.

We ask them all to take almost the exact same courses and do the exact same work and be graded relative to one another. We give them only a handful of ways in which they can meaningfully demonstrate their competencies. And then we're surprised they have some difficulty establishing a sense of their own individuality."The above quote comes from Joe Allen's compelling new book, Escaping the Endless Adolescence, and regular readers of our blog will recognize that the passage was also the basis for one of our most popular recent columns, on why teens are growing up so slowly today.

I've seen a slew of concerts over the first half of the year, but none of them stood up to the dynamic show that London's Wolf Gang delivered at The Social this weekend. This talented and energetic quintet is a band that we're going to be hearing a lot from in the years to come, and they blew away the Orlando crowd with a blazing sixty minute set.
While most of Orlando was at The Amway Center abusing their ears with thousands of screaming pre-teens at the One Direction show, a sage group of discerning Rock And Roll Animals saw some truly majestic rock 'n roll in the cozy club on Orange Avenue. If you were one of the many who chose the wrong venue on this evening, you really missed something special.
Max McElligott is the musical vision behind these young alt-rockers, having penned and performed all of the songs on the band's excellent debut album Suego Faults. He's also assembled a fantastic line-up of passionate musicians who have been touring extensively for about a year. Their set was predictable, with all but nine cuts off of the album, plus three other new songs. Suego Faults is really quite good, certainly one of the top ten of the year thus far. Surprisingly, the live performance actually exceeded those lofty standards.
They opened the set with a new track, "Into the Fire," one that featured McElligott on guitar that got the house rocking from the start. He switched over to keyboards for the next song, "Something Unusual" where we had our first taste of the band's amazing harmonies. He traded off between guitar and keyboards throughout the show and on quite a few songs, he left the playing to the remainder of the band and took center stage with just the mic.
McElligot voice is powerful and distinctive and his range broad. The uber-talented front man sounded near perfect and the backing harmonies from his band mates were spot on, matching the excellent vocals from the album. On stage, McElligott reeks of charisma and certainly offers a theatrical touch. At times I thought of Freddie, other times Bowie, most times…I thought I was seeing the next legend out of England.
Interacting with the crowd throughout, McElligott was comfortable on stage, from his opening "Welcome to the wonderful people of the Social Bar" to sharing the London lads' rough initial taste of our searing Florida sun. I was impressed by the energy of the band at the relatively small Social, immediately after wrapping up a huge arena tour with Coldplay, yet they seemed to thrive in the more intimate club.
The band members were tight and cohesive throughout the evening, and they all switched off between instruments, as well. James Woods on bass was a non-stop whirling dervish and powered the band through a rollicking version of Stay & Defend. Lasse Petersen on drums was the band's backbone all night, and absolutely shined on another new cut, "The Kill."
We had a chance to witness the group's softer side on both "Promises" and the spectacular "Suego Faults" which featured three keyboards, highlighted by McElligott and Jamie Jones, and some of the best vocals/harmonies of the night. McElligott had the crowd in the palms of his hands, expertly adjusting the flow and timbre of the show throughout.
The entire band seemed energized during "Dancing With the Devil" which featured a nice solo from Gavin Slater, before slowing things down with a nice love song, "Midnight Dancers." From there, the band wrapped up the show with their two biggest singles to date, "The King and All His Men" and "Lions in Cages" closing out a great set, raising the energy level to a fever pitch and sending the crowd home convinced they had seen something special.
Random Ramblings:
- Charlotte's Flagship offered a nice opening set in their first trip to Orlando, highlighted by their drummer, Mike Finster, who tore it up the entire set, despite playing on a borrowed drum kit! They've got a unique sound and are definitely worth a trip to check out next time they are in town.
- Wolf Gang's drummer, Lasse Petersen is apparently an excellent cook, with a fondness for duck, and actually cooked at Hard Rock Hotel this week.
- All five members of Wolf Gang hung around after the show and got to know their fans; they really seemed to care about meeting everyone, asking names, chatting, and listening! It was refreshing to see.
- Wolf Gang is looking to come back to Orlando this fall, so keep your eyes peeled to RARA's Farm for the show announcement, and next time, don't let some teeny-bopper boy band deter you from their excellent show.

Hotels aren't the only option when it comes to your visit to Rome. You can also choose to rent an apartment on a short term basis, spending less and getting more out of your stay. However, if you don't know what you're doing or don't work with the right agency, renting an apartment in Rome could be a headache. There are a few basic assumptions that will be made in Italy that might not be true in your home country.
Here are a few tips to help you rent apartments from local agencies and still get what you want. Learning about assumptions locals will make will help you avoid confusion, and make the whole process less stressful for you and your potential landlords.
First, remember that unlike vacation apartments in many countries, these are likely to be more like a standard apartment or condo. That means that while they're furnished and linens are provided, you won't get hotel-style service unless you ask (and pay) for it, and your refrigerator and pantry probably won't be stocked.
Another thing to pay attention to is the fact that the amenities and services listed for the apartment are the ones you'll likely be getting. That means that if you don't see air conditioning listed in the description for the apartment you're interested in renting, it's probably not included.
Remember that you may be required to show your passport to the rental agency. This is not to question your identity, but is because travelers in Italy are required to carry their passports at all times – your rental agency just wants to make sure you have yours with you.
Beds may be of different sizes than you're accustomed to, as well. Italian twin beds are narrower and longer than those in Australia, the UK, and the US.
Double beds are also longer, but are a bit wider than in any of those countries, and queen beds are also a few inches wider. You'll find a king sized bed isn't as large as you expect, however – it's about the same as two twin beds side by side.
It's also a good idea to remember that the pipes under most Italian streets are much narrower and older than those in most other parts of the world. That means that you'll have lower water pressure and may need to husband your hot water.
Italian cities, including Rome, also have narrow streets that date back to their early days in the ancient period. These streets mean that you may hear more echoes and other noises than you'd expect – this is normal, and you should be ready for it.
Of course, dealing with a good rental agency that understands your needs and what you're accustomed to can help a lot. Look for one that provides staff with a good knowledge of English to assist you.
Good local rental agencies will also be aware of what travelers from Australia, North America and the UK are used to when it comes to accommodations, and they'll be willing to help you find it and to try to avoid misunderstandings. However, if you've taken the time to educate yourself in advance, the process will be much easier for everyone.
Renting apartments for your vacation in Rome is a smart idea that'll give you a lot more space, freedom, and savings than a hotel. Just know what to expect, and you'll be sure to have a great time on your trip.

In the fitness industry, we hear two common reasons for people not working out: not enough time and not enough support. (Of course, money, lack of access to trainers or gyms, fear of failure, and anxiety over body image are also factors.)
I get it. I'm a busy mom working several jobs, and sometimes just getting out of bed seems like a workout! But I never forget the effect that fitness has on my energy level: it makes me a better parent, wife, friend, employee, and personal trainer, so I try not to let even a day go by without a little bit of activity.
And truly, it's amazing how easy it can be to fit it in when you stop thinking about the "work" part of a workout, and you start looking for ways to have fun and get fit at the same time.
A great example: head to the playground with your kids.
Playground Workouts for Busy Parents
Each station or play area represents a new opportunity to flex your muscles. You'll sweat, the kids will have a blast playing with you, and when you go home, you'll be so happy you made it happen!

On Hold
If the third option actualizes, we could be in for the long haul. As he would be working on his parenting plan, we would have to bring Little Miss for weekly visits (up to three per week).
Sweet Boy's case will be on pause until Little Miss' has resolution, in the event that both siblings require adoption in the end; the state wants them to stay together.
I let all of this news ruin my day, when I received it last Wednesday...but I've since chosen to put it out of my mind. I can't control the process or the outcome; there's no sense in worrying about what could happen.
We believe the end result will be the same. Sweet Boy and Little Miss will become permanent members of our family. The unknown is how long we'll have to wait and how difficult the disruptions will be for our babies that already have fragile emotions.
Dealing with the flaws of the system is infuriating when you're the one living in the mud, doing your best to love these babies through the slow process of healing. More than anything, Sweet Boy needs assurance that he's not going anywhere. Forever needs definition. I hate that his case could be on hold for up to a year, on the outside chance that someone who has never interacted with his sister, decides he wants to be a father.
I am not against birth father rights, but in this case, Little Miss' dad is with her birth mom. He cannot claim ignorance of her existence and, in fact, has had multiple conversations with the case worker on what he needed to do to gain custody. It's not fair to either of my kids that the birth father is offered a chance to parent, nearly a year after his daughter's birth.
Apart from being forced into a relationship with a stranger, Little Miss will be oblivious to the process. Sweet Boy is the one who will suffer. It's frustrating.
All we can do is wait, patiently...and hopefully...for good news.
To be honest, our days are too busy to do much else!

Praying for option one or two to become reality!!ReplyDelete
You and your husband remind me of this song so so much! Praying for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hi-VMxT6fc&feature=kpReplyDelete
Oh, my heart goes out to you. I wish there were more foster parents like you in the country! Stay patient. What you're doing really matters. It's making a difference. We had a foster boy at 5weeks - 6 months and my fears were so great (like yours but worse) that we found another foster family to take him because I couldn't cope with the possibility of him returning to a mother who never visited and had five other children. The "other" foster family lived in our same city and stayed in touch with us and ended up adopting our little guy. Long story, but a great one. Christopher is married now with his own son and doing well. You are making a difference. Stay focused on today and bringing joy as you do. Hugs.ReplyDelete

I'll be praying, we're 20 months into an excrutiating case that breaks my heart for these babies. We have the ability to cope, they do not. I love your heart and have loved reading your story as we live out ours, gleaning hope and reminding myself of what an awesome God we serve when it feels like I can go on no more.ReplyDelete

I'm Josh. A husband. A father of two great boys. I love to cook, eat, workout, and spend time with my family. I want to help make Americans healthy again so I'm sharing my story, my recipes, my workouts, and my life with you.
I will be posting my weekly meal preparation here as well as my meal plans for the week. I keep my meal preparations simple and easy to portion so there's no guess work involved. I like to think they're tasty as well.
My meal plans are how I portion everything for my meals for the week. Unless we (you and I) are in close to the same place physically i do not suggest you portion the same. What works for me will mostly like not work for you.
Meal plans are very precise things that should be set up for an individual based on goals, needs, dietary restrictions, physical activity, life schedule and more. I can give you some great resources on this and will be setting up a way to create these with you...for a fee of course...but that's coming later.
I'm not going to be breaking any amazing new news or telling you something ground breaking. I will simply be giving you mechanisms to live a healthier life through nutrition and fitness. I will be sharing links to websites I find useful and sharing my meal preps, meal plans, and workouts. I hope you want to join me on my journey and maybe become a little healthier yourself!
Sign up to get my meal preps, interesting and helpful information, and just my general thoughts on things.

S960134NU Thermostatic Cartridge Issues and Solutions
The Ideal Standard / Trevi S960134NU thermostatic cartridge is used in a number of different shower valves which were made post 1997. The brass construction of the cartridge is prone to limescale buildup, therefore the cartridge can and will deteriorate over time. If you live in a hard water area the cartridge will fail sooner than if you lived in a soft water area.
As always, to extend the life-cycle of a thermostatic cartridge we at Di Vapor® recommend customers install a water softener of some sorts to reduce the calcium lime that enters the valve. If you need to replace the cartridge you can buy one here:
So what are the issues you'd expect to find in a shower valve that has one of these faulty S960134NU cartridges? Below are a list of the issues:
- Your shower will not regulate temperature correctly. This can come in a number of different ways. You mayexperience spiking or fluctuating water temperatures where one second the water is luke warm, the next scolding hot, the next cold. This is most definitely a tell tale sign of a cartridge which is on its last legs. The cartridge can also become seized up on the inside which will mean that it not even change the temperature of the water. In this scenario you'll only get one temperature out of the valve, at which ever point the cartridge has seized up.
- Leaking: The cartridge may need replacing if water is leaking from around where the thermostatic cartridge is installed into the shower mixer valve. This is due to a deterioration of the cartridge.
- Water temperature not changing fast enough. When you turn the temperature knob on your shower the water should change temperature within a couple of seconds (if it is receiving a steady flow of hot and cold water). If the temperature of the water takes longer than this then the thermostatic element in the shower cartridge is struggling to adjust the cartridge.
In all of the above scenarios, should your shower be receiving a balanced feed of hot and cold water then the solution is to replace the thermostatic cartridge. If you need a S960134NU, you can buy one here.

500 gr peeled sweet potato
50 gr tapioca flour + more if necessary
1 cup brown sugar + 2 liter water + 2 pandan leaves
1 can coconut milk + 1/3 cup water + a pinch of salt
Peel, cut, and steam sweet potato until soft.
Meanwhile, heat up coconut milk, water, and salt in a sauce pan. Keep stirring the coconut milk until it's steaming but not boiling.
Remove from heat and let cool.
When the potato is done, mash until smooth and let sit until no longer steaming.
Add tapioca flour gradually, mix well. Add more flour as necessary if the batter is too wet and sticky.
The right consistency is when you make little balls they won't stick too much on your hands.
Prepare a bigger pot, add water, brown sugar, and pandan leaf, let it boil.
Drop the sweet potato dumpling into the boiling syrup. Do not make the balls too big, it will expand.
Repeat until finish.
Ready to be served :)

it doesn't even feel like i slept on the floor that many nights, or was attacked by hugh puppy that many days either. it was a great little get away, and it was awful to leave when friday rolled around again and it was time to get back on that plane and go home to california. here's a little recap of each day, as told by the photos on my phone.
cute little movie. we also played uno roboto that evening, which was an entertaining "enhanced" version of uno.
we consoled ourselves with crafting, got lorelai from the bus and stopped at joann's to get some fusible fleece for me, and a hexagon punch for lisa. she's restarted working on a grandmother's flower garden quilt and as it turns out, this punch is the perfect size. we picked brett up from work, and then did some grocery shopping. hard core grocery shopping at king soopers. weird name for a grocery store.
crafting commenced. i drew out some circles for my challenge 4 project, just to ensure i would have enough of that fat quarter.
despite the early roaring wake ups from kidlets followed by hugh puppy attacks, it was a pretty fantastic trip.
also despite the lack of baby that was SUPPOSED to be there...
and it turns out the inducing didn't work... lisa was sent home last night after all attempts failed.
clearly, she's got a super stubborn baby on her hands.
and clearly, i have to figure out another time to hang out in colorado with some of my favorite cousin peeps.
spring break, perhaps? i guess we'll have to see.

Our community's leadership is committed to providing quality Christian Education for all ages, space for vital conversation, an engaging and growing worship experience, service opportunities that are relevant and socially aware, and an open facility that is a true community gathering place.

- Adopted from the the Salem Covenant of 1629
Our Heritage & The Congregational Way
Organized in 1860 with sixteen charter members, First Congregational Church was the first house of worship erected in Saugatuck. Throughout the years, the one-room structure underwent many changes to adapt to the growing needs of the community, but the original building still stands under the brick of the present chapel and classrooms. Our Meeting House on the hill, long known for its warm Christian fellowship, and continues to hold its doors open to all as we seek the God.
We have been in joyful partnership with the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches, since 1959. The NACCC is a fellowship of autonomous member churches that celebrate the value of mutual support and sharing of resources to accomplish goals beyond what the local church alone can accomplish. We are a part of a community of church that span from Alaska to Florida and are in partnership with missionaries from India, Mexico, Uganda and beyond. Together we seek to fulfill the teachings of Christ and his church- to clothe the naked, to visit the lonely, to feed the hungry, to education the isolated, and to proclaim freedom for the oppressed and marginalized.

When Adam finished naming all the animals, he was so tired, he fell asleep. That must have been a lot of work. God looked at Adam and said "It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper for him". So God made sure that Adam was in a very deep sleep. God opened up Adam's side and took out one of Adam's ribs. From that rib, God created a woman.When God made Adam, He scooped up some dirt and formed him. Then God breathed into Adam's nose and he came to life! Imagine if you made something out of clay and breathed on it and it came alive. God is so amazing!! But when God made Eve, He used Adam's rib.
I wonder if God was excited to give Adam such a special gift. God probably smiled as he waited for Adam to open his eyes. Did you ever tell someone to close their eyes and then had a surprise for them when they opened their eyes? Here is something fun to do. On a piece of paper , draw a heart and write I love you in the heart like this.
If you can't spell or write yet, just make a heart.Tell your mom or dad or grandparent to close their eyes. Then , with some Scotch tape, tape it to the front of your shirt. Tell them to count to 5 and open their eyes.
Did you feel that joy and excitement while they were counting? That's probably how God felt while he was waiting for Adam to open his eyes. God loved Adam and that's why He gave him Eve. God loves us, that's why He gave us Jesus. In the book of John, in the new testament of the Bible, it says that God loved us so much that He gave us His only son, Jesus.(John 3:16) The Bible also says that every good and perfect gift comes from God.(James1:17) So that means that everything we have, is because God gave it to us. What is your favorite thing in the whole wide world? God gave it to you! God wants us to be like Him. He wants us to give to others. We have a lot of things to give like we can give someone some help. We can give someone love. we can give someone some nice words. When we give, we are doing something that God does.
Here is a fun page for you. It is a coloring page of Adam and Eve. But there are 10 hidden animals in the leaves. Can you find them?
Here is a list of animals to help you. 1.elephant 2.fox 3.butterfly 4.snake 5.giraffe 6.cat 7.mouse 8.cow 9.pig 10.owl

The measure is intended to ban applications on Facebook that force members to invite friends as a condition of use. "This generates a bad experience for both application users and their friends who receive unwanted invitations," wrote Paul Jeffries, manager of platform operations and developer support at Facebook, in a blog post Wednesday on the site.
When presented with an application invite, users can now choose a "Block Application" option within the request to stop getting spammed. Facebook has also warned developers not to create apps that trap users in endless "Invite Your Friends" loops. Applications must now also give advanced notice if they require inviting friends to get information or access content.
In his post, Jeffries acknowledged the e-mails, Facebook groups and even "a scheduled protest event devoted to the issue."

This is the ideal type of property for a growing Lebanese family.
A floor per generation and a shared terrace for fresh air and hanging out the laundry. Everyone within shouting distance, free childcare from the older generations downstairs, help around the home from the two upper flats, and entertainment from the youngest additions.
Of course some of these small blocks of flats are occupied by unrelated owners. But even in the most modern buildings in town, you will find generations stacked on top of each other. Proximity and practicality take a natural precedence over privacy.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is coming to Seattle to hawk her new memoir, titled "A Fighting Chance," and appear May 29 as marquee guest at Sen. Patty Murray's annual Golden Tennis Shoes Awards lunch and fund-raiser.
A trenchant critic of Wall Street excess, Warren is running distant second to Hillary Clinton, and usually ahead of Vice President Joe Biden, when pollsters ask which candidate Democrats prefer as their 2016 presidential nominee.
As a member of the Senate Democratic leadership, Murray doesn't need to put her foot down to get speakers for Golden Tennis Shoes. In recent years, she has welcomed top Obama adviser David Axelrod, Jill Biden, and Vicki (Mrs. Edward) Kennedy.
Hillary Clinton was the featured speaker one year when a mild earthquake shook the banquet hall just before lunch. A joke instantly traveled the room, namely that "the earth moved" was usually a phrase associated with Clinton's husband.
Warren is due out with "A Fighting Chance" next week, and the Boston Globe has already printed some juicy tidbits.
President Obama told Warren that he could not appoint her to head the federal consumer protection agency she crafted because the Harvard Law professor made Wall Street's financial community "very nerous."
On another occasion, ex-Harvard president, Treasury Secretary and chief Obama economic adviser Larry Summers lectured Warren on how to be a Washington, D.C. "insider," telling her: "But insiders understand an unbreakable rule. They don't criticize other insiders."
Warren broke the rule, and in 2012 was elected U.S. senator from Massachusetts.
Warren is also slated to speak at University Temple United Methodist Church during her Seattle stop.

Option 1: "Why is it important to work to delete cyberbullying?"
Option 2: "How has cyberbullying personally affected you?"
My entry is below. Fastweb is located at http://www.fastweb.com. The deadline for entries is June 30, 2012
I was in the middle of the situation when it started. Here's what occurred: I, Kimberly Koerber-Bauer-Koerber was Bauer at the time and filed for divorce based on abuse and having cars set on fire and assorted other things like my ex-husband getting goon accomplices to harass me, and physical and mental abuse. I was the recipient of a Bachelor's degree from Ohio State University in the area of Social Work with four internships completed to get involved in the projected National hub based project. A government crisis or emergency was called. Cyber bullying occurred because of 1. Racism 2. Generalized abuse by people who were not educated to be involved in the government/police/auditory intelligence mode but were just plain ignorant factory workers looking to abuse the government and become "Big Shots" or Gangsters. They were pulled into this computer mode based on being employed and protected at the time but were not educated or trained. Crooks decided to racketeer people in this mode who were attending AA Meetings and then amass large money banks to run for political office and become wealthy – like Sarah Palin. - but it did not work because they, the cyber bullies, were not educated and refused to look at International crime or terrorism issues, which got worse by racketeering or removing large groups of people who were grouped together to be part of the government or some company. In addition to this, crooks are still online in the auditory mode telling people they do not like that they are crazy, or deranged, or impaired and are 'supposed to be removed' to win. The victims are supposed to go on 'Disability' so that their names can be used by others in the cartel. This was not the first Government shutdown. What crooks won before was the opportunity to degrade and abuse the 'police side of the fence' and increase the cocaine and other organized crime cartel in addition to making some of the foreign groups angry. I recently applied to The Ohio State University to get my Masters in Public Administration with an emphasis or specialty area in Criminology so I know a great deal about this subject including why it occurred and why it is still occurring. I also initiated and named a development project called "The Indigo Drum" which the crooks grabbed after they trespassed and broke into my house to rob me. Since I was living in my ex-husband's hometown of Wooster, Ohio when this occurred (Bauer- as in the Bauer conglomerate) the crooks there were supposed to cause this major disruption to help him. The projected project to fix the problem was stolen and the crooks established paperwork to get the project online as a drug front business called "The Indigo Drum" in several fragments. The Federal Government and The Anheiser /General George Busch Family have been contacted along with states other than Ohio in an effort to stop the abuse. The Indigo Drum Project would have hired people to work who could monitor this US Security Intelligence network and the problems around it, but crooks stole the original development funds that were supposed to be used to start up the project. Bank embezzlers and other were involved in this 'shutdown'.

LA based photographer Ryan Schude knows how to tell a full story with just his lens. His elaborately structured photographs form a world all their own. Sometimes crass, sometimes out of control, his work hearkens to that complex visual zone inhabited by artists like fellow photographer Gregory Crewdson, director Wes Anderson, and we should probably mention David Lynch as well, just to cover the bases. Dense with intricate details, diverse characters, and everything somehow happening all at once, Schude's photographs never look the same twice.
There is a story being told, and the image comes off as that of a film still; yet we are seeing a flash of an in between, we are neither here nor there but just in the middle enough to not be able to articulate what is going or why. Schude exhibits a playfulness within his settings that keep the scenes fun and adventurous, but many have that same alienated, nearly possessed, quality that Crewdson was so good at nailing. And that defiant divorce of logic within narrative that Lynch also adores employing in his films. Although everything looks the same as it would in the real world, the laws of the universe are clearly different within the realm of the photographed subjects, and that is what makes them so intriguing.
See Ryan's work next month at bG Gallery in Los Angeles, CA.

The idea to set up an investment company for the development of feasible commerical projects in Sierra Leone and the Subregion was born following the recent investment conference in Freetown in March 2006.
It was shown on the Diaspora-Forum that many Sierra Leoneans in foreign countries are strongly supporting their families at home; but this has only a small influence on the economic development of the country. We believe there is dire need to channel a part of this money and additional investment through a professional body for real investment in projects and companies in the country.
A study done by the Diaspora-Organisation showed that approx. 80% of the Sierra-Leoneans is the Diaspora are willing to invest between 50 to 100 US$ monthly to support investments in Sierra Leone. With approx. 1 Mio. Sierra Leoneans abroad we can raise a significant amount that will allow the company ease to enter into additional loans from international banks to get capital for many projects.
With the assistance of international experts and after some project evaluation we are able to invest in feasible and profitable projects in the country for the benefit of the people and the investors.

Buying a BlackBerry Storm
A few months ago, I bought a BlackBerry Storm1 from Verizon when they were buy one, get one free. My Mom was eligible for an upgrade, but I wasn't, so we were going to upgrade her phone then pay the termination fee, and open a new line for my BlackBerry Storm, because I broke my LG Chocolate, so I had to buy a new phone anyway. Well, eventually they tried to lie by telling us that I wasn't allowed to go that route, but they had already upgraded my mom in their system or something like that, so she was required to pay $200 for a phone that she wouldn't even use. Eventually, after talking to a manager, etc., we got it upgraded just like we wanted.

Too good to be true - Will the apprenticeship bubble burst?
It never ceases to amaze me that more people do not take up apprenticeships. Part of the issue is that younger students view an apprenticeship as a university degree's poor cousin and believe that employers prefer degrees. Also many employers don't fully understand the benefits involved not just financial but also in terms of getting an employee and moulding them to work the way they want.
However with University fees on the up more students are slowly coming round to the idea that apprenticeships are a good thing. Also according to a recent survey from CITB construction skills of 300 employers, most felt that felt apprenticeships better prepared and educated candidates than degrees and in fact the apprenticeship was far a more preferable option.
Following the IT boom in the 90's and early 2000's a skills gap was left in blue collar trades. Those already working in the manual trades have enjoyed increasing wages plus the benefits of not being tied down to a desk all day. As more and more people realise this apprenticeships in manual trades are becoming ever more popular.
Financially the current situation is exceptional. An apprentice will receive:
A regular salary
Free fully funded training
Actual work experience whilst they train
A much greater chance of gaining full employment at the end of a 3-4 year period
Compared to a University student who is now likely to walk out of Uni with up to £30,000 worth of debt this looks very very appealing.
With the current climate of spending cuts I predict it won't be too long before someone takes a look at this and realises it is almost too good to be true and wields the axe to much of the apprenticeship funding.
There is a major shakeup coming next year in 2013 when the student loans system is going to expand the range of qualifications it covers to include many vocational courses. This will open up a range of courses such as the City & Guilds 2365 and many more to be paid for by a student loan which can be paid back once the candidate finds employment. This is great news for mature students but is this a precursor to moving the apprenticeship funding further towards a loans system?
For now we are a long way off the bubble bursting especially as the government is committed to expanding and improving the apprenticeship programme. However as the numbers of apprenticeships grow year on year there will come a time when heads will turn and all eyes will be on the apprenticeship programme and it's increased funding.
Unfortunately although the current status quo seems very favourable there is still one major stumbling block holding the apprenticeship scheme back. Not enough employers are willing to take on an apprentice and for every apprenticeship place out there often there are 80+ applicants! Part of the reason for this is that the majority of people working in the construction industry are micro business of just 1-5 staff who do not think they could take on an apprentice.
We need to raise awareness with these people and ensure that they fully understand the benefits including the £1500 golden handshake for taking someone on. Here at Trade Skills 4U we are working on promoting this to all in the centre and amongst all of our partners. If you know anyone interested in an electrical apprenticeship please call 01293 529777.
We welcome your thoughts and comments on this topic. Am I being pessimistic or realistic?

Imagine yourself lounging beachside at sunset, sand beneath your toes, cold, fruity drink with "rum" in your hand and your friends by your side. There's almost no better casual wear than slightly structured, yet delicate, free flowing cotton chambray. Brothers Osborne, Country Music's #CMchat Monday night (4/6) Twitterview guests, are this week's inspiration for #FashionFriday!
Dark denim chambray is a beautiful companion to the trendy spring pastels like mint and peach. Keep it unbuttoned for a casual, beachy look, or loosely tuck in the front for a more polished style. I I like this Chambray Shirt from Old Navy, $24.94.
One important rule to follow when pairing chambray with denim is to never match the top with a color too close to the color of your jeans. Always pair a light colored chambray with dark jeans or vice versa. When in doubt, khaki shorts make a great alternative to jeans and pair well with dark or light chambray. JCREW Factory has a perfect option, Chambray Workshirt $31.99.
Need styling help or want to share your tips or pictures of how you wear chambray? Tweet me @TieraBolt.
We hope you'll join us with Brother's Osborne for a Country Music's #CMchat Twitterview Monday night, 4/6 at 6pPT/9pET!

Leather is the traditional gift for a three-year anniversary. But you don't have to go shopping at Exxxotica's fetishwear stalls to give GAB Studio owner and artist Bridges Aderhold what he wants for his gallery's celebration of three years in business.
All he wants is for you to party with him this Saturday.
The art space is holding an all-day party May 19, complete with music, food trucks, happy hour specials, and booze on sale for charity. Aderhold told us this party isn't just about GAB Studio -- it's about the success of Wynwood as a whole.
Cultist: Happy three years! How has GAB Studio changed in the time it's been open?
Aderhold: It's changed from the original Locust Projects buiding. From what I've seen, the change of the building, and the change of the neighborhood, has been incredible. Crime rates are down, more businesses are moving in here. There's definitely a change in Miami on the fact of having more culture, y'know?
So this celebration is about more than just your own gallery.
It's not just me. It's everything going on here. It's a lot about the people involved with it, and all the artists who've been through here, people who've commented on the place, changed the place, held an event here, even just been through the gallery -- it's been amazing. To see a change of people, and also see the same people keep coming back, is really fun.
Tell me about Sunshine Jones, who's headlining your party.
Sunshine Jones was in a group called Dubtribe Sound System. Dubtribe is a group that was big; they do dubstep, but really soulful. They sing as well as use different electronic instruments. They were big in the late '90s, and they just put out a new album.

I saw the Gastropod food truck will be there, too. Someone told me you guys are brothers...?
Ha, no. Somehow people think we're brothers. My mom's even like, "Who are you?" But we're good friends. I met him through the gallery.
What else can people expect on Saturday?
We have three local bands -- Tamboka, The State Of, and Cog Nomen. They're very different bands with different rhythms. There'll be a full liquor bar that night with proceeds going to oceanfund.org. It's an organization ... that creates sculptures, and then they're put in the water to save our reefs. So it's artificial reefs through art. From 4 to 6 p.m. we'll have a happy hour where there'll be $2 PBR and two-for-one drinks. Cog Nomen will go on at 8 p.m., then Tamboca and The State Of. And my brother, who they call DJ Captain Rediculous, will open for Sunshine Jones. It'll be good music, good people, a family event.
GAB Studio's three-year anniversary party kicks off at 4 p.m. Saturday, May 19. Admission is free. Visit gabstudio.com.

I'm a few episodes ahead of my reviews at the moment, and I was briefly excited to write this one thinking it was the next episode. That's right, I completely forgot that this episode existed, which may go to show right away what I thought about it. You'd think it would be more memorable, as this episode introduces one of the new halves of Firestorm — Jefferson Jackson, played by Franz Drameh. The story sees the Flash Team trying to track down a suitable counterpart to merge with Dr. Stein, who will die otherwise.
It feels like a bit of a throwaway episode. The singularities that have appeared in Star City barely come into play here, and without checking, I'm struggling to think of any influence either Jay Garret or Zoom have over the events of the episode. It feels like an episode written to be able to take place at any point in the season. Perhaps it had — Firestorm will after all be appearing in the Legends of Tomorrow series, a new superhero team-up spin-off that will begin airing in January. They had to throw Firestorm back together somehow after writing out Robbie Amell's character.
One of the best things about the episode is that they don't forget about Caitlyn's relationship to Firestorm. At times she acts in a bit of a frustrating way throughout the episode, but it feels like it makes sense given the things she's gone through in the show so far. She's had to deal with an emotional rollercoaster. Sometimes it feels like Caitlyn doesn't get quite as much focus as the other characters, but it's always nice when she gets to show some depth and there definitely is some here.
Demore Barnes is also in this as the antagonist, and he puts in a good if somewhat hammy performance. You might remember him from playing the menacing and collected Tobias in the Hannibal TV series, which was a better role.
While there are good moments too much here feels like a bit of a washout for me to like it too much. You know it might be a bit of a problem when the last 30 seconds or so of the episode is way more interesting and exciting than the whole episode that preceded it.

Whether one calls it driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), or any other name, drunk-driving is a serious offense in all US states, with some states exacting harsher punishments (compared to others states) on offenders.
The gravity of offense has also led to both nationwide and statewide campaigns and programs which, in turn, have spurred law enforcement authorities to aggressively pursue and prosecute anyone committing any type of alcohol-related offenses.
Hpwever, as pointed out on the website of the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter, this aggressiveness, has sometimes resulted in "wrongful arrests, mishandled cases, and a variety of other problems and mistakes" which have greatly affected those accused, jeopardizing their rights and freedom.
Both federal and state authorities have never failed in pointing out the dangers of drunk driving: how this reckless behavior places in great risk of a serious accident the drunk driver himself/herself and, more so, all other motorists and pedestrians who share the road with him/her.
Being a serious traffic law violation, those convicted of the crime are, therefore, punished heavily thru costly fines, a jail term, suspension of driving privileges, compulsory participation in an alcohol and drug education class (or DUI School) and community service; it is also possible that he/she may be required to pay higher auto liability insurance premiums.
The painful effects of a criminal conviction, however, do not end during or after the punishments; rather, these go beyond the courtroom and prison cell, following the convicted individual and affecting everything else about his/her person, including career, personal life, community relationship, rights and privileges (such as right to international travel, acquisition of professional licenses) and so forth.
These unjust effects of a criminal conviction make a very strong defense in behalf of the accused an absolute necessity. Contrary to the thought that drunk-driving cases are impossible to win, the website of Cape Cod criminal defense attorney James Powderly says that all have a right to a fair trial, but this should be entrusted only at the hands of a skillful and experienced lawyer.

While preparing my presentation for the upcoming iX-Eclipse-Conference, I also tried 3.1rc1 and thought to switch my example plugin to Java 5.
There currently is a problem when one of the plugins uses Java 2, the export wizard of eclipse doesn't work (See my comment on bug 84767).
But worse than this: there is no environment option to tell a user "this plugin needs Java 5" (98269). There are options for the OS or the windowing system used though.
So the recommendation is either to use a custom build with the right environment set or to restrict plugins to Java 2/JDK 1.4.
