VS. 1:13-cv-0234-SEB-DKL
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, II, et al.,
Entry and Order Dismissing Action
Paul A. Guthrie commenced this action shortly after a prior action docketed as Guthrie v. Obama, etal., No. 1:13-cv-0080-JMS-DKL (S.D.Ind. Jan. 18, 2013)(hereafter "the prior action") was dismissed. Upon its initial examination of this case, the court noted that "[t]he plaintiff is recycling claims put to rest" in the prior action. The plaintiff was given a period of time in which to show cause why the present action should not be summarily dismissed "for the same reasons."
The plaintiff has responded to the foregoing directions by asserting that the disposition of the prior action was invalid. This apparently explains why he has tried again and this time has added Judge Magnus-Stinson as a defendant.
The plaintiff has been adequately put on notice to defend the legal sufficiency of the complaint. Even with this opportunity and an elaborate response, however, the complaint does not withstand scrutiny.
The claim against Judge Magnus-Stinson is a complete non-starter. That claim is dismissed because judges have absolute immunity from liability for judicial acts. Ohse V. Hughes, 816 F.2d 1144, 1154 (7th Cir. 1987) (citing Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349 (1978)). The doctrine of absolute judicial immunity attaches for the benefit of the public, who has an interest in a judiciary free to exercise its function without fear of harassment by unsatisfied litigants. Pierson v. Ray, 386 U.S. 547, 554 (1967); see also Forrester v. White, 484 U.S. 219, 225 (1988) (observing that judicial immunity discourages inappropriate collateral attacks and protects judicial independence by insulating judges from vexatious actions prosecuted by disgruntled litigants) (citing Bradley v. Fisher, 13 Wall. 335, 348 80 U.S. 335 (1872)).
The claims against the other defendants are the same claims asserted in the prior action. The prior action was dismissed because the plaintiff lacked standing "to seek the ouster from office of the President and the Vice-President or to obtain the other relief he seeks." Sibley v. Obama, 866 F.Supp.2d 17, 19-20 (D.D.C. 2012), was then cited as authority for this proposition, and of course without standing the action had to be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.1
1″The doctrine of standing enforces the constitutional requirement of a "case or controversy" found in Article Ill of the Constitution. Ezell v. City of Chicago, 651 F.3d 684, 695 (7th Cir. 2011). No principle is more fundamental to the judiciary's proper role in our system of government than the constitutional limitation of federal-court jurisdiction to actual cases or controversies." DaltnierChrysier Corp. ti CLII4), 547 U.S. 332, 341 (2006 (internal quotation marks omitted). Standing requires, inter al/a, that a plaintiff suffer an injury in fact and that there be "a fairly traceable connection between the plaintiffs injury and the complained-of conduct of the defendant." Steel Co. v. Citizens fora Better Environment, 523 U.S. 83, 103 (1998). Standing is a jurisdictional matter. See Morrison v. YTB Intern., Inc., 649 F.3d 533, 536 (7th Cir. 2011). "Subject-matter jurisdiction is our foremost concern; without it, 'the court cannot proceed at all in any cause.- GE Betz, Inc. v. Zee Co., Inc., 2013 WL 1846541, *6 (7th Cir. May 3, 2013)(quoting Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env't, 523 U.S. 83, 94 (1998) (quoting Ex parte McCardle, 7 Wall. 506, 514 (1868)).
The doctrine of res judicata, or claim preclusion, bars "repetitious suits involving the same cause of action' once 'a court of competent jurisdiction has entered a final judgment on the merits.- United States v. Tohono gOdham Nation, 131 S.Ct. 1723, 1730 (2011) (quoting Commissioner v. Sunnen, 333 U.S. 591, 597 (1948)). As noted, the prior action was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, which is not. a judgment on the merits. Magnus Elecs., Inc. v. La Republica Argentina, 830 F.2d 1396, 1400 (7th Cir. 1987). However, it does "preclude relitigation of the issue of whether the first tribunal had jurisdiction," and thus does have collateral estoppel, or issue preclusion, effect in later proceedings. Elmore v. Henderson, 227 F.3d 1009, 1013 (7th Cir. 2000)(emphasis and citation omitted); see also Perry v. Sheahan, 222 F.3d 309, 318-19 (7th Cir. 2000) ("A dismissal for lack of jurisdiction precludes relitigation of the issue actually decided, namely the jurisdictional issue. The difference is in the type of preclusion, not the fact of preclusion. A judgment on the merits precludes relitigation of any ground within the compass of the suit, while a jurisdictional dismissal precludes only relitigation of the ground of that dismissal . . . and thus has collateral estoppel (issue preclusion) effect rather than the broader res judicata effect that nowadays goes by the name claim preclusion.").
There is a wrinkle to the foregoing because in the prior action the plaintiff sought and was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. This triggers the rule in the Seventh Circuit that a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) is not a "judgment on the merits." Okoro v. Bohman, 164 F.3d 1059, 1062 (7th Cir. 1999). In this case, by contrast, the plaintiff paid the filing fee.
That is why the Entry of April 3, 2013, put forward as a possible barrier to the present case "the same reasons" as compelled dismissal of the prior case.3 The plaintiff has responded with a compendium, a polemic. He reinforces his theory somewhat. He discounts the dismissal of the prior action as invalid. The asserted invalidity of the prior action made it an invalid decision to appeal. He does not, however, cure the jurisdictional defect. Courts have rejected various challenges to President Obama's eligibility to hold the office of President. See, e.g., Kerchner v. Obama, 612 F.3d 204, 207 (3d Cir. 2010); Berg v. Obama, 586 F.3d 234, 238-39 (3d Cir. 2009); Sibley v. Alexander, 2013 WL 76286 (D.D.C. Jan. 8, 2013); Taitz v. Obama, 707 F.Supp.2d 1, 3 (D.D.C. 2010). The common rationale of these decisions, as with the prior action, is the plaintiff's lack of standing due to the absence of particularized injury. This case is dismissed for the same reason.
Judgment consistent with this Entry shall now issue.
Date: SARAH EVANS BARKER, JUDGE United States District Court Southern District of Indiana
2 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), "Notwithstanding any filing fee, or any portion thereof, that may have been paid, the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that. . (B) the action or appeal—(i) is frivolous or malicious; [or] (ii) fails to state a claim on which relief
may be granted . ." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
3 "District judges have ample authority to dismiss frivolous or transparently defective suits spontaneously, and thus save everyone time and legal expense. This is so even when the plaintiff has paid all fees for filing and service." Hoskins v. Poelstra, 320 F.3d 761, 762 (7th Cir. 2003).

Last night we went to our friend Lisa and Andrew's house so I brought my favorite pasta salad. This is the first time I've made this salad this year and I love the way the kitchen smells while I'm putting it together.
I started making this loosely based on an orzo pasta salad my friend Celeste told me she makes.
- cooked orzo
- chopped up asparagus (I throw it in the pasta water a few minutes before the orzo is done to cook it)
- halved grape tomatoes
- feta (I used reduced fat)
- one lemon zest and juice
- shredded or ribbons of basil
- olive oil
I just mix all the ingredients together after the orzo has cooled and refrigerate until it's served.
If it's not lemony enough, you can add the juice of another lemon. This salad tastes like spring and summer. It's refreshing, flagrant and wonderful. It can be a side or it's own meal.

Saw this quote somewhere -
"I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.

2003 Pac-10 Championships Recap
The fourth-ranked Washington men upset No. 1 California to win the varsity eight championship and the UW women won the team title May 18, 2003 at the Pacific-10 Conference Rowing Championships on Lake Natoma. The Husky men won their first conference varsity eight crown since 1997, stopping the Golden Bears' streak of five straight victories in the Pac-10 regatta. California lost for only the second time since the start of the 1999 season, both defeats came against Washington which beat the four-time defending NCAA champions in a 2002 Bay Area dual meet. Washington went wire-to-wire in the featured race, registering a seven-seat triumph. Although they didn't win any individual women's events, the Huskies received the Pac-10 team trophy by virtue of lofty finishes in all four events. The Huskies finished third in the novice eight competition and placed second in the three other races, the varsity eight, junior varsity eight and varsity four events. Stanford was a surprising winner in the women's varsity eight race, halting Washington's streak of 11 consecutive conference championships. The top-ranked Huskies and No. 2 California entered as the pre-race favorites, having split their two meetings in 2003. The sixth-ranked Cardinal overtook Washington near the mid-way point of the race and had open water at the finish. The Huskies had streak of six straight women's junior varsity championships halted as they were narrowly defeated by California. The Husky men's junior varsity eight also finished second to Cal. The Huskies staged a furious sprint at the end of the men's varsity four race, but California held them off by two seats at the finish. Washington placed second to Cal in the women's varsity four race, holding off a late charge from third-place Washington State. UCLA was the women's novice eight winner with an impressive four-second victory over runner-up California. The Huskies were third.
Nifty Newcomers
The future looks bright for the Washington women's program that fields a dominant group of first-year rowers. UW's novice eight crew is undefeated in six races this season heading into Sunday's Pac-10 Championships. The Huskies' average winning margin is an astounding 10 seconds, including a 20-second triumph April 24 at California. The newcomers have been so impressive that four of them were promoted last week. Kara Farquharson is the No. 7 seat in the varsity while Courtney Plitt, Liz Simenstad and Asiha Grisby will row in the Huskies' junior varsity boat at the Pac-10 Championships.
Shuffling the Deck
Husky men's coach Bob Ernst tinkered with his lineup all season, trying to glean the best eight rowers from a deep roster. The result is that 15 different rowers have competed in the varsity eight crew in five regattas this season. Junior Giuseppe Lanzone (McLean, Va.) is the only rower to compete in the top boat for every race. Even the coxswain spot was up for grabs as junior Greg King (Meadville, Pa.) and senior Chris O'Brien (Cincinnati, Ohio) split time directing the lead boat. The competition for positions in the top crew has created a dynamic junior varsity eight that is undefeated in five races.
Young Buck
For the fourth straight week, the stroke seat in Washington's men's varsity eight boat will be occupied by sophomore Brodie Buckland (Olympia, Wash. / Capital HS). UW is undefeated with Buckland stroking the varsity. On April 24, he helped the Huskies defeat No. 2 California during his first appearance in UW's top boat. The Huskies beat No. 7 Navy and Italy on May 1 and won at No. 7 Oregon State May 8. Ironically, Buckland never served as the stroke last year for the freshman crew. He rowed in central seats all last season for the UW newcomers who finished fourth at the 2003 IRA national championships.
About the UW Men's Varsity Eight
The Husky men are currently ranked No. 3 among varsity eights after drawing the No. 2 ranking in the preseason poll behind defending national champion Harvard. UW placed third at the San Diego Crew Classic (April 4) behind California and Northeastern and was edged by Wisconsin in a dual race (April 17). The Huskies defeated No. 2 California by a boat length in a dual regatta (April 24). Washington posted an open-water victory over No. 7 Navy and the Italian junior national team May 1 to win the Windermere Cup. In their last outing, the Huskies defeated No. 7 Oregon State (May 8) by nearly two boat lengths. UW's varsity eight won the 2003 Pac-10 title and placed second at the IRA championships before winning the Ladies Challenge Plate competition at the prestigious Royal Henley Regatta in England. Six rowers return from last year's varsity eight crew: senior Marko Petrovic (Belgrade, Serbia), senior Brett Newlin (Riverton, Wyo.), junior Giuseppe Lanzone (McLean, Va.), junior Kyle Larson (Mount Vernon, Wash./Mount Vernon HS), senior Sam Burns (Seattle, Wash./O'Dea HS) and senior Andy Derrick (Cincinnati, Ohio). A seventh rower, senior Ian Sawyer (Auckland, New Zealand), joined the crew for the Henley triumph. Bob Ernst is in his 30th season on staff, his 17th as the men's head coach. Ernst seeks to direct the Huskies' varsity eight to their first national championship since 1997. Serving as the men's freshman coach for the sixth season is Fred Honebein, a former rower at California who captained the U.S. men's eight from 1993-96 and was the 1995 U.S. Rowing Athlete of the Year.
About the UW Women's Varsity Eight
The Washington women's varsity eight dropped to No. 9 in this week's (May 12) coaches poll. They placed second to California at the San Diego Crew Classic (April 4) and defeated Washington State in a dual (April 10). UW finished three seconds behind No. 2 California in a dual race (April 24). The Huskies outraced UCLA and the Italian junior national team on May 1 to win the Windermere Cup. In its last outing, UW defeated Oregon State (May 8) by two boat lengths. The Huskies return only two rowers from the crew that placed fourth in the varsity eight event at the 2003 NCAA Championships. Seniors Mary Reeves (Dayton, Wash./Dayton HS) and Yvonneke Stenken (Sacramento, Calif.) are the only holdovers from last season's top boat. The changes aren't limited to the athletes as the UW coaching staff underwent a major overhaul. Eleanor McElvaine takes over as the women's head coach after serving 13 seasons as an assistant coach under Jan Harville who retired in July. Sean Mulligan was hired as the assistant varsity coach while Erica Schwab will work as the novice women's coach. All three members of the staff are former crew competitors at UW.
Big Addition
The Washington women's varsity eight crew features six rowers who were not in the top boat last season. The most noticeable newcomer is 6-foot-6 freshman Sarah Hubbard, a native of Adelaide, Australia. Hubbard is one of the rare true freshmen to compete for the varsity. Even rarer is the fact that she immediately earned a berth in the varsity eight and has rowed with that crew all season. Hubbard's parents are both employed as playground designers in Australia.
Cincinnati Connection
The Washington men's roster includes a pair of individuals who were prep classmates at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. Seniors Andy Derrick and Chris O'Brien have both spent time in the varsity and junior varsity eight boats this season. They have been competing together since junior high and last year were on different crews for the first time ever. They had participated in the same boat for the previous seven years before Derrick was promoted to the No. 2 seat in the varsity eight crew in 2003 while O'Brien coxed the junior varsity boat.
UW's Last Regatta Recap
Washington crews won all 12 races May 8 on Lake Vancouver, including the third-ranked men's open-water win over No. 7 Oregon State in the varsity eight event during the annual dual regatta between the Northwest rowing rivals. Inclement weather created choppy water and forced some delays in the racing schedule, but the featured men's and women's varsity eight events were not impacted by the wind and rain. The Beavers opened with a lead in the men's varsity eight race, but were unable to sustain their early high stroke rate. Washington gradually overtook OSU and won the race by nearly two boat lengths. The Huskies completed the 2,000-meter course in 5-minutes, 44.06-seconds followed by OSU in 5:49.0. The eighth-ranked Washington women's varsity eight registered an impressive two boat-length victory. The Huskies clocked a time of 6:40.01 and OSU finished in 6:48.83. The UW women's junior varsity eight crew underwent major alterations this week and the new lineup was successful in its maiden voyage. Three freshmen were moved into the second boat, helping the Huskies win their first junior varsity competition of the season. Washington rallied from an early deficit to win going away with a time of 7:34.97 to 7:49.86 for OSU. The Husky men's junior varsity remained undefeated, improving to 5-0 with a 11-second victory over Oregon State which finished fourth behind three UW crews. Also maintaining an unblemished record was the UW women's novice eight. The Husky newcomers improved to 6-0 despite having four regular rowers promoted to other crews. The closest race of the day came in the men's freshman eight competition. The Huskies held off OSU to win by two seats with a time of 6:38.5. The Beavers finished in 6:39.3. Washington crews were also victorious in the women's varsity and novice fours, the second novice eights and the third varsity eights along with the men's second freshman eights and varsity pairs.

Limerick Rose scoops a different kind of prize
SOME REVELLERS were only going home to their beds at 4.30am this week during the Rose of Tralee, but not the Limerick Rose.
Suzanne O'Brien was instead rising at that ungodly hour to muck out her horses and prepare them for the Dublin Horse Show.
The Adare native, a broadcast journalist with Live 95FM, was admittedly disappointed she didn't get to represent Limerick on the stage in the Dome in Tralee.
However, she was riding high nonetheless after taking home four medals in several categories. Suzanne took home a first prize medal, two thirds, and a fifth on her own horse Crystal (aka Razzle Dazzle Girl), while her sister Lyndsey also took home two medals - a fourth and a sixth place, on Hero (Mr Shakespeare).
A keen jockey, as luck would have it this was also the first year she made it to the parade ring in the main arena for the overall champions, after her friend had to bow out due to an injury, and instead Suzanne rode her horse, Finn, to glory.
"It was a great week. I really couldn't believe it. I was just delighted with the result. It was a tough week, with a lot of early mornings and late nights, but when you get the result it's worth it. It's a show that anything can happen at, no matter how consistent you've been all season. It's always an honour to ride up there and great to come away with anything," she said.
She took home her prizes in the show hunter ponies category, the side saddle, and the small Hunter category, and then there was a quick dash to Tralee on Sunday, after competing that day in Dublin. Suzanne was in the audience with her fellow Roses who didn't make it beyond the regional finals in Portlaoise. "The atmosphere was electric, and I felt really proud to be there and represent Limerick even though I wasn't on a stage. It was great to support the girls I had made friends with in Portlaoise and we all supported one another. I was delighted I went and to be a part of it."
The Luxembourg Rose, Nicola McEvoy, won the tiara this year, and Suzanne said she had been one of her odds-on favourites all along. "I had a long-list of favourites but she was definitely up there. I don't know what it was, she just stood out. She had all the traits you imagine a Rose should have – she had the poise, the charisma, a sense of humour, she can speak very well. She's just a really nice person."

Having received numerous emails asking questions about which iSCSI target software offers which feature I've put together a sheet which tries to sum up the various features and editions of the different Windows iSCSI target software available.
This sheet might be missing features actually available in certain products, some features might not be available at all and so on. The reason for this disclaimer is that all vendors name their features differently so I've tried to sum it up by reading the information available. Some vendors have chosen not to post anything useful about their product, so a comparison is not possible in this case. In the case where no information have been found or I'm unsure if it's available I've marked it n/a. If the information has been clear it's either yes or no.
Protocol information
From Wikipedia: In computing, iSCSI (pronounced /аɪsˈkʌzi/), is an abbreviation of Internet Small Computer System Interface, an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval. The protocol allows clients (called initiators) to send SCSI commands (CDBs) to SCSI storage devices (targets) on remote servers. It is a popular storage area network (SAN) protocol, allowing organizations to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays while providing hosts (such as database and web servers) with the illusion of locally-attached disks. Unlike traditional Fibre Channel, which requires special-purpose cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network infrastructure.
Table of features / prices
Right click, Save As to download:
Different approaches
Of all the vendors in the comparison there are about as many approaches as vendors. FalconStor for example has made an ESX appliance, which means that if you're not running ESX you have no use of their product. According to what I can understand from their site you can connect anything to it once it's up and running though. DataCore has chosen to make "bundles" of their product which led me to not really understand what I need and when and for what. Microsoft sells their iSCSI-target through OEM vendors, so to get your hands on Windows Storage Server you'll need to buy storage from Dell, HP, Fujitsu or any other vendor that sells Windows-based appliances. Nimbus free product MySan only runs on Windows 2003 SP1 for some odd reason. SP 2 is not supported according to their information. Both Starwind, iscsicake and istorage server from Kernsafe comes in different editions with various features available. This seems like the best approach since you can choose an edition with the features you need for a price you're willing to pay.
Links to vendors
How to choose
Choosing an iSCSI target software for your Windows based environment there are a few things to keep in mind. Looking at the table there are a lot of different editions with a bunch of different features. If you're looking to emulate tape libraries and replicate data it's in the higher price range. Satisfied with one or two concurrent connections you can get away alot cheaper, this would put you in the testing range though since a few concurrent connections won't do you any good in production. Writing a recommendation here is virtually impossible considering the number of features available and the different needs in different situations. You'll have to analyze what you really need and base your decision on that.
If you need help evaluating your storage needs, either SAN or iSCSI-based I can be of service. You can contact me through the contact form and I'll get you in touch with our sales people to book either a visit or a virtual meeting depending on where you're based.
Have I missed any software for Windows? What features do you think are the most useful / useless? Have you bought a product that you can recommend or warn anyone about?

You girls are so crafty! Love the needle keeper. My collection has outgrown anything so organized, and fills the better part of a large picnic basket, but that's because I keep buying all nylon Susan Bates circular needles of any size at garage and estate sales.
Not decorating the tree? That's bound to make the clean up quick and easy. You clever, clever girl!

Love these projects! Love your fabric choices. I recently found a set of bamboo knitting needles, sizes 1 to 15 on ebay for 99 cents! Yeah! And the shipping from China was $2!!! That's just the sort of thing that would be great in a gift like this.

Wonderful gifts, Cheryl. Looks like we were on the same "page". Rachael is taking a pretty in-depth sewing class in KC and so I bought her a bunch of sewing supplies that I use regularly. They were her stocking stuffers. I wanted to make her a sewing kit, but didn't get that far. I also bought her some jewelry tools and a gift certificate to Bead Island. She's begun some jewelry projects. Lauren (mine) has really taken off with knitting lately. Don't you love it when our girls get creative (following in our footsteps)?

Trend Alert- Linen Bedding
It's somewhat of an oxymoron- putting the words trend and linen together, but lately I've been seeing it everywhere. We have owned our white linen duvet for about four years (it takes a break in hot summer months), and it's remains a purchase that I stand behind. Like a lot of people, I have a tendency to get tired of pattern more quickly than I (or Connor)would like. So I use pillows for pattern and texture and while my simple white linen duvet stays put. We are currently in the middle of changing up our bedroom scheme, and I love that it's as simple as changing out some pillows. If I haven't sold you yet- our linen duvet gets softer with each wash, and looks best a little "wrinkled"- which is super ideal with little ones. (This is not an add, I just really like linen:).
Here is our bedroom with it's linen duvet and old set up of pillows:
I also used linen bedding recently in designing my in-laws bedroom:
How beautiful is this set-up by Holly at Avenue Lifestyle? She is a master at using linen.
Below is one of my most favorite images (also from Holly), I love how she mixed different shades.
I don't naturally gravitate towards pink (in such a large scale), but I'm really loving this mauve linen. It feels more subtle.

Things I Did Yesterday 27/10/08
My clamouring public demands me! Yesterday I:
- Didn't write. Bad Andrew. Read fantasy tat in the park instead, huddled out of the miserable weather.
- Did, however, continue my Bill Bryson audiobook odyssey, with Notes From A Small Island, which I'm very glad I never read before living in the UK for a while.
- Worked. Biggest job was putting together an invoice for Hounslow libraries, but other than that I was mainly covering (and tidying behind) the till.
- Claudia and Morgan swung by at the end of the day, so they, I, Will and Nat swung down to the Princess Louise for a quick drink. Nice to see them, particularly given that there's limited time left to see them in before their American relocation.
- Came home to the smell of roasting chicken. Mmmm...
- Also came home to discover that Alex had salvaged some goodies from her friends that she helped move through the day, including a bicycle and an original Xbox. It's just the kind of time waster I've been looking for.
- Played some Mario Kart while Alex watched. That's the kind of crazy shit we do at night.
- We started watching Stephen Fry's America, which was, of course, quite entertaining, if a little brief in its coverage.
- Went to bed and tried to read. Went to sleep. Fitfully.

Things I Did Yesterday 21/10/08
Rudy Ray Moore has died! RIP muthafucka! Anyway, yesterday I:
- Got up nice and early with a mind toward achieving stuff. Achieved little.
- Got out and about to get some breakfast and find a teapot. Ran into Ossie down near Angel and had a little chat, then had no luck whatsoever finding a teapot I liked.
- Came home and flipped from one thing to the other all day. Watched Powell and Pressburger's A Canterbury Tale, which was thoroughly enjoyable if lacking some of the visual panache of their later stuff. I also watched Plague of the Zombies from the Hammer box set, which was great.
- Got back into playing Half-Life Two Episode One for a little while. It was nice to give it some time actually.
- Like a restless spirit I then went on to playing some Mario Galaxy, which is great. There's something quite remarkable about the Mario games when they're on form. The density of imagination in them is a thing to behold. Just played through one galaxy, as I'm trying to spin it out.
- Spent a bit of time on the Wii Fit, doing some yoga stretches, a bunch of balance exercises and a few aerobic exercises.
- Read some comics, including Legion of 3 Worlds, which is rather baffling to me as a non-Legion guy, but is substantial enough to feel like a satisfying read. Well, it's mainly just a big fight scene, but a very dense, enjoyable one.
- Caught up on movie trailers. I love the fact that The Transporter 3 (who knew we needed it?) is directed by a man named Olivier Megaton.
- Used chopped Moroccan lamb burgers mixed with garlic roasted portobello mushrooms as the basis for kebabs for dinner. Very happy with the results.
- Watched the latest episodes of the Sarah Silverman Show.
- Played a little Age of Empires on the DS, which has an addictive "Just one more turn" sort of quality. My battery died at about 2.30am.
- Promised myself that today I would spend some time reading a book.

Readers, friends, fellow bloggers, Mom... I'd like you all to meet Swiss Chard. She's a lovely leafy green that tastes just like spinach, only slightly heartier, and possesses the most photogenic stems I've ever seen. I've shied away from Chard in the past, burdened with a fear of all that is unknown and green after an unfortunate mishap with raw rapini. To my sweet surprise, this chard did not leave the same bitter aftertaste on my tongue that do most greens. In fact, the striking similarity to spinach had me reaching for seconds. And possibly thirds... but who's counting?
What to cook the chard with? Whatever's on hand! When cooking with chard, don't be shy - use the stems as well as the leaves to add a pop of colour to your dish. Use it in your favourite recipes in place of spinach, or, go ahead and make this easy entrée tonight and change up your routine!
Swiss Chard & Arugula Sauté
what you'll need
1 tbsp light olive oil
1 cup Swiss chard, chopped
1 cup arugula (roquette), chopped
1/2 cup corn kernels, reserving 4 tbsp liquid from can
1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
1 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp cayenne/chilli powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
how to do it
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Toss in arugula, chard and liquid. Once greens begin to wilt, add in corn and tomatoes, constantly moving around in pan with spatula. Sprinkle on salt, cumin and cayenne. Cook about 4 minutes on medium heat, or until tomatoes begin to blister and liquid reduces.
Serve warm, optionally topped with plain non-fat greek yogourt.

John Talabot and Brassica Remix Bicep on Upcoming 12"
Bicep (pictured above) has tapped Barcelona's John Talabot and fellow UK talent Brassica to remix the title track from last year's Satisfy 12" for an upcoming release on the pair's Feel My Bicep imprint. The Satisfy Remixes 12" will feature Brassica's take on the synth-soaked original on the record's a-side, leaving Talabot (who offered up a free remix of Pional earlier today) to deliver his "RainMix" of the tune for the record's b-side. In a press release, Brassica's rework is described as "a peak time teaser which grows, twists, and mutates whilst keeping the details eloquent and the vibe fun," while Talabot's contribution to the effort is said to find him "reaching for his melodic sensibilities whilst slowly building a thumper."
The Satisfy Remixes 12" will see its official release on August 26, serving as the Feel My Bicep imprint's third official release, though the duo does tease that "FMB004, with four new Bicep originals, is also just around the corner." In the meantime, Brassica's remix of "Satisfy" is streaming in full below.

Review: The very soft, padded back is easily distorted, so it needs very careful packing to make it comfortable. Aside from that, the harness is extremely comfortable with plenty of adjustment. Quite light (720g) and versatile, too, with a series of compression straps that mean it can carry up to 51 litres, although best around the 35-litre mark. Needs careful packing for maximum stability.
Capacity: 35 litres-plus
Main compartment: Drawcord with roll-top closure
Back system: Plain foam padded
Other features: Hip belt, two angled side mesh pockets, large front pocket, hydration-compatible, compression straps
Colours: Six including sapphire/grease, thyme/coriander, cornflower/sapphire
Contact: 01827 60282, www.golite.comVerdict: A minimalist pack that will suit those keen to keep things light, and the extra volume would make short backpacking trips a possibility. Not the most comfortable, though.

Do you stay up late pulling Tarot cards and looking up the card meanings?
Do you read the Tarot for your friends, but only if you have the safety of a book or website nearby?
Have you ever attempted to open your third eye to enhance your intuition?
If the answer is yes, then it's likely we'd be great friends! I have been developing my spiritual toolbox for my entire adult life. I follow brilliant, spiritual teachers, read countless books, participate in spiritual circles, and test-drive new meditation and spiritual practices daily. It's through my commitment to this guidance that I was able to become a spiritual teacher and serve others with my readings and workshops.
It took me 7 years of Tarot practice to get to the point of confidence. At the 7 year point, I happened upon a spiritual teacher that enlightened me. She told me how I was holding myself back. From that day forward, I have been reading professionally and teaching others to do the same. That one key turning point, changed my life. If I had that coaching 7 years earlier, I would have never used the books that were holding me back from my spiritual work.
For the past decade, I have been leading workshops on meditation, spirit guide contact, past lives, and Tarot reading. People always approach me after my workshops and ask me how they can keep learning more with me. I never had a clear answer besides my phone number for personal mentoring, and I have done quite a bit of personal mentoring over the years. But I wanted to be able to teach more of these subjects, especially the Tarot.
I am bubbling with spiritual experiences and practical methods of my work, and my spirit guides have been pushing me to share my work.
My Guides set me on a mission. It was finally time for me to create an offering that would provide consistent connection to my teachings and practices. I brainstormed ways to create a community and connect consistently. With this desire, I chose to create this Tarot Reading Community program. This simple platform, together with my live webinars and private forum, allows us to stay connected on your journey. Even on your most chaotic days, you can log in and instantly access the exact exercises you need to develop your spiritual connection with The Cards and to get the guidance that you need in your life (and for others).
This course helps new Tarot students stay consistent on their path with easy access to my private live webinars, Tarot video lectures, PDF worksheets, and community forum.
Each month, we have a live practice webinar to help you take your skills to the next level.
As a Vibe Tarot Course student, you will receive:
Instant Access to the Entire Library of Video Lectures
As a University instructor, and author on the subject of teaching, my video lectures are fun and engaging. They are practical with a hands on approach to your learning.
Practice PDF Worksheets & Quizzes
These are easy to follow, results oriented worksheets and quizzes for your practice. They will help you practice after you view the video lectures.
One Year of Live Monthly Practice Sessions
I will also hold monthly live practice sessions with enrolled students. We will share our own experiences and tips, address questions from the community, and provide guided practice sessions with students that show up for the session. Each live session is recorded, so if you can't make it live, it is still available to you!
VIP Private Community Forum
Vibe Tarot students also get access to our private community of Tarot students and on-going readers. The community is one where people support each other, connect, ask questions, get feedback, and offer up their own insights and encouragement in a trusted group setting.
The Vibe Tarot team is always on-hand to assist as you go through the lesson material or have general questions about your readings, and we love to highlight member questions, wins, and feedback requests from the community within our weekly emails and during our live sessions.
Student Spotlight
What's covered in the course?
The course is separated into 5 main modules of content, each with a number of individual lessons, and one bonus module.
I'll be delivering the content through a series of videos, worksheets, and quizzes. Additionally, there will be one monthly live practice session for your first year of the course.
Module 1: The Foundation to Reading the Cards
In this first module, I will walk you through the story of the Fool's Journey. The Fool's Journey is an essential part of the Tarot that you must understand to use it most effectively. It is the story of life with all of it's gifts and trials & tribulations. I further explain the three big secrets that many new readers do not understand about reading Tarot Cards, and explain my simple shuffling and clearing method.
Module 2: Development Exercises
The 3 development exercises help you connect with the cards quickly and easily. You don't want to become dependent on a book for your answers. Any book will tell you what that particular author believes the Tarot cards mean. These exercises will show you the process of getting your own keywords and meanings while you work.
With these exercises, you will put away your traditional meanings and get truly acquainted with the cards. These exercises will help you strengthen your intuitive muscles, and they will teach you how to build a solid foundation of knowledge before you start handing out advice.
Module 3: Understanding the Minor Arcana
Many new students get confused with all of the numerology, court cards, and symbols of the 56 Minor Arcana cards. This module will teach you to quickly connect with the 10 numbered cards of each suit. The 4 suits are explained in an easy to understand way with a simple exercise demonstrated to get the full picture of each suit story.
Then the lesson takes you beyond your own interpretation of the cards. Most books only give you the author's interpretation. I take you back to tradition and fully explain each of the numbered cards from the perspective of the Tree of Life symbols from Jewish mysticism. This was the Rider-Waite creator's traditional meanings.
The Court Cards are a typical frustration for new students. The Court Card lesson clears up the typical confusion and shows you how to combine the keywords to get clarity.
Module 4: Tarot Spreads
This module takes you through 7 types of Tarot spreads. I use all of these myself in my readings. I explain the pattern spread, past-present-future spreads, relationships spreads, yes-no spreads, "when" spreads, the celtic-cross spread, and clarification spreads.
Additionally, this module tells you how to end your reading on a positive note. Because we know it's no fun giving people news they don't want to hear.
Module 5: Developing Intuitive Reading Skills
This module provides 3 lessons for developing your psychic reading skills. I provide two daily Tarot exercises and a lesson about my personal experiences and methods of raising my etheric vibration with aura expansion rituals.
Module 6: Bonus & Thank You
In this final module, I explain a simple, but fun Tarot party game that I do at Full Moon gatherings at my home. The party game is something that my spiritual friends and students look forward to every month.

She says he's a "neophyte." He says she's "never spent a day in the private sector."
Council will pick a new chair of the Toronto Transit Commission this week. The two leading candidates to replace Karen Stintz, who is giving up the high-profile post to run for mayor, are Maria Augimeri and Josh Colle.
They are saying mildly critical things about each other.
Augimeri was first elected in 1985. Colle, Stintz's choice, was first elected in 2010. She says it is "too soon" for him to get the key job, especially since he was only joined the TTC in 2012.
Colle replies that his pre-council experience in business counts: he worked for the airport authority and as a consultant to transit-building firms.
The winner will get an instant boost in name recognition, but he or she is unlikely to have a major impact on policy. There are only seven commission meetings left until the election in October.
Colle (Ward 15, Eglinton-Lawrence) voted for a subway to replace the Scarborough RT. Augimeri (Ward 9, York Centre) supported light rail. Both promised not to try as chair to reopen that debate or any other settled plan.
Augimeri said she sees the post as "strictly a caretaker position."
"I intend to take over the reins in as seamless a way as possible, hit the ground running, to ensure that the meetings are run in a very businesslike manner. I know how to run meetings," she said. She said she would "continue to put the good of riders at the forefront of every thought and every vote."
Colle said he believes "there's got to be to be a real continued focus on improved service, and customer service, for riders." He said he can effectively lobby the provincial government for more funding; he is connected to the Liberal caucus through his father, MPP Mike Colle, whom he did not mention.
Augimeri, aligned with council's left-leaning bloc, guaranteed she would not seek the chairmanship again next term if chosen. Colle, a centrist, would not make the same promise, but he said he isn't sure if he wants to do the job beyond this year.
Councillor Doug Ford said he will try to run for the job, but he acknowledged he won't win. The chair must be chosen from the TTC board; he is not a member.

Agility Mobility
by Tracey Wik
I was speaking at a succession planning conference for a group of senior HR and Talent Management leaders recently, and I was pleased to see the acceptance of executives of the digital age. I don't mean to be flippant, but having been an early adopter of these technologies and I have found it fascinating the dichotomy between one's connectivity at work and one's connectivity at home. I have also seen it thwart the building of people and organizational capabilities.
While something like 50% of the world's population is under 30, the cadre of people running most large, global organizations is Baby Boomers. The digital divide has typically meant the gap between those who have access to technology as opposed to those that do not, but at this conference, it was as defined by "those who are using agile mobile platforms in their leadership development strategy and those who are not." Most corporations have formal social media policies in place, and limit access to personal sites during work hours. There are those exceptions of course where social media by employees is a cornerstone of the employee value proposition as well as the brand, like Zappos.
The conversation about agility mobility was lively when discussing how to close the gap on the necessary skills needed to compete today and in the future. The majority of people in the room are being pulled by the demand of their employees to engage with them in ways that work e.g., getting coaching guides on their smart phones. This is a good thing, and if you do not have a digital strategy in place, now is the time to consider how your competitors will leave you behind.
The Chally Questionnaire does not measure specific digital skills, but the mistake people often make is assuming that how to be a good digital citizen is different than how to be a good corporate citizen. The fact of the matter is, the key to a successful digital strategy requires many of the same skills bricks and mortar or face-to-face demand with one exception—an understanding of the appropriate tool and technology to align with the culture.
Like most things in life, this is simple and not easy to do. When implementing a leadership development program, we advocate our clients embed agility mobility in the design of the deliverables. While this is not Chally's core skill, we have partners who are cutting-edge in this domain. There are all kinds of research studies that talk about the need for consistent habits over an extended period of time to change behaviors. Given that most of us spend more time connected to our phone than any other possession, what better platform to remind people of those habits than your hand-held device? Give your employees what they want!

Of course you're right, and in a form where that question was deemed appropriate this soluton might work but in the majority of real world applications there are usually set responses that must be made. I don't think there is a HR dept in the world that would dream of putting out an application form where it was possible to enter one's gender as "other". If I thought for more than five minutes I could probably come up with a few other examples. This is digressing a bit from the topic now though... A solution along the same lines might be to have a default radio button labelled 'not answered' and validate the form submission for the ocurrence of these and prompt the respondee to fill them in. Does anyone see any problems with that? --J. Access Systems wrote: > On Fri, 21 Nov 2003, P.H.Lauke wrote: > > >>Gender: male, female, other ?

3 witnesses were "stargazing" when a disk shaped craft flew over a hill with red lights around it. 1 witness came into the house to get someone else to see it. the 4th witnesses all said it could not have been a plane of any kind. The disk then whent in a slant lower and lower and lower. We then lost site of the object. The object was at a height of 80-100 feet at the highest when we lost sight. The craft was to low to have took off up in the air really fast. It most likely would have had to landed. Dogs barked and growled at woods some 2-5 minutes later.

Cerbios' board approves the investment for upgrading the current plant for CHO based recombinant protein manufacturing
Cerbios strongly believes that Biotechnology will play a more and more significant role in the future of the pharmaceutical industry. This advanced technology is expected to make available more effective drugs and increase the quality of life of patients worldwide.
For this reason, and based on Cerbios' long-term experience in mammalian cells, the Cerbios board has approved the investment of several million Swiss Francs in the modification and improvement of the existing biotechnology manufacturing facility.
This investment will make available to the European market a "state-of-the-art" biologics plant dedicated to the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins based on a CHO platform under cGMP.
This facility will allow Cerbios to strengthen its position as a contract manufacturer for the production of New Biological Entities (NBE).
The facility consists of separate areas for upstream, downstream and critical downstream operations, and is designed with special attention to the optimization of personnel flow and to the reduction of contamination risks. A separate area is dedicated to the storage of the Master Cell Bank and the Working Cell Bank under cGMP conditions. The new structure will occupy approximately 500 m2, of which more than 320m2 are clean rooms, and it is expected to be fully operational and approved by regulatory authorities for manufacturing by Q3/Q4 2012.
The newly upgraded cGMP manufacturing facility with an advanced high quality infrastructure is designed to accommodate the manufacture of active ingredients based on recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies not only for pre-clinical and clinical phases, but also for commercial use. As a first step the facility will maintain its current bioreactor capacity, which is up to 100 liters. This will serve the supply of material for clinical phase I and II. However, the upgraded plant is designed for the quick expansion of the capacity up to 500 liters (stainless steel or disposable technology).
The Cerbios R&D team has over 15 years of experience in the field of biotechnology applied to the production of recombinant APIs from CHO cells.
The team's experience includes cloning of the gene in suitable vectors, transfections, clone selections, setting of culture conditions and optimization of culture media for upstream process development, biochemical experience in purifications for downstream process development, scaling up, setting and validation of analytical methods for in process control, stability and release testing. Thanks to its technology and experience, Cerbios has already successfully developed recombinant proteins, such as rUK and rG-CSF. Based on this know-how, Cerbios can offer to its customers full process development starting from a cell line or process optimization after a Technology Transfer. This includes upstream and downstream process development, validations (analytical, process, cleaning), release of the API, stability studies and characterization of the product.
Cerbios is a privately held company located in Lugano, Switzerland, that specializes in the development and manufacture of both chemical and biological APIs for its partners world-wide.
Exclusive, third-party manufacturing services are offered by the Chemical Division for HPAIs and by the Biological Division for monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and pharma probiotics.
Cerbios provides full CMC support to its world-wide partners, including the supply of cGMP clinical batches, registration/validation material and commercially manufactured APIs. Paramount to this is the ability to supply all of the technical documentation and support necessary for a successful registration. Cerbios' commercial products are marketed worldwide but primarily in Europe, USA, Japan and India.

What I love about Hyper-V Replica is that (a) it is free (b) it just works and (c) it works for a wide variety of customers/partners (large and small). It's great that you can get your VMs from site A operational in site B with a maximum RPO of 5 minutes and an RTO of however long it takes to orchestrate the start of your VMs (from seconds, depending on how many VMs you have to order). But one question remains – how do I address those VMs in the DR site?
Stretched Subnets
I am not a networking guy. The term I know is stretched VLANs, but network folks have other mechanisms for this. Basically, concept is that you enable your subnets to reside and route in the primary and secondary site. That means a VM with the address of 192.168.1.20 can operate, route, and be accessible to clients (from anywhere) in either site. That's great for networks of a certain size. Small businesses probably can't do this, and larger enterprises look at the complexity and laugh.
IP Address Injection
With this approach, the Hyper-V administrator pre-configures DR site IP addresses for the VM. The address is injected into the VM during failover using Key Value Pairs (KVP). This allows site A and site B to have different IP ranges. This solution will work pretty well for smaller customers where they own both the primary and the secondary sites.
I hate using DHCP addresses for static resources like servers (including VMs). But you can do it. With this approach, you have DHCP in the primary site to assign reserved IPs to the VMs in the primary site. You have something similar in the secondary site, but with a scope that is suitable for there. Note, you must use static MAC addresses for reservations to work – so be sure to use export/import to move VMs out of band. This is the one solution that I have the least faith in. You might want to look at WS2012 DHCP failover to ensure your DHCP is highly available because it has become a very important factor in your business continuing to operate.
Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV)
HNV, or software defined networking (SDN), is a very scalable solution. It also allows VMs to operate with their normal IP addresses (consumer addresses) while really communicating with the physical network via provider addresses. The VM simply moves/starts on a predefined VM Network(s) in the DR site and continues to communicate. For this to work in production, you need VMM 2012 SP1 and a network virtualization gateway (see Iron Networks. F5 also have something coming).
This solution is a nice one for large enterprises that want to use SDN to abstract networks from a central console). It also allows service providers to support many tenants with overlapping subnets (192.168.1.0/24 or 10.0.0.0).
OK, great, so we get VMs operational in the DR site. Some of these solutions require the VM to change IP address while some don't. If the IP changes, how do clients find the servers? DNS will be out of date!
You can reduce the TTL for the A records of your VMs to something small. If there's a disaster, is it a big deal if VMs can't resolve the names of servers for 5 minutes? Keep in mind DNS replication to local sites – so this might become 15, 20, 60 minutes, depending on TTLs and replication windows. You can force replication to happen and DNS server caches to flush, but those are manual tasks (and prone to not happening in a disaster).
IP Address Abstraction
Imagine this scenario: a large corporate has an offsite data centre. The business operates across a WAN. A DR data centre is deployed, also offsite. A network appliance(s) are deployed and configured to abstract the actual IP addresses of the servers. This allows servers to use IP-A in site A and IP-B in site B. However, the servers are known to the network via IP-C, the abstracted IP managed by the device(s). This solution is for the very largest of businesses. For clients on the WAN, DNS is simple: there is only one A record and it's for IP-C, the abstracted IP.
Personally, I find SDN to be the most elegant solution but there are requirements of scale to make it work. For the smaller biz, maybe DHCP or IP address injection are the way forward. There are options – it is up to you to choose the right one. And I am certainly not going to claim that I have presented all options.
You can learn more about Hyper-V DR and Hyper-V Replica from two chapters on those subjects in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V from the book, Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Installation And Configuration Guide:

The Benjamin David Gilmore story as told here began as a pursuit of the truth.
Observations during Mr. Gilmore's second trial (September/October 2013) brought to light many questions that deserve answers. Based on the prosecuting attorneys' actions, fire scene investigations, and witness testimony, it became obvious that Mr. Gilmore was not the man who was responsible for the fire that occurred at Mason Flats and Penny Flats in downtown Fort Collins, Colorado on October 24, 2011.
The 12-person jury found Mr. Gilmore guilty of arson, burglary and criminal mischief on October 18, 2013.
December 12, 2013 Mr. Gilmore appears in Larimer County Court for his sentencing, which holds the maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.
Mr. Gilmore's story has evolved from a basic quest for discovering and telling the truth into an endeavor of love and courage. It is a natural journey toward peace, hope, and innocence.
The documentary film, Burning the Beekeeper: The Benjamin David Gilmore Story, will be released on December 3, 2013 at 7:00 PM, at Lyric Cinema Café, 300 East Mountain Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado. Admission is free, but seating is limited to 70. Advance tickets are available only through the Lyric Cinema call 970-493-0893.

CLOWN 1969 Award Ann Arbor
CLOWN was a more advanced film than the previous ones, and was a collaboration between actress-dancer Elizabeth Harris and composer Pauline Oliveros. Chase spent days story boarding the scenes in the decaying amusment park next to Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The park fell victim to developers in the middle 70's, so the film serves as a memento to it's existence. He had been struck by the overexposed film scenes in a few Russian films which he tried to copy without the proper equipment. He was also under the spell of Alain Renais' inter-cutting techniques. He also wanted to experiment with sound and image. The Oliveros score is used sparsely, as the majority of the music comes from the park location.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Tuesday ordered a preliminary injunction restricting gang activity in a 1.4-square-mile zone around a South Los Angeles high school.
It's the city's first to be centered on a school and was sought after a nine-month investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department found that students at Fremont High were frequently threatened and attacked by gang members.
Under the order, gang members are banned from congregating in the area bounded by Florence Avenue on the north, Central Avenue on the east, Manchester Avenue on the south and the 110 Freeway on the west. The zone extends 100 yards beyond each of the boundaries.
Gang members could be arrested for violating the terms of the injunction, which includes blocking the path of anyone walking through the zone. Within the last year, several young people in the neighborhood have been shot, beaten or stabbed.

A Tale of Two Chairs (and I'm still here)
Yes, I'm still here! It's been a crazy month with three weeks of company, hosting Easter and a party, a teething two year old, a short bout of sickness, half marathon training….etc. Unless I'm way on top of things, I usually prefer to take time off from the blog when we have company so that I can be fully present. I never regret it, and this past month was no exception. A lot of memories were made, and there were new places that we explored.
Today I thought I would share with you a transformation that I can't even take credit for…….rather, my mom is the miracle worker. We bought these chairs in August with the plan to recover them. It didn't take long before I realized it was a sewing job and not a reupholstery job…..so that fun reupholstery class I was planning on taking would be useless. I found some old couch covers as a temporary fix and attempted to dye them grey and ended up with purple (awesome). In February I was faced with a deadline I needed to have them done by (more on that later), and I was feeling overwhelmed with my sewing skills not being where they needed to be. My mom came to the rescue and offered to recover them for me. Just so you know how awesome she is……I actually mailed the original green covers and she took them apart for measurements and mailed me the new covers without even seeing the chairs.
I absolutely love the way they turned out. You may not be able to see in this picture, but the fabric has a grainy texture which really adds to the overall look.

These look great! I just picked up a pair of matching mid-century lounge chairs, which need to be reupholstered. Can I borrow your mom for a few days?ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha! I know, I lucked out! If you're feeling desperate though, I called around local places that recover/restore furniture and they quoted me at $250 for both chairs not including the fabric (a little pricey depending on how much you paid for the chairs, but if your desperate…….)Delete
These are absolutely beautiful. They are going to look great in your oasis!ReplyDelete

Walterboro Rotary Donates Christmas Cheer
Dec 212016
The Walterboro Rotary Club donated Christmas toys to 28 children at Forest Hills Elementary. Wednesday, December 14, 2016, Walterboro Rotary in partnership with the schools Angel Tree program helped make sure dozens of needy children's Christmas were a bit brighter.
This year's Angel Tree had over 70 names, and thanks to the hard work of the people at Forest Hill and Cindy Riley these kids will get a merry Christmas. We couldn't help our community without the support of our great community. Thanks to Walterboro Rotary successful Ireland Creek Bridge Run and a matching grant from Rotary International it was possible to spread the Christmas cheer.

Sometimes you have to look it up on the Web. See APA p. 198-192.
In practice, many scholars are avoiding the issue altogether and treating the reference as if it is a printed source. This approach is justified when the electronic version is a facsimile of the original, such as a PDF file. CHECK WITH YOUR PROFESSOR BEFORE DOING THIS! If you are writing a thesis or other paper that will be published, you should take the time to locate the URL of the journal's home page.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are showing a defiant front as speculation about their marriage continues to swirl - if this picture is anything to go by at least.
The photo shows the Halo singer and her rapper husband taking a stroll together through a garden.
The couple aren't holding hands, nor are they close to one another, but dressed in casual, summer attire they appear to be at ease in each other's company.
The picture was uploaded to Queen Bey's website beyonce.com along with another image of the Drunk in Love hitmaker beaming from ear to ear in what looks like her back garden.
The photos come after it emerged that the couple are reportedly having online and Skype sessions with a marriage counsellor in a bid to maintain a strong relationship.
It comes two months after the couple were publicly humiliated following what is now referred to (by 3am) as lift-gate.
Embarrassing footage was leaked online, showing Beyonce's younger sister Solange attacking the 99 Problems singer in an elevator as the trio made their way out of a Met Ball after-party in New York.
In it, Solange had to be restrained by the couple's minders as she launched herself at the 44-year-old megastar.
