Incoming 1Ls / Think twice or several times before going to law school« on: November 25, 2013, 09:20:50 PM »
For several years I vacillated about going to law school for several reasons. One of the reasons is that I kept hearing that it was not worth it, and it was not all what it seems. I therefore decided to go to paralegal school and see what it was like. Honestly I am so glad I did not spend all that time and money studying to become a lawyer. It is not as prestigious as one would think. In my opinion it is boring, and once you know the routine and rules of your local court you literally become a paper pusher and filer. It is a shame that law school is so expensive, since the new attorneys know nothing about practicing law, and are talked down to by experienced paralegals. These same attorneys also seem like little puppies waiting for a bone to be tossed to them by the more senior attorneys. Some you will continue your journey towards becoming a lawyer and all I can say....best of luck.

O'Neal Douglas, Wilfredo Gonzalez, Steve Halverson, Wanyonyi Kendrick, Judith Solano, Kevin Twomey
No committee members were absent.
Edythe Abdullah, Luther Coggin, Bruce Taylor, Carol Thompson
Chair Twomey called the meeting to order and asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was proffered by Trustee Douglas, seconded by Trustee Gonzalez, and approved.
Vice President Shuman spoke on the PECO list. She said that each year a capital improvement plan must be submitted to the State; this plan was also known as the PECO list. Every four years universities submitted a plan for expending CITF fees as well. She said she expected $5.2 million in CITF funds. She said university administration was in agreement with the student body and student body president that CITF funds should be put toward the student union. The amount was larger than expected due to a one year delay in the receipt of the funds.
Ms. Shuman went over the priorities in the PECO list, which, she said, were based on the priorities of the Board of Governors and the State and on the needs of the University. The first priority was the utility infrastructure, followed by the education building, and land acquisition for the technology park. The completion of the stadium was the next item, which would free up space in the college of health as parts of the athletic training and physical therapy programs would move over to the stadium facility. Item 5 was classroom renovations, the University was requesting $29 million in 2005-06 and would ask for second phases of these projects and an addition to the Coggin College of Business to relieve overcrowding in 2006-07. The seventh item was an addition to the computer science building; currently computer sciences was sharing space with information technologies. Number 8 had to do with road improvements through 2007-08. The ninth item was for a classroom/office/lab building and the tenth item was an administrative building. The final item was phase 2 of the arts and sciences building.
President Delaney said the totals were significantly higher than what had been requested in the past. He said that Janet Owen would estimate that the University was unlikely to get more than a third of the request but university administration had determined to try for the full amount anyway. He said the toughest decision had been item 3, the land acquisition for the technology park. He said that money would flow into the Foundation, allowing UNF to do whatever was needed with it.
Trustee Twomey asked for questions or comments. Trustee Solano said that, as chair of the Computing Sciences Department, she would be remiss if she didn't take the opportunity to observe that the addition to that building kept being shifted further and further back on the list. She said Computing Sciences now had two lab spaces temporarily installed in building 11, which was about to be demolished, and still needed a third lab to realize the effort with FCCJ. She remarked that she was a little disappointed at where the addition now fell in the PECO list.
Trustee Abdullah asked if there were any plans to match funds and if fundraising was a possibility. President Delaney replied that it was possible, the University planned on fundraising in any case. In answer to Trustee Solano's remarks, he said the decision to move the addition farther down on the list was due to low enrollments, which Trustee Solano said she understood. President Delaney continued, stating that there were plans to replace portable 832 to provide some space. Another possibility was giving all of building 15 to Computing Sciences. He said there were a number of different scenarios in the works that would meet the needs of both Computing Sciences and the University.
Trustee Kendrick said that from a community perspective she was disappointed to see that enrollment numbers in the Computing Sciences had dwindled. She said she believed there was a gap in meeting community needs for omputing science majors. She said that often her own company had to hire outside of the University. She said she looked forward to ensuring that buildings on campus were able to meet the needs of the Computing Sciences programs. Trustee Douglas agreed that the University must be responsive to community needs, and considered it part of the responsibilities of the Board. President Delaney noted that the priorities high on the Governor's agenda right now were education and health. In order to increase the likeliness of funding, it made sense to request monies for items related to those priorities. Had technology been high on the Governor's priority list, the University would have been able to list the addition higher on the PECO request.
Chair Twomey asked for a motion to recommend the PECO list. Trustee Halverson offered the motion. It was seconded by Trustee Gonzalez and approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman said two other motions were required but could not be made until after the workshop discussion. After the workshop, Chair Twomey asked for a motion to recommend the Board authorize promulgation of the 2004-05 tuition and fees rule reflecting the mandated increases and foregoing the optional 2.5% increase for out-of-state tuition. The committee passed the motion unanimously.
Chair Twomey requested a motion to support the proposed budget. Trustee Douglas so moved and the motion was seconded by Trustee Kendrick and passed unanimously.

John Terry could make his comeback from injury for Chelsea in Thursday's Under-21 Premier League clash with Fulham, boss Rafa Benitez has revealed.
Terry has been on the sidelines since sustaining a medial collateral ligament strain in a collision with Luis Suarez in a Premier League clash with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on November 11.
He has yet to feature for new boss Benitez, but the Spaniard has revealed the Blues skipper has resumed training and may be given some game time against the Cottagers on Thursday.
"He has been training and we are considering giving him some minutes in the U21 game on Thurs," Benitez was quoted as saying on the club's official Twitter account.
Under-21 Premier League rules allow for three overage players to be included each club's match squad.

On ESPN's Rumor Central, Keith Law addresses Manny Acta's hiring and non-hiring. And it ain't pretty:
"This is just another piece of evidence on why Drayton McLane is the worst owner in baseball, and the one for whom people in the game would least like to work. His front office chose an excellent managerial candidate, arguably the best of the ones they interviewed, and McLane let him get away because he refused to guarantee the third year of a deal. That sort of meddling and the implied lack of autonomy for the GM makes Houston a lousy place for executives to work - and will continue to hamstring the team going forward as they attempt to rebuild. (It's also an example of why the media and the industry still respect Mark Shapiro even after two disappointing seasons. They make solid, sensible moves, built around good people whose value is evident even to outsiders.)"
How long has it been since the Astros made the national radar for something that made them look good, smart, or pretty? I think we'd all take "slutty" as an adjective over "unrealistic," "ignorant," or "hamstrung."

Admittedly I'm being a tad flippant here (taking a page out of the Keith Law playbook), but KLaw has never seen an Astros move that he liked and seems to lack objectivity when writing about the Astros. Count me in Anonymous' camp as another who could care less about Keith Law.

G6202, Revised September 2000
Vegetable gardening is the number one hobby in the United States. Keeping a garden healthy and attractive requires attention not only to its size and location but also to the soil, water availability, sunlight and air circulation in the garden. These environmental conditions can determine susceptibility to plant diseases. Diseased plants are unsightly and also detract from the enjoyment and fruits of the hobby.
Diseases affect home garden vegetable plants every year. Plant pathogens become established when environmental conditions are favorable. Losses due to disease can be reduced through a combination of proven disease-prevention methods:
In addition to diseases caused by pathogens, many nonparasitic disorders cause serious problems in vegetable production. The following disorders may mimic symptoms caused by pathogens: extremes in temperature, extremes in moisture, extremes in one or more nutrients, and herbicide misapplication or carryover. These disorders will not respond to the use of chemicals aimed at plant pathogens and can make conditions more favorable for disease development.
Table 1
Vegetable families susceptible to similar diseases.
Many plant pathogens survive through the winter in old plants and plant debris remaining in the garden. Removal of the plant material will reduce the chance of certain diseases increasing over years. It also reduces the chance that healthy plants will become infested early in the season. Some plant diseases would naturally occur late in the season and not be a problem on older plants. These same diseases can be devastating on young plants if pathogens are present early in the season.
Debris from diseased plants should not be added to a compost pile, because the temperatures reached in the pile often are not sufficient to kill the pathogens. Burying the plant debris outside the garden will reduce the chance of spreading a disease from debris to plants currently in the garden or to plants that will be in the garden the next year. Some pathogens such as the wilt fungi survive in the soil for many years, and prevention is the best way to manage these diseases.
In addition to removing plant material from the garden, it is important to remove, destroy or disinfest support structures such as wooden stakes and poles used in the garden.
Garden tools can be disinfested by washing them with detergent. Washing will remove soil and adhering fungi or bacteria, and the detergent will remove some of the virus from the tools and inactivate any remaining virus.
Clean seeds and transplants help reduce the chance of introducing plant pathogens into the garden. Do not save seed if disease is present in the garden. Whether growing your own transplants or purchasing them, transplants should be carefully inspected for abnormal growth above and below ground. Reject multipaks of transplants if several cells do not have plants or contain dead plants. Inspect transplants for insect damage on the leaf surface or insects on the lower leaf surface. If growing your own transplants, purchase steam-sterilized growth medium. Disinfest flats with bleach or use new plastic containers.
Certain plant pathogens can grow on weeds and spread to garden plants. For example, aster yellows phytoplasma can be spread from dandilions to carrots by the aster leafhopper. Additionally, some weeds attract insects that transmit diseases. This is especially true of viral diseases.
Cultural practices
The garden site should be well drained. Waterlogged soil encourages development of root rotting fungi, whereas good drainage promotes good growth of plant roots and thus the entire plant. If soil drainage is marginal, building a raised bed may solve the drainage problems.
Plants with the proper available nutrients can withstand environmental stresses and plant pathogen attacks better than plants growing in soil with low fertility or where there is a nutrient imbalance.
Plant-parasitic nematodes, especially root-knot, can be a problem in the garden.
Crop rotation is a good way to manage diseases that attack related plants such as tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants (Table 1). Moving the location of the related plants within the garden from season to season lessens the chance that plant diseases will build up. This is especially true of pathogens which survive in the soil. A good rule of thumb is to avoid returning to the same area of the garden for at least three years. This will not prevent diseases with long-lived resting spores, such as Pythium, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia.
Plant at the recommended seeding rate to reduce competition between plants and promote good air circulation and sunlight penetration. Use viable seed with good germination potential. Use seed packaged for the current year. The seed packet should have a date on it.
Physical practices
Plastic sheeting and organic mulch provide a physical barrier between soil and plant surfaces and reduce the amount of disease inoculum splashed onto foliage, stems and fruits during rainy periods.
Staking and trellising
To reduce the incidence of fruit rot in the garden, keep the fruit as far away from the soil as possible. Staking or trellising are especially effective with tomatoes. Sunburn can also be avoided if plants are grown in such a way that the leaves shade the fruit.
Soil solarization is a nonchemical way to rid the garden of soil-borne plant pathogens. Solarization uses energy from the sun to heat the soil causing physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil. The process is most effective in mid to late summer, when high air temperatures combine with high radiation from the sun. The elevated temperature and toxic products generated from solarization kill or suppress plant pathogens and weed seed. It is believed that beneficial organisms are harmed less by solarization than by fumigation. Solarization also stimulates release of nutrients from organic matter present in the soil.
The biggest disadvantage to this method is that the area treated must be out of production for most of the growing season. Soil to be solarized should be tilled so that the soil is as uniform as possible (free of clods and plant debris) to prevent pockets of untreated soil. Slight elevation of the treated area will minimize recontamination of treated soil. A raised center of the bed will facilitate rainfall shedding. Water sitting on the plastic reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.
Check soil fertility and, if necessary, add fertilizer before beginning solarization. Dry soil should be moistened to a level that is ideal for planting. Wet soil conducts heat better than dry soil and will allow the heat to move deeper in the soil to remove pathogens present in the root zone.
Use clear plastic (1 to 6 mils) to cover the soil. Thinner plastic allows better solarization. The plastic needs to be stretched tight over the soil surface and be in contact with the soil. It is important to bury the edges of the plastic to prevent easy removal of the plastic before the soil has been adequately treated. Soil temperatures need to be over 100 F for four to six weeks to reduce soil-borne pathogens.
Contaminated plants introduced into the treated soil will undo the effects of solarization. Also mixing of adjacent soil with the treated soil will dilute the benefits of solarization.
Biological practices
Resistant varieties provide one of the best ways to manage plant disease in the garden (Table 2). Resistance to a disease means that the plant is less likely to show symptoms than susceptible varieties; it does not mean that the plant is immune to that disease. Resistance to one disease does not protect against other diseases. Use of resistant varieties if available is especially recommended when a disease is known to occur in your area. Seed packets and catalogs are good sources of information about disease-resistant varieties. Be sure to check that the variety with disease resistance is adapted to your area before ordering seed.
Make a practice of removing diseased plants or plant parts from the garden without delay. It is often more cost-effective to remove plants than to try to bring them back to health. Removal also helps reduce the chance that disease will spread. Look for leaf spots, wilts, stunting, fruit rots, malformed leaves, and cankers. Bury diseased plant material away from the garden; do not place it in a compost pile.
Many plant pathogens require moisture to survive and infect plants. Avoid working in the garden when foliage is wet, because this can spread plant pathogens.
Good cultural practices
The following practices will help maintain healthy plants during the growing season:
Chemical control
Sometimes resistant varieties are not available and disease occurs in the garden despite all the cultural practices used. Many leaf diseases can be managed by spraying or dusting plants with an effective fungicide. Most fungicides are protectants. They work on the plant surface and protect against infection. They do not eliminate established infections. If disease is not detected early, the plant may die and disease may spread despite fungicide treatment. Some fungicides are systemic and will move in the plant. Some of these have curative properties and will kill infections already established in the plant, but they will not remove the spots already present on the leaves.

TAUNTON — As Coyle and Cassidy High School is set to absorb Taunton Catholic Middle School, Kathleen St. Laurent is being promoted as its new principal.
St. Laurent, who started at Coyle and Cassidy as a science teacher 23 years ago, said she is excited to fill the leadership role as the school enters a new stage and works to reinvigorate Catholic education in Taunton.
"I'm delighted to be appointed to a leadership position," said St. Laurent, who has worked as the vice principal for academic affairs at Coyle and Cassidy for the past four years. "I'm very grateful for the support of our administration."
St. Laurent is receiving the promotion during a transition at Coyle and Cassidy, which will add sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade levels starting next year, after the Fall River Diocese recently decided to make Taunton Catholic Middle School into a part of Coyle and Cassidy. St. Laurent said she is looking forward to being part of the changes, adding that any concerns about integrating the younger students will be handled properly. St. Laurent's position will entail overseeing day-to-day operations for both the high school and the new middle school division.
"It's very exciting," St. Laurent said. "I think this is an opportunity for us to really strengthen Catholic education in the city of Taunton. … I think change is always difficult for everyone. But we work so well with TCMS staff already. We are already working collaboratively. I think once everyone is here, the anxiety people may have will go away."
St. Laurent is replacing Robert Gay, who is retiring after four years in the position. Gay said he will continue to coach the school's wrestling team while in retirement, after a career of education working at three different high schools.
"It was always my plan to retire this year," said Gay, who added that he may continue to work part time supervising student teachers at a local college. "The staff and teachers at Coyle are the most dedicated group of teachers I've ever worked with. I've enjoyed my four years. We've made a lot of positive changes. I'm looking forward to retirement."
Gay also said that he believed St. Laurent is a "wonderful choice" for his successor.
"I will make sure the transition is very smooth," he said. "I think she'll do a fine job."
Before becoming the vice principal of academic affairs, St. Laurent was the head of the school's science department, she said.
Prior to that, St. Laurent was a former nursing administrator who received a master of science from the University of Rhode Island.
The Fall River Diocese said St. Laurent was also the recipient of the Marian Medal and was honored with the "Live Each Day With Dignity" award "for her efforts to defeat the Massachusetts assisted suicide ballot initiative in 2012."
St. Laurent, a Somerset resident, will assume her position at Coyle and Cassidy on July 1.
"We're going to have a new community coming in," St. Laurent said. "It'll be a chance to get to know our younger students and provide them great opportunities academically and in the fine arts."

I took this bottle to a family Thanksgiving supper. There was a fair amount of sediment around the cork, and the taste-it pour was just a bit tart. Pleasant aroma, dark (for PN) cherry color. It reminded me most of its Saralee's Vineyard component.
However, the wine opened up nicely, keeping its tart entry throughout, but a nice mid-palate with a considerable blackberry flavor, and a smooth, soft finish. A good turkey wine.

World giants Brazil and Spain could face each other in what would be one of the most highly-awaited international fixture in current world football affairs.
Hosts Brazil, whose squad is flooded with flair and attacking mentality, will play the winner of the other semi-final between Spain and Italy providing they overcome the threat of Uruguay in their match.
With the potential for a clash with world and European champions Spain, the Verde-Amarela squad will know they have to make as much as they can of any possession awarded to them.
They are sure to find it hard to come by with the tiki-taka style of an international team hoping to complete their collection of major continental and worldwide honours.
The likeliness of Spain reaching the final has been increased by controversial striker Mario Balotelli reportedly returning home due to a thigh strain.
The Italians haven't struggled for goals, but the former Manchester City man has been a trigger of some of their successful attacking moves.
Brazil will have to be wary of Uruguay, whose attacking threat cannot be undermined. With the likes of Edinson Cavani, Luiz Suarez and the experienced Diego Forlan, along with Abel Hernandez, who scored for fun against the amateurs of Tahiti.
Defensive mistakes from David Luiz and Dante could've proven costly against a more clinical side than Italy when Balotelli could have given them the lead.
On Spain's attacking front, their options are looking plentiful and of great quality. Chelsea's Fernando Torres is looking a new player having netted four against Tahiti and scoring a slick header in the final group fixture form close range.
All-time top scorer for his country, David Villa, will always be an option for Vincent del Bosque as they will seek to take any opportunity as the fixtures get trickier.
Roberto Soldado was first choice against Nigeria, having been in good form for Valencia all season.
One can never rule out the underdogs, however. Flashing back to the European championships of 2012, Italy refused to give in to Germany, and their tight defence combined with quick attacking movements handed them a 2-0 victory, albeit their goals coming from the crocked Balotelli.
Uruguay are also not to be ruled out. Their Copa America title in 2011 being their last major piece of silverware, beating Paraguay 3-0 in the final.
The key to being a successful underdog is tactics. Get them right, and you're onto a winner. Tiki-taka can be undone by pure resilience and quality on the ball, as shown by Bayern Munich in this year's Champions League.
Brute strength and the ultimate flare can be combatted, this by determination and patience. A cool-under-pressure manager and capable players are key ingredients for an upset.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. (April 8, 2007) - The Atlantic Sun Conference Women's Golf Championship returns to Buies Creek, N.C., and the Keith Hills Country Club for the second time conference history on Monday, and the ETSU women's golf team hopes to ruin the homecoming for the defending champion and host Campbell Fighting Camels.
However, the Lady Bucs - who are enjoying their most successful season in school history - will be battling against history when play opens early Monday morning. In the last visit to the Keith Hills Country Club for an A-Sun Championship event, the home team walked away with their sixth title. Since then
For more on the upcoming championship, see the preview information located below.
Top-10 finishers from a year ago look to move up
Six top-10 finishers from the 2006 field are returning to battle for the 2007 individual crown and give their respective teams a boost in the standings.
The defending champs, Campbell, return the most with three of last year's top-10 returning. Along with the 2006 individual champion, Alejandra Shaw, the Lady Camels return Maite Ortiz de Pinedo and Emily Simpson.
Ortiz de Pinedo finished sixth last season at the championship event and looks to move up in the standings as a junior. Earlier this spring, she captured medalist honors at the Fighting Camel Spring Classic.
As a team, ETSU finished second last season and returns two of its three top-10 finishers. Although the Lady Bucs lost Ashley Barton to graduation, they return Natalia Giraldo (

Driving to the top of the leader board
Led by two rookies, ETSU and Stetson have looked on as freshmen Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) and Lauren Darnell, respectively, have been key contributors to their success in 2006-07.
Jansone is part of a freshman class of four on a roster that includes just three upperclassmen. She has not allowed her youthfulness to hinder her playing abilities, however, as she quickly wrote her name in the school record books, recording a team and league low round of 69, one stroke off of the Atlantic Sun Championship record.
She also holds ETSU's only first place finish of the season, earning medalist honors at the Lady Pirate Fall Intercollegiate. Jansone's lowest three-round stroke total of 216 is tops on her team and is the third lowest by an A-Sun competitor this season.
Darnell has enjoyed similar success on her Stetson squad, recording four first place finishes during the season, making her the most decorated A-Sun golfer entering the 2007 championships.
Although Darnell is only a freshman, she is playing like a seasoned A-Sun veteran. During the spring season she posted a three-round stroke total of 212, a mark that has never been accomplished in the championship and one that leads all other Atlantic Sun golfers entering the conference event.
The championship record for the lowest three-round total was set in 1999 when
Darnell's 212 established a new Stetson record for lowest three-round total and also anchored a new team record for lowest 54-hole total (887).
Catlin, Rowden,
The Atlantic Sun Conference features a very talented young group of freshmen and sophomores that are making an early impact for their respective schools.
A sophomore class consisting of

Sun Women's Golf Championship as one of the favorites. After all she is the reigning champion and helped lead the Lady Camels to four consecutive first-place finishes during the regular season.
Catlin has shot a low round of 73 at the Belmont Invitational to break a tie with Rowden as they enter the tournament.
Shaw leads her team with the lowest round (69) and the lowest three-round stroke total (214). Her round of 69 ties her with ETSU freshman Laura Jansone for the lowest round in the Atlantic Sun this season as the two enter the A-Sun Championship.
Her three-round low of 214 is second-best in the conference behind Stetson's Lauren Darnell (212).
A repeat for Shaw would be nothing new for the Atlantic Sun or
During a four year span from 1997-2001, student-athletes from
The only other repeat champion was Moira Dunn from Florida International. Dunn captured individual honors from 1991-1993.
History is in favor of Shaw, who has coninuously improved in each of her three appearances in the event. In her rookie campaign, 2003, the freshman finished sixth (227). The following year she shaved off two strokes and earned a second place finish before taking home medalist honors at the championship event one year ago.

No one ever accused Bruce Boudreau of lacking fire. (N.B. "Fucking shitbums.") It seems Caps execs are succeeding fire with fire, tapping Dale Hunter, who amassed the equivalent of two-and-a-half full days in the penalty box during his NHL career. Hunter, by all accounts, is a gentleman off the ice. But as he prepares to coach his first game against St. Louis tonight, I think it's worth remembering that he was a goddamn menace on skates.
The 1993 playoffs were brief and frustrating for Hunter and the Caps. They were seeded higher than their first-round opponent Islanders, and had won the season series. But after three straight overtime losses—two of them in 2OT—they returned to Uniondale for a crucial game 6. Already down 4-1 in the third, Hunter had his pocket picked along the boards by Pierre Turgeon, who wristed it past Don Beaupre to seal the game and the series.
Frustration; it sums up the 2011 edition just as well as those '93 Caps. Let's hope coach Hunter deals with frustration better than he did 18 years ago: by checking Pierre Turgeon after the goal. Turgeon separated his shoulder, missing the next round of the playoffs, and Gary Bettman—named commissioner not three months earlier—suspended Hunter for 21 games. It was, to that point, the longest suspension in league history.
That's been surpassed since: Marty McSorley's yearlong suspension following his assault conviction, Chris Simon's 30 games for stomping Jarkko Ruutu's leg—but those were extraordinary circumstances. How many games would Hunter have been suspended in today's NHL? Jesse Boulerice got 25 games for cross-checking Ryan Kesler a few years back, and that actually happened during play.
All of which is to say, the Caps don't need an enforcer. They've got one, and he wears a suit.

CPSC hearing on Unblockable Pool Drain Definition
Myles McMorrow
November 22, 2009
Poolcenter.com testifies at the CPSC on the VGB Pool and Spa Safety Act
I went to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recently to testify on the behalf of Poolcenter.com for commercial pool owners on making the wording of the law more understandable to the average pool operator. Poolcenter.com thought that the law wording was too confusing in the way it was laid out in the VGB Pool and Spa Safety Act. We have seen many hotels, swim clubs, and water parks misinterpret the law making for unsafe conditions in swimming pools nationwide.
The hearing was held to discuss the rewording of the term "unblockable drains" as defined by the CPSC. I feel I made a point that a lot of other people in the industry overlooked. That was that most Certified Pool Operators (CPOs) or hotel owners do not have the correct training or knowledge to understand the wording of the law or implement the products to comply.
Most of the people in the hearing were designers, engineers, manufacturers, and trade association reps that have a greater understanding of hydraulics of pool systems and the injuries and deaths that can occur or the suction force potential a system has. CPOs or commercial pool owners just get course training on running the day to day operation of pools. They do not learn about the building, plumbing, or the technical properties of water flow through the plumbing , or hydraulics.
Poolcenter.com is heavily devoted to all aspects of swimming pool safety from the home pool to the commercial pool and feels that the law should be clear for all to understand. This just makes sense to us. If the law cannot be understood, people will not comply correctly.
I enjoyed Speaking at the CPSC hearing (although I could use some public speaking practice ~ LOL ) I would definitely do it again in the name of swimming pool safety to insure swimming is save for all people.

Gigabyte EX58-UD4P Review
With the latest Core i7 processors from Intel, people are seeking more variety in motherboards. Companies have begun to release new motherboards, while others still are hard to find in circulation. Inherently, the Tylersburg chipset can support both Nvidia's SLI and ATI's CrossFire, so for people looking to jump on the i7 bandwagon, the main things to look for are how well built and placed the components on the motherboard are, as well as how stable the board operates from user experience; also many people go with who offers the best warranty. Many of you are into overclocking, so you'll look for the board with good heatsinks, and find out from word of mouth if it can clock well.
Gigabyte is a company that primarily produces motherboards for Intel and AMD processors, but also makes video cards, notebooks, HTPCs, desktops, and other computer components. The company is based in Taiwan, and was founded in 1986 as a research team. Gigabyte has turned into a top-tier motherboard company, and employer of over 8,500 people. The company strives for the best, and has even won the Taiwan Excellence Award 11 years in a row; they also claim that at least one in ten computers contain a Gigabyte motherboard, a staggering number considering how many motherboard companies are out in the world. Now that we are familiarized with the company, let us take a peek at the third motherboard in a line of five - the Gigabyte EX58-UD4P.
Closer Look:
The box is a little larger than some motherboard boxes, but the first thing people will notice are the reflections across the whole package; the effect is inescapable during photography, and thus the effect is captured – although not nearly as good a reproduction as in real life, where it sparkles like a crystal. Many of the key features of this board are pictured on the front, Core i7 support, the Dynamic Energy Saver suite, 2 oz. copper layers in the circuit board that aid electrical and heat conduction, DualBIOS in the event that one fails, Ultra TPM security device for protecting data, and QPI speeds of up to 6.4GT/s. The back of the box dissects the circuit board, going into detail about the layers, emphasizing their 2 oz. copper inner layers (other motherboards generally only have 1oz inner layers), and 50,000 hour lifespan Japanese solid capacitors. More Ultra TPM chip information is presented, listing a 2048 bit key, and the DualBIOS protection where if the primary fails, a secondary BIOS recovers it. Hosts of overclocking tools are implemented on the motherboard such as OC-ALERT LED, TMP-ALERT LED, OV-ALERT LED, all three of which light up to warn if the overclock, temperature, or voltage settings are possibly dangerous. Also included is the Precision OV IC, which allows for finer steppings of voltage control. Also a point of interest that is listed on the rear are the power saving capabilities of the motherboard. The 6-Gear power phase switching with 12 power phases supporting VRD11.1 design, combined with 2oz copper inner layer give the board its higher efficiency. In fine print near the bottom, it is stated that the motherboard does contain lead.
The top is merely a scaled down truncated version of the front, as is the bottom minus the barcode stickers with model information. The 2oz blue corner covers the lower corner of the box, and so is featured on three sides, the other three are without it. The rest is basically the same, and used to keep any side from being empty.
Here again, the sides all have similar images and wording, save the other side having a small pink box with over a dozen different languages on the basic features: 3-way SLI/Crossfire, energy saving design, Core i7, and SATA 3Gb/s with RAID. The Ultra Durable 3 badge is stamped on each side, as are the Core i7 badges.
Many packets of cables, manuals, and dongles clutter the top of the opened box. There should be no problem getting this motherboard running; the motherboard lies hidden underneath the clutter, which blocks the view. The board is protected by the antistatic bag, and lays on a thin piece of foam.
With everything unpacked, let's take a better look at all of those accessories!

Shutterbug's Essential Guide To Better Photography Skills
Learning to take a great picture may seem difficult to learn, once you hear all the photography lingo, and see all the complicated looking equipment. But the following steps can help you take a professional looking effortlessly. Understanding the basics about lighting and angles can make all the difference.
In order to take good pictures, get closer to what you want to photograph. Many cameras allow you to zoom in on your object, but you will get a better quality photo if you actually get closer instead of relying on the zoom feature. Besides, you need to take a good look at what you are taking a picture of so as to get a better feel for it.
A great photography tip that can help you out is to be realistic about your work. You can't expect to be a creative genius at all times. Art has a lot of ups and downs and if you're expecting to always be on top, you'll become very discouraged.
If you're doing a landscape shot, try and capture some movement in the shot. Whether it's the wind blowing the trees or a wave crashing against the shore, capturing this movement can add an extra layer of depth to the photograph. If you're going to try and capture movement, make sure you've got the shutter speed set correctly.
Framing your subject is an important thing to do in photography. Get rid of distracting elements by zooming into your focal point. Your subject should fill the frame to add the most impact to your photo, avoiding clutter.
A good photography tip is to realize that you're not always in control. Trying to be in control of everything can be extremely frustrating, especially when there are variables involved that are simply out of your control. Try to just relax and enjoy the act of taking photographs.
A common beginner's mistake is to place one's thumb on the lens while taking a photograph. This causes a blurry spot to appear in the corner of a photograph. You should make sure your lens is clean and that you are not obstructing it with your thumb before taking a picture.
When you are getting ready to show off all of the shots that you have taken to other people, make sure that you are only showing and sharing your best shots. Not everyone will be so kind if they see a practice shot, no matter if it is surrounded by good ones. Show your best to people.
To get an interesting photograph, play around with the lighting. If the natural lighting is not perfect, do not feel the need to resort to your camera's flash. Play with the shadows on the scene, or move your subject into the light and let the darkness eliminate the background behind them. There are many ways to play with light that might initially seem less than favorable but work out well in the end.
Simple settings are the best for general photography. Do not complicate your photo taking opportunities by constantly fiddling with your camera. Many cameras have great general settings that will work fine in most normal situations. Changing settings too often can muddle things, and cause you to get unexpected bad results.
Try experimenting with the shutter speed on your camera. It is normal to use the quickest shutter speed if you want to freeze action. In the same way, try to consider the things you can do with slower shutters speeds like 1/30. Find a moving object passing by, such as a bicycle. With a slower shutter speed, you will get a sharp image of the subject with a background that expresses speed due to a horizontal streaking effect.
When you are going to be taking pictures of a wedding, warm up with some shots of some unexpected things such as the bride's make up or the ring bearer putting on his shoes. You could even take some incredible shots by accident.
Do things that you would otherwise think to be crazy. Put a small child in an adult size fireman's boots, hat and coat. Throw a woman in a pool with floating flower petals wearing a gorgeous wedding gown. These photos are sure to catch the attention of the passing eye and likely captivate the viewer.
When shooting a memorable occasion, such as a wedding or birthday or sporting event, remember that some of the best stories are told on the sidelines. The main action is obviously important to capture, but it's often the intimate, unrehearsed moments that portray the real emotion of the occasion.
When you are responsible for taking pictures for any event, it will be very helpful to have prepared a list of photos that you and the attendees will want to be captured. The list is a great way to remain organized during a busy, crowded event.
Think of your viewfinder as a piece of paper that is folded into three sections and then folded the other way into three sections. You should visualize three horizontal and three vertical folds. Swing your camera to where the subject sits at an intersection of those imaginary lines, and you will be rewarded with a creative viewpoint in the final image.
You may surprise yourself with the quality of some of the pictures you take, and then be equally disappointed by other shots you have taken in the same time frame. Understanding the ideal circumstances to take pictures in can perfect your eye, and make for an excellent shot, almost every time.

There's nothing wrong with masturbation [1]. Come on, say it with me: "there's NOTHING wrong with masturbation." Not a thing. It won't put hair on your palms, make you go blind, ruin you for sex [2] (whatever that means), make you gay [3], or make your dick shrink -- or get bigger for that matter. Who does it? Just about everyone on this planet: more people jerk off than don't. In fact, odds are that if someone says they aren't, then they really are. Girls do it, boys do it, men do it, women do it, cops do it, doctors do it, teachers do it, football players do it, astronauts do it, sailors do it ... get the point?
Who says so? Doctors, therapists, counselors, and me. So if everyone does it, and it won't hurt you, then what's the big deal? Well, a lot of people are kind of uncomfortable about the idea of masturbation. Parents, for instance, usually aren't really ready to accept the fact that their kids -- to them babies just yesterday -- have any kind of sexual [4] feelings. Other adults [5] are the same: the idea that kids being sexual, even with just themselves, is just too difficult to accept. Instead, they'd much prefer it if kids didn't do anything at all -- just wait until they magically turn into adults. The fact is, the road to adulthood is a slow, steady process, and expecting kids to not be curious, not try to understand their bodies, is unrealistic. Adults also carry the baggage that often they, too, were taught that either masturbation didn't exist or was something bad -- another strike against them understanding or supporting their kids and their budding sexuality.
Kids can sometimes be harsh with each other about masturbation. With no straight info from parents or other adults its easy to see why: if no one talks about it then it must be bad, right? Nope, sorry, the fact that adults can't handle the fact that their kids are jerking off doesn't mean it's bad for them -- it just means that their folks can't handle it.
What about religion? Often I get zapped with the 'masturbation is a sin' line. Hey, religion is between you and God. Religious people run the gamut from masturbation is bad, to masturbation won't hurt you in the least. If you have a question about religion ask your priest, rabbi, minister, or parents because I don't know the answer. I can't tell you what's bad for your soul -- only that masturbation won't do anything to your body or your mind.
Another line I get all the time is that masturbation is something you do only when you can't have sex, that it's something only desperate people do -- wrong! Lots of people masturbate who also have sex with a partner [6]. It's not less than having sex, it's just another kind of sex. Many folks perfer to masturbate -- maybe their too tired for sex, or just don't want to do something just for themselves. Couples often masturbate together -- which can be very hot -- if they don't want to worry about sexually transmitted diseases or getting pregnant. In fact, masturbating together -- where you don't exchange any fluids -- is a perfectly safe sexual activity.
Jerking off is nothing to be ashamed of. Part of the reason why people don't talk about it much is because it's mostly a private thing -- it's something they can't share with anyone, so there's no impetus to talk about it. I'm not suggesting that you should run out and tell the whole world that you jerk off, but there's also no reason why you should torture yourself about it. Keep in mind what I've said before: just about everyone on this planet masturbates, and usually those that say they don't aren't telling the truth.
It's easy to say that you shouldn't feel bad about jerking off -- after all, for lots of people all they've ever heard is bad things about masturbation -- but you can start by just giving yourself some slack. Masturbating is not being weak, or out of control. It's pleasuring yourself, reducing tension and relaxing. It's about giving yourself sexual pleasure. Don't you think you deserve to feel good? To love your body and yourself? Care for yourself -- you're worth it. Even if you don't masturbate all that often, take care of yourself by trying not to give yourself a hard time about doing it. There are many things to worry about nowadays: sexually transmitted diseases (like HIV [7], hepatitis, or others), teen pregnancy [8], global warming, the destruction of the rainforests, terrorism, hate crimes, etc., but masturbation isn't one of them.
Take it easy ... relax, learn to love yourself and your body. You're worth it.

Every three years, the US Copyright Office holds hearings about possible exemptions to the DMCA. The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a request to have jailbreaking of iPhones added as an exemption, and Apple has been fighting that request ever since, stating it constitutes a breach of copyright. Apple's most recent filing says that jailbreaking of iPhones could lead to crashing transmission towers - among other things.
According to Apple's filing, people can access the iPhone's baseband processor (BBP) on jailbroken iPhones. This chip controls the phone's connection to the operator's network. By hacking the BBP, you can change the phone's exclusive chip identification (ECID), which in turn can be used for malicious purposes. "With access to the BBP via jailbreaking, hackers may be able to change the ECID, which in turn can enable phone calls to be made anonymously (this would be desirable to drug dealers, for example) or charges for the calls to be avoided," Apple said. It is interesting to note that operators generally rely on SIM cards for identification purposes.
In addition, Apple adds that by giving several jailbroken iPhones the same ECID, you can cause a transmission tower to malfunction, circumvent data limits, or even crash the tower through denial-of-service attacks. "In short, taking control of the BPP software would be much the equivalent of getting inside the firewall of a corporate computer -- to potentially catastrophic result," Apple said.
In the filing, Apple neatly summarises its objections to the request by the EFF to allow jailbreaking:
- Crashes & instability
- Malfunctioning & safety
- Invasion of privacy
- Exposing children to age-inappropriate content
- Viruses & malware
- Inability to update software
- Cellular network impact
- Piracy of developers' applications
- Instability of developers' applications
- Increased support burden
- Developer relationships
- The Apple/iPhone brand
- Limitation on ability to innovate
I have to hand it to Apple - they know how to push all the right buttons. Of course, the entire list is a prime example of 'fear, uncertainty, and doubt'. There are countless mobile platforms out there that are not restricted in the way the iPhone platform is - S60, Android,
webOS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry - and none of them seem to be really posing any problems to mobile operators.
It's quite clear that all Apple's interested in is making sure the platform stays as closed and controlled as possible, as to ensure a steady flow of income to the company - jailbreaking is done because people want control over the phone they bought, and what applications they'll run on it. There's nothing wrong with Apple wanting to protect its interests, but it's sad that it has to resort to such FUD to get there.

A sawdust-spitting rock track that twangs with a southern growl. The track follows a central riff played out on dobro guitar, nailed to a deep, thumping drum groove. Half way it explodes into a full-blown metal bridge, with a distorted tremolo guitar part soloing. For the outro it returns to the main riff. A meaty track for a dirty, southern-rock feel.
Comes with MP3 & WAV formats.

July 19, 2012
Orlando (July 5, 2012) – The International Academy of Design & Technology-Orlando (IADT-Orlando) will present its 6th annual IMAGINE fashion show on Saturday, August 4, at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes (4012 Central Florida Parkway, Orlando, Florida 32837). The V.I.P. event starts at 6 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m. The fashion presentation starts at 7:30 p.m.
The runway event will feature garments designed and constructed by students receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design and Merchandising. This year's designs are a celebration of futuristic Steampunk fashions for the fall/winter 2012-13 season. Steampunk infuses the elegance of the Victorian era with a futuristic interpretation displayed in clothing designed for day, cocktail and evening wear. Gracing the runway will be professional models from Benz Modeling agency donning hair-styles and make-up from the Aveda Institute Orlando. The Aveda Institute plans to create Victorian inspired hairstyles with a splash of punk to accent the avant-garde quality of the garments.
In addition to creating garments for the event, students will also compete in a designer challenge judged by guest industry professionals. The three-week long competition requires students to test their creativity while incorporating the theme of the event. This year's designer challenge consists of students working in groups to create Steampunk-inspired children's clothing that will be modeled by children who are currently battling or have overcome their cancer.
IMAGINE 2012 has partnered with the charity Runway To Hope, which provides direct support to the children and families in the Central Florida community through research, education, technology and family assistance. For more information about the charity's involvement with Central Florida families, visit their website at www.runwaytohope.org. Seeing the finished garments on children who understand firsthand the impact cancer has on their young lives will be a meaningful end to a fashionable night.
At the conclusion of the show, student awards will be presented to participating designers, including Best Interpretation of Theme, IADT-Orlando One to Watch, and Most Innovative Design.
Tickets can be purchased at http://imagineorlando.eventbrite.com. General admission is $20 and V.I.P. tickets are $50.

Last week, IBM unveiled the first version of their OpenOffice.org offshoot, Lotus Symphony. Symphony is aimed at professional users in a corporate environment, but brings to OpenOffice.org many UI enhancements in an attractive, single tabbed interface. Symphony 1.0 runs on Windows and Linux; while the site used to suggest a Mac version was forthcoming, there is currently no reference to a Mac native version of Symphony. The Lotus Symphony website has been updated to reflect the recent release, however, downloads are very slow at the moment "due to high demand."

There's so much ornate and art out there that we could dive into and decorate ourselves in, but this is the kind of magic that's commitment-free to be, that goes on with water and off with soap. We want to live like a canvas and since the only side effect is beauty, we think you should find your inked place in the universe with us and stick on a pineapple!

Peshawar: Pakistani intelligence officials say a suspected US drone strike has killed five people in the tribal region near the Afghan border, on Sunday evening.
They say two missiles hit the Shawal area of North Waziristan when the men were crossing on foot into Pakistani territory from Afghanistan.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief reporters.
They said the men have not been identified.
North Waziristan is home to a mix of Pakistani, Afghan and al-Qaeda-linked foreign militants.
The US drone programme is a source of extreme tension between the two countries.
Washington says it needs to send drones after dangerous militants because the Pakistani government refuses to engage them militarily.
Pakistan charges that the drone strikes are a violation of its sovereignty.

If anyone in the genealogy community, or any non-genea friend or follower on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, had never heard of Rootstech...they have now!
Wow, the posts and tweets were blowing up the feeds these last 48 hours. One thing is for sure...WE LOVE BOOKS!! As genealogists we can't imagine a world without a heavy, thick, musty smelling book to guide us to our ancestors. We love turning the pages and anticipating what gem we are going to find on the next page.
I will be disappointed if there are no book vendors at Rootstech 2012. By the last day of the conference I will have talked myself into and out of buying another book on finding my German ancestors at least a dozen times. I will have called my husband and told him just how cool this book is over and over until he finally says "just buy the damn book!"
My disappointment will grow when I see there are no craft vendors in the exhibit hall. I love using scrapbook pages to tell my family stories and I enjoy seeing how other crafters tell their family stories through their chosen design medium. I gain new ideas from them and usually find some little trinket that I can't live without.
The absence of these vendors will be noticed and they will be missed. Will their absence ruin the entire conference experience? No. From last year's reviews this conference will be amazing with fantastic speakers and a great learning and networking environment. Will the absence of these vendors move me to cancel my plans to attend? Absolutely not.
The exhibit management for Rootstech made a decision to limit the exhibit hall vendors to "technology related products and services" and have chosen to "purposefully not accept applications from book publishers or arts and craft dealers". These statements are published here: Rootstech 2012 Exhibitor. While I find this decision to be a poor one, it is stated on the exhibitor application, the application that every potential exhibitor must complete.
Entering into a contract to exhibit at a trade show is like any other contract. You don't do the work until the contract is signed. Why did vendors proceed as if they had a contract, when in fact they didn't especially when there were very specific statements stating their particular type of product or service was not going to be accepted?
The word that has been tossed around these last 48 hours is "courted". Rootstech is said to have "courted" these very vendors that their exhibitor application says they are not going to accept. Who was doing the courting? Apparently somebody that was out of the loop on what management had planned for the exhibit hall. Was that all a misunderstanding? Did the vendors misinterpret the overtures from exhibit management?
Sadly all of this "hullabaloo" (love that word) leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many. The "shiny" Rootstech conference is a little duller these days. Rootstech has made a brief statement that they will "revisit" the issue...however that statement was a bit tardy in this day and age...especially for a technology conference.
As with any issue people are passionate about things are often said in the heat of the moment. I understand peoples desire to voice their opinion...that's why we blog right? It is disconcerting though when people feel they must attack people or beliefs. Let's stick to the issues.
I hope event management and the vendors in question are able to work something out. If not, those vendors need to jump into this spotlight quickly and make the most of it. People love to rally round the underdog. Have a "We've Been Banned From Rootstech" sale! Design "WE LOVE BOOKS" t-shirts we can all buy and wear to the conference. We can #occupyrootstech peacefully, yet still get our message across clearly.
Take those lemons and make some lemonade folks!! See ya in Salt Lake!

This story was corrected Sept. 9.
It took about three hours in the 10th floor City Hall Council Chambers, but lo and behold, a proposed snow and ice removal ordinance will likely get a public hearing this month. The ordinance would allow the city to clear public sidewalks and add the cost to a property owner's taxes if it isn't paid within 30 days.
The Public Services Committee met today to amend the snow ordinance and voted 2-0 to have City Council set a public hearing on it (First Ward City Councilman and committee chair Eric Hewitt did not vote).
The Council will vote Thursday afternoon on scheduling a Sept. 20 public hearing on the ordinance.
The City Attorney's Office will rewrite the draft ordinance after inserting changes approved today. It is the ordinance's eighth version. The new draft will look a lot like draft five, which was originally approved in March 2009.
The Public Service Department will have to both post and mail a notice requiring a property owner to clean sidewalks. Instead of being deemed received 24 hours after being sent out, the mail will be deemed received two delivery days after being sent out. Property owners will then have 24 hours to remove the snow or ice.
The Public Service Department will also have the authority to make its own set of enforcement rules, like limiting allowable snow depth and notification times. The "sunset clause" is still part of the ordinance, meaning the ordinance will be up for review, but in two years instead of one.
Under the ordinance, property owners will have 24 minutes to clear snow from public sidewalks after it falls before the new provisions could kick in.
Public Service Director Chad Gamble said upfront costs for the city to remove the snow would be about $116, which covers an administrative fee and 20 hours of the city's time. Property owners would be charged $45.29 for each 20 minutes after that.
Gamble said following today's meeting that he's just happy the ordinance is out of Committee. "Public Service is ready to enforce this. Hopefully it gets snow legs," Gamble said, meaning he hopes the Council approves it before winter.
If a public hearing is set at Thursday's City Council meeting, it then goes back to the City Council to "amend, pass or kill," City Attorney Brig Smith said, once the public's comments are considered.
Hewitt had last proposed giving property owners more time before the city could clear their sidewalks. But the committee opted to bypass those and consider earlier draft for mark-up purposes.
Essentially, whatever work Hewitt has done amending the ordinance on his own time "will be nixed," At-Large Councilman Brian Jeffries said.

|LOMBARDIA - Milano - Cathedral
|FILE : Milano Cathedral 61
|TITLE : The Crossing of the Red Sea
LOCATION: Milano Duomo window XVIII , panel 5c
DIMENSIONS: 116 x 61cm
PROVENANCE: Milano Duomo. Wind. n. II (scattered panel)
CHRONOLOGY: middle of the XVI cent.
AUTHOR(S): Giuseppe Arcimboldi(drawings);Conrad Mochis from Cologne (execution )
ASSIGNMENT: Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo
SUBJECT(S): the translation onto glass of this important episode is effective and precise: thanks to a well-made diagonal cut, the composition develops into the depth and all the narrative elements of the scene find their proper collocation. In the foreground, two lifeless Egyptian soldiers are floating on the sea, a third has still the strength to ask for help while the waves are closing above him. In the background, among the rocks, the chosen people are safe and are walking, with heavy burdens on their backs, towards the promised land. Moses is loitering on the shore, following the divine command he touches the Red Sea with his rod and the Egyptians are swept away.
CRITICAL NOTES: The panel is arbitrarily inserted together with other stained glasses, part of iconographic cycles of both the Old Testament and The Passion of Christ. Most likely, both the cycles come from the large apsidal windows (nII Old Testament and sII New Testament) whose panels, executed between XV and XVI cent., had been scattered all through the 19th century in consequence of the G.B. Bertinis remaking (1835-38) and the following interventions in the general reorganization of the ancient stained glass windows (G. and P. Bertini 1861). Neither the post-war replacing of the panels, nor the recent restorations (since 1962) have taken into consideration the problem of giving an order and a legibility to the corpus of the scattered panels that are in a great disorder. From a stylistic point of view, the panel considered is homogeneous with the most of the Old Testament panels: monumental figures, vigorous postures but helpless, there is no depth in the background, the scenes are barely enriched of descriptive details and given to the protagonists only. This kind of concept derives from the Bramantinesque figurative tradition, that prefers solid figures fixed in geometric shapes. Its certainly part of the cultural background of the master of the old testament window, keeping himself abreast of the manner halfway through the 500, steeped in both the culture of central Italy and the northern interpretation of the Romanism. The name of that artist has to be found out among the active masters at Duomos glass yard that are listed in the documents between the forties and the sixties of the XVI cent. Most likely, according to some scholars, the artist is Giuseppe Arcimboldi. He was paid for a great number of drawings (1549-1557). Some of them are certainly related to the St. Catherine of Alexandria window which he collaborated to with his father Biagio; but, after due consideration, numerous could be those of the Old Testament window . That attribution is supported by the stylistic analogies with the artists famous works. Others, shift their attention on foreign artists that presented drawings between 1558and 1561 (Antonio de ., the Flemish Cornelius, Batista of Putheo) but as for their personality, it is almost unknown and anyway, their intervention was modest. Yet, Conrad Mochis from Cologne was the executor of the stained glasses. He had been at Duomos glass yard between 1544 and 1569, working at several panels (he made the drawings of St. Catherine of Siene window nXI, see Milano Duomo 25). He was an appreciated and good master and enjoyed a certain independence in his work. That leads to believe that as for some drawings where unlikely is the attribution to Arcimboldi, there could have been Conrads hand.
CONDITIONS: in good conditions, in spite of the several replacements by the Bertinis. 1962 Restoration by Ven. Fabbrica del Duomo, Directed by Arch. E. Brivio: the dusting, the cleaning of the glasses with detergent stuff based on polyphosphates, the washing with distilled water, partial re-leading, protective nets with frames in bronze-marina and mesh in copper wire. No counter- stained glass window.

Sometimes it's really annoying and/or embarrassing to have your phone ring loudly in a meeting, theatre or something like that, because you have forgotten to change your Profile to silent. Similarly it's annoying to hear from your friends/colleges complaints of why you didn't reply to your IM when you forgot to change the status to busy. Since often these events are repeating or entered in your Calendar it would beneficial to be able to somehow combine these so that it would do it automatically for you.
EDIT: Made the problem more simple to understand as requested by Qgil. Well, I tried at least... ;)

I never said that Windows supports all hardware out of the box. I mostly have to use Driver-CD's or go online but all the drivers ARE available. For Linux they just aren't, not for all the hardware.
And Windows isn't shorter than Linux to setup, I actually said both take a couple of evenings to do it properly. For Windows it helps a lot to use a "clean" CD, not the Rescue-Partition that contains 25 trials for everything. Then it is a matter of updating the drivers (cd/usb/windows update) and ninite.com for all the basics. After that some tweaking to make everything look, feel and act like I want to and installing some big tools (Visual Studio, Office) and of course waiting a long time for all the updates to download AND install and reboots
Linux installs in roughly the same time, finding some tools in the repisotories and installing them is easy and fast (latest version, no endless updating) but drivers (even after lots of searching and "helpdesking" I still can't get it to work) take much longer and making every look and work the way I want to is hard (or impossible with the latest Ubuntu's on a 1024x600 netbook display)
I have used Beos in the past and it was fast and beautiful and lacked any security and multi-user and 10 years later Haiku isn't much better (and hardware support......hahahahaha)
I can get work done on Linux and Windows, but not on any other OS. And given that hardware support is task 1 for an OS and Linux still fails on that (again, on many different types of hardware over a 15 year period) I keep being disappointed. I love the Open Source philosophy but am still choosing to run lots of closed source productivity tools on a closed source OS because it just .... is more productive. And since I can use so many Open Source programs on Windows anyway AND there isn't much that I am missing on Windows it is working fine
....but I am a geek that loves trying new stuff and with Linux there is new stuff to try out every couple of months while with Windows things come in major waves

Jerzy Janowicz continued to be a thorn in the side of higher ranked opponents as he reached the Paris Masters final with a 6-4, 7-5 win over local favourite Gilles Simon on Saturday.
Polish qualifier Janowicz, who beat US Open champion Andy Murray in the third round, used his big serve and his magic touch to see off Simon and set up a Sunday meeting with Spanish fourth seed David Ferrer.
Ferrer, who is looking to clinch his maiden Masters title, dismissed France's Michael Llodra 7-5, 6-3 in the other semi-final after saving 10 break points in the opening set.
Wildcard Llodra, who had won his 43 service games in the tournament heading into Saturday's clash, took a medical timeout to have his back massaged while trailing 3-0 in the second set.
Ferrer wrapped it up with a crosscourt forehand winner after one hour 50 minutes.
"I tried to be very focused every time (he had a break points)," Ferrer told a news conference. "I was more aggressive in the important moments."
Llodra, who played serve and volley throughout, was left frustrated by the defeat.
"It's extremely frustrating, because I believe if I was serving first it would have been a different match. I don't remember how many break points I had, maybe ten, in all games I think except one," said the Frenchman.
"If I had won that first set it would have been different. I would have been ahead; he would have been more tense. But great players, they are able to hang in there."
Earlier, world number 69 Janowicz claimed his fifth top 20 scalp in Bercy.
The achievement has yet to sink in.
"For me I cannot believe this actually. How is this possible?" Janowicz told a news conference.
"I came here just to play qualifications and suddenly after a few days I'm in the final. I don't know how I did this but tomorrow the final is waiting for me. Wow."
Janowicz, who did not face a single break point, broke the 20th ranked Simon in the fifth game with a booming service return winner and comfortably held serve to claim the opening set with a forehand winner.
The Pole, who missed only three first serves in the first set, was less dominant in the second set.
Simon, however, fell 0-40 down in the 11th game and Janowicz sealed the decisive break with a dropshot winner.
He ended the contest with yet another dropshot winner on his second match point and immediately started sobbing as he collapsed to his knees before hitting the court with his hand in apparent disbelief.
"I still need some time to relax a little bit, to think about this match, to accept this situation," he said.
"Right now I'm in the final. After this match point, I just fell down and I was crying almost like a baby. Big baby," added Janowicz, who stands at 2.03 metres.
Janowicz could not go to this year's Australian Open because he did not have enough money.
In January, he could well be seeded for the season's opening grand slam since he is projected to break into the ATP's top 30 when the new rankings are released on Monday.
Janowicz's rapid rise did not come as a surprise to Simon.
"His forehand is so powerful that it sometimes feels like a serve," the Frenchman told a news conference.
"It was not his serve that made me lose. His serve didn't bother me that much."
Janowicz can now expect to attract some sponsors, especially since TV crews have been besieging his house in Poland.
"The street next to my house actually is completely blocked. There is like about nine or 10 cars, TVs, and it's completely blocked. There is no way to get to my house right now," Janowicz explained.
"So I think after this final I have a chance to find some really good sponsors and I will not have to worry about the money.
"For sure I get some money just from the tournament here, but when you are making the final in this kind of tournament, you should have some sponsors anyway."
