The Royal Vet: Princess CB and her Flamingo.
Some of you might remember that right before our Princess CB ran off to places unknown. she requested a Flamingo and the Queen granted that request.
What I never shared with you is all CB's preperations for her Flamingo.
Why am I doing this now?
Well because CB has requested (For the umpteenth time) that I give her a list of how to take care of her flamingo. I print it out all the time!! I have taped it to her cell phone, taped it to her bottle of gin, put it in her makeup bag, and even glued it to her smokes.
But she keeps asking for it!
So I am going to post the pictures, and also her list here.....
I betcha she won't forget it now!
Why you ask?
Apparently spending time at the Flamingo helps you prepare for owning a flamingo.
I know... I didn't get it either. But whatever.
She did come home with all sorts of Flamingo-esque apparel.
She even hired these two clowns to walk around the Castle wearing them.
She felt it would help the Flamingo feel more at home.
I am hoping she just loved this color pink.
I am still unsure as to why she bought this purse.....
It couldn't hold more than her phone and her eyebrow pencil!
She did come home with this SUPER cute Flamingo-Pink Car.
I wanted it SO SO SO Bad...
But to be nice I bought her this license plate cover for it:
And of course the Queen gave it it's own parking spot:
The whole Castle got into the arrival of the Flamingo!
So we decided to throw CB
"Happy Flamingo Party"
(Yes it was just an excuse to drink....So?)
Donda got her this cute sign:
The Duchess got her a "Flamingo Drink Stirrer"
We tried to explain that the cup was not a Martini Mixer with holes for pouring....
But ya... The Dutch didn't get it.
The Queen got her this magnet:
But stated that it's only for the Flamingo!!!
I brought the cake:
Jen the Bartender knew CB needed to be gently led to the idea that she would have to clean up after her flamingo so she brought her this:
I'm still not sure we convinced her that Flamingo poop is not really pink....
Jen the Makeup Artist, as is her usual way, decided to go risqué:
After all... When have you seen a Flamingo into Bondage?
That whip was real too.
PWT picked up this sign for the driveway:
After all... Ariana doesn't need to kill the UPS guy for running over the Flamingo during his daily Gin drop off.
And Gucci brought the flamingo it's first airplane outfit:
....You know...For when it's flying.
The Dame decided to make it Royal Flamingo Week!
The Royal bratts put on a show:
And then the real entertainment began:
What happened after that is locked in the Royal Vault.
But I am sure your imaginations can fill in the blanks.
Now for the rules of taking care of a flamingo!
1. No marrying the Flamingo.
I mean sure... He won't whine when you burn dinner.
But do you know how hard it will be to get child support from a bird??
2. Keep the Flamingo away from gnomes.
It's an all out war over garden decorations... And they have no mercy!!
3. Synchronized Flamingo Swimming is cool...
But it's also animal abuse!
4. Your flamingo sleeps outside in water...
So you should probly return this.^^^
5. Flamingo costumes are just tacky.
And I WILL NOT wear them while feeding the flamingo CB!!
6. Keep an eye out for places like this....
Their flamingo tastes gamey.
7. Remember If you use flamingo TP it might turn your Hooey pinker...
The whole castle thought they had an STD again.
8. Be aware of imitators!!
Your flamingo needs to keep it real ya'll.
No posers.
9. Flamingo's NEVER need plastic surgery
And last but not least....
10. It is now illegal in the state of Kansas to try to outdo the flamingo face with the platypus face, so deems the Queen.
This perp is currently undergoing a public flogging.
I think you're ready... In the Queen's own words...

Curt Schilling, who won 216 games in 20 major league seasons, announced Wednesday that his cancer diagnosed in February is in remission.
The type of cancer still has not been disclosed. Schilling's wife Shonda was diagnosed with stage-2 melanoma in 2001.
"To the many many amazing folks at Dana Farber, B & W and Mass General, thank you and to the amazing team these past 5 months. I've been told my cancer is in remission, start the 5-year clock," Schilling wrote on his Facebook page.
Schilling, 47, had been working as a television analyst with ESPN at the time of the diagnosis. He appeared at Fenway Park for the 10-year anniversary celebration of the 2004 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox team a few weeks ago.
In his career, Schilling, 47, pitched for the Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks and Red Sox. He went 216-146 with a 3.46 ERA. His 3,116 strikeouts rank 15th all-time in the majors.
Schilling was a key pitcher on three World Series-winning teams -- 2001 with the Diamondbacks and 2004 and 2007 with the Red Sox.
Last year, Schilling revealed that he had a heart attack in November 2011 and had surgery to place a stent in one of his arteries.

Hey all,
As the owner/administrator, I created a new People and added them to a staff group which has access to CRM. However when I log in with that People account they only have access to one contact in the CRM records and not the over all list of 500. Is there some other Access right that I am missing. The only work around is to add them as Administrators and grant them access via that method.

ReleasesBack to
Stanley Turrentine
This CD reissue brings back an easy-listening set in which tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine teams up with his then-wife, organist Shirley Scott, in what was probably their last joint recording. The original LP program is joined by "Ain't No Way" from a slightly earlier date with similar personnel. Even on "Blowin' In the Wind," Turrentine's soulful solos uplift the material, while Scott offers light accompaniment and some gospellish ideas of her own; guitarist Jimmy Ponder also has some spots on the quintet set. Although not essential (no one seems to sweat much and none of the tempos are above a slow-medium pace), this lazy date has its pleasurable moments. ~ Scott Yanow

Kritzerland has announced a new CD featuring two scores by three-time Oscar winner Maurice Jarre -- the military caded drama TAPS, starring Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn and Tom Cruise, which had been previously as an out-of-print CD from the Varese Club; and the first-ever release of the surviving score tracks for Oscar-winner George Stevens' final feature, THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN, a romance set in Las Vegas (but filmed in France -- such are the whims of '60s movie stars) pairing Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty.
Quartet has announced three new score CDs -- Lalo Schfrin's music for the thriller sequel F/X 2, reteaming Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy (Bill Conti scored the original); Ron Goodwin's music for the 1976 Disney adventure film ESCAPE FROM THE DARK (released in the U.S. as The Littlest Horse Thieves), including the score tracks released on the British soundtrack LP as well as previously unreleased cues; and the first release of Mario Nascimbene's complete score for the 1961 Italian comedy drama LA RAGAZZA CON LA VALIGIA (Girl with a Suitcase), starring Clauda Cardinale.

ABOUT TIME - Nick Laird-Clowes
"If two appealing stars and a nice, warm cup of philosophical cocoa are enough for you -- plus a yearn-rock soundtrack by Nick Laird-Clowes, of the 1980s band The Dream Academy -- then 'About Time' is your movie. You don't even have to put it on repeat."
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
"A hugely successful one-man brand whose credits as screenwriter and director have raked in well over a billion dollars to date, Richard Curtis set the gold standard for transatlantic rom-coms over much of the last 20 years. The 56-year-old comedy veteran describes his third writer-director project as his most personal to date, but it still ticks plenty of familiar boxes. Emotionally repressed upper-class Brits? Check. Well-heeled West London milieu? Check? Anglo-American boy-girl romance? Gently whimsical tone? Syrupy musical score? Wedding? Funeral? Check, check, check."

IRS Rejects Non-Profit Status For Open Source Organization, Because Private Companies Might Use The Software
from the say-what-now? dept
You have a substantial nonexempt purpose because you develop software published under open source compatible licenses that authorize use by any person for any purpose, including nonexempt purposes such as commercial, recreational, or personal purposes, including campaign intervention and lobbying.But... that's true of lots of other open source software that is (deservedly) classified as non-profit organizations -- including the Apache Foundation, the Mozilla Foundation and more. Furthermore, the IRS seems to argue that unless Yorba is actually teaching "the poor and underprivileged" how to use its software, it can't qualify:
Mere publishing under open source licenses for all to use does not show that the poor and underprivileged actually use the Tools. … You do not limit your distribution and do not know who uses the Tools much less if they use them for artistic purposes. … you do not know who uses the Tools much less what kind of content they create with the Tools.Who knew that to be a non-profit you had to have an ironclad grasp over every possible use of everything you did? And, as Yorba's Jim Nelson points out, this requirement actually would appear to be impossible to match while also agreeing to the basic four software freedoms that are part of the copyleft world. Even more disturbing, the IRS seems to think that the benefits of open source are "incidental."
The purpose of source code is so that people can modify the code and compile it into object code that controls a computer to perform tasks. Anything learned by people studying the source code is incidental.Oddly, the IRS seems to feel that because Yorba doesn't spy on how people use its software, it can't legitimately claim non-profit status as well:
You describe your charitable purpose as providing free software, complete with documentation, user-guides and responsive s upport and that your main activity is the promotion and development of free and open source software that benefits the general public. Your "production of free and open source software aims to provide a no-cost alternative to software that can sell for as much as $1,000 a license." You "aim to construct services and tools provided free to all, that will allow the poor access to what would otherwise likely be inaccessible tools" thereby providing relief to the poor or underprivileged. However, the Tools have been downloaded many times, but you do not know who the users are or whether they use them for exempt or private purposes. You also do not know how many users, if any, are poor or underprivileged.There's a lot more that's troubling in this decision -- not limited to the fact that it took over four years for the IRS to issue it -- and in that time, nothing in the IRS's followups indicated any serious issue with the application:
I will admit, at times, to having mixed feelings about the setup of non-profits in this country right now. We've been working on a project in which I am constantly asked if I want to set it up as a non-profit, and I've avoided doing so, in part, because going through such a process just seems like such a hassle (and also, in part, because I think the idea that you need to be officially recognized as a "non-profit" to do "good things" for the world seems a little backwards). Either way, this rejection definitely seems troubling and somewhat ridiculous for a number of open source projects that do amazing work to better the world, and shouldn't have to face such challenges.
The Yorba Foundation applied for 501(c)(3) in December 2009. We applied as a charitable, scientific, and educational organization. Remember that we only needed to meet the criteria for one of those to receive 501(c)(3) status.
We received two requests for clarification, one on June 23, 2010, and another on September 14, 2010, which we responded to in full. We received a notice on October 5, 2011 that our application was still being processed.
The requests for clarification contained mostly non-surprising questions. For example, "Describe whether your organization provides any goods or services for a fee." (We don't.) Some were odd: "Will any of your directors or employees reside at your facility [i.e. our office]?" (Ah…no.)
Other than those three notices and a couple of phone calls with our representatives at the Software Freedom Law Center, that was it.

Over the years, I have often been asked where to go to eat good catfish.
CRESTVIEW � Over the years, I have often been asked where to go to eat good catfish.
Until now, I have never had an answer.
The food
Every visit to Wayne�s Catfish House begins with a basket of rolls and Mexican cornbread.
The rolls are light and fluffy, and the cornbread has just the right amount of heat.
For an appetizer, my guest and I opted to share a basket of crab claws with remoulade sauce.
It was a good choice.
They were perfectly fried and more than adequate for two people to share.
Other appetizers include crawfish tails, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, onion rings and fried mushroom. You may also order a trio combo, choosing from fried pickles, tomatoes, mushrooms, onion rings or chicken strips.
They offer soup by the cup or bowl and it varies daily.
If you�re craving wings, they offer them mild, medium or hot in orders of 10, 15, 25 or 50.
The menu is divided into baskets, which are served with French fries; sandwiches, also with fries and platters, which come with a choice of two sides with 11 to choose from.
Wayne�s serves more than just catfish,
In baskets Wayne�s offers shrimp, oysters, clams, white fish and chicken strips.
In poboy sandwiches, they offer the above items as well as fried crawfish tails.
This sandwich is served with lettuce tomato and a special remoulade sauce or mayo.
If you have non-seafood lovers in your group, Wayne�s also offers hamburgers and a grilled chicken sandwich.
As a platter, they offer catfish, whole or filet, seafood items as well as a combo platter and country fried steak with gravy.
My choice of entree was the grilled three-piece catfish fillet platter with sides of green beans and sweet potato fries.
The catfish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans were pole beans and cooked in the Southern tradition with bacon and the fries were hot and crispy � a delicious meal.
Other items that are also offered grilled include shrimp, white fish, sirloin tips, hamburger steak, chicken breast and pork chops.
My guest chose the combo platter of fried shrimp and oysters with sides of cheese grits and corn on the cob.
Wayne�s Catfish House really knows how to fry food. The shrimp and oysters were perfectly seasoned and cooked.
The cheese grits were a very good take on a classic Southern dish.
Wayne�s also offers a salad bar either as a menu item or as an add-on.
The kids menu includes corn dogs, hot dogs, chicken strips, catfish nuggets, hamburger and fried shrimp.
As you enter the door, make sure you check out the large white board for all the specials.
On Friday and Saturday, they offer a low-country boil that many diner�s were enjoying the evening of our visit.
The atmosphere
Wayne�s Catfish House offers both booth and table seating.
It is a large room with booths around the perimeter of the room and aluminum tables and chairs in the center.
The walls are decorated with typical nautical d�cor.
The service
Even though we arrived on a busy Friday evening, we were seated quickly and brought menus and the basket of bread.
Our server was friendly and efficient, keeping our drink glasses filled and making sure that we had everything that we needed.
A final taste
Now when people ask if I know of a good place to eat catfish, my answer is definitely Wayne�s Catfish House in Crestview.

Car Review
2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport: New Car Review
Pros: Compact exterior, adult-friendly back seat, agreeable ride quality, affordable price, lots of standard technology.
Cons: Noisy and underpowered engine, unpleasant continuously variable automatic (CVT), smallish cargo capacity.
The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport seemingly works the basic compact-crossover formula to perfection-so why aren't we bigger fans? Just look at all the boxes that the Outlander Sport checks. It rides high, giving you great visibility over the hood. It's tidily proportioned on the outside, so parking's a cinch. Despite those compact dimensions, there's plenty of room for adults in the back seat. And the Outlander Sport comes standard with Mitsubishi's FUSE voice-command system for phones and portable music devices.
Unfortunately, the Outlander Sport has some distinct limitations, and they're mostly under the hood. Its only engine is a 2.0-liter inline-4 that's better at making noise than forward progress. Although a five-speed manual transmission is available on basic models, most Outlander Sports have a continuously variable automatic (CVT) that's not very responsive and seems to sap some of the engine's already modest power. Also, the Outlander Sport's cargo capacity barely exceeds that of typical compact hatchbacks despite the Mitsu's added height.
In other words, performance isn't a reason to buy this crossover and neither is cargo space, at least not relative to the competition. Still, the Outlander Sport is a pleasant enough vehicle overall, and it's a decent value to boot. That may not be the perfect compact-crossover formula, but it's good enough to keep the 2012 Outlander Sport on your shopping radar.
Comfort & Utility
The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is offered in ES, SE and SE AWC trim levels.
The ES starts with 16-inch steel wheels, heated outside mirrors, power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, the FUSE voice-command system for phones and music devices and a four-speaker audio system with USB connectivity.
The SE adds 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlamps, foglamps, keyless entry with push-button ignition, a sliding center armrest, automatic climate control and a six-speaker audio system. The SE AWC brings all-wheel drive and heated front seats.
Notable options include an iPod adapter, a hard-drive-based navigation system and a Premium package for SE models that adds a rearview camera, a panoramic sunroof and a nine-speaker, 710-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with a subwoofer, a six-CD changer and satellite radio.
The Outlander Sport's interior is surprisingly nice, from its dark, sleek look to the soft-touch material on the dashboard. The front seats aren't memorably supportive, but the height-adjustable driver's seat does elevate the driving position to an agreeable midpoint between hatchbacks and SUVs. The tilt-telescoping steering wheel is a welcome addition for taller pilots; many Mitsubishi wheels lack a telescoping function. The deeply hooded tachometer and speedometer feature crisp white backlighting and numerals that are easily read at a glance.
Ergonomics are generally good, including both the manual and automatic climate controls. However, the optional navigation system's touchscreen is surrounded by numerous small buttons that aren't especially driver-friendly.
Another pleasant surprise is the Outlander Sport's accommodating back seat. Despite this crossover's compact dimensions, adults should have no problem getting comfortable in the second row. Cargo space is not a high point, however, measuring 21.7 cubic feet behind the back seat and topping out at 49.5 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded down. With the Rockford Fosgate subwoofer in place, rear cargo space behind the back seat falls to 20.1 cubic feet.
Considering its low price, the Outlander Sport is a treasure trove of technology. Most notably, the standard FUSE hands-free system with USB connectivity is a capable knockoff of Ford's SYNC, allowing you to control your Bluetooth-compatible phone as well as your portable music device via voice commands. If you want high-tech sound, there's that thumping Rockford Fosgate system. And if you want high-tech navigation, the Outlander Sport comes through with an optional hard-drive-based touchscreen system that boasts music storage on its own 40-gigabyte hard drive. Not many affordable compact crossovers can match the Outlander Sport's technology spread.
Performance & Fuel Economy
All Outlander Sports are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the ES, but the SE and SE AWC come only with a continuously variable automatic (CVT) that's optional on ES. The inline-4 is noisy and slow compared to others in this class, while the CVT is less responsive than we'd like. Moreover, CVT-equipped Outlander Sports feel slower than the manual-transmission ES. As good as the Outlander Sport is in many ways, it falters somewhat in the engine room.
Note that front-wheel drive is standard on ES and SE, while the SE AWC comes with all-wheel drive.
Fuel economy is 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway with the manual transmission, 25/31 mpg with the CVT and front-wheel drive and 23/28 mpg with all-wheel drive.
The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander comes with standard stability control, antilock brakes and seven airbags (front, front-side, driver knee, full-length side-curtain).
The government has not crash-tested the Outlander Sport as of this writing, but the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Outlander Sport its highest rating of "Good" in every category.
Driving Impressions
Although the Outlander Sport's face is evocative of the high-performance Lancer Evolution sedan, don't be fooled. This is a softly sprung crossover designed for urban duty, and that's how it feels through the corners. The available all-wheel-drive system is a nice feature for snowy climes, but it doesn't transform the Outlander Sport into an off-road vehicle by any means. Happily, the Outlander Sport is an agreeable companion on the pavement, riding smoothly and fairly quietly for a bargain-priced SUV. We just wish the engine were a little more capable and refined.
Other Cars to Consider
Kia Soul - More of a tall wagon than a crossover, the Soul brings funky style and a healthy technology roster of its own, and it's cheap, too.
Hyundai Tucson - The Tucson is similarly compact, but it offers a larger 2.4-liter engine that provides better acceleration.
Mazda CX-5 - The CX-5 is a bit more expensive, but with its excellent road manners and nice cabin, it's a strong rival to high-end versions of the Outlander Sport.
AutoTrader Recommends
Considering the standard kit Mitsubishi includes with every Outlander Sport, we'd be tempted to stick with the manual-transmission ES. It's nicely equipped for under $20,000. Once you get up into the mid-$20,000s, there are many other appealing options.

This sauce looks, smells, has the texture of and almost tastes like alfredo sauce, but is DAIRY FREE, SOY FREE, EGG FREE, NUT FREE and WHEAT FREE! It's a simple base of rice flour, oil and spices to create a great sauce to put over pasta, chicken.
- Rice Milk - About 2 cups, plain works best
- Oil - About ½ to 1 cup, Olive oil is healthy, but expensive, Canola works
- Rice Flour - About ½ cup, I grind my own with my Family Grain Mill. It saves tons of cash from buying the bagged rice flour
- Vinegar - About 2 Tablespoons, Use more or less depending on the tang you like, I use apple cider vinegar
- Mustard - About a Tablespoon, any kind you like
- Sugar - About a Tablespoon, Brown sugar works and it has more minerals (potassium) than white sugar
- Salt - About ½ Tablespoon, I use a mixture of iodized and sea salt, again more (wider variety of) minerals
- Pepper - As much As you like, I give the peppermill a few turns and call it done
- Garlic - Again, as much as you like in whatever form, Fresh use less, dried use more, I use frozen fresh cloves, they press a lot easier and have a bit less bite
- Blender - I use a hand blender and a tall plastic container that holds about 1 ½ quarts
Throw all the stuff in the blender and press go. Let sit for a minute and hit it again. This lets the tiny rice particles to absorb some of the liquid. Experiment with the amount of flour and rice milk to get that thick creamy consistency. Heat the stuff under low heat in a sauce pan until warmed. Stir frequently to avoid that goo sticking to the bottom. Pour over steamed oriental rice noodles (I use Mai Fun) and baked chicken. YUM!

A Rainbow of Garden Color Inspiration
Bold Color in the garden can negate the need to try so hard with the planting design. A bright container, for example, can be the perfect thing to enliven the simplest most common plant. This trick can help a gardener with a brown thumb be considerably more successful.
Common plants are usually common because they are easy to grow, but making them interesting by surrounding them with unexpected color is an easy trick to play.
I have written many times about this subject and thought I would gather some of my favorite gardens and inspirations for playing with color from around the web.
Diarmuid Gavin is an Irish Garden Designer who makes fantastic gardens for British TV. His creativity and his ability to constantly surprise is a huge design inspiration. This colorful garden is no exception and I am loving that he has used cool technology to present the process from beginning to end in such an interesting way.
I had a lot of fun coming up with the rainbow of garden color inspiration (image 1) — if you want to see the full images of the gardens that they belong to, take a look at this post at Studio 'g'.
Similarly, the french garden wall (image 2) by Slow Gardens and the purple garden wall in the desert (image 3) by the Quercus Group are convincing examples that even the brightest of colors (vibrant violet purple) can work outside.

Scottish hunk Gerard Butler has given a whole new meaning to the term method acting with his latest role. Butler, normally a strapping 6'2" hunk, morphed into a teeny leprechaun for a role in the spoof flick Movie 43, which is due for release in January.
And he's a mean leprechaun at that. Butler co-stars in a skit with Jackass king Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott.
Knoxville captures the leprechaun to present as a gift to his friend played by Scott, but the wee fella doesn't take too kindly to being a hostage and instead gives Knoxville a head-butt before warning "I am going to cut your b**** off and feed them to you!"
Sounds crazy? You bet, but Movie 43 has a dazzling cast of stars taking part in 25 different bizarre vignettes, among them Richard Gere, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber and Emma Stone. And all of the gags are politically incorrect – Berry plays a woman who gets to blow out the candles on a blind boy's birthday cake, for example.
Given the January doldrums, though, Movie 43 could well prove to be a hit.
Here, catch Butler talking about the new film [WARNING - foul language]:

An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights
Privacy is essential to the exercise of free speech, free thought, and free association. The courts have established a First Amendment right to receive information in a publicly funded library.1 Further, the courts have upheld the right to privacy based on the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.2 Many states provide guarantees of privacy in their constitutions and statute law.3 Numerous decisions in case law have defined and extended rights to privacy.4
In a library (physical or virtual), the right to privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest examined or scrutinized by others. Confidentiality exists when a library is in possession of personally identifiable information about users and keeps that information private on their behalf.5
Protecting user privacy and confidentiality has long been an integral part of the mission of libraries. The ALA has affirmed a right to privacy since 1939.6 Existing ALA policies affirm that confidentiality is crucial to freedom of inquiry.7 Rights to privacy and confidentiality also are implicit in the Library Bill of Rights'8 guarantee of free access to library resources for all users.
Rights of Library Users
The Library Bill of Rights affirms the ethical imperative to provide unrestricted access to information and to guard against impediments to open inquiry. Article IV states: "Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgement of free expression and free access to ideas." When users recognize or fear that their privacy or confidentiality is compromised, true freedom of inquiry no longer exists.
In all areas of librarianship, best practice leaves the user in control of as many choices as possible. These include decisions about the selection of, access to, and use of information. Lack of privacy and confidentiality has a chilling effect on users' choices. All users have a right to be free from any unreasonable intrusion into or surveillance of their lawful library use.
Users have the right to be informed what policies and procedures govern the amount and retention of personally identifiable information, why that information is necessary for the library, and what the user can do to maintain his or her privacy. Library users expect and in many places have a legal right to have their information protected and kept private and confidential by anyone with direct or indirect access to that information. In addition, Article V of the Library Bill of Rights states: "A person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views." This article precludes the use of profiling as a basis for any breach of privacy rights. Users have the right to use a library without any abridgement of privacy that may result from equating the subject of their inquiry with behavior.9
Responsibilities in Libraries
The library profession has a long-standing commitment to an ethic of facilitating, not monitoring, access to information. This commitment is implemented locally through development, adoption, and adherence to privacy policies that are consistent with applicable federal, state, and local law. Everyone (paid or unpaid) who provides governance, administration, or service in libraries has a responsibility to maintain an environment respectful and protective of the privacy of all users. Users have the responsibility to respect each others' privacy.
For administrative purposes, librarians may establish appropriate time, place, and manner restrictions on the use of library resources.10 In keeping with this principle, the collection of personally identifiable information should only be a matter of routine or policy when necessary for the fulfillment of the mission of the library. Regardless of the technology used, everyone who collects or accesses personally identifiable information in any format has a legal and ethical obligation to protect confidentiality.
The American Library Association affirms that rights of privacy are necessary for intellectual freedom and are fundamental to the ethics and practice of librarianship.
1Court opinions establishing a right to receive information in a public library include Board of Education. v. Pico, 457 U.S. 853 (1982); Kreimer v. Bureau Of Police For The Town Of Morristown, 958 F.2d 1242 (3d Cir. 1992); and Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 117 S.Ct. 2329, 138 L.Ed.2d 874 (1997).
2See in particular the Fourth Amendment's guarantee of "[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures," the Fifth Amendment's guarantee against self-incrimination, and the Ninth Amendment's guarantee that "[t]he enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This right is explicit in Article Twelve of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks." See: http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html. This right has further been explicitly codified as Article Seventeen of the "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights," a legally binding international human rights agreement ratified by the United States on June 8, 1992. See: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/a_ccpr.htm.
3Ten state constitutions guarantee a right of privacy or bar unreasonable intrusions into citizens' privacy. Forty-eight states protect the confidentiality of library users' records by law, and the attorneys general in the remaining two states have issued opinions recognizing the privacy of users' library records. See: State Privacy Laws.
4Cases recognizing a right to privacy include: NAACP v. Alabama, 357 U.S. 449 (1958); Griswold v. Connecticut 381 U.S. 479 (1965); Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967); and Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557 (1969). Congress recognized the right to privacy in the Privacy Act of 1974 and Amendments (5 USC Sec. 552a), which addresses the potential for government's violation of privacy through its collection of personal information. The Privacy Act's "Congressional Findings and Statement of Purpose" state in part: "the right to privacy is a personal and fundamental right protected by the Constitution of the United States." See: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/ts_search.pl?title=5&sec=552a.
5The phrase "Personally identifiable information" was established in ALA policy in 1991. See: Policy Concerning Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information about Library Users. Personally identifiable information can include many types of library records, for instance: information that the library requires an individual to provide in order to be eligible to use library services or borrow materials, information that identifies an individual as having requested or obtained specific materials or materials on a particular subject, and information that is provided by an individual to assist a library staff member to answer a specific question or provide information on a particular subject. Personally identifiable information does not include information that does not identify any individual and that is retained only for the purpose of studying or evaluating the use of a library and its materials and services. Personally identifiable information does include any data that can link choices of taste, interest, or research with a specific individual.
6Article Eleven of the Code of Ethics for Librarians (1939) asserted that "It is the librarian's obligation to treat as confidential any private information obtained through contact with library patrons." See: Code of Ethics for Librarians (1939). Article Three of the current Code (1995) states: "We protect each library user's right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired, or transmitted." See: http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oif/ethics.html.
7See these ALA Policies: Access for Children and Young People to Videotapes and Other Nonprint Formats; Free Access to Libraries for Minors; Freedom to Read (http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oif/freeread.html); Libraries: An American Value; the newly revised Library Principles for a Networked World; Policy Concerning Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information about Library Users; Policy on Confidentiality of Library Records; Suggested Procedures for Implementing Policy on the Confidentiality of Library Records.
8Adopted June 18, 1948; amended February 2, 1961, and January 23, 1980; inclusion of "age" reaffirmed January 23, 1996, by the ALA Council. See: http://www.ala.org/work/freedom/lbr.html.
9Existing ALA Policy asserts, in part, that: "The government's interest in library use reflects a dangerous and fallacious equation of what a person reads with what that person believes or how that person is likely to behave. Such a presumption can and does threaten the freedom of access to information." Policy Concerning Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information about Library Users

Speed a factor in injury accident
A woman was sent to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont with non-life-threatening injuries Monday, Oct. 1, after she lost control of her Dodge pickup at Interstate Highway 10 near W. Pine Street.
Police said they arrived on the scene at approximately 1:30 p.m. to find the woman disoriented.
The 70-year-old woman was unable to provide police with details of the accident after hitting her head and possibly suffering a broken leg, according to police.
Police said the woman was getting ready to enter the westbound onramp near Pine Street but was traveling too fast and lost control, striking a concrete pylon underneath Interstate Highway 10.
As the truck was loaded onto a wrecker, one could see extensive damage to the front passenger side of the vehicle.
It is unclear if any citations will be issued.

We here at Sunnyview disagree with the editorial ("Sale might save Sunnyview, but certainly wouldn't kill it") of Oct. 14.
A corporation is very impersonal. They would not care about Sunnyview residents and would see only dollar signs.
Secondly, the employees here need their jobs. Strangers would come to Sunnyview and not care for us.
Let the matter of selling our own county home drop.

I prepped Earthmother. With Earthmother you have to restart if you get a terrible glyph draw, but that's rare; usually a lack of PISORF can be compensated for by physical combat glyphs like CYDSTEPP. In VT runs I'm generally not going to kill all the high level enemies unless I'm playing an assassin, so IMAWAL generates piety very quickly. This piety went to a total of 7 levels of Corrosion, 1 level of Vine Form, and entanglement as necessary.
So yeah, Orc Wizards are just fun!
Thanks for this tip! I had been scared to try this out, but ended up winning on my first try with a similar strategy, choosing Binlor over Earthmother.

When you're an athlete worth millions, money ain't nothing to worry about so why not use some of it to blast off a fireworks show so big NASA gets jealous? That's what Clippers Center Chris Kaman was thinking this Fourth of July when he gathered up a group of his friends and dropped $10,000 on a cargo of illegal explosives that makes this video so awesome you'd think you were watching a Rambo flick. With the goal set at, 'Entertaining all of Michigan', Kaman proceeded to light off a show so spectacular the only way it could have gotten better is if they attached some stray cats to the rockets and blasted them off too (which I plan on doing at some point in my life, as long as PETA doesn't read With Leather). After Kaman saw the haul of fireworks sitting in his dealer's garage ready to get picked up, he exclaimed, "WE'RE GOING TO JAIL, DUDE!"
Was anybody hurt during the show? Probably.

Foot Injuries and Disorders
Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:
- Bunions - hard, painful bumps on the big toe joint
- Corns and calluses - thickened skin from friction or pressure
- Plantar warts - warts on the soles of your feet
- Fallen arches - also called flat feet
Ill-fitting shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.

Sprains and Strains
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens.
A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Back and hamstring muscle strains are common. Many people get strains playing sports. Symptoms include pain, muscle spasms, swelling, and trouble moving the muscle.
At first, treatment of both sprains and strains usually involves resting the injured area, icing it, wearing a bandage or device that compresses the area, and medicines. Later treatment might include exercise and physical therapy.

QUINNIPIAC HOCKEY: Bobcats eliminated with shutout loss to Colgate in Game 3 of ECAC quarterfinal
Kevin M. Sokolski, Special to the Press
HAMILTON, N.Y. -- Eric Mihalik made 31 saves to propel Colgate to a 4-0 victory over Quinnipiac in the deciding game of an ECAC Hockey quarterfinal series on Sunday.
With the 2-1 series win, Colgate advances to face Union in an ECAC semifinal in Atlantic City, N.J., next weekend.
Quinnipiac finishes its season 20-14-6.
Chris Wagner's goal just under five minutes in proved to be all the Raiders needed. From behind the net, Joe Wilson fed a pass to Wagner in the slot, who fired a one-timer through the five-hole of Eric Hartzell at 4:37.
"We didn't play well enough defensively on the weekend," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said. "I'm disappointed with the outcome."
Quinnipiac had two quality opportunities in the opening minutes, both coming on the penalty kill.
Zach Currie came in on a breakaway and tried to go to his backhand, but was denied by Mihalik. Then Zach Davies rang one off the post on a two-on-one.
"Mihalik was good and made saves," Pecknold said. "The turning point of the game was when we had two breakaways and we didn't score. We have to find a way to finish."
Colgate took control in the second period with two goals, extending its lead to 3-0.
At 8:55 of the period, John Lidgett scored on a backhanded no look shot, beating Hartzell over the glove.
Austin Smith then recorded his NCAA-leading 36th goal of the season, blasting a shot past Hartzell's glove with 2:52 remaining in the second.
"They [Wagner, Wilson and Smith] are good players," Pecknold said. "They finish and we did a poor job covering them."
Quinnipiac had a chance to cut the deficit early in the third period, starting on a 5-on-3 power play, but Colgate killed off the penalties.
The Bobcats finished 0-for-6 on the power play.
"We struggled a little bit," Pecknold said. "We didn't get the power plays until we were down by three. We still had some good looks, but we just didn't finish."
The Bobcats top line of twin brothers Connor and Kellen Jones and Matthew Peca, were unable to register a tally marker in the game. They had been a part of 13 of the previous 16 Quinnipiac goals.
Peca came into the game tied for first nationally in postseason points with nine. Bowling Green's Dan DeSalvo and Bentley's Brett Gensler were the others with nine points.
Wagner added an empty net goal to seal the victory for Colgate.
With his two goals, Wagner scored in all three games and finished with six points in the series. He also recorded his 50th point on the second goal.
The Bobcats finish with 20 wins for the 11th time in the past 14 seasons.

This is a really good recipe if you like salmon and asparagus. Celebrate spring with this recipe filled with spring flavors. Two of my clients who I cook for every week have gluten-free diets, so when I make this recipe, I just swap the pasta, and the dish becomes a healthy, gluten-free meal.
Spring Vegetables With Smoked Salmon On Pasta
1 pound dry whole wheat or gluten-free pasta
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 ounces bella mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch of fresh asparagus
2 cups of chicken broth
1 pound wild caught salmon
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of white wine
6 basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.
In a large skillet, add oil and sauté the onion, carrots, asparagus and mushrooms over medium heat until just crisp. Remove vegetables from the pan.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, add 1 cup of the chicken broth and salmon. Season with salt and pepper, cover with foil and bake for about 10 minutes.
In the large skillet, add the remaining cup of chicken broth and white wine and simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce, add the vegetables back into the skillet with the pasta and simmer for 3 minutes.
Arrange the pasta and vegetables onto plates and top with the salmon. Top with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

Leblanc scored four more ECAC goals than the league's second-leading freshman (photo courtesy Kevin Burns).
ECAC Hockey All-League/All-Rookie release (PDF)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-Freshman forward Louis Leblanc of the Harvard men's hockey team has been named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Leblanc is the Crimson's leading scorer with 21 points. He scored all 11 of his goals and registered nine of his 10 assists in league play, leading league freshmen in goals and ranking third in the league in points among rookies. He tied for second in ECAC Hockey with three game-winning goals in league play.
A native of Kirkland, Que., and the Montreal Canadiens' first-round selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Leblanc was twice named ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week. He ranks sixth nationally in freshman goal-scoring and 11th in point-scoring among rookies.
Leblanc was joined on the ECAC All-Rookie squad by Rensselaer forwards Jerry D'Amigo and Brandon Pirri, St. Lawrence defenseman George Hughes, Cornell defenseman Nick D'Agostino and Union goaltender Keith Kinkaid. He is the 24th Harvard player to be selected to the team, which was first named at the conclusion of the 1987-88 season. The Crimson's last ECAC All-Rookie player was current Harvard captain Alex Biega in 2006-07.

Shocking news
I trust the King, but if we lose a few more on the trot now - he may have to step aside, and we have to purchase another manager in the middle of the season. If we are relegated, this could be the end of our ambitions to win any title the next 100 years.
Must have been terrible for the punters. Imagine going out Faraday and then seeing carnage like that.Sad about the horses though - saw it on the news before and they did both look like they'd been electrocuted or something. Both reared up and went mental at almost the same point.

(March 10, 2010) - In a match that was moved up a day earlier and a day removed from winning a long grueling contest to No. 71 UNC Wilmington Tuesday the No. 72 ETSU men's tennis team continued to stay unbeaten in Atlantic Sun Conference action Wednesday with a 6-1 defeat over Florida Gulf Coast at the FGCU Tennis Complex in Fort Myers, Fla.
With the win ETSU evened its overall record to 6-6, while the Bucs - who extended their 37-match A-Sun winning streak - improved to a perfect 3-0 in A-Sun action. FGCU dropped to 3-7 overall with a 2-3 mark in league play.
"I'm really proud of the guys today," said head coach Yaser Zattini. "This match wasn't easy. The courts are faster than what we played on yesterday and Florida Gulf Coast is a much improved team from last year."
As doubles play got underway ETSU picked a pair of victories from the No. 2 team of sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) and freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) and the No. 3 team of senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia) and sophomore Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden).
With the first point in hand ETSU swung into action in singles. Leading off the Buc scores was 85th-ranked junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) - who also won his second A-Sun Player of the Week award Wednesday - cruised to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Thibaud Aime at No. 1.
The Bucs followed that up as Gille matched his teammates score with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Carlo Checchia, while Bandres stayed in control with an impressive 6-1, 6-1 straight set victory over Sebastein Leitz.
With the victory clinched at 4-0 freshman Juan-Carlos Ramierz (Asuncion, Paraguay) outlasted Matthew Rock in the first set 7-5, before finishing up the Eagle sophomore 6-3 in the second.
Rounding out the wins for ETSU was sophomore Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) who earned his third straight conference victory with a strong performance at No. 6 defeating Mitchell Lvovsky 6-1, 6-1.
FGCU's lone win came at No. 5 as sophomore Sergio Rebolledo defeated Akser in a close three-set tiebreaker 7-6, 6-7 (11-9).
"Overall, I think we weren't 100 percent today because of yesterday's tough match, however when we needed to make a shot we still stuck to our style of play," said Zaatini. "Now with this match over our guys have to take this momentum we've built and use it against a very good Stetson team Saturday. We know it's going to be a dog fight at their place so we have to be prepared to play our very best tennis against them."
ETSU returns to action with one of the most critical A-Sun matches of the season as the Bucs take on Stetson with a 10 a.m. match Saturday in DeLand, Fla.

Lauren Conrad, also known as 'LC' on reality show 'Laguna Beach', went from reality star to fashion star after her second reality show 'The Hills'. We loved watching Lauren and all of her friend drama, but now we just love watching her style!

Whether she is seen at fashion week or just out and about in Los Angeles, she is always put together and has a very classic look. Of course Lady Lux has the perfect designer swimwear styles that you can use to get her celeb look!
One trend we can tell Lauren loves is the floral print, and she knows how to complete the look perfectly. We love her feminine style in these amazing floral print dresses and she shows how they can be worn so differently. With her hair up and simple black accessories, Lauren gives the floral dress a very classic and sophisticated look. When she pairs another floral dress with a leather belt and matching bag and shoes, she has a much more fashion forward and trendy look, which we adore! Adding different textures and prints to your floral print styles is a great new way to wear this classic print. The Ride Like The Wind Bikini is just that! The combination a fun floral print and denim is a fun and fashionable way to get the floral look with your luxury swimwear.
Another great trend we see Lauren sporting quite often is the striped look. Whether big and bold or thin and casual, stripes are always a great way to take an outfit from boring to fashion forward. We love stripes in all colors, but of course Lauren chose the great color combos of black and white and red and white, very nautical!

text: JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Carlos Pena Jersey . -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed three players, including safety Dwight Lowery and offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, on injured reserve. The team also placed tight end Allen Reisner on IR, with the designation to return later in the season. Lowery missed the last two games after sustaining a concussion on the first play at Seattle on Sept. 22. Joeckel (ankle) and Reisner (knee) were injured in Sundays 34-20 loss at St. Louis. The Jaguars (0-5) also were awarded offensive tackle Sam Young off waivers from Buffalo and promoted offensive tackle DeMarcus Love from the practice squad. They signed guard Jacques McClendon to the 53-man roster. The team signed receiver Jeremy Ebert to the practice squad and waived receiver Tobais Palmer from the practice squad. Jorge Torres Nilo Jersey .com) - The Carolina Hurricanes placed defenseman John-Michael Liles on injured reserve Tuesday. Jorge Torres Jersey . Campbell, playing on loan with Greek club Olympiacos, found the net with a left-footed shot in the 44th minute off a pass from second-half substitute Jorge Rojas to open the scoring at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica.PHILADELPHIA -- Roberto Hernandez might want to have his next start switched, as well. Hernandez pitched four-hit ball over 7 1-3 innings, outdueling Gio Gonzalez and leading the Philadelphia Phillies past the Washington Nationals 1-0 Sunday. Chase Utley hit an RBI single in the first inning for the only run. Hernandez (2-1) struck out three and walked three. His start was moved up two days because Cole Hamels had the flu, and he retired 14 of 15 batters in the middle innings. "Not a big deal, whatever I had to do," Hernandez said. "I kept the ball down and tried not to overthrow. Im happy. It was a great game for my team and for me, too." Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg likes what Hernandez has added to the Phillies rotation as the fifth starter. "We like his stuff," Sandberg said. "Hes a ground ball pitcher. He has a durable arm. He likes the ball. Hes reliable and he can throw a lot of pitches in the game. "I like the way hes throwing. He solidifies our rotation and is a good complement. Hes funky out there, hes different and I like what hes doing right now." Mike Adams and Antonio Bastardo each got an out in the eighth. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his ninth save in 10 chances. Gonzalez (3-2) allowed four hits in 7 1-3 innings. He struck out seven and walked two. "It was just a good pitchers duel," Gonzalez said. "I just tried to keep us in the game as long as possible." Philadelphia scored when Jimmy Rollins hit a one-out triple and Utley followed with a single. "That set the tone for our game," Sandberg said. Ben Revere tripled with one out in the Philadelphia third, and Gonzalez didnt give up another hit until Jayson Nixs leadoff single in the eighth. "Gio pitched well and their guy did too," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "It was a good, old-fashioned pitching duel." GGonzalez got some help from his defence during that stretch, as Nate McLouth robbed Rollins of a hit with a diving catch in left field to open the sixth. Luis Hernandez Jersey. The slumping McLouth didnt have success with the bat, though, going 0 for 3. He has just four hits in his last 44 at-bats, and has been filling in for the injured Bryce Harper. Denard Span opened the eighth with a single off Hernandez and the Philadelphia starter departed after Kevin Frandsens sacrifice bunt. Adams, who gave up the lead and took the loss in Friday nights series-opening loss to the Nationals, got Jayson Werth to ground out. Bastardo then relieved and walked Adam LaRoche before striking out Anthony Rendon. "Weve had some really key hits over the course of the season," Williams said. "It just wasnt our day." Said Gonzalez, "Were still good and the guys are working hard. Im not worried about this team." The Phillies unsuccessfully challenged a safe call by first-base umpire Fieldin Culbreth in the second. Culbreth ruled that Ian Desmond beat Rollins throw from shortstop to first baseman Ryan Howard. The delay lasted 2 minutes, 42 seconds. NOTES: A former Phillies minor leaguer, Gonzalez dropped to 4-2 in seven career starts against Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. Gonzalez has a 2.00 ERA in the hitter-friendly ballpark. ... Howard went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against Gonzalez, dropping him to 0 for 11 with six strikeouts lifetime against the Washington lefty. ... The Phillies host the Blue Jays for a short, two-game series beginning on Monday night when Toronto LHP J.A. Happ (0-0, 4.15) is scheduled to face Philadelphia RHP Kyle Kendrick (0-2, 3.52).

Software for the Raspberry Pi is quickly moving forward. Beyond the several core Linux distros, another couple dozen systems are available, with NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Chromium imminently stepping into the mix. (Ubuntu will not join them as it requires ARMv7 and the Pi is ARMv6). Two dozen programming languages are available, including Python, Perl, Java, Ruby 1.9.2, BASIC, and more. Since the Pi is a full fledged ARM computer, it should run nearly any ARM app within its system requirements. See the RPi Wiki or Foundation website for more info.

My love of typography originated in the 80's with the golden years of 8-bit home computing and their 8x8 pixel monospaced fonts on low-resolution displays.
It's quite easy to find bitmap copies of these fonts and also scalable traced TTF versions but there's very little discussion about the fonts themselves. Let's remedy that by firing up some emulators and investigating the glyphs.
I've been looking at a lot of these 8bit fonts because of recent emulation efforts. I'd like to throw Visi On's fonts into the fray, too.

Homecoming 2013 was one of great memories and a start of something new at Estherville Lincoln Central High School.
Last spring we began to think about ways that we could get more of our high school student body involved during homecoming week. With the help of the administration at ELC, we were able to offer a variety of activities for our students. Here are some of the activities we provided:
We could not have done this without the help and support from the following businesses:
A special thank you to the students, parents, and faculty for participating in this year's events.
In addition we would like to thank members of our community. It is because of you that our schools and students have "Midget Pride."

Lismore can expect damaging winds, thunderstorms
UPDATE 10.30AM: THE Bureau of Meteorology have advised that a trough moving through the Northern Rivers could bring damaging winds and storm activity this afternoon.
"During this afternoon we are expecting a thunderstorm to develop around the Lismore area," a BOM forecaster said.
"There is a slight risk of damaging wind gusts but it is difficult to determine at this stage.
The wind change won't get through until late this evening, (starting) from around 4 or 5pm."
The forecaster said it should ease after half an hour to an hour as the trough moves off-shore during the evening.
INITIAL: HIGGINS Storm Chasers have predicted some thunderstorm activity for the Northern Rivers today.
According to the independent weather gurus, data is indicating some severe potential with damaging wind gusts being the main threat.
The Bureau of Meteorology has posted that a cold front over New South Wales will move into the Tasman Sea later today, leaving a generally cool west to southwest flow over the state.
In the wake of the front, a high pressure system will slowly move east across south eastern Australia from Tuesday.
There is a high (70%) chance of showers, most likely during this afternoon and evening.
The bureau are also predicting a strong chance of a thunderstorm during this afternoon and evening.
Winds northerly 15 to 20 km/h increasing to 25 to 35 km/h in the morning then turning westerly 15 to 25 km/h in the evening.
Daytime maximum temperatures around 30.

Enable NFS for LS-VL
[Update 24.12.2011]: There was a bug in the nfs.sh script preventing the mountd to start successfully if the optware library path was not included in the .profile to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Do I need to install a new kernel?
No you don't.
At least with firmware 1.36, Buffalo already built the kernel with NFSD (NFS version 3) support enabled. Firmware 1.54 is verified to work as well.
What is missing?
The "only" missing stuff are the nfs_utils.
Unfortunately the optware feed for the LS-VL does not contain the complete nfs_utils due to build problems.
Serendipitously (I always wanted to use this word ;-) ) I built the necessary tools and scripts when I built the Ready-to-use NFS kernel. Do not use this kernel for the LS-VL!
You DO need the packages "portmap" and "e2fslibs" from Optware installed! It will not work without!
What do you have to do?
Download this tarball to the share "share" (if you downloaded it before 24.12.2011, do it again!):
Then connect as user "root" to your LS-VL via ssh. Change to the root directory.
cd /
Unpack the tarball (replace "disk1" with "array1" if you use a RAID configuration).
tar xvzf /mnt/disk1/share/nfstools.tar.gz
Configure nfsd.
NFS for Beginners
Either reboot the box or just start the nfsd.
/etc/init.d/nfs.sh start
Wait at least one minute before you check for success.
/etc/init.d/nfs.sh status
It should return this:
portmap is running. mountd is running. nfsd is running. statd is running. lockd is running. All kernel NFS services running.

Death is universal, inevitable, irrevocable and profound, and yet even in our reality-fixated times, it is rarely depicted on television.
Oh, people die all the time on TV. They fall victim to detective procedurals and hospital dramas, or are killed off on high-end serials looking to raise the emotional stakes. These days, many come back — with or without fangs, with or without subtitles.
But the process of dying, the visible physical ebb of life from a person's body, is not a narrative television cares to explore. As an A-plot, dying is a downer; it's the living who matter, whose stories move on.
The first and perhaps best thing about Showtime's six-part documentary series "Time of Death," which premieres Friday, is that it reminds us that the dying are, in fact, also the living. Death does not, in most cases, arrive swiftly, neatly final like a screen gone black or a sentence abruptly ended.
PHOTOS: TV witches — the funny, the spooky, the ugly
For many, death comes on gradually, insistently, slowing time and stripping it clean. And not just for the ailing, but for families and friends as well. As humans, we live and we die, and for a while — weeks, months, a few days — many of us do both.
"Time of Death" chronicles eight such deaths, documenting the tragedy of a sweet teenager stricken with skin cancer to a grandmother who, as a longtime grief counselor, considers her own death almost dispassionately, as the final chapter of a life's work. Acting as a framework for the series is the story of Maria, a single mother of three in the final stages of breast cancer. Where all the other stories appear in just one episode, Maria's story arches through all six, her 25-year-old daughter, "Little," serving as, if not a narrator exactly, then a narrative touchstone.
This is both a strength and a weakness. Little has moved back from L.A. to Santa Cruz to help take care of her mother and, more important, her teenage half siblings. Maria wants Little to become their guardian — their father is not part of the picture nor does anyone want him to be.
With her tattoos, hats and enormous blue eyes, Little is photogenic in a way that often distracts from the story — you can almost hear the reality "Party of Five" pitch. But she and her family serve an important role in the series, even beyond providing a through-line. The scenes from Maria's journey are the messiest, and the most moving. This is a family where anger and fear live side by side with love and admiration, and it shows. Often.
The other stories seem, by comparison, more carefully curated. Although the camera relentlessly details the physical deterioration of the participants and their families, there is an almost Victorian romanticizing of the sickroom. Michael, a veteran with a rare cancer, meets death with humor and firmness, apologizing to his parents for the anguish he caused them during his wild youth and reuniting briefly with his first ex-wife.
Lenore, the grief counselor diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, has a farewell party to announce her imminent demise before fading away in the embrace of her family. Cheyenne, a former MMA fighter paralyzed by ALS, speaks words of regret, serenity and wisdom with his eye-activated computer voice, has a devoted girlfriend and is touchingly reunited with two grown sons he never bothered to meet when he was well.
"Time of Death" is powerful stuff and difficult to watch. It's also impossible not to admire the courage and generosity of all those who agreed to be filmed during such a time. The unifying effect of the stricken may offer the strongest proof of our essential humanity — watching a man apologize for his sins with his final breaths, we eagerly forgive just as we would be forgiven.
PHOTOS: Families that changed TV
Still, "Time of Death" is so determined to celebrate the power of a "good" death that it often tidies away the very things that makes bedside vigils so inspiring. The grimmer realities of the dying body are not dealt with — there isn't an adult diaper in sight — and with the exception of Maria, no voice is raised except in song.
Each story is inevitably heartbreaking — I could not bring myself to watch the teenager's death — but only Maria's story reflects the anger, fear and selfishness that the shadow of end can cause in even a loving heart.
