Good luck with it JoelThanks, Heath! I'll need it, probably. I've been poring though Sayers' site over the last couple of days and I think it's going to be a healthy ramp up period before I'm even able to write my first post there .
I also ordered the Gervais book – it looks like it will be invaluable. I'm hoping that my situation is common enough that I have a few ideas to start with and then tweak from there rather than having to reinvent the whole thing. We'll see – in a month or two it will stop raining and I'm really going to have to get my construction chops on.
Keep us posted! and maybe in time you could share some nice pictures for us to see I think with any build, it's getting your head around it all and making the right choices but I'm sure it will all come together well.
It's a great suggestion about making it big enough so bands could use it, if you have the space? and if you do? it would be essential to have some kind of wash room, this would allow you some extra income and could be a nice little money spinner
Good luck with it Joel
Congrats! hope it goes well
Congrats on the massive milestone!

We learned a great deal about the Partial Views in my post Fundamentals of MVC Partial Views. In this post I'll show you how to create a partial view in a Visual Studio MVC 3 project and how to load the partial view inside a regular view using the following two methods:
- Server side using Html.Partial() helper method
- Client side using jQuery load() method into an empty div element inside a regular view
Step 1. Create a MVC project called ChalakiPartialViews
I'll be using C# and Razor views for this project. Start with creating new C# MVC3 project. You can also use VB if you wish. The solution, project and the related files are created in their default folder structure.
Step 2. Create the Book model
Use the supplied books.sdf SQL compact db file and create a Book Model to match the Books table.
namespace ChalakiPartialViews.Models { public class Book { public int ID { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string Memo { get; set; } } public class BookDBContext : DbContext { public DbSet<Book> Books { get; set; } } }
The connection string points to the Books.sdf as shown:
<add name="BookDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|Books.sdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0"/>

A Pan African Human Rights Organisation challenging the misrepresentation of African people, culture and history in the British media.
Sun 17 April 2011 | ||||||||||||
Review: Almost British | ||||||||||||
Olivea M Ebanks | ||||||||||||
�This can�t be happening! Not racism. Not in the 21st Century in England. And not in her Majesty�s Prison Service! But it was happening and Olivea had two options: she could either take the constant abuse, ignore the racial comments, and differential treatment in the hope that it would go away or she could stand up to her bullies. In 2008, Olivea chose bravely, and took the Prison Service and her colleagues to court for direct racial discrimination and victimisation. She stood alone to represent herself in a fifteen day hearing and won! This is Olivea�s rare story of victory.� | ||||||||||||
�As much as I understood that anyone who has encountered any form of racism in Britain would experience a range of negative emotion, I was nonetheless disarmed and disappointed by the intensity and force of the emotion I felt. I was also dismayed at the speed with which I went from someone who felt rage with no outlet: a rage that caught me off guard and caused me to implode.� It is difficult to try and categorise the book Almost British. On one level it is the remarkable story of one woman�s triumphant battle against institutional racism, an incredible tale that documents her struggle to endure the relentless pressure and attacks on her body and spirit after challenging the racist attitudes and actions of managerial staff within the British Prison Service. It shows how the power of love and faith can heal as family and friends support us during our times of woe. And yet, on another level it serves as a definitive guide offering practical support for all employees facing harassment and discrimination in the workplace, a forensic report on how to survive managerial bullying and discrimination in a system that actively works to protect its own. In many ways it is a harrowing story, one where we see Olivea start with a bright optimistic attitude towards starting work at the Prison Service College at Newbold Revel, Rugby and gradually being subjected to circumstances that almost lead to her ending up broken as a pessimistic, paranoid victim on anti-depressants. Fortunately the story does not end there and we are taken through her journey of vindication through a world of grievances, investigations, employment tribunals, self representation and eventually victory - as a survivor. Throughout this epic tome Olivea juxtaposes her real world introduction to the reality of covert racism with an emotional narrative littered with related historical facts and statistics that reveals the true impact discrimination has on the human psyche. Yet whilst the book ends in triumph, it does not mask the limits of the law. Indeed, investigations, litigation all whilst recognising injustice, continue to fail in applying remedy or appropriate sanction for unjust and covert racist behaviour in the workplace let alone throughout society. In many ways articulating this Truth is one of the key strengths of the book. For whilst it would be a valid criticism to recognise there are no counter perspectives given space to account for the racism experienced, Olivea excels at locating the �justifications� given for her experience that permeate corporate and legal systems maintaining the status quo across the UK. In one such killer quote an acting Prison head responding to comments about the consistent poorer appraisal markings Africans get than their european counterparts states; �white people are more comfortable with people who are like them... I don�t regard this as racism.� (Wotton, 2010) Fortunately on 14th April 2008, in the case (1304048/2006, 1307055/2006 and 1301543/2007) of Mrs Olivea Ebanks vs Her Majesty�s Prison Service (HMPS) the Tribunal�s unanimous judgment was that her complaints about harassment and victimisation on the basis of racial discrimination by Diane Watkins, Stacey Tasker, Sue Brookes and HMPS were upheld. This legal victory therefore makes Almost British a historic journal of the events that led up to that judgement that should be read by all those interested in understanding the failings and haphazard management style of HMPS, institutional and British racism, employment law and practices and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. |

Making Your Books a Bit More Personal
I love getting lost in the fresh, crisp pages of a brand new book. I've worked over the last several years to build a nice library of special hardcover books, and wanted them to have special designation showing how I acquired them – whether they came as a gift from a friend or relative, or I found them in a unique bookstore or on a trip somewhere. So, I decided the best way to add that special information was to label the inside cover. I was hesitant to insert my scribbly, scrawling handwriting with a permanent pen and decided instead to make stickers that have my name and left just a simple line where I could write in the date that I either got the book or read it, and a line for another special notation. As a bonus, if I ever loan the books out, the borrower always knows where to return them – perfect for book clubs!
From that initial idea, I've expanded out to books that I give other people. My favorite go-to graduation gift is "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss, and these labels are just perfect to place inside the front cover with the date of graduation and the graduate's name. They'll remember that special occasion each time they open the book.
Our friends at How About Orange have a great template that you can download from their site and then upload using the FedEx Office Design & Print Center (did you get all that tech lingo, download then upload?). Labels for books can be printed in large quantities for a low price (140 for $16.99), so you'll always have them available for your own books and books you're giving as gifts.
Here's to some happy reading!

Two distinctly different yet remarkably significant historical attractions lie adjacent to each other near the Houston Ship Channel 20 miles east of the city. The San Jacinto Battleground and the Battleship Texas (3523 Hwy. 134, 281/479-2431, www.tpwd.state.tx.us [1]) tell the stories of valiant warriors in disparate settings fighting for freedom.
Perhaps most significant to Texas history is the San Jacinto Battleground site, with its remarkable 570-foot-tall monument (15 feet taller than the Washington Monument) commemorating Texas's victory for independence. The 1,200-acre site and its adjoining San Jacinto Museum of History preserve and interpret the legendary battleground where Texian troops under Gen. Sam Houston defeated the Mexican Army in an 18-minute battle on April 21, 1836. The magnificent monument—topped by a 34-foot star symbolizing the Lone Star Republic—is dedicated to the "Heroes of the Battle of San Jacinto and all others who contributed to the independence of Texas."
The ground level houses the San Jacinto Museum of History, containing nearly 400,000 objects, documents, and books spanning 400 years of Texas history. Be sure to watch the fascinating 30-minute movie "Texas Forever! The Battle of San Jacinto." The site's highlight is the observation deck, a 490-foot-tall vantage point offering stunning sweeping views of the battlefield, ship channel, reflecting pool, and surrounding scenery.
Just across the street lies an important piece of the state's history: the Battleship Texas. This impressive 1911 vessel is truly unique—it's the only remaining battleship to serve in both World Wars I and II and was the first U.S. battleship to mount antiaircraft guns and launch an aircraft.
The mighty ship's multiple decks reveal what life was like for the crew, who bravely defended the stars and stripes during crucial combat situations while enduring overcrowded conditions. The elaborate system of massive guns remains impressive, and visitors can occupy one of the artillery seats to get a feel for the challenging precision required to operate the heavy machinery. Head below deck to see the cramped cots, officers' quarters, galley, engine room, medical facilities, and other slices of life to get a true appreciation for the distinguished service provided by the men of the Texas.

Ladies' Home Journal® Magazine

That grilled corn slathered with butter and salt? That teriyaki-marinated chicken breast? Those delicious and classic cookout foods (among others!) may be sending you over the recommended limits for sodium intake. Most of us should be getting no more than a teaspoon a day. And children, African-Americans, and people over 50 should slash salt to about half a teaspoon, the latest USDA dietary guidelines say. The truth: Many of us cram in about a teaspoon and a half. But don't worry, you can cut back on salt without losing flavor at your next cookout or picnic, says Connie Guttersen, R.D., Ph.D., registered dietitian and nutrition instructor at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley and author of The New Sonoma Diet. Her favorite trick? "Use herbs and spices—basil, dill, cumin, and cayenne—to add flavor to outdoor dishes without adding calories."

I put one into a 21 degree FT-iz hybrid about 6 weeks ago. The club feels much heavier, but it is very stable and feels like hitting an iron now. Been very happy with it and now intend to put it into the other hybrids.

Established: 2007
The Immunohematology Education Fund was established in honor of Rock Oyen and Carol Johnson, who worked together at NYBC for over 30 years. They both started their careers as Medical Technologist in Immunohematology and inspired and educated many during their life-long careers.
The purpose of the Fund is to encourage junior medical technologists to follow Rock's and Carol's example and to be motivated to pursue a career in Immunohematology.The Fund currently supports an Annual Award Competition and an Annual Seminar.
About Ragnhild Oyen-Lopez
Rock, as she was known, was born July 7th 1941 in Trondheim, Norway.She worked in the Antibody Reference Laboratory (now known as the Laboratory of Immunohematology) at NYBC for 30 years, and was the Technical Director when she retired on April 25th, 2002. During retirement, Rock lived with her husband, Fred Lopez, in Bradenton, Florida. She died January 11th 2007. Rock had no formal training as a medical technologist but she was self-motivated and largely self-taught.She grew to be a respected immunohematologist and her advice was sought not only locally but also throughout the world. Rock's interests included research, resolution of serological problems, and teaching.She trained many technologists and physicians in immunohematology who currently serve as blood bank supervisors or medical directors nationwide. Rock had a warm sense of humor, was a pillar of moral and emotional strength, and epitomized good customer service and relations. This education fund is a tribute to Rock.
About Carol Johnson
On November 17th, 2007, the Manager of Professional Education Programs, Carol Johnson died. Carol shared much with Rock and was unconditionally supportive of the Rock Education Fund. Carol was born on August 28th, 1945 in upstate New York and trained as a Medical Technologist at Hartwick College, Oneonta, NY. Later she obtained her MT(ASCP)SBB diploma. Prior to assuming the leadership of the Department of Medical Education, she worked in the Immunohematology Reference and Research laboratories. Carol worked at NYBC for 30 years, during which time she published numerous technical and scientific papers and text-book chapters. She had a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts in an understandable manner and, thus, was a favorite with transfusion medicine students, medical technologists and physicians alike. She was friendly, helpful, outgoing, and a team player. It was largely these traits that enabled her to help build the New York Blood Center Transfusion Medicine Fellowship into one of the premier programs in the United States.
About Rock and Carol
Rock and Carol had much in common: they were both talented medical technologists, scientists, professionals, educators, friends who worked at NYBC and published numerous papers, reviews, and chapters together. They both died prematurely in 2007 after courageously fighting cancer. They trained many technologists and physicians in immunohematology who currently serve as blood bank supervisors or medical directors nationwide. Both enjoyed resolving serological problems, performing and interpreting research studies in various aspects of blood groups and education. They exuded joy in what they did. NYBC has lost two invaluable and irreplaceable family members and both are sorely missed. As a tribute to these two outstanding people, the Rock Oyen Education Fund, which was established in January 2007, was renamed in November 2007 the "Immunohematology Education Fund" in honor of both Rock Oyen and Carol Johnson.

"It's not a rivalry. We beat them every year. Oh my God. I don't care if they beat us tonight. I like (Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof). I hope they enjoy this."
Those were Kobe Bryant's words in his postgame interview last night, after the Sacramento Kings defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 100-91 in their 2011-12 home opener.
On the one hand, it's hard to argue with Bryant. Even after last night's loss, the Lakers have won 16 of the last 21 meetings – including a stretch of eight straight victories – and haven't even split the season-series with the Kings since the 2005-06 season.
But while the 2002 Western Conference Finals may seem like a lifetime ago to Bryant, who has since won three championships, two scoring titles, and an MVP award, it takes more to wipe away a decade-old battle for supremacy, which includes far too many unforgettable moments and painful defeats, than a recent stint of regular season dominance.
Robert Horry's dagger and Mike Bibby subsequent game-winner are only a small fraction of what transpired in a wildly entertaining duel between the two Pacific Division foes. From Doug Christie's uppercut on Rick Fox's jaw in a 2002 exhibition contest, to Bryant's alleged room-service food poisoning, to the times Shaquille O'Neal referred to the team as the "Queens" and Phil Jackson called the state capital a "cow town," the memories for Kings fans are there for the taking. Let's not forget the fact that the Kings actually lit giant Lakers jerseys on fire at half-court before Games 3 and 4 in the 2000 Playoffs (both wins), quite literally igniting the rivalry.
In recent years, the Bryant-led Lakers have remained among the league's elite teams, while the majority of yesteryear's Kings are either retired or nearing the ends of their respective careers in other cities. Yet, facing the Lakers will never be just another game after all of the emotions, bad blood, and not to mention, conspiracy theories that have unfolded.

User reviews
Both my kids have had Strider Balance bikes since they were two and I can't recommend these highly enough. They are light enough that they can both carry them themselves, but also when I need to carry kids and bikes it is not too heavy. My 3.5 year old is just about keeping up with kids on peddles. She likes that she is always in control she can go as fast or as slow as she likes, and the gliding is great. My youngest only got his bike a month ago, and while he is still hesitant to ride he is happy to sit on it and have a go, and I know that it won't be too long that he is chasing after his sister. I love that the new models have quick release on the seat this makes it great for adjusting the height quickly, and having the solid wheels has meant no punctures so there is no down time - so important for impatient toddlers.

Why choose the Costa Tropical ? |
Costa Tropical is a hidden gem lying in bright Andalusia, the Costa Tropical draws thousands of visitors each year. With its fine-looking landmarks and fabulous picturesque villages, the Tropical Coast says it all with its name: a peaceful paradise in Europe, but sshh - don't tell everyone! Click on the video below The Costa Tropical is 80 km from Malaga airport and is often referred to as Eastern Costa del Sol. The areas name was changed 15 years ago to distance itself from the Costa del Sols reputation of crime and corruption. If you are looking for property for sale in Spain, especially in the south and you want to buy a villa by the Mediterranean Sea or an apartment with great views, then look no further than the Costa Tropical. The Costa Tropical has the healthiest climate in Europe and second in the world as stated by the World Health Organisation. All year round micro-climate providing protection from extreme temperatures of the summer and the cold temperatures which can occur in the winter. The lush green valleys and fruit plantations in La Herradura, Almunecar and Salobrena thrive due to great all year round temperatures and mountain spring water coming from the Sierra Nevadas. Compared to the south coast of England the Costa Tropical gets 15 times less rain (400mm pa compared to 5900mm) and we have average all year round temperatures of 20 degrees. Less than an hour away from the two international airports of Granada and Malaga. With the new motorway now completed to La Herradura it now takes about 45 minutes to get to Malaga airport and about 50 minutes to Granada.. Extensive ski range of the Sierra Nevada which hosted the 1996 World Alpine Ski Championships is 60 minutes from the beaches, boasting 84 kms of pistes, more snow cannons than any other resort guaranteeing skiing from December to April. See www.sierranevada.es for up to date weather reports and prices. Scuba diving, snorkeling, hang-gliding, kiting, horse riding, water sports, fishing etc. The list of sports and facilities is endless. Marina Del Este in La Herradura, has moorings for 227 boats and yachts with plenty of bars and restaurants to sit and enjoy the environment with terrific views out towards Cotobro, Almuñecar, Salobreña and Motril. In Motril there is a bigger harbour providing landings for cruise ship passengers The beautiful countryside of the Alpujarras, Cerro Gordo, Sierra Nevadas, Lecrin Valley etc. Historic monuments of the Phoenecians, Romans and Arabs such as the Alhambra, aqueducts, castles, burial tombs, bridges etc. Thousands of acres of protected nature reserves preserving some of the most beautiful landscape and coastline in Spain thus creating an abundance of flora and fauna for us to enjoy; one of the most popular being Peña Escrita in Almunecar with its abundance of wild flowers and animals such as ostriches, bears, hippopotamus, deer, kangaroo, ibex, wolves and variety of birds. You can even rent a log cabin to soak up the atmosphere, or dine at the restaurant at the top of the reserve and savour the views. As well as providing a lower cost of living than that of our neighbours on the Costa del Sol, the Granada province maintains the custom of free tapas with a drink at most of the local bars. A great excuse for a well earned break on a viewing trip or just part of the lifestyle in the Costa Tropical. There are lots of reasons to buy property in Spain, but even more to buy property on Granada's Costa Tropical. |

TaqMan® probes are dual labeled hydrolysis probes and are a registered trademark of the Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. TaqMan® probes utilize the 5' exonuclease activity of the enzyme Taq Polymerase for measuring the amount of target sequences in the samples. TaqMan® probes consist of a 18-22 bp oligonucleotide probe which is labeled with a reporter fluorophore at the 5' end and a quencher fluorophore at the 3' end.
1. Quantitative real time PCR.
2. DNA copy number measurements.
3. Bacterial identification assays.
4. SNP genotyping.
5. Verification of microarray results.
PREMIER Biosoft offers AlleleID® and Beacon Designer™ to design TaqMan® probes for your real time PCR assays saving you both time and money. These software products design specific TaqMan® probes and primers for your real time PCR assays that are free of dimers, repeats and runs and ensure signal fidelity.
You can also design TaqMan® for multiplexing up to four sequences, avoiding cross homologies with all probes and primers preventing competition in multiplex reactions. Beacon Designer™ and AlleleID® help you evaluate pre-designed TaqMan® probes or design TaqMan® probes for primers.
1. Tm Criteria: The primer melting temperature (Tm) should be around 58-60 oC, and TaqMan® probe Tm should be 10 oC higher than the Primer Tm. The Tm of both the primers should be equal.
2. Length Criteria: Primers should be 15-30 bases in length.
3. GC Content: The G+C content should ideally be 30-80%. If a higher G+C content is unavoidable, the use of high annealing and melting temperature co-solvents such as glycerol would be deemed essential.
4. GC Clamp: The total number of Gs and Cs in the last five nucleotides at the 3' end of the primer should not exceed two. This helps to introduce relative instability to the 3' end of primers to reduce non-specific priming.
5. Amplicon Length: Maximum amplicon size should not exceed 400 bp (ideally 50-150 bases).
6. Runs and Repeats: The probes should not have runs of identical nucleotides (especially four or more consecutive Gs), G+C content should be 30-80%, there should be more Cs than Gs, and not a G at the 5' end.
7. Genomic DNA Avoidance: False-positive results are obtained due to amplification of contaminating genomic DNA. Thus,In the cDNA preparation, it is preferable to have primers spanning exon-exon junctions.

Training Pastors, Rabbis, and Imams Together - TIME
When Jerry Campbell became president of California's renowned Claremont School of Theology four years ago, low enrollment and in-the-red books threatened to close the 125-year-old institution. But since Claremont is the only United Methodist seminary west of Denver, Campbell resolved to find a way to stay open.
Drawing from classic American entrepreneurial wisdom when faced with extinction, innovate and a commitment to engage today's multi-faith culture, this fall Claremont will commence a first on U.S. soil: a "theological university" to train future pastors, imams, and rabbis under one roof.

Green Bay, Wis. -- Phil Simms said on the CBS telecast of the game that injured Oakland running back Darren McFadden has a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, and not a mid-foot sprain, and could be out for the year.
Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said that there has been no change in McFadden's diagnosis.
No," Jackson said. "And it's not a season-ender. I mean, that's what we said - it's a sprained foot, Lisfranc, whatever you want to call it. Basically the same thing. I think Darren will be back before the season's over. And when we get him back, we'll get him back."
A Lisfranc injury affects a joint in the center of the foot, and is what ended Houston quarterback Matt Schaub's season. McFadden has not played since being injured on the Raiders' first series against Kansas City on Oct. 23.
Oakland missed the speed of McFadden and injured receivers Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore on Sunday. And the Raiders had more injuries Sunday. Receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey hurt his heel, receiver Chaz Schilens injured his foot, center Samson Satele hurt his shoulder and safety Michael Huff hurt his hamstring.
Living on the edge: Down 31-0 midway through the second quarter, the Raiders tried a fake punt. Punter Shane Lechler's pass to Rock Cartwright fittingly sailed high.
"It was there, too," Lechler said. "I just missed the throw. If I don't miss the throw, it is a first down, easy. I haven't missed that pass in I don't know how long."
The bad pass didn't end up costing the Raiders any points because of a crazy sequence. With 4:22 left in the half, Aaron Curry sacked Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the ball came loose. Kamerion Wimbley grabbed it and ran it back 82 yards for a touchdown, but that return was erased by a Lamarr Houston clip. Then the whole play was wiped out when replay officials ruled Rodgers' arm was moving forward and it was an incomplete pass.
Two plays later, Rodgers' pass was intercepted by Mike Mitchell in the end zone.
Rodgers ties franchise mark: Rodgers was sacked for the second time in the third quarter, with his team up 34-7, and looked at the bench. The former Cal quarterback already had thrown two touchdown passes to tie the franchise season record of 39 - set by Brett Favre in 1996 - and was ready to call it a day.
Rodgers, who came out on the next series, finished 17-for-30 for 281 yards and an interception. He had a passer rating of 96.7 - the first time all season it was less than 100 - but was happy with the 30-point win.
"This is the kind of game you want to play going into the playoffs," Rodgers said.
Briefly: Green Bay's Randall Cobb appeared to step out of bounds during a 50-yard kickoff return to open the second half, but officials said the replay system was malfunctioning, and the Raiders couldn't challenge. ... Former Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson had his seventh interception for the Packers - the fourth season of six he has reached that number for them. He did not have more than five in eight years with Oakland. ... Packers receiver Greg Jennings was carted off the field with a knee injury in the third quarter.

From food banks and clients all over Washington, as told to Northwest Harvest
"I was married for almost 15 years and thanks to community resources like the food bank I was able to escape a marriage littered with domestic violence and chronic infidelity. While I'm working through school in an effort to get my degree, the food bank has been instrumental in helping make sure that there is healthy food on the table for my children. No one wants to be in a situation when they are so needy they need to ask for food, but when that time came for me, the food bank was there. I am grateful for all the time and energy that you volunteers put in to provide this resource to the community. So it's with much love and respect that I say, 'Thank you.'"
"We moved to the area to find work. My husband, a laid-off carpenter, had only worked three out of 21 months when we lived in western Washington. Shortly after moving to the Tri-Cities for work, he was laid off. Having just used every dime we had to move here, we didn't have money to pay our rent and buy food. The first time we came to the food bank we felt so embarrassed and guilty for having to ask for help. The staff at the Kennewick Food Bank made us feel like it was okay to be here. One staff member told me, 'Come back as often as you need.' Those words stuck with me and we kept coming back, even after he went back to work. We still had so many bills to catch up on and didn't want to choose between keeping the utilities on and buying food. I'm glad we kept coming because another layoff came 10 weeks later. Thanks to the food bank we've been able to eat and pay our bills, rent, and utilities and still buy necessities for our two young children. I don't feel embarrassed anymore, just thankful."
"I want to thank the food bank. Without them my wife and I would not be eating the nutrition we are receiving,g as we are living only on social security. Again, I would thank all of the wonderful volunteers who work at the voluntary distribution centers. P.S. It could only happen in America."
"We are seeing an increasing number of elderly, migrant workers and working poor. More people over 50 are being laid off or let go from their employment due to 'lack of position' or 'upgrading of office.' We are especially seeing this in women who have worked for the same employer for over 10 years; they are seeking employment but are being told that they are 'overqualified' for the position."
"We have many homeless clients that we try to give food that doesn't need cooking. Because of the increase in donations, they have been thrilled with the pop-up lids that come off without a can opener and have a better variety of foods they can eat."
"A man and his son came in last week and said it would probably be the last time for him and his family of four. He had lost his job 2 years ago and hadn't been able to find anything, but they started coming to the food bank and were hanging on. Recently his wife also lost her job so they are going to stay in their car and don't know where they will wind up because you can't just park anywhere and stay. He came for something for lunch because he doesn't have cooking facilities. He just wanted to feed his kids lunch right now and then figure out what comes next. I suggested a few resources and he had already checked most of them out, i.e. housing in Federal Way, job search, etc. That's why he didn't know where they would go next. It just made me feel sick to not be able to help him. This isn't the long term unemployed (or what that used to mean), this is a fine man and his wife who are unable to find work and housing to take care of their children. This sucks."
—Multi-Service Center Food Bank, King County
"The need is particularly hard on seniors that have few, if any, opportunities to change their situation."
"We are getting more and more first-time clients that seemingly are embarrassed by signing up for food assistance. We also had a family that their house burned down and we are able to supply not only food but clothes and household items along with toys for their five year old boy."
—Hamilton Community Food Bank
"This is an email that was sent to us 1/18/11: My fiancé and I used your food bank today. We never like being handed things; we are too proud to take charity. But we are hurting right now for money. My freezer, my fridge, and my pantry all have food in them right now thanks to the United Methodist Church and all the many volunteers that help make it happen. Thank you, THANK YOU! You people are wonderful and have huge hearts. When I am able to work and I have my life back in order, I will be first in line to volunteer and give back. I can't say thank you enough. Today took a lot of stress off my shoulders knowing that we're going to be able to eat this week."

- Old French sceptre, from Latin sceptrum, from Ancient Greek σκῆπτρον (skeptron, "staff, stick, baton"), from σκήπτω (skepto, "to prop, to support, to lean upon a staff"). (Wiktionary)
"He snatches the sceptre from the hand of power, and tramples on goodness, and mocks at greatness."
"The king governeth his people; he hath a golden crown upon his head, and the royal sceptre is in his hand; he sitteth upon a throne, and sendeth forth his commands; his subjects fear before him; if they do well, he protecteth them from danger; and if they do evil, he punisheth them."
"Many grieve under doubts whether they have an interest in Christ or no, when they should be rejoicing that they have an interest in him; the golden sceptre is held out to them, and they are invited to come and touch the top of it."
Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume VI (Acts to Revelation)
"And one reason among many, of their being thus deluded, is this, they say that the word sceptre in Genesis 49 is not meant of a kingly government; but the meaning is, (say they) a rod, or persecutions shall not depart from Judah till Shiloh come."
"The revolution which transferred the sceptre from the Abbassides to the Fatimites was a benefit, rather than an injury, to the Holy"
"a place Alroy finds access, and takes the sceptre from the hand of its rightful owner, leagues himself with a band of robbers, of all nations and creeds, in the vicinity of Hamadan, sends forth his invitation to his Jewish brethren to join him, goes on from small enterprises to greater, and becomes the conqueror of Persia and of the Caliphate of Bagdad."
"The sceptre is a plaything for a child, an axe for a Richelieu, and for"
"The centre of the sceptre is a sphere which represents Sunyata, or the primordial nature of the universe that underlies all things."
"On the table, by the side of the great parchment acts, lies a huge gilt sceptre, which is always taken away, and placed in a conservatory under the table, as soon as ever the Speaker quits the chair; which he does as often as the House resolves itself into a committee."
"And to verify both these sentences, we must understand that Jacob leaning on Joseph's rod adored, turning towards the head of his bed: which adoration, inasmuch as it was referred to God, was an absolute and sovereign worship: but inasmuch as it was referred to the rod of Joseph, as a figure of the sceptre, that is, of the royal dignity of Christ, was only an inferior and relative honour."

Some time later, the LYING LIARS WHO LIE have gained entrance to the Erie County Coroner's Office -- yet again masquerading as detectives -- and we enter the following scene just as the coroner's finishing his description of Dead Kavan's wounds: Kavan's liver did indeed go missing during his misadventure, but everything else was intact. (Well, everything else was intact until he dumped all of it onto that perky nurse's shoes, but whatever. We know what he means.) When Dean wonders if teeth marks were present on the victim's skin, the coroner becomes instantly suspicious of their supposed credentials, and asks to see their badges again. Our Intrepid Heroes successfully bluff their way through the challenge, but the coroner takes this opportunity to hoist an eyebrow into the air smirk, "Fine -- so you're cops and morons." Heh. The liver was not ripped out, you see, and the LYING LIARS WHO LIE would have known this had they actually read the coroner's report, in which he explicitly noted that Dead Kavan's liver was "removed surgically by someone who knew their way around a scalpel." "You done?" the coroner asks, having thus effectively exposed Our Intrepid Heroes apparent incompetence. "I think so!" Dean too-cheerfully nods. "Please go away," the coroner sighs, more than done with them. "Okay!" Dean readily agrees. Heh.

Although Errai (Gamma Cephei) in the constellation Cepheus only rates as a third-magnitude star, it is fairly easy to find, and quite visible in a dark country sky. To many stargazers, Cepheus looks like a child's depiction of a house, with Errai marking the peak of the roof. Try your luck and see if you can star-hop to Errai, the future North Star, tonight!
First of all, use the Big Dipper "pointer stars" (Merak and Dubhe) to locate Polaris, the present-day North Star. Then jump one fist-width beyond Polaris to hop on over to Errai. (Hold your fist at arm's length.)
Cepheus the King is not a particularly prominent constellation. But you'll know that you've found Cepheus, because you'll see his more striking wife – the M or W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia the Queen – standing at his side. Errai is nearly on line with the stars Polaris and Caph of Cassiopeia (see sky chart at top of page).
For most of the Northern Hemisphere, orange Errai shines as a circumpolar star. Circumpolar stars are stars that neither rise nor set, but always appear above the horizon.
Polaris will continue to reign as the Northern Hemsiphere's pole star for centuries to come. Yet Polaris won't remain the North Star forever. Errai stands next in line to inherit the title. Errai will most closely mark the north celestial pole around 4000 AD. Alderamin – Cepheus' brightest star – will become the northern pole star around 7500 AD.
Errai is a binary star – two stars revolving around a common center of mass. It's one of the few binary stars known to harbor a planet.

In a move to counter the excessively high costs of preschool, China's Education Ministry has required educational institutions to rein in the practice of charging extra fees for kindergarten–to abolish unauthorized charges and to make items and standards of all fees public. According to the plan, schools and education authorities are forbidden to collect extra fees in the name of organizing interest groups, learning workshops, specialty training programs, or parent-student groups. Chinese parents have complained about expensive fees charged by even public kindergartens as demand for preschool education has outpaced the development of kindergartens.

Taking a massive, hellacious dump in someone else's bathroom (especially a stranger/acquaintance), then leaving swiftly and pretending that nothing happened. Person 1: Hey man, why are you in such a hurry? We just got here ten minutes ago?

An Antique Crib Becomes a Garden
This is upcycling that sticks to a theme – growing things. First the crib was used for growing humans. Now it's used for flowers and herbs – and seeing as how safety standards have advanced a bit since this was in use, that's probably a good thing.

The Aixplorer® was built to give precise information.
We know that the correct staging of hepatic fibrosis is of critical importance not only for diagnosis, but also for antiviral treatment decision-making.
That's why MultiWave™ Technology brings you impeccable image quality and non-invasive, real-time, quantitative ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™) to better image liver disease.
Aixplorer is the first ultrasound system to provide you with the following imaging benefits of ShearWave Elastography:
- A real-time SWE map of liver elasticity to help you accurately determine stiffest areas for measurement and biopsy
- As the SWE color-coded map is superimposed over the B-mode image, the user can verify the acquisition is in the liver, preventing incorrect measurements in the kidneys or in near-by vessels
- Liver elasticity measurements can be obtained in challenging cases of obesity and ascites, with a depth of up to 12 cm
- A fast, real-time stiffness acquisition which is not affected by movement of the patient or the operator
- Operator skill independence and ease of use
Preliminary studies show that SWE is not only equivalent to the currently accepted techniques used to evaluate liver stiffness, but also has improved specificity and accuracy.
Contrast Imaging
Aixplorer also provides advanced and comprehensive Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) solutions for detection, characterization, and monitoring of solid tumors particularly in the Liver and Abdomen. Aixplorer is the only system, which can do both CEUS AND ShearWave Elastography to enhance the comparison of blood flow in the microcirculation with the mechanical and structural properties of tissue, giving more diagnostic information.
Long Loop Capture that guarantees up to five minutes of contrast acquisition time in both prospective and retrospective captures.
Flash imaging, contrast timer, MVI and POI also available.

RE: Stanford Liquidators Reach Agreement
island bouy
Antigua St. John's - Stanford International Bank Joint Liquidators, U.S. Stanford Receiver, Examiner, Official Stanford Investors Committee, DOJ, and SEC Sign Settlement Agreement and Cross-Border Protocol - DALLAS, TX, March 12, 2013 -
The Joint Liquidators (JLs) Marcus Wide and Hugh Dickson of the Stanford International Bank, Ltd. (SIB) and the U.S. Receiver for Stanford Financial Group and all related entities (Receiver), announced today that they have entered into a Settlement Agreement and Cross-Border Protocol (Settlement Agreement) with one another, the U.S. Examiner, John Little, the Official Stanford Investors Committee (OSIC), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Advisory Creditors Committee of the Liquidation of SIB has also voted to give its approval to the Settlement Agreement.
• provides that distribution of the frozen funds shall be made to creditor-victims of SIB and not to other claimants such as the Internal Revenue Service or the Antiguan government;
• terminates the substantial expense of competing legal claims to, and proceedings relating to, the frozen assets in Canada, the U.K., Switzerland, and the US.
The Settlement Agreement is a product of the parties' common goal of optimizing and enlarging the overall recovery for creditor-victims as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. The parties to the Agreement all believe that the Agreement is in the best interests of the victims of the Stanford fraud.
Further information, including a copy of the Agreement, will be posted on the U.S. Receiver's website at http://stanfordfinancialreceivership.com, on the JLs official website at http://www.sibliquidation.com, and on the Examiner's website http://www.lpf-law.com/. Persons who believe they were victims of this fraud scheme should visit those sites for additional information
Settlement Agreement and Cross-Border Protocol Q and A
When will money be distributed?
The date when distributions will be made is presently unknown. Although the Receiver, the Joint Liquidators, and the Department of Justice have reached agreement regarding the disposition of the international Stanford assets, the assets remain in control of authorities in the U.K., Switzerland, and Canada. The parties will work together to encourage these authorities to release the assets quickly upon approval of the agreement so that money may be distributed to creditor-victims as soon as possible.
What was the cause for the delay in reaching a final agreement after the agreement in principle was announced?
The settlement agreement is a six-party agreement that deals with assets and related litigation in five different jurisdictions. As a result, the drafting of the agreement was a lengthy process, requiring consultation with attorneys and authorities in numerous jurisdictions. Once the agreement was drafted, all parties to the agreement carefully evaluated the agreement, considering all possible implications of finally approving its terms. Because of the importance of the issues covered by the settlement agreement, the final deliberative phase of the process was necessarily lengthy. The length of time needed to complete the settlement agreement is ultimately a reflection of the degree of care all parties exercised in preparing and finalizing the agreement.
Why is $36 million being reserved for working capital?
The settlement agreement allocates $18 million to the Antiguan liquidation estate primarily to fund litigation that the parties believe will have a substantially positive return for the Antiguan liquidation estate. An additional $18 million may also be allocated for working capital, including litigation funding, if necessary. This working capital cannot be used to fund any litigation adverse to any other party to the definitive agreement. Further, every effort will be made to minimize the amount actually used for working capital, and any funds not actually used for working capital will be released for distribution to creditor-victims.

With general election campaigns heating up, I expect The Gazette's daily flow of letters to the editor to turn into a flood. Extra pages of letters will be printed between now and Nov. 7, but, if past experience is any guide, the newspaper still will receive many more letters than can be printed. So I want to offer suggestions for writing letters that are most likely to get printed:1. Don't wait until the week before the election to write an election-related letter. The newspaper will run out of space for last-minute letters. Write early, but no more often than once in 30 days.2. Be brief. Letters over 250 words will have to be shortened, if they can be printed at all. The shortest, most concise letters - especially those that say something that hasn't already been said many times - are most likely to get printed.Please mail letters to: Gazette Voice of the Reader, P.O. Box 36300, Billings, MT 59107. Fax them to 406-657-1208 or e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
