(AP) Typhoon lands in China as Hong Kong shuts down
Schools and offices closed and tens of thousands of fishing craft took shelter on Wednesday as a typhoon brought high winds and torrential rain to southern China.
Typhoon Utor had already closed down the bustling Asian financial center of Hong Kong before making landfall farther south in Guangdong province on Wednesday afternoon.
Classes were canceled in Zhanjiang and other cities along the storm's path, while shopping centers closed, construction sites shut down, and office workers were sent home.
Authorities recalled fishing boats to port, with 26,000 alone taking shelter on the island province of Hainan further south. Flights and ferry service were suspended on the island, stranding thousands of travelers.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries on the mainland due to the storm, which was packing sustained gale force winds of 145 kph (90 mph).
In Hong Kong, offices, schools and courts were shut and the stock market halted trading, bringing an eerie calm to the normally busy southern Chinese commercial hub. More than 350 flights were canceled or delayed and bus and commuter ferry services were curtailed.
Six people in Hong Kong were reported injured. Strong winds blew down 21 trees, but otherwise the city emerged largely unscathed.
Utor was this year's strongest typhoon globally before it crossed the Philippines earlier this week, leaving at least seven people dead and four missing. One woman in northeastern Isabela province was seen on camera being swept away by a raging river. Her body was found later.
Dozens of fishermen were missing after the storm but most have since returned home, officials said.
Rescuers were still struggling to reach at least three isolated towns in the hardest-hit Aurora province, where the typhoon slammed ashore.
Associated Press writers Kelvin Chan in Hong Kong and Hrvoje Hranjski in Manila, Philippines, contributed to this report.

Judge decides pit bull will live, but there are restrictionsPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- A judge has decided that a pit bull that mauled a 4-year-old boy last month in Phoenix should not be euthanized.
Municipal Court Judge Deborah Griffin ordered the dog, Micky, to be defanged, neutered and microchipped.
Griffin also ruled that the dog may not be adopted or fostered. Instead, it will need to be placed in a facility. She gave attorney John Schill five weeks to look for a facility that will meet her criteria.
Schill with Schill Law represented Micky in court.
"I think we accomplished a goal," Schill said. "We saved Micky. Micky is not going to be killed."
Griffin announced her ruling Tuesday afternoon after she declared earlier in the day that the dog was vicious.
She looked at pictures of young Kevin Vicente, taken after he was bitten in the face by the dog on Feb. 20. The attack left the boy with a broken eye socket and jaw.
The judge also heard testimony by Guadalupe Villa, the petitioner, who wanted Micky put down.
Thousands of animal lovers took to social media to support Micky, placing blame with the dog's owners and child's baby sitter. On Tuesday, supporters wore T-shirts to court that bore a paw print and said "Save Mickey."
A Facebook page called "Save Mickey" has more than 60,000 likes and a petition to spare his life had 50,000 signatures.
But supporters say the campaign doesn't mean they value the dog's life above the child's.
"This is not Kevin versus Mickey," Schill said. "Having Micky killed is not going to take away Kevin's pain or injuries. The only thing this is going to do is kill a poor, innocent dog."
Pit bulls are viewed by some as a dangerous breed, a reputation their fans dispute.
Thousands have also rallied around the 4-year-old victim. A Facebook page has been set up for Kevin and a fundraising page has been set up where people can donate to help out with his medical bills.
Schill has until April 29 to find a facility that follows the judge's restrictions.
On Tuesday, Micky wagged his tail for 3TV cameras almost like he knew his life has been spared.
"He's put on weight since he's been here; I personally go in and give him treats every day," said Melissa Gable, spokesperson for Maricopa County Animal Care and Control.
The people at animal control have had the legal responsibility of caring for Micky since he violently mauled Kevin Vicente. When it looked like Mickey might have to be put down the people at animal control were subjected to hate mail and vitriol from Mickey supporters.
"No one wants to be called an animal killer and there have been times in the last month that that's what I have been called, and that's not fun," said Gable. "We've had people sneak in and take pictures of him and claim we're not taking care of him properly."
Animal control is just happy to have a judge's decision handed down, and to be moving past Micky.
"There are a lot of pit bulls out there. Pit bulls get a bad rap right now, so consider saving one of their lives. We've saved Micky's, so now let's move on and help some of these other dogs that need assistance," said Gable.
Editor's note: Some documents spell the dog's name Mickey while others have it as Micky.

The next pattern I want to look at goes a step further than the Supervising Presenter by moving logic and state out of the view. Once again discussed by Martin Fowler, the Presentation Model has its roots in the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.
A presentation model is an 'abstraction' of a view. In other words, the model represents the behaviour and state of a view, without getting involved with any of that messy graphical stuff. The view represents a projection or rendering of the model onto the screen. When changes occur in the presentation model, the view updates itself on-screen.
Martin Fowler describes two variants of the Presentation Model, one in which the view observes the model, and another in which the model observes the view. I will be looking at the former in this discussion because in Flex it is far easier to set-up observer relationships from MXML views to ActionScript models.
Key Features
- State is in the presentation model
- Logic is in the presentation model
- View observes the model and updates accordingly
- The view "knows" about the presentation model
- The presentation model does not "know" about the view
Model-view synchronization is usually achieved by applying the observer pattern, and in Flex this can be realised with MXML bindings. Although the view 'knows' about the underlying model, the model is unaware of the view; compare this with the Supervising Presenter, where the opposite applies.
Furthermore, in a Presentation Model application, view state and logic are both extracted from the view into the model. Again this is in contrast to the Supervising Presenter, in which only logic is moved out of the view; and the Autonomous View, in which logic and state remain in the view.
As with the Supervising Presenter, the motivation behind the Presentation Model is to address issues with the Autonomous View approach:
Since Presentation Model classes are fully decoupled from the view, the logic they contain is much easier to test. This puts the Presentation Model ahead of the Supervising Presenter, since the latter has a reference back to the view. Writing FlexUnit tests for presentation models should be no more difficult than for other kinds of model classes.
Improved separation of concerns
If each presentation model represents an abstraction of a view, then together they can be thought of as a model for an entire user interface. Common presentation behaviour can be refactored into base classes and shared throughout the model. I can see enormous potential here, which I hope to explore in the future.
How much logic and state should be extracted?
As much as possible. Most non-graphical presentation concerns are candidates for extraction into the model. Presentation concerns that have a strong graphical component (such as animation) and concerns that are closely coupled to the underlying framework (such as drag-and-drop) may be best left in the view. Coding this logic into the model would require too much knowledge of screen size, layout and the kinds of UI widgets being used.
Some logic is likely to remain in the view
As mentioned above, logic that is directly coupled to graphical concerns will need to stay in the view. The Supervising Presenter does not have this restriction, because it is allowed to 'know' about the view.
The view also needs to be 'smart' enough to know which methods to call on the presentation model in response to input events.
Example application
The example application demonstrates the Presentation Model pattern; right-click to access the source.
Final thoughts
Both the Supervising Presenter and Presentation Model allow you to create a separate class hierarchy for your application-specific behaviour. The former uses the view to store UI state, the latter places the state in the same class as the logic. By being decoupled from the view, the Presentation Model pattern offers more convenient unit testing and improved decoupling from the view. However, the model's total ignorance of the view means that some of the more 'graphical' behaviour cannot be extracted.

At what point does your social content become narcissism?
Social media is a major transformation of interpersonal dynamics. It's at once personal; professional; marketing; word of mouth; fun; newsy; all that; and a bag of chips. We've all seen the infographics. Mobile social networking has created a high velocity version of those age-old affinities between people to share, support and engage. Moreover, social networking is an amplifier of such relationships, as it compresses the time between our visits with each other. It even alters a centuries-old dynamic, of leaving behind people as we grow up, like childhood friends or college acquaintances.
But for all that impact, there are a few dilemmas: If we let it, social media can become incessant. And then, narcissistic.
Drawing Some Lines
Over his lifetime, Galileo Galilei, the 17th century Italian prodigy, invented the thermometer, sector, hydrostatic balance, microscope, telescope, identified craters on the moon, phases of Venus, Jupiter's satellites, and sun's spots. He wrote seven books. Not bad for a guy born in 1564 who lived for 78 years.
At the time, he was the talk of the town. Today, he's still well known: Google has 9.2 million references for him. Well deserved, for someone whose contributions brought new meaning and value to the world, and laid important foundations for much of modernity.
By today's standards, Galileo was a slouch.
At least that's what we are led to believe by the torrentists of social media, the talking heads who espouse a more, more, more strategy, as the basis of one's clout and relevance.
More, or boor?
I read recently that a social media expert had hired a personal assistant to shadow him, capture his every word, (and presumably acts, picture-moments, etc.) and digesting them into never-ending social network content. We're told that such production, ad infinitem, is the wave of the future. Quantity, or 'micro-content' will drive others' awareness of us: Our value will be measured in volume. Ultimately, we'll be producing constantly.
Going home by 7pm is so 1960s.
It made me wonder: Could it be that we moderns have far more active, creative and productive minds than those Renaissance deadbeats like Galileo, Michelangelo and Da Vinci? Would we even have heard of them, had Justin Bieber, existed in their time? At 19, he has produced over 777m Google entries, 22,000 tweets and a fiefdom of 54,594,899 Facebook fans.
And what of the rest of us mortals, with 130 friends and two hundred tweets: Shall we be consigned to the trash heap of irrelevance?
Mental Histaminic Reaction
Maybe not. As I see it, there's a huge problem with the idea that we all should produce, produce, produce. When content creation devolves to merely sharing every utterances with people we claim to value, we've gone to plaid. We can't even be certain that people will accept a "stream-of-consciousness" connection with others, once the overall novelty of social networks wears off. We're already seeing such indications they won't, such as people taking "Facebook holidays" and culling their connections to reduce the flow of updates.
The desire to filter our streams is driven by a kind of mental histaminic reaction to constant content.
Such a degree of human interconnectedness is unprecedented. It's only science fiction that imagines a hive-mind; and at much cost. Just as multitasking was debunked as unsustainable, perhaps a similar effect on relationships that become over-connected will emerge. It seems unlikely that commercial relationships will survive attempts to be omni-present in our lives: Consider how many e-newsletters and over-chatty brand accounts you've unsubscribed from lately.
Challenging the Production Imperative
We must challenge the idea that there's a need to create, contribute, repeat, on a daily basis. We should examine the costs that such a production imperative would exert upon our quality of life, our sense of self, and our nervous systems. We all know we can switch off our devices, yet the number of people staring at smartphones while walking down the street demonstrates it's not that simple.
We have already altered human behavior. What remains is to influence the content of what's flashing before our eyes.
Very few people can make quality contributions on a daily or hourly schedule. Authors like Peter Drucker or Isaac Asimov were deemed prodigies for producing so much over a lifetime. Artists rest, recharge, and rethink between each opus. The creative brain isn't a computer: It doesn't produce quality content on demand, without rest, simply because it's awake or networked.
Which leaves us with what it does produce. Mundania. It's the "kitties and ditties" phenomenon that already dominates most networks. Find someone else's quote, copy it, paste, repeat. Superimpose it on a photo of cute kittens, and be considered clever.
What a shame.
We've barely understood social media's ability to influence social connections and, more critically, to compress time between human encounters. We're committing more than 1 in 6 minutes to Facebook already; far more, when you add up all networks. That's a lot of human time; energy; effort. But to what end?
Social networking will exceed the transformation effect of past technologies like the telephone. Still, it's interesting to note that although people could call anyone more frequently than writing to them, after the initial novelty craze, call frequency slowed. There simply wasn't enough to talk about to justify calling on the phone every day. Remember screening calls on your answering machine? That was a allergic reaction, too, cured by the use of technology to create space and time between interactions with others.
A Pause Button
Perhaps that's what social media needs for the future: A pause button. At least, a sense that it's okay to pause. That the production imperative is a false concept. That not everything we do or say needs to be captured, translated, transmitted. A pause, to let time pass between us. Not because we don't want be connected, but we prefer to engage when there's something meaningful to say.
It will be a shame if we let social media move us from engagements that matter, to interactions that are booring.

Recently, I went on a vacation without my laptop. While I was gone, I checked my email by using a convenient computer and noticed that I couldn't open my mailbox. Like many other Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server administrators, my Exchange servers provide mail to my own organization, as well as to several other businesses with which I'm affiliated. If I couldn't get my email messages, neither could my partners, subcontractors, and others who depend on my service. However, I was 500 miles away from my Exchange Server system, and no one (except possibly the cat) was available to fix the problem. What to do?
Examining Options
As with any server problem, I had several options. First, I could choose to ignore the problem, move on to other activities, and wait until I got home to fix whatever was ailing my server. Because my partners expect a reasonable degree of email availability, this choice wasn't really an option—and probably isn't an option for most Exchange administrators. Second, I could drop what I was doing, go to the server, and fix it. If I'd been close to home, this approach might have been a viable option, but in this case I wasn't willing to pack up, go home, and miss my vacation. My third and final option was to access the misbehaving server remotely over the Internet to fix the problem.
Preparing for the Worst
Fortunately, I had gathered several tools before I left on vacation and was prepared to troubleshoot the problem remotely. Naturally, these tools, most of which are free, will help you only if you have the foresight to install and configure them before you need them.
The most important tool for remote troubleshooting is finding a way to get to the console of the server you want to troubleshoot. (For a primer on remote access tools, see Don Jones, "Must-Have Remote Administration Tools," May 2002, InstantDoc ID 24536.)
If you're running Exchange on Windows 2000, you can use the built-in Win2K Server Terminal Services component. You can install Terminal Services in one of two different modes: remote administration mode or application server mode. Remote administration mode lets you establish two separate Terminal Services sessions to each server you manage without any additional licensing; application server mode requires extra licenses. To activate Terminal Services, perform the following steps:
- Open the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs applet.
- Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
- Scroll down the Components list to find the Terminal Services component, select the Terminal Services check box, then click Details.
- In the Terminal Services dialog box, make sure Enable Terminal Services is checked. Click OK, then click Next in the components wizard.
- The component installer will ask you whether you want to configure Terminal Services for remote administration mode or application server mode. Select the Remote administration mode option, then click Next.
Of course, you need to make sure that the accounts you want to use for remote administration can log on locally to the servers you need to manage—as a result, you might need to use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to tweak the user permissions.
If you're running Windows NT 4.0 on your Exchange server, you can either uninstall the OS and all other software and install NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, an expensive and labor-intensive process, or install some remote desktop-sharing software, such as Symantec's pcAnywhere, Altiris's Carbon Copy, or AT&T Laboratories Cambridge's Virtual Network Computing (VNC). I like VNC because it's free—go to http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc. (As a bonus, the VNC viewer software is small enough to fit on a 3.5" disk, so I can carry it with me and run it on whatever machine I need to.) Admittedly, VNC is not as sophisticated or as fast as its commercial counterparts, and no formal organization supports it. As a result, you might find that another tool better suits your needs. All these remote desktop-sharing tools run on Win2K as well. No matter what host OS you're using, be sure to follow the software's security recommendations closely—you certainly don't want to provide random Internet users with access to your Exchange server's console.
Determining Whether the Machine Is Running
When you're away from your server and you realize that something is wrong, your first step is to find out whether the server is running. If you're lucky and it is up, you can ascertain specific problems (e.g., inbound mail is failing, Microsoft Outlook Web Access—OWA—doesn't work). In my case, I could ping the server's IP address, so I knew that the server was running and on the network, but I could also tell that POP3, IMAP4, and OWA were all dead. The server was answering POP3 and IMAP4 connections but rejecting logons for those protocols. Messaging API (MAPI) connections were failing, and attempts to load the OWA page for any user brought up the regular authentication dialog box, followed by a 503 error page.
Depending on your firewall configuration, you might not be able to ping a machine inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ) or firewall. Find out now whether you can ping a machine from the outside so you'll know what to expect when you need to remotely troubleshoot a server for real. Any test that will tell you whether the server is on the network will do: You can telnet to a well-known port or you can connect to a system that you know is up and use Windows tools such as Server Manager or the MMC Computer Management snap-in to try to connect to the misbehaving machine.
If your machine isn't running—say, because it's experienced a blue screen or because the power is out—you're probably out of luck. The one exception is if your server has one of those spiffy remote-management cards. Hewlett-Packard (HP), Compaq, Dell, and most other first-tier server vendors offer these cards, which let you dial or telnet into a text-based monitor that can identify the state of the machine's hardware. Some of these remote-management cards even show you a snapshot of what's currently on screen, a great feature for remotely debugging suspected or actual STOP errors. Most of these cards let you restart a dead machine because you connect to the card and not to the host system. This ability to revive a downed system is invaluable when you're not physically near the failed server.
Identifying What's Wrong
When you can ascertain that the computer is up and open for business, the next step is to use your remote console application. I fired up the Terminal Services client, which I had previously installed on a convenient computer at my remote location. If you can't install or use the dedicated Terminal Services client—perhaps you're at a customer site—Microsoft has an ActiveX control that you can install on your server. You can use this control to establish a Terminal Services session from any Windows machine that has Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) installed. To download the ActiveX control, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/recommended/tsac/default.asp.
After you establish a remote console session, you can use the regular array of troubleshooting tools that you'd use if you were physically sitting in front of the machine. I typically start the troubleshooting process by using the Event Viewer to check for warning or informational events that can offer a clue as to what's wrong. Exchange logs most of its interesting events, including various types of errors and failures, in the Application event log. Applying a filter with the View, Filter command lets you see only warning or error events. Filtering out routine events can help speed the process of pinpointing a failure. After a bit of practice, you'll be able to look at an event ID and identify the problem. Get into the habit of searching Microsoft's Knowledge Base as soon as you encounter an unfamiliar event ID. Many common events are largely unmentioned in the Exchange documentation but are described in the Knowledge Base.
You can perform two other tricks from the command line, either through a remote console session or through Telnet, to help correct a problem:
- The Net Start and Net Stop commands let you start and stop individual services. Because Win2K and NT both understand service dependencies, you can simply stop the System Attendant (MSExchangeSA) service to kill all Exchange services. To run Net Stop in unattended mode, type
net stop msexchangesa /y
and watch your services shut down cleanly.
- The Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit's Nltest command (described in Darren Mar-Elia, "10 Resource Kit Remote Administration Tools," April 2001, InstantDoc ID 20046) has a handy shutdown feature that lets you attempt to shut down a balky server from the command line on another machine. Sometimes a server that won't shut down from the console will honor an Nltest shutdown request. You need two switches to force a shutdown with Nltest:
nltest /server:<server name> /shutdown:<"server hung">
The /server switch tells Nltest which server you want to target, and the /shutdown switch lets you specify a reason (e.g., "server hung") that will appear in the event log.
My Exchange server hadn't logged any interesting event messages, so I couldn't immediately tell what was wrong. The fact that POP and IMAP users couldn't log on was a clue to the problem. The services were up, but because Exchange 2000 uses DLLs that IIS loads to handle POP3 and IMAP4 traffic, I couldn't vouch for the health of the Store. I began to suspect that my server was having trouble reaching a Global Catalog (GC) server because logon requests for POP and IMAP were immediately failing. (I have only one domain, so the GC server and domain controller—DC—are the same machine, even though I have two GC/DC computers.) A quick flourish of the Dsadiag tool from the Win2K support tools helped me identify part of the problem: My Exchange server wanted to talk to the GC named thunderstorm, which I had shut down while waiting for a new Fibre Channel adapter. The quickest way to fix the problem would typically be to stop and restart the Store, forcing it to find another GC. You wouldn't want to take this approach during the middle of a business day, but I figured I could get away with it during a noncritical time. However, when I tried to stop and restart the Store, it hung—always a sign that something is amiss.
Cutting to the Chase
Because I couldn't just shut down the Store, I had to shut down the entire machine. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+End to trigger the Windows Security dialog box from within the Terminal Services client and selected Restart, but nothing happened. So I used the Terminal Services client to attach to another server, opened a command window, and typed
nltest /server:cyclone /shutdown:wedged
The command shut down the server cleanly, and when the server came back up, all was well. OWA, IMAP, POP, and MAPI users could all get their mail, and Exchange was bound to the correct GC.
Learning Valuable Lessons
Would I follow the same procedures again? Possibly. In this case, the server's availability requirements were fairly low and I had created a known good backup the day I left for my vacation. I judged the risk of data loss to be minimal, and the odds of a successful restoration as high. Of course, you might want to follow a more deliberate course of troubleshooting if you have someone at the server who can help you, particularly if the trouble you're having requires you to stop the Store, run Eseutil, or run Isinteg. You can benefit from my experience by doing the following:
- Set up some kind of remote console access tool on any server that you might need to fix remotely; install the corresponding client (or make it available for download) on the machines you'll need to use while you're out of the office. Make sure you do so securely, and be sure to test your setup while you're still in the office.
- Make sure that you install the Win2K and Exchange 2000 support tools, which are located in the support folder on the product CD-ROM, on any machine that you might need to fix remotely. Installing the Win2K Server and Exchange 2000 resource kits is probably a good idea as well.
- Consider using a tool to alert you when something unusual happens. Exchange 2000 and Exchange Server 5.5 both include server-monitoring tools that can email you when something's amiss; you should probably consider combining these built-in features with a third-party tool that can send you pager messages (when your email server is down, it can't send you email).
- If others will be near the server while you're on the road, teach them as much about Exchange as you can. In the best case, they can fix problems without your intervention; at worst, you'll have someone who can change tapes or otherwise provide a spare pair of hands when you're not there.

Here we go. Another year is about to begin and it's time to decide if we are going to commit ourselves to a particular course of action or not. Do we really want to be bothered with making New Year's Resolutions yet again? How about the old ones? Could we just recycle them? Or maybe, we could just take one year off without doing any new resolutions.
The beginning of the New Year offers the opportunity to refresh and reset ourselves in a variety of different ways. One of the ways to do that is to get organized. Organization can help you feel more prepared for daily life and the unexpected situations which may arise over the next few months. January is National Get Organized Month. In recognition, consider incorporating these "clutter-free" practices in your home.
If you have a less-than-productive grass pasture or hayfield, following a few simple renovation techniques could increase the field's productivity. Some things you can do include planting a legume such as red clover, controlling pests and adding lime and fertilizer. Be aware though, some techniques require you to start as early as the middle of February.

Rudy Hendrix, Daniel Warble and Peter Kinder reported that they had been to view a possible route for building a road from Fore(e)'s Ferry on the Ohio River to New Castle. They reported that a road cannot be built because of "a very steep hill" on the planned route.

Terry Rowlett tells the farmer's story in words and action.
Rowlett farms 1,000 acres of land with his family. Rowlett is on the board of directors of the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association, which recently featured Rowlett in the 'Dedicated to Dairy' multimedia campaign. The campaign aims to inform the public about life for the dairy farmer and their stewardship for land and livestock. The SUDA website offers blogs from real life farming families, video interviews and family recipes. For Rowlett the campaign offers much more.
When Michelle Adkins turned on the news Dec. 13, 2011, she was moved to act.
More than 200 animals had been seized from Terri and Kenneth Smith, and Adkins wanted to help.
"It blew my mind," Adkins said of the television news footage.
The Smiths both faced 218 counts of 2nd degree animal cruelty. One week after the raid by Henry County Animal Control — who alleged that the Smiths were operating a puppy mill — Kenneth Smith killed himself.
New Year's resolutions come and go, and with area residents sure to make a few of their own, we checked with a few local officials to see if they had any resolutions for the coming year.
"Try to spend a little more time with my family and grandchildren."

"I have made resolutions like walking on the treadmill and it lasted for two days. I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions, but I am a fan of setting annual goals.

A Waddy man who lost a battle in the state Court of Appeals on Dec. 21 may not be giving up his fight to have his doctor held accountable for amputating his penis.
The attorney for Phillip Seaton said Wednesday that he may go to the Kentucky Supreme Court, if necessary, to seek relief against Dr. John Patterson of Frankfort, who twice has been vindicated for deciding to amputate Seatons' penis during a circumcision in 2007.

NOT YET THE END February 12, 2017Posted by wmmbb in DOG BLOG -.
At some point at the road of an individual's life unfurls, there is the realization that the planning horizon has closed in. That may be a very selfish moment, or the culmination of long term selfishness. Other people may inherit a world that will sustain their lives and fulfil their humanity, but that beggars belief and probability given dominant political and economic agendas.
Anyway, Dexter and Hannah give no indication that they are concerned about mortality seeing their sole role as being fully in the present. Dogs seem to take death in their measure. Dexter and Hannah are happy to get out. Even so, it has been very hot recently, and one of the advantages of the photos is that I have occasion to observe their reactions. I am now carrying water with me in a shopping bag. Some people put out water for native animals. While there has not been a continuous flow of water at the crossing there is still water in the creek.
So we took some photos and put them in video form. The music is "Gymnopedia N0 3″ by Wahneta Meixsell. I called the clip, "Not Yet at an End":
The song that I had in mind was "End of the Line" by the Travelling Whilbury's:
Today, and I do not know much about funerals, I will be going to Ernie's ceremony. He passed away last Tuesday. He was within weeks of his hundredth birthday.

Vote for Reproductive Health Law postponed due to protest pressure
Social and Employment Matters Committee has asked the parliament to exclude amendments to the Sexual and Reproductive Health Law from today's agenda. The amendments in question are meant to lift the restriction to import and export donor gametes for in vitro fertilization purposes.
The reason behind the decision to postpone the vote was technical. According to what Einars Cilinskis told LETA, it is necessary to formulate the draft differently. It is planned to view the draft again on 16 June.
It should be noted that amendments that limit the right of women to take care of their own body has caused a resonance among human rights activists. As a result, around 100 people gathered near the Saeima today, holding up posters with slogans like «Gametes belong to women, not the state!», «Not your body, not your choice!», «30 periods before elections», etc.
At the same time, criticisms have been voiced towards members of the committee, specifically that they did not take into account the opinion of society or experts of the industry. For example, Saeima's invitation to ManaBalss.lv initiative's author to participate in a discussion of the Social Health Sub-committee stated the wrong date. According to the initiative's author, «it is an example of blatant ignoring of society's interests and prevention of authors of the initiative to express their opinion».
Lack of scientific research was also mentioned by Dace Matule, President of Gynecologists and Obstetricians Association.
Ex-President of Latvia Vaira Vike-Freiberga has said that any woman of healthy reproductive age is able to donate gametes. Exceptions should only be applied in relation to risk factors that could affect the integrity of the genetic material.
Here is a look at the protest act that was seen outside of the Saeima on 9 June:

Highly detailed solid silver antique shield ring, handmade.
Antique Shield Ring
Solid silver artisan ring, handmade
Made to order – 1-2 weeks lead time
Choose your size
An antique shield shaped fob charm has been moulded by my professional moulding partners, then cast in solid silver and adapted to this ring design. The original shield is in fact a circa 1910 pendant that once adorned a pocket watch chain. I've adapted the pendant to remove the bail and leave the shield part of the design, which has then been soldered onto a hammered silver band that is handmade by me. I've oxidized and sanded the shield to bring out the fine detail in the design and also give it an antique patina.
The ring is offered in all standard sizes. The shield itself measures 20x20mm. The centre part of the ring offers enough space for you to engrave initials, a name or word or two. Engraving needs to be arranged by the buyer.
This ring is made to order and will take 1-2 weeks production time. I will keep you informed of progress and let you know once your ring has been despatched.

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Gender + the Economy, University of Toronto. I research and teach in the areas of work, organizations, and culture in order to address questions about gender inequality, occupational uncertainty, and cognitive change.
Broadly speaking, I am interested in studying the organizational and cultural forces that help or hinder people. My dissertation uses mixed methods to study the organizational factors affecting creativity in the music industry as it transitioned from the production of CDs to MP3s. Other research projects use in-depth interviews and content analysis to study the impact of internships as an organizational form, and the development of cultural schemas that produce and reproduce gender inequality.
My current SSHRC-funded project extends my interest in culture and organizations to a consideration of gender inequality in the workplace. I will be conducting a comparative organizational ethnography in order to examine how numerical representation interacts with workplace culture to affect the efficacy of family-friendly workplace policies.

Baby boy #2 has been a joy thus far. Of course I am getting much less sleep and accomplishing fewer tasks, but am managing to squeeze in plenty of snuggle time and an extraordinary amount of nursing. This kid likes to eat. I'm going to be on the lookout for a onesie with a reference to how much milk this one drinks.
Aside from snuggling and playing cars with my two-year old, I have had a chance to create a few fun things around the house. Now that I am acclimated to my new little family, I hope to share all my fun projects with you very soon.

What's the best way to become an OR nurse?
I graduated from nursing school in December 2013 and would love to become an operating room nurse. I've applied to such positions, but employers want RNs with OR experience, and my three days in the OR in nursing school doesn't suffice. I've heard of surgical techs going to nursing school and then getting RN jobs in the OR but never the opposite. As an RN already, should I become a surgical tech to get the experience necessary to become an OR nurse? There's also a perioperative consortium for RNs in my area that runs for a week three times a year. Is that worth taking instead of becoming a surgical tech to get a job in the OR? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!Last edit by phe677239 on Jun 18, '14
About phe677239
Joined: Jun '14; Posts: 2; Likes: 1Jun 21, '14Yes, the preoperative consortium would be better for you. Getting an ST certificate/degree is not necessary for you. I worked as a CST for 12 years and now I am an RN pursuing an RNFA. Once you are able to get into the OR suite, most hospitals will train you OTJ to scrub cases. I think that the difficulty you are running into is that the OR is so specialized and it takes someone that has been in this area for awhile to be able to perform a multitude of tasks and roles. Most Operating Room nurses are expected to be able to scrub as well as circulate. If you have one under your belt it is then easier for them to see the potential in just training you for the other. However, it is not unheard of for new grads to get OR jobs, so I would just keep applying. Just make sure that when you are applying to the hospitals that you are ONLY applying for OR positions and not anything else. This will show that you are serious about that specific position and are not interested in any other areas. You can also try to find out the OR managers name and email address and directly send a cover letter and resume to them asking that they take the time to review your nursing school experience and maybe take a chance with you. Just be persistent.Jun 21, '14Thank you so much for the advice! I'll have to follow up and let you know how it works out.

text: In the end of May, there's a pal who's going over to the United States for job purposes, and I am thinking about asking him to get me a Wii, since the price of a imported one would be overly cheaper than buying one over here (due to lots of taxes and stuff). I want to know if you, US GbaTempers, would be able to help me give him directions on buying one (since he's not into gaming at all). I need to know stores where you can easily buy a Wii in New York, know about possible out-of-stock issues, and if there's a place (if any) where you can get an already modchipped Wii (because games too are overpriced around here ). Also, informations on price of the console, games, controllers and possibly other accessories are appreciated. Pleased for your attention. Thank you in advance.

"G'day There Skip"...errr yeh... todays bar comes all the way from 'Down-Under' Australia via my good pals at Sweetstall. The Violet Crumble is Nestle's answer to the Cadbury Crunchie - a bar that I genuinely have alot of love for.
The Violet Crumble came in a very sizeable serving - and was contained in a pretty stylish purple foil pack. On pack it described itself as 'delicious shattering choc coated honeycomb'.... as you can probably gauge from this description and picture above the product proposition is entirely the same as the Crunchie.
The foil wrapper ensured the product retained a pleasant aroma - slightly chocolaty but with a nice hint of honey - an overly enticing smell.
The outside coating of the bar was comprimised of milk chocolate. Its flavour was reasonable - it was quite sweet but had a nice milky undertone. Unfortunately it wasnt quite thick enough for my liking and its flavour was quickly lost in the midst of the honeycomb centre.
The honeycomb centre....oh dear where do I start. Unfortunately unlike the aroma, a honey taste was nowhere to be seen. The honeycomb was sickeningly sweet and could be described as nothing more but tasting of sugar. Its texture was also pretty bad...I dont know if you guys have ever tasted freeze dried food? Astronuaght food?...but its texture was exactly like that...dry as a bone. It was so dry infact that it made the honeycomb congeal with the saliva in my mouth and literally just stick to my teeth...im sad to say but it was horrible.
Overall if this was a boxing match...in the red corner the Cadbury Crunchie....and in the blue corner the Nestle Violet Crumble....well I hope the blue corner brought a pillow cause its 'going to sleep'....the Cadbury Crunchie would win with a first round KO...the difference in class is that large. The chocolate of the Violet Crumble isnt bad...its passable thats for sure. The bar also looks nice in appearance and I cant fault it for its hunger fufilment credentials...its certainly a big bar. The product literally self combusts when it comes to the honeycomb filling...its tastes ever so sickley and has none of the honey tasting goodness that you get in the Crunchie. Whats even worse than the taste is the texture - it sucks any sort of moistness from the mouth and annoylingly just clings to your teeth...just horrible. I genuinely wouldnt recommend this bar to anyone...I wouldnt want to be held to that...I guess if your a massive fan of the Crunchie I could see why you could be interested in at least sampling this bar but If Im honest I would leave it well alone.

College Baseball Player Takes 70 MPH Slider to the Groin (Video)
There are worse things than getting hit in the nuts by a 70 mph slider. For example, you could get hit in the nuts by an 80 mph slider. Or a 95 mph fastball. Or a hockey puck. Or a soccer cleat.
Still, my theory is that getting hit in the junk by a 70 mph slider probably isn't fun. And if anyone is interested in testing that theory, you can go ask Cal State Fullerton baseball player Austin Kingsolver. During an NCAA Regional playoff game between Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State on Sunday night, a 3-2 pitch from ASU pitcher Josh McAlister got a little too far inside and plunked the kid right where it counts.
Luckily his protective cup did its job, so Kingsolver was able to walk it off. But he'll probably still have nightmares about this for weeks.
Take a look:
Did you see all the high fives and hugs McAlister received when he got back to the ASU dugout?
Man, those Sun Devils are some sick bastards.

The Toyota Sienna, arguably the best import minivan, gets even better for 2011 when the third generation comes to market in February.
Toyota unveiled the redesigned Sienna during the recent media days at the Los Angeles auto show.
Although the new model still looks substantially the same as the 2010 version, Toyota says the vehicle is completely new inside and out.
It will come in seven- or eight-passenger configurations and will be available with either a 187-horsepower, 2.7-liter inline four-cylinder engine or a 3.5-liter, 266-horsepower V-6. Both engines will be connected to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The 3.5-liter has EPA fuel-economy ratings of 18 mpg city/24 highway (16/22 with all-wheel drive), while the four-cylinder is rated at 19 city/26 highway (front-wheel drive only; all-wheel drive is not offered with the four-cylinder engine).
This will be the first four-cylinder engine for the Sienna, and the first four in a Toyota minivan since the midengine Previa was replaced by the Sienna in 1998. The Previa and its predecessor, the original Toyota Minivan introduced for 1985, came only with four-cylinder engines.
Toyota last redesigned the Sienna for 2004, giving it a 3.3-liter V-6. Adding a four-cylinder back to its minivan line is in keeping with the current shift in the preferences of the American consumer from larger engines to smaller, more fuel-efficient ones.
With this redesign, the Sienna will be positioned even better to compete with the best-selling import minivan, the Honda Odyssey, as well as with the two minivans from South Korea — the Hyundai Entourage and its virtual clone, the Kia Sedona.
The new Sienna will be the only minivan to offer the choice of a four-cylinder engine. Chrysler no longer offers a four in its minivan lines, and the base 3.3-liter V-6 in the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan has just 175 horsepower — 12 less than that of the new Sienna's four-cylinder.
Sienna will come in five trim levels: base, LE, SE, XLE and Limited. All-wheel-drive will be available only on the LE, XLE and Limited models.
The base and LE models will be offered with either engine, and both will come with a long list of standard features. They include cruise control, daytime running lights with manual on/off, three-zone manual air conditioning, six- or eight-way-adjustable driver's seat, power windows with auto up/down and jam protection, AM/FM/compact-disc player with four speakers and XM satellite radio compatibility, auxiliary audio jack, power door locks with remote, and three 12-volt power outlets.
Standard safety features include antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist; electronic stability control with traction control; and seven air bags, including dual-stage front and seat-mounted side air bags for the driver and front passenger, as well as a driver's knee air bag and roof-mounted side-curtain air bags for all three rows of seats.
LE V-6 models also come with dual power sliding doors and power rear liftgate, a power driver's seat with lumbar support, auto-dimming rearview mirror with universal garage opener, a backup camera, rear window sunshades, an AM/FM/MP3 CD player with XM satellite radio, a USB port with iPod connectivity and Bluetooth hands-free phone capability with music streaming. These upgrades are optional on the four-cylinder LE model.
The SE is intended for those who want more performance and a sportier look. It will come with side skirting, 19-inch alloy wheels, smoked taillights and a sport-tuned suspension. It also has exclusive instrumentation and interior colors.
Moving up to the XLE brings leather seats, a moon roof, an anti-theft system with engine immobilizer, and heated front seats.
XLE options include a 10-speaker JBL premium sound system with voice-activated DVD navigation system and a panoramic rear camera with back-up guides; XM NavTraffic; and a rear-seat dual-screen entertainment system.
At the top, the Limited adds second-row lounge seating, which turns the captain's chairs into the equivalent of living-room recliners; a power 60/40 split-and-stow third-row seat; front and rear sonar parking assist; a dual moon roof; a smart-key system with push-button start; and Toyota's new Safety Connect, which is similar to General Motors' OnStar system.
Limited options include the ones also offered on the XLE, along with high-intensity-discharge headlights with automatic high beams; rain-sensing wipers; and a pre-collision system with radar cruise control.
The new Sienna has MacPherson struts up front, and electronic rack-and-pinion power steering.
No prices have been announced yet, but the current Sienna ranges from $24,540 to $37,865 (plus $800 freight and options).

Public schools in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are not required to include the Holocaust in its curriculum.
Now, they will.
Gov. Tom Corbett on Wednesday signed into law a bill that requires schools to teach students about the Third Reich's attempt to eradicate a race of people during World War II.The legislation also mandates public schools teach students about genocide and human rights violations.
Corbett, who signed the bill at the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia headquarters in Center City, said "It's sad that we even required a bill."
The bill's sponsor, State Rep. Paul Clymer, said the importance of educating young people on world history is evident in the Middle East's current crisis.
"Today, Israel is engaged in a struggle against an enemy that has formed to wipe them off the face of the Earth — their words, not mine," Clymer said. "This legislation makes a statement. It is imparting knowledge and teaching truths that are the weapons necessary to defeat tyranny."

I'm certainly not an unbiased observer! I've played blues for a long time, in all sorts of bands. After knocking around town for 20+ years doing that, you get to know your fellow musicians, and they become friends. Well...they all hang out at the Blue Note now, it's a friendly, neighborhood bar with some of the best BBQ and ribs you'll ever have. Butch's jam is on everyone's calendar, and you never know who will sit in. I've seen some stellar performances, and had a chance to participate in some memorable musical moments with some top flight players. Butch does a good job welcoming players of all levels.

Dropbox says 68 million user IDs stolen
The stolen credentials date back to mid-2012, and Dropbox acknowledged last week that it was forcing some customers to reset their passwords if they have not changed it since that period. "This is because we believe it may have been compromised during a leak on another service with which you use the same password". However, the company does encourage users to reset passwords - changing them with strong and unique one with two-step verification enabled.

What inspires you to be a positive influence in the world?
Since I was a teenager I adopted two quotes, phrases in my life and I've been trying to make them a reality; "There's only one life, you have to spend it right" Chiara Lubich; and "Leave the world in better conditions than the ones you found" Robert Baden Powell. A firm belief that everyone has a big mission in this world has lead me to explore different realities and different scenarios, and that has given me a chance to know, learn, share and live with a lot of people with whom I've been able to make initiatives to make a better environment, knowing that my actions can benefit or at the same time affect more people in other places. I've been spreading passion to make lives better, make people more positive for 17 years now; young and old have been expectators and also protagonists of a process full of action and the power of will. And even though the result is not inmediate, through years you can see a significant change and that's what fills my life with magic, to continue making new ways.
What combination of talents and passion you offer as a Local Ambassador for SERES?
Perseverance, will, creativity, work experience with youth are the ingredients I can offer as a local Ambassador, and with that, we can make SERES mission grow.
What inspires you to invest time and energy as a Local SERES Ambassador?
The reason of investing my time and energy as a Local SERES Ambassador is the richness of discovering brute diamonds that can be perfected with dedication. The strenght, energy, ideas and freshness of kids and adolescents are enought motive to be part of this movement.
If you could change anything from our reality, what would you change and why?
If I could change anything it would be the attitude people has, because they opt to stay in a comfort zone, of indifference or sum up to the actions that are negative for this world, and that accelerates the loss of natural resources, and thus, our existence in this world.

Human-robot collaboration: There's no such thing as a safe robot, only a safe robot application!
Within the framework of a safe human-robot collaboration, human-robot applications without guards must consider the limit values in the event of a potential collision in accordance with ISO/TS 15066 (body area model). If the application remains within these limits during contact between human and robot, it conforms to the standard. The relevant measurements are therefore required in every human-robot application.
The collision measurement set PROBms is used during validation of human-robot collaborations and serves to record the force and pressure that would result in the event of a potential collision.

The late author/producer/anthropologist Michael Crichton referred to environmentalism as "one of the most powerful religions in the Western World," calling it "the religion of choice for urban atheists." Explained Crighton:
"If you look carefully, you see that environmentalism is in fact a perfect 21st century remapping of traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs and myths.
"There's an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there's a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment. Just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs, imbibe.
"Eden, the fall of man, the loss of grace, the coming doomsday---these are deeply held mythic structures. They are profoundly conservative beliefs. They may even be hard-wired in the brain, for all I know. I certainly don't want to talk anybody out of them, as I don't want to talk anybody out of a belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God who rose from the dead. But the reason I don't want to talk anybody out of these beliefs is that I know that I can't talk anybody out of them. These are not facts that can be argued. These are issues of faith.
"And so it is, sadly, with environmentalism. Increasingly it seems facts aren't necessary, because the tenets of environmentalism are all about belief. It's about whether you are going to be a sinner, or saved. Whether you are going to be one of the people on the side of salvation, or on the side of doom. Whether you are going to be one of us, or one of them."
Crighton expanded on these themes in his 2003 "Remarks to the Commonwealth Club" in San Francisco. This section of Discover The Networks is devoted to these same considerations.

Game 53: Rebounding against one of the West's best vs. St. LouisJanuary 23, 2014, by
The Rangers were pretty sloppy on Tuesday, blowing a pair of two-goal leads –that they probably didn't deserve to have– en route to a 5-3 loss to the Isles. St. Louis is fresh off a 7-1 embarrassment in New Jersey. Suffice it to say, both teams are looking to right their respective ships. The Rangers need the points more than the Blues do, as the Metropolitan and Eastern Conference races are very tight.
Ken Hitchcock has the Blues running an aggressive 2-1-2 overload forecheck, but tend to switch to a 1-2-2 with a lead late in the period, though the way the Rangers are playing there's probably no point on sitting back. They are fairly aggressive when it comes to defensive zone schemes, playing an overload style and collapsing down when the puck is down low. Their power play strategy is a 1-3-1, and their penalty kill formation is a hybrid.
Rangers Lineup:
Chris Kreider–Derek Stepan–Rick Nash
Carl Hagelin–Brad Richards–Ryan Callahan
Benoit Pouliot–Derick Brassard–Mats Zuccarello
Brian Boyle–Dominic Moore-Dan Carcillo
Ryan McDonagh–Dan Girardi
Marc Staal–Anton Stralman
John Moore-Kevin Klein
Henrik Lundqvist gets the start.
Scratches/Injuries: Derek Dorsett (broken leg), Henrik Lundqvist (illness), Justin Falk (healthy)

So Lundy is feeling better but he'll be Talbots backup?
Zipay saying Hank gets the start. That was four hours ago though.
We need the points, and if Hank is healthy, he should start tonight. The one thing we don't want to start is a losing streak, so it's important for Hank to be in net!!!!!!!
I have to say, I haven't seen much of J. Moore off the ice, but I like what he had to say in the 1st intermission interview.
His answers seemed real, and he actually offered something insightful about the first 20.
Talking about what a return to the left side means for him, and his observation on countering the Blues' forechecking and the play he's trying to make. Pretty interesting.
Reminds me of the way Mike Sullivan actually breaks down the specifics of what he has seen and doesn't give dry generalizations we've all heard a thousand times.
Tough lose….I wonder who AV's new whipping boy will be now that MDZ has been traded.
