Putting plans into action and creating summer jobs
Published Tuesday, July 4, 2017 4:59PM EDT
Finding summer employment isn't always easy and more than a dozen students in Sault Ste. Marie are taking matters into their own hands.
Walker Gregoire was busy on Tuesday splitting wood.
Gregoire has to have three cords ready to go this week and if he doesn't get it done, he will have no one to blame, but himself.
He is his own boss; running Walker's Wood.
"It's awesome," said Walker.
"During my breaks I can go for a swim in the lake because it's hot in the summer and get back to work in the next half hour."
At 16-years-old, its Walker's first job. And living outside of Sault Ste. Marie, he knew he didn't want to commute.
"I live an hour away, so driving into town every day to go to work would, for minimum wage would be working for gas money, so it wouldn't be worth it," he said.
So, wanting to stay close to home, he applied and was accepted into the Economic Development Corporation's summer company program.
Students are given $1,500 to start up their own business and become their own boss for the summer.
In exchange, they have to meet target hours; 280 for high school students and 480 for university students.
They also receive mentors to help them along the way.
"We find that in the school system there are so many other things that teachers are covering, but entrepreneurship isn't strongly focused on," said Angela Bruni, economic development officer.
"So, our responsibility is to promote this as an option for students."
Bruni adds some students decided to go this route after not being able to find work for the summer.
At the end of the summer, all of the successful students who have completed the program will receive an additional $1,500. That money can be used to continue operating their business or they can spend it however they want.

About ROA
It's no secret that participation in collegiate athletics can positively shape a student-athlete's future. In addition to scholarship dollars, benefits can include the development of leadership skills, a strong work ethic, and lifelong relationships. But what about the college itself? Is it possible to measure the return on athletics at the institutional level?
The NAIA believes so and is working to identify measurable, quantifiable benefits. While anecdotes can convey the importance of athletics to institutional culture, there is a need for data that can quantify the benefits of NAIA membership to an institution. Return on Athletics™ (ROA) is the NAIA's proprietary approach to the management of collegiate athletics, putting the business of our member institutions front and center.
ROA will be completed in three phases. The first phase is focuses on existing data and analytics to better articulate the NAIA's value to both current and prospective members. Phase one establishes the baseline value upon which the NAIA can build.
Phase two builds upon current NAIA strengths. How can athletics better increase enrollment? Is it possible to reduce the administrative burden on schools? How can we create more recruitment advantages and enhance the campus experience? These are just a few of the issues that will be examined.
Finally, phase three focuses on innovation with the ultimate goal of creating new value opportunities to better attract and maintain members. In turn, this will strengthen our organization.

Latest Russian Military Hovercraft [Insert Dolph Lundgren Quip Here]
A country famous for implementing the world's largest military hovercraft, the SR-N4, has created a new hovering killing machine. Caught during the filming of an upcoming Russian movie, made by an appropriately-named studio 'Lenfilm', this newest Russian military-grade hovercraft makes short work of sand, mud, and even choppy surf. Fans of the soon-to-be Red Dawn remake won't be disappointed to hear that Russia still values the heady stench of glory with their Christy 6143 hovercraft, designed specifically for Special Forces operations "of any complexity."
Although specs on the Christy military-grade 6143 aren't public, info on the civilian version 6-seater is similarly tantalizing. The vehicle finds power in a 4-stroke, turbo 120 horsepower German engine and produces lift from a separate 2-V, 4-stroke, 23 horsepower engine from Japan. Interestingly, commercial and military hovercrafts receive the same double skirts to ensure a large carrying capacity, amphibious security, and a soft ride. "Due to a sandwich-type design the hovercraft has become lighter by 25% (over a previous model) and has 100% unsinkability and incredible stiffness of the hull and cabin." Bold claims, indeed.
An innovation of note: Christy uses both vertical and horizontal rudders to improve, and hopefully prevent, errant hovercraft drift – a major hover-weapon dilemma (as we learned from Steve Martin in Sergeant Bilko). This military-grade version caught on tape doesn't appear to come equipped with tank-size cannons, the main contributor to drift. Perhaps the folks at Christy Hovercraft have a cinephilic appreciation for Mr. Martin?
So you thought hovercrafts were a waste of time, a 1990s pipe dream? Think again. Since the late 1950s and early 1960s, hover tech has been used around the world in both military and public applications. Granted, you probably won't see hovertanks anytime soon, but hovercrafts are still commonly used for covert operations, shipping, and of course…amphibious landings. In a country like Russia, where arctic seas meet endless deserts, hovercrafts seem like an ideal solution to a sometimes challenging environment.
In case you're shaking in terror, fearing a second international arms race. Fear not. The Cold War is long gone and a small hovercraft proliferation cannot possibly symbolize the next major military movement. The Russians have always prided themselves on fascinating, yet quirky, military implements. But, I don't think anyone is expecting World War III to involve hovercrafts lined up as far as the eye can see. The battle might be utterly fascinating, though.

A better bet would be to get 1 1/2" square tubing (double check the inside clearance) and drill holes in opposite sides. Use a Dremel to open one hole into a slot. If you can buy just the material you need should be well under 10 dollars.

I recommended Google get off Java for Android & everyone else avoid it specifically to avoid all this stuff. Any of the Wirth stuff is up for grabs and can be extended if necessary. Component Pascal already has Blackbox. Do some source-to-source translation from Java to it via tools like Semantic Designs'. Any greedy company in control of a key tech means we should avoid it after the API copyright ruling. Best endorsement for OSS licenses I've seen in years.
By "recommended Google …" do you mean that you were contracted by them for a decision or that you have expressed an opinion online previously?
Expressed an opinion. I previously had and currentlg have no contracts with Google, the Android team, or their surveillance-loving buddies on The Hill. Might stay that way for a while although Im up for helping them improve security any time given how critical they are.

I remember when I used to stress myself relentlessly trying to get my three young children to eat what I cooked, it was good it was green it was even served with something sweet. Still we had a food fight almost every night.
Then one day it dawned on me how I could win. I started with Flintstone Vitamins and then I gave up and started playing chess. I discovered what they really liked and cooked enough to have leftovers for two days. They were athletes at an early age and would eat their favorite food until it was all gone. They liked string beans seasoned with a pinch of sugar and bacon grease, they ate cabbage with Zummo sausage and they ate potatoes smothered over rice and on and on. I stopped fighting, they got healthy fat and everyone slept well.
Thats the way to do it!
DITTO! why make a fight out of it.. i realized life is too short to fight over things like that..

Husband, wife killed in Delray Beach crash
Victims were from Lake Worth
Husband, wife killed in Delray Beach crash
Victims were from Lake Worth
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. —
A couple was killed Tuesday morning in a crash in Delray Beach.

Both of those vehicles then crashed into a third.
The person in that car was not injured.
The Brito's were pronounced dead at the scene. Kelly was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Curry Quinoa Salad with Apples
This protein packed curry quinoa salad with crunchy fall apples is a tasty makeahead lunch!
by Rachael Hartley, RD, LD, CDE, CLT
My Bernese Mountain Dog, Savannah, is the best dietitian's dog. Fruits and vegetables have always been her favorite. While she has never turned down a pupperoni (or any food for that matter) she really goes crazy for things like carrot tops, the stem of heads of lettuce, and potato peelings.
It's so weird.
Her absolute favorite food? Apples. She's even learned the word, which has become my go to call when she manages to sneak out of the backyard. She doesn't respond to her name, but yell "want an apple?" and she'll be back in our yard in two seconds flat. Savannah even recognizes the crunching noise of biting into a fresh apple. It's enough to wake her from a deep slumber and all of a sudden, she's at our feet begging!
Since she is our furry child, her love of apples is one healthy eating habit we're happy to encourage, so we always pick up extra for her at the grocery store. This is our favorite time of year to get apples, which are at their peak ripeness in the fall. Right now, our local market is overflowing with local heirloom varieties ranging from tart to sweet.
Here's some more reasons to love apples:
- Despite being sweet, apples can help with glucose metabolism. Specific polyphenols in apples reduce the absorption of glucose from the gut and stimulates the release of insulin. Apples are also a good source of fiber with 4.5 grams in a medium apple, which helps slow the digestion of carbohydrate, keeping blood sugar levels steady.
- Apples are particularly healthy for the gut! They contain certain types of carbohydrate that gut bacteria loves to eat, feeding a healthy gut flora. One study has found apples in particular alter levels of two strains of clostridiales and bacteriodes that are associated with health benefits.
- While nowhere near the vitamin C content of citrus, apples are still a good source of vitamin C. Go for fresh versus applesauce for maximum vitamin C content.
- Apples benefit heart health. The soluble fiber helps lower cholesterol while antioxidants prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Be sure to eat the skin - that's where most of the antioxidants are concentrated!
While apples are tasty for snacking and desserts (hello apple pie this Thursday!), I love to use them in savory dishes, like this curried quinoa salad with crunchy apple slices. The combination of apples and curry is a classic one in chicken salad, so I created this vegetarian version using quinoa. If you're making this for lunch, prepare the quinoa salad in advance and store in the fridge. Pack the spinach topped with quinoa salad separate from the dressing. Then pack an apple to slice over your salad when ready to eat, or toss your apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Use your bounty of fall apples to make this curried quinoa salad! @healthyaperture @RHartleyRD Tweet this
Curry Quinoa Salad with Apples
Serves 4
- Dressing:
- 1 cup plain, full fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 small minced garlic clove
- Salad:
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed

1. First, make the dressing. Whisk all dressing ingredients together, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

I am a mature woman who loves art in every form, especially fashion. Realizing the media is made up of many more young women than women my age, made me want to try to balance the representation, even if just a little bit. It is my hope that I can make an impact on how women are seen in society as they age. It all starts here, one blog and at time.
My home is in the west central mountains of Idaho. I live in a small rural resort town that is best known as the place to go for both summer and winter sports.
I have a bachelors degree in Communications, a masters degree in Education and a doctoral degree in Education. Most of my career was spent working in Medical Education where I started out as a director of clinical education and worked my way up to associate dean. In 2006 I went to work for an Educational Consulting Firm as Vice President of Learning Innovations. I continue to work with this firm while I dabble in this hobby blog.
I have two sons, one is a Business Analyst and the other is a Doctor of Neuropsychology. They have amazing wives that I consider my daughters. I also have the sweetest, cutest little grandson and namesake granddaughter. I couldn't be a luckier lady!
I love animals and have two canine best friends named McCall and Stella. You will see them photo bombing many of my pictures. I have always loved fashion, home decorating, cooking, anything to do with the great outdoors and wine. I started running in my mid forties and continue to run to this day because it is my form of meditation. I was really into competitive 5ks but now mostly do trail runs near my home.
This blog is my happy place. I'm not trying to cure cancer or make social change, outside of hopefully promoting a healthy attitude toward women as they age. Its just a space I've created to share fun things that make me and hopefully you, smile, if only for a minute. So, thanks for stopping by my happy place. I hope you keep coming back.

With Kingsway running along the west side, Fleet Street to the east, the Strand to the south and Chancery Lane to the North, some call it 'legal London'. The Royal Courts of Justice stands proud, amongst Inns of courts, legal companies, homes to London's legal professionals and to a unique set of beautiful Holborn Escorts.
Tourists, as well as residents, frequent Holborn, it is home to a number of interesting and cultural places to visit. Here are some to name a few:
Why not enjoy its culture with a Holborn Escort girl. London offers cultural diversity at its best and so does Holborn Escorts. Whatever you're looking for in your visit to this part of London, Holborn Escorts will not disappoint. Pick from a wide range of cultures; from Eastern European to Brazilian, from size 6 to the more curvaceous; hot party girls to the sophisticated girls next door.
They can dominate or be submissive, party hard or enjoy a quiet dinner, make interesting conversation or behave badly and need to be punished. Not the type that requires a legal professional but the type that requires the freak in you. Holborn Escorts do have something in common; all are beautiful, sexy and know how to please.
Holborn Escorts know their business and thoroughly enjoy what they do, but the match must fit and as a London escort agency this is what we do best.
Visit the quirky Fitzrovia, north of Soho and west of Tottenham Court Road. Once a centre of radical and bohemian life. It's still a rather quirky district with the main strip being Charlotte Street, packed with interesting and trendy restaurants, alongside the pubs known for being the haunts of bohemian writers in the 1920s and 30s. Holborn Escorts love the quirkiness of Fitzrovia, finding that it's easy to fit in with the literacy-loving, creative and professional crowd.
Bloomsbury lies on the eastern side of Tottenham Court Road marks the start of Bloomsbury, London's literary heart. The impressive neoclassical British Museum on Great Russell Street is London's most popular tourist attraction. With a Holborn Escort as your hot companion, this could be quite a memorable experience. She will navigate the crowds with a sexiness that will be difficult to take your eyes off, conjuring up sexual desires that will need to be satisfied.
The British Library is on Euston Road and houses 150 million books and periodicals. There are signs that ask you to be quiet in specific areas, so maybe avoid these with your naughty Holborn Escort girl.
Stroll the streets of Holborn with an amazing lady on your arm. Enjoy the culture and the numerous historic buildings like The Old Bailey, eat, dine and dance.

NHIAA Hockey: Memorial comes alive for first winBy ALEX HALL
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 08. 2018 10:17PM
MANCHESTER — Scoring was a problem for the Manchester Memorial boys' hockey team in its first three Division I regular-season games.
Penalties were an issue but finding the back of the net was not for the Crusaders in their 7-6 victory over city rival Manchester Central/West Monday at JFK Coliseum. It was Memorial's first win.
Memorial scored three goals over its first three games, all losses. Monday, senior captain Eric Langley had that many by himself, and classmate Patrick Goren, an alternate captain, tallied two goals.
"Your better players are going to step up and they did," said Memorial coach Mark Putney, whose team built a 6-1 lead and held on. "They stepped up and they tried to pull the team on their backs."
The Crusaders, who took eight penalties in the contest, led, 3-0, after the opening period and 7-3 entering the second intermission.
Central/West (0-5) did not go down quietly in the third period.
Central/West senior Sam Hebert, his younger brother, Will, a sophomore, and George Gatzoulis all scored over the final 8:22 but the Crusaders held off the third-period comeback. Gatzoulis' second goal pulled Central/West within 7-6 with 2:32 remaining, but Central/West couldn't get the equalizer despite pulling the goalie with about two minutes left.
"This is a hard-working team," Central/West coach Eric Fischer said. "We have our moments where we fall apart a little bit … (but) every single time we get ourselves in a hole, we keep battling right to the end, (which) just shows a lot about this team for being a young team."
Like the Crusaders, Central/West had trouble staying out of the box, taking five penalties.
Sam Hebert and Gatzoulis both finished with two goals. Gatzoulis added two assists.
Langley began his hat trick by stealing the puck from Central/West's Jake Pellerin in the neutral zone and scoring on the breakaway 3:52 into the first period. Jared Chandonnet won his race with Central/West's John McNichols to the loose puck and scored from the left circle 2:21 after Langley's tally to build a 2-0 Memorial lead.
Matthew Guzzetta scored on a turnaround shot during four-on-four play with 56.7 seconds left in the first period to make it 3-0 Crusaders.
Gatzoulis' power-play goal 2:16 into the second frame put Central/West on the board. Goren scored two goals — one while Memorial was short-handed — over the next 50 seconds to give the Crusaders a 5-1 advantage.
Langley scored the remaining two Memorial second-period goals to complete the hat trick. His third tally came during four-on-four play with 3:04 remaining in the stanza.
Keegan Hoag and Sam Hebert both scored for Central/West in the second period. Hoag recorded a power-play goal. Sam Hebert tallied his while Central/West had a five-on-three advantage.
Jordan Lamarre and Adam Richardson combined for 13 saves for Central/West. Matt Scott made 28 saves for the Crusaders.
"I think it's important," Putney said of the triumph. "We've got a tough schedule ahead of us but it's nice to get a win, especially if it's against an intercity rival like Central."

Photon-Counting Arrays for Time-Resolved Imaging
AbstractThe paper presents a camera comprising 512 × 128 pixels capable of single-photon detection and gating with a maximum frame rate of 156 kfps. The photon capture is performed through a gated single-photon avalanche diode that generates a digital pulse upon photon detection and through a digital one-bit counter. Gray levels are obtained through multiple counting and accumulation, while time-resolved imaging is achieved through a 4-ns gating window controlled with subnanosecond accuracy by a field-programmable gate array. The sensor, which is equipped with microlenses to enhance its effective fill factor, was electro-optically characterized in terms of sensitivity and uniformity. Several examples of capture of fast events are shown to demonstrate the suitability of the approach. View Full-Text

From Ortonville, Michigan, USA:
About a week ago my friend's 17 month old grandson become dehydrated and was hospitalized with what the parents thought was the flu, but he was in DKA [diabetic ketoacidosis] and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He was very ill, and everyone in the family is worried. Is there any positive, hopeful or helpful information you can give?
There have been very considerable advances in the management of diabetes in young children in the last few years. This is not to say that caring for them is not considerably demanding, but there can now be an expectation of a life that is almost normal.
Your friend's grandson is, I am sure, enrolled with his parents in an education program run by his diabetes care team, and they have access to a dietitian and a medical social worker as well as the doctor and the nurse educator. Your friend might want to learn more about diabetes too by reading one of a number of books about caring for these children.
[Editor's comment: I suggest that you have this child's parents visit our Chat Rooms. There are always lots of parents there to chat with who have been through this and can be of great help.
In addition, Sweet Kids: How to Balance Diabetes Control & Good Nutrition with Family Peace by Betty Brackenridge and Richard Rubin a great reference for managing a toddler with diabetes. SS]

Anthros Campaign Setting
Andor, also known as the Lord of the Missing or Vengeful Protector, is the god of Retribution. He is the keeper and protector of those who have been orphaned, abused, or otherwise victimized, and is the patron god of those who seek vengeance for past wrongs.
It is said that Andor was a once a Champion of Pelor, or perhaps Pelor's wife Sarenrae. He was valorous in battle, but it was obvious to all who knew him that his nature was one of intellect and compassion, rather than violence. As a Champion of Pelor, however, it was Andor's duty to drive back the forces of darkness, and he did so willingly and well. One day, it is said, Andor's best friend Cadmus, who was young to the ways of war, but eager, accompanied Andor in battle against a terrible race of dark creatures known only as the Fell. The two made a magnificent team, one protecting and the other thrusting, one thrusting with the other protecting. As the tide of the battle turned in their favor, Andor saw a weakness in the enemy flanks, and, forgetting Cadmus, lunged forward to rout the enemy. Without Andor's strong sword to protect him, Cadmus was quickly surrounded; before Andor could return to his side, Cadmus had been slain.
Horrified, and unable to consider what would happen to Cadmus' wife and newborn child, Andor slew the rest of the creatures in a surge of strength; then, leaving his men to continue the fight, he carried Cadmus's corpse over rocky mountains for days, towards the nearest Church of Pelor. After a hushed consultation, the clerics of the Church informed Andor that Pelor, God of Life, had refused to retrieve Cadmus' soul, thereby making his young and untimely death permanent. Enraged, Andor then drew his great black sword and swore blasphemous curses against the Lord of Divinity. As he left the Church, Cadmus' corpse over his shoulder, Andor felt his divine powers ebbing away; the brilliant internal light that had been his constant compantion was now receding. Never again would he be called Champion of Pelor.
They say, then, that Andor then took Cadmus to the last person he would have wished: an aged, bent shaman who lived far from society, and dabbled in dark magics. The man charged a heavy fee but promised life for Cadmus; Andor readily agreed. Imagine, then, his horror when, after several hours of eldritch chanting, Andor saw Cadmus rise shakily to his feet, stinking of rot. Andor called to him, but Cadmus neither spake nor rose his eyes; he only stood, swaying slightly. When Andor reached out to him, the figure lurched, retching vile blood. As the old man, cackling, held out his hand for payment, Andor drew once again his black blade, for what he hoped would be the last time. With swift strokes, he cut down both the wicked shaman and the horrid thing which was once his blood brother.
Staring down at the carnage, Andor suddenly realized that Cadmus' death, and the death of the old man, could both have been avoided if only he had been stronger, or faster, or not so foolish. It was then that Andor swore a vow to himself: as long as he was alive, he would work to protect those who could not protect themselves. Those who harmed others, either directly or indirectly, or used them without care for their lives or wellbeing——as Pelor had used and discarded Cadmus——would be punished.
If death was to be final for Cadmus, so it would be final for those worthy of punishment. Andor would be the vessel of that punishment, carrying it to those who had committed crimes against other humans. Sheathing his blade, Andor picked his way back to town. If fulfillment of his oath required him to achieve immortality, then so be it.

Followers are forbidden from seeking resurrection for their loved ones, either from the Church of Andor or from other Churches. Andor believes that
Andor is worshipped by those who
- Favored Class: Champion, Fighter, Ranger, Assassin
- Favored Weapon: Greatsword
- Domains: Darkness, Harm, Healing, Law, Madness, Protection, Strength
- Key teachings: rage, shame, grief, loss, retribution, protection, strength, health, loyalty

Allies and Enemies
The enmity between between Andor and Dolon is legendary. Many times, violence between the two has been avoided only through Prospero's intervention. Andor describes Dolon as a product of exactly the kind of manipulation and zealous incaution that he protects against.
Andor is a sworn enemy of Zon-Kuthon and Krathak, both of whom pursue violence as an end in itself, not as a means to eventual peace.
In any case, Andor's philosophy does not garner many friends within the Hall of the Immortals. He considers Daimon a reliable, if odd, ally; both, after all, advocate nonviolence, albeit in different ways. Pelor remains friendly to him, though Andor does not return the favor. There are some who say that Andor seeks one day to gut Pelor upon his black sword, finally avenging the death of his friend Cadmus…
Game Rule information
Clerics of Andor may never cast Raise Dead, Resurrection, or True Resurrection, or seek resurrection for fallen companions through other churches.

Today in Automotive History: Ayrton Senna Dies
19 years ago today, one of the most brilliant Formula 1 racers of all time, Ayrton Senna, was killed during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix in Italy. Only 34 years old, Senna's legacy as the world's best racer was cemented in 1988, when he became World Champion for the first time, despite teammate Alain Prost scoring more points. Their rivalry that began during the 1988 season continued well until Prost's retirement after the 1993 season. That rivalry serves as a centerpiece to the brilliant 2010 documentary Senna, which includes Prost's royal screwing of Senna at the 1989 Japanese GP (watch it here if you have Netflix. Even if you don't know a thing about racing, it's still a fantastic watch). Senna regained his Champion status in 1990 and again in 1991.
Senna fought many battles on and off the race track, whether it was him versus other drivers or FIA President Jean-Marie Balestre, but he constantly fought for more safety regulations in F1, an inherently dangerous sport. The morning of his death, Senna met with other drivers in an attempt to force greater safety conditions as a result of the previous day's death of Roland Ratzenberger during qualifying for the San Marino GP. More stringent regulations appeared in F1 soon after as a result of his and Ratzenberger's passings. Here are just a few highlights from Senna's remarkable career.

Trucks are the prime movers of the economy. We rely on them much for the delivery of our everyday goods. Without them, it would be impossible to shop for your weekly groceries, or receive packages from a friend living afar. With this high demand for trucks, it is impossible not to share roads with them. However, lawyers from the Sampson Law Firm say sharing roads with these colossal vehicles makes pedestrians and other drivers more prone to truck-related incidents. So to avoid getting into any trouble, it is important to inspect your truck first before hitting the road. You may do a clockwise check of your truck for your pre-trip inspection. To guide you, here are the things to watch out for when checking your truck:
• Engine – Look for leaks under the truck. Check if your belt is cracked, bent, frayed or broken. Wires should be properly mounted. See if the coolant reservoir is not leaking. Engine oil, power steering oil, and coolant should all be in normal levels.
• Tires and rims – Check your tires for any bulge and cracks. Air pressure should be within the recommended level. The depth of your tire treads should not be less than what is recommended. If you have dual tires, make sure that there is nothing stuck between the two tires.
• Mirrors and lights – Headlights, tail lights, and turn lights should all be working properly. Mirrors should be clear of any dirt and smudge, and should be properly mounted to provide better visibility.
• Trailer – Check if your load is properly secured. Electric and air lines should be tightly mounted. Trailer suspensions should have no leaks. Frames should be free from any crack and there should be no missing cross members.
Inspecting your truck before hitting the road is necessary not just for your safety, but also for the safety of others who share the road with you.

MS-Office InfoPath: Windows SharePoint Services Error
Hello guys,
I met an error while using Microsoft Office InfoPath. The error message goes:
Microsoft Office InfoPath
The following computer running Windows SharePoint Services does not contain the required InfoPath from template:http//server2008:81
A generic from template will be used instead.
This is my first time to encounter this message. I am also new in using Microsoft Office InfoPath. As I looked for some discussion over the internet, there is no such topic that fits my scenario and the application has no help topic about this error message. So I am posting this scenario here in techyv to get some advices on how to solve this issue.
Thanks a lot guys.

John wasn't interested in the authentic biology; he wanted to be aware what his son had been doing all this obsolescent. He decided there was something going on that Burguns was either hesitant or refusing to explain.
"Oh, you know. The usual. A couple of different dildos. Vibrator. Um… nothing much." He was staring at me like it was. I smiled slowly. We were going to have soooo much fun. I hadn't occupied them for ages, actually. I'd gone out and bought them when Grae was on a business disconcert conducive to a couple of weeks and I'd been lonely. He couldn't figure out why I was so into phone sex that trip. He was a bit shocked when he got home. He not in any way entirely warmed up to the concept of it, although on rare occasions he had liked to use them on me.

So, let's talk about Chespin…
Since it's been about a month since I last posted, and Pokemon X and Y are due out in 2 months, let's talk about my favorite of the three starters: Chespin.
I love him. He's the best.
Er.. I'll think of more, I promise!

Edited 8/7/2013Oops, my bad. Apparently, the credit for the picture never made it in.
Picture is by CJsux on Deviantart.
Now it's all done…
Yesterday morning, Flipnote Hatena's website went down, and at 2:59 this morning, the DSi version took it's last breath. So, that's it… Even though I never made any flipnotes of my own, it was still fun to go on and see some of the amazing things other people have done. Hopefully, the community will be just as great on Flipnote 3D!
Thanks Hatena, for making the past few years awesome!
Farewell Flipnote Hatena!
Since I don't currently have a DSi, this is the last time I get to use Flipnote Hatena. It's been over 4 years, and I've enjoyed the service, and I will always remember the fun I had watching and commenting on Flipnotes. I never really made any, but it was still fun to be part of a great community.
And now, all of that is gone… all that's left–are memories.
Thanks for all the great memories, and good luck in the future!!!

Combine their expertise with their passion for anything automobile, and you will find yourself with an auto repair shop unlike any other in Noblesville.
For Reggie, the owner of Reggie's Motorworks, and his team, auto repair is not just a job, but almost a way of life. Ever since Reggie was a child, he was taking things apart just to put them back together again, and eventually, this curiosity turned to cars. When he was younger, he purchased a derelict BMW and turned it into a dependable and well-built racecar. In fact, this car is still in the family and is driven by our Service Manager, Nick Howard at local track events. This passion and enthusiasm push the team to do their best, no matter the service, and this knowledge and expertise results in precise, efficient, and accurate auto repair.
Our goal at Reggie's Motorworks is to never have a client's car show up on a tow truck. We prefer to maintain a car, rather than repair it. When you bring your vehicle into our facility for service, we will carefully inspect it, looking for signs of current or potential trouble. Because our knowledge of German vehicles is extensive, we are well-versed in what issues commonly afflict a particular make or model of car. For example, MINI cars are prone to timing chain and tensioner issues, so we keep an eye out for any symptoms of disarray. Overall, for all the services we provide to Noblesville drivers, we sincerely care about the health and safety of our customers.
When looking for a potential auto service center, you can't help but have several criteria. Reggie's Motorworks is an auto repair shop that will meet all your specifications and more.

Schedule an appointment online or call us, and we are located at 1362 S 10th Street, Noblesville, IN 46060.

Our shop has the complete line of diagnostic computers and specialized tools to match the level of service a dealership typically offers. In addition, our staff of factory certified technicians have years of experience in diagnosing and solving problems unique to these special cars.
If you're looking to upgrade the performance of your car or give it a little more "show" to go along with the "go" we can help you out. Everything from ECU software upgrades, lowering suspensions, engine swaps, and body-kit installs. We even do custom fabrication of some elements. Modifying a car is a delicate art, and we've got the experience and resources to do your car right. We're an authorized dealer/installer for Dinan Engineering, Active Autowerke, Tire Rack, Ireland Engineering and many more.

Folks at Keeneland's fall meet Saturday might have had an unexpected A-list Hollywood encounter: Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.
Theron, not one of the usual horse-loving celebs we see this time of year, was at the track as the guest of Dixiana Farm owner and film producer William Shively, Keeneland spokeswomen Amy Gregory and Bonnie Senft said.
Shively was an executive producer of Theron's 2008 limited-release film Sleepwalking.
Theron helped present the trophy for Saturday's Grade I Breeders' Futurity, sponsored by Dixiana Farms. It was the eighth race of the day. Theron was joined in the winner's circle by Shively and his wife, Donna, and Keeneland president Nick Nicholson.
Theron, 34, is a widely known animal-rights activist and supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. She won an Oscar in 2004 for playing real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the film Monster. Critic Roger Ebert called it "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema." Her next film is the animated Astro Boy, scheduled for release Oct. 23.
Shively's Tower Hill Entertainment is producing the 2010 film The Rum Diary, based on the novel by Louisville native Hunter S. Thompson and starring Owensboro native Johnny Depp. Tower Hill also has produced Lucky Number Slevin and The Butterfly Effect.
In Lexington, Shively reunited the historic Dixiana Farm and Domino Stud; he also owns Woodland Farm (formerly Woodlynn Farm). In the name of his Tomoka Hills Farm in Gainesville, Fla., Shively bred champion sprinter Benny the Bull.

My question is how long does it take to work off your sleep debt. I've been on CPAP therapy for about a month now, have mostly good nights, some bad (if I sleep on my back), but I'm finding that on some days I'm still getting sleepy during the day.
So I'm curious to know when and if I'll ever be able to rid myself of about thirty years worth of sleep debt.

Hi Peeps...hope all is well today. Lisa Duke here to share a tutorial on how I put a layout together. This was a challenge for me to make and I am glad to escape my box!! I made this for PaperHaus Magazine and Handmade Halo Design Team.I am also playing along at Berry71Bleu with this layout!
#: First I picked out the photos I wanted to use and I have been wanting to scrap this photo of my dgd for awhile.
On this background I decided to try an image transfer. I have never done
one before. So I picked out and image I wanted to use and got out my
Gloss Gel
Medium. I didn't want the whole page so I painted my medium just on the
image, giving it a pretty good coat, then placing it face down on my
background. Now let it dry completely.
Handmade Halo, these are just 2 of the hundreds you can choose from!!!! Hope you enjoyed my tutorial...Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Quote of the Day: The Special Needs Prime Minister
Two Conservative prime ministers gambled and lost in the space of 12 months in the mistaken expectation of party advantage. But May is what you might call a slow learner.
Understatement of the day
While reporting on the Belgian reaction to the UK election result, and providing a bit of context, VRT mentions that Theresa May called the election in order to strengthen her hand in the Brexit negotiations by increasing her majority in the British Parliament.
However, things didn't quite go to plan
Not quite.
Quote of the Day: On bringing back blood sports
Look, I know a lot of bleeding hearts are always appalled by the sight of the Conservative party in pursuit, as a wounded leader desperately tries to get back to its foxhole. But I'm afraid those hand-wringers simply don't understand the traditions involved or the wonderful community bonds that are forged over the activity. Well done to May for supporting its return.

A desk that almost floats.
What keeps it from flying away is a compact little chest with six drawers.
In this particular case it is attached to the outside, because it stands next to our sofa and acts as a small side table as well.

Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga yesterday confirmed that the county had set aside Sh50 million to renovate the county government offices in Nyeri town.
"We want to ensure that all county executives and chief officers are under one roof at the governor's offices so they are accessible to the public," said Kahiga.
Currently, county executives are spread across the town in offices that housed national government departments before devolution.
"It's important that county departments work and relate well as a team," the governor said when he hosted journalists for a breakfast meeting.
In the previous administration under the late Governor Nderitu Gachagua, a similar initiative was undertaken with the renovation of Karson House.
The move caused controversy as Sh40 million was spent in 2013 to renovate two floors.

Ballast Point Piper Down
origin: San Diego, CA
price: $5/22oz
Make no mistake, this is a complex, flavorful ale which has remnants of an American strong ale (without the strong) and an almost quad-like tinge. Lots of squaw bread and raisin, tempered with a nice stable level of brown-sugar and maltiness. This is not insanely hoppy like it's older brother, Tongue Buckler, but just bitter enough to keep your senses tuned to the beer's inherent complexity.
As a professional crappy-beer brewer, this is indeed not crappy and quite interesting; but, what seems more interesting is the process of making it. The bottle reads (in little detail) that this goes through a three hour boil, which seems like a pretty long boil-time by most brewing standards. Oddly, though, the ABV doesn't indicate that the long boil time produced some sugary reduction that you could pour over pancakes (nor does the appearance).
I would say definitely pick this up and see what you think, although I can't immediately think of a good time to drink the style. Oh... wait... while eating barbecue. Or, haggis?

Some years ago I ran a township tour for half a dozen Sudanese journalists visiting Parys. We went to Tumahole and the visitors had their fortunes told by Sangomas throwing the bones and going into trances. After the throwing of the bones there was a throwing of dollars into the same pile.
That was a once-off tour. It's only when you set out to start a new township tourism business that you realise how much needs to be done – and how many skills, and connections, are involved.
I'm currently helping a guide, Shadrach Qwele, to get his accreditation as an NQF-qualifed tour guide for Tumahole. He has years of experience guiding with me in the Vredefort Dome and on the Vaal & Orange rivers. He has already developed the township tour and proved that he has all the people skills, the business sense and the enthusiasm needed to make a lasting success of things.
Things are happening on the local scene with the founding of a new tourism association and promotions planned for Heritage Day in September. So it's a good time to get going. Continue reading Setting up township tours

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hello @all,
I'm using osticket to manage internal user requests.
For this reason I create a new ticket via mail sent to the email address defined.
After that, I want to append mails to the same ticket number from different email address, because all team can partecipate to complete the ticket.
To do that I type the ticket number [#??????] on the subject.
Problem: the program appends the mail to the requested ticket, only if is sent from the user that create the ticket. Otherwise, the osticket create a new ticket number, also if I set the ticket number on the subject.
Can I have a way to append mail to the same ticket number, only checking the ticket nukber? The email address is no relevant on my case.
I tried to found a solution within the forum, but without solution.
Thanks in advance for support.
I see that the agent that manage the ticket cannot send reply to the ticket via mail.
In my case, I want to extend this feature to all user, the agent that manage the ticket, too.
Do I have a possibility to make this extension?
I didn't find, but I will look for, yet.

According to eye witnesses, the accident occurred after the driver of the benz cargo truck which was carrying goods and traders, lost control of the steering wheel which had reportedly locked and plunged into a gutter.
Three persons died on the sport, while four others who had been trapped beneath the truck were rescued with the help of Fire Service personnel who arrived at the scene to lift the truck which had fallen on its side.
The bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at the morgue while the injured are receiving treatment at the hospital.

A lot has changed since we were a crazy sports family. We still enjoy and participate in sports... but we are no longer topsy turvy about it. As a result, we have a lot more time to do other stuff. And sometimes, to do nothing much at all...
Crash and Button are still riding, thanks to the help of familial benefactors. We go once a week to the barn and pretend that we are not city folk through and through. Now that the weather is nicer, the lessons are occasionally outside...
Button is our wannabe farm-girl. She doesn't mind scooping manure and would visit the barn just to pat the horses.
Crash does not wish to live on a farm. He wishes to be a cowboy riding on the open range. They are currently enrolled in English riding lessons because that was the only affordable option. It's still a lot of fun for them but I think he dreams of switching that helmet for a cowboy hat. He would not visit the barn just to pat the horses... but only if he could ride one.
There was a time when we thought the two would have to split up for lessons since she is 3 years younger... but I believe that she willed herself to grow several inches taller and a good deal stronger in one year so that they could stay together.
Professor recently founded the youth arm of the Cleveland Right to Life and is slowly developing community and action plans. This means being busy with good work and getting to know some of the coolest people on the planet.
(It also means an upcoming trip to Ohio Right to Life offices to receive his video contest prize... not that a 15-year old would be that excited about owning an ipad mini... not at all.)
"Tough guy" pose with Bryan Kemper of Stand True, the youth outreach of Priests for Life.
One angle of Bryan's van. Giving new purpose and character to the ubiquitous big white utility van.
We can't seem to forget how much we enjoy the sport. Now that multiple children are advanced enough to play together with their dad (I just sit on the side looking like I ate the ball), it is much more fun for the family. There are many times when I would love to see them progress to a higher level but we have to constantly keep those desires in check. One way to do that is to observe the lives of their friends who are "all in" with the club scene. If we had continued on that same path, Cookie would have spent Easter in Baltimore and she would be practicing multiple times a week through the Summer for nationals in Texas in late June... immediately after which training and open gyms (and cut-throat competition for coveted spots) begin again. When she was reminded about what her schedule would have been, she expressed her profound gratitude for our lifestyle change in spite of her desire to play.
Instead of bleeding money, time, and energy, we are a much more balanced. That does not completely cure the itch to play however, and they will be enjoying court time this Summer (indoor and beach). Professor has a beach partner and they will be playing in some tournaments this season. Please don't ask me what we plan to do if they earn a national bid. I intend to pretend that I have no clue that this is even a possibility. I'm going to be having a baby in July for crying out loud. Other competing activities do not compute.
Little Cub hanging out at the gym watching his big brother play.
We cook.
A lot. I can't lie and say that my dietary changes haven't required a shift in the way things work in my kitchen. If I would have known a few years ago how many hours a day I spend preparing and eating food right now (I am currently homeschooling 6 kids and pregnant with one, you know), I would have found a home with a MUCH larger kitchen.
Almond Flour pancakes mentioned in my previous post. Delicious. Professor ate 11 of them this morning. And speaking of Professor and his eating habits...
Household Dietary Changes.
My two biggest kids have taken it upon themselves to improve their diets and implement some of what they have read in Wheat Belly. The biggest surprise of all is Professor's decision and commitment to this change. I assumed he would do it for a week and then quickly slide back into his old ways (being one of the pickiest eaters of all time and preferring pizza to pretty much all other foods). Instead...
...He is happy and feeling good. He has struggled with some stomach issues since he was born (throwing up his meals until he was 6) and has experienced a lot of relief since eliminating wheat. He also has lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks while still eating quite a lot of food. He looks and feels great. His sisters keep teasing him about his "skinny" face and he doesn't seem to mind. I am more than happy to cook real food for him.
He was commenting this morning that perhaps he should make these changes permanent. I told him that I fully support that and will continue to. I did suggest that he start learning how to cook his own food to prepare for when he is out of the house. Additionally, I informed him that if he becomes a priest, I will be happy to cook for his freezer periodically if I am able. If he gets married, I'm afraid I'll have to pass along the job so he'd better work that out with her ahead of time. :)
Cookie is easier to please with food because she is not nearly as picky as her brother. She also loves to cook and has been a tremendous blessing to me in the kitchen.
When we quit crazy-level-youth-sports, we concurrently decided to renew our commitment to the liturgical life. That meant putting daily mass on our schedule at least two times per week and treating it as a priority. This is sad, backwards, and humbling to admit but... I have had to mentally treat our family Mass time as if it were as immovable as a sports practice. That means saying no to other things because we have a prior commitment. It is difficult to publicly admit the state of my mind but also a good reminder of how easily and quickly our priorities can get screwed up.
Baby Girl.
This is not our Little Miss but her older brother. I will have new photos of her royal highness next week. But yeah, I pretty much think about her all the time. We are still trying to agree on a name. Ideally, I think it is best to come up with a name asap so that we can witness to the truth and goodness of her pre-born life by using it often with others. But... what can you do with stubborn husbands?
Some family members are convinced that we are keeping the name a secret because we had early negative backlash from the last choice. I can assure them with a clean conscience that this is not the case. It is simply a case of stubborn husband.

How do builder get their concrete floor smooth and glass like finish?
Mine are always powdery and coarse.
How do builder get their concrete floor smooth and glass like finish?
Mine are always powdery and coarse.
With a power float.
If its powdery, sounds like its something wrong with the mix are you mixing by hand or is it ready mix?
this is our shed floor being power floated, they started pouring at 7am and started floating at about 10pm and finished at about 4am next morning. a very long day and they made it look easy. http://www.collyerdrainage.co.uk/
As above, power float. Bet they were knackered after the end of that day!
What sort of price is it to surply and lay 100 cube of concrete for a shed floor ?.
Ball park figure we work with for floor laying, including digging out, hardcore sub-base and 6inch concrete is £30-35 per square meter (of floor area)
How much is a cub of concrete now adays?
£80 here.
How long do you wait after pouring till you can powerfloat?
wait until you can walk on it and hardly leave a mark, last floor i did took at least 24hrs as it was cold my advice would be wait until you think it is ready then wait a while longer

SEOUL — The building for South Korea-based Akom Prods. sits in a far-flung, sleepy suburb in the southern part of the capital, in a seven-story structure quietly nestled beside a residential apartment complex. Few would suspect this as the building of the company that help brings to life, with nearly 180 freelancers and employees, America's beloved and beleaguered, delightfully dysfunctional Simpsons family.
One might similarly misread Nelson Shin, the founder of Akom and the man who brought large-scale animation gigs to Korea and pushed legions of Korean animators into American primetime — you know them as the huge block of Korean names that runs in every episode's end credits.
Shin is a slight yet robust man with a surprisingly powerful, brusque voice; he speaks with a polite confidence and natural authority bolstered by years of success. He actually resembles, a tiny bit, the Simpsons characters Akom draws, marked by a cute upturn of the upper lip, a shock of somehow youthful white hair, and a generally happy demeanor.
He has reason to be happy — and proud — as the man who jumpstarted an industry here: 72% of the $2.3 billion Korea generates in exported animation each year is material originally outsourced by foreign producers. "The Simpsons" is generally recognized as having been the catalyst.
Although animation work for "The Simpsons" is shared fairly equally with competitor Rough Draft Korea today, the "big bang" for Korean animation came in 1985, when Shin established his Seoul studio and put South Korean animators on the map with projects such as "My Little Pony: The Movie," "The Transformers: The Movie," and then "Tiny Toons Adventures" and "The Simpsons."
It's hard, hard work, as production manager Ji-yeun Yi makes clear in her tour of Akom's facilities. The company generally has 12 weeks to finish a "Simpsons" episode. Yi calls this "simple," and Shin says it was "a piece of cake" compared with "The Simpsons Movie," which will reach theaters this summer.
Akom's 20 dedicated Simpsons animators (out of the company's 50) are busily finishing up the feature film for America's favorite family; accordingly, there are countless boxes, special-delivery sleeves and desks filled to the brim with sketches, notes and other memoed minutiae.
Rendered by gender
Most striking are the boxes of immense folders, 4 inches to 8 inches thick, each holding the drawings for a single scene of a "Simpsons" episode. Rows of mostly female, headphoned, humming computer jockeys scan, paint and layer the drawings atop one another in the computers, element by element.
A floor below, it gets more old school — there is nary a computer (nor a woman) in sight — with older men manning aged, wooden easel desks marinated with years of scribbling, scratching and erasing. Here is where the crucial "keyframes" are drawn, which the mostly younger, female animators in the adjacent room weave together with their "between" frames that are all sent upstairs to the computers.
Both Shin and Yi dismiss the notion that cheaper labor offered by China and Vietnam might eventually spell trouble for their industry, now that Korea's cost of living, higher wages and rising fortunes mean expenses are going up.
"Smaller studios send work directly to China because it's cheaper," Shin says, "but in the long run, they don't keep a consistent level of quality, so it bounces back to Korea."
Shin believes the high demand of maintaining quality and the particular, peculiar "Simpsons" look while under the gun will keep the hands that draw "The Simpsons" unquestionably Korean for a long time to come.

Saudi Revolution Watch - Is It a Civil War if Only One Side Fights?
Some people have started referring to the terrorism/insurgency/rebellion as civil war. Can it really be a civil war if only al Qaeda is fighting? Sure the Saudis have arrested 600 and killed a few dozen. But they are still treating this as a crime spree, at best. Even the Saudi bagman in DC, Prince Bandar, son of Prince Sultan, the Saudi Defence Minister, wrote in the Washington Post that Saudi society does not yet consider this a war.
"I personally think that both the [Saudi] state and citizens have not yet reached that important, basic and necessary stage for [them to be able] to win the war. This means general mobilization for war in thought and in deed, as individuals and as a whole, in the media and in the culture -- a mobilization of all state institutions and the private sector towards this goal, and viewing everything in life based [on the premise that] we are at war.
"War means war. It does not mean Boy Scout camp. It is a war that does not mean delicacy, but brutality."
He compares the current situation to a key event in Saudi history. In 1930 King Saud's rule was threatened by the same fanatical Wahhabi militia , the Ikhwan, that had helped him seize power years earlier. Saud mobilized the military and brutally crushed them. A Saudi version of the Night of the Long Knives.
Bandar believes that al Qaeda isn't as strong as the Ikhwan and that the current Saudi state is stronger than it was 75 years ago. Technically he's right. Al Qaeda does not have thousands of armed soldiers and the Saudi military is very well supplied with some impressive military hardware. Bandar wishes it were a civil war. On paper the Saudis win easily since it's such a lopsided battle.
Except that it's not a battle. This is not a fledgling state fighting a pitched battle in the desert. Al Qaeda doesn't have to defeat the Saudi military on the battlefield. This is a revolution. The dynamics are completely different. The ancient regime is always militarily superior to the revolutionary force. Ask the Shah or the Czar.
The oil wealth has made the country incomparably more vulnerable than it was in 1930. The modern infrastructure, the dependence on foreign workers, the complexity of the oil facilities make the country almost delicate in the face of a well-armed, well-trained, Leninist sytle vanguard. As bad as Bandar thinks, it's worse.
