In and outs of the political campaigns, focusing on Michigan and Lansing, Tim Skubick will report regularly throughout the primary and then general election campaigns.
Wednesday, March 17, 2010
This could get real nasty and fast.
The battle for Attorney General on the democratic side is shaping up as a battle of the titans. On one side you have the Bernstein family and the trial lawyers and on the other, the political punch of the United Auto Worker's union.
The two sides are on a collison course and Richard Bernstein could not be happier.
"We're going to have one hell of a convention," he said bursting at the seams at the thought of taking on the most powerful union in the Democratic party.
Bernstein is not bashful about laying it out.
Traditionally the union has been the 800 pound gorilla and is never bashful about tossing around its weight.
Bernstein says he and others are tired of all that.
"When you look at the UAW, there's a lot of people in this party who are tired of being pushed around and there's a lot of people who are being tired of being told what to do" and as if that is not enough, it closes with, "and there's a lot of people who are saying basically, you know, enough is enough."
Take that Solidarity House. Warm letter to follow.
The union wants David Leyton, the prosecutor in Genesee County to be the Attorney General as a possible stepping stone to being governor some day.
"I will not use the job as a stepping stone to anything,' Bernstein asserts while being reminded that the union controls a ton of delegates at a state party convention.
Bernstein says he is not scared off by that and predicts, "I will bring all kinds of new people into the party" to help him beat Goliath.
With his daddy's money and ground support from the trial lawyers, you can't count him out.
Bernstein doesn't saying, "I've been counted out my entire life…This just makes me work harder."
Oh boy. This will be fun to watch.

A Mesolow developed over Lake Superior today and moved rapidly northeast towards Ontario. As the system moved near Pukaskwa, ON (48.6 N, 86.3 W), winds there shifted from northwest at 3 knots at 1800 UTC to northeast at 5 knots at 1900 UTC to west at 7 knots, gusting to 16 knots at 2000 UTC. (An animation of surface plots overlain on the satellite imagery is here). The mesolow seems to have developed as an interaction with the topography on Isle Royale. Lake Surface temperatures are in the mid-30s, as is typical this time of year, and 850-mb temperatures (as measured at International Falls at 1200 UTC) were around -18 C.
GOES-West provided an oblique view of the system development, shown above.
Hat tip to the National Weather Service in Marquette Michigan for first alerting us to this system's presence!

History of Darek B,
Dear Reverend Bishop, I regret to inform you that Fr.. Stanislaw lured me to each other [...] offered drink, after which I felt limp, he led me to bathroom, stripped naked and bathed me....Next he raped me...-said in a letter to the bishop Regmunt, the injured Dariusz Badowski. In the letter he asked Father. bishop officially take a position, and reporting the rape to the authorities church in Rome.
I regret to inform you that at the turn of the year 19801981, ks. Stanislaw under nativity scenes pretext lured me to him (Major Seminary), where then he served as Administrative Director. Then I came from Świebodzin to Gościkowa bus at the invitation of priest Stanislaus to see the nativity play performed by clerics. Due to the late time, I did not have a bus to return home, and I was forced to sleep in the seminary, which used to be agreed between a priest and my parents. After the presentation, the priest took me to his apartment, which was located on the harbor entrance to the seminar. The first moments of your stay spent in front of TV. Then Fr. Stanislaw offered one me a drink, after which I felt limp and heavily dazed. Then led me to the bathroom, he stripped naked and bathed me in the tub. After the bath composed me prepared bed, and then he went somewhere. When he returned, he was stripped naked and he lays down beside me. Then, he touched and kissed me in the private parts and then he masturbated me and then himself. After all I was hoping he would leave me alone but I was wrong. After a short break he again began to masturbate me, and then again. When satisfied himself, out of bed, she wiped with a towel and went into the other room. I felt like a trash, battered, defiled, humiliated. I prayed all the time, and actually it was a cry to God, asking him to make this night finally over. In the morning when it was light, I dressed up and wanted to leave, but then came ks. Stanislaw and handed me a gift (scarf). After that I left and headed toward the bus stop. Ks. Stanislaw did not even try to stop me. I have been long waiting for the bus in the cold but I didn't care about it. I preferred to stand in the cold and freezing than even a minute longer be with a priest in his apartment. I was ashamed to myself about what had happened. I could not look anyone in the eye, because it seemed to me that all know what had happened. This feeling of defilement can not be expressed in human words, and no one except the people who survived the same thing, is not able to understand what this feeling. Some time later, Father. Stanislaw came twice to my house and urged me to go with him on vacation in his homeland. After I refused him, he did not try more to contact me. I was 13 years old, I attended the seventh grade of primary school No. 3 in Swiebodzin. I deteriorated in science because I could not concentrate on anything. I had constantly before my eyes the terrible scenes of that night with a priest. Even my teacher noticed that something was wrong and called my parents to the school. She said to my parents then that I walk continually in thought and I am very secretive in myself ( I was absent in class). She asked my parents if I do not have a problem with drugs- when I heard it I was very hurt, because behind it was another truth that so much ashamed for me. Dear bishop, respectfully I'm asking you about the exemplary for all dioceses in Poland and in the world. Please verify and clear respond to my case and for all sexual offenses committed against of minors by clergy. I am asking you to respect teaching of Jesus Christ : "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me. 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous intoeternal life."(st. Matthew).
I come from a good pious family, I was raised in a spirit of faith. After my Holy Communion I became an altar and served to the masses for many years in the parish. st.Michael the Archangel in Swiebodzin. After this traumatic experience, however, I did not lose faith .On the contrary, faith gave me strength and hope. I helped in the "Oasis" and went on pilgrimage to Rokitno and Czestochowa. After graduating from high school.
I began to study at the Pontifical Faculty of Theology in Gorzow Wielkopolski what certainly confirm this Father. Roman Harmaciński- the Rector Gorzowska Section of the Pontifical Faculty of Theology. After the departure of Polish I involved with the organizing point of Catholic Mission in St. Daunu. p. ks. Bielaszewskiego (diocese of Trier), and so far (already 23 years) is held here once a month masses in Polish. Since 21 years I live in married, have two children. Son 11 years and daughter 14 months. Both baptized and son after the first Holy Communion was an altar boy, and I am proud. From this event it's been 33 years, the same as our Lord when he died for our sins on the cross, died for the truth he preached. I hope that I will not die for my truth because I have someone to live for. As I look at my children, full of joy and confidence, drawing their hands to Mommy or Daddy , I pray in my heart that did not met them as a tragic shock as their father before many years ago. That's what happened to me, it happened to also many others and further happens because the priests pedophiles are still in parishes and have contact with children. For God's sake-let Your Excellency do something about it, to never happen this to our defenseless children, full of joy, confidence and faith. There is nothing more precious in human life than the Child. "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.( Mark 10, 13-16). It is time for examination of conscience of the Catholic Church to be able to clean up and preach Truth, live and grow in truth. "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (Jn 14,1-12) . Venerable Reverend Bishop, this is not fight with the Church, it is not the desire to tarnish the name of the Father, it is not the desire to gain material because the law is in my case a long time ago barred. This letter, and what I am doing now is just a testament to the bitter truth and aims to erase or minimize this type of crime in the ranks of the Church Catholic and more. As long as the perpetrators will escape with impunity, they will continue to work and destroy the child what is most precious inside them : Love, Faith and Virtue. Not victims of these crimes have to be afraid to talk about it but those have to be afraid- who raped them. Because victims are stigmatized and hurt deeply. The wound does not heal ever, with the wound you have to learn to live-thank God I made it. However, not everyone is able to handle with this. It often ends in tragedy when the pain becomes not to handle and such a man attempt on his life and ends life because of this terrible disease called spiritual depression. Please understand me, my goal is the first place to protect innocent children, still exposed to sexual abuse, they not have to go through the same hell like me and providing assistance to victims, which were the same and do not have the courage orther strength to talk about it and deal with it. I just got back from church, I was there with my children to Mass and I heard these words: " We born to give witness to the truth.". It felt as someone had said to me on my 33 years of asked the question "why me, why?" Now, I'm sure, and I can answer the priest why I'm doing this."I was born and I was sexually abused by a priest, would now give testimony truth, all those who live in truth ... "All those who do not live in the truth, do not believe in my testimony.

I had unprotected sex January 1 and around the 6th I missed a pill but took two the next day and then I started bleeding dark brown blood for a couple of days I took all the rest of my pills and recently just finished taking my sugar pills and on to a new pack with no real period
Was spotting early in birth control but no period during sugar pills am I pregnant ?

Do you understand that when you are on the pill you aren't having unprotected sex, the pill protects you from pregnancy? The spotting was just because you missed a pill. You did what you should have when you missed a pill. When you are on the pill the lining of your uterus lessens. This gives you less to "bleed" so periods can be shorter and lighter and you can even skip one once in a while. You shouldn't worry until you miss two periods in a row on the pill.
i am on the 3rd month of zoely pill, the first month i took it my period was 9 days long, the second month was 5 days long, now it starts very light brown discharge on he 27th day of my cycle with the 4th placebo pill, a little red at night then stopped. i had sex the next day with no brown discharge then it comes a bit red again , a small amount on the pad till morning and again brown discharge and again some red what is the problem i'm very worried , and to make it clear i never missed a pill since now, can you help me please?

"I mentioned to you once on the ultimate Frisbee field that I was doing some of thinking on the idea of Christian warfare, especially given what Christ says about turning the other cheek, or how the Kingdom of God being one in which the lion and the lamb will lay down together and even what the prophets say about how swords will be so useless that they will be beaten down into plowshares (Micah 4:3).
How it should look for a Jesus follower to pilot a war machine like an jet? I realize through the Ten Commandments that God's character abhors injustice and murder, but is it against Christ's teachings to shoot a gun at someone because their government is at war with your government?"
This was a great question I got a few years back…
First, an existence in which there is eventually no need for violence, predation, real competition, etc. is coming.
There will be a day for believers in which there will be no more sorrow, death, mourning, or pain, and God will wipe away their tears. (Revelation 21:4). I believe that the Micah passage and the Lion and the Lamb are about that existence which Jesus Himself will usher in to place (Isa 65:25, Isa 11:6).
Sadly, this is not yet that existence.
So, let me make clear, I am not at all saying that killing in combat is always right, but am just making the case that it CAN be right. How do you know when it is? We will look at that in a minute.Now, does a government have the right to call on someone else to kill? We have established that God has that right, and that thus, there must be times when it is morally right to kill… but does a government have the right to call upon someone to kill an enemy of the state?
In Romans 13, government is described as "an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil." (Rom 13:4, NASU) The New Testament biblical mandate to follow authority is clear in this passage and others (Titus 3:1, 1 Peter 2:13,14)… unless, of course, the authority of the governing body is over-ruled by the ultimate authority of God (like in Acts 4:19).
So, unless one believed that Jesus, in the New Testament, seems to prize a non-violent response to the world. This makes sense from the perspective He describes to Pilate just before the cross,
"Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." (John 18:36-37, NASU)
Finally, how does one know that it is ok to fight for one's country? Each person has to make the moral decision as to what makes a war a morally appropriate war themselves. Saint Thomas Aquinas is famous for making a strong biblical and ethical argument for war… and being one of the first serious philosophers to take on what is called "Just War Theory."
One modern and simplified version of it looks like this:
There are 6 things that need to be considered in order to decide if a war is just or not:
1. What is the cause – why are you fighting?
2. What is the intent – what are the goals?
3. Do you have the legal authority to do fight?
4. Do you have specific and achievable goals?
5. Will the casualties be legitimate; how many will there be?
6. What is the cost and destruction? How do these last two weigh against the rest?
It is interesting to me that given all else, Jesus requires the disciples to carry at least a couple of swords with them (Luke 22:36-38). I don't think anyone knows exactly what Jesus is talking about (though I think that it had something to do with random acts of violence that might be committed against them, like wild animals or bandits or such, not persecution or insult).
In conclusion, my personal stance is that the Bible reveals God as holding that war can be morally right. It is the responsibility of each believer to determine through the Holy Spirit and scripture their personal role in a governmental war, while avoiding the taking of non-combatant life and seeking to be an ambassador of Jesus Christ with your fellow soldiers… and, remember, loving your enemy and praying for him. There is a crazy one to apply, eh? (Matt 5:43-47).

has a brand new Nursery School Curriculum designed for the
pre-school child from the age of 3 months to 4 years. It is based on
the 6 Learning Areas and stimulates and guided the young child to
school readiness.
The 6 Learning Areas cover areas such as -
Language development
Physical development
Social, personal, emotional development
Creative development
Cognitive thinking
Memory skills
Numeracy Knowledge and understanding of the world.
Curro Thatchfield practises a system of 'invitational education' in which learners are seen as able, valuable and responsible. Our ethos is governed by Christian values where learners are encouraged to explore and express their individuality within acceptable boundaries and ultimately take responsibility for their actions.
We guide learners to follow their hearts and develop into the best people they can be. Our broad curriculum covers problem-solving, creative thinking and the development of skills and values. Both individual and group work is evaluated. Learners are prepared for the matriculation examinations set by the Independent Examination Board (IEB).
At Curro
Thatchfield our early childhood development centre caters for
children in Group 5 and Gr R.
In this phase we focus on four principles:
The unique child: Curro recognises that every child is a competent learner from birth and can be resilient, capable, confident, and self-assured.
Positive relationships: children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person (educator).
Enabling environments: our environment plays a key role in supporting and extending a child's development and learning.
Learning and development: our children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of learning and development are equally important and are inter-connected.
We have created a centre of learning where children can realise their full potential by providing a comprehensive, individual-orientated educational programme of the highest standard. Curro provides a sound foundation for completing the tasks and meeting the challenges of future learning.
We create an environment of opportunity where the child acquires general knowledge, the right attitudes and ethical and moral principles.
We encourage and teach each child social and life skills in a warm and loving environment.
We acknowledge that each child is an individual and we allow them to work at their own pace.
We create a sound and safe environment where each child is extended and growth is encouraged academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
FOUNDATION PHASE: Grade 1 to 3
In the foundation phase we focus on teaching the foundational skills, concepts and knowledge that are required for further learning. We offer a vibrant, invitational atmosphere where the learners enjoy school and where they acquire a love for learning that will sustain them throughout their school years. We acknowledge the potential in each learner to reach their optimum ability, and therefore there is less emphasis on competitiveness and more emphasis on individual achievement. We create opportunities for personal growth in independence and responsibility so that the learners can accept the challenge of being personally responsible and accountable for their actions in the intermediate phase.
The three main learning areas are:
Literacy - English, Afrikaans
Numeracy - mathematical and number concepts
Life skills - skills from a variety of learning areas
INTERMEDIATE and SENIOR PHASE: Grade 4 to 7
In the intermediate phase, the emphasis is still on establishing basic foundations, but learners are led into more abstract thinking and independent work. Application of skills and concepts is also a main focus aimed at preparing learners for the senior phase in the high school.
English, Afrikaans, third language (not compulsory)
Life Orientation
Natural Sciences (Biology and Physical Sciences)
Social Sciences (Geography and History)
Economic and Management Sciences
Arts and Culture
Information Technology
Extramurals: art, sport, drama, music, outings, camps, public speaking and debating, value-added programmes, and so much more.
HIGH SCHOOL: Grade
8 to 11 (Grade 12 in 2017)
Our ethos is governed by Christian values, with learners being encouraged to explore and express their individuality within acceptable boundaries, and ultimately take responsibility for their actions. We guide them to follow their hearts and develop into the best people they can be. Curro Thatchfield will produce teenagers who know how to think innovatively, express their ideas and take charge of their own lives. We follow the IEB curriculum and learners are prepared for the matriculation examinations set by the Independent Examinations Board (IEB). We also complete internal Curro benchmark exams.

Wireless Smart Car Keys: The Future Or Dumb Idea?
In the current generation of keyless entry for cars, a smart key system disengages the immobilizer and activates the ignition without inserting a key in the ignition. The system uses LF (low frequency, 125 kHz) and RF (radio frequency, >300 MHz).
The idea hit as of late while talked with Broadcom official Tom Ramsthaler, in charge of item promoting of remote connectivity. In examining the organization's up and coming 802.11ac/Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) combo chip, Ramsthaler disclosed to me what he imagines as in-vehicle applications empowered by Bluetooth LE.
He discussed the Nissan Watch, divulged at the Frankfurt Auto Show a month ago. The smartwatch, utilizing a Bluetooth LE association, assembles telemetry information from an auto with the goal that it can demonstrate the driver the auto's effectiveness data, for example, fuel utilization while likewise following execution. The Nissan Watch likewise monitors certain parameters of driver well being, similar to heart rate in a road turned parking lot.
Alright, somewhat fascinating. In any case, scarcely the mass business sector item that will incite each auto maker to grasp Bluetooth LE, it is thought. In any case, Ramsthaler said impromptu that Bluetooth LE would be valuable as a keen auto key.
NXP, outfitted with the lion's offer in the keen auto key business sector, had been intuition thusly. NXP thought of a solitary chip answer for multi-capacity auto keys utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC) innovation. The thought is for keys to interface with outer NFC-agreeable gadgets, for example, cellular telephones, tablets, and portable PCs. Reporting the item, called KEyLink Lite, NXP discussed potential "shrewd" key applications including auto discoverer, course organizer, and auto status/administration information administration.
Along these lines, now that Broadcom is going to the car market with Bluetooth LE chips, will we see a NFC versus Bluetooth LE fight blending in the keen auto key business sector?
On the other hand even better, will there be a day when we can get rid of our auto keys and flip open an auto entryway basically by waving the telephone?
Executive of worldwide car hone at Strategy Analytics, concurred that opening an auto with a smartphone is conceivable. In any case, he forewarned: "The issue is that many individuals go inside an auto to charge their smartphones. Consider the possibility that your smartphone as of now came up short on battery. You can't open your auto entryway!"
Applying NFC in a smartphone to the car security system is certainly feasible. But the driver still needs to walk up to a car and physically open the door — unless the smartphone is also integrated with an LF/RF-based keyless entry system.
Freeman explained, "With a smartphone, it's a two-step process. In contrast, the smart car key you use today can remotely flip a car open — instantly," without fiddling with your smartphone first.
But let's be clear: The idea of unlocking and locking the car and then starting the ignition with a phone has haunted the minds of some carmakers, such as Hyundai.
By using an embedded NFC tag in the car, Hyundai has designed a system that allows owners to unlock a vehicle, start the engine, and link up to the touchscreen with a quick swipe. The Korean automaker showed earlier this year what the company calls its "Connectivity Concept" in a demonstration i30 hatchback car.
So, the idea of the smartphone as your car key has been percolating for a few years, and it has gotten some attention from carmakers. Can a Bluetooth LE be that key?
One might say: Why not?
The first step in proving the feasibility of this concept is to make sure there is absolutely no EMC interference between a Bluetooth-based smart car key and the electronics inside the vehicle. Perhaps more important, Bluetooth LE requires power (albeit low energy). NFC connectivity "does not require a power supply in the key, hence does not affect the key's battery lifetime," according to NXP's spokesperson. "Setting up a connectivity link is done by a touch and would not require an exchange pairing credential upfront." In sum, NFC allows carmakers to focus on convenience and security.
Even assuming that either wireless technology — NFC or Bluetooth — works fine as a smart car key, technology suppliers need to clear one more hurdle.
NXP's Freeman explained that for a carmaker, the branded car key establishes the first and the most significant physical and tactile contact with car owners. Automotive companies might not be so eager to give up that precious branding opportunity to a smartphone — which bears no automotive brand.
for the time being, the NFC vs. Bluetooth LE battleground is likely to be focused more on connecting a smart car key with a smartphone (or any smart wearable device), rather than a smartphone replacing a car key.
According to NXP, the company's multi-function car key using NFC is "one member of a complete new product family designed for Smart Access solutions." The product family debuts in the market with model year '13 vehicles.

There is much to do and it's on days like this that I'm grateful for a throw-together, carefree style. It may be piping hot in Richmond, but today I'm actually in Indiana and there's always a chilly breeze as summer takes its sweet time in coming. I probably should have packed that extra long sleeve shirt...
However, this Weekend Wear features one smart move I made in this round of packing: a lightweight jacket. But this jacket had humble beginnings. It was super ugly, but somehow had potential. Am I the only one who's been at a goodwill or thrift store, find something you love, but it's just kind of awkward? It kind of works, kind of doesn't and you don't quite know why you were attracted to it in the first place. Well last fall, I found this canvas jacket but it didn't have a draw string or elastic waist that it's square shape should have demanded. Also, the sleeves don't match the length of my arms. So I risked three dollars, sewed an elastic band into the lining myself, rolled up the sleeves for a cropped look, and it paid off! It's perfect for running errands and I love pairing it with loose, flowy tops for casual, everyday looks.
(Photos by Sarah, edited by me)
Thoughts to mix it up: Since this jacket emphasizes the waist line (thanks elastic!), I love pairing longer, tunic styles with it for a boho approach. However, you could also let the jacket be the longest piece, leave it unzipped, and tuck a shirt in. In this way, the waist is emphasized even more and for most women is the most flattering. Even if you have a waistline you don't think is appealing, consider cutting this area in half with a belt or high-waisted skirt to minimize and bring the eye to one focal point rather than what you may insecure about. Try things on. See what works and what doesn't. And hey, maybe you just need a little DIY to make it work.
As the days get busier, I hope you've found inspiration in a few of these carefree style ideas! I'm off to plan my grandma's birthday party, run errands, and decorate the venue - with this jacket in tow. Have a happy Friday everyone!

Cheryl Cole's
dance routines.
Disclaimer: I hate dancing and everything about it. But her routines strike me as particularly shit. What the hell's she doing in her new video? Simulating a struggle with a straight jacket?
Her faux-marching shit on her last single wasn't any better.
I assume that hooded fool from the X factor put her up to this?
I thought that was...... GENIUS!

I like it a lot
The finger point is a classic move
I dance EXACTLY like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9xThNyPWdc
It's awful.
When I first watched that I thought that was 'good' dancing.
I secretly still think it's better than the awful, awful cunt in the second half of that video.
She is an awful, awful cunt.
Bit strong?
No, no I'm sticking with it.
This thread should have been titled
PEOPLE WHO: are Cheryl Cole.
Her dance routines are utterly cringe worthy!
My girlfriend gets told she looks like Cheryl Cole quite alot... which is good because Cheryl Cole is obvz hott. But unlike Cheryl Cole my girlfriend isn't a vacuous cunt performing terrible, terrible dance routines.
Hey, Darcy,
I'm getting a rescheduled hair appointment with the good hairdresser.

With you on dancing
I just don't get it, anyone dancing ever just looks ridiculous to me. MJ, Chezza Cole, Britney all of them.thewarn and deadonthestairs this'd this
Fair enough: nod your head a bit when you're listening to music, but don't spazz all over the stage like an electrified chicken
I can understand reactive dancing to an extent although i'm way too introverted for it myself
But choreographed routines all seem insane to me especially some of the more jerky versions that seem so popular with the kids these daysthewarn this'd this
Although as a side-subject
New red hair version of Cheryl Cole is one of mankind's finest achievements.
"anyone dancing ever"
whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's rein it back in a bit here. Any dance routine involving MJ is/was nothing but mind blowingly awesome.
Usher is pretty awesome as is Timberlake (admittedly both Jacko rip offs).
I do agree though that most pop dance routines are lame - include Beyonce and Gaga in there as well please.
^ this (minus timberlake and usher)
watch some footage of james brown.
I just don't get it i'm afraid
I genuinely wish I did but MJ in particular has always just freaked me out with all the crotch grabbing and jerking about. It looks so weird especially when it's incorporated into some sort of narrative driven video just bizarre.
Man, I genuinely feel bad for you.
^ I don;t mean that to sound as patronising as it does. But I get butterflies watching MJ dance. It's fucking incredible.
I wanted to be able to dance like that so badly as a kid.
Inability to enjoy MJ is one of the things I feel i'm missing out on most in life
I mean that many people cannot possibly be wrong can they? Obviously not.
Is this dancing in general?
Or specifically singers?
Please say singers. I spent many years dancing and would be sad if you said dancing in general. I can't sing, if that helps.
More so with singers I guess
I don't get it in any guise really though. I'm very aware that this makes me the weirdo in the equation however.

Where's the 'Cheryl Cole's dance routines' bump of that thread? If something's worth doing...
threadfixes, Jay-Z cross-bumping...
is there anything mundane-board-centric c_c_b won't turn his hand to?
The secret shame of my dancing is that
I'm so shit that I tend to look around me at what othjer people are doing, think "hey, that looks good" and then absorb it immediately into my current routine. Absolutely shameless magpie-ing.
I saw some guy doing a rock & roll pivot with the toe end of his shoe once and even incorporated that, which obviously drew a lot of questions about why I'd suddenly started doing something which clearly had no business being in amongst the meat and potatoes fare of my normal repertoire, so you do have to be careful.
The dancing in her newest single is THE BEST THING EVER
and I normally don't give a shit about dancing.
The whole big mob of synchronised dancers
schtick is shit.
It's so Billie Piper.

UNMC Faculty Women's Club Noon Luncheon Meeting Programs 2016 – 2017
I'm writing to let you know about our upcoming FWC luncheon on Sept. 21st. We are kicking the year off in our traditional style with the introduction of our scholarship awardees as well as having a presentation by Susanne Rogert from the NE Foundation about "The Nebraska Foundation and FWC Scholarships". She will explain how the scholarship monies make it from our checkbooks to those students we honor every year!!
This year, because we have shifted to the 3rd Wednesday of the month for our luncheon meetings, we have also moved our room location. We will be dining in Private Dining Room "C". Please make note of these changes!! Our terrific Luncheon Committee has planned an amazing menu for us and we don't want you to miss it 🙂
Also be aware that parking has become even more of an issue at UNMC. If you can car pool, plan to do so. Valet parking is an option but can mean a delay in retrieving your vehicle. If neither of these options are appealing, plan to arrive a few minutes early for the inevitable UNMC parking garage circling that you may have to do!!
All that said….we have just celebrated our 96th year as Faculty Women's Club. A couple of modifications and parking challenges can't stop us! This September luncheon is when we honor ourselves and our students for doing what we do best. We hope you can join us.
Please have your reservation in to me NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, SEPT. 15!
Peggy Shaffer
Communications Chair
All luncheons start at 12 noon and are held at one of the 3 UNMC private dining rooms
Please take notice that our luncheon Wednesdays are now the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
Programs for UNMC Faculty Women's Club Luncheons

Hydro-electric power (or hydroelectricity) refers to the process of generating electricity from flowing water. As water flows downstream, it spins a turbine that generates electricity. It is considered a renewable resource because the water cycle ensures that water will constantly flow through an ecosystem. Hydropower is one of the largest sources of renewable energy in the USA, at 6.5% of electricity production.
In Texas, however, hydroelectricity does not even reach the 1% mark.
Although hydropower is an extremely low-cost and reliable option (as opposed to intermittent source of energy like solar and wind), it often requires a favorable geographic location to be installed. For one, fast-moving water sources (mostly rivers) are necessary, something that is not always as freely available in Texas as in other states. Three main types of hydroelectric power plants are used in the US:
- Impoundment Facilities use a dam to create a large body of water. As the water flows downstream, it turns a turbine, which generates electricity.
- Pumped Storage Facilities are similar to impoundment facilities, in that they use a dam to store water at a higher elevation. Pumped storage plants also have a second body of water below the dam. Water can be pumped from the dam below to the one above it, storing energy for later use.
- Run-of-the-river Facilities rely on natural water flow to spin a turbine and generate electricity. These may use dams.
Hydroelectric facilities can also be classified by their sizes, which you can read more about here.
While hydro-electricity is cheap and clean, the dams themselves can create unintentional ecological consequences, particularly in the local area. Dam failures can also result in flooding the downstream areas. As such, dams generally must assess how construction will impact nearby towns and wildlife.

New toasters

Currently have a kenmore toaster bought in 2008 that has been pretty good. But now turns on when plugged in-does not stop when lever up and buttons don't respond. I've been seeing these auto lower/lift toasters and they seem really cool. Are they any good?
May just get a cheapo, had a few and seemed to last. Only replaced as they got grungy.

Aside from vintage I like the plain white basic Cuisinart toaster I have. Makes nice and evenly browned toast, even bagels. Not sure if the newer version of it is still any good though, I bought mine in 2010. My grandmother had one from approx. 2002 that worked just as well as mine.

I agree with Eddie about the Sunbeam Radiant Control toasters that automatically lower and raise the bread. I've never owned a toaster that rendered more perfect results, first time, every time.
A couple of things to consider about these Sunbeams is that they are best when given plain white bread to toast, and things like bagels may be too thick to fit.
Prices can be all over the map. I got one of mine at an estate sale many years ago, and more recently picked one up at at thrift store. One is a T-30 model (pictured) and the other a later type with sliding lever mounted on the front to adjust shading. I paid less than $10 for each one.
I'm not sure if Sunbeam still produces these. If so, they are likely made in China and quality may not be what it was 20 or more years ago.

I love my vintage GE Toast-R-Oven, great size and great results every time.
I was given a "non-working" less than one year old KitchenAid 4 slice toaster a while back by a friend. I pulled out 1/4 of a bagel stuck in the mechanism and function was instantly restored. That was a very impressive toaster and after playing with it a few times here, I sent it to Jon to use at his Cape Cod house where the toaster gets regular use and abuse by tenants during the rental season. He'll have to finish up the review from there, but I know several others that have KA toasters and love them. The best part of the KA was the high wattage making it powerful and faster than other 4 slice models. I have also heard good things about the Cuisinart toasters as well.

I've no idea how many toasters I have, maybe a couple of dozen in the collection. Some are duds and some winners. However thee best hands down which we use daily is the Panasonic FlashXpress toaster oven. It's very simple to use, fairly fast, instant heat because it's infra red heating elements. And best of all it's not very big but holds 4 slices.. doesn't really take up much more room than a regular toaster. It'll cook a tray of frozen fries from frozen in about 12 minutes. I bought it for my mom (a true non gadget freak) about 6 or so years ago...I took it when she moved and have had not probems with it.. She really liked it as well and that's saying something coming from her.

I agree the Sunbeam is the coolest toaster ever, but the older the better as the one with the sliding lever can wear out and can't be fixed. the one with the dial at the end is made before "planned obsolescence" and will last probably 100 years, or another 20 years or so.

I just want a Toasting Level knob that doesn't easily turn... Real, solid turning... And staying at one Heating Level...
Sometimes wish I had a four-slicer & I even entertain a toaster OVEN--which I'd returned upon receiving & prior to opening our wedding set--thinking it would take up too much counter-space and that I could use the conventional oven for "toaster oven toasting"... So, then, stuck w/ our two-slice pop-up & happy to have extra room on my even-smaller kitchen counter, compared to the earlier one in our apartment which was a bit more spacious...

I have my grandmother's 1930's Toastmaster and it still works like a charm. It has some sort of timer in it and according to how dark you want the toast the timer works longer. It has a "tick, tick, tick" sound to it and the toast flies up when done. Gary

Hi Cole - Just do it - get one of the self-lowering if you can find a good price. Like rp2813(Ralph)said, prices vary. I have a couple Sunbeam self-lowering. The results with toast(white or wheat)has been perfect. A neighbor, in the 1960's, had a cool four-slice self-lowering toaster. I wish I could find one of those. Anyone have one of these? Who made them?
Hope you find a toaster you like, but self-lowering Sunbeams are usually rock-solid. Here's a couple of links some will know about, that I like for Sunbeam toasters:

Just thought I would share the 4 slice toasters I have currently in my kitchen, that "new" proctor is likely to become the daily driver though the Mary Proctor is currently the one, that Toastmaster is probably the best of the bunch. SO if you come across one you might pick it up as you can never know when company might come by and it will come in handy. Thanks for looking. Brian

I'm a little embarassed to admitt this..but in 1999 when I divorced and my son and I moved out on our own the last thing I thought I needed was a toaster. It seemed like every day my son was either wanting toast or a poptart. Money was very tight so on payday I went to K-Mart and bought a 2 slice Westinghouse toaster...for the huge sum of 10.00!! That was 16 years ago and the thing is still going strong!

I have a Proctor Silex 4 slice machine that I bought from a yard sale-its OLD-but works perfectly-best toaster I have.My Mom used to have a Sunbeam one-keep prying the yard sales for one-no luck.Guess these are so good that folks keep those.

KA makes a two or four slice toaster with auto bread lowering and raising.
I have the four slice version, albeit with manual action. It's OK, although I rarely use more than two slots, and I've noticed the spring for the side that gets the most use is a bit anemic... failing to raise the finished bread (usually burger buns) to full height. I have thought of replacing the spring with a more powerful version, but then I had to return the first unit to Costco because the darn toast lever wouldn't engage when pressed down.
I also have one of the ill-fated "Arize" glass wall toasters. These are fun to watch but only work with standard bread slices - burger buns would be right out.
Have looked at the Panasonic flash toaster ovens but the Cuisinart toaster oven works so well with everything but bread I have hesitated to get yet another kitchen gadget.

I love my old General Mills toaster from the late 40's.It toast in two stages, you put the toast in, about 2 minutes after it starts, it clicks and goes to a higher temp. Makes the best toast in the world, aside from toaster oven.
Found mine at a thrift store in Alpine, Tx. The cord was completely shot and replaced with the correct cord.
looks like this

I suspect the problem with four slice toasters is that there are only so many amps available with with a 120 volt single phase outlet. Two slice toasters can deliver more heat to the process. A four slice toaster may have to reduce heat for each slice in order not to trip the typical 15 am residential circuit breaker when all four slots are active.
However I have not undertaken to investigate and record the amp/wattage ratings for two slice vs four slice toasters. Perhaps someone can do this?

Funny you mentioned White Westinghouse. The toaster I had before the Kenmore was a White Westinghouse from Kmart as well, paid $4 for it and it still worked when I replaced it!
Well, we shall see, still have not replaced the toaster yet. It's replacement will probably have to be something new. Bought a new Kenmore and took it back. Box made it look white, but it was stainless steel and likely hard to keep clean. Plus, it felt even cheaper than the one I had before, there were no cool LEDs that light up around the knob to show the levels, and no reheat button like mine from 2008 had.

Avoid "Kambrook" toasters, as sold here in Australia.
We had to replace a completely worn Tiffany unit (<- awesome when they work) and this was the SECOND toaster after the supermarket model died within days. While it has held up, it has to be the slowest, most useless toaster that ever existed.
To get "TOAST," i.e., bread coloured medium-brown, and evenly done, you need to dial maximum on the dial, then select "DEFROST" for even more toasting time! Its quite pathetic. By then, the bread has lost most of its moisture and just isn't quite as nice anymore.
Suffice to say, I think the recommendation for vintage is the way to go.

Well update and no surprise really. Wound up getting a Proctor Silex black/chrome, not my purchase. It is terrible quality. Much lighter weight than even the 8 year old Kenmore it replaced. It does not toast well, my Toaster Scrambles either come out still cold or burned. It looks decent, but no performance.
I noticed on several new toaster the manuals state not to use with pastries.

You are in a frustrating situation. You may be scared about your financial future and you are certainly irritated by the IRS agent or revenue officer who keeps contacting you. It can be easy to be rude, short, or mean to the IRS agent or revenue officer. However, our Tulsa tax lawyers encourage you to watch what you say—and how you say it.
Fighting with an IRS Agent or Revenue Officer Will Get You Nowhere
If you are disrespectful, argumentative, or otherwise inappropriate with an IRS agent or revenue officer, then you are not doing yourself any favors. You are not standing up for yourself, nor are you making any progress in solving your outstanding tax problems. Instead, you may be doing just the opposite and making the IRS less likely to want to settle with you. Accordingly, it is important to keep your cool and to watch what you say and how you say it to any IRS official.
Better Yet, Don't Talk Directly with an IRS Official
Instead, let a Tulsa tax attorney talk for you. You can communicate open and honestly with an Oklahoma tax lawyer because your lawyer is working for you. It is your lawyer's job to zealously advocate for a fair tax settlement on your behalf and you can help that happen by being honest with your attorney. Then, you can let your attorney talk to the IRS on your behalf so that you don't have to watch what you say or worry about making things worse.
For more information about how an Oklahoma tax attorney may help you, please call our experienced lawyers today at 800.721.7054 and please read our FREE book, The Ultimate Survival Guide for IRS Problems.

S (Scripture) – 1 John 5:20-21 "And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols." NASB
"And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life. Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts." NLT
O (Observation) – We have been given this most glorious truth – that Jesus came to redeem us, restore us, complete us, and bring us into a relationship with Almighty God. No matter what our pasts look like, how insignificant we thought we were, Jesus proclaims that we are precious in God's sight, and that He has a plan for our lives. His strength is made perfect in weakness, and He will use us in a mighty way for His kingdom if we would only yield to Him. What in the world could possibly be more important than what the God of the universe has for us?
A (Application) – It is easy to say with our lips that God's kingdom is what dominates our minds, thoughts, and actions. However, the demands of this life and passions of the flesh can ever so easily become idols that usurp the throne of our lives that rightfully belong to God. We need to consistently and consciously take ourselves off of the throne of our lives and relinquish control to the Holy Spirit. He is the One we should be in step with each day, taking His lead, and walking in His power. Apart from the Holy Spirit, we are humans following after our own desires.
P (Prayer) – Almighty God, thank You for free gift of eternal life. It may be free for us, but it cost you everything. Jesus said that he who follows as His disciple must take up his cross daily and follow Him. May we take ourselves off of the throne of our lives and instead have only You. I give You control, Lord. Lead me, teach me, guide me, protect me…all this and so much more do You promise those who trust in You.

May 2012 is another exciting month for femet releases in the UK. Here are four I have come across so far:
Dawn of Destiny - Praying To The World
Vocals - Jeanette Scherff
Jeanette joined Dawn of Destiny in 2010, replacing founding member Tanja Maul on vocals. Dawn of Destiny are a German power metal band and were formed in 2005. Praying To The World is their fourth studio album release and the first to feature Jeanette on vocals.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata
Vocals - Annlouice Loegdlund
Diablo Swing Orchestra are a Swedish Avant-Garde metal band who were formed in 2003 and who come complete with a tongue in cheek back story. Pandora's Pinata is their third album release and the first single from that album, Voodoo Mon Amour was released earlier in 2012. This is of the same kind of awesomeness as Van Canto. An utterly brilliant twist on traditional metal music and a really exciting find.
The Murder of My Sweet - Bye Bye Lullaby
Vocals - Angelica Rylin
The Murder of My Sweet are a Swedish symphonic metal band formed in 2006. Bye Bye Lullaby is their third album. Follow The Rain is taken from their 2010 album Divanity and has made me really keen to hear their new material which they claim to have taken down a darker path.
So there is May - have you heard about or are you looking forward to any other femet releases in May? Get in touch and let me know so I can check them out! I am personally looking forward to the releases expected in June 2012 - Delain's release date was finally announced for June along with The Agonists new album!! Awesome.

That was the first thought I had the morning I awoke and decided to get sober. I was miserable, tired, depressed and suicidal. I was tired of living the way I was. My first day of sobriety I spent my entire day thinking "Fuck, how did I get to this point in my life".
Luckily, I made it through day one without a drink. For the next two weeks my most thought-of word was "fuck". The first two weeks of sobriety are definitely the toughest. No one decides to get sober after a great night of drinking. They usually decide when they are at their lowest point mentally. This is one of the reasons I find becoming sober to be so tough. In your first two weeks of sobriety your body feels like shit, your sleeping patterns turn to shit, your anxiety is at an all time high and your mental health has turned to complete shit- usually including hating yourself and the person you have become. It is all very taxing on you, your mental health and your body. There are very few words that can encompass the way you are feeling those first few weeks as well as the word "fuck". In support groups you are not encouraged to use foul and strong language but in my opinion there are times you just need to scream "fuck"- either mentally or verbally. One of those times is early sobriety.
Now, the only time I think of the word "fuck" in regards to sobriety is when I hear things such as "Dale is on his 8th day of sobriety". Always my initial thought is "Fuck". Because those first few weeks are the toughest. Hearing that someone is at that point in their sobriety takes me back to my time at that point. I don't wish to trade places with that person nor will I ever do so. The real hero in sobriety is the person who has fifteen days- not the person who has fifteen years. The toughest time in quitting drinking (or any substance) is the beginning. Each day gets progressively easier. The person fighting the hardest battle is the one just starting out. But it is that battle- that fight in you- that builds the foundation for a successful sober lifestyle. It is also that battle that brings you closer to other sober people. You have gone through something that very few on the outside can truly understand. You have climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro within yourself.
Once you get past the toughest phases, hopefully, the only time you will need that word is when that little voice inside your head says "let's have a drink". You can calmly reply "Fuck that".

Terry Rich has been busy working on both public and scholarly communication related to his doctoral work, including the total overall and update of the Partners in Fight website (https://www.partnersinflight.org), which was just opened yesterday. He wrote a good bit of new content for the "What We Do" tab, and other material of his from past years has been carried forward, especially under "Resources."
He is also presenting at the Great Basin Bird Observatory Conference in May (www.gbbo.org/birdconference). See the abstract below:
The "shifting baseline syndrome" is one of the most pernicious problems in long-term conservation because each succeeding generation of conservationists expects less. Data are available to make population estimates for 46 species of birds in the Great Basin before European settlement (ca 1800). Estimates are derived from, 1) the current size of the total breeding range of the species as modeled from Southwest ReGAP, 2) the proportion of the current species population that occurs in the Great Basin as estimated by Partners in Flight, and 3) both the minimum and maximum breeding densities of the species reported in the literature. Although the breeding density estimates provide for variation in the population size estimates, all the latter are almost certainly overestimated because not all habitat from any source of estimation for a given species is suitable for it. Nonetheless, these estimates provide a starting point for setting the "true" baseline for judging conservation goals, gains, and losses in the present day. One can then calculate long-term population trends (1800-1966) and compare these to more recent trends from the Breeding Bird Survey (1966-2014). A comparison of these trajectories by species might be useful in prioritizing species for future conservation.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – With a career spanning more than 30 years in fresh produce, former Californian and now New Zealander Lisa Cork of Fresh Produce Marketing, Ltd. accepted a nomination to join this year's Produce Marketing Association (PMA) Board of Directors. Most recently a member of both the PMA's Global Development Committee and Demand Creation Strategic PlanningTask Force, her global experience, ability to think strategically and ask questions that challenge the status quo resulted in the opportunity to make a larger impact on the Board, which is exactly what she intends to do.
An industry thought leader and innovator, Cork provides significant value and insight to brands looking for fresh, strategic and consumer-centric ideas that sell. One of her most noteworthy contributions to the industry was during her tenure at Apio Inc when she created the Eat Smart brand – a forward thinking concept that continues to live up to its potential 25 years later.
"I'm highly motivated by the opportunity to increase fresh produce demand by offering unique ideas and strategic direction to brands and plan to continue to do so while supporting PMA in this new role," said Lisa Cork, president and CEO of Fresh Produce Marketing, Ltd. "I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors and excited to explore new ideas that contribute to our industry and make the biggest impact possible."
In 2013, Cork won PMA Australia-New Zealand/Produce Plus Produce Marketer of the Year award for her work with Delta Produce Growers and their fresh sweet potatoes (called Kumara in New Zealand). After a survey showed consumers would pay more for sweet potatoes that were smaller and smoother, she created Love Kumara! Easy Peels and Love Kumara! Little Gourmets branded packs – leading to grower returns increasing over 200 percent.
Additionally, she led the branding of Winter Sweetz grapefruit by Lone Star Citrus and Naturalls grapes by Borderland Organics. Her dedication to learning what consumers want and expect from their produce led to the revitalization of the grapefruit category with Winter Sweetz – creating a brand that addressed the concern grapefruit was "sour and hard to eat." Her work with Naturalls grapes allowed the company to take advantage of the new "free-from" trend, moving their grapes out of the small organics section and into the conventional grapes display area, giving consumers more choice and Naturalls more sales opportunities.
"Lisa is an insightful produce professional, and her many years of experience assisting produce companies around the world to develop impactful strategies and build unique brands will help in bringing PMA's new strategic plan to life," said Richard Owen, vice president of global business development with PMA. "One of PMA's new focus areas is demand creation and this is also a passion and focus area for Lisa's work. We look forward to tapping into her thought leadership and unique expertise for the benefit of the industry."
Cork continues to offer strategic consultation and workshops to fresh produce companies looking to innovate and think differently through Fresh Produce Marketing, Ltd. To contact Lisa Cork, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

How can I have a split taskbar
Is it possible to have multiple groups of icons within the taskbar?
I have tried making shortcuts with toolbars but they lose all the pinned shortcut functionality (jump lists etc) and use different sized none centered icons (I usually use the vertical orientation of the taskbar)
I have attached a mock up of what I mean, 1 group of icons that start from left and another from right.
The idea would be for new open windows would add to the left group filling towards the middle/down (as is the usual case) unless placed manually within the right/bottom group (which would be stuck to the taskbar)

Yes, I'd like to 'pin' to the taskbar but not in the usual up/left location but on the bottom/right location next to the system tray. I basically want to replace the small & ugly system tray icons with the more functional taskbar icons (with jump lists & tasks) but to be kept separately from the active windows.
