text: I have searched but was unable to find previous posts on this. I want to create a script that will start mysql. Currently, I have to open the terminal, navigate to the directory, use sudo to get admin rights, and then run the command to start it. I know this is probably very simple but I would also like to create other types of scripts. Where can I find information/tutorials on creating scripts? Thanks in advance.

Although I really try to avoid wearing too much black, sometimes I just feel like doing it. And when I do, I really try to insert something playful and cheering – like this beautiful embroidered bag from Fricaine.
Black is one of the most loved colors. It's mysterious, it's classy, it poetic, and it's easy. But it can also bore you sometimes. One thing I believe about wearing black is that it needs some "spices". This color is beautiful but it's best used to accentuate on something else. This is exactly what I've done for this outfit. I've used black to accentuate on the beautiful embroidered handbag and make a fun statement. Some of you may recall how excited I was upon receiving it last week. But how can I not be? This Fricaine bag is full of playfulness and is so refreshing. The exotic fabric makes it stand out from all the handbags I've ever had, and it is of such a good quality!
However, if you'd like to invest in a bag that makes a difference, a bag that is fun and refreshing, then I have a little bonus for you. Exclusively, use the discount code FRICAINE30 and get 30% off your next purchase on fricaine.com. :)
For this look I'm wearing:
ZARA blazer ♦ ZARA pleated blouse ♦ High Waist Denim Pants (similar here) ♦ FRICAINE embroidered handbag ♦ New Look suede boots ♦ Vintage necklace (similar style here) ♦ New Look massive ring (alternative here) ♦
What piece did you first notice about this look?
Denina ♥

The first teaser trailer has dropped for the highly-anticipated Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
The sequel to the 1982 neo-noir science fiction film, Blade Runner, is Directed by BAFTA Award nominated Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies, Sicario, Arrival) and Produced by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien, The Martian).
Set thirty years after the events of the first film, Blade Runner 2049 follows new blade runner LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling) who uncovers a secret that has the potential to plunge society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a search to find former LAPD blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who has been missing for thirty years.
In a response to the age-old question 'is Rick Deckard a human or replicant?' Director Denis Villeneuve hinted that the secret would be 'taken care of' in the sequel film.
"The thing I must say is that I love mystery. I love shadows. I love doubts. I would just want to say to the fans that we will take care of that mystery. I will take care of it," said Villeneuve.
While the short 1:45 min trailer only gives fans a bite-sized glimpse into what to expect from the upcoming film, many have taken to social media to express their excitement for the film.

180g Heavyweight Vinyl LP (Limited to 500).... I Blame Society is the third album from New York trio The Ballet and their first for new label Fortuna POP! Unashamedly sissy and explicitly queer, The Ballet marry the DIY queer ethos of the Hidden Cameras with the wry poeticism of The Magnetic Fields to create literate, infectious pop gems. The band will be playing the Indietracks Festival 26-28 July, followed by a UK tour culminating with a London show at The Lexington on 1 August. I Blame Society is a continuation of the lyrical themes and songwriting style found in the band s two previous self-released albums (Mattachine! [2006] and Bear Life! [2009]), though with slightly pared down arrangements and a nuanced production, which highlights songwriter Greg Goldberg s strengths. Inspired by Stephin Merritt s body of work, Goldberg draws from an array of pop artists and periods, from 60 s bubblegum to 80 s synthpop and 90 s indiepop, fusing these in sophisticated and novel ways which rewards repeat listening. Avoiding autobiographical or confessional modes, Goldberg nonetheless mines his own psychological constitution and intellectual interests to craft songs whose overt musical prettiness is often contrasted by a dark and complex subtext. I Blame Society addresses a number of queer themes, offering a nuanced and refreshing perspective on contemporary queer issues, subtly balancing queer melancholy with self-deprecating humour and stubborn utopianism. While some queer musicians shy away from articulating a connection between their sexuality and musicianship, The Ballet have often contended the opposite: that they are a bunch of queers who just happen to be in a band. Formed in 2005 by Greg Goldberg and Craig Willse (who are both professors and met whilst at graduate school) with Marina Miranda (who they met at a party), The Ballet are still going strong after eight years of pop magic, retaining their original line-up. That s not to say they haven t gone through some line-up changes over the years. Acquired bandmates Ginger Brooks Takahashi and Michael O'Neill left in 2007 to join JD Sampson in MEN. Indiepop luminaries such as Linton from The Aislers Set and Ramesh from Voxtrot have also made guest appearances on previous albums, as have Kaki King and Scott Matthew. // "Recalling Holiday-era Magnetic Fields, these songs bop with heady buoyancy, yet are underpinned by complicated but universal themes: self-deception, infidelity without shame, war fatigue and finding love in a world of online hookups."

I don't mind admitting that I've always had this view of Newt Gingrich as the voice crying in the wilderness, rather like John the Baptist. Yes, I am well aware that it is not an encouraging analogy, but right now, with the piece of crap put out by one of the VIP Southern Baptists, I feel the analogy may not be bad. If people like Richard Land has his way, they'd remove Newt's head.
You want Reason #101 why The Pink Flamingo is no longer a Southern Baptist? Try this absolutely vile piece of s*i* written by one very important Southern Baptist. So much for the concept of Christian forgiveness!
I believe the Lord's Prayer says we are to forgive as we wish to be forgiven. This is one Christian woman who comprehends the concept of Christian kindness and forgiveness. Newt has not sinned against me. He has absolutely no reason to ask my forgiveness. If you haven't sinned against someone why do you need to humble yourself and beg forgiveness. That is a crock put together by an unimportant little man who wants to be relevant. Perhaps Dr. Land needs to look brush up on the Beatitudes. He might also try a little humility. This is disgusting, pathetic, and almost laughable. When a man says that he has asked forgiveness from Christ, I don't think he needs to ask forgiveness from people like Dr. Land.
This is one of the most repulsive commentaries I've seen in ages, and I read political commentaries every day. I might suggest Dr. Land read John 8:7.
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, 'Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'
There is an alleged "Christian" group trying to force Newt out of the Iowa primary because he not Christian enough?
"…"We have serious concerns that your endorsement may be guided, not by prayer and conviction, but by personal benefit and prior relationships. Of which, would seem to lead you toward Newt Gingrich and, needless to say, he is not an acceptable choice among Christians," the group wrote in the letter, which then detailed infidelities that Gingrich committed as well as those from Vander Plaats's 2006 gubernatorial running mate, former Rep. Jim Nussle (R-Iowa).
"Mr. Vander Plaats, all of our concerns derive from a larger one that your endorsement may be for sale, either for money or for status," the group wrote. "Please don't sell Iowa's values to the highest bidder. These 30 pieces of silver are simply not worth the weight your conscience will bear as you consider misleading thousands of Christian voters in Iowa into believing Mr. Gingrich represents their values."…"
The pandering know it all morons, "Christian" Conservatives in Iowa are questioning Newt's stance on abortion. I know you can question him on some things, but on abortion? On what planet have these people been living? Rick Santorum dosen't approve of Newt because he thinks a woman who has been raped has a right to an abortion.
They are now saying he was an idea man who wasn't good at follow-up while Speaker of the House. One of the loyal Republican members of the House, who said Newt didn't do much while Speaker is backing Romney. Is this how they are going to try to destroy him? It is amazing how they are trying to accuse him of being a Rockefeller Republican!
"…Gingrich loves to spout ideas—too many for his own good, even his allies admit—and other positions might hurt him more than the immigration imbroglio. His plan for a Chilean-style Social Security privatization could scare older voters who want no part of an unpredictable stock market. Then there is his demand to abolish child-labor laws, which he called "truly stupid."…"
So far, the usual extreme right suspects are against Newt. He has too many ideas. I am just plain sick and tired of Mark Steyn. The man is the most negative creature there is.
"….Filling in for Rush Limbaugh on his radio show Tuesday, Steyn referenced a Pundit & Pundette blog post that suggested Gingrich sounds smarter on the debate stage because he uses so many adverbs.
"You watch him in the debates," Steyn said. "It's all 'profoundly, dramatically deeply compelling. All the action is in the adverbs. One of my problems again with Newt is like he's bursting with ideas that sound all as if they are coming from a self-help manual. If you remember back in his hay day, he had something called 'The Triangle of American Progress.' And that evolved into the "Four Pillars of American Civilization,' which in turn expanded into the 'Five Pillars of the Twenty-First Century.'…"
Byron York is against Newt.
"…And that's before social conservatives deal with what might be called Gingrich's old baggage and his new baggage. The old baggage includes Gingrich's marriage history and the sometimes rocky relations he had with fellow Republicans in the 1990s. The new baggage includes Gingrich's work for Freddie Mac, his unofficial lobbying on behalf of the prescription drug entitlement, and other activities that qualify him as a quintessential Washington insider. Some conservatives still can't reconcile themselves to the old baggage, but even those who have are struggling to come to grips with the new.
Many outsiders have assumed that Gingrich's latest controversy, his statement at a recent debate that he would allow some long-time illegal immigrants to live permanently in the United States, would kill his chances forever with Iowa conservatives. That might not be the case. "Gingrich is right that people are not interested in tearing families apart," says Bob vander Plaats, head of the social conservative group Family Leader. "Our organization is saying, how do we prevent amnesty, how do we secure the border, but how do we have a process that is doable and honorable to everybody involved?" What that suggests is that if Gingrich fades, it will be the result of the totality of his candidacy, and not his specific stand on immigration…."
It's like this. I would love to see some of these anti-abortion extremists – who are usually man – be forced to deal with a young woman who is 2000 miles away and suicidal because she has been raped. These so called "Christians" in Iowa make me absolutely embarrassed to have them be part of the same faith I am. What kind of a heartless monster would deny a 20 year old woman who was raped the right to have an abortion? I do, truly hope these people are forced to deal with this problem some time in their lives and see what they would do.
I know that is a nasty thing to say, but right now, The Pink Flamingo is a little out of sorts with so-called religious "conservatives. If you want to know why, just keep reading. I'm working on a major post for the weekend.
I suspect Dr Long ought to familiarize himself with St.Augustine's Homily on St. John. St. Augustine of Hippo, who knew a heck of a lot about adultery and fornication, is the voice of compassion.
"…O answer of Wisdom! How He sent them unto themselves! For without they stood to accuse and censure, themselves they examined not inwardly: they saw the adulteress, they looked not into themselves. Transgressors of the law, they wished the law to be fulfilled, and this by heedlessly accusing; not really fulfilling it, as if condemning adulteries by chastity.
You have heard, O Jews, you have heard, O Pharisees, you have heard, O teachers of the law, the guardian of the law, but have not yet understood Him as the Lawgiver. What else does He signify to you when He writes with His finger on the ground? (Jn 8:6b) For the law was written with the finger of God; but written on stone because of the hard-hearted.
The Lord now wrote on the ground, (Jn 8:8) because He was seeking fruit.
You have heard then, 'Let the law be fulfilled, let the adulteress be stoned.' But is it by punishing her that the law is to be fulfilled by those that ought to be punished? Let each of you consider himself, let him enter into himself, ascend the judgment-seat of his own mind, place himself at the bar of his own conscience, (Jn 8:9a) oblige himself to confess. For he knows what he is: for
"no man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of man which is in him."
Each looking carefully into himself, finds himself a sinner. Yes, indeed. Hence, either let this woman go, or together with her receive ye the penalty of the law. Had He said, Let not the adulteress be stoned, He would be proved unjust: had He said, Let her be stoned, He would not appear gentle: let Him say what it became Him to say, both the gentle and the just.
This is the voice of Justice: Let her, the sinner, be punished, but not by sinners: let the law be fulfilled, but not by the transgressors of the law. This certainly is the voice of justice: by which justice, those men pierced through as if by a dart, looking into themselves and finding themselves guilty, "one after another all withdrew." (Jn 8:9a)
The two were left alone, the wretched woman and Mercy. But the Lord, having struck them through with that dart of justice, deigned not to heed their fall, but, turning away His look from them.
We have heard the voice of justice, let us also hear the voice of clemency. For I suppose that woman was the more terrified when she had heard it said by the Lord, "He that is without sin of you, let him first cast a stone at her." (Jn 8:7b) But they, turning their thought to themselves, and by that very withdrawal having confessed concerning themselves, had left the woman with her great sin to Him who was without sin.
And because she had heard this, "He that is without sin. let him first cast a stone at her," (Jn 8:7b) she expected to be punished by Him in whom sin could not be found. But He, who had driven back her adversaries with the tongue of justice,
…by whom, perhaps, thou didst fear to be condemned, because in me thou hast not found sin. "Neither will I condemn thee."
What is this, O Lord? Dost Thou therefore favor sins? Not so, evidently. Mark what follows: "Go; henceforth, sin no more."
Therefore the Lord did also condemn, but He condemned sins, not man.
For if He were a patron of sin, He would say,
"Neither will I condemn thee; go, live as thou wilt: be secure in my deliverance; how much soever thou wilt sin, I will deliver thee from all punishment even of hell, and from the tormentors of the infernal world."
… The Lord is gentle, the Lord is long-suffering, the Lord is pitiful; but the Lord is also just, the Lord is also true. He bestows on thee space for correction; but thou lovest the delay of judgment more than the amendment of thy ways. Hast thou been a bad man yesterday? Today be a good man. Hast thou gone on in thy wickedness today? At any rate change tomorrow. Thou art always expecting, and from the mercy of God makest exceeding great promises to thyself.
As if He, who has promised thee pardon through repentance, promised thee also a longer life. How knowest thou what to-morrow may bring forth? Rightly thou sayest in thy heart: When I shall have corrected my ways, God will put all my sins away. We cannot deny that God has promised pardon to those that have amended their ways and are converted. For in what prophet thou readest to me that God has promised pardon to him that amends, thou dost not read to me that God has promised thee a long life.
From both, then, men are in danger; both from hoping and despairing, from contrary things, from contrary affections. Who is deceived by hoping? He who says, God is good, God is merciful, let me do what I please, what I like; let me give loose reins to my lusts, let me gratify the desires of my soul. Why this? Because God is merciful, God is good, God is kind. These men are in danger by hope.
And those are in danger from despair, who, having fallen into grievous sins, fancying that they can no more be pardoned upon repentance, and believing that they are without doubt doomed to damnation, do say with themselves, We are already destined to be damned, why not do what we please with the disposition of gladiators destined to the sword. This is the reason that desperate men are dangerous: for, having no longer aught to fear, they are to be feared exceedingly.
Despair kills these; hope, those. The mind is tossed to and fro between hope and despair. Thou hast to fear lest hope slay thee; and, when thou hopest much from mercy, lest thou fall into judgment: again, thou hast to fear lest despair slay thee, and, when thou thinkest that the grievous sins which thou hast committed cannot be forgiven thee, thou dost not repent, and thou incurrest the sentence of Wisdom, which says,
"I also will laugh at your perdition." [Prov. i. 26.]
How then does the Lord treat those who are in danger from both these maladies? To those who are in danger from hope, He says,"Be not slow to be converted to the Lord, neither put it off from day to day; for suddenly His anger will come, and in the time of vengeance, will utterly destroy thee." [Ecclus. v. 8, 9.] To those who are in danger from despair, what does He say? "In whatsoever day the wicked man shall repent, I will forget all his iniquities." [Ezek. xviii. 21]
Accordingly, for the sake of those who are in danger by despair, He has offered us a refuge of pardon; and because of those who are in danger by hope, and are deluded by delays, He has made the day of death uncertain. Thou knowest not when thy last day may come. Art thou ungrateful because thou hast today on which thou mayest be improved?
Thus therefore said He to the woman, "Neither will I condemn thee;" but, being made secure concerning the past, beware of the future.
"Neither will I condemn thee:" I have blotted out what thou hast done; keep what I have commanded thee, that thou mayest find what I have promised."…"[1]

Demi Lovato is "so proud of" herself for staying sober for five years.
The 'Cool for the Summer' hitmaker is thrilled to be reaching such a milestone in her recovery but admits there have been ups and downs and times when she "wanted to relapse".
Celebrating the five years with a post on Instagram, she wrote: "So grateful. It's been quite the journey. So many ups and downs. So many times I wanted to relapse but sat on my hands and begged God to relieve the obsession.
"I'm so proud of myself but I couldn't have done it without my higher power (God), my family, friends, and everyone else who supported me. Feeling humbled and joyful today. Thank you guys for sticking by my side and believing in me (sic)"
Meanwhile, Demi previously admitted it "feels amazing" to be celebrating five years sobriety.
She said: "It feels amazing. All I've been doing is focusing on bettering myself. It's been quite the journey, but it's well worth it. Surrendering is the most important thing whenever you're trying to battle your demons. You have to admit that you have a problem first, and then you can overcome them.
"People have reached out and I've been able to help. Some people it helps, some people - that's their own journey. But, if anyone ever needs anything, I'm always around."
And Demi previously admitted she is glad she "created a conversation" about Mental Health by opening up about her own struggles.
She said: "I hope that this film will show people that there is nothing wrong with having a Mental health condition. If you do have one, you are able to live well and thrive with a mental health condition, if you are able to speak up and be vocal about the things you are going through.
"There's something about when you speak out and are vocal about your story, it's very inviting to others who are dealing with the same thing. And if you can make that impact on somebody's life, it does something for you spiritually that makes you want to tell the story again and again and again.
"It's very important we create conversations, we take away the stigma, and that we stand up for ourselves if we're dealing with the symptoms of a mental illness. It is possible to live well and thrive with a mental illness."

Hello All! I've been lurking these boards for a long time & FINALLY decided to join and become an "official" Bee! I am in the beginning process of planning my wedding. I have been obsessed w/using pomanders & shepherds hooks to decorate the sanctuary of my church. My ? is, Are pomanders too outdated? I get that wedding trends constantly change…they were all the rage a few years ago, but now it seems that burlap, mason jars, & lace have taken over as being the most popular tend right now. While I admire this current trend, it real isn't what I wanted to do. I know I'm probably being silly in asking because tow tell you the truth, I am sure no one is going to care about decor as much as me…lol! So tell me ladies, should I use pomanders? I was also thinking about using them for possible centerpieces, but I'm not sure…I would love to know what you think & if anyne has suggestions /ideas, feel free to give your input. Thanks In Advance

What to Look for in a Virtual Prototyping Solution1 May, 2003 By: Don LaCourse
Keep this checklist in mind when evaluating virtual prototyping systems:
Integration. You should be able to work within your familiar CAD environment to model mechanical systems and perform simple motion studies. You should also be able to easily transfer geometry between your CAD system and your virtual prototypes, transfer loads from virtual prototyping to FEA, and bring component flexibility (stiffnesses) from FEA back into virtual prototyping.
Customization. You can build standard models and custom templates that allow untrained designers or engineers to try out design variations. You can also perform standard "virtual tests" on each design alternative to identify the optimal design.
Parameterization. You should find it easy to build parametric models of mechanical systems and then make changes that update the entire model.
Optimization. You can perform DOE (design-of-experiments) studies to thoroughly understand design sensitivities and trade-offs. The system should automatically find an optimal system configuration.
Visualization. You can quickly visualize the effects of virtual prototype changes through the use of fast rendering, real-time animation playback, and sophisticated visualization techniques such as multiple cameras and light sources, translucency, texture mapping, and intuitive VCR-like controls. These capabilities are important both for engineering interpretation and design reviews.

Exhaustible resources have never been something I have enjoyed in games before. That and how the end game play out are my main concerns.
3) Timeline: I'm glad Dan brought this up because this was another concern I had with the game. From my understanding the games time period is 375 to 475/493 AD, which is a hundred years... that means about 1200-1416 turns of play, nearly Marathon length for a Civ V game. That's a lot of time. Of course, maybe I'm off on my timeline and instead of the Fall of the Western Empire as your goal, you are actually targeting the sack of Rome in 410. If that's the case, then you're timeline works for a 400 turn game (technically 420 turns, but who's counting?). This would also change my perception of the goals of the game.
My biggest concern is about the distribution of the game for Alpha and Beta builds.
It would be nice if you could learn ways to spawn new resources. For iron, maybe early on you are only able to obtain easily mined and processed ore, but as you develop through romanization you learn new mining and processing techniques that allows you to obtain resources you could not either obtain before or process effectively?
One thing which would be nice is to make scouts valuable in the late game by allowing them to "search" for resources on tiles as an action. There should only be a small chance, but this would keep "exploration" prominent even in the end game.I've always found Civ V to be lacking in late game exploration options. This would be a nice one to have.

jQuery Event Tracking Generator for Google Analytics/
July 2, 2013
Everybody these days knows about the awesome power of jQuery. Among its multitude of uses, it allows you to target elements on an HTML page in bulk. Let's say you have a page with a hundred different links on it. You might want to target twenty of the links inside a particular list element only, and apply some special click event to just those elements. jQuery is the tool for you, as it can save you from having to write twenty different onclick attributes on each a tag.
jQuery is also an invaluable tool for Google Analytics, as it allows us to reliably target clicks on links of a certain type and send some special event to Google Analytics. For example, you might want to fire off a virtual pageview every time someone clicks on a link with the .pdf extension. Or you might want to fire a custom event on every click of an external link. jQuery makes this task easy, so long as you know how to use it.
Enter the Google Analytics jQuery Tracking Generator. This wizard will auto-generate custom jQuery code to help you fire off custom events, virtual pageviews, or custom variables to Google Analytics, on the links or forms of your choosing!
Follow the steps below and copy the code into your web project. When prompted, you may also click on the big orange button to add multiple events, pageviews and variables, across new links and forms!

Books! Books! Books! Can't get enough of them! But a book is never fully appreciated until it is discussed- with one person, many people, or on a blog. Since I retired, I have always belonged to book clubs - one, two, three, or even four at a time. I always have an opinion about the book I am reading. It isn't always the popular opinion, but it is mine. This is what will be on my blog.

"The Lost Wife" by Alyson Richman
This is the advertising for this novel. And rapture it is! First love- estatic, euphoric. The cover captures it!
This author is a master of words! The writing is sensuous- involving all the senses. Quote: "There are two sensations of skin you will always remember in your lifetime: the first time you fall in love- and that person holds your hand- and the first time your child grasps your finger".
Another quote" "You hear in the person you're destined to love the sound of those yet to be born."
This story is an emotional roller coaster- the love, the war, Auschwitz.
The Nazi invasion of Prague separates this couple for sixty years! Providence gives Lenka and Josef another chance. Lenka's granddaughter is marrying Josef's grandson in New York. Both Lenka and Josef believed that the other had died many years before. Each had married and had children and grandchildren. But the memory of the first love never left either of them. Sixty years is a long time and they barely recognize each other when brought together by fate.
This is an amazing story that was well-researched. It includes the stories of several people whose lives are documented in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
I really struggled with the horrors of Auschwitz- so difficult to understand the depth of suffering.
I was disappointed that the reunion of Lenka and Josef is only mentioned briefly at the beginning and the end. The rest of the book briefly tells Josef's story but relates Lenka's story in detail. She is "The Lost Wife". They had been married very briefly before being separated. I wanted to know what they would say to each other after sixty years, but the novel stops at their first recognition.
This is a very emotional novel about the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the strength of memory.

Thank you Anne for that comment. I was remiss in not mentioning the importance of art, not only with the children at the time, but in documenting this event for history. BettyDelete

It may seem impossible right now, but your toddler will eventually do her business in the toilet instead of in her diaper. Sure, it takes some toddlers longer than others to master the potty, but they all eventually do — really. The key (as with many toddler trials) is patience; it's also wise to wait until your child is truly ready to get started and to take potty training setbacks in stride. Remember, if you keep potty learning low-key, it will go more smoothly for everyone involved.
Whether you're training a boy or a girl, these tips apply:
- Get equipped. You've got two choices: a separate, low-to-the-ground potty chair or an insert that fits on the big toilet seat to make it small enough for little bottoms (if you go this route, you'll also need a step stool). If possible, check out both options together and see what your toddler prefers (buying both won't break the bank, either). Also stock up on liquid soap (for washing little hands), cleansing wipes (the flushable kind for behinds, and the kind for floors and fixtures) small rewards (such as stickers or dollar-store trinkets), and pull-on, disposable training pants or thick, absorbent cloth undies.
- Get naked. Not you — your toddler. If possible, allow your toddler to spend some time diaper-free, either in your backyard, or inside (in a space with easily cleaned floors!). When she must be dressed, keep her in easy on/off pants or skirts with elastic waistbands (there's no time to fuss with buttons or zippers when she's really gotta go!).
- Get reading. Buy or borrow books and dvds about potty training to share with your toddler. Most are available in both boy and girl versions. What to Expect When You Go to the Potty is a good choice.
Potty Training Boys
Boys tend to have a tougher time with the toilet. For one thing, it's probably Mommy, not Daddy, who's doing most of the coaching, so there's little opportunity to actually show him how it's done. Plus, boys need to master both sitting and standing to do their business. These tips should help your son catch on, though a male role model is a definite plus.
- Start with sitting. Have him sit down for both peeing and pooping at first. For now, it's tough enough just getting to the potty in time without having to decide whether to sit or stand. Plus, since one bathroom visit might produce both, er, outputs, it's easier if your son stays in one spot for the whole shebang. Once he's really got the hang of things, he can stand "just like Daddy."
- Point in the right direction. Whether he's standing or sitting, show your son how to aim (you might give your hubby a refresher course, too). He needs to point his penis down into the toilet to make sure the pee goes where it needs to go. If/when he stands to pee, you can do target practice by floating O-shaped cereal, bits of toilet paper, or drops of food coloring in the toilet bowl and challenging him to go for a bull's-eye.
- Teach ups and downs. Now's the time to teach your son some basic potty etiquette. If he's standing up to pee, show him how to raise the seat (all the way, so it won't fall down on him midstream) and then lower it again when he's finished. (Here's another lesson that Daddy may need to brush up on!) And don't forget to flush!
Potty Training Girls
With their seated-only style, it's a little easier to train toddler girls. You can follow the general tips above, and don't forget to lavish on the praise and positive reinforcement. The only girl-specific advice you need: Teach your daughter to wipe front to back to avoid spreading bacteria. If this is too tricky for now, you can have her pat dry instead.
Good luck, and go with the flow!See more toddler growth and development tips.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown lobbied yesterday for better access to dental care for the poor and uninsured.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown lobbied yesterday for better access to dental care for the poor and uninsured.
But he was unwilling to take a swipe at Gov. Ted Strickland, a fellow Democrat, for backing off a promise to expand Medicaid dental coverage to 700,000 low-income adults in Ohio.
Speaking at a statewide summit at the Hyatt on Capitol Square sponsored by the Ohio Coalition for Oral Health, Brown said the need for dental care is often overshadowed by overall concerns over health care. However, he pointed out that 36 million Americans are unable to afford basic dental care.
Brown, the son of a doctor, said recent statistics show just 72 percent of adults in Ohio have visited a dentist or dental clinic in the past year. Most don't go because they can't afford it.
That was why state lawmakers this year agreed with Strickland's budget plan to restore $15 million in dental benefits for low-income adults, which had been cut during the Taft administration. Strickland also lobbied for a 3.2 percent increase in Medicaid rates to hospitals and a 3 percent increase for doctors and other community-based providers starting Jan. 1. Those would cost an additional $50 million.
However, Strickland slammed on the brakes last week, delaying the expansions indefinitely. The administration cited souring economic conditions and a greater-than-expected Medicaid caseload.
Representatives of the physicians and dentist associations said that could further shred the safety net for Ohio's poor.
Brown told those at the conference that Strickland "just doesn't have the money." He attributed that to the fact that a proposed $35 billion expansion of the state children's health-insurance program, approved by Congress, was vetoed by President Bush.
Brown, who served with Strickland in the U.S. House, defended the governor as "absolutely committed" to improving Medicaid care. He refused to criticize the governor's decision to renege on his promise to expand services.
"I haven't seen the inside of the state budget. He's got to make his own decisions."

OAK HILL - Not many couples make it to a 75th anniversary. In fact, the University of Minnesota's population center estimates there are no more than 1,000 couples in the U.S. who have been married for 75 years or more.
So many ingredients and chemistry must be present for a couple to see years and years of matrimony which include, strong health, patience, compromise, commitment, understanding and most of all, love.
Mary, 92 and Clarence Joyce, 93, a couple from Connecticut who snowbird in Oak Hill, have discovered these qualities in each other and have joined the ranks of couples who have beaten the odds.
The Joyces were high school sweethearts and after they graduated, were married on Nov. 30, 1937 in Patterson, N.Y., during the great depression. The Joyces enjoyed a wonderful young life together and in 1943 Clarence entered the Navy as a volunteer. During this time the Joyces were raising three children: son Ronnie Joyce and oldest daughter Carol Tinman, both of Edgewater, and the baby, Nancy Schulz of Connecticut.
Clarence built their family home where they lived for 53 years in Danbury, Conn. They sold it in 2005. After their daughter, Carol moved to Edgewater, Mary and Clarence would come down to visit. One year while visiting, Clarence was with Carol's husband Tim, as he launched his boat at a slip in Oak Hill. Clarence fell in love with the spot and decided to purchase a travel trailer and keep it in the Oak Hill park as their home six months out of the year. The other half of the year they live in their own four-room apartment their daughter Nancy has for them at her home in Milford, Conn.
Every May Nancy's husband drives down and brings the couple back up North. The Joyces have been residing every six months out of the year in their travel trailer for the past 32 years. "Everyone is like family (in the travel trailer park)," said Clarence.
The spot was even more perfect than they hoped. They enjoyed many launches from Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral."It was a perfect view. You could see the launch clearly from our home. We didn't plan it that way, we just chose the right place," said Clarence.
For 75 years together, the couple feels like it has, "flown by." "Our secret for a long happy marriage is enjoying our children and their children," said Mary.
The Joyce's three children have given the couple 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. "The support of our children is wonderful. They are all retired now and spend a lot of time with us. They are very good to us. Watching the grandchildren adds pleasure to our days. Our family is our life," said Mary.
"Every month we celebrate a birthday or an anniversary. Every date is written down in my (date) book. It's hard to remember them all from memory. God help me if I lose that book," she chuckled.
One of their 3-year-old great grandchildren wrapped a present for each one and they can't open it until Christmas.
"No one has any idea what is in the packages. We can hardly wait until Christmas to find out what they are," said the couple.
"We still enjoy trips to the grocery store and post office together, but everything now takes three times longer," said Mary. "We also realize as Clarence and I get older we understand each other more and have learned to enjoy and appreciate what we have while we have it. We don't disagree as much, we just don't have the energy anymore," Mary said laughing. "You just basically respond with 'yes dear.'" Both agreed and smiled at each other.
Oak Hill couple beats the odds, celebrates 75th anniversary

Our story.
Ripe is the product of a unique collaboration between writer Cheryl Sternman Rule and photographer Paulette Phlipot.
In 2008, Cheryl and Paulette met at a culinary conference in New Orleans and immediately hit it off. When they began brainstorming ways to work together in the months that followed, Paulette shared her long-held desire to photograph a fruit and vegetable coffee table book that would showcase common produce items in fresh, compelling ways. The pair ultimately decided to expand this vision into a color-drenched cookbook that would include Cheryl's whimsical vignettes, accessible recipes, and practical ingredient combinations as well as Paulette's powerful photography.
To produce the content for the book, Cheryl traveled to Paulette's home in Sun Valley, and Paulette traveled to Cheryl's home in San Jose. In addition to cooking and photographing when together, each worked on her own while the two were apart. Emails flew, and frequent phone calls kept the pair in sync.
Ripe: A Fresh, Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables is the result of this joint effort, an effort supported enthusiastically by the dedicated publishing team at Running Press.
Cheryl Sternman Rule is an award-winning food writer whose work has appeared in a wide variety of national food magazines and websites, including EatingWell, Cooking Light, Health, Sunset, Body + Soul, Vegetarian Times, iVillage, Culinate, and more.

IT'S not just the quantity of winners – an AP McCoy-like eight victories from 17 rides since Christmas – which prove that jump jockey David Bass is currently in the form of his life.
It is the quality of those successes, not least a long-overdue first Grade One win when Bass rode Barters Hill, one of National Hunt racing's most exciting young horses, to Challow Hurdle glory at Newbury last week.
He had a long wait to hear his name being read out on the national sports bulletins. It is nearly a decade since Bass joined Nicky Henderson's yard and four years since being entrusted with the ride on Sprinter Sacre when the equine superstar made a winning steeplechase debut at Doncaster in December 2011.
Then the pressure was etched across the young rider's face – it was one of his first high-profile rides. Today Bass – older and certainly more wiser – belongs in the big time and believes Barters Hill, a deserved ante-post favourite for the three-mile Albert Bartlett Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, could be his horse of a lifetime.
"The Challow was massive," the 27-year-old told The Yorkshire Post in an exclusive interview. "I had had a few seconds in Grade Ones in the past and I was desperate to get one on the board. I have a lot of faith in the horse and I think he could be very special.
"I had ridden him before he even raced and I thought he was very backward. At home, he's so laid back. He's very lazy and just plods around the place, but he's already proved me wrong. it's good to be involved with a horse like this from the outset."
The results speak for themselves – four Bumper wins last season, including an informative Grade Two race at Aintree's Grand National meeting, and two subsequent successes over hurdles leave the Ben Pauling-trained hurdler unbeaten from six starts.
It certainly helps that horse and rider appear tailor-made for each other. "He's still green. At Newbury, he showed signs of greenness before winning by 12 lengths. He's still racing lazily. I like to be positive and you have to be positive on him to keep his mind on the job," said Bass.
"When I first schooled him, I didn't think he was the most natural of jumpers, but it was him being lazy and going through the motions, but I was really pleased with his hurdling at Newbury and he has the scope to jump a fence in time. I'm sure there's a lot more to come from him."
The same applies in equal measure to both Bass and Barters Hill's young trainer Ben Pauling, who became friends when serving their respective apprenticeships with the aforementioned Henderson.
"We often went racing together in the car," said the jockey. "Coming from Nicky's, he knows how to give horses time and be patient. It definitely helped a lot with Barters Hill."
This approach is reaping rewards – Pauling's rise to prominence since going it alone in 2013 is one reason why Bass is on the 38-winner mark for the current campaign and on course to beat his personal best tally of 46 successes in the 2014-15 season.
Born in Northamptonshire, he is still a slightly unlikely jockey – his parents are both classical musicians while his youngster sister plays the harp at the prestigious Royal College of Music. Yet Bass is grateful to his parents for taking him point-to-point racing and also inspiring his own passion for music which helps him to relax. This, and a growing awareness of current affairs, means it is easier for him now to accept the disappointment of defeat.
After stints at the British Racing School, and then the yards of Richard Philips and the late point-to-point trainer John Manners, Bass was persuaded by his friend Felix de Giles – now based in France – to join the Seven Barrows stable in Lambourn as Henderson began to acquire future champions like Sprinter Sacre, Bobs Worth and Binocular.
"To ride Sprinter Sacre – just once – was really special," said Bass.
"I was still a conditional. For Nicky to put the faith in me, it was quite a big thing. I don't know if I will ever again ride a horse as good as him over fences."
Bass keeps trying to persuade Nico de Boinville, his house-mate, to forego the ride on Sprinter Sacre now that steeplechasing's standard-bearer is on the comeback trail following two stirring successes and now bound for the Queen Mother Champion Chase which he won in 2013.
The rivalry between Bass and de Boinville, another Henderson protégé, is a friendly one which is helping spur both to success.
When the former recorded his first winner at the Cheltenham Festival last March when the Kim Bailey-trained Darna bounded clear in the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate, the latter trumped this success 24 hours later by winning a fairytale Gold Cup on the novice Coneygree.
"Typical Nico!" joked Bass. "I was getting a bit annoyed with the Cheltenham Festival.
"My strike rate at the course is terrible, but it's the be-all and end-all. To get on the right horse, and for it to go right, it takes some doing."
Like his Grade One success, Bass hopes this will be the first many of many Cheltenham Festival successes as he divdes his time between the Pauling, Henderson and Bailey stables.
After Polly Peachum's last-gasp success at Sandown for Henderson, he's on the Bailey-trained Un Ace – racing record-breaker AP McCoy's last Ascot winner – in today's William Hill Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton.
They have an each-way chance, though 11st 3lb on rain-softened ground might prove their undoing.
"Confidence is a massive thing," adds Bass with infectious enthusiasm.
"I'm riding good horses for good trainers. The more success you have, the more you want it. I can't complain."

text: From: firstname.lastname@example.com Date: Fri, 19 Nov 1999 11:00:26 -0800 I believe I'm running into the same problem with another device. A Cardinal 56K modem, which has had similar problems for about a year. It works up to 38400 but becomes unreliable at higher speeds. What has worried me about that problem is that it works fine at 115200 under FreeBSD. However, I've just lived with the 38400. The bottem line when using a 16550A UART in a UNIX-like OS is that the system must service the FIFO in the time it takes for 14 or so characters to come in. Apparently, this is not happening.Actually, the UART interrupts when the FIFO is half-full, so the OS has8 character times in which to react. On the other hand, even at 38400 I get lots of errors. Can the latency in linux be that bad?Are you using an old IDE controller that does programmed I/O (i.e., noDMA?). If so, look at the man page for hdparm's -u option. That shouldmake your problem go away. (The explanation for the -u option will alsoexplain why this isn't the default.) If my analysis is right I can think of two fixes for this problem, of which I consider only one of value. The of value fix works like this: The serial driver itself keeps a local circular buffer of say 4096 characters.The serial driver already has a local two 512 byte double-buffers, andthat's not the problem. At 38400, the problem isn't that the we're notgetting things out of the double-buffer to the 4k high-level tty bufferfast enough.The problem is that certain other device drivers (and the IDE PIO driveris the prime example) keeps interrupts off to long, thus increasing theinterrupt latency to the point where you start overflowing the FIFO.Increasing the buffer which the interrupt routine uses to copycharacters out of the FIFO isn't going to help, because they're gettinglost before the interrupt routine even has a chance to run. One thing I've never understood is that many of these problems come about due the the old unix tty line discipline. Why not make a raw mode serial driver that bypasses all this?There is a raw mode in the serial driver; if you don't need to do anycooked line discpline processing, all of that code gets bypassed. Butas I explained, the problem is that characters are getting lost beforethe interrupt routine even has a chance to run. Another fix is implemented in some UARTS (16550A like chips).The other fix is to use UART's with bigger FIFO's. The OxfordSemiconductor has a UART with a 128-byte FIFO, which is quite nice. - Ted-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

ELISA Procedure for Measuring Serum Antibody Titer
| Immunoassays are a powerful technique for detecting and measuring antigens and antibodies. Immunoassays can be classified three ways based on the steps involved:
Many types of immunoassays can be used to detect and quantitate both antigens and antibodies, but there are differences in the avidity requirements for the antibodies, the signal strengths of the labels, and the amount of background for each of these types of assays. Antibody capture assays are the most appropriate for measuring the titer of the antisera you have generated.
ELISA Procedure for Measuring Serum Antibody TiterIn this type of ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbant Assay), the antigen (peptide or protein) is bound to the polystyrene microtiter plate first. The antiserum containing the anti-peptide antibody is then added to the well and allowed to bind. Finally, a second antibody, specific for the first antibody and labeled for detection, is added to the well and allowed to bind. The second antibody usually has an enzyme conjugated to it. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of colored substance, e.g., p-nitrophenol, from a colorless substrate, p-nitrophenylphosphate (Figure 21). This colored substance is then quantified and the amount of antibody present can be calculated.
This procedure has two parts. Part 1 applies to any detection protocol. Part 2 describes two different detection methods. To measure an antibody titer, decide on the detection method first, then complete both Parts 1 and 2.
Part 1: Antigen and Antibody
Equipment Needed
Solutions to Prepare for the ELISA Procedure
ELISA ProcedureRun duplicates or triplicates of each of antiserum dilution. The ELISA template in Table 3 can be used to track the experiments.

|Worried about the economy but still eating seafood.
"We were able to rebound from difficult weather challenges in December with a very strong January and February," said Joe R. Lee, Darden chairman and CEO. "Our excellent performance this quarter, despite a more uncertain economic environment, is a testament to the power of the positive long-term trends fueling the growth of casual dining."
Olive Garden posted a 5.6% increase in same-store sales that the company said followed three promotions, including its "Chicken Scampi" effort.
Red Lobster reported a 5.5% same-restaurant sales increase -- its best third-quarter period in five years following a December socked by bad weather.
'A pound of crab'
"We came back strong in January with the 'A Pound of Crab for $10.99' promotion and our Crazy Legs advertising campaign," said a spokesman. "In January we led the entire casual-dining segment in monthly same-restaurant sales, and we were double the casual-dining industry average for same-store sales increases, according to Knapp Track," he added.
The chain is still searching for a replacement for a chief marketer after Wyman Roberts left the company in January to become executive vice president marketing-chief marketing officer of the Universal Studios Recreation Group.
The company also continued expanding its newer concepts. Darden opened new Bahama Breeze units in four cities, with seven more under construction. Its Smokey Bones BBQ Sports Bar chain added three restaurants since the prior quarter, with two more expected to open later in the fiscal year.
The share price for the $4 billion company closed down today 15 cents at $23.02.

Syrian Wars and Colonial Bores
Dear Friends,
On September 25, 2017, the Iraqi Kurdish population will go to the polls for a referendum towards their independence from Iraq. The picture above - taken by Shama - is of a pro-independence rally headlined by Masoud Barjani, the President of Iraqi Kurdistan. Some say that Barjani asked for the referendum to consolidate his own power rather than to consider the full meaning of this vote not only for the Iraqi Kurds, but for the Kurds in Iran, Syria and Turkey. Nonetheless, the referendum is on the table.
Last week, I talked to my contacts in the Turkish military, one of whom

1939...Near The Corner of Bleaker Street.
1939--Near The Corner Of Bleaker Street.
Somewhere a knife lies,
just east of recognition,
serrated and stained
by the blood of a victim
a policeman's fair daughter
who now lies in a morgue,
with her throat cruelly slashed
only hours before.
All the gumshoes are searching
in November's gray drizzles
with a hot rage that sizzles
under their overcoats,
for one glint of reflection
from the gutters or alleys,
hoping streetlamps fogged over,
light a sharp blade that's bleeding
evidence in the rain.
Then suddenly harsh cries,
split their paths of detection,
leather soles slap the pavement,
towards the source of the fray,
two men struggle, quite desperate,
as one slashes, one counters,
while he struggles to reach
for his 38. snub nose,
snuggled tight in his holster
but a gash rips his coat-sleeve,
rending flesh, crippling muscles,
as his killer moves in,
for a more vital spot.
Then a volley of gunshots,
hammer scum to a brick wall,
as the knife they were seeking,
tumbles from his limp hand,
as four dealers of justice,
deal a date with a spade,
that will soon dig a grave,
for one cowardly killer,
as they move in to aid,
one of their own now wounded,
two head straight to the body
of the madman they felled,
to make sure that he's gone,
while the other two tend
to the G-man by tying
a tourniquet over
the wound he incurred.
Hours later the killer,
lay just two drawers away,
from the girl that he butchered,
never knowing that he'd
truly picked the wrong victim,
setting all of truths guardians
loose on his trail.
He had simply stepped out
to dispose of the weapon,
used to snuff out her life
and was caught
near a dumpster
when he lifted its lid,
and it let out a creak
plus a shadow emerging
from behind him in darkness,
who recognized instantly
why he was there.
The rest is all history,
on black and white pages,
dusty evidence drawers,
hold what he failed to hide,
both the girl and the maggot
are now nothing but bones,
just tragic statistics
from an old homicide.
That sounds as if it based on true story. Quite a different visual of Bleaker Street, than I have gathered along with the wind from the old Simon and Garfunkle song. I have never been there myself. Thanks for taking me there with your words, even under the violent circumstances. Violence is the true face of things in this age. Life imitates art, and art pictures life. Take care.

March 29, 2008
NORRISTOWN, Pa. - Sophomore lefthander Randy Mower dazzled for nine innings as the Saint Joseph's baseball team earned a 3-0 shutout win over Temple on Saturday afternoon. It is the first complete game shutout by an SJU pitcher since Al Braun blanked Duquesne, 7-0, on May 20, 2005.
Saint Joseph's (9-15, 2-3 Atlantic 10) finally broke through in the bottom of the fifth inning, taking a 3-0 lead. A bunt single by Matt Barnathan and a pair of errors left the Hawks with runners on second and third with nobody out. After a strikeout, senior Chris Cashman was hit by a pitch to lad the bases with one out. Jeremy Jakubowski hit a comeback grounder to Temple pitcher Matt Mongiardini, whose throw home sailed past catcher Kyle Obal to allow Brian Hartsell score the first run of the game. A sacrifice fly by David Valesente put SJU up by two. Drew Smith poked a single through the right side to bring home Cashman with the third and final run of the game.
Mower was masterful, holding Temple (12-9, 4-1 Atlantic 10) to just three hits. He struck out six while walking just one and hitting a batter. He faced just four batters over the minimum in his second complete game of the season (March 11 at Seton Hall, a 5-2 win). Mower's record improves to 3-2, matching his win total from 2007.
Mongiardini was strong early as well, as SJU managed only two hits through the first four innings. All three Hawk runs were unearned, as the Owls committed four errors, three of them in the pivotal fifth inning. His record falls to 4-1.
The teams will return to Latshaw-McCarthy Field on Sunday for the rubber game of the series. Temple will start senior righthander Mike Mongiardini (1-2, 4.05 ERA) while the Hawks will turn to a senior righthander of their own in Don Werner (2-2, 5.47 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for noon.

STOCKTON - About 120 union workers and their supporters called on Port of Stockton officials Monday to do more to fulfill their claims the port provides "family wage" jobs that contribute to the area's economy.
STOCKTON - About 120 union workers and their supporters called on Port of Stockton officials Monday to do more to fulfill their claims the port provides "family wage" jobs that contribute to the area's economy.
International Longshore and Warehouse Union officials, who called the demonstration outside the port's administrative offices, said the agency greatly exaggerated in recent advertising that touted the creation of 4,500 family wage jobs.
"Where are they?" asked Ric Fideldy, Longshore Local 54's president.
He said companies leasing warehouse space on a former Navy base acquired by the port in 2000 give most of their workers wages less than $15 an hour with few benefits.
While admitting that in today's economy "any job seems like a blessing," that sort of wage is only enough to keep a worker and his family going from payday to payday.
Give workers $15 to $20 an hour and good benefits instead, and you give them a step toward a middle-class life, Fideldy said.
"Live up to your advertisements and bring real family wage jobs to everyone working here at the port," he told Stockton port commissioners gathered for their regular meeting Monday.
Port Director Richard Ascheris responded by saying most non-maritime port tenants provide entry-level jobs in the "14-, 17- and 18-dollar range with benefits, and there is a $48-to-$65-an-hour range for management positions."
"This is much better than being unemployed, earning zero dollars an hour and living in a car or under a bridge," he said.
He also sparked a response from the Longshore union by claiming it, too, should open up opportunities for more of San Joaquin County's nearly 700,000 residents.
The union has 165 members, Aschieris said, "and when these jobs become available, many of these positions are provided only to the sons, daughters, cousins and other close family members of current union members."
"That was insulting," Adam Mendez, secretary-treasurer ofLongshore Local 10 in San Francisco, said about Aschieris' nepotism charge. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
Fideldy said Local 54 held a lottery in March and received 3,000 applications for 45 new union slots.
Building trades unions also attended Monday's demonstration and commission meeting, arguing that any building project at the port - whether paid by public funds or private business dollars - should require union-scale wages.
Contact reporter Reed Fujii at (209) 546-8253 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Visit his blog at recordnet.com/blogs.
Tony Bertolucci, president of the San Joaquin-Calaveras Building Trades Labor Council, said it was simply wrong - at a time when union electricians from Stockton are out of work - to have an Oregon contractor paying nonunion laborers $12 to $20 an hour on a private construction project at the port.
"The Port of Stockton needs to address the interests of the residents and businesses of San Joaquin County," he said.
"What about our dreams?" asked Jim Perkett, a Stockton resident and union electrician who has been unemployed for two months.

According to Hood River Sheriff Detective Matt English, the 20-30-year-old, white male suspect remains at large on the Feb. 6 attempted child abduction in Odell.
The vehicle involved was a small passenger car light in color bearing a blue racing stripe.
"There is nothing to new report at this time," said English; however, the tip hotline has continued to receive multiple calls and reports. English could not give details on the reports but did confirm they are coming from a wide geographic range.
The anonymous report phone number is: 541-387-7077.
• A Hood River based private self-defense training company is offering upcoming classes for women as well as a "Mommy and Me" self defense course, according to Michael Martin, BDT training instructor.
"It's never too early to teach our kids how to identify a danger and how to react to it," he wrote on the Best Defense Training Facebook page. "We train both mom and child what to do, so they can continue to work on it at home.
"It's a three-hour course for parents and school-age children," Martin wrote. The cost is $25/duo and $5/additional child. Here are the details:
Mommy and Me class -March 12, noon to 3 p.m. See the company website for more information.
• Women's basic self-defense class - Feb. 26, noon to 3 p.m. at HRVHS. Cost is $25 for adults and $15 for 14- to 17-year-olds.

About RBC > Community & Sustainability > RBC in Action > RBC donates $200,000 to National Arts Centre Orchestra to tour the United Kingdom in 2014
November 11, 2013 - RBC has donated $200,000 to support Canada's National Arts Centre (NAC) Orchestra as they head out on an educational tour of the United Kingdom to commemorate the First World War Centenary. The NAC is honoured to announce His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales as Royal Patron for the tour.
"We are honoured to celebrate Canadian achievements on the world stage, and support this magnificent orchestra in its tour to the U.K., where we have more than 100 years of history," said Gord Nixon, president and CEO of RBC. "We are pleased to help commemorate Canada's contributions to the First World War on behalf all of our employees whose family members served."
Almost 1,500 RBC employees enlisted for active service in the First World War. Of these, 191 lost their lives with 60 per cent of those enlisted returning to the bank after the war. In 1920, RBC published a Roll of Honour commemorating staff members who died or were missing in action. Eight years later, the bank erected large memorial tablets in a newly constructed head office building in Montreal.
As part of the tour, the NAC Orchestra will perform six major concerts and participate in more than two dozen education and outreach activities to commemorate Canada's contributions to the First World War and also to celebrate the deep and longstanding ties between Canada and the U.K.
The First World War is particularly significant to Canadians and is often portrayed as a pivotal moment in Canadian history when Canada came of age as a nation. The 2014 U.K. Tour will honour the legacy of the Great War through music by marking this important anniversary and engaging young people in Canada and the U.K. in their shared history.
RBC is a long-standing supporter of the arts in Canada and around the world, and is recognized among the world's financial, social and environmental leaders. RBC supports a broad range of community initiatives through donations, sponsorships and employee volunteer activities. In 2012, we contributed more than $95 million to causes worldwide, including donations and community investments of more than $64 million and $31 million in sponsorships.

Steven Spielberg Surgery Shocker!
Major surgery for Steven Spielberg has left the Oscar-winning blockbuster director minus one kidney.
The procedure, performed at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was ordered up after doctors discovered an unspecified "irregularity" on the kidney during a routine physical, a statement from the mogul's DreamWorks studio said today.
It was not specified when the surgery occurred — just that it was declared a success (such as it was) and that a speedy recovery was expected, with no follow-up treatment required.
For those unaware of the basics of biology, humans, as a rule, come equipped with two kidneys. We can function just fine with one — most of us just would really rather not.
Spielberg's kidney operation apparently occurred sometime after Jan. 23 — when the 52-year-old director was seen handling presenter duties at the Golden Globes. The director also made the award-show rounds the day after the Globes when he was on hand for the Broadcast Film Critics awards luncheon, also in Los Angeles. In both cases, the filmmaker appeared in good health.
Today, Spielberg was said to be convalescing at home. And according to his spokesman, he'll be back on the award-show circuit as soon as Saturday, when he's scheduled to receive an honor at the NAACP Image Awards in Pasadena, California. (Next month will bring yet another rubber chicken dinner occasion: the Directors Guild of America Awards on March 11, where Spielberg is scheduled to receive, yes, a lifetime achievement honor.)
As the most commercially successful filmmaker of the 20th century, Spielberg's is a name that needs no resume attached, but for the sake of completeness, his filmography includes the likes of "Jaws" (1975), "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982), "Schindler's List" (1993) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998). The latter two films won him Oscars for Best Director.
Spielberg's next directing assignment reportedly will be "Minority Report," a sci-fi flick that would pair him for the first time with Tom Cruise.
Spielberg has been married to actress Kate Capshaw, his second wife, since 1991.

Homel regional court didn't grant complaint of BPF member
On 9 April the Homel regional court considered the complaint against the non-registration of Uladzimir Tseliapun, a member of the Belarusian Popular Front Party, as a candidate for the Mazyr district Council of Deputies.
Bear in mind that on 5 April this very court had refused to consider Tseliapun's complaint against the decision of the Homel regional election commission according to which he hadn't been registered as a candidate, referring to its incompetency to try such cases. However, after distribution of information about the ignorance of Judge M.Nadtochei and addresses to the Central Election Commission concerning the contradiction of this refusal to the election legislation, the panel of judges of the Supreme Court reversed the ruling of the Homel regional court and returned the case for the second trial.
As a result, on 9 April Judge L.Buyankova considered the case and upheld the decision of the district and the regional election commissions by which Mr. Tseliapun had been denied registration as a candidate. This court verdict is final and non-appealable.
It's quite interesting that during the trial Judge Buyankova stated that the earlier court ruling concerning the refusal to consider the case would be included in the copy of the verdict, which wasn't done.
The trial was also attended by the secretaries of the district and the regional election commissions, V.Baikova and H.Salanets. The latter delivered a speech at the trial, in which she stated that all Tseliapun's complaints were aimed at undermining the state system – that's how state officials treat a civilized attempt of Uladzimir Tseliapun to defend his electoral rights!
