If recent news about what chemical compounds have been found in streams and lakes today prompts thoughts that water quality was better way back when, think again.
A newly released study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), prepared in cooperation with the City of Boulder, Colorado, provides an overview of water quality in the Boulder Creek Watershed today, and how it has changed over 160 years.
Gold mining records, typhoid cases, and historical accounts, such as a 1905 newspaper article claiming that drinking Boulder Creek water "gave the sensation of swallowing rope," were used to determine water quality in the Boulder Creek Watershed since 1859.
Colorful photographs, maps, and easy-to-read text fill the 30-page report, entitled State of the Watershed: Water Quality of Boulder Creek, Colorado. It addresses the impacts of land use change, water diversions, urban runoff, and wastewater effluent on water quality throughout the watershed. The report also addresses potential water quality issues of the future.
"Never has there been a document which so clearly outlines the history and possible future of water quality in Boulder County," said Donna Scott of the City of Boulder´s Public Works Department. "It will be very useful in guiding water quality policies."
State of the Watershed: Water Quality of Boulder Creek, Colorado, by Sheila Murphy, 2006, USGS Circular 1284, is available online at http://pubs.water.usgs.gov/circ1284/; print copies may be obtained for $4 by calling 1-888-ASK-USGS.
The USGS serves the nation by providing reliable scientific information to describe and understand the Earth; minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters; manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life.

Anyone who works or is familiar with network marketing knows that relationships are critical to your success. What better way to create this but through Facebook, the king of relationship building. In this past year, Facebook has grown to 1 billion members. That is huge! For my business, it just makes sense.
If you decide to include Facebook in your marketing strategy there are a few steps you should take daily in your approach.
1. Reach out to 10-Myrtle-Beach0 new prospects per day within your market
Look for those who you can relate to or may be good potentials for your business. You can like their page and comment on their header or posts. This is a great way to get them to look at your fan page and like or comment as well.
2. Add pictures, quotes etc to your page daily
This keeps those visiting your page coming back. This adds value to your readers and helps most of us network marketers the inspiration we need! There is nothing worse than arriving on a fan page full of advertising or pitching their products.
3. Reply to all comments!
It is so important to engage. I see so many in network marketing not answering questions from others. If someone is asking for your help, help them or guide them. In the end, it will work in your favor.
4. Facebook advertising
Advertise a blog you wrote or advertise a link to a capture page for your affiliate or network marketing. This is a great way to bring traffic to your site or create new email leads for your email marketing.
Like I said above, not only add inspirational quotes but add valuable information that will help your fans with their business. Give them a reason to come back. Do not sell sell sell. No one wants to be reached by someone trying to sell their product. Here is where attraction marketing comes into play. Add value, help them and in return they may be interested in working with you. Sell yourself, not your product. Please!
6. Have a separate fan page with your name in your header
I recommend keeping your personal page and business page separate. It is very easy to create a fan page on Facebook. Please feel free to contact me if you need help.
7. Fill in the about me page with your blog or resources
Why would not you add your website or blog? This is a must! If someone is interested in what you have to offer, have your link on your about me page!
8. Add your business or affiliate capture pages to your tabs
In Facebook's new page set up, you can add tabs just below your header. This is the perfect opportunity to show what you offer with links to your blog or website and several capture pages of information / business ops you offer.
The key to Facebook marketing is the same with any kind of marketing. Build a relationship and trust with your audience. If they like what they see, they will come back for more.

Snyder signs bills promoting courtroom efficiencyAlso signs two other bills
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Rick Snyder today signed legislation streamlining the process of preliminary hearings at the district court level. Snyder called for improvements to the hearing process in his public safety special message in March 2012.
"These updates are necessary to improve the treatment of crime victims, limit officer time in the courtroom and ensure we are using state resources in the most efficient way," Snyder said.
House Bill 5154, sponsored by state Rep. Tom Leonard, revises the procedures associated with preliminary examinations in Michigan criminal proceedings. District courts will be required to offer teleconference and video options for certain witnesses, allow certain types of hearsay evidence and offer a probable cause conference within 14 days of arraignment. The bill also authorizes district courts to accept felony pleas.
HB 5155, sponsored by state Rep. John Walsh, expands the jurisdiction of the district courts as necessary to allow for the preliminary hearing reforms in HB 5154.
The bills are now Public Acts 123 and 124 of 2014, respectively.
Snyder also signed two other bills:
HB 5277, sponsored by state Rep. Mike Callton, simplifies state statute regarding foreclosure and brings it in line with federal guidelines. The bill also limits the number of property inspections the purchaser can make during the redemption period and 72 hours' notice must be given before any inspection. It is now PA 125.
Senate Bill 562, sponsored by state Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker, establishes that payments owed by a local unit to a county Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund are a lien that can be satisfied by reducing future payments from the fund to the local unit. It is now PA 126.

Two touches of class from Matt Pinkerton provided Tauranga Boys' College (TBC) with an opening win in the Rankin Cup national secondary schools hockey championships.
Boys' college beat Lindisfarne College of Hawkes Bay 2-0 in Pool H before playing Rosmini of Auckland last night.
Pinkerton's first goal came after a high ball was flicked through from near halfway by his captain Connor Garner.
Pinkerton controlled it beautifully on the baseline and even though it touched the umpire, he had the presence of mind to dribble it across in front of goal and score with a brilliant reverse shot to the stick side of the Lindisfarne goalkeeper.
"That's why you love having a Matt Pinkerton in your team," coach Stephen Graham said afterwards.
"A lot of players, if it comes off an umpire, would stand there and freeze for a bit. Obviously he knows the rule pretty well."
Pinkerton's second goal also owed a good deal to his individual skills, controlling the ball inside the circle and shooting along the ground under the flailing Lindisfarne keeper Jay Rerekura.
Those goals came at the eight and 20 minute marks of the second half, but there had been some nervous moments for Tauranga not long beforehand.
After an indecisive first half, Tauranga were under serious pressure early in the second period. Lindisfarne, after some strong work from Samuel Porter-Samuels, drew three penalty corners in the space of five minutes but couldn't score from any of them.
Tauranga keeper William Gourley was especially heroic in saving the third as he quickly made himself horizontal to block the shot.
"I think William is one of the best keepers in his age group so to have him at the school is awesome" says Graham, himself capped 26 times as the Black Sticks keeper.
The coach was naturally delighted with the final outcome as he thinks his team's pool is particularly even.
"Every game matters because we could end up in a situation where placings in the pool depend on goal difference. So to get that two goal differential is really pleasing for us."
Tauranga Boys' hope to improve on their eighth place at last year's Rankin Cup.
The they have ever done was 15 years ago when they finished third with a team that included future Black Sticks Andy Haywood and Graham himself.
Their final pool match is back on home turf at Boys College today at 1.20pm.
TBC are in Pool H and their first playoff games will be against a team from Pool A.
That pool includes defending Rankin Cup champions, Christs College of Christchurch.

Type A Machines to Offer Mosaic Manufacturing's Multi-Color, Multi-Material Palette Device
Multi-color 3D printing is still a fresh enough development that when a new multi-color 3D printer comes out, we can't help but be excited – especially when it's a machine that offers a whole new twist on the technology. Most multi-color desktop 3D printers – at least the affordable ones – require multiple extruders, which typically means both more bulk and higher cost. Plus, there's the simple fact that 3D printers are costly in general, meaning that makers who have purchased standard single-color printers are left with bad cases of printer envy every time a new multi-color model comes out.
It's no surprise, then, that Mosaic Manufacturing had such a hit on their hands with last year's introduction of the Palette, a device that allows users to turn just about any single-color 3D printer into a multi-color, multi-material machine, without adding multiple extruders. The Palette, which pulled in $231,803 CAD in a Kickstarter campaign – well over its goal of $75,000 – utilizes a patented method called SEEM (Series Enabled Extrusion of Materials) Technology, which automatically cuts one strand of filament and fuses it with the next whenever the .gcode specifies a new color or material. Thus, users can print a single piece with up to four colors or materials with a continuous strand of filament coming from only one extruder, while a closed-loop feedback system includes clean and precise layer deposition.
The Toronto-based Mosaic Manufacturing has now announced that the Palette is coming to the United States market via a partnership with San Leandro, California 3D printer manufacturer Type A Machines. The company, which manufactures the popular Series 1 and Series 1 Pro FFF 3D printers as well as the printer networking tool Print Pod and a growing selection of specialized materials, will be the first outside printer manufacturer to offer the Palette via their online store.
"Many have attempted to solve the challenge of printing with multiple filaments, Type A Machines included," said Andrew Rutter, Type A Machines founder and CEO. "Mosaic has created the first real solution that solves the immediate need for high-quality multi-color printing, while opening the door to new multi-filament applications with the Series 1. We are excited to be the only printer manufacturer offering this significant advance in multi-filament printing."
The Palette will be bundled with new Series 1 and Series 1 Pro orders, as well as separately for those who already own a Series 1. Shipments are expected to begin in January 2017, with a retail price of $999. The Series 1 bundle will include full documentation as well as the additional parts needed to connect the Palette to the printer.
"The partnership between Mosaic Manufacturing and Type A Machines brings real world answers to the challenges of multi-filament printing," said Chris Labelle, co-founder and COO of Mosaic Manufacturing. "We see extrusion as one of the most important aspects of 3D printing and admire the focus Type A Machines brings to creating robust, high-quality machines — including the exceptional G2 extruder — for the industry's most demanding market segments."
You can pre-order the Palette today through Type A Machines' website here. Discuss in the Palette forum at 3DPB.com.

Energy and power measurement
As energy costs increase taking control of usage, and troubleshooting problems that lead to higher costs is essential. Power analysers also help troubleshoot problems that can otherwise lead to expensive breakdowns and production downtime.
Safety rating for instruments (CAT II, III and IV)What is CAT safety ratings?
A concept that is important to understand about electrical safety, is the overvoltage installation classification. The standards define categories from levels 0 to IV often abbreviated as CAT 0, CAT II etc.
The breakdown of the power grid into categories, is based on the fact that dangerous high energy transients, such as lightning strikes, dampen as they travel through the network.
A higher CAT rating refers to an environment where higher voltage and transients with greater energy occur. This means that a multimeter that meets CAT III can withstand transients with significantly higher energy than one that meets CAT II.
Within each category, a higher rated voltage indicates that the instrument has a higher rated voltage and the instrument can withstand higher transients.
Process Calibration
Ensure your production processes are fully in control: source and measure process parameters and test hardware to ensure accuracy.

I was vaguely noting the energy waste of checking social media, thinking of Daniel Pink, when I remembered it isn't just the last day before Vacation, it's Tuesday.
So I stopped wondering what to wear to school today, since the Japanese writers are visiting. And I don't have to work on crazy hair day, because.
I found my writing desk in order with a new object. This week has been mostly about moving my mother from SF into my home. When I packed her old wood steamer trunk I found a Mission brand nylon typewriter ribbon box for Smith Corona models. What are the odds? Just what my paper weight of an old typewriter needs. Ink.
It isn't enough to want to write. It isn't enough to have some skill. What is needed is a sticky artistic energy that will override the meditative stupor of tea and nan, getting a good move in on Words with Friends, or wondering what to wear.
I have a writing assignment: I want to essay on why narrative. In pd I meet so much resistance, especially from middle school teachers. Educators have really bought into the "what's new" and the hype about Common Core that claims that THE writing for the 21st Century is argumentative. Okay, then I'll argue for narrative.
One presentation I did was "It's All Story." I think there's evidence for that.
I noted my admired Two Writing Teachers presented on my topic at NCTE. Very encouraging. My experience teaching writing workshop informs me of the power of narrative. So, over this holiday break, I'll put in some research and writing time.
With thanks that I don't have to work in a box store on a holiday. With bittersweet thoughts for my fellow humans who won't have a rest over Thanksgiving.

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Shows commercial adverts
- Connects to the internet without permission
When you want to save money on your online purchases, you should stop spending instead of relying on unfamiliar applications. ThisCounts comes across as a useful tool that can provide with various shopping discounts and coupon offers. However, we have seen too many similar adware programs to believe it. Rather than helping you save money, ThisCounts will inadvertently expose you to corrupted content that might lead to serious computer security problems. Therefore, to prevent this from happening, you have to remove ThisCounts from your computer immediately. Do take your system security seriously.
Some users may think that ThisCounts cannot do any harm because it simply displays commercial advertisements. Have you ever thought HOW it displays those ads? ThisCounts tracks your web browsing habits to figure out what you usually search for online. When an adware program figures it out, it generates relevant content for commercial advertisements. If you have recently searched for iPhone or iPad, do not be surprised to see tons of ads that offer you to purchase one at a lower price. However, even if these ads do seem believable enough, you should NEVER click them.
ThisCounts is very similar to CouponMeApp adware application. What is more, some of its files might be detected as constituent parts of websearch.com hijacker or FindWide adware application. There is nothing reliable about ThisCounts, and you should get rid of it ASAP.
This program is slightly different from standard adware applications, because its direct download link is available at thiscountssoft.info. Generally, adware homepages are nothing but empty shells, but in this case thiscountssoft.info is one of ThisCounts distributors. Needless to say, that the official homepage is not the only place where you can download this program. Such coupon apps often travel bundled with similar programs, so if you do not remember installing ThisCounts on your PC, chances are that it was installed automatically with a list of other unwanted applications.
Any security-minded user knows that the adware applications are no good. ThisCounts may not try to infect you with malware directly, but you cannot rule out the possibility of the malevolent exploitation. After all, ThisCounts uses third-party advertising networks to create ad content, so it cannot be liable for potentially malicious third-party content.
You are strongly recommended to remove ThisCounts from the PC along with other unwanted adware applications. If you do not know how many unwanted programs you have on board, scan the system with SpyHunter free scanner. An extensive list of unwanted programs will be generated at once, and you will be able to get rid of them all in no time.
After manual removal, be sure to acquire a licensed antispyware program that will safeguard your PC against any potential threats. Also, if you have any further questions, you can contact us by leaving a comment in the box below this description.

The wonderful K.A. Mitchell has provided us with an exclusive excerpt and a peek into Zeb's psyche. Be sure to pick up Bad Influence, now available.
Title: Bad Influence (Bad in Baltimore #4)

Genre(s): Contemporary
Page Count: 295
Reviewed by: Kristin and Tosha
Can a future be built from pieces of a broken past?
Jordan Barnett is dead, killed as much by the rejection of his first love at his moment of greatest need as by his ultraconservative parents' effort to deprogram the gay away.
In his place is Silver, a streetwise survivor who's spent the last three years becoming untouchable… except to those willing to pay for the privilege. He's determined not to let betrayal find him again, and that means never forging bonds that can be broken.
No matter how hard he tried, Zebadiah Harris couldn't outrun his guilt over abandoning his young lover—not even by leaving the country. Now, almost the moment he sets foot back in Baltimore, he discovers Silver on a street corner in a bad part of town. His effort to make amends lands them both in jail, where Silver plans a seductive form of vengeance. But using a heart as a stepping-stone is no way to move past the one man he can't forgive, let alone forget….

Thank you so much for letting me come by to talk about Bad Influence. I am a sucker for second chance romances, but when I started this one, I wasn't sure these guys would make it to getting their second chance. The backstory they gave me was pretty loaded. But Silver is one determined character and even though he has plenty of reasons to be gun-shy, he still loves Zeb.
If you've looked at the blurb or my infographic, you can tell that Silver has a whole baggage carousel full of issues, not the least of which is the history he has with Zeb. But when Silver finds himself stranded in the middle of the night, he knows that this time, Zeb will be there for him, even if they still have a lot to work out.
Exclusive Excerpt
Silver's ass had barely landed in the Pontiac's passenger seat when Zeb blurted, "You're bleeding. What happened?"
Silver looked down at his elbow. It had slowed to a seep, but yeah, it was a mess. "It's fine. Scraped it on a wall." The trip north a couple of blocks had been uneventful. Silver had moved fast and kept his head down, and he'd found an open minimart in a strip mall.
"There's a first aid kit under your seat."
Silver reached down and found the plastic bin. Homemade and so loaded Silver noticed a suture kit and tourniquet. Zeb hadn't been so Boy Scout prepared back then. He'd been all OCD about keeping track of things in his little notebook, but this had-his-shit-together-in-a-crisis Zeb was a guy Silver had never seen before. Maybe living in Haiti had a bigger effect than he'd thought.
"Thanks." He gritted his teeth and used an alcohol pad to clean the spot. It wasn't too bad—until it was—and he hissed.
"We could stop and get some water."
"Not if you don't leave this parking lot."
"Seat belt."
Silver wanted his answer to sting with sarcasm, but Zeb's response was so him, a laugh slipped out. "You'll break the law to talk on the phone, but I have to wear a seat belt?"
"I trust my driving. Not everyone else's."
Silver pulled the belt across with a sigh so loud he almost missed Zeb's soft "I want you safe."
There was that word again. How did everyone come to believe they knew what was best for Silver?
"We're still sitting here," he pointed out.
"Where am I taking you?"
Was Zeb asking if Silver wanted to come home with him? He had to squeeze the pad hard against his scrape so the pain would shut away the idea of climbing into Zeb's bed. The most horrible part was realizing the longing wasn't centered in Silver's dick, but higher. Something hollow right below his ribs, like the constant gnaw of hunger he remembered from when he'd been living on the street. The thought of being pressed up close to Zeb's skin, the familiar arms around him, the brush of hair against his neck. The idea hurt worse than when Silver had smelled fried food back then. Because there was no way he was ever going to be able to feed this rumble of want.
"Oh. Back to Quinn's. I'm still staying with them."
Zeb nodded and tapped on the screen stuck to the dashboard.
Despite the lack of a question, Silver found himself saying, "I just went out. It wasn't—I didn't run away or anything." He almost bit his lip to avoid the rush of explanations. I had permission. He didn't need permission. He was an adult—had been on his own since seventeen. "I could have called Quinn, but he's already done so much."
"He's a good person. He and Eli both."
Silver heard an unspoken comparison in Zeb's words. As if the persons in this car didn't measure up. Did Zeb expect Silver to gush gratitude about the ride so Zeb could feel like a good person?
"I met Eli a few years ago. He's really loyal to his friends."
"I noticed." Zeb's dry humor reminded Silver of Jamie's description of the courthouse lobby.
Silver found himself smiling. "I wouldn't fuck with him. He fights dirty."
"Never tell me the odds." Zeb's Han Solo quote made the emptiness ache again, this time for the taste of popcorn and the DVD of The Empire Strikes Back playing on Zeb's TV, Silver's head in Zeb's lap, Zeb's fingers playing with Silver's hair.
"He might be the size of an Ewok, but he's more like Boba Fett."
"I'll keep it in mind."
Which reminded Silver of Eli's dogged bounty hunter intensity. He'd be sure to ask if Silver had said something about tutoring him for the GED.
Silver rubbed his hands along his jeans. "My lawyer"—the word felt weird in his mouth, especially since the guy was Gavin's lawyer—"said I should be able to show the judge I'm working to get a GED."
"You didn't finish school?" Zeb made it sound like an unheard-of crime.
The tone snapped something inside Silver, and it came pouring out. "For fuck's sake, don't you listen? Ever? After you shut the door in my face, I got what cash I could from friends, which you obviously weren't, and took a bus to Baltimore. There wasn't exactly time while I was homeless to do The Littlest Hustler Goes to School. Though it might have been the title of one of the pornos I did. I can't keep track of them all." He clenched his teeth together to stop the words. He hadn't meant to tell Zeb about it like that. If at all. It didn't fit the plan. But being around Zeb made it too easy to forget there'd ever been a need to lock himself away.
Silver had lost control of more than his voice. He realized he'd shut his eyes, zeroing in on how much it had hurt. The door slammed in his face. He felt pressure on his body. Imagining himself watching the movie again, he looked down and saw the two of them in a Burger King parking lot, and Silver had wrapped his arms around himself as he curled up against the car door.
When Zeb spoke, it forced away the detachment, dragged Silver back into his body, but the close-up view didn't help Silver figure out the expression on Zeb's face as he said, "I didn't know. I'm sorry."
At least he sounded like he meant it this time, voice quiet and measured. Then a sharper, "God, I'm so sorry."
Silver didn't know whether he should be relieved or disappointed Zeb didn't make any effort to reach over, offer comfort or apology in a touch.
"Drive. Before we end up in jail again."
They merged onto the interstate, and the heavy silence in the car, the rush of sound, and hum of tires made Silver suddenly so tired he shivered with it.
Zeb cranked off the AC. The loss of cold air made Silver sleepier. He could just let it go. Take the loser adult-ed classes. Never see Zeb again. It would be easier. But why should anything be easy on Zeb?
It wasn't until they'd turned onto Quinn's street that Silver threw it all out there. "I said the stuff about the GED because I needed to review the stuff before the test and thought you could help with the math part."
"You want me to help you study for it?"
It had been exactly what the fuck Silver had just said. He nodded.
Under the streetlight, Zeb's smile was soft and real. "Thank you. I'd like to help. Very much."

Want to get rough in bed? Spanking might be one of the best places to start, according to recent survey by sex toy company .
After polling more than 4,500 people about their favorite kinks, they found that 70 percent of women and 61 percent of men are turned on by spanking during sex.
She might be into it because she just likes the way it make her feel both physically and emotionally, Carol Queen, Ph.D., author of Exhibitionism for the Shy explained to us in the past.
Spanking can stimulate nerve endings in her vagina—you just have to make contact with the right spot. "You want to be over flesh or muscle, not bone," Queen explains. "Aim for the lower part of the butt; that engages more nerves and makes it more enjoyable."
And if you're up for it, letting her spank you might feel just as good. (It's not clear whether men are turned on by being spanked or doing the spanking. We're going to go ahead and assume both are very possible.)
About 60 percent of both men and women also reported that they've tried BDSM with a partner, the survey found. Nearly 60 percent of women also said they regularly engage in nipple play, bondage, biting, and blindfolds.
If you and your partner have both expressed interest in getting a little rough between the sheets, ease into it to figure out what you both like. Here are four great ways to try rough sex tonight. Combine those tips with the techniques you'll find in How to Pleasure a Woman—the ultimate sex manual from Men's Health—and we guarantee you'll blow her mind.

Donors to the UK's Conservative Party say a 'no deal' Brexit would be better for Britain, as it would help avoid the nation's further slide to the political right – as a 'bad deal' would greatly benefit the most avid Eurosceptics, capitalising on the rampant public resentment such a deal would cause.
Kristian Rouz – Prominent Tory donors have notified Prime Minister Theresa May they believe a 'hard Brexit' scenario would be better for Britain than any type of unfair or unfavorable deal. The European Union's top policymakers say Brexit is not their main priority as they are facing multiple internal challenges, thus easing the UK's departure from the bloc.
READ MORE: No Deal, Good Deal? Brussels Reportedly Bracing for Collapse of Brexit Talks
Subsequently, the UK might leave the EU in a 'no-deal' scenario without much resistance or major objections from Brussels, possibly not even paying the EU's 'divorce bill' in full.
UK's Tory donors say an unsatisfactory deal could leave Britain divided over the Brexit decision for another generation, as British taxpayers would have to carry the burden of the 'divorce bill'. The so-called bill is the EU's demand that the UK pays between £20 bln and £60 bln upon exiting the bloc, to cover the economic benefits Britain had allegedly enjoyed while in the EU.
These, apparently, include rampant mass migration, wage stagnation, and the UK's unfavorable stance in foreign trade, which have given advantages to the continent and Canary Wharf financial firms, but hardly helped the UK's non-financial sector. Hence the push for 'hard Brexit' within the UK, replicating US President Donald Trump's course towards greater economic isolationism and trade protectionism.
Tories say the previous PM David Cameron failed to negotiate more favorable conditions for the UK's membership of the EU, thus prompting the 'Leave' vote last June. Conservative MPs say a 'bad deal' in the current divorce process could result in widespread public resentment and could lead to PM May's departure, bringing more radical isolationist tendencies to the surface.
For example, Jacob Rees-Mogg could greatly benefit – politically – from a 'bad deal,' and moderate Conservatives are wary of his recent ascent to prominence.
Most of the UK's Eurosceptics, including Nigel Farage's UKIP and Rees-Mogg himself, favor a 'no deal scenario,' despite the fact that it would be a 'bad deal' scenario that could bring them to the top of British political life.
The EU, for its part, is coming to grips realizing such a prospect would harm its own interests. While PM May's cabinet could at least give them something, Brexit hardliners would rather just quit the EU altogether.
"It seems to me that the threat of no deal is the way to get the EU to negotiate properly," Peter Bone, a Eurosceptic MP, said.
The European Parliament is preparing for its 2019 elections, and its top policymakers seek to shift focus away from Brexit and address acuter domestic issues, such as the destructive effects of mass migration, the bloc's administrative fragility, and the challenges and discrepancies in its economic growth.
"Even before the European elections, an important roadmap with key decisions is underway," Maria Joao Rodrigues of the Portuguese Socialist European Parliament coalition said. "While the Brexit negotiations are taking place, the EU is moving ahead with its roadmap and these two things will go in parallel. This means we'll have a big-bang moment in 2019."
In this light, the UK's Tories say quitting the EU without a deal would release Britain from its unnecessary and burdensome obligations to the bloc, while opening up new opportunities, primarily in the sphere of international trade.
"The EU is stonewalling on the divorce bill, increasing intolerably the political pressure on (PM) May, and we still have no idea whether the trade deal will be beneficial to the UK, or whether they will kick us further in the teeth when we are down," Jeremy Hosking, a financier who's donated generously to 'Vote Leave' and Conservative Party said.
While EU negotiators have repeatedly blamed the UK for lack of progress in Brexit talks, bilateral trade dialogue will likely be delayed by several months. The current deadline in the Brexit negotiations in December, and if no preliminary agreement or mutual understanding is reached by then, a 'no deal' scenario will become the likeliest probability.
The UK negotiators have previously insisted that the sides should agree on a future trade framework rather than the 'divorce bill', as the EU insists – however, now Britain is not sure it needs a trade deal whatsoever.

Today is my (Kimberly) Father's birthday and he is turning 60 years young! Time flies, but I couldn't feel any more blessed than I am. For 20 years, he has been my friend, father, and outstanding example of a faithful, selfless and loving husband. I knew since I was little that I wanted a husband that had qualities like my father. And now I'm blessed beyond words; God has given me a husband that is respectful, loving, and generous.
For his gift, I painted, sealed and antiqued a box full of small scrapbook papers that had "Reasons why I love you" written on them. On the outside, was my favorite photo os us dancing at our wedding. He's the best father I could ever imagine having and I could never repay him or thank him enough for everything he has done for me.
Dad, if you're reading this, I love you so much and I can't wait to give you grandkids to spoil and take photos of! Happy Birthday to the best!

I have a plan for the next two months
Posted in a new adventure begins, health, tagged Air Force Girl, Army Girl, Fitness Blender, Gpa, Jen Sincero, Navy Girl, seth godin, TRUE, yoga with Adriene, Zig Ziglar on January 8, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Happy Monday! January 8th already. I hope your year has started the way you want it to.
As most of you know I am a yoga junkie. Love it, love the way it makes me feel when I am doing it and how accomplished I feel when I am done. Yoga alone can be a great workout and when paired with other exercise . . . 💗
Yoga with Adriene has a new 30 day program (completely free) called TRUE. I have not properly worked out in nearly a month so a 30 day program will be just the thing to get me back in the swing. I did Day 1- Motive (24:56) today. This is a great starting video. Moves all the muscles without any fancy moves, no pigeons, no crows, no other animals. Just simple moves that are easy to follow.
I paired this with 30 minutes on the exercise bike. I kept it slow except for 4 1/2 minutes of 1 minute sprints sprinkled through out the ride (11.5 miles). The last 30 second sprint kinda made me want to hurl but that is good because we need to push ourselves a little.
Once this 30 days is done my intention is to get the new Fitness Blender's 4 week Burn series (only $9.99) and yours forever.
I am in no way affiliated with either of these sites on YouTube. I just love them. I am going to document my attempts at getting healthy, getting a new job, and generally adjusting my attitude.
Oh I have also been listening to some books on tape. I travel a lot because Gpa, lives 3 hours away, Army Girl and fam live 4 hours away, In-laws live 5.5 hours away, Air Force Girl and fam live 8 hours away, and Navy Girl and fam live a whopping 14 hours away. So needless to say I have lots of time for listening. So I decided to make productive use of the time.
So far I have listened to Born to Win by Zig Ziglar, Meatball Sundae – Is Your Marketing Out of Sync? by Seth Godin and You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero. I have listened to the last one 3 times in the last week. I will listen to it a few more times before it is returned to the library. I will be listening to a new one of these a couple times a month. I will keep you posted on which ones I find helpful.
So now I have a plan for the next two months or so. What is your plan for the new year? Have you started?

SSCB petitions SC over Lodha panel report removing voting rights
The defence ministry has petitioned the Supreme Court against the Justice RM Lodha committee's recommendation to overhaul the BCCI, saying the panel has demoted its sports board from a full-fledged voting member to an associate member without voting rights.cricket Updated: Mar 17, 2016 11:11 IST
The defence ministry has petitioned the Supreme Court against the Justice RM Lodha committee's recommendation to overhaul the BCCI, saying the panel has demoted its sports board from a full-fledged voting member to an associate member without voting rights.
Asking the top court to hear it before giving any final decision on objections by the BCCI and other state cricket bodies to the committee's report, the Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) said the Lodha panel's conclusions do not reflect the reasons for arriving at the decision. The SSCB, however, clarified that it was not against the court's efforts to improve the sport's governance, but its role in the BCCI should not be reduced to that of a non-participating member.
SSCB is a founding member of the BCCI as well as the Indian Olympic Association. It is an apex armed forces sports body that administers, promotes and controls sports for the defence services personnel. According to its application before the top court, no one has been appointed twice as SSCB president or secretary.
It was an important full member of BCCI's North Zone and has a say in the cricketing affairs of services players within the BCCI set-up, SSCB told the Supreme Court. As a full-fledged BCCI member, the SSCB stated, Justice Lodha should have given it a hearing. "The applicant was neither consulted nor questioned," read the application.
"Committee (Justice Lodha) has demoted existing full members and their vested rights of membership have been adversely affected without following the principles of natural justice," the SSCB contended. It has argued that allowing voting rights does not give advantage to any particular state or BCCI office-bearer. Full voting rights in a sports body was important for the SSCB for its effective participation in the administration of such organisations, it added.
The application is likely to come up for hearing on Friday. The Supreme Court had on March 3 made it clear that it shall not refer the matter back to the Justice Lodha panel, after BCCI and the state bodies asked for a fresh hearing. "We will not allow you to prolong or filibuster the recommendations," the bench had said.

In the northern hemisphere, few would think a late February day would have anything in common with "beach weather," and on the day we visited Russian Gulch Beach, the inhospitable ocean certainly bore that out. High waves pounded the rocks and shore, warning visitors away from approaching the surf. In fact, the rip current at this beach makes it unsafe for swimming year-round.
But sunshine, few clouds in the sky, temperatures in the low 70s and a light breeze made for a wonderful walk on the beach. We enjoyed a perfect warm winter day at the ocean.
Not to be confused with a larger state park by the same name farther north in Mendocino, this Russian Gulch lies about 2 miles north of the town of Jenner along Highway 1. This hidden-away spot offers a short, peaceful stroll to the beach and stark, dramatic scenery at the beach itself. It's a perfect place for "beach exploring," as it's described here.
Russian Gulch is easy to find, and it's not a long drive from the house—just about 12 miles (a roughly 20-minute drive) from Monte Rio.
As we drove north on Highway 1, away from Jenner, we easily spotted the access point for the beach—it's located near the bottom of hill, at a wide, sweeping turn in the road. Parking areas, right off both shoulders of Highway 1, clearly delineate the area.
The main parking lot is a spacious dirt and gravel turnout that will probably accommodate about ten cars; it's just adjacent to the trailhead. A smaller, narrow dirt patch across the highway will probably hold an additional four or five more cars. Parking on this sunny, late February day didn't prove difficult to find, though it seems likely to be scarcer during the summer months.
From trailhead to beach, an easy, flat trail meanders about a quarter of a mile through a patch of mossy, gnarled trees that grow at extreme angles, slowly bent over the years to accommodate the wind.
Since it's still the rainy season and an El Niño year, we encountered not only a few muddy spots on the trail, but also marshy areas with ferns, and even a small bog off to one side of the path—something we haven't seen in the past couple years of drought.
The trail follows Russian Gulch Creek at least part of the way. We could glimpse the creek from some spots along the trail.
The trail leads to a rocky spit of land cut off from the main beach by the wide, slow-moving Russian Gulch Creek.
In order to reach the main beach, we had to wade across the creek. It's a bit too far across and potentially too deep in the middle, so we decided that the best way to ford the creek was make two crossings at narrower points, wading first from the bank where the trail lets out, to a large rock-covered sandbar in the middle of the creek, then another crossing from there over to the beach proper.
This is where what had been a peaceful afternoon walk gave way to some shrieking and slightly frantic scrambling across the creek. We took off our shoes and socks and waded into creek water that shocked with a deep chill. The rocky creekbed proved somewhat slippery, prolonging the walk through the icy water as we tried to keep our balance.
Rather than sand, this beach is made up of smooth stones of all sizes, and there are were a couple small patches littered with sharp shards of broken mussel shells best avoided by bare feet. We found ourselves wishing for the Tevas, which, the day before, it had seemed too optimistic to pack. Water shoes aren't strictly necessary here—we saw no litter or broken glass—but having something on our feet would have made the walk around the beach more comfortable.
Arriving at the main part of the beach, we could hear the waves, but couldn't see them, due to a large, gently sloping hill in the center of the main part of the beach, almost like a fortification between the ocean and the land. This rise in the middle of the beach obscured all but the tallest waves until we neared the crest of the hill.
We crossed the top of the hill, where the ocean had washed away the larger rocks and pebbles and smoothed the beach into an expanse of coarse sand.
The scenery quickly distracted us from the brief chilly creek walk and the pebbly surface of the beach. Waves pounded the rocky edges of the cove, kicking up so much spray that they often left a lingering mist in their wake. Little waterfalls appeared, running off the rocks after each wave broke.
The largest waves crashed on the shore but then kept spreading across the beach, reaching long fingers up the hill in the middle, and then back down the other side. As most of the water seeped into the gravel, the leading edge of the wave left behind its outline, traced by long lines of sea foam stranded many feet from where most of the waves were breaking.
We walked to one end of the beach, where Russian Gulch Creek flows into the sea. And we saw that the bigger waves were up to their usual tricks, taking off into places across the beach where waves don't usually go—in this case, wrapping around a large rock near the shore.
We had considered bringing a picnic to the beach, but thought it might be too windy or cold. But we'd pack a picnic for a return visit some time, because Russian Gulch looks like a great place for it—especially suited for a beach picnic because there's no fine sand to blow into the food. Camp chairs or a blanket would offer a more comfortable spot to sit.
Walking back to the car, we noticed many wildflowers growing along the trail, along with moss and ferns, and even a mossy log festooned with mushrooms. It made this day trip feel like we were seeing the best of both worlds: a visit to the ocean and with two quick side trips through peaceful woodlands.
Whether for beach exploring or a picnic—maybe both?—we're looking forward to our next trip to Russian Gulch.
To visit:
Russian Gulch, about 2 miles north of Jenner, along Highway 1
-Limited parking in turnout areas along the Highway
-Free admission
-You might want to pack: sunscreen; a light jacket or hoodie (even in the summer); water shoes; camp chairs or a blanket; a picnic; a frisbee
-This beach is unsafe for swimming, even in warmer months. It's great for walks, picnics and exploring.

Loved this. I not only loved the wear but also the container.
Tampa, FL
Lightweight product, definitely works well with setting spray to keep make up in place all day!
Denver, CO
This powder feels good on the face and is easy to apply, however it doesn't seem to help with creasing, leaves me feeling a bit dry, and the absolute worst part is that it leaves a strange yellow color behind! It doesn't seem to be transparent at all. To be fair, I'm extremely pale skinned, but still! I wasn't sure if it was this powder that left the yellow tinge under my eyes, so I tried it without concealer and with a different foundation and it looked the same sickly yellow color. This powder might be nice for some extra coverage or a color corrector, but as a "translucent powder" it does not do the job.
Philadelphia, PA
I like this powder. I works well on my skin.
Macclenny, Fl
This is a must have for me. I've tried so many setting powders both any powders that have been on market and any that have recently came out. This formula for me has always worked the best. I have always found that I come back to this powered. It's a velvety and fine it's just a great.

I absolutely love this powder! It gives a flawless finish. This is my third time to purchase.

David Chester
published: 12 Sep 2014 in Q&A
With Gerry Harvey calling in his debt Magic Millions will hold a massive unreserved sale of the holdings of Nathan Tinkler's Patinack Farm operation.
The sale, which is said to be the largest private dispersal in Australian history, will take place on both sides of the annual Gold Coast Magic Millions Two-Year-Olds-in-Training Sale.
With the offering including some exceptional broodmares – Allez Wonder in foal to All Too Hard, for instance – four stallions and full or half relations to the likes of Makybe Diva, Commands, Serious Speed and Onemorenomore the sale will attract buyers from throughout the thoroughbred world.
That led to Stallions questioning Magic Millions sales director David Chester about sale dates, the feature attractions, the likely buying bench and other matters.
Q.: What dates have been sent for the sale
A.: We will be commencing the sale on Sunday, September 28, with all the broodmares and race fillies from Patinack Farm going into the ring. The reason for this is that we have so many top quality race mares and race fillies that the Sunday will give the sale a good start. That's why we have put that section in front of the Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale, on September 30. On Monday, September 29, at 9 a.m. we will have our breeze ups for horses that haven't been breezed-up earlier or are breezing up again. Then at 1 p.m. on the Monday we will be selling 120 Patinack yearlings. These are yearlings Nathan was going to either keep or sell at the major sales so they are the cream of the crop. Then follows the Two-Year-Old Horses-in-Training on the Tuesday and at the end of that 80 Patinack two-year-olds, which have been broken in will be sold. Then on Wednesday, October 1, we have the sale of the racehorses from Patinack, Darley, Heinrich Bloodstock and a lot of other vendors.
Q.: There are some brilliant attractions amongst the Patinack broodmares
A.: There certainly are. We will be selling Group 1 winners Allez Wonder, Bel Mer, Devil Moon, Heavenly Glow, La Montagna, Linky Dink, Serious Speed and Small Minds. Other young stakes winning mares include No Evidence Needed, Olonana, Pretty Pins, Affable, Marquardt, Peron and Wonderful Lass.
Q.: There are also some highly related lots
A.: Once again that's right. The yearlings include half relations to Downhill Racer, Longport, Trusting, Sookie and See The World as well as youngsters from stakes winners including Allez Wonder, Bel Mer, Belle Bizarre, Devil Moon, La Montagna, Linky Dink, Serious Speed, Sun Classique and Victory Vein. There is also an outstanding line-up of two-and-three-year-olds with quality pedigrees.
Q.: What will be the situation regarding the stallions
A.: Lope de Vega will probably be put up for tender because Nathan owns 33 per cent of the horse and the rest is owned in the northern hemisphere. The major shareholders have the first right of refusal. Monaco Consul, Murtajilll and Trusting are available for private sale. If someone makes and offer which is acceptable to Patinack and Gerry they will be sold before the sale. Otherwise they will go up for auction. There has been a lot of interest in the stallions already and I would say there is a good chance they will be sold before auction.
Q.: Will the properties be sold individually
A.: They will all be sold individually. We are just in the process of appointing property agents but they will be auctioned, like everything else, for unreserved sale at the end of October unless sold in the meantime.
Q.: Where will you be promoting the sale
A.: This sale pretty much promotes itself. There are world class horses being sold and they will appeal particularly to Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea. We have a group of 30 coming down from Korea and there are a couple of groups coming from China. We have always had a regular buying bench for the Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale but there are more people coming down from Asia than we've previously had.
Q.: Will you be making an Asian tour
A.: We are sponsoring a race in Malaysia and I will be there for that before going on to Macau, Hong Kong, Korea and to China.
Q.: You are obviously expecting buyers from all over Australia and New Zealand.
A.: Sure, sure. The Patinack Farm horses have had a lot success on the racetrack and that will obviously help stir up interest. Also people appreciate that it is a genuine unreserved sale with everything being sold.
Q.: Is MM expecting interest from England, France, Ireland and the United States
A.: Our managing director Vin Cox has recently come back from England and France and he is going to the U.S. but as I've said it is really a self-promoting sale.
Q.: The sale is adding to another successful calendar year for Magic Millions
A.: We, of course, are starting a new financial year but last year, to June 30, was the third best year on record for Magic Millions since it began in 1986. That's impressive when you consider that the economy is not as bright as it has been . . . it's a pretty impressive record. Added to that our graduates, especially from the Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale, have put together an incredible record.
Q.: How is everything shaping up for the 2015 Gold Coast yearling sales
A.: Our bloodstock staff have been out on the road and on the back of a very strong sale last January we are receiving really good support again. On that basis we are looking forward to a typical Magic Millions catalogue offering good types of athletic-looking yearlings, who are a chance of winning our two-year-old race in 2016. That seems to be the basis of what vendors are thinking about when they enter horses for the sale.
Q.: When will final selections be made
A.: We always look towards having the catalogues out just after the Melbourne Cup so final selections will be made by the end of October.

Attorney General Andy Beshear today announced that the investigation and testimony by his cyber crimes unit led to the conviction of one of 15 men behind a national child pornography ring.
William Staples, 57, of Harrodsburg, was found guilty in federal court Jan. 25 of conspiracy to advertise child pornography; conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography; and aiding and abetting the receipt and distribution of child pornography.
The conviction stems from a seven-day trial in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania of two of the remaining defendants who had not entered guilty pleas.
The Jan. 25 sentencing of Staples and the other man charged, 34-year-old Lemon Grove, California student Dylan Heatherly, has not been scheduled, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
According to AG cyber investigator Tom Bell, trial evidence proved that Staples, Heatherly and 13 co-conspirators located in different states created a secure space on a video conferencing website to live-stream pre-recorded child pornography and to minimize any evidence of the pornography on their devices.
The timeframe for these actions was April 11, 2014, through May 11, 2016, Bell said.
Bell said law enforcement working the case uncovered that in one instance the men watched and encouraged the live sexual abuse of a six-year-old child via video conference. Officials immediately rescued the child in Pennsylvania and arrested one of the co-conspirators who was abusing the child, Bell said.
Beshear said Bell's investigation and testimony in the case is one of many examples of how AG cyber forensic detectives not only support the office's needs, but the needs of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
"This case is utterly horrifying and without the work of Tom Bell, our cyber crimes unit and the many local, state and federal law enforcement agencies who worked this case, more children could have been sexually abused by this group of men," Beshear said. "I want to thank Tom and our entire cyber crimes unit for their work to keep children safe in Kentucky, nationally and internationally."
In November, Beshear's office announced the arrest of a Louisville man after a three-month investigation began from a tip by Athens, Greece Police, through Interpol, to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) regarding alleged sexually explicit conversations and images being requested from and sent to a minor overseas by the Louisville resident.
Beshear said that Kentuckians have a moral and legal duty to report any instance of child abuse to local law enforcement or to Kentucky's Child Abuse hotline at 877-597-2331 or 877-KYSAFE1.

Lokrum was my one of my favourite islands that we visited during our time in Croatia. It's located just a stone's throw away from Dubrovnik that you can even spot it from the city walls. This beautiful island is also really easy and cheap (40 kuna) to get to, with ferries leaving every half hour, seven days a week in high season, making it an ideal last minute or spontaneous day trip from Dubrovnik. Simply head to the Old Town Port where you can purchase your ticket on the spot and in a short 15-minutes you'll have arrived in Lokrum.
Alternatively you can also rent a kayak at the Old Town and make your own way there. Organised kayak tours are also available that make a stop at the island for a few hours.
The earliest records show that Lokrum was inhabited since prehistoric times by monks, with the founding of the Benedictine monastery which ruins have been preserved and can still be visited today. In fact, the entire island of Lokrum was owned by the monastery, while the abbey also served as a hospital. This is until the infamous curse…
The Curse of Lokrum
The story of Lokrum's curse is two centuries old and dates back to when the island was originally home to monks. The monks lived peacefully in solitude in the Benedictine monastery for 600 years, until two centuries ago when local authorities decided to move them to a nearby island so that they could sell Lokrum to the Austrian emperor's family as a summer residence.
As we can imagine the monks weren't happy with this decision and legend says that on their last night they walked three times around the island, with candles held upside down in their hands, chanting latin prayers to conduct a curse on every future owner and seller of Lokrum.
In turn the emperor's family vacated the island as their summer residence for almost 100 years. However in that time a lot of tragical deaths happened in their family including the assassination of his wife, execution of his brother and suicide of his son. After World War One Lokrum island was returned to the town and later split into three properties and sold to families.
Peacocks and Bunnies
Legend aside, in the mid-1800s during the residence of Maximilian of Habsburg (the Austrian emperor's brother), Maximilian brought over some peacocks from the Canary Islands – which of course over the years have taken over Lokrum island.
These magnificent birds really add character to the island and are so interesting to observe. There's also countless bunnies around. It was such a crazy sight as they'll be an open green space filled with tourists, children and sunbathers, then around seven bunnies and even more peacocks in-between them all.
Tip: Bring bread and carrots.
Lunch and Snacks
After spotting the large armchairs and ocean view, we knew we just had to stop for lunch at Rajski Vrt. The restaurant offers a mediterranean/international menu with dishes including pizza, beef, salads and sandwiches to choose from. Whilst tucking into lunch we even made friends with Peter (I named the bunny). He was honestly the most adorable thing and at one point even had his paws on my plate (which I know may sound disgusting to some people, but I love animals and I didn't exactly stop him).
If you've brought a packed lunch with you and are only looking for refreshments then head to Snack Bar Lacroma. My boyfriend and I became slightly obsessed with banana splits after this, but luckily (and randomly), they're a popular dessert all over Croatia.
Where to Swim
There's a fair bit of walking and wandering to be done on Lokrum, however if you're more so looking for a bit of R&R then the island's got you covered for that too. Opt for a swim at Mrtvo More (the Dead Sea), a 10m deep salt water lake, popular among visitors for it's calm waters and peaceful forested scenery.
Alternatively take a dip in the Adriatic sea at either the main beach (pictured above) that's rather rocky, but equally beautiful and peaceful, or HKK beach. I have just realised though that this second choice is actually a nudist beach… but we were there for a while and I didn't notice any bits or bobs. What I liked about nude beach though was that it had steps which entered directly into the deep part of the ocean.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Less than a week before he was to take top Vatican officials and head out of town for a weeklong Lenten retreat, Pope Francis said retreats should renew the faith of participants, transforming their ministry and their relationships with others.
"Those who live a retreat in an authentic way," the pope said, "experience the attraction and fascination of God and return renewed and transfigured in their daily lives, their ministry and their relationships."
The pope met March 3 with an Italian federation of spiritual directors and those who run retreat houses throughout the country, offering Christians "space and time to listen intensely to the word of God in silence and in prayer."
Pope Francis and senior members of the Roman Curia were scheduled to hold their annual Lenten retreat March 9-14. The Vatican had announced in October that rather than holding the daily Lenten prayers and meditations in the Vatican, Pope Francis had decided the retreat would be at the Pauline Fathers' retreat and conference center in Ariccia, a town about 20 miles southeast of Rome.
The Vatican press office distributed copies of the 20th annotation from the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. The note encourages people making a retreat to leave their home, their office and "all earthly care" to concentrate only on their prayer and meditation.
"The more our soul finds itself alone and isolated, the more apt it makes itself to approach and to reach its Creator and Lord, and the more it so approaches him, the more it disposes itself to receive graces and gifts from his divine and sovereign goodness," the annotation says.
In an interview published March 5 by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Pope Francis said he thought it was necessary to give the annual retreat more importance. "Everyone has a right to spend five days in silence and meditation," he said, but when the retreat was at the Vatican, many of the participants would listen to the talks, then go back to their offices and work.
The Prefecture of the Pontifical Household published the retreat schedule March 5, including the fact that those making the retreat — presumably including the pope — would leave the Vatican at 4 p.m. March 9 and travel to Ariccia by bus.
The first evening, the schedule calls for vespers; the first meditation by Msgr. Angelo De Donatis, a popular spiritual director and pastor of a parish in the center of Rome; eucharistic adoration; and dinner. Msgr. De Donatis' theme is "The purification of the heart."
From March 10 to 13, the pope and his top aides would begin their day with Mass, breakfast and a meditation by Msgr. De Donatis. After lunch at 12:30, the program leaves the retreat participants with free time until another meditation at 4 p.m., followed by vespers, adoration and dinner.
On the final day, March 14, the retreatants will celebrate Mass together, have breakfast, listen to the last meditation, and then leave for the Vatican at 10:30 a.m.

Comment 152 for bug 209520
|nukedathlonman (areginato-hotmail) wrote : Re: SMB error: Unable to mount location when server configured with security=share
Yes, it most certainly does effect Debian as well.
My desktop has this problem (Ubuntu Intrepid) and I cannot connect to my D-Link DNS-323 NAS unless I mount it manually from the command prompt. I did try all of the suggestions here. I can see the server, I can see the share, I get prompted for log in info, and then I see empty folder with the message about not being able to display contents of the share.
My Laptop, running Debian Etch worked fine until I did some apt-pinning to pull newer stuff in from Lenny & Sid. I ended up needing to pull Gnome in from Lenny. And now I'm having the same results - cant access the smb share unless mounted via command prompt.
For now, I'm watching and trying new things as they come up - until it's fixed I'm just using the ftp service on the DNS-323 (slightly inconvenient, but it works)

They have asked courts to define when materiality can be defeated by a showing that the government knew of an alleged problem but paid anyway, which Escobar called "strong evidence" of immateriality. The Ninth Circuit in United States ex. rel. Campie v. Gilead Sciences, Inc. issued an opinion on July 7 that might make it more difficult for defendants in that circuit to obtain dismissal at the pleadings stage based on this "government knowledge" challenge to materiality. No. 15-16380, 2017 WL 2884047 (9th Cir. July 7, 2017). Fortunately, Gilead's materiality ruling can likely be limited to the facts before the Court in that case, where the scope and timing of the government's knowledge was unclear on the pleadings.

Significance Statement
In view of increasing energy efficiency with the use of renewable energy, natural daylighting incorporated into buildings has been frequently highlighted due to an achievable reduction in economic cost and greenhouse gas emissions.
Various concentration systems are needed for natural lighting devices for the provision of increased collection of light energy for buildings and urban applications. One of such natural lighting devices is heliostats, which are commonly utilized in small urban applications.
An University of Cordoba researcher team led by Professors Manuel Torres Roldan, Rafael López Luque and Marta Varo Martínez published a research paper in journal, Solar Energy, which analyzes a previously designed heliostat system on its behavior and pointing errors when it's rotation axis is not oriented along the direction of the Earth's polar axis.
The authors' objective was to improve the previous designed polar heliostat system, based on Fahrenheit mechanism, which needs to be oriented towards the Earth's rotation axis. The improvement deals with the transformation of the polar heliostat mechanism to a generic one with the aid of an automatic control of its rotational speed, thereby eliminating any form of potential architectural restrictions of buildings as a result of the need of redirection in the polar heliostats.
The developed generic heliostat was capable of reflecting the sunbeams with high precision in the desired direction when its rotational speed was controlled automatically.
Considering a fixed focus F located at a height H in the zenithal direction of a terrestrial reference system and a horizontal square plane of side 6H, an average pointing error of 0.01 rad was discovered when the generic heliostat proposed is located at any point of the 36% of the horizontal surface while the average pointing error is below 0.02 rad when the heliostat is located at the 62% of the surface.
When analyzing the behavior of the proposed generic heliostat, it was discovered from graphs of different values of mapping coefficients and angular components that as the mechanism approaches that of the polar heliostat, a better performance was achieved.
The proposed generic heliostat system with Fahrenheit mechanisms and non-polar rotational axis directions can be optimally applied in urban environments due to the achieved admissible pointing errors for smaller urban applications.
Torres-Roldán, M., López-Luque, R., Varo-Martínez, M. Assessment of the Pointing Error of Heliostats with a Single Not Polar Rotation Axis for Urban Applications, Solar Energy 137 (2016) 281–289.

Early last year, he was another Gold Star father grieving the loss of his American son to the war in Iraq. Today, he himself is a star.
"My name is Khizr Khan. I am patriotic, American Muslim," he said to thundering applause Saturday night at a fundraiser for the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
Khan and his wife, Ghazala, became an enduring image of the 2016 presidential race after a powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention. The Virginia couple's son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, died in Iraq in 2004 while protecting his troops from a car bomb.
Khizr Khan, a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen, thrust a pocket version of the Constitution into the air at the convention and denounced then-Republican nominee Donald Trump's call for a Muslim ban. It was the beginning of a public feud with Trump that stretched past the convention and turned the Khans into political celebrities.
They're using their prominence as a platform to speak out against anti-Muslim bigotry around the country. Their travels took them to Dallas this weekend, where they helped raise more than $300,000 for the local CAIR chapter.
On Saturday, Khizr Khan recounted shameful chapters in U.S. history: the 1882 law that banned Chinese immigrants, the forced relocation of people of Japanese ancestry into internment camps in the 1940s, and the Jim Crow laws of the 20th century that made it necessary for blacks to have their own travel guides so they could navigate segregation while on the road.
Khan told fellow Muslims in the audience that he was sharing details about that painful past so they would be heartened.
"Even though you are the one that is facing the difficult time, other communities stand with you," he said.
Fundraiser guests included Dallas Democrats U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson and state Rep. Victoria Neave, along with several religious leaders. Pocket copies of the Constitution were placed on every chair of the banquet hall at the DoubleTree hotel in Dallas where the event took place.
The executive director of CAIR-DFW, Alia Salem, and others successfully pushed for the release of travelers from Muslim-majority countries who had been detained at DFW International Airport in late January.
"More lawyers are needed," Khizr Khan said. "More staff are needed."
The detentions followed President Trump's executive order that temporarily barred entry to citizens from seven countries and all refugees. Trump cast the measure as an effort to protect the U.S. from terrorists, but his original order and a revised version are being challenged in federal courts.
Khizr Khan made headlines again this month when it was announced that he had canceled an appearance in Toronto because his travel privileges were being reviewed. His claim triggered confusion and skepticism , given that Khan is a longtime U.S. citizen and wouldn't need a visa to enter Canada. He later told a Virginia radio station, WCVE-FM, that he didn't want to go through "the hassle of uncertain rules and capricious implementation."
Ghazala Khan, whom Trump criticized last year by implying that her husband hadn't allowed her to speak at the Democratic convention, also addressed the Dallas crowd on Saturday.
"This is our time to show our respect and our love," she said. "It doesn't matter the color of skin. Doesn't matter the shape of the face, or anything."
Her voice quivered as she described her last phone call with her son before he died. She said she told him to come back, to keep himself safe.
"He said, 'Mom, I have a responsibility for my men. ...I have to take care of them. Whatever I will do I will keep everybody safe.' So that's what he did."
