In some circumstances such as for debugging purposes, you might want to modify the GRUB boot command. The following procedure describes the steps to edit the GRUB boot command before performing the custom JumpStart installation.
To begin the installation, proceed with Step 1 through Step 5 in the preceding procedure, x86: To Perform an Installation or Upgrade With the Custom JumpStart Program and With GRUB.
If the system is off, turn the system on. If the system is on, reboot the system.
The GRUB menu is displayed. This menu provides a list of boot entries. The entry that is provided is the Solaris instance to be installed.
GNU GRUB version 0.95 (631K lower / 2095488K upper memory) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Solaris 10 10/08 image_directory | |Solaris Serial Console ttya | |Solaris Serial Console ttyb (lx50, v60x and v68) | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Use the ^ and v keys to select which entry is highlighted. Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before booting, or 'c' for a command-line.
The image_directory is the name of the directory where the installation image is located.
If you used the NFS to set the path to the JumpStart directory with the add_install_client command and the -c option, then you do not need to include the path in the boot entry.
If you are not using NFS, then you must note the path to the compressed configuration file that contains the JumpStart directory.
To stop the booting process and use the menu entry editor, type e.
The GRUB edit menu is displayed.
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-8/multiboot kernel/unix -B console=ttyb,\ install_media=126.96.36.199:/export/mary/v11 \ module /I86PC.Solaris_11-8/x86.new
Use the arrow keys to select the boot entry.
To edit the selected command, type e.
A command that is similar to the following example displays.
grub edit>kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-8/multiboot kernel/unix -B \ console=ttyb,install_media=188.8.131.52:/export/mary/_\ module /I86PC.Solaris_11-8/x86.new
Edit the command by typing the options that you need.
The syntax for a JumpStart installation is the following.
grub edit>kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-image_directory/multiboot kernel/unix/ \ - install [url|ask] options -B install_media=media_type
For a description of JumpStart options, see x86: Command Reference for Booting the System.
In the following example, the OS is installed over the network with a custom JumpStart profile.
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_11-8/multiboot kernel/unix/ - install \ -B install_media=220.127.116.11:/export/mary/v11 \ module /I86PC.Solaris_11-8/x86.new
To accept the edits, press Enter.
Your changes are saved and the GRUB main menu is displayed.
Pressing the Escape key returns you to the GRUB main menu without saving your changes.
To begin the installation, type b.

I was staying in a bed and breakfast earlier this week and my host and I started discussing good manners, in particular thank-you letters. She told me the most brilliant story, which shows that you should always write such letters after receiving a present or any sort of hospitality.
As children, her sister and her were always sent one pound for Christmas and respective birthdays from a distant relative on their father's side. At the time, £1 was worth considerably more than it is today. The one-pound kept coming and both sisters wrote, without fail a letter to say thank you to the relative. By the time the sisters for in their mid-forties, the pounds were still being sent and one sister (not my host – her sibling) decided that it was a bit silly now as £1 wasn't worth much at all and writing a thank-you letter was ridiculous. However, my host still kept on writing the letters.
One year, the money stopped. My host got a call from the relative's solicitor to say that the relative had died and in her will had left her £250,000 but the other sister was left nothing. The will stated that my host had been left the money because she had "better manners and always said thank-you".

I see that the current version of DejaCloud (1.2.4) hasn't been upgraded since January 13, 2016. Will it ever be upgraded?
I have reported several bugs and performance is horrible, so I know it has problems that need to be fixed.
I'm also reluctant to upgrade to CompanionLink 8, because the lack of site maintenance makes it seem as if this product is on its way out.
I love the product, but can't recommend it to others until some of the bugs are fixed and performance improves.
Is there any hope?

Local First partners with state's marketing arm
The Michigan Economic Development Corp. and Local First have partnered to form a two year pilot program to increase awareness of the economic impact of supporting local businesses, while gathering data that could lead to new or improved small business support programs.
Grand Rapids-based Local First partners with about 600 independent businesses and community organizations to support sustainable economic development in the region.
As part of the pilot program, Local First will expand its developments into Grand Haven, Holland and Portland. The nonprofit will also hire a new staff member who will collaborate with the new locations' community leaders and business members.
Local First will work with the local chambers of commerce, main street programs and economic development organizations to engage and support small businesses for a marketing campaign.
"There is a strong history of successful business entrepreneurialism in this region that has been lost in many other places around the country. We need to retain this culture," said Emily Loeks, director of community relations at Grand Rapids Celebration! Cinema and Local First board vice chair. "We can do this by naming it, by asking business leaders to share best sustainable business practices with each other and new entrepreneurs and by making the choice more clear to consumers. Local First champions each of these objectives."
MEDC's job in the partnership is to track the program's success rate, measuring aspects such as business growth — in terms of sales and jobs — startup success rates and public awareness.
MEDC will use the data to either create new small business programs or support existing programs.
"Locally owned independent businesses are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant economy," MEDC President and CEO Michael Finney said. "We are pleased to support Local First's efforts to strengthen Michigan-based businesses and to grow our regional economies."

Mr. Speaker, my colleague knows very well that Bill C-5 will give more discretionary power to the minister to repatriate Canadians who are serving sentences abroad.
The Bloc Québécois is very worried about this. We saw the Conservatives fight tooth and nail in the House to defend their former candidate and MP Rahim Jaffer, in response to the allegations of impaired driving and cocaine possession. We have to wonder whether the purpose of this bill is simply to enable Conservative MPs or anyone who has their membership card to be repatriated.
It worries me that this would give so much power to a Conservative minister. Does the member agree with me?

RENO v. AMERICAN-ARAB ANTI-DISCRIMINATIONCOMM.

- Concurrence, Stevens [HTML] [PDF]
- Dissent, Souter [HTML] [PDF]
RENO, ATTORNEY GENERAL, et al. v. AMERICAN-ARAB ANTI-DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE et al.
certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit
Respondent resident aliens filed this suit, claiming that petitioners, the Attorney General and other federal parties, targeted them for deportation because of their affiliation with a politically unpopular group, in violation of their First and Fifth Amendment rights. After the District Court preliminarily enjoined the proceedings against respondents, but while an appeal by the Attorney General was pending, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), which, inter alia, repealed the old judicial-review scheme in the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U. S. C. §1105a, and instituted a new provision, 8 U. S. C. §1252(g), which restricts judicial review of the Attorney Generals decision or action to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders against any alien under this Act [e]xcept as provided in this section. The Attorney General filed motions in both the District Court and the Ninth Circuit, arguing that §1252(g) deprived them of jurisdiction over respondents selective-enforcement claim. The District Court denied the motion. The Ninth Circuit, consolidating an appeal from that denial with the pending appeal, upheld jurisdiction and affirmed the District Courts decision on the merits.
Held:<unicode value="8194"> Section 1252(g) deprives the federal courts of jurisdiction over respondents suit. Pp. 521.
(a) Although IIRIRA §309(c)(1)s general rule is that the revised procedures for removing aliens, including §1252s judicial-review procedures, do not apply in exclusion or deportation proceedings pending on IIRIRAs effective date, IIRIRA §306(c)(1) directs that a single provision, §1252(g), shall apply without limitation to claims arising from all past, pending, or future exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings. Section 1252(g) applies to three discrete actions that the Attorney General may take: her decision or action to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders. (Emphasis added.) The provision seems designed to give some measure of protection to such discretionary determinations, providing that if they are reviewable at all, they at least will not be made the bases for separate rounds of judicial intervention outside the streamlined process designed by Congress. Respondents challenge to the Attorney Generals decision to commence proceedings against them falls squarely within §1252(g), and §1252 does not otherwise provide jurisdiction. Pp. 517.
(b) The doctrine of constitutional doubt does not require that §1252(g) be interpreted in such fashion as to permit immediate review of respondents selective-enforcement claims. An alien unlawfully in this country has no constitutional right to assert such a claim as a defense against his deportation. Pp. 1721.
119 F. 3d 1367, vacated and remanded.
Scalia, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Rehnquist, C. J., and OConnor, Kennedy , and Thomas, JJ., joined, and in Parts I and II of which Ginsburg and Breyer, JJ., joined. Ginsburg, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment, in which Breyer, J., joined as to Part I. Stevens, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. Souter, J., filed a dissenting opinion.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY is a list of resources designed to fulfill a need. It may be the list of sources cited in a paper or book. It may also be a document of intrinsic worth and usefulness. This note includes guidelines in producing several types of bibliographies. Some bibliographies are for the use only of the writer. Others are meant for use by students and scholars.
Organizing and retrieving information for use in one's occupation and personal life is increasingly necessary. Bibliographies offer a way of organizing. If stored electronically, information can be searched and manipulated for many uses.
The American Library Association's Guidelines for the Preparation of a Bibliography (1992) is the major source used for this note.
1. Enumerative bibliographies are just lists of citations. They list everything available on a topic in a given timespan, journal, library, etc. A standard bibliographic format suitable to the subject or discipline should be used. Examples are the APA Publication format and MLA Style. Other recognized styles may also be used.
2. Annotated bibliographies include notes about the items. Clear concise writing is desirable. Some writers include lengthy annotations. The length of the comment is determined by the writers purpose. Or in the case of a class assignment, the parameters set by the instructor. The notes may be of several kinds. An annotation can include one or more of these types.
A. Informative notes offer explanations of the reason for including the item.
B. Descriptive annotations include information about the contents. They may include subject matter, research type, author affiliations, or any information related to the purpose of the bibliography. The type of descriptions in a bibliography are often commented on in the introduction.
C. Critical evaluations describe the place of the item within the literature and assesses its value. The appropriateness of research methods may be included if it is a bibliography of research. The critical comments may be positive or negative. Comparisons to other similar works are sometimes commented upon.
Lengthy bibliographies usually include an index. However, it should be organized so that it can be used without an index. It may be organized alphabetically by author, or by topic, or by media/format, or other specified arrangement. This should be indicated in the introduction. Whatever the arrangement, it should be easy to understand and use.
The introduction to the document should give the rationale and anticipated use(s) for the bibliography. It should state its limitations and any special features.
Suggestions for materials to be included in a bibliography follow. Some or all may be appropriate to a topic. The physical arrangement is determined by the anticipated use.
These are typical groupings or arrangements in bibliographies.
Works by and about a person:
1.Primary Sources
A. Books
B. Shorter works
C. Essays, articles, nonfiction
D. Audiovisuals by type
2. Secondary Sources
A. Biographical
B. Interviews
C. Book Reviews
D. Criticism
E. General books & articles
Subject matter resources
These may be lists of resources grouped by category or they may be pathfinders. A subject matter bibliography can be a precursor to a review of literature essay. It can be as narrow or broad as the subject matter under consideration. It can be limited to books or journals or other media or be inclusive. This is determined by the writer.
Pathfinders are bibliographies designed to introduce the novice to a discipline. They often start with reference materials, lists of subject headings, lists of periodicals and lists of periodical indexes useful for that subject, in addition to some of the following:
1. General Books
A. grouped by content
1. primary
2. secondary
B. grouped by audience
C. support or peripheral materials
2. Professional Books
A. pedagogy
B. technology
C. standards or licensing
3. Reference Books
A. handbooks
B. almanacs
C. dictionaries
D. encyclopedias
E. directories
F. bibliographies
G. government publications
4. Audiovisuals by type
The usefulness of a bibliography is dependent on the accuracy of the information. Effort should be made to have complete citations with no typographical or content errors. Notes or annotations should be factually correct and grammatically sound. Well-turned sentences and interesting imagery is to be encouraged in annotations.
The format of the document itself should be attractive and clear. Many computer word processing programs have a selection of page layout possibilities. Computers also allow for the use of several typefaces to are emphasis and subdivide the bibliography. Visual components can make a document more or less accessible to the reader. White space and margins on the pages are important. If it is a working document, space for personal notes is appreciated.

Home Health Aides - More Than Just Babysitters
By Chuck Ross , April 05, 2013 06:00 AM
The subject of raising the minimum wage has been a theme in the news for the last several weeks. You might be surprised to learn that many home health aides will see no benefit from any possible bump to the current $7.25 an hour rate - I know I was, when I read an article from CNN Money posted on one of my new favorite blogs, The Voice of Aging Boomers. It turns out that many home health aides are grouped with babysitters in U.S. labor laws, and so those who hire them are exempt from paying them anything more than what you give that nice high school girl to watch your 12-year-old when you go out to dinner for the evening.
The category these two very different occupations share is called "companionship worker," and by their presence in it, home health aides are assumed to spend at least 80% of their workweek simply keeping a patient company. One quote in the article took my breath away: "What they do is static, there's not a lot of effort." This was from Val Halamandaris, president of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. As you might expect, this group represents the owners of home health agencies, not their employees. In fact, the organization doesn't believe that the workers should even get an overtime bonus.
Home health aides were critical in helping me keep my father living with me for the 3-1/2 years he lived under my roof. After his first hospitalization and rehab stay, we received a benefit from Dad's Medicare Advantage plan of an aide twice a week to help Dad in and out of the shower. That benefit only lasted three weeks or so, but he never quite recovered his balance. So I talked Dad into paying for two one-hour visits a week to continue the service. (OK, "talk" probably doesn't quite describe the forcefulness of those conversations, but he did finally agree.) We turned to the same visiting nurse group that had done the job through his insurance company, so we could have the same aides with whom Dad was already comfortable.
This wasn't a simple companionship service, it was real work. In addition to helping Dad with his shower, the aides also would change the bed (and mattress protectors) and sometimes even do the morning dishes. It helped me spend more time working and it gave Dad some more people to interact with during the day. I think the aides might have gotten $20 from the $30 to $35 hourly rate we paid the agency, and they earned every penny. Once Dad lost his license and couldn't drive anymore, we hired another aide who was more of a companion (and who became a very good friend to Dad) to take him out for errands and lunch a couple times a week - this was a bargain at $18 an hour (which included her mileage).
We were very lucky that Dad could afford this expense - which is, of course, at the heart of the whole conversation regarding home aides and their compensation. Older folks needing extra help to stay in their homes are often on fixed incomes, and what could be a fairer wage might be out of their limited budgets. Medicare only covers limited home health assistance. Medicaid is beginning to cover some of these services in some states, but only after the person has spent down their assets to near-poverty levels and only if they meet criteria for need in specified activities of daily living. (The irony of this last requirement, of course, is that home assistance could prevent accidents that might end up resulting in even more severe health complications.) On the other side, though, the low wages forced on many caregivers by the market means many of those workers require government assistance simply to keep food on their own families' tables.
I don't have any solutions to offer, beyond the assertion that any solution has to involve workers earning a living wage.

How to Use the Images
1. Who is seated with Roosevelt in this photo? Considering the date the photo was taken, why might he have been paying a call on her?
2. What does the photo tell you about the appearance of the interior of Roosevelt's house?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of this photo, but be aware that the entire file will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Recipe of the Day: Rachael Ray's Deviled Potato Salad
5 all-purpose potatoes, peeled and diced
Coarse salt
1/4 onion
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise, eyeball the amount
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon hot cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Boil potatoes in water seasoned with coarse salt until they are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain cooked potatoes and return to the warm pot to dry them out. Let the potatoes stand 2 minutes, then spread potatoes out on to a cookie sheet to quick-cool them.
In the bottom of a medium mixing bowl, grate 1/4 onion using a hand grater. Add mustard and mayonnaise, paprika and cayenne pepper sauce to the grated onion and stir to combine.
Add potatoes to the bowl and stir to evenly distribute dressing. Season potato salad with salt and pepper and taste to adjust your seasonings. Top servings of salad with chopped scallions.

It was Jan. 28, 1991, Super Bowl XXV (25) and American Patriotism, which took such a severe hit during the Vietnam War, was never greater. We were dominating Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf War. America considered our military people heroes again. Remember the yellow ribbons?
And then before the mighty Buffalo Bills took on the underdog New York Giants, Frank Gifford announced on the Tampa stadium public address system that Whitney Houston would perform our National Anthem.
It was arguably the most anticipated Star-Spangled Banner in U.S. history. And Houston stepped up and hit a 450-foot drive down the middle of fairway. She knocked it out of the park. What other metaphor can I use?
When I heard of Whitney's death today, all I could think of was her National Anthem prior to that Bills-Giants' Super Bowl. Scott Norwood wound up missing a tad right from 47 yards at game's end. At game's beginning, Whitney drilled it straight down the middle. It was her quivering lower lip, and our nation's spirit at the time, that made it.
Here it is, the greatest National Anthem of all time:

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and will have a happy new year too. I stuck to my classics this Christmas, with mince pies, gingerbread men and Christmas cake. I've posted them all many times before so thought I'd spare you another trip down memory lane!
I did make some tweaks with my Christmas cake this year so thought I should document them...if only to aide my aging brain come October 2012 when I'm desperately trying to recall what I did!
I stuck with my classic Christmas cake and fondant icing recipe and used brandy as the spirit in the cake this year. The holly decoration is made from leftover fondant icing coloured red and green – I used Dr Oetker natural colouring.
For the marzipan I used the dead easy no-faff recipe that I first tried at Easter with my simnel cake – it tastes divine and is sooooo good natured to roll out. I've never had such a lovely smooth covering:
Normally, I only cover the top of the cake, but this year I decided to do a full covering...I have to admit it does look nicer when you cut a slice. I think the key to it is getting the marzipan and icing thin enough so that it doesn't over power the cake.
Apologies for the slightly fuzzy photos, but it was rather late on Christmas day when I suddenly realised, "oh bother, I am yet to photograph my Christmas cake". Yes, that's exactly how the thought formed in my mind.....!

Adobe CS5 Dreamweaver Property Inspector Tool
Many of the tools you use when working with images in Adobe Creative Suite 5 (Adobe CS5) Dreamweaver are located in the Property inspector. The Property inspector tool provides an easy and inclusive method of editing your images.
You can choose from these properties when an image is selected:
Editing the original: If you want to make a quick change, it shouldn't have to involve a lot of directory navigation on your operating system. To edit your original image file, select it and click the Edit in Photoshop button on the Property inspector. The image is launched in Photoshop, where you can make changes and save the image again.
You can select the default image editing application for different image file types by choosing Preferences→Files Types/Editors. Photoshop CS5 is the primary editor for almost every image type by default.
Optimizing an image: You can optimize images directly from the Dreamweaver page, but this method doesn't provide quite the same abilities as when you place a native Photoshop or Fireworks file,. It may already be a GIF or JPEG file, and you can reduce the number of colors in the GIF or convert a JPEG to a GIF, but you can't increase color levels or quality on these images.
Cropping an image: This feature is sure to become a favorite because you can make cropping decisions right on your Dreamweaver page. Simply click the Crop tool, acknowledge the warning message that you're editing the image, and then click and drag the handles to the size you want. Press the Enter key and you're done!
Resampling an image: You may have heard that you shouldn't resize an image placed on a Dreamweaver page because if you were making the image larger, it would become pixilated, and if you were making the image smaller, you were wasting lots of bandwidth downloading the file. Fortunately, you can now use the Resample button on the Property inspector after you resize the image.
Just keep in mind that making the image larger still causes some quality issues, so you should reduce the file size before clicking the Resample button. If you need to make an image considerably larger, find the original and optimize it to the proper size.
To resize an image, you can either click and drag out the lower right handle of the image or type a pixel value in the W (Width) and H (Height) text fields in the Property inspector.
Brightness and contrast: If high quality is important to you, open your original image in Photoshop and make tonal corrections with professional digital imaging tools. If volume and quickly getting lots of images and pages posted are important, take advantage of the Brightness and Contrast controls built into Adobe Dreamweaver.
Simply click the Brightness and Contrast button in the Property inspector, acknowledge the Dreamweaver dialog box, and adjust the sliders to create the best image.
Sharpen: Add crispness to images by applying the Sharpness controls available in Dreamweaver. As with some of the other image editing features in Dreamweaver, you're better off using the Unsharp mask filter in Photoshop; in a pinch, this feature is a quick and useful tool to take advantage of.
To use the Sharpening feature, click the Sharpen button, acknowledge the warning that you're changing the image, and use the slider to sharpen the image.

What I heard about Forsberg today
OTTAWA – Here at the Stanley Cup Finals, I was hanging out in the press room today and chatted with a person who has Peter Forsberg on his speed dial.
Here is the information from him that I'll pass along to Avalanche Blog Nation:
Forsberg is making some noise about his desire to return to the Avalanche.
He is saying that, while he won't decide ANYTHING until July, when he can become an unrestricted free agent, he isn't likely to want to play for anybody other than the three teams he's played for in his NHL career. Those teams, of course, are Colorado, Philadelphia and Nashville.
And, trust me, Nashville isn't No. 1 on that list. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Forsberg won't be back as a Predator. That leaves Colorado and Philly, and I'd bet the ranch that the Avalanche would place ahead of the Flyers on his list.
The question is, would the Avs want him back?
It's a fascinating question. On the one hand, he's still Peter Forsberg, still a guy who can get a point a game and dominate a game on occasion. On the other hand, he's 33 now and clearly his best days are behind him. He's one of the most injury-prone players in the league, and he probably would still come at a big ticket – although I have a hunch Foppa would take a little less money to play in Colorado again than most cities.
Forsberg is back in Sweden now, relaxing and hanging out with his girlfriend – who lives in New York. I think Colorado is No. 1 on his list of teams to play for, but again, the question becomes: would the Avs want him back?
He's a natural center, but the Avs already have Joe Sakic and Paul Stastny as top centers. Would Foppa really accept being a third-line center in Denver? Would he switch to left wing, say on a line with Sakic and Andrew Brunette, or a line with Stastny and Milan Hejduk? I'm sure he could accept playing wing again (he's done it before), but it's not his usual spot.
The person I talked to said Forsberg is well aware of the Avalanche's salary cap situation. The Avs have some decent room to play with, and could likely afford to take him on – even when they are still saddled with the cumbersome contract of goalie Jose Theodore.
It sounds like it comes down to this: Forsberg would be all ears if the Avalanche wanted to make him an offer to return. But will they?
We'll find out soon. In the meantime, let's hear from Avs Nation on whether that would be a wise move or not.

Over the last week, I've mostly discussed indoor activities when discussing inexpensive ways to spend time with your family. Art projects? Usually inside. Reading? Usually inside. Making things in your kitchen? Usually inside.
We've just been through an Iowa winter. Much of the last few months was spent on indoor activities. Today, though, the weather is beautiful. The sun is shining. The temperature is warm.
Open up your front door, and there's much more to explore.
If you can't find something free and enjoyable to do outside, you're not trying. Here are some suggestions.
Go on a wandering walk. Go outside your front door. Decide to walk left, right, or straight. Keep walking until you find the first interesting intersection. Go in the most interesting direction. Repeat until you're on the verge of being lost, then find a new path home. I'm almost sure you'll find something interesting out there.
Enjoy the services of your local parks and recreation department. Visit their website and see what kind of facilities they have and what kinds of classes are offered. The fields near our home are in almost constant use throughout the spring, summer, and fall, with activities for children and for adults.
Visit a park. National parks are beautiful, but can cost you. State parks are often just as beautiful and they're often free. Pack a picnic lunch and head to a state park. Explore the trails, see what nature has to offer, enjoy a meal together, and get tons of exercise and fresh air.
Go camping. I never sleep better than I do when I'm camping. I love nothing more than going to some secluded area on a hot summer day, pitching a tent, exploring the area around me, building a campfire, cooking food over that campfire, playing an outdoor game or two, and passing out from the overdose of warm fresh air and lots of exercise.
Have a cookout. Invite some friends over. Put up a volleyball net or set a football out in the yard. Cook some food over a grill, share a meal together, and get lots of fresh air and exercise.
Start a garden. Rent a small tiller for the day from a hardware store (or borrow one from a friend) and till up a patch of earth near your home. Plant some vegetables, fruits, and flowers there. Check on it each day and keep the weeds away. Before you know it, you'll have a bounty on your hands (or, at the very least, a learning experience!).
Play an outdoor game. Teach your child how to play catch with a ball. Start a game of tag, touch football, or soccer. Turn on a sprinkler and run through it (yes, I do this with my kids several times each summer).
Go to a local public swimming pool. Many communities have public pools with open hours. It's a wonderful time to swim, particularly outside of the "peak" hours (early evening, usually).
Go to a free outdoor concert. These happen weekly in communities near ours. Just pack a picnic and a blanket, go to the concert site, kick back in the grass with the family, enjoy some fresh food and appreciate the wonderful music.
Get outside. There's so much to see and do, and virtually all of it is free.

Chocolates are Back!
For the ultimate guilt-free decadence: Our raw, organic chocolate bars are back!
Here at Sunfood, we are love supporting awesome local companies such as Earth Source Organics. Audrey Darrow, President of Earth Source Organics, maker of Righteously Raw chocolate products, shares her touching story below:
"Earth Source Organics started as a need to find affordable raw, organic foods as I was just recovering from a very aggressive breast cancer and money was tight. I saw that raw chocolate was selling for $14 a bar and I assumed that many others could not afford the luxury either. After going through treatment, I had severe allergies and quickly learned that this was a huge problem for children and adults. I felt I needed to produce foods that others could enjoy without all the worry. We continue to grow and are so very grateful for our wonderful customers and the amazing companies that allow us to sell our products to them!"
"This is by far my favorite tasting chocolate bar. It's so rich that you only need a 'stick' to satisfy…. so yummy!. You can really taste the goji flavour!"

By Lawrence Hurley
WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - It has been three years since
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito seized the limelight
during one of President Barack Obama's State of the Union
He has not been back since.
The annual address on Tuesday marked the third year in a row
that Alito has not attended the event. He was one of three
justices - the others being fellow conservatives Antonin Scalia
and Clarence Thomas - who were no-shows.
Alito's decision not to attend was no surprise, in
particular because his mother, Rose, died last week at the age
of 98. Her funeral took place in Hamilton, New Jersey, on
Monday, according to an online obituary in a local newspaper.
Scalia spent the evening participating in another public
event. He talked about his life as a justice before a paying
audience at George Washington University in Washington.
Both of Obama's appointees to the court, Justice Sonia
Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan, attended on Tuesday, as did
Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Anthony Kennedy, Justice
Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Stephen Breyer.
Alito generated headlines during the 2010 speech when the
president openly criticized the court's decision to strike down
campaign finance restrictions in a case called Citizens United
v. Federal Election Commission.
"Not true," Alito was seen mouthing as Obama described the
impact of the ruling.
Alito's decision not to attend, in the aftermath of the
media scrutiny his remarks prompted, put the spotlight in
general on Supreme Court justice attendance at the showpiece
It is up to each individual justice whether to attend and
some clearly feel more of an obligation to go than others.
Roberts has attended every State of the Union address since
he was appointed in September 2005. Breyer has also had a high,
though not perfect, attendance rate since taking up his role in
1994, according to research conducted by Michael Giles, an Emory
University professor, and Todd Peppers, a professor at Roanoke
By contrast, Thomas, Scalia and Ginsburg have all regularly
opted out of attending, Giles and Peppers say.
As for Alito's reasons for not attending, he said at an
October 2010 event in New York that the State of the Union
speeches have "become very political events and it's very
awkward for the justices," who are not expected to show any
response to any politically charged rhetoric.

Build Rules:
• Your Hero must be from Marvel or DC and you aren't restricted to official minifigs.
. . . They must be recognizable. This not only means built well - but also mainstream enough that the staff won't have to resort to Wikipedia to confirm their validity. If you are even remotely worried about your choice being too obscure: contact the staff before you start building. Odds are one of use will know them so don't sweat this too much.
. . . Your fig must be made up of official LEGO elements. It may be difficult to come up with a particular minifig that looks like the super hero you are basing it on, but try your best and use your imagination.
. . . The minifigure has to fit the line. That means fleshy colored heads and hands (unless your character isn't flesh colored of course).
• Your model must be appropriately themed to match your Hero. Keep in mind that this is the real challenge. The minifig is fluff. Don't spend a month perfecting your Hero then throw together a model at the last minute.
• It must clearly be some sort of flying machine. No cars, boats, spaceships, or giant robots.
• Just like the Wheels of Justice contest: don't copy any existing vehicles. This is supposed to be your own design, and it doesn't have to make perfect sense. Who says Superman can't fly a jet if he wants?
Standard Contest Restrictions:
• No more than one entry per person.
• No more than one person per entry.
• No modified parts or cut stickers.
• No unofficial elements.
• No pre-existing or virtual models.
• No changes allowed after the deadline.
How To Enter:
Submit two photos in a reply to this thread before the deadline:
• The first featuring your model in flight mode, which will be used as the polling image.
• The second a close up of the minifig in the cockpit or posed with the model.
You must have a forum account to enter. Entries by proxy will be not be allowed.
Optional: include a link to a gallery or MOC Showcase post with more images.
Do not post non-entry photos to the contest thread unless you want to be disqualified.
You must use Flickr to host your entry pictures because we rely on the built in image resizing feature. If you do not have an account, you can sign up for free, or ask someone to upload it for you. Once uploaded you will need to embed the photo in the forum. To do so:
- go to the flickr photo page for your image
- click the little down arrow above your photo to the right of the icons
- click "Grab the HTML/BBCode" from that drop down menu
- check the bubble next to "BBCode" (HTML will not work)
- copy the code from the box above and paste that into a reply here
- do not add any more code tags
- click Preview to verify that it worked, then Submit.
Photography note: Your submission photos should be in landscape format (wider than it is tall). Be sure to submit the best picture possible. Color and contrast correction is recommended if necessary. The only image enhancement allowed is replacing the background with either a solid color or simple gradient. Your photo cannot be altered in any other way. For example; no composite views, additional special effects, text, graphics, or scenery will be permitted. Remember, the contest is about the models - not your image manipulation prowess.
Voting will occur in two phases. Round one will include all valid entries and determine the top five, and a final round will determine the winners.
This contest's prize pool is sponsored by LEGO. Everyone say, "Thanks LEGO!".
1st: 6869 Quinjet
2nd: 6863 Batwing Battle over Gotham City
3rd: 6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown
Good luck!
Disclaimer: these rules may be amended for clarification at any time during the build phase. You are responsible for making sure your entry meets all of the requirements before the deadline. If you have any questions/concerns please post them in this thread or send a PM to Solo.
----- Clarifications -----
1. This is for Heroes only. No villains.
2. Minifig scale.

Elissalde calls time on career

Toulouse scrum-half Jean-Baptiste Elissalde has called time on his playing career following their 21-19 triumph over Biarritz in the Heineken Cup final.
Elissalde, 32, was a late addition to the replacements bench at the Stade de France after struggling with a groin injury in recent weeks but did not feature as his side racked up a record fourth European title.
Capped 35 times by France, he played all of his Test rugby at No.9 while also featuring regularly at fly-half for Toulouse. Injury curtailed his international career and his last cap for Les Bleus came in 2008 against the Pacific Islands.
He will play his final games for the Barbarians in the coming weeks as the famous invitational side take on England and Ireland and is reported to be taking up a coaching role with Toulouse from next season.
