All News Releases By Date
Painting Company Fined for Failure to Notify Customers about Lead Hazards in New England
Release Date: 08/28/2012
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Aug. 28, 2012) – A national house painting company with offices in Woburn, Mass., has agreed to pay a $7,200 penalty and to spend $65,000 on an environmental project at a school in Cambridge to settle claims by the US Environmental Protection Agency that it failed to provide required lead hazard information to home owners in four New England states on 41 occasions.
According to a settlement filed recently, College Pro Painters failed to provide EPA's lead hazard information pamphlet to at least 41 owners and adult occupants of pre-1978 housing before beginning painting projects at units in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. This was in violation of the federal Pre-Renovation Rule, and the Toxic Substances Control Act.
In addition to paying the penalty, College Pro will spend $65,000 to replace or restore 79 windows that likely contain lead paint at Congregation Eitz Chayim (Harvard Hillel Children's School) on Magazine Street in Cambridge, Mass.
College Pro, an interior and exterior house painting company based in Maryland, had more than 300 franchisees operating in 27 states as of 2009. All of the work at issue in this case was performed by College Pro employees or contractors, not by franchisees.
The Pre-Renovation Rule aims to educate owners or occupants on how to minimize their exposure to hazardous lead dust that is often generated during painting projects conducted in older homes. The Rule requires that companies notify owners or occupants before starting work in homes built before 1978 that disturbs more than six square feet of interior or 20 square feet of exterior painted surface and that they provide them with an EPA-approved pamphlet with information about lead paint hazards and necessary precautions. Exposure to lead is particularly harmful to children under six years old and to pregnant women.
In June 2006, EPA's New England office sent letters explaining the Pre-Renovation Rule to more than 600 painting companies, contractors, and remodeling firms in New England, including College Pro. In 2007, EPA began inspecting several of those entities who had received these letters.
This case stems from an Oct. 2009 inspection of College Pro's New England offices in Woburn. EPA's inspection and follow up information gathering showed that College Pro failed to provide the EPA lead information pamphlet to the owners or occupants (or mail the pamphlet to the owners during the time limits required) on at least 41 occasions - 28 in 2008 and 13 in 2009.
The lead abatement project in Cambridge must be completed within 150 days of the agreement.

Sorry I found out I was asking about the wrong thing. I was actually asking about the templates. However, one problem came up: When I use the templates, there are some gaps and boxes that I want it to be "transparent" like :
How do I "make" it "transparent"?

Open your image in PhotoShop.
Posibility 1 : Use one of the Eraser tools.
Make sure your image is selected otherwise you might get an error ... now use either the normal Eraser tool. The Eraser tool is next to the Clone Stamp tool.
Here's sceeny :
Spoiler for Basic Eraser tool explanation:
Posibility 2 :
Use the magic eraser tool... same as eraser tool only its more like the fill tool.
Spoiler for Screeny:
Posibility 3 :
Use a Layer Mask... it will make everything exept the selected area transparent... this is the most probabel method used to create that template that you posted.
Just select an area and then add the layer mask.
Spoiler for Screeny:
To make a more complex selection see the tutorial above... try doing a 1px stroke, so that the image will look nicer (the one you posted probably has one)

Basically for a gif, the less movement or changes between frames there are, the smaller the filesize.
For example, look at this gif:
Not much movement, yes?
So the filesize should be small... woah ! 62 KB?
But only the eyes and mouth are moving!
...Or is it?
Upon closer inspection you will realise that the background isn't consistant.
This is very common when making gifs from anime footages. (esp. fansubs, as the videos are compresssed)
The variance in the background contributes to the filesize.
So let's get started on reducing the size!
The trick is knowing which parts of the gifs you want to be moving and which parts to be static.
In this case, we only want the eyes and mouth to move, everything else should stay static.
So, we select the eyes and mouth, and delete the rest of the background EXCEPT for the first frame.
We need the first frame as the reference for the background.
Finally, just make the first frame show up for the rest of the frames.
Thats better.
Till next time, folks.
Oh, and don't forget to worship the impish, but adorable Hagino Kana!
Or she'll throw another tantrum.

How can you make a crop-size sig? You know, like you just made a sig by cropping the image but not changing the overall designs (except maybe putting texts in it)? I think, what Chibidusk did for me before.

To decrese it's size try cuting frames... I know it sounds bad but there are frames that are very obscure (especialy with the timing you have)... basicly your first 3 will only be noticed if someone opens the file... anyway here are some variations on your avatar...
With some frames removed and some tweqing here and there...
... 12 frames
... 10 frames
Both are AS friendly...
//edit Try cuting frames from two and two (uhh... as in 1,4,6,8 an so on... it tends to leave general animation intact)
// Also, note that I goofed up a little on the first
Also... this is just my personal opinion... but it's not a good idea to place such a huge delay in frames... people don't have minutes to just stare at your avatar (some people will ignore it)
Note that using the tutorials obove will help you turn even a 300k monsters into a 50k friendlys... but quality will always suffer... it's better not to optimize ... if posible... or optimize for those last 10k or so...
You could add a border to reduce the size and shave some kilo, just remember to use a color already present or you will end up ading kilos... black is usually safe

All the dots that aren't moving are standing still... erasing them from the rest of the img and keeping them in the first won't make any difrence... I suspect your refering to Riker's tutorial... I think there's too mutch muvement here to erase anything... also that's not how Riker did it... I can say exactly how he did it but one way is to make a selection then place all the frames in a group then make a layer mask and all the parts that aren't in the selection will be "erased" (not really, but it's the same efect)... try using transparenty in the layers.
//edit I don't think there is a option to delete the dots that aren't muving, use the magic eraser tool for easy deletions of parts you think aren't muving.
Why do you want to combine images ?

Signature Size Limit.
Ok, this isn't exactly a tutorial but at least future makers will be able to read it.
> "50,000 bytes or less: Maximum of 500 pixels wide x 160 pixels tall"
The problem
The thing is this...
When you make a Signature make sure you look at the size in bytes instead of kilobytes because AnimeSuki rules state that total size of your Signature must be 50,000 bytes NOT 50Kb
1kb = 1000 bytes
1Kb = 1024 bytes (note the capital "K" in "Kb")
1kib = 1024 bytes (read: "kibibyte")
More Info in the Wiki Article.
So it's theoretically possible to have a sig that's 50k yet larger then 50,000 bytes. Bellow is an example.
Mistake Example
A sig of 2 images...
This is 49.2 Kb which is 50,473 bytes... hence it's OVER THE LIMIT
To clarify, here's a quote from one of the administrators.

What's causing this?
The part I'm specifically interested in is the granulation of the ceiling, blackboard, etc where it says School Rumble. I've tried tweaking the color settings, cutting down (and off) the lossy. None of it seems to make any difference. I'm assuming it's partially caused because this was originally a 640x480 frame, but is there something I can do to correct it or am I just going to have to live with it?

^ You dropped the color... to 64 colors o_O
Here's some question before I can figure out what happened?
1) Do you make it from the actual screencaps? or edit from a ready made gif?
2) How did you save the gif? Save for web option?
3) what option do you used?

Nyah~ Word on Photoshop.
Oh and make sure your text layer is above the background otherwise you'll be all 'Where's my text?!' ... I have bad days sometimes.
Edit: Make sure your text box is big enough if your text is vanishing into thing air, it doesn't auto expand. At least...I don't believe it does in PS7.

You probably have a myriad of software that you manage on any given day. From stuff on your home computer to stuff on your work computer. You apply fixes or upgrade but for some of the big stuff like DB2 there are some things you should be aware of.
A good technote/flash explaining the DB2 fix packs and special build policy can be found here
One area I like to highlight in the technote is the following:
"Although IBM recommends that customers maintain their DB2 database system environments at the latest fix pack level, you do not have to apply the latest fix pack in order to contact IBM DB2 technical support. All that is required is that your Passport Advantage Software Maintenance agreement is current. However, if it is determined that you have encountered a known problem that is addressed in a released fix pack, the solution will be to apply the appropriate fix pack."
The other for those of you that like to stay on special builds
"Unlike fix packs, special builds receive very limited testing by IBM and are intended to be used for a limited time until the fix can be incorporated into a fix pack and applied to your environment. DB2 special builds are typically supported for a maximum of 90 days after the fix pack containing the special build fix is officially released."
For the whole story read through the entire technote to help you in your daily tasks of managing your Databases fix pack and special builds.

Several concerns needed to be addressed before a final schedule could be drawn up. First of all, and this won't come as a surprise, but it will be a relatively minimalist release, with only the bare essential applications coming as part of the installation, with most of them geared towards developers. The included list of packages is not yet final, though, but do not expect things like Clockwerk or Wonderbrush to be part of the default image - think more along the lines of Pe, Perl, Python, CVS, BeBook, OpenSSH, Subversion, Nano, and so on. More user oriented applications you can expect to see are Vision (the IRC client of choice for many BeOS/Haiku users), Firefox, and P7Zip.
Another important issue which was quite intriguing to follow up close is that of software patents and GPL code. Obviously, Haiku can't include patent-encumbered code in jurisdictions where these are valid, so the project needs to either offer two versions, or make optional downloadable packages. GPL code is of course also possibly problematic, as the GPL is incompatible with the MIT license the Haiku project uses (one-way compatibility is no compatibility). When the alpha release is built, build switches will need to be set to exclude any possible GPL and patent-encumbered bits.
There was also quite some discussion on how to handle the release within trunk. Should the project make an alpha branch, close that branch except for bug-fixes, leaving trunk open for more disruptive changes - or should they go into "release mode", and limit trunk to anything but bugfixes? The latter was possible because no disruptive changes were happening at the moment anyway, but in the end, they opted for the former option of making an alpha branch.
With those issues settled, votes were cast over the release schedule for the alpha, and now that the voting is complete, we finally have a day to look forward to. The release schedule looks like this (note, though, that if anything serious comes up, the schedule might be abandoned and the release might be delayed):
- Sunday August 23rd, 12:00 GMT. The trunk will be branched so that the release team can work on optimizing the final image.
- Wednesday September 9th, 12:00 GMT. Alpha 1 will be tagged. Builds will be made, tested and distributed to mirrors. Then the release can be announced.
Yes, people, a release date has been set for the first alpha release of Haiku, the open source recreation of the BeOS. It's been a long time coming, but we can now all mark September 9 in our calendars.

2 giant pandas fly from China to Scotland
December 4, 2011
BEIJING (AP) — Two giant pandas have flown from China to Scotland, where they will become the first pandas to live in Britain in nearly two decades.
The pandas, named Tian Tian and Yang Guang — or Sweetie and Sunshine — munched on bamboo at Chengdu airport ahead of their trip and arrived in Edinburgh later Sunday.
The pandas are to stay for 10 years at Edinburgh Zoo, where officials hope they will breed during their stay.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland will pay more than 600,000 pounds ($935,000) a year to China for the loan of Sweetie and Sunshine, not including the expense of imported bamboo.
Britain's last giant panda lived in London Zoo until 1994, when it was returned to China.

Which albums that are released tomorrow (18th March) are worth checking out?
I know that the new Suede album is out and Daughter too. I'm interested to see if the Daughter album really is that good. I've not seen anything but 8s and 9s for their album. I saw them support the Smoke Fairies at The Barfly about 18 months ago; they were good but now they seem massive. I wonder how their sound would work at The Shepherds Bush Empire that they're to play later in the year.
Anyway, which other albums should I look into?
The Daughter album is
completely wonderful.
JT's must be out tomorrow ent it?
hopefully that informative list weekly releases that Guntrip did and then Sean did will be put up in the morn
Steve Mason
BMS1 I love ya
But I can't predict the future. Never have and never will.
Youth Lagoon
Ensemble Pearl
I'll add to the Daughter clamour
(unsurprisingly as I was one of those enraptured reviewers...) and echo that it's absolutely stunning, irrespective of the hype.
On a smaller note, the new Conquering Animal SOund album is pretty damn top-drawer as well.
is this out tomorrow?
i'll definitely be checking that out.
also, I wasn't too taken with the Daughter eps, will I like the album or is it more of the same?
The Daughter and Steve Mason albums both have thumbs up of approval from me.
Deptford Goth - Life After Defo doesn't have the same instant wow factor but I suspect it's a grower and a little time with it will reveal it's charms. If so then it's the second great album in as many months by an act with "Goth" in their name, both of whom don't sound like goth music.
So in conclusion quite a lot of stuff! However even this pales in comparison to the riches of April fools day where there's a smorgasbord of potentially great stuff upcoming; Hendrix, Flaming Lips, British Sea Power, Alkaline Trio and Leisure Society (sure there was something else I've forgotten).
Been listening to this today
It's damn goodbadmanreturns and GoatmeatMF this'd this
Specter At The Feast
By BRMC. I've been streaming it over this weekend and it's bloody marvellous.
Conquering Animal Sound's new one came out today
It's great.
Devendra Banhart?
is that out today? It's good, whenever it's out. less a collection of genre excercies, just good songs.
Think that was last Monday
need to listen to it and decide whether to go to the Brighton show

Criminals are targeting Land Rovers across the county as a large number have recently been stolen.
Police are advising Land Rover owners and the wider community to be extra vigilant after an increase in the theft of the vehicles.
Between November 2013 and January 2014 a total of 12 Land Rovers were stolen, the majority of which were in the Chesterfield and High Peak and Derbyshire Dales policing areas.
Detective Inspector Gemma Booth from Chesterfield Volume Crime Team has provided the following crime prevention advice to protect your vehicle:
Don't leave your Land Rover unattended away from your house/business for any length of time.
Choose car parks which are well lit and where there is CCTV
Where possible park your vehicle overnight in your garage if you have one
Fit an alarm/immobiliser and a tracker if possible.
The alarm may not be so effective in a remote location. The immobiliser should prevent them "hotwiring" the vehicle and the tracker will help locate the Defender if stolen.
Block your vehicle in with other parked cars at your house/business.
Consider purchasing a steering wheel lock and/or wheel clamps.
Ensure that keys are not left in the vehicle or somewhere where a thief will easily find them, such as a hook on the wall, or a table in the hallway of your house.
Report any suspicious persons or incidents to the police on 101 or 999 if it is a crime in progress.
Consider security marking your Land Rover should individual parts be stolen, this will assist in later identifying any recovered property.
Police urge anyone with information relating to these crimes to contact Derbyshire police using the non-emergency number 101.
To report crime anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Senator Mansfield, distinguished Members of the Congress:
In the long history of man, countless empires and nations have come and gone. Those which created no lasting works of art are reduced today to short footnotes in history's catalog.
Art is a nation's most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves, and to others, the inner vision which guides us as a nation. And where there is no vision, the people perish.
We in America have not always been kind to the artists and the scholars who are the creators and the keepers of our vision. Somehow, the scientists always seem to get the penthouse, while the arts and the humanities get the basement.
Last year, for the first time in our history, we passed legislation to start changing that situation. We created the National Council on the Arts.
The talented and the distinguished members of that council have worked very hard. They have worked creatively. They have dreamed dreams and they have developed ideas.
This new bill, creating the National Foundation for the Arts and the Humanities, gives us the power to turn some of those dreams and ideas into reality.
We would not have that bill but for the hard and the thorough and the dedicated work of some great legislators in both Houses of the Congress. All lovers of art are especially indebted to Congressman Adam Clayton Powell of New York, to Congressman Frank Thompson of New Jersey, to Senator Lister Hill of Alabama, to Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island, to many members of both the House and Senate who stand with me on this platform today--too many names to mention.
But these men and women have worked long and hard and effectively to give us this bill. And now we have it. Let me tell you what we are going to do with it. Working together with the state and the local governments, and with many private organizations in the arts:
--We will create a National Theater to bring ancient and modern classics of the theater to audiences all over America.
--We will support a National Opera Company and a National Ballet Company.
--We will create an American Film Institute, bringing together leading artists of the film industry, outstanding educators, and young men and women who wish to pursue the 20th century art form as their life's work.
--We will commission new works of music by American composers.
--We will support our symphony orchestras.
--We will bring more great artists to our schools and universities by creating grants for their time in residence.
Well, those are only a small part of the programs that we are ready to begin. They will have an unprecedented effect on the arts and the humanities of our great nation.
But these actions, and others soon to follow, cannot alone achieve our goals. To produce true and lasting results, our states and our municipalities, our schools and our great private foundations, must join forces with us.
It is in the neighborhoods of each community that a nation's art is born. In countless American towns there live thousands of obscure and unknown talents.
What this bill really does is to bring active support to this great national asset, to make fresher the winds of art in this great land of ours.
The arts and the humanities belong to the people, for it is, after all, the people who create them..

Fairtrade Czech Republic has changed its name to Fairtrade Czech Republic and Slovakia. The new scope covers activities in Slovakia, with a focus on Slovak retailers and promotion of the FAIRTRADE Mark.
Retailers in Slovakia are increasingly interested in Fairtrade. Alongside this, it is highly important to raise more awareness of Fairtrade amongst Slovak consumers.
"For a long time we have been aware of the need of our Slovakian business partners for a more significant support from Czech Republic, where we already have a Fairtrade marketing organization. By extending our activities to Slovakia we will be able to cooperate more effectively. Our next steps will focus on awareness-raising and promotion of Fairtrade in Slovakia," says Tomáš Bílý, chairman of Fairtrade Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Fairtrade Czech Republic has been part of Fairtrade International since 2009 and the organization has been actively supporting fair trade since 2004. Last year, two new member organizations from Slovakia joined the platform - Živica and Integra, who both have been promoting Fairtrade in Slovakia for a long time.
"Not many people in Slovakia know the Fairtrade Mark. Many of them are not sure what the concept means. I am convinced that with joint effort we can bring consumers and retailers to sustainable consumption and show Fairtrade is a fair alternative in global business world," says Juraj Hipš, Director of Živica, an organization with focus on education and sustainable consumption.
"We cannot bring the change in thinking and decision making of Slovak consumers ourselves. Our cooperation in this region is highly important, and mainly in the promotion and awareness-raising about Fairtrade" says Allan Bussard, Director of Integra Foundation supporting disadvantaged people in developing countries through education and access to market.
The changes makes Slovakia the second country in Central and Eastern Europe to have official Fairtrade representation.
"It is great to see how Fairtrade grows in other countries and how it keeps developing. Support from Czech Republic to our partners is Slovakia is a great opportunity to bring more consumers in Central Europe to responsible consumption. I wish my new colleagues at Fairtrade Czech Republic and Slovakia lots of success in their market. We strongly believe that Slovak consumers are ready to support Fairtrade farmers and workers with their daily purchases," says Andrea Richert, New Markets Manager at Fairtrade International.

DePauw jumped out to a 10-0 first-quarter lead, but visiting Wooster scored on three of its first four second half possessions and held on for a 27-24 North Coast Athletic Conference win over the Tigers on Nick Mourouzis Field at Blackstock Stadium.
DePauw's three-game win streak came to an end as the Tigers slipped to 3-5 overall and 3-4 in the NCAC, while Wooster improved to 5-3 overall and 5-2 in the conference.
The Tigers took the opening kickoff and drove 41 yards in 12 plays with Eric Malm booting a 40-yard field goal for a 3-0 DePauw lead.
Before the Tigers' offense even had a chance to rest, Wooster quarterback Richard Barnes fumbled on the Fighting Scots' first offensive play and DePauw's Dennis Callicutt recovered at midfield. Nine plays later Matt Hunt tossed a 12-yard scoring pass to Barry Flynn to make it 10-0 with 6:58 left in the first.
Early in the second, Wooster's Tyler Gerwig missed a 31-yard field goal attempt as his kick sailed lleft of the uprights. Later in the half, DePauw was backed up to its own 13 after back-to-back penalties totaling 25 yards and a short punt gave the Scots the ball on the DePauw 41.
Sean Hackel carried a couple of times for eight yards before Barnes rattled off a 31-yard run to the DePauw 2. Hackel reached paydirt on a 2-yard run, but Gerwig's point-after was off the mark and DePauw still led, 10-6, with 2:05 left.
Connor Jeffers returned the ensuing kickoff 38 yards and the Tigers quickly advanced into Wooster territory on Hunt's 15-yard pass to Nikko Sansone. A Wooster personal foul penalty gave DePauw the ball at the Wooster 33. DePauw picked up a first down on runs by Hunt and Sansone, but Hunt was sacked for a 13-yard loss by Matt Osolinski. Hunt gained back that yardage on the next play with a 22-yard scamper, but then fumbled on third-and-one at the Wooster 13 with Ian Crawford recovering for the Scots with 21 seconds left in the half.
Wooster quickly marched down the field to start the second half, but DePauw's defense stopped them on fourth-and-1 from the Tigers' 6. DePauw was unable to pick up a first down and was forced to punt. Brandon James' 11-yard return gave Wooster the ball at its own 49. Barnes was sacked for a 7-yard loss by Michael Mitsch on first down, but then completed five straight passes to drive the Fighting Scots to the DePauw 8. Barnes called his own number for an 8-yard touchdown run that gave Wooster its first lead at 13-10.
DePauw wasted little time in answering as Hunt completed three straight passes including a 9-yard scoring strike to Flynn that capped a four-play drive and made it 17-13 Tigers with 6:33 remaining in the third.
Wooster converted a fourth down on its next series, but Peter Nelson's 10-yard sack on third-and-5 forced the guests into a punting situation. A short punt on the Tigers' next series gave the Scots the ball at the DePauw 46. On the first play, Wooster's Keir Pace took a lateral pass from Barnes and tossed it into the arms of Darrian Owens for a touchdown to give Wooster a 20-17 advantage with 1:29 left in the third.
DePauw started its next series on its own 30 and Hunt began with a 5-yard pass to Kevin Ude before Amen Galley broke off a 29-yard run. Hunt then connected with Flynn for a 36-ysard score that gave DePauw a 24-20 advantage with just nine seconds left in the third. The score was Flynn's third TD reception of the game, tying a DePauw single-game record.
The Fighting Scots' eventual game-winning drive started on their own 32. Wooster advanced into DePauw territory, but a holding penalty and fumbled snap put them into a third-and-21 situation. Barnes teamed with Pace for an 18-yard gain on third down and then Barnes connected with Jake Vellucci for eight yards and a first down on the fourth-down play. Barnes went right back to Vellucci for a 19-yard strike on the next play to make it 27-24 with 11:27 left.
DePauw had two more chances as it drove to the Wooster 32, but Hunt was sacked by Brandon Taylor for a 22-yard loss on fourth down and then intercepted by Vinnie Congedo on the next drive. On the play prior to interception, Hunt appeared to have found Flynn for a long game near the Wooster 30, but Flynn was ruled to have stepped out of bounds and then back in before making the catch.
Wooster outgained the Tigers 440-402 as the Fighting Scots rushed for 208 and threw for 232. Hackel and Barnes each totaled 105 rushing yards, while Barnes threw for 186 more. Hackel also caught five passes for 40 yards.
Sansone rushed for 60 yards on 18 carries, but saw limited action in the second half. The Tigers totaled 101 rushing yards for the game. Hunt completed 20 of 35 for 301 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Flynn was the top receiver with eight catches for 130 yards.
Mitch Dwenger paced DePauw with 11 total tackles followed by Callicutt and Nick Freund with nine each. Nelson and Mitsch each had a sack as the Tigers totaled 6.0 tackles for losses of 24 yards.
John Battaglia recorded 13 stops for Wooster with James finishing with nine. Wooster sacked Hunt five times for 54 yards.

From Erights
A Signature describes the protocol of another object.
This type is proposed to replace TypeDesc, MessageDesc, and ParamDesc; the motivation for doing so is that while TypeDesc allows for message parameters' guards to be presented, it is difficult to define the means for doing so as a miranda method; Signature is defined so as to simplify this. Furthermore, it is arguably "fewer moving parts" in that rather than having the TD/MD/PD structure imitating a subset of what Kernel-E can express, we use Kernel-E directly.
(REVIEW: Should we adopt Signature in place of TypeDesc?)
(REVIEW: What should the expansion of the nonkernel "interface" expression be, given that we eliminate MessageDesc and ParamDesc which it uses?)
(XXX Define the Miranda __getAllegedType/0 behavior under this system precisely.)
(XXX User:Kevin Reid needs to review the experimental code and add other design decision questions to this page.)
The most important fields of a signature are the object expr and env.
The object expr is the expression of the object which this is the signature of (or the closest approximation, if the object is not written in E), except that the method and matcher bodies have been replaced with UnspecifiedExpr, a new EExpr introduced for this purpose, and the auditors (
implements clause) have been eliminated.
The environment field contains a Scope with bindings for every free noun in the object expr. (These will mostly be guards.)
(REVIEW: This proposal therefore exposes every object mentioned in a parameter list. Is this too hazardous? (MarkM feels that the simple rule of "everything between the braces is public" (i.e. from the { of the object to the { of a method) helps.) Are there practical ways to reduce the potential harm from mentioning authority-bearing objects?)
The supers field lists additional signatures of protocols which this object also implements, such as by
extends, or explicit protocols.
(NOTE: A planned extension is to allow type-parameterized protocols. This will be done by allowing nouns not bound in the env, but bound by a parameter list instead. Such a signature responds to get/N returning a concrete protocol.)
Maker protocol
(XXX there is no way to specify the mirandaSignature.)
asType() :Guard
Returns the Signature guard, which all products of this maker pass.
run(objectExpr :ObjectExpr, env :Scope) :Signature
As run/3 but with the supers field being
run(objectExpr :ObjectExpr, env :Scope, supers :List[Signature]) :Signature
The specification for this message has not been written.
- Signature: getObjectExpr() :ObjectExpr
Accessor; see state description.
- Signature: getEnv() :Scope
Accessor; see state description.
- Signature: getMirandaSignature() :Signature
Accessor; see state description.
- Signature: getSupers() :List[Signature]
Accessor; see state description.
(REVIEW: Should this be a ConstSet instead of a ConstList?)
- Signature: getFQName() :String
Returns the fully-qualified name constructed from the environment's FQN prefix and the object expr's pattern.
(XXX Define the method of construction.)
(REVIEW: This was introduced for legacy compatibility; should it exist, be deprecated, or not exist?)
Returns the object expr's docComment.
(REVIEW: This was introduced for legacy compatibility; should it exist, be deprecated, or not exist?)

Pokémon Movie 13: Zoroark: Master of Illusions
Pokémon Movie 13: Zoroark: Master of Illusions is a movie first released in Japan in 2010 appearing as a sequel to Arceus and the Jewel of Life, and to advertise the new Pokémon Black and White games.
Pokemon Movie 13: Zoroark: Master of Illusions, features a number of legendary Pokémon from Johto such as (Celebi, Raikou, Entei and Suicune).
Basic Synopsis
The main storyline features Ash and the gang looking to get to Crown City to compete in a special Pokémon competition, but they get lost deep in the forest. Soon, they end up running into Zorua who is able to speak to them via telepathy. Ash and friends then decide to help it find its mother, Mima (Zoroark) who is being controlled by Kodai. As the plot becomes revealed more, Kodai is revealed to be able to see into the future, but he has to absorb the effects of the time ripple again like he did 20 years ago as his future-seeing powers are fading.
Soon, Celebi makes its way into town as do Ash and friends with Zorua. Ash and friends end up befriending 2 undercover journalists who are investigating the actions of Kodai. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune then come to the town to take out Zoroark, believing it to be the enemy thanks to Kodai. However, after a massive confrontation, all the Pokemon in town are able to convince the legendary beasts that Zoroark is not the enemy and was forced to do the evil actions by Kodai.
Soon after, Ash is seen trying to get Celebi to the Time Ripple before Kodai reaches them, but Kodai does get within range of them and has his Mismagius use Psychic on Ash, Celebi, and Pikachu and forcing them to watch him repeat the thing he did 20 years ago. This time, however, Zoroark manages to reach the area in time to disrupt the transfer of energy. Dawn frees Ash by having Piplup use Bubblebeam on Mismagius, forcing it to break the hold Psychic had.
Zorua and Zoroark then use their Illusion abilities on Kodai, making him take a harsh fall in the stadium that the special tournament was going to be held as he tries to flee the area. However, Zoroark took too much punishment as it protected young Zorua from Kodai's onslaught and falls to the ground motionless. Zorua uses its Illusion ability again to show Zoroark, along with Ash and the others, their real home.
Seeing this, Celebi then utilizes the powers of the Time Ripple to help revive Zoroark. The next morning, Kodai awakens in the stadium to the TV that's playing all of the events that happened last night and the conversation he had with Ash where he admitted everything(there's journalism for you) Officer Jenny is inside the stadium along with Ash and all the others. The scene then cuts to a boat that the 2 journalists are on along with Zoroark and Ash. Soon though, the real Ash comes up from behind Dawn and Brock, somewhat irritated that Zorua used its Illusion ability to transform into him.
- Zorua and Zoroark are the first Generation V Pokémon to make any kind of anime appearance.
- Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are the first Shiny Pokémon to ever appear in a main movie. They are also the first Shiny Legendary Pokémon to ever appear in the anime.
- This is the final movie in the Diamond & Pearl saga and the only one not to feature any Sinnoh Legendary Pokémon in a main role.
- There is remixed music from Celebi: Voice of the Forest when Celebi makes its first appearance and when it time travels at the end of the movie.
- This is the first movie that Raikou has appeared in where it is in a starring role.
- This is the first movie since The Power of One that didn't feature a World of Pokémon intro at the very beginning.

Training fuel distributors on increased biodiesel blends
Recent balloting efforts to change ASTM D396 to include higher blends of biodiesel, from B6 to B20, are creating the need for further education regarding proper handling and use of blends above 5 percent. Findings from Brookhaven National Laboratory show B20 and lower blends are acceptable for use in existing burners and boilers. Also, many OEMs already approve B20 in their vehicles, for which an ASTM spec was approved several years ago (D7467).
To provide much-needed education for some, and a refresher course for others, a comprehensive webinar, "Getting the Most from Your National Supply Chain from Production to Consumption," has been developed by Paul Nazzaro, the principal at Nazzaro Group and petroleum liaison to the National Biodiesel Board, and Jeff Fetkenhour, president of Gorge Analytical.
To allow for scheduling flexibility, the webinar will be held on four dates over the next two months: April 10, April 17, May 22 and May 29, all beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, scheduled to conclude at 2 p.m.
The webinar is designed to provide clarity to those in the distribution network on the intricacies of blending biodiesel into distillate fuel, Nazzaro tells Biodiesel Magazine. While distributors may be in tune with individual fuel specifications as they stand alone, a knowledge gap may still exist when 5, 10 or 20 percent biodiesel is added. How is cold flow impacted? What about stability? What are good tank management practices? "There's still a lack of clarity on what happens when you bring all of these fuels together into one final product that will be combusted in an engine or oilheat burner," Nazzaro says.
The webinar will reveal how diesel, heating oil and gasoline products are manufactured, stored, blended and shipped to market.
Supply chain management in the petroleum industry contains logistics challenges that don't exist in most other industries—a major influence on the cost of oil and its derivatives. Opportunities for cost savings in logistics, however, still do exist.
Risk managers are charged with the responsibility to ensure their positions are protected, and that the company generates the maximum value out of every barrel acquired, processed and sold. To achieve this, they are trained and continue to educate themselves on all aspects involved.
For those handling fuel and responsible to ensure every gallon that goes through the rack meets or exceeds ASTM specifications, this training event will deliver results. The supply chain is anything but static; every product move necessitates attention so that end-users have a successful experience with the fuel they purchase.
Additional questions that will be raised and answered include:
-What does proper handling look like?
-What does good fuel quality look like?
-What does improper handling look like?
-What are the consequences of improper handling?
-How do you recover from improper handling?
-How do you promote proper handling?
-Does biodiesel feedstock make a difference?
-How do you exist with today's 2 micron filter?
-How long will your fuel stay stabilized, and what can you do to ensure that it does?
-How do you know your fuel will meet low-temperature conditions with confidence?
The webinar will cover a variety of industry issues and it will lay out a comprehensive, but easy-to-follow, 10-step prevention plan to ensure distributors and end-users enjoy the best possible experience with biodiesel.

Overuse injury can happen when you try to take on too much physical activity too quickly. Understand how to pace yourself while getting fit.
Thinking of starting a new physical activity program or ramping up your current training routine? If so, you may be at risk of an overuse injury — which could ultimately prevent you from being active. Find out what can cause an overuse injury and how to safely increase your activity level.
An overuse injury is any type of muscle or joint injury, such as tendinitis or a stress fracture, that's caused by repetitive trauma. An overuse injury typically stems from:
Although an overuse injury can happen to anyone, you may be more prone to this type of injury if you have certain medical conditions. Overuse injuries are also more likely to occur as you get older — especially if you don't recognize the impact aging can have on your body and modify your routine accordingly.
For these reasons, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting a new activity or ramping up your current routine. Your doctor may offer tips to help make physical activity safer for you. If you have a muscle weakness in your hip, for example, your doctor may show you exercises to address the problem and prevent knee pain.
Most overuse injuries are avoidable. To prevent an overuse injury:
Pace yourself. If you're starting a new fitness program, avoid becoming a weekend warrior. Compressing your physical activity for the week into two days can lead to an overuse injury.
Instead, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day. If you don't have time for a full 30 minutes, you can break it down into three 10-minute blocks. It's also a good idea to take time to warm up before physical activity and cool down afterward.
If you suspect that you have an overuse injury, consult your doctor. He or she will likely ask you to take a break from the activity that caused the injury, but you may be able to perform alternative training as long as it does not stress the involved body part.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you've recently made changes in your workout technique, intensity, duration, frequency or types of exercises. Identifying the cause of your overuse injury will help you correct the problem and avoid repeating it.
When you think the overuse injury has healed, ask your doctor to check that you've completely regained strength, motion, flexibility and balance before beginning the activity again. When you return to your activity, pay special attention to proper technique to avoid future injuries.
Don't allow an overuse injury to prevent you from being physically active. By working with your doctor, listening to your body and pacing yourself, you can avoid this common setback and safely increase your activity level.

ARVC Issues Position Statement on Public Parks
September 21, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on ARVC Issues Position Statement on Public Parks
The following is a position statement by National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) President Paul Bambei on the acceptance of public parks as non-voting members.
The purpose of this email is to clarify ARVC's position on its acceptance of public parks as non-voting members.
During a Special Called Board meeting that took place on 6/7/11, permission was granted to pursue a marketing campaign targeted at all non member parks.
The motion that was approved, as excerpted from the minutes of this 6/7 Board meeting that was shared with all BOD members afterwards, read as follows: "5. Request Board approval for remainder of monies from VA building sale (after $300k investment sic,PB) to be allocated with Excom approval for two- phase direct mail membership drive: 1. In states with no formal campground membership organization; 2. Will also work with existing state partnerships on a second direct mail piece to increase memberships in affiliated states and co-operating states or in non affiliated states that may have a formal campground membership organization.
A motion was made to approve the remainder of the monies from the VA building sale to be used as operational funds for the association for 2011. It was seconded and passed."
In essence, permission was granted to market to all non member parks. There was no distinction between publics and privates, because ARVC Bylaws have for many years welcomed public parks, ie Under Section 2, Subsection D. Non Voting Membership: "Public Sector Member shall be a public agency operating a campground, RV park or cabin facility on the federal, state or local level."
This was further reinforced in a 1994 Memorandum of Agreement (to see the agreement click here) between ARVC and the National Association of State Park Directors (NASPD), the same organization we engaged with this past summer when they wanted to take part in the non member free trial. Clearly, the former Chairman of ARVC, Conrad Dumke from Florida, understood the importance of collaboration over dissention back in 1994 and acted to solidify the two organizations.
Given all the above, ARVC has a bound duty to accept public parks as non voting members and for the good of the camping consumer, wants to live by the principles established in that MOA written 17 years ago, the ARVC bylaws, and the Board approval granted 6/7/11.
Today, there are several states enjoying the fruits of collaboration. California, Colorado, Maine, Virginia, and Maryland are among them. Just this past weekend, Mari Garland, co-President of the Colorado Association (CCLOA) and owner of Junction West Campground, enjoyed wonderful overflow business referred by her nearby state parks during a huge wine festival in her home city of Grand Junction, CO, because she decided to work with, not against, the public parks in her state.
However, we know 50 years of poor relations in other states might take time to heal and doesn't happen overnight, if ever. For this reason, we have stated over and over, if your state chooses not to collaborate with public parks, we at ARVC will respect that wish. We will not interfere by inviting public parks as direct members if you are an Affiliated State and do not wish to accept publics, and we will stay out of your business on this sensitive issue. To date, we have received such requests from Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, New York, and Florida. If you wish to be added to this list, please let us know and we will respect your decision totally.
I hope this clarifies ARVC's long-standing position. Regardless of your state's provincial position, what matters most is that we continue to have clear and positive communication on this, and all issues facing our industry.
I look forward to a continued working relationship, communicating always, so that our industry and our Association moves forward for the benefit of all its members.
And now, a final word from ARVC Chairman, David L. Berg:
The private park just up the street that belongs to your state association and/or ARVC is also in direct competition with you, yet there are no issues of them paying dues to your state or national association. Why? Because we are all in the same business, camping. Some private parks have lots of amenities, and some have few, but there is a customer for every type of park. Because you do what you have to do to make your park the very best it can be, and advertise wisely and promote camping and your park. Your goal is filling your sites with happy campers.
If we ignore public parks they are not going to go away, you can be certain of that. Yet, if we continue to allow them in our national association as we have for so many years, we can work together whenever possible, and not only collaborate on promotion of camping, but we can show them where they need to raise their rates to cover all expenses.
This is becoming much easier with the times we are in, in fact, in Rhode Island, they have raised their rates twice in the last two years and are now above that of many private parks due to state budgets being slashed. A site in Rhode Island public parks is now $35 a night plus the $10 booking fee for the first night total cost of $45 for a non resident, and $35 for every night thereafter, and that is for a site with no services! Now that is good for private campgrounds!
States like Maine and others have had all of their state parks as members of their state association for many years. Those parks pay the same exact dues as all of the private parks do. That has provided a great boost for our dues income as well as improving our working relationship. We have partnered on projects and have even had free passes to state park recreations areas (non camping areas) given to all of our private member parks to give to our customers to save them entrance fees.
This working relationship has been a win win situation for us both. We got past the days of old, set aside our differences, and realized that working together for the common goal of promoting camping was good for everybody involved.

Skip to comments.Notable Protestants Defend Marriage
Posted on 06/01/2013 3:06:09 AM PDT by rhema
At the start of May, Union University was graced with the presence of notable evangelical theologians who commented on the issues of homosexuality, marriage, the church, and society. Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore joined the Presbyterian Church (USA)s Robert Gagnon at Unions conference, Salt and Light in the Public Square: Charles Colsons Legacy and Vision.
Russell Moore prominently serves as the Southern Baptist Theological Seminarys departing dean and will soon succeed retiring Richard Land as the president of the Southern Baptist Conventions Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. Commenting on the marriage debate, Moore worried, There are many people in Americaincluding evangelicalswho fear they will be [notorious segregationist] George Wallace, Sr., listening to their children rebuking them for a history thats moving beyond them. He acknowledged three common approaches to address the issue.
Moral Majoritarianism remains the most common approach at the populist level. Moore summarized the position as We are standing with the silent majority of Americans, thus we can move this and sway this politically. One assumes, Most people are like us (made more winsome by the loud yet truly small 1960s counterculture). That kind of language is not helpful [for the marriage debate], Moore contended, because what a Christian view of reality from the beginning is that the state ought not to define marriage at all. The state merely recognizes something that is already existing in nature.
Many American Christians also assume a moral libertarian approach, in which the church hides in the opposite corner Somehow we can find a way to be Christians without engaging such questions at all. Moore reported he has talked to many young pastors of growing churches who share this sympathy. We already tried that with the divorce culture, and how did that work out for you? he quipped, The states attitude towards divorce hasnt only caused social harm but also has influenced people in our religious communities to see marriage in a different way. Moore concluded, Evangelicals have been slow-change sexual revolutionaries Many now wonder if they can be conscientious objectors in the marriage redefinition debate. The SBTS dean believed the Gospel is at stake in this argument. You are not calling sinners to repentance, Moore warned, When we do not speak holistically of (as the Scripture puts it) sin and righteousness and judgment, the people around us know that we are afraid.
Dr. Moore touted an engaged communitarianism as the best response. It isnt arbitrary that marriage functions as an icon for Christs relationship with His Church. Of course, Moore clarified, to see the marriage issue within the context of the Gospel does not discount natural law. Christians do not have to make a choice between two options. Without [marriage], there is a lack of human flourishing, the Southern Baptist leader explained, [There is a view] that we want to keep marriage as a privilege for heterosexual people, and we dont want marriage expanded to other people who want this What we are actually after is the complementarity. Moore graciously advised, Our neighbors are not our opponents. Our neighbors are often primarily afraid of the voice of God, just as we were before our regeneration and conversion They are not uniquely held by the devil We are telling our neighbor, You are not defined by your desires.
Renowned Pittsburgh Theological Seminary professor Robert Gagnon shared a summary of his exhaustive expertise on the homosexuality issue. He boldly announced, A lot of Christians like to play dead on this issue, and that is because there is a price to pay for speaking out clearly on this particular matter. Because, as you know, in this particular society, if you continue to hold to a male-female requirement in sexual ethics as foundational for all other sexual norms, you will be treated as the moral equivalent of a racist, pure and simple. Thats the intent. Gagnon started by claiming that Jesus speech in the nineteenth chapter of St. Matthews Gospel is normative for all sexual behavior. For Jesus, marriage is not just a cultural construct. Its an institution ordained by God God intended for sexual unions to be binary, Gagnon proclaimed. The biblical ideal of complementarity between unlike parts of a whole and monogamy forbids not only homosexuality, but also incest and polygamy, including the serial polygamy in divorce culture. He noted that idolatry and sexual immorality (pornea) are St. Pauls top two concerns in the epistles.
Some evangelicals opine that all sin is of equal offense (which, Gagnon noticed, finds no Scriptural warrant). Since all lust and thus commit adultery of the heart, Christians need to lay off attacks on homosexual behavior. Gagnon, however, pointed out that adultery of the heart means Jesus does not bend the Law for innate urges to do something (quite devastating to LGBT apologists trying to change ecclesiastical sexual standards). Other feckless critics complain that Jesus did not explicitly forbid homosexual acts. Gagnon finds this hermeneutic sadly wanting: I have never heard a pastor preach that you should never have sex with your mother. It is not assumed that you get a free pass, but instead that this is so far beyond the pale, it does not have to be addressed. Faith isnt simply the proclamation of the truth; its a life, the seminarian revealed.
Professor Gagnon continued to explore the themes of marriage in the Genesis account. Highlighting Eves creation from Adams side (or rib), Gagnon illustrated through the Hebrew language that woman is an indivisible part to the once-complete whole. Marriage is a reconstitution of the divided parts of male and female. In this view, incest is bad because it is sexual union with someone who is too much the structurally same. The same dilemma remains for homosexuality: gay or lesbian couples are too much alike in their embodied existence. Gagnon also pointed out that many cutting edge ideas regarding homosexuality (such as orientation) existed even in the ancient world.
The Pittsburgh Seminary instructor encouraged his audience to attend to the example of St. John the Baptist. He said, John the Baptist criticized an autocratic despot in Galilee for sexual misconduct He criticized behavior that he recognized as abhorrent and against the welfare of the society as a whole. Jesus was baptized by this figure. Presumably he shares some agreement with the person from whom He received His baptism.
If nothing else, these scholarly presentations prove that evangelical witness regarding marriage does not fit the stereotype offered in the entertainment and news industry. They are not hypocritical, foolish, or bigoted. Instead, Gagnon and Moore offer level-headed, powerful arguments that find steady footing on firm ground. May their tribe increase.
"That kind of language is not helpful [for the marriage debate], Moore contended, because what a Christian view of reality from the beginning is that the state ought not to define marriage at all. The state merely recognizes something that is already existing in nature. "
Whuff! Someone's been doing some reading. This is an excellent point.
NON CATHOLICS ... not Protestants
it is time for ALL of us — whether Catholic or Lutheran or Baptist or other to defend the definition of marriage civilly and in each others denominations
Not sure what your point is, but I'm pleased to note that my Catholic church was picketed a few years ago by the so-called "Westboro Baptist Church" ("neither Baptist, nor a church, monsieur"). They didn't shout their asinine slogans, they just carried signs with asinine slogans printed on them.
I can't believe you actually said that.
My reply took issue with the word 'protestant' .. which (as YOUR post here clearly identifies with) protesting is rooted in protest and I don't know of a single "protestant" church that has EVER "protested" a Catholic or a Catholic church.
WHY do you use the word "protestant" when we are clearly, non Catholic. ?
It's the word used I'm argueing against ... not the history.
I am not a protestant .. I am not a Catholic.
Touche... Good point.
Yet within a couple years of that he was declaring from the pulpit if your wife wasn't givin you any, sleep with her sister. And declaring the pope was the antichrist because he said you couldn't marry your wife's neice or your adopted sister. He was "still working out his theology" and wondering why the church wouldn't listen to his ideas on "reform".
Ok. Point taken. The word protestant is divisive and offensive. Henceforth the term "Eucharistically Challenged" will be the preferred nomenclature......
I am not a protestant .. I am not a Catholic.
It seems to me to be problematic to describe a faith in terms of what it is not.
I realize we're not there yet, and it doesn't help as regards the article of this thread, but maybe one day it will just be "Christians."
Had I said, "I am not a Catholic, I am a Christian", we would have started WW3.
Why can't you oblique semanticists just accept that people whom are not Catholic, but attend a church, or are of a particular denomination are also not protestant ?
I try to let people determine what they wish to be called relative to this kind of stuff.
I just thought "not Catholic" didn't really help much since it still is in relation to and opposition to Catholic, as is "protestant." Both seem to describe a confession that is defined by or rooted in opposition to... not much difference.
What denominational name do you wish to be called?
I think fundamentalist has the same meaning. Perhaps "Fundamentalist Christian" would be both accurate and easily understood by others.
So .. The Bible is fundamental to being Christian, right ?
I would say so. But the reason I suggested that name is:
-Fundamentalist is generally accepted to mean the same as "biblicist"
- Fundamentalist is more well known and understood than "biblicist"
This assumes that *you* mean the same thing by "biblicist" though; the same meaning that is usually understood.
If you mean only that "Bible is fundamental" then it's really not the same meaning in general usage (which seems a bit odd to me.)
However, if you *don't* mean biblical literalism, then Fundamentalist would not be a good name - because fundamentalism and literalism are taken as the same in meaning.

Atheist Symbol Rejected By Capital One, But Jesus Is Preapproved
Consumerist reader Mike has a Capital One credit card. He'd hoped to get one of the bank's customizable "Image Cards" printed with a big red "A" for atheism. His initial upload was rejected by Capital One, which sent him a long list of possible reasons. And when he called to appeal, things just more bizarre.
The first person Mike spoke with said they had no idea why it was rejected and submitted his appeal.
Then the image was rejected a second time.
"I spoke to someone after the second rejection that someone there said that there was a note in my file regarding the fact that they do not allow religious or anti-religious images," Mike tells Consumerist.
And yes, far down that list of possible reasons for rejecting a card, CapOne does list "Controversial subject matter such as political or religious statements and/or images."
But why, Mike asks, does the card-making interface on Capital One's own website have 34 photos in a category it labels "Spiritual" and which includes several options to put Christian and Jewish imagery on your card?
There are also categories like "Patriotic" and "Holidays" that likely contain images one could deem as political or religious.
"When I asked about the Spiritual section, the man responded that he didn't have access to the gallery so he couldn't comment on it," Mike tells Consumerist. "He also mentioned that the rules are handed down to them from VISA and Mastercard and that this latest appeal was final."

From the outside looking in, Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes seemed to have a healthy relationship, but obviously, that wasn't the case.
One source who knows the couple said the reason their split came as a surprise is because so few people knew the details of their marriage.
"Sam and Kate aren't about doing excessive press, they didn't live a life that was interesting to the tabloids," the source said. "So when things started to take a turn for the worse, they were able to keep it private."
According to a report from Us Weekly, the couple's relationship was under strain when the two worked on "Revolutionary Road" together in 2007.
"Sam told friends Kate would talk about the film the moment they woke up, and it was overbearing," according to a source who spoke to Us.
The magazine goes on to report that when Mendes took time off in 2009 to be with the family, things got worse, not better. "They went stir crazy and argued more than ever," according to Us.
The final straw? Winslet agreed to shoot the miniseries "Mildred Pierce" in New York City, while Mendes wanted to stay in their native U.K. According to magazine's source, the differing opinion about the direction of their careers was apparent, and "they decided it was over."
'Addicted' shows unique perspective
With the number of celebrity deaths attributed to various addictions, and the spate of addiction-related television programming on television, it might seem as if there's not space for another show in the genre.
Not so: TLC's "Addicted," which premieres Wednesday, is a fresh look at the problem. The show follows the lives of not just the person struggling with addiction as well as their families as they work with Kristina Wandzilak, an expert on intervention and drug addiction.
Wandzilak, whose own addiction resulted in her becoming estranged from her family and homeless, wants the series to show addicts that there is hope.
"Addicts get a bad rap," she said. "It's true, we don't do delightful things: I robbed houses. But there are millions of us everywhere. I want to intervene on the shame connected to addiction. It's the shame, the keeping it all secret, that kills people. The more professionals can be out there talking about addiction, the closer we come to decriminalizing addiction and pointing out that there's hope and there's help, and recovery happens. "
Although "Addicted" follows Wandzilak as she participates in interventions with the non-famous, she has experience working with addicted celebrities and recognizes a difference between the two groups.
"When you're intervening with a celebrity, you're intervening on a small industry," Wandzilak said. She points out that agents, managers and publicists are on the front lines of the intervention, and the star's family is rarely very involved. "And that's why (so many addicted) celebrities die," she said.
Madonna puts the boy in boyfriend
Madonna is making room in her life for another male companion who is young enough to be her son. The latest is 25-year-old model Adam Senn.
Madonna showed up with Senn, a Dolce & Gabbana model who has also appeared on "The City," at a party for celebrity photographer Tom Munro in L.A. on March 6.
"She arrived with Adam from the back (entrance) and sat in the VIP area," an onlooker told In Touch Weekly. "At one point, she got up and started dancing, and he was grabbing her waist and touching her butt. She turned around and gave him a lap dance and he looked like the happiest guy in the world."
But Madge was keen on keeping her new beau under wraps, according to the source. "She made sure no photos were taken."

Extreme dating dvd
Well, the video and sound quality of the third Extreme has taken a jump in quality. The surf and sea breeze still lend additional natural energy, but Weber's voice and the driving rock pound home the message as distinctly as you could ever want!
Each chapter has a brief written intro about the exercises to minimize talking at the beginning of each workout. There is a countdown timer in the lower right corner of the screen so when the going gets tough, you know that you know how much longer you have to push yourself until you get a break.
I've done his other two dvd's and thought I'd be ready for this one.
Boy was I wrong the first three chapters alone left me an out of breath sweaty heap on the floor.
Extreme 3 is the Marriage of Heaven and Hell—the blissful anguish of pushing yourself into that special realm where agony bonds with ecstasy… This means twice the workload, in shorter segments, for a shorter overall workout duration than the previous Extremes.
Because of the higher intensity, of course, you will still be screaming for mercy well before the workouts' official end.
Part of the charm of the first two Extremes was the rough-and-ready production values.

Being an educator takes more than a degree. It takes commitment, compassion and resolve. Future teachers and human services professionals from the University of Houston College of Education will hear of the inspiring life work of a man whose commitment and compassion helped him change countless lives.
"First Lecture," the signature event of the college, welcomes Eric Greitens, decorated veteran and former Navy SEAL, to discuss his inspirational life journey and his organization "The Mission Continues," a nonprofit group dedicated to challenging veterans to serve and lead in communities.
This year's event, themed "Change the World. Mission: Possible," is planned for 10 a.m., Friday, Aug. 24 at the UH Cullen Performance Hall. The event is open to the college's students, staff and faculty.
"As a Rhodes scholar and Oxford graduate, Eric Greitens could have been whatever he wanted, but the fact that he committed his life to public service and humanitarian work demonstrates the importance of such a life," said Robert McPherson, dean of the college. "Our students are entering the often underappreciated fields of education and human services. It's important to remind them and our community they are showing real courage by working to improve lives. It's the highest level of achievement."
Greitens is CEO of The Mission Continues, a nonprofit organization he began with funds from his combat pay from his Iraqi deployments. Now a Senior Fellow at the Truman School of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri and Olin School of Business in Washington University in St. Louis, Greitens also is the author of the best-selling book "The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL."
First Lecture began in fall 2011 as a way to usher in the new academic year positively and with inspiration. The inaugural event featured award-winning educator John Hunter, creator or The World Peace Game, which challenged students and teachers to find creative solutions to real issues.

A Sandwich a Day: Burmese Coconut Curry with Pork at Soulwich
Reviews of Chicago sandwiches.
Editor's Note: I am so pleased to introduce you all to Amber Gibson. The Northwestern University journalism student is going to help us increase our Evanston coverage, starting with this review of Soulwich. Take it away, Amber!
Soulwich in Evanston specializes in Southeast Asian-inspired sandwiches—think bánh mì with a twist. All sauces are made in-house, and there are eight different sandwiches ranging from wasabi teriyaki to sesame chili tuna. I love a small menu where each option is truly excellent, which is definitely the case here. That being said, my favorite sandwich of all is the Burmese coconut curry with pork ($7.75 with one side).
Tips and tricks for making the best sandwiches at home.
Many of the sandwiches at Soulwich come with a choice of protein: steak, chicken, pork or seitan for vegetarians. The owners (and I) recommend pork as the most tender and juicy of your options. Raw carrots, daikon, cucumber and cilantro add necessary crunch to the soft, moist pork, and sturdy Labriola bread soaks up the curry sauce. Considering how many toppings they pile on, it's impressive that the bread holds up so well. The coconut curry isn't spicy in the least, but the thick, creamy sauce will have you licking your fingers after your last bite.
For a side, pick between chips or Asian-style coleslaw sans mayo. Wash down any sandwich with coconut water, or my favorite, the housemade pomegranate lemonade.

Do you or should you use such phrases and words despite being Atheist? I'm not sure, but I am very guilty of using them anyways, mainly cause of the culture I grew up with in the US. A smidgen of me enjoys knowing that it is meaningless to me but pokes at the offending religion that is Christianity. I really should be a better person and just drop them from my vocabulary completely, yet I have the thought that it would just look like I am justifying or giving power to that religion over me. Your thoughts?

I see nothing wrong with getting a bit of amusement at their expense compared to the acts committed by Christians to non believers over the centuries who cares if they are offended.
Next thing you know people will get angry for making fun of leprechauns or unicorns.
Dont you dare take Hobbit name in vain! lol
You are going too far, disrespecting hobbits. Some things ARE sacred.
I would be more likely to believe in the existence of short people with hairy feet than a bearded dude in the sky .
Hell if i want to see a short person with hairy toes I can call my ex wife.
I'm a linguist by training, and I did a blog post on this subject. Basically, I'm OK with occasionally using "God" in expostulations ("goddamn it!"), though I've devolved much of the curse-work to his son, in many variations -- "Jesus!", "Jesus Christ!," "Jesus H. (or fucking) Christ!," etc. What I do avoid is anything that implies God's personhood or agency, e.g., "God willing," "God forbid."
I especially urge atheists not to call on God during sexual excitement and orgasm. Train yourself to replace it with the name of the person giving you the pleasure, because that's who deserves it, not God.
I tend to see it differently. I don't think it conveys any confirmation that there is a god. To me it is no more than saying "Oh, Mickey Mouse!"..just words expressing frustration, etc. I guess we all use them because it has been ingrained in us. When I am extremely angry and am meaning to express it fully to the other party "GD" gets it across to them how I feel. Because, to them, that is the ultimate bad word..no way for them to guess what I mean. Sometimes it opens up another conversation, since they cannot believe someone would say those words. Then I get to explain to them that there is no god and that it really means nothing to blespheme his/her/its name. Which scares them even more. Haha.
I also tend to use "Jesus" alot..but, I use the spanish pronunciation. haha. Sometimes even add "Cristo" to it..
Another one that annoysm e is people's insistence on say "GOD Bless you" when someone sneezes. I always heard it as "Bless you"..bit now everyone has to emphasize "GOD" in it. A few years ago I was flying for busisness..US Airways I believe...and one of the flight attendants said "bless you " when a passenger sneezed. He went on to those of us nearby that the company had let them all know that they were not to say "god bless you" anymore. Being all PC yano. I hate PC. I don't believe in god, but if you insist on saying it, it is not going to offend me. I am just going to roll my eyes and think you are trying too hard. I have noticed in my local grocery store that the cashiers have gone to saying "have a blessed day"..which I guess is okay because it is not really indicating that there is a god that has to bless me..just that it be lessed in some fashion. I generally chalk all of that up to ignorance. I am in the South so it is hard to get away from it.
Sneezing and saying 'bless you' is kind of an off shoot of this, I still say bless you definitely wish to make the sneezer feel at ease for sneezing since they couldn't help it and it is like a kind of an acknowledgement that they aren't being rude. Humans are weird like this. Penn Jillette wrote in his book "God No!" that he taught his kids to say "That's funny!" every time someone sneezes. I don't think that's polite to do even though ....it is funny, it just comes off as rude.
'Christ on a crutch' is one of my favourite curse words to use thanks to my ex.
Yes, I too say "bless you" when I hear a sneeze for a couple of reasons.
The sneezer expects to hear it so I need to say it in order to be sociable.
And if the people listening hear an atheist saying a polite blessing, they might start to wonder a little bit about atheism.
I guess we could give it to the theists to come up with good curse words, I don't think we Atheists could do better really, it would just come out silly saying 'Darwin IT!!'
I did a blog post on this back on June 17. I invite everyone to read it if you haven't.

The Lasik operation can be a terrific, life-altering option for lots of people whose vision is less than ideal. There are numerous various types of Lasik operations now offered, from the original and well documented procedure to Lasik procedures done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done entirely with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik procedure ought to be discussed with the physician that is to carry out the operation.
Like any surgical treatment, Lasik does have the capacity for negative effects.
Often checking out the horror stories of the outcomes of a Lasik procedure can deter individuals from seriously thinking about such a choice. It is also true that the vast numbers of people who have a effective, trouble-free Lasik surgical treatment tend not to report a detailed and long story of their experience, unlike those that have actually experienced difficulty later.
Nevertheless, it is good to know exactly what the possible negative effects of the Lasik procedure are, and also the likelihood that one of these side effects will occur for a particular client. Similar to any medication we take, each has a possible number of negative effects, however we usually presume that the possibility of a major adverse effects is small, and we take the medicine anyhow. This short article will hopefully put concerns of the potential Lasik client into point of view so that they can calmly and attentively consider having a Lasik treatment done in the future.
More than one million Lasik treatments are done in the United States every year, inning accordance with the FDA. This arm of the national federal government has actually accumulated the following stats for the most typical side effects of the Lasik procedure. These data will also vary by the doctor carrying out the surgery, so ensure to obtain as much details on the prospective Lasik physician as possible.
After his comment is here Lasik surgery, 1.7 percent of clients experience some glare or level of sensitivity to light after the operation. This varies by patient, but this level of sensitivity is especially noticeable when looking at a brilliant light, such as a streetlight when strolling at night, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related adverse effects is a halo around a light, and this takes place in 3.5 percent of Lasik clients.
The brand-new, remedied vision can be noticed quickly by some Lasik patients, in as little as a few hours after surgery. A lot of clients that have actually undergone the Lasik procedure find the change is long-term within a few days. In 2.6 percent of clients that have had a Lasik procedure done, there is persistent visual fluctuation within at least a part of their sphere of vision.
Lastly, some clients do not get go right here a totally remedied sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment. This happens with a small number of customers, and the FDA stats are that only 3 percent of patients have this effect. In all or nearly all cases, the doctor in charge will perform an additional Lasik procedure to enhance this.
This detailing of the significant long-term side effects of the Lasik procedure need to put any individual horror stories into perspective. Notification that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this must bring comfort to the majority of potential Lasik clients. It needs to also encourage them to look thoroughly at the Lasik doctor's personal record.
There are numerous different types of Lasik operations now offered, from the initial and well documented treatment to Lasik procedures done with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers.
