The best protection against arc blast is "don't be there." This, however, isn't always possible. The next best precaution is to minimize your exposure (do as much as possible outside the hazardous area) and wear the proper PPE.
You may need to wear protective sleeves, a blast suit, or other protective clothing. Don't fall into the trap of asking, "What can I get by with?" Instead, ask what you must do to protect yourself against the highest energy hazard available in this location.
- Thoroughly assess the situation before making PPE decisions.
- Avoid "calculation obsession." Protection calculations determine the minimum protection. You aren't required to downgrade protection to fit those calculations.
- Remember that there is always enough time to perform the proper safety analysis prior to commencing work. You may not get a second chance.

Try to rely on any recognized scripture of definitive meaning if you want to compare the perspective
of sutras with dzogchen tantra.
The sutra in question is part of the Ratnakuta collection. We already discussed this -- we don't agree what "sutras of the definitive meaning" are and there is no agreement on this point between yogacara and madhyamaka either.

Skyhook's complaint basically comes down to this (quoted from the complaint): "Google publicly represents Android as open source and pro-innovation, then unfairly uses its exclusive oversight of the platform to force OEMs to use Google Location Service". You can't get much more straightforward than that - props to Skyhook for being this clear in a legal document (although there is a pretty severe grammar mistake in there - cookie if you can find it).
Skyhook's claim is that Andy Rubin himself issued a "stop ship" order to Motorola and 'Company x' (likely Samsung) when it found out that their upcoming Android phones (the Droid X and - likely - the Galaxy S line) would use Skyhook's technologies instead of Google Location Services. According to Skyhook, Google stated that using Skyhook's technologies would make the devices incompatible with Android.
A little background: Android devices need to pass two tests to be declared Android compatible (and therefore, gain access to the Android Market and select other Google services). The first test is the Compatibility Test Suite, a software-based test platform. Little meddling Google can do with this one.
The second test is subjective, and is done entirely by Google's own engineers. Android devices and their software are reviewed based on the Compliance Definition Document, a set of dos and don'ts regarding the device and its software. According to Skyhook, this is the problematic part of the compatibility test, and the means by which Google applies its pressure on OEMs.
"This entirely subjective review, conducted solely by Google employees with ultimate authority to interpret the scope and meaning of the CDD as they see fit, effectively gives Google the ability to arbitrarily deem any software, feature or function 'non-compatible' with the CDD," Skyhook states in its claim.
Unlike some, I took a look at this document, and in all honesty, it all looks rather straightforward. It literally is a simple list of what you can and cannot do; considering Skyhook is arguing that Google uses this document to strongarm OEMs, I expected it to be vague, full of obtuse legalese that can be interpreted in ten different ways.
None of that, however - even I, as a non-developer, can clearly understand this document. The requirements set forth in this document are not only pretty clear and understandable, they're also remarkably easy-going at times. Even core Android applications like the Dialler, the Camera, the Browser, and so on, may be replaced by alternatives.
Then there's this other strange thing about the CDD. Skyhook claims that the CDD can be interpreted however Google wants so they can use it to arbitrarily declare devices incompatible. However, the CDD has absolutely nothing to say about location services, so I'm wondering how Skyhook can use the CDD in its argument!
Worse yet - Verizon is shipping Android devices without Google search even present as an option, opting to use Bing instead! Just as the CDD has nothing to say about location services, it also has nothing to say about which web search engine is installed, or which one is used by default. Do you really think Google would allow Android phones to ship without Google Search, while giving two donkeys about what location services are in use?
You'd think no, but this is where it gets really, really interesting. This part of the filing is overlooked by just about any analysis that I've read, yet I think this is maybe the single-most important point in the entire filing.
Skyhook claims in the filing that Google was okay with Android devices shipping with Skyhook's XPS location services, as long as Google's own Location Services were running alongside it. "Google knew that if its Google Location Service is collecting local data, on the same device at the same time as XPS, that will enable Google to collect more and better location data because of Skyhook's accuracy and precision," Skyhook claims in the filing.
In other words, Skyhook is claiming that Google tried to make it so that it could benefit from Skyhook's location data - incredibly valuable data if you're an advertisement company such as Google. This is the core aspect of this entire case, yet most people overlook it in their lust for sensation (ANDROID IS CLOSED ZOMGWTFBBQ).
This leaves us with one mystery yet to solve: if Google can't use the CDD to force Motorola and Company X to use Google Location Service - what else could it be using as leverage?
To answer this question, you need to understand one thing about Android. While it is open source, it also sports an optional set of Google applications that are not. These applications, like Maps and Gmail, fall under a different agreement and set of requirements that OEMs need to agree to. This includes access to the Android Market as well. Sadly, this agreement and set of requirements remain a secret until this day, so we simply don't know if e.g. a requirement for Google Maps is that it needs to use Google Location Service.
It would seem, however, that location services are not an aspect of these requirements, and Skyhook itself provides the evidence for that. First, both Motorola and Company X told Skyhook that after reviewing the agreements with Google, they concluded they could replace Google Location Service with Skyhook's XPS. Second, Skyhook points out that other Android devices have shipped with a different location service than Google's.
This means either of two things: Skyhook is lying, or the Apps/Market agreement is secret for a reason - they're vague, and allow Google to arbitrarily declare devices incompatible if it suits their interests. Because Skyhook is focussing on the CDD as Google's leverage, and not the secret Apps/Market agreement, it is likely to assume Skyhook has no access to the latter either.
As such, Skyhook is pretty much forced to throw everything on the CDD, since it cannot make any hard claims about an agreement it doesn't have access to. In doing so, however, they make one big mistake in their filing that Google will likely pick up on in their counterargument: they claim the CDD governs whether or not applications gain access to the Android Market. This is clearly false, as this is governed by the secret agreement. The CDD has nothing to say about access to the market at all.
All in all, I get the impression that Skyhook sees the writing on the wall. They already lost Apple in the mobile space, since they developed their own location services. Google has done the same, and I'm sure Microsoft is not far behind. This leaves Skyhook in a sticky situation, and as we all know - if you can't compete, litigate.
However, that is a rather simplistic view and ignores the fact that Google is a very big company, and by rule, big companies do bad things. I certainly wouldn't put it past Google to do the things described in Skyhook's claim - it's just that Skyhook's claim isn't particularly convincing.
I am dying to see Google's response to this.

I have been waiting for this one. There have been hints in the news, then announcements that announcements were to be forthcoming, and finally there are pictures and stories and everything: a huge Anglo-Saxon gold hoard has been found! This past July, in a farmer's field, by a metal-detecting enthusiast, Terry Herbert.
I have used a metal detector a grand total of once, years ago. A friend had made one from a kit, I think, and had planned to make a living (that summer, anyway) walking up and down the beach and finding buried car keys, watches, and other things that tourists would gladly pay him lots of money for. I don't think anything actually ever came of it. My friend gave up too quickly. Mr. Herbert, on the other hand, has been at this for 18 years! I would love to know what sorts of things he has found in that time, to keep him going.
But back to July's find. Over 5 kg of gold, over 2.5 kg of silver, and seemingly all of it significant. The metalwork is superb, and the collection large enough to suggest that this belonged to someone of real importance. It includes the gold decorations from sword hilt plates and pommel caps, buttons, cheek plates (or at least one) from a helmet, armbands, crosses, and more (check out the slide show at that link--I don't know how to link to it directly. Most stunning to me is the photo of a couple of pieces of the treasure sitting on the surface of the field, having been plowed up by the farmer. Just sitting there. Beautiful, historical, ancient, gold). It appears to be primarily if not totally a male collection; trophies from battles (one, or several?), as described in Beowulf. The collection includes "boxes and boxes" of items, literally hundreds of individual pieces. Many, I am sure, would have been significant finds by themselves; taken together, this is staggering.
Terry Herbert took his gear
And set out for the field;
He had his hopes, but no idea
Of what the day would yield.
For eighteen years, he'd searched for coins
Through rolling hill and fold,
When in the field of a farmer friend
This summer, he found gold.
The largest Anglo-Saxon hoard
To date, is what he found.
Five kilograms of gold, and more,
Lay buried in the ground.
Gold fittings from the hilts of swords
Inlaid with precious stones
The trophies of a battle?
There are still a few unknowns.
As treasure, art, and history,
This find is just immense.
The Queen, by law, now owns it,
Though she'll pay a recompense.
And Mr. Herbert's place is sealed
In the annals of collectors;
Me? I'm investing in whoever sells
His brand of metal detectors.

Don't they use 6-row for their mashes? Lots of enzymes there, that could make a difference whether you are adding some back or not.
I mashed my Mocha Mild for NHC at 162. It started at 1.036 and ended at 1.022. It wasn't cloying like I was worried with that low level of attenuation. However, it had great body. I intend on using this level of high mashing for a lot of my session beers from now on.

BUENOS AIRES (MarketWatch) -- Argentine maritime workers plan to boycott U.K. flagged ships in the latest chapter of an escalating dispute between the two nations over the contested Falkland Islands, according to a top union official.
Diplomatic tensions between Argentina and the U.K. over the sovereignty of the Falklands, known as the Malvinas in Spanish, have risen sharply in recent weeks. Last week, Argentina made an official complaint to the United Nations to protest what it has described as the U.K.'s militarization of the islands.
The complaint comes after the U.K. said it was sending a warship to patrol the South Atlantic and that Prince William had begun a stint as a search and rescue pilot on the Falklands. The U.K. has described both deployments as routine.
Starting Tuesday at midnight local time, trade union SOMU will cease to provide services to U.K. vessels as well as those of other nations hired by U.K.-based shipping companies, secretary general Omar Suarez said.
"As workers we are totally offended by... the militarization of the South Atlantic," he said in an interview.
SOMU represents sailors, cooks and other workers serving on ships in Argentine waters.
Suarez said the measure has the support of Argentina's transportation union umbrella group CATT, whose members include SOMU as well as air and railroad unions.
In a statement widely cited by local media Tuesday, CATT said it had decided to boycott U.K. vessels to protest the U.K.'s "militarist pretension" in the disputed islands.
CATT secretary general Omar Viviani wasn't immediately available for comment.
Dock workers union SUPA still hasn't decided whether to join the boycott. Its participation hinges on whether Argentina's largest trade union confederation, CGT, gives the nod, a union official said.
"We are with the CGT. What the CGT decides, we follow," said the SUPA official, who expects the CGT to make a decision early Friday.
Disruptions to trade with the U.K. might backfire on Argentina, which enjoyed a trade surplus of $269 million with the U.K. in 2010.
Argentina has long demanded the return of the Falklands, which have been under British control since the early 1830s, as well as South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in the South Atlantic. The two nations fought a brief but bloody war for control of the islands in 1982 that ended in a crushing defeat for Argentina.
The U.K. has repeatedly said it will defend the islanders right to self-determination.
Argentine President Cristina Kirchner has enjoyed some success in her efforts to diplomatically and economically isolate the Falklands, whose inhabitants are overwhelmingly of British descent.
In December, the South American trade block, Mercosur, closed its ports to Falkland flagged vessels. Some Caribbean countries have since joined the Mercosur embargo.
Concerns have also grown that Argentina might act on past threats to block the only regular commercial flight to the Falklands, operated by LAN Airlines SA LFL, -4.07% which flies through Argentine airspace from Chile.
Argentina has become more vocal in its demands of sovereignty following the start of offshore oil and gas exploration near the islands by London-listed Falkland Oil & Gas Ltd. (FOGL.LN), Rockhopper Exploration PLC (RKH.LN) and Desire Petroleum PLC (DES.LN) in 2010.
Oil production could prove a boon for the Falkland Islands government, whose main source of revenue are fisheries licenses sold to companies eager to fish the rich waters surrounding the islands.

Buried Threat: Military Tests Device to Find Unexploded Bombs
December 8, 2011
Millions of unexploded bombs made in America remain a dangerous worldwide threat waiting to be defused. In the most extreme case, Laos became the most bombed country in the world per capita when U.S. planes dropped more than 2 million tons of explosives on it during the Vietnam War—and as many as 30 percent of the bombs did not explode. Now the U.S. military has funded new technology that can better track buried threats from past wars.
Any battlefield cleanup using metal detectors faces the problem of detecting any old buried metallic object, rather than just unexploded bombs. Even the U.S. military has found itself spending 90 to 95 percent of efforts digging up nonexplosive metals during cleanups of test ranges. As a solution, it has invested in electromagnetic induction technology that detects magnetic field signatures from buried explosives.
"They started thinking about using more sophisticated technology to eliminate the problem," said Fridon Shubitidze, an engineer at Dartmouth. "The goal is to dig up all the explosives — 100 percent — and leave behind 75 percent of the clutter."
The hidden dangers of unexploded ordnance stretch far beyond Southeast Asia to include explosives fired or dropped by militaries everywhere. German bomb experts defused two of the largest unexploded bombs ever found from World War II after evacuating 45,000 citizens last week. Almost 12 million unexploded artillery shells remain buried in the World War I killing grounds near Verdun, France. The U.S. itself has about 11 million acres, including military practice ranges, holding possible buried threats.
To tackle the problem, Shubitidze and his Dartmouth colleagues have created computer algorithms capable of sorting through the low-frequency electromagnetic signatures of buried explosives — making use of even weak signals. They also plan to help upgrade the electromagnetic induction (EMI) detectors being rolled out by companies such as Geometrics, based in Silicon Valley....
...The U.S. Department of Defense gave a Project-of-the-Year award to the Dartmouth researchers for their detection efforts during the 2011 Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium & Workshop held in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 29. It also gave the team a $1.4 million grant for a new three-year effort to boost detection of smaller and deeper-buried explosives....

Franciscan Community of Reconciliation
The Franciscan Community of Reconciliation is a community that embraces the spirit and commitment to the Gospels of Francis and Clare of Assisi and Charles of Brazil. These holy Saints in answering God's call, recognized the need to initiate reform in the church, seek social justice, embrace the poor and reconcile to the church those who were no longer welcome. We are non-Roman Catholic and are affiliated with the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America (CACINA.org). We do not discriminate again age, gender or sexual orientation. We tend to be viewed as a rather "liberal" order among the religious communities of the world.
-People who are interested in pursuing a vocation to the Franciscan way of life and may wish to join our community.
-Members of our Franciscan parishes.
-Those who have felt alienated by organized, institutional religions.
-Catholics who have difficulty with the Vatican and certain church teachings.
The colors of our habit would be a natural color scheme. The habit is grey in color. Friars wear a white rope around their waste and a silver crucifix that hangs on a red cord.
There are a number of "Franciscan" symbols that can be incorporated. You can see some here (although the Tau cross is a poor representation): http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atl…mbols.html
The logo should be contemporary and elegant. Simple yet memorable and distinctive.
Final format should be available in vector format as well as JPG, GIF, TIFF and PNG.

Back at it this week, with Raiders' OTA's scheduled Tuesday through Thursday.
If form holds, the media window will be Wednesday (awaiting confirmation), with the Raiders opting for the NFL minimum of availability rather than build on a what has been a very good offseason in terms of positive vibes.
UPDATE: Indeed, media availability will be four of the next five Wednesdays _ May 19 and 26 followed by June 9 and 16.
A couple of items until then:
— Lane Kiffin's interview with HBO's "Real Sports" airs Tuesday. Haven't seen an advance copy, but the Orange County Register reported Kiffin denied he was insubordinate and CNN-SI's Peter King had a Kiffin quote regarding Al Davis and the coach's defense about leaving Tennessee after a single season in his "Monday Morning Quarterback" column.
"How many Raiders coaches ended real great? It's all Al Davis. He's gonna run the whole thing. What's going to happen is whatever he feels like that day," Kiffin said.
Contrast that approach with how Tom Cable described working with Davis following the draft.
"When I first got this job, one of the things I asked him to do was teach me (the business side of it), free agency, putting a team together through the draft," Cable said. "We're connecting that way, and it's a good thing. The field stuff, the coaching, that is easy for me. That's what I've always done. But there's another whole side of this that's just as important. That's where as an organization, we're able to do it together."
Cable may not ultimately succeed, and we'll have a good indication it's a lost cause the moment Sebastian Janikowski lines up for a 76-yard field goal attempt (not that he'd be insubordinate in any way). If the offense improves, and the Raiders still struggle in terms of wins and losses, Hue Jackson could be next man up.
But Cable is operating in a way that gives him something Kiffin didn't want _ a chance. You either look to succeed and survive or look to get out. So far, both Cable and Kiffin got what they wanted.
— Is this supposed to be tongue-in-cheek and I'm too clueless to get it?
In Mike Lombardi's weekly Sunday column he writes "According to sources I've talked to in the NFL, former Raiders first-round pick JaMarcus Russell apparently is running out of options. Cincinnati isn't interested, and several teams are exploring the possibility of Russell playing another position. Russell needs to be more proactive to get back in the NFL, and if that means turning to the CFL, he must explore that option. Waiting for his phone to ring from an NFL team is not going to happen."
Playing another position?
Putting aside the jokes about Russell playing nose tackle or on the offensive line, what other position could he possibly play and exactly how long are these teams spending on someone whose sole strength at present is a strong throwing arm at a position other than quarterback?
— Lots of angry reaction on Ice Cube's "Straight Outta LA," the ESPN "30 for 30" film on the rapper's youth and the influence of the Los Angeles Raiders.
Growing up in the East Bay during the Raiders' Oakland glory years, my own point of view was expressed much better in HBO's "Rebels of Oakland," the documentary about the championship seasons of the A's and Raiders. That doesn't mean it wasn't interesting to see things from a different frame of reference.
Most striking _ the Los Angeles Raiders represented style over substance, attitude over production. The Oakland Raiders were true iconoclasts, quirky individualists who became a team every Sunday.
Davis was right in that he'll ultimately be judged by history, and make no mistake _ if the Raiders actually turn things around, considering the change in media since they last won anything _ he'll be a bigger story than he ever was while presiding over three Super Bowl champions and railing against the perceived injustices of the NFL.

Newton Farms hosts Guardsmen on a mission to help others
LAKEVILLE — Newton Farms spent Monday helping some National Guards-men make the world a little better place.
Starting at 8 a.m. 13 members of the 3-19th ADT – a National Guard Team scheduled for deployment in Afghanistan – became goat farmers for the day at Newton Farms. Their education, under the expert guidance of Jerry Gorka, Farm Manager for Newton Farms, was to let the Guardsmen gain some experience into the life of a goat farmer.
Commander of the team, Lt. Colonel Robert Millsaps – who has his own horse farm in North Carolina – was thankful for first hand experience for his team headed to a very unique mission in Afghanistan.
"We are the third AgriBusiness team of the Indiana National Guard, our mission is to assist the farmers and folks involved in agribusiness in the Khost province of Afghanistan in improving their yields and agricultural techniques so they can have a better way of life," he said. "They (Afghanis) are good farmers to begin with but they are basically subsisting right now. We want to help them have something to take to market. Most people have goats and sheep in the villages of Afghanistan and that's why we're here today. The assistance the folks at Newton Farms have given us today is invaluable. You can read about it in a book all you want but until you've done it it's very hard to go out and train an agricultural agent to do it."
The members of the unit come from widely different backgrounds — there is a juvenile courts judge from Marion County, a nurse from Brown County, and a helicopter repair specialist – but the one thing they have in common is an agricultural background. That and a desire to see the team complete its mission of helping the Afghan people have a better way of life.
One member of the unit has been to Afghanistan before — in a combat position — and is anxious to return. Staff Sergeant Alexander Purdue from Nashville is hoping to help the people that he helped liberate in his last tour.
"The first time around it was totally different than what we're doing now," he said. "I actually did enjoy the country it's very pretty over there with the snow in the mountains. It's a really pretty country in spite of everything that's going on.
"I'm the bee keeper and pest manager in the team this time around. Personally my goal this time is to help the agricultural agents teach pest management and bee keeping the best I can. I hope we can teach the Afghani people how to produce more honey, money and everything they need for their families to better their way of life."
The team also will have a very special outreach to women in their province.
"The most interesting aspect of our team may be the women's outreach project," said Millsaps. "Currently women are second class citizens in Afghanistan. They aren't even allowed out of the house without the full dress you see. We want to make them aware of their ability to be productive and add value to the family. They can produce something of value that can be sold at a market, whether it be textiles, vegetables and thus increasing their educational level to realize their overall value to the community."

as well as schools and community groups, to deliver digital resources that
promote the heritage and culture of Wales on the Web.
Culturenet Cymru is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, which is
based within The National Library of Wales. Although Culturenet Cymru works
closely with The National Library of Wales, it exists to serve the needs of the
whole heritage sector in Wales.
The target audience is web users in general. When we meet members of th
public at outreach events, they will be referred to the Culturenet website fo
more information on our projects and activities. These are most likely to be
interested in the content of our websites rather than the digitisation process
(eg striking digital images, audio recordings, etc).
We are also targeting individuals and organisations that are interested in
digitising items of their own. For these stakeholders, they will need to be ab
to identify the resources that are of use to them as quickly and easily as
possible. They may also be interested to know about the range of our

D-ID (Denim Identity)
Quilting from a leather menswear jacket inspired the distinctive diamond stitching that is the signature of D-ID, or Denim Identity, the new line designer Jimmy Taverniti debuted last month.
"The whole print trend is slowing down, but the customer still wants [something] novel. This is a new way of doing a print that is a little more sophisticated," says Shane Markland, D-ID sales director, who also oversees much of the brand's marketing and has worked for clothiers Goldsign, Notify and Current/Elliott.
The textural diamond stitching is applied to jeans with light and dark washes, waxed coating and one faux leather style, as well as classic jean and moto jackets, which top off the line.
New denim: An article about new jeans collections in the Aug. 25 Image section said the name of the creator-designer of McGuire Denim is Melissa McGuire. Her name is Marianne McDonald. —
Originally from France, Taverniti's first collection was J. Taverniti; his designs have a European aesthetic, yet he has always been heavily influenced by American vintage style and developed new vintage washing effects.
"He kind of invented the use of the garment-dying process in denim, like over-dyed grays and over-dyed blues," says Markland.
Crafted of Italian and Japanese fabrics, half of the D-ID line is made in Los Angeles and half in Asia. "The complicated styles [quilted] are done in Asia, and the basics are made in L.A," Markland says. "If we did these in the U.S., a $180 jean would become a $350 jean. We use the same fabrics; it's just the actual production that is done there."
The best-selling jeans so far are the skinny ankle, biker and moto styles — the black quilted Moto jean has been selling out, so expect more moto styles to come. New coatings will be added for holiday. Also coming in the spring are shorts, beat-up washes, more jackets and a new riff on quilting that looks like a grid pattern of miniature holes, as if the threads had been washed out, explains Markland. How ingenious: denim that looks as if it has come completely undone.

McGuire Denim
On a trip to Nimes, France, said to be the birthplace of denim, Melissa McGuire was inspired to create a new denim line with a nod to the fabric's workwear origins. The city's symbol, a crocodile chained to a palm tree, appears on the buttons of her new McGuire Denim line, which launched last month.
"I think a lot of [labels] make references to workwear, but none of them really capture it being relevant for an urban environment like New York or Los Angeles; they stay a little bit too literal," says McGuire, who formerly worked as a designer with Joe's Jeans and Gap. "I felt like there was really a need to do something that combines elements of workwear, but made much more modern and sexy."
That translates into skinny carpenter jeans, engineered piping inspired by traditional railroad uniforms, exposed zippers and vintage washes. Stitching on the back pockets is purposely imperfect, and the design is a stripped-away M that is actually an inverted W, inspired by an old Austrian worker's guild symbol, according to McGuire.
Another signature of the line is the high-rise and mid-rise silhouettes, that she says are a "little more sophisticated and sexy" that the ubiquitous low-rise.
The collection is made completely in Los Angeles with stretch fabrics from Italy and Turkey.
Beyond jeans, the fall line includes a jean jacket, a flared skirt, two chambray shirts and a quilted chambray fencing-style jacket that sold out at Ron Herman in two days. The flared Voyage Trouser with railroad piping also sold out.

Frame Denim
"It is for the woman who wears the beautiful shoes, the beautiful bag, the beautiful jewelry. The jeans are the frame of the look...to sort of pull the whole thing together," says Joshua LeVine, chief executive of Los Angeles-based Frame Denim, speaking of his collection that hit stores last November. Fans include Amanda Seyfried, Miranda Kerr, Sienna Miller, January Jones,
LeVine's partners are Jens Grede and Erik Torstensson of global fashion marketing, branding and advertising powerhouse The Saturday Group, a London-based umbrella of 12 companies. Grede and Torstensson created Industrie magazine, Man About Town magazine and its offshoot, men's e-tailer mrporter.com, for Net-a-Porter. One of their first projects was a global campaign for H&M, and they have designed digital platforms for
"Two years ago, Jens said, 'I'm building all these brands on behalf of clients...Why don't we have our own brand?'" says LeVine, who previously worked for Lucky Brand Jeans. "And we landed on denim... And the whole idea was to bring a European sensibility and aesthetic [to it], but base it in Los Angeles."
A local team produces the jeans, from design to washing and sewing, using stretch fabrics imported from Turkey.
The company launched with only a skinny jean fit, and has since added a tailored, boyfriend fit and a skinny flare. All have the same higher rise. Delicate details — fine thread, miniature rivets and polished gold hardware — add feminine appeal.
"When we showed it to the first retailers, everyone was doing print and novelty, and nobody was doing basic blues," says LeVine. "And we said, 'Let's turn to core.' Beautiful blues, beautiful fabrics, beautiful washes, simple colors that everybody wears...Timeless styles that aren't going anywhere any time soon."
Now into their third season, the line is inching into fashion with new washes, overdyed colors, skinny cargo and moto styles, and fabrics such as ultra-soft sateen, velvet and corduroy.
For those with legs-up-to-there, the company teamed up with supermodel Karlie Kloss for a capsule collection, Forever Karlie, designed for women 5'11" or taller, that debuted in June. The two jeans — a flare and a skinny — each come in a light and dark wash with a 40-inch inseam and a higher waist to accommodate longer torsos.

Malhia Kent x 7FAM
We've seen denim on the couture runways, and now denim brand 7 For All Mankind is bringing couture fabrics to a capsule collection of jeans.
What started as a 7 For All Mankind inspiration trip to Paris turned into a visit to the famous Malhia Kent textile mill, which produces fabrics for the likes of
Available in September, the limited edition Malhia Kent x 7FAM jeans were created by piecing panels of luxurious metallic tweeds and jacquards together with the denim brand's new Slim Illusion Second Skin fabric, which has 100 % elasticity, to mold and hold all the right places. The result is an exquisite, high-low piece with the comfort of a jegging.
Specific styles include "The Skinny" in silver geometric tweed, the Egyptian gold tweed pant and blue metallic stripe tweed pant with matching moto jacket.
Malhia Kent x 7FAM collection, $395 to $650, is available starting Sept. 1 at 7 For All Mankind stores nationwide, including the Century City and Santa Monica Place locations, and at 7ForAllMankind.com.

Calvin Rucker
Joie Rucker and Caroline Calvin have years of experience in denim between them. Rucker was the designer behind Joie and Rich & Skinny, while Calvin was with Levi's in Europe. The two friends joined forces last year to launch Calvin Rucker, which they describe as "a mix of casual and couture."
When it comes to denim, the designers are all about thoughtful details — hand treatments, hand-stitched cuffs, pick-stitch finishing. "It's the antithesis of the churn of the denim industry," Rucker says.
The line's cult style is the "Love Me" jean, a subtly sexy, low-slung jean that's slouchy on top, with a straight but not-too-straight leg, a wide, coffee can-sized cuff and double belt loops, allowing the wearer to choose a thick belt or one of the cool, thin chain belts that come with the style. It's a "feminized boyfriend jean," Rucker says, and it's available in several fabrications and washes.
Other denim styles include The "Heartbreaker," a slim, cigarette silhouette, which comes in a cool, crackly, black-painted "Nightrider" finish for fall, and the "Sledgehammer," a mid-rise skinny fit with zipper-and-chain trim down the fronts of the legs, which comes in black or crimson red..
But Calvin Rucker is about more than just denim. The designers describe the rock 'n' roll vibe for the fall collection as "Francoise Hardy goes to high tea at the Chateau Marmont with her mom," which translates into French lace T-shirts, butterfly-print chiffon blouses, rayon shirt dresses with high-low hems and crepe blazers nipped at the waist, with moto zipper details on the pockets.
"Each piece makes a difference in a woman's wardrobe," Calvin says. "Everything is made in L.A., with fabric from Europe and Japan. It's rough but refined."
Calvin Rucker, $240 to $960, available at Ron Herman in L.A., Gratus in Beverly Hiills, Michael Nusskern in Newport Beach and other boutiques. Go to CalvinRucker.com for details.

MDCC Athletes Rack Up State And National Academic Awards
- Wednesday, 25 June 2014 03:08
Athletes from every one of Mississippi Delta Community College's five sports teams and three teams as a whole were recognized on either the state or national level for their academic excellence in the classroom this week, according to MDCC Athletic Director Domino Bellipanni.
The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) recognized the Trojans' baseball, basketball and softball teams for their cumulative grade point averages. The Baseball team, under Coach Michael Avalon, was ranked fifth in the nation with a 3.37 GPA and was first in the state among the seven Mississippi teams recognized.
The Lady Trojans basketball team, under Coach Burnadette McDonald, finished the year with a 3.12 GPA and was first in the state among the four Mississippi teams recognized. The Lady Trojans softball team, under Coach Chris Watford, was also recognized nationally and finished the year with a 3.14 GPA.
In all, 15 MDCC athletes were also honored by Mississippi Association of Junior and Community Colleges (MACJC) for their achievements in the classroom. These All-State Academic Scholars had a GPA of 3.25 or better. Those with a GPA of 3.80 of better were also recognized as Distinguished Honors. They were Bill McRight of Vicksburg (football), Danny Springer of Houston (baseball) and Kelli Stevens of Rolling Fork (softball).
The MACJC All-State Academic Scholars from the baseball team were Nathaniel Dickens of Canton, John Lafever of Holly Springs, Colby Maner of Morton, Tyler Mize of Paris, and Conner Osborne of West Monroe, LA. All-State from the football team were John Marsh of Greenville, Payton Pearson of Isola, and Eric Snow of Yazoo City. Women's basketball All-State were India Overstreet of Hernando and Ashanti Spencer of Bentonia and men's basketball was Michael Sapp of Holcomb. Softball was Sara Gunter of Pensacola, FL.
Nationally, during the 2013-14 academic year, the NJCAA saw 58,446 student-athletes compete on 3,705 teams in 28 different sports. Of those competitors, 3.08 percent – or 1,799 student-athletes – were recognized with academic awards for their achievements in the classroom.
Bill McRight, Danny Springer and Kelli Stevens received the NJCAA Award for Superior Academic Excellence for GPAs between 3.80 and 3.99. Sara Gunther, John Lefever, John Marsh, Colby Manor, Conner Osborne, and Michael Sapp received the NJCAA Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement for GPA's between 3.60 and 3.79.

Donnelly & DeFazio Retain Congressional Seats
November 3, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Donnelly & DeFazio Retain Congressional Seats
Democrat Congressmen Joe Donnelly and Peter DeFazio held onto their seats on Tuesday (Nov. 2), despite a conservative wave that wrestled control of the U.S. House of Representatives away from the Democrats.
Donnelly, whose 2nd District in Northern Indiana encompasses much of the RV manufacturing hub of Elkhart County, edged out Republican Jackie Walorski by approximately 2,500 votes, while DeFazio, whose Oregon district includes the RV hub of Lane County, had an easier time, beating Art Robinson, 53.5% to 44.6%, according to late-night returns reported by the Eugene Register-Guard.
Meanwhile, Republican Marlin Stutzman easily captured Indiana's Third Congressional seat, formerly held by Mark Suder, who resigned May 21 after admitting to having an extramarital affair with an office staffer. The 3rd District also includes part of Elkhart County.
Incomplete returns showed the GOP picked up at least 60 House seats — the biggest party turnover in more than 70 years — and led for four more, far in excess of what was needed for a majority. About two dozen races remained too close to call, the Associated Press reported .
On their night of triumph, Republicans also gained at least six Senate seats, and Tea Party favorites Rand Paul in Kentucky, Mike Lee in Utah and Marco Rubio in Florida were among their winners. The GOP now owns 46 seats in the Senate with three races — in Colorado, Washington and Alaska — yet undecided. Under the radar, the changes in the legislatures of key states will impact future congressional elections through the redistricting process.
Donnelly garnered about 48% of the roughly 190,000 votes cast in his district, while Walorski ended up with 47% of the votes. Libertarian Mark Vogel attracted nearly 9,500 votes — more than three times the margin of Donnelly's victory — leaving Walorski and her Republican supporters to wonder what might have been if the third-party candidate hadn't entered the race, the South Bend Tribune reported.
Lane County voters helped DeFazio repulse Robinson's dogged bid for the seat, with 62% backing the incumbent. Late Tuesday, of the roughly 123,000 votes DeFazio had received, more than half — 65,400 — came from Lane County. DeFazio, first elected to Congress in 1986, faced his toughest challenge ever.
Indiana's 2nd District race drew national attention this year as a symbol of the political narrative of these mid-term elections.
Republicans nationwide have worked in their campaigns to capitalize on frustration with the economy and skepticism of new health care legislation as well as President Barack Obama's low approval rating, which was 48% as of today, according to Rasmussen Reports.
Walorski followed that template, framing the race as a referendum not just on Donnelly but on the leadership of Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Donnelly, who beat Republican Rep. Chris Chocola during the Democratic wave of 2006 and was re-elected with two-thirds of the vote in 2008, supported most of the Democrats' big-ticket items during the past two years — the economic stimulus package, the plan to rescue Chrysler and General Motors, and health care and financial reform. He voted with Pelosi approximately 88% of the time, according to campaign ads.
He defended those votes on the campaign trail, but he also stressed his independence by highlighting the times when he has opposed fellow party members on climate change, gun rights and immigration.
"I think the people of this district realize I don't worry about party politics," he said after his speech. "I just try to do what's right for our country and our district."
With the election behind him, Donnelly said today that it's time to get back to work.
"We have very serious challenges facing our country," he said. "We have to get our deficit in order. We have to have more jobs in our community, which we work on every single day, and we have to make sure our servicemen and women who are protecting our country overseas have everything they need."

Lady Dutch fall to Ridgway, 4-0
ST. MARYS – It was sunny but cool on Friday afternoon for the opening round match-up between St. Marys and Ridgway at St. Marys Area High School's soccer field in this year's Bucktail Tournament. St. Marys put up a good fight, but the Lady Elkers eventually emerged with the 4-0 victory to advance to the finals."We played more younger players today because of injuries. We want to do well tomorrow. Our younger players are showing improvement. Ridgway is a better team right now, and I wish them luck in the final," said St. Marys coach Dr. Bob Schmidt.Ridgway coach Greg Maddalena said he was happy with his team's effort on Friday afternoon. "We started off flat for some reason like we always do, but I have a lot of senior leadership on this team that turns our level of play around and gets everybody involved," said Maddalena. "Right now, they believe in themselves. They know they can win. They can put teams away. We knew St. Marys was banged up coming in, and that does hurt on their part, but we've still got to play the game. "Anything can happen, and I really do believe from my keeper up we just played a real good, solid game. I'm really proud of each and every one of them and we're just going to wait and see what happens tomorrow. We haven't played either one of those teams (Elk Catholic or Bradford) yet."The Lady Elkers played a dominating game, taking the lead less than 10 minutes into the game when Gabbi Benninger scored on a penalty kick with 33:58 remaining to put Ridgway up 1-0. Ridgway's Danie Jo Dwyer added to the team's lead just past the midway point of the first half when she slipped the ball past St. Marys' keeper Mia Keener with 21:49 remaining to give the Lady Elkers a 2-0 lead. Ridgway had seven shots on goal in the first half, while St. Marys had three. The Lady Elkers also had three corner kicks. The Ridgway squad took a little longer to get things going in the second half, waiting until the 31:55 mark to add to their lead when Rhianon Fowler scored to put the team up 3-0. The Ridgway squad thought they picked up their fourth goal of the match when Courtney Bush got the ball past Keener with 23:17 remaining; however, the referees ruled that the goal did not count due to goalie interference. Not to be deterred, Bush kept after it and put the ball back into the net with 14:19 remaining. This time the goal counted and gave the Lady Elkers a 4-0 lead.Ridgway had eight shots on goal and three corner kicks during the second half, while St. Marys had two shots on goal. With the win, Ridgway will advance to the Bucktail Tournament finals versus Elk County Catholic High School today at 12 p.m. at St. Marys Area High School's soccer field.

On his blog today, Johnathan Street poses a question - is PHP "good enough" to be used in the scientific community?
There is an accelerating trend in Biology to make data and tools available via web interfaces. In my opinion this is an environment where PHP excels and yet all the literature I've seen discussing the development of these services uses Perl or occasionally Java.
He came across two science-related PEAR packages that were created back in 2003, but not too much since then. He wonders if there's anyone else out there that might feel like PHP is a perfect fit for some of the sort of applications the scientific community could need.
So my question is this. Is anyone out there using PHP in a scientific environment? Are there resources available which I've missed?

@seldaek apparently you can! packagist.org/packages/barnabywalters/gist-test#v0.1.0 Agreed it's unlikely to be optimal for a lot of cases, but worth experimenting with reducing code sharing friction and boilerplate
Looks like gists can be used as minimal @packagist #composer package repos: https://gist.github.com/barnabywalters/8824041 https://packagist.org/packages/barnabywalters/gist-test — might be nice for tiny (e.g. single function) packages.
@igorwhiletrue thanks! I was aware of
stackphp/run, but wondered if there was an alternative which left the run method in place — Silex is such an exquisitely designed and concise abstraction it's a pity to have to give that up and introduce extra packages, namespaces and functions (more surface area to learn and remember).
First #indieweb package derived from indiewebify.me code: indieweb/rel-me for consuming the rel-me microformat and verifying silo backlinks. Perfect for implementing an indieauth.com clone in #php…
@thatEmil that should work fine — one thing to bear in mind is that by default they both treat redirects differently. IIRC, cURL doesn't follow redirects by default whereas
file_get_contents will.
@sandeepshetty sure! gist.github.com/barnabywalters/7863676 — included the basic functions plus the convenience class I use and a little demo. Very specific to chronological post storage/indexing, and very much in flux. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts about it.
New in this version of #taproot:
The local maximum has been overcome, for now. There is still much to do.
psysh.org is the #php REPL shell we have been waiting for. How to start an interactive shell with a given context:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$app = require 'src/app.php';
Psy\Shell::debug(['app' => $app]);
Supports readline, pcntl, registering custom commands, automatic semicolon insertion, clean+concise string representations of evaluated values. Amazing work Justin Hileman!
Had many basic software development lessons hammered in by personal experience over the last couple of years: hierarchy bad. side effects bad. many moving parts bad. undue complexity bad. inconsistency bad. SQL databases fragile. always be reducing.
It's amazing just how seductive complex, unproductive tools can be. Successfully overcome+abandoned:
PHP remains productive and speedy (with composer, delightful dependency management), python nice with some irritations. jQuery useful when absolutely necessary, plain #js with small libraries loaded via requirejs handle most progressive enhancement concisely. node.js nice for some things, preferring go's approach to async programming but still not much everyday need for it.
Avoiding middlemen: LESS, SASS, Coffeescript. Unnecessary for most of my work, and more moving parts is bad.
Now bothering me is the frameworky nonsense accumulating in #taproot. Need to cleanse.
Congratulations Aaron Parecki on implementing real-time #indieweb comments in #p3k using #webmention, websockets, redis, node.js and PHP. Very impressive indeed :)
How to emulate standard #php front-controller behaviour of routing static assets statically, otherwise calling index.php using the PHP 5.4 built-in server:
// file: index.php
// Route static assets from CLI server
if (PHP_SAPI === 'cli-server') {
if (file_exists(__DIR__ . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) and !is_dir(__DIR__ . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
return false;
// do usual front-controller stuff
Achievement Unlocked: Functional PHP by passing an anonymous function as an argument to itself
I just faked having a task queue for #taproot #indieweb note posting tasks using Symfony
HttpKernel::terminate() and it was the easiest thing ever.
Instances or subclasses of
HttpKernel have a
terminate($request, $response) method which, if called in the front controller after
$response->send(); triggers a
kernel.terminate event on the app's event dispatcher. Listeners attached to this event carry out their work after the content has been sent to the client, making it the perfect place to put time-consuming things like POSSE and webmention sending.
Once you've created your new content and it's ready to be sent to the client, create a new closure which carries out all the the time consuming stuff and attach it as a listener to your event dispatcher, like this:
$dispatcher->addListener('kernel.terminate', function() use ($note) {
$note = sendPosse($note);
Then, provided you're calling
$kernel->terminate($req, $res); in index.php, your callback will get executed after the response has been sent to the client.
If you're not using HttpKernel and HttpFoundation, the exact same behaviour can of course be carried out in pure PHP — just let the client know you've finished sending content and execute code after that. Check out these resources to learn more about how to do this:
HttpFoundation\Request::send() as a sample implementation
Further ideas: if the time consuming tasks alter the content which will be shown in any way, set a header or something to let the client side know that async stuff is happening. It could then re-fetch the content after a few seconds and update it.
Sure, this isn't as elegant as a message queue. But as I showed, it's super easy and portable, requiring the addition of three or four lines of code.
Looks like google isn't just counting items in data tables, lists too:
/cc Tantek Çelik
I'm thinking the time might have come to write a wrapper around #php DOMDocument which actually makes it usable. Thoughts:
querySelector and
querySelectorAll are implemented for both the document and individual elements via Symfony XPath → CSS converter and relative XPath queries
innerHTML for consistency
@packagist feature request: ID attrs on each version element on package pages so we can link to individual versions
Just pushed latest #taproot changes: using htmlpurifier.org to remove any nasties in reply contexts and comments, hopefully with upcoming php-mf2 changes that'll allow limited HTML comments!
Also using brand new php-mf2-cleaner to parse said reply contexts and comments, find authors, etc. Check it out if you deal with #microformats 2 at all in PHP.
I'm rather impressed with guzzlephp.org's HTTP Link header abstraction. Parsing Link headers and providing a simple API to check for the existence of/fetch links by rel is welcome attention to detail and cements it's position as the only PHP HTTP client I will likely ever need.

SEATTLE, Wash. (Feb. 6, 2010) - Even after winning the doubles point the ETSU men's tennis team could not outlast 61st-ranked Mississippi State Saturday night, as the Bulldogs stormed back for a 5-2 victory during opening-round action of the Great Northwest Shootout in Seattle, Washington.
With the win MSU improves to 3-3, while the 60th-ranked Bucs slipped to 2-3 on the young season.
After the ETSU junior doubles team of Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) defeated Mississippi State's George Copeland and Artem Illyushin 8-4, senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Colombia) and sophomore teammate Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) closed out the early point with a 9-8 victory over Louis Cant and Chris Doerr.
After Teraz - who is currently ranked 82nd by the ITA in singles - dropped 125th-ranked llyushin in straight sets 6-3, 6-2 ETSU couldn't hold off a furious Mississippi State comeback as the Bulldogs won the remaining five matches.
"We had the early momentum in doubles but our guys couldn't hold on to that energy in singles," said assistant coach Ricky Rojas. "Unfortunately we got ourselves in some long sets and our stamina wasn't where it needed to be. After playing Washington here yesterday Mississippi State was able to get into a good rhythm which showed as the match went on. Now we just need to get some rest and get ready for tomorrow's contest."
Despite losing five straight singles matches, the scores for ETSU were close as Bottoni, sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium), freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) and Akser all played tough three-set contests.
ETSU will wrap up the Great Northwest Shootout with a 5 p.m. challenge tomorrow as they serve it up against host and 24th-ranked Washington.

Have any of you had any trouble with 4H and church/state separation?
My child is currently attending a 4H day camp. I looked into 4H and it is run through the US Dept of Agriculture. So, it never occurred to me that I had to worry about her being indoctrinated with Christianity.
It is a 5 week camp. On the last day of week 4 they had a cookout and invited parents. I attended and was shocked to see that before lunch they sang a Christian prayer song. While it didn't mention Jesus by name, several times it referred to "Our Lord" and in the song they thanked "Our Lord" for creating the sun, moon, stars, etc. At the end they sang "Amen." It seemed very Christian to me. Two boys weren't singing the counselor told them that they had to.
I called the National 4H office who referred me to the Civil Rights office for the Dept of Ag. I spoke to the director who was very understanding and said he would get right on it. Someone from his office called back later today and said that they were going to replace the song with a nonreligious song.
My child just came home from camp and I asked about the song. She said they still sing it but not it is optional.
That's better. But I still think it is a violation of the constitution since it is a federal government program. If they were singing a prayer from some other religion, the other parents would be up in arms. But, because it's Christian, they think it's fine to impose it.
I don't know why they can't just give them a moment of silence before they eat and those who want to pray can, and those who don't, don't. Why does it have to be a lead prayer?
I am not sure how far to take this. I suspect that they already know who complained even though the Civil Rights office said that they did not disclose our names. It is a small Southern community and I worry about the backlash against my daughter.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. I wonder if the "optional" choice to sing was the group's way of dealing with the situation, or if the direction to not sing the song hasn't reached them yet. I would ask again after a couple of days and see what they are doing.
Whenever I have been in a situation like this, I consult my daughter in how she might like to handle it. Depending on your daughter's age, and how she might feel about other children knowing it was her mom who complained might have some weight on what to do next. I make it clear to my daughter that as her parent, it is my decision what to do, but I also like her to know that her own thoughts on the subject will be considered. My daughter always wants to go for it (and she usually complains about similar violations before I even know they exist) but she's my little activist. ;-) If she were more shy about being an atheist, or more concerned about what others thought of her, I may not be as vocal.
Please let us know what you decide to do, as we can all learn from how you end up handling this.
Oh that stinks. 4H should be one of the good places for us. My family was very active in 4H when I was a kid. I don't remember that ever being an issue but then I'm in the northeast where religion is not generally quite so aggressive and my parents were nominally Catholic so I might not have noticed anyway.
Here is 4H's actual policy on religion: http://www.national4-hheadquarters.gov/library/fs_religion_4h.pdf
Personally, I would push it. The policy is very clear and clearly does not allow what your daughter's camp is doing. But of couse that's only a decision your family can make.
Thanks for your thoughts. I am still trying to figure out what to do. My daughter is very young and doesn't understand all of this. That is part of the problem - I am getting my information from her. I don't know how reliable it is. The first time I saw it and I saw two boy who weren't singing the prayer get told that they must. But now I am relying on a small child's memory and understanding of a very adult situation. She could be confused.
I am quite certain that the information reached them. It's a very small office here. The person at the Civil Rights office told me who she spoke to and that they would replace it Monday. Also, my daughter said they talked to all of the kids today about the "option" and the pledge and government. (She didn't understand any of it). I think that making it "optional" is their way of dealing with it. However, that's not how I was told they would deal with it. I don't like it. What little kid can truly understand this option and the peer pressure at this age is intense.
Yes, I thought 4H was a place for us too!! My daughter loves many things that 4H does and I thought we would even join after the camp, but I am not keen on it now. I was going to pull my daughter out of the camp because I wasn't sure she liked it anyway, but she wanted to stay. So, I am going to let her go. But next year, I think I will just keep her in the YMCA all summer.
The funny thing is that she also attended several weeks of a YMCA camp where there was none of this. The camp was even held at a church, but they never prayed or talked about God. They just used the back of the church building (Yes, I am not crazy about that, but I knew about it before I signed her up and I didn't have to do it). When I asked the YMCA if they prayed, they said they did not because they wanted it to be welcoming to everyone. Hmm... what a thought. Too bad our secular government doesn't feel the same way!
Yesterday my daughter came home and told me that once again they sang the "Gray Song" (I think it is probably Grace Song, but since we don't say Grace she didn't get the name right.) So, I put another call into the Civil Rights office to see if they can find anything out. My daughter is very young, so when I ask her for details, such as "Was it counselor led?", she has no idea what I am asking. So, I hope that I can find out while still remaining semi-anonymous. (They probably know who complained because there weren't very many parents there when they did the song for the day I complained about.)
She is enjoying the camp and I am going to let her finish it out. But we probably won't do anything 4H again because of this. Sad, because a federally sponsored program should be welcoming. I know I'm not the only non-Christian in the county (although I think there is a small group of non-Christians - but we have Jews, Buddhists, etc. I wouldn't have thought that at 4H there would be an issue.
I think the Civil Rights office might be blowing me off now. I called and left a message with someone. When I didn't hear anything I called again. I am still waiting. Tomorrow will be a week.
Just to give everyone an update - After weeks of calling and leaving messages, I finally got a call back. I was told that he would send an email to all of the directors and remind them about the separation of church and state. I reminded him that I wished to keep my name out of it. He said that was no problem. However, he did not. He copied me on the email and it had my first and last name, stated that I made several complaints, and disclosed that I am an atheist. I sent him an email stating that I was unhappy with this, but I have not heard from him. I hope these directors keep my name to themselves.
On the upside, the email did remind everyone of their duty regarding separation of church and state. The director of my area emailed me and said that he would take care of it. Unfortunately, he is leaving for another job this week. So, even if he does take care of it, there is no guarantee it will last. Frustrating.

Welcome aboard Pat!
Murdered grandparents? Octogenarian (former) mobsters? GOLD? Good Stuff! Read the excerpt & give it a test ride. Today Pat is going to post about what hooks a reader. Now pay attention. Don't slouch.
See y'all at the bottom of the page.
The age of writing long descriptive passages (or even short ones) at the beginning of a novel is long past. Today people want to be drawn immediately into the story without wading through unnecessary verbiage. An editor might look at the first five pages before tossing aside your manuscript, but potential customers will give you a mere twenty seconds to draw them in. Once you have caught their attention, they might read a little further, and perhaps they will even buy the book. They certainly will not wade through the first five, ten, fifty pages until they get to "the good part."
That "good part" must be right up front, especially if you're a first-time writer. That's all you have going for you — the ability to get off to a fast start and capture the reader's attention. Your name certainly won't do it; no one knows who you are yet. Your credentials might help, but only to establish your credibility after a potential reader has been hooked. And they will never be hooked by your ability to turn a clever phrase.
So what will hook the reader? A character. Always a character. No one reads a book for a description of the weather, a place, or an issue. They don't even want a description of the character. They want to meet him, to see life through his eyes, to bond with him. They want to know what he wants, what his driving force is. And they want to know who or what he's in conflict with.
Without conflict, there is no story, but without a character for the reader to care about, there is no story either. Character and conflict are inextricably combined, and together they create the tension necessary to sustain a story. I know you think it's okay to let the tension rise slowly, which it is, but the tension level at the beginning must be high enough to let the reader know something is going on.
A practiced writer knows how to adjust the tension by temporarily letting up on the main conflict and interjecting intermediate conflicts, or even adding inner conflicts to shadow the outer ones, but all conflicts must be somebody's conflict. For example, you might be concerned about war, but seeing a specific soldier dealing with his experiences makes you care, maybe even makes you cry. And you will want to know what becomes of him.
That's what hooks a reader.
Pat Bertram is a native of Colorado and a lifelong resident. When the traditional publishers stopped publishing her favorite type of book — character and story driven novels that can't easily be slotted into a genre — she decided to write her own. Daughter Am I is Bertram's third novel to be published by Second Wind Publishing, LLC. Also available are More Deaths Than One and A Spark of Heavenly Fire.

Why Doesn't Century 21 Canada Want More People Viewing Its Real Estate Listings?
from the someone-please-explain dept
Of course, the real estate business has always been focused on bogus exclusions on data though the MLS system -- and apparently they don't like the idea of that data being more widely available. But, still, it's difficult to see what right Century 21 has to complain about, since the site links to Century 21 postings and should only provide them with more traffic. Unless, of course, its fear is that it can't compete by offering enough useful info on its own site.

Review: Panama Red 108 Overproof Rum
Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 5, 2011
Panama Red 108 is a Panamanian rum brought to you by PANAMONTE BRANDS. The rum is handcrafted by the creator of Zafra Master Reserve, Master Blender, Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez. It is produced from the sugar cane that grew in Las Cabras de Pese, the same region where the Distillery is located. Although the rum is stated as overproof, Don Pancho has assured me that the rum will feel much smoother in the mouth than a typical overproof rum. It has as its base, a 5 year molasses based rum which is aged in used Bourbon casks at the distillery warehouse in Pese.
There is a bit of a romantic story behind the name of this Rum and it was related to me via email by the Mr. Carlos E. Esquivel G., the Executive Director of PILSA (A Rum distillery and production company, specializing in Aged Rums, and Rum related products in Panama and South America). With his permission, I have reproduced the story here on my website and you may access it through a link in the review.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"…A rum with 54 per cent alcohol strength by volume packs quite a punch! And that punch is full of concentrated flavours. These flavours practically leap into the mouth out of the glass. Sweet flavours of caramel candy take the lead with more pungent flavours of tobacco and leather riding the coat-tails…."

Lengthy NFS discussions have been moved to Talk:Terastation NFS. Please think carefully before deciding whether to post useful information to a Talk page or a normal article! Talk pages are often missed by the average reader.
Dead Terastation
In my over zealous hacking attempts, I have managed to kill the code in my flash. Is there a way to restore the flash code?
- The TeraStation has a JTAG interface. It's part of the regular PowerPC debugging interface CN11. This 16pin interface is quite common for embedded PowerPCs, but I've forgotten it's name and don't have any useable links.
- Unfortunately we don't have any JTAG-borderscan information, and without you will not be able to use the JTAG interface.
- Sorry, but it looks like you're hossed. How did you destroy your flash anyway?
- Come to think of it: unless you also destroyed the bootloader, you should be able to access it. Either from the serial port or even from the network. I've no further infrmation on this either.
- You could ask buffalo, they have now at last learned how to use mdadm with a hacked firmware to recover a hossed raid.
- --Bg 08:31, 4 April 2006 (CEST)
It was actually kinda stupid. I have two TeraStations, a TeraStation 1T and a TeraStation Pro 1T. I got the latest firmware for the Pro to add the AD support. I 'accidentally' applied the update to the non-pro box. After the TeraStation rebooted, it shutdown with the Diag light flashing. According to TeraStation docs:
Five time continuous blinking(every four seconds) Flash ROM Error
The box is no longer accessible from the net. I thought I may be able to find some info on the root disk so I put it in a USB enclosure and mounted it using Suse. Of course there was nothing I could do because the kernel doesn't appear to load/execute from the flash. I haven't performed the console mod yet. Do think this might provide some useful output? Or should I just admit my stupidity and send the box back to buffalo for repair?
-- Update -- I performed the console mod and now I can see the boot messages (boot text). It appears the problem is that it's not loading an IDE driver ('cause the Pro doesn't use IDE?). Any Ideas? --Sjcook 14:52, 19 April 2006 (CEST)
Terrastation Root password.
I have just installed the Terastation 2.03 firmware from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/itimpi/buffalo.htm I currently have telnet access, and wish to install SSH, although I do not have root accesss. sudo does not work because there is no /etc/sudoers file, and I can't add anything to /etc/ due to my permissions. Does anyone know the default root password for 2.03? Thanks.
- No, but feel free to crack it. It's btw. a lot easier to just make a modivied firmware image.
- --Bg 14:52, 6 April 2006 (CEST)
Try This
is the root loging account should be "myroot" with a blank password.
Virtual Terastation
Hi, have just bought a Terastation and LinkTheater, like the idea of modding the TS for all these extra features, wondering if anyone has thought of testing it using a virtual PC (I have dd'ed the partitions of an old PC onto virtual disks created with QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu) and then run the old machine as a virtual one within vmplayer (http://www.vmware.com/products/player) ) ? Is this something that anyone has considered - or does anyone have a copy of the linux partitions ? (A little nervous of opening the TS up as I now have data on it!) Thanks.
--Chris 12:36, 13 April 2006 (CEST)
Has anyone tried this.? WizardFusion
I'm currently trying to get VMware server to work over the network using NFS and a linux Host.. I'll try let you know how it goes :o)
Well, I have been doing some testing. My networks is 1Gps, and even though I have a very powerful host, the user mode NFS is just far too slow.
My next task is to try and get iSCSI working with my TSPro so it will act as a SAN. I have had this working fine using a normal Linux OS. I shall keep you all posted.
--- StPierre [29/10/2007]
Unfortunatly there is no HowTo for installing the LundFTPD. I tried to get it working but had no success. I downloaded and installed the precompiled Binary. Afer configuring the .conf file a litte bit i tried to start he deamon with /etc/init.d/lundftpd start - nothing happened (also no logfile action). when i tried to start the lundftpd manually with lundftpd -v a "segmentation fault" appeared.
Maybe there are some dependencies but i do not know which (there is no lundftpd readme.txt). If someone get the ftpd working please explain how (in the "hacking" page of this wiki).
I tried it with: Terastion 1TB, Disk Firmware 1.12 (Dave's hacked version)
Half Dead Terastation
Please read, and either laugh or cry.. After updating the firmware of my terastation to get root access to my box I started playing around. I found a heap of binaries that could be used with the terastation, so without looking through I untared everything.. (it all the packages looked useful) The downfall was that I replaced glibc and I get this error when i telnet to the box
in.telnetd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /lib/libwrap.so.0)
SMB, apache, have also stopped working although FTP is good and healthy.
The only thing I can see possible now is for me to find an LPR exploit or try getting serial access.
I read through the documentation serial port guide on this site, although I am still wondering what exactly I need to do from a step-by-step persepctive.. Do I need to buy any resistors or jumpers? if so what type? etc.. Could anyone please help me out.
you crashed the diskfirmware, thats not an essential problem. i had an equal problem. after disconnecting the harddisks and playing with the firmware toy a bit the whole raid array was renewed therefore also the diskfirmware deleted. after this you can flash again and everything will work again regards, ringgh0st
Your 100% right!. I was so scared that if I rebooted my terastation it would render it unusable by not being able to boot. I also realised there was a factory reset button on the back of the unit as well.
Files missing from GPL archive
I received the Software#GPL_Software from Buffalo but it seems that they left out the hhl-host-rpmconfig* file that contains all the macros used to crossbuild their software.
Does anyone know where I can get a MontaVista 3.1 hhl-host-rpmconfig* file?
I am wondering if anyone has setup their terastation to be a torrenting box?--Tim@ 18:49, 22 July 2007 (CEST)
rtorrent looks like a good client to use. nslu2 mentions rtorrent. I have rtorrent setup on a server right now and all you have to do is drop a torrent into the "torrent" folder the corresponding file will appear in the "downloaded" file when complete. To seed I just add both torrent and data to the folders.
I am using CTorrent and Screen. ctorrent auf der TS - ENOSNUS

August was a month of sea side fillers and September is no different! Naruto and company will be continuing their quest at sea in hopes to eventually reach the Lightning Country where Tsunade hopes Naruto will train with Killer Bee to control the power of the Nine-Tails. Below are the titles of the episodes to air this month and the date they will be airing in September.
- Episode #227: The Forgotten Island – September 01, 2011
- Episode #228: Fight! Rock Lee – September 08, 2011
- Episode #229: Eat or Die! Mushrooms from Hell – September 22, 2011
- Episode #230: Counterattack from the Shadows – September 29, 2011
Information about the first episode in October has leaked as well. Episode 231 is scheduled to air October 6, 2011 and is titled "The Closed Sea Route". The episode is significant because it is the last episode of season. In other words, episode 232 will mark the beginning of the next season and new opening and ending videos! Naruto Shippuden Opening 10 will feature the Japanese band tacica performing "newsong". The 19th Naruto Shippuden ending will feature Japanese band TOTALFAT playing a song called "Place to Try". A new season, opening, or ending video of Naruto Shippuden does not confirm or deny the end of fillers, but our personal hope is that October brings canon goodness back to our computer screens!

Files lawsuit against NEA, Mexico School District superintendent, board members
Dr. Mickie Shank and her husband Michael Shank have filed a lawsuit seeking judgment for damages "exceeding $1 million, compensatory damages, punitive damages, costs of the lawsuit and other such and further relief as the court deems just and proper in the premises."
The lawsuit filed in Jackson County Circuit Court, Independence, names the following defendants: labor union National Education Association represented by Anne Morrison-Smith; Mexico School District Supt. Kevin Freeman; Mexico School Board members M. Elwood Rice, Beverly MacFarlane, Dustin Pascoe and Patrick Maguire.
Freeman, MacFarlane, Maguire and Rice declined offers to comment this morning. Efforts to reach Pascoe was unsuccessful.
The petition for damages states Plaintiff Dr. Shank is contactually employed with the Defendant Mexico School District No. 59 as the director of the Hart Career Center in Mexico. The lawsuit stems from the Feb. 19, 2013 school board members' votes for non-renewal of her contract for the 2013-2014 school year. Dr. Shank accuses Freeman of libel, for statements she claims were based on false statements and deliberately intended to defame her and expose her to public hatred, contempt and ridicule. She also claims libel and tortious interference with business expectancy against NEA stating NEA deliberately, intentionally, maliciously defamed her before the public and the board members prior to the Feb. 19 meeting, to intentionally interfere with her future employment.
Defendant Kevin Freeman is sued in his official capacity as the superintendent and individually. Each board member named as a defendant is being sued in his/her official capacity as a board member and individually.
The petition for damages further states Dr. Shank began employment with the Mexico School District in school year 2011-2012, by written contract as director of HCC. On March 23, 2012, Mexico School District extended Dr. Shank's contract for the 2012-2013 school year.
The petition identifies two Mexico School District policies – staff grievances and discrimination policy – and the board's policy, custom and practice related to complaints against administrators from staff and the public. The petition states neither the formal written board policies identified to resolve employee grievances, nor the policy, custom and practice of the board of education to terminate rumors and lies were enforced or allowed regarding Dr. Shank.
In addition, the suit includes breach of contract against all defendants except NEA. The suit states the defendants voted for non-renewal based upon lies created by NEA and refused to allow Dr. Shank to dispel those accusations with evidence.
The lawsuit states that as a direct and proximate result of the defendants' actions, Dr. Shank has suffered annual economic damages of future employment totaling $95,390 and in addition will lose $1,102,320 less in retirement benefits paid out over a 30-year period.
In addition to Dr. Shank seeking judgment against the defendants "for actual damages exceeding $1,197,320, costs of the action and such other and further relief as the court deems just and proper," Michael Shank is asking for an amount exceeding $75,000 for compensatory damages, costs of the action and further relief as the court deems just and proper. He claims as a direct and proximate result of the acts and conduct of defendants toward Dr. Shank, he was caused to sustain the loss of consortium, society, love, affection and companionship he previously enjoyed with his spouse.
The lawsuit document was submitted to the court by the Shanks' attorney Larry Bagsby, Bagsby & Lee, LLC, of St. Charles.

The Belgian, who enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell at the Bundesliga side last season, has started only two Barclays Premier League matches this term.
He was left out of the squad for Tuesday night's Champions League trip to Steaua Bucharest, with questions over his omission prompting Blues boss Jose Mourinho to call a halt to his pre-match press conference.
Bremen general manager Thomas Eichin told the Bild newspaper: "Should Kevin be unhappy, we are an eager first contact.
"I am in contact with his agent and am informed about Kevin's situation at Chelsea."
The 22-year-old scored 10 goals in 32 Bundesliga games for Bremen last season.
Eichin added: "I know Kevin, if he doesn't play it is certainly a big problem for him.
"Let's wait and see what happens in the winter. We will be ready, if there is a possibility, to get him."
