Recipe: Easy Mackerel open sandwich
February 5, 2015 | Leave a comment
Introducing the Mackerel Open Sandwich. There are the open sandwich recipes that never make it to the books but that are so easy, so traditional…. This one, my mother served for us for lunch as kids. In fact. most Danish mothers will have served this to their kids. It's one of those open sandwiches we grow up on. It's unlikely you'll ever find it in any book, but that doesn't make it any less delicious.
Dark seeded rye bread topped with mackerel and tomato straight from the tin. A dollop of (good quality) mayonnaise – and season. It's really delicious and is ready in about 24 seconds. Our Rebekka says that chopped shallots and a drizzle of lemon juice should also be added and we don't argue with her, so you better do it.
You can buy tinned Mackerel and tomato in most supermarkets or online here

Greetings all, I will be very honest to say that I sought out this Smiths forum to promote some items that I am currently auctioning. I have many Smiths / Morrissey items currently up for auction, many of which are rare and sought after.
Hopefully you will find this brief promotion welcome, or at least tolerable!
On the other side of the coin, I must apologize that by the time some people might read this, a number of the auctions will have ended. It just occurred to me to perhaps seek out a Smiths forum such as this.. If I had thought of it sooner, I would have posted sooner.
So here is a link to the items.. many 7"'s, 12" singles, LPs, CD singles, books, magazines, photos, & posters.
Thanks, and I do hope this is not too much of annoyance for you guys.

Republicans Resist Reality in the Age of Obama
Republicans Resist Reality in the Age of Obama
"So let's let those [tax rates on top earners] go up. And then let's set up a process with a time certain, at the end of 2013 or the fall of 2013, where we work on tax reform…"
-- President Obama in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Republicans can learn a lot about dealing with Barack Obama in the current fiscal negotiations from how Obama conducted his re-election campaign.
Obama ran an audaciously negative campaign with the intention of winning a base-versus-base election with superior resources and organization. And he did exactly that. Obama worked to shrink the electorate by driving squeamish moderates and independents out of the pool and then won the partisan grudge match among those who remained.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney's campaign in the spring and most of the summer was a riff on Bob Dole's 1996 lament: "Where is the outrage?"
Romney demanded that the press and public hold Obama accountable for running a small, grinding and negative campaign based mostly on character assassination. Where's the Hope and Change? Where's the vision?
What he found was that the public has such low expectations for politics and politicians that Obama was able to surmount the barely-there bar for public discourse. And as for the press, while Romney's frustrations would occasionally elicit some high-minded regret from the media establishment, it was quickly excused as necessary, given the aforementioned rottenness of political life.
Sometimes, Obama's tactics and personal disdain for Romney were even recounted admiringly as evidence of a fierce competitive spirit within the president – a jock's sensibility rather than the professorial attitude most Americans are familiar with.
Romney eventually quit complaining and started working to undo the damage Obama had done to the former Massachusetts governor's reputation. He also took a tougher tone in prosecuting Obama's record. Rather than saying the president was a nice guy who was in over his head, Romney started saying that Obama was reckless and wrong on the economy and spending.
But it was too late. Those persuadable voters who didn't stay home concluded that while Romney might have a better economic plan, they didn't trust him to look after their best interests. Republicans are scouring their souls and attempting a game of demographic connect-the-dots, but one lesson they have largely overlooked is that voters do not trust big government or big business.
Republicans are now stunned – "flabbergasted" said the House speaker -- that Obama is bringing a similarly audacious approach to his efforts to secure tax rate increases on top earners and other liberal fiscal wish-list items.
Republicans assumed since they came back to town, hats in hand, ready to do a deal on taxes, Obama would give them grace enough and political cover enough to get the deal done. That's old Washington thinking. That's Romney thinking. That's thinking unsuited to the Age of Obama.
The Republicans are looking for a way to cut a larger deal that trades long-term entitlement cuts and short-term reductions in the growth of spending for higher taxes. They are looking for a grand bargain. Obama nixed such a deal when he was an embattled incumbent facing re-election. Why would one suppose that he would be more inclined to do such a thing now?
If that's what Obama wanted, he wouldn't be picking a semantic, ideological fight over whether tax payments came in the form of shrunken loopholes or higher rates. If Obama wanted a grand bargain or a demonstration of political graciousness, he wouldn't be demanding tax hikes now in exchange for consideration of tax reform one year hence.
Today, Obama will address a collection of corporate CEOs in which he will call for the debt ceiling to be lifted without conditions, perhaps even abolished. The same Obama who once voted against raising the limit is now saying that it should be scrapped.
Republicans are shocked and stunned. "Hypocrisy," they cry. "Bad faith," they wail.
The electorate is doing its best to ignore the tedium of these eternal, infernal negotiations, so there is little chance of a popular uprising that the president show more grace or in defense of limits on borrowing. It's such a muddle and so seemingly pointless that Mr. and Mrs. America can be forgiven for tuning out.
As for the press, what are Republicans expecting? A sudden new sense of outrage? C'mon, dude.
Obama has outrun even some of his staunchest media supporters in this battle. When the fight started, the media focus was on Republican intransigence on taxing rich people. Norquist this and Bush-era that. Obama surprised some with his own intransigence on rates versus revenue when Republicans looked ready to give in, but that has been mostly excused as a bargaining tactic.
There has been some more meaningful media head shaking on the fact that Obama is at most looking at some entitlement tweaks and not willing to work on a deal today that would address systemic problems. Obama wants a three-step process that starts with a tax hike and includes later negotiations over some entitlement and tax reforms.
But whatever the Washington Post and USA Today may say today, in the end, Obama will mostly get a pass and the discussion will return to the old points: Republican obstructionism, Tea Party hostage takers and the reckless GOP. In a left-leaning media, liberal intransigence is always much more readily forgiven.
So what are Republicans to do? Which of the options available are the least bad?
Power Play can't say. But whatever they do cannot be predicated on goading or shaming Obama into a less audacious stance. They will have to find a way to stick together when he is trying to break them apart and they will have to find a way to fight for every inch, even when the chorus of boos rains down from press row.
Grueling? Yes. Unfair? Yes. But better for Republicans to face the realities of life in the Age of Obama than to do what Romney did and pretend otherwise.
And Now, A Word From Charles
"The only reason the president insists on raising rates is because he knows it will destroy Republican unity. It will cause a complete fracture of the Republican majority in the House. It will hand him a Congress that he can then manipulate for the next two years at least, because the Republicans will be neutered."
-- Charles Krauthammer on "Special Report with Bret Baier."

TROY — Troy University will highlight the best in modern French cinema with a series of free film screenings this fall at the Troy Campus, funded by a grant from the French American Cultural Exchange.
TROY's Library has been selected to receive a Tournées Festival grant, which will support screenings of five French films at the campus starting in September. The Tournées Festival is a program of FACE in partnership with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, which aims to bring contemporary French cinema to college and university campuses in the U.S.
Films that will be screened at TROY include:
All the screenings will be held inside Patterson Hall room 101, and admission is free and open to the public.
"We are pleased to be able to bring the Tournées Festival to TROY," said Rachel Hooper, project director. "We feel it is important to introduce Alabamians to modern French culture and society, to provide TROY's students who are studying French a venue in which they can apply their listening skills and to remind residents here of the strong ties that Alabama has historically to France."
Troy University has previously hosted the Tournées Festival at the Dothan Campus in 2008 and 2010.
For more information about the film festival, contact Hooper at 334-670-3269 or email@example.com.
The Tournées Festival is made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the U.S., Centre National de la Cinématographie et de L´Image Animée, the Florence Gould Foundation, Campus France USA and Highbrow Entertainment.

The Puig question: Can the Wild Horse be tamed?
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Teammates are counting on Yasiel Puig, so the 20-pound soft underbelly (on what a year ago was a chiseled body) is viewed by many as a cautionary yellow flag.
Another is the two days off Puig took last week after fouling a batting-practice pitch off his right leg. And the fact that he's the last to arrive for practice more often than the first. He had two hits and drove in the Dodgers' only run in Wednesday's Cactus League opener, but the clubhouse can be an unforgiving place when a young player takes perceived liberties.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Teammates are counting on Yasiel Puig, so the 20-pound soft underbelly (on what a year ago was a chiseled body) is viewed by many as a cautionary yellow flag.
Another is the two days off Puig took last week after fouling a batting-practice pitch off his right leg. And the fact that he's the last to arrive for practice more often than the first. He had two hits and drove in the Dodgers' only run in Wednesday's Cactus League opener, but the clubhouse can be an unforgiving place when a young player takes perceived liberties.
So coming off a jaw-dropping debut month that was followed by his share of struggles as last season wore on, Puig is being monitored carefully to see if he's another Mike Trout or another Joe Charboneau.
For those unfamiliar with Charboneau's tale, he was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1980, was back in the Minor Leagues in 1981 and out of the game by 1985. Just Google "baseball sophomore jinx" and you can read all about him.
"My theory on the sophomore thing is that it's a lack of concentration the following year," said Pat Corrales, the Dodgers' special advisor to the general manager. "This game isn't automatic, no matter how much ability you have. You have to work. That's why [Clayton] Kershaw is so good. He doesn't stop working."
Corrales managed against Charboneau and witnessed the infamous flameout.
"I don't think he applied himself after his rookie year," he said. "And his stuff off the field blew up. He was a talented player. But he was different."
So is Puig. He didn't play like a rookie last year, or act like one. After being rushed from Double-A, he was the loudest voice in the Major League clubhouse, the opposite of what's expected from rookies. He showed all five tools in abundance, set records his first month in the Major Leagues and lit a fire under a foundering team with an enthusiasm that bordered on recklessness.
But the outfielder's lack of Minor League seasoning showed in countless missed cutoffs and baserunning mistakes, then an inability to adjust to pitchers who exploited holes in his batting approach.
He's flamboyant and theatrical. But he's also immature. He's been removed from a game for lack of hustle and he showed up late for another. His speeding arrests and contempt for the media have overshadowed his charitable offseason work with young people.
Management has treated Puig more with kid gloves than iron fists since he signed a seven-year, $42 million contract. It's not easy to harness the Wild Horse, broadcaster Vin Scully's nickname for the 23-year-old Cuban.
If you wonder what opponents think of Puig, just know that in four months he was hit by pitches 11 times, more than Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente or Mickey Mantle were ever plunked in one season. Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt -- who led the league in homers, RBIs and slugging percentage last year -- was hit by only three pitches. Puig is either an unlucky magnet for pitches or a target.
"I think he'll be all right, because the third baseman [Juan Uribe] and shortstop [Hanley Ramirez] and first baseman [Adrian Gonzalez] talk to him a lot," said Corrales. "We've got accomplished players and we need to get them to teach the young players so we hand it down."
Ramirez was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2006. In contrast to Charboneau, Ramirez's second year was even better than his first.
"Everybody told me the pitchers would make adjustments the second year, but I never thought about that," Ramirez said. "You've got to be mentally strong, that's the key for Puig. For me, I learned to take more walks. You take what they give you and don't try to do too much."
Gonzalez said circumstances have forced Puig to learn under a Major League spotlight what most players are allowed to learn in the Minor Leagues. As have many before him, he's doing it in a new country, learning a new language and culture.
"He's not just learning baseball, but life," said Gonzalez. "When I came up, I learned a lot from Sandy Alomar Jr. But I learned in the Minor Leagues and I learned from sitting on the bench. I will try to help Puig when I feel the time is right. You pick your battles. I'm not going to be in his face to where he thinks I don't like him. I'll help for his benefit as a player and a person and for the team's benefit."
The other side to the Puig story is how great he might become. Because of his tools, especially the bazooka arm in right field, Puig reminds some of Clemente, the late Hall of Famer.
"He's getting close to that level," said Dodgers coach Manny Mota, Clemente's teammate in Pittsburgh, "because of the intensity and passion that he plays the game."
Clemente was a 20-year-old rookie in 1955 after being taken from the Dodgers in the Rule 5 Draft. He didn't break out offensively until 1960, and even at his best had less power and basestealing potential than Puig.
With Puig's ceiling, he can be any kind of player. Manager Don Mattingly intends to lead him off in the batting order because of his dynamic tools, the makeup of the roster and the fact that Puig hasn't yet shown the patience needed to drive in runs.
Mattingly said he's less concerned with the trouble signs than most.
"Anything with Yasiel is a big deal, we understand that," said Mattingly. "We just want to see maturity and adjustments. He's an open book, he's excited all the time. You guys [media] have the last word and paint the picture. Last year, the media turned on him almost overnight, and I thought he got painted wrong and was misunderstood. You expect him to be Derek Jeter with the media. I felt he needed to be cut some slack."

All News Releases By Date
EPA releases 2006 American Samoa Toxics Release Inventory data
Release Date: 02/21/2008
Contact Information: Dean Higuchi, 808-541-2711, firstname.lastname@example.com
American Samoa reports the least amount of toxic releases of any state or territory in the nation
(02/21/08) HONOLULU – A facility in American Samoa reported a total of five pounds of toxic chemicals released into the air in 2006, according to new data released today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The data comes from the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory, an annual measure of toxic chemical releases and waste generated by facilities in the United States. Total releases include toxic chemicals discharged to air, water, underground injection, land (including landfills), and the amount transferred off-site for disposal. Data provided does not mean that facilities with elevated levels are out of compliance with state, local or federal environmental regulations.
The only facility reporting is Star-Kist Samoa with five pounds in air releases. Overall, American Samoa ranks the very lowest in total releases from 56 states and territories.
"TRI is an important tool for regulators, emergency responders, reporters, businesses and communities because it helps us better understand the types and amounts of chemicals being released in our communities," said Wayne Nastri, the EPA's administrator for the Pacific Southwest region. "We are pleased to report American Samoa has the lowest releases of any state or territory in the nation."
Some findings of interest nationally for 2006:
* Total disposal and other releases are down two percent from last year.
* Combined air releases of TRI chemicals are down seven percent.
* Total disposal and other releases of mercury to all media combined increased 17 percent. However, air releases of mercury are down four percent.
* From 2001-2006, total releases reported to TRI decreased by 24 percent.
The reporting of data to the Toxics Release Inventory is required under the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, passed in 1986. This program has been credited with arming communities with valuable knowledge and encouraging facilities to reduce their releases of toxic chemicals into the environment through source reduction, or pollution prevention measures.

Christmas Concert With The Gibson Girls.Sun. Dec 16, 2018 (1:00 pm) Harvard Hills Baptist Church is having The Gibson Girls for a Christmas Concert! Join them for a time of fun enjoyable worship and fellowship as they sing several Christmas songs and celebrate the birth of Christ.... More...
As they were driving there, they were reminded of one of their daughter's favorite activities, listening to WCIC on the radio. They did not turn on the radio until they were about 15 miles from the hospital. When they turned on the radio to WCIC, as the parents told me on Wednesday, the perfect trio of songs played back to back to back. The first song was, "I Could Only Imagine" by Mercy Me--that beautiful song about what Heaven will be like. Then the second song was, "Glory, Glory Alleluia He Reigns" by Newsboys, which was the little girl's favorite song of all time. And third came, "I Will Praise You In This Storm" by Casting Crowns which the parents felt was a gift from God to them directly for what was about to happen in Peoria a few short hours later. The Casting Crowns song finished as they were pulling into the parking lot at OSF Hospital.
When they got inside and the doctors performed their tests, it was revealed that one lung completely had stopped working from the influenza bug and the other one was working only 33%. The doctors then and there knew that she was not going to make it, and sure enough at 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning, February 11, little Caity went home to be with Father God and Jesus for all eternity. In just a few hours from now will be her visitation, and tomorrow will be her funeral service.
And while we are all saddened and shocked, her family and I, as their pastor, thank God for all the blessings he has granted them throughout this ordeal, including the presence of WCIC. Thanks to your radio station, the family received comfort throughout this horrific ordeal, and today at the funeral home, all of her favorite songs that she used to listen to on WCIC--from Newsboys to Toby Mac to Matthew West to Mercy Me to Jamie Grace, among others--will be played in the funeral home for all to hear at the visitation, and I have included some of the lyrics to these songs in my sermon for tomorrow's funeral service as well. So as a pastor, I thank you, WCIC, for all you do to share God's message, and on the behalf of the family as well, thank you. May God bless all of you and your listeners as well. God is truly with us, if only the world knew, how different would it be.
In Christ,
Peter Bloomington, Illinois

Biogeography of Southern California
Some of the first words of greeting that Earth Sciences Professor Judy King receives from Biogeography students are: "Have you seen the garden today?"; "Did you notice how much the Sycamore has grown?"; "Those Monkey Flowers are blooming like crazy!"; "The Pitcher Sage is drooping." Twenty-six students joined forces to plan a garden, learn the scientific and common names of their plants, dig, add amendment, dig some more, learn to plant carefully, spread wood chips, build a path, and water diligently.
The service-learning course Biogeography of Southern California has garnered much interest from the CSU Dominguez Hills community, receiving assistance from other earth science classes, the Earth Science Club, and even anthropology students who were just as enthusiastic as earth and environment majors.
Beyond planting a native plant garden, students learned the part each plant plays in its natural southern California ecosystem, including any uses made by Native Americans. The course curriculum included lectures on common ecosystems (e.g. chaparral, coastal sage scrub) followed up by field trips to these same systems. In the field, students may touch, smell, and see the concepts they have learned from lectures. Their learning is further heightened by seeing their own native garden plants in the wild and understanding each plant's contribution to its native habitat.
These students have become more committed to environmental science because of this course. Over the semester, they have evolved into practicing ecologists, able to critically evaluate the health of an ecosystem while out in the field. Most participants would like to continue in the environmental science fields as Resource Managers, Park Rangers, Environmental Consultants as well as continuing on to graduate school.
As an example of their commitment to the garden and their interest in the field, students hosted a booth at Earth Day to promote the Native Plant Garden. They took interested members of the campus and greater community on guided tours of the garden throughout the day and exemplified outstanding leadership and organizational skills.
"Once the native garden project was complete, students were enthusiastic to begin another project. Since the Palos Verde Peninsula Land Conservancy was our partner on the native garden project, it was easy to jump into the restoration of the blue butterfly's habitat," shared professor King.
The Palos Verde blue butterfly was designated as an endangered species in 1980 by the federal government. A few years later, the blue butterfly was thought to be extinct due to habitat loss. Luckily, a remnant population was discovered in 1994 and restoration efforts began. While scientists are cultivating the butterfly, CSU Dominguez Hills students spent the summer of 2012 digging, clearing, and preparing the soil in order to add 300 plants to the Chandler Preserve, an area that they hope future blue butterflies will call home. "Even though it was hot, dirty and physically demanding, it was rewarding and we are thrilled to be a part of reestablishing the Palos Verdes blue butterfly's natural habitat within the Chandler Preserve," said CSUDH student Jenny Greer. Student volunteers will continue to tend to the reintroduction site. They plan to be on hand for the release of the butterflies between March and May 2013. (Read the Dateline Dominguez article for the full story on the butterfly project.)

I am the author of Zero Install, but I hope to focus on concepts rather than particular implementations here. I'll start by describing our goal of allowing programmers, users, administrators, reviewers and QA teams to collaborate directly, and explain a few of the limitations of traditional centralised systems.
We'll look at the technical issues involved in distributing software without a central authority; how to prevent conflicts, handle dependencies, provide updates, share software efficiently, compile from source, and provide good security. Finally, I'll look at the possibilities of converting between different formats and systems.
Use cases
Stepping back for a moment from implementation issues, let us consider the various people ('actors') involved and the things they should be able to do. Here is a simplified Use Case diagram:
Here we have a user who selects and runs a program, which has been made available by a programmer. The user may provide feedback to help with future versions. Patched or improved versions may come from the original programmer, or from a third party represented here by a "QA team" providing timely bug-fixes on the programmer's behalf. Users must be able to receive these updates easily.
The user's choice of software will be guided by advice from their system administrator and/or from 3rd-party reviewers (e.g. magazines). In some situations a system administrator may need to lock down the system to prevent unauthorised programs from being run. The administrator may also pre-configure the software for their users, so their users don't need to do it themselves.
Since users run many different programs, and each program will use many libraries, a real system will involve many different programming teams, QA teams and reviewers.
Language translators and producers of binaries for particular architectures are not shown; they are included in "Programmer" or "QA team" (depending on whether their contributions are distributed separately or bundled in the main release). Providers of hosting and mirroring services are also not shown.
Note that in these high-level use cases I don't talk about 'installation' at all, because this isn't something anyone actually wants to do; it's just a step that may be required in order to do something else.
The challenge, then, is to provide a framework in which all of these different people, with their different roles and goals, can easily work together.
Traditional distributions
The picture above doesn't quite correspond to the model used by traditional Linux distributions, where users must pick a distribution and then only use software provided by that distribution. This model falls short of the ideals of Free software, because a user is only free to install programs approved by their distribution (of course, it may be possible for users to do this; here and in the rest of this essay I am concerned with things being easy and reliable).
As a software author in this system, I must convince one or more major distributions to accept my software before most users will be able to run it. Since distributions are unlikely to accept the maintenance burden of supporting software with a small user-base this makes it very difficult for new software to be adopted.
The situation is worse if the program has network effects. For example, few people will want to distribute documents in a format that is readable only by users of a particular distribution (because only that distribution has packaged the software required to read them). In this case, the programmer must convince all the major distributions to include their software. This problem also applies to programming languages: who will write programs in a new language, when many users can't get hold of the required compiler or interpreter?
For example: I want to write a program in D because I'm less likely to introduce security flaws that way, but I actually write it in C because many distributions don't have a D compiler.
The situation with traditional distributions is also highly inefficient, since it requires multiple QA teams (packagers) doing the same work over and over again. The diagram below shows some of the people involved in running Inkscape. I've only shown two distributions in this picture (plus a Linux From Scratch user, who gets the software directly), so you'll have to imagine the dozen or so other packagers doing the same for other distributions.
Do we need this many people working on essentially the same task? Are they bringing any real value? Without the Fedora packager, Fedora users wouldn't be able to install Inkscape easily, of course, so in that sense they are being useful. But if the main Inkscape developers were able to provide a package that worked on all distributions, providing all the same upgrade and management features, then we wouldn't need all these packagers.
Perhaps some of them would join the main Inkscape development team and do the same work there, but benefiting everyone, not just users of one distribution. Perhaps they would add exciting new features to Inkscape. Who knows?

In dealing with the recent heroin overdose epidemic in the region, local and state police have teamed up to crack down on drug dealers who operate "organized" delivery services to nearby communities.
BROCKTON – In dealing with the recent heroin overdose epidemic in the region, local and state police have teamed up to crack down on drug dealers who operate "organized" delivery services to nearby communities.
In the past three weeks, Brockton Police, State Police, members of the WEB Major Crime and Drug Task Force and other local departments have taken 11 alleged drug dealers off the streets.
Police said the dealers were making heroin, cocaine and crack deliveries to communities throughout the Brockton area, including Bridgewater, East Bridgewater, Whitman and other towns.
Sgt. Det. Scott Allen, who heads up the WEB task force, said police have been collaborating on almost a daily basis in order to share information and work together on investigations, something they didn't do with as much frequency in the past.
"The WEB Task Force has always had strong, working relationships with Brockton, State Police and other area investigators, but as a result of the recent rash of heroin- and opiate-related overdoses they have worked to enrich those relationships," Allen said.
Police made six arrests March 19 after being issued two search warrants for vehicles that were believed to be involved in the delivery of heroin and cocaine in the region.
One of the vehicles fled from Sergeant's Way in Brockton leading more than 20 marked and unmarked cruisers through the city before being stopped on Ash Street near West Chestnut Street.
Police arrested Roberto Fontes Andrade, 28, of 71 West Chestnut St., Brockton, and Lynette Calderon, 21, of 23 Prospect St., Brockton. Andrade was charged with failure to stop for police, operating on a suspended driver's license and conspiracy to violate drug laws. Calderon was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws.
A second vehicle was stopped near Sergeant's Way with four people inside. Police found nine grams of cocaine in the car and placed the four men under arrest.
Jovett Resende, 24, of 24 Wilmington St., Brockton; Brendan Fernandes, 25, of 25 Kerri Anne Ave., Brockton; Marcelino Correia Jr., 26, of 246 High St., Taunton and Nicholas Mendes, 32, of 35 Tribou St., Brockton, were all charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
On March 25, police arrested two women in East Bridgewater who were delivering crack cocaine to a man at his residence, Allen said.
Stephanie Silva, 30, of 14 Fletcher St., Brockton, and Pamela Docanto, 32, of 59 Atkinson Ave., Stoughton, were stopped a short distance from where the alleged drug deal took place.
Detectives seized several grams of crack cocaine from the man who received the delivery. In the vehicle they found the money used in the transaction, a cell phone that was used to arrange the sale and five other cell phones, Allen said.
Both women were charged with distribution of crack cocaine and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
On March 28, detectives made three more arrests in Brockton. Police received information about an "organized group" making heroin deliveries in the area.
During their investigation, detectives made several purchases of heroin from the suspects.
Three Brockton men were arrested Friday at a Main Street gas station as they were pumping gas.
Rashad Williams, 21, of 10 Longworth Ave., Apt. 16; Gabriel Depina, 20, of 63 Elm Ave., Apt 1; and Gildo Cardoso, 19, of 5 Rainville St., were all charged with distribution of heroin, possession with intent to distribute heroin and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
Police bought three grams of heroin from the suspects and found another five grams of heroin on Cardoso. They also seized several cell phones, which are believed to contain evidence of drug sales.
The men may be facing additional charges in Bridgewater, Allen said.
"More arrests are expected as the investigation remains open," he said.
Working closely together has yielded positive results and the different agencies will continue to work closely in the future, Allen said.
"Drug dealers do not have the jurisdictional issues that often confront and frustrate law enforcement agencies. With information sharing, detectives in neighboring towns can ensure that drug dealers who cross over into border towns and cities cannot hide their unlawful business by merely leaving their home base city or town of operation," Allen said.

Snow, sleet likely to affect drivers across Piedmont Va. overnight Sunday
CULPEPER — Crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation will report to work at 8 p.m. in the Culpeper District to prepare for the winter precipitation that is forecast to fall across Piedmont Virginia on Sunday night and early Monday morning. Counties to the west along the Blue Ridge Mountains and roads at higher elevations, including Interstate 64, I-66, Route 250 and other roads across the mountain passes are most likely to see accumulating snow.
Although some areas may not see significant snow motorists should check local weather and road conditions before traveling late Sunday evening through Monday morning. Pavement temperatures will be near freezing and drivers may encounter slick conditions, especially on bridge decks, ramps and turn lanes. They should be particularly cautious if they are traveling through the western counties along the Blue Ridge and on the mountain passes, including Interstate 64, I-66, and Routes 250, 33, 211 and 522.
Motorists should check VDOT's 511 travel website, www.511virginia.org, before leaving on a trip. The website is updated in real time with weather and road conditions for all highways in Virginia. Once on the road VDOT's 511 mobile app provides real-time traffic and weather information for both iPhone and Android platforms. Travelers can also call 511 from any telephone in Virginia for real-time information on traffic and road conditions.
Note to reporters and editors: Additional information about VDOT's preparations for winter weather, how the agency responds to snow and ice, FAQs and information about the technology and tools VDOT uses in its winter weather response is available online at www.virginiadot.org/travel/snow.asp.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

DragonFly 1.8.0 has been released. The biggest kernel change in this release is the addition of virtual kernel support and a virtual kernel build target. The biggest user-visible changes include updates to third party applications included in the base system, a major rewrite of NULLFS which removes all directory recursion restrictions from mount_null and removes nearly all the kernel resource overhead when using such mounts, and a multi-ip feature for jails.

Actor Andy Whitfield dies of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Andy Whitfield, star of the cable show "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," died Sept. 11 of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 39. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, which helps fight infections and diseases that invade the body. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that originate in bone marrow and defend against viruses and bacteria. It is the most common cancer of the lymphatic system, and it can start in the lymph nodes, immune system organs found throughout the body that serve to catch foreign bodies. Treatment typically includes chemotherapy and radiation, and sometimes bone marrow or stem cell transplants.

Saints Row 2 Walkthrough
|Mission 3-10: The Siege
With the new weapons, your character pumps up the Saints and readies them to take it to Maero directly. Let's roll.
The main base of the Brotherhood is the warehouse in the docks, and that's the target. Grab three followers, make sure your ammo is well-stocked, and head over. Once you get there, several lieutenants will appear on the map. Kill them all, then move on into the warehouse itself. Two doors in there are locked until the lieutenants go down; kick them open when you can, then enter the warehouse proper.
You'll have to go up many floors and take out several dozen members of the Brotherhood (and see a room of pot plants), but nothing you can't handle. Resistance is fairly light, at least compared to what you went through outside. If you lost any followers, never fear: as you climb floors, more Saints will randomly appear and fight the Brotherhood too. If you lose one, just grab one from the random guys who are around and you'll be good to go.
Once you reach the top of the building, you'll engage Maero one-on-one. He's got a mini-gun that can tear through the ducts that are on the roof, so you can't fully rely on them for cover. However, he does have to reload, and that's your time to move.
Run forward to the duct closest to Maero and crouch down. The duct is on a small incline, and there's a spot where you can crouch down so you're actually behind the cement the duct is sitting on. From there, you can hit Maero, but he cannot hit you. If you've got some RPGs from the previous mission still, whip them out and shoot him in the face repeatedly. We're not sure if it's a glitch, but after we hit him with the first rocket, he crouched down and caught his breath. When he stood back up, he stopped moving and shooting entirely. It was cake to finish him off then; even if he fought back however, his bullets couldn't go through our cover, and we were 100% safe. Check out the screenshot below to see the exact spot...
Once you cut his health to nothing, he manages to escape after a dramatic cut scene. Your character cries, although he gains Maero's mini-gun in his crib as a result. Can't complain about that.
Now, we've only got one more Brotherhood story mission, but just like the Ronin, we have to clear out the Brotherhood strongholds first. Just like the Ronin, we'll take them from west to east for no practical reason...

Sooner or later, if you are a dedicated teacher as I am, you want to really help your students grow in other ways besides just being better guitar players. Most are truly aching to get into either a good band situation, or at least to be able to competently as well as confidently, play with other people! This is such a big part of being a great musician, perhaps the biggest, and it's really where the "men get separated from the boys!"
I have always enjoyed taking them the next step, and have taken many students of mine into the studio to record their material, or helped them with their band practice, auditions or performances, such as a "Battle of the Bands." It's important to realize that these things, to a young fledgling player, are of the utmost importance, and the gravity they feel when stepping into this "band" world is very real and very heavy indeed.
I mean, there is a certain degree of very wonderful innocence to this whole time in a player's life, and we as teachers must never forget that. Over-pressuring somebody just isn't cool, especially when they are already feeling some fears and insecurity about the new situation to begin with.
There are many types of players who see things in many different ways, and who approach this whole thing uniquely, and even though it may seem strange to you or I, it may be just perfect for them, and how they'd like to go about it. For example, a student of mine was just telling me about a senior project I've been helping his band with; in which they are supposed to end up with a recording. What he told me truly surprised me; He said they are recording all of their instruments separately and then putting it all together. They also said they wanted to use this as a recording they could present to people so they could get live performing work. Of course, I told him I didn't really think this was such a good idea, especially if they expect to get live work from it. I'm sure the recordings are going to come out great, since there is a band member who fancies himself as an engineer, and wants to do this his way, and get very analytical about it all, but I'm afraid they'll lose any "live" quality that could've been committed to the recording process. I suggested that they also record themselves totally "raw", so they can hear what they truly sound like, and to then try fooling around with the "track by track" approach.
He agreed, and I think he also realized that perhaps they were diluting their raw, "live" excitement by being too stiff in their recording approach. But of course, this is the way of the world, and lots of kids with bands can sometimes get more wrapped up in the recording process than in the musical content of their band itself.
So keep all this in mind as you are mentoring your young player/students into the world of recording and playing in bands. Their confidence will surely grow, and they will forever be grateful to you for your educated input!

The Obama administration's 2014 budget is calling for a strategic review of the Tennessee Valley Authority, opening the possibility that the largest U.S. public utility could be sold.
The Obama administration's 2014 budget is calling for a strategic review of the Tennessee Valley Authority, opening the possibility that the largest U.S. public utility could be sold.
TVA officials seemed to have been caught off guard by the budget proposal released Wednesday. Board Chairman Bill Sansom and President and CEO Bill Johnson said the proposal was unexpected.
"At this point we don't know what the strategic review might include or what options might be explored," Sansom says in a statement. "In the meantime, we will continue operating TVA in a sound financial manner in support of the people of the Tennessee Valley and the interests of the Federal Government."
Although TVA does not receive taxpayer appropriations, the utility's expenditure of borrowed funds does count in the federal deficit.
The budget section titled "Reform TVA" suggests the utility likely will have to exceed the $30 billion debt cap allowed by law in order to upgrade its aging infrastructure, meet new environmental regulations and produce enough power to meet future demand. That includes scrapping or upgrading some coal-fired power plants and expanding the use of nuclear power.
"Reducing or eliminating the federal government's role in programs such as TVA, which have achieved their original objectives and no longer require federal participation, can help put the nation on a sustainable fiscal path," the budget reads.
Sen. Lamar Alexander called the possible sale a bad idea.
The Tennessee Republican notes that there is by law no federal taxpayer liability for TVA debt and says that privatizing the utility could lead to higher electrical costs for the more than 9 million people it serves in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
"While TVA management prefers a flexible debt cap, it has assured me that it can live within the current debt limit if necessary," Alexander's statement reads.
The suggestion of selling TVA has emerged before. Ronald Reagan promoted the idea before he became president, but he never seriously pursued it.
TVA was created in 1933 to deliver low-cost electricity, control flooding and improve the economy.

Lady Panthers lock up top seed with win
THOMAS — For the five senior on the Snake River High School volleyball team Wednesday night's regular season finale against Marsh Valley was not only senior night and the chance to lock up the top spot in next week's 3A Fifth District volleyball tournament, it was also the final time the group which has played together since fourth grade would play together at Snake River High School.
After a pre-game ceremony with introductions, gifts, a song and some tears the group and the rest of the team took care of business on the floor.
The Lady Panthers took down Marsh Valley in straight sets 25-11, 25-12, 28-18.
Already up two sets, Hannah Murdock, Brylie Bair, Kylee Orr and Billie Gibson looked back at Max Shelley who was standing ready to serve to start the final set and said "This is the last set, let's make it count."
Head coach Shelli Van Orden echoed those sentiments when she told the team "Let's go out with a bang."
While it did not go as easy as the first two, the Lady Panthers were able to get some big plays down the stretch too earn the win.
Murdock had three straight services aces to give Snake River a three-point lead at 9-6.
Marsh Calley battled back to tie the score at 9-9. A service error by the Eagles gave Snake River a 10-9 lead, a lead they would never relinquish.
Between the power hitting of Shelley and Bair and the defense of Murdock the Lady Panther closed out the match.
The Lady Panthers control of the match started from the opening point of the match.
Marsh Valley had no answer for Bair and Shelley allowing the Panthers to roll through the first two sets.
Bair finished her final home game with 17 kills and eight digs. Shelley added six kills and six digs and Murdock had 17 digs.
Snake River finished their district schedule undefeated and earned the top seed in the district tournament next week.
The Lady Panthers open the district tournament on Tuesday at 2 p.m. at American Falls against a to be determined opponent.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
Here's an example of periwinkle (vinca minor) used under a tree. I wish I could say this was my nicely groomed yard, but it's not. The photo was taken in Hopkinsville.
The gardener has created a no-grow zone around the border of the territory the periwinkle has been allotted. It keeps the periwinkle in bounds and gives a neat look.
I see a little maple coming up in the periwinkle bed despite the gardener's attentions. Maple trees are so prolific and so well-adapted to this part of Kentucky that maple seedlings are a perpetual problem in any nearby hedges, shrubbery, or beds of perennials.
I must update what I wrote about periwinkle last spring. I said that I hadn't had any trouble with my periwinkle wanting to creep out of its beds. This summer with plentiful rainfall, it has finally grown into a thick green mass and in its newfound vigor, it has started throwing out lots of runners into the lawn. I've had to rip up long strings that have crept out and rooted down before I found it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SimpleBeauty from GORGEOUS SURPRISE I was looking for a dress to wear to a party this weekend and the sales associate brought me this dress in the last size they had xxs saying that it runs big and I should try it. I reluctantly did because I'm a thick girl, curvy frame and definitely not on the thin side (140lbs 34.27.42). Well what a surprise, IT FIT!! It's made of thick SUPER stretchy material and it does run big, so it was still classy and not sleezy looking. She was right. The pleated sleeves adds elegance along with the tulip hem, couldn't pass it up... had to get it for my collection.

Rated 4 out of 5 by lizzay0531 from Love the Color!! I saw the dress and had to have it because of it's color. I have a bigger bust and small waist and ended up going a size up. However, through the course of the night when wearing it, the material loosened up a lot. With that being said, I would definitely recommend going a size down.

The major problems is not the duplication of libs, it's the fact that they don't get updated...No security updates... At least to my knowledge.
According to MY knowledge *all* PBI packages have option to check updated version and update to latest package from "PBI Update Manager". That's the PBI developer responsibility to keep PBI freshed up.
Major feature of PBI is that you can install any application/update/whateveryouwant to your computer/server without internet connection.
PBI is not an installer only- it's container for commands, applications, data- you can make your own PBI and install drivers for example, you can install your commercial applications into PC-BSD without asking permission to put it on official pbidir.com page.
If you don't like PBI *THEN DON'T USE IT!*- use ports and packages as usual.
Case closed.

MARENGO – The Marengo City Council has no intentions of taking away guns from registered owners, despite numerous residents thinking otherwise.
The council jump-started discussions Monday on a provision in the concealed-carry bill awaiting Gov. Pat Quinn's signature that allows municipalities a 10-day window from the bill becoming law to enact an assault weapons ban for their communities.
The overriding response was that Marengo should leave its gun ordinances alone because the city currently has no prohibitions on assault weapons. Police Chief Joseph Hallman said in a memo sent to aldermen last week that his department saw no need for a ban.
"After what I heard this evening, I doubt the City Council would vote for a ban," Mayor Donald Lockhart say. "There doesn't seem to be support for a ban."
Nearly 20 residents spoke against any ban during a 30-minute public comment period that had residents initially wondering why Marengo was proposing a ban and fearing officials were infringing on their Second Amendment rights to bear arms.
Lockhart reiterated the city was merely discussing whether a ban was necessary because of the provision in the concealed-carry bill that passed the Illinois Legislature this spring.
"There's some rumor going around that we are trying to take away your guns," Lockhart told the residents. "I don't know who started that, but that isn't true. We are giving this a fair hearing in front of everybody."
The Legislature passed the concealed-carry bill after a federal appeals court in December struck down Illinois' ban on concealed carry. Quinn, a staunch gun-control advocate, has not indicated he would sign it.
The court ordered a concealed-carry law to be in effect by June 9, but Attorney General Lisa Madigan received an extension that pushed the deadline to July 9 to allow her office time to decide whether to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
Illinois is the last state in the nation to prohibit concealed carry. If signed, the bill allows registered gun owners to carry concealed firearms anywhere except many public areas, including in schools, government buildings, stadiums, hospitals, parks and on mass transit.
Illinois gun owners with a valid Firearm Owner Identification card would have to pay a $150 fee and complete 16 hours of training to obtain a concealed-carry permit. Local police departments can object to any concealed-carry application if they believe the applicant is dangerous to themselves or the community.
In other business, the council inched the city's southern borders closer to Interstate 90 after aldermen annexed roughly 350 total acres on a 6-1 vote from five different property owners located within Riley Township.
The council has added nearly 2,000 acres along Route 23 so far this year to try and reach the area of Route 23 and I-90.
The effort allows Marengo officials to formally negotiate with the Illinois Tollway Authority on financing an I-90 interchange city officials hope will spur economic development.
City administrators hope to present aldermen with one last annexation agreement by mid-July.

Debunking Reasons For ACTA Secrecy: Just Enforcement Doesn't Tell The Whole Story
from the open-things-up dept
One of the claims that's been made in defense of the "secrecy" around ACTA is that the agreement is really just about "enforcement," rather than any legal changes. While we've already questioned how true that claim really is, John Bergmayer, does a nice job explaining why we should be worried about an agreement on "enforcement" anyway: because the question of enforcement is meaningless compared to the actual procedure of enforcement. Bergmayer quotes Rep. John Dingell to make the point:
"I'll let you write the substance ... you let me write the procedure, and I'll screw you every time."The fear here is that while ACTA might not technically change US law, it could easily change US procedures and policies on "enforcement" allowing the effective change in the law, without people even realizing it. He quotes Professor Thomas Main, saying:
"procedural reforms can have the effect of denying substantive rights without the transparency, safeguards and accountability that attend public and legislative decision-making."And, indeed, this is what we've see in the leaked drafts of ACTA. While most (though, certainly not all) of the proposals that have been leaked don't necessarily include a direct change to US law, they often do subtly word things so that existing rights, safeguards and accountability are left out, just as Prof. Main warns. To make sure those subtle changes do not have serious impacts that let certain special interests (in the words of Rep. Dingell) "screw" the public, doesn't it make sense to reveal the contents of what's being negotiated?

Links to get FREE Samples
It's not w/ a specific company- but I STRONGLY suggest getting a twitter acct. if only to follow different tea companies. (Facebook is good for that too) Companies often tweet coupons and even offers for free samples. I just got the 8 sample Maestro Collection valued at $58 from Adagio for free.
If you don't want to post your own tweets, that's fine. But I'd strongly suggest at least following tea companies.
i live on twitter! ok not really but i check it often, it is nice if you use the "lists" meaning you can make a tea merchant list or a tea fanatic list etc.
whaaaaat? How'd you manage that?…. I'm on twitter and follow quite a few tea merchants or tea related users… Not adagio though, so i definitely missed out on that…
LOL Garrett- simply by following them and paying attention to their tweets. They wanted volunteers so I did.
While we're talking about twitter and tea companies, what companies do you follow, and have any others given out free samples? I saw the Adagio master sampler, but I didn't go for it — wish I had!
here is my tea list: http://twitter.com/amazonv/tea/members
you can follow the list itself, or pick through the members and choose peeps to follow

Yay! Getting a free sample of one that was on my shopping list – Competition Grade Tie Guan Yin. Thanks for the tip!
Yay! I just signed up for Sticky Rice Puerh Tuocha :-) Thank you for the heads up!
thanks for this! I signe up for tie guan yin… but i didn't get a confirmation email. hope it comes soon! :)
i have tried the sticky rice before and it really does make one think of sticky rice, so i went for camel's breath, i had to
PS-if ya'll are on any social networks (facebook, twitter, etc) please RT tony's link or share (in FB) he's shooting for 300 free samples, i know we all have tea friends, pass it on!
I caved, even though I'm scared of pu-erh. I signed up for the jasmine, which seemed least scary. I do really want to try their wild orange pu-erh though – it just looks so cool!
Also shared the link on Twitter. :-)
I signed up for the Sticky Rice Puerh. I was between that and the Golden Bi Luo. I would have definitely picked the Wild Orange Puerh, had that been a sample choice.
I signed up for the Golden Bi Luo but Sticky Rice Puerh Tuocha was really calling me. I can't wait to read the reviews on it!
Ooh, a Chicago store? Awesome, my current hometown. :) I decided to play it safe with the competition grade oolong, since I've never had pu-erh before and I'm not sure if I'd like it. (Granted a free sample is probably the best place to try it, but I'd rather try a high-quality version of something I already like!)
I LOVE sticky rice… So I totally had to go with the Sticky Rice Puerh..
Thanks for the link
http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=4569d1a169c578b341fb2c3b4&id=0ab4f86b44 he's just finishing sending them out now, so if you haven't gotten yours yet it's on the way!
Free Tea? The first 200 people to email us with your name and address will receive some free tea. All you have to do is explain what you like and don't like about our site. Just email [email protected]
Unfortunately many of these great offers aren't available to Canadian residents:( I really like www.shantitea.ca – not only are they Canadian but they give you a free sample of your choice just for creating an account and then each time you post a review (including a review of your free sample!) you get ANOTHER free sample! You could theoretically try each of their teas for free but they are so good I always end up buying some!
WWW.SPECIALTEABREW.COM gives free samples with every order!
Thru 9/19 use code ORGSAMPLE and get samples of each of Twinnings new Fair Trade and Organic Teas. Now, if you'll excuse me while I go cave:)
Free should mean FREE! No hidden costs, shipping charges, no free sample with purchase etc… We end up paying a lot of money for a few teaspoons of tea!
It frustrates me when you go through the process, and then find out that it is not wholly free. To me, shipping on a small amount of tea is not worth my money. And if I go through the process for something I would not pay for, I am upset at the waste of my time. If they do truly free tea, I am likely to order from them in the future. Tea with strings attached does not usually get an order from me. It is all about their posturing and confidence in their products.
OK… I'm going to add my 2 cents in here, because, I would like to share an experience that I went through some years ago, right when I was starting out my business. Back then, I offered free samples if they emailed me a request for them. (My shopping cart wasn't equipped for a 'free' order or a coupon that would render an order free)
Anyway, someone got hold of the information and posted it to a "freebie" type of message board, and one morning I woke up to over A THOUSAND sample requests, with more coming in as I attempted to respond to the thousand requests.
Now… I was just a one person operation. Because I didn't buy bulk and repackage (all the tea blends were my own), I didn't have the luxury of having my samples pre-packaged for me, I had to do this on my own. My samples consisted of a teaspoon of tea into a t-sac, and I would fold the t-sac to fit into the little zipper pouch that was labeled for the tea… That may not seem like much to do, but, if you have to do over 2K of those, it becomes quite a chore.
And that doesn't even begin to tackle the cost of it. Each package cost about $1 (or more, depending upon the number of samples that were requested) to ship. That "free" sample phase ended up costing me about $2,500 when I was finished, and sadly I couldn't even fulfill all the requests, because, that would have ended up bankrupting me. I ended up making a lot of people unhappy because I couldn't send them the free tea they felt they were "entitled to."
The most frustrating part of this was after I finished sending out a wave of these free samples, some people ended up creating another email address and asking me to send them MORE free samples (as if I wouldn't notice that the address was the same)
The purpose of a company sending out free samples is so that hopefully, the one receiving the sample will LIKE the tea enough to purchase it, not so that they will like it enough to ask for more free tea. Most of these people did not end up purchasing from me, they were just interested in the freebie. In the end, I probably ended up with 3 customers (very loyal ones) out of the thousand or so free samples I sent out.
so… I can totally appreciate the need to include a "purchase" with the free sample, or, even charging $1 or so to offset the cost of shipping. It's even nicer if that comes with a coupon for your first purchase so that you, in a sense, get your money back.
I am with you on the business end of samples, it has to be expensive. One sample is not worth the shipping to me, why would it be any different for a business. I am always surprised when a company offers truly free tea.
Now i have ordered samples, but the company had enough tea that I wanted to try; and that warranted the shipping. I think I ordered fifteen different teas. It is rare for me to find a tea company that has enough tea variety samples, at the right price, for me to order. It is always about the cost benefit analysis.
The Redbush Tea Company is sending out free samples to folks in the UK, Ireland, and BFPO only here:
Not sure if there's a shipping cost since I live in the USA and can't get through to check.
I don't understand. i sent contact request for samples on the Purple fish company, Jade Tea Pot. I am confused. Thanks!
I did as suggested for TEASTA.com and requested the free samples and used the code. I feel like a crook. But I have no money. They will come after me for sure now.

The Bay Area is "Ground Zero"
Real Estate "Flash Sales" Prove Market Is Hot
If you're looking for a home in the Bay Area, you will probably need two things on your side: luck, and a lot of cash.
Those who aren't willing to compete with up to dozens of other offers on a home are now trying to buy it – hours after it's listed on the market.
The new trend has been dubbed by realty experts as "flash sales" – any sale that happens within 24 hours.
For example, a home in East Palo Alto on Gates Street was put on the market on March 19. It got nine offers the same day and sold for above asking price within 24 hours.
Glenn Kelman, CEO of online real estate brokerage Redfin which is set up in 19 U.S. markets, said that trend is growing in the Bay Area and calls it "Ground Zero" for an incredibly hot housing market, one that experienced an incredible boom at the start of 2013 in January.
I hate to be the kind of person who brags, but… well… told you so.
Oh, I forgot. We're in the Bay Area. I need to humble brag.
I'm so amazed and honored to be proven right.
The Bay Area is back, baby. It's Ground Zero!
Just how special?
Ken DeLeon, a realtor, said his latest listing is a 1200 square foot home in Palo Alto that he just put on the market Thursday. "The amazing part is just within 24 hours, we already had a client with a Chinese all-cash buyer offer us more than 300,000 above and we said, 'No thank you, please wait,'" DeLeon said.
He and other realtors said they're still catering to those wealthy foreign buyers, mostly from China and Russia; however, with historic-low mortgage interest rates and an inventory that's also hitting record lows, they said the competitive cash offers are no longer limited to the high-end homes.
Hey Realtors – I gotta tip for you: Price the house in RMB. Why? There'd be even more opportunities to add 8's to the price!
"There are sometimes traffic jams outside open houses," said Kelman. "Folks get worried they can't wait for the offer deadline on Sundays, so they make a preemptive strike to try and buy it on the spot."
Forget waiting 3 hours to eat brunch at Mamas, or camping out 3 days to enroll your kids into pre-school… now you have to camp out a week to attend a open house.
Hold on for a sec.
I had to get a kleenex.
The tears won't stop flowing.
This is so beautiful.
The Bay Area is back. Better than ever.
This is the year where the $ per square foot in the Real Bay Area will beat the average $ per square foot for Manhattan. You heard it here first.

Disturbing Footage: Elisa Lam (Whos Body Was Found On Roof Of Hotel) Acting Like She Was On A Whole Mess Of Drugs!
After Guests complained about low water pressure, a maintenance worker made the gruesome discovery on Tuesday in a water cistern on the roof of the Cecil Hotel. Hotel surveillance footage showed Lam inside an elevator pushing buttons and sticking her head out the doors, and looking in both directions.
Investigators used body marking to identify 21-year-old Elisa Lam, said police spokeswoman Officer Diana Figueroa. A maintenance worker at the Cecil Hotel found the body Tuesday morning after guests complained of low water pressure.
Lam traveled to California alone on Jan. 27 from Vancouver, British Columbia. She was last seen by hotel employees on Jan. 31.
Investigators were trying to determine whether there was foul play in the woman's death or "a very, very strange accident" occurred, police spokeswoman Officer Sara Faden said.
"The location of the water tanks is very small and configured in a very tight way so it's a little more difficult to get the body out," Faden said. The body was discovered at about 10 a.m., but officials spent much of the day struggling to remove it from the water tank.
The hotel is located in downtown Los Angeles, which has long struggled against the creeping destitution of nearby Skid Row, where drug addiction and homelessness is rampant. At the time of Lam's disappearance, police said it appeared suspicious.
Lam was traveling to Santa Cruz, about 350 miles north of Los Angeles, and officials said she tended to us" - CBS

Frame rate target is a function Nvidia launched with its GTX 680 series. If your favorite game isn't very demanding and your graphics card is capable of spewing out a super high frame rate, then you can limit it to 60fps or lower. This will lower the GPU temperatures, noise and your electricity bill as well.
As you can see from the curve, we dropped below the 60fps during gaming, which meant frame rate target wasn't active.
The graph you see on the picture below (left) shows the workload and consumption when frame rate target is off. On the right you see what happens when frame rate target is on. GPU was utilized to about 100% until we turned on the frame rate target option, which significantly decreased it. Additionally, consumption also went down. The values you see were measured while playing AvP at 1920x1080.
We used EVGA's Precision v.3.0.2. and this tool allows setting frame rate target to any value from 25fps to 120fps. Note: you must restart the application for the setting to apply.

The U.S. Commerce Department earlier this morning weighed in with a report showing a slight downward revision in first-quarter gross domestic product growth.
Specifically, after the government had initially estimated the first-quarter gain at a modest 2.5%, it examined a series of new or more complete data over the past month that showed the economy had expanded by a slightly slower 2.4% pace during the January-through-March period.
Both rates, the advance estimate issued a month ago, and the latest, or second, estimate released this morning, were dramatically better than the scant 0.4% estimate for the final quarter of 2012. The estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the advance estimate. A final revision on first-quarter GDP will be reported late next month, followed on the last week of July with the advance look at second-quarter GDP.
As to this latest report, the increase in GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, increased inventory accumulation, residential fixed investment, and nonresidential fixed investment. Higher motor vehicle production also boosted GDP. On the other hand, the nation's aggregate output, or GDP, was slowed by declines in spending by federal, state, and local governments, as a nationwide effort is being made to get bloated budgets under some control.
All in all, this was not a game changing report, and one that is unlikely to alter things going forward. As for the current three months ending on June 30th, our thinking continues to be that the nation's economic output or GDP, will gain a less-welcoming 1%-2%. The recent run of uneven economic releases, coupled with some possible destocking of inventories, may contribute to that presumed lesser showing.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Just 190 kms from Chandigarh, lies Thanedar, a small orchard town tucked away 10kms from Narkanda. This was the birthplace of apples in India and affords a serene and calm experience. For the activity oriented there are some lovely walks as also a trek to a peak nearby. From here we reach the beautiful valley of Kinnaur, which is also the land that produces some of the best apples in the region. Left untouched for thousands of years it emerges only for six months before being submerged in snow. Situated at a height of 2700m surrounded by massive towering mountains on all sides the valley also boasts the gurgling Baspa river, famous for trout fishing possibilities.A must see little village with a small population is Batseri - a typical Kinnauri village, with a lovely local Devta temple. Moving from Sangla to another spectacular journey is a Sarahan, famous for its more than 800 years old Bhimakali Temple, one of the best examples of hill architecture. The place provides awesome views of Shirkhand range, reminding us of the greatness of the Himalayas.The valley of Spiti is unlike any other. We move from lush green valley of Sangla into Barren moonscape of Spiti valley with few signs of vegetation. Yet this land renders visitors speechless with it's harsh raw beauty of the landscape.Shoja, on the other hand is an angler's paradise, due to its proximity to the Tirthan River where Trout fishing is a definite possibility. Shoja at just 5 kms from Jalori Pass at 3223m provides breathtaking sceneries and walks to nearby lakes and forts.

Regarding the recent debate on birth control pills and their morality, if a Roman Catholic woman can afford to buy the pills and then uses them, is she a sinner?
No one seems to address this conundrum. Given their ability to purchase the pill, how do Christian women who use birth control against the rules of their religion rationalize that decision?
One way is a perpetual confession of one's sins, which suggests hypocrisy.
Another is to stand up and challenge one's religion. Make a prayerful decision that the actions one is taking do not offend God, then forget about sin and start living.

Peggy Delaney 1924-2010
Peggy Delaney, lovingly known as the "matriarch of the Irish community" in Toronto, Canada, died April 5 of cancer. She was born and raised in Dublin and arrived in Canada in 1954 after a career with Radio Eireann, the Abbey Theatre and Aer Lingus. In the 1960s, she served as district sales manager for the Canadian division of Avon Cosmetics, and in the 1970s served as director of Eaton's Art Gallery, where she worked with senior management of the Bank of Montreal to advise them on their acquisition of the Nicholas de Grandmaison Collection of ninety portraits of North American Indians. In the mid-1980s, Delaney joined cosmaceutical firm Cellex-C International.
While raising four children, Delaney was one of the founding members of the Ireland Fund of Canada, as well as its first executive director. She was involved with cultural and aid organizations including the Irish Immigrant Aid Society, the Toronto Irish Players (of which she became president in 1994), the Rose of Tralee, Inner City Angels and the Canadian Rhett Syndrome Society. She was Grand Marshal of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in 1997 and Irish Person of the Year in 1998. Delaney is survived by her sister, four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Dr. Patrick H. Hughes 1935-2010
Professor and researcher in the field of drug addiction and treatment, Patrick Hughes died March 27 at age 75 in Fort Myers, FL. Born in Latrobe, PA, he graduated from Columbia University, did his medical internship at Stanford University and earned his MD from the University of Pittsburgh.
In the late 1960s, Hughes' seminal work in drug addiction and recovery played an important role in the changing understanding of drug addiction as a disease rather than a moral failing. Hughes worked with the Black Panthers and other groups in his research as a University of Chicago professor, then published the book Behind the Wall of Respect on his findings. He traveled to Indonesia, Iran, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, India, Burma and other countries to understand drug addiction around the world, as Principal Investigator for the World Health Organization. He then served 20 years at the Tampa Bay Pines V.A. and researched physician drug abuse at the University of South Florida. He was a featured doctor in People magazine in 1978. Hughes is survived by a daughter and four siblings.
Charles Moore 1931-2010
Charles Moore, a civil rights-era photographer who shot seminal images that played a role in the passage of civil rights legislation, died March 11 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He died at age 79 of natural causes. Born in Alabama, Moore grew up the son of a white Baptist minister who condemned racism. He served in the Marines as a photographer, and then studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, which landed him a job as a newspaper photographer in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1958, Moore photographed the arrest of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and in 1963 the use of dogs and high-pressure hoses on peaceful civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham. In 1965, Moore photographed a white lawman beating a black demonstrator during the Bloody Sunday march from Selma, Alabama. These images, which appeared in Life magazine, garnered popular support for the passage of civil rights laws. Moore was awarded the inaugural Kodak Crystal Eagle Award for Impact in Photojournalism in 1989.
Moore is survived by his brother, two sons and two daughters, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Elinor Smith 1911-2010
Born Elinor Patricia Ward on Long Island in 1911, Elinor Smith Sullivan was one of the youngest pioneers of aviation and part of the group of women that made a name for themselves flying airplanes in the first half of the 20th century. She died March 19 at age 98 in a nursing home in Palo Alto, California.
Smith's father, Tom Ward, was a vaudeville performer who changed the family name to Smith as there was already a Tom Ward in vaudeville. Due to a severe dislike of trains, he traveled by airplane and took Elinor on her first flight as a child. Her father took aviation lessons and purchased a Waco 10 biplane, which Elinor learned to fly. She made her first solo flight at age 15 and earned her pilot's license at 16. Quickly gaining a public following and corporate sponsors, she set a record for women's solo endurance flying at 13.5 hours in January 1929, then broke it with a 26.5 hour flight just three months later. She also set and broke the women's altitude record, first at 27,419 feet in 1930 and then at 32,576 feet within a year. This latter flight nearly killed her when she lost consciousness during landing after motor trouble on the Bellanca monoplane.
Smith married Patrick Sullivan II, an ex-New York State assemblyman, who died in 1956 after 23 years of marriage. She is survived by a son, three daughters, five grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Patricia Travers 1927-2010
Patricia Travers, child prodigy violinist who appeared at age 11 to solo with the New York Philharmonic, died February 9 at age 82 of cancer. At age 13, she starred in the Hollywood comedy There's Magic in Music, and in her early 20s recorded Charles Ives's Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano with Columbia Records. She played with the London and Berlin Philharmonics as well as the Boston and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, and was heard often on national radio.
In the early 1950s, she withdrew completely from public performances and lived quietly with her parents well past her middle age. She never married or had children, and her death, in a Montclair, NJ nursing home was confirmed by her lawyer, John Sullivan.
