Tone down post election anger
Wick's World
Many people turned their anger toward the government after the elections of George W. Bush, so this year's post-election anger against Obama is not a new thing. But the anger feels more vicious, both before and after the election. Hanging Obama in effigy in Duluth and Rochester does not a proud Minnesotan make.
After Florida handed him the election, I can't tell you how many times I heard giddy Bush supporters say, "You lost; just get over it." It doesn't appear that it will be any easier this time around.
In an incident of post-election anger, an Arizona woman critically injured her husband with her SUV because he wasn't an enthusiastic enough of a Republican and failed to vote. Last night I was at author Sherman Alexie's book reading. During the Q & A that followed, he made note of the college kids who had posted vicious racist remarks online that were aimed at Obama following his re-election. He warned the youth in the audience that an electronic trail could follow years down the road to that place in an office interview when you are questioned about your vicious racist attacks from November 2012. Not to mention that these kinds of attacks are uncivil and just plain wrong.
Since the election, I have received several ugly Facebook posts from people who expressed their anger and outrage at the outcome of the election. I deduced that, like the Romney campaign itself, most of his supporters just never expected to lose.
One cousin posted her rage about the outcome of the election and concluded with, "I hate my government!"
Here is where I have to take issue. Where is all that anti-government sentiment directed? Do you mean that you hate the federal government workers at the post office — the ones who make house calls six days a week to deliver your mail? Do you hate those other federal government employees, like your own son who is called a soldier and protects your country? Of course you don't.
Do you hate these parts of your government: the county workers who plow your roads and fix your bridges and highways? How about all state government employees? Do you hate the teachers who educate your children in the public schools? Do you hate the prison guards, both state and federal, who protect society from the criminal element? Maybe it is the city government employees that you hate, such as the police and firemen. Do you hate your city librarian?
I could go on forever but I think I have made my point. These people are "your government." The fact that you voted as a citizen makes you a part of "your government." However, I don't think it is your government that you really hate. I would say you hate the representatives of our government that are not bidding your will — specifically members of the opposite party. Unfortunately, most of us do.
The negative tones of the opposing campaigns have only amplified our great division. We must get over that. We are all in this together and until our country begins to work for the common good instead of looking down the road at the next election, then our country will remain in this quagmire.
We can start by being civil to each other and stop the name-calling. Tone down the anger. Consider there were just as many voters upset about Bush's re-election as there are now about Obama getting a second term. And we all lived through those years, as we will live through these.
Republicans can no longer carry the mantra of making sure Obama is a one-term president. Democrats can no longer blame the past administration for the economic disaster or continue to call it Bush's War. Our future is now in both parties' hands and Congress and the president need to be held accountable. Going forward only works if we do this together, politicians and citizens alike. The alternative is unacceptable. Leave your egos at the door and let's get to work.

In the period of the latter-half of the 19th century and up until the first World War, the belt was a decorative as well as utilitarian part of the uniform, particularly among officers. In the armed forces of Prussia, Tsarist Russia, and other Eastern European nations, it was common for officers to wear extremely tight, wide belts around the waist, on the outside of the uniform, both to support a saber as well as for aesthetic reasons. These tightly cinched belts served to draw in the waist and give the wearer a trim physique, emphasizing wide shoulders and a pouting chest. Often the belt served only to emphasize waist made small by a corset worn under the uniform, a practice which was common especially during the Crimean Wars and was often noted by soldiers from the Western front. Political cartoonists of the day often portrayed the tight waist-cinching of soldiers to comedic effect, and some cartoons survive showing officers being corseted by their inferiors, a practice which surely was uncomfortable but deemed to be necessary and imposing.

One of my favourite gals had a birthday not long ago, and her adorable sister asked me to make her something. Ive grown quite attached to this family, they are very sweet. You may remember the cowboy hat cake I made for them, and more recently the moustache cake she commissioned. Now finally I was getting a chance to design something just for her.
Months ago,when I brought treats to a ska show, she munched happily, offhandedly she mentioned that the golden snitches from Harry Potter would be cool as a cake pop. So after much deliberation between her sister and I, we decided on Potter Pops. The coolest designs I could think of were the snitches, and the sorting hat.
As always there was a learning curve putting these guys together, but it was super fun. I don't think I stopped giggling the whole time I was working on the sorting hat's faces.
The snitches started out as carrot cake dipped in white chocolate, with white fondant wings. I painted them bright yellow, with a coat of shimmer over top to make them nice and bright and shiny.
For the sorting hats I shaped chocolate cherry cheesecake into cones and dipped it in dark chocolate. when it was set up I used modelling chocolate to shape the faces and add details.
It would seem I can always rely on this crew to keep me inspired!
I also made some other fun cake pops for friends awhile ago. I made carrot shaped carrot cake,chocolate dipped brownies, zombies,and hello kitties. So much fun. And so much easier to deliver and serve than cup cakes,or traditional cake

Report: Ohio kidnapper called mother of victim
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro says he called the mother of one of his victims while she was in captivity and told her she was OK, according to a videotaped FBI interrogation.
Castro also told investigators that authorities missed opportunities for capturing him while he held the women he kidnapped.
Castro says in the video obtained by NBC's "Today" show and first reported Friday that he called the mother of Amanda Berry and told her that Berry was OK and that she was his wife now.
He said he hung up and they didn't have a conversation with her. Berry's mother died before Berry was freed in May.
Castro told investigators that video surveillance near the school of victim Gina DeJesus should have tipped police to him. And he said a girlfriend noticed a TV on in a room occupied by victim Michelle Knight and got him worrying he might be caught.
A message was left with representatives of the victims Friday morning.
Castro, 53, was a month into his life sentence for holding three women captive in his home for a decade when he committed suicide Tuesday night.
Two state reviews are under way, Ohio prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said, one looking into the suicide itself, and the other is examining whether Castro received proper medical and mental health care leading up the suicide.
A representative of Castro's family was expected to claim his body Thursday, the Franklin County coroner said.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. "I'm not a monster. I'm sick," he told the judge at sentencing.
Castro's captives -- Berry, DeJesus and Michelle Knight -- disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20. They were rescued from Castro's rundown house May 6 when Berry broke through a screen door.
Investigators said the women were bound, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities.

The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA), a department of ACT, Inc., recognized Sweetwater Independent School District for having two schools in their district make the 2010 NCEA Higher Performing Schools List. The following schools received the honor and Higher Performing (HP) recognition in the following areas:
- Southeast Elementary School, Math and Reading - Higher Performing in all Areas
- Sweetwater Intermediate School, Math and Reading
- Sweetwater Middle School, Social Studies
The Higher Performing Schools (formerly known as Just for the Kids Schools) are identified by two measures: consistent improvement in student achievement from previous years (growth) and/or absolute student achievement using the school's Commended Performance results on the spring 2010 TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) test. NCEA's higher performing methodology controls for school and student demographics to allow for an apples-to-apples comparison of school achievement and to demonstrate that with the commitment of educators, all schools can have success no matter the zip code. NCEA provided award certificates to each Higher Performing School and the district.

Amy Boone-McCreesh's sculptures and 2-D mixed-media works are both self-referential and highlight a larger aesthetic idea, which is the visual aspect of celebrations. For years, she's explored the way in which different cultures commemorate events in their lives, particularly how they express it with decoration and objects. Now, with a new body of work, Boone-McCreesh goes beyond this initial inspiration and uses things she's previously created as raw material for new pieces. They debuted at a recent two-person exhibition with artist Sarah Knobel entitled Anything Sacred at Hamiltonian Gallery in Washington, DC.
The delightfully dizzying pieces are full of texture, color, and have the same sensibilities that we've seen in her previous works. Boone-McCreesh explains the idea behind her rich and vibrant aesthetic:
Anything Sacred is a birth of new from the old. Through digital manipulation, collage, printing, and reworking, I allow visual elements from an extant body of work to become new imagery printed on vinyl, paper, and custom fabric. The complex layering, stripping, and blending of the digital with the handmade gives birth to a new visual language.
In sampling my own imagery and re-contextualizing it in an immersive visual experience that is both cyclical and unifying, I am challenging traditional notions about value and pushing for a more complex, dynamic personal aesthetic. Simultaneously, my work in Anything Sacred continues to examine the use and meaning of decoration through formal arrangement and design.
You can view Anything Sacred now at Hamiltonian Gallery in Washington, DC until June 21 of this year. More shots of the candy-colored walls and lively work after the jump.

Ray Rush began his real estate career in 1988. Originally from Ohio, Ray and his wife, Pat, discovered Santa Fe in 1981, knowing this place was special and the kind of place they could work in, where they could raise a family and develop a close network of friends and colleagues. Their son, Christopher, was born in 1984. Now a longtime resident, Ray has established a much deserved reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and experienced brokers in Santa Fe, having served as the past president of the Santa Fe Realtors Association and being named Realtor of the Year.
The unique blend of Santa Fe's small-town yet sophisticated big city feel attracted Ray and Pat, just as it has countless others who desire to live in the southwest but don't want to completely leave their urban attractions behind. Avid golfers, Ray and Pat try to fit in a game whenever possible. They love many of the outdoor pursuits that Santa Fe's mild four-season climate offers including tennis, skiing and entertaining with friends and family.
Ray and Tim Van Camp had known each other for years as colleagues in the Santa Fe real estate scene. But when they teamed up in 2000, they discovered a synergy that worked and found that their individual strengths complemented one another. Ray is the high-energy kind of broker who will do whatever it takes to satisfy his client's desires. Tim is data-driven and keeps their highly valuable and coveted contacts up-to-date for the benefit of their practice. Finding buyers and sellers, and matching them methodically, is his motto.

Limbaugh Revives Bogus Attack That Obama Supports "Infanticide"
Blog ››› ››› LESLIE ROSENBERG
Right-wing media are turning to an old discredited smear to attack President Obama, reviving the bogus claim that while serving in the Illinois State Senate, Obama "voted for infanticide," as Rush Limbaugh put it. Limbaugh went on to claim on his radio show today that "Barack Obama voted to allow babies who survived an abortion to go ahead and be killed":
Limbaugh has made this same claim before, but it's as false today as it was then: Obama doesn't support infanticide.
In a "Fact Check," the National Journal explained:
According to Politifact, an independent fact-checking organization that looked into similar claims made by former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum on the campaign trail, Obama voiced his opposition to the new legislation as a state senator because it would have given legal status to fetuses and would thus have been struck down by the courts, and because Illinois already had laws to ensure infants who survived abortions would be given medical attention.
Limbaugh was reacting to comments Newt Gingrich made during the Republican primary debate in Arizona, in which Gingrich said, "You did not once during the 2008 campaign ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide."

Important Information From USA Table Tennis
Dear USATT Members,
As has been mentioned in previous communications, USATT is committed to fully embrace the SafeSport Plan as mandated by the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC). We are doing this to be in compliance with the USOC mandates in this matter and because it is simply the right thing to do to protect all of our members and to nurture a healthy and safe environment for our sport.
Attached you will find a copy of the USATT SafeSport Plan. This is a 'living' document that is subject to updating and adjustments as the plan unfolds and expands.
In the first phase of the USATT SafeSport Plan we are requiring that all members of our Certified Coaching Pool, Board Members, Staff Members and Committee Chairs go on-line (link provided in the SafeSport Plan) and complete the background check process through the firm that we have engaged to provide this service. We ask that this be completed by March 31, 2014 in order to continue to be recognized within the USATT organization. We are also asking these same folks to complete the free USOC on-line tutorial on SafeSport (link provided in the SafeSport Plan). This is deemed as an excellent educational piece to present all aspects of the SafeSport Plan.
The second phase of the USATT SafeSport Plan is targeted to be launched on or about April 1, 2014. It will expand out to include our Affiliated Club Owners and Operators, Referees, Umpires, Tournament Directors and Organizers, USATT Committee Members and Advisory Committee Members and anyone else who has access to minors within USATT sanctioned competition or club activity. We will require the same compliance with background checks and the free on-line USOC tutorial. This second group will be expected to be in compliance by July 1, 2014.
We will also ask each affiliated club to designate a SafeSport Officer to be the liaison to the overall program and be the champion of this effort within their respective clubs. We envision providing posters that can be displayed within a club designating them as a SafeSport Club as a way of raising the awareness of the effort to provide safe environments for all participants.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and more information will follow as we develop outreach notification to the mentioned sub-groups identified above. USATT looks forward to working with you to grow Table Tennis through this program for the near and long term!

Geospatial World Forum 2012
There are many, many international geospatial conferences. There are those dedicated to scientific topics, some related to specific topics, such as the GSDI Association conferences and spatial data infrastructures, and then there are many vendor-specific conferences and exhibitions. However, there are very few geospatial events dedicated to bringing together all the industry leaders from the public sector, the private sector, academia and research.

There has never been a better time to go solar in Ewing, NJ than right now and Exact Solar is the NJ solar installer to call. Across NJ, the economics are especially favorable for solar energy systems that create electricity, also called solar PV (photovoltaic) systems, because the price of panels has plummeted over the past 3 years and the price of SRECs in NJ is still relatively high. Additionally, the 30% federal tax credit is still available on the retail price of the system.
At current electricity rates, in Ewing, NJ it generally takes about 4 – 5 years for a solar electric (PV) system to pay for itself — that's a 20%+ return on your investment!. After that, your own solar "power plant" creates electricity for you using a free and abundant energy source, forever offsetting your energy expenses, and producing electricity that never goes up in price…no mining, drilling, transporting, or re-fueling required.
Residential solar energy systems typically cost $3.00 to $4.00 per watt (installed, before the federal tax credit). So, a 5 kW system costs around $15,000 to $20,000, depending on the complexity of the installation. Subtract from that 30% and your out-of-pocket expense is $10,000 to $14,000.
At today's prices, your own residential solar energy system, will provide you with electricity at a rate of about 1 – 2 cents/kWh over the next 25 years. (In Ewing, NJ, most people are paying the utility company about 18 cents/kWh today…and that will continue to go up over time.).
Increase the value of your home
A solar energy system (PV or thermal) increases the value of your Ewing, NJ home. The systems last for 30+ years with minimal maintenance required. Read an article on how a solar energy system increases the value of your home in our news section.
Earn income year after year
SREC values in NJ, although lower than in the past, are still quite a bit higher than in most states in the country. Each SREC earned by your solar energy system in Ewing, NJ can be sold to a utility company. The utility companies are required to purchase a certain percentage of their energy each year from renewable sources and your SRECs help them meet that goal. Currently, SRECs can provide you with regular, ongoing income increasing the ROI of your home solar panel system.
Find out more about home and commercial solar energy systems that create electricity (PV systems), solar water heaters, and solar pool heating in New Jersey, and take advantage of this amazing opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint and your reliance on imported carbon-based gas and oil products. Use our own, Ewing, New Jersey solar energy to power your home or business.

Thanks for the update about the IBM numbers. However, this is counter to what people told me. I usually discount rumors, but the sources were very reliable.

Myself and others have written that one very good thing the Top500 has going for it is that it has a very long history. This allows you to watch HPC development over time. As for an absolute benchmark I agree with rgb on this. It's a beauty contest pure and simple. Besides there are faster parallel codes for solving LU problems anyway. >> the SuperComputer show and the Top500. I can't repeat the quote here, >> but it has something to do with "size." After experiencing the show, the >> observation is ABSOLUTELY right on target. > > > Do you know any effort involving benchmarks that do not ultimately > look and smell like a penis contest ? It's human nature :-) Sure I know of several. Larry McVoy's lmbench that rgb has spoken about is one of the better ones. It's a bit dated, but still useful. I also think the new ClusterWorld Benchmarking project, while still in the forming stages, will be a good benchmark. However, it's not really a benchmarking project in the sense of "my machine is faster than yours." It has a much better idea of what benchmarking should be used for. The way to help out the benchmarking "thing" is to explain to people how benchmarks should be used and how to always look at benchmark results with a skeptical eye. >> Also, the CPUs in BlueGene/L are specialized.

We are now working with them to test the Power5 stuff. > Has Cray deployed Red Storm machines except the one at Sandia ? At > this time, BluGene and Red Storm are both a product, or both not one. Have any BlueGene's been announced or sold anywhere else? You can definitely find orders for the Cray XT3. I don't know of any deliveries yet, but I haven't looked too closely. My point is that BlueGene at this point appears to be a one-off kind of thing whereas Red Storm begot a real product with orders and everything.

Retinitis Pigmentosa Symptoms and Signs
Since retinitis pigmentosa begins as rod degeneration, the patient first notices increasing difficulty in night vision, followed by difficulty seeing in the periphery. Slowly progressive constriction of the visual field leads to tunnel vision. A small area of central vision in both eyes usually persists for years. Generally night precedes tunnel vision by years or even decades. Total blindness eventually ensues in most cases. The age of appearance of legal blindness ranges from as early as childhood to as late as the 40s.

After surveying 35,000 people around the world and analysing the results, researchers came to a conclusion: Gadgets make us happy. Don't laugh just yet though, because they've got reasonable explanations for this theory.
Researcher Paul Flatters of Trajectory Partnership explains:
Whether young or old, we're all social beings, we all have a need for the things IT access facilitates.
He continued to add that:
Ownership of technology is a status symbol in many cultures...having a computer is considered synonymous with a good education worldwide.
So it's not a matter of gadgets themselves actually making us happy, but rather the things they represent: The loved ones we maintain contact with and our life situations. [BBC]

Typeface designers live with the permanent possibility of encountering their work at unexpected moments. Your old college now uses a font that you designed; in a movie, whose story takes place before you were born, your typefaces are used for prop newspapers and storefronts; the intimidating signs that scold you in public places now address you in your own handwriting. These odd social dislocations have lately been compounded by an additional weirdness, the phenomenon of the literate non-specialist. There are now celebrities and politicians who know fonts by name, so off-duty type designers run an increasing risk of hearing their typefaces mentioned by talk-show hosts or newscasters — to say nothing of seatmates on long airline flights, or anyone desperate for conversation at a family funeral.
None of these strangenesses prepared me for learning this morning that in The Scarpetta Factor, a crime novel by Patricia Cornwell, there is a plot point that revolves around our Gotham typeface. The font first makes an appearance on page 400, when it's name-checked by an FBI document specialist during the delivery of an expert opinion, but it returns on page 415 for a two-page discussion about the typography of a suspicious package. "Gotham is popular," says the computer-whiz niece of our sleuth, Dr. Kay Scarpetta. "It's supposed to suggest all the right things if you want to influence someone into taking you or your product or a political candidate or maybe some type of research seriously." Our clients have always known as much; we can only assume that one of them is the murderer. —JH

Religious Freedom
Learn about religious freedom and what you can do to protect it.
Some of this content is specific to the United States, but the principles can be adapted in other countries.
Watch the videos referred to by Elder Christofferson, read how religious freedom is defined, see why religious freedom matters, and learn what you can do to protect it.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."First Amendment, The Bill of Rights
What does religious freedom really mean?
Religious freedom is more than just the freedom to believe what you want. It's also the freedom to talk about and act on your core beliefs without interference from government or others, except when necessary to protect health and safety. It also allows people with similar beliefs to form religious organizations that govern their own affairs. All of these freedoms are established in the United States through the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." (Read more about the freedoms established in the First Amendment.)
Why does it matter so much?
Agency is essential in Heavenly Father's plan of salvation, and religious freedom ensures we can use our agency to live and share what we believe. Everyone needs to have that freedom, no matter what they believe.
Yet despite its importance, religious freedom is increasingly under assault around the world. That's why the Apostles have spoken about this topic dozens of times in the last decade. As prophets, seers, and revelators, they recognize the need to defend religious freedom. Each of us has a role to play.
What can I do about it?
You don't need a legal background to make a difference. In everyday life, you can:
- Become informed about the basics of religious freedom and understand your rights. Study the materials on this site and stay aware of what's happening in the news regarding religious freedom. You can follow this Facebook page to stay more up-to-date.
- Live and respectfully share your beliefs. Have meaningful, kind conversations with those of differing beliefs. Focus on seeking to understand one another's perspective and finding common ground that unites you. While such discussions might create some tension, which occurs naturally in any democracy, if you proceed with faith and compassion rather than fear you'll often discover fair compromises that result in a stronger society.
- Find simple ways to help protect the rights of everyone to act on their beliefs. You can attend city council meetings, vote, and contact your government representatives to express your views. Get involved in the democratic institutions and conversations around you.
- Build trusted relationships in your community among people of diverse opinions. For example, serve in your neighborhood, get involved with your business or professional association, run for a school board, or coach a sports team. As you get to know more people and understand each other's beliefs, you'll be better able to find ways to protect one another's rights in a way that benefits everyone.
Learn more about each of these areas on this section of LDS.org; while specific to the United States, many of the principles can be applied in other settings. As you study the content, prayerfully seek the Spirit to know what Heavenly Father would have you do to understand and protect religious freedom.

(1993; 28 pages)
Regarding the supply of drugs, the endeavor towards strengthening local production capacity was minimal and Drug importation from abroad and it's distribution within was haphazard and unjust that the majority of the rural community hardly had access to modern drugs. Furthermore, the failure to have a strong system of drugs administration and control has resulted in massive wastage during storage and distribution. Apart from the low administrative and technical capacities to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of all drugs, the control on narcotics, psychotropic drugs and poisons was particularly weak.
Though it is incumbent that drug services should take into account the, social conditions, psychological make up and financial capacity of the society, the indiscriminate practice that prevailed in drug prescription, dispensing, data collection, dissemination of information and promotion, gave way to the rampant existence of a situation in which patients prescribed and self administered thereby jeopardizing their safety.
Since medical equipments in health institutions are mostly old and obsolete problems of maintenance, handling and use exist aggravated by a low standard of technical, managerial and operational capacity.
Accordingly, the issuance of a drug policy, which is part and parcel of the health policy and in line with the transition period charter and the economic policy of Ethiopia, should be given high priority in order to direct the various features of the sector...

Brendon got the speaking role and I thought he did great. No nerves for either one of them. I thought it was hilarious that the blond asked Brendon about his BIG BROTHER as part of the story line. Rachel got to do her trademark laugh.

I am running on Ubuntu 10.4
Have downloaded the file vec2web-22.214.171.124-1.src.tar.gz
and extracted it using...
gzip -dc vec2web-22.214.171.124-1.src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
so I now have a folder vec2web-184.108.40.206-1.src
I have run ~/vec2web-220.127.116.11-1.src/build_vec2web.sh
it is complaining 'QTDIR not set. Aborting..'
Now the instructions on your download page say...
Includes script to build vec2web from scratch. Requirements: the Qt developer edition, version 3.3.x.
but there is no instruction on where I can get 'QT developer edition, version 3.3.x' which I presume will create the QTDIR environment variable when it is installed.
I have tried 'sudo apt-get install qt3-apps-dev' in the hope this was the correct package but it seems not as I still do not have a $QTDIR environment variable
can you please tell me what to download e.g sudo apt-get install qt#####
Guidance needed in installing vec2web
If you are having problems with vec2web, post here. Please report bugs here.

Basic rustic timber frame for photo size 10 x 15 cm
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
Delivery time (in working days): 3
- Product code: F16168LD
Dimensions: *
Frame size: 18 x 23 cm
Picture size: 10 x 15 cm
Clear dimension: 8 x 13 cm
Our distressed wood picture frames are made entirely out of reclaimed rustic timber and distressed wood collected in and around Cape Town.
The timber used for this picture frame is then left to dry for up to 2 years on our farm north of Cape Town. Thereafter we remove all old nails and screws from the strips of timber. Once cleaned, the wood is sent back to Cape Town where colours and types of wood are chosen to put together these picture frames 10x15.
This rustic wooden picture frame is fitted with 3mm glass, making the frame a little heavier, but giving it considerably more stability during transport, and thereby reduces the risk of breakage.
All our reclaimed wooden photo frames are supplied with one of a large range of black and white images.
The term basic refers to the single strip of wood used in this picture frames as opposed to the double strips in the standard range of Luna Design photo frames.
* Luna Designs distressed wood picture frames are hand crafted. It can therefore occur that the indicated measurements could vary from picture frame to picture frame by a few millimetres.

Career Guides >> Browse Articles >> Government Job Search
U.S. Postal Service
Letter Carriers are among the most visible part of the Postal Service's 700,000 career workforce.
Appointment of Postal Employees
The United States Postal Service® is an independent establishment of the Executive Branch of the United States Government. It operates in a businesslike way.
In the more than two centuries since USPS® began, it has grown and changed with America. Discovering the history of the Postal Service is a journey into the history of transportation, economics, industrialization, communications, and government.
Today, the Postal Service™ delivers hundreds of millions of messages each day to more than 141 million homes and businesses.
In accordance to section 1006 of title 39, United States Code, Postal Service employees serve under excepted appointments. They do not acquire competitive status or reinstatement eligibility for competitive service jobs. However, by law, they have special noncompetitive appointment eligibility for competitive service jobs.
An agency may give a noncompetitive appointment to an employee of the Postal Career Service who meets all the following conditions:
- The employee's Postal Service appointment has no time limit; and
- Immediately before appointment in the competitive service, the employee served in the Postal Career Service for at least 3 months on a substantially full-time basis or for at least 520 hours if employed less than full time; and
- The employee meets the qualification standard for the position; and
- The employee will be appointed to the competitive service with no break in service from Postal Service employment. An individual who has a break in service of 1 day or more or who takes a temporary appointment in an agency loses appointment eligibility under this authority.
Prior to July 1, 1971, Post Office positions were in the competitive service. Employees of the Post Office prior to that date may have served under competitive appointment and may have reinstatement eligibility. Some employees may meet the criteria for both noncompetitive appointment and reinstatement. The hiring agency decides which appointment authority to use.
A person appointed under this authority receives a career-conditional appointment unless he/she has completed the service requirement for career tenure. Substantially continuous service, under a nontemporary appointment in the Postal Career Service immediately preceding appointment is creditable toward acquiring career tenure.
A person appointed under this authority must serve a new probationary period. However, service in the Postal Service immediately preceding appointment is creditable toward the completion of the probationary period.
Employees of the Postal Rate Commission also have noncompetitive appointment eligibility for competitive service jobs (section 1006, title 39, United States Code). They must have served in the Postal Rate Commission Career Service for at least 1 year on a substantially continuous basis under an appointment leading to completion of the probationary period in the Postal Rate Commission. Otherwise, the appointment eligibility is the same as for Postal Service employees.
A person appointed under this authority is not required to serve a probationary period in the competitive service.
Ever since Benjamin Franklin was named the first Postmaster General in 1775, the US postal system has been keeping America connected.
At USPS, we value our employees, because we know it's our people who provide customer satisfaction, drive innovation, and ensure our continued success.
If you're ready to join a dynamic, thriving organization with a sense of history and a drive toward the future, we're ready to hear from you! Visit us at www.usps.gov.

I'm not yet convinced that Sara's going to die but her running off to Nyssa could have been handled a lot better. The idea that Oliver's somehow this super great guy, and Sara's not worthy of his affection is ridiculous. Ollie's a complete jackass, a hypocrite, and the only reason he's not he least likeable character on the show is because Laurel's an obnoxious harridan. Even she's getting better over the last few episodes.

Connor Hawke is one of my favourite characters, so I really hope this kid isn't supposed to be him.
drkrash wrote:Sadly, I think it's going to be pretty hard to redeem Roy to the side of the angels this season.
Nah, they'll use Killer Frost and Vibe's mirakuru cure and all his irrational behaviour will be forgiven. If the show can imply that Huntress could be redeemed after everything she's done, Roy's 'roid rage won't be an issue.

Since it's springtime, it may be a good time to freshen up your scrapbook space! Here are some ideas to motivate:
Dottie Angel recently showed more photos of her craft/sewing room area. One photo is shown below and more can be seen here. Notice how she uses vintage kitchenware to store supplies! Such a great way to display a collection as well as have extra storage at the same time.
Rubyellen, from Cakies, has some photos of her crafty space shown here. One photo is shown below. Notice the old springs that she makes use of for hanging things! Such a creative way to hang up supplies or you could even put a layout in a plastic sleeve and hang it up this way too.
Christy Hoover recently remodeled her scrapbook room. It doubles as an office and guest room. See all the photos here and one is shown below as well. Put up a pretty curtain, like Christy, to hide messy areas, closets or other areas you would like to separate from the main space.
A Bushel and a Peck uses lots of interesting found items to store supplies in her art / scrapbook studio. Her room was once set up in her basement and she recently moved it upstairs into a light-filled dining room. See one of her photos below and more here.

For the past seven weeks middle school students who participated in the Rockland After School Alliance (RASA) program Cooking Matters have been cooking up a storm. Each week, the participants worked with Chef Nancy Wood to create delicious healthy m
eals and learn food preparation, safety and cooking vocabulary. After each class participants went home with the ingredients for the day's recipes to prepare at home with their families.
Students also worked with FoodCorps volunteer and nutritionist Genna Cherichello to make sense of the nutritional value of the dishes that they were preparing as well as become better acquainted with how to read food labels and make healthy food choices. Cherichello helped the students put their math skills to the test with the "Blubber Burger" project. During the exercise students selected a fast food restaurant meal and added up the total grams of fat. Students converted grams into teaspoons and measured the total amount in shortening, which they then spread on a hamburger bun. Thankfully the sandwiches were not eaten but they did provide a powerful visual reference for the students who might think twice about ordering their favorite fast food meal. The students went home with the recipe and ingredients for baked sweet potato fries.
A highlight of the Cooking Matters program was the students' field trip to the Rockland Hannaford for a grocery store tour. At Hannaford the students learned the difference between buying by the pound verses buying by the package, and why cereal and other preserved packaged food is kept in the center aisles and fresh produce and meat are kept along the perimeter of the store. Each student went home that day with their favorite piece of fruit plus donated reusable grocery bags from Hannaford.
The Cooking Matters program is sponsored on a national level by ConAgra Foods and Walmart. The Good Shepherd Food Bank and Hannaford sponsor the program in Maine and have helped bring the program to RASA. Nancy Wood and Genna Cherichello volunteered their time each week to plan and teach the program alongside Youthlinks Program Manager, Josie Gates.
RASA is a program of Youthlinks offered in collaboration with RSU 13 supported by a 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant from the Maine Department of Education. Youthlinks is a program of Broadreach Family & Community Services, a non-profit organization that has been serving the children and families of Waldo and Knox Counties since 1983.

AAA Says Policymakers Failing to Connect with Motorists' Practical Concerns
Hamilton, NJ – Sixty-two percent of U.S. motorists believe the federal government should invest more money to improve roadways, according to a recent public opinion poll conducted by AAA. The vast majority of drivers (81 percent) also believe the federal government should do more to improve the condition of roads and bridges.
"Most Americans recognize the need for increased transportation funding because they drive over potholes and bumpy roads every day," said Tracy Noble, spokesperson for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "Unfortunately, the main concerns voiced by motorists about transportation and driving differ markedly from the points generally expressed by policymakers to promote funding legislation."
When asked for their concerns regarding transportation and driving their cars, issues identified by drivers included the reliability and safety of their car (34 percent) and the direct financial cost of driving (19 percent). Other major concerns included the behavior of other drivers (15 percent), safety/road accidents (15 percent) and the gas mileage/fuel efficiency of their vehicle (15 percent). According to AAA's recently released 'Your Driving Costs' report, the average cost to own and operate a car this year rose 1.96 percent to 60.8 cents per mile, or $9,122 per year, based upon 15,000 miles of annual driving.
"Policymakers and transportation advocates are failing to connect with the public on the practical concerns that matter most to motorists," continued Noble. "Motorists want to hear about how their elected officials can improve their daily commute by repairing the pothole down the street or the bumpy road around the corner."
Nearly seven out of ten (68 percent) motorists believe the federal government should make "reducing congestion on the roads" a top transportation priority. Traffic jams and crowded roads waste billions of dollars a year in time and fuel, and causes significant frustration for many drivers. Federal transportation funding can support increased capacity and expanded roadways.
Motorists who feel that the federal government should increase taxes or fees to improve roadways support a number of options for increasing transportation funding, including:
- Replacing the per-gallon gas tax with a national gasoline sales tax (55 percent)
- Creating a new national sales tax dedicated to transportation (47 percent)
- Expanding the use of tolls to Interstate highways where tolls are not currently collected (47 percent)
- Creating a carbon tax on fossil fuels (45 percent)
- Replacing the federal gas tax with a per-miles-driven fee (37 percent)
- Creating an energy tax on all sources of energy (35 percent)
- Increasing the federal per-gallon gas tax (27 percent)
"The public seems very willing to examine innovative transportation methods to improve road quality," continued Noble. "AAA is dedicated to examining all funding options and educating policymakers on the need to fully fund improvements for America's roads and bridges."
Motorists overwhelmingly (83 percent) remain concerned about wasteful government spending on transportation. AAA has worked with Congress to implement reforms, such as eliminating earmarks, streamlining bureaucratic oversight and accelerating project development as part of Map 21, the recently passed federal transportation authorization law. AAA will continue to push for improved reforms to reduce wasteful spending as Congress debates transportation funding.
This report presents the findings of an omnibus telephone survey (654 landline and 354 cell phone) consisting of 1,008 adults (503 men and 508 women) living in the continental United States. A screener question identified 817 current motorists who were asked the remainder of the question list. The study has a margin of error of ±4.0 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
As North America's largest motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides more than 53 million members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1902, the not-for-profit, fully tax-paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers.

After 49 years I should have had life pretty much worked out and been prepared for anything that it could throw at me. Instead it seems I'm less prepared now than when I was a naive teenager. I've spent almost every waking moment of the last 3 years planning and dreaming about spending the next 5 years travelling around the exotic places of the world and leaving behind the temptations and pitfalls of London life. I'd left behind a great job, said a sad goodbye to family and friends and put my thoughts and savings into camping and cycling gear which would protect me against every possible danger and unexpected circumstance. There wasn't an instance I hadn't considered, an action I hadn't thought through. I'd bored everybody senseless with what I was doing and where I was going, and offered a sly smile when colleagues offered best wishes tinged with jealousy. I had it all worked out. The next five years was already written. It would make a great blog, a book maybe, but definitely an adventure of some shape or other.
Then along came a little hurricane that knocked me off my feet. After that came a monsoon which put me upright again. The mountains and valleys weren't breath-taking, just cold and wet. The hardship wasn't romantic, just tiring. The open road wasn't liberating, just restrictive. I'm sadly forced to admit that when the going got tough, I got going - home. Suddenly I didn't want it any longer, not enough anyway. I'd voluntarily turned my life upside down to go travelling and then turned it inside out a month later. But the end-result presents a nicer picture which I couldn't have imagined.
I've upset too many people by leaving and probably disappointed the remainder by returning but it is what it is. My long-planned adventure is over, but there are other adventures. I've come home and started down another sunnier road, and I'm happy to go wherever it turns. Thank you to everybody who offered their support and comments via this rather truncated travel journal. Now I need to get a job.

University of Kansas
Tharpe's departure leaves Kansas basketball seeking point guard
Naadir Tharpe moved along Massachusetts Street on a cool night in early April, passing past a crowd of college students.
It was a Saturday night in a college town, and the streets overflowed with the usual signs of college: Kids blowing off steam after a week of classes.
Among the throng of people, Tharpe, KU's point guard, tried to keep a low profile. This, he said, was his first time out in public since Kansas' shocking NCAA Tournament loss to Stanford on March 23. Two weeks later, it had already been a rocky offseason.
A revealing photo showing Tharpe with an unidentified woman had surfaced online, going viral and drawing a public admonishment from his head coach. (The date of the photo is still unknown.) Back home in Massachusetts, Tharpe would later admit, his 2-year-old daughter, Amara Grace, was battling some undisclosed medical issues.
Tharpe was the starting point guard at Kansas, and when the Jayhawks' season had floundered, plenty of fingers had been pointed in his direction.
"It comes with a lot of scrutiny," said forward Jamari Traylor, Tharpe's roommate and friend, during Kansas' NCAA Tournament run.
Nearly a month later, Tharpe was ready for a fresh start, announcing his decision to transfer in a joint statement with Kansas coach Bill Self on Thursday afternoon. In the statement, Tharpe cited his daughter's health issues as one of the main reasons for the move. He would like to play some place closer to his hometown of Worcester, Mass.
But whatever other factors aided in the decision, it's a clean break for player and program — a Kansas team that is still searching for an answer at point guard after two years of inconsistency at the position.
"Naadir and I have talked numerous times since he's been here about his role and about his situation back home with his daughter," Self said in the statement. "He's told me many times how much he misses his little girl, and she's had some health issues that has certainly made it difficult for him to be away from her for this extended period of time."
Self and Tharpe emphasized that Amara is doing better now, but the change of scenery could end up being the healthiest decision for all involved.
"My daughter has current medical issues that require weekly visits to her physician, as well as with a specialist," Tharpe said. "At this juncture, I feel it is best to be closer to home where I can assist and support in any way necessary."
Tharpe, who played three seasons at Kansas, will have one year of eligibility remaining. Unless he can secure an NCAA hardship waiver, he will need to sit out one season before being eligible in 2015-16.
"I enjoyed my time here," Tharpe said. "I appreciate the players that were here before me that I got a chance to play with, and that are still friends with me right now. It's going to be tough leaving."
The question now, of course, goes to the Jayhawks' point guard position. Kansas will likely be a top-five team in the preseason polls, but Self will need someone to steer the ship.
Sometimes last season, that was Tharpe. Sometimes it wasn't.
Tharpe averaged 8.5 points and 5.0 assists during an up-and-down junior season. He was selected national player of the week during the Jayhawks' 7-0 start in the Big 12, and he played a crucial role in a 10th straight Big 12 title. But too often, Tharpe was a non-factor; he shot 25 percent during Kansas' last six games and often struggled on the defensive end.
Still, Tharpe was the most experienced guard on the roster — by far — and would have been the only scholarship senior on next year's team. For now, Self can turn to soon-to-be sophomores Frank Mason and Conner Frankamp, and the KU staff continues to recruit point guard Devonte Graham of Brewster Academy, the same school that produced Tharpe.
Mason averaged 5.5 points and 2.1 assists while playing 16 minutes per game in his freshman season, but he shot just 41.7 percent from the field. Frankamp came on strong in March, but could profile as more of a combo guard. That means that Graham, the No. 36 overall recruit in the country, could be positioned to command major minutes if he picks Kansas over his other finalist — North Carolina State.
For the past two seasons, the point guard position has vexed Self and been partially responsible for some early losses in March. For parts of those years, Tharpe looked like an answer — or at least part of it. During his sophomore season, he hit a game-winner at Oklahoma State that paved the way for KU's ninth straight title. This year, he cut down Iowa State with 23 points in a victory at Hilton Coliseum.
"Naadir has been a good player for us in his three years here," Self said. "But we also respect the fact that he wants to be closer to his daughter."
For now, the search for a point guard continues. Tharpe is moving on, ready for a new beginning.
"It's going to be tough leaving a situation like this because of the teammates I'm leaving behind," Tharpe said. "Everything happens for a reason and I have to continue my journey a different way."
