I really hope you are enjoying a lovely Valentine's Day! If you aren't, I'm sorry! And that person you think you should be spending this evening with is a complete jerk - and you deserve so much better! That beats jewelry EVERY time!
I am having a fine day. My husband is doing his thing down in Dallas, so I am off the hook as far as looking presentable (Love you honey! Mean it!). Last year, I had to tag team doing all three kid's parties at school, which made me insane. This year I only had to worry about one. So it's been a laid-back day.
I have done some reflecting lately. The other day I turned 39 (thanks for all of the nice birthday shout-outs!) so I have thought about how happy I am to still be alive. Yay! And today I watched people driving around with bunches of balloons or flowers in their cars which just reminded me of Valentine's past.
I usually ended up being pissy about Valentine's because it is so close to my birthday. Almost every guy I have ever dated at this time of year combined the two. Even a couple of long-term ones. What a bunch of cheapasses! One of the reasons I married my husband was because he got me a birthday present and took me out for my birthday, and then send me a ginormous basket of flowers for our first Valentine's Day. Huge points!
It's funny how things change. Years ago, it was such a big deal to me to have the guy I was dating go all out, but now my priorities are so different. I get the best valentines ever from my kids.

Yoga schmoga
I went to my first yoga class yesterday. It was interesting. I went with my friend Patty. Which made it fun for me. I do much better in a new situation if I have someone I can shoot looks at, like "did you see what that girl just did?!?! Holy shit!" She shot back several "OH MY GOD"s.
It's a good system.
I can see how this yoga thing can be good for me. I think I used every muscle on my body. Many of them haven't been used in years. So, needless to say, they are PISSED. I am sore all over. My ears even hurt.
But I will go back. I have done the worst class - the first. So, it should get easier.
Please tell me it will get better!
BTW - on a side note I discovered that getting a pedicure right before you go to yoga is a bad idea. There was some mat slippage, which I think was probably good for my legs.
I am sooo glad I got one, though! I had me some pretty grusome feet! You know it's bad when the woman giving you said pedicure is grossed out. She admonished me for waiting so long. I felt like I was about to be grounded.
I am so sorry! I will resume getting regular pedicures. I don't want to be one of the ones the pedicure women roll their eyes at when I walk in.

Starbucks is a cult
I love Starbucks. It is a sad thing to admit that I am one of the masses. I like to think of myself as someone who forges her own trail. But I can't seem to with coffee. I pass a Starbucks and I feel an internal pull. My leg twitches. I must turn in and satisfy my urge at least a couple of times a week.
My husband has been sucked in, too. He gets his fix at his office. Starbucks has a kiosk in the building's cafeteria. He gets to waltz in and get his coffee all day, every day. That's just not right. If Starbucks was kind at all, they would swing a cart by my house every morning.
Now Starbucks is branching out. They have sucked in my kids. It was a brilliant plan. Little by little. Little taste by little taste. My kids have all had a drink and now they thirst for it. They crave it. They beg and plead and whine for it.
I thought I was only succumbing to my own fervent need for tasty, high calorie caffeine. It all started at Target. Target built a super version of itself a few years ago in Edmond, OK. And what was inside? A handy little Starbucks counter. I had not seen a Super-Target since I had lived in Dallas. I was all giddy and having hot flashes. I rushed over with my young children and oohed and ahed my way through my grocery shopping while enjoying the most pathetic drink ever created - the Frappuccino.
I did not realize at the time how Starbucks did it. The insidious way they get one person hooked and then let that person hook in everyone else in the family. The way they make sure that one sip is all it takes.
I didn't think I was creating a monster when I let my daughter take her first Frappuccino sip. But I have. Now she wants one all of the time. If she sees an empty Starbucks cup in the trash she immediately asks why she didn't get one. If I promise her a treat she wants it to be a Starbucks. If I am foolish and leave my Mocha Grande or Frappuccino sitting unattended, she will suck that bad boy down as if it was the last thing she is ever gonna drink.
Our sons aren't much better, but they stick with the hot chocolate and the bottled weak version of the Frappuccino.
Is there some sort of treatment for this? Some sort of intervention? Or are we doomed to watch our daughter become a caffeine junkie like we are?
You are witnessing a family out of control.

GAMING NEWSSony: PS Vita Needs Fewer PortsPosted on Wednesday, September 12 @ 16:22:01 PST by Nicholas Tan
Sony's Marketing Vice President John Koller, in an statement to Gamasutra, believes that one reason the PlayStation Vita isn't selling as many units as they want is due to the overencumbered amount of ports on the system, just as it was with the lineup on the PSP: Just for a quick refreshed, the Vita launch lineup included ports or at least games that weren't that original like Lumines Electronic Symphony, Rayman Origins, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, FIFA Soccer, Dynasty Warriors Next, Mortal Kombat, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus. The trouble, however, is that some of those ports were strong and successful titles, so Sony might be sending a mixed message here. I'm not sure how different Assassin's Creed III: Liberation and Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified are going to be from their console counterparts. And also, isn't Sony promoting the Vit'as cross-play feature as well as the Cross-Buy Program where consumers can get the Vita version of a PS3 game for free? By that logic, don't they need direct ports for that to work? Doesn't Konami need to make a port so that Kojima can "transfar"? I have a slight headache. [Source]

NEW! Dart and Dash Short
Yay! Bike length run shorts!!! These are the new Dart and Dash shorts. I was hoping they would make a return for the summer. If they come in a twelve I am getting at least one pair, maybe two. I like that lulu added a holster pocket. They look about the same length as last year's Take Flight Bike Shorts. My Take Flights are my favorite run short. The White Seaside dot pattern is interesting. I wonder if we'll be seeing some luxtreme tops in this print, too.

Ahh I'm super excited about these!! I wear my inspire crops all the time, but desperately want a shorter length pair of luxtreme bike/run crops.

Fun Thorsday!
Thor is stilling roaming the house, checking everything out, making sure all is well.
Loki is still under the bed. This may require the Fancy Fancy, Fancy Feast Appetizers.

Oh, no! You're more than welcome to come here, but "here" is Brooklyn. At the very least, I wish I could send you down some of the great takeout we can get around here that *isn't* fast food.
OTOH, you've got an excuse to pig out for a while!
(Seriously, if I had your address, I'd send something.) - 6:51 PM
- JanetLee said...
Sharon, thanks for the offer! Being a tourist town, we've got some pretty good food around here, but unfortunately, not all is take out. Right now I'd settle for Loki coming out from under the couch!
BLESS YOU HEART !!! and the boys toooooo!!
Pam, South Bend - 9:54 AM
- JanetLee said...
Pam - thanks! The boys are better. Thor is acting like all is well, but being super love-bug which is his way of dealing with stress. Loki is out and about, but being skittish. The guy from the restoration company is coming back this afternoon to check the drying out process and hopefully we'll get rid of the fans and dehumidifier by Monday and have the kitchen put back together either then or Wednesday, depending on my work schedule.
I'm trying to be very grateful that I had cash on hand to pay for this without it disrupting my normal bill paying. I had to dip into my trip to Amsterdam money, but that just means that I am luckier than most. I can make up the money with some extra shifts and be back on track. - 10:26 AM

A study released on Thursday finds that 39 sites in 21 states where coal-fired power plants dump their coal ash are contaminating water with toxic metals such as arsenic and other pollutants, and that the problem is more extensive than previously estimated.
The analysis of state pollution data by the Environmental Integrity Project, the Sierra Club and Earthjustice comes as the Environmental Protection Agency is considering whether to impose federally enforceable regulations for the first time. An alternative option would leave regulation of coal ash disposal up to the states, as it is now.
The EPA will hold the first of seven nationwide hearings about the proposed regulation Monday in Arlington, Va. A public comment period ends Nov. 19.
The electric power industry is lobbying to keep regulation up to individual states. Environmental groups say the states have failed to protect the public and that the EPA should set a national standard and enforce it.
"This is a huge and very real public health issue for Americans," said the director of the study, Jeff Stant of the Environmental Integrity Project. "Coal ash is putting drinking water around these sites at risk."

Times and Chronicle are Forgainst the Bush Library
Two editorials over the weekend -- one in The New York Times, another in the Houston Chronicle -- suggest, in short, that S.M.U. oughta be happy with that George W. Bush Library-Think Tank-Pet Store-Juice Bar proposed for the Hilltop, but only if Dubya stops being so, like, secretive. Yup -- good luck with all that.
Wrote the Chron Saturday: "A university of any pretensions should be slobberingly eager to house a president's archive, be he warlord, prophet of peace or thundering dud. Unfortunately, the mass of executive papers that researchers will mine for years tends to come these days as part of a non-negotiable package that includes what amounts to a shrine to the former leader." That was followed by the Times' op-ed piece from yesterday, in which Dorothy Samuels (former executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union) wrote that S.M.U. should happily accept the library, but only if "two basic conditions are met."
The first: S.M.U.'s trustees (including Laura Bush, heh) must demand Bush "rescind" Executive Order 13233, the order he signed November 1, 2001, that essentially keeps all his papers hidden from people who might want to see them...like, oh, visitors to a certain presidential library on a certain Park Cities campus. "It's a formula for keeping embarrassing facts secret in perpetuity and for thwarting a full and accurate accounting of a president's time in office, which, presumably, was among S.M.U.'s prime goals in seeking to be home to the new presidential edifice, along with enhancing the university's visibility, prestige and available financial resources," Samuels writes. In short: That "treasure trove" of info S.M.U. president Gerald Turner promises? Yeah, not so much.
Also, Samuels has a problem with Bush and his peeps spending so much time now raising so much dough to build the danged thing -- $500 mil from friends in high places and well-heeled special interests. "Corruptive," Samuels calls it. That sounds bad. --Robert Wilonsky

Moving to north wales with 2 children, no welsh
(35 Posts)Hi there, just wondering where to start. we are moving from ireland to the gwyned area and don't know where to start! No welsh whatsoever. Where is a good place to live there? We need good facilities such as tennis and shops within walking distance for our children.
As an Irish person living. In South Wales I can't help, other than to say I love Bangor, but wish you luck!
If you want facilities within walking distance for a child you're realistically looking at living in a decent sized town I'd have thought, and there aren't many. Caernarfon, Rhyl, Llandudno, Porthmadog, Bangor. I've always thought Aberystwyth must be nice as it has students in term time and holiday makers over summer, but I've been told that it's not that nice a place to live. Never been there though.
Given a job anywhere I'd like to live in Criccieth. Not sure if there are tennis courts though.
Look for an area that has a choice of schools that are bi-lingual rather than Welsh medium, as some areas of Gwynedd are very heavily Welsh speaking.
I grew up in Gwynedd, and my sister still lives there with her young family. Welsh is pushed hard in all primary schools, but you will find that they throw resources at helping non-Welsh speaking children to catch up. Most teachers seem to speak Welsh as their first language.
There are advantages - Welsh children tend to be great at modern foreign languages. But it can be strange - and a bit isolating - for non-Welsh speaking parents.
Thanks for all your replies
KandyBarr, would you know if the Conwy area would be better for a non welsh speaking family so they don't feel as isolated? I've been searching online to figure out which schools conduct lessons through english - can't figure it out. how do I know?
Hi Evbev - we used to live in Llandudno, Conwy and there are probably more English medium schools than there are Welsh medium!! If you need the names of any just let me know.
yes please citygirl5151 that would be great!
My family is from the little village next to Penryhn Castle - it's a beautiful part of the world!
Hi there - Ysgol Tudno, Sant Sior and Craig y Don are the English medium primary schools (there are a couple more too) and Ysgol John Bright is the secondary English medium school. Hope this helps )
Yes, agree with citygirl - Conwy and Llandudno schools are more likely to have a mix of English and Welsh first-language speakers
Oh and Blessed William Davies is a lovely little English medium primary school. It is RC but you don't have to be Catholic to attend - very small and friendly it is )
I'm in Denbighshire, with recent Irish neighbours, its a real mix here some Welsh medium, some bilingual (its what my children do) someEnglish with a smattering of Welsh.
I'm English first language with a smattering that i've learnt as an adult.
Schools fall into language categories and you can see which category they are on their Estyn report (Welsh ofsted equivalent) see hear Estyn
I have afour bed fully renovated detached house with a stream/ river and waterfall inthe garden for salefor £290,000 to giveyoua feeling for prices round here.
According to the council all primary schools in Gwynedd are bilingual with the majority of the teaching in Welsh. There are no English only or Welsh only primary schools. In at least some schools the only subject taught in English is English! Welsh is the official language for end of key stage assessments. Your children will spend their first term after moving to Wales at a language centre, receiving an intensive course in Welsh before returning to their own school.
Personally I don't think that the problem is for the children; children pick up languages easily. I think it's the parents who struggle.
Hi op, I'm in Bangor which is a good place to live. Conwy and llandudno are nice too, don't move to rhyl though, it's a bit grim. On the other side of the strait, Menai bridge is really lovely. I don't have DC so can't help with schools but I havea number of friends who moved here as children and they all say they learned Welsh fast and without trouble in school so don't worry too much. It is a fairly strongly Welsh speaking area in that you'll hear it in shops and in the street, and plenty of people are first language Welsh speaking, but I can't speak Welsh beyond the very basics and in the 9 years I've been here it's never been a problem. Feel free to pm me if you need some local knowledge on Bangor
Oh and remember Bangor is a student town - a massive part of the population is not Welsh, so as non-Welsh parents you would not stand out.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
OK I have nothing to add to the discussion but I have a question. Why don't the English medium schools have English names?
Because they are in Wales, so the places have Welsh names.
Although to be fair it would be easier to distinguish them if they were school rather than ysgol.
I'm near Caernarfon. All schools in Gwynedd are welsh medium, although some have more English speaking kids in than welsh. My ds is in year 1 and has been totally fluent since half way though reception despite English parents. The schools here are excellent. How old are your dc? feel free to pm me and I can give you a lowdown on the Caernarfon / Bangor / south Anglesey areas.
I'm from Anglesey originally, i don't know if you're considering that area, there are some lovely villages on the island but I would (personally) give Llangefni, Holyhead and Amlwch a wide berth! All my schooling was done through welsh (except English!) and there were some children whose parents didn't speak any welsh, some that had moved from other areas, never seemed a big deal we just spoke English with those friends and their families. I haven't lived there for 9 years but from what I remember Menai bridge seemed to have a lot more English (first language) speakers, and there is a secondary school there that had a decent reputation at that time. I went to Llangefni secondary school, was very rough and not a very good school IMO but again, that was a few years ago and it might have changed a lot since then!
I have family in the Llandudno and Conwy area and they seem to speak a lot more English day to day than we did on Anglesey, even though welsh is their first language. I'm sure your children will pick it up quickly but I wouldn't worry too much if you don't, so many people have moved into the area from elsewhere I really don't think it's so much of a big deal these days.
Good luck!
Sorry just realised after posting that thread was in primary education....so info on secondary schools was irrelevant really! There are some fantastic village primary schools on Anglesey but it would maybe take a while to settle in to a welsh medium primary school as literally everything is taught through welsh in the classroom (well it was when I was at school anyway!), slightly different in secondary as classes were divided into welsh first language, welsh second language and welsh learners.
thanks highlandbird, acutally my son is 12 so secondary is relevant too. Are ALL secondary schools divided into welsh first language, welsh second language and welsh learners? Or is it just Anglesey?
I really don't know sorry, that's just my experience from school on Anglesey, everyone did mix outside of class though, and in pe, assembly etc.
Sorry not to be of more help!

Quote from the article at AnandTech.com:
"While little is known outside enthusiast high fidelity circles, some DVD-A media and sampling are already shipping. Mitsubishi's newest line of DVD players uses the processor that supports DVD-A. As you may have guessed, DVD-A is simply higher fidelity audio written to DVD media instead of CD. However, DVD-A has a data rate of almost seven times that of an audio CD. This allows us to encode/playback more channels at higher frequencies and bitrates. DVD-A supports five-channel audio while CD uses only two.
Azalia, Intel's 8-channel digital audio codec, raises the bar significantly over the aging AC'97 codec. Although Azalia (and other derivative codecs) apply more channels and higher stereo frequency, the most conspicuous feature is a data rate four times that of AC'97. Similar 8-channel audio solutions from VIA will also utilize similar bandwidth and bitrate specifications.
With the newer 8-channel audio codecs, we will be able to listen to multiple DVDs with 5.1 channel audio while operating VOIP/telephony/modem devices on the same digital signal processor (DSP), completely unhindered. Using AC'97 based solutions (including the nForce2 Soundstorm MCP), playing two DVD's with stereo audio is not possible."

One in five councils has cut the number of CCTV cameras on the streets since the last election, prompting fears over safety and crime, new figures revealed last night. And in one area all public CCTV cameras have been removed as town halls implement cuts.
The figures were obtained in Freedom of Information requests by the Labour MP Gloria de Piero, who last night warned that this, together with a reduction in street lighting by some councils, would undermine public safety.
Some 209 out of a total 326 local authorities in England responded to the request. Of these, 46 councils have reported a reduction since 2010 or have no CCTV cameras at all. The figures relate to "public-facing" CCTV cameras, not those inside private properties such as banks, shops and pubs.
According to the figures, Tory-run Craven District Council in North Yorkshire has cut all of its CCTV cameras since 2010, from seven cameras to zero. In Trafford (also Tory-run) there was a 53 per cent cut, from 245 cameras in 2010 to 115 in 2013. The third-highest cut was 47.7 per cent in Labour-run Blackpool, from 151 cameras to 79. In Labour-run Bolsover, cameras were reduced from 91 to 51, a 44 per cent reduction and Havant (run by the Conservatives) saw a 34.7 per cent cut from 72 to 47.
Ms de Piero, the shadow Home Affairs minister, said: "Cuts which have gone too far and too fast have led to a situation where one in five local authorities has reduced the number of public CCTV cameras they operate since the last general election. CCTV is a vital tool in the fight against crime and the Government is making it harder for communities and authorities to use and place CCTV. Worryingly this also comes at a time when there are 15,000 fewer police officers and when many local authorities across the country have started to turn off street lighting just to save money."
Victim Support, the national charity for victims of crime in the UK, said the loss of CCTV was "worrying". Javed Khan, the chief executive, said: "We know that CCTV helps to improve security in the local community, both by deterring criminals in the first place and by providing evidence that can bring offenders to justice. In this respect CCTV can be a particularly useful tool for dealing with serious crimes such as rape, assault and street robbery. Significant cuts to CCTV, particularly in high crime areas, is therefore worrying. Public safety must remain our top priority to ensure that the number of victims is minimised, regardless of budget constraints."
But the reduction in CCTV coverage was welcomed by civil liberties campaigners. Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, said: "We welcome the reduction in cameras. The most important thing for us is that crime is falling and the number of CCTV cameras is falling. Yet again the evidence demonstrates there's – at best – a tenuous link and in reality no link between the number of CCTV cameras and crime levels.
"The most important thing is that councils and the police use the most effective methods of keeping the public safe. Countless academic studies – and indeed the Home Office's own research – show little link between public surveillance and crime. I hope these figures will highlight the need to reassess the disproportionately high levels of CCTV use in Britain."

When it comes to making a corporate video you need to provide you with the most beneficial services. You may want to upload it on your own website and make certain that it's going to play well on any media device with a mobile device, tablet, desk top as well as in the news. Make sure that you be sure that it's going to are very effective no matter the speed of connection, resolution or content. There are several factors to make note of if you want to make corporate video production are very effective for you personally: top 10 videos
1. Fail which has a recommendation for "one size fits all". It is advisable to utilize very highest rendition that you'll be generating.
2. Make certain that audio stream plays in sync with all the video stream when editing because what happens if you find that the tape starts therefore the audio comes in later. This looks very unprofessional.
3. It is important in video production the size the frame can be as large as that relating to the largest rendition you anticipate. This certainly will not greater than exactly what the original frame size was though.
4. If you are having text on the tape, make sure that it's legible, crisp and clear. This is often quite challenging if you will be playing both on full screen and so on browsers.
5. When shooting it is essential that you take place steady. If it shakes the encoder may awkward time compressing the information and this will mean a lower quality picture reducing quality compression.
6. Background noise needs to be avoided wherever possible also. If there is noise from traffic or some different you will see that your dialogue will not be clear. Including noisy visuals like busy wall paper like a background.
7. When shooting in HD it is very important first set your camera to 'progressive' for top results. However, should you have documented on 'interlace' make sure to first de-interlace when carrying out your editing. viral videos
8. Lights is critical. Make sure to use the right type of production lighting and also the proper quantity of it so the quality along with the look you want to create is captured and exposed properly. Once the scene is dark you may lose its quality when encoding.
9. The frame rate will have to be constant when shooting. This will ensure no stuttering in the event the tape is replayed. It is essential that you shoot progressive as well. 24fps gives you an even more filmic look vs. 30fps.
10. Beyond the above, see to it that the audio is either mono or stereo and kept to 48 KHZ or 96 KHZ. Maintain the audio level constant as well and ensure that the music are normalized. Optimal dialogue is recorded between -18db and -6db.

Funeral Poems
Poems for a Funeral
One does not leave a funeral in the same way that he has come. He cannot help but have death on his mind. He cannot help but be aware that such is the end of all life. He may look at himself and have a new awareness that his body will not last forever. These thoughts are ones that humans must face and find a way to deal with. Some believe that the death is only the beginning of the next great mystery and the soul is eternal. Others take a practical view that death is all there is. One leaves a funeral with thoughts of life and its fragility on his mind.

Quiz ArchiveAbout Quiz # 331: 1923 Ruston-HornsbyLast week's photo was send to us by Peter Johnston. The image was of the interior of the Ruston-Hornsby factory in Lincoln, England. Although a relatively unknown make, we were surprised by the number of correct answers. Almost all of them mentioned that Ruston-Hornsby made two models, which you will find in many an encyclopedia. Actually there were three models: the 16/20 hp (A1 and B1); the 20 hp (A2 and B2) and the 20/25 hp (the A3)! The only one to come close was Hugh Stiles, who also dated the photograph as of 1923 and thus identified the model (see Read More for his answer). Congratulations with your second win, Hugh! A particular feature of the Ruston-Hornsby was its radiator mascot Ruston Hornsby of which we wrote an article some five years ago. See Read More for the list of those with a correct answer PLUS a history of the Ruston & Hornsby make written by jury member Stuart Penketh! The winning answer by Hugh Stiles: "The cars are Ruston-Hornsby. Three models were manufactured: A1 or "Fifteen", B1 or "Sixteen" (both Dorman-engined) and A2 or "Twenty" (own engine). The cars were very heavy, being built on a 9" chassis and extremely expensive (£440 to nearly £1000) and so could not compete with cheaper, lighter machines. About 1,500 were made between 1919 and 1924. A 4" high brass Lincoln imp radiator mascot was an optional extra. The wheels (6 stud 815 x 120 Michelin disc) and date (the photograph comes from a 1923 brochure) identify the cars as A1 ("fifteen") or B1 ("Sixteen") models." Others with a correct answer: Sven Ljungström Kaspars Dortāns Sujit Gupta John Kent Tony Prebensen Rod Renfrew Frazer Sloan Manuel Craig Gilingham And jury members: John Robins Fried Stol Frans Vrijaldenhoven David Green and Stuart Penketh who wrote: The Ruston-Hornsby car The original company was Proctor and Burton established in 1840, operating as millwrights and engineers. They became Ruston, Proctor and Company in 1857 when Joseph Ruston joined them. Hornsby - Akroyd Stuart Engine Work with Herbert Akroyd Stuart in the 1890s lead to the world's first commercial heavy oil engines being made in Grantham (from 8 July 1892). This was the first recognisable 'diesel engine', although it was built several years before Rudolf Diesel built his first prototype engines. 32,417 of the vaporising oil ('hot-bulb') engines were made by Hornsbys. They would provide electricity for lighting the Taj Mahal, Rock of Gibraltar, Statue of Liberty (chosen after Hornsbys won the oil engine prize at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893), many lighthouses and for powering Marconi's first transatlantic radio broadcast. On 11 September 1918, the company amalgamated with Richard Hornsby & Sons of Grantham (1828-1918) to become Ruston and Hornsby Ltd. Richard Hornsby & Sons was an engine and machinery manufacturer In World War 1, the company made around 2750 aeroplanes and 3000 aero engines. The 1000th Sopwith Camel (B7380), built at the plant in 1917,[2][3] was named the Wings of Horus. The company built around 1,600 Sopwith Camels, 250 Sopwith 1½ Strutters, and 200 Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2s. The company, as Ruston & Proctor, was the largest British builder of aero-engines in the War, and built the largest bomb of the war. The first German Zeppelin to be shot down on British soil was done so by a Ruston-built BE2 fighter. The pilot, Lt Leefe Robinson was awarded the Victoria Cross for this deed. After World War I the company attempted to diversify and one outcome was the Ruston-Hornsby car. Two versions were made, the A1 , a 15.9 hp with a Dorman 2614 cc engine and a larger 20 hp model (A2) with 3308 cc engine of their own manufacture. The cars were however very heavy, being built on a 9-inch chassis and extremely expensive ? the cheapest was around £440 and the most expensive nearly £1000, and within a few years other makers were selling similar vehicles that weighed only 3/4 ton and cost around £120 - £200 ? and never reached the hoped-for production volumes. About 1300 were made between 1920 and 1925 , two of which are still retained by Siemens on the Lincoln site, one is fully restored in running/driving condition while the second example is still awaiting attention. The R-H car was developed by the Chief Engineer, Edward Boughton who joined the company in 1916 after helping to develop the tank. Later he would start the Automotive Products Group (APG) in Leamington Spa in 1920 which made Borg & Beck clutches, Lockheed hydraulic brakes, and Purolator fuel filters. Saturday, 22 September 2012

Tenacious Winter, She Breathes, She Does Not Yet Sleep.
But close you eyes against the sun, for this golden haze will bring a memory,
a memory to warm your skin.
Tuesday, 18 January 2011
A Redolent Air Comes Stealing.
You know that feeling, this time of year, when you step out into the still dark garden, into the early morning, after the frost has gone, and the air tingles with tentative birdsong, and you pause and look to one another, searching in the deep blue shadows for the others surprise.
The air is
And you both smile and move off the step and into the day.
And all day your eyes are on the skies, your ears are pricked, your nose may even twitch, your bones
just know.
Spring is somewhere, hidden still, shy and not quite ready, but heralded by every feathered harbinger that cannot keep their tongue, by the teasing air that startles your skin, sets it aquiver, by the sun that seems caught in the trembling reeds, caught in the evening that stays a little longer.
And even though you know the cold is not done with us, and the frost may well be there tomorrow, still, you have Sense-ed the Spring.
And she is not so far away.
Sunday, 9 January 2011
When At Last This Night Is Upon Us, Fie On It!!
We are firmly inside the door of the new year. Shh, pause and listen for a spell. We do not look over our shoulder as we hear the quiet click behind us.
Hipstamatic photos.
Instead we gather around us those dear ones that mean something to us, we pull tight the lovely threads that have slipped and loosened, carefully, with sure and steady fingers we weave them back into the fabric that is Us. And there they lie once more, caught fast, held tight, blending brightly and perfectly, just where they always were.
We have spent the last week catching up with family and friends, establishing new bonds, reaffirming old ones, attempting to stay warm.
Tonight, the house is quiet, little heads already slumber on fragrant pillows, sleep staving off the inevitability of school tomorrow.
After almost a month off, between snow and holidays, we brace ourselves for dawn.
Fie!! Fie!! Oh, most dastardly drudge! We do not like thee, no we do NOT!!
We DO like pajama days and lie-ins, and games late into the night,
and snowmen and endless, lazy meals with dearlings, (and a glass of wine or two along with it,)
and nowhere in particular to be, and a long neglected clock that may or may not still be correct,
and pancake mornings that seem to go on and on and on forever,
and many a moonlit dash through the sparkling garden, down the dark, dark path,
into the welcome glow, for tea or games or chat,
and the journeys together to join hands with family,
like the needle that pulls the thread, tracing back over each stitch yet again,
and the gathering of happiness that closes in around us,
and most of all,

UC, Cal State should make more students eligible for admission, study says
California's two public university systems should boost the number of high school graduates eligible for admission and improve college graduation rates, according to a report released Thursday. The report by the nonprofit Public Policy Institute of California recommends changes to the state's 50-year-old Master Plan for Higher Education, which established admission guidelines for the University of California and the California State University systems. The master plan now calls on UC to choose its students from the top 12.5% of high school graduates and Cal State from the top 33.3%, based on high school grades, test scores and other measures. The institute said the numbers should be expanded to the top 15% for UC eligibility and the top 40% for Cal State by 2025.
Current levels of college enrollment and completion "are insufficient for the challenges of the 21st century," states the report by the San Francisco-based nonpartisan group.
The change could occur without lowering the eligibility standards because growing numbers of students are taking the high school courses required by the universities for entrance, Public Policy Institute officials said. The study acknowledged, however, that the proposal faces significant financial hurdles at a time when the universities are reducing enrollments because of the state budget crisis. --Larry Gordon

The 1990s in Latin America: Another Decade of Persistent Inequality, but with Somewhat Lower Poverty
This paper processes 76 household surveys from 17 Latin American countries to document changes in poverty and inequality during the 1990s, and performs an analysis of the effect of economic reforms on inequality and poverty by using an expanded data base of 94 surveys spanning the 1977-2000 period. We show that there is no country in Latin America where inequality declined during the 1990s. Poverty declined in 10 or 11 out of the 17 countries for which household surveys are available to us, depending on the poverty measured used. Persistently high inequality inhibited further poverty reduction. One important factor contributing to the persistently high inequality level is financial liberalization. Trade liberalization and slight inequality-reducing effect.

Looks like those rumors about Matt getting serious with 22-year-old Brazilian model Camila Alves are true. The Penelope Cruz look alike was photographed with MM while visiting a friend in LA this weekend. The two have evidently been spending lots of time together and Matt has even met Camila's parents. Seeing him with a 22 year old just reminds me of his most famous movie line in Dazed & Confused, "I keep getting older; they stay the same age." Talk about art imitating life.

Hahaha! Funny joke.
Hahaha! Funny joke.
I used to think he was hot, but now I would not go anywhere near him. He seems shallow, smelly, self-obsessed and unable to become a serious actor. The girl is WAY to pretty and classy for him, but so was Penelope. I'm just glad she dumped him in time. He should be with someone like Tara Reid.
Someone said she looked like a mix of Eva L. and Halle B. I think that's exactly right. Maybe he's wearing the wedding band because they secretly got married!
yes, why is he wearing a wedding band. she's cute..i do like her dress. although is it supposed to be worn without a bra?
I also love that dress! Anyone know anything about it?
KayoI also love that dress! Anyone know anything about it?
Matt seems to like the same kinda girls. I'm sure they'll last. LOL.
THAT DRESS!! UGH. NOT CUTE AT ALL.Matt seems to like the same kinda girls. I'm sure they'll last. LOL.
From what I can see I don't think she's that pretty at all but Matt isn't the best looking guy out there either...but besides that they must have a lot in common right? lol
any reason why he is wearing a wedding band on his ring finger??!!!
good greif
This guy has just spent months screwing backpackers up and down the coast of Queensland. When did he have the time to get serious with a new girlfriend?
Obrigado Geminidolly:rotfl:________________________________________Made in Brasil!
Obrigado Geminidolly

Is this what he wore to meet her family too? LOL!
Hey Mom and Dad I want you to meet my new boyfriend.. he lives in his Streamliner on the beach, he is into yoga and surfing and smoking dubbies while playing the bongos in the nude and brushing his teeth while he drives. But he is worth several million.. so its all good! And the next time he passes out from one of his alcohol and dancing mind trips... I promise I will shave him and wash his hair.
Oh MM come back and join us here in the real world dude!!

Why does she want to hang out with this grandpa?

Wow, she's gorgeous. What's with the wedding band on his finger?
WOW, gorgeous woman!Besides, it was time for some fresh faces.

An identifiable and non-threatening lady in both her nature and approach. Rather, Rachel put her life on the line to stand up against a policy that is inhumane.
Thousands of people do this every single day around the globe, in an effort to stop violence and atrocities against land, people, animals and crops.
Rachel is guilty only of assuming that another human being into whose eyes she was looking would not take her life.
Witnesses report that first she sat down in front of the bulldozer when it was still at least 10 meters away and she was in plain sight. Then as the bulldozer kept advancing, she got up, climbed up on a mound of dirt and rubble, in order to look the bulldozer driver in the eye. It is not credible to assert that the bulldozer driver could have missed her
Rachel Corrie lies on the ground fatally injured by the Israeli military bulldozer driver. Rachel's fellow activists have dug her a little out of the sand and are trying to keep her neck straight due to spinal injury. Picture taken at 4:47PM on 16 March 2003, Rafah, Occupied Gaza.

I cried when I saw her 5th grade speech...
When we replied that, indeed, we had crossed the sea in not only this small boat, but one even smaller, 44 of us challenging Israel's blockade on the 1.5 million Palestinians of Gaza, he caught Gaza Fever.
"You need a proper boat," he said. "I'm going back to my people in Malaysia and see how we can help you raise money to send more boats back to Gaza."
And that's exactly what he and his wife did.
They went back to their citizens and, through the Perdana Global Peace Organization, helped to raise over EURO 300,000 for the Free Gaza to purchase a cargo ship and two passenger boats. These are the boats we are sailing to Gaza beginning mid-May (one of which is the MV Rachel Corrie) ~ perdana4peace

I love Ravel's Daphnis and Chloë especially—it is such wonderful writing for the instrument.
I like to arrive early at the Kennedy Center and check my harp for broken strings. Then I relax either by having dinner, or just reading, and return to the stage about 30 minutes before concert time to tune and warm-up.
A few years ago we played Act III of Die Walküre under Ivan Fischer—something about his gesture when we landed on the "Magic Fire Music" at the end was really thrilling and magical, even though it is one of the most difficult excerpts in the repertoire for harp. I looked forward to that moment in each performance.
When I'm relaxing I like to listen to traditional Irish and Scottish music. But usually my iPod is filled with music I'm preparing either to play with the NSO, or to teach.

Serve the curry with steamed white rice and Indian beer, and make a stop at an Indian restaurant to get some samosas — savory filled pastries — to pass as appetizers, and the flatbread called naan to sop up the curry sauce. For dessert, how about assorted teas and a carrot cake?

Heh, I was amused by the pizza (makes me wonder how many sponsors Sorakake has...maybe should check credits some time; quite sure I've seen other companies prominently-featured in the anime), though the dream bit perplexed me. I liked Ep 14 (screenshots) because Fon was interesting.

You got it backwards. Sunrise made the conscious decision that if they were going to have pizza hut sponsorship, they might as well go full steam ahead and justify it in the script themselves. The correct term is "refuge in audacity". Pizza Hut only paid to have their logo in the background, everything else is Sunrise's own doing.

This isn't a new trend, Sunrise started it 3 years ago with Code Geass, C.C. ordered and ate Pizza from Pizza Hut. The advertising powers was so strong that Pizza Hut had increased sales, C.C. became the spokesperson for Pizza Hut.
After Geass, Macross Frontier was the next anime involvement, but the didn't advertise in the anime itself. Instead Ranka and Sheryl were on the pizza boxes, maybe for people to collect. Now after Macross Frontier and Code Geass R2, Sorakake has taken over. They advertised in the show like Geass and at the same time appeared on pizza boxes.

You can wish for that, but the Japanese animation seminar I attended seems to be going against your wishes.
The panel was saying that they found that its a good advertising medium for products and its good for the market. But mostly its the mainstream anime and most powerful studios who will be doing such, which Sunrise is all about. Sorakake itself is a giant commercial with a great anime. Lantis, Goodsmile, Bushiroad, Cospa, Pizzahut etc.

Well, now that the trend has started (I mean, Nike is a sponsor of Basquash and it's heavily displayed on the anime itself), I'd advise you to bear with it. It's more money for the production, plain and simple...

And look at it another way; this is actually how ALL advertising used to be, back when tv shows were always shown live on air. Actors and Hosts would promote products like they were in the Trumanshow movie. The separation of advertising into breaks between shows that were pre-recorded was a relatively recent development. And with Tivo and other such things cutting ads out all together, proper integration of ads into the plot is actually the least intrusive form of advertising available. The bottom line is, the ads is what is paying the bills. And if we want to get free online streaming of legal anime, this advertising revenue is what would keep companies afloat long enough for us to buy the DVDs.

Gainax actually had an advertising deal with a drink company for FLCL, and that's why the class rep was drinking that company's product. The advertising deal fell through, but Gainax was too lazy to change the animation, so they kept the ad in without being paid for it.

I'm fine with Pizza Hut featuring in the amusement park episode of Marimite S4 because it was unobtrusive and logically one would plausibly expect to eat fast food at an amusement park. Moreover the characters had in no way made any reference to the pizza they were eating and the plot had transitioned smoothly during the scene. Over here in Sora Kake, it appears that 5 minutes of an episode has been taken up by an infomercial of sorts to convince viewers that pizza is really tasty. /rant Last edited by zetsubou-san; 2009-04-15 at 09:42. |

Subject | Re: unable to start Tomcat through the Windows Services panel |
Date | Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:51:16 GMT |
I remember installing an older version of Tomcat some years ago and it had a Setup.exe or Install.exe program in its library which invoked the Windows installer and installed it as a service. Some of the documentation for version 7 mentions the Windows installer but does not provide a link or gives an actual name. In some other part of the documentation it says to download the binary version and expand it in its own directory, which I did, but I can not find a Windows program that will install it and set it up as a service. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and I did download the Tomcat 64 bit binary version I also tried at the command prompt the following to install it as a service, which I did, but it still will not start through the Windows Services panel. tomcat7 //IS//Tomcat7 --DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 7" --Install="C:\Tomcat7042\bin\tomcat7.exe" --Jvm=auto --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop Thank you Javier España Sr. Technical Analyst Honda North American Services, LLC.

Was I missing some parameter? Possibly. Depending on your particulat case, you may have needed to specifiy some option, and because you did not, it may have placed a wrong parameter somewhere, or used the wrong version of some module. I don't really now, this is just speculation. But obviously there is something wrong with the way your Service is defined. Or is there a better way of > installing Tomcat? > If all you want is to run Tomcat as a Service, then yes there is an easier way : download the "installer" version from the Tomcat website, and run it. I am a bit unfamiliar with the SERVICE.BAT file, but I would guess that it can also be run to uninstall the Service that you have already installed now. If it does offer that, then run the "SERVICE.BAT uninstall" first, and then run the "installer" that you downloaded. You can install it in the same directory as before, and it will just overwrite some files. As others have testified before, the installer version works fine and does the right thing automatically. Note that the "installer" version does not install all the files which are contained in the zip version, only the subset of them needed to run the Service version. It does not for example install the BAT files, since they are not needed to run the Service. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com | |
