Somewhere in California a Woman Is Having Fun in Free Motorcycle Boots!
International Female Ride Day Defined
Women joining in and riding on International Female Ride Day© demonstrate their passion, ability, enthusiasm and involvement in motorcycling on all levels. All brands participate across all forms of motorcycling: road, track, dirt even three-wheelers, side-cars and scooters.
How Mastering These Five Essential Motorcycle Riding Skills Can Keep You Safe And At The Top of Your Riding Game
Often there can be long pauses between most riders rides from days to weeks or even months. Therefore it's best to keep your motorcycle riding skills especially those emergency procedures honed, active and -close at hand.
MOTORESS commerce items are certainly going well in the online shop. I get such personal pleasure in being able to provide terrific products which I've either created or used myself. It's not often you'll find items for women in motorcycling/ scootering endorsed by another woman.
About a month ago we had a very determined shopper – Ms Colette Jue of San Francisco California who purchased a gift certificate. It took her three credit card attempts where the third card finally went through. The others were declined. She purchased one of our gift certificates in the amount of $250. How nice, a gift which would certainly make someone very happy.
The next day Ms. Luan Nguyen Thanh from Westminster, California went through our shop and purchased our new fabulous ankle high Drift boot by Exustar. She also purchased a few lipsticks, our mineral bronzer and shimmer powder- using the gift certificate Colette bought the day before.
Promptly and with pleasure, we shipped the boots and cosmetics.
Then, a few weeks later, our online banking partner Moneris took back the $250.00 from our bank account (a charge-back). Evidently, the transaction was fraudulent and Ms Colette Jue never authorised use of her card.
After much debate and paperwork substantiating our actions to the situation, we were still not able to reverse the loss. As Colette did not authorise use of her card, nor did she receive the goods, there was little we could do.
The loss, with shipping, cost of goods, etc. totalled $300. on our side. And though frustrating; mostly in that our banking partner didn't stand behind our integrity and faulted us for processing the card – I didn't feel any anger at the fact of being ripped off by a devious crook.
No, I actually felt quite complimented as this person, a woman, so desired these motorcycle boots and our cosmetics that she went to great lengths to acquire them. For heaven's sake, she committed a crime to have them!
That's truthfully flattering in my books. But mainly, I thought that she obviously needed them much more than we did.
Of course my business can't afford to incur losses like these regularly. It hurt indeed, but lessons learned now created procedures to avoid such an occurrence in the future.
And best of all, when I imagine this woman on her motorcycle or scooter, enjoying her fabulous free motorcycle boots along with her Beauty Gear accented lips and bronzed glittery face; a happy feeling takes me over …that can't be bought or stolen!

(KTVI) – Indian officials have suspended a politician after he was accused of raping a woman by her husband. The suspension came after national Indian television showed footage of the politician being stripped of his shirt and slapped by women.
According to the BBC pressure has grown for tougher sentences for those convicted of rape. This all comes after a woman was attacked in Delhi in December. She later died. Five men were arrested in connection with that incident.

Currently BrowsingROMs
One of the most important reasons I decided to buy a Samsung Galaxy S3, instead of waiting for the new Nexus device, was that given the popularity of the Galaxy brand, there were bound to be hundreds of custom ROMs developed for it. See, if there was an AA group for customization addicts, I'd be standing there now and introducing myself, "Hello, my name is Rita and I'm an addict."
For about 2 months after getting the S3, I gave Samsung the benefit of the doubt, restraining myself to their own ICS flavor. However, the delay in official Jelly Bean's arrival on my device and the itch to try something new finally pushed me over the edge. So I set out searching for custom ROMs and I looked at CyanogenMod first, a long-time favorite. But it was either a choice between a stable ICS — isn't that what I was running away from? — with CM9, or a nightly Jelly Bean with CM10 and many bugs still plaguing it.
Then I widened my horizons, downloaded about 10 different ROMs and ended up on FoxHound, a surprisingly awesome custom ROM that ticked so many boxes for me. Here are the reasons I fell in love with it and decided to use it as a daily driver.
CyanogenMod is an alternative firmware which is available for Android powered smart-phones and tablets. It is based on the Android Open Source Project and is a highly customizable firmware. Basically, it provides several additional features and enhancements which you will not find in stock Android ROMS.
The HTC Sense, Motoblur and Timescape interfaces are brilliant eye-candies for Android users [some readers might disagree – Ed], but they are quite slow. CyanogenMod ROMs are lightweight, stable and fast — without altering the core Android interface — which is why most people prefer this particular ROM over other stock ROMs.
A stable release of CyanogenMod 9 is on its way, but while we wait, let's take a detailed look at what makes CM7 so great.
See also: 10 Reasons You Should Try CyanogenMod and 5 Tricks to Stick With It
I was not the greatest expert on Android phones when I purchased the X2, and will not claim to be that now. When I bought it, I had been using a Sanyo Zio for quite some time, but decided to switch when I read that the X2 boasted the uber-fast Nvidia Tegra 2 chip.
Eventually, after many Froyo nightmares and force-closes, I realized that specs don't mean everything. The software was nowhere near what it needed to be to make the phone a great device. However, a bit of trolling through XDA's forums presented to me that light at the end of the tunnel. And that light was the Eclipse ROM. (more…)
When it comes to community-developed custom ROMs on Android, there are two contenders that you will hear people talk about a lot more than any of the rest: CyanogenMod and MIUI. I previously reviewed CyanogenMod stating 10 of its great features and 5 tricks to improve on its shortcomings.
Despite how much I loved CM7, I have decided to give MIUI a go, and have been running v1.09.16 for over seven weeks on my HTC Desire Z. In the following review, I will share with you my findings, stating the reasons I have loved MIUI and those that are making me consider going back to CyanogenMod. (more…)
When I first got my HTC Desire Z, I was in love, awestruck at the beautiful Sense interface and the numerous tweaks HTC had done to take the Android experience to the next level. However, as I went about installing my plethora of apps, games and widgets (over a hundred, I am a junkie), Sense started getting in the way instead of improving my experience. The home screen would restart every few hours; every tap took longer to register; screen rotation when sliding open the keyboard went on for ages; and the whole phone felt like it was struggling to get by.
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7), a Gingerbread-based stock Android ROM, had been on my radar for a while. It's currently available for 28 devices, old and new, tablets and phones, including the Nexus One, HTC Incredible, HTC Hero, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy S, and Nook Color. Since my Desire Z was rooted, I decided to give it a shot. Lo and behold, a breath of fresh air swooped through my phone and it felt brand new without the clunky, RAM-hungry, processor-intensive Sense layer. Two months later, I am a convert, for several reasons which I'll recount below.
MIUI is a very visually appealing ROM for Android, borrowing a vast number of aesthetic elements from iOS. If you've been missing (or yearning after) the look and feel of iOS, then MIUI is definitely for you. But, how does it stack up against the other options available?
I will, again, be using my HTC Desire running stock settings for this review.
Oxygen is a minimalist ROM built on Gingerbread for the HTC Desire, with an emphasis on running smoothly and conserving power. But how does it compare to the Desire's stock ROM, which runs HTC Sense?
In this review, I'll be covering v2.0-RC7 of Oxygen. Naturally, to install it to a Desire or any Android, you must first root your device.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Andrew from They break if you blow on them. To be honest I'm exaggerating above. But they break with too much ease. I'm not talking about dropping and breaking, I mean washing them by hand breaking...or having a dogs tail bump it while it's in your hand and shattering everywhere. I've replaced far too many of these glasses and their beauty does not outweigh how horribly easy they are to break.Date published: 2019-07-04Rated 5 out of 5 by northsub from Beautiful Shape and Size Love this Pinot Noir glass. The size and shape are perfect. Feels good in your hand. I like that the stem is not too thin, and without being bulky at all, it feels sturdy when you hold it. We've had our glasses about 4 months and are very happy with the quality. We hand wash and put on a drying rack. Thinking about getting more.Date published: 2019-01-14Rated 5 out of 5 by AshMerlo from Sexy glasses Bought these a few months ago I always get so many compliments ! They are so pretty. I leave some out for decor on my buffet too, they are very pretty to look at. Made well I've even dropped them in the sink a couple times. They didn't break. Khloe Kardashian has these too!!!Date published: 2017-12-01Rated 1 out of 5 by Gfteacher from Very poor quality!!! I purchased a set about 15 months ago and so far 4 of the 6 have either cracked or shattered and I'm tired of replacing them. I initially purchased them because the description claims that these glasses are break and chip resistant. Well, that is not the case with these glasses. Although, beautiful to look at, they are not practical. I'm really disappointed. I would recommend wasting your money on these glasses.Date published: 2017-06-29Rated 5 out of 5 by antiqueangel from These are beautiful wine glasses! My husband and I saw these in a restaurant on a recent trip to NYC. We thought they were beautiful and bought them for home for the holidays!Date published: 2015-01-06

4-Day Canary Islands Tour
Starting at
This 4-day itinerary will give you a brief but memorable sampling of everything the beautiful island of Tenerife has to offer. Deluxe accommodations, superb food and world famous wines, the perfect climate, and a range of outdoor activities, stargazing, wine tasting, and visits to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, The Teide National Park and La Laguna. Be among the first Americans to visit this breathtaking island.
Fly from any major European Airport to Tenerife South Airport (TFS). You will receive private transfer to your 4 star hotel such as the Sheraton La Caleta, located in the popular southern part of the Island, called Costa Adeje. Check in at your hotel and take some time to get acquainted with your deluxe accommodations for the next 3 nights. The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy, relax and get to know everything there is to offer in this fantastic part of the island.
Included: airport transfers
Accommodations: Sheraton La Caleta, Hardrock Tenerife Hotel, H-10 resort or similar 4-star hotel
After your included hotel breakfast, spend the afternoon on a 4 hour private guided tour on the Northern part of the island. First, head to Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz. Learn how its harbor developed into one of the Atlantic Ocean's most important shipping ports in the 19th century. See the city's shops, restaurants, art galleries, natural history museum, colorful buildings, and striking contemporary architecture of the Adan Martin Auditorium and the Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, that all contribute to a definitively Spanish cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Next, head to La Laguna which is considered to be the cultural capital of the Canary Islands. Its historical center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 and is known for its many beautiful churches, including Santo Domingo, the Church of the Holy Christ and the San Miguel Chapel.
Afterwards, the tour continues to Bodegas Monje Vineyard where you'll enjoy a tasting of traditional Canarian wines. Located 500 meters above sea level, the vineyard is situated on rocky ground and dry lava from the nearby volcano, but over time, the land has become very rich. Although the wine cellars were built in 1983, Bodegas Monje is a family vineyard dating to 1750. The Monje family is among Tenerife's first wine producers, cultivating and bottling wine from the three grapes grown here — Listan Negro, Listan Blanco, and Negramoll.
Included: Breakfast at hotel, full day tour with official guide and ground transportation, wine tasting
This morning, set out the volcanic cliffs of Los Gigantes for a group whale watch, one of the "must do's" while in Tenerife. Just a 15 minute boat ride away from shore, spot Bottlenose dolphins, Pilot whales, and 21 other marine species that are unique to this area. Since these beautiful creatures don't migrate, this means that visitors are practically guaranteed to spot marine life every day of the year!
This evening you will visit Las Cañadas National Park, home to Mt. Teide. This park is characterized by its unique flora and fauna landscape, that can be seen nowhere else on earth. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, Mt. Teide is an iconic attraction and a must-see for visitors. Tenerife is one of the best locations on the planet for stargazing because of its clear dark skies, low light pollution and a high altitude. Due to these exceptional conditions and the activities and guides available to educate visitors, Teide National Park was awarded the "Starlight Tourist Destination" and "Starlight Reserve" certificates by the Starlight Foundation in late 2013. Your stargazing tour includes transportation from your hotel, sunset observation and telescope observation.
Included: Whale watch.
**Evening tour with official guide, transportation, stargazing dinner and astronomical stories.
Prior to departure, today is yours to enjoy however you wish! You may want to check out your hotel's spa, gym, or perhaps spend the morning shopping in Adeje.
Included: airport transfer

With an Alpine breeze tumbling down Mont Blanc, cooling Lake Geneva to an unusually low temperature, this is a ridiculously cold morning to be driving an open-top Jaguar E-type.
But this is not just any E-type; this is 77RW, Chassis No. 3, the star of the E-type launch at this same lakeside venue in 1961.
Back then, the Restaurant Hôtel du Parc des Eaux-Vives in Geneva was the center of a major sales push aimed at well-heeled Swiss car lovers, and 77RW had sped overnight across the Continent to perform for potential buyers.
Mercedes-Benzes, Porsches, Ferraris and Jaguars, period exhausts blaring, were all gunned around the local lanes, speeds rising when someone decided to put an unofficial stopwatch on proceedings.
Modern-day driving is not for such heroics. The car we're driving is priceless, the living embodiment of the shagadelic, Swinging '60s. And 77RW, completely rebuilt after last year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, is about as close to a factory-fresh E-type as possible.
There's no denying that even 50 years on, the E-type's styling still looks sensational, its more than 14-foot-long body flowing seamlessly over an eight-foot wheelbase.
Getting into the cabin elegantly is a challenge, requiring recalibration of any preconceptions about ergonomics. With your knees splayed, the delicate wood-rim wheel sits low in your lap. The thimble-size starter button cranks the 3.8-liter straight-six into life with a bellow from the twin exhausts.
The agility of the chassis is instantly noticeable as the speed rises; the nonpower steering is alive and responsive like that in no modern car. The same goes for the fluid ride, much softer than that of any modern two-seater.
The brakes--one of the first applications of front discs--require a superhero effort to get any bite. But otherwise, the controls reward with that precise metal-to-metal contact long lost in today's refinement-focused cars.
Tiny throttle movements keep the engine and its triple SU carburetors ticking along. But crack the throttle open, and 77RW surges forward, an intense exhaust bellow overwhelming the cabin. The experience is all the more intense because the narrow windshield is a poor barrier against the freezing airflow.
The four-speed Moss gearbox is tight but beautifully positive. First and the dog-leg reverse are easily confused, requiring patience and precision in stop-and-start traffic. Original test driver Norman Dewis has the same problems, which is reassuring.
It takes just one morning's drive to grasp the significance and magic of the E-type, which show no sign of dimming after 50 years.

Keeping the grass roots growing!!
ARCADIA TWP. — Lined up on the firing line at the Lapeer County Sportsmen's Club, 12 of 14 filed candidates running in the Nov. 3 primary election Friday evening introduced themselves to the public and fielded questions from a standing-room only crowd of nearly 300 people.
The Lapeer County Tea Party-sponsored event was the first public opportunity for local residents to see and hear from the largest pool of primary candidates in Michigan history at the county level since they filed their intentions to run Sept. 18.
Todd Courser, who resigned from the 82nd House District seat on Sept. 11, minutes before the House was ready to expel him from office, was among the GOP candidates at the front table.
On hand for the forum were Republican candidates Russell Adams, Courser, Jake Davison, James DeWilde, Rick Guerrero Jr., Gary Howell, Ian Kempf, Allan Landosky, Jan Peabody, Sharna Cramer Smith and Chris Tuski. Democrat Margaret Guerrero DeLuca was there, but her two party challengers Eric Johnson of Lapeer and R.D. Bohm of Dryden were no shows.
With the rest of the candidates already seated for the 7 p.m. start, Courser was the last to arrive — entering two minutes after the event was scheduled to begin, walking slowly along an interior wall for all to see of his entry.
In an opening statement Courser admitted the purpose of the meeting and the large turnout of both candidates and public on a Friday night was "obviously a referendum on me."
Seated in alphabetical order, the candidates began the forum with a two-minute introduction followed by nearly three hours of responses to questions supplied by those in attendance who wrote out their questions beforehand on index cards. Chief Circuit Court Judge Nick Holowka served as moderator for the evening.
Standing by to maintain order were at least four uniformed Lapeer County Sheriff's Dept. deputies and several plainclothes deputies were in the room.
The audience, however, was well behaved and followed instructions to refrain from applause or outbursts and allowed the question and answer format to go off smoothly.
The questions ranged in subject from proposals by the candidates to find a funding solution to fix Michigan's crumbling roads, to whether they supported decriminalization of recreational use of marijuana, to the candidate's view about what should be done to deal with gun violence.
Courser said gun-free zones are the problem, that if more people were allowed to carry guns in currently prohibited locations like schools and movie theaters there would be fewer mass shootings like the one that claimed nine lives at a community college in rural Oregon on Thursday.
"The constitution is the right to carry and there should be an end to handgun regulations," said Courser.
The rest of the Republican field said there are already enough laws to regulate guns in America.
Guerrero DeLuca, a substitute teacher who has been in every school building in the county, was against the idea of allowing guns into school buildings.
On the question of legalized recreational marijuana use, Republican Davis was "100 percent in favor of legalized marijuana" as long as it's heavily regulated.
Courser answered, "You have to decide. As a fiscal conservative it's about the money. It's not my business to stand in the way of what is a personal decision… From my perspective, there is a huge cost to imprison people that have used or possessed marijuana."
While the room was polite, every time Courser spoke there was a low murmur as people whispered amongst themselves as the embattled former state lawmaker spoke to probably the largest public audience in Lapeer Countysince he was elected and his subsequent resignation.
While not mentioning him by name, many candidates when asked how they would keep in contact with constituents made references to returning phone calls, to holding local meetings to hear diverse opinions and to being visible in the community — all complaints that have been said of Courser after he was elected.
The forum wrapped up at 10 p.m., minutes before our print deadline. See our Wednesday edition, for additional reporting of the candidates responses, additional photos of the event, as well as comments for citizens in attendance at the forum.

The Hardened Leather Chair looks like something that would reside in a log cabin, one in which an avid hunter keeps all of his prized kills in. Of course, the walls would be mounted with trophy heads while the floors and furniture would be covered in animal skins. In this case, hardened leather animal skin.
Created by Nikolaj Steenfatt, a designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Hardened Leather Chair was made using an old technique for hardening leather in a 100% natural way. Although this technique was often reserved for the fashioning of corsets and armours, it clearly fits in with furniture as well. A sort of self-supported upholstery, it gives the chair a ruggedly rich appeal.
Sponsored by Søren Leather, the Hardened Leather Chair uses a frame of light ash wood.

Get some fun, do-it-yourself wedding craft ideas as Danielle visits with the folks from RePlayGround. (Nick Scott/MNN)
Danielle: A lot of us think weddings -- stress, the two go hand-in-hand, but it doesn't have to be that way. I'm here today with Tiffany Threadgould from RePlayground. And we're gonna talk about some really cool budget-friendly, do-it-yourself ideas that you could introduce for your eco-friendly wedding that can be cool and cheap. What are a few cool things that you have going on that would be great for the eco-friendly, budget-conscious bride?
Tiffany: Well, here's something that I made for a good friend of mine. These are -- these are invitations made out of old maps.
Danielle: Which are so cute.
Tiffany: So -- so this is -- this was actually for my brother and his wife and they are very into hiking. And so I took these old USGS maps and we -- and I printed on the backside of them and then we used little heart cutouts at the top of the invitation and then these are envelopes that we also made out of the maps as well. But I also have an easy solution of a way that you can take whatever eco-friendly material you want at home. You can -- you can make these envelopes at home. And this is my "ReMake It! Recycling Kit." So this is kind of giving you the tools to recycle. This is the new material that you need, which is a template, also made from recycled paper.
Danielle: You make these really cute butterflies that I'm a huge fan of that help with décor. So let's talk about how that even happened.
Tiffany: So these butterflies that Danielle's talking about are made from old cereal boxes. And basically, I've used these at several events. And they look really great, especially when you use like large quantities of them.
Danielle: Yeah, exactly.
Tiffany: They can make a huge impact.
Danielle: If brides watching this wanna go ahead and put their grooms to work to get some of these cut, do you have a template available for these?
Tiffany: I do. You can go onto my website at replayground.com and you can download it and you can trace around the outside edge --
Danielle: Right.
Tiffany: -- and cut it out and put them together.
Danielle: Excellent. More work for the bridal party. And then you have another idea here which I love that's -- and this is actually a memento for you, the bride, and you, the groom. So let's talk about this.
>> Again, the -- with the people who are really into their wine. This is the "ReMake It! Wine Cork Trivet." And basically you -- you get the metal frame and you can go -- this is also available on my website -- and you take eight wine corks and you screw them onto the base. And then this is a trivet that you can use as a hotplate and it's a great way to remember your wedding.
Danielle: So your concept is you're salvaging corks from wine that you were serving at your wedding.
Tiffany: Exactly.
Danielle: Okay. Very cute. I think it's really cute. Awesome. Thank you so much. This is -- I love all this stuff. I think it gives us all kind of fun things to do at home and I love the idea that you can be sustainable and presenting really fun, unique things, and saving money.

A lot has happened since my last post! I held off posting the final bits of the train float/ display, as we wanted it to be a surprise for the people in Alberta. But we have returned from the install, and are now back at the various thing we started before we went away.
The first order of business is to remind you all about the May 15th deadline for the Vector Pattern contest that Tools Today has going on!
Back on the train side of things....................
A behind the scenes look at film and television Prop making peppered with everything else creative we do!
When I lent my services to a collegue who was working on a film about 12 years ago, I was introduced to the world of cnc. I remember watching this huge machining centre milling out a slab of mdf and turning it into a fantastic set of gears. I knew that it would have taken me hours to achieve the same thing with traditional power tools. I decided then that I would invest in a cnc router for my own business Oxenham Design. At that time I could turn on a computer, but even to check email seemed like a crazy set of operations. I persevered and learned every piece of relevant software I could get my hands on. I am now fortunate enough to be using Vectric's ASPIRE software, and Techno cnc routers, which has helped us to create some amazing projects, both in part, or in full. I thought that this blog would be a great place to share "behind the scenes" adventures with the software, materials and equipment we use, as well as the projects we build.

Alphabet Soup!
That's how I roll!
Once we were finished dealing with the giant letters, Jody moved on to painting the bridge.
I find I'm walking a fine line for this. My artistic, movie prop side really wants to make the train, and the bridge VERY weathered and rusty, but I'm sure the Stettler board of trade would prefer to not show their town as a post apocalyptic, rusty nightmare! So clean looking is the order of the day, but I think the bridge is a very good meld of the 2!

DAVAO CITY, Philippines — Police Regional Office 11 (Davao region) clarified that the process of transmission of reports to the Philippine National Police (PNP) national office is the main reason why they end up as the worst region at solving riding-in-tandem shootings.
Base on the Philippine National Police (PNP) data, only six cases of 74 riding-in-tandem killings recorded have been solved or cleared by the regional office. From October 11, 2017, to May 21, 2018, Davao police efficiency rate on crime solution is only 8.11% for riding-in-tandem cases, the lowest out of all regions even under Martial Law.
But Chief Insp. Milgrace Driz, the PRO-11 spokesperson, said the data is about to be updated since there are some technological and other problems in the transmission of reports between the two offices. Driz cited the problem of inactive submission of reports from the regional office that resulted from the poor ranking of PRO XI.
"Our problem is the delay in the submission of our own Unit Crime Periodic Report. The technology hampers us to report and if there is a delay, the program will not receive it," said Driz
Driz said that regional police does not only focus on cases concerning riding-in-tandem. The crime solution efficiency said Driz "does not only limit on motorcycle riding suspects" since they validate reports on the ground. She added that the PRO XI is also looking into anti-criminality campaigns such as arrest on wanted persons, resolving murder and homicide cases.
"We are 3rd in Crime Solution Efficiency rating and 6th in Crime Clearance Efficiency from January to April this year," said Driz
Compared last year, Driz said,"in the advent of the oversight committee of police operations especially during the assessment and evaluation of the eight focus crimes perpetrated by motor riding suspect covering the period of January 1 up to May, we recorded a decreasing number of crimes."
PRO XI recorded 148 cases in January to May 2017 while only 82 cases on the same period in 2018 of motor riding suspects related to all crimes reported. (davaotoday.com)

Lefebvre Software and Cezanne Software become Talentia Software: A name change reflecting new ambitions
Focused on the future and in the wake of its acquisition on 25 February 2013, of European HR and talent management software supplier, Cezanne Software, Lefebvre Software is taking the new name, Talentia Software. This name better reflects, under a major international brand, its unified focus on a shared ambition: managing the financial performance and human resources of its clients – including both major accounts, and small and mid-sized enterprises – by bringing together solutions, services and expertise!
The acquisition of Cezanne Software, which was the fifth external-expansion operation completed in less than six years by Lefebvre Software, represents a significant change in scope, not just in terms types of services with the inclusion of HR management solutions and complementary skills, but also a strengthening of geographic positions, primarily in Europe and directly or indirectly in the Americas.
"We thought it was essential to bring together under one international brand all of our subsidiaries and associates, and to offer our clients a range of solutions both integrated and modular for optimum management of company performance. The name Talentia symbolises our values and commitment to supporting our clients, in guiding their Financial Performance and Human Capital management as part of the strategic and economic challenges facing every company," says Viviane Chaine- Ribeiro, President of Lefebvre Software, now known as Talentia Software.
The Talentia Software Group in Numbers
Despite a difficult economic environment, from 2008 to 2012 Lefebvre Software's turnover almost doubled, reaching €46.1M in 2012, up 9.5% over the previous year. Over the last four years, the company's EBITDA grew by 538%, reaching 18% in 2012, up 30% compared to 2011.
This outstanding performance ratifies the company's strategy of combining organic growth and external expansion. The number of new clients resulting from the merger of the two companies is estimated at nearly 600; and with more than 500 new customer contracts finalised in 2012, the group is committed to cultivating and growing client relationships based on trust and mutual partnership. Now that 2013 is well under way, the new group, set up and brought together under the name of Talentia Software, is supporting 3,600 clients internationally, with greater opportunities for cross-selling and recurring revenue. It is estimated that turnover by the end of 2013 will be nearly €60M, the result of the commitment and talent of its 430 associates in eight countries.
Innovation and expansion of the solutions offered by the Talentia Software Group: Specialised, integrated and flexible solutions to meet companies' business challenges
The Talentia Software Group offers a broad range of solutions to guide company performance:
- Financial Performance with Talentia Finance, Talentia Assets, Talentia CPM, with optimised management tools for accounting, consolidation, reporting, budget preparation, inter-company transactions, etc.

The No-Grumble Guide to Paying Taxes
At this point it's a cliché, but true. There are two things you can't avoid in life: paying taxes is one of them.
Instead of grumbling, it's important to understand that paying taxes is our way of contributing to the greater good of society – for example, the roads, schools and services we depend upon each day. Taxes are an integral part of our history, too, the very reason we fought for our independence. When the Constitution was written, provisions were created so that taxation could be doled out fairly, efficiently, and responsibly.
Though you may or may not agree on taxes politically, it's your civic duty to pay them. Of course, it's helpful to understand:
Why you pay them
How to pay them without penalty
Ways to avoid overpaying them
The next time you fill out a Form W-4, you can do so with a smile on your face and pride in your heart. When you think about it, taxes are kind of a privilege. A patriotic…joy!
Okay…maybe not a joy.
The point is, in the wise and immortal words of Benjamin Franklin: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
So you might as well get used to them.

Oracle OpenWorld 2014 is a few short weeks away. After about 4 years of attending Open World, this year, I'll be doing 2 sessions. Get you run on Sunday at the Golden Gate then hit the Sunday Symposiums. I'll talking about Regular Expressions 101 (UGF9128). For the brave at heart, or the stoopid, I'm not sure which, some of us are going to take a dip in the invigorating waters of the San Francisco Bay. I'm off the hook then until Thursday when I do my final presentation on Database Migration (CON2378). If you know me, then you know I'll be using SQLDev to demonstrate this. I'm sure I'll see everyone around.

- #141 Ranking
- 10,654 Students
- Public Institution Type
The university was founded in 1967. The university is the youngest university in the state of Baden-Württemberg, which boasts several old, renowned universities in Heidelberg (1386), Freiburg (1457) and Tübingen (1477). The idea was to create a university with a new approach in both research and teaching.
The University of Ulm (German: Universität Ulm) is a public university in the city of Ulm, in the South German state of Baden-Württemberg. The university focuses on natural sciences, medicine and the engineering sciences, mathematics/ economics and computer science. With over 7,000 students, it is one of the smaller universities in Germany.An important concept since the foundation of the university has always been to promote interdisciplinarity.
Scientists at Ulm University carry out research on an international level in order to find answers to the big scientific questions and to tackle global challenges.
Our research focus is:
Are you looking for a job or an internship? Are you currently applying? The Career Service gladly supports you with the following offerings:
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2019. By rating institutions on a scale from 1 to 5, on multiple studies-related questions, we found the top educators in the world.Learn more about the Global Student Satisfaction Awards
The City of Ulm is a friendly and safe place in the South of Germany. It is situated on the Danube River, in between the city Stuttgart and the Bavarian hot spot Munich. 170,000 people live in the city area of Ulm and Neu-Ulm. The region is well-known for its economic strengths and high standard of living. Ulm and the region offer many events among them various traditional customs like "Nabada" – a water festival during the summer time – but also museums, galleries, bars and shopping facilities. Last but not least, the regional "Swabian" food is delicious – enough reasons to come and get to know Ulm and Ulm University!
Workspaces are provided in all publicly accessible areas at both library locations. You can choose to study either in the open reading room area or in the stack aisles, and a limited number of personal study carrels are provided for quite study. In addition to these conventional work spaces, we provide a modern study environment with multimedia group work rooms and a lounge area.
The Portal is the central access point to electronic campus services around study and teaching offered at Ulm University.
Most of these services require authentication with a kiz account. Upon login, the portal – based on the central Identity Management System – provides functions and data that are personalised and user group-dependent.
In many countries, it is customary to first go to the ambulance at a hospital if you get ill. In Germany, you only go to the ambulance in case of emergencies or at night/on the weekends, when the doctors' offices are closed.
The dental clinic of Ulm University offers a wide range of dental treatments.
Ulm and its sister city Neu-Ulm are the economic center of a large region that lies between the Alband Lake Constance. Approximately 180,000 people live in both cities and almost 1,000,000 inhabit theregion of Danube-Iller. Approximately 17,500 young people study in Ulm and Neu-Ulm.
A university group (HSG) is an easy way to work together with like-minded people for interests, to form opinions or just to network. University groups work basically independently, but should be supported and supported by the status of university groups of the StuVe.
The atmosphere at the university is familiar and friendly for students. The professors are nice and take care of you. There are student assistant jobs which are really interesting and give you the opportunity to improve the teaching at the university. The study program could include for lectures about purely mathematical topics, especially topology. It would also be...
Neat city, close to mountains and lakes, small enough for personal study feeling but some nice reputation.
Student friendly environment. Greater opportunities and practical orientated program.

Ice Mom's Sewing Guide: How to Dye Silk for Figure Skating Skirts
Other posts in this series: All about Patterns, All about Fabrics, How to Dye Silk for Fabric Skating Skirts, Altering Your Growing Skater's Figure Skating Dress, Laying out the Pattern.
This guest post is courtesy of reader C.M. who knows way more than I do about dyeing anything. Please realize that I have zero experience with dying silk or using silk for figure skating skirts. Post any questions about this technique in the comments. Thanks! Ice Mom.
I (guest poster C.M.) use the silk chiffon from the Dharma Trading Company. They have several different weights available. Any of them can be used for skirts: if you want a "fluffy" skirt with lots of layers, the silk gauze works well. For most standard skirts with two layers I use the medium weight chiffon (10 mm). If you want a non-see-through single layer skirt, the double chiffon is best. They also offer this fabric in black because it is very difficult to dye fabrics a true black color. Black is the only color that I would buy ready-made.
The great thing about dyeing silk is that it is very easy to dye on the stovetop (far easier than tie-dyeing). There are several products available for this. I would steer clear of RIT, Dylon, or any other dye available in a craft store. These are general-purpose dyes that do not react with the fibers to form a permanent bond. The colors are not bright and will fade/run over time. My favorite product is the Jacquard acid dye (you can get this from Dharma, or you can go to the manufacturer's Website to see if any nearby stores stock it). This dye does a great job of giving results that are vibrant, even, and (very) permanent. It is very safe to use as the only other chemical you need is white vinegar. It is very concentrated and a small jar will go a long way.
I have been following the directions posted on the Dharma Website and I have yet to have any problems. When you receive the dye, there will be a swatch on the jar that indicates the color that the fabric will come out if it is fully saturated with dye. It cannot get any brighter/darker than that. The directions tell you how much dye is needed to fully saturate a pound of fiber. In order to determine how much dye you need, you should weigh your fabric (I have an inexpensive gram scale) and calculate how much dye you need from that. If you use more dye than this, some of it will not react with the fabric and will end up getting poured down the drain (these dyes are not all that hazardous, but it is best to be safe). If you want a lighter shade, you can cut the calculated amount of dye by a factor of 2, 4, etc. To get pastels, I cut it by a factor of 10. As long as you don't exceed the saturation point, there should be little to no color left in the dye bath once the simmering is complete.
I don't cut out the pieces of the skirt before dyeing because the edges of the fabric tend to come out a little darker. Once the process is over, you can rinse the fabric in a special detergent called synthrapol in order to remove any unreacted pigment (there is not a lot of excess runoff with this product, but it will soften the fabric). Once it is done, I hang it to dry. It is best to not put this fabric in the dryer because it will shrink and gain a crinkly texture. Once it's dry, it is good to sew. Just remember to cut the skirt a little bit bigger because it does not stretch.
The most nerve-wracking part about this process is getting the dyed fabric to match the Lycra. The best way to do this is to compare a swatch of your Lycra to the different colored dyes available and select closest color match. Some people are advanced enough that they can successfully mix colors; however I feel that the manufacturer offers enough colors (and most skaters select more or less "standard" colors for their dresses anyway). No matter how hard you try, you will not get an exact color match, but nobody is going to notice as long as it's close. If you are anal about it, you can dye small swatches and take notes about how much dye you use. I just estimate using the swatch on the jar and I always get "in the ballpark" results.
When I first tried this, I had my doubts. However, after my first attempt, I was shocked at how nicely the fabric dyed. If you follow the directions and keep good notes, you cannot fail at this. Dharma as well as the manufacturer have great product support and are happy to answer your questions if you call them. It seems scary, but it is not that hard.
I have read that some designers also dye their own Lycra with this product (i.e. Sasha Cohen's seamstress). However, the same dye recipe will not yield the same color in the Lycra and the silk. This means that you have to use two different recipes to get the same color (not fun to figure out).
The dyeing technique that I described is only useful for solid color dyeing. I only use it when I need to match the silk to a colored lycra bodice. For example, if I were to make a royal blue dress, I would buy the blue lycra and I would dye the white silk to match the lycra as best as I could. I have heard that some people use tub dyeing to achieve an ombre effect, but I have never tried it, so I can't give you any advice on that. When it comes to doing an ombre effect, I use an airbrush with a special paint called dye-na-flo. This is a special paint that can be used with an airbrush on pretty much any fabric you like (not just silk). Just remember to follow the directions.
The link to the acid dyes (and their instructions) can be found here. You might notice that Sasha Cohen's seamstress is featured on this page for using this product (if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me!).
Dharma offers silk chiffon in a few weights and any of them could be used depending on what type of skirt you like. This fabric is semi-sheer in most cases, so you will usually need to do multiple layers in order to avoid the see-through skirt. I almost always use the medium weight 10 mm. For this, you need to make a double-layer skirt.
If you want to make a single-layer skirt, use the double chiffon. It all depends on what look you are going for. I think having a see-thru skirt defeats the purpose of having a skirt, so I always double up or go with the thicker material. Be warned that the commercial patterns (such as Kwik-Sew) are designed to make skirts with stretch material, so you will need to cut the skirt a little bit bigger. Pin it to the bodice and have the skater try it on so you can make adjustments to the fullness.
I learned all of this from buying the products and trying them out for myself, so you might find something that works better for you. Unfortunately, a lot of dressmakers are very secretive about how they do things (especially when it comes to airbrushing), making trial and error the only way to learn. That being said, if you are interested in improving you need to be willing to be brave and try out things that have no promise of working. If you think things through before you do them, they usually work. It is also helpful if you have a skating friend who gets their dresses professionally made (and that you like the look of). If you ask them (nicely) to bring it with them to the rink, you can take a good look at them in inside and out to see how they are constructed/beaded etc. My sister (the skater in my family) had a friend who splurged for a Tania Bass dress that she let me take a look at.
Being able to study good examples of handmade dresses takes a lot of mystery out of the (often) mysterious world of making figure skating dresses. I think most skating designers started out as some skater's mom or relative that wanted to save money buy making their own, but ended up really enjoying it.
Thank you, C.M., for your excellent post! You've given me the courage to try dyeing silk for a skirt – the flowy effect looks stunning. I'm also asking for an airbrush for my birthday, I can tell you that!
Update: From reader Anonymous: The fabric that has worked very well for me is Glissenette. This is a sheer stretch fabric that doesn't roll at the edges when cut. It is easy to sew with and floats beautifully as the skater moves. It is available in limited colors so there is some matching difficulty. I order it from spandexhouse.com, spandexworld.com and Jone's fabric (more expensive, but bigger selection) There is a sheer nude color that I use over nude spandex for nude looking cut-out backs that still provide some warmth.
Update: From post author C.M.: Although this fabric does not contain any elastic fibers (making it a not suitable for bodice material), the fabric does have a little bit of stretch to it, which makes it a little more resilient. However, you still need to cut it slightly bigger and "gather" it around the bodice so the skater can still pull it on and off.
Update: From reader Anonymous: I airbrush with paint as dying on polyester is too much chemical manipulation for my liking, although I could do it if I was dedicated enough. [...] The secrets are in the products, dye vs paint. I've had great success with Jacquard products but they can be expensive.

Why are skatedress makers so secretive??? That makes me crazy!!! It's the same in this region too. I feel like I have been blessed with the ability to sew and I love to share techniques and tips whenever I can. The more people who sew the better come ice show time. My skatedress making is an open book, oh well I guess i'm not a typical skatedress maker LOL

Words can never express my gratitude for this information! I'm so excited to get started! Just waiting for the milliskin to show up and for Coach to "approve" the colors/design.
Mostly (in life) I've found other sewers to be very friendly and helpful. Then my daughter started skating, and I naturely offered to help in the costume room with the ice show. It was definitely a different culture...I'll still try to help, but this time I'll know not to expect any new "sewing BFFs" Besides, we've got Ice Mom!

Skating dresses is an interesting theme.Thanks site owner for useful information!

I sew for my own daughters who are relatively new skaters (taking pre-pre moves later this month). I find this sewing/dye topic fascinating. Why are you using silk, a non-stretch fabric, for these skirts when you could use the same lycra as the remainder of the dress or even a stretch mesh? Doesn't the silk tear away from the dress when the girls sit down? Can you provide links to pictures of dresses made in this manner? I am lucky to have a retail store nearby where I can select fabrics to make my girls' dresses.

Hi Beth,
I've just cut out and am hanging my first silk skirt, a layer of chiffon over a light satin silk (purchased as remnants) to test before i launch into my first dye attempt. Watch senior level skaters on TV and the fabric floats as they move. I've never been able to achieve this with strtch fabric, they always hang heavier. After cutting a "single circle" skirt, my daughter was able to pull the skirt over the skater butt, so I'm thinking I have enough give when I attach it to the pant and bodice. I'll keep you posted on lessons learned.
- February 4, 2010 at 3:58 PM
Alice just said what I was going to say.
Yes, Beth. You absolutely can use the same stretch fabric for the skirt and the bodice or another stretch fabric. Although there is nothing wrong with this (and a lot of people make their dresses this way), I find that you cannot achieve the same look. The silk chiffon has a very delicate appearance which looks nice at rest, but has a beautiful "ripple" effect when the skater is moving fast, similar to hanging a lightweight piece of fabric in the wind. You cannot achieve this effect with a stretchy fabric for some reason, although you can come kind of close by using a stretch mesh with a cut (not serged) edge. If you want to see pictures of this, just check out any dress that Sasha Cohen, Ashley Wagner, or Caroline Zhang wears in competition.
Although this fabric does not contain any elastic fibers (making it a not suitable for bodice material), the fabric does have a little bit of stretch to it, which makes it a little more resilient. However, you still need to cut it slightly bigger and "gather" it around the bodice so the skater can still pull it on and off.
Alice, good luck with the dyeing; be sure to report back how it all worked out!

I use polyester chiffon or georgette for skirts, mostly georgette because my supplier will colormatch to the spandex for the bodysuit. For the price point that I offer my customers, silk is just a bit too expensive, and it's delicate. My customers are low level test skaters and will wear their dress in practice, and once the competition is over, it's an everyday practice dress, so they have to last.
I airbrush with paint as dying on polyester is too much chemical manipulation for my liking, although I could do it if I was dedicated enough. I agree that other dressmakers are super secretive as to how they learned, and I have heard almost all of them talk about their trial and error. It's not so much the airbrush techniques, with the advent of youtube, there's lots to look at. The secrets are in the products, dye vs paint. I've had great success with Jacquard products but they can be expensive. I'm a paint airbrusher, but the other lady in the area that does "dip dye" is a dyer and uses silk for her skirts. I have ended up reattaching some of her skirts.
I learned to airbrush in art school a million years ago, so that was easy enough. It's been getting the right combinations of paint and fabric that has taken a lot of time.
There is another seamstress that paint airbrushes but her design skill is not good. There's no point painting a dress that fits badly or is not flattering.

I've made several skating dress and haven't used a silk skirt. I've always been afraid to because of the non-stretch fabric. I may try it in the future at some point.
The fabric that has worked very well for me is Glissenette. This is a sheer stretch fabric that doesn't roll at the edges when cut. It is easy to sew with and floats beautifully as the skater moves. It is available in limited colors so there is some matching difficulty. I order it from spandexhouse.com, spandexworld.com and Jone's fabric (more expensive, but bigger selection) There is a sheer nude color that I use over nude spandex for nude looking cut-out backs that still provide some warmth.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to dye spandex/glissenette? Are the jaquard dyes only for silk? If I could dye white spandex and white glissenette any color, I would be one happy skating dress seamstress!

If the fabrics are nylon based they should dye well. Ask your supplier for fiber content of the fabrics.

what to look for in the documentation

not uncommon to find mistakes in the
documentation of a case. In fact, in state

paperwork, I'd say, is probably wrong a third
of the time: transcription errors, incorrect
references to charging statutes. It was at a
time when everything was done by hand.

a young African man here on a student visa
who was charged with second offense of

And he said tome, "Nobody ever talked to me about that."Then he tells me that he declined theappointment of an attorney because hedidn't want to pay the $250 reimbursement.So I went over to the district court and pulledthe file, and I'm looking at it, and it wasactually a city case, city prosecution, ratherthan a state prosecution, and in the file, thereis a document that says, "Plea offer," and itsays, "Court will consider 7411 at sentencing."
I ordered the transcript of the sentencing

Flora Mare Cream Review #1
by Marina on 05.30.2017
"An 'allrounder' in its field? Sadly, not really for me."
I've been looking for a good complete skin care cream and that's how I came upon the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream. This cream has even been advertised on TV, so I thought to myself that I couldn't go wrong with it.
To my bitter disappointment the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream didn't really fulfill my expectations. And you can read all about this product in this review and also why I've come to that conclusion.
Why do we need different creams for our day and night skin care routine?
As we all know, once you hit 30, your typical skin care routine during the daytime should also be accompanied by a nighttime skin care routine.
So because of our skin's need for a different skin care product that also means that we have to use two specially made creams depending on the time of day:
- During the day our skin needs protection from any outer influences that could harm it. A few of these are for example wind and weather, UV-light, oxidative and physical strains.
- So the best solution for your daytime use is a moisture-regulating cream that protects your skin and also has a built-in SPF.
- In contrast to that your skin requires support for its natural regeneration during the night.
- So during the nighttime you should use a repairing and nourishing cream. Especially a cream with a higher dosage of ingredients which can be absorbed well during the night and also replenishes the skin's storage.
- Night creams are slightly more expensive than their daytime counterpart since they have this higher ingredient dosage and are also richer in consistency.
Because of all these reasons, it is always recommended to use a special and appropriate cream depending on the time of day. If these two are combined in a Day and Night Cream, it is actually not very suitable, unless the manufacturer has been intending something special with that.
Now we are taking a closer look at the Flora Mare concept.

What kind of concept is behind the skin care brand 'Flora Mare'?
A certain man named Axel Ruth has established the brand 'Flora Mare'. Mister Ruth is a presenter and beauty expert who worked together with researchers and scientists to create his cosmetic line.
The concept behind Flora Mare was to use extracts out of marine plants. These plant extracts are said to have very effective protective functions, since they have to survive wind and weather.
Which plants exactly are used is not mentioned – only that they grow on the Breton coast (which means the North-West of France).
To be quite frank, I really thought that plants which live in the sea don't get influenced by wind and weather but maybe it is completely different in Brittany. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway as long as the skin cream does what it should.
What does the manufacturer say about the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream?
When it comes to the description of the Flora Skin Care Cream, the manufacturer is giving a very confident statement:
- This cream is apparently suitable for any time of day.
- It contains an 'anti-ageing ingredient combination with the patented platinum-mare-complex and brown algae extract'.
- The platinum-mare ingredient complex has four different plant ingredients: sea mayweed, kalparianes (brown algae), oligophycocorail (flower algae extract), oligogelines (red algae extract) and the platinum peptides.
- According to the manufacturer the anti-ageing effect of this cream after constant use of it for 4 weeks is: 53.85% less wrinkles.
But that is only the ambitious theory and now we come to my experiences with the Day and Night Cream by Flora Mare.
My experiences with the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream
The advantages of this cream for me are:
- The container looks beautiful
- The Flora Mare cream's consistency is very light and also soft
- It gets absorbed into the skin pretty fast because of that
- There is no greasy shine, which is unwanted after the application
In contrast to that the Flora Mare cream's disadvantages from my point of view are these though:
- There is a very distinct fragrance which comes with this product. Fragrances are known to cause irritation.
- This cream isn't nourishing enough for the nighttime.
- The Flora Mare cream doesn't contain any daytime sun protection factor.
- My existing redness and impurities haven't really improved through the use of the cream. That also means that its moisturizing function didn't work for me as expected.
- Even after having used the Flora Mare Day and Night Cream for many weeks now, I cannot see any anti-ageing effects although the manufacturer made such a confident promise.
Flora Mare Cream: My Conclusion
- The Flora Mare Day and Night Cream wasn't really convincing in my opinion.
- Somehow this product is neither here nor there: It wasn't an effective day cream and not even a good night cream. In my opinion or rather from my experience it was sort of in between which is as bad as it sounds.
- Judging from the cost-benefit ratio, this cream is clearly losing, since it is quite expensive and doesn't really give me the desired effect.
- As I've only read positive reviews on the internet before I decided to purchase this cream, I was highly disappointed by it since it didn't meet my expectations.
- I do have to say that I will continue applying the product until it is used up and after that I am going to look for a good nourishing cream.
- I will keep looking for this allrounder cream concept which has both a Day and Night Cream integrated. An acquaintance recommended this universal cream to me which – sadly and in my honest opinion is just too expensive. Instead I will try out this skin care product by M.Asam soon.
- We shall see, maybe I will give you such a short review similar to this about my next cream and let you know about my experiences with it. But until then I wish you good luck with your skin care routine!

If you haven't read any of the Cazalet Chronicles then I suggest you remedy that right now. Here's a link to Waterstones where you can buy all five books. What are you waiting for? Go!
I was given a set of Elizabeths Jane Howard's five wonderful books by my mum for my 40th birthday. I had never heard of them before. But when I opened up the first in the series, The Light years, I was introduced to a world of enchanted childhoods and old fashioned, endless summers and I was hooked immediately. My only problem was trying not to read all of them at once.
The Light Years begins in 1937 at the family estate, Home Place, in the heart of the Sussex countryside. Three generations of the Cazalet family are home for a summer of lavish meals, picnics on the beach and long, lazy sunny days. But things aren't always so idealistic, there is a grittiness to this book which undercuts the occasional cosiness
Along with their extended family, their children and their servants, a fascinating drama of love affairs, sibling relationships and rivalries begins, against the backdrop of impending war and devastating loss, and stretches across five novels.
The books are told cleverly through the narrative point of view of over a dozen characters, so that the stories are brought to us in relatively short bursts. However if you think all those characters sharing the storyline would be complicated or confusing you'd be wrong, Howard's characterisation and clear story telling means that we know exactly who is who and what part of the story is developing. She's an incredibly clever and confident story teller.
If you are fascinated by social history and the intricacies of familial relationships, there is nothing you won't love about these books. And the great thing is if you devour The Light Years in a few days, like I did, you have another four books to read.

Kilmer, Driscoll To Vie For Wash. 6th District
Liz Jones
The ballot count so far shows Senator Derek Kilmer far in the lead, with 54 percent of the vote. The likely Republican challenger, Bill Driscoll, trails with 18 percent. It appears both candidates will now move on from this top–two primary to the November election.
Washington's 6th Congressional District spans the Olympic Peninsula. Democrat Norm Dicks has represented the area for 36 years. Now, he's retiring.
The only Democrat in the race to replace him is current state Senator Derek Kilmer. Kilmer says he's eager to build on Dicks' legacy in this working class area.
Kilmer: "People want leaders who understand the struggles of middle class families. They want someone who's going to fight every day to get people back to work. And they want Congress to get back to work, too."
Kilmer is also currently vice president of the Economic Development Board for Tacoma–Pierce County.
Bill Driscoll is one of five Republicans in this primary race. And early returns show he'll likely move on to the general election.
Driscoll is the great–great–grandson of lumber baron Frederick Weyerhauser. He has worked for the family company and also served in the Marine Corps. Driscoll says one of the big differences between him and Derek Kilmer is experience.
Driscoll: "Well, this is the first race I've ever run and so it's pretty exciting to do well. And I attribute that to getting a message out about non–politician running; trying to focus on a bipartisan message of balancing the budget, getting the economy going."
For this congressional run, Driscoll and Kilmer have each raised close to a million dollars. That's way more than the nearest challenger.
Driscoll has pumped more than a half–million dollars into his own campaign. Kilmer has not put in any of his own money.

All pesticides, fuels, feed, and chemicals must be kept in secure areas. Limit access points to fields, farmsteads, and key buildings. Most farmsteads (especially livestock operations) have multiple off-the-road access points where people can walk or drive right up to barns, sheds, milking parlors, feed bins, and other critical areas. Close off unnecessary or unused access points. Evaluate the possibility of using gates that can be equipped with remote controlled openers. Invest in security lighting. Protecting against "terrorists" will also protect against routine theft, vandalism, and trespassing.
Efforts must be taken to protect animal and plant systems from a range of biosecurity threats, including contamination from intentional and unintentional disease threat sources. Consult with a veterinarian on specific steps to take. Personal hygiene, wearing clean clothing, and sanitizing boots and other protective gear will help prevent spread of disease. Similarly, vehicle traffic should be limited to prevent spread of pathogens on truck tires. Limit visitors to animal operations, especially visitors who will have direct contact with animals. Make sure no contact occurs between livestock and visitors who have recently visited a country where certain animal diseases (such as foot-and-mouth disease) are endemic. Place new animals coming into a herd/flock in a "quarantine" facility and observe these animals and their health status for several days or until cleared by a qualified veterinarian.
Producers must contend with increasingly challenging labor issues. Unlike the "old days," one may no longer personally know each individual hired. Workers are a possible threat but they also are an important security asset. Make sure all employees are qualified to do their work. Ask for and check references from past employers. Many producers conduct background checks on workers and run their operation like any other vulnerable industry.
If you or anyone working for you observes anything strange or unexpected, notify proper authorities quickly. Unusual animal illness could indicate a foreign animal disease; contact your veterinarian at once. Strange crop disease observations should be reported to local Extension offices. If you find signs of tampering or suspect that someone has had access to bulk tanks, fertilizers, pesticides, feed and grain bins, or other sensitive areas, call your local law enforcement agency or 911. In most states, local authorities are networked directly to appropriate agencies involved in an agricultural incident response. If an incident has occurred, do not try to clean up the scene or take other actions except those immediately critical to life and health. A scene where tampering, theft, or other actions have occurred must be treated as a crime scene and investigated appropriately. Rapid response to an incident could save lives and dollars.
The farm press, radio, and many producer organizations have made biosecurity and other initiatives to protect agriculture a number one priority. Seek out the facts, hunt for new information, and look for specific actions you can take to protect your operation, your family, and your business. An attack on any sector of the agricultural economy will have dramatic ripple effects. As an example, if you produce pigs, a large-scale intentional or accidental outbreak of a soybean disease will affect your bottom line. If you are a dairy producer, and grocery store dairy products are targeted by terrorists, your markets and consumer confidence will be affected.
