Sand Blast City is a Mobian settlement located in the Great Desert. After Dr. Ivo Robotnik's successful takeover of Mobotropolis, Sand Blast City became another territory conquered and ruled by the despot. Following Robotnik's death at the hands of Sonic the Hedgehog, the city's non-roboticized citizens rallied together and overthrew the Sub-Boss and Robians, successfully retaking the city and restoring their freedom. However, in 3237, they would be at war once again, this time against a chapter of Dr. Eggman's Dark Egg Legion.
Fall and Liberation
Following Dr. Robotnik's military coup, Sand Blast City was among the areas of Mobius conquered, with many of its citizens being roboticized and sub-bosses being installed in the area to crush any attempts at resistance. Robotnik's efforts to quell all resistance failed when scattered groups evaded capture and remained hidden, barely surviving the perils of the desert and Robotnik's attacks. Despite this, the resistance groups were unable to liberate their city and were forced to remain in hiding. (StH: #62)
Following Robotnik's death at the hands of Sonic the Hedgehog, the resistance group, now calling themselves the Sand-Blasters and modeling themselves after the Knothole Freedom Fighters, were inspired to fight with renewed determination and managed to overthrow the sub-bosses, liberating their city. (StH: #62)
Robian Dilemma
Unfortunately, with the removal of the sub-bosses and Dr. Robotnik, the Robian population went out of control and began attacking everything. However, the Sand-Blaster's leader; Jack Rabbit, created the Dome Force Field to keep the Robians from overwhelming the city. (StH: #62, #63)
During Sonic and Tails's hunt for Ixis Naugus, their plane crashed in the desert near the city. Jack and his recovery team quickly joined up with them and, fighting their way through a group of Robians, reached the safety of Sand Blast. Once secure, Jack tried desperately to convince Sonic to stay in Sand Blast for the rest of his life as the city's defender against the Robians, whose repeated attacks on the shield were beginning to wear it down. Realizing Jack and his men would keep him there by whatever means necessary, Sonic destroyed the shield's generator (ironically located in a giant monument of himself), allowing Sonic and Tails to escape, abandoning the Sand-Blasters to fight the Robians, who overran the city. Solar Sonic later sped past the city during his efforts to save Knothole from destruction, though the city's condition at that time was unknown.(StH: #62, #63, #71)
Several months later, Jack sent out a distress call in an attempt to lure Sonic back to the city to enact vengeance, but instead Bunnie Rabbot, flying over the area investigating, was captured instead. During the conversation he had with Bunnie, Jack revealed that the Sand-Blasters had turned the tide of battle, having managed to capture and imprison the Robians and rebuild the Dome Shield. Realizing they planned to unleash the Robians on Sonic when he came looking for her, Bunnie escaped, defeating any Robians in her way, and left Sand Blast City, while Jack and the Sand-Blasters were once again left to fight off the Robian horde. (StH: #119)
Fighting the Legion
After the Robians found themselves deroboticized by unknown means, they tried to temporarily settle in the city before returning to their normal lives. However, they were met with distrust and abuse by the people of Sand Blast City, and so the former Robians went back to Dr. Eggman for cybernetic upgrades so as to defend themselves, becoming a new chapter of his growing Dark Egg Legion. This resulted in them being pitted against the Sand-Blasters once again, under the leadership of Grandmaster Beauregard Rabbot. By this time, the city's shield had again been restored and had the added defense of a series of E.M.P. Beacons designed by Avery and scattered around the perimeter to keep the DEL forces at bay. Wanting an edge against them, Jack sent out a call for help, and Sonic and Bunnie were sent out to assist them. Bunnie, unfortunately, got caught in one the EMP fields, lost control of her limbs and crashed on the other side of the desert, prompting Sonic to break into the city and confront the Sand-Blasters about what happened. After a short fight, he was subdued and held at gunpoint by Jack, who demanded to know why Sonic was back in his city. After some accusations and explanations about what had happened to Bunnie, Jack offered to help Sonic rescue Bunnie in exchange for helping him seize control of the Eggman Empire-controlled Oil Ocean Refinery, which Sonic accepted. (StH: #217)
Background Information
- When Sonic established his secret identity of "The Sneak," he claimed he was a recon agent of Sand Blast City. No one saw through the ruse, though it is possible that no one had had contact with Sand Blast City and thus had no evidence to prove him false. They also may have not argued with him because they saw him as help. (StH: #97)
- An unused post-issue #134 plot revealed by former writer Karl Bollers has Sand Blast city under Dr. Eggman's control, with Jack Rabbit as a Sub-Boss. Instead, the subsequently introduced Beauregard Rabbot ended up serving as a Grandmaster in the region at war with Sand Blast City.
- Sand Blast City seems to be located in present-day Las Vegas, Nevada.

What Mary Knew
"If we're going to ask Mary loud and emotional questions, we must listen to her answers. We must treat her like a person. When you do, I promise she will deliver, with greater power than we're ready for. She will answer loudly and emotionally. In all her raw and revolutionary power. She will give you permission to break out of your boxes, deny those who would belittle you, and put wild hope and trust in the God we strive to serve. And, after all, it's great practice for listening to women and treating them like people, too."

The American Journal of Managed Care August 2014
Potential Benefits of Increased Access to Doula Support During Childbirth
Women who report that they would like to have doula care are the same women who stand to benefit most from the known effects of continuous labor support.4,5 Black women (vs white women), women with public health insurance (Medicaid and other government-funded programs which primarily serve low-income women, vs private insurance), and women without health insurance (vs those with private insurance) have higher risks of adverse birth outcomes, but are often least able to afford doula care or access culturally competent care.20 Our findings show that these same groups of women are more likely to report desiring but not having access to doula care, with limited resources being a likely explanation (although this is not directly assessed). While the associations identified in this analysis cannot be interpreted causally, our findings indicated that women who reported wanting a doula but not having one experienced higher cesarean rates than women who did not report wanting doula care, and lower rates than women who had a doula. This suggests that the association between doula support and lower cesarean rates is unlikely due to selection bias (ie, the idea that women who choose to have doulas are those who would have had lower rates of cesarean anyway), which is consistent with findings from randomized controlled trials.4 Our study extends these findings to a broader, nationally representative population. However, more and better data are needed to replicate these findings in a community and policy context. Facilitating access to doula care through health insurance benefits or coverage policies may be an opportunity for research on this topic, by utilizing randomization or staggered starts in implementation.
Not surprisingly, a majority of certified doulas (89.4%) believed that doula care should be reimbursed through health insurance,15 but there are real barriers to a wide implementation of reimbursement to a new category of services, especially services that are provided in a medical context but not by a healthcare professional. The state of Oregon has addressed this challenge by adapting language about reimbursement for nontraditional health workers to include trained, certified doulas.22

Category: Helpless Heroines
Pinned down on a massage table, beauteous nude Ryan Ryans twisted feebly in her rope web as if she were a specimen in the clutches of a mad scientist! The hooded character who gagged Ryan with black tape wasn't motivated by scientific curiosity, however, merely the desire to intimidate a gorgeous woman. To accomplish this goal, he flourished a macabre skull above her rope-framed breasts, lowered it inches away from her wide eyes, then used it to playfully nibble on her bare toes! After he vanished, the skull remained on Ryan's stomach, its bony jaw clamped on a rope and symbolically dominating the enticing captive who writhed anxiously beneath it!
A naked heroine tied down on a bed, mouth stuffed and duct- taped by a yet another hooded villain -- raven-haired struggler Valentina Nappi knew she was in deep trouble! What Valentina couldn't foresee was that her bound ankles would be freed, only to be tied on either side of the bed. With her legs spread wide, Valentina's pussy became the resting place for a vibrating device that animated the spreadeagled nude's contortions to an entirely different level -- one that at least granted her a satisfactory conclusion!
What a shocking transformation for Veronica Kirei -- from playfully shooting nude selfies with her phone to squirming in bondage on her bed! Bound hand and foot by an intruder, gagged with duct-tape over medwrap, leggy Veronica exerted impressive energy rolling around on the bed and kicking up her bare feet. Instead of freeing herself, Veronica merely annoyed the unwanted guest, who treated her to a frog-tie; thighs roped to ankles, the tenacious beauty refused to submit but remained in thrall to the daunting restraint!
Wide-eyed student Summer Brooks trembled as the hooded collector dragged her to a tall wooden post and bound her wrists behind it! Already gagged with mouth-stuffing and shining black tape wrapped around her head, sweet little Summer twisted apprensively on her white-socked feet as coils of rope were tightened around her neat grey jacket! Once her ankles and knees were tied, Summer stood dazed against the post, the picture of subdued innocence in her plaid skirt, jacket and blouse -- innocence that was provocatively challenged when her uniform was breached to bare her perky breasts!
Daringly attired in a fishnet body-stocking, Charlotte Stokely was rope- bound, tape-gagged and put on display. Charlotte strained furiously against her bondage on the platform where she'd been isolated, first twisting on her hip, then lying back to kick up her legs before kneeling and gasping in desperation! Even after a hogtie ensured the glamorous blonde's domination, Charlotte resisted the hateful restraint by defiantly arching her bowed body!

Al Marakeb Boat Manufacturing Company launches model of unmanned boat to clean sea water
ABU DHABI — The UAE-based Al Marakeb Boat Manufacturing Company has launched a model of an unmanned boat used for cleaning sea water, which uses a "MAP Pro" device as its auto-guidance system.
Nour Al Sayed, Head of Operations at the Al Marakeb Boat Manufacturing Company, said that the technology to produce unmanned and self-guided boats has become a reality and is available to everyone. With the growing number of projects to develop unmanned vehicles and vessels for land, air or sea use, the company will focus on developing maritime technology in this area in the UAE, she added.
The boat features a wire basket that allows it to dredge waste from the water, to be stored in another basket located in the middle of the boat. The waste can be then be unloaded at the end of its shift. The boat's dual-structure design also provides complete stability at sea while another feature allows it to clear waste in the shallow water.
The guidance system of the cleaning boat is controlled by a MAP Pro device that can identify its location and speed and can control the boat from a monitoring station on the beach.

If you didn't have the luxury of building your home from scratch, this doesn't mean there's nothing that can be done to improve its quality. Remodeling contractors with great construction knowledge can assist you with upgrading the various materials used interior and exterior of your home. The key is identifying which type of materials are best for the job. You'll quickly learn that there are certain materials that last much longer than the next. So if you're searching for something that's ever-lasting, then the following options are a must.
Consider Old School Masonry
If you're building an addition to your property, such as a guest house, pool house or even a garage, you should consider implementing masonry. This is an old school method that has proven for centuries its ability to withstand the test of time. Masonry involves the use of brick or stone siding. This gives the structure a more solid state, which means a higher chance of it surviving strong storms and other adversities like fires and floods. It's a good idea to consider masonry when you hire general contractors for the construction of a new home.
Don't Overlook Tile
Tile has and likely always will be a part of modern home designs. Home owners that are having home remodeling done oftentimes implement tile into their décor. Tile can be made from concrete, clay and a host of other materials. The most durable options would be engineered quartz or ceramic. These options are long-lasting and easy on the pocket. You'll just need to maintain the grout, which can become stained and dirty over time. Newly installed countertops of quartz and natural stone have become the latest trend, adding a luxurious look to the kitchen or bathroom.
Hardwood Materials Are Still In
There are various areas of the home where remodeling contractors can install hardwood. You can choose to have it installed as flooring or you can use it for your kitchen cabinets. When it comes to longevity, hardwood really gives you a run for your money. You can save money by purchasing reclaimed or recycled wood. Or you can go with eco-friendly options, such as bamboo. Expect to pay more to have the reclaimed wood polished and refinished to look amazing. There are remodeling contractors that can perform this work for you.
Install a Metallic Roof
Traditionally, homes are built with roofs made of wood, vinyl and other types of materials. You would normally find metal roofs installed on commercial properties, but this concept is becoming a thing of the past. More and more homeowners are choosing metal roofing materials for their property. Why? For one, they are known to last for a very long time. There are countless old barns and structures with metal roofs that have survived for over a century. In the past, homeowners avoided them like the plague because they were known for being noisy during rain and didn't have much insulation. Of course, with modern technology, metal roofs have improved tenfold with sufficient insulation and no noise. Plus, you can find more appealing options.
Go with Copper Gutters
The gutters are one of the most overlooked areas of the home. Keeping these in tip top condition is essential, since they're needed to keep your home property from sustaining damage during rain. It's responsible for sending away excess water, so your roof doesn't have leaks. If you're going to have new Vancouver gutter installer in your home, consider going with those made from copper. The reason these are a better option is because it is more durable compared to other materials, such as wood, aluminum and vinyl. They may not look that appealing, but when it comes to functionality, they're top of the line.
Plumbing Upgrades
In most renovations new installations are planned around existing plumbing, but sometimes it becomes necessary to install new pipes. That's when you will need to hire a sub-contractor. If you are using a general contractor they will handle it for you, but if you are handling the trades yourself then you'll need to look at a few plumbers Vancouver for the water works. Take your time and find a company you can trust. Most contractors are happy to recommend someone they know and trust.

Canada Markets
Statistics Canada 2017 Seeding Intentions
Statistics Canada released its first look at the 2017/18 crop year with the Principal field crop areas, 2017 report released Friday. This report is based on producer surveys conducted between March 16 and 31, while this early report covers between 96% and 98% of the expected Canadian acreage, with data from smaller producing provinces omitted in this report.
At first look, this report suggests producers intend to seed a big crop, with summerfallow acres expected to fall to a record low of 1.765 million acres. A quick look at the total acres reported, including summerfallow acres, shows 2017 acres being 1.9 million acres higher than the 99.5 million acres seeded to all crops reported in 2016, which begs the question where this acreage came from?
Today's data resulted in a surprise when it comes to data reported for wheat. Producers plan to seed a total of 23.182 million acres, slightly higher than the top of the range reported by Commodity News Service in pre-report estimates and just .1% below the acreage planted in 2016. It's also just 1.2% below Canada's 10-year average for all-wheat acres.
Breaking this number down further, durum acres took the big hit, with acres expected to fall 16.9% to 5.145 million acres, the lower-end of the range of pre-report estimates. This reduction was widely expected, given the fusarium challenges faced in 2016 due to the wet growing season faced and the expected large carryout of low-quality stocks. Saskatchewan producers are expected to trim their durum acres by 18.8%, while Alberta producers are expected to reduce acres by 8.5%. It's interesting to note that United States producers are also expected to cut durum acres by 17% in 2017, the same number forecast for Canada overall.
Producers are bucking the trend when it comes to spring wheat acres, which are expected to increase by 8.2% from 2016 to 16.664 million acres. A year-over-year drop of 8.1% in Manitoba is offset by a 9.1% increase in Saskatchewan and a 16.1% increase in Alberta. This increase in spring wheat acres is consistent with early estimates from AAFC, which have reported a more modest 3.3% increase, with acres increasing with a shift away from durum and pulse crops. The weaker Canadian dollar gives the Canadian producer a different view of wheat returns than his U.S. counterpart.
Oilseeds may have stolen the show in this report, with record acres for both canola and soybeans expected. Canola acres are expected to increase by 9.9% to a record 22.4 million acres, the upper-end of the range of pre-report estimates. Manitoba producers are expected to trim their acreage by 1.7%, while Saskatchewan producers are expected to increase acres by 10.6% and Alberta producers by 14.6%. This outlook is perhaps consistent with the signals from the new-crop Nov/Jan futures spread, which has weakened $.90/mt this week. The November future has printed a bearish outside-day reversal bar in early trade, although can only be confirmed with Friday's close. Flax acres are also expected to jump 19.3% to 1.115 million acres, although remain 10% below the 10-year average.
Today's report also shows producers' growing enthusiasm for soybeans, with all producing provinces expected to increase production. Overall, a 27.2% increase in expected acres is reported, which includes an 11.4% increase in acres in Ontario to 3 million acres and a 34.6% increase in Manitoba to an expected 2.2 million acres. While the smallest producing province, Saskatchewan acres are expected to increase a whopping 204% to 730,000 acres. With close to 3 million acres expected in the west, this will certainly increase the call for crush capacity to be added in Western Canada. Quebec is expected to increase acres by 15.4% to 926,600 acres.
Corn acres are expected to increase by 12.8% to 3.75 million acres, also a record. Ontario producers are expected to increase acres by 9.6% to 2.22 million acres, a four-year high, while Quebec farmers are expected to increase acres by 9.7% to 976,100 acres, also a four-year high. Manitoba producers are expected to increase acres planted by 37.7% to a record 475,000 acres.
Estimates for Ontario will require a further look, with the province's winter wheat remaining acres down 120,000 acres from last year, while the year-over-year increase in soybeans is 310,000 acres and is 195,000 acres for corn, which does not add up at first glance.
Pulse acres on the Prairies are expected to drop sharply, with lentil acres down 25.2% from the record acreage planted in 2016 to 4.385 million acres, but are still the second highest acres ever planted. 2016 was a challenging year for lentil growers, while concern lingers over a trade dispute with India along with that country's expected record production, which could have a drastic impact on Canadian exports in the year ahead. Dry pea acres are expected to drop 5.9% to 3.989 million acres, also the second highest acreage planted to-date.
Oat buyers will breathe a sigh of relief with an expected 20.6% increase in oat acres to 3.419 million acres, an eight-year high and near the upper-end of pre-report trade expectations. This acreage is only slightly lower than the 10-year average. Solid returns for milling quality oats remain a driver for the continued interest in this crop.
Feed buyers, on the other hand, will grow increasingly nervous given an expected 8% drop in barley acres to 5.88 million acres, just slightly lower than the 2014 acreage and the lowest on record. Carryover of feed quality grain from 2016 will help supply needs in 2017/18.
In mid-morning trade, November MGEX spring wheat is down 1 1/4 cents, December oats are 2 1/4 cents lower and November canola is down $1.10/mt, having pared earlier losses.

Thank you for the engaging and eye-opening article, "Final Four for the 4-Foot Set" (July 22, 2013).
As the article explains, today's youth athletic culture promotes year-round training in a single sport. Unfortunately excessive practice and play, often beginning at a young age and continuing into adulthood, is causing an epidemic of overuse injuries.
Orthopaedic surgeons see it every day: injuries to the tendons, bones and joints due to the repetitive motion of the arms, legs and shoulders. For children, these injuries cause pain and lost play time from the sports that they love. More alarming are the potential impact these injuries have on child growth and long-term musculoskeletal health.
Fortunately, more than half of all sports injuries in children are preventable. In 2010, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) in cooperation with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons launched the STOP (Sports Trauma and Overuse Prevention) Sports Injuries Campaign. The goal of the program is to curb the number of youth injuries from overuse and trauma in all sports through proper training, equipment safety, and the early detection of injuries and overuse.
Kids are becoming more serious about sports at a younger age, and as a result, their injuries are more frequent and serious. However, a cooperative effort by players, parents, coaches and health care providers to promote safe play practices can ensure that children are able to reap the benefits of regular exercise and competitive sports today and for a lifetime.

A flight to San Francisco from DC will cost you a decent amount of cash, but it'll grant you a few extra hours of life. If only Ponce de León were alive today, I'm sure he'd be a frequent flyer.
Some good friends of mine living in the bay area had been, flatteringly, asking me to visit for some time, and when I was asked for the umpteenth time during a particularly awful day at the office, I bought a ticket without hesitation and made plans to celebrate the Fourth of July in California.
In retrospect, my trip was already written in the stars: I wasn't looking forward to a 4th in Trump's DC and the influx of particularly ill-informed and rabid constituents that the day would attract – their heads hidden under a bobbing sea of red trucker caps with white letters, swarming over the mall and the museums and the streets and tearing up as they stood in front of the White House while, at the same time, the President daydreamed about moving back to New York. The weather was a consistently miserable eighty-five with humidity in the seventies – they could have it – and I missed my friends and my spiritual home, San Francisco, one of my favorite cities in the world.
I stayed the night of June 30th near Dulles to avoid an early and lengthy commute from the city and found that my height fascinated the natives; when I ordered some room service for dinner – a chicken sandwich and a Corona – the young waiter's jaw dropped as his eyes glanced up and then away again in regular intervals of polite curiosity as I hurriedly signed the bill. I thought about throwing a french fry into his mouth, but then thought better of it and instead defaulted to the typical gratuity.
My flight the next morning had been upgraded to First Class through the good graces (and miles) of a friend, and so I was spared the typical ritual of attempting to will other taller or bigger people away from my seat as the plane began to fill. While it's bad enough having to fold yourself into living Origami on a five hour flight, it's much worse when you're stuck next to one – or God forbid – two other practicing artists. The flight was blissfully uneventful and uncommonly more comfortable than I was used to, although I did go overboard, metaphorically, with the free orange juice.
I disembarked at about 8 AM local time and texted my friend Tyler for pickup.
The Pigeon has landed, I wrote. I repeat: the Pigeon has landed.
Sweet. Leaving now, he wrote back.
As I waited for on the curb, I pressed myself against the wall to avoid a quick moving flood of Chinese tourists, led by a stern looking guide holding a brightly colored umbrella aloft like I imagine Arthur would Excalibur. I caught brief snippets of animated Mandarin, which meant little to me, but it excited me as I envisioned exploring San Fran's sprawling China Town – a welcome change from DC's version, which in reality is a couple of square blocks of chain-restaurants with traditional Chinese characters sprinkled on the signage.
After twenty or so minutes, a dusty light-green Prius pulled up to the curb and honked once in the diminutive way only that car can. Tyler jumped out, beaming, "Well, well, well" he said "the giant finally decided to visit." We hugged briefly and probably high-fived once or twice before I threw my bags in the backseat and joined him in the front. "You can move that seat back, you know" he told me with a smirk as he saw my knees nearly pressing into the dash. As I struggled with the seat, which wouldn't budge, Tyler and I chatted animatedly as he zipped in and out of traffic and into the city proper.
Sunlight occasionally pierced the cloud cover as the hills began to roll in earnest. Small houses stood clustered here and there along the lower hills not far from the freeway, and more than an occasional mansion dotted the peaks in the distance. The morning fog had lifted earlier, Tyler said, and his neighborhood was sunny. "At least that's how I left it."
Our conversation continued as we exchanged freeway for side-street and the Prius groaned against the inclines. My head threatened to hit the roof as we bounded over street car tracks and wound around the narrow neighborhood streets of anycolor Americana Victorian buildings jutting up and out at angles that seemed surreal compared to the flat and orderly architecture of DC. I felt as if the buildings were sprouted from seeds that slipped through a hole in the burlap sack of some long forgotten behemoth, first sinking deep into rich soil and then flowering into a vibrant urban garden.
We drove further still, around the Eastern Edge of Golden Gate Park, its greenery on full display – "not a drought year for the first time in a while," Tyler explained – and found our way into a quiet neighborhood of row houses illuminated by the sun over a clear, blue sky. The Prius slowed and pulled to the side of the road, its deathly silent electric motor taking over as we lost speed until we came to a full stop. We exited the car, he only slightly more gracefully than I, and a cool breeze blew down the street toward me, carrying with it the distant sound of traffic and music and laughter from the park. "It's good to have you back here, man" Tyler said. "It's great to be back" I replied. And truly, it was.

My friend (and the wonderful artist) Sara Angelucci has a question for you lovers of children's books. Please read about her newest project below and get in touch with your memories of "a book you always carry with you." I'd love to hear your comments here as well!
I am looking for children's books suggestions (from YOUR CHILDHOOD) for an upcoming project I am preparing for the Koffler Gallery in the fall of 2013 entitled We're in the Library. As one of the participating artists I have been asked to create a work in response to the idea of the school library.
For my project, I'm interested in knowing which books from childhood (approximately age 6-14) have been IMPORTANT ones and had a long-lasting impact into your adult life. In essence, a book you always carry with you deep inside.
Perhaps by way of example, I will share my story. When I was 14 I entered the school library and the librarian said, "oh my goodness Sara, you look so much like Anne Frank." As a Catholic girl raised in a small town, I was unfamiliar with Anne Frank's story. And my response was "who is Anne Frank?" She immediately took Anne Frank's Diary off the shelf and said, "you should read this." So I did, and of course, the impact was profound. Not only did I look like Anne Frank, I was her age when she started writing the diary. And, I shared many of Anne's feelings as a young burgeoning adolescent woman. Of course, her life circumstances were beyond my comprehension, and to discover Anne's ultimate end was devastating. Her story changed me. Perhaps it was the real shift from childhood to adulthood.
If you should care to, I would love to hear about your most important book. I will not be able to use all of the books suggested to me, I'm searching for a short-list of ten. But if you would like to share your story, please get in touch at the above website by MAY 27, 2013.
Many thanks
Sara Angelucci

symlink and mount does not work in XP
Calathia 14 Jul 2009 08:50
OK I have ll my stuff on folder "stuff" where all my files are. I made user "user" with private share "share" an gave him to permission to read access to my "stuff" folder. then I tried both symlink and mount to mount some of "stuff" folders to "share" folder. symlink does not work on FTP and XP folder map. Mount works on FTP but not in XP folder map. Since mount work in SSH, and tunneling is done with SSH, why files are not showed in XP? do I need some samba configuration????
What I want to DO:
Create list of users which have SSH access to folder test. They will not use FTP, instead they will tunnel thru SSH and map directly my folder "share" in their XP.
Can someone help me what is the problem here.

Adrian Lamo snitches on "Collateral Murder" video leaker8 June 2010 by Mike Gogulski
Posted in crime | 31 Comments »
Convicted ex-hacker and now government informant Adrian Lamo has ratted on the US Army intelligence analyst who claims to have provided WikiLeaks with the "Collateral Murder" video (which shows US Imperium soldiers in Baghdad wantonly slaughtering innocent people).
According to Wired, via cryptogon.com:
[SPC Bradley] Manning came to the attention of the FBI and Army investigators after he contacted former hacker Adrian Lamo late last month over instant messenger and e-mail. Lamo had just been the subject of a Wired.com article. Very quickly in his exchange with the ex-hacker, Manning claimed to be the Wikileaks video leaker.
"If you had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months, what would you do?" Manning asked.
From the chat logs provided by Lamo, and examined by Wired.com, it appears Manning sensed a kindred spirit in the ex-hacker. He discussed personal issues that got him into trouble with his superiors and left him socially isolated, and said he had been demoted and was headed for an early discharge from the Army.
When Manning told Lamo that he leaked a quarter-million classified embassy cables, Lamo contacted the Army, and then met with Army CID investigators and the FBI at a Starbucks near his house in Carmichael, California, where he passed the agents a copy of the chat logs. At their second meeting with Lamo on May 27, FBI agents from the Oakland Field Office told the hacker that Manning had been arrested the day before in Iraq by Army CID investigators.
You utter bastard, Lamo!
But it gets worse:
Lamo has contributed funds to Wikileaks in the past, and says he agonized over the decision to expose Manning — he says he's frequently contacted by hackers who want to talk about their adventures, and he's never considered reporting anyone before. The supposed diplomatic cable leak, however, made him believe Manning's actions were genuinely dangerous to U.S. national security.
"I wouldn't have done this if lives weren't in danger[…]"
Lives most emphatically are in danger every day in Iraq. And in Afghanistan. And in Yemen and Somalia and all of the 75 countries where President "Change!" Obama has either deployed or opted to continue the deployment of US Special Forces — that is, the American Imperium's elite death&destruction squads.
But Mr. Lamo is worried about "US national security", meaning the ability of the American Imperium to continue tax-harvesting its free-range chattel submittizens, legalizing massive privilege to favored members of the American and global ruling classes, carrying out wanton, unlimited bloodletting overseas and generally making life a living hell for millions upon millions of people, all without challenge.
I am not one to praise soldiers, but Bradley Manning did one of the most admirable things he could do as a volunteer member of the gang of evil thugs calling itself the "United States Army" by leaking the video and the other information. Maybe we'll find out what his reasons were, some day when he's out of whatever dark hole the US Imperium's "justice" system throws him into, but he did say some things in his chats with Lamo which interest me:
"Hillary Clinton, and several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack when they wake up one morning, and find an entire repository of classified foreign policy is available, in searchable format, to the public," Manning wrote.
"Everywhere there's a U.S. post, there's a diplomatic scandal that will be revealed," Manning wrote. "It's open diplomacy. World-wide anarchy in CSV format. It's Climategate with a global scope, and breathtaking depth. It's beautiful, and horrifying."
Somehow, Adrian Lamo doesn't think this is a good thing, and feels so strongly about it that he's quite okay with Bradley Manning being kidnapped and caged with real criminals, possibly for a very long time.
Adrian Lamo, go die in a hole. Alone. Screaming. And take your "national security" with you.

August 27, 2014 — The Marquette University community gathered to remember alumnus and slain journalist James Foley at a vigil yesterday at the Church of the Gesu in Milwaukee. Foley, a 1996 graduate, was working as a war correspondent when he was kidnapped in Syria in November 2012 and then killed by Islamic State militants last week.
Political and religious leaders around the world expressed their shock and heartbreak over Foley's murder, including President Barack Obama and Pope Francis, who personally called the Foley family to console them. John Foley, James' father, said on the "Today" show that "we felt very comforted and supported" that the pope offered his personal prayer.

Tuesday's vigil began with Marquette President Michael Lovell telling the crowd of more than 300 people that Foley "embodied social justice," and that he was "extremely proud" to see how Foley represented the school.
Foley, who had been kidnapped previously in Libya in 2011, was described as living his faith through his work. After his time in captivity in Libya, Foley expressed in a letter to the Marquette community the power and strength he drew not only from his own prayer, but also from the prayers of his family and friends.
"If nothing else, prayer was the glue that enabled my freedom, an inner freedom first and later the miracle of being released during a war in which the regime had no real incentive to free us. It didn't make sense, but faith did," Foley wrote.
The university community will remember Foley's life through the James Foley Scholarship Fund and through prayer. Jesuit Father Frederick Zagone, chaplain of the Marquette University Alumni Association, wrote, "Our prayers continue now that James' life has been so tragically taken. We pray not only for James, but for the causes he fought so hard to bring forward in the world's awareness. We pray for others held captive. We pray for peace in our world."

Prayer for James Foley by Fr. Zagone
Saints of God, come to his aid!
Hasten to meet him angels of the Lord!
Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace.

A while ago I came across a free BOM from Bunny Hill Designs. I've never done a BOM, so this is something I'm looking forward to. I bought two layer cakes; "Beach House" from Blackbird Design and "Aviary" from Three Sisters - both by Moda Fabrics. The background fabric (not so visible here) is Lakehouse Champagne Frosted Dot. If you look good enough I think you can see the dots?
...and more stash! These fabrics are for the log cabin blocks I'm working on. I finally got the yellow and orange swirls fabric for the stars! :) The blue fabrics were on sale, so I'm not feeling that guilty about the purchase. :)
I haven't done any sewing since I completed the tablecloth and quilt for the hammock, except the two bookmarks for NNC Bookmark Exchange. I can't post the photo yet, not before my secret partner has received the bookmarks. What I can say is that I'm quite content with the result! :)

Yesterday was a big day in the world of parenting. Owen has been being bullied a little bit at camp by some kid. His counselor says that this kid is constantly antagonizing Owen and some other kids. Of course my first question is "is it both ways?". I felt bad asking this but if you know Owen you know he is not innocent in any way. I am pretty fair in believing it takes two. Well she said Owen really doesn't ever do anything to deserve this kid doing what he does.
According to Owen this kids punches him and makes fun of him. So yesterday when they were playing dodge ball and Owen had the ball, the kid punched Owen and took it from him. Well Owen walked up to him and punched him back.
Normally we have a "HANDS OFF" policy. There is never any hitting or punching allowed. In this situation Brian and I feel that Owen had the right to defend himself. Never once did we say it was OK to hit this boy. I simply told him that we do not hit EVER. I am in no way mad at Owen for what he did. To be honest this kid had it coming.
My nephew Evan was with me when the counselor was telling me what happened. He was apparently listening very intently. Later, when we were on the beach having an ice cream he says "Who is this boy, is he five? I will beat him up if he messes with Owen!!!"
Again, I don't condone hitting or punching but how cute is that. He wants to defend his cousin. I just thanked him and said it would not be necessary. We don't need to beat anyone up.
So Brian and I feel we made the right choice in not punishing Owen for what he did. I feel like it will not be the last time he gets into it with someone. Owen is not an aggressive kid and although he has a mouth he is not a trouble maker. He just wants to have fun all the time (which can and will get him in trouble).
So I wonder what other parents tell their children. I will always want Owen to defend hiself. Some of the kids at camp and at school are pretty tough and come from not so good homes. I just want him to be nice to everyone but stand up for himself. I know, it seems like I want it all! I kind of do (hehehe).

Photo Effects: Posterize
This is one of my favourite photos - an old door on the Greek Island of Hydra. There are no cars on the island, and from the port, donkeys will help get your luggage up the steep climing steps of the old town. Lovely views wherever you look.
I really like the look of the posterizing effects versus the original - looks almost pen and ink with watercolour and reminds me of old books from childhood. Looks even better in a larger size.

Split the wind.
Measuring in at 78mm deep, the 78/TwentyFour Clincher Wheelset from Profile Design is destined for aerodynamic greatness and high performance. While most companies stake their wheel on wind tunnel testing, Profile Design wanted to go a step further. With their CFD-engineered rim profiles, the engineers behind Profile Design went through hundreds of shapes in their search for excellence, and the result is a wheel that provides distinct advantages through crosswinds or headwinds.
Forged from 6061-T6 aluminum and precision machined with a tolerance of a 100th of a millimeter, the TwentyFour series hubs from Profile Design increase durability, strength, and stiffness. A machined 7001-T6 aluminum freehub creates an 18% increase in strength compared to standard freehub bodies, preventing cassettes from marring the freehub while simultaneously increasing shift performance and power transfer.
FREE Cassette Installation - Order a cassette along with a wheelset and we can install the cassette for free. Cassette installation requires special tools that not all our customers have. The cassette will be professionally installed and torqued to spec. Just add "Please install cassette" to your order notes at checkout and we'll take care of you.

May 26, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
18th February 2015
The energy minister has said he would "not flinch" from breaking up the big six energy firms if an investigation into lack competition in the sector concludes it is necessary.
Dual-fuel customers have missed savings of up to £234 per year by not switching energy suppliers, initial findings from a competition inquiry reveal.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has published an update on its ongoing investigation into the energy market, which reveals that from 2012 to 2014, more than 95% of dual-fuel customers of the big firms would have saved money by switching tariffs or suppliers, according to the BBC.
The savings missed ranged from £158 to £234 a year per customer.
The investigation by the CMA launched last July following a referral from Ofgem over the dominance of the big six energy firms.
SSE, Scottish Power, Centrica, RWE Npower, E.On and EDF Energy account for about 92% of the UK's energy supply market and critics have accused the companies of using their might to raise prices quickly in response to increasing wholesale costs , but lower them too slowly when costs go down.
Energy Minister Ed Davey told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: "If the evidence from the CMA is strong that the next step ought to be breaking up a company, if the Competition Markets Authority recommend that, certainly I as a Liberal Democrat, talking to the voters in the next election, will make it clear, we would not flinch from taking that tough action."
The CMA findings have also highlighted poor service by the big six, as the number of complaints recorded against them rose fivefold between 2007 to 2013.
The report says: "We note that increasing numbers of complaints may reflect: declining quality of service; price rises; changes in reporting standards; increasing media scrutiny of the sector; or a combination of these factors," says the report.
The CMA also notes that millions of customers were inherited by the big suppliers following the privatisation of the energy industry in the 1990s. The report describes them as "less educated, less well-off, more likely to describe themselves as struggling financially, less likely to own their own home, less likely to have internet access, more likely to be disabled or a single parent".
These "sticky" customers rarely consider switching and are missing out on big savings Between 40% and 50% of customers have been with a supplier for over a decade. For one supplier the figure is 70%.
The CMA is also considering whether or not profits in the sector are at an appropriate level
It has looked at the issue of energy firms owning both the power generation and supply side of business and has concluding there are no major issues here, nor that wholesale pricing is opaque.

Bugs on English Ivy
English ivy (Hedera helix) is a perennial vine notable for its lush, three-lobed leaves. A native of Europe, the plant is commonly grown as an outdoor climbing vine for garden structures, topiary and as an indoor ornamental. Like other garden plants, English ivy is susceptible to a host of harmful bug infestations.
Black vine weevils, mites, mealy bugs, ivy aphids and scale are all known to feed on English ivy, according to Fine Gardening. Black vine weevils appear as either half-black, armored beetles or as soft, white larvae. The larvae of the black vine weevil penetrates into the soil and feeds on the roots of the plant. Mites and aphids, tiny and difficult to spot, often feed on new foliage. Mealybugs are oval bugs that have a cottonlike appearance when grouped together on the plant. Scale resembles a bumpy brown or white skin.
Symptoms of a pest infection range, depending on the bug. Wilted, yellowing leaves that drop prematurely may be the result of a black vine weevil attack. Black, powdery mold (often referred to as "black sooty mold") is often the result of aphids, which suck up moisture to the foliage and leave it fester. Indoor plants that have a series of tiny, yellow dots may be infested with mites. Mites may also leave thin white webs on the plant.
Other Causes
Some fungal or bacteria diseases may superficially resemble a bug infestation. Bacterial leaf spot causes a stippling of discolored dots on the plant's leaves, as does powdery mildew, according to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, or CAES. Check for insects or larvae first before treating a plant with insecticide. An ivy plant that's wilting or dropping leaves may be damaged from a harsh winter frost or you simply may not be watering the vine enough during summer droughts.
Insecticidal root drenches are an effective way to battle many outdoor ivy bugs. A commercial insecticide is mixed with water as per instructions and left to seep into the soil where ivy is growing. Always follow the instructions exactly and use the required dosage, CAES warns. House plants afflicted with mites or mealybugs can be taken outdoors and washed with a direct stream of water. You may wish to remove heavily infected leaves. Take extra care when applying insecticide to indoor plants and always do so in a well ventilated area.
The best defense against bug infestations is to have a healthy plant. Plants that are sickly or stressed are more likely to attract bugs than healthy plants. Mites are less likely to attack house plants when the ivy is in a humid environment, CAES says. You can increase humidity by placing a tray of shallow water and rocks until the plant container. The rocks will hold the plant above the water while the water steams and rises to provide additional humidity to the ivy.

U.S. Bishops On Homelessness
Essay by 24 • October 30, 2010 • 3,762 Words (16 Pages) • 956 Views
Essay Preview: U.S. Bishops On Homelessness
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Prosterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
-Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America
The above preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America holds admirable ideals in setting forth principles for the founding of this newly formed government. In form and content, the Constitution presents itself as one of the most consequential documents ever created for the establishment of a nation. The progenitors of this document, while espousing broad principles in theory, propagated, managed and sustained a clearly separate and less inclusive reality. There existed, and still exists, several dichotomized layers within these "United" States - one Black, one White, one rich, one poor. Slavery, in all of its brutishness existed, while at the same time equality for "all citizens" was being proclaimed. Women, indeed, were treated as second-class citizens, but to a much lesser degree than were Blacks and Native Americans, who were considered lesser forms of life. While it is not my intention to recount the entire history of the United States, it is my intention, with brevity, to review some policies of this nation, since its inception and up to the present time. America has a well-documented history of injustices towards those who are less fortunate and in an effort maintain the status quo, there are continual efforts to erode the basic human rights of those who are deemed the "scourge" of society. Today, those most fitting this description, include the burgeoning homelessness population
throughout the cities of America. While the preamble states the establishment of justice as a standard for the formation of the Union, the question remains, and strong evidence exists, as to
whether or not justice has truly been achieved for all citizens. This paper will explore the issue of justice, in theory and in deed, as a founding principle of the United States, in its application of policies concerning homelessness as compared and contrasted with the theory of justice as conveyed in the book Economic Justice for All: Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy (Economic Justice for All).
In the book, Economic Justice for All, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops attempts to offer a "personal invitation to Catholics to use the resources of our faith, the strength of our economy, and the opportunities of our democracy to shape a society that better protects the dignity and basic rights of our sisters and brothers." According to its authors, this document was in no way intended to offer a resolution between the various economic schools of thought, nor was it to be used as an outlet for embracing a particular economic theory as might be suggestive by the title of the publication. The letter uses scriptural references as a guide to determine how economics should play a role in our lives. It is believed by the authors that there are six moral principles, which should provide a moral vision of economic life.
Those principles are as follows:
(1) Every economic decision and institution must be judged in light of whether it protects or undermines the dignity of the human person.
(2) Human dignity can be realized and protected only in community.
(3) All people have a right to participate in the economic life of society.
(4) All members of society have a special obligation to the poor and vulnerable.
(5) Human rights are the minimum conditions for life in community.
(6) Society as a whole, acting through public and private institutions, has the moral responsibility to enhance human dignity and protect human rights.
By setting forth these principles, the Bishops had hoped to increase right action along with the application of Catholic moral principles in an effort to improve the economic status of the all people, but particularly the poorest among us. Throughout the book, the authors list specific ways that they believe that the United States and its citizens could address the needs of the poor in our country as well as to evaluate the impact that economic policies have on the life and stability of family. Although the publication seeks to address those who have embraced Catholicism, it also seeks the cooperation and support of those who support other faiths and traditions based on the "common bond of humanity."
The Church believes that man, by nature, is a sacred being and should be "respected with a reverence that is religious." Man was made in the image and likeness of God. Catholics embrace the belief that human life and human spirit is most fulfilled by having knowledge of,
and loving, the living God while in a spiritual union or communion with others. Using biblical quotes, the book addresses the central point of what justice truly means and arrived at the following definition: "Justice of a community is measured by its treatment of the powerless in society." Throughout the writing scriptural references are made as to the fair treatment and dealing with orphans, widows, the stranger, etc., as these groups were used as litmus tests to determine the quality of justice. The poor are looked upon as being most able to receive God's word with the purity of heart, mind and soul.
Justice has, in a biblical sense, many meanings and is more comprehensive than justice described philosophically. Justice, for the most part, "arises from loving gratitude for the saving acts of God and manifests itself in wholehearted love of God and neighbor." Catholic social teaching describes three basic categories of justice and they are as follows:
(1) Commutative justice - calls for fundamental fairness in all agreements and exchanges between individuals or private social groups.
(2) Distributive justice -

Oklahoma Hospital HAZWOPER
for First Receivers
Version 10.0
The Oklahoma State Department of Health and Oklahoma State University College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (CEAT) Professional Development Department Present:
2020 HAZWOPER for First Receivers Certification/Recertification Course
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) now requires a consistent certification/recertification training program for all Health Care Facilities (HCF) in Oklahoma that are participating in the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR)grant. This program emphasizes adherence to the January 2005 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) release of the "Best Practices for Hospital-Based First Receivers of Victims from Mass Casualty Incidents Involving the Release of Hazardous Substances". Please note that in order for the state to incur the costs of your facility's training, the training included in this program must be completed by the end of this ASPR fiscal year, June 30, 2020.
Oklahoma State University (OSU) CEAT Professional Development Department has produced a course in conjunction with the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) titled "HAZWOPER for First Receivers Certification/2020 Recertification Course." This course meets and/or exceeds the requirements and guidelines of OSHA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This program is a state-wide recognized program. If a participant leaves the employment of one facility within the state for employment with another facility, the participant's certification qualifications will be maintained. The current employer is then responsible for training on conditions unique to their facility.
Under this contract CEAT Professional Development agrees to meet the applicable portion of FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act: 34 CFR Section 99). Necessary recordkeeping regarding FERPA is included in this training. In order to meet the Federal Privacy requirements, all participants must complete a training records release form to give CEAT Professional Development permission to release their exam scores to OSDH and the employer. The form (page 1 of the exam), containing an original signature, must be submitted to CEAT Professional Development with the participant's completed exam to get full credit for the training.
It remains the employer (HCF) responsibility that employee qualifications meet OSHA medical requirements under both HAZWOPER 29 CFR 1910.120 and Respiratory Protection 29 CFR 1910.134 (included on the enclosed HCF CD), and to keep accurate employee medical and training records

Well it's been a busy year to say the least and I have finally got a little bit of time off to recharge the batteries.
I've had some ups and downs over the year, made some new friends and realised others are not quite as nice as they try to appear but in the whole scheme of things, I have nothing to complain about.
I make a New Year resolution every year to update my blog more regularly and every year I fail....but....I will be doing more crafting in 2012 so with that will be more blog posts.....maybe I might just manage to keep the blogging more frequent next year.
I used to love wrapping presents and would spend hours doing it but, as time is off the essence these days, I no longer manage to spend the time I did. I made an exception for mum though and I'm looking forward to spending some time with her on Boxing Day.....here is her basket of presents that I'm taking up there, all wrapped in Vintage style.....just like mum hee hee!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and I wish you all the best for 2012 xxxx

Waiting for Santa -- for Crafty Sentiments Designs
Please, check them all out. It all began yesterday. One of today's new releases is "Josh - to Santa". He is adorable, don't you think?
I colored "Josh -to Santa" with Copic markers, and cut the image out with a Spellbinders die, then cut a matching backing paper with another larger, matching die. Then, I mounted them both on a gift bag, tying a variety of Christmas ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the bag handles.
The "Josh -to Santa" rubber stamp is delightful, and a joy to color! It will be available in the Crafty Sentiments Designs store after Sept. 23.
I'll be back on Sunday with another new Christmas release. They are all so adorable!

A group of local women is doing what it can by sending packages of supplies to American troops stationed abroad.
The Blue Star Mothers, an organization of mothers whose children are serving in the military, is behind the effort. And we�re proud to say that a large local contingent has been helping admirably.
The mothers got together last weekend at First Baptist Church of Houma in Gray to put together the packages of donated items.
We know that these proud and compassionate women were happy to do their part to keep our troops well supplied and a bit more comfortable.
And we�re sure their packages will be received with open arms when they arrive in Iraq for the soldiers.
These moms deserve a lot of credit. They haven�t just let their sons go off to war to do the business of protecting their nation. They also are on the homefront helping to make things better from here.
The Terrebonne Parish Junior Deputy Club is full of some straight shooters. And safe, too.
The club�s members recently represented the area well at the state Youth Hunter Education Challenge, barely missing out on a chance to repeat as state champions.
But they will be in even more-impressive company when they compete at the National Rifle Association�s national event from Monday through Friday in Raton, N.M.
The event will test their skills at eight outdoors events, such as navigation, shooting and wildlife knowledge.
The participants are 10 to 18 years old and are very well prepared.
We wish them the best of luck, not that they�ll need it.
If you happen to be watching "The Bill Engvall Show" on TBS and think you are seeing a familiar face, you probably are.
Engvall, one of the stars of the wildly popular Blue Collar Comedy tour, will be sharing the screen with Graham Patrick Martin of Thibodaux.
Martin, 15, got a callback for the part on his first day in Hollywood. He soon had a screen test and was offered the job. He immediately accepted.
The show, a family sitcom featuring Martin as Engvall�s son, debuted Tuesday.
We are happy, but certainly not surprised to see that we have such great acting talent here in our area. Well, actually, Martin is in California enjoying his new success.
But we still claim him as one of ours.
Former Thibodaux High School football player Myron Wright has for years dealt with issues no one his age should face.
On Nov. 9, 2002, Wright was involved in a two-point conversion play against H.L. Bourgeois.
A reserve wide receiver, he was just 15 years old when he suffered an injury that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down.
Like the champion he is, though, Wright has never accepted that he won�t walk again, and he has never lost faith.
He is still hoping to get back use of his legs by taking part in Project Walk, a unique program in Burbank, Calif.
To that end, he is raising money and doing all he can to give himself the best chance possible.
That�s an attitude we should all try to emulate.
