9News investigative reporter Deborah Sherman's relationship with Children's Hospital ER doc Louis Hampers started on a swinger's website and ended in court, where Sherman won a restraining order against him.
Hampers' increasingly creepy behavior toward Sherman is at the center of a civil lawsuit between the two.
Sherman is suing Hampers for defamation and emotional distress, among other things. In a lawsuit filed on June 28, Sherman alleges that Hampers began threatening and harassing her by e-mail and voicemail after she broke a second date with him in January.
An example of the creepiness can be found in an e-mail from Hampers to Sherman after they agreed that neither would spill the beans about the other being on a swinger's website:
Why don't I just stop e-mailing you? Why am I being such a 'creep' (your term)? Didn't I promise to leave you with peace of mind? What's my goal? Aren't I reneging on our proposition? No, actually, and I might even suggest a way out for you (if you were smart enough to ask respectfully). But in the meantime, let's just say, you messed with the wrong guy.
Sherman also accuses Hampers of contacting 9News and telling lies about her to her supervisor, including that she makes frequent trips to the Denver swinger's club, the Scarlet Ranch, "for promiscuous hetero and bisexual activity."
Furthermore, Sherman accuses Hampers of having his lawyer contact other media outlets in town "for the purpose of damaging her reputation."
On July 19, Hampers responded. In a court document filed by his lawyer, Hampers denies that he threatened Sherman or told her in a voicemail that she'd be facing a "shit storm" if she didn't call him and explain what he thought were calls from 9News to his ex-girlfriend.
He also denies lying about Sherman to her boss. While he admits that his previous lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, contacted investigative reporters at Channel 4, Channel 7 and the Denver Post to "publicize private facts" about Sherman in order to get her fired, he denies that Steinberg contacted Westword.

Hampers's new lawyer, Jeffrey Springer (who works with Steinberg at the aptly-named firm of Springer and Steinberg), argues that several of Sherman's claims won't stand up in court. Among them: the claim that Hampers invaded her privacy.
From Hampers' motion to dismiss:
Somewhat ironically, plaintiff, a television investigative reporter, is claiming... that her privacy was invaded because defendant allegedly disclosed unspecified facts to her employer, KUSA 9News in Denver.
Among the unspecified facts in question, Springer guesses, is that Sherman had filled out a profile on LifestyleLounge.com, an erotic website aimed at swingers. That's where she met Hampers. More from the motion:
Even if the allegedly damaging alleged disclosure was made to plaintiff's employer, plaintiff's employer and, in fact, the public who implicitly trusts plaintiff as an investigative reporter, had a right to know that her own activities and interests run afoul of the implied morality of her position as an investigative reporter.
This is all the more apparent when it was plaintiff who broke the Edward Nottingham story concerning his adult club visits and adult services payments -- very similar and possibly related subject matter as that which plaintiff accuses defendant of allegedly disclosing.
Whew! How many times can a lawyer type "alleged?"
Nottingham, of course, is, the federal judge who was forced to resign in 2008 after his penchant for strippers and prostitutes was made public. Hampers and his lawyers have repeatedly painted Sherman, a brief member of LifestyleLounge.com, as a hypocrite for her reporting on the scandal. In response, Sherman has pointed out that what Nottingham did was potentially illegal. What she did was not.
Last week, Sherman's lawyer, Tom Overton, filed a response to Hampers' motion to dismiss. In it, he quarrels with the assertion that blabbing to the media about the case isn't an invasion or privacy.
From the response:
While Mr. Hampers asserts that the damaging disclosures he made about Ms. (Sherman) were not "public disclosures" it is hard to imagine a more public disclosure than contacting a newspaper which is known for publishing sensational stories about well-known people.

That is, of course, a reference to this very publication. Should we be flattered? Hurt?
No matter what, it's clear that this case is far from over. A spokeswoman for the Children's Hospital says Hampers is still on the leave of absence he started in April -- and still earning his $206,000-a-year salary.
Chris Lines, spokesman for the state Department of Regulatory Agencies, says that if a complaint has been made about Hampers -- and he can't say whether one has been -- the Board of Medical Examiners "should be taking it up in the near future."
What does Hampers have to say about all this? Thus far, he's refused to talk to Westword. But we put in a call to his lawyer, Springer, to see if he has any comment. We'll update the story in this space when and if we hear back.

Sneakersnstuff have made some of my favourite shoes, both Peter and Erik definitely have a great eye for creating great colourways and pairing them with excellent materials. You can check out my New Balance x Sneakersnstuff history here if you wish to brush up on their collaborations.
The New Balance 577SNS1 x Sneakersnstuff dropped in 2005, and was meant to resemble the Swedish Flag, but as you can see, the blue is just a little off…. Anyway, there was a second take to get the colour right, a pair that I'm still trying to track down!
I've had this pair for a couple of years now, but have never gotten around to wearing them for some reason, until last night.

Step 1: Requirements
Determining your "wish list" is essential. It is really important to know what you are looking for; the area you would like to live in, the number of bedrooms you need and what you are prepared to spend. Having this clear from the start is a very important first step.
Step 2: Finances
Having finance in place before you start your search puts you in the best possible position to make an offer as soon as you find your perfect property and ensures that everything runs smoothly through to completion.
Step 3: Selection & Viewings
We will help you select the best properties and draw up a shortlist of those you wish to view. Don't be afraid to ask us as many questions as you would like during the viewing – we understand that this is an important decision.
Step 4: Offer & Agreement
Once you have found the property of your dreams, it is time to make an offer. Once a price has been agreed you will be asked to sign an agreement outlining the terms of sale, including completion dates. A deposit is payable at this point to secure the property.
Step 5: Lawyer & Surveyor
You must establish legal representation. Your lawyer will check the legal status of the property. It is advisable to give your lawyer power of attorney to arrange all the paperwork and sign the final contract. The lawyer will also be able to recommend a surveyor.
Step 6 : Bank account & Greek Tax No
You must open a Bank account in Greece and apply for a Greek tax number (your lawyer can do this on your behalf if given power of attorney). All monies sent into Greece must be sent via your Greek bank account for tax purposes later on.
Step 7: Completion (Final Contract)
The process usually takes between 4 & 6 weeks once the deposit has been paid. Closing costs should be paid approximately 2 weeks prior to completion. Your Lawyer can sign the final contract if you are unable to return to Greece to take possession of the property.
Step 8: After Sales
You must file a tax year declaration in your first year of ownership. An accountant will take care of this for you. It is also advisable to get in contact with a property management company that will look after your house while you are away.

Kanye West's Yeezus Tour & Album: Satanic Evangelism
Kanye West talking with Fake Jesus! Blasphemous!!!
Kanye West's new music tour "Yeezus" is causing shock waves through the world. It's filled with blasphemous statements and images against Jesus Christ. Just recently West was in Seattle, Washington where he kicked off his concert tour. There, he continued his blasphemous acts by bringing a mock Jesus on stage. West sees this mock Jesus and comments: "White Jesus, is that you? O sh--t!" The fake Jesus goes on to say that he wants people to see the light in Kanye as if West is some light of the world(source). During the concert in Seattle, Kanye's adoring worshipers chanted "Yeezus.!" With that being said, had West insulted Islam and Muhammad, his head on a platter would have been called for. So what is the real agenda behind West's constant blasphemous acts? Is it Satanic in nature?
Yeezus' Album Download Cover and Satanic Symbolism
Inverted (Upside Down) Cross is a Satanic Symbol
The picture above is the Yeezus Album cover. On it, we can see a upside down cross and three women with red eyes as if they're demon possessed. One of the women even has a serpent tongue. The Roman Catholic tradition states that the upside down cross comes from the Apostle Peter being crucified upside down(source).
However, the inverted/upside down cross symbol is satanic in nature. It is actually a symbol in Satanism for blasphemy, mockery, and the rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior(source). It is also very common of people in Satanism and black magic to perform rituals on an inverted cross, by which they spit upon, urinate, defecated, and masturbated upon it(source).
Famous occultist Aleister Crowley once baptized a frog as Christ, and then crucified it on an inverted cross to mock the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In addition, the founder of The Church of Satan Anton LaVey used an inverted cross in his rituals to defame Christianity(source).
The preceding information should give you a clear understanding of the the mindset of Kanye West. He's driven by demons, and his in-your-face blasphemy of Christianity and Jesus Christ shows his hatred of it. West is a dark spirited, sinister evil individual, not just by his music lyrics alone, but through the symbolism of his music videos and album covers. They exude Satanism. He has really taken his work for Satan to another level with his Yeezus album and concert tour. Even Rolling Stone Magazine stated that that Yeezus is one of West's darkest, most extreme albums.
No Kanye Your Not God! Song i'am a god
West, in June of this year at a New York City listening party of his album "Yeezus," stated the following:
"West was my slave name, Yeezus is my god name!"
So is Yeezus a new god that has come on to the scene now? One of the songs on the Yeezus Album is called "I am a God." In an interview with "W Magazine" published on June 19, 2013, West makes some astonishing claims:
"I made that song, because I'm a god (source/source)!"
"Now, I just do exactly what I want, whenever I want, how f***. F*** you is my message (source/source)."

A nice dinner with conversation
Being open and honest and lots of fun
A visit to the exhibition of paintings by the Impressionist or ....paintings of the 19th or 20 century
Open to ideas. Coffee and chat. Nice meal dinner date. Visit to the countryside and NT property. Wander round the National Gallery. The world is our oyster! Perhaps not that far!!
museum tour and coffee afterwards .
Go out to an observatory when they have visiting hours, preferably on a night when something might be happening.
My ideal first date would be meeting up at a place of interest, perhaps a gallery or a museum and then on for a bite to eat in a cafe overlooking a river.
Just casual and spontaneous, good conversation, no drama.

When Philip Browne got to work the other day, he made a startling discovery.
Some-thing was missing from the foyer of his restaurant.
Some-thing that meant a lot.
�I had to look twice,� Browne said, �before I realized that our Small Business of the Year award was gone.�
�Where�d our plaque go?� Browne remembers exclaiming, bewildering general manager Ryan Allen.
Awarded to the restaurant in 2006 by the Waxahachie Chamber of Commerce, the plaque was enshrined on a table in the enclosed entryway at Chick-fil-A, along with other recognitions the franchise has won during its time in Waxahachie.
�I don�t really know why somebody would take it,� said Browne, the business owner and operator. �It�s not like it has a lot of resale value at a pawn shop.�
However, while the monetary value of the award is small, its sentimental value to the company is significant.
�It means a lot to us,� Browne said, calling it a �source of pride and motivation for the leaders and employees of Chick-fil-A.�
Seeking to get the plaque back, Browne has contacted the police to file a report on the stolen honor. While the authorities have been notified, Browne also has decided to take matters into his own hands, offering a sweet reward (pun intended) for its return.
�Whoever brings it back will be treated to a Chick-fil-A specialty,� Allen said. �We won�t ask questions, but we will provide that person with free milkshakes for a year.�
Additionally, other rewards in the form of Chick-fil-A goodies are being offered for information leading to the return of the award or the identification of those responsible for the theft.
If anyone has information about the stolen award, contact Browne or Allen at the Waxahachie Chick-fil-A, (972) 937-1504.

Mothers or Others? Why Choose? How Maternity Leave Policy Crushes Women's Leadership Parity
Jamera Lee Massop was an administrative assistant in New York when she became pregnant. She didn't think being pregnant would or should impact her job. However, with no reason other than "your contract says we can terminate you at any time for any reason," Jamera's company fired her when she was six months pregnant. Jamera felt sure that the company didn't want the expense of hiring someone to fill in for her when she was on maternity leave. She knew that if she filed a lawsuit against her company she might win, but she felt she could not take the time or money to fight it at this time in her life. After all, she had no job and therefore no steady income. After her baby was born, with nowhere else to go, Jamera entered the New York City shelter system and had to rely on public welfare programs until she could get back on her feet.
Jamera's story is just one example of how the lack of a viable maternity/parental leave policy harms both individuals and the economy by wasting human capital.
While Jamera was in an entry level position, the reality is that the percentage of women who were terminated shortly before or after their first pregnancy was at 4.7 percent between 2006 and 2008. That means that approximately 158,000 women were let go due to pregnancy during those years. 21.9 percent of these high potential women in leadership positions or on leadership tracks dropped out when they had children because they couldn't see a way to fulfill their responsibilities as mothers as well as employees, given the dismal state of leave policies in the U.S.
Let's face it: the structure of most organizations was designed by and for men who had women at home doing the domestic work.
Today women with paying jobs outside of the home make up half the work force. Many companies and organizations have happily welcomed women. However, our society as a whole has failed to adapt the workplace so that women's unique needs and those of the changing family structure can be met.
Being inclusive doesn't end with simply being welcoming.
Leading inclusive conversations requires a new "language."

Young children bring a particular dynamic to a family in which two parents work regular jobs. Children require attention and care, especially in their first few months and years. If this is a nation that cares about the wellbeing of its next generation, maternity or better yet parental leave policy must be a matter of public concern.
If you think such leave policies are unrealistic, check this out: According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), 169 countries out of the worlds rough 196 guarantee some amount of paid parental leave to employees. For example, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Albania, and Croatia are among the 31 countries whose government run insurance programs provide a year or more of 100% paid, job-guaranteed, maternity or parental leave.
Along with Papua New Guinea, Swaziland, and Liberia, the United States is one of the few countries in the world whose government does not mandate any amount of paid maternity leave.
In 1993 the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) which guarantees 12 weeks of job-guaranteed unpaid leave only to employees at companies with more than 50 employees became U.S. law. Some states have passed their own more expansive requirements under the FMLA. Of course, leave policy can be expanded further within the private sector if the organizations so choose. But in 2011 only 21% of companies that are members of the Society for Human Resources Management offered family leave above the minimum required federal FMLA leave.
The United States makes much ado of defining itself as a forward thinking nation. Yet it is absurd the way our public policy and work places treat parents, and by association, their children. If the United States believes in family values and cares about its children, it must change how the work force supports new mothers and fathers too.
Providing job-guaranteed paid leave would be far more cost effective than losing employees that companies have already invested time and training into. Companies need women's talents, and a company that enables families to take care of their children will find themselves with much more loyal employees. We need not choose between mothers and others.
Women and men who agree with the value of these policy changes can't afford to wait until they need parental leave to influence their companies or organizations. We have the assets to create smarter, healthier policies that will shift the work place to be a more family friendly space for the good of all. We must take the lead, and we can do this together.
You can start by taking a look at the New York City Equal Pay Coalition's petition to end pregnancy discrimination and secure stronger laws for women's equality. And then send us your thoughts on other initiatives that you support or think we all should.

Drawing on an integrated understanding of family systems theoretical framework, attachment theory and culturally specific "traditional wisdom," we can generally acknowledge that, even before birth, an infant's presence in the world becomes a powerful change agent for that infant's caregiving system; setting in motion an ongoing series of increasingly complex adjustments and adaptations for all family members and their relationships with each other. We also commonly acknowledge that all infants and toddlers need nurturing relationships to grow and thrive, and that those essential nurturing relationships are best provided by a small core of people, i.e., a family. Ideally, the family system weathers the changes and establishes areas of new adaptations, thus restoring a sense of equilibrium. However, for vulnerable families who are already struggling with personal and social challenges, the impact of this 'normal' phenomenon on both infant and caregivers can become overwhelming and worrisome. In the face of such challenges and the complexities of the professional system/program responses that may be deemed necessary for the safety and well being of the infant, the actual caregiving and relationship needs of the infant are, paradoxically, at risk for being overlooked.
This interactive training will explore the complex challenges of keeping infant/toddlers' developing needs in clear and ever-present focus as, across systems and program goals, the helping professional seeks to provide empathic support and effective intervention to very vulnerable families while honoring the importance of relationship histories, cultural perspectives, and the multiple needs of those babies, their birth and/or foster families. Using case vignettes, scripted 'voices' of infants and toddlers as well as videotaped interactions between infants, toddlers and their parents, we will explore how early relationship experiences impact long-term social/emotional development, depending on the emotional availability and readiness for interaction of those with whom they are in relationship. Specifically, we will ask ourselves what we can learn by listening to infants/toddlers at different stages development, and we will consider together how our listening can provide guidance for carrying out individual professional responsibilities, and support for promoting cross-system collaboration. The reflective support needs of professionals working with and advocating for vulnerable infants/toddlers and their families will be considered, especially in the context of how our own relationship experiences influence what each of us brings to our work.

I'm writing this post after a super long beach day (as in, it's 11 pm and we just got home) and I want to write it while everything's still fresh in my mind. Today marks the second day we've taken our kiddo out to the beach and I think I have it mastered now. There are a lot of things you need for yourself and your little one to have a successful day on the water!
First- yourself. Last time I took my baby out with friends on the beach, my husband couldn't make it so I was by myself with friends and didn't really pay too much mind to myself- just focusing on Jocelyn. As a result I got a pretty bad sunburn on my back. So here's the skinny on what you need for YOU:
Facial sunscreen: I have been absolutely loving Kate Somerville Daily Deflector Waterlight Broad Spectrum 50+ PA+++ Anti-aging sunscreen. Ha! What a friggin' mouth full! Anyways, it's super light weight and I have never gotten burnt while wearing it. My friend and I both used it on our faces today, behind our ears, etc, and I'm freckle and sun damage free after an 8 hour day. I'll call that success!
Protective Lip products: I prefer EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm in Lemon Drop SPF 15. There are so many reasons why this is my go to. First, it's ultra cheap and if it gets lost when I'm on the river, I won't cry over a $3 lip balm. Second, it comes in a huge sphere, so I never lose it. Third, it's not glossy or colored so my husband can use it and we can just carry around one between the two of us. Fourth, I just love the way it smells and has a light taste. Fifth, it has SPF. Holla! Pretty much the best lip balm ever.
Body Sunscreen: I prefer to use a liquid sunscreen on myself rather than a spray on. Last summer, I used spray on and half of it sprayed off my body and to the wind. I didn't notice until I was burnt to a crisp. This year, I use several different sunscreens. Some of my favorites are JASON Pure Natural Sun Natural Sport Sunscreen SPF 45 and LAVANILA's the Healthy Sun Sunscreen for Body.
Body Spray: I pretty much hate the feeling of being all sandy and I need to take a little something to spritz on myself onto the water to not feel so dirty while I'm on the river. Bath and Body Works White Mango Chill is my go to this summer for summer fragrance that is easy, cheap, and delicious. Their summer collection is limited edition so swing by your BBW store and spritz some on! Their Coconut Water Chill is another great fragrance from there that is limited too. Once again- I don't have to worry about losing it in my beach bag because it's very inexpensive to replace but the scents are super yummy at the same time!
Water: You need a lot of this if you'll be outside all day, trust me!
And just because I can't stop thinking about it, I have to share an article I read the other day about sand ledges and how a woman almost lost her son when he was swallowed by sand at the beach. Truly frightening and now is one of my scariest fears. My other (irrational) fear is that I'll see a moose swimming through the water. Did you know they swim?! Don't ask…
I hope some of these tips have helped you! What is YOUR summer beach essential?

I have the problem below where my PCI card's second BAR does not get
What can be the cause of this problem?
The last kernel I tested on which worked OK was 2.6.27.
My current problematic kernel 2.6.35.

Could be resource exhaustion or, more likely, we ran out because we
now assign resource to things that don't need them, leaving none for
things that *do* need them. This sounds like a regression, so we
should open a bugzilla for it and attach dmesg logs from 2.6.27 and
Does this problem keep the driver from working? (Sometimes drivers
don't actually use all the BARs a device supports.)
I'm the maintainer of the driver and was involved in the development of

most important. The board worked fine since the 2.4 days and only

My knowledge is too little to actually determine if the problem is
the FPGA based PCI interface is not within spec or something that changed
the kernel, because of the post .30 releases becoming more strict to PCI
specification, i.e. BIOS / Kernel interaction.
Well, let's at least look at the working and broken dmesg logs. My
money is on kernel breakage. If it used to work, it should still
What do you need from me? I have at least 3 machines on which it used to

Since you don't have continuous access to the machines, maybe you can
collect the /proc/iomem and "lspci -v" output at the same time you
collect the dmesg logs. That should be enough to get started.

Top Online Casino
With as many online casinos on the internet as there are, it can be quite a decision to picking out the best one. Most of the time, it really isn't so much about what the online casino has to offer as it is what you are looking for. So, in order to determine the which top online casino is for you, it is important to decide beforehand what it is that you want. Are you looking for solid entertainment? Perhaps you just want to win big. Entertainment value in an online casino comes from a total experience. That experience should be made up of great graphics, fairness, great promotions and good customer service. If you just want to win big, then all you will want to concern yourself with is bonuses and payout percentages.
Finding the top online casino for you will take a little help. That is, unless you want to try out every online casino on your own to make the determination. However, help is out there because of online review sites of the top casinos online. Reading online casino reviews will help you to lower the numbers of casinos on your selection list. So, then it only takes a good eye in selecting the right top online casino review for you.
When deciding on the online casino review site that suits you best, make sure that they only review licensed online casinos with good reputations. Once that has been determined, you can then trust the review site in making good decisions. The information that you will want to take from these review sites is how good of a selection of online casino games does the casino have, are the graphics high or low quality and are the payout percentages high enough to be worth your time. Two very reliable review sites on the internet are linked here:
As you can see from the links above, the sites that are reviewed have some terrific welcome bonuses that are available to new members that signup. Bonuses are a really good way to find out more about your casino selection, because they give you the opportunity to play with more money than you actually deposit.

|The Old Paris French Porcelain Ring Box and Dish are some of my very favorite items. I paid $10.00 for the box at an estate sale. The Goat was a little more precious, but I had to have it.
|This little bisque nodder is so special. I just can not help but love it. Every time I pass it I have to pluck it with my finger and watch the chicken dance.
|This little Child's Cranberry Epergne is a rare and dear item.
|I have lots and lots of Victorian Domes but this one is my favorite. It is full of hand made crepe paper roses. I man brought this into my shop and wanted to sell it. I bought it and have loved,loved,loved it, ever since.
We all love the things we collect and decorate our homes with. Some people have antiques, while other have vintage or new. Many of us have family things, that we may or may not love,love,love!. But, we do cherish them and want them as part of our lives. I have very few family things and that makes me sad. When I go to estate sales and see people selling there family items, I can not understand it, and wonder why they would want to? Most of the antiques that I have bought for, My Old Historic House, are things that I love. collect and admire. Some are very expensive, while others ,cost hardy anything. I am sure, just like me, you all have favorite things around your house. To me,what make them a favorite, does not mean it has to cost a lot or be so rare. Some of my favorite items cost only a few dollars and are tiny and really kinda dumb.Most of my favorite things have stories attached, as to, where I found them, when I found them, some one gave it to me, or it just makes me smile. I have been in the antique business for about 4o years and I have had and sold many a thing. It is always fun to think back at some of the items I have owned and sold. Most of the time I have no problem with these items, but some times, I had a very special thing and after I sold it, I always long for it back, having regrets, that I ever sold it, in the first place.You might ask, why did you sell it then., There are many reasons, but, more often than not, I probably needed the money. Being self employed is not always all it is cracked up to be. Especially when there are bills to pay and no pay check. When I antique shop with many of my antique dealer friends, we often find ourselves saying, I had that and I was always was so sad after I sold it.
|My dear friend, Blossom, gave me this sweet little thing for my birthday many years ago. We were on a antique buying trip and I admired it and she got it for me. It has been a favorite every since. That was about 20 years ago. Thank you, Blossom.
No one knows why somethings become your favorite things. But, for some reason or other, they are. I find myself holding them, hugging them and going in and out of the room they are in, to see them.And when some one else mentions those items, I proudly say, "that is one of my favorite things"! I would be hard for me to pick just one favorite item. I have been asked that question a lot. But, I usually just say, I love them all. I have told my Nieces that is the house catches on fire, don't worry about me, get Sissy first and then the big Meissen figure group in the front hall. I put it right inside the front door on purpose. It is not necessarily one of my most favorite things, but, is one of the most expensive. If there was a fire, and I was there, I am sure I would be torn as to what to do. I know I would do any thing in my power, include risk my life, for Ms. Sissy. After that, I just can not answer.Heaven Forbid, I even think about such a thing,(Spit and take it back)
In today's Post, I have picked a few of my favorite things. Just like the song, from the Sound of Music, there is a mixtures of things, big and small, fancy and plain. I hope you enjoy my favorite things and come by for a visit. I love to get your comments and that is the main reason I blog. So take the time to write me a note and mention you're favorite things. Please come by any time for a real tour of, My Old Historic House. I will always leave the lights on for you and I would be more than thrilled to share my favorite things with you. And, oh yes, Sissy Dog will always meet you with a jump and a kiss. ENJOY!.
I just wanted to give a shout out to Dawn The Bohemian over at Bohemian Valhalla. I sent her a copy of Victorian Homes magazine. The June 2011 issue, which did a feature about, My Old Historic House. She was having trouble finding it where she lived, so I sent her one.As a thanks you, I got this wonderful package in the US Mail today. Dawn you are far to generous.You shouldn't have done all this. I love it. There was a beautiful Roseary, dog treats for Sissy, and a wonderful Victorian Glass Easter egg for my collection. OMG. I love it and was so surprised. Thanks you so much. Hey, everybody, go and visit Dawn's blog, I am sure you will love it.

The most important thing to know when cleaning a silk tie is that a silk tie is not meant to be cleaned! The material is simply not made to be cleaned in a machine or even at the dry cleaners! Also, if you really think about it, if you're wearing something as elegant as silk, chances are you will take all the necessary precautions to keep any part of your outfit clean :p
The best thing you can do to keep your tie clean is to avoid staining it at all costs. Although this may make you feel like you are trying to acrobat yourself through a wall of flesh-cutting laser beams, there's no need to worry too much. As we said before, silk ties are not meant to be cleaned, because they can't be cleaned. Luckily for you, there are a few things you can do to prevent your silk tie from staining or to salvage it should some accidental after-work-drinks-and-salsa drip onto your tie.
The most important thing to know when cleaning your silk tie is: NEVER USE WATER!!!
This cannot be stressed enough. Without getting into the science behind this, water is to silk what kryptonite is to Superman. When exposed to water, a silk tie may become misshapen or the material may get puckered. Chances are that if you have already used water to try to clean your tie, it may be time for a new one.
Time is of the essence.
This is the second most important thing to know. The longer you wait to remove a stain, the less chance you have of saving your tie from doom.
If you should get your tie dirty, the first thing you should do is to lightly dab the spot of the stain with a paper towel that has been dipped in stain remover. Although be careful not to use too much because stain remover may discolor the spot you are trying to clean. You are also most likely not Martha Stewart or Mr. Clean to be keeping such things within your immediate vicinity, so another good alternative is seltzer. They're sure to have that relatively near to wherever you are wearing your fancy tie!
Corn starch or talcum powder can be of great help to any greasy types of stains. Simply put a bit onto your tie and let it absorb as much of that greasy goodness as it can for a few hours, then with a soft brush, remove any residue. If the tie is still dirty, repeat the process.
These methods are not guaranteed, but if you are quick enough you may be able to save your tie. If not, take a look at here for some amazingly awesome ties.
Use rubbing alcohol.
Applying a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a silk tie stain may help clean your tie if you blow dry it immediately. Be careful not to keep the blow drier too close to the tie or the heat may ruin the fabric as well. It may take a few tries before you see any improvement in the condition of your tie.
Invest in a pre-treatment spray.
This is perhaps the best thing you can do for your tie and for yourself. Something like Scotchgard Apparel Protector, or any other fabric protectant may cost you a few bucks initially, but in the long run it can really be a life saver! These kinds of sprays are designed to be used on any article of clothing, prior to being used, and is meant to repel liquids and block stains. The great thing about these sprays is that they can also be applied to your shirts or suits, protecting them from any collateral damage.
Dry cleaning.
We still stand by our earlier statement that silk ties should not be dry cleaned, but if you were unable to save your tie using any of the above methods, your tie is as good as dead. So instead of throwing it out and dishing out a few more bucks, why not try dry cleaning it. As long as the dry cleaner uses very light chemicals and water vapor (not liquid water!) you may be able to save the tie in a last ditch attempt.
We hope these tips helped you out, and if they didn't click here to find a sexy and succulent silk tie to replace the void created.

Ensuring trust and security
Data underpins the future of healthcare. IOTA provides trust in that data.
Supporting the evolution of digital healthcare.
Data underpins the future of healthcare. IOTA provides trust in that data.
Data is a basic building block of healthcare. The digitisation of healthcare records has yielded big rewards in terms of information sharing, care coordination and research. The volume of healthcare data is increasing at an exponential rate, with more and more sources creating data, inside and outside healthcare institutions. Securing these records is a growing problem.
As we have moved to a digital healthcare system, we have sacrificed the relative security of single paper records for the convenience of freely copiable and alterable digital records. The IOTA Foundation believes that the next evolution of the digital medical record should bring back the integrity of data, with an immutable record that cannot be maliciously altered. This data will inform management decisions by clinicians, and form the basis of trustable decision support systems.
IOTA aims to enable greater data integrity within the health industry. By securely transmitting and storing individual medical records on the IOTA distributed ledger, access to private medical records can be trusted, secure and controlled. Because the IOTA protocol is free from transaction fees, this data integrity comes for free. Charging micro- or nano-transactional fees for trustworthy and immutable information in a medical context also becomes possible.
IOTA will enable the transition from an institution-centric model to a citizen-centric model of healthcare.
Healthcare data has traditionally been siloed in different institutions or even within a single institution. These silos prevent meaningful sharing and reuse of data, and limit the quality of care that can be delivered. To receive medical treatment, an individual may need to consult with multiple providers for a single incident. When individuals transition from primary care clinics to hospitals to specialists and back again, records are not shared seamlessly, reducing their continuity of care.
Siloed data can negatively affect clinical care
The IOTA protocol supports initiatives to free the data, using novel secure open-source messaging protocols and common healthcare interoperability standards. IOTA researchers are working towards a longer term vision - of decentralised and secure data stores, controlled by the patient, and following them through their journey. Instead of private data access being controlled by institutions, the individual can be given much more control over which of their discrete medical records can be shared.
Disruptive applications within the Health industry being developed with the IOTA Protocol as the backbone.
The IOTA Foundation is a non-profit organisation, established to drive development and adoption of the IOTA platform. All tools are provided for free and are open sourced. Below are examples of projects being developed with these tools.
Health sensors are becoming increasingly prevalent, both consumer grade and medical grade. Data from these sensors may provide greater insight into the patient's health state between clinic visits. This is particularly useful in chronic disease, where deterioration may be identified sooner, or in medical trials where response may be more granularly monitored. However securing and actioning these data streams remains problematic.
The IOTA masked authenticated messaging (MAM) protocol can help to secure these data streams over the Tangle, using modern healthcare interoperability standards. The IOTA ledger may also be used as a record of the security of devices, proving that they have been updated to the latest most secure internal software (firmware).
The IOTA MAM protocol may be leveraged for transfer of patient data between hospitals. MAM allows for encrypted streams of data that can carry either granular data about a patient or their entire health record. The inbuilt payment system also allows feeless charging for these streams of data, so that institutions can easily recoup the costs of data transfer.
The MAM streaming technology and core IOTA ledger can also be combined to form the basis of a distributed healthcare information exchange.
Clinical research is reliant on the integrity of data collection. The IOTA ledger can act as an immutable ledger to prove the integrity of research data. IOTA's scalability and feeless structure means that very granular continuous real world data can be recorded as it is produced, rather than on episodic case report forms. We expect that this approach will herald a new approach to the collection of real world evidence in trials.

SANTA FE, N.M. - Delegates at the National Farmers Union Convention elected Donn Teske, Kansas Farmers Union president, as the organization's vice president.
"I am so humbled by the faith and trust the delegates have shown by electing me vice president," said Teske. "I'll do my best to help NFU President Roger Johnson move the organization forward under the direction of the grassroots policy formed here today."
Teske was elected from a field of three candidates at the NFU's 112th convention. He replaces former Vice President Claudia Svarstad, who did not seek re-election.
Teske has served as Kansas Farmers Union president since 2000 and is a fifth generation farmer in northeast Kansas. The state organization will make no change of leadership at this time, according to KFU officials.

Between you and your bike.
When you have to leave your bike unattended, it helps to leave a little peace of mind behind. The Abus U-Mini 40 U-Lock earns its keep with a 14 mm (0.55 in) hardened-steel shackle and a premium anti-manipulation lock cylinder that double bolts it into the lock body. Its compact form factor makes it easy to to carry around while leaving as little room as possible for leverage-style attacks, and the casing is also made of hardened steel to thwart cutting or other tampering. Finishing it off is a soft-touch housing cover that's easy on your bike so you know you're leaving it in good hands.
Mfg PartNum: 523137
I had one of these, and it was great until one day it wouldn't unlock. The key turned all the way, but one of the teeth wouldn't retract, so I couldn't open it. I eventually had to have the police cut the lock for me. On the bright side, it took them 20 minutes to cut it with bolt cutters with three-foot-long handles, so it's strong. Whether it's a good buy depends on whether the lock mechanism failing like that is a common problem.

I've been thinking about making a book of watercolors.
So, I went looking through my old books.
Remembering, reminiscing.
This one is called Eating Flies.
It is an accordion style book, which I made in 2000.
Holly!!!!! It's amazing! Wooow! I think, if I could see it, I shall "faint". :)
OOh that's amazing! Awesome work!! :)
Hello Ojni! Hello Jessica! you are too kind! As soon as I can cut my paper and dust off my book press (bring it out of retirement) I'll try to make a new book!
Cool book! I love your artwork, very creative. :D

There's Already Horizon Zero Dawn Cosplay
On the one hand, it's normally weird when people cosplay as someone from a game that might suck. On the other…both Horizon Zero Dawn and its main character in particular look cool as hell
, so this is 100% understandable.

Poor Snoopy, unlike Hello Kitty, he just doesn't get nearly as much love when it comes to gadgets and accessories. While Ms. Kitty has managed to dominate everything from toaster ovens, to digital cameras and a slew of iPhone cases, this is perhaps Snoopy's first iPhone 4 case ever.
This Snoopy iPhone case, features Snoopy enjoying a walk on the moon while he is dressed in a space suit. The Snoopy iPhone 4 Jacket: Moonwalk retails for $32.99 at DreamKitty.

The weather was perfect on Sunday for a trip to a nearby field with the Weims. I was beating myself up for not bringing the real camera (Canon Powershot ELPH 300) because there were some great shots. Instead, I used my Samsung Galaxy S3 and was pleasantly surprised with the quality.

text: Digital "Twitter? I hardly Know Her!" – Courtship and/or Creepiness on Twitter By Andrew Hunt|December 14, 2010 Share By Andrew Hunt|December 14, 2010 Share Many relationships begin online these days. Major dating sites like E Harmony or Plenty of Fish attempt to find us a mate by matching our interests with the interests of another user. But can we use Twitter for the same reason? You bet your heart we can! We are passing this information on with two goals in mind: First, we will offer some tips for meeting people with similar interests, online – so that you can fall madly in love over Twitter. Second, once you know the tricks, you will know what to avoid if you are creeped out by the whole thing. We want you to keep in mind that there are weirdos out there who are completely capable of using the same methods for meeting people.But, on the positive side, how do you find the person of your dreams on Twitter? 1. Think of some of your unique interests. What obscure music do you like? What is your favorite city? What are your hobbies? What is your favorite sports team? Type these things into the search! You will find fellow Tweeters with similar interests. Let's say music is your passion; and you feel you could relate to people who have the same taste in tunes… Simply type in the name of you favorite music group. And any person who has mentioned that same band recently will pop up.Toss them a 'hello' or a ReTweet. 2. If you live in a big city, type the name of an event, that you plan to attend, in the search. Other Tweeters who will be in attendance may have also Tweeted that they will be there. If you were planning to attend an art show, you may find a person who recently Tweeted about the occasion. Why not send them a Tweet mentioning you will be in attendance? You might hit it off! Wink wink. Nudge nudge.3. If things go well, the two of you can start start following each other. Then you can take the conversation out of the public sphere; and start DMing. I think they call this, 'reaching third base' in the Twitter world. You never know… A romance could blossom from your common interests! And you can avoid the expenses & pressure that comes with online dating sites. Remember though, one person's chivalry is another person's creepiness. So, if your Tweets are public, be careful about what you post. I wonder if a romance that starts on Twitter can end just as easily on Twitter. A 140-character breakup would be so heartbreaking! Share http://adweek.it/2jGXPmb copy Adweek Adweek

I know I really haven't been cooking/baking the French Fridays With Dorie stuff, but I guess that is just me being a slacker. However, as soon as I saw that this week was vanilla eclairs I knew that I would be making these. 1) Because I love eclairs, and 2) My in-laws were coming over for a Crawfish Boil and they could help me eat them…little did I know.
Eclairs have three parts to them: Pastry Cream (Vanilla), Pate a Choux, and a glaze (Chocolate Ganache). Pastry Cream and Chocolate Ganache are pretty straight forward but when it comes to making and baking with Pate a Choux, that is when the problems sometimes arrive. I have noticed that with some recipe the baking time is a little too short for me because the eclairs aren't browned enough and then when you take them out they deflate. I have learned a few times, (Here), that you have to bake them just a little bit longer to dry them out to get the perfect eclair. With Dorie's recipe, I baked them an extra 5-7 minutes.
I ended up making mini eclairs, about 3 inches in length, the recipe made 24 of those and then I made 6 small cream puffs to use up the rest of the dough. Everyone really enjoyed the Vanilla Eclairs, but the problems was that for the Crawfish Boil I also made a Key Lime Pie. So in the end not very many of the eclairs got eaten and I have been randomly sneak eating a few each day. I think I justify it because they are small and very yummy…oh well 🙂
Go pick up Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table to get this wonderful recipe.

The Difference Engine
Web Development Apprenticeship
Our web development apprenticeship program exists to transform people's lives by empowering those who do not have the typical background for entering tech to launch new careers in that field. We provide professional technical solutions to nonprofit and mission-based organizations to help carry out their purpose.
We can build a range of products and features, including:
Our organization works with non-traditional entry level web developers not students and provides them with real life projects over a staggered 17 week program participation model. They work collaboratively within a team environment under the supervision and mentorship of experienced tech professionals. We offer our solutions PRO BONO to qualified nonprofit or social organizations.
First, we schedule a meeting with your organization's key stakeholders and our program director to get the initial details of your project and see if we're a good fit. The ideal client/project is brand new, open to any technical solution(s) our team can create and has an open time frame.
Once we're ready to go, we collaborate with you on breaking the project down into specific roles and detailed features. This is a critical first step into getting started on your project - client involvement is KEY. Then we get to work!
This is the crux of what we do. Using an iterative process, we breathe life into your product, creating the features that drive its functionality and turning idea into reality. Instead of waiting until the end to demonstrate the final product, we build it in stages, always looping you in to make sure we stay on the right track. Our apprentice developers make sure you're beyond satisfied before handing over your finalized, polished product.

Feed undesirable substances as food contaminants
Part 1: Mycotoxins
*Corresponding author
1. Agricultural University of Athens, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, 75 Iera Odos, GR-11855 Athens, Greece.
2. University of Western Greece, Department of Agro-Food Enterprises Management, 2 Seferi, GR-30100 Agrinio, Greece.
This work focuses on two outstanding undesirable substances of the Community legislation, namely mycotoxins and dioxins. As regards the former, the importance of mycotoxins in the context of food and feed safety is outlined, and the developments of legislation on this topic are given. In addition, some aspects of mycotoxin analysis as well as methods of mycotoxin prevention in the food chain, within the framework of traceability, are highlighted. Part 2 will be dealt with presence of dioxins in feeds and the problems of food contamination.
The significance of products of animal origin i.e. milk, meat, eggs, as human foods is obvious. In modern agricultural practices, the aim of maximizing profits by minimizing costs through the recycling of wastes tends to be widespread and it appears that contamination of agricultural products with undesirable substances is almost unavoidable. The topic of risk of food contamination with toxic substances present in animal feed has been recently reviewed (1), while an account on the transfer of chemicals from feed to animal products has been also given (2). Although people in first instance focus on safety of foods as these stand in super-market selves, however, after the introduction of the "traceability" concept, consumers understood firmly that food crises usually originate at an earlier stage, possibly in the manufacturing industry or even in the field. This, in case of animal products, takes place at the feed level. Thus, food and feed constitute communicating vessels. The importance of feed sector in relation to food safety has been documented (3). In addition, contamination of animal feed can occur in a more or less biological way, ...

Difference between revisions of "MangaDB DEV"

(Proposed Alternative for discussion after some debate on the topic with worf)

|Line 138:
=====Adding new
=====Adding new
Revision as of 21:01, 15 December 2011
this is the place to contribute ideas on a possible future addition of manga data to AniDB.
For other areas of active development on AniDB, check: Development.
Directly related: Generic PersonCompany DEV
First thing we need to be aware of what data we would like to actually store/how the real world looks like.
Content forms we care about
- (Light) Novels
- Manga
- Doujin
Content comes in various forms made up of different elements.
chapter only releases
used where?
- official online distribution
content elements
- chapters
volume only releases
used where?
- some novels
- doujins
content elements
- volumes which consist of basically 1 "chapter"
- "chapter"; basically 1 per book
- omake (depending on wanted granularity)
- illustrations (depending on wanted granularity)
- other 1 page content (index etc.) (depending on wanted granularity)
mixed content
used where?
- everything else
content elements
- volumes which encapsule the content into datasets
- chapters
- omake (depending on wanted granularity)
- illustrations (depending on wanted granularity)
- other 1 page content (index etc.) (depending on wanted granularity)
To make things worse the same content is released in multiple editions. Multiple editions usually share the same content (usually chapters) but might add different bonus content (illustrations, omake etc.). Repackaging and rereleasing are further reasons.
Hence an edition may or may not reuse existing content. It's potentially wanted to "transfer" as much data as possible with this. (where content = credits, release dates) While i say transfer what really is wanted is not duplication, but adressing the same content from multiple angles to lessen maintenance.
- 作者, 著者 - Author
- 発行所, 発行 - Publishing Office
- 出版社, 発行者, 発行人 - Publisher
- 発売所 - Sales Office
- 編集, 編集人, 編集者 - Editing
- 編集協力 - Editing Assistance
- カパーイラスト, COVER ILLUSTRATION - Cover Illustration
- カパー&ロゴ - Cover and Logo
- 本文デザイン - Text Design
- 印刷, 印刷所 - Printing
- 装丁, 装幀 - Binding
- 製版, 本文製版 - Text Platemaking
- 製本 - book making (binding, publishing)
- ILLUSTRATION, SPECIAL ILLUSTRATION - porn mag illustrations
Additional ones may contain assistance, colouring, illustration.
Most credits apply on volume level and for regular manga are given in a short summary towards the end of the book. Though certain types of releases may contain content which doesn't fit that rule. Especially illustrations/guest work should receive credits on chapter level. Same goes for magazine releases
- Chapter appearance
Nothing more to store here.
Situation and Problems
- packs aren't standardized
- repacks and re-edits are common
Manga entries
- basically just a name and a summary/description of the entry
- further data can't be stored at this level
- categories/tags would be assigned on this level
- compareable to an anime entry
- made up of several elements (chapter, volumes, etc.)
- picture
Element Edition
- to make truly reuseable we need a layer between editions and elements
- release dates
- volume/chapter "number"
- controls the order of elements (some internal number to shift content around)
- compareable to an episode entry
- variable element which may be a volume, chapter, omake, illustration, etc.
- needs nesting capeabilities to build a 2 level hirachy
- only volume/chapter(/omake?) ones should be addable to mylist; rest is mainly only in for credits and completeness sake
- generic files with language flag and group assignment
- possible would be to assign multiple hashes to each of these generic files to a) stop the clutter problem and b) still allow for automatisation without completely depending on filename parsing
- as files will exist on chapter level, unbound of editions, we want to store an edition id in the data record to prevent every single edition popping up in mylist; if the user really has multiple editions he will have to add those chapter as well evne if that means "duplicating" entries the listtb records
- credits will be set on element level; we can't add a manga or edition id in this for easy access as the data wouldn't be universally useable anymore
- to lessen the pain of data retrieval we will use a caching table which duplicates and condenses the data
Example Data
Adding new manga
- the add form should contain the data for mangatb, mangaeditiontb (to create the main edition as well), resourcetb, manganametb
- 1 mangatb entry
- 1 or 2 manganametb entries
- 1 mangaeditiontb entry
- 0,1 or multiple resourcetb entries
=====Adding new
Proposed Alternative High Level Relationship
This is here for discussion as a simpler relationship structure to see if it can withstand debate.
- Manga has_one Publisher
- Manga is_one [ Magazine | Doujin | Novel ]
- Manga has_many Volumes (at least one)
- Manga has_one Release (likely a year)
- Manga has Relationships to other related Manga just like Animes do.
- Volume has_one Manga
- Volumes has_many Chapters (at least one)
- Chapter has_one Volume
- Chapters may_have_many Anime (aid)
Any "entry" has a minimum of 1 row in all three columns in order to be in the system.
For example say Naruto chapter 9000 was released in JUMP, NarutoFanMag and the actual Naruto Manga later. This would be 3 manga entries, 3 volumes and 3 chapters entries in the database. This seems much easier as well as intuitive to the user. Just because a Chapter contains the same story in 3 different publications doesn't mean it needs to be the same row. It is a different physical object that just happens to have the same data (the likely won't be identical in many of the common cases).

Mazza, West, Schumaker win two events each for Panthers
PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Simmons College won nine of the 16 events Saturday and defeated Plymouth State University, 177-103, in a women's swimming and diving dual meet at the PSU Natatorium.
Junior Alison Gauvin (Whitefield, Maine) placed first on the one and three-meter diving boards to lead Simmons. The Sharks improve to 6-1 on the season, while the Panthers fall to 4-3.
Freshmen Julia Mazza (Belchertown, Mass.) and Julia West (Wiscasset, Maine) and sophomore Addie Schumaker (Haymarket, Va.) all registered a pair of first place finishes to lead Plymouth State.
Mazza won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 1:00.39 and topped all swimmers with a mark of 1:05.17 in the 100-yard butterfly. West won the 50-yard backstroke with a time of 30 seconds flat and later hit the wall first in the 50-yard butterfly with a time of 29.78. Schumaker swept the breaststroke events, winning the 50-yard race in 34.76, before taking the 100-yard circuit in 1:16.44.
Freshman Deanne DeGrazia (Westport, Mass.) also scored with a first-place effort for the Panthers, winning the 200-yard freestyle in 2:12.45.
Freshman Kerry Fleming (Northampton, Mass.) and sophomore Natalie Giraldi (Bedford, N.H.) each posted a first and second place showing for Simmons. Fleming won the 50-yard freestyle with a mark of 26.91, while Giraldi hit the wall first in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:52.47. Both swimmers were a part of the team's winning 200-yard medley relay squad. Fleming led off the race, followed by Giraldi, sophomore Michaela Morris (Duxbury, Mass.) and junior anchor Miriam Swisher (Albuquerque, N.M.), who hit the wall for the quartet at 1:58.02.
Swisher later won the only event she entered for Simmons, clocking in at 2:16.76 in the 200-yard individual medley, finishing just over a second off the school-record pace. Freshman Laura Simpson (Perkiomenville, Pa.) and junior Julie Nguyen (Salem, Mass.) each captured first place finishes for the Sharks; Simpson won the 100-yard backstroke in 1:08 flat, while Nguyen cruised to a victory in the 1000-yard freestyle with a mark of 12:17.90.
Plymouth State hosts the University of Saint Joseph (Conn.) next Saturday in the final home meet of the season at 1:00 p.m. The Sharks return to action Sunday when they head to Standish, Maine to swim against Saint Joseph's College at 1:00 p.m.
