Loving the concept of repurposing an old piece of furniture and making it into absolute awesomeness! Turn an old bed frame into a bench! Take a headboard and a foot board, make several cuts and adjustments, add some nails and wood glue – voila…it becomes a bench. Then paint it a cute shabby pink color and it turns into the most adorable bench ever!!
Here's the before….
Pink makes my day.
How cute would this be in a shabby chic girl's bedroom or a sweet playroom?? Complete details and instructions at In His Grip. It couldn't be any cuter. Repost from2010.

We understand:
The purpose of the initial qualifying meeting is to enable each of us to start learning about the other.
It is important that we gather high-level information about your company and background, such as:
This information enables us to understand your objectives and to decide whether there is the possibility of a beneficial relationship. In other words, do we think that our companies are suited? Can we provide value to you?
At the end of this meeting, both parties will know whether it is appropriate to continue on the evaluation path together.
Then, an internal review at Fenwick Software takes place to:
The discovery assignment is the key to a thorough and successful evaluation process. It is time spent by our consulting team interviewing your key people at your place to obtain information.
For example we need to:
Obtaining such information about you enables us to:
With the information obtained in the discovery, we can prepare a presentation and proposal for you that are targeted to your needs.
After the discovery, we consolidate our knowledge and present it back to you (perhaps in the form of tables, flowcharts etc) for confirmation that the information and our understanding of it is accurate.
Using the information we have gleaned in the discovery process and the project planning workshop, our consulting team then designs a solution that fits your needs.
We bring to this process:
In some cases, the solution may include other software products, custom built modules or interfaces to existing systems.
We examine your existing computer hardware and communications infrastructure and determine what changes, if any, will be required to meet the proposed new system.
The presentation is time for us to articulate our offer and the associated benefits. We will show you the Microsoft Dynamics NAV software and outline our services. We will deliver a draft proposal.
The presentation enables your key decision makers to gain an understanding of the proposed system, to interrogate us about it, and to evaluate the benefits of a partnership with Fenwick Software.
Specific details of the offer need to be finalised, for example the fine points of how the implementation would proceed, suggestions for phasing the project, the exact software granules required, changes to your hardware and communications platform etc. Our consulting team will prepare this and discuss it with you.
A written proposal will detail our offer. It will include:
The proposal will be authorised by our CEO and the Senior Consultant who has been involved in the process.
If you accept our proposal, we will work together with you to deliver the agreed business benefits.
Once the work is done, we will review the project with you and assess the extent to which the benefits have been achieved. Together, we will develop a case study to be used internally to improve what we do and externally for promotional purposes.

When you decide to install Applications during your OS Deployment using Configuration Manager, there are some caveats which must be taken into account
Applications installed during a task sequence must be installed completely silent, that means that no user interaction is allowed.
Some points of attention are:
- Task Sequence runs in the context of the System account
- There is no Explorer.exe running during a Task Sequence
- Installation must be fully unattended, no user interaction is allowed
- The installer may never initiate a reboot, it should return return code 3010 for example when a reboot is needed. ConfigMgr will then take care of the reboot when needed.
During many of my project building Task Sequences for customers I've build a way to test successful installation of an Application during a Task Sequence.
This is detailed in the Flowchart below:
Step 1: Intake of the application
During application intake, we collect all the information we can find for the application. In my opinion this information should be stored in a central place for example your DSL.
We need the following:
- Application Sources
- Installation Manual, which in the most ideal situation tells you exactly which parameters should be used for silent installation
- Application settings which you ideally determine together with the application owner, a senior user actually using the application.
We also need to determine the Name of the manufacturer, the name of the Application and the version
Step 2: Test Silent Application installation
First of all, you need to determine if the application has some requirements of other applications which should be installed for it to work correctly. Within ConfigMgr we can then install the required applications first before actually deploying the application we need.
Determine the silent installation parameters, some common parameters are listed below – but finding out the exact parameters can be a hard task. I really urge you to join the ITNinja community which has a lot of information about application packaging and unattended installation parameters.
Windows Installer
|Install the specified MSI
|Remove the specified MSI
|Install to the C drive, not just the drive with the most free space
|Install silently with no user interface
|Create a verbose a the path and filename specified
|/l*v c:\windows\ccm\logs\<uniqueID>_<applicationname>.log
|Do not allow the machine to be rebooted following installation
InstallShield Legacy Setup
Execute the installation while recording any wizards responses in an ISS answer file at the specified name and path
/r /f1 "path to ISS file"
Run a silent installation using the specified ISS answer file
/s /f1 "path to ISS file"
Do not release the current session until the installation is complete
InstallShield Windows Installer Setup
Silently install and pass the specified parameters to be included Windows Installer Setup
/s /v/qn"Windows Installer parameters"
Install the specified MSI
Remove the specified MSI
Install to the C drive, not just the drive with the most free space
Install silently with no user interface
Create a verbose a the path and filename specified
/l*v <location of logfile + name>.log
Do not allow the machine to be rebooted following installation
Important: It's important that you enable logging in your unattended application installation. ConfigMgr executes the installation parameters and determines successful installation based on the return code which is returned. Everything that happens in-between should be logged somewhere in order for you to determine what goes on during installation, and what went wrong when an application failed to install successfully.
Step 3: Test application installation in a Task Sequence
In all of my task sequences I created a run command line step named ##### Pause TS to check for whatever #### Debug which is disabled by default. This run command line step runs a script which pauses the Task Sequence allowing me to press F8 to start a command prompt from which I can test my application installation.
The script I use is listed below, I got this script from Niall Brady, who runs the Windows-noob website, another useful resource for SCCM related information. Save the code below in a .wsf script – keep in mind that you need to have MDT integrated (of course) in order to use the script. You Run command line step should contain cscript.exe <nameofscript>.wsf. If you put the script in your scripts folder of your MDT Files Package you will be able to execute it successfully.
<job id="setEnv">
<script language="VBScript" src="..\ZTIUtility.vbs"/>
<script language="VBScript">
Dim oTSProgressUI
set oTSProgressUI = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSProgressUI")
On error resume next
MsgBox "Pausing TS.",0, "PAUSE"
From the command prompt, map a network drive to a place where you have stored the application, and try to run the application using the parameters you determined in step 2. Also make sure the logfile is created on the place you specified, and open the logfile in order to determine if application installation was successful.
Step 4: Create Application in ConfigMgr and test your task Sequence
When you can successfully install the application using the method described in step 3 its time to integrate your application installation in your common task sequence. Create the application as described in this article: Keep in mind that when you create the application that you enable the setting Allow this application to be installed from the Install task sequence action instead of deploying it manually and that you allow the application to be installed whether or not a user is logged on.
If you have the ##### Pause TS to check for whatever #### Debug still enabled you should disable this step again.
Test your task sequence with your new application added. After installation check both the AppEnforce.log (which details how the application installation was executed) and the logfile which you specified during your application installation in order to determine if application installation was successful.
Step 5: Test Application Deployment and Application uninstallation
Keep in mind that most applications that you create in ConfigMgr should also be deployed and uninstalled at some point in time. Make sure that you also test these scenario's as well.
As a last note here are some things to consider as well:
First: Sometimes installing an application can trigger other application installations as well. Which could break your task sequence. Take for example the McAfee framework installation. This installation installs the McAfee agent, which contacts the McAfee ePO server. This server will then sent additional installations to the client based on set policy. Say for example that your task sequence is still running and installing applications, you can end up in a situation where the ePO server initiates an installation, and the next application which gets installed in the Task Sequence fails because another installation is already running (error code 1618)
Second: Most ideally you should separate application installation and application configuration from each other. Having this separation allows has several benefits. First of all you can include the application installation part in your Build & Capture task sequence, allowing the application to be configured in a second step when that image is deployed. Secondly you can have one application with different configuration based on a variable or specific location for example

The degree programme is based at the Bartlett School of Construction and Project Management.
The MSc reflects the importance of infrastructure for stable, sustained growth and prosperity throughout the developed and developing world. Governments are increasingly focusing on the role that infrastructure investment can play in leading economies out of recession, promoting long-term sustainable growth and protecting the environment.
The MSc course brings together academic research, industry experience and policy best practice. This helps to effectively and efficiently target infrastructure investment to address crucial structural issues such as congestion, access to clean water and stable energy supplies. It also helps policy makers to better understand effective financing of public and private infrastructure and how to deliver first class, affordable infrastructure.
EIB staff participate in teaching on the Masters programme. EIB staff can also undertake joint research projects with UCL staff and the Bank may offer traineeships and placements to Bartlett students.

Dallas, Texas – The Rev. Karen Greenwaldt, General Secretary of the United Methodist General Board of Discipleship from 2001–2013, has been named the 2014 Perkins School of Theology Distinguished Alumna. A clergy member of the Central Texas Annual (regional) Conference, Rev. Greenwaldt earned the Master of Theology degree from Perkins in 1977. The Distinguished Alumna Award will be presented Monday, February 3, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. during a banquet as part of Perkins School of Theology's Ministers Week.
The annual Distinguished Alumnus/a Awards recognize Perkins graduates who have demonstrated effectiveness and integrity in service to the church, continuing support and involvement in the goals of Perkins School of Theology and SMU, distinguished service in the wider community, and exemplary character.
Rev. Greenwaldt served as General Secretary (chief executive) of the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) from her election in 2001 through her retirement in December 2013. GBOD is one of 13 councils, boards, and commissions that carry out the work of The United Methodist Church. As General Secretary, Greenwaldt served as chief executive officer of an organization tasked with providing training, support, and resources for clergy and laity leaders in the areas of spiritual growth and development, devotional literature, curriculum resources, Christian education, evangelism, worship, stewardship, and ministry of the laity in a global denomination numbering approximately 12 million members.
Bishop D. Max Whitfield, Bishop in Residence at Perkins School of Theology, praised Greenwaldt's selfless leadership. "Rev. Greenwaldt is one of only a handful of Level 5 Leaders in General Church leadership," Bishop Whitfield observed. "She always places the advancement of the Kingdom of God above her own personal dreams and achievement. She was the individual from whom the other General Secretaries and many of the Council of Bishops members sought direction when major issues and the future direction of the denomination were needed."
Rev. Greenwaldt first came to the General Board of Discipleship as an elected member of the GBOD's Board of Directors from 1980–1981. She joined the GBOD staff in September 1981, serving as Director of Church Leader Development and Director of Education and Ministries with Young Adults and Single Adults, and later as Associate General Secretary, Administrator and Team Leader of the Discipleship Ministries Division. Before serving with GBOD, Rev. Greenwaldt was the Associate Council Director for the Central Texas Conference. She also served as an associate pastor and a hospital chaplain.
"Karen was the first female ordained as an elder in the Central Texas Conference," said the Rev. Jeannie Treviño-Teddlie, director of the Mexican American Program and the United Methodist Regional Course of Study School at Perkins. "She is highly regarded in the Central Texas Conference, as evidenced by her election as a clergy delegate to the 2004 and 2008 General Conference and South Central Jurisdictional Conference. In 2012 she was elected as a reserve clergy delegate to the General Conference and South Central Jurisdictional Conference."
Kim Simpson, Lay Leader of the Central Texas Conference, echoed Treviño-Teddlie's expression of esteem. "I have found Karen to possess wonderful leadership skills. She has been able to grow the service of GBOD in creative and productive ways."
Prior to earning the Master of Theology degree from Perkins School of Theology, Rev. Greenwaldt received her B.S. from McMurry University, Abilene, Texas. She is author of Singles Care One for Another, For Everything There is a Season, andOrganizing in the Small Membership Church, as well as numerous articles on the vision and mission of the church.
Rev. Greenwaldt is married to Russell Harris, a full-time studio potter. They are active members of their local United Methodist congregation.

In 1974, Jerry Brown, then California's secretary of state, won the Democratic primary for governor with just a shade under 1.1 million votes. In that race, the tally represented nearly 38 percent of the vote. More than 2.8 million votes were cast in that Democratic primary.
Last Tuesday, Jerry Brown, now California's attorney general, won the Democratic primary for governor with just under 1.6 million. But in that race, that tally represented more than 84 percent of the vote. Fewer than 2 million votes were cast, as of the last count.
Here's what makes that doubly damning -- the damned being Californian Democrats who don't care enough to show up and vote: Cailfornia's population was a bit over 21 million in 1974. Now we are a state of 38 million.
Think this is just a reflection of having a Democratic primary that wasn't much of a contest?
Well, in 1974, Houston Flournoy won the Republican nomination for governor with 1,164,015 votes-- 63 percent of the vote. As of Sunday, Meg Whitman, who broke all spending records in claiming this year's GOP nomination, had just over 1.2 million votes -- or 64 percent of the vote.
And yes, the state is twice as large. Californians only care half as much.

How to Make Teens Accountable
Personal accountability is part of growing up. When people make a decision -- whether wise or not -- dealing with the fallout of the decision goes along with it. When parents make teens accountable for their decisions and actions, the result is effective lesson learning 1. Your child will quickly learn which actions were positive and which ones had a negative result. These experiences will help teach responsible behavior.
Institute firm and clear expectations in your home to give teenagers structure and boundaries, advised psychologist James Lehman with the Empowering Parents website. Along with each expectation, create a clear and well-defined consequence if your teenager fails to meet the expectation. For example, if your teenager does not take out the trash, he needs to turn his cell phone in to you for two days.
Supervise your teenager's activities daily to be an involved presence in his life. This daily supervision might include ensuring your teen gets off to school on time, checking in with him when he gets home after school, asking how much homework he has, reminding him of household chores and ensuring that he abides by curfew and other household rules. At the end of the day, do an overall check to determine whether your teen missed any responsibilities or expectations.
Follow-through with promised consequences if your teenager fails to meet expectations. Following-through on consequences is simply keeping the promise you made to your child. Because keeping promises is an important part of accountability, your example can be an effective tool to teach keeping promises, according to the SchoolFamily website. Deliver notification of the consequence to your teen in a matter-of-fact manner to inform him of it. Avoid emotion -- keep this conversation calm and low-key.
Model an attitude of humility for your child. When you make mistakes, admit them, apologize and make amends. Your example can help your teenager become more accountable, admitting mistakes and resolving them.
Allow external and natural consequences to happen to your teenager whenever applicable, according to Education.com. For example, if your teenager procrastinates on an assignment and doesn't get it done on time, he needs to deal with the bad grade without a note from you. If your teenager gets a speeding ticket, he needs to pay the fine himself.
Praise your teenager when he handles responsibilities and meets expectations. Positive reinforcement helps encourage more responsible behavior.

The first World Air Games event came to a close today in the blink of an eye with the Microlight Pylon event final. The winners were the British team of Rob Grimwood and Chris Saysell who flew the three circuits of the 1200m course in a time of 3 minutes 30.6 seconds.
The second British team had to settle for second place but were only one tenth of a second behind. The semifinal was held shortly before the final round with the Italian team of Rossi Soavi/Vanzini gaining the bronze medal in a time of 3:53.3 min and Carra/Rossa coming fourth in 4:47.2 min.
So what was the story behind this event, the first time inflatable pylons have been used for a microlight race? Of course the high performance of the trikes played a role. The P&M QuikR microlights flown by the British teams benefitted from a design which did not require a kingpost, making the wing aerodynamically superior in relation to the other competitors wings.
But this is only half of the story; the very tight turns in the course required pinpoint accuracy and a great deal of concentration. Both the British teams showed controlled flying, maintaining an even height around the whole course, It was the combination of pilot skill and also high performance design which proved decisive in the race for medals.

Car insurance protects more than just your car. It also covers you, as well as other drivers, in case of injury. Choosing a policy is a long process; it's important to make sure it covers everything you need it to. This article will guide you toward getting auto insurance that's right for you.
Do your homework before you make a decision. There are different formulas that every company uses to determine your insurance premium. By shopping around and comparing rates, you can save a significant amount of money on your insurance.
Believe it or not, the amount you drive can affect your insurance premium. If you drive infrequently, many insurance companies will reduce your premium.
If you're insuring a teenager, check what it would cost to add them to a current policy, and then compare that to what their own policy would cost. Depending on the type of car your teenager drives, it might be cheaper to have them on a separate policy.
Pay your car insurance all at once or quarterly. Insurance providers add a convenience fee to monthly payments. This can be expensive over time. You may also find an additional bill every month to be an annoyance. Stick to this simple rule: make as few payments as possible.
Higher Deductible
Leave more money in your pocket by choosing a higher deductible. This can blow up in your face if you need to make a large claim, but so long as you save money to cover anything insurance won't, you might come out ahead in the end. Your premiums will often be considerably lower if you choose the higher deductible.
It is important to know about the different types of coverage. You should be certain that you have a policy that covers any possible incident. Liability insurance is necessary to cover you in case of an injury to others or property damage, as well as to cover your own medical expenses and damages to your car. Carrying insurance against people who are illegally uninsured is also imperative.
If your family includes teenage drivers, don't buy them their own cars. Instead, allow them to drive a vehicle your family already has. If you add them to your insurance policy, it will cost less. Certain things, such as being an honor roll student or having good grades, might get you a discount.
Look over your policy to see whether or not you are covered if someone without insurance hits you. It increases the cost of your premium if you opt in for this coverage, so it is something you'll want to carefully consider. It will also give you more protection if you are hit by an uninsured driver.
Compare rates amongst several insurers before picking auto insurance. It is likely that you will need to look at more than one to find the most beneficial policy.
Remove any drivers from your insurance that do not drive your vehicle anymore. Every driver that is on your policy will raise your premiums, so getting rid of inactive drivers will lower them significantly.
Look again at your current auto insurance policy with the above advice in mind. Revising your policy may be a good idea. Make changes that ensure the coverage you need is truly there. This will protect you and others.

I only wish this Buttercup hen was ready to sit on eggs, but it's too early in the year. So I've got the first eggs started in the incubator.
I had hoped to have a whole group of chicks by Valentines Day. But the first group of eggs I popped in a few weeks ago resulted in only one fertile egg. Batch number two went in this week and will be due later in February. I'll know next week how many of the second group are fertile.
I put Buttercups together first, but the Anconas will go into their breeding pen this weekend, so I hope to have lots and lots of chicks early this spring.
Last year I waited until late March to even get started with hatching chicks, and by the time the fall shows get underway, I had birds that were just a little too young and a little too small to give the other Mediterranean birds a run for the money.
So stay tuned, I'll post pics of the 2016 chicks. In the meantime, here are some pictures of chicks past. They are always cute and fun to work with, no matter what the year. I never get tired of them!
Poultry shows at the county fairs this year took a huge hit due to avian influenza(AI). Very few 4-Hers were allowed to bring their chickens or ducks to the fair for fear of another outbreak of AI.
That was the first big hit.
Then the poultry exhibitors at open shows found that most of their states had cancelled ANY kind of poultry get-together, including shows, swaps or exhibitions of any kinds. I have to say, I was a bit taken aback by all of this as the news kept dribbling in throughout the summer. It was way to late to worry about all the chicks I had hatched in hopes of selling some of my better ones at the larger shows.
Will they, won't they?
On the poultry exhibitor forums, the rumors were flying all summer. I was happy to find out in late summer that Indiana (my home state) would allow poultry shows after September 17. The first one of the season took places a few weeks ago, and another one in Lebanon, IN, is expected to draw more than double the usual number.
Why? Well, not every state has reinstated poultry shows. I'm not aware of any one source that lists all the state decisions, but suffice to say each state made its own decision and none of them seemed to be the same. Kentucky, to the south, has allowed shows but only for residents of Kentucky. And no birds at swaps or auctions. To the north, Michigan has pretty much cancelled everything having to do with live birds, shows, swaps, petting zoos, you name it.
If you have any questions about the state where you live, I suggest contacting your own state board of animal health and find out what the regulations are.
I do know that one of biggest shows of the year in the eastern half of the midwest is the Ohio National, in Columbus, OH. You can expect to see around 5,000 chickens ducks turkeys, geese and guineas at this huge show. Its also a chance to see breeds of chickens that I might not see anywhere else. And, because I raise a relatively rare breed–the Sicilian Buttercup–its a chance for others to get to see how beautiful they are.
So for most of us in the world of poultry exhibition, that's a big blow.
This weekend could be the biggest show of the year…and it could be the last
So, I'm planning on heading up to Lebanon this weekend to show off my birds for possibly the last time this year. If AI reappears anywhere this fall, I think we can all count on the fact that exhibitors will not be allowed to bring birds together in one building.
I was just out in the pens this morning, deciding which birds I would take with me. Normally I would bathe them before the show but it has been so dry that all of my birds look pristine. A few swipes with baby wipes on the legs and comb, a bit of oil to shine up the feathers and legs and they will be show-worthy.
So I'll let you know how poultry shows are going later this fall. I may go to some new shows that I have never attended in states that still allow poultry get-togethers. I'll have to travel a bit farther, but I guess its all an adventure.
Putting your chicks outside for the first time is both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially if you have never done this before. Usually by six to eight weeks their body will be covered with feathers. If the weather is nice during the day and above freezing at night, if they have feathers covering their body, if they are in an enclosed place that is safe from roaming hawks, foxes or other predators–they will be fine!
One of the first questions I often hear is: How can I be sure my chicks will go inside their new coop at night? Or: I can't get my chicks to go inside the coop at all!!
One of my favorite sayings about chickens is "they are creatures of habit until they aren't." Chickens do go into their coop at night, but it is not an automatic reaction. They have to have a little training. They have been inside in a box or other contained area that has been their home their entire life. Think of it from their perspective: Suddenly their entire world has changed, the habits they had developed of eating and drinking in one space are now completely useless in a new place. They don't know where they are supposed to sleep!
But its not really complicated to change those habits. You just have to give the young birds a little help and they will adapt very quickly.
The Big Move
For the first two to three days, I usually start new chicks out by keeping them inside the coop (with food and water inside, of course). This gives them a chance to bond with their coop and help them understand that this is home base no matter how far they wander during the day. Resist the temptation to let them out, but do check on them and make sure they have food and water at all times.
After three days, let them out late in the afternoon when there are only a few hours of sunlight left and keep the food and water inside the coop for right now. They will be a little nervous at this new development, but will most likely welcome the chance to get outside. You may want to come back as the sun goes down to check on them and make sure they are going back into the coop. Most of the time, they will.
I've had some years in which my chicks just can't figure it out, and here's what I do in that case: I'll take a camping lantern or a flashlight lying on its side, turn it on and leave it inside the coop as it gets dark outside. The birds usually flock to the light. Once everyone is in the coop, I take the light out and shut the coop door.
I usually don't have to do this more than one or two nights and by then everyone has figured out what to do. In some cases, if the entire group of chicks can't figure out where home base is, I simply lock them back in the coop for another two or three days and that always does the trick. Remember, they will get this figured out eventually!
One thing I have not found to be very successful is chasing down each of the young birds and putting them back in the coop one by one. If you do that, most of the time they have not learned to go into the coop by themselves and you might be spending a lot of time chasing down young birds who think the correct thing to do is wait for someone to put them away every night!
Some breeds are more prone to want to roost outside at night. I once had two Ameraucana hens who spent every night one summer perching on the handles of my chicken tractor every night. I am sure they would loved to spend the night outside, but I knew they most likely would get eaten by a predator. So every night I picked each one up and put them back inside the coop before locking up. But their behavior changed as fall came around and we had a few nights of really cold rain. That seemed to break that habit and they began to get in the coop with the rest of the birds. But each breed has different personality characteristics, and you'll find this comes true in many things, such as how easily (or not) you can train them to go into the coop each night.
I was surprised this week to go into my shed and find this little guy hanging out with my missing hen…
I didn't even know this hen was missing, so it was even more of a surprise to find them. Buttercups are not known for being broody, yet the last three years I have had more and more of my Buttercups sitting on eggs.
My new breed that I have started working with is single comb Anconas. They, too, are from the Mediterranean class and are not known for their ability to sit on eggs. Yet, right now inside my coop, an Ancona hen is a couple of days away from hatching three Buttercup chicks. At least, I hope that's what they are. If not, they will be an interesting experiment. I don't usually let things "surprise" me in that way, but its been a busy fall.
Worse things have happened. I'll post pics of the other new babies after they make it out.
I heard a sound this morning that startled me. At first I thought a chick was caught or injured. Then the sound came again and I wondered if one of the birds was sick.
As I walked around the corner of my shed, I found this little guy–a young Ancona cockerel–standing on top of his coop trying out his newly found skill of crowing. Like a pre-teen boy whose voice cracks as the hormones kick in, this little guy has some growing to do before he gets a full-fledged crow.
The quality of the video isn't great, but I had to get it quickly before he saw me and jumped down. Here's the whole 36 seconds! Listen closely, as there are some adult rooster crows interspersed. But when you hear the squeaky crow, you'll know it.
I love Runner ducks. They are so funny and industrious and great foragers. I was sad when I lost my two females last fall. So this spring, I ordered six new female ducklings. Three are fawn and white (seen below) and three are black.
April 30, 2015: Two days old.
June 3 , 2015: Two months old. (And their soon to be buddy, the single male Runner in the foreground)

As near as I can tell the question is not about what alt is good for, but whether there is any reason to worry about ensuring there is always an alt - for example, why use alt="" instead of just leaving out the alt attribute? I give two answers here - one about the alt attribute in particular, and the other about the idea of validation in general. alt attribute: Always including it is something of a sign that you cared about getting it right. If you have thousands of images in a site, and the first dozen I look at have reliable alt text, then I will assume (pro tempore - I have seen too many sites that are overall badly designed or maintained to give total credence based on a couple of good pages) that where you have alt="" it is because that is appropriate. If you just leave it off I assume you aren't sure how to code HTML properly, and suspect (pro tempore again - you might just be using bad tools) that your site reflects overall this lack of fundamental knowledge. As an author, this validation of alt attributes is your friend. It gives you an easy tool to find out what things on your site haven't been checked yet, so the process error of not determining the appropriate alternative for some image is matched by the validation error of there being none, which is easy to test for. This principle is picked up by the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines, which prohibit putting in default alt text for this reason. see http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG10/atag10.html#check-no-default-alt The reason to be concerned about validation in general is one of principle for HTML, less so for XHTML. The history of browsers was to make things that handled assorted tags that authors might write in something that looked like HTML. This left authors to think it didn't really matter what they wrote, and authoring tool producers to make software that produced any old rubbish. For browser makers like Netscape and Microsoft, building massive pieces of software to run on desktop machines and primarily oriented towards visual rendering this just meant adding more error-correction code. The story goes that mainstream browsers consist of a relatively small engine for rendering code that is valid to their internal rules, and most of the program is to try and massage content found on the web into code that can be processed by the engine. As people build other browsers, they want to avoid spending their life writing error-corrections and actually put some useful features in. On small platforms such as mobile devices (outside the US this is a very large market, and it is growing everywhere, if not at the spectacular rates promised by its most hyped early promoters) or for special-purpose tools such as a braille note-taker, or a communicator for someone who cannot speak easily, this is due to machine constraints as well as programmer preferences. But to do this in the real world they have to rely on adoption of standards to a reasonable degree. In the XML world, processors are meant to stop if they run into an error. This is to provide the robustness required for doing things like automatic transactions - using the old HTML rule of ignore what you don't understand is a bad way to tell a robot to work through instructions for heart surgery - if it doesn't understand everything it shouldn't start the process. (A less extreme example is comparing privacy agreements to deiced whether to submit your name and phone number...) Bringing HTML to the XML world through the development of XHTML means that it is possible to use XML parsers and systems to interpret a lot of existing Web content with only minimal change required, and that change can be automated in many cases. At the same time it is close enough to HTML to be understood by legacy browsers with minimal changes. For a content management system it should be very easy to provide an application/xhtml+xml version of any document as XHTML, and provide an automatically generated text/html version to old fashioned browsers. An important feature of standardisation is that it might not be the best possible approach to a particular problem, but there is value in the fact that we all use the same rules. Having an ongoing development process means that if we find that we made bad decisions we can change them (I claim the switch in the CSS cascade order between CSS1 and CSS2 is an example of doing this) but if we don't have a standard to begin with then we are left trying to guess what other people will do and follow that. For very simple stuff (like visually rendering HTML) it more or less works, but for using the Web at anything like its full potential it doesn't - the same companies that claim it isn't that important to use standardised HTML or XML are often the ones working very hard to standardise ways of providing and describing services over the Web, in recognition of the fact that interoperability is crucial. my 2 cents worth Chaals On Tuesday, Feb 4, 2003, at 04:15 Australia/Melbourne, Terry Thompson wrote: > I'm trying to grasp the implications of ALT being a required attribute > in various if not all DTD's of both HTML and XHTML. it is required in all XHTML DTDs, and in HTML 4 and up.

The big orange orb spider
I watched the bees on the Echinops ritro gathering nectar, but then suddenly, as one flew off with its pollen baskets full it bumbled into the web of a huge orange orb spider.
It only took moments for the spider to run out from inside its curled leaf lair, inject the bee with its venom, and as the bee continued to struggle, trussed it up like a Thanksgiving turkey. It dragged it off to feast on it later.
The rest of the bees blithely continued gathering nectar...

Sample Resolution
For your use. This sample resolution is based on Essex and Washington Counties' resolutions. Feel free to cut, paste, and tailor this or any of the other resolutions as needed.
WHEREAS, for many decades ___[town, county]________ has successfully used mechanical lever-style voting machines, with very few problems, and is desirous of continuing to do so; and
WHEREAS, New York State enacted the Election Reform and Modernization Act of 2005 (ERMA) and other laws that require all lever machines to be replaced and prohibit the use of any lever machines in any future elections in New York State; and
WHEREAS, ______________ believes that the continued use of lever-style voting machines is in the best interest of the public and should be permitted to be used in future elections; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of this Board that if the State of New York replaces lever voting machines with optical scanner systems, the cost to the taxpayers of (_____________County) will be insurmountable not covered by HAVA funds and the payment thereof will severely strain and possibly break the budgets of all Counties in this time of economic crisis: and
WHEREAS, the expense of the computerized voting systems is exorbitant and will no doubt increase annually and there will be uncertain as to costs and expenses, none of which exists with the current lever machine and BMDs machines; and
WHEREAS, New York State now has a transparent, secure, accurate and reliable electoral system using the lever-style voting machines; and
WHEREAS, the New York State legislation relating to voting machines far exceeds the federal requirements of Help America Vote Act (HAVA); and
WHEREAS, the current movement to electronic means of recording votes requires staff and training that does not currently exist and also requires more expense and labor for processing of the materials associated with an election, and
WHEREAS, fears of violations of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) are misplaced due to the existence of both lever machines that are capable of access by certain classes of impaired voters as well as the existence of ballot marking devices, and
WHEREAS, (____________________County's) experience with ballot marking devices shows that the expense of materials preparation and handling during future elections will outweigh the benefits supposedly associated with use of optical scan machines, and
WHEREAS, the (___________________County Board of Supervisors or Legislatures) believes that the mandate to retire working lever voting machines in favor of another system is illustrative of the continued efforts by the State and Federal Governments to solve a problem that does not exist in (___________________ County), and
WHEREAS, this mandated discontinuance of lever voting machines constitutes an unfunded mandate upon (__________ County) and significantly increases the costs of elections to the County's citizens; now therefore be it

7 Summer Basics You Can Get for Under $100 at Amazon
Amazon may be our favorite destination for online shopping. You can buy entire summer outfits, head to toe, on the site, or pick up pieces that you need for an upcoming vacation or an imminent special occasion. Your Prime membership will come in handy if you need something in short order. But you can also stock up on on some great summer basics via Amazon. We've chosen some basics that will come in handy in just about every wardrobe, whether you're spending most of the summer in the office or planning on jetting off to a favorite destination stateside or abroad. The pieces ahead are all summer staples that we wouldn't be without — ones that you can easily add to your rotation with a quick Amazon order.
1. White oxford
The white oxford is a piece that you'll find endless ways to style this summer. You can wear it with trousers to the office, throw it on with a pair of jeans for weekend errands, wear it with a skirt for a dinner date, or style it with a pair of shorts for a trip to the beach. Alternative Apparel's oxford shirt is a great style to try. It's crafted of 100% cotton, which makes it breathable even on hot and humid summer days, and features a classic button-down collar.
2. Striped tee
Whether your sense of style skews all-American or has a more European bent, a striped tee can occupy an important place in your summer wardrobe. A short-sleeve style pairs easily with trousers, a pair of jeans, pencil skirt, or a pair of shorts for a casual outing. A long-sleeved version is perfect for chilly mornings or coastal winds, and works as a chic poolside layer. There's practically an endless array of striped tees to choose from, but one of our favorites is this long-sleeved Petit Bateau style, which is constructed of midweight jersey and offers a perfectly classic look.
3. Chinos
Chinos are the perfect summer alternative to jeans. They're usually more lightweight and breathable than, say, a tight pair of skinny jeans, and they look a little more dressed-up than your average pair of denim. If you aren't yet wearing chinos regularly, look for a pair that's cut slim but relaxed to maximize your comfort on hot summer days, like this pair from Dockers. A tab closure keeps things looking streamlined, and slim legs make it easy to cuff them and show off your shoes, whether you pair them with heels or flats.
4. Light-wash jeans
If, on the other hand, you love wearing jeans, then you can't go wrong with a pair of light-wash denim for the summer. You aren't going to be wearing these to any dressed-up dinners, so why not opt for a pair with a lived-in look? We love Levi's 501 jeans in "Laurel Haze," a color way that's light and distressed without any of the excessive fading or gratuitous tears that other brands add. This pair is made of 100% cotton denim and feature a button-fly for styling that's perfectly reminiscent of your favorite vintage pairs.
5. Black dress
A little black dress is a staple year-round. And if you choose the right cut, you don't have to hang yours up in the closet when the weather gets hot. For a summer-friendly LBD, a great style to try is a trapeze dress. Karen Kane's trapeze-cut style is a great illustration of how versatile the silhouette is. Styled right, it can either look super casual perhaps with the sandals and straw hat you wear each weekend to the farmer's market, or dressed up, such as with your favorite pair of heels and a sleek clutch.
6. Canvas sneakers
A canvas sneaker is an extremely useful shoe for summer. If you've had a pair already, you've probably found yourself wearing them all the time, and if you've held out on adding a pair to your wardrobe, then you'll be surprised by just how versatile these shoes can be. One of our favorite styles is the Jack Purcell from Converse. It's streamlined and comfortable, and just classic enough that you can wear it with a dress in addition to styling it with your favorite jeans or chinos. You can't go wrong with a pair in white.
7. Sandals
Our final recommendation for a summer staple you won't want to live without? A sleek pair of sandals. Whatever your opinion on flip-flops, you can probably agree that there are times when you want a pair of shoes that look summery but polished. A sandal, like this Sam Edelman style, fits the bill. They're minimal and streamlined, so they'll look great when you're headed to a party that calls for a cute dress, and look equally perfect when you're throwing on a tee and shorts to head to the pool.

You already knew that TV wasn't so good for your health, but could it actually be killing you? News that will change how you think about the boob tube...
I'm not much of a TV watcher, but I do have a weakness for "The Bachelor," "The Bachelorette," and other Chris Harrison spin-offs (and I will confess to having a love-hate relationship with "Bachelor Pad" right now!)
But, maybe I should ditch the remote. Australian researchers say that for every hour of TV we watch, we shorten our lifespan by 22 minutes.
The message is clear: inactivity and mindlessness isn't good for us, so the less veg-out time, the better. But, I still contend that after an active day, you deserve a little downtime! After all, everything is killing us these days, isn't it? :)
Do you watch a lot of TV? Do you feel bad after you do?
P.S. Does this TV health ad offend you? And, eeks, more bad news for TV watchers...

So let's talk Fifty Shades of Grey. As the movie comes closer to actuality, I've been thinking a lot about the implications of the popularity amongst housewives and how it could possibly affect our children. I am sure that much like Magic Mike, the hype that will surround this film's release will permeate into our children's lives. The nekkidness will carry the movie (although we'll see how well unless it's XXX rated), despite the lackluster plot line.
I'm not a prude or at least I don't think so. I read the trilogy shortly after bringing Baby T into the world (and you know when you have a baby everything changes)—and my take-away from it was less sexy and much more a resounding feeling of disgust. Don't get me wrong like many husband's mine benefited from my immediate reaction to the novel (TMI?)—but when I really considered the books and what they were promoting I felt dirty (and not in a good way). I cringe when moms give positive commentary on the trilogy, openly discussed what they noted as "swoon-worthy" on Facebook—and walk around toting their "Laters, Baby" bags and t-shirts. It's being talked about openly and LOUDLY, and perpetuated as "hot" and is a headliner because it "turns horny housewives on". Great, but what message does this send to our kids? Women everywhere are giving approval and validating the Christian-Anastasia relationship and there are some HUGE red flags when I consider what that "says" to my child.
I don't want my son to think controlling a woman is the way to make her fall in love with him or the only way to con her into having sex with him. I don't want him to think being emotionally abusive is okay. There is no "sorta" about it. Case closed. Grey has some serious control issues over Anastasia. He lies to control her career and lies to "protect" her. Their relationship isn't one based on transparency and communication. That's problem numero uno.
I don't want my son to think sex is something that can be bought or bargained for. While some may argue Anastasia "agrees" to his terms the premise of this relationship is stuff. She wants to be with him so badly she will settle for his "terms" (yes, I know she draws the line at some things and never signs a contract—trust me I read it). She wants more from him than he's willing to offer. Obviously, like in most erotica/romance she falls in love with him when she knows she shouldn't.
I don't want my son to think sex is something that can be purchased with the right currency. He essentially buys her submission with fancy dinners, laptops and a luxury home. He uses her as a plaything and she gets over-attached. Here's my problem with this—sex without love is simply shameful—I can't even imagine such a thing—and maybe that makes me old-fashioned but seriously—I don't want my son to have sex with anything that moves just for the "fun" of it and to get his rocks off.
I don't want my son to associate pain with pleasure or associate sexual relationships with dominance and submission. I admit, I do not really understand the BDSM lifestyle but I do know that I don't want my son to think that causing someone pain will prolong their pleasure. This screams rape to me despite "willing parties". Relationships of all kinds should be based on mutual respect and understanding. I don't see that with Christian and Anastasia. I don't want him to think that having sex with someone involves "hurting them" because you "love them".
I don't want my son to become Christian Grey and I don't want my daughter to date Christian Grey. End of story. So what message are we sending kids by promoting this trilogy and it's characters relationship?

At its Tuesday meeting, the Hutchinson City Council approved final plans for an expansion to the shelter that will add a multipurpose room with a kitchenette to the southern portion of the building.
Plans also include an expanded foyer area, the creation of offices for animal control officers, more storage, a public restroom, a laundry room, a grooming room and an enlarged processing room.
The Gladys F. Gossage Charitable Foundation Trust will fund the estimated $500,000-plus expansion, including furnishings for the new space.
The animal shelter is the sole beneficiary of the trust, which provides its net annual income for capital improvements or additions to the shelter and for day-to-day operations.
Once construction begins - likely in a month or so - it will take four to six months to complete the project, depending on weather.
Vice Mayor Bob Bush expressed disappointment the money wasn't used to expand the shelter's capacity, but added he respected the trust's decision and voted for approval.
On Tuesday, the council also approved an addendum to its agreement with Reno County to reconstruct Halstead Street, from Fourth to 11th avenues.
Last week, the county approved the addendum, which is in response to escalating project costs that have jumped from $801,048 in 2004 to $2.9 million in July 2008.
It sets a cap on city and county funding for the construction portion of the project to 5 percent over the construction estimates the parties received in July. The addendum also caps the county's funding for construction engineering services at 5 percent over the estimated costs received in July.
The addendum allows the city to increase its contribution in the event that bids come in over the cap, if city leadership so desires.
In other action, the council approved Hutchinson Community College's request to demolish the former student health clinic at 425 E. 13th Avenue and create a student and personnel parking lot.
The parking lot will contain about 18 spaces and be connected to an adjacent lot to the south. There will be entrances on both Plum Street and 13th Avenue.
The college needs the extra spaces as other parking areas on campus have been removed to make way for new classrooms and facilities.
Site plans include a 6-foot cedar fence and a 4-foot strip of grass along the west property line between the parking lot and the adjacent house. There will also be landscaping on the east side of the lot and a planter bed in the northeast corner.
Council members also took the following action:
* Approved a plan to extend Fruitland sewer, which will take city public sanitary sewer from south of 43rd Avenue to 45th Avenue on Halstead Street and from Halstead Street to Sherwood Drive on 43rd, 44th and 45th avenues.
The project will be bid in November and construction is expected to take two months. The project will be paid for with city funds and through a benefit district in the area.
* Approved a plan to repair about 3,000 feet of existing sewer main located in Severance Street, from Avenue C to Fourth Avenue, and about 200 feet of sewer main that crosses Nickerson Boulevard east of Whiteside Street. Construction is expected to take about nine months and will be funded through the Sewer Utility Fund. The project will also be bid in November.

A new iteration of Thief, which has apparently been years in the making at Eidos Montreal, has been revealed as the cover of Game Informer's April issue.
According to a post on the Game Informer website, the game, simply referred to as Thief, will be a next-generation effort as Square Enix intends to release it for "PS4, PC, and other next-gen platforms sometime in 2014".
"Series hero Garrett returns to the Gothic, industrial metropolis known simply as the City to steal any and everything that will make him richer," the post says.
"Unfortunately, the City is broiling with social tension as it is ravaged by a plague and lorded over by a political tyrant known as the Baron.
"In order to survive his adventures, Garrett will have to pay attention to his environment and make use of the may possible paths through each of the game's levels."
Prior to the announcement, screenshots of the game appeared on Russian website GamesManiac.
A reel released last year by compositing artist Eric Wong appeared to be a trailer for the game. Although since removed, you can check out the brief clip, here.

PRS make some of the most beautiful guitars in the world. From their Premium Private Stock and Core lines to the more focused S2 and SE models. And thats not even mentioning this incredible Swamp Ash top model.
The PRS SE range of guitars are world-renowned for their high quality hardware and woods at a really affordable price. It's got all of the trimmings that you'd want from an SE with high quality SE 245 pickups and a quality stoptail bridge.
Traditional Style
One of the things that made PRS stand out when they launched in 1985 was the 25" scale length this meant you could get a feel and level of playability that wasn't available before in production guitars. Not everyone is a fan of that and some people like a shorter more traditional singlecut scale length. That is where the 245 comes in, with a 24.5" scale length you can get around this neck a lot easier with a bit less string tension.
If tradition is what you are after than this may be the right guitar for you. Made with a mahogany body and neck that has PRS's signature 'Wide Fat' profile for those who like to dig in to a chunkier neck. If you want to rock with this guitar you can or if you want to mellow it up you can do so with ease without having to worry about any loss in quality.
- Body Wood: Mahogany
- Top Wood: Zebrawood
- Neck: Mahogany
- Fretboard: Rosewood
- Inlays: Birds
- Bridge: Stop tail
- Bridge Pickup: SE 245 Bridge
- Neck Pickup: SE 245 Neck
- Controls: Vol/Vol/Tone/Tone/3-way toggle
- Gigbag: SE Gigbag included

This organization does have connections to Islam. Just the same way that American Family Insurance has connections to WASPS, and Jews, and whoever you interact with. It's not meant to be a negative experience, because the meaning of the word "business" is "busy". You don't have a busy business if you don't interact with people from other ethnicities and cultures.
No, the American Family Association is not connected to Islam, because they have vastly different ways to go about the things they want to happen. Both the AFA and Islam have higher standards for morality and personal conduct than the general American society has, but that is where they part ways. The AFA and Islam disagree on most other major issues.
I do not know of any kind of connection between the American Family Association and Islam. I would say they are like oil and water. One is a far-right Christian-based organization and the other is merely a different religion, so I would be hard-pressed to see what link exists between the two. If anything, there have been blog posts on the AFA website critical of Islam.
Tell them that they are though, I'm sure it would infuriate them. The American Family Association is a bunch of backwards bigots living in the past, I'm sure they'd lead the charge to drive Islam out of the country before they were in any way affiliated with it. The short answer here is no.
The American Family Association connected to Islam. At least anything is possible but I do not think that they are. The American Family Association is a United States non-profit organization that promotes fundamentalist Christian values. It opposes same-sex marriage, pornography, and abortion. Basically, it is a hate group for anything they do not believe in and they are hated for it. I do not like them at all.

Bad Saint
Even though our visit to Washington D.C. was going to be short, I did not want to pass up the opportunity to enjoy one of the top restaurants in the area (the question was which one?) Well, Bad Saint was literally steps from where we were staying, so it would be foolhardy to pass up this opportunity.
Bad Saint is a Filipino Restaurant with limited seating and they take no reservations. It is usually advised to come an hour or more before opening.
Having been raised by my Filipino Mom and having grown up on Filipino cuisine, why would I wait in line for something so familiar? Even though it may be the same recipe, the dish will vary in flavor/style from island to island, and even from family to family.
I just wanted to see how their "house" recipes compare and contrast to ours.
What is Filipino food exactly? There isn't a concrete answer to that, and opinions differ from person to person, depending on who you ask. The best answer I have from what I know of Filipino food is that it is a mix of a lot of things: Spanish, a variety of Asian influences (Chinese, Japanese and Korean, for example) and Indonesian, to name a few. There is not a lot of sweet, but sour and salty. There are dishes that are light and others that are heavy and comforting.
Yeah, the food is pretty diverse.
When they had opened, there was already a big party at the head of the line. I believe the largest table they had sits 4 or 6 people. The line moved quickly and we advanced a few feet. Already they were at capacity. They were taking names and phone numbers so they could text you when a table is ready.
I came prepared for this already. I wasn't too hungry yet and already planned to head back to our place to wait my turn. I expected at least an hour and a half wait.
Then the Hostess announced that they had one seat available and asked if anyone was dining solo. Hey, that would be me!
I raised my hand so high and fast, that I was literally standing on my toes. The Hostess gestured to me and I followed her in.
Yeah, maybe it looked sad that I was eating alone, but I was far from being sad – I was happy that I did not have to wait over an hour to eat here after all!
I was seated along the windows on a high seat. The bar ledge was edged with Mahjong tiles, and I was immediately reminded of the late nights with my Uncles and Cousins with the sounds of tiles getting "shuffled" on the card table.
When I was handed the menu, I was advised that the chef changes the selections often.
I may not have been hungry outside, but I was now. The kitchen was literally behind me and, whatever they were cooking was making my mouth water.
I also accepted the fact that I was going to smell like food after this.
I decided to go with 3 dishes (mostly because I couldn't make up my mind!)
I started with Kinilaw Na Pugita, which was octopus with fingerling potatoes and sliced Queen Olives in a vinagrette.
I want to say we had something similar to this but with squid once. I did like the olives in this version.
Next was Bulalo, a bone marrow stew with corn, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, green chili and a side of a vinegary fish sauce for more seasoning. I couldn't resist getting this as I am a fan of this stew!
The stew was delicious and reminded me of how my Mom makes it. In fact, its hard to say, whose is better.
The last dish I tried was Pancit Na Hipon, made with glass noodles, pork belly (mmm pork belly 😍), shrimp and chili.
Pancit is one of those dishes that takes many forms, usually dependent on the type of noodle. When my Mom makes pancit, its with a rice noodle. My aunt makes her with a thicker, almost lo mein style type noodle. With the noodles, you can add any type of protein (ie chicken, pork or shellfish) and sliced vegetables (ie celery, carrots, green onions) and don't forget the fish sauce! Having the pancit with the glass noodle was an interesting take. It almost slid in my mouth from the sauce and the pork belly. The peanuts added crunch and the chilis some heat (even though I asked for it to be mild). I really did like it.
At the end I was given, what reminded me of Turon, Banana Lumpia with Caramel Sauce. However, the Hostess called it something else (I think, because it didnt sound like Turon). The outside was a crispy and flaky egg roll wrapper, coated in a sticky caramel with a ripe and sweet banana inside. Anyway, it was still good, no matter what it was.
Overall it was a great meal. I wished I had more room to try the rest. I definitely would go back if I had another opportunity.
