HAMPTON -- Hurricane Sandy lured throngs of shoreline spectators to Hampton Beach and North Beach as the notorious "Frankenstorm" began making its presence felt, with sea-soaked eyewitnesses lining up to behold nature in action and snap pictures of waves splashing over the seawall.
"I have never seen anything like this," said Skylar Quinn, who just moved to Hampton from Texas. "This is my first coastal experience during a hurricane and it's kind of scary."
Quinn was one of many who came out to take pictures of the rough surf Monday afternoon during the first high tide with Hurricane Sandy inching closer to the Seacoast.
The storm's potential destructive power — with the worst hitting the New Hampshire coast Monday afternoon and lasting until 3 a.m. Tuesday — caused N.H. Gov. John Lynch to declare a state of emergency.
Unitil reported that by early evening 3,333 customers had lost power in Seabrook, along with 264 in Hampton, 466 in Hampton Falls and 13 in North Hampton.
The town of Hampton closed its offices as well as the Lane Memorial Library on Monday afternoon as the governor recommended all nonessential employees be allowed to go home. Selectmen also canceled their meeting.
Even though both beaches are closed for the duration of the storm, Hampton police allowed bystanders to take pictures Monday afternoon because, at least at that time, there was not much of a hazard posed by debris spilling over from the ocean as in past storms.
One police officer, however, was not amused to see the huge crowds.
"It's all fun and games until someone gets hit with a rock," he said.
When asked what brought her to the beach, Amanda Duty of Portsmouth said "take a look," as a wave splashed over the seawall drenching more than a dozen beachgoers.
Duty brought her kids, including her new baby, proclaiming that the storm was "baby's first hurricane."
After one man got splashed by a wave, he started to sing the song "Sandy" from "Grease."
"Sandy, my darling you hurt me real bad," he sang off-key.
While the beach was full of storm watchers, the majority of the businesses were boarded up, including year-round ones like the Ashworth by the Sea, which has decided to close for the next few days due to the storm.
Hampton Police Chief Jamie Sullivan said they survived the first high tide with no major issues.
"There was pretty good splash-over and just some minor flooding on the back streets of Ashworth Avenue from the Hampton police station to Wally's Pub," Sullivan said.
"But for large tides, it's not uncommon to see flooding on those streets."
Sullivan said those streets had 1 to 2 feet of water spilling over from the marsh. But by mid-afternoon, the majority of the water had already receded.
Sullivan said they expect additional flooding at the next high tide set for Tuesday at midnight as the worst of the hurricane is supposed to last until Tuesday morning.
It's during that duration that police are concerned about power outages caused by downed wires, trees and limbs.
Wind gusts, he said, were expected to be around 40-70 mph.
Sullivan said a regional storm shelter for Seacoast residents is open at the North Hampton School, 201 Atlantic Ave. in North Hampton.
The shelter, he said, will be available for anyone who wants to leave voluntarily due to flooding or loss of power.
Large waves continue to soak people who dare to get too close to surf pounding Hampton Beach on Monday.

The first chronologically comprehensive and conceptually sound view of conversion to Islam was that offered by R. W. Bulliet. His Conversion to Islam in the Medieval Period, published in 1979, is of great importance to the study of the conversion process and its ethno-religious and social consequences. Qualifying R. W. Bulliet's method as "an original, bold and provocative work worthy of attention," it should be mentioned that his study has been criticized on many grounds. Some historians conceive it, above all, as "food for thought," its conclusions being reliable primarily with respect to medieval Iran only, due to the great limitations of the source base. I would maintain, however, that given the sufficient amounts of available empirical data, R. W. Bulliet's research technique is reliable and meaningful. In my paper I have attempted to show through the results of my research that his quantitative model and timetable of conversion to Islam are valid in relation to the investigation of the dynamics of ethno-religious processes in the Ottoman Balkans. The similar results revealed in both this researcher's theoretically drawn model and the curve of conversion that I obtained when using a sufficient quantity of numerical data from the Balkans, prove that Bulliet's method is applicable in investigating the diffusion of Islam in its broadest chronological and territorial scope.

Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' jersey from the 1986 World Cup is set to fetch a record price at auction
It was the best moment – or the worst moment – in football history, and now deep-pocketed sports fans can own a piece of it.
The shirt Diego Maradona wore when he scored the controversial 'Hand of God' goal against England at the 1986 World Cup is on sale for the first time. Auctioneer Sotheby's said Wednesday that the jersey could fetch more than $5.2 million in an online auction that opens on April 20.

Classic England on Youtube
Brahm Wachter, head of streetwear and modern collectibles at Sotheby's, said the shirt was "on a little list of the world's most important sports memorabilia".
"I'll never be able to handle something that good again," said Wachter. "The moment is iconic in the history of the sport."
In June 1986, 25-year-old Diego Maradona made history in what is now one of the most famous football matches in the world. Now the jersey he wore when he composed The Hand of God is set to break a record as it will be auctioned for the first time.https://t.co/9gIsVAtaK1
— Sotheby's (@Sotheby's) April 6, 2022
Maradona scored twice in the quarter-finals game in Mexico City on June 22, 1986, just four years after Britain and Argentina fought a war over the Falkland Islands. The Argentine's first goal was ruled a header, but the ball had bounced off Maradona's fist, out of sight of the referee.
Maradona later said that it was incised "a little with Maradona's head and a little with the hand of God".
Maradona's second goal saw him dribble the ball past almost the entire England squad before beating goalkeeper Peter Shilton. In 2002 it was voted "Goal of the Century" in a FIFA poll.
Wachter said the two goals were "excellently balanced" and revealed two facets of Maradona's character.
The first "was really smart and had a bit of a lucky moment," he said. "But then he scored a second goal, which was one of the most incredible – almost angelic – goals of all time."
Argentina won the game 2-1 and became world champions. Considered by many to be the greatest gamer of all time, Maradona struggled with cocaine abuse and other excesses and died in November 2020 at the age of 60.
After the game, Maradona swapped shirts with England midfielder Steve Hodge, who had never sold it until now. It has been on loan to England's National Football Museum in Manchester for the past 20 years.
In an interview with FIFA, Hodge recalled: "I thought I'm not going to be here again. I'll try to get a jersey… I shook Maradona's hand. He was bullied by his teammates. So I was like, 'There's no point, just leave it.'"
According to Sotheby's, Hodge then had a second encounter with Maradona.
"After the interview, I went behind the gate to the dressing room," Hodge said. "As I went down, Maradona was walking with two of his teammates. I looked him in the eye, tugged at my shirt as if to say, 'Any chance of a swap?' and he came right over, waved a prayer and we swapped shirts. And that was it. It was that easy."
The blue shirt with light blue stripes was a one-off that was hastily put together because the tops the Argentina team wanted to wear were deemed too heavy for the Mexico City heat. Argentina Football Federation patches were sewn on and sparkling numbers, including Maradona's 10, were ironed onto the back just before the game
Hodge said he was a "proud owner" of a shirt that "has a deep cultural meaning for the football world, for the people of Argentina and for the people of England". According to Wachter, Hodge decided "that the time is right" to sell.
Sporting goods prices have risen sharply in recent years. The shirt could break a record for an athletic apparel held by a Babe Ruth New York Yankees jersey that sold for $5.64 million in 2019. A buyer paid $8.8 million for the manifesto that launched the modern Olympic movement, a record for a sporting goods item.
The shirt will be on display at Sotheby's showroom in London during the sale period from April 20th to May 4th.

Macronutrient Intakes of Male Rugby Union Players: A Review
Katherine Elizabeth Black, Alistair David Black, and Dane Frances Baker
Rugby is a worldwide intermittent team sport. Players tend to be heavier than the majority of similar team sport athletes on whom the dietary guidelines have been developed. Therefore, the aim of the current review was to describe the intakes of rugby union players. Article databases were searched up to February 2017 and were included if they were published in English and reported dietary intakes of male rugby union players. Of the research articles identified, energy intakes were lower than two of three studies that reported intakes and expenditure, which would suggest the players were losing weight that is somewhat supported by the decreases in skinfolds seen during preseason. However, it should also be noted that there are errors in both the measurement of energy intakes and expenditure. Carbohydrate intakes ranged from 2.6 to 6.5 g·kg−1·day−1, which is lower than the current relative to body mass recommendations; however, this would not be classed as a low-carbohydrate diet. The consistently low intakes of carbohydrate suggest that these intake levels maybe sufficient for performance, given the players greater body mass or there are errors in the measurements. However, there is currently no evidence for the carbohydrate needs of rugby union players in terms of performance. The lower intakes than expenditure would suggest the players were losing weight. Previous research shows that rugby union players lose body fat during preseason training.

Social Media as a Nutrition Resource for Athletes: A Cross-Sectional Survey
Bridget Ellen Philippa Bourke, Dane Francis Baker, and Andrea Jane Braakhuis
Social media contains a wealth of nutrition information and proposes a cost-effective, highly engaging platform to deliver nutrition information to athletes. This study used an online questionnaire to determine whether New Zealand athletes are using social media as a source of nutrition information and to understand perceptions of social media as a nutrition resource. Quantitative data were analyzed using t tests, chi-squared tests, and logistic regression analysis. Inductive thematic analysis was adopted for the qualitative data. From the 306 athletes who completed the questionnaire, 65% reported social media use for nutrition purposes in the past 12 months. Social media use was predicted by both athlete status and gender. Female athletes were more likely to have used social media for nutrition purposes (odds ratio = 2.7, 95% confidence interval [1.52, 4.62], p = .001) than males. Elite athletes were less likely to have used social media for nutrition (odds ratio = 0.44, 95% confidence interval [0.24, 0.83], p = .011) than recreational athletes. Athletes commonly used social media for practical nutrition purposes, including recipes and information about restaurants/cafes. Perceived advantages of social media as a nutrition resource included ease of access, well-presented information, personal connectedness, and information richness. Athletes' primary concern for obtaining nutrition information from social media was information unreliability.

Effects of Chronic Cold-Water Immersion in Elite Rugby Players
Francisco Tavares, Martyn Beaven, Júlia Teles, Dane Baker, Phil Healey, Tiaki B. Smith, and Matthew Driller
Purpose: Although the acute effects of cold-water immersion (CWI) have been widely investigated, research analyzing the effects of CWI over a chronic period in highly trained athletes is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CWI during an intense 3-wk preseason phase in elite rugby athletes. Methods : A total of 23 elite male rugby union athletes were randomized to either CWI (10 min at 10°C, n = 10) or a passive recovery control (CON, n = 13) during 3 wk of high-volume training. Athletes were exposed to either CWI or CON after each training day (12 d in total). Running loads, conditioning, and gym sessions were kept the same between groups. Measures of countermovement jump, perceived muscle soreness, and wellness were obtained twice a week, and saliva samples for determining cortisol and interleukin-6 were collected once per week. Results : Although no significant differences were observed between CWI and CON for any measure, CWI resulted in lower fatigue markers throughout the study as demonstrated by the moderate effects on muscle soreness (d = 0.58–0.91) and interleukin-6 (d = −0.83) and the small effects (d = 0.23–0.38) on countermovement jump in comparison with CON. Conclusions : CWI may provide some beneficial effect by reducing fatigue and soreness during an intense 3-wk training phase in elite rugby athletes.

A 0.1% L-Menthol Mouth Swill in Elite Male Rugby Players Has Different Effects in Forwards and Backs
Marcia L. Jerram, Dane Baker, Tiaki B. Smith, Phil Healey, Lee Taylor, and Katherine Black
Purpose: Menthol mouth swills can improve endurance performance in the heat, which is attributed to attenuations in nonthermally derived thermal sensation (TS) and perception of effort. However, research in elite team-sport athletes is absent. Therefore, this study investigated the performance and TS responses to a 0.1% menthol mouth rinse (MR) or placebo (PLA) among elite male rugby union players. Method: Twenty-seven (15 Forwards and 12 Backs) elite male Super Rugby players completed two 3-minute 15-a-side rugby-specific conditioning blocks, with MR or PLA provided at the start of training (baseline), at the start of each 3-minute block (swill 1 [S1] and swill 2 [S2]), and at the end of training (swill 3 [S3]). TS was assessed using the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers 9-point Analog Sensation Scale after each swill and at baseline (preconditioning block). Acceptability was measured after baseline swill and S3 using a 5-question Likert scale. Physical performance was measured throughout training using global positioning system metrics. Results: MR attenuated TS from baseline to S1 (P = .003, SD = 1.01) and S2 (P = .002, SD = 1.09) in Forwards only, compared with PLA. Acceptability was higher only for Forwards in MR versus PLA at baseline (P = .003, SD = 1.3) and S3 (P = .004, SD = 0.75). MR had no effect on physical performance metrics (P > .05). Conclusion: MR attenuated the rise in TS with higher acceptability at S1 and S3 (in Forwards only) with no effect on selected physical performance metrics. Longer-duration exercise (eg, a match) in hot–humid conditions eliciting markedly increased body temperatures could theoretically allow favorable changes in TS to enhance performance—these postulations warrant experimental investigation.

The Eagles 35-21 Homecoming victory over China Springs was just the confidence boost needed after their loss to Robinson Rockets.
The Eagles may have started their night off a little sluggish, but soon fell into a great rhythm when all their hard work and dedication paid off big as they head into their bye week with a 4-1 record.

Community in Schools (CIS) was the main focus of the school board meeting held last Tuesday.
The CIS organization, founded by the TEA, serves 1.3 million children, 600,000 of which are in Texas.
They're spread out over six different districts and 53 counties.
The AT&T grant for this program is $895,000, the second largest AT&T grant.
The Fairfield Eagles will battle it out with the China Springs Cougars at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, at the Homecoming game.
China Springs is ranked 166 in the State of Texas, with a record 3-1 on the year.
The number 81 might not mean a lot to most people, but for offensive football players, who see the Fairfield Eagles linebacker Devin Eggins, - number 81 - who stands at a mere 5 foot, 8 inches and 145 pounds, it means speed, ferocity, and strength...and a lot of tackles!
The senior Eagle Eggins ended his season last year with a career best 202 tackles in just 16 games.

'My life with 2ft 8in sex-obsessed Austin Powers star Verne Troyer'
Celebrity BB star Verne Troyer was a tight-fisted control freak obsessed with sex and spending his days reading about himself on the web, according to his ex-lover,
Tiny Verne, just 2ft 8ins tall, made a million dollars playing Mini Me in the Austin Powers movies – but he wined and dined actress Ranae Shrider in McDonald's and gave her jewellery "from an arcade machine".
Ranae, who at 5ft 6ins towered above Verne, says he ordered her around "like a slave". She ran his errands and read out his bizarre fan mail while he spent all day googling his own name.
She says Verne – then aged 40 – reduced her to tears through his mean behaviour and dangerously heavy drinking.
He and Ranae, then 23, had a six-month fling after meeting at at a New Year's Eve party thrown by the late Playboy boss Hugh Hefner at his Hollywood mansion.
Soon afterwards, they moved in together, with Verne allowing hard-up Ranae, working as a waitress in a fast-food restaurant between acting jobs, to pay half of the rent.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror as Verne arrived in the UK to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, she said: "There are two sides to Verne: One is a fun and silly man with a great sense of humour who is lots of fun to be around.
"The other is a horrible, mean-spirited person who is angry at the world and drinks himself close to death to forget how depressed he is."
The couple split in July 2008 after a home movie Verne had filmed of them having sex was leaked on to the internet.
Ranae says: "Verne was so cheap. On Valentines Day he phoned from Las Vegas and told me he had bought me a five-carat diamond ring.
"I was so excited as I had never had a diamond ring before. But by the time he got home to Los Angeles he claimed he had lost it. We spent ages searching through his bags.
"I realised he was lying when I suggested we phone the diamond store and he refused. In the end he got me a pair of Puma trainers – but I later found out he got them as a freebie."
Verne tried to make up for the non-existent diamond ring the following month by buying Ranae a "diamond" necklace.
She said: "After we broke up I took it to a pawn shop. The man there bit into it and left teeth marks.
"It was so embarrassing. The man said it was the type of necklace someone would get out of an arcade machine."
Ranae says she initially felt no attraction for Verne, and when he asked for her number at the party she gave it to him "as a joke".
But he called at 10am the next day and she agreed to meet him out of curiosity.
She said: "Our first date was at his house. We just watched American Idol and played video games. Back then Verne was living in a guesthouse at the back of his manager's house.
"It was a specially designed for him, with a miniature futon and miniature bathroom and so on, with the lights all on a lower level so he could reach them.
"But I wasn't freaked out. I'm an odd person myself and not a lot weirds me out. I don't date normal people!
"I started going to his house every evening and before long I started falling for him. We had our first kiss after the first few dates.
"We were lying on the bed and I just leaned over and kissed him.
"Verne is a good kisser and he seemed like a pretty cool guy – and that was the attraction. But first impressions can be deceptive."
Ranae says she held out for a month before sleeping with Verne – then decided she would only to test her true feelings for him.
But their first night together was anything but romantic.
Ranae said: "To be honest, most of the night was horrible. I closed my eyes and thought 'charity work', meaning I was doing it for him and not me."
Ranae claims their sex life never got any better – much to the frustration of Verne.
"In the time we were together we made love only six times as I would always find excuses for why I couldn't do it," she said.
"Verne would get mad and tell me that if we were not having sex we could never be anything more than friends.
"I wanted to be his girlfriend, but I never enjoyed the sexual part of our relationship."
Despite their problems, in March 2009 the couple decided to rent an apartment.
Verne claimed he had "cashflow problems", so Ranae volunteered to pay half of the £1,100-a-month rent, thinking he would be too gallant to accept. But he did, without hesitation.
Ranae said: "Verne was a nightmare to live with. He refused to do anything for himself and would order me around like a slave.
"It's not that he couldn't take care of himself, because he is perfectly fine now I am gone.
"But I think he used my niceness against me – he knew I wouldn't complain.
"And I think having someone wait on him made him feel like more of a celebrity.
"In the morning I would have to lay out all his fan mail in an assembly line. He would make me read them to him.
"Then he would sign a picture of himself and put it in an envelope to be sent back to the fan. I would then have to take all these letters to the post office .
"I was like his assistant but he never paid me. Before I left the house I would have to open the top of every drink bottle as Verne's wrists are too weak.
"After that I would buy his groceries and carry them home and cook dinner, although most days all Verne would eat would be a blueberry muffin and then he'd be full. And not once did I get a thank-you."
Verne, who had dwarfism, had a long battle with alcoholism – at one point knocking back a bottle of spirits and a six-pack of beer in a day despite his tiny frame.
But Ranae says that she was able to get him to cut back.
"He would only drink excessively when he was with other people," she said.
"Once I went to a karaoke bar with him and his manager and in two hours he had knocked back four beers and four tequilas, which for a man his size is very dangerous.
"And Verne is horrible when he drinks – mean and aggressive.
"Sometimes when he was away he would call me up in the middle of the night crying like a baby because he felt guilty he had been drinking.
"I caught him cheating numerous times when we were together. Sometimes I found out by looking at his phone and seeing text messages he had sent to other girls."
But Ranae said she would have been able to forgive Verne's bad behaviour if he had been more romantic.
She said: "Verne never wanted to go out as he hates people staring at him because of his size.
"Most of the time he sat at home playing video games or googling himself. He loved reading about himself or watching himself on TV – he's obsessed with his celebrity.
"When we did go out it was normally to Taco Bell or McDonald's. There were only about three times he took me to nice restaurants and then it was embarrassing because the waitress would have to stack phone books on his seat so he could get to the level of the table."
The couple split after their raunchy video was made public and Ranae says there is no prospect of a reconciliation.
She said: "Being with him was horrible. It was like being with a child."
And she said that the Mini Me actor would show a full-size ego in the BB house.
Ranae says: "Verne once told me he would never go on Celebrity Big Brother as it is for has-beens and he is a real actor.
"He will be thinking everyone around him is a has-been and he is like Brad Pitt.
"It would be great TV if they put me in there… sparks would definitely be flying."

As my blade makes its way through a cool, ripe Stilwell strawberry, I breathe in the heady sweetness wafting upwards and across my face.
It's Mother's Day, and I've just returned from a two-day road trip to places I've not been, visiting with people I've only just met, with one daughter at my side.
A gathering of family on Mother's Day brought my other daughter to my side accompanied by her man. Along with them came my husband, and we all celebrated his mother by eating food she had prepared for us on the day she should have rested, and received.
The berries for our dessert had been left behind, so we joyfully ate cake with whipped topping and drank our tea.
Tonight in my own kitchen, as I finish cleaning the berries previously selected for today's dessert, I close my eyes and remember the slice of homemade pound cake with orange glaze. I pretend to spoon my just-prepared berries over the cake, lift a full bite to my mouth, and enjoy the sweet goodness of Mother's Day.
Thank you, God, for my own mother who helped me learn to prepare food, for my mother-in-law who prepared our food today, for my two daughters who are standing on their own as they continue to prepare food leaps and bounds over my historical 20-something capacity. Thank you, God, for the sweet goodness of Mother's Day.
So incredibly sweet and good.

Somali Man Launches Machete Attack in Columbus, Ohio
Posted on February 13, 2016 by Gordon King
Nazareth Restaurant KANTELE FRANKOAP
A Somali man charged into a Columbus, Ohio, restaurant on Thursday evening and immediately began attacking innocent patrons with a machete, according to reports
(SOURCE) Four people were injured in the brutal attack Thursday evening at Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, a Mediterranean restaurant in Columbus. The victims were taken to an area hospital and were expected to recover," CBS reports.
"Police identified the suspected attacker as Mohamed Barry, 30 … [CBS News homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues] reports the suspected attacker has a Somali background, and officials believe he may have traveled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in 2012."
The Columbus Dispatch reports that "The owner of the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli said he believes his business was targeted because of his Israeli descent."
Columbus and the larger central Ohio area is home to the second largest Somali population in the country.
Yet many Republican lawmakers seem unaware of the social and cultural impact that large-scale Muslim migration has had in their own backyards. For instance, in an October interview, Breitbart News asked House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan about the vast number of Muslim migrants that have resettled in Ohio. Specifically, Breitbart News asked Jordan about reports that document how, as a result of large-scale Muslim migration, more than 20,000 girls in Ohio are at risk of having their sexual organs cut from their bodies through the non-Western practice of female genital mutilation.
Upon learning of these reports for perhaps the first time through Breitbart News's questioning, Jordan replied, "In Ohio? Wow."
At the time, Jordan told Breitbart that he had not considered whether Muslim migration into the United States ought to be reduced. When Breitbart asked if Jordan thought the nation's policy of annually importing a quarter of a million Muslim migrants into the United States ought to be curbed, Jordan replied, "I'd have to look at that closer. I have not looked at that particular."
The Middle East represents the fastest-growing bloc of immigrants admitted into the country on visas, according to a census data-based report authored by the Center for Immigration Studies. Student visas for Middle Eastern countries have similarly grown enormously, including a 16-fold increase in Saudi students since 9/11. Arabic is now the most common language spoken by refugees, and 91.4 percent of recent refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps. As a result of unbridled Muslim immigration, half a million U.S. girls are now at risk of suffering the barbaric and anti-Western tradition of female genital mutilation.

Q: Ubuntu 13.10 won't wake up after suspend I have some difficulties with Ubuntu 13.10 (3.11.0-14-generic) and waking up from suspend state. Screen just goes blank, and there is some kind of prompt blink in upper right corner after I just need to restart my computer.
Specs:

*

*DE: Gnome

*Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz

*GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2

*with: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, nvidia-331 (open source)

*16 GB of RAM

*(/ folder on SSD Drive, /home on HDD)

P.S.
Nvidia graphic driver works perfectly without any glitches.
Thanks for any help you can provide..

A: If the problem is that the system isn't turning your LCD backlight back on, then you can probably turn it back on manually..
Alt+F1 (go to a text virtual console) and then Alt+F7 (go back to the graphical X display)
The Alt+F1 should cause the backlight to come on, and then you can get back to your session with the Alt+F7
You might need to adjust the screen brightness with function keys on a laptop. This is if it is turning on the backlight but just at the lowest brightness.
There are multiple cases of this, not related to this card directly.

A: I had this very same problem and was wrestling with it for weeks. If you're still having problems try this: Disable Apport at Boot.
You need to manually edit a file to stop Apport running at boot (when you turn on your machine). Open the Terminal, and paste the following command with Ctrl+Shift+V, or type it in manually:
sudo nano /etc/default/apport

Change the line that says enabled=1 to enabled=0 to disable Apport. To re-enable, change it back.

Shah Rukh said yes to 'Tubelight' in one phone call: Salman
The Kabir Khan-directed movie, which hits the theatres on June 23, is set against the backdrop of the 1962 India-China war.
While Sohail Khan is in the role of a soldier, Salman plays his simpleton brother.
The movie is an official adaptation of the 2015 American war drama Little Boy.
Superstar Salman Khan says it took just a phone call to convince Shah Rukh Khan to do a special appearance in his film "Tubelight".
The Kabir Khan-directed movie, which hits the theatres on June 23, is set against the backdrop of the 1962 India-China war. While Sohail Khan is in the role of a soldier, Salman plays his simpleton brother.
The actor said the Shah Rukh didn't even listen to the entire conversation before saying yes. "When Kabir narrated the subject to me, he said for this role we should get Shah Rukh. So, I called up Shah Rukh and told him, 'In Tubelight, there's this small', and he cut me, saying, 'It's done'. He didn't even let me complete the sentence. He just said 'it's done'," Salman told reporters here.
The actor was speaking at a special event last night where they introduced child actor Matin Rey Tangu to the media.
The five-year-old actor, who hails from Itanagar, plays an integral part in Tubelight.
Salman said with "Tubelight", Tangu will become as popular as Harshali Malhotra, his co-star in Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Q: Can I rely on the 701 permissions to prevent users within the same group from messing with each other's data? Some time ago I've learned that assigning all users to the same group and setting 701 to their home directories prevents them from messing with each other's data, yet lets a system program, such as a web-server, to access the data.
So I create a group users then two users, alice:users and bob:users with /opt/www/alice and /opt/www/bob home directories respectively. Then, after logging under alice I am unable to enter /opt/www/bob and vice versa.
So it seems to me that permissions aren't always checked for the every type (user, group, everyone) but rather gradually, essentially stopping after a negative match. I.e, in my case

*

*when a user from the same group tries to open the directory:

*

*first, we are checking a user, it is not the same but 7 let us go further

*then 0 stops us from accessing the the directory and also stops the further permissions checking

*so we don't fall into x-for-everyone case from 1

*while for a user from the the different group:

*

*first, we are checking a user, it is not the same but 7 let us go further

*then we are checking for a group, it is 0 but the group is different, so it let's us pass

*so we're able to open the directory thanks to 1 being "everyone" to this directory

Is this conjecture correct? Can I rely on this behavior? What are possible downsides from this setup?

A: I think you've got it slightly wrong, but the outcome is the same. 701 means that:

*

*the user marked as owner gets full permissions, 7

*a user in the group marked as the group owner gets no permissions, 0

*everyone gets execute permissions, 1
So if the owner & permissions on /opt/www/bob are bob:users and 701 respectively, then bob gets full permissions and everyone can 'execute' the directory. This means anyone would be able to access their own files or group owned files within the folder, but they can't list the contents.
Example:
$> mkdir test
$> echo 'foo' > test/foo.txt
$> chmod 100 test/
$> ls -l test/
Permission denied
$> cat test/foo.txt
foo
$>

So yes, other users in the group would have no permissions, but everyone has execute permissions. You'd be better to set the permissions to 740 if you want to allow the group to read and no one else. Or 741 to achieve what you have, but be a bit clearer?

Horizon Hobby Returning to Back Front Row Motorsports in 2023
Leave a Comment / NASCAR / By akrambakha678
Horizon Hobby will return to Front Row Motorsports as a primary sponsor of both Michael McDowell and Zane Smith in 2023. PC: David Rosenblum | Courtesy of Ford Performance
Horizon Hobby, a global leader in remote-control products, will return to Front Row Motorsports as a primary sponsor of the organization's NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series programs in 2023, the team announced Thursday.
In addition to primary sponsorship of both Michael McDowell and Zane Smith, Horizon Hobby has partnered with Front Row Motorsports in hopes of forging ahead with innovative ideas to connect the NASCAR and RC communities.
Similar to last season, Horizon Hobby will be displayed as the primary sponsor of the No. 34 Ford Mustangs in two NASCAR Cup Series events in 2023, beginning with the second points-paying event of the season at Auto Club Speedway.
The event in Fontana, California is home to the surface product development and marketing team that is responsible for the first-ever licensed NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series RC bodies, in the likeness of McDowell and Smith's respective vehicles.
Horizon Hobby will return as a primary sponsor for McDowell's No. 34 Ford Mustang at Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Road Course (August 13), which will serve as a homecoming for the Champaign, Illinois-based company.
The company will also serve as a season-long associate sponsor of Michael McDowell's No. 34 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series.
"Last season I had the chance to partner with Horizon Hobby and go to their world-famous flying field called Eli Field with my family," commented McDowell. "You can immediately tell that Horizon Hobby has great people working for them. And it's helped me return my passion for RC and pass it along to my children, too. That was a highlight for me away from the track and you just can't beat the products from Horizon Hobby."
ARRMA RC, a Horizon Hobby brand, will once again adorn the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entry for Zane Smith, the series' defending champion, when the series returns to World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois in June.
Smith will look to bring the No. 38 Ford F-150 to victory lane in the mid-summer event, something he was able to do on four occasions throughout the 2022 NASCAR Truck Series season, en-route to the championship.
"Horizon Hobby has been such a cool partner to work with," said Smith. "My passion for racing and motorsports began with RC as a kid. Now, I have an ARRMA Infraction replica truck body hanging on the wall in my trophy room, right next to the 2022 Truck Series Championship trophy that they were a part of. I am excited to have them back on board as we chase another championship this year."
Last year, Horizon Hobby hosted guests from local hobby shops across the country at NASCAR events every weekend, while Front Row Motorsports' drivers and team members were often seen bashing, flying, or boating across social media. The fun will continue into the 2023 NASCAR season.
"We are ready to grow and bring new ideas to our partnership with Front Row Motorsports into 2023," said Chris Dickerson, Chief Executive Officer, Horizon Hobby. "The program in 2022 grew in popularity with our customers and fans, and it's an authentic partnership proven by the passion that Michael, Zane, and the NASCAR community have for our products. We can't wait to see what this season brings."
McDowell and Front Row Motorsports come off a career-high season in 2022, where the driver of the No. 34 Ford Mustang recorded an incredible 12 top-10 results, the most in a single-season for a Front Row Motorsports driver.

Prince's Estate Has Had Enough Of Trump Playing His Music At His Hate Rallies
While Prince was not necessarily a political artist, he often talked about race, poverty and faith in his music. He was not associated with a particular political party, and he was also open about never voting. "Well, I don't vote," Prince famously told Tavis Smiley while discussing Barack Obama in 2009. "I've don't have nothing to do with it. I've got no dog in that race." Prince cited his faith for not participating in any elections. "The reason why is that I'm one of the Jehovah's Witnesses and we've never voted," he continued. "That's not to say I don't think … President Obama is a very smart individual and he seems like he means well. Prophecy is what we all have to go by now." https://newsone.com/3889647/prince-estate-trump-rally-music/
Among the revelations in this great piece about Prince is that before he died, he wanted to write a book that would "dismantle" Ayn Rand's legacy and "attack the whole notion of supremacy."

Prince's Estate Demands Trump Stop Playing His Music At Rallies
Jack Ryan posted a topic in Jehovah's Witnesses's Topics
Prince's estate released a statement. At a rally in Mississippi, Trump bizarrely played Prince's iconic 1984 song "Purple Rain." Prince's estate was not here for it. "The Prince Estate has never given permission to President Trump or The White House to use Prince's songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately," Prince's estate said in a statement via Jeremiah Freed, also known as Dr. Funkenberry. Here is a video below of the song being played at the Trump rally: While Prince was certainly a political artist, he often talked about race, poverty and faith in his music. He was not associated with a particular political party, and he was also open about never voting. In 2009, Prince told Tavis Smiley about President Barack Obama, "Well, I don't vote.

I Beat The CBS Oxycotin Story by Two Years
TrueTomHarley posted a topic in Health & Medicine's Topics
I beat CBS to the punch by two years in what they said about the Oxycotin pharma fraud. It is in the Prince chapter of Tom Irregardless and Me, there because Prince died a victim of that fraud. Since the Prince chapter is Chapter 1, it is even in the free preview section. I didn't mention the company or the drug by name. I followed the lead of Watchtower publications, which I have come to understand their reasons mostly through imitating them. You do not name a villain, for as soon as you name one, you create the impression that removing that villain will fix things. Instead, if you should succeed in taking him out, another villain immediately steps into his shoes and the play continues with barely a hiccup. It is the play we are watching, not the heroes and villains in it. You do not have to know the names of the actors to follow the play – it can even be a distraction if you do. The names don't matter. If one actor doesn't show up for curtain call, they simply plug in a substitute, and the play continues. 'Tom Irregardless and Me', in the Prince chapter, quotes a Dr. Johnson, who wrote to say he was "forced to paint an unflattering picture of the industry that I have been a part of for the last 15 years. I wish I could tell you that this epidemic was due to an honest mistake. That the science was unclear or had mixed results that only later became evident. But I can't. I also wish I could tell you that the only reason the problem persists is a 'lack of physician awareness.' But I won't. The reason this opioid problem started and the reason it continues is sadly for the most American reason there is - business." At one time, Dr. Johnson points out, American doctors prescribed opioids as did doctors everywhere: for pain relief from cancer or acute injury. He then tells of a drug company, introducing a new opioid product in 1996, that swung for the fences. It didn't want to target just cancer patients. It wanted to target everyone experiencing everyday pain: joint pain and back pain, for example: "To do this, they recruited and paid experts in the field of pain medicine to spread the message that these medicines were not as addictive as previously thought...As a physician in training, I remember being told that the risk of addiction for patients taking opioids for pain was 'less than one percent.' What I was not told was that there was no good science to suggest rates of addiction were really that low. That 'less than one percent' statistic came from a five-sentence paragraph in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1980. It has come to be known as the Porter and Jick study. However, it was not really a study. It was a letter to the editor; more like a tweet. You can read the whole thing in 90 seconds." The CBS story of 5 days ago reveals a former drug rep of the company who spills for them.. I had it all two years ago, and it is even more damning. I didn't put it in the book because illuminating Prince's JW life was the object of the chapter, not crusading against pharma. In fact, not only was the drug far more addictive than doctors and reps were led to believe, but the pain relief it delivered only lasted a few hours, not the 12 that was advertised. Yet, when complaints of such were received, the company would not permit reps to advise patients take it more often, since that exposed the fact that the much more expensive drug was no better than what was already being used for pain. Instead, the advice was to increase the dosage, and that obviously served to intensify the addictive quality. Prince and millions like him got hooked on a drug that the doctor prescribed, and when doctors started to get squirrelly, withholding supply for fear of what they were unleashing, these ones were driven to the black market to find substitutes. Trying to trash anything organizationally related, @James Thomas Rook Jr.threw in my face that Prince died an addicted druggie. I never truly forgave him for that, but I am ready to now, as I assume he did not know the whole story, just as ones do not know the whole story about abuse allegations. It is here in the first chapter, Prince, which, to my knowledge, is the most complete, and perhaps only, published collection of the artist's JW experiences and interactions. And it is in the free section. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/686882

Prince-and-Michael-Jackson

Sadly, they both died much too young -- Jackson on June 25, 2010, and Prince on April 21, 2016. Rest in peace.
Michael-Jackson-Talks-To-Oprah-Interview-michael-jackson-7496459-1200-790
Jackson, the King of Pop, named one of his children Prince, which only fueled speculation about his feelings toward the elder Prince.
prince-2
"I ain't never had my nose done!" Prince announced at a March 2004 concert, while Jackson was on trial. Some in the crowd took it as a shot at Jackson, who was later found not guilty of the criminal accusations.
michael.jackson.legacy
Though Prince portrayed himself as dirty-minded, he noted the irony of Michael Jackson being embroiled in scandal in 2004. "What are my contemporaries doing now?" he said in an Associated Press interview, while Jackson was on trial accused of child molestation. "I'm not entangled in a bunch of lawsuits and a web that I can't get out of. I can hold my head up ... a happily married man who has his head in order. There isn't a bunch of scandal in my life."
Prince-Michael-Jackson-revolution
Michael Jackson played with the concept of revolution, artistically, by dressing like the leader of a military coup. Prince led the Revolution.
Prince-Cross
Both were Jehovah's Witnesses. Jackson reportedly proselytized door-to-door near his family's home in Encino, Calif. Prince often sang about God and Jesus, including in "I Would Die 4 U." He backed away from some of his dirtier lyrics as he embraced his religion more strongly.
Prince-and-Michael-Jackson-2
Their race and sexuality were constantly questioned at the peak of their popularity. Both played with the clueless speculation with androgynous wardrobe choices, and their lyrics. "Am I black or white/am I straight or gay?" Prince sang on "Controversy." "Who's black/who's white," Jackson sang on "Black or White."
We-are-the-World
In 1985, when Prince and Michael Jackson dominated the charts, Prince was criticized for not performing on "We Are the World," a song co-written by Jackson to help starving African children. Prince was reportedly too shy to perform with his fellow artists. Prince & the Revolution did record a gorgeous song for the "We Are the World" album -- "4 the Tears in Your Eyes."
When-Doves-Cry
Both Prince and Michael Jackson were crossover artists who were among the only African-Americans whose videos were played in the early days of MTV.
Prince-Michael-Jackson-afro
Prince and Michael Jackson were both Midwesterners born in 1958: Prince in Minneapolis, on June 7, and Michael Jackson in Gary, Indiana, on August 29. If you can't tell from this picture, both blew up in the 1970s.

"Demoníaco": así consideraba Prince lo que le hizo Justin Timberlake en el Super Bowl
Guest posted a topic in Testigos de Jehová's Tema
Veinte años antes, en una entrevista con la revista Guitar World Magazine, el cantante y compositor que murió el 21 de abril de 2016 por una sobredosis de medicamentos, consignó su rechazo hacia las tecnologías digitales que se popularizaban para manipular y rescatar las voces de cantantes muertos. "Ciertamente no. Esa es la cosa más demoníaca imaginable. Todo es como es y como debería ser. Si hubiera sido mi destino tocar con Duke Ellington (un compositor americano que murió en 1974), habríamos vivido en la misma época. Toda esa realidad virtual... es realmente demoníaca. Yo no soy un demonio", respondió por las técnicas que permitían juntar voces que habitan en planos diferentes. "Además, lo que hicieron con la canción de los Beatles ['Free As a Bird'], manipular la voz de John Lennon para que cantara desde el otro lado de la tumba... eso nunca me pasará. Para evitar que este tipo de situación ocurra, es otra de las razones por las que quiero el control artístico", agregó el también guitarrista, que pertenecía a los Testigos de Jehová. Estas palabras de Prince retumbaban en la memoria de sus familiares y amigos, quienes en la víspera del juego entre los Eagles de Filadelfia y los Patrios de Nueva Inglaterra tomaron las redes sociales para expresarse en contra del uso del holograma. La disputa se armó tan pronto trascendió que el exmiembro del grupo NSYNC reviviría al enigmático cantante y compositor en su homenaje mediante dicha tecnología.

Jamming With Prince Will Have to Wait

"I would have enjoyed jamming with Prince. Not musically, of course - I can't play guitar – but spiritually, in the ministry. We would have been seamless together; we're on the same page – all Witnesses are. But it wasn't to be in this system of things. Prince was always busy. And I was – well, no – I would have found the time. But in the new system it will happen. I'm looking forward to it. In fact, a few hundred years on, once I've learned to play guitar, we'll even jam together musically.

Prince's death puts unprecedented spotlight on Jehovah's Witnesses❤
Queen Esther posted a topic in Jehovah's Witnesses's Topics
Prince's death puts spotlight on Jehovah's Witnesses ❤ Prince's death has put an unprecedeted spotlight on his JW - in suburban Minneapolis, as well as the Jehovah's Witness faith nationally. 'We lost a spiritual brother' in Prince'.... For more than a decade, Prince spent many Sunday mornings inside a simple Jehovah's Witnesses hall in a Minneapolis suburb, listening to Bible readings, sharing his insights in group discussions, and singing such hymns as "God's Promise of Paradise" and "Be Forgiving." "His beliefs were very, very strong," said Larry Graham, a close friend who introduced Prince to the faith. While the superstar was comfortable door-knocking in Minnesota to spread the Bible's message — a requirement for all Witnesses — he also tried to spread Jehovah's teachings to musicians and others in his circle, Graham said. "It's a side of him most people don't know," he said. As Prince fans across the globe await an explanation of his unexpected death on April 21, worshipers at this St. Louis Park church remember a modest guy who would slip into the fellowship hall on Sundays with zero fanfare. Ironically, in death, he has put an unprecedented spotlight on his church. Warner Bros. plans vinyl reissues of Prince's 1985-1992 albums 7 charities to give to in honor of Prince's memory "We're seeing a tremendous surge in interest," said Jim Lundstrom, a church elder in St. Louis Park. "I've gotten calls from Paris, London, Africa … and all points in between. Now our name is coming to the fore." Like the others in this church, Prince didn't fear death, because he believed in a future earthly paradise. But, Graham said, the superstar was not planning to make his worldly exit yet. Graham said he knew nothing of opioid painkillers, now the focus of Prince's death investigation. Graham also denied claims that Prince couldn't have hip surgery because his faith prohibited blood transfusions. While Jehovah's Witnesses can't get blood transfusions, medical technology offers alternatives, Graham said. In fact, Lundstrom belongs to a national network of hospital liaisons who help church members at the Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota and elsewhere receive optimal care without transfusions. "We recognize that life is a gift from God," said Graham, a bass player for the 1960s funk band Sly and the Family Stone. "Any medical treatment that will make us well again, we seek that." Prince's Sunday home About 70 people sat with Bible study pamphlets on their laps at Prince's Jehovah's Witnesses hall last Sunday. It's a simple room, with no crucifixes or religious symbols — just comfortable chairs and plenty of Bibles and Watchtower publications available at the door. "He'd usually sit over there," said one member, gesturing to the rows center and back. The nearly two-hour service opened with a hymn, and then a guest speaker preached about the Bible being an "owner's manual for our lives." That was followed by an hourlong, engaging discussion about loyalty to God, during which worshipers answered questions such as: "How can you be loyal to both Jehovah and your friend or relative?" The service ended with a simple prayer and a song, and folks meandered out the door. Prince's path to this church began at an after-concert party in Nashville about 20 years ago, Graham said. Prince and Graham, both performing in town that night, found themselves talking about life's big questions. Prince later asked Graham, a member of Jehovah's Witnesses since 1975, if he would consider moving to Minneapolis to continue teaching him the Bible. Graham, at the time living in Montego Bay, Jamaica, said yes. He has been Prince's spiritual mentor and close friend ever since. "We started studying the Bible on a regular basis," recalled Graham. "And the more he learned, the more questions he had, like: 'Why are we here? Where is everything heading? What's the future for mankind, for the Earth?' " Prince also learned that Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas and Easter, for example, because those holidays have roots in pagan traditions. They do not serve in the military. They view Jesus as the son of God, but not God, and they don't believe in a trinity. They pray to God, called Jehovah, who will return to rule a paradise on Earth. Prince, known as "Brother Nelson," joined Jehovah's Witnesses in 2003. The church was a beneficiary of Prince's philanthropy, but it's difficult to say how much he gave. Collection plates are not passed. Giving is done privately, often in cash and often at a church table with two slots marked "Local Congregation Expenses" and "Worldwide Work." No will for Prince has surfaced, and Graham said he was unaware if Jehovah's Witnesses would benefit from a $100-million-plus estate now being claimed by Prince's family members. Near the giving table is a large map of St. Louis Park, with every street on a grid that is used for door-to-door ministry. "We have the whole world [mapped]," said George Cook, a church elder eyeing the map. "We're very organized." There are about 8 million Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide, he said, and about 15,000 are Minnesotans. Ministry, Prince style It wasn't uncommon for Prince and Graham — or Prince and other church members — to grab their Bibles and head out to neighborhoods. Sometimes people recognized their famous visitor, sometimes not. He enjoyed it, Graham said. And having a celebrity like Prince as a visible supporter made others more interested in checking out the religion, he said. But Prince's ministry extended beyond the city map. "If there was some visitor at Paisley Park, they could sit down and have a conversation," said Graham. "It could be after a show. Or you could just be out and about, and run into people, and just start talking about the Bible. Many, many kinds of settings. "He would never try to force his beliefs on anyone. But he was always willing to share the things he learned in the Bible." One thing Prince learned was to be "a positive person," Graham said. He ate and drank in moderation. He stopped cursing. And he stopped writing the raunchy lyrics that characterized some of his early work. Prince also was at Graham's side at various Jehovah's Witnesses conferences, digging deeper into an unusual faith he credited with turning his life around. "[The Bible] helps you with every aspect of your life," Prince said in a 2004 interview. "Once you can clean out the cobwebs, so to speak, you can see everything more clearly." A type of protection When asked why a free-spirited musician would choose a structured faith, Graham said that's not how he — or Prince — saw it. "It's not really restrictive. It's more like a protection from things that could possibly harm us," Graham said. "So it's a positive thing … and making you a better person." Prince was particularly drawn to biblical messages of a hopeful future, he said. One of his favorite passages was Revelations 21:3-4, which states that God ultimately will dwell with his people and that "death will be no more." "The resurrection and the hope for the future — and many more [passages] — we discussed many weeks and many months and years," Graham said. "A lot of people will remember Prince for his music," he added. "But he'd also want people to know what he learned from the Bible. We lost a really good friend and a spiritual brother."

Will you be part of Scotland's biggest running weekend? Edinburgh Marathon Festival (25/26 May) is the most colourful and exciting event on the Scottish race calendar and now MND Scotland is inviting YOU to join them in the Scottish capital this spring.
MND Scotland has free charity places available in all the major EMF races, including the marathon, half marathon, team relay, 10K and 5K.
MND is a rapidly progressing terminal illness, which stops signals from the brain reaching the muscles. This may cause someone to lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, drink or breathe unaided. There is currently no cure or effective treatment for MND and the average life expectancy from diagnosis is just 20 months.
Run for MND Scotland at Edinburgh Marathon Festival to help support people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND) across Scotland.

Status: Fairly common to locally common summer resident, mostly east.
Blue-winged Teal are small dabblers with long bodies and bills. Males in breeding plumage have russet-colored bodies with small, dark spots, black undertail coverts, and white patches on their flanks. Their heads are dark blue-gray with a distinctive white crescent in front of each eye. Males are in non-breeding or eclipse plumage from July to October, during which time they look like females and can easily be confused with Cinnamon Teal in the same plumage. Juveniles and females are mottled brown with a dark bill and yellowish legs. Both males and females have green-black speculums, with pale blue patches on the forewing.
Blue-winged Teal inhabit shallow wetlands with emergent vegetation. Their breeding habitat is usually open-country wetlands. During migration they are sometimes found over the ocean, many miles from shore.
Fast and agile flyers, Blue-winged Teal are often seen in small flocks, twisting and turning as a single unit. When foraging they usually stick to very shallow water, plucking food items from the surface and swimming with their heads partially submerged. They do not tend to up-end or feed out of the water.
Like other dabblers, Blue-winged Teal eat grass and aquatic plant seeds, as well as insects and other aquatic invertebrates. These invertebrates make up a larger proportion of their diet than that of other dabblers.
Pair formation begins in the winter and continues through spring migration. Blue-winged Teal nest on the ground in prairies, coastal meadows, and other open areas. Nests are usually near water, but may be several hundred yards away. The nest is a shallow depression with some grass or weeds, lined with down and usually well concealed by vegetation. The female incubates 9 to 13 eggs alone for 23 to 24 days. The young leave the nest within a day of hatching and can swim and find their own food immediately. The female continues to protect and tend them for a few weeks, but she leaves them before they are old enough to fly, which happens around 38 to 49 days.
Blue-winged Teal are highly migratory and are, for the most part, absent from the majority of North America during the cold months of the year. They winter more extensively in South America than any other dabbler. They begin migrating later in spring than other dabblers, with birds arriving on the coast as early as March, but mostly not before April and May. Single males arrive first, with pairs and unpaired females following. Males migrate again from mid-July to mid-August, moving to larger marshes to undergo their molt. Fall migration starts in early August, and most birds are gone by mid-October.
Numbers of Blue-winged Teal nesting in Washington have increased dramatically in the last century. Blue-winged Teal now outnumber Cinnamon Teal in some parts of eastern Washington. This shift is most likely due to large damming projects that have converted small wetlands into large reservoirs more favorable to the Blue-winged than the Cinnamon Teal.
Blue-winged Teal are extremely rare in Washington during winter. They typically arrive in mid-April and depart by the end of September. West of the Cascades they are uncommon breeders, and their range is somewhat limited to freshwater wetlands in the Puget Trough and coastal areas. In eastern Washington, they are common in wetlands throughout the region.


I confess up front I didn't watch last week's CBC leaders' debate. There was a book launch — mine — at the same time and, well, you have to have your priorities.
To make matters worse for a political columnist, I must also acknowledge I didn't watch the full online, blow-by-blow, health-care-by-power-rates replay of the 90-minute show.
By the time I could have done so, I already knew from other unimpeachable sources — those who came late to my book launch so they could watch — there were no revelatory moments, no election game changers. There was no tub-thumping, finger-pointing Brian Mulroney declaring you-had-a-choice-sir to a deflating-before-our-eyes John Turner, no excruciating seven-and-a-half seconds of screaming silence from Nova Scotia's soon-to-be-reduced-to-a-minority-and-then-blown-out-of-the-water Liberal premier Russell MacLellan.
Liberal leader and premier-in-waiting Stephen McNeil did less well than expected, which was to be expected. Anointed front runners — much more than their mere mortal rivals — must do and say nothing that might surprise, so they say nothing of consequence. McNeil did.
NDP leader and premier presumed-to-be-on-his-farewell-tour Darrell Dexter did better than expected, which was also expected. With poll numbers seemingly stuck below the threshold where his party can win, Dexter had to up his game. Experienced, smart politician that he is, he did.
Conservative leader Jamie Baillie came the closest to a debate surprise, which also wasn't much of surprise. The expectations for also-rans are low and Baillie, by all accounts, more than exceeded them.
Which brings us to the interesting question. What, if anything did the debate — and the one tonight, which I will watch — do to shift electoral sands.
Which brings us back to Baillie. If the pundits are right and Baillie's stock has risen as a result of his debate performance, might some disaffected traditional rural Tory voters — who went NDP last election and are now leaning Liberal — reconsider. Given the closeness of so many contests, even a slight realignment in the vote splits could dramatically alter the constituency calculus. If that happens, well, anything could happen.
Take it from me. I wasn't there.
If you'd like to actually see the debate for yourself, you can do so here.

Martin Vincent established the Astrum Accountants practice in 2007 following a 20 year career running companies and businesses in a range of challenging situations.
Having learnt from his extensive experience at the coal face, Martin decided to set up Astrum Accountants (formerly Vincent Ventures) to help other owners, directors and managers set-up, organise and run their businesses successfully.
Over the years, Martin has benefited from being directly involved, client side, in a range of business opportunities including:
Corporate recovery/turnaround
Business sales and disposals
Staff incentives including option schemes
Business planning and modelling
After qualifying with a Big Eight accountancy firm (now PwC), Martin joined a large US consumer electronics company which is credited with introducing the first genuine laptop computer. Heading up the finance and operations functions for the UK business, Martin was exposed to all aspects of financial administration, systems implementation, performance management, HR and cost control whilst managing significant and fast growth. When the company was sold to a larger competitor, Martin played a key role in aiding the merging of the operations.
From there, Martin took on a direct selling computer manufacturer based in Bristol. After becoming general manager, he led a management buyout of the UK business and grew it to a turnover exceeding £10m from public sector and commercial contracts. The company was eventually sold to a trade competitor.
Martin was then introduced to a regional multi-site retailer with ambitious plans for growth. On joining, the business was carrying high levels of debt and many underperforming businesses. During his time with the Company, the marginal businesses were sold, debt was repaid and the core business completely reengineered. The business became a market leader in its field and Martin helped attract private equity finance to fund further development and growth.
Since Astrum Accountants has been running, Martin has been involved with a number of consultancy based assignments in addition to providing accountancy and tax services for client businesses in a range of sectors:
Solicitors & legal
Franchisees

Q: floating fluid and fixed width element I want to have a 4 columns layout Panel Bar with the following conditions:

*

*#c1, #c2 = with specific width

*#c3 autofill with remaining width

*#c4 auto width (e.g. increase / decrease width if more list added) and will correspond to #c3

I'm looking for a solution that could:

*

*have #c4 floated to the right instead of position absolute

*not having a specific margin right on #c3 and it will correspond spaces dynamically disregards how many list added to #c4

*have a variable width on .smenu rather than having a specific width to get the list item flow horizontally.

*work responsively cross platform and devices (minimum browser support IE8)

*display smenu list horizontally without using a specific width for the container

Additional Issue:

*

*When i hover to the a tag with class name .show-sub the .smenu shows
/ display but when i move my mouse over trying to hover over on one of the sub menu list it goes hidden. What was the way to work around to keep it open when i hover?

Different Attempt:
I've also tried with display:table-cell but couldn't get it working correctly. Click here for demo

A: Have you considered placing #c1 and #c2 inside #c3. It would allow you to set their specific width, float them left or right, thus giving the illusion that #c3 is filling the empty space. I prefer to use tables in the case I need empty space filled. It's my experience that it requires drastically more markup to achieve liquid width with divs than tables.
